I ranked every Colorless Card in Slay The Spire

[Music] youtube hi it's me the frosty guy here with my twitch chat they're they're i told them what is your opinion on youtube and now you can see that they're all saying pogiwonky they all think that you're really really cool so they really wanted you to say come over to the stream if you enjoy the content and also subscribe and then uh get angry at me for some of my opinions on the tier lists sorry for the hawks have a good day now [Music] all right first card up on the list it needs no introduction apotheosis like it's just it's an s to your card but is it a card that's taken every single time no no it's not so it's probably gonna end up at the end of this tier list at the bottom of ester because it's not a card that i want to add a thousand percent of times there's so many times when i'm like in an act three store and ninety percent of my good cards are upgraded and i've got like five strikes in two defends or like five strikes and defense combined that i haven't been upgrading people like no apotheosis oh dude i know that you got like a toxic egg and the frozen egg but like apotheosis look man no big poggies poggies right you gotta remember that the the egg relics are are uncommon they're found often so it is what it is can i pay you to move things uh second up on the list is the apparitions gonna go right next to him but obviously on the left side of apotheosis apparition i mean like there is only the event that you can find him at but like either you don't take it because you don't like the times that you don't take it are because my deck needs to be a certain amount of cards uh or is like doesn't need it i'm trying i scale really fast and then i use a reaper to get back my hp every single time i am the watcher uh or i'm not the size or on the silent and i already have nightmare wraith form right like sometimes you just don't need it and it just takes up too many cards in your deck but i mean most of the time i mean it's just it's just this is kind of fantastic bandage up bandage up it just heals you for a little bit of hp and it exhausts we go from an s tier and we're going down to an f tier man i can't support the bandage up some again let me let me reiterate as we add our first f here because sometimes people get a little bit butthurt that i add things into a lower tier if i add something to a lower tier does that mean that card is always bad never take no unless they explicitly say it like flash it is a little bit of healing but it takes up a a card in your deck so you have to draw it and then play it a lot of a lot of fights the time eater the heart fight the yadda yadda yaddas you don't want to be playing all these cards and then some fights give you status cards so if you're drawing three dazes a bandage up and a defend against the 31 damage hit from the chosen in act 2 like you're just gonna [ __ ] cry so like you want to fill your cards up with with not only good cards or cards that you are able to be played but also good quality cards and bandage up just tends not to be it sometimes it is there's very few times like i was saying just because a card isn't f-tier unless i explicitly say it it doesn't mean that it's absolutely useless why is self-repair so much better than bandage up so that's a good example you got to take into account everything that comes in here right um the defect or the card like self-repair is for a deck that builds up stuff while taking damage and then has self-reliance and then can block everything and then can heal right and that's what the defect does and the defect does that beautifully right the defect builds up frost orbs takes a little bit of damage getting that focus in place and then we'll put a self repair in play in order to be able to heal the 10 damage that it that the that it took during that but other classes tend to do that less tend to do that a little bit less and also the defect has a lot of very common good draw techniques uh so it just it there's not a whole lot like you could you could definitely add it but also how often are you finding a bandage up right like you're only seeing it as a colorless card in specific events and shops versus the defect you can take it early and then you can build your deck around it but like it's very it's like what am i gonna go am i gonna go into a shop in act one and be like oh my god bandage up let me spend 100 gold on that not really i thought oh my god let's build my entire deck around healing six at the end for every fight oh my [ __ ] god that's amazing right because it's in its only single use as well because we are coming in to the next card which is bite and bite we're obviously taking into account the bite event right you lose hp or you lose blood vial in the very specific case that you have it and you get to add five bites to your deck the only time that is like bite is like a snap pick right it's like a snap pick in every situation is you still have all your strikes if you still have all your strikes you're probably going to take bites like you're you you know if you especially if you're one of the classes that has five strikes like the the iron clad or the silent you're just gonna snap it you're gonna pick it it does help sustain your deck um and it is that version of a card like bandage up that it allows you to build up like a strong thing that your deck is doing and then heal up or if your deck is like normally you know with all the cards that i have in my deck i'm usually taking chip damage over and over again this just mitigates the chip damage no i think bites are pretty fantastic the issue is the fact that it gives you the five bites is most of the time you'll see people not take them either because it's too much max hp to lose but mainly because it's five of them because you have to take five five is just too [ __ ] many not many decks can support taking five of one card at once in an instance and be okay most decks are gonna suffer for that and for that i put it in c gear just because it's you gotta take into account how you get it like if i could just take one bite at a time i would definitely put it in b or a but it's the [ __ ] tier it's not the comes here c tier is not to come to your chat let us get that out of the way right now it's not to come to here if the event was replace your remaining strikes with bytes um and it cost seven max hp per strike that would be easy that would be st that would be it that that would be as good as apparitions in my opinion comment here come to your come to your 25 gifted subs i'll make it to come to you anyways uh blind zero cost apply too weak upgraded applies weak to everyone in the fight this is oftentimes a pick for me you'll i take this card often times and then it's not that good like it doesn't feel that good but sometimes it can be really good just an easy way to apply blind or weakening over and over again can