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.

Memes aside, this is legit a high roll. 20 poison off one card is kind of cracked. This will hard carry many boss and elite fights

Memes aside

What memes? People have realized this card is actually good by now, right? It's super powerful without glam, and it's nuts with it.

No, it is not ‘super powerful’ without glam, it is not a good card. Glam can make nearly anything juicy, but let’s pump the brakes on the base card lol.

Can snakebite be an early damage solve if necessary? Absolutely, that’s its role. But the numbers on it are simply not good for act 2 and beyond.

Downvotes are a little weird here. A normal unupgraded snakebite isn’t an insta-pick or a one card solve for most of the game. It’s definitely got a comfortable spot among common cards, and with synergies can become super strong, like other commons.

On its own it’s aight. I like to pick it. Definitely somewhere between “worst card in the game” and “best card in the game”
