Pommel Strike

Pommel Strike is a 1-cost Common Attack card for the Ironclad that deals 9 damage and draws 1 card. The cantrip effect makes this a versatile card that deals damage while replacing itself, maintaining hand size for combo turns.

Pommel Strike is universally useful in any Ironclad deck. It helps find key cards like Demon Form, Fiend Fire, or Impervious. In Rage builds, it generates Block while drawing. The draw helps meet Unrelenting's condition of having 3 Attacks in hand. Inflame and other Strength sources boost its damage while it continues to cycle. Pair with Shrug It Off for a draw-heavy deck that cycles rapidly through its cards.

Pommel Strike is one of the Ironclad's best Common cards due to its versatility. Pick it in any deck, any archetype, at any point in the run. Against every boss from Kaiser Crab to Doormaker, drawing a card while dealing damage is always good. It smooths out draws and keeps your hand quality high. The Ironclad benefits from the consistent cycling to find build-defining cards.
