Very few decks actually want to do that. The only reason to do that is if you need to get some extra mana for the following turn (e.g. 3 mana on turn 2, 4 or 5 mana on turn 3, etc.). In which case, Big Breast, Bountiful Alarune, and Ring of Plenty are all better because they permanently put you up on mana. And you're not going to play the fleshlight maker on top of all of those cards because then you dilute your deck heavily into being a pile of mana and mana searchers without any minions to protect you or any real damage to stop the combo decks or removal to stop anything else
That's true, but being a minion to discard also helps summon the wisdom boss monster, so it's useful in that way as well.
I won't say it's a super great card, but I think searches are generally good in games like this.
I do think it's better than the hypno cards for what it does.
I'm actually calling your bluff. You're not playing gift for Trainee. Not unless to put a mark on it first, in which case, just putting the mark on the enemy squeezers directly is often more efficient and probably more damage
No I'm not. I don't like the card, and have only used it a few times. If we had a tierlist, I'd agree it's around the bottom, but I'm just saying that all the cards are usable and generally decent.
So, A. this game doesn't have side decks, so you can't prepare for what your opponent is playing unless what they're playing is rather common. B. Dream Eater is only ok. It's unironically very easy to outscale it. And I'm pretty sure Dream Eater is the only card worth playing Bear Trap against C. you only get the draw with Royal if it triggers. It's not a free draw otherwise. It's far too situational to play, especially without side decks
You could say the same for a lot of cards, but I don't disagree.
I've had it save my butt in Royal+Idol decks.
Same thing with Curse Rebound. I also specifically mention that once the game gets a story mode, the more situational cards will get better.
That being said I do still think it's better than hypnotic satellite, and hypno phone.
Are you talking about the same card as me? I'm talking about the 2 mana card that banishes disasters. Actually, I misremembered what it did too (I thought it was just Undead, but maybe that's a different card. Admittedly more useful than I thought). You seem to be talking about Devil's Bargain. Pretty bad sign if we don't even remember what card we're talking about
My issue is that I originally played the game with more literal Japanese translations, so my memory of card names isn't the best. That's why I randomly use Imagination instead of Mana.
Broken Contract is the disaster removal card right? Seems specifically designed for Devil's Pact. I've used it like twice in decks that play Devil's Pact and insincere gift the devil's pact, in case you don't draw insincere gift. Though even then return to your maker was the better card.
The fact that a lot of higher level cards are disasters though means it still has direct if situational value.
I will admit the hypno cards might be better than this.
Sure, you can use it to heal for 2 every turn with breast milk. The question here is would you actually in a real deck? If we're saying the hypno effects are worse than this, then not being super good is still quite a ways down on the list of cards to play. And if you already are consistently healing for 2 (such as a deck that expects to play breast milk on a big breast squeezer), then it still does nothing. This is a 3 mana card. Are we really playing a 3 mana card to make our 1 mana stuff better? Are we playing it before playing out our 3 or 4 cost minions?
Big Breast doesn't heal for 2 every turn.
It's 1 every turn.
If you don't have big breasts you heal every other turn.
And yeah it stacks, so we are definitely playing it before our 3 or 4 cost minions. It goes well with the new Incubus 5 cost that lets you summon more squeezers, and the more squeezers you summon the more draw you get.
Use that card with, Incubus Dreamer, Incubus Healer, and the 4 cost incubus draw card, with a bunch of amateur demon summonings and the big milk generic, and you have insane draw power in a Milk Focused deck that naturally has high mana gen.
I would like to see an actual decklist that does this. It seems to me that the decks that want donations (human and strategy decks) are the decks that aren't interested in the theft squeezers besides maybe Hungry. In which case the deck sounds unplayably bad and like it wouldn't beat almost any of the World Map decks
Sure I'll make an Idol blackmarket deck sometime soon.
I feel llke inexperience with games that use mana as a resource system is leaving you unable to actually view this correctly. Just because your cards cost more doesn't mean you're necessarily gaining more from each oneDrawing a combo deck into their combo piece or a control deck into an answer to what it is you're doing (or worse, removal for the Industrial Revolution) is just goingnto gurt you more than them unless you play something like Time Warp or the card that discards your hand and draws 7 (in which case, why are you playing Industrial Revolution if you'll draw a new hand anyways?) Giving your oppononetbthe furst draw here is generally pretty bad, and you only typically don't see it because you're playing against the weak AI
I won't deny that the AI being weak has definitely colored my perception on the value of different cards.
I've tried Industrial Revolution in decks that seriously need deck draw more than other decks would, and came out for the better. For instance, the card double summon is largely useless in this game, because of how lucky you have to be to have two squeezers in your hand before playing it. With Industrial Revolution though, you can actually use Double Summon more efficiently.
If you're playing Milk Addiction then the extra draw is actually bad for the enemy because they have to discard cards past the maximum. Which you'll be slowly pushing them towards as well.
