This is generally either Juggernaut + Feel No Pain, Body Slam + Barricade (can theoretically operate without Barricade, and do keep in mind that you'll have a very hard time stacking excess block against the heart without Corruption), Limit Break, or Demon Form. The other thing you need is scaling damage.

so you ideally want to use it to erase positive strength buffs. Disarm is an extremely valuable pickup as well just keep in mind that the heart cleanses negative strength on turns 4, 7, etc. You still need to get block cards in either case, of course. Feed just does absolutely wondrous things for improving consistency through the virtue of having 40+ additional max HP.

That sounds stupid in a vacuum, but Corruption with Feel No Pain or even just a bunch of skills reads, 'You now block for 0 every turn and can focus on doing other things with your energy.' You would be surprised at how much you can get done with even a dozen or so skills in your deck if you are free to use all your energy on other things. The strongest Ironclad cards against the heart are Feed and Corruption. It's one of very few Ironclad cards that I'd say is worth taking less than 1% of the time it's offered. 2 energy for the amount of damage it does when compared to Anger, Twin Strike or Sword Boomerang is just not a good deal for the inflexibility you get.

Heavy Blade is a particularly bad card and shouldn't be drafted in almost any Ironclad runs.
