W

[wintry ice]

2 jokers isn't enough to be an actual risk

and yorick definitely still works with grimbo

[pale wolf]

It's the same with other high value discards like rebate or purple seals, they are still worth it

[wintry ice]

i would trade +2 mult for like 0.4x mult

[unreal iron]

eternal burger + yorick

yummers

[vale shale]

How do you balirtro

[pale wolf]

with vampire I regularly trade +4 mult for .1X

so yeah

[wintry ice]

actually each mult card is +1 mult on average because they are only active for 1 hand

[marsh goblet]

u can increase ur game speed in the settings btw

[atomic lagoon]

oh thank u

[pale wolf]

Not quite sure that's how it works

lol

[vale shale]

[dense wraith]

also does anyone specifically use three of a kind in their builds? doesn't it just redirect to full house or 4 oak?

[pale wolf]

Three of a kind is a good middleman between the consistency of drawing pairs and the benefits of having multiple of the same rank for some Jokers

decent scaling on both chips and molt

[placid cave]

random question: which booster pack would you like to try if they were candy bar

[atomic lagoon]

celestial

[pale wolf]

I can tell you that the banner buffoon pack tastes like shit for sure

[atomic lagoon]

any of them

[dense wraith]

I still think it's just not consistent enough to scale on or be worth

[atomic lagoon]

they’d have like those things inside the chocolate that makes ur tongue tingle

[marsh goblet]

awesome that's gonna be a headache

[unreal iron]

nice inbetween from pairs and 4oak

yeah its definitely not 4oak powerful buuut it is technically better than 2oak

(pairs)

[pale wolf]

it is definitely not better than pairs

[unreal iron]

trio is pretty good with it, obelisk gives some nice pivot potential

[pale wolf]

but it's a viable hand especially if you run into certain Jokers, maybe half or trio

[unreal iron]

technically, assuming no jokers

[wintry ice]

i think i'd rsther play half with pairs

[pale wolf]

I don't know why you would assume no Jokers though

[atomic lagoon]

pair build got me to my first win lowk cracked

[wintry ice]

but having a large hand scaled for safety is good

[pale wolf]

I also like three of a kind on parking runs

[atomic lagoon]

just kept discarding until i got fibonacci numbers and lots of kings to boost

[unreal iron]

isnt high card better tho

[dim heron]

literally any spectral

[unreal iron]

ig 3oak is for when you draw all your kings or something

[dawn gulch]

3oak just felt great to play in general

[lucid plank]

I'm addicted to flush builds

[near sail]

Can someone help me test a joker of a mod that im making on call please?

[unreal iron]

spoken like a true white staker

[atomic lagoon]

full house is fun but never got me a win

[acoustic kettle]

I flushed on gold

[unreal iron]

full house might just be the worst hand in the game

[lucid plank]

Yet I have plenty of gold stakes

[atomic lagoon]

i wouldn’t know i’m new

[marsh goblet]

first time i've gotten a level 100 hand

[acoustic kettle]

Never got one

[unreal iron]

not saying flushed dont work in gold stake but theyre so rare to pull off

[acoustic kettle]

My highest was 70 something

[unreal iron]

very specific jokers that you need for it

[pale wolf]

if you score with high card then you're not going to get much parking money

[near sail]

Can someone help me?

[wintry ice]

it's better to get a second 3oak than play the full house if you have any planets on it

[unreal iron]

#⚙・modding-general

:3

[pale wolf]

how bout streaks

;p

[unreal iron]

still got a pb streak of 4

[acoustic kettle]

What is streaking anyway

[unreal iron]

not on a specific deck or anything tho

[wintry ice]

same

[pale wolf]

winning without losing/ resetting

[unreal iron]

winning, back to back

[lucid plank]

I had a great parking hiker build going last night

[acoustic kettle]

Does white stake wins count

[dense wraith]

also how much control do you have with flower pot?

[pale wolf]

if you specify white steak sure

[unreal iron]

yes but true streaking is gold stake

[pale wolf]

I'm not sure anybody will care about a white stake streak though

[unreal iron]

yeah

[acoustic kettle]

Right

[wintry ice]

you kinda have to use it as a scuffed order

[pale wolf]

My white stake streak potential is probably hundreds

[acoustic kettle]

I think my best gold streak on flushes was like 3

[wintry ice]

unless you have splash

[brisk crown]

This seed is getting out of hand

[unreal iron]

could try wild cards

for "more control"

[pale wolf]

honestly might not even be worth

[dense wraith]

quite rare to get though

[wintry ice]

depends on how much they need todd

[unreal iron]

tarot generation?

[marsh goblet]

THERE IT IS

[unreal iron]

sun, moon, etc

[acoustic kettle]

27x cavendish

[pale wolf]

I guess you could kill invisible since it's not technically doing anything so you won't die from losing it, or if todds not survival

[acoustic kettle]

What odd todd is for

[unreal iron]

HOLY INCANTATION 🔥🔥🔥

[dense wraith]

each lover card you get can only make 1 wild card too

[brisk crown]

I have level 6 full house, level 5 4oak and it’s doing fine

[acoustic kettle]

Lovers sucks

[pale wolf]

lovers would still suck if it was 2 cards

[unreal iron]

you kinda need to fix towards wild cards if you do use flower pot

[pale wolf]

why is it one :c

[acoustic kettle]

Wild cards suck in general

[unreal iron]

sacrifice you have to make imo

unless if you just dont use flower pot

cuz its legit ass

[pale wolf]

I mean yeah obviously you make the wilds if you have the applicable Jokers

[acoustic kettle]

Thunk even forgot to make a joker about wild cards

[pale wolf]

lovers goes from bottom 1 tarot to top 5 with aj or flowerpot

[unreal iron]

i mean technically suit jokers

[pale wolf]

smeared is a wild unlock

[acoustic kettle]

There is no jokers that like

[fading cobalt]

Surely more worth than todd tho?

