Hearthstone Player Tries To Rate Slay The Spire Cards

[@NorthernDruid]

Yeah, it's agressively mid, and it does it's job of being that really well.

[@castrochris94]

I've definitely had some insane small deck runs based around rampage, headbutt, and battle trance

[@schwarzerritter5724]

Rampage is great when you manage to slim down your deck enough to draw it every turn, maybe even twice a turn.

[@crazymanmot]

I disagree, rampage wins 1/3 to about 1/5 of the run mostly by itself, which allows you to skip on other strong early game cards you would not want later but would have needed to take otherwise. This usually means you end up with stronger deck because you were offered a rampage. Card is nuts. Great early because it wins fights, great late because your deck is more optimized because of it. Exact same reason why glass knife is so good.

Tools of the trade is also useful to discard punishment curse/bad cards

[@jacobwansleeben]

Another good aspect of TOTT that no-one mentions is that it's draw-neutral (doesn't increase the number of cards you have in your hand) each turn. It therefore doesn't have anti-synergy with other draw-cards (since there's a handsize limit). This is particularly important for Draw-to-X effects like Expertise.

[@gray007nl]

Yeah but like you shouldn't have actively negative cards in your deck for most of the game, like Decay and Normalcy you cut as soon as you're able and you can also just use one of the silent's billion other discard cards like Survivor, Acrobatics etc.

[@princecuddle]

Another difference between heathstone and slay the spire people.have to remember is that in hearthstone you keep your hand at the end of the turn so a draw 1 discard 1 is much more valuable to cycke for your gg card in hearthstone while in spire you focus on cycling deck to get best dmg per turn while minimizing damage taken with armor.

[@Ivan-ex9do]

The pressure points and the rampage ones were a robbery

[@HaloNeInTheDark27]

why would you play a 1 cost deal 8 when the watcher can play 0 cost deal 200?

[@lire3181]

Nah rampage is shit, completely agree with you

[@JLegendfake]

Frost had said before that if there are more "mark" cards pressure point will be very good. Also rampage is underratted imo. I beieve that it is above average

[@pmangano]

In a vacuum i think pressure points is better than rampage as it bypasses block, scales with copies of itself and you may choose to divide the damage among more targets if you so choose, i believe it would be insane in a silent deck by itself but in a watcher deck it really makes no fucking sense. That said, i also think rampage is really bad and the reasons given here are bullshit as "it scales with strength and vulnerable" would also describe a basic strike, it only gets a pass because ironclad is weak overall and his lack of deckbuilding potential is supplemented by healing every floor.

[@haph2087]

I had a run where Talk to the Hand + Tantrum (+ Fear no evil + Rushdown infinite) was my blocking solution, and Pressure Points was an excellent spiker solution for me. However, even with Wave of the Hand to absolutely demolish enemy artifact, Pressure Points still felt weak as an attack. I think the problem is just that the Watcher's primary draw/energy strategy (rushdown + stance dancing) involves better damage cards, and other methods (study/evaluate + deva/deus/collect) are kinda meh. Scrawl sortof works, but Scrawl + Stance powers + Stance dancing is soooo much better.

[@MegaMeister123]

Judgements I disagree on: Tools of the trade: Good : Extra draw at least 2 turns from now, 0 cost power on upgrade meaning pellets synergy is high, already a very high synergy due to discard cards with the Silent Bad: Draw negative 1 turn, 1 turn draw Neutral, -1 Energy if not upgraded, if run is lucky on removable events it becomes worse I think its still a really good card, just for the fact that the Silent will almost always want to have discard synergy or at least pellets on them. Cards like eviscerate, sneaky strike, Reflex and tactitian as well as kite, tingsha and bandage are all REALLY good with this card because of the innate ability to discard. I think Rarran was done dirty on this one since his explanation was almost flawless. Pressure points: You really robbed him. He gave you every bit of explanation completely right and then ending off with "its leaning towards bad" This is a competition to "good" or "bad" and if he says "leaning bad" then its definitely not falling into the good category. (Also Alpha is worse, your last watcher win with pressure points showed how good it is. Either you take at least one omniscience and more draw +energy with watcher to make up for Alpha OR you take extra pps who are stacking faster than an Alpha will in single target fights and if played smart in AoEs as well) Rampage: Good: Ramp up for Bosses, decent scaling with small decks either by nature of by exhaust Bad: Fucking sucks for elites in A2-4, awful in AoE, NEEDS to attack to scale meaning if you draw this on a bad turn it wont scale at all for a whole rotation Very dependant on deck, if we go by the way you tried to make this consistent of in "will I play this more often than not?" then its still a 50/50. Its a glorified Strike on a character that likes to play aggressively, but has better options available as well as strength scaling most of the time anyway. Either answer is good here Rarran should've won this challenge 8-2

[@michaelmoore2679]

I would say Tools of the Trade would be decent even in other characters’ decks simply for giving you more draw and hand control. The fact that Silent has some good discard synergy is icing on the cake.

