[rough prairie]

Heh, Eternal Negative Misprint. Guess there's just now downsides

[wintry ice]

amelia and yutjiko gif

[dusk elk]

you know, that makes a lot more sense

[fading cobalt]

Endless moment

[lunar zealot]

no?

[dusk elk]

oh

[lunar zealot]

Grabber gives +1 hand yes?

hiero gives -1 hand

It's the same operation

[dusk elk]

but it says every round

[lunar zealot]

it does not subtract per round because that means you die in 4 rounds

[dusk elk]

so I assume you slowly lose hands every round, losing more and more

[lunar zealot]

and that's really stupid

[dusk elk]

-1 hand per round sounds like every round, the amount of hands you have gets subtracted by 1

[lunar zealot]

And corollarily grabber does not make you literally invincible

[red thistle]

Oh wait i thought you acknowledged that you're wrong.

[fading cobalt]

It means it won't just be for one round and then you get your hand back

[lunar zealot]

Localthunk found that that was the only real way to word jt

[red thistle]

TITLE CARD.

[lunar zealot]

+1 hand makes people think it's temporary

[dusk elk]

could've just said "-1 hand"

[lunar zealot]

+1 hand per round makes people think it's successive

So if you have any other suggestions

[dusk elk]

this sounds like you slowly build up to infinite hands

[wintry ice]

it's true though

[lunar zealot]

Shut up vic

[fading cobalt]

-1 hand (effective permanently)

[hasty harness]

obviously its not -1 hand every round

[red thistle]

The wording on the vouchers isn't the best.

[lunar zealot]

Oops

[dusk elk]

well yeah I assumed it was just a very situational voucher

because at the same time

I thought it meant -1 ante from the game

so its HORRIBLE downside for a pretty good upside

[red thistle]

That's like never useful lol.

[dusk elk]

-1 ante permanently sounded like really good

cuz like, 7 instead of 8 antes

[lunar zealot]

Hiero is a situational voucher

[dusk elk]

but its not like that

[lunar zealot]

-1 ante sets your ante to 1 less than originally

[dusk elk]

yeah ik now

[lunar zealot]

it gives you more time

[fading cobalt]

-1 ante is still amazing

[tranquil cargo]

it lets you replay the last ante, so you have more time to make money and find scoring

[fading cobalt]

Still something I rarely take tho

[red thistle]

But you effectively lose 25% of your scoring.

[lunar zealot]

Yes

but -1 hand makes it situational

[fading cobalt]

Assuming you need to use 4 hands to win

[red thistle]

Actually that's not a good way to put it.

[fading cobalt]

Yeah

[lunar zealot]

I would definitely use hieroglyph should my scoring jokers be

[livid ridge]

rigged? oh you better believe it

[lunar zealot]

red card hologram

[wintry ice]

well this is gonna be crazy

[hasty harness]

guys i should ankh right

😈

[tranquil cargo]

it also unlocks petroglyph, which gives you another -1 ante but this time it only costs a discard

[lunar zealot]

I would almost never use hieroglyph should be scoring jokers be bus obelisk

[red thistle]

4 hands just let you do extremely efficient plays.

[fading cobalt]

#⚙・modding-general

[red thistle]

Compared to 3.

[lunar zealot]

So it's situational

[lunar zealot]

Fuck you zebra

Blue role bitch

[pale wolf]

ily

[livid ridge]

What’s funny is that I’ve been posted crypitd stuff for a bit and no one has pointed me to the channel until just now

[lunar zealot]

ilyt

But fuck you

[proper flame]

Who told me green joker was good

[livid ridge]

Then again I totally forgot about the mod channel

[fading cobalt]

Cuz most people dont care lmao

[wintry ice]

i ended up dying because i forgot i had shortcut

[lunar zealot]

Many people

[wintry ice]

i am so good at this game

[tranquil cargo]

green joker is good

[proper flame]

a whole 30 mult

[red thistle]

Zebra was cooking in the kitchen. That's why he's blue.

[proper flame]

and youre punished for discarding

we LOVE grimbo

[fading cobalt]

C++2 and naneinf btw

[hasty harness]

green joker is amazing

[lunar zealot]

Girl

the other day

[tawny bough]

hmmmm

[lunar zealot]

I got fucking needled

[wintry ice]

goes to show that c++ and naneinf don't mean anything

[lunar zealot]

THERE WAS A POPCORN IN THE SHOP

AND I GOT NEEDLED

[red thistle]

C++ and naneinf and 220h btw.

[wintry ice]

hey that happened to me once

[hasty harness]

im grimboing it so hard rn

[fading cobalt]

Groker is better than rtb

[lunar zealot]

FUUUUUUUUU

[lunar zealot]

Nah

[red thistle]

Actually this one's funnier.

[fading cobalt]

Yeah

[wintry ice]

girlfailiure besties!!!

[lunar zealot]

discards have more value than face cards

purple seal rebate

[red thistle]

No.

[proper flame]

I had a polychrome grimbo and he was doing NOTHING except being a glorified steel card for me

[lunar zealot]

GIRLFAILURE BESTIES!!!

