Bludgeon

Bludgeon is a 3-cost Uncommon Attack card for the Ironclad that deals 32 damage in a single hit. This straightforward but powerful card provides some of the highest single-hit damage available, making it an excellent finisher or burst damage option.

Bludgeon benefits enormously from Vulnerable applied by Bash, Brand, or Tremble, dealing 48 damage with 50 percent amplification. Inflame and Demon Form add Strength directly to the 32 base. Havoc can play Bludgeon for free from the top of the draw pile. Offering and Bloodletting provide the energy to play Bludgeon alongside other cards in the same turn. Setup Strike's temporary Strength boosts the already massive hit.

Bludgeon is the Ironclad's biggest single hit. Pick it when you need a finisher or when your deck has energy generation to support the 3-cost. Against Ceremonial Beast, a Vulnerable Bludgeon deals nearly 50 damage in one card. Against Kaiser Crab, the high single-hit damage cuts through Block effectively. The Ironclad can support Bludgeon's energy cost through Offering, Bloodletting, and other energy tools. It is simple but devastatingly effective.
