Castle good

[shell dagger]

ive managed full castle scaling by the end of a run before

[serene forge]

remember that squonkler is +16 a round at max efficiency

[shell dagger]

with 3 discards

[languid pecan]

Who said anything like that

[pale wolf]

you can easily start getting big castle scaling even midgame

well not easily but feasibly

[wintry ice]

i've had castle runs where it got to +500

[heady narwhal]

all of the chips scalers give about +15 per round if you don't do anything to make them go faster

[crystal field]

imma take this to heart

[wintry ice]

outside of checkered

[heady narwhal]

castle can go faster if you get extra discards, handsize, or suitfixing

[languid pecan]

The nice thing about castle is it's not a hand scaler do you can technically one shot and not have to lose value

[eternal anchor]

what is this Joker's name

[heady narwhal]

it's not that hard to get one of those things

[white zodiac]

here’s my reasonable interpretation for castle scaling.

3 chips per suit card
2 discards
4 suits
8 hand size

on average, 2 cards in your hand will have your castle suit. you have 2 discards. you’re at worst going to obtain 12 chips which doesn’t include playing throwaway pairs to find more suits for a reasonable 18-24 chips per round assuming all of your throwaway suit hands are not castle suits

that’s not mentioning castle looks at your deck so suit fixing increases its scaling ceiling

[pale wolf]

Acrobat

[rough prairie]

Hah, when you accidentally play a Flush House and die to the final boss because you're an idiot who doesn't pay attention

[shell dagger]

checkered deck 2

[wintry ice]

checkered deck if it locked in

[pale wolf]

bruised deck

[heady narwhal]

in my experience i discard 5-6 castle cards per round

[eternal anchor]

No I think this is something Acrobat related but it's not strictly called Acrobat

[crystal field]

i will take your advice and next time I get castle ill see if all the other times i had it i was just using it incorrectly despite doing this and seemingly whiffing on my castle suits

[lunar zealot]

Also castle is fucking uncommon

just saying

[eternal anchor]

uhhh, Taborca?

[wintry ice]

ok bbc fan

[hybrid tendon]

bbc value we know

[lunar zealot]

it's the only uncommon non retroactive scaling +chips

[pale wolf]

theyre just chillin

[heady narwhal]

she HATES hiker

(based)

[eternal anchor]

how many of these are there omg 😂

[lunar zealot]

Oh right that

[white zodiac]

it’s essentially squimbo with slightly higher initial card variance with a higher ceiling than squimbo

by no means could you reasonably call castle a bad chip scaler when they’re hard to come by

[languid pecan]

Castle feels like a real balanced joker imo

[shell dagger]

i love hiker ❤️

[pale wolf]

that's it besides an upsidedown default acrobat

[heady narwhal]

wonder what'll happen when +1 discard

[wintry ice]

there's a limit to how bad a scaling chip joker can be because of how scarce they are

[terse vale]

the acrobats are cute

[heady narwhal]

i think the limit is hiker and hiker is really bad

mainly because it's not handtype agnostic

[languid pecan]

50% more discard is gonna go so crazy

[wintry ice]

hiker is just weird

[terse vale]

idk if these are masks or if its headgear
I think masks

would make sense

[rough prairie]

Hiker is kinda nice in that the effect stays after you get rid of it

[wintry ice]

benefits more from large hands but large hands don't need those chips

[royal ore]

omg thank god

[heady narwhal]

tbf i don't think i'll be getting 50% more chips from castle

[shell dagger]

yea there are diminishing returns bc the deck draws without replacement

[languid pecan]

Don't hit the 1/4 crimson

[heady narwhal]

drawing 5 more cards each round means you can probably expect 1-2 extra castle discards? maybe?

