[cloud sinew]

i wanna get a streak of 3 real quick, someone pick a deck that isnt black/nebula/green/erratic/plasma

[wintry ice]

zodiac

[pale wolf]

plasmatic

[cloud sinew]

LETS GOOOO

thank you vic

[unreal island]

nebula bc i hate u (jk twin)

[wintry ice]

do people prefer hanged man or 10$

[unreal island]

depends

[shell seal]

Depends

Situational

[cloud sinew]

LMAO okay

[unreal island]

free win

gg

[cloud sinew]

investment tag into two hand win on the big blind into a stickerless supernova...

[pale wolf]

sucks that supernova isnt usable on non blue :c

[wintry ice]

is shortcut ever a consideration with stm

[cloud sinew]

not really

[pale wolf]

for the sticker maybe

[shell seal]

Its not

[pale wolf]

lol

[unreal island]

why would u go for a 5 card hand with stm

[cloud sinew]

funny

RIFF <3

[wintry ice]

my mind went "mm +30 chips with ease to draw"

[unreal island]

eternal......... dagger fodder.................

[shell seal]

Always bet in the riff raff build

[cloud sinew]

okay

[unreal island]

it could be a natneg rebate!

[pale wolf]

I could just pivot high card supernova now i guess

[shell seal]

It could be all the natneg commons

[pale wolf]

ngl i hate nova games

[deft sedge]

Address Me

[cloud sinew]

i think its fair to just

call this run a win

[wintry ice]

could take vamp

[cyan ocean]

oh no

[lyric shore]

it's always loseable

[cloud sinew]

how well does that mesh with your STM with steels though?

[unreal island]

ante 3

not bad

[cloud sinew]

not if youre me :3

[unreal island]

free money

🤤

[wintry ice]

isn't it advised to not play steel queens anyways

[deft sedge]

Why not

[cloud sinew]

yeah i was more just meaning that it would eat your steel queens, but the odds of you having only steel queens is so small

and if you have all steel queens, one less steel isnt gonna be that big of a deal

[wintry ice]

i'm replacing faceless because it's somewhat risky

[cloud sinew]

good call

[wintry ice]

awesome

[cloud sinew]

you have rebate as security

[wintry ice]

3oak stm?

[cloud sinew]

😭 okay i guess we're winning

[cloud sinew]

uhhhhhhhh

[dense wraith]

black deck try not to lose in the first ante challenge (I had a blueprint round 1)

[wintry ice]

did you end up losing the supernova run

[cloud sinew]

hand levels?

[cloud sinew]

i did :( i just didnt wanna admit it

[unreal island]

bp round 1 🥀

ultra bait

[wintry ice]

g

[lyric shore]

i curse you never to draw the blue seal

[cloud sinew]

i appreciate you asking though as it made it easier to admit i messed up /gen

[deft sandal]

playing the inflation challenge and I got three spare trousers lmao, ante 1 got it and Ankh, then I used $19 to buy a invis and copy the 3rd one

[wintry ice]

happens a lot to me

[unreal island]

i hate balatro inflationj

prices are always so steep

[cloud sinew]

money...

[lunar zealot]

Ew wtf

negative 16 smackaroos

[cloud sigil]

aw hell nah

[cloud sinew]

idk what youre talking about

[pale wolf]

strange

[deft sandal]

I hate how it counts as a purchase for rerolling, I think It should only be counted when you buy things from the shop

[lunar zealot]

I feel like i'm playing cities skylines with the debt

[wintry ice]

i am getting so many hermits from purple seals holy shit

[lunar zealot]

fire

[pale wolf]

52+12=30

[lunar zealot]

Me with a suspiciously deck shaped stomach

[cloud sinew]

[wintry ice]

i mildly regret going high card because i'm missing out on a ton of vamp scaling

[lunar zealot]

Yo mama missed out on a ton of vamp scaling

[livid loom]

dont think ive ever had a build where flower pot was worth a damn until today

[unreal island]

to do list gotta be the most situational goat

[wintry ice]

okay camembert

you're so cheese that you are literally cheese

[livid loom]

supernova on high card 71, green joker on 91

[cloud sinew]

goodbye faceless

TDL is on pair again

[lunar zealot]

the betrayal

manifesting seed money btw

If you don't get seed money that means you're

like

[atomic forum]

very challenging

[lunar zealot]

a sinner or something

[cloud sinew]

i am so its okay

[twin lantern]

me when ragebait meets a chill person:

[wintry ice]

[lunar zealot]

[twin lantern]

[lunar zealot]

[cloud sinew]

jesus fucking christ

[twin lantern]

what?

??

[cloud sinew]

ramen and stuntman in shop when im running lobotomy

[twin lantern]

am i misisng something?

[viral raft]

umpopular opinion: Faceless joker is great but people don't like it because they only play face builds and Rebate exist

[twin lantern]

OHH

bruh

I'm so stupid

sorry

[lunar zealot]

manifesting purple seal in standard pack that you draw every round

[cloud sinew]

its okay

[lunar zealot]

Mwahahahahaha

Im only gonna get 6 hours of sleep tonight gang

i think i want to die

hoooooly shit

[livid loom]

ggs!

[night turret]

Should I sell to get something better?

I’m running plasma

[wintry ice]

oh shit

[livid loom]

chad isn't doing much in this build since most of ur chips are from jokers (i think)

[nova junco]

I'd say sell loyalty if it wasn't holo

[wintry ice]

i forgot to take directors

[livid loom]

what's ur deck looking like?

[cloud sinew]

if it weren't so late...

