Everything may have 2 instances instead of 1

So, you can have Polychrome Negative Joker or Stone Glass Foil Polychrome Red Seal Gold Seal card

As challenge, required score would be higher i guess, don’t sure if it work for a deck

#

would red seal gold seal mean the gold seal is triggered 2x

#

also i do love me my Polychrome Polychrome Red Seal Red Seal Glass Glass King of Hearts

#

possibly better than plasma

Plasma squares your score.

This (on an idol build) would be effectively 1 extra retrigger and for each trigger an extra x2 from the extra glass and x1.5 from the poly. So playing with sock, idol, and 4 copiers and playing flush 5s would be (2^3 * 2^2 * 1.5^2)^(5*5) = 2.7e46

vs (2^3 * 2 * 1.5)^(4 * 5 * 2) = 1.6e55 for plasma

Hard to beat squaring.

#

That being said this doesn't take into account chips in the mod deck, which might buy you 3 or 4 orders of magnitude, but that's still not enough to cover the 9 orders difference

so for 1 red seal polychrome glass king of hearts with bloodstone and oops on plasma thats ((1.5x1.5x2)^2)^2 = 410 vs poly poly red red glass glass king of hearts with bloodstone and oops is ((1.5x1.5x2x2)^2)^2) which is 33215

#

the ^2s are for the red seals

#

ok my math is a little wrong

#

well plasma is correct

#

the other one is (1.5x1.5x2x2)^3
