There's also a few jokers that can get you a lot of tarot cards pretty easily, such as Hallucination, Cartomancer and especially Vagabond. And if you get lucky enough to get Perkeo, you can easily guarantee one Hanged Man per round.

brugroffil posted:Getting a strong economy so you can spend on booster packs and a few rerolls every shop is key. Gotta get those Hanged Man cards and fools to copy them to slim down your deck. I actually did a really good job of that in my last run. Got Trading Card and the one that gives you +4 Mult for every card fewer than 52 in the deck and the joker that copies the leftmost joker. Basically halved the size of the deck (with Hanged Man and breaking glass cards). Had the joker that rewards you for playing planet cards at 3.0x and I still couldn't get past Ante 11.

i thought the joke was it expired on the 24th month, some sort of wacky clown calendar e: although i guess having the day before the month is absurd enough

Continued to work my way up the yellow deck stakes, and had a spookily similar run to the last one I posted about. Another "alas poor Yorick" in fact! ![]() Yorick had to go to make way for Brainstorm, but this time it was even harder because he was Polychrome and about to hit x10, but that still didn't clear doubling Triboulet. Still couldn't clear Ante 14, but I feel like getting there again on a higher stake was progress. Seed is 729F6DI7 if you like pitting two legendaries against each other.

Had some real bad luck in my play today, couldn't really get anywhere and choked once on the last boss thanks to Violet Vessel or whatever it's called with the very large blind. Did my best but could never pull up something with good Xmult to make it past that. ![]()

Castle is one of my faves, it feels like it has just the right amount of "takes a little bit to build but rewards you appropriately for doing so" and it's fun ![]()

Guess who is really good at accidentally pressing Discard instead of Play Hand on the controller and ruining a 21 Ace run like that anyway how's your day

![]() I was pretty hosed here when I got the "all card debuffed until 1 joker sold" boss, and I was lucky as hell to get the anti-matter voucher so I could get some junk to sell. Just Merry Andy left, which I felt like I haven't seen in a while but I probably saw it yesterday. Absolutely crazy how good of a run I've been on the past week or so. I'm flying through runs,

does anyone have a heuristic for how they treat the small blind ante 1 in terms of hands? Im wondering if my approach is actually correct where it kind of goes check for an 8+straight, 4oak, full house with 35 worth of chips or a flush with 40 chips of cards. if I get none of those I'll check to see if I have 3-4 cards for a flush or the middle 4 cards of a high straight , usually I prioritize flushes over straights, but I feel like I'm taking two hands to win a lot lately and I'm wondering if it's ever worth digging for a flush if the opening hand is 2 of each suit. I feel like I've assumed flushes are the easiest to draw but is that still true if you draw the 2 hearts, 2 spades, 2 diamonds and 2 clubs ?

Im wondering if my approach is actually correct where it kind of goes You've generally got the gist of it, but you can roughly use poker odds to help you. Straights have 4 outs to a gutshot, 8 to an open-ender. Flushes have 9 outs if you've got a 4-flush, but some of those cards might not be real outs if your first 4 cards aren't close to 40 chips. It's almost certainly not worth digging to a flush if your hand is that rainbow, I'd be more tempted to chase a 3-straight or discard to try and hit 3oak with a view to making a full house with my second discard.

Finally beat black deck. gently caress that poo poo never touching it again. I would like to thank Yorick appearing in ante 2 for finally delivering my rear end from this hell.

Tiny Myers posted:Sorry if this has already been discussed but what's everyone's thoughts on Erosion? To me, Erosion is on that Red Card/Flash Card level of situational mult where I rarely take it but if other things are aligned (typically Trading Card or an early Immolate) then it turns into a core build-around piece. I practically never take it if I've already gotten my deck above the starting size

yeah erosion can easily give enough flat mult for a chips/+mult/xmult build and usually outperforms red card or whatever the tarot card flat mult joker is called and cutting down a deck is good in a vacuum but if you aren't already at least down to 48 cards ante 2/3 taking it feels like a waste of time

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I said Green deck, and that's on me; I meant green stake. Oooh that makes more sense. Well if you really hit a wall and are unsure how to improve, you could try recording one or two runs and posting them here for feedback. It's pretty easy, just enable in-game recording via Steam, ctrl+f11 before the run, ctrl+f11 when it's done, export the footage to your computer, and upload the file to youtube. If you're getting stuck on green stake, that tells me that you're lacking fundamentals.

Just unlocked Erratic Desk and it does let you run some weird builds. I had a deck that was awash with diamonds and 9s, so my rounds because a series of diamond flushes to feed Rough Gem, a four-of-a-kinds 9 backed by The Family to finish, then a massive payout from Cloud 9. The massive influx of money went on feeding Flash Card. Didn't keep up with endless, but it was a nice one to pilot while it lasted.
