About this game:
We fused card games and roguelikes together to make the best single player deckbuilder we could. Craft a unique deck, encounter bizarre creatures, discover relics of immense power, and Slay the Spire!
NL, you don't have to play ascension mode if you aren't enjoying it.
It's probably like 90% joking
I would say more like 75.0%
Repeating, of course.
Retweet
Be happy lil eggy
He kinda does. There are achievements tied to it.
Wait... he skipped a cleave? 10:50
THE EGGMAN!
Olivier Hughes and at 5:20
as he lost the run, he'll be back to cleave meta in no time
And said “we have no AOE” I don’t even know what to say now.
and a 22$ one at the first shop
I've said this a million times but you can bash lagavulin without waking him if he has the 8 block up. Egg apply the vulnerability
I'm mad
The actual mad man has Du-Vu Doll with a Discard Deck, and DIDN'T take Calling Bell?!
You know what else is 1 energy for 10 damage? Twin Strike
id319 has 2 perfected strikes, offered twin strike takes clash. Spends tonnes of health on bloodletting to play clashes 🤔
86 episodes in and he still seems to hate the idea of block
It's so embarrassing though. Much better to face tank until you die on floor three.
When he transformed one of his last three defends in the first run, even my girlfriend cringed. She's only played like four games.
So much so that he didn't even acknowledge or recognise that it was the "strategy" of his deck this episode and what won him the run basically... His deck was focused on discarding for defence and using blur to maintain that block so literally nothing could hit him, then doing whatever damage he could... and at the end he's just like "i don't know what this deck is, it sucks but it's fun"
IamI3rian Have you watched any speed runs of StS? No block Clash decks have worked out so well for me
Yeah mate, that's not what NL was going for.
Redweevil it's wonderful, until thorny bois.
I've learned with Ironclad that you can't disrespect blocks on the higher ascension levels.
Unless you get ungodly lucky with cards, relics, and enemy draw, 'racing' don't work for shit.
That's true on just about any run. Egg routinely DISrespects block, which only amplifies the issue.
#DefendingIsNotEmbarrassing
Regarding the vampire event: You don't get the bites equal to your strikes. You always get five. It's not a great thing either way, just for your future consideration.
Good to know
i did not know that...thanks
It's good if you have 5 strikes. Or blood vial. Or that relic that buffs healing
It's only ever "bad" if you're running perfected strike, and it's pretty easy to argue for it if you only have one anyway. Better to remove it and switch up your strat.
also makes the deck thicker
It's undeniable that he's getting better at the game even though he still misplays and makes questionable deckbuilding choices. Edit: Then he picks sneko eye on a silent with almost all 1 mana cards, plus a handful of zero mana cards.
So what you're saying is that it's deniable..?
I mean it's still undeniable, he has improved even still. That was a terrible choice though and could've cost him the run.
So what you're saying is that because he is continously playing the game, he's slowly learning from his mistakes and performing better on subsequent tries? Incredible discovery, there must be a word for such a phenomenon.
Ghostneedle1 probably a bad day. Just let it slide my dude. A like and a positive comment helps a lot
1:00:00 "we'll never play a 3 energy Neuralize, but we might play a Burn".
Ah cannae wait for Episode 98 to be released yesterday.
Found the scotsman
At least it -weren't- wasn't as bad as -yer- your typical Scottish Tweet.
You made the same joke tomorrow in your username.
Grey slimes always debuff for frail, and green ones always debuff for weak.
HE DID IT. MY BOI SKIPPED A CLEAVE. THE MAD MAN!
4:10 Egg, you can bash him and not wake him. It only wakes when you do hp damage.
5:30 _"I think it's a fools errand to try to block through the lagavulin."_
You had two more turns of attacks to do just 28 damage. No excuses for wasting hp please.
39:00 New tactic for you Egg: try reading.
59:59 _"Never going to play a 3 energy neutralise."_
But you're going to play a burn?
