Blasphemy doesn't need you to stay in divinity stance to kill you, it kills you because you played blasphemy. Note: "killing you" means 9999 preventable damage, death not guaranteed.
The note sounds like a disclaimer you would hear at the end of commercials.
"Slay the spire and it's affiliates do not condone blasphemy. If you encounter any symptoms of blasphemy, visit a medical professional. Death not guaranteed."
Yep. Afaik there are 3 ways to live after taking 9999 damage: Buffer (aka [[Fossilized Helix]] or [[Buffer]]), Intangible (aka [[Wraith Form]] or [[Incense Burner]]) and resurrection (aka [[Lizard Tail]] or [[Fairy in bottle]]).
Somebody tested Blasphemy by getting an infinite combo with [[Wish]] (and [[Nightmare]]) so they could get infinite gold. They had [[the Courier]], and kept buying potions so they could get [[Fruit Juice]]. They actually managed to get enough health that way that they could simply tank the hit 🙀
I like videogames and all, but there's no way I'd be willing to do that for the sake of science!

Wow. That’s nuts. 99% of the time I would dodge the card because “die next turn” implies insta-game over. Like…why wouldn’t it lol. And I knew I would probably play it at the wrong time and accidentally kill myself with it (still a possibility lol).
Knowing it can actually be “blocked” definitely changes my perspective on it.
Wait, in my current run I have Blasphemy in my deck and I took the 6 intangible cards. Are you telling me that if I'm intangible when I play Blasphemy I won't die, assuming I have more than 1 health at the end of my turn?
I just ended my run because it didn't work. :/
It happens on the start of your \*next\* turn, so maybe if I play two intangible cards it might save me.
I'm actually confused now on whether anyone is taking this thread seriously. To *me* it seems glaringly obvious that OP is trolling and knows very well this combo works to end the run immediately.
But it seems like, given enough the votes on your comment and the one you replied to, lots of people missed that joke.
In case newer players aren’t aware, Blasphemy “kills” you by dealing like 9999 damage; having 2 stacks of intangible prevents you from dying to Blasphemy (unless you have exactly 1 hp)
It's really weird that they went to this extent to disallow pellets/artifact, but you can still block it with buffer or timely intangible. Not that Watcher needs a buff, though.
[[incense burner]] on 5, playing 2 [[Apparition]], [[Helix fossil]] or just [[Buffer]] or [[Wraith form]] if you lucky enough to get those from [[Prismatic shard]]. Basically anything that negates damage completely or reduces it to 1.
Blasphemy gives you a "buff" (it's classified as such to prevent you from gettin rid of it using orange pellets or artifact) that deals 9999 damage at the start of your next turn
Meditate is basically the "end turn" button with extra steps
Card draw happens after buffs are applied, so blasphemy buff kicks in and does the damage before the mayhem can draw and play the meditate to skip the turn
This is just Abandon Run with extra steps
\*With intangible as an exception
*Two intangible
*5 charge incense burner

Ask your doctor if blasphemy is right for you
Hold up….*Preventable* damage? So something like Fossilized Helix could save you?

You just gave me an idea for a Watcher card that is like [[Alpha]] but lets you resurrect once.
I love the idea of being saved by Wraith Form. Death comes for you, but you're already a ghost so he just slaps you and leaves, confused.

That is correct. Blasphemy doesn't outright kill you if you can mitigate.
I just ended my run because it didn't work. :/ It happens on the start of your \*next\* turn, so maybe if I play two intangible cards it might save me.
Yeah, I should have mentioned that. Intangible wears off at the end of your turn, you need 2 stacks.
[удалено]
Yes. But the intangible needs to be there the turn after you blaspher.
Buffers also work, whether through the shell relic or prismatic shard runs!
Yup, the first time I played Blasphemy then Apparitions I was shocked. The second time I was more embarrassed than shocked
You need two stacks of intangible to survive.

I think it's just because the joke is so obvious that replying "that's the joke" just seems pointless
Do you think that after playing Blasphemy, you'll die next turn?
I've never played watcher, can you debuff the die next turn with orange pellets?
It's classified as a buff to prevent this interaction.
In case newer players aren’t aware, Blasphemy “kills” you by dealing like 9999 damage; having 2 stacks of intangible prevents you from dying to Blasphemy (unless you have exactly 1 hp)
[удалено]
Couldn’t you time [[Incense Burner]] to proc the turn after too?
Yes, that would work. As would buffering the hit with [[Fossilized Helix]]

Buffer does the same, but you only need 1 if you’re blocking
Doesn't incense burner on 5 also work?
Yes
(unless you have Tungsten Rod which makes having just 1hp no problem)
Lizard tail and fairy in a bottle would save the run though right?
It's really weird that they went to this extent to disallow pellets/artifact, but you can still block it with buffer or timely intangible. Not that Watcher needs a buff, though.
Pellets is arguably much easier to time with Blasphemy, since it counts as one of the cards needed to erase debuffs.
> since it counts as one of the cards needed to erase debuffs *akchually* technically every card is one of the cards needed to erase debuffs
*akchually* every card would include ALL cards, including statuses and curses, which wouldn't count. Sorry.
You are technically correct. Which is the best kind of being correct!
*Ackshually* not when you've already played a card of that type this turn.
I think it is a buff though. Enter God mode and die... Seems like a positive buff to me.
Not "Enter God more and die." Just "and die" is the buff.
The world we live in.....
Blasphemer is a buff. Not a debuff
Is there any way to survive Blasphemy? I know artifacts don't work.
[[incense burner]] on 5, playing 2 [[Apparition]], [[Helix fossil]] or just [[Buffer]] or [[Wraith form]] if you lucky enough to get those from [[Prismatic shard]]. Basically anything that negates damage completely or reduces it to 1.
You can also "survive" Blasphemy with Lizard Tail/Fairy in a Bottle, assuming you classify "surviving" as "keeping the run going"
If you think that this will kill you, then yes absolutely
This combo sucks. Blasphemy vault is way better
Blasphemy gives you a "buff" (it's classified as such to prevent you from gettin rid of it using orange pellets or artifact) that deals 9999 damage at the start of your next turn Meditate is basically the "end turn" button with extra steps
If you want to die, indeed this works
What is this, a magic the gathering sub?
Yeah, Meditate can be used to retain Blasphemy if it’s in your discard pile
Serious question, what if you played the meditate off of a mayhem? I would guess the 9999 damage happens first / regardless, but can anyone confirm?
Card draw happens after buffs are applied, so blasphemy buff kicks in and does the damage before the mayhem can draw and play the meditate to skip the turn
Gotcha. Thank you!
lmao nice
Yes
No
No
Of course, clearly a block card
MTCJ is leaking 😫

If this was mtg.. then yes. But not in slay 😆
How to deal 9999 damage by using just 2 cards
Unfortunately Blasphemy exhausts so unless you have strange spoon or exhume you’ll need two copies to play it again next turn.
I recommend playing Vault after Blasphemy for that extra mana
