or riff raff shitting drunkys
My friend wants me to do it so we can do online tho
in all seriousness i do think trib is the worst legendary in a standard gold stake run
for thousands of years the word finger has referred to thumb, I don't think any medical definition changes in the past 200 years can change my mind
that's not how etymology works, that's how descriptivism works
being able to disable bosses is so huge with chicot
Can y'all request the server staff to change the channel name to finger-discussion?
closed minded, not arguing with you anymore then
wtf
genuinely cannot be this serious
It's stupid to call something that's obviously a finger not a finger
Would be more accurate rn
digits are fingers
I hate the 
by balatro definition, the thumb is a finger
you dont know its a thumb, anyway
Y'all fellas quick question, what's y'all favorite static xmult?
blackboard
Mine would be blackboard
driver license
probably Cavendish if I have the choice
License or nanners
license over blackboard is crazy to me
You can only choose one forever...
Midas or Rocket?
midas
rocket
thumbs are fingers because my vietnamese language doesn't have a name for a thumb lol
License is so much easier to get working than blackboard
midas in any form
Ofc it is
What would be yo top 5? It's always interesting to see peeps opinions on the 5 legendaries
what no lol
absolutely not. blackboard can consistently trigger as SOON AS YOU GET IT
Yes. Blackboard involves either deck modifying, discarding, luck, etc
People really like Midas, huh?
How is it harder to only draw three red cards then to get 16 enhanced cards into your deck
You guys are funny
blackboard just requires you to play pairs and all red suits in hand
Trib at lowest it's a constant but the other 4 is very variable
You get enhanced cards naturally
your final challenge: use blackboard without deck fixing
not at all. blackboard is really easy to trigger
two of these are not required
you have to go out of your way to feed drivers license typically
you do NOT have to deckfix for blackboard, it just helps
not as soon as you get it unconditionally
Every time drivers license pops up, I already have over 16 enhanced cards
Thank you jigsaw that's so easy ā¤ļøāš©¹
Idk how you guys are playing the game
is mmmm
now this is a strawman
so you just never find drivers license in the first 3 antes? statistically improbable
is it worth holding a wraith until the next ante? will it give a different joker?
no
most enhancments dont really matter imo. especially early when id not focus on anything but one glass and gold cards
I think thatās happened maybe 1 time
yeah you weren't actually that bad of a person so you got off the hook
License is a goated choice
And I took it and had 16 enhanced by ante 4
then you havent played enough to be making general statements like that
this is strictly impossible by probability
I can say whatever the fuck I want
yes that one glass is for glass joker
Haven't been taking that many enhancements in my last runs but I already have it gold staked, very good Jimbo 
what if they're anomalously unable to perceive driver's licenses before ante 4
glass joker runs are fun :3
no you can't actually
you're so tuff.
i have not have a single glass joker run in my life
Youāre so cool lilo
thanks :3 /gen
well one would assume that if you're saying something you usually want to be taken seriously
lol
this makes no sense considering ante 3 being the first ante to generally pull out packs
Glad I didn't got 3 cards discarded for each hand played 
your statements can also be corrected by others
freedom of speech works both ways
Idk how opinions can be corrected but okay
what's your winrate at gold stake
statistics
id honestly not care for most enhancments post ante 4 too. if its not glass steel lucky or gold id rather take an emperor gamble or something else in a tarot pack usually
youre very passive aggressive, can you try not to be please
and steel lucky and glass are all situational
lol Iām being attacked
gold cards are universal tho
wtf do you want me to do
I made the static x mult question to change the topic and y'all arguing again š I'm gonna get off lads 
i asked you nicely to not be passive aggressive, i believe i was very clear in that actually
most of the enhancements I take are given in 1 enhancement with magician being one of my exceptions
says some dumb shit gets corrected says they're being attacked
No youāre feeding the fire and you know it. Get off your high horse
they weren't really correcting, lilo was stating an opinion of their own (that is, that they think you don't have enough experience to support the claims you make)
Noo i skip the mime
WAIT!!!
