another thing to add to this personal yet public conversation with myself, rental jokers are a pain early game especially if you don't have passive econ or gold cards. Always remember to only discard when necessary and go for mid to high flushes or other hands in the early game

One thing to note for myself: checkered deck is really easy but if you gonna go from white to gold you gotta be really careful with your decisions cause the easiest deck can sometimes be a nightmare. (i'm just bad at this)

Synergies: wrathful joker + arrowhead is good especially when you get either a foil or even an polychrome on it. Blueprint + ballot + photochad is also a good synergy, stencil joker can be added but negative jokers are unreliable and skipping blinds tend to give you the bad jokers. If building on a heart suit, lusty joker and bloodstone is good but you'll also need ballot, and the dice joker cause the odds are not that great. Then again, even with the dice you're still not guaranteed the 1.5x mult. The family and sharp hand is also good for late game, glass cards are mainly go to but gold cards are also utilized to build your economy, always keep in mind your interests and look at your blinds ahead, especially the countless needle victims.
