Ascension 100!
My average Ascension Score - (Ascension lvl × 350) was 1032, with a high water mark of 1820 thanks to about 5 Puppet or Lilis rounds in one ascension with meant blind kills were super viable. (Edit: my average score the last 20 rounds was 1163, median 1155, so definitely improved over the course of things!)
Most dangerous card: Dreamer. The number one cause of lost games. Dreamers can’t be used effectively before an evil kill and using them before a kill makes them very tough to validate later. A dreamer on the board is like you don’t have a card at all. Doppel dreamer and Shaman dreamer games are over-represented in my lost game notes. Now that I am this far out perspective-wise, Dreamer is still one the card needs to be fixed to do more so it has pre-first-kill utility, or simply ditched completely. Secondary nod to the plague doctor for being a round wrecker at times.
Most dangerous evil: Chancellor, replacing a villager for an outcast weakens the board more than the puppeteer or corruptors. A nod to Witch and Baa as well.
‘Pooka party’ hands with just Pooka and 4/5 villagers were a delight when they came up - the frequency was about right too. BTW. The knitter should say “There is only 1 Evil” like scout instead of “Evils are not adjacent to each other” in single evil games (taking into account the Wretch).
I confirmed some edge mechanics I had been wondering about: Lilis kills a random evil, not preferentially the wretch, if only evils are facedown on nightfall. (I have screenshot proof). Stabbing a facedown real knight while a witch is blocking does not flip it. Witnesses can point to evils when lying.
I was a little sad game 6/7 of Ascension 66 and game 7/7 of Ascension 77 weren’t something silly (although I did get a seven card seventh game on ascension 77)
A66 6/7 could be a hand with 5 evils and one wretch in play.
A77 7/7 could be a chancellor, shaman, minion game where they all disguise as bombardiers with a real bombardier outcast and shaman dupes a jester and the final char is a judge. #1 Bombardier, #2 Bombardier, #3 Jester, #4 Jester, #5 Bombardier, #6 Bombardier, #7 Judge (Guaranteed winnable!)
