[proven gulch]

you'll survive

[vocal warren]

so idk what the hell happened in my run but I fucked up somewhere

[proven gulch]

omg photo pog photochad

can i see your deck

[vocal warren]

and idk where because when I do the knife challenge, I mostly focus on the jokers

which has worked everytime ive ran this challenge

so im as stumped as you chat 🧍🏽‍♀️

[nova mantle]

Indeed, specially on THAT one
I remember I took 2 attempts to beat it cuz in the first one I fumbled and forgot to move my dagger, which then promptly ate the trio which was my only x mult and I died

[quick solar]

ALWAYS GAMBLE

[vocal warren]

I love gambling

anyways

[vocal warren]

o7

[nova mantle]

I was deckfixing towards full houses but without that X3 mult I couldn't do much

[vocal warren]

Time to run this challenge back

[proven gulch]

i'd replace mime since you're not that far with golds

[abstract vapor]

I've seen 1 death

[proven gulch]

you can find it later w rebate

[nova mantle]

Good luck fella

You can do it

[vocal warren]

🫡 I'll do my best

[abstract vapor]

You gotta point

[nova mantle]

Man I love these servers emotes I wish I could use anywhere

[proven gulch]

try not to cut more 6s for sixth sense, might be worth setting up for seance too

since your deck isn't that fixed

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[nova mantle]

An angel gains it's wings somewhere each time an invis clones a blueprint

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone is actually really good.

[vernal bay]

Oops, all holographic!

[nova mantle]

egg sweep

[tranquil steppe]

Ancient!!!!

[quick solar]

yikes

[pale wolf]

free overstock reroll into negative wrathful joker on arrowhead run

[vernal bay]

Ancient...

[serene forge]

me when i lie

[quick barn]

Is normal that the first game cannot be contined?

[vernal bay]

I don't like ancient joker

[pale wolf]

whaa

[lyric shore]

weird i don't think so

[quick solar]

is thsi better than foil erosion

[open pier]

help guys

[nova mantle]

Hit the road is a goated x mult too

[vernal bay]

me when I lie

[open pier]

do i cut photo and grab dna

[quick solar]

green at 42 erosion at 28

[serene forge]

i think you should sell everything and hold r

[quick solar]

but erosion and banner are basically my only source of chips

[nova mantle]

Don't sell everything but do hold R

[native rivet]

depends on deckfixing

[serene forge]

planet levels?

you can probbaly take walkie talkie for the polychrome yea

[quick solar]

very low

[nova mantle]

It's selling the egg an option

[serene forge]

uhh dont take it then i dont think

[open pier]

in 14 antes i have yet to find a deja vu

[open pier]

selling the egg is never an option

[nova mantle]

Mmh alright

[lunar zealot]

is baseball card the best joker of all time?

[hybrid tendon]

bbc value

[signal frigate]

One of

[native rivet]

but is most of ur deck i card?

[nova mantle]

Then ya you should for a red seal first then dna

[native rivet]

ya faire

[open pier]

huh

[fading dome]

You found the locked deck https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1238249166753370163 bug! Congratulations, there's nothing you can do on mobile but start a new run

[serene forge]

no red card is

[nova mantle]

Tho make sure to cut that last card, the chances of idol fucking over is low, but never zero

[native rivet]

like a king or sum

[open pier]

oh yeah

[serene forge]

I hate The Idol

[open pier]

i was just getting standards to increase deck size

cuz im lowkey thinking i just need a sock

[craggy gale]

I’m gonna spend 10 years rerolling seeds to find a legendary just for it to be yorick or chicot and immediately die to ante 2 aren’t I

[open pier]

I GOT A DUSK

[nova mantle]

Rick is nice tho

[open pier]

now what to cut

[native rivet]

egg

[open pier]

do i cut the photo

[open pier]

NOOOOOO

[nova mantle]

Egg

The egg must be sold

[craggy gale]

True, I just don’t know if it can reliably get me past ante 2 if I get shit rng

[native rivet]

sry twin hes got to go

[open pier]

but egg💔

if i lose to econ its because of this mistake

[nova mantle]

It had a long and happy life I'll promise it'll be fine

[proven gulch]

does idol always hit

[open pier]

like 30/31

so maybe cut idol

[craggy gale]

So 50/50

[open pier]

pretty much

[pale wolf]

some of yall would pog and then throw the run with that bloodstone I swear

[open pier]

cuz i cant cut idol cuz its negative

[proven gulch]

bloodstone+arrowhead synergy

[nova mantle]

Possibilities ≠ probabilities

[pale wolf]

why would you do this to their game

[nova mantle]

Tho yeah idol can behave like that

[fading dome]

I just can't help ruining random people's games, sorry

[open pier]

i acc hate wheel

ive been foiled 7 times now

[nova mantle]

Poly egg tho...