[acoustic kettle]

Needs wild cards to appear

[fading cobalt]

Actually you're right

[acoustic kettle]

Glass steel gold stone has one

[pale wolf]

depends on context, hand levels

[fading cobalt]

Yeah

[pale wolf]

as ever

[fading cobalt]

Cavendish would be best sell technically

Unless you get perkeo or chicot

[pale wolf]

hel.no

[acoustic kettle]

Why would you sell certainty for a gamble

[unreal iron]

and just what exactly would the joker do?

[fading cobalt]

Well if you get canio, trib or yorick then you have a better x mult?

[unreal iron]

if it did exist

[pale wolf]

1. its abandoned, so trib is useless and canio is a little extra effort, not worth at ante 7 methinks

[wintry ice]

getting yorick or canio would still be a throw

[fading cobalt]

Oh I didn't see its abandoned

[wintry ice]

since they need time to scale

[white zodiac]

let me just divide my score my 27 certainly I'll still survive

[fading cobalt]

I didn't see it was ante 7 either

[pale wolf]

perkeo similarly is much better earlier in the run

chicot would be nice i suppose

[dense wraith]

Flower pot just sounds like blackboard but you have to actually make poker hands for it's condition

[unreal iron]

which is why it sucks for an x3

[pale wolf]

In that they look at suits, sure

[acoustic kettle]

Bb is way more consistent though

[unreal iron]

at least compared to everything else

[acoustic kettle]

And much easier

[brisk crown]

Got Chicot, so we’re rocking with this now

[unreal iron]

why

[pale wolf]

a non-card suit effect

[acoustic kettle]

Why though

Chicot is not bad

[pale wolf]

what???

okay well I'm not giving you any advice anymore

[acoustic kettle]

Chigoat died for scholar💔

[pale wolf]

That is one of the most heinous decisions I've ever seen

[wintry ice]

they sold a decent safety joker for a joker that's useless this late into the game

[unreal iron]

chigoat

literally saved the run ong

(and the 4 wheels i hit holographic)

[pale wolf]

I mean I assume with four cavs on green stake violet vessel is probably still a wash

[acoustic kettle]

Now cav will break for that sin you committed

And you die

[cloud sinew]

balado

[pale wolf]

but it's about good habits for higher stakes

[astral gulch]

i wish there was vc im bored asf. plus i wanna stream my interesting duble tag streak.

[unreal iron]

would love a vc in this server honestly

sounds like a lot of fun :3

[acoustic kettle]

extincts

[pale wolf]

How

[acoustic kettle]

[marsh goblet]

e32 with two glass

[unreal iron]

i was getting very bad bosses but i had chicot since ante 3

[pale wolf]

oooh

okey

[unreal iron]

and it kinda clutched honestly

[fading cobalt]

Praying for his downfall

[brisk crown]

How about this then

[unreal iron]

extremely rough early game since no +mult either

[acoustic kettle]

What the hell

[pale wolf]

when i have chicot i kinda ignore the bosses so i dont even know how much he helped
then again thats why he helps

[glacial iron]

got this build on ante 4, wish me luck 😁

[tranquil cedar]

gay stone

[unreal iron]

somehow hit 4 holo wheels and i won

[acoustic kettle]

What the fuck am i even seeing anymore

[pale wolf]

dna is lost

[acoustic kettle]

Sell scholar for rebate

[tranquil cedar]

bought eternal dice hoping for shitstone and look who showed up next shop

[glacial iron]

wdym

[pale wolf]

why did you

[wintry ice]

i'd rather have sold scholar for it if you bought any mars at all

[pale wolf]

I mean I guess it depends on what cards you have to copy

[tranquil cedar]

for the memes

[pale wolf]

it feels just like a wasted supernova scale though

[acoustic kettle]

Selling cav for that is crazy work

[tranquil cedar]

even trib showed up to the party lol

[pale wolf]

You're trolling

😭

[glacial iron]

ahhhhhhh true..... i'll sell it if i find something better

im going for a pair build so im just maximising aces atm

[white zodiac]

I plead the fifth

[pale wolf]

I mean the good part about pairs is that you don't have to focus on any rank

[brisk crown]

9 sevens, picked up holo trading card

[pale wolf]

dna is more for enabling a pivot to flush five in the future but that's not usually necessary

[pale wolf]

why the fuck did you keep the useless scholar

[glacial iron]

alr should i sell dna for ballot

[acoustic kettle]

Rebate slot

[pale wolf]

why would you sell Cavendish

[white zodiac]

hungry

[unreal iron]

but... +20 chips...

[pale wolf]

That's eating not selling, if the fruit salesman eats all their cavendishes then they won't have banana to sell

[wintry ice]

why would you take scholar in the first place

[acoustic kettle]

Selling cavendish before scholar is

A choice

Not a good one

But a choice

[unreal iron]

chat can we learn how to play the game

please

[brisk crown]

Sold scholar for trading card

[atomic lagoon]

pair baron run was cracked

[pale wolf]

sold chicot for scholar
then sold CAVENDISH FOR FAMBLY

[glacial iron]

not all at once guys

[unreal iron]

gold stake shenanigans clearly

[pale wolf]

screenshot context usually helps, what's in your deck

[brisk crown]

Scholar for flat mult

[orchid comet]

W

[wintry ice]

if you don't have anything worth copying then sure

[acoustic kettle]

Why would you need flat mult when x81 cavendish is right there

[pale wolf]

scholar gives 4 mult
cavendish is a 3x
if your base mult is literally anything except one you just downgraded

[unreal iron]

💀

you can ditch +mult if you have enough xmult and planet levels...

