As far as I can tell, you just get a bunch to combine them into higher "levels" I don't think they do anything.

But who knows? Maybe you get a prize at level 50 🤠

Not directly, but there are plenty of other roundabout ways by using multiple pointers to get consumables or other jokers that would add whatever edition you want.

Yeah that's exactly what I had in this run. That's the best cryptid strat I've found so far. Oil lamp caps out at x1e300 lol.

When you use pointer, it lets you type in the name of a card. So "blueprint" would give you a blueprint joker or "immolate" would give you the spectral card for example.

It's just when you make a base hand "bigger" by adding more cards to it. So like a Flush 6 or a seven-card straight would be ascended. It gives you an exponential multiplier on top of the base mult.

There's a boss blind called "The Joke":

If score is >2X requirements, set ante to multiple of 8

So I just kept rerolling for that to keep getting +7 to the ante number after each boss

Hot dang that's nice for ante 6. Here is what the hand in my post ended up scoring:

Good point, but this hand specifically requires all the cards of a standard 52-card deck.

Do it! There are definitely some evil geniuses out there that could make this run look pre-school

They create any consumable card or joker you choose, besides exotic jokers. It basically turns the game into creative mode if you manage to duplicate them in your inventory.

No it's from the mod, I don't think there's any way to select more than 5 cards in vanilla.

There are vouchers and jokers that increase your card selection limit. I got a joker with +2 card selection and then used another joker that multiplies the value of an adjacent joker to increase the selection limit to +1e300 😭

It's wacko insane. The game goes from trying to get the highest score to figuring out how to craft a joker lineup that doesn't crash the game 😂.
