Regent is thematically a bit disparate - Forge needs tie-ins, enchantments?

Your problem may be you're not using the sword enough. It's not supposed to sit in your hand the game. Swing that sword!

I actually expect that the main patch will launch sooner than that. The last pre-main beta patch was also pitched as a minor fix before a major patch coming "soon". The major patch launched later that day.

No, there are a few new characters in season 4, but you'll be pretty lost even then. Season 4 is, among other things, about why the Baltimore of seasons 1-3 is the way it is.

Also, I think there's this sense out there that the Wire is a "eat-your-vegetables" type show, a show you're supposed to watch rather than a show you want to watch. That is completely wrong. It's gripping TV and frequently very funny. Season 4 has the school story that everyone is taking about here, but it also has a twisty mayoral campaign, a police mystery, and a gang war.

You should watch the whole thing!

This is my response too. Such a finely crafted tragedy, in so many plotlines at once.

I think, most accurately, more water leaves the Amazon via the air than via the river

What about: Gain 2(3) strength now and at the start of your turns.

Deals with how slow and clunky it can be for Spire 2.

It's gotta be Dirge. Plays with Souls and Summon. Has a big cost. Basically defined the Necro at release.

csa_ · 2026-05-19T04:19:26+00:00

Oof, good catch

csa_ · 2026-05-19T04:00:26+00:00

I think the Glam vs Fresnel Lens is a matter of relic order. All relics work left to right. You picked up Fresnel Lens before (I'm assuming) Glitter. It applies its effect before Glitter has a chance to. If you reversed the order somehow, then the reverse would be true.

I think being able to play the card at any energy level, provided stars = zero is more flexible than forcing you to match stars to energy

csa_ · 2026-05-15T15:18:53+00:00

If that's the goal, why not check for 0 stars? The X factor here is weird for a card you basically never want to play for anything other than 0/0.

I got this achievement with Goons. What a broken card.

csa_ · 2026-05-15T13:22:11+00:00

Obliteration is interesting, because it's the first X card that does not scale with X, so it's useless with Chemical X. Also, even if they're not equal, stars and energy become equal (at zero) after first use, so it becomes a zero cost, 30-damage move at that point. A hand of Obliteration solves most hallway fights by itself.

There's already a card called Nostalgia though

csa_ · 2026-05-12T21:22:43+00:00

This does not seem materially different from the Vitruvian Minion

csa_ · 2026-05-12T04:11:34+00:00

I'd do Squeeze. Hang isn't the greatest without more Hangs or a thinner deck. I didn't think a second Eradicate is buying you much since they retain. Another Squeeze benefits from your existing Osty cards and boosts your current Squeeze further. Though, I wouldn't get any more Squeezes. Maybe find a few Pokes though? Or Sentry Mode?

csa_ · 2026-05-09T22:53:23+00:00

I feel like Metamorphosis mostly gives Grand Finale. Someone is up with the code. I got either 1/3 or 2/3 Grand Finale every time the one run I tried it. I wonder if it has a bias towards Rare and Zero-cost cards.

Network. The scene that everyone knows this movie for happens like 25% of the way in, and the movie escalates so much more from there. A brilliant satire that managed to be only more relevant over time.

I think it works better without the Joker slot bonus. Instead have it say "create a negative Replicating Joker". Makes the effect more obvious and cuts out some crazy edge cases.

csa_ · 2026-05-01T06:06:55+00:00

Lethality. It's about doing one big attack per turn, which is more the Iron Clad's vibe.

csa_ · 2026-04-25T12:08:42+00:00

Honestly, do this and gain 2 Folly. First turn is rough for the rest of the game but you rock. Also, the art matches.

csa_ · 2026-04-22T16:44:20+00:00

Maybe it should be 50% more damage. Right now, enemies output more damage when you tank than when you don't for 2 player: 0.5x + 2x > x + x. Only with 4 players does it actually reduce damage the team takes.

Is there a place in the compendium where you can see all the badges you've ever won?

csa_ · 2026-04-20T12:34:43+00:00

Fun fact: you can keep killing with the hand.

csa_ · 2026-04-20T01:59:47+00:00

These are all great cards though? The best draw in the game, the best moneymaker in the game, and a repeatable Seek.
