did you not pay attention to the score you had when your x mult was what it’s at currently?

i love flushes

#

their my life

warped wave
#

lvl 3 actually, it is slightly better than full house

#

can anyone link chip calculator

#

?

cosmic sun
#

you might have to just sell egg into two pair

white zodiac
#

balatro calculator

alpine hollow
#

I just use a normal calculator lol

white zodiac
#

yeah

cosmic sun
#

what was your avg score per hand?

alpine hollow
#

Thats mainly when I play irl Balatro tho

white zodiac
#

assuming each hand before was below 20k, sell egg

#

play 2 pair

cosmic sun
#

also one extra discard in case you have something else

verbal wren
#

Why is their only 4x speed this is so slow

warped wave
#

this hand will be short

cosmic sun
#

disappointed in the lack of gold cards tho avery šŸ˜”

warped wave
#

it will give me 21k

cosmic sun
#

and blue seals

#

woulda set campfire off

white zodiac
#

discard for any potential higher chips

#

fyi you should’ve sold egg once you saw that your first hand scored less than 1/3 of the score requirement

vocal warren
warped wave
#

listen, once again, this is the only deck I have played since getting the game two weeks ago aside from 4 others I beat white stake on to get challenges. This is my 412th attempt at black deck gold stake, so I have no other experience

lavish gazelle
#

Balatro so good they brought it to real life

white zodiac
#

try to divide your blind score by the amount of hands you have with the idea of knowing what hands are the stronger and weaker hands scored

vocal warren
#

did they actually make a physical card game of it

#

or am i silly

cosmic sun
white zodiac
#

what a shame that there’s no vc channels here

atomic kiln
#

black deck is.. really tough, u got this tho mSadCry

cosmic sun
warped wave
#

I literally only want to beat gold stake then I will learn other decks, but I only watched one video where dr spectred said he beats black decik gold stake forty percent of the time.

white zodiac
#

gonna do a black deck run out of determination

vocal warren
#

Coaching channels would be cool

#

or just a community channel

#

I found a way to win without selling egg, unless my math is wrong

white zodiac

i had a 5 black deck win streak but it was mostly undeserved for the first 3 at the time

Constellation my beloved

warped wave
#

gotta clear 90k somehow

white zodiac
warped wave
#

do I sell the planets or use them for constellation?

cosmic sun
#

xmulters eating good...

white zodiac
#

use for const, calculate if you wanna double check after campfire

cosmic sun
#

egg + square being sold

vocal warren
#

because also

warped wave
#

well I am definetly selling egg so that needs to be kept in mind

vocal warren
#

it gives you an out if the hand you're actually wanting to play isn't happening

white zodiac
#

egg dies for interest and petroleum

white zodiac
#

preemptively calculate your first hand if you need to

cosmic sun
#

wait wait

#

buy both planets and open pack

#

increases your chances at uranus

white zodiac
#

buy and don’t use them

#

use them first if you find uranus in the packs, before using uranus

warped wave
#

I got uranus

white zodiac
#

use the other planets first before uranus

vocal warren
#

fool

warped wave
#

I already used everything and got uranus

white zodiac
#

cool

warped wave
#

I'm resorting to the misprint trick lol

white zodiac
#

oh

warped wave
#

does that exist in MLB?

white zodiac
#

what

warped wave
#

the misprint trick

white zodiac
#

what’s mlb

#

major league balatro?

warped wave
#

major league balatro

white zodiac
#

oh idk

#

i don’t keep up with that stuff

warped wave
#

do you use it?

vocal warren
warped wave
#

let me show you a trick

#

open a new run on any deck

vocal warren
#

yay i love tricks

tranquil cargo
#

if you stare at it long enough, it says the rank of the next card you'll draw for like 1 frame

#

and it works in the collection viewer, you don't have to actually have misprint

white zodiac
#

if you’re talking about the misprint tech ik what it is i’ve just never used it

warped wave
#

then click options, collection, and hover over misprint on the second stage. If you wait long enough, it will show you a number and a letter, like 2D

vocal warren
#

mhm mhm

warped wave
#

that meanms your next draw is 2 of diamonds

#

guaranteed

white zodiac
warped wave
#

you can know your draw every time

white zodiac
#

here’s your calc in case you need to preemptively calculate your hand score

warped wave
#

sure

#

thanks

white zodiac
#

since you can input your scores yourself and not have to send or share 4 different images worth of information

