[full iris]

bro u in shop 1

[shell current]

if you take greedy you guaranteed get to ante 3 if you don't take greedy and there is no scoring in the first ante 2 shop you die to a2 small blind

[north schooner]

and?

[pale wolf]

bet no-sticker trousers is in the pack

[shell current]

if you don't care about dying in ante 2 and going next then save for the voucher

[full iris]

u gon ask what cards to play in round 2 next?

[cloud sinew]

you can take the buffoon if you feel like it but I think it's a worse play on average

[autumn vector]

What should I look for at the start of the run for a plasma deck I just got it

[pale wolf]

chip

The blue numbers

[north schooner]

no, but grabber vs joker is an interesting choice

[cloud sinew]

ok vro pipe down, you got here 5 days ago

[inland blaze]

Which one? Im at ante 2 and have 2 lucky cards

[pale wolf]

lmfao

take blueprint

[cloud sinew]

blueprint

[willow frost]

2 lucky cards you say

[winter pike]

for the +10 on dagger

[inland blaze]

Ok

[lost vault]

i hope the next update includes envious slothful and prideful joker

[pale wolf]

that rental perishable oops is NOT it

[full iris]

i think im making a fair point regardless

[winter pike]

that was a joke

dont do that

[inland blaze]

Ik

[autumn vector]

Nooooo

[pale wolf]

with 3 new suits

[cloud sinew]

your point is "do it yourself" which is not a good point

[lost vault]

genious

[shell current]

technically +ev if they play both lucky cards

[autumn vector]

Like what tag

[willow frost]

moon star and crown, my favourite

[cloud sinew]

3 new suit bosses

[median crystal]

What do i sell im playing 2 pair

[autumn vector]

Or should I not get tags

Idk I may be playing wrong

[cloud sinew]

STM

[willow frost]

shoot the moon

[cloud sinew]

you can copy baseball

and not hurt scoring by being brainstorm and not blueprint

[lost vault]

might be better to copy holo too

[cloud sinew]

might be, but not likely

[lost vault]

tho

[north schooner]

as if people don't discuss opening moves in chess

[full iris]

my point is, shop 1 is not a decision that needs to be discussed, just hit r if its that bad 🥀

[cloud sinew]

yes it does, also no you shouldn't do that

[willow frost]

im assuming holo is above X2.25 by ante 10

[cloud sinew]

if you want to get better, you shouldn't just give up if things get too hard

[cloud sinew]

it's brainstorm, not blueprint

[north schooner]

what? It's not bad

[cloud sinew]

you need to think about base mult Vs xmult Vs +mult

[full iris]

well you wont get better if u get ur food chewed into your mouth either

[cloud sinew]

being told what's optimal means you now know what's optimal in that scenario

[white zodiac]

can't learn from future mistakes if you do this

how else did I get to university taking this kind of advice in a general term

[willow frost]

well ok i'd need to see values on the jokers and planet levels to make a better judgement

but yeah

[white zodiac]

(is procrastinating rn)

[full iris]

got it, i will ask for optimal hands to play every round from now on

just to learn from it

[white zodiac]

now you're getting it

[north schooner]

well well well, if it isn't my future mistakes

[pale wolf]

no not skip, chips

[full iris]

Aces lowkey need more support imo

[pale wolf]

skipping is almost always bad

[pale wolf]

they have plenty of options between being far left in sorting order, having fib, being a guaranteed rank from grim and close to strengthing from familiar, and being 10% more base chips than faces

[floral mural]

also ride the bus aces are great

[white zodiac]

tell him about the ace tech for rtb

[pale wolf]

yea part of far left advantage

[white zodiac]

I like the far left

[full iris]

I dont realise that aces letting u dump ur facecards was that significant

[pale wolf]

It's only relevant for ride the bus

[full iris]

u could also just play any pair and dump faces that way

[pale wolf]

yeah but this means you don't have to use up a pair to do it

You can hold the pair in case you draw faces and no Aces next hand

[vocal rose]

fuck

[pale wolf]

games cheating

[full iris]

doesent seem like much of a concern but i suppose you are right

[vocal rose]

I had holo for two antes and only got 1.5x

[wintry ice]

no need for +mult when blue seals are a thing i guess

[floral mural]

aces are also a good generic rank since theyre not shut down by any boss blinds and can be strengthened into 2s which is a great rank

[pale wolf]

Anything you can do to eliminate the chance of forced reset is worth it

[wintry ice]

and also 6.4x mult constellation

because zodiac deck

[tepid skiff]

Is that modded or a texture pack?

[vocal rose]

this attempt made me move constellation over hologram

[pale wolf]

mod

[full iris]

you are just very likely to draw into another pair when you are redrawin 4-5 new cards

[vocal rose]

because no way did I only find 2 standard packs in two antes

[wintry ice]

extra credit

[pale wolf]

very likely doesn't mean guaranteed, same reason you don't build high card stack for obelisk

[wintry ice]

the left one fills your consumables with fools after a boss blind

[floral mural]

with ride the bus you wanna reduce the chance of a reset

[wintry ice]

the other one is

[white zodiac]

water into face cards or forced hc with less digging room/greed/stm

[wintry ice]

i'll send the image because it's hard to explain

[white zodiac]

when I first explained it I had stm as well so if that amounts to anything

[tepid skiff]

Ohh that's the balanced mod that roffle played

[wintry ice]

the jokers it adds are pretty fun so far

monte haul is fun

[vocal rose]

ffs

292 flush

chad is still good tho

[wintry ice]

black deck

[pale wolf]

tbh chad > rtb here

[tepid skiff]

Theres a credit card in the buffoon pack

[white zodiac]

rtb on black

[pale wolf]

it would be hilarious decision to open a pack instead of taking chad

[wintry ice]

why it has to be perishable

[north schooner]

Help, the hole in my pants makes them go too fast

[floral mural]

perishable piss card hmm

ok pocket aces sounds really strong since it resets per ante and not pet round

am i missing something?

