#

It's unreliable

#

But it can work if you're willing to go through the bullshit

icy hollow
#

surely

#

all you have to do is play a 5 card hand of only 1 suite. for a 5050 chance at only 1.5xmult before jokers

#

surely

signal frigate
#

It's fuckin terrible though you right

icy hollow
#

😡

signal frigate
#

Just use Ancient

#

Better skill dependent than pure luck

#

You can actually use skill issue if you fail an Ancient Run

modest spade
#

Ancient Joker: Looks cool, has counterplay against suit debuff bosses, fun deckfixing minigame

Bloodstone: Ugly, folds to The Head, unreliable

signal frigate
#

Ancient also just feels better to use than Bloodstone imo

#

Though, it is instantly gratifying to use the Oops Bloodstone combo

modest spade
#

Would you believe me if I said in my 400+ hours of gameplay I haven't found oopstone once

icy hollow
#

only requires 2 uncommon jokers to provide less xmult than photochad!!!

#

anyways. still funny how the reddit treats bloodstone as a top tier joker

signal frigate
#

It took me until my second C++ to find out how fun Blackboard is

signal frigate
#

But with Ancient

#

It's almost always an instant take

#

I say almost cuz I'm too pairs pilled to run flush decks all the time

icy hollow
#

holy i open reddit and the first post is a consumable ranking

#

with magician in top tier and devil in the insta sell tier

#

and suite joker saying only hearts matter

#

gg

signal frigate
#

Karma farming at it's finest

#

I've seen like

#

6 posts about ranking shit

signal frigate
#

I wanna be disgusted

icy hollow
#

genuinely how do you have devil in the free dollar group 😭 wtf

#

at worst it costs 3 and you use it on a card thats staying in your hand and it insta pays for itself

#

like i know its a meme, but the basis for the meme does show the actual skill level behind the poster lol

signal frigate
#

Jesus Christ, they only play White Stake

icy hollow
#

😭 i mean even when i was a white stake merchant i dont think i wouldve been like this like

mortal nimbus
#

I'd argue that this take is worse

icy hollow
#

devil is actually just free

#

$3 for instant $3

#

Magician I'd actually agree is higher on the ranking

signal frigate
icy hollow

Not only saying that the other 3 don't matter, but the the worst suit is the best

icy hollow

i took a skip (from 40 something dollar btw)

#

Otherwise, I'm inclined to believe they don't even have half their collection unlocked

signal frigate
icy hollow
#

like the rest of the bad takes are like not memeable bad takes, they just bad. but the king one.... surely that was just a joke... surely

signal frigate
tall sky
#

putting steel on kings is a take someone gets when they watch roffle exclusively and never play the game

signal frigate
#

One of my favorites to unlock

signal frigate
#

No matter what

tall sky
#

blue seal on what

signal frigate
#

Steels

tall sky
#

yeah that's good

signal frigate
#

I steel a blue seal, though steel cards are still good on their own

#

It doesn't matter if it's king

tall sky
#

I'm fine with either steel or gold

#

blue seals are just overpowered like that

signal frigate
#

With a good chunk of mult, multiplying that by 1.5x is still gonna be really good

tall sky
#

blue seals my beloved

signal frigate
#

They're absurdly powerful

tall sky
#

drspectred playing cryptid and his takeaway is "blue seals are too powerful"

signal frigate
#

I had a hilarious run when I was in VC actually

#

One of my friends who is still KIND OF new to the game

#

Criticized me for not duplicating a King

#

When I went for my 8s because I was trying out the full potential of 8ball

tall sky
#

optimal play

signal frigate
#

I then explained that I wasn't running a Baron build

#

And that Baron isn't the only joker in the game

icy hollow
#

The reddit focuses too much on like card synergy ngl

tall sky
#

new players only know about the exodia in balatro without regarding that the exodia is stupid

signal frigate
#

Fucking Baron showed up in the shop

#

So I mockingly went

signal frigate
#

"Oh hey! Look, a Baron!"

