[heavy heron]

oh bro this is rough

[pale wolf]

You can play one more pair which is nice

[heavy heron]

i mean it could be worse though

[white zodiac]

that was an old ss

[heavy heron]

high card really isn’t enough?

[white zodiac]

2 pair and below is banned

[pale wolf]

Wait no high card?

[white zodiac]

hc I can do to search for another better hand

[heavy heron]

true

[pale wolf]

ok

[heavy heron]

full house?

you have lots of kings and aces

[white zodiac]

another hc kills me though or I have to one shot on the final hand

[pale wolf]

would a straight win

[vernal bay]

Hi drunkard?

[heavy heron]

if you still have 3 hands i think you’re chilling

[heavy heron]

rental…. and on painted? maybe not

[pale wolf]

I think you have to one shot on the final hand anyways? I mean you literally are forced to play a high card right now anyways

[white zodiac]

doesn't one shot unless I pull both glass and foil red seal

[vernal bay]

I know, just surprising seeing the lad in a cheap suit

[white zodiac]

it's about what I discard for

[heavy heron]

you have blue joker so you’ll have decent chips too and flat mult is taken care of via holographic so i really think full house, 4 oak both work

[vernal bay]

Can't even take him for the sell value

[pale wolf]

but you don't have discards

[white zodiac]

discarding both aces or one

[white zodiac]

throwaway hand

[heavy heron]

oh yeah you have mystic summons too

[pale wolf]

You just said you can't play a pair

[white zodiac]

oh yeah

I meant 0 or 1

[pale wolf]

narrowing down the options I think a straight is the only thing you can do

or luckily drawing into a flush with the world which I don't think wins anyways

[white zodiac]

im out of queens

[pale wolf]

ohh

I missed that, or misread or something

[vernal bay]

ALL THE FUCKING JOKERS I WANT ARE RENTAL

[white zodiac]

here it is again

[heavy heron]

oh bro i’m throwing a full house kills you

i just realized

LOOLLL

6.4x apparently isn’t as big as i thought

[white zodiac]

what

[heavy heron]

base mult only around 30

on most hands

[heavy heron]

your full house will look something like

160 x 211

which is terrible

[vernal bay]

That's barely anything

[white zodiac]

fh is what I'm trying to look for with the glass 10 and ace

[vernal bay]

Not even 60k

[heavy heron]

oh you have glass?

hmm

[vernal bay]

Oh well 160 is even wors

e

[white zodiac]

saving glass on face card hand

[heavy heron]

wouldn’t it make more sense to justice a face card

since you have sock

or do you mean

10 is already glass

[heavy heron]

oh

I SEE

[pale wolf]

doc would've just played 10 2pairs

[white zodiac]

waiting for foil ace triples my base mult

[night turret]

I know right

[heavy heron]

full house red seal ace and glass king (justice)

sounds like enough

[white zodiac]

I can't rly choose where to put my glass is the thing

[heavy heron]

oh yeah…

bell

[white zodiac]

so part of me wants to throw the ace first hand

[pale wolf]

it comes down to a lot of luck

[white zodiac]

mhm

[heavy heron]

wait

[vernal bay]

[heavy heron]

you can’t just play high card 10 and discard everything to the right of the 10?

[bleak blaze]

Anyone want an omelet?

[heavy heron]

and look for ace/king (and pray bell is nice)?

i don’t quite remember what’s in your hand

[vernal bay]

Crack it |!

[heavy heron]

looking for the red seal ace is going to be rough

[pale wolf]

yeah I would keep more Aces in hand just in case you draw a 4oak

[vernal bay]

make them eggs!

[heavy heron]

0 discards?

okay so it really is more like

do you gamble for 4oak ace (i.e. you have to get rid of your kings) or play full house and justice a face card

[white zodiac]

either I'm risking more of the bell hitting a bad card on my second/third hand discarding 1 ace, or im lowering my probability of pulling my two desired cards I want to play

[pale wolf]

You have an open slot

[white zodiac]

im not doing 4oak ace

k

[heavy heron]

that’s smart probably

[heavy heron]

i wouldn’t discard an ace though

i’d keep both aces and kings

and just high card 10 (obviously discarding everything to the right of it too) assuming i’ve understood the situation properly

it’s risky, sure, but you’ve drawn too many kings and aces early to not make a risky choice

[white zodiac]

dedge

[heavy heron]

load

[heavy heron]

well now you’re kinda forced to try

maybe misprint?

and try and look?

what you’ll get?

[pale wolf]

A fair usage of misprint Tech

[white zodiac]

I haven't touched misprint on this profile yet

hmm maybe

[heavy heron]

it’s not cheating imo

[white zodiac]

ik

[heavy heron]

i’d do it, it’s just in collection

[pale wolf]

I mean I would have just played and lost the run hours ago myself

[nova mantle]

Riches that cant be taken, or wonders that make you poor

[night turret]

Got blueprint, is it worth to sell anything?

[heavy heron]

same LOOLLL

ain’t no way i’m getting an obelisk to 6x with only 8 pairs played

[vernal bay]

Goes hard

[white zodiac]

wow 7 of hearts 😐

[alpine basalt]

oh this is tragic

[heavy heron]

ah hell nah

[pale wolf]

gg

[white zodiac]

I had a worse obby licks run on a different deck

[heavy heron]

i mean it almost makes a straight but it’d suck

[white zodiac]

just wanted to have 2 funny runs

oh well

[heavy heron]

also

if you have to

[nova mantle]

8 is like the lowest threshold you can go to make obelisk work

[heavy heron]

consider selling sock

so stencil gets better

if you can’t make use of

face cards

in final hand

in fact maybe sell blue too

since it barely gives chips by last hand

[white zodiac]

well fuck my life

[heavy heron]

DAMN IT

uhhhhhh

sell sock

obviously

[nova mantle]

You gotta have a bit of luck to pull those harder hands early tho

[heavy heron]

you cant play two pair or pairs

[pale wolf]

there's nothing to be done

[heavy heron]

sell sock keep blue

justice

[nova mantle]

Or else you'll run out of easy hands

[heavy heron]

pray?

you need blue for chips high card sucks

it’s over

it’s over bro

[white zodiac]

tf is selling sock gonna do

[heavy heron]

stencil

gets better

[nova mantle]

Sock is negative

[heavy heron]

3x

and?

[nova mantle]

Sock is negative

[heavy heron]

OH

IT IS

ITS NEGATIVE

WHOOPS

[nova mantle]

LMAO

[heavy heron]

gg

You know I post video clips like this and somehow people still ask me for advice

[heavy heron]

LOOLLLL

[pale wolf]

I don't get it

[hasty harness]

crazy

[pale wolf]

is that gold or steel

[hasty harness]

gold

[pale wolf]

nice

[nova mantle]

I gotta write a book about balatro poetry

[white zodiac]

gold is shinier than steel cosmetically

[alpine basalt]

honestly, think i'm boutta sell stencil for this

[nova mantle]

Lucky 6 goes hard

[vernal bay]

Man.

