# fickle mesa its sort of pareidolia in that sense

multiple economic synergies with little of its own solo applications, theoretical scoring applications that dont really work out and usually not staying around for long due to being the weakest link because of its dependence

you wanna do one or the other

woven spire
#

lol

fading cobalt
fickle mesa
#

which usually means chips because mult is significantly harder to stack

mighty orbit
#

Balatro should collab with otxo

dreamy creek
#

plasma score is calcualted by [(chips+mult)/2]^2 so you should pitch into mult OR chips

#

just not both

fading cobalt

there r def mult plasma runs

it wouldnt be correct for me to say only chips

What is abandoned deck good for

fickle mesa

#

oh boy here we go

fun fact: you need around 6x more chip/mult to make plasma worth it

theyre already so high compared to mult

apologies mx dagger

fervent wolf

#

or if ur done growing it

dreamy creek

you right

#

but like egg

woven spire
dreamy creek
#

the best way to get the biggest dagger is actually with gift cards

#

not with eggs

fickle mesa
#

both work

dreamy creek
#

but like

cloud sinew
#

stumbled upon it

woven spire
#

yeah

dreamy creek
#

the biggest dagger

fickle mesa
#

the biggest dagger uses both right

#

wait no

dreamy creek
#

the biggest dagger starts with gift cards

fickle mesa
#

just gift

dreamy creek
#

and then gets like 1-2 eggs at the end

woven spire
#

the biggest dagger uses legendary jokers

#

Chicot.

mighty orbit
#

Uncs how was the early days of balatro like before it got popular

dreamy creek
#

chicot's best use is dagger

#

+20 mult

Yeah and you know what luchador is?

flowerpot is niche as hell

silent oxide
#

A really fucking good joker

tame cobalt

Yes

mighty orbit
#

Add a slot machine joker

tame cobalt
#

I don't get the chicot hate

white zodiac
#

chicot has some competition now that luchador tech has been discovered

silent oxide
#

Make chicot have infinite sell value since he's just infininte lucha

woven spire
tame cobalt
#

If i get chicot it means I don't have to worry about blinds that could counter my build

fickle mesa
#

luchador is solid chic is just better luchador

#

oh unless u wanna use glitches

ocean yoke
#

Ok what

fickle mesa
#

in which case

mighty orbit
#

Will there be more tarot cards added or since he made one for all of them there wont be new one

many ways to beat the plant but chic is in fact one of them

#

oh yk something cool i just realized wrt dagger food

ocean yoke
#

any benefit to me getting apps all 6s in this run

on plasma stuntman and a few planets is enough to win

plasma's got the chips to mult pivot thingy so theres that, in black i can apply all the strategies that normal decks have so itll be less painful

Ok guys, I hear about how high card is the best bet.

Does this apply to green stake or am I on my own here lol

nova mantle
balmy ridge
#

who told you to play high card lol

fickle mesa
#

pairs are significantly more powerful than hc

#

this applies on most decks

tranquil cargo
#

if it works on higher stakes, it works on lower stakes (except eternal-dependent strategies below black stake)

fickle mesa
#

and all stakes

viral totem
opal delta

cryptid is obsessed with jolly jokers for some reason

fickle mesa
#

high card is powerful though

white zodiac

it's ehh

fickle mesa
#

its good w like square joker

#

i mean id rather do pairs w square

white zodiac
#

scaling is absolute piss but you'll get to use it with whatever chips ig

fickle mesa
#

but you can like hold more gold cards and blue seals

white zodiac
#

it's like in the middle of the road

viral totem
#

I see a lot in the community that high card builds go crazy or whatever in the early blinds.

