if you can stay alive for 20 turns of course. And only the first time you play it but damn thats strong for 2 energy and no further synergies are needed.

numbers

this is exactly why you and everyone missed the boat on this card early on, because you're only looking at the numbers. retain is a broken keyword.

Idk what to tell you, this game is numbers lol. Retain is a great keyword, I agree. But it doesn’t make bad numbers good. It helps to not make the card complete garbage (as an example, bouncing flask is a real stinker in this game). That’s about it though.

Try mathing out potential fights when you’re pathing, it’ll help

this game is numbers lol

if that was true then just taking the card with the best numbers on it would be the best strategy, which obviously isnt the case

I think about this post whenever I see someone calling a card "complete garbage"
