[lament crater]

don't think its worth it anymore

[serene forge]

ankh brainstorm then lose the run

[lament crater]

no

why is a fellow yuri and silksong appreciator telling me to throw :(

[lunar zealot]

Immolate immediately

[lament crater]

and for 2nd card?

[lunar zealot]

You definitely need a better +chips joker

[narrow wadi]

idk what yuri is but i love hk and silksong

[lunar zealot]

skip lmao

[serene forge]

it's funny

[lament crater]

i got hermit! econ fixed

[tulip path]

[fading cobalt]

Do I take wraith?

[narrow wadi]

wrong reply

mb

[fading cobalt]

Yes

[cosmic seal]

Nani

Naninf

[narrow wadi]

idk how i remembered that ngl

i played that like 8 years ago

[fading cobalt]

Well Yuri could mean Yuri lowenthal or lesbian aswell

[tranquil cedar]

PLAYING BALATRO FOR 32 HOURS?? 😭😭😭

[fading cobalt]

But I'm gonna take a wild guess that its yuri from ddlc

[narrow wadi]

i don't turn off my computer lol

[tranquil cedar]

okay makes sense

[fading cobalt]

Rip your power bill

[fading cobalt]

No tf it dont

Turn off your computer bro you got bills dont you

[narrow wadi]

my apartment is bills included i think

i'm not 100% sure

i just moved to japan

[fading cobalt]

Doesnt it mess with its life expectancy aswell?

[tranquil cedar]

i mean now it makes sense that it says 32 hours

[narrow wadi]

no clue

[fading cobalt]

What does that mean

[fading cobalt]

Fair enough

[tranquil cedar]

i ain't saying nothing bout his bills

[fading cobalt]

Lmao

[narrow wadi]

like the landlord pays the bills

[fading cobalt]

Oh damn

Thats peak

[tranquil cedar]

yeah fucks up screens

[fading cobalt]

Your landlord probably hates you tho

[fading cobalt]

No I mean the pcs life span

Having the fans running so much

[narrow wadi]

i'm not 100% sure given i just moved to japan but i paid my year of rent up front so idt they can be

[tranquil cedar]

That too

[fading cobalt]

Guys?

[narrow wadi]

i have my laptop always on, i turn my pc off sometimes

like once every couple weeks

[fading cobalt]

Thats not better tbh

Like you dont fully shutdown your laptop you mean?

Cuz thats fine, it goes into sleep mode which isnt the end of the world

[narrow wadi]

nah when i turn it on loads of things auto open which is annoying

[fading cobalt]

You can disable that you know

[wicked crypt]

should i copy the trib or sock

[fading cobalt]

You get the same outcome

[narrow wadi]

ye i know this but not turning it off is easier than working out how to stop that

[wicked crypt]

thought so

[tranquil cedar]

sock if card enhanced

[narrow wadi]

i'll just buy a new laptop whenever this breaks

[fading cobalt]

True

[wicked crypt]

thanks

[fading cobalt]

Just google how to disable open on start up

Its an extremely simple process

[tranquil cedar]

I'd say copy sock anyways to get the card chips

[wicked crypt]

will do

[fading cobalt]

Bro

[tranquil cedar]

aight good luck

[fading cobalt]

Wraith yes or no

[narrow wadi]

sure, if it isn't easy i'll be mildly annoyed though, and probably forget about it but if i don't i'll @ you in a slightly unpleasant message

[fading cobalt]

[narrow wadi]

and that's a threat

[barren wigeon]

no

[unreal iron]

i wouldnt personally

[fading cobalt]

Ok buddy

[barren wigeon]

it looks like youre doing fine

[tranquil cedar]

44 bucks is 44 bucks

[barren wigeon]

a rare joker that has a chance to be mid for 44 bucks?

nah

you'll probably get the tribe

[fading cobalt]

Wtf I put my switch down and I looked back and it picked up wraith

[tranquil cedar]

that's right i forget that it always gives me shit

[fading cobalt]

I didnt press shit

[tranquil cedar]

💔

[barren wigeon]

what'd you get at least

[tranquil cedar]

possessed console

[fading cobalt]

I got vagabond

[barren wigeon]

well

[tranquil cedar]

funny

[barren wigeon]

at least its not bad

[tranquil cedar]

wraith vagabond is always funny

[barren wigeon]

perfect synergy

[narrow wadi]

i love vagabond

with like rebate vagabond is goated imo

[tranquil cedar]

and vagabond loves you

[narrow wadi]

💟

rebate vagabond is one of my favourite joker pairs

use the hands for tarot then discard to not be poor

[lunar zealot]

CURSE OF BARON

CURSE OF THE TRIBE

CURSE OF DNA

[narrow wadi]

is tribe the flush one?

i hate that one

[tranquil cedar]

CURSE OF HIT THE ROAD

[narrow wadi]

duo on gold stake might be my favourite joker to see tho

[proven gulch]

well-scaled castle before ante 15

[narrow wadi]

@fading cobalt it was very easy to stop them opening, you have my gratitude

[proven gulch]

oh

[fading cobalt]

Woohoo

You're welcome

[proven gulch]

i sold golden and const

[light dome]

I picked up burnt joker when I had burglar and needed the extra hands 🤦‍♂️

[fading cobalt]

Not smeared joker?

