sad

[stark karma]

well that black deck beaten

[lunar zealot]

sad bad chad

[foggy sun]

lock in. Go for ghost deck. its lowkey super free

[stark karma]

it put up a great fight

[bleak seal]

First run of the day and I am blessed

[trim rover]

i've tried evey deck bruh

[stark karma]

the best advice I have for everyone is: "what would doc do"

[lunar zealot]

You're gonna die

[trim rover]

okay that actually tuff advice

[lunar zealot]

take the wrathful

[foggy sun]

Im going for gold stake on painted and its hard. 4 joker slots is hard to work around, even with 2 extra hand size

[shell dagger]

It’s red stake

Take the blueprint

[bleak seal]

No.

[lunar zealot]

Shit im colorblind

Does this count as not being able to read

[shell dagger]

Yeah

[rough valley]

it took me 8 months of playing to gold stake everything (black deck last) and then i gold staked my last 90 jokers within a few weeks of that on ghost deck. its so fun

[lunar zealot]

FUCK

[rough valley]

venn diagram but instead its just 100% overlap

[tender hill]

I got the diddy joker

[foggy sun]

i think when I get all the decks, I'll gold stake on that double tag one. because U could take the negative tag and get a bunch of jokers one wouldnt traditionally carry to the end without much punishment

[bleak seal]

That venn diagram is a CIRCLE

[rough valley]

yeah thats fair

[white zodiac]

i’ll do you one better
#🕹・game-discussion message

[bleak seal]

Omg I actually cannot find a joker for the life of me

[stark karma]

8?????

[foggy sun]

but ghost deck is like 75/25 for me whenever I do gold stake on it. it is such a goated deck. early poly on a grimbo/bus/nova

[bleak seal]

😭

[stark karma]

ToT

[trim rover]

Ok tuff start

[dire crater]

Im not mad, i use the joker as a "lols" calm down dude

[trim rover]

ride the bus start?

[cursive prairie]

L start

[rough valley]

if your will is strong enough and your heart is pure enough, photochad beats plant

[serene forge]

how is this tough

[rough valley]

ride the bus --> win

[serene forge]

this is literally a free win

[white zodiac]

did it twice, almost 3 times if black deck didn’t bottom decked two of my cards

[trim rover]

proved my point thanks

so tuff

[tranquil cargo]

even if you don't have a strong will or pure heart, all it takes is a single tarot card

[lunar zealot]

Free bus gg

Buy that pack too

see if you get a midas ma

[serene forge]

I don't think photochad users have either of those

[lunar zealot]

Ok unironically

Unironically

i would use midas mask with bus

Because im fuckin stupid

i was this close to actually doing it too

[rough valley]

reasonable take tbh

[bleak seal]

I died lol

Couldn't find a joker

[trim rover]

I saved my money. I found baseball card now, might lowkey take

[lunar zealot]

@serene forge ask me about baseball card

[bleak seal]

[bleak seal]

Holy shit I just opened a buffoon pack to see troubadour and dna 😭😭 game just taunting me for using black deck atp

[serene forge]

I hate DNA

[dire crater]

What should i do with brainstorm

[tender hill]

Chat what do i buy

[white zodiac]

have you said this for devious yet

[dire crater]

Hanging? License?

[white zodiac]

or zany

[dire crater]

Whats zany

[balmy ridge]

mmm

im gonna

try to get ante 39 unseeded

[white zodiac]

3oak mult

[lunar zealot]

Chat how often do yall buy blank

[balmy ridge]

50% of the time i guess

[pliant jewel]

i fear the people who remember all of the basic mult and chips jokers for the different hands

[white zodiac]

whenever i’m above 30 bucks

[wintry ice]

not that often now

[dire crater]

Hey

[bleak seal]

Have fun rerolling for perkeo

Unless you have brainstorm ig

[wintry ice]

even though antimatter is helpful sometimes

[white zodiac]

and not in an emergency

[wintry ice]

even if it ends up being an econ slot

[balmy ridge]

no

[dire crater]

Theres a mod to calculate the hand?

[balmy ridge]

unseeded means no brainstorm either

rawdogging it

[dire crater]

ive saw some people

[honest dawn]

And play whatever you want, you have to adapt to the store and you have to manage your finances well.

[balmy ridge]

im gonna post the death screens here with a run number so i can look back on the runs

[foggy sun]

curious on what the best action is here. because immolate would be lovely but the risk of blue seal is hard. I might just skip for the 3 mult but. idk greed

[white zodiac]

it’s always immuhlate

[pliant jewel]

lets go gambling

[bleak seal]

Immo

[honest dawn]

But it's not so difficult once you get used to it.

