idk I'm really hard on myself when I forget to move the dagger because it's something that could've been so easily avoided and yet I don't always remember it and struggle to learn from my mistake as a result
Yesterday I accidentally killed a photograph, got it back, and accidentally killed it again 😭 lmfao

[proven gulch]

i always cut my face cards 😭

[nova mantle]

i live by the saying theres a reason for a block button online

[white zodiac]

I killed blackboard this way

[solid tapir]

you're supposed to just straight up say that rtb is ass because you can't play face cards

that's the right mindset

[lost vault]

yea

[terse gyro]

i put the seed in the seed chat

[nova mantle]

oh sorry

[terse gyro]

2 legendarys, one of them being a foil chicot, the other i didnt take

[solid tapir]

[winter pike]

i cant play my photochad, what do i do

[solid tapir]

photochad is the only win con ofc

runs dead

[wintry ice]

TRIPLE MONEY HIT???

[proven gulch]

Discord blocking sucks unfortunately and Bunny is broken and aliucord feels like shit to use

[lunar zealot]

DIE

[nova mantle]

rtb is ASS cause it doesnt let me play photochad the best combo OAT

[white zodiac]

"someone keeps saying bbc in the chat"

[lost vault]

yes yes, this is why pairs suck

[solid tapir]

yurrr

[solid tapir]

yes

[acoustic kettle]

Hc photochad

[eternal anchor]

the past hour in a nutshell
I'm still on ante 3 of the run where I showed a screenshot of mystic summit and castle

[lost vault]

pairs can suck MY pair

sory

[manic talon]

Crazy that they made a whole deck that just divides your mult by 8

[proven gulch]

I hold both rtb and photograph way too much

[cosmic sun]

call me flush cause im flushing this hand down the toilet

[nova mantle]

normally i do too but i like the synergy with faceless joker/hit the road

[eternal anchor]

that sounds like it should be a challenge

[winter pike]

smh my head how could localthunk do this to us

[hardy fable]

well I do need some chips

[naive torrent]

Is there any way to view your current hand size while you’re in the shop? (Without opening a tarot/spectral!pack)

[manic talon]

Its abandoned deck

[lunar zealot]

Bye canio

[wintry ice]

i was about to ask what was with the foils until i remembered this deck has hone

[nova mantle]

but if im not checking the cards im playing like a paranoid i normally end up bluffing and playing a king high card 💔

[hardy fable]

idk count, what deck and what jokers you have?

[proven gulch]

Depending on vamp scaling diminishing returns and all that

[hardy fable]

nah I'm worth it, I'm a 51x joker

[white zodiac]

does the hone and clearance voucher cancel out on joker price

[naive torrent]

Not in a run right now. But in previous ones I’ve wished for the ability to do this lol

[proven gulch]

Bye midas

[nova mantle]

photochad has appeared in my most played jokers since forever but im trying to change that

[proven gulch]

why

[cosmic sun]

principle

[nova mantle]

to be fair gold stake runs force to use a variety of strats and ive had pretty fun runs recently

[nova mantle]

dont wanna rely on it once i get to grind c++

[eternal anchor]

Hanging Chad is my most played Joker

[proven gulch]

It kinda carried c++ for some worse jokers

[nova mantle]

photo will someday get out of this chart i hope

[lost vault]

its hopeless

[proven gulch]

new acc, it's pretty healthy i think

[eternal anchor]

could only wish to have that many Blueprint rounds

[hardy fable]

I know it's the correct play but no

[nova mantle]

not if i grab red card every run tho

[winter pike]

jupiter is still my number one planet, it's a tragedy

[eternal anchor]

Number one planet for me is Mercury

[nova mantle]

ts gotta be a disease

[proven gulch]

You alr won

[lost vault]

[proven gulch]

wtf

[winter pike]

i wish you a swift recovery

[hardy fable]

don't underestimate my stupidity

[nova mantle]

im happy that earth climbed up to the 10th spot tho ive been loving playing full houses

[proven gulch]

I have 40 jupiters here

sry this one just stressed me out

[proven gulch]

