[mortal nimbus]

if you show us more of the screen, then maybe we can help

without more info, $10 < $13 and we can't change that

[proper bronze]

after buying the 0$ you can sell it for real money

[mortal nimbus]

at this stage, you probably can't, I'd just take scary face and hold money

[vapid grail]

for what

[mortal nimbus]

what do you mean 'for what?'

[fringe palm]

[mortal nimbus]

you need money to buy other things

[proper bronze]

maybe marble joker cause it's gay

[mortal nimbus]

other jokers that will help you more

booster packs

[vapid grail]

idk man, do i like build deck around scary face

[mortal nimbus]

hold money for interest as well

[fringe palm]

how gay but no polychrome

[mortal nimbus]

no, you don't need to build around scary face long term

[proper bronze]

holo is rainbow thus gay

[mortal nimbus]

just play into it to get through the early game

[vapid grail]

maybe i should just roll for negative egg at the start

[fringe palm]

but is like red and blue its not nearly as gay as poly

[proper bronze]

a little bit gay

like bi

[mortal nimbus]

it has chips and +10 mult, that is good enough to get you past ante 2 as is, so you can pick up other good things, or hold money to accrue interest

[fringe palm]

so much true being said

[vapid grail]

i got discount in 2nd shop

wow

[mortal nimbus]

also, you should stop skipping so much, it's generally not a great idea as you rarely get more value out of any given skip tag compared to just getting the shop 1 more time

ante 1, taking an investment tag is alright, but beyond that, a skip tag needs to really fit the situation for it to be worth it

[vapid grail]

idk man. is 4$ really better than holo joker for free?

[fringe palm]

its the looking at the shop part

[proper bronze]

yeah do not skip unless you know what you're doing

[fringe palm]

real

[vapid grail]

fair enough ig

[mortal nimbus]

seeing more shops for more opportunities for helpful stuff is more important (most of the time)

[mortal nimbus]

you also lose time by skipping (time to find stuff, but also losing time to scale jokers, generate value, etc)

[vapid grail]

do i take gift

[proper bronze]

probably gifted card or reroll

[mortal nimbus]

you can, you can still comfortably score into the future

[vapid grail]

k

[mortal nimbus]

rerolling is a bit much for no guarantee at this point

[fringe palm]

so sad cyrillic is not in pixelated font

[vapid grail]

big blind or 2x money

[mortal nimbus]

big blind

[proper bronze]

it does say it's in beta

[mortal nimbus]

don't skip

[vapid grail]

"would you rather 1$ or 2$"

[vapid grail]

big blind gives me like 8$, skip gives 14$

[proper bronze]

double it and give it to the next joker

[mortal nimbus]

you also see more of the shop, which is more important

[fringe palm]

i think you are missing that looking at the shop is generally better

[vapid grail]

looking at the shop where you cant afford anything?

[fringe palm]

shouldnt you have like 15/20 bucks by then

[vapid grail]

i have 14

[fringe palm]

at the shop?

[proper bronze]

this is probably the best example of why you shouldn't skip

[vapid grail]

after

[proper bronze]

it's round 3

[vapid grail]

i took the gift

[vale wharf]

Well, that's ths medusa challenge done 😭

[vapid grail]

dont have it unlocked, i needed royal flush achivement too much

[fringe palm]

you will have more money after the blind bro and it will scale your gift card if you do the blind as well

[fringe palm]

its pretty easy to R key for

[proper bronze]

you could get something else that is good it's not always brainstorm

[fringe palm]

yeah it could be brainstorm's slightly better partner

[vapid grail]

i got 5$ less from blind

technically 3$ less coz of joker value

[fringe palm]

uh huh

[pine drum]

Actually cooking on erratic deck

[vapid grail]

shop is awful btw

[fringe palm]

ice cream is not bad and can be sold before it melts with some gift card value

or you could buy a mars and keep it for a while

or both

[proper bronze]

ice cream is decent early on

[vapid grail]

i got blu joker

on 2nd shop

[proper bronze]

it's alright

[vapid grail]

i kinda want to get extra hand, but i will miss out on the %

[mortal nimbus]

that's fine, you don't need perfect interest every round, you can also buy it next round assuming you don't go to the next ante

[tacit quail]

man hex+ankh is fun but now im gonna be waiting for a good joker

i play 1 more

[mortal nimbus]

rental luchador right before the boss blind is fun

[tacit quail]

its psychic who cares

[vapid grail]

okayyy

so

[mortal nimbus]

i mean yeah, still a free use of a boss disable more generally

[tacit quail]

fuck oooof

[vapid grail]

there is bussines card

[tacit quail]

wraith in the 4$

[vapid grail]

but i dont have any jokers that rely on $

[tacit quail]

opening

[mortal nimbus]

you rely on $

[tacit quail]

sad

sigil ig

[proper bronze]

greedy joker easily

[tacit quail]

