continuing my decked out obsession: can I say that giving each hermit a cubby to decorate is FANTASTIC and I’m loving how much personality each one I’ve seen has? iskall’s being full of iskallium, stress’s being beautiful and pink, zed’s being a slightly horrifying version of his face, joe’s being a recreation of the guppy geyser… I can’t wait to see what everyone else makes their cubbies into, it’s another little aspect of how personalized decked out 2 is and I love it.

I absolutely LOVE when the hermits are just sitting in the DO2 lobby, talking about this and that, sharing strats, bartering cards, comparing deck sizes, punching each other, giving tango a hard time I LOVE IT

I love Decked Out for so many reasons; the build itself is beautiful, the gameplay is fun and engaging, Tango deserves it, the competition is thrilling and the deck-building strategy is intriguing. But by far my favourite aspect of the game is how it has brought the Hermits together.
There are almost always Hermits hanging out in the Citadel, and they gather in numbers for the phase rankings reveal and shard distribution. Tango watches as many runs as he can. It is ridiculous fun to see them all interacting and talking and laughing together.

i think my biggest decked out 2 meta thought is that the hermits are currently seriously undervaluing the ethereal cards on account of them losing them in the future, and in general undervaluing the entire crowns shop in favor of the frozen shards.
the thing is, they're right about moment of clarity; building up your permanent deck is more important than that temporary boost, and moment of clarity just doesn't do enough for any given run to be worth it if it's anything other than 'the only thing left you can afford'. they're right about that specific ethereal card.
the PROBLEM is that they're extending that calculus to the crowns shop. but that's not the same trade-off in the crowns shop! literally every item in the crowns shop is one-time use! so the ACTUAL trade-off there is "will this item i buy help me enough to make up for the number of dungeon runs it took to buy it". when you look at it like that, it becomes clear that frozen shards are probably a little overpriced if you're just going to run easy or medium, and are ESPECIALLY overpriced if you're not sure you can reliably win that run. eight crowns, especially early game, seems to currently take three or four runs to build up, and that's if you're lucky with treasure on all of them and win all of them!
meanwhile, three crowns is one or two runs - one if you're lucky, two if you're not, from what i've seen. for those three crowns, though, you can get one of the ethereal cards, which will then help ensure you win your next run, getting you to another permanent card. for a little more, you could get something like tango as the dungeon lackey, and REALLY amp up your ability to make sure you win a run.
now, later on in the game when treasure is more reliable and runs are more valuable, this calculus probably changes; suddenly, one extra run is worth a lot more than it currently is. it's just that one run RIGHT NOW is worth like, one common card and a crown, unless you add something to it to make it worth more, whereas a copy of like, pay to win, could bump a run up to an uncommon card, and that's way more valuable than an additional run, i think.

i love how blatant the “anti-etho” energy has gotten after phase 4.
he’s still going to win. obviously. but it’s fun that they’re trying.