I love blue sealed steel cards

[pale wolf]

sure

[heavy heron]

that’s crazy that bell killed you

[nova mantle]

Don't youll run outta scoring unless you get really lucky with yo hands

[heavy heron]

5/8 chance you win

[vernal bay]

What's 4^2 versus 3^3?

[heavy heron]

and it selected the random card on the right

[pale wolf]

The full House wouldn't have won it either

it wasn't Bell's fault

[heavy heron]

or maybe 3/8 because justice on face card

[alpine basalt]

its foil so I make it through this round, then I just buy like literally any joker

[pale wolf]

pretty sure they needed the red seal

[heavy heron]

oh yeah no red seal ace

100% needed it

no c go ps

chips

[white zodiac]

needed bell to land on a face card or seal

[nova mantle]

Good luck then 🙏

[pale wolf]

no c go ps

[heavy heron]

chilllllllll

it’s hard typing and walking

kinda

cold hands

[pale wolf]

would a glass face card have won the last round?

[heavy heron]

too cold here

[white zodiac]

if it was a full house it would barely

[pale wolf]

dang

[nova mantle]

I never thought about cerulean bell being a potential run killer if you're running obby and you ran outta high cards

[pale wolf]

I didn't feel like it instinctually at all

[heavy heron]

no time to set up obelisk is my guess as to why that flopped

[nova mantle]

Guess it's not so harmless anymore

[white zodiac]

it has a high enough base mult given planet levels

[pale wolf]

they didn't run out of high cards though

[heavy heron]

too little options

for hands

[white zodiac]

I was forced to cap out at 8 tbf

[north spindle]

on obelisk ideally you should never be close to running out of high cards imo

[white zodiac]

that's a given

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[white zodiac]

would've won on any other deck

[nova mantle]

Which means amber acorn is still the softest finisher blind

[heavy heron]

why torture yourself w black deck

[pale wolf]

I mean black does have the most stencil potential

[north spindle]

straights existing already makes amber the easiest finisher

not that bell is like
relevant often lol

[heavy heron]

speculative black deck looking for stencil

[north spindle]

even with straights

[serene forge]

no

[nova mantle]

Yeah you should always look yo play more complicated hands (straights, full houses, 4oak)

[pale wolf]

unrequited love

[white zodiac]

didn't wanna risk looking at the shop for an alternative tbf

[north spindle]

obelisk actually might be the best case for full house lol

simply because it has the property of being a distinct hand type which is the lowest praise you could possibly give

[white zodiac]

fibby prob has a more frequent argument

[pale wolf]

How come Royal flush reset my straight flush stack obelisk

[north spindle]

ig thats not quite fair bc it's also relatively easy to find compared to like. strush/4oak

which makes it "better" in the case of obelisk

[nova mantle]

Obelisk was tired that day and they wanted to reset

Can't blame em, carries too many runs

[white zodiac]

I think that's just applicable to tdl

[pale wolf]

Royal flush acts exactly the same as straight flush in every scenario except for unlocking brainstorm

[north spindle]

straight flush obelisk is also a meme
i would be entirely unsurprised to find out it has literally never happened

[vernal bay]

Hello there grimbo

[heavy heron]

and that it shows “royal flush” instead of straight flush, don’t forget that important part 🙄

[north spindle]

it and 5oak obelisk seem the least likely

[nova mantle]

When I'm running obelisk I can't decide if I should play 3oak or full house if I do get one

[white zodiac]

next run I raw dogged 4oak and 2 fh

[vernal bay]

There should be a legendary that gives 1.05x mult to each card played in a royal flush

[north spindle]

(flush 5 obelisk has the bugged seeds)

[pale wolf]

https://youtu.be/QFZ9gqBJ2Tk?si=M5qFqjfoZkohZP_M

[north spindle]

why would this be legendary?

[nova mantle]

Only royal flush when

[north spindle]

it sounds like a mediocre uncommon

[vernal bay]

Because it would work like hiker!

[pale wolf]

I wouldn't be surprised if he's made attempts at it

[nova mantle]

This but it only gives 1.01 for each card

Too broken tbh

[north spindle]

even if it worked like hiker it would be omega garbage

[nova mantle]

Oooh

[north spindle]

royal flushes are impossible to make

[vernal bay]

No they aren't

Genuinely a skill issue

[heavy heron]

i’m kinda now realizing how problematic chips can be for an obelisk build

[north spindle]

also you need to play cards 10 times to make this do what ancient joker does

[vernal bay]

The numbers don't matter

What really matters is the concept

I think its cool

[nova mantle]

Why tho

[north spindle]

i mean the concept is cool yeah!

[pale wolf]

do you think ancient Joker is a 2X

[nova mantle]

I find it really easy to get chips with squoker if I'm running obby

[north spindle]

adding .05x each time

[pale wolf]

never mind I misread the original

[heavy heron]

well, most hands won’t be leveled via planets so you’ll need external source of chips after obelisk is built

[vernal bay]

Also I just didn't want to make a trib 3

[pale wolf]

did it get edited or something

[heavy heron]

and my guess is that you just play a hand that has good chips in itself

once obelisk is high enough to beat boss

[north spindle]

i mean you are a balatro player

[nova mantle]

Oh yeah but you should always have an external source of chips regardless

[heavy heron]

i disagree

source of chips coming from planets happens

[vernal bay]

I think it would be cool for endless run to have something that could nan-inf that doesn't rely solely upon Baron

[heavy heron]

extremely frequently

[vernal bay]

And have it actually happen in the hand

[heavy heron]

whether you’re spamming pairs or playing straights, your chips likely are coming from planets

[plucky agate]

Like in the played hand?

[nova mantle]

Don't wanna lose with 11 chips times 20,000 mult

[vernal bay]

Yeah!