HERE

[vapid grail]

29 is enough

[mortal nimbus]

you don't need jokers that rely on money, when you need money

more money doesn't ever hurt

in fact, it lets you see more shops to find more tools

[vapid grail]

i lost a good run once coz of that

should've sold the egg

[mortal nimbus]

I'm gonna need more context than that

having money doesn't kill you

not spending that money does

[vapid grail]

hold on, i maybe had a ss

in steam

[mortal nimbus]

not having money to spend kills you

[vale wharf]

Medusa challenge 😭

[mortal nimbus]

having more money avoids the situation of you not having money to spend in the future when you need to work around a troublesome boss or when you find a joker that you otherwise wouldn't be able to afford

[vapid grail]

k, i dont have a ss

[tacit quail]

perkeo or skip (its guaranteed, only non gold)

[proper bronze]

medusa challenge? i used marble hologram on a normal run

[vapid grail]

basically, i had an egg worth like 50$ or smthn

[mortal nimbus]

you don't need to greed every situation, but when you get a money maker that already fits into your current method of scoring, you take it

[vapid grail]

and joker that gives mult for every 5$

[proper bronze]

also with brainstorm and dna

and something else

[vapid grail]

and then i died on the boss coz i didnt sold the egg

that's it

[mortal nimbus]

so user error, not "having more money"?

[chilly tangle]

this seed got crazier, might be able to naninf if I get enough money to serpent farm

[proper bronze]

that's me and my 2 wifes

[vapid grail]

no, the mistake was holding onto egg coz "a few more rounds, i need to get more"

[mortal nimbus]

wee baron

[proper bronze]

why is baron wee joker sized

+x2 mult for every king

[chilly tangle]

screenshot as it was activating

[mortal nimbus]

if you are desperate for scoring, then don't hold onto money, that's what you should take away from that

if you aren't desperate for scoring, and are presented with a money making opportunity, take it

egg is good if you are scoring well

[vapid grail]

i got unlucky on boss and had no clue it will spiral down that fast

[mortal nimbus]

again, that's not the fault of having more money

[vapid grail]

back to the current run

do i take bussines card

[mortal nimbus]

yes, you don't need to change a thing about what you are currently doing

you already want to be playing face cards for scoring

with business card, you make money by playing face cards

[proper bronze]

imagine if you could get loans in balatro

[floral mural]

does flint trigger matador....

[mortal nimbus]

they go together really well

[mortal nimbus]

yes

[proper bronze]

yes

[vapid grail]

gg

[proper bronze]

i remember triggering it

[floral mural]

well then id want to take it here

but there is also grabber

which im not sure ill afford if i buy matador

[proper bronze]

not the last time you see it

[floral mural]

(still about to enter small blind)

[mortal nimbus]

grabber is a tad more important here, and it is also money long term

[floral mural]

skipped matador to gurrantee the grabber

[mortal nimbus]

you def can't take both. even if you got enough money from not playing hands, you'd lose out on scaling

[tacit quail]

The cursed synergy

[mortal nimbus]

and going into the flint with less scaling isn't a good idea

[calm furnace]

scale pants more

[mortal nimbus]

you need as much as you can get at this point

[calm furnace]

ante 2 flint aint gonna do much

and i dont think matador triggers on flint

[proper bronze]

flint is dogwater

[mortal nimbus]

the things being considered are taking matador, and using less hands to garner more money to buy grabber

using more hands guarantees that both can't be taken

and matador does trigger on flint

[calm furnace]

it does????

[mortal nimbus]

it is one of the few that probably shouldn't where it actually does

[calm furnace]

lmao

[vapid grail]

those jokers sound good on paper

[calm furnace]

i will never learn what matador triggers on

[proper bronze]

yeah flint technically triggers on a played hand

[mortal nimbus]

constellation is really good, especially with this much money

[calm furnace]

gg you won with const

[vapid grail]

whats const

[calm furnace]

constellation

[mortal nimbus]

trading card is also good for deck thinning (this makes any individual card much easier to draw)

[floral mural]

so castle is definitely the play despite burglar being a good joker

[calm furnace]

sell blue joker

[vapid grail]

r u sure

[calm furnace]

thin the deck

play 3oak/4oak

win

[calm furnace]

blue joker has anti synergy with trading card

[vapid grail]

gift value

[mortal nimbus]

you are getting chips from scary face at this point, and with more incentive to buy planets, blue joker does less overall

[calm furnace]

just play face cards for chips

cut non face cards

[chilly tangle]

i wish matador would flash active on the boss blinds it works on since it doesn't work on all of them and it'd be a nice qol thing

[calm furnace]

and focus on playing 3oak of face cards

[mortal nimbus]

this is a case where potential value is less important than future scoring security

[calm furnace]

venus is so strong you only need few levels in it

[vapid grail]

how do i replace all my cards with face cards now? i see ppl do it all the time on reddit/yt

[mortal nimbus]

even on some of the blinds where it can trigger, you can only trigger on half your hands

[calm furnace]

you can win with just a fat constellation and levelled up venus/mars

[proper bronze]

tarot cards arcana packs

[vapid grail]

so i js use as many planet cards as possible?

