Balatro - Gold Stake / Black Deck

This is perhaps the biggest hurdle of all decks to play in this game. Early game is rough, not only with the reduced number of plays, but also the reduced amount of cash I earn per round because of that. The additional Joker slot can be impactful, on the other hand, depending on build. Purple and Orange stakes prior were especially painful, given the increased score scaling (and sometimes rough bosses. Looking at you, Ante 7 Flint!)

5 / 15 decks are now golden; hopefully things will be smooth sailing from here!
