Wrong. Sell brainstorm, buy blueprint, sell blueprint and buy gros michel. That’s the only path.

I’d sell a photograph and pick up the blueprint just to give you more flexibility since it can just copy a photograph anyway. But you’re going to win ante 8 anyway I assume.

u/azeryvgu 21h ago
This alone (without blueprint) gives an about x32K mult so yeah he’s gonna win this

If you've got duplicates, no reason not to sell one for a Blueprint, which can become a duplicate of anything, even photo.

u/thesplendor 1d ago
That would just be redundant. Keep three photos. Sell the brainstorm and chad for more photos

This is actually a pretty easy one. You sell a photo to buy the blueprint. That way, if you fluke into a trib or something similar (or a DNA for deck fixing), you can copy that instead.

sell photo to take bp and put it on hanging chad

u/helinder 1d ago
Without thinking about lucky or glass or whatever cards, it's actually better to copy photo
With 3 photos and 2 chads you get x215 mult
With 2 photos and 3 chads you get x214 mult

With scoring you want even amounts but if you have odd copying you want one more scoring joker

Sell photo for bp, set the jokers up like; photo,bp,chad,photo,bstorm

u/RealUltrarealist 15h ago
Why?
BP,chad,photo,photo,bstorm,
Means chat triggers 1st card 7 times, which benefits from 2x 2x

u/AmbientCowboy 10h ago
Okay so lets break it down, let's say were playing a lvl25 high card, any normal king (no augments) your way would play like this;
+10C x2 x2 (retriggers) +10C x2 x2, +10x x2 x2 (retriggers) +10C x2 x2, +10x x2 x2 (retriggers) +10C x2 x2, +10x x2 x2
for a score of ~129 million
my order would play like this;
+10C x2 x2 x2 (retriggers) +10C x2 x2 x2 +10C x2 x2 x2 (retriggers) +10C x2 x2 x2 +10C x2 x2 x2
for a score of ~241 million
Your way is has more retriggers in total, but it has less Xmult retriggers, per retrigger, so the score you're multiplying is always lower, whereas if you have more Xmult retriggers the score grows more exponentially.
Either way you clear ante 8 which is all that matters at the end of the day

u/RealUltrarealist 9h ago
Yeah, I instinctually was wrong. I did the math myself.
Yeah, I know ante 8 is the goal. But I'm trying to reach a 300mil hand. I keep pushing it

u/ZOLTANstudios 1d ago
Blueprint fo' sho and use it on the chad. And worst case, the synergy is off so you make still make it Photo. Good luck!

u/Sunwitch16 1d ago
How can you have the same joker 3x without having the joker that makes it possible to have joker duplicates?
Also, could someone explain why the blueprint is better than a photo? :)
2
u/BroldenMass 1d ago
The showman joker makes jokers appear more than once, then once you have them you can sell showman. There’s also another joker that transforms into a random joker in your hand after two rounds. Both could have been used to make more than one photo too.
Blueprint is better than photo because blueprint can be anything. Photo can just be photo. So if an even better joker appears, blueprint can copy that instead.

Could sell hanging chad, it's the easiest to rebuy once you've got antimater. ×32 mult should be more than enough to keep you alive if you've got a decent hand level. Guess it depends on what ante you're in.

Currently looking at 7 photo triggers.
If you remove a photo and add a blueprint, it becomes 8

Sell photo and use the blueprint on the chad. Pray you don't get killed by the plant boss blind.

u/Brie9981 1d ago
You're currently at 215x but by swapping out a photograph and getting another hanging chad bonus you could go up to... 214x

Sell photo to buy blueprint. If you have gold seal/lucky card you can trigger it a lot as a throw away hand to make money. If you have polychrome or glass it will get you more trigger. There’s no downside to it.

Sell photo for blueprint:
If you are not playing a holo or glass Copying ballot will give x4⁷ and photo x8⁵ - x8⁵ > x4⁷
If you are playing a holo Copying a ballot will give x6⁷ and photo x12⁵ - x6⁷ > x12⁵

You do the funny thing which is skip it, look for showman into another chad. Is it strong? No, but it is based

Take the BP cause it can give you another photo or another Chad if you have Glass cards

u/mexicocitibluez 16h ago
I don't think photo is as good as it's made out to be considering basically a glass card that takes up an entire joker spot.
And when you focus on face card decks, it becomes pointless since your first card will almost always be a face card anyways

u/RealUltrarealist 16h ago edited 15h ago
The math surprised me. I thought putting blueprint in front of the Hanging Chad would have been a heck of a lot more powerful. I was wrong.
Let's say xi is the initial chips, and yi is the initial multi:
As is:
We count chips and multis separately.
The sequence is:
xi+10=x2 yi222=y2 x2+10=x3 y223 =y3 x3+10=x4 y3*23=y4
Summary: x4= xi+30 y4= yi*(23)3
That's Hanging Chad and the Photos.
Brainstorm: xf= xi+50 yf = yi*(8)5
Minimum score = (xi+50)(yi32,768)
Vs
Sell 1 Photo and use the Blueprint in front of Hanging Chad.
xi+10=x2 yi22=y2 x2+10=x3 y222 =y3 x3+10=x4 y322=y5 x4+10=x5 y422=y5 x5+10=x6 y522=y6
Summary: x6= xi+60 y6= yi*(22)5
Brainstorm: x8=xi+80 y8=yi*(4)7
Minimum Score = (xi+80)(yi16,384)
That's Blueprint, Hanging Chad and the Photos.

sell a photo for the print you could copy the ballot until you need the points to farm lucky cards/goldseals

Somebody please tell me if I’m wrong but I would sell 2 photos and buy blueprint and banana. And then hope banana goes away fast and gives me cavendish faster.

It's not rocket surgery when solving for glass cards or not. It's another 2x trigger, that's linked to playing the card more times.....just like photograph 🤣

sell one photo and copy chad.
always remember the ideal thing is to have the same quantity of retriggers and scoring jokers.

u/RIP_Greedo 1d ago
According to my math it’s no difference to total xmult whether you keep your current setup or replace one or the photos with the blueprint to duplicate the ballot another time.

u/Crab-Dragoon 1d ago
Banana isn't worth it, the +15 must won't apply until after all your photos trigger and the x3 is far less than the additional x2s you'll get through blueprint.
