Starting Contents
It contains the usual 52 cards that a normal deck of cards includes: four suits each with 13 cards (2 to 10 Jack Queen King and Ace).
Poker Hands
With one less hand youre significantly more likely to die. Additionally you make -$1 dollar per ante which can add up surprisingly fast. This is almost certainly the worst deck in the game but the extra joker slot gives it one of the highest ceilings.
Building around 5 card hands can be difficult as you have one less hand to dig for it. However small hands (such as high card) can be even worse as you can only play 3 per ante.
Recommended Jokers
As the Black deck you should be more willing to take temporary strength such as Popcorn in order to stay alive.
- Gros Michel (as its easier to hold for a long time in order to evolve into Cavendish
- Swashbuckler and Abstract Joker give easy flat mult
- Riff-Raff has extra slots to provide jokers
- Joker Stencil gives 6x instead of 5x
- Baseball Card can trigger off of more uncommon jokers
- Campfire is easier to sell jokers for
- Burglar doubles the amount of hands you can play
- Gift Card increases the cell value of even more jokers
- Diet Cola is more likely to have an open slot in order to buy it
- Acrobat because of the lowered amount of hands Acrobat takes less hands to trigger.
- Ceremonial Dagger appreciates the extra Joker slot as one can still have five Jokers while scaling Dagger.
- Blueprint and Brainstorm could be efficient to duplicate a synergy to avoid to hunt for specific jokers all the game moving jokers also allow to switch the synergy. Invisible Joker is sadly worse than normal because its more likely to copy something bad. Also consider Showman but you waste a slot until you have what you wish for.