[white zodiac]

2 on average

more with a fixed deck

[languid pecan]

Depends too on if all your castle cards are hiding behind the other suits, you're forgetting they like to be quirky

[royal ore]

DIDNT EVEN NEED THE DIRECTORS CUT

[pale wolf]

yyyea

[serene forge]

checkered deck if it was remotely good

[pale wolf]

i could be silly

[royal ore]

INSANE LOYALTY CARD TIMING LMAO

-# (only using loyalty card for baseball card value)

[modest spade]

Loyalty Card haters when it shows up right before a boss that would kill them

[proper flame]

Cavendish my beloved

my Banana.

Also, yet another abstract joker victory

[white zodiac]

checkered if i was colorblind

[proper flame]

deadass might be the joker ive won with the most

[brazen island]

loyalty card fans cherry picking the one in 10,000 use case in which loyalty card actually becomes somewhat useful

[royal ore]

actually insane setup here (ignore castle i got that later for baseball card value)

[serene forge]

castle catching strays wtf

[modest spade]

I love cherry picking

[proper flame]

Average 8 ante run

[white zodiac]

average?

[crystal field]

it sucks

[white zodiac]

hmm?

[proper flame]

Castle is great

dont diss castle in my presence

[modest spade]

Castle is good

[serene forge]

nope

[proper flame]

top 3 chip joker easily

[crystal field]

i do not like castle

[serene forge]

if it was average it would have upgraded pairs

[proper flame]

You should be discarding anyways.

[bright canopy]

I’m in an insane trib run rn

[serene forge]

then say that

[crystal field]

square, runner, bull, wee

[proper flame]

bro said square

this has to be bait!

runner bull and wee are great though

[white zodiac]

square makes sense

[brazen island]

square is the goat chip joker wym

[lunar zealot]

Easiest run today

[crystal field]

square is way better than castle even if you think castle is good

[royal ore]

square is peak

[serene forge]

clown to clown communication:

[crystal field]

like be fuckin serious

[fiery nymph]

stuntman stuntman stuntman

[lunar zealot]

literally every scaling +chips joker is good everyone shut up

[brazen island]

meh

[serene forge]

kami look at this

[proper flame]

yes stuntman is one of the best chip jokers in the game too

[lunar zealot]

literally everyone shut up

[royal ore]

square + rtb has carried so many of my runs

[serene forge]

fuck you

[proper flame]

havent had much experience w/ it though

[serene forge]

go take a nap

[lunar zealot]

square is consistent

[modest spade]

No idk, Square and Castle are abt on par

[crystal field]

castle best as xmult for bbc

[lunar zealot]

runner has high ceilings

castle is uncommon

bull is retroactive

wee is wee

[proper flame]

best thing about castle is that it synergizes with all hands

[crystal field]

uncommon

[fiery nymph]

my personal fav is wee or stuntman

[crystal field]

see kami understand

[serene forge]

a lot of jokers do

[lunar zealot]

Literally its best quality

[crystal field]

TY

[royal ore]

castle is good because it isn't showman

[proper flame]

Runner is obviously straight/straight flush exclusive
Square only works with pair, two pair, or high card

[lunar zealot]

and i don't mean it as an insult

[acoustic kettle]

Hiker my goat

[proper flame]

All have uses

[white zodiac]

all chip scalers are hand agnostic

[heady narwhal]

castle has a pretty nice ceiling i think

[serene forge]

runner is not a straight joker

[royal ore]

3oak 4oak

[fiery nymph]

wait is wee not literally the highest scaling one

[lunar zealot]

being both a scaling +chips joker and an uncommon is one of the best things you can have

[proper flame]

forgot about those

[crystal field]

bull also uncommon btw

[heady narwhal]

when i lock in i usually get it to +300~400

[lunar zealot]

as typically bbc runs struggle for chips

[shell dagger]

Runner is only a straight joker on plasma deck

[heady narwhal]

i think bull is kind of mid

[brazen island]

runner can still be super playable with pairs

[shell dagger]

Bull is

[heady narwhal]

i'll use it but like ehh

[lunar zealot]

Bbc also necessitates econ

[crystal field]

worse than the castle???

