 bytecaster: Gotta get some unlocks!
hiFunko: Anyone got the seed # for this run?

 bytecaster: It is a pretty great adaption
 bytecaster: Very faithful!
 YeetTheRich_: premier card gamers of the format
 control_rig: No one reads the cards!
 kumatsu: time for the Claw build
oatway: serge continues his combo year as the watcher, I see

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, TheManaLeek! (Today's storm count: 25)
kusinohki: did they ever fix the sleeve problem?  (sleeve covers easily coming off)
 TheManaLeek: @kusinohki As someone with a newly printed version, no 
 bytecaster: @TheManaLeek There were a good amount of extras I think though
kusinohki: bummer.  so over/under on how long they start peeling sleeves??
 bytecaster: We can see it
commakazi1: use the yellow bead
 bytecaster: Lightning cube make better
 bytecaster: Shivs work different after all
 TheManaLeek: @kusinohki I think it was run 10 with the same character or so I started to see it. Though I also had an issue with a couple packs of sleeves were slightly larger (enough to be felt while shuffling)
commakazi1: poison is sweet in this
 Mischievous_Catgeist: shing
 Tiber727: If you're not playing 20 cards in a turn, why are you playing the game at all?
 paulthemapguy: shiv me timbs
commakazi1: notably you can hold on to the shiv tokens between turns
   LoadingReadyRun: Ben Ulmer: Known silent game player
redpandrake: 
Jensling: base 2dmg 0 cost in the pc game iirc
 kragmabutch: force bodyslam or bust, always
 MacbethSeemsSus: I, Ronald Clad
 Tiber727: I just want to know if they accurately representing the Defect life of trying to play 20 powers and dying.
 control_rig: Bodyslam is one of the most satisfying builds
commakazi1: the ironclads exhaust build is sweet in the boardgame as well
 LeokadiaBosko: This has quickly become my favorite board game of all time
 control_rig: Oooo
emboar2235: bird picture time?
 bytecaster: @LeokadiaBosko I really love how they fix randomness for the turn with a single dice roll
 LeokadiaBosko: @bytecaster That was an excellent design choice
hiFunko: 
 MrSarkhan:  
 RealGamerCow: this is not boopa or scoopa
 bytecaster: Oh the scroll up!
 Cptasparagus: listening to this while playing Monster Train 2 seems blasphemous
 OldUncleDan: Can the music be turn down just a bit?  It's a bit loud for me.
 bytecaster: Serge is already meta gaming
hiFunko: Math is for Serges
 MacbethSeemsSus: Why math when stomp?
   LoadingReadyRun: This is music from the official Slay the Spire board game companion app
 bytecaster: Neow!
Chesul: It's every 12 health you go in with makes the 6 hit harder, if anyone was wondering.
 kragmabutch: i'm beginning to learn i am not very good at slay the spire lmao
commakazi1: you also may find it useful to distribute some appropriate tokens to each player
 Tiber727: Isn't he 6 eyed?
 control_rig: "hoooom!" - Neow, probably
 bytecaster: @Tiber727 Well I have never seen his other side
DoctorHutch subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 89 months!
 DoctorHutch: Long game speed run, hell yeah!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, DoctorHutch! (Today's storm count: 26)
 bytecaster: This is making me wanna play it
 UnknownFriday: Except when he faces you head on when you kill the Heart.
 bytecaster: Immediately
 Akaiatana: [Cetecean Needed]
commakazi1: you see her eyes if you kill the heart
 Tiber727: @bytecaster Haven't played in forever, but don't you see him head-on when you beat the Heart?
 bytecaster: @Tiber727 Maybe but then my joke doesn't work
   LoadingReadyRun: how's the music volume?
commakazi1: music is good
commakazi1: maybe a touch lower
 Getter404: A tiny touch loud when the horns kick in, yeah
 bytecaster: Blade dance though
commakazi1: looking at upgrades is free
 bytecaster: They even added an upgrade booklet so you don't have to pull out the cards all the time
 bytecaster: So many good decisions with this game
 ipoddodd: no mr the robot 
 Getter404: @bytecaster Wyrmspan does something similar and I love iit
Solo_Support: This seems cool, they should make a digital version of this game 
 bytecaster: Defend upgrade is kinda big, because you can help people
commakazi1: lets ignore a digital version, lets go straight to play by mail
 ipoddodd: defend+ is surprisingly more relevant than it looks, especially coming from the video game
 control_rig: All together now: "Ca-caw!"
 bytecaster: Ca-caw!