Or whatever that ones called

[fading cobalt]

I lost

[proven gulch]

not enough sell value

[fading cobalt]

Bro rtb scaling gets me killed

[proven gulch]

• castle synergy

[fading cobalt]

Fair enough

[tulip path]

purr

[fading cobalt]

Const might've been low scaling aswell

[blissful bronze]

no way i win this

[narrow wadi]

surely this beats ante 21

[blissful bronze]

i think if i can get it to hit parking i win

[narrow wadi]

*e21

oh i missed the joke

mb

[slate lance]

Does anybody have any tips for higher stakes on black deck

Like idk if im rlly THAT bad at the game, ive golf staked 3 other devks but im genuinely crashing out w this one

[narrow wadi]

have you tried taking the good jokers and skipping the bad jokers?

[smoky socket]

how to reach naneinf 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔

[blissful bronze]

take what you can get if it scores it scores
you can worry about synergy later

[blissful bronze]

baron :D

[slate lance]

Dawg 💔

[slate lance]

IK THAT 😭 BUT LIKE

I survive the first couple antes

[acoustic kettle]

Perkeo ecto ankh

[slate lance]

And cant find a good enough synergy to save me later

Maybe im just shit rn cause my mentality isnt the best

[acoustic kettle]

Nah black deck sucks

Fuck black deck

[blissful bronze]

the answer is sometimes just econ

and what hand ur going for rypically

[slate lance]

What if u cant get a good econ while simultaneously surviving tho

[blissful bronze]

dead

[slate lance]

I typically try to go for pairs if i can

Or full house sometime

[cloud sinew]

black deck is a fuck. it's definitely a skill issue but it's completely normal. I've streaked 15x with deck rotation at GS but the highest I've ever gotten on black was 4

[white zodiac]

fh is a quick death sentence

[slate lance]

Fair 😭

Ik im not the best at balatro ive still got a lot to learn

Maybe i should try stake a couple other decks before trying black

Gold stake*

[acoustic kettle]

The money on black deck is so depressing

[slate lance]

Rn ive done nebula, painted and yellow

[white zodiac]

2 2oak is a decent alternative in access for on card scoring if you're given a lack of a better scoring alternative and less hand scaling

[acoustic kettle]

1oak

[wicked crypt]

THE PIVOT IS INSANEE

[latent egret]

full house might be the worst hand to play in terms of scaling/diffuculty to play

[narrow wadi]

no 8ball= bad build

[cloud sinew]

2oak...?

[acoustic kettle]

Nah that brainstorm

Ain't blue

[cold finch]

you... mean 🍐 ?

[wicked crypt]

i shouldve gotten rid of trib for that

[cloud sinew]

nty

[wicked crypt]

actually tho

[white zodiac]

no, 2 2oak

[slate lance]

I mean like i only do it if i dont have a better way to go about things
Obv if i get supernova or green or smt like that i go for easy hands but
If ive got a walkie talkie and not much else, to try go through the first couple antes i go for full houses if not like four/three of a kinds

[acoustic kettle]

Pair of pairs

[latent egret]

yeah 3oak is way better

you can play 2 of them reliably

[slate lance]

oh oak is of a kind 😭

[latent egret]

yeah

[cloud sinew]

with stuff like fib/walkie,etc probably not

[slate lance]

Yeah but ngl the game might screw u over like thF anywya
One time i remember i had matador or wtv its called, rhe boss disabled diamonds and THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE DIAMOND DRAWN

And i had such a build that id one shot no matter what at that stage

[white zodiac]

3oak is not a reliable scoring plan for jokers with multiple rank scoring and card draw probability variance compared to 2 2oak

less boss blind safety

[latent egret]

oh yeah i just compared 3oak to fh

[cloud sinew]

can you stop saying 2oak 😭

[white zodiac]

2 2oak*

[slate lance]

The thing is 2 2 oak is still not fully reliable as i had a two paur build but like on one of the final antes i couldnt draw a two pair and lost

[acoustic kettle]

1oak

[slate lance]

0 oak

[acoustic kettle]

Either 2 2oak or pair of pairs

[cloud sinew]

istg

[slate lance]

2² oak

[white zodiac]

it's not something you default to, it's just a somewhat better second alternative on black compared to easier decks where you have the option of more options

[white zodiac]

[simple bronze]

is this ggs?

[lunar zealot]

ride the bus is gg on any deck

Assuming you're actually smart

[slate lance]

Ig fair
I just dont know i cant seem to get any good synergies goijg at all
Iys like the game only wants to give me the "+12 if played hand is a straight" ahh jokers

[cloud sinew]

Not even smart, just not stupid

[white zodiac]

remember who you're talking to

[lunar zealot]

I like to assume good faith

[simple bronze]

AHAHA

[sour wing]

Can someone help me with a Jack related deck

[simple bronze]

ggs

[white zodiac]

if I didn't know the person yeah

[white zodiac]

how about now

[simple bronze]

free + mult and x mult

wtf

[acoustic kettle]

Hm yes nice plan you got there

[simple bronze]

my ride the bus got etan

[proven gulch]

lmao nutty setup

400 castle

50 in hc

[white zodiac]

I say 2 2oak for better word filtering btw

[cloud sinew]

I don't understand what you mean

[sour wing]

Can someone help me push this run further, I’d like to achieve e100 but not sure what I need to hunt for

[cloud sinew]

of course it would be

[simple bronze]

but it was on the left of madness

i don't understand

[cloud sinew]

that doesn't matter

[white zodiac]

when I search for certain information I remember saying in the past using the search feature

[acoustic kettle]

Nice rage bait you got there

[proven gulch]

rebate

[cloud sinew]

madness always destroys something if there is something to destroy

[floral mural]

was it eternal? madness kills jokers at random

[proven gulch]

or gicket

[white zodiac]

dne
do
not
engage

[sour wing]

I had that but got rid of it for dna

What do I need more money for?