[pale wolf]

It's good to get a chip Joker but they are few in number

[heavy heron]

exactly

so little chip jokers

[white zodiac]

doing c++ on black deck for the profile

[heavy heron]

and half of them suck

[north spindle]

chips are i think the reason that campfire > obelisk probably

[heavy heron]

blue joker gets literally worse throughout a round and generally only offers 50-90 chips

[vernal bay]

As far as I know the only way to nan inf with idol or trib is to get a ridiculous amount of brainstorms and blueprints

[pale wolf]

I think there are lots of reasons why campfire is better than obelisk

[heavy heron]

i see

[north spindle]

altho with obelisk its strong enough that you can like get away with mediocre chip jokers a lot of the time

[pale wolf]

obisk needs a hyperspecific game plan in order to work out and be applicable, campfire just needs money which is how you are winning anyways

[nova mantle]

Mmm, kinda yeah but it's always nice to have a chips scaler

[plucky agate]

That's fair. There are very very few ways to get naneinf and that is intentional. The only methods are with baron or perkeo

[north spindle]

i agree with this
probably should have said "the biggest reason"

[heavy heron]

i guess so, depends hand type

[white zodiac]

here's my other run that worked

[vernal bay]

Well I think this joker would be cool regardless, gives strushes a buff

[heavy heron]

8 on all 4 hands at bottom is crazy

cutting it super close

[north spindle]

i value the ability for obelisk to rescue you from death
also i think "hyperspecific" undersells it the game plan just has to be "something that doesn't care abt the type of hand ur playing" pretty much

[heavy heron]

you love the number 8 huh

[pale wolf]

As a legendary it would be absolutely the worst addition to the game

[heavy heron]

8 ball lover secretly

[nova mantle]

Blue joker obviously falls off pretty quickly but bull, squoker or runner prove pretty quickly they provide a substantial boost to your score

[pale wolf]

imagine getting a soul, selling one of your Jokers for it and then getting the fucking retrigger straight flush Joker

[vernal bay]

That's an overreaction

[pale wolf]

it is not

[nova mantle]

And you never know if the arm will hit to drain your hand levels

[white zodiac]

yeah, obby licks only has one win in my history so far, campfire I think has like 6 on black for me

[plucky agate]

I fear they're right

[north spindle]

it would feel awful as a legendary
straight flush joker sounds like it could be an uncommon

[white zodiac]

it was reasonable given deck and deck fixing atm

[north spindle]

not because it would be strong at all but i mean. it doesn't have to be

[pale wolf]

oh my God I forgot it was Royal flushes specifically too

[vernal bay]

With the effect it has it would have to be a rare

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[plucky agate]

What's the minimum amount of played hands should you ideally have for your most played hand before trying to scale obelisk

[north spindle]

uncommons get so many wacky effects i think its fine

[heavy heron]

if you already have a straight flush build working, something tells me you don’t need the legendary to win

[pale wolf]

this would absolutely not be broken or even good

[vernal bay]

I think I would put it on the same tier as baron

[pale wolf]

it would only have a slight chance of being usable on checkered deck

[vernal bay]

Holy shit yeah it wouldn't be good

[heavy heron]

for winning? yeah maybe

[vernal bay]

Baron isn't either

[heavy heron]

that’s why i’m agreeing

[upper leaf]

wha do ya think abt my balatreada

[vernal bay]

That's not the fucking point though

[pale wolf]

it could honestly be a common with how non-applicable it is to gameplay

[north spindle]

i mean i think the rare pool already has dilution issues

[upper leaf]

i had full house at like 17

[vernal bay]

Not how commons are decided

[unborn cliff]

why are you not copying cavendish

[north spindle]

like it would be nice if wraith didn't have a chance of just pulling a complete dud

[plucky agate]

Why are you copying flash card?

[upper leaf]

idk

[pale wolf]

there are no real criteria

[vernal bay]

All commons are things that require very little synergisising to make something out of

[upper leaf]

it had like 37 mult

[pale wolf]

everything is vibes

[unborn cliff]

3x is more than 2x

[vernal bay]

Except that it's aboslutely not a common

[heavy heron]

so uncommon i guess?? either way it’d suck

[plucky agate]

Cavendish would give you 3x that

[heavy heron]

and you’d take it once every 1000 games

[plucky agate]

If you copied it

[pale wolf]

photo, for one

[north spindle]

it would be bad as a common bc the effect is sort of complex and weird and also commons have effects you can actually use immediately

[vernal bay]

photo is a free glass on the first face card you play in a hand

[pale wolf]

it would be bad in any rarity because it's a bad idea :p

[vernal bay]

It's an extremely basic effect

[north spindle]

like this is a showman/seance category thing to me

[upper leaf]

yeah but that one was after the yellow boss that flipped everything i think

[heavy heron]

omg a legendary! trib? perkeo? canio? oh straight flushes

hey $10 at least!

[upper leaf]

so thats why

[heavy heron]

you know what it’d be good as a legendary

$10 good temperance value

[plucky agate]

Then why did you say I don't know

[vernal bay]

You don't have to be so difficult about it

There are nicer ways to say that

[unborn cliff]

dude just flip it back around you're on ante 10

[upper leaf]

i forgor

[north spindle]

hiker xmult on cards without a condition actually sounds like maybe cool as a legendary?

sorta triboulet-y

[heavy heron]

they’re passive aggressive without realizing imo; i’ve had the same problem with them

[plucky agate]

Also it's ante 10

[pale wolf]

if the number was much higher than it scales by and it wasn't specifically Royal flushes

[upper leaf]

i already lost tho

[nova mantle]

The most niche joker out of the legendary lineup is trib, and by how people see that one even when it's not THAT hard to make it work, now imagine the god damn straight flush legendary 😭

[upper leaf]

But thanks for the help

[unborn cliff]

probably because you didnt copy cavendish

[upper leaf]

ill haveit in mind

[heavy heron]

but yes i agree there were nicer ways to put it

[pale wolf]

I don't feel like moderating my tone and entire way of communication just to not step on someone's digital toes

[heavy heron]

and nobody told you to

i didn’t tell you to change

[upper leaf]

I lost on ante 12

[vernal bay]

You do realise that we are people, no?

[heavy heron]

you can do what you want

[vernal bay]

Do you talk this way to people irl?

[nova mantle]

It would be definitely better if it applied to all straight flushes

[pale wolf]

Yes, just like me

[nova mantle]

Don't be mean tho

[heavy heron]

i mean they’re certainly unenjoyable to talk to at times LOOLLL but i also won’t govern how other people wish to convey themselves, there are better things to worry about

[upper leaf]

[heavy heron]

so you’re valid for feeling hurt

[upper leaf]

Ommelet

[heavy heron]

but, well

nothing to be done

[vernal bay]

Yeah I just wanted to make something for Royal Flushes

[plucky agate]

Adding more incentive to play straight flushes is definitely good but the effect is much too weak to be worth it and scales very slowly

[valid berry]

the only things royal flushes directly do currently is brainstorm right?

