What is the best deck (In your opinion)
I think the green deck and the black deck have a lot of potential, but as the strategies on how to use each one develop, this will probably change, thoughts?

I like the yellow deck as it gives you a good headstart.

edit: I haven't unlocked all decks yet though

The checkered deck seems super OP to me, using it to climb to Gold Chip 1st. Just got to watch out for the bosses that kill single color strats

Ghost Deck is my favorite. Spectral cards in the shop is super cool.

Anaglyph deck and Ghost deck are really strong, have high potential for most runs. So in general, probably one of those two.
Abandoned deck can make some strategies amazing, but is more reliant on specific jokers.

I haven't unlocked it myself yet, so I'm not sure how it works, but Plasma deck sounds like it could be ridiculously strong. Depends on when it performs its feature, before or after xMult jokers.

It performs it after sadly, so no completely cheesing the score with chip cards and xMult.

Eh, I was more afraid about it doing it before every joker. Sure, you could get a bigger base mult to multiply by using chips, but it'd then lower the mult you're multiplying after every multiplication. I'm pretty sure you would end up with less high numbers that way.
If it just works at the end it's ridiculously strong - the biggest result of multiplying two numbers if they have to add up to a certain number is always to get them as close as possible. That's why it doubles the required score of course.

Are we counting challenge decks? "Mad world" is pretty crazy.
Checkered Deck + Flush build = chill gameplay.
plasma seems like by far the strongest deck

I really like green deck simply because I find the interest mechanic boring

Checkered deck is super easy to play. I don't think it's the strongest but it's very chill because it removes a lot of difficult decisions. You don't even have to upgrade/change the deck that much just a few steel cards when they come by. If your jokers push you to one color (Arrowhead is STRONG) you can start removing/converting the other (and steeling those cards).
It's not the strongest as in "biggest numbers" but in the "harder to lose with" sense, at least to me.
On the other hand, black deck seemed OP to me at first but 1 less hand is really crippling you have to scale fast there is little room for error.
I still have a lot of decks to try (more).