[wintry ice]

no plant thank goodness

[pale wolf]

hologram is a joker that scales xmult when you remove cards from your deck

[night turret]

Ermmm

[west copper]

Dude jokerless is so assssss

[livid loom]

def sell chad

[night turret]

Chad out of all things?

[livid loom]

it's not doing much in this build

[night turret]

Alright let’s see

Bruh

[shell seal]

Lusty jonkler

[livid loom]

...synergy with crafty joker at least

[lunar zealot]

why did you sell chad

[twilit panther]

Do I give up smiley or tribe

[lunar zealot]

Literally 0 synergy btw

[pale wolf]

what a pack

[lunar zealot]

you're on plasma deck

[lunar zealot]

BBC

[shell seal]

I would keep chad for that card with extra chips and talisman

[lunar zealot]

BBC

BBC

BBC

BBC

[pale wolf]

hmmmm

[pale grotto]

BBC is not good

[pale wolf]

sure

[lunar zealot]

I dont even care if it's suboptimal here

[pale wolf]

i win this clean sweep

[livid loom]

baseball card wouldn't work amazingly here 😔

[lunar zealot]

I LOVE BBC

[pale grotto]

Is great

[night turret]

Andddd that’s the run

[livid loom]

it's not bad but it's definitely situational

[dense wraith]

It's been a while since I've taken a speculative baron

[lunar zealot]

What are you talking about

[pale wolf]

i still havent used acrobat once this game

lol

[lunar zealot]

It will continue to be a while

[night turret]

The mult I got wasn’t good either

[shell seal]

Oh gosh

[lunar zealot]

do not take it

[cloud sinew]

wheres blackboard when u need it smh

[pale wolf]

you have an open slot

[lunar zealot]

blackboard is on vacation in hong kong

[wintry ice]

awesome

[dense wraith]

oh yeah not a good idea at all with black deck

[lunar zealot]

Alternaticely sell everything and reroll down for photochad

Trust

[shell seal]

And it cost u so much money

[cloud sinew]

huh

[livid loom]

maybe a stupid question but where'd "speculative baron" come from? i imagine it's a reference to some youtuber but i wouldn't know off the top of my head

[lunar zealot]

from stupid people

[night turret]

I summon him to your next shop

[lunar zealot]

speculative baron is a Very not Smart decision

[shell seal]

I think speculative come from the dictionary

:

[pale wolf]

totally unnecessary xmult

[lunar zealot]

YOU SKIPPED BASEBALL CARD?

[dense wraith]

basically you hope you can build into something that doesn't do much at all at the moment after picking it up (or die trying if it's baron)

[lunar zealot]

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS ZEBRA

[pale wolf]

yea i decided i didnt want to die to vv after being on a mean losing streak

[livid loom]

oh i meant the term itself

[pale wolf]

heh

[livid loom]

like who coined it lol

[lunar zealot]

I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENDS

[cloud sinew]

hologram... hologram... hologram... GOODBYE CLOUD 9

[lunar zealot]

I say as i fall down the bottomless pit

[lunar zealot]

but cloud 9 loves you

[somber nebula]

[spiral cairn]

Vagabond is so ass bro

[cloud sinew]

okay bye stuntman (groker is at +45, my high card is at 167x17)

[shell seal]

Did u sell jimbo?

[cloud sinew]

it was marginally optimal to sell green joker for the glass red seal

anyway thats win number 1 :3

[wintry ice]

i may or may not have discarded too many queens

oops

[pale wolf]

this game wasnt even fun it was so easy
i need to streak now

[fading mango]

never seen negative tribe, it looks sick

[cloud sinew]

oops

[wintry ice]

i just saw that i had no steel and accepted my death

[cloud sinew]

holy shit

[pale wolf]

also i bought magic trick ante 6
got 2 playing cards in shop the rest of the run

thanks hologram

[wintry ice]

angy

[fading mango]

[cloud sinew]

god i suck so bad

[terse vale]

flush house no contest

[cloud sinew]

AAAAAH

[fading mango]

i remember the very first time doing this and being in absolute awe

[cloud sinew]

holy shit

holy shit

[wintry ice]

sad

[fading mango]

secret hands

[cloud sinew]

CREDIT CARD IN THE BUFFOON PACK

[pale wolf]

credit card???

[fading mango]

aw

[pale wolf]

Yooo

oh eternal.... welp

[cloud sinew]

eternal cc is worth it here

[pale wolf]

ADA run

[terse vale]

[nova junco]

CREDIT CARD IN THE BUFFOON FOR REAL THIS TIME

[shell seal]

ccitbp??

Gosh

[nova junco]

You gotta take it come on

[pale wolf]

ccibpt*

[terse vale]

holy

[pale wolf]

smh

[nova junco]

Credit card run

[shell seal]

What t stands for?

[terse vale]

one dead slot for an amazing start

[nova junco]

Reverse black deck

And if black deck is hard then this must be good right

[fading mango]

btw heres a little thing i just learned, if you have tribe and you play a 4 of a kind same color but add an extra 5th card to make it a flush it still counts

despite that card not scoring

[cloud sinew]

because the played hand contains a flush :3

[nova junco]

Yes that's what "contains" does different than "played hand is"

[fading mango]

it still feels counter intuitive because in my mind its always card needs to score

[cloud sinew]

it's not "played hand is", it's "played hand contains"

[terse vale]

thats weird

[nova junco]

It is

[terse vale]

I thought cards needed to score to count in a hand

but maybe i’m thinking of a different hand

[cloud sinew]

the played hand contains a flush, but the played hand isnt a flush

[nova junco]

Yes, and this is the difference between the 2
If it was "played hand is" like to do list then it wouldn't have worked

[shell seal]

Yep

[fading mango]

this is fun to watch

[night turret]

So ifs a royal flush, it still counts

Got it

[fading mango]

yes

that would count

its a flush

[terse vale]

well ya

[cloud sinew]

well the played hand isnt a flush, the played hand contains a flush.

