[unreal island]

ummm uhhh

im getting my flush five degree from balatro university

yerp!

[alpine basalt]

hey this is relevant

[manic talon]

Didnt even take the pair degree, dead degree tbh

[unreal island]

studying about jimbos on a blackboard while drinking my diet cola and writing my to do list

[alpine basalt]

man to-do list is on my hate list of jokers

because WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HIT STRAIGHT FLUSH

[unreal island]

to-do list is like diet matador

[nova mantle]

first sticker ive gotten ever for turtle bean and its black stake

[cloud sinew]

it doesnt! :3

it actually can't always hit straight flush, hope this helps /t

[alpine basalt]

I no joke had a run earlier where it hit hands that I was never playing like four times in a row

[shell current]

If to do list was like matador you would get the two-pair money for playing four of a kind

[nova mantle]

coz you have played straight flush earlier
afaik, it can only choose hands you already played before

[manic talon]

Matador if it was designed correctly

[alpine basalt]

this is def false lmao

or is it?

[cloud sinew]

this is only true for secret hands

it can pick any of the base 9 hands

[unreal island]

guys what if matador disabled boss blinds and was legendary i think tht would be cool

[nova mantle]

it cant choose 5oak for example

[cloud sinew]

thats only true for secret hands

[nova mantle]

but maybe it can choose straight flush since you have the needed cards from the beggining

[minor portal]

had to hit the road because apparently performing seance in class to get better grades was faceless of me

[manic talon]

What if matador gives 1 dollar per end of round and increases by 2 per boss defeated

[nova mantle]

maybe it only happens with stuff like 5oak, flush house or flush five

[cloud sinew]

it does only happen with those

[minor portal]

you might be on to something

[unreal island]

should've gotten a fortune teller to tell you that, now you're looking at constellations since you didnt allow yourself delayed gratification

[alpine basalt]

she delay on my discard till I gratification

[unreal island]

photochad

[oblique kindle]

who up hallowing their weenies

[nova mantle]

mannn i HATE blue stake its miserable when i get to that one in gold staking a deck

[unreal island]

controversial opinion, i think runs that are scraping by are more fun than runs that are dominating

[manic talon]

What if matador gives X3 mult at the final hand, because youre basically taunting death at the last hand

[cloud sinew]

it do be weenie day

[alpine basalt]

depends on my mood tbh

[cloud sinew]

i agree

[pale grotto]

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[unreal island]

"bro why did i get five levels for discarding my pair"

[alpine basalt]

had a run 2 days ago that I didn't change my jokers past ante 3, and it was a grouping of jokers I did NOT expect ot scale fast enough to beat ante 8

[manic talon]

It feels good when you win but not when youre in said run

[unreal island]

typecast challenge

[nova mantle]

getting 1000 points over the 400k of the round js feels different man

[cloud sinew]

i'm gonna find a way to lose this

[alpine basalt]

technically i'm lying and I added one joker past ante 3 but it was useless and I only took it cause nat neg for sticker

[unreal island]

goodbye riff raff!

[cloud sinew]

ya

[manic talon]

Cerulean bell zero discard forced face card with no ace or pair other than the faces

[shell current]

Make sure you brought your silica gel packets

To keep out the water

[manic talon]

Honestly thats it for the only way you lose

[nova mantle]

i js got obby lisk what hand should i play to pivot

as to, the hand i will play a lot to accumulate it

[acoustic kettle]

Paris

[shell current]

Pair, 2-pair… maybe flush

Never high card

[nova mantle]

yeah i love france ❤️‍🩹

[nova mantle]

ive learned that lesson ever since i reset my obelisk at the last ante one time

[cloud sinew]

im considering pivoting out of obelisk

I have 3 blue seals and level 8 pairs by a4

[shell current]

And obv it’t not literally never but if you get the choice

[cloud sinew]

what

[shell current]

Re: never high card

[shell current]

The thing about 3 blue seals is that they could level anything and you have not yet forsaken the chips joker

[cloud sinew]

+60 isnt doing much for me relative to the +145 from my pair level

and thats just at the start of ante 5

[alpine basalt]

well well well

[stiff fjord]

this + swashbuckler would go crazy

[alpine basalt]

now this is tempting

[vernal bay]

Drake, where are the tarots?

[vernal bay]

Boccher...

[cloud sinew]

directors cut a6, boss id Mouth, and level 20 pairs
i think dropping obelisk was fine

[vernal bay]

This run would've won btw...

[alpine basalt]

we love the high level pair build

[cloud sinew]

this is 826KB

[shell current]

Is this mobile? Anecdotally packs are particularly buggy on mobile

[vernal bay]

Laptop!

[cloud sinew]

packs aren't more buggy on mobile than on other platforms

[alpine basalt]

the ceremonial dagger yearns for the uncommon jokers

(I hit 2 in a row from judgement cards)

[cloud sinew]

even a perishable satellite can put in work, like... people really underrate satellite

[night turret]

Y’all think I got a shot at getting to ante 12?

Why do I see Drake and Josh

[alpine basalt]

you got a shot if you get yo money up not yo funny up

[cloud sinew]

not with the current build

[vernal bay]

Thank you balatro gods

Or John Balatro

[shell current]

If your deck is 55 red seal glass kings

[alpine basalt]

yeah even steven odd todd combo is pretty bad ngl

[night turret]

What jokers do you need to get to ante twelves

[alpine basalt]

not odd todd even steven for sure

i'd probably try and get photochad

[cloud sinew]

steven/todd won't cut it really, you need xmult to replace them

[shell current]

Wait round 7 what da hell

[cloud sinew]

what the hell...

