It’s so crazy to think how long NL has been making content. I found NL when rebirth dropped back in 2014. I binged the pub g vids back in middle school when I got mono and was off school until I recovered. I would come home from school and immediately watch the latest NLSS vod. I’m 23 now and I don’t have as much time to watch videos, but I still catch what I can. Thank you for being such an integral part of my childhood and making wonderful content!

59:50 Expunger would've totally killed the Timekeeper on its own with Blasphemy with Pen Nib and Vulnerability it does 27 damage per hit, with Divinity that's 81 and then 5 times for a total of 405 also could've thrown in Tantrum afterwards for another 40 damage.
I’m sure people already mention this but the common cards are so good on the watcher and strikes and defends are so bad that I find it is usually a bad idea to take the option of a curse for a rare card
I've started playing again because of these videos and it's insane how fast he consistently plays. Doesn't feel that fast when you're watching but then I finish a run that felt like an easy win and it still took me an hour and 20 minutes 😮
My advice - Cut through fate is almost always a good pickup. There aren't many decks you wouldn't want one in it's like a better pommel strike. Also I don't know if you saw it but rushdown is potentially the best Watcher card. It's what allows you to go pseudo or actually infinite.

Boy howdy, this is a classic example of a backseater - wrong and weirdly arrogant about being wrong. Sacrificial Dagger / Feed / etc definitely do proc on minions.
