Requirement: Win a run with the Blue Deck.

See every unlock path in the all 15 decks guide. You can also open everything at once via Reset Profile → Unlock All, but that disables achievements on the profile.

How Nebula Deck Works

Nebula starts with the Telescope voucher, so opening a Celestial Pack always contains the Planet for your most-played poker hand. You can over-level a single hand type well past normal, at the cost of one consumable slot. Choose a hand early and feed it every Planet you find.

How to Play It

Early · A1-3

Decide your scoring hand and play it often so Telescope locks onto it. Open Celestial Packs.

Mid · A4-6

Stack Planet levels on that one hand. Nebula reaches levels other decks can't.

Late · A7-8

Pair the over-levelled hand with an xmult core to turn base score into a finish.

Tips

  • Commit to one poker hand. Telescope only front-loads your most-played one.
  • The lost consumable slot means you can't hoard, so use Planets as you get them.
