[serene forge]

on average its +2.5 mult, therefore worse than red card

[white zodiac]

I think it's an ad hominem

[barren wigeon]

no im straight

get it

[lost vault]

ad hominem makes me sad :(

[alpine hollow]

heh

[white zodiac]

on average it's 13 chips

[nova mantle]

EXACTLY
Or let's go with nother one, a card pack that has 3 playing cards with NO enhancements no seal no nothing, and they're all from the suit you're not playing

[barren wigeon]

do you get the joke

[lost vault]

GAHAHHAAHAHAHHA

[serene forge]

im lesbiab

[alpine hollow]

ye

[nova mantle]

That's where red card shines the most

[lost vault]

get it becauuse homo

[white zodiac]

yeah ppl these days 💔

[white zodiac]

ew not polychrome

[lost vault]

im a polychrome

[nova mantle]

Red card slowly makes every hand viable tho

[serene forge]

im a lesbiab

[lost vault]

yay

[white zodiac]

1.5!?
doioioioioing

[barren wigeon]

i like holo more anyways

[nova mantle]

Idc if I'm not pulling a flush if red card's at +42

[lost vault]

polychromephobia is crazy

[barren wigeon]

literally untrue

ill take a polychrome

[tacit quail]

red card when it's +6 per shop and you have 100 dollars but you can only spend 10 of them on packs and you decrease the tarots you get to take
vs
flash card which is +6 with 3 rerolls but you get to take the stuff from in the packs+you get more scaling the more Econ you have forever per shop

[barren wigeon]

Id just be more happy for that sweet succulent multiplier

[north spindle]

imo poly > foil > holo

[lost vault]

red card is better

[white zodiac]

how many runs on gs are you gonna be in a situation where you're lax on econ

[lost vault]

yess

gays are winning

[tacit quail]

any good run

[white zodiac]

another if statement part 7

[fringe crest]

i like holo the best

[barren wigeon]

holo > poly > foil

foil is lame as hell

[tacit quail]

nah poly and foil are both clear

[white zodiac]

not a gs metric got it

[lost vault]

whats si good about holo vri

[tacit quail]

holo is early

[alpine hollow]

holo > foil > poly > nope

[barren wigeon]

10 mult???

[lost vault]

good eaely game list

[barren wigeon]

oh YES PLEASE

[white zodiac]

foil > poly > holo

[tacit quail]

my holographic card when it adds 10 mult after my xmult has hit and added nothing

[fringe crest]

foil is fine but one or two planets and its useless pretty much

[barren wigeon]

you could just

[lost vault]

?

[barren wigeon]

move it

[fringe crest]

i will take it on a card though

[barren wigeon]

your xmult is usually in the back anyways

[orchid comet]

open buffoon or save for overstock?

[barren wigeon]

save

[orchid comet]

doing a stake run I'll try go for baron but other than that it's normal

[white zodiac]

buffoon for gs

[alpine hollow]

buffoon, sell if rare in there, buy supernova

[fringe crest]

holo blueprint trust

[barren wigeon]

luckily its not gold stake

[white zodiac]

whatever you want for anything below

[orchid comet]

gs?

[north spindle]

its over 3 mercurys worth of chips

[lost vault]

early snova fosho

[nova mantle]

Yeah but you shouldnt be rerolling that much every shop tho
As it's laid out, red card turns what would've an useless tarot/card/planet pack into a consistent and strong scoring boost, and when you know how to play your econ right you're getting potentially getting 18 mult every ante

[north spindle]

thats like... pretty significant imo

[white zodiac]

in case he yearns of improvement

[nova mantle]

Ofc not every pack will be bad for you to skip it

[orchid comet]

I have not reached that yet

[nova mantle]

But red card turns every pack into a good pack

[alpine hollow]

what if you keep getting lucky with packs though?

[north spindle]

ofc if you're using saturn its not nearly ss relevant

[barren wigeon]

lebron isnt gonna score 80 against 3rd graders

[orchid comet]

what did u mean gs

[barren wigeon]

he of course could

[orchid comet]

explain 💔

[barren wigeon]

but he wont

[white zodiac]

foil is flint proof scoring source and the rarest of the 3 main sources

[lost vault]

simply get less lucky

[nova mantle]

Well... Good ain't it? It means you're getting something even better than 3 mult then

[alpine hollow]

in my gambling game??

[white zodiac]

gold stake

[nova mantle]

👆

[orchid comet]

scratch a lottery ticket

[lost vault]

its not a gambling game lol

[north spindle]

if you're actually that lucky with packs you are winning regardless

[white zodiac]

this conversation is stupid I need to play more black deck gs to calm myself

[alpine hollow]

in my rogeulike game, i mean

[fringe crest]

theres no real money in the game so by definition, its not gambling

[barren wigeon]

with the amount wheel hits it might as well be

[alpine hollow]

i want to clear orange stake

[orchid comet]

I got campfire what now

[tacit quail]

Swashbuckler gift card clears

[orchid comet]

I'd keep

but is it better to sell

[barren wigeon]

maybe actually

[humble gulch]

Stickers

[orchid comet]

W buffoon

[nova mantle]

Ehh, whatever

[orchid comet]

never lets me down

[nova mantle]

Keep doing your thing buddy

[lost vault]

ror2 has chance shrines but nobody calls that a gambling game 💔

[tacit quail]

this game isn't about 1 joker being good and people who tier list jokers are silly because you can get 5 good jokers and it's a bad run because they don't work with eachother

[barren wigeon]

people play that game?

