[dark cairn]

i should check my stats

[white zodiac]

im concerned that I have more strush wins than flush wins

the only one I can even remember was on abandoned

for my 4th c++

[dark cairn]

🤔

[white zodiac]

looks about right

[dark cairn]

how bout this

[white zodiac]

yeah

temp too low

[dark cairn]

i usually only run into it at the start of the run when i only have like 3 jokers max 😒

[proper flame]

the dastardly flush five jack/ace build

[dark cairn]

or after i got liquidation

[proper flame]

wow 203 'Nope!'s

[dark cairn]

true

what if wheel of fortune had a 0.1% chance to turn a joker negative on success lol

[proper flame]

would be very fun tbh

[dark cairn]

don't ask why neptune is so high

i dont know

[white zodiac]

so far

[dark cairn]

ooh spooky

[white zodiac]

I haven't found enough spectrals on my new profile yet

[dark cairn]

my voucher stats are pretty boring so im not gonna bother sharing that

[dark cairn]

photochad

[solid tapir]

finally got a bull run

[proven gulch]

if it wins it wins 🤷‍♂️

[white zodiac]

fun

[lunar zealot]

Jesus this barely beats vv

gg

[solid tapir]

it did not lmaoooo

[dark cairn]

yes

[solid tapir]

I got vv as my ante 8 boss

luckily I got hieroglyph

[white zodiac]

that'll be my last stickers on my 5th profile I've declared

[lunar zealot]

Yeah why are you running photo with chips lol

[solid tapir]

I needed some sort of xmult so I had picked it up early

[abstract rivet]

I mean

[solid tapir]

was hoping to get cavendish

[terse gyro]

matador actually being useful?

[abstract rivet]

It basically doubles his chips

[solid tapir]

settled for photo

before sock I had delayed grat

[abstract rivet]

Its kind of like a 2x mult if you think about it

[proven gulch]

a1 matador is nearly always good, i wouldn't hex it tho

[solid tapir]

its not that useful for plasma but xmult is xmult

[zinc karma]

Fragile was... Way easier than i thought, actually

[zinc karma]

Matador is goated

[lunar zealot]

On plasma

[abstract rivet]

Matador is good...if you actually even get the boss blinds that work with him

[terse gyro]

gotta do it, just cuz i dont have the gold sticker

[lunar zealot]

yeah sure

[proven gulch]

> challenge
> fully glass cards + double dice
>...ok

[manic talon]

Matador isnt a bad joker, matador is just completely unintuitive to use in a game where reading the joker explains the joker

[proven gulch]

black deck matador saves runs

[solid tapir]

matador is my goat

[abstract rivet]

Its so weird how certain boss blinds just don't...work with him

[white zodiac]

mmm you have to be in a safe position to rely on that kind of money gen

[abstract rivet]

Like why tf does the hook/discard 2 cards when hand played not work with him

[solid tapir]

also, andolth

this is why 3rd win

for the streak

[abstract rivet]

Or playing any flipped cards

[zinc karma]

Fuck

[solid tapir]

wish me luck for this 4th one

[terse gyro]

i wonder how localthunk is gonna rework matador

[proven gulch]

credit card in the judgment in the arcana?

bs isnt even good here ngl, i'm taking jimbo

[solid tapir]

I feel like hook should work with matador

it is a shame it does not

[manic talon]

Flint does, hook and tooth doesnt, actual arbitrary standards

[solid tapir]

🥀

[white zodiac]

the code does not match the description in that it just triggers based on played/scored hand debuffs, disabled hands (eye, mouth, psychic), or during scoring timing (ox, arm, flint)

description doesn't match consistency

[abstract rivet]

Burglar + blueprint + matador is mad money tho

That combo is silly

Can potentially score like over 100$ in a single round

[solid tapir]

one more

[white zodiac]

cool

you could be totally lying and I wouldn't even know

[solid tapir]

now why would I do that

[dark cairn]

is ouija card ever useful or is it best to just avoid it like the plague

[solid tapir]

🥀

[dark cairn]

so far i've been avoiding it

[solid tapir]

good if you want direction

I guess

[white zodiac]

not even

[solid tapir]

hence the I guess

I don't think I've used ouija more than twice

lol

[white zodiac]

making your discards worse isn't really worth the tradeoff if you can't manipulate your hand size for the time you'll use it

[proven gulch]

I JUST CHUCKED PHOTO

[manic talon]

The -1 handsize really makes it bad, you only can use it for 3oak, and even then its not that great because you lose one handsize for blue seals or golds

[terse gyro]

im wondering, do yall think reserved parking needs a buff i feel like it only giving one dollar is pretty weak, especially since buisness card has the same chance but for played cards and it gives 2 dollars

[manic talon]

Doing 4oak or higher with only 7 handsize is not great

[zinc karma]

Well...