   LoadingReadyRun: Slay the Spire: The Board Game: The Video Game
 ipoddodd: !toarms
hiFunko: : The Ride
 ipoddodd: 
 ipoddodd:  
 Lord_Hosk: Remember when they made a Civilization board game based on the video game that was so good they made a digital version of it that was also pretty popular but they didn't continue making it because it was confusing to the market.
 UnknownFriday: @LoadingReadyRun You're probably joking, but there is a Tabletop Simulator mod of the board game version of StS.
kusinohki: @hosk  I've lost track on what came first, the civ video game or the civ board game
 ekimekim: but that's like +5 in the video game
 PMAvers: there’s also a mod for Slay the Spire digital itself that ports over the board game changes and mechanics
 bytecaster: The coop element is really neat!
 bytecaster: Scry is Surveil, right?
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Scrying is surveiling.
 ipoddodd: scry is surveilling
 bytecaster: I think we got it, chat, good work!
kusinohki: I don't speak yu-go-oh - I assume scry is the same as in the video game
 bytecaster: @kusinohki Yes!
GazzyInferno: you hit it in the vulnerables
 OldUncleDan: Cleve it to Beaver!
Frostwriter111: is the AOE on cleave just for that row?
commakazi1: yeah aoe is per row
 bytecaster: I love the discuss phase!
 bytecaster: Just to remind the power gamer (me) that it is cooperative.
ThunderBirdJack: so glad y'all are playing this! best board game i've played in a while
kusinohki: I think wheeler could have cleaved serge's row and hit both bugs if he wanted to
   LoadingReadyRun: It's true that you are more vulnerable when you have a broken heart 
 bytecaster: @kusinohki yes
 northos: gg everyone 
commakazi1: yes wheeler could have but you gotta get into the game to start thinking about that
 bytecaster: It is fine, there are myriad options
 Dog_of_Myth: !chat
  LRRbot: Chat? Engaging in mimicry?
 thraximore: 
 Dog_of_Myth: 
 bytecaster: I will just enthusiastically explain rules!
 bytecaster: If someone asks
CookieMom: It has been *0* turns since the chat backseated gameplay.
 DudelidouX: Alright engaging troll backseating for you Wheeler
 gualdhar: wow, I didn't even watch the game and I'm already dogshit 
 northos: 0 damage? those are rookie numbers! 
kusinohki: not trying to back seat, was just giving an example
 LathosTiran: but i want to put lands before creatures 
 Ballistic_Meatball: Not to immediately backseat, but does bed draw 2 more cards each turn?
 ipoddodd: big LOUSE
 Ballistic_Meatball: ben* not bed
 bytecaster: @Ballistic_Meatball Only first turn I think
commakazi1: ben only draws on start of combat
 Ballistic_Meatball: @bytecaster thanks!
kusinohki: eff me for trying to engage with the stream I guess
hiFunko: Upgraded block is so nice
 gualdhar: @lathosTiran I got a guy banned from my LGS for that 
 BusTed: 
 SnackPak_: what a good friend
 TheWanderingNomad: It's a Jordynne
 RockPusher: Hai Jordynne
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: Jordynne has arrived!

 TheWriterAleph: hi jordynne bye jordynne!
 RockPusher: Chimkin
GazzyInferno: chimkin
 GhostValv: jealous
commakazi1: coffee delivery!
 niccus: the promised chicken...
 Ballistic_Meatball: This looks so sweet, only in the first combat but it already looks like they did a great job porting this over an making it multiplayer.
 NorthstarTex: Bonus Jordynne!? Stream has measurably improved
 paulthemapguy: red lobster?
 OldUncleDan: This background music is giving me a headache.  Toodles,, folks!
 TheWriterAleph: that's how i'm always telling people i'm mad: "I am in Wrath now."
