I ranked every Watcher card in Slay The Spire 

Man, based off this list Pressure Points seems like such a strong card! I should draft it in all my Watcher runs for sure.

"If you replace all strikes with cut through fate, I don't see how you can lose a run." Me: hold my winrate

Master Reality really should be a colorless card, or possibly even a universal relic. Every character has multiple cards that work with it and several other colorless cards do as well.

Hearing Frost somewhat snort in laughter nearly every time he hits the Beta Art button is so wholesome to me, the art is so funny and I always love seeing Frost's genuine enthusiasm for the game even after all this time.

"Flurry of blows. This was a card, it still is a card" Only the highest quality commentary here

The guy who got pp moved next to prostrate is the real MVP

I will be honest, I did not know that cut through fate was a common card. For some reason my brain always thought it was a uncommon since it's such a good card that can be found relatively easily.

I really hope their will be a 5th character eventually. I love new content especially in a game where with every new character they always have some crazy complicated new combos too explore.

All right all right. Hit me with your hot takes here. Which card did I get wrong? None of them? Correct.

How am I only now realizing that Wraith Form, Demon Form, Echo Form and Deva Form are meant to be a "series" of cards?

Great tier list! Glad to be able to accurately predict where a few would end up, but pleasantly surprised to learn a bunch more about this super unique character!

Deva Form? More like Fasting Enabler

I just Frost to know that youtube and twitch are starved for STS content. Even if it's not beating the heart. Even if it's not the craziest run ever we'll watch it. Because we love you and STS. Daily uploads like NL does with the binding of isaac would be so amazing

honestly I've struggled w/the watcher for so long -- i took one major thing from this: SCRY SCRY SCRY.. and i'm breezing through ascension levels.. thanks! p.s. I just got 4 pressure points and the +2 hp relic when not taking cards.. i had well over 100 hp, nonstop pressure points, absolutely melted everything, haha. so fun

So, watching this made me re-evaluate how i play the watcher. I just straight up couldn't figure her out for literally years, and she saty at ascension 1 while I'm at 11+ in every other class on _three different platforms_. Now, I've just come off of a five-run winning streak, just because I figured out how to actually assess her cards. You rock, man. Thanks for this great series!

I think weave should be a little higher, I freaking love that card. It's super strong because if you scry it, you can discard it, then it immediately goes to your hand, so you draw it for free.

I really love seeing devotion when I already have damaru or vise versa like knowing I'll be able to go into divinity every 2-3 turns and also if I brilliance it's like icing on the cake

Frost should do a strike+ tier list to tell us what the best strikes with better steps are

Eruption at C tier is insane to me. It’s one of the reasons why Watcher is so consistently powerful. The ability to steamroll Act 1 is just so important and it’s all thanks to Eruption.

I think you’re underrating Judgement, taking it in act 1 or early act 2 wins those acts for you (though granted watcher doesn’t need much help), shutting down birds, sentries, orb, and slavers, and helps massively in every fight with multiple enemies.

we need to find a seeded run now with pandoras box giving you all cut through fates

You’re hillarious mate, while providing high a quality infor thank you so much!

Just got the best combo relics+cards thanks to your adivces! Thanks a bunch for this video!

Oh its nice to see you doing well, remember watching when i was into league

I literally just rewatched the other three tier lists this week and was wondering when/if this one would come out

Listening to you give so much insights on how the game is supposed to be played. Man I have never had used Halt nor Indignation... I just won A14 with The Wather :D

I'll have to wait an hour or so to watch but I will 100% leave a comment already because I have been waiting for the day this was uploaded so I can rewatch it a dozen times to cause the neural transmitters in my brain to overclock and fizzle out.

Always love the content. You crack me up man

The watcher is the most fun character for me, the two most memorable runs are a Deva Form-Fasting deck, where I had two Deva forms and three fastings, which was incredible in elite and boss fights and the second run was a divinity deck where I got Mayhem+ from a shop and it was going great until I was fighting the heart and I had a Foresight running, so I discarded the last five cards in my deck, it reshuffled and Mayhem played Conclude, which lost me the run.

