[unreal iron]

FUCK

[nova junco]

So like +3 levels?

[cloud sinew]

no

[orchid comet]

wtf

[cloud sinew]

starts at level 3, so it's +2 levels

[cerulean parcel]

I can see why it wasn’t added though having the gimmick rely on something outside the run is kinda dumb

[still tapir]

what in tarnation

[pale wolf]

The demos had a few things like this

[cloud sinew]

thats exactly why it wasnt added

[shell dagger]

the spoon

[nova junco]

Oh k

[mighty topaz]

the exact opposite of what i want

[cloud sinew]

thunk removed the meta progression that wasnt just unlocking stuff

[pale wolf]

we just met

[cerulean parcel]

130 items in collection to unlock braided btw

[still tapir]

cha/ching

[cloud sinew]

added C++ logic for legendaries but that's fine

[unreal iron]

here comes the moneyyyyyy!

[pale wolf]

[unreal iron]

did it with a handy tag and bootstraps

easiest 400$ of my LIFE

and +162 mult :3

[orchid comet]

do I get the invis to try and invis chad

or open pack

[cerulean parcel]

Anaglyph?

[orchid comet]

probably

[unreal iron]

well can you survive without onyx/drunkard?

[cerulean parcel]

Gros michel is underrated

[orchid comet]

doesn't it have to be anaglyph

[cerulean parcel]

he’s trying his best

[cloud sinew]

i would take the mega first

[unreal iron]

literally a staple early

[orchid comet]

after two money tags u have to defeat boss blind

[orchid comet]

not by me

[orchid comet]

without onyx no

without drunkard yes

[cerulean parcel]

He could have just gotten double tags before this

[cloud sinew]

you can get double tags without being on anaglyph

[cerulean parcel]

What

[cloud sinew]

via skipping or cola

[unreal iron]

probably mega arcana first for more info

[orchid comet]

oh right last ante

[pale wolf]

The whole run

[unreal iron]

gros michel is such a good pickup early on during the run

its not underrated by any means

[pale wolf]

yorick is underrated

[orchid comet]

nothing useful

[cerulean parcel]

Swashbucker and ancient joker is good

[cloud sinew]

the combo doesn't really do much

[unreal iron]

rick: alright stop with the jokes

[orchid comet]

stencil bean cola ft

[still tapir]

these straights are about to look wacky

[orchid comet]

curvy

[white zodiac]

suboptimal score timing

[orchid comet]

ft at 3

[cloud sinew]

drop drunkard for cola and then take stencil

[still tapir]

hanging photo, you arleady won

[cloud sinew]

and then sell out of both :3

[cerulean parcel]

I kinda hate the joker that allows flushes to be made with 4 cards

[orchid comet]

nahh need some mult or jokers that react on card

[cloud sinew]

you have agate

[orchid comet]

moreee

[cloud sinew]

no you dont

[cerulean parcel]

Yorick is kinda shit

[orchid comet]

💔

[cloud sinew]

you have x8 on-score and a very good on-score +mult

[orchid comet]

alright I'll go do that

why cola tho

what's the future plan with it

[cloud sinew]

sell it

[orchid comet]

oh btw drunkard is holographic tho

[cloud sinew]

i know

[orchid comet]

alright

[cloud sinew]

but +10 doesnt do much for you when you have onyx agate and photochad

[orchid comet]

why did I get stencil again

[cloud sinew]

to sell it as well

[orchid comet]

oh lol

sell both buy invis?

[cloud sinew]

mhm

[still tapir]

castole

[orchid comet]

alright thank you

I only one shot boss cuz of +50 from photo 💔

[white zodiac]

obby licks

[unreal iron]

four fingers is cool

[jovial mica]

4 fingers has saved my ancient runs

[uneven jasper]

chat do i keep the foil red card here or do i take erosion ?

[jovial mica]

im not joking lmaoo

[unreal iron]

AJ might just be one my last jokers to gold sticker again

[cloud sinew]

i would keep the foil red card and drop bus if anything

[orchid comet]

would abstract be useless for me

[unreal iron]

i do not like AJ

[still tapir]

but the packs...

[jovial mica]

i got it only once and my run was pretty much shaped from ante 1 round 2

[uneven jasper]

bus is pretty big rn, i got it ante 1, plus it scales consistently since ive snuffed out all face cards

[cloud sinew]

spoken like a true white staker

[jovial mica]

nat1 first shop tho..

[unreal iron]

i cant find AJ ever :(

[white zodiac]

strushes* 👅

[orchid comet]

black deck but I have photochad so it's kind of out of place

[unreal iron]

ive found like 4 DNAs

but NO AJS

HOW

[jovial mica]

HOWWWW

[cloud sinew]

it would basically be useless yes

[orchid comet]

sad

[pale grotto]

I was like 3 ante suffering only with a hallucination holo eternal joker but lucky me now i have photochad

[unreal iron]

over my runs ive found more burnt, htr and dna than AJ

all 3 separately have more encounters than aj

my god

[jovial mica]

holy deck

[still tapir]

smeared is so good with ancient holy

[jovial mica]

yo holy shit i need to unlock smeared

[minor portal]

you need to unlock smeared?

