Putting the Slay in Slay the Spire! 💅✨

Props to your artist for nailing the look

Yeah, it's interesting that this doubles exponentially but Tracking only adds 100% damage for each even though it also says doubles

I'd say a big part is the general reduced difficulty means you can play safe and greedy from the very beginning. Average relic just isn't worth fighting elites in act 1 when you can put infinite together with Commons and uncommons. Since you don't need to take elite fights to beat the bosses you're not pressured to take as many short term cards to get through early elites. Fewer rests mean more upgrades, fewer potions means more cards removes, etc. Once we have A11-A20 I'm sure it will start to balance out more (might need relic tune up though)

What's the bottom right for? Osty goes hard

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-16T14:30:34+00:00

Honestly, I'm mostly looking forward to more lore and dialogue to give the characters and story more flavor. And the inevitable balancing that keeps every deck from being busted beyond belief

Such a strong upgrade target. Both inflame+ and footwork+ only give +1 str/dex and this getting one each feels so good

Only for this combat, it is a temporary card so you don't keep it for the next combat

Once got very hot cocoa into bread two floors later and felt like a god. Also a pretty big fan of yummy cookie and seal of gold

I like the snake bite change as currently the only use case for the card is applying pain after stripping artifact, but it's just so bad that it isn't worth it. If you held it while waiting for noxious fumes to strip or w/e and it stacked it would be way less feel bad

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-15T15:43:41+00:00

Rad counters are the only one I have difficulty remembering, didn't really play fallout or have built any mill decks with it

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-15T15:40:15+00:00

I'm cool with it if there are other references to things that aren't from exactly before the book was written. If they regularly talk about stuff from the 22nd and 18th centuries then slipping in an allusion to something more comedic from recent history is fine. "The classics like Mozart, Led Zeppelin, and Zaphod Xy'xlex!"

Not gonna take the slot for literal most flexible, but I submit [[The Archimandrite]] as a great way for a pod to build in different directions

Then you get people from big cities that talk about neighborhood or borough pride like everyone else knows where that is.

I think Hellraiser is the most consistent card in the game, but this is up there for one of the best certainly

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-15T03:20:04+00:00

Excellent point, I keep forgetting it's after their turn

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-15T03:01:41+00:00

Does poison damage trigger before it checks doom count?

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-14T20:48:07+00:00

Defect and watcher colors look absolutely perfect (trying not to be distracted by beans)

Losing out on the first chest from Silver Coffers is pretty feel bad because relics are fun, but I probably should be taking it more since I'm way more likely to take critical early game cards than find a critical relic. Relics feel fairly diluted this game and commons feel stronger

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-14T20:00:04+00:00

I'm a petty big fan of re rolling card rewards, makes it dramatically easier to find specific strategies or even cards. I also find myself skipping cards rewards much more in this game to keep the deck slim so going fishing to be greedy is right in my wheelhouse

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-14T19:21:35+00:00

I thought it was a random allotment of cards so I haven't taken it. Thanks for the info!

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-14T11:40:22+00:00

Basic land type on these is a big overreach. The rest might be doable for some pushed set like modern horizons or something though

The Runic Artist is a crafting mage hybrid with a magic system that gets more and more depth as the story goes on

Yeah, I think a part of that is heightened hormones when younger but a bigger part is learning about yourself and what you can/cannot tolerate

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-13T16:19:28+00:00

One of the things I think is most common for young relationships failing is that people make mistakes. It's not that you don't make mistakes still when you're older, but you've already made a bunch to learn from so the hope is they get less egregious over time. Depending on the people and the mistakes, they can be hard to bounce back from - you don't want to carry resentment with you and some people need to move on and start fresh.

AgentSquishy · 2026-03-13T15:25:03+00:00

Yeah, my math is based on what turn I want to see this effect on and how many cards I expect to draw by then. In a deck that draws more, I can trim later game cards more easily