[wintry ice]

no it's just overpowered

[pale wolf]

what the fuck

[shell current]

does it work with chad?

[pale wolf]

what was extra credit thinking

[wintry ice]

also is square worth going for

if burnt is there

[stark karma]

hey guys I wanna make fanart but I need some help with ideas, could I ask here

[tepid skiff]

What does that thing to the right of ride the bus do

[floral mural]

i think square is fine to skip then even if its still viable to scale since burnt is already there

[wintry ice]

makes sense

[fervent wolf]

Mystery box: rare: $7

Sell this Joker to open a random pack

Rental:no perishable:yes copyable:yes eternal:no

[white zodiac]

nah, unless you're concerned about flint and barely scoring with full power hands

[shell current]

guy scoring a naneinf hand in an irl casino

[north schooner]

Finally, some scaling

[stark karma]

no I wanna draw this as a naneinf build lol

baron def in the middle

burglar in the back?

[white zodiac]

[winter pike]

mime or burger

[tepid skiff]

The penguins just staring

[stark karma]

the three ladies are bp, bs and mime?

not sure who the penguin is, maybe perkeo?

or I remove him

[shell current]

showman

[winter pike]

the serpent

[stark karma]

this could be hype

now question

do I have 4 copy jokers or just 1 of each lol

not sure how to arrange them

[solid tapir]

wee

[glass creek]

The penguin has absolutely no idea what's going on

[tepid skiff]

I love wee

[glass creek]

Clueless penguin

[solid tapir]

same

[shell current]

blueprint and brainstorm as 4 palette swapped reis lmao

[vocal rose]

do I sell one for golden joker…

[solid tapir]

this is honestly a tough decision

but I think it is correct to sell one pants for econ

[stark karma]

wait what about the others

[solid tapir]

two reasons:

1. you will scale one pants faster for better scaling (not winning fast)
2. you will have money

[vocal rose]

that’s what I did

[solid tapir]

yeh

[white zodiac]

thought we were playing the same seed for a sec

[pale wolf]

todays balatrodle in 2
spoilers, spoiler text your replies to this

[solid tapir]

wow

[solid tapir]

I like this joker

[tepid skiff]

I forgot about balatroodle ima go do it

[quasi turret]

hi, can i ask a silly question?

[north schooner]

Oh no....

[pale wolf]

if it's too silly we shoot you

[solid tapir]

he showed up

[quasi turret]

oh
well, valid

[shell current]

if you like read it left to right it could be asuka mime, 3 blueprint reis, baron shinji, brainstorm misato, then burglar gendo

[stark karma]

another consideration is not doing a naneinf thing

[quasi turret]

how hard is making a straight build comparing it to other builds?

[stark karma]

and doing baron surrounded by awful jokers

[white zodiac]

prob 3rd or 4th easiest

[stark karma]

yknow obelisk stuff like that'

[winter pike]

depends on the deck

[shell current]

anaglyph deck negative skip

[pale wolf]

complexity, decently difficult, consistency is up there but not the best

[north schooner]

Saturn scaling makes it very viable to win with one hand. Cut the ends of your deck and taper the edges.

[shell current]

ok now don't you start with that

[quasi turret]

wich would be the best for it? i wanna do one but it tends to be really inconsistent, i have better luck with full house xd

[winter pike]

abandoned and painted it becomes far easier

[quasi turret]

from 10 to 6 kind of thing?

[winter pike]

abandoned because you start with only 40 cards

and painted because you can draw them far more consistently

[shell current]

zodiac is a distant third

[north schooner]

Well, just start by cutting aces and 2s and move inward

[tepid skiff]

Saturn gives just as much as mars

[winter pike]

the most distant third

[quasi turret]

waos, abandoned really is that good uh?

[winter pike]

yes

12 less cards is pretty good

[north schooner]

You already have 12 cards cut from one end

[shell current]

with nebula 4th but all my homies hate nebula deck

[quasi turret]

that was the deck that gives you 3 vouchers from the beginning?

[winter pike]

that zodiac

nebula gives you telescope

[quasi turret]

i honestly dont like it, i have a bad luck there

[winter pike]

and -1 consumable slot

[inland blaze]

I will soon beat gold stakes 😝 😝 😝

[quasi turret]

aaah
yeah, it sucks xd

[vocal rose]

???

[white zodiac]

3rd best good kinda good

[vocal rose]

how the fuck

[winter pike]

yeah i dont like it either

[vocal rose]

I literally was trying to throw the run

and somehow this was the best thing ever

[winter pike]

it's fate

[shell current]

zodiac deck, more tarot cards means marginally more hanged man and more planet cards means more saturn

[winter pike]

what was it

[shell current]

but that's not as much of a boon as tiny deck or bigger hand size

[north schooner]

Also, discarding/drawing tactics are needed. Try not to draw to an inside straight (where you need a card in the middle). If you have three in a row in your starting hand, start discarding for that straight. If you can afford throwaway hands to use as discards, go for it.

[quasi turret]

i guess ill have to try

[north schooner]

It's perkeo. Only one without a gold sticker.

