Common · Skill
Generically Good Commons
A generally useful Summon card.
Better than his previous rating: effectively an improved Bodyguard that starts the summon/Spur/Unleash engine and is good enough for Overgrowth.
Rare · Attack
An excellent area-damage solve once enough Ethereal cards have reduced its cost.
A solid payoff when the deck naturally has many Ethereal cards; that package is common enough to make the card a lower-end consistent performer.
Common · Attack
Commons To Look For
Best of the low commons and strong effective floor-one damage, but falls off in Act 2; take it when needed to survive.
A weak Overgrowth fallback whose Doom upside is not enough; take only when desperately short on damage.
Basic · Skill
Caleb describes Bodyguard as a generically good card and is comfortable with a second copy, but gives it no captured general tier.
A game-defining starter and high-priority upgrade. Together with Unleash it provides a long-term Osty scaling plan while remaining excellent early.
Uncommon · Attack
Generically Good Uncommons
Excellent at solving dangerous fights, especially in Act 1; sacrificing Osty is acceptable when it prevents a loss.
An overstated 9/9 or upgraded 12/12 area attack/block card and one of the best ways to survive Overgrowth, comparable there to Deathbringer.
Uncommon · Skill
Generically Good Uncommons
The video discusses the reworked version as useful energy for playing another one or two cards, especially expensive attacks.
Powerful only when the deck can exploit the burst energy, particularly with Eradicate, Dirge, or another X-cost payoff; awkward with Soul spam.
Uncommon · Attack
A retained large attack; even viewed as retained block-equivalent utility, the Retain keyword makes it useful.
Four energy is usually too punishing. Snecko Eye can enable it, but speculative copies more often make the deck worse.
Uncommon · Power
Makes Osty attacks efficient and pairs especially well with Poke and Rattle; Caleb often prefers drawing Calcify before Rattle.
An easier early speculation than Sleight of Flesh and a strong payoff for Poke/Fetch/Flatten/Sic ’Em/Rattle packages; its damage matters more on this patch.
Rare · Power
Rares To Look For
Powerful scaling that generates Ethereal cards, letting unwanted results exhaust instead of clogging the deck.
Universally flexible scaling: generated cards can be played when useful or allowed to Ethereal away, so it fits even relatively small decks.
Uncommon · Skill
Uncommons To Look For
Effectively draw three later while enabling Soul synergies; awkward against a sleeping Log and Matriarch because the HP loss wakes it.
Still the premium loop enabler, though Prism and Aeonglass punish its Soul/skill spam; draft it more carefully and ensure the deck can convert the draw into fast damage.
Uncommon · Skill
Generically Good Uncommons
Serviceable when better versions of its job do not appear.
Mainly useful against Beckons and Soulfish, with niche exhaust-loop applications; too slow for generic looping plans.
Uncommon · Power
The Doom output is usually too small; may be acceptable with Rend Flesh and Death's Door.
A respectable but slow damage power that generally needs Sleight of Flesh, Time’s Up, or another multiplier to matter against Aeonglass.
Uncommon · Power
Expensive cards can turn it into a complete block plan.
Can produce excessive block with enough expensive cards, but block powers have less room and it does not directly solve the patch's main damage problems.
Uncommon · Attack
Technically buildable, but Caleb finds stronger things to do.
Still bottom-adjacent despite a major buff; may deserve situational status as a damage payoff in Soul/draw-heavy decks with no other solution.
Uncommon · Skill
Generically Good Uncommons
Low fail-state cost because it blocks on its own, then becomes excellent with common Doom sources.
Extremely strong when Doom is applied consistently and poor otherwise; exactly the kind of card that is often useful but can be bad.
Uncommon · Skill
Uncommons To Look For
Caleb calls it busted: it solves multi-enemy fights while applying both Doom and Weak.
His top placement: a very high-priority early pick that solves many Overgrowth and multi-enemy fights, performs into Phantom, and still strips Aeonglass artifacts late.