be really good and i usually will take it later in the game when my deck already has a lot of draw efficiency usually in the act 3 event where you get to choose a bunch of colorless cards or in a late game store where you have a bunch of money built up and that's usually the time where you can pick on the colorless cards in the shop line i think definitely goes on the b tier it's solid it's not the best uh upgraded it's way better if if i have a toxic egg it's a pretty much a snap pick at a shop for me uh yeah it's it's uh decent decent decent decent next up chrysalis shuffle three or five random skills if upgraded into your draw pile and they cost zero this combat chrysalis is a weird one the zero this combat is is really nice i think that's the key word there is combat it's not when played it's this entire combat you're getting free skills put into your deck uh but it also does cost you two mana to play and then you have to draw those skills and those skills could also be useless like literally useless and could also hurt you in a lot of fights the hard fight the time eater fights those fights we're playing as specific cards is bad the chosen fights the et cetera et cetera so i like chrysalis i do but the main time that i'm only ever taking it is from a start i'm not really gonna take it from a shop um like i've taken it a couple of times from a shop uh but i'm i'm not really gonna take it from like the event right because it again it adds too many cards to the deck usually by a get to act three or late game shops uh it's i i'm already developed what i'm doing with my deck and i don't want much more really can be good on ironclad especially if you have corruption or a dark embrace it can be fantastic there because it's like a mini corruption where it'll give you zero cost where ironclad skills oftentimes either exhaust something or exhaust themselves uh so i'm gonna put it in b tier a tier if you're iron clad i think that's fair ironclad i would i would uh recommend really thinking hard about pla about taking it dark shackles is the most commonly added card that is colorless that i add to my deck and it is going to go at the top of ester to me dark shackles is [ __ ] awesome it is [ __ ] phenomenal against a lot of the act two elites two out of three of them it's fantastic if not it's literally just 15 block like it's literally just 15 block upgraded it does nine uh nine block or 15 block upgraded like it's absolutely [ __ ] incredible it is it is insane it is a snap pick you should take it every single time take it if you can afford it in a shop i think dark shackles is is uh is is very very very good next up is deep breath you shuffle your discard pile so that is a key there that's the key there that a lot of people don't realize you shuffle your discard pile and you draw one card or two cards if it's upgraded the shuffling your discard pile is something that i feel like a lot of people overlook and they take it even though it's like not going to be very good for them because if you've if you like let's say you have uh let's say you have like a 30 card deck not uncommon for you late game to have a 30 card deck you've got a couple of key powers you got a defrag you got a you've got a consume you got these things that you need to get in play in order for it to be really good you've got a [ __ ] apotheosis yeah you got you got all these things that are good and you're 15 cards down in your deck and you're like oh [ __ ] well i drew my deep breath i could look for the apotheosis now it happens more with the defect card it reshuffles your draw pile but i think that people oftentimes fall into the trap of this as well can be really good if you have a specific relics if you've got uh uh if you got the homie aka the abacus if you've got a sundial it could be absolutely [ __ ] phenomenal it's really good if you have a small deck though if you have just like a couple of key powers you know if you're doing like a shiv build that has like a shuriken like you just have to draw your couple of key cards over and over again it could be awesome like it could be really good it's very good if you have runic pyramid if you if you take runic pyramid um then you're you have a lot of your cards in your deck you have a 20 card deck you don't have many cards to shuffle it could be really really good in that sense um but yeah i would i would i would put it in in a high b tier i don't take it often no i probably put a below blind because i wouldn't take it as much as blind but i do like i do like a deep breath because i tend to be more refined with my decks that i find that's my play style is is tending to be on the smaller side all right next up on the list is discovery choose one of three random cards from your class that is key uh choose one of three cards from your class and it will cost zero this turn pretty good uh if upgraded it just doesn't exhaust so you can play it more times in a fight uh so it doesn't need to be upgraded it's a good one-time use i it's kind of plays off like the hearthstone mechanics of like discovering cards it's it's pretty good i'm not taking it often i find like it's like like if what we're gonna come across with a lot of these cards by the time that you're seeing a lot of colorless cards it is too late in the game to want to take it right because a lot of times you're gonna see colorless cards in act three that's where you're taking a lot of shops that's where you're taking the the event they can see you a lot of cards um and so yeah you're just you like by this time my deck is most likely functioning times where i like it if i'm exhaust heavy on the iron clad if uh like i need just like an extra little boost i think it'd be pretty good inside of a deck with like a strange spoon that wants to like just have another card to possibly not exhaust and you don't want to upgrade it because like this thing giving it an upgrade feels weird i think it's just really strong early especially upgraded oh yeah i think it's i think it could be fantastic early to get like a zero cost attack to bonk something really hard but like by the late game you're you're already scared you should be already scaling enough to be able to deal with threats so i'm gonna put discovery in the seat there but i'll put it above bites because bites can knights can lick my balls all right next up dramatic entrance deals six damage to all enemies and exhaust i think it's nine damage upgraded uh not exactly sure actually but it does it is a name that's the issue is that it is innate it starts in your opening hand i put it down in pp poopoo tier it's really strong upgraded it's really strong up or not upgraded it's really strong early it's uh upgraded it's 12 damage wait no right [ __ ] jesus okay it's really strong it's really really really really really really strong early if you get it early and you get alcabecco yeah all these sort of things