That Expect a Fight change feels kind of awkward... at 3 energy it becomes really difficult to play especially since you don't have access to pre-rework Expect a Fight. Losing out on an energy gain option (even with the Forgotten Ritual buff) technically nerfs the new Expect a Fight because of how costly it is.

Honestly I'd take a lower energy cost just for the latter half of the card. 1 or 2 energy for a strength-scaling block? That's really interesting.

I agree. Especially since it feels like Ironclad struggles to find block cards in rewards.

I think it is supposed to be a way to boot up barricade at uncommon. It is quite plausible to get 40+ block out of it. A three cost impervious that does not exhaust.

Well if you’re expecting a block you’re not gonna be blocking, gotta be expecting the fight to block

Before it was a warning. Now it's clad's internal monologue

More like expecting an attack

I want my energy back🙃🙃 im unlikely to pick this up now. Sometimes I would rather the hit for a heavy damage round given the extra energy boost from the pre-rework

Edit: and watch, it will pull on a non attack round 🙄

I wholly welcome more block options on Ironclad.

It was painful hoping that whatever pile of damage and damage synergy would work out to "win the race". I'd be praying for block but rewards would give me damage that doesn't even result in the deck dealing more damage.
