i beg your pardon
I know I know picking up certificate deletes blue seals from the game
i WILL do third c++ on black deck only
Don’t
too late
You must hate yourself
I am doing it so you don't have to
why are you doing that though
taking most of the enjoyment out of the game
if theyre having fun then not really
maybe then yeah
I’m doing it BECAUSE it would bring me enjoyment
i played nebula for a long time it doesn't suck
yk bc enjoyment is subjective
sometimes
then I'd be happy if you played black deck :)
It doesn't suck in difficulty, it sucks in gameplay
doesn't
Subjective
i loved it, others hate it
If you like spamming one hand and using fewer consumables then go off
aka pair spam
purble stake
aka what you usually do
purple 😭
"jokerless isn't rng" the game spawning only bosses that hard counters what i'm trying to do every single time;
what exactly are you supposed to do if it spawns the arm after youre trying to level up your hand
or if it spawns the wall before you have that chance
and dont say "just enhance some cards" because you know damn well the game wont spawn them when you need them
im pretty sure russian roulette is more skill dependent than this
got a good run today
Dusk:
have you watched any content about jokerless from balatro uni
pmo
if you have red seals...
i watched his gold stake jokerless run like 2 months ago
thats part of why im so pissed off actually
like how is he able to do it on gold stake without the benefit of no jokers appearing in the shop
watch the vid i posted earlier of him 3 streaking
but i cant do it normally
sadly its not the case
this run would go so much harder if it wasnt on a challenge
I just had a horrible idea for a balatro mod
xchips
Balatro but the boss blind effects never go away
Lol
this goes hard
but it would be so horrible to get stuck on water needle for the rest of the run
Now do they like
Collect up as you go
What's your definition of never going away
Cause there's a lot of ways that turns into something impossible
Well that's awfully convenient
luchador disables one random boss blind effect
Most overrated thing on the game?

Whats the easiest deck
to win red stake?
Ye
oh bruh
Red blu Ghost black Yellow checkered old deck
I like yellow or ghost
What
go with ghost
Bruh
or checkered
Ok
Ok
Why people like plasma deck i havent unlocked jt
When i unlock it
Plasma beats itself, ghost is incredibly strong, yellow is underrated
Ok
adds mult and chips and splits them equally
For example, 16 x 2 turns into 9 x 9
this helps a lot of strats by just scoring more
i get like 15 saturn cards
enhance all the cards im playing
and still dont score enough
glass
is this challenge even possible or am i being collectively gaslit
if you have mostly chips or mostly mult it effectively squares your score, but the score requirements are only doubled so you out scale pretty easily if you're silly
yeah
the 0 justice cards that appeared in question
jokerless only took me two tries
someone isn’t tarot blocking 😳
its almost like you dont have money to reroll for tarot cards when you dont have economy jokers 👻
all you need to win jokerless is a blue seal
nat negative juggler, might have a chance at naneinf
and then you never draw it
is that what the doctor said to your mom after you were born
the 0 death and hanged men cards in question:
no why would he say that
yeah you get so many tarots that the deckfixing is kinda trivial
well not trivial, but very manageable
if you get dream luck maybe
i think you have a poor attitude
loses on Jokerless, gets mad
complains about it
replies to any advice with but rng
welp baron run online before ante 8
except thats literally whats been happening
people are able to beat this consistently, its not luck based
ive been trying to do everything youve said for the past hour
you have 3 discards at base and hanged man appears 3.5x as often in shops relative to non-jokerless
and the game literally will not allow it
i mean you've definitely just been playing it poorly
the game would allow it if you played better
jokerless is hard but youre not a perfect player, you are making mistakes in your runs.
you’re getting tilted, take a break
stop gaslighting me
you gotta block for the tarots you want
if you arent seeing the right options its likely not blocking enough or not enough income from overspending past interest cap
you're gaslighting yourself
aw man not my other jokers..
oh wait
finally something that can help me
i was spending past interest cap because i was worried about scoring
if you can safely beat the next round there usually isnt a reason to spend unless you know what you're getting
5PUDCQ5U i sure wonder if the seed works as well outside of the challenge
bro was complaining about econ when he wasn’t even saving for interest
for winning it once you should just reroll for investment on the first small blind i think
surely jokerless is easier than black deck gold stake?