[nova mantle]

I gotta play more balatro I'm still missing all the colored decks for gs

[barren wigeon]

wow

[tacit quail]

It's about setups

[lost vault]

uh yeah

[alpine hollow]

i mispoke, i didnt mean actually gmblinh

[lost vault]

its pretty good id say

[alpine hollow]

i cant spell

[barren wigeon]

risk of rain 2 also isnt a poker based game

[lost vault]

its oki :3

[lost vault]

neuther is balatro

[barren wigeon]

youre going to sit here and tell me balatro isnt based on poker

[alpine hollow]

bkpet

[barren wigeon]

you're going to lie directly to my face

[lost vault]

the only similarity is the hand types

[tranquil cargo]

gameplay-wise it's based on video poker, not multiplayer poker

[lost vault]

iirc its based on a different card game

[nova mantle]

While it has rng elements it's not gambling since with enough experience you could win every game

[alpine hollow]

2 games, actually, but i forgot what they are

[tacit quail]

Big blink

[lost vault]

ye

[tacit quail]

Small blink

[nova mantle]

It's like if roulette on casinos was skill based

[barren wigeon]

balatro is literally THE POKER ROGUELIKE

[tacit quail]

It is

[nova mantle]

It wouldn't be gambling anymore

[tacit quail]

Blow on it

[tranquil cargo]

they have that too, it's called bingle bingle

[lost vault]

yes but its not really all that similar to poker

[jagged torrent]

They said people

[tacit quail]

You can make the ball go where you want

[barren wigeon]

i didn't SAY it was similar to poker

what i said was that its based on poker

and it is

[tacit quail]

Balatro is like if golf was with cards tbh

[lost vault]

it is not

[alpine hollow]

technically, its based on card games

[tacit quail]

You gotta do your blind (the hole) with as little hands (strokes)

[barren wigeon]

which is evident because its title is the POKER roguelike

[lost vault]

i remember in a video

[tacit quail]

For better result

[lost vault]

no its title is balatro

[nova mantle]

Many rng elements make it seem like a gambling game tbf, getting the right cards, lucky cards and glass cards, etc...

[barren wigeon]

oh my days

[alpine hollow]

or spam hands for extra Roigh gem value

[tranquil cargo]

you know what happens if you go over par by 1 in golf? nothing, your score is just 1 worse than if it were at par

[tacit quail]

Hands value is so goated when you don't have jokers which is the default game state

[tacit quail]

Yeah that's like your money in balatro

[alpine hollow]

wdym default game state?

[tacit quail]

Like you start with 0

[nova mantle]

How did you pick that madness and not get your build eaten tho

[tacit quail]

You by default don't have econ

[barren wigeon]

in case you didnt know where to look

[alpine hollow]

generally, by the end of Ante 1 you should at least have at least one joker

[tacit quail]

And getting it requires the game to be nice and give you econ instead of odd todd or some shit

[tranquil cargo]

fun fact: balatro has been around for thousands of years, and poker is based upon it

[tacit quail]

So you gotta get your hands optimised first few ants

[barren wigeon]

aw man I hate ants

[nova mantle]

Your circles kinda make the shape of a face looking up

[barren wigeon]

i got bitten once at summer camp

[alpine hollow]

they eat all my bananas

[tacit quail]

ooker

It says ooker

[barren wigeon]

im going to eat your doorknob

[tacit quail]

ouh

[nova mantle]

I've heard shakespeare copied the concept of one of the legendaries when writing hamlet and added it as a character

[tacit quail]

othello I heard of that

[orchid comet]

skip for negative?

a flush scored me 5k last round

[tacit quail]

Alwaysssd

[alpine hollow]

since you re relying on campfire, probably not

[nova mantle]

It has the 52 cards, 4 suits and 13 ranks tho

[tacit quail]

I'm not advice but think about it

[alpine hollow]

one of the few times you dont

[nova mantle]

Lots of inspiration from poker there

[white zodiac]

flushes with trading card

[orchid comet]

💔

[alpine hollow]

so does solitare

[tacit quail]

More joker that you can have without any need to sell

[orchid comet]

I got that AFTER

[orchid comet]

the shop before this screen

[white zodiac]

flushes in general

[orchid comet]

😭

[nova mantle]

That also takes elements from poker yeah

[orchid comet]

ikr

[nova mantle]

Each and every time

Potential blueprint in every negative skip btw

[tacit quail]

Guys my main save is on my pc so I'm on my phone

wheel main

[white zodiac]

there's no saving this one

[tacit quail]

you gotta take wheel

[white zodiac]

I do take wheel

I have other problems in here

[nova mantle]

Jupiter as most played id guess

[tardy spade]

my stats have been poisoned by endless before I created a new save for endless

[tacit quail]

ghost deck is peak "do whatever you want" deck and flushes are just what you do when you don't want to stop playing the early game forever

[white zodiac]

mayhaps

[nova mantle]

Mmh, normally I play double pairs/pairs in early game while I'm looking for 5 card hands

[tacit quail]

you play hands on early game? --econ

[nova mantle]

Not necessarily flushes, can be straights or full houses depending on which card I have on hand

[tacit quail]

I discard then I discard again then I play my 5 card hand then I go to shop

With my dollars

[nova mantle]

Ofc that doesn't always happen, you are not guaranteed the hand youre looking for in those 2 discards

[tacit quail]

If you're not pulling with 2 discards you gotta get better at them

75% I would guess

[nova mantle]

Bad luck is always a factor

[white zodiac]

u wanna do a win streak competition :)

[tacit quail]

Go outside

[nova mantle]

You said you never used obby licks tho so 😭

[white zodiac]

I've been outside for the last 3 weeks I think I'm ok

[nova mantle]

Gotta enroll to the balatro university blud

[white zodiac]

japan set me down 4k now I'm stuck doing remote work and org chem

hate it here

[tacit quail]

Idk man I think being good at discard order is a different skill to picking jokers

[white zodiac]

u didn't answer my question

:(

[tacit quail]

I did a lot of cards before balatro tbh maybe it's a different thing but I think it's a really useful skill to figure out what you can pull from what deck

[white zodiac]

so win streak?

