Kaycee's mod has been a rough game for me; i love inscription and was so excited to continue playing but i find it extremely difficult for my to play.. Watching your videos of strats and combos has been bringing my love for the game back! Glad i found your content and who knows, maybe ill get as good as you at this game!
If you watched his video about the Fair Hand mechanic, then you pretty much know how to beat the whole Kaycee's Mod challenges once you unlock the high cost starter deck. But I also recommend going for unlocking the 3 items before going all in, those new items are really good at helping with the wall of grizlies.
@@jean-1009 The items are good but not that necessary and I find them wayyy too rng based to focus on, I beat skull storm before unlocking all three. My best advice is: if you're going to unlock them make that it's own run, otherwise you'll get nowhere.
Man I remember I had a kaycee's mod run where I was given a beaver with the sigil that returns it to my hand once it dies and a sigil that immediately plays it when something on my side of the field dies, so I had an immortal beaver who infinitely died and came back
Legitimately worth considering in some situations. Pretty substantial upgrade from unplayable in my book. Thanks for sharing this, I was wondering how those interactions would work!
My favorite part of Dam Builder is what the Nevernamed's Bestiary mod does. Different cards can produce different dam variants, and it leads to a lot of neat interactions. It'd be cool to see you try the mod out!
I once ran a ant deck build, where I gave the flying ant unkillable and later passed one of those trials and got another flying ant that had dam building and the sigil that gave you free items. All this, and I had a toten that gave all insects the ability to give me rabbits when played. And then I visited a mycologist My turns to so. Bloody. Long. But I was basically able to turn playing the flying ant into a full ant board for TONS of samage by turn 2
I discovered this mechanic when I got a Beaver from a Trial that had Trinket Bearer and Unkillable on it. After a turn of blocking, I was just spamming four Unkillable Dams and using items to fight.
Walked into this video expecting to know all the tips (especially the God Dam), but ended up learnings some new stuff, too. Informational as always, Exxo
The Direwolf Pup's sigil set is really solid. Another interesting combination you reminded me of with this is the Direwolf Pup on the Daus. Or the Daus on the Direwolf Pup. Elder Chimes + Elder Daus has more utility I think, but the Dire Wolf will never not be a solid deck staple. Daus Wolf.
It also has a good combo with un-dying, you will end up with two damns that you can Simmons to block for the rest of the fight anytime you want, essentially shutting down two lanes.
Beaver + Magpie on a Hand Tentacle-centered deck is hilarious. Even funnier if you get a Corpse Eater bird totem and fill your deck with magpies. At one point I had my entire deck (including all my squirrels) in my hand.
You should make a video on all of the interesting fledgling effects on certain cards. So far the only special effects that fledgling has is on ants, which after a turn transforms into a Queen ant
also if youre running the black goat starter deck in kaycees mod, if you somehow fail to get undying or many lives, dam builder is almost like a poor man's third option for the black goat
Giving the magpie/beaver the deck search ability/dam builder is just going "I SUMMON POT OF *POT OF GREED* " and then not being able to play all three of the cards you just got
I actually accidentally got this card in one of the trial's, and it came with both the magpie's picking card ability and the get an item ability, it was pretty wild xd
Remember; a lot of the time if a card seems bad it’s because there’s a very specific way to bring out its potential. Sometimes playing cards that aren’t ‘meta’ can lead to some funny stuff
2:56: "Next is the beehive sigil; in combination with the dam builder sigil, essentially--you know--it turns one behive into three. Now you have three things that can take hits and give you a bee... um... whenever it gets hit. I like to call this combo the BEEEver, personally." I'm calling the police. 🚨
i usually do the alpha - beaver combo, but instead of giving the alpha's sigil to the beaver i do it the other way, so the alpha's affected by totems (it's op when you get the unkillable sigil, you just get free dams)
Did the black goat with undying sigil and got a totem with dam build for deer kin and it was beautiful. The dams were able to be sacrificed for up to 3 blood and when they were destroyed by Leshy beast or getting sacrificed while they return to hand and cost nothing to summon again especially made me had an unlimited walls as long didn’t had flying foes but you always have this combo during turn 1. So y’all know how this combo works the game has it where it gives you a card you can play on turn 1 always, being either one blood or no blood cost but bone creatures do not fall under here as it required other creatures to be summoned and died in some shape or form. You can see this in action consistently if open Kaycee mod and use the black goat starting deck just need to get rid of the mole and don’t ever pick a minion costing 0 or 1 blood
This also applies to chimes; If you put the Kraken sigil on The Daus, would the Bell Tentacle register the other tentacles as chimes still? Would the Daus in tentacle form still retaliate against ones who attack chimes in tentacle forms?
every time I've seen the beaver card, I've said "huh, I bet there's something interesting someone could do with that strategically" and then proceeded to sacrifice it to the bone lord. But I think I stopped playing before they buffed the dam builder sigil
Works with the lizard too AND if you buff the lizard the tail gets extra stats. So you can campfire a lizard and add power and when it splits you have two X hitting creatures. If you give them triple strike then you get a lot for one blood. I also wonder if the Dam idea works for Daeus rat thing and his bells
Well, you could always put Dam Builder on a Mole Man (or the reverse if you want to have at least some ability to attack) to counter flying enemies, couldn't you? Dam Builder (and Bellist for that matter) are underrated. Though I'd definitely rather sacrifice a beaver than a daus.
I remember I ended up using the unkillable sigil when I was playing and immediately started laughing. Next run I used The Daus and gave it dam builder as well, not sure why I did it besides the laughs
Around 3:27 you can see a weird item on the right, the thingy with the purple circular arrows. What item is that? I haven't gotten too far into Kaycee's Mod but I have never seen that thing before.
I haven't gone through all your vids yet; have you done a run where you are only allowed to deal life damage with bone cards? i.e. cards that cost bones to summon.
@@Exxo dam. well I tried. think you've done every possible combination of things without doing something like modding the game to allow robots into the leshy section.
I recently managed to get a Black Goat with Hoarder and Dam Builder from a Deck Trial and absolutely dominated that run by abusing the fair hand mechanic. It was glorious.
I think bone digger gives 2 bones automatically on any card but since dire wolf pap turn into dire wold and looses the bone finder you don't get that 2 bone per round
3 days ago i played inscryption for the first time ever. i obviously died a lot, but on the 4th run… i got the 4 blood, 7 att/hp card (dont remember name), and a lot of pelts. later, i died. so i was gonna make a deathcard. these are the options i had: blood: 0, 0, 4 stats: 7 7, 0 1, 0 1 sigils: blank, blank, touch of death + omnistrike (mantis). next (5th) run, i got the ring worm AND the deathcard#4 in my STARTING DECK. i killed the campers, and got my deathcard to 12 dmg and 24 hp. i used it to get Leshy’s 1st phase over with in a single turn (a no cost 24 dmg (basically) card is insane). then i got my 4 dmg mantis god to finish off his 2nd phase, and i killed the moon in 2 or 3 hits. basically: insane run. havent touched the game since, but i wanna play it today.
Should be noted that the Cuckoo setup has about a 27% chance of making a raven egg on any of the three opposing squares, still funny tho Edit: Also there’s a 0.1% chance of getting full screwed by 3 raven eggs
I don't think it's that the beaver card and it's sigil are bad per-say, but terrain cards in general not doing enough for the cost of having them (Considering they're unremovable by the player). I personally feel that there needs to be more cards that utilise terrains in an interesting way, such as removing or buffing them (It's definitely the most untouched mechanic, and undeservingly too because it can create some interesting tradeoffs).
I just wish we had the option of hammering our terrain. Even if you couldn't hammer anything else, it'd be nice to be able to destroy the dams on command, or the pre-generated boulders that show up occasionally on your side
You want to make a Bone Deck? I can help with that! I've mastered Bone Deck's in Kaycee’s Mod! I was gonna make a tutorial on it, but, um… procrastination happened. I can still teach you, though!
that video ending was absolutely gold
10/10
haha yes, perfect
I feel like if he was asked to make a speech he'd begin with "I'm a man of few words" and then.... Just leave
A thing to add, even though the tentacle combo tentacle dams after resurfacing cards have the terrain card base, they can still be sacrificed! 🦑🦑🦑
Yeah I should have mentioned that
The power of the octopus baby

