Painted Deck
+2 hand size, −1 Joker slot
A bigger hand for better draws and easier Flushes and Straights, at the cost of one Joker slot.

How Painted Deck Works
Painted draws 10 cards instead of 8 but removes a Joker slot. The larger hand makes Flushes, Straights and five-card hands much easier to build and improves card selection. With only 4 joker slots, though, your engine has to be tighter.
How to Play It
Use the bigger hand to hit consistent Flushes and Straights and pick the best five cards each play.
With one fewer slot, favour jokers that do two jobs at once, like scaling plus utility.
Held-in-hand builds thrive here. Baron and Mime get more Kings to work with.