it's really strong but when you roll into the donudeka fight and they got like 300 hp a piece and like what are you going to do you go oh my god i do this and like you know one true grit and like if you like if you have a bag of prep is really really good i'll take it on the silent a couple of times or if i already have a bag of prep um or if i have some sort of like bottle draw mechanic something like that it's eight to twelve this is the old version of the card you are very correct thank you stedberg i appreciate that man i it shows you how much i take this card if you have something you can take it yeah if you've got gamba chip you can take it but like overall i'm not impressed with this card like again it needs things to roll with and because it needs things to roll with and it's not strong in and of itself we we move it down we move it down next up is enlightenment we're putting this one of the gates here the first one to jump into the a tier to move all of the other things uh the entire thing down the first one to jump into the eighth here i think this card's fantastic i think it's really good with runic pyramid and snekoi which are two of the strongest relics in the game that you're often going to be taking but even even other than that if you have a lot of draw in your deck it can easily you know you draw a bunch of cards and upgraded by the way it says reduce all cards in your hand that cost one upgraded it makes them cost one for the rest of combat so if you've got a meteor strike in your deck one plus meteor strike for the rest of the damn games oh now of course it will get overrided if you have stucco eye but i ain't complaining but either way it can make playing your demon forms easier it can make you know if you um if you if you if you enlightenment like a wraith form and [ __ ] and then it just it it's uh yeah it's super pumped up very very strong is this card just not worse bullet time though yes but it's available to all classes exactly what pepe sylvia just said yeah and it costs zero exactly yeah so i wouldn't say it's a worse version of bullet time i think it's in an and so it literally costs zero also you can still draw after playing it no so i would say it's an adjacent if not better bullet time all right next up finesse you get a little bit of block and you draw a card that's a beater it's it's like okay i'm never gonna buy it like if you bought you buying this [ __ ] in the shop man that you better be the silent or like the watcher with a bunch of uh with a with a bunch of like like a kunai or something is i it's eightier if you don't buy it no like why why the heck are you taking this in the like why are you taking this in the in the in the in the event that you have to take 10 damage for it there's probably a better car next to it or you know it's better just nothing and it ain't free against the time meter ain't free once the heart has this dealing three damage on the beat of death those are two major fights where you need to be hyper prepared for because they add doo-doo into your deck and make you need to play things very hyper specifically saying that something's free nothing free in this world man the only thing that's guaranteed in the world is death and taxes and those ain't free what about from prismatic shard like i said i would take it if i was you know had a lot of dexterity scaling uh because i think it's fantastic with dexterity scaling i think it's fantastic if you're trying to go infinite with it i think it's an infinite enabler uh if you've got like a sundial and then you've got a pommel strike and you need another draw card in order to be able to you know you can go with with the with with flash of steel which is right next to it which is going to go next to it inside of uh the thing i mean yeah did they they i'm i'm more likely to take a flash of steel though than i am a finesse i i'd like a free attack more than i like a free defend because this feels like it does virtually nothing this feels like it it does virtually nothing plus one and there's more things in the game that combo with playing a bunch of attacks then there are the combo with playing a bunch of skills you've got like letter opener over here which is you've got like shuriken ornamental fan kunai shouldn't be above it then true what's the beta art oh dude normally we do open up the game and we do look at beta arts and we do scale these cards off of beta arts normally we do that we do don't we france prime you've fallen off not doing the same thing we'll do it at the end we'll do it at the end all right next up is four thought put a card from your hand to the bottom of your draw pile and it costs zero until played i'm gonna tell you that this card is so trash i don't even know what the upgrade does this card is so [ __ ] ass i don't even know what it does upgraded upgrading this is meant is any number of cards so you can put you can just trash your entire hand i don't know what it does either it's just bad i've literally only used it once to play grand finale yeah that's that's where i can see it being played it's f dear it's [ __ ] terrible yeah it's negative two draw yeah you got to think about it like that it's you're literally saying this demon form is so expensive that i need to play it in two turns and then wait another turn for it to be good that's is [ __ ] awful that's ass all right next up is a good instincts the instincts i would say is the top of b it's an upgraded deflect it's a free block card that i'm pretty sure now this is this is uh old card this is a six unupgraded block correct me if i'm wrong this is unupgraded six block upgraded i believe uh eight block right nine upgraded i think that makes sense but i'm not i'm not buying it most of the time i'm just taking it from the act three event but it's good it's easy to play and it blocks for a handy amount per card quality it's yeah all right next up is hand of greed deal 20 or 25 damage of upgraded and if it kills a non-minion enemy gained 20 or 25 gold if upgraded i'm gonna put that at the upper echelon of up the upper end of uh ether i don't think it's asked here because there's only two times that you're taking this card because you get a really early membership card and then find it in a shop or you find it from your starting reward that's the only time you're not you're not what are you going to spend 250 gold on this [ __ ] 210 gold and then and then you're gonna that you're gonna like you gotta you gotta [ __ ] kill ten things and then like you gotta like slow it's like a that's a heck investment that's a omega investment sometimes if you take 250 gold you might click on it in the shop if there's nothing else most of the time you're gonna look later on in the act and be like oh there's another shop coming up i'm gonna go up to that one it doesn't exhaust that is a big plus of it yeah a big plus is the fact that it doesn't exhaust so