[calm furnace]

yes

[proper bronze]

spectral packs

[calm furnace]

each planet card is +0.1 xmult

[vapid grail]

thats gonna be painful

[proper bronze]

hanged man too

[vapid grail]

fuh

[mortal nimbus]

you don't need every single card to be a face card, and seeing more shops allows you to see these cards more often

[calm furnace]

you dont need to replace all face cards just be sure to have 6+ of one face card

this guarantees 2 3oak per round

[calm furnace]

trading card will make finding the right hand easy

[vapid grail]

so i take both trading and const?

[calm furnace]

yes

trading card thins the deck and gives money to buy planet cards

[vapid grail]

maybe i should go for standart

[calm furnace]

also open card packs and shoot for a blue or purple seal

[vapid grail]

for some face card

[calm furnace]

blue seal would make scaling the constellation consistent

[proper bronze]

something like dna and just don't worry about other cards

[calm furnace]

take purple

[vapid grail]

i mean

[calm furnace]

hope for deaths hangman and strength

[proper bronze]

purple seal

[vapid grail]

its a purple seal, but its a glass card

[calm furnace]

doesnt matter its there to be discarded

[vapid grail]

should i js delete number cards now

[proper bronze]

you can play and discard it and still get something

[vapid grail]

using trading card joker

[calm furnace]

and if you ever run into glass joker

[proper bronze]

it's the best card in the pack

[calm furnace]

can kill it wirh trading card for guanranted.75 mult

[vapid grail]

do i discard 4

like

sell

permanently

[calm furnace]

discard 5

[vapid grail]

who 5 tho

[proper bronze]

numbers

[vapid grail]

i got another 5

[calm furnace]

you wanna draw Js and Qs

[tacit quail]

i don think i make it guys

proc 20 twice please

[proper bronze]

that's me

[calm furnace]

also focus on Js since they are easy

strength on 10 gives Js

[tacit quail]

W0W

wowie

proced 1 20

its cool

[vapid grail]

im pretty sure that's it

[calm furnace]

fortune teller my goat

[vapid grail]

wrong ss

[pine drum]

Should i risk and sell the blue for the mega spectral?

[calm furnace]

why did you discard the J and Q?

[tacit quail]

opportunity: gold stake an extra joker by getting rid of 1 abstract joker (i just bought observatory for the 1.5x mult on the planet card, so basically i lose nothing, and gold on drunkard

[vapid grail]

i played q

and rest didnt had anything to go with it

[tacit quail]

goofy ass joker setup

[calm furnace]

you wanna play 3 or 4 Qs

because rhose hands score well

[vapid grail]

i guess i should play for flush now

[calm furnace]

not pairs

you have a mars card

also consume all the planet cards

[vapid grail]

its like 6$

[calm furnace]

asap

[vapid grail]

uranus is 3

[tacit quail]

drunkard, jolly joker, abstract joker --> gold staked
76->79

[calm furnace]

bruhhh

[vapid grail]

okayyyyy

[calm furnace]

you wanna score

[calm furnace]

not make money

with constellation you wanna eat every single planet card

[proper bronze]

having planet cards in the inventory is diabolical

[vapid grail]

1.4x is not that much

[calm furnace]

without constellation not really

[tacit quail]

its the x1.5

[calm furnace]

with consrellation yeah

[tacit quail]

it is at the end of scoring it is big

[icy hollow]

even with constellation. you can just hold it to block a hand you dont need. no reason to preemtively use it if youre overscoring anyways 🤷‍♂️

[vale wharf]

What the fuck is this challenge

[tacit quail]

y

[proper bronze]

double or nothing

[calm furnace]

if its a shit planet card yeah but they had mars

[warped crown]

this will be brutal

[vapid grail]

fuck this shit man, i will just go play on red deck

[warped crown]

red deck is boring af why would u play that

[vapid grail]

rest is unplayable

[vapid grail]

easy to understand

[warped crown]

erratic and plasma are fun af

[calm furnace]

a hand is a paid discard

[vale wharf]

It seems impossible

[proper bronze]

john deck

[vapid grail]

i dont have those

[warped crown]

none of theem are too complicated

[icy hollow]

just dont play a build that requires card effect scoring

[proper bronze]

blue deck is like cool

[icy hollow]

which is a standard build

[warped crown]

erratic is ur deck of 52 cards has random cards
plasma at the end of getting all ur mult and chips it gets divided between them like if u had 2 x 5 itll be 3 x 3

