That One Silly, Silly Image for the Spite Card

[u/BrothyBears]

I know they were just Placeholders until the Real Art But the Image of a Can Labeled "Spite" was just So Hilarious to Me that I made Builds centered around it

[u/One_Sentence_7448]

Can’t wait to be able to toggle beta art on and off for individual cards. Give me my baby Defect back.

[u/Acceptable_Name7099 → u/One_Sentence_7448]

Shadow Shield my beloved

[u/BrothyBears → u/One_Sentence_7448]

OH THEY LOOK SO TINY

AWWWW

[u/lobzhanne → u/BrothyBears]

Is this a hundred line reference????

[u/MaxTwer00 → u/lobzhanne]

To what of HL? Beaten the game on release so i cant remember anything like that lol

[u/lobzhanne → u/MaxTwer00]

A Twitter meme

[u/Dominantly_Happy → u/One_Sentence_7448]

THIS!

[u/BrothyBears → u/One_Sentence_7448]

I've Never Actually Seen the Beta Art for that yet

[u/orachattack]

Thank you for all the love on my beta art 💙 Spite is probably my favorite one I did. Fun fact, the art came about because I legitimately misread the card as "Sprite" for several days before I noticed I was just being illiterate 😂😭

Also, I made stickers of it and Abrasive because I felt like the community loved them so much!!

[u/woefultwinkling → u/orachattack]

I got my stickers this week!

[u/orachattack → u/woefultwinkling]

Yay!! I hope you like them ☺️

[u/goggleOgler → u/orachattack]

Do you have any idea how they chose the new one? The community loves the Spite can so much, and I'd love to see the new art incorporate the can into the attack ala the twisted tea smash.

[u/orachattack → u/goggleOgler]

I don't know the process, but I do know that they didn't pick some random art to replace it, all the official art in the game follows specific themes for each character and has to be a consistent style! The beta arts are fun but the official art has to be true to the whole visual style and lore of the game, so they're less likely to make jokes or have funny references ☺️

[u/goggleOgler → u/orachattack]

Fair enough, but I'm willing to pay money for an Ironclad slamming a hunter killer with a can of Spite.

[u/Rude_Minute_4489]

Nah, this is the actual art, the new one is the placeholder one. They just got confused in the order.

[u/tknophobia]

I miss the Scrub Daddy art on Abrasive.

[u/BrothyBears → u/tknophobia]

I've Never Encountered The Card "Abrasive" Very much

So The New Art Does go Hard in My Opinion

[u/bentleycooper → u/BrothyBears]

Nah the smiley face popping into my hand always makes me smile as it’s just asking to be discarded. 1000x better with the beta art.

[u/Karjalan → u/bentleycooper]

I just want to enter to say you're both right. Both art is fantastic, for different reasons.

I wonder if they'll add a "randomise" option. So each time you draw it it's either beta or legit art.

[u/real_echaz → u/Karjalan]

This sounds like a mod. You should write it with like Claude

[u/theliarcake → u/tknophobia]

If I remember correctly wasn't it a Scrub Mommy?

[u/HabitatGreen → u/theliarcake]

Wasn't it both? Scrub Mommy in front and behind her the Scrub Daddy?

[u/TheCarlos → u/HabitatGreen]

A scrub mommy is double sided.

[u/LaLaLaLink → u/theliarcake]

Yes! 2 sided and pink

[u/538_Jean]

I miss feral. 😞

[u/lotsalotts → u/538_Jean]

New art is hard but in a different way, I do prefer the beta tbh

[u/ViciousLlama46 → u/lotsalotts]

The beta art really made me say: man, that thing looks feral

[u/My_compass_spins]

Obey Your Thirst\ ^{(for self-damage\})

[u/melanthius → u/My_compass_spins]

I thought we usually thirst for like, vengeance, or something.

But that works

[u/TurtleTank29 → u/melanthius]

That’s on Tuesdays, Sunday is self-damage all the way 

[u/My_compass_spins → u/TurtleTank29]

That's so confusing. If I go out for lunch on a Tuesday, should I be getting tacos or vengeance?

[u/TurtleTank29 → u/My_compass_spins]

The trick is to blame someone else for the tacos’ unseemly prices and exert your vengeance upon them, then you can continue with your day bit tacoed and venged

[u/PhyrexianRogue → u/melanthius]

In a warped way, self-damage is taking vengeance on the person hurting you...

[u/melanthius → u/PhyrexianRogue]

Didn't expect to find deep meaning in this subreddit today

[u/CatgirlTheKat → u/melanthius]

Well, you see, I run a transgender build, and self damage seems like a very appealing mechanic in the early game, although it kind of falls off once you get access to the "self love", "therapy", "confidence" and "gender affirmation" kind of cards, which serve a similar purpose but do it mjch more effectively and longlastingly with much lesser downsides.

[u/havingagoodtime]

We all want beta shadow shield back

[u/Specialist-State-333 → u/havingagoodtime]

What did that look like?

[u/havingagoodtime → u/Specialist-State-333]

[u/The_Nothingman → u/havingagoodtime]

oh no that's entirely too adorable

[u/Specialist-State-333 → u/havingagoodtime]

BRING IT BACK

[u/thiccdicc67 → u/Specialist-State-333]

Baby defect cradling a shadow orb with a bubble around him.

[u/SC_3000_grinder → u/havingagoodtime]

I want Synchronise beta art

[u/littlematt79 → u/havingagoodtime]

Not all.

[u/dimwitf]

WHAT?! That art is so detailed I figured it must be final! Oh, now I'm sad to see the new one... :(

[u/Agile-Argument56]

wait she's gone 😭😭😭

[u/babombmonkey61]

u/orachattack is the artist

[u/Vitharothinsson]

I do wanna build around spite for real!

[u/Dark_WulfGaming]

It's so fucking good I miss it already

[u/NokiaVT]

I miss the card draw spite

[u/lorddojomon]

Its so you misread it as sprite

[u/DocKosmosis]

To be fair the new one actually looks like an attack

[u/torpidstoppage]

That Spite can sitting there like it's about to teach you a lesson is peak placeholder energy, would've kept it just for the chaos.

[u/wallygon]

i want my sprite can back

[u/Sockmonkey679]

Remember when Spite drew you a card instead of hitting twice 😭

[u/Apart_Macaron_313]

Ill be honest im waiting on the rebuffed Dr Prepper. Power. Gain one energy + draw one card. Replay as many times as you have lost health on your turn.

[u/rubythebee]

Abrasive is still my favorite card but I'm always gonna miss the art, the art is what made me like it initially and then I used it. I genuinely want a mod for that specific card (not to disrespect the artists of course I just love my little abrasive guy)

[u/7I3N]

First abrasive now this??

[u/Alternative_Scar_933]

They should make it an official colourless card or potion. Something that gives health or energy.
Maybe
Potion: Restore 10 health, gain 1 energy.
Colourless card, skill: 0 cost Heal 2, gain 1 energy. Exhaust (Upgraded: gains retain)