Or force photochad

[white zodiac]

[nova mantle]

[manic talon]

its only a disease if youre not fully locked in

[coarse silo]

“Yeah I mainly play flushes, how did you know”

[proven gulch]

Holy wheels

where is hangman bro

[nova mantle]

i aspire to have these records

[white zodiac]

one day

[acoustic kettle]

I don't play nearly enough to have thousands in stats

[eternal anchor]

insane

[nova mantle]

wheels are a little gamble in the gambling game being present in the part where you cant gamble that much, dont blame me

i like trying my luck

[proven gulch]

Definitive tarot tierlist

[manic talon]

the joker top 10

[white zodiac]

think of it as 12 chips

[nova mantle]

thats wicked work holy shit 😭

[proven gulch]

I wish i had stats from my old account

[alpine basalt]

I feel like this is pretty indicitive of my low skill level

[nova mantle]

im hungry rn can i eat these chips

[proven gulch]

Where mime bro

more baron+dna than mime 💔

[alpine basalt]

I wish I knew, I never seem to see it ever

whats funny is about half of those baron rounds come from a single game

[nova mantle]

havent seen someone with a legendary in their top 10 tho this is very unique

unless its seeded runs

[hardy fable]

finally destroyed a face card using familiar

[proven gulch]

Endlesser

[alpine basalt]

its probably counting seeded runs

[proven gulch]

We had a slur for that what was it

[manic talon]

might even be the most flush someone has ever played

[alpine basalt]

when I first started I mostly did seeded

[manic talon]

honestly probably is

[nova mantle]

i admire the grind 💯

[proven gulch]

NANLET

[alpine basalt]

the ones that have gold stake stickers are the ones that come from non-seeded

[simple bronze]

what do i sell?

i'm playing flushes

[alpine basalt]

not sure how dna is even in the top 10 though, I feel like I dont get it that often

[manic talon]

anyways heres an even funnier stat

[nova mantle]

before i learned the good strats i farmed flushes like a mf 😭

ive changed since then tho

[wintry ice]

i am feeling quite lucky

[manic talon]

delgrat

youre always discarding

[simple bronze]

but jimp is useless

[manic talon]

delayed gratification is even more useless

[wintry ice]

suas moment

[manic talon]

it literally does nothing if you use burnt (which you should be doing every round)

[proven gulch]

Is this you

[wintry ice]

yeah it doesn't make sense to keep one when it hurts the otehr

[manic talon]

Second profile yea

[nova mantle]

NOW THAT i think bout it lemme check my most played hand

[vapid nest]

Wtf is that

[proven gulch]

Go play a game

[hardy fable]

This is a job for you bro

[nova mantle]

The funny profile (naneinf and bugs and stuff)

[eternal anchor]

SHOULD I TAKE OBELISK or am I good with 2 xmult Jokers already?

[lunar zealot]

No reason not to obeliskmaxx if you can

[proven gulch]

Obelisk = free win

[manic talon]

Sans undertale ante skip

[lunar zealot]

You have castle

[winter pike]

three wont hurt

[lunar zealot]

You also need a scaler

[wintry ice]

goodbye i guess

[lunar zealot]

because duo and cardsharp are static

[nova mantle]

3 xmults is the way

[hardy fable]

I was only 1k off of losing😎

[proven gulch]

Can throw away duo soon too

[wintry ice]

actually i could just play a high card or flush

[lunar zealot]

With 3 you win vs vv

[eternal anchor]

I have 18 played Pairs and I specifically took a blue seal to level that hand

[wintry ice]

videogame

[lunar zealot]

great obelisk pivot

[proven gulch]

Now level hc with that seal?