[eternal anchor]

bro put it all on Throwback lol

[shell current]

Gotta be a blueprint angle ig

[night turret]

And it was a success

[night turret]

Nah I just love throwback

[eternal anchor]

Nice

[night turret]

I’ll sacrifice them next time around

[eternal anchor]

absolute minimum number of rounds to win

[night turret]

Is it? I swear I’ve won in 7 before

But that was only on black stake

[lunar zealot]

Technically like

4

[eternal anchor]

Only way to win in 7 is to somehow skip an ante or boss

[cloud sinew]

how

[lunar zealot]

with that one seed with double bones + merry andy

[night turret]

Oh yeah I did use bones

[alpine basalt]

think i oughta do it?

[minor portal]

Pair slop. Yummers.

[night turret]

Since it doesn’t count for a round

[alpine basalt]

I get hella money rn

[cloud sinew]

it's not just bones you need, it's a specific bug you'd need to do

[night turret]

How much money ya rolling with

[lunar zealot]

Does it count? eh not really

[cloud sinew]

with double Mr Bones and decking out

[lunar zealot]

But for the purpose of winning the argument i say it counts

[alpine basalt]

green deck, no interest, I 1 hand every round with no discards

[night turret]

Hmmmm

[cloud sinew]

the technical limit is 1

[night turret]

I say no

[lunar zealot]

If you find a seed that allows for that yes

[night turret]

Okay

[cloud sinew]

which is what the technical limit is

[night turret]

In unseeded/ no bugs

[lunar zealot]

i think how that specific seed goes is beat ante 1 and in the first shop of ante 2 there is double bones and andrew

[night turret]

What would be the absolute minimum

To win

[lunar zealot]

So i guess we should get to seed scouting

[cloud sinew]

unseeded/no bugs, 8

[shell current]

Unlikely for it to catch up to dagger, probably better to keep the slot open for econ and xmult

[night turret]

Thank you

[alpine basalt]

ah I should probably clarify on money, about 1/4 of my deck is gold at this point

[lunar zealot]

All that work and throwback is only 4x

[night turret]

Okay maybe?

[night turret]

Wrong, 5x

[cloud sinew]

5x minimum, could be 6x

[lunar zealot]

Oops

[cloud sinew]

omg sly /j

[eternal anchor]

yeah if you don't skip any blinds and you have Throwback your score will be 0

[cloud sinew]

bus isnt even 2x my base mult anymore, it's +56 when my base pair mult is 38

[cloud sinew]

you can never score 0 :P

[proven gulch]

black deck gs in like 7 games not counting ante 1-2 resets... and i used photochad 💀

[vernal bay]

should I take burnt joker here? Basically everything is lvl one

[shell current]

My credit card boots build:

[proven gulch]

im shit at the game apparently

[cloud sinew]

it doesnt go negative, it just displays as negative on the joker

[night turret]

@cloud sinew

[cloud sinew]

thanks

[vernal bay]

Strongest throwback run

[cloud sinew]

the elusive Mr. Bones:

[shell current]

Thunk pls fix in 1.1

[cloud sinew]

was already fixed to not give negative score

[proven gulch]

no! never skip blinds! throwback sucks!

[alpine basalt]

flashcard outscaled dagger in 4 rounds lmao

[cloud sinew]

i wouldnt lose 20 rounds of scaling/econ/shops for a 6x

[eternal anchor]

my humble Throwback giving x1.25 because I usually skip ante 1 small blind if the tag benefits my econ:

[night turret]

Somehow got me to ante 11

I wanna get to ante 12 with it one day

[proven gulch]

🙄

[alpine basalt]

real, we love the after defeating boss blind gain 25$

[proven gulch]

just get photochad out of a joker skip

[night turret]

Doesn’t that only affect face cards

[alpine basalt]

I also occasionally (when its really late at night and i'm lowkey tired of minmaxxing) will skip ante 1 sb for arcana packs to gamble that round 1 leg joker

[proven gulch]

what a downside

[shell current]

The theoretical limit for throwback is x9.49219

Wait actually…

[night turret]

Damn, only ante 10

Better luck next time

[cloud sinew]

actual limit is 21.5x

[night turret]

That campfire was cash tho

[ivory reef]

Any way I can win this?

[shell current]

It’s polychrome and you have 4 baseball cards

[cloud sinew]

not at this point unless you have non-face glass cards in deck

[cloud sinew]

the theoretical limit there is infinite because of tarot looping

[ivory reef]

Fuck

[night turret]

Bro really put it all on black and it went onto the green

[alpine basalt]

rip a sigle steel card and bro couldve been fine

well he can maybe make it

[cloud sinew]

tanks mr bones :3

[alpine basalt]

bp copies nova and he plays pair

[cloud sinew]

:P

ended at pair lvl 50, bus at +72

xmult-less gold stake my beloved

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[spiral cairn]

balala

more like

balls

[cloud sinew]

ya

[balmy ridge]

sigh...

[spiral cairn]

people actually play pairs?