[nova mantle]

Can you grab it? It looks yummy

[quick solar]

dice actually did something in the end

[pale wolf]

flash card at 10, should i replace with purple joker?? seems potentially cheaper

especially if I get a purple seal

[quick solar]

holy face cards

[eternal anchor]

I did it. C+

[quick solar]

guys it woud br really funny if i pivot to face cards on abanoned

[nova mantle]

Congrats!!

[quick solar]

[steel chasm]

Ah yes, perishable on a card that’s already gonna go away in 5 turns anyway

[nova mantle]

Update your name so fellas here know you're cool and rad

[eternal anchor]

[nova mantle]

Opposite day here

[open pier]

to try and get a red seal king

[nova mantle]

If you got lots of hearts then yeah sure

[quick solar]

now i just need retriggers

[woven tree]

credit card coming in ABSOLUTE CLUTCH

[pale wolf]

if you aren't finding the Jokers you need, it's because you don't have enough money

As long as you reroll enough you will find the Jokers

[nova mantle]

Sixth sense gave me an ankh, said ankh copied sixth and I thought that I wanna achieve that level of ego tbh

[nova mantle]

I js had something like this happen hold on

[crude apex]

jokerless has me drained and detached bro this shit is existential

[nova mantle]

@woven tree

[crude apex]

I will never have the mandate of heaven

[pale wolf]

i skipped the holo, and id skip the brainstorm even if it wasnt perishable

im locked in

[woven tree]

holy

[lucid plank]

I guess I'm committing to the full unga bunga build

[steel chasm]

Funky lineup but could work

[quick solar]

[mortal nimbus]

[open pier]

[open pier]

idek why i got baron

[quick solar]

pillar

eh its whatever

[minor portal]

the splash in question

[quick solar]

i need polychrome to survive

all my poly cards have been played

splash just made things worse but i still wouldve died without it

[jagged torrent]

Are you jacking it?

[quick solar]

the only thing that isnt debuffed is mypurple lol

[pseudo surge]

what boss blind are you playing that's debuffing both hearts and diamonds 😭

[quick solar]

the pillar

[minor portal]

the structure

[quick solar]

pillar + 30 card deck + splash = death

[solid python]

Did you have smeared joker?

[minor portal]

the pillar

[open pier]

chat is this ggs

[pseudo surge]

ohh i thought you're running window/head with smear joker 😭

nvm then

[solid python]

[pale wolf]

[pseudo surge]

[solid python]

I still have it open, I dont want it to end lol

[manic talon]

gimme second to do list, it will be funny

[pale wolf]

i might run out of cards

[scenic mortar]

what do u guys bet

[pale wolf]

chic

[pseudo surge]

checkered deck is fun when you don't have some sore loser telling you "it's too easy"

[quick solar]

yoic

[pseudo surge]

chicot

[solid python]

Canio

[scenic mortar]

canny

[solid python]

HA

I WIN

[minor portal]

cantio

[pale wolf]

belly laughing

[cursive lion]

what is your favourite joker less like "this is the best joker" and more so where you go "yo, it's [blank]!"

for me it's lucky cat, wee joker, and grimbo

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (bloodstone isnt even needed but its fun here)

[cursive lion]

give me the illusion of choice

[scenic mortar]

died to the water immediately after

[manic talon]

would you rather: jack, jack, jack, or jack

[brave goblet]

Purple 2 clearly to make more jacks

[pseudo surge]

bloodstone (i love bloodstone)

[minor portal]

hit the road

[cursive lion]

@manic talon and @serene forge:

[pale wolf]

i nearly had a heart attack

[cursive lion]

hit the road is good i love the art too

[manic talon]

uhh, stencil

[manic talon]

her hate is unperformative, my love is both through action and speech

[pseudo surge]

also vagabond bc of how cool the artwork looks

[cursive lion]

legit went "yo it's wee joker. i fucking love wee. everybody loves wee. all my homies love wee." while testing one of my decks

[cursive lion]

same

[pseudo surge]

i once got a wee to like 6,000 chips

[manic talon]

everytime i see madness i always think if i can take em

[fervent wolf]

I wonder what mine is 🤔

[cursive lion]

i always wonder what the other lumpytouch joker wouldve been

[cursive lion]

hm.. gift card!

[pseudo surge]

was he supposed to do a second one or

[cursive lion]

maybe

it's like this system shock joker

[minor portal]

There was a second joker he made

[fervent wolf]

Hmm, maybe Seance, I wonder

Idk mine

[cunning glen]

o7

[cunning glen]

Highest ante i ever got

[pseudo surge]

prob jimbo

[cursive lion]

the world may never know...