tall sky
#

skip

signal frigate
#

He got excited and told me to take it

#

I took a couple seconds of silence

#

And then said "Anyways."

tall sky
#

pfft

signal frigate
#

Reroll past it to get a free Blue seal

tall sky
#

you should've like

signal frigate
#

I was playing ghost

tall sky
#

taken it and thrown the run

#

sell all your jokers and just lost in front of him

signal frigate
tall sky
#

and then ask him why baron didn't win the run for you

#

it would've been a good learning experience tbh

signal frigate
#

He learned

#

I coached him

#

He got his first Gold Stake a month ago when we were still in school

icy hollow
#

Maybe just face card econ

signal frigate
#

It was pretty funny looking back on me rerolling past a Baron after getting his hopes up though

#

Because he fuckin SCREAMED when I did it

signal frigate
#

I ask a question first before doing it

#

I dunno why I do this though

#

I ask myself a question before deciding

#

Think about it for a second

icy hollow
#

Could 9 and faces are the only real ones imo

signal frigate
#

I mean, synergies like Bloodstone, Photochad, Vamp Midas are good

unreal iron
#

vamp midas is so goated

#

genuinely

signal frigate
icy hollow
signal frigate
#

But the same thing applies

icy hollow
#

The reddit is so focused on "7 is so bad/3 has fib and hack!!!"

signal frigate
#

Synergies are still good, you just need the specifics to meet

icy hollow
#

Where like its just so insignificant

#

The main thing with getting a rank is mars

unreal iron
icy hollow
#

Not the oddtodd value lmao

unreal iron
#

there is a "worst rank" due to lack of synergies etc but

#

it shouldnt matter like 9/10

icy hollow
signal frigate
#

What matters is the card itself

signal frigate
#

If a 7 has a blue seal AND steel in it

#

I'm still fuckin taking it

icy hollow
#

I got yap mogged

unreal iron
signal frigate
#

But if I'm given an Ace with absolutely nothing on it, even if I have Fib AND scholar, I ain't taking that shit

unreal iron
#

taking unbuffed things is stupid

signal frigate
#

And sometimes editions

unreal iron
#

no seal or anything

There's like 4

negative playing cards?

ray?

lunar zealot
#

are we talking about that, ray?

unreal iron
signal frigate
#

It's on the same list as foil

signal frigate
#

You can chalk it up to semantics

unreal iron
#

how does that even work

#

seriously

signal frigate
#

I'm not saying negative playing cards exists btw

#

Just that it's still considered an "Edition"

signal frigate
unreal iron
#

but its not a card edition

signal frigate
#

True but it's still an edition so I'd say there's still 4 of them

#

I've narrowed it down

deft panther
#

I hate blue stake so damn much -1 discard is just damn stifling

#

Its just boring and restrictive

unreal iron
#

get ready.

signal frigate
#

Try your luck with hands that aren't 5 cards

deft panther
#

I'm tired of pairs

signal frigate
#

Easily drawn hands are better when you have less discards

signal frigate
#

Trousers are both fun and really really good

deft panther
signal frigate
#

Though, Blue Stake is still on the lower end

unreal iron
signal frigate
#

It's kind of a difficulty curve yeah but know that it'll get worse

unreal iron
#

time to force straights buddy

signal frigate
deft panther
#

It's just so boring and restrictive it solely limits the way that the game can get played

signal frigate
#

Me when LocalThunk

#

I can't tell if adding an extra 50 new vanilla jokers for the funny 200 number is gonna be good for the longevity of the game

#

That is quite alot of work to ask for one singular person though

#

Maybe not

acoustic kettle
#

I hate pair spams

deft panther
#

Five card hands are the most fun for me

thorny axle
#

REVENGE IS MINE

deft panther
#

It's not even a "oh -1 discard makes it too hard to win" it just makes it boring

thorny axle
#

i agree

#

like really what does it affect

#

delayed grafitaction?

