      Wait what does high card have going for it?

      When I won it was with flushes, I think. And that joker that was like “you win if you have 25% of the chips you need”

        if you only play one card, you can hold more steel/gold/blue seal cards in your hand

        this doesn’t matter much for winning normal runs, but if you happen to get jokers that buff steel cards (i.e. Mime and Baron), copy said jokers, find ways to increase your hand size, and make every card in your deck the same card, you can get absurdly high scores and get really far into endless mode

        my current high score is 6.817x10^98, which I got with a really good high card plasma deck run

        again though, you do need to find exactly the right jokers for this, so building around any other hand type is almost always more reliable for winning ante 8

        High Card is really good because or retriggers, among other things. It’s one of the most reliable builds

    Jesus, why would a game creator have such a hard time on white stake, especially after several months? Getting to Ante 8 on white stake is fairly easy.