[fervent wolf]

Hmm, it's a mystery

[fervent wolf]

Forever hidden....

[pale wolf]

oh my God I just had the funniest fucking ending to a run I've ever had

[fervent wolf]

What was it

[pale wolf]

converting the video and then uploading as soon as I can

streaking on 2 now

blue→checkered

[fervent wolf]

Is your favorite deck blue deck

[pale wolf]

i have enjoyed it recently for trying to streak

i like green and abandoned a lot too

[cursive lion]

for me my favourite deck is ghost and zodiac

[fervent wolf]

My favs are ghost and erratic

[cursive lion]

zodiac gives you more stuff in the shops and spectral cards and a starting hex is nice

[pale wolf]

zodiac is more balatro

ghost is like, wider balatro

[cursive lion]

MORE!

[fervent wolf]

What about erratic

[cursive lion]

for the colour decks blue would be probably be my favourite since you get another hand but if that doesnt count probably yellow since you start off with more money

[pale wolf]

i hate errati

[vernal bay]

Zodiac and ghost are in my top five decks for sure

[pale wolf]

its balatro but all your instincts about draws and fixing go out the window

at least at the start

[vernal bay]

I like that, it's a nice change-up

[fervent wolf]

You learn to appreciate the ranks, when you get a lot, you build into them

[pseudo surge]

the only good thing about erratic is that one specific seed that gives you 52 10 of spades

[pale wolf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1434737835868688444/InShot_20251102_215220130.mp4?ex=69096b3c&is=690819bc&hm=8f272dfb58ce46d23a9cb8c9d6ae34efbbe1ca112efa77a299c710ab3d737d03&

[fervent wolf]

I had a seed with 11 aces

[pale wolf]

probably my favorite run ending ever

[pseudo surge]

getting vagabond at $122 is crazy 😭

also that clutch at the end is insane

[pale wolf]

watching it back it's hilarious how I play when I'm high

[fervent wolf]

That's crazyyy, the single jack at the end 😭

[pale wolf]

why didnt i look at the deck even once

😭

[nova mantle]

Zodiac is top 3 decks and it isn't 3rd or 2nd

I love me zodiac deck ❤️‍🩹

[nova mortar]

I favorite deck is black deck

[pale wolf]

i unlocked arrowhead again /s

[pseudo surge]

so you didn't even notice the vagabond?? 😭

[pale wolf]

what do you mean, i shook him around

[pseudo surge]

oh right u did

[fervent wolf]

He provided emotional support

[pseudo surge]

also why did you turn that single jack of spades into a club ⁉️😭

[solid python]

What's yalls favorite deck vanilla & modded?

[nova mortar]

Black deck

[solid python]

Completely forgot that one existed lol, but still good

[pseudo surge]

the double tag one i forgot the name

[pale wolf]

I turned a jack of clubs into clubs, and its bc i have purple joker

[thorn rune]

CCD deck because it’s funny to me

[pale wolf]

i like abandoned deck the most

[solid python]

Same, but I gechu

[thorn rune]

For vanilla it’s tough, I like checkered plasma and abandoned

[pseudo surge]

ride the bus goes insane early/mid game on abandoned

[pale wolf]

rtb goes insane any deck

[thorn rune]

Erosion also gets niche use for abandoned

[pale wolf]

abandoned just makes it nearly impossible to even do it accidentally

[pale wolf]

not really

[thorn rune]

Is it starting deck

[pale wolf]

if anything it has a lower cap than normal

[thorn rune]

I might be dum

[pale wolf]

yeah

[thorn rune]

Im dum

[solid python]

My favorites are ghost deck and yellow, easiest gold stake on yellow

[pale wolf]

trick question, what deck is this on

[pseudo surge]

is it a modded deck

[pale wolf]

nope

[pseudo surge]

erratic?

wait nah

[pale wolf]

nah erratic always has 52

[terse vale]

has to be a challenge or something

cus abandoned has 40

oops

[pseudo surge]

thats what i was thinking

[pale wolf]

🤪 jk

[terse vale]

uhh mad world

[pseudo surge]

15 min?

oh

[pale wolf]

no a-10

I wonder if there's anybody out there that's just gotten obsessed with an individual challenge deck and played it to death

[pseudo surge]

me with jokerless

and that one where your chips cap at your money

[nova mantle]

what can i do with this much money

[pseudo surge]

get the voucher

[nova mantle]

holy shiii this ones a nat negative

[pale wolf]

im remaking this image with more jokers

[pale wolf]

incredible

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[pale wolf]

should I add him to the

[tepid skiff]

You hate everything

[ruby seal]

what is the best way to beat gold stake yellow deck?

