[acoustic kettle]

Eh you can go however you want

[slate lance]

I already had to learn deck stuff a bit
Painted deck pmo'd

It was my 2nd goldstake

[slate lance]

I'll just do c+ cause again i haven't done any challenges

That egg one seems rlly easy

[acoustic kettle]

I'm going for c++ before c+

[slate lance]

WHAT

[acoustic kettle]

You heard me

[slate lance]

😭

[acoustic kettle]

I'm too deep in plasma to play any other deck

I cannot function without plasma scoring

[boreal oar]

econ maanagement is hardest in jokerless. i always found myself dying to lack of funds rather than being able to fix my deck properly

[slate lance]

Red sealed lucky cards asap then im guessing

[boreal oar]

not even

gold cards

[acoustic kettle]

Gold cards

Red seal on too

Top

[slate lance]

Right

[boreal oar]

red seal is not a guaarantee though i didnt find a red seal in my jokerless win

[slate lance]

U can also technically get cash from blue

Just sell the planets altho not the best

[wintry ice]

gold cards are insane

[wintry ice]

far better to just get the scaling

[boreal oar]

i just found enough saturns to get a big enough score for glass to finish it up

[slate lance]

That'll be fun

[acoustic kettle]

I highrolled my jokerless win and found so many glass

[slate lance]

Whats highroll

[wintry ice]

getting lucky

[acoustic kettle]

Everything goes right

[slate lance]

Ohhh ok

[acoustic kettle]

Got everything i wanted

[zinc karma]

Bets?

[boreal oar]

bloodstone hitting even just once

[boreal oar]

the red man

[slate lance]

Lowkey chicot isnt THE worst

[acoustic kettle]

Perkeo hates me

[slate lance]

Helps quite a bit somstime

[wintry ice]

he isn't

[acoustic kettle]

I never found perkeo

Where is perkeo

Please

[violet bear]

I stole all of your perkeos

[slate lance]

What is THE worst cars in ue fuys opinion

[acoustic kettle]

I opened 40 souls and never got him

[boreal oar]

for getting to ante 8 perkeo is the worst. most of the time it is as effective as a golden joker

[acoustic kettle]

Where the fuck is he

[slate lance]

Imo superposition

[wintry ice]

trib needs your whole college funds and is still the only legendary that's weak to boss blinds

[acoustic kettle]

Superposition is quite strong

[rocky nest]

Whatever, go my straight

[acoustic kettle]

Seance on the other hand

[wintry ice]

idol or showman

both of them only work when you're winning

[slate lance]

Yea but like 10 deaths

WhT if

[boreal oar]

worst card in the entire game? 3 of clubs

[wintry ice]

20$ per round is better than what trib demands from you

[acoustic kettle]

Only got 1 PERKEO FROM 40 SOULS

[slate lance]

Dawg an ace straight for a TAROT CARD
NOT EVEN A SPECTRAL

[wintry ice]

why 3 specifically of clubs?

[zinc karma]

Almost

[slate lance]

I think ive gotten canio the most atp

Canios nice

[wintry ice]

that's far more realistic than what seance asks from you

or idol

or baron

or showman

[boreal oar]

i dont think trib can be considered all that bad when photograph just isnt that bad

[acoustic kettle]

Ace has 2 straights

[violet bear]

I’ve locked myself out of yorick and canio currently 😔

[acoustic kettle]

Low ace and high ace

So

[boreal oar]

i can tell from the game over screen it was a perkeo

[violet bear]

Gold stickered while the others aren’t

[wintry ice]

but we're comparing it to the other legendaries

[slate lance]

Yea but i hust dont know it forves an entire deck build for a seemingly pointless reason

[wintry ice]

the standards are very high

[dense wraith]

well this is a sacrilegious way to make money

[slate lance]

But fine seance might be wors

[wintry ice]

well you don't build towards it long term

[acoustic kettle]

It is

[wintry ice]

you use it for extra value early on

[mild scaffold]

HOOOLY

[acoustic kettle]

Superposition is quite easy to trigger

[mild scaffold]

polychrome green boy...

[violet bear]

That’s certainly a way to econ

[boreal oar]

true. idk could be bias but i find canio and trib take similar amounts of work to get fully online however canio getting to just 2x is more valuable than having an intermediate amount of kings aand queens

[wintry ice]

going for ace straights as your main scoring will only make you die to bad draws

[rocky nest]

You can set up a baron within 8 antes
Its not that bad for just beating game, it just struggles for first like 4/5 antes and needs support

[violet bear]

Holy almost free run

[acoustic kettle]

This feels illegal

[violet bear]

Greenbo obelisk

[rocky nest]

Green on this challange is wild

[wintry ice]

canio needs 1 hanged man while trib needs a strength, hanged man, planet scaling and a weed killer

[wintry ice]

in gold stake?

[rocky nest]

Now only get a yorick and mail

[rocky nest]

Tbh i havent played much gold stake

[boreal oar]

canio does need exactly 1 hanged man or just glass or a trading card but the amount of times those things have taken me antes to find stops me rating canio too highly

[rocky nest]

I have experience with balatro, but not gold stake

[wintry ice]

it's possible in lower difficulties because white stake has no stakes

[tawdry burrow]

When you mug the small blind

[dense wraith]

I was trying to hunt for one voucher to get completionist but then that meme strat showed up

[wintry ice]

even when trib needs more than that?

