Have you considered adding a horse to your version

68

u/seth1299 Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

Peetah… the horse is here.

u/TheLastGunslingerCA Ascended 1d ago

Now you're making me think of Horse Limit from the Drifter mod character

u/Pigpen292 1d ago

To be Ketamine accurate, the upgrade should be Voids instead of Dazed.

193

u/FallacyDog 1d ago

My son, the void is reserved for Ketamine+

105

u/The_Punnier_Guy 1d ago

There is exactly one situation I can think of where this is an upgrade, and that's when, after using gambler's brew, drawing void lowers your energy, making whirlwind hit less times, triggering thorns less times on an enemy which was going to die anyway due to stone calendar

u/diodenkn 1d ago

Right…

This is my favorite comment this year.

u/funariite_koro Eternal One + Ascended 1d ago

Also less damage makes feed go off

8

u/Collective-Bee 1d ago

You would spend all your energy on Whirlwind meaning you’d also need an energy card in your hand too lol.

9

u/funariite_koro Eternal One + Ascended 1d ago

Yes, exactly. Or nunchaku works as well.

u/The_Punnier_Guy 19h ago

Oh yeah, true

u/El_Zarco 21h ago

That's the Whippit card

u/IMP1017 Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

Putting a period in the card name is killing me lmfao

u/FallacyDog 1d ago

...I hoped to instill a sense of finality XD

u/Asher_Fox 1d ago

If you did "add as many dazed into your deck as cards in your hand" would be amazning if you had fire breathing

42

u/Asher_Fox 1d ago

For eveyone making a stink about how i used the word dexk and not draw pile please excuse me, ive been playing a lot of magic the gathering.

13

u/Stan_Beek0101 Heartbreaker 1d ago

Its fine but yeah in sts draw pile and deck mean very diffrent things

6

u/Asher_Fox 1d ago

Yes ik, ive been playing for over 2 years. Imagine starting combat with more and more dazed tho lmao. That would be wild.

4

u/Stan_Beek0101 Heartbreaker 1d ago

Yeah would be pretty funny lol, imagine storm of steel adding shivs to your deck.

1

u/Asher_Fox 1d ago

Feel no pain is already excellent. I feel this would make it a gold rarity haha.

3

u/Prismaryx 1d ago

The funniest part of this is that the deck is called the library in mtg lmao

2

u/Asher_Fox 1d ago

You expect me to use propper lingo when im playing physical cards with my friends? Lmao. Also ive been up since 10pm last night and its 1pm now, im hella tired.

u/Fit_Book_9124 6h ago

dexk

u/Asher_Fox 6h ago

Ok that time i was high. Leave me alone :(

1

u/BaLance_95 1d ago

Than. OP one is better. Have fiend fire in hand when you play this. Now you have 9 cards to exhaust. Then feel no pain give armor.

Reading comprehension test failed. Try again .

u/GruelOmelettes 1d ago

To be fair, "into your deck" should either be "into your draw pile" or "into your discard pile"

1

u/ErPani Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

Ouch. Just now noticed

6

u/FallacyDog 1d ago

I did make a version with the phrasing "draw" but the syntax lawyers in the discord said that this would imply the dazes were already in the deck to draw

11

u/TitaniumWatermelon Ascension 17 1d ago

You could do something like "Discard your hand. Add 10 Dazes to the top of your draw pile. Draw 10 cards."

4

u/FallacyDog 1d ago

Well done! Maybe Ketamine+ exhausts the cards and (as recommended) adds voids instead of dazes for thematic consistency.

3

u/Wasabi_Knight Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

always listen to your lawyer.

53

u/ErPani Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

mmmmm dead branch

u/catastrophecusp4 1d ago

and feel no pain and dark embrace

17

u/seth1299 Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

And [[Charon’s Ashes]]

11

u/catastrophecusp4 1d ago

Could also synergize with fiend fire if it filled to the max 10 cards.

u/completlyStupid 4h ago

Why isn’t the image an image of Yoda?

22

u/AgathaTheVelvetLady Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

For Ironclad, this would be pretty good. You're basically getting exhaust triggers at the end of your turn for each empty spot in your hand. Get a Feel no Pain (already very strong), and you have an impervious you can play at the end of your turn on demand.

u/Effective-Log-1922 1d ago

Thats it, 35% tariffs on slay the spire.

u/TheActualAnthonino 1d ago

Evil(?) and intimidating(?) Horse?

u/[deleted] 1d ago

Believe it or not, broken.

u/iiiaccidently Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

I love this card. Great with Clad's exhaust stuff!

-5 Dexterity

u/mastergriggy 1d ago

Would love this as ironclad.

2

u/ErPani Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

You could say "add 1 daze on top of your draw pile for each empty space in your hand. Draw cards equal to the amount of cards generated"

Very convoluted wording though. Not sure if it woul seem better

3

u/DueMeat2367 Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

It means it would proc Fire Breathing and draw effects like increasing Ink Bottle

3

u/Sinnester888 Heartbreaker 1d ago

Ink Bottle works on cards played, not drawn :(

4

u/DueMeat2367 Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

Ah yes I was thinking of [[bottled ink]] : Every 10 cards drawned, play the top card of your draw pile.

3

u/spirescan-bot 1d ago
  • Bottled Lightning Uncommon Relic (31% sure)

    Upon pick up, choose a Skill card. At the start of each combat, this card will be in your hand.

u/Hammerhead34 Ascension 20 1d ago

I don’t think it’s very good card design tbh. Absurdly powerful with the right synergies but basically unpickable without doesn’t make for interesting gameplay in my mind.

10

u/Jack_Of_The_Cosmos 1d ago

A good comparison would be catalyst since it is a dead card without poison support, but catalyst is a powerful win condition. This card is similarly hard to pick without support, but needs much more specific support than poison and has seemingly less payoff than catalyst. Credit where it is due, this card isn’t broken and is surprisingly capable of some fun interactions for what is more of a joke card.

2

u/Rindy_Kitty 12h ago

So reprogram

2

u/MerzkyShoom 1d ago

OP in some decks, unpickable is many decks. Which is perhaps it’s own form of balance?

8/10 times, this is going to be unpickable. Therefore it is taking away a better rare card option that you could’ve been presented with.

8/10 might be an exaggeration. Maybe 6 or 7/10 times it’s unpickable. Though I could see myself taking this with just one FNP honestly

2

u/wingedespeon Eternal One + Heartbreaker 1d ago

I think it is pickable with just one dark embrace too. Honestly pickable with just charon's ashes.

1

u/Mr_Quackums 20h ago

so, like catalyst?

u/let-me_die_ 1d ago

How hungry?

u/RymrgandsDaughter 1d ago

This is hilarious, and broken

u/IGGYMYNIGGY12 1d ago

This would always be the random rare from neow if it existed lol

u/Mal-Ravanal 1d ago

Next thing you know the slavers are about to get run over by a honda civic.

u/Lake_Apart 5h ago

Up to 40 block with one feel no pain and up to five card draw next turn with a dark embrace

u/Ajax3410 Eternal One + Ascended 1d ago

Whats the upgrade?

1

u/-C0rcle- 1d ago

I... I fucking love it.

Oh, btw great card idea too.

u/rcglinsk 1d ago

No upgrade feel no pain and this is what, 30 block? I can dig it.

u/Flashtirade 1d ago

Depends on how it works. Does it add Dazes until your hand is full a la Scrawl, or does it discard your and replace it with 10 Dazes? The first way could have some very powerful synergies, the second way would be more limited but sometimes good.

Also due to how the game works, Voids added to the hand in the same way are functionally identical to Dazes and not drain your energy.
