HermitCraft S9#17: Decked Out - Phase 4: Deck Building Time

In Phase 4 of Decked Out we focus on getting many more new uncommon cards to fill out our 40 slot deck. We also push the dungeon to see how greedy we can get on runs and what kind of risks we can take running deadly difficulty.

honestly the best part of these episodes are the little interactions between etho and the hermits. unscripted, unfiltered reminders of the collaborative nature of the server (and any server, actually) is always great

[@junoantaresofficial]

I don't mind scripted stuff, but the unscripted candid hang outs and shenanigans are what drew me to this server and kept me here.

[@ThatOneSomethingg]

I love the in-between run clips; they're just such a nice break in tension and enjoyable to see the hermits hang out

[@Just-MK]

i mean i wanna say i could watch etho running decked out for 4 hours straight but those breakes make such a diffrence in attention span and flow of the video. I also like the parts where he goes into his deck and explains his thaught process on why he builds like he builds and why he runs like he runs :D i wish etho would continue slaming out these long videos

[@labadf]

My favorite quote from all Decked Out 2 runs so far: Tango: How do you mind control my ravagers?! Etho: And stay there for the rest of the run, OK?

I watched this live with Tango streaming, and what makes it even better is the ravager actually DOES stay in that room for the rest of the run lol

[@kjackso4893]

appreciation comment for etho's editing choices. everyone knows he could just dump like 8 hours of unedited run footage and people would watch but I'm already noticing that the cuts are such a good balance between minimal interruption and eliminating dead time

[@WoobyMe]

Exactly this. He goes through a lot of effort to add that value by finding the right balance. My first thought when I saw the length, "whoa- the editing time..."

[@TheMattSturgeon]

Was thinking exactly this. Some hermits post fully-uncut runs, some post only highlights, but etho has found a great balance where we still see full runs, with only the dead time cut out (waiting for regen, climbing stairs & ladders, etc)

[@SadMarinersFan]

Plus its not hard to find the unedited runs though Tango's VOD's. You can watch like 50-60% of his runs there.

[@ngabel8956]

I was a bit confused by Nimble Looting, but then the run during 2:10:50 gave a good demonstration. Every time Etho blocks clank (the tip toe sound plays) he gains +2 treasure. This will continue until he runs out of clank block and generates actual clank. With the right deck it can last a very long time. Etho activated Nimble looting on level 3 and it's still active as he escapes the dungeon.

[@Lv3Wizard]

I was thinking since you can have 3 nimble looting if it would stack? Like 3 nimble looting triggered would make it do +6 treasures every clank blocked or not.

[@abcrasshadow9341]

@@Lv3Wizard I highly doubt it since that would mean keeping track of activations and multiple conditions, and the implementation effort of such a conditional card is already high and then you want it to stack (it would be easy when programming, but for Minecraft redstone it is a bit more complicated).

​@Lv3Wizard there is every indication that this is correct.

[@repeater64]

@@abcrasshadow9341 Yeah I reckon that's how the card would work in an ideal world but I agree that it's somewhat unlikely that tango implemented it - but not impossible, he might have found a way to implement it where it wasn't too difficult to make them stack.

A good strategy to optimise your crowns could be to load up on Tactical Approach cards, that way you always enter the dungeon with 4 clank block, which allows you to go faster in the beginning, and also provides better value to cards like Nimble Looting, if they're played earlier (or before other clank block cards).

Last I saw there were 900 DO2 runs total. If you consider that the average run is around 10 minutes now due to the longer hard/deadly runs you're taking 9,000 minutes or 150 hours of DO2 content. Hehe

[@liamengram6326]

DO2 officially has a longer run time than Bleach. Lol

[@Novacification]

A guy like Tango is honestly hugely valuable in a community like this. His effort has allowed for so much interesting content to be made that the other creators didn't have to come up with and plan out. Don't know much about these server communities but if they functioned more like businesses, Tango would definitely be getting offers to buy his next creation or join another server.

