[safe walrus]

Square

[buoyant fog]

I meant to put /j LEL

[wintry ice]

if you make too many random cards you have a lower chance of drawing cards that are actually valuable

[serene forge]

unlocking mr bones?

[wintry ice]

you also spend 1 hand for every card you generate

[safe walrus]

laugh electric loud

[white zodiac]

clearly you haven’t watched one of doc’s recent vids (even though he took it)

[buoyant fog]

Well yeah, only copy certain cards

[past locust]

WHY DOES IT APPEAR AFTER ALL MY GLASS BROKE😭😭😭

BUM GAME

[safe walrus]

no square no win

[tacit quail]

[bleak seal]

"Just copy unenhanced aces idiot."

[buoyant fog]

[bleak seal]

proof #1894583694523 of why joker skips are awful:

[bleak seal]

What do aces in particular do

[buoyant fog]

Bro I literally won orange stake just by copying aces

[tacit quail]

theyre FUN

[buoyant fog]

They're just high chips

[wintry ice]

well how is copying random aces worth it if i don't have a reason to build into aces

[buoyant fog]

but you can do other cards as well

[tacit quail]

to spite you i take it and i win with it hexed

[bleak seal]

And why the fuck would you lost a hand

[past locust]

The humble Throwback Joker:

[safe walrus]

True

[serene forge]

To create a unenhanced ace

[serene forge]

[bleak seal]

I WOULD RATHER PLAY BLACK DECK THANKS

[tacit quail]

skips fix me

[buoyant fog]

you can also copy face cards and stuff too

[wintry ice]

scholar is a temporary solution

[safe walrus]

NEGATIVE TAG BEST PLAY

[languid pecan]

Balatro University / drspectred (balatro youtuber/streamer that has extremely educational videos and is widely regarded as one of the best Balatro players out there, also helped work on the game slightly)

[safe walrus]

ALWAYS TAKE NEGATIVE TAG

[wintry ice]

[jagged cliff]

Didn't know negative flash card looked so beautiful

[buoyant fog]

still working on it tho

[white zodiac]

i did something atrocious earlier dw

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[wintry ice]

back to back acrobat apparently

[serene forge]

my gf is too

[jagged cliff]

Your gf is a negative flash card?

[white zodiac]

why is stencil 8 dollars i just realized

[shell dagger]

[buoyant fog]

True Baron sucks

[oblique matrix]

Cuz it’s fucking goated

[shell dagger]

s ten cil

[white zodiac]

mf is not worth my entire wallet

i’m dead

[serene forge]

stencil is so fucking overrated

[wintry ice]

8$ for stencil is a lot

it's fun but specific

[oblique matrix]

Just you WAIT until you get eternal stencil and ankh

[tacit quail]

gold staked mail in rebate with a 14 hand burglar double rental eternal brainstorm build, didnt get vessel 😈

gold stake build of ever

[shell dagger]

56k best hand is funny

[wintry ice]

you need a very specific setup for it to be worth it

that is why it's not very good

[serene forge]

that's the only reason i say "overrated" and not "horseshit"

[shell dagger]

Rare bs > bp moment

[jagged cliff]

Oops all Eternal!

[past locust]

Chat, i might be cooking

[tacit quail]

bro i took negative tag and got riff fucking raff

[wintry ice]

it's decent as a 2x mult if you don't find anything else

but that's worse than sd at that point

also do i continue to build flushes with a rough gem acrobat build

[languid pecan]

gg easy run

[white zodiac]

idk about flushes specifically, i’d do any other hand

[past locust]

You lucky
I got negative on +4 popcorn on ecto

[wintry ice]

i feel like going to 4oak might be better

or just

[white zodiac]

like saturn idk

[wintry ice]

flush house

[tacit quail]

i had 5 eternals

it was nothing

[white zodiac]

that works too

[past locust]

Dang

[wintry ice]

actually saturn is the usual pair for acrobat so

[shell dagger]

U don’t need to build flushes but u can still make more diamonds when presented the opportunity

[queen reef]

TIL that todolist’s pick hands individually lol

[oblique matrix]

This is why save scumming’s the goat

[languid pecan]

sell the bad jokers if youre going to ecto, otherwise dont ecto

[past locust]

I like gamblibg

[wintry ice]

yea

[fervent wolf]

