2. 🃏 Collecting & Completing Infinite Deck Core Pieces
· The ultimate goal of an infinite deck is to collect core cards like 'Exhume' and 'Corruption'.
· 'Steel Crown', which has a similar effect to 'Corruption', can also be a good choice.
· 'Battle Trance' is powerful initially, but it's a card that should ultimately be removed from the deck.
· By preparing 'Exhume' through 'Corruption' and 'True Grit', most of the infinite deck's pieces will be gathered.
· Be careful, as curses or status cards entering your deck can break the infinite cycle. 'Phantom' in particular can disrupt the infinite deck by adding 'Wound' cards.

3. ⚔️ Challenges and Overcoming Them in High Ascension Infinite Decks
· In Act 2, it's important to secure stability through sustain cards like 'Impervious' or 'Dark Embrace'.
· The biggest problem for high Ascension infinite decks is the 'Status' cards added by regular enemies. To prepare for this, it's necessary to maintain 'raw damage' cards.
· Cards like 'Infernal Blade', 'Reaper', and 'Burning Pact' are very helpful for deck compression and dealing damage.
· After drawing a large number of cards, using 'Infernal Blade' to exhaust many unnecessary cards allows you to cycle your deck almost infinitely, giving you an advantage in boss battles.