[solid tapir]

Wily my first gold sticker in this collection of jokers

[winter pike]

my second least favourite

[white zodiac]

it's just math at the end of the day

[quasi turret]

oh, so thats why i always lack that card in the middle xd

[north schooner]

Painted is a good one to start with, and once you get used to it, you'll get better at other decks

[quasi turret]

i dont remember if i have it unlocked, but it really helps

now i just wish a shortcut negative

[north schooner]

old poker adage "never draw to an inside straight"

I mean, I'll do it with some light deckfixing, or in a desperate spot, but just know it's much less likely.

[north schooner]

Shortcut is a crutch honestly. 4 fingers is ok.

[inland blaze]

Is it normal that i have almost 25 hours playtime and havent seen a single legendary joker yet?

[north schooner]

Depends how fast you play.

[inland blaze]

I just beat gold stakes

[tepid skiff]

A soul has a 0.3% chance of replacing a card

[north schooner]

I was thinking I might be able to speedrun with the perishable holo family in the shop, but now I gotta decide whether to sticker perkeo or not

[white zodiac]

essentially:

• soul has a 0.3% chance to spawn when rolling for a tarot card
• soul has a 0.2991% chance to spawn when rolling for a spectral card because it's sometimes overridden by the roll for black hole
• when rolling for an arcana pack card with omen globe, there's an 80% chance to do the tarot roll and a 20% chance to do the spectral roll
• so the odds of getting a soul with omen globe are 0.29982%

[north schooner]

Another strat is to pick up Runner and build pairs while playing the occasional straight. But if you want full straight build, you'll need more deckfix

[inland blaze]

i have 25.6h playtime damn, time goes by so quick when playing balatro

[quasi turret]

as always, pairs being good

[ember prairie]

Good evening champions. I am looking for the big number. Any experienced with this pursuit able to take a look. It's been a long day waiting in a hospital for a family member recovering from brain 🧠 surgery and I am running out of gas and not quite sure where to go from here.

[north schooner]

Does black hole check come before soul?

[white zodiac]

independent

[tepid skiff]

0.6% from spectral pack 0.9% from arcana pack 1.2% from mega and jumbo spectral packs and 1.5% from jumbo and mega arcana packs

[buoyant ridge]

anyone else has this issue that glass cards dont break after you pick up the glas joker ? i had like 6 glas cards after glas joker and they just wont die , damn

[solid tapir]

yes

glass joker is a pickup when you want to strengthen your glass cards to tempered glass

[inland blaze]

lol

[winter pike]

thats not how probability works

[buoyant ridge]

and if just need a regiulary glass card to survive my run, they just die in their first hand LOL

[white zodiac]

independent events are not additive if you're trying to rationalize event probability

[tranquil cargo]

for small probabilities, they approximately are

[white zodiac]

whatever that means

[buoyant ridge]

me with glas joker: alright time do not head out

without glas joker to survive 2 more antes: alright imma gonna break now

[solid tapir]

this is true

[winter pike]

it means what it says

[flint sedge]

Rate me Jonklers (Ante 10)

[winter pike]

it means this is approximately true

[winter pike]

what is this amalgamation of shit

[tepid skiff]

Your going naneinf with this one

[heady narwhal]

scary face: c tier (b+ tier with foil)
trousers: a tier
raised fist: b tier (not much better with negative since you can't afford a $10 joker early)
blueprint: s tier
hanging chad: a tier (s tier with polychrome)
throwback: d tier

[white zodiac]

the epic endless tier list

[tepid skiff]

All you would want is pallete I feel like

[winter pike]

and money

very poor

[tepid skiff]

Your gonna need to sell a baron for dna

[flint sedge]

Trousers are giving me more than +40mult and Throwback is giving me X3.5Mult (cause I skip a bunch)

Raised Fist sucks but I got it for free so eh

[ember prairie]

Sell bs for DNA and don't be poor. Got it

[tepid skiff]

Are you going for naneinf or just a big score

[winter pike]

something like that

[tepid skiff]

Its most likely not naneinf unless you find an ecto and dna but next time you should do gold instead of steel

In than start making steel around ante 20

[night turret]

Do they retriever?

retrigger*

[cloud sinew]

more like a-, poly doesn't help much and makes it harder to buy

[cursive lion]

😈

[tepid skiff]

Yes

[night turret]

Thanks

[cursive lion]

the funniest part is that it wasnt even a flush build since i found runner first round and since it was a scaling chips joker i tooki t

nor found any lucky card triggers so kitty is hungry 💔

[cloud sinew]

baseball is funny because putting it leftmost is a litmus test

[cursive lion]

litmus test?

[tepid skiff]

No dont sell brainstorm for dna sell a baron

[cursive lion]

it would funny if i found a negative tag or something

[cloud sinew]

"a decisively indicative test" -
it shows whether you understand how baseball works and not just treating it like any other xmult joker

[night turret]

Risk the reroll? I’m really trying to beat this bind

[cursive lion]

yeah

[ember prairie]

Thank you. I should have gone ahead and calculated whether gold or steel much earlier. I will keep that in mind too. Its not my first try at this of course but one of my better attempts..I just knew it isn't quite going to make it but I couldn't remember what to do

[white zodiac]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[cloud sinew]

it's the only xmult in its class tbf, photograph is a fine joker it's just overrated because of chad

[stark karma]

it's wonderful with any common card mult jokers

[cursive lion]

🔥

[tepid skiff]

Usually the main naneinf run killer is not finding an ecto but a strategy you can use is sixth sense dna

[cloud sinew]

if chad gets nerfed people are gonna have a rough time justifying photograph's place in tierlists

[stark karma]

chad is so good, "if" shouldnt even be there

[lament crater]

mult is overrated anyways

[tepid skiff]

