Is it possible that you've unlocked less on switch and that's making it harder or something?

Possibly! but also what another person said, could also be that the switch is behind on the update, but i also had 3 wins before the last update so !!!

For those of you who have a lot of uncommon/rare jokers in your top-used cards, do you take the "next store contains an uncommon/rare joker" tags pretty often?

I tended to avoid those until they were patched to become free, but it's still often a tough choice.

My most-used jokers are mostly commons, specifically ones that are useful in the early game (especially Gros Michel and Misprint).

The Jokers statistic is interesting, it's a little misleading. You have to win the round after you take it, and all kinds of things affect that. You could sell it, lose the round, the dagger eats it, Gros Michel expires, or you go on a rampage with it a few times.



For example mine doesn't show Egg even though I always take it, because I usually have the ceremonial dagger eat it. And the dagger itself isn't on there because I lose with it :downsgun:! But it does show Hologram as the lead because one time I went forty rounds with it.

It's # of rounds completed with. It's basically like how deep do you go with a specific joker?

If Blueprint comes up, I'm not selling it.

The commons in common (laff) that have been posted are Fortune Teller, Scholar, and Abstract. All three of them are good value and scale in some regard.

That makes a lot of sense, Baron is very high on my stats even though I've only taken it twice because both of those runs went deep into Endless mode and I usually just don't play endless.

I play on the baby difficulty and just simply choose not to take most of the early game jokers that aren't econ and instead focus on finding a red/purple sealed card or a polychrome one that I can make 50 copies of. that's not to say that I never take any of the early game jokers, as I'll often end up with one to guarantee round 1 crushes to keep econ up. the way the stats are calculated are based on rounds held, and I regularly get to blind 12 (see baby difficulty). So while I'll hold that jolly joker for like, 3-9 rounds in a run, it's rarely ever just the jolly joker and just whichever one I end up with before replacing it with an endgame piece that I actually want, which I end up holding for 3-5x longer than whatever random early game joker I picked up. I consider the aces joker to be good from round 2 well into ante 10 because you can get the full pemdas benefit from it from any position on the board, meaning your copy joker stack isn't getting hosed with.

I never skip blind. It's probably a bit of a weakness in my game tbh, as I'm hardstuck on blind 14. There's probably a sweet spot where you're meant to skip ante 1 blinds in favor of 25 gold for the instant econ but missing a shop is a very harsh drawback imo. I never even look at the blind skip rewards so it's going to be a very hard habit to break sadly

The patch made skipping a LOT better. The tags that made jokers appear weren't that good before since you still had to buy the joker if you wanted it, but now that they're free they're much better. Also, on the stakes where there's no reward for the small blind, I think you probably want always want to skip at least the first small blind (or start again until it has a decent tag) because the tags are generally going to be better than the money from unused hands (and also the second small blind if you still don't have any way to improve joker stats or cards during the blind).

Basically if you still aren't even looking at the tags you're missing out on a lot now.

Abstract is just such an easy base mult Joker, it's hard not to take it. The only really weird ones are Card Sharp and Constellation, but I suppose if I grab em during a run, I'll hold on to them forever.



Definitely moved towards preferring deck modification in my Tarot setup, with a hefty side of increasing overall tarot card/money accumulation when possible.

I'm talking about specifically for black deck gold stake, where if you double skip you probably die immediately

You can get 600 points in 3 hands with no jokers, if you die, you die, reset and move on.

Ok maybe I do have the heart of the cards. Hoping to unlock stuntman out of this run.

*Stupid Babby*

To eventually get Stuntman was I just playing white stake, forcing my deck to be full of Kings and Queens and then get a huge amount of money (Anaglyph deck was the best for me) to reroll for a Baron, Mine, and/or Shoot the Moon. Get a DNA or use are many Death cards as possible. Then get jokers/tags to make your hand size bigger so you can trigger more of them.

Forcing this did gently caress up several runs but ai eventually got it.

a quick rant about Flower Pot (the one where you need all 4 suits in a hand to get 3x)

the wording on the card says "X3 Mult if poker hand contains a Diamond card, Club card, Heart card, and Spade card"

but if you play a Two Pair for example that covers 3 suits, and the fifth card not part of the scoring hand covers the 4th, it doesn't score

it also doesn't work using wild cards

but then it *does* work if your suit is debuffed, and supposedly it does work the way you expect it to with Smeared but I haven't tried it

frustrating to try and figure out all the little in-betweens for the jokers and how they work with other jokers, debuffs, etc.

The two pair example makes sense since it specifies poker hand. The fifth card isn't part of the poker hand, only the ones that make up the two pair are.

I was extremely, extremely happy to pick up a negative Flower Pot right before the ante 8 boss on my Erratic golden seal run so I never have to try and force it into any other run, or in fact ever use it again

the language shifts on the jokers...sometimes it says "played hand" sometimes it says "scored cards" and if it says either of those, it's crystal clear. but "poker hand" is a bit more ambiguous
