Swallow penny ranking is criminal, that shit is op af. It always drops a coin, and that coin can be dime or nickel and sometimes a lucky penny. When you get an arcade you can basically grantee you pay out all the machine and beggers. Not to mention d20 game breaks that are some times possible. Although i agreed it useless late game, but early and mid game basically a free win if you use it right.

[@jgames5fun503]

Swallowed Penny isnt op. I dont see how you'd get a full arcade pay out with just Swallowed Penny (besides maybe a blood donation bank (which Blood Donation Banks are op af, I will give you that). Breaking the game with d20 is free and definetly doesnt require swallowed penny just d20 plus anything that drops pick-ups does the trick.

[@liplaygames5591]

This FR Swallowed Penny atleast deserved to be in cool i guess tier for these reasons: 1. It's a godsend on playing the Keepers it's so busted on them it had to be nerfed to only be a chance. 2. It has a high chance to appear early game due to dropping from pots (A 2.5% chance per pot broken compared to Petrified Poops 0.5% though you break more poops than pots so you might see it more) which are usually on the basement, like petrified poop another really strong trinket in the cool tier. 3. Blood banks become even more powerful than they already are, doubling the amount of money you make from them. 4. The chance to see a blood bank goes up, because you can save up enough money early to get an arcade to spawn. 5. ANYTHING that requires taking damage gives you a slight benefit that can add up over a run (Sac rooms, Cursed rooms, Spiked Chests). I will concede that late game when you no longer have shops it is no longer useful but has a similar falloff to petrified poop because by the time you stop seeing shops is the same time you stop seeing poop on floors.

Yeah honestly this video starts off with bs right away. How tf is Swallowed Penny worse than Petrified Poop? Sure you don't want to take damage and should always imply a perfect player when ranking stuff... But how many high poop seeds are there actually? Chances are you get Petrified Poop in Basement and maybe two coins from the five poops you encounter. And then never encounter much poop ever again except for red poop in Super Secret Rooms/Womb. Card against humanity is very rare you can't bet on getting it. Swallowed Penny, there are plenty of instances where taking damage is still worth it, like Blood Donation Machines, chests/pickups behind spikes...you can allow yourself to get hit to make it for a Shop Item...Swallowed Penny is good you can turn your spare hearts into coin and ensure your shop buy every floor. Petrified Poop only really works with other Poop synergy items. Otherwise weak trinket.

30:20 for cursed skull, there was one very specific instance where cursed skull actually helped me. This was back when I was still a beginner Isaac player and hadn't beaten mum yet. So I happened upon this trinket alongside Scapular, which gives you a free soul heart when you're reduced to half a heart. Which means every time mum kicks me, I lose my soul heart, get teleported out, and get a new soul heart. Making me practically invincible. It is an incredibly nieche scenario, but the item is not completely useless.

My Cursed Skull experience was completely different. I had Gimpy with Cursed Skull once. I kept having a skill issue and the 50/50 chance to get a full soul heart on critical health while holding the skull didn't really save my run that well. I got lucky on the first teleport, but after that, I got teleported out without gaining a soul heart. My run was doomed.

Equality is actually really good if you pull it off with careful planning. When everything matches it will not only make all new drops double, but anything that was a single drop will turn into a double when you re-enter the room. As long as the items are doubled, they won't undo if you mess up the counts or swap/drop the trinket. Generally when my items are equal I leave all drops until the end to pick up.

A library / Restock shop (with how cheap some of the active items are) is such an insane thing with this item just move them all to secret room reroll then free win baybeeee It's like a way worse version of moving box but moving box is already insane for Isaac rigs so a watered down version should still be considered "good" this also has a really cool synergy with glass canon basically removing the down side an giving you a really powerful room clear option.

Plus with Ace of Hearts it lets you black heart bomb your way through like 2 floors if you really wanted to Edit: Ok literally same reasoning you gave to put Mom's Pearl a tier higher except it pays out twice as often with the better heart type _and_ gives you extra keys to boot. What the hell

[@DiamondBono]

Tick is pretty goated, it drains a lot of HP from late game bosses like Beast or Delirium, one of my favorites tbh.

[@cogahan]

The ranking system is weird. Good + Good + Bad = Bad. Why doesn't majority rule?

[@spirto1279]

I don't like rosary bead because the key pieces also buff angel chance while not taking up a trinket slot, while also giving you more chance for eternal hearts. Even if you aren't going for mega satan or playing something like apollyon the key pieces are still really good to have because they're a decent reward with fairly little effort

[@randomgem8087]

friendship necklace is good when you have a bunch of familiar, especially familiars that can block shots

[@yhcgamer523]

Been waiting on this one for what feels like so long now (even though it’s only been a day or two) 10 mins in and I know it’s gonna be a banger

[@Nards_1997]

Dang I love an in depth list. Gonna finish listening to this at work tomorrow lol.

[@KuroPix]

I would bump up Gulped Penny, the usefulness in early shops is very strong, you can recycle a lot of red hearts potentially, by having early coins in the run you boost the chance for arcades to appear which mean even more coins at the expense of red hearts... and all of that is boosted even more in greed mode.

