I don't think I'll ever be able to resist getting a negative joker. I guess it's similar to buying another voucher but jokers tend to be better ime

Blueprint + Marble Joker + DNA + heavily upgraded pants + Hologram was a pretty amazing combo, it's fun being able to triple-dip on Blueprint. Still only made it to Ante 12 though, I guess because even my quadratic scaling couldn't keep up with the geometric scaling of the Blinds.

Maybe it could be introduced as a feature at higher stake levels where the playerbase will be less casual?

Missing my favourite thing about four finger straight flushes (the 4 cards that make it a flush don't have to be the same 4 cards that make it a straight)

I'm not expecting deep story/gameplay integration but it does seem like the game could use some kind of payoff involving Jimbo or a more exciting final boss than just the ante 8 crew. Might be like Slay the Spire where a 'true' boss is added later.

I could believe the gold deck is better on lower ante. You'd probably put Blue Deck above it at higher antes though since it's just so critical to not whiff at the first couple of shops, and getting a guaranteed 20% more points per round (or +$1 if you don't need that) gives you more breathing room.

The stone tarot cards were decent on a Ride the Bus/Square Joker/High Card run I had, since I could use them to eliminate the face cards I would never want to play anyway.

It remembers the 'base card', yeah - it will also reappear if you apply another enhancement to the stone card.

Getting a whole extra ante to try and find a joker that will let you transition to ante 11/12 is very valuable

I can imagine it could also start to get quite complex for the game to score a hand with multiple rank wildcards. For the suit wildcards you're only checking for flushes.

Thinking about it while brute forcing it would be hard you could probably adjust the score checker to account for numerical wildcards fairly easily. Like if you have x wildcards and 5-x non-wildcards then all you have to do (barring making sure to treat Ace as both 1 and 14) to check for a straight is to make sure that the non-wildcards 1) are all different and 2) the highest card is a maximum of 4 greater than the lowest card. And any given set can just be upgraded by one rank for each wildcard you have (IE High Card -> Pair -> Three -> Four -> Five) while 2 Pair becomes a Full House.

The wild thing is that a Vampire + Blueprint setup is still only quadratic scaling (or quartic scaling on the Plasma Deck, I guess) and will rapidly fall behind the greater-than-exponential-growth of the blinds. One of the "in-hand" multiplication builds seems like the only real way to stack multiplications repeatedly and get a long way into Endless - I had one just now which got me to Ante 14 and probably could've got me further if I managed my deck better/I didn't get really unlucky on one of the blinds and fail to get a hand full of Kings for the first time in ages.

It's good as long as you can get more value than +1 hands during an extra ante.

There should be a Joker that gives +2 Joker slots with a big downside imo