[solid tapir]

$1 for RP feels meh fs

[dark cairn]

whatd be funny is taking a juggle tag with a bunch of double tags and a ouija card in your inventory and then turning your entire deck into one rank

but thats about all i could see it being useful for

which is about as niche as could possibly get

[solid tapir]

I feel like if localthunk removed the -1 hand size then ouija would be pretty nice

the drawback hurts a lot

[white zodiac]

it was broken when it was like that on release

[terse gyro]

i pretty much never take ouija

[solid tapir]

really ? damn

[manic talon]

Reserved parking is good as is, you play 3 hands with all face cards in hand, then use the face for last hand, you will get more money out of reserved parking than business card

[solid tapir]

what if it was like -1 hand instead

or discard

[dark cairn]

that sounds overpowered though

its a lot easier to make your deck all one suit than all one rank

[solid tapir]

apparently it was

[dark cairn]

theres 14 ranks only 4 suits

[solid tapir]

which I can see why

[dark cairn]

bit of a random note though but

i am dreading when i eventually have to face the golden needle challenge

i made the mistake of trying to do jokerless already and it kicked my ass

[solid tapir]

some people who have attempted it said it was easy

[white zodiac]

you can have parking trigger multiple hands while face limits the amount of triggers and faces you play. not ot mention early game setup

[dark cairn]

thats what i was told for jokerless too 😒

and then it took 3 hours to beat

[solid tapir]

that is also what I have heard for jokerless

[shell current]

They’re both great

[white zodiac]

golden needle?

[solid tapir]

yes

[dark cairn]

i have not seen a single person say golden needle is less difficult than jokerless

[white zodiac]

that challenge is mostly rng

[dark cairn]

ive seen a plethora of people say the opposite though

[solid tapir]

I have yet to get to completing challenges myself so I can't provide input

[dark cairn]

this is my personal tierlist after my experience with them

[white zodiac]

jokerless has more consistency for removing essentially 20/28 chance to find jokers

[solid tapir]

I will compare my experience with this when I get to it

[dark cairn]

guess which hand i had to build around for my winning jokerless run lol

[white zodiac]

parking mogs business

[dark cairn]

parking + shoot the moon? 🤔

[white zodiac]

if u want to

[dark cairn]

since nobody answered me, i had to play flushes lol

i got like 5 of the same suit changing tarot card in the first like 3 antes and in previous runs i died from being unable to draw straights so i was like

hmmmm i sense an opportunity here

and it worked

this was the end of the run https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/llg7Qo5s1epOrDkU0?invite=cr-MSxQVzcsMzg1MjQ0MTcy&v=60

[valid abyss]

guys im a genius, balatro should have a "bent card" enhancement so it always makes that card get drawn into your hand similar to how people do things to their cards in poker to draw the good card

[solid tapir]

bbc or the family

[solid tapir]

this isn't a bad idea fr

[heavy heron]

what hand are you going for?

[solid tapir]

4oak or 5oak

[valid abyss]

then take the family

[heavy heron]

are they all spades?

[solid tapir]

most of my 2's are spades

[heavy heron]

if you have wee, you have chips covered

you don’t need arrowhead

[valid abyss]

but its cool though

[heavy heron]

IT IS

i love arrowhead

[valid abyss]

i say sell the big baseball card

[heavy heron]

but ideally you don’t need 2 sources of chips

[valid abyss]

and take family

[solid tapir]

if it's relevant, I am playing plasma

and I also want to sticker arrowhead lol

[valid abyss]

all i hear is blah blah i hate hearing funyn number go up sound

[heavy heron]

well what’s your level on 4/5oak?

[manic talon]

they had this as a voucher in the beta, probably not there anymore because its too good

[valid abyss]

hows it a voucher

it should be some sort of spectral card so its more rare instead

[heavy heron]

you’re right

[heavy heron]

i love when funny number goes up

[manic talon]

your most played card always gets drawn first

[valid abyss]

oh

[heavy heron]

okay i’m ngl you don’t need mult at all

all your scoring is coming from chips

[valid abyss]

that doesnt seem like my idea though

[heavy heron]

just sell bbc

[solid tapir]

alrighty

ty

[heavy heron]

and take family

[valid abyss]

mine is an enhancement through spectrals

[heavy heron]

yup

[manic talon]

that would probably be even more busted

[valid abyss]

turns 1 card into a bent card

every time you find a spectral pack

[manic talon]

also it would be a seal, because its a spectral

[valid abyss]

which in my findings is Hard

[valid abyss]

but but but bent card funnier

[manic talon]

i dont make the rules

I fell asleep

[valid abyss]

awesome

[solid tapir]

that was almost scary

I need to get 5

to officially beat andolth's challenge

but at least I have matched the goal

[valid abyss]

i dont know who andolth is but im sure you can beat him

[solid tapir]

this is andolth

[white zodiac]

also known as

steve

[valid abyss]

looks pretty gay if you ask me so youll be fine

[solid tapir]

oh wew, I have another friend in a different server called steve

[valid abyss]

to andolth, your opponent looks gay too so youll be fine

[acoustic kettle]

Gay off

[white zodiac]

[solid tapir]

😭

I've been playing gs plasma for like

[valid abyss]

glad im not biased

[solid tapir]

12+ hours now

[valid abyss]

play gold stake on the sleep deck

[solid tapir]

this challenge has sucked the soul out of me

[solid tapir]

black deck ?

[white zodiac]

im currently doing that rn

[solid tapir]

bd gs ?

[white zodiac]

yeah

[solid tapir]

good luck

hopefully the seeds treat you well

[solid tapir]

true

[proven gulch]

[valid abyss]

translation: SCREW you i hope you LOSE so i WIN

[white zodiac]

I'm trying to beat brookes stupid 10 win streak or some shit

[solid tapir]

10 wins on black deck?

back to back ?