Uncommon · Attack
Generically Good Uncommons
Makes Weak and Vulnerable extremely effective, supporting both survival and fast damage scaling.
Strong damage plus amplified Weak/Vulnerable and valuable artifact strip, even after its duration nerf.
Common · Attack
Commons To Look For
Good immediate damage and an Ethereal enabler.
Enough immediate damage to be an acceptable Overgrowth common, unlike the weaker bottom-band attacks.
Common · Skill
Commons To Look For
Caleb calls it one of the best block cards; it also enables Ethereal payoffs.
Still an overstated premium common and often a three- or four-copy card; smooths decks, answers multi-hit turns, and supplies Ethereal synergy.
Uncommon · Skill
Generically Good Uncommons (upgraded)
With an upgrade it is efficient block plus energy smoothing and enables high-energy turns.
His best block uncommon and a high-priority upgrade; one or two copies support compact loops and pay their energy back.
Rare · Power
Generically Good Rares
A slow initial play, but the ongoing energy and draw scaling are worth it.
Grouped with Friendship as premier recurring energy scaling; its awkward Ethereal play window is usually worth accepting.
Rare · Power
Turns established Soul generation into a free way to build and store block through Osty.
The defensive Soul payoff: useful in Soul-heavy decks and can indirectly become damage through a large Unleash, but blank without Souls.
Uncommon · Skill
Uncommons To Look For
Provides a large amount of Souls and supports draw.
Powerful Soul and summon generation, but scary into Prism and Aeonglass and weak at solving Overgrowth; requires enough payoff and energy.
Common · Attack
Generically Good Commons
Efficient damage per energy plus useful upgrades.
One of several damage commons acceptable specifically to survive Overgrowth; its random upgrades give it more upside than the bottom-band attacks.
Uncommon · Skill
Generically Good Uncommons (upgraded)
The Retain upgrade is exceptional; it assembles exactly the block, attacks, energy, or Osty sequence needed and improves in big decks.
A key assembler for the Sic ’Em/Flatten/Poke/Calcify Osty-attack package, but much less important outside that specific combo.
Rare · Skill
Extremely hard to enable; Caleb had not made it work and compares the payoff unfavorably with the setup required.
Generally poor, but exhausting a hand full of Withers can rescue certain Soul-loop decks against Aeonglass; the Intangible clause is usually secondary.
Rare · Skill
Generically Good Rares
Caleb nearly always takes it because it trivializes many Act 2 multi-enemy fights, especially upgraded.
A strong area solve with an excellent upgrade that bypasses Doom's delay, handles troublesome multi-enemy fights, and strips an Aeonglass artifact.
Uncommon · Skill
Generically Good Uncommons
A strong answer to multi-hit attacks, with Ethereal synergy.
Premium block against multi-hits, useful artifact strip for Aeonglass, and an Ethereal enabler; he sees no reason to place it below the top band.
Rare · Attack
Rares To Look For
Flexible retained damage that can one-shot enemies with enough energy or Lethality support.
Grouped with Reaper Form and Squeeze as a premium rare that supplies the fast, concentrated damage now required by Prism and Aeonglass.
Common · Attack
Commons To Look For
Immediate damage, Vulnerable, and Ethereal synergy.
Too weak without an upgrade and only acceptable upgraded when damage is desperately needed.
Uncommon · Attack
Uncommons To Look For
Low deck-building cost because it draws, with high Osty upside; Caleb takes nearly every copy except in some Lethality-heavy decks.
Essentially free cycling and probably the best non-starter Osty attack; multiple copies scale Calcify and Squeeze, though unscaled card spam can be punished.
Common · Attack
Mentioned as an Osty-attack payoff opened up by cards such as Poke and Snap; no captured general tier.
Acceptable Overgrowth damage and an Osty-package payoff; stronger with Sic ’Em, Poke, Calcify, and Dredge than as a generic attack.
Ancient · Power
Potentially run-winning when obtained around Act 2 because repeated permanent removes let Necrobinder curate a nearly perfect deck; Replay can multiply the effect.
