I have narrowly avoided being blinded by stew.
I should probably recheck gold proliferation, just in case it saves a cycle or two with this strategy, but yeah, it's easy to forget that I can actually reuse the silver I use to catalyze the glyph of proliferation, and as a bonus, this is generally a much cleaner layout, so I'm more hopeful for it to get cheaper (though it still has one too many special-case arms)