[pale wolf]

use the beginning money boost to stay above interest cap

[serene forge]

yuck

[pale wolf]

Wait look who's at the door

[quick solar]

guys how good would negative cards be

[ruby seal]

so its just going to max cap early ante as soon as possible?

[pale wolf]

its our friend bloodstone

[pale wolf]

yea money is The ability to see more options which is the most powerful thing besides blue seals

[ruby seal]

okie, thanks

[lost vault]

this one yea

[fervent wolf]

I should add you, I like Uncommon ppl, ppl I don't see everyday, it's cool to me

[lost vault]

[fervent wolf]

True

[lost vault]

u already fred me

[subtle loom]

is ut because youre a baseball card

[lost vault]

i didnt accept cuz i didnt know u

[cunning glen]

Wraith

Drop Todd

If it’s bad wraith take cavendish

my final joker left for C++ is diet cola!! I think it would be quite fitting to play anaglyph for it

[olive escarp]

Ion fw trip

*trio

But I didn’t see ur deck

Wait

It’s same mult but universal

I’m slow

[rugged bloom]

using that as deckfixing

In the end it never really does

[rugged bloom]

what about now

the only thing that matters is going next frfr

[solid tapir]

probably dice

Whats better

First 3x then 1.5x?

Or 1.5 then 3x

[rugged bloom]

1.5x then 3x

[solid tapir]

what

it doesn't matter

[rugged bloom]

but you put a x2 at the start

[obsidian patrol]

It doesnt matter

Only matters when plus mult and x mult are involved

Balatro players

[obsidian patrol]

Hi

[solid tapir]

this is even more confusing now

why do you think the 2x makes a difference (other than the result being numerically larger)

happy?

who would've thunk, it doesn't matter

[exotic orchid]

Got dealt shitty hand early game. Picked up whatever I could to survive lol.

[rugged bloom]

it made a difference, see?

it was 9 before, now it's 4.5

huge difference

[solid tapir]

mhm

[heady narwhal]

early chips
early +mult
early chips
scaling +mult
scaling xmult
looks normal to me

[heady narwhal]

especially for madness where taking eternal jokers with limited longterm value is often the play

[obsidian patrol]

But wheres the synergy

You dont get it

[manic talon]

They should name this property of multiplication

[solid tapir]

true

sounds smart

[hardy fable]

baron and stuntman has no synergy but i still won, you don't need that much synergy you just need chips mult etc etc

now that I think of it this is the worst example

[obsidian patrol]

yeah it was sarcastic

[onyx crane]

Guys

I found a glitch in the ps5 version

The game instantly crashes at 85 handsize once you try to see your deck

[hardy fable]

stuntman has no sense of sarcasm 😎

[hardy fable]

handsize or decksize?

[onyx crane]

Decksize yeah

I was wrong

[hardy fable]

I don't use ps5 so idk

[onyx crane]

Actually the number is lower

Its 65

[obsidian patrol]

You try this more than once?

[onyx crane]

I didnt check the number correctly

[onyx crane]

What

[obsidian patrol]

I mean is it a consistent crash

[onyx crane]

Yes

Its a consitant crash

[manic talon]

It might only be on your ps5 but put it in the bug report anyway

[onyx crane]

Do i reset it to check

I have another ps5 i can check on that one

[manic talon]

You can do the same seed and get to the same decksize yea

[onyx crane]

Will take long but ok

[rough wedge]

Some casual runs I had lying around

[hollow temple]

In what world is this casual!!??

[subtle loom]

acorn is minus 0 to 1 hand

[hasty tendon]

obelisk the goat

[gusty magnet]

"l👀ks inside : still photochad"

[hollow lynx]

i can’t see inside because you’re blocking the whole screen with the win screen

[lunar zealot]

sweet jesus on a pogo stick

[thick haven]

I think i see a dusk

[hollow lynx]

enhance

[royal bobcat]

Probably business card too

[gusty magnet]

mime, chad, photo, business and dusk

lvl 11 ff or smth

[night turret]

Trying to beat this to challge

Challenge*

Should I go for a re run or just try and go for it

Tried to go for it anyway, got only one more ante

[stiff fjord]

matador does not work on the tooth.............................

