What deck did you win gold stakes on?

[SpaceCat]

And why did you use it?

I'm trying on ghost right now, but plasma feels like it might be easier (still need to level it up to gold stakes).

I did it on checkered. By far the easiest deck in the game imo since you can pretty much play a flush every single hand for the entire game with little risk. Still took like 3 or 4 tries to do gold on it though

Also checkered, for the same reasons as above, it's just too easy to flush your way to a victory, I actually beat gold stake on my first try (the one before took longer) but now trying it with other decks it is ROUGH.

Blue Deck its the easiest of the decks that are playing with normalish rules (IMO)

[Gumbo Ya-Ya]

I did it on ghost because starting with a polychrome makes basically any uncommon joker into a powerful keeper for the entire run, and because spectral cards in the shop means you can play them mid round which is extremely difficult to do normally for spectral cards and makes them much much more powerful

I've tried many options, and just won with a high card, pair, double pair build on blue deck.
Getting lower hand size AND 2 dumps of cards makes construction of your hand too unreliable.

Here's how I proceed generally speaking on higher stakes :
find some early game joker (via skipping or shop) to carry me ez without too much chance of losing (so no "four of a kind" joker), then build up economy up to ante 6 where i'm starting to slow roll / hard roll depending on my jokers quality.

None. I haven't managed to win a run outside of white. And that only 3 decks so far.

Anaglyph. Using the double tags wisely really helps a lot. Doing challenges now, and then will try for the Plasma Deck on gold.

[TragSifarin]

Magic Deck. the extra fools help a lot.
