I'm not often a fan of Dead Branch runs because of how unpredictable they can be but this run was fueled by Shivs with the Shurikan and Kunai relics generating a ton of strength and dexterity so I was really just trying to play as many cards as possible every turn and see what fun Dead Branch created! Picking up an early Apotheosis certainly didn't hurt either as it meant I was happy to get Fusion Hammer for the extra energy per turn!
Thank you so very much! I appreciate the detailed response.
