[manic talon]

they were 4

[pale wolf]

oh hm

[manic talon]

basically no reason to nerf them

[lament bronze]

Just feels unwarranted

[white zodiac]

4 then 3

[signal brook]

Why does like to on flushes ly

[pale wolf]

5 more mult per flush with old sinful jokers

[nova mantle]

Ehh fair, could be part of them

Maybe vamp is in that trio he js wants to be special so hard

[lament bronze]

NAOTHER NERF TO THE SINFUL JOKERS AND BAD STONE INCOMING

[manic talon]

pre nerf vampire was definetly in the trio

[pale wolf]

suits have been removed from the game

[manic talon]

and on the top

[white zodiac]

all of them have variable joker synergies with vamp having access to the most of the three

[lament bronze]

For suits that don't have a fucking CRUTCH like Blackstone, the light suits also have the worst fucking stones ever created

[signal brook]

'Oh yeah I like baron mine'
There are 3 hot s in your area

[lament bronze]

Bloodstone is bloodstone

Rough gem... Technically works

[pale wolf]

rough gem is aight

[cerulean parcel]

Should I remove photograph for scary face?

[white zodiac]

what if thunk nerfed flushes by adding 4 more artificial suits

[lament bronze]

It's not like BS where it stops showing up fr a whole week while you're struggling to score

[signal brook]

Remove blueprint

[pale wolf]

you should remove the 3oak probably

[signal brook]

And card sharpfor the 10-4

[nova mantle]

Don't diss ma boy rough gem they're fine

[vale wharf]

@twin lantern

[pale wolf]

also jesus skipping christ

[austere walrus]

please anyone buy me balatro :< i can buy cuz contry :<<<

[nova mantle]

Tho blackboard existing js invalidates the light suits tbf

[lament bronze]

But you'd think not having a near conditionless Cavendish would in term lead to them having some oomf to them

[cerulean parcel]

No

[austere walrus]

sad :,

[nova mantle]

Had a glow down sadly

[pure oasis]

do you guys use the sixth sense every time to thin the deck and get goodies?

[lament bronze]

That's my point, dark suits have a fucking crutch with blackboard and you'd think the light ones would have anything remotely close to at the very least the dark stones to warrant not getting anything similar

[pale wolf]

i dont use it every time

[lament bronze]

But no

[twin lantern]

just win already 😭

[lament bronze]

They're even worse

[manic talon]

if you can survive yes, thats whats the joker is for

[manic talon]

new 2026 update introduces whiteboard REAL

[white zodiac]

white chalk

[nova mantle]

Blackboard equivalent to light suits incoming in the next update

Tho what should blackboard for light suits do?

[manic talon]

3X Chips

[white zodiac]

call it the coloring book

[lament bronze]

So people can finally shut up about it

[manic talon]

will change his mind on Xchips because its funny

[twin lantern]

whiteboard:
destroys all played black suit cards.

[pure oasis]

can i ask what are the exceptions when you don't use it?

[pale wolf]

first of all, its not dark vs light imo, its black suits vs red suits

I'm pretty sure it would be a red themed Joker

[ruby marlin]

Chat

[lament bronze]

I just think blackboard is a straight up crutch to the viability of the dark suits instead of the light ones

[ruby marlin]

I think I need cloud 9

[lament bronze]

But then again the light suits also have ass jokers

[twin lantern]

rough gem ain't ass 😭

[lament bronze]

Doesn't mean the dark suits deserve a fucking Cavendish clone

[nova mantle]

Baron js hanging around with his buddies 😭

[ruby marlin]

AM TRYING TO MAKE HIM USEFUL 😭😭😭

[twin lantern]

random ass banana waiting to be eaten by baron:

[manic talon]

bloodstone is good (in checkered)

[vale wharf]

@twin lantern you must be thinking I'm making up ts

[white zodiac]

a likely story

[twin lantern]

if you find it that is

[lament bronze]

Sorry to say but compared to +50 chips, +7 mult, 3x if no diamonds, the opportunity cost is far too high for 4 net gain

[nova mantle]

You need tons of strength cards for that buddy

[twin lantern]

holy christ

[nova mantle]

Good luck

[pale wolf]

dont have 6s, already have full slots, if it would be detrimental to interest

[manic talon]

i mean its a roguelike, the randomness is part of the game

[lament bronze]

An econ joker based on playing is always one dollar behind every other econ joker

[dense wraith]

this game is so easy when it gives you all the greatest xmult options it could give you (all the jokers I won with already had gold stake stickers lol)

[ruby marlin]

Yeah I figured lol

[nova mantle]

While a peasant reads his hand

[twin lantern]

i audibly LAUGHED bro 😭

you win 😭

[magic stone]

idol really is potential man what the fuck

[nova mantle]

Blue board vs red crayon

[twin lantern]

one of the few times a random joke made me burst out irl 😭

[magic stone]

how are you choosing ace of hearts on the round after i pick you up

[nova mantle]

Glad it was funny

[twin lantern]

hits ace

[pure oasis]

yeah, first is obvious. And yes 6th sensei is only good at beginning of the run.

[royal bobcat]

there are no such things as free thinkers, only photochaders

[nova mantle]

Incoming hit on that 9 of clubs

[lament bronze]

GIVE ME A CRUTCH FOR THE RED SUITS OR GIVE ME DEATH 🗣️🔥

Or nerf blackboard

Thematically it just makes the sun and star useless tarots

[twin lantern]

take your death

[white zodiac]

wait no I like black board

[twin lantern]

(the tarot)

[lament bronze]

Objectively better to go for the darker suits every single time

[manic talon]

isnt that like a 20% for idol to hit a non Hearts king, thats still a high chance

even though your deck is majority kings

[ruby marlin]

BRO

WHY IS GROS MICHEL IMMORTAL 😭

[royal bobcat]

AND THIS IS WHY YOU TAKE EGG CHAT

[ruby marlin]

I bought the dude 10 rounds ago

[pale wolf]

correct

[manic talon]

its a holo egg how bad can it be

[ruby marlin]