[proper flame]

I even farmed mult

[wintry ice]

do i take ramen

[proper flame]

got him to like 30 and died

[fading cobalt]

Except if you discard once you lose -1 mult. If you accidentally play a face card you get reset back to 0

[red thistle]

Don't see why not.

[lunar zealot]

You might win too fast ? actually no you need it for a2

[lunar zealot]

So just don't play face cards

[wintry ice]

i'm taking living more seriously than square

[lunar zealot]

you have 12 face cards and 40 numbers cards

And it's not play face cards

[wintry ice]

grimbo is a resource management check while bus is just an attention check

[lunar zealot]

it's play and score face cards

[wintry ice]

the most you miss out on is midas

[proper flame]

how make grimbo good though

[lunar zealot]

And specifically glass joker and canio with glass faces

[wintry ice]

because if you get bus early on you don't care about face card synergies in the first place

[wintry ice]

not discarding unless you have a reason to

[fading cobalt]

Maybe they're tied then

[proper flame]

I used my hands as discards whenever possible and he just scaled so slowly

[fading cobalt]

Bus scales just as slowly bro 😭

[wintry ice]

uh yeah that sure helps me a lot

do i wait to take grabber

[proper flame]

i dont use bus ever man it sucks too

[fading cobalt]

Oh so you're just bad

[lunar zealot]

Red card > pants > bus > grimbo > nova

[wintry ice]

is +4 mult per round slow

[fading cobalt]

I would put pants above red card

And grimbo above bus

[lunar zealot]

They're equal

[wintry ice]

compare that to every other scaling joker that's not red card or pants

[proper flame]

No, it is a fine early game joker (Still costs you a lot of money) but the issue is that it falls off a cliff at some point

[lunar zealot]

pants is better when money is scarce

[wintry ice]

you'll see that it's about the same or better than most of them

[lunar zealot]

and red card does basically everything

[fading cobalt]

Yeahh good point

[proper flame]

I just dont like trading money (hands) for such a small amount of +mult tbh

[lunar zealot]

I prefer red card

[wintry ice]

earlygame joker
looks inside
scaling

[proper flame]

would rather just buy planets

[lunar zealot]

Actually i like pants because bbc

[fading cobalt]

But you can gain more hands to scale pants even more. You can't have more than 2 booster packs per round

[lunar zealot]

Mercury is 3 dollars for +1 mult

[wintry ice]

and if you don't draw the hand you're stacking planets on?

[lunar zealot]

Red card at maximum gains +18 per ante

that's more than enough

[proper flame]

Yes and so I dont take it very often as a result

[lunar zealot]

Especially considering you don't have to skip every pack

red card just makes every single pack have value

[fading cobalt]

And two pair at maximum gains 42 per ante

[lunar zealot]

and that's good enough utility to put it at the same level as pants

Its high mult scaling notwithstanding

[alpine basalt]

lmao tabbing back into discord and this is the first message I read and I forgot I was in the balatro discord for a moment

[wintry ice]

will you conveniently ignore that planet cards don't do anything if you don't draw the planet that you're using

[fading cobalt]

I don't know if its possible to use 7 hands before beating the boss tho

[lunar zealot]

Literally what the fuck

it gains +24 per ante

[wintry ice]

because the main selling point of scaling mult joker is that they are always active

[red thistle]

Damn kami, raw? Just like that?

[fiery nymph]

users: ☹️

[fading cobalt]

7 hands on blue deck with nacho tongue. If you use all hands for two pairs thats 14 mult. 14x3 is 42

[proper flame]

my favorite voucher probably

[lunar zealot]

That's

[fiery nymph]

its peak

[lunar zealot]

????

?????

[wintry ice]

i mean telescope primarily benefits scaling mult joker runs

[fading cobalt]

Average is probably 24 tho

[proper flame]

i like planets

[lunar zealot]

what kind of strawman argument is that

[fading cobalt]

Or well no

[alpine basalt]

i'd always take pants over red card

pants cost me less money

[fading cobalt]

Strawman argument? Its a theoretical maximum for pants lol

[lunar zealot]

Technically the limit for pants per ante is naneinf if you keep getting natural negative burglars

[kind cloud]

if you can play 7 two pairs every blind you have much better things to do with a deck that fixed

[tranquil cargo]

you forgot hieroglyph and petroglyph

[fiery nymph]

yea ik just wanted to bring that up

[lunar zealot]

Be realistic

[proper flame]

red card doesnt really cost money after the original purchase, no? You should be opening packs anyways

[wintry ice]

red card doesn't cost money because you always take booster packs whenever you can

[fading cobalt]

Well realistic is 24

[lunar zealot]

pants is +24 mult per ante assuming 4 hands like 90% of scenarios

[alpine basalt]

yeah but I should also be using whats in said packs

[vocal rose]

yep

[shell dagger]

Duo and banner stickers

[fading cobalt]

I chose the most rational perfect scenario and get flamed for it 🫩✌️

[hasty harness]

most the time u dont NEED whats in the packs

[alpine basalt]

I'm saying i'd take pants over red card because then I can take and use whats in the packs

[lunar zealot]

blue deck nacho tong is not realistic mang

[proper flame]

Usually not actually

Most spectral packs dont help you
Many tarot packs dont
Most standard packs dont help if youre trying to trim down your deck
like 75% of buffoon packs have nothing but trash in them

[fading cobalt]

Says who?

