    I strongly disagree on your explanation on Beam cell.
    Artifact does not 'hard counter' beam cell. Beam cell hard counters artifact. You get to peel artifact off of enemies for ZERO mana.
    What DOES artifact counter? Expensive cards like Bash.
    But thank you for giving your reasoning. It helps illuminate to us why you make the decisions you do make. Though in cases like this, I feel you're underrating Beam Cell. He's a good boy that don't ask for much. In fact, he asks for zero mana to apply his vulnerabilities for you. Unlike that swindler Bash, who demands 2 mana.

    • @truthseekercanada
      @truthseekercanada 5 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      Beam cell is a GREAT card. Its a slightly lower damage Bash for ZERO energy. If you are playing any defect deck with a lot of attacks (Claw, Steamline,All for One, Hyperbeam) its absolutely necessary.

    • @staceygreen719
      @staceygreen719 5 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Beam Cell's utility is that it's a good 1-of or 2-of for a deck that wants to occasionally do actual damage with attacks. Now, every Frost orb in the universe has conspired to tell me that's a bad idea on most occasions - Cold Snap, past the first floor, really is just a Frost orb engine - but there are decks where that still has some use.
      Seeing NL sort of underrate Beam Cell, as arguably the most efficient Vulnerable source in the game besides Trip+, based upon a status _literally designed to negate negative status effects_ definitely felt just a few inches past alignment.
      But hey, haha, at least he didn't give Charge Battery and Stack conspicuously low ratings or anything, haha.

      Well the problem with beam cell is not the card, but the other cards. The only cards who deal with artifacts are beam cell and go for eyes. The other two chars have more cards which inflicts status effects, so there it is more consistent. A monster with 2 artifacts is probably killed by the defect before its artifacts are removed.

    Fun fact: if you use recycle on an ‘X’ energy cost card, it gives energy equal to your current unspent energy. Using it this way is basically the same thing as Double Energy, except it exhausts an ‘X’ energy cost card while not exhausting the recycle card. It’s a pretty situational play, but since recycle+ is a fairly guilt-free include in most Defect decks, it’s a useful synergy to be aware of.

      Ok, Barrage can do 0, and doing 18 is unlikely. Ball lightning on the other hand is guaranteed 7 and a channel lightning. The channeling is especially important - this helps to evoke, and synergises with lightning strike (or whatever it’s called) etc. Barrage has a much worse guarantee, the benefit coming from other supporting cards in less reliable situations.

    Hyperbeam is amazing in a plasma deck because plasma is unaffected by Focus, plus you generally have an excess of energy anyway so the cost isn't an issue. The best way to get it rolling is Turbo or Double Energy then Meteor. It also makes Reinforced Body an amazing card for block because you always have leftover energy. My dream deck would be Turbo+, Meteor, Fission+, Reinforced Body, Hyperbeam. Since getting rid of all your starting cards is really unlikely (and you'll be rolling a minimum of 6 energy per turn once you're full on plasma orbs), you probably want FTL, Compile Driver and/or Cold Snap for card draw, Seek+ or Hologram+ for digging, and probably an Equilibrium so it's easier to get Turbo and Meteor in the same hand.
    Playing Meteor when you already have 3 plasma channelled actually _gives_ you 1 energy and deals 24 / 30 damage... it's insane.

    I love the reviews! I have a different playstyle, but I love the ''controversial'' opinions on some of these cards.
    The ''Darkness'' build is the most difficult archetype to pull off reliably due to the lack of a consistent synergy between the cards. IMO, at least one or 2 extra cards would be necessary to make it more viable.

    Some things I'd agree with, some I wouldn't. I will say static discharge has never been tempting to me. I think things that give me lightning when I don't want it is bad. My preference is frost stalling to mitigate as much damage as possible, and then hitting with a massive blizzard. Failing that, charging up a dark orb is pretty nice too.

    Cards he rates low are cards he doesn't take that work in builds he doesn't understand. Oh, and why look at the upgrade of any card you don't take automatically if it fits a favored build?
    That said, I enjoyed this, but it frustrates me that we could have seen him see the light on different cards/builds (e.g. Recycle, energy+draw). Someone who has his ear tell him that when he does the Silent cards, s'okay to go another 20 minutes, look at every upgrade, and discuss synergies he doesn't use.

    Echo Fform is incredibly powerful if you can play your cards fast enough. Not every card allows you to use more energy than you have available. And playing cards fast enough cause all of the cards played fast enough to be Echoed as well.

    I would actually like these rating videos after everytime you beat ascension level 20; and if you used the "out of x" system to describe your likelihood(percentage) of taking the card standalone or in a going archetype.
    Your videos, as in per video, are excellent in quality and quantity. I particularly enjoy you playing this and Isaac because I learn about the the game and discover factoids. When you go on interesting tirades and rants, there's always something new and interesting, even after 5 million episodes of Isaac.
    Excellent podcast, excellent video, good and well all around, and not everyone can do this this well.

    I agree about Blizzard. It was really fun to devastate the 2nd floor boss with a 100+ blizzard. Then my deck fell to pieces on the third floor because my cold snaps took too long to build orb counts up for defense. I'd be covered in the last half of the fight but take a lot of dmg in the first half. You might say to just grab more blocks but you have to choose almost every frost card you see just to make blizzard worthwhile.
