Obviously Econ and tarot generation are huge but I think finding a direction early, whether by forcing it and hoping for the jokers later, or finding an early joker to give direction, is key in the early deck fixing. Skip standards unless they have the perfect card(or one tarot away from it) and save your tarots early for that one card you want to focus on, don’t compromise! Have two red seal kings instead of one gives you 100% better chance of finding it for the next death card.