[lunar zealot]

World/star/tower go

[wintry ice]

+3 mult is better than most results

[lunar zealot]

Neptune/jupiter/mars go

Aura/ectoplasm go

[fading cobalt]

Thats extremely realistic like wtf

[lunar zealot]

Rental splash/perishable throwback go

Ace of clubs/red seal 6 of hearts/stone card go

[fiery nymph]

random bullshit that stops a random niche from happening go

[proper flame]

tower isnt that bad on certain runs

[wintry ice]

i guess i sell everything i can for riff raff

[hasty harness]

i mean tower isnt really detrimental it helps pairs and high card especially a lot early on

[fading cobalt]

I did this once and died lol

[hasty harness]

if u cant find chips

[fading cobalt]

But in your case its probably better

[proper flame]

like throwing in a stone card on a 2 pair, pair, etc. just gives you more score for zero loss to you except the opportunity cost of not discarding it for something else

[fading cobalt]

How is tower dentrimental??

[wintry ice]

half joker is fine i guess

[alpine basalt]

I mean in fairness i'm not opening most standard packs unless i'm using red card

[hasty harness]

thats what im saying im tired of tower slander

🙏

[lunar zealot]

You should

blue and purple seals are grotesque

[lunar zealot]

Chat do i send the image

[alpine basalt]

yeah they are, but oftentimes its a choice between a standard or better eco/other pack, so they end up unused

[red thistle]

What image.

[wintry ice]

mayve

[potent tree]

do it

[alpine basalt]

yep

[fading cobalt]

Holy I actually misread that 😭🙏

[wintry ice]

i think i'll switch to mostly vanilla to do my streaks

[fading cobalt]

Its 1am okay 🥲

[red thistle]

Go to sleep kiddo.

[hasty harness]

i always take standards if i can afford

[fading cobalt]

Nopers

[hasty harness]

purple/blue is so good

[red thistle]

Let the real adults play balala.

[hasty harness]

lol its all g

[slate lance]

Bus over green is insane, unless ur on abandoned deck

[fading cobalt]

I'm not tired my bodies just a liar

[lunar zealot]

Bus is better

[proper flame]

gold seal isnt terrible either. turn one of your hands into 3 dollars instead of 1

[slate lance]

How is bus in any way better

[alpine basalt]

I personally would take tarot/spectral over standard any day, celestial depends on whether I have tele or not

[fading cobalt]

Does vampire have a requirement to appear in shop?

[manic talon]

Bus lets you discard cards

[hasty harness]

blue seals just so goated tho

[alpine basalt]

uhhhhhhh discards????

[royal ore]

it allows stone joker to appear over a better uncommon joker like blackboard or hologram or constellation

[hasty harness]

i love my blue seals

[red thistle]

Doesn't lock you out of discarding.

[alpine basalt]

hence why celials depend on whether or not I have tele

[wintry ice]

this is the hardest decision ever

[potent tree]

vagabond

[slate lance]

But bus locks u out of face cards which have a lot of bonuses to being used

[alpine basalt]

trading card

[royal ore]

VAGABOND

[fiery nymph]

i like trading here more than vaga

[proper flame]

Give me life
Give me fire
Give me my discards
Or I retire

[fiery nymph]

nvm

[red thistle]

You don't need them to win.

[wintry ice]

discards are better than face card synergies if you already have a main source of scoring

[fiery nymph]

trading is rental

wait it pays itself

[fiery nymph]

hmmmm

[alpine basalt]

if vaga wasnt eternal, vaga but I wouldn't want the vagabond forever

[hasty harness]

whole point of yellow deck is the early interest ik its a joke but theres ppl that would actually take vaga here even as an eternal

[wintry ice]

deck that starts with a lot of money
looks inside
vagabond

[lunar zealot]

Discards have better practical value than face cards

[red thistle]

In most situations bus is straight up better than groker.

[lunar zealot]

rebate and purple seals for one

And even things like faceless and trading card

[alpine basalt]

grimbo is worse than bus in most scenarios

[lunar zealot]

face cards have like

midas

[fiery nymph]

yeah

[slate lance]

Same as discards

[lunar zealot]

canio when they're specifically glass

[red thistle]

That's insane to say.

[lunar zealot]

glass joker when they're glass

[wintry ice]

also photochad, trib and i guess smiley if you don't have a main source of scoring

[potent tree]

me when rental michel goes extinct on first round

[red thistle]

Gloker doesn't even rely on faces. 😭

[alpine basalt]

plus with rtb, there isnt a boss blind that stops it from scaling

[lunar zealot]

when they're GLASS bitch

[slate lance]

Oh so ig youve never had a run where u had to supress discards

[lunar zealot]

I have lost more runs than you've played

[red thistle]

Supress discards..?

[wintry ice]

what?

[lunar zealot]

green joker is undoubtedly good

it's just that bus is better

[slate lance]

Ok?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[red thistle]

Why count glass joker when it works with regular cards.