#

feel free to share questions though

warped wave
#

I'm in shop staring down two jumbo standards, two rental jokers, and an unbreakable joker, I have 2 mult on campfire and 1.6 on constellation, and 25 bucks. My worry is that because the boss is the one that makes you draw 3 cards after any play or discard, and I don't know if my deck fixing is good enough

white zodiac
#

oh uh

#

a picture is fine yk lol

warped wave
white zodiac
#

do you have enough score to beat the boss blind atm

vocal warren
#

If i took mr bones

white zodiac
#

you can spend down to sell the jokers in the shop in case you dont

warped wave
#

theoretically, yes, but since I am only playing two pairs, my worry is that since I draw three after every play or discard, I won't get the third two pair to win

vocal warren
#

..

#

No better question

#

Is blueprint compatible with mr bones

white zodiac
#

no

vocal warren
#

thought so

#

that brings me to this question

#

If i put blueprint on a gros michel

#

would the blueprint also be eaten if the gros michel is

white zodiac
#

no

#

blueprint is not compatible with passive abilities/effects

vocal warren
#

mmmm

white zodiac
warped wave
#

I need three two pairs to clear, barely

cosmic sun
#

yikers

white zodiac
#

and this is without selling the jokers in the shop?

warped wave
#

yes, but I am losing a lot of eco off spending 11 on jokers.

#

also, if I get particularly luck screwed, I may only get one two pair.

white zodiac
#

i was concerned about that knowing you had nonexistent methods of generating econ via jokers or gold cards

warped wave
#

While unlikely, I would lose in that scenario as well

white zodiac
#

mm

#

what are your x mults at rn

warped wave
#

x2 and x 1.6

white zodiac
#

calculate score if you sold three more jokers to see if you can win with 2 2 pairs

#

roll down again if not

zinc karma
#

What happens if i use luchador on the vv if I already have more than 400k?

white zodiac
#

a victorious surprise

craggy gale
#

Ok so I’m debating whether to sell dice or transition out of photochad, but I’m starved for scoring

zinc karma
warped wave
#

I would not clear in two with two two pairs after selling two jokers.

#

I may clear with two two pairs and a three of a kind though

zinc karma
#

Gay michele accompanied me since round 1, im so proud of she

white zodiac
#

fishing for a 3oak is more unlikely than 2pair

zinc karma
#

I was playing pairs only

#

šŸ¤”

warped wave
#

My deck fixing consist of me having a lot of kings

#

so if I draw two two pairs, there is a good chance that I get three of a kind and not two pair

white zodiac
#

idk your deck composition

cosmic sun
#

needs more golds and blue seals

#

thats my fixing

warped wave
cosmic sun
#

red seal or blue seal golds and purples

zinc karma
cosmic sun
#

i'd definitely start taking more devils though

warped wave
#

the math would change if I draw my red seals though.

alpine hollow
#

I would recommend, unless you have face jokers, turing them into aces

white zodiac
#

no enhancements is crazy

warped wave
#

I could also reroll this shop to try for maybe some tarots, which would keep my interest up more than paying for two jokers

#

I know

desert goblet
#

anyone have tips for purple stake?? i just got to it with ghost deck but i could probably pivot up to purple stake with plasma instead

warped wave
#

I got very unlucky

If i dont aim towards C++, will i still be able to become a good player?

warped wave
#

what do we think guys, do I buy jokers or reroll, or go for it and do neither?

cosmic sun
atomic kiln
#

generally playing gold stake will force you to think alot more if u wana consistently beat it, generally just comes with practice pika_think

cosmic sun
#

And game is less rng than you think

atomic kiln
cosmic sun
#

Especially if you run pairs

alpine hollow
#

I want to play for fun though, to escape my reality

white zodiac
atomic kiln
#

some runs will generally be easier than others but almost all runs are winable a_goober_sleepy_tired_yawn_reki

alpine hollow
cosmic sun
warped wave
#

ok

#

then just go for it?

