Select the Hello hello hello Okay.
Everything's working, looking good.
Let's load up the game. We loading?
1.5L of milk Alright, so yesterday we started the 100% run universal decks only.
The goal is pretty simple.
Gotta win a game with all 15 Paragons
using only universal cards.
It took three hours to win with ADHD, which was not expected.
I did not think it was going to be that hard.
But then, I won with Kathy, Asio, and even Nias.
And so, we're feeling pretty good.
I guess the question is, what do I want to do next before I go back to the game? The question is what deck do I want to start with?
Maybe earthen maybe Shoshana
Shoshana is not too bad people have actually like
theorycrafted uni Shoshana for real all right let's do let's do Shoshana and so
we're trying to make each uni deck fit the theme of the paragon as closely as
it can so for Shoshana will we'll wanna build a controlling deck,
something that is not afraid to go a little slower
since we have the big Reheal.
Immediately turn off earthen cards.
My mouse is going towards the steward of the garden.
Immediately turn off earthen cards, only Uni.
And then yeah, so Shoshana, she's just got huge health. And she can Reheal really big.
So how do we play into that with Yuni?
Basically we just build a Control-style deck.
That's basically control style deck.
Do the stat buff strategy. Generally when we're running the uni deck as I'm learning now is like our slow strategy is pretty much either hacker or stat buffs. And I don't really like hacker that much.
So if we do the triple retired officer, maybe one muscle.
that can be a good, just like a basic idea.
And then we'll put in our usual draw engine,
since that's the one thing that doesn't really change.
So ASVs, researchers, probably one drone printer
would be sufficient here.
And then I don't know, I to be able to use poison or to clear big units and stuff
But that requires us to get wide
We could run ruin tinkerer and then master poison er
Like we could do a bit poisoners are best removal for sure, but it requires us to be early, to be like a head early
Alternately if we don't run the Poisoners or the Ruin Tinkers we could do it differently
I don't know, do I want to try to get wide with this list? I mean we're definitely gonna run the Gunslingers and the PS8s
Hmm, probably want some relic removal if we're running slower we can run like two Collaterals and the PS8's hmm
Probably want some relic removal for running slower. We run like two collaterals. We know we're running Wong
There is a certain uni shell that pretty much works for all of them. That's about 20 cards. It's pretty much what it is
Can run some no snitchings.
We could do coins, although this feels like more of a shard list.
So shard on two, retired officer on three can be really nice.
Although coin just feels better than shard
since it works against the faster decks,
but shard does synergize with the ladies.
Maybe we do the cyber deck console on this one.
Cyber deck could be good. At that point we could run aids to try to block demos and AOPs.
We have the ladies, we could also run commandeered warship maybe.
Specifically as a discard for the cyber deck.
I don't know, it's kind of uh...
Maybe the ladies should just be... If we're already far enough ahead we can discard a lady. as a discard for the cyber deck. I don't know, it's kind of,
maybe the ladies should just be,
if we're already far enough ahead, we can discard a lady.
I don't know, are we actually gonna use cyber deck?
Maybe we use it more to discard threes.
I kinda, I can't really think of anything
except this ruin tinkerer, poisoner approach,
which then means I just have to run more one drops
I have to run more one drops pretty much have to run wide one drops
assassin is it's okay when you can buff it the thing is assassins really nice
with the retired officers
a diesel yeah rare very rare early stream now that my sleep schedule so
Yeah, Uni Challenge is going pretty well. I can move my camera.
We've beaten four, we've beaten four of the decks so far.
Four of them down. We've beaten four of the decks so far.
And it's getting a little easier as I go. I'm learning, I'm actually learning some stuff.
I feel like eventually when I go on a sweaty arc again,
You do get to think about cards
that you don't think about as much. You get to think about cards that you don't think about as much you get to think about cards in different
Contexts and also cards. You just don't think about like it definitely
It's it's it's terrible for ranks and short-term results, but there is a certain learning process from doing these wacky challenges
It's I don't know. It's definitely boosting my creativity a bit. I just moved my camera back
Nomad thanks for the raid yesterday. Oh no problem, man happy to do it
Gonna be on my quintile later. That's awesome
Damn Daniel back at it again. We need to keep going. That's a we got to keep going
I'm just deciding on my my my
I don't know, I'm trying to make Master Poisoner fit into this list, which is maybe a bad idea.
We could run interrogators.
We got the Ruin Tinkerers.
We got Gunslingers, Shielded Assassins, ASVs.
Am I brave enough to just run artifact appraisers?
We are running a lot of... okay, we could run artifact appraisers, put in the sanctuary...
That works, we have a lot of artifacts. Or a lot of relics, rather.
so wouldn't mind fitting in the alvaros
scanner probe, second drone printer.
Five effects, four relics.
There's like so few good universal effects
is what you realize when you do this challenge.
Oh, I thought about playing paid off. We can run paid off
Just I don't know the thing is like we wouldn't normally want to run poison er
In the kind of list that this is but I just don't have much removal
Other than annihilate which is really bad, so I feel like we just try to make poison er work
like not having good removal is So I feel like we just try to make Poisoner work.
Like not having good removal is definitely a thing
with these Unidex with this challenge.
Yeah, I never was involved in that.
I am happily not paying attention
to any crypto stuff right now.
If there's stuff that I like that happens to use crypto, I'm happy to do it. But I'm pretty happy to just not.
I think crypto culture has lost me forever, maybe.
Spend a million dollars, get a pair of shoes something like that
All right, you need that Shoshana. I think this can work. We just got a win once after all
All right Let's see if we can make this Shoshana work like I figured out some of the play style stuff. We'll see yesterday
Think I learned pretty good
We'll see we'll see if we can get a quick whim at Shoshana. I feel like we should be able to finish this challenge this week
Today tomorrow should be enough
Spent about a million dollars for one pair of shoes
Okay, so this is what annoys me.
I'm not gonna get too tilted on this right away,
but I queued up for five seconds, I'm in Platinum 3,
and I immediately queued into a master rank player.
That doesn't make any sense.
Why is matchmaking so broken? That just doesn't make any sense why is matchmaking so broken that just doesn't make sense if
Private if the secret MMR is the reason then that shit doesn't work properly like I should not be queuing into master in five seconds
From plat 3 it there's just no excuse ever
Doing these challenges is making me really realize how broken matchmaking is.
Cause I don't mind playing against great players,
it's just like when I'm trying to do a funny meme challenge
and I queue into like three master Cathy slash Skippies
in a row, it does kind of kill my mood a little bit.
All Lambie gets his bots now because his MMR is too high.
He's getting more bots than usual?
Yeah, like, well, again, I understand there's private, there's like the secret MMR.
And that, I'll factor that in to some extent.
But...ugh, I want to keep my draw here, but I just need I
Need different stuff if we have any chance here. I need to completely send this back
I need gunslingers and PSA it's there we go like my matchups have not changed. It's it's it's subjective
I'm not like keeping it all in a spreadsheet. I'm just going off of like what I'm noticing as I go, but
But I'm not keeping it all on a spreadsheet. I'm just going off of what I'm noticing as I go. But my matchups have not changed as my rank has changed.
I've gone from diamond one,
and obviously I was master for a bunch of months in a row,
that diamond one master zone.
Now I'm in platinum three and the matchups feel identical.
It feels like your rank doesn't even impact your matchups.
I'm exaggerating, but it's like your rank doesn't...
It at least doesn't impact it half as much as it should.
I'm gonna give up the heart fear.
I maybe am getting slightly easier matchups, but in Platinum 3, I should play against mostly
Platinum players and lower diamond players, right?
And I won't complain if I wait two or three minutes and then get a matchup because then I understand
it's just you know, it's just making sure you don't wait too long, but like
Correct me if I'm wrong isn't the standard even in the biggest games in the world
The standard is that you might have to queue up for a few minutes, right?
like obviously the faster queue up the better but like
In the reality of the world where you need to like have a little time to set up a match
Like it's pretty standard even in like apex legends or something like you still might wait two minutes, right?
Like your counter-strike or these like, you know
I'm pretty sure waiting a few minutes is not like oh my god your game sucks isn't that just kind of standard?
So I feel like it should only be giving me weird matchups if I've waited at least like two minutes
But okay well I'm glad it's not just me I'll probably
Today I don't know today's ambassador meeting there's probably gonna be a lot of
new new ambassador intro stuff, but
If there's a chance, I'll try to bring it up as like hey
Not day like I think the thing is we've talked so much about day one that there needs to be a separate conversation
To be like hey, I hate to be I hate to be that guy, but matchmaking is broken on the other days, too
On the other days, too On the other days, too
I know we need more players for better matchmaking, but it feels like
it feels like there is enough players that you can match up master players mostly against like diamond one and
above and then like if you're mid diamond you're getting you know you
should get a range of like two or three ranks in either direction right I mean, it's just like no wonder casual players keep bouncing because like they're getting
queued into the best players in the game.
I guess it's fine if Parallel doesn't have a problem with no casual players sticking until months from now,
But like, if they're okay with it,
then I guess it's all good.
The funding's good, everyone's fine.
But like, we have like a perfect storm of things
pushing casual players away from this game right now.
And it doesn't have to be this way.
Like, the animation speeds and the loading speeds being bad is one issue and then
the matchmaking is the other issue and those two things together it's just kind
of like kryptonite for casuals which is by the way the main user base we need
now yeah Nomad I mean you were queuing into you're literally a brand new player
yeah you're you're queuing into to like what like diamond players I?
Know that there are platinum players in this game
I'm not expecting I understand we don't have like a full set of like bronze bronze to gold but like
New play you should never queue into someone above platinum until you're like in platinum
And plat yeah, I mean plat plat's not too high because the game
Anyway, this is why this is why it's annoying to queue into master players at my meme deck because we can't really do much
I mean I could try to play it out, but we have no AOEs
I don't know I just maybe I just need to be patient But it just feels like the matchmaking being this way like it's frustrating me, and I have thousands of hours
I mean I have at least a thousand hours in parallel and I have like
more thousands than I want to admit in like on chain card games and just digital card game like
I'm very used to this shit, and I still find it reasonably irritating
But if they're really working on it and the new system is gonna be better than that's I guess that's all I can really ask for
I'm just I am itching for things to be changed to enable casual players to have fun. I'm itching for that
Because like that to me that's where
the entire game is like at the point of like once we have casual players having fun and
like that player base is increasing in size then everything else is gonna get better.
Every single other thing. And I think everything else is gonna start, I think everything else
we have is like pretty much plateaued until we fix the casual issue now, and it's fixable
It's not like copium the game is doomed. It can't be fixed
It's actually very fixable, and I think they are working on it, which is good. I
just hope that can be like the absolute top priority because I
don't think there's much more juice to be squeezed from like even more competitive focus or any of the other stuff like new
sets like none of that's really gonna make the difference until these very
fixable issues for casual players get fixed and honestly this is maybe this is
where all the the best on chain games are at is like maybe off the grid I
don't know Nomad you could tell me you don't have to answer by the way if you're lurking
Please feel free to keep lurking
But maybe off the grid like that that's been a problem for me like I would be in I would be a casual off the grid
Player, but I was getting farmed by sweats way too hard
And I literally have like
Talented friends who will carry me, but it's just even even though I have friends who are willing to carry me and stuff
It's still just no fun if I can't get at least like some
Some fights where I'm playing against someone else around my skill level right?
And it's not fair. It's not fair at all
But if I go play counter-strike even as as bad as I am, I can go play in Dust 2 lobbies,
and I will get at least some decent matchups.
Like, I can play Counter-Strike,
and I am the worst player of all time,
but I still can win a round now and then,
because I get paired against other absolute noobs.
Yeah, bots, I mean, bots can be okay for tutorials,
but like, I'm talking about if I wanted to play
I need 20 hours that are mostly good matchups, you know?
I don't know if adventure mode would,
I'm not sure, adventure mode would definitely help,
but I feel like adventure mode,
I feel like just better matchmaking.
Yeah, not casual friendly, right? so I think it's the same thing and off the grid as it is in parallel
And it's probably the same in other games. Maybe as well. I'm not sure what else like the best on chain games right this second
I've been pretty tunnel visioned on parallel. I'm trying to start paying more attention
Okay, by the way. We could actually win this I should try to win this we got a Poisoner to set up we
got a shard yeah sounds good bro we got a shard I think I'm just gonna shard
first next turn maybe three plus one is pretty good I mean I could double PS8
this and just kill it and deny them the defender though. That's the other thing I could do
When in doubt though you got to play shard first
I think maybe it's the whole space that's in this place
But it's just like these games are not casual friendly and like I think parallel is getting it parallel can fix it though like
The thing is FPS can be tough like the chicken-and-the-egg problem of if your FPS is full of sweats
You know lower skill players to get in so you can start to pair them with other low skill players like that's really hard in an FPS because you need to have like 20 people
in a game or whatever maybe not but you have to like I mean off the grid is like
teams of three and there's like 12 teams right I mean you need like anywhere from
10 to 40 people for an FPS 3rd person shooter F or T either way first or third
person yeah I can't tell excited to excited to hear that we got to get him up to speed
You got to be the coach again Quinto now that I'm back in my now that I'm in meme mode
We need you to be the guy who's good at the game
King was up man. Love the Goku emote
But yeah, I think, I mean, as long as it's a high priority, then that's cool. It's just, yeah, I don't know.
I think parallel, as a card game, it's fixable.
I think it's hard to convince people business-wise for this, but the answer is let people wait longer for matches.
Maybe this is what I'll talk about during the meeting
or I'll bring up during the ambassador meeting.
It's just like, I accept that it's not
an easy problem to solve,
but I've seen that games will often do
the exact wrong thing, which is to put bots in the queue
or otherwise artificially increase queue times.
There is no substitute for queuing players
into other players that are at least somewhat closer
Like you're better off making people wait five minutes
and then giving them great matchups
than having them wait two or three minutes.
Like I'm pretty fucking convinced of that.
I don't really need to draw, I need to set up my my I have nothing in my waist is the problem for ruin tinker
Don't know do you guys agree like there's a limit where the queue time is too long
but do you guys agree that usually it's better like
Maybe five minutes is a bit of a stretch like it's better to have people wait like three
or four minutes and get a good match,
than give them like an un, a lot,
give them like the wrong match, but it's faster, right?
Like people are willing to wait longer
than gaming companies realize, I feel like.