Did he just skip a cleave?!?!?! :O Who is this and what have you done with egg daddy!?
Episode 86: Still doesn't know what the slimes do
NLs brain melting 3 seconds into floor 3 and still winning was great. That Accuracy pickup had me dead.
The lagavulun dosent wake up until he takes health damage so you can play bash on him pls
Nope,he wakes up after 3 turns
TommyIsHere yes, but he was on his first turn of lagavulin and didn't use bash because he thought it would wake up when it wouldn't have
It's mildly pedantic, but can we all agree that the phrase is 'wouldn't have' instead of 'wouldn't of'
Choobers Mcdougalls We're in the UA-cam comments, everything here is pedantic. Edited for your convenience
wow, speedrun
So this is a top comment no matter the length of the video?
Never change chat.
NL plays decks where he gets hit a lot and loves clash. WHY DOES HE NEVER TAKE BLOOD FOR BLOOD!?
Love the perfected strike pickup but then rarely adding cards with “Strike”
"Don't yawn in my face you tuna breath monster" Is what I say on a daily basis to my little brother.
ofc egg takes snecko eye in a deck with a single 2 cost card......
And the best part of it when he comments about it fitting the deck greatly xD
Bash only does 8 damage, so using just a bash won't wake the lagavulin while it will still apply the vulnerable.
"We've got a lot of love for this hand right now" -NL 2018
HE SKIPPED THE CLEAVE?!!!!!!! WHO ARE YOU AND WHERE HAVE YOU TAKEN THE REAL CLEAVE BOI NL?
Ascension mode requires perfect play, decision making, and deck building, not to mention patience since most runs are actually not winnable since you need really good RNG as well.
Considering NL meets none of those criteria, it's probably for the best to not play it.
People are complaining about ascension mode, or misplays, or congratulating the cleave skip while I'm just sitting here laughing at 46:29
'Don't yawn in my face you tuna-breath monster'
God...so many mistakes...
Not comboing Survivor with Reflex and instead using calculated gamble is the most painful.
Then having Du-Vu Doll but not taking Calling Bell in a deck with a discard focus (allowing you to discard curses).
Then discarding a 3 energy card because it is "too expensive" when he has 2 Burn cards in hand he could discard.
And the final boss fight...Neutralize wasted on an artifact, followed by a poison potion, then blowing his choke on the other enemy who still had the artifact to negate that...jesus.
You missed a few dozen...
The boss fight debacle was painful to witness
He sure plays utterly inefficiently. I am actively trying to not correct him in my mind.
Everyone makes mistakes but i sometimes think he does too many (probably due to playing too fast). Though i canot get behind how he consistently makes coreessential mistakes like playing a vulnerable-making-card last or in the middle...and it happens frequently is the thing
Please Enable 'Fast Mode'
Is that an actualy mode? I just have cheat engine with speedhack at 2x lol
It been a mode for like a week now.
How backlogged are these videos?
Cody Hudson The top right has the date of the most recent beta. So about 2 weeks.
Teo Chok Yong here's a tip: turn the speed up to 1.5 in the youtube player. Not only does it make things move nice and quickly and save time, it's also ridiculously hilarious.
He complains that the enemies hit him for a lot and yet he gets rid of his defense cards...
Needed to thin out the deck, but couldn't get rid of Strikes because of Perfected Strike. Perfected Strike is just bad. Needed to pick up better defensive cards and get rid of strikes and defends.
Must be a speed run
You can play normal mode if you want my dude.
There's no defending Snecko Eye for this run. Your deck was doing so good before you picked it, and only then did you start actually struggling with the plays...
This run is the all in one and it cannot be stopped
Makes an awesome Discard Deck..
"I don't know what makes this deck tick.."
Sneko Eye fits perfectly in a deck where you make your cards cost zero (Bullet Time), a Deck where you have discard cards and ways to discard them (Discard cards don't have cost), and High Cost Decks.
You made a Sneko Discard Deck!