atomic kiln
#

i mean personally im a straight+abandoned deck fiend atmwyphsmal2

alpine hollow
cosmic sun
white zodiac
#

personally my safe spot would be to spend until I win with 2 2 pairs and a throwaway hand

#

any higher ranking hand works since I'm assuming you have no other levels outside of that

warped wave
#

Im calling it for the night here

#

just beat boss blind

white zodiac
#

hmm

#

strength into arcana

#

sell squimbo again lol

cosmic sun
#

the rental square recurring villain

white zodiac
#

I think trio is worth considering

warped wave
#

Rental does loads for campfire.

After 9 long months I finally hit a natural naneinf on mobile. Did it on PC 8 months ago.

#

That’s fair, though I would’ve lost without grabbing it earlier

white zodiac
#

campfire is very poggers with econ stability

#

saves runs

warped wave
#

Me over here with no Econ lol

white zodiac
#

from it being basically unconditional xmult

#

well there's room for improvement

cosmic sun
#

yall need to breathe and sleep devils and econ jokers

#

you'll see campfire in a different light

warped wave
#

The campfirelight

cosmic sun
#

also when you get a planet so high you just start using the blue seals for campfire fuel

That’s kind of the issue right now

I just hit ante 7

cosmic sun
#

told avery he needed more devils

vocal rose
#

yeah ur cooked pal

cosmic sun
#

he got gold seals that's it

vocal rose
#

u need better econ management

cosmic sun
#

well if you want deck fixing that's your deck fixing goal from now on, devils and blue seals

warped wave
#

This is my 412 attempt of black deck gold stake. I noticed

warm plume
#

i assume there is no way to transfer my account progress if i go from the gamepass version of balatro to the steam one

white zodiac
#

one of us can go through black deck and the decision making for each ante if only we had the technology here

acoustic kettle
#

šŸ’”

warped wave
#

And black deck is the only deck I’ve gone beyond white stake on

acoustic kettle
#

I'd go insane by the 10th run

white zodiac
#

interesting

vocal rose
#

interesting choice

#

knocking out the hardest one

#

it’ll make all the other gold stakes way easier

white zodiac
#

knocking out the hardest deck to make other decks feel like a cake walk

warped wave
#

I got to orange stake on it three days ago and I’ve been playing balatro for two weeks, so I thought it couldn’t be that bad to just finish it up

alpine hollow
#

Ive been playing for almost a year now and i havent reached that yet

vocal rose
#

It’s just concerning since typically people handle it when they have all of the fundamentals down

warped wave
#

A week of it I couldn’t play as I was on vacation too

acoustic kettle
#

Insane

alpine hollow
#

Trluy insane

warped wave
#

So I’ve only truly been playing for a week

alpine hollow
#

The next great player, perhaps?

warped wave
#

Is anyone here familiar with hollow knight?

acoustic kettle
#

Getting to gold stake in the first place is amazing

on black deck

alpine hollow

Just interested

alpine hollow
acoustic kettle
#

I was a dumbass when i started

#

Only got to purple on abandoned in like months

vocal rose
warped wave
#

But I beat it in under an hour

vocal rose
#

it’s all about how much actual playtime there is

vapid badger
#

no directors cut or suit changers moment

warped wave
#

I’m playing about four hours a day, maybe a bit less on some days

vocal rose
#

if your face cards weren’t hearts

#

your scoring is photochad not bloodstone

acoustic kettle
#

Or just

craggy gale
acoustic kettle
#

Don't play bloodstone

craggy gale
#

1 lucky hit away from winning

#

Welp that’s what you get when you go full gamble

vocal rose
vapid badger
warped wave
#

To be honest, not really

vapid badger
#

also my scoring was shoot the moon as well as pc

acoustic kettle
#

Bloodstone and aj doesn't work that well together

white zodiac
#

id like to pay attention to how you play the first two antes. the early game decisions will completely determine the pacing of your entire run