[tawdry burrow]

I mean I remember getting like 63 bucks off a boss blind one time

[violet bear]

Atp i’m gonna get c++ before getting c myself honestly

[slate lance]

Just do anaglyph for voucher

[wintry ice]

illusion sucks

[boreal oar]

theres more total hits for trib to be improved so on average youll be closer to a mid trib than a mid canio. youre always closer to a good canio than a good trib

[violet bear]

I’ve also still have to buy glow up

[wintry ice]

a mid trib doesn't help in a game where it can't help all of the best jokers

[tawdry burrow]

With anaglyph can you just get like hundred dollars off a boss blind

[violet bear]

Hone is a voucher i honestly never take

[white zodiac]

trib is the only legendary that requires a decent amount of thought to work around for boss blinds (suit debuffs, card draw probability, face cards, etc)

[dense wraith]

I've been swapping decks a lot thinking which one would be best, anaglyph wouldn't let me skip blinds until I reach a voucher skip

[boreal oar]

yeah yorick mogs ik. full house kings & queens with trib is still a nasty score and can give you a fairly free early game even only drawing a couple kings/queens

[vocal rose]

being able to only draw 20/25 out of 52 cards in the early game and only having 8 cards that score with trib?

you're GOING to pass away likely

if its early game trib

[dense wraith]

I never touch at least 1/3 of the vouchers

[boreal oar]

i dont think the odds are that bad. pllus trib does something out of the box whereas canio can sit doing nothing for aa long time

[vocal rose]

the odds are that bad

[violet bear]

Same kinda

[wintry ice]

there are 8 valid cards out of 52

[white zodiac]

canio requires one hang man to match the best x mult jokers in the game.

trib requires moderate to extreme deck fixing which requires money, boss blind safety tools (more money), planets due to timing of the score (more money), and specific joker roster that doesn't usually pair up with the score adding (more money to find trib support jokers)

[violet bear]

Seed money, discard, hand, discount, telescope, sometimes handsize i think are the only ones i take

[slate lance]

Yea but would let u get a good 10 vouchers

[wintry ice]

no overstock or reroll voucher?

[slate lance]

Just reroll till u get the tier1 u wanr first shop

[dense wraith]

hone is just, not the kind of value to look for, and magic trick is fucking useless without hologram, like why would I buy a random naked 7 of diamonds?

[vocal rose]

best decks are blue and yellow

[violet bear]

Oh and overstock

[slate lance]

Meh

[vocal rose]

hone is very inoffensive

if you have the money to spend

no reason not to get it

[vocal rose]

they're boring but they're the best

[violet bear]

Reroll depends on what i’ve got going

I find myself not buying it often

[slate lance]

For gold mayeb
For high runs,plasma and magic

[vocal rose]

why does a voucher depend on what you have

[white zodiac]

the best sports players are often the most boring

[vocal rose]

if it literally benefits your run long term there is zero reason to NOT take it

unless you dont have the econ

[wintry ice]

if you're above the interest cap it's worth taking

[violet bear]

This but i’m inclined to say most of the times its my fault for bad econ management

[vocal rose]

endless is boring and unbalanced

[slate lance]

I have a maths test tmrw, now should i:
A) play balatro
B) study

[vocal rose]

chews day

[white zodiac]

grabber being the only default exception for purchasing below interest cap

[rocky nest]

Max verstapen my beloved

[slate lance]

Whatt 😭

[vocal rose]

overstock

[white zodiac]

mm

[violet bear]

don’t need to buy overstock if you play zodiac

[harsh relic]

?

[vocal rose]

im just making an assumption 🙂

[rocky nest]

Also more golden black wins than golden plasma 🥹

[vocal rose]

overstock+!!!

[slate lance]

I am not British i live in britainmn

[vocal rose]

it was the maths test that made me suspicious

[white zodiac]

plasma can get shot off the map

[boreal oar]

i suppose i low roll hanged man alot idk. most canios ive gotten dont get hot til later on

[mild scaffold]

jesus.

[violet bear]

And planet tycoon and tarot tycoon

[slate lance]

At least we dont say it toooss dayy pike we have no teeth

[vocal rose]

if im on yellow/blue deck and I see overstock in ante 1 im taking it

[wintry ice]

sadderday

[slate lance]

Alr I gtg chatt

[white zodiac]

this is purely a statistical input so unless you want to argue about mathematics and probability then canio by far has more reasonable upside

[rocky nest]

I really hate golden plasma tbh

[boreal oar]

i dont doubt canio is better than trib i just dont think trib is all that bad

[violet bear]

Gold plasma is rough

[white zodiac]

what about accounting for all 15 decks

[vocal rose]

trib isn't bad

I think people get that confused alot

[white zodiac]

trib is good

[rocky nest]

Trib is like very good

[vocal rose]

its just the worst legendary

by a decent bit

[vocal rose]

blue deck allows for safety so I dont pass away round 4, yellow I can just take

[wintry ice]

trib is good but also the most impractical legendary

[vocal rose]

and also the +1 hand money from blue is sometimes just enough

[boreal oar]

grabber ante 1 is usually a take for me if i can afford it

[vocal rose]

other decks im not too confident

[boreal oar]

grabber is a gyoated voucher

[white zodiac]

darn

[vocal rose]

plasma too

[wintry ice]

it can win by itself but it needs a lot of work to get there

[white zodiac]

just grabber then 💔

[vocal rose]

plasma is a non worry too

[wintry ice]

is it worth it to forgo something like grimbo scaling for grabber

[rocky nest]

You gotta build deck for him
But when you actually do its best scoring one (perkaos cryptids dont count)

[white zodiac]

I think plasma i could understand the overstock grab

[boreal oar]

probably not because you can run into it later

[wintry ice]

erm, baron serpent?

[vocal rose]

like outright delete green joker?

to make up the funds for grabber

[white zodiac]

😢

uh yeah

[vocal rose]

I see

[wintry ice]

killing the blinds quickly instead of stalling

[mild scaffold]

best tip for the monolith challenge: ignore the obelisk

[vocal rose]

ohhhh

yeah its 100% worth

I always have a nasty feeling when im using all my hands though

[boreal oar]

oh if you keep grimbus just lose a bit of value then its a take

[vocal rose]

it feels right and wrong

[white zodiac]

I do this on not black deck runs so yeah always worth for the discard

[harsh relic]

why ignore the goat

[wintry ice]

this probably only applies on blue, yellow and green because iirc you need to 1 shot the big blind to affoard it after taking buffoon pack

[vocal rose]

even not in this situation

[rocky nest]

Im talking about legendaries
Like yeah baron serpent is most reliable way for naneinf, but when it comes to legendary that can alone give most score its like best one

[mild scaffold]

theres bigger goats in the pen

[harsh relic]

thats true

[vocal rose]

not really

[violet bear]

Yup

[vocal rose]

obelisk is the best joker there

[boreal oar]

theres a joker in a mod called lost edition that gives 12 bucks if a blind is defeated using all hands and i like the idea. 12 bucks is too much but the idea of generating more value with hands than the money they provide unused is fun

[mild scaffold]

no its not, source: dr spectred arrived to verify my run

therefore youre wrong

[harsh relic]

Square goat green goat

[spiral cairn]

the more of the hand you play the higher chance you get the planet card for it no?