it's just a big slappy blappy i do like that is sometimes yeah but like like sometimes you'll take it in like an act two shop if you got like necronomicon and snekoi but like yeah i don't know no you're most of the time only gonna be taking this either extremely early on because you've got a lucky setup or you're gonna be taking it uh from your whale reward and it is it is fantastic as a whale reward as a well reward this thing lasts the entire game makes you a bunch of money uh it's it makes you but like buying it at a shop even thornton would say that's a bad investment impatience if you have no attacks in your hand draw two cards upgraded draw three cards i think that's another eight tier card i think this is a great card a lot of times later on in the game you only have a certain amount of attacks in your deck it's more often that you get rid of all your strikes then you get rid of all your defense uh and it tends to be you want to take those key attacks that are really really good uh and you tend to be able to get them out of your hand the silent has ways to discard cards the uh watcher has the ways to play a billion cards the a lot of the silent cards are also on in her skills um yeah it's uh it's a it's a really good card i take this card very often buy it from shops more often than i'd like to admit jack of all trades why the [ __ ] do i want this card why the [ __ ] do i want it man if this said add a random color this card to your hand and you make it cost zero i would say it's like maybe you bottom a beat here but like add a random color this card to your hand and then i gotta play it then i gotta i gotta do it at it at the exact cost huh nah it's a d is is it d tier should it be an f tier let me think what is the upgrade it adds two random colorless cards and you want to know what it can do as well it can add itself and it seems to do that way too [ __ ] often f because it can give you fourth on all right true i've been convinced all right next up is gonna be a controversial one jake's lose three hp and gain two strength i'm not gonna give my any opinion on this card i'm gonna put it inside of what category i think i'm already seeing a vastly different slappage uh like like of rankings everyone's saying different stuff i'm gonna put in the eight but then you're like tristan you don't take it off yeah it's because transforming strikes in act two is as dear that just weighs what it is transforming two of your starting cards is just estier like that is the reason that it is not taken often is because doing other the other thing at that event is just better but jax is actually incredibly good it is it is very unlikely that in your run you won't get some sort of a sustained rally at some point in your run might be later might be earlier you might get a sustained rally it's also unlikely that you can't tap for three damage every single fight most most care most of the runs that you take could tap for three damage every single fight now the issue is is you have to draw it and play it and then also do your defensive stuff so it's not always going to be a take right it's not always going to be a take but if there was an event that didn't allow me to transform and had jacks available i'm taking jax probably six to seven times out of ten all right next up is madness reduce the cost of a random card in your hand to zero this combat costs zero if upgraded i'm putting that at the top of bu busted tier uh beats here i'll take it sometimes the best times that it's available is when you've got like one expensive replayable card that you can reliably make cost to zero every combat through like runic pyramid or something like that uh other than that though usually you don't want them in your deck because it's it the event that gives you two madnesses feels similar to the bite event where you don't want two of them and but sometimes i take them sometimes if you have a lot of draw it can easily create an infinite that's like the best place that i would say is if you have a lot of draw on your deck but a few number of cards and you're looking to play just a couple of key cards over and over again this can easily make an infinite for you madnesses can easily make infinites for you all right magnetism at the start of your turn add a random colorless card to your hand it can give you forethought yeah magnetism is [ __ ] terrible it it's a it's an expensive power upgraded if you're gonna pay the the upgrade to upgrade it it's [ __ ] awful man if you actually buy it then d tier you're gonna pay money for this what the [ __ ] is a [ __ ] rare card man this is expensive master of strategy i'm gonna put right behind the dark shackles it's just a great card you don't need i mean if it if it doesn't exhaust with like a strange spoon it's insane but if it does exhaust it doesn't [ __ ] matter i'll pay 200 gold for this in the shop sometimes because it helps you get to your key powers it helps you get to the stuff that you need to get off so that your deck scales a little bit faster it's literally free draw exactly like what more do you [ __ ] want and it is enough draw that it pays itself in the price of both the blood tax against the heart and the card tax against the time meter it just lets you see enough stuff i love it man anyways mayhem at the start of the turn play the top card of your draw pile i'm gonna let mayhem sit down here in a nice cozy seat here let me explain my reasoning everybody likes mayhem it's the claw of color this card that tell you this one man if it's upgraded two men if it's not upgraded it plays the top card of your drop pile most of the time you're not going to want it in your deck because you've got key cards that you don't want to play willy nilly wraith form ritual dagger feeds hand of greeds uh jacks if you've got buffers right like there's a lot of times you're not gonna wanna take this card in your deck and then when you're like dude this this deck could definitely use a mayhem you didn't say this because you don't actually expect this card to ever show up in your runs because it's a rare colorless card you're not like you're never like wow you know what this deck could use a [ __ ] mayhem wow i really could like at this point in my life i could really use a mayhem it can definitely have its place it can easily have its place until you fiend fire away your entire hand with a runic pyramid deck been there done that metamorphosis it's like the chrysalis but it is for attacks shuffle three random attacks into your draw pile or five if upgraded and they cost zero this combat i think this card is a tier chrysalis taken from a colorless rare card that you get from the whale reward that you're probably not going to want to take a chrysalis it's not going to do very well but a metamorphosis is going to [ __ ] slap in act one it's gonna [ __ ] slap and i know this is a controversial pick you can see the people in