A bloody challenge: start with 5 eternal blood stones, all bloodstones gain ×.1 mult when a bloodstone triggers

jokers can no longer appear

Banned cards: ectoplasm, antimatter, the soul, judgement, wraith. other Banned tags: negative tag, holographic tag, foil tag, rare tag, uncommon tag, polychrome tag, top-up tag, buffoon tag

Other Banned things: buffoon packs

Banned blinds:the head, Verdant leaf

Scoring scales faster, set money to 0 when leaving a shop, blinds give no extra money for interest, start with overstock, overstock++, the sun, and the fool

[tacit quail]

hahaha what in the nat neg is this. i might take it to try to sticker it

[languid pecan]

you can do more gambling if you dont ecto tho

[past locust]

Previous run yesterday

[jagged cliff]

Save scumming 💔

[signal frigate]

It's singeplayer, I think savescumming is fine

[past locust]

I ankhed the Yorrick
Oh bos did i regret doing that

[languid pecan]

id take it specifically for stickering, dont even bother trying to build into it tho

[tacit quail]

yeh obv

[languid pecan]

sell your hex

[jagged cliff]

I mean, if you like to play that way you can do what you want, no one is stopping you

[fervent wolf]

Basically harder jokerless

[tacit quail]

yeh done

[signal frigate]

It saves like one outcome, savescumming isn't exactly a free win

[potent tree]

we're about to ride multiple buses chat...

[languid pecan]

i dont like save scumming but thats my line in the sand, everyone else can draw their own

[serene forge]

This was incorrect btw

They didnt give me shit

[marsh dove]

I did

I rolled it all away because I needed burglar or I die

[jagged cliff]

😭

[marsh dove]

Well I wouldn’t have died

[fringe oar]

Who remembers the September 3rd incident

[marsh dove]

I’d have lived a31

[past locust]

what

[marsh dove]

But a32 is meaningless accomplishment I want burglar

[fringe oar]

It’s like the 9/11 of this server

[past locust]

What happened😭

[languid pecan]

What happened?

[jagged cliff]

Yeah what happened

[marsh dove]

Was that when a mod pinged everyone and people acted like it was the apocalypse

[fringe oar]

Some mod ACCIDENTALLY didnt know they could ping everyone so they tried

[marsh dove]

Tragic

[fringe oar]

And it working

Pinging 160k+ people

[past locust]

The ping of 9/3

[fringe oar]

Yeah lmfao it was so funny

[jagged cliff]

Oh, that's happened on that day?

[marsh dove]

I used my 2 rerolls

I had enough to roll into plant

[fringe oar]

Yep

[marsh dove]

At least I’ll die in a funny way

[past locust]

I though the chat got nuked or sum

[jagged cliff]

Was that the ping of 9/3?! 🗣🗣🗣

[languid pecan]

check pinned messages

[fringe oar]

Bro the mod who did it was lowk stressing

They thought they would get demoted

😭

[past locust]

It was funny tho?

[fringe oar]

Yeah

[jagged cliff]

was probably understanding

[past locust]

Wut thunk think bout it

Dang

[wintry ice]

is this worth it here

[fringe oar]

No clue

[wintry ice]

i have barely any pair plays so

[past locust]

Supa nopa

[wintry ice]

idk

[marsh dove]

Chat is the joker placement optimal

[past locust]

Chat, should i draw an OC joker card🤔

[fervent wolf]

Yes

[jagged cliff]

Yeah why not, I did too

[past locust]

Heheheh

[wintry ice]

would selling rocket for blueprint be worth it

[marsh dove]

[past locust]

No burgler, no rame value

yup

[jagged cliff]

DNA?

[past locust]

Dick deck my beloved

[hasty harness]

okay wow

very next shop

[marsh dove]

Didn’t proc

That round

[hasty harness]

just add a constellation rofl

[marsh dove]

Is there a bug with mobile Balatro and ectos or something?

[humble gulch]

Three more sticker out of the way

[marsh dove]

It looks like the hand size subtractions might have just

Not happened

[humble gulch]

You're next

[buoyant fog]

Ah yes, the worst joker in the game

[bleak seal]

Negative green joker you love to see a good ol free win

[wintry ice]

acrobat const run again

[humble gulch]

It's useful on Checkered white stake or Abandoned white stake

[jagged cliff]

Didn't know we were talking about flowerpot

[bleak seal]

It's one of the 2 jokers that can generate spectrals

[marsh dove]

We’re talking about showman?

