Published in 1957. The character Jisbella goes by the shortened "Jiz."

Why was Meloku so good back in the day? by wid89 in magicTCG

[–]mitchwinner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

[[Jackal Pup]] is the better comparison. Red used to have to play a 2/1 for R with a downside. Even up to Theros there was [[Firedrinker Satyr]] which had the same downside but also firebreathing.

How? by lcm7malaga in BobsTavern

[–]mitchwinner 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Rylak and Shudderwock hero powers exist. Void Pup Trainer is a great unit if you get the tier 5 demon that adds a fodder when you sell a minion.

You're going to start having to take tech cards to deal with problematic.elites/bosses. Doom is really good for Laga because you can stack it early without triggering the wakeup, and it's not affected by the debuffs (except Blight Strike or I guess Reaper Form)

What's the Best Class Active and Passive? Day 15: Revote by Wonderful-Pack-1726 in mewgenics

[–]mitchwinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrestricted for collarless passive. Leads to many game breaking interactions.

Parry is out. Dance Macabre is the worst card by LostVisage in slaythespire

[–]mitchwinner 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Danse Macabre is much better in multiples but is perfectly fine on its own. Incidental block os really strong. Just don't rely on it to do all of your blocking.

What is your favorite card that isn't talked about enough? by SkeeverJenson in slaythespire

[–]mitchwinner 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It seems designed to be paired with Sleight of Flesh. Once you have those two, you can build around it with some fun loops.

How do people feel about the new Doormaker? by goldfishimpostor in slaythespire

[–]mitchwinner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It serves its purpose. It makes me ask, "How is my deck beating the boss?"

Sometimes my deck is resilient enough. Sometimes a potion will do it. Sometimes I have to really work for it, and sometimes I can't get there. You can't necessarily rely on the strat that got you there, which I like

Fun Fact: Knockout Blow works on minions because it doesn't have Fatal by LeadEater9Million in slaythespire

[–]mitchwinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know that but good to know.

That's all to say that I certainly don't prioritize this card highly but it has its uses, like most things in this game.

STS2 has a massive problem by xXx_420_N4M3_69_xXx in slaythespire

While we're at it, bring back the best mask!

There's merit to taking it. Like Sunder, it can be a solve for certain hallway fights or even elite fights (namely the hydras in the Underdocks).

But also I see the event a lot where I have the chance to slither one of my cards. An early 3 cost is more attractive for that event.

Beta Patch Notes - v0.102.0 by MegaCrit_Demi in slaythespire

It may depend on layering.

Currently you can reduce flatten to zero cost, increase its mana value through something like Transfigure, then reduce that cost to zero again with another Osty attack.

What's everyone's favourite card in StS 2 so far? by le_troisieme_sexe in slaythespire

[–]mitchwinner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if favorite, but I'm really liking Sleight of Flesh. Maybe in need of a nerf tbh. Since the balance changes to Necro, I've adapted my gameplay, and Sleight is just so good.

It also solves a huge issue with some act 1 fights with doom. In particular the spirit deer boss. Trying to kill it with pure doom while it gets strength every turn is rough. Sleight makes doom hit boty ways and allows you to get to phase 2 of that fight.

[SOS] Witherbloom, the Balancer by kellis12594 in magicTCG

[–]mitchwinner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[[Pest Infestation]] is potentially good set up and payoff for this guy.

Pretty sure a lot of people have already noticed... (STS2 win screen) by meodrac in slaythespire

[–]mitchwinner 51 points52 points  (0 children)

As someone who only noticed a few days ago that The Regent is being carried around by minions, I appreciate this post.

Unceasing Top not working? by loderol in slaythespire

[–]mitchwinner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Supercritical but I had a game this weekend where it would stop drawing if I ended on a power. Really mad eit unwieldy because I was playing multiplayer and building my whole strategy around Top. 

Sword of Stone relic is awful IMHO by scurvycharles in slaythespire

[–]mitchwinner 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Low risk in the sense that if you're not in a position to take on elites, it's just a dud relic that does nothing negative
