Infernal Blade

IroncladSkillUncommon
Add a random Attack into your Hand. It's free to play this turn.
Exhaust.

A random Attack from the Ironclad card pool is created in your Hand with its cost set to 0 for this turn; the code draws from the unlocked pool and avoids duplicates already generated this combat. It can be anything from Strike to Bludgeon or Fiend Fire. The card exhausts. Upgrading drops its own cost from 1 to 0, so the whole package is free.
