The Power Classic | Ascension 20 Defect Run | Slay the Spire 

Backseating allowed for one RU-vid video: Meatier Strike was the correct pick at the first boss reward for potential Strike Dummy synergy.

this is what happens when you allow backseating you're welcome, strimmer

I got to the act 4 store, with 6 minutes left of the video, and I was like: "huh, I wonder how jorbs manages to die to the heart" Little did I know.

Re: ethics - I had to study ethics as part of studying to be a clinical psychologist. I think the trick with professional ethics is you enter into relationships that alter your normal ethical obligations - often in challenging ways. We have to learn to put client needs first in most contexts (e.g., avoiding multiple relationships with them), while also retaining professional boundaries (e.g., clients don't have my personal phone number, so they can't wake me up if they're sad at 2am). Most of it is not ethics in the philosophical sense, but rather practical and legal considerations that we need to take.

Wow, what a run. 5 minutes in and we've already basically killed the heart

Jorbs when he has lethal: let me consider whether killing this turn is correct based on the turn timers on my relics. Me when I have lethal: PLAY CARD GO BOOM!!!

Man i love Power builds

This deck feels like you could pick any card and relics you wished. Almost made me feel bad for the spire, nobody had a chance.

The part where you talked about Philosophy and ethics was very painful...

30:03 I think they were referring to how you typically remove strikes at stores which cost gold. Taking empty cage saves the gold you would use to remove a strike.

im only five minutes in but this is one of the most insane first acts ive ever seen with defect

I wonder if you actually want to engage in a discussion about ethics or just dunk on twitch chat. It seems very weird for the same person to say that "you should treat your partner well" is obvious and it's impossible to say if dash is a good card. The first one has infinitely more interactions that than the second. The fact that you don't or can't calculate them doesn't mean they don't exist. Even simple things like saying you like something they did even though you don't particularly care is a contentious ethical issue. On one hand you shouldn't make them feel bad for nothing, but on the other hand because people do this it makes it harder for people who actually liked it to be believed. Philosophy as a whole has no answers, all you can do is stop asking questions and be content with your imperfect understanding and biases. In other words, you can play Slay the Spire pretty well without thinking too much about each decision, doesn't mean those were obvious decisions, same thing with ethics.

That heart fight didn't seem very E T H I C A L

Ethics is easy the same way math is easy. And both can be incredibly hard.

love creative intelligence with the “heal 2 when you play a power” relic

I agree with Jorbs on the stuff he said about ethics in this episode.

Master Orbs is Jorbs!!

That might be the best defect deck I've ever seen after just one act

I don't really get back seating. Like, I came here to watch someone else play... If I was going to backseat the whole time I'd just play myself

How many defrags would you like? Yes.

what you would do if you had anti power boss in the end? :O

It's a pity that the people that understood perfectly fine how normally complex topics like ethics work are generally too busy streaming videogames instead of fixing the world.

1 second in and i notice the white text What frest hell has twitch jorbs unleashed into this world

And the legend say jorbs never get defrag for another 10 of his defect runs.

omg this thumbnail. First I thought that's your right hand :D

This is the classic defect power deck

I was the one who asked the question at the beginning!

That is one of the most powerful decks I have ever seen

That thumbnail is like "these things drop or I lose because I'm bad"

Camera is back xxx

"defrag is stored in the orbs" - FourthQueen 48:38

This is a criticism of RU-vids shitty algorithm, and not you Jorbs. But i find it so sad and annoying that someone so genuine, nice and who does great content has to resort to the shitty "reaction" face thumbnails WITHOUT your glasses, just to get noticed through the YT algorithm, and get more clicks. It's truly a shit system.

John Stuart Mill / of his own free will / off half a glass of shandy / was particularly ill

good run but i think the deck needed a defragment

The Greek word for excellence is arete, wish I was there so I could have said lol

That was an incredible run!

3:50 Lagavulin wakes up not used to seeing this!

What a stomp.

What in the hell was that Act 4?

eeeej Jorbs Jorbs j-ORBS

I thought twitch jorbs doesnt play seeded runs? smh

But... But the storm D:

I didn't know you can have a power build and not get the awakened one.

JEEBUS this run was all kinds of disgusting

Wow killing the heart is easy when you can play your entire deck turn 1

I feel like, if you have to solve problems with relics is bad design there just too many relics the system feels too random to have such a big impact don't know how you feel about it.

Literally 1 day of backseatting and chat is constantly saying the wrong thing.

booo, no Awakened One

still an't

unsubbed by 1:53 after watching ~30 videos

That person who brought up business ethics.... I think there's about infinite other useful things they could be studying. There are no 'pure ethics' in business. Keeping as many people happy as possible, turning a profit & sweeping everything else under the rug. Nuff said.

Jorbs, I love your videos and I've learned a ton about StS from watching them, but it does annoy me when you're unnecessarily snarky to make question-askers feel stupid. For example, someone asked why you took the blue key in mid act 2 over a good relic (Question Card), a thing I was wondering as well. I would have taken Question Card 100% of the time there. Your response was an attempt to make the questioner feel dumb for asking a good question. There were probably 10 - 15 card rewards left in the run at that point including 2 bosses, and your deck would have really liked a Biased Cognition, another Glacier, maybe a Leap, and giving up percentage to find them just to take a key with over half the run left still seems odd to me, and I'm still unclear on why you did it. Yes, I heard a minute or so later when you explained that Defect solves turns 1 - 2 with relics most of the time, which makes sense but doesn't explain why you would give up on getting good cards. Yes your deck is absurdly good and full of good cards, but obviously more opportunity to find good cards is still valuable. The only reasonable reason to take the key there is if you think that Question Card is the worst relic you will see in a chest for the rest of the run, even considering that you get more time equity from it than subsequent relics, and it would surprise me if that was really true. I love your videos for the discussions of things like frequency distributions, decision trees, and time equity, so I feel like it's a shame when you forego one of them in favor of trying to make a viewer feel dumb.