[fervent wolf]

Loser: Legendary: can only be obtained from the Soul Card

This Joker gains + 100 mult if played hand contains a "beefcake pantyhose"

[bleak seal]

Bait used to be believable

[buoyant fog]

Honestly, never thought of it that way, ur kinda true

[wintry ice]

flowerpot is usable as a scuffed order

[past locust]

Spam flush?

[wintry ice]

seance just does nothing

[humble gulch]

Now, this isn't useful in any deck or stake

[bleak seal]

Honey no...

[past locust]

Okay i lost

Ggs

[buoyant fog]

Showman is actually pretty good

[wintry ice]

good luck getting it to trigger

[marsh dove]

In some situations it can be

[jagged cliff]

Exaxtly

[marsh dove]

Rarely out of endless

Seeing as it ruins all the packs

But can be yeah

[wintry ice]

showman is usually more detrimental

[jagged cliff]

Goatman??

[marsh dove]

Yeah

[wintry ice]

and in the situations where it isn't

you already win without it

[past locust]

GGS TRIPLE MOON ON A CHALLENGE 😭

[marsh dove]

For worst jokers I’m thinking if I was forced to take smth what would actively kill me wuickest

[wintry ice]

so it ends up being more redundant if anything

[potent tree]

do i ecto and pray it doesn't hit FT

[fervent wolf]

What yall think

[wintry ice]

well showman is like

[potent tree]

neither bus is eternal sadly

[wintry ice]

the only actively detrimental joker

[marsh dove]

Seance is useless which makes it better than showman

[marsh dove]

Yeah

Well

Others can be but fair

[languid pecan]

showman has very few niche situations where it is useful without being win more

[marsh dove]

Not usually

[languid pecan]

didnt mean to reply

sorry fouler

[bleak seal]

Showman is not the worst joker

[languid pecan]

ehhh

[wintry ice]

what is then

[bleak seal]

Showman has saved me so many times

[languid pecan]

how

[marsh dove]

How

[bleak seal]

Giving me multiple photos

[wintry ice]

citation needed or bait

[marsh dove]

What

[bleak seal]

Giving me multiple deaths

[jagged cliff]

Love picking up showman and then seeing another showman, so I just take it ❤️

[bleak seal]

Yessss

[past locust]

I love showman bc it gave a neg Chad once❤

[wintry ice]

"showman has saved me multiple times"

provides an example where showman wasn't necessary

[bleak seal]

It was absolutely neccessary what???

[humble gulch]

What the hell i'm doing

[bleak seal]

That's an extra copy of my best joker what

[wintry ice]

what was stopping you from just getting another multiplier

[hasty harness]

even more winning

[wintry ice]

like i'm sure you know photo isn't the only scoring joker

[marsh dove]

Yeah so you get another multiplier in pool at the cost of all packs being way worse

Not worth

[jagged cliff]

It's cola time

[crystal field]

if a joker is debuffed will it still get a gold sticker at the end of ante 8?

[bleak seal]

bro one time I went "I think selling the chad here is the best option sadly..." next reroll negative chad ive never been more validated (also this is entirely unrelated to showman its js funny)

[jagged cliff]

Take cola, copy cola, sell bp

[marsh dove]

If you have good enough Econ to consistently hit a showman proc on a useful joker you have options

[bleak seal]

I had sock

[wintry ice]

and?

[white zodiac]

huh

[marsh dove]

I didn’t run out of scoring

[wintry ice]

you also had 5 joker slots

[marsh dove]

I had good scoring to live til a32 where I would’ve died

[past locust]

RAHHHHHHHHHH

I WON

[bleak seal]

Why would I take a x joker that's harder to use when I can get another 4x

[potent tree]

do i sell rebate here and take the xmult

[past locust]

I KNEW MAKING GLASS WAS WPTH

Oh dang i got small hand achievement

Wut that?

[wintry ice]

why make your packs worse to get that 4x joker when just blackboard or acrobat would have been enough?

[crystal field]

dose anyone know

[bleak seal]

Prob yeah

[bleak seal]

I believe so

[jagged cliff]

Yeah

I've taken a lot of perishables in my gold runs to get them stickered, they get stickers

[bleak seal]

Showman is not the worst joker guys flowerpot is right there

[marsh dove]

Blackboard is truly goated

[white zodiac]

well yeah you were gonna die at a32 without any specific resources via burger and the few specific vouchers

[marsh dove]

Never unhappy to see that guy

[marsh dove]

Yeah but you said taking the second ecto kills me before a32

[potent tree]

wheel hit it with holo right afterwards 🙏

[jagged cliff]

You get it

[marsh dove]

This is the statement I’m talking about

[crystal field]

ok ty

[marsh dove]

You were incorrect about that

[wintry ice]

flowerpot can be utilised as a scuffed order for straight builds

[bleak seal]

Oh and loyalty card I hate the guy

[wintry ice]

what niche does showman have?

