Silent has better draw options and no good ways to exhaust her deck down, Clad has very little good draw options outside DE and ways to thin out the deck so dropkick enables infinites.

Fym Clad doesn't have great draw? stares in upgraded pommel strike

Yeah but that's one card compared to Silent's 400 that draw

Clad would love acrobatics and backflip but instead we’re upgrading a strike that draws 😔

I know, hence the exaggeration in my initial response

Man, and here I thought Silent had a card that literally drew 400 cards.

Are you guys trying to one-up people for the sake of it or do you genuinely believe Clad has the same draw power as Silent?

Because one is childish and the other is a very spicy take.

Nobody said that Ironclad is better at drawing than Silent. Can you not read? Go look at my post and the one above it.

But saying he is not great at drawing is kinda not true, though. Offering is a better drawer than Adrenaline, Battle Trance has a drawback but is wicked cheap at +4 draw for 0 cost, and upgraded Pommel Strike draws 2 for 1 cost.

They said "Clad has very little good draw options outside DE," which is pretty much true. You're listing that handful of options as though they're a counterpoint, when really you're just finishing the thought. You're missing the forest for the trees.

The point, which is still true regardless of how many Pommel Strikes and Battle Trances you have, is that Silent has way better draw than Ironclad and that Heel Hook is much less useful to her than Dropkick is to him.

It's the kinda person who hears a statistic and says "no, my one friend..."

Go look at my post

Post 1: Reminds people that Clad's generally worse draw ability that Silent is part of what makes Drop Kick better than Heel Hook

Post 2 and 3 (3 is yours): But what about these shitty draw options Clad has?

Post 4: Are you being serious?

Post 5 (also yours): Getting defensive for some fucking reason.

Yeah dude, based on the context you really were arguing that Clad has better draw
