probably like e12 I don't usually go for high score on gold stake runs
i just wish i had director's cut
if i don't draw my kings i die
speaking of psychic uh oh
dude everything is not gold stake
If you roll into plant you die
That's the only relevant meta
no?
yup
nope
I don’t think it’s strong enough to be an uncommon. A nerf was confirmed so I would rather a different approach to be taken
Some people play this game for fun and not "meta"
thankfully i knock psychic out early
NAT NEG??
I almost always play a little endless
nat neg bby
i wasnt going for it really
WAIT THATS SO GOOD WTH
i got a nat neg showman from a judgement one time
i turn my kings spade after this ante
Amazing idea
it's basic logic
seed is crazy
The only time ante 1 baron will ever work
I wouldn't play low stakes balatro unless I was going for endless mode, because the base game on low stakes is so brain dead easy
but I'm not going to play endless mode because it's boring
so ill play gold stake non endless
Why it pink
I know I'm just giving positive reinforcement
do i beat vv lmao
Well the alternatives are acorn, bell, leaf or heart
Are any of those potentially worse than vessel
If yes, don't reroll
bro where are my kings
How many do you have in the deck
The vessel is so stupid
ecto hit bloodstone lmao
lmao nice natural negative flash
9 out of 41
Worst hit but it's still not bad
if I was going to remove one boss blind it would probably be arm
yeah
arm just sux
Hey, temperance value
Actually yeah the arm is worse
just double checking i should put bp and dusk furthest left?
The arm is annoying as fuck but has it ever been a run ender?
sidenote neg bloodstone is ugly as SHIT bro ew
well
https://efhiii.github.io/balatro-calculator/
generally you split triggers and scores evenly
Calculate the score of any Balatro hand
literally not even a boss blind so ok
That copying seems correct to me. 4 scoring 4 triggers
tempted to roll into vv or crimson heart just for fun
Great setup for acorn too
im stupid do i or dont i
flips and shuffles all joker cards
yes i found a luchador LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
it's been a long long time since i had a baron run on gold stake
i believe last time was when i stickered odd todd and got c++
No don't move anything. You want one retrigger on the dusk to give 4 triggers after red seal and one on idol to give 4 triggers including poly and bloodstone
damn you removed the only fun interactive part of acorn
ohhhhhhhhhhhhh ok
acorn edging
"fun" very important keyword
removing holdjng baron to the left while the blind is setting up
Actually I'm not sure if that's correct. Does poly/bs count as .5 for scoring ?
trult an important deal
Fuck that
i just bought luchador
I hate having to think even a little bit
well I was like First you would play a hand with a king held in hand so you know which eternal is the baron, so you can double copy burnt on your first discard, and then get maximum value
Oddly enough i had to think a significant amount to not fucking die on this baron run though
And when accounted together is it +x1
and then that kind of seemed fun
I wanna play balatro
Wow it's almost as if baron isn't the best in gold stake
Good thing these chips are virtual..
I have completionist++ i'm not stupid thankfully
Imagine going bankrupt cuz you lost in endless
Im being jokingly sarcastic btw. Not like mean
Sometimes all the pieces line up
Hard to differentiate tone over text
like baron + dcut + early scoring
So you can understand sarcasm?! 
- fucking brainstorm somehow??????
Copying baron is op
Its the only usecase that actually makes it decent without mime
which one would you guys take here
Aj
cert
duality of man
i would take cert here honestly fits my playstyle more
seal value is op ig
and it needs planets which you might get unlucky with
idol landed on jack of clubs, do i just replace brainstorm with bp?
Probably
I'm just biased towards ancient joker I love him
i defo would have lost without brainstorm
Maybe sell dusk
aj still really good i feel like cert is more reliable in gold stake though
I dont know how good that retrigger is helping you tho
Sell the second idol
It's helping a lot
yeah dusk is everything rn
Then yeah
smart
Do that
Certificate
AJ is weak to water, possibly flint, and other stuff that I can’t be bothered to remember
AJ is also very bad without planet levels
pair is weak to needle and eye but AJ is also weak to needle
fuck i didnt even know ante 16 had a boss too
AJ is weak against Suit bosses
And required a good amount of Jupiters
I couldn't keep up with scoring on flushes cuz lack of jupiters
yea so it can be sketchy
crimson heart
suit bosses can be skipped against tho
and crucially the 4 suit debuffs, unless u pay attention and know to adapt around that
Every 8 antes has a boss
still sucks to skip I guess
didnt have to think about the every in that until now
ah yes i truly needed the d6 tag 🔥
Not the worst tag
That goes to money per blind skipped tbh
i think speed or d6 are prob the worst tags
Every ante has a boss actually
never said its the worst
But yeah skipping is quite detrimental
I never said you said that
True but I didnt know what to call the ante 8 boss blinds
Legendary boss blind?