[obsidian patrol]

matador if being the biggest piece of shit was a job

[humble dune]

I actually found it

[manic talon]

Matador is bad in a way that unique to any other joker in balatro

Its not bad because its weak, but its bad because its effect is unclear and without reason

[hollow lynx]

that’s an awesome opinion where’d u get it

[night turret]

Went for a different challenge and blew it out the water

Sighed when I got madness at first but then realized it was eternal, se he was a god send

[gusty magnet]

beautiful

if only i could ifnd idol now

[hollow lynx]

why would it matter if madness was eternal

[gusty magnet]

yea no i got planted gg

[night turret]

Since madness didn’t destroy the jokers, its ability still activated and gave me 7.5x mult

Which least to say was amazing

[hollow lynx]

so was “it” one of your other jokers

[night turret]

What do you mean

[hollow lynx]

i thought you meant that you were happy because madness itself was eternal

[night turret]

No no, I’m glad it was

[hollow lynx]

but why would that matter is madness can’t destroy itself

[night turret]

Because it was the best scaling mult in this challenge

[night turret]

I’m just saying, since jokers are eternal, it’s an amazing one to have

[hollow lynx]

oh it’s because you’re doing the eternal challenge

found out what it is

thanks boo

[kind wyvern]

I need advice. If I wanted to go for a straights build, how should I start thinning out? Higher cards? Lower? Thin out from both ends? How do I treat aces?

[solid garden]

aaaaaah

so scary :(

[hollow lynx]

sorry boo

oops

[solid garden]

AAAAAAAH

[hollow lynx]

that one’s on me

[sour quail]

another 4 stickered, wee solo

27 gold stickers left

[sour quail]

(Jolly Joker, Sly Joker, Devious Joker, Marble Joker, Steel Joker, Pareidolia, Gros Michel, Business Card, To Do List, Madness, Gift Card, Hallucination, Diet Cola, Castle, Smiley Face, Campfire, Sock and Buskin, Throwback, Rough Gem, Merry Andy, The Idol, Seeing Double, The Order, The Tribe, Bootstraps, Chicot and Perkeo)

[manic talon]

Kill 2s, kings, aces, 3s, basically the terminal ranks

Honestly deckfixing will do less than most other hands, until you delete a lot of cards, handsize however would help a ton

[sour quail]

if you want a straights build, find Shortcut

then you win

[kind wyvern]

Not always an option lol
I had an early eternal runner and then nothing else and since I was stuck with it I wanted to see what I can do

[kind wyvern]

So work towards the middle? Okay interesting

[sour quail]

then find 20 hanged mans

[manic talon]

Yes the middle ranks are the ranks that has the most kind of straights possible

[kind wyvern]

Yes but then what? See thats why I asked lol

[kind wyvern]

Okay got it

[sour quail]

perkeo pog perkeo

[manic talon]

A king has only 2 types of straights
Akqj10 and Kqj109
But an 8 has 5 straights possible from 4 low into Queen high

[manic talon]

Perkeo copy tower into stone joker trust

[sour quail]

truth nuke

[kind wyvern]

I'm playing with a mod that would make that viable I think

[manic talon]

Its literally 25 chips per round, thats like better than 3 wee joker scaling per round

[sour quail]

lol

if you're on a wee run with VAGABOND AND PERKEO you're gonna be getting more than 3 wee triggers

[manic talon]

Ok but imagine vagabond gets you death, thats like 25 more chips

[winter estuary]

Generally for straight build I keep everything from 8-K

But I try to avoid bottlenecks while thinning

So if I get hanged man I would remove a 5 and a 6 over two 7s

[kind wyvern]

Got it! Very good advice I think

[sour quail]

mfw

didnt find a single hanged man to copy

[manic talon]

Shouldve gone the stone joker route 😔

[gusty magnet]

bro threw 💔

couldnt you just have done high card anyway

since u had splash

the chips + foil surely wouldve gotten there

[sour quail]

shrug

[manic talon]

A random HC with 2 foils would be like ~5K so youd need stone cards or HC levels

[exotic orchid]

Business card and vagabond are not a good combo.

Although i guess you can play random throw hands if you have a one shot build.

I usually have credit card with vagabond.

[manic talon]

Its an eternal not like they could sell it

[exotic orchid]

Hmm yeah

[sour quail]

anyways just stickered marble, business card and hallucination with an easy bull run

[royal bobcat]

Erm well that's unoptimal

You are going to the suboptimal play jail

Sentenced to 30 black deck gold stake wins

Be nice and we might change ten of these to plasma wins

[sour quail]

#🕹・game-discussion when you gold sticker a joker by just ignoring it instead of freaking optimising your BUILD....

i think the best way to get gold stickers is negative skipping on anaglyph at first, but then once you have like 20-30 jokers left pivot to plasma runs cause the negative skips become less and less likely to give you unstickered jokers

[cerulean parcel]

Is this a good build for endless?

