Stencil gives x1 mult per empty joker slot, with stencil also counting as empty for this. 4 stencils with no other jokers means each stencil sees 5 empty slots, meaning each is giving x5. That results in a total of x5^4^, or x625. Level up whatever hand you're playing, and you can get some crazy scores.
damn i shoulda thought of that
~~Doesn't Stencil just give mult based on empty slots? In this case you have x1 four times?~~ Ok, so Stencil includes itself as empty slot. Had to check the wiki
Always felt it was a low-level joker. It could take you far, but only just. Any way to reach e scores with it?