[fiery nymph]

i think bus is better than groker

[lunar zealot]

WHEN THE FACE CARDS ARE GLASS

CAUSE THEN YOU CAN'T SCORE THEM AND FORCE THEM TO BREAK

[red thistle]

That's such a bad argument.

[shell dagger]

it’s in the price

[alpine basalt]

even if you have delayed grat, bus is better (I assume thats what you mean by suppressing discards).

[lunar zealot]

EXACTLY THAT'S MY POINT

[serene forge]

discards are better than face cards

[red thistle]

Okay fine.

[shell dagger]

bus is $6 you’d expect it to be better than the $4 green (this pattern is not consistent)

[brave fox]

I'm taking shots rn for every discard I use 🥲

[alpine basalt]

plastered by ante 2

[serene forge]

the nefarious $7 bloodstone

the nefarious $8 baron

[shell dagger]

the devious $6 fortune teller

[wintry ice]

discards are more valuable for winning than face cards are

that's the whole point we're making

[alpine basalt]

wdym, baron is the best joker ever it wins every run it touches you clearly know nothing about balatro smh

[serene forge]

the abominable $8 dna

[lunar zealot]

The nefarious 10 dollar brainsto

that's a combo

the whimsical 1/1500 chicot

[brave fox]

I already took 3 trying to one shot the small blind

[potent tree]

do i sell everything but runner and ankh

[proper flame]

The humble $2 Joker™

[red thistle]

If you want to lose yea.

[serene forge]

the dastardly $1 credit card

[wintry ice]

oh this is pretty good for this

[alpine basalt]

you'll have alcohol poisoning long before you even got close to finishing a run

[serene forge]

no

[wintry ice]

awesome

[serene forge]

its ante 5 lol

[wintry ice]

none of my aces got touched

nice

[hasty harness]

balatro but anytime a joker shows up take a shot

[manic talon]

Honestly i would say groker is better on checkered too, but usually bus clears

[lunar zealot]

Again

[frozen stream]

First ever unseeded nan inf

[wintry ice]

nevermind i do not care about aces anymore

[alpine basalt]

not enough. every card you see on screen

[hasty harness]

[lunar zealot]

How the fuck am i parasocial

[red thistle]

I don't drink alcohol, so choco milk i guess.

Bread tastes better than key.

idk i think i prefer key

key tastes good

[proper flame]

wow 2 chip scaling jokers i wonder which one i should take in shop 1

[terse dock]

[fiery nymph]

a genius is trapped in a cage and chooses the bread over the key

i'm on a runner run rn

[hasty harness]

square go brrrr

[manic talon]

Runner

[red thistle]

Unironically i would 100% go square here.

[proper flame]

Runner is THE best straights based chips joker in the game

[hasty harness]

*the only straight based chips joker

[terse dock]

best of two?

[red thistle]

All 2 of them.

[terse dock]

wow

[red thistle]

LMFAOOOO.

[hasty harness]

whats the other one

[fading cobalt]

Stuntman killed me

[hasty harness]

[terse dock]

the common trash one

[red thistle]

Page 1.

[proper flame]

I think theres just 2

[hasty harness]

ohhhh

[terse dock]

+100 chips

[hasty harness]

i forgor abt that one

lol

[tranquil cargo]

did you all forget seance?

[hasty harness]

ts is NOT chips based

[terse dock]

did you read

[lunar zealot]

Baron is the best joker that gives x1.5 mult for each king held in hand in the game

[sand sky]

The mobile game still has the bug where new stakes don’t unlock after you win… smh

[red thistle]

That's not even chips nor straights.

[tranquil cargo]

oh I thought they just said best straights joker

[red thistle]

What the fuck.

[serene forge]

seance is a chip joker because every time it procs it adds +4 chips to bull

[terse dock]

naw vagabond is

[fading cobalt]

It is straights lmao

[terse dock]

just chariot your kings

[serene forge]

no its not

[red thistle]

Strushes.

[tranquil cargo]

you need a straight to have a straight flush

[serene forge]

you need a high card to play a flush five

[fiery nymph]

what if there was a joker that created steel cards the way midas does 🙀

[fading cobalt]

"flush five isnt a flush its a 5oak!"

[fiery nymph]

would that be too broken

[terse dock]

you need two pairs to play 4oak

[serene forge]

no, flush five is a flush five

[proper flame]

never taking square joker again

[hasty harness]

probably way 2 broken

[fading cobalt]

Well it would have insane synergy with steel joker

[serene forge]

stop making strawmen

[proper flame]

WORST mistake of my life

[serene forge]

skill issue

[hasty harness]

probably scaled it wrong

[serene forge]

it was abandoned deck wasnt it

[tranquil cargo]

runner was probably better, but the game over is unlikely to have been caused by that

[serene forge]

i think i would've runner'd there

but

[lunar zealot]

Baron is primary and dogshit

[serene forge]

square is good too

[proper flame]

I wouldve too but i was told square joker

[serene forge]

Add Text

[fiery nymph]

nah yorick lowk needs to be more Add Text

[proper flame]

just give me castle tbh

[terse dock]

you can only play it as a secondary in gold stake

[lunar zealot]

True...

