To answer the "why is this not popping" question, a lot of the variance is from Bloodstone, which has absolutely wild swings, and how much you get from it depends a lot on face cards because of the retrigger joker. So a face card in the flush means that you're potentially giving a x16 multiplier off retriggered and Blueprinted Bloodstone (that's four 1 in 3 chances), and having four face cards would be a potential 65536 times increase in score. That's the extreme end, but Bloodstone introduces a lot of variance, and the variable multipliers lead to huge score swings.

@william14able 2 ай бұрын

@dizzzzy6 2 ай бұрын

Yeah the best play would’ve been to aggressively thin non-face cards from the deck as early as possible so the blueprint would be able to stay on the retrigger joker. This would have also been blueprints optimal placement with any hand he played with more face cards than non-face cards. That all being said the late game didn’t really offer a lot in terms of thinning or even strength cards.

Bloodstone might be one of the most triggering cards in the game. I once had it, a Blueprint, and a Brainstorm pointing at it.

Fibonacci also wasn't helping too much with the face cards. It would have been better to dump it for a different uncommon (to keep the 1.5x from baseball) that gave more consistent flat mult.

@shaunjcwgaming 2 ай бұрын

I know you don't tend to read KZfaq comments and I don't blame you but I am genuinely trying to talk about a mechanic that is really interesting, makes a huge difference to your scores, and easily missed. Getting mult from "When played" effects is so significant compared to flat mult added after your hand is played. You did pick the heart joker that adds 4 mult for every heart played but almost didn't because you were compairing 20 mult to 18. That 20 so much bigger than you realise. For your deck it was 5 instances of 4 mult that had two 1/3 chances to get multiplied by 2. Say you get 5 triggers (which is pretty much the average) that's 248 mult just form that one joker, not 20 (and it's way more than that when you include your base hand mult). Not to mention a 6th and 7th trigger would make it 504, 1016 etc, it goes to the moon very quickly. The other important thing is that 248 mult then gets effected by steel and polychrome cards. The 18 is always 18 and only gets impacted by jokers that multiply your score but "when played" mults are so much better because they get effected by so many other multiplication effects. Sometimes it is pretty much the same but your deck was the best possible example of how much of an impact knowing that difference can make.

Blueprint on bloodstone is better since when on bloodstone, each card is triggered twice with the bloodstone effect triggered twice resulting in 4 total triggers per card. When blueprinting the face joker, each card triggers 3 times with the bloodstone effect once, which is just 3 triggers per card. But this only applies when you have 4 or 5 face cards with no polychrome.

@mhpurplerooster 2 ай бұрын

Why does Blueprint on Bloodstone result in 4 triggers per card? Bloodstone = 1/3 chance and Blueprint = 1/3 chance. Two triggers. Having it on Sock & Buskin is better if you're playing a hand with 3+ face cards, otherwise Bloodstone is better. "Blueprint on bloodstone is better since when on bloodstone, each card is triggered twice," this is wrong; nothing about Bloodstone giving a chance to double your mult or Blueprint copying that ability would cause your cards to re-trigger. What are you talking about lol

@senk7283 2 ай бұрын

@@mhpurplerooster besides extra chips and possible polychrome triggers, blueprint is always better copying bloodstone, no matter how many face cards are in your hand. with blueprint copying sock and buskin, assuming you are playing flushes, 3 face cards gives 11 chances for bloodstone, with 4 face cards it's 13 chances, and with 5 face cards it's 15 chances. with blueprint copying bloodstone, 3 face cards gives 16 chances for bloodstone, with 4 face cards it's 18 chances, and with 5 face cards it's 20 chances.

I am upset that he sold the heart joker and refused to buy it when it showed up again. It was not just 20 mult, it was minimum 20 mult, with the all the red seals and retriggers, it might have often been a lot more. He needed more flat mult, which the heart joker would have provided.

@Szechoable 2 ай бұрын

Having played this specific build before multiple times. Heart joker is better than any flat mult cards because it activates while bloodstone is activating. Also, he should've been rerolling to get oops all 6's, blueprint or pareidolia. But otherwise, good run.