[manic talon]

I barely play my 2nd profile, its just how the bug makes mr bones usage skyrocket

[proven gulch]

"barely play"
3k merry andy:

[manic talon]

You need merry andy for the bug

Also egg is for fun with the bug

[proven gulch]

does it dupe merry andy too

oh right

[white zodiac]

I could stunt my stm usage with this

[proven gulch]

yeah im slow

[manic talon]

No but you need merry andy to initiate the bug easily

[wintry ice]

i mean andy is going to be present for thousands of rounds according to the game

[eternal anchor]

High Card is level 1 dammit

[proven gulch]

You have castle+flatmult you'll be fine

[wintry ice]

mysoginy or something

[proven gulch]

Lol i haven't gotten gold sticker photochad yet

that's crazy

[white zodiac]

same lol

[proven gulch]

It's my top jokers

[eternal anchor]

what the hell is that?

[wintry ice]

photochad was one of my first gold stickers on my first profile

[white zodiac]

ok that's weird

[winter pike]

what does the deck do

[wintry ice]

maybe trading card levels of powerful

[proven gulch]

No cause i just do normal lobotomy for gold stake and have a lot of rtb

[wintry ice]

starts with discount, hone and magic trick

[winter pike]

i see

[wintry ice]

starting with clearance sale justifies the downside

[winter pike]

i suppose

[proven gulch]

Runner #3 is w though

[wintry ice]

[proven gulch]

perkeo is hopium at this point

[deep rapids]

oh yea i didnt see that

sell perkeo

[wintry ice]

most runs that don't rely on on-card scoring don't get affected by it and runs that do don't need all jokers to win

[zinc karma]

So perkeo?

I found perkeo way too late already lmao

[opal wraith]

Caca

[dry ether]

I struggle to see vagabond being viable outside green deck.
Pairs well with credit card though

[hardy fable]

dr has 269 for fortune teller ;-;

[proven gulch]

i got a gs idol run with vagaburg + bp :)

[hardy fable]

meh halfway there

[wintry ice]

you don't need interest as much if you have a lot of tarots

gold cards make the difference for you

[proven gulch]

vagabond is an amazing joker

[wintry ice]

and you have an easier time converting everything into 1 really strong card later

[dry ether]

sacrficing interest is a huge downside unless your econ is good.

[hardy fable]

every time I used vagabond I used lucky cards instead lol

[dry ether]

but yeah you do make a point if your econ is good

[proven gulch]

good tarots is good econ

[dry ether]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

[white zodiac]

in which vagabond has 5 tarot cards to fidangle with

[proven gulch]

you don't need money with 5 tarots/round

[hardy fable]

vagabond is an econ joker :D

[wintry ice]

the gold and lucky cards generated by him are enough to make the difference

[white zodiac]

hermit/temp/gold/lucky/fool

[dry ether]

now that i think about it...
Vagabond +Burglar

[wintry ice]

and technically death and hanged man too

[proven gulch]

• hangman/death

[white zodiac]

after a couple rounds yeah

[proven gulch]

Yeah vagaburg with bp is the best combo in the game (fun wise)

[white zodiac]

can also be a scoring source

can also be dl/campfire/vamp/stone joker/steel joker/cat/ticket fuel

can also be a dollar

cartomancer/hallucination can do half of those tbf

[eternal anchor]

gg. I've played 18 pairs, 18 high cards, can't play anything else and can't discard any more

[wintry ice]

yeah but to a much lesser extent

[proven gulch]

why are we playing endless with mystic summit and castle

[wintry ice]

left over from ante 8 gold stake run

[eternal anchor]

I wasn't going to seriously play endless, I wanted to see how far my winning build was going to get. This has always been my philosophy

[white zodiac]

for twice as long

[white zodiac]

my philosophy is to hold r after r23

[eternal anchor]

share to the class what r does

[deep rapids]

reload?

[proven gulch]

it gives all your jokers polychrome

especially on the a8 boss blind

[deep rapids]

retry

you get to retry the last blind to try to get more money

[proven gulch]

(it gives them super-polychrome, 2x mult)

ultra polychrome right before you get naneinf, x20 mult

anti-synergy with Green though

balatro

[proven gulch]

if you don't one shot you'll be fine

[scenic sigil]

it's actually the only good choice here

[proven gulch]

can find supernova later

[lament bronze]

pays off 3 dollars and a card removal, allowing you to trim out the stuff that wont onetap

Green is bad as it is but its not that big a deal when you get 3 times the value monetarily alone and not accounting for the real power of the jonkler

[proven gulch]

grimbo bad?