[past locust]

I'm so cooked 😭

[bleak seal]

GETTING MORE OF YOUR BEST JOKER

[wintry ice]

are you serious

[white zodiac]

grr
my nanlet skills are slipping

[bleak seal]

Are you slow 😭

[jagged cliff]

Loyalty card was really helpful in my first ever few runs, then he fell off

[marsh dove]

Ruining all packs

[wintry ice]

so it only helps you when you're already winning

[past locust]

@buoyant fog
I'm cooked 💔

[bleak seal]

No.

[white zodiac]

requires far more money investment for a reward you don’t even need

[wintry ice]

then what does it do

[marsh dove]

Xd

[bleak seal]

Also win more is better when there are bosses like vv

Like

[wintry ice]

what stops you from just

[potent tree]

do i skip both of these? pair and 3oak upgrades

[wintry ice]

getting another xmult joker

and not having to worry about screwing over your packs

[crystal field]

the shit i do for delayed gratification :/

[wintry ice]

and all that

[marsh dove]

Fact is showman is pretty inarguably actively detrimental for the vast majority of builds

[white zodiac]

tunnel visioning for another specific joker is not the sauce for win consistency

[stark karma]

this boss is a bitch

[bleak seal]

Like what

Give me an example please

[white zodiac]

any of these

[marsh dove]

Acrobat

Blackboard

[bleak seal]

What wouldve been better than photo in my example

[wintry ice]

blackboard, cavendish, acrobat, seeing double, duo, trio

[white zodiac]

yeah

[wintry ice]

why do you need something better?

[marsh dove]

Cavendish

Blackboard

[lost vault]

nyah

[past locust]

The dihh deck had come to an end

Ggs

❤

[bleak seal]

Blackboard does not work all the time

[marsh dove]

Fr

[wintry ice]

good enough

[bleak seal]

Mf when deck is built to red

[past locust]

White Deck when ?

[wintry ice]

building around bloodstone is called throwing

[bleak seal]

Who said anything about bloodstone

[white zodiac]

shooting myself in the foot kind of decision making

[bleak seal]

Actually

[marsh dove]

My (I forgot joker name he looks like that one infamous criminal) x3 on repeat hands builds die to eye too much

[bleak seal]

Genuinely

[wintry ice]

red cards

[crystal field]

i just got telescope I might be able to do ante 8 perkolator

[lavish compass]

no space...

[haughty widget]

do wilds always set off flower pot?

[past locust]

The last Flush🔥

[bleak seal]

Bloodstone was never mentioned

[jagged cliff]

How dare you

[marsh dove]

Why would you

Build to red

[jagged valve]

Bye Photo

[marsh dove]

Hoping for what

[bleak seal]

I'm so sorry I built towards the correct suit when I saw the head in ante 1

Like

???

[lavish compass]

fuaaak

[marsh dove]

Okay that’s fair

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[wintry ice]

you build around preventing yourself from using blackboard?

[bleak seal]

And I said red, not hearts. The same goes for diamonds

[marsh dove]

I don’t find suits matter much in my runs unless I find blackboard though

[jagged cliff]

You've enough to win your run

[marsh dove]

Because it’s usually pair

[white zodiac]

blackboards existence and red suits not really doing much for scoring is the single purpose of why players speculatively build more black suits regardless of whatever suit debuffs they’ve already faced upon general knowledge

[bleak seal]

That's really cool

[jagged cliff]

I either build towards hearts for bloodstone, or spades because shovel knight cards 🔥

[bleak seal]

I'm glad you have a different playstyle than me alex

[wintry ice]

seeing double is also good

[lavish compass]

NOW i got ecto zzz

[white zodiac]

yeah that too

[bleak seal]

But geralt🥺

[marsh dove]

Wow u taking this personally huh

[past locust]

Atleast it was fun while it lasted

Dick deck will Neva be forgotten

[white zodiac]

almost carried me a scuffed plasma gs win

[jagged cliff]

The only collab cards I have equipped are Shovel Knight

[marsh dove]

I understand liking a more fun playstyle we were talking about what joker usually worst tho

[jagged valve]

Ante 11

[marsh dove]

For winning

[jagged valve]

[wintry ice]

why does playstyle matter to the fact that showman is usually useless

[bleak seal]

Flowerpot

Loyalty card

[past locust]

Dihh deck

[wintry ice]

loyalty card can be used as a luchador

[jagged valve]

DAMNNN

[hybrid tendon]

y'all what should I buy along with my charging cables for free delivery ?