AM ACTUALLY GONNA KMS

GENUINELY

[royal bobcat]

42 dollahs

[ruby marlin]

LIKE JUST GO AWAY

BRO

HOW

HE JUST ATE MY ECTOPLASM

[nova mantle]

What if that wheel of fortune has a lottery number and you win a bazillion dollars tho

[ruby marlin]

😭😭😭

[white zodiac]

this was your doing

[pale wolf]

baron
using ecto when you have removable jokers

[white zodiac]

smort

[nova mantle]

That shi going extinct next round 😭

[royal bobcat]

lucky cat waiting room

[pale wolf]

using ecto when you have baron

[royal bobcat]

MISTER CAT

NOW IS YOUR TIME

[pale wolf]

so many factors in one small screenshot and message combo

[nova mantle]

LUCKY CAT MENTIONED

Manifesting you find it soon 🙏

[twin lantern]

:luckycat: 🗣️🔥🔥

[ruby marlin]

Am white stake
Don’t expect me to make smart decisions

[manic talon]

i dont think this run needs to wait for anything

photochad + hologram and you want more, the greed sickens me

[royal bobcat]

OF COURSE I WANT MORE

I WANT LUCKY CAT

[lament bronze]

Remember Vayn, they will still die in ante 11 helplessly

[vale wharf]

@twin lantern it just keeps getting better

[twin lantern]

funny number go up me happy

[nova mantle]

Lucky cat is always wanted

[lament bronze]

Their greed goes nowhere other than the same tomb of the common man

[twin lantern]

dear god

that's what like a ×27 mult

[dense wraith]

idk if I would want this rental red card if I also need money for the booster packs

[twin lantern]

crazy

[manic talon]

every winning run ends in the same screen all the same

[twin lantern]

$40 round 3

[pale wolf]

generally held in hand jokers that want you to hold many copies of a particular card, means you should preserve your hand size

[twin lantern]

skipping is wild 🗣️

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[nova mantle]

They should add this I would use the hell outta :luckycat: emoji

[ruby marlin]

Well my brain automatically shut down when I see negative joker 😔

[pale wolf]

in general ecto is usually harmful

[dense wraith]

I had a hermit and used business card

[pale wolf]

non-endless

[manic talon]

how did planet X make the emote cut

[serene forge]

a lot of psectrals are

[manic talon]

why is that fake ass planet here

[pale wolf]

i think they rolled dice

for all the emotes LOL

[dense wraith]

managed to econ up pretty early with what I found

[nova mantle]

That 10 extra mult will pay for the dollars lost with those unused hands

[manic talon]

[pale wolf]

there are still enough emote slots in this server for there to be emotes for every single consumable and Joker in the game

and probably every boss blind after that too

[white zodiac]

but they dont

[lament bronze]

Thunk and the mods have a general anatomical disposition against fun so despite having 300 emoji slots and 150 jokers we are stuck with

[pale wolf]

I know I'm about to just do it myself

[wintry ice]

you can more than affoaed it

[manic talon]

they only got the in Balatro

[serene forge]

add gold stake emoji

[vale wharf]

And that's the run!

[pale wolf]

yeah who the fuck is putting b

lmfao

[lament bronze]

Gif ban I can understand but still complain about

[wintry ice]

you buy booster packs regardless when you're above interest

[pale wolf]

are we getting transported back to 2016 or something

[nova mantle]

Brosky thinks they're part of the team 😂 mercury sweeps

[lament bronze]

Sticker ban is straight up dictatorship

But these emojis man

These are something beyond that

[vale wharf]

@twin lantern

[manic talon]

what context do you have to be in to use the emote

[pale wolf]

I'm totally okay with sticker and gif bans, children spam the shit out of them

[twin lantern]

2 mil

[serene forge]

Cool But Underwhelming

[wintry ice]

just screenshot them

[white zodiac]

take but no give

[twin lantern]

stfu

I'm not underwhelming

[pale wolf]

YEA

[nova mantle]

Only good ones are

[magic stone]

this is rookie numbers but it is my highest scoring hand on this profile

[twin lantern]

-# thats adorable tho 😭

[dense wraith]

well if I'm getting rental red card (which I am) I just have to not fuck up econ now and go broke

[pale wolf]

im boutta make a balatro emote server just for myself

[nova mantle]

Terraria mentioned ❤️‍🩹

[twin lantern]

"₹'(/)₹_ &-8₹, '+#&.

[lament bronze]

jimbo_spin

[pale wolf]

[twin lantern]

crack the code that

[nova mantle]

Add lucky cat

[lament bronze]

can still get some gifs through my own means but

[white zodiac]

i want in

[lament bronze]

its not realiable

bliss

[pale wolf]

if you truly need to use tenor gifs you can just go onto the tenor site yourself and download the GIF you want to use

nothing is stopping you from uploading gifs here

[lament bronze]

Actually yes the .GI f extension of the file does stop it

[lament bronze]

Lmaoooooooooo

[dense wraith]

flash card (from a judgement) might asking a bit much here

[twin lantern]

check yo dms

[manic talon]

why would nintendo do this

[lament bronze]

You can't say it or send any gif with the . Gif

[nova mantle]

Nicee run blud

[dense wraith]

red card is better than flash card anyway

[pale wolf]

That's actually really weird LOL that's just a word filter to stop gif embeds which, again, doesn't affect uploaded files

[manic talon]

red card if it was ass

[lament bronze]

Nah it also stops some cussing

[nova mantle]

Glass red seals are always a pretty sight

[white zodiac]

why would they remove gay bowser

[manic talon]

they killed woke bowser

[lament bronze]

Yeah it's odd, on my side if the file has . Y'know it kills it

[white zodiac]

but I can send sexcat

nice

[lament bronze]

huh

[white zodiac]

[pale wolf]

tellin ya, word filter doesnt stop file names

[manic talon]

It just bans tenor gifs exactly

[dense wraith]

was planning on skipping but uh

[lament bronze]

I guess it might have .tenor blocked somewhere

tenor.