[tacit quail]

Stop your shit

I'm not interested in streak pics

I have like 1

[white zodiac]

oh no I was asking if you were interested

in doing one

as a friendly competition

[nova mantle]

Also I forgot this but you gotta be doing that in many situations
Either
You're looking for the card to discard with rebate/faceless or the hand that to do list is on (which ends up giving more money)
Or you're scaling one of the many jokers that scales with hands (rtb, grimbo, supernova, obelisk)

[tacit quail]

The only win streak I get is in trackmania or some shit

[vocal rose]

I am interested

[tardy spade]

trackmania.... another game in which I have a controversial opinion

[floral mural]

eternal half beats ante 2 so its that i think

[tacit quail]

I would rather play 10 balatro runs that go to A3 cause I'm doing some bullshit skips rather than 2 long but boring thinking runs

[floral mural]

sixth sense is fun but logically is less good here

[tacit quail]

I'm pretty good at it test me

Eternal 6th isn't good

You need to be able to sell it later tbh

[white zodiac]

new sticker option maybe

[floral mural]

there is also a rental eternal holo stencil in the shop which is going broke simulator

[tardy spade]

the fact that you are forced into first person camera around loops is stupid and throws me off every time

[white zodiac]

krill issue perchance?

[nova mantle]

I'm more surprised at the fact you got antimatter before ante 8

[nova mantle]

Haven't seen that many jokers in a while

[white zodiac]

im surprised I unlocked antimatter and got it in the same run

trying to see if boots or idol is the more annoying gs sticker

[tacit quail]

you get used to it 😭 you can't see shit otherwise tbh but yeah it's community standard over there to do that. but tbh the styles that have loops are not the ones I play haha im washed on FS etc. anyways back to balatro unless you wanna take me into oftopic

[nova mantle]

That's pretty cool

[tacit quail]

I got antimatter A3 once

It was so fucked up

[white zodiac]

ok

[tacit quail]

Only once

Run was dead but I got it

[white zodiac]

damn

[nova mantle]

Go for idol honestly, my idol gold sticker was outta pure luck and an ecto on the last shop

[white zodiac]

did your discarding tech fail you

[white zodiac]

I don't wanna fly too close to the sun

[tacit quail]

I feel like a lot of my enjoyment of this game is "I'm doing some niche bullshit run and I am going to try to force it to work"

[coral hill]

The rare run saving fortune teller

[tardy spade]

my last gold sticker was rough gem

[white zodiac]

I'll accept my 7 new stickers

[nova mantle]

Fair play Icarus

[floral mural]

the path to the win here is swash madness i think

[tacit quail]

Mostly so I can post weird screenshots like my triple flash card or like all chips or the time I rolled 5 natnegs with baseball card

Actually no it was 4 and one ecto

[nova mantle]

Making underwhelming jokers viable is pretty fun tbf that's where half of the fun comes from

[white zodiac]

maybe

[tacit quail]

No fun in playing optimal if it requires thinking

In a way that I don't tend to think

[floral mural]

swash is somewhat good here entirely because that supernova will stop being useful once madness eats it and half isnt making it on its own

[white zodiac]

the most thinking I'm going through rn is to see what stickers I wanna get done first

[nova mantle]

Really? It's a nice econ for me... I would expect something like turtle bean

[tardy spade]

I got lucky with turtle bean, finding it in ante 8 quite early on

my last could have been any uncommon tbh, it just happened to be rough gem

[tacit quail]

I really like full houses early game because of it's ability to turn into x-oak builds pretty damn quickly

tbh

[white zodiac]

[tacit quail]

I don't get the hate

[tardy spade]

misplaced apostrophe

[tacit quail]

Apostrophe 🙌

[nova mantle]

I'm nowhere near completing c++ and I fear the category of jokers that require this kinda luck to gold stake them

[tardy spade]

use them only when needed

[tacit quail]

ohh I did type one

[nova mantle]

Thankfully I've got some niche ones like Jimbo

[tardy spade]

showman was one of my last 5 I think

[tacit quail]

Sorry I thought I didn't and so I was trying to make fun of you for calling my dash an apostrophe

Peak

[nova mantle]

Full houses are goated for me too

[tacit quail]

It's 6:24 lemme get out of bed and get on my pc so I can go run plasma

I was waiting for the heat to turn on tbh that shit was cold I wasn't getting out of bed

[nova mantle]

As expected, showman is in many cases worse than an empty slot

[white zodiac]

twin

[nova mantle]

I should go and count how many jokers have I gold stake'd

[white zodiac]

i just don't lol

[nova mantle]

They're like prob 30 or sum. Idk...

