I'm working towards Completionist++, playing Yellow Deck most of the time. Usually I focus on setting up a winning build first and then pick up a joker or two missing the gold sticker towards the end.

This run, I got an eternal Vagabond (with the white sticker) in the first shop and decided to YOLO it. Built my whole run around spending all my money to max out the tarot cards. Getting Constellation early on was a big help, since it gave me a reason to use High Priestess. Eventually, I managed to build towards flush five with kings of hearts. (The first boss was the hearts debuff, so I knew it wouldn't come back.)

I thought it was an interesting run, since it's the only time I've really leaned into Vagabond.

How's that green joker treating you?

Green card was +46 at the end. My favorite part about it is that it discourages discarding, but doesn't prevent it.

Towards the end, I definitely discarded a few times to get the flush five, but at that point, the difference between +41 and +42 doesn't matter.