i just dont value wild cards stones and bonus/mult cards ngl
i was sincerely asking you to not be so passive aggressive
Got it
<- autistic btw
stones are good but niche in use
i dont do bullshit NT shenanigans like what you're insinuating I'm doing
I like stone like half of the time depending on other options in pack
never underestimate them in a pinch
Im working on black staking everything, doing pretty well
Okay
I gtg š sorry dawg
:P
guys im dying next round should i ankh or hex
that applies to a lot of bad things though
Good luck with y'all's runs lads 
twin
huge hex
Love y'all
Ello ello how we doin
bet
well opening a statement with DL or BB for viability is open for a skill check conversation
whats dl and bb
Am i so stupid as to only now find out that ankh removes negative from copy
Dl or bb?
the dice lucked out
drivers license and blackboard
maaaaayyyybe
lol oh
ty ^_^
hey everyone whats your favourite bad thing in the game. i personally love green deck even if i know it aint the greatest
i can't read im a balatro fan
the context clues can't be this hard
driver's license
black board
yeah you should have probably known by now lol
I guess i literally never run into the situation of having both a negative and an ankh
me but anaglyph and cloud nine
I mean I prefer license because like I said, less cost to get working but itās okay if you think otherwise
read it?
cloud nine is my goat
The Family
not that hard to just say what you meant /gen
it does say "removes negative from copy" on ankh text
cloud nine is scaling money its pretty solid and at worse its jsut golden joker
ok but to be fair just say their full government names, dont have to abbreviate them
I'll be back in like an hour when I don't got class dw 
gg
i have never had both a negative and an ankh at the same time
See more attacking
Can't have enough of the balastro server
where
you don't need to twin
āLook at this dumb fucking noobā
it has the same text
that's just not what was said though
oh wait i didnt see the word bad
'Removes negative from copy' only appears if you have a negative
it was passive aggressive for sure but this is just outright lying
Oh and you think Iām passive aggressive
wait does it???
I just got a lucky ace to trigger both +20 mult and +$20 š„
EVERYONE STOP ARGUING
YURI BEAM
...? youre doing it again i swear.
be direct or im blocking you
cant be dealing with this NT bullshit rn
girls kissing straight to the skull
I think that's the biggest red card I've ever had
Most deadly weapon ever
weird
is that tohou
whatever her name is
best to worst?
yorick
perkeo
canio
chicot
triboulet
girl from touhou red girl
imo
ragebait used to be believable
teto /j
no teto is pnk i think
What do you want me to be more direct with? I stated my opinion. You all disagreed and started jumping down my throat. It is what it is. I play differently than you all. End of story
When the baron is early
erm actually the red card in this specific image is the same size as every other red card you might have encountered, unless you have encountered a bug that reduces their size š¤
baron is so absurdly bait here
teto is red but shes not in touhou
Take it anyway
rick > cano > chic > perk > trib
nah im kidding
baron bad
probably open pack instead
open the pack
blocked
I'm taking hone
Take jolly actually
What is happening
Nah
you stated your opinion, and we stated that we disagree with your opinion
actually take hone
thats it
yeah
Hone does jackshit
best play
Just buy the pack
no its the optimal play
*and attacked me
attaacked what???
Girl what even happened @cloud sinew
Hone is ass
im too lazy to scroll up
you're the one who brought up "look at this noob"
person posts ridiculous sounding opinion and is mad people are challenging it
i nicely asked to stop being passive aggressive, proceeded to be passive agressive and then i said be direct or im blocking you and then was passive aggressive again
at most they just said that your way of playing is bad
which is in no way a personal attack
This is untrue
No why did this all start in the first place
same idek whats going on
wtf yes that is
i just said im too lazy to scroll up but ok thanks
Cruiser said that DL > BB
Yes
I thought directly linking the start would help idk
You don't need to scroll up when you just click a button
And then this place exploded
All you need to do is scroll down
Holy double skip + very nice first boss, mean i can setup myself on heart flushes
And then I got attacked
MYEH MYEH MYEH MYEH MYEH thats what you sound like
I mean
cute
oooo risky game here
blackboard is i think better in almost every way except the fringe scenario of painted deck + hand size vouchers
Never punished, rewarded with family
Blackboard is cheaper, has an easier condition, and is uncommon
you might as well buy the shop smh
blackboard is good
blackboard seriously needs a red suit counterpart
bbc š¤¤
Blackboard involves you getting only black cards in your hand
in a question of what you find the goat of static x mults to be
real
and it needs to be something equally enticing to build into
Which is easy enough if you play small hands like pair or high card
I still vouch for the red seal idea
bloodbath
playing red cards unscored
Indeed
What? No thatās the hardest
thats the only joker name i can think of
and honestly both rough gem and Bloodstone probably need some sort of change
oh wait i think remember now we "attacked" you because you decided to be a smartass and go "I can say whatever the fuck I want"
it statistically isnt
And world/moon is obviously easier to come by than empress/heiro/magician/etc etc
it's pretty simple methinks
red suits only have rough gem as good jokers while black suits have blackboard and seeing double arrowhead and agate its wildly out of balance
Where are these stats
I don't understand
rtb or certificate?
