I finished my ascension climb by basing most of my early card choices off of Baalorlord’s Ironclad card tier list. Screenshot it and give it a reference every now and then. It really helped 😁.
I’m on ascension 10 but I will say that I’ll take the beautiful choice over the optimal one every time. Making optimal choices often produces a “junk deck”
@@milk_bath currently doing that and I can read it fine. Also it’s pretty easy to understand, if words are on top of card it’s not mastered because what else would be written there?
Absolutely incredible job, shows how strong exhaust shenanigans are on clad, and how good you've gotten at evaluating how strong a deck is - didn't even need blue candle! Stellar run
You forgot the coolest part about rogue book.. you control two heroes at the same time. You can swap them with different cards and there are synergies for swapping at times.
Orange pellets will remove the snecko eye debuff, but you're still stuck with your opening hand being random cost. Kind of an underwhelming interaction when I tried it, ha
19:32 Since relics are in order, wouldn't it be better to have that now? The alternative would be for it to show up in the act 2 chest, which is significantly worse.
You would skip an act 2 matryoshka for blue key because it would be hard/unreliable to get full value out of it and taking it means you lose your act 3 relic anyway. It would've been better to get it in the act 2 chest so he could've skipped it, although with hindsight analysis, bottled flame is arguably even better to skip so it worked out.
Clockwork souvenir states "at the start of each combat, gain 1 artifact". Snecko eye states "Start each combat confused". The difference is subtle, but to "start each combat confused" means you were confused already once the combat started. The souvenir gives you artifact "at the start of combat", at which point the confused debuff is already applied, so it can't prevent it. Tbf, not all relic descriptions are completely accurate, so you do have to verify with experience. But it makes sense to me, in any case!
SPOILER ALERT! 1:13:27 Baalorlord makes a huge misplay by not playing a block card first, which would have left him with the perfect amount of health at the end of the fight.
I have never seen a path that has 4 elites. I very rarely even get a path with 3 elites. I almost always only get paths with 1 or 2 elites. Is my game broken?
Bludgeon is my favorite card in the game. It's expensive, it's got a lot of damage, it has no benefits other than a lot of damage. On paper it's a terrible card and shouldn't work in a deck, realistically, I can win with it all the time.
@ Doesn’t matter how Bad I might be, I couldn’t possibly lose any of these runs. I’m a18 with ironclad I believe. Haven’t really pushed on any others yet
I'm sure it's been asked a thousand times before but, what is the name of the mods you use? That one mod that lets you plan out your route seems super helpful. Edit: And can you name them in the description in future videos so you don't get this question again? XD
they're all the way at the very bottom of the description, along with all his other mods. As someone else already said, he's had it in the description for many, many of his videos, and it was even mentioned in this video i believe, yet somehow i feel like he will still be asked this question by newcomers in the future
You've really put together a great show. I tune in for every episode. -KringleTV on twitch. I might start streaming again because it's so much more fun with chat.
Have I gotten past it the heart even once? No. Will I still say “I wouldn’t go with that card.”? Yes. Yes I will.

@@geocaching69that's why you're a10
Never forget every run ever where he took a Meteor Strike way too early to possibly cast it
Based on
"Bludgement Day!" sure caught me off guard!
3:59 actually, yes it is.
I get it :D
as of 9/5/24 at 3:06 pm this has 21 likes, savoring this
Been loving these. Would be a cool appreciated touch if you showed the cards you mastered that run at the end of the TH-cam vids!
Yea would help since you don’t see what cards are mastered on the screen when he’s picking cards….

