Spell Weakness? Spell Strength! | Monster Train (Episode 16)

[@Saladmints]

Yo NL, you win that final fight if you don't play all those crypt builders. I think you tunnel-vision on holdover without thinking of the potential drawbacks. You have to keep in mind that by playing all 3 of them, you are only allowing yourself to draw 2 new cards. Thus, instead of having 5 chances of getting the win with helical crystals, you only have 2.

[@dankwartmustang531]

he did this also on another run, playing all the holdovers and never getting the card he wanted, we can only hope he realize maybe in next week

[@akakitsu1]

Or by playing them all on the second floor already. Would have been an extra 180 damage, just barely enough to eke out the win.

@1:01:13 Your plan to wait was great, but using your three Holdover spells that you know won't do enough damage and taking up 60% of your draw next turn kept you from drawing sooner the 1 card that guaranteed the win. Great episode though and love the suspense ! Love episodes that're down to the wire. You'll get the win surely

[@TheJacksonFaller]

boss survived with 166 hp, which means if he would have played crypt builder x3 on a boss instead of playing them for nothing, he would have won

[@TheJacksonFaller]

also i think pulley is more damage, you can't move a boss but I'm pretty sure it's gonna apply dazed, and units can attack 3 turns without being hit, so it's extra 90 damage over 60 with crypt builder

[@atacama6948]

More interestingly, in the very last turn he coulda calculated that he didn't have enough damage - in which case the only real play is trying to draw the Helical Crystal with enough energy to play it. He needs to play 3 cards and has 5 mana but needs 2 at the end. So on the Pyre floor: 0 Crypt Builder + 2 Crypt Builder + 1 Vengeful Shard = 2 energy left. We see he draws Helical Crystal after so woulda gotten 45*2*23 + 30 (relic gives 30 damage for consume spells) = 2100 damage [am not a 100% sure on the math though]. But ain't nobody busting the calculator out when they're trying to entertain, especially when there's a chance of getting the math wrong and missing the 'obvious' play.

I just wish there were an option to reject the card after the second time he gives it to you. One time he "upgraded" a base regen with costs 0 and a copy is put into your discard pile. I don't want my hand being overrun by base regens. I've resulted to taking risks with it and start giving him units/spells I really like in the hopes that he makes them that much better instead of just making a terrible unit/spell usable.

[@Galloglaoch]

@@Bwhited2399 IMO it's really better to give him a mid-range card. You're not giving him a card you want to remove from your deck as you're getting it back. So if you have maybe 3 floors worth of tanks and are doing fine you can easily give him 1 of the tanks or if you have enough spell damage options, give him one etc. Most of the times you'll get even better version of a card you already want in your deck. If you struggle you can get it pretty quick back too so it shouldn't be a huge deal. Just don't give him that 1 card that makes or breaks your run :D

*Everyone else:* "If Ryan hadn't played his holdover cards his percentage chance to draw Helical Crystal for the win would have went up!" *Me:* "If Ryan had just played his holdover cards on the boss on the 2nd floor instead of yeeting them he had the damage to kill the boss already!" (boss ended on 166 hp while 3 Crypts do 180) It was literally a 100% win if Ryan hadn't overthought the final play....this was the most painful loss to watch by far

[@inukami8963]

Great episode NL but it hurts to see you lose this one, and it really highlights how holdover is not always good. There was a line to victory on the final boss if you did NOT play the two 2 cost crypt builders at 1:01:35. If you had not played those two crypt builders, then they wouldn't come back to the top of your deck and you would have drawn into the helical crystal for the win. I know this may sound like hindsight is 20-20, but it really isn't because NL even mentioned the only way to win was to draw into helical crystal, therefore you should be trying to MAXIMIZE the number of cards you draw from the deck instead of putting these crypt builders back on top.

[@carefullydisappointed]

Except that helical wasnt the only path. He could have just used the spells on the boss instead of the third floor. Then next turn used them on the boss again and killed. But it happens. With sepll weakness we always focus on doing big dick dmg and end up missing some stuff.

[@pancake7183]

1:02:40 I don't think you would have won, but the steel pulleyclaw on a boss for the 3 daze can be a very strong tool for killing bosses.

[@inukami8963]

There was a way to win though, but it required him to change his play from 1:01:35 to frozen lance, glimmer, crypt builder, energy siphon. Doing this would have allowed him to draw into helical crystal next turn and kill the boss.

[@maccally1]

The boss had 160 HP when it killed his pyre, so the 3 turns of daze would only deal 120 damage, unfortunately just shy. If he hadn't played all of his holdover crypt builders he actually would've drawn the helical crystalis to kill the boss. Such a shame, a really close run!

[@warrobotsazuredragon4791]

I think you draw 5 every turn, but holdover subtract from that. So in turn he only drew 2 additional cards.

[@derpydears2693]

No this line could work on the last turn. If he does the math and realizes that his only way to win is helical crystal, he could play claw, vengeful shard, and his 0 cost crypt builder on the floor that the boss isn’t on to trigger the relic draw and dig for helical crystal well still maintaining the spell weakness on the boss.

@@kmb1800 Yeah me too to be honest. Awoken with massive Thorn and healing synergy is just so damn strong.

Molusk Mage on the floor ABOVE your champ adds a lot of damage with Spell Weakness...