[foggy sun]

but I dont want to gamble the blue seal

ok I did the immolate and the blue seal was fine. Gambling always pays off

[pliant jewel]

99% of gamblers quit before they win big

[white zodiac]

you’re currently under max interest threshold

[serene forge]

maybe

[serene forge]

maybe

[bleak seal]

okay well good luck ig, unfiltered ante 39 is tough

[honest dawn]

To omit or to immolate

[white zodiac]

and killing a blue seal isn’t the end of the world

[foggy sun]

Bro i got a mime right after. Blue seal is eating good now

[cursive prairie]

OOOOOOO

[honest dawn]

I would omit the pack

[white zodiac]

crimson bean is a “consistent” tool

[cursive prairie]

OOOOOOOOOO

[white zodiac]

thanks for the input

[stark karma]

noooo my handsize

[balmy ridge]

yuuuup but i'm ready for it, also this isn't a bad start?!

[bleak seal]

Hologram certificate 😋
I love black deck

[white zodiac]

ante 8 and 16 will dictate if your run is bricked or not

[bleak seal]

yeah that's good

[balmy ridge]

ante 39 unfiltered is hard

[pliant jewel]

trans mult

[balmy ridge]

but i'm harder

[regal cobalt]

[lunar zealot]

Stay in school kid

[tender hill]

About to turn 15 but whatever

[stark karma]

mods put this guy into actual prison

[honest dawn]

This might not be related to the conversation, but I think the yellow deck is better than the abandoned deck.

[regal cobalt]

it is

[cursive prairie]

what

[stark karma]

you can go to prison too

[regal cobalt]

abandoned is more fun though

[lunar zealot]

Again stay in school

[tender hill]

i feel offended bro

[tender hill]

I know that

[stark karma]

he's cooked

diddyblud ran away

[regal cobalt]

how is this related at all

[white zodiac]

well yeah

both can happily stay at top 3

[lunar zealot]

??

[balmy ridge]

yeah probably but abandoned is more fun

[lunar zealot]

it isn't

[honest dawn]

Even though it's abandoned, it's a very good deck.

[tender hill]

FUCK

I LOST

[white zodiac]

no decent player is against this a take so um yeah

[lunar zealot]

Abandoned is one of the better decks in the game

-12 deck size is unfathomably significant

and it helps that face cards are only ever gonna be useful ante 1 and ante 2 small blind

On normal builds at least

[lament hornet]

Erratic deck is the best I love holding R

[tranquil cargo]

why are you holding R on erratic deck?

[lament hornet]

To get a better deck from it

[honest dawn]

The erratic deck is pure gambling

[crystal field]

erratic deck is

ouwwww

[lunar zealot]

Erratic is bleh

[honest dawn]

It can be fun and at the same time not

[crystal field]

is it possible to get a standard 52 card deck from erratic

lol

[tender hill]

Im on a losing streak

FUCK

[white zodiac]

it’s coded to not have this happen

[crystal field]

just win the next run ez

[lunar zealot]

[crystal field]

[tender hill]

“fucking shit joker: has sex with all fucking jokers and shits”

[tranquil cargo]

localthunk actually devoted a chunk of code to that?

[balmy ridge]

[tranquil cargo]

it's a 4.7e-22 chance for that to happen anyway

[tender hill]

[bleak seal]

Okay I got a photo, that, I do know how to use.

I might have a chance this run

[crystal field]

[lament hornet]

Every time I take mr. Bones feeling wry and full of schemes I manage to finish the 8 boss without him proccing and feel so dissatisfied

[dire crater]

[crystal field]

[heavy hare]

photochad😾

[quick solar]

[heady narwhal]

lmao

[crystal field]

straight run?

[foggy sun]

I hate this game

[deft panther]

This run has been super cursed

[heady narwhal]

i think i can afford it if i put midas second?

[heavy hare]

diverse and creative game mechanics vs photochad spam

[heavy hare]

HOW

[lament hornet]

I'm still gold staking every deck I'll think about stickers later 😭

[heavy hare]

[urban sun]

EARLY OVERSTOCK OKAY SO THE BLACK DECK RUN HAS A CHANCE

[foggy sun]

[crystal field]

madness better than all of em

[white zodiac]

yeah

[quick solar]

sitll dont get a single straight somehow

[crystal field]

ok

[deft panther]

Ankh + invisible joker + Burglar = green joker hard carrying through brute force

[white zodiac]

although you better find a mult scaler soon

[crystal field]

FFFUCKK

[deft panther]

Also negative banner came in just to be the meme cherry on top

[crystal field]

smashes computer

[heavy hare]

depends how much madness is already scaled

[deft panther]

It's literally doing nothing

[white zodiac]

abandoned deck could never

[heavy hare]

trib can lowk carry like any run

[crystal field]

will scale faster than yorrick and definitely faster than canio

[heavy hare]

when gotten early

[tender hill]

Probably the gay run

[heavy hare]

or like

at most points

in the run

[crystal field]

trib is ok

a more boring idol because it works actually

😔

[urban sun]

I need an actual wild card run game

[deft panther]

Every time I think I hate Green Joker I get a run like this

[cursive prairie]

is this the heaven?