[tardy spade]

at least C++ enabled me to have some fun runs I'd normally skip over (e.g. a loyalty card run, or a 4oak wee run)

[tacit quail]

Jokerless with a red card 😌

[white zodiac]

c++ let's me play the entire portion of the game to some extent

[tacit quail]

I've done a loyalty card run it was so fun

[tardy spade]

misplaced apostrophe

[tacit quail]

The synergy with burglar is wild

[humble gulch]

Sticker for driver's license. I just need to beat Nebula Deck and Painted Deck on Gold stake

[tacit quail]

I like balatro cause it feels like no matter what there is one more synergy nobody knows about yet that you can find yourself

[tardy spade]

magic deck is my favourite deck

[tacit quail]

Obviously people have figured it all out but it feels like they haven't when nobody talks too much about them

[nova mantle]

So they should be 40 now that I've counted em... 1 less 1 more since I'm checking them from my phone and I can't turn on my PC to check rn

[tardy spade]

e.g. opening a celestial pack with hallucination so yhou might get a tarot to use in the arcana pack

[tacit quail]

Doing that is so peak

[nova mantle]

Fr once you get to experiment with many strats you find yourself popping off with unusual mult scalers or chips jokers

[tardy spade]

or if there's a very good ante 1 joker you can't afford, as well as a hallucination in the shop, you can buy the hallucination, open any pack, get a judgement into credit card, and buy the joker

[twin lantern]

everytime i see C++ i think the language 😭

[white zodiac]

still finding my awaiting "sixth glass" synergy run

[nova mantle]

Something like square joker is pretty fun if you carry it from the first ante and gs runs show you those kinds of things

[nova mantle]

In what country do they speak c++?

[tacit quail]

That requires absurd setup though

[twin lantern]

in computer 🔥

[nova mantle]

Woah...

I wanna go to the balatro country

[twin lantern]

jimbos will greet you

[white zodiac]

finding two specific uncommons, glassing a 6, and making a few copies with ample econ is something I've been looking since my last glassy run

two joker combinations I don't see as much

makeshift canio build

but instead of trading card canio

it's just whatever this is

[tacit quail]

Trading card glass joker is a funny one I be killing them on purpose

[nova mantle]

When I realized things like faceless joker kinda synergize with rtb

[tacit quail]

They do

[nova mantle]

Shi like that

[white zodiac]

when grim works well with rtb + stm

[tardy spade]

I remember a gold stake run where I was running rtb and got a natural negative splash and pareidolia

[tacit quail]

Pareidolia 😭

why you even take that

[tardy spade]

I took splash for the gold sticker

[nova mantle]

Instant win

[tardy spade]

and then had to play around rtb and splash

[tardy spade]

I didn't take pareidolia, that would have killed the run

[tacit quail]

wording was like if you took it

[tardy spade]

I did.... Then realised just in time that it was a bad idea and sold it

[nova mantle]

I've heard those lands live under the law of some sort of... Baron

[tardy spade]

we'd better hit the road then

[nova mantle]

Ride the bus and you'll get there

[tardy spade]

Is there no shortcut I can take?

[white zodiac]

my wee itches

i need to go to the bathroom

brb

[nova mantle]

Sadly not, you'd probably get there once dusk sets

[tardy spade]

hmm, I need to brainstorm this

[nova mantle]

Mmh...

Blue joker? I ran out of jokes 😭

I gotta go to sleep now

[tardy spade]

duerme bien

[nova mantle]

Gbye lads

[nova mantle]

Gracias

[digital pewter]

i forget, does burglar still work on the needle?

woohoo

run lowkey saved

[rigid fulcrum]

Not a long time ago I bought Balatro on mobile

[slim summit]

yo

[tardy spade]

rick

[slim summit]

yall wanna take a look at this? met a difficult decision early

[tardy spade]

probably best here to just go next

what did you end up doing?

[quartz ember]

oh thats quite unfortunate

[slim summit]

i still didnt do anything

[tardy spade]

arcana pack -> judgement -> credit card trust

[slim summit]

im thinking abt selling bus tbh

blueprint + burglar is so powerful

[tardy spade]

you're giving up all your scoring for what

[quartz ember]

thats your scoring

[glass creek]

Damn that's rough

[slim summit]

i can go 1 round without scoring

maybe 3 rounds

[tardy spade]

this is ante 2

[slim summit]

yes but i have 10 hands

copying burg

i can go like 3 rounds no scoring

[quartz ember]

sure you can do that if you want, but you probably dies

[slim summit]

ehh true tho

idk man i really want blueprint

[orchid comet]

can popcorn be eternal

[quartz ember]

if you have hand levels

[glass creek]

Blueprint could be good for the future but burglar helps with scaling bus

[orchid comet]

it should be

[floral mural]

dont take blueprint here

its not worth

[slim summit]

true but blueprint + burglar and maybe i find another scaling joker later

[tardy spade]

what would it even do? Start giving negative mult after 5 rounds?

[orchid comet]

yesss

awesome idea

[slim summit]

cool concept

[orchid comet]

-5 mult

-10 mult

[tardy spade]

it scales by -4

[orchid comet]

oh right

[tardy spade]

literally no reason to take it other than for stickering

[slim summit]

world first negative score

[floral mural]

burglar ride the bus is also sketchy id say so if youre really wanting blueprint you drop burg i think

[tardy spade]

wait what happens if you go in debt on rich get richer?