[@Ghorda9]

it's not that hard to play omega on turn two or three, the great thing about it is that you don't ever need to attack and just use that energy to draw cards and block, scry even helps you get it sooner rather than later

[@Potatotoro]

I would say the main consideration not brought up in the video is that Silent has a sick turn 1 so this card can make the rest of ur turns slightly better. That said if you draw it literally any other turn it feels garbage because you might be taking 20 and would rather be doing damage/blocking. However you would much rather be picking better rares/more synergistic cards. If it was a card you just got for free without using a card reward it would be much better, but the fact you mostly see it as a boss reward just makes it so much worse

[@Alter292]

I stand with my boy Rarran as well. He was right on all three of those cards and despite pressure points being a meme card, it can get there against bosses. Rampage is a feelsbad card for ironclad. Only good if you got nothing better for the whole first act.

[@JoViljarHaugstulen]

Tools of the trade: Good : Extra draw at least 2 turns from now, 0 cost power on upgrade meaning pellets synergy is high, already a very high synergy due to discard cards with the Silent Bad: Draw negative 1 turn, 1 turn draw Neutral, -1 Energy if not upgraded, if run is lucky on removable events it becomes worse The main issue with tools of the trade is that the Silent has Acrobatics and Backflip which makes Tools of the trade superfluous and not really worth adding to your deck. If you don't get Acrobatics then yes Tools is decent but most of the time you would rather have Acrobatics because of the more immediate effect (and it is usually easier to find or cheaper to buy)

[@Shadross]

I mean to some extent an effect like this has caused issues in the past, with a card like One Day of Peace. Obviously not applicable anymore, but to be fair we don't have any true conversion of this effect. The combination of just being able to safely pass several turns that can't be removed in an environment where it can't be negated is a relevant difference.

Tools of the Trade beats Acrobatics spam for discard synergy. Acrobatics spam is 1 mana per turn for 1 discard each turn while Tools of the Trade is 1 mana per fight for 1 discard each turn. And it is only 1 card in your deck that removes itself so it doesn't block you from getting cards you want to spend your mana on. it is also only 1 card selection instead of several so it has lower opportunity cost. A 1 mana Power is not bloat, especially upgraded to 0 mana! I'd rank it around 30th percentile of The Silent's Rare cards, I'd only call 15-20th percentile bad... If you are calling everything in the 50th percentile bad then sure it is bad.

[@Arnie1000351]

It's fairly complex and the "meta" is largely from people following the top few people's opinions on the game. They play the game at A20 and aim for winstreaks or increase in winrates on certain characters. Their opinions slowly shift over time because they find more consistent strategies and ways to utilise things they didn't before to squeeze out slightly higher winrates.

The only thing that matters in the distinction between Rampage and Pressure Points is that Gremlin Nob and Sentries exist. Rampage works in those fights and Pressure Points doesn't.

I think the problem with rating if a card is good or bad is that you build your deck as you play, and wont always be shown a card you're looking for. Ex:You said thousand cuts was bad because something like eviserate might be better more often, but thousand cuts is a card that can help solve the problem of "how do I do enough damage to kill enemies" and scales well with things silent already wants to do, but you dont need to take it if your deck already has a way to kill the enemies effectively. Once you've added cards that solve "how do I do damage" you dont really want to add more attacks or damage card even if they might be better than cards already in your deck

Signature Move, Swivel, Wreath of Flame + Multi-hit Moves like Ragnarok, etc, because it allows you to deal damage while not playing an attack card. Even with those synergies, the frequency of artifact on enemies makes it often a dead card. So I can't disagree with the rating, but it *does* have synergies

Clash is playable, if you have a zero cost deck and a top. Every card has a place where it's good and a place where it's bad. It depends on your deck and relics.

8:04 Can someone please tell me what is this OST ?

Religiously watching both of these streamers have resulted in me absolutely pogging out of my gourd at this video

A Thousand Cuts being super fun dopamine but a bad card also feels like the complete opposite of Wraith Form, which is really strong but the potential "permanently scaling" downside and lack of flashiness are emotionally extremely off-putting. At least to players like me who love the feel of upgrading that powers give you, it's like a huge anti-power card in feel.

[@Raptor747]

Tools of the Trade is bad? Seriously? It's got a lot of synergy with Silent's card pool, makes Hovering Kite reliably proc at the start of every turn, and provides consistent discard, and helps you cycle through your deck consistently faster. It also upgrades to zero cost. I'll accept that it might be somewhat situational, but "bad" is crazy.

Yeah Jorbs helped a lot of us out. Only reason I can beat A20 is thanks to his help. Really good about explaining his reasoning too.

Claw is really good with Scrape. One of my clears of the heart was with a deck that was mostly tons of 0 cost cards and like 6 Scrapes.

I was really hoping to see Rarran try to analyze Fasting. Maybe next time.

rename this video "I nudge my friend towards thinking that good cards are bad and bad cards are good and then make fun of him for agreeing with me"

[@JakXT]

As someone not great at Slay the Spire, it amuses me to no end that the only Watcher run I’ve managed to complete was just stuffing my deck with nothing but the worst card they have lmao (pressure points)

using the crash twinsanity music caught me offguard but was good to hear again

You have to know when to hold em, you have to know when to fold em, you have to know when to play Hyperbeam.

YES. my favorite rarran content is his guest appearances rating other card games.