[north spindle]

honestly if ur interested in this: you should consider making a mod to try it for yourself

[pale wolf]

seance is already a pretty poorly designed Joker because of how inconsistent playing a strush is, and royal flushes are gonna be like 1/8th of those

[plucky agate]

Yeah discarding one

[valid berry]

yeah

[heavy heron]

2 LEGENDARIES IS CRAZY

[vernal bay]

I'm a lucky lass

[heavy heron]

seance would make perfect sense to me if 6th sense didn’t exist

otherwise, sixth is leagues above

leagues

[pale wolf]

6th sense is hard for me cuz It's clearly trying to be self-sabotaging by destroying the sixes, but card removal is also good so it just ends up being a double positive

[north spindle]

i dont think being niche is poorly designed
seance is really more of a problem because the effect is just pretty weak

[heavy heron]

i see your perkeo was copying the humble high priestess

[plucky agate]

Sixth sense is great

[autumn vector]

Ewww fake merch

[heavy heron]

nah i doubt it but it’d be funny if it was

[autumn vector]

Merch

[north spindle]

like i can imagine if seance gave a negative spectral
would be more exciting

still not strong

[vernal bay]

Oh no I end all my runs at ante 8

[heavy heron]

me too!

[autumn vector]

Are we all buying this

[vernal bay]

I think I was copying a hanged man

[nova mantle]

Eh, in my opinion ones gotta be a bit more tougher if you wanna be on any part of the internet, and if you wish there's always the block button

[heavy heron]

i knew you weren’t actually copying high priestess, but it’s funny to imagine

[vernal bay]

I'm perfectly content with telling someone that they're being rude if they are

Even if it makes me thin skinned

[valid berry]

i like seance more sometimes cause it can activate more than once

[heavy heron]

it really doesn’t

[valid berry]

like two sixth senses is useless

[nova mantle]

It achieves 2 things coz the other is to get one to say "damn I missed a 10 of hearts to get a royal flush"

[pale wolf]

Im okay with being perceived as rude for just stating what im thinking

[balmy ridge]

HOLY SHIT ITS HAPPENING

[pale wolf]

I don't go out of my way to hurt people's feelings and so I don't feel unjustified in my words

[north spindle]

tone is hard on the internet
also i think just the way criticism is interpreted is in general a hard thing to do esp just over text

[vernal bay]

This is anti-social behaviour

[pale wolf]

thats okay

[white zodiac]

zebby is one of the nicer ones I've seen here

[pale wolf]

I have a job and a hobby and friends

[nova mantle]

Oh ofc, sometimes people don't realize those things for themselves

[heavy heron]

i don’t think most rude people are self aware of how they convey themselves, so

[nova mantle]

That's fine too ✅

[heavy heron]

well to be fair you’re kind of being rude now

[pale wolf]

if sometimes I seem as insufferable to others as they tend to be for me, zero sum game perhaps

[hearty dagger]

Alrighty, what’s the move now

[vernal bay]

I know

[heavy heron]

i see?

[balmy ridge]

#🕹・game-discussion not life-discussion

[pale wolf]

I'm not offended because I already know it's how I am

[heavy heron]

wow guys balatro

[nova mantle]

Yep

[heavy heron]

i certainly love that game

[balmy ridge]

what's bal atro?

[pale wolf]

i do like balatro

[heavy heron]

did you guys know balatro involves cards

[nova mantle]

Guys what's y'all favorite chips joker

[heavy heron]

i thought it was an RPG

[balmy ridge]

like pokemon cards?

[nova mantle]

Mines squoker

[balmy ridge]

WRONG REPLY

[pale wolf]

my favorite joker is hiker

[balmy ridge]

i like square

[plucky agate]

Sly joker

[vernal bay]

I was going to say that I get an absurd amount of souls

[balmy ridge]

hiker + abandoned = ❤️

[valid berry]

wee

[heavy heron]

my favorite joker is scholar

[pale wolf]

this is a good pick

[hearty dagger]

Can someone tell me what I should be going for now

[valid berry]

more souls than talismans

[vernal bay]

I play entirely unseeded

[pale wolf]

next stake

[plucky agate]

I just like his vibe

[balmy ridge]

what the hell? yes that's alot

[heavy heron]

i was on ghost deck for a while

[pale wolf]

sly is 100% the front page joker with the most usage

[valid berry]

sly joker is pretty cool

hes blue

[hearty dagger]

No, like what jokers I’m looking for, flush 5 of heart jacks idk

[heavy heron]

kinda switching to every deck until i master gold stake on it without abusing pairs

pairs is easy way out

[balmy ridge]

3oak almost as good

[valid berry]

im trying to get myself out of the easy noob trap of flushes

[balmy ridge]

do straight flushes only if you got the balls

[nova mantle]

Goated pick

[alpine basalt]

I dunno guys, but I think this run might be lost

[pale wolf]

pairs is mastery of the game :p

[plucky agate]

50 chips for basically free is just neat

[nova mantle]

Next ante

[hearty dagger]

Bro

[balmy ridge]

those must be some big pants!!!!!!!

[nova mantle]

Next round if you want something soon

[heavy heron]

pairs is the least amount of nuanced choice making needed to win

[balmy ridge]

plus sized lol

[white zodiac]

2 2oak is the hidden gem of hard decks ❤️

[alpine basalt]

those pants are pretty big

[hearty dagger]

I’m asking about joker strats and deck fixing, I’m not a good player so I wanna know what people do in this situation

[valid berry]

my favorite joker is madness

[heavy heron]

atp id just copy hologram w brainstorm too

[alpine basalt]

more funny this way

[north spindle]

idk
i think i might go jolly more

[balmy ridge]

i think it's obvious what my favorite joker is...

[valid berry]

i just like how cool that it gets 10x better on a higher difficulty

[nova mantle]

Oh sorry 😭 but like are you having a run right now or what

Or do you want to be a better playee

[alpine basalt]

besides i'm only underscoring by -4800000 each hand smh

[nova mantle]

Player*

[plucky agate]

Get 25$ for interest. Always have at least 25$

[hearty dagger]

Yeah, also like just for future advice, I haven’t been able to know how to deck fix yet

[balmy ridge]

what's your question

[north spindle]

at the start fo the game 8 mult >> 50 chips and later on they're both pretty bad deals for a joker slot

[plucky agate]

Econ. Get money

See tarot cards and shops

[pale wolf]

I mean I did tell you what i do in that situation ;p next run

[nova mantle]

Spare trousers mentioned ❤️‍🩹

[hearty dagger]

How to spend my Econ so I’m scaling, that’s all I’m asking

Big number = me happy

[valid berry]

also it was my first gold stake so im a little bias

[balmy ridge]

keep at interest caps when possible, don't roll too much in one shop (spread rerolls through the ante), block arcana and celestial packs from tarots/planets from shop, always good if you can get any econ jokers early, even if they suck

[hearty dagger]

This run I just finally beat black stake after a while

[nova mantle]

Oh well, play more pairs, pairs are goated especially if you get the planet card for it
Always keep your interest maxed
Learn to get and play chips jokers they're mad underrated

[balmy ridge]

honestly you'll learn alot from watching drspectred

balatro university on youtube

[hearty dagger]

Yea

[plucky agate]

^

Doc is simply the goat

[pale wolf]

yeah the Jokers that actually get better on the higher stakes are cool
campfire, madness, uuuuuuhhhh

[balmy ridge]

im watching his video right now

seems like he might sort of maybe know how to get money... a little. i guess

[north spindle]

hex (not a joker tho)

[plucky agate]

Maybe just a little

[pale wolf]

truee destruction mechanics

[nova mantle]

And ofc, playing more means you get better

[balmy ridge]

i JUST said that dude

[nova mantle]

Where

[north spindle]

also sac dagger is ???

probably worse?