[cloud sinew]

what the fuck

[cloud sinew]

yes. it's the gold stake meta /gen

[balmy ridge]

nah worst hand

[cloud sinew]

WHAT THE FUCK

[spiral cairn]

lmao

[alpine basalt]

rip cant afford it

[cloud sinew]

CREDIT CARD IN THE BUFFOON PACK

[alpine basalt]

WHAT THE FUCK

[spiral cairn]

OAAH

[cloud sinew]

ITS SO NOT OVER

[alpine basalt]

bro hit the jackpot

[spiral cairn]

cook

[cloud sinew]

im taking space joker for the levels

ill sell it before the end of the round

[spiral cairn]

good boy

[cloud sinew]

not a boy

[manic zealot]

literally the best possible moment you could have with credit card

[spiral cairn]

same thing bro

[manic zealot]

please tell me you're also taking the riff raff

[spiral cairn]

what did zodiac deck do again

[cloud sinew]

yes, i took the riff raff

[manic zealot]

thank god

[cloud sinew]

start with overstock, planet merchant and tarot merchant

[serene forge]

that was the entire point i think

[manic zealot]

just making sure

[alpine basalt]

excellent timing, temperance.

[balmy ridge]

UKB1S86K this seed was crazy. a1 small skip trib into early chad + sock, idol after ante 8

[spiral cairn]

oh htats cool

[manic zealot]

wow epic

[serene forge]

remove planet merchant from the game

[spiral cairn]

its good

[alpine basalt]

noooooooo my constellation runs :(

[balmy ridge]

remove bloodstone from the game

[spiral cairn]

i like plant merchent

[manic zealot]

but gambling tho

[cloud sinew]

guaranteed to one-shot, so i sold space
also i bought handy because of the econ after taking credit card

delgrat is huge here too

[minor portal]

remove scoring from the game

[cloud sinew]

this is an insane start

[balmy ridge]

remove cards from the game

[serene forge]

it's often worse than nothing...

[signal frigate]

In debt simulator

[minor portal]

worse than magic trick

?

[balmy ridge]

me thinks its ok if you have good jokers and dont need to replace any

[cloud sinew]

you were saying

[serene forge]

maybe

[balmy ridge]

and if you have tarot merchant too then its similar

[signal frigate]

Riff raff my beloved

[balmy ridge]

also dont poop on magic trick its insane with hologram

[serene forge]

planets get worse the more of them you use

[minor portal]

riff raff top ten econ jokers

[balmy ridge]

i guess thats kinda it though

[serene forge]

you don't need that many planets

[signal frigate]

You could just get jokers that gives you cards man

[cloud sinew]

<3

[balmy ridge]

chat is this real?

[spiral cairn]

i like it

[proven gulch]

yooo im done with all the solid color decks :)

[serene forge]

its only use case is constellation unlike tarot merchant which can lead to a fixed deck significantly faster

[spiral cairn]

it always comes in clutch

[balmy ridge]

overscoring likely

[signal frigate]

It's more like the longer the game goes, the worse they get

[proven gulch]

diminishing returns

[balmy ridge]

oh ok

yeah obviously

[signal frigate]

You get diminishing returns the longer the antes go

[balmy ridge]

but they give the same amount

[cosmic sun]

Devious + The Order stickers

[cloud sinew]

it's not uncommon to overscore early

[serene forge]

yeah so flooding your shop with planets is not a good idea usually

[signal frigate]

Unless you have Constellation

[proven gulch]

?

[signal frigate]

Which is probably one of the best xmult joker in the game

[cloud sinew]

the relative increase in scoring is worse the more planets you use

[minor portal]

Joker merchant - jokers appear in shop more often

[signal frigate]

I'm glad someone is better at explaining than me

[proven gulch]

I know this, but what he said is that it was based on time instead

[cloud sinew]

wouldnt change much. jokers already appear 20/28 of the time at base

[cloud sinew]

that was poorly worded then

[signal frigate]

Yeah it was

[minor portal]

tarot cards begone

[serene forge]

I hate Flush

[cosmic sun]

last sticker I saved a fun one

[signal frigate]

Your toilet must stink

[cloud sinew]

theyre already fairly uncommon relative to jokers, a voucher for that would change very little

[alpine basalt]

why must I get bps when I really don't care to get bps

[balmy ridge]

blud is roddy james from flushed away

[proven gulch]

Sounds really bad + pollutes vouchers with more junk

[cloud sinew]

why dont you swap egg out

[balmy ridge]

(he gets flushed down a toilet and suffers)

thats the whole point of the movie

[proven gulch]

why are we complaining, just win more

[alpine basalt]

i'd sell the egg for bp except then I don't get 50$ temp anymore

[balmy ridge]

god i love that movie

[cloud sinew]

omg hi luchador

[proven gulch]

you'll survive

[cloud sinew]

you dont need $50 temp anymore because you win... it's ante 7

[minor portal]

when was it ever stated to be a good idea

[alpine basalt]

oh this run is already won

[manic zealot]

you'll still get a ton of money that egg is worth a lot if you have temperance up to 50

[cosmic sun]

fuel JJ

with the egg money

[eternal anchor]

Which deck should I gold stake next? Out of red, yellow, abandoned or magic, pick the most annoying one

[vernal bay]

Ez Pz

[cloud sinew]

abandoned [least annoying]

[vernal bay]

Gold's the easiest

[serene forge]

hey levy what is two pair's base mult

[signal frigate]

None of them are really annoying actually

[signal frigate]

All 3 are fun decks

[cloud sinew]

gold isn't a deck /teasing

[eternal anchor]

4

[vernal bay]

[signal frigate]

Abandoned might be a good one

[manic zealot]

I guess red because it's a bit boring

[signal frigate]

I didn't see all of it

[alpine basalt]

magic is the most annoying?