[jagged cliff]

Stop with the dih deck!!!

[wintry ice]

and i've already addressed flower pot's use with straight builds

[bleak seal]

It has never been useless for me idk dude

[wintry ice]

i have yet to see an active niche for showman

[marsh dove]

I use flowerpot on abandoned all the time tbh

[past locust]

Loyalty card when Nacho Tong on a Blue deck:

[marsh dove]

Seems pretty good

[bleak seal]

I can sell loyalty card to disable boss blind ? /j

[lavish compass]

yooo its back

[bleak seal]

that's valid I guess

[jagged valve]

Do you guys think we've cracked most of the builds with existing jokers?

[jagged cliff]

I think in all my runs, I've picked up flower pot the least amount of times, probably only when I needed a gold sticker

[white zodiac]

it has a8 skip to vv tech

[jagged valve]

Nice

[wintry ice]

anecdotal evidence isn't enough form a proper opinion on a joker

[white zodiac]

which i’ve done twice

[crystal field]

is $168 enough to reroll

[white zodiac]

before

[jagged cliff]

Peak

[bleak seal]

My personal experience with showman, tells me it's not the worst joker

[lavish compass]

absolute peak

[crystal field]

well actually i wanna spend $1 now....

[marsh dove]

I’ve never seen a gold stake run look so much like a white stake build that’s fire

Peak gameplay

[jagged cliff]

I mean, look at this, this is just peak showmanship, you love to see it

[wintry ice]

the joker's effect in the context of the game tells me that it's only helpful when you have so much money that you'd win regardless

[marsh dove]

Did oops come first or bloodstone?

[jagged valve]

Yum

[bleak seal]

Does marble ever do anything besides comboing with medusa on plasma

[lavish compass]

blood stone then oops

[bleak seal]

That's fun

[marsh dove]

Hologram

[jagged valve]

Oops all Blood!

[bleak seal]

Ah true

[crystal field]

wait i just realized

[marsh dove]

One time showman gave me 2 blueprints in one shop

[wintry ice]

backup chip generation

[bleak seal]

I hardly ever see it

[marsh dove]

Never popped off that hard in my life

[crystal field]

if cards are debuffed does that affect the blackboard

[wintry ice]

i feel like this is fine

[marsh dove]

That was hilarious

[jagged cliff]

That's showman for ya

[lavish compass]

dusk over photo right?

[wintry ice]

money generation is the best thing i can ask for with flash card

and like

[lavish compass]

i mean over chad

[jagged cliff]

Just take it, you'll probably won't see better eternals

[charred spruce]

well that just happened

[jagged valve]

No

[jagged cliff]

Dusk over photo

[wintry ice]

the rental matters less since i need to be less picky with madness

[crystal field]

ig we gonna find out...

[wintry ice]

also this is something

[jagged valve]

Ok yeah not Chad tho

[cloud sinew]

$10 :3

[jagged cliff]

Not gonna keep it for more than one round 💔

[wintry ice]

i found foil bus and hologram on ante 2

and now this

[cloud sinew]

could fullskip

[potent tree]

chat...do we take trading card for the cost of 1 xmult

[wintry ice]

i should not have bought madness what the fuck

[marsh dove]

Dusk over Chad no?

[jagged cliff]

But then there won't be more madness value

[jagged valve]

There should be a way to make cards willingly eternal

[bleak seal]

Do yall like certificate

[white zodiac]

consistency is a credible indicator of success in each gs run. buying a joker and having it inevitably ruining the concept of consumable blocking and money spending into inconsistent shop draws is a complete detriment that doesn’t guarantee a payout until the desired hit. inconsistency and money sink is a far worse feat than an extremely niche joker that is more or less inoffensive past the initial purchase

[bleak seal]

I love certificate

[white zodiac]

yeah

[jagged cliff]

Noooo, chigoat

[marsh dove]

Is he the random seal on random card fella

[jagged valve]

Peak!