[glass creek]

You score 0 points

[tardy spade]

oh

boring

it should give you negative score

[slim summit]

dropping burg is kinda crazy tho

[orchid comet]

yt videos on world's highest negative score

[tardy spade]

-1 point

[orchid comet]

if u wanna fix ur deck is it a good idea to turn low number cards into stone

[glass creek]

Also negative mult acts like 0 mult

[orchid comet]

I don't even touch the tower usually

[glass creek]

Soo, nothing happens

[orchid comet]

I saw someone doing it in a video so now I'm reconsidering

[tardy spade]

I really don't like this game's discrimination against negative numbers

[floral mural]

well ride the bus early on kinda likes having discards so if youre truly tsking blueprint (you shouldnt just go to next shop) then burg goes. scoring gurrantees survival more

[tardy spade]

it depends on how you want to fix your deck. If it's for things like idol or rebate, then yes, stone cards are good.
Stone cards are not a replacement for cutting cards though

[slim summit]

so yall saying i just go next?

[floral mural]

stone cards are good for hand spam builds for bonus chips so turning unwanted ranks into stone can be good (not always low ranks tho)

[slim summit]

ill grab the seed later to try out some outcomes

[tardy spade]

I'd say so

[orchid comet]

like high card, pair, two pair?

[unreal iron]

stuntman youre my goat

thank you for winning a gold stake run for me

[orchid comet]

what did seeing double do again

[unreal iron]

x2 mult but you need to have a club

in your hand

[floral mural]

maybe the first two but id say in ante 8 attempts stones should be used to mainly be extra score or with bus to hide face cards

[unreal iron]

with another suit

[tardy spade]

x2 mult if you score a club and a non-club

[orchid comet]

oh that's cool

[orchid comet]

oh I see

[floral mural]

seeing double is aight

i like it

[unreal iron]

its surprisingly powerful but its weak to suit bosses and if you have too many clubs

[tardy spade]

does a club and a stone card work?
Based on the wording of the card I'd guess it doesn't

[orchid comet]

I haven't unlocked it yet

[unreal iron]

it doesnt no

you usually pair spam anyways it doesnt matter...?

[hardy fable]

use erratic or use magic and get lucky

[orchid comet]

seeing double, golden ticket, satelite

[tardy spade]

does a single wild card work?

[orchid comet]

and some vouchers

[unreal iron]

i know smeared joker allows you to play 2 clubs and trigger seeing double?

[tardy spade]

or 2 black cards

[unreal iron]

wilds work when you change another suit that isnt a club

[orchid comet]

I don't have erratic

infact I was js doing a black stake run rn to unlock another deck

[unreal iron]

unlock it?

[brittle shoal]

[hardy fable]

then use magic zodiac or yellow for deckfixing

[unreal iron]

i honestly think i enjoy magic more

[orchid comet]

yes yes

[unreal iron]

theres so many fun decks to begin with tbf

bur magic has grown on me

the stuff you can do the first 2 antes are extremely unique to the magic deck too

[hardy fable]

I just use it for a hermit or for Saturn

[floral mural]

nebula is the most unfun deck for me

ngl i dont know who likes that deck

[unreal iron]

me when i need to pair spam (AGAIN) but with -1 consumable

lebron james reportedly used priestess on nebula

[tardy spade]

me too

[unreal iron]

or emperor

[orchid comet]

is magic the deck where u get 2 fool cards

[unreal iron]

• crystal ball

its so fun

[floral mural]

nebula gets a solid voucher for a very unfun downside

[tardy spade]

people hate on black deck, but at least black deck is a fun late-game challenge. Nebula's just kinda boring

[orchid comet]

I wanted to try it but I got too focused on unlocking jokers

[floral mural]

when other decks get strong upsides for no downsides

[orchid comet]

I wanna try plasma so bad

I haven't unlocked it yet

[unreal iron]

idk nebula does need a rework like asap

but what would be reworked

starting off with a telescope and no downside?

[tardy spade]

blue deck: +1 hand per round
yellow deck: Start with $10 extra

[tardy spade]

beat blue stake

[floral mural]

just remove the downside from nebula itll be fine

telescope is a voucher requiring thinking to get use out of and not mess up

[unreal iron]

sounds extremely boring ill be real

[orchid comet]

is it after black

[floral mural]

maybe give nebula a second effect?

[unreal iron]

you get guaranteed benefit from spamming pairs sure

[tardy spade]

i think so

[floral mural]

and keep downside

but what second effect do you give nebula deck

[tardy spade]

start with telescope and planet merchant

[unreal iron]

guaranteed celestial pack first shop

[orchid comet]

I'm on black rn

lemme beat this and be back

or if I need advice

[unreal iron]

i dont like the idea of diluting shops to find the planet you want when you have telescope

less jokers overall, more susceptible to sneaky bosses

[tardy spade]

so what if the -1 consumable slot was removed and that was its downside?

or is that too similar to zodiac

[floral mural]

then its kinda bland

[unreal iron]

zodiac doesnt have a downside tbf since you see more jokers on average

[floral mural]

basically telescope with a worse shop pool as a deck

[unreal iron]

yeah :/

what about the guaranteed celestial i was talking about

[tardy spade]

what if nebula started you with telescope and 2 random blue seals, along with -1 consumable slot

[unreal iron]

i feel like its going to pull some erratic deck bullshit that i dont like

seals are powerful yes but

[floral mural]

what if nebula started you with all hands at level 2 at the start or an effect like that

[unreal iron]

so black hole, telescope, -1 consumable?