Uncommon · Power
Generically Good Uncommons
Extra energy is extremely strong and the Strength loss usually matters little; avoid overloading on normal attacks such as Veilpiercer.
One of Necrobinder's best scaling powers because recurring energy is exceptional and the Strength loss is usually irrelevant.
Common · Skill
Commons To Look For
Solves block while adding Soul support.
One of the most consistent early block cards, strong in either Act 1 and still relevant later through Soul generation and Osty protection.
Common · Attack
Discard retrieval gets better in big decks and can recur the block or attack needed; no captured general tier.
Too slow and too low-impact for one energy; not worth adding in his current view.
Rare · Attack
Generically Good Rares
A fun scaling meme in a small replay-heavy deck, but less reliable than stronger A10 damage plans.
A slow and isolated damage engine; multiple copies, Clone, or a fast loop can make it work, but one unsupported copy is inadequate.
Uncommon · Power
Excellent damage after Soul generation is already established; do not draft the payoff before the enablers.
The critical offensive payoff for Soul-heavy decks facing Aeonglass; such decks may want many copies, but it is blank without Soul generation.
Uncommon · Attack
Generically Good Uncommons
A serviceable Vulnerable source when Putrefy or stronger options do not appear.
A much-improved Overgrowth area option that also supplies artifact strip, Vulnerable, and Squeeze support; useful but not universally safe.
Common · Skill
Commons To Look For
Roughly the lowest of the A-tier commons, but still a welcome pick.
Useful core energy for compact repeating-hand loops, but those loops are harder to execute against Prism and Aeonglass.
Uncommon · Power
Uncommons To Look For
Immediately improves ordinary attacks and becomes a premier win condition with large attacks.
A premium Overgrowth pick and major answer to Infested Prism and Aeonglass, especially with Eradicate or other large attacks.
Uncommon · Skill
Generically Good Uncommons
Serviceable block when Death's Door or stronger block options do not appear.
A useful Overgrowth block card whose cost improves as Osty or enemies die, reversing some of the usual downward spiral when Osty cannot be maintained.
Rare · Attack
Generically Good Rares
Better in multiplayer and useful in ordinary multi-enemy fights, but most important bosses are single enemies.
He sees no meaningful single-player use case for it on this patch.
Rare · Power
Generically Good Rares
A generally good rare and block/Osty scaling option.
Mostly an early area-damage card for Phantom, Deca Millipede, and Frog Parasite; useful with a large Osty but seen too rarely to solve Act 1 consistently.
Common · Skill
Commons To Look For
Block plus Doom to all enemies solves early multi-enemy fights and transitions into Doom/debuff synergies.
Solves several multi-enemy and Doom-sensitive fights and strips Aeonglass artifact, but is poor into Infested Prism and not universally wanted.
Rare · Power
Generically Good Rares
A generically excellent rare Caleb is happy to take in almost every deck.
Enormous immediate energy and draw with a manageable downside that can enable Death's Door and Shroud; faster damage plans make it even better on this patch.
Uncommon · Skill
Can be a one-card damage plan in a small or looping deck and improves further with Doom support.
Primarily a Phantom-specific damage card; too slow for most other fights, Prism, and Aeonglass unless part of a narrow Doom combo.
Rare · Skill
Usually only attractive with Rend Flesh or enormous draw/Soul output.
Improved because Soul-heavy decks now need an Aeonglass damage answer; Oblivion plus Sleight of Flesh can provide it.
Uncommon · Power
Caleb considers it extraordinary repeatable draw; take it with roughly three additional Ethereal cards, especially in a big deck.
Usually reliable draw consistency in decks that naturally collect strong Ethereal cards; especially attractive when already upgraded.
Uncommon · Skill
Uncommons To Look For
Immediate draw three and Ethereal means it disappears in fights where draw is unnecessary; Caleb calls it the strongest direct draw card.
