propellers seem a little... overpowered (possible King of Cards Spoilers)

So, later on in the game you get to propeller knight and all the stuff around him. how is one supposed to beat him in joustus without cheating? his cards are almost all propeller and he can just push your cards onto gems and win easily because they NEVER change back to your team

I noticed that too. I was ready to just cheat him, when I managed to get the perfect draw and beat him with it fairly. In this one it's either the perfect counter, perfect play due to RNG, or flat out cheating to win, because the Propeller Knight joust didn't allow a single mistake.

Cardia was tough, Traitorous with the king's deck was hard too, but those were because my deck had poor cards, Propeller Knight simply has double counters towards any strategies you may have, or even triple advantage I'd say, due to the board being greatly advantageous to the kind of cards he has where he can lock his card and your turned card in a full row easily.

This was easily the hardest joust for me so far and I'm getting near the end of the game, with the promise of one last champion mentioned from Cardia.

It is indeed probably the hardest joustus game to win. One thing you could do is grind up some cards from the Cavern Of Joustus to turn his tricks back against him. Or you could simply try to position your cards in such a way that they safeguard each others, but that requires the enemy to be lacking access to a given direction at the time and you to have just the right cards admittedly.

Other options include using bomb cards that you should have *plenty* of if you've been doing every joustus game you could to destroy your own, turned cards. Or waiting until the end of the game and coming in with cards from there, if you're really desperate.

Just abuse the AI's habit of stealing cards when they can be pushed onto gems. Play a weak card, let the steal happen, then push the stolen card into the gutter in a way that locks you into the gem square.
