Green deck problems

[Twerky]

Am I the only one struggling with the green deck? I've won with most of the decks I've unlocked so far, and most of them took at least 2-3 runs to beat. I've lost more runs with green deck than I have total runs on every other deck combined, I'm not even joking.

Am I missing something with the green deck? I'm not struggling with the money it gives, but after a certain point, my jokers and cards just become "bad" and I become extremely unlucky with my hand rolls where I almost never get suits or cards that I want.

The green deck just wants you to play more consistent hand-types so that you aren't fishing for better hands as much as you might with other decks to gain as much money as possible from it.

Basically, once you get to a point where your first played hand (even counting discards) beats the bosses ante, you are making more per turn than your normal interest type deck (unless that deck has the +interest voucher).

Plus, you get the freedom of purchasing things you want at lower money amounts as you see them in the store... because you aren't beholden to interest. If you see a good voucher early, you can feel better picking it up with a green deck than other decks.

If you aren't struggling with the money it gives, then it's really no different than any other deck... you just haven't had a good run with Jokers you want then. There is no luck factor to it.

Green deck helped me get my first win. I bought shop cards that gave me extra play hands and hand size and then I would spam by planet cards to buff straights, flushes, and two pairs.

I'm really struggling with green deck too now. 10 tries with it and no win yet. Even when I started playing I didn't need to play any previous deck this many times to get a win.

You mostly just have to realize that saving money is useless now - so spend, spend, spend. The stronger you are the more money you get each round, buying vouchers or jokers that give more hands or discards are your new econ options, and some jokers change value entirely.
Vagabond is absolutely amazing on this deck if you happen to get it, Burglar is pretty dang great. Delayed Gratification can be pretty good if you're ahead of the curve already. (Of course I'd consider all of those "economy" so don't go making them your whole deck.)
Meanwhile something like Ride the Bus becomes worth a bunch less, since it effectively costs $2 for every +1 mult. Ceremonial Dagger is probably better here than on any other deck. You really need to re-contextualize everything, break some habits you probably built up.

With this deck you are supposed to finish a blind in 1 or 2 hands with 1 or 2 discards used to earn enough money for the next shop..
Since you don't earn interest, you don't need to hold it, you can spend immediately what you have without worrying.

Understand when to use the Jokers with +chips, +Mult and xMult Jokers, use the enhanced cards well (glass / steel cards and red seal are your friends) and upgrade your most played hands with celestial packs.

The deck is like all the others if you don't have any problem with money.
Jokers are the most important part and you just had a bad Rng. Try again, this will work once.

If you still struggle, then i can only call the all-mighty "Skill issue" (I hope not)