I think instead of nerfing them one of the two should become an uncommon

[cloud sinew]

why

that doesn't fix the core issue

[stark karma]

that's most likely happening

and its chad all the way

[cloud sinew]

rarity changes only affect appearance rates, not the value they generate or how often they're taken when you have them

it doesn't fix the core issues at all

[wintry ice]

rarity isn't a factor on how good something is

[cloud sinew]

barring tags, baseball, wraith, riff-raff*

[white zodiac]

price

[cloud sinew]

price isn't rarity dependant

[tepid skiff]

One of the main issues is how is easy is to obtain with them both being commons if one is uncommon than it will be like other really good uncommon synergies that are hard to find like oops bloodstone or vampire midas mask

[cloud sinew]

those are independent values

[white zodiac]

no I mean price nerf for chad

[tepid skiff]

Photochad isn't very good in the late game so I dont think it really matters

[cloud sinew]

"late game"?

if you mean endless, thats irrelevant

[white zodiac]

actually nvm

[floral mural]

lategame you mean endless or ante 8

[wintry ice]

lategame in reference to ante 6-8 or

[tepid skiff]

Oh ok

[cloud sinew]

changed cause it was rude and unnecessary

[floral mural]

because chads the easiest retrigger to get for every sjngle on score joker

and usually youre not just retriggering one effect with chad

[cloud sinew]

so nothing matters outside of naneinf strategies?

[floral mural]

chads good

[stark karma]

its a very good retrigger joker because of how consistent it is

[vocal rose]

yes!

[opaque vine]

hey yall ,first time chatter, idk what to do, do i take steel joker to beat ante 24 boss blind?

[floral mural]

chad being a no strings attached common retrigger joker is very good

[cloud sinew]

no

[stark karma]

hell no

[vocal rose]

lmfao

[winter pike]

it would do nothing

[opaque vine]

thats waht i though

t

[white zodiac]

first time chatter we have some news

[opaque vine]

but making sure

[vocal rose]

that would tank your score by so much

[night turret]

67

[stark karma]

each of your kings is worth like 2 steel jokers

[white zodiac]

um

[stark karma]

maybe not lol

[white zodiac]

at least 3

[cursive lion]

just need mult

[vocal rose]

take both

[tepid skiff]

You brought up rarity doesnt matter so I just thought we were assuming you have enough money to find anything so I thought we were talking endless

[stark karma]

drunkard is +mult

[cursive lion]

i dont have enough money 💔

[cloud sinew]

what

[white zodiac]

gonna assume he cropped the money for some reason

[vocal rose]

yeah

[floral mural]

rarity doesnt matter since if you see an option wheter you take it every or not shows if its too good

[vocal rose]

i have NO CLUE WHY PEOPLE DO THAT

[floral mural]

rebste could be a rare but itd still be too good

[vocal rose]

holy shit its so easy to take a full screenshot 💔

[cloud sinew]

I said "rarity doesn't matter" because appearance rates don't matter* for joker balance imo, what matters is how often it's worth taking WHEN it appears and how much value it generates WHEN you have it.

[winter pike]

i love when people crop out parts of the game

[cursive lion]

i forgor

HOW HARD IS IT TO DO THIS

[white zodiac]

hmm make rebate a legendary

[floral mural]

ok actually i grew to dislike rebate a lil.

[white zodiac]

omfg

[vocal rose]

yeah its too good

[floral mural]

its so boring and easy

[quasi turret]

do you think i should take the metal?

[white zodiac]

im biased because spending hours on black deck does something to me

[cursive lion]

mystic foil tag pull and hex starter for ghost

[floral mural]

how much steel in deck?

[barren wigeon]

orange stake completed

[wintry ice]

how many steels

[winter pike]

whats it at

[cursive lion]

how much steel

[quasi turret]

(sorry for the bad cut xd)

[barren wigeon]

3oak build for some reason

but it worked

[white zodiac]

no you cropped again

[tepid skiff]

Oh ok I get what your saying now

[night turret]

Cmon blue print

[floral mural]

3oak good hand type tho

[night turret]

CMON BLUEPRINT

[barren wigeon]

yeah it worked out for me

[quasi turret]

1.4, i havent gotten much death or chariot

[cursive lion]

okay sorry here you go

[floral mural]

then no skip the steel joker

[night turret]

FUCK

[cloud sinew]

like, if a joker generated 2 billion negative tarot cards a round it would be unbalanced no matter how rare it was unless it never appeared

[winter pike]

i hate how negative blueprint looks

so disgustingly ugly

[barren wigeon]

I agree with you

negative brainstorm though...

[winter pike]

seems balances to me

[white zodiac]

since it never appears

[winter pike]

negative brainstorm

[vocal rose]

is this how newer players view perkeo

[winter pike]

the things id let that joker do to me

[barren wigeon]

???

[floral mural]

id let it copy my burnt joker for double pair levels

[cursive lion]

blueprint maybe sock or wrath?

[winter pike]

🙂

[barren wigeon]

gang

do not ask such a terrible question again

[vocal rose]

what the fuck would sock do over a blueprint

[winter pike]

are we serious

[cursive lion]

its a pick TWO

im got blueprint

im asking for THE SECOND

[cloud sinew]

WE CANT SEE THAT

[white zodiac]

you have shot cropping skills

[cloud sinew]

you didn't say that either

[white zodiac]

shit*

[winter pike]

OR

or implies one

no?