bus
I'd grab both but is that the right move?
the deck you play on...
Wah second shop very nice too
but probably not necessary
You can play your red cards to get them out of your hand and blackboard triggers that hand
aggregate looking at top player runs, what sorts of builds they have in their streaks, what is the most consistent overall, etc
You still need at minimum 3 cards in your hand to be black
Small hands are better than large hands
no you dont
I know
blackboard works if you have no cards
which is not that hard???
with rtb it might be better cuz it adds more number cards than face
Having 0 cards in hand triggers blackboard
might be worth taking certificate for a round or 2 before selling, you can pivot into a certain hand,rank or suit depending on what certificate gives
So you need to get down to only 5 cards possible in your hand?
and the materials you play around it (discards, throwaway hand)
having a wild card in hand triggers blackboard
no? just saying that what you said was wrong
no, that's not what I said.
i thought certificate could create face cards? maybe i'm wrong
it can
Iām confused
ofc it can
I feel like we have a fundamental misunderstanding on our common ground
yeah
The chance you still have >3 red cards in your hand after all discards is so low even in an unfixed deck
it does, there's just more number cards that's why I said that
Blackboard gives x3 mult if all cards held in hand are black suits
The game is telling me to flush it out
All my money is going to be stolen š
In an eight hand size, yes you need three black cards at least
but you could have lower hand size or use hangman or something
I'm arguing against what you said about needing a minimum of 3 black cards, that is all
oh well yeah that's true
i'd prob take certificate for a bit
play the pair
half of the deck consists of black suits/red suits. you can play more than half of your 8 card hand size.
and ignore bus?
Right and thatās my point
no both
with pair and high card, you can force that really easily
alright
always take bus when its that early
Optimizing blackboard involves resources
gotcha
WOAH hook has another benefit; blackboard
by just playing red cards that you want to get rid of
Just like drivers license
having to draw three black cards is like probably as likely as drawing a pair, It's very easy to do even on the base deck
I played 4oak
also try not to win to quickly. you want to be playing high cards to scale bus, using all your hands if possible
Nowhere near as much resources are needed
World/moon transform more cards than magician/heirophant do
but be mindful of interest thresholds
and also
driver's license you cannot get online for usually a couple antes
Blackboard is uncommon
I disagree but we can end it
involves MUCH less resources. you start with 50/50 black/red suits, so you're VERY unlikely to be put in a position where you can't trigger blackboard with 2 discards
goood
so statistically blackboard proc is trivial in the hands of the small. small hands
BLAKCBOARD IS UNCOMMON
DOES NOBODY HEAR ME
You can't disagree with an objective count of resources
no it's legendary
we know, just ignoring that for a second
i decided
guys what rarity is blackboard
But then youāre using up discards for that (resources)
in which you have access to right off the bat
No moves left...
and?
it's something that's renewable vs something you have to spend money to add to your deck
challange. beat A8YRFUHG with ghost deck and red stake
Whatās special about the seed
the same applies to getting 16 enhancements via spending money...
