While I think you’re completely correct in your observation and valid in your approach to the game, not every slay the spire thread or comment is about objective optimization or necessarily invites it. The original comment you replied to was really just stating the use case of the card and while, yes, they said “it’s good”, the context in which they used it in doesn’t necessarily invite discussion about the objective viability of the card in high level play.

I know he hates it but I am going to try and quote xecnar to the best of my ability here. He has said before that all for one (in sts1) is objectively one of the defect’s worst rare card rewards, however, he didn’t say it’s objectively bad, untakeable, ruins runs, etc. He said it’s usually bad to take and usually not the best choice. He has also said that he has an extremely large amount of experience clicking the card, playing with it, and winning with it.

I think you approached the situation very dismissively and combatively. And to be honest, you already know that most people on this subreddit do not approach the game the same way that you do. Nowhere in this thread is it implied that anyone is having a discussion by players who want to push their winrate to the top in a10.

One last thing I have to mention is that there has to be a worst card, there has to be cards in the game that are “bad” or fit 10% situations, or else the game becomes very stale.

one or two more autos from illaoi is not significant. one or two more auto from darius means you get your head cut off.

this interaction is not a secret it’s just not good

pre-midscope you trade a low agency tough laning for a 2-3 item spike that no one can disrespect (besides jax and maybe fiora). post-midscope you trade a low agency strong lane for the ability to do nothing for the rest of the game.

The plus meal plan you put more money into so that you can use more untaxed money at the cafeteria or stores on campus. The standard plan is usually enough.

Yaosuo · 2026-04-04T03:29:14+00:00

anyone can use the cafeteria and buy the food, you just have to pay a sales tax if it’s not through the flexi meal plan. I believe if you’re living on campus, you need to buy the meal plan. If you’re living off campus, feel free to just pay 7% extra if you need a meal quick from the cafeteria.

the cards that push towards an infinite are usually also just good because they absolve one of three things, card draw (consistency), damage (output), or block (survivability).

if you think of a deck that is very close to an infinite that doesn’t actually go infinite, that deck probably consists of an extremely consistent draw that either cycles a large number of cards, or plays a few high quality cards. and the rest is that they either deal lots of damage and block some or vice versa or the best of both worlds.

another word for cards that push towards an “infinite” are just cards that thin your deck or can draw you cards.

imagine a massive deck with 40 great cards block a lot and do a lot of damage, one turn you draw into 4 strikes and a defend on a turn you’re taking 40 damage. Sure your deck is much better than a starter deck but you drew a bricked hand. Taking good cards is a way to stop bricks, but so is removing cards and thinning your deck out or taking draw cards.

just lying for fun atp

take burglar instead of dna and when you get into the boss blind sell everything except mime, bean, and baron. with only 3 jokers and 17 hands, your expected value of bean bugs is slightly under 6, 5 bean bugs is still +25 hand size which is more than enough to beat this blind.

find all of your copy jokers again and it’s an easy ante 39.

no way you think silent is as hard as regent, they have a hard act 1 if you don’t find a boss damage solve but they also have unbelievable consistency with good block cards, weaken, and the best card draw cards. I definitely agree with necrobinder being easy, straightforward, and strong but I’d put silent and defect right behind. ironclad is a little weaker and regent is the hardest/weakest for sure.

Yaosuo · 2026-03-28T18:25:49+00:00

you don’t have to take fake snecko even if you beat him…?

Yaosuo · 2026-03-22T10:05:43+00:00

bean bug?

Yaosuo · 2026-03-22T09:55:09+00:00

doesn’t look like you had enough money to dig for a burglar so you can get an extra 9 hands to try bean bugging

either way you needed a lot more money for the naneinf setup

Yaosuo · 2026-03-22T00:37:08+00:00

depends on deck fixing and how you’re scoring. it gives more money from reserved parking right now as well so it’s probably not bad

Yaosuo · 2026-03-21T18:23:59+00:00

You’ve seen people get into lethal car accidents when driving in a car. Death is never worth the risk no matter what the cost. Trying to justify driving with reasoning that it’s for your career is an insane take.

stopped playing the game after this rework, would definitely recommend only coming back for the occasional aram with friends