craggy gale
vapid badger
alpine hollow
#

Bloodstone is really unereliable

vocal rose
#

yeah I wanna know ur fundamentals

vapid badger
#

so ancient would hit every time

vocal rose
#

since even for a short amount of time 300+ attempts is ALOT

acoustic kettle
#

Ancient is random

vocal rose
#

at all

warped wave
#

On my 200th attempt on gold stake I saw dr spectreds video when he said he beat black deck gold stake forty percent of the time. I was just two dejected

alpine hollow
acoustic kettle
#

That's idol

alpine hollow
#

If its all hearts, its always hearts

craggy gale
#

That’s the idol

#

Ancient is always random regardless

alpine hollow
#

nvm i was thinking of castle

craggy gale
#

Which is why it’s less used usually

warped wave
#

I’ve watched a few roffle videos too

vocal rose
craggy gale
lunar zealot

alpine hollow
vocal rose
#

you’ll always fall short and feel worse which is why you shouldn’t

warped wave
#

I wasn’t watching him to learn, just for fun

acoustic kettle
#

Roffle heavy is a more realistic run

alpine hollow
acoustic kettle
#

Lite is just full of highrolls

alpine hollow
#

I do it a lot

white zodiac
vocal rose
#

just said you shouldn’t

shell current
#

The thing with luck based jokers is that for the econ jokers you can ā€œaffordā€ for them not to hit so it’s ok to evaluate them based on long-term expected value but for scoring jokers if you miss the minimum score requirement you just die so you have to evaluate them based on the low-roll

#

So bloodstone with no dice is a 1x

vocal rose
#

bloodstone with no dice is death incoming

shell current
#

Unless you just want to get a funny big number

polar yacht
#

Today I learned that having 200 Celestial Cards in your deck makes your phone lag and heat up

lunar zealot
#

Also bloodstone is on-scored and on-scored is inherently bad

white zodiac
#

on scored has less good score timing with most other jokers that are used more

#

while requiring more pieces

shell current
#

Photochad on flushes is a legit strat because flush base mult scaling is halfway decent

white zodiac
#

for boss blinds or good card draw

warped wave
#

What’s funny is my best hand every is like a one billion hand because I never just play white stake, I’m pretty much always on the black deck grind.

vocal rose
#

that’s the only real exception i’d say

alpine hollow
#

that reminds me, what is a meta again? ive heard that pairs and photochad is a meta, but i dont understand

acoustic kettle
#

On scoring has a higher ceiling i'd say

vocal rose
#

all you need is those two and your run is practically won if you know how to pilot it

acoustic kettle
#

But more vulnerable

white zodiac
#

but yeah

nova mantle
#

should i pick dna here and hope i get sock/idol again further up? this is my deck atm

warped wave
#

I think ballot is my most played card

nova mantle
shell current
#

Fib is strong enough on its own to be decent and bloodstone is the outlier among the uncommon suit jokers

I should go for completionist++, how hard could it be clueless

nova mantle
#

but yeah youre right i dont think i should worry too much lmao

craggy gale
#

True

vocal rose
#

gets easier the more you do it

acoustic kettle
#

You can just play one deck one strat

nova mantle
#

anyways imma go trib it egg

acoustic kettle
#

And spend yeara

#

Years

#

Still get c++

vocal rose
#

by nature of being scaling

craggy gale
#

I feel like it’s really dependent on rng to actually get the chance to use the jokers you’re looking for

white zodiac
vocal rose
#

unless they’re retroactive

alpine hollow
white zodiac
#

pants are a good example

cosmic sun
alpine hollow
warped wave
craggy gale
white zodiac
#

rtb, green, and nova can be good flat mult scalers for the early game as you play with it

craggy gale
#

Got used to gold stake and saw why people love it so much

warped wave
vocal rose
#

still good but not the same

vocal rose
#

it’s pretty fun

craggy gale
#

Ngl I originally doubted how fun gold stake was

acoustic kettle
#

I'm doing chips first rn

#

Plasma rotted

vocal rose
cosmic sun
#

most boring sticker run:

craggy gale
#

But now that I got used to every mechanic, it’s pretty cool

vocal rose
#

since you’ll have to roll down for that specific jokers

warped wave
#

My third most used joker is a scaling joker, then photo and acrobat finish off my five most played jokers

craggy gale
alpine hollow
#

that reminds me, what is a meta?

