now im curious about these ratings boards and their criteria, or if they just hire people who literally have never played a game before??

If they're like the MPAA they hire people specifically to push an ultra conservative religious agenda and hold developers hostage.

I assume they're at least partially like the MPAA.

I'm tempted to keep a notebook by my desk and record its efficacy vs Gross Michel dying to see if I believe the numbers.

I've had the Wheel fire quite a few times, but it nonetheless feels like way less than 1 in 4, and the idiot Banana is lucky to last two rounds.

Imagine how easy the game would be if Wheel of Fortune had the same odds as glass cards and gros michel. Mysteriously those 1 in 4s seem to hit all the drat time.

Glass cards only hit if you want to keep them, if you're using them as deck thinning they will never hit.

I've had a banana survive half a game, so I guess I used all my luck on that.

When Brainstorm says copies "leftmost" that means in slot 1 on the far left, right?

Yep. If you hover over it there's also a handy little tag saying if the thing you're trying to copy is compatible or not. Blueprint (copy the joker to the right) also has this. Sadly the +hand size joker is not copyable.

Is that a cat in your pants, or are you just a lonely excuse for an adult?

Oh my GOD the boss of my run (Crimson something) randomly disables a joker every hand. I bought a joker right before the boss round that retriggers on the final hand of a round every played card from that round. GUESS WHICH CARD THE FUCKER DISABLED ON THE FINAL HAND, LOSING ME THE RUN

Oh.. other question. If I have +hand size and get a spectral pack, would there be even more cards to choose from or use sigil on?

Yes, it uses your current hand size. Same for arcana packs.

I once had a hand with 3 face cards and the joker that has a 50% chance for scored faced cards to earn $2 and then the joker that retriggers face cards. None of them hit the $2 payout, which if my memory from stats class is correct is a 1.56% chance.

I had this happen without the retrigger joker but with 5 face cards (higher at 3.12%, but still) and I about lost my drat mind.

First Joker was the one that lets you do a single discard to destroy a card and get $3
Second Joker was the legendary that gets +1X multiplier for each face card you destroy

Easiest run I've had yet.

STRONG as an OX and TWICE as SMART
Finally won my first run after 5 hours of playing. And I probably played the easiest possible deck (Green)…and got super lucky.

Jokers were:
1. Red Card, which ended up at +63 by the time the run finished because I was able to buy every booster
2. Smeared Joker (Clubs = Spades, Hearts = Diamonds)
3. Gluttonous Joker (+4 per Spade)
4. Fortune Teller (ended up at like +35)
5. Ramen (spent most of the game around 1.8x)
6. Cavendish (of course)

I aggressively got rid of all red cards from the deck, turned as many cards to glass and multi as I could, and had vouchers for +1 hand, celestial packs always have the best card, and some other poo poo. There’s not a lot of strategy when you’re always dealt a flush that starts and multiplier 38 and finishes around 580.

It was very satisfying to have the ante 10 Big Boss be “Diamonds are debuffed” when my deck didn’t have a single diamond :agesilaus:. Would’ve made it past ante 11 if it wasn’t for The Wall, that motherfucker.

Oh boy it was probably a mistake to start climbing stakes with ghost deck. :v:

I'm at whichever one adds eternal jokers and man, whether this deck gives any benefits at all is entirely based on luck. Spectral cards are really good, especially an early hex! Who knows if you'll get to utilize those benefits in any meaningful capacity!

That being said, when it pops off it sure pops off hard.
