[@ValVassily]

It seems like NL forgot about the energy he gets from happy flower until he got ice cream, at which point he began wasting his extra energy on blocks that did nothing.

[@user-pf2ic1ph2e]

Sometimes i wonder if NL plays bad on purpose its crazy how often he leaves energy with no rollover and how often he wastes energy with rollover. I mean theres no way some1 could misplay that often right?

[@sonofhades57]

Here's a neat tip for you, NL! There's a counter in the bottom left corner that shows how much energy you have left. You should actually look at it every so often.

[@silvergreylion]

Yeah, there should be a 'NL mod', which puts that counter dead-center on the screen.

[@user-pf2ic1ph2e]

Usually that would be bad advice because its super obvious but in NLs case thats like Grade A advice

[@isaacwellsfit]

『 』 That’s the point.......

[@mateuscaldeira-brantaraujo227]

NL is getting to play the dailies earlier and earlier in hope NL's Misplays having not played it yet and thus not showing in the leaderboard. Don't play us for fools when you say "he's been purged" NL, we know your tricks.

[@PongzeLor]

Mateus Caldeira-Brant Araújo i think he’s actually been purged. Didn’t see him yesterday

[@guywhy9957]

Sneaky sneaky egg...

[@mateuscaldeira-brantaraujo227]

Pongze Lor you can see him around 0:15 of yesterday's video. He's 3rd on the leaderboard, an actual god.

[@arkurianstormblade4109]

Happy Flower is such a bad relic FOR NL since he'll always forget about the energy

[@kecaw]

Whenever he left that 1 point i died a little.

[@SamuraiFoochs]

I literally almost screamed a couple times. Is it that freaking hard to PAY ATTENTION?!

[@KamiYeah]

facepalmed after the 2nd time he did it and now taking a break after 10 minutes of video

[@packwaza8]

Here we are boys, yet again, in the same position of suffering

[@PureStealth]

And icecream is top tier

[@nakkertton]

NL MISPLAY COUNTER! (22 misplays in 51 minutes) 2:23 Should have played defend before strikes or debatably bash + strike to kill back line 2:44 Should have played 3 strikes instead of 2 strikes and a defend since front line wasn't attacking anyway 3:54 Should have played a slime first to gain extra 10% dmg 6:25 Waste of a draw potion 10:33 Ending turn with 1 extra energy and both defends and strikes in hand (Seriously can somebody explain to me why this is such a constant problem with him?) 14:13 Waste of an energy potion since he already has a good 4 energy play in hand 14:23 Using carnage before using strikes for extra 10% dmg 14:31 Using defend unnecessarily rather than saving that energy to next turn 15:42 Played a defend rather than a slime (Also could have just saved the energy for next turn) 17:53 Using armaments before drawing (Could have drawn Carnage which he couldn't have played or nonupgraded card) 19:49 Egg being an egg 24:01 Considering that you were just talking how you should get to a shop and you have 400+ gold and Girya you really should have taken the left path 27:16 Armaments + 2x strike + both potions would have been lethal (debatable) 30:55 Rampage + carnage was lethal as well but it would have increased rampages dmg 32:05 Should have saved dramatic entrance for after boss summons its minions 32:09 Using strength potion after playing few attacks 34:30 Ending turn with 1 energy and a strike in hand 35:56 No need to strike the minion since it's dead at the start of your turn anyway (Hourglass + scales) 38:06 Should have used defend and strike first to guarantee that madness will hit carnage which would have resulted dealing 10% less dmg but free carnage for the rest of the fight (he got lucky) 41:17 Should have used strike which does less dmg before rampage 47:41 Thanks to toxic egg those 2 madnesses would have been upgraded (0 cost) and would have made the deck overall better(debatable) 49:14 Using armaments was the worst play possible. If he was going to use draw potion it should have been done first and even if he didn't use the potion using basic upgraded defense would have given more block 49:52 Only if he used extra 5 seconds to double check if it would be lethal or not....obviously better play would have been carnage Donu and strike Deca (Oh, he didn't realize artifacts ate the slow debuff. That explains why he checked the dmg and still misplayed ) 51:09 scrolling instead of pressing "View my score"

[@zoiuduu]

5:54 they lost the artifact because they didnt became slowed down

[@nakkertton]

+zoiuduu Not really a misplay though. That's just NL being NL

[@zoiuduu]

he has a mid fixed that he has only 3 energy per turn, dont know how he mistake that so much since he can keep track of pen nib wich is way harder

[@user-pf2ic1ph2e]

42:50 he attacked the 1 with 3 turns of weakness instead of the 1 with 1 turn weakness (granted it worked out fine since he drew baah but wasnt guarenteed since they add 1 burn to draw pile) Also sincs to guarenteed to draw all but of 1 of his cardd reaper wouldve gotten the kill and healed for it was strictly better to attack with more hp. Also 49:52 i think the best play would have been strike dony reaper then hope for the 50% chance for rampage with energy refund worst case scenarioa he shrug it and have extra energy to rolliver an a guarenteed ramapge for next turn and have healed.