[acoustic kettle]

Why dna

[sour wing]

To copy glass

So get rid of dna?

What if my glass breaks

[proven gulch]

Brainstorm showman

[sour wing]

But why am I doing this what am I hunting for?

[proven gulch]

what do your vouchers look like

[sour wing]

Like blueprint of brainstorm is great to copy idol but that won’t push much further will it?

[sour wing]

Not good

At the time the tarot merchant felt necessary

[proven gulch]

if you have a couple thousand you can roll for cola

[sour wing]

True

I’ve also got a red seal king sitting on the far left

Is he worth using

[proven gulch]

wait what's the challenge

[sour wing]

E100

[proven gulch]

you're on challenge deck no

what's the challenge

[sour wing]

Yea oh sorry

Rich get richer

[acoustic kettle]

[sour wing]

What’s the face for @acoustic kettle

[acoustic kettle]

Nothing

[random ice]

Photochad back again

[unborn cliff]

its peam

[spiral cairn]

easiest way to get an error score?

[acoustic kettle]

Play balala

[indigo elbow]

WUAWJ2DC
Balatro run with double dice

[sour wing]

Got the rebate @proven gulch

[sage abyss]

Trying to unlock the decks that require me to play on different stakes. What’s the best deck to use?

[proven gulch]

good

[acoustic kettle]

What you're good or comfortable on

[proven gulch]

yellow

actually plasma is good on early stakes

[lament crater]

question for the community

[sage abyss]

Either yellow or blue since blue gives me 4 discard instead of 3

[proven gulch]

no

[acoustic kettle]

That's red

[sage abyss]

Haven’t beaten it on white stake yet

[proven gulch]

but it's a singleplayer game so do what you want

[sage abyss]

Yk what I meant

[simple bronze]

skill issue

[acoustic kettle]

Plasma requires beatung blue stake

[proven gulch]

damn

[lament crater]

aight ig

[sage abyss]

So what’s the best deck to use?

[proven gulch]

i started with gold stake red deck so i thought it was just unlocked by default 😭

[proven gulch]

yellow then

[rough trout]

is even steven good with spare trousers or nah

[sage abyss]

You must’ve hit the everything unlocked button when creating a file

[proven gulch]

i didn't

[simple bronze]

tyhis is ggs right?

[lunar zealot]

No?

[proven gulch]

master baiter

[simple bronze]

i got barron?

[acoustic kettle]

He's ragebaiting

[lunar zealot]

man how old even is this guy

I feel like he's broken rule 10 so many times at this point

[proven gulch]

go ragebait in the brawl stars discord

[lunar zealot]

just such a nuisance all the time

[proven gulch]

easier

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[lunar zealot]

anyway back to me

I feel like r/okbuddyjimbo is just as bad as r/balatro

[white zodiac]

nobody has publicly reported him to the authorities yet

[lunar zealot]

And i know it's shit from a butt vs coughing baby but still

[acoustic kettle]

This server has rules?

[lament crater]

yea?

did you not read them when you first got in?

[acoustic kettle]

Damn

That's crazy

[cloud sinew]

You should use blue imo, if not blue then use yellow

[lunar zealot]

and if not yellow then ghost

wait do you mean for c++

[proven gulch]

oh

checkered

use checkered

[lunar zealot]

If for general purposes blue or yellow yeah

[acoustic kettle]

For unlocking decks

[lunar zealot]

really though play any deck you want except black

[cloud sinew]

nah, ghost isn't even top 5

[proven gulch]

what's the unlock for checkered i don't think i have it yet

[eternal flame]

fuck me I guess

[lunar zealot]

Green deck ?

i forgot

[acoustic kettle]

Erratic

[cloud sinew]

black deck win

[eternal flame]

I didn't get my steel cards

[simple bronze]

green deck is so good its my most consistent win rate

[proven gulch]

oh alright, gotta finish green first then

[sour wing]

Blinds are e14 and my best hand is e20 what now @proven gulch

[lunar zealot]

Ez fuckin balatrodle

[proven gulch]

holy negative blueprint

[cloud sinew]

black is just discoveries

[proven gulch]

or is that a foil astronomer

[sour wing]

Neg blueprint

[proven gulch]

yeah i have it

[sour wing]

Ectoplasm’d it at the start

[proven gulch]

spoiler :(

[lunar zealot]

I DID SPOIL IT

[cloud sinew]

it is spoilered

[proven gulch]

oh

[cloud sinew]

and says "balatrodle" in the message

[proven gulch]

whoopsies

i like clicking

[acoustic kettle]

[proven gulch]

:)

[sour wing]

What do I get rid off

Chad?

