[hasty harness]

do yk because its the only legendary u havent gold stickered

[wintry ice]

chicot being second best

[hasty harness]

?

[fading cobalt]

Chicot is amazing

[jagged valve]

Soul looks edible

[tacit quail]

this is a funny build

3k ez

[hasty harness]

i always get souls deep in endless when they dont help anymore

[wintry ice]

no i know because i took it

[tacit quail]

play the long game

[pale wolf]

well fuck you too game

[white zodiac]

comedic timing

[hasty harness]

fair

[fading cobalt]

If I could find the stones in soul cards irl I would collect them

[tacit quail]

my holo jimbo got an upgrade

this is like scaling

where i just keep buying incrementally better +mult

i call it shop scaling

[tawny bough]

nom

[wintry ice]

woo antisynergy

[fading cobalt]

Why in the fuck are you playing the red seal kings

[wintry ice]

taking william afton was a mistake here

[fading cobalt]

Atleast keep one

[tawny bough]

oh shoot im dumb

i thought it said when played

[wintry ice]

also this is quite cool

[fading cobalt]

??

Huh

[white zodiac]

waah stop fighting

[tawny bough]

ithought it only does ability 2x when played

[fading cobalt]

My brain broke

[hasty harness]

we just got an upgrade 😈

[tawny bough]

thx im noob

[white zodiac]

hi noob

[tawny bough]

:D

[hasty harness]

photo does only do 2x when played

[hasty harness]

if u wanna go full power sell out of baron

go for flush five

builds

[woven spire]

my addiction with this game is growing.

[hasty harness]

then again u probably dont have deck fixing

for idol

[fading cobalt]

Photobluestormchad yeah bye baron

[wintry ice]

ight so copy death for 5oak of polychrome 2s or copy temperance

[fading cobalt]

Copy death

[wintry ice]

sounds like the most fun idea atleast

[fading cobalt]

Temperance can come back after you deck fix

[woven spire]

blue storm?

[north spindle]

i mean the word it is called doesnt really matter
it's that this baseline point isn't inherently special, so the idea that decks with downsides relative to the baseline will be inherently less consistent doesn't make sense to me

[fading cobalt]

Blueprint/brainstorm combo

[woven spire]

ohhh

[fading cobalt]

Brainprint sounds weird so

[tawny bough]

teehee

[fading cobalt]

And bluestorm sounds cool

[woven spire]

lmao

[fading cobalt]

Put glass first

[wintry ice]

+3$ i suppose

[tawny bough]

poly+red+photochad

[pale wolf]

thank you judgement for the smiley

[fading cobalt]

I didn't see the poly

[fading cobalt]

Sell chad for swash

[woven spire]

you have been playing a lot less time than me and you are MUCH better lol i feel like im dumb

[fading cobalt]

Then get soul in standard 🗣️

[wintry ice]

what do i copy

[pale wolf]

ugh

[tawny bough]

ayee back to the es

[fading cobalt]

Wdym

[dire barn]

nothing to copy + cryptid?

[woven spire]

crazy

[opal delta]

nothing is good here

[dire barn]

do you have cryptid?

[wintry ice]

red seal because it's practical or polychrome because it would be funny

[wintry ice]

no

[tawny bough]

yep 💔

[wintry ice]

that's extra credit

[dire barn]

oh ok

[fading cobalt]

Probably hold till you can put red seal on polychrome

[white zodiac]

introducing a downside brings more variance to a run that values consistency as a decks strength. hand size isn't a drastic enough upside to alleviate the shop variance being that eternal restrictions are far more weighted.

a downside brings higher variance events, higher variance events brings less consistency, less consistency brings less overall strength of the deck. weak leads to hate. hate leads to anger. anger leads to suffering

[wintry ice]

that'll take ages

[tawny bough]

is this optimal here

[fading cobalt]

Then copy polychrome for fun

[wintry ice]

actually

no i'm stupid

the play is to not use death

[fading cobalt]

Thats what I was thinking

[north spindle]

all decks have downsides though?

[fading cobalt]

But I thought you knew otherwise cuz you're better than me 😭

[pale wolf]

what's the downside of Blue deck

[wintry ice]

do i sell a wee for this

[opal delta]

what downside is there to start with an extra $10

[woven spire]

i think i need tips to get better at endless mode, i can win easily but most of the time i cant get past ante 10 and im ot getting much better at it as i try, any tips?

[white zodiac]

what

[wintry ice]

my mind didn't register that i had perkeo

[north spindle]

it is only at 8 handsize, only starts with 2 discards, doesn't get money from holding onto discards...

[fading cobalt]

2 wees = 2 upgrades
1 wee + chad = 3 upgrades and card value

Definitely take chad

[north spindle]

the only downside that matters is if we take 2 decks and compare them with each other and in that context all decks have both upsides and downsides relative to each other

[fading cobalt]

Cuz lucky and polychrome

[steel chasm]

Of course I get a free cryptid when I’m doing a straight build

[fading cobalt]

Would give massive value

[fading cobalt]

Gotta pivot to flush five

[steel chasm]

One small issue

[opal delta]

is he ragebaiting

[fading cobalt]

This chat keeps distracting me when I'm playing rdr2

[fading cobalt]

Me? Yes

[somber nebula]

i found another red card but just after that...