[@sinom]

Well and on Friday there's gonna be another thing that will probably give us even more weekly etho content

[@temp1029]

Anyone else see the axolotl nodding yes in the pool when Etho asked if the ravaged was going to get him? 1:31:16 😂

[@judem.2333]

They way the dungeon just gets out of the way and helps Etho is so amazing, "I'm starting to panic, don't worry Etho here is a key" Ravagers are liquid in his presence, the man can get pincered by 2 ravagers and just slip right out. All of these are skills, Etho is truly masterful! it will be a pleasure to watch the 3 hours over the cause of the week.

[@larrylobster4689]

The server reset run was very fun with the race to survive and against the clock. Tango should look into a timed game mode after the winner is announced.

[@TheRealClutch1010]

So happy to see someone finally engineering their deck to bring out maximum value. Common cards will certainly hurt you the deeper you go.

[@nickerzgames]

I love the sibling energy between Etho and Gem

[@lexderp2766]

The moment they’re in the same room it is ON SIGHT hands. 🤜

[@u-iriamu.z6863]

Etho so nice, didn’t want to rip Cleo off even though she just wanted to get rod of her shards lol

[@quintusantell2912]

On the one hand, I know its just a parasocial relationship. Etho doesnt know most of us as individuals, and it can be disarming how personal it is listening to someone for hours. For days. For years. But your content is relaxing and peaceful. Its comedy, and its enjoyable. I think youre awesome, Etho. I choose to listen to these videos when news about the real world overwhelms me.

[@Teooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

The nimble looting was crazy at 1:55:23!

[@Gramaa1322]

Wow I didnt realize that, thanks

[@Curundil]

Really loved this phase’s strategy meeting. The ideas about the 40 slot limit are so simple but also very good points! I cannot express how amazing it is that we have gotten so much Etho content from Tangp’s creation, which is also unbelievably fun to watch! Thanks both Etho and Tango!

[@Lynt_]

With some of those crowns, I would LOVE to see a Lackey run in Phase 5! Etho guiding Tango to his doom with the Wardens in the Mines would be incredible haha

[@user-pw5do6tu7i]

im so happy to see someone buy the more situational cards sprint/second wind/nibble looting. Second wind definetatly saved etho a few berries and like 40s of regen + gave him speed to dodge. Seriously underrated card.

[@Gosuutou]

One big thank you Etho for doing these long episodes. Hope you are having fun with this amazing game. Rusty seems to be in good hands with you, maybe you can adopt him once decked out is over.

[@TrainmasterGT]

Etho, you should purchase a Dungeon Master Lackey with some of your crowns. It would be really fun for a video!!

[@Gramaa1322]

Etho is a logic guy, he dont interested in that 😂

[@TrainmasterGT]

@@Gramaa1322 he does seem to have fun with the runs where Tango is in voice chat with him, I think it would be fun!!

[@jde12]

@@Gramaa1322 The logical play might be to run Dungeon Master Lackey and kill Tango at the start lol

[@Duckguy08]

Or to make him follow silently until the time comes to sacrifice him to a warden on level 3/4

[@ritasonka330]

@@jde12 Eh. For it to be worth it, Tango (with freecam admittedly) + his extra stuff have to provide more value than Etho doing another run on his own (which, importantly, gives him 4 more card options). I'm not confident that's the case, especially since Tango isn't that great at playing Decked Out 2. Honestly, having seen the lackey runs, I think more hermits would buy Lackey if the lackey was Etho (without freecam, maybe even without the extra items)! I think Grian wished out loud that he could buy an Etho lackey at some point in his phase 4 runs, with the hope of getting tutored by the master.

[@LeafyGreenGold]

Loved the in-between interactions with gem just hanging out in the walls and playing nice with cleo

[@ToasterPig2346]

Huge fan of the Hermit interactions, especially Bdubs and Gem, the Etho & Bdubs dynamic always makes me laugh and you & Gem picking on each other is just funny

[@StuffandThings_]

Okay, its official at this point. Etho is ready to steamroll. The Indiana Jones of Hermitcraft strikes again!

[@MrSinister718]

His vids are a masterclass on how to run Decked Out.