[cloud sinew]

No.
Because it is the worst joker.

[humble gulch]

Delayed gratification

[white zodiac]

it’s on my imaginary top 8 list of jimbos

[jagged cliff]

Don't like bloated decks, unless a hologram needs feeding, I don't take it

[lavish compass]

idk but this is dusk over photo

[cloud sinew]

Fuck I read it wrong

[crystal field]

HUGE IT WORKS

[marsh dove]

Yeah the run was pretty ridiculous anyway lmao

[charred spruce]

such value is unprecedented

[jagged cliff]

Dusk was the right call

[marsh dove]

Nice run

[cloud sinew]

dyslexic, looks inside, can't read

[lavish compass]

yeah amazing

[bleak seal]

Sometimes if I really need tarots I just hold onto it without hologram until I grab one

[lavish compass]

anaglyph, half of plasma and erratic left

[crystal field]

so hype!!!!

[potent tree]

anyone? i need this sticker ong

[bleak seal]

Blue seals too

[marsh dove]

Yeah I was wondering if dusk over Chad was better than dusk over photo

I think it was

[wintry ice]

condition
looks inside
symptom of said condition

[white zodiac]

kami pasta moment

[jagged valve]

Whats wrong with it

[bleak seal]

Fair

[crystal field]

+4 stickers

[cloud sinew]

blue and purple seals are goated

[wintry ice]

it's just actively good for you to be getting more sealed cards

[jagged valve]

Where did this looks inside thing come from

[lavish compass]

gold seal 🤤

[jagged cliff]

I usually play for certain hands, if my deck is too bloated, the chance of getting those hands are pretty low, unless I play high card or small hands

[wintry ice]

wireless device
looks inside
wires

[jagged valve]

I see it a lot in Roffles comment section

[marsh dove]

But blue

[bleak seal]

All seals are really good depending on the scenario and the card they're on

[marsh dove]

Blue seals my goat?

[crystal field]

jus play pairs ya

[jagged cliff]

True

[jagged cliff]

But I hate pairs 💔

[marsh dove]

Oh you a flush player usually?

[white zodiac]

notably, your definition of a "good" build may be different from mine. Sure, if you're scoring 500k per hand with photograph and ballot, that's going to work just fine on whatever gifted run you come up to, but I prefer to win all my runs, not just the "good" ones.

[crystal field]

why hate pairs

[jagged valve]

Certificate messes with that?

[wintry ice]

good start

[marsh dove]

Or 4oak or smth

[wintry ice]

do i try the packs for a gold card

[lavish compass]

@white zodiac can you show your planet card stats

[jagged cliff]

Mostly yeah, 11356 played flushes

[marsh dove]

I see

[white zodiac]

uh

[jagged cliff]

Usually

[crystal field]

eeueuuuh

[crystal field]

this is evil

[wintry ice]

what c++ does to someone

[jagged valve]

How? Isnt it just adding seals

[cloud sinew]

most of the time you're not going to be going for higher hands though, you're going to be playing pairs (if playing optimally)

[wintry ice]

blue seals are not overpowered at all

[potent tree]

well i got free trading card sticker so that's cool i guess

[bleak seal]

More cards, less chance you draw what you want

[jagged cliff]

What can I say, I love playing the best hand

[jagged valve]

NO challenges

[marsh dove]

It can make it hard to draw bigger hands because too many cards in deck to find the ones you need

Usually you’re playing pair tho sooo

[cloud sinew]

more seals = higher odds you draw a seal

[crystal field]

dont be naughty now

[jagged valve]

Wait a Second

It CREATES cards?

[cloud sinew]

deck bloat doesn't matter much if what you're adding is very good

[wintry ice]

that's my second profile so yea

[crystal field]

yesss twin

[jagged valve]

I thought it just added seals to existing cards

[lavish compass]

so many 3 of a kinds

[crystal field]

nooo certificate is the goat

[jagged cliff]

I suppose, but I usually play towards flushes or four of a kinds in the early/midgame

[crystal field]

and the hologram husbando

[bleak seal]

Have you not used certificate

[jagged valve]

That sucks honestly

[wintry ice]

it would just be busted if it was like that

[jagged valve]

I have

I just never noticed

[crystal field]

its not as bad as ppl are saying

[white zodiac]

not a very good plan for consistency

[crystal field]

its great for pair builds

[bleak seal]