[jovial mica]

seems op with AJ and 4 fingers

i mean ive never seen it in my runs is it an unlockable?

[cloud sinew]

its available from the start

[jovial mica]

oh!

[cloud sinew]

wait

[jovial mica]

then i just have ass luck then lmao

[cloud sinew]

did you mean AJ or Smeared

[jovial mica]

smeared

[cloud sinew]

smeared is an unlockable; have at least 3 wilds in deck

AJ is available at the start

[jovial mica]

i got aj naturally

[jovial mica]

OHHH

lemme check actually

no i dont have smeared...

[cerulean parcel]

Brainstorm is better than blue print

[jovial mica]

most wildcards ive had in a deck at a time is 2

[cloud sinew]

generally no, but there are situations where it can be

[cerulean parcel]

I really like throwback

[cerulean parcel]

Like

[jovial mica]

ive never tried throwback but ive seen it around

[nova junco]

Oh HIIII

[uneven jasper]

yeah i just checked again, bus is at +71 mult soooooo idk if i should drop it

[white zodiac]

acorn, hex

[jovial mica]

HIYAAA

[cerulean parcel]

Free Xmult every skip

[white zodiac]

"free"

[jovial mica]

i rarely skip blinds

i only did once with my AJ flush run

[nova junco]

As you should

[cloud sinew]

is this a question?

[floral mural]

throwback is terrible

not even the xmult saves it

[cloud sinew]

one of the worst xmults for sure

[random ice]

Blackboard is a mood

[floral mural]

its the worst imo since every other xmult doesnt need active sabotage to function

[nova junco]

The worst xMult is photograph because come on you can't even use it in abandoned which is the best deck

[random ice]

It is at least retroactive

[cloud sinew]

are you forgetting about idol and baron

[obsidian patrol]

If you have a polychrome brainstorm and a plus mult joker its better than blueprint

[cerulean parcel]

Yes

[jovial mica]

why would one wanna eliminate hearts

[floral mural]

i did

[cloud sinew]

poly brainstorm is better than poly brainstorm when copying +mult

[random ice]

Blackboard

[floral mural]

i repress them from my mind sorry

[nova junco]

To play another suit

[jovial mica]

and blackboard does?

[cloud sinew]

blackboard

[white zodiac]

worst retroactive one for sure

[still tapir]

with brainstorm/blueprint if you want your score to ride, usually you copy a Xmult joker, which blueprint is perfect at, but with brainstorm you have to put it in the back, so it doesnt multiply the chips/+mult jokers that come after it. so generally id say blueprint.

[cloud sinew]

x3 if all cards in hand are spades or clubs

[jovial mica]

ooooooooh ok

thats pretty good actually

[cerulean parcel]

Stencil is weird

[cloud sinew]

its very good

[nova junco]

It is if you can get it to work

[cloud sinew]

which is very easy to do

[jovial mica]

maybe throw a couple steel diamonds in there too and its extra x mult

[floral mural]

pairs are already the best hand type blackboard easily synergizes with them

[jovial mica]

seeing as the diamonds arent used for much else theres only like 7

[pine cedar]

Anybody know where I can download a joker texture 1x file thing? I've deleted mine by accident

[cloud sinew]

why would you put steel on your diamonds if youre running blackboard

[nova junco]

ALL your held in hand cards need to be spades or clubs

[cloud sinew]

verify your files

[jovial mica]

oh wait i misubnderstood

fuck

[nova junco]

If there's one diamond or heart it's not gonna trigger

[still tapir]

mbalright

[jovial mica]

throw steels on some clubs then, mb

i am the queen of misreading shit

[nova junco]

H-how did you-

[cerulean parcel]

Best hand type

[cloud sinew]

even if there's a stone it won't.
the game checks if the # of cards in hand = the number of spades or clubs in hand
stones aren't spades or clubs, so this check fails

[white zodiac]

2oak

[still tapir]

so close😭 , and yet so far💀

[wind basin]

My man,welcome

[nova junco]

Oh I thought the code would do it in a different way

[pine cedar]

I've done so like yesterday but my 1x file is a 2x one

[unreal iron]

me when i win (again)

[pine cedar]

maybe im just getting something else wrong tho

[pine cedar]

couple months ago when doing things I believe

[floral mural]

blackboard works best with high card?, pairs and 3 of a kind because you have room to toss out diamonds and hearts

[cloud sinew]

theres a 1x and a 2x folder, make sure youre looking in the right one

[nova junco]

Yeah, unless you just don't get any hearts or diamonds anymore

[cloud sinew]

BB works best with high card and pairs, yes

[nova junco]

Due to deckfixing

[floral mural]

since pairs are the most consistent hand and 3x is a lot blackboard is great

[cerulean parcel]

Funny to think that a level 4 high card is better than pretty much every other hand type

[jovial mica]

live laugh love pair

[nova junco]

erm acshually

High card is the most consistent hand 🤓 👆

[cerulean parcel]

Does anyone play royal flush house flush flush five five of a kind as their mains?

