they're good at the start as you're learning so you don't have too many mechanics thrown your way
otherwise they then feel more like challenge decks
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb

Playing the spade/heart flush deck, getting the joker that makes planets and planet packs free, and getting your first Jupiter around Ante 8 is quite insanity inducing.
While I'm doing great with the flush deck, Purple difficulty is absolutely murdering me.
The amount of times that I get a Polychrome joker that will die after a while has been uncountable.
I have the impression that the game becomes more difficult the more jokers you unlock, because you get a lot of coins/mult jokers.
This can result in not getting past the first boss if he decids to halve coins & mult, and you haven't got a planet or points-joker.
Most fun combination I had was Midas Mask (face cards become gold) and Vampire (get +0.2 Mult when he removes the enchantment from a card), and a Queen Mult 13 joker after a Spectral card decided to change a bunch of cards to Queens. About half my deck was queens, and the vampire was very happy about that.
Most insane run was getting the Skip Blind +0.25 Mult joker, skipping a blind which gave me a spectral pack which had the duplicate-joker-destroy-all-the-others, so I got 2 skip-blinders, defeating the Ante 1 boss and getting the Blueprint (copy rjoker to the right). As a result I decided to be idiotic and skip every possible blind, getting to an Ante 8 boss that decided to shuffle all my jokers. But all my jokers were xMult
Didn't survive blind 9.
I haven't managed to gather $400, or get to ante 12 yet. That stuff is brutal, and RNGesus can be very fickle at times...
I'd say the easiest ones (that you can unlock early) are like yellow, checkered, and abandoned.
but you didn't get to start with them which adds a bit of early difficult y

In one game I had racked up more than 500 coins with that joker, so you, I lik it a lot
+3 MULT is very different from X3 MULT. One will add 3 to your current mult, the other will multiply your mult by 3.
I was wondering why a legendary joker was X3 MULT compared to my common +10 MULT.
This same fact is why it's also really important to make sure you're ordering your jokers appropriately.

Never really thought about it, but he’s right. I’ve gotten a little too comfortable with winning most of the time.

Haven't messed around yet with trying to copy a +mult trigger and then switching it next to a xmult one to copy both
I don't think this works...
You can move them around once scoring starts but the order they trigger in is fixed, i messed with that during my three vampire run.
Though moving them between scoring a hand and end-of-round triggers I've never tried, that's pretty fun that it works.

Of course, all the work was done by this sick bastard:
Fed the mad Joker each round and basically had to adjust to my new life after seeing what it consumed. For a solid 10-12 rounds, I had the Joker that gives you +20 for only playing 3 cards or less before it got eaten. I was shredding with single hands and getting huge money. Finally sputtered out when the Big Blind was like 7.2 million.
Then I found the 50% off everything in the store Voucher and the reroll the boss Voucher giving me a lot of breathing room.

Got a vampire early in, so I started to feed it, and then got the "copies the joker to the right" card and a polychrome joker for fibonacci. In the end, I had the vampire up to 8x multiplier so I had a cool 16x base.
Got up to ante 11 with that, mostly because I didn't have a reliable way to create chips. I often had my multi at 2500.
- Each tarot used permanently adds to multiplier.
- Each hand played while on less than three dollars makes a tarot.
- Vampire.
And a blueprint for extra fun. Every hand was making two tarot most of the game which meant I had vast amounts of special cards to feed the vamp. Had to move the blueprint to be copying the vampire eventually of course.
Didn’t reach scientific notation but got me up to a top round score of over a billion.
I've lost every single other run since then, like 20 or so. Hell, in like 5 or 6 runs tonight I never made it past ante 3 what the fuck happened
That last one is especially vicious as it can bring your lvl. to 0 (I believe this is patched on PC, but I am a console player) which means in basically no score.
Also, the "very large blind" boss, which has a 4x more score target than the big blind before it, has killed me many times...
Here's my notes on the decks I've won with so far. The highest I've gotten with any deck is Ante 11 with the deck I'd constructed during that Challenge (which I didn't take notes on, alas).

Observatory, 1.5x multiplier boost every blind you clear.
Using the Spade/Hearts deck, I got a +10 "use planet card to give +0.1 Mult" joker.
The game lovingly gave me the "All planets and planet packs are free" joker, and the "Your most played hand is always in planet packs" voucher.
By the time he was 1.9 I had gotten a copy joker, so I tossed all my other jokers away, and copied it, so I was at x3.8 mult with inherent +20 Mult at that moment. Found a Cavendish banana for more sweet x3 Mult, and the Queens give +13 Mult when held.
I voraciously fed planets, and a lot of them were flushes, so I was scoring well.
I managed to beat the 7.2M blind.
I had the "reroll boss blind" voucher and with the 10M blind I would obtain the $10 to reroll the "Very large blind" boss.
I was scoring hands of 2.5M and 3M and the 10M was in reach.
And then I stupidly played a Straight Flush instead of my extremely leveled up Flush, and I lost the 10M
For the first time the Ante 11 boss seemed possible, and I could've unlocked the Ante 12 voucher.
But I made a mistake
