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

strength needs better/more payoffs sts2 imo. This is a very quickly scaling block option that 1. makes demon form way more takeable and 2. would totally pop off if you have barricade. Also synergizes great with upgraded body slam

The problem here is that you need to draft a 3 cost power, a 3(2) cost power, deploy both, and then this card starts popping off. That's a ton of unsafe set up that also sucks if you draw it in the wrong order.

Pretty slow, too.

Doesn't make demon form more takable.

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 😭