[floral mural]

also a trick with blackboard and seeing double is holding a tarot to force out a proc even when impossible

[nova junco]

There's no main it depends on the run

[floral mural]

more pair synergies make it more consistent for winning

[cloud sinew]

you can force runs, you'll just lose more often

[jovial mica]

what kind of mains are those /j
it HEAVILY depends on the run tho

[pale grotto]

Should i pick a holo eternal jimbo?

Ante 1 black deck

[cloud sinew]

yes

[white zodiac]

yeah

[cloud sinew]

yes

[jovial mica]

yes

[floral mural]

every hand type besides full house has a use in specific runs if it wants them

flush is good with ancient

[nova junco]

Are you actually arguing back to probably the sentence with the highest dumbass/word ratio I've ever said

[floral mural]

thats literally it tho

[cloud sinew]

full house also has a use, let's not be slanderous

[robust lance]

It’s for if you’re greedy and want pants with trio

[floral mural]

scaling pants with obelisk?

[white zodiac]

fibby

[jovial mica]

one of my runs had a fullhouse backup, i dont remember which tho

[floral mural]

full house is just bad as a main plan usually

[white zodiac]

was my most recent realistic use case I can think of

[floral mural]

it is still a 5 card hand which is good for on scored i guess

[white zodiac]

yeah

[jovial mica]

it isnt very reliable to come across

[cerulean parcel]

Yep

[pale grotto]

Now i have eternal holo jimbo Green joker bus riff raff and mystic summit

[jovial mica]

just bc 3oak

[white zodiac]

it's only purpose is on scored idk

[nova junco]

Bro has Balatro square joker edition

[white zodiac]

otherwise I laugh

[cloud sinew]

flowerpot works best in straight/fullhouse, also for all two pair + 3oak builds yes

[still tapir]

flush is my main go-to hand because so many amazing jokers complement it. am i wierd???

[cerulean parcel]

No

[nova junco]

Flower pot 4oak is the hand with the most aura in the game tho

[pale grotto]

Should i keep both Green and bus or get rid of bus?

[jovial mica]

nope

[cloud sinew]

4oak 4fingerless tribe*

[floral mural]

name a good flush joker which isnt ancient

[still tapir]

smeared

[cloud sinew]

onyx agate

arrowhead

[floral mural]

good consistent* flush joker

[nova junco]

Every single one of the suit jokers

[jovial mica]

the humble 4 fingers

[still tapir]

uhh

droll😭

[robust lance]

Certificate (trollface)

[cloud sinew]

bloodstone is not a good flush joker, and gem isnt really a flush joker

[floral mural]

the mineral jokers are mostly good actually

[cerulean parcel]

Thoughts on these cards

[still tapir]

best

[cloud sinew]

good bad good bad

[nova junco]

Gem is a flush joker and also it can give you free econ for the whole run within 3 rounds

[cerulean parcel]

My thoughts exactly

[floral mural]

i say mostly because no im not defending bloodstone

[north spindle]

fib

[white zodiac]

gems is a pair jorker 😀

[nova junco]

Why so much bloodstone slander today

[cloud sinew]

flushes rely mostly on scoring from jokers, gem is an econ joker which makes it not well suited for running flushes without supplementing scoring elsewhere

[cloud sinew]

its not slander if its true

[still tapir]

PLASMA IS TOP 3

[cerulean parcel]

Flushes are easy to score and deal a nice amount of points

[cerulean parcel]

Yeah

[nova junco]

Yeah but like play diamond flushes till ante 3 and you're set for the rest of the run

[floral mural]

a 5 card hand needing scaling support from jokers is bad due to drawing issues

[still tapir]

nice

[floral mural]

imo

[shell dagger]

plasma is top 3 in what

[pale grotto]

I sold the bus

[still tapir]

decks

gng

[floral mural]

flushes and full house both get bad planet scaling

[white zodiac]

rage bait decks

[nova junco]

Yeah but arguably flush is the easiest to draw out of the 5 card hands

[shell dagger]

top 3 at doing what, i know its a deck bro

[pale grotto]

Riff raff gave me a negative!!!! He can do that????

[cloud sinew]

flushes scale the worst out of every 5 card hand, and overall theyre the 4th slowest scaling hand in the game;
only hands that scale slower are two pair, pair and high card

[robust lance]

Riff raff is the goat

[still tapir]

riff raff is so good

[jovial mica]

and helps if u have juggler and/or 4 fingers, but it isnt needed

[robust lance]

Probably top 3 jokers for any unserious person

[floral mural]

the issue is still there and all the mineral jokers (minus rough gem) have death boss blinds so im ehh on the hand

[still tapir]

it can give bananer

[floral mural]

or just hate it because what do you mean 15 chips for a 5 card hand level

[pale grotto]

Now i have brainstorm too

[still tapir]

both

[pale grotto]

Goated seed

[nova junco]

A lot of stuff has death boss blinds

[north spindle]

ooh lucky cat is also flushy sometimes

[cloud sinew]

and a lot of stuff is bad

[still tapir]

drop the seed

[jovial mica]

my AJ build being humbled by the eye

bc i didnt level up backup hands quick enough

[shell dagger]

it doesn’t matter so much that rough gem doesn’t work against the window, econ doesn’t need to be consistent to be good but scoring does