[balmy ridge]

copying my flow

[nova mantle]

Oh damn I didn't see it 😭

[pale wolf]

uuuuh a little better i think

[balmy ridge]

im like water

[north spindle]

rentals are sometimes nice for being super cheap scaling for it tho?

[white zodiac]

chips are valued more for jokers over the mult counterpart usually for smaller hands

[pale wolf]

rentals are an upgrade

[balmy ridge]

im the water in the ocean you're uhhh

[plucky agate]

It wasn't good in the first place

[balmy ridge]

like concrete idk

sorry i dont mean to be mean

[pale wolf]

dagger is fine +mult

[acoustic kettle]

Dagger is dagger

[unborn cliff]

canio thinks hes on the team

[balmy ridge]

objectivelly untrue

[nova mantle]

Should've said their channel is balatro university tho idk if it comes up if you search dr spectred

[balmy ridge]

dagger i hardly know her!! heh

[acoustic kettle]

Either you like it or tolerate it

[balmy ridge]

.

[nova mantle]

I don't wanna be concrete 😭

[plucky agate]

It's fine but it's not good

[pale wolf]

the channel title is balatro university but the account name is drspectred

[valid berry]

its better if ur lazy and forget sometimes

[acoustic kettle]

Or hate it

[plucky agate]

I don't like it

[balmy ridge]

ok ok you're apple juice

[nova mantle]

Tasty

[valid berry]

if ur xmult is eternal then you dont gotta move it around bing bang like that

[balmy ridge]

anyway should i hold r?

[north spindle]

i do like sac dagger laziness for sure

[valid berry]

bad run yes

[balmy ridge]

im serious

going for naneinf but idk if it's gonna be possible

[acoustic kettle]

Copying immolate is crazy econ

[valid berry]

why is it pink

[cloud sinew]

blue deck streak of 2 :3

the yuri grind is going crazy

[balmy ridge]

but not the $50 temp?

[pale wolf]

hey uhh doesnt this mean P(o)S put drspectred as a search tag on that short

[acoustic kettle]

Well

[nova mantle]

Didn't know that lol

Anyways

[balmy ridge]

OH my GOD dude these mother cluckers better stop it with these stupid fireworks its scaring me

[nova mantle]

Can't this damn train go faster I wanna get to my house goddammit

[balmy ridge]

buy balatro on ur phone :p

[cloud sinew]

it might be YouTube's AI that's to blame

[pale wolf]

im an android exclusive balatro player

[nova mantle]

Get some earplugs blud

[balmy ridge]

that guy is scum of the earth.

[pale wolf]

as fun as that is to blame, i cant stop ai

[cloud sinew]

Brit spotted

[pale wolf]

but i can reasonably affect pirate software 🤬

[acoustic kettle]

Balatro lags sometimes

[balmy ridge]

IM wearing my $600 noise cancelling headphones and i can still hear everything i hate it

not everything

just fireworks

they're like right across the street

i wish i had a gun

thats a joke

[pale wolf]

fireworks in britain
uuuuh

guy fawkes?

[cloud sinew]

yes

[balmy ridge]

i'm not in britain

[nova mantle]

I also get scared of fireworks tbf, they sometimes be felling like they fired right beside you

[pale wolf]

cool glad i knew that somehow

[balmy ridge]

FOR ME THEY ARE

fucking paul

do uhh

[cloud sinew]

fireworks should be illegal to own as a civilian but that's a different conversation

balatro

[balmy ridge]

are negative tarots prevented from showing in packs?

[white zodiac]

oh come off it

[cloud sinew]

yes

[valid berry]

what

oh

yes

[acoustic kettle]

I mean

They behave like normal

[cloud sinew]

so yes

[nova mantle]

Pirate software is so scummy tho, that's something id expect

[valid berry]

i had the same idea earlier

[sleek valley]

i hope i get a hack

[valid berry]

get a negative of all the bad ones

[hearty dagger]

Who gets replaced here, supernova?

[valid berry]

at that point just copy the good one

[cloud sinew]

yes

[hearty dagger]

Also who gets blueprinted here

[acoustic kettle]

What if

[balmy ridge]

it's illegal to drink more than 4 units of alcohol a day but legal to buy toys which can kill people

[valid berry]

chigo....

[balmy ridge]

yo chico

[pale wolf]

abc

[north spindle]

in photochad snova should be doing basically nothing so yeah

[jovial mica]

<< has a fear of loud noises and several neighbours launching fireworks

[acoustic kettle]

Stone joker got buffed so it scales everytime a stone card is scored

[north spindle]

and you have chicot so you don't need any sort of backup plan

just photochad to win

[cloud sinew]

how much would it scale by

[hearty dagger]

So who to blueprint

[nova mantle]

Damn 😭 good luck

[sleek valley]

hack would be game changing

[north spindle]

with bp/photo, chad, and suskin you can probably just coast to the end

[acoustic kettle]

100

[pale wolf]

50 chips per stone card ofc

[acoustic kettle]

[cloud sinew]

depends on what cards you're scoring (red seal? glass? poly?, and how many?)

[jovial mica]

suskin?

[nova mantle]

600 dollars for sound cancelling headphones they must sound so lovely

[north spindle]

probably photo

[acoustic kettle]

Bock and suskin

[jovial mica]

oh

[acoustic kettle]

[hearty dagger]

I don’t know how to deck fix so my deck sucks rn that’s what I was asking for advice on what to go for

[pale wolf]

what about a stone-exclusive vampire joker

for chips

[nova mantle]

Mine are like 40 dollars and the js make a humming sound if I turn on noise cancelling

[pale wolf]

sounds silly

[sleek valley]

Lucky cat is the most underrated joker

[cloud sinew]

free win, I just need to not get greedy

[balmy ridge]

they do!! im a bit of an audophile i guess so i have 4 pairs of headphones

[north spindle]

ohhh wait ur in endless mb
u still sell snova regardless in that situation tho lol

[pale wolf]

open buffoon

[random ice]

It's very good but imo Merry Andy is the most underrated

[north spindle]

im pretty sure photo is still the thing

[white zodiac]

what if hiker was compatible with vamp

[balmy ridge]

im so jealous you have c++, i'm like 500/1200 :c

[random ice]

Hikers so damn weird

[pale wolf]

a sixteenth of the time this ruins the run

[acoustic kettle]

Retriggers going crazy

[nova mantle]

I'm now felling regret I haven't got balatro on my phone this ride back home feels like eternity

[balmy ridge]

cool idea too op i think

[random ice]

I kind of like Hiker, if I have a spare slot and excess cash I draft Hiker

It's just a net positive

[pale wolf]

hiker gets slept on

[hybrid tendon]

first message I see when I come in here, this is fate

[north spindle]

i feel like troubador is too

[random ice]

You can even take a rental Hiker ante 1 to buff up some cards a tiny bit then sell it in the same round

[hybrid tendon]

I love yuri

[balmy ridge]

should i press the button?