[royal bobcat]

plasma?

[exotic orchid]

No

[cerulean parcel]

Worked well for me

It’s like 500k using flush

[manic talon]

500K isnt enough for endless

[tawdry burrow]

Sells mail in rebate to use a judgement
Gets mail in rebate from the judgement

[royal bobcat]

why would you sell a rebate in the first place

this was optimal

jimbo blessed you

now don't do it again

[exotic orchid]

I also sold an egg to get judgment. Got egg again.

[sour quail]

easiest early game by far and then you can find blue seals or 1-2 scaling chips to win while you focus on econ and filling your slots with dummy jokers you wanna sticker

and if you dont get lucky enough to win that way just reset

[teal thunder]

GRAH canio :(

[sour quail]

bye baron

[exotic orchid]

Very spacious.

[teal thunder]

canio buddy i have found your use

[teal thunder]

i anhked my double burglar setup to survive the flint

[exotic orchid]

Ah lol.

[teal thunder]

welcome back card sharp

[royal bobcat]

sounds way more convoluted than ghost or yellow deck

[lyric shore]

yeah why would i want to have to get lucky

[royal bobcat]

yellow deck is the most consistent deck and ghost has easy hex/ectoplasm

i mean im not saying dont use plasma ever

its just weird

[lyric shore]

plasma is hard to win on and has nothing to help sticker

[teal thunder]

man i wish i had gotten that ante 1 crystal ball

PLEASSEEE perkeo PLEEAASSEEE

man

[floral mural]

chicot good outside endless

really good

[teal thunder]

yeah

but im in ante 10

[valid abyss]

hey guys whats the best joker in your opinion

in general

[royal bobcat]

rebate

[teal thunder]

the clown pretending to be royalty

reminds me of someone orange

[cerulean parcel]

Brainstorm or throwback

[royal bobcat]

ragebaiting

[valid abyss]

more like

rebating

and the crowd goes WILD

[royal bobcat]

i mean brainstorm is just less cool blueprint

and throwback kinda shi im ngl

[valid abyss]

youre gonna lie?? (he said "gnl" in the original unedited message)

[exotic orchid]

Madness. Almost always a auto win.

[royal bobcat]

madness is compelling

is it true? no

but is it real

and factual

yes

what is real anyway

i can't see reality

[valid abyss]

i think you might be veering a tad off track

get a hold of yourself

[royal bobcat]

no no you can't say that

how dare you say this about madness

why did you say madness should be burned??

the voices in my head...

[valid abyss]

are you.. and hear me out on this one... mad?

[rustic comet]

[royal bobcat]

planted

okay what joker would i say is as good as rebate

card sharp maybe

the issue with blueprint is that it's not inherantly good

so i can't say it's as good

like woah i can get another lusty joker

[tawdry burrow]

H

[heady narwhal]

i think midas mask ≈ rebate

[royal bobcat]

midas? i can see it

it is kind of harder to use, though

maybe cert is rebate tier

idk

maybe im hyping it up too much

[manic talon]

Jimbo, literally always a positive effect

[tawdry burrow]

What in the

[novel rain]

Look at how ridiculous this setup is (also wheel just hit)

[vocal rose]

purple seal nice

[vocal rose]

card sharp isn’t even the best at its own category

[vocal rose]

cavendish

that’s probably the only joker that somewhat comes close

[orchid comet]

brainstorm or bp with rebate is just a rebate which can also provide mult

[lunar zealot]

the top 3 jokers are rebate/cavendish/yorick

with rebate edging the other two out

[orchid comet]

it's calling for me...

do I change anything here

[manic talon]

You dont have to find rebate twice for it to be good

[orchid comet]

I agree rebate is the best econ

I didn't say it's not good

[lunar zealot]

rental red card or dagger

tell you what i haven't had a dagger run in a hot minute

[orchid comet]

same

but it's annoying to keep switching it back and forth if u have xmult

[manic talon]

A dagger without strings is probably better than a rental red card

Especially running no econ

[lunar zealot]

wait do i take that

that's so fucking funny hold on

i could so take that

i have grabber + c9 so it's not too bad for my money

[royal bobcat]

okay but you need rebate before hand though

[floral mural]

it also gives an eternal wall so you dont have to remember to move dagger every time

[lunar zealot]

natural polychrome too

[orchid comet]

maybe astro

for what tho idk

[lunar zealot]

do i take hiero

is the question

[orchid comet]

do I reroll a bit more

[lunar zealot]

i think i prefer the money more than i prefer the -1 ante

but then again it would be funny

[royal bobcat]

i failed to consider cavendish it is true

[lunar zealot]

long term i get more value out of not buying that hiero though

[orchid comet]

yeah true

[fading cobalt]