[valid abyss]

What

i didnt think a winstreak on black deck was possible

[solid tapir]

since andolth is doing a different challenge I can't really beat them by winning this plasma run lol

[valid abyss]

you can do whatever you put your mind to

#motivation #alpha

[solid tapir]

so true

[white zodiac]

yeah

[solid tapir]

that is insane

I can't lie

[valid abyss]

is that a birth defect

[solid tapir]

the inability to lie ?

[valid abyss]

yes

[solid tapir]

it might be

[valid abyss]

soryr i love saying that when people say they cant lie

[solid tapir]

understandable

[tranquil cargo]

"I cannot lie, I'm the truth telling guard" ~the truth telling guard (and also the lying guard)

[valid abyss]

and then he was shot 47 times in the head

[grand peak]

😛😛😛

[manic talon]

me when i lie (or telling the truth)

[solid tapir]

by my flaming crossbow of righteousness

[valid abyss]

how are you holding it

you can get burned you know

[solid tapir]

fire resistance

[valid abyss]

ohhh okay

[solid tapir]

8:00

[valid abyss]

lets hope the boss fight is 8 minutes or less

[manic talon]

if youre righteous you wouldnt get burned

[valid abyss]

that makes sense too

[manic talon]

it says it on the tin

[valid abyss]

on the nutrition facts

[solid tapir]

didn't read the fine print myself but that sounds correct

[lunar zealot]

is this ggs?

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

I WANTED TO FUCKING THROW THE RUN BUT NO SHOT

HOLOGRAPHIC BUS

LIKE I WAS GONNA THROW THE RUN BUT LIKE WOW

[wintry ice]

probably shoulda added a spoiler to that

and that makes 5

I am never doing this again

[lunar zealot]

I used retcon specifically just to reroll for violet vessel

Die

Very large blind

[wintry ice]

who needs chips when

[lunar zealot]

Oh no i used blueprint + hiker LMFAO

[wintry ice]

lol

i used stone cards as the sole fuel for obelisk chips once

it was fun

[solid tapir]

@white zodiac I've done it, these are all the runs in order

[wintry ice]

rare instance of bloodstone being useful

[solid tapir]

I don't think I will be attempting to ws plasma gs again, but this challenge has redefined my understanding of plasma

[solid tapir]

the first run could have ended in a loss, but bs did not do the thing

[alpine hollow]

It tends to be either +chips or Xmult with plasma

[solid tapir]

you can certainly win with either of those

but I find +chips to be easier

[alpine hollow]

bloodstone is indeed bs

[solid tapir]

unless violent vessel

then it becomes iffy

[alpine hollow]

same

[solid tapir]

absolutely

I didn't put the copy on bloodstone for that exact reason

[wintry ice]

there's not much option for anything in between

[solid tapir]

plasma +mult run

[wintry ice]

that's the reason why this deck is inconsistent

[alpine hollow]

If it had a garuenteedd chance for, say, X1.1 mult, it wold be way better

[lunar zealot]

x1.1 is literally nothing

[solid tapir]

ws'ing plasma has defintely shown me this

[lunar zealot]

that's 10% of your mult

[alpine hollow]

I would still take it over 1 in 2 chance for X1.5

[solid tapir]

but I still find plasma the most enjoyable of all the decks

[wintry ice]

1 in 2 chance of 1.5x mult is 1.25x mult on average isn't it

[alpine hollow]

Sort of, except it is not affected by previous procs

or lack thereof

[alpine hollow]

that is only with an abitraly large sample size

[ripe sleet]

soon

[wintry ice]

yeah but 1.1x is far from that amount

[alpine hollow]

congrats

[alpine hollow]

what about retrigger synergies?

[lunar zealot]

With 100 base mult that's 10 mult per proc

[uncut slate]

guaranteed 1.2x is probably a better spot for bloodskull

[lunar zealot]

ride the bus has more +mult on average

[alpine hollow]

i am also wary of not letting it overshadow the other three suit jokers

[lunar zealot]

Yes it compounds but like

100 + 10% = 110

[solid tapir]

the evil abstract

[lunar zealot]

110 + 10% = 121

World's slowest compounding interest

[alpine hollow]

tf happened there?

[weary zinc]

there is no way i missed out on the 100,000,000 achievement by 120k points ;-;

[solid tapir]

Abstract has been used for 666 rounds

[wintry ice]

it would cap out at like 1.7x

which is low for a conditional uncommon xmult joker

[uncut slate]

the others are all pretty good. 1.2^5 is still only like 2.5x mult

[alpine hollow]

oh, i thought it meant that it was giving +666 mult

[solid tapir]

😭

[uncut slate]

it's right in line with the tribe

[wintry ice]

like seeing double which has an easier trigger condition gives more

[solid tapir]

this is for flushes right

[uncut slate]

yes

[solid tapir]

icl I hate the tribe sm

[uncut slate]

yeah the trube sucks

[lunar zealot]

Blackboard gives x3 for free

[solid tapir]

2x mult

bleh

[wintry ice]

1.25x sounds decent enough if you make the hearts spammable

[uncut slate]

bloodskull 1.2x with retriggers would definitely be worth it

[wintry ice]

i think that's a bit too strong to use as a baseline

[alpine hollow]

i wouldnt call it free

[uncut slate]

it's free in most gold stake runs

but yeah not technically free

[wintry ice]

it's pretty much free if you're not using a flush derived hand

[alpine hollow]

it uses up a heap of discards

[lunar zealot]

So is see2

[uncut slate]

i rarely discard for bb lol

[wintry ice]

eh removing light cards from your hand isn't that difficult

the dark suits also have better synergies overall so you're more likely to build towards those

[alpine hollow]

I do tend to prefer less-conditional mult over more-conditional mult

[uncut slate]

seeing double is harder to proc in a pair build imo so it's always disappointing to use vs bb but i realize for most hands it's balanced at 2x

[alpine hollow]

thats fair

[lunar zealot]

But like making bloodstone x1.1 just completely kills it

even if it was guaranteed that completely guts the scoring of it

[alpine hollow]

What about the other 3 suit jokers, though?

