Oh man, I did it. 100m!
Anaglyph Deck for the win. I was having no luck with Plasma so decided to play on Anaglyph just for fun, but I had a great run and everything went my way...
Ancient Joker showed up in an early Buffoon Pack (I
almost chose Space Joker instead!) so I decided to build my run around it. I got Merry Andy shortly after, meaning I was able to use enough Discards every round to basically guarantee a flush for whichever suit the Ancient Joker demanded. Jupiter cards kept showing up in the shop with really helpful regularity, and the fact I was winning every round with one hand meant I was building up a decent wedge of cash (with the vouchers to earn interest helping on that front).
Not too long after, I got Hologram, so started adding cards to my deck to up that Mult (always ensuring I kept the number of cards for each suit in my deck consistent, so as to ensure Ancient Joker would always be viable), and Gros Michel. Bull rounded out my Joker set, but I was really hoping for a Negative tag, to use up my Double Tags. Eventually, I got one... and it gave me a load of rubbish
Runner was in there (I've not played a single straight this run) as was Delayed Gratification, and Banner, both of which rely on not using Discards.
But this 'unlucky' turn was an outlier for the run. Smeared Joker showed up
meaning I could ditch Merry Andy, as a larger hand was now far more viable for Flushes than additional discards. Gros Michel went extinct, then Cavendish showed up in the very next shop. My Flush was a high enough level that I no longer needed Bull, so Ramen came in. The cards I'd gotten through Booster Packs had added lots of Steel Cards and Purple Seals (which generated some fortunate Tarots that allowed me to add more Steel Cards).
And then came the coup de grace... another Negative tag! This time, the duplicates gave me: Walkie Talkie, Hallucination (as I was buying every booster, this gave me even more Tarots, and even more Steels as a result) and most critically, Hack. Meaning now, every five-card Flush that would trigger Ancient Joker five times, could potentially trigger it ten if I played 2s, 3s, 4s or 5s. WT also gave +4 mult for any played 10 or 4 (and as I had Smeared Joker, I only needed to play a Red Hand or a Black Hand) so I was putting one of those first, then as many low cards as possible, and discarding / playing unwanted cards tactically to try and ensure my held hand was full of Steel Cards.
I'll try and upload the clip when I get chance, but when it finally played out, it was a thing of beauty. Didn't even use WT on the actual winning hand; I had a Holographic (+10 Mult) Jack with a Red Seal, so played that as my first card, then a full set of low cards to prompt the Hack retrigger. Pure jump-out-of-my-seat, fists pumping the air moment.