[north spindle]

the real thing i think comparing with a "vanilla deck" tells us is which decks are farther apart from each other in what they are

[white zodiac]

abandoned has a downside yet it's in the top 3

[somber nebula]

im not skipping for +3😭

[graceful oasis]

what are the other two

[white zodiac]

painted has a crippling downside for what is essentially playing less of the jokers

[crystal field]

abandoned deck is so fire

[white zodiac]

blue, yellow

[wintry ice]

i probably should have known that this would cut my scoring by a lot

[graceful oasis]

spelled ghost wrong but aight

[fading cobalt]

Abandoneds biggest downside is lack of soul card value

[white zodiac]

one soul card

[tranquil oyster]

abandoned deck is just 6 free copies of the fool

[fading cobalt]

True but long run would be better no?

[wintry ice]

this is pretty huge

[white zodiac]

ghost is barely in the upper half

[wintry ice]

no xmult though

[crystal field]

canio in particular is shit on abandoned but the others are ok

or trb

[fading cobalt]

Also isn't bonus cards better than lucky cards

[crystal field]

if u can get face cards early

[wintry ice]

idt bonus cards would make much of a difference

so i'm taking the money

[vocal rose]

not even gonna say shit since its not hard to make face cards

[fading cobalt]

Well bonus cards + chad = 90 chips. But eventually they'd get outscaled

[crystal field]

yes this

[wintry ice]

well it already did

[fading cobalt]

Fair enough

[wintry ice]

that's +20% chips

[tranquil oyster]

canio isn't that bad on abandoned... instead of hanged man it's hanged man + strength, somewhat worse but still a good joker

[crystal field]

but canio sucks in general due to how challenging it is to delete cards

[north spindle]

i think we're on the same page wrt what i was trying to get at with the vanilla deck thing now
ik at some point someone had said something along the lines of "the decks with downsides are inherently bad" and was pushing against that as being a useful framing

[white zodiac]

couldn't have done this on painted just saying

[wintry ice]

i'm going to be silly and kill the run

or not i guess

[terse dock]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1415780753735680151 collect my suggestions

[white zodiac]

we uh

[tawny bough]

so this is fun :D

[white zodiac]

cool

[wintry ice]

but my polychromes are hearts so

i'm keeping chad

this would be a banger seed for endless

[crystal field]

sock and king

[opal delta]

im so lonely

[wintry ice]

though idk if that's because of the mod messing with the joker shuffle

[tawny bough]

nom

[white zodiac]

there's a good reason why the highest gs streak scores are on blue and yellow

[wintry ice]

oh it worked

[north spindle]

i still think this overstates how bad painted's effect is when considering how it relates to most of the other decks but this is definitely a more difficult thing in general

[white zodiac]

wait what

[crystal field]

blue deck is good

[wintry ice]

i think we explained why not being able to freely take eternals is a bad thing like 3 times now

[tawny bough]

new high score!

[north spindle]

ok i mean
very clearly; there is a point at which +hs would make painted indisputably the strongest deck in the game right

[wintry ice]

huh

[north spindle]

im not saying that 4 joker slots is the same as 5 joker slots

[opal delta]

[white zodiac]

I associate jokers as a significant resource in this game considering three of the difficulty stakes are joker themed and there being so many of them while being a contributing factor in run consistency

[crystal field]

panted deck 👖

[north spindle]

the handsize benefit is very good is the point

[white zodiac]

it is not always good

[woven spire]

i think i need tips to get better at endless mode, i can win easily but most of the time i cant get past ante 10 and im ot getting much better at it as i try, any tips?

[tawny bough]

HELL YEAH E12!!!

[wintry ice]

our point is that it's worse than what the joker slot can provide

[white zodiac]

hs can be good but not always
-1 joker slot is a more daunting negative

[wintry ice]

specially with gold stake requiring you to take more risks that are far more impactful in painted

[crystal field]

painted deck is sorta a foil to black deck to me, if +1 joker is = -1 hand, then -1 joker is = to +2 hand size

so these things are valued in this way by these decks

interesting

[wintry ice]

is trousers worth

[white zodiac]

can't take throwaway eternals

can't use eternal rentals

rebate being eternal on painted can sometimes be a hindrance coming late game when econ is settled and new problems come in hand

[woven spire]

should i take this or wait for a negative tag?

[wheat pumice]

Voucher skip

[wintry ice]

take negative tag if you want stickers

take money tags or celestial or standard tags if you want to scale some xmult jokers

[crystal field]

what if no negative tag 😿

[wheat pumice]

Why have I never thought about using gold stake anaglyph deck and taking anegative tag to get stickers

That would save so much time

[woven spire]

ight thx

[crystal field]

bcz its not actually good

[somber nebula]

omg we are potting even more

[crystal field]

you arent guaranteed to even get the negative skip

[wheat pumice]

Obviously

[crystal field]

and even if u do you are likly to get jokers w stickers anyway

and also can have eternal rental and perishable

😔

[wheat pumice]

I only have like 30ish gold stake stickers atm anyways

Would help speed it up a lil

[white zodiac]

most ppl say no

i’ll say yeah but don’t go out of your way to find 2 pairs and scale it out of necessity

[north spindle]

i mean its definitely bad
my claim is that saturn is really strong and in hand effects are spectacular and this makes up for it

[white zodiac]

so uh

just don’t listen to me

[tranquil oyster]

once in a century situation where wild cards are good

[woven spire]

madness....