[nova junco]

You could have a straight and have the duo still trigger

[terse vale]

i’m just stuck on the fact that the card making the flush doesn’t score and its messing me up

[nova junco]

It's very logic-y yeah

[cloud sinew]

with 4F the pair still scores funnily enough

[pale wolf]

trust

[fading mango]

ye thats a fair point, but i think for the tribe what makes it interesting with a 4 of a kind is the last card just does nothing

thats why it feels out of place

although makes perfect sense that it works

[nova junco]

Oh it does? Lmao I thought it would go unscored

[pale wolf]

theres a few interesting interactions with how hands are determined, with shortcut and ff as well

[terse vale]

it scores both cus it cant choose which one to score I think

[nova junco]

It can choose

[nova junco]

The same way it chooses between pair and 3oak

[pale wolf]

thats not analogous

[terse vale]

wdym

[fading mango]

speaking of choosing hands, does you guys wish there was a button to prioritize hands so if you accidentally play a 4f you can make it a flush

[terse vale]

3oak is higher so the hand gets scored as that if thats what you mean

[nova junco]

Logically it is
Checks all the hands that could be made with the played cards and picks the highest one in the hands list

[pale wolf]

a ff straight with 22345 will score both 2s

[cloud sinew]

thats not the same thing. thats a unique poker hand condition and it picks the one that's higher on the listing in Run Info;
the cards themselves dont have a priority because theyre the same rank

[pale wolf]

@nova junco

[cloud sinew]

thats not the same thing. we're not talking about poker hand conditions, we're talking about card scoring conditions

[nova junco]

if u have a 4f straight with another unpaired card does it still score?

[pale wolf]

no

[nova junco]

Genuinely asking btw

[cloud sinew]

no. but if you have a pair it scores

despite there being no "straight pair" hand type

[spiral cairn]

no i got 2 negatives then lost to water

[pale wolf]

unless its part of the straight ofc

[nova junco]

Oh wow

[spiral cairn]

what to take

[nova junco]

I need to do a 4F run

[cloud sinew]

photo

[nova junco]

Photo absolutely

[spiral cairn]

thank

[shell seal]

Yep photo

[spiral cairn]

buskin photo and smiley i just got

insane

[cloud sinew]

non-eternal rentals my beloved

[spiral cairn]

and throwback holu

[cloud sinew]

just got a non-eternal rental trading card... free* $3 and -1 card

[spiral cairn]

cracked run

[somber nebula]

non-rental eternal my beloved

[pale wolf]

fixed

[terse vale]

I don’t know why everyone is saying photo

[shell seal]

Why not?

[somber nebula]

i sell photo? and get trib 🤤

[terse vale]

cus ramen is there

[shell seal]

Smiley face gets more value from photo

Is like +10 for the first smiley joker hit

[terse vale]

droll gets value from ramen too on the other hand 👀

[somber nebula]

make flushes without discards

rip hands and money

[shell seal]

But early u cant get flushes that consistenly

[terse vale]

if it wasn’t checkered deck I would probably pick photo yeah

[wintry ice]

worth keeping for longer

[shell seal]

Oh

I didnt see the deck

Lol

[somber nebula]

oh it was checker

[shell seal]

Mb

Hold r

[cloud sinew]

flouse run my beloved

[shell seal]

Lol

[pale wolf]

That's what carried my god run earlier

plus early immolate was wild

[night turret]

Thinking about getting supernova

Should I replace it by selling abstract

[shell seal]

Bean probably

[cloud sinew]

i lost again...

i might be cooked

[dark cairn]

any tips for golden needle?

i have a plan for jokerless but i dont really know what to do for golden needle

[shell seal]

Good luck

[cloud sinew]

how did i manage to get a streak of 3 on green but i cant get a single win on zodiac

[cloud sinew]

well no i won before but i havent gotten two in a row yet

[lyric shore]

green must be better

[cloud sinew]

surely

[shell seal]

Try to get a good early econ joker

[cloud sinew]

i got a streak of 4 on black before as well! black must be the best

[wintry ice]

gruh (balatrodle)

[cloud sinew]

meanwhile my 13 streak on checkered:

[shell seal]

I just beat golden needle today and was with rocket ante 1

[violet bear]

man every single time i get myself a campfire run i always end up baffled at how absurd it is

[cloud sinew]

golden needle win without rebate!? unheard of

[cloud sinew]

and it used to be even more absurd

it used to be 0.5x per 😭

[violet bear]

thats insane

[wintry ice]

it was like obelisk

what the heck

[violet bear]

with rentals its just so free

[cloud sinew]

how would people feel about an econ joker based on the sell value of your jokers
(weaker temperance every round basically)

[cloud sinew]

yeah rentals help campfire out so much

[blissful cedar]

But we have temperance and swashbuckler

[violet bear]

hmmmmmmm

like every consumable loses 1$ of worth and you gain that amount?

[vocal quartz]

i got a polychrome bloodstone ante 1 <3

[blissful cedar]

I never know how to get an obelisk run going, it seems like it only works late runs where you're getting alot of planets and have a flexible deck

[wintry ice]

gives 1$ every round for every 3 sell value?