[heavy heron]

omg a lusty

[manic talon]

It doesnt ban gifs you have personally

[pale wolf]

It's interesting for me to find out that it's specifically a word filter for the file extension in embed links which tenor also uses

[lament bronze]

ah I see

[pale wolf]

It's both

[lament bronze]

figured that it was the . gif thing

because I did try to post . gifs before

but they might have had tenor with a dot in the name and obviously gone down

[royal bobcat]

no lucky cat, this is BULLSHIT

[pale wolf]

tenor links have both tenor dotcom and dotgif and I'm guessing they banned both on the word filter to avoid other potential gif search extensions

[lament bronze]

anyways yeah still mods havent done the stickers with the 250 emoji slots

[lament bronze]

yeah I always found it finnicky to post the actual gif on here

sometimes it blocks sometimes it doesnt

thought it was the dot gif part

[vale wharf]

Pretty bad run 😢

[lament bronze]

but now without the tenor part it does allow me to post that one

[lament bronze]

nightmare blunt rotation

but its ante 2 round 3 you will live

especially with an x2

[vale wharf]

Bad jokers, no econ or scoring

[ruby marlin]

Hmmmm

[lament bronze]

econ

[ruby marlin]

W investment ?

[lament bronze]

and now you have 4oak on a good chunk of the deck

now use cryptid on whichever suit you like the most

[vale wharf]

Oh, trueeee

[lament bronze]

and abuse that

either flushmax or 4oak max

one mars destroys up to small blind ante 3 easily

praying for a wee

praying for a miracle

bliss

[lunar zealot]

Very Large Blind

[vale wharf]

I was on the verge of ending it all, thank you, miss Smug

[ruby marlin]

How tf are we suppose to beat ts

[lunar zealot]

just die

there is nothing you can do

[ruby marlin]

Jokerless speedruners wet dream

[vale wharf]

How did this happen?

[white zodiac]

a couple of chicks

[royal bobcat]

I am confused

[white zodiac]

chicots

[pale wolf]

if you actually download the file and upload it then it will never

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1156721486288126023/1436003121879974031/Hologram.gif?ex=690e059f&is=690cb41f&hm=eec52d429366c48af700db1f102ab1a118e7eb598bd673ba83596c495c93807c&

[white zodiac]

this isn't the hologram ik

[pale wolf]

except that embed link also has the gif extension

i don get it

[white zodiac]

I was gonna say

[pale wolf]

maybe it's gif extension with a space in front of it

I think that's how tenor gifs function

x.x

[heavy heron]

what in the chicot is happening an here

[vale wharf]

I find it really weird that madness can't destroy eternal jokers
A harder stake actually gives you an easier time haha

[white zodiac]

eternal tag description

meets madness joker description

[terse vale]

well I never man

[nova mantle]

The hell

[lunar zealot]

300k/3 = 100k

100k/3 = 33k

33k/3 = 11k

qed:

3 copies of chicot

[nova mantle]

Where did you pour the contents of that poor vessel

[heavy heron]

who said stencil needs a purpose.. maybe he’s just here for the ride

[heavy heron]

OHOHOHO

i’d take it any day

[nova mantle]

Oh lmao, I had seen that with 2 chicots but never 3

[manic talon]

Its for the speculative negative baseball card

[heavy heron]

that’s funny it divides it by 3 rather than just defaulting it to the boss default

[heavy heron]

or for the spade flushes

and just accept that the runner is bait

[nova mantle]

Chicot fought like a madman irl, it's no surprise that if he can get another stab on the enemy he will

[vale wharf]

Do I dare?

[heavy heron]

i guess he divided his enemy by 3

[heavy heron]

UH..

well 50/50 you lose

i’m ngl inmolate looks great

you’re broke

[vale wharf]

I'll go with whatever you say

[heavy heron]

BRO

okay

wait

do you want to win or have fun

your answer will dictate your choice

[vale wharf]

I want to GAMBLE 🤑

[heavy heron]

TIME TO ANKH OFF

[burnt topaz]

Hear me out…

[heavy heron]

jimbo time

[nova mantle]

1 in 4 chance for the run to pop off

[pale wolf]

no

[heavy heron]

but it’s funny

so do it

[vale wharf]

LET'S GOOOOOO

[burnt topaz]

I got jimbo from a judgement because I thought it would be funny

[pale wolf]

what exactly do you want to happen, you copy madness and then madness kills the madness

[heavy heron]

YEAAAAAA

[burnt topaz]

But I was playing non perishable

[heavy heron]

wait

[heavy heron]

he’s right

LOOLLLL

[lunar zealot]

double chicot on manacle gives +1 hand size

[burnt topaz]

I was about to say what zeba said

[heavy heron]

wait why didn’t that occur to me

[burnt topaz]

The madness just kills eachother

[heavy heron]

THATS SO FUNNY

[lunar zealot]

Permanently

Forever

[solid garden]

bruh

[lunar zealot]

For the rest of the run

[pale wolf]

🤦‍♂️

[vale wharf]

Wait what 😨

[heavy heron]

that’s awesome

is it permanent

[lunar zealot]

Forever

[pale wolf]

pro tip, sell that madness before you just let it get destroyed

[lunar zealot]

Permanently

[cloud sinew]

it's guaranteed to kill madness here as well

[lunar zealot]

For the rest of the run

[heavy heron]

THATS INSANE

[pale wolf]

lol

[heavy heron]

i mean listen

the real play was to sell madness for money

[manic talon]

Your madness aint eternal and it can target each other

[burnt topaz]

Holo castle got duped

[heavy heron]

you don’t want that immolate destroying 5 precious cards

it was always the madness sell play

[pale wolf]

probably one of the worst plays I've ever seen especially when immolate was right next to it

[burnt topaz]

Considering it’s my only source of chips otherwise I’ll take it

[burnt topaz]

I don’t like immolate personally

[heavy heron]

it’s okay you did a good play in my heart

[vale wharf]

@heavy heron you lied to me 🙁

[manic talon]

Did this once while on a streak forgetting this exact interaction

[cloud sinew]