finisher bosses
Yea
Ante 8 boss blinds
Did you know:

You can play more than 2 cards per hamd
No I didn't

The only skip I ever take is if the first one is either the free shop one or investment tag
That must mean you can use your hands as discards by playing more cards than your played hand
Free shop is mid tbh
coupon tag is ass
Half joker enjoyers in shambles
Ante 1 can have some value with booster packs ig
But 9/10 times coupon is just mid
Me when I skip for coupon tag and get a perishable hiker and eternal egg for free
Eh, better than the 3 dollars at best I get if I play the small blind personally
Id never take it later on the run tbf
guys i think im cooked is this the best ive got?
i need like 2e20 and im only getting e18
Idol missed?
idol missed yeah
You need to get better at deck fixing my darling
this motivated me to hop on balatro
Guys I have a joker Idea
every run i do lasts around an hour
go for it
yeahhhhhhhh
i was trying so hard
Unfortunate but probs the end
Windows Joker: When played most played hand, uninstall the game
speculative baron potential?
alt + f4 joker should do the same as that but just closes it
Grab even Steven twin baron is never coming 
Meowwww
Rub my bellaaay
The hell?
Hit the road
I could still make alot of money with mime
Wash my bellaaay
plus I got an investment tag
Baron pog?
Eh, fair
not even baron, just steel easily beats ante 8 unless some weird boss blind shenanigans happen
As long as you got something else for score
You can get C++ without C+ lol
Leaving black deck unbeaten so this happens 
i was about to tell you to copy idol lol
Which Joker would taste best when eaten?
My love for mime would make me grab even without baron
chicot
well thank you team (esp ash) this was my best run by far
wait steel cards trigger before shoot the moon right
Steel Joker would be worst cuz its steel
Ramen looks tasty
best hand before this was 9bil
yes
Congrats 
if its a steel queen the steel is second i think
depends
I'm yet to get a run with hands that have e in it on my ps5 yet its happened several times on my switch 😭
oh wait
nope, it's first
ya its first
this is a funny synergy i like it
I haven't even gotten a 100mil hand on my ps5 yet
either way you can moce steel as the last held in hand card so it effects as much mult as possible from non steel queens
If it's a queen it first triggers the 13 mult then steel
Really??
it's cards and then jokers yeah
Mandela effect is a group of people believing something false not one person
I can still use shoot the moon for scoring on ante 2 for now
I'm a group of people composed by 1 person
I played one recently so... yeah lmao
I'm pretty sure shoot the moon does trigger before steel cards if you put the queen first?? Am I crazy
Cut yourself in half so you count as 2 people ig

oh yeah this run is gonna cook I bet
If the queen is a steel card it doesn't matter
Steel first
iirc steel first
Well yeah
But I'm pretty sure all held in hand effects happen from left to right no matter if it's a joker or steel
I think stm is my top 3 for my 2nd c++
But if it's on the same card steel triggers first
priority order is left to right and then card enhancements then jokers
Shoot the moon counts as an in hand effect
I think
it's a joker so it goes last
it triggers second since its still a joker
steel first, then jokers
so steel queens apply steel first then +13
omg ass draws
Nice 
I was js thinking when I get the stm gold sticker id probably also get the mime one, but I'm worried about baron then 
painted deck lowkey kinda hard
what if you discarded all your queens 🤯
me when i lie
scale saturn or something
5 card hands are so much easier on painted
It'll probably be one of those that you grab last ante so you get the sticker
Nope, I havent changed any ranks in my deck
baron and stm build? 
that would be stupid anyway
doomed straight relationship
a common with a rare? really?