warped wave
craggy gale
#

And the existence of eternals, perishables and rentals makes decision making so much more important

acoustic kettle

Well yeah

craggy gale

Doesn’t always mean it’s the best option

white zodiac

I've gone back to flushes now

Pair is so boring

cosmic sun
#

I stand on my principles, to prove that most runs are pair runs

🫦

white zodiac
vocal rose
#

big 3 mistakes ppl make and offer instant improvement once you overcome : 1. playing too fast 2. not valuing chips 3. spamming high hand builds

craggy gale
acoustic kettle

Playing pair runs after pair runs melted my brain

Pair blue seal is like having a free negative grimbo and square it’s crazy

alpine hollow

I mean, yeah, because it’s good

cosmic sun

white zodiac
vocal rose

it’s amazing in fact

cosmic sun
#

trouser runs are pair runs

acoustic kettle
#

Anything is a pair run

cosmic sun
#

there are cathedrals yadda yadda

alpine hollow

is this like that meme were every run is high card or flush 5

shy abyss
shell current
#

You can force straights like 70% as consistently as pairs if you want to replace the ā€œnot getting any good jokersā€ rng loss condition with the ā€œnot drawing your handā€ loss condition

craggy gale
# white zodiac 😐

Yeah I know it’s great, but I’ve just never had the situation/opertunity to make use of it

acoustic kettle
#

I don't like the playstyle though

alpine hollow
warped wave
#

I notice everyone is saying to play pairs. I pretty much exclusively play flushes. Kind of ironic the only two pair builds I have play have got me to ante 7 and the last boss on gold stake, but still.

acoustic kettle
#

It's boring

#

I went back to flushes

#

It's not really bad since i'm running plasma

#

The chips helps

cosmic sun
vocal rose
white zodiac
shy abyss
vocal rose
#

you’re stunting your runs doing that

craggy gale
#

Ngl I haven’t ever really relied on playing pairs

vocal rose
#

ante 1 and maybe ante 2 it’s fine

warped wave
shell current
craggy gale
#

I do if I need to, just never built upon pairs

vocal rose
#

hand agnostic jokers are your friends

acoustic kettle
#

Like any scaling jokers just automatically works better on pairs

white zodiac
warped wave
cosmic sun
#

idk anyone who could see bloodstone or the tribe could say flushes are good

#

AJ is like a small outlier

alpine hollow
#

Whats AJ?

shy abyss
#

bloodstone the deceiver

cosmic sun
#

Ancient Joker

acoustic kettle
vocal rose
#

you’ll see diminishing returns VERY quickly

craggy gale
#

Also how do people actually build around obelisk

lunar zealot
acoustic kettle
lunar zealot
#

pair runs naturally segue into obelisk pivots

river slate
#

here win

cosmic sun
lunar zealot
#

a pair run will fundamentally lead to an obelisk run should you get obelisk

alpine hollow
white zodiac
lunar zealot
warped wave
craggy gale
shy abyss
#

flush n practice has much worse chips scaling than pairs, bc it has the same +15 and makes it much harder to dig for blue seals, harder to get scaling chip joker value, can't throw stones, can't dig for bonus cards

shell current
lunar zealot
cosmic sun
#

Play 12 pairs minimum -> play other hands, make sure you know how to use several hands per round to make Obelisk really big

acoustic kettle
lunar zealot
#

so you can beat ante 8 without having it ever reset

alpine hollow
vocal rose
white zodiac
#

13ish

craggy gale
#

So obelisk is more used in ante 8 runs?