1/2 to copy a very good xmult

[heavy heron]

technically i didn’t

[pale wolf]

and then 😄

[heavy heron]

i said it’d be the funny play

HEY I DID SAY

IF YOU WANTED TO WIN

YOU GO IMMOLATE

[nova mantle]

Probably one of the funniest plays tho

[manic talon]

Its ante 3, it doesnt have the scaling and youre not going to skip every round

[pale wolf]

society if madness said [Not including Madness] at the bottom

[heavy heron]

dw it’s okay ppl here are allergic to fun, you did good in my heart

i mean how often do you get to do this

[nova mantle]

Madness doesn't seem to far to commit cannibalism tho

[heavy heron]

i mean madness is a joker and eats other jokers

maybe he is cannibalistic

[manic talon]

Shouldve done a russian roullete of selling jokers until you sell luchador smh

[pale wolf]

Shield (Uncommon)
Prevents cards from being destroyed.
Gains 50 chips every time a card attempts to destruct.

[burnt topaz]

This might already be insane

Honestly I’m more than happy with castle copying

[vocal rose]

erosion loves this joker

[pale wolf]

no it wouldn't, you wouldn't be able to reduce your deck size because it prevents destruction

[nova mantle]

We do a little tomfoolery in the balatro run from time to time

[terse vale]

I haven’t played in like a month gosh

[manic talon]

One immolate makes this a stuntman

[vocal rose]

slash S

[pale wolf]

yea 😄

maybe 20 chips

[manic talon]

I think thats a pretty good rate

[pale wolf]

I had it at 20 and then I thought it would be funny if it was just Stone cards

[nova mantle]

Trading card goes hard with this one

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL YOURE RIGHT i shouldve

[burnt topaz]

Also I didn’t draw a face card which means immolate doesn’t scale Canio all it does is lose me random cards which I don’t really want, and gives me $20 which I probably waste on rerolls that get me nothing anyways considering my dumb a playstyle

[white zodiac]

u ok

[heavy heron]

yup

thank you though

how about you are you doing well

[burnt topaz]

This is what my negative tag gives me…

[heavy heron]

i mean hey add them to the pile

[burnt topaz]

Yeah

I have no reason not to

[heavy heron]

actually you do

[pale wolf]

+20 chips a round is a decent chip scaler 😄

[heavy heron]

another ankh would be bad

but

you know

temperance value

❤️

[burnt topaz]

There’s always negative swashbuckler or abstract

[nova mantle]

Selling everything except merry andy and rebate 💔

[burnt topaz]

I don’t have room

I can’t use ankh anyways

[heavy heron]

oh bro you got 5 eternals

LOOLLL

[manic talon]

Make it 25 so it mogs stone joker specifically

[burnt topaz]

That’s the challenge

Im playing non perishable

Which means everything is eternal

[pale wolf]

considered heh

[nova mantle]

Bit better than squoker and more consistent than runner

[heavy heron]

i feel like the joker preventing deck fixing and gaining chips for it just makes pairs even stronger than they are

[nova mantle]

Sounds good to me ✅

[heavy heron]

you don’t need deck fixing to run pairs but you do with most 5 card hands

[pale wolf]

ofc, its two slots
but you're getting tcard money too I guess

[white zodiac]

im on the shitter rn

[manic talon]

Yes its pair-slop coded

[pale wolf]

The big thing is that it doesn't let you cut your deck down at all

[heavy heron]

ahhh, while on balatro? i feel that

[pale wolf]

once you have it, you're stuck with all the cards you already have

[heavy heron]

that joker sounds abhorredly strong

[pale wolf]

why

[heavy heron]

the 2 reasons i stated already

[pale wolf]

just saying it's good for pairs doesn't mean it's overpowered LOL

preventing deck fixing is still a bad thing for pairs

[heavy heron]

but it solves a problem that doesn’t exist

like

it only helps high card, pairs, two pair players

none of whom need much deck fixing to begin with

[manic talon]

This game needs a joker that makes full house an actual consideration and flower pot isnt it

[heavy heron]

and limiting factor is typically chips for them

[white zodiac]

restricting your card draw probably is a detriment to all poker hands, pairs notably for blue seals

[heavy heron]

which is already circumventions via planets

[heavy heron]

yes, i agree the seals

but you don’t need blue seals if you’re gaining +20-40 chips per card attempt break

a planet is 15 chips

or 10 for high card players

[white zodiac]

gold

[manic talon]

But it also still hurts hc/pairs less

[heavy heron]

you can make the argument for all held-in-hand things

so yes obviously it’s detrimental to all

but least affected is the players who don’t need said strength

[pale wolf]

yeah so how can it be broken if it's generally detrimental and just happens to benefit smaller hands a bit more
when you find it at the start of the run, you do need the strength

[heavy heron]

because this game already entirely benefits smaller hands

another joker doing that is crazy

[pale wolf]

which will change in the coming update

[heavy heron]

but i’m speaking in the current state of the game

[blissful fog]

7 more decks to go

[pale wolf]

we already know that we're going to have much more digging power with Blue stake being changed, and likely some planet scaling changes
I'm not going to restrict my concepts for interesting Joker ideas to the limitations of the current meta when I know it's going to change

[white zodiac]

the problem being it limits the frequency of added enhancements with other interactions, hologram, marble, cert, etc with card cutting

[heavy heron]

nice!

[heavy heron]

and again this is applicable to all players who take this joker

[dark cairn]

genuinely tempted to take madness here

[pale wolf]

any addition to the game will need rebalancing among the whole thing or at least consideration of how it affects everything else

[white zodiac]

on the other end we could just make more pair ending boss blinds

[heavy heron]

i didn’t say you should restrict your concept, i’m just saying it’s not a good idea

in my opinion

[pale wolf]

;p

sure

[unreal iron]

what if instead of erosion it was called flood and instead of giving +4 mult for every missing card in the deck it gained mult when a card is added to base

[dark cairn]

my flush is level 7 rn

[unreal iron]

what even is the opposite of erosion

[blissful fog]

Took me awhile to beat gold stake on that deck for some reason lmao

[heavy heron]

so..