Okay I misunderstood what was being said I think.
forbidden love
i cant stop reading your name as mssikat help
yeah it's like baron or mime (baron triggers after steel and mime triggers after red seal)
it throws me off badly
lmao 😔
ok I survived that but I didn't think shoot the moon would already whiff and nearly kill me
I thought what was being said was that every steel triggers then shoot the moon triggers after every steel no matter the card order
stm isnt consistent unless you make it
oh no no
try getting more queens
priority is left to right first
jacks and 10s strength
Power couple 🔥
Yeah that's why I was confused haha
What if there was a joker that gave chips for each jack you had in hand
- Left to right
- Enhancements, seals, jokers
But yes on a card steel triggers first
I ate too much junk my stomach hurts now LOL
Like, hell jacks are lacking cards that include them
Apart from the ones that include every face card you got hit the road for jacks
You know I could always turn this run into a boring photochad brainstorm run
And
Turns out monster, popcorn and Doritos aren't a good source of nutrition
Uh...
ouch hope ya get better
who could've 
Popcorn only gives 20 mult so not really nutritious
Is monster a seltzer
what would Doritos be tho
No idea
Hope ya get better 
new idea for The Sheet
cert is a free win
Packet of chips joker
Hologram*
wouldve won without holo too fr
Doubt
unless its 6x you win without any
do people like hallucination?
+36 and 32 on red and bus respectively
yeah
only appropriate use of this emoji
me too
Oh shit my nitro
hallu is like
oh shit ur right
the red card of tarot generators
hold on i need to egirl a bit so i can get another month
Brb im heading to another server
i dont even e-girl i just e-human
my known gender online is just a fat question mark
Do I drop drunkard for sock?
you already won
aa, i guess one can't use the Fool to create the last played tarot card if the last played card is in the tarot card slot (played the Death and got the Fool from discard), right?
that's not getting past ante 13
My last run i had hallucination and campfire and they were lovely
You still can i think
i think your fool is just copying fool
Everytime I pulled emperor it felt like winning a million dollars
hit the juckpot 1 trillion$
Should I call ya ?ro instead of bro 
chicot appeared
the best way i can put it is ✨heless pronouns✨
1 jimbillion dollars right in my bank account
i think i copied a purple-sealed Ten with the Death and dicard gave me the Fool, but not sure anymore
Lovely
just realised I've been mis-seeing the joker cards this whole time
i thought the blue things were limbs
I needed chips too and it's foil
?!?!
They would just be spiders then
SPIMBO UPDATE WHEN
Hi i dont like being in the black deck, anyone want to play through me?
do i let go of trading card? only got around 10 gold/steel red seal kings
"collect my jokers" as a bodyless jimbo skitters across the floor [did i use that correctly]
I see where this run is going
it's the best deck
I do need xmult though
The 4 missing are in the back, perspective 
praying u get baseball or acro
Should i open first joker pack or go to Big blind with 6$?
But ew it's yucky thinking about spider Jimbo
I would open the joker pack
You got like the whole 3 first antes figured out lmao
retriggers this early?
Unless Michel breaks
chad is great
The other options are eternal scholar Planet pack tarot pack
michel either dies after one round
or sticks around for way too long
I've never seen an in-between
Ehh id say skip that shop
Michael hates me and dies at inconvenient moments
Either 1 round or the whole 8 antes
I mean, chad is great with other things as well
yea
golden ticket chad is my favourite
i had chad and seltzer
Golden ticket, gold seal
during my ancient run
Lucky cards, 8 ball
I already got Michel gold stickered cuz the latter happened to me 
Too late im in ante 2 now
11$ the shop is Mercury swashbuckler tarot and standard pack, the voucher is the seed money
I'm missing Cavendish tho
Chad was bought
Its an image of a ramen on a piece of paper
probably just save for interest, you have a good setup until michelle breaks
is it even worth taking dna?
If I kill a card idol wants me to play does it re choose the card
no
Well every joker is a picture in a piece of paper if you go by that technicality 
well thank god I found chicot
just deckfix better and destroy the shitty cards
Doesn't mean it doesn't look tasty
15$ devil, card Sharp tarot pack and joker pack
you don't need to add more good ones, you need to remove the bad ones
How much is Yorick giving u
also what are those negative consumables
x2, says it right there
Ggs
gg
yeah, but not for DNA
It's worth having lots of cards for rebate value
Annoying
I reckon it's worth it
before having fixed your deck??
