Best deck to get five flush?

[GDJ]

I have so much time in this game, all decks unlocked, etc. Somehow still don’t have the five flush planet unlocked. What’s the best deck to set up a five flush?

Thanks in advance, friends.

you'd think maybe checkered deck as it is already built for flushes, but IMO this is actually accomplished with tarot / spectral cards, so magic deck, ghost deck, or zodiac deck. as these are inclined toward lots of deck manipulation.

let's say we focus on aces with the magic deck for example. you want to look for a death card, where you then use the 2 fool cards, allowing you to duplicate an ace 3 times, giving 4 of the same card in your deck (let's say it's the ace of diamonds). keep going for tarot cards like so:
- 'death' to keep creating more ace of diamonds
- 'hangman' to thin your deck and increase likelihood of drawing ace of diamonds
- 'the star' to convert the other aces in your deck to diamonds
- 'strength' to convert your kings into aces
- 'fool' to repeat any of the above
- 'emperor' to try and spawn any of these cards

along with this, opening standard booster packs to try and get more aces. ideally they would be diamonds in my example, but I'd still take other suits as I can try and change their suit later.

Spectral packs can also help with this, 'cryptid' giving 2x of a card for example, or if you are early in the game and have yet to choose a card rank, the spectral that converts a bunch of cards to the same rank (I think this is Ouija but not 100% sure)

edit - you could also try the Erratic deck, looking for a deck with say 9 of the same rank of card. then you just need to convert the suits with some tarot cards. i haven't used this deck much but i'm sure this would also work.

Flush Five is mostly deck-agnostic, more of a "if you get enough of a card, change them to one suit" thing, but if you really want to force it I'd guess Magic Deck. Any death card you get can be turned into 3 death cards, so you can turn 3 cards into the same rank and suit and only need one of the suit changing or wild card tarots to get a 5th.
Other options are Ghost Deck (a single Ouija will almost always get you to a deck capable of Flush Five), Checkered Deck makes it a tiny bit easier, and Erratic Deck can start you off with a lot of the same suit/rank right away though you'd be holding R a lot to get such a deck.

Great advice, thank you!

The easiest way imo is to get lucky and get the "DNA"-joker. Yellow Deck always has enough money from the start to even buy it, if it happens to on sale on Ante 1 and ends up being a Holo/Foil/Poly/Neg. It's a rare joker though, but unlocked from the start. If the first hand played in a round is only a single card, you get a permanent copy into your hand immediately. This is also one of the jokers, that can help get you past ante 12 and really make things go crazy (copy lots of glass or steel cards, have multi triggers, like the Mime-joker, profit).

played a bit to try going for flush five with magic deck, it took 2 tries (made a massive misplay early in the 1st attempt).

I didn't find a death card early like I'd hoped, instead I started by using strength to convert 2 kings to aces. I got a Negative Hallucination which then spawned the lovers tarot (wild card), and i decided to see if I could use wild cards to accomplish this. converted 1 ace to wild, then used my 2 fool tarot to convert 2 more aces to wild. used standard packs to add more aces and played my first flush five by around beginning of ante 4, continued using the lovers, death, hanged man, etc to keep creating more wild aces.

I found some really good synergy with using lots of wild cards that I've never done before. Ancient Joker triggering on every wild ace, and Bloodstone triggers from the wild aces as well, ended up working out extremely well. wild cards definitely have more utility than I thought.

So I just got it. 3rd try on Ghost deck. At the end of ante 3, I had 7(!) six of hearts, haha.

Very cool!

Just clear Green Stake with Abandoned Deck, Flush Five build
Abandoned is good as you already got a smaller deck, easier to rework
Ended up with like 22 * 10 of spades & a few other junk spades
Spamming Tarot cards is the way absolutely
Recolor / replace / upgrades your 9s & 8s to 10s
Joker wise be on the lookout for Trading Card / DNA

Yeah the other thing that helps is having waaay more copies than you need. I think I didn't manage it until I had around 10 copies of a single rank.

[GDJ]

Tarot cards were definitely the way to go for me. I could have ended up with so many six of hearts, but once I had 6+ and unlocked the joker, I quit because I’m at work haha.

didn't think about the advantage of having the smaller deck with Abandoned, but that definitely makes sense. much easier to draw what you're looking for, I guess.