[cloud sinew]

if you dont one-shot with AJ then your run is cooked

[white zodiac]

mouth/needle can be a worse boss blind

[cloud sinew]

this is half of why gem > bloodstone

[jovial mica]

ough the needle

i usually aim for my main hand to be a oneshot, but on black deck the ante scaling is terrible

[floral mural]

i literally excluded rough gem from the statement i said

[floral mural]

econ and scaling being halted for a boss blind is nothing compared to just dying

[jovial mica]

so where one flush would work one round it wouldnt the next if the game is allergic to jupiters

[random ice]

It's time to activate my brain

[still tapir]

is this a reasonable 3 of a kind deck

[shell dagger]

i was just saying it, not directed at you in particular

[floral mural]

alright

[still tapir]

card sharp is so underrated

[nova junco]

Proceeds not to show deck

[floral mural]

im just not really ever aiming for full house or flush even as backup plans

seems dumb

[still tapir]

JOKER DECK

[cloud sinew]

card sharp is absolutely not underrated, lobotomy is meta and so is card sharp

[still tapir]

idk what to call it

[cloud sinew]

good

[shell dagger]

labelling things which are good/bad as under/overrated is overrated

[still tapir]

mb

[jovial mica]

pair as backup is alr if u have the planets to back it

[north spindle]

card sharp is overrated
"i do nothing on two of the hardest boss blinds in the game" joker

[nova junco]

Pair can't really work as a backup at least in my experience

[white zodiac]

pair is usually not a backup but a primary

[nova junco]

Unless you're playing high card

[still tapir]

needle then what else

[cloud sinew]

eye

[floral mural]

ima be honest my gameplay is whatever my jokers give me but pairs are what almost every run gives you tools for

[still tapir]

yeah

[jovial mica]

yeah

MY INTERNET IS HORRIBLE WTH

[jovial mica]

exactly

[cloud sinew]

needle is at least able to be countered by burglar which fits into the lobotomy meta anyway, but eye requires you to one-shot or be hand agnostic

[jovial mica]

youll have a harder time finding jokers or planets for much else even mid-run

[north spindle]

if you one shot card sharp is doing nothing

if you're playing random hands ur not getting the x3 mult

[still tapir]

i did not know burglar can counter that

[cloud sinew]

you can force a one-shot once without one-shotting all the time

[still tapir]

if burglar can counter needle, then why cant drunkard counter river?

[wind basin]

I got ramen as I have this

[cloud sinew]

burglar is active, drunkard is passive

[still tapir]

ok

[north spindle]

ik abt burglar
you dont have it usually

there are like
barely any jokers that get shut down hard like card sharp on multiple bosses

[shell dagger]

black board my goat

[still tapir]

give me a joker lineup better than this 🙏

[white zodiac]

three of the mineral jokers, anything that requires on card scoring

[cloud sinew]

sure

[jovial mica]

uh eternal egg is kinda uh

[cloud sinew]

"multiple bosses"

[north spindle]

yes this is where its at

[jovial mica]

yeah good luck

[white zodiac]

"at least 1" 👅

[north spindle]

blackboard: i dont get hard countered by boss blinds B)

[cloud sinew]

blackboard is actually helped by manacle

[vocal rose]

it’s okay

[north spindle]

the worst interaction w blackboard is with water
and its like
not that bad of an interaction either

[vocal rose]

that’s why blackboard is a top 3 joker

[still tapir]

i thougt blackboard was ass

[cloud sinew]

glad that's in the past then

[pale wolf]

blackboard sucks when you forget about it on the first 3 discards of serpent

bottom 30

[north spindle]

id have to think to make sure it was in my top 3
im pretty confident its the second best static xmult in the game tho

[pale grotto]

Im gonna loseeeee

[cloud sinew]

cavendish

[vocal rose]

it is the second best 100%

[shell dagger]

good thing i prep for blackboard speculatively in my runs anyway

[wind basin]

I did just pass the needle so burglar is actually useful

[north spindle]

this is why i said 2nd best lol

[still tapir]

maybe i just suck but how do you have 7 jokers on ante 5

[vocal rose]

it’s like interchangeable with 3-4

being yorick

[cloud sinew]

one negative and black deck

[vocal rose]

as 4th

[shell dagger]

there aren’t that many static xmults, a lot of them are ass

[pale grotto]

Black deck gives you 6 slots of joker and i have a negative from riff raff

[shell dagger]

flower pot and loyalty

[still tapir]

oh

[cloud sinew]

yorick isnt a static xmult

[still tapir]

oakler

[vocal rose]

top 3-4 in general

as jokers

[shell dagger]

blackboard is solidly in second place unless im forgetting something

[vocal rose]

not purely static x mult

[north spindle]

duo/trio/order are all kinda gameing tho

[shell dagger]

yeah

[north spindle]

but
worse than bb lol

[shell dagger]

ramen basically counts as static xmult lmao

[white zodiac]

I wonder what the general consensus of strength is between hologram vs constellation for gs

[cloud sinew]

hologram >

[vocal rose]

constellation imo

[white zodiac]

ok 😐

[scenic mortar]

eternal rental egg my beloved

[pale grotto]

50 more chips are worst than 17 more multi right?

