[@natckwan]

that's a disgusting combo

[@MonkeyFromTheMoon]

Well it basically works with just the 0 mana card as well (not sure if you need 2 of them though) so yeah... that's why 0 mana draw is broken in literally every card game i know

[@bernardolavor]

DISGUSTINGLY INSANE

[@MadManMatrix]

You have to have two as it draws before discarding so it would draw nothing if you only had one

[@ChibiRuah]

0 mana and draw a card are very dangerous cards to balance in any game. Because they are very very close to just free.

[@noleti]

very nice run. imagine this with the right relics like the shuriken or sundial. Before seeing this, I was wondering how to get the "defeat the boss in 1 turn" achievement

[@RiskyCB]

Yeah Shuriken would have been the nuts. I originally got the achieve with Silent with an Acrobatics/Gamble/Concentrate infinite.

[@joewein9833]

noleti nf

[@dawsonjunga7866]

What does concentrate do again? Acrobatics is the draw 3 discard one and Gamble is the discard your hand draw the same amount, so I assume its either damage when discarded or its a power based on drawing/discarding/card being played.

[@peterbergeon2526]

I am so mad because I just missed my best opportunity to get the achievement. Had a +11 searing blow with the double damage relic along side a bash in the beginning into a clash and vulnerable strike, it was the perfect draw (searing blow was guaranteed because of a relic) and the only reason I couldn't 1 shot the time eater is because I opted to heal at the last rest instead of leveling searing blow. instead of doing 410 damage I did 380, and with the double damage and vulnerable I would have killed it :( . Almost 1 shot with a 40 card deck.

[@megaman161]

Concentrate is a zero cost card; "Discard 3 cards, Gain 2 Energy."

Here i made it a video for you gaming.kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap3FpYR_rJd1rqc&feature=share

[@godlyvex5543]

unless time eater but that was obvious

[@marie2480]

If only egg NL understood the game this much

[@Tauposaurus]

"I want to keep a thin deck, but both card A and B would work well with our current setup" 5 minutes of reflection. Randomly adds card C for no reason.

[@tickleyourmango2206]

I always wondered if this was possible! When I first started playing this game and I saw Drop Kick I thought that you could somehow get an infinite cycle using that card but I wasn't certain and never had the right chance to test it. Thanks for the video!

[@zamochit1989]

And what if you had run into the time-eater???

[@Xangar_Ferbar]

Of course it would've ruined the combo, but you could do 66 Damage Turn 1 into 72 Damage the following turns. You'd have to survive 6 more turns (not calculating in the Weakness-Debuff + 20 Block he can gain or the Heal). So the outcome of the battle is almost always grim.

[@taculo3231]

And Time Eater would have +2 strength from philosopher Stone

[@williamebel4763]

and that's my problem with this game... Ultra counter bosses or ultra faceroll... never between both... Some people claim to be balanced... GARBAGE...

[@XoIoRouge]

You can see what boss you're fighting this floor, and while this combo gets hard countered by Time Eater, he did look and see the 3rd boss. If it was time eater, he'd have changed his strat (albeit slightly since it would be found this late). Lastly, any *hard forced* deck will get *hard* countered. This is called being "Greedy" which occurs various times in card games. If you go all-in on your strategy, and no defense, one mistake or enemy-type and you can fail. If you dilute your strategy to add in some block, then you can make up for the mistake. Yes, CB got really lucky early on, and even later on too. A greedy deck wins with more luck than strategy, but if you don't want to get hard-countered, don't build a greedy deck. CB signed up for the greed, and was banking on fighting someone other than Time Eater. It paid off.

[@megaman161]

My first Silent Shiv run that I got to work was very Power-heavy. Who would the final boss of that run be I wonder? The Awakened One of course. **facepalm**

[@RKBock]

finally a combo that can kill nemesis the way it deserves! with >300 stabs while it has it's buff up!

[@Krehoa]

This run was sweet ,subscribed for the edited video =)

[@kingborgar35]

I was laughing the whole time, the start looked as crazy when I was doing a deck based on exiling card

[@LBandCOOLJ]

Fuck me, to be the Champ I had to fight the most elites possible with my card draw until I had well over 100 HP, relying heavily on pen nib to come in clutch. God-like plays from you

[@zamochit1989]

How did you avoid spike and explosion damage at 8:25? You don't have any block.

[@Raz6oynik]

He lost 31 hp on that event 8+8+3x5

[@theAgentify]

he didn't, look at the HP before and after the event

[@HappyDragneels_page]

also there were 2 spiked slimes so its 8 + 8 + (3 x 5) x 2 which is 46

[@HappyDragneels_page]

52 even because the spiked slimes take 6 hits to kill if he didnt have the strength gain card at that time

[@XoIoRouge]

HAXXOR!

