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.

Oh, some more info in case you find that interesting.

I didn't have grabber, so I was actually limited to 4 hands per round. Funny enough I did have both discard vouchers at the end. No hieroglyph.

From these info, the maximum mult on that joker should be about 96, assuming buying the joker before first round, playing every blind, no discards, always 4 hands, so 3 x 4 x 8. Considering this, I think 49 is actually quite good, as sometimes you must discard because you only have one hand remaining and can't build a winning one, or don't want to risk throwing a hand and instead play a winning one, or sometimes early beating blinds with the lowest high cards with something like popcorn or ice cream, which I think I had at one point during ante 2 or something.
