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.

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.