[cloud sinew]

chad

[sour wing]

Thought so

[cloud sinew]

and uhhh

[acoustic kettle]

Why does this server not have colors

[cloud sinew]

drop rebate for golden ticket

[proven gulch]

Rebate for gicket and chad for bs i think

[acoustic kettle]

I feel so weird being white

[lunar zealot]

huh?

[sour wing]

Why golden ticket??

[cloud sinew]

it does

[proven gulch]

synergy with your build

[cloud sinew]

You're running a retrigger build, so golden ticket gives more money here

[sour wing]

How does it make more money then rebate tho

Rebate makes 100 if I discard 5

[acoustic kettle]

Card retrigger means gticket also retriggers

Hmm

Idk if it's more money

[proven gulch]

with 3 triggers*3 activations*4/activation*5/hand, you get $180 per hand

[sour wing]

So blueprints on the sock?

[cloud sinew]

blueprints balanced on both golden ticket and sock for money

[sour wing]

And brainstorm?

[proven gulch]

brainstorm on sock, both blueprints on gicket

last hand do the same but idol instead of ticket

[sour wing]

Bet

[quartz ember]

its copy like blueprint so same rules apply always when talking about either in this context

[sour wing]

Correct order?

[cloud sinew]

for money, yes

[sour wing]

Then switch idol and ticket ?

What am I hunting for in the shop now?

[lunar zealot]

Obelisk with no +chips joker lmfaooo

[weak coyote]

throwback the only good joker i see there

[floral mural]

throwback doing nothing at all

as god intended

[weak coyote]

throwback is too underrated

[floral mural]

throwback is ass

[weak coyote]

my glorious skips

[floral mural]

skipping is bad and throwback doesnt make it better

[simple bronze]

obelisk is good too

wym

[weak coyote]

for gold stakes it matters to me

i skip small blinds from time to time

[weak coyote]

i mean yea but to proc it you need to play like a different hand from your first hand

[floral mural]

so a glorified polychrome? thats bad you know

[floral mural]

play 14 pairs

[simple bronze]

uh you skip every sb that 4x

[weak coyote]

hey man i have my opinions as a 3 day playtime player

i dont know much

[simple bronze]

sb give no money so its good toskip

[eternal flame]

I feel pain

[weak coyote]

i just like throwback for its capabilities because it has saved me countless runs before

[floral mural]

the comedy thag skipping small blind is still usually bad

[weak coyote]

sigh

[lunar zealot]

Lmfao all the white stakers coming in chat to meatride throwback is crazy

[floral mural]

unless the tag is good dont skip small blind

[simple bronze]

i play on gold and i skip sb

[weak coyote]

i dont meatride throwback

[floral mural]

and good means investment on ante 1

[acoustic kettle]

Throwing it back for throwback

[simple bronze]

so might as well get x mult for doing that

[floral mural]

thats about it

[weak coyote]

i just like its capabilities from time to time

may not be the best but like its def good sometimes

[floral mural]

and other niche scenerios but skipping shouldnt be encouraged so yeah

[lunar zealot]

capabilities when throwback scales 1/4th as fast as obelisk

[acoustic kettle]

Throwback helped my 8 ante 8 round run

[lunar zealot]

1/5th really give or take

[weak coyote]

sorry i dont have every deck on gold stakes and do naninf run to know💔

[lunar zealot]

Throwback's only benefit is being uncommon and thus giving bbc value

[weak coyote]

niche scenario!

[acoustic kettle]

Throwback is not good

[lunar zealot]

Yeah because throwback is a niche joker

and the niche it has is not good

[acoustic kettle]

Skipping is not good

[spiral cairn]

throwback is peak

[acoustic kettle]

And the scaling doesn't justify it either

[spiral cairn]

i win every run i get it

[weak coyote]

i like the design too

[lunar zealot]

It's like idol levels of bad but at least idol gets you e notation score

[spiral cairn]

won my first gold stake with it

[weak coyote]

but likr youd have to do so much deck fixing for idol

[lunar zealot]

Exactly

[weak coyote]

its only for e notation late game runs

[spiral cairn]

in idol does the card change every round or no?

[weak coyote]

it does

[lunar zealot]

again i must reiterate throwback scales 1/5th as fast as obelisk per ante

x0.5 vs x2.4 is fucking abysmal

[spiral cairn]

then why is it good

[acoustic kettle]

Why do you skip

[lunar zealot]

like what the hell is that

What the hell is that

[acoustic kettle]

Why do you want to play less balatro in balatro

[weak coyote]

again i must reiterate i only have 2 days of playtime

i dont know TOO much

[lunar zealot]

dunning kruger effect lmfao

[spiral cairn]

does idol only use cards which ar ein your deck

[floral mural]

lets not mention obelisk. im pretty sure i could scale vampire about as well as throwback with shops available to me as well regardless

[spiral cairn]

is that why its so op

[acoustic kettle]

Yes

[floral mural]

0.5 on vampire each ante aint a big demand

[spiral cairn]

ohh

[blissful fog]

Yes

[spiral cairn]

thats why its so good

[weak coyote]

You'd have to deck fix tho

[blissful fog]

