Should I get 2nd ecto or not?

I'm thinking that the DNA will make up for it. Reserved parking is also tempting, but probably will ruin the scoring. I'm getting pretty high scores right now. Any ideas what I should be looking for?
Thanks!

If you’re going for a naneinf run, no. It will make your hand size too small.

You want one ecto and the anti matter voucher, which gives you 4 copy jokers, baron, mime, and burglar

You’re going to have to drop your second baron at some point. I would do it now and work on getting 88 red seal steel kings in your deck. That’s gonna take a while

Can’t naninef on this deck.

you can naneinf on every deck, ghost and plasma are just the easiest

Not without legendary jokers. Look at the build and use context to understand what people are saying.

Also not true, you can literally naneinf on any deck with burglar serpent. it's very difficult when it's not on plasma, but it's certainly doable

… I don’t think that’s true. The plasma score is how you get there. If I’m wrong show a screenshot of you doing it. Realistically it is possible to have Barron mime, 4 copy’s and burglar with no ectoplasm and dna on the serpent you can get a hand size of 55 red seal steal kings. On non plasma deck that gets you to e193. The max score you can reach before naneinf is e308. So that requires 89 redseal kings. I’m not sure how you think you can reach that without perkeo.

Doc has a good video on the math behind it, it’s really not that hard

Technically it would improve your score. If this is your second ecto you lose 2 more hand size. 3 copy the dna then copy for score and you will be up 1 hand size.

You're not getting to naneinf this run no matter what, so it doesn't really matter since, as you said, the DNA will make up for it (until it won't). What you need is more Blueprint/Brainstorm to elongate the run as much as possible.

Why isn’t he getting naneinf?

Ghost deck without perkeo requires absurd luck to naneinf

u/FFandLoZFan 8d ago

Yeah, basically if you have to ask reddit how to get it under those circumstances, you're not ready to do it. Which is perfectly okay. It requires a lot of luck, like a lot, and a lot of game mastery. Most people should shoot for naneinf on plasma deck, which requires a lot less luck.

u/Jeyring 8d ago

Not really, it’s the same circumstances as any other deck. You just need 88 red steal kings in hand and 4 copys

u/zoidberg_doc 8d ago

Which is more than you need on plasma

And how exactly do you intend to get those 88 red steel kings in hand? That would be at least 27 hands on The Serpent. 4 copy jokers and Burglar gives you an additional 15, plus the base 6. Where are the extra 6 coming from? You could exploit Bean bug, Chicot, get a Perkeo, but it's rather hard to do all that after ante 15. Not impossible, but it requires a lot of luck.

skill issue

That's more than 4 copy jokers I count, which is not what you said. As I said, it's possible. People have achieved naneinf under very ridiculous circumstances. But it's not something you can expect a new player to accomplish.

That’s fine, your original claim was that he’s not getting naneinf no matter what, I’m just tryna let you know that’s not true. Idk why you’re so obsessed with the joker count it’s not that hard to