I'm kind of lost on this ramble,
so I'm not sure the best play there.
Bad positioning, flux. I'm just trying to on this ramble so I'm not sure the best play there. Bad positioning, flux.
I'm just trying to ramble right now.
Matchmaking sucks. Bottom line line that's okay we'll make do how we doing
we're doing pretty good how do I seem how do I seem right now guys do I seem
good do I seem like I'm in a good zone I'm good right sexy I'm trying a different kind of weed than usual. I'm just gonna be real. And I
think it's better for stream. I'm trying a certain kind of edible weed. I think the smoking
messes up my voice and people think I'm high as hell but it's not really what's going on.
Well no, cause like, when I get stoned people think I'm like oh I'm
so high I can't but it's not what's happening it's just the smoking messes
up my voice and people think like wow flux you're so roasted and then it's
like awkward because it's like wow the streams not as good but it's literally
just my voice gets messed up from smoking even edibles do it sometimes though. There's like a certain kind of edible
Won't get too much into details on twitch. It's all legal though. It's all above the board you can get at a dispensary
Anyway, Veean said they but yeah, it's working
I'm feeling good right now, but I also sound good
Just like I might have found what I needed
Veean said they were third partying the matchmaking. I mean it can't be... I don't
want to be mean. With all due respect it can't be much worse than it is right now.
It can't be much worse than it is right now so bring it on. It's probably just a
lack of players even at the high end you can get matched against
other masters and the huge skill gap is still there.
I mean I saw this like if like when I was in master people everyone wants me to like
not say this but like it's just a fact that if I queue into Lambi or Manos or Diesel or
whoever I know that I'm outmatched.
If I'm if I'm at my absolute best, locked in, playing the deck
as well as I can, practicing for weeks,
then I can kind of keep up.
But I felt that way in Master, like, you know,
and I think there's people who are lower skilled than me
who are in Masters sometimes.
I'm not gonna name names,
so I imagine they're even more outmatched.
But I think there's at least a basic thing of like,
Platinum 3, I shouldn't queue into a Master Player in 5 to 10 seconds. That's
so extreme, you know? And in a general sense, like, Platinum players should
mostly match into... If I'm Plat 3, I should match into players around Gold 1
up to like Diamond 5, right? There's like a certain natural range. And anything outside of that range should only happen
if I'm waiting two or three minutes at least, you know?
To me, that feels like common sense,
but it also doesn't seem like that's how it's operating,
but hopefully if they make it third party,
I think we just need to kind of start over on matchmaking.
However it works now feels really broken
Maybe I'm not being charitable enough
Let's try to set up the Poisoner Maybe I'm not being charitable enough on how hard it is with the current size of the player base the player base isn't
Huge, but I feel like it's not that small
But hey if it sounds like if if they really are doing a bunch of stuff
to try to fix it then it sounds like it's already being addressed so maybe I
don't have much to worry about but okay here just trying to chip away at stuff stuff. Also setting up a Poisoner. Seems fine. Destroy my own shit. Doesn't matter which
one it is. Actually I could recast the Artifact Appraiser I guess. Vibes has less players.
Yeah, no that's a good example, Jeremy. Like in Vibes, to be fair I didn't really climb
Totally not a skill issue, just got too busy.
But it felt like matchups were pretty good in vibes
and they have less players, right?
They have a hard rule of dummy thick and chonk in one pool,
everyone else in another.
Yeah, like, it's almost like Parallel's system
is trying too hard and it's getting it wrongallel's system is trying too hard
and it's getting it wrong.
Like, that's kind of what I'm saying.
Like, if it was just really simple,
if it was all, if it was just really simple,
yo lazy, thank you so much for the raid, man.
Hope you had a fantastic stream.
Love seeing you on your consistent streams, brother.
If it was just like like you never queue into somebody
who's more than like three or four ranks away,
like if you're diamond one
and you can't queue into anyone below diamond four, right?
Master can't queue into anyone below diamond three.
If you're plat one, your range is plat four up to diamond three.
If it was like a hard limit of just three on both directions
that would be better than this in my opinion.
Not that I'm an expert and I clearly don't have all the data in front of me, but to me just a super simple
would be better than this like I'm trying to do meme decks and plat 3 and I'm queuing into masters half the time.
Like there just got to be like I feel like a really simple thing would be better than this like I'm trying to do meme decks and Plat 3 and I'm queuing into masters half the time.
Like there just gotta be like,
I feel like a really simple thing
would be better than this intricate system that is,
this is a complicated system with bad results
whereas like a simple system
might have better results is my perception.
Diesel's been lazy playing a rock on ladder all week.
Diesel's just in his sweat zone.
He's been lazy playing a rock on ladder all week. Diesel's just in his sweat zone. He's fully sweating He's fully sweating I
Told you guys you got to watch out for diesel and he's he's continuing to
Terrorize y'all more and more each week. I told y'all I
Told y'all watch out for this diesel guy. I wasn't kidding
Watch out for this Diesel guy.
Diesel having nightmares with Neve playing a rock.
I have not seen much Neve on the ladder to be fair.
Okay, this could be like actually winnable.
I've been playing this whole game
assuming we're not gonna win,
but we have the Poisoner play set up here.
I do wanna get retired officer down,
The meta is Gaffar right now, bro. Yeah, Quinto thinks it's Gaffar. We're gonna get retired officer down, but we got a, we got a Poisoner.
The meta is Gaffar right now, bro. Yeah, Quinto thinks it's Gaffar.
He was torturing King with Gaffar.
I wanna play the Collateral to clear this,
but then I have to give up one more unit.
Otherwise, I can just play the Gunslinger.
Am I willing to give up one more unit so I can collateral I?
Mean those caches are really valuable, so yeah, probably I hold on let's clear out shit
Yeah, I'll just trade in the art of well. I can trade in yeah the artifact appraiser
You got scammed in the high stakes tournament with the extra prime top-up. Oh you lost you got unlucky or what?
You got scammed in the high stakes tournament with the extra prime top up?
Oh you lost? You got unlucky or what?
Kintel will be streaming again more pretty soon probably.
He's been busy getting our content team all organized.
I think now we're finally done distracting him from his ability to actually play games.
Instead of keeping him in 20 hours a week of content meetings
See I want to play another
Another another unit, but I got a collateral
Wait your neves are destroying Cathy's?
Lose to a brand in the semis?
Kinto, we need more coaching content
and I'm so busy on the memes.
We need, I need you to play as well.
We gotta get you getting coached by all the best players.
We need that saucy content.
If I have someone coach me in plat 3 is that's not gonna slap the same
You're the chosen one now. You have to carry the ring
You're you're Sam you're Sam wise with the ring after Frodo gets locked in with the orcs
I'm probably getting the Lord of the Rings lore super wrong.
Whatever, the end of Two Towers.
Okay, he's able to clear out my Poisoner.
Never seen the Two Towers.
I don't know if I've seen the movies,
even though they're amazing.
I feel like I've seen them,
I don't know if I've seen them front to back.
I read the books a few years ago.
Lord of the Rings lived up to the hype, let me tell you.
If it wasn't competitive season,
you wouldn't be queuing, not enjoying the meta right now.
I mean, I think everyone, even the team agrees.
Like if you talk to VeeN, he'll say like,
he knows the meta doesn't feel great right now,
but it's just a question of like,
I'm paraphrasing, so if I'm getting this wrong, the details are my fault, not Veean.
If anything wrong, it's because I got it wrong.
But basically, he feels like deception is what we need to fix the meta basically, and
anything we do until deception, the next set in case anyone doesn't know is called deception and so we need to set
Well, we can talk about this tomorrow by the way guys tomorrow 2 o'clock est
Veean and Fitch will be on my stream. I get the next I get the next team interview. Hooray for me
So we'll talk we can ask him about this stuff tomorrow we can get more but from what I understand yeah, it's like
Deception the next set is gonna be the big fix for the current issues in the
meta and until now or between here and there is kind of like a band-aid we can
change things to improve it but it's just gonna be you know making it better
until deception and so the the question is like how to change as little as
possible basically until deception but also not to have a suffering if the meta is too bad it's like that's the balance but
yeah I don't like the meta either right now we all need we all I think everyone
is most people would probably agree some good earlier board clears would be the
key yo we're ready to uni this guy down, bro. Poisoner, his Teramech.
The thing is, we're getting,
the leak is that we're getting a 10, or sorry,
we're getting a four-mana AOE board clear, right?
I wonder if four-mana is gonna be early enough even,
I mean, I've thought about it with these Uni challenges.
Imagine if I was able to,
imagine, by the way, such clutch poisoners.
Imagine I was able to run some AOE in these decks
and how much better I'd do against Skippy
All right, bye bye, Terramac. Nice try.
Now, Terra is their next threat, is when they can get a Terra down somehow.
Think we might want to get the drone tinker cooking. Do I need more draws? What do I need to do here?
I need to refill the board. Well, we do have unstable shield generator that card is so unplayable
Yeah, he raw dog the taramec what was he thinking like real talk
What was he thinking playing that taramec the poisoner was on the board it had no chance of surviving
Bro is 0% gonna make it. I
Thought I could play another card. I'm in ruins. I
Oh, I thought I could play another card.
I thought I could, I would have banked this.
I thought I could play it this turn.
That's okay, we're setting up for the lady.
Oh, speak of the beautiful Ingrid
with the increased attack as well.
Wait, we're gonna see unstable shield generators
Really? I thought it was unplayable
Actually Shoshana, but clearly Uni. I mean if he can't tell that it's Uni by now. He's asleep at the wheel
But I don't know, the thing about unstable shield generators, it doesn't really answer
The problem is units get the three health around turn two.
Like Marco buffs its Bannermans, or a vehicle buffs its vehicles, Machinist buffs.
Cathari units just have three health starting on turn two.
So I wasn't sure if shield generator was even playable.
Yo, wait, why did he target the four?
Why wouldn't you target the six?
Cause it heals itself or something
It is playable, but only on turn two on the play huh, okay?
Interesting well we just ingrated with a three here three triggers
Wait what's the last unit I actually played integrated with a three here three triggers
well what's the last unit i actually played was the poisoner
take the six six Take the 6-6. Make him discard two, oops.
Create two units in my hand.
I think the last unit I played was Poisoner, right?
I could set it up where I play the retired officer
this turn and then cast another one,
but now it's just Ingrid right now.
This is Curse Hell Turf now. Let's Ingrid. So, gain control.
Thanks for the stat buff.
You Nishishana, second try, while rambling my face off as well.
Just make it to Inrid baby make it to
ingrid baby there we go all right i knew we would uh do better today yesterday it took us three hours
to get the first win it was 88 adhq was so bad there we go all right we're gonna upgrade. Update this thing. Update the screen. There we go.
Take a note. Got all my timestamps written down.
There we go, baby. There we go. Okay.
Alright, here's my highly professional method for updating my thing.
Give me the thing, give me the color.
See, I do, don't get me wrong,
obviously there's a lot of RNG,
this is the fun thing, like after, like when I played the ADHQ deck and I lost games for three hours,
like I learned a lot of things, so now with the other one, like...
I feel like one reason ADHQ took so long wasn't just luck, it was also like...
I was figuring out how to build and pilot these wacky lists.
I'm like learning how to build off meta decks, basically.
They're never gonna be as good as on meta,
but still, I'm learning how to make weird shit work better.
Once we have more casual players, intermediate players,
and there's more cards in the game and stuff,
I feel like I'm gonna be able to,
I'm on a new training arc.
I was training to be a Spike style player,
super sweaty competitive.
Now I'm training to be a Johnny.
I just need to get good at building wacky shit
The game's not quite ready, but we're getting there.
Don't mess up the check mark.
The check marks are always very messed up.
I'm not saying these decks are gonna be good,
but now, dude, we're still gonna include that in the video.
I won a game a few games later,
so we're gonna show the fail against Lanby,
but it's still really good,
and then we're gonna show the win.
It's gonna be a really good video.
We're still gonna gonna I have to ask
him actually to get his his POV from his stream I should ask him right now before
I forget I should literally DM him right now real quick
Let me do that before I forget.
Where is his server? I lost Lambo's server.
Oh, it's up higher than I realized.
Any chance I could get the stream VOD from when you played against me and my sabotage
only deck would be awesome to... would be cool to cut in one of your reactions into the Paragon,
into the YouTube video for the deck.
All right, hopefully he's down.
All right. Yo, AF Gaming, what's up dude? Who's up next?
What do y'all want me to do next?
We're gonna save John and Neve for the end.
The mini boss, the final mini boss is John and the final boss is Niv, because Niv can't play the ladies.
Bring it without the shield just to make you slightly wrong. Do it. Do it. Do it.
Maybe I'll take down the workshop deck now. Maybe now I'll do the easy one.
Maybe now I'll do the easy one. Maybe now I'll do the easy one.
Just jump back in with workshop.
Maybe now, maybe now is the time.
Maybe we just do an easy workshop deck.
You finally got back in thanks to Bavette.
Nice, Bavette is the ultimate person to help with stuff.
Look at your deck lists for the open when it starts.
Augum without unstable shield gen.
Hey, if you do it, I will tip my hat to you.
I will be excited for you.
Okay, we gotta do it eventually,
so let's just yeet the workshop deck.
What's, is there a good uni deck right now?
Is there one in particular?
Does anyone have a list list I guess I can
Everyone gave up on hacker right hackers bad now
Right if we're gonna do hacker on any of these we could do hacker on the workshop
Does anyone even run hacker now though like hackers bad now right at five it's completely dead
Maybe I'll just run a standard list. We'll find out when the lists are revealed. Okay. Let's put in all the usual stuff
This will be the just in theory. This will be the quick and easy win
Just put in all the obvious stuff
Armored rummaging give me a drone printer
Kind of just run it the same as last time.
No, I haven't tried it yet.
You know, we're gonna need to use Mimic Protocol
That might be the final boss deck,
will be the Mimic Protocol.
Cause that makes sense, like we won't have an end game.
We won't have the ladies for Neve.
So we might have to use Mimic Protocol
I mean, I'll toss it into this deck for fun.
We need something to do to make this one interesting.
How many do I run though?
If I only run one, I'm not gonna draw it, so I'll run two.
So how does Neve work, Speed?
What's Neve's downside? What is Neve not how does Neve work speed what's Neve's downside what is Neve
not able to do when you build a deck what is her restriction speaking of well
how do we build around mimic protocol if we want to do mimic protocol
On my deck to be as big six cost okay great. How much do the ladies cost?