Don't worry Ryan, you're getting the hang of it, you just need to be more awere of sinergies. You're doing most of them by accident!
You already know how most of the cards work. You're getting closer and closer to seeing the sinergies!
Don't give up!
Once you're capable of seeing sinergies, you'll defeat Ascension Mode!
And don't worry, The Silent is harder to see sinergies. He takes more than just one Core Card to create a good sinergy.
Buys clash, completly forgets that it exists next second
Taking Cursed Bell is never the wrong call in a discard deck.
man even 3 years after the fact im still salty about that snecko eye pick up if youd have gotten 3 curses then you would just have gotten even better and you also got the opportunity to remove the curses at the fountain almost immediately after that boss fight too lmfao its all good tho NL im glad u have fun doing this.
NL for the laguavulin or however the hell you spell it, as long as you don't break through it's armor it won't wake. You can bash it first turn, pass turn and could have hit it with your perfected strike with 75% vulnerability
Oh gawd yes! Calculated gamble, tough bandages combo, about time!
Lol and destroys it with snekko eye
I imagine it's pretty demotivating to pretty much exclusively hear "You're shit at this game" in several different ways throughout the course of these episodes. NL, you're learning, and that's what's important. You can be the worst utter garbage at a game but as long as you have the motivation to improve and display that in your episodes, people will watch and enjoy; just look at your Isaac career! Anyways, I'm loving this series, please keep it up despite the... Less than constructive criticism.
to be honest, I don't like sneko eye runs
He needs to start with it and pick up only 3+ cost cards for maximum zane.
You always want to hit Donu first because he buffs strength every other turn and you'll straight up for if you go for him second
36:25 this cracked me up. Top tier commentary
Anyone else have this bug on mobile that the video loads with the you can skip this ad overly on top?
trot34lol If you haven't, see if you can fill out a bug report with your phone model.
Saying this at the beginning of the episode, NL I’m giving you another chance when it comes to slay the spire. Please don’t trigger me
Yeah this was acceptable content, thanks NL
Man I wish they made this into an Android game :l
TheRealTorkuda since this game has such minimal controls it’s kinda perfect for mobile
The devs said that they will work on a mobile and a Switch port when the game actually releases.
Nice. Hopefully it doesn't take too incredibly long. I would definitely get a mobile version if they released one.
I thought Snecko Eye was a bad idea, but credit where credit is due, he had enough card cycle going on to make it work.
must be a seed bun
''Clash is best card in the game''. Thats it I am done.
i like how he always takes it and constantly fails with it and still has that mentality too
It's very good, and consistently used in speedruns. It is definitely a contender.
It's a great card for sure, NL just has no idea why or how to use it.
Chicken embryo is learning! He didn't remove a strike when going for perfected strike! What a time to be alive.
AK4 chicken embryo is probably the apex of egg memes
bump
Ophiuchus ?
AK4 but he still has in his mind that perfected strike is a good card....
Yeah, he just removed or transformed all but two defensive cards, then cried about taking damage.
It's the return of thin-decked daddy!
I baaaarrely feel like I remember leaving this comment.
Does he know that there are 15 ascension levels?
So is NL only going to build clash decks now?
"This deck has no archetype" - NL when he has a discard and snecko eye hybrid deck
*beats the second boss* "This low cost deck is working just fine" *chooses snecko eye*
NL on the gremlin elite fight you should leave shield gremlins alive whenever he spawns them, they never deal damage and if they're alive he can't summon more
Thanks for the company.
12:40 egg doesnt armaments+ the bash to murder hexaghost smh
The lagavulin eagle up until you do unblocked damage. Bash does 8, he has 8 armor. Bash does not wake him up.
I'm such an idiot, I didn't realise till 45 minutes in that you weren't on ascension mode hahaha, I was like "Damn NL is rocking this and I don't know how"
Just so you no with the loguvilun you can deal 8 damage without it waking up so if you have an upgraded bash you can use that and benefit from the vuln
An un upgraded bash
"I don't know what makes this deck tick." ... Means it's probably a utility deck.