[lament bronze]

my bad I thought it was green deck being mentioned

[proven gulch]

lmao

[eternal anchor]

already took it anyways

[proven gulch]

use it

you can trim for blue seal and find supernova

[lament bronze]

slight underperformance from grimbo but you get half a hung man every single round and cash anyways

thats better than -1 mult from optimal grimbo growth

[shell dagger]

you won’t need grimbo late if you trading card your deck into a 4oak machine

[lament bronze]

eternal grimbo though but yeah

mars is dummy strong just go for it

[eternal anchor]

huh

never tried a 4oak build before. Always found it impractical

[lunar zealot]

Xoak is fine

[eternal anchor]

Guess I'll try to destroy anything but 10's as that's my most common rank in this erratic deck seed

[lunar zealot]

i like 4oak on abandoned and erratic

[hardy fable]

2oak the best fr

you in class now?

[proven gulch]

Without vagabond or something stronger straight fixing is better imo

[lunar zealot]

Just finished

[naive torrent]

I hate playing higher stakes but I still need Erratic deck unlocked. Once I finally am able to grind out purple and orange stakes, I’m sticking to mainly white/black for a loooonnngggg time lol

[eternal anchor]

what should I take here

[lament bronze]

banan

na

[knotty lion]

joker idea:

Mason
Cost: 67$
X6,7 Mult for every played 6's and 7's

[hardy fable]

7 rank will finally get a synergy thats not odd Todd

[lament bronze]

still mad that the same guy who whined about us not pinging mods for the emoji suggestion post actually pinged mods and had them immediately delete the entire year long thread for it

[hardy fable]

I think every rank has atleast 2 synergies with jokers except for 7

[warm plume]

life idea: end it

[eternal anchor]

it caused me to win instantly so I couldn't even scale Green goddammit

[knotty lion]

NO

[lament bronze]

the humble high card:

[simple bronze]

i take blood right?

[eternal anchor]

lmao it already went extinct!

[fervent wolf]

ACTUAL Joker idea:

Browser: Uncommon, $6

This joker gains +6 mult and +15 chips if no money is spent in the shop, earn $3 dollars if no money is spent in the shop

[lament bronze]

supernova can go suck a lemon, grimbo will be enough with cav and deckfixing

[eternal anchor]

that's if I find Cavendish in the first place

[naive torrent]

Go for it but if you don’t get a flat mult joker at the start of Ante2 you probably die

[ocean yoke]

bro why the game want me to play flushes

[proven gulch]

why would you take banan with grimbo tc

ultimate anti synergy

[jagged sail]

guys, I completed my whole collection but i didn't get the completionist achievement on steam.. can someone explain why this is happening? (I had multiplayer mod on when I got 100% completion btw if it has to do with anything)

[uncut moat]

iduno

[solid tapir]

play another run on any stake

any deck

and win

[simple bronze]

mods disable achievements

[solid tapir]

it should fix it

[simple bronze]

unless you have it checked off

[uncut moat]

yo hoho and a bottle of run

[solid tapir]

this is not true

don't give bro a heart attack

[simple bronze]

i mean you can still probably get it by doing another run

just check that setting in the mods

that enables acheivements

[jagged sail]

thank you guys, you're very helpful!!! Have an egg

[white zodiac]

[simple bronze]

depends on the mod

[solid tapir]

if it still doesn't get fixed then you can give yourself the achievement with one of the steam achievement givers @jagged sail

that's what I ended up doing

[jagged sail]

ok

[simple bronze]

oh you are a cheater

[solid tapir]

I still got C+

how is that cheating

[simple bronze]

uh huh

[solid tapir]

not my fault silly bug didn't award me for my hard work

[simple bronze]

using sam is cheating

[jagged sail]

btw, is it crazy to have Illusion as my last voucher discovered?

