Advantage is a really cool mechanic honestly. Adds a playstyle that isn’t just “unga bunga do big damage” and makes decks that chip away have their own playstyle of just abusing advantage build up.
I don't think its a different playstyle since its necessary to use any "on click" effect. I think it was added to limit the use of those cards because that mechanic didn't exist before but all of those "on click" cards did exist
@@MyWaifuNow It definitely adds a different playstyle by letting the devs add more on click effect cards and a player can try to build around using those a ton.
@@TripledYou This was the main motivation for it - I couldn't add strong 'on click' or 'adds to your hand' cards because they were too flexible. Advantage gates them a bit more
16:17 That's because 3 hands earlier, the slime took damage while holding the "Victim Card" which makes the cards of the person who damages them go up by 1 in value
The "Four Mana Seven Seven" is a Hearthstone reference from years ago, pretty funny to see it here! 17:05 Essentially it was still early-ish in the game's life but powercreep was still being felt so when 4attack/5defence was initially "average" for a 4 mana card, they eventually made one with 7attack/7defence and people memed on it
Playing a 4 mana 4/5 with no ability used to be considered the best possible turn 4. Then we got the 4 mana 7/7 (with a downside, sure, but the statline was so hilarious it didn't matter). I'm really glad the joke is still relevant!
I can really feel Tyler being in a better mood for the past few uploads. I think the break did him some good. Always nice to see him chasing down wacky builds while gleefully stabbing gamblers and drunks. 👌
FYI, in the casino game, "Blackjack" and "21" mean different things. Blackjack is specifically when you get 21 with exactly two cards. 3 or more cards & it's just a 21. (Blackjack beats a 21)
I'm happy to see more of this game! Also I think that the new "advantage" mechanic is great because it makes "add to hand" effects more self-balancing - cards like the Booster Pack won't be so disgustingly broken anymore!
If I had a nickel for every roguelike that’s based off a classic casino card game I’d have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s strange that there’s 2 of them
"Wanna play Blackjack?" - Person 1 "No, I want to play Stabjack!" - Person 2 "What's Stabjack?" - Person 1 "This!" - Person 2 *stabs the other person and dies* "Stabjack! I won!" - Person 2
In the casino game, a Blackjack is specifically a hand of TWO cards that equal 21 (A+10), not just any hand that equals 21. I don't know if this game makes that distinction, but it probably should.
Hey Tyler, I don’t know if you play mobile games or not, but I found a puzzle game which reminds me of sudoku, nonograms and minesweepers in where you have to place stars in a grid following some unique rule sets. I thought you would enjoy this game greatly since it has some interesting, minesweeper like logic. The game is called starbattles - logic puzzle by Kien Nguyen, it’s only a month old and I expect great things from this fun little game.
Yo if you separate aliensrock into ali einsrock, then you translate the word rock to German (stone= stein) you get ali einstien. But I’m not done. Ali is a very common nickname for people named Albert. Thus aliensrock is Albert Einstein.
Can someone explain how the one card is a slay the spire card? I don’t see the similarity…. Other than the fact it’s just a card that lets you choose one of a certain number during a combat but it doesn’t feel like that’s limited to a sts reference… haha it just seems common.
The Advantage mechanic probably helps balance since you can't just cripple the opponent with their own deck the whole time.. and I assume the opponents also have to build up to them so they also can't just go on a spree of locking you into a bad set of cards or whatever else they can do Like sure you *can* cripple them but you have to earn it so there is a bit more of a game now instead of costing off "oh I luckily got this opponent so I just win"
Hey Tyler! Just wanted to say welcome back! Remember Shogun Showdown? It received a new update recently and has gotten quite a lot of new things, including a new character. I'd love it if you cover the game again sometime if you can!
Ah yes how interesting You start with 100 hp witch just so happens to be the base health if you were using the big earner witch just so happens to be the knife on the thumbnail (Yes i know this was probably unintentional but i still find it cool)
Saw the 4 mana 7/7 in the beta… and it was broken as it locked in place. It just alowed you as long as you built a negative deck to just have your opponent always bust. Glad the lock is removed, still good im sure.

I literally kept skipping this card because I thought it was lackluster, but this is an amazing title 10/10
Stabbing battle advanced
There is a glitch to go infinite in the game, "infinitely stabbing my opponents in blackjack" would have been a great title!
Cred Card Knife is definitely anything but lackluster. Not only is it funny to stab people and commit manslaughter, you can go into "debt" with it.

Hi Icely!
16:17 That's because 3 hands earlier, the slime took damage while holding the "Victim Card" which makes the cards of the person who damages them go up by 1 in value
I noticed right when he used the stabby stab card, all the cards in his hand got +1 and I was like what the...? Thanks for posting this!

7:40 new Tyler lore unlocked:
Played Blackjack with rats in his childhood
We're rats, we're rats, we're the rats...
We bust at night, we lose at night, we're the rats.
"Pull a fast one" is a weird way of saying stab your opponent to death.
Whats your counter argument?
Pipe bomb
Oh
How About if You Get Countered by my Counter-COUNTER Argument?!
*_TACTICAL NUKE_*
I love how you returned with all of the games I love, like Veggies, Poker and blackjack
"Blackjack, But You Can Stab Your Opponents"
this is just fucking inscryption from that description
The 4 mana 7/7 is what Tyler used to called the Urayuli in Inscription. It's a Tyler reference!!
lol
Mfw (My faceless when):
I thought it was a hearthstone reference to the shaman minion that was a 4 mana..well 7 7 with overload 2
@@user-hv6gi9ux6z That's the joke.