Roll seeds for mega buffoon or top up tag ante 2 me thinks
im watching docs high score jokerless run and it started with an 18 hour grind for a red seal poly (6)
Yeah
hilarious
yeah
im not so sure about that
i am very sure about it
ive beaten black gold plenty of times (4)
lol
on ante 2 😭
although lately I'm struggling on green deck equally as much as black deck
im actually done for
oh fr, black deck gold stake took me a whole session for one win vs jokerless second try without even having a specific strategy
it is, but thats not saying much
at this point im just gonna restart until theres an ante 1 investment tag
i dont care anymore
why cant i beat jokerless
does the game hate me
because your astrological sign is blueprint
no :(
lilo is hiding vital information from me regarding how to win
chat do i invis? deck still needs trading card but idk if i can score w/o arrowhead and chad
yellow deck, immediately sacked the econ for a gift card+sock+seeing double start
a single temperance saved the whole econ in ante 2
planet merchant came in clutch just when I was thinking of a way to scale Constellation fast
quite a good one
invis will hit arrowhead
unlucky
DAMN 8 BALL? WITH A PAIR?
how do u know? not doubting j curious
8 ball my goat
Chad is there to help it immensely but damn yeah that's hot
the voices
Still 3 out of 4 triggers
basically i don't bet on the invis hitting something i care about when the humble showman exists
the game refusing to show a single rare as I purchase the showman
he's just a little guy
he can clone himself too!
he's like 8 ball in that respect
showman ruining your packs and shops and taking up a joker slot just for the prospect of getting a duplicate of a joker, which will be perishable or rental 51% of the time
greatest joker ever?
is selling a brainstorm for dna worth it?
ok i am not taking showman on a gold stake run lol
the context was plasma white stake endless but yeah showman sucks anywhere else really
Hows your deck?
1 in 7 chance vs 1 in ~650
hi whats up do u need advice
yea if the doesnt game hate what other explanation could fit
i play the straights and lose and then i watch doc play flushes and win
ty show man
if you have real endless money you can just keep rerolling with the showman though
that you don't know how to beat it, +/ you arent applying your knowledge well enough
vs invis you have to burn two rounds on
ykw i’ll just use the calculator
anyway i just don't play endless so i rarely use invis or showman anyway
nah that cant be it
why
i think the game is sentient
I wouldnt do it tbh
😎
i’m gonna check with the calculator
ok i will do a blue gold run for the streak and then try jokerless
if i lose
thank you for your everlasting support
meow meow balatro meow
what an annoying 3oak to draw
Should i do photochad in abandoned?
its possible for sure
big, beautiful burglars
i think... i think i might take both and then take the buffoon
why before the buffoon
idk the order of that doesnt matter much at all
i guess it doesnt matter regardless yea
but the astro is because it pays itself off if you get like... kinda anything for it next shop
you can get some shitty planets which would suck but
I hate Wily Joker
i could swing an astroboner with sly maybe
loyalty and burg is an idea too
bursting with variety
you will not be severely in debt though, youll have hands money and $4 from the blind
i go the path less rental fee'd
you win in 2-3 hands, so you get ~$9 from the blind. you lose $6 pre interest so i think its fine considering astro pays itself off next shop most likely
i try saving for interest and i die to scoring
so if i dont care aobut interest and try building toward score i die later because i dont have money for card enhancements
if i save for interest i die becuase i dont have planet levels
im not even mad anymore im just genuinely confused
i wanna kill burglar 🤏
i just cant make it past ante 4 on this challenge no matter what
i would drop burglar here tbf
but i have no idea if thats right
i think i am
and if i had a third joker to sell i would sell astro too
lilo is sabotaging me because im the only server member capable of surpassing her
she knew there was no planet packs showing up this seed
yea fuck that rental astronomer fr
ok run saved, no more scary situations to spam chat
Nice
wow i finally got a blue seal in a jokerless run then immediately died because no planet cards or enhancement tarot cards, wonderful
dope
Do we pivot to photochad
should I buy DNA?
is 3oak good for jokerless
Thank 8 ball for ur services, but ur time has come
what ante and what does ur deck look like
im on ante 9 rn and HC level 3
thanks judgement
ya take it

need more kings
what should I sell?
