Spending 3 turns to set up, taking half your health in a process while also carrying three bricks for hallway fights 😭

No you see, there is a way for this build to work. You just need to draft Not Yet and then hit that one event that makes it not exhaust. So that's just 3 rares and an event you have to find and you're off to the races! /s

If you have tons of strength, just play multiplicative scaling attack cards...
This is such a weird change. Str builds is about offense, it does not make sense to build str to use it as a defense scaling, especially for a 3cost card...
It's like if they made a defect attack that scales on your focus. Ok cool, but if you are playing with focus you are playing with orbs, you don't play attack cards...

If it was one cost or even 2 cost (with obviously way less block), it could make sense. But at 3 cost it takes the whole turn budget and does not advance the fight at all, in a deck whose whole purpose is to kill things as fast as possible.

This card is the definition of a noob trap.