acoustic kettle
#

Obelisk is not an endless joker

craggy gale
#

Could see that

lunar zealot
white zodiac
#

more used in gs a8 pair runs and runs that have you play a specific hand type early on

craggy gale
#

Yeah I’ve always just gone endless, didn’t consider how good it could be in ante 8 runs

vocal rose
#

something like lusty joker can be used with no deck fixing typically and will get you through ante 1-2

warped wave
white zodiac
#

whether that be rtb, shortcut, runner, pants, fingers, smeared, etc

lunar zealot
#

obelisk does not show up every run but it is both a natural pivot point and an incredibly good joker; so much so that generally speaking it is always worth playing towards obelisk

vocal rose
#

since your building towards nothing

warped wave
lunar zealot
cosmic sun
#

@warped wave you need more devils in your profile probably

I think i am just an idot tho

shy abyss

#

and then you blue or red seal the gold cards

vocal rose
lunar zealot
#

Obelisk is not guaranteed to appear in every game

alpine hollow
vocal rose
#

you gotta send the image

#

don’t ask that

alpine hollow
lunar zealot
#

and yet it is so good that you should in an ideal world play towards obelisk

acoustic kettle
cosmic sun
lunar zealot
#

Just for the chance to be able to have a good pivot should the opportunity arise

#

and with pair runs that is easy to do

craggy gale
#

I don’t think I even have a sticker on obelisk lmao

cosmic sun
#

and as long as you win the blind then obelisk will scale harder

white zodiac

omg 0.8x mult per round !!

all you need is a scaling +mult and +chips joker which is what you want to do anyway

#

and play lots of pairs which is what you do anyway

cosmic sun
#

if it fails it's on you for not scaling it safely

#

hand scalers in general

lunar zealot
#

And all you need is 14 pairs

acoustic kettle
#

Imagine resetting rtb by accident

#

Skill issue

lunar zealot
#

like at minimum an early obelisk is just driver's license but scaling

shy abyss
#

saying you should always play towards obby is like saying you should always play towards ancient or always play towards license

white zodiac
lunar zealot
#

especially on pair runs

#

because pair runs naturally segue into obelisk pivots

#

I have to go to sleep, so you all can school me tomorrow.

acoustic kettle
#

I mean most runs you're naturally building obelisk

lunar zealot
#

In the same vein you should always play towards blackboard

shy abyss
#

no, you naturally play towards obby when you do pairs with a chips joker you keep forever

acoustic kettle
alpine hollow
#

I have decided that I will stick with my green stake runs, this is too confusing

cosmic sun
#

you can select other planet cards

cosmic sun
#

that pluto, venus, and uranus you ignored in a pack could help a speculative obby

lunar zealot
#

that's literally what you want to do anyway

#

square runner bull castle wee are great

#

Well maybe not runner for obelisk runs specifically

shy abyss
#

that pluto, venus, and uranus i ignored became a death or a hermit in the next fool i found

#

what a way to look at things

lunar zealot
#

i want to reiterate that it is 90% of the time always worth playing towards obelisk when you can

shy abyss
lunar zealot
#

purely because of its scaling alone

vocal rose
lunar zealot
#

X2.4 mult per ante is fucking absurd

white zodiac
#

guys I'm trying to play can y'all be quiet thx

alpine hollow
lunar zealot
#

and?

#

all you need is to beat ante 8

cosmic sun
lunar zealot
#

you don't need to go into endless

white zodiac
lunar zealot
#

and judging obelisk on endless is useless because 95% of jokers are useless on endless

#

How old are you man

acoustic kettle
vocal rose
#

chip jokers are very scarce compared to +mult sources

acoustic kettle
#

Btw

ivory sun

had my first mobile crash

cosmic sun

#

I also dont like having to check my hands amounts every hand i play

lunar zealot
#

is your square joker +36 chips

shy abyss
#

no you don't. but always playing towards obby entails never dropping your chips joker

acoustic kettle
lunar zealot
cosmic sun
#

again, planets lol

lunar zealot
#

+chips jokers are good

vocal rose
white zodiac
lunar zealot
#

And if you get to ante 7 and don't see obelisk you don't have to keep it when you see cavendish blackboard in shop

shy abyss
#

most runs are not square, or bull, or wee. most runs the chips joker that gets you into pairs is a blue or foil or sly

lunar zealot
#

too late to scale obelisk at that point anyway

floral mural
#

keeping a chips joker is good

acoustic kettle
#

I love me my icecream

they are not mutually exclusive

and got to sticker gros and delayed gratification same run lol

#

I feel like your game knowledge is lacking if you can't figure out how to handle chips and obelisk