[tardy spade]

that's a decent idea, but it only really affects the first shop

[floral mural]

blue seal is also too strong for a deck to start with

[floral mural]

yeah basically

[unreal iron]

i mean lvl 2 everything gets you out of ante 1 jokerless at this point

maybe even ante 2

its pretty damn powerful i think

it falls off later but it sounds like a good idea

[tardy spade]

it shouldn't start you with black hole since the game is designed so you can't get black hole in your inventory

for perkeo reasons

[unreal iron]

yeah im saying black hole since its comparable to "everything lvl 2"

[tardy spade]

alright so it would just be applied immediately on run start

[unreal iron]

yeah thats what im getting

[tardy spade]

I'm hungry

[unreal iron]

hi hungry

[fiery crane]

i wonder if anymore friend of jimbo packs are happening

[digital pewter]

i'm really putting a dent in it

the only black stake deck left is erratic

[light tide]

someone help what do i do

i made the wrong choice😔

[marsh goblet]

[astral gulch]

"balalala" 💀

[quartz ember]

thats not the greatest econ

[marsh goblet]

incantation's only purpose is to fuel hologram

[gusty maple]

We are reaching Ante 39 with this one 🔥

[marsh goblet]

ante 8, is this enough xmult?

[upbeat vine]

Does a glass card shattering increase canio’s mult?

[gusty maple]

Yes

[upbeat vine]

Bro how many cards could you possibly have

[marsh goblet]

82

[uncut slate]

that's plenty

[marsh goblet]

i am aware, i was asking as a joke

hologram + certificate is just a free win lol

got an invis from a wraith lowkey hoping it's gonna copy egg

this build is hilarious

[wind basin]

interesting starter jokers

[orchid comet]

or dna yes

[orchid comet]

I wish upon you a nat negative gift joker

[vocal rose]

[marsh goblet]

i got an eternal brainstorm lol

[orchid comet]

green needle

[orchid comet]

that's awesome

[marsh goblet]

also i think i die if i sell any of these

[orchid comet]

brainstorm is always eternal

[orchid comet]

legendary isn't worth it

[marsh goblet]

real

[marsh goblet]

yeah lol

[orchid comet]

no unfortunately too bad should've gotten a lot more

[marsh goblet]

my egg is at 38 sel value

[orchid comet]

W

+38 twice is awesome

oh wait does it also count brainstorm or

[wind basin]

I would have lost if I didnt have cavendish

because i checked my score,it wouldn't have been enough to win but I happen to get Cavendish right before the needle

[orchid comet]

nicee

[upbeat vine]

A good run ended by my arch enemy

[orchid comet]

died too young 💔

[marsh goblet]

kinda wanna sell egg and risk it all trying to find more mult

[upbeat vine]

I enjoy high card but half the time I do it I end up dying before it takes off

[west hemlock]

Is photograph worth it here?

[orchid comet]

yes sell scary face

[marsh goblet]

WOOOOO I GOT SUPERNOVA

LET'S GOOO

[orchid comet]

[marsh goblet]

[wind basin]

Green man,if only you came in sooner

[light tide]

[orchid comet]

[wind basin]

well thats funny

[light tide]

i meant in balatro, bull ill think about it

[orchid comet]

HAHA

[wind basin]

unless Cavendish wants to be funny and make me lose by going extinct,ill be fine

[marsh goblet]

i forgot to copy burglar rip the run

[light tide]

i still need help tho

i dont want to fumble

[orchid comet]

[orchid comet]

the good players aren't on rn 😭

I'm new too I wouldn't listen to myself

[marsh goblet]

[light tide]

Thats where im geting a lot of my chips are coming from

[orchid comet]

I mean I'm new u don't seem new

[light tide]

flush five

[marsh goblet]

oh this early? are u going for endless or just trying to win the run

[orchid comet]

flush five is so awesome

[wind basin]

I skipped a blind for the double money tag

[orchid comet]

little xmult scales it so far

[light tide]

Im mostly trying to win but endless would be nice

[marsh goblet]

honestly you have no reason to transition to xmult rn, yorick won't do much

[orchid comet]

nicee

[marsh goblet]

sell yorick, buy invis

ante 6 yorick kinda sucks

[light tide]

true

[bleak hemlock]

woofwoof

[vocal rose]

copy idol

you're losing alot of score

well

[bleak hemlock]

dont need score.

yea :3. just looking for money

lul

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[upbeat vine]

Yeah but a full hand of steel kings tickles my brain

[manic talon]

probably too early to have glass cards in an endless run

[bleak hemlock]

i have a few pieces

[west hemlock]

Piss off blue stake

[bleak hemlock]

WHEEZE

[west hemlock]

Face card build with no insurance somehow pays off 🔥🔥

[wind basin]

well huh

[acoustic shoal]

any tips on how to continue from here? Cat is at x22 or 25 or something. I have a lot of kings and can consistantly pull 5 of a kinds

[tardy spade]

what's the closest thing this game has to a standard deck of cards?

[wind basin]

hm

[manic talon]

Just play cards and hope its a pair itll be fine

[left juniper]

wat

[wind basin]

I have a level 17 high card

[tardy spade]

what's the closest thing this game has to a standard deck of cards?

red deck?

[wind basin]

[left juniper]

Most decks are standard excluding 3: Checkered, Erratic and Abandoned

[tardy spade]

I'm talking about other effects too though, like black deck's -1 hand and +1 joker slot

[left juniper]

Anaglyph would be the best example of default

[tardy spade]

ig so yeah, if you just don't skip then there's no upside

[last cradle]

I'm in danger

😛

bad start and i forgot to re arrange my jokers

ceremonial dagger ate good one

[manic talon]

Jokerless

[wind basin]

verdant leaf again nice

[tardy spade]

I feel like I've had this exact run before

[wind basin]

debuffed cards doesnt even matter

i mean yeah

[acoustic shoal]

Any tips on how to continue from here? Cat is at X25.

