What character were you playing as and what combination of cards/relics made it so satisfying?
For me, I just had a (unfortunately unsuccessful) run as the silent which consistently generated 7 or 8 energy per turn because of [Hovering Kite] and [Tools of the Trade] as well as 2 copies of [Tactician] and [Acrobatics]. All this energy I was pouring into [Poisoned Stab] and [Bouncing Flask] and just generally having a very good time poisoning the hell out of everyone and trying to generate enough defence with an [After Image] to turtle my way to victory in every fight. My deck unfortunately struggled with AoE and eventually I fell to the Scourge of all singular-target-focused decks, Reptomancer.
0 cost defect decks. I’ll never refuse an early claw, and trying to force it leads to a pathetic loss almost every time, but the 1 in 20 runs where it works is so worth it
Agreed. Claw decks just feel like you are playing as the underdog. The odds are stacked overwhelmingly against you but you just have to admire the pluckiness and tenacity and you can’t help but to root for them. Getting multiple Claws in a deck feels like a workers revolution where these once downtrodden members of society come together and gain strength in unity, enough to overthrow the shackles of oppression and rise to meet any challenge.
