OP Deck!

[@Baalorlord]

What card is the MVP of this run? Comment Below!

[@gavinspammed]

Liquid Memories

[@IkEisawesome7]

Toxic egg

[@jamjalopie9286]

Deep breath! Although I actually liked blur

[@rosteri8709]

I really like to see a failed run in between. It gives the audience a special feeling of rethinking of the choices were made and how it leads to failure. Also its quite entertaining, that not every run is a winning run.

[@ibrahimhussain8997]

yeah liked it!

[@LifeIsACurse]

just wanted to write the very same thing, makes it more geniune to see even a galaxy brain like him fail once in a while :D

[@timothyboland1048]

Yeah I was shocked when he chose to go right at that path, and I was like "I GOTTA see how he faces two elites here without dying". Turns out he died.

[@oscarstorm4694]

Indeed, fun to see the winning runs. But we learn so much more from the failed ones.

[@Daryl_Sweet]

Also loved to see the failed run first like others have said. Creates more tension not knowing you're going to win. Lots to learn from failed runs too and they're also entertaining in their own way!

@@milk_bath already subscribed there but easier to digest a curated run or two on this channel

[@marvinsean]

i realise youtube has been rough on swear words in the first 30 seconds so you need to censor it, but thats a lot even for you!

[@WccDyer]

I’m not losing it right? Why was the first run cut?

[@ambermind3233]

was the video retroactively edited? I watched it the hour it came out and saw the failed run but now the failed run seems not to be there

[@lemlem35]

The intro is now missing too, I'm glad I saw your comment or I'd think I had gone crazy

[@jacksons9546]

I’m so glad you said this bc I’m baffled by all the comments about a failed run. What failed run lol. It’s just a normal win (still a cool run)

[@alisonpahlkotter3013]

That's a lot of 2x (silent) cards

[@nixedgaming]

Really enjoyed having the partial failed run at the start. Maybe not in every video but it was nice!

[@IkEisawesome7]

The intro just KEPT GOING LMAO Edit: I'm surprised the losses perform worse in all honesty. How would someone know the run was a loss until the end unless they spoiled it for themselves? I like your solution of slipping a little loss in the beginning!

[@jmoolah3691]

Or because people spoil in the comments

[@IkEisawesome7]

@@jmoolah3691 You can actively just not look at the comments. That is a choice you make. I try to avoid spoilers in my comments because I get people check, but everyone knows the comments will have spoilers

[@rli1618]

That’s an active decision though, and I like reading comments when e.g. an ad is playing, so breaking that part of my flow is not something I want to do. In terms of view count I’m not surprised they do worse, when watching these videos I hope to relax and watch a simple winning Slay the Spire victory with good vibes, and a loss is not that. Hope some losses still get posted because some people clearly want them even if their stats are worse, but personally will probably not watch and stick to simple, relaxing and winning runs.

[@IkEisawesome7]

@@rli1618 How would a loss get less views though. It isn't like "I lost!" is in the beginning. You'd have to watch the video and contribute to the views. And I also think it's odd to critique something that you're actively doing. Spoilers exist in every run

[@rli1618]

@@IkEisawesome7 yeah, I spoil myself for every run and I honestly don’t mind that at all-it’s part of my routine with Baalor’s videos. So changing this routine to *not* reading comments so I don’t get spoiled would be an active decision that I don’t see any point in doing (for me personally, of course). With Baalor’s videos, I’m not looking for tension of whether or not he will succeed, I’m looking to turn my brain off to get ready to sleep. With losses, I would see spoilers in the comments and then as a result find a different run to better turn my brain off in. Obviously don’t think everyone uses Baalor’s videos like this, but that’s my two cents on a potential reason as to why losses do worse (and other people will have other reasons).

[@everlynx9170]

Absolutely adore how you tried putting the lost run in the beginning of the video, in the same video where baalor talks to chat about it - also loved the addition of it, i was thinking even to the last second "ah he always wins what insane trick will he pull off now" and i was so flabbergasted when he actually lost

[@milk_bath]

[@Cesco10]

Ah yes my favorite cards! 2X ██ and 2X [Redacted]

[@richardmillett7449]

I was wondering how he was going to salvage that run only to get to the part where he didn't

[@vindaloo1993]

Probably too late to have this comment seen by anyone, but here's an idea to address the Failed Run video concept (because obviously view count is really important). Suggestion would be to assemble several failed runs into a single video (each run could be edited down for brevity), and then Baalorlord could add post commentary explaining what went wrong and what lessons can be learned here. That would be a video that would be both entertaining and educational!