Once drivers license is set up, you donāt need to do anything special. No wasting discards to set it up. No lowering your hand size needed, etc
not that license is in any way bad
baron mime first shop /s
But the main thing with license is that it costs a ton of money to get online
and until then does literally nothing
getting driver's license set up is a big endeavor, that's not just a trivial thing you could put at the start of the sentence
want to see how you guys will beat it
Is better to blueprint hangchad or photochad
at least constellation scales by x0.1 per planet
First of all it's hanging Chad and photograph, and you copy photo
Once blackboard is set up, (repeat of what you just said), except blackboard works completely fine in a pair build without setting up
License is x1 and then goes straight to x3
blackboard can activate almost always [from a deck starting position, i mean], drivers license requires you to use a minimum of 8 enhancement tarots
I disagree. You can set it up within 4 antes
That's a long fucking time what the fuck
you can setup blackboard within 0 rounds
You can
assuming you have the money
first round blackboard starts working
Chat, why is Cavendish only common and not rare? It provides so much value without any condition to be met unlike the other high xmult jokers
Sometimes
should drivers license lowkey be an x4
But that's not always going to be the case
or is that busted
12 rounds 
It does have a condition though
it has a pre-requisite, which is gros michel going extinct
because you need to extinct another specific common first, and then encounter an additional specific common
it has a condition to get (extincting banan) which makes it rare
because banana has to expire and having cavendish be any rarer than it already is is unfun
lol someone give me a seed with drivers license ante 1
what
just use saturn mod
ALEEB
if you force drivers license youre gonna get it online sooner...
this doesnt prove anything
driverās license, once on, applies to any hand; blackboard doesnāt necessarily work with every hand type
the optimal play is RARELY to force drivers license early
both depend on where youāre at in the game
obelisk is faster to get online than driver's license with a bigger payoff
It's kinda an easy pre-requisite, though
And banana itself provides so much value in the first 3 antes
This guy gets it
Also please consider that license is expensive to get online and until then literally cannot provide anything
world:
i agree, world exists
if cavendish was rare you would literally never see it 99% of runs
point stands though
bananas a pretty good value, but you have to play with the risk of losing your scoring every single round, and then once you lose it there's no guarantee you even see Cavendish
16 enhanced cards is
for lack of a better term
Fucking expensive as all hell
not rly, ur only picking up banana very early (or if u have space to be speculative i guess) and ur often selling it before it goes extinct even in runs u find it quickly
the only time i buy license is when i already have like 12+ enhancements
and at least constellation has the gall to give scraps of xmult as you build it up from x1
im almost never selling a michel if i take it early (exc. after like 5 rounds)
$32
blackboard? ehh⦠if youāre a pair spammer i can see why youād take it
license will stay at x1 until you get it up to 16
i've had it last 12+ rounds multiple times where i needed the slot
ya best case scenario
(barring spectrals)
which you should be if youre playing gold stake
(and even then it's only a static x3)
32 dollar is expensive
pairs are meta for MANY reasons
(which i donāt because i donāt find it fun)
also i don't know where you get that number from
to each their own
It doesn't get disabled by suit blinds which is nice iirc
it's definitely going to be higher
true
lol $32 is NOT that expensive in balatro
but it wouldnāt make sense if suit debuff bosses cancelled blackboard anyway
it is when you factor in red and gold stake
Compare it to blackboard which costs $0 to start using it is expensive
To power up tons of cards AND get a consistent 3x yes please
$32 over multiple rounds with good rng
as well as having to juggle buying jokers and planets for survival
Mime is bait i think, not sure the voucher is useful
8 2card tarots is $32 but thats IDEAL scenario where you get empress, heirophant, magician every single time
its likely much higher than that actually
No way...
it feels like you're not listening to what i'm saying which hurts
Spot on!
with red card mime is pretty mid cos ur not gonna get many gold cards
I mean generally people recommend avoiding suit builds because of those boss blinds, but that card doesn't have that problem
yea
I took blue seal so i take mime
sell certificate, right?
not a big blackboard fan but itās good for sure
i would sell summit here
real
Sell summit
you dont need summit
iāve had to make blackboard work on flushes
technically summit can be better to sell
LOOLLL
damn
also enhancements and suit changers exist in the same build. for statistical joker appearances id rather speculate working towards a joker that already works upon pickup, rather than working on a rarer speculative appearance for something that you would consider as an after thought. prior to the meta that is pair lobotomy
you have bus
Never punished
yes you have bus
Girl wait i once had this run with blackboard bloodstone
oh
i'm dead serious
You just got another x3
then sell bus maybe? depends
youre on blue deck with blueprint and xmult, youll be fine
THATS PRETTY FUNNY
bus is at 9 with 2-3 scale per round
ABSOLUTELY not. it's blue deck
are you minimising score for max scaling?
