    Negative tag gambling is even worse than Wheel of Fortune. You’re out an entire shop, all of your blind earnings, and the negative joker you get is going to suck.

      and the negative is going to suck

      How does it know??? Yeah yeah probability and bad dice rolls and muh open source code. But theres no fucking way it can so consistently hit either food jokers that expire in a few rounds or completely irrelivant jokers that dont syngergize to add any points/multi.

      I’m convinced they haven’t dug into the code enough. LocalThunk is some 4D chess player obsucating hidden functions layered deep in the spaghetti-cake lua that actually fucks with wheel of fortune and makes negative blind skips trash.

        Personally I don’t grab the negative tag hoping for an actually good joker, I grab it so I can ensure Verdant Leaf has free fodder for my run (I get it a lot and greatly prefer it when I have a negative tag seed). You give me garbage and I give it right back game!

      But with the Anaglyph deck and a pile of duplicate tags you get a whole lot of negative jokers. Assuming you get the negative tag at all.
