[empty kindle]

can i try with golden stake and checkered deck?

[mild skiff]

Well, got as far as small blind Ante 7.

Red deck, gold stake.

[green frost]

What were your builds

[fickle loom]

i will say there is a baron in a judgment in a minor arcana, and a mime soon after, can't make them work however due to relying on five of a kind, which dies to the pillar

[teal zinc]

Don't mind if I do

Let me finish up my responsibilities today and I'll give it a shot

[fickle loom]

ive gotten a winning run finally, it is an ABSURD line, but it can go a little into endless, took a lot of retries, each '/' is a failed run

[teal zinc]

Oh darn

Not much of a point if its been beaten fr

[fickle loom]

its a super hard seed, it would be interesting to see if anyone can find a more... reasonable line for it

i also do wanna see what yall do with it, im really not too great at gold stake so i could be vastly overcomplicating it

[fickle loom]

score to beat, its a tough one

[mild skiff]

This is how I got as far as I did. Mime comes from rerolling in that same shop 3ish times.

However, I don't think that build will work, as the rounds scale too quickly to keep up.

My early game line feels ok, Econ is fine. But haven't found the optimal path forward after Ante 4 (my ante 7 run was quite desperate)

[fickle loom]

the scoring i got was with || two barons, mime, and a blueprint||

the path to get there is extremely convoluted and the steps to get there are pretty much impossible to know to do without researching the seed

[mild skiff]

Definitely agree about the path!

from here it is clear what to do||

if youre curious as to how absurd the line was x3

[mild skiff]

||Didn't see that blueprint. I don't remember if I saw an Ankh or not? Definitely didn't spot an invis in my run, but my econ died after a while ||

[fickle loom]

not sure if its possible to do better

[fickle loom]

||econ is dead the whole run, the bp is in a mega buffoon quite late, so youre relying on 5oak with a steel king or 2 for later stages, you need to make kings right from the start and it just bareley squeezes by, the invis is a reroll the shop with the bp buffoon pack, which hits baron later||

[mild skiff]

Yeah that line is absolutely insane

[fickle loom]

i was like, "im gonna play seeds til i win to get better at understanding them", then this was my first one qwq

[mild skiff]

Big Oof

Similar to what I've been doing, just taking on challenging seeds between completionist progression to get a better understanding of the game

[fickle loom]

i do enjoy scouting seeds honestly, this was quite fun as annoying as it was x3
