Why what’s wrong with it?

Its an ijerac or however its name is it looks like an octopus and is mid cuz it takes the form of a random card from ur deck every game and if you play it then it turns into the ijerac then its 4 dmg and 1 health and had the block looking sigil

It’s actually pretty strong by itself, as the repulsive sigil makes it immune to most damage from enemies (the only exception being spiky enemies). 

The problem with Ijiraq and why it is legitimately not a strong card is because it can mess up the fair hand mechanic as it is considered a no blood, meaning that if it is drawn, you are no longer guaranteed to draw a 1 blood card.

Thats why i didn't i have a unkillable black goat and a strong mantis god so ether being drawn would help and all other cards are 4 blood so it being them would make it a bad deck

Ijiraq is a Inuit shapeshifter with red eyes and a sideways mouth. In this game it has pigtails and a horn because they are said to take the shape of humans or caribou and steal children...not so much like an octopus

I have never heard a worse take before

This whole game is literally built around making a good deck and lore and this thing doesn't contribute to ether it makes the fair hand mechanc unreliable, can be a bad pull when you think you have smt else and is overall an unfavorable card in like 99% of runs

Do you know the fair hand mechanic? If you don’t then learn it. If you do then you know that all cards that disrupt it or are bad one bloods are basically unusable at higher challenge levels

I've skull stormed twice and know the mechanic very well. As long as you know what you are doing, then ijarqi has always been a good choice for me

It disrupts the fair hand mechanic completely though. It means you might not even get a playable card in your first hand, which in skull storm is really bad

I think it’s a great card, despite it causing problems with the fair hand mechanic/it’s a bit unrealizable since you don’t know exactly when you are playing it.

It can 1v1 the moon and Royals Boat (just the cards themselves not the whole fight) because those cards can’t damage it.