heady narwhal
white zodiac
fickle mesa
#

not early on no

heady narwhal
#

they go crazy in the antes after you've already won

viral totem
nova mantle
#

its very easy to ignore high cards when pairs just offer double the scaling tbh

fickle mesa
#

unless u have lots of chips and mult already but even if u have like michel and blue or whatever you're still better off playing a flush until u level stuff up

fickle mesa
#

but yes your point stands

viral totem
#

Like maybe people are like "durrr lol low stakes so easy bro you need single whatever bro so easy bro haha"

nova mantle
#

unless im running something like card sharp and i already had many hc levels

white zodiac
fickle mesa
#

oh low stakes or low antes

#

low stakes are easily won by pairs

#

and high stakes are also won by pairs

balmy ridge
#

@white zodiac free

fickle mesa

all stakes are won by pairs

white zodiac

I'm on magic deck green stake right now

balmy ridge

Ah

balmy ridge
#

i'll just hold r this is too free it doesnt count

fickle mesa

plus early crystal ball means blue seals are more powerful

i have a soft spot for non common scaling jokers besides constellation though

constellation is uncommon

they just dont like it

Sooo I went for flush

dire sapphire
#

it scales too easily

balmy ridge

that is what i said

imo constellation should be 0.05x or 0.075x per planet

well not forced

I hate Bloodstone

fickle mesa

but highly highly highly encouraged to

i hope that whatever they do with blue stake makes it more plausible to not play pairs

no matter what mr spectre says

Should I use my fool on judgement or nah

balmy ridge

probably not

its powerful yeah but its sort of like a good pareidolia

re my pareidolia as a genre explanation from earlier

#

if i have a gold seal now its 6 extra dollars in some rounds

kindred valley
#

Dusk costs a lot of money to make worth

dire sapphire
#

update ideas:
space joker is now 1 in 3
hanging chad is now 3 retriggers, but an uncommon joker
baron is now 1.75x so its maybe more ok in gold stake
gold cards now give 2$
rebate now gives 10$, but only works on the first discard of the round

kindred valley
#

That's not necessarily overpowered but it's not really balanced either

cloud sinew
fickle mesa
#

i dont see how this is necessarily a bad thing

#

its centralizing yeah

kindred valley
#

Chad is wayyyyyy too versatile

fickle mesa
#

it makes it tough to ignore but i dont think thats bad

lyric shore
#

gold card nerf is crazy, chad buff is crazy

kindred valley
#

Chad works in literally any build and is so easy to make happen whenever it's common and cheap

dire sapphire
#

shpace jonkler

kindred valley
#

No matter what you're playing you can still get value out of gold seals

It's money gen

daring perch

chad is for five card hand builds

cloud sinew

first u need a gold seal

chad being good for glass is like

daring perch
kindred valley
#

Chad works for literally any hand type lol

cloud sinew

which was 1/3 for 2x

fickle mesa
#

yes factually it does secure the endgame

daring perch
nova mantle
#

too bad i aint taking it...

fickle mesa
#

sometimes

daring perch
#

generally i dont take like. lusty or somethign with runner

kindred valley
#

If I'm playing pairs or high card I still want chad for chips and enhancement retriggers

Even just with an empress that's +8 mult

daring perch
fickle mesa
kindred valley
#

Chad is like +20 chips earlygame if anything

fickle mesa
#

its a value generator

kindred valley
#

Chad does basically everything lol

fickle mesa
#

use it to retrigger your gold seals or lucky cards

kindred valley
#

It's super fun! But a little overtuned

opal delta
#

also chad obviously doesnt work on every build

fickle mesa
#

powerful yeah

opal delta
#

like on baron mime

fickle mesa
#

but to an extent that like i think is reasonable

opal delta
#

its just taking up a joker slot at that point

kindred valley
#

You are not doing baron mime in gold stake

cloud sinew
#

baron/mime is incredibly uncommon within a8 so thats not a great argument

opal delta
#

ow

kindred valley
#

I can't imagine a build that wouldn't benefit from chad because the instant you get lucky cards or gold seals you're profiting

#

Even tarot gen with 8 ball and such

opal delta
#

made a wrong argument and my body started to cramp up

fickle mesa
#

first u need to get those cards

dire sapphire
#

more update ideas:
8 ball is now a 1 in 3
hallucination is now a 1 in 3
spectral generators can now produce black hole/soul at the same rate they would normally appear at
abstract joker is now +4 mult per joker
mult cards are now +6 mult
blueprint/brainstorm can now only copy common/uncommon jokers
perkeo now creates 2 copies instead of 1

