Brand

Brand is a 2-cost Rare Attack card for the Ironclad that deals 20 damage and applies 3 Vulnerable to the target. The combination of high damage and heavy Vulnerable application makes it one of the most impactful single-target Attack cards available.

Brand applies enough Vulnerable for Stampede to draw 3 cards, Bully to deal significant bonus damage, and Dominate to gain 3 Strength. Follow Brand with Dismantle or Vicious for attacks that trigger off Vulnerable. Molten Fist can double Brand's 3 Vulnerable to 6, creating an enormous damage window. Pillage steals 1 enemy Strength when the target is Vulnerable, combining offense and debuffing.

Brand is a top-tier Rare for Ironclad Vulnerable decks. Pick it as a standalone damage card or as the centerpiece of a Vulnerable strategy. Against Kaiser Crab, the Vulnerable helps all your Attacks cut through the boss's Block. Against Soul Fysh, Brand's 20 damage plus Vulnerable sets up a fast kill. The Ironclad's Vulnerable exploiters become dramatically stronger with Brand's heavy application.
