A Golden Joker is available on the first shop, and a Walkie Talkie soon after. A Trading Card appears soon after that. And a Spectral Pack with a Cryptid to add extra 10s for an early edge.

As I worked to prune the deck down to favor 10s, some Standard Packs offered Purple Seals and Blue Seals. The run got up to full speed when I found a Polychrome 9 in a Standard Pack. Eventually a Strength Tarot upgraded the Polychrome 9 into a Polychrome 10, and after finding a Hanging Chad the strategy was to search for Five-Of-A-Kind then run the Polychrome 10 as the first card for X1.5+X1.5+X1.5.

An eternal Hiker appeared and my favorite 10 cards got up to +200 chips by Ante 9. The run was powerful enough to clear Ante 8 on its own due to the Blue Seals getting planet cards for Five-Of-A-Kind. But some Death Tarot cards duplicated the Polychrome 10s several times. And a Constellation card reached X4.5.

The only dangerous part of the run was an upcoming The Pillar boss blind during one of the middle Antes, which might have disabled the Polychrome 10 crucial to the strategy. There was already a Boss Reroll voucher available that same Ante, so keeping enough funds for a Boss Reroll is important for this seed. The rest of the boss blinds were super easy.