prolly smily
ok thx
if ur playin hi card
just beat black deck purple stake with a photochad build
idk about square this late but i do need chips and to play my hands
why the fuck can hex and ankh still appear in jokerless
Funny af start
someone likes mult $ scaling
I bought the dagger because I had a chunky egg
It compensates for the swash
As it's twice as much scaling
i want a joker that scales off other jokers scaling
hi chat
opinions of this planet stats? (new file )
i love this game
ts so tuff
looks inside
what do i sell
brainstorm or blueprint
ok i sold a brainstorm it was so worth it
also in this situation i think its more optimal for brainstorm and blueprint to copy bloodstone
maybe blueprint? so it still have chances to appear in the shop
4aaA :!!!!!!!!!!¡??:! ; n n ssesssssehh
4aaA
i'm aware, just lucky card farming :)
ghost deck gold stake, 4/15! last shop antimatter allowed me to take banner for the sticker, alongside with licence, nat neg zany, chaos and supernova!
shoutout to the worst spectral pack i have ever come across
guys. i’ll admit it. i think flush builds and high card builds are fun.
ghost deck ectos are so good for c++ chase
Ok that was fun
yeah, I think I'm gonna stick to this deck when going for c++ fully, I'm just going for c+ for now
but i wouldnt worry that much about stickers if ur going for C+. at least sticker something worse than banner if you are 😛
"Here, rebuild your entire strat" ass spectral pack
LMAOO9
LUCKY CARDS LOVE ME
indubitably
I don't think I would've foung something worse in thr shop, gotta admit
MY KING
generational
Question. I've done 261 runs of black deck gold stake, but I have only been going for flushes. Is there a more efficient hand to go for, and if so, what are the best cards packs and jokers to take?
What if consumables could spawn with editions, then when you hold the consumable in your slots it triggers the edition when observatory would normally trigger?
So a polychrome consumable gives x1.5
And a foil one gives +50 chips
ohhh i'm winning
Pair/2pair
That second part is already built into the game haha
Guys i think i'm cooking
The best cards and jokers to take are the ones that you get offered
To list them explicitly would be fruitless
my goat holographic getting neglected like the middle child of the editions he is 😔 i get what you mean though that's a pretty cool concept
Ok but there's no way to edition them yet
true
pair on black deck can be a little sketchy depending on the technology you get
Holographic would be probably the worst in this case
Everything black deck is sketchy tbh but pair is still up there
i dont play full rotations so not much black deck but i feel like in a lot of runs it's worth it to just gamble that you can draw two pair whenver you need to
YES
chicot
wait yeah because jokers trigger from left to right and consumables are on the right. a voucher idea could be to make consumable editions trigger first, but that's a pretty weak voucher compared to other ones
In abandoned i wanna play 3/4/5oak right?
I mean straights aren't bad either on abandoned
What do i do guys, gone is the parking ?
If you want score, you want 1 on face and one in sock
If you have lucky cards, all on sock
Foiled trib
I'm sorry trib, this isn't your run, you gotta go
hologram before all your +mult?
I just got a DNA, do you think if i manage to enhance a king to get 5 of a kind what enhancement is techically best here, lucky?
You want five flush not 5oak
Also lucky yeah
it's easier to for sure but you don't have to. pairs are still great on abandoned
abandoned still a pair deck, maybe straights
and you basically never want to play 5oak
unless you have to unlock it to stay alive early on it's almost never worth it to even unlock 5oak. it hardly scales better than 4oak, makes it harder to get blue seal/gold/steel value, dilutes planet pool

i am not trying golden needle
2 antes of matador
kami should see this
Should there be a consumable that turns a joker eternal
6
10
2
No
👍
Its just 1.5X at the momento tho
yea its scaling xmult
im 5 away from C++ and ive had exactly one run ever when matador did anything. and tbf it saved that run
guys i just got the best straight flush build
this would be a good way to make madness potentially viable
madness is already quite viable
its not actually a high score this is a new profile
it sets up early econ like nothing else
speaking of setting up econ like nothing else
i thought madness was one of the worst jokers in the game
white stake looking
iirc it was like ante 3 or 4 and i was in rental hell
Its not in higher stakes
it scales 1x per ante, quite good
even without eternals madness can be pretty good, you can usually nurse enough +mult through an ante
yea but say goodbye to any jokers you need that arent eternal
just limits you a lot on joker selection so usually best if you already have a good one
that's worth it
just find eternal jokers
pshh
pshaw
with the amount of xmult it gives you
tbf 1/3 of jokers are eternal or something like that
even a half joker is enough for it
madness scales as fast as two good xmult jokers would
you just have to massively decrease your standards for what you want to take
i've never seen anyone use it without eternals
it works out
oh it might depend on the time
you dont
most good xmult jokers scale by .25x per round on average
what
that's because people don't use it incorrectly
have we considered being rich
all xmult is good
throwback and bloodstone:
people were saying it was viable without eternals though
duo + seeing double is good xmult in my book
it can be with larger hands
yes
cold ass take
frigid even
