Strategy[edit]
Sturdy Stock is rarely played. Outside of Hunters Block, there are many better and more-consistent Dwarven pump events, particularly Dwarf-lords (13U4)
, Awkward Moment (13C2)
, Battle Tested (7U3)
, and Honed (8C6)
. 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 rings like Ring of Fury (9R+7)
. 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: Glóin, Son of Groin (15R6)
, Thorin III, Stonehelm (17R6)
, and three versions of Gimli. Even then, Axe-work (17U5)
is generally more consistent, since it always gives at least +2 strength.
Strengths and Weaknesses[edit]
Strong Versus...[edit]
Weak Versus...[edit]
- An opponent playing only one Hunter minion at a time.
Rulings[edit]
Similar to Sharp Defense (12U13)
, 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.
When a card has a conditional effect in parentheses, you can’t choose which one to use. You have to use the conditional effect if the condition is met.
Sharp Defense (12U13)
adds no strength to a Dwarf who has resistance 4 or more and no possessions. You can't choose to use the +2 instead.
