the first act is great on it's own, don't get me wrong, the story is involving and I appreciate acts 2 and 3 but the first one had the best cards, best mood and aesthetics, and dnd-roguelike play style was incredible

The ring worm has two uses not only for the flames. In the walk towards the cabin in the end the ring worm counts as a ring if you didn't get one from the clock

your stoat stands unopposed it deals 1 damage

>put trifurcated strike on ourobouros >game closes itself bcs of too many teeth being placed on the overkill damage

Magpie is underrated here, its an automatic pickup for me. It lets you pick up WHATEVER card you want, so if you have a Flamed-Geck or Ouroboros you get that card instantly. Drawing Magpie is USALY an instant win.

I feel like Ouroboros exists to ensure that even the worst players can still experience the whole game. Giving an instawin that covers all three acts that you can lose in is a really nice way to help players who just care about the story. That being said, you can still permanently remove Ourobot, which could be quite painful.

It took me until he started talking about Porcupine for me to realize, the "Could've been a Bullfrog" tier means the card could've been as *bad* as the Bullfrog, not could've been as *good*. I am slow-

As a Note: you get bones from sacrificing your own units, not just from combat. the bone units aren't as bad as they seem (as often times I end up with 20+ bones by turn 4 while I am waiting for my carry card)

Honestly I agree with a majority of this tier list, but I feel like the alpha is downplayed way too much, 5 bones is fair for having the abilty to either turn trees/ boulders into tanky attackers, or turning certain cards (like the moleman) into actual threats.

All these inscryption vids show me that Chapter 1 was indeed the best part of the game. Not to drag the whole thing down though, the game was great but I really wish the dev focused more on this part.

Ultimately, the list is your call, but I kind of feel that Caged Wolf, while intended for that puzzle just to get the Stunted Wolf, is still at least a Useful card. I mean, it's a 0/6 blocker for 2 that turns into a 3/2 for free if it dies, which is still pretty solid. Not GREAT, but the puzzle doesn't leave you in a bad spot for doing it.

Ouroboros: _has become a 15/15 due to many runs of not progressing the plot, and gained a Trifurcated sigil during the current run_ Leshy: _watches you one-shot the moon_ Leshy: ...You know what... here, here's the stupid camera film, go ahead and turn me into a card and let's advance the damn story already.

Its a very good list but I feel like there should be a tier for units that should be sacrificed for their sigils, like how there are units that go to the flames.

Pro Tip if you have a very "bone focused" deck: Sacrifice a Black Goat to the Bone Lord and he'll give you a Major Boon which gives you 8 bones at the start of a battle. This card can then be stacked with the Minor Boons.

i like getting lots of pelts then losing so I can make an OP 0 cost death card, once was able to make a 4-6 trifurcation 0 cost card

This game needs a endless mode

Imo the Magpie is designed for when you have an extremely powerful deathcard specifically so you can consistently look forward to choosing it

Inscryption has got to be the most addictive card game I've played in a long time, and it's inspired me to make my own. The only issue is figuring out where to establish the line between "taking inspiration" and "plagiarizing".

Cockroach is actually not a bad card. Several times, I’ve been able to save up Bones and use it as a sacrifice for better cards when I need an extra sacrifice and don’t have much to spare. Plus, the cost is relatively cheap, and if you level up Cockroach in ANY way (adding sigils like Worthy Sacrifice, giving it flames), it becomes an incredibly useful card. At the very least, it was an incredible play in my deck, which means you can definitely get quite a bit of use out of it.

There is only one truth: Ouroboros. Ourobot is just a ripoff.

black goat is literally on par with ouroboro, if you sacrifice it to the boon lord, boon lord will give you a card that gives 8 bones every start of a match which is very helpful for bone deck edit: also squirell is literally a carry, if you had a squirell head totem paired with 3 blood sacrifice sigyl body, you can literally ascend to godhood with those 3 blood cards

I like how ouroburos is it’s own tier

Did you know that if you put fledgling on mantis it becomes a mantis god next turn.

I got lucky in act III and my Ouroboros was smacked together with a few others and the lonely mage. My favorite card now.