Among his least-valued Ethereal cards: requires abundant early energy and its skill/card-spam pattern is poorly positioned into Prism and Aeonglass.
Common · Attack
Commons To Look For
Overperforms because Necrobinder draws so many cards; becomes especially efficient with Calcify.
A premium Overgrowth damage common because zero-cost damage lets Necrobinder attack without sacrificing the block needed to preserve Osty; also opens Osty synergies.
Ancient · Attack
Specific but good in decks that build and preserve a large Osty, providing zero-cost finishing damage when ordinary Unleash scaling has been weakened by damage to Osty.
Common · Skill
Generically Good Commons
Serviceable block and Summon, though better cards often fill the same job.
A solid two-cost defensive pick that is sometimes necessary in Overgrowth; learning when to take and upgrade it is matchup-dependent.
Uncommon · Attack
Can hit hard in Ethereal builds, but its multi-hit Strength interaction makes Friendship sharply reduce its output.
A real Ethereal damage payoff and possible Aeonglass one-shot, but slow and severely weakened by Friendship's Strength loss.
Uncommon · Skill
Generically Good Uncommons
Weak plus Vulnerable both prevents damage and accelerates kills; the first copy is excellent.
Very powerful debuff application and artifact strip. Often worth multiple upgraded copies, though it is not itself a complete game-winning package.
Uncommon · Attack
Strong with multiple Osty attacks and especially Calcify, but Caleb values Calcify more highly on its own.
Can deal spectacular damage in a complete Osty/Calcify/Sic ’Em package, but is much less generically useful than Fetch, Poke, or Snap.
Rare · Skill
Generically Good Rares
A broadly excellent rare that can anchor a big-Osty defensive plan.
A dense summon that can stabilize a fight by itself and remains good into Prism, but premium damage rares have become more urgent reward competitors.
Common · Attack
Commons To Look For
Premium retained damage that stays relevant and transitions into Lethality and other attack scaling.
A solid retained Overgrowth damage pick that he does not inherently want, but will take when necessary to survive.
Rare · Power
Effectively doubles attack progress by adding Doom, but draft it after confirming the deck actually attacks.
A premium late-game damage solution on the current patch, converting attacks into enough additional Doom to pressure Aeonglass.
Common · Attack
Commons To Look For
Immediate damage that seeds Soul synergies.
Too weak without an upgrade; an upgraded copy is merely an emergency damage option and is outclassed by Severance.
Uncommon · Attack
Included for complete card-pool coverage; it does not appear on a captured slide and has no clear discussion in the transcript.
A specific Osty combo piece that needs enough two-cost cards; once enabled it can contribute meaningful repeated damage.
Rare · Skill
Generically Good Rares
A situational get-out-of-jail card that converts a large Osty into emergency block.
A surprisingly overstated retained emergency block card, especially upgraded; adds defensive consistency and can block enormous amounts from a developed Osty.
Common · Skill
Generically Good Commons
A serviceable Doom card when premium options are unavailable.
Mostly a Phantom card, particularly beside No Escape; can occasionally serve as acceptable common Doom damage elsewhere.
Common · Attack
Commons To Look For
Can be necessary for Act 1 survival but usually falls off by Act 2.
Acceptable Overgrowth damage with more upside than the bottom attacks because granting Ethereal can be useful.
Rare · Skill
Rares To Look For
Shrinks the deck, removes unwanted cards into Souls, generates draw, and enables Ethereal synergies.
Fell sharply after becoming one-cost. Good when upgraded and supported by Pagestorm or Soul payoffs, but slow into Aeonglass and poor into Prism.
Rare · Power
Included for complete current card-pool coverage; it does not appear on a captured slide and has no clear discussion in the transcript.
An unusually dense synergy card: Ethereal, Power, and repeated Osty attacks support Spirit of Ash, Banshee's Cry, Calcify, Sic ’Em, Rattle, and Squeeze.
Uncommon · Attack
Uncommons To Look For
Immediate damage plus an unusually large amount of Soul generation.
