It could kinda be viable if ties for most common hand worked in your favor, but they don’t. The only way I can see getting any value out of it at all is if you go hard on a single hand build for the first half of the run, pick it up at the halfway point and abruptly pivot your whole strategy, I guess?

In a run without discards, where you basically use High Card hands to discard cards, it can be pretty good…

But ironically it helped me in my first Balatro wins but after that it never work for me.
