Witness the last few minutes of the video as NL’s state of mind crumbles into a crescendo at 48:08 the moment NL’s mind completely broke The most questionable and hilarious Shellbo
47:16 This is a beautiful moment for teaching newer players the concept of "playing to win vs playing not to lose". Moving Mimik down, and moving Wort up then putting Flamewater on Wort gives NL a 50% chance to at least trade Wort for Tusk and have a fighting chance for the rest of the battle, and even better, a 25% chance (both hits landing on Tusk) for him to just go absolutely crazy and be in an incredibly strong position to win the run. Recalling everyone means you have the illusion of not losing immediately, but you're 100% dead in about 3 turns because you've lost way too much tempo
how does that make any sense. if wort hits snoof first he does to teeth and loses 2 cards for no reason and why risk it. his redraw bell is at 1, so he can play a card for free this turn. just recall and freeze to get free cards and find an answer. he just got unlucky on the draw and didnt find anything good. sometimes the game is just too rng
@@SukiYan2002 What card did he have in his deck that he could have found that would get him out of that situation? The answer is he didn't have one. As long as Tusk is alive, he can't win, and he had no other opportunities to kill Tusk other than getting lucky with Aimless on a Flamewatered Wort. That's what it is to "play to win". It's understanding your win condition (Tusk dies), and knowing how you can achieve it. In less complicated scenarios, achieving your win condition is very straightforward: play cards on enemies and keep your units alive. However, situations like this are what separate the more experienced players from the less experienced ones. Being able to recognize you have no guaranteed way in your deck to win, and that taking the coinflip is the only possible way for your deck to achieve your win condition is an important skill in Wildfrost and honestly a lot of other games with strategic/rng elements.
He traded the Gnome for 4 nuts. Not only that he traded it for 4 nuts, but he even wasted a 5-attack slam on it. A 5-attack slam that could've been an easy x2 combo nonetheless. But then again, I think the Chuckle-Satanists would praise his action - for the Gnome opens up the path of the Chuckle, a draw that is dead 90% of the time.
Nah I'm not joking, this and SAP are the only series I watch and let me tell you I enjoy this a lot more than SAP so if he uploaded this and only this I would be in heaven. Although obviously he shouldn't actually do that even if everyone felt the same just because playing the same exact game with no variety for the rest of his life would be boring on his end.
I dont know if he reads these but if you wanted to buy another charm at 28:26 you can get a 1 gold discount by spam clicking an item until they give in. Its only 1 gold I tried with up to 5 but 1 is the only amount to work.
Honestly it's a super easy mistake to make. The turn order doesn't matter to that level of granularity in any situation *other* than trying to get a combo at the same time as killing the boss
What would you think about customizable difficulty? I know the difficulty is an issue with reviews right now. I’d personally love to turn off the injury system since I don’t really think it adds much besides an artificial layer of difficulty
@@AngelJimenez-cs4yq I was kinda suprised with the whole review thing. Having played a lot of card games I was able to win my first run, but maybe its kind of unintuitive if people haven't played similar games? I feel like the problem might come more from complexity than difficulty, because if you know the mechanics its not too bad. Maybe they should have ramped up the complexity of fights a little slower? Not sure.
28:26 you can actually spam a purchase if you are 1 gold away and it will allow you to get it. It’s a cute and small interaction but I thought it was cool.
This is such a genius game design. Other deckbuilder games let you go beyond what is needed to win with no repercussions. In Wildfrost you have to be just barely good enough to kill the boss, otherwise you exponentially increase your next boss' difficulty.
My favorite part is poison would have been effective against his old squad, and he had some building blocks, but repeatedly told himself it wasn't a poison deck and passed up good stuff
yeah, I was afraid of that card cause I thought "what if it randomly picks your Leader, don't you just die?" turns out you do, in fact, just die. on the other hand, if you put a Recycle Charm on your Leader, you can just choose not to play him and then become literally immortal, sooo...
@@violetstarsign Just crown the soul skulls and a card/unit you want to sacrifice and play them both before your leader on the first turn so its impossible for the skulls to target them, this beats any single enemy so it always counters your final boss.
