Got 2 of the spectral packs that convert to one unit, ended up with over twenty 2's in my deck. Ran the whole game playing five of a kinds, it was great. Still get destroyed as soon as I reach ante 11 though! (Just bought the game this week, I'm absolutely addicted to it)

Wow! That's awesome. Were you able to get Wee Joker in that run?

[–] zammy95@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Afraid not, but man wouldn't that have been great

I had a nice Hologram joker (0.25x mult per card added to deck) build on yellow deck that got me my first gold stake win. I stacked Hologram up with DNA and Certificate, but I wasn't able to find Marble Joker until ante 9. I played high card and used Green Joker and Card Sharp to help get things moving in the early/mid game. It was a fun run.

I just tried that DNA Hologram joker combo, and it's so good!

Trying to gold all the decks, on an early Green Deck run (i forget which, i think red or green stake), i found an early burnt joker, followed by a brainstorm, a blueprint, and a perkeo. Eventually got blackboard as my fifth joker.

Spent the entire time moving around my Jokers around, getting 3 negative copies of Pluto for high Card from perkeo each round, then a high Card discard x3 from burnt each round. Ended with something silly like level 80 High card. Didn't push far into endless, but it was the easiest and most interesting time I've had beating Ante 8.

Wow, that's a powerhouse of jokers.

Yeah i got crazy lucky! I wish it was a higher stake so i could've cruised through green more quickly.

My friend put me on an insane combo that netted me 100k+ each hand.

I had smudge joker, a vagabond joker, a foil burnt joker, and a mime joker. I also had 4 steel aces with red marks on each of them and a flush level of lvl 14. With two of the steel aces in the hand, the x1.5 multiplier got activated 6 times.