my chat be like whoa whoa whoa what tell me you've never taken a metamorphosis off of your whale award but i'm telling you you've never taken a metamorphosis off your wearable ward it's only good in that very specific case but you'll see it often enough because a rare colorless card is an option for a lot of uh your starting relics and metamorphosis is a good is a good take it's a good take against gremlin knob it's gonna help you have more attacks in your deck so that you don't [ __ ] lose and don't have to play too many spells against lagavulin you can set up against lagavulin what better card than set to set up than zero cost attacks and against tri-centuries you want to flood your deck with cards so that you don't have more uh the cards to to play yeah this there's a i'm not saying it is good late game i'm not saying it's the best card late game it's also not the [ __ ] worst card late game every single class has a card that you wouldn't mind this getting turned into late game yeah but i agree but card gets annoying late game yeah and you want to know what you do when you when it's annoying later you either don't play it or remove it but like you look at you look at the [ __ ] iron clad i wouldn't mind playing a zero cost bludgeon even late into the game defect i wouldn't mind playing a zero cost meteor strike late into the game slash thunder late in the game silent i wouldn't mind a zero cost sneaky strike late into the game for more energy on my runic pyramid deck yeah we got to stop with the whataboutism everything in this game is situational yeah and so i think for the value that it can provide you in this cause like we have to take into account the situations that you see it that's why bite is in sea tier right if we're taking into account the situations where you most see this card that's that's what you have to think the the reason that jax isn't isn't isn't isn't higher up is because the event that you see it all right next up mind blast i don't play unless it's after in endless runs mind blast can be good in your normal runs it's not really ever good it deals damage equal to the number of cards in your draw pile it like if you if you've got a a really fat deck you probably don't even want this card either because your deck has too many other good things in it you don't need a 40 damage two minute card yeah it's also good in dailies yeah again yeah it's good with custom runs it's it's not a card that's made for normal slay the spire therefore yeah all right ups next panacea gain one artifact two artifact if upgraded drop it up there in the s tier too many classes in this game in fact all of them have one thing or another that you would like to play an artifact before and then not have the thing that happens that is negative in that thing if it happens every single class has it very good we like artifacts here we like artifacts very pogers big good poggers take it good against specific bosses good against specific enemies good against the sneko enemy if you have a rudic pyramid it's good against the uh the good against the chosen because the chosen [ __ ] sucks ass panache every time you play five cards in a single turn deal 10 damage or upgraded more damage i can't remember the exact number chat's going to correct me uh to all enemies panache is great but it's only great in specific cases it's only is in the meme you think panash is in the mean pair do you think panash is 14 thought it was 14. i didn't want him to speak to you uh you think penash is in the meme tier dog huh i think that you are surely mistaken i think that it is in the high a tier i think panache is incredible the iron clad oftentimes you have exhaust stuff you play a thousand cards a turn panache helps with that silent shivs exist and this card exists the defect sometimes i need a little bit more damage when i'm running a very defensive draw draw draw draw cool had a cool head cool to cool it could have draw draw draw draw cool let it cool it quilted do i need another cool out of my deck yeah cause i need to get in my defrocks faster draw draw draw draw quilt equivalent good draw draw draw draw it's damage right and then the watcher just goes infinite off everything so she doesn't really ever need it but like it also exists sometimes you know sometimes you can it makes things like go a little bit faster when you get your infinite by the end of act one so i think it's b tier because pocket watch exists you are basing how good a rare colorless card is based off of a rare relic you realize that you see rare relics less often than you see like boss relics you can definitely base your entire deck off a pocket watch but that is usually late game you still like will transition off of it because playing just three cards a turn is usually an easy recipe to lose all the time like if you're only playing off pocket watch all the time you're gonna lose panic button gain 30 block but you can't gain any block from cards specifically that say you don't gain block on them for the next two turns bank this is an incredible card this is a [ __ ] awesome card when i first started playing the game i was nervous about tang fanny but i was nervous about it i was nervous about taking this card i think that uh a lot of people are younger to the game are gonna be nervous about taking this card don't be nervous this card's [ __ ] awesome this card is amazing in most games or most in most decks uh you're gonna have alternative ways to block whether that's negating debuffs so that you can then play your block cards again soft spot a self spanning button whether it's uh holding all of your block with barricade whether it's feel no pains giving you block whether it's discarding giving you block whether it's playing a bunch of shivs giving you block whether it's you holding black with blurs or calipers or mental fortresses or talk to the hands or on the defect you got your frosty orbs there's so many different ways that that you gain block in this game that aren't just off of i play card it literally is like the definition of you know what it does the same thing that an apparition does except it's not guaranteed to block the entirety of it right like it it does the exact same thing where it buys you a turn it buys you a turn to get your stuff in play and that's what you need sometimes all right up next purity i think it's going to go at the top of hey tear the top of beats here because i like to take runic pyramid a lot it's a it's a boss relic that i mean it's a boss relic that i take pretty often and purity can help you deal with stressful situations especially if you got like an infinite uh especially if you've got uh you know going up against enemies that have status cards yeah it's it's uh it's just it's just quite the solid effect that's why i put it in b tier because it's a very situational of whether you want it or not you're probably not going to take it most