[urban sun]

PLS

[crystal field]

double walkie talkie

[urban sun]

supernova is evil green joker

[cursive prairie]

You can't double trading card

[crystal field]

……….

hey its up to the invis

[deft panther]

I don't care about engaging in good faith debate I care about misrepresenting the facts to push my own narrative

explaining the joker is just explaining the joker

[lavish gazelle]

Kill

[smoky merlin]

when a mod deletes your image maybe don't repost it

[white zodiac]

oh

[smoky merlin]

just a lil advice

[cursive prairie]

ok i lost the game

[deft panther]

Guys what should I sell the Sock and Buskin for? I don't have enough fancy face cards for it to continue being worth it I feel. Mainly keeping it for the foil

[crystal field]

rip potential men

[deft panther]

Not getting anything in this shop

[cursive prairie]

noooo mi double plano

[crystal field]

constellation actually would be a good idea

well

maybe not in ante 8

hmmm

maybe tho

[deft panther]

I think I can brute force the win with my three burglars and green joker and all my levels in two pair

[cursive prairie]

balatro balatrez está jugando a balatro

[lavish gazelle]

You do desperately need xmult

[deft panther]

But I think I could make it easier with a different joker

[crystal field]

yt stake

[deft panther]

I'm confident I'm not losing the run overall given the 13 hands

[lavish gazelle]

Ahh carry on

[potent tree]

chat am i about to lose my run

[bleak seal]

Holy I'm in ante 7 this black deck run could have a chance

[deft panther]

Also the negative banner is there as a meme it was a nat negative and it's doing literally nothing but tagging along

[potent tree]

4 mystic summits!!!

[cursive prairie]

ankh

[crystal field]

NO GO GO GO

[heavy hare]

constellation my beloved 👅

[crystal field]

mystic summer w

[heavy hare]

scales fairly slow tho

[white zodiac]

just keep it upstairs for now

[heavy hare]

just pick up all the planets u can

[potent tree]

i did not listen lmao

[white zodiac]

oh

[deft panther]

I think it's too late for constellation

[bleak seal]

I accidentally reset my obelisk which wasn't great but

[cursive prairie]

w start?

[bleak seal]

We recover

[crystal field]

yeah but on white stake it prob dont matter much right

[heady narwhal]

what do we think about the wraith here chat

[deft panther]

I think with a good chip joker I could brute force the win with the 13 hands from Burglar^3

[heady narwhal]

i think i might want to save it up in case something goes horribly wrong and i need an emergency duo

[crystal field]

its making me sick to my stomach

take it

[heady narwhal]

i'm not entirely confident in my scoring

[crystal field]

$60 duo wgaf

[cursive prairie]

buy the voucher

[heavy hare]

xmult

[crystal field]

it will be dna anyway

[white zodiac]

as in keep it upstairs for stickering sure maybe

[deft panther]

You don't need it imo too much money to lose

[crystal field]

😭

[heavy hare]

u should have chips from planets

[heady narwhal]

tbf i have midas mask

[deft panther]

My two pair is level 10

[white zodiac]

it’s for later, not now

[bleak seal]

I hate black deck sm this run is so stressful

We made it to ante 8

[white zodiac]

consumable manipulation is good anyways

[bleak seal]

PHOTOCHAAAAAD

THE RUN IS FREEEEEE LETS GOOOO

[lavish gazelle]

What's your planet level

[bleak seal]

Me?

[lavish gazelle]

Yes

[crystal field]

and deck composition

[bleak seal]

Level 1 but I'm playing 5 of a kind with red seals

[deft panther]

Is black deck getting changed at all in the update

[bleak seal]

40 card deck 7 kings

[crystal field]

doubt it

[trim rover]

I lost the run :(

[white zodiac]

hasn’t changed in 2 years, why should it now

[trim rover]

at ante 8

[bleak seal]

I was scoring about 100k and scaling before photochad

Now it's a lot more

[white zodiac]

it’s intended to be the challenging deck

[crystal field]

black deck makes my brain hurt

i should probably play it more often

[foggy sun]

this hella tuff

[crystal field]

there arent many decks im fully comfortable on yet

[bleak seal]

605k with chad

[trim rover]

imagine winning purple stake on any deck

gg tho

[bleak seal]

And we get the best boss blind too

[crystal field]

hey is that Jj?? my goat ???