I got instant karma’d right there

I mean, those things just happen and you're likely to have a chad-able thing

In your deck

If you're playing pairs you can chad that bonus card you made in ante 2 and now you're practically covered for chips

i dont like hanging chad

you can totally have a deck w lucky cards that never proc 20

yes i know

dire sapphire
#

hm that gives me an idea for a challenge

kindred valley
#

I think uncommon chad isn't a great solution but it'd definitely work

#

That was my first thought but it's kinda sucky

cloud sinew
#

how would it "work"

#

all it does is make it appear less often, doesnt change how often you take it when it appears

kindred valley
#

If chad were uncommon you'd just barely see it and that's lame

lunar zealot
#

Making chad uncommon just gives it bbc synergy

fickle mesa
#

chad just fits as a common thematically

Photochad is fine as is

chad does fit as an uncommon

lunar zealot
#

and sure chad is almost always a must take

#

So is rebate

#

so is bus

cloud sinew
#

considering all other retriggers are uncommon

kindred valley
#

Imo there just needs to be more retrigger effects because there's like four not counting red seals

fickle mesa
#

commons are generally applicable while uncommons are more specialized but reward leaning into them

Hell no

There's five

idk u get one gold seal (hard to do) and now chad is a bit stronger than a golden joker

i dont see the point made here

I mean it's just a powerful combo, if you don't take it you're silly

cloud sinew

#

But then again im biased because i don't like photochad

#

Yeah thats right i fuckin said it

dire sapphire
#

i got some cool ideas and some REAL bad ideas

lunar zealot
#

i think photochad SUCKS

opal delta
#

idk

fickle mesa
#

yeah but then money has like diminishing returns and stuff

#

its not like rebate where it instanstly gets u a ton of money

cloud sinew
lunar zealot
#

r/strawmanarguments should be a thing

kindred valley
#

Probably is

lunar zealot
#

where we just make strawman arguments

dire sapphire
#

ideas i think are cool:
xMult ride the bus but it only scales on Aces

bad ideas:
the EVIL plant
any balance change ideas i have

fickle mesa
#

u need to build into chad so it then pays u back more but in a balanced way

cloud sinew
#

I enjoy making strawman arguments and stating them as such because that's not my actual argument, it's just fun to use them

fickle mesa
#

also in a 52 card deck

lunar zealot
#

Sis i love strawman arguments because i am a deeply flawed hypocritical person

dire sapphire
#

buff hanging chad

#

its too weak

cloud sinew
fickle mesa
#

ur probably not finding the gold seals every round

cloud sinew

and you dont need to

if its the jokers that are a problem then like

kindred valley
#

Luckies are easy to get, lots of money gen (also lucky cat to the moon)

Stones are easy to get, hard to draw, but that's 150 chips

Mult cards are extremely easy to get and that's +8 mult

Any editoned cards are rare but are super valuable with chad

Any on-score jokers like the suit based stones, business card, 8 ball, odd todd

fickle mesa
#

idk

#

its hard for me to break down but

#

the runs with chad never feel too different compared to the ones without

#

outside of photo obv

#

or golden ticket that one can be a little overtuned

kindred valley
#

I feel like if a joker has me taking rental perishables more than not it's pretty damn good

#

Chad just provides so much value

#

Pretty consistently

lunar zealot
#

i wonder how chad can be balanced

daring perch
#

real use for rentals

lunar zealot
cloud sinew
kindred valley
#

One trigger on the first two cards

fickle mesa
#

its good but is it good in a way unreplicable by other jokers

daring perch
#

chads fine as it is i think

#

maybe the multiplayer balancing

#

thats as far as id go though

kindred valley
#

I like multiplayer so much because it acts as normal on high card builds

lunar zealot
pale wolf
#

i would be only a little sad with chad changing

cloud sinew
#

i would be so happy if rebate got nerfed

fickle mesa
#

also i think photochad is special game design wise

daring perch
#

update ideas:
wheel now has a 0 in 4 chance to trigger and also always hits foil (so nothing changes really)

fickle mesa
#

its a very obvious combination

cloud sinew
#

it feels so miserable taking rebate for the 5th time it's appeared in a row

pale wolf
#

i think its fine as is but the mp nerf isnt that big of a deal outside of specifically glass and photochad

kindred valley
#

I think chad and rebate are really fun "overpowered cards", and I always lean more towards leaving the balance as-is in discussion