If they're doing a baron build DNA is great
well yeah, but their deck isn't fixed yet
Exactly
24$ perishable satellite and abstract joker, Planet and arcana pack
I would still say it's worth
maybe
Higher density of kings is never bad
Hologram is not a picture on a paper
What should I do about constellation?
uuuh
What hand are you playing and what do the levels look like
nothing if you dont want to kill chicot
it is if it means you can't remove the shit, or draw your purple seals if you wanna use those
cryptids
i assume you have steels and not blue seals
Yes it is
@plucky agate they have a ton of cryptids
no need for DNA
mainly been playing pairs
Rip banana ( round 1 ante 1 - round 2 Boss blind)
Me building my entire build around a rare joker im not gonna get
that's fine
wtf why dk you have so many diff planet levels
Now i only have Chad and 34$
it looks like you picked up constellation 4 antes ago
I got a black hole earlier
so use those 34 dollars to get a nice +mult joker
yes, i was copying the Fool previoysly, now i got two Deaths in the tarot slot one from the Fool
chad is kinda a shitty chips joker
The shop is eternal todo list perishable photo and mega and normal standard pack
and what about the jupiter and venus and uranus and earth
Reroll baby
right, so take photo and you're set for the next five rounds
THEY HAVE CHAD
I replaced runner for bull
36$ eternal odd todd negative wily joker (100 chips if 3oak) directors cut standard pack and Planet pack
Btw I have no steels, better get going with that
I will wait dw
Are you perhaps running satellite
I lost in the Big blind
Willy joker?
I forgot what that one do
Oh yeah lol, forgot that group of jokers has funny names
no
Idol chose a bad card
also negative campfire
I have chicot doesn't matter
Oh yeah 
I'm surprised you already had chicot gold stake too lol
Only legendary I've got gold stake'd is yorick
verdant leaf would've been bad otherwise but there was a directors cut
already have 3 legendary gold stakes
I just loss the 1st small blind
also side note orange stake looks way too similar to red stake in the joker collection
Trib gold staked? Nicee
For me orange and gold look way too similar depending on what angle is the card spinning
I've gotten chicot so much he's easily my most seen legendary, and that's not bad either
pivoted from supernova to obelisk, got the obelisk pretty big
Riff raff gave me Green joker and ride the bus, should i play with both or go with only one?
Black deck Orange stake
i'd probably go with both and go for a high card build tbh
Riff raff Green joker superstition banano bus and drunkard
getting both at the same time is almost like getting an x2 mult joker as well lol
i find rtb generally better but they're both fantastic jokers
Hate the hook, doesnt give me the chance of level Up Green joker
i hate ante 1 hook with green joker too lmao
it's only a couple of mult lost scaling tho
My Game is Stuck Like this, is there any way to fix this?
i'm assuming this is a meme
if not
don't triple copy stuntman
Credit card in buffoon pack
ur hand size is 0 which is why i assume it is doing that
im missing perkeo and trib rn
i had a decent perkeo run but i lost tho
thank you plasma deck scaling i hate you
I was trying to select a blind, then for some reason the Game crashed
Id say not playing face cards and not discarding are too much constraints, choose the one you like more and scale it
i hate plasma deck so much, i just did a few gold stake runs just to be better with the deck but it feels so bad to play at high stakes imo
Didnt Work, i cant skip the Pack either
you get softlocked if you back out in the middle of a charm tag skip
i really do feel like plasma deck revolves more around luck for some reason?
i mean "skill issue, every deck and seed is winnable" but plasma deck is different
luck and extremely high skill ceiling
floor*
probably floor
plasma is harder to play if you know mostly everything about the game
It wasnt in the middle, i was choosing some playing Cards and for No reason, my Game crashed and now im softlocked
that's black deck
I got a negative delayed gratification lets gooo
it’s so over bro
hi
Hi
I bet this obelisk run is gonna cook as well, I got it from a judgement
use ur hand as discard wdym
Hello
idk how much u score tho
oh great point
hello how's the day been treating u
it’s not over
lmao
it's been alright
good to know
I first spam flushes then later I spam the other hands
you code?