[blissful cedar]

I always get it early or my strongest hand low as shit

[wintry ice]

you have to get hand-unconditional jokers

which are pretty common for gold stake builds

[shell seal]

--gift card-- X thief card

[violet bear]

quite easy, spam a hand a million of times and then spam every other hand to scale obelisk to the moon to win

[wintry ice]

just play a pair or flush or whatever 12-20 times

[violet bear]

and then you got yourself a 3x in one ante

and then it becomes a 7x

[pale wolf]

I feel this

I think the game got harder the past week

[violet bear]

hmmmmmm

[terse dock]

Feels a bit swingy if its just straight sell value

[tardy spade]

Earn $1 at end of round for every $2 of total sell value of all jokers

[terse dock]

Actually no it doesnt if it's straight sell value then its really strong once you get past like ante 5

[plush osprey]

play straights

[tardy spade]

don't skip

[terse dock]

Win

[pale wolf]

should it be better or worse than perkeo with temperance

[terse dock]

Worse

[pale wolf]

I think the rarity determines a lot

[terse dock]

Make it uncommon

[vocal quartz]

i ankh’d it before i got another joker im so happy

all i need is the dice

[terse dock]

Good luck

[tardy spade]

what about swashbuckler for chips?

[pale wolf]

please no more

one trashbucklers enough

maybe it'll be a Bull and bootstraps situation though

[spiral cairn]

fk this game

level 10 flush for what

checkerd deck for what

[pale wolf]

why didn't you spend your money

if you're being forced to play a flush

[spiral cairn]

I had 300

i spent it all

[warped wave]

still on the gold stake grind....

[pale wolf]

That is not

[spiral cairn]

and i got that

[terse dock]

Read the boss blind

[wintry ice]

sure you did

[opal pivot]

H- HOW MUCH MONEY.... S- SI -SIX.... SEVEEEE

[spiral cairn]

From skipped blind

[pale wolf]

That's 70 more dollars you had to spend

[spiral cairn]

im going to diddle you

[terse dock]

What the fuck are you doing skipping

Sell the fucking throwback

[pale wolf]

well skipping is a mistake, don't be tricked by throwback

throwback is retroactive on purpose

[spiral cairn]

but its

good

[vocal quartz]

do i death for another jacked jack or hermit

[pale wolf]

It's so good you're losing right now?

[warped wave]

advice?

[spiral cairn]

OH SHIT IM NOT ON BLUE STAKE

[shell seal]

That actually broke me

[spiral cairn]

MY DUMBASS HAS BEEN SKIPPING EVERY SMALL

I FORGOT

oops

[pale wolf]

That's still a terrible option below red stake

above I mean

[shell seal]

Dont ever skip lol

Just for emergency

[pale wolf]

there's reasons to skip but it's not because the shop isn't giving you money

[shell seal]

Or ante 1 investment tag

[tardy spade]

skipping for econ right before a boss blind that resets your econ...

[vocal quartz]

help i’m crippled with indecision

[spiral cairn]

nvm i got 200k with a 2 pair

[pale wolf]

my thoughts again

[warped wave]

thoughts?

[pale wolf]

are you playing pairs

[warped wave]

flushes

[spiral cairn]

if yes then what

do i sell somethinh

[pale wolf]

[warped wave]

thats all I've played in my last 211 runs

[vocal rose]

nasty

[warped wave]

got 60 more in since yesterday

[violet bear]

mega arcana skip on magic deck my beloved

[pale wolf]

my thought is stop

[spiral cairn]

hlep

what to sell for it

[vocal quartz]

why hello blueprint

[dark otter]

nat negative chicot

lost cuz i didn’t get idol

🙏

[pale wolf]

smiley probably

[shell seal]

Throwback

[viral raft]

Which joker should be 100% reworked?

[spiral cairn]

smiley or throwback

[pale wolf]

none

[viral raft]

imo seánce, that shit suck ahh

[spiral cairn]

but i have 3.5x on it

[viral raft]

I mean, some of them should

the game is very wel balanced but things like matador exist

[pale wolf]

some of them need reworks but not full changes

[shell seal]

Then smiley

[viral raft]

facts

[spiral cairn]

alr thrn

[warped wave]

does anyone have actual advice for the run?

[terse dock]

Baron

[viral raft]

but what about séance?

[pale wolf]

seance is fine

[shell seal]

Loyalty

Seance is situational

[viral raft]

really? i tried to play seánce alot with SF builds and suck ahh

i'd rather superposition

[vocal rose]

???

[willow frost]

swap the cola for the clown idk

[pale wolf]

The prerequisite for getting a spectral card is to draw a straight with specifically 2 of the suits you have as your held in hand tarot
Not counting just fully fixed decks

It's okay as it is

[shell seal]

But its so much effort for so little reward

[pale wolf]

if anything sixth Sense is too good

[warped wave]

I still have coca cola for baseball card

[pale wolf]

it should strength the sixes instead of destroying them

[vocal rose]

rebate needs to be nerfed by some margin

[lost vault]

idol

[vocal rose]

100%

[plush osprey]

nah

[lost vault]

idol is unusable in most runs

[plush osprey]

nah

[vocal rose]

rebate is so good that you’re throwing the run 99.9% of times you don’t take it even with stickers and it’s only GOING to get better with the blue stake rework

[viral raft]

still, playing around seánce isn't the best because spectrals doesn't help you alot to the straight flush build, maybe Sigil or Cryptid but the others have nothing to do to support SF builds

[vocal rose]

it definitely does it’s so good it’s unbalanced above every other joker

[pale wolf]

yeah seance is definitely not a good Joker I just don't think it needs to be either

[shell seal]

No all the runs need a rebate in it

[viral raft]

i mean, is a uncommon, in theory should be mostly good

[pale wolf]

hard no

[viral raft]

most of the best jokers are uncommon

[pale wolf]

there should be duds in every rarity except legendary

[plush osprey]

nah, it’s very good but it’s probably the hardest econ joker to use

it balances out

[vocal rose]

rebate hardest econ joker to use?