It's a late game joker

[acoustic kettle]

Idol is not good for ante 8 runs

[weak coyote]

only viable in late game runs

[spiral cairn]

yeah

[lunar zealot]

I mean should you play pairs and have a stable econ vampire can actually scale as fast as obelisk

[floral mural]

idol is terrible unless youre playing endless

[weak coyote]

early its practically useless

[spiral cairn]

perkeo + hanged man or death is good enough tho

[lunar zealot]

let alone 5 card hands with midas mask

[spiral cairn]

midas mask + vampire prints mult

[weak coyote]

i only got perkeo yesterday and i instantly died asap💔

[acoustic kettle]

Obelisk does the same thing for one joker

[blissful fog]

Pain

[lunar zealot]

But like yeah

[weak coyote]

i always skip obelisk

[lunar zealot]

X0.5 mult per ante is fucking abysmal

[acoustic kettle]

[weak coyote]

its always hard for me to somehow build it

[lunar zealot]

1. Get a scaling +mult joker like ride the bus

2. get a scaling +chips joker like bull

[sour wing]

Can someone tell me what I need to hunt for in the shop now please

[lunar zealot]

3. Play pairs

12 is the minimum
14 is the recommended
16 is for safety

4. Pivot out of pairs

[blissful fog]

Another copy joker + anti matter

[lunar zealot]

5. win

[weak coyote]

so in theory

[lunar zealot]

Completely pivot to baron/mime trust

[late helm]

8UETUGVB, super early double foil brainstorm... I dont wanna talk about how I lost..

[weak coyote]

i just need to fucking play 14 pairs and scale obelisk to the moon

[sour wing]

Just got rid of my red seal king, too late

[lunar zealot]

not really theory given it will happen

On gold stake, pairs are the dominant strategy

[sour wing]

What’s anti matter?

[acoustic kettle]

The theory is easily achievable

[weak coyote]

ive never been saved by a pair in gold stake

[lunar zealot]

easy to draw, synergize with lots of jokers, aren't vulnerable to many boss blinds

[acoustic kettle]

+1 joker slot

[weak coyote]

i never thought of playing pairs in gold stake

[lunar zealot]

and with pair runs you play lots of pairs

[blissful fog]

A voucher after you buy blank voucher that gives +1 joker slot

[weak coyote]

well

[lunar zealot]

so you end up easily able to pivot to obelisk

[blissful fog]

That's how I won my first gold stake lmao

[weak coyote]

i won my first gold stake with high card build

[lunar zealot]

Why do we lose Balatro runs?
Because you don't score enough to beat the blind
this can happen for 3 and only 3 reasons:

1. Your jokers suck ass
2. The boss blind fucks you
3. You don't draw your dogshit hand

[acoustic kettle]

Pairs are boring smh

Play flushes

[lunar zealot]

with pair runs it eliminates reason 3 from the equation

[acoustic kettle]

[sour wing]

What do I get rid of for showman

[weak coyote]

Yes

flushes are amazing

[lunar zealot]

and significantly reduces reason 2 from occurring

reason 1 can be fixed if you're smart

[dry ether]

Welp, this was the best run I've ever had. 2 polychrome yoricks.
Seed is 96k1lkkx if ya want it

[lunar zealot]

and pairs have so much synergies that it's easy

[blissful fog]

So amazing I have over 6k flushes played

[weak coyote]

yurick

[weak coyote]

early game its the best

[dry ether]

I tried to get brainstorm and blueprint but theyu wouldn't appear

[weak coyote]

i end up playing flushes every round

[acoustic kettle]

Arrowhead be going crazy

[weak coyote]

what does that satellite card do

i lwk haven't gotten that yet

[lunar zealot]

generally, blue stake's (current, as of patch 1.0.1f) effect of -1 discard heavily discourages playing 5-card hands due to inconsistency in being able to draw them; flush in particular gets significantly more flak due to it not providing nearly as much scaling via planets or consistent joker scaling like straights and saturn/runner, to compensate for its being a 5 card hand
in this sense the evolution of the meta has largely favored pairs due to their generally being easy to draw, easy to make use of in-hand effects such as golds and especially blue seals, and more accessible synergies with jokers such as hologram (more effectively able to scale hologram via bloating the deck if the hand played is largely unaffected by deck size hampering easiness to draw), blackboard (one can play a pair and unscored hearts/diamonds in order to always proc it) and scaling +mult jokers such as green joker (discarding for pairs is redundant)
tl;dr pair good

[blissful fog]

Unlucky rerolls ig

[acoustic kettle]

Wall text

[weak coyote]

i guess this person really likes pairs

[acoustic kettle]

Violet vessel text when

[lunar zealot]

Everyone likes pairs lmao

[dry ether]

+1$ for every UNIQUE planet card discovered every round.
You unlcok it by having 400$ or more in a game
So if you have discovered all the planets I think it's +13$ per round. (Including the hidden planets)

[acoustic kettle]

I like how consistent it is

[lunar zealot]

they're statistically the most consistent gold stake build

[acoustic kettle]

I hate how boring it is

[lunar zealot]

the only hand type you can actually force every run

[floral mural]

its the lose screen on your run that scrapes by

[lunar zealot]

Oh i've fucking written violet vessel text

Ask me about triboulet

[acoustic kettle]

I'm scared

[weak coyote]

lowkey

[lunar zealot]

Ask me about triboulet

[weak coyote]

what about triboulet

i pressed the big red button

[acoustic kettle]

Noooo

[dry ether]

Is there such thing as a flush four with that joker that reduces flushes and straights to 4?