[proper flame]

It applies chips at all times yes but you need to play straights often to scale it

[acoustic kettle]

Hiker with reteiggers

[fiery nymph]

ive never used bull what does it do 🥀

[heady narwhal]

yeah

[serene forge]

yeah so, not a straight joker

[shell dagger]

2 chips for every dolla saved

[fiery nymph]

oh

[balmy ridge]

2 chips per dollar

[fiery nymph]

well

[heady narwhal]

bull is expensive

[fiery nymph]

erm

[brazen island]

gay runner

[fiery nymph]

ig

but

[proper flame]

its a joker that requires you to play a lot of straights to get significant chips

[balmy ridge]

i like bull

[brazen island]

bull is opportunity cost

[fiery nymph]

wee lowk scales faster than that does it not

[lunar zealot]

Castle is totally fine lmao

[serene forge]

and then what

you play a hand and get your chips anyways

[balmy ridge]

situational

[lunar zealot]

wee scales faster than every chips joker in the game

[shell dagger]

high end nah

[fiery nymph]

okay thats what i thought

[lunar zealot]

keyword meaning faster

in that it has incredibly high instantaneous ceilings

[serene forge]

you said yourself square joker can be a pair joker

[proper flame]

if you find runner early enough to get any good scaling out of it, you have to usually spend most of your discards to even find a straight, so youre encouraged to do a straight run anyways (Great hand btw)

[hybrid tendon]

only like 8 to start being good

[heady narwhal]

i think the biggest disadvantage with castle is that it is slightly antisynergistic with grimbo

[serene forge]

why is square joker not a 4oak joker by your logic

[lunar zealot]

So is rebate and purple seals

[crystal field]

wait is bige still shitting on squimbo

[serene forge]

nope

[heady narwhal]

not as much as one might think, but ...

[white zodiac]

bull has a quirk unique to himself in being an already scaled retroactive joker

[serene forge]

straights do not need the chips

saturns are very op

[brazen island]

finally a decent take

[fiery nymph]

but its not the highest ceiling, bull is?

[lunar zealot]

instantaneous ceilings

[heady narwhal]

yeah

[crystal field]

squimbo is the best i love square

[proper bronze]

hi

[cedar shell]

runner is a pair joker prove me wrong

[proper flame]

ts server pmo

[serene forge]

you're legit right

[lunar zealot]

Every joker is a pair joker if you think about it

[cedar shell]

ts does not mean this

[lunar zealot]

common jokers give abstract value for pairs

[brazen island]

lil bro needs to watch balatro university

[lunar zealot]

uncommon jokers give bbc xmult for pairs

[white zodiac]

even the order

[lunar zealot]

Rare jokers let you rare block to find pair jokers

[proper flame]

Im well aware but using ts as 'this' annoys people and so i do it

[lunar zealot]

legendary jokers let you get 10 dollars to find more pair jokers

[serene forge]

bloodstone is a pair joker because it reminds you that flushes fucking suck and you should play pairs instead

[lunar zealot]

That's kind of racist

[brazen island]

by admitting that you've demolished your own bit

[acoustic kettle]

Jimbist

[proper flame]

there is no bit

[steel chasm]

Weird setup that’s working so far somehow

[lunar zealot]

yes the bit is racism

we get it

[proper flame]

terrible bait

[hybrid tendon]

true, aave butchering

[modest spade]

ante 3 demon setup

[brazen island]

bro ur racist we understand

[shell dagger]

that lovers carrying the whole world on its shoulder

[cedar shell]

spamming nitro emojis is so incredibly based

[proper bronze]

+12 mult for wild cards

[lunar zealot]

Brother you are racist

this is not bait

[proper flame]

its only funny when it doesnt happen to me!