But I wouldn't mind some changes lol

daring perch
#

it feels very much of a "fuck you" to photochad

fickle mesa
kindred valley
#

If rebate were 3 dollars I'd be fine with that

daring perch
fickle mesa
#

which is good! u want the player to find something and have that "woah holy shit" moment

kindred valley
#

Honestly, 4 dollars would make it still feel powerful and fun

fickle mesa
#

and since its common thatll probably be it

opal delta
pale wolf
#

rebate is nutty and I enjoy using it but yes it is way big

cloud sinew
# daring perch it used to be

and that was with current blue stake and old gold stake.
reworked blue stake and not old gold stake would make $5 stupidly broken and $4 rebate still overtuned

kindred valley
#

The only other option is to buff jokers like to do list

pale wolf
#

i hope it's $4 with 3 discards

kindred valley
#

It's a bad option

pale wolf
#

🙂

daring perch
kindred valley
#

To do list is good

cloud sinew
#

TDL is fine because econ doesnt need to be consistent

kindred valley
#

If strush was a hidden hand to do list would be a banger

lunar zealot
daring perch
#

my main issue with to do list is that i keep fucking seeing it like. ante 1 on strush

fickle mesa
#

the best option is to upgrade other econ jokers and increase the price of everything

pale wolf
#

i hate eternal to do list tho

daring perch
#

i aint picking that shit up i need immediate money

lunar zealot
#

delete the sub people are just gonna use that for politics

fickle mesa
#

yes i was joking lol

daring perch

what if bloodstone was x4 and 1 in 10

Why does trading card give money

#

Why is it even econ

daring perch
fickle mesa
kindred valley
#

Trading card is one of the most powerful cards in the game payout or not

daring perch
#

also because like. thats one discard for half a hanged man

fickle mesa
#

it doesnt need to but 3 dollars is not a lot anyways

daring perch
#

its GOOD but like one discard is a lot

crystal field
daring perch
#

mainly it makes rental trading worth

kindred valley
#

Trading card is always worth no matter what stickers

crystal field
#

true

unreal iron
#

just make a rare that gives a guaranteed hanged man

fickle mesa
#

trading card is so good but i question its worth all the time

#

specifically in the endgame

crystal field
#

make a joker that deletes every card in uour deck

cloud sinew
daring perch
lunar zealot
fickle mesa
#

ill see like doc keep deleting cards but like

kindred valley

Imo

fickle mesa
#

at a point its better to just

discard

#

normally

I don't want to die in Ante 10 because my flush five build has a slot full of nothing

Trading card won't get you to the point of seeing your whole deck by itself

fickle mesa
#

okay but endless isnt real

kindred valley
#

You need some immolates or something

daring perch
opal delta
crystal field
#

if youre going for just ante 8 trading card too late isnt worth

fickle mesa
#

its an extra side mode

cloud sinew
#

cutting almost half your deck allows for some stupid stuff

daring perch
unreal iron
crystal field
#

but if you care at all abt endless its still worth id say

kindred valley
cloud sinew

ante 8 is what the actual game is

Roguelike design kind of thrives off of things not directly relating to each other

daring perch

#

You want emergent gameplay

i think more specific stuff can still lean into that

#

Like. Don't make Exodia

crystal field

#

Like marble joker simply puts the stone cards into your deck instead of giving you infinite towers

technically there are a couple explicit synergies

why dont they count again

kindred valley

They're both the same joker just twice

daring perch
fickle mesa
#

michel and cavendish are the same joker now?

how is gros micharl and cavendish the same joker

You can't have both ever

With showman?

theyre both just never in the pool

ankh or invis shenanigans

or showman

cloud sinew
daring perch
kindred valley
#

I see

daring perch
#

showman works though

lunar zealot
cloud sinew
#

showman doesnt add gros michel back into the pool once it's gone extinct

crystal field
#

is that incorrect

cloud sinew
lunar zealot
#

Once gros michel dies all instances of gros michel in the shop pool become cavendish

kindred valley
#

Ok but they're explicitly supposed to be "the same"
And they don't work off of each other

i must have jut gotten very unlucky that one time i had 2 bananas

Cavendish isn't like "3x mult for every expired gros michael" because that's stupid

daring perch
#

how in the hell are those the same

fickle mesa

cavendish is "only appears if gros michel has expired"