[acoustic kettle]

But but

[wintry ice]

7s are your most common rank though

[unreal iron]

its not something you always need

[acoustic kettle]

20 chips

[left juniper]

wait is selling Cavendish bad

[orchid comet]

yes usually

[pale wolf]

It's very rare for it to be the correct decision especially before endless

[white zodiac]

I refuse to answer this question

[unreal iron]

in his situation (bp and bs) yes

[orchid comet]

unless ur aiming for a specific joker set

cavendish is considered one of the best jokers

[unreal iron]

but even then you dont usually sell cavendish

[acoustic kettle]

Used my cavendish to buy monkeys

[unreal iron]

unless perishable or something

[pale wolf]

if it werent so difficult to procure it would be the best

[acoustic kettle]

Needed to stop balloons

[orchid comet]

real

[left juniper]

Guys Im baiting dw. Where was the original screenshot? I missed the joker lineup

[orchid comet]

cavendih

[pale wolf]

https://youtu.be/j5C6X9vOEkU?si=SzBI_M7pY1wu-S58

[left juniper]

Should I sell MY Cavendish?

[unreal iron]

@left juniper

[acoustic kettle]

Why

[unreal iron]

temperamce value...

[acoustic kettle]

Temp value

[north spindle]

x3 is pretty hard to beat for sure

[left juniper]

Ayyy ty for the context. Yeah selling Cavendish was a bad choice

[orchid comet]

x3 without any requirements

[unreal iron]

for family and THEN selling chicot for scholar

[pale wolf]

3x without requirements?? we talkin about blackboard ofc

[left juniper]

That's why Blackboard is good

[unreal iron]

holy troll

[north spindle]

i mean
its hard to beat in general
not many things can do better

[left juniper]

Zeba is too fast

[pale wolf]

other order around

[acoustic kettle]

No no it was odd todd > chicot > scholar

[white zodiac]

the slop starts with

[acoustic kettle]

Then cavendish for family

[wintry ice]

the (name) is typind bar sunk into the typing bar

[unreal iron]

could you possibly force straights on plasma deck?

[north spindle]

like the only things that go over 3x are 4oak rare joker, loyalty card, and scalers iirc

[left juniper]

omg

[unreal iron]

mfers get ONE decent run and then thats all they wanna do istg

[pale wolf]

it was like watching someone trade in their 6 seater 2025 escalade for a 30 year old used short school bus

[acoustic kettle]

Easier to force flushes

But possible

[wintry ice]

most stable discord feature

[pale wolf]

lurking

[unreal iron]

+15/2 i'd much rather play two pair at that point

[white zodiac]

vic is typing

[acoustic kettle]

I like flushes because more arrowhead hits

More bonus cards

[pale wolf]

thats arrowhead not flushes tbh

[left juniper]

I like flushes because colour match easy monkey brain good

[acoustic kettle]

Exactly

[unreal iron]

yummers

[acoustic kettle]

I just discovered high contrast

Makes playing flushes easier than ever

[lunar zealot]

Balatro player discovers basic fact about the game

More at 11

[unreal iron]

isnt the game defaulted to high contrast??

[acoustic kettle]

200 hours into the game btw

[orchid comet]

I realised how much I overlooked straights once I actually started aiming for them

[unreal iron]

gotta love insane chip scaling

[acoustic kettle]

It's not

[orchid comet]

fr

[unreal iron]

its just a really hard hand to play around with

[orchid comet]

nope

[marsh goblet]

hey guys is this enough flush 5 levels

[unreal iron]

thats crazy

[orchid comet]

one of my first mistakes was adding a spade in a club flush

aside from downloading balatro

[acoustic kettle]

I did that all the time

[white zodiac]

yeah

[unreal iron]

enough to one shot violet vessel without any help :3

[acoustic kettle]

I just opened settings for the SECOND time

[orchid comet]

damn

[acoustic kettle]

The first time was when i started to up the game speed

I was like

What's high contrast

[orchid comet]

high contrast saved me after my first

[acoustic kettle]

Turned it on

Blew my mind

[orchid comet]

the first video on balatro I watched was from markiplier and he also said high contrast good

[white zodiac]

turned on x4 speed immediately

[unreal iron]

x4 speed and high contrast are STAPLES

[orchid comet]

it's crazy how much faster x2 is

[acoustic kettle]

I only up the speed

[orchid comet]

a single run took me days with x1

[unreal iron]

screenshake made me extremely dizzy so i used reduced motion for a while

[acoustic kettle]

Then never opened the settings EVER again

[orchid comet]

I'm never going x4 tho I wanna see what my cards r doing

[acoustic kettle]

High contrast has been a revelation

[orchid comet]

jokers*

[manic talon]

zero screenshake zero CRT

[acoustic kettle]

An eye opening experience

[unreal iron]

you get used to the speed at one point tho

[unreal iron]

CRT gives a nice vibe i kinda like it

[orchid comet]

maybe after I get used to x2

I will

[white zodiac]

I have high contrast off, don't really okay flushes and card art isn't obstructed with single shade colors

[orchid comet]

real

I never got it to 0

it feels like a part of balatro

[white zodiac]

I turned it off for clarity

[unreal iron]

screenshake was such a problem when i started out and it still is

[acoustic kettle]

Only discovered high contrast like 200 hours into the game

I'm doing good

[unreal iron]

dogshit setting honestly

i dont understand why

[acoustic kettle]

I love screenshake

SHAKE ON MY FACE

[unreal iron]

it makes me SO dizzy

[orchid comet]

rn going from 1x to 2x feels too fast

there needs to be a 1.5x

[orchid comet]

there's screen shake?

[white zodiac]

there needs to be an x6

[orchid comet]

recoil on score or something?

