I do think he ‘underrates’ it slightly, but I understand his logic: it’s doubly conditional to perform well. The obvious first condition is the stance-dance, which he often likes to build decks different from this when possible. Secondly, what makes it truly shine is having a lot of scry, which he does here. Using scry he can freely discard it to draw better cards instead and use the stance dance to retrieve it. Without both of these things it’s essentially drawing a slightly better slice on a character that already has plenty of good attack cards. This combined with the fact that Baalor has stated that he likes to run smaller decks in general for Watcher makes it easy to see why Flurry often ends up as a skip.
I mean to use Flurry effectively, you need to have a free slot in your hand, but you also want to have a lot of block (to counter beat of dead) either with power like Mental Fortress or depend relics like Fan and Kunai. There’s just so many condition need to fulfill in order to make use of it when there’re card with way less risk involved but still have good result
His playstyle on watcher is significantly different from that of other top players. I do think he underrates it slightly, but I think it’s mostly mediocre and struggles a lot against time eater and heart (watchers two hardest fights by a mile) especially if you never see ttth

So glad I discovered the unedited channel, I like watching runs without knowing if it's a w. The playing is possibly more impressive when it's close!
in the spire, straight up 'slaying it'
This run would be so free if he just took the mental fortress and upgraded it
What did he take instead?
Is Baalor wrong about Flurry? He said here (and has said before) that it's not good, but it sure seemed like it was doing work in this run.
I personally think he underrates the card but I'm not sure why
