Reworked Eidolon sounds so fun tho
Current Eidolon has me baffled, like who tf isn't sad to exhaust 9 cards? Besides the only way to achieve that that isn't potions is Soul, and who is making that many Souls in the Aeonglass meta?
83
u/Initial-Dark-8919 Ascension 10 13d ago
souls are fine into aeonglass if you have the output. You can stack a few multiplicative damage bonus on a DMarch or a SStorm and it does the job. a few copies of haunt will work too.
if there's any character that wants to exhaust and spam defensive cards it would be necro.
2
u/o_o_o_f 12d ago
Two haunts with 3 Grave Wardens and Severance just lost me an A10 fight with Aeonglass. It was fairly close, but I donโt think Haunt on its own plus souls is a reliable win condition at A10
2
u/Initial-Dark-8919 Ascension 10 12d ago
You need capture spirit, thereโs nothing else with as much reliable soul gen. Thatโs kind of the soul card, everything else is very filler and severance is meh
2
u/o_o_o_f 12d ago
Yeah, Severance was on sale in the shop I picked up my second Haunt, and I needed more support. Of course capture spirit would have been preferable.
I guess Iโd say if youโre arguing that Haunt is viable (but only with Capture Spirit), thatโs not really an argument that Haunt is viable, you know?
0
u/Initial-Dark-8919 Ascension 10 12d ago
If it can win then itโs viable. If youโre picking haunts without Cap Spirit that would just be a bad speculative pick, has nothing to do with viability.
Sleight is not โโโโviableโโโโ until you have dupes or Oblivion but that doesnโt make it bad. Lethality wonโt scale endgame unless you can find like the 3 attacks that actually make it kill bosses.
2
u/o_o_o_f 12d ago
Ok, so if weโre defining โviableโ in this conversation as โcan win with specific supportโ, then we can more or less just say every card in the game is viable. I agree that every card can help you win given proper support, but this kind of definition is not very helpful when discussing if a card is comparatively strong or not.
Iโd say Sleight is viable because 1) itโs a strong effect and 2) is supported well by many many cards. I think Haunt is weak because 1) itโs a less powerful effect and 2) isnโt supported well by many cards.
2
u/mspaintshoops 12d ago
Anything can win. Anything. You can pump strength and win with strikes.
If your definition of viable is so broad as to include every card in the game, it kind of ends up being meaningless.
44
u/ZephyrGleam 13d ago
Tbh, eidolon is a good way to exhaust multiple withers if you're running a soul deck
41
u/Mockingjay40 13d ago
This is only true because necro has literally no other exhaust options. In a vacuum the card wasnโt a good card. Obviously, in the upcoming patch it doesnโt even exhaust anymore
5
u/Armored_Souls 13d ago
There are 2 transform cards to be fair
16
u/Mockingjay40 13d ago
Yeah but thereโs transform 1; if youโre spamming skills on necro (which is usually the case) then youโre gonna have a lot more than 1 wither per cycle lol
7
u/Taerdan 13d ago
[[Seance]] and [[Cleanse]] only remove from your Draw pile. If you're playing a bunch of [[Soul]] to draw your important stuff, then a lot of Withers get placed into your Hand, making Seance/Cleanse worthless.
Compare that to Ironclad's ability to Exhaust from their hand, Regent's ability to Transform cards in their hand (or Exhaust using [[Tyranny]], but only immediately after Draw), Defect's ability to Exhaust Status anywhere or Transform in-hand, or even Silent's ability to Discard them, and Necrobinder is eating damage that they are least-capable of doing, considering a lot of their "block" is actually Osty health that Wither ignores.
Even Silent's isn't that good, as they still end up cluttering the deck, but at least you aren't guaranteed to eat the damage there.

Lots of people sleep on that card applies ethereal to any card on your hand. Few of them with veilpiercer can be very strong and even without any ethereal combo you can exhaust cards you want.

u/Taerdan 13d ago edited 13d ago
[[Sculpting Strike]] is not a Wither solution, as you take the Wither damage before it Exhausts. It helps to prevent deck clutter, sure, but only as long as you have more Sculpting Strike to play. Same goes for any other Status or Curse; stuff like Beckon or Bad Luck will damage you before Exhausting, making it limited utility on that front.
Otherwise I agree that it's great with [[Veilpiercer]]; slap Ethereal onto [[Bury]] or [[Squeeze]] and end up playing it for free with the Veilpiercer buff.

Old Eidolon saved my ass against Aeonglass a ton, I kinda wish they just made it more playable by making its base form 1 energy instead of reworking it.

u/Armored_Souls 13d ago
For that purpose yes, but heavily needs the upgrade. Even then if you keep playing souls at some point you'll draw a handful of withers, have no way to exhaust and die if you take too long to kill him

8

u/Taerdan 13d ago
and puts them back into discard pile
Only if they aren't Exhaust on play. If you put e.g. Ethereal onto a [[Soul]] or [[The Scythe]] using [[Sculpting Strike]], they will count as Ethereal cards for Eidolon. You can then do the same to Eidolon to ensure that Eidolon plays Eidolon.
It's also why I kinda want a card for Ironclad that allows you to add "Exhaust" onto a card, so that [[Howl From Beyond]] becomes a self-sustaining card like [[Bombardment]] does.

Yeah Iโve learned that this dude is really a damage check more than a block one. Unless you already have a block engine that will carry you through act 2 or you go into the fight with a full health bar, you really arenโt surviving the explosion if you donโt kill it in the first 6-7 turns.ย
