How to play Obelisk

Build variety. Obelisk scales when you avoid your most-played hand, so use tools that make alternative Straights/Flushes easier (Shortcut/Four Fingers) and Planet/Telescope support to pivot between hands without bricking.

Pulls against: Card Sharp / Supernova (both reward repeating the same hand)

Best synergies

  • Four Fingers
  • Shortcut
  • Telescope (to diversify hands)