lunar zealot
#

But enough about obelisk chat

#

let's talk about the ACTUAL best joker in the game

shell current
vocal rose
#

since you shouldn’t drop a chip joker regardless ALOT of times

cosmic sun
#

like surely you've never taken a random pluto

lunar zealot
acoustic kettle
shy abyss
#

im not gonna hold onto a blue joker over a MIR or a duo or a carto or hallu when i have 400 chips on pairs. obviously im gonna hold onto a 200 chip square or wee

alpine hollow
lunar zealot
#

big whoop

vocal rose
lunar zealot
#

If you have level like 30 something pairs then yeah

floral mural
#

obelisk like every other joker has time you dont take them

#

obviously

acoustic kettle
#

Me doing chips first mostly because i only play plasma

shy abyss
#

that's literally what im saying jfc

floral mural
#

ive skipped my fair share of brainstorms and blueprints

shy abyss
#

saying you should always play towards obby is saying you should hold onto your +50-100 chip joker that enabled you to start spamming pairs

cosmic sun
#

he thinks obelisk is harder to play towards than people usually do

stark karma
alpine hollow
floral mural
#

are you not scaling your square or something consistently? being able to ignore planets is good imo

#

for pair strats

shy abyss
#

bro can none of yall read

Horseshoe theory:
hating obelisk because you think it’s bad šŸ¤ hating obelisk because you know it’s incredible but only shows up in ante 1 when you literally can’t afford it and ante 8 when you can’t take it

So obby is a skill check joker

I think the term 'always' is flawed and i do acquiesce that

shy abyss
#

no i did not

white zodiac
shy abyss
#

i said you shouldnt always play towards any rare joker

lunar zealot
#

But on the other hand deliberately not playing towards obelisk sucks ass and given obelisk is so easy to play towards

white zodiac
lunar zealot
#

just do it man

stark karma
#

12 sometimes if I feel ballsy

cosmic sun

šŸ’€

lunar zealot
#

I've had dozens of runs where i have to skip obelisk because it doesn't fit the run

white zodiac
lunar zealot
stark karma
#

But I always forget to play rare hands

white zodiac
#

sure you have runs where it doesn't let obby licks fit in

#

that applies for all jokers

lunar zealot
shy abyss
# cosmic sun šŸ’€

yes, you shouldn't give up present value to play towards potentially finding a rare joker in the future

no like what are you trying to say

alpine hollow
#

what is consumable blocking?

white zodiac
#

the basics of holding consumables to increase the odds of getting the other consumables you want

lunar zealot
white zodiac
#

this is really handy

lunar zealot
#

The only exception is showman

#

This lets you remove say star from the pool

white zodiac
#

also teaches you to play for campfire šŸ˜€

cosmic sun
#

you can take incidental planets and still play for fool

lunar zealot

and increase the chance of finding temperance

stark karma

then again fool is like one part of all the decisions you make and not always a thing so why is it such a big deal

Okay it gave me runner again I think the game wants me to

lunar zealot
#

Like yes i can acquiesce obelisk is not good in every run

white zodiac
lunar zealot
#

but like

#

Dude

#

that was clearly hyperbole from the start

lavish gazelle
lunar zealot
#

i'm not a moron

white zodiac
#

you don't play towards the joker, the joker rewards you for playing normally with a few case by case exceptions

lunar zealot
#

and again obelisk is not viable every run

stark karma
#

Green Deck is genuinely so miserable

lunar zealot
#

but obelisk will always be a viable strategy every rum

white zodiac
#

that you might not be able to cherry pick through a run

lunar zealot
#

from ante 1 you should at least try to play towards obelisk whenever possible

#

because it offers so much

#

and you won't be able to in many runs

cosmic sun
#

killing a boss blind with a pair ante 1

lunar zealot
#

but that doesn't discount that fact in the slightest

cosmic sun
#

small little things

#

yeah, when you can finish with a pair from scoring short from a blind, play it. it has good upside for what's present in the game

optimizing the fun out of the game is how it is

but you know what i find MORE fun