of the time i feel like that's what you're going to get once you get into beats here in the a2 you're going to get cards that i'm going to take a decent number of times maybe like minus this end of eight here uh but once you get into b there it's those cards that you don't see quite as often very very very bloggers ritual dagger [Music] i want to see where chat rates ritual dagger before i say anything i put it at the top of ester deal 15 damage if it kills an enemy it permanently increases the damage done by that thing by three or five i'm gonna put at the top of ester possibly one of the best cards in the game possibly it's thumbnail tier two also true also true it is also anytime you have it in your run you or every time every time you take it you easily can just put it in your thumbnail very true almost every single time that you get it if you're playing it correctly it's dealing 70 or more damage for one mana it is uh insane and then you take into account any sort of multipliers in the game fantasma killer vulnerable uh the watcher being the watcher in the many ways that the watcher can be watcher and at the very least at the very least one man of 15 damage is already a good card and you kill like three things with it and it's dealing like one man of 30 damage that's [ __ ] insane man so yeah it is it is easily without a doubt one of the best cards in the game one of the best cards in the game i am putting it above apparitions i'm putting above dark shackles it's just that sometimes you come across this event the the times that you don't take it is when your deck isn't good isn't good at setting things up if your deck isn't good at setting things up it's not going to be good for your deck right if you're running a poison build things are just going to die if you're running combust things are just going to die if you're playing the watcher and you've got a bottled blasphemy in ragnarok things are just gonna die like sometimes you just have a deck or you got feet you've already got hand of greed you've already got your fatal card then yeah you're probably not gonna want a ritual dagger in there but if your deck is cool with taking things slow and has consistent blocking mechanisms in order to be able to set up a kill with a ritual dagger it is going to carry your run easily a thousand percent biggest ritual dagger i've ever had is 135 damage which is nuts i don't remember what mine was at i think hold on no i i got a thumbnail i got a thumbnail for you hold on pause 945 damage it's kind of nasty i do think that that's a good card and i stand by my tearless ranking sadistic nature whenever you apply a debuff to an enemy deal three it's actually five damage now or seven damage upgraded this is uh these are old old card old statistic has been buffed sadistic nature is going in deep here oh my god a poison poison poison twitter poison twitching when you put the poison and when you end there so much that you could do anything i get it but here's here's my here's my counter here's my counter to your here's my counter to your thing here's my counter to your thing if you've already got a lot of poison you already win but you don't need it you don't you don't need it man yeah and venom sadistic ship yeah so i gotta have venom a rare card and then sadistic and then also not have a billion poison already like it's just it's not it's not enough damage that i'm ever gonna want it in my deck usually sometimes you can make it work so does slushie stay with the phone sometimes again that's why it's indeed here and not all the way down and after i think it's i think it's more viable than the rest of these every single time that i've ever tried to make a sadistic nature deck work either either one of two things happened i lost because the deck sucked or two statistic nature didn't [ __ ] matter like it literally doesn't matter all right secret technique put a scale from your drop pile into your hand and if you upgrade it it doesn't exhaust as a s to your card you usually don't give a [ __ ] about it being upgraded usually you don't need secret technique to being upgraded usually you can just you usually can just go it it applies its thing once it's not usually a card that i i care about doing things multiple times sometimes though sometimes but not usually it's just a fantastic card to be able to fish out uh a key thing that i need to do that turn if i need an apparition it does that if i need draw it does that if i need my dark shackles it does that if i need my apotheosis it does that i need my yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda if i need my seek if i secret technique for my seek for my echo form is pretty good all right next up secret weapon it's the antithesis to secret technique you put an attack from your drop pile into your hand instead and of course if you upgrade it it doesn't exhaust i put it in the seat here often times you're not needing to fish for key attacks classes that you do need to do it watcher would like talk to the hand and effects like that uh but most of the times you don't need to fish for a specific attack does combo well with your ritual dagger but again hyper specific cases so i'll put in the seat here you're gonna take us sometimes sometimes you're not i don't know why the [ __ ] this tier list has shiv in it i'll put it in the f every five gifted subs i move it up one uh swift strike is zero mana six damage it's it's a slash i mean it's it's uh it's i i'll put it in the d tier i'm very rarely ever taking this card or slice excuse me it's a slice from like the the silent thank you thunder egg for the five gifted subscriptions all right next up is zabumba the bombs two mana at the beginning of uh at the end of three turns deal 40 or 50 damage if upgraded to all enemies in combat i have made bomb work recently in a couple of videos right i did the bomb video i did a video where i took bomb naturally and and i made it work but in reality the bombs kind of [ __ ] in reality the bomb is absolute butthole i gotta in three turns i'm gonna deal 40 damage waiting that long for just that little bit of damage is like i need to do that faster i need to do that faster most of the time and for cheaper all right thinking ahead i mean the the upgrade of this is taking off the exhaust it's literally just a war cry i'm rarely ever going to take it off of the whale ward unless i get a really really really bad roll uh i'll sometimes take it as like a cop out or if i need more exhaust effects from the the event in act three i'm never gonna buy it at the shop i'm gonna put at the bottom of me here again it's just a it's just a war cry but it's rare it's just a war cry plush but it's rare why is j-o-a-t when so many of the colorless cards are high tier why jack of all trades i had the i had to figure that one out why you don't need to abbreviate everything in the world jack of all trades because it can