[lunar zealot]

you are not a good person and we are calling you out on it

[proper flame]

[lunar zealot]

[cedar shell]

[hybrid tendon]

[lunar zealot]

@pale wolf

[white zodiac]

x3 on the first hand, -1 hand kind of art

[lunar zealot]

that's

What the hell

[hybrid tendon]

wtfff

[brazen island]

[proper bronze]

awesome

[cedar shell]

circumcise joker by halving their values

[hybrid tendon]

,,,

that's fucked up

[proper bronze]

all cards and jokers are debuffed untill 15 jokers sold

[lunar zealot]

that feels antisemitic

[steel chasm]

Rate this funny deck

[cedar shell]

negative tag abusers rise up

[pale wolf]

it was worth the screenshot

[kind creek]

I think this might be good econ

also eternal pareidolia. The plant is coming, I shall not survive this

[steel chasm]

I still have 1 hand left so I’m safe

It’s kind of funny

[pale wolf]

copying parei for max face cardiness

[serene forge]

copy midas

[brazen island]

careful not to play the 0 of clubs

[modest spade]

Ew why did you get eternal Parei

[lunar zealot]

[serene forge]

your dumbass literally said copy parei ☠️

[serene forge]

true

i have insider info

[kind creek]

because I already had the midas mask and I got to turn into the real Midas myself
(96$ the very same blind)

[brazen island]

copying parei is the optimal move wdym it's covered in episode 1239 of balatro university

[pale wolf]

i said they were

[serene forge]

[white zodiac]

this is where i send the kami gif

if i had one

[hybrid tendon]

may a vampire save your run

[pale wolf]

it's even stupider than you could imagine

[kind creek]

do I take bull?

I think I take bull

[pale wolf]

[kind creek]

not sure what to sell though

[hasty harness]

id say yeah especially since plasma

[lament bronze]

Copypasta*

[hasty harness]

u could sell midas if ur close to being done with it

[lament bronze]

Or maybe the "I'm a balatro player I can't read"

[winged vault]

bullfondler

[kind creek]

True!

[lament bronze]

I wish my callbacks were as easy to do as them

[pale wolf]

never @ me again about obelisk unless you groe a "newbrain". obelisk is the realistically fastest scaling joker WITHOUT abusing blueprint. even on black deck, you outscale madness in a fair race, not even mentioning the boss blinds. Obelisk's existence alone buffs two pair to the BEST hand type. It transcends builds. It is the best round 1 joker hands down, better than yorick, better than hologram, better than baron.

[white zodiac]

there exists a very squished png of this paste and he’s not made it yet

[lament bronze]

All I have is the "Then it's not about you" and "A woman is turned into a man when she is funny on the internet"

[hasty harness]

notice how u didnt say better then idol

its okay obelisk is 2nd best

idol top 1

[pale wolf]

nothing beter than idol

[white zodiac]

super idol

[lament bronze]

The first one is a stretch because I just stopped doing it after people who indeed weren't the ones I was talking about bitched about it

[white zodiac]

guys i have an announcement to make

you are well loved and appreciated

[potent tree]

running walkie alongside scholar was a bit risky here but it seems to have worked...

[hasty harness]

what is this build lol

[lunar zealot]

To be fair 'i can't read' is incredibly fucking broad

[hasty harness]

anything for them stickers

[hasty harness]

🤑

[potent tree]

i was honestly just tryna pick up stone at the end but couldn't find it sadly

[tranquil otter]

bro already has gold on all of the jokers

[pale wolf]

i used to just say illiteracy

[hasty harness]

scholar and walkie arent

[pale wolf]

@ people

[lament bronze]

Potential chatter is also a big one

[hasty harness]

same with chad and mystic

right?

they look like different colors

[potent tree]

no they both are gold

[lament bronze]

My job is to

Wait a moment

[hasty harness]

bro WHAT

[white zodiac]

don’t car was pretty iconic

[lunar zealot]

potential chatter was made with so much hate in my heart it scares me

[lament bronze]

A woman is reduced into a man the moment she is funny

[potent tree]

my last golds to get are stone joker, sixth sense, luchador and dusk

[white zodiac]

with a side of holy yap

[potent tree]

i was hoping i could knock out stone with this run

[tranquil otter]

is this a copypasta

[potent tree]

but it wasn't to be.