Do you not notice the 9/8 on ur hand size

[jagged valve]

It did look sketchy when it never hit my wanted cards ever

[cloud sinew]

yeah it gives you an extra card in hand

[marsh dove]

Rate the stats

[jagged valve]

No

[crystal field]

bainstom

[jagged cliff]

Whenever I play pairs or something, I just don't seem to win

[marsh dove]

Bainstom

[white zodiac]

needs some fixing

[cloud sinew]

Nanlet stats 1/10

[jagged cliff]

Just like in real poker, pairs never help me win

[marsh dove]

Yeah it’s the only runs I’ve done on phone

[crystal field]

hmmm which is funny cuz normally ur either getting hc or pair in poker

[jagged cliff]

Jupiter on top

[marsh dove]

Pairs aren’t bad in poker

Or don’t have to be

[cloud sinew]

Then you aren't playing them right

[jagged cliff]

That's why I always lose

[crystal field]

if u have pair and everone else got hc u win

[jagged valve]

Brainstorm looks like it tastes like vanilla ice cream which is tastier than blueprint's tutti frutti but I know blueprint is better 😭

[marsh dove]

Exactly

[wintry ice]

do you just not take scaling mult jokers

[lavish compass]

yeah and in balatro u have face cards and the game has the plant

[jagged cliff]

Yeah, but the times I played poker, I don't win with just a pair, or my pair is too low

[wintry ice]

i think this would be worth it

[jagged cliff]

I do

[marsh dove]

Why u playing face cards on pairs

[crystal field]

my poker luck is bad we can play sometime

[white zodiac]

do you not take early mult jokers/common hand scalers or hand agnostic scoring

[lavish compass]

vibes

[bleak seal]

Nat negative grimbo plus joker stencil

[wintry ice]

then the small difference in scaling between pairs and flushes shouldn't matter

[marsh dove]

I respect it

[bleak seal]

Who needs more than 1 joker

[jagged cliff]

I take what the shop offers me

[jagged cliff]

Chad on top

[crystal field]

STENCIL WHAAA

[white zodiac]

what does the 10 most used jokers look like

[wintry ice]

i personally like 4 finger

[jagged valve]

Lmao

[white zodiac]

i personally like 5

[cloud sinew]

what are your stats like

[crystal field]

ignore photochad im exiting a dark age lmao

[white zodiac]

oop

[cloud sinew]

bloodstone and lusty...

[white zodiac]

oh jesus christ

[crystal field]

squimbo not being in my top 10 hurting me baddddd

[cloud sinew]

do you only play checkered...?

[jagged cliff]

I usually play towards hearts

[jagged cliff]

No, most of the time I enjoy ghost

[wintry ice]

what incentive is there to do that

[white zodiac]

zero chip jokers and scaling x mult is a red flag

[crystal field]

u gotta learn the way of the pair brother

[wintry ice]

oh

[jagged valve]

Balatro more like Bathroom

[cloud sinew]

why? bloodstone is the worst gem joker

[white zodiac]

the zebra incident

[cloud sinew]

and black suits have blackboard

[jagged cliff]

I play lot of endless where chip jokers don't help me

[narrow wadi]

blue seals are balanced (unseeded level 40 gold stake 4oak lol) wasn't even going for planet levels, was just playing normally

[bleak seal]

Not always

[white zodiac]

and c2

[cloud sinew]

it generally is

[wintry ice]

trading card mention

[jagged cliff]

I love bloodstone

[jagged cliff]

😔

[wintry ice]

it's mediocre with oops

[crystal field]

trading card best joker

[bleak seal]

If your on checkered deck rough gem and the other one just dont do anything

[wintry ice]

okay guess i win

[white zodiac]

most frequently useless mineral joker of the 4

[potent tree]

i got a free sticker on it just now lmao

[wintry ice]

1/15 decks

[bleak seal]

7.5x is good

[cloud sinew]

if you're on 1/15 decks, sure. but that's not a large proportion at all

[potent tree]

Gold Stickers to be obtained
Dusk (P)
Sixth Sense (N)
Luchador (O)
Stone Jimbo (N)
Showman (G)

[crystal field]

love trading card downnn

thats diva

[bleak seal]

That is more accurate

[jagged cliff]

Bloodstone is imo a really good early game joker to have, just scale flush, play hearts, hope for enough procs

[potent tree]

just 5 to go...damn

[crystal field]

pnong!