A situational but acceptable Overgrowth damage uncommon; substantially better than Reave because it deals more and creates three Souls.
Rare · Skill
Generically Good Rares
A generally good rare that is easy to take.
Raised by Prism and Aeonglass: Strength reduction stabilizes Prism while cheap debuff/artifact stripping supports Sleight of Flesh and the Glass fight.
Uncommon · Power
A solid block payoff once the deck reliably applies Doom.
The slowest and weakest block power in his view, but repeatable Doom from Countdown or Neurosurge can make it adequate.
Uncommon · Attack
Mostly worthwhile with Rattle, several Pokes, or an effect that duplicates/replays it; otherwise it only slightly improves decks already doing well.
A combo piece for repeated Osty attacks; the buff helps, but it wants Pokes, Flattens, Rattle, Calcify, and often Dredge around it.
Uncommon · Power
Uncommons To Look For
A premier and reliable win condition because Necrobinder has many debuffs; only delay it when immediate hard fights come before any enabler.
Immense payoff in debuff-heavy decks and more important under current damage pressure, but risky to speculate on before the debuffs exist because it costs two.
Common · Attack
Commons To Look For
Retain is much stronger than it looks and helps assemble finicky Osty or expensive-card turns.
Improved with the overall Osty package; Retain setup, Calcify, Squeeze, Sic ’Em, and Rattle give it more meaningful combos.
Rare · Attack
Acceptable Soul-based scaling, though Caleb considers it a weaker version of Haunt.
He sees no meaningful use case for it and prefers stronger Soul payoffs.
Common · Attack
Generically Good Commons
Take early to solve multi-enemy combats; it may fall off later, but early survival matters more.
An Overgrowth survival card through and through; Retain plus area damage addresses the early fights most likely to kill Necrobinder.
Rare · Power
Turns an established Ethereal package into free block and combines especially well with Pagestorm.
One of the easier block powers to add when the deck already contains Ethereal cards, though block powers have less deck space under the patch's damage pressure.
Uncommon · Skill
Retain makes it useful as stored block/Osty recovery for the turn it is needed.
Excellent retained maintenance for a large Osty and the Unleash plan; weak if the deck cannot keep Osty alive in the first place.
Rare · Attack
Rares To Look For
One of Caleb's favorites; best obtained early so the deck and enchantments can be built around one-shotting with it.
A premium rare and fast damage answer; Osty attacks plus Lethality can turn it into an Aeonglass kill condition.
Rare · Attack
Generically Good Rares (early)
Excellent permanent scaling when acquired early, but Caleb is hesitant to take it after the Act 1 boss.
Improved by its buff but still needs to appear very early to scale, an uncommon timing for a rare card.
Rare · Attack
A narrow and generally worse No Escape; funny combos exist with Lethality or Reaper Form, but Caleb rarely wants it.
A generally bad attack that can still become a concentrated kill condition with enough Doom, an upgrade, and Lethality when premium damage rares never appear.
Rare · Skill
Clunky and energy-hungry, but Replay can create powerful scaling or double key attacks and powers.
A hard-to-evaluate but potentially strong Replay effect; the extra cost can even help Ivory Tile, but the required pieces make it situational.
Rare · Skill
Generically Good Rares
A generally good block rare that Caleb is happy to take.
Excellent recursive block that is welcome at almost any point; it sits below the top only because rare-card rewards can contain more urgent damage solutions.
Basic · Attack
The damage half of the game-defining starter package; a built and maintained Osty can solve most fights, though Aeonglass demands extra damage multipliers.
Uncommon · Attack
Uncommons To Look For
The weakest of Caleb's very good early uncommons, but still fine; improves with expensive Ethereal cards such as Demesne.
A serviceable Overgrowth damage uncommon that often becomes effectively zero-cost when the deck already contains Ethereal cards.
Common · Skill
Commons To Look For
One of the lower-priority commons.
Useful enough only after its Retain upgrade; without an upgrade he considers it terrible.
No cards match those filters.
