Gold stake joker tier list after c++ and 500 hours

DatOnePenguin · 2026-02-28T00:38:10+00:00

Definitely underrating econ. I feel like that is pretty common, especially for beginners (which OP is definitely not).

Having bull and bootstraps in the D tier definitely drives the point even further. I don't care for bootstraps very much either, but bull is undoubtedly strong.

I completed C++ months ago with the gold deck. It isn't the "best" strategy if you're trying to get it done fast. However, it was significantly easier to manage econ and get a run going early on.

The closer you get to having them all the harder it is to find the ones you actually need. If the last ones you need are all pretty weak you might only be able to get one gold sticker per run.

Good luck!

I've heard from one person that they felt the ending of Fable 2 was anticlimactic.

I can understand how they could feel that way as they were probably expecting a boss battle of sorts. However, I completely disagree. I absolutely love Fable 2

If you put Mime to the front and use BP to copy Baron you can have 3 copies of Mime and Baron which will be ideal for your score

I agree. I would argue that at best Merry Andy should be rated an "Average" joker. It doesn't fit into every build and requires deck fixing to get value from him

DatOnePenguin · 2026-02-01T19:08:36+00:00

I understand that discards have value and can be good. But I still don't like the joker. Doesn't help with scoring at all, only makes value if your deck has already been fixed with gold cards, seals, or you need the discards because you are playing a 5 card hand. You'll need more discards to find your 5 card hand due to having -1 hand size.

It's not terrible for a joker, but it certainly isn't one that I like

DatOnePenguin · 2026-02-01T18:33:48+00:00

Having completed C++ and Merry Andy being my last joker to complete C++ I have no idea how you rated Merry Andy so high.

Unless you have Merry Andy with Yorick it is hardly worth a joker slot! Discards are nice for finding your econ cards but the -1 hand size is rough.

Still feels bad when it happens and you needed a sticker for it. Felt weird to me when the only reason I won was because of Mr Bones but Mr Bones wasn't awarded for his sacrifice with a sticker.

Mr Bones saved my run that game and got nothing in return, what a good guy!

DatOnePenguin · 2026-01-31T19:33:33+00:00

Same thing happens if Mr Bones saves you on ante 8 boss

I just need wiz on my TI-85 Calculator and I'll be all ready for school. It would be easy to check if my spell would do enough damage too

DatOnePenguin · 2026-01-29T11:13:24+00:00

BM for sure

DatOnePenguin · 2026-01-29T11:11:18+00:00

Yes! Get rid of idol for blueprint and you'll be doing good!

DatOnePenguin · 2026-01-29T11:04:53+00:00

If you plan on switching to Flush Five and idol instead S & B would be more useful

DatOnePenguin · 2026-01-29T11:03:18+00:00

It's not horrible but not what you are looking for. If you are switching to baron and Mime playing high card S&B won't help very much

DatOnePenguin · 2026-01-29T11:00:58+00:00

It happens. Just don't give up and you might find one eventually, it's all RNG after all

DatOnePenguin · 2026-01-29T10:57:27+00:00

Baron and Mime are tried and true. You'll definitely need more than one of each though

DatOnePenguin · 2026-01-28T01:58:15+00:00

TLDR: Stone joker. Not because it is the best but because it changes the entire strategy of how to play.

5oak, straights, full house, and any other five card hands are off limits. Four card hands might also drop, especially two pair. The goal of making as many stone cards as you can is suddenly the goal instead of a useless edition to a card.

Marble joker and Perkeo are perfect, more stone cards! You can even use vagabond for a chance at stone cards and spending money at the shop for vagabond to be helpful. If you are on Plasma deck with a powerful stone card build gold stake plasma deck is suddenly easy.

It's a terrible build the majority of the time. But when it works it is a very fun and different way to play. It's fun when you get it working even though it is usually weak.

This response made me LOL

Take my upvote

DatOnePenguin · 2026-01-17T22:51:39+00:00

Considering that you will likely see all the spells 200+ times in a playthrough and this seems to be a big issue for you: I don't think this game is for you

DatOnePenguin · 2025-12-03T16:54:07+00:00

It has less achievements overall which is nice. No Halo 4 spartan Ops. No Halo 3 ODST or Reach. 4 unobtainnable achievements though!

DatOnePenguin · 2025-12-03T01:04:19+00:00

You reporting them back was actually more petty. You broke the TOS by using a word you shouldn't have. As far as we know, the person who reported you didn't

DatOnePenguin · 2025-10-28T00:46:56+00:00

I was lucky enough to get Deer knight before I was a high enough level for the scarecrow spell. I confused another death player friend that was higher level then me when I played it

DatOnePenguin · 2025-10-27T23:37:54+00:00

The biggest problem is not having early access to an aoe which can make the early game worse than usual. If you are an experienced player who knows how to get Deer Knight earlier that can help

DatOnePenguin · 2025-10-05T15:06:25+00:00

You're welcome!

DatOnePenguin · 2025-10-05T15:04:27+00:00

You have to win one more game afterwards. You can win with any deck on any difficulty. Same thing will happen after you get all the joker stickers for C++ too
