[@definitelynotdolce2565]

The craziest deck I've ever had traded starting relic for boss relic and got plasma. Took reprogram like floor 2 and went to the moon. Was able to use loops for more energy, had a ton of draw, and used hologram to play reprogram about 3 or more times a turn. Ended the heart fight with 5 echo form effects active, 2 loops, and 92 of strength and dex without infinite. Great time

[@anybinobept9892]

Cool

[@AL1CE_]

Reprogram works very different now

[@acrazydutchman8683]

"from the moment I understood the weakness of my focus.... it disgusted me. I craved the strength and dexterity of reprogram. I aspired to the purity of the blessed snecko. Your kind cling to your biased cognition as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude deck you call a build will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the hologram all for one snecko eye combo is infinite."

Reprogram is a pog card when you get it early and can build around it. Defect doesn't have to go orbs all the time, focusless is just another archetype/way to play them.

[@ericzhan3454]

I had a run with Tempest, Thunder Strike, and Reprogram. Since str affected T strike many times, it effectively doubled my damage output while the dexterity allowed me to block and generate energy with charge batteries. That’s right, tempest on 0 effect lightning orbs. Beautiful.

How many times is Frost going to go infinite? Frost: I am the infinite

I've tried so many times to get reprogram to work and this guy does it by accident. Bastard. I love him.

[@loganwolford5242]

Ironically, I just finished a run where i had 5 sweeping beams, 5 charged batteries, and 3 reprograms and everything was upgraded with 5 energy. I felt like a god

[@adamlum4477]

Was able to bare witness to this -abomination- glorious deck on stream. Thank you papa Frost *mmmuah*

FINALLY a reprogram deck. I unironically like because it makes you play the defect in a different manner, kinda cringe that frost at the start was complaining so much about it

I don't think Frost realized he had a winning deck till after he had killed the heart, and even then he was confused lmfao

wtf, reprogram has always been my favourite Defect card and the one I got to asc20 with

Obviously not good generally, but when i can take it early I always take it))

@@birthdayzrock1426 I know how the game works, I just hardly ever look at reprogram long enough to read the name, let alone look at the border.

From what the card does I assumed it was a power in a similar vein to Fasting, like I said the first time.

[@pringlepop-po2ss]

i’ve never used and have always avoided reprogram. now i think imma use it based on this deck

[@jamesmontgomery3818]

I know that negative focus is a big deterrent to going anything orb related. But why not a few coolheaded for draw and barrage to scale off the strength? That just seems like a strong core for a reprogram build. Lots of draw and damage. It's true I'm not the best sts player so maybe I don't see the obvious weakness. To much mana cost to cycle effectively?

[@Sightss_]

I think it's just a weird synergy. Cause to make that really good you have to invest into orb mechanics with both draw and energy, while gaining little. Like more orb slots and wasting the frost orbs. As well as having to actually block to live. I think it could work but it would be pretty bad untill all the pieces are in play if that makes sense.

[@Eipiczumby]

just skip and hope for Skim

[@jamesmontgomery3818]

Awesome run but the constant over reaction about reprogram being bad was pretty annoying. If you get it early it’s insane, the negative doesn’t matter at all when you don’t pick orb cards, and frost said the class doesn’t scale when reprogram is literal scaling and makes EVERY card good in his deck. Even basic strikes and defends. Love frost but this tale is just straight ass