#

banner?

deft panther
#

Simple there are less jokers you can play with
Less hands you can play with
Less cards you can draw

#

Just all around less of the game that can be played

signal frigate
#

It makes the game harder in an unfun way

wary crystal

Helpblueprint is this endlessa material

no shit but like

It doesn't even make it that much harder it just funnels you into the same playstyles

Blue Stake targets some specific builds for seemingly no reason

silk tapir
signal frigate
thorny axle
#

replace with -1 hand

signal frigate
#

But given that you're already ante 10

thorny axle
#

everything gets hella nerfed

signal frigate
#

It might be too late

thorny axle
#

but its equally nerfed

#

much better

deft panther
#

I'd rather it just do something different

signal frigate
#

Just

thorny axle
#

ignore the fact black deck becomes borderline unplayable

signal frigate
#

Not unique

silk tapir
thorny axle
#

i need to unlock stuntman how do i naneinf

deft panther
#

Has LocalThunk explicitly said that Black Deck is meant as a challenge because I always see people say that it's meant as a challenge deck and I just don't feel like that's true

signal frigate
#

What if Blue Stake just says "Fuck you." To blind money and disables big blind mons

#

Wouldn't be too restrictive

#

You still get to keep your discards and hands

thorny axle
languid steppe
#

Right so I have a run here I'm struggling to think on how to improve

signal frigate
thorny axle
#

i mean yeah its the hardest

jovial plinth
#

Guys you got any tips for blue stake

acoustic kettle
#

To make it not as hard

thorny axle
#

but at the same time it's probably the 5th/6th deck you're unlocking

thorny axle
signal frigate
thorny axle
#

disables money

signal frigate
thorny axle
#

no more income

deft panther
#

What if Blue Stake lowers interest cap

jovial plinth
acoustic kettle
#

Maybe like
Leftover hands no longer grants money

signal frigate
jovial plinth
#

Also you can negate it by buying wasteless

signal frigate
signal frigate
#

I know the game has alot of odds but it's just not fun to play around your own luck

deft panther
#

Hand money is one of the big reasons black deck being -1 hand is so rough is it not?

acoustic kettle
#

Well ye

languid steppe
#

2 Blueprints (One negative), 2 Brainstorm, Sock n Buskin, Idol, 2 Trib (One Negative), Dusk (Negative) and a deck full of Polychrome Glass king of hearts is what I have right now. I already have Anti matter and have used 2 ectoplasms so I can't use another one

signal frigate
signal frigate
#

Also, 2 demons are in chat rn

#

Interesting

deft panther
#

No Hand Money basically turns the first shop into a tease

#

4$ in the first shop on every single deck

#

Except yellow and green

latent egret
signal frigate
deft panther
#

Can't get rid of hand money

signal frigate
#

You can still get hand money

acoustic kettle
#

Disables both

deft panther
#

Yeah that's not a good idea

signal frigate
#

I suggested that blue stake just do a Red stake

signal frigate
acoustic kettle
#

Or maybe like half the boss blind reward

signal frigate
#

So you can still play around that change by relying on hand money instead

#

It's not completely restrictive, BossBlind reward still exists

#

And it's still on the lower side of stake difficulty

deft panther
#

Maybe a new joker tag, akin to Eternal/Perishable/Rental

signal frigate
#

So I think it fits

signal frigate
#

Stickers are on the top of the stake difficulty list

#

Blue Stake is still a lil early for those I think

acoustic kettle
#

Move all the stakes down one with blue effect deleted and then gold stake allows perishable eternals

deft panther
#

Blue stake is after eternals

signal frigate
#

Purple is after Black

acoustic kettle
#

Move all stakes above blue

signal frigate
#

But yeah, I think just disabling big blind reward could be the fairest change?

acoustic kettle
#

And gold stake allows eternal perishable

signal frigate
quartz ember
signal frigate
#

You can still get enough money to buy more than a buffon

deft panther
#

I would just increase the cost of things in the shop by a small amount, like $1 each

#

Rather than remove further income the player gets

signal frigate
#

Or was it gold?