[@johonn]

I don't know what is better, the insane runs, or the hilarious banter with the hermits in between! So great, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much! :D

[@LilyShard]

That moment with cleo was so sweet I keep replaying it :')

[@sharkeyjO7]

Loving this! The EATS road throwback from bdubs was awesome

[@DavidSartor0]

When?

[@rynaro88]

What a time to be alive. Back to Back to Back episodes of hours long Etho episodes! Get Your Snacks People!!!!

[@shelbyyang]

2 hours and 45 minutes decked out episode 😭 this is too good. i've been checking etho's page constantly for a new episode and he blessed us with this

[@garagemuso72kd5]

Etho, with all those coins, you should do a lackey run with Tango! That would be HILARIOUS!!!!!! Great episode, great runs! Props to Tango for his hard work and props to you for putting so much DO content up.

[@erikm8373]

If you have so many crowns, it would be funny to just start storing up a ton of Dungeon Lackey runs with Tango. If you start now, you might be able to get enough to bring him along on every single run in a later phase.

[@awkwardone]

So sad that the armidillo won, etho is so right when he said it was the worst option

[@toofort]

I love the combo of Gem, Bdubs, and Etho. Would love to see more content together!

[@flippinoflippino9401]

Hey Etho, when you have bounding strides, you can go from rusty’s area to the amethyst and back up for a quick repair kit

[@BlahCraft1]

1:34:11 I also agree that Nimble Looting is a great card, however it really needs a deck and playstyle tailored to it, for it to truly shine. With no additional clank blocking allowing it to chain, it provides 4 treasure and 1 clank block, which isn't _that_ bad. Getting it to chain for as long as possible requires either massive amounts of clank block, or sneak a lot when you're low on clank block, or some combination of the two. Also, I believe multiple Nimble Lootings played will cause the effect to stack, however I would verify with Tango and not rely on random KZbin comments. Also, make sure to notify Tango that Nimble Looting didn't provide the original +2 treasure or the +1 clank block, there are many of the more complex cards that probably should have had more QA/QC. edit: that said, given that the current meta is to sneak in level 3, you build up a lot of clank block down there, so if a Nimble Looting is drawn before then, it'll generate a ton of treasure on your way out, as done in your last two runs.

[@BlahCraft1]

I love all the little Etho-Gem interactions.

[@WoobyMe]

That first run was absolutely brutal. So much EMOTION!

[@Play13GMR]

Hope to see at least one lackey run next week 😁😁 Tango did such an amazing job this season, DO2 is the best thing ever that happened in Hermitcraft, possibly even the best creation ever done in Survival Minecraft ever!! And seeing Etho run this game with such mastery is just a treat, I could watch this for hours and hours...

[@FemMushroom]

We need an Etho-Tango Dungeon Lackey run.

[@MQZON]

Longest Etho video ever just dropped! Oh snappers!!

[@aire4222]

i can’t express how happy i am about these mega episodes!!!!

[@Hiznogood]

That was some quality entertainment! My heart raced in pace with the dungeon’s heart beat! I know Etho says he get nervous, but man he does keep cool and make very little mistakes.

[@irExron]

Somehow, Etho has befriended the Wardens as well as the Ravagers, there has been TWO points where it was literally 3 blocks away.. How does this man do this??!

[@baseballjustin5]

The Canadians and their trustfullness lol

[@ruler_riley1687]

Oh boy, these videos just keep getting better (longer) lol. Everyone wants to play Decked Out for hours, and watching you play is the next best thing!

[@RustyOldBear]

I've been waiting patiently since last week for phase 4 to come out and finally Etho posts! Thank you Tango for this fantastic game &

[@jkgaming3856]

Phase 4 was actually 2 weeks long since tango was on vacation and the dungeon was shut down for a while. That's why he didn't post last week

[@cheesykatie]

Ohh boy, the way the pulse spikes when I see your mouse start to shake, ha! Secondhand anxiety :D I'm so glad you're having so much fun with this game, it's so fun to watch. That and the hangout time with you and the other hermits (that Bdubs horn during your run though... lol)

[@EternityGray]

16:38 that dodge was insane