Such an important skill to master, I wish I was as good at it as BL.
Parallel lines don't meet, Example:
Wild Strike and Baalor
'Oh, I don't know man' .. that face at the prospect of two normalities :D Congrats on the run, well played
Baalord turtleneck? Mans looking great as always!
smash the heart into ground... beef? heart is a cow, Baalor confirmed
Hey didn't catched any of the stream yet but I keep enjoying every videos.
Greetings from France.
3:55 Bash + strike is what, 9+10? That's not 21. Never change Baalor 😂
I’ve heard different solutions in the past
@@natelamping5281 they stoopid
There's an old meme going like "what's 9+10? 21! You stupid"
"violence is okay, I like violence"
balor for shame. what will the children learn, watching you??
Does the children play StS?
"violence is ok, I like violence" -Baalorlord 2023
Baalor really smashed that run even mastering two of the worst curses in the game.
Everyone make sure to Bludgeon those like and sub buttons! 🔨
I was screaming in my head when the third bludgeon appeared, "Don't do it!" The next thing I hear, "Do it." LolI love this channel.
Just discovered Baalorlord like 2 weeks ago and I’m already saying “curses!” when things don’t go my way in STS
Saying "[dualwield] is definitely unwieldy so early in the run" without even a sliver of a smirk. So powerful
You forgot the coolest part about rogue book.. you control two heroes at the same time. You can swap them with different cards and there are synergies for swapping at times.
Oooo, that sounds awesome
@@robinthefool8960 it’s a 10/10 game. I’d check it out.
Just wanted to Say this runs have been My companion the last weeks and i really enjoy the content : D
“Come at me!” Gets bonked to death lmao
Would love to see even just a brief skill of the post run breakdown in these videos, just a clip of the cards and relics.
It’s not hard to remember the cards he has and relics are legit on screen at all times
double normality poggers
Just a normality day at the office for Baalor.
Will I ever get tired of hearing Baalor saying "bonk"? No, no I won't
This seems like the best kind of deck where mastering normality would be possible. Amazing stuff Baalor!
Or maybe a bunch of wraith forms and nightmares and catalyst bouncing flasks with snecko
Orange pellets will remove the snecko eye debuff, but you're still stuck with your opening hand being random cost. Kind of an underwhelming interaction when I tried it, ha
A perfectly normal deck
Why, I build this deck on the daily even!
Wow, this run looks amazing!
32:30 had lethal with headbutt (dual wield), shrug, dual wield (bludgeon) 😭 still well play but it hurt to see that.
19:32 Since relics are in order, wouldn't it be better to have that now? The alternative would be for it to show up in the act 2 chest, which is significantly worse.
He never said it wasn’t good to have now he just said “I think”because those two extra relics could be relics that don’t help him.

I’ve been living the Ironclad stuff lately
The bonkening :p love it
This was a wild ride to experience live
I like that the thumbnail for this one is a dead giveaway that there's an early Snecko Eye
What is that painting behind you?!!!! I can’t stop thinking it looks like a children’s book rikki tiki tembo
Ricky ticking tembo no sa rembo Chari bari boochi pip berry pembo
I thought I was the only one who read that book haha
@@danieldaponte1819 me too!! Hahaha a childhood favorite
When all you have is a hammer....
TIL about Snecko Eye randomization. I thought it randomized every shuffle.
10 years from now you who be playing Slay the Spire. You'll be playing Slay the Spire II
haha vajra & smooth stone. You’ve got a +1 ironclad
Some great masters here!
can someone who had these 2 items explain their interaction, Sneko eye and artifact on round start from the relic
You get sneckoed before the artifact applies, so you can't actually block the confusion with artifact.
Clockwork souvenir states "at the start of each combat, gain 1 artifact". Snecko eye states "Start each combat confused".
The difference is subtle, but to "start each combat confused" means you were confused already once the combat started. The souvenir gives you artifact "at the start of combat", at which point the confused debuff is already applied, so it can't prevent it.
Tbf, not all relic descriptions are completely accurate, so you do have to verify with experience. But it makes sense to me, in any case!
"I like violence!"
--BL, 2023
What is the mod for the "mastering of card"? Sound fun.
Mastery challenge is the mod FYI
9+10 is 21, he had it
Greetings from Germany, since now i watched only your YT-Videos, but i think i will visit you on Twitch soon, too 😎😎
That is so sick super mega bonk deck
Baalorlord could you please do a DLC: Downfall run with the alternate characters!!
Yes please! I'd love to see some more Downfall content
SPOILER ALERT!
1:13:27
Baalorlord makes a huge misplay by not playing a block card first, which would have left him with the perfect amount of health at the end of the fight.
So he IS human 😬
I got 3 Bludgeons from Pandora’s Box and watched my run go *poof* in an instant. Wtf kind of “rng” is that? 😭
I have never seen a path that has 4 elites. I very rarely even get a path with 3 elites. I almost always only get paths with 1 or 2 elites. Is my game broken?
One of the ascension modifiers is elites show up more often. If you are playing on A0 it is very common to see one or two elites
This is bonkers
33:52 y didn't he bonk?
Because he didn't want to put Champ into his "second phase" yet, which starts when Champ gets to 50% or less HP.
Idk why you called this deck crazy, it seemed pretty normal to me :p
Nice❤new content

I refuse to believe all these a20 streamer runs aren't fully seeded into oblivion
They r literally live streamed, ur just bad
@ Doesn’t matter how
Bad I might be, I couldn’t possibly lose any of these runs.
I’m a18 with ironclad I believe. Haven’t really pushed on any others yet
i love griftlands. now i have to check if you have griftlands vids.

It’s in the description of the video right now. The one you’re referring to is Map Marks
They're in the description now and have been for several years.
