    That very last turn against the trapper was such a rollercoaster of emotions. You figured out that you could win the round by pulling a tooth (amazing play by the way) but then Mapo's own caution caused him to lose . Not because the pronghorn moved but instead because he attacked it with his cautionary bullfrog activating the tail split special and causing the pronghorn to step in front of the great white before he attacked. Mapo I'm in literal tears you were so close! You'll get em' next time! I believe in you!

    That Trapper fight though, "misclicking" into the best possible play, feeling defeated, figuring out the lethal angle, then getting too cautious and blocking it with the Wriggling Tail triggering from the Bullfrog... More twists than a Shyamalan movie. Loving this series

    Oh no! Uses all but one pelt.
    Oh Yes, At least he has the great white.
    Oh no! misclicked a card.
    Oh Yes, it was the best possible card to choose.
    Oh no! still need a point of damage to win.
    Oh Yes, still has the pliers for the one point. EZ win
    Oh no! being too cautious made you attack the pronghorn with the skink ability which blocks the great white.
    Dies. LMAO

    I understand his frustration about the game not asking "are you sure?" more often, but learning from your mistakes is a cornerstone of the roguelike genre, which this game undoubtedly is, so imo it's appropriate.

    • @Potatezone

      It's both a Roguelike and a story game that has death baked in as a mechanic, definitely not a big loss on this one.

    "Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow, and insidious, killer..."
    That last turn against the trapper is typically what makes this game so punishing. You had the correct move figured out, but messed it up by trying to secure the win. Don't worry though, there will be more occasions for silly combos with all the different behaviors some cards (and totems) have. You will feel overwhelmed and make mistakes till the end, just like anyone. As you might have noticed as well, your opponent doesn't quite play by the rules... Don't play fair, break the guy! Go silly! You've made insane progress so far, in roughly 3 hours I wasn't able to go nearly as far as you did...

    I know a lot of the comments can be quite frustrating in these playthroughs, but having watched a lot of people play Inscryption...you're doing great. Everyone is going to miss things or make mistakes when they're still getting the hang of the game. Also, even when you seem frustrated, it's obvious that you're enjoying yourself and not letting it get to you too much...which is really refreshing. And finally Spoilers (for viewers, not Mapo...as I'm a Patron):
    You honestly get through this first part quicker than a lot of the people I've watched.

    Nice progress ! There's a lesson to learn at the end tho : you had a good plan of using the pincers to get 1 free damage, + 4 from the great white, that would have been a win. But by wanted to overdo it on a complex board, you triggered the tail card and made yourself lose. Lesson is, try and calculate what will happen by looking at all the sigils, and stick to the plan :)

    2:25 I actually winced when you passed on a 3-blood card. Since I'm watching the playlist after the fact, I did not forget the triple-blooded squirrels.
    EDIT: I personally would have chosen the card you "misclicked" at the end there.
    I may also have missed that that one card had the "tail", though. Pity you were overly cautious, but I'm sure you'll learn as you go along. I know I'd watched full LPs before finally purchasing this game (because of the official Mod and not because of the story).

    @jakubpuawski3875 Рік тому +2

    hey Mapo, you're doing better and better, impressive stuff! That being said, I have some strategic advice, coming from hundreds hours of playing deckbuilders and thousands in ccgs. I put them below in case you'd consider these spoilers, but I'm not talking about any specific combos, just general ideas on how to approach such games
    - contrary to their name, in deckbuilders you are typically looking to REMOVE as many cards from your deck as possible. Any opportunity to thin out your deck is good, except from the very beginning. Conversly, if your deck is already looking pretty solid, you should be avoiding adding more cards to it that could ruin your combos
    - in card games that have board (like ccgs), making your cards NOT interact with a board is, generally, a bad idea. In some very specific cases such builds can work, but you will usually have much stronger options
    - to round up the genre blend of Inscryption, in rogulikes in general you typically want to look to create something very broken. Dont judge cards and upgrades based on their general quality, but rather a potential for absurdly broken combos. You were actually kinda close in your early run with immortal squirrels, just a bit short on the execution :)

    In my opinion not paying attention and choosing wrong IS a part of this game I dont think reloading should be acceptable for something like 'oh guys I didnt really look at what I was doing so I can reload' the campers said Health and there was a heart symbol I dont think it was confusion more like just auto piloting which should be punished IMO.

    The last trapper fight I watched was from these other UA-camrs who hadn't figured out that the pelts could be used defensively, and they had a bunch of low level cards thst kept getting killed. So they ended going into the second phase with five pelts.
    It's a fantastically executed twist, and it turns the game on its head (pun intended), always to fantastic results. This fight was exhilarating

    Don't underestimate the Oroboros. It's BY FAR the best card in the game. Everytime it dies, whether through combat or by you sacrificing it, it gains 1 power and 1 health. You can build it up to win any game in 1 turn (but it takes a while) also if your character dies, the Oroboros keeps the same stats as before. Unkillable is probably the best sigil to look out for - you can put it on something with zero cost (like a Geck) and it's basically a free squirrel that you can keep reusing and it does damage too. You can take it to the campfire to increase its damage too. Also if you find a ringworm GET IT. Unless its between that and the Oroboros of course. You can feed it to the survivors at the campfire to make them sick, allowing you to keep increasing your creatures with no risk and multiple times at once. Another good sigil is the tri-strike where it attacks the card opposing it but also the spaces adjacent to that as well. Works great with Oroboros or Flying Urayuli build.