[hasty harness]

u cant tell me the shades of gold look different

look at card sharp

then look at walkie

💔

i was setup

i swear!

[tranquil otter]

it is now

[potent tree]

walkie has a color background and poly

so it may be difficult to tell,

but it is gold

[hasty harness]

yea ik but even chad doesnt look gold to me

looks more orange/bronze

I think the problem yesterday was i took too high a dose actually

[kind creek]

I understand this is copypasted, but what about the vampire? doesn't he get +0.5 per hand? (+0.1 per card)

[dire crater]

Baseball card should go to the leftmost or rightmost

[lunar zealot]

baseball's position does not matter

put +mult before any uncommons

[dire crater]

ok

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[dire crater]

yeah

[white zodiac]

put higher +mult before lower +mult if both are uncommon

[potent tree]

ok actually this was invis. but oh well.

[lunar zealot]

Anyway im gonna take a nap until my painkillers kick in

[winged vault]

they level up your hands. Doesn't suck to me

[lunar zealot]

brb chat

[serene forge]

baby finally going to sleep oooh

[modest spade]

Bye Kami!

[rain wind]

I dont remember any by name id have to look on the gand

but i do remember those two

cause there my least favorite jokers

[modest spade]

Well anyways Burnt Joker and Obelisk are top tier

[rain wind]

outside of yorick

Yorick is ass

[serene forge]

blocked

[modest spade]

Ok man

[winged vault]

bruh

[rain wind]

yall gonna sit here and say yorick is better than ANY of the other legendaries?

[hybrid tendon]

ragebait

[modest spade]

The Duo (pairs) The Trio (3 of a kind) The Family (4 of a kind) The Tribe (flushes) The Order (straights)

Which of these ones is better

[winged vault]

it not the best or worse. It depends

[serene forge]

block

[rain wind]

it is the wordt

all the other leg.s are good

yorick is just not that great

[modest spade]

Not ragebait ||just their unfiltered dogshit opinion||

[hybrid tendon]

lmao

[rain wind]

The duo and the tribe are the best

[serene forge]

they joined today its gotta be ragebait

[dire crater]

its possible to get 50 jokers? (Or even all of them)

[sullen lintel]

goodbye orange stake. hello gold stake black deck

[serene forge]

ye

[modest spade]

Correct on the Duo false on the Tribe

[rain wind]

Yo i swear on my life yorick is the worst

i hate it

[modest spade]

Tribe is the worst 💔

[dire crater]

"Several people are typing"

[kind creek]

Is vampire good on plasma?

[rain wind]

all the other kegendaries are great

[proper flame]

duo + trio + family + tribe + flat scaling mult in a five flush run

[serene forge]

I hate The Tribe

[exotic orchid]

Yorick is pretty good. You just have to build towards it. Probably not good for high score runs. But its easy xmult and can win gold stake easily. Thats all that matters to me

[serene forge]

sure

[sullen lintel]

oops wrong reply

[winged vault]

I'm assuming Jolly only plays up to ante 8 cause that opinion doesn't hold true when you go deep into endless

[kind creek]

sure, it's ×0.5 added every hand

but like

[rain wind]

Any of the other jokers can do this

[kind creek]

I have no flat mult, I have wee

[dire crater]

Pompadour

[serene forge]

high score runs are poopy theres like 5 useful jokers

outside of bp bs

[proper flame]

With that lineup of Jokers surebut which are you getting rid of?

[modest spade]

Duo > Order > Trio = Family > Tribe imo

[rain wind]

Popcorn

[kind creek]

that's why I'm here

[rain wind]

Why does he have jimbo?

