    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

      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?

      But ironically it helped me in my first Balatro wins but after that it never work for me.