i always assume the default discussion is gold stake and nobody mentioned low stakes
yeah because it gives you a 2x for an easy condition
duo + seeing double is actully 4x owned pwned and strewn
anyway now that ive finished jokerless after like 3 hours of attempts
i think im gonna work toward my 3rd gold stake win next
i was specifically addressing the "good xmult is 0.25x per round"
you did joker less before 3 gold stakes
what
wait i havent even done jokerless lmao
i mean static xmult obv doesnt scale at all
cause i underestimated it
blackboard my beloved
lol
but yeah ive gold staked all the decks and have not touched challenges
i did omelette and decided i didnt like it
as in scaling +.25x per round
just giving you 2x instantly is good too
some of the challenges are pretty fun actually
i liked the ceremonial dagger one a lot
i tried that one and got sad lol
legendary joker that starts at 10X and descales .1X per card played
dead immiedetly
ong
get a riff raff and you have a free win 
do i take acrobat
step one find riff raff
yes
i feel like i should because of baseball
over golden probly
i don't like it much with scaling mult builds
square + acrobat slays
hm
no
fair
its not gonna get a single proc before perishing fr
yes
hmmmmm I wouldn't
probly get more levels off rebate
but consider: it's funnier
🐴
what uncommon could replace rebate rn besides xmult
rebate is better overall because it helps flash card
trading card???
i think
maybe
this is a free W anyways do the funny
Nooooo
I'm not getting the ecto and antimatter i need
you would think
My luck is insane
woah
i feel like i don't even take blank anymore
Idk how I pulled this off lol
ig i build 8s now
can you
i have 3/4
6
so it's probably just going to be temperance value
awesome
it deleted both 8s
guess 8 ball is just for temperance
this is why chad should be an uncommon /s
after completing 19/20 challenges here are my thoughts on them
12$, 6$ per round or hanged man
golden needle i think is about as hard as jokerless i think
each discard costing 1 dollar with only 1 hand sounds like complete and utter hell
monolith is easier medusa
well i guess i could just take a golden joker
yeah but im stupid so using obelisk effectively broke my brain
they both only took 1 try so

id say half of the challenges i did first try
My Cavendish just went extinct with no dice
but i didnt want to rank them all in one tier so
What if negative tag applied negative to the next base edition joker card bought?
On violent vessel too
i just went with whichever made me think more
No sticker for me 😭
how did rebate manage to select my only 8
I think this would make them a take maybe too much of the time
What about next base edition joker obtained, so you'd have to be careful with judgements
could i replace rebate with this
probably the biggest blue seal of all time, just guessing before I watch the video
It's a 1.5X
I would wait
i guess i could take trading card instead
just blue seals
actually this is pretty high
they give you two or three guaranteed copies of the planet you want, as compared to the normal method of 25% of planet packs giving the desired planet
i think they’re fine
they're definitely overtuned
nah
I think they should be unable to make duplicate planets without showman
cuts their output in half for most situations and they would still probably be the best mechanic in the game
how would you word this change in game
will the game get mouse controls for the switch 2 joycons
you wouldn't have to, just have it shown through the game not giving you two planets when you have two blue seals
having two blue seals in hand every round is not the usual
if you're playing the game well it is
that’s inconsistent
if you have 2 or 3 of them it's pretty common to have them in hand
if anything I think it's inconsistent that blue seals can create duplicates already
then fool wouldn’t work if you have the tarot in hand
Run is dead anyway, even a legendary can't save me, i can only score e22
Didn't get the ecto nor boss reroll nor antimatter
not at all, you can’t even get 1 blue seals some runs
Chat give me a deck to gold stake
painted
K
It's my boy yorick which is foiled
well obviously runs that you're not having blue seals will not have blue seals, but if you have them then it's more often than not you will death and have several
if i have a blue seal before ante 4 its very likely ante 6 i will get 2 blue seal planets per round
I think the stacked scoring and economy is better, so mime
Yay new hi
I got this far here is the seed
uuuuh I mean you have money
the game is giving me a ton of deaths for my purple seal
and I'm not sure what else you could really find with the money
and the blue seal too
besides just rolling flashcard
mult for flash card but like
72 is enough
fool for another death card
bruh
sometimes it feels like seeds have like five specific cards they will show you more often than others
sometimes I get the desired planet from every single celestial pack throughout an entire run
Every seed is beatable if u play correctly with what the game want u to play
I guess
🤔
are cards equally probable to be drawn?
uuuh yes
proportional to their rate of incidence
how does one make a hand to run straights
Ethereal free rare pull
What?
just a random thought but say your jokers were made for straights, how do you fix your deck to play those
U pray
ah
I dont thik theres a straight deck fix for straights
awesome
U just pray with ur discards and hands
shame i didn't get to turn my blue seal gold though
Huge bbc
that must make those gold stamps painful
Not really
hang aces, 2s and kings
Straights are strong af
since those make the least straights
And u lose half of the straights
half?