   LoadingReadyRun: @OldUncleDan sorry to hear that
 paulthemapguy: I don't even hear the background music
 paulthemapguy: which is okay
commakazi1: strength stays
hiFunko: Love the game OST, it's so listenable
commakazi1: there may also be a strength cap
 Twilight_Spark: Would you still love me if I was a jaw?
commakazi1: im 99% sure you dont have an end step if you win
 ipoddodd: Same reason you don't die when you blaspheme in the game

ThunderBirdJack: rushdown is gas
 paulthemapguy: the flettuccine
LaeliaTBR: i love me a cloak and dagger
 TheWriterAleph: fletchussy
 niccus: the blue is the rarity
 ipoddodd: The attacks are roughly pentagonal arts, the skills are squares, and the powers are circles
   LoadingReadyRun: poison also bypasses block, which is nice
silenceaux: Remember, after you draft two cards you are locked into your archetype forever
 paulthemapguy: get ye flask!
LaeliaTBR: mmm body slam
kusinohki: something something don't aim for a build something
 Lord_Hosk: go left
 Mathonwy: Did they just get done explaining? Did I get here at the start?! Yay!!
 northos: @Mathonwy they did one combat encounter which was also sort of the explanation
kusinohki: elite campfires burn brighter
ThunderBirdJack: 
 Xerodin: how dare you make a mistake ben
commakazi1: 1 event it should tell you how to do it
 niccus: curse! curse! curse! curse!
 ipoddodd: the box is normal though
 lamina5432: it's the monkey problem can they reach the food
kusinohki: should there be a relic display or does that not happen until a shop??
silenceaux: You might find a more concerning donut later
commakazi1: no display
LaeliaTBR: cmon normality
commakazi1: events are always good here
commakazi1: each of you makes a choice
 ipoddodd: Does the library force an option like it does in the game?
LaeliaTBR: is there no divinity in this version?
 Diabore: serge carry lets go
 QuixoticScrivener: ancestral recall?
LaeliaTBR: that is so unfortunate
silenceaux: If there's no Divinity, what does the mantra/prayer icon do?
commakazi1: ni divinity but i think blasphemy is in here
commakazi1: mantra is the token that if you spend it you get an energy
 ipoddodd: @LaeliaTBR The divinity cards got reworked to add Prayer hands, which are consume to add an energy, which doesn't go away during the fight
LaeliaTBR: @ipoddodd thank you friend
CWaltz86: aw no orby-boy. (sadness on the stack)
commakazi1: combust is my secret favorite
 MacbethSeemsSus: @CWaltz86 Resolves
LaeliaTBR: anger my beloved
CWaltz86: have dfntly tried to build the nothing but anger deck in the video game
CWaltz86: what act are we on?
commakazi1: gold can be shared in the shop only
silenceaux: @CWaltz86 Act 1, staring down the Hexaghost I think.
 niccus: four goblin nobs with no campfires let's go
CWaltz86: @silenceaux ty ty
 SimWOT: Caw! Caw!
CWaltz86: unmatched power
ThunderBirdJack: serge is a true slay the spire gamer. already has rushdown and inner peace
 calculated_uncertainties: 1 1 100 1 1
Haroldholmes25: he's popping off
 paulthemapguy: I love getting my eruption
commakazi1: no you dont shuffle
 SimWOT: in the game you can<t scry empty pile
 SimWOT: not sure about the board game
commakazi1: you cannot scry an empty pile
commakazi1: you scry X cards off of your deck
commakazi1: if you have less than your scry you do whatever is in your deck
commakazi1: at this point go forward with it but just know for the future
silenceaux: Definitely agree with holding the potion for a likely more difficult fight.
commakazi1: theres some exhaust matters cards and relics

 Getter404: Suddenly, lasers
 A_Dub888: Hi friends, is the spire dead yet?
commakazi1: also read how daze is applied here
silenceaux: At least they don't seem to have artifact this time around...
ChargingFurret: does ben start with weakness?
commakazi1: ben didnt remove the token from last fight
 Blip2004: this the ballroom music from van helsing?
   LoadingReadyRun: @commakazi1 is it different then normal?
ChargingFurret: @Blip2004 STS background music
 Getter404: If Paul switched in the Balatro theme, how long would it take for them to notice
 A_Dub888: I'm not saying I wanna see, but I wanna see
   LoadingReadyRun: This is the "Elite" music from the StS app
 Getter404: A legally distinct "oof", please do not sue mister tallorico
tanshala: it is weird they just turn the mobs when they die my friends and i just flip them over =P but hey if it works for them
 Dog_of_Myth: Tapping is ingrained into Magic players. 