[uncut slate]

they're all good

[alpine hollow]

I would say it fits in with them

[lunar zealot]

onyx is the second best on-scored +mult

[wintry ice]

rough gem is just mediocre

onyx and arrow are good enough to justify flushes

[uncut slate]

rough gem hate will not be tolerated that joker is good enough for who it's for

[wintry ice]

also i still don't know if you use flushes as a 1 shot hand with arrow

[alpine hollow]

spade flush

having decent mult as well helps

[lunar zealot]

Arrowhead is just gay bull

They're not remotely similar that's the joke

[uncut slate]

arrowhead is a lovely little joker

fun to play with and great at what it does

[lunar zealot]

Only thing that does what it does actually

what else gives on-scored +chips

[uncut slate]

holo

[lunar zealot]

scholar and 10-4 and like

Uhhhhhhh

[uncut slate]

but yeah jokers don't really

[alpine hollow]

hiker, i suppose

[wintry ice]

todd

[lunar zealot]

Ah right todd

[uncut slate]

coincidentally also a great joker

[lunar zealot]

Yeah todd is better than steven lol

[wintry ice]

i had an idea of a fib type joker that gives +chips for prime ranks

[lunar zealot]

2 3 5 7

[wintry ice]

i don't know if i make it 51 or 61

[lunar zealot]

ace?

it's 11 but also 1

11 is prime and 1 is neither

[alpine hollow]

as in, 2 3 5 7 J

[uncut slate]

on score effects are fun to play with in general tbh

[lunar zealot]

It gives ace another synergy too

[wintry ice]

no ace because it has the same amount of valid ranks without it

[lunar zealot]

Fun but sadly too inconsistent

[lost vault]

boop

[uncut slate]

todd is consistent enough for the most part

but some of them are rough yes

[wintry ice]

if only blue stake

[lunar zealot]

and boss blinds

[wintry ice]

i think the bosses would be more manageable if blue stake was less bad

[lunar zealot]

True

you don't die to needle and mouth

[alpine hollow]

I kind of wish the blue stake rework was some kind of nerf for eternal stickers

[solid tapir]

why nerf for eternals

[alpine hollow]

ankh is too good above black stake

[solid tapir]

I think that depends

[alpine hollow]

same wth madness

[wintry ice]

eh

i don't get to use ankh and hex that often past earlygame

[signal frigate]

Eternal is supposed to be a risk type of sticker

[solid tapir]

yeah

[wintry ice]

a lot of your scoring still comes from non-eternal jokers

[signal frigate]

I don't see how it would make sense

[alpine hollow]

arent stickers supposed to be negative effects?

[wintry ice]

so madness and the other stuff that like eternals are still risky

[solid tapir]

Ankh gets worse as you progress through the game

its like invis

[wintry ice]

yeah, it forces you to commit to keeping a joker for the rest of the run

[alpine hollow]

i suppose so

[solid tapir]

in my experience, most of the time if I'm taking an eternal, I don't even mind keeping it till ante 8

[lunar zealot]

Eternals have almost killed me many times

they're great where they are

[wintry ice]

i had a run die because i took a theoretically fine eternal half joker

[lunar zealot]

Eternals mean you can't sell jokers to sticker duds

that's the biggest problem

[wintry ice]

it turned out that that seed had no chip sources besides bonus cards to i was forced to sell an xmult joker on verdsnt leaf and died

the first and only time leaf was a problem for me

[signal frigate]

"Nerfing" them wouldn't make sense as you allude to them being a positive thing

[alpine hollow]

They have positive uses, unlike perishable

[solid tapir]

did you check the seed with soul

[wintry ice]

here it is

[solid tapir]

VL5TGADR

[signal frigate]

They're all supposed to be an added challenge

[north schooner]

How hard is it to win plasma gold without resorting to photochad?

[signal frigate]

They're good where they are, they don't need a change

[wintry ice]

i'm wondering if dr spectre's seed submissions is locked to his server

[solid tapir]

very easy

[signal frigate]

Challenging but not impossible

[solid tapir]

lol

[wintry ice]

because i feel like thid would definitely make for interesting content

[signal frigate]

It's kind of fun

[solid tapir]

photochad isn't really a win con for plasma

you just need chips

[signal frigate]

All you need to do is get some chips early and get that leverage you got from chip scoring to build up xmult

[alpine hollow]

get stuntman and your good

[north schooner]

no I don't want to do only chips though. Need to pivot

[signal frigate]

That's... The point

[wintry ice]

iirc 8x mult isn't enough to outpace the chip scaling of most planets

[solid tapir]

no photochad in any of these plasma gs runs

[signal frigate]

Chips are your temporary source of score

Although it can still win Plasma Gold

It's recommended to transition to xmult

[north schooner]

Just get 1 in 150 odds also not the play

[signal frigate]

That's the fuckin game.