[bleak seal]

Vessel

[trim rover]

"The +1 joker should make it easy"

[crystal field]

no definitely not

[bleak seal]

That's what I thought in my first like 10 hours

And then I realized...

[lavish gazelle]

Does he know moment

[trim rover]

That's why I put it in quotes 🧠

As if someone else was saying it to you

[crystal field]

ive never thunk this

😊

[crystal field]

oh ok

[trim rover]

the -1 hand tho does hurt

[cursive prairie]

bro

[crystal field]

yeah like massively

[trim rover]

BUH

[cursive prairie]

after i bought the 1st fase

[bleak seal]

We cleared the run with scary face smiley face photo chad obelisk, and banana died just in time to not get any sticker

[lavish gazelle]

Lmao

Skill issue

[trim rover]

tips for beating purple stake, orange stake, and then gold stake? serious tips please

[bleak seal]

HOLY

[deft panther]

I got a negative Throwback with x1.5 right before the Violet Vessel and it took 10 of my 13 hands but I beat it

[crystal field]

its ok banana will get a sticker eventually

[bleak seal]

NAT NEGATIVE SOCK MY BUSKIN

[deft panther]

Cursed run

[crystal field]

when you want it to die

[trim rover]

^

[crystal field]

what skips did u take

[deft panther]

Don't even remember

[crystal field]

have patience and save your mony

[deft panther]

I took them earlier in the run

[crystal field]

look for +mult in the earlygame

and leverage mony into xmult and planet cards

[bleak seal]

I might see if I can make this an idol run with this negative sock

[crystal field]

pair is best hand

[bleak seal]

SPEAKING OF IDOL

[trim rover]

pair???

[bleak seal]

Bro shows up the second I say his name

[hoary jay]

I love Two Pairs

[crystal field]

yes pairs are consistent to draw and can win almost every time

[deft panther]

I'm not taking that run endless it was super cursed

[trim rover]

those pants are so massive

can't lie

[crystal field]

[trim rover]

okok

[wicked sonnet]

just beat orange stake for the first time!!

[trim rover]

hell yeah what deck

[trim rover]

ghost deckkkkk nice

[heady narwhal]

i love vampire

[crystal field]

ghost deck best deck

[deft panther]

I only have two jokers left to unlock. I need to play four 7s of Clubs and I need to play a full hand of gold cards

[wicked sonnet]

my fav deck

[heady narwhal]

i also love castle

[crystal field]

i love it in a way only a mother could love it

[deft panther]

Castle is my guilty pleasure joker

[crystal field]

castle is

[wicked sonnet]

i got the arrow and then invis on it to dupe and that cemented the flush build

[trim rover]

So when I see a shop like this

what do I do

[deft panther]

Reroll 3 times

[heady narwhal]

spectral pack gamba is the highest priority

[cosmic sun]

scholar

[deft panther]

And waste all your money

[wicked sonnet]

gold sealed a mult King and then got perishable DNA which helped fix the deck slightly and fixed econ

[heady narwhal]

i'd buffoon then spectral

[crystal field]

baffoon pack and if it misses scholar

[trim rover]

no early spectral?

[crystal field]

nah

save money

[heady narwhal]

i love early spectral

[crystal field]

youre literally on ghost deck

youll get spectrals

[heady narwhal]

no they're not

[trim rover]

no

yellow

[crystal field]

wait im blind

fuck

[bleak seal]

1/7 cards get drawn face down my ass I just drew 4 out of my opening 8 cards

[heady narwhal]

remember a jumbo spectral pack costs $6 and it has a 1 in 4 chance of giving you $20 and also destroying 5 cards

it's basically free!!

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH also goated madness pivot

[heady narwhal]

(this analysis doesn't take interest into account)

[trim rover]

fair

[crystal field]

wraith incantation deja vu and grim time

[hoary jay]

Worlds only Bloodstone fan

[heady narwhal]

raised fist carry

[manic talon]

REAL

[manic talon]

it did carry ante 1-3

[potent tree]

chat how the fuck did this work...

[manic talon]

but then i got planets

[bleak seal]

Brainstorm poggies

This could be a great idol run

Jeez

[trim rover]

did you find 3 invisibles? tf

how

[heady narwhal]

high level pair, scaling +mult, 2 xmult jokers' worth of polychrome

[lunar zealot]

White stakers exist

[manic talon]

i mean its a 7.5X mult

[potent tree]

ankhs

[deft panther]

If you're not digging for a royal flush every single round you're not playing with a winner's mentality

[lunar zealot]

Day ruined

[trim rover]

ahhhhh

[heavy hare]

vampire removing glass foesnt count towards glass joker right?

[heady narwhal]

this is one of the funniest runs i've ever had

[potent tree]

would you do that against the eye? or even the mouth?

