Ever get the feeling that you have a winning seed?

[Tommy]

Because at this moment, I sure do. I got a Brainstorm Ante 1, hit it with Ectoplasm Ante 2 (1 in 3 chance), and now, prior to boss Ante 3, I got a Blueprint. I'm not trying to be too excited, becuas the game will sense that, but I think the game wants me to win this one. Combo'd both with Swashbuckler for now.
I also got a polychrome To The Moon from skipping Ante1 Blind 1

Whenever the game gives me Blueprint or Brainstorm I know it wants me to win.

It's trying to lull you into a false sense of security so you make that one dumb mistake that loses the run

Almost made a mistake. got a second ectoplasm, was an inch from taking it, but i did the close game trick after it went for the Fortune Teller. I also realized I wouldnt be able to handle the -3 total hand size.

Seed is 1T93GG9E if anyone wants to see if I'd win

Just got past the wall with a 540,000 hand, yep it's an easy seed so far!

Blueprint/DNA - 13 lucky 10s & 8 Aces in ante 5.

Just got Mime & Baron so adding Kings now

Also running the Trio and negative Acrobat

Started out with polychrome To The Moon and polychrome Hallucination

Leveling up FH / 4 / Flush 5

IIRC, I was running it on the Black deck, my deck building skills need work.
I enver saw DNA in my run. Would have taken it if i did

Posting the seed can be fun, to let others try it.
Usually when posting a seed, people add what deck and what stake they were playing. Just so, you know, we're comparing apples with apples. A white stake run with the blue deck is very different than purple stake with black deck. ;)

I didn't realise the seed doesn't include the deck & stake

Got to ante 12, ghost deck white stake

Short on chips at the end, loads of Xmult

This, so hard.

[fortydayweekend]

I like the runs where you're only just ahead of the curve and have to think carefully, much more satisfying to get to ante 9 than when an easy plan falls into place early and you only get tested at 11 or 12

Tried it, legendary joker with x9 multiplier + blueprint on top of x4 something from the planet joker was kind of fun. Didn't clear ante 12 though.

I have these kind of runs, but they are so rare and few, that I spend like 99% of my time with mediocre runs that are not necessarily boring but compared to how fun the game can be (at times), it's nothing.

Aren't the most boring runs those where you know you're going to win way before Ante 8? I mean what's there to be excited about?

I think the most exciting runs are those where you really have fight for survival all the way to the end but still manage to win. Also runs where you're forced to change your strategy to survive. Transitions are tricky to pull off.