Guys the plant is the Next Boss im scared
Me?
yes
Im learning
luchador next shop frr
oh sameee
Trib would be the hardest ain't it
extremely specific set of jokers to even do anything so yes
Oh thats cool, Mind If i send a friend requests rq? If you dont Mind ofc
python
theres like chad and sock, thats it
3 hours tho damn
dusk, red seals?
deck fixing
just a video teaching basic stuff
Guys on bus meme trib without chad and blue seal trib with chad and blue seal
Eternal red card or dagger?
W
Depends on the scenario
Ante 1 black deck
How good is this boy?
Ante 1 dagger. Tho
the green deck is lowk too easy i’ve got two wins on it now
Okay
very
might see how far i can go with this and after that i’ll try to beat red deck
S tier?
I lost
it gets hard at blue stake imo
top 3 first round jokers to see imo
borderline
Damnnn alr, I see I see
green deck white stake is whooping my ass dawg
I'd like balatro more if it just didn't throw away all my work if I don't win. If I spend 30 minutes and fail, it's all for nothing. I've given up on the game because it's just too much of a time waster.
start spending aggro at every shop
What does green deck to?
i find green deck one of the easiest on gold stake tbh, early money is rly good for consistency with me.
it’s not for nothing, it’s for the love of the game
no interest, money for remaining hands and discards
+2 money per hand left +1 money per discard left but no interest
That's actually pretty good
Does money tree affect interest? Like, does it begin interest?
this is how roguelikes work, i think this just means roguelikes aren't for you
On green deck
The Last of Us Part II did roguelike better
this is not a roguelike?
💀
pairs are really expensive on green deck gs. rentals have a slightly tougher time to manage with the lack of interest money as your crutch and limiting your discards for value searching in your deck as there is a paywall behind using one
It has one
Gosh darn, the first useless item scenario I'm seeing in Balatro
there's several
Wait until you find out about bloodstone
i agree with all this, but i still find myself winning more on green deck gold stake than all but like 3 other decks
Should i reset now?
this is like an incredible starting pair of jokers
Not feeling lucky today
Hmm? As long as you have heart cards...
why would u
it's barely in the bottom 5 but the distance of difficulty between green and like zodiac isn't too far out
rtb obelisk are great jokers, pump up ur most played hand a bit then pivot to obelisk scaling
Chat, what hand should I focus on? I have fire joker round 1
hmm banana
given agnostic chip sources
I lost
it's always pairs
high card or pair, pair is generally better
play tomorrow
no
They seem doable
two pair I only recommend on black/plasma
pair is the best hand for consistency
as a backup alternative
Should i play 2 pairs instead of pairs? Im on black deck Orange stake
i do find it very cool how there are so many nuances in the choices made that my best decks are different to other peoples' best decks
i mean yellow deck being my most consistent is probably a pretty common thing tbf
I coulddddd use discards
I'm just trying to understand what's efficient here
yeah that's a common benefit for yellow
it's usually pairs
pair is rly rly good with burnt joker, and the best hand to go for with winning higher stakes runs
Idol my beloved
generally u go for pairs unless u find a reason not to
Alr, i'mma try this
It took me a good minute to understand this conundrum of words
Good joke tho 
sister of the jimbo
I have 15$ i should buy a perishable mail in rebate right?
How do I make better pair hands, though? The base amounts are kinda bad
it will make u a ton of money in 5 rounds
gamble no more
twisted cards
I lost
scaling mult sources via hands or money. rely on 5 card hands short term if you don't have access to them atm. mult sources are common
Which common jokers are safe bets?
rtb, grimbo, nova
u want to go for +mult, +chips, xmult in most runs (obviously exceptions exist given every run is so different) but your scaling should come from jokers mainly
Michele gross
that's not a safe one
Oh mannnnn, I just realised burnt joker requires you to DISCARD your first hand, I see what y'all meant now
abstract, fist, red card, Steven,
you can play a hand then discard if u don't have a pair or something
u can use hands for discards
jolly can be decent
Aha
Rtb is?