[nova junco]

Omg garlic bread

[cloud sinew]

generally yes

[still tapir]

i got yorick to over times 15 mult, he is diabolical

[jovial mica]

um

[pale grotto]

You scared me there

[still tapir]

HANGING CHAD

[white zodiac]

chips are more scarce as the run plays out

[shell dagger]

holo without dna/cert/marble/voucher scales faster than const without blue seals or vouchers i think

[cloud sinew]

i would take parking here

[nova junco]

Parking is the good choice Chad is the gambling chouce

[random ice]

Lmao this run really required my brain

[north spindle]

oh also baseball is sort of static xmult

[wind basin]

this build is just going into chips

[pale wolf]

I think constellation is better both for being able to find planet in reroll and that the planets increase your scoring at the same time as scaling

[jovial mica]

and then theres jimbo™

[vocal rose]

I prefer the consistency with constellation

[cloud sinew]

standards appear as often as celestials, so i agree

[flat rock]

Oh btw yorick is goated

[random ice]

Got the Obe ante 1 and turned it into a 4.4x by the end

[pale wolf]

also blue seals exist and there aren't any card seals that make cards

[random ice]

Obe is pretty fun to work with

[jovial mica]

this is what the shop is looking like

[still tapir]

how do you get the planet version of 8-ball?

[jovial mica]

if i see a riffraff i am taking it

[nova junco]

Wdym

[vocal rose]

wtf is that

[pale wolf]

You buy space Joker

lol

[still tapir]

lol

but

hold on

[north spindle]

old patch

[cloud sinew]

8ball used to give a random planet if the played hand contained at least 2 8s

[white zodiac]

8 ball origin story

[random ice]

Spoker is way better than 8ball

[cloud sinew]

it was pre 1.0.1f

[nova junco]

Oohhhhhh

[shell dagger]

hasn’t existed since 1.0.0

[pale wolf]

That hasn't existed since before you knew how to read

[north spindle]

it was
bad

[jovial mica]

im skipping shop

[random ice]

Ohhhh old blue 8ball

I remember Blue 8ball

[cloud sinew]

the last patch it was on was 1.0.0n

[pale wolf]

oh God do you think they was changed simply because of the blue ball joke

[still tapir]

ts

[random ice]

My favorite thing about old 8ball is sometimes it still shows up in Tier Lists and confuses people

[shell dagger]

close enough

[white zodiac]

minor calculation error

[cloud sinew]

play on 1.0.0n or earlier

[pale grotto]

Guys remember when i ask and you told me to get the eternal holo jimbo?

[cloud sinew]

yes

[pale grotto]

Now i have 2 of them

[nova junco]

Hell yeah

[cloud sinew]

awesome

[pale wolf]

is that awesome

[jovial mica]

well this sucks

[pale grotto]

Peak Invisible joker

[nova junco]

Yes

[vocal rose]

uranus

[pale grotto]

And with the brainstorm i can copy jimbo

[nova junco]

Uranus

[still tapir]

WHT DIDNT U GET CHAD

[shell dagger]

you couldn’t afford jimbo?

[white zodiac]

speculative 2 2oak build

[shell dagger]

[nova junco]

Because no fun 😔

[jovial mica]

im sensible .

i probably would’ve chadded on black deck

[vocal rose]

[jovial mica]

man i just opened the game

[random ice]

Hell are you doing lmao

[vocal rose]

not taking jimbo is a throwwww

[shell dagger]

im not digging at your decision or anything

[nova junco]

Almost as if balatro gets new players in 2025

[jovial mica]

i shouldve jimbo'd LMAO

[shell dagger]

idk if what i said is correct

[pale wolf]

I thought I was going to be the last new player

[white zodiac]

top 5 worst yearbook quotes

[jovial mica]

do i take splash and reroll or just reroll

[random ice]

I play so much Balatro that when I saw a clown eating chips I tipped my hat and said "blue joker"

[wind basin]

after I sold him,he appeared 3 times

[cloud sinew]

if either of those just reroll, but i would take bus here

[random ice]

I can do worse, wait, give me a sec

weird test: how much does a pair of 10s/face cards get with raised fist doubling a 10/face card

[jovial mica]

so i'll be playing pairs and 2pair for a while then

[vocal rose]

or other jokers

[random ice]

I play so much Balatro that I adopted a child and named him Chicot, gave him a crowbar and demanded he make my "boss disabled"

[cloud sinew]

[white zodiac]

[jovial mica]

so 20 chips, 20 mult

[shell crest]

[white zodiac]

[vocal rose]

[vocal rose]

kinda close

[white zodiac]

oh wait 10

[vocal rose]

omg yes

[glossy furnace]

Castle 😭

[pale wolf]

this wasn't a test this was just you offshoring mental calculation

[random ice]

I play so much Balatro that when I saw a homeless man in real life I demanded he give me tarot cards. When he refused I told him he was perishable.

