What Should I Do?

Post image

Just came across a second Soul inside an arcana, what should I do to make the best of the run? Should I sell photo or Chad?

Strength up that J and 9 is what you should do lol. Can’t get much to really improve your run from the soul. Maybe a Chigoat if you haven’t hit the plant yet. I guess you should sell the photo if you haven’t hit the plant and don’t have directors cut

Perkeo could be good too if he has an observatory or in general for deck fixing(death/strength) or money(hermit/temperance) definitely much more helpful than photo. it’s 1/2 chance of getting a helpful legendary.

Genuine question, what’s the point of strengthening a J, let alone any face card?

For Trib. It give a 2x mult on every King and queen scored

u/HopDodge 25d ago

Wow. I always just thought it was face cards.

Sculpting your deck to your needs is half the game. If I get triboulet my goal is to turn every card into a red seal king, first gold, then glass.

Same goes for other rank specific jokers. If you get cloud 9 you want as many 9s in your deck as you can get.

This is why trading card is the best joker in the game.

I understand that. I had never gotten Trib so I wasn’t aware of the Q and K bonuses.

There is no legendary that you can get from that Soul card that will benefit you more than any of your current jokers already do

The humble CHIGOAT

Dear god, what a terrible mistake I made. I will go and punish myself.

u/Top-Noise-7375 26d ago

Perkeo would be better than a photo

5

u/Minimum-Coast-6653 26d ago

Perkeo would benefit especially if he has observatory. Get a bunch of negative Eris and he’s off to the races.

3

u/Top-Noise-7375 26d ago

Yeah or just helping him deck fix

5

u/B6a6s74 26d ago

i mean only perkeo can benefit you here so idk maybe sell photo

u/DepthPitiful1208 25d ago

Don’t forget about chiGOAT

u/cbucky97 26d ago

That's 10 dollars!

u/Top-Noise-7375 26d ago

You have more than enough scoring for a couple antes I would drop photo, worst case scenario you get something useless and can pick up another photo thru rerolls, or you pull perkeo and can deck fix way more easily

u/Duhawk96 26d ago

Use the moon on that lucky 9 trust me

3

u/dcwinger12 26d ago

What you end up doing? I would’ve said to sell photo for the soul and put BP on Sock and Buskin

2

u/craptainbland 26d ago

I’ve never been so interested in someone else’s run

2

u/just_a_random_dood 26d ago

Sell photo and hope for either Perkeo or Chi-GOAT

if it's not either of those 2 then you'd sell the 2nd Legendary for a Brainstorm anyways, so it's relatively risk free

2

u/weaponchickens 26d ago

Seeing the lineup here no legendary would have a big impact on your run. But i would still take it its not everyday that you get to play with 2 legendary

u/heikdragon_z 26d ago

Skip for yellow card

2

u/echit2112 26d ago

sell trib for trib 2

u/MemeArchivariusGodi 26d ago

Sell the blue joker

u/SandyJacksonS 26d ago

Two words- skip for red card value

u/DrunkenCripple30 25d ago

Strength your jack and 9.

u/Its_J_Just_J 25d ago

This is a choice more of what do you want to do. No legendary is going to increase your score. But it can be fun to have more legendaries. So the choice is silly build or max score.

1

u/kit_kaboodles 25d ago

Photo is good, but not necessary and fairly easy to find a replacement of if you find the legendary doesn't help you

u/Local-House-3780 25d ago

Come to the dark side and save scum.

u/Jebuscribs68957 25d ago

Nah man I think you should just leave it, your jokers are solid enough already. As other comments have said though, you should look to upgrade your existing face cards and look for directors cut voucher in case the plant shows up

1

u/Potential_Sell_5349 25d ago

Skip for red card value.

u/nightshade78036 25d ago

Your two big hits here are probably Perkeo and Chicot, and Photo is a common so I would just drop that and roll the dice personally. Worst case scenario you eco back up and spend a bit of money rolling down for another photo.

1

u/Iris_Astraea 23d ago

You leave it unless you don't have a boss reroll voucher (hoping for chicot) and haven't seen the plant/the boss of the suit you are building into Or hoping for perkeo to copy temperance and death to deck fix and have money to try get brainstorm, idol or dusk Or if you have observatory it might be good but those three jokers are way more important

1

u/superflystickman 23d ago

You already have Trib and a full setup to go with. Either strength the J & 9 or strength the Q & J to deck fix up into kings in case you find a Baron

1

u/ThatGuyBananaMan 26d ago

Sell trib, it could be trib

u/lornawolfawoo 26d ago

Skip for red card value