Bue dek
make it 5
play high cards and shove xmult to the left
no usually I play 2 pair or 3oak for square joker so actually no**
I had blackboard save me on a flush run of all things
it beats mystic in just 2 rounds
certificate means you're not starving for ourple seals
Also you have x9 mult
from blueprint blavendish
I meant no
itās so funny when this happens
Bus š¤®
so like
you should be playing pair/hc here, and make sure youre putting cavendish leftmost
thatās what iām saying
alright
bus is good but damn do i hate it
I fucking love bus
you seem to hate good things
$32 and 4 antes, man does time travel slow
Im on a bus rn
so rn I sell summit, keep bp on certificate and scale bus as much as possible, right?
W
im about to be on a bus
š¤·āāļø
enjoy the view
If you need scoring copy la banana
I love looking out a bus
iāll take a green joker over bus
yas last hand
Mmmmmm parking with mime is very attractive, cause i still don't have my econ in check, probably yeeting crafty since i got planets now
in what world...
why.
cross fingers there won't be any accidents
this one!
Itās raining and the windows have a bunch of condensation, i have no view
i like green joker
justify your take
Too easy
omg rain Open DA WINDOW
okay and i dont need to listen to what you say if you dont justify it
but green joker forces pair slop 1000x more than bus
mime with photochad?
who said you have to listen
thereās a hundred other chatters here than you
whoops
@heavy heron we may play similarly. We can be besties
do u get midas mask and burglar at the start of every run wtf
Sorry if this seems stupid, but a Pluto bopped out of nowhere at the end of the round. Why?
you LOOLLL
Yes
want me to bring up the receipts
blue seal
ok so i know that Canio is from the play pagliacci, but i dont think that should necessarily stop Pagliacci from being his own Joker
no i didnt LOOLLL
if I got those 2 every time i could see why you prefer green
it crashed into earth
you played high card with a blue seal
ahem
dont worry you'll be fine as long as you get a fire extinguisher
Ah, that was it!
are you new to the concept of demands /s
That is the only thing that can directly generate planet cards besides a fool
Do ittttttt
very
i did
and perkeo duhhhh
they don't know the ace rtb tech

Yayyyyy. Never let them gaslight you and pretend theyāre innocent and noble
Huh, good to know
this guy gets it
$11 spectral and jumbo arcana pack do I open both š
and the planet tarot but ykwim
That looks creepy
spectral first
Yeahhh

can you rephrase that in 20 words or less
put it in a tiktok pls
unfortunately me on white stake plasma š
i donāt get the holding R part
mobile player haha
it starts a new run I think
WRONG SEED
yes me too
bad wording
AHHH you got me
btw both?
My bad i put too much hatred in it š
this is peak
you just did an unseeded run lol
bus is simply objectively more fun than green joker (can use purple seals, discards so you aren't forced into just scaling pair/high card)
idk what those are, idk the skins
i think the slur part might be a lil crazy
square egg swash holo. ill try ur seed now
woah
you haven't been here for long then
u know what i mean
yea, sorry for shouting, caps was on
cat, cat, weird cat, still cat, ooo holo
well that depends on what you like
i respect your opinion! it seems not everybody here is capable of that, sadly
@grizzled jetty dude
card sharp first pack
how did you lose this
that sounds mean
my bad
no need to b mean š
should've been drivers license
STOP
it'll be good in 4 antes wtf
I call it, "Life in Spain"
Where you have a Negative Smeared faced Runner getting paid to run from the Bull. Taking shortcuts. Oh. And he's ha Seed Money and Inflation. What a Chad.
hey card sharp has a 2 in 23 (not quite but shh) chance to be useless in the last few bosses
nah you really shouldnāt be taking a license until you have enhancements already
speculative license kills you so bad
only if u have like no money
which is the entire early game
it can be sort of a pseudo obelisk/ campfire
and no mult
which is.. also a common outcome early game
IM SORY i said it THEN realised it was mean
Card sharp is like
balatro
wait nvm i play on the plasma deck now
say it to my fucking face
sharp card
@tranquil steppe damn
where do you live /j
no its fine. im not good in the game anyway
other side
what happened
gun range
can we make a balatro sandwich
we both play balatro on our phones
im curious. did you take the first ante rare skip?