[weak coyote]

whoops

[lunar zealot]

it's probably the worst legendary on gold stake

[weak coyote]

i mean yea

[lunar zealot]

well not probably

[weak coyote]

it requires too much deck fixing and getting it early doesn't do much

[lunar zealot]

It is objectively

[acoustic kettle]

No it registers as normal flushes

And straights

[lunar zealot]

Play 4 cards of the same suit and rank that's a flush

[floral mural]

hey kami why does trib suck (youre clearly ready to post it)

[lunar zealot]

add a card of the same rank and that's a flush five

[lunar zealot]

:)

[acoustic kettle]

Triboulet is glorified photograph

[lunar zealot]

triboulet is undoubtedly a strong joker for endless mode---on-scored xmult in general scales much higher short term than the traditionally played +mult + xmult strategy, however both outside of endless and in endless mode itself triboulet does have flaws that will inevitably show themselves; outside of endless, many players would in their right mind choose yorick or canio over triboulet on gold stake runs and this is mainly due to how the way gold stake runs generally play out, being a natural evolution of the meta---triboulet (and in the same vein, baron/mime) have a ridiculously high ceiling in terms of score, but this ceiling does not matter much in context of gold stake where the required score is at maximum, 1.2m chips (2.4m on plasma specifically)
in that sense triboulet can be an afterthought in terms of scoring; it's its weaknesses that make it significantly more vulnerable and inconsistent than yorick and canio
I say vulnerable and inconsistent and not 'weak' because triboulet is not a weak joker, it is a strong joker but it is hampered by significant flaws that are not present with its peers, yorick and canio, because it is still an on-scored joker and is thus inherently vulnerable to boss blinds (pillar, the suit blinds, plant, and of course not being able to draw your hand on water/needle/mouth etc) as well as requiring deckfixing in order to play the hands required to necessitate it and economy in order to buy the planets for base mult as well as to buy tarots and potentially jokers for said deckfixing
the fact of the matter is triboulet is not going to be as consistent as yorick or canio in terms of its being able to provide scoring for winning a run on gold stake especially due to gold stake's faster scaling and lack of small blind reward money and more notably blue stake's -1 discard

but then we move onto endless mode itself where triboulet should theoretically shine and its ceiling is ridiculously high; many people do generally prefer perkeo and baron/mime however just because it is much easier to pilot and is easier to scale during the endless run itself
because how do you scale baron/mime? more barons, more mimes, more hand size dtc etc
The first two aren't too easy to get but the third is a consistent way to get naneinf whether through the serpent or via using cryptid
By contrast triboulet is much harder to scale mainly due to baron/mime being in-hand and triboulet being on-scored
you can have an effectively infinite amount of kings held in hand; even with just 1 baron and 1 mime you can theoretically get naneinf with just hand size alone; by contrast you can only ever play 5 cards---you can increase the scaling of the cards themselves via making them glass polychrome red seals but you cannot simply play more cards and in that sense the only way to make them stronger past that would be to get more triboulets (or idols) and more sock n buskins which is exceptionally difficult when you are limited by your joker slots
triboulet is a good joker; but it should be thought of as good in its specific niche---being the single best on-scored xmult joker in the game
it still falls victim to classic on-score weaknesses such as vulnerability and inconsistency which is what makes it less preferred to yorick or canio and it still has a ceiling with fundamentally harder ways to scale it than the dominant endless strategies of perkeo/cryptid, perkeo/observatory, or burglar/serpent

[sour wing]

I think I rerolled too much

[lunar zealot]

Where your money go bruh

[weak coyote]

tl;dr trib good for endless trib ass for gold stakes

[blissful fog]

So much text geez

[lunar zealot]

not even good for endless

perkeo is better for endless

[acoustic kettle]

Violet vessel with plasma scaling text when

[lunar zealot]

baron is better for endless

[blissful fog]

Baron better than trib

[weak coyote]

chicot🙂

[lunar zealot]

Chicot is fine

it's always gonna be good

[weak coyote]

finally

[acoustic kettle]

Chigoat

[lunar zealot]

chicot just lets you spam flushes without fear of dying to boss blinds

[weak coyote]

i never liked canio

[blissful fog]

Chicot is good for me when I abuse it lmao

[weak coyote]

he feels useless

[lunar zealot]

so idk why white stakers hate it

[sour wing]

Showman only copied one of my jokers in the shop, guess which one

[lunar zealot]

Chaos

[weak coyote]

when i first got him i thought he was overpowered

[lunar zealot]

he is still very strong

just the simple fact he removes violet vessel instantly makes him good at minimum

[weak coyote]

it gets rid of the fear factor of boss blinds

[acoustic kettle]

They want legendaries to insta win

[lunar zealot]

let alone needle/tooth/ox/arm

let alone crimson heart

let alone eye/pillar

[weak coyote]

whos that guy that disables face card

[lunar zealot]