🤣

[pale wolf]

are you trolling

[plush osprey]

name a harder one

[pale wolf]

faceless

[floral mural]

rebate is hard to use?

[vocal rose]

no

[viral raft]

are u dumb?

[vocal rose]

well for him

[pale wolf]

just worse rebate

[vocal rose]

it might be

[plush osprey]

i guess marginally

[willow frost]

lmao

[pale wolf]

Delayed gratification

[viral raft]

Faceless is good but rebate exist

[floral mural]

rebate is like simple to use

[plush osprey]

okay yeah that’s true

optimising rebate is very difficult

[floral mural]

discard this rank for cash is easy to do

[pale wolf]

rough gem

[plush osprey]

so it should reward that

[pale wolf]

necessarily, playing specific cards is more costly than discarding certain cards

[plush osprey]

rough gem is easy it’s just bad

[floral mural]

as if you need to optimise it it makes fucking 10 dollars a round on average

rough gem is solid?

[pale wolf]

explain why it's very difficult to just play hands until you see the cards you need to discard

[twin lantern]

nat neg Legendary is crazy

[floral mural]

like an inoffensive econ joker is fine

[vocal rose]

esp with pairs being a thing

[floral mural]

not every econ joker has to be godly econ like rebate

pls at least nerf rebate to 4 dollars instead of 5

[plush osprey]

throwing away a hand for rebate is inherently worse than using a discard for something like rough gem

hands are valuable

[warped wave]

I lost.

[pale wolf]

except that rough gem will give you five, maybe 10 with synergy

[warped wave]

sigh*

[pale wolf]

and rebate has a high likelihood of giving you $15 or more

[floral mural]

i had a hand scaling build earlier with a chad rough gem and that was baller

[pale wolf]

Not to mention that burning hands is good for many of the best Jokers

[plush osprey]

yeah but the level of min maxing to do that is difficult

it should be rewarded

[terse dock]

yall fw popcorn

[pale wolf]

remaining hand money isn't a huge Factor especially past ante 2

[plush osprey]

popcorn is good

[pale wolf]

It's not difficult at all

[lost vault]

is it really

[pale wolf]

It's like maybe the next step up from just spamming cards

[floral mural]

10 dollars is already really good to get from an econ joker over a round

[plush osprey]

it’s not money, it’s about throwing no away hands when you need to score

[lost vault]

you shouldnt get an op joker for using something a little more complicated than other jokers

[floral mural]

its fine. not reliable enough for me to care

[pale wolf]

if you're going to die you don't greed for rebate anyways, you just let it passively give you more money than most of the other economy Jokers anyways

[floral mural]

popcorn is just another early flat mult option imo

inoffensive but im not calling it that good

[pale wolf]

4 20 baybeeeeee

[terse dock]

yall fw ice cream

[pale wolf]

fuck ice cream

[plush osprey]

ice cream is goated

[pale wolf]

I know ice cream is fine but it makes me feel like I'm playing the tooth every single blind

[terse dock]

thatd hurt

[floral mural]

ice cream is neat unless you run hand scaling thats rhe worlds biggest anti synergy

[willow frost]

itd be chill

i dont even look at icecream if it dies it dies

[simple bronze]

Do I sell supernova?

[floral mural]

not biggest but like

[zinc forge]

Uhhhhh

[plush osprey]

ice cream plus square is a certified gamer synergy

[dark otter]

unseeded both

unseeded both

[dark otter]

on saturday i also got this

[willow frost]

sell if it gets to 5 chips but dont care that much

[pale wolf]

this is actually good

[floral mural]

damn you burn through ice cream fast when scaling hand scalers

[pale wolf]

on Blue Deck you only get four rounds of ice cream

[plush osprey]

i’m saying

[twin lantern]

it hurts SO much that that constellation is $6 away 😭

but damn

crazy

[willow frost]

negative yorick looks sick

new top 5

[dark otter]

ikr

[plush osprey]

i love how the editions look on legendary

[dark otter]

yeah it does but i’m still yet to get perkeo

[plush osprey]

great job thunk

[dark otter]

but i’ve gotten two nat negative legendaries

[zinc forge]

How can I get better than this I cant ever get past ante 14

[willow frost]

lmao

gl

[plush osprey]

baron mime

ectoplasm

[terse dock]

score does not equal skill

[willow frost]

swap the photo for a trib/sock

photo only gives one x2

[zinc forge]

Well I know that but I see people all the time hitting ante 20 consistently with random seeds

And I can get seeds like that one but I can’t ever figure out what to do when I get that far

[pale wolf]

when you see people doing that consistently how do you know its consistent

and not cherry picked

[zinc forge]

That’s fair

[pale wolf]

like roffle loses like 60% of his runs

on stream

[vocal warren]

these COMEDIANS

[zinc forge]

Hitting ante 8 is pretty easy for me now but after that it’s so hard which I get it’s supposed to be

[pale wolf]

these people play for content not consistency, but drspectred did have a stint where he was getting ante 10 as a goal instead of ante 8 gold stakes

[vocal warren]

They definitely think this is funny. this is the FOURTH TIME

[acoustic kettle]

Well the main game is ante 8 anyway

[lost vault]

yall fw dagger

[vocal warren]

yes

absolutely

[terse dock]

yeah actually

[lost vault]

yay

[terse dock]

its grown into me

[lost vault]

mwah

[terse dock]

😳

[vocal warren]

Dagger is chefs kiss

[cosmic sun]

it what

[terse dock]

get it

because its a dagger

[lost vault]

only this once

[terse dock]

and daggers can stab

[cosmic sun]

[pale wolf]

STABBER!!!!!!

hahaha!!!

