Spare Trousers - Possible Best Joker?

[Anzac-A1]

I think Spare Trousers might be the best Joker in the game. Two Pair is such an easy hand to get. By Round 15, I've gotten this thing to a +44 Multi. Combined with my other Jokers, I'm now able to score more thank 20k in a single hand.

Update: Just scored over 44k in one hand.

I jist won a run with black deck using only spare trousers and blueprinted stencil from ante 2. Was unstoppable.

I mean if you haven't played much, you might think that. There are far better jokers.

[ERROR 404]

Brainstorm + Blueprint + Polychrome Triboulet is crazy good. One time I got it in a non seeded run and I got to ante 12 because chicot helped me on ante 10.

not the best, but pretty solid. uranus (two pair) is good at chips, but bad at mults. so it need great muits booster, and you have it.
runner is another good "scale on play specific poker hand" joker but it's not great as pants, because saturn (straight) is already good at chips.
spare trousers is missing piece of two pair, that's the why you feel it's good.

as far as scaling mult jokers go, i'd agree that it's the best

[CMDR Shven]

One of the better scaling jokers provided you're playing two pair or full house. Far from the best joker(s) overall. That distinction probably goes to Baron or Perkeo depending which endless build you're running.

There's an Achievement for getting a million in one hand, so the game is open to a lot of scaling up. I really like Spare Trousers, but like most scaling Jokers it's better to get it earlier rather than later in the run.

Blueprint is the best joker. I don't think that can be contested IMO.

Spare trousers is definitely a solid card. Two pair is pretty easy to make and it scales well. Its definitely in the "pretty good" category I would say for a standard game. Trash in endless/ very late game though.

Blueprint is really powerful, but if it's your only Joker it doesn't do anything. I guess we could set up a category of "best single Joker" vs. "most powerful Joker". Or: "Jokers you'd pick up no matter what" - Blueprint is definitely that.

Best for what? Beating ante 8? Maybe, getting high scores? Absolutely not.

If you want to compare all jokers in terms of beating ante 8 gold stake, and you are going off of actual games and not judging in a vacuum, I wouldn't even put blueprint in the top 5. Best one imo is Yorick, followed by constellation, hologram, cavendish, riff-raff, Triboulet, and then blueprint.

Blueprint is still better than all of those. The ability to move it as needed breaks the game. I wouldn't even consider some of those in the top 50, and 2 are legendary which are obviously amazing but found too infrequently. I mean I have found Yorick maybe 3 times and I've gold staked all but 2 of the decks.

Saying Riff-raff is better than blueprint is almost fighting words haha.

Blueprint can't be the best joker because it doesn't do anything. It required a good joker to copy, which automatically makes it worse than anything you'd actually copy.

[Luh]

spare trousers one of my fav jokers for sure

OK and when are you playing with 0 other jokers? You are trying to argue some weird semantic but its not how things work.

There isn't just 1 good joker though is the point. Blueprint gives you a copy of any joker you have. The biggest strength of it is that you can move it around.

Oh you have burglar? Blueprint it at the blind select now you get +6 hands instead of +3. Then move it over to Hanging chad so your gold seal gets triggered 5 times instead of 3 on a high card play. Then move it over to Card Shark so you get x9 for the subsequent hands instead of x3.
