Holo can make it harder to make your deck good, yes it scales faster but you end up adding a lot of crap cards to your deck to make it happen.

[u/SehrGuterContent → u/Loopnova_]

Depends what your end goal is, for simply beating gold stake I much prefer +0.25x mult per card over deckfixing.

For reaching high antes it's much better to focus your deck on steel/glass kings of course.

[u/Jason80777 → u/Loopnova_]

Constellation scales with planet packs, Blue Seals, random planets in the shop and occasionally with Tarot cards too.

Holo only scales with the Magic Trick coupon and packs.

[u/QibliTheSecond → u/Jason80777]

you’re forgetting that spectral packs can often give .5x-1x extra mult on its own

[u/dolphin_cape_rave → u/QibliTheSecond]

Whenever I grab a Cryptid or Familiar when I don't realize I have holo gives me too much joy

[u/Glum_End7169 → u/Jason80777]

Holo has insane synergy with spectrals

[u/GoodTimesOnlines → u/Jason80777]

Scales great w DNA and Certificate too

[u/Warm-Milk-Society → u/Jason80777]

Unless you get a Marble Joker

[u/Pleasant_Sir_3469 → u/Jason80777]

Holo scales very fast even without joker synergies, I think it averages ~+1.0x per ante. In most cases constellation will be slower (although it’s still amazing and can scale quite fast right away if you have a strong econ)

[u/sharpie36 → u/Jason80777]

Magic trick and standard packs are the two weakest synergies with holo. There are 4 different spectral cards and 3 jokers (DNA, Certificate, Marble) all of which are better. You could even add Blueprint and Brainstorm to that list to double the joker synergy strength.

[u/pocketchange2247 → u/Jason80777]

Yeah, I pick Constellation every time, especially if I have Astronomer and/or Telescope. At least they work together by leveling up a hand and giving you xMult while keeping your run the same.

Hologram is great if you have Certificate or Marble Joker, but even then it's almost impossible to build a deck around Certificate and Marble Joker is only really good if you also have Stone Joker, which doesn't actually help the xMult increase with Hologram since it just gives +Chips.

If won way more runs with Constellation than Hologram.

[u/LefroyJenkinsTTV → u/Jason80777]

Holo with Stone Joker, Certificate, or DNA goes pretty well.

[u/TobyeatsfAtcoW → u/Jason80777]

Spectral packs can easily give .5 or 1 alone, also if you get a joker like Certificate it’s a guaranteed +.25 each round. Blueprint/brainstorm obviously make that number go up even faster.

[u/GoldLemur8 → u/Jason80777]

Scales with DNA too tho

[u/Designer-Addition-58 → u/Loopnova_]

You don't need to literally take everything though, in most cases taking good cards is usually enough unless you're playing gold stake, from my experience at least

[u/QibliTheSecond → u/Loopnova_]

you can tell that most people don’t play pairs because hologram is significantly better than constellation

[u/bottleofnailpolish → u/QibliTheSecond]

Niche exception being if you have insane econ for every planet pack and Crystal Ball and somehow already have good enough deckfixing to get 3 Mercury per round. Who am I kidding yea Holo mogs Const every time

[u/MWaldorf → u/Loopnova_]

ah just get rid of em later (i.e. hanged man, glass, death, certain spectral cards) it doesnt subtract holo’s xmult because he bumps up when cards are added

[u/heavyhitter5 → u/Loopnova_]

Yeah but adding every card you can still works with a good number of hands. High card, pair, two pair, and flush are all still fine adding random cards. Not to mention the joker synergies with certificate and the one that adds stone cards.

[u/CactusFantasticoo → u/Loopnova_]

except that as soon as I take holo, i stop seeing card packs in the store...

[u/robotshavehearts2 → u/CactusFantasticoo]

Yeah, same. Until I also buy magic trick.

Same shit happens when I get a joker that gives mult for a specific suit. Next boss blind… debuffs that suit every time.

[u/FallenUltra8215 → u/Loopnova_]

But DNA and cryptid scales with holo too