 A_Dub888: Magic: The Gatherin
 A_Dub888: *Gathering
 definenull: the mobs are just eepy
 ipoddodd: @LoadingReadyRun In the video game, daze typically goes to the yard and gets shuffled in. There's more card draw and each sentry puts in 2 though
tanshala: true just visually it still makes it seem like it will untap at some point. just visual noise to my adhd brain
commakazi1: daze here is top of draw pile
   LoadingReadyRun: "how do we do the most elite fights" they said 
 control_rig: The hubris is real
tanshala: lol i was thinking that
 control_rig: Very accurate to the actual game
 A_Dub888: "Elite's got hands"  The art doesn't show hands 
   LoadingReadyRun: Elite's got triangles!
tanshala: and swords
 Getter404: Triangles for hands, it's a refugee from the PS1
 definenull: their laserbeams are actually just concent
 definenull: *concentrated beams of hands
ChargingFurret: doesn't tranquility put serge in calm?
 paulthemapguy: tell those sentries to have a nice day
 definenull: welp
   LoadingReadyRun: Sentry Bs have really been dropping the ball in this fight
tanshala: well that is why they are in class b instead of a
 paulthemapguy: the Bs are inert
 A_Dub888: Sentry B Dazy
   LoadingReadyRun: touch sentry get dizzy
ChargingFurret: Snerge sneaking in
commakazi1: so this game also tends to get to the point where instead of walking through the last turn of a fight if you can deal like 10 damage you just say we do it and move on
commakazi1: also did wheeler heal one?
 Cptasparagus: give me apples on the side
 TheManaLeek: @commakazi1 Yup, he called it out as he did it
silenceaux: Everyone's about to get a lot stronger, so that makes further elites interesting
ChargingFurret: puramid was justifiably nerfed
 definenull: per combat? booo
commakazi1: and you dont shuffle the elites back in so you will never see one elite more than once
 LeokadiaBosko: I like the optional rule where you draw one relic per player and then divide them up as you choose instead of just top decking
ChargingFurret: i mean, pyramid is one of the best relics in STS, so the nerf is justified
commakazi1: serge, both of those damages are AOE on conclude
NeoOfTheDark subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 76 months!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, NeoOfTheDark! (Today's storm count: 32)
commakazi1: it cant
 definenull: clay was also busted, iirc it added block every instance of damage?
commakazi1: it says enter wrath before it goes on top
commakazi1: its resolve the full card
 paulthemapguy: In Magic, you do everything the card says before you read it
 definenull: its magic rules!
silenceaux: Making one of the most infamous infinite combos of Watcher even more consistent is a WILD decision
commakazi1: well, ive been playing wrong
 Getter404: "Yes this is an Infinite and it is 100% intentional. Go nuts."
 Transmuted_Elf: @paulthemapguy 
commakazi1: its two instances to interact with wrath
 definenull: ohoho

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Dastar512! (Today's storm count: 34)
commakazi1: max poison is 30 so you know
ChargingFurret: did wheeler heal at the end of the fight? i wasn't paying attention
 MacbethSeemsSus: Yeah, Scotch hits hard
 Getter404:   
commakazi1: half isnt zero
 lamina5432: if you don't get stong in act one when do you
commakazi1: so, the other elites are much mor doable
ChargingFurret: spirits give you poop'
drcthulu: do you get the ghost poop?
 Getter404: There's no penalty for deck cycling, is there?
devoidmelody: no
commakazi1: no penalty
Mashamino: 
devoidmelody: the only downside to a small deck is that you get fucked by dazed and stuff more
ThunderBirdJack: The way I play is we reveal 3 relics and choose who gets what.
commakazi1: no way to trade relics iirc
LaeliaTBR: im pogging dead branch
ChargingFurret: Calipers is Good Here
 MitchTheQuaker: calipers would be good here
 paulthemapguy: ah yes, calipers: the girth assessment device
 Getter404: Wheeler has the power of YGO guiding his draws
Mashamino: calipers would be calipers here
commakazi1: honestly it should be a pool you pick from
commakazi1: the best rat bois
 ipoddodd: when me and my gang pull up, well, you better get to running
 definenull: its da bois
 NocturnalMissions: Oh! I loved this game. I played it once with friends and it got me into the actual game!
