Rating & Analysis
Wily Joker grants +100 Chips when the played hand contains Three of a Kind — fires on Three of a Kind / Four of a Kind / Full House. Trigger rate is ~10-15% on standard decks, the lowest of the chip-trio, but +100 Chips per hit is the highest.
The dream pairing is the chip-trio: Sly + Clever + Wily. Full House triggers all three for +230 Chips. Total cost $11 — phenomenal value for early/mid-Ante carry.
The Trio + Wily anchors the Three-of-a-Kind axis — The Trio is x2 Mult on Three of a Kind, doubling output on every trigger. Sly Joker (Three of a Kind +50 Chips) parallels for double-chip stacking — wait, that's actually labeled Sly in some translations; verify with Jolly Joker for additive Mult instead. Plasma Deck turns Wily into chip-axis exponential. Tier lists rate B+ overall, A in chip-trio. $4 for +100 Chips is excellent — buy on sight.
Deck Ratings

|---|---|---|
| Plasma | A | Chip averaging amplifies +100 Chips exponentially |
| Abandoned | A- | No faces — number-based Three of a Kind reliable |
| Red / Blue | B+ | Stable on standard decks |
| Yellow | B+ | $4 trivial vs starting capital |
| Ghost | B | Spectral axis pulls in different direction |

Caveats
- Pair / Two Pair alone don't trigger — Three of a Kind inclusion required.

- Stone Card builds (rankless) don't satisfy condition.
- Mid/late xMult builds outscale +Chips — replacement candidate.