give you the bad cards and you got to realize that the only cards that you actually want in your deck often enough for jack of all trades is in this row and even then i'm not even i'm not wanting panacea on every turn i'm not excited to see that i'm not needing an apotheosis on every turn especially if it's going to cost too [ __ ] mana i'm not gonna need i mean i can't get apparition i can't get rich with dagger and better yet i can't give you shivs like i want like a dark shackles and a master of strategy or a panic button [ __ ] draw a hand degree cool like i might be able to use it enlightenment's going to be useless this is going to be useless this is going to be you you can't get this this is going to be useless because you have to pay mana for it this is going to be useless this could be useless like they're all [ __ ] useless colorless cards are very situational so that's why with transmutation you ask x number of colorless cards to your hand and they cost zero this turn as after i have to spend all of my mana to get cards that only cost zero mana this turn it's not even this combat like chrysalis and metamorphosis is literally only this turn yeah it's [ __ ] off i mean we're literally going over how most of these cards are [ __ ] ass anyways the cards that are good are only good because you know what you're getting jack of all trades is bad because you don't know what you're getting and most colorless cards are bad unless you build around them yeah exactly trip all right tripp is the antithesis the blind and honestly if i could put two cards on top of each other it'd be tripping blind i think that they're exactly equal and i i don't care which order these go in i think that these two cards are pretty much exactly equal maybe if i really had to think about it trip is [Music] slightly worse just [Music] the slightly worse again these these cards are both situational so i mean you might say that you take blind more often because free defenses is better than free offensive but i think in like overall usefulness i think they're pretty good yeah trip upgraded dealing do a tr stripping artifact from donuts is uh fantastic violence chat what do you guys think of violence put four attack cards from your draw pile into your hand what do you think of violence i prefer it over secret weapon b or a c b c c b d f i changed my mind i said earlier that i think that madness was the most underrated card not that it's really good but that most people will underrate the value of madness i changed my mind i think that violence is possibly the most underrated card out of all of the colorless cards i think that violence is either high a tier or low esteer and let me explain my reasoning it's gonna be used it's two times that you're gonna draw violence you're either gonna draw it really really early in your in your draw and you can draw all your attacks to do one of two things kill one guy aka sneaky gremlin in a multi-faceted fight in a multi-enemy fight you can use it to snipe or you use it to it's like a strainer right it's like you pour all of your cards into a deck and you sift off sift and it strains out all the other cards and you're left with your attacks so you can throw them in the garbage and then you can draw in the next turns you're better cards i need to get my corruption darken brace off i need to get my defrags off i need to get my wraith form off i need to get this and that and the the noxious fumes i need to get my [ __ ] up right it helps you get that [ __ ] off so that when you reshuffle your decks and start drawing your attacks you're scaling you're moving along because what [ __ ] sucks more than turn to turn three of like a fight like the chosen or the tri-centuries when you need to get a couple of things off to to to to get things moving that you you tuned to your [ __ ] [ __ ] dude i drew strike strike defend because on turn two i'm not drawing seven cards like on this island right or you draw it right at the end of your deck right you draw it right at the end in the middle it's where it's the worst part that's where the violence suffers but if you draw it at the end of your deck right as you reshuffle your draw pile now you've got your [ __ ] in play it's just an enabler man it's an enabler to uh either filtering your deck or for uh popping off when you need to when you need to like have that turn where you execute where you execute your stuff i think i think violence is phenomenal and it's underrated and i think that it's underrated because of the fact that you just don't see it often you know you either see it next to an apotheosis in your whale ward and you just click apotheosis and don't even realize three seconds later you you can't even remember what the other two cards were because you saw apotheosis poggers poggers boggers or you see it late game and you've already stripped your deck of all of your strikes and defends so you don't mind that you know you don't want to have another card in your deck but i i think that like when you need violence it [ __ ] performs dude all right paid our time it's time for the beta art looksy daisy do we need to move any cards up or down based on how good or bad their beta arts because both of those count apparition if i could move it up i would it's great bite seems like it's a move up man i'm gonna be honest seems like chad is wanting to move bite up one [Music] move jack down jack also going into the b tier [ __ ] up the entire list ritual dagger it can't go up anymore man it can't go up anymore what the [ __ ] they have a [ __ ] transcends all power and reality shiv beta art why is it a toothbrush it's a toothbrush oh because prison because of prison we're moving shiv up to transcend reality as well all right it's not better than ritual dagger though [ __ ] what's the burn beta art dude it's the dazed beta art you slimed ester oh ye oh no i don't like it [Music] all right ban the job will ban the job get out of f dear the only thing that can save it gotta make a new tear for it as well [ __ ] this man dark sh sorry blind chad is saying it should be moved up move it up move blind up dark shackles i don't i don't like this i'm keeping that where it is beta art for what the [ __ ] can't say move it up all right it's now an eight here as well discovery beta art no i'm not moving this this is average hearthstone enjoyer right here i'm not moving this this does not move this is not getting moved you can't even pay me to move this all right dramatic entrance what the [ __ ] that's the defect as the phantom of the opera how do you tell that that's the defect they have eyes enlightenment what the [ __ ] what the [ __ ] dude what the hell we leave in a dub decent but we're leaving it finesse it's a lobster it's a crab why is it a crab it's a crab threading a needle through its claws that requires finesse that's it that's it it's that literally the crab has nothing to do