Expiration Date is still unbeliably awful

[LeDuffy]

I've completed all the other challenges before the patch. But even with the 5 more rounds and all other changes, this challenge is just god awful.
For it to actually be not a 1 in 100+ runs it would have to be like 25 or 30 rounds that items would survive. And at that point you might as well replace the challenge with one that's actually fun.

Wait until you play glass tony. Items hardly last 2 rounds let alone 15. I wish I were playing expiration right now. It also literally wasn't changed at all after the update.

I lost repeatedly on Expiration Date pre-patch. I decided to wait for the patch, and then I went back to it and beat it first try.
I'm sure I was lucky in some ways, but also, if you're holding two of the same item in order to merge right before an item gets deleted, you're basically getting 30 rounds out of an item, which is the amount you seem to desire in your post.
You can beat the game by cycling a couple of common items for the entire run, assuming you're making the most of freezes/rerolls/cafe.

Expiration Date was the last, and hardest challenge for me to complete, are you resetting for early Gold Snow ball items? are you going for black market?(I didn't btw).

I'm still trying to do Nublocke. Please don't tell me it gets worse...