of the ocean not the Earth, dingus
idk, im almost late to my meeting
That's kinda gay
I don't even know what's on the other side of the globe from Britain
and iām almost late to my class
Aus
oh youre transatlantic okay
aren't I brave
read this in a british accent
yes. i mostly skip the small blinds
which one
welsh
I hate crimson heart so much
I do love a Welsh accent
Crimson heart more like piss and fart
I like that Rob guy on channel 4
come off it ye old chum
Laugh
š„ š„ š“
are you trying to get yourself killed
never refer to a Welsh, Irish, or Scottish person as British btw
im more of a Scottish or Irish
crimes
Don't care, they're on the land mass of Britain
I hope thunk reworks ante 8 blinds to be less divisive between total nothingburger difficulty like acorn and rng bullshit like crimson heart
i'm scottish i don't have a problem with it
they can eat their feelings however much they want
im Scottish, I do have a problem with it!
i would enjoy if they were all semi-equally difficult
Right
Acorn I think should be a regular boss blind
What's the easiest way to unlock petroglyph?
leaf is just a diversification check
acorn could totally be a regular boss blind
plasma white stake
Photochad and glass
my scottish friend in whatsapp gc always makes fun of their landmass it's heartwarming
disagree; had to make a mandatory play against acorn
I think it's fun as a puzzley blind but it's not exactly hard
My favorite idea for acorn is still demoting it to normal boss blind status and then making the new final version of it shuffle every hand
sure this defeats the theming of The Phoenician alphabet but Flint already sort of does that anyways right
Just kinda makes you waste a hand or two at most to figure out where your jokers are
You say that like it's easy to set up š
what if it pins your jokers
worse than heart
absolutely not
it is pretty easy to set up relatively theyre all common
Wouldn't this be kinda rng like crimson?
yeah making it effectively cringe
there's still a few ways of figuring out which Jokers are which, and you could keep track of a single Joker throughout the thing by doing the same click and hold technique
its easy within 12 antes
i guess
bruh
how would that work
every boss blind also shuffles and flips your jokers
Every round your jokers get acorned
I don't mind verdant leaf as much as VV or CH
Focus on money and tarot generation first, itās easy to score enough on plasma deck white stake
bs and bp become much worse
Good
honestly I would be down with it, especially if you added all of the other cards that could possibly have modified backs
the only time acorn is threatening is with blueprint and even then its just a functional -1 hand on 0.5 speed
Belly.
still kinda does nothing but it's just annoying now
honestly if you need to put your game speed down to figure out what's blueprint then...
attention check
well, then nothing, but you should probably learn to do it without
exactly
honestly would make me perform better each run
if i didnt pay attention i would just savescum
oh
Certainly better than current blue stake /hj
not blueprint. but wvery single joker in a set of 5 thats all
Ok, I will try
because it's boring to have to pay attention to your jokers flipping for 24 rounds in a row
on most runs you have one joker you just need to hold as well
meh savescum takes too long for me on mobile
since whatever econ you have does not matter at acorn
I say this after a thousand hours of investment
yeah between knowing what one of the Jokers are, and that only three of the others have actual effects in one of them is a blueprint, I just need to see which one repeats, and if it doesn't then the blueprint was on the far right
I stopped savescumming entirely bc it lags my game so much after I do it
I want thunk to patch savescumming so I don't have to have a backbone
somebody said virtual Insanity earlier and it's been stuck in my head ever since
i want to not have to play worse in order to be taken seriously
babs is

i let the bird out of the cage


no ford shelby in my latro

how to do you setup and utilise obelisk well?