 A_Dub888: Which is the one that charges da laser?
 definenull: omg serge what a hand
 ipoddodd: @A_Dub888 Wizard (here it comes!)
silenceaux: That's six cards, right?
silenceaux: (On Ben's hand)
commakazi1: yeah ben needs one more card
   LoadingReadyRun: Serge always having rushdown tantrums
ChargingFurret: isn't serge in wrath?
ThunderBirdJack: Wheeler can use the clay relic now too
commakazi1: you have over 20 dps and they have less than 20 hp
 ipoddodd: @commakazi1 just making sure the increments don't cause a loss of damage
silenceaux: Take that, Jaw Worm!
ThunderBirdJack: Is the rat fart cloud going to ruin everything?

 ipoddodd: well, TTTH is a little egregious
ChargingFurret: poor terror
silenceaux: Terror at 99 vuln would be really busto with the power of teamwork
 lamina5432: the pyramid goes well with discard
 definenull: spiccyyy
commakazi1: it does synergise whenever its exhausted
 ipoddodd: In the base game, ethereal does trigger FNP
commakazi1: this includes dazes
commakazi1: and slimes
silenceaux: Hey did someone want to trade potions?
 Getter404: Man with 50 Block: "Yes but what I just healed?"
 definenull: the sleepy crab thing!
 A_Dub888: that's the sleepy boy right?
commakazi1: i love this slider
commakazi1: its surprisingly easy
commakazi1: you dont get strength, it gains strength
 definenull: lets go
 Darleysam: co-op Slay the Spire may be god's perfect game
Mashamino: oh, that's nice
 Getter404: Not even mods?
Mashamino: there's a mod for multi-player
commakazi1: there is a new multiplayer mod
 Getter404: Oh hey
 paulthemapguy: the enemy is a living breathing ocarina?
 Jorsh029: I have put a near-embarrassing amount of time into Slay the Spire and they fucking nailed it adapting it to the board game. I love it so much 
commakazi1: the tokens flip over btw
 MitchTheQuaker: catalyst exhausts right
ChargingFurret: it doed
 ipoddodd: catalyst DOES exhaust
 ipoddodd: would be really messed up if it didn't

chaostreader: Serge didn’t do damage for cut through fate.
LaeliaTBR: does the poison get removed at all?
 kumatsu: did the 10s get moved there?
commakazi1: poison stays
LaeliaTBR: nasty hell yeah
commakazi1: yeah there is a poison cap of 30
tanshala: does the doll give ben str only for the turn?
commakazi1: because thats all the tokens it has
commakazi1: doll is whenever you draw a curse so it can be procced multiple times per turn as well
 definenull: with more catalysts, it could very well happen
tanshala: but is it only for the turn or just gain a str?
commakazi1: only for turn
LaeliaTBR: would body slam deal 2 since it had vuln?
 definenull: serge is about to go off again
ChargingFurret: @LaeliaTBR vuln went off on the eruption
LaeliaTBR: @ChargingFurret interesting ty
   LoadingReadyRun: BIG booty bash
Haroldholmes25: 
ChargingFurret: 
LaeliaTBR: average silent payer. "I SHIV IT I SHIV IT"
 MrSarkhan: 
tanshala: the like 18 dmg from poison
commakazi1: ben brought the game
 definenull: is there lesson learned and feed in this game?
 RelwinEJ: Call Wheeler Cheeks McClappin
commakazi1: the next elite is nob though
 MitchTheQuaker: @definenull feed seems hard with 10 max life
 Getter404: Legally, no one brought the game, it just appeared one day
commakazi1: you can
commakazi1: it stacks
commakazi1: if you get two necros you get one card played 3 times
Skye_Stryke: The mirrors last part implies that you can use it on someone else's relic right?
commakazi1: yeah mirror is everyone
commakazi1: and they get it
silenceaux: Oh, poison stab exhausts now. Interesting.
LaeliaTBR: cut through fate is by far my fave card in slay the spire
Chesul: I'd actually say that's a buff to Fear no Evil, it lets you dance easier.
 NocturnalMissions: I doubt it's viable in the board game, but there's a combination of powers for the champion that let you draw your deck and have everything be free with exile synergies.