Low numbers make sense tho
fym half?
Im being dramatic
uhhh... would you elaborate
i have alot of hours but my interaction with the community and its lingo is limited
you want to focus on the middle cards
Why?
oh so like you want between 8s and 3s mostly?
Eternal chip jokers of despair
because the edge cards make less straights
yeah i thought since aces could make straights with the face cards you could wrap them around too and have a queen, king, ace, 2, and 3
But aces do 2 straights
yeah but a 6 can do 5 straights
which is less than every card below king and above 2
Ahhhh now it makes sense 🧠
and besides the straights that aces make are completely separate
anyways this run looks good
This is ridiculous. You cut off the ends of your deck. Start with aces and 2s and move inward. It works best if you move towards the middle, but if you really want to play face cards, eliminate 2-6 first. Opposite if you're playing bus.
im gonna be real i dont understand how to use red card
is there merit to replacing red card with erosion
or get why you would take that first eternal
Skip packs
What are some good things to do for baron set up when you get ante 1 baron?
well yeah but i mean why would you
you take +3 mult if the contents of the pack are undesirable
sell baron
+3 mult and not all packs are good
because scaling mult is better than most booster pack results
Breh
And u would prefer 3 mult instead of anything
true but playing a single 2 with wee jokers gives mathematically more then double the value, +3 mult isnt worth much at all
already?
i mean unless youre using it to give xmult a base top push off or have tons of chips
?
Ill lose next round
how is wee and red card comparable
one is a rare chip joker and the other is a common +mult joker
And yeah, taper it so that if, for example you're doing royal straights, you have maybe 3 Aces and tens, 4 kings and jacks, and 5 queens
with multiplication being reversivle any chips can mathematically be the same as the same anmount of mult. this is ofc not counting x mult but
Died cus bloodstone just said:
1/2? nah nah nah
0/8
mult increases chips
oh bloodstone never change
" really strong rare joker is better than a common" is the most meaningless statement you can make
Usually a range from A to 8 is plenty narrow, if you taper then ends, to draw 2-3 straights per hand. But you shouldn't need more than one with planet scaling and appropriate jokers
i know but what im saying is that since 3x4 and 4x3 is the same, it would be reasonable to add the bigger number to one side
right i forget wee is a rare, sorry
but is red good? or is it just a "whatever" kinda pick
the presence of a stronger joker doesn't make the other one obsolete
need help with a build
fair enough
it's considered the strongest scaling +mult joker in the game
camfite
currently building two pair
got pareidolia
which would be pretty good
but like what do i sell
im guessing clubs
bc i dont have too many club cards
Red card is one of the fastest scaling mult jokers. Once you can afford buying a pack without losing money round over round, you always look in the pack, and if it has something worth more than 3 mult, you take that. Otherwise you skip.
wait really? even better then ride the bus and green?
Roughly equal, maybe
ooooh right, i tend to struggle with exon since i only recently learned how good they are
The plant sent u a kiss
right but when i get the plant i can sell pareidolia
so do i get it or nah
I use to pray for times like this 😤
i don't think retriggering glutton slightly more matters that much
You can get +5 per round on green or bus, and +6 on red card, but only if you can afford it. +3 is usually enough to keep you alive early antes (whereas +2 from flash card is not)
thing is pareidolia would give a 1.5x mult bc of the baseball card
what mod is this that shows the stats under? ive never used any mods do idk
jokerdisplay
so what do i do
yeah which is why replacing glutton could be a good idea if your levels are good
thanks
Foils maybe worth it. You can swap it out with a better uncommon when you have a few more Uranus
28k dem
would replacing golden be worth it
i could use chips because the game is not giving a single mercury
green joker doesnt seem very good early gamep
Loyalty card hate is vastly exxagerated
do i get the 1.5x mult twice aswell
i guess i could take todd instead
odd todd my goat
There's more chance of bloodstone hitting 0/8 than of a natural negative appearing. It's gonna happen sometimes.
it's enough to beat the ante 1 big blind with just pairs
if i sell my showman and get baseball card, do i get 1.5x mult twice since its 2 cards?
yea
That's actually interesting
first useful showman in ante 8
so now instead of 1.5x 1.5 2.25 2.25 i got 2.25 2.25 and 3.38
A little hard to compare because it's the chance for any given joker in the shop/pack to be negative, and you see a lot of jokers over a run. But you also probably play a lot of heart flushes if you have bloodstone.
