Started out wanting to build a dagger deck. Real simple idea, get lots of dagger cards and the dagger fate thing, that makes it so playing a dagger draws another card. So I proceeded through the game getting basically all the daggers and blowing all the monies on upgrading daggers.

Five floors in, I'm full up on fate slots and the dagger fate never showed up.

Alright, I says to myself. Screw you anyway. Plan Hobo Knife Fight is still a go.

And so I kept getting daggers and blowing money on upgrading daggers.

One (final) floor later and I've shanked the everything with my excessive amount of daggers, ruining the final boss in about three turns, taking no damage whatsoever from it. Welp.

Fate Hunters. Pretty alright card game. The lack of damage was due more to the vaguely stupidly powerful chariot fate that more or less invalidates solo enemies, but.. whatever. The ten damage crits didn't exactly hurt. Hobo Knife Fight ftw.

The bandages are because he keeps cutting himself, right?

I had something like 4 units of Axedwarfs, 2 of longbeards, 2 hammerers and maybe 3 or 4 of Archersdwarves. The enemy(gren-skins) had a massive number advantage (and strong units as well).The only advantage I had was the walls. They were sieging my town. I had my archers stationed on the walls. 2 Axedwarfs on the walls protecting them and the rest by the gates. Towers on the walls and they unleashed a LIVING HELL on those soldiers on the wall, forcing me to retreat to the central plaza. Once there, my soldiers held the ground like beasts, killing every green-skin that would dare approach the plaza. In the end I had something like 500 green-skins dead (They had 500) while I lost 150 dwarves (I had 200). Jesus Christ, that was an awesome battle to watch...

Total War Warhammer (just got it on Steam Spring Sale, I was always a fan of the Total War series.

She*, iirc, but maybe. Sadly, a shiv deck doesn't have quite the same feel. Mostly because upgraded daggers in FH are brutal on an individual level, whereas StS shivs are... less so. At least without multiple Aims played or somethin', anyway. Still can be pretty fun _{so long as you don't end up drawing the time jackass as your final boss.}

I imagine that at this point the Silent doesn't really notice when she accidentally cuts herself.
Shivs do feel a little dinky, but it can feel good to just flood your hand with them and lay waste. Overall the Silent is more about stacking defense and laughing at the enemy's attacks as they slowly die from the hundreds and hundreds of poisoned blades you've stuck into them. I prefer Ironclad, who transforms into demons repeatedly, stacks ungodly amounts of strength, and then whacks the enemy to death with a few blows. I am a simple man. I see strength build, I like.

I suck so bad playing First Person Shooters because it used to give me headaches, but my PC is better and I'm cool with fps games.

So I played Call of Duty Black Ops 4, in some random Quad (team of 4). 
I still suck, that I died early on, but my team mates were great so I continue to spectate. 

The part where I *own* was my team won 1st.  I now have some "calling card" for winning a game with 0 kills and 0 damage.

For me Silent is about finding the right relic and wiping an encounter on the first turn without actually attacking.

If we're sharing StS stories, I pulled off what might be my boringest win earlier this week... followed by an identical most ignominious defeat ever.

As The Silent, I got an Unceasing Top in the middle of Act 1, which cemented by plan to run a lightweight deck. Then, from A1's boss, I pulled a Grand Finale. I spent the remainder of the time stripping my deck down as far as possible, and ended up with 2 powers and an Endless Agony halfway through A3. Which meant I was now dropping Grand Finale every single turn, endlessly. Ayup.

So I decided to repeat that build in an Endless custom game, modded to the gills. On my fourth pass around, I get that ? event where you're falling, and you have to decide what card to remove. And I'm forced to give up my Grand Finale. Needless to say, entering the following combat with no cards Did Not Go Well.

[Egan_BW]

yeah you generally want your deck to have cards in it

[Aoi]

While I don't think you could finish the game with a 0-card deck, I bet you could do it with no cards in your active deck... load up on some strong powers and hope for the best. (No exhaust cards, because that'd be too easy.)

[EnigmaticHat]

All I've got is playing Defect, getting the power where lightning hits everyone and then a dozen copies of the one where you make lightning if you get hit.  That's the only way I can think of to make that concept work.

There's very few powers that can kill enemies, especially if its your only source of damage.

[Aoi]

I was thinking Combust or Noxious Fumes for damage... if we're playing on Custom and engineering for this, then it'd be possible to stack fairly large amounts of certain cards, all the relevant artifacts, and a high base HP. I was around 250 and lasted maybe 10 turns-- the HP was from copious use that +2maxhp instead of a card artifact. Or maybe get a jumpstart on it by adhering to the letter of rules (if not spirit, in my opinion) by using a ton of A Thousand Cuts followed by random other powers to whittle it down first, before sitting there with a 0-card active deck.

Tingsha+unceasing top.

I was happy to get a 85% score on my OpenTTD game with my multiple transport systems
