Shortcut

Uncommon utility

"Allows Straights to be made with gaps of 1 rank (ex: 10 8 6 5 3)"

# Playstyle Analysis

✅ Best Use Case

Synergy Piece: Strongest when paired with re-trigger effects.

🛑 When to Skip

Only buy if you have an open Joker slot.

⚠️ Common Mistake

"Slot locking. Refusing to sell this for a better Joker when it appears in the shop."

Shortcut enables gap Straights (10 8 6 5 3), dramatically expanding Straight availability and enabling Straight-scaling Jokers. Pick early if Straight synergies exist; transforms card selection and hand management.