[wheat pumice]

This and AJ

[somber nebula]

true

[crystal field]

zoker

[somber nebula]

shoot moon tries to sneak up

[crystal field]

drawing shoot the moon to ur hand is 1 million balatros

[wintry ice]

it's good when you have a lot of rsndom commons to sticker

[lunar zealot]

I see nothing wrong with this

[wheat pumice]

Why does this voucher even exist

[wintry ice]

otherwise it's better to play ghost

hologram

[wheat pumice]

Mmm yes let me spend money on a voucher that's just going to dilute my shop and is only helpful to me if I'm using a singular one of the 150 jokers

[white zodiac]

straight builds still have to deal with specific cringe boss blinds on painted, one of them being worse. straights are also less joker agnostic too in the sense that there are less jokers that make good benefit off of it. highly doubt you’re given enough resources every run to always have a blue seal. it’s essentially a stronger pigeon hold on what you’re picking because of going with a more difficult poker hand and a 1 in 20 (per card) in standard packs

[crystal field]

magic trick can be useful if: you have the jokers you want, have access to death, and need to make more cards

ofc u could jut get something else like standard packs or dna

[tawny bough]

got 100 cash to get smth good or its ggs(i score e12 it needs e13)

[north spindle]

even without blue seal straights are usually a chips solution by themselves

[vale wharf]

Will the water negate merry andy?

Or will I get 3 discards?

[crystal field]

its mime hunting time

[mortal nimbus]

you get 0 discards

[serene forge]

magic trick's second best usecase is that it is a voucher you can remove from the pool

[vale wharf]

Aw man

[stray heath]

Is this the best postion for my jokers?

[woven spire]

should i???'

[north spindle]

the boss blinds... i mean sort of
ideally you're deckfixing so they don't matter by the end

[white zodiac]

what if a couple of the boss blinds say otherwise? i’m trying to see how much variance each play goes on this deck in particular as opposed to all the other decks

[north spindle]

and early game you can do alternative stuff to work around

[tawny bough]

rippp

[white zodiac]

is beeline straights on painted better than beeline pairs on say red

[north spindle]

the thing is that painted isn't like a "you have to go straights to get the benefit" thing. ideally you go for the thing that works best

[tranquil oyster]

it's pretty funny how zodiac deck straight up gives you $30 worth of free vouchers and it's still a mid deck. even localthunk knows that tarot/planet merchant are worse than not having any voucher at all.

[lyric shore]

zodiac mid?

[north spindle]

straights are just like a lot more viable with the hs

[white zodiac]

top 4 isn’t mid

[lyric shore]

hows tarot merchant worse than nothing lol

[north spindle]

and can be easily played into

[white zodiac]

you statistically see more jokers on top of everything else

[wheat pumice]

What is your deck ranking

[tranquil oyster]

i'd consider top 4 to be blue/yellow/ghost/magic tbh

[wheat pumice]

Zodiacs not bad but top 4 is a stretch

[white zodiac]

blue, yellow, abandoned, zodiac, according to highest gs streaks

[humble gulch]

Stats

[vale wharf]

Nice

[wheat pumice]

What's gs

[white zodiac]

gold stake

[wheat pumice]

oh true

[tranquil oyster]

yeah, that's due to overstock which is so good it makes up for the other two vouchers. zodiac deck with no overstock would be the worst deck in the game by a wide margin.

[tawny bough]

ggs what an AMAZING run

[humble gulch]

That baron is hurting my eyes

[lyric shore]

without overstock its still easily better than some

[white zodiac]

not by itself, the resources required to scale straights are not as frequent and as plentiful as jokers that pair well with pairs

[tawny bough]

fun while it lasted but im still just a noob :)

[wheat pumice]

may I presen to you:

Black deck

[white zodiac]

not even close but ok

[tawny bough]

day 3 of playing the game somehow 😭

[tidal anvil]

nah, that is still good score, especially since you have only start playing for three days

[white zodiac]

tarot merchant is a valuable voucher

planet is whatever

[tawny bough]

oo cool

[crystal field]

cartomancer my g

[wheat pumice]

I reckon you could make zodiac deck do nothing at all and it would still be better than black deck

[hoary jay]

Yo good job dude

[tidal anvil]

it took me nearly 10 months to get into e territory

[tawny bough]

finally understanding the game probably thanks to this dude

[tranquil oyster]

comparable, but imo black deck would be slightly better. both have a terrible early game, but black scales better into late.

[white zodiac]

i uh

thanks

[tranquil oyster]

this is true!

[tawny bough]

aight night chatttt

im so happy with myself

[white zodiac]

good night streaks

[tidal anvil]

have a good night

[crystal field]

yay well done

[tawny bough]

and also addicted to balatro

[tidal anvil]

same here

[white zodiac]

meth

[wheat pumice]

It only gets worse from here

[tawny bough]

that first naneinf is gonna feel heavenly

[white zodiac]

i’m on a questionable abandoned streak of 13 rn

[crystal field]

rip

[tawny bough]

and 100% unlocking everything

ahhh im just so exited to play more

[dry remnant]

did i just unlock the holy trinity?

[tawny bough]

should probs find some other good combos than photochad 😭

[wheat pumice]

If it ain't broke don't fix it

[white zodiac]

you’ll find more naturally by playing a lot

[tawny bough]

yay

[crystal field]

yes and then you can sell that burger later

[tawny bough]

nighty night

[lyric shore]

didnt see that was plasma lol

[crystal field]

oh rip

[cedar shell]

is there a joker that makes every hand count as the last hand of the round and every discard the first discard of the round

or is that a mod

i cant remember its like distinguishing that one dream from your actual memories

[wheat pumice]

Mod

[regal cobalt]

the plant is such an ass

[opal delta]

cryptid has both those jokers

[wheat pumice]

Apart from finding a Nat negative or Anti Matter is there anything I can even do to improve this run or am I just waiting until I die?

