Do you guys go for mults with the plasma deck?
It seemed obvious to me that the strategy was to go for chip cards with the plasma deck since they gave you higher numbers. But I also remember I got some pretty high mults when playing other decks so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Yes, my strategy is basically chip cards and not relying on mults as much.

I haven't won a single game with green stake with plasma deck yet somaybe my strategy is flawed.

I also wanna mention I didn't find the deck very fun as it seemed more limiting than playing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ purple stake on other decks (lol).

The answers I got when I asked were "go for Chips in the early game and transition to high mult later on", and that's been working out nicely for me. Hopefully it'll do the trick for you, too.

Chips are great early for it, since it's a lot easier to get flat chips vs flat multi.

However, later on, once you have lots of multipliers to multi itself, multi can get to obscene levels. For example, Steel cards and any Polychrome cards (especially if they have a Red Seal) and a bunch of the Jokers with multipliers can altogether cause Multi to vastly outpace Chips.

This actually makes Plasma Deck one of the most interesting since it has to transition from a chips-focused build (since trying to go for multi right away won't keep up with the higher blind values) to a mult-focused one once you have the means to do so. So you really want to get an early chip card that can carry you for a while where you can stockpile money and pick up components of a multi engine and transition over completely when your multi can end up going reliably above your chips.