How much do those ladies cost though?
I mean we have some the ladies cost eight so that's that's exactly why we can't play them in the neve
Yeah, pop quiz you did it you win
Yeah, I'm not sure how to build for for mimic protocol like adhq we did big stat vehicles
Asia we maxed out the draw to a ludicrous degree
Asia we maxed out the draw to a ludicrous degree
Catherine we took advantage of Kathy's plus one plus one buff so there's a really like unit Kathy uni unit Kathy
We could do a hacker list but hacker like we could do hacker
hackers just You're's kinda bad now.
Need enough card draw to have a full hand.
Let's do mimic protocol just to make the workshop interesting
because we've all seen uni workshop
a million times in general.
Yeah, we'll just have tons of draw then,
We've got that covered pretty much.
I don't know if we want to run the shard.
I already got Wong, right?
This is five relics, five effects? That's fine.
Akara's cool with the drone printer and stuff. He could fit into this deck okay.
I'm down to run an Akara.
We can have fun with it, really.
Maybe toss in some Alvaros.
Do I wanna run any coins?
So this one we won't do the retired officer stat buff stuff.
The thing, I'm trying to avoid doing the same list
for all 15, I have started to settle into like,
there's actually a cool uni strategy
okay, I think retired officer is the new hacker.
This is some weird off meta shit for sure.
Like by definition with where my streams at this month
with meme, I guess it's meme March,
kind of late on the branding there.
But if you coin or shard, but especially like if you,
the point is if you ramp into the retired officer on three
and then you can draw a lot after that,
that plus one plus one buff actually stacks up pretty good.
And then if you can later in the match,
you get a muscle down or something else,
if you can basically play your uni deck as a control deck
where your win condition is just to
play multiple stat buff guys and then keep drawing. If you can basically play your uni deck as a control deck, where your win condition is just to play
multiple stat buff guys and then keep drawing.
It's a terrible strategy in this current meta
where aggro decks are able to go so fast,
but it is a strategy that at least can be played
and can be piloted around.
And so that's been the strategy I've been leaning into
for this challenge more and more,
but we won't do it on this one.
We'll do a mimic meme version for the workshop.
Exactly, Officer has a good stat line.
You're getting, I mean, it's the same stat line
as the hacker, funny enough.
So you're literally, or the old,
when the hacker used to be four.
So like, you're literally getting a four, five for four
on three with continued benefit for the rest of the game.
It's not as extreme or as RNG heavy as the hacker was, but...
It is, you know what I mean? It's like, it's one of those things where it's like, it's not good, but there's something there.
But yeah, if we're doing the mimic and the sanctuary and stuff, then that strategy doesn't really make sense.
So now I need to build it differently, which we already have an okay thing here.
Maybe I'll do the ruin...
I'll probably just stick with the Ruin Tinker or Master Poisoner package.
Tinker or Master Poisoner package.
It's just easier to run all three and bank the ones I don't need with this type of list.
And then we could toss in Alvaros just for more early game.
I've already thought through most of these Universal cards now, so now I don't have to
scroll through them as much as I did in the first few decks.
Anything else I'm not thinking of though?
I mean, our Curve is fine for the ones and the twos.
I guess I could run a few coins or no snitchings.
I mean, all we got to do is survive enough, and then we have juggernaut value
So maybe no snitchings to make it
We have the shard. I don't know this deck does not scream coins to me
I don't have like a clear coins would be good to get the lady out sooner ladies, but aside from that we have shard
But aside from that we have shard. I think we just run three no snitching and that's pretty solid
I think we just run three no snitchings, and then that's pretty solid
We have a good spread for Wong to get multiple draws
We could tech in the memento I guess since we are going wide with the poisoners if we're doing triple ruin
Tinkerer triple poisoner at that point a memento just makes sense
Yeah, low-key. I think I'm learning how to build decks
This challenge is forcing me to not,
these challenges in general are forcing me
to not be afraid to lose and to just try more ideas faster.
I feel like I'm really starting, I'm seeing,
I've heard people describe this to me in different games
and now I'm seeing it where I'm seeing these cards
not as individual cards but more as packages of cards.
It's like, oh, Ruin Tinkerers, Poisoners, Memento,
plus a lot of early game units.
That's like a removal package that you can run in a deck
in a few different forms, right?
Or like, you know, running at least two coins,
plus the retired officers in a deck that has a lot of draw.
Okay, the stat buff package.
I'm learning how to see them in different,
and of course all these uni decks have the clear payoff
Like building with only uni cards especially,
it's such a simplified version of deck building.
It's like, I don't know, some interesting stuff.
Freed Outlaws is a really fun design, but I don't know.
I'd be down to try it in one of these lists.
Maybe not this one though.
What Paragons have I done so far?
So far we've done those five.
And we're about to crush this workshop deck.
We're gonna try to make Mimic work.
I think this is gonna work.
But yeah, so far, Neus, Asio, Shoshanna, ADHQ, and Catherine.
Okay. All right, let's, let's,
I didn't make room for the Memento yet.
How am I gonna make room here?
Ikara does kind of work though.
No, I don't wanna take out Ikara.
I could cut to one mimic,
but I just, I'm stubbornly trying to not do that.
We can just run one less no snitching
Or one less collateral maybe am I ever gonna be I'm never gonna beat skippy with any of these fucking uni decks
Anyway, I'll just run one collateral
I'll just run one collateral
Sanctuary not terrible either because it also has reduced cost because it's not from your deck. Oh, yeah, that's true
So that synergizes with mimic
Okay, let's give it a try
All right, we're on the right page you guys gotta yell at me if I forget if I like leave it on the wrong page
or something Add the remaining egg yolk and mix. I
Car was okay a car is kind of weird because if he's good you're already probably winning
Like if you have a ton of units you're already probably ahead
So he's stronger the further ahead you are which is kind of bad, right?
It's almost the opposite.
He's not like meaningfully enabling you to win more games, right?
He's just like when you're already ahead,
he can maybe like finish it a little faster
or get around like defender stuff,
but it just seems super pointless. We go first, no one drops.
Send it all back I think and look for the one drops Up against adhq. All right, this will be interesting
Probably want to try to hold on to the wongs we can have that card drawn five just bank one of these ruin tinkerers
And bank one of these ruin tinkerers and bank one of these ruin tinkerers let's take a look help against board wipes I don't see how You are done. Three, Wong on four.
Not a bad start. Defeat shall triumph.
Surveying hostile terrorists.
Okay, they're a little bit wide.
I mean, Defender Juggernaut goes super hard in a in two turns as long as they don't have a Poisoner I
Think we bank collateral I
Don't think we can hold it right we really don't know then again. I'm being stupid
We just bank poison or never mind this will be good if they play the logistics mastery at some point
I mean I get three tokens they clear all three
three but then next turn I get a defender
But then next turn I get a defender
it's alright next turns the big turn Wong plus defender juggernaut that'll go
super hard if you know they're gonna clear and you don't have lethal he can get you there
I mean sure I think a car is pretty bad though. He's way too win more
Cards that are only good when you're already ahead are usually not worth running. I think a car is like the most that
He might work in a deck now and then but
He's just kind of a bad card.
It'd be amazing if it was the opposite.
Deal damage based on how many units your opponent has. That'd be crazy.
Deal one damage to your opponent's face for each unit they have on the board.
Like, if it did that, it'd be fucking insanely cracked counterplay.
That would help you finish a game if you're close they'd have to play around it then it'd be sick but that might be way too strong oh he's
so wide so early all we can do is wong into a big juggernaut and hope it stops him. Hope it slows him down enough.
There's really no other play here.
I mean, if he doesn't have a Poisoner, if he doesn't have a Snitch, like maybe.
We'll take some more draw okay
here's open here's open that works oh hey mimic I don't know if we have a time to play this though there's our mimic Okay. Evasive. Just gonna run into him.
Yeah, okay. Foofai, Foofai, get out my ship.
Researcher Memento and then next turn slam the Mimic protocol.
Let's see what I'm gonna draw. and Well, it's not amazing, but maybe we could win this.
It doesn't feel like we're too bad yet.
If the knife stays on the board, that'll be big. making them think making them think that's good Brottle! I'm gonna go for the mimic right we just got to go for it we're still not even too far behind we kill the yeah this is actually okay
I'm gonna go for the mimic right we just got to go for it we're still not even too far behind we kill the yeah this is actually okay
I'm gonna go for the mimic right we just got to go for it we're still not even too far behind we kill the yeah this is actually okay
I'm gonna go for the mimic right we just got to go for it we're still not even too far behind we kill the play this, but we gotta go for the mimic, right? We just gotta go for it.
We're still not even too far behind. We kill the... yeah, this is actually okay.
King, I've never been able to set up that command.
Do you know how it works? How do I enable that?
I like wanna... people try to use it and I feel bad. Let me play one more card first. Gunslinger because we
get a free clear here. Yeah I use stream elements and nightbot. All right mimic
protocol I've never played this card before hold that thought. Never played this card before, let's do it.
That was actually really good.
Schematars, Scout Bike, bro.
That was actually really good Minic Protocol.
No vehicle. But dude, we got Logistics Mastery off of that.
Yeah, that was really good.
The thing is, this has the knife on it,
so I actually want it to die soon,
but I also want to clear stuff efficiently
We might we might win this look at this it might actually win
That was a good mimic protocol, and there's the lady dude
There's the lady yeah true artillery juggernaut hits for four with logistics mastery artillery juggernaut hits for four. Oh no
That's okay, though. This can protect our shard that that protects our shard is what it does that would have otherwise killed our shard
I'll try that after this game King go to chat bot and then enable it. I'll go to I'll try that right after this game
I'll give it a try dude., we can absolutely win this one.
Holy crap, the comeback. Only thing is, they haven't played their paragon yet, so they've
got some battle-ready shenanigans ready. They do have some shenanigans ready. But we can
steal this with Ingrid, yeah? Oh no, it's Freitas, nevermind. Okay, well we can still use Freitas.
We get four, this is not Uni, so we get three triggers.
Play a unit with energy cost four or less from your waste.
Nothing too crazy with that.
Thing is I want to trade this in anyway, get the knife moving.
Alright, I'll play a unit just to get wider.
I think I see what I wanna do here.
Let's... play Ruin Tinkerer. Let's draw first. Oh, that silence is perfect. That's all I needed. Okay, let's play a ruin tinker. I brought a friend.
Healing self is awfully tempting, but let's buff.
I could heal self, but let's just go board control, right?
Wanna silence this before I kill it.
I could put the knife on the six six and go face, but let's protect the ruin tinkerer because this knife is our win condition now
Only it almost gets everything, but we get a token and we get Freitas
I could have used the artillery juggernaut I messed messed up actually that's okay though make an armed make an armed
This is still good. We make an armed. We just make an armed
Ruin tinker first oh hold on
That works that still works another mimic protocol
And if you have multiple they actually stack.
Huh, so you can have the double discount. Down to one.
Huh. Well that's interesting.
Yeah, I mean artillery could have cleared the 3-2 sabotage guy.
As long as they can't wipe the whole board, which we can just put the knife on the armed token.
Although this does die to some other stuff, right?
Well, they're probably not running solitary confinement or whatever.
No, I want to put it on Freitas though, because I want the armed to actually clear things. I want to get value trades with the armed.
I think this is how I want to do it.
We just got to finish them off quick.
What else can they play here?
What else can they play here?
What else can they play here? Is that it? Oh, hell yeah. Okay. See here cooking. Let's put the ruin tinkerer down first
Then let's play the mimic here we go
Second mimic protocol now everything is discounted by two
Get another logistics mastery as well because why not get a triumph because why not I?
Might actually need the no snitching we know they're running logistics and saboteur would clear it I'd have to bank triumph
to keep both of these though that's a pretty big commitment I can silence this
but what if they play a third vindicator you know I think we actually bank the triumph as ridiculous as that looks just to hold on to the two answers because I have a
It's left on my turn right on their turn
7 8 12 13 14 like we're so close to lethal.
I guess I had to play Sabo to threaten lethal to be fair.
But I think holding it's the move.
Just deny them as much of the damage they can do as possible.
Maybe we should have gone all in.
The scary thing here is them battle readying me to face
Battle-readying me to face because they still have their paragon. This is so close. Oh
because they still have their paragon.
Did I leave a mana floating I could have I could have done a a cache I could have done a cache
All right, that's fine that's good because it's not it's not killing me
all I need to do is to stall at this point anything that doesn't kill me
it's their turn so my cards are on the right side because ruin tinker is silly
8 So it's their turn so my cards are on the right side because Ruin Tinker is silly.
8, 12, 15. I'm one off damn lethal. Nevermind, we got lethal.
How does this give me lethal?
It actually doesn't give me lethal does it?
Fucking hell, maybe they'll just concede.
Ingrid unless was freight is the last thing I played no right
What's the last unit that I played ruined tinker
Yeah, we're one turn off of lethal then so
Make them discard they can't have lethal now. They're going down to one card, so they can't get lethal now.
We win. We got him. Bro, maybe I'm figuring out the uni-dex. Well then again, this- I mean it's workshop, but I'm running a wacky mimic version.
Mimic is way cooler than I expected.
Mimic is way cooler than I even expected.
Mimic is so cooler than I even expected. Mimic is so much cooler than I expected.
GG. Yeah, Mimic is way cooler than I expected.
I mean that was kind of a perfect storm. We got logistics mastery both times, like we high-rolled it, but still.
The way that they stack is actually
quite interesting so running the second one is pretty cool damn man that was way
cooler than I expected that was way cooler than I expected all right all
right all right challenge is starting to go better when I started this yesterday
and I didn't win the first game for three hours with adhq. I was like, oh my god
Is this I is this way worse than I realize like is it I didn't think it was gonna be this way
so I'm really relieved that now it's a
Now it's not like that anymore. Okay, I
Think I had to work out some of my bad ideas now. Now. I do understand how to pilot uni better
Also, we're running better.
Makes you think you could run it in a standard Neve deck. No, that immediately made me feel like
Mimic Protocol was playable.
And I've been so skeptical of that card
from the moment it was announced.
I never even really paid attention to it.
It's an interesting card. It's like giving you more outs, right? It's one of it. Now I'm like, oh. It's an interesting card.
It's like giving you more outs, right?
