Stack is a common Skill for The Defect that grants Icon Block Block, scaling with the number of cards in your Discard Pile.

Upgrading Stack adds 3 Icon Block Block to the card's effect.

Stack doesn't count itself for its effect.

Strategy[]

Stack is a powerful Icon Block Block generator with high variance. As long as you don't draw it in your first hand of the deck, it's at least as strong as Defend. If you draw it in your third or later hand, it's more effective than Leap.

While Stack's effect scales with your deck's size, you don't need a huge deck to get big value. In a deck of only 20 cards, Stack has a 50% chance of providing 10 or more Block.

When playing Stack, carefully sequence your plays to maximize its value. Generally, Stack is strongest as your last play of the turn, but be careful not to empty your deck and reshuffle your discard pile!