[rain wind]

i just noticed that

[verbal holly]

lots of 5oak and deaths, what a run

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[rain wind]

double copy is evil work

[winged vault]

it's ante four, not a big deal

[kind creek]

that's wee, +8 chips per every 2 I played this run

[rain wind]

Im not judging im just curious

[serene forge]

I hate Five of a Kind

[dire crater]

Whats that joker to the rightmost

[kind creek]

oh

you meant the other one

[rain wind]

Thats not wee dude

[verbal holly]

wdym

[winged vault]

that's what I was confused about

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[winged vault]

I didn't know what picture he was referring to lol

[modest spade]

I hate Full House

[rain wind]

Do they stack multiplicatively? Ive never gotten hem both in a single run

[dire crater]

I hate doctor house

[verbal holly]

merry Andy, you get him for completing a run in either 12 or 8 rounds I can't remember

[rain wind]

like is it copy plus copy or copy times copy

[dire crater]

Andy alegre

[kind creek]

This vexes me.

[dire crater]

its never lupus

[verbal holly]

yeah, is (2(\2(*2) etc

[rain wind]

Pretty solid

[rain wind]

Thanjs

[dire crater]

Is this some sort of ball a throw

[rain wind]

Ghost deck is so fun to play around with

[covert quail]

yes

[winged vault]

I prefer erratic for the fun element

[dire crater]

whats errstic

[acoustic kettle]

Erratic isn't as fun as it sounds

Ngl

[rain wind]

Is this a modded deck?

[winged vault]

no it's a base deck

[serene forge]

erratic is hold r simulator

[dire crater]

i dont like black

[serene forge]

wow racist

[acoustic kettle]

Unlock after beating orange stake

[winged vault]

you have to unlock it by beating orange stake

[dire crater]

Black deck

We are talking about decks

[rain wind]

Black deck is the worst

[hybrid tendon]

GIRLIE

[dire crater]

[wintry ice]

the ragebaiter has stopped ragebaiting suddenly

[winged vault]

not a hot take, that's for sure

[dire crater]

Wow

[serene forge]

i'm serious

[rain wind]

Black deck is the leading cause of depressionn

[serene forge]

[winged vault]

that thing and purple stake gave me ego death

[hybrid tendon]

[wintry ice]

lol?

[verbal holly]

i don't usually, but this run was on it, and those extra merry Andy discards did save me sometimes

[wintry ice]

would it be worth selling hex for the money now

[rain wind]

It wasnt ragebait i really do hate those jokers, but weve moved on

[wintry ice]

not buying it

[winged vault]

jokers being good or not is not a black or white answer

it just depends on the situation

[dire crater]

You didnt cook with that one

[cedar shell]

mfw i ignore context in a rouguelite

[winged vault]

like, trib is trash if you're playing like abandon deck, for example

[rain wind]

He says as Joker rears his heax

joker is bad

[acoustic kettle]

I hate jimbo

[cedar shell]

i love jimbo

[rain wind]

jimbo is a novekty card

[serene forge]

fuck you

you don't get to judge that

[rain wind]

like if you see him you take him for fun

[verbal holly]

and a lot of "bad" jokers are still great early game while you're setting up

[lunar zealot]

M

[acoustic kettle]

When is seance good

[lunar zealot]

With basbeall xard

[acoustic kettle]

Never

[rain wind]

Always

[serene forge]

bbc

also niche endless uses ig

[floral mortar]

I wish the game wasn't smart

Giving me a boss blind it KNOWS I cannot beat

[winged vault]

yeah

[serene forge]

was it the plant

[lunar zealot]

seance is a specteal gen that ca n be cppoed ao if you need cryptid for perkeo you can use it better than soxth sense

[covert quail]

so close to getting stuntman 😭

[rain wind]

The needle.

