#magic deck

I'll reblog this with the full deck once I get it tested and cleaned up more, but I wanted to share the silly proxies I made.

Okay. This one I'm pretty proud of.

Picked up Madness in the first shop. Literally first thing, so it had a ton of time to scale. I actually picked up the Gros Michel for the Ante 1 boss, since Madness won't eat a Joker on boss blinds, and I wasn't super super sure I was strong enough to make it.

Odd Todd came pretty early, and made this an Aces and 9s focused kind of build. I used a couple Strength cards and an early Immolate to make it easier to play odds. This is a pairs build, so Mercury up to 25! I picked up a Mercury pretty early, and my starter Fools helped me boost that up. Gave the Madness something to actually multiply. (lol)

Mystic Summit came super late. I spend the whole run barely scraping by with Odd Todd, and then in like... Ante 6? it showed up and saved my bacon. I also have a Blue Seal, Steel, 2 in the deck. I got The Needle blind as a boss in a late round, whatever would make my target 120,000 (Boss 6?), and it was probably only by the grace of managing to get the Steel in my hand that I survived. The resultant Mercury was just the cherry on top that round.