[ornate stirrup]

The RNG in this game can be a real dick sometimes

[fading cobalt]

Damn it

[lunar zealot]

[lunar zealot]

[hybrid tendon]

add text

[hasty harness]

idol not at the top opinion invalidated

[serene forge]

my gf would know

[fading cobalt]

Spamming it

[lunar zealot]

[hybrid tendon]

yeah....

[lunar zealot]

But how can i not

[proper flame]

I love castle because I get rewarded for doing something i do anyways (Use all my discards)

[lunar zealot]

Everything is true

[hybrid tendon]

this game fucking hates me

[lunar zealot]

[terse dock]

i wish somebody loved me

[lunar zealot]

[manic talon]

Idol cannot top to save his life

[lunar zealot]

[red thistle]

Do we even know what strawman means at this point.

[terse dock]

idol is literally hard wood

[hasty harness]

idol acts weak because hes the strongest 🥶

[lunar zealot]

CAN EVERYONE STOP SAYING TRUE THINGS

[serene forge]

dojimaFalse

[proper flame]

he returns

[tranquil oyster]

baron isn't good, but it's not that bad either. deckfixing to like 8 kings can be done in an ante.

[ornate stirrup]

Like, I took about a month long break, came back and had a really nice run going, then Violet Vessel just took a shit on my face

[tranquil cargo]

omg you got juggler

[red thistle]

You know what you have to do.

[proper flame]

i LOVE juggler he does SO MUCH in an unaltered abandoned deck

[hasty harness]

having 8 kings =/ drawing said kings or having the levels necessary to making baron work

[fading cobalt]

I got him aswell

You could've said soul card just saying

It would've summoned a soul card trust 😒

[woven spire]

balala is a feeling

[serene forge]

FUCK BLOODSTONE

[fading cobalt]

Is this Amelia?

[red thistle]

Why did you take it.

[woven spire]

so relatable

[hasty harness]

ts like the 4th time today

[tranquil oyster]

if you're running pair/high card, it's not like you need the discards to get your hands. (ofc baron is not usable outside of that context)

[tranquil cargo]

no that was 30 minutes ago

[ornate stirrup]

I see I'm not the only one getting screwed tonight

[woven spire]

we all say “FUCK BLOODSTONE”

[fiery nymph]

i think its time to hate bloodstone

[serene forge]

this run was months ago actually

i think

[proper flame]

i HATE square joker

NEVER doing it AGAIN

[hasty harness]

im saying the deck fixing isnt the only issue actually having levels in high card/pair to make baron good is an issue as well

[fading cobalt]

Bloodstone rn

[serene forge]

oh noooo you dont get to scale for 1 round

[potent tree]

close call.

[tranquil cargo]

oh no, the psychic has introduced a mild inconvenience

[lunar zealot]

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[hasty harness]

sure if ur already playing pairs or hc then wtv

[lunar zealot]

LLLLLLLLL

LLLLLLLLLLL

[hasty harness]

but u prob have better options by the time a baron shows up

[potent tree]

damn toxic kami

[fading cobalt]

I'm chipsmaxxing it

[lunar zealot]

people love when im toxic cuz im hot

[red thistle]

She's always been toxic.

[hazy agate]

man cant handle being unable to activate square joker once, gets highly frustrated. What happens next will shock you

[lunar zealot]

with a taste of your lips im on a ride

[proper flame]

lowk though this might be the single best initial draw ive ever gotten

[hasty harness]

take lusty joker so u can play a flush of hearts to live to be safe

[proper flame]

a free 3oak and straight flush

[lunar zealot]

you're toxic im slippin under

with a taste of a poison paradise

[fading cobalt]

No its eternal

I don't need it

[serene forge]

girl you have a girlfriend

[red thistle]

My ass thought minos was wearing bras.

[hasty harness]

oh didnt see the eternal tag

my bad

[lunar zealot]

IM SINGING

[serene forge]

eternal jonklers are fine

[hazy agate]

you stupid

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[hazy agate]

me too ngl

[proper flame]

never taking square joker again, but for real this time

im BAD at it

[hasty harness]

this is a skill issue vro

💔

[tranquil cargo]

stop blaming square joker for a lack of mult

[tranquil oyster]

yeah, it's more of a late game niche tech, once you gained enough planets through seals / packs / burnt / space. like i said, it's not a good joker, but it's usable in certain contexts. (unlike stuff like seance or idol)

[hazy agate]

ill KEEP taking square joker‼️

[fiery nymph]

he got psychic after he picked it 💀

[hasty harness]

see this makes sense but by the time its actually good u probably have some other form of x mult

[hasty harness]

💔

[fading cobalt]

I'll win this run for you vro 🥹✌️

[proper flame]

i found 0(zero) mult jokers in the first 4 shops and then i died

[hazy agate]

youre not square joker pilled enough

[hasty harness]

peak setup

[red thistle]

Dude couldn't string 2 flushes.

[slate lance]

What do yall think, campfire for baseball?

