NL is too damn smart. The apotheosis joke at base level is very good where he's just pointing out the exaggeration. Then the meta joke eluded to by apotheosis and the very real simulating post-nut clarity for a different less family-oriented man who prefers some sports game to all this. Kino.
38:32 you dont just need to play vault every time you draw it.... you had full block here and it was max cost. Didnt matter here but its something to keep in mind Also during the stone head fight skipping a turn 2 deva form so you can block 7 damage is criminal, you ended up taking 25 damage that would have been preventable if you had deva form energy
NL, great alpha play. It's one of my most favorite Watcher cards. I know that it's probably DAE, but Frozen Eye is incredible in most cases, but especially with alpha. You know the exact order of your deck so you can think through multiple turns.
type A comment incoming, beware: 30:58 he could've killed with just fire potion due to the Slow effect on the head making it take 10% more damage per card played Spirit Shield + The Bomb = 20% increased damage from attacks so Eruption does at least 10 damage and fire potion makes up the last 20
We're slay the spire comment repliers. Of course we respond to every comment that mentions Snecko Eye to tell people that "umm ackshually every pro player loves snecko eye!"
I definitely wouldn't have taken Sneko Eye with Flurry of Blows. More Miracles more consistently make up the difference with getting an Omega out, I've found.
am i crazy/asc 4 watcher-pilled aka 5 total played watcher run pilled to think that it was kinda mindless for him to pass over empty mind during his soliliquoy at 24:00 about how he's not playing mindlessly? yeah, with snecko eye it's giving decent block, and yeah, it synergizes a bit more by reducing attacks to 0 it something, but at that point playing attacks seemed pretty inconsequential to the deck's success. and while block was sometimes a problem, the far, far greater problem was getting ap+abo combo set up fast and cycling quickly through the detritus. which is precisely what picking up empty mind for the draw would've done (not to mention i'd assume exiting stance would typically be beneficial too) not bashing the choice or anything tho, just seems like an instance of going onto autopilot when there mighta been a slightly superior choice that at least ought to merit a moment's consideration
Swivel could have said 2 mana gain 11 block and have no further text and it would have been the right choice. His damage is being taken care of by the Omega, what he needed was better blocking. And he was already hitting Omega on turn 3 pretty consistently, so he didn't need more draw.
@@JD-wu5pf despite that 2 mana for 11 block on its own seems like it would be pretty not good lol, totally in agreement that assuming omega's up, the only thing he needed was block but that's assuming that omega goes up in a reasonable timeframe, and from what i was seeing his deck didn't really have much in the way of draw to deal with bad draw rng, which would throw that assumption out the window not to mention, extra draw would functionally improve his blocking by some margin as well, as he'd be able to cycle through the pile of attacks to the defense cards he already had so i'm still not convinced that swivel was a straight up autopick in that scenario, but i'm entirely open to changing my mind if there's more points in its favor/against empty mind
@@pretentiousname01He won easily! You're even not criticizing a misplay - which would be annoying enough - you're whining that he didn't use a strategy that might have been lower-risk. Go outside, man.

I mean Beta is 2 and Omega is 3, so he's not wrong and tbh so long as your deck isn't full of 0 cost cards, Snecko is a great pick really.