[mild scaffold]

no

thats superstition

[vocal rose]

I can understand the concept but you can do that in base game

[spiral cairn]

buh

[vocal rose]

with using hands as discards for deck value

[white zodiac]

ignore hyper scaling

[vocal rose]

no

[boreal oar]

correct it is very fun to do

[mild scaffold]

ante 9

[harsh relic]

round 24

[spiral cairn]

bru i need death but im getting soul instead

idk

why

[violet bear]

Wait starting with an eternal obelisk is supposed to be a challenge?

[mild scaffold]

starting with card sharp and jimbo is considered a challenge btw

[rocky nest]

And stone cards

[white zodiac]

acorn

[boreal oar]

for obelisk do you guys throw pairs as your highest hand or two pairs

[spiral cairn]

two

[boreal oar]

i do two as well

[violet bear]

Pairs and then swap to spam random hands usually

[spiral cairn]

good boy

[boreal oar]

but pairs are fine too

[harsh relic]

mainly pairs

[white zodiac]

pairs usually. certain jokers may change that ceiling

[wintry ice]

usually pairs

sometimes two pair

[spiral cairn]

should i get rid of canio for baron rn my deck is kings

[boreal oar]

i usually like to run pairs as my main hand so i use two pairs to give obelisk the safety net

[wintry ice]

sometimes even straights or flushes depending on the run

[violet bear]

Id go for the French revolution approach and murder all the kings

[spiral cairn]

also

flush five better then foak in scaling?

[boreal oar]

yes but harder to make and play several of

usually not something youll use in a standard 8 ante run

[spiral cairn]

seeded

im tryna do some funny stuff

[boreal oar]

4oak is just better than 5oak flush 5

oh

[spiral cairn]

in a seeded run

[mild scaffold]

nice distribution

[boreal oar]

oh for high score runs flush five is basically your one of two options the other being high card

[spiral cairn]

why is high card a good option

[quartz ember]

because of baron

[white zodiac]

you can just look at the collection for scaling numbers

[spiral cairn]

im on seeded run ante 7 and i have like 15 kings of diamonds

[boreal oar]

in a flush five 5 cards are being scored. in a high card while only 1 card is scored, around 7 are being held in hand for things like gold, steel and baron

[spiral cairn]

and im not using hang man ive been using death

[spiral cairn]

ohhh

if i get baron ill go for high card then

[boreal oar]

make sure to balance your scoring and retriggers too. 4x4 > 2x8

[buoyant fog]

crazy run rn

[boreal oar]

negative canio looks fly

[buoyant fog]

frrr

[quartz ember]

2x6*

[spiral cairn]

can i like

get a baron

please

[mild scaffold]

yknow whats better than an x8 obelisk?

winning the run

[spiral cairn]

ubt its the same

[quartz ember]

get money

[boreal oar]

bad example i wasnt thinking lmao

[quartz ember]

they meant 4x4 > 2x6

[boreal oar]

thank u

[spiral cairn]

oh

[manic talon]

2X3 > 3X2 because smaller number first

[mild scaffold]

burying this ace in a grave

[spiral cairn]

wait bro i didnt know

[boreal oar]

🪦

[spiral cairn]

the fool only works on tarot and planet

bruh i thought it worked on spectral too

[white zodiac]

both

[manic talon]

reading the card explains the card (sometimes)

[boreal oar]

read the card descriptions carefully

[spiral cairn]

pleb

[white zodiac]

instructions unclear, glassy jimbo is still at x1 mult

[spiral cairn]

lol

[boreal oar]

gloker my goat

[white zodiac]

minus spectral bug

[lunar zealot]

old mcdonald had a farm

[tawdry burrow]

Holy fuck

[mild scaffold]

fair nuff

[boreal oar]

i also need to gold sticker stoker i literally never find it

[spiral cairn]

i feel like constellation better then obelisk no?

no downsides

[mild scaffold]

yeah pretty much

[white zodiac]

different use cases

[acoustic kettle]

Obby scales so fast

[spiral cairn]

yeah

but then theres hologram

[quartz ember]

yes but also

[spiral cairn]

diddy of all

[mild scaffold]

constellation gaming is usually very reliable, unless you dont have econ

[manic talon]

i mean the downsides of conste is you need money or blue seals to feed it

[olive locust]

My fav

[acoustic kettle]

Constellation is more stable and reliable

[mild scaffold]

yeah exactly

[acoustic kettle]

Obby is faster

[boreal oar]

constellation is good and consistent but you could find obelisk in like ante 6 and itll be at 7x or smth by the finisher

[spiral cairn]

vampire + midas mask prints mult

[spiral cairn]

im not very good with hands

i just play the same ones

every time

[acoustic kettle]

I mean obby is still almost 1x mult per round

[mild scaffold]

but i mean, thats all cards

you gotta have support for your constellation the same way you need support for obelisk

[olive locust]

Does obelisk reset when you use your most played hand or no

[mild scaffold]

yes, completely

[white zodiac]

you should read the joker description

[boreal oar]

on paper yeah vampire will gain +0.5x mult per hand but its a combo that takes up 2 joker slots, stops you from getting most value from enhancements and can be matched by other xmulters for half the slots

[mild scaffold]

it goes back down to x1 if you play your most played hand

[white zodiac]

and use it for the answer

[wintry ice]

isn't it 2.4x at most

[acoustic kettle]

2.4x per ante

[wintry ice]

oh

right

[mild scaffold]

its time

[spiral cairn]

oh hell yeah sock is better on this seed

[acoustic kettle]

Right 0.8x per round

[mild scaffold]

its either buclking or crumbling

[acoustic kettle]

Honestly obelisk is absurd with how fast it scales

[red thistle]

Top 5 xmult jokers.