And a 1/8 or 2/8 might kill you just as much and those are much more common
wait
1/8 is actually 8 times more common than 0/8
if i combine pareidolia with shoot the moon aka giving me +13 mult per queen in hand
Happened to be just now
would it give me +13 for each card in hand
no
NOOOO i just had a killer two pair run going and my cat stood on the r key
Are face cards queens?
FUCK
Deck fixing at its finest
Take out that diamond ace or I will find you
Already lost the run
HOW
ive always wondered how good an ace deck would be, what were your jokers
Rip
arrowhead my beloved
why do i love chip jokers so much
idk maybe its cause good chips really bolsters your hand ig
Are you playing plasma deck?
It's because they're rare and unique
chips are rare so you're more likely to have stronger opinions on each of them, maybe
Nope
hey zebra what do i do
I meant @zealous trellis
Your name is too long. Have you tried combining first and last 3 letters of it to make it shorter?
My name is only too long if it doesn't fit
Wrong answer
if odd todd is contributing less than an effective 3X to chips then I think replacing it with BB makes sense
red card i think needs to stay probably
what about castle
I am so pathetic
nah if odd todd is maybe throw, starting at 0 with Castle doesnt feel right
Probably too late with only 2 discards
55 now
the only one that absolutely doesnt make sense to be that high is DNA
yea i think bb is super the way
DNA is absolutely amazing
ridiculous setup
it's B-
You guys just can't seem to make use of it
do you have any examples of high level dna gameplay that arent endless goaled
it's just an effective downside
One glass card is all it takes for it to be a run winner
DNA is fairly well balanced, its just overrated because of endless
I mean, that top 10 is clearly focused on card value not joker value
It's much better than baron
are you always getting a glass card early on?
that doesnt mean anything really
B tier joker vs D tier joker
bloodstone is better than baron
I don't buy DNA in ante 1 bro
doesn't save it
Threw this run earlier, annoyingly couldn't find any glass seal queens
Oh no! What joker could have possibly helped?
yorick is better than showman imo
@cloud sinew
DNA is in your top 10 most used jokers. it doesnt make sense for it to be considering it's
A. rare
B. not worth taking early game
C. a joker you should drop after youve gotten enough value out of it
Idol, which of course did not appear after I got antimatter
what a weird statement
endless is meaningless for balance
Agreed
show me 1 game where showman wins without yorick or another scoring joker
you cant
Well I did get this run a few days back
endless:
No, it's like saying "strawberries are better than potato peelers"
i'm sorry to tell you this but you don't need to score e53 to win
B-but I just won twice! Using DNA!
this is an incredibly specific situation
and it's on green stake
I've also won at least twice using Idol! that means its a good joker, right?
True it was lucky
I only take Dna for endless, normally it isn't the best
how about on gold stake, up to the part of the game where it says "You Win!"
Idol is luck and DNA is free glass
photo more than chad is wild
free glass isn't as good as you think
Guys I'm not saying DNA is the best
its not free
I'm saying it's underrated
Provided you draw the glass
i take chad every time i see it but usually only take photo if i already have chad and photochad makes sense
IT'S ONE TAROT CARD BRO
one of the good parts of glass is that it can disappear
YOU GET HUNDREDS
it absolutely IS NOT underrated. its overrated by the vast majority of people
1/22
So you don't have any tarot generators
glass cards aren't that good
also takes a while to setup glass, and if youre relying on glass for scoring then youre going to be breaking glass quite often
BROTHER
I'm actually so done wtf you mean glass cards aren't good
arent that good
balatro players cant read
the green stake icon in the room:
5 glass cards give 32 mult fym no good
vic never said they werent good
by the standards of endless players, people playing gold stake ante 8 runs underrate like 12 jokers and overrate every single other one
glass dna is fine idk
how often are you playing 5 of them at once
and if youre playing 5 of them at once, on average youre breaking 1.25 cards each time you do it.