[vocal warren]

HAHAHAHAHA

-# can i come out of the basement now

[pale wolf]

Stabamonial Stabber

[lost vault]

nyahaha

stablatro

[warped wave]

hold on I think I got a shot here

[vocal warren]

my five of a kind is lvl four

its ante 3 btw

i love orbital tag

[vocal quartz]

it’s beautiful

[pale wolf]

@cloud sinew i have nuggets and im gonna go for the 2 streak

[tardy spade]

probably time I leartned how to play red card

[cyan ocean]

i JUST bought gros michel
and it died INSTANTLY

[vocal warren]

i dided

[pale wolf]

this is the start of a world record streak btw 500 blue

[lost vault]

4 bloodstones and so few triggers

[vocal warren]

that happens to me too and it makes me cry but remember that now u can get cavendish

I think???

[vocal quartz]

i know 🥀

[dark cairn]

how is jokerless challenge supposed to be possible

[vocal warren]

Do you need to get gros michel to get cavendish

[vocal warren]

Planet packs

[vocal quartz]

glass polychrome red seals and planets

[dark cairn]

and then you dont get what you need

[pale wolf]

saturn has a lot of scaling

[dark cairn]

ah so its just restarting for the 1/12378956734895392 rng you need

[pale wolf]

blue seals guarantee you

[vocal warren]

hold pls i don't remember the name of the voucher

[pale wolf]

no

[haughty carbon]

Is it time for me to hate on obelisk or nah

[dark cairn]

ive been opening every standard pack and havent seen one blue seal

[haughty carbon]

@pale wolf what do you think

[dark cairn]

and ive done like 20 attempts

[vocal quartz]

if you only get tarot, spectral, and planet cards anyways it’s not that difficult to fix your deck and get planets

[vocal warren]

Telescope

[lost vault]

ngl you dont even need too much rng for jokerless to my knowledge

[pale wolf]

thats unlucky but surmountable

people streak jokerless its not rng

[dark cairn]

focus your money on that and you die to scaling

[vocal warren]

also open spectrals

[haughty carbon]

JUST GIT GUD

[vocal warren]

find trance

[vocal quartz]

what else are you gonna buy 🥀

[vocal warren]

you got this i believe in u

[dark cairn]

what spectrals? there havent been any

[lost vault]

precisely

[vocal warren]

I believe in u mr. mega 🫡

[simple bronze]

Joker less is easy

[haughty carbon]

It's just about gitting gud

[simple bronze]

Golden needle is the hardest challenge

[dark cairn]

and other lies you can tell yourself

[vocal quartz]

fuck golden needle i agree

[dark cairn]

what? the poker game is rng? impossible!

[haughty carbon]

Just play straights or smth

[vocal warren]

Rebuttal:

I actually think Typecast is the worst

[pale wolf]

not a poker game tbh

[simple bronze]

I don’t remember that one

[vocal warren]

Unless you have scaling jokers

[simple bronze]

I beat everything first try excape for blast off and golden needle

[dark cairn]

typecast was annoying but this is smthn else

[tardy spade]

get scaling jokers then

[pale wolf]

this game is about flattening rng and reducing its effect in your runs

[dark cairn]

sure you did

[vocal warren]

Typecast is the one that sticks you with the amount of jokers u have at ante 4

[haughty carbon]

Yall need to get grimbo and square joker every run

They're goated

[vocal warren]

my rng bad :(

[simple bronze]

Sooo just painted deck?

[pale wolf]

https://youtu.be/oIrrCu9WcS4?si=ZBX_BD0ANVTUWGhp

[vocal warren]

No painted deck gives u four

[haughty carbon]

Whys bro so mad that he sucks at jokerless

[tardy spade]

make your RNG good

[dark cairn]

0/10 ragebait

[vocal warren]

Typecast sets the joker count to zero and won't let you sell anything

All the jokers become eternal

I hate it

[haughty carbon]

?????

[vocal warren]

it makes me crazy

[pale wolf]

drspectred is simply rage baiting all of the people that can't streak Jokerless

[haughty carbon]

Doc is the goat

[vocal quartz]

i played only lucky cards and got no triggers i’m so sad

[simple bronze]

I don’t remember that challenge idk sounds like a skill issue

[vocal warren]

they think this is funny

[pale wolf]

Typecast isn't that difficult to be honest

[simple bronze]

Pick better jokers

[warped wave]

I lost again...