[proven gulch]

should i do challenges or start the non-color decks

finally got the 5/5 wins

[cloud sinew]

i would say that red is the most annoying out of those

[alpine basalt]

though I personally like magic, easy deck fixing if you find hanged man

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[signal frigate]

I like Magic alot

[alpine basalt]

maybe I got lucky, but I literally streaked all my stake clears for red

[signal frigate]

Red is great though

[alpine basalt]

it was not annoying at all

[signal frigate]

I don't see the remaining decks as annoying, you saved some of my favorites for last

[vernal bay]

Saturn's about to dethrone Jupiter

[cloud sinew]

"the most annoying" doesnt mean it is annoying. it's relative.

[alpine basalt]

saturn? earth.

[minor portal]

pluto.

[eternal anchor]

Honest to god I haven't found a situation in which I'd greatly benefit from red's extra discard besides playing on blue stake
Guess I'll do it next then

[signal frigate]

I know, I just never found those 4 as such so I don't even consider them annoying at all

[vernal bay]

Earth is too high

[alpine basalt]

ik, its from when I was pretty new to the game

[cloud sinew]

mercury is FAR too low holy

[signal frigate]

You're getting cucked by Blue anyways yeah

[proven gulch]

Okay hear me out

[proven gulch]

What's 1-(3/4)^3

[signal frigate]

I'd get that gold card instead

[alpine basalt]

would you believe me if I told you mercury was not even on this list yesterday?

[proven gulch]

You're boring

[cloud sinew]

~57.8%

[vernal bay]

37/64

[signal frigate]

Yes I am

You're gonna regret losing those fools on 2 hermits

I play the worse version of gambling

[cloud sinew]

hi blackboard

bye riff

[vernal bay]

Holy cloud nine

[signal frigate]

Greeny and Blackboard is just a win

[alpine basalt]

are you serious? right after I debated on whether or not to pick up bp?

[cloud sinew]

also i only have 17 red cards in my deck

[signal frigate]

You probably don't need that Stuntman anymore

[cloud sinew]

its unlikely that brainstorm is better than stuntman here

[alpine basalt]

its not

(I did the math)

[signal frigate]

I assumed their constellation is high enough

But yeah, I can see that now

[alpine basalt]

the constellation would not be getting copied

[signal frigate]

Maybe just replace blueprint cuz funny

[alpine basalt]

it would be the flashcard

[signal frigate]

That does have an edition

[alpine basalt]

and throw?

[signal frigate]

That's funny.

[cloud sinew]

winning is more fun though

[signal frigate]

Go next, the most unflattering brainstorm

[alpine basalt]

kill bp and go from 5x mult to <2x mult (copying flashcard)

[signal frigate]

That's why I said it's funny since it's not the optimal play

[cloud sinew]

bye green joker [groker is +11, red card is +21]

keeping delgrat for the foil

[signal frigate]

Man

[alpine basalt]

noooooo grimbo

[signal frigate]

Grimbo my beloved, outdone by cringe card

[manic zealot]

ngl this is kind of a wild start

I'm spamming pairs

[alpine basalt]

wait but why grimbo when grat is right there?

[cloud sinew]

i just said why

"for the foil"

[signal frigate]

Foil is foil

But I'd probably find another chip joker

[cloud sinew]

+50 is more impactful than +11 here

[alpine basalt]

ah i'm blind

[signal frigate]

If I'm you in this scenario

[cloud sinew]

if youre me then you wouldnt make that decision

[signal frigate]

I have preferences

Yes

That probably gets me killed in most of my runs

[cloud sinew]

exactly

[sullen tapir]

[shell current]

Shiny joker central

[cloud sinew]

bye delgrat

[signal frigate]

If only it appeared before Greeny was sold

[vernal bay]

Holy deckfixing

[signal frigate]

That's chips

[cloud sinew]

i probably wouldve still dropped green joker

[signal frigate]

I know

[proven gulch]

splash pareidolia midas

[alpine basalt]

easy win

[cloud sinew]

3 jokers for econ <3

[proven gulch]

white stake

i sold blueprint for card sharp

[cloud sinew]

worlds most tempting blue joker

but i shalln't

[shell current]

Burnt is so goated

[manic zealot]

frfr

I just had 2 on my last run early game

[alpine basalt]

oh boy.

[shell current]

One of like 5 rares I’m taking in the ante 1 buffoon pack over a holo golden joker

[cloud sinew]

i would not

[shell current]

Ok not on black deck

[cloud sinew]

i wouldnt on any deck

[alpine basalt]

wow I sure do love getting seed money

[minor portal]

delayed gratification is such a great econ joker

[cloud sinew]

white stake, merry andy...
yeah! delgrat is awesome! [in this specific scenario]

[floral field]

havent played in like a year but somehow made it past ante 8

[manic zealot]

with merry andy... yes

[minor portal]

well, that would be two out of the five

[alpine basalt]

yknow runner might be one of my top 5 fav jokers

[lunar zealot]

Meow meow meow

[terse gyro]

so close

[cloud sinew]

hi luchador :3

a7 as well so i dont need to worry about needle creeping up on me

[lunar zealot]

save it for vv 😈

[alpine basalt]

take it or leave a slot open for another xmult?

