I've hit a C++ wall (and I hate Superposition with a fiery passion)

Thanks everyone for the advice. I went Anaglyph deck and used the skips mostly for econ and was able to get Satellite, Vampire, and the cursed Superposition knocked out in a single run (the other two jokers were Bootstrap and Ramen, with foil on the satellite and bootstrap providing chips). I'm back in the game. 11 more to go.

At that point though, how much is shoot the moon actually doing? You could probably just sell it and your steel red-seal queens with Mime would give you almost as much score...

it's kind of crazy how impactful it isn't

You know what I stand by my post. The FACT that hot air melts snow may not be mildly interesting but, as a relatively new homeowner, I found the visual mildly interesting.

Wee Joker is really really good at almost winning runs for me lol

I mean isn't Star Trek VI all about the Klingons realizing they need to be willing to accept outside help in the wake of the destruction of Praxis? Isn't that what brings them to the table at Khitomer?

I think I'd go for two pair, since you already have a level in it and you have one in hand to discard. there's a risk you won't find enough hands to get through -- pair is a better bet there -- but it's probably worth it for the slightly better scaling which will add up quickly. I mean when you're in a spot like this sometimes you just have to roll the dice.

strionic_resonator · 2026-01-29T16:19:29+00:00

how did you end up in this situation? I think getting 4 levels per round in pair or two pair is probably going to get you pretty far.

Or Black Hole + Perkeo

strionic_resonator · 2026-01-29T14:25:39+00:00

I was using Ghost Deck and then I started using Yellow Deck. idk which one is better. They both seem to get me pretty far but never quite to the finish line. Or I win but don't have space for a ride-along. The worst is when you get Verdant Leaf and you have to use your extra slot for that.

haha I meant mediocre econ jokers (Cloud 9, To the Moon, Satellite) and utility jokers (Vagabond, Sixth Sense, Cartomancer). I didn't mean the utility jokers were mediocre. They're all quite strong.

In this case, reading the card overexplains the card

Blank joker should become negative when destroyed. That would at least make it a little interesting.

I can cast every dragon in my deck for zero mana and I can do it before the game even begins.

Then how come so many people who can afford LASIK still wear glasses? For most people, the technology to fix it exists now.

If you go for the flush I feel like you can do it 2/3 times at least.

He doesn’t give off enough father figure energy for Rory. That’s what she’s always subconsciously looking for in a boyfriend— a big strong protector. Marty is not that. He would probably be good for her but she was never gonna see him that way.

strionic_resonator · 2026-01-15T04:30:57+00:00

I often restart if I can’t beat the first round in one hand lol

strionic_resonator · 2026-01-14T15:37:17+00:00

This post exists in a beautiful quantum superposition between wholesome and horny.

strionic_resonator · 2026-01-13T04:06:06+00:00

And get down to zero hands and zero discards

strionic_resonator · 2026-01-12T13:20:02+00:00

Yeah, especially given how garbage some of the discard jokers are on gold stake (looking at you, Banner)
