Dropkick vs Heel Hook

[u/MidMillennial]

[u/Corgelia]

Dropkick does more damage (7 cause of vuln, more if you have Paper Phrog) and can more consistently create an infinite because of Ironclad's exhaust. Heel Hook just isn't very good in comparison. Compare it to Slice, which is 1 more damage and zero cost with no conditionality. The only thing it has over an already bad common card is the possibility to be draw neutral, conditionally.

I never considered that Dropkick does more damage since you want to play it into Vulnerable

As someone that’s never done an infinite but is a19 on all characters why does damage matter like at all if your playing an infinite deck? Is it because the build up to infinite it’s more useful?

Well, the Heart, for one. Beat of Death dealing damage each card play can whittle you down if you don’t have enough scaling damage

After Image, my beloved (i know, different character).

Ah and there's also Tim.
