it’s basically for pivot builds, like when you go from straights to straight flushes; the problem is that it’s only good in the middlegame , and needs to be found early, and needs to be replaced in the endgame.
so basically it sucks
I looked this one up online to figure out what strategy would even work with this joker and there really isn’t one.
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…
