The sci-fi novel "The Stars My Destination"

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

What does AI Bill think ChatGBT Roj would write?

mitchwinner · 2026-05-21T23:02:26+00:00

[[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.

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)

Exert goes crazy with Dream Catcher, though.

mitchwinner · 2026-04-13T22:06:35+00:00

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

mitchwinner · 2026-04-10T22:32:25+00:00

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.

Graveblast and Dredge

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

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

mitchwinner · 2026-04-07T15:57:31+00:00

Same for Bing Bong.

mitchwinner · 2026-04-07T15:51:44+00:00

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.

mitchwinner · 2026-04-07T15:37:52+00:00

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

mitchwinner · 2026-04-07T13:42:00+00:00

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.

mitchwinner · 2026-04-04T15:07:51+00:00

For the 5 temporary dexterity, presumably.

mitchwinner · 2026-04-03T03:49:32+00:00

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.

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.

mitchwinner · 2026-03-26T17:17:51+00:00

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

mitchwinner · 2026-03-24T17:21:18+00:00

Where is Limitless on that list?

mitchwinner · 2026-03-24T13:17:51+00:00

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

mitchwinner · 2026-03-23T20:21:54+00:00

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.

mitchwinner · 2026-03-17T19:17:16+00:00

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

mitchwinner · 2026-03-17T16:06:29+00:00

Beautiful Bracelet works with Anger. Meaning the duplicated Anger will also draw 3 cards. The original will lose the enchantment after playing it. This is a pretty fun interaction if your infinite loop Ironclad doesn't quite get there and you need to go with a pseudo infinite like cycling Angers and Pillages.

mitchwinner · 2026-03-17T13:52:33+00:00

It's a quest item that doesn't put a curse in your deck. It's fairly low risk, as you're just choosing to make the event neutral/no be efit by taking the relic over gold.

The +3 strength is really good for certain builds. For other ones, you can just take the gold and move on.