[unreal iron]

yes its absolutely nauseating

[lucid plank]

I use high contrast cause it's hard to see what's what if I don't

[orchid comet]

basically everyone:

[acoustic kettle]

I downloaded handy just for x512 speed

[orchid comet]

except waffles

[acoustic kettle]

[lucid plank]

At least we have the option to turn off screen shake

[orchid comet]

ooo smiley face in ur name

[pale wolf]

screenshake is legitimately horrible

[unreal iron]

thank you <3

[acoustic kettle]

Screenshake is AMAZING

Shake shake

[pale wolf]

It's nauseating

[orchid comet]

I'll try it next time I play

I think I have it off since day 1

[acoustic kettle]

And i have motion sickness

I love screen shake tho

[pale wolf]

yeah I wonder why

[unreal iron]

horrible

[acoustic kettle]

No i get it playing like minecraft

I love screenshake balatro

[lucid plank]

I couldn't play no man's sky for a long time cause it was an on screen earthquake every step you took. I learned how to mod it just so I could remove the screen shake. It took them YEARS to add an option to disable it in settings

[orchid comet]

is ur minecraft on airplane mode isn't it supposed to be peaceful

[marsh goblet]

welp, i have pretty much everything. i don't think anything i do this run will make a large difference in my score from this point forward. time to see how high im gonna score

[acoustic kettle]

It's nauseating

[lucid plank]

No poly moment

[acoustic kettle]

I'm genuinely getting sick playing just an hour

[lucid plank]

🫡

[marsh goblet]

e42

very nice

[glacial iron]

swapped out the dna for ballot, got to ante 10

[marsh goblet]

dead either next ante or the ante after the next

[glacial iron]

my like. third ever balatro win

[lucid plank]

Unless you find poly and enough fixing to get lots of them

You can dream

[pale wolf]

when I played it I didn't notice any

tbh

[acoustic kettle]

Selective shake hate

[stiff fjord]

i don't notice screenshake until i watch other people's gameplay where they have it turned off and it's so jarring

[lucid plank]

Not sure how you wouldn't it's the worst camera motion of any game ever in default first person

[pale wolf]

idk it's been years

maybe it was before they had screenshake on walking

[lucid plank]

Maybe you just don't remember it

[acoustic kettle]

Smh hating balatro shake

I want that jimbo to shake

[lucid plank]

The most based take ever

Some of us puke if games have a lot of extra movement

[marsh goblet]

im out of glass 🥀

[lucid plank]

Actually a skill issue

🫡

Gg

[marsh goblet]

gg

[lunar zealot]

shoulda discarded

lol

[acoustic kettle]

my beloved

[lucid plank]

Rental Golden is hilarious

[lunar zealot]

it's technically a net positive if you're above interest threshold

[pale wolf]

disgusting

[lucid plank]

Technically yes, but $1 per round is ass value

[astral gulch]

seed that has polychrome (hexed) triboulet from skipping a blind ante one, eventually builds up to, reserved parking, holographic business card, sock and buskin, hanging chad, smiley face, swashbuckler and giftcard (to compliment swash) plus some others i coulndt remember

[acoustic kettle]

another contender of being the greatest joker

[lofty mist]

Perfection

[pale wolf]

incredible

call panga

[fading cobalt]

"oh yay I unlocked trib"
Literally the next ante:

[lunar zealot]

why is mf automodded

the unabbreviated word i mean

[fading cobalt]

I thinker fer is automodded aswell

Yeah it is

[cursive lion]

Nat negative lucky cat…

[lunar zealot]

Oh boy and with so much time to scale it

[pale wolf]

there seems to be a random list of "offensive" words

I'm not even sure it was made by an English speaker tbh

[pale prism]

im really bad a balatro

:)

[solid garden]

magic deck gold stake, 12/15! goldened matador, drunkard and ramen! time to suffer

[cursive lion]

Just a bit of time

I mainly picked up because I mean it’s the goat but also it’s negative xmult so why not

[vocal rose]

cat is indeed goated

[cursive lion]

🗣️

[cursive lion]

I bet your favourite band is… Pearl Jam

[pale prism]

its Radiohead

ive never listened to pearl jam

[fading cobalt]

Bro I make one minor error and fucking die

[pale prism]

are gifs banned on this server

[cursive lion]

Tenor links are banned

[pale prism]

why

[cursive lion]

It’s mainly because people kept spamming WHAT IS BALATRO 🃏 gifs

[pale prism]

:(

[ivory sun]

place your bets here

[pale prism]

that excludes like every single gif ever

[cursive lion]

Something like this

You can just download gifs

[ivory sun]

[fading cobalt]

Cant even pivot lmao

[ivory sun]

glad i got them finally but it couldn’t be worse

[cursive lion]

At least it’s foil

[wintry ice]

you could turn even ranks into kings or queens

[cursive lion]

Give me the illusion of choice

[ivory sun]

full house time

[amber vigil]

Mouth just killed my jokerless run

pmo

[rich flame]

Hey all, I seem to be banging my head against the wall with jokerless, anyone got any tips, don't think I have been any further than 4th anti 🙁

[cursive lion]

ts pmo 🥀

[wintry ice]

straights are the most consistent hand on it

though 3oak, 4oak and flushes do work sometimes

[ivory sun]

o7 should’ve taken mr bones

[uncut slate]

even steven flow

[pale prism]

Huh

[uncut slate]

there's a pearl jam song called even flow

and i just woke up and couldn't think of a good reason not to send that message

[pale prism]

Oh

There is a Radiohead song called Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailer Rich Man Poor Man Beggar Man Theif

[uncut slate]

packt like sardines in a crusht tin box

[fading cobalt]

Yikes

I understand trib hate now

[ivory sun]

i have unlocked all the legendary jokers now

[fading cobalt]

Ayyy we both unlocked all legendaries at the same time with trib lmao

[heavy heron]

do i sell a fool for the… rough gem? do i open buffoon? do i find the speculative immolate?

i kinda want to sell a fool for rough gem

[pale wolf]

open buffoon pack

[heavy heron]

because i already know im opening that spectral and going to find an incantation

[pale prism]

Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

[heavy heron]

really?

not a rough gem believer?

