NL's view of the world - "I love my wife and cats. They are better than a basic strike AND they do something else. 4/5"

[@sradac]

Strictly better strike

[@nickxenix]

Jinx Master has debuffed you with 99 Frail 99 Vulnerable -99 Dexterity.

"Deadly Poison is 1 or 2". And this here is exactly why, NL, it took you half a year to get an A20 victory.

[@penguindrummer252]

"Piercing wail is a 5/5" Thank you for those words.

[@FringedHorizon]

NL: I'm going to put Slay the Spire to rest because I've played it enough. Also NL: Hey everybody this is episode 6,969 of The Binding of Isaac.

[@filipecattoni]

Isaac: *chuckles* I'm in danger

[@FringedHorizon]

@@filipecattoni See, the irony is that if he were to get rid of Isaac now it would be absolute career suicide.

[@themanmrjones]

Oh it’d be far from career suicide. I think we all knew it was coming until the announcement of more isaac content. But honestly i think we all know he’s going to full clear what’s left when the time comes and put it to rest. And it’s time. We’ve loved our boi’s Isaac content for years but we all know the singular banter can come to us on any game at this point.

[@TZerot0]

In all fairness, people don't tear him a new asshole for every Isaac episode though.

[@Cribbo]

Well NL thanks for the ratings. I see your journey may continue, since an article says a 4th character will be in game later on.

[@obnoxiouspedant]

Woah that article was so right dawg

[@reaperzone85]

I've been dying to see a rated Silent card video LET'S GO

[@sikic996]

It speaks volumes about how much he improved since the other two reviews to see him gauge most cards in the context of deck and relics. I'm real proud.

[@sradac]

Except he went too far in that direction, almost every card he underrated because it needs a "supporting cast" or a certain relic or a combo. Thats the entire point of deckbuilding.

[@preettygoood7774]

I once had a deck full of flying knees and outmaneuvers and it was amazing

[@shanadir]

With or without unceasing top?

[@sradac]

Also on or off a20

[@keithbrown2711]

Some of these rating explanations kinda confirm the law of averages lol

[@noskes1]

NL logic: Dagger spray: 8-12 damage to all enemies with no draw backs (and better scale with str): meh, decent on first floor, 1 or 2/5. All out attack: 10-14 and losing one card: i love it, close on 5/5.

[@djmarusik]

Yea but it does have a blue ribbon tho

[@Mantosasto]

Finally! Just got my first win against the Heart with the Silent, with a deck I thought was bound to die in every battle :D

[@ashark8968]

[@mattfioretti9994]

I think the thing you have to think about when evaluating poison cards is that poison isolated doesn't do justice to how much damage the card does. for example poison stab you said is 6 damage plus 3+2+1 (6) poison damage. in a vacuum that is true but if there was already 5 poison on something the poison goes up to 8 and you have now added 8+7+6 poison damage which makes it do an extra 21 damage. this gets exponentially higher as poison gets higher of course. it may not change your evaluation of the card but i think you do a disservice to not factor that into it

[@imsentret]

You know the card isn't getting any more than a 3 when he says "This is a very interesting card."

[@mrsnackbar9383]

Sad to see this series die. The only thing I watch on this channel

[@breadbaskets2772]

Deadly poison is a 1, do we live in the same world?

[@tjj4lab]

I was thinking that, most of my silent victories have had 3-4 Deadly Poisons, it’s one of the very few cards I always take at the first opportunity.

Please I’m begging you egg father play Slay the Spire added characters. It’s fun to see the different mechanics fans come up with. Also it’s always on Asc 0 when you do fan characters

[@MehYam2112]

13:00 Somewhere between toxic criticism and fanboy apologetics is the fair truth, spoken by the man himself.

[@lc9604]

Yo, NL, you should try out a few of the Slay the Spire mods. The Senshi (sailor moon-inspired mod) is pretty highly rated.

[@chuckm1961]

You must play larger decks than I do. I rarely hear you ever discuss deck size, and it is always a factor in the value of any card.

Deadly is 2 and deflect is 4 hmmm. Its already getting interesting.(deflect and slice are not free they are 0 energy but -1 card value)

[@neoman289151]

"Deadly Poison needs a supporting cast" ??? Literally every card in this game does, that's the entire point of deck building.

Rated 1-5 but most of them have their own asterisk

[@onepants6081]

Storm of steel is really underrated

[@TheFuriousBrother]

Yeah, if you can upgrade it and have any discard or shiv synergy it's easily one of the best silent cards! Sadly I only get it on poison runs

[@onepants6081]

I managed to get it in a run with tingsha and shrunken, after that it is just a matter of playing acrobatics, it would have been even more op with ornamental fan since you wouldn't need to worry about defense

[@dicegremlin]

NL rating silent cards- now we can see why he lost so much

[@dicegremlin]

@Dump the Frog not toxic, just not an obsessive fanboy. when egg makes clear mistakes its our job as an audience to give him some advice and criticism. if he does a good job we compliment him and tell him that we're glad that he played well, example the rat fight in Gungeon when he played his own style which was entertaining. When he slams all the eggs at the slay the spire wall with brute force and luck hoping an egg will break the wall can get rather frustrating but we continue watching because we want him to win at the end. and this comment is accurate as there were some cards that could have secured him an earlier victory if he didnt undervalue it because of one poorly made deck. and there are a few cards which he tries to take every run because it gave him a solid deck in a previous run. he even admits it in the video that he didnt analyse as much as he should have until the ending episodes which later resulted in a victory. is this comment harsh? yes. but its backed up by the several hundred episodes of lost A20 runs.

[@TheCha0sL0rdNurgle]

A20 runs with heart fight??

[@osirisx3r0]

Isn't there a new character coming?

[@lostdestroyer8400]

[@Tekkaras]

NL not recognizing that card draw is objectively the most powerful tool in ALL card games is hurting me.

[@meathir4921]

Ehhh, not when you don't keep the cards. You don't want to draw a card you can't play.

[@maebemaebenot]

Yassssssss

[@DemPop]

Yes please daddy

[@nick.c6969]

Must be a meme review.

[@Denislg121]

In my opinion NL is looking at Dagger Throw the wrong way. The single draw you get from playing it isn't really valuable because you would have drawn the exact same card had you not picked up dagger throw to begin with, dagger throw just takes that place in the initial draw in your hand. So at the end of the day as far as I see it it's just 1 energy for 9 damage and a discard.

[@karuosai468]

Hearing this evaluation made me worst at the game. At least it was entertaining.

[@themanmrjones]

karuo sai please elaborate because he really wasn’t gauging the cards too badly. There were a couple bad calls but for the most part it was actually way better than I’d expect from the egg.

[@TZerot0]
