I enter in the video just to see "how can he turns this challange into a victory?". I completely understand the motivation for this title. If he wrote: "How I win Lab without attack", will be pretty like a tutorial. N' this are impossible, the random factor turn to model of "reproduce it to get" unpracticable. So thats why he narrates his choices. When he chose the "Challenge" model title, they are just saying "Yes, I do, but theres no a right way to do this."

@@KirbySaysBweo But they had 3 mechanized mimics. So even if Catastrophe was a 1/1 overwhelm, that would have been enough to give the enemy an 8/4 overwhelm, a 7/4 overwhelm, and a 3/4 overwhelm. That definitely does matter.

[@KirbySaysBweo]

@@jesseflora8843 I was mainly speaking about Catastrophe as a standalone unit, rather than it impacting what other spell cards can do for other units on the board. As a standalone unit, the stats dictate how powerful the overwhelm effect will be, but it's powerful by having high stats plus overwhelm. Mix of both that makes it threatening.

This was fun to watch and must admit i was surprised how well the first run was doing but am glad you got to experince the " fun side " of rng this event brings. Between hero, power and random cards with random boost picks any run has the possiability to fail due to rng due to a blow out hand, a suck hand or just not having gained an answer for a problem that is in the decks. It is a fun mode but the rng can male it fustrating if there are more fun challanges to try then i say it is worth it.