The strange larva is my favorite card in act 1, I literally defeated the beast's patronus in the first run (after finishing the game for the first time in launch day and resetting) by sacrificing the adder and putting poison on the Strange Larva and 2 life points with the pit fire, then she would be able to kill the entire line of bears during glitches and easily survive 2 turns, it wasn't even difficult to get these two buffs during the fisherman's area, Its just a matter of get she after defeat The Prospector i just got sad to see with my own eyes that I couldn't get the roll of film without dying once, in the end the patron just put your card on his door

As an elk believer, i'm quite upset kek. I know it's annoying if you aren't used to the moving sigil, but it really helps you clear the board or dodge like the fish bait. Also being a 2-4, they can win against wolf and survive coyote attack.

I really love that in addition to a typical S/A/B/C... ranking, you include some categories for cards that have really specific uses (like upgrades, or are good in exactly 1 kind of deck). I wish more tier lists did this, it's a much better way to present the information.

If warren gave rabbits every turn it would've been at least useful. Edit: What version are you playing on? My warrens can't give blood, they're just a 2 health roadblocks.

You can't just break your own rules with field mouse, cockroach and field mouse should be in reasonable proximity, not opposite ends of the list. Either they're both trash bodies for their cost or their sigils are amazing and justify picking them alone.

Good tier list, set clear and relevant parameters, tiers that actually mean something, overall I enjoyed it a lot!

Bullfrog being below the "Could have been a bullfrog"-tier is funny. Edit: Flame buff is pretty good for any card imo, it just so happens that it's usually even better in other cards like the skink, geck, mantis god and the daus.

I think you underestimate Sprinter a little bit. The card can do damage to Leshy's face, and then the card bearing the sigil blocks a creature's damage, plus your unit probably survives to chump block; I think most Sprinter units have decent health. They're not exactly easy to play control cards, but they have some potential to help you gain tempo if you can predict what the opponent is going to play in the following turns.

If you combine the cat with the goats sigil it’s a pretty op combination

I know the long elk is under to the flames because of the infinite flames buff after the campers die , but if you do run it , a one shot kill card that switches lanes is pretty powerful , because you can pretty quickly clear the board , or at least the front of the board , as there will be nothing to attack it after you clean the frontline . You can also buff it up ( lol , to the flames tying back in ) , and if it gets any extra health , or you give it the mantis buff , it stomps ! ( I guess the same thing could be said about the adder , but it won’t have that move . )

this tier list is really nice, but I find it really funny that some custom cards can solo the game, one time i saw a 7/7 zero cost mantis god sigil custom card, and that was just... insane.

The most op thing is giving the squirrels infinite lives with the totem

I only disagree with the ringbell tentacle, for me its a carry. Two cost 4/3 or 3/3, awesome for overkill on early game.

As a bug deck user, you underestimate the usefulness of a cockroach on the team, not costing a sacrifice and just a cheep four bones is really affordable. Also I think ranking it with out its sigil isn't exactly fair as that changes how it works entirely, and how I would use it.

I blew through the first act real fast because I’m a veteran card game player and now I’m feeling nostalgic for it.

I used urylali once for a death card I made, the card had a cost of 1 with the power and health of 7 and I think it also had the mantis side lane attacks

Cockroach is at least an S tier, one could argue its even better than ouroboros. You can add its sigil to many different cards to make them op, the most broken one is probably warren, as it starts giving you undying rabbits (while also being undying), so every turn you can summon all your creatures as long as you have space and also block attacks from any enemies infinitely (unless they are flying or attack multiple times). Beehive is just warren but worse, still op. Stink bug or opossum basically make it cost 1 instead of 3 bones to sacrifice like a squirrel. Ant queen can now generate infinite cards in case your deck is too small/weak. Geck becomes an undying squirrel. Infinite corpse maggots are pretty good as well. So for me, cockroach is an insta-pick as it can carry through even the final boss if you combine it with a good card enough. Field mice are just as good, but in kaycees mod it got nerfed and i think it has a few less uses, still carries.

i love ouroboros, especialy when you power it up with the cat and child 13, that card will carry over through different chapters and it will be the most powerful deck

watching Aliensrock's playthorough where he kept trashing Ouroboros over and over was physically painful

A lot of the deer could maybe be moved from trash to '1 good deck' if you had the right deer totem in play, but to be honest there are not really too many of the mid-power totems that helps them too much. And many of the strong totems would be better off on the squirrels.

Everytime I see you upload and see another 1k subs it makes me smile. You'll easily reach 100k subs at this rate, keep it up man your doing great 👍 love the vids

13:50 Sifd breaking the rules he stated:

The first act is where the magic was, created a card which costed 1 sacrifice, and had 7 hp and 7 dmg. Also attacked from left, middle, and right, and death touch. Best card

Once I found the squirrel head, my stratrgy was getting the three heart totem and then trying to get as many three hearts or more cards to obliterate my enemies, and then giving them fly to get an instawin.