why do you need 5 glass cards 😳
if it lets you play 3 or 4oak glasschad that's good enough imo but weird to see dna that high
I'm not an endless player
Is ts for real
yet a lot of your arguments revolve around it
you just posted an ante 22 baron/mime build wdym
thats a shit ton of scoring for no apparent reason
"Not an endless player"
overscoring doesnt give you extra rewards and you're just risking glass
overscoring doesnt do anything for you
It's my first ever endless crafted with meticulous luck on a casual green stake run
and?
help ples
using all your glass when you dont need to is actually worse if you rely on said glass
like glass is good and a reason dna can become better, but it doesnt make dna a good joker generally
Well someone just said how glass cards aren't that good while they literally explode the chip counter
DNA is as good as any x2 mult joker
and?
if you have 5 of them, yes.
the ceiling is 1.2 million on 14/15 decks
Guys please tell me I'm not the only one to think this opinion is wrong on so many levels
what does exploding the chip counter do, i just want to pass ante 8 consistently
except DNA doesn't say x2 mult on the description
Then multiply glass cards until you have 2 for each handd
You're wrong in the sense that I'm agreeing with you
why rely on something that's less consistent than just relying on jokers
It's not 😭
do i sell one of the baseball cards?
is this where the conversation starts 😐
how is it not?
Oh hey
holy
I know you
you have to get the planets for glass cards to do something
that's not a good sign
From yesterday
it's not like they just give xmult for free
hello
Remember I told you how obelisk isn't great
I get that a lot
bbc is worth 1.5^3 which is like 3.somethingX, photo with sock is better
Ok now we disagree again
and you're incorrect about that
Well these guys try to convince me DNA is not too great or consistent
what's your point?
it is though;
youre relying on deckfixing for glass to draw said glass every hand, which in this case is using DNA.
you also rely on base mult as glass triggers before +mult from jokers like red card, abstract, etc.
well yeah that's true
Well I understand why it can be good I just hate using it lol
because it isn't.
DNA isn't bad, it's just not "that good". it's B tier.
Acceptable.
Can we all agree that Ceremonial Dagger is a great joker
DNA is also really just not that consistent. you need something worth copying for DNA to be "good", and it hurts you a lot. you need to win the round with 1 less hand if you use DNA
its aight i guess
which means less $, less draws, less scoring events, etc
"I don't like using obelisk" is much different from "obelisk isn't great" though
it's decent
yea also 4 fewer cards to draw
Which is quite fine really, and you can sell the said +mult jokers in favour of retriggering ones or smth else
Obby is great, you just don't like it
I still think it's meh but wtv
dna is sorta like bloating your deck by 4 cards
most fun scaling +mult joker
"in favour of"...
this is a point of it being niche. you cant choose what jokers you get given but you can choose what jokers you take;
DNA is less favourable in the example you presented if you have +mult from the joker stage.
retriggerring jokers have a susceptibility of having to think about more boss blinds and card draw on average which goes against your DNA debacle earlier
the same way that chaos kinda gives you $5 per round
obelisk is one of the best jokers in the game. at the very least top 20%
I am pretty sure 2 glass cards in your hand already replace the value of +mult jokers
What the bloody hell
😭😭
top 20% is 30 jokers and i cant even think of 30 entire jokers
there are WAY too many variables for you to be saying this
base mult and +mult from the joker stage both matter for evaluating this, so this absolutely is NOT true generally.
it's within the strongest of the x mult scalers purely from the speed and not harsh conditions
Wdym I don't get it
scaling mult jokers are usually better than 4x for 1 single hand
DNA is fine to take to propagate your glass cards. You don't have to use it every round, and with xMult jokers, glass can be very helpful to keep you alive. Once you have ~3 glass cards in your deck it's easy enough to draw them regularly
Well I want to be slightly stupid by saying I saw an eternal obelisk today and I had 18 played hands on flushes and 0 on everything else and I didn't take it
which is simply far more than what 2 glasses do
I played checkered tho
THROW

And 3 glass cards is already times 8
all I can think of are the top 10 and maybe 10 more outside of my top 10 used 💔
i love cherrypicking
I won anyway I found photochad and like 10 3x mult jokers
I hate DNA
i could probly name every joker given 20 minutes
You also don't need to hold onto it. You can make 5 glass cards with it, swap it out, and use those 5 emergency glass cards for the remainder of your run.
for 1 hand
on blue stake
that's like 3 booster skips
guys ples help
when prompted with the card art or just from memory
idk what to do
while red card is being a 6x multiplier for all hands
Okay okay I agree I wouldn't take DNA in that specific situation but is it really that common having a +85 red card
memory, card art would be as fast as theyre shown to minus the front pagers
okay this is mildly threathening
that was a +66 red card
me too but when you tell me to sort the page 1 joker names and images
i don't think i've ever had a gold stake run where red card is below 72
you cannot get a +85 red card :3
That's blue joker. It gives you 2 chips equal to the number of cards left in your deck.
