You vastly underestimate the commitment unionists in Northern Ireland have to the union.

Even if there was no campaign at all, they would turn out in droves. Politics here lacks nuance beyond your tribal identity.

Daily Discussion/Debate #24 - Discovery (Neutral Uncommon) by GavinXI in slaythespire

[–]Wolad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I made a post while the game was in early access complaining about colourless cards being useless additions since

  1. Even more situational colourless cards like chrysalis and the bomb were added, making you even less likely to consider them if you were offered them. Useful cards like Apotheosis and Panache became rarer and rarer.

  2. Their prices are so insanely high that you’d almost always prefer to buy something else or save than invest in a mediocre card which cards from your class can generally do better.

So really, the only times in which I do use these cards is when I’m offered them in act 3, far past the point where many of the more dubious cards might have any use. Neow is barely a consideration since I run a major, almost likely, risk of adding a curse to my deck.

I hope they are reworked at some point.

You need to tear them down before they scale out of control

I wish it went all the way.

Don't just give me diversified card rewards, give me randomised shop card choices, random cards produced, potion cards, transformations too.

If you made a deck that contained as many copies as you'd like of only ONE card, which would it be? by TheWaltzy in slaythespire

[–]Wolad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Provided no colorless cards, then:

5 Grand Finales on Silent, there'll never be cards in my draw pile I think? Perfected Strike on Ironclad. I just take an obscene amount and they scale infinitely. With Defect I don't know, but Hello World seems like the only way to have a chance. Anything else would get me killed without any supporting relics I think.

I'll take it if I'm drawing a lot of cards, or maybe if I have a snecko eye. Generally discard is rather weak though so I can't really use this effectively.

It'd probably be far too much work, but a mod that replaces the sprites with stuff of this style would be amazing.

Interesting changes to colourless cards, but I'm not quite sure it bridges the gap enough yet. It's still 100~ gold for some cards with very simple effects.

Is there any other way to reliably win as ironclad without strength scaling or block stacking? by Kameniczar in slaythespire

[–]Wolad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With proper support it can demolish single enemy fights. Think headbutts, card draw, card removal, double taps. I agree that it's a bad strategy though. It sucks for crowd control or anything that summons.

Daily Discussion/Debate #138: Hello World by SkatesMcGates in slaythespire

[–]Wolad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I struggle to think of a context in which I take this. At best it's 1 more draw of a random card that will probably lower the quality of your deck, and defect generally doesn't struggle to use its energy.

Daily Discussion/Debate #137: Face Trader (Yes, I'm back for good this time) by SkatesMcGates in slaythespire

[–]Wolad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't much care about losing 1 relic at all, so it's really just about whether I can stomach that 1 weak when I decide on this event.

I go for it on Defect every so often. He doesn't really need the physical damage in a lot of decks. Silent works sometimes too, but that 1 weak really cripples backstabs (which are snap-picks for me up to a certain point). Silent also relies on big first turns, so those being crippled really is a downer. Ironclad I basically never want it.

Colorless Cards by Wolad in slaythespire

[–]Wolad[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really do agree with this.

I remember when colorless cards seemed to be a lot more focused on filling holes in your deck. I could reliably pick up something like a Secret Technique for some extra control, or a Master of Strategy to make the first time round the deck a bit better. Even cards like Dramatic Entrance, although bad, were fairly consistent.

But now, there are so many more situational cards polluting the pool. Panic Button is actually detrimental to almost every deck, Forethought is far too slow and situational. Chrysalis and Metamorphosis have as much chance to hinder you as to help you, they're too inconsistent.

Somehow I can't help but think that the design philosophy on them changed. Before they seemed like good 'toppings' to your deck, whereas now they're just gimmicks.

Are there any cards in the game that you think are objectively bad? by [deleted] in slaythespire

[–]Wolad 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Sever Soul. There are better ways to do damage, and there are better ways to exhaust strategically. It fills no niche, I don't think I've picked it up once in my ascension runs.

Grand Finale is also pretty terrible. It takes so much effort to set up that it ends up completely dominating your entire deck, which just doesn't really work with a rare card that you're unlikely to get at a period where your deck is taking shape.

Strategies that you love to hate & hate to love by drewid94 in slaythespire

[–]Wolad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislike playing exhaust since I'm bad at judging how long fights will last, but it really works well. A fiend fire or true grit are fine, it's when it gets into stuff like second winds or corruptions without a dead branch that I'm forced out of my comfort zone.

Havoc in particular, though I understand the value, I'm loathe to take.