[unreal iron]

seriously

[heavy heron]

hologram but worse

[pale wolf]

sedimentation

[white zodiac]

if throwback/rebate can exist then why can't this

[heavy heron]

i hope it’s a common then

[unreal iron]

SEDIMENTATION 🔥

[pale wolf]

That's how sedimentary rocks are eventually formed

[unreal iron]

thing is tho its just like erosion

[pale wolf]

sandstone shtis

[unreal iron]

but exactly the opposite thing

[heavy heron]

that’s a poor set of logic; pointing out extremely bad and extremely good jokers doesn’t excuse adding more jokers that fall in either category

[unreal iron]

so it quite literally has synergy with hologram

[pale wolf]

I also want/ expect there to be more Jokers that benefit large deck sizes

[dark cairn]

do i ball and take madness or not

[heavy heron]

i mean sure once the game is balanced more it’s better to make a say on it

[blissful fog]

Ig a plus mult of that would be cool

[signal brook]

When do we get hiker but mult

[white zodiac]

which it will knowing previous discussions

wrong ping

[nova mantle]

Hiker but +1 mult to the card?

[blissful fog]

Alot of non eternals so not worth it for me

[signal brook]

Yea

[heavy heron]

that sounds pretty strong

[pale wolf]

My thoughts is that there are a lack of Chip Jokers, a lack of encouragement for large deck sizes, and few interactions with card destruction aside from scaling when something is destroyed

[heavy heron]

so maybe it’s +20 chips per card added, not +20 chips per attempted card break

[pale wolf]

The scarcity of Chip Jokers is intentional, but I think leaves room for more interesting chip Jokers to be added

[heavy heron]

where is x chips

[pale wolf]

That's just weird blue Joker

[white zodiac]

you think the lack of chip jokers is by design or an overlook

some games could thrive with an intentional imbalance like pokemon

idk where this one falls

[wintry ice]

mult

[shell current]

It’s called mult

[heavy heron]

well you don’t add cards for blue joker, it’s not incentivized at all

but if it’s +20

that is incentive

[pale wolf]

It's definitely intentional, but I still think they're more scarce than they should be

[nova mantle]

Localfunk has stated he'll never add x chips coz that's kinda the identity of chips

[heavy heron]

that makes sense actually

[signal brook]

Anti erosion real

[shell current]

Blue joker:exists

[signal brook]

Oh yeah TWO chips per card so worth It

[tranquil cedar]

who up straightening they flushes

[heavy heron]

nobody opens a standard pack and grabs a card thinking “my blue joker gains 2 chips”

[tranquil cedar]

localfunk 🙏

[heavy heron]

the damage deck bloating does is so not worth 2 chips

[signal brook]

Me when bull is better than blue joker in every way

[white zodiac]

blue is known to be a pretty well known strong chip joker out of pure misinformation

[heavy heron]

when you click blue joker it says +104 but it’s never 104

it’s always +88 in most circumstances

[wintry ice]

is the quantity of face card jokers making face cards an oversaturated strategy

[white zodiac]

(104-16)-10 per discard/hand

[tranquil cedar]

i actually had a sheet suggestion for this

[terse vale]

I mean ya

[nova mantle]

If chips and mult where equally easy the scoring would just be calculator simulator, and plasma wouldn't have a reason to exist
Which, damn, plasma not existing would be good actually

[terse vale]

its not the best but it can work

[tranquil cedar]

Fans Kept Asking For XChips So Here You Go Now Have Fun And Stop Complaining (common)

X0 chips

[heavy heron]

well face card strategies are applicable to all hand type players

[white zodiac]

plasma could benefit with a similar scoring threshold requirement per ante that echo deck has in extra credit

[pale wolf]

there's also the option of running into this Joker after you've already fixed your deck a fair bit

and they're still deck fixing to be done besides card removal

[heavy heron]

-10 per discard/hand

[white zodiac]

face card fundamentals are normally econ first, value second, scoring tertiary

[heavy heron]

i don’t think there’s an order to it; face cards serve you based on what you find

[nova mantle]

And you have easy means of destroying cards if you were in the path of having decent deckfixing
Also, shield deniers acting like death doesn't exists

[white zodiac]

knowing the stuff that are common, uncommon, rare, legendary

[white zodiac]

ordering on rarity/frequency

[dark cairn]

i took a gamble and it paid off

[heavy heron]

by that logic discards are money first, finding cards 2nd

[white zodiac]

pretty much

[wintry ice]

finding cards is the most common use of discards since it's the default one

[heavy heron]

but it’s different every run, so

not really

[dark cairn]

i think i just take the bloodstone here and call it a day yes?

[white zodiac]

all value at the end of the day

[wintry ice]

also balatrodle

[nova mantle]

Autocorrect once did "local funk" when I was writing and it was too cool to not keep using

[pale wolf]

The difference is that discards have a default usage and face cards don't

[white zodiac]

commons fill a role for short term strength that may or may not be used later before finding uncommons. most face card jokers in common are econ oriented

[heavy heron]

face cards inherently serve the purpose of their rank

[shell current]

it’s a really hard gold sticker to get but you could gamble on finding a harder one ante 8 and skipping if you win by a lot rn

[heavy heron]

besides faceless, like what?

[nova mantle]

It isn't coincidence that faceless joker, business card and parking are all common

[white zodiac]

parking, business, bus,

[heavy heron]

bus?

OH

wait

yeah bus?

LOOLLL

[white zodiac]

[heavy heron]

like.. ride the bus??

[nova mantle]

Why's bus econ oriented?