[solid tapir]

it's cheating if you give yourself achievements you didn't actually get

[uncut moat]

call a cop

[solid tapir]

nah

Illusion is mid asf

don't blame you for not taking magic trick

[uncut moat]

magic trick is actively detrimental and illusion doesnt work

if doing the achievement didnt get you the achievement, i dont regard hacking the achievement as cheating

[uncut moat]

no?

[solid tapir]

[eternal anchor]

I barely made it through 120k at the ante 6 boss

forgot I had blueprint lmao

thanks

[solid tapir]

how does one forget they have the blue boy

🥀

[eternal anchor]

idk!!!

[stiff fjord]

sometimes i forget to switch where blueprint/brainstorm goes for each play

[eternal anchor]

I guess in my case I was too focused on scaling Green

[stiff fjord]

i always forget to have them copy cartomancer for extra tarots

[solid tapir]

I forget to put the copy on vagabond

sometimes

it is frustrating when I realize

[sudden prairie]

Would yall ever make this pivot? Super nova on +39, pairs at lvl 4

feels risky

[solid tapir]

ante 5 ? probably not

you have SN and hit road the

there's no need

[sudden prairie]

Uranus off the priestess ofc

not that that would've made it worth, it's just funny how shit goes lol

[proven gulch]

How fixed is str

arcana and see if you can get a break off justice

[naive torrent]

What vouchers are worth buying in Ante1 versus saving money for interest?

[sudden prairie]

literally not :\

[sudden prairie]

Great call, I skipped the justice 🙁

[eternal anchor]

That's Erratic Deck! 6 decks left to gold stake

[proven gulch]

Fix for it and its actually viable

[solid tapir]

not many

just overstock

maybe director's cut

[proven gulch]

overstock director's cut

[solid tapir]

most of the time I don't get ante 1 voucher

[languid pecan]

Nice, erratic is one of the more annoying ones, doesnt affect pairs too too much tho

[proven gulch]

i like grabber sometimes

[sudden prairie]

Fire sale?

[proven gulch]

i like erratic just hold r

[eternal anchor]

Yeah I've been doing the more annoying ones first. Black, Plasma and Painted are already done

[proven gulch]

masochist

[languid pecan]

if you want to get annoying out of the way do green too

[eternal anchor]

oh yeah green is done too

[languid pecan]

i personally hated green

[sudden prairie]

Same dude

[eternal anchor]

says the guy with c++

[proven gulch]

nuh uh

[sudden prairie]

I did the same tbh

[languid pecan]

yeah thats what i did

[simple bronze]

bloodstone very good

[languid pecan]

black was my second gold stake, cant say i did it with skill tho lol

[eternal anchor]

I've been doing one deck on purple, orange and gold every day. At this rate I'm gonna achieve C+ this week

[jagged sail]

@solid tapir do you know how I can give myself the completionist achievement? Because I tried beating a game, but I didn't get the achievement

[proven gulch]

new account i've done red blue yellow green and im working on black

[solid tapir]

google search "Steam achievement giver"

it should be on github

[simple bronze]

do you have your mods disabled?

[languid pecan]

did you win a run on white stake after getting 100%

[simple bronze]

For those that find this thread late like I did, once you launch Balatro, you should see a "Mods" button in the menu. Click that, go to "Config" and then you can enable achievements from there. I'm not sure what the "Bypass Restrictions" option does, but "Enabled" has worked for me.

[jagged sail]

to answer both of your guys' questions, I had a multiplayer mod on when I got 100% collection

[solid tapir]

multi-player might be fucking with it fr

[jagged sail]

i just now completed a run while the mod was off

[simple bronze]

did you do above!