[solid tapir]

xmult only when violent vessel, otherwise +chips can win plasma gs

if you have enough hands +chips can also just straight up win, even against vv

[signal frigate]

You're playing a Roguelike my man, there's other options for a reason

Stuntman isn't the only one

[cold remnant]

What would you take

[signal frigate]

There's scary face and arrowhead

[cold remnant]

👀

[solid tapir]

I would take bs

[wintry ice]

brainstorm

[solid tapir]

because drivers license is useless as well

[signal frigate]

It's white stake, the answer is easy

[wintry ice]

what's in the shop right now

[cold remnant]

Suit +3 mult

[manic robin]

chicot should be classified as an econ joker Lowkey

free ten dollars

[wintry ice]

that should be fine for now

[solid tapir]

this is bait

[cold remnant]

I am only spamming games to finally get triboulet to come home

[lunar zealot]

bait

post gold stake wins

[solid tapir]

trib is temperance vale

[north schooner]

Ok, so, I'm not stupid, I know I need to start out with chips and pivot to mult later on, but saying "plasma's easy, just get stuntman" is not a serious point

[wintry ice]

trib should be classified as a sell value scaler

[solid tapir]

plasma is easy just get scaling chips*

[cold remnant]

So many chicot and perkeos out of my souls

[wintry ice]

because he increases temperance value

[cold remnant]

😩

[signal frigate]

You took it seriously

[north schooner]

apparently

[solid tapir]

also I don't like stuntman unless Im doing highcard or pairs on plasma

having 5 hand size sucks

[torpid ice]

thanks appreciate it

[solid tapir]

egg

[signal frigate]

Stuntman is just free early win so

It can help you build up interest

[cold remnant]

How do stickers work

[solid tapir]

you get stickers

by winning

[cold remnant]

Do you have to do all stakes all decks

[wintry ice]

a joker can't be perishable and eternal at the same tine

[signal frigate]

I don't use it as my only way to win ante 8 but it's something I use to get out of earlygame

[solid tapir]

a win on any stake gives you a sticker

on the winning lineup

[signal frigate]

You mean the chips?

[wintry ice]

gold gives all the previous stickers

[signal frigate]

What he said

[wintry ice]

she

[signal frigate]

You do this for every single joker btw

[signal frigate]

My bad

[solid tapir]

[cold remnant]

So gold stickers earned on abandoned will show on plasma?

[north schooner]

c+ is a single gold stake win on each deck.

c++ is beat the gold stake ante 8 boss with each joker in your lineup at least once, any deck

[solid tapir]

yes

[signal frigate]

It's every deck yeah

You just have to play Gold Stake

The deck doesn't matter

[solid tapir]

once you get a gs on a joker it is universal

except if you change profiles

ofc

[signal frigate]

Play goldstake once, any joker you used to win with will have a gold chip on them

To show you that you've beaten gold stake with those jokers

[cold remnant]

I'll go for c+ once I finally get 150/150

Been 149/150 since at least April

[solid tapir]

who is missing

[signal frigate]

I've done C++ three times

[cold remnant]

Triboulet

:(

[signal frigate]

Across mobile and pc

[north schooner]

What're you missing?

[solid tapir]

temperance value is missing

[signal frigate]

Well, are any of your legendaries gold chipped?

[cold remnant]

I don't think so

[north schooner]

Honestly, just play towards gold stake on each deck, and one of the runs you'll find a trib.

[cold remnant]

I've been spamming double tag deck white stake to go for souls

[solid tapir]

do seeded runs count towards discovering a jonkler

[north schooner]

I did that for a month to find perkeo and never did, then I started playing some gold stake and found it within 3 runs.

iPhone keyboard is killing me

[solid tapir]

apparently not

oh well

[cold remnant]

Whoa I've never beat gold stake on the cell phone

[north spindle]

on gold stake souls will preferentially create* jokers that you haven't won with on gold stake yet

[solid tapir]

^ yeah

[twilit panther]

Insane but sad that there is no point in taking it

[solid tapir]

my next soul will probably be a canio or perkolator run

[north schooner]

If I have to do an ante 8 idol run, is that less painful on plasma than other decks, or no?

[solid tapir]

well you could sell showman

if you get chicot you're just gonna win

[left juniper]

no

[solid tapir]

idol is painful pre endless on any deck

[north schooner]

Only for legendaries, and I hadn't gold stickered any legendaries at the time

[left juniper]

If you want a gold sticker on Idol just play your best deck and get a good set up with 4 jokers and hope Idol shows up and does nothing

[north spindle]

souls only generate legendaries?

[solid tapir]

also idol pre endless on plasma is even more painful

[north schooner]

Yeah

[left juniper]

Technically no but practically yes

[solid tapir]

what else would they generate

[north schooner]

Ah yes misread what you said

[left juniper]

Um ackshully Soul can give you Joker 🤓

[north spindle]

do they generate something else if you already have all 5 legendaries?

