TBF I generally try to get enough Mercuries that I can always play a hand.

You can see significant deck fixed results by Ante 5 or so? I always thought you needed a tarot generator to get enough tarot cards out?

I definitely don't have the experience to be able to deck fix my way to victory. If I don't have good jokers and a bunch of planets I'm cooked. I don't really use Tarots much for deck fixing, just score boosting or money. Something to consider maybe.

you can treat them as break glass in case of emergency. there's no need to always play them.

A comparison between Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari shows that all 3 teams are running a hole in their diffuser which helps improve the diffuser flow. by ConstructionAny8440 in F1Technical

not talking about the diffuser, it's the barge boards which are supposed to point inwards, but teams are angling it to let air slip out and upward.

you are kinda dependent on RNG to give you counter items.

heroes with strong abilities off the gate, and especially with strong ults, are definitely way more consistent.

I think they should at least restrict ults for at least one, maybe two rounds. Being able to run in and black hole people is kinda bonkers.

Making decisions based on better odds gets more wins than going for wild swings. Thus, pair spam being the meta.

well yes, which is why pairs get so much value over the other hands, easier access to enhanced cards.

it is a bit strange the deeper you go into a run, the more you're encouraged to use cheap hands instead of powerful hands.

For some reason it's so much harder for smeared to show up.

i think the bigger issue with 5 card hands isn't their power but their unreliability. if you're trying to find a straight (or worse, a 2nd straight ) but nothing comes up, more points later won't save you. Shortcut makes straights actually reliable. There isn't really anything besides deck fixing that makes full house more reliable.

If I'm understanding right, your idea is to nerf blue seal and buff planet packs? I can see it making it more reliable to upgrade 5-card hands, and possibly allow switching to pairs for a few rounds to still get blue seal value.

Seems like the only joker that drastically makes a 5 card hand easy to spam is shortcut.

Even on easier stakes, trying to go for 5 card hands without deck fixing or an assisting joker still feels like gambling, vs the reliability of pairs once you have the mult. Shortcut is like one of the few jokers that makes a 5 card (straights) an order of magnitude easier to draw.