It's one of those cards where it's like,
if you need outs and you don't have anything
that's really gonna give you a chance to win,
it expands your access to stuff.
Like you can access their deck, kind of.
You need to be in a spot where something
from their deck can save you and then you need to be in a spot where something from their deck
can save you and then you need to get it.
I'm not sure the best way to think about it.
Maybe a better way to think about it is just
when you get to the late game and you have cards
that are no longer needed, Mimic recycles those.
So cards that are designed for the first three to five turns
of the game and you're past that phase,
you can recycle them into new things.
So it's kind of like a way to get more value
from cards that are no longer relevant in the match.
Maybe that's a better way to think about it.
Cause then the RNG is a little bit less punishing.
Yeah, you don't want to rely on it to save your ass,
but it's a way to recycle and get more value.
Okay. I like, I like that.
All right. so that was...
All right, wasn't too difficult.
We had to do it at some point.
Fun chance to play Mimic.
Now I wanna play Mimic in more of the decks.
Now I wanna play Mimic in I want to play mimic and more of the decks Now I want to play mimic and more of the decks
All right hold on save this out
That's six games down nine games to go and
The hundred percent run is really cool. This is a good. This is a really good flow for stream, so I'm happy with this
This is my first time trying to do this format. I'm very happy that it's a
Because some of these challenges they
They're very like it's a lot of prep, and then it's like two hours, and it's over so it's nice
this is something that it's it's a
It's good to have something like this. I can kind of have on the back burner all week whenever
I just want to be streaming.
It's like, okay, we have the main challenge.
The Paragon, you can play cards from the waste multiple times.
How do we really build around Lemmy? You get a token at the start of the game. He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold. He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold. He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold.
He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold.
He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold.
He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold.
He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold.
He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold.
He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold.
He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold.
He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold.
He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold.
He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold. He's got a lot of gold, and he's got a lot of gold. back from the waste or no no it's maximum cost of five right yeah I mean
Lemmy is fine we could we could potentially run Lemmy I don't know we
haven't done a shroud one yet though we've done every parallel except for
shroud maybe we tackle new dawn or brand I feel like one of those could be next
we're not gonna have any access to the Singularity, except for through Brand.
Because Brand at least can summon his token.
And make more tokens, right?
Because New Dawn can't put anything into the Singularity.
I'll tell you what, let me think for a minute guys.
I'm going to take my first break of the day.
Let me take a quick BRB break and run a few ads.
And then when I get back back we will decide what's next
I'm leaning towards brand y'all can try to convince me. Otherwise, I'm leaning towards brand. I'll be right back BRB I will make a The 1.5cm x 2cm I will make a Add the remaining cream and mix.
Add the remaining cream and mix. . Divide the dough into 8 equal parts I will make a シュー Yeah, no singularity is gonna be tough.
Brrrr, I'm a little cold. Hold on.
Okay, let's do, let's do let's do brand let's do brand
let's do our first shroud so yeah brand we just want to clear a lot of units and
then we want to play brand right that's pretty much where we're at
with brand clear a bunch of units play brand get brand value I'm gonna eat a
few leftover burgers here while we do this Um. So I want to do retired officer in the brand deck?
Hmm. We can do stat buffs with the hammer.
We can't do that much to utilize Brand, so.
Because we want to run coins for Brand, and we can also use them for retired officer
Maybe some Cozo run Cozo for fun
Yeah, we got to run the three coins in this one for sure. Maybe shard as well.
Probably do vengeful ally and then run the artifact appraisers. Hmm.
I'm trying to think of any way to build this a little differently. similar as I figure out the tricks. Yeah, could just use more units really.
I guess we can play Alvaro.
We're not running that many spells.
It's just coins and PS8s.
Cause this curve is good.
This 10-1 drops, 10-2 drops is good This 10 one drops 10 two drops is good, I think oh
Belts you're so right Okay.
Eating while deck building is not a good combo.
But I skipped breakfast this morning so this
is what I get. Just eating these burgers just raw not not raw but without
condiments rather undressed.
i'm not even sure i don't think this is optimized but i'm trying to do like a
few different cards here and there
to keep things interesting
Food is important. I agree. I
All right, let's try it. the path is open to you I'm going to eat a little bit of this. I'm going to eat a little bit of this. I'm going to eat a little bit of this.
I'm going to eat a little bit of this.
I'm going to eat a little bit of this.
I'm going to eat a little bit of this.
I'm going to eat a little bit of this.
I'm going to eat a little bit of this.
I'm going to eat a little bit of this.
I'm going to eat a little bit of this.
I'm going to eat a little bit of this.
I'm going to eat a little bit of this.
I'm going to eat a little bit of this. I'm going to eat a little go for this.
Alright. Alright, we can do this. Good.
Okay, that's reasonably good. Okay. Okay, they bank a mana and do nothing.
This hand is not really set up for vengeful ally.
We can bank that maybe coin researcher next turn for the big stat line.
We have enough cards though to be fair. I could also 2 plus 1 or save the coin for brand and just play the the 2.
A few different ways to get there.
Few different ways to get there interesting
Probably just set up for the coin brand. Oh, okay. So clear the board and the next turn
double coin brand on three. That'll work. That'll work. What do I bank? Probably just
bank the ASV at that point. Although Defender can cover brand to be fair. I could play ASV to put shield on brand. It should be amazing
But not really necessary against Kathy
Let's just do the one plus one
This is fine. This is good
for tired officer retired officer
I never did that a stream elements thing Marcolians
That's too complicated I gotta figure it out later alright, he's got second wave soldier
Just slam brand they might follow up with Kathy
Just got a slam brand and then next term we can retire it officer after that.
Let me just bank the console here, it's not really.
I don't have the cards to use with it really right now.
That's all right, yeah, just bank that.
Just do it man, brand on three.
And I still haveed that. Just do it, man. Brand on three. And I still have card draw.
I have a lot of good stuff.
Get a win streak going with these uni decks. Okay.
This seems fine. Oh, okay. Well, that's good. That's fine. They can clear brand
then we get tokens. That's good. This is good. They're out of cards. This is great. This
is great. We're way ahead. I need them to not find triumph. I wonder if they actually
clear brand here. They probably just want to go face right? Okay. I don't know what they're doing
They're going face for sure
Getting wider is definitely tempting I guess brand kills the Bannerman.
Three plus one is very tempting, but buffing the stats.
The thing is we already have the card advantage.
We don't need to really, retired officer is nice.
We don't have to like prioritize that.
Okay, we don't really need Sanctuary.
But we can hold on to it. Vengeful Ally is not doing too much. Am I crazy? Here, stop the ramp.
Gunslinger is doing absolutely nothing here.
My phone is ringing with spam.
Gunslinger is doing nothing. I think I'm in a sanctuary. It's just it's doing nothing
Gunslinger's doing nothing. I think I'm in a sanctuary. It's just doing nothing.
But then I could have just played freaking retired officer maybe
That Matt that turn feels like it ended up being a mess
That turn feels like it ended up being a total mess
He still basically got no cards, but he's got his Kathy the fleet shall triumph what he's got is Kathy
We're losing to them just being wide like they've accomplished nothing except just being wide.
That's all they needed to do though.
Oh no the 2-2 is going to clear Brand right?
Cathy just hit Brand. Oh baby! That's all we needed. Okay, no no we're good now. Forget
the molding, we're good. Sheesh, I want to play retired officer. Or I can double two. to so kill the three three here kill shit kill shit kill shit now
screw it bro I'm gonna play retired officer sanctuary first I mean defenders Sanctuary first. Defenders not even too bad.
Oh my god. I guess get rid of Alvaro. That's wrong. That's probably super wrong.
Whatever. Slam retired officer.
We're pretty far ahead. I mean he's topdecking. He's gonna need some
Let me get the Brand win on the first try.
That would actually be huge.
I mean, Brand on turn three goes a long way.
The other ones are gonna be harder.
Shroud, the other two are, yeah.
New Dawn is basically no Paragon,
and then Neve is actively
Actively gonna be miserable but Brand at least we were able to get a nice match there
Three wins in a row doing a uni challenge. Oh my camera was in the wrong spot that time oops
oops Supposed to be here. Oh well
Forgot to switch it back after the deck building
skippy with the ladies would be crazy
yeah i guess we get the musters repeatedly skippy could be pretty good
Hold on though, one thing at a time.
Let's get this one updated.
Yeah, we're on a roll now.
At first I was struggling, now I can't stop winning.
Yeah, Skippy will actually be pretty good, although...
By the time we pull off the Lady Musters once or twice, I bet you they'll concede before we get to do anything, but...
Skippy does have a lot of potential. Could be Skippy.
Oh man, am I past the halfway point? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7 out of 15? No. One more win and then we're over halfway.
Well we could do Skippy. I nothing nothing against that Here's the thing. We're definitely a few of them some of these have like really
interesting things we can do like adhq Cathy
Those have like pretty specific things now. We're getting to the ones where it's like I guess Nehemiah. We can use a lot of defenders
Skippy we can run some extra musters.
Aroak, I don't know what upgrades we have
So it's like, John we can try to do a Memento combo
We still have some stuff we can do.
I have to try not to make every deck be the same now.
It's tempting to start making them all the same
Yeah, a rock should be fun. All right. Let's do let's do let's do skippy next. I'm down. Let's do skippy
Let's do skippy we'll still put it. Oh, let me filter
Still put in the basic shell here, so armored vehicle with researchers.
We know we need PS8s and gunslingers.
We know we need our wong.
We're probably gonna want our harf and our glaive.
We need our ladies. Need our wong, we're probably gonna want our harf and our glaive.
Uh, most likely at least one drone printer.
Shard is pretty automatic as well. Probably not coins in this one though.
We have no need to coin out.
Unless we wanna do, we don't have to do,
yeah, we can like not do retired officers this time maybe.
We'll do, oh but retired officer is a muster.
Nevermind, we're totally gonna do the musters.
No, no, in that case we will run coins.
Maybe only two though, not three.
We'll run triple retired officer
Yeah, all the musters now, so we can actually run frontline operatives
Run one muscle, and then we have our hammers at the high end. We'll run two and
Then we're already looking pretty good
As far as one drops there's no other musters, right? Just the gunslinger.
So we'll toss in the appraisers.
Okay, what else do we have for cool musters?
We can definitely run diplos.
What other musters do we not usually run,
but we could run for this?
Me as man sir is actually interesting because it would be like after you play skippy
His muster is already active so he would finish his muster and then no more would activate right I
Think we can run him me as man, sir
Hey stooge, what's up, man parallels doing pretty well?
More players than a year ago. Yeah a lot more than a year ago. I think for sure
You have some upgrades that are not bad, okay? I'm not sure how many upgrades we have we can do a rock after this one
We could run deep cover mole in one of these maybe not this one
Should I toss in a few poisoners? We're not that wide. I guess we're wide enough. I put in drone hunter by mistake
I meant to put in drone printer
Yeah, I mean we could just toss in the two poisoners and this
probably works like skippy goes really well with all the stat buff stuff so we
have the triple frontline operative the triple the triple retired officer and
then one of the muscle this this can work waiting for a doctor appointment
damn yeah that's super boring it's the nice mix of boring and also anxiety because it's like you have to go see the doctor.
Perfect blend. How am I doing? I'm doing fine man, just making content.
On my content grind. Working pretty hard with Paragonz now.
To build up a really cool YouTube channel over here so just doing lots of
good stuff with these guys lots of good parallel content probably expand into
some other on chain games soon go from there so you know cooking cooking
cooking cooking this probably works This probably works
We don't have room for no snitching for no snitching in this one. We have frontline operatives and stuff
Can't wait for the augun deck bit. It's almost ready
Check out realms of all area add it to my list
Okay, I think this will work.
It's on Epic, that's a bonus for sure.
Yeah, honestly, I got addicted to the game Hades, so for a while I was just playing way
too much Hades now now I'm
locked back in I got way too addicted to Hades all right
uniskippy uniskippy here we go here we go yeah Hades is so freaking good I did
about a hundred runs how many did it take to finish well I beat my first run like 30 40 runs in so probably like 30 hours 20 30 hours
But then I kept playing postgame for a while
It's still fun, but it did start it definitely starts slowing down
I could push for like my highest heat run so far was like 14 heat or 13. I think 13
So it'd be fun to try to push it farther, but admittedly it's pretty time-consuming
So I might I might I might just let it rest for now
now it's the game I'll play like if I'm just like
Playing my switch casually if I'm like on a bus or something like that
but I like kind of want to keep grinding it but it uh...
It is time consuming and I'm not gonna get any content out of it so I should probably hold myself back.
I don't know how many hours I put in like 80, 90 hours.
It's so tempting just to keep grinding to unlock every little thing.
But I think I reached that point of diminishing returns maybe.
I'm sure I'll go back to it at some point. Super fun.
Okay they go first, they're Cathy.
We just need our early game removals so
slingers and PS8s are pretty much what I'm looking for
It's hard to play shard when you're going second is my thought
Yeah Hades is great. I don't know.
I want to play a little more Hades.
I feel like I want to, I want to, I'm like close to, I kind of want to finish the post
I feel like I was getting close
Okay, at least to the main postgame like the epilogue or whatever
Shit I'm like not addicted anymore, but now I want to play more I got to resist the addiction I guess we'll go for broke we'll just go for Go for the strategy and see if it works. What type of game. It's a rogue light I'm sure I have a thing.
What's up crit? Like this, this is Hades
this is what Hades looks like you're running around fighting a bunch of
monsters going from room to room you're trying to get to the end of the run
before before you die run out of lives trying to get through it and beat the
boss before you die, run out of lives, trying to get through it and beat the boss.
But it's like semi-randomized
and you do it over and over again.
It's not like a campaign where you play level,
like different levels each time.
It's like semi-randomized runs of like a thing.
It's like kind of like running a dungeon in an MMO
and trying to get different loot and stuff.
He's low on cards, but up on everything else.
I do have two coins here,
which is kind of sick if we can make it work.
Probably just coin out a researcher to start things off
At least it's got good stats. We can't get wide yet, but if I draw maybe I can get wide and set up the Poisoner
Not gonna lie. It's a pretty bad start
Not gonna lie, kinda bad.
Not the best way to start it. I should have started thinking about Hades.
Now I want to play Hades.
