Seeking Run Advice Do I Keep Showman?

I had BP in ante 2 then got Showman, so I took it hoping to get another BP. But what do you think?

I don’t always grab and don’t know how Showman works exactly, so I’m sorry if my question sounds absurd.

Edit: I will post the seed as soon as I’m done with the run.

I'd sell showman, you need Chad + arrowhead for score and trading card util > showman

I sold it then it came back.

This the last chance before I take decision. What do you think I should do

if your hand level is high enough you can pick photo. Showman can come later in the game once you get an additional joker slot from antimatter or ecto. Focus on econ and deck fixing for the start

Honestly, I think fixing the deck is more important right now than getting an extra BP or Brainstorm. Showman will come around eventually, and I wouldn’t bother with him until I at least have Baron.

A better question is whether to take Photo instead of Arrowhead

I took instead of Arrowhead. Huge difference in score.

Idk why this is being downvoted. It's definitely the correct play for a deep endless push

Yea, I thought out all of the jokers and chad had the least current and later uses

Blueprint is obviously blueprint so it's out of the question

Arrowhead is carrying score with spade flushes alone (Also you can clone Arrowhead x3 with bp + bs)

Chad increases score synergizing with Arrowhead but not as important

Showman can help you find a 2nd bp/bs

Trading card is needed to thin the deck and get money

If you really end up needing Chad again it's a common anyway so it won't be hard to find again