[pale wolf]

you'll get more information for what to do/ if to do anything else

and yeah not an eternal rough gem believer

[heavy heron]

if i open buffoon pack i cant touch gem

rough*

[heavy heron]

well

as a flush lover maybe i’m different

[pale wolf]

I prefer to win than to play flushes

[heavy heron]

i prefer to have fun than win

[pale wolf]

I have more fun when I win

[heavy heron]

and i have fun when im not slaving to 1 hand type

[fading cobalt]

Face card builds pmo

[pale wolf]

is that not what you do with the flush

[heavy heron]

no, not every round

straights are fun too

[pale wolf]

when you asked for advice I figured it was for how to win the game

[heavy heron]

oh, it was

hence the rough gem proposal

[pale wolf]

I might take rough gem here if the a1 boss blind is window

[heavy heron]

LOL

[fading cobalt]

Peak ante 2 behaviour

[pale wolf]

fair¡

[heavy heron]

well isn’t that crazy

either way, that was all a test and you failed

the play is to get yan

not yan

chaos

[pale wolf]

what

[heavy heron]

why did i think his name is yan

chaos my man

if you think about it, rough gem is $5 every round

but so is chaos

except he’s $3 cheaper❤️

[north schooner]

that's just rude

[heavy heron]

oh my bad

but tbf you didn’t suggest anything

[pale wolf]

both chaos and rough gem have minimum $5 per round more or less but the rough gem money is more useful

[heavy heron]

no that was a joke i ain’t getting chaos

[heavy heron]

true

[pale wolf]

yeah with window as the boss blind I think rough gem is a fine take

it means building diamonds for the rest of the run won't be any risk

[orchid comet]

why does chaos feel so useless

[pale wolf]

because you aren't making enough money to realize it's effect

chaos saves you $5 plus a dollar for every subsequent reroll

if you rerolled 5 times, chaos saved you from having to spend the money on the last reroll, so $10 saved

[mortal aurora]

double baseball 🙂

[pale wolf]

nice

[burnt topaz]

This the most random joker combination ever and yet it works wonderfully

[orchid comet]

that's a lot

yet still if my joker set is filled with shitty jokers and chaos I'll sell chaos first

[orchid comet]

is that red card on the right

[north schooner]

shop 1 chaos is great because you get to see twice the amount of jokers early game when you need them the most

[atomic trout]

Damn you Ante 12! And your scoring!!

I can't best it

[trail basin]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[north schooner]

and it's great mid game if all you have is shitty jokers and no econ, because it will help you replace them with better jokers faster, including Econ jokers

Destroying your econ is a great way to tank your run

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[north schooner]

nobody's talking about bloodstone

[atomic trout]

Nooo

[brave goblet]

Irony ...

I also literally have only one face card in the deck lmao

[verbal holly]

do I double copy trib or put one on Chad? double copy trib right?

[cursive lion]

The bunger army will rise

[shell current]

Chaos if you can’t afford to reroll is basically overstock+

[north schooner]

$20 value!

[shell current]

not as strong as a joker that gets you to interest cap… but I do really like looking

[north schooner]

rebate in the reroll trust

[nova mantle]

Well I see both chips and mult in there

Also an econ

Don't see what's wrong with that build ✅

[royal bobcat]

And then it's the blueprint you can't afford because of greed

[fading cobalt]

Yorick my beloved

I've gotten 3 legendaries today

Quite insane

Except trib

Fuck you trib

[north schooner]

Huge straight synergy too with the negatives and runner

[nova mantle]

Tru I didn't see four fingers at first

[north schooner]

Stealth + Slight of Hand bonus

[nova mantle]

At most you could replace swash or drunkcard with any x mult and you'd be set

[north schooner]

Constellation would go hard

[nova mantle]

Or the order

I was wondering, which jokers are left to gold stake for ya

If they're only 2 they must be some shi like turtle bean or smth

[zealous lynx]

how do i spend my money efficiently? currently spending all my earning every shop but idk if thats optimal

[obsidian patrol]

ask yourself what you are rolling for

[zealous lynx]

showman, bean and invis

[obsidian patrol]

dont spend it all

save up money

and roll for an adequete amount

[fading cobalt]

Holy shit bro another soul card

What is my luck today

[cosmic harbor]

guys what do i do here? next boss is verdant leaf

[obsidian patrol]

Punishment for taking eternal paradolia

[shell current]

You don’t want to roll that hard yet bc it’s too early to replace DNA

[zealous lynx]

you should survive it by selling bp

[nova mantle]

God sent justice as a consequence of takin eternal pareidolia I fear

[obsidian patrol]

Taking pareidolia in general

[zealous lynx]

is invis worth replacing rebate here? idk but rebate is a common so i think its correct

[nova mantle]

The one that would affect you the least is blueprint ofc

[shell current]

And you want to keep money in the bank because if you replaced something it would have to be rebate

[cosmic harbor]

whats wrong with pareidolia

[obsidian patrol]

It is not a good joker

[shell current]

I’m not an invis believer

[nova mantle]

I would take it you don't need that much econ anymore

[zealous lynx]

major weakness to plant and its not that hard to deckfix enough face cards for a flush/5oak build

[obsidian patrol]

And like

It has

Very little uses

[shell current]

You always need that much econ

[nova mantle]

It acts more as a disadvantage rather than something good due to the many bosses that affect face cards, also if you take it you kinda are obligated to make a build centered around face cards, even more obligated if it's eternal

[cosmic harbor]

i had a foil scary face before selling it for bp

thats why i took it

[nova mantle]

And it's never good to depend around a card type, even worse if that type is face cards

[orchid comet]

it's always better as a temporary card though, keeping it to support faceless joker or scary face or stuff like that till u eventually sell it for something better

[nova mantle]

Ehh you're kinda right

Maybe sell DNA if you already got many cards then

Mmmm nooo but DNA makes your card size higher

Idk...

