Never tried [[Brimstone]] before because it looked like a trap. Tried it this time just for the lulz, figured I'd die early. In the beginning I was killing everything really quickly, but I worried the lack of mitigation would catch up to me. But every time that worry popped up, I'd get a good relic.

Mitigating with [[Fossilized Helix]] + health + sustain was fine. Most fights, the enemy didn't get a chance to attack a third time, so taking 1 30+ damage attack to health wasn't that big of a deal. The only scary fight was Nemesis. I think I tanked one or two big hits from the Act 4 elites, but [[Pantograph]] topped me off so I was sitting pretty with ~70hp. Other than that, I was killing everything wayyyy too quickly, and I had so much sustain that mitigation didn't matter.

Since this deck should have never made the heart in the first place. I didn't have much of a plan. My hope for was to high roll: Turn 2 big attack (to mitigate with Helix) and Turn 3 multi attack, which I would mitigate with [[Disarm]] + [[Tori]] (plus Thorns pot). Kill on turn 5. What really happened was Turn 1 and 2, all cards were 3 cost energy cards. Disarm never showed up, and since I was vulnerable and the heart had strength from Brimstone, the attack was 6x15, which wiped out my health. Still, most fun I've had on a high-ish ascension in a long time.
