NL, I would genuinely like to see more Slay the Spire after you beat A20 Defect. This series and the comments have been really fun and really helped my card and event assessments, so I'd love to see what you can do with the other characters now!
We’re slay the spire guys, of course we’re having a blast watching you play and would love to watch you dabble in some other characters again if you were feeling up to it
These slay the spire videos in 2024 were a completely unexpected joy for me cause I never watched too many when the actual series was going on. Well played on beating A20!
I'd like to see him do another Ascension 0-20 run with a different character... just to see him do it again with fresh eyes and a fresh brain... ! that'll probably be the right amount of time for him to get bored of it again :D
4:13 Dan when he gets asked what he expects from the machine that doubles your forkas and deletes your spoonas after he put one forka and one spoona in
The watcher is by far the most powerful when you understand the deck. I hope he plays the watcher too. A tip btw. Changing stances a lot. From calm to wrath. With a mental fortress. Is crazy good. And just don't be afraid to go for lethal in wrath. And probably the best card in the game is Cut through fate. Use it more often. It's a common and yet it's crazy good when upgraded to scry more.
please bless us with more sts! my defect game has never been stronger. I used to go through the old StS playlist over and over to fall asleep to, so this new sts is peak content for me
This ascension speaks to both how much NL has improved, and how sick Slay the Spire is as a game. Every run was completely different and successful in fun and unique ways.
Hey NL I know you've brought it up on steam how going for heart kills may not be a priority for the near future for you, but as someone who also was very averted to it throughout my climb to A20 I can really recommend giving it a few shots. You also mentioned how STS is one of the few "perfect" games, and I would absolutely agree on that, the act 4 enemies in my opinion make for a really fun final challenge that rounds up the game perfectly. Getting the 3 keys usually really doesnt affect runs that much and just going in there and giving it a try can't hurt I think! That being said, thanks for all the new STS content, really looking forward at seeing you reclimb the ascension ladder on some other characters too, cheers!
The egg has done it! He is so much better then the old series. I'm so glad he found the combo of Seek+, turbo+, and Echo form. It's so good. Aggregate can be better. But hey he used what he got.
7:59 POV: you’re suffering from severe dyscalculia, locked inside a math classroom with your now deceased calculus professor, and still need to finish your exit ticket
If you're wondering what to do next, and you feel the Slay the Spire revival has run its course, there is a criminally neglected roguelite deckbuilder called ROGUEBOOK. It's extremely well-designed (and pretty to look at) and it continues to baffle me how unnoticed it went. It really scratches the same itch as StS all while doing its own cool twists. It doesn't dethrone the GOAT but it's superior even to Monster Train, in my opinion.
Hey NL, if you are looking for what to do next, might I suggest checking out Downfall, a semi-official expansion available for free on Steam? The twist is that you can play as one of the end bosses e.g. Collector, Blob, even as a Gremlin mob. Even if you don't stream it, I guarantee it is worth your while, it is really good (btw, I am just a fan, not affiliated with Downfall or StS in any way). Thanks for revisiting StS in any case!
I've been loving the Slay the Spire episodes. I check everyday for new one. I hope you keep playing more, and I'd love to see you try the heart sometime. Haven't managed to beat it myself, but I really think you could do it!!
I was there 3000 years ago watching you play flash isaac all the way through repentance. My friends and I would purposefully not watch your run to watch it together after school haha. But now that I'm older nothing beats a slay the spire run
For a victory lap in the future, I wouldn’t mind seeing ALL the other characters reach ascension 20, especially if you’re in a content drought with games or schedules with the crew. Only a thought, haha. Really great job man!!!
Hey NL, congrats on the A20 win! I think you could have just ego fought the heart on this run and still come out of it with full hp, what a run! It was great seeing how often you were amazed at your own plays throughout the series and being amazed myself
Hey NL not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but if you click the eye symbol next to your cards when you're seeking or something similar it shows you your hand/combat so you don't have to try and peek under or over the deck to help make your decision. Been loving the sts content and hope you continue it in the future :))
Choosing biased there has me puzzled. I was seeing an easy orb focused deck after the orb relic and that sack orb for focus (forgot the names lol) card you got early on. Also Runic Pyramid man!
His ball lightning comment at 2:08 doesn’t make me optimistic for it. Edit* also the popping off for lizard tail in act 1. Okay and the act 1 boss relic convo

The watcher is by far the most powerful when you understand the deck. I hope he plays the watcher too.