[left juniper]

Yeah Joker

[north spindle]

oh

kinda dissapointing

i was hoping it would just give you another canio or something

[twilit panther]

Insane prediction

[left juniper]

Of course if you have Showman you can get whatever the Soul is supposed to give. But if not then Joker

[solid tapir]

its just gg

[twilit panther]

And I somehow got it

[solid tapir]

well 1/5

[north schooner]

Yeah my point with that was, don't bother digging for that last joker unlock, just play the game with another goal in mind and it'll eventually happen and feel like less of a slog

[left juniper]

Don't turn fun into a chore or you'll hate it

[cold remnant]

Oh damn gold stake got hands

[north schooner]

uh... uh...

negative rental vagabond? Right?

maybe I can get that ante 8 idol run online?

[crisp shale]

why isnt this unlocked yet?

[north schooner]

Abstract is the safe, boring play

[crisp shale]

challenge runs?

[north schooner]

beat a non challenge run, usually

[crisp shale]

no i meant is it because i bought playing cards from shop in chall runs

[lyric shore]

i dont think itd increment

[stark karma]

The thing with idol is you don’t even need to fully fix your deck

[lost vault]

yeah, just a whole damn lot

[north schooner]

Sure

[stark karma]

Yeah

I mean you can have like 5-6 different ranks

Probs

[ocean yoke]

I love green joker

[hardy fable]

oh you'll never guess what I love

[ocean yoke]

Troubadour

[hardy fable]

what makes you think that, I love blue joker👍

[ocean yoke]

I think you like having a big hand size

ngl

W tbh

[hardy fable]

anaglyph shenanigans

[smoky vessel]

all in straight build or nah

[ocean yoke]

straight

for the funsies

[solid tapir]

can afford it

why not

[solid tapir]

I'd be so happy if I had this as a start on my runs

even without poly

[ocean yoke]

its so fire lowk

dw

i suck so i just get lucky

[hardy fable]

got the 50% off voucher now I only need the other 2 (fuck illusion)

[nova junco]

Illusion was I think the only thing missing for completionist for a long LONG time for me

[hardy fable]

I did everything thing else before getting illusion

[ocean yoke]

huh

why the 1 differnt

[nova junco]

I got illusion on an endless anaglyph with 10 voucher tags lmao

[hardy fable]

wht I did too lmao

[nova junco]

Maybe one of them was debuffed by crimson heart?

Oh yeah it was crimson heart sorry my eyes weren't eyeing

Didn't see it

[ocean yoke]

AHH

yea

yea no i had that

[nova junco]

Yeah debuffed jokers don't scale

[solid tapir]

that would pmo fr

them being desynced like that

[nova junco]

Same lol

[ornate orchid]

o7

[ocean yoke]

lowk peak

[valid abyss]

i have never seen my green joker higher than 6 mult

so like

what the fuck man

[ocean yoke]

it can go a long way

especially with burgler

[solid tapir]

if you're discarding ofc it's gonna be like that lol

[valid abyss]

burger

[tranquil cargo]

it goes a lot higher if you play several hands and don't discard

[solid tapir]

my highest grimbo was 116

[valid abyss]

you guys are fucking insane

[manic talon]

classic anaglyph deck dies with 10 billion double tags

[ocean yoke]

im not looking for negative tbh

even though I should

[narrow wadi]

this deck thinning has been pretty nuts for small blind ante 6 orange stake

[manic talon]

its either you did it in challenge runs or closing and opening the game would fix it

[ocean yoke]

lowk took me forever to get that one

cuz i never use it

[smoky vessel]

mfw all my +mult was planet scaling

[lunar zealot]

Haha

I love laughing at the misfortune of others

It will never bite me in the ass

[smoky vessel]

surely

[hardy fable]

wasn't even scared

[abstract vapor]

Sell Chad and scary for squared and mime?

[smoky vessel]

shop 1 wraith

welp ig straights are my life now

[ocean yoke]

potential

[jovial copper]

i just had the greatest run in my life, got a new high score of e24

[abstract vapor]

Chat is shoot the moon or squared better

[ocean yoke]

egg

[shell seal]

In that context, I think stm

[pale grotto]

Hi, i want to win.
I should keep rerrolling?

I skipped the first 2 blinds and i just beat the manacle

Next Boss is the arm

[lyric shore]

id take drivers license early on magic

maybe 1 more roll

[pale grotto]

Ok, im buying it

Rental space perishable 3oak multi

Im im 36$

[heavy bone]

why does this game hate me

[north schooner]

negative rental vagabond pulls out the final buffoon pack sixth sense sticker win

[north schooner]

Not an idol build, but I did get flush house going

so that's just idol and perk to go

[pale grotto]

I bought the space joker

[north schooner]

Always a good choice

[pale grotto]

And i play by accident a hc instead of a pair

He leveled up the hc

[north schooner]

Classic spaceman

[lyric shore]

legendary in last 2 is rough

[pale grotto]

And not the 4 Next pairs

[north schooner]

Nah, I skipped it a whole bunch of times, because I figured a guaranteed perkeo might be fun to do something with

[lyric shore]

now youll never see it again

[twin lantern]

it'll never proc again now

[stark karma]

What’s the farthest someone has taken tarot cycling?

[smoky vessel]

almost

[stark karma]

No life achievement

[north schooner]

check out my alt account stats

[pale grotto]

True

[green meteor]

EWW

Kill it

[north schooner]

oh wait, that wasn't even the final form

[pale grotto]

Untrue he just leveled up another hc

And a pair

[green meteor]

Obelisk

It’s so bad

[north schooner]

Best joker ever

[green meteor]

Me when I lie

[pale grotto]

Ok i think snova is great should i buy him?

