Finally unlocked Stuntman and got my first e-value hand, thanks to Shoot the Moon, Mime, Hologram, Obelisk, and Blueprint. Also Burnt Joker for the first 7 antes and Square Joker for the first 3. I made it to ante 13!

Lol FrostPrime on Twitch today was in a friendly belatro tournament. First game out of the gate he got to e39 when time ran out. The run itself died shortly after but still, what a crazy game. He even managed to pivot from a diamonds to hearts flush deck along the way

You get used to it. I don't
even see the code. All I see
is Ipecac, Scapular, Polyphemus...


loving finally made it to ante 12. A Walkie-Talkie run got going with Hanging Chad, then I got Lucky Cat and starting making all the 10s and 4s I grabbed lucky cards (thank you Zodiac Deck for the tarot cards). Then I got Oops all 6s and Brainstorm to copy Lucky Cat (after copying Hanging Chad for a bit to juice up the cat with lucky triggers) and we were off to the loving races. Pretty sure I got that cat up to x17 before ante 12 punched me in the face.

still no stuntman unlock though :smith:

the buff to hanging chad is really good

It lets you grab two of the same planet cards out of a mega pack, sometimes.

What was the Dracula joker before the nerf? BC it still feels like an auto pick to me if you have a reliable way to generate enhanced cards

It would gain 0.2x Mult on every enhanced card in the hand, not just 0.1x on the scoring ones

it lowers the chance you'll actually see the planet you want in the first place, and the chance you actually get two of what you want is extraordinarily small. I doubt it's more than neutral value; even if you get two in a mega pack one run, somewhere else in the run it's going to cause you to not get a planet you want

Use the tags regularly instead of stockpiling them to get 6 negative jokers. The more double tags you have the fewer tags you want to click - a free holographic joker probably won't result in 5 new jokers even if you have the double tags for that

Yeah but what tags do I even want. Multiple random holo jokers or whatever seems not much better than one.

Anyway real question: how do I actually use this ability? Never bothered before.

The one time I grabbed it I never saw a double Joker but got a double planet or tarot basically every single time

It's not really worth it anyway though, you can still usually only take one

it's exactly twice as good until it isn't. Once all but one of your slots is filled with something you don't want to/can't replace, it's value declines, but even then it gets you two chances at a relevant joker, and some cash if they aren't a hit.

Blue and Red decks completed on Gold Stake, slowly going down the line for each deck at the moment.

Question about Gold Stickers on jokers, do those only get added for the jokers held at the end of Ante 8 or will the stickers also get applied to jokers added after Ante 8?

Pretty sure they only get added when you beat the final boss blind. Endless won't give you any stickers.

I posted this a bit ago but I've had p good luck on anaglyph deck just cracking the mega packs with several tags. If you wait till mid/late game (which admittedly means you're basically playing with no deck advantages during arguably the hardest part of the game, so bit of a mixed bag there) you'll probably have something that'll combo well with cracking a bunch of mega celestials or mega tarots. I did the former once with telescope and constellation joker, and the latter I've done a couple times just to make a really thinned out consistent deck of kings or w/e to play flush 5's or combo with steel/mime retriggers.

I think if you roll an orbital with a hand you're playing (or could start playing) would b p strong too, immediately jumping to 15+ in even something like 3 of a kind would probably be a free win. I could also see doing the mega standard with a holo joker too it'd just be an instant x2-3 mult bonus

Made it to scientific notation for the first time. 5e24, crashed out on the boss blind of ante 16. If I had managed to slip a red tag into my king duping engine it would have been something amazing.

the best pairing I had with Dracula was the joker where it gives you a tarot card for every hand you play while you have $3 or less in the bank. if you can find a joker or voucher that boosts your hands, you're looking at least 15 tarots generated per ante, plus anything that pops up in the shop & packs. I got Dracula up to about 13x that way

I'm with you there after clearing Golden Needle yesterday.

I'm on ios so I don't have the update yet, but I love this game enough that I'm going for Completionist++ eventually. I've already gotten golden stickers on some jokers I was really dreading, from the tier list here (which I found pretty accurate pre-patch, although I'd definitely rearrange a few things) I think I have 13/35 of the D tier ones already.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V1KQlcwy2M

Personally, I'd say:
Move Up: Baseball Card, Hologram, Burglar, Even Steven, Blue Joker, Green Joker

Drop down: the non-pair/flush ones like The Trio, Scholar, DNA, Acrobat, Mystic Summit, Ancient Joker

This is correct, it's a snapshot when you clear ante 8.

If you clear it on a Mr. Bones save, all of the other jokers in hand will get the gold sticker but Mr. Bones won't.

(Actually on the tier list thing I'd move up Mr. Bones to like, B because if you get him in the 8th blind he's pretty much an auto-win, skip to the boss and he's -1 joker slot to clear with 25% of the chips)

Red, Blue and Yellow done, onto Green.

Overall, easier due to the extra $10 to start with. You can take a couple econ tags Ante 1 and really set yourself up early.

You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.



If I have two jokers and one of them is eternal, and I use one of those spectral cards that gives one joker a bonus and kills all your other jokers, does that always end up with your eternal joker getting the bonus, or is there a 50% chance that your other joker gets the bonus and the kill effect bounces harmlessly off the eternal joker?
