Boy can they. The highest scoring decks have all been abusing glass cards and retriggers.

I believe they only stack additively (e.g. a joker that retriggers a red seal card = 3 triggers total rather than 4) but yes.

Yes. Using Red Seal and Hack as an example, you'll play the card, then Hack will play it again, then Red Seal will play it again, then Hack will play it again off of Red Seal. Edit: I think. Maybe. I'm not 100% sure on that. poopocracy knows more about this game than me and says it's additive.

Pairing this kind of stuff with multipliers like Glass Card is how you get to the point where the game has to do scientific notation to keep track of your score.

They'll call the economic downturn "Black Monday" because of all of the people that'll be fired while trying to get past either the Black Deck or Black Stake.

By the way, this doesn't work.



Don't ask how I found out.

I just got a win with a very fun nebula deck which featured:

A foiled Supernova
A Castle I bought at the very start which I got up to 280 chips
A holographic Burglar
And a Baseball card

This is all on top of having my two pair up to level 12, which was doubly good before I sold my sharp card on the verdant leaf. I have some remorse about that thinking back on it because I probably could have played the debuffed cards anyway and made up for the chips just with the Castle and foil, but that didn't occur to me until afterwards...

Also I will always get rocket whenever possible. I bought one after the first round and took it all the way to ante 7, which allowed me to have a massive re-roll spree at before the final boss.

This is also the first time that I've gone for the ankh, because I was always spooked by having one less hand and I didn't see the benefit of going back an ante, but I went for it this time because it gave me three extra rounds to cultivate my castle and make even more money with my rocket.

Anyway time to get my penis flattened by endless mode

Red seal doesn't care where the card is and will trigger it twice regardless, but most jokers specify held or played cards only.

Yeah I thought it might work like a red seal so I tried it anyway. It was the "all jokers are eternal" challenge so I had to reset.

In other news, vampire + vagabond is absurd. Sadly I got this combo in the Typecast challenge so I can't buy the blueprint:

Has anyone seen Black Hole or The Soul twice in one run? Cause it looks like the game prevents that happening.

Also it looks like they have a .3% chance of showing up in planet or tarot packs, respectively

The ghost deck feels a bit like a monkey's paw. I have this awesome Hex card but the joker draw is either terrible or i dont have money and so far i either blow it on a lovely joker or hang on for it too long.

That's why you keep pressing R to reset if you don't get a good initial joker from the shop/skipping blind

Got a polychrome egg so I couldn't really sell it. Then it gave me the joker that adds mult based on sale price of jokers to the left, making it awkward to get mult from the egg...

Another Green Stakes down, this time for the Blue Deck. Two things special about this one:

- Had a very weird combination of Satellite and Vagabond where I was working to make as much money as possible during the Blind and then spend it all immediately in the shop. Eventually the money acceleration ran so far out of control that I just had to accept being rich for the rest of the run and sell Vagabond.
- Was slowly accumulating Wild Cards all throughout the run, so went and grabbed the 5 Wild Card Flush achievement in the postgame. Only Steam achievements left to grab that aren't about pure progression through challenges/Gold Stakes are the big deck and little deck ones.

I was misreading what I was looking at, turns out it was it can't show up twice in the same pack unless you have Showman. Then it can if you nail a 0.3% twice :v:

Naw, I'd just play my cards left to right. Splash means they all will play, and basically my whole deck was modded.

I couldn't take that build into endless, really, but it was never in even a little danger from the main run.

can you use eternal jokers to game the system of spectral cards that destroy all other jokers so that it tries to destroy them but can't? or does that actually still destroy them?

Speaking of Swashbuckler, I just discovered that getting the "reduced shop prices" voucher ends up reducing its multiplier, since the voucher also reduces joker sell prices. Bit of a bummer there, but oh well.