[proper flame]

i got a straight flush psychic didnt even kill me

[fiery nymph]

wait it was ante 1? 💀

[fading cobalt]

I need a trousers and we're cooking

[grave magnet]

yeah, i fucked up somewhere...there's no way i'm winning this.

[hasty harness]

why do u need trousers if u have rtb already

[tranquil oyster]

maybe on your version of the game! mine is hardcoded to continously offer superposition/8-ball in ante 7 shops.

[fading cobalt]

You can never have too much synergy

[hasty harness]

lol

[proper flame]

YOURE FUCKING KIDDING ME

FIRST SHOP 3 RUNS IN A ROW

HAHAHA

[hazy agate]

is this fr

[hasty harness]

as they say 3rd times the charm

[devout vault]

if i were to explain balatro to someone whos never heard of it, what would i say?

[hasty harness]

nope!

[red thistle]

It's a sign.

[proper flame]

Poker but cool

[tranquil cargo]

poker scoring roguelike

[devout vault]

"Kinda like poker but also nothing like piker

[hazy agate]

poker with magical fairy dust

[hasty harness]

poker is cool though

[fiery nymph]

you better pick it

[tranquil oyster]

no, but it certainly feels like it.

[fiery nymph]

third times the charm

[tranquil cargo]

poker is actually based on balatro

[proper flame]

how should i be using square joker btw

[hasty harness]

play 1 card to scale it faster

[proper flame]

ive been using him as my discards to get scaling

[manic talon]

Poker but minus the debt

[red thistle]

What you would see when snorting 10b pounds of crack.

[fiery nymph]

two pairs

trust

[proper flame]

well yeah

but ive been doing that and getting NO luck because i havent money

[hazy agate]

yeah that makes sense yes

[fiery nymph]

so just keep playing 2 pairs and playing towards it and scale

[tranquil oyster]

use pair or high card + add non scoring cards to hit 4.
two pairs can be done but imo it's a bit risky without spare trousers, plus you can't run "no discard" jokers like green

[fading cobalt]

The eye almost killed me

[hazy agate]

two pairs or 2 pairs

[tranquil cargo]

you're in ante 1 with no mult, so you still need a flush or 2 to win

[proper flame]

We're so back

[hasty harness]

yup i would play 4 cards and with my last hand play a flush/str8

[proper flame]

such SYNERGY...

[hasty harness]

this better have been a judgement

[proper flame]

wraith always knows whats best

[hasty harness]

😭

[hazy agate]

why did you take that

[hasty harness]

okay

[hazy agate]

bruh

[hasty harness]

why are we wraithing

💔

[proper flame]

i had 1 dollar

[fading cobalt]

Square joker is gonna harass your runs till you win with him 😭

[hazy agate]

no money💔

[proper flame]

this is shop 2 bro

[hasty harness]

but u bought the wraith/pack right?

why not just save the interest

[hazy agate]

very good question actually

[proper flame]

because i hate banks and will not profit off of the existing monetary system

i live in the moment

[grave magnet]

Hey so, what do i get for the achievement of throwing out a royal flush?

[hazy agate]

brainstorm

[tranquil cargo]

brainstorm unlocks

[hasty harness]

i mean ig u could say they went for trance/immolate and it woulda been worth

but still

🤫

[grave magnet]

how good is brainstorm??

[tranquil cargo]

incredibly good

[hasty harness]

copy joker

[hazy agate]

one of the best jokers

[hasty harness]

pretty good

[fading cobalt]

Jimbo PokerHand

[hasty harness]

idol > brainstorm tho

^

[tranquil oyster]

top 5 joker, arguably top 2

[fading cobalt]

I hope Jimbo curses your runs

[manic talon]

Useless, literally does nothing by itself

[grave magnet]

then i guess i'm unlocking it right now.

[hasty harness]

anytime i get idol i win trust

[hazy agate]

uh you cant discard

[hasty harness]

not fake

!

[grave magnet]

fuck...

[fading cobalt]

Cap

[hasty harness]

if u have painted deck

do it on painted deck

[manic talon]

Checkered deck

[hasty harness]

cuz + handsize makes it easier to draw

[grave magnet]

no i dont got painted deck

[hazy agate]

checkered?

[grave magnet]

how do i get it

[tranquil oyster]

easier way is to just use a suit changing tarot card on a regular straight

[fading cobalt]

Is it just convenient that rebate wont pick a new rank other than 7

[hazy agate]

7 is da lucky number

remember 777

its good fortune you hould be glad

[hybrid tendon]

7777777

luckiest number

[grave magnet]

four of a kind of 7 o' clubs

[manic talon]

Win green stake
Do it on checkered instead, you only need to beat black deck on white stake and it is easier to do it there

[proper flame]

Ok I found my +mult. Will pivot from the order soon™

[grave magnet]

gotcha. ty.

Ante 1 Madness. (no special effects besides base joker effects tho)

[hazy agate]

why do you hate one of the best legendaries

[manic talon]

Cuz it sucks

[hazy agate]

bad idea

[hazy agate]

why

[grave magnet]

why bad idea?

