Orrery really made this run. Being able to choose all the cards at once with knowledge of the other rewards is so much better than 5 separate card rewards.

Noob: Orrery?! More cards go brrr Pro: Well actually, you’re just paying gold to spin the wheel on 5 cards, if they’re not good enough to make your deck, that makes the value proposition lower! And if they do make your deck, more cards makes you more inconsistent! Baalorlord: Orrery?! More cards go brrr

​@@elchingon12346I don't understand what you're trying to say with the "pro" perspective here. It sounds like you're trying to say "5 cards isn't worth 180 gold, since they might be bad, and adding a lot of cards is also bad." Consider that if you buy Orrery, you'll usually add 3-4 cards to your deck, which means you're paying 45-60 gold for each one. That's not an unreasonable price. At least one of 15 cards will probably be *excellent* for your deck, and you gain a lot of additional value from being able to draft a synergistic package of cards. Orrery is also an immediate power spike, which is great since, it can let you take a short-term threat like an elite or boss more easily. As for "making your deck less consistent" -- what? There are benefits to a smaller deck (cycling faster, high upgrade density, low chance of drawing a dead hand), but also benefits to a larger deck (better status tolerance, ability to hold more niche cards, draw strikes/defends less often). Consider that you can also make your deck "small" by adding lots of card draw. So no, adding more cards does not make your deck worse. tl;dr yes orrery

I used to always skip this relic because I figured "I get cards from fights and shops all the time, what a useless relic" but then I actually tried it once and now it's one of my favourite relics, being able to pick up to 5 cards at the same time can get you some insta synergy

I've never understood why it's a good thing that Die Die Die exhausts and is then "out of your deck." 13 damage aoe is really efficient for 1 energy! Why would you only _want_ to play that once when it not exhausting means you could use that great option over and over?

@lightzebra

@@andrewramlall3560 For many decks, I'm sure a non-exhausting Die Die Die would be absolutely broken. But then you have decks that rely strictly on scaling Kunai or Shuriken with 0-cost attacks, decks that rely on poison and Catalyst, and decks that rely on Grand Finale. For those, Die Die Die would be a small damage boost but ultimately something that takes up space in your draw pile.

Timestamps for when Baalor picks up the cards in the thumbnail (Die Die Die x2 and Blade Dance x2): Blade Dance #1: (7:12) Die Die Die #1: (13:37) Die Die Die #2: (16:39) Blade Dance #2: (41:42) With the number of dies here, you would think they'd be called dice!

I love seeing sensory stone, basically every run has at least one colorless card that makes the deck way better. Together with mind bloom and a couple other goodies and usually having a mostly finished deck makes event farming in act 3 super worth it.

that's called "semantic satiation"

The whole breakdown of why you didn't wanna go to a shop at 49:57 just for the ? Room to be a surprise shop killed me lmao

About the power creep conversation at the start of this video. Even if you make stuff that is as definitively as good as currently available stuff. Having a greater variety of good stuff pushes the average power level up leading to power creep at more casual levels of play. (Something you'll hear Commander players talk about.)

I recently had to pass on letter opener in a tingsha, bandages, gambling chip, calc gamble run cause I needed to take the key. It felt so bad man. Not that the run wasn't still a cake walk with all that, opener woulda just been icing.

the shackled effect is already some wierd exception, a buff only being applied if the strength down is successfully applied as well or it's a debuff that applies another debuff if it succeeds, depending on how you interpret it... the later interpretation being kind of like biased cognition lowering focus over time. there's also some mod that have cards preventing enemy buffs I found (problem sleuth mod, the card treaty), and those effects block shackled (and leaves the strenght down when shackled gets used)... that tells me it's more of a buff with a conditional success on applying a debuff.

@shippudenboy1

Also: applying x vulnerable doesn't say "after x turns, attack damage grows by 33%". I don't get why shackles has to say "gain 6 strength at the end of your turn" instead of just "strength is lowered by 6 for 1 turn"

Inpatience was so great in this deck. Love to play discard shivs.

You'd think that Piercing Wail and Dark Shackles would work like Speed Potion and Flex Potion, where it provides both a buff and a debuff. Although, I'd also make it so that the buff is only applied if the debuff doesn't get blocked by Artefact, unlike the Potions.

The volume goes way down at 1:01:29 and back up at 1:10:29. Then down again at 1:17:40.

Seems just fine on my end. Odd.

It really is weird that Shackled is considered a debuff instead of a buff, but then again it'd be pretty weird to buff an enemy.

I feel like I've seen this run before, but I can't put my finger on it. Ah well, gg, great run

You might have seen it either on stream in a stream vod from the Unedited channel. All of Baalors content comes from twitch vods, so if you watch those you've seen all the runs before.

One way MTG combatted power creep for as long as they did. They would make creatures strong one time, then next time artifacts and lower down creatures. Now they don't even try to manage power creep though b/c they found more power more money. But that will only be true in the short term IMO..

homemade relic was tasty, must have been a waffle

Legitimate question for people here. I play A20. How often do others boss swap on ironclad because they think it is best option? (not just picking because its fun) I very very rarely think it is best choice because i could just end up with a cursed key. I would almost prefer to just take an upgrade. I never take it on silent as best option.

@AnestisKatsiavos-bn7vw

24 күн бұрын

Boss swapping is a risky choice, mostly because of ectoplasm and busted crown. Sometimes, however, all other choices presented are also risky, or outright bad, so you have to take the swap as the risk with the highest reward ceiling. Some other times your winrate with a certain character is kinda low, so you boss swap trying to highroll into something OP to carry your run.
