I usually skip about three times a run. Once in the first ante if it'll get me something really helpful to snowball, sometimes to boost money above 25, reroll if it makes sense of course, free stuff if I'm struggling.

Ror posted:That's funny, I had the exact same run last night and I was surprised how hard it carried me, I thought it might be a trap without much +chips and +mult. I took the second Stencil and was breezing through the early antes but I thought for sure it wouldn't scale, but I eventually got the Blueprint and with a few planets it was easy. yep that's exactly how it went for me half joker, stencil, oh I can dupe it okay bye bye half, scary for some mult...okay blueprint I guess we're just rolling with this huh It was fun! Six decks golded now...

TACD posted:I’ve read this explanation before but it’s only just occurred to me that this means you could have, like, a foil glass card? Or a polychrome stone card?? Yup!!! With a red seal so it goes twice! In my journey, I'm up to 11 decks golded, every joker except the 100M in a hand one unlocked, and 47/150 jokers gold stickered along the way. 11 challenges down. I'm kind of interspersing annoying deck runs (black, or gold stakes of decks I'm not gelling with) with challenges in order, and someday I'll go down to white stakes and really try to get that 100M thing, I came close once and managed to mess up by creating a 4oak that is higher than flush, fuckin poker hands I swear. Not totally sure if I'm going to grind for all the completionist++ stickers but we'll see.

My vote is blue actually. The extra hand translates to extra money *anyway*, and you have an extra hand for later. Though abandoned and checkered let you really narrow your focus, which might help early on in the higher stakes.

Finally golded Plasma, which felt harder than a lot of the others, if only because chips don't *scale* in the same way. But it only really took three jokers, foil square that I duplicated, got a ton of money, bull, and that was enough to high card my way to the end (and managed mister bones and the family near the end just to get them done)

beat black deck on orange, so I have just one more stake to go, three challenges, unlocking the 100M joker, and then all that's left is the gold stickering I guess!

silvergoose posted:loving hell black deck, I got 380k or something, I just want to beat you on gold so I can never so do again Okay got it after complaining, with a glorious diamond deck. Just 100M in a hand, jokerless, and thence to the gold stickering

Just got the 100M and jokerless done in one afternoon, both with telescope, it just solves so many problems For the 100M, Yorick, Brainstorm, and then just boosting flush up forever with a bunch of steel and other polychrome jokers, it was pretty sweet, never even ended up using the card sharp. Given that I'm done with the deck golds, I think it's just the long path towards completionist++ left! Fabulous game, if I stop here I'll feel very much like I got tons of fun out of it.

Gangringo posted:Yeah, wild cards are absolutely trash, unless there's some 10k IQ play I'm missing with them. Disabled by 4 different boss blinds, only usable for hands I never want to invest in, no associated joker like every other card type. I find them useful when I'm trying to flush with something like onyx agate or such.

I love straights (this statement is always wrong to me lol) for Painted, too, the extra hand size helps a ton for starting with one or having an open ended draw.

Pro tip which may have been posted before but I had to search elsewhere...if on Android Completionist+ isn't triggering, just beat any deck on normal, it'll hit I assume something weird about when the game checks for completion

El Jeffe posted:Finally beat Painted Deck on gold stake. I feel like Painted is a relatively easy deck on low stakes, but pretty hard on high stakes when you need all the jokers you can get. kind of; I find it really, really easy to go for all straights, and those scale beautifully, so you barely need mult and chips, just multimult and utility.

Dr. Fraiser Chain posted:My one complaint is that you play hands before the first shop. I think you should have a shop first. The first round is super tedious and uninteresting imo. nah it's that there can be a joker that costs more than it is possible to have after the first hand, yellow deck or white stakes excluded

Yeah but being able to almost completely ignore chips and mult means I can just focus entirely on multimult and utility (and, more importantly, jokers I haven't golded)

Other than jokerless and golden needle, good Christ those were a lot I'm down to needing a dozen gold stickers, and have now had multiple runs where even with good economy I wasn't able to see a single one the entire run. Should prioritize rerolling vouchers and jokers I guess...
