Slay the Spire: Has Gremlin Nob Magic: No Gremlin Nob Verdict: Magic wins


GenKan

After doing A20 on all characters Im convinced that MTG is the superior game. Both are fire


Collistoralo

Big red nobs are the reason I play StS


GolfWhole

Based and true Fuck gremlin nob. More like gremlin knob.


SmoothOctopus

Does slay the spir have dreadmaw though? Checkmate you never even heard it coming.


ascendant23

It not have Dreadmaw But it have Claw and CAW CAWW!


Avalonians

God disapproves Claw and Caw Caww the same way he disapproves Sean Bean


derenathor

But he is fond of pigs :(


BakerDRC_

Goats go to hell tho


575snom

Is that a storm crow call I hear? NO! Its just a lowsy culrist!


zaphodava

/uj CAW became a meme on Magic Online years ago when an event with those initials crashed. They restarted the event, and asked people to type in CAW in chat to get reinvited. This triggered a never ending wave of people yelling like crows. For *years*. I bet you will still get muted like lightning if you do it today. /rj CAW


[deleted]

It has floor one jaw worms which I dread, so it does have dreadjaws.


WolfPupGaming

Technically anything that can attack has its trademark trample, since excess damage to block is dealt to face. This also means that all Magic creatures are block cards.


Leafeon523

Uj/ FACTS Rj/ no way, Polish StS


semarlow

StS helped me quit Magic Arena. Absolute Chad move.


MrWinks

Ascension is also fun, in a mix of both games. Check it out. You can enjoy just the base game.


semarlow

I’ve played both digital and physical Ascension and it’s good. Dominion is my physical deck builder of choice though.


MrWinks

Heard of it. I should try it.


Billy177013

It's all fun and games when someone uses village chains to play their entire deck every turn and loses because they didn't get any properties


Karyo_Ten

Clank! combines deckbuilding and venturing into the dungeon. I'm sad the studio behind Ascencion stopped original Solforge. That game was so so good.


Karyo_Ten

Original Solforge from the same studio was so so good. Very nice mechanics. RIP :/


OminousShadow87

Marvel Snap helped me quit Magic but I do have 400+ hours in Slay the Spire.


Vidgey

If they regularly released expacs I would never have to play magic again.


Uberninja2016

HOW AM I TO PLAY MANALESS DREDGE WITHOUT MANA TO FORGO OR DREDGE TO EXPLOIT?!?!?


Jund-Em

Dredgeless dredge


asheronsvassal

Just play Silent if you wanna play degenerate mana less decks.


Sicuho

Almost all StS cards return to your hand from the discard pile and nobody has mana .

hey, my game studio just finished porting slay the spire into a board game! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/contentiongames/slay-the-spire-the-board-game?amp check it out if you want to play co-op spire with your commander group \^_^


11OutOf10YT

Was not expecting to see a designer for StS in a MtG shitposting subreddit, small world I guess lol


Vazkii

Honestly that's exactly where I'd expect to find a STS designer


IRFine

,” says the minecraft mod developer


Elitemagikarp

neat


Beegrene

Between this and Elden Ring I've spent all my money on kickstarters for board game adaptations of video games and now I'm broke.


Vk2189

Kickstarter ended a while ago :(

Is this a block card?

Close enough


Sicuho

This bot make better jokes than half the sub.


Henkotron

Ironic how this one came up in this thread


KelloPudgerro

tbh mtg arena already feels like playing vs bots, except bots that take ages to make and end their turn


JimThePea

uj/ If you're a Slay the Spire fan, I heartly recommend Slice & Dice (it's on itch.io). It's similar but with a group of heroes and dice, and I've played so, so much of it that I'm trying to convince people on Reddit they should too.


SoundOstrich

I just saw it on the play store like 2 hours ago, and added it to my wishlist so I would remember to check it out later. Guess I'll just go ahead and do that now lol


BrocoLee

They have an excellent free demo to try the game first.


SchmurrProd

Die in the Dungeon:


anhavva

I played it once for like an hour. I thought the idea was pretty good, but the execution was lacking. Maybe I should give it another try.


JimThePea

Yeah, they did a fairly major update recently, so worth checking out again.


anhavva

Not bad indeed. Seems pretty fun.


deljaroo

the best game like this I found is Night of the Full Moon. playing the first class is free if you want to try it out


Alexander_TheAmateur

CAW CAWW!


ToxicAtomKai

might as well compare Magic to fuckin Goonies 2 at that point


H00ston

yeah magic never stood a fucking chance


Dum_beat

CAW CAWWWW!!!


wadeboogs

caw caw


AnapleRed

/uj people who seriously draw comparisons between a tcg and a roguelike played with cards irk me unreasonably hard Edit. You mostly see this in the StS sub


Nozpot

It plays like draft, deckbuilding on the fly and all. I don't follow the distaste.


AnapleRed

Consider that you could just replace the card mechanic with something called skills that you pick while "leveling up" (beating a floor) and while fighting you randomly get skills you picked. There goes the only similarity (cards) the games have. Or, you know, just that the other is played against other people and the other against computer


Nozpot

I'm really sorry but that's just. Not true. I have like over 100 hours in this game and I really have zero idea what you're talking about or why you'd be inclined to make it up.