[heavy hare]

wpuld be a kinda cool synergy if it did

[deft panther]

I wouldn't do it against any blind because I wasn't being serious

Naturally

[crystal field]

what the trio doing?

[heavy hare]

?

[bleak seal]

Just scored e12 with a level 1 five of a kind feeling pretty good

[heady narwhal]

holographic and also i was playing 3oak for most of the run

[crystal field]

ohhhh

ggs

[heady narwhal]

the level 26 strush was from orbital tags in ante 8 (but i did use that to win the final boss for the funnies. thats why i have medium)

[heavy hare]

?????

this would be cool tho

[heady narwhal]

it does not

because the glass card isn't destroyed

[heavy hare]

it's like

unglassed

[bleak seal]

Uhm I take midas mask if I'm doing idol and looking for golden ticket right

[sullen lintel]

this is the weirdest black deck run ive done in my life

[manic talon]

if you got stripped naked are you dead?

[lunar zealot]

Yes.

[manic talon]

skill issue

[lunar zealot]

Mf

[bleak seal]

Errr

[heavy hare]

i soon would be it's cold out

[bleak seal]

Okay guys

[lunar zealot]

im gonna eat you

[heady narwhal]

i wish i got an eternal negative merry andy in a shop

[potent tree]

you changed your profile picture i see

[spare lark]

Chat rate my setup

[lunar zealot]

Matching with the wife

[bleak seal]

I have photochad, midas mask, brainstorm, idol (and a negative buskin)
What/do I sell for ecto?

[spare lark]

Probably Midas tbh

[bleak seal]

Oh and I have a banana

Sell that too ig

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[spare lark]

Nah don’t sell the nanner

[heady narwhal]

me too!!!

[bleak seal]

We hit brainstorm

That's probably the best hit

[spare lark]

Oh w

[tranquil cargo]

then avoid all of the following seeds:

[bleak seal]

We get full overstock+ value from selling allat

[potent tree]

well, this is unfortunate.

[tranquil cargo]

actually the list is too long for the discord character limit, I guess you'll have to deal with bloodstone existing

[spare lark]

I love bloodstone tbh

[spare lark]

Rip

[serene forge]

what the fuck are you doing

lmao

[potent tree]

3 ankhs and some bootstraps apparently.

[languid pecan]

you forgot the madness joker

[trim rover]

i cant get pairs to work they never score enough

[heady narwhal]

scaling +mult and blue seals

or scaling +mult and scaling +chips

[crystal field]

yeah start with flushes and then once you have good enough scoring tech you can pivot to pairs

[trim rover]

never realized how important +mult jokers ngl

[languid pecan]

its not about scaling the mult on pairs, you need a scaling mult joker for 99% of pair builds

[bleak seal]

Dang it

[crystal field]

usually im pairing down by ante 2

[bleak seal]

I died

[quick solar]

reminds me of this run

[languid pecan]

the scaling mult joker is about 80% of your mult

[spare lark]

Yall fw the odd Todd gambit?

[bleak seal]

Just 2 mil short of ante requirement

Funnily enough

Wouldve lived with banana

:/

Well I had my fun

[trim rover]

but why is todd called odd

[bleak seal]

Pretty good for black deck

[trim rover]

wtf did he do

[bleak seal]

Wouldve lived if it wasn't black deck

[spare lark]

He’s a weird guy

[serene forge]

I hate Swashbuckler

[bleak seal]

Now time for magic dexk

[languid pecan]

why?

[heady narwhal]

I hate Fortune Teller

[serene forge]

its bad

[bleak seal]

Magic deck lowkey my 2nd least favorite deck

[serene forge]

me too!!!!!!!

[languid pecan]

it isnt bad its mid

[spare lark]

L take tbh

[languid pecan]

how

[serene forge]

same thing

[languid pecan]

not really

[spare lark]

Magic deck kinda goes hard for early game deck building

[heady narwhal]

• it's useless as your first joker unlike abstract
• it's about 2 mult per joker (unlike abstract which is 3 per) and it doesn't include itself

[crystal field]

the fool is the best tarot card

❤️

[bleak seal]

Because I can never find a good tarot specifically when I use this deck

[heady narwhal]

hermit > fool

[crystal field]

fool for hermit

fool > hermit

[serene forge]

canio according to r/balatro users

[potent tree]

10 stickers to go!