 NocturnalMissions: in the game at least
commakazi1: akabeko is anytime and stacks in wrath
 definenull: but stance dance tho
Chesul: There are a lot of infinites in Slay the Spire.
commakazi1: ive made one infinite in the board game with defect
 Jorsh029: And Akabeko  is freaking great with tantrum
ChargingFurret: i think fear no evil is pretty great with the tantrum
commakazi1: havent found any others
ChargingFurret: @Jorsh029 tantrum only does 1 damage instance with the board game
 ipoddodd: @NocturnalMissions they made infinites VERY difficult, about 95% of infinites in STS were made to be impossible. It's reasonable because the game becomes less teamwork and more did I draw combo
commakazi1: do the elite!
commakazi1: or a curse
commakazi1: windmill go first
 NocturnalMissions: @ipoddodd I figured, good change in my opinion to make infinites basically impossible in the board game.
 Getter404: That'd leave you, at best, at 3 - 3 - 4
ChargingFurret: with the way it's worded, i don't think you get to trade with this relic too
commakazi1: or the greed
commakazi1: no trades here
commakazi1: 6 with wrath and akabeko
ChargingFurret: akabeko combo too
TheOtherKT: does the board game version go up to act 4?
commakazi1: there is a heart
silenceaux: Much more flexible than video game Akabeko.
commakazi1: and act 4 elites
Chesul: Oh man, that's a huge upgrade for Akabeko.
commakazi1: the elites dont show up until like ascension 10
 definenull:  
 ekplayscards: ooooo it's my favorite people!
ChargingFurret: don't forget to roll each turn
commakazi1: roll the dice
 Jorsh029: The poison upgrade is so strong
commakazi1: 2 damage
commakazi1: you got strength
 KeytarCat: stremt
commakazi1: weak affects all in the attack
chaostreader: deal poison damage.
drcthulu: Kudos to Paul for the audio
commakazi1: you are correct its 2
commakazi1: its also even good solo
commakazi1: even playing multiple heroes
 Jorsh029: It's a joy solo  anytime I host a slay the spire night with friends I always end up playing another act or two on my own
ThunderBirdJack: This game also has unlockable cards and achievements
 LeokadiaBosko: Yes, it applies to all of them
ChargingFurret: it's all one attack, so weak affects the whole row
commakazi1: it works how you want it to
chaostreader: did the boss ever take its poison damage?
commakazi1: no i dont think it took poison
commakazi1: there is bigger poison tokens
ChargingFurret: yeah the boss didn't take poison it's first turn
commakazi1: they have 3 and 10 on them
commakazi1: also ben needs to exhaust catalyst
 definenull: Something something zen master?
commakazi1: im sad nobody is playing defect
letsbelgo: I miss the gladiator event on arena already :  (
 Jorsh029: Serge: premiere storm pilot of this very specific format
commakazi1: poison damage is the real goat
dead_delver: Kinda want to see ho defect plays in this.
ThunderBirdJack: Did shockwave get exhausted earlier or nah
commakazi1: the defect is exactly how you want it to work
dead_delver: oh?
 Jorsh029: Defect is super strong in the board game. You choose which orb to evoke
devoidmelody: max 3 orbslots and you get to swap them as you want, not filo, but otherwise completely normal
commakazi1: they bashed last time not shock
ThunderBirdJack: Defect is the homie. Only 3 orbs no plasma I think.
   LoadingReadyRun: I believe someone played Defect when we played this originally with Jorbs
 KeytarCat: And it was awesome
commakazi1: the shadow orbs scale with powers
dead_delver: gonna have to find that vod post-stream.
commakazi1: and plasma is just a power that gives you an extra energy
commakazi1: you get a free full heal after you kill the boss
 definenull: i like how they modified the defect so you don't have to do too much book keeping e.g. orb order doesn't matter
dead_delver: @commakazi1 seems stronger than it taking a slot.
 Jorsh029: Defect's starting card upgrades feel incredibly strong, too. Free attacks and 2 block to any player
 definenull: and the CLAW
silenceaux: If someone dies, does the run end?
   LoadingReadyRun: it does, yes
commakazi1: one death ends it
 niccus: there's an optional rule to allow deaths in boss fights
commakazi1: but it is fun to finish the fight with whoever is left
 Jorsh029: Yup, there's an optional rule that you can try to finish a boss fight to count toward act completion
 Jorsh029: But the run ends after
 Dog_of_Myth: 
commakazi1: also when you get boss relics, you get to pick from 2 more than the player count so you choose from 5.
