Hey NL I just hit ascension 20 on all my characters for the first time and I’m proud of myself so I thought I’d share. You’re usually in the top right corner of my screen while I play. Thanks for the inspiration! 😊
10:19 me in 1849 explaining to a humble farmer why he should uproot his family, head west in search of the earth's greatest bounty, and buy the shovel and pan i'm trying to sell him
Just wanna say thanks for getting me back into Slay The Spire, and I started off strong with a KILLER Silent run based on a Gambling Chip starting Relic, Upgraded Blade Dance that I Mirrored via the shop Relic, and 2 Upgraded Finishers that just ended up completely spiraling out of control. I got a random encounter to fight a Floor 1 Boss on the Final Act and defeated it on the first turn.
I do think NL would benefit from seeing pommel strike as a higher upgrade priority. Like he said, he just wants to get the strength ups whipping around, and getting more draw is the best way to do that absolutely pogged up run tho :')
As someone who is also trying to acension 20 ironclad (currently at 10), these runs are super fun to watch to review my own thoughts on cards and compare strats.
Thank you for coming back to ironclad! I started replaying StS when you were doing defect runs, and hit a wall in higher accessions. I just hit A20 coping some of your plays and decision-making!
11:56 When the haunted house listing on Zillow actually was haunted but I don’t care because I got it for 86% of the median property value due to the previous owner’s fear of ghosts.
26:36 I know he won anyways, but why would you not play the perfected strike here? It’s 90 damage for 2 cards played. Genuinely curious if I’m missing something
He could have, but it would be essentially the same as not playing the cards because Time Eater always heals to half its full hp. That's why he was doing the math too
That specific turn if you dont kill, regardless of if time eater is at 1hp left or 239hp,he gets rid of debuffs and heals to 240hp, so playing any cards that turn that doesnt lead to a kill means you potentially scuff yourself in the future by reducing how many cards you can play. Of course NL had velvet choker and the time eaters count would have been at 5. With hindsight, it doesnt matter; since on that turn if he played attacks and then he did the exact same order for the next 2 turns his final whirlwind would have been his 12th card but he still would have won, but you would much rather have a buffer of cards to play than cutting it to the edge and losing.
Like the others said, Time Eater heals back to half health unless you kill him that turn. He still probably should have played it for the Shuriken proc, but there's an argument that 1 strength isn't worth advancing the card count by 3.
we’re slay the spire guys, of course we try to get firsties but fail miserably because there are hundreds of other slay the spire guys trying to do the same thing
I'm not usually a type-A commenter, but saying "We dont have a heavy blade deck" when you have necronomicon and 4 (four) ways of scaling strength is the the type of shit that turns a man type-A
Have been playing through the Ironclad from 1 to 20, am at 13 rn and am for the first time struggling on the 2nd floor. Though NGL I wish I had this man's Spire luck, it's been wild
Paper Frog i recognize your value even if Mr. egg didn't

Him upgrading bash at the start made me shed a tear of joy

Northern lion and velvet choker is like a moth to an electric zapper man
He really didn’t play more than 6 cards often. No offering or such. Pog necronomicon pick up carried.
@GodChaos333 actually he never played more than 6 cards, because he had velvet choker
it gave him the extra energy needed to play his high cost high value cards, and made whirlwind pop extra hard. worked for the deck
That’s gonna have to change when the silent runs start up
yeah but he's been winning with it
19:05 Varys' advice to King Aerys II Targaryen
I think what made the run work was enlightenment motivating you to take 2 cost cards then you getting Necronomicon.

I can never believe how unexcited he is to get a Heavy Blade on a Str deck.
RIP UFO 50 arc, long live Slay the Spire arc
you make this shit look way too easy og
its simple, i see egg in thumbnail, i click
Looking at the thumbnail made me recognize just how close NL is to enlightenment
Choose a colorless card will NEVER give you a rare. It's always 3 uncommon options. Hopefully, NL sses this for future choices.
the necronomicon just sent the deck into overdrive
Your videos inspired me to go back and play this again, made it to ascension 8 today lol. Thanks for getting me back into it
PLEASE DO THE HEART PLEASE!!!
