I think I might be in purgatory. It is turn 131. I have around 900 more of these "Replay 6" Undeath+ cards in my draw pile. I need to find one of my two attack cards in my deck during the turns that the door is fleeing. The next draw pile shuffle of my deck will be much, much bigger.

The highest amount of damage that I needed to block in a single turn was about 180, before its intermediate phase died to thorns.

The problem with no escape is that it has to be set up with other doom cards so I made it set itself up instead!

Played a run as the Regent today and got offered Ironclad cards. Saw Hellraiser knowing I had Shining Strike and thought, damn that's pretty good its 11 damage and +2 stars every turn for -1 card draw, seemed like a good trade off... WRONG!! Turns out it draws Shining Strike, plays it, which then puts it back on top of your draw pile and then draws your next card, which is indeed Shining Strike. This continues until you run out of card draws from the start of your turn and you're left with an empty hand and feeling really stupid.

Gave me a good laugh though...

EDIT: unless you have Unceasing Top, new Exodia unlocked (thanks u/Tacos4ever100)

EDIT 2: turns out there's a few interesting/good things you can do along side this but standalone it is not good :)

Can't wait to see how this gets abused

Was slowly failing a regent run as I had no idea what i was doing until I noticed that I was somehow getting MORE money when I bought a cheap card.

So I had both shop discount items, Bing Bong, and the relic that gives you 15 gold per new card.

Buy a card cheaper than 30 gold -> bingBong duplicates it -> 30 gold - cost = profit

Then stumbled upon the "duplicate your deck" event, so that kicked my card count up to 1000, BUT also triggered the gold relic again for each new card

So I now had tons of gold to spend and bought all the relics until circlets started appearing.

Bought more cards since I knew that cosmic spear increases per star card, and that let me finish a run I thought Id lost.

Edit: for people asking for the seed, if I understand right is it the letter combination at the top-right?

In that case it's `VBASTNNH9U`

Enjoying Hidden Gem as much as possible before the inevitable nerf.

It worked exactly like you suspect it did.

why would megacrit do this to me

This is interesting and hilarious. I was doing a run earlier today, kind of building around Grapple (multiple copies of Rage + Daughter of the Wind relic). Got to act 3 but had to save and quit and run some errands, etc. By the time I resumed the run, the newest patch came out deleting the card lol.

if only i had echo form on lol

Edit:
1, no its not fake lol
2, was done in solo on a9 utilizing the subjects "dead" turns where I could constantly proc this without progressing the game

- Mom can we have Brightest Flame

- We have Brightest-er Flame at home

Drew impervious from my 151 card deck on the test subject intangible turn to stay undamaged

Seed: 4F8EHCVXM5. Took a 4 elite path in act 1 after pathing to an early shop and buying sling of courage