[cloud sinew]

i beat VV, i don't beat Eye

[alpine basalt]

i'm leaning towards taking it, xmult can rep gold

[cloud sinew]

what's green joker at

[alpine basalt]

grimbo is at 12

[lunar zealot]

on ante 4?

[alpine basalt]

yep

haven't been discarding either, just one-shotting unfortunately

[lunar zealot]

Bro put your ramen to the left

[alpine basalt]

good point

[lunar zealot]

Scaling 101

[alpine basalt]

rarely do I play a grimbo build

[lunar zealot]

You just play it like you play bus

[alpine basalt]

rarely do I play a bus build either lmao

[lunar zealot]

You just play it like you play pants

[alpine basalt]

only started doing those the other day

[cloud sinew]

improvement <3

[alpine basalt]

you're gonna wanna sit down when I tell you this

[subtle loom]

btw crimson is rigged

[lunar zealot]

Oh my god bruh

[cloud sinew]

nuh uh

[alpine basalt]

welp

glad I didn't take it

[lunar zealot]

Chat i dont mean to make yall jealous but my kuromi plushie is so cute

[alpine basalt]

bp back to back is insane luck lmao

[subtle loom]

explain why it hitted my madness twice killing my run

[lunar zealot]

how many jokers did you have

[cloud sinew]

unless you had 1 or 2 jokers, it was just down to chance.

[subtle loom]

i have 5

[lunar zealot]

madness should never be your only source of scoring anyway

high xmult or not you will die to crimson heart or violet vessel

[subtle loom]

i have super nova and

blackboard

[cloud sinew]

bye burnt :3

[lunar zealot]

hoooly

andy + rebate too

[cloud sinew]

only took it for the xmult

[terse gyro]

that actually goes hard

[lunar zealot]

you could reroll for like a campfire if you need emergency scoring in case violet vessel is x8 now for some reason

even though you already beat it

[cloud sinew]

i have dcut, also its leaf

[lunar zealot]

Reroll for vessel

[cloud sinew]

i would've 2-3 shot vessel

[lunar zealot]

poggerino

[cloud sinew]

zodiac streak of 2 <3

[lunar zealot]

I need to do magic streaks ngl

and painted

[serene forge]

???????

[lunar zealot]

What the deucr

what the fuck am i looking at

[fluid wedge]

Gold stake completed lets go

I apologize, wee joker
I was unfamiliar with your game

[alpine basalt]

seeing double is just the play here for golden, and then I just win right? scoring 46k on the final hand rn

[alpine basalt]

we lover wee joker

[alpine basalt]

tf is his deck, lucky red seal kings?

[cloud sinew]

one-shotting the big blind 😎

okay theres a foil rental eternal shoot the moon in the shop...

2 rentals is a little rough though

[alpine basalt]

econ dies buttttttttt

[cloud sinew]

im just taking the foil stm

[slow iris]

[alpine basalt]

gg run

[cloud sinew]

??? i swear this is the earliest ive EVER had tooth

im sure i have, but i cant remember a single time ive had a3 tooth before

[manic zealot]

this just happened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xHqe4o8GQI

[cloud sinew]

[alpine basalt]

the verdant leaf:

[cloud sinew]

i have 2 flexible slots rn

[alpine basalt]

holy, what a wheel

[cloud sinew]

Plant a5, im gonna drop fist for burnt here and just reroll Plant

[alpine basalt]

not the straight flush draw lmao

[cloud sinew]

okay bye chaos

[alpine basalt]

debuffed :(

[cloud sinew]

3 rentals? :3 seed money can sustain it

[alpine basalt]

or you just gonna skip

[cloud sinew]

doesnt matter, 5 rounds of double burnt and double space is worth it

[alpine basalt]

ah

[vernal bay]

Not today satan

[alpine basalt]

bro has THE build

[fringe holly]

This is messed up lol. I am on my first round shop. Got a joker pack and these are my two options. These are both of like my favorite Jokers I don't know which one to choose

[cloud sinew]

i would take chad

[alpine basalt]

holo

lilo is more qualified than I am

[cloud sinew]

chad actually does something for you early

[vernal bay]

Icant

[fringe holly]

Chad is also good late game

But they both are good late game also

[alpine basalt]

bye splash?

[vernal bay]

No lmao, it's supernova

[cloud sinew]

yeah supernova goes here

which is funny

magic trick my beloved

[vernal bay]

Should I go fatter cat for the lols or copy cat like I should

[cloud sinew]

holy shit my optimisation paid off

i JUST sold brainstorm before going into the shop

this is why im goated

[alpine basalt]

sold him and he came back stronger

[cloud sinew]

non-rental and foil 😭

[vernal bay]

This is why we take an unoptimised ectoplasm

[cloud sinew]

vessel? not a problem

[vernal bay]

EZ PZ

[cloud sinew]

not only do i have dcut (not gonna use it) but i also have an x6 hologram and level 39 pairs :3

gato

[spiral cairn]

why not sell water

splash*

[vernal bay]

Because it's much more flexible on a bad draw and allows me to play lucky cards while discarding them

And supernova is doing nothing

[cloud sinew]

cat's at 1x still lol

zodiac streak of 3

level 43 pair, 6.5x hologram

[vernal bay]

Dude my weenis

8 two's???

[cloud sinew]

:3

im gonna take a break

[alpine basalt]

uh oh. I might be in trouble.

[alpine basalt]

ah. modded

was gonna ask how the hell you got that much money

then I saw highest ante 62

[shell current]

Those are totally vanilla obtainable

[scenic ice]

feels good man

[vernal bay]

I think it could be possible with the perkeo-emperor loop

[alpine basalt]

the what?