[cursive lion]

And the mark if you have to rely on a specific hand

[zealous lynx]

got bp from invis

[orchid comet]

dna op if u have blueprint or brainstorm

especially if u have 2 or both

[nova mantle]

Exactly 💯

[orchid comet]

the moon looks so beautiful

so sad that a camera can't capture it's beauty

[nova mantle]

Pareidolia is js very unnecessary

[pseudo surge]

brah 💔

[orchid comet]

fun to use for a bit tho

[nova mantle]

Take a screenshot with yo eyes

[zealous lynx]

ez chad

[zenith spire]

Trying to beat gold stake black deck, is it worth it to take scary face here with rental?

[obsidian patrol]

Take chad

[orchid comet]

game teasing u atp

[orchid comet]

yes this

[pseudo surge]

on ante 2 no less 💔

[nova mantle]

Always pick Chad over photo

[orchid comet]

can't rental cards be bought for $1 and sold for $1

[fading cobalt]

Man fuck you violet vessel

[orchid comet]

I haven't reached gold yet but I'd buy it and then sell it before I play scoring hand

[fading cobalt]

And fuck you every arcana pack I opened just to not find a single god damn hanged man

[pseudo surge]

yes

[nova mantle]

Indeed, but I never see myself needing it, maybe the moment js hasn't come

[orchid comet]

to avoid the rental

[fading cobalt]

Everytime I get canio all the arcana packs just REFUSE to have hanged mans

[nova mantle]

That's gotta be considered fraud somewhere

[pseudo surge]

how i look at my screen when the past 20 arcana packs have gave me everything but magicians when im running a lucky cat run

[paper night]

replaced by the, not so humble, fool

[fading cobalt]

I didn't even see that many fools bro

Hey I JUST said that

[pale wolf]

taken on my phone

[paper night]

thats the point
u were supposed to get hanged mans, not fools

[pale wolf]

oh Discord destroyed that picture LOL

rest assured it's a great photo

[fading cobalt]

No but I'm saying I didnt even see fools

[paper night]

so its not just me

[nova mantle]

Sorry I didn't see the original

[orchid comet]

that is very beautiful

[vocal rose]

odd todd should’ve been yoir choice

[acoustic moth]

I STRICTLY get devils and towers

[nova mantle]

That looks amazing

Even with the brutal discord compression

[paper night]

greed path vs stonkes path

we choose the skip path

[nova mantle]

Am I right for always taking devil's if I see them in the shop i js feel they pay for themselves very quickly

[acoustic moth]

gotta get a red card everytime I get a canio LOL

[nova mantle]

+3 mult ✅

[fading cobalt]

I had 500k scoring and died to VV (600k req) 🫩🫩

[acoustic moth]

if there arent any better options like a temperance then yeah

but keeping a single card in hand is hard if you're tight

[nova mantle]

Vv is always a brutal run killer

[acoustic moth]

tight score wise

[nova mantle]

Happens to the best of us

[vocal rose]

yes you are

devils are probably the best enhancement

[wintry ice]

yea

[vocal rose]

and pay themselves instantly

[wintry ice]

they immediately pay themselves off

[fading cobalt]

Red seal steel cards

[vocal rose]

are red seals an enhancement

or any seal

[fading cobalt]

No but I was saying steel cards with a red seal are goated

[nova mantle]

Oh yeah the tarot card that gives a steel card with a red seal

[nova mantle]

Nice

[fading cobalt]

Never mind

😒

[pseudo surge]

least broken modded tarot

[fading cobalt]

Lost on a technicality 😭

[zealous lynx]

negative rebate pog

[nova mantle]

And even if you get em from arcana packs they js need 2 procs so you get yo money back, if there's nothing better I always take em unless I'm running red card and I need the mult

[vocal rose]

worlds easiest naneinf

[pseudo surge]

how the hell you got so much money damn

[fading cobalt]

Isnt copying mime better?

Like by alot??

[zealous lynx]

no retcon 😭

[vocal rose]

endless at that point nets you alot of money

[nova mantle]

Glad my game sense is getting better

[vocal rose]

for scoring?

[zealous lynx]

wdym?

[vocal rose]

no

[zealous lynx]

score wise no but money wise yes

[vocal rose]

you want to balance scoring effects and triggers

[zealous lynx]

i just forgot

[nova mantle]

Least game crashing thing in cryptid:

[fading cobalt]

Retriggering mime retriggers steels and baron tho??

How does that NOT give more scoring

[vocal rose]

because once again you want to balance scoring effects and retriggers

[fading cobalt]

You're not making sense

[vocal rose]

how much is 5x4 compared to 7x1

[fading cobalt]

But if you retrigger baron with mime you're getting more scoring are you not

[vocal rose]

you are not

you’re getting significantly less if you fully copy mime

[hasty harness]

hm

[nova mantle]

Think of it as multiplication as zoahl js said, you wanna get a perfect square between your retriggers and mult effects, or in other words, have the same amount of both

[vocal rose]

scoring effects are : baron, steel

trigger effects are : the card itself, red seals, mime

[nova mantle]

Retriggers are mime, red seal

[vocal rose]

just for baron mime strictly speaking

[fading cobalt]

So copying mime doesnt retrigger barons effect?