Spell weakness builds are hard to use to kill bosses for the exact problem you were met with. You never know if you'll draw your gas when you need it and once you use the spell weakness, you're essentially done if you couldn't kill the boss in one hit. Great effort though, you came super close and I look forward to more Pog tomorrow!

[@greindes1579]

Nl be careful with holdover cards, you wanted to draw Helical Crystal in the end, but chance of that is much lower when out of 5 drawn cards 3 of them are holdover from last turn

[@Mumbolian]

Keeps duplicating holdover cards hoping to get one of them at 0 cost instead of just duplicating the card that makes other cards 0 cost. >.

Great run. The obsession with holdover bit you in the ass sadly and snatched victory out from under your nose. The holdovers slurping up your card draw denied you your coup-de-grace. Also sleeping on the Siren. Throw some multi-strike on that super easy free rage machine and watch the pog rain down.

NL saying that a spell preserved EACH TIME after it consumed is the optimistic kind of mindset I need for my poggers to overflow.

[@sedifric873]

Apart from synergizing with the other event that gives you blight (Dante's) and the one that makes calcified embers into 0 cost 2 energy 1 draw, the first choice in the blight event (get 3 calcified embers) basically gives you 3 100 damage purge cards, plus it counters the consume seraph (the one you had this run) when it puts blights into your deck. It took me a while to realize, but it's pretty good all things considered.

[@atacama6948]

@1:02:23 Most people are talking about not playing the Holdovers in the second-to-last turn to increase chances for Helical Crystals, but it coulda been won on the last turn as well. On the very last turn he could have calculated that he didn't have enough damage - in which case the only real play is trying to draw the Helical Crystal with enough energy to play it. He needs to play 3 cards and has 5 mana. So on the Pyre floor: 0 Crypt Builder + 2 Crypt Builder + 1 Vengeful Shard = 2 energy left.

[@biri0101]

My guy severely underestimates spreading spores, especially with a thorned hollow it’s such a good spell

[@unusedTV]

Sorry in advance for the backseating - if you already knew this, I'm sorry for wasting your time. 41:45 draft: the spreading spores are a great counter to the final boss. Because they create copies in your discard pile, the consume is desirable. The downside is of course carrying a somewhat dead card until that point. If you can give it reduced cost and doublestack it goes completely out of control, too. No direct synergy with the spell damage is a downside.

[@milesanderson6763]

The thing about the Stygian guard is you really just need 1 good floor to decimate anyone, then can use your spells to clean up anything. Also while there was the last turn mistake in the order of using cards. That only really cost NL because he used Frenzied Swarm at 57:20 for no real reason as he had the energy to play the two vengeful shards. Had he not done that he'd still have had the winning card in his hand.

[@alexxs150697]

holdover makes you draw the card next turn... the crystals were the very next card you would draw... if you didn't play atleast 1 holdover on that previous turn... you would have won!... playing the holdover cards made the chance of drawing crystals lower! btw all the RNG is precalculated, you can confirm this by abusing the game mechanic of quiting to main menu to restart a battle, the draws, random discards, and enemy spawns will be the same.

[@ArabianBomebr]

thats a great trick lol

[@lecram86]

I would have placed the unit that gives you +7 spell dmg on the top floor so when units with max spell weakness come they eat +7 times X where X is the number of spell weakness stacks. Also, purging the train stewards seemed quite important in this run, NL ended placing train stewards instead of the siren or another more useful unit. And, by the way, buffing a unit with a permanent +1/+1 instead of Rage 1 was so much better in NLs build imo. Finally, using the buff on the sweeper might be great but not really. I believe it would have been better to keep buffing the Siren to get the Rage synergy. I would also have had the buff returning each turn to my hand instead of the spell NL picked, in order to buff that unit out of space. He had many dmg spells duplicated, so to have one of them chained at his hand didn't make much of a difference. But I believe that having a 0 cost buff every turn that synergizes makes a huge impact.

[@TundraTurtle98]

NL, I've had really good success with the Stygians doing Frostbite runs. It's better than you think it is. The champion unit on Level III applies like 50 frostbite per hit.

[@williammitchell6254]

21:00 you really should have read the other options one extra spell weakness is really weak in comparison.

[@Bwhited2399]

I don't know. For the support units I would agree, frostbite might be more beneficial, but for bosses it makes sense to go full spell weakness if that's the build you're going with. That being said, I've never won a spell weakness Stygian deck, only Frostbite, so I definitely prefer frostbite.

[@Galloglaoch]

@@Bwhited2399 Spell Weakness Stygian is definately strong but you need the Cylophite adding spell weakness along the champion. The champion alone adding enough spellweakness is problematic. Ideally you'd like to have 2 floors of spell weakness so you can deal your damage on floor 2 and still have floor 3 with the boss having spell weakness on him again to draw the finisher. Not to mention you'd want to multistrike your cylophite, maybe have 2 of them(one for floor 1 and one for the mention idea for floor 2). You can see he got the boss to 160 health with just that. Now imagine if he had what equates to another champion worth of spell weakness. Yeah...

Hey NL a piece of advice. Don't go so hard on holdover. You're hamstringing your future draws, which is what killed you on the boss.

If you're gonna make your deck be large, you really can't afford to be holdovering the same 3 cards every single turn.
