1. Performance & Stability: The infamous "Endless Mode lag" on later antes (Ante 12+) is nearly eradicated. Where the launch version would stutter during massive xMult triggers, v101n handles 40+ joker effects with smooth 60fps.
2. UI/UX Overhaul:

   Pro tip: In v101n, always take Hermit or Temperance over a mediocre Joker in Ante 1. Economy wins runs more than a weak scaling Joker ever will.

   Blue Seals: Completely reworked to create a Planet card of the final poker hand played in a round, making them one of the most powerful deck-thinning/scaling tools.

   • “Eternal” + “Polychrome” + “Holographic” : If you have three Jokers with different editions, gain “Rainbow Trinity”: X1.5 Mult per edition type (stacks multiplicatively).
   • “Gros Michel” + “Cavendish” : If Cavendish appears while Gros Michel is in your inventory (not destroyed), Cavendish gains “Banana Empire”: Retrigger all banana Jokers twice.
   • “Madness” + “Ceremonial Dagger” : Instead of destroying a random Joker, they now consume the leftmost Joker together. If they eat the same Joker? Madness gains permanent X0.25 Mult and Dagger gains +20 Chips.
