Endless mode unlocks after ante 8. Score targets explode from millions to billions trillions. Boss blinds ban multiple hands. Most decks die by ante 12. This guide covers scaling builds and strategies that actually survive endless.
Master jokers from our Jokers tier list 2026 and builds from our Best builds 2026 first.
How endless mode works
Ante 9+ removes victory condition. Blinds scale exponentially:
Ante 9: ~1 billion
Ante 12: trillions
Ante 15+: unfathomable numbers
Key differences:
Boss blinds ban 2-3 hands (pairs flush straight flush etc.)
Score thresholds double every 1-2 antes
Joker slots maxed (5 slots)
No more unlocks – pure build optimization
Endless tests scaling not adaptation.
Core endless requirements
Surviving ante 12 needs these non negotiable pieces:
Infinite scaling engine
Retrigger loops (brainstorm four fingers) mult stacking (satellite planets) score xN (blueprint glass)
Economy stability
Baron planet rerolls consistent shop access
Hand flexibility
Wildcard perkeo discard solves multi bans
Deck leanness
20-30 cards max. Spectral soul ouija aggressively
No deck survives endless without retriggers scaling.

Deck management in endless
Card count: 20-30 max Tarot: Soul ouija duplicate core jokers Spectral: Planets legendaries only Playing cards: Remove after ante 10
Deck bloat kills endless faster than bad jokers.
Boss blind adaptation
Ante 12+ bosses ban 3 hands. Survival checklist:
Wildcard/perkeo solves bans?
3+ hand types viable?
Retriggers beat score walls?
Economy handles planet rerolls?
Restart if missing any.
