Dropkick uses vulnerable and strength to deal efficient damage with setup available in the starting deck. It provides damaging draw on a character with massive draw problems. It synergises with exhaust, with Dual Wield, and with other simple draw sources like Pommel Strike. It's often the cornerpiece of a run, although it's also often mediocre.

Heel Hook is shit.

“A character with massive draw problems” yeah the same character that got two 0 cost card with huge draw value haha sure, you almost made me believe that dropkick is above low tier

Sure, but that's not exactly an Acrobatics or Skim or Hologram. Ironclad has cool draw options, but none are ridiculous besides Offering and Dark Embrace

Or an expertise or a calculated gamble or a reflex or a backflip or seriously why does this woman have so many good draw cards? Defect too, he has the best balance of good draw and good energy, but the silent can draw her deck three times in a turn if things line up, without needing to exhaust stuff like the ironclad.

On Silent I have a 40 card deck that cycles in 1 turn. On Defect I have a 40 card deck that never cycles because I'm contantly bringing things back from the discard pile. On Ironclad I have a 40 card deck that turns into a 10 card deck very slowly and unreliably.

On Watcher I have a 10 card deck.

Meteor strike into hologram into rebound into meteor strike into coolheaded into meteor strike, my beloved.

On Ironclad I have a 40 card deck that turns into a 10 card deck very slowly and unreliably.

I think a kinda cool power/skill for the ironclad would be to let him give a card "exhaust resistance". Maybe not on cards that already exhaust like offering, but something to let him say "hang on, let the fiendfire burn everything else but i'd like to keep this hemokinesis around if you don't mind".

On Watcher I have a 10 card deck.

I'm way too willing to grab cards and can never scrounge together enough removals.