[tranquil cargo]

it's good if this is black stake or higher

[manic talon]

I mean its fine, madness can just solo white stake if you have planet levels

[lunar zealot]

Bias

I hate photochad

for the same reason

[hazy agate]

the stake is white

no eternals

[manic talon]

Who cares

Its still 1X per ante

[proper flame]

Square joker WILL remain on this team

[lunar zealot]

Crimson shart

Violet bessel

[potent tree]

let's see how this goes

[hazy agate]

bit inconvenient to ever get any + mult going with madness

[lunar zealot]

Saturn

[manic talon]

Crimson shart doesnt do anything against madness and 4 random jorkers

[lunar zealot]

What if disabled 4 times in a row

[hazy agate]

jorkers...

[potent tree]

now this is a tough decision

[grave magnet]

that was the plan try getting the voucher that gives me my highest playing hand in celestial packs then go for several wild tarot cards aswell as steel cards.

[manic talon]

I did say planets, amd the other choice is an ante 1 seltzer, and theyre on magic so they can have 3 levels for basically free to jumpstart

[hazy agate]

yeah fair enough

[proper flame]

never taking square joker again

[hazy agate]

TAKE SQUARE JOKER AGAIN‼️

[proper flame]

WASTED canio

COMMON occurence tbh

[manic talon]

Matador is basically an immolate which gives you money to reroll for blueprint again

[hazy agate]

genius thinking

[potent tree]

boss was psychic anyway

[proper flame]

little known fact but drawing canio removes all hung men from the game

[unborn cliff]

is it ever the 30 dollar death

[errant brook]

Well this finally happened

[manic talon]

Thats like free 24 dollers

[hazy agate]

this is actually a part of the 1.0.1 update!

[hybrid tendon]

true

[hazy agate]

dollers...

2 quid

[manic talon]

You dont need to repeat the funny words

[hazy agate]

dollers

[unborn cliff]

dollers

[hazy agate]

photoing my hanging chad rn

[scarlet hare]

I GOT YORICK ON MY FIRST SOUL CARD POGGGG

[hazy agate]

vayn would like a Word with you for no reason

[fading cobalt]

5 gold stickers.... GONE reduced to atoms

Squimbo was massive too

Like 300 chips

[hazy agate]

FUCK

[proper flame]

shoutout mystic summit, gotta be my favorite early game joker that gets sold in ante 4

[fading cobalt]

I didn't even find glow up bro its the last voucher I need

And I got gone in ante 2

[hazy agate]

that title belongs to abstract joker

[proper flame]

No. I don't sell abstract joker

[fading cobalt]

Mystic summit enjoyers when they forget to discard

[proper flame]

I have won as many runs with him as anyone

[fervent wolf]

Are we getting to 39 chat

[fading cobalt]

White stake warrior

[proper flame]

red*

but yes

[fading cobalt]

Deckmaxxing at its finest

[proper flame]

I play low antes because i like to WIN and i cant do that in high stakes because im BAD

[ornate stirrup]

Holy fuckballs dude

[hazy agate]

should i say get gud or do you know that already?

[fading cobalt]

Another roffle enjoyer left behind

[ornate stirrup]

Ante 29?!

[fervent wolf]

Yes

[fading cobalt]

Fumbling this run is sending me back to red dead

Fuck this

[proper flame]

Im well aware

[fading cobalt]

I didn't even get to find glow up for completionist

[proper flame]

I just know how to get the most out of like 20 different jokers and if i dont get at least 3 i probably lose

and thats on white stakes scaling

[ornate stirrup]

I might be good at this game... in 5 years

[fading cobalt]

The joke is that people who enioy roffle are stuck in white stake cuz they use his stupid silly runs as advice for how to play

Or they just prefer to have fun than get good which is fine

[hazy agate]

this post is confirmed by certified balatro patriots🔥

[hazy agate]

let them do whatever the fuck they want youre not one to tell them what to do

[ornate stirrup]

26 hours in and countless failed attempts at black deck. I'm trying to get a win with each deck before playing the next in line, I'm OCD that way

[fading cobalt]

I literally said if you wanna play to have fun thats fine. Chill the fuck out

[unborn cliff]

dont even joke lad

[minor portal]

why are you having fun with a game you've purchased. are you insane

[hazy agate]

idk man that gif seemed judgemental

[fading cobalt]

What a shop

[unborn cliff]

baron is for +10 mult

[fading cobalt]

It was a joke

[unborn cliff]

im skipping mime 😂

[ornate stirrup]

ooh I didnt know there was Slay The Spire cards

[rustic aspen]

black deck gold stake cleared thats all of the gold stakes

[fading cobalt]

Cmon man

[unborn cliff]

#DONTGIVEAFUCK

[fading cobalt]

Mime don't deserve this disrespect

[potent tree]

now do a victory lap and get c+

[hazy agate]

SPECULATIVE MIME‼️

[unborn cliff]

mime is my goat

[rustic aspen]

for some reason I didnt get C+ achievement

[fading cobalt]

Even if you don't care about baron mime is still goated

[unborn cliff]

i simply dont care for her here

[minor portal]

mime gold cards

[unborn cliff]

too lazy

already skipped

[fading cobalt]

And blue seals

[minor portal]

doom awaits you

[hazy agate]

mime + certificate goated?

