53:39 I know he's playing fast, I'm not being a hater. I am just curious how good his jokers are here. If he put his common fortune teller in slot one as the flat multer, it would still get the poly chrome affect, but it would also get multed by the 3 uncommons and constellation. I think he made it alot harder for himself and still pilled it through. Congrats 🎉

[@humanthursday199]

For those of you wondering, by my count he played 19 hands with space joker. 5 of those were hits, meaning space joker hit at about a 26% efficacy. Unfortunately, 3 of those 5 hits were wasted on high card. Lv 5 Flush would've probably been helpful, but the benefit from the spectral cards was undoubtedly a contributing factor to the run's success.
