1:54 Me when i read a goated RUclips comment with a timestamp that takes NL’s stream of consciousness out of context and references it to a very peculiar scenario
Still didn't take that biased cog going into act 2 when he needed a serious solution to his blocking and upfront dmg issues for hallway fights, and instead opted for echo form which actually just exacerbated the issue, but definitely lots of improvement
He still makes procedural mistakes during his turn all the time but his overall decision making seems to have come a long way in a short time. n.b. I am way, way worse at the decision making in sts.
NL really gaslit himself into taking the bites thinking he has no block. The egg had like 2/3 glaciers with focus, charge battery, dual cast, and chill.
Maybe I'm just a Loop kinda guy, but man it hurts that he never takes Loop. Free damage or free block at the start of your turn is so strong, especially when you double it up and have Electrodynamics.
@@LiteratiMuffin The first one I was like "Okay, it's unupgraded, whatevs", the upgraded one off dreamcatcher hurt me immensely haha. Loop and Defrag are so insane when you are going for a Echo Form build that can turn that upgrade from a 2 to a 4.
Me personally I would've done the energy relic that reduced card choices. He already had a 22 card deck. Isn't that relic one of the best ones outside of the anti potion one?
@@paoracampbell3127 yeah i used to think sozu was good, i was just bad at remembering to use potions, the more time you spend gitting gud the worse sozu becomes
he slay the spire, we pog. he slay the spire, we pog. man that was a hell of a run! I can't believe it made it all the way! Props to you for making it work
Melter is better than Claw in act one if you assume you're not going to find a second one. Also, because of ascenders bane, unceasing top is much worse past ascension 10. Having said that I dont think NL thought his first two runs through. I dont knock it though, playing fast and going for elites and then just doing a bunch of runs until one sticks is a fun way to play slay the spire.
these are always the most fun, and i've had a lot of these in the past. literally just, random bullshit and carried because we're scraping by elite after elite. I love the defect
20:00 doubling Core Surge was a mistake, he'd already done his debuff turn, so those artifacts are pointless. You'd have lived if you'd doubled a glacier.
Youre playing impressively well recently. I think you're right the first run involved a lot of bad luck. Taking the bites at that point was a critical error though which basically guaranteed a loss against the collector. Against the collector your deck needs to be able to put up large block numbers every single turn, stuffing your deck with 5 bites which all essentially just say "block 2" diluted your deck's blocking capabilities too much. I think you were probably dying anyway. But your potential route to victory was playing multiple echo forms, defrags and leaning on frost orbs while lightning slowly got the kill.
Hey NL, loving the spire content! If I may, consider hand of greed some more. It’s a great dmg card for 2 energy and gets even better when upgraded. Especially if you can pick it up early it can accumulate tons of gold
As someone who just picked up the game (65 hours is YOUNG) it disheartens me to learn that the way i play is the one run that Ryan says “absolutely should not have worked” and “don’t learn anything from this” lmao
27:30 i fell to my knees when he didn't take meteor strike with recycle AND sunder 30:14 passed up on another meteor strike maaaaaan the backseater inside me is throwing a tantrum
Nice save. I think a buffer upgrade at one of those fires wouldve paid dividends Its really hard to lose when youre sitting on 700 relics but most of them werent that impactful for us

Maybe I'm just a Loop kinda guy, but man it hurts that he never takes Loop. Free damage or free block at the start of your turn is so strong, especially when you double it up and have Electrodynamics.
Especially skipping upgraded Loop!
@@LiteratiMuffin The first one I was like "Okay, it's unupgraded, whatevs", the upgraded one off dreamcatcher hurt me immensely haha. Loop and Defrag are so insane when you are going for a Echo Form build that can turn that upgrade from a 2 to a 4.
Ur kinda Loopy for it huh
It was so painful to see happen…If only he read the comments 😩
And to say it’s to keep the deck lean only to take 5 bites….I’m dying here lol

We're Costco guys of course we hunt relics.
NL finally playing well in a run, and then concluding no one should learn from it got me feeling some kinda way
truly we are entering a new golden era of nl content. slay the spire is peak i will watch forever
36:01 Black star is a fine pick but sacred bark wouldve been very strong since you had a relic that guarantees potions after every combat
Me personally I would've done the energy relic that reduced card choices. He already had a 22 card deck. Isn't that relic one of the best ones outside of the anti potion one?
@@agentkirbBusted Crown is among the worst boss relics and Sozu (Anti-potion) is not much better

claw decks are bad
Melter is better than Claw in act one if you assume you're not going to find a second one. Also, because of ascenders bane, unceasing top is much worse past ascension 10.
Having said that I dont think NL thought his first two runs through. I dont knock it though, playing fast and going for elites and then just doing a bunch of runs until one sticks is a fun way to play slay the spire.
Claw is not a good card.
NL: I think I’m loving the leanness of our deck.
NL literally one second later: I think we need to add 5 bites, man.
The number of times he left 1 mana and a card on the field was mind boggling

That was an impressive comeback honestly. Gambling on elite fights and scraping by to bring the run back from the brink was sick
Damn, he really managed to win the bad cards only run
Truly what are these decisions. How do you start floor 1 unceasing top and not take claw scrape steam barrier immediately
that first one was so close to being great, a touch more block and those bites would go crazy
"Bad luck" when dying to something foreseeable after tons of luck.

20:00 doubling Core Surge was a mistake, he'd already done his debuff turn, so those artifacts are pointless. You'd have lived if you'd doubled a glacier.
That last run was genuinely impressive. It was so ass, but he persevered, and got the highest score of the ascent so far I believe.
Youre playing impressively well recently. I think you're right the first run involved a lot of bad luck. Taking the bites at that point was a critical error though which basically guaranteed a loss against the collector.
Against the collector your deck needs to be able to put up large block numbers every single turn, stuffing your deck with 5 bites which all essentially just say "block 2" diluted your deck's blocking capabilities too much. I think you were probably dying anyway. But your potential route to victory was playing multiple echo forms, defrags and leaning on frost orbs while lightning slowly got the kill.
