The thing about baalor that I admire the most is how he is able to analyse the situation so quickly and so accurately. I usually snap pick cards or get so overwhelmed with thinking
@NoteCat5406 ай бұрын
He's got the perfect balance to thinking just enough ahead to be accurate and not overthink at the same time. Man he's good

was there a particular part that made you think that?

I made this observation in another one of his vods...he makes plays I never would've considered, and they are quite often much better than what I came up with after analysis. Probably the biggest thing I learned watching him that made me a better player is to not to get too attached to actually playing any particular card - sometimes it is 100% correct to exhaust Bludgeon rather than trying to play it, for instance.

Me, getting early poison cards: "Where's the dang catalyst? Hello? Catalyst?!" Baalor, getting early poison cards: "And I'll take this Catalyst and this Catalyst and this Catalyst and this Catalyst. Another Catalyst? Eh, sure, why not." And remember, he SKIPPED TWO BURSTS!

I mean, you have to remember he only picks the successful runs to upload to KZbin. For every run like this there's a bunch of runs that die to gremlin nob on stage 1
@Baalorlord6 ай бұрын
That's the gist of it really. Baalor plays so much Spire that it would be very unlikely for runs like this not to happen sometimes. He currently has almost 8000 hours of Spire logged on his steam.

Timestamps for when Baalor picks up the cards in the thumbnail (Bouncing Flask and Catalyst x5): Catalyst #1: (28:13) Catalyst #2: (28:43) Catalyst #3: (38:16) Catalyst #4: (49:53) Bouncing Flask: (51:02) Catalyst #5: (1:01:00) What an absolutely ridiculous poison run. Who needs Burst or Nightmare when you've got -four- FIVE Catalysts in your _base_ deck?