I must say I'm surprised I havent seen a brainrot deck of 6s and 7s

[vocal rose]

brainstorm isn’t on the same tier as blueprint

it’s like top 15

[lunar zealot]

winning in one hand is bad

i dont get enough speculative obelisk value

[fading cobalt]

Its just situational for them to have a difference. Otherwise they're the exact same

[royal bobcat]

no not really

[novel rain]

This is genuinely the most ridiculous game I've played

[vocal rose]

they aren’t at all

[royal bobcat]

ive had brainstorm in many situations where i was like "damn i wish i had blueprint instead"

[vocal rose]

brainstorm is at max a 2x mult

[fading cobalt]

Yeah which is situational

[royal bobcat]

no?

how often do you have +mult jokers

tell me

[vocal rose]

brainstorm helps with utility way more than scoring

[fading cobalt]

Like every run???

[orchid comet]

that's true

that would've been my point too

[fading cobalt]

Fair enough

[vocal rose]

you can’t effectively copy x mult like blueprint

[royal bobcat]

exactly, so the situation where blueprint is better than brainstorm happens every run.
thats not so situational is it?

[orchid comet]

If u have most +mult and xmult then brainstorm can't copy the xmult without messing up ur joker order

[fading cobalt]

That is the only downside to brainstorm

[royal bobcat]

flabbergasted jimbo poster

[vocal rose]

yes and that’s a big enough downside to bring it down an entire tier

it’s still a pog joker

you don’t get disappointed seeing it

it’s just not on blueprints level

in the top 5

[orchid comet]

yess

[fading cobalt]

Wait maybe I misread your message I thought you said it gets taken down 15 tiers

[wintry ice]

the

[orchid comet]

hello vic

[fading cobalt]

Yeah I misread your message

[vocal rose]

where’s the I can’t read image

[fading cobalt]

My fault

[fading cobalt]

Lmao

[royal bobcat]

kami can re-enact it live

where is she

[fading cobalt]

Damn I can't read

I'm a balatro player

I think the message is different but I forgot it

[lunar zealot]

lmao

[royal bobcat]

thats a lot of gay jokers

[vocal rose]

blueprint not even top 3

[royal bobcat]

real

finally some facts in here

[vocal rose]

sounds crazy to some people

[fading cobalt]

Oh hell yeah popcorn

[vale shale]

Guys

[lunar zealot]

:3

[vale shale]

I'm going to play 1 gold stake run

[fading cobalt]

Most people only think its in top 3 cuz of endless runs

[vale shale]

For the first time in months

[royal bobcat]

since your mouse was over swash i ONLY saw swash and didn't notice the blueprint for an entire minute

[vale shale]

Am I gonna win yes or no

[royal bobcat]

well the thing is, if you have only lusty jokers, it's just another lusty joker

[fading cobalt]

I got it right

Woohoo

[royal bobcat]

it's like diplopia in isaac

do i pog when i see it?

absolutely

[lunar zealot]

i just realized i have 0 xmult

[royal bobcat]

you have 2 polys

[lunar zealot]

what the fuck LMAO

[vale shale]

Mail in rebate

[fading cobalt]

Does copying knife just copy its mult?

[royal bobcat]

more like tunnel vision

[lunar zealot]

yes

[fading cobalt]

Or will blueprint kill knife

[vale shale]

Yes

[wintry ice]

i think blueprint is top 3 due to possibly being economy and scoring in the same slot

[royal bobcat]

blueprint won't kill anything

[royal bobcat]

i think depending on the argument blueprint can be validly put in or out the top 3

it depends how you see it

[fading cobalt]

Shucks

[vale shale]

So like

A polychrome mail in rebate is higher than a blueprint

[fading cobalt]

It would've been funny if blueprint deliberately copied everything about dagger meaning it kills dagger

[wintry ice]

i mean poly rebate is an insane pick

[fading cobalt]

Blueprint is the most situational joker in the game imo

[royal bobcat]

rebat is the best joker for a reason. make it give scoring and thats not even close

[vale shale]

Wait let me hop on balatrino

[royal bobcat]

early rebate makes your run almost free if you draw the right card

[lunar zealot]

BLUEPRINT

AWWWWW

[fading cobalt]

Getting it in low antes is bad in most situations and even in higher antes selling a joker for blueprint can kill run even if copying a joker can technically be good

[royal bobcat]

time to sell blueprint for another invis

:3

[wintry ice]

aren't situational jokers the ones that only work in specific situations

[vale shale]

Yes

[wintry ice]

feed the dagger to the dagger

[lunar zealot]

hmmm

do i beat vv?