[cedar shell]

makes sense cryptid is the only mod ive ever played

[opal delta]

except one of them is first hand/first discard and the other is last hand of the round

[tacit quail]

u can really win green stake with anything huh

[cedar shell]

yes lmao

[wintry ice]

seeing less jokers in exchange for tarots is far less of a downside than whatever black deck has

It's like abandoned lite

[bleak blaze]

I hate Throwback

[lunar zealot]

Yeah ofc

honestly good you won

[dry remnant]

now i just need to beat it on gold stake lol

[somber nebula]

i like that cola neg skip

2nd echo will kinda hurt more than help. Maybe if you try for the bean glitch but better off looking for antimatter.

yeh i got unlucky draw

so mad

next run ante 1 trib its ok 🙂

[warm kindle]

I've only got a straight flush build once

and it was on painted deck

pretty sure it was some low stake tho so not gold stake

[woven spire]

did you change ur name?

[warm kindle]

when

like I do u mean me adding c++ to my name

or what

[worn drum]

Finally beat Gold Stake Zodiac Deck

[woven spire]

ii might just be dumb

dw

[worn drum]

What deck should I try to gold stake next

[warm kindle]

what decks have u done

[worn drum]

Ghost, Anaglyph, Zodiac

I think

[woven spire]

black.

[ripe iris]

gold stake like red and blue

[warm kindle]

id do black first to get it out of the way, unless its too hard then just do whatever really

[worn drum]

I'm taking suggestions from everyone except you

[woven spire]

LMAO

fair

[warm kindle]

yellow or blue would be the easiest

[ripe iris]

red and blue help you get more familiar with the basics of gold stakewithout complex mechanics

making the next decks easier

so do red and blue

[worn drum]

Okay time for the coloured decks then

Zodiac was so fun

Going from gold stake down to like green stake is so hilarious

Especially with red deck

"what do you mean I have four discards"

[pulsar forge]

yellow

[crystal field]

yellow is the best started for gold stake because money

[white zodiac]

gonna get a similar high when I finish c++ black deck

[warm kindle]

there was no credit card in the buffoon pack 🥀

[unborn cliff]

credit card in the judgement in the emperor in the arcana pack

[tranquil cargo]

try buying and selling the splash

[warm kindle]

too late

[unborn cliff]

[ripe iris]

reroll into a credit card

then reroll back into the blueprint

[unborn cliff]

duh

[ripe iris]

make it a nat negative too btw

[deft panther]

Do we have any insight as to confirmed upcoming changes? Where could I find such info

[unborn cliff]

nope

[tranquil cargo]

some unspecified update is happening in 2026

[ripe iris]

as far as ik theres changes to wild cards, matador, and some new jokers

probably others but i forgot

[deft panther]

I heard blue stake is getting changed

[unborn cliff]

update after GTA VII

[ripe iris]

oh yeah that too

[deft panther]

I think Nebula deck could use a slight buff

I also heard black deck is getting changed but I don't know if that's true

[wintry ice]

likely not

given that it's meant to be difficult

[tranquil cargo]

then why is blue stake being changed?

[unborn cliff]

make black deck -1 handsize since ectoplasm takes handsize 🧠

[unborn cliff]

then it will also be consistent with painted deck

[deft panther]

I heard Blue stake is getting changed because -1 discard isn't an interesting challenge and just limits the viability of certain hand types and setups

[tranquil cargo]

-1 hand size used to be gold stake's effect

trust me, you don't want that

[unborn cliff]

permanent manacle

[barren wigeon]

hot take

chad is good

[unborn cliff]

yeah

[deft panther]

Would nebula deck starting with one of the spectral cards that creates a blue seal be too strong

[barren wigeon]

I know, really hot take

[tranquil cargo]

I'd rather it just gets its consumable slot back

[barren wigeon]

most people hate chad

but I think its a good joker

[tranquil cargo]

why did it ever have that downside? it wouldn't even be top 50% decks without it

[warm kindle]

100000000000%

yes

[deft panther]

Probably to prevent early observatory

[warm kindle]

free blue seal is crazy

[haughty widget]

does ride the bus fully reset when face is played?

[tranquil cargo]

yes

[deft panther]

Yeah

[barren wigeon]

yes

[deft panther]

Ride the bus is my most won with joker

[warm kindle]

like I lowkey could prob get close to 100% winrate with nebula if it gave u a free blue seal

[barren wigeon]

if i had to guess, mine might be supernova or chad

[warm kindle]

telescope can be really powerful tho

[barren wigeon]

supernova is my favorite scaling mult, and chad is chad

[warm kindle]

but -1 consumable slot is pretty rough

[burnt topaz]

Living luxury (Btw today’s my birthday)

[warm kindle]

especially since it makes purple and blue seals worse

[barren wigeon]

congrats

you get a pair build on your birthday

[warm kindle]

happy birthday :3

[barren wigeon]

feels good

[burnt topaz]

Thanks

Two pair is doing just fine

Two pair is easy enough for me

[barren wigeon]

I just feel like two pair is harder to draw, which is why most crispy builds end in a pair build

[regal cobalt]

when 3 pair

[burnt topaz]

It’ll be fine

[regal cobalt]

3 pair joker

[tranquil cargo]

I've done that before in cryptid mod

3 pair is an ascended 2 pair

[barren wigeon]

two pair is probably like 3rd best for crispy builds though, and you already have a two pair joker so its probably more worth it

[warm kindle]

youd need to be able to play 6 cards lol

[burnt topaz]

MORE BURNING

[regal cobalt]

3 pair joker

[burnt topaz]

IM A STRAIGHT ARSONIST NOW

[regal cobalt]

😈

[tranquil cargo]

frost prime?

[barren wigeon]

negative cards....

