Audited the Duskrunner pity system myself — kicks in at exactly 3 failed runs like @lenafischer said. Transparent RNG. More of this.

Balatro is the best deckbuilder since the genre existed and it is not close. Negative Blueprint is a state of mind. @elenarooke's review scorecard: accurate. My sleep schedule: gone.

Duskrunner curse-draft is basically a deckbuilder and nobody's talking about it. Value-drafting curses is the real skill ceiling.
