Theme: High Card upgrades, Ectoplam Negatives & Hand Size, Clubs, Queens
-Seed: 1IQ452Q7
-Played on Ghost Deck, Red Stake
-Ante 1 skip for Rare Tag offered a free Burnt Joker, used Hex card to Polychrome it
-Found Gluttonous Joker & Shoot the Moon early.
-Negative Abstract Joker found naturally in shop early-mid-game.
-Hanging Chad and Throwback found mid-game.
-Double Tag on Ethereal Card Tag and Spectral Packs in shops lead to 3x Ectoplasm Spectral Cards being found during run. 2x during early-mid-game and 1x late-game.
-Hand size 5 during most powerful section of the mid-game, pushed my luck with 3rd Ectoplam to reach Hand Size 2 during Ante 8.
-Onyx Agate found mid-game to synergize with Gluttonous Joker.
-Blueprint then DNA found mid-late-game, Sock and Buskin found late game.
Strategy:
-Burnt Joker used from Ante 1 to level up High Card on as many early rounds as possible.
-Focused on playing High Card Clubs and holding Queen of Clubs with Gluttonous Joker and Shoot The Moon when hand size was still 5 and above.
-Natural shop find of Negative Abstract Joker gave free Mult as Joker roster expanded.
-1st Ectoplasm rolled on Gluttonous Joker, not optimal but allowed more jokers.
-Struck a balance with leveling High Card and boosting Throwback during mid-game.
-Hanging Chad assisted the High Card hands, got a lucky 2nd Ectoplasm roll to make it negative.
-Brainstorm found, then DNA soon after. Required shuffling Burnt Joker, DNA and Hanging Chad on the left side of the roster to work with Brainstorm.
-At certain points added in Onyx Agate and removed Shoot The Moon to retool strategy as hand size reduced more and more. Final roster ended up with a Polychrome Crafty Joker in
that slot, probably was a misplay.
-Blundered by missing a few Burnt Joker + Brainstorm and DNA + Brainstorm plays through inattention.
-Using DNA + Brainstorm to 2x clone Glass Queen of Clubs or similar would have possibly extended the run for at least one or two more Antes.
-Hand Size 2,lol