[warm kindle]

bro gonna win just off hand levels atp

[barren wigeon]

jokerless but with jokers

think about that

[regal cobalt]

3 pair joker

[burnt topaz]

Level 8 two pair on round 6, I have not used a single planet card

[regal cobalt]

🤑

[tacit quail]

?? shop

[warm kindle]

negative throwback looks so sick

[tacit quail]

hack kinda interesting but i got nothing to hack

it does

[regal cobalt]

11 fucking dollars

[warm kindle]

take it for aura points

[regal cobalt]

fuck you throwback

[tacit quail]

aura

[barren wigeon]

it looks fucking sick

[regal cobalt]

11 dollars is 11 dollars

[tacit quail]

yeh meaningless

[barren wigeon]

if you ever dont take a negative that won't actively hurt you then I hate you as a person

[barren wigeon]

true

but it looks cool

[tacit quail]

wait swashbuckler

cool value

[barren wigeon]

true

but more importantly it looks cool

[burnt topaz]

So two pair contains how many cards again?

[wintry ice]

4

[regal cobalt]

i skipped a negative baron in round 4 because i was determined to make an ace deck

[burnt topaz]

IT DOESNT STOP FUYS

[wintry ice]

2x2

[barren wigeon]

5

[burnt topaz]

IT KEEPS GOING

THE BUILD IS STILL GOING

[regal cobalt]

they cant distract me

[barren wigeon]

ew I hate you

actually its baron

[warm kindle]

if it wasnt poly I wouldnt take that cause u alr got ur chips covered

[regal cobalt]

[barren wigeon]

the coolness of the negative and the uncoolness of the baron would even out

making it okay

[tacit quail]

giftcard swash GO

[regal cobalt]

imagine a negative cavendish

[barren wigeon]

carry on but youre in thin ice bud

[regal cobalt]

actually its on thin ice bud bud

[warm kindle]

see look taking the negative actually was the play 🧠

[barren wigeon]

it would definitely be destroyed

[regal cobalt]

id lowkey end it

has it ever happened to anyone

getting their cavendish destroyed

[barren wigeon]

yes

[warm kindle]

just pray u get swash/baseball card then taking useless negatives is the play everytime

[tacit quail]

it poppeddd and spawns immediately

[barren wigeon]

not me

[regal cobalt]

i would never play balatro again bro

[warm kindle]

not to me

[tacit quail]

aura

[regal cobalt]

1/1000

[barren wigeon]

but I've heard tales

[regal cobalt]

youd never catch me playing balatro again

[warm kindle]

I've had cavendish on so many runs and never see it break

[tranquil cargo]

I've never had a cavendish break

[warm kindle]

ik it can tho

[barren wigeon]

I have a way of words

[tranquil cargo]

though that's partly because I've doubled skipped ante 8 to preserve it so many times

[barren wigeon]

thats why cavendish is pretty much unconditional flat xmult with a small asterisk

[regal cobalt]

why would you try to preserve cavendish

if actually got destroyed

[warm kindle]

wdym

[burnt topaz]

The gift that keeps on giving

[tranquil cargo]

to win the run

[regal cobalt]

i would deadass just delete the game

[tacit quail]

temperature value 🔥

[burnt topaz]

Wait no I can’t pareidolia the next blind is mark

[warm kindle]

they mean they skipped the small and big blind so it wouldnt break on those rounds

[barren wigeon]

it would've been so much cooler if the satellite was polychrome

[tranquil cargo]

how hand dependent is your build?

[burnt topaz]

Photograph is good enough

[burnt topaz]

It was a negative tag…

[tranquil cargo]

pareidolia into mark is sometimes fine

[vale jetty]

Well, right before the boss

[barren wigeon]

the 3 space jokers look really cool polychrome

[burnt topaz]

Not really

[barren wigeon]

CHICOT

[vale jetty]

Wait it’s a no brained lol

[barren wigeon]

PREDICTING IT

[warm kindle]

space joker not as much

[white zodiac]

you're broke beyond compare why would you even consider either of these

[vale jetty]

I forgot I have a useless joker lol

[barren wigeon]

yeah

[warm kindle]

rocket and satelite are fire tho

[barren wigeon]

oh

I was not counting rocket as a space joker

[burnt topaz]

I have an extra joker slot, black deck 😉

[regal cobalt]

i lowkey wanna make a double rocket deck

and get rich

[vale jetty]

He was my last one to unlock too

[warm kindle]

oh constelation

[barren wigeon]

I mainly meant constellation supernova and satellite

[warm kindle]

also looks sick

[regal cobalt]

like generational wealth

[barren wigeon]

but yeah rockets cool too

[white zodiac]

doesn't answer my statement

[barren wigeon]

never wrong

[regal cobalt]

how hard is it to reach 1k money

[barren wigeon]

never punished

[burnt topaz]

I have money it helps decently I might as well

[barren wigeon]

not too hard but probably not optimal

[vale jetty]

The boss blind didn’t scare me tbh but I’ll take the unlock tyty

[regal cobalt]

i just want to do it for sport

[burnt topaz]

X2 mult when I upgrade two pair 3 times a round and have an existing x1.5 mult is fine

[barren wigeon]

golden ticket f5 with a buncha retriggers

[regal cobalt]

🤑

[barren wigeon]

thats the method I used for satellite

[vale jetty]

I’m a baseball and bootstraps believer now

[tranquil cargo]

you used golden ticket and retriggers for satellite?

[warm kindle]

to unlock it

[regal cobalt]

i havent been able to get past ante 12

[barren wigeon]

To unlock it, yes

[worn drum]

Good luck good luck

[white zodiac]

I'm not lol

[tranquil cargo]

oh right, the unlock condition

[burnt topaz]

Can playing a hand on hook trigger burnt joker?