[white zodiac]

one scales .8x per hand in somewhat ideal scenarios and other unconditional scoring sources

one allows steady chip mult .1x mult scaling for what is considered a fat stack of money pile up for spending

[olive locust]

It says it gains mult per consecutive hand played without playing the most played hand ig it doesn't mention that it resets but im js not sure🥀

[boreal oar]

its not a perfect risk reward ratio because the reward is just so big

[loud flicker]

full skipped from ante 3, still haven't lost a step

[olive locust]

Imagine that I'm asking a question to make sure

[loud flicker]

I love black deck gold stake

[white zodiac]

neither does bus so

we got the crash on a more frequent appearance joker

[boreal oar]

ive reset an obby in ante 7 and still won the run easily

it is such an insane joker

[mild scaffold]

that means you never really needed obelisk

[olive locust]

You're not helping twin so like idk what am I supposed to take that

Still doesn't answer my question

[boreal oar]

it got back to like 4.4x and i dont remember one shotting the blind

[acoustic kettle]

I mean i guess obelisk was meant to force you to play low level hands to get the mult

[boreal oar]

but yeah the supporters clutched up

[acoustic kettle]

But it scales so fast that it barely matters

[mild scaffold]

like in general gold stake play you only ever need like 2x mult or 3 xmult

which plenty of more reliable jokers bring

[boreal oar]

yeah card sharp mogs

[red thistle]

It's not that hard to do it with any amount of hands.

[spiral cairn]

should i get rid of something for brainstorm?

yes its seeded

[mild scaffold]

acrobat gaming is my go to

[white zodiac]

which then ends up being an edge finish

[spiral cairn]

someone

i have red seald kingd

kings

[mild scaffold]

its always edge against the crimson heart

[boreal oar]

you lose a bit of money on acrobat but its still a phenomenal joker

[boreal oar]

yorick

[white zodiac]

this specific seed on this specific deck

[boreal oar]

unfortunately

[spiral cairn]

hes giving x12

you sure?

[white zodiac]

had very little prep room

[manic talon]

always kill yorick

[acoustic kettle]

Blueprint gives like

1000

[spiral cairn]

ok bri

yeah ima js do

[white zodiac]

acro let's you farm hands so much safer for econ and value cards

[buoyant fog]

Bro I got canio 2 runs in a row

[red thistle]

Starving constellation.

[white zodiac]

and scaling

[spiral cairn]

if only i had baron

[boreal oar]

brainstrom is an extra trib and without retriggers trib gives up to 64x i think

[spiral cairn]

ok getting rid of

yorick

was good

[spiral cairn]

no i can just copy sock

[loud flicker]

daily reminder to check the boss before anything

[spiral cairn]

even more

[loud flicker]

I feel so dumb...

[heady tiger]

Should I sell Swash for Burglar here?

[white zodiac]

well fed muntathar

[boreal oar]

yeah its sometimes spooky to go down to the last hand though

[white zodiac]

if you're aware of your scoring it's not a big deal

[muted leaf]

furthest i’ve ever made it in golden needle challenge just to get hit with the water boss blind

[spiral cairn]

ok im getting flush five red seals now

thats good

current highest is 23 bil

[muted leaf]

pure pain lol

[quartz ember]

kinda true but tbh any xmult does the same 99% of the time

[buoyant fog]

like this run is almost identical to the last LMAOOO

[red thistle]

Yes and what are you watching.

[boreal oar]

so you copy sock. you have the natural trigger, red seal, sock, brainstorm all giving 2x. that is 4x1 or 4 2xs per card. if you copy trib you have the natural trigger, the red seal and sock all giving 2x twice or 4x

[white zodiac]

most score too fast for the sake of being boss blind agnostic

in a stable situation

[viral raft]

I finally finish ts painting, it's good or nah?

[white zodiac]

even if it's as little as seeing 5 less cards

[red thistle]

Phenomenal. Absolutely brilliant.

[acoustic kettle]

Throwing it back for throwback

[white zodiac]

is it edible

[boreal oar]

cinema

[viral raft]

Yes, that's why in some parts it looks like a ice cream

[acoustic kettle]

Fire

Wait no

It'll melt

[viral raft]

NOOOOOO

Hahaha yeah, some parts needs to dry, i just finish it recently

[spiral cairn]

such a nice run

very sad

ima try ts seed on plasma

gonna get much farther

[buoyant fog]

+40 mult from fortune teller and 15x mult from canio

also antimatter

[subtle loom]

lmao

[fading cobalt]

I hate the fish so fucking much

THE BUILD WAS INSANE TOO

[subtle loom]

me too

[fading cobalt]

I JUST GOT FUCKED WHEN I COULDNT SEE WHAT CARDS WERE BEING PULLED BRO

And the risk of resetting rtb cuz i accidentally played a face card like bruh

[subtle loom]

good run. holograph is one of the best jokers

[fading cobalt]

And Jimbo said maybe go fish is more our speed

I died to the fish bro that is such ragebait

[subtle loom]

oh my god bruh

[subtle loom]

holograph ftw

[fading cobalt]

I got perkeo aswell but couldnt trigger it

The run was looking so peak then the fish fucked me

[subtle loom]

the irony that i got hex and anke

and wheel of fortune gave me a polychrome smiley face

and reroll gave me the acorn

[narrow wadi]

i should probably go for a diamonds build here right?

[stiff fjord]

photochad + canio + pareidolia

[mild scaffold]

theeeere we go

riff raff just casually being the best joker as always

[subtle loom]

truth

[mild scaffold]

jeeeeez

do i just sell riffs?

imma go spaceman riffraff

[narrow wadi]

is this modded? i can't tell why everything is so expensive

+$10 on everything mod?