[uncut slate]

no its a test

[vocal rose]

castle is good

[uncut slate]

and you failed

[cloud sinew]

cause u had more than $4

[vocal rose]

im very readable

[random ice]

SHIT YOU RIGHT

[wind basin]

I sold castle for bean cause I dont have any stickers for it and this is gold stake

[white zodiac]

my dumbass remembered the planet scaling instead of the flat score

[glossy furnace]

If you say so

[vocal rose]

I do say so

[pale wolf]

i say so too

[white zodiac]

and did 5 instead of 10 for fist

[fading dome]

smh zebra

[jovial mica]

well what the FUCK

[obsidian patrol]

I too say so

[vocal rose]

unconditional chip scoring is very solid

[glossy furnace]

[pale wolf]

[vocal rose]

why did roffle start a castle hate agenda

was it actually a valid reason

[glossy furnace]

Idk

[cloud sinew]

he didnt

[glossy furnace]

Someone did

[fading dome]

Let me get on that

[random ice]

Castle is fine

[white zodiac]

good play turned into a endless lobotomy roadblock because castle was eternal

[vocal rose]

he’s spoken pretty badly about castle a lot of times

[pale wolf]

I think the real answer is that he needed an innocuous Joker that nobody had strong personal opinions on, to have a villain for content

[vocal rose]

mmmm I see

[white zodiac]

or so I've been told

[vocal rose]

I know it’s not like a SERIOUS hate thing

[cloud sinew]

the instance that is talked about the most is that he took an eternal castle at a bad time, iirc, and then complained about it and people mistook that as castle being the problem

[vocal rose]

I see

[glossy furnace]

If we just look at @quasi seal tier list

[vocal rose]

what gets more hate square or castle

[pale wolf]

if he's going for endless content he should know that an eternal castle wasn't going to fit anyways

[coral egret]

is this tuff

[still tapir]

try not to kill me for this

[pale wolf]

it might be rough

[vocal rose]

nah

[coral egret]

why

[pale wolf]

wtf is this

[vocal rose]

this is so ASS

[wind basin]

Gonna lose so heres red card

[glossy furnace]

Castle

[trail pier]

Had 4 runs in a row die on ante 3 because i havent found a single +mult joker

[pale wolf]

I haven't even actually looked at what the list is, this way of presenting it is the worst I've ever seen

[vocal rose]

flush most played

[coral egret]

cuz im a sane balatro player

[vocal rose]

understandable

[glossy furnace]

Blue 8 ball?

[still tapir]

i couldnt get it all in 1 ss, idk what possessed me to do ts

[trail pier]

my most played is high card because i can never draw my hands so i have to throw high cards to find my hands

[white zodiac]

wdym you couldnt get it in all one ss 💔

[pale wolf]

The website you're on has an export button

😭

[unreal island]

this might actually be the worst tier list i've ever fucking seen

[still tapir]

i might be smart

[unreal island]

like... did you play the game?

[pale wolf]

I can't wait to see it

[white zodiac]

didn't he put parking below del grat

[pale wolf]

I hope it's completely randomized

[pale wolf]

I still haven't seen the most recent vid where he ranked the joker

[wind basin]

Time to suffer

[orchid comet]

photo chad chad

[unreal island]

i mean valid i'd put delgrat under parking but its more like on the same level

[white zodiac]

I just scrolled to the end and ask what this was

[orchid comet]

do I get andy mandy on this

[white zodiac]

except parking is cracked

[vocal rose]

it’s not valid

[white zodiac]

the tech is pretty straightforward

[random ice]

Dear god

[white zodiac]

especially in the first couple antes

[vocal rose]

del grat is significantly worse than parking

[random ice]

Just make a normal screenshot

[unreal island]

wait im slow

[vocal rose]

im just processing how bad it is 😭

[random ice]

Parking is like B-A tier econ, it's VERY solid

[unreal island]

i thought u said delayed under parking

[pale wolf]

oooh i confused delayed gratification with mime

[unreal island]

not the other way around

[pale wolf]

/s

[unreal island]

what the fwip

[random ice]

If you have hands to burn, Parking can generate some real money

[white zodiac]

[cloud sinew]

delgrat is absolutely deserving of being called the worst econ joker in the game

[pale wolf]

ever heard of showman

[orchid comet]

that's econ?

[cloud sinew]

ragebait

[pale wolf]

showman is everything

[unreal island]

no its an effect joker

[orchid comet]

I thought trading card if u only look at econ

[unreal island]

lmao

[cloud sinew]

everything is everything

[random ice]

BEHOLD, A MAN

[cloud sinew]

trading card is very good actually

[random ice]

Chicken.jpeg

[pale wolf]

fist isnt chips

[unreal island]

weird way of spelling satellite

[still tapir]

i thought parking was smth else

[orchid comet]

cuz it deck fixes though

[coral egret]

mail in rebate best econ joker

[cloud sinew]

thats not the only reason

$3 a round is just golden joker lite

[random ice]

I take Rental Trading cards sometimes because the remove value is still good

[orchid comet]

did u see my ss btw

[orchid comet]

oh true

[cloud sinew]

no

[unreal island]

plus it triggers before interest

[orchid comet]

ok wait

[orchid comet]

here

[pale wolf]

Yes sometimes it's just straight up Golden Joker

[cloud sinew]

satellite is absolutely not the worst econ joker

[orchid comet]

merry andy

[random ice]

Imo Rental Trading is one of my favorite things to see ante 1

[vocal rose]

sometimes straight up golden joker

[pale wolf]

are you my echo

[cloud sinew]

this is what i mean when i say people heavily underrate satellite

[random ice]