[cursive lion]

sorry heres my best yet

[cloud sinew]

"blueprint maybe sock or wraith"

[vocal rose]

alright

[barren wigeon]

speaking of negative brainstorm

[barren wigeon]

take todd

[winter pike]

o

wait

[cloud sinew]

I think you take brainstorm here

[winter pike]

can i like

not read?

[vocal rose]

how the FUCK

DID THAT HAPPEN

this chat literally willed

[barren wigeon]

my ecto just hit brainstorm too

[cloud sinew]

you probably can't read but that isn't the problem here.
It was worded very poorly

[cursive lion]

my fault

[night turret]

It’s like those docs that tell you about a serial killer and puts a reverse flitter on his photos

[winter pike]

thanks 🥲

[night turret]

And he played a wonderful part

[winter pike]

i need to up my literacy skills

im actually horrendous at reading

I have acquired the one person to ever beat doc

But I won,

But it is a nef6

dunno what you're on

shortcut is a peak joker

[tepid skiff]

I just joined the cryptid discord to give you a little extra mult

[muted mesa]

THANK YOU

MORE MULT

[cursive lion]

shortcut is good but only good for like straight or four hands joker builds sorry

its mainly that its mainly for straights its good

[white zodiac]

it's mainly that it's mainly

[wintry ice]

instant straight build

[cursive lion]

im doing pairs

[wintry ice]

it's somewhat that it's somewhat

[white zodiac]

shorty makes your build into a straight build

[barren wigeon]

I love suck and bustin

[wintry ice]

shortcut makes straights as consitent as like

two pair

[barren wigeon]

probably slightly more consistent

[proven anvil]

Idle is online with full deck of gold seal lucky kings of hearts. How do I expand this run as far as possible

[winter pike]

Take diet colas and maybe do golden ticket

[random ice]

Don't let people tell you Even Steven isn't good enough base Mult because it's alright actually and sufficient for the endgame

That Wee Joker though

My god

[white zodiac]

steve is good mult

[vocal rose]

even steven is a decent source of mult

[random ice]

Like it's no Fib

But it's nice

[tepid skiff]

Because it could hit idol which could ruin the baron mime pivot

[random ice]

It does the job

Also it's before Steel

And Glass

Which is a boon

[white zodiac]

well if you wanna include that then steve is vulnerable to more boss blinds and card draw variance

[ornate adder]

Oh I didn't think of baron mine pivot

You can naneinf with idol, no?

[tepid skiff]

Im pretty sure only with crimson bean or getting really really lucky

[white zodiac]

that requires far more materials that is too late to obtain atp

[ornate adder]

I see I see

[ocean lily]

Probably with the chicot bug and glass red seal or some shit, but i doubt it

Wait, chicot bug wont help

[white zodiac]

that still requires baron

[vocal rose]

if you do manacle bug or crimson bean bug yes

[ocean lily]

Unless u have steel

[tepid skiff]

It does and same with crimson bean because of ectos

[proven anvil]

So no ecto you’d pivot baron mime?

[ornate adder]

Why do you need extra hand size for idol naneinf?

[tepid skiff]

Ectos

[ornate adder]

Oh that's right

[ornate adder]

Yeah don't listen to me I haven't even won a gold stake run ever

[north schooner]

Do I sell spoker before I pop the ecto?

[terse dock]

Good evening balalacord

[white zodiac]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[winter pike]

dont be silly, just get negative showman into many many negative blueprints and brainstorms

[tepid skiff]

You could always go for a money highscore because that's something idol has that baron doesnt

[proven anvil]

I think that’s what ima do naninf w baron mime takes to much brain power rn lol

[white zodiac]

not really tied to scoring jokers, you could just run your casual rebate/ticket/parking things

there are videos around

[tepid skiff]

If you do sell photo first

[vocal rose]

wondering if I should do this black deck++ on mobile or pc

or maybe switch...

[white zodiac]

im doing it on mobile atm

[vocal rose]

I've done c++ on mobile and pc

[white zodiac]

best one to do while on the throne

[vocal rose]

might have to do it on the third device

[vocal rose]

I might be the first person to do naneinf like that

[white zodiac]

wait what why

[tepid skiff]

Money high scores will be pretty simple just do golden ticket and copy sock and golden ticket until the last hand

[north schooner]

I already miss him 😢

[white zodiac]

that's like 2 hours of hemorrhages

[vocal rose]

okay it wasnt from start to finish

😭

[white zodiac]

oh

yeah

[north schooner]

He came back!

[white zodiac]

im also like outside 80% of the time so i kinda have to play on mobile

[cloud sinew]

I should break up with my boyfriend, if he comes back he loves me /j

[manic talon]

REAL AND TRUE AND NOT TOXIC AT ALL

[north schooner]

"set it free" doesn't have to mean breaking up

[manic talon]

Me when i have to put my pet goldfish down the drain to set it free

[balmy ridge]

how the fuck does anyone fucking use superposition shit joker fuck this card

[white zodiac]

you ignore it most of the time

[cloud sinew]

by playing hands that contain a straight and an ace

[balmy ridge]

true but i wanted to try using it cus i literally never have and it came from riffraff

[white zodiac]

play your funny middle rank pairs

[round nexus]

thank the lord and savior mr bones for saving me from the flint

[tepid skiff]

Me when asgore

[white zodiac]

you reminded me of a date that I went to one night where I pulled a blank strip of paper in my fortune cookie

[north schooner]

Ooof, no future

huh... emergency Grim

I knew I held on to that expired negative greedy joker for a reason

I thought I was just blocking shops

[round nexus]

3 gold stickers courtesy of early mime + blue seals (honorary mention to mr bones for the flint save)

Finally done with credit card. That one was stressing me out the most lol

[nova mantle]

Peep the negatives lads

[fervent wolf]

What leaves for invis

[round nexus]

depending on the deck, maybe dna

[torn drift]

Help

[fervent wolf]

I'm making glass red seal

[torn drift]

Checkered deck

Pls

[round nexus]

orr its ante 10, the flat mult from fibbonaci probably isnt cutting it

[torn drift]

What should i do

[lost vault]

how much is photo helping

[torn drift]

Sometimes

[round nexus]

how much mult on flash card and how much are you getting from fibbonaci?

