Infernal Blade

Infernal Blade is a 1-cost Uncommon Skill card for the Ironclad that adds a random Attack card to your hand that costs 0 energy this turn. The random Attack can be anything from a modest damage card to a devastating Rare, providing high-variance value.

Infernal Blade can generate copies of powerful Attacks like Bludgeon, Fiend Fire, or Primal Force at 0 cost. In Exhaust decks, the generated card can be Exhausted by Fiend Fire or Second Wind for draw and Block through Dark Embrace and Feel No Pain. The free Attack triggers Rage for Block generation. Strength from Inflame or Demon Form applies to whatever Attack is generated, ensuring minimum value even on low rolls.

Infernal Blade is a high-variance utility card for the Ironclad. Pick it when you want flexible options or when your deck benefits from having extra Attacks. Against Doormaker, the random free Attack provides extra resources in a long fight. Against Knowledge Demon, a lucky high-damage roll can end the fight early. The Ironclad's Strength bonuses ensure even a weak generated Attack deals reasonable damage. Accept the variance and enjoy the occasional spectacular result.