[minor portal]

violet vessel this man

[unborn cliff]

ill just win

[hazy agate]

may all your blueprints and brainstorms be perishable

[potent tree]

0 mult jokers encountered. oh well

[minor portal]

crimson heart this jester

[grave magnet]

im running black deck right now, is mail-in rebate good at ante 1 right before the hook?

[unborn cliff]

ill just win

[manic talon]

The game for some reason just doesnt check for the achievement after you log your win, so you have to win again (on any stake unseeded) to make the game check for achievements again and get C+

[minor portal]

nuh uh

[hazy agate]

rebate is always good

[manic talon]

Or if you have mods it also could disable cheevos

[rustic aspen]

oh word? thanks for the info

yea I dont have mods

[proper flame]

Abstract joker my LOVE

My KING. My POOKIE BEAR

My G.O.A.T...

[hazy agate]

i'll sell him at ante 5

[manic talon]

The matador play was correct after all

[lunar zealot]

Does anyone have a gold stake naneinf seed

[potent tree]

do we 4 fingers here?

[lunar zealot]

as in a seed naneinfable on gold stake

[hazy agate]

why the hell do you want that

[lunar zealot]

Fun

[hazy agate]

idk man theres not much fun in set seeds, for me at least

i dont like knowing what jimbo has in store for me

[grave magnet]

hieroglyph voucher feels like a bad idea on black deck

[hazy agate]

2 hands🔥

thats how i do it, i just play the face down cards and thats it

[grave magnet]

all face cards are drawn face down. Paredolia: all cards are face cards.

[unborn cliff]

wee at 1080 on round 24

[hazy agate]

damn dude your wee is pretty big

[unborn cliff]

thanks

@minor portal so rude. i got crimson heart

[minor portal]

you'll win

[unborn cliff]

i did

[quick harbor]

is it 20 dollars or 0.2 xmult here

[grave magnet]

should i take the 2 jokers and hope they're good enough for 1200 big blind?

[unborn cliff]

x0.2 mult

actually no

20 dollars

because that money lets you roll into potentially more then 0.2x mult

[quick harbor]

i didnt find anything except for a talisman 😭

[unborn cliff]

DUDE THESE AURAS ARE FUCKING TERRIBLE

0 FOR 4

[wintry ice]

steak too buttery lobster too juicy

[minor portal]

it looks like you've been foiled

[potent tree]

do i fib here

no deckfixing has occurred

[wintry ice]

that works as a mult option

you can pivot from straights to two pair with it

due to runner

[potent tree]

runner is on 165 currently

[unborn cliff]

dont even joke lad

[lavish gazelle]

Hack and trib holy synergy

[minor portal]

trib for safe keeping

[hybrid tendon]

temperance value

[civic moth]

The runs I get on white steak:

[potent tree]

do i start the xmult train

[burnt grail]

I love white "steak"

[hybrid tendon]

hell yeahhh

[burnt grail]

Played high card 7.4 thousand times

It’s probably not that much compared to people’s who have c++

[potent tree]

do i commit to straights now

[stark karma]

it's possible

[grave magnet]

i got murked by the eye

[burnt grail]

I’m struggling on the challenges and black deck the much

[minor portal]

play fragile

[stark karma]

it's possible but difficult

[minor portal]

it's one of the easier challenges

[eager lynx]

got my first $1500+ run

[civic moth]

Surprisingly similar seeds in such a short time frame

[river compass]

🛐

[proper flame]

Not the worst run ever

Was going to replace astronomer if I found something better but it was free xmult scaling so not a big deal to use a slot

[manic talon]

Why are you copying a 2.25X

[tranquil cargo]

1/1000 to break doesn't get copied if that was the concern

[scarlet hare]

I just got foil diet cola wtf

[river compass]

Of course i have

[vocal rose]

[hasty harness]

infinite econ

[river compass]

BRO I ROROLLED, AND GOT THE PLANT TWICE

[hasty harness]

u could maybe get away with selling throwback and trio

idk if u need them to stay alive tho

[river compass]

Already in match

[hasty harness]

u prob do considering no retriggers

[grim thunder]

Free sticker, nice

[hasty harness]

[lavish gazelle]

Why did you reroll

[potent tree]

i just scaled a holo 3x in one shop...damn

[hasty harness]

an actual good negative as well lol

[lavish gazelle]

Oh I can't read

[hasty harness]

too bad its at ante 7

[grim thunder]

Not that good at that point of the game, though

[river compass]

And the plant won... again

[hasty harness]

yeah i literally said this

[lavish gazelle]

I can't read
I'm a Balatro player

[river compass]

They should make a kill counter for the boss blinds

[hasty harness]

its fine tho lol

slap a red seal on that bad boy 😄

[river compass]

Well, Time to play cryptid

[plucky agate]

Me when to do list hits straight flush for the 3rd time in a row

[grave magnet]

Worth??

[plucky agate]

Depends on what hand you're playing and where your score, especially flat mult and chips, are coming from

[cedar shell]

bro

no antimatter no ecto

not even badly timed just nothing

now what

do i drop invis or rebate