[vocal warren]

That would actually make me crash out so bad ngl

[floral mural]

isnt typecast basically just finding a good enough build to beat white stake in 4 antes

when white stake can be beaten in diabolical looking ways

[vocal warren]

my rng gets astronomically worse when i do challenges guys 😞

[acoustic kettle]

The ante scaling is so little that typecast is really easy

[plush osprey]

i remember when i did typecast i took a double negative skip

[vocal warren]

ok im getting off erratic deck

this deck pmo

[plush osprey]

and only after realised you can’t take negatives if you’re over the joker cap

[tender quarry]

Typecast is easy but it's still my favourite challenge

I just think it's neat

[spiral cairn]

sad

[vocal warren]

time to gold stake yellow deck

[acoustic kettle]

Naneinf on typecast

[spiral cairn]

it went from 40 to 300

[vocal warren]

wish me luck chat 🫡

[unreal iron]

normalize selling the hex on ghost deck

actual free $ of interest

[plush osprey]

yeah

it’s the optimal play

[tender quarry]

I think WR for fastest naneinf is actually ante 4 so

[vocal quartz]

chat ima be honest i still haven’t gotten the $400 unlock someone give me some advice

[unreal iron]

ante 5 small blind seeded*

i think

[plush osprey]

endless

[pale wolf]

hi syn!

[tardy spade]

anaglyph deck econ skip

[unreal iron]

money tree and find like rebate or something

i did it with money tree and trading card

same run that i did 20 cards achievement

[acoustic kettle]

Normalise money tree on green deck

[unreal iron]

hell yes

[vocal warren]

the game has spoken

Flush run

[tender quarry]

😔

[pale wolf]

interest mechanics should enable interest on green

ttm/vouchers

[vocal warren]

wait dang i just wasted a hand

[unreal iron]

i feel that makes green deck busted no?

[vocal warren]

I could've sealed with a straight

🤦🏽‍♀️

[unreal iron]

i mean 2$ a hand is nothing to scoff at but its counter balanced with no interest

[vocal warren]

NATURALLY POLYCHROME JIMBO???

[unreal iron]

adding interest just because you bought seed money/ttm is crazy

[vocal warren]

I havent sees a polychrome jimbo before btw

this is my first time

[terse dock]

hes gay and he wants money

[unreal iron]

perishable rental 🔥🔥🔥

[warped wave]

luck build

[vocal warren]

I got him

[acoustic kettle]

Maybe make it so it's the tier 2 effect

[vocal warren]

ETERNAL ASTRONOMER

[unreal iron]

wdym

[vocal warren]

dude this run might be the run

yes i got it

[unreal iron]

actually not too bad of a pickup in all honesty

[plush osprey]

i think they just shouldn’t show up on green

[unreal iron]

free celestial packs is nothing to scoff at

[tardy spade]

ttm should enable interest on green deck.
Seed money shouldn't unless you already have ttm

[pale wolf]

NO

[acoustic kettle]

The tier 2 voucher allows green to have the 20 dollar interest cap

[pale wolf]

🤬

[vocal warren]

look at my yokers

[acoustic kettle]

[ivory sun]

o7

[vocal warren]

the wall is coming.

[pale wolf]

why

[lost vault]

the gays got to him 😔

[pale wolf]

I wouldn't want it to still double your interest, you just get base level interest from one of them

[unreal iron]

i still dont like the idea of enabling interest in the deck that specifically has it disabled to be balanced

[vocal warren]

The wall.

its coming.

Fml.

[unreal iron]

ante 2 wall is coming

[vocal warren]

yes dude

[cloud sinew]

either it should not be in the pool or it should enable interest

[vocal warren]

ante 2 wall

[plush osprey]

i don’t think it would be unbalanced, it would just make the green deck less interesting

[vocal warren]

FML

BECAUSE IM ALSO ON GOLD STAKE RIGHT NOW

im looking for constellation

I want constellation rn

[pale wolf]

The voucher would be super worth it, but to the moon would be using a joker slot for $5 extra dollars just like it always is

[plush osprey]

LOCK IN

[unreal iron]

mfs be like "i have a whole niche run ahead of me" fuck nah the wall is coming 😂🫵

[shell seal]

Why do u have 3 +++?

[pale wolf]

fake

[plush osprey]

because i’m better than all of you

[vocal warren]

MA'AM YES MA'AM 🫡

MY LOCK IS IN

[shell seal]

Understand

[unreal iron]

soooo ban face card jokers on abandoned then we have a deal :3

[vocal warren]

hiker

..I can live with that

I like hiker

[unreal iron]

finding stm and faceless joker on abandoned like every fucking run is infuriating

[cloud sinew]

no because you can get face cards on abandoned

[zealous trellis]

wee joker my beloved (this run was such a struggle for the first 6 antes lol)

[plush osprey]

finding shoot the moon in any run is infuriating

[cloud sinew]

pareidolia, adding cards, strength, ouija

[unreal iron]

people hate stm?

[cloud sinew]

whereas you cannot get interest on green deck

[vocal warren]

Jupiter my beloved

[plush osprey]

i don’t hate it it’s just bad

[vocal warren]

im a flush main guys 💔

[unreal iron]

i mean its not that its bad it can work

its a fine early pickup

[cloud sinew]

so can everything, that isnt a good argument

[zealous trellis]

same tbh

[plush osprey]

it can, it just is very variant

[vocal warren]

NOOOOOOO

MY GLASS CARD

FAAAAAAH

[pale wolf]

you can't say this and call yourself better than anybody here tbh

[unreal iron]

bro is SUFFERING

[vocal warren]

I MADE IT LAST ROUND

FAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

[zealous trellis]

also duplicating a wee joker breaks the stamp

[pale wolf]

stm fucks

[plush osprey]

i’m better than you specifically

idk about anyone else

[unreal iron]

please john jimbo give me perishable rentals on black deck with bad draws

[vocal warren]

balatro pls

dont do this to me

[pale wolf]

which metric

[vocal warren]

YES

I WON AGAINST THE WALL

[unreal iron]

holy ego?

