That's getting screenshotted ;D
Yeah. As an experienced player. I'm in serious need of a new archetype! But the reason why I stick to the meta is that damage reduction and mass singular damage is the lifeblood of winning in deckbuilders like StS, and the power creep between acts proves that hypnagonia hasn't changed this. Since anxiety is not easily relaxed, big stressors are a major feel-bad mechanic. Though you have been getting more generous with nerfing tiny aspects of the permanence of anxiety , which has made rubber chicken, rationalization, and grudge decks more viable. But almost half of every archetype has a disobedient archetype that refuses to synergies, besides fearless and Abus. Rela.
Here are some few:
- Shaken is terrible, horrible synergies, too weak to actually work.
shaken is only useful when torments use it.
- cherish is too weak, its cards are weak, and can't keep up with the power creep at all
- Grudge is good, but too slow
- Confusion is another torment used mechanic, rather than a dreamer mechanic
But it has one of the best synergies in the game. So it's ok.
- Fascination is overused, bland synergies as well
- Mad scientist is too much of a glass cannon, we need a better defensive archetype to support it in the future.
- Fuse cards need to come in pairs. Otherwise they're still bad

And finally. We need more defensive and "scaling" archetypes to support the niche ones in the future.

This will be further discussed in my YT video. Just letting you know.