[nova mantle]

For sock triboulet for example, sock and red seals would be the retriggers and triboulet/glass would the the mult effects

[pseudo surge]

literally this

[vocal rose]

no it gets retriggered an extra time

with less scoring effects

5 triggers with 3 scoring effects

is less than 4 triggers with 4 scoring effects

once again think of it in multiplication

4x4 compared to 5x3

which is more

6x3 compared to 5x4

[nova mantle]

It does but it's LESS effective
Would you rather have a card trigger 7 times and give x1.5 mult each time or trigger 5 times but give X1. 5⁴ each time

[pale wolf]

First option, the 4 is probly small bc its worse

[nova mantle]

Correcto, it was a trick question

[fading cobalt]

Yeah I'm just gonna not bother using my brain cuz this only matters in endless runs

[wintry ice]

if you have 2 blueprints on mime
the card gets retriggered twice, with each trigger doing baron's effect once
if you have 1 on each
the card gets retriggered once, with each trigger doing baron's effect twice

[pale wolf]

correct

[nova mantle]

To b more clear, X1.5⁴ is approximately x5

[pale wolf]

and also there are resources like calculators to do this for you so you don't need to figure it out every time until you have it by instinct

although just two different types of score and trigger is pretty simple, sometimes they're mixed

[wintry ice]

the formula is 1.5 ^ (card triggers x baron/steel triggers) iirc

[austere night]

Uh guys, i need some advices. What should i do at this point of the stage( im aiming to naneif). Im wondering should i look for a burglar or wait for an ecto or any better suggestions

[nova mantle]

Sometimes I've got a calculator besides me if I want to check if I clear a blind lol

[pseudo surge]

also you could easily disprove this with any balatro calculator

[pale wolf]

https://efhiii.github.io/balatro-calculator/

[nova mantle]

If you are too lazy the calculator mod also exists

[balmy ridge]

even steven is actually so underrated

such a cool guy

[nova mantle]

Odd todd better

[pseudo surge]

even steven carries in the early game

[pale wolf]

ephen stephen

[acoustic kettle]

Odd todd better

[pale wolf]

awd tawd

[shell dagger]

If you full copy mime then you aren’t retriggering that many barons (because you aren’t copying any barons). The barons you copy are also retriggered by your mimes

[balmy ridge]

the whole game

maybe not

but

i like him, he's pretty cool

almost as cool as swashgoat

[orchid comet]

I can't seem to force baron mime run cuz I don't get one or the other, any tips?

though usually I just pass ante 8 easily cuz lower stakes rn or photochad/blueprint focused build

[orchid comet]

I wanted to try it

[fading cobalt]

Yeah I went to balatro calc and when I copied the build that finally clicked with me 😭

I really am just that dumb ✌️

[pseudo surge]

it's pretty useful up to ante 8-9

[wintry ice]

is this correct

[acoustic kettle]

Never used desmos

Shocker

[wintry ice]

steven is decent earlygame

[pale wolf]

its an equation yea

[wintry ice]

i've used it to mess around

[nova mantle]

Horizontal line

[orchid comet]

yes that would be 6

[vocal rose]

i’ll win gold stake black deck in 24 minutes

[balmy ridge]

what are we loking at

[orchid comet]

6

[balmy ridge]

best deck

[balmy ridge]

[orchid comet]

I hope u get past ante 1 and 2 very easily

[orchid comet]

fr

[wintry ice]

-1 hand is a lot

[acoustic kettle]

The econ sucks ass💔

[pseudo surge]

ur right but it's still frustrating to run

[wintry ice]

the joker slot only serves to solve the problem that the deck causes

[balmy ridge]

and alot of people think it's the worst deck which is objectively untrue

[acoustic kettle]

It is true

[wintry ice]

what deck is worse

[balmy ridge]

id rather win 3 black deck runs back to back than one nebula deck run

[wintry ice]

every deck has a similar lategame

[balmy ridge]

on gold stake

[pale wolf]

nebula is worse for the world

[wintry ice]

black deck has the worst earlygame

[acoustic kettle]

Black is like the blue stake of decks

[pale wolf]

no bc black deck is fun and blue stake is lame

[balmy ridge]

what did he mean by this

bottom text

[orchid comet]

black is only hard at the start

[balmy ridge]

TRUE

[cursive lion]

Someone post that speech bubble meme

[wintry ice]

with not that much better of a lategame due to the 1 less hand

[orchid comet]

frr

comparing based on how fun a deck is blue would be so low

[wintry ice]

and no other deck has an earlygame as bad as black deck's

[balmy ridge]

aren't they reworking blue stake?

i think i heard dr spec mention it in a vid

[nova mantle]

No unlocks no nothing

[orchid comet]

jokerless

[pseudo surge]

fortunately yes

[orchid comet]

agreed

[acoustic kettle]

-1 hand instead

[balmy ridge]

its like the most boring stake

[acoustic kettle]

To make black deck 2 hands

[wintry ice]

the other stakes test resource management

[acoustic kettle]

[orchid comet]

[wintry ice]

blue stake just limits every non-pair option

[balmy ridge]

ooook buddy now we're taking the mickey a little bit

[nova mantle]

Those whom possess the knowledge:

[cursive lion]

Ohh

[orchid comet]

why aren't u copying chad

[acoustic kettle]

-1 hand woild be fire though

Pairs aren't as good

They still are but

[balmy ridge]

is that some sort of food app?

