Phantom Blades

Phantom Blades is a 1-cost Uncommon Attack card for the Ironclad that deals 4 damage 3 times to a single target. The triple hit at low cost benefits from Strength, with each hit gaining the full Strength bonus for triple the effective Strength investment.

Phantom Blades scales with Strength like Primal Force and Sword Boomerang. Inflame adds 2 to each hit for 18 total, and Demon Form's escalating Strength makes it a late-game powerhouse. Vulnerable from Bash or Brand amplifies all 3 hits. Rage generates Block from the Attack play. Setup Strike's temporary Strength adds to each hit. In a fully scaled Strength deck, Phantom Blades competes with Primal Force for damage output.

Phantom Blades is an excellent Strength payoff card for the Ironclad. Pick it when you have reliable Strength generation. Against Kaiser Crab, the triple hit with Strength helps overwhelm defenses. Against Ceremonial Beast, the burst damage from Strength-boosted triple hits can be lethal. The Ironclad's Strength tools make Phantom Blades increasingly efficient. At Uncommon rarity, it is easier to find than Primal Force.