[acoustic kettle]

Inflation challenge

[subtle loom]

challenge devk

[narrow wadi]

ah ok

never tried those

[mild scaffold]

inflation challenge deck

[loud flicker]

bricking with shortcut

love to see it

[subtle loom]

8 6 4 3 a

[mild scaffold]

omggggg aaaa

do i do it

im afraid of michael breaking

[loud flicker]

oh shit there's an ace

[mild scaffold]

but the spaceman value...

imma do it...

[loud flicker]

god fucking damn it

[subtle loom]

its nkt gonna break

[loud flicker]

my brain is cooked I should call it a day

[quartz ember]

well you still have to get rid of the queen

and 8

[loud flicker]

3 traights would have been more than enough

[mild scaffold]

do i burgler ?

[loud flicker]

level 15 straights

I'm such a dumbass

[mild scaffold]

instead of square?

[soft trout]

what would yall do here? bus is at like 6 while green is at 20 so im thinking replacing it for midas mask + campfire might be the play

[subtle loom]

no

[loud flicker]

1 single jack

[tame cobalt]

Ditch the bus

[mild scaffold]

i made the right choice cuz psy

[loud flicker]

and I was only 6k off

[narrow wadi]

cavendish 1/500 chance to break now, be careful

[loud flicker]

wait I should have sold my luchador and rebate earlier for camp

holy throw of the century

[subtle loom]

mine is worse

iirc

[loud flicker]

that's enough black deck gold stake for the day

[quartz ember]

probably you only needed to sell luchador to not draw so many red cards tbh

[loud flicker]

ye that too

[wintry ice]

you get chips from space joker

[loud flicker]

so many layers to that throw it's hard to quanify

[mild scaffold]

mmm too late or good?

too late and to expensive

nope

[loud flicker]

still got like 4-5 wins on black deck gold stake today already so whatevs

just a sign to call it a day

[mild scaffold]

woa

[subtle loom]

nah.

[mild scaffold]

i told you burgler was worth it

finished it....

jeeez

[subtle loom]

how did you got 17493 money

nvm you reached ante 39

[mild scaffold]

Yeepp

With double chicot

Unseeded too

[shell seal]

Why ur best hand is on hundred millions

[mild scaffold]

Cuz when you hit naneinf the score resets back to 0, I haven't done endless in a while

I would kinda like to get e307 in there tho, but maybe later

[shell seal]

I didnt know that

[mild scaffold]

Yeahhh, I don't know why it happens either

[quartz ember]

"hey boss, what number should I put at this highest score field"
"well all we have is this not a number"
"uhhhhh..."

[balmy ridge]

does a debuffed face card high card ruin bus?

[heavy heron]

that’s crazy

[quartz ember]

it does not

[balmy ridge]

awesome sauce

[mild scaffold]

Nope, you can play debuffed ones

[heavy heron]

what are yall most used tarot cards in stats?

ngl i’m kinda disappointed how many hermits i’ve taken over, like, deaths or hanged mans

money is good but in the past i didn’t understand priorities

i’d have decent joker lineups and 0 deck fixing and still take a hermit

over hanged

[heavy heron]

nowadays i’d trade in a hermit any day for a death

[acoustic kettle]

Better than taking wheel of fortune

[heavy heron]

that is laughably similar

[mild scaffold]

Sometimes you skip death because It's just not that useful in the current situation, and sometimes you don't need more hanged men because you have 20 cards in the deck

Hermit is just like, always good, every single time

[heavy heron]

i agree, deaths don’t do a lot if you don’t have a good card to copy but

[heavy heron]

in the past i’d clearly need more copies of a card and still choose a hermit

and wonder why i couldn’t draw my cards

[heavy heron]

BLUE JOKER

i mean like

[subtle loom]

older

[heavy heron]

you must go endless a lot

[mild scaffold]

mmmh my naneinf skewed my stats so much

[subtle loom]

used to

[heavy heron]

PERKEO IS CRAZY

more perkeos than rebate WHAT THE HELL

LOOLLLL

[mild scaffold]

the problem is that sure, you have a lot of good jokers that get you to ante 8 and they are great

but that one baron run you did that lasted for 90 rounds tends to show up on the score

[heavy heron]

yeah exactly

you can tell if ppl go endless merely through stats

you can take one glance at my stats and tell i never go endless

[subtle loom]

now i play stake deck

[heavy heron]

i never go endless

it’s funny like i hardly even go photochad but they’re just so common that you find them (individually) every run through ante 8

[mild scaffold]

@heavy heron my tarots

[acoustic kettle]

I only got 1 perkeo ever

[mild scaffold]

i really like the emperors

[subtle loom]

more stat

[heavy heron]

makes sense

[heavy heron]

a high card lover

[loud flicker]

this profile is almost exclusively black deck gold stake

[heavy heron]

i like it

[subtle loom]

i was on my endless run ok?

[heavy heron]

HAHA

no judgment high card is cool

[mild scaffold]

my vouchers heheheh

[loud flicker]

planets aren't much of a surprise to me

[heavy heron]

it’s my second most grabbed planet

[acoustic kettle]

Finally it's not flushes anymore

[mild scaffold]

flusher

[loud flicker]

jupiter

[heavy heron]

a fellow flusher

[acoustic kettle]

I think i have 2200 something flushes

Only a bit less than hc

It just changed a few runs ago

[terse vale]

guys go to mercury to uuhhh

[subtle loom]

i alway take the hand

[heavy heron]

it’s funny how drastically different it is to grab either jupiter or high card yet they’re most closely tied together for my top planets i take

[heavy heron]

to win yea yea yea whatever

pair pair pair

[terse vale]

there’s not many words that rhyme with mercury actually

[heavy heron]

i disagree

uhhhh

mercury

learner’s free?

