Shrug It Off

Gain 8 Block. Draw 1 card.

Shrug It Off is a 1-cost Common Skill card for the Ironclad that grants 8 Block and draws 1 card. The combination of solid Block and a cantrip effect makes it one of the best Common cards in the game, as it protects you while replacing itself in hand.

Shrug It Off is excellent in Barricade decks where the Block persists, and the draw helps find Body Slam. Juggernaut triggers from the Block gain. The card draw cycles toward key cards like Demon Form, Fiend Fire, or Impervious. In Exhaust builds with Dark Embrace, the draw from Shrug It Off stacks to cycle through your deck rapidly. Feel No Pain and Shrug It Off together provide strong sustained defense for the Ironclad.

Shrug It Off is one of the Ironclad's best Common cards, and it is almost never wrong to pick it. It fits every archetype: Block, Exhaust, Strength, and self-damage builds all want the Block and draw. Against every boss from Kaiser Crab to The Insatiable, a reliable Block-and-draw card is always welcome. Pick it whenever offered, especially early in a run when your deck needs consistency. The Ironclad's Burning Blood relic keeps you healthy while Shrug It Off keeps you safe.