[random ice]

It's technically the optimal play

[balmy ridge]

i want to press the big red button

[pale wolf]

ofc

if you aren't taking rental Jokers and selling them before the round ends when you can get value out of them, you're just playing wrong

[hybrid tendon]

no, at least sell burnt and swash smh

[nova mantle]

That sounds like a dream I'll hopefully save up to get another pair on Christmas

[random ice]

I love funky Rental advantages

[balmy ridge]

how DARE you tell me to sell the greatest joker ever!!!

[random ice]

Rental Cola is one of my favorites

Literally just free double tag

[hybrid tendon]

nuh uh that's gros michel

[north spindle]

there aren't really that many jokers that can take advantage of rental like that tho are there? i feel like its somewhat uncommon

[random ice]

It's so silly

[random ice]

No lmao

[white zodiac]

you can get value like this with most rentals, hiker just has a permanent effect technically

[nova mantle]

I want a pair of expensive ones to get the good noise cancelation do you got a recommendation

[random ice]

Any joker where something happens in the round

[cloud sinew]

okay I even tried to get scoring... I should've taken the Uranus in the first celestial, I took a mercury and a Venus :(

[pale wolf]

invis, diet cola, luchador

[random ice]

Rental Cartomancer
rental vagabond
Rental rebate
Rental Cola
Rental Luch
Rental Midas Mask
Rental Hallucination
Rental Bean

[acoustic kettle]

Rental rebate is like punching a wall with bare hands

[random ice]

The list goes on

[acoustic kettle]

Does nothing

[random ice]

Lmao it really isn't

[jovial mica]

augh so many rentals

[cloud sinew]

invis is actually more expensive

[random ice]

If you don't make money you sell it before the round ends

[jovial mica]

oh disgusting

[balmy ridge]

check out beyerdynamic, their stuff is really good and pretty affordable (relatively). i have the dt770pro and dt1990 pro mk2 from them, they both sound and feel amazing

[acoustic kettle]

Rebate is so strong the rental is worth it

[random ice]

Like, it's literally zero loss

[north spindle]

idk maybe my threshold for "not many" is just higher

than yours

[pale wolf]

why

[balmy ridge]

more than pays for itself with one discarded card lol

[white zodiac]

technically it could be a dollar cheaper

[cloud sinew]

invis is net -$4 normally, rental invis is -$6 minimum

[cloud sinew]

?

[north spindle]

spoker is also a notable one

[random ice]

Burnt joker

[pale wolf]

oh i suppose

[random ice]

Rental Astronomer

[white zodiac]

compared to normal invis

[random ice]

There are tons of rental interactions

[north spindle]

oh yeah and chaos

[random ice]

Rental Trading Card

[sleek valley]

ggs

[random ice]

Freeroll

[north spindle]

i mean maybe it's that most of them are uncommon/rare?

[pale wolf]

you should just keep tcard tho

[random ice]

Rental Riff Raff

[acoustic kettle]

Rental golden joker though

[balmy ridge]

honestly i think perishables are harder to deal with than rentals

[random ice]

Like Rental Riff Raff is sometimes just better than actual riff raff

[nova mantle]

Rental jokers with campfire 🔥 🔥

[pale wolf]

rental rocket is the biggest glow up

[random ice]

Rental Mime

[cloud sinew]

it's not a dollar cheaper if you look at the net amount, as invis costs 8 sells for 4, you lose $4
rental invis costs $1 sells for $1, you lose $6 minimum [assuming you get it to trigger]

[acoustic kettle]

Mime is so good

[north spindle]

ok i don't get this one

[nova mantle]

I'll check them out!! Thanks dawg

[north spindle]

like yes mime is strong but how is rental relevant here

[pale wolf]

parking value I guess?

idk

[random ice]

Use it on a Parking

[nova mantle]

Gold cards ig

[pale wolf]

no

[random ice]

Gold cards trigger at round end

[acoustic kettle]

Can you sell it fast enough

[nova mantle]

Forgot parking

[north spindle]

oh parking
very niche but i suppose it does work

[random ice]

Rental 8ball lmao

[pale wolf]

but if you had parking then I would also keep the rental mime

so it doesn't seem like a valid scenario

[random ice]

Rental seance is TECHNICALLY an optimal purchase

IN CASE IT PULLS THROUGH

Rental 6th sense

[balmy ridge]

course! so if you're on a fairly tight budget i'd go for the dt770 (closed back) or dt990 (open back), each about 130-150 new but you can probably get some second hand for like 50-80 because they're a few years old by now

[white zodiac]

very noticeable on black deck

[random ice]

Rental DNA

[balmy ridge]

sorry i know this is balatro chat

oh i had question

[random ice]

Like come on, you know there are a lot of rental exploits

[north spindle]

ok there are more of these than my intuition told me i will admit

[pale wolf]

do you want to know what my favorite rental value Joker is though

[balmy ridge]

if i take hieroglyph after big blind, i go back to the small blind? or no

[pale wolf]

hallucination

[acoustic kettle]

Rental golden

[random ice]

I like rental Bean for similar reasons, it APPLIES TO PACKS TOO

[wicked shore]

Hi yall! Question can I already get nan if? Or do I keep saving money to get another blueprint?
I have retcon and only used 1 ecto

[random ice]

The handsize for packs increases

You always buy a rental Bean before opening the packs

[balmy ridge]

i had a rental vagabond recently which helped me stay under his threshold, was pretty good

[north spindle]

rental bean is actually awesome in this scenario yeah

[random ice]

Rental Hanging Chad

[pale wolf]

You should even buy a normal bean a lot of the time even if you're not going to keep it

[balmy ridge]

if i take hieroglyph after beating big blind, i go back to the small blind? or no

[pale wolf]

assuming you have an open slot of course

[north spindle]

i mean if u have an open slot
why would u not keep bean

[random ice]

Rental Dusk is the only Rental Retrigger card that you can't sell before the rental hits

[north spindle]

ig if there's something else u want immediately

[random ice]

Pretty funky

[pale wolf]

blackboard or fist perhaps

[north spindle]

yeah ig
still would keep it most of the time with those tho

[acoustic kettle]

Redboard should just be +500 chips

[pale wolf]

definitely shouldn't with blackboard unless you have lots of held in hand effects in your deck

[nova mantle]

I always love me some older flagships that go for low cuz of their age

[north spindle]

i mean i keep it if i think i can swing it

getting a second shop round with packs that effect a ton of cards is great

[random ice]

Rental Golden Ticket even

[white zodiac]

the house

[alpine basalt]

another run, another loss 😔

nat neg ramen btw

[pale wolf]

fair I suppose

[nova mantle]

Hallucination even without rental is js so goated too

[pale wolf]

yeah I usually wouldn't keep a rental hallucination but I would a normal one

[nova mantle]

My favorite tarot spawner if it wasn't for vagabond

[tame cobalt]

I am struggling with plasma deck

I saved it for last to gold stake

[long oxide]

Do I take cola here?

