Headbutt

Headbutt is a 1-cost Common Attack card for the Ironclad that deals 9 damage and lets you choose a card from your discard pile to place on top of your Draw Pile. This top-of-deck manipulation ensures you draw a specific card next turn.

Headbutt is incredible for setting up Havoc, which plays the top card for free and Exhausts it. Place Bludgeon or Pyre on top for a free massive play. It also helps replay Rampage faster for scaling damage. In decks with Impervious or Offering, Headbutt ensures they are available when needed. The card manipulation is essentially a tutor effect that guarantees your next draw. Pair with Pommel Strike to draw the placed card immediately.

Headbutt is a uniquely powerful Common card for the Ironclad. Pick it for the deck manipulation, which becomes more valuable as your deck contains more powerful individual cards. Against Doormaker and multi-phase bosses, being able to guarantee your best card next turn is invaluable. Against Kaiser Crab, place your highest-damage card on top for the right moment. The Ironclad's many powerful Rare cards make Headbutt's manipulation consistently impactful.