[tepid skiff]

Roffle viewers: BARON PIVOT

[fervent wolf]

I'll probably drop fibonacci tho it sucks cuz I think fib is such a good joker

[shell dagger]

Ur runs almost dead it doesn’t rlly matter what you do

Are you copying glass cards?

[fervent wolf]

Yes

[shell dagger]

Then drop flash card

[round nexus]

How much on flash card? Fibbo triggers before in hand so its better with glass

[fervent wolf]

168 on Jj

[round nexus]

fibo still better, it helps with the glass cards

[fervent wolf]

Even tho it's rental AND perishable true 🙌

[fervent wolf]

I'll drop flash card

[north schooner]

flash card glazers in shambles

[round nexus]

wow only 15 more gold stickers

that went by much quicker than i expected

[fervent wolf]

Well bye bye fibonacci 😭

Fib has to leave here, right

[wintry ice]

dna could go

if it's not doing much

[fervent wolf]

Still making glass + it's polychrome so still ×1.5 mult

[wintry ice]

you could keep it until you get better xmult then

[fervent wolf]

But sell fib, correct

[wintry ice]

if your levels are high enough

[fervent wolf]

We got another Brainstorm from invis!

[tepid skiff]

yay

[north schooner]

A little anticlimactic but a win is a win

[proper oasis]

I got the last sticker on Seltzer, LET'S GOOOO

Now it's only the challenges

[faint wigeon]

so why did i get -nan instead of naneinf and the round didnt finish after the hand and in stats it says the hand was only e48? is this because im playing modded?

[north schooner]

If you saved them for last, you might find the challenges not

[north schooner]

Almost certainly

[proper oasis]

I'm hoping to breeze through them

[fervent wolf]

Ggs

[vestal fern]

did you have talisman

[fervent wolf]

Ace builds are fun

[faint wigeon]

nop

[vestal fern]

holy shit i'm supposed to be locked in #⚙・modding-general how did i get out

enjoy the 5 second flynn game discussion cameo

[north schooner]

I did them after c+ and I don't think I failed anymore than 3 times on any of them

[rose wolf]

big fan of stencil ankh

[fervent wolf]

Are you like a legendary in this chat bc you have 0.3 Spawn rate

[vestal fern]

True...

[vestal fern]

the humble joker stencil:

[rose wolf]

i onnce got a really good stencil ankh run on plasma deck but lost it to the crimson hesrt

[proper oasis]

Does it count as C++ if I haven't finished all challenges yet?

[north schooner]

Yeah but you have to finish a normal (non challenge) game first because bugs

aka "victory lap"

[vocal rose]

this is so beautiful

[amber vigil]

🔥

Rate the build tho?!?!?!?!

[lyric shore]

shiny

[amber vigil]

Getting nat negative burnt joker in a burglar run is crazy

First time in a long time i felt like i played smart

I kept blue sealing high card and got it upto level 40 or so, but i intentionally kept bus and supernova to the right of constellation amd played non high cards, just to stack bus

And the result is right there

Last round of ante 8 i put supernova and bus optimally, and my high cards were scoring 558k

Bus + burglar is insane

[proper oasis]

Ohhhhh

I went right into challenges

Thanks

Any stake works?

Btw it's so annoying you have to manually choose the challenge when you die

[lyric shore]

if youre on steam you can hold r

[shadow sundial]

yar har blar dar

[proper oasis]

Mobile sadly

[balmy ridge]

riff raff is honestly top 10 jokers

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[balmy ridge]

dont we all

[serene forge]

I hate Swishborkler

[robust thorn]

highscore run killed by voucher luck

[alpine talon]

Guys is this winnable? I am not too sure

[shell dagger]

Ofc

[solid tapir]

is this joke or bait

[ripe iris]

gonna be close

[balmy ridge]

vouchermaxxing

[shadow sundial]

@novel moss you suck

[minor portal]

ante 7 voucher? well, yeah, there are 7 of them, I can see that.

[balmy ridge]

i cant count that high

[amber vigil]

Is runner goated?

[white zodiac]

least stimulating run of all time

[marsh dove]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1156721486288126023/1428202781893726309/image0.jpg?ex=68fcd9bd&is=68fb883d&hm=60f55b99a8e07df2507c915dab5990fbc048aff344480663cc530ddf80e414c3&

Tell me about it

[white zodiac]

always

[marsh dove]

3 vouchers left

2 of those vital for run

1 of them necessary to survive long enough to get others

Insane

[robust thorn]

no retcon after 20+ vouchers cooked me so bad

[marsh dove]

No hand size voucher and thousands of rerolls no dna is what cooked me

Made it impossible to live

Not thousands of rerolls

[robust thorn]

i was scoring e105 no serpent 8 hand size

[marsh dove]

Thousands of dollars in rerolls

[marsh dove]

How tf

Actually wait

Nvm

[robust thorn]

perked observatory plus baron mime

[marsh dove]

Yeah

[robust thorn]

*perkeo

[marsh dove]

How many planets

[verbal wren]