[vale shale]

So like blueprint isn't situational at all

[fading cobalt]

Yeah

[shell dagger]

blueprint is one of the least situational jokers in balatro

[wintry ice]

it's like finding obelisk or campfire early on then

[lunar zealot]

the fuck

[vale shale]

Yeah

[lunar zealot]

i mean i'll take it

[wintry ice]

+1 temperance value slot

[vale shale]

Which deck should I do for my first time back

I'll do abandoned

[lunar zealot]

oh i do beat vv

it was just a flint moment

jesus flint cuts my score in half

wtf???

[wintry ice]

unexpected

[fading cobalt]

It kind of is tho

[vale shale]

Yeah that's what flint does

[lunar zealot]

it cuts base chips and mult in half

not my actual score though

[placid cave]

I used more souls than familiar, just realized

[lunar zealot]

DID I JUST DRAW EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY FUCKING BLUE SEALS

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[shell dagger]

In what situation do you not want a flexible copy of your strongest joker?????

[royal bobcat]

when all my jokers r shit

[vale shale]

4oak

[lunar zealot]

gg

[fading cobalt]

Low antes where econ is a higher priority and situations where selling a joker to copy a different joker is bad for score

[shell dagger]

so ante 1

[fading cobalt]

I think you have some blue seals

[shell dagger]

that’s literally it

your second situation doesn’t exist btw

[lunar zealot]

i got a trance + cryptid ante 2

[fading cobalt]

W

[fading cobalt]

It literally does btw

[lunar zealot]

even with stuntman

i somehow drew my blue seals

like

fuckin

[shell dagger]

name an example

[lunar zealot]

semi consistently

i have no idea how

especially considering i almost always won in one hand

so i couldn't dig early

[vale shale]

I don't get the 2nd example

I might be cooked

[deft hearth]

start digging in your deck twin

[royal bobcat]

when i have uh... 4 jimbos and blueprint

[fading cobalt]

Chad, mime, obelisk, constellation and selling chad for blueprint killed me in 2 antes

[lunar zealot]

selling an uncommon to copy baseball card

[shell dagger]

did that really kill you or are you blaming another poor decision on that

[fading cobalt]

Looking back I should've sold obelisk

[quartz ember]

you are playing flush five with 5 of one card in your whole deck and all your jokers are like drunkard and juggler etc

[shell dagger]

im not buying it

[vale shale]

Can someone explain the 2nd example in layman's terms

[royal bobcat]

but they did buy blueprint! 😂

[fading cobalt]

You don't think in a game with hundreds of situations there can be one where you dont buy blueprint??

[shell dagger]

yes of course

that doesn’t make blueprint one of the most situational jokers

[deft hearth]

blueprint isn't rly situational imo

like it just does so much

[shell dagger]

it’s not at all

[fading cobalt]

Not buying blueprint is based on your situation tho? 😭

[shell dagger]

i would guess buying blueprint is correct more than 80% of the time and that’s a lowball

[deft hearth]

definitly like you usually want one good target or scoring to hold it till you get a good target

[shell dagger]

and you’re saying most jokers have a higher number than that

[deft hearth]

like every joker is situational but blueprint is probably one of the least situational ones tbh

[shell dagger]

like most of the commons are already dud pickups after ante 6

[fading cobalt]

With the sole exception of chad

[shell dagger]

no chad isn’t the only one, and I did say most

[deft hearth]

there's also photograph

and econ can be nice

[fading cobalt]

So rebate, chad, photograph

[deft hearth]

like i'll pick up a good econ joker if i dont n eed scoring even somewhat late if im going nedless

[left delta]

What do I replace? Cause the business card is making me so much money…

[wintry ice]

rebate, chad, parking, sometimes photo, hallucination

[shell dagger]

can you reliably get 4oak yet

[orchid comet]

do I get rid of astro for holo

[left delta]

Not reliably yet

[shell dagger]

Getting rid of dice means you make the same money from business card on average while giving you another trio/family

If you’re using luckies too then blueprint is a little worse than dice but not much bc you have chad

You could also ditch family

[orchid comet]

kids in US after they're 18

[left delta]

I’m bunch a fair bit of lucky cards as well

[shell dagger]

It’s already equal for scoring, might as well

[orchid comet]

I did upgrade straight a lot because of astro tho

I'm aiming for $400

for satellite

[vale shale]

I lost to the needle

[orchid comet]

did u lose cuz u couldn't score or smtg else

like playing high card cuz u forgot it was needle

[cloud sinew]

you always lose cuz u couldn't score enough :3

[orchid comet]

muscle memory i meant...

💔

[orchid comet]

oh lilo
