They all have exceptions, but all card and event decisions should be made with them in mind. There are a few constant playstyle decisions that I will be assuming throughout the run.
I will talk more about these later when I get into how to actually draft your cards. However, I find that making these types of decks with Ironclad relies a bit too much on finding certain key cards.Īnother big reason why defensive decks work well is the presence of one-card win conditions that will eventually lead to a win despite playing mostly blocks every turn. The best way to mitigate this risk is to create small, focused decks. If your deck relies on killing the enemy as quickly as possible, then if you ever enter a battle and cannot win in one or two turns, you face taking large amounts of damage from the enemy attacks. If your deck is filled with defensive cards, you have a high chance of being able to defend against enough damage every turn. Why should we build the Ironclad in a defensive manner? In short, I find it more consistent.Īs long as you defend against all of the incoming damage every turn, you only need a minimum amount of offense to win the fight. Also, their main stat is Strength, while the Silent is focused more on Dexterity.

Hopefully, you can use this knowledge as well to improve your skills on the Ironclad. I (Quincunx/ForgottenArbiter) have personally used primarily this style to obtain a current active win streak of 16. The Ironclad supports many different styles of play, but I have found this style to be the most simple and consistent for securing consecutive victories. This guide will focus on a particular way to play the Ironclad class that is very defensive. I describe the cards I prioritize at different points in the game, my approach to navigating the map, and more. This guide describes the strategy I use to maintain long (10+) win streaks when playing as The Ironclad.