[jagged valve]

Do yall usually go for Anaglpyh for gold stickers

[white zodiac]

must be nice to get hard countered by a couple boss blinds

[narrow wadi]

ayy michel didn't pop on the last round, that's a pretty annoying joker to gold sticker

[lavish compass]

so many legendaries today

[cloud sinew]

"hope" is not something you should be doing to win

[potent tree]

nah i'm using ghost rn

[white zodiac]

no

[lost vault]

balatro!

[crystal field]

i have like 20 something to go

[crystal field]

but atleast i have all the legendaries now

[wintry ice]

earlygame is the worst stage of the game to be relying on it on

[crystal field]

<3

[jagged valve]

Negatives count?

[wintry ice]

like what

[crystal field]

ricky the goat

[lavish compass]

least biased flush player, love it

[cloud sinew]

I have never

[jagged cliff]

It's helped me with most runs, but Bloodstone most of the time isn't my only scoring joker, unless oops is on the team

[buoyant fog]

Niice, I was lucky for Michel to be one of my recent gold stickers too

[jagged valve]

Isn't it way quicker tho if u get lots of negative tags

[jagged cliff]

Ghost deck for me

[bleak seal]

Negative tags...

[narrow wadi]

my build was literally trio with level 40 4oak lol, all my other jokers were useless so just got random gold stickers

[cloud sinew]

bloodstone is incredibly inconsistent and it's hard countered by a boss blind

[bleak seal]

😭

[crystal field]

na cuz ur likely to get negatives of jokers u alr have a sticker for

[lunar zealot]

Only to a point

[jagged valve]

Why is that

[jagged valve]

Rinse and repeat

[lunar zealot]

never listen to a single person's opinion on r/balatro or in the comments of roffle or drspectred

[cloud sinew]

only for the first ~1/2 to ~2/3, the after that it's much worse than just running Blue/Yellow/Abandoned/Zodiac in my experience

[white zodiac]

this is where the discrepancy lies in your statement of joker utility

[crystal field]

not to mention anaglyph offers no upside other than double tags

[lunar zealot]

because i know that's where you got the anaglyph tip from

[jagged valve]

I haven't been there bro

[bleak seal]

What deck are yall most consistent with guys

[jagged cliff]

I tried to get a jokerless sticker in the first few shops, hex'd it, then the useless joker at least still gives 1.5x, I think ghost deck is also really easy to win with thanks to the good deckfixing you get with spectrals

[jagged valve]

No I saw it here

Lol

[lunar zealot]

Oh fuck it's going to rain

[lunar zealot]

and who said it

[jagged cliff]

True, true, but I can't help love him

[white zodiac]

abandoned/yellow/blue

[bleak seal]

For me gotta be checkered, I can't remember if I've ever lost on it genuinely

[jagged valve]

Don't remember won't look for it

[narrow wadi]

why has the game not given me completionist+? i finally got round to actually playing erratic deck and now i have beaten every deck on gold stake

[lunar zealot]

lol

[jagged valve]

Take my word

[crystal field]

you must!

[bleak seal]

Beat another run I think

[white zodiac]

they were the easiest 15 streak gs wins of my life

[wintry ice]

yellow and blue are factually the most consistent

[cloud sinew]

so you admit that bloodstone isn't reliable and is hard countered and yet you think it's a good joker?

[narrow wadi]

can it be like white stake?

[bleak seal]

I think so

[white zodiac]

yeah

[narrow wadi]

cool thanks

[jagged cliff]

He's the goat

[lunar zealot]

bloodstone is certainly a joker that exists

[wintry ice]

so this is an smods bug

[crystal field]

oh thats actually cute hehe

[buoyant fog]

Daaang nice, I had Yorick and Order along with space joker

[lunar zealot]

Close and reopen balala

[white zodiac]

rip

[cloud sinew]

Bloodstone is definitely bottom 25% jokers

[wintry ice]

i'll just close it

[narrow wadi]

erratic is kinda fun with forcing 4oak every time, it's so boring to play optimally tho, it's another pairs simulator without an interesting perk

[jagged valve]

For stickers?

[jagged cliff]

I think bloodstone is a good joker when paired with oops, if not, I think bloodstone can still help you win blinds if your flush levels are high enough

[crystal field]

for gold steak

[wintry ice]

just in general

[crystal field]

yum ymu

[white zodiac]

more like bottom 10 lmao

[wintry ice]

i think anaglyph is good if you have a lot of commons left over
