    The Checkered Deck is unlocked by clearing the Black Deck, not stake.

    I have what might be a fun idea for content: Asking viewers to submit videos of their full games (especially newer players). You could make a video series going through a game and critiquing their choices, suggesting what might be a better play in each situation, etc. If you want to keep with the university theme, you could even give them a letter grade at the end too!
    I know I would definitely love to watch that and it would be pretty informative on what to do in situations you might not end up in as often with more optimal play.

    For a future video, I'd really like to know more about how to build for super high scoring hands in unseeded runs for endless mode, I've been really struggling with getting the 100 million chips in a single hand to unlock stuntman, and in a wider scope I find Ante 12 feels like a complete brick wall even on runs that were going well up to that point, so something that helps in that regard would be greatly appreciated.

    Loving this series. I think the next lessons should be about the different decks and how they change your strategy (like how do you manage money when you don't have interest with the green deck? how do you make good use of the free telescope from the nebula deck? etc.) and then after that (or maybe alternating?) some videos about the different Stakes levels would be useful.
    Edit: Ooh or maybe some guides to unlocking the harder jokers and vouchers, like 100,000,000 points, $400, Hand Size 5, etc.

    • @LoraLoibu
      @LoraLoibu 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Green Deck encourages spending your money more, due to the lack of interest, also makes the hand/discard vouchers very valuable, due to them giving you more potential money per round. Probably makes Vagabond and Credit Card not _terrible_ pickups

      Tbh the way I beat checkered in gold (my first and only gold clear) was by using straights, which are already stronger than flushes which is important because of how many chips you need at higher stakes as well utilizing the ability to lean into straight flushes once you have enough tarot to convert to mostly one suit. Combine that with some straight jokers and some suit jokers for mult, chips, and xmult and you are set. Flushes just never scaled enough for me past ante 6 or 7 on gold stake

    Again, I want a Joker tier list. Jokers are so confusing to me. I have so many questions that would be solved by you doing some sort of video just about giving all the Jokers a concise rating. Which is better, Dusk or Acrobat? They come off like the same card. Is Yorick the worst Legendary Joker? These are just two examples. If you can't do a video focused on just the Jokers, maybe recommend someone else who has done such a thing?

    • @kenallsop7502
      @kenallsop7502 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Jokers can be quite situational. Playing at low stake vs high stake changes your approach, and going for high scores is very different from beating ante 8 consistently.
      It also comes down a lot to what your deck is doing. In the case of Dusk/Acrobat, retriggering is really good if you have a lot of on-card effects that you're playing (either jokers that give bonuses when cards are played, or editions like polychrome). Acrobat is a straight mult multiplier so in the average case it's going to be better because retriggering standard cards doesn't add mult. Even with enhancements, Dusk will effectively double your Mult card from +4 to +8, whereas Acrobat triples it to +12.

    • @kenallsop7502
      @kenallsop7502 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      As for a general tier list, I liked Roffle's a lot but it's for gold stake, so in some cases the strats for lower stakes will be different.
