Stampede

Stampede is a 2-cost Uncommon Attack card for the Ironclad that deals 12 damage and draws cards equal to the Vulnerable stacks on the target enemy. With 3 Vulnerable on the enemy, Stampede deals 12 damage and draws 3 cards, making it both a damage and draw card.

Stampede requires heavy Vulnerable setup. Brand applies 3 Vulnerable for a 3-card draw, and Mangle does the same. Molten Fist doubles Vulnerable to create even larger draws. The drawn cards let you play more Attacks, which Rage converts to Block and Inflame amplifies with Strength. Dominate can be drawn and played for immediate Strength from the same Vulnerable. Bash provides the baseline 2 Vulnerable for 2 draws.

Stampede is a premium card for Ironclad Vulnerable decks. Pick it when you have strong Vulnerable application to fuel the draw. Against Kaiser Crab, the card draw keeps your hand full for sustained pressure. Against Lagavulin Matriarch, drawing extra cards helps find answers to debuffs. Without Vulnerable, it is just 12 damage for 2 energy, which is below average. The Ironclad's Vulnerable archetype rewards Stampede with both damage and card advantage.