[subtle loom]

+1hand

so tempting

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[heavy heron]

grabbing a mercury means a learner’s free

🤪

bars

[mild scaffold]

go mercury to the victory

[heavy heron]

bars absolute bars

[cosmic sun]

perjury

[heavy heron]

victory doesn’t rhyme with mercury

[heavy heron]

HMMM

[cloud sinew]

there's a lot actually

[shell dagger]

[heavy heron]

oh shoot i’m late to class

[mild scaffold]

go mercury and pledge insanity to the jury

[heavy heron]

yall did this to me

[acoustic kettle]

Mmolate

[mild scaffold]

go mercury and study

[acoustic kettle]

Love mmolate

[terse vale]

I had the word perjury pop into my head there
but these words are juuuuust on the cusp of rhymage

[cosmic sun]

call me burglar the way I help mercury

[mild scaffold]

its gotta be immolate

[cloud sinew]

woah.
ante 8 focused spectral usage

[terse vale]

WAIT

Hercules gets pretty close

[acoustic kettle]

I love how soul is top 2 of my most used spectral

[mild scaffold]

what about jupiter

what rhymes with jupiter

[subtle loom]

soul isnt in there for me

it was

[terse vale]

[acoustic kettle]

I ripped open 46 souls

[terse vale]

[acoustic kettle]

Only ever got perkeo once

[terse vale]

stupider is one

[mild scaffold]

do yall know of any historic jokers that would be cool in balatro?

[shell seal]

Peter

[mild scaffold]

like proper legendary jokers

[loud flicker]

stupider

[mild scaffold]

He's so elusive

He negatived his own spawn rate

Istg

[mild scaffold]

do you wanna see something cool

[acoustic kettle]

Ghost

[heavy heron]

i am a ghost indeed

[cloud sinew]

thats such a ridiculous hyperbole

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

but it’s bars isn’t it

[subtle loom]

so far

[heavy heron]

you can’t say i wasn’t spitting bars

[cloud sinew]

mine is also a bar [hyperbole rhymes with mercury]

[heavy heron]

wait— wait—

[mild scaffold]

Z5KBGJSI

Take the charm tag to get a jumpscare

[heavy heron]

i’d say i always take my mercury but that’d be a crazy hyperbole🤣 🤣

oh that was fire

[cloud sinew]

start it with "me personally"

[balmy ridge]

spare trousers for walkie?

[subtle loom]

look at this guy

[heavy heron]

me personally i love me mercury but that’s big hyperbole

[mild scaffold]

Yeah defo

[cloud sinew]

"i love me mercury" 🇬🇧

[heavy heron]

LOOLLLLLRJGIEOG

[acoustic kettle]

More perkeo than i have ever seen

[heavy heron]

I WANTED TO KEEP IT SHORT

AND CATCHY

[subtle loom]

why js chaos the clown looked luke that

[heavy heron]

ante 5 might be too late to scale pants

but your call

[cloud sinew]

jen's license photo also looks like that

[mild scaffold]

youll get it natty one day im sure of it

sometimes i get soul cards when they dont even benefit my build

[acoustic kettle]

The only time i got it was back when i just started and a dumbass and on white stake

[heavy heron]

if you have 5 full slots for jokers but your judgment carries a negative will it let you rip it despite full jokers

prob not

but it should

[subtle loom]

egg is orange srake because i sold an joker for the egg

[subtle loom]

for hilarity

[mild scaffold]

it would be amazing tbh

cuz it CAN, but it refuses to

[balmy ridge]

thats what i was thinking but walkie is doing nothing cus im playing aces. i took it

[acoustic kettle]

Needs room first

[balmy ridge]

CHAD MOD

everyone is a chad

[mild scaffold]

honestly you know what akickass balatro mod would be?

The inverted tarot cards from the binding of isaac

[subtle loom]

including hanging chad

[balmy ridge]

also stones count as enhanced cards right?

[subtle loom]

yea

[balmy ridge]

no he just looks the same

[heavy heron]

oh yea then might as well but atp i’d just sell talkie and save slot for smth better

[balmy ridge]

all the jokers with faces on them are chads

[subtle loom]

every thing you can get from tarot is enhcnahvement

[acoustic kettle]

Joker votes

[royal bobcat]

yeah actually playing balatro without a goal is boring as fuck maybe i'll play again once the terrible blue stake is reworked

[mild scaffold]

black deck innit

[balmy ridge]

pareidola bus combo goes crazy

[heavy heron]

i think the difficulty alone is fun

white stake is way too difficult though imo

(this is a joke)

[acoustic kettle]

Bus triboulet

[royal bobcat]

300 hours later i still despise blue and orange stake

they bring nothing to the game

[balmy ridge]

yeah idk how people beat white stake

[mint jetty]

Thats a cool shop

[subtle loom]

what about half joker and square

[mild scaffold]

hack triboulet

[heavy heron]

good take

[acoustic kettle]

Baron mime

[heavy heron]

i prefer no stake at all

[mild scaffold]

unironically my first experience with balatro

[balmy ridge]

blank stake when?

[heavy heron]

no 🥩 at all

[balmy ridge]

lol me too, same for most people i imagine

[mild scaffold]

i spent like 6 hours trying and experimenting jokers to see how to get past white stake

[heavy heron]

i think everybody

feels the same

[mint jetty]

What would it do? Nothing? ?

[heavy heron]

ante 8 boss requires 300 chips

[acoustic kettle]

I started on gold stake it's so much easier than white

[mild scaffold]

every voucher has a 30% chance of being replaced with blank

[balmy ridge]

idk i didnt make the game

or maybe like

[mild scaffold]

antimatter stake

-1 joker slot

[balmy ridge]

creative mode idk

[heavy heron]

it wouldn’t be blank stake it’d be a color

[acoustic kettle]

Drawing blank
50% chance for hand to not score at all

🔥

[heavy heron]

gray stake 😳

[balmy ridge]

fire

[uncut slate]

matter stake

[subtle loom]

dats just painted

[heavy heron]

see i like that

[balmy ridge]

fuck painted on the lowks

[heavy heron]

50% chance your hand doesn’t score

[mint jetty]

More like bloodstake then

[lunar zealot]

Jokers have a chance to have an Antimatter sticker
Antimatter - +1 Joker slot

[balmy ridge]

that's just negative?