Are you my echo

[vocal rose]

yes

but some people try say satellite or matador

[white zodiac]

rental neutral 😀

[vocal rose]

idk why

[orchid comet]

I thought they were joking

I've literally only heard good things about satellite

aside from now

[pale wolf]

huh

[cloud sinew]

we should change that

[unreal island]

wait im slow satellite isnt the worst

its cloud 9

[random ice]

Cloud 9 on an erratic deck with no 9s is worse than delgrat

[vocal rose]

BAIT

[primal grotto]

just got canio on the abandoned deck 😂🔫

[unreal island]

erm no

[random ice]

No it's a setup for the erratic deck

[unreal island]

why tf would i want to make 9s

[cloud sinew]

$10

[white zodiac]

well satellite has its problems but not that egregious

[cloud sinew]

cloud 9

odd todd

[random ice]

Uhhh, what

[pale wolf]

I mean cloud 9 is probably worse than golden joker, just think about it
what if you immolated all your nines

[random ice]

Cloud 9 is just value

[white zodiac]

standard pack/tarots 💔

[vocal rose]

for the joker you’re talking about…?

[orchid comet]

I do get merry andy on double chad photo build, yes?

[unreal island]

ermmm no thank you!

[cloud sinew]

so you can dig for your emergency glad in case of plant, yes

[white zodiac]

c9 I'll take as an eternal rental

[primal grotto]

I got rid of even steven for it and I'm playing only straights with the runner

[orchid comet]

u can also increase all your 9s though

[cloud sinew]

i wouldnt

[orchid comet]

I always thought of it as a better golden joker

[vocal rose]

you’re thinking right

but emphasize on the better

[random ice]

Actually, Business Card on Abandoned deck is the worst econ joker

[cloud sinew]

c9 is usually a better golden joker, yes

[unreal island]

maybe i need more nine runs idk but i dont find myself taking c9 unless its like "i guess i'll take it"

[random ice]

NO WAIT

[pale wolf]

could always have pareidolia

[random ice]

To the moon on green deck

[white zodiac]

why not
I can scale it
prob not a sole a1 pick but otherwise

[random ice]

To the moon on green deck

[cloud sinew]

you take c9 in almost all scenarios you'd also take golden joker

[pale wolf]

there you go

[random ice]

Objectively useless

[vocal rose]

it’s at the minimum an equal to golden joker

[primal grotto]

c9 on erratic deck with no 9s is the same

[jovial mica]

the only skip i'll ever do

[vocal rose]

unless you preemptively remove 9s for some reason

[cloud sinew]

because thats a joker slot for the potential of extra econ, not actually giving econ rn

[vocal rose]

and base your judgement off that

[random ice]

TTM on Green Deck can never be useful outside of baseball

[vocal rose]

which is strange

[cloud sinew]

abstract
dagger

[pale wolf]

I wish I could find the original argument in this channel about that guy that actually thought cloud 9 was worse than golden Joker

[unreal island]

me with my deck with no or one nines:

[random ice]

Campfire

[cloud sinew]

"almost all scenarios" i see you cant read

[primal grotto]

You're on white stake skip everything

[white zodiac]

insert the potential joker slide

[orchid comet]

forgot I also have rebate

[jovial mica]

holy shit oa6

[orchid comet]

merry andy is so useful

[cloud sinew]

that says Not Discovered

[unreal island]

i mean tbh when i come across c9 i already got rid of a bunch of my nines taht its not worth

[jovial mica]

im on black deck with 2 jokers

[orchid comet]

U got the name wrong

[shell dagger]

guess who is higher out of holo and canio

[vocal rose]

just a question, what game context do you think we’re talking about c9 with?

[jovial mica]

i unlocked it 2 days ago

[vocal rose]

endless? or gold stake

[orchid comet]

holo

[pale wolf]

holo

[random ice]

Holo

[cloud sinew]

why did you get rid of a bunch of 9s first

[unreal island]

red stake

[random ice]

We know it's Holo lmao

[shell dagger]

trick question they are both at 7x

[primal grotto]

Yeah get those free negative rare uncommon foil holographic polychromes

[jovial mica]

oh so what is that lmao

[pale wolf]

immolate!!!!

[still tapir]

i was bored in math class

[pale wolf]

Not Discovered

[orchid comet]

Not Discovered

[unreal island]

ok maybe im just not making my deck built for c9

[vocal rose]

why are you preemptively getting rid of 9s

[jovial mica]

LMAO

[white zodiac]

why do I hurt myself

[vocal rose]

no it’s not that

[random ice]

HEY THATS BORDERLINE IMPOSSIBLE

[unreal island]

i hate 9s

[cloud sinew]

your deck is already built for c9 at base...
you start with 4 of them on every deck but erratic

[random ice]

You need to dupe the Gros before one dies

To get Gros and Cavendish

[vocal rose]

you’re HURTING 9 by straight up getting rid of them and then wondering why cloud 9 is shit

[pale wolf]

WRONG!

