    Can you beat the Jokerless Challenge with High Card? Can you do it without the overpowered Blue Seal?

    Great run ! I'm wondering, would a polychrome stone card be better or did we need the holographic for the early game too much ? Especially with red seals on a steel card on top I feel like with a few plutonium it could have scaled better ? Maybe it's just overkill and holographic made it more interesting. Either way awesome run !

    • @drspectred
      @drspectred  Місяць тому +16

      Polychrome would be better long term, and maybe "good enough" in the short term because you don't need that much in the early rounds and can still float by on other Hands, like we did with Straights.

      i think yes but you need to buy and sell so many jokers that rerolling for like a blueprint just for it to be perishable would make it so much harder, and you'd need even more things to go right. although im sure the doc would just need to cook for a few days

    So would you say playing jokerless is a good way to practice judicious use of card enhancements? I ask because I feel I underuse them most of the time, and it's probably cost me a victory more than once.

  • @dukeoflemonade

    Im a little confused, does the title not insinuate that the only played hands would be high cards for this run? Maybe i missed something in the video explaining this.

  • @patum3588
    @patum3588 Місяць тому +2

    I wonder if its possible to beat, with playing ONLY high card.
    To achive that, you would need 2 arcana packs from skipping in the row, get from them this +4 mult (forgot a name) 1 or 2 stone card, and 1 or 2 steel cards. Then you want to draw mult card, with a stone and steel card, play mult with stone card.
    After that you need a good luck with good playing card in shop.
    Also, after some calculations, I can say, that beating ante 1,by playing only 1 card at the time, is theoreticly possible. You would need to +mult to 4 face cards, and get 2 steel ones, then you need to play all mult cards buffed with steel ones.
    Edit. You dont really need a steel card, but without it, you would need to draw all mult cards and stone cards
    Edit 2. Forgot about lucky cards... With that, you can easli do that. Also, its possible, to beat jokerless with playing only 1 card per round but it would be extremly hard. (meaby 1 card per ante even???)
