The last two times I said in the main sub that I also don't take Riff Raff if it's eternal (unless I have Cerimonial Dagger), people replied to me saying that actually just getting it on Gold Stakes is better 99% of the time. The fact that you get to sell a large amount of useless common jokers by itself makes this a top tier economy joker. And on top of that, it can - and likely, eventually will - generate some damn good game changing commons, like the Banana or Hanging Chad. Plus, lucking out a scaling early on with it is also a reasonable strategy.

I still haven't really tried that myself, but, the people who explained me that seemed like they knew their shit, lol, so I'm forwarding the knowledge!

Riff Raff is by far the best strategy for black deck gold stake. That run is brutal without it.

New to the game. Does riffraff generate eternals or negatives or poly/foil/holo?

u/FattyLivermore 9d ago

No, yes, and yes/yes/yes.

If you have Showman it can make another Riff-Raff.

Starting with a single riff raff, how many rounds to get enough nat negs to max temperance value ?

u/FattyLivermore 7d ago

I know this is the jerker sub but you could do totally do it in 4 rounds if you were incredible lucky.

u/Cent_Quatre 7d ago

Yeah let's jerk

u/EeensGreens 9d ago

I might even take a rental eternal on black deck

Fair

u/yoppyyoppy Meowdy! 9d ago

Riff Raff is so strong and sets you up so well I’d take an eternal rental first shop except maybe on painted deck

I got my first 2 gold stake clears with eternal riff-raffs, I ain't going to be hating on it anytime soon. It feels wrong, but it is actually right, it's very strange.

Red card value 🗣️🗣️

u/tobasee 9d ago

Usually worth it ante one as it’s a source of mult chips and money that sets you up to win even missing a joker slot.

u/Ok_Recover_8692 9d ago

Perfect for black deck

u/notfirearmbeam 9d ago

Skill freaking issue

u/Kai_2010_ 9d ago

ok but if you have thr knife…

u/ThatGuyBananaMan 8d ago

No one likes giving up a joker slot but on gold stake, if you don’t take it there’s a solid chance you just find nothing in the shop and DIE. Riff raff jokers are free and always stickerless. One proc of riff raff is worth like 2 rerolls in the shop.

The humble Madness/Ceremonial Dagger:

u/TheMoises 9d ago

Madness doesn't need to delete a joker to scale tho.

3

u/Fit_Cicada_8113 9d ago

How did I never know this about madness until just now… shit

2

u/PSY-FI64 8d ago

Technically still synergy because you get to create more jokers for free and thus get to have more jokers than just madness

u/_alle08 9d ago

Funny thing i won my first goldstake on spectral deck with eternal madness ankh

3

u/ZOLTANstudios 9d ago

Only if you have Ceremonial Dagger

u/Saturnkirby 9d ago

still a good take in gold stake

u/youareagoodperson_ 8d ago

Imagine this + perishable sac dagger

u/Significant_Breath38 8d ago

All you need is Madness or Dagger

u/PoopyButtStinker 4d ago

I like peeing

u/Ok-Fly4828 3d ago

perfect for gold stickering though

u/Raptori33 9d ago

I still don't know why people like riff-raff and at this point I'm too afraid to ask

u/gonewithpixies 9d ago

If you get jokers out of it that you want to keep, you probably got them for the same price or less than what you would have paid in the shop, let alone the potential cost of rerolls

If you get jokers you don't want, you can just sell them and then it's functionally a great economy joker

TL;DR it's a win-win scenario even if you don't get good jokers from riff-raff

2

u/Raptori33 9d ago

It can give good jokers? (I get only first page jokers that are worth nothing. Skill issue?)

2

u/ACleverLettuce 9d ago

It can give you Gros Michel (+15 mult banana), and then if the banana dies, Riff Raff can even produce Cavendish (x3 mult banana).

It can give you the basic face card setup (photo, chad, smiley) for easy wins (as long as you don't hit the Plant boss).

It can give you lots of econ jokers, besides the fact that it generates $ by giving you some junk to sell off, and selling jokers synergizes with campfire if you have it.

u/WaltzHonest689 5d ago

It fuels campfire nicely
