I really don't think you can move it as things are getting scored, that would let you duplicate all of your other jokers if you do it fast enough, it'd be incredibly OP. I believe you're correct. If I notice it's out of place early in scoring I'll swap it over but it still seems to fire based on its original position only.

Tried it previously because I thought I'd be clever/noticed I'd misplayed the Blueprint and got burned.

Anyone know if The Wheel of Fortune can overwrite an edition on a Joker that already has one, or will it go for empty ones first? I'm figuring it's the former, but would be nice to know for sure.

I haven't seen it do that yet, but I would be very, very hesitant to believe that means it can't.

I have definitely tried it and it does not work for scoring because moving something once you start scoring is moving too late, even if you move before any trigger is relevant. However, in the example that Nemo posted, they aren't actually moving it for scoring. Nemo moving it after scoring, because gold cards are an end of the round ability. I wouldn't have thought to move it for those, but it makes sense that they are tallied differently than scores are, and they would be able to move it.

just had a gold stake run start with a soul gem for a legendary joker. you want to guess how many jokers showed up in the shop after that? none. not a single loving joker. nothing but stone card arcana and celestial cards. not even a loving buffoon pack. game sucks confirmed

Gerrund_ing posted:Does anyone know if there's some advice for Blue Stack and above beyond "Don't get stuck with anything but a high flush or something like Kings over 10s for the first small blind and pray you get a good joker for your first shop that you can afford?" No, it's pretty much this, especially when you get to purple blind+ that scales Ante 2+ even harder. You need scoring help before Ante 2 and if the game doesn't give you anything you're pretty much dead. I end up skipping small blind in Ante 1 most times because the most it can give you from playing is $3, but usually less than that. The best help is always a joker but held tarot cards sometimes give you enough juice to eke out another shop. You can also try gambling on packs if you have no other option, but with orange stake I feel it's better to try rerolling

At anything below max stakes, the first ante boss blind should be very easily doable without needing to buy a single thing. If it's not, you should reevaluate your discard strategy. Don't be afraid to aggressively dig for flushes/straights/occasional full house, 4 hands and 3 discards should be plenty of resources to dig up two decent hands and the odd pair/two pair if you didn't clear 300 twice (flushes weirdly seem to be easier to hit despite being nominally higher value, but don't get tunnel vision and pass up an easy straight.) You get such a pittance from beating the small blind that you're usually better off skipping, and spending your cash early denies you interest (unless you're playing Green Deck) which means you'll probably fall behind the curve in future antes from lack of funds. (P.S. If you haven't figured it out yet, you can select and play 5 cards even if they don't all match a hand, so if you run out of discards and don't quite have the hand you want you can always play a high card/pair that you don't need and throw away 3-4 additional cards to maximize your odds of hitting the hand you want.) Hackan Slash posted:The best help is always a joker but held tarot cards sometimes give you enough juice to eke out another shop. You can also try gambling on packs if you have no other option, but with orange stake I feel it's better to try rerolling This is an important tip too--don't think of tarot cards as just being ways to shape your deck long term, they're also ways to force a better scoring hand against a tough blind. If you have room to hold onto them it's better to save them for when needed instead of playing them blindly and hoping you draw them when you really want them (obviously the ones you get from the packs have to be used immediately, but don't overlook the option to buy them from the shop, and if you pull an Emperor in a booster pack it will give you a couple to hold.)

Do cards with seals count as 'enhanced cards' for purposes of stacking Dracula joker's multiplier? It doesn't seem like they've been workikng, but I haven't been paying enough attention.

The shiny stuff is an "edition", which does not count as an "enhancement" (neither do seals.)

I believe you need at least 3 jokers to use it to prevent you from just getting a free poly joker. I'm not positive on that though.

It doesn't seem like they've been workikng, but I haven't been paying enough attention. They don't. Seals are Seals. Also not counting toward enhanced are foil, polychrome, and holographic, if you get those on your playing cards. The three take up three different types of slots. Enhancements are basically everything else.

I've seen people say this but the ghost deck definitely lets you polychrome your first joker, it's like the whole point. That could be a special case but it seems unlikely.

I'm fairly sure I've also used a regular hex from a pack to polychrome one joker so I'm not sure what's going on there

You'd need five cards in this case, or the joker that allows you to do a flush or straight with 4. I've beaten it now with the abandoned and ghost deck - ghost deck in particular is great fun. For some reason I cannot get anything going with the first red deck, and the black deck may as well be a lose instantly button

Everyone is different. I have more wins with black than checkerboard. Only a couple of red stake wins, though. I think Blue was my first and... I forget what all else. I'd been playing on white again because I kept screwing my runs up. I feel like the game got harder as I unlocked more stuff.

Combine that with Odd Todd I was talking about above—that run lost btw—and now you’re cooking with gas. I have a run I’m likely to win right now based on playing face card boats, but I’m stuck with Photograph as my only decent source of Xmult. Photograph bums me out because yeah, it’s decent, but working around it is a serious pain in the rear end.

Photograph usually kind of sucks because the X2 applies before your +mults like abstract joker or banana. You can only really get value out of it with like fibonacci or the even joker or the hearts/diamond/club/spade joker by placing your face cards on the right.

Photograph can be okay in retrigger decks as well, if you play that king 3 times it suddenly starts being a bit more meaningful.

Photograph does apply to repeats, so if you can trigger the same face card three times then you get a very decent boost even if you're just starting from base multiplier. That's a pretty niche use though. e: f;b