[bleak seal]

I never find one

[crystal field]

fool is legit the blueprint of consumables and thats enough for it to be the best i think

[languid pecan]

tf 175 sell value

[heavy hare]

yeah checks out

[spare lark]

Real

[heady narwhal]

there's almost never a case where i'd rather have whatever is in fool than a hermit

[heavy hare]

randomised mod

[serene forge]

misprint deck

every number is randomized

[heady narwhal]

$20 is like the blueprint of things that you can buy

[spare lark]

Why magic deck lowkey my second or third favorite deck

[crystal field]

gotta be more fool conscious then, save planets and watch for what consumables u use

[bleak seal]

Like magic deck isn't bad, I just dont like it because whenever I use it I get bad tarots

[heady narwhal]

why would i want a planet instead of $20

[crystal field]

mercury

[crystal field]

i said save planets

[spare lark]

Get good then idk what to tell you

[crystal field]

so your fool can be a death

[languid pecan]

you dont have runs where youre rolling down the shop for deck fixing?

[crystal field]

instead of a saturn or whatwvwr

[languid pecan]

hanged man or death card?

[serene forge]

a hermit is better than a None

[heady narwhal]

why would i want a death instead of $20

[crystal field]

personally id pay $20 for a death

[languid pecan]

because death could be wayyy more than that over the course of a run

[crystal field]

depending on how good the death is

[serene forge]

blunder

[crystal field]

same for hunged man

[spare lark]

If you have hella money already, death is worth a lot more than 20 bucks

[potent tree]

me drawing into a straight flush Q-8

[bleak seal]

Yeah

[potent tree]

ante 1 boss

[crystal field]

also suit changer on magic deck is funny

[heavy hare]

depends on the situation u are in

[bleak seal]

OKAYYY

[spare lark]

W pull terraria man

[languid pecan]

so long as its clubs or spades personally

[bleak seal]

I found the hermit

Magic deck good

[crystal field]

what you dont want rough gem value? that sweet sweet rough gem value

oh yea

[spare lark]

Hearts for da bloodstone oops all sixes combo

[heady narwhal]

let's say i death a gold card and i have that gold card in hand for half of rounds (since you draw half your deck and i'm running highcard to simplify things). it passes the $20 mark after 14 rounds, but i could have spent the $20 from the hermit on getting value generation and such and it would've compounded quite a bit by then

[languid pecan]

correct.

[crystal field]

i dont even play magic deck

[bleak seal]

Sixth sense we love to see it

[crystal field]

so I cant say what id do most often

tho i think id use fools for saturn or mercury most often

[heady narwhal]

there are definitely a lot of cases where hermit is not the tarot card you want the most, but i think it's the tarot card you want the most about 95% of the time

[languid pecan]

gold cards are only part of it, seals are the important thing

[heady narwhal]

if i see a hermit i'm not spending very long in that arcana pack

[spare lark]

I use it to expedite my runs into flush territory or find a good sealed enhanced card and make copies

[bleak seal]

Ante 3 nacho tong my chad + business card eating good

[languid pecan]

i would prefer deathing a purple seal over 50 dollars sometimes

[crystal field]

usually yea

[languid pecan]

purple seals are op

[spare lark]

That’s real

[crystal field]

but having a fool means next hermit u find is worth $40

[bleak seal]

Yes

[crystal field]

not to mention fool can potentially do something better

why go peter thiel moment and hoard money not to spend it doing cool shit like deathing ur good cards

😓

[heady narwhal]

here are my stats
(granted, fool into hermit also counts as one use of hermit so it's closer than the graph indicates)

[bleak seal]

Sock my buskin we are getting so much business card value

[heady narwhal]

you usually need to do a lot of rerolling to score enough points for vv i think

[crystal field]

vv?

[languid pecan]

mine

[heady narwhal]

violet vessel

[trim rover]

ARE YOU F*CKING KIDDING ME

BROTHER

[languid pecan]

sell hex

[bleak seal]

lmao

[languid pecan]

wait

[potent tree]

do i take dgrat for the holo or no

[heady narwhal]

ride the bus in buffoon pack (better than blueprint)

[languid pecan]

is hex worth 2 dollars

[trim rover]

$9

[crystal field]

heres mine

[potent tree]

yes

unless it's negative.

[languid pecan]

shucks

[bleak seal]

Dgrat play raised fist kinda good

[trim rover]

imma cry so hard bro

that's fcked

[spare lark]

Rest in peace

[glacial iron]

decent build ...

