I wanted to ask since well there are no runs here and wanted to ask about the Forest trick/secret. If you name your character "Forest" you start with the 3 star green deck. So you have one of the best decks available right away and can easily solo the whole game with that deck. So i wanted to ask if using that is allowed in Any% or if it would fall under another category? But as there is no known runners/runs of this game, I have no idea if it's okay or not.

Plus I've been thinking about trying to do a speed run of this game and with that being my first thought of beating the game reasonably fast wanted to know if I should do that or look into possible random decks you can start with.

Thank you for your time and thoughts on the subject on a game that's really kinda forgettable even though i spent a ton of time in just trying to get all 400 cards in causal play.

I think i lack the mental capacity to sit through animations.... anyway Forest only gets you a structure deck, it does not unlock the actual cards. A fire/nature spam would ideally be faster but you need to constant reset for a head start in that deck

Well while you don't get the cards to count towards that getting all the cards that's not the point, plus you can turn most of the animations off, plus the deck is a green/black deck which has cards like death smoke and Terror Pit which can clear nasty monsters before they become a problem. Plus the deck is built around Bronze Arm Tribe which gives more mana, and other small monsters letting you bum rush the enemy and beat them before they can do much, plus with Barkwhip they are stronger too meaning they're less likely to get targeted. Plus this deck gives one thing, consistency. So while I won't say the deck is the best, it's a solid deck to run though the game with. I've done it before, casually to build up cards to make my own deck.