[plush osprey]

i have more pluses

[unreal iron]

whoa

[pale wolf]

I've had more in the past

[vocal warren]

HOLY CLUTCH ❤️‍🩹

[unreal iron]

that is true

[unreal iron]

4800 small blind:

[pale wolf]

[vocal warren]

lol

[lost vault]

i dont think they’re being serious

[plush osprey]

photoshop

[unreal iron]

[unreal iron]

i was there its real

not photoshop

[vocal warren]

non.

no :(

non

NO

IM ON MY LAST HAND

THIS BETTER WIN ISTG 💔

[pale wolf]

oh shit I just realized the theming behind acrobat

[vocal warren]

wish it luck guys

[cold forge]

Just got a natural negative misprint from a judgement

[pale wolf]

you have one hand left hanging on

[vocal warren]

YESSSSS

[plush osprey]

acrobat is so good

[unreal iron]

+0 mult procs :3

cool verdant leaf sell

[plush osprey]

childhood is when you idolise card sharp

[vocal warren]

oh hi michel

[plush osprey]

adulthood is realising acrobat makes more sense

[terse vale]

greeen hello

[unreal iron]

grimboooo

[pale wolf]

carp sharp over acro any day tbh

[cold forge]

Also got blueprint ante 1

[vocal warren]

ok so

[plush osprey]

kid named the needle:

[lost vault]

acrobat my beloevd

[vocal warren]

I took the skip tag for two buffoon packs (i had a double tag$

[unreal iron]

yeah imo x3 for 3 hands > x3 for 1

[vocal warren]

Now hear me out

[unreal iron]

acrobat is just not weak to eye

[vocal warren]

this is what i picked up and swapped

[stiff fjord]

kid named chicot:

[pale wolf]

carp sharp loses to more boss blinds but meh

[lyric shore]

could be it, i always thought of the big finish act acrobats do

[vocal warren]

I picked up a perishable crafty

[terse vale]

well acro also kinda gets hurt by needle

[vocal warren]

A perishable four fingers

[terse dock]

carp sharp

[plush osprey]

nope

[vocal warren]

and then i swapped hiker for red card

[terse dock]

bro sharpened a fish

[plush osprey]

it’s 3x mult on needle

[unreal iron]

just restart </3

[vocal warren]

which is a rental

[pale wolf]

ok card shard

[terse vale]

could always just not draw the big hand you need since thats usually why you have acrobat

[vocal warren]

nuh uh

[plush osprey]

only joker that’s BETTER on the needle

[vocal warren]

gotta lock in

[terse dock]

bro broke a glass card

[unreal iron]

burger...

i love burger

[terse vale]

like in a straight run you might wanna use hands to dig for it

[plush osprey]

i recant my statement

[pale wolf]

troubador

[terse vale]

i’m just using situations in which you’d have acrobat to make guesses

[unreal iron]

whats recant .w.

[lost vault]

purr~

[plush osprey]

i already recanted bro leave me alone

[vocal warren]

alr jimbos dead

rip gay jimbo

[terse vale]

acro is better than card sharp on needle ya but that doesn’t mean acro isn’t hurt by it

[unreal iron]

why did you take the gay jimbo 😔

[vocal warren]

he was amazing during his short time

[lost vault]

doomed yaoi but he’s single

[vocal warren]

i needed base mult 😞

[unreal iron]

rental hurts a ton tho

[vocal warren]

ok im restarting this run

[nocturne frost]

On the hunt for the very last gold sticker on black deck (common chips for two pairs)
Has beaten two runs without finding it. Last one was a very successful rocket run but still just couldn't find it.

But C++ with only black deck is going to be achieved.

[vocal warren]

im on yellow deck

[vocal warren]

so rentals aren't hurting me that much

[unreal iron]

it still hurts

[vocal warren]

true

anyways im restarting this run

new run

rip eternal astronomer

[worldly sphinx]

Am I missing something? I have Smeared joker(hearts/diamon and club/spade count as the same)
And I also have flower pot(x3 mult if poker hand has all four suits)

Shouldn’t I get the x3 mult if I make a pair with heart and spade?

[cloud sinew]

no. each only counts for one of the suits, you still need 4 scoring cards at least. two red two black

[pale wolf]

you have 13 deck stake wins, which means...

you won on more than black

[unreal iron]

no you gotta have 4 scoring cards

[cloud sinew]

had to to unlock black

[unreal iron]

audible gasp

[pale wolf]

you don't need to be any decks to unlock black

I already did the

[vocal warren]

The hand you play has to have all the cards scoring.

[nocturne frost]

You do

[pale wolf]

and it's actually really easy

[pale wolf]

no you dont

[cloud sinew]

oh true you dont need to win

[nocturne frost]

You need black stake I believe

[cloud sinew]

its discoveries

[vocal warren]

Which is why I personally use flower pot if i'm playing two pairs

[pale wolf]

100 discoveries

I did it like a few days ago

[vocal warren]

or like

a straight

any hand that uses more than 1 suit by default

[cloud sinew]

full house / straight is the play for flower house

but even then its not consistent

[vocal warren]

true

[nocturne frost]

In any case the goal was to gold sticker everything on black

[unreal iron]

flower pot is goated for disabling verdant leaf 🥰🥰🥰

[vocal warren]

guess who i got

[unreal iron]

yeah im not doing a flower pot run

[violet bear]

Aren’t the decks you unlock those after the “standard” color-named decks?

[nocturne frost]

My extra wins that weren't mandatory were plasma and painted for some joker unlocks