[warped crown]

ur cool

[floral mural]

i did skip twice this run

[proper bronze]

thank you

[floral mural]

one with a free double tag from a rental cola and a handy tag and the other to ensure blackboard lasts until ante 8

[vapid grail]

[latent egret]

[vapid grail]

🙁

[latent egret]

guarantees you to survive until its gone

[tacit quail]

Wait im good

[floral mural]

but that also means i can skip the boring stakes

[floral mural]

and plasma i did on pc gold stake so really im 4 away

nebula zodiac erratic and anaglyph. zodiacs the only fun one for me ngl

[vapid grail]

ok i lost

[floral mural]

considering the joker setup im seeing there im not surprised

4 early game scoring options

and chad with nothing good to retrigger

[clear mulch]

the chips 😔

dont go all mult 😢

[proper bronze]

hi eva!!!

[floral mural]

[proper bronze]

leblueprint

[eager galleon]

Suddenly, Russian

Crazy how any font works with balatro

[calm furnace]

[floral mural]

just dont take it but also i dee the 3 glass cards protecting you from plant

youre fine

[calm furnace]

i never run photochad without glass

[boreal hamlet]

Am I SOL?

[eager galleon]

Oh no, my worst nightmare
The 🌱

[calm furnace]

i just wanna beat the flush photochad brainrot allegations

[calm furnace]

easiest boss in the game to defeat

the plant only kills meme baron endless runs

[eager galleon]

idk what I'm supposed to pick from here-

[floral mural]

which do i play next i guess

[boreal hamlet]

Me neither

[floral mural]

do i do nebula to get it over with

[pine drum]

Proud of this run. Extremely fun. Never thought i would make a 5 of a kind build work

[eager galleon]

Which is something that I can never do
I'm horrible at deck fixing-

[proper bronze]

all my homies hate the plant!!

[calm furnace]

just get glass

[eager galleon]

Y'all just flexing your nitro atp-

[boreal hamlet]

Any advice for my hand?

[proper bronze]

[eager galleon]

STOP IT

[eager galleon]

OLD MAN?!

[proper bronze]

yo that's me

[worn drum]

Just beat gold stake red deck

What deck should I do next

[proper bronze]

blue

[worn drum]

Lmao fair enough

Man blue stack actually mattering is gonna suck

[calm furnace]

resident brain rot flush addict

[vale shale]

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What we thinking bout.

[boreal hamlet]

None ? 😭

[worn drum]

Dumbest build that's taken my past gold stake ever

I picked up a banana hoping to take it past but that mf died round 1

Scoring was from photograph but I dropped it since it already had a sticker

[jagged cliff]

bros just like me fr fr

[worn drum]

And food jokers are usually the hardest to take past the finish line I imagine

[calm furnace]

you have the two goats of xmult

[worn drum]

Yes lmao

Also observatory

[eager galleon]

Place your Driver's license and throwback to the far right, discard until you get a hearts flush

[worn drum]

So those mercuries were another 2.25

[floral mural]

ghost

[calm furnace]

btw chat i have to admit this

[eager galleon]

I love holograph so much

[worn drum]

The run felt like cheating ngl

[calm furnace]

one time I bought both eternal vampire and license in the same shop

talk about synergy

[worn drum]

Anyway off to blue deck I go

[calm furnace]

play painted

[proper bronze]

yeah painted deck is goated

[jagged cliff]

Nahhh, painted sucks

worst deck in the game

[calm furnace]

bro hates winning

[proper bronze]

hand size>>>>joker slots

[calm furnace]

fr

[jagged cliff]

Black Deck Gold Stake > Painted deck

[calm furnace]

low quality bait

[worn drum]

Honestly might

[winged vault]

when bait was believeable

[jagged cliff]

it aint bait, I dont like painted, I think it sucks, after gold staking it I never went back

[worn drum]

I've only beaten red, ghost, zodiac and anaglyph

What's the strategy on painted deck?

[calm furnace]

its one of the strongest decks in the game

[worn drum]

Tired of spamming pairs honestly

[calm furnace]

anything goes

[winged vault]

other than plasma

[calm furnace]

but 3oak 4oak are so much easier on painted

[worn drum]

Can I get a straight build going on gold stake

[jagged cliff]

I'll stick to my goat

[calm furnace]

you can too

[worn drum]

Okay I'm sold

[calm furnace]

its just easier to deck fix for 4oak

[worn drum]

Painted deck it is for my next gold stake

Makes sense

Straights for lower stakes ig

[calm furnace]

the first time i beat painted on gold was with baron 😭

[worn drum]

I think I've only beaten painted one time, and that was to unlock invis

[eager galleon]

I absloutley love Ba-Ba... Bal-Balaal. Balalal? Balaalalato-

[worn drum]

Anyway off to grind painted deck then

[proper bronze]

balala

[calm furnace]

just focus on big hands that scale well and you gucci

you can beat gold stake with one scoring joker if you have mars or venus levelled up

[proper bronze]

that's why i always say bazingo instead cause its easier to spell

[winged vault]

I'm fucking lagging like crazy

jesus christ

ante 32 is the finisher boss ante right?

