Beat gold today on phone (previous time was on PC) after hitting a wall before... and it was on a deck that looked really unimpressive in both cards and jokers so I thought I'd share, kind of a contrast to the screenshots of super sick setups. It was kind of close in points but money was never an issue. I ran delayed gratification first half which synergized with green.

No negative, foil or polychrome jokers, and only a single holographic. Two common, two uncommon, one rare.

It looks really boringly unoptimized, which I think makes it interesting, strangely enough.

I think green was the very first one and I basically finished most rounds with only one or zero hands remaining. It usually doesn't work out well. But the missing hands remaining bonus was offset by delayed gratification which makes keeping discards even valuable for money, so in that regard the deck was actually good. But it was also really lucky that it worked out so long.

Fun fact the run would have also worked with extra large blind boss even though my score was really close because round 1 or 2 of ante 8 had Luchador in the store which I would have bought for Sock and Buskin as my initial idea what I got it for never really materialized which was getting money from lucky face cards, but all I got was mult which I didn't really need. Or in combination with Pareidolia to build wee even more. Didn't happen so it was kind of not very useful at that point but hey.