[cloud sinew]

nope

[cloud sinew]

double Mr Bones ante skip bug

[cloud sinew]

crimson handsize bug

[vernal bay]

AH!

THat makes sense

Can I just say won run?

[cloud sinew]

WR is 340m without tarot looping, $249,941 is nothing in the grand scheme of things

[vernal bay]

That sounds so fucking painful to do

Isn't the hardcap e17 anyways?

[cloud sinew]

the technical limit for normal +$ is ~e17, yes

because of precision loss

[vernal bay]

Yeah

Read about that today on teh sub

Can't believe that place taught me something

lmao

[fringe holly]

I've never been able to get this kind of a score since this one time. Really takes a lot of luck to get the exact things you need

[cloud sinew]

its just like anywhere else on the internet, if you treat everyone as if they could be lying and just fact check things then it's fine

[vernal bay]

No I meant that the sub has no idea what is or isn't a good joker

[cloud sinew]

i find it so funny when people say "why would i lie", as if some people don't just lie for fun on the internet

[alpine basalt]

oh just ask ai abhout balatro, urely it has the greatest knowledge!

[cloud sinew]

surely!

[vernal bay]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SEED?

[cloud sinew]

triboulet incoming

[orchid comet]

hello

[orchid comet]

I curse u with chicot

[vernal bay]

Hi Yorick

[cloud sinew]

chicot would be ideal here

[mortal aurora]

how about I just get a lot of mult real quick

[orchid comet]

I just discovered black stake

[orchid comet]

really?

[cloud sinew]

yes; this build basically only dies to boss blinds, not scoring requirements

[orchid comet]

I see

[mortal aurora]

wait what

can't post gifs?

[cloud sinew]

to prevent spam

[orchid comet]

can't send links so yeah

[mortal aurora]

fair

[cloud sinew]

you can send links

just not embeds iirc

[orchid comet]

kind of confusing

images and links are allowed but not embeds

[mortal aurora]

yeah

[cloud sinew]

to prevent gif spam.
it was a problem

[vernal bay]

Obelisk you missed the bus

[orchid comet]

got this just now :D

idk what I should unlock next

[vernal bay]

Good job!

[orchid comet]

what's plasma deck after

is it black stake

[cloud sinew]

||Brainstorm|| if you havent; "Discard a Royal Flush"

[alpine basalt]

I love you chatgpt

[orchid comet]

I have

[fringe holly]

Why is there a joker for replay all face cards, And then another joke or to where the buff gets reset if you play a face card.

[cloud sinew]

ya im gonna take both of these :3

[fringe holly]

Is there some strat that I don't know about

[cloud sinew]

because not all jokers are synergistic

[vernal bay]

Me when chips

yummy

[orchid comet]

some I have left are score 100m, play 4 7 of clubs, earn 400$, get 30 or something heart cards

and a few more that I don't remember off the top

[vernal bay]

It's a holdover from when I had just grimbo and RTB

[olive escarp]

Get the hearts one

[cloud sinew]

it all works out in the end

[olive escarp]

It’s pretty strong

[orchid comet]

alright

lemme go do that then

[olive escarp]

Gl!

[orchid comet]

thank you

[olive escarp]

Ofc

[alpine basalt]

damn its wayy too late

I have class in 7 hours

[shell current]

You can do 3 of those in the same hand

[olive escarp]

Real

I have to be on hte bus in 4 hours

[alpine basalt]

balatro is too good at making time go by

[cloud sinew]

bloodstone is not "pretty strong" at all. it's the worst of the gem jokers
it's like C- tier

[olive escarp]

Really?

[alpine basalt]

but I am now halfway to C+ (Istarted this game this semester because I have far too much time in the business class I have to take for my minor)

[vernal bay]

Do the math

[olive escarp]

Isn’t it like 1.5x mult every hearts played?

[cloud sinew]

1/2

[olive escarp]

That’s seems good

[vernal bay]

Without retriggers how much mult is a heart flush?

[cloud sinew]

1.25^5 on average

[cloud sinew]

it being chance based is what makes it bad

[olive escarp]

What he said

Or she

[cloud sinew]

that one

[olive escarp]

OHHHH

IM SLOW

[hollow birch]

If I discard a disabled club bc of boss blind, will trading card still work, or do I need to do a non-club?

[cloud sinew]

trading card still works

[shell current]

Bloodstone is a 1x when it matters most

[olive escarp]

Coolio

[vernal bay]

really? that seems off

[olive escarp]

Real

[vernal bay]

But you know math better than me

[balmy ridge]

negative chico looks so stinky 😭

[frank crescent]

This is a ridiculous build why did I do this

[spiral cairn]

its black

[olive escarp]

Yea but she seems smarter than me so I’m not gonna question anything

[spiral cairn]

he looks like that one

[vernal bay]

[alpine basalt]

think of it as (1+.5/2)^n, n is num of cards played

[frank crescent]

Thank god

[olive escarp]

Bumbers

Not coolio

[alpine basalt]

5 eternals is crazy work

[hollow birch]

what do you do here without any seals taken yet? no jokers that are relevant and barely any deck fixing done?