[@Chanmazap]

The final bosses are going to be having Flash of Steel flashbacks for a long time to come.

[@uncreativehuman3480]

Houston we have reached infinity

[@muteuser]

Got super lucky with all that card removal. Awesome.

[@TornadoOfRage]

So can someone explain to me how cards kept shuffling back into his hand? I thought you had to have certain relic that lets you go on and on? Or was it just because he had a small deck, they just kept reshuffling into is hand?

[@SophieHesper]

Dropkick allows you to draw one more card if the target is vulnerable and flash of steel allows you to do damage and draw a card

[@TwilightSentinel]

ayyyye good call on tycho :3

[@TheArmouredGoose]

Been hoping for this run for awhile, haven't had the luck yet, good stuff though looks so fun

[@aeowinh]

Man this combo will be able to defeat the TIme eater?

[@taculo3231]

Nope, he would've been destroyed, Time Eater is the ultimate counter to infinites.

[@rolan638]

CoofeZinho69 yeah I think it sucks. It's like oh you wanna play a combo deck? Well ok but we'll put in a 30% chance for you to losw instantly.

[@Med1umentor]

why everyone so afraid of time eater? because he end turn on 12 card? because he gain strength with that? it's not really taht big issue, but everyone on internet losing their mind about him, wtf? I never had any trouble with time eater whatsoever, even with my most recycling heavy decks. Not bragging, just don't understand why everyone so freaking out about him.

[@williamebel4763]

because you never made decks based purelly on recycling... or any really combo deck... or just play as the fighter. Or you are ignorant (I mean no harm) or doesn't have any experience with the situation.

[@Med1umentor]

yes, i'm ignorant, because still don't understand. I mean, yeah, my deck with 38 card that recyclies itself by 80% in one turn weren't infinite, but it's definitely recycle one. What i can say about time eater - yeah, he was pain in the ass, but that's all. What i keep hearing is - "Omg, it's time eater, you gonna lose 100%". That's what i don't understand! Yeah, he is gonna be a pain, but if your deck isn't absolutely terrible one, you can cope with that 12 turns limit. If not - that recycle deck has no meaning if it recycle itself without doing anything. P.S. What i wanted to hear exactly "experience of situation". Tell me roughly what your deck had, how battle progressed, and how time eater made you lose. It would be great information for me in the future.

[@kratox123]

is this some known seed or what ? like everything lined up perfect for the remove card

would this have worked without the dual wield? or is it not possible to make a 1 card deck?

Watching these confuses me because I still have no idea how they aren't taking so much damage in fights that they dont need to rest. Every time I get to a campsite in this I seem to only have 10 hp left no matter what I do

how do you deal with negated debuff buff on mob ?

[@be7256]

uh slay the spire is a weird one with metas you kinda just play whatever youre given most people dont even settle on a build till halfway through act 2

[@1un4cy]

Would it still work if your deck was nothing but 1 Flash of Steel? Or can it not draw into itself?

[@SophieHesper]

It wouldn't work since the effect procs before it goes into the discard pile

[@DaveYognaut01]

This is fucking awesome.

[@DyrianLightbringer]

[@Mejayy]

What if the enemy has thorns?

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

You could do it with one. Have escape plan and letter opener for the silent.

[@RiskyCB]

It wouldn't draw itself.

[@ultimaterecoil1136]

Arjen Brenninkmeijer is letter opener or spinning top rarer. Whichever has the more common relic i feel would be easier to get. Also I feel exhaust cards that you can control what gets exhausted are helpful for infinites because you don't have to get super lucky with peace pipe lose two card start with events that take away cards. You can just lower your deck down low enough for flash of steal or any free draw card with a damage for playing cards or skills to becom an infinite.

[@GewalfofWivia]

escape plan * 2 may work

[@Thezemon]

let us see you fighting the time keeper

[@fantomp1773]

what about just flash of steel?

[@Gracklef1int]

Why remove Panache and Flex? Was it going too fast for you?

[@HopperDragon]

Had to remove panache because of the "falling" event. Removed flex to make it a two card deck for memes

[@jollyvoqar195]

There is more to say - cheese is cheese. They'll probably add a minimum deck size mechanic or max cards playable in a turn to eliminate cheese. Still some RNG involved though as a mob with damage reflect would wreck this.

[@KhronicD]

Jolly Voqar I suppose they might remove the achievements that can only be gotten using these mechanics, but I highly doubt it. Also there are already card per turn limit mechanics in the game.

[@MaelraJade]

Imagine having a Sun Dial Relic with this so you got infinite Dual Wild xD

[@aleksandardjordjevic6290]

Why didnt you keep the strength card , it would go much faster ?

[@RiskyCB]

It wouldn't have been a 2 card deck.

[@aleksandardjordjevic6290]

RiskyCB i mean remove the duplicate card and keep strenght!