[proper bronze]

39

[winged vault]

that's not what I'm asking about

[proper bronze]

oh like the boss boss ante?

like ante 8

[winged vault]

I know that boss blinds in multiples of ante 8 only have finishing boss blinds

the big boi ones

32 is the last one, right?

[proper bronze]

i don't really know

[jagged cliff]

8, 16, 24, 32

[winged vault]

thanks

[proper bronze]

you can't go to 40

[winged vault]

i know

[proper bronze]

without

[jagged cliff]

[steel mesa]

Easy peasy lemon squeeze

[jagged cliff]

goated goated

[steel mesa]

With only tris

[calm furnace]

MAKE IT STOP

[twin lantern]

The answer is replace photo

I figured it out

After testing

Nope Chad

My b

[proper bronze]

didn't i say replace chad

oh wait i didn't

sorry

[winged vault]

smh my head

[wanton breach]

Should've build some glass cards

[proper bronze]

that's me

[twin lantern]

No one said anything

Ever

[wanton breach]

Unfortunately. But thanks for your service, Mrs. Blueprint

[proper bronze]

you asked do i take sock i said yeah ofc

[calm furnace]

i lost but not even mad

[proper bronze]

no problem

[calm furnace]

fuck me another flush build

no escape

[winged vault]

nope

didn't make it pass ante 31

[wanton breach]

Flush build is only good in early

[twin lantern]

Do show

[winged vault]

I should have skipped to the boss blind. But even then, it's certain I won't make it pass ante 32 boss blind without serpent

[proper bronze]

i love dna

[wanton breach]

I always wanted to do flush five build but always get directed to something else

[winged vault]

so, ripperoni pepperoni to me

I'm going to bed

night

[proper bronze]

good night

[wanton breach]

Build towards wild, it's funny

[twin lantern]

BARON RUN

[twin lantern]

Oh wait

[wanton breach]

Sock and photo is already good

[twin lantern]

I think if I took holo I would instantly die

Because if I sold anything other than DNA I wouldn’t have enough scoring

[wanton breach]

Extra hand size is funny

[twin lantern]

And it only would scale with DNA

so that’s off the table

So it’s got to be mime gamble for baron

Or nothing

[twin lantern]

Yeah I forgot about my purple seals

*seels

🦭

[wanton breach]

I never take mime if i want to play scored cards

[proper bronze]

[wanton breach]

It's negative

[twin lantern]

Yeah

[proper bronze]

oh it looks like normal

[twin lantern]

[proper bronze]

[twin lantern]

My normal cards are

Photo, sock, brain, blue, and dna

[wanton breach]

Dna is the one who should go

[twin lantern]

WHAT

[wanton breach]

Use death and standart pack method

[twin lantern]

That’s fair

Chat do we agree?

[wanton breach]

You're supposed to intentionally kill your run

[rugged elbow]

Is seal a good joker? Red seal farm for ballot or?

Should just get bloodstone

[wanton breach]

The best worst way to win with a fib and square

[proper bronze]

the 🦭 joker

[wanton breach]

Bloodstone will carry you more

[proper bronze]

🦭🃏

[rugged elbow]

Yes it gives 1 🦭 every turn

[proper bronze]

awesome

[gusty orbit]

fml, i cant get any good cards that go well with perkero or even good at sustaining in general

gatowtf

[wanton breach]

That perkeo is one blind away from being beheaded lol

[gusty orbit]

nah i will buy some random card for sacrifice

[wanton breach]

If you wanna play perkeo you should have a good money joker

[gusty orbit]

hmmmm

[wanton breach]

Well, every run should have a good money maker joker

[gusty orbit]

well i got the money tree voucher so i should be making some from interests but yeah good idea

[wanton breach]

Good luck saving your money

[gusty orbit]

....orrrrr

just spam this money generator

[proper bronze]

basically midas mask paraedolia

[twin lantern]

I’m so sad rn

It’s over

I killed so many cards

And yet

It wasn’t enough

I should have kept idol

[proper bronze]

gg

[twin lantern]

I’m mad af

[rugged elbow]

This yorick is outscaled by the afternoon card?

[proper bronze]

that's x361 mult if combined with me

[rugged elbow]

?

[proper bronze]

with blueprint

i'm blueprint

[rugged elbow]

Who should I blueprint

Which is the best blueprint card here

Bloodstone?