HOW 2 PLAY OBELISK
STEP NUMBER 1
HAVE A +MULT JOKER THAT IS UNCONDITIONAL
THAT IS TO SAY THAT IT WILL ALWAYS TRIGGER NO MATTER WHAT HAND YOU PLAY OR WHAT THING YOU DO
EXAMPLE: RIDE THE BUS
STEP NUMBER B:
Are those 4 jokers worth unlocking?
we do have proof of birds in balatro though
30 of each suit
troubadour has a feather in his cap
HAVE A +CHIPS JOKER THAT IS UNCONDITIONAL
SAME AS STEP 1
EXAMPLE: CASTLE
STEP NUMBERO TRES
PLAY PAIRS
and I think a lot of people for some reason think abstract Joker is a chicken
PAIRS ARE THE BEST HAND IN THE GAME AND YOU SHOULD PRIMARILY BE PLAYING THEM ANYWAY WITH THE FIRST TWO STEPS IN MIND
HOWEVER FOR OBELISK SPECIFICALLY THESE ARE DOUBLE GOOD
3 of them are
AS OBELISK WORKS BEST IF YOU HAVE A LARGE BUFFER OF 1 HAND TYPE
PLAY A MINIMUM OF 12 PAIRS
THE RECOMMENDED IS 14
16 IF YOU WANT TO PLAY SAFE
STEP 4
Oh, they don't do the same thing as each other like the sin ones?
PIVOT OUT OF PAIRS
well yeah, pairs are quite easy to play but so is high card
the existence of a feather does not prove the existence of a bird, it proves the existence of feathers
PLAY ANY HAND YOU CAN MAKE AND PRIORITIZE HARDER HANDS
no they have unique effects from each other
GENERALLY PLAY PAIRS OVER HIGH CARDS FOR OBELISK AS YOU CAN BE LOCKED INTO PLAYING A HIGH CARD AND BE FORCED TO RESET OBELISK
AND BECAUSE PAIRS ARE JUST OUTRIGHT BETTER THAN HIGH CARD
spades - 50 chip
clubs - 7 mult
diamonds - 1 dolla
hearts - 
AND VOILA YOU HAVE A VERY VERY VERY FAST SCALING XMULT JOKER
would $2 rough gem be too broken
Business card but for diamonds

I made these balatro emojis for you all to use... for free!
Enjoy š
1/2 $3 isnt, from my testing
I don't like the idea of introducing chance into it though
What did hearts do š
with blue stake rework maybe idk
I feel like that should stick with Bloodstone
well, thanks maybe I'll try it for once finally if I get it early game, I like that you wrote it all out in caps, made it easier to read lol
chance based econ is fine, and means both red suits have chance based synergy
THANK YOU MY CAPS LOCK BUTTON BROKE PLEASE HELP
You've changed my mind
because of the second part
Walmart business card+ops all 6s
but also revert Bloodstone back to 1 in 3
the first part didnt change your mind? do you think that parking/business are problematic?
for 2x
absolutely not
1/3 for 2x is the worst version of bloodstone
Business card said something mean on twitter
of all the uncommon suits cards, I assume oynx is the best one, bloodstone is too unpredictable unless it spawns aside oops all 6
no I just liked the idea of only one of the suit Jokers having probability, but for it to be a red suit-based synergy to go along with probably whatever blackboard's counterpart will be
arrowhead is the best
That's cooking
Without any retriggers, yes its not that reliable
even with retriggers it's not reliable necessarily
chat do i ride this bus
youre just less likely to lowroll
uncrop the screenshot and I'll tell you
enhance more I can't see the joker
I'm not going to tell you unless you post the image
that is not what was asked of you
no enhance
simply because I can't tell you
just post the full screen
alright, ragebait successful

hi kami
i open the packs first
advice?
10:30 my time has come
have you tried turning it off and on again?

what is swash doing here
Very close to making the Idol online.. the blind scaling got me before fixing my deck
you have red card rebate
š« react this clown
meanie panini kamini
Can't send letters. They got stolen
survival
AS IT ALWAYS SHOULD BE
was about to flame u for dying to leaf but u wouldnt even without chicot
god swashbuckler is so frickin good
With both Egg and Gift
swash is okay
I've died more to Bell than I have to leaf
no no no swashbuckler is the greatest joker to ever exist ever in forever
likely because of complacency
swashbuckler is a joker
Does gift card scale better with swash or egg better?