What have I done to myself
I mean he plays Cathy next turn after that he could run out of stuff to do but
But he's got a lot of cards in the board
he's got a lot of cards in the board
The as man sir doesn't affect Kathy unfortunately
All I can really do is 2 plus 2 which accomplishes so little
We really don't have much we can do here
we can coin out the ASV this is probably gonna be a
this is not looking winnable
they're way too far ahead.
Here's where we need our four damage, or four mana rather,
Here's where we need that four mana AOE. the We're cooked.
I don't think we need to...
I know we're cooked, but I want to play one more turn.
I'm timmying. I'm playing another turn when I don't need to. the Get off my ship.
If Kathy hits the 5-6 and they don't play anything else from hand, and then some other stuff works out in my favor somehow...
That one's a bust. That one's a bust.
Run it back. Greetings. Greetings from Mars.
This time we got him though.
I really think retired officer on three is what this deck wants to do.
Above all else retired officer on three so it it's
so it They go first again.
We'll cheese it a little bit.
Be greedy with the mulligan. Okay, keep the PS8 launcher,
but I'm really looking for a coin. Am I being too greedy? I keep a gunslinger as well, I
think. Nah, just keep a PS8. Believe, believe, believe, believe. Should have kept that gunslinger bruh.
not gonna spend my whole turn clearing the 1-1 not worth it so not worth it
I'm not the only one running stat buffs.
I don't actually like this card.
We are running it in this deck to try to maximize Skippy, but I don't actually like this one.
I think Retired Officer is the good stat buff card.
Maybe Muscle in a much slower meta.
Not really though, just retired officer.
I can clear the board here, or I can play Harf.
Clear board or play Harf.
Against Cathy, Harf is really good.
It'll block rally and cry.
Yeah, probably just play hard
I'm just gonna give up on an ingrid when it's this early in the game. Just gonna give it up
Dead must be it is what it is
Could be running smuggled supplies
to pull the ladies out of the bank later,
but then it starts getting a little bit,
I do like smuggled supplies.
It's hard to find room for it in the deck,
but you just gotta cut one card for it.
I mean honestly smuggled supplies would fit into uni decks pretty well
the ladies are prime candidate Hmm.
Am I gonna need the draw?
Probably not as much as I need the PSA, you know? Oh th
th It's kind of bad better understanding of the game.
I'm going to try to get a little bit of a better understanding of the game.
I'm going to try to get a little bit of a better understanding of the game.
I'm going to try to get a little bit of a better understanding of the game.
I'm going to try to get a little bit of a better understanding of the game. Interesting. shall triumph I
Can four plus two with the coin
Glaive maybe then again. I need to PSA right
PSA this hit it with the retired officer, and then if Kathy hits the retired officer, maybe we have some
It's not looking good. Oh good I say glaive
what I what I what am I doing
I should have played the glaive I don't know I said glaive and I played retired officer
I really just want to play retired officer
as much as I can apparently.
I don't know, if Cathy doesn't go face here,
like maybe there's a chance.
We've been, Cathy, going second against Cathy
seems quite miserable for this deck.
I mean, we're not running the no snitching,
so we kind of really struggle against these vindicators,
which he happens to be playing 2-0
Yeah, glaive wouldn't help with that All right GG Get off my ship.
I don't have to long to see this is over.
GG. Alright, we really don't want to play against Cathy with this one. With any of these. We never want to play against Cathy.
With these slower Unilists.
Maybe wait one minute and try to summon a better matchup
I just want to queue up again right away though That's a long enough wait. Add the remaining cream and mix. Greetings.
Greetings. Skippy mirror skippy mirror I don't know if you ever want to play against skippy is uni because we don't have the board clears the the time rises the time rises That's fucking terrible, okay. Great. My luck has disappeared out the window,
it's jumped out the window, it's gone.
My luck is dead and buried.
Jump out the window after it?
I'm not high enough up, I'll just sprain an ankle.
It'll be neither safe nor poetic,
it'll just be somewhere in the middle.
What's up Metapod, welcome in.
Yeah, what a great hand, what a great hand,
What a great hand, what a great hand, what a great freaking draw.
What can you even say? What can you even say?
Alright, well, no ladies this time.
All right, well no ladies this time if we somehow can pull this out it'll be on the
stat buffing strategy for sure.
AFK check, AFK check immediately.
Well, yeah, we can't buff our units like our tokens, so that's definitely a thing. All right.
Yeah we, I think, did we even put relic removal on this list?
I think I said we just don't beat Skippy so I'm not even gonna put the relic removal in
I'm pretty sure that's what I said
As a rule of thumb our uni decks
Mostly I'll just show them you want to see here you go see it see it for yourself, buddy
See the ladies. I'm not hiding any info
gaze upon the ladies Like without the board clear is I just don't know how we can try to beat Skippy, you know?
At least with Cathy, if we get ahead early, if they have a bad start, we can like, take the board, you know?
But with Skippy, even then, triumph, they get back in.
I mean, if we really get ahead on board early and they brick, then sure, but...
Skippy is our worst I think and at least
with Kathy it ends quickly if if they just like win with ease it just ends
quickly whereas skippy games drag on skippy games just drag on and on and on
and on you know what I mean
now this feels like okay cool very nice very nice very nice very nice
cleared Mega Man x5 last night very nice new stage order collects everything minimal revisits utilizing both hunters
that's awesome that sounds pretty freaking cool
uh sounds like a good night.
I don't know why I'm not conceding, it's just so early, it feels like it's too early to concede.
But what does it even mean to be too early to concede?
What does it even really mean? What is early?
Yeah, that's awesome Metapod. We've just been...
Chippin' away at the challenge.
Gotta win one more game, and then I'm above halfway.
One more win, I'm above halfway. One more win and then above halfway. I
want to queue up right again but man we don't want that matchup we should
probably wait a minute I hate waiting. I just want to always click on the next
thing. Gotta wait for one song. One song worth. Oh, never mind. He's letting us go
Cancel the song cancel the song. We're good GGs
Song canceled already gotta get over halfway
okay, new dawn is a good opponent maybe
i mean there's a scheming issue but
at least we can be more aggressive than them
and the stat buff strategy can actually work
the stat buff strategy can actually
work really well, this can be, this can be good
this could be good, this can be good this could be good this could be solid
This could be good and solid and also good we can do this I
Feel it coming. I feel a wind coming on
When number eight I feel it coming on this is it this is it
Win number eight, I feel it coming on.
I go first. This is it. This is good. Keep the research keep keep the retired officer. I can just keep these four
This is not a bad hand. I don't know about poison urge just keep the other four
That's really good actually
Only thing is what do I bank which one of these I guess we bank the researcher actually because drone printer is perfect against shroud against
New Dawn in particular yeah bank the researcher this is good
He's like, oh man, another skippy, this sucks.
He has no idea whatsoever. I stand watch.
I can't do anything except stick to the plan.
Stick to the plan, we have a very clear plan.
We have a very clear plan here.
We have a very clear plan.
The plan is exceptionally clear.
I stand watch. Clearly planned. clearly planned
fucking hell that's not good
whatever stick to the plan I could I could play the ASV
I could play the ASV instead of the drone printer
either way we're such a bad spot
Either way, we're such a bad spot.
I guess I'll play the unit.
Just the double Steward is not it.
So many Shroud matchups come down to like, please, like how many or how few Stewards
can you get started with,
you know? This is like the worst of the worst case. And our list isn't running no snitchings. yeah
well some might be an early gg
they just got the god draw here the
the that I can try to do. All I can do is play retired officer.
You're manually typing a deck code. Wouldn't it be easier to just build the deck in the deck builder then manually typing the code that sounds really hard
Why not just go to the deck builder and add the cards in that way
If you know what the cards are that'd be a lot easier
Yeah, we're screwed we can't we just can't get through the double steward opener. He's just got the nuts. We can't get through it
Can't get through it can't get through it so annoying this could have been a good draw too like we're set up
now a little bit that's so annoying well Wong I guess what Wong we can clear one
of them maybe it's not actually over yet Maybe it's not actually over yet
Maybe it's not actually over. I guess we don't really need the shard now
So bank shard play Wong suit we get maybe it's not actually over
If long above one of these if we get at least two
Can I take the hammer is that a bad thing we're close enough to be able to play the hammer okay he self-buffed well that's it then nevermind GG he
self-buffed he went ahead and self-buffed. He went ahead and self-buffed. He has, the opponent has lethal now. Okay.
I tried everything in my power. There was nothing worked at all. Yeah, that was just,
that's just, that could happen. That's just, there's nothing we have to change. That's just
his bad luck. All I could do is I could run no snitching. That's the only thing that would help in that spot a little bit.
No way he just GG'd me. I wouldn't mind the rematch though he's not going to draw that way every time
give me it back just give me it back just give me it back
just give me it back please.
I can feel the skippy win coming.
This win will take us over halfway on the challenge, and I'll be really happy about that.
15 wins with 15 different versions of a meme deck
is a good challenge, this is good.
I was worried it would be too slow or too long
or too random or too this, too that,
but it's actually quite nice.
It's gonna take about 10 to 15 hours of stream time. It's fun. I'm getting ideas
This is this is going I would say this is going a bit better than expected the video is gonna be ridiculous though
It's gonna be like two hours plus of matches with an intro
That's okay, though probably posted on my personal channel want to start posting on there again
All part of the master plan to become the best youtuber that I know
Become I don't even want to say on chain gaming anymore just wanna
just wanna do my thing and not even put labels on it but I guess the best on
chain gaming youtuber So true, and that's the end. Up against Neve Could have kept the shard I guess but had to look for our one drops right? Okay got retired officer
I actually want to bank operative play sanctuary, and then we have an answer for a turn one steward
That's how I really want to do this
And then I just don't use sanctuary yet
Just don't use it yet GM slug GM This is a promising start.
Okay, this is feeling decent.
See, I think they're waiting to set up a thing.
They're waiting to set up a Singularity're waiting to set up a singularity steward thing
I'm not gonna play the oh never more. They could be waiting if they are waiting. They'll get it off of the token I
Was gonna say I won't play the gunslinger
I still probably won't but I can actually discard the gunslinger okay. I see what I need to do now
Shady merchant is funny, but irrelevant
We do this and then if they end up with a 2-4 steward we can just still clear it next turn
Play the slow game get to the retired officer
Alright, big retired officers coming up.
At this point I'm pretty sure they're not holding back a steward play. pretty easy here
he's got so many cards and he's playing like a slow defense strategy
But that's okay cuz I'm just biting for time anyway, I mean we got the stat buff set up that's for sure
So I play retired officer and they get the clear for free
But I still think it's worth it just to buff the rest of the deck keep banking the front lines These aren't very good. Even with skippy. I just think it's just not worth
Like losing the tempo playing a 2-2 for 2 isn't worth having the top two units in your deck get plus one plus one
Cuz like in theory it's like oh, it's 4-4 for two
But you might bank the units that you draw you might not play them till way later and
so the tempo loss is too much sometimes it's like you played a hired gun but
worse I just don't like it at all but I think this is actually I'm playing in
such me me decks that I can't really test it in other ways but I think this
is actually underrated I think this is actually underrated. I
Think this is actually underrated
At least like it has potential for future for future metas when aggro decks are a little less dominant when tempo is a little less
Less of a factor I mean tempo is always one of the main factors, but when value
Goes up and tempo goes down a little bit in terms of what matters
Then I think retired officer becomes really interesting
Plus then I get to play it with idiot hammer and it gets really interesting
Idiot hammer turns into you know five six nine ten damage. It gets pretty nuts. They're passing turn four. This is wild
This is wild I could three plus two, but man. I really want to play the next retired officer
Let's keep building up these like this and then next turn play the muscle
It's just we would wouldn't mind going wider to be fair. This is not bad if I just bank PSA
That's a lot more tempo right now which is relevant
We can still play the muscle next turn we
just won't play the second officer quite as soon my gut says get wide okay draw
first though let's try to stop making the mistake of drawing out of order
We can hold on to her now.
He's clearly holding Dominions and Stewies, probably thought you were playing actual
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
He's going for the Stewie dominion line thinking I'm playing actual skippy.
The thing is I played around his stewies in the early couple of turns and I'm just like,
I don't know what he's doing.
But yeah, that does seem kind of obvious now. He removes my
researcher which is such a well-intentioned choice but it doesn't
matter too much for me if I lose that. I guess it just is the biggest stat line on
the board. I mean it does deny me some draws for sure but we have Freitas now.
We'll see if he gets scheming in time. He probably will
We just play muscle now though. Look at this artifact appraiser, dude
Well, we have me as man sir to threaten obviously depends on coins and stuff But if we can block Neve for a turn, that'll be cool
Hilarious we're still gonna bank. I'm just gonna slam the muscle.
I actually want him to use some Dominions and take some damage.
So I can finish him with my hammers now that we haven't drawn them too early.
This kind of deck really wants to run smuggled supplies though.
I think I'm actually stumbling into a legit off meta build
that could work not at optimal ranks.
As we've already discussed,
Agro Cathy and Skippy are probably still gonna
be dominating everything.
But like there's something strangely viable here
where you run a lot of stat buffs.
I wouldn't do it as a uni deck if I was doing it for real.
But you run a lot of stat buffs and you run the hammers
And then you can run smuggled supplies to get them out of the bank sometimes
Although to be fair if it's in the bank, you don't get the stat buffs. Maybe smuggled supplies doesn't make sense
Is a thing that makes sense to me
Is a thing that makes sense to me
Like triple hammer plus scanner probe and then run tons of stat buffs and just kind of stall
And then get some damage during the match and finish them with a juiced up battle ready
Yeah, my skippy is juiced up now right I I've got muscle, I've got retired officer on there and a frontline.
See here's the thing, like this strategy now you can get big diplomat, like these defenders, like diplomat works really well with this strategy.
There's totally something here. The early game is just tough to like play a stall strategy these days.
Okay, they have six energy so far, they did their Dominion thing.
I mean, I could just play Skippy now. Yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense. Skippy and then
Cunning Diplomat would go really hard. And then we're close to Freitas is the thing. I mean,
next turn I could spam drone tokens.
I really do wanna, all right, let's skip you, let's skip you, let's skip you.
I have gunslinger, should I hit face first?
No, no, no, you don't have to feel bad.
You don't have to feel bad, it's okay.