[floral mural]

baron is bad here

[left juniper]

Baron bait

[acoustic kettle]

Baron trib

Amazing synergy

[wind basin]

this is how far I am in black deck

[acoustic shoal]

Could maybe drop trib for baron, but idk.

Since i have the dusk It would benefit from the retriggers

[acoustic kettle]

Even if you're gonna pivot you drop photo first

Unless the deck is jacks

[floral mural]

you dont have high card levels to support baron

most likely

[acoustic kettle]

My photochad is usually hc

[floral mural]

well the trib suggests flush five here

[wary stump]

will balatro support multiplayer in next update?

[obsidian patrol]

No

[wary stump]

why

[obsidian patrol]

Thunk said he doesnt wanna do multiplayer

let me find the quote

[wary stump]

ah damn

it would have been funny

[obsidian patrol]

Its in the faq

[versed berry]

#🙋・frequently-asked message

Yeah

The mods are pretty good though and not hard to install

[wary stump]

sad moment😔

[versed berry]

I personally don't really see the difference between official support and a mod that does the same thing

[wary stump]

if is it in the game normally is better i think

[versed berry]

I mean

It is a pretty singleplayer game

[wary stump]

🤔

[humble dune]

What do I grab

Gold stake green deck holy pack

[wary stump]

the banana look cool

[humble dune]

Ikr

They're both editioned

[wary stump]

mhh i am not a expert

[humble dune]

I wanna grab the fist

[manic talon]

i think the game would be worse

[wary stump]

do it follow you instinct

[humble dune]

Because scoring gets hard later on and poly would go crazy

And the banana would probably just disappear anyway

[manic talon]

its never not the poly fist

[wary stump]

how? like you can choose if play single player or nulti

[obsidian patrol]

Fist

[manic talon]

because the game would have to balance for multiplayer or singleplayer, it would just make one or the other game mode worse to cater to the other

[wary stump]

i dont know man

[fading cobalt]

What if consumables were rental/perishable on gold stake

[obsidian patrol]

im against multiplayer but you could just make balances to only 1 gamemode

[humble dune]

Facts

[humble dune]

Like when they're in the tray?

[fading cobalt]

Yeah

[dire crater]

Raised fist sucks almost like idol

[humble dune]

Oh and hex and ankh and ecto would apply the rental/perishable to the jokers instead of their regular diwnsides

[dire crater]

Or obelisk

Totally obelisk

[fading cobalt]

You watch your mouth

[orchid comet]

hello

[humble dune]

Yeah but it's poly and obelisk ain't that bad

[fading cobalt]

Obelisk isn't bad at ALL

[dire crater]

it forces you to not upgrade hands

[versed berry]

Obelisk is only bad if you're not using it right

[orchid comet]

fr

[humble dune]

Everything that I feel, praise the lorddddd

[versed berry]

Not every build works with it

[dire crater]

i wonder why

[humble dune]

Uhh what

Just high card and then scale

[last cradle]

the person who made that image could at least include teh full image

[wary stump]

so the game is like completed at 100%?

[last cradle]

smh

[obsidian patrol]

spam pairs*

[versed berry]

Skill issue

[manic talon]

i made the image

[humble dune]

Oh true

High card is more versatile

[last cradle]

Skill issue

[humble dune]

So we keep dat

[last cradle]

I will make it better

[humble dune]

Obelisk issue

Should replace the skill issue term

[last cradle]

I will make 2 cards

[manic talon]

eh with the full image it just makes it a bit too long

[last cradle]

as images to post

[humble dune]

It seems appropriate enough to throw at people who diss it

[floral mural]

obelisk doesnt like high card because you can be forced into a high card but not any other hand

[sudden river]

you have a wider monitor than me so the window for scale looks smaller when I fullscreen

[humble dune]

Oh lmao I'm on mobile, that's probably why

I'm trying to gold stake all the decks in order on a new acc

[fading cobalt]

Obelisk is great on gold stake cuz you almost always play/start building pairs so once you get obelisk you can pivot to like 3oak or high card and win

[dire crater]

so youre gonna waste your 3 hands in one hand and then errrrr lost your scaling

[floral mural]

you pivot into everything but pairs actually

[last cradle]

first we need the aspect ratio of a playing card!

"The aspect ratio of a standard playing card, which measures 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches, is 1:1.4"

[dire crater]

Wait

Damn it

[manic talon]

you can still do obelisk with high card stack, its just gonna be more volatile than usual

[last cradle]

1:1.4

[humble dune]

Bro what

[fading cobalt]

Yeah but like 3oak or high card should be what you try to level since its more consistent

[humble dune]

💔

[sudden river]

not shown: solitaire size are even smaller

[dire crater]

I fucked up sorry my keyboard

[obsidian patrol]

What is you talm bout

[fading cobalt]

Yeah you're not playing obelisk correct

[floral mural]

with obelisk you want to build a big stack with one hand (14 pairs or so) and then use it as a cushion to never reset

[tranquil cedar]

hey guys who up playin the ‘tro

[humble dune]

That's what im saying

[floral mural]

obelisk is insane

[dire crater]

So im supposed to spam high card then use my useful hand?