[barren wigeon]

oh my goodness dont remind me

[barren wigeon]

yes....?

I think

[warm kindle]

pretty sure its 400 dollars to unlock satelite

[worn drum]

Also man I just won a run on green stake red deck using pairs

[burnt topaz]

Yes

[barren wigeon]

correct

[worn drum]

God help me

[warm kindle]

most likely

[regal cobalt]

the skip to 7 mil of doom and despair

[vale jetty]

It is

[warm kindle]

since it activates grimbo and ramen

[burnt topaz]

It can for trading card so it surely can burnt

[worn drum]

Gold stake has made it impossible for me to play anything but pairs

[tacit quail]

The Evil Voucher ! buy my Evil Voucher

[barren wigeon]

no i had a run

[warm kindle]

and trading card in specific cases

[barren wigeon]

going amazingly

had so many kings of spades bc of dna

[warm kindle]

if u have small hand size

[barren wigeon]

picked up an idol

[warm kindle]

then u can play 5 cards and it will discard 1 and destroy it

[barren wigeon]

and you know what happened next

[tacit quail]

noo come on

[barren wigeon]

the idol hit the SINGULAR 8 OF SPADES IN MY DECK

[regal cobalt]

mans got touched by the plant

[regal cobalt]

nah

[barren wigeon]

oh no I dont get planted

[dark cairn]

god i am getting so tired of the game always spawning the worst boss at the worst possible moment

[regal cobalt]

ok but thats even worse

[barren wigeon]

im too good to get planted

[white zodiac]

[regal cobalt]

id rather get planted

honestly

that sounds horrible

[barren wigeon]

yeah probably

[ripe iris]

throwback carry 🗣️

[warm kindle]

like twice ive had the window into a greedy joker earlygame

[viral raft]

why this seed have so many "S"s

[tacit quail]

it wont

[warm kindle]

with not much else available

[barren wigeon]

its secretly a snake

[regal cobalt]

i guess we’ll never know

[tranquil cargo]

iirc there was a glitch where hook repeatedly triggers a discard joker if you haven't used your first discard yet

I don't think it was burnt joker though, it might have been trading card with reduced hand size

[warm kindle]

yeah

so does it not work with burnt

cause then its def not intentional with trading card

[tacit quail]

sadddd

[vale jetty]

What’s usually the safest card to cryptid on round one?

[barren wigeon]

but hook triggers grimbo

[barren wigeon]

king

[vale jetty]

Kk force baron now

[crystal field]

bala glitching it,,

[warm kindle]

and ramen

[barren wigeon]

or queen, or jack, or whatever

[warm kindle]

but with burnt and trading card its the first discard

so idk if the boss discarding for you should count as the first discard

[white zodiac]

prob my favorite stuntman trading card hook niche

[warm kindle]

especially not multiple times in a row

[barren wigeon]

face cards have the most synergies making them consistently best copy early

[mystic leaf]

yo what do i do here

[crystal field]

with petroglyph theyre all the first discard

[barren wigeon]

I feel like it does

[regal cobalt]

im so sick of this game forcing me to use face cards

[warm kindle]

multiple times in a row tho?

[regal cobalt]

they have way too many fucking jokers

[barren wigeon]

I feel like i saw something that says hook works with burnt joker

[haughty widget]

there is a faceless deck iirc

[crystal field]

balatro serving face card…

[acoustic kettle]

It checks whether you discarded before i guess

[warm kindle]

im just talking about whether it should or not

[barren wigeon]

where if you get hooked you can still discard for a level up

could be crazy though

[acoustic kettle]

Something like
Used discards (0)
Trigger first discard effects

[warm kindle]

well yeah

[barren wigeon]

No, I think i saw a video on it or something

again, I could be crazy

[warm kindle]

like ik how it works with trading card I just dont think it should work like that

[acoustic kettle]

I mean

[warm kindle]

and not sure about burnt joker or not cause I havent seen it myself

[acoustic kettle]

It is a pretty niche mechanic

[warm kindle]

with burnt it isnt

[crystal field]

I think its just trading card

[warm kindle]

like if you have burnt vs the hook its just free levels

if it works

and it wouldnt make sense that trading card works but not burnt

[crystal field]

but idk

burnt joker works with multiple discarded cards

[white zodiac]

meh I don't upgrade high card that often

[acoustic kettle]

Does it work with burnt even

[crystal field]

so excited to drive home and play more cards

[barren wigeon]

I usually upgrade it if my main hand isnt in the pack

[acoustic kettle]

If it does then it should've been way more well known

[white zodiac]

I usually do uranus or saturn for backup hands

hc score can be resolved with like any agnostic chip and mult joker combination

[crystal field]

pluto not worth

[white zodiac]

mostly chips

[crystal field]

unlessno chips

[warm kindle]

I used a mod to give myself burnt joker and yeah it doesnt work

[crystal field]

rip

must be just the trading card

[white zodiac]

already said it didn't work

[warm kindle]

definitely works with trading card tho

[crystal field]

dont u need to like hanged man some cards

that way it only discards 1 card

[white zodiac]

stuntman

[warm kindle]

u can do that

[white zodiac]

just have 6 cards or less in hand

[warm kindle]

or reduce hand size

[crystal field]

oh facts

that makes sense

[dire crater]

sadly theres no custom deck of hotline miami

[lunar zealot]

Dude this hash brown i bought is fucking abysmal

[obtuse crater]

new highscore from yesterday! first game after not playing for a while

[lunar zealot]

they really dropped the ball

How do you overcook a potato

[crystal field]

hashbrown joker

[lunar zealot]

that's like the one thing you can't overcook

[white zodiac]

is that a challenge

[obtuse crater]

yes

[lunar zealot]

to overcook a potato?