[proper bronze]

yorick

[obsidian patrol]

Copy redcard ✅

[proper bronze]

copy jupiter

[rugged elbow]

So I dont buy dusk

[wicked sonnet]

what i do here

yorick at 6x

[obsidian patrol]

Kill rick

[wicked sonnet]

deck fixed fully to hearts

[proper bronze]

kill 1 yorick but me

buy

[wicked sonnet]

ok

[calm furnace]

lol

i dunno why i even picked the soul card

[proper bronze]

yeah definitely yorick

it's more than bloodstone

[calm furnace]

no legendary would have helped me here

[proper bronze]

what's red card at

that's me

[mortal nimbus]

does it matter at this point? it activates after all the triggers of Bloodstone and Photograph, rendering it pretty unimportant

[obsidian patrol]

Eternal 4 fingers was certainley a choice

[mortal nimbus]

it doesn't help your scoring that much

and locks you out of certain boss counterplay which, assuming you are playing flushes, is quite important

[proper bronze]

me when i have 5 double tags

[mortal nimbus]

cool?

not sure of the relevancy is, most skip tags don't make the boss blind easier and it's not like you can choose when the helpful ones appear

[lunar zealot]

four fingers on a bloodstone build is

Really dumb i cannot lie

ff is a bad joker in general

[wicked sonnet]

i just had a 4 fingers bloodstone build lol

but the 4 fingers was nat neg so that's the only reason i kept it

[lunar zealot]

it's antisynergistic, really

[wicked sonnet]

yeah

[mortal nimbus]

yeah, in an ideal world, you aren't actually utilising fingers

[wicked sonnet]

but temperance value tho

[mortal nimbus]

yeah, any other joker does that

[deft panther]

If you're not dipping into your hands digging for a royal flush every single round then you're not playing with a winner's mindset

[wicked sonnet]

flush five 🔥

i got yorick instead of trib if i had trib i would've gone so much farther

[mortal nimbus]

I will say I have legitimately used four fingers to avoid unlocking 5oak instead of flush 5 for a run on gold stake

that is actually something I did

[wicked sonnet]

but two x15 yorick's didn't actually move the needle

[mortal nimbus]

also used ouija and sigil before that

[weak relic]

So true

[wicked sonnet]

i have like four jokers left to unlock but they're annoying ones

[vapid grail]

r/suddenlyrussian

[wicked sonnet]

play 4 club 7s

[weak relic]

[proper bronze]

i'm so tired

[pale wolf]

https://www.balatrodle.com/ spoilers for an answer in two

[proper bronze]

||my 2 favorite jokers||

[weak relic]

Throwback best xmult frfr

[pale wolf]

sometimes

{and by sometimes i mean never)

[mortal nimbus]

it really shouldn't just be worse than madness in almost every way

scales slower, and removes a decent chunk of shops from the run

[calm furnace]

if it was 0.5 per skip it would be decent

[mortal nimbus]

madness' drawback is just you lose a joker randomly (with workarounds), Throwback's drawback is you lose 50-60% of the gameplay to gain a tiny amount of mult

[calm furnace]

doesnt help that 95% of skip tags are not worth it

[mortal nimbus]

yeah, gaining .25x doesn't fix any skips

[calm furnace]

but even if skip tags were buffed 0.25x mult is not worth it

not only you lose shops but lose potential scaling and eco at the same time

[mortal nimbus]

I think it could be .75, once per ante

[calm furnace]

0.5 is fine for me

2x mult is nice to have

and i can skip 2 on average in a run

[pale wolf]

this Joker gains 0.75 for every auntie with a skipped blind in it this run

ante

[gusty orbit]

for every auntie

we all skipping our aunites

[mortal nimbus]

it could be that, or variable amounts for the small/big blind

[calm furnace]

0.5x mult per skip and improved skip tags is enough

now make the joker tags guaranteed not to have a sticker

[mortal nimbus]

even that doesn't fix the rarity based joker tags

[calm furnace]

still makes em suck less

[mortal nimbus]

it makes the editions significantly more worth it early

[calm furnace]

sometimes i skip for uncommon if i have baseball and really need that 1.5x

[mortal nimbus]

the main issue with the rarity skips is that most of them have no actual application

[calm furnace]

skipping for a rare would be slightly more worth it if i can guarantee it will last and not be rental

[pale wolf]

I don't think making Joker skip tags or any of the other tags better is the solution, that just makes you less encouraged to play the game when you don't even have throwback, I think there should just be more reasons to skip in general outside of throwback for its retroactive property to be used

[calm furnace]

an early fam trio etc.. can allow you to shape the run

[proper bronze]

i sure love getting hit the road as my free rare

[pale wolf]

situations where skipping is more of a gameplay decision and less of a give me free thing

[mortal nimbus]

HtR on Abandoned is fun (it can actually be used more reliably than you think)

[pale wolf]

htr is good

[mortal nimbus]

Ancient joker is one of the few jokers that actually interacts with skipping in a way that matters

