I play for high damage, high energy red. Pretty decent win rate with it. I go for lots of clashes and perfect strikes. Twin strike and pummel are also good. Also pick up as much strength gain as i can find while removing most defence cards except the one that upgrades your entire hand(armaments i think). Pick up as many bonus energy relics as possible. Ideally il have at least two for the final boss. Battle trances will remove the bottle neck in the hand size caused by high energy + 0 cost clashes.
I dont mind picking fights with mobs in the hope of finding the cards i need for my deck. reds passive helps mitigate the attrition anyway
I just realised Lifestealer now rushes radiance. How do you play this out? Infest to an ancient and go yolo? Or, any other logic behind it (miss chance, etc)?
Well for a while, there was this one build where you infest an ancient golem and start to push towers. I think the logic was at that point in the game, the other team doesn't have the ability to bring it down quickly, and your Radiance makes you extra hard to stop given miss chance and burn.
Probably because that build was awful to play against... I thought something like Hand of Midas -> Deso, or Hand of Midas -> Maestrom was more common recently to be honest.

yesterday ramzes went for this build and won
from what it looked like .. it makes LS almost unkillable upon getting radiance+solar crest upgrade(forgot the name, the one with evasion) since he can't do smashed with magical damage due to his rage he can't be fought since naix is a good 1v1'r and he has evasion
and the radiance damage is assured due to his longetivity in fights
he just looked unkillable midgame .. i think this is only viable cause the new mkb sucks

i think it got popular when oliver won with it against EG and when i asked a 6k who regularly plays lifestealer, all he told me and i quote was radiance good item, aoe dmg, aoe miss chance, you're hard to kill and you're faster than a racecar ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Slay the Spire is great. I played a bit too much of it a couple weeks ago, so now I'm taking a break from it. I'm at Ascension 7 and 5 now, I think.
By far the most fun I've had in the game was when I had Corruption (Ironclad power that makes all your skill cost 0, but you exhaust them when you play them) and the Dead Branch relic (whenever you exhaust a card, add a random card to your hand). Also a bunch of different exhaust cards, some that gave me extra energy (Seeing Red, etc.), drew cards and 3 exhumes (skill that lets you get an exhausted card back to your hand). It was so funny, whenever I played Corruption I would usually win on the spot or the turn after. All skills cost zero and draw you a card that has around 50% chance to also cost zero, and some of them also draw you cards and give you extra energy.
Also had a turn 1 kill deck on Silent. Had a small deck that included 2 Calculated Gamble+ (0 energy, discard your hand and draw that many cards) and 2 Reflex+ (whenever you discard it, draw 2 cards) adn Eviscerate (dos damage and gets cheaper for every card you discarded on the turn). So I would just gamble, discard reflexes, draw more cards than before, eviscerate and repeat. It's how I got the 'kill a boss in one turn' achievement. Still would've lost to Timeeater if I got him, tho. Hate that fucker.

i never even tried to read the thread about this since it's kinda uninteresting (seen plenty of player hate)
Canada's olympic coverage is garbage so I have no idea how the hockey tournament is progressing in general only that we made it to the semis, which isn't a given this year considering how much of our talent is ineligible (thx buttman)