[heavy heron]

excuse me

[mint jetty]

What does - +1 mean lol

[acoustic kettle]

Negative seal

[balmy ridge]

what if there was a stake with only negative jokers but they're only common

[mild scaffold]

its quantum terms for saying its either +1 joker slot or -1

(i think)

[acoustic kettle]

Deck maybe

Not stake

[heavy heron]

they should add a joker that’s description is “+1 joker slot” but it takes up a slot to have

[unreal island]

+1 joker slot, 1/4 chance joker is debuffed per round

[mild scaffold]

cryptid jokers

[unreal island]

Double oa6 synergy!

[heavy heron]

no but the joker itself gives you an extra slot

but it requires a slot to have

[mint jetty]

Cryptid ahhh stake

[mild scaffold]

would be good for stuff like abstract joker and swash

[heavy heron]

LOL TRUE

[acoustic kettle]

Abstract needs jokers no

[heavy heron]

+3 mult

😍

listen i mean

as an abstract lover

i approve

[subtle loom]

abstract is good

[unreal island]

Golden joker in the top 10

[acoustic kettle]

Abstract when gros michel exists

[balmy ridge]

i like golden joker

[heavy heron]

listen

[balmy ridge]

except when its rental

[heavy heron]

$4 is $4

[violet bear]

Econ is econ

[heavy heron]

obv if i found a rebate id take it over that

[subtle loom]

$5 is $5

$7 is $7

[heavy heron]

you get it

[unreal island]

We should BUFF golden joker to 4.1 dollar

[heavy heron]

you get me

[acoustic kettle]

Rebate ìs so good

[subtle loom]

truth

[balmy ridge]

$4 is $1 if golden is rental

[subtle loom]

doesnt work with red sela

[violet bear]

Destroy 5 cards and $20 is destroy 5 cards and $20

[balmy ridge]

no lol i reset when i get rebate

[unreal island]

0 if it goes under an interest threshold

[heavy heron]

technically nothing upon purchase

[balmy ridge]

rebate sucks sooo bad worst econ joker

[acoustic kettle]

Could be 0 if rental ruins interest

[mild scaffold]

its even worse than that because it can substract from your interest and make it even more costly

[unreal island]

I suppose a rental golden wouldnt be in your best onterest

Ahahahah!

[mild scaffold]

rental golden joker isnt a very good pickup

[heavy heron]

exactly so it’s like -5 really

[acoustic kettle]

Rental eternal negative golden joker

[balmy ridge]

groundbreaking take

[mild scaffold]

i guess but like why 😭

[unreal island]

Ummm... takes a common out of the pool so u can get PHOTOCHAD seems pretty good to me

[mild scaffold]

i wnana make a bee movie meme

[heavy heron]

too big brain for all of us

[mild scaffold]

hold on

[acoustic kettle]

Photochad...

[heavy heron]

i love photochad on level 1 high card personally

1 x 2 x 2 x 2

unmatched

[subtle loom]

hold on

what if theres a challe ge that is only have joker that is for enchancement

stuff like steel joker glassjoker smth like that

[hollow halo]

Unseeded ante 39 wth

[acoustic kettle]

Unironically my best photochad run was high card faces

[unreal island]

8 mult is like really big bc 8 times.anything is like reaaaaally big :3

[heavy heron]

you get me

[hollow halo]

Lowkey wanna try that, that sounds fun as hell

[subtle loom]

you cant get more joker

[heavy heron]

like dude 8 x i don’t know, an ace? 11 x 8 =88 dude that’s already like 1/3rd of ante 1 small blind

this is the most pointless statement i’ve ever stated

[subtle loom]

only tarot and palent and spectral

[subtle loom]

all eternal

[acoustic kettle]

Look at this hand size

[mint jetty]

Should i square up or just take stuntman and not care about it?

[subtle loom]

the humble psychic

[subtle loom]

stintman is -2 hand size

[mint jetty]

And?

[balmy ridge]

the hook is so underhated

[mint jetty]

Its +250 chips

[subtle loom]

less value for faceless

[acoustic kettle]

Faced it before i took ectos

[heavy heron]

nah i hate the hook

worst ante 1 boss blind

i’ll take manacle any day

[hardy fable]

I'm a 51x joker!

[subtle loom]

truth

[subtle loom]

the dude nobody invited

[heavy heron]

hook forces you to either be extremely lucky with discards or pseudo discard early without full control of what cards disappear and what stays

[mint jetty]

I dont care about faceless, uts only there cause riff raff gave it to me

[heavy heron]

hook is literally stupid ante 1

[subtle loom]

then sekl it

[hardy fable]

from what Im getting here is that I'm a good pick

[subtle loom]

square and stuntman

[acoustic kettle]

You were my first gold stake sticker

[mild scaffold]

true, the hook isnt that bad but it can mess me up so much sometimes if i dont draw my hand

[livid loom]

i've been saying this for so long

it's an ante 1 killer, 1000%

[balmy ridge]

twin

also i never realised burglar is actually an econ joker in a way

[mild scaffold]

not too bad if you play flushes or smt

[livid loom]

and like, that's one of the biggest hurdles

[balmy ridge]

extra hands extra money

[subtle loom]

i love blue joker

[heavy heron]

all the time, ante 1 i enter boss without a scoring joker and it’d be a possible blind 99% of the time unless it’s hook

then you are entirely on luck

[livid loom]

blueprint burglar is the secret money method

[heavy heron]

even if you save discards and play hands first

[mild scaffold]

always has been

its even better on blue stake

[west copper]

All jokers lead to Econ

[buoyant ridge]

will my idol survive ?

[heady narwhal]

i sometimes die on the ante 1 big blind if i don't have scoring

[balmy ridge]

bp burglar bs is also a naneinf route for serpent isn't it

[mild scaffold]

ya

[livid loom]

is it? that sounds funny

[balmy ridge]

idol never hits FUCK IDOL

[grizzled jetty]

if a card is holo, will the holo only be applied when the card is played?