I might be a couple years late but the watcher beta art goes hard af

I'm only 10 minutes into the video but i already want to say: isn't it EXTREMELY sad how most watcher rares are kinda shitty? like now he has rated 4 rares and they are in B, C, E and F tier.... that's sooo bad... and he's actually rating them right cuz those cards are just garbage

The constant snickering about the beta art is curing my depression, man. Unlocked the watcher yesterday, after a week of finally learning to play this game (been in my backlog for years, because I thought I hated card games… I was wrong). What a cool character. Can’t wait to master this one. This video really helps! As did the defect one. Thanks, Frost, you rule!

I think if PP was a colorless card, it could be the only card with Marked and still be absolutely crazy good.

ah, it is time again to drop everything i am doing and watch one hour and twenty minutes of pure POGGY CONTENT

I'm glad the graphic is back. Good job Andrew

Blasphemy is probably my favourite card in the game, it might not be the most powerful but damn is it fun. I love it.

I've been struggling with the watcher a lot more than the other 3 characters, and now I know why. For the other characters, I generally avoided flooding my deck with too many commons, focusing on building around rares and uncommons. It seems like for Watcher, you actually want to pick up mostly commons instead because they're busted.

I've been waiitng so long for this

Ive been waiting 4.. no.. 5 thousand years for this

I just beat the heart as watcher for the first time. Thank you Andrew and Frost

Pressure Points not being an attack to get the damage from Wrath really hinders it as well.

I like Deva Form because it lets me pick up (Also, use) more Fasting even if I don't get Pellets. Otherwise, it's like a poor man's Snecko Eye (Or a Snecko Eye I can use because Snecko hates me and just makes all my cards cost 3...)

Will there be a colourless card tiee list? Super interested in that! ❤️

Been waiting on this one, as a degenerate watcher player I am very excited

Love how different this is compared to the guy with the world record winstreak

spinning top deva form and explunger. My favorite combo. Add Blasphemy and that extra turn spell and nothing lasts past 6 turns.

wow I was w8ing for this for a long time XD

I love Battle Hymn. A better strike guaranteed every turn so I can focus a little more on defence cards and stock-piling for divinity or wrath. It also pairs fantastically with establishment, churning out 0 mana deal 12s on a 1 turn delay

Don't have think anyone has mentioned this but I appreciated your troll-ass thumbnail.

the long awaited content from the poggy streamer

The letter ‘r’ has never carried so much weight as it does on the 0 energy, mantra card that gives block.

The way I see runic pyramid is that it doesn't target cards, it targets the mechanic of discarding directly.

There needs to be a separate "Bad but fun" tier because some cards are technically dogshit but are hilarious such as judgement

I love tier list content plz do more

Tbh, one of my best runs was with pressure points. I somehow managed to draw 4 of them and basically replaced all my strikes. It was utter carnage. The damage dealing potential is crazy.

My boi, you have come so far.

I cant stop watching frost prime lol i found this guy through binding with issac before he moved 😅. Makes me laugh more than any streamer and i wish this dude was my irl friend because we would have a fuckinng blast playing games lol

I had a run with 2 omniscience and an upgraded alpha. Turn 1 alpha followed by omniscience let me play 2 omegas turn 1. I had just the right relics lol

He finally did it, Watcher mains rejoice!

Would love to see a detailed video on how to play the watcher like you did for the defect. I'm on A9 with defect and cant even beat A0 on watcher fml

Jorbs said that "Protect" could be a rare card. WoW

You finally did it!

I come from ygo and more aptly, mtg... it's hard to believe that people don't find COLLECT that useful. Mana ramp is ridiculous but yes, you have to draw into cheap resource cards or have expensive, op ones. Good content. Thanks for doing the work for me 😅 ❤

His pronunciation of Prostrate as Prostate is extremely cursed.