ride the bus

Ok, I'm off to go try a burnt joker run
i'm sure you know this but you should be looking for any form of scaling +mult, a good chips joker (scaling ones are even better), and xmult to win most runs
also pretty much any econ joker is good if u have space
Will this discard trigger burnt joker?
yes
Nice
I'm trying, kinda new to the game 🤞
u will pick it up very quickly i'm sure
What the heck, just 2 upgrades and it's already 40 x 4
very good boy
weird as it sounds but losing a lot is a good way to learn more about the game
if you self reflect
im losing a lot and i never learn that much
I thought you were calling me a good boy 😭
the chips scale pretty fast in upgrading pairs, u do need some mult jokers tho cos pairs don't give much mult even at high levels
i have some restraint
unless you're burnt joker
than i'm calling burnt joker a good boy regardless
I’m new to this game I just got red stake what decks should I focus on?
🫳

for winning and learning the game i'd recommend yellow deck
deck you mean
ye lol
easy obelisk win
it's a very good deck and doesn't have weird gimmicks so u learn the fundamentals
other decks can be more fun but they play in a more unique way
(idk why balatrocord isn't allowing gifs)
Just imagine the gif is playing
i'll close my eyes now and imagine it for a few seconds dw
is there a world i can take campfire and it wont be a bad idea
flash card isnt exactly a cheap joker to s ale
campfire flashcard is good synergy imo
flashcard makes u wanna roll
which gives u more tarots and planets to sell
also campfire is a fantastic joker
try getting some purple and blue seals in ur deck
if u can go into a new ante with 2 consumables then it massively speeds up getting x2
and x2 mult is enough to make a joker good imo
Me and burnt joker
ETERNAL EGG
lol, this is me with red card, i never picked it up cos i was convinced it was awful then when i finally did i realised how strong it is
same
Red card, red card...
Guys are you team odd Tom or even Steven
got this last run and picked it up lol cos i had the slot
Omg he's there when i don't need him
baron is a bad joker if ur not tryna get naneinf btw
it's not lol, both are money hungry
It's not a bad joker per say
try picking it up a few times, it's better than u wld think
ok so i made it work
Guys, ante 6 black deck Orange stake, i have a holo Fortune teller with +18 a marble joker campfire acróbats negative blue and an active drivers license, should i pick a holo constelation or a x2'25 throwback?
Black deck?
16$ now
xmult that goes before ur +mult is very inconsistent in high stakes
Yes
by just restricting the flasg card scaling and getting some good seals from paxks
i have 2 blues and 1 purple which will help fuel the fire
×mult before +mult is inconsistent pretty much everywhere I've seen
From the omelette to my failed gold stake run
miku
never said it couldn't, you just have to have an above average econ run via jokers or high rolls
I know this is highly inefficient. But what a weird seed this was😂
I love Red Card
It's already the base amount of a SF 😱
I need a blueprint...
What does Canio do again
what you need is a better flat mult joker
Gives +x1 mult when a face card is destroyed
I just got it out of a soul so it’s not leveled like at all. But the amount of X mult jokers that showed up this run was crazy.
Plus the natural negative hack, on erratic that had already given me like seven 3s to start. And like 3 invisibles have shown up lol
imo hologram is the most consistent xmult joker
yorick
u only need 1 hanged man to get to x2 mult which is already good
ok i forgot yorick lol
Cavendish gives you a pure ×3 but you need the Gros Michel to expire
and then find cavendish too
What does that one do (spare me only got 1 legendary ever)
hologram is prob #3 for scalers
Yeah funny enough there was also a hung man in the tarot that had the soul
discards to scale
what's your number 2? constellation?
what's the top 2? and where's castle and trousers
i got baron on my last run and a couple runs before that so i thought it would be smart this time to get as many standard packs as possible to farm kings as well as spectral packs in hopes of duplicating kings but u rlly dont get enough time with ante 8
prob campfire
scaling xmult i think
Supernova is cool I guess
oh true but it does reset
I think i won
resetting isn't an issue generally
ah that's fair, i think i prefer hologram because i see it more which isn't an objective measurement
with that logic where's htr
next time i hit endless with a build like that ill just continue getting as many kings in the deck as possible is this an established strat or am i a genius
That's because adding cards is not the way
I'm just going to come out and give my EXTREMELY hot take...