Next Boss is the mark

[lyric shore]

and grabber yeah

[pale grotto]

Oki ty

[north schooner]

I assume nova is over half by now?

grabber is best voucher by far, but especially with nova/spoker

[pale grotto]

13 pairs

[north schooner]

oh but painted, so you're fine

[smoky vessel]

this would be a great time for madness to show up

[north schooner]

you can even play 4-card pairs to pump nova and spaceman until you're ready to close out with half joker

[pale grotto]

I have a purple seal Queen so i try to find her more of the time to farm enchanted cards

Im in 16 D license is active!!!

Incantation familiar or trance?

Im on ante 6 now

Next Boss mouth

Trance right?

[floral mural]

trance yeah

[pale grotto]

If i got 32 enhanted cards d license give me 2 x3?

[floral mural]

the other seem like a gamble

[floral mural]

nope

[pale grotto]

F :(

[floral mural]

its a requirement not per 16 enhanced cards

[twin lantern]

that would be cool though

every multiple of 16

[north schooner]

you should be good if you're scaling nova plenty per round, though

[pale grotto]

31 pairs i got

[north schooner]

Could always swap half joker out for another xMult if it comes up

[north schooner]

What level now?

[pale grotto]

The Next Boss is the psychic

Level 11

A blueprint appear in the shop

[north schooner]

aaaand you're done

[pale grotto]

Rental eternal bp but a bp

[lyric shore]

you won

[north schooner]

don't forget you can copy spaceman until you're ready to win

[pale grotto]

Sigil ouija medium or wraith? I have 46$

[pale grotto]

I know 😈

[north schooner]

medium

[pale grotto]

Ty

[north schooner]

ouija almost never, wraith if you have $4 or less, sigil... eh

medium is A tier tho

Soul taking a beating from me skipping it all the time in c++

Im surprised aura is so much higher than talisman. I would rank them in reverse

[pale grotto]

Green joker is a no no here right?

[solid tapir]

wdym

[pale grotto]

I open a joker pack and it gaves sock and buskin

[pale grotto]

Ante 7 should i buy him?

[solid tapir]

uh no lol

[pale grotto]

Oki ty

[north schooner]

you've already got nova scaling, green joker might provide some protection against the Eye, but xMult would be better

yeah a7 is late

[pale grotto]

Violet vessel ._.

[solid tapir]

my favorite ante 8 boss blind

[north schooner]

glass and/or more xMult if you can find it

[pale grotto]

I did 420 with one hand but a Lucky gaves me a +20

I can reroll the Boss

[north schooner]

crimson heart would be bad, everything else probably trivial

[pale grotto]

Should i?

Crimson heart

It was directors cut

I hope they disable space

[solid tapir]

if you can reliably draw your hand multiple times

you can still beat vv

[pale grotto]

I have 6 hands ant 3 discards

[solid tapir]

did you rr the boss

[pale grotto]

Yes

[solid tapir]

alr

[pale grotto]

And now i won

[solid tapir]

nice

[pale grotto]

Bye bye magic deck

[solid tapir]

aguc deck

[pale grotto]

:(

What deck should i gold now?

[solid tapir]

black deck

[north schooner]

black if you haven't

[pale grotto]

~~ Magic abandoned Ghost and checkered ~~

Okay ty

[solid tapir]

first person to actually say yes

I applaud you and wish you luck

[north schooner]

I mean, it's tough, but I feel like it's better to get out of the way in the middle

[pale grotto]

Ty

[solid tapir]

black deck makes you better at the game

[north schooner]

and everything after that will feel fun and easier

except nebula deck, ugh

[solid tapir]

telescope deck

[pale grotto]

Another half joker, another pairs run :(

[solid tapir]

half joker doesn't necessarily mean pairs

[ocean yoke]

Oh yea this was my gold stake win

[solid tapir]

also pairs win

regardless

[faint remnant]

Yo!

[solid tapir]

Hello

[pale grotto]

Trading card but i have only 7$ should i ruin my econ?

[solid tapir]

trading card is econ

[pale grotto]

Is only Green stake

[solid tapir]

and deck fixing

idk how much it costs on your screen

but it will likely pay for itself in 2 rounds

and more

because deck fixing

[pale grotto]

Doesnt Matter i buy him 3 rounds before

[solid tapir]

yeh

[north schooner]

cards meet wood chipper

[solid tapir]

also damn 3 rounds already

you play fast

[pale grotto]

Is Green stake with half and jolly i win with 1 pair

[ocean yoke]

chat is this cooked

[solid tapir]

yes

[solid tapir]

cooked+ premium

[pale grotto]

Should i buy holo?

[pale grotto]

Yes right?

[solid tapir]

definitely a pair run

would buy it

[pale grotto]

#1428117284353998978

[ocean yoke]

alr

[pale grotto]

Yippieeee

The Chanel i created Will have another stat that It is not me !!!!

