Block stops decaying, so it stacks all fight — turns Ironclad into an unkillable wall and enables Body Slam turns.

Turns a stacked Block wall into a one-hit kill — the payoff card of any Barricade defensive deck.

Ironclad wins by turning HP and cards into permanent combat advantage: Strength makes attacks matter, Exhaust trims the deck, and Barricade-style block engines buy enough time for boss fights.

Converts a defensive deck into a damage engine; pairs with Barricade for huge repeated hits.

Roughly doubles your defense every turn — pairs with Barricade and Body Slam for an unkillable wall.

A big lump of Block for cheap; the HP cost feeds Rupture and enables Body Slam turns.

Compounding Strength every turn snowballs out of control in long fights, though the 3-cost turn it lands is a tempo hit.

Use Exhaust to shrink the deck, draw more cards, and turn defense into damage.

Efficient Block that replaces itself — the reliable defensive common every Ironclad deck wants a couple of.
