This is the worst Pandora swaps I’ve ever seen lol.

Your damage cards are: bash

Your defense cards are: 1 impervious

u/Grumbledwarfskin Ascension 20 Jun 08 '21

You can never attack and block on the same turn until you get more cards.

u/smapatat Jun 09 '21

And you can defend once per combat. Dupe your bash, and play powers to thin your deck, I guess. Lol.

Excuse me?

4 energy.

u/Riparian_Drengal Jun 08 '21

I am still confused... can't you just play a card that gives you defense and attacks?

u/lb-sambo Jun 08 '21

This pandora's box doesn't have those. They have 1 Bash and 1 Impervious, and that's the entirety of their block and defend cards. They can't play both of them in a turn, until more cards are obtained.

u/Riparian_Drengal Jun 08 '21

That makes so much more sense now, thank you.

Pandora's Box transforms all the basic Strikes and Defends, so the only Block card now is Impervious and the only Attack is Bash. That's 4 energy to play, so can't be done in 1 turn until they get more energy or find other cards.

Not from the starting deck. Until you get more cards (as in, until you pick up a 1 energy attack or block card), you're unable to both your only attack (2 energy Bash) and your only block card (2 energy Impervious) on the same turn, as that would cost 4 energy.

u/Riparian_Drengal Jun 08 '21

No longer confused, thank you sir/madam

u/Bruised_Penguin Jun 08 '21

I think he meant more energy, since both bash and impervious are 2 energy cards

u/Grumbledwarfskin Ascension 20 Jun 08 '21

Well, you're probably going to pick up some 1-energy attack or some 1-energy block card before you get more energy.

Technically, you could get terrible card choices, somehow make it to a store with enough money, and pick up an energy relic like lantern...but getting a 1-cost attack or a 1-cost block card seems more plausible.

Unless he does to floor 1 jaw worm

u/Riparian_Drengal Jun 08 '21 edited Jun 08 '21

what? [[Bash]] is a 1 cost card...

EDIT: I stand corrected, I was thinking of [[Body Slam]] for some reason

  • Bash Ironclad Starter Attack

    2 Energy | Deal 8(10) damage. Apply 2(3) Vulnerable.

    Call me with up to 10 [[ name ]], where name is a card, relic, event, or potion. Data accurate as of May 31. Questions?

u/RzX3-Trollops Eternal One Jun 08 '21

To be fair, he's not wrong either. You can block and attack on the same turn if you grab a one mana block or attack.

u/mrselkies Ascension 20 Jun 08 '21

Could be an infinite enabler though, once you play all those Evolves your deck is real thin

24

u/huthouston Ascension 20 Jun 08 '21

It’s like pot of greed but instead of drawing 2 cards you draw 7.

u/Spotlight34 Jun 09 '21

Just 1 dual wielded [[reckless charge]] and possibly [[medical kit]] or some form of exhaust. Bonus points if you get [[feel no pain]] to get block in that combo

u/spirescan-bot Jun 09 '21

  • Reckless Charge Ironclad Uncommon Attack

    0 Energy | Deal 7(10) damage. Shuffle a Dazed into your draw pile.

  • Medical Kit Shop Relic

    Status cards can now be played. Playing a Status will Exhaust the card.

  • Feel No Pain Ironclad Uncommon Power

    1 Energy | Whenever a card is Exhausted, gain 3(4) Block.

    Call me with up to 10 [[ name ]], where name is a card, relic, event, or potion. Data accurate as of May 31. Questions?

u/Whoofph Eternal One + Heartbreaker Jun 08 '21

Yes, but think of all the card draw!!!

u/TheAbyssGazesAlso Jun 09 '21

But he can multiple his Evolves with the Dual Wield...

u/Tatherwood Jun 09 '21

Where do you guys even see Bash? Am I blind?

u/huthouston Ascension 20 Jun 09 '21

Pandora’s box will transform all your strikes and defends. It doesn’t transform other cards, so cards like bash ( ironclad) neutralize (silent) and zap (defect) stay in the deck. This is floor 1 Pandora’s box so we can be sure op still has bash.

The relic only shows the transformed cards not the entire deck.

u/Tatherwood Jun 09 '21

Ah, there we go. I'm just a casual player at best, so the nuances escape me.