||mail in rebate is a good joker||
Okay that wasn’t as weak as I thought it was
somewhere in the lower middle
nooo
?????????? what do you mean that getting a ton of money every round is good?????????
rebate has no mult or chips
oh ok how would u do it though
it must be bad
i’ve only got like 9 hours on this game so ion know the strats
Thin the deck as much as possible
ahh i see
Removing cards is way better than adding cards
I didn't consider that
eats MIR
i’ll do that next time
adding cards is fine in high stakes, u wanna go for pairs which is easy to get with a big deck. obviously u don't wanna be adding bad cards but a big deck is completely fine
I hate Bloodstone
Eeeeeh
card sharp baron and burglar i think that would be cracked
baron thinks they're on the team
not burglar
mike
mime*
i meant mime
I hate Baron
One thing I'm noticing playing burnt joker with pairs is that tarot cards have less of an impact on the run
mime is a decent joker, baron is bad imo
I love jokerless, can anybody guess what rank i needed for my straight? :)
mime gives u a ton of gold card and blue steel synergy
baron has never done me wrong
5
it's rly inconsistent cos it goes before ur _mult
retriggers held in hand effects
wdym
retriggers held in hand effects
so gold card, blue seal, etc
Ohhh
goddamn jinx
good point
Steel
retriggering steel if ur a pairs build is kinda meh
gold and blue seal is the best part of mime imo
this run feels like it should not have won
flashcard, stuntman and campfire are great jokers
flash card sucks ass but was already somewhat scaled when the rental campfire came up
that's not to say there aren't any common benefits 
which synergises badly due to being 2 costly jokers at once
i had fibonnaci in my first ever win as well lol
now i rarely pick it up
i like it a lot
fibs good
i find it ok
it's 16 mult minimum most of the time
i feel like johnny joestar using it
and on about half of your playing cards
easy mult
i generally am only getting 16 mult off it and for an uncommon that's not amazing. i still pick it up without a better +mult joker cos it's a decent option but it's not as good as i thought it was when i started
Gold stake baron
it gives you direction and a chance to pivot into 2 pairs for bigger benefit (and aj/steel ig)
these are good points, i'll consider picking it up more cos i love 2 pair builds.
be me
get perkeo
shenanigans_ensue.png
realize my only other joker is an eternal madness
also being before steel is huge tbf
they're fun
i want to do a high card build
Did you just make a greentext on discord
most on card scoring jokers usually gives me a reason to pivot into one
high card is the second easiest to win with imo
yeah
i’ve never tried it
is even steven good? i hardly ever pick it up tbh. I quite like odd todd cos i feel the 31 chips is more impactful
I think it's #4
it's "good enough"
i’ve only won with pair baron and flush baron
obviously pair one, then is it two pair 2 and uhhh
what's 3rd?
straights
I have a crazier "how the fuck did this win" run
u have straights at third? that's surprising
this build is funny af ngl, like it's clear that it would win but it's very funny
do i ankh photo or chad? im being a goof
saturns have the highest scaling out of any reasonable 5 card poker hands
and given zero direction
i need to try out more straights then, i think i've won on gold stake with a straights build once ever
Cryptid the queen
just cos i wanted to gold sticker shortcut
it involves an intermediate level of discarding knowledge and deck fixing but they're among my favorites while being good
cryptid goated
Shortcut is Very good
essentially the glass cannon build of balala
especially with flush deck and/or baron
i think i'm good at discarding knowledge and deck fixing tbh so imma try it out more ty for the info
💀
Maybe even top 40 joker
i assumed straights were bad so i didn't go for them
outside of like plasma deck with runner
straight flush looks like an inconvenience i’ve never went for that one
the majority of straights power comes from saturns
💀 its always funny imagining such sentences out of context
this is very funny out of context lol
I've had more strush runs than flush runs in gs if that means anything
thoughts on full house
worst poker hand lol
baltro spectral card reference???
in terms of both scaling and niches outside of
seance isnt a spectral card but it gives spectrals so
oh ok so i shouldn’t go for it
screw you haters
Earth card would have to be +2/+40 to make full house a consideration to build around
guys do i need more purple seals?
