I've gotten a lot of mileage really focusing on boosting chips with the plasma deck. Got Wee Joker and Midas Mask in early game. Somewhere around ante 3, I used Ankh to duplicate Wee Joker. After that, I picked up Odd Todd and Bull. The gold cards created in early game kept my cash high for the Bull, and a wheel of fortune applied foil to Odd Todd.

This took me to Big Blind in Ante 10, although I wish I'd skipped Big Blind, because that would've doubled my money (around $50) which might've boosted Bull enough to make it past the next Boss Blind.