[calm furnace]

htr is okay blue stake sucks

[pale wolf]

even on abandoned sometimes

[mortal nimbus]

#🎙・server-chat message

I had this before which is what I was recalling

about 30% of my deck was jacks

[calm furnace]

hrt just suffers from the -1 discard thats it

[mortal nimbus]

yeah, blue stake is just killer for a lot of things

[pale wolf]

idk -1 discard is all I ever played so it just seems normal

[proper bronze]

ugh bye chat i'm tired as hell

[calm furnace]

ethereal should open a mega spectral pack not the small one

ortbital would be a good skip if it always picked your most played hand

[mortal nimbus]

it just widens the gap between playing pairs/high card/two pair and anything else on gold stake

[mortal nimbus]

high card is often the most played hand when it comes to using anything but pairs

[pale wolf]

and it's not like there's much reason to play full House on low stakes either, so really just flush and straight suffer

[calm furnace]

handy and garbage could also be buffed to 2$ per hand/discard

now improve the tags and we be skipping

[pale wolf]

and I still feel like there's plenty of opportunity to Play both of those hands

[calm furnace]

also for some reason ethereal doesnt boost red card or pop hallucination

which just makes it extra ass

[pale wolf]

I've never heard of that

[calm furnace]

nvm im dumb

the reroll skip is not free skip?

has anyone double tagged into d6 how does it work

[pale wolf]

I believe it does for two shops

Not entirely sure because nobody takes decks

d6

[mortal nimbus]

I can check rq

[calm furnace]

yeah i dont think i ever took d6 and im a skipper

[mortal nimbus]

trying to get it unmodded just to avoid any potential weirdness

taking a while

[calm furnace]

lemme check the wiki

wait

sheeesh

never knew that

lmao

they were even more ass

[mortal nimbus]

yeah, it was something

Oops carry

[pale wolf]

you'd think after being made 4 times better polychrome tag would be useable
then again thats before rental stickers and i think perishable too?

[mortal nimbus]

forget if oops was even in that demo, I really only played the september one

or even when that demo was released

[calm furnace]

omg

god bless you thunk for that

[pale wolf]

i wish i knew when orbital tags got fixed so they dont reroll

somewhere in these was a bug fix

[calm furnace]

lets go dna killed my run

[mortal nimbus]

alright, about to get double D6

[pale wolf]

record

[mortal nimbus]

on it

[slate lance]

Playing zodiac deck is way less boring than i thought itd be

[mortal nimbus]

it just uses it the next time you enter the shop from the cashout screen

[pale wolf]

nice

[pale wolf]

wtf is this build

[mortal nimbus]

white stake plasma

got stuntman first shop so I just rolled with it

I was initially trying to get either Double tag -> D6 or D6 -> D6 on ante 1, settled for just getting a double tag and taking the first D6 I found

I just so happened to get Stuntman on plasma

made it easy to cruise

Anyway, can we get 300 chip stuntman back

[pale wolf]

-3 hand size

[latent egret]

i feel like astronomer should be 7$

or even 6

[pale wolf]

astronomer is already net positive pretty quickly

[mortal nimbus]

blackboard doesn't need to be even better

[latent egret]

because its so much less value than like golden joker

or almost any econ

besides del grat

[lunar zealot]

Ello ello

[mortal nimbus]

it's more directed than any other econ joker, sure, not less value

[lunar zealot]

It dies to vv

[pale wolf]

I feel like if you reroll three or four times per shop astronomy is worth more than golden

[latent egret]

really its the low amount of planet packs

it can pay itself off on a single planet pack but taking it as an eternal i would almost never do, unless i got telescope (and planet tycoon)

[mortal nimbus]

does it die now?

[latent egret]

while im glad to take almost any other value gen as eternals

[mortal nimbus]

got bones next reroll

[latent egret]

maybe its okay for some jokers to be worse idk

[pale wolf]

All right, folks, welcome back, this is balatro, everyday

[pale wolf]

ante 39 here we come

I should do the Mr Bones glitch just once

seems fun

[mortal nimbus]

it's rather inconsistent, but ruining the stat screen is fun

[pale wolf]

doc makes such interesting decisions

I totally would have strengthened one of the pairs

and I don't know what he actually gets out of turning a queen into a king

wtf is this

[slate lance]

Superposition is fun but it blocks my blue seals and half the time it doesn't give me anything that good

[queen kindle]

this game is taunting me

[slate lance]

Im thinking getting lucky cat instead

[pale wolf]

oh but yeah it's black deck taking that would kill you likely

[pale wolf]

seems valid if you have lucky cards

[shell dagger]

crimson heart my ass

[slate lance]

Yea half my higher cards are lucky lol

[queen kindle]

zany joker in the buffoon pack

[pale wolf]

do what to your what

[queen kindle]

wait i stand corrected

this was in the buffoon pack

[shell dagger]

not debuff anything apparently

[calm furnace]

i dont think i ever lost a gold run with campfire

[lunar zealot]