27:14 by that logic, the "trash but it's good in one deck" category shouldn't exist. If you're rankings A. Don't consider sacrificing for Sigils and B. considers how useful the card is to draw in the middle of a fight under the context that you chose to add it to your deck, then cards like the Ant should be useful. Because if you're not playing an insect deck, then 27:26.

You should do an almost only bones run… I think it might be a pretty good challenge (of course you need blood creatures to sacrifice but if you should pick mainly bone cards)

How on earth did you get all the images of the cards? I look for it and nothing comes out

Ohh can you link to the tier list template you used? I wanna make one of my own

In the end its depends on what deck of cards you have, if you’re desperate for any damage or defensive cards anything would be useful but if you have a good ass cards most of the other cards would just be not as useful and just be a blood or ritual sacrifice.

Good to see some love for Amalgam. Sadly, not many players take it.

The way I use the Warren is that you play a squirrel, play the warren, play the rabbit, and now that squirrel has been turned into 2 things to sacrifice.

so is there like a link or something to this tiermaker tierlist so i can make my own tierlist?

Hey Sifd, can you do a video to how to intall the mod ? Love the tier list btw

cockroach carried my game through the 4th boss. Though, to be fair, it was also because I had an immortal skink and Oura out, but the combined ability to chump block while oura slowly grinded them down was pretty useful. I don't think its trash tier, if you got a lot of immortal cards, the cockroach adds additional meat to stall games.

One of my favorite things was when I got a sigil of many lives (what ever the oroboros has) squirrel totem. I has 2 totems and was good for anything.

35:10 Sifd : "Urayuli is Trash" Markimoo : "My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

I think ant should be better, because by default it is a 1-2 card for 1 cost which is already pretty good, but if you get any other ant cards it becomes a 2-2 for 1 cost

Squirrel Totem Tier list when. I know everyone says blood is the best I've won the game with just mostly using squirrel ants

I can't understand how to get this filed mice. I'm playing act 1 for about 10 hours and still didn't found a single. And i was always choosing 2 blood cost cards and a default card choice more often... Help

i honestly totally understand the logic behind "if this is greater then 2 cost with near poop stats and sigs then it's trash" because one thing a lot of players kinda forget about when playing a deck-building game, and I am one of these people, is that for every card you add to your deck, you run up the risk of not being able to draw into any of your useful cards and getting totally railed by the game because of it, also, considering the fact you need to sacrifice your cards to play what should be 'stronger units' you also have to consider a fact that i actually encountered in act one that i didn't know was possible, the fact you have limited squirrels, if you're like me and have a hard time both during boss fights and normals fights with keeping cards on the field, if you run out of squirrels before you play anything useful enough to save you from a bad situation, you can run out of cards in your main deck and your squirrel deck, now, not saying that you shouldn't go with a thin or thick deck strat, in some cases, depending on your cards it can be encouraged, but it's getting the cards you need to make either of those starts work, while maintaining a good deck cost that allows you to fight against Leshy proper

I'm praying for a patch/mod for this game to expand the act 1. I don't like the other parts, especially the tech one, and I guess I'm not alone with that opinion.

The deck I ultimately beat the first act with was an Ant deck. Had a totem that made all my squirrels add an ant worker to hand. with the main goal to generate hand advantage whichll end up boosting Tentacles attack to stupid high values

where did you get the images for the cards? i want to print them

Where can I find each of these images?

Smells like a tier list

I see cat and child each moving up a tier. They are cards that start off amazing and as you unlock other stuff though failed runs they become unnecessary. When I did a no unlock run when you don't have as many good options they are eazy decks to run with descent winrates. Also I think you undervalued mantis it's purpose like the flame cards and the cat child is to flamed or sigle moved I will say you are right without that.

Honestly? The warren is pretty good. If you draw it in your top deck with a two cost card, you can instantly place down a wolf or a raven or even two one cost cards. Warren is also good for getting hybrid decks going, as it generates three bones in the process of putting blood cost cards on the board

It took me too long to figure out what you meant by the flames, now I get it though lmao

"To the flames" doesn't seem like a fair category when you're telling us that you're deciding cards based on their combat ability, and you said that "to the flames" is used to allow you to upgrade more cards, which isn't part of combat. I'd say using cards for the flame would be the same as using cards for their sigils.

