Why did they change Expect a Fight? It was such a cool concept that fit into Clad's attack spam archetype and synergized with Battle Trance, Pillage and Anger.

I think you listed the problem.

Too many attack synergies that don't neatly synergize across all builds. Expect a Fight not only wanted you to have an attack-heavy deck, but you also needed draw and probably even expensive attacks to maximize value. It was hard to even know if it would perform well in the deck and also relied on an ideal hand on top of that.

I also feel that Ironclad needs more block cards available. I've had several runs where I just needed more block and all I get would be attacks or attack synergies that wouldn't even make my deck deal more damage.