What the heck is top end?
NL just means finishers.
I dunno why he makes up obscure terms for simple things, but he does and that's what he means.
I don't remember specifically where he said it here but I'd expect that he's referring to something like a mana curve, where top end cards are the most expensive ones like bludgeon. I think really he'd just mean anything that costs more than one energy in this game.
46:29 "dont yawn on my face ur tuna-breath monster"
5:26 Probably more obvious in hindsight, but Cleave is actually good for his deck.
You have a lot of visual artifacts on these videos NL, did you look into it?
It's an OBS bug, and relatively well known for that matter.
*has 2 burns in hand*
*discards neutralize instead*
i keep wondering; does anyone understand what NL means by "top end"
28:30 Wtf is this turn?
accuracy. accuracy. not burst. you took accuracy.
I dont want to see snecko-eye anymore.
I just dont want NL to suffer anymore.
"We still have a thin deck"
23 cards
We have a very thin deck 25cards and takes a card after every combat
Wow this run is
T H I C C
1.) Thats not how vampires work... and 2.) Discard a neutralize and keep 2 burns? Really? 3.) Play terror AFTER playing all the cards on your turn? I'm having after image flash backs...
cLaSh Is ThE bEsT cArD iN tHe GaMe
NL plz... ENTRENCH is the best card in game, which other card could give u 499 block? allowing you to do a 999 dmg body slam?
Defending is so embarrassing though.
Brick Studios personally I take offering literally everytime I see it because an upgraded one basically gives you 2 turns in one
"Tuna breathed monster"
The Luanginin or however the fuck that creature is spelled only awakes if you deal damage through the armor so you could have bashed the first turn.
when nl plays blur but doesnt play a free block
I found this to be an in-Spire-ing episode NL
Another clash deck?
797 dmg on my last Silent run. That's by far my personal best.
86 those patties Krabs.
I dont feel like the issue is that the Silent is too weak. I feel like the Ironclad is too simple and powerful.
Daniel Sisneros The silent is definitely a simpler playstyle
...?
I think the Silent just isn't that fun in general. To me she's like Blue Baby. Starts underpowered and needs a good run to win
I'm actually mad
These aren't appearing for me anywhere, not even notifications nor in NL's channel...
It's been like this for 3 days now...
Ash Ketchum you need to watch it from a computer, mobile is a bit messed up with the display.
What?
I only watch these on my PC.
tf r u talking about?
Works fine on mobile. I only watch from PS4 or chromecast. This is inaccurate information. Clearly, since I'm typing this on my phone.
Well sorry to bother your higness, I was merely sharing my experience of a similar problem. ;)
I live to serve.
cruel mistress
1:20 ? Must be a speedrun!
Tinted a rock missed
Egg, have you considered that maybe you don't know how to play the silent?
I'm just sayin', might not be the game my dude.
“Neutralize is our most valuable card right now”
Draws a 3 mana neutralize. LionNice
*MUST BE A SPEED RUN*
Holy jesus, it hurts so much everytime he takes an unplayable card
You're getting annoyed with Ascension Mode? Egg, your misplays literally hurt my soul. Don't blame the game for that.
SamuraiFoochs literally, except, y'know, only figuratively. The opposite. :p
The Glorious Champion of all that is Good and Just Prove it.
The Glorious Champion of all that is Good and Just If a play makes me groan and grab at my hair does that not qualify as pain of the soul? Exactly.
SamuraiFoochs that's what I call sad
Tyler Young I'm also engaging in hyperbole for comedic effect, you know.
Must be a S L O W run
i don't think this was a sneko run
It's not long, it's thicc
Must be a speedrun
Egg, the game is amazing and ascension mode is killer. Try to figure out your mistakes and get better and it will be a lot more fun. Especially crushing that one ascension level where you just can't ever seem to win
