Unceasing Top + Anger

[Romain672]

Hi,
Today I got 'Unceasing Top' as a starting relic (Whenever you have no cards in hand, draw a card), and in my first choice of card, I choose Anger (Deal 4 damage. Place a copy of this card in your discard pile).
Guess you saw immediately the combo you can do.

At the end of the run I got :
- Some more or less usefull cost 0 card : Clash, Intimidate, Dark Shackles, and Panache.
- Corruption (cost 3) : Skills cost 0. Whenever you play a Skill, Exhaust it.
- Inflame (cost 1)(x2) : Gain 2 Strength mainly against the Time eater.
- Second Wind (cost 1 (0 with corruption) : Exhaust all non-Attack cards in your hand and gain 5 Block for each.

But finally, I lost because one opponent gave me some status cards.

The run was really fun, but I wanted to know if the deck was bad, or what i should have add to the deck, for not be annoyed by these status cards.

Honestly I wanted to start thread about inifinite loops. Easiest way to make infinite is this relik which gives you 1 card on empty hand. You can make your hand with couple 1-2 energy skills/powers and some 0 cost cards. There are no way you can lose because enemy always will die on turn 1 (even thorns do not change anything). The only exception is mobs with specific mechanic like time eater.

And I wanted to know. Are developers going to change anything here or OP decks is normal for this game. As I know a lot of players think that game is too short. But you can make OP deck in act 3. Game will be boring when you have not challenge (hi Apothesis)

I tried a lot infinite loops but with Ironclad, it seem really hard to manage.
The end of act 1 and act 2 generally kill because I haven't take enough cards.

And for me the easiest way is with 'Dropkick', you just need to exhaust every card on the deck, and put a vulnerable. Then it's free.

And what card you want to add in act 3 in case you are against the time eater ?

The easiest loops I know of:

As the Silent there is a reasonably easly loop:

* Get two copies of Calculated Gamble+. This is the key card.

* Get either one copy of Reflex, or Tactician & some carddraw

* Might stall if your deck is more than 10 cards, so good luck with that, haha.

* Get some way to actually profit from that loop (some artifacts, or another Reflex/Tactician or one of them upgraded).

-----

As the Ironclad, this one is much tougher to set up to go truly infinite:

* Get Dark Embrace (draws cardeach time a card is exhausted)

* Get Power Through (15 block & add 2 wounds to hand)

* Get Second Wind (exhaust all non-attack cards, get 5 block for each).

That loses 2 energy per loop, but gains 25 block.

If you can get Madness both Power Through & Second Wind then it is infinite.

If you can get a Bloodletting+ & another Dark Embrace, you can lose 3HP per loop instead of 2 energy.

You can profit from this loop with Calipers, Barricade, Charons Ashes, or some other possible cards.

this is a really neat one in theory, but hard to pull off, and eventually you hit a status enemy and die. but a lot of fun to play