Can i say something

[queen kindle]

THE DEMONS

[calm furnace]

pair at lvl7 and still was enough to beat viollet vessel

campfire so goated fr fr

[lunar zealot]

I would totally wheel here

[shell dagger]

no

[pale wolf]

You literally can't

😭

[shell dagger]

i would priestess or strength a pair

[lunar zealot]

I cant read im a balatro player

[pale wolf]

Lil bro his controller is unplugged

he has fun anyways though

[lunar zealot]

FUCK OFF

[calm furnace]

its funny how gold stake somehow ends up buffing some jokers

[pale wolf]

[lunar zealot]

they need to invent a machine for people like you

[mortal nimbus]

It makes Gold stake so much more interesting than Orange stake

[pale wolf]

turning two fours into two fives seems like the ideal scenario, or one of them

[calm furnace]

yep. some jokers becoming way better makes it more interesting

live love rentals

hallucination

[mortal nimbus]

campfire goes through the roof

[calm furnace]

uhm any joker that adds a card

[mortal nimbus]

even more affordable fuel

[calm furnace]

becomes free card

like dna is actually less ass if i get to copy one good card for free

heck sometimes can take faceless or rebate on rental and just discard and sell

[shell dagger]

imo chaos is usually good enough to keep for multiple rounds so idk about that

[calm furnace]

a rental choas?

[shell dagger]

no

chaos in general which is why idt gold stake buffs chaos

[mortal nimbus]

rental chaos is net positive compared to stickerless chaos for like 2 shops, then it becomes worse, so just selling after one or two uses is ideal

[calm furnace]

technichally rental choas is money positive

if you above interest

[queen kindle]

hngg

[shell dagger]

i keep chaos for > 2 rounds is my point

[pale wolf]

The only reason to not keep chaos is if you're re-rolling enough that the chances are high you'll see another one

and that is endless mode stuff

[calm furnace]

im only keeping choas if i find it and im done with the shop

[shell dagger]

yeah

[queen kindle]

oh its fucking joever

[mortal nimbus]

stickerless chaos is a fine keep for most of a run, effectively just under $5 a round

[queen kindle]

fuck it im playing all the kings

[calm furnace]

can be a good tag along for 1-2 shops

[pale wolf]

Play the club not the diamond

[shell dagger]

over

[queen kindle]

uah

[pale wolf]

yeah it's strictly above $5 of value

[calm furnace]

i keep choas with me if i have a flash card

[mortal nimbus]

max of 5, due to that being the max reroll value, less due to rerolls not always resulting in something

[calm furnace]

but i rarely ever have flash card

[shell dagger]

no

[mortal nimbus]

is there something else moneywise I'm missing

[pale wolf]

How is the max reroll value 5

[shell dagger]

it makes your most expensive roll free

[mortal nimbus]

oh

yeah

I need to sleep, chaos 10 rolls deep is good

[calm furnace]

wait if you have choas and showman

and another choas shows up

thats another free reroll right?

[shell dagger]

and rerolls not always resulting in something is not that relevant bc at the end of the day the roll would’ve been dud regardless of how you generated money for that roll

[pale wolf]

The irony of chaos is that his value increases the more you keep him, but if you sell him when you're rerolling a lot, you could get even MORE value running into another one

this is why showman is the best Joker in the game

[mortal nimbus]

yeah, buying chaos while you have an 'already-used' chaos gives you another freeroll

[calm furnace]

thats cool

[mortal nimbus]

and I think having 2 chaos' just gives you 2 freerolls

they don't overlap, they just queue

[pale wolf]

I believe so

[calm furnace]

oh i wish knew that

had a run with poly choas that i could have anhked

but chose not to

[floral mural]

i once took an eternal chaos and it was pretty good

especially early when it acts as a functional overstock plus

[calm furnace]

its a good joker

and great card design

whats not to love

[pale wolf]

chaos has questionable political views

[mortal nimbus]

back to this, holding chaos through rounds is max of $5 a round, due to not being able to set a reroll higher than that to $0, a single instance of chaos can be much more

[calm furnace]

he seems kinda leftist to me

man of the people

[pale wolf]

The money you save is on the most expensive reroll, because you were going to take the cheapest rerolls anyways up until that point

[mortal nimbus]

right, that is how that works

[abstract zenith]

Is there any way to remove a Joker’s enhancement besides selling or destroying it and then buying it back to re-enhance it?

[pale wolf]

if you never reroll then yes $5 minimum per round
unless you have a d6 tag or reroll.vouchers

[pale wolf]

no, and its editions on jokers not enhancements

[abstract zenith]

I see

[mortal nimbus]

$(5+n) (where n is the number of rerolls)