I once made a build that I called ‘Your wish is yours to keep’. I think it started with Wish off losing all your gold and then I got Omniscience, upgraded both and managed to get another copy of both so omni into omni into wish and wish so I could do stuff like 24 strength.

I honestly thought you'd never do this

Honestly, conjure blade is mega goated, especially if you get it with deva form and\or master reality With watcher in general, if you stance dance or use divinity, you're generating a lot of energy and thanks to scry and things like meditate you can choose when to cash in big in making and using the expunger Master reality bumps it from a 9x damage to 15x and it becomes worthwhile even if you invest just two energy in it, or one if it's upgraded Was my trump card in my first ever heart kill!

What I learned: cards that are slow in watcher are bad because watcher deals 1 mana 28 damage.

47:10 I think you meant overestimate, that people think they're going to change stances more than they really are so they overvalue this card

I am always happy to draw a Reach Heaven late in my runs, because then I tab out of the game and check if there's been a KSBD update. Speaking of...

As someone who’s new to the game, my first few runs with the watcher already made me realize how busted it is. I’ve got a lot of experience with deck builders and holy shit I was getting infinites in my first few wins with the watcher because of how powerful this character is.

i think the devs just genuenly didnt know how to play her so they made her commons better than average to make her "playable"

I feel the mantra generating cards are being a little undervalued here, all you need are 2 upgraded prostrates and a pray and you’re entering divinity every deck cycle, and only spending 1 mana on it. You can definitely build a deck around divinity, but I think people underestimate how easy it is to build a divinity engine into other deck types with not a ton of resources committed

deceive reality and safety is the exact block as an upgraded protect, so based

watcher has god tier beta art

This should help me because for whatever reason I can't really do watcher well

Wreath in a signature move deck though? Is really good screenshot when an attack card does 9000 damage

I would put Conclude lower because I always want to be in a warth stance using that to double the damage, so it "force" you to take x2 damage on enemy turn, so you want to use this strategy only when enemy doesn't attack, which happen a real few time in this game..

I’m glad I’m not the only one that likes collect. Though eruption should be in it own tier SSS.

I’ve no clue why but as soon as I say the thumbnail the phrase “Hmm actually” came to my mind

Is that the King of Heroes, The Watcher, using the Gate of Babylon? 10:55

Good contents. I finished all four episodes in a night.

First time watching your channel, great style man. Is Bill Burr your dad by any chance?

THE MADLAD FINALLY DID IT!!!

I'm assuming there will be a colorless tier list at some point?

is there a copy somewhere I can get a pdf of the list?

When he dunks on Alpha but i've had good times with the card :(

In defense of Conjure Blade: while it's certainly not a card that you should build a deck around, I think it can be a spectacular secondary strategy when combined with wreath of flame. Especially if you're playing a deck that plays a lot of cards, like flurry, Conjure Blade can be a card to help get your through timekeeper or heart. It's not something you rely on, it's something you set up while doing your heavy stance swap bullshit

What would a safety version of Battle Hymm be ranked? Even if the block is decreased to 8~9 I’d find it handy to make sure I always the block I need.

I always grab a Signature move in a pressure point deck

1:06:18 fucking kills me, 'what the fuck am i doing?' 🤣

THE DAY HAS FINALLY COOOMMMEEE!!!

Hey Frost, you're great!

My biggest issue with Deus ex Machina is that you can't use a card that let's you seek through your draw pile and grab it that way like omniscient, it doesn't proc the ability.

Frost, idk if you'll see this or not but my buddy are working on a buff/debuff slay the spire character and were curious if you had any ideas or if you'd be willing to try him out when he's finished. I know you dont really do modded content but I would be great!

Any chance for a relic tier list? Or a colorless card tier list?

If two witchers were watching two watchers, which witcher would watch which watcher?

Finally…the prophecy has been fulfilled