 Dog_of_Myth:  
 Darleysam: 
Lysander_salamander: yay
 Jorsh029: The Watcher: eater of other people's lunches
Mashamino: Clap
 MrSarkhan: 
letsbelgo: yay
 shendaras: 
 definenull: wooo!
LaeliaTBR: what a sick game
 definenull: how does one save?
  Juliamon: That timing is pretty much perfect
Lysander_salamander: was that music from the game?
KWardJenx:  
commakazi1: lets go to act 3! screw time
commakazi1: you pick from 5 boss relics
 NocturnalMissions: the one time i played with my friends, we played all three acts and it took like 5.5 hours.
ChargingFurret: you reveal 5, which is players +2
commakazi1: you actually get a pick from 5
Frostwriter111: wait, did Serge trade 5 for 4? That's only +1 gold
silenceaux: "Give me a five I'll hand you four" I don't... Understand?
 Jorsh029: It's number of players plus 1 for the boss relics
 Jorsh029: Unless your playing solo, then it's three
 definenull: everybody's off by one!
commakazi1: well, ive been chating
 definenull: boooo
   LoadingReadyRun: this music supplied by the Slay the Spire companion app
 Jorsh029: The companion app is also very good
commakazi1: these are actually kinda big
LaeliaTBR: charles lightning 
 definenull: house is kinda mid ngl
commakazi1: get your rare reward first
ChargingFurret: rare rewards to consider
commakazi1: because the upgrades can hit them
 Jorsh029: I love how they reworked the class-specific relics
silenceaux: Darn, all these balance changes and Tiny House is still getting left behind
commakazi1: 3 rare cards
Chesul: Wraith form is so much better!
commakazi1: wheeler with the juggs and the orb is solid
Frostwriter111: Wish for gold!
 Jorsh029: Wraith form has no downside, lol
Chesul: Wish is just straight good, at worst it's +1 energy.
 ipoddodd: @Chesul I mean, in terms of magic, +1 mana for a card isn't great
 definenull: devotion might be good for setup
commakazi1: the power is also an axtra card draw
silenceaux: I think Devotion is such a free take but you do you
drcthulu: establishment isn't bad making the retain calm free
 ipoddodd: scrawl my belovd
Chesul: @ipoddodd the mtg equivalent would be a 3 drop that gives you 4 mana that doesn't empty from your mana pool.
 ipoddodd: @Chesul I mean, 3 mana make 4 treasure is good, but it requires a very specific deck that has card draw
ThunderBirdJack: Or a 3 drop that makes 4 treasure tokens
 tehfewl: all my STS sleeves went kaput, so i replaced them with dragonshields
Chesul: @ipoddodd It really doesn't. I feel like any deck wants 7 mana turn 4.
commakazi1: the gamble always has a use
   LoadingReadyRun: @tehfewl use code lrrmtg5 for 5% off!
 the_semicolon: What is neut+
 Jorsh029: @tehfewl yeah, the included sleeves are kind of a downer
 tehfewl: @LoadingReadyRun oh i did
   LoadingReadyRun: @tehfewl 
 lamina5432: gnight
drcthulu: focus orb slots or bust
dead_delver: Hi Ben Serge!
 Jorsh029: Lol, defect was the first character I beat asc 20 act 4 with, Serge 
 Getter404: 20 hours until B U S
 lamina5432: love the defect power deck you just die playing it
 niccus: ben, ben ben, and ben ben ben
 MacbethSeemsSus: The 3rd iteration of Ben
Mai_Andra: Ben Prime
 Dog_of_Myth: Ben Cubed
 mercano82: Everyone knows Ben's last name is Ginering
Mai_Andra: Ben Etc
KWardJenx: This stream was dope. Long live the Long Game!
 Dog_of_Myth:   
 mercano82: How is that going to work, doesn't it use the same space?
 mercano82: Panalists filming, you say?
 Dog_of_Myth: Game rules
 HadesLeprechaun: Wheeler playing car shop simulator and judging Clair Obscuree 33 om rhythm cafe is very good
letsbelgo: Monster Train 2 is dope
 Dog_of_Myth: Nice
 itira: Serge please 
KWardJenx: Thank you. So much fun
commakazi1: you could just play again now
