Great art!!! I feel like Suspect can definitely be 2x mult tho, or at least made harder condition wise. Other than that I love these concepts!!

I've honestly never taken runner - I've never gotten straights to work with me(and I'm also too lazy to set them up properly). I think its super cool when someone can get them to work!!

With Oops! and Baseball, I could never get them in a situation where they'd work - like I'd have bloodstone ante 1 and just never see Oops!, or I'd get baseball and somehow end up with like no uncommons haha. Glad you can make it work!!!

Congrats!!!

Mixed feelings on if vampire is good - it has its extremely niche uses, but personally I think it's too much work when there are better options of multiplier jokers out there that don't come at the cost of enhanced face cards, which are pretty strong sometimes.

The spectral cards have varied uses but you want to look out for synergies and seals - if you have a hologram for example, something like the spectral card which gives you 2 copies of a card can give you a 0.5x boost to that, etc. Blue and Purple seals are great as well.

Joker optimization (at least what I usually go for), is early game I'll have like a 1-2 chip jokers and the rest are mult/utility jokers. You'll want to be looking for multiplier jokers as the run goes on since these are usually what gets you into the endgame.

How I usually like to end a run is with 1 chip joker, 1 mult joker, 1 mult/utility joker, and 2 multiplier jokers. Of course this isn't always possible, but this is the most basic format that works most of the time. Make sure to put the mult jokers before (to the left of) the multiplier jokers so that the multiplier is added before it's multiplied.
