Abandoned Deck, Orange Stake

Man, this deck is a pain in my rear. Nothing surprising here. Ecto'd the Constellation, and Wheels hit Swashbuckler and Rocket. I made about 8 Aces and a dozen Tens. Constellation came late, but it's up to 3.9. The Rocket came early, so it made sure I always had enough money to roll for planets. Oh, and I took a skip on the very first Small Blind. I forget what the tag is called, but it was the one that gives you $25 when you beat the boss. Worked out great.

Nebula Deck, Orange Stake

This was actually kind of a fun run. The Erosion is nat Polychrome, the Gluttonous Joker is Wheel Polychrome. In fact, basically everything here is a Wheel hit.

Of special note, but not depicted, was a nat Negative Clever Joker that showed up in a pack in Ante 7. Which very neatly helped me circumvent the Ante 8 Boss Verdant Leaf (all cards debuffed until a Joker is sold). Sometimes the stars align and RNGesus smiles upon you.

Also, Nebula Deck. My flushes are like... level 12 or something.

Black Deck, Orange Stake

This was a fun run! Burglar super early. Green Joker basically right after. Spare Trousers came after Hologram. I wasn't sure I wanted it, but I just needed ANY mult that scaled faster than Green.

Hologram is up to 4.25. Ramen only took a hit when a boss forced me to discard, so it's at 1.94. Business card was basically the only econ I managed to pick up at all. Not great, but it obviously did the job. I'm at $5 in the screenshot, but that's because I rolled down in Ante 8. I didn't have too much trouble staying over $20 during the run.

Green Deck, Orange Stake

Riff-raff gave me a Photograph early, and a bunch of other stuff I sold to get the Bloodstone and the Hanging Chad. I had Golden Joke and Mail-In Rebate for several antes, which made me HIGHLY dependent on Bloodstone hits to live. But I managed to get my Flushes up to 10, and get some Lucky Cards in the mix. The deck ended at 55, but I only had ... I think 16 non hearts in the deck.

I dunno, nothing special here. But Sock and Buskin plus Ballot is just always a fun mix. And I sold Mail-In Rebate in Ante 7 for the Seltzer. More triggers make Bloodstone go brrr!

9 mil in the last hand, but 18 mil was my top score. Scores are so swingy when you have Bloodstone. I actually spent a significant part of the run looking for Oops! All 6s!, and then settled for retriggers instead.

One last stake for this deck, and then I move on to more fun options.
