Pillage

IroncladAttackUncommon
Deal 6 damage.
Draw cards until you draw a non-Attack card.

One Energy deals 6 damage, 9 upgraded, then draws cards one at a time.

  • Stop: until it draws a card that is not an Attack, your hand reaches 10, or nothing is left to draw.
  • Keep: every card drawn stays in hand, the non-Attack that stopped it included.
  • Typical: in an Attack-heavy deck it often draws three or four; in a balanced deck usually one or two.

When to take Pillage

Take it for Attack-heavy Ironclad decks with Attack-count payoffs, since the floor is a Strike that replaces itself and the ceiling is a full hand. Upgrade for damage over draw.
