I believe the stone enhancement does not wipe out the rank and suit of the card underneath it, because I swear I've had vampire take the stone off a card to reveal a normal card underneath.

The card underneath still scores but doesn’t change the hand which is funny. A 2 and two stone 2s played with vampire gives you a High Card hand consisting of three scored 2s for example.

Beat Ante 14 for the first time ever with Blueprint/Brainstorm/Hologram/Burned/DNA. Got high card leveled up to the 90s with a deck that contained 80+ Red tag/holo/Steel aces.

Deck was already producing e numbers at the end of ante 8, feels like I could have gone a lot further if I transitioned from upgrading high card to upgrading flush 5 with Burned around then. I have a lot of trouble swapping hands, feels wrong to give up dozens of levels on a hand in the hope your new hand will outscale it 6 rounds from now assuming you survive till then with your 'primary' hand no longer scaling up.

e: Thinking about it would flush 5 even be better than just holding 4 extra red tag/steel cards in hand? Game rules.

The more I play higher stakes the more I really like foil/holo at the first skip. I’d obviously prefer a free shop, but near guaranteed 10 mult/50 chips lets you build up some cash and get a run going instead of resetting constantly for a good shop in ante 1.

At the very least I’m getting way more runs past ante 4 and having fun instead of fishing for good shops.

E: what this dude said

At higher stakes, I'd say if you want a better chance of winning, reroll until you can skip for one of the following tags:

Holographic
Coupon
Foil
Investment (Depending on your luck)

+10 mult or +50 chips can really help in the first blind or two which can get you going. Free items in the shop helps as does $15 if you can beat the boss with no/minimal jokers.

If Top-Up or Mega Buffoon were available Ante 1 I'd also suggest those.

I hate Jokers that can reset like obelisk and ride the bus, not because they aren't good cards- they are, but because I'm stupid and it only takes one second for me to make a stupid mistake and undo +30 mult

It would be nice if the joker started bouncing when you select a card that would cause a negative effect.
