Modded: Virus Gone Wrong | Monster Train: The Last Divinity 

I think the reserve effects are actually pretty cool : they give another way to use permafrost. You can put doublestack and permafrost and keep it in hand forever, and it will do a decent effect for free every turn.

I really appreciate this series because we get a fresh look into how you evaluate cards (blindly). Being able to adapt at cov25 with a brand new clan is not necessarily easy.

So I've reached rank 10 with this mod, and I have a couple tips for ya. Feverish response and Destructive Testing (A card you will unlock later) are some of the best cards with this modded clan. They destroy your viruses for you and give you a huge benefit of card draw or big damage. I also found quick to be really bad if you're going patient zero because sometimes you want to enemies to swing in. Also if you go the Contagion route (Which can be very good) A card called Pandemic is busted. You might like the new exiled champion better. It's pretty darn good imo.

It looks like one play might be to lean into the swarm tactics by playing the virion on whatever floor has space as soon as it comes up, you thin your deck out and scale swarm tactics. Does mean you lose out on +25 to your unit, but the more frequent draw of swarm tactics might be worth it.

For Sympathetic Emesis's reserve effect if you give it permafrost and doublestack it's a pretty big pile of sap without ever having to even play the card.

I'm still only at right after the first banner and i'm realizing that anvil makes largestone pretty cool actually.

About Modding Content (Clans) there are 2 important things to add about topic why most of it is more overpowered or atleast stronger than the base game. - If the player dies to often compared to the vanilla content that feels sometimes daunting. - Since modded content is played in the community far less, they are hard to balance this in the first place, cause they have a very little amount of feedback. But hey, in the end of the day, no matter what game, there will be in the end always overpowerd and trash builds in the game.

Putting Quick on that demonboy really gimped you. I understand the thought, usually you go "Quick good, my units no die" but in a clan where it is all about those little germ guys dying.. Well, as you said, new clan. But you can kind of treat these germs like mini tumbs. Small chump blockers, or even useful in their death, might help you mentally adjust. You don't want to have a quick sweeper that prevents your dreg spawning tomb from dying if you require harvest scaling or such.

I'd like to see more Pathogen runs!

only a bit into the vid but my impression is that culture carrier got overcorrected, it went from the best path by a country mile to the worst. it is extremely flimsy into relentless early game and requires a ton of protection late due to its bad base stats, and at 2 space carrier isn't always that easy to slot onto an endgame floor when I could be running like 4x demonologist with bioengineer instead and that already gets there. I think halving the stat gain but returning the health gain (so +1/+1, +2/+2, +4/+4) would be more appropriate, more base health would help too for sure

That certainly was quite the run. You keep ending up with things that were almost great, but ended up being terrible. The "Contagion to the front unit" makes this version of Virion feel really weird in play. Sympathetic Emesis is certainly nice, though, especially with the remove consume.

Woo! More sick monster train content!

Doublestack Sympathetic Emesis with permafrost makes a great dupe target... Why yes, I'd like free holdover Guardian's Amulet that doesn't eat draw. Seems good. Anyway, I think Virion is probably okay as-is. The AOE version was way too powerful, and in the current form you can use it for culture+chump or play it off-floor to spread contagion. About the only thing I'd wish for would be an easier way to kill them. Overall, the clan tends to have a lot of lopsided scaling that's slow to get rolling, but can really snowball once it does. It can feel both weak and very powerful at the same time. It definitely takes some adjusting to.

I really enjoy you running some modded runs. I would also enjoy some runs with your own rebalance patch. Just watching play the modded old champions would be a nice change. Alsp what nobody mentioned, you can put some viruses on bottom lane and contiguous clears the backline before they reach top lane.

loved the vid and hearing your thoughts

48:50 Starts with three or more space makes sense to me - units don't grow in size, so starting must refer to original size - I'm wondering if there's Egg/other wurkin considerations that went into that wording

The nerf to make Virion apply contagion just to the front enemy made them kinda bad and it kinda screwed Carrier, their biggest appeal was backline clear and with everything else the clan wants to do, if you don't have ways to keep killing them they just become a problem. I found the 4 damage/turn Malicka relic and the +5 atk to all units (so they kill themselves on spikes) pretty clutch to make them less wonky.

Has science gone too far? Well, you tell me you're the one who works for NASA :-). Sorry could not help myself.

I know 'randomness' is considered unholy but I personally feel Virion should apply it's Contagion to a random enemy unit rather than the front. Front sucks because the contaminated unit just gets killed before it can spread, all enemies and back enemies feels too powerful for a starter

I can see you're not used to this at 40:17, yes the preview only shows -41 on the sweeper, but since you're quick he was going to get another 20 contagion which means he only attacks the pyre once. You need to pay attention so much more and do a lot more math with this clan, it seems insane.

cant believe no1 said, this run is wrong when it´s right

i don't like that contagion thing. .where most of it goes on the front enemy, which is the one most likely to die just from combat damage. meanwhile, the contagion does nothing unless you manage to stack enough to equal their health, but since it's all on the front enemy which is likely to die anyway. third problem is that the contagion triggers at the END of the turn, so if it dies before the contagion triggers, then the contagion doesn't trigger. .so the enemy has to survive to spread it, but since it's mostly stacked on the front unit, that one is most likely not gonna survive. and then what if you got like.. the front guy has 45 health and you do manage to put 45 contagion on the front guy and he dies from it, does he contaminate the guys behind him or is that it? the contagion should trigger ON Death and/or at the start or their turn and it should contaminate adjacent units, not just the front one. the virus should contaminate any unit that already has it or maybe even something like, it doubles any existing contagion instead of just adding 1, so it scales exponentially, which might be overpowered, i dunno, but it's just when you collect pact shards and enemies start having 170 health, i don't see how contagion is supposed to even do anything at all in the current form. contagion does literally nothing 95% of the time. maybe it's useful in the very first ring or so, to kill the 1 hp enemies and that's it.

I don't get it but I still enjoy u playing it

No one mentioning the anvil and hammer together?

beginning of the video, i see you pick pathogens and there's no "preview" of the champion and at first, i thought maybe he was there and i just couldn't see him because he's microscopic.

Can replicate remove endless on units that already has endless?

virion needs a remake, it used to be op, now it feels worse than forgone power
