I don't know about y'all, but this house looks like a nightmare...

I don't think people understand just how powerful the Dealmaker is.

The Dealmaker provides four different upsides: +5 MG, +5 DF, +30% Money, +40% Resist to Puppet/Cat.

Here's how broken the Dealmaker is: If you split the Dealmaker into four different armors, each with only one of these upsides and no other stats... EACH ONE WOULD STILL BE POWERFUL AND VIABLE.

+5 MG is better than MysticBand (not to mention that in the context of the full Dealmaker you're ALSO getting DF out of it???? even though Mysticband is counterbalanced by having no DF???)

+5 DF exists elsewhere... but the other +5 DF items all have drawbacks (GoldWidow reduces money gain, TennaTie reduces MG), and while those are negligible drawbacks in the right contexts it's still objectively better to not have those downsides

+30% Money Gain outclasses the +5% from SilverCard and having no DF for that would still probably be worth running for money grinding. This is maybe the most dubious one here but I think this would be worth running alone.

+40% Puppet/Cat Resist might seem like it might not be that good… but the mannequin is only +35% and is worth running for Spamton NEO at least.

Literally all 4 of these stats on their own are broken and better than the competition even two chapters later.

And The Dealmaker does all four of these. For free. For no downsides.