[ocean yoke]

how do i fix my balatro brainrot

[solid tapir]

play plasma

photochad has no domain in plasma

[ocean yoke]

220hrs and all i have is this

[solid tapir]

Jesus

[ocean yoke]

I need to watch more balatro university icl

[solid tapir]

you do

[ocean yoke]

only thing saving me

[solid tapir]

start mercury maxing and play plasma

[green meteor]

You’re so cooked

[ocean yoke]

i havent put in any effort to improve so yea

it makes sense

[solid tapir]

when I first started playing, flushes were my crutch

because it's mindless

[ocean yoke]

I have gotten out of them more recently icl

[green meteor]

Which deck

[ocean yoke]

but not enough

[solid tapir]

literally any deck

I would default to flushes

[green meteor]

That’s not as bad

[solid tapir]

still

[ocean yoke]

i watched 30 minutes of balatro university and that saved me icl

[solid tapir]

I have since converted to the church of mercury

[ocean yoke]

this game rn is js mindless to me

[solid tapir]

and have been saved

[ocean yoke]

Ill imrpove if i wanna

maybe some time

[green meteor]

I’ve always been earth but apparently it’s bad

[rocky nest]

🌝

I rerolled shop and got eternal blueprint

[ocean yoke]

rip

[green meteor]

Where?

[solid tapir]

oh god

Full house is a terrible hand

[green meteor]

😞

[solid tapir]

scales badly and is hard to draw

[green meteor]

It one shots earlier blinds tho

[solid tapir]

flush house on the other hand

[solid tapir]

only early blinds

and you're better off going for a one shot flush

[north schooner]

what

[solid tapir]

it doesn't

I will show anyone who says otherwise my plasma gs winstreak

[pale grotto]

Should i buy s double?

[solid tapir]

not a single run had photochad

[solid tapir]

it's an option

[pale grotto]

Is a pair run and i have only 12 clubs

[solid tapir]

do u have chips

if not then you can sell halfsies

because halfsies is making ur fist worse

[solid tapir]

I'd say sell halfsies and pick up sd

[north schooner]

"You can streak plasma without photochad" and "photochad doesn't work in plasma" are wildly different statements

[solid tapir]

photochad sucks on plasma

[pale grotto]

I did that rerolled once and then certificate appear

Bye bye chaos?

[solid tapir]

you should deffo take certificate

chaos can go yeah

he did his job

[pale grotto]

Ty for the help

[north schooner]

It particularly threw me because the usual r/balatro type is photochad flushes on plasma white stake

[solid tapir]

well

I believe photochad is strong

but not on plasma

I would rather have scaling chips

than dedicate two joker slots for 8x mult

[pale grotto]

I have a negative shortcut guys, i win

Invisible joker appear

The Boss is the acorn and the tiny blind has a ethereal pack

Should i buy him or im good like this?

[quartz ember]

well if you need a joker that does nothing then you should buy it

[pale grotto]

I bought him

I sold trading card

[solid tapir]

invisible joker is just useless here frfr

[pale grotto]

I won

And now invis have a Green sticker :D

[queen kindle]

i fucking hate green stake

[pale grotto]

Now im in black stake and the Game gave me a duo in the first pack, i guess i need to keep playing pairs

Now i have half joker and duo T-T

[solid tapir]

for what reason

[pale grotto]

There is a decisión to make now

[solid tapir]

great combo

[pale grotto]

Burglar or trading card?

[queen kindle]

ive been stuck on it for the past week lol

[solid tapir]

trading card for sure

[solid tapir]

play pairs

and don't overspend

also watch Dr.Spectred's gold stake lessons

[pale grotto]

Level 2 pairs

[solid tapir]

I think go next

[pale grotto]

Oh

I bought the drunkard and the Planet pack

[solid tapir]

drunkard was fine but planet pack might have been a bit expensive

did u get mercury ?

[pale grotto]

Nope

I got Pluto tho

Economy runs to catch me , but im faster

[solid tapir]

wouldn't say Pluto was worth for $6 in this situation

but with it being black stake I guess it's okay

[pale grotto]

No, It wanst

I almost Lost in ante 5 tiny blind

[solid tapir]

what did u sell for drunkard

[pale grotto]

Nothing

[solid tapir]

oh right

black deck

haha

[manic talon]

LESGO speculative oops my beloved

[solid tapir]

nice

[pale grotto]

But i sold drunkard for banana

[solid tapir]

oops the big brother of bloobstone

[solid tapir]

[pale grotto]

Yeah but now i think i loss

[lavish gazelle]

Michel don't leave me here

[solid tapir]

bangingondoor.mp3

[pale grotto]

I only did like 27k with all my hands and now i need 30k

[solid tapir]

ouf

might be rip then

[valid abyss]

matador is so fucking good

[pale grotto]

I lived that, thanks to a venus i pick in early

[valid abyss]

how is it uncommon

[solid tapir]

I agree

[valid abyss]

like i know its broken as shit but like wow

it is TOO good

[solid tapir]

it's good as an uncommon

[pale grotto]

Because half of the time he does nothing

[solid tapir]

nice

[valid abyss]

yeah yeah whatever i like him

i hope the matador rework doesnt change the guy too much

[winter pike]

does nothing half the time but the other half the time he's incredible

[pale grotto]

Speculative oops?

[valid abyss]

maybe make him a rare and fix the whole nothing half the time thing

[solid tapir]

wouldn't recommend

[pale grotto]

What rework?

[winter pike]

i love matador so much (when he does something)

[solid tapir]

unless you have lucky cards

[winter pike]

in the update

[pale grotto]

Oki

[pale grotto]

Update?

[winter pike]

localthunk confirmed matador would be changed

[solid tapir]

you can sell tc for it I guess

[winter pike]

yes

some time

[pale grotto]

But balatro is already perfect

[winter pike]

in the future

[lavish gazelle]