[heady narwhal]

i would assume the polls close based on the text of the notification

[cursive lion]

Aren’t you supposed to copy the photo or is that because I have two

[pseudo surge]

it's an app for a fast food chain

[cursive lion]

Whataburger is the best

One of the only good things about Texas

[balmy ridge]

copy photo = 1 extra x2
chad triggers the card twice, so it's 4x

what kind of name is that

[nova mantle]

Please investigate this matter

[pseudo surge]

HELL no

[balmy ridge]

we don't have that here and i think i'm glad

LMAOOOOO

[cursive lion]

What would a what a burger jr be

[balmy ridge]

i giggled

actually

[cursive lion]

Sorry it’s Freddy’s steak burgers but for a chain it’s the best smh

[balmy ridge]

im going to do a gold stake black deck run and win first try just to prove that black deck is goated

[nova mantle]

What if localfunk made a hotdog so you gained 3 discards and lost all hands

[pseudo surge]

i got a decent chuckle outta that icl

[balmy ridge]

freddy fazzed bare?!?!?! har har har har

[pseudo surge]

#true

[cursive lion]

The steak burgers and frozen custards tend to get quirky at night

[pale wolf]

ok so drunkard is +1 discard
juggler is +1 handsize
ttm is +1 interest mechanic
there should be jokers for +1 consumable slot and +1 hand

[cursive lion]

Yeah…

[balmy ridge]

ttm?

[cursive lion]

To the moon

[balmy ridge]

o

i HATE ttm

[pseudo surge]

+1 hand should be one of those claw toy things (i forgot the name)

[pale wolf]

its a better golden joker

[cursive lion]

Clearly you never had an econ build

[balmy ridge]

what

wait

to the moon is the queen heldinhand one?

[cursive lion]

That’s shoot the moon

[balmy ridge]

oh

to the moon is double interest

[pseudo surge]

one of these

[balmy ridge]

yeah i like it

SHOOT the moon, i hate

[blissful bronze]

is it worth just selling everything to ankh rebate\

[balmy ridge]

obviously not

[pale wolf]

no wtf

[pseudo surge]

no

[nova mantle]

+1 consumable joker would make nebula deck at least 10% less miserable

[pseudo surge]

"guys should i throw my entire run for a bit of extra econ"

[balmy ridge]

you have amazing jokers, there is absolutely no need to change any of them lol

space could possibly go later

[blissful bronze]

but it be so funny

[cursive lion]

To the moon is like some way to describe a stock (crypto mainly) going too high (like a bubble… )
Shoot the moon is a risky move in the card game hearts where you hold onto all the hearts and queen of spades which you aren’t supposed to but if you have ALL of the cards, you win

[pale wolf]

i genuinely dont know why you are considering that

[balmy ridge]

doesn't matter how rich you are if you're dead!

[shell current]

My only criticism of to the moon is that it doesn’t really help getting to interest cap

[pale wolf]

to the moon is just when a stock shoots up in value

[cursive lion]

Yeah pretty much

[blissful bronze]

have you considered level 30 high card

cus i already draw my entire deck

[cursive lion]

Should I…

[white zodiac]

why the misogyny

[pale wolf]

it does help but not much

[balmy ridge]

doubt it would be enough

[nova mantle]

Brosky js typing shi 😭

[pale wolf]

$5 a round is meh but its at least better than golden

[balmy ridge]

no i love women!!!! its just a little tedious to make queens for a lackluster payoff

[pseudo surge]

i don't think that's what to the moon means broconut

[blissful bronze]

i score 500k without photochad im okay for a while im pretty sure

[nova mantle]

You call shoot the moon lackluster??

[balmy ridge]

your run, do what you want

[pale wolf]

shoot the moon tends to be a win when i pick it up https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1427778166021292052/screen-20251014-175701.mp4?ex=690b2049&is=6909cec9&hm=22152b097c64445cc8bdf0950a386a36027ee99a0c483f79fa62010a90122415&

madnes

also why is the sell button so big

[orchid comet]

does madness still stack up if all jokers are internals

[balmy ridge]

i don't like it

[blissful bronze]

[white zodiac]

the mini game payout goes hard

[orchid comet]

what's the rarity

[shell current]

I think we’ve had this discussion before maybe but golden is so strong in ante 1-2 that it balances out

[orchid comet]

might try madness run

[balmy ridge]

madness is uncommon i think

maybe wrong

[blissful bronze]

for a short while
rerolling is kinf

[cursive lion]

@nova mantle

I love that the wiki has to make note about the moon tarot 😭

[white zodiac]

higher ceiling and cheaper purchase for a lower floor and technically less room for pickup

[shell current]

But obviously the interest vouchers make the cieling on TTM reaally really good

[wintry ice]

why would you not just take a red seal

[balmy ridge]

is madness the fastest reliably scaling xmult?

[white zodiac]

no

[balmy ridge]

i know people say hologram

but it's easy to deckbloat thus less reliability

[cursive lion]

Hologram and constellation

[orchid comet]

holo with dna and 2 copying jokers 👀

[cursive lion]

Since you can find planet and playing cards

[balmy ridge]

madness is a constant 1x per ante

[white zodiac]

fastest per round I'll say obby licks

[acoustic kettle]

Obelisk

[balmy ridge]

not reliable to get dna and 2 copying jokers

[balmy ridge]

actually yeah true

[cursive lion]

Obelisk is a good choice too

Hearts and spades are probably my favorite 52-deck card games irl

my dad used to play hearts online for money, fairly lucratively apparently, but then it was banned in my state

unless he won first try and kept it like that

[acoustic kettle]

Is there a chance on clicking on a bomb the first click of the game

[vocal rose]

on a technicality he’d be right

[pale wolf]

no

That's when the game is first generated

[shell current]

Most versions seed the generation after the click

[north spindle]

i like the modern implementations that prevent unsolvable puzzles better

[pale wolf]

it is possible to win on the first click

[nova mantle]

No the place you click is always free, it generates it from there

[pseudo surge]

how

[acoustic kettle]

I played some knockoffs on my phone and died first click💔

[pale wolf]

technically i have a wr on beginner minesweeper

Gambling is fun

[pale wolf]

the layout can simply reveal all needed squares

If the layout has no enclosed space without mines you js instantly win
