Working on getting all my gold stakes, and am struggling with plasma much more than expected- having to either get a great combo of chips jokers or pull off a switch from chips to xmult mid run is a tall order. At least right now, it's joining Black Deck on my shitlist. Favorites include Anaglyph (econ go brrr), and erratic deck for flushes (yes, I reset until I get a good pull).

What about y'all?

Hate Black Deck. It’s not even a good trade-off. An extra hand is worth more than an extra joker slot in my opinion. You don’t even need jokers to win. You have to play hands. This is a deck I take only because I want the extra difficulty, not because it’s better in any way or even more fun.

Favorite is Yellow Deck. Getting your economy up and running is priceless. That’s worth like an Ante. It puts you so far ahead and gives you early options.

Glyph and zodiac honorable mention. Interesting mechanics. Interesting mechanics.

I don’t like the erratic deck that much because restarting to get the deck I want feels cheesy. No judgment. It’s just a game. But I prefer to play the game as is whenever I start.

I used to favor green deck over yellow but it definitely helps get things off the ground at higher stakes. Fair take on erratic deck- rerolling is super cheesy, but sometimes I'm in a cheesy mood with roguelikes. Definitely depends