@napalm777 gotta live long enough to get there, and not all the bosses spawn in on the first turn! I did exactly that and still died cause I ran out of options and had to YOLO a second Soul Skulls and just got unlucky. @@xlifenova Recycle Charm adds "Recycle 1" to a card, meaning it costs you one Junk to play--and it's illegal to play such a card if your hand does not contain any Junk. This lets you just choose not to play your Leader, leading to a guaranteed win... as long as you don't remove all your Junkhammers :D
11:22 the pengu charm seemed stupid at first, but if you'd allow me... It's just a nice to have. You gain attack even after the snow melts off so it's basically saying, "You don't plan on getting snowed, but if you DO get snowed, well BAM, now you have extra attack to use later."
The part you're missing is that you have to consider if it's worth giving the charm to your next boss. You as the player should almost never be snowed, but the enemies should be getting snowed all the time. Pengu Charm just isn't worth equipping most of the time because you're probably not helping your current run at all, at most a tiny bit, but you are hurting your future runs a lot if that charm is now a free bonus on the boss.
As someone who has actually served on a jury, the questions they ask are things like "have you had any experiences in your life that would make you biased in this case" i.e. you can't serve on a DUI case if your parents died in a DUI for instance.
@@jonahchickering4908 yeah mine is like 3 poison 3 damage with smack back and a bunch of teeth units. It’s been though. If you pick one of the gnome leaders you will always have the ink flask in your deck but that’s the only way to guarantee you have any ink.
That was the right play. Pengu Charm has almost no benefit on your own units, but is a huge benefit on boss enemies. It wouldn't have changed that he lost this run, but if he did win it would have made the next boss harder.
@@XCeazyXconsidering he got it for his switch and wanted to play while traveling, it seems either extremely likely he’ll keep playing, or he gets so tilted on the plane that he never plays again
By all of us good-hearted well-minded people avoiding jury duty because it's a tedium on our lives we're allowing only the snarkiest and most pedantic of us to run the legal system and entomb as many people as they possibly can with their bias.
Jury duty (at least in the USA) is just the act of getting summoned to the jury selection process. Getting jury duty does not mean you will serve on a jury. It just means have to report (there are a few exceptions, elderly, felon etc), then that is when they ask you the questions and you either get ruled out or placed on a jury.
i dont have this game so i might have missed something but i wouldve been curious to see the reinforcements because the final boss's first screen seemed very manageable with a shellbo on hero +wort in the top row + poison cards on tusk and maybe a snow stick on dregg since wort doesnt attack if he keeps being triple snowed by snoof probably wouldnt have won but it wouldve made the battle a bit more interesting
Snow doesn't stop Thorns damage, so unfortunately until he killed Tusk, no one one his team could attack except the hero or they would've been one-shot by Thorns
@@newdayatmidnight Wort would be snowed so he never attacks and you bring back tyko, your hero attacks but can take 3. Im not saying its a good stuation to be in after the 5 first turns of poison hammer on tusk, poison barrage, shellbo to live snoof attack on wort+hero and snowstick on dregg + turn 5 card (technically you play a card on turn 5 but i went with just the opening hand so youd be in a slightly better situation than this) it would look something like top row hero: 6 health attacks in 3 turns snoof 12 health attacks in 1 turns wort 3 health attacks in 1 turns but not really tusk 2 health attacks in 5 turns bottom row mimic (just chillin) dregg attacks in 2 turns boss attacks in 3 turns unless i made a mistake this is still doable maybe kind of
I was playing Monster Train literally yesterday when I first saw the dripped out 1950s mobster man made out of candlewax with the sickest fur coat of all time, Monster Train takes the art W imo. Also I want the blacksmith lady to beat me up until I have to eat from a straw.
I'm having the same issue with my smackback plus thorns boss. I feel like the only way to beat him is a cheese with a non attacking hero... a smackback one.
I feel like the only way he could've won the last fight was if he killed Snoof first, so he could target Tusk directly and not recall his units because of the thorns. Instead, he wasted two turns dropping poison on tusk :D
maybe it's just cos I'm a sucker for faux-theist stuff, but Monster Train's aesthetic with this hodge podge band of demons and ghouls riding on a rickety train through a dead world, their dead world, on a one way ride to reignite it or die trying, facing down the overwhelming forces of Heaven is awesome and Wildfrost is great, but I think MT is better personally
Pretty sure he was cooked no matter what but I'm pretty sure recalling the mimik was a mistake, it doesn't go off if he's dragged to the empty bottom row.
If you feed the cow each level does he give you something? It seemed like he kept appearing cuz he kept getting fed. I could be living in imagination land tho.
Ik not related but I just found your channel a week ago and been binging. Just wanted to let you know I follow the NHL closely so there's at least one who cares.
