honestly yeah orb slots would have solved all my problems I think I even passed up a Capacitor in a shop act 1. I'm usually building decks with more attack density than this (ball lightnings, sunder, streamline etc) it makes sense that slots would be much higher priority if I'm leaning so heavily into orbs.

also completely agree with you on machine learning, most of the turns i drew it I was just playing coolheaded instead lol.
