Worst Deck?

[mic mike]

What, in your opinion, is the worst deck?

Worst to play with, hardest to use, least fun, whichever.

Definitely the black deck. It was already arguably the weakest before, but with all the detrimental joker stickers in circulation the upside is virtually non-existent now (and the downside is still massive).

That's actually a very good point, never thought about that because I did beat black gold pre patch.

Anyone reading this going for completionist+, might be good to prioritise Black deck before patch comes out.

Honestly, drop the -1 hand and the Black deck would still be one of the toughest, I'm not kidding. A 6th useful joker always comes so late, that one extra joker slot really isn't worth anything at the start of a run. The -1 hand penalty on top of that just makes it awful. Bad economy. No forgiveness of any kind.

I agree 100%. The pro of an extra joker doesn't impact you until maybe ante 4, which you have a really hard time getting to with that -1 hand penalty. And even then it's not a lot!

The extra joker doesn't help early on unless you get a joker early that generates more jokers every blind.

Black Deck, but less so about whether you die because of losing a hand, but the fact you make much less money. It's a lot more crippling in the long term.

Only played up to Blue Stake so far so take with pinch of salt
Black's my second best performing deck after Plasma
Worst one's been Painted & it's not even close, tons of losses
Zodiac's been pretty bad too, vouchers making me see less early Jokers

for some reason I'm having a really bad time with the Red Deck. Probably a skill issue

black deck's definitely the hardest, but i find checkered deck to be the least fun. it just feels mindless to me, just click the coloured cards and hope you find good flush jokers.
