I feel like a crazy person, poison skull relic plus poison strike card and cut a normal strike to get a nice poison build started felt so obvious to me.
Yes. I think I might have taken Snecko Skull even without the poison stab in the shop I love that relic so much! He then gets offered Envenom and Catalyst 1st floor😢
Hey NL, Well Laid Plans is really good! You can use it to hold a block card til you need it, hold ritual dagger til a double damage turn, etc. Can really help you control your deck. Worth experimenting with in future runs
well laid plans is invisible to him unfortunately and likely always will be. i don't think i've ever seen him take it even upgraded he would rather skip.
even with kunai i would usually pass on infinite blades. i try to avoid calling cards bad but it's one of the few where I legitimately struggle to think of situations where drafting it is better than a skip or other card.
@@GarudaRamudasRumpusRoom Same, 1500 hours in and I have yet to find basically any use case for infinite blades outside of wacky prismatic shard runs with dark embrace feel no pain deadbranch or something
Also... he ended the run on 19 cards too. Did someone kidnap NL? Is he okay? I feel like I'm always facepalming cause he'll wind up with 30 card decks all the time, and the weird thing was that this run was one of the runs you could've gotten away with having 30 cards (his engine powers cards both being inate). Although I suppose it's still benefitial to try to aim for a 19 card deck so I'm glad he's starting to think about if it makes sense to skip card choices more.
I have no clue why NL's using a 1 cost setup to make a 1 cost envenom cost zero THE NEXT TURN. He mentioned the setup would be useful for a power he doesn’t want to play now. BUT HE SPENDS ONE ENERGY FOR THE SETUP THAT HE COULD JUST USE FOR THE 1 COST POWERS 💀. (And it's not even a neutral trade, as it cuts draw from the next turn. Plus, playing either of the 2 powers as the first card is always more optimal)
fr skipping the eviscerate was such a throw in my eyes. You have a 0 cost card that reduces eviscerate cost by 2 and gets you an extra energy for turn, plus 3 envenom procs, plus insane phantasmal damage
Honestly I love that a group chat NL and his friends started in 2008 is still active. That's wholesome asf and it's really awesome when you've got friends you still keep in touch with from formative years.
NL: Sneko skull is a great relic but we're not doing anything with poison. Also NL: I'm going to always take Envenom. NL: After Image is a great card, it's keeping us in this. Also NL: Metallicize is trash. Nobody can understand the man because even he doesn't know what's going on inside his own head.
Honestly this series came along at the perfect time to remind the audience about how great this game is, right before Slay The Spire 2 comes out next year!
Other than the coin, the early relic picks all seemed kind of bad. Skipping Snecko Skull then immediately getting envenom, skipping Wrist Blade when you've already got shives and Backstab.
Imo if you can go infinity on the time keeper, it's worth just playing 12 cards a turn, even if it cuts you off short, just so you're not left playing 1-2 cards a turn
I am begging this man to pick up at least one Footwork. Works in any Silent deck, even if you’re running After imagine. One Footwork+ turns a backflip into a one energy, 2 draw card that keeps the discard engine running while also providing block.
@myspicyclips6402 he didn't add anything that helped him beat the act 3 boss. He just autopiloted on the mistaken belief that removing his basics and upgrading a couple cards prepared him for the late game. It did not. Removing his defends was actively harmful to surviving. He didn't even attempt to face elites that provide a good litmus test for how the deck plays in longer fights.
Be prepared for peak type A chatter. At 23:08 if he played Sneaky Strike then Dagger Spray he would have killed the collector with Envenom without using the intangible potion a turn earlier
Skipping snecko skull on floor 2 as Silent is like skipping Brimstone on floor 2 as Ironclad. It’s crazy. It’s a relic that is supported by so many cards, getting it early makes it so easy to steamroll the run

The man loves envenom, but refuses to take any other poison cards
And refuses to take snecko skull even though it doubles the effectivness of envenom...
And catalyst even though it would speed poison damage through the roof.
Second time now he's passed on catalyst despite it being one of the best silent cards
Imagine if he took snecko skull
Loves envenom but doesn't like noxious fumes
12:54 taking a "pseudo energy relic" and it NOT being nunchucks is the kind of content we are here for, my blood is boiling and im cheesing
literally typed your comment word for word before reading it LMAO
Yeah, that shop was tough to watch
My favorite part was when he later realised that he bought secret technique instead of secret weapon
wouldn't have helped him against time eater, this run was kind of doomed from the start by that since it relies so much on cycling cards like crazy
Especially when he could have afforded BOTH, and also gotten Orange Pellets, if he hadn't bought Secret Technique thinking it was secret weapon.
@@TheRCTAddict yeah that's just the time keeper man. I kinda hate that boss, you just insta loose with all the fun builds.
If you think about it if you just play three cards every turn then an after image is AT LEAST as good as a metallicize and this guy loves metallicize
"play three cards and then an after image" this man knows how nl thinks