[alpine basalt]

proabbly the purp seal king

unless you are going for lategame

in which case probably the red seal

[hollow birch]

im just doing ante 8's trying to get through the stakes i haven't completed yet

[alpine basalt]

the the purp seal king is what i'd do

[cloud sinew]

there are 2 possibilities; 1.5x or 1x
1.5x has a 1/2, so that's 0.75 on average
1x has a 1/2, so thats 0.5 on average
0.5+0.75 = 1.25, so it's 1.25 per score on average (expected value)

[frank crescent]

I am in hell please help me

[alpine basalt]

this has to be a gs run for the stickers right? right?

[frank crescent]

Blue

[alpine basalt]

and you took eternal showman? 😭

[cloud sinew]

i take the jack

[frank crescent]

IDK MAN

I wanted a second ancient

I didn't think I'd immediately get invisible joker

[alpine basalt]

wow

I can't believe i'm saying this but I think you take it

[cloud sinew]

taking showman is almost always suboptimal, but taking an eternal showman even more so

hi gram, bye oops

[vernal bay]

I CANNOT

[alpine basalt]

and the mega in the same shop as gram too

damn

shame its black and not gold stake

[vernal bay]

They call me nostradamus

[cloud sinew]

i ruined it i ruined it i ruined it

[alpine basalt]

welp, i'd send that run into endless

[vernal bay]

I never go endless

[cloud sinew]

i underscore by 10

i greeded too hard

[alpine basalt]

rip

hate to see it

[vernal bay]

I'll send the seed soon

[cloud sinew]

0.3% underscoring lost me the run

[cloud sinew]

its so joever

[olive escarp]

Wowee

[cloud sinew]

+1 to my chips wouldve won that btw

[alpine basalt]

I had a gs run that had 7 unstickered jokers that I lost to underscoring final by 20 chips, I nearly broke something

[olive escarp]

U made dc account on day after my birthday

[vernal bay]

[cloud sinew]

streak of 3 down

you live and you learn

[olive escarp]

Negative tags

[frank crescent]

NO

[alpine basalt]

its not a gs run

[frank crescent]

THAT PIRATE WAS A NAT NEGATIVE

[vernal bay]

well hello there

[frank crescent]

ISTG

[olive escarp]

The solution to all your problems

[frank crescent]

Oh lol

[olive escarp]

But it dosent have to be

[frank crescent]

I mean i could probably win with this tbh

[olive escarp]

So negative tags

[cloud sinew]

dont lose this against a suit boss...
you can avoid suit bosses with AJ by skipping at the right moment

[olive escarp]

Skipping?

Like

[alpine basalt]

it'd be pretty hard for you to lose

[olive escarp]

Skipping for a negative tag?

Which they should do?

[alpine basalt]

thats pretty much the only way yeah

[frank crescent]

I got the window as my next boss oh shit

[cloud sinew]

youre fine

do you know how to avoid suit bosses with AJ?

[cloud sinew]

guaranteed btw

[frank crescent]

Nuh uh

[cloud sinew]

okay so

Ancient Joker can't hit the same suit twice in a row

[vernal bay]

Well cya baseball card

[cloud sinew]

so because youre against The Window that means if it's diamonds in the small blind, it can't be diamonds next round, so you skip once so that it's guaranteed not diamonds against The Window

[olive escarp]

Try a negative tag

It might work

[cloud sinew]

so what's AJ on now

[frank crescent]

Spade

[cloud sinew]

you can play the small blind as normal

[shell current]

Median roffle chatter

[olive escarp]

Uhh

[cloud sinew]

what AJ picks next is important, right now you can just play normally

[olive escarp]

Yea me too

Big words

Yeah totally

[cloud sinew]

[frank crescent]

Yea

[cloud sinew]

skip the big blind then

if you played the big blind you'd be rolling a 1/3 that you just die

[orchid comet]

why do I have FOUR BLOODSTONES

[frank crescent]

Ty Lilo appreciate it

[cloud sinew]

1.25^20 be damned

[orchid comet]

I was playing some Smash Bros. Brawl after getting it working on my homebrewed Wii, and I just unlocked Captain Falcon. In his unlock match, he walked off-stage and SD'd less than 10 seconds in.

[vernal bay]

EZ PZ

[olive escarp]

Wrong server 🙏

[orchid comet]

I lost cuz I couldn't draw a flush 💔

and 1st hand was unlucky

[spiral cairn]

diddy

high card would work too

[lunar zealot]

WHAT THE FUCK

JUDGEMENT INTO FIBO BURNT

[spiral cairn]

bagaha

[lunar zealot]

NAT NEGATIVE CHAOS INTO HACK

[spiral cairn]

[frank crescent]

Showman is the worst joker in this entire game

[spiral cairn]

AAGAHA

[frank crescent]

I want him fired

[olive escarp]

I told you about the negative tag

[spiral cairn]

peak

[olive escarp]

But you never listen

[frank crescent]

Brother

I don't have a negative skip tag

[olive escarp]

Make one

[spiral cairn]

ask axolotl for one

[vernal bay]

DAE think Heiroglyph is a noob trap?

[lunar zealot]

hiero is a situational voucher

it has scenarios where it is absolutely necessary

scenarios where it is good but can be played without

and scenarios where it is outright detrimental to a build to take

and tha'ts not necessarily bad

[stark karma]

fumbled this run I wanna kms

got greedy with the seance

[lunar zealot]

this run is fucking beautiful

QNLIJDFSGUBSDLBJKUGFF ? ?@?@??@#%?

okay.

