Ironclad

A Cost 1 attack dealing 9 damage and gaining +5 damage per play this combat (+9 upgraded). A unique scaling card that strengthens itself. Upgraded, each play adds 9 damage — 1st play 9, 2nd 18, 3rd 27… exponential growth. Pairing with Headbutt to recycle the same Rampage stacks damage rapidly. Shines most in long fights but 2-3 plays already deliver strong output even in short boss fights.

The strongest usage is the Headbutt loop: Headbutt -> Rampage -> Rampage hits discard -> Headbutt places on top -> next turn Rampage again. This cycle grows Rampage by 5-9 damage every turn. Combined with Combat Pragmatism (turn-start upgrade + transfer of discard attack), you can potentially get an upgraded Rampage each turn. Multiple copies work independently, so more copies = more stable damage.

• Headbutt: Places discards on top. The core loop that multiplies Rampage damage each turn.
• Combat Pragmatism: Power upgrading discard attack into hand at turn start. Provides upgraded Rampage each turn.
• Cascade: X-cost play top X. Headbutt + Cascade to chain the stacked Rampage.
• Juggling: Copies 3rd attack. Additional Rampage copies accelerate stacking.
• Inflame / Demon Form: Strength buffs. Compound with high-stack Rampage for massive damage.