#

Actually, that change existed, just

#

WAYYY worse

#

There's a reason why it was changed

acoustic kettle
#

Inflation

mortal nimbus
#

orange increased booster pack price each ante

deft panther
#

I would rather everything in the shop be $1 or $2 more that than -1 discard

signal frigate
#

What was old Gold Stake again?

mortal nimbus
#

-1 hand size

signal frigate
#

That sounds painful

#

You're permanently against a Bossblind lmao

willow frost
#

WHAT

deft panther
#

-1 hand size with -1 discard and scaling booster pack price each ante?

#

God damn

quartz ember
#

high card meta

signal frigate
mortal nimbus
#

yeah, I only got a single Gold stake win when that was the case

willow frost
#

i am not paying 11 dollars for choose 1 of 2 cards

acoustic kettle
#

One booster pack in shop

signal frigate
#

Consensus on no big blind reward for Blue Stake?

#

Welp ante 12 boss, i took +1 joker -2 handsize

deft panther
#

#

But is it better than current blue stake?

acoustic kettle
#

Eh

unreal iron
acoustic kettle
#

No

unreal iron
#

its worse

deft panther
#

Non scaling price increase in shop > no big blind reward money

signal frigate
#

After some consideration, you might be right

acoustic kettle
#

No bb money might make skips more valuable

signal frigate
#

I don't like that idea

unreal iron
deft panther
signal frigate
#

The Gremlin's suggestion about no hand money on the other hand, any consensus on that?

acoustic kettle
signal frigate
#

Instead relying on interest money

unreal iron
#

wait no

deft panther

I would personally not remove money generation any further

Are all Balatro gameplay updates going to be free or is LocalThunk doing DLCs because he made it seem like a big deal that the next one is free

So how can I make this better, I just found an Invisible Joker so I'm considering selling Idol and looking for a natural negative one but the chance of that is so extremely low

The scale multiplies every ante past that point

  1. The Box (Rare-Legendary): Scoring cards permanently score ^2 Chip value if rank of all cards is equal to amount of cards played. (Destroyed after 2 Triggers)

the point is multiplication is associative and commutative, it doesn’t matter what order you multiply things

trib and idol are identical scoring, brainstorm has more flexibility

signal frigate

It's funny how similar Trib and Idol is, one is just more useless

You want five scorers and four triggerers right? barring a lopsided distribution of glass and red seals

If Supernova was a Chips joker instead of a Mult joker, how many chips per [times hand has been played this run] would it need to have in order to not be horribly balanced in either direction?

I was a dude who used an ankh thinking nothing of it

Well the problem was I did that and got deck down to all 9s and like 30 cards, and then I started turning them into glass cards

And they all broke

Brain only processed the information when I accidentally clicked "Next round"

So I nuked my entire joker lineup and then permanently kept it that way

I hope LocalThunk maybe later on down the line adds new decks to the game

I should learn how to mod the game and add mod decks

Jokers are more popular for modding stuff

can you even fit more decks in the game

But that also means C++ becomes even more tedious

I would be down with six new decks

five more to fill it out to 20, and one to replace nebula

it would put nebula halfway towards two fun ish vouchers while also supplementing the complete hamstringing that it does for observatory already

I always forget that nebula exists

Go for it

It's still takeable for the chips

i have gold sticker, but i am not gonna win with 5 non gold stickers

i have like 2/3 gold stickers

C++ is getting gold stake sticker on every joker right?

Doesn't that require you use a lot of bad jokers to get them the gold sticker

Or do you just buy them before the final boss to get them across the finish line

Do I get the blueprint instead of sock and buskin, for another blueprint/brainstorm later or showman? Next ante is e21, with the current build I scored e32. This run I'm going for naneinf

ye u mostly win with 3-4 actual jokers

im 4 jokers away from c++ but im not rlly going for it

then showman once you see the next copy joker

nah the legendaries i got so quick i dont think its gonna be ur last jokers

my strategy rn is trying to search for the last bad rare/ uncommon jokers i haven't gold stickered tho a lot of the time i also have to have a brick common

won't I need another copy to naneinf, when I get baron and mime?