with it big meaty claws all right we already have flash of steel this is we already use flash of steel's upgrade or it's beta art because it is it's so [ __ ] good yeah we're moving it up easily move it up move it up i love it so much it's just like if chat was playing with me alongside me they do virtually nothing but they're there to participate all right fourth thought can four thought get out of the f here that's a no move to me that's a no move good instincts the shopkeeper catching a fly you can see the path of the fight too it did a loop-de-loop blindfolded yeah well he's already blindfolded he already has a mask on also yeah we'll move him up impatience who draws to kill a clock that's might be the most ones that i've ever seen that was the most one votes that i've ever seen i'm moving it up to sliver tier all right can jack of all trades can jack of all trades get out of f dear yes or no it's not doing it for me madness up or madness beta art oh [ __ ] that's what the [ __ ] boo no that actually makes sense yeah because the iron clad gets corruption so now we move it down to the come tier all right mind blast maybe mind bless can be the one that transcends out of f there boo i actually think this is so [ __ ] terrible chance say chad said overall staying the same couple of ones decent amount of threes but a lot of twos look at how thick his deck was though true did have a big deck panacea normally a little potion okay one in the chat if you see the little face on panacea like you see this as eyes like for me i've i always thought this was a little guy like a little little tubby guy that was there to give you assistance in battle i don't know i always saw a face anyways beta art boom all right move it down one of the few move downs panic button it says execute execute x it used to be a times three attack i'm pretty sure yeah we move that one out panic button transcends purity biblically accurate angel i just don't like this art style man all right swift strike punching a bird in a face that's gonna take a lot to beat it you're literally punching a bird that might be the worst one out of all of the out of all of the beta arts get [ __ ] put down to after you useless sack of [ __ ] trip what the [ __ ] the [ __ ] the blurriness of it i don't understand what the [ __ ] what okay chad says to move it up look this also implies motion chad do you think that this person is just statically sitting here like a yoga pose because there's no motion blur to indicate that they're moving all right apotheosis the goated card that we all love i'm confused what is this can't explain is this some sort of religious thing it's a meteor hitting this spire uh let's wish upon a star so let's think of the 14 months yeah ass i like big bright colors please chrysalis what the [ __ ] why is he thinking of cool headed why is he thinking of cool the card [ __ ] what what the hell out of all of the characters the defect is least likely all right chad wants chrysalis moved up it's cause the skill he wants oh zero cost cool headed true all right hand of greed again big bright colors you got a delicious looking hand that i would like to go on little cheeto thingies [Laughter] i'm gonna make this into a thumbnail next time i get hand of greed i'm going to make that into a thumbnail moving it up magnetism can magnetism get out of left here what the [ __ ] is that what the [ __ ] is that what the [ __ ] is that that is a [ __ ] sleep paralysis demon holy [ __ ] man the first person to give five subs gets to decide where that goes [ __ ] that dude all right master of strategy can it beat the queen's gambit alt fall out they give the five gifted i'll fall out one two or three my friends god tears sleep demon it's now a dtr are you happy i hate this this is moving down master of strategy you get moved down metamorphosis if it's as good as chrysalis we should be pogging grouse not pogging panache what you guys are all saying one i don't get it panacea's charisma isn't it oh is it i don't know what panache means yeah i skipped a bunch sorry i skipped a row slam me a mayhem what the [ __ ] is this like a danny phantom reference chad's saying mayhem should go up and i hate you for that where's my mayhem mayhem goes up now in the bottom of beat here all right sadistic nature yeah we'll move it up i'll move it up yeah yeah you guys like your undertales i know i know secret technique what the [ __ ] what the hell there's a lot of twos that's a lot of twos chad is very uh decisive on that one secret weapon and we go from some random reference that i didn't understand to now one did all of us understand get up there secret weapon you deserve it buddy boomba is an easy one to beat this is an easy one to beat [Laughter] thinking ahead a pretty fun art when you actually look at it but what is this posture this posture is so alarming three three he's moving down moving down what the [ __ ] just spit everywhere man holy [ __ ] dude moving down this is the the grandma from the spongebob episode that likes chocolate can you tell the difference can you tell the difference all right transmutation [Laughter] that's saying move it up the [ __ ] that was down here all right another meme another card comes out of f tier man all right and finally violence it looks like the little skill is covering up the fat dong violence also gonna transcend into all power in reality transcending all power in reality can we see the way to art for the other colorless cards that are character unique oh yeah no they're not on the list yeah yeah of course all right but come almighty you still one two three this chad that's the easy one ass expunger another reference smiley face among us i don't think it's among us yet i don't i think that's a i think that's like a sweat drop coming down there and i think that this is uh it's not a it's not among us it's not all right now fame in fortune maybe the 1000 bits again i've used this in a beta all right before i love this one yeah i've used i've literally used this in a uh actually i can show you i know exactly what thumbnail it is slay the spire but did i look so [ __ ] hot in that cardigan holy [ __ ] inside they've got the same mask so now we immediately of course all right live forever you were right it actually is the grandma miracle ass all right this one's got a slap right this one's gonna slap no doubt safety i thought it was the iron guy was t-posing he's doing safe like she landed on the base also the fact that his head is just slightly off to the side you're glad this is smite [Laughter] that's pretty good this one's gonna be good there's no way that this is already sick it's gonna be awesome okay it was again i don't like this art style this art style isn't a lot of the cards i'm not a fan of it but i do like the the violin oh man all right good good tier listing there chet that was a good good job but good job tier listing [Music] you