[jagged sail]

shit, I had achievements disabled

thats probably why

[languid pecan]

yeah idk if you didnt already toggle achievements on prior to enabling multiplayer, so id do what @solid tapir said and get the github thing

[narrow wadi]

blackboard stuntman is pretty cool, makes it guaranteed to pull off every turn even with no deck fixing

[jagged sail]

alright

[narrow wadi]

picked up blackboard very late in my last run cos i had stuntman

[languid pecan]

yeah blackboard is one of the few items that make me not want the handsize voucher

[jagged sail]

fun plasma deck run (ignore the baseball card)

[narrow wadi]

i rerolled for 2 brainstorms in the same shop but honestly didn't actually want it

for standard gold stake high card/ pair builds idt it's even that good

and my build was nuts without it

[eternal anchor]

white stickers are genuinely ugly now. I say as my Turtle Bean is the only joker I still have white sticker

[languid pecan]

brainstorm is usually a 2x on a standard goldstake run

[narrow wadi]

that's an odd joker to have as the last one lol, i pick up turtle bean in the last ante at high stakes a lot

[narrow wadi]

u have to put xmult before ur +mult

unless u only have xmult with some broken build that isn't great

[eternal anchor]

never has showed up on late antes for me. And when it does, I already have a full log

[languid pecan]

i know...

brainstorm the +mult for a x2

[narrow wadi]

ah that's what u meant

it's like a x1.7 for me generally

cos i have a decently levelled up hand

sometimes if i didn't get scaling +mult it's like a x1.4

[eternal anchor]

That's not counting the handful of jokers I haven't stickered at all

[narrow wadi]

on gold stake ante 8 i'll switch my econ joker for some random weird/ niche joker i don't normally use to get a free sticker

a couple days ago i had matador and chicot in my final build lol

probably the worst joker anti synergy possible

[eternal anchor]

Is Trading Card an econ joker?

[languid pecan]

nah theres worse cant think off the top of my head

[narrow wadi]

i'd say so

it's $1 less than golden

with a big upside

[eternal anchor]

Because I was using it to deckfix to nothing but 10's

that's why I couldn't sell it

oh yeah it was eternal lmao

[languid pecan]

yeah trading card is goated

[narrow wadi]

i don't generally like it at eternal but like it might be worth

on gold stake i do pair/ high card/ 2 pair like 85% of the time

[manic talon]

INSANE 3 POLY HIT (tbf i have dice)

[narrow wadi]

so don't need deck fixing as much

[languid pecan]

trading card>golden joker and i typically take eternal golden joker

(early)

[narrow wadi]

i guess ye

[eternal anchor]

I was playing Erratic and I started with 10 as my most common rank so it did sorta call for a 4oak build

[narrow wadi]

trading card also has the baseball card synergy which is always worth noting imo

gives u access to another xmult joker if u have 1 more uncommon

[languid pecan]

i guess

[narrow wadi]

ah on erratic u can generally even go 5oak pretty quickly

[languid pecan]

nah 4oak>5oak

[narrow wadi]

i didn't know this, why is that?

[languid pecan]

you can play more 4oaks

[eternal anchor]

4oak is easier to play yes

[languid pecan]

but typically way less 5oaks

[narrow wadi]

true tbf, what's the base mult differential?

[languid pecan]

also only a few extra chips scaling

[narrow wadi]

not differential

wrong word

difference

[eternal anchor]

Mars scales 30 chips 3 mult, while Planet X scales 35 chips 3 mult. Not a very big margin

[languid pecan]

the main utility of 5oak is higher stats at the start and getting an extra card for an enhancement

[narrow wadi]

oh that's barely different

i kinda assumed it was more

i so rarely go for 5oak i never paid attention rly

[languid pecan]

Nah you go straight from 4oak to flush five and not 5oak

also you typically dont want to unlock 5oak since it clogs up the pool a bit

[narrow wadi]

unless u have satellite i guess lol

[languid pecan]

+1 dollar per round<not seeing planet x when trying to get mars

[sudden prairie]

dead to vessel*

[narrow wadi]

i'm not 100% sure about that, it's 1/8 of the planets right so doesn't matter on most celestial packs

[sudden prairie]

*mismanagement of econ leading to an incapability to fix enough for hit the road

[languid pecan]

you can block planet cards by holding other planet cards to make it extremely likely to get the planet you want

[sudden prairie]

you're gonna waste more money bricking on planet packs than the satellite will make up for

[languid pecan]

but if you add one to the pool it makes it harder

[narrow wadi]

uh that does make sense and i can't be bothered to do the maths lol

[north schooner]

Do dagger and madness proc in joker order?