I forgot I'm kinda speed running checkered today
the world if 85 was divisible by 3
im asking what to sell xd
Whoops
Someone deleted spam
holy crap Elon musk is going to give me $1,000
elongated musketeer
Holy shit kai cenat wants me to be in his stream
I'm playing through Black deck now, made it to blue stake and I'm gettin my ass handed to me. is the key just forcing pair and highcard?
You believe in this and then tell me DNA is bad okay boomer 🙄
Seems like a good time to swap out pareidolia
its me yilong ma
my deck is not enough built for pareidolia to go
it's mid and very conditional
pair usually, but also black deck is about grabbing the jokers it gives you even if they don't necessarily work together
that's about it
dna is winmore
I wholeheartedly believe it's as good as trading card
90% of the time
+$3 and -1 card
vs -$1 and +1 card
hmmmm....
What
trading card is B-?
You want more cards silly
what to sell for blueprint
Is it
i thought about mime
dna is only good in situations where you're already winning, therefore being somewhat redundant
situationally, not always.
not necessarily
Okay I agree with this
generally you want a thinner deck, and you only bloat when necessary
But it's still good
it’s so rare you don’t want a small deck
i.e blue seals, hologram, etc
Mime is giving you 2x
ok this is just insane
a smaller deck = easier time digging for ALL of your ideal cards, not just the ones youve duplicated.
Yeah when all your cards are glass
hologram you just need to add cards you can still have an 8 card deck
Copy WHAT
mime is good here
baseball card
its just harder to have a smaller deck with hologram
Ah
dna
makes you see less cards (short and long term)
doesn't remove bad cards
cost 1 dolla
takes away scoring potential short term
requires you to have and draw something worth copying
is more expensive on purchase
not bbc fuel
good run
pareidolia sucks but its actually kinda good here because its foil and baseball card is there lol
+1 glass gold seal card tho 🥹
trading is also better than DNA because its very good early and doesnt need a card worth copying to be worth it
+78 red card is what i expect from a bus with grabber
ok what's the argument
it's crazy
so im fr selling photo?
+$3 early vs -$1 early
also not blue seal gold 😐
trading card makes the future glass gold seal card much better
only thing worth DNAing in my eyes
people who defend dna don't realise that the card copying comes at a cost
Gold seals are splendid but they might just be the worst lol
red seal is the worst
i'd say red seals are worse yeah
red seal is good but definitely the worst of the 4
COME ON
because it does nothing by itself
Be more open minded
you need devil or magician or something before it does anything
I GOT FOIL CAVENDISH
Hear other arguments instead of immediately refusing
WHAT DO I SELL
+3$ per round is generally better than what a retrigger does
WHY ARE YOU SO AGAINST GLASS AND RED SEALS
top 5 value generators:
- certificate
- vagabond
- midas mask
- rebate
- certificate
- negative showman
i'm not against them
ARE YOU JUST IMMUNE TO MAKING YOUR CSRDS GLASS
blue and purple are good for obvious reasons and gold seal is just free money that gets even better with retrigger
perkeo 
reading comprehension
red seal glass doesn't do much in a world that's dominated by scaling mult
"worst" is a relative evaluation.
"bad" is an overall evaluation.
red seals are the worst but they are not bad
<@&1133519078540185692>
another one?
next fucking spammer
oooh money
Bruh another one wtf
<@&1133519078540185692>
World record
glass is mostly good because of potential deckfixing and glass joker
thanks mods
glass itself is rarely doing anything for scoring when you're using flat mult jonklers
How did you forget x2⁵ mult
trading card
gives moeny
doesn't detriment your unconditional scoring
removes bad cards to draw better cards more frequently
can be taken with any sticker tag usually
bbc gasoline
6 bucks 👅
red*
I just got a negative perkeo while trying to beat black deck for the first time
did i order these correctly? i think rebate could be higher but i don't like it personally
getting 5 glass in your hand is not something that happens often enough for this to be a good argument