[trim rover]

holy

[crystal field]

wheel being #10 is way too ridiculous

[spare lark]

Tragedy caught on camera

[heady narwhal]

kind of like that all of these graphs have the same top 6 followed by a noticeable cutoff

[trim rover]

no heavens

[heady narwhal]

also the same top 1

[crystal field]

just cuz I use hermit more doesnt mean I value hermit more than other tarot cards

[crystal field]

just happens hermit tends to be the best option in the moment

then again i still think fool is better

[languid pecan]

i mean nobodys debating hermits the most consistently good option

[spare lark]

W luchador holy

[languid pecan]

but theres quite a few circumstances there are better options

[crystal field]

^

hermit is definitely top 3

[trim rover]

The irony, a rainbow straight improver

[heady narwhal]

i personally think the median case is the most important one

[languid pecan]

consumables list is funny (mercury gaming)

[spare lark]

The gayest straight man

[trim rover]

me fr

[bleak seal]

Business card lowkey just gave me 50$ hell yeah

[spare lark]

Hell yeah

[bleak seal]

AND WE GOT AN OOPS

[trim rover]

omg making bank

[heady narwhal]

mercury gaming

[potent tree]

so...byebye scary right

[spare lark]

My best run (unseeded) to date

[spare lark]

Yeah of course

[bleak seal]

Uhh trading card shit what do I sell

[crystal field]

eeya

[languid pecan]

i respect the saturns and venus

[bleak seal]

I have chad smiley bcard oops and sock

Is it chad that goes?

[languid pecan]

i used to be plagued by flushes long ago

[heady narwhal]

chat is this based

[heady narwhal]

i don't think so. shoot the moon should be on the list

[crystal field]

i think mine goes mercury, pluto, jupiter

[languid pecan]

red card W

[crystal field]

😭

[crystal field]

no bus? 😿

[heady narwhal]

i like mime

[languid pecan]

i used to dislike bus

[spare lark]

We found the only red card enjoyer 😭

[languid pecan]

agreed

[crystal field]

i love red card

today i had a red card with +96

[spare lark]

For what reason?

[heady narwhal]

rerolls above overstock wilted rose emoji

[languid pecan]

genuinely i typically think of it as one of the best mult scalers in the game

[bleak seal]

Do I sell anything for trading card

[crystal field]

scaling mult wins

[languid pecan]

especially when you dont want to handscale

[crystal field]

sell oops

[heady narwhal]

it's impossible to get c++ without becoming a red card enjoyer

[potent tree]

can i sell dgrat for rocket? i score over 1m a hand

[lunar zealot]

Red card is one of the best jokers in the game

[trim rover]

tf

[crystal field]

yes

[heady narwhal]

it only gets up to $7 i think it's not worth it

[bleak seal]

b-but business card 🥺

[crystal field]

red card haters in shambles rn

[lunar zealot]

red card makes every pack useful in some way---in an ideal world you will open every pack every shop, and not all of them will have hanged man, a joker you want, immolate, mercury, etc etc
in this sense red card contributes as both a scoring (helping you win) joker and as a utility (gives dud packs the ability to still contribute to scoring) joker
helping matters is its +mult per pack skipped, and comparing the overall +mult to its peers, green joker and ride the bus
the latter 2 gain +1 mult per hand; on most decks that is 12 mult per ante; in contrast, red card is +18 mult per ante should you skip all 6 packs per ante
However this +6 mult is often not seen much as a straight upside in terms of mult per ante because rarely do you ever skip every pack in a given ante; in this sense it should be thought of as a buffer to let you weigh what packs to skip and which ones to take, as overall red card has more variance in favor of it gaining mult compared to its peers due to that fact
overall red card simply covers a very solid utility niche of making every pack opened useful whether it be through offering the card you want, or by giving +mult to red card (and it cannot be overstated that a niche like this is Very Good) while also being a good scaling +mult joker in its own right

[potent tree]

i need for sticker anyways

[crystal field]

business card is shit anyway u can replace that too later on

hehe

[spare lark]

Nah, multiplicative mult wins

[bleak seal]

Oops is a guaranteed 20 bucks each hand

[languid pecan]

its good on most decks and on decks where you want to try to avoid handscaling (green deck and black deck for example) its even more powerful

[heady narwhal]

clearance sale that high is crazy to me. i almost never take clearance because it feels bad

[crystal field]

what is it multiplying

[lunar zealot]

Red card good

[bleak seal]

20 bucks is shit 🥺

[languid pecan]

idk

[crystal field]

+96 from a red card?

[lunar zealot]

Read my fucking writeup thanks

[spare lark]

X2 or x1.5 or whatever

[bleak seal]

I think its chad

[languid pecan]

i think it used to be high priority its less priority now

[spare lark]

Why photochad is so good

[heady narwhal]

+138 mult red card >>

[languid pecan]

🪴

[crystal field]

also i like clearance sale, besides the temperance value why not take it

[spare lark]

Photochad with a level like 5 high card clears tbh

[heady narwhal]

🪴 doesn't counter photochad

[lunar zealot]

8 x 20 < 3 x 75

[languid pecan]

youre right

i just like sending that emoji

[serene forge]

I hate The Unravelled

[lunar zealot]

you also have yet to read the thing i wrote

[crystal field]

genuine curiosity btw

[spare lark]

Yeah I ain’t readin allat

[crystal field]

would love some insight actually never considered this

[lunar zealot]

Lol

[bleak seal]

NEGATIVE CHAD

[crystal field]

i think clearance sale is my #1 most voucher

[lunar zealot]

always the rivals players

#theusualsuspects

[bleak seal]

I KNEW THE CHAD WOULD COME AROUND

[spare lark]

Okay bro

[lunar zealot]

'bro'

LMAOOOO

[bleak seal]

I HAVE NEVER FELT MORE JUSTIFIED ON A PLAY IN MY LIFE

[spare lark]

Best single hand score?

