    What's your favorite Watcher card to take on Floor 1 (even if it's not a common)? Comment below!
  • As someone coming from TCGs into STS and struggling to understand how deck are built in the game, this is SO unbelievably helpful!
  • @bwuppy
    Love this series! Your insights and analysis are unparalleled in clarity, concision, and coziness. Thanks for the fantastic content!
  • @torgo_
    i find watcher as the most difficult of all the characters. i suck at her., even tho she's meant to be OP thanks tho this video was very helpful!
  • @Yatsuzume
    I beat A20 Watcher and in all that time I never realised Halt said "gain 9 additional block" Guess I should try valuing it more now lol
  • @hobez64
    Glad to see this, Watcher is such a complex character and it's nice to know what's good when
  • @raiduk
    mistake at 7:55, you probably meant indignation
  • @jman26x
    Thank you for the primer! I have been avoiding playing the watcher for some reason. Now I am ready to go for it :)
  • @dearozero3631
    I didn't know this series existed! This is great content. Now I gotta find the uncommon walkthrough!
  • @AuraSparks
    I really enjoyed this video! Really pleasant and insightful without being over-analytical. The joke about Halt made me laugh pretty hard. I'll definitely check more of your slay the spire videos
  • @odinyorke1804
    Love this series and cant wait to see you rate the rest of the watchers stuff
  • Well, I'm glad I watched this! Looking for watcher hits or guide I found your 2h30 video as one of the only ones 😅, then this common card one seemed more reasonable in a hurry. Just knowing what sticks was so helpful. Literally went from never making 3rd floor to heartbreak in 2 runs from your advices. I guess I was ignoring "sure values" over powerful combo cards and then never actually getting combos, like "I'll make a retain deck" into never getting any more cards for it 😅. The advice on ignoring less useful cards to avoid bloated deck was also vital! Thanks a lot, playing Watcher is actually fun now 😎
  • @garthbodkin8970
    I'm new to the game and find your videos insightful and very helpful! Keep up the good work!
  • @saprone8885
    ''Cut Through Time'' looks similar to ''Preordain'' from the card game ''Magic the Gathering'' and it is a staple there in any format.
  • @magebomba318
    More of these please! I’ve always wanted a whale body is analysis. Not much out there especially considering the new updates and buffed cards via the updates. Good stuff as always Baalorlord.
  • @louieg7503
    exactly what i was looking for. thanks!

    I used to struggle with the Watcher before I realized the power of Flurry of Blows. I love stacking my decks with as many as I can find along with several stance change cards to be able to cycle as many FoBs as possible in a turn. Many people consider Bowling Bash to be the best attack against groups but honestly FoB is awesome against groups because you can spread out the damage.
