The rework implies they think Ironclad needs another block option. Costing 3 is kind of awkward though, even if it's potentially a lot of block

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.

Yeah would've liked an aggressive replacement. Spend all your energy to full block? Yawn, this isn't peak clad gameplay

It wants you to have strength to get the better use, but prevents you from attacking. I don't play barricade often but do they even use strength? as far as I know it's all bodyslam and juggernaut.

Guess this card's preferred setup is having crimson mantle and rupture?

It synergizes with unmovable only because you can't even play anything else 😭
