Rating & Analysis
Raised Fist grants +Mult equal to 2× the lowest-ranked card held in hand. At Common $5, holding only Kings (13) yields +26 Mult, only Queens +24 Mult, only Aces (11) +22 Mult. A held-card-axis Joker on par with Shoot the Moon.
The dream pairing is face-only held hands: Baron (held K x1.5 Mult) + Lord Lord (held K +30 Chips) + Raised Fist = face-trio with massive face-axis output. Shoot the Moon (held Q +13 Mult) parallels for "+24 Mult (Raised Fist) + +13 Mult per Q (Shoot the Moon)" stacking.
Critical caveat: Stone Cards count as rankless (0) when held — they become the "lowest" and tank Raised Fist to +0 Mult. Play out low-rank cards to keep the held minimum high. Mime retriggers held effects → doubled output. Blueprint / Brainstorm copy doubles. Strength Tarot (rank +1) lifts low ranks for higher floor. Tier lists rate A overall, A+ in held-card builds.

Tips & Usage
- Aim to hold only K (max +26 Mult) by playing out low ranks.
- Strength Tarot lifts 2→3, 3→4 etc. to raise the held floor.
- Stone Cards count as rankless minimum — branch your build away from them.
- Place Mime adjacent for retrigger doubling.
- The minimum is checked after the played hand — prioritize playing low cards.
Caveats
- Stone Cards = rankless 0 → drops Raised Fist to +0 Mult (critical).
- Abandoned Deck (no faces) caps the held floor low.
- Perishable still works with face-held hands.
- Eternal locks the build path — plan accordingly.
- Small hand sizes limit how high the held floor can climb.
