Strategy Guide

For Beginners

  • This card requires careful hand management to be effective
  • Keep track of the number of cards in both players' hands
  • Consider using Trainer cards that help you match your opponent's hand size
  • The high damage output (170) makes it worth building a strategy around

For Intermediate Players

  • Pair with cards that let you draw or discard to match opponent's hand size
  • Use Trainer cards that reveal opponent's hand to plan your moves
  • Consider cards that prevent your opponent from changing their hand size
  • The relatively high retreat cost suggests using switching cards

For Advanced Players

  • Build deck strategies around hand size control
  • Use cards like Professor's Research strategically to set up optimal hand sizes
  • Consider tech cards that can manipulate both players' hand sizes
  • Can be used as a powerful counter to decks that typically maintain specific hand sizes

Competitive Tips

  1. Monitor your opponent's draw patterns
  2. Keep track of cards that could change hand sizes
  3. Use Iron Boulder as a surprise attacker when conditions align
  4. Have backup attackers ready when hand sizes don't match
