Ironclad is the only class that I have at A20, so lately I've been playing the other classes to get them all to A20 while occasionally watching BL to scratch the Clad itch. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
I used to be in a very similar boat. I got Clad to A20 before getting past A5 with Silent/Defect, or even playing Watcher haha. I just love his kit and vibe so much :)
@@aBlackMage Similar, I think I was around A10 on most, but I was trying to blitz out the achievements. After 100%ing I took a break and came back to the neglected classes entirely for fun :)
I watched a handful of this guys videos, and then got 8 tough achievements in 3 days. Beat the heart with the silent, had 3 cards total, beat the game with 5 cards or less, channelled 9 plasma in a turn, beat the game with no uncommons or rares, and some other stuff.
One thing I feel never gets talked about is how upgrades that reduce cost of a card are strictly worse than the unupgraded version when you have snecko eye, since you can upgrade mid combat. For example, if you draw a Dark Embrace at 3 cost you can upgrade it to cost 1. If it’s Dark Embrace + at 3 cost you can no longer upgrade it to reduce the cost. Note that this works on any character because of upgrade potion and warped tongs.
I imagine its just not often mentioned cause its a niche interaction and most people wont think to mention it but its absolutely good knowledge to have and can make a difference in a life or death fight
1:06:29 so this is where I am in the video…… so technically the timbo is a 66% chance to fight after this fight right? But watch….. it’s a literal 100%. I haven’t even skipped ahead. It’s ALWAYS one of these two boses and then timbo afterwards. Every single time.
Rolled my eyes to the back of my skull when he said “you’ll have to have something pretty enticing to get me to spend money at this shop and give up the maw bank.”….. like if the dude saw a drop kick he would click on it just so that maw bank stops giving money….. he literally spends money as quickly as he can to stop that relic every single time he gets it.
Just had a run where rampage got me through the guardian fight act 1 and was usefull against the heart. It also was a Power Through / Second Wind Deck. So I'd say it has one singular "functional" niche
rampage is sort of an "army in a can" scaling solution, it offers terrible scaling regardless of what other cards you happen to find/draw. All you need is a little bit of draw/exhaust to draw it several times in ur act 1 boss fight and it can save ur butt from a seed that offered 0 other ways to scale. But yeah taking a rampage after act 1 is usually a meme.
@@Blarg-vj3tk ofc it's not a good card, but my point was, that it has a singular niche in killing guardian, when your deck otherwise wouldn't. And it's passable when you exhaust the majority of your deck.
I know iron clad is theoretically the most simple of the four, but I don’t get him. I have A5 heart kills on every character but him. My favorite is watcher, maybe I’m trying to play him too much like her?
5:59 “Rampage is never an option” hey hey hey what about that ONE rampage run you’ve had recently (on UA-cam)? Poor rampage always getting overlooked ☹️😔😢
I don't think it's great at A20 when you don't want to be behind on a starter deck remove, even considering that the transforms are pseudo-removes. This was one of the pairs of starting options that had a pretty low winrate in BL's 2022 data recap.
@@Implicit_Truth i said ok ish - if other where bad that would look ok ONLY becouse of shop near by wich winrate recap does not take into consideration - adn yeah its extremaly swingy becouse you can literaly can get 3 curses
@@sober667 I think it's a totally fine option but very high variance. If you're going for a 20-win streak like BL those are the sorts of things that have a high enough chance to make a run much harder or unwinnable that it's not worth it. If you transform into two low tier cards with anti-synergy and you get a curse on top of it, you really have a hard run ahead of you.
just keep trying new combinations. Dont be afraid to exhaust powerfull habilities (mostly with clad). And overall dont pick too many cards at the first act
13:23 this is fail If he pick up the key, the next chest is one treasure. If he pick up a matryoshka, the next chest will contain a treasure and a key The treasure chest on the third floor makes the difference.
No, he skipped the matryoshka specifically so he could get curse key from the first boss reward. He is trading a potential benefit in act 3 for a potential benefit in act 1. There is no reason to assume that the relic in the act 2 chest would be worth skipping in the same way the act 1 relic was.
I really wish Musk would just go away and leave business to actual professionals. He seems to be just desperate to cut expenses and put a good face on the problems that result from those cuts.

Ok thanos
"Does this Deck need additional damage?"
Proceeds to kill Transient.

Don't know why but I found you replacing 'liquid memories' with 'liquid memories' hilarious.
Brilliant run this was.
Love a whirlwind build, feels like it plays itself sometimes

38:20 It was at this moment that Goblin Leader knew she fucked up.
I like how this video came out after the video of you showing us a crazy rampage game

Totally dissing on Rampage after the recent run Baalor posted where it was the star of the deck.
Must have suppressed the memory of that traumatic experience.
This run was before the rampage one iirc
Knowing skull activating red skull is too perfect
"I cast fist!"
Lmao, I didn't expect this reference here.

It'd have been overkill, but that double tap w/ necro would have been fun.

A20? Lower ascensions let you get away with less optimal cards like clash.

No idea why he wouldn't take a Heavy Blade+ when he can start every fight at +1 or even +4 strength out of the gate.
nothing says clickbait like the adverb "decisively"
Many options could be disastrous ... almost all common relics provide some help. Neow gifts "Maw Bank" .... hmmmmmmm.
that transient kill was nutty my boooooyyyyy
TRANSient RIGHTS!

RE: Simul-streaming, yeah another youtuber I watch has started streaming to both UA-cam and Twitch now.
Just get in from work and our Lord delivers, perfect.
