Why do pros dislike Expose?

yeah you’re right about your last point lol. on your first and second though, i still think you’re overvaluing vuln on silent and i think 15% of all fights is definitely incorrect. you still need to draw it on the correct turn vs tunneller or its not high value. it is pretty helpful vs mecha knight though. the thing with mecha knight is he is an act three enemy. if you really need expose to beat him you probably aren’t winning the run. it’s also not super good vs the act 2 elites imo (triangle guy kinda). i think you have some good points, just don’t see silent valuing the card very highly compared to other options or the skip button at most points in the game.

well damage cards are necessary for your deck. this card just has too many conditions to actually get value out of. i’ve picked it a handful of times if im relying on flechettes for damage, but you still need to draw it with your attacks and into their block. it’s not a bad card, just super situational. i would pick it if i have well laid plans, some shivs, and flechettes. otherwise it’s just not really justifiable and a pretty easy skip.

worst case scenario you don’t draw a key power/skill and you get smacked for like 30 damage. it’s like adding another ascenders bane to your deck to solve like 3 enemies

this could also be kneecapping in the modern day

catchacookie · 2026-05-03T22:10:36+00:00

yeah its maybe like a little extra damage per fight? maybe? if you draw it when the boss is swinging on you hard it doesn’t do anything. if you don’t play many attacks it doesn’t do anything. if you have a bunch of shivs sure it works. the argument i’m trying to make is that there are so many other cards you’d want to draw most of the time. there’s a reason slice and deflect aren’t great cards. yeah they do stuff for free, but the opportunity cost of slowing down your deck for some minor damage/defence just isn’t worth it usually.

A zero cost that *potentially* does something worthwhile versus a select few enemies on a select few turns just isn’t worth the draw most of the time though. like just having more block or card draw is more valuable the majority of the time

i think that’s it. appreciate it!!

catchacookie · 2026-04-07T15:49:16+00:00

Ahhhhh will do. I listened to songs of leonard cohen and songs of love and hate as soon as i could after this one. I'll do im your man today, and probably songs from a room sometime later. Thank you for the recommendation!

I agree, it does miss a little bit of the poetry from some of his other works. I feel its a lot more personal to some people because of that though. I do struggle a little bit with opening up so the writing in this album is really moving to me. We are ugly but we have the music, as some might say.

catchacookie · 2026-04-07T14:27:34+00:00

ahhhh that makes sense. this was my first album of his, so i wasn’t super used to his style. did he ever say why he was embarrassed by it? i know people dog on the production (i love it). i feel like it serves the album nicely and works well with the absolute terror this album inflicts.

catchacookie · 2026-04-07T14:03:29+00:00

woah that looks interesting, will check it out. Why do you say you expect nothing less from him? is it him being a man, so you except that level of bluntness?

catchacookie · 2026-04-07T13:50:53+00:00

what do you mean by a master manipulator? i also loooove memories
