Howl from Beyond

Howl from Beyond is a 2-cost Uncommon Attack card for the Ironclad that deals 16 damage to ALL enemies. Its unique feature is that it can be played directly from the Exhaust Pile, giving it recursion that no other card offers. Once Exhausted, it remains available as a repeatable AoE option.

Howl from Beyond is incredible with Fiend Fire and Conflagration, which Exhaust it to the pile where it can then be replayed. Dark Embrace draws when it is Exhausted, and Feel No Pain provides Block. The card essentially becomes a recurring AoE that you can play every turn from the Exhaust pile. Burning Pact can intentionally Exhaust it to set up the loop. Ashen Strike benefits from the growing Exhaust pile even as Howl from Beyond recurs.

Howl from Beyond is a unique card for the Ironclad that gets better the more Exhaust synergy you have. Pick it in any Exhaust deck as a repeatable damage source. Against Test Subject #C10 and multi-enemy encounters, the recurring AoE is exceptional. The 2-energy cost per play from Exhaust is significant, so ensure your deck has the energy to support it. It is one of the Ironclad's most distinctive cards and warrants building around.