I think gift card is better because you can get rid of the gift card and you can't get rid of the egg
Both Best together
gift card > egg
Ahh alr
also you get more sell value from gift card but that's besides the point
also uncommon
being able to kill gift card is the biggest boon
egg is $3/round, giftcard is $4 assuming you have 5 joker slots
would be $5 but swashbuckler doesnt count himself
if youre looking at temp it's $5
he's so kind he gives all the joy to everyone else
Gift Card is best when you have multiple Jokers
well yes
and if ur looking at consumables it's 7 or 8
Especially the Rare Cards
no
Might try that comp if I have the opportunity to do it lol. Was only able to do swash egg in one of my runs
gift card doesnt care about rarity
Really? š
i think he means
Awww
But I do know that when you have a gift card, you have a swashbuckler and an egg, these three combinations are pretty good for plasma deck, white Stakes
well that was not challenging at all
well
sure but also not really
honestly I'm not sure I understand the theming behind gift card
?!?!
plasma white stake thrives on chips
Swash?
gift cards don't add value to things, they let you buy things for what would normally be money
I don't know about plasma on purple Stakes because those are too difficult
this is the wiki trivia thing.. i guess
doesn't make a whole lot of sense
i guess
That's just describing what a gift card is
That's not even connecting it to theming
laziness is represented as passive value generation
but it's saying that the gift card is the non-lazy alternative to gifting money
oh wow. thanks. gonna see if i can reverse engineer that jokers
maybe in the sense that instead of giving you money directly it gives you money through the jokers' sell value but thats a very big stretch
it's the same trivia its just about the principle
open first shop buffoon pack, the second one, instant card sharp is a free win
fandom wiki on their way to point out the literal real life counterpart of an object as if its funny and witty trivia
hmmmmm
honestly this is a good start
it says the exact ssame thing
i did say that yes
and then once you actually need context it doesnt have anything
ok sorry
didn't see
The balatrowiki.org wiki is mostly the exact same as fandom at the moment, it's slowly been changing and improving but it began as an offshoot so everything was the same to begin with
by the way which buffoon pack you buy doesnt matter they have the same queue
shrimpteresting
i don't fully understand how shop queues, rare tag queues etc actually work
I'm still a little mad about this
fork but with a better ui and basically little else to change because after a while this game is kind of solved apart from a bug list
I wish they were per pack
im not
it just doesn't make sense
i actually picked the business card and made a shit ton of money instead
it would make more sense that way
if you see the pack, how can the cards that are inside the pack change depending on what you do
There are quite a few bad pages still
like what new info can we get over idk chaos the clown after a year and a half of playing
the bus page is terrible
ante 4 i got swash into egg and tons of arcanas after
big temps
yeah but in the context of a random seed run it doesnt really matter
i agree, i just wouldnt want it to work like that because then you can run the same seed and make an entirely preference based decision and end up being better or worse than someone else
I think there's significant improvements still to be made for a lot of things on it though, mostly organizational
yeah sorry I didnt delve into every single page because I value my time but yeah incompetence from either wiki needs to be corrected
lets see how outrageous this is...
It says green joker synergises with bus
too many words on my screen
Like ???
I don't think the fandom wiki needs to be corrected at all
it should stay garbage
wuuut
the fandom wiki has been abandoned pretty much
i guess they both scale similarly but why so much flat mult
they literally just do the same thing
i got erosion + trading card so that scaled even faster than swash + egg lmao
steel card baron synergy š„
c9 synergizes with golden
itās worse than steel card baron
They slow each other down, steel cards and baron donāt
red card hallucination synergy
didn't see an erosion anywhere but opk
"capable of unlocking"
my favorite synergy is dna obelisk
then you didnt make enough money
it helps you pivot from high card to 4oak trust
two uncommons are better than two commons? surprising
i been watching dr spectred's speedruns they're very entertaining
with how wordsy and elitist wiki pages writing tends to be seeing spamming as an actual term feels wrong
also just wrong, this should be "only blank vouchers will be offered...." or something along those lines
infinite amount of Blanks
especially how everything else around this is written
thats how it works no?
i mean
wording
no
infinite amount implies you just get them for free i guess
the store will not produce an infinite amount
lars is reading through this in.... 1hour now absolutely begging us to just fix it ourselves
