How to play Claw

  • Play every Claw you draw. Each copy increases the damage of the others, so the order matters less than the total number played.
  • Pair it with draw and cheap card generation. The deck wants to cycle through Claws quickly and repeatedly.
  • Upgrade it when Claw is the main plan. The upgrade adds both base damage and scaling, which compounds with every copy.

Common mistakes

  • Taking one Claw and expecting it to scale. A single copy is just a weak 0-cost attack.
  • Playing Claw in a deck with no draw. You need to find the copies repeatedly for the scaling to matter.
