@CalbLikesBats The relic looks like it's already used because it just immediately applies the Buffer status effect then greys out. The Buffer itself had not yet been used.
I love how this run perfectly shows the both the power and the malicious downside of busted crown. NL was right his deck had almost everything it needed when he picked up the crown. But near the end of the run he was still struggling to use up all his energy. He passed on a single acrobatics but he didnt really see any other card draw enablers. The crown had essentially turned itself into a strict debuff by the end because he wasnt able use up the energy because of the card rewards being worse.
this is one of the coolest synergies i've seen! my misunderstanding of envenom prevented me from ever using something like this. of course everyone in the comments still wants to be a critic despite it being the strongest deck he's had so far!
17:44 I like to imagine that he played dodge and roll to emote on the Collector before he died to poison, like a Dark Souls player spamming the dodge roll as a boss dies.
It was floor 3, not a Shiv deck in sight. Feather > Ink Bottle was debatable but paid off pretty well, Panache over both is mental even if it would've been solid.
I learned that game from you, and i didnt understand the comments about how youre fluking the game but now that my best character is the silent, i finally see it hahahaha
Honest question: has he ever taken the Prismatic Shard and done something interesting with it? I know it's exponential randomness might make it a lesser-valued option, but it can be so fun depending on what options come up.
NL rants more about the irrelevant elegance of a game than a romantic chess players in the 1800s Edit: Holy pogs 1000 score even, I take it back this man is a genius
18:00 This is the rare boss relic selection where skip seems to be potentially correct? You already have 4 energy + mummified hand + a cheap deck + you don't have draw cards or ways to get draw cards since you took busted crown
Might as well take one of the energy relics even if you dont really need the energy. What did he miss ? The potential to upgrade dagger throw? Who cares. Might as well occasionally be able to use 5 mana. Even if all it lets you do is play a strike, this deck turns that into a lot (+1 poison, potential armor with fan, 7dmg per sadistic)
I was thinking the same thing. Even at the end of the run I don't think having five energy really gave him anything, but with how decisive the ending was I guess it doesn't matter.
I havn't found an answer to the question yet: why doesn't NL go to the final act? Doesn't he like it? Is he planning on doing so after winning A20 with every character?
I am not sure if you are familiar with Isaac, but this is like going to Mega Satan or Delirium fight on the Chest. He'd rather not unless it's needed for something, even if he has powerful enough run to breeze through.

I'm not even sure what would have made this run better. Insane card and relic synergies. Very fun.
5 acrobatics
Card draw to make use of the 5 energy + mummified hand he had. Basically every turn in act 3 ended with excess energy
Going for the heart would have made it better
I love that he has his mouse over “Distraction” as he goes off on his pre-boss rant.
he’s so afraid of spikers, it’s amazing
I love that he never hits them early, lets their spikes get completely out of hand and only then thinks about killing them.

That was a nice run. I'll have to consider Sadistic Nature more seriously from now on.
First it was dark embrace disrespect, now it's acrobatics. At least he's consistent.
NL would rather chew his own legs off than playing cards that draw other cards.
I see exactly why NL says people complain no matter what. He creates an awesome win-more deck and it wasn't win-more enough for ya.
What a fantastic run, thanks for the compay
Has he ever taken on Act 4?
back in the day, when mind blast was 0 cost and innate on upgrade.. 😁

Has NL finally figured out that the bosses have different strategies
fossilised type a chatter was unlocked at 13:29
Only NL could have a killer combo and no capability of upgrading, and avoid elites
Who told him he needs to think based on deck elegance rather than case by case against upcoming fights? I just wanna talk.
watching fusion hammer get taken over dripper when feather was the first relic picked up was pretty unpleasant to watch ngl
Envenom makes Perfected Strike look like Apotheosis
your commentary is the best
10:13 you smoke bombed when you have a fosilised helix buffer on
18:00 This is the rare boss relic selection where skip seems to be potentially correct? You already have 4 energy + mummified hand + a cheap deck + you don't have draw cards or ways to get draw cards since you took busted crown
Runic dome is probably much better than busted crown there, but still unnecessary. With a few acrobatics and backflipa it would pop off tho.
hindsight 20/20 but with how good the run is and with feather I think dripper was free
Might as well take one of the energy relics even if you dont really need the energy. What did he miss ? The potential to upgrade dagger throw? Who cares. Might as well occasionally be able to use 5 mana. Even if all it lets you do is play a strike, this deck turns that into a lot (+1 poison, potential armor with fan, 7dmg per sadistic)

he thinks its too hard

13:30 THE THROW, THE MADMAN, WHAT THE F
Great deck
Not even considering a Prismatic Shard on floor 4 is missed content
Not only does he have feather but meat on the bone. And he takes fusion hammer instead of coffee dripper. Egg please. These are a1 play.
Damn this was a strong ass deck. I never get lucky seeing envenom plus sadistic nature in the same run.
13:30 My guy had a buffer, but was like, nah, imma head out 💀
So pegged I can't walk!
Who made the potion you Ask ? My brother in christ, you played the alchemise
Taking fusion hammer over coffee drinker when you have eternal feather is the real sadistic nature of this run
NL never picks Wraith Form, the most busted card and still wins the run. Truly the eggest of the eggs.
Greatest opening ever 24:00
Why does NL like the "discard archetype" so much but disrespect Acrobatics so heavily?
Passing up chromatic prism on like the third encounter act 1 on ascension 8 should be illegal
Fun is illegal now :(
