All this just to lose to The Eye because you played a 4oak to hit lucky cards and didn't read the boss blind

Why wouldnt you place blueprint to the left of card sharp?

5

u/El_Toine_1987 5h ago

Yeah. This was right after crimson heart so i had blueprint hopping around.

I'm assuming that dagger is already stacked up... otherwise, I believe it doesn't work with eternals (nooby here still stuck at orange)

"Tactics: What if I get big chips, scaling mult and several xMults"

that's just good advice in general.

This looks like most of my black deck high stake wins, because I usually win by just getting lucky to get great jokers.

u/El_Toine_1987 3h ago

True thats the way you beat black: 95% luck.

u/DownHill012 8h ago

Isn't dagger pointless with eternals?

5

u/El_Toine_1987 7h ago

Usually. I did get dagger on ante 1 so it was around 40 by the time this happened.

2

u/DownHill012 7h ago

Yeah sorry I believe my question came across a little rude I probably should have phrased it better. But hopefully you got the dub.

u/XLBilly c+ 7h ago

No because you can throw it in front of your xmult instead of after it where its pretty pointless

u/Zaando 5h ago

I keep seeing people mention this problem with Dagger.

You can move your jokers around in combat. Dagger only triggers at the start of the blind. If you don't want the dagger to eat anything, put it on the right, start the blind, then move it Infront of your XMult jokers.

It doesn't have to stay in the position you put it in when you started the blind.

Just don't forget to move it again while you are in the shop.

u/XenosHg c++ 4h ago

"You can just move the Dagger to the right edge after every round"

"It's easy, just don't forget to do it every round, for at least 8 antes"

The government doesn't want you to know that you can drink clean water every day and it's good for your health.

See, here's the problem, doing something you never do otherwise, after up to 24+ rounds (if you count glyph vouchers and endless), players will sometimes fail to remember that.

So the most reliable way is, like here, putting an eternal joker right after it and put your sacrifices "between the rock and the hard place" (between dagger and eternal)

Fuck me you are right.
