&lt;p&gt;In this video, I rank all of The Ironclad’s Rare cards from Slay the Spire: The Board Game, based on how often I tend to pick or skip them in real runs rather than their pure theoretical power. I go through each card one by one, talk about what makes it work (or not), which decks it tends to fit into, and how it contributes to damage output, defence, scaling, or overall deck synergy. The goal isn’t to label anything strictly “good” or “bad”, but to give a practical perspective that might help you make better decisions during your runs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In this video, I play a full 4-act run of Slay the Spire: The Board Game with The Silent on the highest Ascension 13. As always with Slay the Spire, you don’t really “choose” a build, you adapt to what the game gives you, and in this run, I end up leaning into some discard shenanigans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The run goes all the way through all four acts, including The Heart, and is packed with strategy discussion, decision-making, and real-time thought process throughout. I talk through pathing, card picks, relic choices, and more. If you enjoy full playthroughs with detailed commentary and practical reasoning behind each decision, I hope this one is both useful and enjoyable to watch.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this video, I walk through how to play The Ironclad in Slay the Spire: The Board Game, covering everything you need to get started. I explain how the character works, highlight key synergies, and show how damage scaling works across different builds based on my experience playing the game. This isn’t a definitive way to play The Ironclad, but it’s meant to help you better understand how the character functions and what makes it strong. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your strategy, I hope this guide is helpful.&lt;/p&gt;
