Rare Colorless Cards: When to Add to Your Deck | Slay the Spire Tips

I love this style of video: One important thing you missed about mayhem, if it gets an X costed card, it gets full credit for X, but doesn't cost any energy. So there is a bit of a synergy there.

I know it feels like the cheap answer, but Apotheosis is my favorite rare colorless card. It isn't flashy like bomb, or accelerating like master of strategy, but it just makes any deck I play feel so much more powerful.

I had an A19 Ironclad deck when I was re-ascending on my Swtich that relied almost entirely upon Corruption + Chrysalis + multiple Exhumes. Just play a bunch of skills, get Chrysalis back with Exhume, and then sometimes Chrysalis gave me more Exhumes. One of the most bizarre but fun decks I assembled. Wasn't quite powerful enough to get the heart, but I got the ascension.

Another important note for Mayhem: the card taken from the top of the draw pile happens after you draw your hand, so putting a card on top using Headbutt, Rebound, Warcry, Thinking Ahead, Setup, etc. will not play the card with Mayhem.

I didn't know that Apotheosis is a rare uncommon. LOL

I love panache. I tend to go for shiv decks a little more than I probably should and panache can often be that little something you need to make a shiv deck do work. I've also had some luck with it in all for one decks. Not quite as good there but can still be a good pickup.

Also good to note that Chrysalis and Metamorphosis don't work with Snecko Eye, the costs will get randomized.

After playing with ironclad's exhaust package I grew to like transmutation as well, sometimes generating itself and grants many more cards to exhaust. Managed to kill the heart with dramatic entrance generated from it.

these videos are all so good. really appreciate the editing and timestamps on this one. great presentation and explanation as always, so helpful for learning the connections between everything, and very enjoyable watch. also, another vote for apotheosis.

I remember a Defect run I had where I picked up Claw and Panache in an early Act 1 shop, having gotten gold from Neow. This deck would later win the run. At some point in Act 2, I was considering adding a card to my deck for area damage, and then I realized "I already have that. It's called Panache." In some weird situations, Panache can be a good primary source of area damage.

personal favorite is Sadistic Nature. Very cool concept and I believe it's the only card of it's type. Great card art

May I say that you explain things the perfect amount 👌never too much and always enough 👍

Recently had a watcher run where I had a Omniscience The Bomb combo. That was fun.

I'm a sucker for the old Hand of Greed. :D

You could talk about crochet ot the curent state of the Indonesian premium shrimp export market , that sweet radio voice is amazing.

Had a great run with silent today. First heart kill that wasn't A0. First A10 win too! But I had apotheosis, 2 secret techniques, and the intangible card. Worked super well and made the deck super consistent once I got them. Definitely worth with 10 HP. After that, I think I will almost always be taking the 3 colorless cards, whenever I can

Panache is crazy in both Silent and Defect 0-cost decks. Silent gets a ridiculous amount of cards played through Shivs, while Defect does amazing things with Scrape, Seek, Overclock, and All For One

With Chemical X I once had a Transmutation generate another Transmutation Three times in a row on the same turn

mayhem for me is like, great if you got snecko eye cause it basically likes the same kind of deck snecko does (which is basically add any "high value per card" card you can get your hands on to your deck) but if you having anything that's timing sensitive in your deck you probably don't want it. Issue is that you can't really build around it cause if you build like you'd build a snecko deck unless it's bottled you'll have a rough time with how slow it is to get going. I think with cards like catalyst, finisher, vault or in particular blasphemy it can straight up lose you the game. Ironclad I'd say is the one I'm the most comfortable picking it for.