[@gemstone4264]

Haven't watched the video yet but I trust you Matt, 10/10 perfect takes

[@AnotherMattPlayingIsaac]

LMAO thanks for your blind trust :)

[@FadeIn2Obscurity]

Great video because now I know what half the trinkets in the game do

[@AnotherMattPlayingIsaac]

Glad I could help lmao good luck on the other half of trinkets 🙏🏻

[@sir.smartass731]

ive used crow's heart to esentially protect my soul hearts for the next floor after i already kill the boss, and then smuggle it. pretty okay but i wouldnt say its much better than where you put it

[@farofa1407]

I don’t know on how you can say maggys faith is “cool I guess” you can get so much benefits from it that it should probably be in we won imagine getting 1 free health per floor

[@jeremybrezenoff1280]

i think it'd be interesting to see how some of the money based trinkets stack up when playing fiend folio since shops are much more prevalent what with shop chests and store whistle. great video as is though, interesting analysis!

[@takaruku8128]

I think you're underating mysterious candy, it gives you infinite money, red and soul hearts, it essentially is an instant win early and mid, and infinite health late game if you want to min-max the item. Essentially a one trinket game break

[@watchrandomuser395onyoutube]

22:08 this one is insane in greed mode; basically free magic mush for all floors (apart from ultra greedier) 30:14 one item, scapular, otherwise yeah it’s trash

[@IAmKyto]

Wouldn't store credit also work in The Stairway? I haven't actually attempted to try

[@AnotherMattPlayingIsaac]

i'm actually not sure. Actually I'm not sure if it would work if you have pound of flesh either

[@IAmKyto]

Technically the stairway creates a shop under a different item pool so it could work but I could definitely be wrong

[@cassiesamuel8785]

You didn't consider that the ring and wiggle worms are annoying and I hate them

[@MasterGooner26]

Also dingle berry charmes all the enemy dips so its pratically dirty mind but in a trinket

[@WigwamMan]

great quality video, i can only imagine how long it took to make. great video 💙💙

[@kuchnia846]

12:19 bro paper clip is always good, especially in The Chest when from opening chest u have items. Easy S tier, always usefull

[@Pigggles]

Not useful when you have more keys than you'll ever need

[@kuchnia846]

@@Pigggles true, but still usefull when u find reversed the fool

[@adssar]

Not really though? More often than not you will easily have 4+ keys by the time you get to chest.

[@kuchnia846]

@@adssar true, but rng in this game is real and sometimes you litreally can't get a single key 4 floors in the row

[@connorhayes2374]

Equality is decent actually. You can double the pickups for an entire floor (just wait until you full clear to grab pickups so you can keep doubling for the entire floor). It’s good if you save all pickups for last

[@josukerebaixado7557]

33:32 Bro you jumped the number 47

[@AnotherMattPlayingIsaac]

i'll give you $100 if you can tell me what trinket 47 is 💀

[@josukerebaixado7557]

Its the polaroid because he used to be a trinket instead of an item

[@josukerebaixado7557]

I got it right?

[@josukerebaixado7557]

Ps: i used google

[@marrychrismas5993]

Myosotis is underrated, unused red hearts are brought down to use on sac rooms or blood donos.

[@rainyboybbx]

The dedication to sit through this must be immeasurable. Loved the video tho!

[@virven5750]

Actualy Gigante Bean also works on the spread from Contagion making it basiacly a guarantee in a normal room.

[@LukasSpaghetti]

Hey the background music (at least at the beginning I just started watching) is make a move by nelward!! :D that's so cool I didn't expect to hear a song made by nelward in this lol

[@pascual8506]

Swallowed penny should be higher, it's crazy to say "it's whatever", it allows you to buy things you may not be able to otherwise and that can have a huge impact on your power level. Having a strong build will trivialize most of the late game, and this trinket helps with that.

[@aVeryAngryMoth]

I think you really underrated the left hand in the mid to late game, having a chance to get soul hearts and deal teleports instead of pickups is a REALLY good trade off

[@RoxGamingPL4080]

Pay to win - causes restock machines to always spawn in treasure rooms Me with pay to win - "where restock ?"

[@muoli981]

I didn’t even realize how long the video was until about halfway through 😭 very cool video though :))

[@CoolBuster2002]

i honestly dont agree with the cork in the bottom tier, its definitely not a very high item, but i still think its pluses are very good. I will say its probably one of the best trinkets to gulp however since it basically becomes a permanent buff to all creep you create lol. Really underrated trinket imo

[@duckyboy8169]

Not particularly defending push pin but it really can do a bit, if you don’t get any other trinkets it’s not something you should just completely ditch

[@conorjglennon]

Mothers kiss on tainted keepre and normal keeper is really nice, since getting an additional hp container on these characters are hard to come by

[@starmanjr9179]

Yo thanks for this video my dude. Great info and well thought out.

[@victorkao1472]

one thing to note with devil's crown is that you can take both the normal AND blind item in alt path. It's especially useful in the ascent path because the blind devil deals are now revealed, and hopefully by this point you have more hearts to take on those devil deals. It's obviously useful all the way until home if you did take the deals, but you can obviously switch out the trinket if the item rooms are all already transformed.

[@Tacky2713]

oh my what a polished vid. thanks, really appreciate the effort also 1:07:10 minor spelling mistake, skeleton divine death blast

[@AnotherMattPlayingIsaac]

ay appreciate it! Thanks for watchin :) And yeaaa i made so many spelling mistakes while making it lmao

[@tinpot.official]

bro made an entire documentary about trinkets

[@killea1755]

you can get sacrifice room in sheol or cathedral were you can still fight angels for items with filigree feather
