    Today's was the wildest I've ever seen. Silent, Draft (a new mod, pick your entire starting deck), Lethal Enemies (everyone starts with 3 strength), and Vintage (normal enemies drop relics) synergised perfectly. I drafted almost entirely 0-cost cards and could always play my entire opening hand, which soon reached 10 cards. After a few relics I was dealing 2 poison (plus 4 damage for each debuff, including poison) with every hit from the start, just in case anyone survived turn one. Only the final boss survived past turn two, and only because it was Time Eater. I normally play very slowly, so this was my first win under an hour.

    That was my strategy as well, worked out really nicely.

     

    I thought the perfect-strike-a-palooza of the previous day was hilarious as well (get 3 copies of every card you draft, already start with a 50-card deck). Not quite Mind blast + 50-card deck insane, but close.

    I rewatched it and it was lovely to see all the little hints, but then I also loved it the first time around so I can't speak to what it would be like for you. You seem rather grouchy about the whole thing so I doubt you'll like season 2 significantly more.

     

    Ted Danson's performance is a marvel.

    Ha! Thanks so much for the heads-up, that was hilarious. Ended with 1007 points, making for a respectable #263 at time of writing.

     

    Dead branch with four shiv powers is amazing fun. Of course the boss had to be time eater, but the shuriken ensured that I could overpower it in time.

    Yeah, I think that's probably it! Things also noticeably improved as the talk went on.

     

    It's amusing to me to get two podcast episodes with so much crosstalk back-to-back (Soren's talk with Chris is also like this). It's probably partially because you're friends with the other speaker and know them well enough to see where things are going.

     

    Anyway, thanks again for the great series.

    For me Normal feels about right, I lose like 20% of the games.

     

    I go for two- or three-island victories on squads that I don't feel will scale well, for example on the fire squad when I haven't found good replacement/backup weapons for the prime and artillery mechs. Fire damage is pegged at 1 so things start to get really dicey if that's your main source of damage after three islands still.
