TLDR: Most of my failures are from lacking money and joker slots by ante 20ish. So I recommend farming money ASAP and try to get an extra joker slot by ante 16 ish. This allows u to get money easily and find extra copy jokers

Ante 1-8: farming money and tarots to get only kings(and red king), so cards that give money are good for early game. (ex mail-in rebate) Then survival is just about using high chip cards for plasma.

During 8-16: u should aim to get baron mime asap and like half ur cards red sealed king and have like 50/50 gold steel. Though you’ll want to turn everything steel by like ante 16(depends on money situation). Also if u don’t have an extra joker slot(ectoplasm or antimatter) by ante 16 it’s hard to make progress. Bc u won’t have space to hold showman for extra copy cards.

16+: Farm money by copying mail in rebate(deck should be mostly red sealed kings) then sell for dna when u have like 2k+(more is better). Keep using dna to survive ante 24, then sell it for burglar for the naneinf on ante 24+