So Skippy triggers muscle and retired officer
And then rummaging research or muster which does nothing in this case
Was that a trip was that three or yeah? That's a lot so now now we
Oh shit, I want to play Diplo. I didn't want to bank. Oh, what do I bank though?
I guess like I can bank this retired officer now I
Do not have to be greedy. We have enough buffs, and I can play this
Dude this actually works with skippy the uni is unnecessary
But stat deck dude stat buff skippy actually makes sense
It's not good, but it actually makes sense.
Yo, Chad, isn't this fun?
Dude, this actually works though.
This is a deck archetype that I just realized exists.
Like this is actually an archetype.
Imagine this, but not Uni.
And then you could use like Cathari cards
and actually make it like a thing.
Cause Skippy really does, this is really interesting.
Unfortunately, this is a problem.
But I don't have a clear answer to the issue.
We actually could play ingrid, but we have nothing to we have no activations
We actually could play Ingrid, but we have nothing to...
We're so close though yeah 13 7 Wong
14 8 hammer okay the hammer can trade into the steward if that's how we have to do it
You see what I mean though. I mean two of these is lethal
Do I have to hammer the steward or do I not need to? I could
a Wong and then miasmancer. I should probably just trade this into this but I need to win before Neve. I need this to hit face man. Maybe I just trade this into this.
But I need to win before Neve.
I need this to hit face, man.
Maybe I just send this face.
I don't know what the best way to try to deal with this is.
I'm gonna try not the slowest way. think if I stall too much here a defender is good
I'm a little out of it. I'm I hopefully this is okay. I don't I don't think I'm missing anything too crazy
Yeah, look at that gunslinger. I
Don't really know what to do now. I'm banking the drone printer. I'm panicking here gunslinger lots of stats
One damage to anything send it face at this point here you go
How are they all buffed so much well I played retired officer and
Muscle and then I played skippy and repeated the musters the thing is this is a uni deck because we're doing the uni challenge
But I just accidentally discovered a new archetype
He does have neve though I could have I could have played me as Mancer and blocked this, I wasn't sure
I've kind of stumbled into a new archetype, which is that you can use the stat buff stuff
with Skippy and it's kind of crazy. Just looks unfair, hey. platform calibration complete
Just looks unfair hey well I mean this has evasive Wong is gonna live though we could have lethal next turn right like if neve kills this and then
singularity Stewart kills this
We can't quite nah. They got a Defender though, and this turns off Battle Ready.
So I don't think we have Lethal next turn, no.
I think the Defender blocks Lethal.
Although there is Ingrid to deal 4 damage to it.
I think the Defender blocks us from having Lethal.
Also, he's just defending, so we definitely don't have Lethal. I think the defender blocks us from having lethal.
Also, he's just defending, so we definitely don't have lethal.
No, because if I use me as Mancer,
then we lose battle ready.
So I can't use battle ready and me as man sir to get around defender
unless someone thinks I'm wrong we can Ingrid though but we don't get much out
of it too much value now so me as man sir kill Hera. I just gotta kill their big,
their big stuff, right? I can PSA this.
I think, oh, but we don't get stuff from,
All right, all right, hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
I'm gonna do it this way.
I don't mean like, I don't know what to do. I'm gonna lose
I don't mean it like that. I just mean I'm not sure what's optimal
This is kind of confusing. I'm just gonna do it this way. I guess we're not gonna bank
Yeah, I've never had to make these decisions before I kind of fucked up with the bank though, I guess I'm just not banking I
I fucked up with the bank though.
I guess I'm just not banking.
I mean, I'm maintaining, I'm controlling the board.
It's just weird, like we don't have anything, uh, with Ingrid.
We don't really have much to go with, right?
Like we only had one unit on board.
We're through the neve anyway
It's just a defender that stopped me from having as easy of a it's all right. We'll get there oh
That's a thing that's fair, but they probably take the hammer right
Banking is overrated well
Yeah, I don't know if that's what I'm saying okay, bye bye hammer
That's kind of funny. It's the first time you've seen someone not pick Freitas right?
Not pick one of the ladies
They just need an erasure, and we're not feeling very good
They just need an erasure
GM Arithmos It's still not lethal because of defender, but yeah draw for
Win from there. Yeah, I agree. I agree with that sentiment
I mean, shard could help Ingrid,
but I guess just bank the shard.
Gotta clear the defender.
We got a nice 15 attack hammer in my hand.
I think I actually found a new archetype.
There's gotta be a way to build this
that actually makes some sense.
This is a hilarious endgame type of position where
your units are this buffed the idea of
using skippy to double all your retired
officers and muscle charges is actually
crazy cool it's actually crazy.
Well, I mean, you have to make it to the end of a long match to get to this point, so it's
supposed to be unfair by now.
Like 9-6 Defender draw card for two.
The stat buff decks make Diplomat go super hard.
Like even Diplo is a good one even just with frontline operative although. I think frontlines bad
But like retired officer I don't even know bro. It's crazy a
Dear I can't give you anything
Yeah, buck it wouldn't be easy. I don't think this is like a good strategy
But I think you could build a functional deck that does this,
just not the Uni version.
I mean, Uni's working for us here to be fair,
but I feel like you could build this without the Uni.
I mean, hey, if you wanna do Uni Skippy,
this is the way, I don't know,
maybe we should just play some more games
with this deck to try it, but.
Oh no, they got a Poisoner.
They can only attack twice though.
I think we still have lethal.
Or am I one off of lethal? I might be one off of lethal actually.
They can't attack again, this can't attack right? Yeah.
10 plus 15, I'm close to lethal.
We have Ingrid I guess, we can just steal this.
Surprise, it keeps the buffs
What keeps the buffs it loses the buffs if it goes out of my deck or my hand if I draw it to my hand
It keeps the buffs, but if it does anything else it loses the buffs
I'm not even sure like if they steal the card. I think they they get a copy right when they treachery so even that wouldn't keep the buffs
Yeah, they put they played it with a Dira from my deck and it kept the buffs. Yeah, that's interesting
Okay, so we can to we can play both of these and then ingrid
Yeah, Puma exactly We can play both of these and then Ingrid. We have the coins.
I don't think we need Poisoner anymore.
What a wild position to be in.
Has anyone ever been in this position before? I think not.
I'll take that Poisoner, thank you very much.
Uh, discard two. discard too
i am out of cards to be fair so i can die to fatigue only one two
uh... descend it face right doesn't even matter now.
Dude, this is the craziest game I've ever played. Yeah, Giant Poison her right in the face, too It is the craziest one I ever played
Triumph does nothing triumph does absolutely nothing
Dude, this is the craziest thing I've ever seen
We got some clips here for sure.
I don't even know where to begin with clipping and shipping this one honestly
All right GG brother GG you lost to uni skippy your worst nightmare has come true
Let's see if this turns on oh
My goodness what a game man. What a game gee-gees
For anyone who's like why do these caught? What's the point Flux? I think you see the point now. Like that's so fun. G G's brother. G G's. Gotta update the list. G G's man.
I definitely want to fool around with that idea in the future of a skippy stat buff deck. Like that's the next thing I wanna try, you know?
Retweeted with a screenshot for the culture.
Thank you, I appreciate that, Arithmos.
Yeah, we've been cooking, we've been doing
I mean, ADHD took like three hours,
and everything since then has been pretty doable.
I think ADHD, I just had to learn all the stuff
Okay, skippy. That was a good call on skippy shout out speed demon. That was a good call with skippy
Good idea to run skippy next
Is that good enough that's fine. That's a fine check mark.
Good luck with Gafar. Should we try Gafar next?
Yeah, Jon is second to last. Jon second to last, Niv last.
What do you think, Arithmo? Should we do Gafar next?
The thing is, we can't pacify anything.
So Gafar, we have no way to build around his abilities, right?
So we could just run another stat buff deck.
We won't have the Skippy double buff tech, but...
That's what I've kind of resolved, or that's what I'm...
That's what I've landed on is the stat buff strategies,
like, pretty much the best one I can think of.
That's the best bad uni strategy.
I can all, oh, true boots.
We can do the boots thing.
Okay, that's a much better idea.
This is why you guys gotta help me.
Gafar can pacify by himself,
but only if they really mess up.
It could happen, but only if they really mess up.
All right, let's update this.
Like they would have to target a different one, right? Yeah, I mean if we can get the boots on Gafar, that's the
combo. So we'll do it. We'll do it. We have to shield him as well. Is Gafar shielded by
default? Yeah, yeah. You wait till mid game, you play them both together. I get it. I get
it. Okay. Okay. Okay. More than halfway than halfway there guys more than halfway there. Let's work on Gaffar
Let's work on Gaffar actually, this is a good tweet opportunity. I should tweet that I'm halfway there
You don't even know well, it's a bad idea if you care about your ranks, but this is why you have me
I'm like the evil Knievel.
Of, you know, the jackass of parallel. I dive headfirst into a pool of sharks so you don't have to.
Here, hold on. I'm tweeting. Before we do the Gafar challenge.
Where did I, hold on, I'll put it on screen, hold on.
Halfway there. Halfway there on the 100% universal deck challenge.
And let me tell you, stat buff uni skippy goes hard AF. Unironically want to build stat buff,
Skippy decks after this challenge.
I'll just leave that part out.
This is one of those one-liners all you need.
This is one of those, if you know, you know.
If you know, you know. That's right. IYKYK, right? If you know, you know.
Is that, that's right, right?
Not heart, not Harfaf, Heartaf.
Halfway there on the hundred percent
universal deck challenge stat buff uni skippy goes hard AF if you know you know
I'll just tag lofty lofty nose I'll tag you guys it this is random.
Put this deck list at the top of the priming Skippy page. That's actually a really good challenge.
If we, putting a meme deck on the top
of one of the priming pages
is actually a really good framing for a challenge.
Off the thing about that.
That's actually kind of a brilliant idea.
And yeah, thank you, Rhythmos.
boost brother thank you for that alright guys let's work on Gaffar let's work on
Gaffar let's see here let's work on Gaffar
on Gaffar okay let's do it so filter out all the good cards right away there they
go they're gone I guess I need to craft the boots what are they actually called
swift foot something or I'm making up a name in my head Swift no shit light foot light foot light foot treads. That's it
We'll run three of them just to be safe what can go wrong and
Then we need to run defenders in general
These are our defenders. We haven't run a Desmond yet. I forgot Desmond existed. We've been doing all these uni decks
This actually gives more units defenders.
That kind of fits the strategy.
But yeah, run the ASVs and the Diplos,
and we could also run some high-end help.
That's a lot of defenders right there.
Stoic Cell Sword doesn't exist.
Okay, hold on. add in all of our
usual our usual the core the core of the uni experience that we've developed
do is Gafar a stat buff kind of guy? I mean he's buffing his units with pacify
So, I don't know if we run the stat buff package probably just the retired officers because they're legitimately really good
For these lists, maybe just run those
Oh from early payload hits?
I probably have a bunch of random payload cards
in my wallet that I'm not even thinking about.
I'm just playing virtuals these days
while I'm on the meme challenges, so.
Painter's good in Gaffar, okay.
Uh, did I put Wong in? Not yet. I
Okay early game we got PS8 we got gunslingers we got painters
Do we run coins in this list? I'm not so sure. We have the shard.
Drone printer to buff them drones. Yeah, we got one drone printer. I could add a second one.
Well, hold on. If we want to do Poisoner, let's do this. Let's do the triple Ruin Tinkerer.
We can honestly run three Poisoners. We can make this list really simple.
We just might need more two drops.
the artifact appraisers have been okay.
We can go kind of with the wide,
we can do the like more wide unit heavy early game
for Gafar since he needs stuff to buff anyway.
And then we have the mid game
Ruin Tinker or Poisoner package.
Retired Officer isn't actually gonna fit into this list
then like we'll just buff them on the boards.
We can take out the retired officers.
Then we have three spots left.
We haven't put the ladies in yet.
So put in Freydis, put in Ingrid.
And then that leaves us one spot.
We have Shard, I don't know about coins
Without the retired officer. We don't have a huge reason to run coin
We could run some no snitching although. We'd have to make more room to run more than one oh
Sanctuary though because we're running the artifact appraisers then we have three relics
We have drone printer shard and sanctuary
I mean this is already close. We don't have all varro in here
But that's okay because we're running more of our defender units or units are a little different than usual I
Mean this could I know I'm covering it up this could this could work
It's a very early game curve.
but that'll go well with the poisoners and stuff later.
We just gotta survive and have a wide enough board.
Like ideally we get a poisoner situation
to keep the board on our side.
Like get wide early, Poisoner on four,
Something like that is our optimal situation.
And we do have a lot of draw as well.
Try using Wayfinder for your payload pulls yet.
Bro, I gotta do my Wayfinder.
Like I have to fund my wallet on wayfinder or whatever.
What's that thing you can,
what are those beginner quests?
You just reminded me of this super randomly.
What is the wallet missions?
Why can I, I can only, hold on. Too many things cooking? No, that's, I get it. Hold on
Too many things cooking no that's I get it
That's me Now I'm getting hella distracted. That's okay. I have this cool pay. I can just go to this page whenever I'm distracted
Problem is if I don't do this stuff right when I think about it, then I never end up getting to it.
But, new flux is focused during streams, because we do challenges.
This is old flux getting distracted.
I gotta look at my wallet missions for a second
Newest collab coming up at laserscapes you you're doing a collab
I'm here. I am interested, but I'm distracted hold on
So this is my can I put this on screen hold on?
Yeah, so this is my wayfinder hot real quick distraction. This is my, can I put this on screen? Hold on. Yeah, so this is my Wayfinder, hold on, real quick distraction. This is my Wayfinder.
I'm curious about that Puma, although I'm gonna get
too sidetracked if I look at it right now, so I'm not gonna look yet.
Um, if anyone hasn't signed up yet,
you can sign up for Wayfinder, it's the chat GPT
of, of, of, of blockchain. Y'all are already signed up. You can sign up for Wayfinder. It's the chat GPT of
Blockchain y'all are already signed up
Okay, so I made a wallet there's community missions and there's wallet missions
Wait real quick before we do the Gaffar deck because I'm gonna forget to do this if I don't do this right now Let me let me at least do this connect. I might connect my Twitter
It can you view my posts, okay, that's fine Let me at least do this connect. I'm gonna connect my Twitter.
It can view my posts. Okay, that's fine.
I need to start using Wayfinder when I,
I know I need to make the command.
Intermission, put on music.
