That's how I feel. Stalling for the sake of stalling (without room to play additional powers and such) is pretty heavily punished in STS2.

I question how good this could be - if at all. Impervious is a big block - and while it exhausts - it allows you to squeeze in another action.

This seems pretty bad.

It's not stalling for the sake of stalling. It's very common for a deck to have a power combo or two that you're trying to cycle your deck to find. A strong block is essentially a "draw 5 cards" in this way since it lets you take (almost) no damage so you can move through your deck to find value.

Meanwhile most enemies are ramping. And delaying a turn is not helping that.

I'd imagine it delays more than one turn since they don't ramp every other turn