[white zodiac]

bus and faceless

bus preventing midas

[nova mantle]

Oh yeah lol

[white zodiac]

econ highs and lows

[nova mantle]

Love me that synergy

[white zodiac]

face cards are known for high econ, high scoring risk

with a few scoring outliers that propose a dynamic play style (excluding the two joker lobotomy)

[pale wolf]

calling bus econ oriented is a stretch i think

[white zodiac]

yeah I should've said red card

[pale wolf]

but that's not a face card Joker 🤬

[white zodiac]

I make a face when I see red card

[pale wolf]

you got the common econ face jokers, then sock for lucky/goldseals and midas

[nova mantle]

It kinda synergizes too much with faceless and parking

[white zodiac]

if youre daring maybe

[pale wolf]

parking w rtb is scary

[lunar zealot]

Well

fuck it sure

[white zodiac]

my greed knows no bounds

[nova mantle]

Gambling is encouraged in the gambling game

[white zodiac]

there is skill in greed

[pale wolf]

The biggest nuance of any probability related game is reducing the effect of chance on your game

[white zodiac]

it came to me in a dream when I learned the benefits of making aces for maximizing face card greed

[dark cairn]

im not really concerned with stickers yet i just wanna get c+

[fluid nova]

eh what do i replace or do i just keep my stuff like it is

[dark cairn]

that was by far my easiest gold stake win yet https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/lscnEnHjHQx2X9wvO?invite=cr-MSxDNXAsMzg1MjQ0MTcy&v=60

[white zodiac]

[magic stone]

lol

[cerulean parcel]

What do we think of painted deck?

[pale wolf]

I like it but it's one of the more difficult/inconsistent decks

[pale wolf]

goated

[magic stone]

i like painted a lot

[tawdry burrow]

Is that 15 cards in your deck

(148÷4=37 and 52-37=15)

[magic stone]

the full deck

yuh

[dark cairn]

its funny because i was just thinking to myself "yknow i wonder how im gonna get a gold sticker on madness when i can barely even beat gold stake WITHOUT my jokers being randomly destroyed"

[tawdry burrow]

King¹⁵

[dark cairn]

and next thing i know it carried my 3rd gold stake win

safe to say i'm very happy with that run

[vestal fern]

didn't the doctor do the same thing

[cerulean parcel]

Painted is just blue deck with eternal troubadour

[shell current]

Then why did you take bloodstone???

[magic stone]

funniest way to lose a run. 9 cards by the end

[fading cobalt]

Supernova > RTB

[shell current]

Vampire > driver’s license

[dark cairn]

checkered deck lol

also cause it was eternal

and hanging chad

[fading cobalt]

2.6x scaling vampire or 3x activating drivers license

And you can continue scaling vampire past 3x

So

Kind of a no brainer

[unreal iron]

vampire is so yummy when it hits

it feels really underrated compared to constellation and hologram

[white zodiac]

similar to rtb vs nova

kind of a no brainer when bus is hand agnostic, boss blind agnostic, and perishable immune

[frank plank]

What's balatro someone tell me I'm actually scared

[vale wharf]

Very appreciate 😊👍

[orchid comet]

optimal order?

or do I put aj before photos

[orchid comet]

W

great start

[obsidian patrol]

It does not matter

[orchid comet]

it doesn't?

that's nice

[vale wharf]

Took nearly everything I had, though

[obsidian patrol]

They are both x mult

[orchid comet]

scp-70

[orchid comet]

almost every black deck start

very rough but very beneficial later on

[fading dome]

I know you're just joking around, but please respect the time and effort of everyone else who also contributed to the wiki 🙃

[frank plank]

Can someone tell me what the latest version for the pokermon mod is

[white zodiac]

sorry i didn’t know

[fading dome]

better question for #⚙・modding-general or the pokermon discord server

[vale wharf]

I was forced to buy this useless eternal 😭

[orchid comet]

forced?

1k points damn

that's scaling a lot

makes sense

[white zodiac]

scaling isn’t what i call it

[fading dome]

No worries! I appreciate you mentioning the wiki 💙

[white zodiac]

epic ping

[vale wharf]

You're welcome 🤗

[fading dome]

sigh

wrong reply

[orchid comet]

lmfaoo

[fading dome]

y'all get what I was trying to do

😭

[vale wharf]

Yeah, I would have had no way of clearing the round otherwise

[orchid comet]

You're welcome 🤗

[orchid comet]

yeahhh

[vale wharf]

I got a 2 pair planet card earlier

[fading dome]

np Light, appreciate you

[gusty sage]

bro did it put a gun to your head?????

[warm kindle]

they wouldve died otherwise

most likely

or just draw a straight flush trust

[orchid comet]

yoooo

[shell current]

Etenal banner is like… fine

I feel like you take those on gold stake

[orchid comet]

do I get trading card instead of stuntman

[cerulean parcel]

do NOT use 7LB2WVPK

[obsidian patrol]

I would

[cerulean parcel]

You will regret it

[orchid comet]

alright

[obsidian patrol]

Just be careful not to cut too much of one suit

[orchid comet]

wouldn't I want to

[unreal island]

this either goes to ante 12 or ante 2

[orchid comet]

or wait does aj not work that way

[warm kindle]

what deck

[obsidian patrol]

ancient joker selects suits regardless of if you have them or not

[cerulean parcel]

Erratic

[orchid comet]

rightt

alright

[warm kindle]

oh thats just the all 10 of spades seed

[unreal island]

which is why you should pivot to bloodstone and die because bloodstone sucks

[winged prairie]

Do I get mime for castle, even if I dont have any steel cards yet?

[vale wharf]

It did ☹️

[vale wharf]

Ante 4 🔥

[fervent wolf]

I officially own every Joker in Balatro 🤩

[grizzled hearth]

Had my best game yet today. made it to round 41 playing white chip Ghost deck. Had negative blueprint, blueprint, socks, dna, baron, and mindstorm. I was playing glass foil red seal king of spades (flush five) with 3-5 steel foil red seal queen of diamonds. I wish I could have made steel kings early on.

here was a hand a few rounds earlier

[pale wolf]

just as an fyi but im repulsed from mentioning you or the wiki anymore

its a good resource but you cannot control my language

[tiny magnet]

Which one should i get to change OA6?

