Mangle

Mangle is a 2-cost Rare Attack card for the Ironclad that deals 18 damage, applies 3 Vulnerable, and applies 2 Weak. This triple-effect card provides damage, damage amplification through Vulnerable, and damage reduction through Weak, making it an incredibly efficient single play.

Mangle sets up the same Vulnerable synergies as Brand, powering up Stampede, Bully, Dismantle, and Dominate. The Weak application provides defensive value that stacks with Block from Shrug It Off and Flame Barrier. Pillage can steal enemy Strength from the Vulnerable target. Vicious triggers its double hit from the Vulnerable application. Molten Fist doubles the Vulnerable from 3 to 6 for an extended damage window.

Mangle is one of the Ironclad's most versatile Rare cards, providing offense, Vulnerable setup, and defense in one package. Pick it in any deck that values Vulnerable, and even in decks without explicit Vulnerable synergy for the raw efficiency. Against The Insatiable, the Weak debuff is critical for survival while the Vulnerable amplifies your counterattack. Against Doormaker, the combined debuffs give you both offense and defense each time you play it.