[lunar zealot]

additoonally you tend to not have a lot os f 6s ine dnless

[floral mortar]

The eye when I had high card build with card sharp

[verbal holly]

straight flush runs, with something like shortcut and/or 4 fingers

[serene forge]

ah

that's rough

seance is not good for strush runs

[floral mortar]

But I also hate the needle dw

[winged vault]

ehh, I prefer six sense over seance

[serene forge]

because spectrals are counterproductive to strush builds

[rain wind]

Valid pick

[winged vault]

it's much harder to pull off a straight flush then using six sense

[verbal holly]

6S is definitely a better joker

[floral mortar]

I really want to get a bloodstone run one day

[acoustic kettle]

Sixth sense is infinitely better

[dire crater]

Alright calmn down jeez

[rain wind]

Bloodstone is so free

[verbal holly]

it is definitely one of the weaker jokers in the game, granted

[rain wind]

getting bloodstone is like getting an angel deal in isaac that has godhead

like its a free win

[floral mortar]

When I get bloodstone I never get lusty joker

When I get lusty joker I never get bloodstone

[winged vault]

until it doesn't hit at all

[lunar zealot]

is this guy genuinely for real

[winged vault]

Bloodstone is a hit or miss joker for me

[lunar zealot]

i cant ficking handle this man i'm zooted

[acoustic kettle]

Bl**dstone

💔

[winged vault]

If I had oops all 6s, then it's a good joker

[rain wind]

How unkucky can you get

[serene forge]

no

[verbal holly]

i need that oops for me to take and keep bloodstone

[floral mortar]

I love it when I get it tho, ngl getting bored of high card

[winged vault]

but having it rely on that is something that detracts it a little bit

[lunar zealot]

@rain wind you are a bad balatro layers and while thays not necessarily bad you also refuse to learn anyting and belittle proplr who know more about the gamr than you do

[verbal holly]

yeah then it just becomes a heart specific ancient

[winged vault]

I mean, if you're just going for ante 8, then it's a fine joker

[blissful cedar]

The flint is my least favorite boss build due to my buying planet cards sporadically

[lunar zealot]

You are of the opinok that you scan do no wrong and are fully infallible in all facegs

[dire crater]

Its a bad idea to use sock and buskin esrly?

[winged vault]

endless is questionable since you want to have that consistent xmult hit

[floral mortar]

I do

I also want to get a money run with bull swash and egg

[lunar zealot]

and that will never be conducibe to good conversation

[winged vault]

rather than a xmult that hit some times

[lunar zealot]

If youre ragebiaing say it now so we can at least ger that out of thr way

[rain wind]

Deadass i havent said anything belittling

[lunar zealot]

this is your last chance

[serene forge]

probably

[serene forge]

read their message history

[rain wind]

What i do????

[verbal holly]

tbf I wouldn't take it past a couple antes after I got it if I didn't get oops or some insane retrigger jokers

[serene forge]

look at the first messages they sent

and tell me what you think

[rain wind]

ive been chilling

[lunar zealot]

girl im on piankillers

[floral mortar]

Card sharp burglar is so goated

[serene forge]

just do it

[winged vault]

you wouldn't want to anyway without +mult

[potent tree]

we nearly sold against AA...(free 6th sense sticker, i have 2 poly stencils)

[rain wind]

i joined gave my personal opinion, didnt hate on you for having differing opinions then moved on

[serene forge]

it'll be an easy decision to make

[dire crater]

Do what....

[proper bronze]

hi

[blissful cedar]

I think people should leave their egos in the #🎙・server-chat
I just wanna talk abt runs and have occasional advice given without being judged or belittled

[rain wind]

like whatd i do?

[winged vault]

I think you should start playing endless runs

[rain wind]

I DIDNT JUDGE ANYONE

[lunar zealot]

hi

[blissful cedar]

In general to the chat

[winged vault]

broaden your persepctive a bit

[dire crater]

Hi im chattier!

[blissful cedar]

Like u too

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[floral mortar]

Ngl I only R if I don't get flush on first blind

[winged vault]

oh yeah, 100%

[rain wind]

Are you high dude?

[floral mortar]

Or if I'm guaranteed to lose

[potent tree]

stone joker, luchador and dusk...which will be next?

[proper bronze]

awesome

[lunar zealot]

did your main get banned

[rain wind]

NO?

