It's pretty funny how Ouroboros is arguably the most nerfed card in Kaycee's mod, yet it is still in the highest tier. It really just shows how many leagues ahead it was in the base game.
@@smileguy1187It used to carry over all the stat increases from one run to the next; if you got it to 10/10 in one run, the next run it will start at 10/10. In Kaycee's Mod, it always starts at 1/1, and the stat boosts are only permanent for the rest of the run.
You guys are going to think Im crazy but I never played Ouroboros despite having played over 40 hours of the game lol. Most of the time I THOUGHT it was just a 1/1 with immortality, so a worse cockroack. Then I found out what it did but I guess never really found it much, or thought it was worth it still... BUT ONLY NOW I realized the boosted stats CARRY OVER to the next matches, even on the same run, that is freaking insane lol how is that even supposed to be fair.
@@eduardofreitas8336 It's not supposed to be fair. I think the dev was concerned about possible player frustration and added it as a crutch win condition. That said, its very fun.
“Fly block is bad because It’s good to let flyers attack you directly so you can kill them” “noooo underwater is bad because it basically makes the other card a flyer >:(“
watched someone get screwed over cause his fledgling wolf got flight blocking from totem. maybe blocking a raven or vulture once could help win the game next turn though. leshy deciding to play kingfishers seem a bit irrelevant though, he could have put a wolf or rattler in that spot
Flying is good when you fight the Angler on 2nd phase since flyers won’t take baits. But if there’s a card that does more damage to you, flying may not help much.
Yea I was also confused by why he said that, but after beating Kaycee's mod with all challenges enabled I think it's because Leshy doesn't have to consider sacrificing cards to play cards -- he just plays them. Board control is uber important for you because when you have board control you can play whatever you want via sacrifices. But Leshy doesn't need board control because he already plays what he wants, so flyers are really good for him since he can just attack you directly.
24:08 It’s genuinely sad how few people use this “trick” considering it’s LITERALLY the first thing you do in the game. You play the stoat, then sac it for a wolf almost immediately. It is literally the tutorial, yet people lose runs because they refuse to do it
Yeah, it's because many people dont want to lose a card or sacrifice anything that has value. But thats the entire reason cards that cost three blood work outside of needing a specific deck. You draw a squirrel or two and sacrifice whats currently on the board to play them and have more power.(only when it'd make sense though). Stalling and then playing one in an open lane gives you an easy win, or you can just take out the biggest threat.
@@The_Andromeda_Galaxy Weird that people forget that that's how you are supposed to play Leshy’s game... It's almost as if we have no idea what we are doing.
I mean, maybe people dont use that opener, and instead pass to take damage and save the stoat, but how are they losing runs to it. The only way you lose in this game is by having too many cards and not getting the right draws. I really doubt people haven't grasped the idea of disposable cards considering thin win conditions and lane defense is pretty much the only thing in this game
The best way I've seen the cat used is aliensrock's most recent episode. He took the deck that has a black goat in it, got a cat in the initial shop, immediately gave it the three blood sigil and then went ham on three costs.
Its a good strat but the issue is that you are extremely reliant on the cat, until you draw it you cant do anything good. But i do agree, trash tier isnt fair and it does have potential if you can get the magpie sigil or keep your deck small with 1 r 2 early defenders and your finishers
@@Aces203 yes i think tyler played it well, small deck with cat, 2 or 3 1 costs to help early on and 3 finishers. Magpie symbol to get to the cat or another finisher. But unlike other decks, he NEEDS that card to stay alive, else it falls behind the pressure
I think Black Cat is good enough to be in "Needs Specific Deck". It has made some of my decks from strong to guaranteed win. Also, to me, Pack Rat is just slightly better than Adder. Both allow you to make your garbage cards bearable.
Honestly not really sure it doesnt hurt to get an item but it gives you random items, it could be terrible and touch of death can save your live for things with high hp
@@absolute1936you don’t want it on a cheaper card because then you go from having a guaranteed black goat or a card with enough stats to turn one lethal consistently it’s just an active liability by making your fair hand pool bigger. 99% of your deck should be 2/3 blood or bone cost with only a single 1 blood that you can consistently win turn 1 with if you draw it.
Fun fact: you can kill the anglers sharks if you have hit them twice, I don't know if you know this already but when you hit a bait bucket, it spawns the shark, but the shark wont go down until the end of Leshy's turn, so if you use something with a Mantis sigil that does at least 2 damage, you can kill the sharks.
Personally id say that the ijiraq is at least usable, the only downside it has is the fact that it cant be buffed by flames/sacrifices, otherwise it has the best stats in the game (only higher attack by default is urayuli/ouroboros and ijiraq can only die from a porcupine), and you have to consider the fact that its a rare so you have to compare it to the likes of pelt lice, long elk, etc Also red hart is the definition of "needs a specific deck", there are lots of infinite sacrifices combos that arent op but red hart turns them into instant wins
if you have an infinite, you dont want red. literaly anything that can deal 5 is better 90% of the time, and equivilient in the last 10%. red is always a mistake.
Other guy already said it, but if you have an infinite sacrifice loop, Red Hart is still shit. Ouroboros or Lammergeier are gonna clear that every single time. You can never lose if you build the right deck around Ouro or Lammer, but the fact that you can still lose even with the right deck as Red Hart says a lot about how shit that card is.
Any cards that have a movement sigil seems to be a lot more effective for Leshy since it can easily confuse newer players and frustrate experienced players if the cards happen to fall in a unique way. If Inscryption were to ever have a multiplayer mode (which is admittedly unlikely), I could see those cards having some kind of unique functionality. As it stands, any strategy using movement cards isn't as effective since Leshy's AI doesn't really apply any advanced strategy at all.
yes, annoying leshy cards with somewhat high health but you can't really block them well since they move around. they are a bit bothersome when you only have 1-2 attack cards
inscryption Multiplayer would honestly be really fun, if maybe a bit coinflip in some scenarios, since you can just like black goat + geck into a urayuli and win first turn.
when the tiering takes as long as one playthrough, you understand the dedication :D

Well it matters because most flyers that leshy has do 1 or 2 damage. Whereas there are wolves, bears and other things that are much better.

The critcism you were looking for with the racoon is "it's too slow"
The food buff does add damage to ants, figured that out today running all challenges.
It also adds damage to the tentacles, so the Mirror Tentacle has a chance to glimpse beyond the Trash tier
