Obelisk is pretty easily run winning especially if you get it early, but God I hate using it.

Not for every build. Baron is the main one I think you play high card for. Your mult gets multiplied by 1.5x for every king held in hand. So, it’s ideal to fill your hand with as many kings as possible and play only one card.

One of my favorite wins was red card + stencil. Like +400 mult every hand. Think I had telescope too to get chips for my hand.

Which I also do every single time.

If you don’t do wheel of fortune literally every single time it appears, then you’re not a real Balatro player.

I have used that card 3 times and 2 times I got two’d. Never again

Taking fat mike over red card is a choice.