["I'm On My Way To The World"]
I started, I ended, I killed a boss, I'm fighting. Intermission real quick while I get distracted. the
intermission real quick like a strike Wayfinder is the chat GPT of blockchains.
It lets you interact on chain.
I should say this better.
Wayfinder lets you interact with blockchains using a chat GPT style LLM wrapper.
Basically do stuff on chain without
Make a to-do list of all the ideas in the last five minutes. That's what I yeah, right? That's what I need
Did I connect I connected my wallet?
I'm already following I got to do my
I should have done this so long ago post about wavefinder
Watch this video and repost. I'll do those later. I already posted just a minute ago
So I need to deposit $10 of ETH into here that's easy
ETH or USDC that's super easy
Such good timing right after claim day.
Okay USDC it said was okay.
Ten dollars. This is it for now. I just want to see if I can get one of them to work
I've been putting this off for so long
So where will I see it when it shows up just like on this page
Refresh balance it'll say 11 bucks in a minute So where will I see it when it shows up? Just like on this page?
Refresh balance, it'll say 11 bucks in a minute.
Okay. I gotta say it's exciting.
I really want access to the second thing now already.
I have to keep going going this page when I refresh
I'm scared of it showing something that it shouldn't
okay so I guess it'll just take a little time to update down here the mission
hasn't completed yet even though I deposited and then it wants soul BNB Arb
Only the first two are required I guess okay, so I just got to send some soul
And I should just do it now that's the only other one I should just do it now then we can go back to what We're doing
Because that's so easy. Here, hold on.
Do I even have any soul in my wallet?
This is the last one. I'm good.
Because I want to be able to use Wayfinder when I'm streaming, like specifically to do stuff like...
Yeah, exactly Puma. That's what I want to be able to do.
If you deposit like 30 Wayfinder... can I do that or do I not
have access that's the only thing do I have access to that like I don't think so
it's my fault for waiting too long yeah cuz I could just do it I think I need to
yeah I need to give it I need to deposit soul and then I'll get access soon yeah
then I'll get access I just got to do this one manually. I think that's all it takes though is once you deposit
It's okay. I just got to send myself some soul real quick from from a centralized exchange. I got this
Well, I'm just gonna do it now though cuz yeah, it'll be really nice to have this in the future
I want to start like when I if I want to I'm just waiting for the day
Which should be soon when I can be like I want to buy this cosmetic wayfinder
Go buy it for me if it costs less than this amount
Having funds I'm pretty sure
I'll be very surprised if they're giving access to people who haven't put funds in yet
That would make no sense. I don't care really but it would make no sense
I'm assuming you have to complete the funding missions to be able to get randomly chosen
You know what I mean like why wouldn't they filter it for that?
like oh you haven't put any money in yet, but
you access anyway that doesn't make sense right I mean a lot of things don't
make sense but I'd be surprised I know it's okay I'm gonna use my centralized
exchange real quick get this done and we'll get back to the gameplay this will
This will be quick and easy.
This will be quick and easy.
Freaking Wayfinder, man. And then you're never gonna get no answer freaking wayfinder man
Oops I'm gonna go. Oops. I don't know what to do. Making that chicken reaction. That's what I can do.
All the stuff you make me think.
Things don't have to be so hard.
Put a block in my fist. In your wickedness I'm trapped. I
Yeah, I can't wait to have wayfinder to do this for me This is it is the last thing I have to do and then wayfinder will do all this for me from now on
Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready for Wayfinder.
I'm ready to have Wayfinder in my life.
Deposit soul, here we go.
Alright I think I did it. Let's see
Hold on give it one more minute. I cut it too close. I was expecting it to refresh to to immediately
I cut it too close. I was expecting it to refresh to to immediately
Now I'll just wait till the wallet missions realize that it's done. Oh, it says they update once per day. Okay, perfect
Perfect perfect perfect. Okay, great
Now I just wait till I get an email that says congratulations. You've been given access to cool stuff
Man, I'm ready. I'm ready, baby
All right back to business
what are we going to do now we got to play the gopher deck
alright gopher deck is locked and loaded
okay we'll do this in one second actually put the music back on
let me go take a quick break
I haven't stood up in like two hours
and then as soon as I get back we'll crush this gopher deck
we're halfway there. We're feeling good
I'll be right back. Okay, BRB real quick All that's to awake and announce Let's go! Sleep long, sleep well
All that's to awake and announce
Stay in shape, this is life
Favorite time, favorite color
Brighter sense, I'm out of my head
Bunch of work, we are forgetting
Rooked outside, it's not our death
Fasting cars, the only trick
To a gas, the final breath
Sleep, sleep long, sleep well
All that's to awake and breath, sleep, sleep well, sleep well, sleep well, always you're awake in hell
Sleep well, sleep well, sleep well, always you're awake in hell
Then I went home, to get my mind off things, I decided to watch television
I decided to watch television.
God said, stop living open in my son.
Subconscious, death was coercion.
Buy and consume and want and need.
Never fall from a trap of greed.
Sleep hard, sleep well. Thought about the sleep well Thought about the middle bit, child's got the falling weight
Thought ahead and looked away, what you do anyway
So choose, opposition for the right, for the attention
Always see the other side, always stay on the mind
Sleep well, sleep well, oh let's go, wake it up
Sleep well, sleep well, oh let's go, wake it up Oh, it's awakening now Say what, say what
Oh, it's awakening now I'm gonna be bit of a I'm a little bit of a I'm a little bit of a
I'm a little bit of a I'm a little bit of a ["Sick Body, Sick Mind"] I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna lie. you're too testable, it's just a matter of time
I... Fuck you! Alright, let's do it. Let's go standing desk.
Let's see if we can get this Gaffar win. This is a weird one, man.
This is a weird one. Let's see if we can do it.
We have time for a few tries on this,
and then I gotta go get ready for the ambassador meeting.
Then I gotta go get ready for the ambassador meeting. Then I gotta go get ready for the ambassador meeting.
Hey Risen, thank you very much for the raid,
Yeah, we'll give this at least one or two tries we'll see how long the first one takes
And then maybe we'll send a raid over to the paragon's Dow channel since they're coaching nomad
Having a coaching session. I'm not sure how long they've been going to be fair, but we'll see what happens
looks like some learning is going on learning is happening new dawn that's a tough one all right this dude this light foot combo I kind of killed the momentum by
going off and doing wayfinder transactions for ten minutes that was my
bad I got to get used to these these streams. But anyway, before all that,
we were talking about the Lightfoot combo.
Bro, the Lightfoot, Wayfinder.
Okay, well, we'll take a quick free win,
but this doesn't count, obviously.
Yeah, Wayfinder, well, it's hard not to get distracted
We're gonna do Wayfinder stuff, too.
I just gotta, I gotta put my things one thing at a time.
One thing at a time, right?
Gotta get one thing done at a time.
Switch my feedback, a nice win count stream.
Thank you for the reminder and thank you for the compliment.
I appreciate both of those things.
We're just, you're missing some serious content
on this other screen, which is that we're gonna play
This combo, moral of the story, this combo is gonna be hard to pull off, I think.
No one is brave enough to try to pull off the Lightfoot combo.
Well, let's let's get this quick bot win and then we'll try it for real.
Laserscape's collab hint?
What, did you DM me the link or something?
Hint you, I'm hinting you,
send me it somewhere where I can look at it
after stream or something.
What do you mean collab hint?
Yeah, DM it to me or something.
Everyone always does this.
They're like, Flux, here's my link in the chat.
I won't send it anywhere else, but here it is in the chat 10 times.
It's always for everyone's reference.
When you guys want to show me cool stuff, DM me.
DM me, me por favor I'm in like the toughest spot of it I'm in a match
for like 42 minutes I'm in the grand finals of worlds and people are like
flux right now please read my poem I'm just saying meet me halfway what
It's a good poem though cool, I'll be honest. I don't know what I'm looking at
I'm just gonna be dead honest. I don't know what I'm looking at.
I don't know how to react. I'm not sure what this is.
It's a bot, stop thinking.
I don't know what that is.
Is that like a 3D printing thing? What is that? I don't know what that is. Is that like a 3D printing thing?
I saw something about this, but I don't know much. I don't know what this is this does look really cool
Is that what it do you hang these on your wall is that what he's making they do look really sick
All right, it's a bot match take our free win as fast as we can Let's get a closer look. You're helping him get animated digital renders?
They look like they'd be really cool card backs.
That's what they look like to me.
They look like card backs
That's what you said yeah, they look like they would be really good card backs I should have put this in the waste I could have gotten a token whatever they'll probably
concede in a minute but probably concede in a minute yeah I don't know much about that
old project but that's cool I saw a little bit of it on Twitter I guess I I don't know much about that old project, but that's cool. I saw a little bit of it on Twitter.
I guess I just don't know too much about the 3D printed thing.
now Just concede already you're a bot just concede Yeah, I mean it just looks like the dankest card back.
Tell me you don't want to run that as your Marko card back.
They also look like they'd be good phone cases parallel themed phone cases
Honestly that that might be the real
That might be the real alpha there
Those as phone cases would go super hard right I think that's dude. That's the real the real thing
That would go super hard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I'm definitely feeling that.
I'm definitely feeling that.
A request in to Big Parallel to ask about branding merch. Yeah, you got to find out what what are the rules?
I mean, I feel like they won't let people sell parallel themed merch
Unless they have an official thing with parallel studios probably right?
It's one thing to give some stuff away for free. Oh
Who knows just can't know until you ask.
Gotta kill him with the Poisoner.
You can do whatever you want, but if you sell at scale, you gotta talk with Oscar. Well, it sounds like you can't do whatever you want, but if you sell at scale you got to talk with Oscar
Well, it sounds like you can't do whatever you want
That's like two opposite things. Can you do whatever you want or do you have to talk to Oscar?
It sounds like you have to talk to Oscar
So you actually can't you mean you can do whatever you want like if it's just for fun, right?
You can do anything for fun, that makes sense.
But yeah, anything for business,
you have to talk to them, I'm guessing.
Since it's their IP or whatever.
You can start selling anything,
but if it takes off, get permission.
That does not make sense, actually.
That just straight up doesn't make sense.
But whatever, not my problem
Well what it sounds like is do whatever you want and then when the game gets big enough
you'll all get cease and desist is what it sounds like.
It sounds like eventually you get a cease and desist but totally have fun for now because
they're not paying attention yet.
That's what I mean when I say it doesn't make sense. It
sounds like okay we'll send you a cease and desist eventually but not for a
while so have fun. That's what that sounds like to me that's what I mean
that's why I'm reacting in a sort of vibey way. Sell whatever you want but it
needs to get permission to sell at scale basically means have fun but if you
start making any money then you need to get permission. Otherwise we can shut your ass down.
It's like have fun, but we have total control of the situation
and can tell you to stop at any time with no, no,
you have no power in situation.
That's what that literally means.
Yeah literally if he wants to do it at scale we need permission but if it's just a few
That literally means they can, they decide if you're allowed to do it or not.
That's just how it works automatically bro.
Parallel is not open source, right?
They own the parallel intellectual property so if they don't explicitly say that people are allowed to sell stuff that means you're not allowed to and
Frankly, I don't think Fitch tweeting that it's probably fine if you sell a few like really counts as like an official statement
Like that literally means have fun, but if it gets big enough we can tell you to stop that's like what that means
That's what getting permission means like needing the is, do you need permission or not?
Which is understandable by the way, that's what every big company does or that's what every like big game does
Which is understandable, by the way. That's what every big company does. Or that's what every like big game does.
Like you could sell fortnight themed merch on Facebook marketplace and probably get away with it
But if you tried to do it at scale you'd get a cease and desist I
Think that's probably how it would work for parallel as well
But what do I know maybe I'm wrong Only corporation that hunts you down no matter how small is Disney.
Nintendo does a lot of that too. Nintendo does a lot of that.
But no, I mean in parallel it would be different.
It's such a small community that you just probably
get approved by Kalos or something.
Like if something really cool was happening
and there was a legal issue, Kalos might even,
hypothetically he would just manually be like, it's fine.
He'd be like, it's fine, let me know who I need to call
to get it approved or whatever, and he'd like do it.
But then, I'm just saying, if the game gets big enough,
that kind of stuff would totally get
cease and desists eventually.
But the game is just too young
for anyone to give a shit, really.
But even then, if something started generating real revenue,
they'd definitely get called in for a meeting.
And you just wouldn't have leverage, that's all.
Like if you're using someone else's IP
you would just have no leverage.
That's the only thing about it.
But that's only a problem if you became
really successful anyway.
Yeah, it's good, it's just like, yeah.
If it became successful you would have no leverage
in negotiations really because like
you don't have any rights to the thing that's the only thing but they wouldn't
want to screw you over because it'd be a bad look and obviously it's not how
parallel does things I'm just thinking about it like I'm like straight it's
it's not really necessary to think about it that far ahead
Mean what do I know I don't even make merch anyway
It's just tough if you get something successful like that
You wouldn't really have any way to negotiate since you have like no rights to the thing
I'm too distracted, so I'm not locked into this game at all. I'm just gonna click some buttons
This is an interesting conversation, but I'm completely and fully distracted. I have no idea.
I'm not even thinking about the game in front of me at all.
Just clicking on some buttons. Unfortunately.
Totally lost track of what I'm trying to do in the game.
I think that's enough talk about lawyers or whatever. That's not the right target.
I should have blocked with this.
I want to keep this at full health so we can avoid it getting siphoned.
Yeah, that was the wrong target.
Then we can actually shield stuff.
We are getting closer to Gaffar plus Lightfoot though. We actually could get there. void keeper is bad I know it's the wrong order no one has to say it I'm going to try to get the Yikes.
Now, he clears this and he clears one of these two.
Nah, what I said didn't make sense a second ago because obviously I control which one
Can't get the details right okay I could have
targeted this and then this could have killed it fuck like every single turn I
don't like this one I'm gonna start over the start of the match was like me being
distracted and then I just made like three blunders in a row so let's just
let's just run it back let me do do, I wanna get a better game.
I don't wanna end on that.
I don't wanna end on that
and I don't wanna waste 20 more minutes playing it out.
I made like bad plays like five things in a row.
All right, let's just try again.
Let's get one more good game.
I have to like, for some reason I got distracted
by talking about the fucking 3D printed shit
and then I got super tilted.