[pale wolf]

It's a pretty tough one to get consistently but you should be able to high roll with just one good xmult run

[alpine basalt]

plasma was my first gold stake

[tame cobalt]

I'm still trying to beat purple with it

[north spindle]

yeah
alternatively if you luck out with wee joker it can also work

[alpine basalt]

chip scaling my friend

[pale wolf]

I feel like a significant portion of people's first plasma gold wins start with stuntman

[alpine basalt]

that was my plasma win build

wee with like 10 2s and an early seltzer

[tame cobalt]

Stuntman is extremely good tbf

[delicate valve]

Is it just me or is checkered an easy deck

[tame cobalt]

Yes

[white zodiac]

the chip in a bottle

[pale wolf]

stuntman is the only real chunk of chips that can carry your entire x mult pivit for the rest of the run

[white zodiac]

both

[north spindle]

checkered is like
on the easier side probably

[delicate valve]

Hiker is good aint it

[pale wolf]

I think checkered is the easiest deck for newcomers

[nova mantle]

Plasma was my second gold stake and I can definitely remember I got stuntman on my winning run
Def didn't keep it tho, it starts wins but normally doesn't end them

[delicate valve]

*early

[delicate valve]

Balanced deck

[tame cobalt]

You can literally just roll till you get hearts or spades for your first boss blind and just play flushes with that suit the rest of the run

[pale wolf]

It's all right, if you get retriggers it can be a significant portion of your scoring even during the xmults pivot

[white zodiac]

or just completely ignore it

[north spindle]

maybe yeah
depends on what u mean exactly
like i bet its easiest for newcomers to do low stakes
gs newcomers i feel like yellow deck is probably still going to be less challenging?

[pale wolf]

we're talking about gold stake, not just winning a white steak run
i think

[tame cobalt]

Yellow was my first goldstake win

What the hell is balanced deck

[pale wolf]

plasmoid

[alpine basalt]

plasma

[tame cobalt]

Oh

[floral mural]

ngl hiker feels like a weak joker entirely because it requires you to redraw the exact same cards a lot of the time which isnt impossible to do consistently but is sure not usable scaling early it feels

[pale wolf]

it yells balanced at you every hand

[balmy ridge]

anyone know what this setting does?

[tame cobalt]

Hiker is poopy

[floral mural]

(to me from experience)

hikers probably baller on abandoned

[north spindle]

yeah esp with -1 discard

[tame cobalt]

It's still poopy

[balmy ridge]

i been saying this

its so good

[nova mantle]

The hardest deck and it yells at you too it's js mean 😭

[tame cobalt]

Way better chips sources elsewhere

[long oxide]

Is it possible to go far with late perkeo

[white zodiac]

checkered is the most straightforward, yellow is the easiest in general

[pale wolf]

no for sure hiker is subpar and the worst chip scaler, it's like a deregulated idol

[delicate valve]

Hiker loves retrigger tho

[pale wolf]

but it has good usage still

[north spindle]

like the thing with hiker is that it's actually insanely fast scaling if you're set up for it

[tame cobalt]

It's like

[robust lance]

EVERY scoring joker loves retriggers

[balmy ridge]

i think you wanna use perkeo for econ + deckfixing and sell ante 7/8 OR when you find something better

[tame cobalt]

What

Less than one tenth of a chip on average gained per hand?

[pale wolf]

this isnt very genuous

[long oxide]

This is the deck

[nova mantle]

What do you mean

[pale wolf]

you arent playing each card equally throughout a run normally let alone with hiker

[random ice]

Hiker offers a permanent benefit for temporary use of a Joker slot. Its benefit outlives the Joker

[floral mural]

hiker has its times its just the combo of a well thinned deck and retriggers is rare

thats all

[north spindle]

with hiker you want to be playing the same cards every round
like if you can consistently hiker a single card and have hanging chad it's 45 chips scaling which is bonkers

[floral mural]

imo

[white zodiac]

hiker also goes against playing pairs usually to get maximum output on average

and is susceptible to boss blunds

[balmy ridge]

yeah you have alot of work to do so just continuing to copy deaths isn't a terrible idea. should be discarding to find your poly kings then copying those as much as possible

[tame cobalt]

Worse wee

[white zodiac]

and has card draw variance

[delicate valve]

Sidenote ive been tryna unlock the legendaries but i keep getting the boss disable one smh

[north spindle]

the scaling is faster than wee?

[nova mantle]

The one that de buffs your played cards in that round (can't remember it's English name)

[tame cobalt]

Wee with retriggers and chad?

[hasty harness]

im daggering it

[white zodiac]

play on gs, you're guaranteed to get a non gs stickered legendary

[north spindle]

if hiker gets to do that too it scales faster yeah

[pale wolf]

In a general case yeah hiker is worse than wee but I wouldn't call it a worse version of wee

[delicate valve]

I dont have gs yet

[tame cobalt]

Not as funny as wee either

[north spindle]

assuming you can play the same 2s consistently

[quiet meadow]

Hi, Should I buy the brainstorm here?

