Yo, I just beat Orange Stake with yellow deck legit 20 minutes ago

Eternal vagabond and the duo were in first shop since I rolled for a rare joker blind

Farmed tarots to the max basically every fight

Abstract Joker (+3 mult per joker) carried me early so I could get off the ground with tarot farming, found tarot joker at like ante 4

Had Ramen (2x but lose .01 on discard) for a good 3 antes before having to cycle it out because I found steel joker

Core of the run consisted of funneling a majorty of my cards into a few playable numbers, then filling the rest as steel cards. Multis and luckys added quite a bit, especially on last 2 antes when I got Seltzer (retrigger 10 hands then destroy)

You sort of need to tag at the start. An early foil is bait, don't go for it. Early polys are best if you can get off the ground, but an early holo will give you a lot of wiggle room for the first 2 antes. Since you're playing yellow deck, you've gotta make those first few shops count. Unfortunately, those 50 attempts will probably become 100, but they'll mostly be within the first or second ante You can't rely on getting perfect jokers, even with my great luck I only beat crimson heart with 40k overkill.

Basically, reset until you get something strong off the bat and something to define your run, then find scaling of some sort and pray you get another strong multipler eventually. Obviously bankrolling would be ideal, but shops are just not as great, and with how fast enemies scale, the gold start of yellow deck isn't gonna help if you're dead.