Or maybe +3/+20
this is such a sad buffoon pack for me lol
like ik the answer is rtb
but i love these jokers so much
i don't wanna choose 1
i wanna choose both
High cards should be the first card in your hand not the highest rank in your hand
I hate Bloodstone
silly pics for reference
and this is abit crazier but if you're holding two types of hands in one hand you should be able to choose between them
I love jokerless so much man
You're also cardless...
480 chips runner is crazy lol
its the remianing cards
Oh
They're calling it the greatest Hologram pick up of all time?
and vamp
how tf do u have the literal perfect madness build lmao
wheres your deck
aha
Ikr? Lol
bottomdecked once again
Guys it's perkolator time
how sad
banner needs a rework because its terrible
it is
it should give +300 chips per discord instead of 30
Banner is fine
banner is decent with a discard voucher imo
and not even awful without one
yummy banner
+60 chips is nothing to scoff at early tbf
it will get a buff next update those who nose
i do not really like banner
even later during the run
i mean a late in the run conditional +60 chips is pretty bad tbf
but it's obviously decent early
if anything i can see a buff from +30 to +40 chips for banner
and if u have 1 discard voucher +90 is decent
but then the whole +30/4 gets ruined right
which is whats taken into consideration tbf
holy bait
I wish it wasnt foil
Guys guys guys hear me out ankh
I can always hold it for the chips and temp value
look i mean you have some consistent scoring with +50/10
500 chips isnt too bad
foil is prob the only argument of taking it in the first place
you do kill your whole econ
RIP Trib
massacre, even
which do i replace, my castle is at +33 chips
i'd maybe do odd todd?
or burnt
im not sure
banner is also a good contender
Idt ur build wanted tribb, big deck and good scaling after deck
got any of them fish in those chips
sly joker
sly my goat
i'm on plasma deck
ik
@narrow wadi
I crode when it happened
Is it even worth??
ITS WORTH
Yeeeah, probably not
the lobotomy agenda is spreading
I WAS GONNA SAY PERKEO IS THE ONLY VALUABLE THING
While the pair level is getting funny af i feel obliged to tell you that each level is less impactful than the last
NOW I CAN GET A BUNCH OF HEIROPHANTS I LOVE HEIROPHANT
you sold the second best one 💔
Why
Whatever do you mean?
Odd tod, the one left of it or the one right of the castle
diminishing returns but nothing wrong with that
it's the same addition to the base scoring, the higher ur base scoring is the less each addition matters
unless you need a reason to not do that
but higher level is still better
the pair lobotomizer
spreading the agenda
I don't get it
make players great again
Oh lol, it's a good strat I must say
so like 20-40 is a way bigger jump than 180-200 in terms of how it affects ur score
i got brainstorm in the shop who do i replace now, my castle's at +39 chips
your planets are scaling linearly compared to the blinds scaling exponentially
Ohhhhh, I get it
in which mult and x mult exist to cover the distance between
yeah that's still good
this is still hefty in ur words, but u need +mult and xmult to keep up with the blind scaling
i might get rid of burnt joker, my pairs are already level 16
more leeway against a couple planet specific boss blinds
I'm not getting any xmult jokers 😢
this is the struggle in most of my gold stake runs lol
no point if there isnt something better :3

also btw things like photograph and baron aren't as consistent as other xmult jokers because they trigger before your +mult jokers
do you mean perkeo when you say "something better"
Omg omg omg
i mean like xmult or a joker that does something currently stronger than +1 mult and 15 chips every round
not legendary
OMG YOU GOT WRATHFUL JOKER /j
scaling more is always good so unless its some nasty money joker or xmult or something no point to dimp burnt so easily
why is idol in there
fair
Lmao carto gave me hermie
Because it was a potential x2
isn't temporance better with a legendary joker
this might be my luckiest run ever i just got invis in the shop
It is, but hermie still nice
true
+10 bucks
Ooof
also with any discount voucher temp might become worse, it probably wouldn't but still might
My temperance is at 22
from 10 to 7 to 5
u have a discount voucher surely?
Nope
rentals have 1 dolla sell value
i didn't see the rental tag mb