[@kalokal5812]

Ah, I see. My daily dose of suffering is already online

[@fabianl4249]

The Sentries’ debuffs got purged because of the slow modifier

[@nujumkey]

Fabian L thanks, was wondering

[@fabianl4249]

No problem. I was also confused for a bit when that happened while I was doing the daily.

[@williammitchell6254]

Thanks

[@user-pf2ic1ph2e]

Thanks this was the comment i was looking for.

[@bestari5555]

You don't lose strength if you exhaust a curse with blue candle!

[@Katerpulted]

You should have called yourself Miss Lethal instead Maybe Miss Clicks would be apt 19:50 Or Mister Iousdescisionmakingprocess 30:23 and many many others

[@lucidity9782]

Does NL just not realize he can have more than 3 energy with relics?

[@lincolnnoronha4128]

They really should just give him ice cream every game and call it the "NL relic"

[@user-pf2ic1ph2e]

@@lincolnnoronha4128 there should be an option exclusively for NL where ice cream is an availble starting boon it would be broken in any1 elses case for NL its basically theres a 10% you will benefit from it. otherwise you will remember to use all energy.

[@Daenym]

Usually NL forgets to use energy. So for this daily, he gets Ice Cream. Naturally, he remembers to use all energy on multiple turns by playing unnecessary defends. Sigh.

[@user-pf2ic1ph2e]

This happens 90% of the time he gets ice cream he "conviently" remembers to use all energy even if its not necessary. Otherwise he will always assume he has 3 energy no matter what

[@ii7i7i7]

beautiful misplays NL, good job. That strike in opening hand was a killer.

[@TomZ1272]

WHERE IS NL’S MISPLAYS. I NEED TO SEE HIM TRANSCEND NL’S ACTUAL EFFORTS UNTIL EGG ONE DAY LEARNS TO NOT BE AN EGG-HEAD.

[@bukman66]

He'll never learn...

[@slahtizkatz]

Haven't seen him for many dailies. Probably get banned

[@stevensilveus7456]

"Why does it look like they're beating up a little kid?" *shrugs it off*

[@ModernArtery]

NL the number inside the circle in the lower left of the screen shows your remaining energy. It's a good idea to check your remaining energy before ending your turn. If you have cards left to play, they could help you finish off an enemy or avoid taking damage.

[@InVeRnyak]

Its painfull to watch NL forgetting about happy flower every. single. time.

[@user-pf2ic1ph2e]

Give him some credit he has ice cream he uses all energy from happy flower even if its a waste. Oh wait......

[@deathy1999]

Will NL ever figure out that madness reduces the cost of a card to 0 for THE REST of combat? Find out next time on "Spire beaters".

[@jhilla0184]

NL's Brain: How can we kill this elite..... Hmmm. Let's use a Draw potion and draw three cards, then use the exact cards that were in my hand before we drew the cards, besides the fact that I got to exhaust two dazed cards. "Oh this changes the turn drastically" 6:22

[@Toonfish_]

Pretty sure that was sarcasm.

[@darcysmyth6621]

What a great comment

[@showstoppinlegendKLR]

It's one thing to be forgetful and not notice the energy from the Flower, But I feel it's SO much worse to move your mouse over the 1/3 energy at 10:34 to check your draw pile and still ignore it completely.

[@BlueTJLP]

No way. NL actually called himself MISS PLAYS on the exact same day when I bought the game to be called "NL's Miss Plays" as a pun... Egg, you have beat me. You are one hell of a mind-reader!

[@Gyohdon]

why do i continue to watch these

[@kaja97w34]

I hope NL realizes the strength of a thin deck from this run. But let's be real, next run he'll concoct another 40 card deck of random sadness.

[@hj-wl4jp]

Why is no one talking about the robot voice at 2:06

[@chrisbullseye4395]

When he said "I sound like someone who's dying" I hoped he'd had gone for expiring...

[@zoiuduu]

even his robot voice are a missplay

[@lucasnadamas9317]

Becouse its horrible?