Wait. How do you get the undead cat? I feel stupid even asking bc I have beaten this game a few times but I've never seen that one. Unless I just don't remember for some reason.

Cockroach is pretty underrated. If you sacrifice a black goat to the bone lord you get an 8 bone start, making it a 0 cost card with undying. Give it some stat ups and it actually carries (carried a high challenge level caycee's mod run with it).

Shark should be trash but has 1 deck it's good in, maybe grizzly too. They are great when you have a big sacrafices deck, but trash if you don't. Which is exactly what the spot is for.

Como rayos conseguiste las imágenes de las cartas yo lo busco y no aparece ninguna

Will you do this for chapter 2 and 3?

cockroach with a insect totem with the ant spawner ability is a nice strategy

It’s hard to cover the all the cards because of the niche interactions with each other the enviroment and so on, but I don’t think it does them justice. Sigils are very important to the gameplay and can’t really be left out. Cockroach for me will always be an insta pickup just because if the sigil is tranferred it generates so much value, and making geck be immortal is just bonkers, many easy wins with that combo, and magpie also, drawing any card from the deck enables it making insane combos possible. These two should definetely be higher up

Whats op is a squirrel sacrifice that goes back into your hand with it dies

I’ll make a case for the warren. It’s a 1 blood card that can essentially allow you to play a 2 blood card on turn one, which is a big boost early in a match. It’s also got a pretty nutty synergy with the field mice sigil, but that’s not a super reliable scenario. On its own, it’s an early blood boost.

The pelt are really good because they can be free body blockers that can save you, and will save you in the trapper/trader boss

I still don't understand why Awakend Child 13 is worse than when its asleep

Warren is a card i think is kinda handy, but primarly as sacrifice fodder. In exchange for one squirl, you get a rabbit, and a warren, which you can sacrifice immediatily (provided you have space) for a 2 blood creature. Nifty if you want to push out a 2 blood without having to off one of your other creatures.

In the video when suggesting things to put on the geck card… I put both things suggested on separate geck cards in the same run. plus ants. So when I play a geck it gives me an ant.

the cat is great though if u can transfer it's Sigel to a high attacking card and even without that it lets u draw a squirrel and immediately play a 2 cost card

I love skink, if you get unkillable the tail also gets it. Meaning you have two free sacrifices for the rest of the run.

Once I merged two Urayuli and gave him triple attack property. He had 14x3 attack and 14 defence. When you have a totem of triple blood squirrels it's extremely useful and destroys the moon with one turn

Rat king sigil combined with Cockroach gives an infinite bone exploit. So individually they may be "trash" but they're utterly broken when fused.

I would like to thank thee Why? Cause you showed me the entire games cards! Very useful (and I’m making inscription but Leshy had to use paper)

I don't know if you have an updated version of this video, but I feel like most of this doesn't apply to Kaycee's mod which I have been playing

Grizzly:nothing below my cost can beat me! Undead cat:oh yeah? Grizzly:you are still 1 power below me Two ouroboros:yo cat,sacrifice for us Grizzly has left the server.

If Raven gets a bump up for being flying, Bat should totally as well. Bat is always a pickup for me. In general bone cards are really useful because you can't always make big offensive plays, and when you can you get bones from sacrifices. Even with their relatively high power I always have trouble managing to summon the 3+ blood cards.

Hey, how did you get the images of the cards? Screenshots or actual png?

Skink with the roach's sigil. Unstoppable.

I think the third tentacle is quite useful: it kills whichever one enemy card you want killed then becomes a squirrel, ready to refund own cost. Better than moleman because moleman will block up to 5 damage before you have to sacrifice it and the tentacle will zero out all of the damage in the lane and from then on you can sacrifice it.

I have an admitted soft spot for the river snapping turtle. In a run I was watching of an awesome small streamer (Chris the Absolute Legend, go check him out maybe), on the winning attempt he managed to get THREE river snapping turtles and TWO mushroom events, meaning we got to turn it into a Cerberus-like eldritch god with 3 attack and *18 HP.* As you can imagine, Leshy got absolutely Shreked, and it was SO glorious to see.

I'd like to see a totem tier list. Like immortal squirrels are basically broken since they just bleed bones, cost nothing, and they let you get the benefit of sacrificing units while giving you meat shields that can eat up damage from anything that isn't a flier allowing you to run the higher cost bone units more easily as it doesn't matter as much if your units are dying if you're just getting the card back right away for stalling reasons.

as someone who got a triple blood totem i love urayuli