Plant is fine

you can play around it

[weak coyote]

no he was like

[lunar zealot]

But yeah chicot disabling plant is good too

[weak coyote]

i had a good build based on face cards and i lost

to that guy

my like high card was idk 23 or somn with burnt joker and blueprint and i died

[dry ether]

Am I the only one who dislikes the merchant vouchers? I prefer to try and spam rerolls until I get a negative joker

I think the merchant vouchers reduces the jokers you get and thus make it harder

[lunar zealot]

Tarot merchant is situational

planet merchant is just bad

[acoustic kettle]

I still haven't taken planet / tarot tycoon

[proven gulch]

50% idol- is this too early

[lunar zealot]

Seeing more tarots is almost always welcome when you already have an established build and just need a little more

whether that be deckfixing or money or gold cards

gold cards give money

Ummm

Glass cards

[floral mural]

planet merchant is like magic trick

[acoustic kettle]

Wild cards

[lunar zealot]

Seeing more planets is

ummm

why

[floral mural]

one joker is good with it

[lunar zealot]

Lol

The only reason you have planet merchant is for constell or because zodiac starts with it

[dry ether]

My favourite voucher is the paintbrush and palette ones, can't go wrong with bigger hands

[lunar zealot]

well paintbrush is always welcome

[acoustic kettle]

Grubber

[lunar zealot]

Palette is oddly enough slightly situational if you're struggling for xmult

[acoustic kettle]

Though i took wasteful most

[lunar zealot]

because too much hand size is antisynergistic with blackboard

[weak coyote]

do i buy the temperance

[acoustic kettle]

I love me my banner synergy with wasteful

[weak coyote]

it gives me 4 dollars and it costs 3

[dry ether]

actually that's true

[weak coyote]

do i buy it

[frank light]

blank voucher and i need to have a talk

hes been avoiding me for way too many runs

[acoustic kettle]

Literally free money

[weak coyote]

that's pretty cool

[acoustic kettle]

It doubles the first one

And so on

thats suppose to be an angle? i thought it was an old granny this whole time

[vocal warren]

hear me out on raised fist

[manic talon]

for a while i thought the temperance wings were just mountains shillouttes

[acoustic kettle]

It's not?

[manic talon]

but then i saw the actual tarot the balala was based on

[manic talon]

theres an actual mountain below the wings

[acoustic kettle]

The wings are massive

[lunar zealot]

what do you think

wings have to be massive

[dry ether]

Hmmm, can't go wrong with 2 polychromee misprints

[lunar zealot]

square cube law

Prob used one of the uncommon tags

I think

[vocal warren]

or the uhhh

[forest rapids]

That’s sad

[vocal warren]

the tag one

[dry ether]

issue of skill

[weak timber]

I sure hope I didn't miss the reroll boss blind voucher somewhere! That would be upsetting

[forest rapids]

Actually wait he bought a booster pack

[vocal warren]

it says 0 dollars 🤨

[forest rapids]

….

[reef barn]

does it matter which one I copy here?

[vocal warren]

why free

[weak timber]

I guess by ante 15 I should've been able to skip for one 😔

[forest rapids]

I don’t understand

[forest rapids]

What ante

[vocal warren]

OH IM BLIND

[forest rapids]

And what are you other jokers

[reef barn]

Im trying to make as much money

[vocal warren]

thats a plus sign not a minus

[vocal warren]

SEAL!!

[reef barn]

Hello

thats me

[vocal warren]

awe

i cant send the funny seal gif

[reef barn]

a spare trousers lmao

[weak timber]

I fear you may be right

[forest rapids]

It depends how many face cards

[dry ether]

did you have director's cut

[weak timber]

nah I didn't find it, but I probably should've been hunting for a skip tag to try and get one. Skill issue

[forest rapids]

For money I think it’s business card

[reef barn]

wouldnt copying Hanging Chad allow Business card to trigger more times though

or is having a second business card better

[forest rapids]

2 business cards is better assuming you hit all the money from both business chards

Cards*

[reef barn]

small amount of money going into ante 2 lmao

[forest rapids]

…..

How do ppl fight the urge to spend all their money

[desert quiver]

They don't.

i'm gonna finish 5 gold stakes to unlock challenges and then only do jokerless

[proper oasis]

after grinding gold stake for so long, the fact that the challenges are on white stake is such a relief

[shell current]

It comes down to if you have red seal.
Copying cat is x10,000
Bloodstone is x3,300 without red seals but x190,000 with

Wow it makes it so much easier

Even the harder ones

[signal frigate]

[proper oasis]

haven't gotten to it yet

jokerless sounds spicy tho

[proven gulch]

needle is orders of magnitude harder

i first tried jokerless

[fervent wolf]

Voucher idea:buy back $10

Adds all bought vouchers back into the available vouchers (except buy back)

[proper oasis]

good to know

[mild scaffold]

Needle is pretty spicy

[proper oasis]

should I save it for last then?