[languid pecan]

yeah im pretty sure if you put madness after dagger itll die before it destroys anything

im like 95% sure

[narrow wadi]

if you put the 6th sense before dna does it still copy?

i assume no

[eternal anchor]

Dagger destroys Madness before Madness activates, I tried

[narrow wadi]

cos the card is already destroyed

[languid pecan]

i think the way dna works it copies before scoring

and 6th sense destroys after scoring

[north schooner]

You are correct, sir.

[narrow wadi]

ah i forgot about that

[north schooner]

This is a run full of race conditions

[sudden prairie]

pls mean rare

[thick haven]

Walkie talkie underrated

[north schooner]

It still works. Balatro Science!

[narrow wadi]

got supernova round 1 (was between that and credit card in buffoon), but i'm on green deck so now idk whether I use hands to scale high card/ pair

i think probably

[eternal anchor]

I ran out of cards gg

[manic talon]

Update: 41
imagine a bloodstone here

[nova mantle]

riding the bus rn and these tags give me ts 😭

[narrow wadi]

thank you, this is a cool interaction

[north schooner]

Now the next question... Should I sigil with a full serpent hand?

[sudden prairie]

wow the negative tag sure is strong

[north schooner]

Economy tag would never

[eternal anchor]

craziest deck I've worked with

[narrow wadi]

now this is a lot of decisions, trading card is money and deck fixing but like i don't rly need deck fixing with supernova and it's eternal

i'm just gonna go pairs

i think i get it anyway

it's money and upside

[eternal anchor]

I haven't done Nebula 🙃 looks like I know what I'm playing tomorrow

[slow sky]

playing a run with castle and ancient and they've hit the same suit like 5 rounds in a row

[north schooner]

The answer is also yes

So satisfying

Also the club is gonna kill me now

[eternal anchor]

lmao unlocked onyx from that

[manic talon]

that would be impossible with ancient now

[north schooner]

And I haven't unlocked scribble joker on this profile yet. Should have left a discard free

[north schooner]

I think he means castle and ancient hit the same suit

[manic talon]

oh

[north schooner]

Which is a pain because you can't discard for castle

[manic talon]

so like in tandem

[north schooner]

oh, dagger hates clearance sale, huh?

[eternal anchor]

Castle and Ancient synergize until they don't

lol

[sudden prairie]

that run was sorta pulling against itself by design now that I think about it. Hit the road wants me to use my shops to find tarots for deck fixing, but because I went all in on mult jokers, I needed to use my shops to find planets for chips. All of this on top of not having Econ to enable either of these costly and contradictory gameplans. Maybe cavendish was the wrong play, and you just look for Econ to try and commit harder to the hit the road?

hmm

[vocal rose]

yes

[north schooner]

oh no, now that I clubbed half my deck, I'm obligated to take this one now, huh

[vocal rose]

it gives you money

[narrow wadi]

stuntman in shop but i have a faceless joker... obviously i still pick up stuntman cos it's insane chips but i hate losing the money

[vocal rose]

this is an easy take

[narrow wadi]

i know, i took it, it just hurts

[vocal rose]

trading card ante 1 is basically a win

[vocal rose]

you have trading card

[cunning glen]

You need a Soul card, which is found in either Spectral or Tarot packs, it has a 0.3% chance of happening tho

[sudden prairie]

I play on ps4 btw

lmao

[cunning glen]

[simple bronze]

i am almost done with c++ and have only seen 1 lengendary so far

wtf

[sudden prairie]

That's brutal man

I'm like 50% and have gold stickered 4 legendaries

you should complain more

[zinc willow]

Have you unlocked all the decks? Certain decks have a higher chance

[sudden prairie]

like that's really unlucky

[sudden prairie]

WHAT

what do you mean?

you can't just say that

[simple bronze]

i spent several hours just rerollling ante 1 for arcana skip

still no legendary wtff

[valid abyss]

just hold r till you see a mega arcana pack skip, take it, if no soul just hold r again and repeat

its the fastest way

[simple bronze]

6 hours of doing this is a bit unlucky no?