[lunar zealot]

Naneinf

[spare lark]

Unseeded

[lunar zealot]

do you really want to go band for band with me

[languid pecan]

lmao

[crystal field]

Rat

[languid pecan]

what

[heady narwhal]

I hate Smiley Face

[crystal field]

why should I not value clearance sale

over other vouchers

[lunar zealot]

Naneinf

[spare lark]

Proof?

[slow iris]

I hate Throwback

[languid pecan]

its just less priority, if youre above 25 interest cap take it

[crystal field]

Ahhh ic

[bleak seal]

Unseeded naneinf isn't hard why you asking for proof

[crystal field]

fair enough then

also something I love is that liquidation is the only voucher that is always $7 lol

[spare lark]

I mean I guess so, if you find like baron mime perkeo

[heady narwhal]

i'm ass at balala but it's about $4 of value per round ($3 from packs + $3 for voucher each ante) once above interest which isn't like Bad but it's not that good either imo. i don't like to the moon

[spare lark]

Called the deck that’s crazy

[lunar zealot]

i've won more runs than you've played

[languid pecan]

are you just trying to ragebait them

[heady narwhal]

plus it harms your temperance value and that feels bad especially when you have polychromes and negatives and such

[lunar zealot]

pack it up

[spare lark]

Yeah lmao

[lunar zealot]

girl who the fuck is 'them'

[lunar zealot]

rule 6 rule 10 violation btw

[crystal field]

to the moon is with seed money tho right or

[wicked sonnet]

gold stake first try!!!!!!!!!!

[lunar zealot]

i could call mods

[crystal field]

i dont like to the moon much either

[spare lark]

You buster

[lunar zealot]

i don't use they/them

[manic talon]

i mean 90% of naneinf is baron mime thats not that hard to call

[heady narwhal]

i mean that to the moon ($5 per round once above interest) is comparable with clearance sale (~$4 per round once above interest)

[spare lark]

They don’t know you’re pronouns

[crystal field]

Ohhh i see

[slow iris]

human i remember you're pronouns

[lunar zealot]

Yes they do i've been here for months

[wicked sonnet]

how the hell did this win gold stake

[crystal field]

I like clearance sale esp when I have something like constellation and hologram because feels im spending less money to get more

[lunar zealot]

it's in my bio

[spare lark]

Ohhhh my fault

[crystal field]

ig it is conditional when its actually very good

and when its just kinda ok

[potent tree]

chat i fucked up...i forgot that the next blind is not my current suit

[languid pecan]

i get called out when i assume pronouns and i get called out when i dont assume pronouns (now)

[spare lark]

Can’t win

[proven gulch]

vagabon

[lunar zealot]

it's in my bio?????

[spare lark]

Bros ragebaiting themselves

[lunar zealot]

??????

[wicked sonnet]

yes he carried

[heady narwhal]

personally i just think it's really underwhelming when compared to the other shop vouchers (overstock and rerolls)

[lunar zealot]

WHO THE FUCK IS 'BRO'

[wicked sonnet]

i got a million world cards so did another flush build

[proven gulch]

why is your deck so huge with a vagabond

[heady narwhal]

both of those save money on the really expensive part of shopping

[wicked sonnet]

didnt' get any hung men

[crystal field]

This makes sense to me yeah, I used to not understand how costly rerolling the shop was for a long time

[wicked sonnet]

but got a zillion lucky and steel cards and so went for flush/royal flush build and it somehow worked

[spare lark]

W

[wicked sonnet]

is that not normal 😭

[lunar zealot]

no?

generally you deckthin with hanged man

[spare lark]

Bro I call literally everyone bro

[proven gulch]

that's a bigger deck than my normal runs

[wicked sonnet]

sorry i don't actually know much about the game lol

[heady narwhal]

were you playing all your hands each round?

[wicked sonnet]

the most was two

[lunar zealot]

cool??

[heady narwhal]

in that case you're not using vagabond to its full potential

[crystal field]

play all hands get max vagabond value

[wicked sonnet]

glass joker was at x2.5 so not amazing but okay

[lunar zealot]

am i supposed to be okay with that now?

[wicked sonnet]

ohhh

[bleak seal]

who was that guy that said business card is shit I wanna talk to you

[wicked sonnet]

that makes sense
