Erratic Deck - Gold Stake - Majority Hearts + face card Hearts
This seed was unique in that all the major components for a Bloodstone Hearts strategy fell into place without much rerolling in the shops at all. In fact I think all of the different important Jokers appeared in shops without rerolling.
An eternal Oops! All 6s appeared in the very first shop. I hoped for a Bloodstone strategy given how this Erratic Deck run had so many Hearts. An eternal negative Smiley Face soon after allowed for more breathing room while searching for Bloodstone. A somewhat early Standard Pack had a polychrome Jack of Hearts to add to the strategy. Then Lusty Joker appeared to give extra scoring +Mult, which was necessary to survive a few blinds while wating for Bloodstone.
I then found a rental Blueprint, and soon after found eternal Bloodstone. From that point on, the road to an Ante 8 win was guaranteed by so many hearts, face card hearts, and guaranteed Bloodstone double triggers for Flush hands. There was also an eternal Hanging Chad and a Lucky Cat to be found before Ante 8, which had good synergy with Oops! All 6s.
After Ante 8 the most interesting card pickup was an eternal rental Photograph, given the wealth of face card Hearts synergies. I played around with Hanging Chad and lucky cards to mine for $20 triggers, but otherwise didn't push this seed to the absolute min/max limit once I beat Ante 8.