[pale wolf]

photo over swash

imo

jimbo is worse than swash but hes cute

[heavy heron]

isn’t it funny how when i’m trying to recall what the planets of the solar system are, i think about all the hand types that exist in balatro

to remind myself what planets there are

[pale wolf]

my favorite planet ceres

[fading dome]

All I asked was if you could be respectful to all the other users who contributed to the wiki as well. I'm fine with you mentioning my name in relation to the wiki, but please don't imply I'm the only one who worked on it

[pale wolf]

that everyone knows and remembers

[heavy heron]

i actually don’t even know what ceres and planet x and eris are

[minor portal]

the wiki burned zebas house down

[shell current]

Egg over jimbo no brainer

[pale wolf]

considering no reasonable person would ever actually think one person created the entire wiki for a game as big as balatro, I don't think any contributor to the wiki should care if somebody thinks you made everything on it or not
but respecting your wishes, I'm never mentioning you or the wiki ever again because I was far more disrespected

[minor portal]

eris is flush five, planet x is 5oak, and ceres is flush house (probably?)

[tiny magnet]

Sold jimbo for photo, i got gift card on the next shop lol

[pale wolf]

You don't have the right to control other people's humor

[heavy heron]

NO I MEANT

WHAT THOSE ARE

LIKE ACTUALLY planet-wise

[shell current]

Process oriented virgin vs results oriented chad

[minor portal]

I'm pretty sure they don't exist

[obsidian patrol]

Oh they're like

[tiny magnet]

tf

[obsidian patrol]

Random planets

[minor portal]

actually wait I think planet x is right next to Jupiter

you should be able to see it in the next lunar cycle

[shell current]

You are the chad in this scenario

[heavy heron]

fascinating

[obsidian patrol]

Planet x is fake

Eris is real

Ceres is also real

[minor portal]

aren't they moons

[obsidian patrol]

Dwarf planets

[minor portal]

pretty much same thing

[pale wolf]

no

expressly not

moons orbit planets not suns

[coral egret]

i guess bruh

[pale wolf]

sometimes theres moonmoons, moons of moons

[heavy heron]

hope you can afford both

[minor portal]

that's what society wants you to think

[heavy heron]

sell the bus

[orchid comet]

paleidoila or however u spelt it can be a big disadvantage to bosses that affect face cards

[coral egret]

Yes

[obsidian patrol]

I think theres a few more reasons not to take it here

[heavy heron]

the mark

[orchid comet]

like?

yes rtb is awesome

[heavy heron]

wow yall are crazy i take both any day

bus can die

any day

[orchid comet]

I'd keep rtb

nahhh rtb scaling is so fun

[heavy heron]

having up to $10 a hand is fun

[orchid comet]

I keep it and use up all hands every round whenever I get it

[coral egret]

i kept bus

[heavy heron]

plus it’s holographic so you still survive

[orchid comet]

I only replace it with copy joker or photochad

[minor portal]

anyway I think the earth planet card should be flat

[coral egret]

i found a riff raff instead

[orchid comet]

it should be a donut

[orchid comet]

W

[minor portal]

satellite can stay round

[coral egret]

what does this game want from me bro 😭

[minor portal]

it demands face cards

[orchid comet]

LMAO

[coral egret]

always the most facey face jokers when im playing abandoned

[orchid comet]

and abandoned too??

damn rtb op

u could've had scary, photo, paleidoila, and business card on abandoned lmaoo

[minor portal]

abandoned deck the goat fr

[white zodiac]

game wants you to crop more of your game out

[coral egret]

[coral egret]

[orchid comet]

Micheal also doesnt shower

[shell current]

Each one selects a consumable independently in order

[fading cobalt]

👍

[minor portal]

hc awaits you

[shell current]

Actually I’m not entirely sure about the timing but lars probably knows

[night turret]

Finally about to beat this challenge

Should I buy it?

[valid berry]

no you shouldnt

buy matador instead

[heady narwhal]

no i don't think matador is worth it on ante 8

[night turret]

And replace what

[shell current]

I don’t think the matador triggers matter unless you really want to go endless

[valid berry]

all of your jokers

even the eternals

[fading cobalt]

Why would you go endless on challenge

[fervent wolf]

Balatro, anyone?

[valid berry]

you only need matador

[fading cobalt]

Sybau

[shell current]

Now make the tierlist irl

[fading cobalt]

I spotted Baron

[valid berry]

thats not freaking nice, maybe think about how your words will affect other people before you say them

[fading cobalt]

Fuck you

[minor portal]

a lot of holographics and not one polychrome

[fervent wolf]

Yes

[valid berry]

guess what

[fading cobalt]

Wheel of fortune wasnt nice

[obsidian patrol]

Chicken butt

[valid berry]

ur blowing my cover dude stop

[pale wolf]

random

[obsidian patrol]

Chicken but

[night turret]

So don’t buy anything?

[obsidian patrol]

Sell chad and buy bp

[night turret]

Chad? Really?

[fading dome]

For clarification, I wasn't upset or annoyed by your original comment. I thought it was funny, but was worried it could set the wrong precedent. There's regularly misinformation copy-pasted in this discord that would've taken 2 minutes to confirm.

I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you or to stop you from making jokes. My request was poorly worded, sorry.

[obsidian patrol]

What are you using it for

[fading cobalt]

Whats your deck like

[night turret]

Alright I’ll get more chips then if I copy it

[valid berry]

i would love to see inside your brain

[fervent wolf]

As I got home, before I opened the package, this is the run I was on (still am but now I have bp!) Jimbo surely has blessed me today

[fading cobalt]

How did you use so many hands with burglar

[night turret]

What

[minor portal]

face card build

[valid berry]

plant triboulet?

[fading cobalt]

Oh

[night turret]

Doesnt blueprint copy the joker to the right

[minor portal]

on the 🪴

[fading cobalt]

I'm so blind bruh

[fading cobalt]

Yes

[fervent wolf]

I was searching for a singular glass 7

[valid berry]

your train of thought is astonishing

[fading cobalt]

Lol

[night turret]

So I’ll put runner next to it

[night turret]

But no more trees

[fading cobalt]

What are you on about

[obsidian patrol]

Their train of thought is astonishing

[coral egret]

top 10 strats of all time

[minor portal]

the only thing that can make this better is splash

[valid berry]

their train of thought is astonishing

[fading cobalt]

1/10 ragebait

[solid garden]

is my train of thoughts astonishing

[valid berry]

words on a screen plugged into a computer plugged into your electrical system that someone is paying money to upkeep

[minor raven]

What is the best deck to play ?