[@PhoenixNL72-DEGA-]

@19:49 ROFLMAO damn NL you made me spray coffee everywhere. XD

[@RadekCarda]

triggered on 10:36

[@ruhruhmero1330]

HES _ACTUALLY_ DONE IT

[@zeemod1556]

This game needs a mode where each hand a navi-like fairy pops up and in bold red Nintendo text says "Don't forget about your *turn order* "

[@beeteljuice]

Thank you for finally singing a bit of Gorillaz. Everytime you say intangible I sing Clint Eastwood

[@Th3NinjaSnowman]

HE NEVER NOTICED THE FIRST ELITE DIDNT HAVE SLOW

[@RematodeRanger]

missplay the spire amiright xdxd

[@mateuscaldeira-brantaraujo227]

19:49 I laughed so hard imaginig NL's face when he missclicked.

[@prayin4wingz980]

I totally did the same thing and busted out laughing 😂

[@Eddierewrwrwerw]

NL for the love of god consider making a block deck, just consider it.

[@PhoenixNL72-DEGA-]

Yeah, I went Barricade/strength on this daily and rolled through the whole thing without any problems. It was OP with the massive amounts of relics this daily let you acquire. So fun :)

[@nikola9564]

He forgot that he has Ice Cream one milisecond after picking it up

[@kyukyusaurusrex7044]

NL forgetting all about that Ice Cream again.

[@PhoenixNL72-DEGA-]

Anyone else always feels like the music in this game could've come straight out of a Harry Potter movie?

[@xion900]

Love the videos NL! Seeing your progress is so satisfying!

[@PongzeLor]

Hey NL. The breathing in voice is really good for an eldritch horror. It’s more of a loud whisper noise though.

[@TheLivingAlien]

I KNEW THAT WAS HIM. I Did the daily the other day and saw Miss Plays in the list and i knew it must have been him

[@MomentsofMuse]

Start looking at your energy BEFORE you end your turn you keep missing things like happy flower

[@UrFriendXD]

NL you play in the first hour the dailies are posted. Of course, your going to get high. Check your scores when it hits 12 hours left or less to see where you actually sit in the dailies.

[@remigarreau870]

Bless you for that sneaky Gorillaz joke

[@sheldonlagrange4587]

NL you can play the slime status cards to exhaust them from your deck.

[@PowerUpCoupleGaming]

2:00 OMG it's his "John Madden" voice. 4 years before the meme.

[@Grzeg_g]

He finally embraced his true form.The misplays.

[@xelasneko]

19:49 this is an exquisite misplay.

[@helldragonfire555]

NORTH..>ERN....LION!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE ICE CREAM what are you doign spending all that ENERGY WHEN YOU DIDNT NEEEEEEEEEEEED TOO!

[@jamma246]

I hope they patch this game to put the energy counter on top of the end turn button. Is freaking ridiculous how much he forgets.

[@taylorraulerson6714]

I watch nl for the smart gameplay said no one ever

[@WaterCat5]

Oh my god. He actually doesn't appreciate defensive cards in any way. Skipping a first floor barricade is basically a sin, especially with two upgraded defends an an upgraded shrug it off. It would be so easy to just play it on an off turn and then get free block. Especially with getting so many relics, he could easily have gotten plated armor or something else that would have made him get mad armor.

[@IndelacioLetsPlay]

#northernionsMisplays have been purged from this world, well lets see in this video if that's true, as he claims to have renamed himself misplays, the prophecy is self fulfilling

[@night4345]

NL has become his own misplays.

[@ArinorMephisto]

Please NL. I know you don't believe in Barricade but it's actually great.

[@maxmach4361]

Juggernaut when 60% of my deck is a block? What a stupid idea. Who would ever do that except those placed on the top of the ladder?

[@dylangoetsch7044]

23:55 you literally hovered above a shop you EGGGGGGGGG

[@TheSlick44y]

Please someone inform him that the blue gear holds an option in the bottom left called fast mode that will speed up the game tremendously.

[@jango20124]

NL still cant check his energy level before clicking end turn

[@user-pf2ic1ph2e]

The only time checks it is if he has ice cream and then completly forgets he has ice cream so wastes his energy on cards with no effect

[@river7493]

19:49 is my favorite

[@ahmedburic9367]

at 10:43 you could play block you had 4/3 energy

[@PongzeLor]

Can someone tell me why you kill donut first? I thought they both did the same thing one after another Oh the donut buffs and the deca shields.

[@jamma246]

It's because they don't do that.

[@oopsididitagain2077]

Honestly, I knew NL was a struggle to watch for some people, but it never really affected me since I don't play the games he plays. But now that I got Slay the Spire... Dear. Fucking. Lord. The only reason why Ice Cream will ever be good for NL is because he keeps god damn forgetting how to count his energy.