[left juniper]

Sell Chaos and get Brainstorm nods

[lunar zealot]

i guess my xmult will come from license +

steels?

sounds about right but that has weaknesses

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

ZzcxkhjvbffsdhbjkfbjksgSDKBJGBJKSDJBKGFDSBJKG?

[uncut slate]

sell chaos and get blueprint

[frank crescent]

👏 👏 👏

That was fun

[lunar zealot]

insanely fucking easy

ZCNXKTY9

for some reason this has wee hack fibo and blueprint brainstorm

probably you can win without license by just making steels

[icy hollow]

ante 2 antimatter lol

doesnt matter tho cus my econ is so cooked 💀

[frank crescent]

I was constantly playing flushes to get the most out of my AJs despite not doing much (good) deck fixing so this probably would have been impossible without the discard vouchers

Cannot wait for Blue Stake rework 2 discards is not fun

[tacit quail]

i love when i get the photochadprintcard setup in early ante 3

constellation thinks hes doin sm

plant about to nuke me in 3 antes

[valid abyss]

i love wee joker

[tacit quail]

weird ass neg pull

[orchid comet]

what do I do here

current deck

flush five at level 4

[lyric shore]

sell smiley for rebate

[orchid comet]

really?

I thought photograph

[uncut slate]

photograph doesn't even literally even do anything

[orchid comet]

I've seen it in high ante runs

[uncut slate]

chad is the good part

photograph just looks pretty

[north schooner]

Nice try, green deck

[orchid comet]

oh but cuz of brainstorm and bp I get like +75(?) with smiley

[uncut slate]

credit card in shop

[cloud sinew]

I would drop baron for hologram here, I wouldn't take rebate or photograph I don't think

[cloud sinew]

credit card on green deck my beloved

[orchid comet]

oh yeah holo would be nice since I add 3 cards every round

[shell current]

It’s white stake just get like 20 mars levels

[uncut slate]

definitely the right play for ante 8 idk if i would do it on a high score run but i also don't do high score runs

[cloud sinew]

and you can copy it with brainstorm without having suboptimal joker placement

[north schooner]

What level high card?

[orchid comet]

true I was just unlocking jokers anyway

[orchid comet]

haven't upgraded it

[north schooner]

Yeah definitely holo for Baron then

[twin lantern]

hi chat

[orchid comet]

hello

[valid abyss]

there should be a C+++ that requires both C, C+ and C++ and all achievements unlocked

[cloud sinew]

nty

[valid abyss]

excuse me im 80 years old what does nty mean

[orchid comet]

there should be a coding language called C++

[uncut slate]

yeah it's always seemed odd to me that c and c++ are not related to c+

one of my friends has c+ but not c

[tacit quail]

DOUBLEEEE negative tag

[north schooner]

If you want to play Baron, you upgrade high card because then you can hold more kings in hand. If you're playing flush five, then go for idol once you've got them all the same suit (or oops/bloodstone if you hate yourself)

[tacit quail]

im the skipper

[cloud sinew]

why...

[orchid comet]

I see

that makes a lot of sense

[tacit quail]

i see negative tag i take it

[uncut slate]

funny

[tacit quail]

i saw it twice

[cloud sinew]

why

[valid abyss]

but the photo!!!!!

[orchid comet]

thank you for explaining that to me

[valid abyss]

and the chad

[uncut slate]

i don't take negative tag but i do concede that it's very funny

[cloud sinew]

the chad was there already, and the photo would've been takeable anyway

[tacit quail]

i saw two negative tags on ante 2 i'm like yes please

yeah sure ill pop an ecto

[cloud sinew]

your playstyle is awful to me

[twin lantern]

Java better 🗣️

[valid abyss]

but now its free and negative

[uncut slate]

having lots of jokers and watching them all trigger is just silly

[loud flicker]

3 handsize

wait for it

uhh

[cloud sinew]

wow I save $4...
I only lost a whole round of econ and a shop for it!

[loud flicker]

damn my internet is slow

[tacit quail]

2 shops

i also got negative ice cream ❤️

[twin lantern]

oh no

[valid abyss]

you must not be a gambler...

see i gamble

and lose loads of money alogn the way

[cloud sinew]

see I win

[uncut slate]

i mean you don't have to play to win

[valid abyss]

but winning $4

[uncut slate]

and you don't have to win

[tacit quail]

im trying to go up the stakes, i save optimality for gold stake

it needs to be fun or i wont play it

[twin lantern]

/j

smh

[valid abyss]

i just have fun playing the game

[uncut slate]

there's nothing wrong with playing silly because you have more fun that way

[valid abyss]

if gambling with a negative tag is an option i would maybe take it

[cloud sinew]

I never said there was anything wrong with it

[tacit quail]

bragging in here for reactions is also part of the fun

[uncut slate]

idk this seemed pretty negative to me

[cloud sinew]

"to me"

[twin lantern]

green to red absolutely satisfied my soul

[north schooner]

Well, I guess we doin flushes now?

[valid abyss]

hey guys remember

[cloud sinew]

see that part? it makes it explicitly an opinion

[valid abyss]

funny card game

[north schooner]

Should have taken mystic summit instead of half

[valid abyss]

please dont argue again lilo its not worth it

[cloud sinew]

I have places to be so I won't anyway

[uncut slate]

well yeah so is everything else you'd say...

i don't see how that's relevant at all

but whatever

[cloud sinew]

me when I have no argument

anyway

whatever

[uncut slate]

oh you're right actually

i forgot that I'm a moron

and didn't have a point at all in the first place
