ive been playing a lot of watcher recently. im up to ascension 8 or 9 now. im curious what cards and strategies people are digging.
im finding my best decks tend to be all about setting up big turns. the goal is to end turn in calm (if they are loading an attack)-> rage first thing next turn -> unload attacks (ideally a bunch of the 1 mana 12 damage retain ones)-> 0 cost calm card. in that vein, the cards im trying to chase the most and which i find most impactful are (in the order im finding them on the wiki):

ragnarok is the card you want on your top end. if you save your miracle you can always activate rage then use it for a ton of damage, or if youre in rage you can usually drop a calm after using it. just a really good card at pretty much every stage of the game.

 is my favorite boss trinket. i thought this thing would be great. thin your deck a bit. wait a few turns. drop an undercosted attack spell. its not terrible, but it just feels like there are a lot better option in the class. it builds up too slow and always costs 2 mana. ill still take it sometimes, but its way more niche and deck specific than i hoped.\n\n[img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/slay-the-spire/images/c/c1/MentalFortress.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/155?cb=20191028224043[/img]\ni love cards like this. with the old ironclad, i was a huge fan of the exhaust deck, and ideally it had multiples of the card that gave you block every time you exhausted. changing stances just doesnt seem to happen often enough. whether you want to change a stance or now is also heavily dictated by what your opponent is doing in a given round. its just not consistent enough. its almost impossible to get multiple activations off of it in a single round and end where you want (at least in ym experience). like the above, its not awful, and you definitel want 1 or 2 in some decks. its just not a strong build around card like i hoped.');)