I wanna save the hardest for last

more satisfying that way

[mild scaffold]

You need stuff like red card, flash card, or swashbuckler egg to make needle beatable

Basically just +mult that scales without needing to play hands

And obviously a way to turn your discards into money, so delayed gratification or rebate

And also an easy to play hand like pairs or high card

It's hard to set up but it's doable

[proven gulch]

delayed grat on needle is

[surreal spruce]

Delayed gray on needle

Lmao

Swegg on needle

[proven gulch]

sketchy

[mild scaffold]

It works better when you can afford to

[surreal spruce]

[mild scaffold]

That's the way I did it

[surreal spruce]

Just horrible advice

[fervent wolf]

Burglar counters Needle easy

[proven gulch]

i'm 99% sure it's banned

[surreal spruce]

I get the idea of hand agnostic builds but

[mild scaffold]

I mean of course it does

[surreal spruce]

Swegg isn’t it

[proper oasis]

it's banned

[fervent wolf]

Oh wait you're talking abt a challenge nvm

[mild scaffold]

Swegg is an option, don't just disregard it

[proper oasis]

disreggard

[surreal spruce]

+3 a round for 2 jokers slots

It’s disregarded

That’s a horrible option

[proven gulch]

you havent even unlocked the challenge 😭

[proper oasis]

I know what the challenges are

[mild scaffold]

Sometimes it's what you gotta settle with

And like

After you're done with swegg you can pivot into dagger

It's really not that bad

[surreal spruce]

This is the dumbest scenario I’ve heard. The chances of that happening are so slim it’s not reliable to say that it makes it good

[willow frost]

blue seal?

say that again

[balmy ridge]

do i take supernova or castle? maybe both?

[surreal spruce]

What’s your hands played looking like

[slim sonnet]

first naneinf unseeded!

[surreal spruce]

Or well actually you just wouldn’t take nova

[mild scaffold]

Supernova over half joker and start playing all your habds

[surreal spruce]

You have red card

[balmy ridge]

thinking supernova is bad on green deck cus i wanna keep hands and discards

[mild scaffold]

Oh then yeah

[surreal spruce]

Supernova is just kinda

[balmy ridge]

but then poor

[surreal spruce]

Eh

Not very good

[mild scaffold]

Don't do thT

[balmy ridge]

supernova is amazing if ur spamming pairs

[surreal spruce]

You take castle tho

[balmy ridge]

ya fo sho

[surreal spruce]

It’s still sizably worse than other hand agnostic scalers for pairs

[willow frost]

does anyone have a link to the cryptid discord/know where to get it

[willow frost]

GGGGGG

[surreal spruce]

Since you want them early game and supernova isn’t as good early game and it’s more boss blind dependent too

[willow frost]

thats very early, nice

[slim sonnet]

i got everything i needed so didnt need to prolong it!

[willow frost]

oh wait you had perkeo that makes sense

[clever nest]

gang should i sell something for another hanging chad

[surreal spruce]

A photo

[willow frost]

i personally wouldve gotten as many cryptids as possible and gotten like e1000 at ante 39 for fun lol

[slim sonnet]

yessir, the moment i got perkeo, i was like IT'S TIME FOR BARON 🤩

[surreal spruce]

2^9 vs 2^10

[clever nest]

okay!! Ty :D

[slim sonnet]

oh that's so true

that's the next goal, if i get perkeo..

[molten elbow]

just joined to say my luck is off the charts

[serene forge]

thanks blowman

[willow frost]

i wouldve liked to do ante 39 with naneinf so i could get it out of the way, but ah well

[molten elbow]

had a gros michel last me 6 antes

and stayed till the end

[molten elbow]

okay maybe my luck isn't the best

[slim sonnet]

what's the required score for 39 actually?

[willow frost]

naneinf

[molten elbow]

e308

[willow frost]

funny enough

[slim sonnet]

or 38, since 39 is naneinf

[willow frost]

e298 i think?

[slim sonnet]

oh dang, i dont think i can survive that far ngl 💀

[molten elbow]

there are quite a few ways to

most ways to do it are seeded though

[slim sonnet]

oh dang, unseeded would be way cool

how tho? can using serpent + burglar method get you that far?

[molten elbow]

yeah but you'd need perfect rolls on basically everything from jokers, tarot and some spectrals

even some vouchers

[manic talon]

Every hand on the serpent basically translates into a cryptid so yea

[balmy ridge]

smeared joker works with castle right?

[slim sonnet]

with how many jokers usually? the usual 7 with 2 ecto?

[molten elbow]

honestly no idea

[slim sonnet]

I did tried before, i did went to e200 and i couldnt get any futher-

[proper oasis]

yall making my e35 high score look paltry in comparison

it was a potential naneinf that I botched by being stoopid

perkeo+cryptid ante 1, then baron+mime ante 2

but yeah i really messed it up

[slim sonnet]

nah, I've been there 😭 screwing up such a good run, made me stopped playing

[proper oasis]

frfr

perkeo+cryptid ante 1 should've been a free nane

[weak coyote]

do i get the eternal egg chat

[proper oasis]

yes

[sleek valley]

just never sell it

[slim sonnet]

quite literally, unless baron doesnt come home 🫠

[weak coyote]

what an insight

[proper oasis]

basically I didn't get any econ cuz I was dumb and didn't make tons of gold kings

like i got some econ but not enough

rookie mistake- should've just went all in with the deaths

it do be tempting keeping them deaths until you get a red seal king

for the Monolith challenge, my plan is to spam pairs until I'm too inundated with stone cards, then spam high card until ante 8