[@somebrokefella5522]

That's a lot of curse word you're beeping, dude

[@angeloottolini7412]

A suggestion for the videos: I feel like if in the end you show which card you have done with the character and which ones are missing it would be nice, both for those who watch all the videos and so see the progress and for those who see only some of them that could go back and search the run in which you had a double copy of one of their favorite cards

[@aurith01]

caught me off guard with that 1st run! Liked the switch up

[@deshtom]

My favorite part about this deck is that it looks a lot like the first deck I’ve ever won StS with. Poison and thorns carrying me with a million block cards. I love that it’s still a good strategy even after the last patch and at A20.

[@yorusign]

Dad, what if Baalor were to master every card in one video? That would be master bait, son.

[@SwogFrog]

That poor book of stabbing "I'm stabbin with all she's got captain!!"

[@etiennechaplais1764]

Hi baalorlord fans ! Does any of you know if the mastery spreadsheet is public ? I'd love to check his progress once in a while

[@zebfross]

When you took that third elite, I was just thinking that I would 100% die in that scenario, so glad I'm not crazy, ha. It's actually fun to see the failed runs since 90%+ of my own runs are failed.

[@TheFearChannel]

Adding the failed run to the beginning of a successful run I think is the right balance. It puts your play style into perspective. Your KZbin editor will have to deal with the compromise. It's just as informative to see the kinds of risks you take that don't always pan out. Never punished or always punished, amirite.

[@breadbxsket2]

Wow what a start to the video. That loss shocked me, I thought that was going to end up being some miracle forcing those last 2 elites in the first run.

[@SheyD78]

Interesting that this seemed almost a 'standard' poison run. Just a couple of deadlys and a crippling cloud, with block + dex to hold off the enemies. But all the disco pieces fitting together so well to propel it to victory!

[@andrewjoakim3690]

Ageed with a lot of what people said I’d enjoy watching more fails wether it’s entire runs or only a segment of the video like this one

[@jkrycz]

Contrast between starts was really interesting.

[@MrCarlosdiago]

I feel that losing runs are also quite educational. Not sure how he can make them work in KZbin since not all are quick act1 loses

[@Noir915]

i think that maybe overviews or analysis of your own failed runs would be great content, or compilations with various failed runs with some thematic connection

[@smitty215able]

Ya gotta love the act 4 shop membership card

[@sevenayashinedown1283]

Sad the tingsha got passed, I always call it a conscientious objector deck as you can dump all your attacks and just run block and discard.

[@mathers000]

0:03 2x *blank* ops, I wonder what card that was

[@cameronschyuder9034]

Definitely caltrops, you could hear the "k" sound and "ps" at the end and lip motions matched the word

[@mathers000]

*no way*

[@aldohorn1704]

My favourite part of these runs is when we reach act 3 and still haven't seen the cards in the thumbnail.

[@hadleymatt278]

It would be a lot of work but either a montage of loses or just some clips with you voicing over them with hindsight. I think they would be very entertaining to watch in those formats and educational as well.

[@munchlacks2900]

That’s a lot of 2x !

[@LMPL1993]

This was a wonderfully different video!

[@jacobmembrino6203]

Very based of you to leave the L run in there

[@johndthackray]

I'm surprised that losses do worse on youtube, I don't really understand how someone would know that going into the video.

[@Warder05]

It's cool to see the mistakes on YT since it makes A20 actually seem hard.

[@danielsolyarikov7908]

The moment Toxic Egg showed up, I knew Baalor would *BURST* up to Heart with ease. Such a *CALCULATABLE GAMBLE* it was

[@skyarmyjd3]

The audio seems to be messed up here

[@skyarmyjd3]

It works fine on my phone but when i move it to my Xbox it starts a separate audio entirely

[@xXSurvivorXx]

Mod is map marks on github

[@myhr2320]

Seeing failed runs, even parts of them, as an intro to a successful run, could be so interesting...

[@tiagotitostein7720]

Can someone tell me what is this mod he uses to highlight the path?

[@Kekkle-]

nope

[@j.w.-]

Great bait run where it fails at the start, makes you think where the run is going like all others that won but it did nae

[@Holystar12]

42 cards deck is quite hard to manage, Baalord a bit greedy this run.

[@aidenchism8628]

Howdy