good luck

[obtuse crater]

yes

[crystal field]

well cant u burn it

esp if u get like the mcdonalds hashbrown

[wintry ice]

extra credit is a balanced mod

[white zodiac]

glad they give you two rebates in that mod

[wintry ice]

oih hey i can xmult pivot

[unreal island]

nuh uh

[vale jetty]

What could I do from here, I hate green deck

[hasty harness]

ngl green deck is pretty fun

makes u change ur whole playstyle

[brazen island]

i love green deck wdym

[amber forge]

Had no idea Riff-Raff could spawn jokers with editions

[vale jetty]

I just thinks is boring tbh, this is prolly only like my 2nd or 3rd run on it

[wintry ice]

this is pretty big

[brazen island]

try to stay above $20 for hermits 🙂

[cedar shell]

just give me a copy joker please bro

[vale jetty]

Very true, I was until this shop, I don’t think imma live lmao

[cedar shell]

i keep showman around and this is the thanks i get

bitch ass joker

[final bough]

lost another blueprint brainstorm run

i love this game

[wintry ice]

gruh

imagine if this was yellow deck

[lunar zealot]

Ccibtp

[vocal warren]

My trophy

I have defeated purple stake

i think

[wintry ice]

do i take this

[vocal warren]

I forgot, I just be playing shit to play shit

[vocal warren]

What hand are you playing

like whats the run crntered on

[lunar zealot]

i think for painted you get enough chips from saturn to ever need to use a +chips joker

[wintry ice]

small hands ig

[vocal warren]

like pairs and shit?

[wintry ice]

because of holo ramen

[vocal warren]

Yeah

Its early game so its good for scaling

[wintry ice]

idk if i go for straights with holo ramen

[lunar zealot]

nerf

nerd

[wintry ice]

nerf

i don't think straights need a nerf

[atomic trout]

Why? Shortcut, Smudged Joker, Runner, Cardsharp, and Four Fingers. Blueprint!. Lost to the Water

[lunar zealot]

Nerf this!

[wintry ice]

i assume i just sell gem

[atomic trout]

The Seed gives you a straight run

[vale shale]

Omg ccicpt

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vale shale]

Bloodstone sucks yeah

[wintry ice]

wow you and bloodstone must be besties

[serene forge]

runner is not a straight joker

[vale shale]

[wintry ice]

erm actually no part of the game says that he's gay

[serene forge]

@hybrid tendon if you were bloodstone you'd tell me right

[vale shale]

I thought he was bi.

[vocal warren]

I have so many diamonds and clubs man..

I need more spades 😒

[vale shale]

World

[warm kindle]

It can work in a straight build but u dont need to use it in a straight build

[hybrid tendon]

I thought we were more than besties...

[wintry ice]

well no need for square now ig

[serene forge]

yea we are

[wintry ice]

this is such a high roll

[serene forge]

i high rolled with my girlfriend

[vocal warren]

I died

[hybrid tendon]

teto_heart

[vocal warren]

TETOOOO!

[serene forge]

Miku_love

[vocal warren]

MIKUUUUUUU!!!

[wintry ice]

me with the get a room shirt pointing towards the get a room sign

[hybrid tendon]

gonna go back to being homeless just to say you hate poor people /j

[wintry ice]

if that's what it takes...

[hybrid tendon]

the whole world will be my room

[iron sand]

guys who agrees that the violet vessel needs a nerf

[wintry ice]

bye carto ig

[wintry ice]

vv will get a nerf with the blue stake rework

a big part of it's difficulty is that pairs are the strongest hand

[hoary jay]

fuck.

[iron sand]

thats good ti hear

[white zodiac]

indirect nerfs are fine

[wintry ice]

do you need to

[hoary jay]

why would you do that

[vale shale]

What no

[hoary jay]

i don't get restarting anyways

[bronze linden]

yes

its your only option

[vale shale]

If run is dead

[hoary jay]

the captain goes down with their ship

[wintry ice]

she turns into south america

[hoary jay]

go down with the ship

why didnt that

GOD i hate this chromebook

[vale shale]

No

[hoary jay]

i pressed reply 😭

[wintry ice]

guess i'm 4oaking

[unkempt creek]

should i go for completion on my phone or ante 39(?) on my pc

[wintry ice]

well

lemme check arcana

ok 4oak is possible now

[unkempt creek]

i did naneinf for the first time last night so that was cool

[wintry ice]

sell ramen?

[hoary jay]

i was gonna say ur never gonna draw one but ur on painted so thats decently easy

[wintry ice]

and i have 45 cards so

[hoary jay]

probably y eah

[lunar zealot]

Bye ramen LMAOOOO

[icy hollow]

🔥 congrats

[unkempt creek]

thank you

[hoary jay]

very sad about this cuz I got the serpent back to back before this

i just scored too much on the one before this one

[unkempt creek]

wanna see the setup i had?

[wintry ice]

i honestly kinda detest wojak memes

[icy hollow]

sure

[unkempt creek]

first was like the actual setup then i sold perkeo and got trib lol

[white zodiac]

my friend has these weird wojack socks she just wears to lab every monday

[unkempt creek]

didnt get a single copier until ante 18

and i had 3 perkeos prior to that

and rebate instead of dna

[vale jetty]

Maybe green deck is fun

[dark cairn]

beat orange stake using high card thanks to an early stuntman

[wintry ice]

balatro

[dark cairn]

high card is actually really fun to play around cause you have literally zero restrictions on what you are and aren't allowed to play or discard

[unkempt creek]

balatro!

