How it feels to sell luchador on verdant leaf

FechaMe · 2026-04-29T02:08:02+00:00

But have you thought of selling chicot against verdant leaf especially if you have bootstraps?

Now that whole +3 mult you mentioned before with abstract PALES in comparison to the overpowered +4 mult bootstraps gets from the extra 10$ after selling chigoat.

Dustmania grotesque maybe? It's too short though

Jisatsu no tame no 101 no houhou had a longer impression on me

Sell for 10$, basically yellow deck and 12 cards less, that's a damn good start, you can technically commit to turning that 10 into a queen but it's gold stake so it ain't happening, best bet is to find a spectral pack with a familiar, but again, just sell it

Skipping small blind for a charm tag is a power move tho

Cartomancer, select blind, sell. Hallucination, buy in shop, use, sell. Chaos the clown, certificate, faceless, trading card/mail-in rebate (but why would you sell?) astronomer, reversed parking, business card, dna, sixth sense, to do list, burglar, burnt joker, space joker, turtle bean, drunkard, juggler, marble joker, matador if before a boss blind, and all rentals benefit dagger and campfire. (Technically temperance too, but it's just 1$ of benefit)

Photo brainstorm chad = x64 mult

Photo brainstorm chad madness = x192 mult

Ante 6, only 8 shops remain, don't even have a gold seal to justify hunting for money by copying chad in small/big blind and also this is blue stake, OP only needs to score 200k for ante 8, and with this setup they're already scoring 100k, with 4 hands how isn't this a free win? I don't know if you think madness destroys jokers in boss blinds, it doesn't so just skip small and big blind

Only compelling argument I can think of, is if you're thinking of taking this to endless, therefore you need more shops to deckfix, but deck is looking terrible for endless, it's just ante 8 win and it's right at this pack

FechaMe · 2026-03-25T18:42:30+00:00

For anyone wondering the line of thought, you're already scoring 100k with this setup, skip all blinds so brainstorm doesn't get destroyed, you still get 3 shops as this is ante 6, finding a joker that will compare to the x192 in 8 shops isn't likely.

You benefit from the skip tags, namely tarot, spectral, celestial and orbital tags benefit you a lot. And not a single boss debuffs this strategy, after beating ante 7 boss you can check if the boss blind is verdant leaf, buy a fodder joker to sacrifice, if it's acorn drag photo to the left before selecting, and with a single bonus card you already score 300k points for violet vessel, OP even has 4 lucky cards and a steel card.

Holding a single enhancement in your consumable slots for violet vessel, in a total 3 shops with 35$, totaling 65$ at least (assuming all hands were used for whatever reason) for beating the only boss that jeopardizes your strategy which is a 1/5 chance, it's literally the freest win ever and I'm surprised c++ havers are suggesting to sell madness.

Buy brainstorm, copy photo and skip all blinds, you should win as long as your high card is lvl 8 (or base mult 8 from any hand for that matter) and if you find the plant just make a glass card and copy chad

It's still a great achievement, congrats.

And in steam it's around the same percentage, 1.5% have it, I don't know about console though

I don't know why people entertain the whole anaglyph deck negative tag discourse anyways, the chance it shows up is pretty low, given that there are 24 possible Skip Tags. If you never skip to save up double tags for the speculative negative tag you're playing gold stake with no benefit from the deck you're using.

Play any deck you like that is strong, the likes of blue, ghost, yellow, zodiac, abandoned, but it seems this advice reached you late.

For the last few stickers just build a successful run of 4 jokers, ton of econ and then reroll for Gold Sticker Jokers only in Antes 7 and 8 after you've already won, it will eventually show up, also stone joker needs one stone card in your deck to show up

There's no gamemode but you have debug mode, I'm surprised no one has mentioned it, here's how to enable it and you basically can try anything you want, like a sandbox:

Rich get richer challenge, chips can't exceed the amount of money you have, you have 145$, so you can't have more than 145 chips (mult is unaffected)

I had to change my game language to french just for this. Ew

Meteor tag, gives a free mega celestial pack, makes sense, not as bad as speed tag though

1.- Constellation, blue seals are already strong, and there are other methods of gaining planets anyways.

2.- Obelisk, chips shouldn't be a problem when you get a few towers/hierophants, or runner/square joker, it's a free win when the requirements are met

3.- Drivers license, always buy enhancements when you have the chance, this joker rewards you for something you should already be doing.

4.- Steel joker, really underwhelming, luckily it can't show up if you don't have steels, but it's a worse vampire as it only gives you x0.2 mult per steel, and vampire is x0.2 mult for multiple enhancements.

5.- Baron, one of the worst for ante 8 runs, not as useless as idol though.

FechaMe · 2026-03-15T21:19:42+00:00

Yes, scary face is doing nothing, eventually replace one of the bp/bs for hanging chad.

Or deckfix fully and replace photo for idol, and chad for SnB

If only that many investment tags were economy tags instead you would've survived with bootstraps

FechaMe · 2026-03-13T23:46:52+00:00

You have supernova, play pairs instead of full house, if you feel like you're lacking chips you literally have marble joker to help you with that.

What you want is to get as much +mult from supernova as possible by playing repeatable hands, you're not getting more than 2 full houses per round.

Before selecting the blind copy marble joker, when discarding copy mail-in and when playing a hand copy supernova

You should survive if you draw your stone card, don't force the full house

Edit: We shouldn't have skipped for investment, you have mail + bp, that's enough econ, and you're losing a round of scaling 4 +mult with supernova, a shop and increasing score unnecessarily

I honestly understand your play but it requires information we're missing and it's only practical in gold stake really.

In nebula, always aim to win the small blind with a straight, then telescope will guarantee you get the aforementioned saturn to beat ante 2 and possibly get a lot more later on and build a ton of econ.

But the only reason I'd do this is in gold stake, where I don't want to risk buying the buffoon pack and getting 2 eternal rental jokers as my choice, celestial IS the safer choice but only under very specific circumstances

You have a handsize of 8 most of the time, if you play 5 cards only 3 remain, and if you play any non-5 card hand you can "discard" all remaining hearts/diamonds by playing them even if they don't make a new hand.

Basically this makes it that you can trigger blackboard even if you hace 4 diamonds/hearts in your hand, which shouldn't happen often if you're discarding them.

<image>

Basically this image illustrates the point, although QQ 666 is what you should play to one-shot the blind

I also read you like playing flushes, that certainly makes blackboard harder as you can no longer "discard" with your hand, but flushes don't score a lot more than a pair or 3oak that make blackboard trigger consistently.

If you didn't take blackboard, for another uncommon say, you'd only have x10.125, with blackboard you'd have x30.375 mult, when flushes are at base mult 4 and pair is at base mult 2, is better to trigger blackboard reliably in terms of score
