the double ball lightning take when you have hyper beam is crazy work.

[@penguindrummer252]

The myth of a Defect build that isn't orb-driven haunts the minds of many.

[@emeraldralts]

card named reprogram:

[@penguindrummer252]

​​@kenpatchiramasama1076 Less so at A20 and in my experience you're still better off matching your claw/scrape/all for one and so on deck with a helping of frost orbs to cover your defensive needs. Or electrodynamics for AoE, Rainbow for a bit everything the list just goes on. Plasma and dark are enticing too because they get so much field time here as opposed to decks that evoke 10 times a turn. Orbs can be an ancillary strategy but many of the cards that make them just punch so far above their weight and energy cost.

[@Laugical]

I love hearing the stream of consciousness that these vids are bringing. Hearing the egg think through all the plays and decisions is very fun.

[@nyahgust]

watched him publish this one live so you know it's going to be a banger

[@carsonroach-howell6945]

Mummified hand into frozen egg on defect is crazy

[@Sergeantgabe]

My break down on busted crown: If you think that, as your deck stands, you can beat all of next act without improving your deck, busted crown is a good take. If you think you only need 1-3 cards to add to your deck to bring it all together, taking busted crown is debatable. If you need to significantly improve your deck busted crown is not an option. Not only does busted crown make it so you have 1/3 choices for cards, finding rare cards is tied to how many common cards you see. So by taking busted crown you see 1/3 of the cards but you also lower your rare chance as well, so it’s almost a 1/9 reduction to find rare cards.

[@4tan730]

Hyperbeam is really good if you get it early just for how hard you can snowball with it. Wouldn’t have taken the lightning ball though, especially with 1 use of hyperbeam turning it into a strike essentially. Especially not the second one lmao. Also I think you should consider taking go for the eyes more.

[@dutt6222]

Yeah. I also don't know if holding off on casting vs the boss and using your lightning cards and focus potion may have been the winning play vs the first boss. Hard to tell.

[@aidantaylor3324]

​@dutt6222 I did some maths and it looks like using the focus potion and ignore hyperbeam for the boss gets the job done

[@steelgunsuit]

the mummified hand misplays hurt, because he's clearly overthinking it.

Slowing down just enough to recognize when relics and cards together create a game winning synergy. You love to see it. Deserved W. Coulda been sharper on the medkit, but you don't need me to tell you that too :p

[@heftydog]

You had the opportunity for The Orrery on the floor 30 shop, 5 card picks is pretty good that late in the game when your strat was as solidified as it was. Thanks as always for the banter and the gameplay, great stuff!

[@trehairston1840]

Advice NL: if you gonna take hyperbeam maybe don’t take lighting ball, you are anti synergy there you basically just took a strike

[@Crumbos]

NL often it benefits you to load up on floor fights in the first chapter. Taking on floor fights over question marks will provide you with more chances to add cards, increases your card rarity chances.

i'm pretty novice at Slay the Spire but, if he played coolheaded first, he could have played out his whole hand because of mummified hand, no? idk if i'm missing something

[@jaredglasser9591]

@@GlassEyeBaby He would have drawn some cards and that potentially could have doubled the chance of whiffing with mummy hand if they were both non-zero cost cards. But if coolheaded didn't draw then yes you're right.

Indeed.

[@jabronijackpot]

Claw and self control are incompatible. I'm taking reprograms and you can't stop me.

[@elliotreid7401]

You're doing great! The one simple thing I can see to improve is that often with full orbs you channel an orb and then Dualcast, when usually (but not always) you want to Dualcast first so you can get the extra orb filled.
