I know you usually do “starting with 10 blank” but what if you started with every ancient card, not including the ones from the characters you aren’t playing. Definitely make it so that you can’t get rid of those cards, maybe limit what cards you can take beyond that. Oh and the ascent doesn’t really matter, but considering how strong the cards are, probably do it on ascent 10.

Fun fact for the divining event: if you choose to divine three, it's actually just mathematically impossible to get the relic. It wasn't about the spot :( They made it exactly the right size and shape to need at least four divinations

challenge idea: defect a10 but with 10 copies of biased cognition. you have access to nearly infinite short term focus, but with every biased cog stack it drains faster.

Not taking adrenaline in a heavy cost deck made me audibly gasp lol

Note: you mentioned that Jeweled Mask contributes to "first hand cloggage". That's not how it works, it puts the power in your hand at the start of combat but doesn't draw it, so you still draw your 5/7(as silent) along with the power.

Great video though, this one definitely felt like one of the more "challenging" "start with 10 X" videos

Here under an hour to say 10 outbreaks likely makes a Pandemic.

18:20 It's impossible to get a relic with the Divine 3 option. The box is 4x4, No matter how you place the divinations it won't cover all the squares.

Okay, idea for a rare relic: Perfect Parry “if you block for the exact amount an enemy attacks for then remove all their buffs and stun them for 1 turn”

I think it’s too conditional to be a boss relic, but the effect is so strong it would be fun to try and play around it with super low block per card like afterimage or feel no pain. It also hard counters multi attacks since it’s on of the only ways to reduce/strip strength.

I also like it because you could thematically tie it in to parrying shield they way they did with the boat and light relics!

Oof some of those card choices really came back to bite you later but luckily enough of the picks were good that it was still winnable

Accession 10 but all defends are eternal armour.

Just finished a run where act 1 boss got me an outbreak, so I took Snecko right after just for that. Luckily I've found Accelerant and won easily. Shame you didn't get the chance to see how insane accelerant + outbreak goes! Still a good run through!

15:29 no burning sticks Adrenaline 😔

Not upgrading the enlightenments is such a shame

7:47 damn not going for the lethal to get the perfect remove

Hahaha the sound effect on Enthralled made me actually chuckle good stuff

This would be a great master planner deck

the s in fresnel is as silent as this character btw

Why not start with 10 of those defect card that channels a random orb or something? The randomness could be something

You start with 10 copies of mayhem, and one strike only allowed to play mayhems

Actually a very fun and hard run, very cool watch !