[west copper]

Ante 4 idol

[paper night]

ye

[heavy heron]

yes

[west copper]

💔

[buoyant ridge]

i took it in ante 1 lol

[paper night]

on the upside, holo card can be retriggered

[balmy ridge]

copy burglar to get like 21 hands or whatever it is. keep playing high cards to fill hand with steels and baron mime gets naneinf

[west copper]

Ante 1 idol

[hardy fable]

no it needs to score

there's a difference between a scored and played cars

[dense wraith]

green joker carried this gold stake run (and I guess chicot saved me from violet vessel too)

[subtle loom]

i like blue joket

[balmy ridge]

grimbo goated

[heady narwhal]

idol is never the play

[grizzled jetty]

oh, right

[acoustic kettle]

Blue joker good

But like

[mint jetty]

Thanks mr stuntman

[mild scaffold]

aint polychrome green joker just the best

also chicot is the goat

[acoustic kettle]

Ice cream is better

[mild scaffold]

i love chicot

[balmy ridge]

is that the one thats like +2 chips for every remaining card in deck?

[subtle loom]

yep

[heady narwhal]

i prefer blue joker

[balmy ridge]

good for plasma i guess otherwise hate that guy

[acoustic kettle]

I prefer banner

[heady narwhal]

blue joker can last a really long time

[mild scaffold]

i wonder how many people know that with two chicots you only need to score 22.222 points in the violet vessel...

[subtle loom]

i orefer bull

[subtle loom]

88888 on gold stake (purple or higher)

[hardy fable]

we all know what's the best chip joker though

[acoustic kettle]

I prefer stuntman

[mild scaffold]

mhm

[dense wraith]

I also had marble + hologram

[heady narwhal]

probably most of the people who know this are on green stake or higher where you need to score 66,667 or 133,333 points

[acoustic kettle]

What about like 10 chicot

[west copper]

Chicot is x mult, chicot is scoring, chicot is Econ, chicot is +mult

Is there anything chicot can’t do

[acoustic kettle]

Can he get me money

[west copper]

Yep

[subtle loom]

cbicot is econ?

[heady narwhal]

ox and tooth

[mild scaffold]

youd probably need to score at leaast 10 points

[west copper]

Disables the OX and tooth

[subtle loom]

is it the neddle

[heady narwhal]

and temperance value

[hardy fable]

synergize with matador

[mild scaffold]

against the ox and the tooth, yes

[subtle loom]

and its +mult

[acoustic kettle]

Can chicot help me find a job

[west copper]

Yep

[west copper]

Chicot can’t do anything physically impossible

[night turret]

I used to pray for times like this

[acoustic kettle]

💔

[grizzled jetty]

does this card reset each round or what?

[serene forge]

skips blind

[livid loom]

not particularly amazing but regardless really interesting buffoon pack draw

[acoustic kettle]

It doesn't

[heady narwhal]

you can trigger matador with chicot in one specific and useless scenario

[subtle loom]

no

[grizzled jetty]

oh

[hardy fable]

every hand it gives you less chips

[subtle loom]

yknow

[mild scaffold]

if his planet levels are high enough he can maybe clutch up misprint

[heady narwhal]

(double or nothing challenge)

[subtle loom]

i did the omelette challenge deck quite late

[dense wraith]

he doesn't even have xmult at ante 5 😭

[acoustic kettle]

Looks like a plasma run tbh

Mine

[heady narwhal]

love that they posted this only after they got to the boss blind like did they not notice until then

[subtle loom]

that a red deck

[heady narwhal]

omelette is pretty hard i think

[night turret]

Annnd I got fucked anyway

[subtle loom]

yes

[serene forge]

omelette is strangely challenging for the first one

[acoustic kettle]

Omelette is like easy ish but easily cheesed

[subtle loom]

xray is another one i did late too

[brazen sail]

gonna be ETERNALLY balling

madness next shop trust

[subtle loom]

and yet the later challenge took me way less attempt

now only 3 last challenge

3 brutal challenge

[heady narwhal]

easily cheesed
look inside
you have to get one of two specific jokers

granted i did get glass joker on fragile and ceremonial dagger on inflation etc etc but that's beside the point

[subtle loom]

excpet for inflation and monolith ig

[hardy fable]

I got acrobat on needle

[lunar zealot]

They should delete the mark

Literally fucking does nothing

[acoustic kettle]

Amazing xmult

[lunar zealot]

house wheel and fish at least do something

[subtle loom]

i just do flushes and jupoter on fragile

[mild scaffold]

flush house build?

[acoustic kettle]

What does mark do

[heady narwhal]

what are facecard bosses that aren't plant and also actually do something

[acoustic kettle]

[mild scaffold]

flips all face cards upside down

[lunar zealot]

Verdant leaf

[hardy fable]

no see face card

[brazen sail]

ETERNAL GAMING

locked. in

[heady narwhal]

so false verdant leaf doesn't do anything

[mild scaffold]

do not plant this man

[lunar zealot]

mark literally does less than nothing

[acoustic kettle]

Can't remember unrelevant boss jokers

[heady narwhal]

it's slightly inconvenienced me on a shoot the moon run once!!!

[violet bear]

Markiplier when the balatro community kills him:

[heady narwhal]

but yeah

[grizzled jetty]

what do i take? yellow deck

[subtle loom]

ah yes holograph

[heady narwhal]

i think part of the reason mark does nothing is because plant exists

i don't want to build facecards anyways

[serene forge]

I hate The Eye

[heady narwhal]

there's also the part where it's incredibly easy to tell which cards the facedown cards are, even more so than usual, because of sorting

[balmy ridge]

put hologrpah right

[mild scaffold]

tbh like, outside of sock, triboulet, midas mask, and mayyyyyybe baron, theres very few benefits to playing face cards

[subtle loom]

green after holo is crazy

[brazen sail]

fuck it im eternal gaming 💯 %

[acoustic kettle]

[mild scaffold]

the biggest benefit of face cards are the chips they provide
