I also like Wild Strike, but only because I like Evolve and Fire Breathing.

[@jamiecal11]

On the 2nd run, your fatal flaws were: - when you went to the shop in act 2, you said "we don't need medkit because we don't have status cards" - power through was flooding your deck with them. - in the same shop you missed things like blood letting and the card that gives you strength when losing health from a card. You took runic cube but didn't consider how to use it at all - those 2 cards could've solved all your problems. - you also skipped Evolve a few times. If you're gonna take cards like Power Through and Wild Strike, you have to have some idea of what you'll do with the wounds. It's not sustainable to keep playing Power Through otherwise.
