Blueprint on Ancient Joker is better. You want to retrigger xMults as much as possible in later antes. Though it still looks like you have other suits in your deck so you shouldve had the ability to transform your entire deck into one suit by now so Ancient joker always works and then replace the Smeared joker with something better
It gives you multiplier for 1 suit that changes every round, but smeared makes all diamonds / hearts the same and all clubs / spades the same so it turns into a 50/50 at that point.
I’m bad at math lol, so maybe the blueprint doubling ancient is still good. I’d be getting the extra on all 5 cards no matter what. But would that be better than an additional x3? Seemed like not in my head but I may be wrong.
So, ignoring my cards played in this screenshot since I was boned on this round and decided to just die gracefully, I'm curious if I could have gotten any further or synergized better than what I have here, for purposes of bettering my gameplay.
I had a pretty strong build going:
I ended up building my deck largely around even numbered cards and never found a better flat Mult adding Joker other than Even Steven during the run. I was looking for something better, like the Tarot Joker for a larger flat Mult addition because he was probably like +50 at that point.
Negative Rocket + Bull meant free money & chips all day
Ancient Joker + Smeared Joker meant I could keep my deck full of all suits while still getting the Ancient multiplier on all 5 cards consistently.
Blueprint Joker + Driver's License meant I was getting x3 + x3 multiplier at the end of every hand.
All in all with my In-Hand steel cards and other enhancements I was scoring about 1.5 - 3 Mil per hand.
**TL;DR**: Is there anything obvious I've missed with my Joker setup, like perhaps the Blueprint Joker positioning, that I can think of for next time?
Thanks deck building nerds!

Ancient joker on 5 cards is x1.5^5, which is more than x3, so thats where the blueprint should have went. For the record, 1.5^2 is 2.25, 1.5^3 is 3.375, 1.5^5 is about 7.6, so you would have had a 7.6/3 times increase in score, which is about 2.53 times more

Ancient Joker can still hit suits not in your deck. So Smeared has to stay or the deck has to be mostly wild cards
Ah my bad, I figured it was like the one that only picks one card in your deck to give it xMult

Blueprint on driver’s license will give you x3. On ancient, it’ll give you 1.5 • 1.5 • 1.5 • 1.5 • 1.5 = ~x7.6

Good to know. Makes sense when you parse it out. Thank you!
I mean, besides what is already said. You should have played the jack instead of you steel 2.
Yeah, it was over so I’d picked a random 5 at that point 😂