[orchid comet]

opinions on hone

[dire crater]

Tell me how to use it then

[obsidian patrol]

spam pairs

then dont use pairs

Its that simple

[manic talon]

very niche to completely useless

[vernal bay]

this would've won if its wasnt black deck ffs

[tranquil cedar]

gay socialism or antimatter nana

[last cradle]

next step is to figure out the max embed size of discord to figure out how large teh picture is going to be

[vernal bay]

No econ the entire fucking seed

[cosmic sun]

two pair, straight, flush, 3oak:

[last cradle]

I t is 600x400 i believe

[orchid comet]

opinion on hone v2

[floral mural]

and then around ante 4 or 5 you should have joker scoring and begin playing hands that arent your stack hands

[wary stump]

YO THIS ONE SI SUPER GOOD

[dire crater]

Sounds boring

mezzo jolly

[orchid comet]

yas

[humble dune]

Mezzo jolly

[orchid comet]

emergency 20 mult also

[humble dune]

The 9s in my deck reading this

[orchid comet]

good for black deck

[tranquil cedar]

The Rain

[floral mural]

its good to get scoring early game like most non scaling flat mult jokers early on

[wary stump]

but is -4 for every round

[floral mural]

its fine

[orchid comet]

that means next round it'll give +16 mult.
20-4

[humble dune]

Excuse me Mr jimbo

[wary stump]

ohhh

[orchid comet]

after 5 rounds it disappears

[humble dune]

I ordered a gold steak

A friend of mine said ice cream and popcorn are food for today, but hunger for the tomorrow 🍷

[left juniper]

Your friend needs a bigger pantry and freezer

[cosmic sun]

you more likely than not sell the popcorn when it hits 4 mult

They should make it go negative

why is vagabond there

Oh and the switcheroo with brainstorm ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

He'll yeh

Will he?

[orchid comet]

[turbid reef]

All my jokers are eternal. Won’t be rerolling unless I get ecto

[humble dune]

Madness sounding real nice

[orchid comet]

reroll for tarots

[manic talon]

keeping vagabond for fun

[tranquil cedar]

But... think about the tarots... think about the planets...

[orchid comet]

keeping vagabond so someone can represent my situation

[humble dune]

Think about that negative in the shop waiting behind the reroll button

[versed berry]

90% of gamblers quit right before negative Brainstorm

[tranquil cedar]

One reroll is all it takes...

[turbid reef]

How did I forget vagabond only works if you have no money

[humble dune]

.

All that defending your case for what

💔

Traitor

[turbid reef]

Spam reroll

[humble dune]

Yez

Tis the goal

[versed berry]

You should save for interest instead of getting to $4

[manic talon]

this is what happens when people start having money, they forget what got them there and their roots 😔

[versed berry]

True...

[humble dune]

Vagabond was a day 1 and you switched up on him the moment you got dough...

[turbid reef]

Too much money and nothing to do with it

Still keeping vagabond

[versed berry]

Why 😭

[humble dune]

Gah that crt

Also keep until the baron

[wary stump]

guys

how i get more slots for jokers?

[humble dune]

...

How do we tell him

[turbid reef]

I burned the money

[last cradle]

the highest resolution for sending embedded playing cards optimized for 1920x1080 screens without scaling (what most users have on this planet (my assumption because not everyone can afford high end screens)) the best resolution is 392x550 pixels

[turbid reef]

Buy them from the shop. It’s 2$ per slot

[last cradle]

now to make the image

[humble dune]

Wow he's really putting the skill to work

[orchid comet]

my judgement just gave me the big bananar

Erosion is a good joker

I love it

[vernal bay]

Yeah it's only taken me like 15 runs to beat purple and orange stake

[humble dune]

Erosion + trading card

[manic talon]

simply get the silver spoon voucher

[humble dune]

What mod is this from?

Is it hot potato?

[manic talon]

beta voucher

[versed berry]

It's from the demo

[vernal bay]

Erosion is like Canio, where it can be good you just gotta have the game give you what you need

[humble dune]

Gah what the

No way

[manic talon]

beta or demo, basically the old version

[humble dune]

That's sick

[versed berry]

Taken out obviously

Because

Yesh

[vernal bay]

An early immolate combined really made me pog tf out when I saw the erosion, because I'm a standard pack girlie

Gotta get those blue seals somehow

[manic talon]

broken ass vouchers

[iron plank]

sorry i was hungry, nom nom

[manic talon]

yea just always draw your 3oak every draw

why not

[humble dune]

I wish these were still in the game because cryptid could've gone so much harder

And ortalaab

[manic talon]

idk cryptid is already broken

[turbid reef]

Ecto!!!

[versed berry]

The idea of impacting future runs when playing makes me very afraid

[humble dune]

It kinda ruins the fun-skill factor for me when playing

[wary stump]

😔

[manic talon]

Hold R deck but somehow worse than erratic

[versed berry]

Erratic is lovely

[humble dune]

But blueprint

[versed berry]

Why the hate

[manic talon]

its Hold R because you reroll to get your desired ranks and suit

[versed berry]

Oh

[humble dune]

Erratic gave me 8 7s and no kings once and I got baron mime 2nd anted 1st shop

Ever since, I've disliked it

[manic talon]

erratic is, okay

[iron plank]

me when the erratic deck is erratic

[versed berry]

I don't restart constantly on it because I already get good direction from the start of the run

[turbid reef]

Chat should I do it

[humble dune]

I got 1 club from my erratic

It was funny

[versed berry]

It also allows me to play flush five on the first small blind
