'''Sturdy Stock''' is rarely played. Outside of [[Hunters Block]], there are many better and more-consistent {{C|Dwarven}} [[pump]] [[event]]s, particularly {{Card|Dwarf-lords}}, {{Card|Awkward Moment}}, {{Card|Battle Tested}}, and {{Card|Honed}}. All of these cards give a higher base strength bonus, and give more benefit under circumstances you can control rather than relying on your opponent to be playing a swarm of [[Hunter]] minions. They don't increase Damage +X, but there are generally better, more-consistent options to do that, particularly the [[artifact]] [[ring]]s like {{Card|Ring of Fury}}. In Hunter's Block play, you're unlikely to be playing a [[dwarf]]-specific pump event anyway because there are only three dwarfs in the whole [[format]]: {{Card|Gloin, Son of Groin}}, {{Card|Thorin III, Stonehelm}}, and three versions of [[Gimli]]. Even then, {{Card|Axe-work}} is generally more consistent, since it always gives at least +2 [[strength]].

= Strengths and Weaknesses =
== Strong Versus... ==

* An opponent playing many [[Hunter]] [[minion]]s at once.

== Weak Versus... ==

* An opponent playing only one [[Hunter]] minion at a time.

= Rulings =
Similar to {{Card|Sharp Defense}}, if there's one [[Hunter]] minion in play, you have to grant the dwarf +1 [[strength]] and [[Damage]] +1. You can't choose the +2 strength instead.
