A smaller, more focused deck is often a stronger deck. Using 'The Hanged Man' Tarot card to remove unwanted cards (e.g., low-rank cards if you're going for high-card builds, or cards of a suit you're not using for Flushes) increases the probability of drawing your key cards. This improves consistency and reduces the need for discards. Similarly, duplicating powerful cards with 'The Fool' can make it much easier to form specific hands like Pairs, Three of a Kind, or even Straights/Flushes if combined with Wilds.
Techniques for deck consistency:
- Remove Unwanted Cards: Use 'The Hanged Man' to remove low-value or off-strategy cards.
- Duplicate Key Cards: Use 'The Fool' to create more copies of high-rank, Wild, or Steel cards.
- Wild Card Generation: Prioritize Jokers or Tarot cards that make cards Wild to increase flexibility.
- Focus on a Few Hand Types: Don't try to build for every poker hand; specialize in 1-2.