[valid berry]

purple

[fading cobalt]

The words on screen: 1 blocked message

[minor raven]

Magic deck ?

[valid berry]

discord is my kingom and the block button is my bullet

[fading cobalt]

I dont think there is a best deck

Its just preference

[cloud sinew]

for winning, there absolutely is

[fading cobalt]

Then plasma

[cloud sinew]

God no

it's blue

[minor portal]

the evil deck to play is green deck

[fervent wolf]

Ghost

[cloud sinew]

plasma is bottom 3 at gold stake

[night turret]

FINALLY

FIRST 10 CHALLENGES ARE DONE

[cloud sinew]

ghost isn't even top 5

[night turret]

Now onto the next ten

[fervent wolf]

Won all but 1 of my gold stake wins with ghost 🤔

"Not even top 5"

[fervent wolf]

🤔

[valid berry]

but ghost is fun

[cloud sinew]

that wasn't the question though

[night turret]

Blast off sounds fun

[minor portal]

go go gadget white stake

[rose wolf]

i've only gotten gold stake on one deck and it was checkered

[fervent wolf]

3, 2, 1

[acoustic kettle]

Na

Top 1

[minor portal]

Blast off was an easy challenge tbh

[valid berry]

i love having fun

[cloud sinew]

okay but not relevant

[night turret]

What’s that mean

[fervent wolf]

...

You said Blast Off

[fading cobalt]

Well it is a game

Enjoying a game is pretty relevant lol

[fervent wolf]

Exactly

[valid berry]

i buy video games to have fun

[night turret]

OH, I’m slow

[night turret]

The one thing they are made for

[valid berry]

and i am the center of the universe so what i say is always correct

[minor portal]

the best deck is actually black deck

fact checked by real balatro gamblers to be true btw

[fading cobalt]

The best deck is relative to each person's opinion on which deck they enjoy the the most

[minor portal]

now why would anyone have an opinion when you could do the objectively best thing

[shell current]

Based

Magic deck rocks

[acoustic kettle]

Plasma is so good

[valid berry]

i have no opinions what i say is fact

[fading cobalt]

Yes this game is dependent on being based tbh

[minor portal]

in fact there's only five jokers

[fading cobalt]

I think you meant 5x30 jokers

[amber vigil]

Preposterous

[valid berry]

unless you play black deck

[minor portal]

true!

[amber vigil]

But i do think ghost top 5 fun wise and performance wise

But ion think im good enough at the game to say my opinion is fact regarding performance

[valid berry]

theres actually only one joker and its called madness

[amber vigil]

By performance wise i mean ante 8

[fervent wolf]

Repeater: rare: $8

Retrigger all scaling effects (example: square Joker + 4 Again! +4, ride the bus +1 Again! +1)

Not copyable

[valid berry]

56 wins and 40 of them are ghost deck

[minor portal]

0 wins and none of them are plasma

[valid berry]

you should make it scale

[fervent wolf]

No

[fading cobalt]

So it retriggers itself?

[fervent wolf]

Doesn't make sense

[fading cobalt]

How is it even meant to scale

[valid berry]

why not

[fervent wolf]

Too op, it already feels kinda op enough

Wait

The down side is that jokers like ice-cream would -5 Again! -5

[valid berry]

why are you no longer negative ceremonial dagger

[fervent wolf]

I am

Why did it change my pfp hold up

[valid berry]

ill believe it when i see it buster

[fervent wolf]

There we go

[acoustic kettle]

Negegg

[fervent wolf]

When I regained nitro ig this was my pfp in this server

[valid berry]

why so negative, ceremonial dagger, is everything alright!?

[orchid comet]

what's the play here

jumbo spectral lookin mighty fine

bet there's an ankh hiding in there

[minor portal]

what would that do for you

[orchid comet]

2 madness jokers

[minor portal]

one of them would be destroyed

instantly

[orchid comet]

oh wait yeah

damn

[fading cobalt]

Idk what this could be

[orchid comet]

ecto then

[fading cobalt]

Balatrodle spoilers

[violet bear]

Don’t they destroy each other at the same time

[fading cobalt]

It costs ||$5||

[minor portal]

no

[violet bear]

I actually am unaware

[orchid comet]

that would be very sad

I hope they start a whole fight scene at least

[fading cobalt]

No

[orchid comet]

Wanda vs Dr. Strange

[fading cobalt]

It will destroy from left to right

[minor portal]

it goes left to right, so the first madness would destroy the second

or whatever

who cares madness blows up

[orchid comet]

I don't buy misprint do i

it's shitty

but eternal

[fading cobalt]

Nah a anime level fight cutscene of the madnesses fighting starts up when you select the blind

[valid berry]

i looove eternal madness yaaay

[minor portal]

I see a +21 mult in your future

[orchid comet]

once in ante 2 maybe

[fading cobalt]

And then +0 on higher antes when you desperately need the scoring

[orchid comet]

frr

[valid berry]

misprint but its xmult and its .10 to 4x

[fading cobalt]

Eternal misprint is terrible grab

[orchid comet]

damn

[fading cobalt]

Interesting that you didn't give the opportunity for it to give 0x mult

[minor portal]

score obliteration

[orchid comet]

LMAO

0 scored

giving it .10 is wild it'd be gambling

[fading cobalt]

Misprint +mult and misprint xmult combo but they both give 0

[valid berry]

thats paid dlc

[violet bear]

Ah yeah that’s fair

[orchid comet]

misprint +mult gives 21 only for misprint xmult to give x0

[fading cobalt]

21x0 or 0x4

[valid berry]

yeah

[orchid comet]

lmaooo

[valid berry]

i want xmult lower than 1

itd be funny