[tame cobalt]

Thats the most important part

[nova mantle]

Nah

[floral mural]

for most jokers they dont have times theyre never the choice

[tame cobalt]

I can't make lazy jokes about how big my wee is

[floral mural]

apart from idol and seance i guess

[pale wolf]

this is why we need custom challenge deck mode

[tame cobalt]

Seance should be more like runner

[delicate valve]

Wee with an all 2's deck

[north spindle]

seance can be but it is very rare

[balmy ridge]

no

[tame cobalt]

Give me some permanent upgrade every time I play a strush

[pale wolf]

it would be so nice to just set up a deck with 5 2s, and check out how wee or hiker both perform throughout a run

[floral mural]

if you can use either youre already beating ante 8 through deckfixing alone

[long oxide]

What is this seed

[tame cobalt]

Idk if I see a hiker and a wee I'm grabbing the wee

[floral mural]

its funny that seance is that terrible but idol is still like much worse

[north spindle]

i mean if you can get seance "cheaply" somehow it can do something esp if you have a suit tarot in hand for some reason

[pale wolf]

correct choice

unless you don't have twos

or if you have red seals

[delicate valve]

Checkered deck or a wilds build can use seance without fixing

[tame cobalt]

The reward for playing the strush is just kinda mid

Most spectral cards mess with straight builds and not in a good way

[floral mural]

checkered deck still cant do it consistently and wilds is deckfixing

[north spindle]

and i mean this is compared to idol which is just like. terrible and basically only usable as a desperation move with hanging chad

[tame cobalt]

Thunk wanted to rework idol

[delicate valve]

Isnt idol good with a super fixed deck

[tame cobalt]

That's the issue

[floral mural]

seance is just a lot of effort for low low reward

[north spindle]

it needs more deckfixing than anything else in the game by a rediculous margin

[tame cobalt]

It's only usueable if you have an entirely fixed deck

[floral mural]

idol is needing 10 antes to be relied on deckfixing wise and you win in 8

[tame cobalt]

Make it a scaling xmult card for each time you play a strush

[pale wolf]

the 2 ways to fix idol are:
make it just [rank] instead of [rank+suit]
or make it reroll after every hand

[tame cobalt]

Or make it a different requirement besides playing a strush

[delicate valve]

1 in number of ranks in your deck chance of doubling per card

[tame cobalt]

I do like the flavor of using a difficult hand to summon a spectral card though

[balmy ridge]

dude this keeps happening. not seeded

[pale wolf]

maybe it should be two

lol

[tame cobalt]

Wouldn't fix it

Idk

[nova mantle]

A sandbox mode would work with this and many more things
Id love to get a sandbox mode

[tame cobalt]

Hmmm

[pale wolf]

any Joker based on straight flush is going to suck

[tame cobalt]

Maybe it could summon a specific spectral card?

[tame cobalt]

I stand by an xmult scaling seance for playing strush being cool

[delicate valve]

Maybe it opens a 2-pack and you pick one to enter your hand/use

[pale wolf]

if it was a big scaling step maybe that could work

[floral mural]

what if seance was like drivers license where you need to activate it by playing like 2 strushes or something and then it gives a spectral each round or something

[tame cobalt]

Yeah, like runner but beefier

[north spindle]

x1 mult per strush played sounds like a meme

[nova mantle]

Any joker based on such complicated hands is going to suck, like if we got a flush house joker or smth

[tame cobalt]

That's a great idea actually

[white zodiac]

that sounds awful

[delicate valve]

x6 mult on five flush

[pale wolf]

ohoho

I really like that actually

[tame cobalt]

Same

[cloud sinew]

I think I won

[tame cobalt]

Playing 1 strush isn't too hard, it's fun banking some tarots to do it

[alpine basalt]

nah

[north spindle]

im not convinced of the number/effect but the general concept of "play x strushes to enable y effect" sounds worthwhile

[pale wolf]

why didnt you do that last run

[tame cobalt]

Seance rewarding that would be really fun

[hasty harness]

guys i think i can win :p

[cloud sinew]

cause I didn't have those jokers

[hasty harness]

please no violet vessle

[delicate valve]

Make it like campfire

[nova mantle]

I'm pouring violet on the vessel it'll be with you soon

[north spindle]

if u mean resets each ante
that makes it not really like d.l. at all anymore

like the whole point is "hard thing to do -> payoff"

[cloud sinew]

okay

[north spindle]

campfire is "easy thing to do -> big payoff but resets"

[cloud sinew]

would've been a free win regardless

[tame cobalt]

Clearly you should take that rental joker

[cloud sinew]

unironically yes

it gives me some degree of scoring security if I somehow don't win with bus alone

and if I win with bus I sell the rental before the end of the round

[nova mantle]

Seems weird the only joker with this mechanic or similar is license

[tame cobalt]

I'd be concerned if you fucked up 1st ante with ride the bus and blue deck lmao

[quiet meadow]

I got another one but can't take it, sad

[delicate valve]

Yeah, but hard thing to do-> get spectrals for free forever after is the current suggestion

[nova mantle]

Praying for you to get an ecto

[north spindle]

yeah that's a big payoff

if it reset it would just be like current seance but worse

[cedar shell]

how good is square joker

[quiet meadow]

And antimatter, I have blank

[pale wolf]

if you're not finding the right Jokers, it's simply an issue of not enough income 🤪

[nova mantle]

2 strushes are an immense feat I don't think it's that excessive

[delicate valve]

Alternative:
Buff the payoff in some way, randomize the hand that's required every time it's triggered, weighted for harder hands

[crystal kiln]

I might as well sell luchador if I have chicot right?

[cedar shell]

i got a shop 1 sqaure joker and i dont usually play it but idk ive never really tried

[north spindle]

other than for sticker smuggling pretty much yeah

[nova mantle]

And it's 1 card per round you could very well get familiar in a rtb run lmao

[limpid prism]

o7

[crystal kiln]

sticker smuggling?

[alpine basalt]

man this shop has me stumped on what I wanna do

[north spindle]

winning with jokers on gold stake puts a gold sticker on them
sticker smuggling refering to taking a joker that isn't helping you to the win screen

[nova mantle]

Good luck🤞

[hasty harness]

dagger best joker trust guys

[alpine basalt]

also as a side note, gotta love how this challenge is literally just here have one of the beset +mult scaling jokers from the start, don't fuck up

[pale wolf]

I've never heard this phrase before

I've called them tag along Jokers in the past

[nova mantle]

Can you place the duo beside dagger this arrangement gives me anxiety for your acrobat

[hasty harness]

i did i just had the shuffle boss lol

thats why it was like that

[nova mantle]

Oh lmao

[north spindle]

just searched this discord and apparently the term has been used once before in 2024?
for some reason i thought it was a thing lol

like the term for it

[shell current]

Seance is fine the way it is

[north spindle]

obviously the practice is well known

[pale wolf]

I started playing balatro in 2025 so before my time

[nova mantle]

Attention span challenge

I love the 2 jokers that are just attention span tests (rtb and dagger)

[balmy ridge]

can certificate give editions?

[red thistle]

Why's balatrodle not updating.

[cloud sinew]

this is a difficult decision

[cloud sinew]

No

[nova mantle]

I do hate the boss that test your attention (psychic)

[shell current]

The only way I would consider fixing it would be if mousing over it told you 2-3 of the next 5 cards you will draw

(I.e. 13S [blank] [blank] 7H 5D)

[cloud sinew]

???

[nova mantle]

Nay, just seals

[north spindle]

probably depends on a combination of a) your deck and b) have you seen the spade boss yet
