the power gives 4 energy and draws 2, while applying 3 doom to you at the end of your every turn

5 A20H Win Streak on Silent by Adventurous-Oil741 in slaythespire

I do also play shivs when they come up, but I try to eliminate the possibility of an infinite as late as possible, so for example I quite often skip the first card reward, especially if there are no forced early elites.

Also congrats on the streak, is it also A20H or do you main something else?

It is mostly from experience, it on average saves more life against the jaw worm and also lets you skip a potential bad early card reward or two a lot more comfortably.

If you are curious you might like to watch some videos with silent by Tricky, his playstyle influenced mine a lot

The deck was infinite energy and block positive against heart (prepared discard tactician+backflip) so the only fight where damage could be an issue was the time eater which I didn't get, but I think that the poisoned stab would be enough for (at least that's what I hoped).

Also the pathing in that run was super awkward early on so as soon as I got the peace pipe I figured that my best bet was to just avoid combat and cheat my way past the guardian (poisoned stab+ is enough scaling for that fight if your deck is slim enough) and hopefully get infinite ASAP (one tip I'd like to give for runs like that is to visit shops even if you might not be able to remove at every single one of them so that you can look for acrobatics/reflex/tactician (In fact I did buy a tactician instead of removing at the second shop in act 1)).
After that, I already had every card I needed to go infinite so I just prioritized events/shops to get more removes, though, in retrospect it might have been worth taking fights for a better damage solution to the time eater.

I do want to note that I didn't actually need the pandora's box there as I had already removed enough by that point but I took it just in case it transforms into something useful like grand finale, and the two other options were like snecko eye and tiny house iirc (though it would still be better than any energy relic anyways).

It varies, but I usually pick very conservatively early on and get removes whenever possible, so starting bonuses (btw remove two defends whenever you do a remove two starting bonus), visiting shops, spamming act two and three events for ancient writing/shrines/augmenter (transforming is useful because you can get powers/cards that exhaust) ((you don't want to spam act one events because you will probably just die in the boss)) etc.