You'll get better if you just exit out when you lose and reload into the game, so you can replay the same matches and learn from your mistakes
I agree

@@oftheHowlhow does that work? Do I need to force close the game?
I appreciate the accurate names for sigils. Mighty Leap sounds a lot better than “Flight blocker” which is what I call it
Man I remember I had a kaycee's mod run where I was given a beaver with the sigil that returns it to my hand once it dies and a sigil that immediately plays it when something on my side of the field dies, so I had an immortal beaver who infinitely died and came back
Bone-based runs are tough to technically *plan*, but if you run into it, it is really strong, and a lot of fun.
Legitimately worth considering in some situations. Pretty substantial upgrade from unplayable in my book. Thanks for sharing this, I was wondering how those interactions would work!
I wonder if the dause sigil works here, would it override the dams and if not, would a dam spawn an extra bell in the last available slot
It does, and it is the superior version despite the fact they have one less health
My favorite part of Dam Builder is what the Nevernamed's Bestiary mod does. Different cards can produce different dam variants, and it leads to a lot of neat interactions. It'd be cool to see you try the mod out!
The worthy sacrifice combo is a game changer for the high cost deck. I'm gonna have to try that. Thanks for the tip!
I wish beaver had a tribe, it would unlock so many more sigil combos and probably bump it up a tier for me.
Ah finally a better option for my tentacle-only run
I once ran a ant deck build, where I gave the flying ant unkillable and later passed one of those trials and got another flying ant that had dam building and the sigil that gave you free items.