These have been the most fun videos on youtube for me recently
Please more Slay the Spire, this was a good watch! All the videos were a good watch!
U remember when he used to play slay the spire?
Awesome run once again, really enjoying these STS videos!
A spire vid that’s longer than an hour? The egg has truly blessed us this day
please bless us with more sts! my defect game has never been stronger. I used to go through the old StS playlist over and over to fall asleep to, so this new sts is peak content for me
thanks for this run NL, introduced me to StS and the series was extremely fun to watch, more please!
This man really uploaded vids that cut out a 17-20 not knowing how much iv been enjoying these vids
You missed them. They're on the channel
Please god, please more slay the spire, I’ve been so pogged up with the daily vids.
This ascension speaks to both how much NL has improved, and how sick Slay the Spire is as a game. Every run was completely different and successful in fun and unique ways.
YES I'd love the series to continue and see the other characters from Ascension 1

Love watching you play slay the spire and Isaac
Love the slay the spire NL thanks so much for makin my days
The spire got cooked brother
The true egg run is fitting for ascension twenty. Congratulations!
That's the beauty of StS: it's great to play and great to watch so keep em coming.
That was such a blessed run ! I've always loved this series and it will be amazing to see another A0-20 on another character !!!
Blessed run with a blessed 1 hour playtime! Now I'll patiently await for more content
yes im enjoying watching slay the spire, i had to go back to watch your old episodes. would love to see more since you're enjoying it!
This whole series was epic. This run being the perfect cherry on top! Please continue with a20 for every character, and heart kills!

The slaying of the spire feeds my soul….
I will never be satiated.
I've been loving the Slay the Spire episodes. I check everyday for new one. I hope you keep playing more, and I'd love to see you try the heart sometime. Haven't managed to beat it myself, but I really think you could do it!!
A 1 HOUR AND SOME CHANGE TH-cam VIDEO? Were pogging out of our gourd. Glad you're back NL
I was there 3000 years ago watching you play flash isaac all the way through repentance. My friends and I would purposefully not watch your run to watch it together after school haha. But now that I'm older nothing beats a slay the spire run
Yeeeees more STS. NL has the perfect blend of pog gameplay mixed with hilarious decroded plays.
NL: "You dont have to double zap" Also NL: "We gOtTa FilL tHesE Orbs" Me watching: *flips table
My man, you have improved no matter what. Keep it up
I thought the title said Barney instead of Britney and now I'm thinking about Barney singing Toxic
As someone who recently picked up Slay the spire mobile and has yet to see the third floor boss on maybe 30+ runs. The egg is cookin
I cannot express how much I love watching these runs and struggling though heart runs on my a12 defect.
For a victory lap in the future, I wouldn’t mind seeing ALL the other characters reach ascension 20, especially if you’re in a content drought with games or schedules with the crew. Only a thought, haha. Really great job man!!!
Ah NL back at it again... I love it!
Hey NL, congrats on the A20 win! I think you could have just ego fought the heart on this run and still come out of it with full hp, what a run! It was great seeing how often you were amazed at your own plays throughout the series and being amazed myself
Anoint this man!! GG NL!!! Cannot wait for the next character.
He keeps dying in act two-ah
Hey NL not sure if anyone has mentioned this before but if you click the eye symbol next to your cards when you're seeking or something similar it shows you your hand/combat so you don't have to try and peek under or over the deck to help make your decision.

Dont forget to play your upgraded tempests for 0 (X+1)
Great vid btw! (Yeah, I'll give THAT a like.)
"figuring out what character to play next" is the best news I've heard all month
I am watching religiously i check every night to see if you uploaded more StS , ofc id like more
Choosing biased there has me puzzled. I was seeing an easy orb focused deck after the orb relic and that sack orb for focus (forgot the names lol) card you got early on. Also Runic Pyramid man!
Feel better soon Northernlion, head colds are misery and I commend you for working regardless.
Amazing run! Great job from one perfect head to another!
Gods I hope he doesn't take the STS subreddit seriously. There is no more inconsistent source of evaluation you could find.
I wonder if he’s starting to realize that runic pyramid is insanely op
His ball lightning comment at 2:08 doesn’t make me optimistic for it.
Edit* also the popping off for lizard tail in act 1. Okay and the act 1 boss relic convo
I can’t wait till one day his tap to mute doesn’t work and I can hear all the shit he talks about me
I've tried slay the spire a lot and bounced off it. Now I'm addicted. More please!
The madman did it. After uniting his egg brethren he did it!
5:49 ACT TWO AHHHH (I'm ashamed)
holyyyy what a pogged run, the meteor strike plays were insanely pogged
The blessed egg run 🥚🥚🥚
Holy birsh. Great job, NL!
More runs would be pogalicious
Goated run he really did slay that spire
Would love to see NL go for a heart kill for once. Although doing that on A20 is definitely too much to ask, considering he plays way too fast.
A20 all the characters its a joy to watch you play this.
