- Straights - destroy cards not being in the straight you wanna play
- Flushes - Use a wild cards on aces for easier royal flush and A/2/3/4/5 straight flushes or on 6 if you focus on numbered cards straights flushes, shift cards not of suit you want to play into a specific suit, high hand size maybe could morph more cards out of sigil.