Thank you Tyler for busting many men for our pleasure
Thanks for playing again! Hope you enjoyed your well deserved break ❤
Aliensrock making the bartender bust is my favourite part
Ah yes
British blackjack
Where I live, we call that blackjack.
Tyler be like: i can pay another way... ~ 🥵
tyler nooo 😧
Aliensrock is main monitor content. Love the vids, glad you're back.
Ah so normal blackjack when you lose.
This got me interested in balatro and it fully releases litterally TOMORROW, thats gonna be fun to watch more of as well
Tyler is making one eye jack much more literal
When the card knife showed up:
Me: Hell yeah
Tyler: Hell yeah
Guy being stabbed in the casino: Hell yeah
If I had a nickel for every roguelike that’s based off a classic casino card game I’d have 2 nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s strange that there’s 2 of them
when he posted that video on the other one i thought it was this game at first
@@hopydoesnti had the inverse happen
i thought this video was the other one
You'd definitely have more than two nickels.
@@cyberneticsquid A lot more than 2 nickles
Noarsy is killing it with these edits!
"Wanna play Blackjack?" - Person 1
"No, I want to play Stabjack!" - Person 2
"What's Stabjack?" - Person 1
"This!" - Person 2
*stabs the other person and dies*
"Stabjack! I won!" - Person 2

When I played balatro,I thought of this game intensely
I thought the game came out and was so excited x.x So fun to see you come back to this though!
I love how Tylers mustache looks more like a texan one with every new video
"Terminate the Tower" made me laugh so hard
Can’t wait to see some black jacks in this video!! 🔥🔥
1:46 The drunk could have busted him
“No, this is blackjack” I can’t tell if that was a SpongeBob reference but it’s absolutely hilarious
Just hopped on this game myself and have been waiting for Aliensrock to come back to it
Aliens are not rocks
But they do rock
@@guntruck4946🎸
They may own rocks
No cuz Aliens are ocks
You rock hard
1:43 "Yeah, made he bust!"
5:58 Got 'em!
7:20 Ayy, is that a Neil Cicierega reference?
Yes, more D&DG! Of the gambling based rogue likes on the channel, I prefer this to Balatro.
Can't believe he didn't accept the ass coin
Hearing "I still wanna bust..." will never not make me laugh.
Saying nice bust at 10:00 is CRAZY

I didn’t know how much I missed him until he came back 😭
The Aliens of the Rock: Return of the Tyler
I forgot how good having the daily vids was
I get on break right at 12 so this is perfect timing
In this household we don't bust
Yo if you separate aliensrock into ali einsrock, then you translate the word rock to German (stone= stein) you get ali einstien. But I’m not done. Ali is a very common nickname for people named Albert. Thus aliensrock is Albert Einstein.
First video i've seen from you in a while, welcome back man!
Great video 👍
Tyler needs to change his name to the Gambler. He found a twin
For those who do care, a blackjack is specifically when you hit 21 with two cards.
Plot twist this is already possible in normal blackjack
Dang it he made this joke
7:19 Me when I see a ghost.
This Balatro mod goes crazy!!!
Thank you Tyler for feeding my gambling addiction
Great to see something other than the great Balatro getting love.
Hold on. Stab? Why do you stab them when you could shoot!
Cmon that would be unrealistic
Gigachad janitor just kept pulling 19s
Blackjack but you can stab your opponent.
…isn’t that just blackjack?
Can someone explain how the one card is a slay the spire card? I don’t see the similarity…. Other than the fact it’s just a card that lets you choose one of a certain number during a combat but it doesn’t feel like that’s limited to a sts reference… haha it just seems common.
Finally you return to blackjack
“We don’t bust in this household” 👀
I'm so glad he's back
4 mana 7/7 haven't heard it in years
as weird as this sounds, is the best location for the face cam bottom middle for this game?
i cannot wait for Balatro's Full release (for me its 21st feb @ 4am)
Man, there a lot of people busting, aren't they.
i bust every time i see an aliensrock upload
Love the videos.
I am looking forward to watching the livestreams. ❤
I mean technically you can do that in normal blackjack
0:17 50-50 to what?

Im starting to dislike how much tyler is saying “he busted” ”I hope he busts” “i busted”
Finally blackjack the way they play it in my country.
Ah yes how interesting
You start with 100 hp witch just so happens to be the base health if you were using the big earner witch just so happens to be the knife on the thumbnail
(Yes i know this was probably unintentional but i still find it cool)
i remember when tyler used to upload at the more reasonable time of 11pm
Bustin' makes me feel good!
Gee, I wonder if we will be seeing a different poker based roguelite on the channel this week…
Has Tyler ever tried Void Stranger? It looks like a great puzzle game
Thought it was released. Well balatro in 24 hours
This is an incredibly fun game 😂
Blackjack? Nuh uh, blackstab!
is that a real moustache?
if so, that's impressive
British black jack
Dang, I’m gonna lose! *stabs opponent*
The pringles stash xD
Are there any plans for more Islands of Insight streams?
This Thursday!
thank you mr rock
I miss aliensrock I wish he was still with us! 😢
All notifications on, did not get a notification.
Thanks RUclips...

Glad the lock is removed, still good im sure.
I actually have the card knife irl, it's very nice
IT IS BACK
I mean, you can still stab your opponents while playing blackjack in real life. But it is not advisable in the majority of cases.
This game would be amazing with multiplayer
So normal blackjack
CRABGOD LOVES STABBING THE OPPONENT
