Black hole question

[maDEMOman]

can you only find them in celestial packs?
If so it makes them even more rare then legendary jokers. and more underwhelming in that case.

Celestial and Spectral packs, but yeah they're pretty damn useless for how rare they are.

I mean I'll never turn down a black hole. I've never seen a black hole drop and said "oh damn it." Getting one early would be pretty amazing for early antes before you've really set anything up

far from useless tho, since they mean that one pack you opened is now as good as like... 9. it might seem underwhelming if you are very dedicated to one specific hand type, but that can really screw you over, so being able to build multiple hand types without having to spend the money or get lucky with packs is actually really good.

the only time i've ever not been happy to see a black hole was when i was using the joker that gets better per planet card used, for which the black hole does not count. and still, i just didn't choose it, so it wasn't like it hurt me in any way.

Constellation and Satellite both don't benefit from Black Hole, so I'd still take a normal Planet card.

Not 9, like 3 maybe if you get it early game, 1 if you get it once you've got your build down. You generally won't be playing every type of hand. Not that it's bad, a level you can use is better than a level you can't after all.

if you find one in early game, where it's better not to be nailed to a certain kind of hand, it's very helpful

and in late game, no you won't be using every hand, but several boss blinds are intentionally designed to shut down people who put all their eggs in one basket focusing on one hand, so ideally there are multiple hands you can use that will benefit from it. two, maybe three hands depending on your build