[valid abyss]

no tactic to it really

[valid abyss]

just a tad

means you didnt gamble hard enough

[zinc willow]

I mean, ya got spectral card that can appear in tarot decks for uhhhh shit which deck is it

[valid abyss]

ghost deck

thats "spectral cards can appear in the shop"

[sudden prairie]

you're thinking of ghost deck, but you can't find soul in shop

[valid abyss]

soul can only come from arcana and spectral packs

cant be found in the shop

[eternal anchor]

"hold r" is such a bit in this server that even Discord cannot process the number of results 😭

[sudden prairie]

Just let me perkeo the soul, pls 🙁

[eternal anchor]

||(joke, obviously 💀 the number of results is fucked atm)||

[valid abyss]

i am going to NaN your loved ones

[sudden prairie]

so yall can just hold r and it auto resets ?

[valid abyss]

yeah

starts a new run

[sudden prairie]

that's so cool

[eternal anchor]

this whole time I was pressing r, not HOLDING r

[sudden prairie]

I have to go through the menus with a d pad :\

[valid abyss]

haha STUPID

everyone laugh at this individual

[sudden prairie]

I forgive you 🥰

[eternal anchor]

watch as I try it next time I play Balatro and it still does nothing and I believe the bait

holding p gives you all 5 legendaries and wins the run automatically

trib

[sudden prairie]

dang I was gonna ask yall about the steam achievement percentages, but I guess those numbers are incredibly unreliable bc of mods and achievement giver 🙁

[valid abyss]

brother

why are you relying on blackboard

you have a trib

[silver canopy]

because i want that 3x on top of the 2x

[sudden prairie]

subway sandwich meme

Trib is more than 2x

[valid abyss]

im surprised the game itself didnt join the chat and send a recording of that run and say "dude i fuckin hate this user sometimes"

slash jay

[silver canopy]

no literally

[valid abyss]

thats nothing if you have 5 2x from your trib

[silver canopy]

i only had 1 queen idk ab that one

[valid abyss]

why do you have a TRIB then

[sudden prairie]

2^2^2^2^2 >

[silver canopy]

because blackboard stacking

idk bro i preferred that over anything else

[sudden prairie]

I get it, blackboard is my goat

[valid abyss]

i hate blackboard

[sudden prairie]

but you coulda just fully fixed around face

[sudden prairie]

Really, why ?

[silver canopy]

it was working for like 5-6 antes so

until it didnt

[valid abyss]

i mean its not even THAT hard to add even like 3 new kings or queens from the shop

[silver canopy]

minor problem

this game hates me LOL

[valid abyss]

you had a blackboard. for 6 antes. and still had more than 20 hearts in your deck

[sudden prairie]

is it the two pair effect? Like, supposedly doable, but never when you need it

[eternal anchor]

one queen on your full deck? 💀

[silver canopy]

throughout that entire run i sdidnt get any cryptids or worlds, rarely any deaths and a few hung men

[valid abyss]

is the trib for decoration brother

[silver canopy]

and no kings or queens in standard packs either

[sudden prairie]

trib cosplaying as a seeing double

[silver canopy]

nonono in that hand

[left juniper]

Emotional Support Trib

[valid abyss]

strengths, deaths

literally ANYTHING

[silver canopy]

i also show my deck near the end you can see i have a lot of spades that just didnt get played at all

[sudden prairie]

maam, you're not allowed to ask to see his papers, and yes he can be in here with me 😠

[silver canopy]

like bro

youre telling me none of those spades couldve rolled

[sudden prairie]

me to the spades: slide

[valid abyss]

sure rng is sometimes bad but thats why the SHOP exists

[silver canopy]

YEA BRO WDY THINK I WAS TRYNA GET

[valid abyss]

let me reiterate

is the trib for DECORATION

[silver canopy]

no???????

[valid abyss]

oh just gonna put a disclaimer

[silver canopy]

if it was chicot sure but no

[valid abyss]

this is by no way shape or form an argument

[sudden prairie]