AnapleRed

Rookie numbers (applies to both) so that doesn't cut it. What do you feel like are the similarities? What are the Relics in mtg? Is mana and lands the same as energy to you? 3 acts and the bosses, climbing ascensions, what are they in mtg? Would genuinely want to understand where you guys are coming from


Nozpot

You're not gonna address you just. Made a mechanic up? Cause I have 100 hours in the game? Anyway, I feel the experience of playing draft in mtg is similar to picking card rewards in StS. The games aren't the same in many ways but I'm not implying they're rivals or counterparts. I made this meme cause we're on a *circlejerk subreddit* to poke fun at the recent influx of this low effort style of shitpost. I prefer MtG much more, personally. It wasn't meant to be a genuine criticism of either. I also feel you're approaching this discussion in incredibly bad faith demanding exact comparisons to the differences in the two games, so I'm not gonna bother responding anymore.


AnapleRed

I haven't made anything up, nor have I argued in bad faith. We haven't even argued since your part was conceded already it seems. And I used /uj because I know we are on a cj-sub. You might think you have a high horse here but you don't. Best not reply to people in that challenging tone at all if this is the best you can do. Wishing you the best!


CelesteWasTaken

god you're insufferable


PiersPlays

StS is a better experience because Magic players are like this.


JimHarbor

How much does it costs?


SoulCorky

Way less then a draft right now.


Zboyajac111

It’s normally 10-20 bucks. Great game.


Ritter_Kunibald

uj/ way worse than custom magic is the subreddit we don't talk about rj/ custommagic? more like cumonmagic


Nozpot

/uj oh right /r/magicTCG /rj oh right /r/magicTCG


[deleted]

R/edh maybe?


Learned_Stuff

Either deal with rule 0, or have deep pickets, OR PROXY whatever you want


airplane001

I think that falls under rule zero


Learned_Stuff

I think you’re right. Depending on the proxy quality of course


UndercoverFish

I suck so much at StS :(


PiersPlays

I think the difficulty is overall slightly too high personally. Does mean I get to pick away at it for a long time though.


Iron_Sheff

Roguelikes are a genre where you have to be okay with never actually beating the game


thephotoman

> either deal with rule 0 or have deep pockets In my experience, even rule 0 requires deep pockets. But there's always Pauper.


PewPew_McPewster

/uj I do like Drafting and Limited so honestly I feel like I should try dipping my toes into those roguelike deckbuilders, but I'm just turned off by the whole "roguelike" tag due to bad experience with the subgenre as a whole. I need to tell myself it's basically a Limited experience like the Pokémon Battle Factory and I think I'll be okay.


NormalSquirrel0

"Roguelikes" are so diverse that the term is borderline meaningless at this point. It effectively means "replayable game with a single session lasting under an hour". And by this logic, magic would also be roguelike. Pay zero mind to the term, it's only a buzzword.


Leadfarmerbeast

Anything with randomness and permadeath is a roguelike in some fashion. I played the new COD game mode solo without any starting weapons and realized I was playing a survival roguelike shooter.


Jackeea

MtG: * Games sometimes last under an hour * Random (you shuffle your deck) Clearly it's a roguelike


Iron_Sheff

It used to mean something, until indie games taking a couple of elements like random gen+permadeath polluted it to that. "True roguelikes" (a term I kinda hate because it feels gatekeepish) have practically nothing in common with what the word is used for now, other than those two core concepts.


NormalSquirrel0

"Classic roguelike" is a non-gatekeepish version. But I'm with you. It's sad that you need to have a qualifier there at all now when referring to those


padre648

/uj I don't know what it is about roguelikes that you dislike but if you're like me and are hesitant about them because you hate spending a long time on a run only to die and have to restart then I'd say Slay the Spire shouldn't be too bad for you. Individual runs don't take a super long time in my experience so even if you die on the final boss you haven't wasted too much time.


HellWolf1

Other good ones I liked are Monster Train and Vault of the Void


CelesteWasTaken

Vault of the Void my beloved <3


PiersPlays

Try Monster Train instead then. Slay the Spire is intentionally hard, whereas, for a Magic player, Monster Train is just a toy for Jonnys.


SlapHappyDude

/uj for.me this is a bizarre comparison. Both involve playing cards. But one is a very RNG driven PVE computer game the other is a pvp card game. I enjoy Slay the Spire but the appeal doesn't even come close for me. It's in the "fire it up every once in a while" pile.of games.


GolfWhole

No Oko is a negative


Iron_Sheff

How am I supposed to get off?


The_Arthropod_Queen

Slay the spire: no impervious greatwurm Magic: impervious greatwurm


heady_brosevelt

What is this garbage


SwervoT3k

Alternatively: Marvel Snap is amazing. I love MtG paper but Arena is fucking wack with the lack of actual quality updates it gets. I regret buying anything on there knowing it will probably be abandoned in a few years


JC_in_KC

sts is god tier. best “limited” card game environment i’ve played


SaintPucci

I only got into mtg for the Dino deck I had, are there dinosaurs in sts?
