Finally beat Ascension 20 with Silent. Dead Branch was MVP. Just under 1,100 hours in the game.

I am 100.0% confident you mentioned Dead Branch in your post.

Let me look up what those do.

Whenever you Exhaust a card, add a random card to your hand.

Any advice on using dead branch effectively? I’ve found personally it can oversaturate my decks with random stuff I don’t need more than clutch cards

That being said my highest is A9 so I’ve still got a lot to learn

I think dead branch is kind of a band aid on Silent unless taken early and built around. It has extremely high potential, but is also unreliable.

If I already have a concise, well put together deck with lots of exhaust I tend to avoid it.

If my deck is pretty bad and has no real direction I’ll grab it in the hopes it can provide one. I’ll also sometimes take it if only have a few cards that exhaust, as the downsides aren’t as impactful.

Tough Bandages + Dead Branch + Storm of Steel + Calculated Gamble ended up being an insanely powerful combo. Add in the Kunai and I ended up having enormous block potential, if I happened to draw an envenom I could also let damage potential skyrocket. I got extremely lucky that I didn't have to deal with Time Eater as one of my two bosses.