W natural negative

[robust thorn]

180 planets

[marsh dove]

Nice

I’ve been meaning to do a perkeo observatory run

I just either don’t find observatory or don’t find early perkeo

If I do enough rerolls I’ll find one obv but idk

I don’t wanna

[verbal wren]

I prefer bean bug naneinf over any others

[marsh dove]

Bean bug feels too cheaty

Perkeo observatory is ridiculous but it feels like intended ridiculousness

[verbal wren]

It's just as hard to do as perkeo

[robust thorn]

well i reset ante one for charm tag for like a few hours before getting perkeo

[marsh dove]

Is it though

[white zodiac]

no lol

[marsh dove]

You just carry a bunch of hand size modifiers into crimson heart and if it hits you have much easier naneinf

[verbal wren]

I've had better luck finding perkeo then the stuff for bean

[balmy ridge]

what should runner be at before i stop playing straights?

[verbal wren]

Never stop

[marsh dove]

Depends how much do you need to survive and why do you need to stop

[ripe iris]

scale it until you cant afford to

[lunar zealot]

Never stop

[balmy ridge]

people earlier were saying to play straights early then pivot to pairs

[ripe iris]

play straights to scale and then get out with pairs

[lunar zealot]

You should be playing both

pairs are how you score and straights are how you scale

[white zodiac]

the thing with pairs is you can afford to do both

[lunar zealot]

this is practice for pants runs where the same principle applies

[balmy ridge]

i already gold stickered pants

[lunar zealot]

the thing with runner is it's inherently weaker for obelisk

[solid tapir]

@white zodiac would you be willing to try a black deck gold stake seed

[lunar zealot]

because you're split between straights and pairs

Square bull castle and wee aren't nearly as weak in that regard

runner makes up for it because it has suuuuper high chips per scale

[white zodiac]

when I have time probably

[balmy ridge]

yeah those are all good

[worldly sphinx]

Finally beat my first gold stake!

[solid tapir]

KHPBCKDK, please give this a try when you can

[shell dagger]

I find myself scaling square with hc most of the time

[solid tapir]

I died ante 6

[balmy ridge]

ok johnny

FLAME ON!!!

[lunar zealot]

Anything is fine i just prefer pairs for the optimal obelisk pivot

[solid tapir]

the person who shared this seed originally kept dying on ante 3

[white zodiac]

im so behind on my own progress

[alpine talon]

I won with 12 jokers lmao

[shell dagger]

Imo overscoring with pair isnt worth the chance you see a specific rare

[white zodiac]

I'd do that if I didn't have to worry about a speculative certain joker

[lunar zealot]

It depends really

[white zodiac]

oh

mm

how often am I overscoring with pairs though for squimbo

though

[solid tapir]

I rarely overscore with pairs with squimbo

[shell dagger]

I overscore with pairs because i properly scaled with high card 😄

[solid tapir]

so I just play pairs to scale

I do this because SN

[white zodiac]

I'll end on hc if I'm scoring more than a portion of my total hands

[balmy ridge]

superjoever

[wintry ice]

i find it funny that this mod has a joker that's literally an investment tag

[white zodiac]

my black deck stats are gonna be so scuffed I have so many jokers locked lmao

[white zodiac]

the illusion of skip tag balance

[shell dagger]

Tbf I wouldn’t do what i just said on black deck

Most of my recent gs is on the trivial blue deck

[wintry ice]

this is the expected result from an uncommon tag

[white zodiac]

hc squimbo makes more sense on blue tbf

[solid tapir]

boots

[shell dagger]

Purple joker too op

[wintry ice]

purple joker is fairly decent

[ripe iris]

wtf is purple joker

am i forgetting smth

[shell dagger]

Extra credit mod

[ripe iris]

ah

i see

[wintry ice]

yea

[lunar zealot]

When jimbo and blue joker fuck

purple joker is born

[ripe iris]

not the answer i wanted

[shell dagger]

Joker gains +1 chips and mult per leftover hand and discard

[white zodiac]

purple joker the anti pair pair joker if I remember correctly

ah

[shell dagger]

Anti blue seal/digging

[ripe iris]

interesting

[shell dagger]

+1 mulch

[ripe iris]

i really should play more mods

[shell dagger]

It can snowball really quickly

[ripe iris]

probably never gonna play cryptid though

[wintry ice]

despite being 2 effects it's

pretty well made

[ripe iris]

i dont think my computer could handle it

[white zodiac]

im a mobile player so

[wintry ice]

how good is this by itself

[shell dagger]

Same

[white zodiac]

also never on my pc since I'm always commuting

[wintry ice]

also i'm not interested in cryptid

[shell dagger]

90% of my playtime is on the bus to uni

[ripe iris]

this seems a bit op

[wintry ice]

endless is my least favorite part of the game and cryptid is entirely endless

[shell dagger]

I wonder if the other commuters think im cracked or do they sigh when i fumble the bus start

[zinc willow]

I need help guys do i sell lighthouse?

[wintry ice]

stop resetting bus idiot

[ripe iris]

as if youre going to keep your device alive before you reach ante 8

[ripe iris]

if you mean castle, i think you should since youre already getting plenty of chips from foil

[wintry ice]

stardards are low with madness so i'm taking it

[ripe iris]

unless its really high and youre playing low chip hands

[wintry ice]

oh selling stuff scales it too

[trail solar]

Should i go for more constellation

[ripe iris]

but since its checkered deck i expect flushes?