[unreal island]

and besides i get bored when i kill all my 7s what am i supposed to kill now

[cloud sinew]

im waiting

[jovial mica]

on a real do i get it tho

[primal grotto]

Showman goes crazy

[cloud sinew]

aces

[vocal rose]

someone make an analogy for what he’s doing to explain it better

[primal grotto]

me describing the plot of joker (2019)

[vocal rose]

since i can’t think of one

[unreal island]

ok maybe i should start killing aces instead of nines

[glossy furnace]

Why is there a blue 8ball

[unreal island]

goodbye scholar!

[cloud sinew]

there isn't.
there was a blue 8ball

[pale wolf]

WRONG!

[unreal island]

no more blueballing

[cloud sinew]

c9 is better than scholar, generally, so

[cloud sinew]

:3

[still tapir]

blue 8balll did the same as regular ball, but planet instead of tarot i think

[cloud sinew]

no

[still tapir]

?

[white zodiac]

playing 2 8s

[still tapir]

oh yeah mb

[cloud sinew]

it wasnt chance based, it was "create a planet card if played hand contains 2 or more 8s"

[unreal island]

oh now thats

thats kinda

ew

[still tapir]

no species of 8-ball is valid💔

[cloud sinew]

it was basically better vagabond before that as well

[pale wolf]

thats actively self-sabotaging

[shell dagger]

it sucked

[pale wolf]

play 8s, get planet card to overscore and play less 8s

[cloud sinew]

it was originally "create a tarot card if played hand contains 2 or more 8s"

[pale wolf]

I think current 8-ball is the best both for the meta and for theming

[unreal island]

i love playing into 8 ball and getting back an earth 🥹

[still tapir]

is there a specific reason to blue 8-ball getting banished

was it just too good

[pale wolf]

it sucked

[cloud sinew]

it was not good

[still tapir]

💀

[cloud sinew]

it sucked ass

[still tapir]

ik

[jovial mica]

it's way too specific

[cloud sinew]

a random planet is worse than a random tarot as well

[jovial mica]

it'd make sense if the rank changed every round like AJ

[cloud sinew]

how

[jovial mica]

but that defeats the point

its an 8 ball not an every number everywhere ball

[glossy furnace]

Fr

[still tapir]

isnt that arleady a joker, or really close to one

[cloud sinew]

precisely why it's specific to 8s

[jovial mica]

its a touch more reliable

[white zodiac]

yeah let's just make it worse by making it not self enabling

[pale wolf]

Triangulation (Rare)
Only played hands' planet cards appear in shop

[white zodiac]

and more inconsistent

[jovial mica]

oh!

oh ok that i did not know

[pale wolf]

It's not real

[unreal island]

"dude can i stop getting FUCKING JUPITERS!!!!"

[thorny axle]

W 8BALL

[cloud sinew]

stop playing flushes then

[shell dagger]

if it was like aj then you wouldn’t be able to fix for it

so less reliable

[unreal island]

ante 1:

[cloud sinew]

if youre playing flushes and you only get jupiters then you just win

[white zodiac]

makes more sense as a voucher

[still tapir]

88888 BALLLLLL

[cloud sinew]

it would be incredibly strong either way, i dont like it

[jovial mica]

theres a voucher for that no? its like most played hand appears in the shop

[pale wolf]

idk it's like an anti-showman

[jovial mica]

or something

[pale wolf]

I disagree with the sentiment that showman should be a voucher

[still tapir]

telescope

yer

[vocal rose]

telescope most played hand appears in celestial pack guaranteed

[cloud sinew]

no, telescope makes your most played hand appear in celestial packs

[jovial mica]

thats the one, telescope

[cloud sinew]

i agree, i think showman should just be buffed to increase the chance to get things you already have compared to base

[jovial mica]

speaking of telescope

[unreal island]

there should be a voucher that chooses a random rank and suit and then all scored cards of that rank and suit give x2 mult

that'd be cool i think

[vocal rose]

I love telescope

[random ice]

Telescope is good

[still tapir]

8ball is the best joker of all time

in the world

im so early game too it makes pivoting so easy

[still tapir]

voucher idea

[random ice]

Telescope is my third most taken voucher

[unreal island]

can't you read!

[thorny axle]

+4 mult

[pale wolf]

yea there should be a chips voucher that just adds 1000 chips to your scoring 🙂 🙂

[vocal rose]

I don’t think they’re joking

[unreal island]

TRUE!

[vocal rose]

half joking perhaps

[unreal island]

do i look like i give 20 mult when you play a hand with 3 or less cards

[cloud sinew]

[still tapir]

this isnt an origional idea

[primal grotto]

Yeah he's great when you get him early, he's a 435 and straights are easier to get on the abandoned deck

[cloud sinew]

the consecutive cards dont need to have consecutive ranks, it just needs to be consecutive ranks

[unreal island]

mmm yummy spectrals...

[white zodiac]

erm suboptimal ev

[still tapir]

yeah but i couldnt win with him

[cloud sinew]

thats not the same as flipping something

imagine i get immolate

[robust lance]

how it feels to wait for a singular death

[unreal island]

so 3's count as omegas?

[pale wolf]

upside down is a rotation

[cloud sinew]

[cloud sinew]

you have blueprint which makes it 4^x instead of 2^x