I got a beaver with bifurcated strike and leader from a cave trial once. That was dam fun.

This video has my favorite intro.
I love the Edgy Bone Beaver. One of my favorite combos.
Beaver + Magpie on a Hand Tentacle-centered deck is hilarious. Even funnier if you get a Corpse Eater bird totem and fill your deck with magpies. At one point I had my entire deck (including all my squirrels) in my hand.
XXD Is godf dam a real thing? Its sounds so hilrios.
Yes, Opossum also has a name change as well. It becomes ‘Awesome Opossum’. I’ve forgotten others, if there are any.
it is real and it's soooo on point.

@@theweazel6108 Thank you. I’ve got to try some of those out.
Imagine becoming my fav inscryption ytuber in one video. Very entertaining exxo. This is definitely part of exxo canon
I would love seeing other videos all about sigil combos, the goat terrain one blew my mind
More videos exploring quirky sigil combos would be cool 👍
Damn this content is so good I might subscribe 3 TIMES
Wow good video, keep getting better.
squirrel becomes squirwiel after fledgling sigil procs
You should make a video on all of the interesting fledgling effects on certain cards. So far the only special effects that fledgling has is on ants, which after a turn transforms into a Queen ant
Mantis turns into mantis God. Which is more of a nerf tbh
Squirrel turns into a 1/3 "Elder Squirrel".
@@instantnoob What makes it a nerf, the fact that it can't hide behind terrain?
Opossum turns into Awesome Possum
Never caught an Exxo video this early before. You’ve single-handedly rekindled my love of Inscryption.
Mole Man's sigils would also be super strong with this combo
Yeah, the Beaver (or just Dam Builder, really) can be extremely powerful with the right Sigils!
This man is the reason the inscription fandom is still alive this man pumps out only inscription content
Bever went from a meme to top tier
your best ending yet
Leader dams with a bifurcated totem is the funniest dam combo I ever got.
My favourite combos are those, that lets you get cards in your hand, that you wouldnt normally have, because its really funny for me to get those
Cuckoo's combo is my favorite. My birds only run became Cuckoo's only run with that combo
that GOD DAM cracked me up
this was very useful
also if youre running the black goat starter deck in kaycees mod, if you somehow fail to get undying or many lives, dam builder is almost like a poor man's third option for the black goat
You can get yourself in a pickle if the dams don't get attacked as you can block your own spaces and soft lock yourself
God damn you played two God dams
Giving the magpie/beaver the deck search ability/dam builder is just going "I SUMMON POT OF *POT OF GREED* " and then not being able to play all three of the cards you just got
I actually accidentally got this card in one of the trial's, and it came with both the magpie's picking card ability and the get an item ability, it was pretty wild xd
i once did a run where i got a beaver with flight and what the alpha has (i forget the name) and the run went well and i had a lot of fun
The alpha has the leader sigil
@@dantelqs2998 Thanks for the info
@@Wheelchair_Man My pleasure
Remember; a lot of the time if a card seems bad it’s because there’s a very specific way to bring out its potential. Sometimes playing cards that aren’t ‘meta’ can lead to some funny stuff
I just did a run like this where I realized alpha with dam sigil is op
In a recent run I got a Fecundity + Trinket Bearer Beaver, so the one card would give me up to six items every time it was drawn
From a challange cave I once got a beaver with
Worthy Sacrifice and Unkillable. That was very very broken, just...infinite free black goats
Yeah this is very cool and all, but the best part of the video is when exxo reveals he uses celcius, very epic.
Celcius? More like L-cius
@@Exxo fahrenheit? More like far from good haha gottem

Dam that's good
As an Aussie who gets 40 degrees celuis on really bad summer's i can confirm that he can cook A egg on a sidewalk. Or the near by bushfire
also the reason the beavers dams provide 2 twice as much bones when evolved my be the dire wolfs double attack
I always knew the beaver was op when I saw you get the God damn when they evolve
The beever combo
I am enjoying the resurgence in Inscryption content, I hunger for more, exxo (maybe more stream if possiblé???)

I wonder what happens if you combine the oroboros sigil & worthy sacrifice. Can you get a god dam in your hand? Your god dam hand.
Am I stupid or there was a sigil that spawn's grand fir's or that was the boon
How about Mirror facing mirror with alpha next to it
Are the damns 'sacrificable' with the cat sigil?
I don't think so
The best sigil sacrifice is the annoying sigil on the dams

Honestly does sound like fun to try a boen token run. Emohasis on trying, not winningg.