[unkempt creek]

same with pairs

[wintry ice]

i think high card is about the same as pairs if you have a chip joker

[dark cairn]

Well if you get stupidly unlucky or a very small hand size (stuntman) then you can still fail to draw a pair if youre stupid

[sullen lintel]

Riff raff has given me red card 3 times in a row it wants me to take it

[dark cairn]

with high card you can be as stupid and make your hand size as small as you want (excluding 0) and it'll always be available

pretty nice for grimbo, supernova, and rtb

[unkempt creek]

i hate rtb

[sullen lintel]

also giving me 2 jimbos

[dark cairn]

red card is le big epic

[cedar shell]

the humble psychic

[dark cairn]

thats like the one exception lol and even then you just need to slightly use your brain there

[unkempt creek]

not with 1 hand size

or 2

or 3

or 4

[dark cairn]

then dont take 3 ectoplasms if you haven't fought the psychic yet

[unkempt creek]

or have dna or carry cryptid

or certificate

or something

[icy hollow]

Wow nice

[unkempt creek]

thanks

[icy hollow]

Trib baron naneinf pretty cool

[unkempt creek]

fr

i will also have you know baron mime was my scoring since like ante 4 in that run

[wintry ice]

finally

oh that card is debuffed

that sucks ass

hm

[atomic trout]

Should I buy the colorful popcorn?

[crystal field]

Rainbow popcorn mmmm

[atomic trout]

Too late

[wintry ice]

pop corn that turns you gay

[crystal field]

say their name. pop corners!

[wintry ice]

hey i know that brand

[crystal field]

i onmy know it because of the breaking bad ad

they should do balatro ads next

[serene forge]

rooms can't stop me

[atomic trout]

It's in Mexican Spanish. Siiiick. A Gay palomitas

[crystal field]

palomitas de maiz yaaa

[wintry ice]

flush 5 is fun when you can set it up

[amber forge]

Weirdest run I've done so far, somehow it just works lol

[wintry ice]

stencil run

temporary retriggers

[hasty harness]

if ur going for ante 39 unseeded def do bean bug

[wintry ice]

is square an option here

[hasty harness]

probably the easiest way

[wintry ice]

straights are the route that makes the most sense with stencil so like

thanks certificate

decided to sell cert now for safety

hm

[barren wigeon]

PUT IT IN THE BACK

[vale mist]

are we hunting for blueprint/brainstorm

[barren wigeon]

squimbo is always an option

[barren wigeon]

the order and the tribe 4 times

[vale mist]

last hand scored e11 and deckfixing is a wip (18 kings, 3 red seal)

[atomic trout]

I'm sucking today

I can't trust Four Fingers

[dark cairn]

four fingers is a waste of a joker slot

unless you pair it with a runner or somthn

[barren wigeon]

yeah true

four fingers is just a worse shortcut pretty much

makes it easier to play straights but badly

[crisp goblet]

@barren wigeon Hey quick question. what does the C and 1/15 mean in your name? seen this a few times here

[barren wigeon]

C means completionist, and 1/15 is my number of gold stakes

if someone has C+ and then a number out of 150, its their number of gold stickers

[crisp goblet]

ah thanks 🙂

[dark cairn]

all i need for completionist is triboulet and observatory

[grave magnet]

Ante 7 DNA Joker. should i sell gluttonous?

[hasty harness]

isnt this the same run from literal hours ago

[grave magnet]

yes? i havent continued it

[hasty harness]

also if ur skipping with throwback u probably dont need dna

[hasty harness]

no i just found it funny lol

its all g

[grave magnet]

i figured i'd ask because its powerful and i havent discovered it yet

[hasty harness]

fair enough

[crisp goblet]

A very good start 😅 so the play here is club flush into flush house? 😅

[silent oxide]

Promising run

I got an early gift card and a few lucky temperances

[atomic trout]

Maybe...

[cedar shell]

do i take showman here or keep farming money

[grave magnet]

will the holo effect trigger if it was put on a steel card?

[atomic trout]

Come on! I can do it!

Damn.

[cedar shell]

not unless you play it

[cedar shell]

nice try, gg

[atomic trout]

I got Perkeo Ante 10 ☹️
Should have been ante 0

[grave magnet]

i got charred joker in shop.

[devout stirrup]

insane gold stake run and seed with natural negative baseball card + mime + invis

[cedar shell]

yeah bro you gotta go

this is crazy

[hoary jay]

Woahh negative invis 👀

[devout stirrup]

never seen negative invis before

tbh

[devout stirrup]

def my best baseball card run ever

....

[atomic trout]

Canio...on abandoned...

[slender trout]

ancient, and two x2 flush on ante 1 rip me

[hoary jay]

🥹

[devout stirrup]

didnt get the basebal ltill ante 7 i just ogt rly lucky that i already commited to eternals uncommon

[slender trout]

[atomic trout]

Sometimes I would uninstall

[slender trout]

time to cycle between balala and cloverpit

[atomic trout]

Can't mess this up

[vocal rose]

you keep farming money

showman is useless since you have 4 copy jokers

[devout stirrup]

someone tell me their favorite joker rn(real) and ill try to force it in a gold stake run

[north spindle]

troubador

[devout stirrup]

ok but maybe not 1 of the 8 jokers you're intended to sell

matador force would just be

baseball card

[north spindle]

not matador

troubador

[devout stirrup]

oh

mb im sleepy

[atomic trout]

My word

[devout stirrup]

ok i will force troubador build rn

[slender trout]

Bloodstone, dice, baseball, blueprint and copy bloodstone, upgrade flushes, sock and buskin if u can deck correct, depending on deck

[stark karma]

it hurts man

it really hurts
