Dominate

Dominate is a 1-cost Uncommon Skill card for the Ironclad that grants 1 Strength for each stack of Vulnerable currently on all enemies. Against a single enemy with 3 Vulnerable, this is a 1-cost card that gives 3 permanent Strength; against multiple Vulnerable enemies, the value multiplies dramatically.

Dominate is at its best when combined with Vulnerable-applying cards like Brand, Mangle, and Taunt. Taunt applies Vulnerable to ALL enemies, maximizing the Strength gain from Dominate in multi-enemy fights. Follow up with Stampede or Bully to capitalize on both the Vulnerable and the new Strength. Bash provides reliable Vulnerable application in the starting deck to ensure Dominate always has targets.

Dominate bridges the Ironclad's Vulnerable and Strength archetypes, making it a premium pick when you already have strong Vulnerable application. It shines in hallway fights against multiple enemies where Taunt plus Dominate can generate 4-6 Strength in a single turn. Against bosses like Test Subject #C10 that summon minions, the multi-target Vulnerable becomes extremely potent. Avoid picking it if your deck lacks consistent Vulnerable sources.