[ripe iris]

cant

not eternal

[shell dagger]

Give it a go, for science

[trail solar]

Wait no forgot it doesnt work that way 🙁

[zinc willow]

Guys? I really am wondering what to do

[white zodiac]

I've only seen two balatro encounters and they're both from my org chem 2 and vietnamese courses

[shell dagger]

New run

[ripe iris]

i answered you already

[solid tapir]

this is correct

[zinc willow]

I missed your reply

[ripe iris]

if by the "lighthouse" you mean castle, yes you should sell it for something else since chips are already in high supply

[zinc willow]

Ya. My bad

[wintry ice]

additive scaling gets replaced by planets in endless

[lunar zealot]

Did someone say baseball card

[white zodiac]

no

nobody said that

[lunar zealot]

Aw

[balmy ridge]

struggling with anaglyph gold stake. i never find any skip tags that seem worth it and get to ante 7 before realising i have tons of double tags

[white zodiac]

most runs you just don't use them at all

[balmy ridge]

i do NOT like this deck very much

[balmy ridge]

really

[solid tapir]

ye

[balmy ridge]

i do think it would be pretty funny to do the +3 hand size next round one

3x7 21 hand size +8 = 29 hand size

idk if it even works though

[stiff ore]

say, since theres a blackboard joker for spades and clubs, is there a whiteboard joker for hearts and diamonds?

[balmy ridge]

no

[stiff ore]

damn

[white zodiac]

skipping introduces a downside for playing the deck so you're better off not doing anything

[ripe iris]

just skip for spectral pack after ante 7 and get 8 spectral packs, pull 8 souls that all give natural negative legendaries

simple 🙂

[balmy ridge]

ohhh that makes sense

[white zodiac]

hence black suit supremacy

[stiff ore]

fairly new to the game but yeah youre not wrong

i usually go for spades and clubs normally lol

i just got the heart joker this run

[balmy ridge]

yes actually i want 7 uncommon jokers

[lunar zealot]

Baseball card

[balmy ridge]

he's rare

[lunar zealot]

Mmmm yeah baby

[balmy ridge]

erm what

[stiff ore]

all face cards are drawn face down

oh wait no i see

[zinc willow]

IM COOKIN 🔥

[stiff ore]

because of my joker

oh shit i think i may be fucked lol

[balmy ridge]

sell pareidolia

i think it flips them back

either way you'll be fine it doesnt really matter

[stiff ore]

aalready spent too many hands to make up for iti now

[balmy ridge]

💔

[stiff ore]

spades for this new run

maybe not got the heart joker again lol

[balmy ridge]

checkered deck white stake really isn't hard

you got it fs

[stiff ore]

yeah i just need a few Xmulti jokers

[white zodiac]

even if both red suit bosses were discovered in the run I'll still go for black suits

[balmy ridge]

multiple? not really

[stiff ore]

i usually like having at least 2

usually photograph and another at the end of scoring

[balmy ridge]

i mean yeah

everyone would like multiple xmults

but that isn't always possible lol

i guess white stake is more econ less scaling

[stiff ore]

no but i always try for it

true

[fervent wolf]

I love the way foil gros looks

Imo it's top 10 Joker design

[balmy ridge]

holy shit i just need vampire

[balmy ridge]

show?

[fervent wolf]

Maybe not top 10 but definitely top 20

[narrow scroll]

there is NO plants killing my run!
had to sell photo for base mult but a win is a win

[fringe crest]

its alright

[stiff ore]

i dont wanna jinx myself but i think this is gonna be a good run

[serene forge]

I hate Baorn

[stiff ore]

also got the heart joker now

[white zodiac]

round 5 ante 3

[marsh vine]

that's 3 more gold stickers (mr. bones broke — I sold runner with Gold Sticker to get it, and replaced gold sticker hologram with Judgement in hopes to get unique jokers, alas only one of them worked)

I know I found 2 invisible (my metal gear is solid) jokers in early antes

[vague belfry]

photochadchadchad

[rich flax]

roffle type build

[vague belfry]

indeed

also saw this a while back

obviously picked it up and instantly lost the run

also another looks inside moment

all good things begin and end with photochad

[solid tapir]

stencil

[vocal warren]

why would I ever want.

Look

I love egg

and if i get swashbuckler this run, this'll be golden

but I physically start hurting when i can't sell my egg.

[white zodiac]

temperance

[vocal warren]

it hurts me

I still took him btw

I might as wel

[proven gulch]

one vanilla holographic is already pretty good early game

[vocal warren]

true..

I just hate not being able to sell egg

[proven gulch]

and temp finds xmult

[white zodiac]

that’s going to happen a lot in the future for the better part of time

[vocal warren]

Im deck building on clubs

the game has spoken

lemme tell u what it said

it got real close and whispered

-# "Play clubs..."

am i weird for deck building like this

I'm gonna get empress and make those middle cards mult

CREDIT CARD!!!

just got a naturally polychrome banner from riff raff

and swashbuckler has arrived

[stark karma]

After like 4 antes ur temperance’s will be 50 bucks

[vocal warren]

I totally have the ability to make a flush house here

because i have a fool and i just used a death

so i could totally make a flush house

but i wont

[vocal rose]

this is literally the best choice

holo egg is crazy

you don’t keep egg to sell it

you use it for temp value

[vocal warren]

are we so deadass.

well guess what

now it doesnt matter

[vocal rose]

do you not know how egg works

lmfao

[vocal warren]

because the water showed up.

[vocal warren]

Yes i know how egg works

I use it regularly

The water just showed up

and guess what

[vocal warren]

I dont have a flush

[vague belfry]

typical anaglyph deck

[vocal warren]

I'm cooked

deep fried even

[vocal rose]