This is why, that's actually why I was trying to not look at it, because I knew I was going
Let me just refresh my mind and we'll try to have one good game here.
One I want to get a good one to end on.
I let myself get mind flooded.
I knew I should have waited.
No, it's okay Puma. It's not your fault. It's just this is why this is why I wish people would DM me stuff
Sometimes right I asked to get DM sometimes
Because then if I look I get distracted and then everyone's like why not just look right now though real quick, and then I'm like okay
This is exactly what happens. I just got to remember next time
If I know I'm gonna get distracted just don't look This is exactly what happens. I just got to remember next time.
If I know I'm gonna get distracted, just don't look.
Oh wait, meetings in 13 minutes?
I thought it was in an hour.
Oh shit, ambassador meetings in 13 minutes. They said it was, I thought it was an hour later shit ambassador meetings in 13 minutes they said it was
it I thought it was an hour later because the time change ah shit oh shit
the meetings in 13 minutes I don't have time for another game might be I don't
have time for another game they just moved the meeting up an
hour. They just moved. Ah, fuck it. That's okay. We'll play one more game and I'll
show up a little bit late to the meeting. It's fine. We'll play one more. We'll play
one more anyway. I just I need one more game. I need one more. If I'm a few
minutes late to the meeting it's fine. Whatever. Oh Nola, that's super outdated.
I'm playing a I'm doing a ridiculous meme challenge my friend
I am NOT up to date on the current meta Nola. We are doing
Universal decks with all 15 paragons. So yeah, nothing I'm doing will be even slightly helpful for you
If you're trying to win and play well
Yeah, I've been doing a couple different wacky challenges. I'm on my YouTube grind.
Look at all those checks, I know, right?
You're looking for a good uni deck?
All of these are pretty wacky, but I do have ideas.
Retired Officer is pretty cool.
His tempo is just really low.
I don't know if it, it's probably not gonna work
until we get some better board clears and stuff but
Retired officer is pretty cool
Those stat buffs go pretty hard
Retired officer on three. It's a four or five on three and then the rest of your deck is buffed plus one plus one
Hey you guys should scrim.
Nola, if you need a scrim partner,
Diesel's the best parallel player that I know.
He is really one of the real ones.
If you need a scrim partner,
definitely Diesel's a good one.
If he's available, if you guys are.
Let's look for our early game. Send it all back.
Got a PS8. Back against brand again. Got a PS8. Got a shard.
I don't... Bro, this Gaffarar uni guffar is such a bad idea I'm sitting
here trying to have a good plan but I'm not gonna lie this is absurd uni guffar
I mean this is fine I have early game cards okay good they put they passed
turn one we draw Ingrid too early we can probably keep her in our hand though
this would be good if we actually get it to stick.
We don't really need the extra draw from Diplo.
Let's bank Diplo, work on getting wide.
Commented on Fitch's comment for clarification
and he said it's not his wheelhouse.
I don't wanna get distracted again.
All I'm saying is be careful doing any business stuff
if you don't have the rights to the thing.
It's just kind of a common sense thing.
if Puma's having fun working on that thing
with the other guy, that's awesome.
I love creative projects.
I support it a million percent.
Just like it's good to be ready for the idea
that if you don't own the rights to the thing,
you have to be like very ready for that
to not work out sometimes.
But it got kind of, it's not, that's not the point though.
Puma was sharing it with me
because he was excited to share it.
He was like, hey Flux, look at this thing.
I'm just gonna go for the early shard here. Puma was just like excited to share he was like hey flux look at this thing it's cool I'm just gonna go for the early shard here Puma was just like excited to
share something cool and then I kind of like raged at it like salt raged about a
business reason so it was kind of like the wrong response to the thing at the
same time but that that was where I was coming from for sure yeah the the ruin
tinkerers with the poisoners have been really good in the Uni deck.
The thing is, if I wasn't doing this challenge, like maybe if I was just jamming Workshop,
I feel like there's a list that's like,
Triple Gunslinger, Triple PS8, a couple of coins, Triple Retired Officer,
you run the Ruin Tinkerers and the Poisoners, maybe three of each or two Poisoners maybe.
You've got your Wong, your Harf, your Glaive, your ladies of course.
Then you run like two hammers, maybe even one muscle and you've got a lot of stat buffs
And then all of that, like you just got to survive the early game at that point.
So then maybe you run painters or maybe artifact appraisers along with the sanctuary, the shard
You, I think you end up getting out-tempo
to a little bit too much probably.
I wanna play high-end help here,
but the thing is it's not wide enough.
I think we actually ruin tinker plus PSA
and then we can burn the PSA from the waste.
That's how we can make this work.
I think we're gonna actually bank the high end help here.
And then yeah, we can use PS8 to send it to the waste
so we can destroy it with the tinker.
Yeah, the more meme challenges I do,
the more I'm interested in like building some off meta decks and playing them sweaty and like actually seeing if I can climb back up to diamond with them
Like I think maybe after this challenge. I'll actually be ready
I just have to figure out a way to get at least one or two videos out of it
So maybe like building a few different off meta decks
But actually like making them work well enough to go to diamond, like it could be fun.
I think a stat buff deck with Skippy could actually work.
And then probably a pure uni deck with Workshop
that also runs stat buffs might be viable
or maybe not stat buffs, but some kind of uni deck
could work stat buff Skippy.
I think the question I would ask myself is like
what is the wackiest deck that I can actually make work?
You know, I feel like that there's probably some stuff
There's probably some stuff I think stat buff skippy is what I'm most excited about right now after seeing that match today
Maybe we'll see if we can make a real stat buff skippy deck and like grind it even just up to like diamond 5
Or something like that could be kind of fun
okay we're in a decent spot here really only thing is i don't have a good answer for brand i mean poisoner is something probably just keep going wide for now with another tinkerer
my first tinker is in here like a three plus two with a defender on the board and then setting up for poison or goes super
Hard I don't know about high-end help though. I kind of want to keep the researchers. We do have some more draws handy I
Just keep banking all my high-end helps
But that seems like it's pretty good play I mean next turn next turn I wanna maybe research. No, next turn Poisoner plus what?
I mean, I gotta draw anyway
because I need to find Lightfoot Treads
I mean, he could have Raysha, my one, my one two is it or my one four is a thing
Okay good, I know I don't have much but I have one I have one in waste. That's all I need right now
It's too bad the ambassador meeting is earlier than expected I have to double-check is it still early or did they get it wrong
Yeah, that's too bad. We'll finish this game, and then I guess I'll I'll have to go. That's too bad I thought we had an extra hour
I'm kind of getting a second wind now
Hopefully tomorrow will complete this challenge
Hopefully we get this Gaffar win today. We'll see we might finish it tomorrow. It'll take one or two more streams depending and
then I got to decide if I want to do another challenge right after that or if I want to like
Maybe do the off-meta build up grind up
thing or I don't know but I think I think we I don't know we'll get it
tomorrow unless we get stuck but we might then again the last ones are the
hardest ones it'll probably take two more streams actually because Neve is
gonna be at his ass I mean neve could take
Multiple streams by herself if it's a disaster enough neve is gonna be brutal
All right. Here's my poison return right just two two plus four bank the other two
We're getting closer to ingrid if they don't end up removing her
We don't have no treads yet
And we don't get another token, unfortunately.
This is the one bad thing here.
Nothing, nothing in my waste.
First blood though a head on board somehow. I just got a steel brand I
Just got a steel brand with Ingrid I
Need them to play it like the perfect time for me to steal it. That's all interesting Oh boy.
Gonna turn my Poisoner against me.
I'll have to trade in the Poisoner I guess.
We'll just clear the two defenders though.
All my defenders are in the damn bank
No treads in sight long is good
There's not a ton we can do right here
Can't clear the embedded agent Okay. Artifact appraisers go kind of hard though.
They're consistently 3-2 in this deck because they're running a lot of relics
Like you can run a lot of relics and then your artifact appraisers are good then
What else I mean it's great for the ladies obviously, I don't know it definitely works for the uni deck
So what's he doing? I mean he doesn't really need demo
How am I doing I am the greatest anyone has ever been I have transcended
Space and time how about you? I need some treads, but unfortunately against Shroud, the treads won't really work because they're just going to demo our whole board.
This deck really needs to queue into a non-shroud situation i feel like
grab desmond for fun i'm just grabbing him because it seems fun
uh... i gotta bank something anyway am i banking uh... desmond
alright mitch it's your other one that's right it's your other account
cool cool cool, cool, cool.
Yeah, I'm doing a challenge, bro, I'm doing a challenge. I'm trying to win 15 different games
with a certain challenge on it.
because it's specific to the game,
but gotta win 15 different meme decks, basically.
I just don't wanna bank bank any of these I guess
I'm banking Desmond easy come easy go I should have played this first though I
could I'm so bad we can kill the power instructor now let's keep units on the
board we'll see if he demos I really don't think he was going for a demo
there oh I'm so I'm so there's a few things that I keep doing wrong
consistently it's okay though I'm gonna get it I'm gonna get it I'm gonna get it
I'm gonna get it these meme challenges are a good challenge now it's like I've
I'm ready to I'm ready to play better again I'm starting to play better it's
starting to come back it It's hard to describe.
It's like when you're doing the memes, it gets slippery,
but then you start getting really,
then you start benefiting from it.
It's like you gotta learn how to use the force.
You just gotta, it takes some time.
I mean, we can play Ingrid. This is not like exactly bad in fact. It's kind of good I
Gotta play fast now. I gotta get to this ambassador meeting here. Give me a unit
To have them discard some cards they have a lot of cards
Oh, I love that idea Mitch. We should absolutely- I will actually do that. That's a fucking great idea.
Dude, that's actually- that's actually a good idea.
Bro, what the fuck? That's actually a really good idea. I'd be so down. We can jump into voice chat.
I just scroll through the cards and you just go, uh, play- How about this one? How about that one, bro?
That's such a good idea we'll do it I'm a hundred percent down we'll find a time we'll talk I'll DM you
Cuz yeah, I mean that's how the meme decks do work. I build them myself. I
For these challenge things. I basically set myself
Some limitations where it's like, okay, I have to build a deck,
but I have to do some really absurd challenge, right?
It's like, okay, win a game,
It's like playing Mario Bros, but you're not allowed to get any coins, right?
It's like Mario Bros, but you can't get any coins. If you touch a mushroom, you lose.
It's like, you know, it's like things like that. You make it like super ridiculous
or like win a game of call of duty
without taking a single shot.
It's like only use grenades or I don't know.
I don't know what actually would be hard,
but like just like total memes.
It's like you have to deal with some ridiculous circumstance
We're close, we're close.
We could, we have no reason to play Gaffar is the thing,
but we could win just generically.
I wanna save Ingrid till the board's set up,
but they could just steal her with,
I'm not, I don't think they're running schemings to be fair. They were platinum one, and I'm getting the sense
They aren't running the scheming
I just want to set up Ingrid so we get the buff and the damage like right away
Here, we'll see I think I can win this
Yeah, Mitch 100% I'll DM you maybe next week we can set something up for next week I
Usually set up my content about a week ahead so that could be perfect
We can find a day or an evening or whatever time works
I'll hit you up for sure. That's a great idea perfect. Okay, awesome
I'm gonna cast light foot treads just cuz I can nothing matters anymore. I
Know I need to sanctuary at the start of the turn and not the end but I'm just memeing too hard
Alright, real quick, let's get this win. I gotta get to this meeting.
I gotta get to this meeting now. They did the bait and switch.
They moved it up an hour at the last second
because it was scheduled wrong.
The problem is if we win this,
we still didn't pull off the Lightfoot Treads.
That's okay. If I win this without Lightfoot Treads,
we can always do a separate video
specifically to make Lightfoot Treads happen.
I think even if I win or lose,
I think that's how I want to do this.
I want to do a video where we like try to build
a light foot treads deck.
It doesn't always have to be a win one game challenge.
It can also just be like trying something kind of absurd
or like trying a really weird idea or something
that everyone like wants to try but hasn't done yet I want to send the
damage face I really do I shouldn't draw actually too close to fatigue I want to
send it to face I really do I'm gonna do it
He has evasive is the thing we almost have lethal
But not quite what's in my waist do have lethal? I have Poisoner here.
Gunslinger, I'm one off of lethal.
If I hadn't used Sanctuary, I'd have fucking lethal.
I think I'm off of lethal by one
because I Sanctuared my Gunslinger.
I would have had it next turn at least.
We should still win next turn though, I think.
I don't want to draw four.
Ah, shit, I'm gonna take fatigue damage so bad.
There's my last gunslinger though.
All right, I should win next turn.
We didn't get to do the light foot treads thing,
I think we'll do a, like maybe next week we'll try a light foot treads deck just just as its own thing
assuming we finish the uni challenged this week or at least early next week
we'll see maybe I'll do a stream over the weekend to try to finish it on
Saturday or something I feel like we'll need two more streams let's see if I
actually win this one I shouldn't count my chickens before they hatch
Looks like I win though. I think I got it pretty sure I got it. I
Don't think they're stealing away my
My Gunslinger here they do not have the mana anymore I don't think they're stealing away my My
Gunslinger here. They do not have the mana anymore
We learned a lot of stuff today. This is actually a really interesting stream
This was actually a really interesting one. We did learn a lot
We did learn a lot. We did learn a lot.
We didn't really get to use the Lightfoot Treads tech.
I'll be honest, that's gonna be tough.
Like I was just saying, we'll do a separate video for that I should make a note of
it I'll write it down right now
we'll do a different video where our sole goal is to pull off the light foot
treads combo as many times as we can in one stream.
And like make it actually work.
But yeah, for today, that is gonna do it.
I gotta update my thing one more time, don't I?
I gotta get to this meeting, so I'll check off G'far.
I'll check it off and next time it'll be checked off. I'll do it right after I end this.
But I'm gonna raid right now.
We raided Nomad yesterday so I'll tell you what, today...
Whatever, it's kinda awkward to raid the same guy twice
but he's the only guy playing parallel and he's a nice dude
so we'll do the twice in a row.
It's just like texting a girl right after you meet her like the next day. It's like you're supposed to wait a day
It's like it's awkward to read someone multiple times. That's okay though. This dude seems super
Well, we'll be it will be supportive here. Love you guys. See you tomorrow. We'll continue the challenge. Maybe we'll finish it
We'll get close for sure. Have a great day.
for a nice little Friday Flux stream, right?