[@heykak]

is it really that hard to look at your energy before ending your turn?

[@NinjaOrigami]

Miss Plays should team up with Miss Lethal

[@Bertidope]

stop taking happy flower if you never notice you have extra energy.... pls egg

[@erebusvonmori8050]

RIP NL's Misplays. Press F to pay respects.

[@sactus_the_cactus88]

What does "the courier" actually do?

[@runescapefan0001]

19:45 misplay of the day

[@b1ggi]

10:30 how long will it take for you to look at your energy?

[@b1ggi]

21:40 NL YOU ARE FUCKING BLIND

[@darcysmyth6621]

4:00 e-sports professional

[@AHeckman118]

H I G H W A Y B L I N D N E S S Also NL is crazy if he thinks Bash isn't worth playing 1 more strike.

[@hemilm]

That thin deck daddy C:

[@theordinary1059]

mother of god. look at your goddammned energy egg.

[@runescapefan0001]

13:00 if he played strike then carnage he was dead right?

[@irishlass9706]

You actually caused me to buy this game. Not to prove I can do better, oh contrar, I will stink horribly at it, but you did make it look like fun. I enjoyed this playthru, well done.

[@AlekVen]

There's no card called "Order", Egg.

[@user-pf2ic1ph2e]

Well at least he didnt say he wanted all the dramitic entrances like he did in the previous episode lol.

[@JayOrs]

19:48 HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA why

[@voidblitz]

Every time he makes a bad play, take a shot. See you on the other side.

[@1995baza]

Ice cream and sun flour make me wana click of NL... either forget you have extra energy, or waste your last ome or two on useless block that could jave rolled over the Entergy...

[@christjanlaasik]

Im disliking his Slay the Spire videos until he actually learns to check his energy count, R.I.P Happy Flower

[@0wolfclaw064]

NL please keep an eye on your energy and don't play needless defends, you're missing out on energy from Happy Flower and Ice Cream way too often

[@99orphen]

NL, being completely honest, the one thing that is making it hard to keep watching is the tiny misplays you make because of your lack of attention. ending turns with one energy before you had ice cream, or playing defenses you didn't need to just to spend the final energy point when you actually had ice cream, stuff like that. If you want to take a bit more time to think and make the right plays, split the video in 2 or something. I love the commentary and it's one of the main reasons I follow you for so long, so do your best buddy.

[@lagspike7763]

THIN DECKED-DADDY

[@Kizcake]

NL I think we are over leaving 1 energy at the table. ILU

[@jamma246]

NL, please read what madness does.

[@DanTodd_]

Hey NL how about you see how much energy you have before playing cards

[@flanaganmazda410]

You have Ice Cream.

[@yiannisxenitopoulos1421]

1/3

[@davster1209]

ICE CREAM EGG

[@devonjennings115]

He hurts me sometimes

[@PowerUpCoupleGaming]

19:50 "Bottled Strike" lol

[@LocalizedDownpour]

the misplays

[@santasclaws]

They are really bad in this video. Like, I had to take a break to figure out if I want to finish the rest of the video. My eyes are bleeding, and I'm dead on the inside now.

[@empressstrange8014]

Still waiting to see how you deal with yesterdays lol Similar mods and I probably had a higher score...

[@yaa4796]

Splay the sire

[@GamesTheChannel]

GOOD VIDEO

[@yaa4796]

Too bad I can’t say the same about your videos.

[@WereCreed]

Will NL ever learn to upgrade all strikes and defends? FIND OUT NEVER ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF NL MISPLAYS

[@jamma246]

This is one of the few times where it was perhaps best to remove a card.

[@WereCreed]

jamma246 I agree after finishing the video. This is one of the extremely rare times he could and it not be a shit play. But that doesn't excuse every other time he's done it

[@CatalinCSC]

Isn't Lagavulin a brand of scotch?

[@AngriestDwarF]

CatalinCSC yeah it is

[@jamma246]

It's also a place (where Lagavulin is distilled).

[@Blarneyone]

1 ENERGY

[@zerebusgarago]

I have to say NL is 1/3 at playing this game

[@Pinarmzz]

WHATS IN THE BOX ??

[@jeremykunayak]

GET IN THE BOX

[@dracula5752]

when you gonna play modded classes?

[@PongzeLor]

Any good ones?

[@pdonjax]

MadMage They have those?

[@dracula5752]

i like necromancer

[@Cgreen123]

After he took ice cream and played worthless cards, I didn't scream, but I just about lost it.

[@PongzeLor]

I believe in NL. He’s going to top 10 i just know it.
