My guess is maybe he secretly ransacks the Item rooms on the floors below Depths/Necropolis and salvages the stuff he finds, leaving only regular rooms in his wake. At least, that's what it seems like.
Another theory could be that Greed is sort of linked to, or at least similar to, Judas. That aspect of Isaac's shattered mind is focused on bargaining and betrayal; Greed makes bargains with Isaac, offering a means to an end in exchange for coins, but he has a knack for backstabbery, and sometimes betrays Isaac by hiding his stock and attacking him, likely due to his natural desire to get more money, as well as a willingness to take a risk and rob Isaac even if it kills him; anything to get another cent.
If IAMBGTH actually became a thing, with Guppy taking over the role of shopkeeper, Greed would probably become a mugger of sorts, attacking whenever Isaac and Meat Boy have a lot of money or piss off Greed's boss Mammon. Speaking of which, were Isaac to defeat Mammon in Atonement/Sin, Guppy would probably take over as the Demon Prince of Greed. (based on the seven princes of Hell from Christian demonology according to Peter Binsfield)
Double and Triple Greeds are the worst, add in a Super Greed and you got 2 Greeds, lil' Greed heads and a Super Greed shooting at you. It happened to me once.
Wait wait wait
You can encounter multiple Greeds in a single room?
Mother of God...
Fairly normal in the Cathedral / Sheol, rarely in the Womb too.

Ok, so I'm having a great run as Cain.
Basement I, first room is spike room/devil thing. I go in there and there's two red chests. Guppy's tail and Dead Cat. Moving on, go to treasure room, something shitty. Beat boss, go to Basement II, another room. I try my luck and go in the spike room (I got a HP Up at end of boss) and one red chest that has Prayer Card. Beat boss again, Caves I, first room has 3 green flies. They blow up to show a secret room with the Ankh in it. So far so good.

Loada pages back, personal concept for an Isaac and Meat Boy crossover; totally not canon. Also learn your demonology.
fuckcckckcckckcckckckcckcck
jesus christ this game can infuriate me to no end
had a sweet run, boss items, plenty of health, max stats, raped everything in a few seconds
then the game decides to throw a The Bloat at me in the room next to the bossroom in the chest. No biggie, I think, I still have 10 hp.
Then the game bugs out and The Bloat deals 8 hp damage in one hit................
fucking hell
What the- How does that even HAPPEN? Don't you usually only take half a heart of damage or a full heart at most? Did the thing actually deal 8HP with a single blast or did your default post-hit invulnerability just not kick in?

I have no goddamn idea. I went from 8 hp to zero in half a second. :(((((
[QUOTE=VistaPOWA;37735728]God fucking damnit, I hate you, Greed.
You ended many of my runs, but why did you have to end my very first run in which I finally received the Polaroid after many, many tries?[/QUOTE]
Well, i've not gotten to Sheol yet so maybe he's worse there, but so far he's been pretty easy in my opinion.
Gluttony on the other hand...
I can't be the only one that thinks Satan is easier than Mom. Satan has a very basic attack pattern, and as long as you are moving constantly, you shouldn't get hit at all. The only hard section I think is when he uses the two legs to stomp because he spawns explosive leeches when he does it.

Gluttony is the easiest out of the 7 sins. Just wait for him to begin the "goatse" animation and move out of the way, deliberately trigger it all the time by going back and forth. If you do it properly, he shouldn't even shoot any projectiles.
Look who came in the mail today! I wasn't even aware that he showed up until I found the package on my floor.

I also got some more Isaac and Steven stickers, along with stickers of Guppy. At least that's who my boyfriend said it was.
Still waiting on the Judas and other Steven doll I ordered... Really excited about that.
Does he want you to get in the box?

"Help me. I am now trapped on the bottom of the floor."
Man, that game was [I]messed[/I].
Isaac is just all kinds of fucked up right now. So I decided, okay, let's install the retail edition of Isaac that I have because why not. I want to play the game vanilla. (I bought it with wrath of the lamb so I haven't experienced vanilla.)
Upon loading the game, I'm awarded with Golden God? Then I open up my Steam version of the game, and there is Golden God on the menu instead of my completed Polaroid. I just don't really understand what the Hell is going on, but I think it's safe to say that my Isaac is just wiggin' out.
It's Flash. :v:
I had to reset my game a week ago due to the game glitching and never opening the cathedral.
One week later, beaten 8 challenges, the womb as every character, Satan as four and Isaac as two. Yeah. And now I think how long it took me just to beat fucking Mum.

Well, everything's harder when you don't know how to play. I know I died on the first floor when I first got Isaac.
I'm sure if I deleted fucking everything, my stats would be a lot better now.
I'm currently rocking technology, odd mushroom, roid rage, coal and Loki's horns. I'm an unstoppable laser gatling gun. Pretty cool.

Managed to kill satan for the first time with that. Went from having 5 rows of soul hearts (I'm guessing) to a solitary half a heart.
Samson and ???. God damn how I hate you both.
??? became increasingly viable with the introduction of the Polaroid.

One of my favourite characters tbh, he forces you to play smart.
Aye; there are a few items that work really well with Blue Baby, and the added difficulty of essentially being Undead gives that extra challenge.
Also, in regards to the new version of Isaac, i'd kinda be interested in seeing Isaac do a bit of a Rage Against The Heavens, after finding out that a divine influence was in fact behind his trials and tribulations. If it were IAMBGTH, beating the Divine boss (Paradise Won, Satan made "falsely pure" by the divinity of the Holy items Isaac gathered) could result in Isaac finding an Apple from the Garden of Eden (where the battle against Paradise Won would take place) and end up eating it, discovering the truth behind why he suffered and was sent to hell (spoiler alert: [sp]it was to prevent Satan from breaking free[/sp]). He doesn't react well to being used like that, even as a 6-8 year old (seriously, how old is Isaac anyway?) he knows how terrible it is to get screwed over and have your family broken like that, and essentially tries to fight God.
Last thought: Eve needs extra things, like inherent Red Patchiness and an always-on Dead Bird with better AI, to become balanced.

I still think it's all just in his head.
He's a messed up kid you know
Beaten Purist Run!