[winged vault]

like for the longest time, I had plasma deck lower down in my rankings cause I could never get my head around the scoring mechanic

[verbal holly]

flush or a min 8 straight

[winged vault]

for some reason

[rain wind]

THIS IS MY MAIN

[blissful cedar]

I still don't really get plasma

[floral mortar]

Exactly

[winged vault]

Now that I just completed an ante 39 run, my perspective on plasma has changed a bit

[verbal holly]

((c+m)/2)*((c+m)/2)

[lunar zealot]

plasma encouragds pure numbers

[floral mortar]

Stack mult or stack chips

[dire crater]

Dude i swear everytime you say that i think on the grandma from the croods saying "im hungry"

[blissful cedar]

It just forces you to have high chips and mult or one brings the other down

[lunar zealot]

in that sense you want to be able to get a lot of one value

[rain wind]

I like plasma cause the purple numbers

[lunar zealot]

chips or mult

[serene forge]

i never wawtched that movie tbh

[lunar zealot]

chips is easy to get but dies to vessel

[winged vault]

I know, it's just my brain couldn't vibe with that for some reason

[lunar zealot]

xmult is hard to pivot to but doednt die to vessel

[dire crater]

I think it was the second movie

[floral mortar]

Plasma adds your mult and chips, gives half to each, THEN multiplies them together

[blissful cedar]

What even is vessel?

[dire crater]

But its fine iguess

[lunar zealot]

I think i m gonna throw up

[blissful cedar]

I thought it took te median?

[lunar zealot]

1.2 million chip requirement

[floral mortar]

Something that holds something else

[blissful cedar]

Oh violet

[dire crater]

Iguess youre gonna

Balla throw

[rain wind]

You need to take a nap dude...

[shell dagger]

Median is equal to the mean with 2 numbers

[winged vault]

but yeah, by actually using it in my ante 39 run, I have much more of an appreciation towards it as and endless-run deck

[rain wind]

Say that again?

[dire crater]

[proper bronze]

i'm balla throw

[verbal holly]

i enjoy it cos things like square, and castle that are usually mid at best (sorry Castle) are now crazy

[rain wind]

The median is the middle and mean is the average of all numberx

[winged vault]

if I was doing ante 8 runs, I have other decks I would prefer over plasma

[shell dagger]

… which is the same when the data set has 2 values in it

[rain wind]

Ghost deck cough cough

[dire crater]

Ante 8 runs in white feels like a practice

[proper bronze]

blue deck

[winged vault]

ghost deck is okay

[rain wind]

It is? Thanks for that knowledge dude

i didnt know that

[sullen lintel]

will I beat black deck gold stake the first run

[winged vault]

like getting spectral in the shop at the beginning is great, but there's only a few spectral cards I would ever pick in a run

[lunar zealot]

You are gonna die

[dire crater]

Rude challenge-

Every blind is a bossblind

[rain wind]

Bot the BLACK

[sullen lintel]

this joker combo is the brokinator I lose 9 dollars every round

[floral mortar]

Early ankh is nice

[lunar zealot]

you have no money and lose 9 dollars per rojnd

[blissful cedar]

No hes right i googled it. If there are 2 numbers and you lay a timeline out with all whole numbers between them the median is the mean

[serene forge]

three fucking rentals

[kind creek]

with 4fingers

[winged vault]

I used to have a shitass opinion on blue deck. But I was a child back then lol

[shell dagger]

Quadratic madness scaling is hard to lose with

[floral mortar]

Blockbuster video build

Madness goated btw

[lunar zealot]

True...

[winged vault]

For some reason, I thought blue deck was hella mid

[blissful cedar]

But it only works when there are 2 numbers most example sets in school and class give us more values

[verbal holly]

i once had THREE madness

[rain wind]

SACRIFICIAL DAGGER IS GOATED

[floral mortar]

I think I like yellow deck the most

[winged vault]

but then I actually use my frontal lobe and realised it's a good deck

[proper bronze]

the strongest fucking deck

[kind creek]

I love that 4 fingers allows you to make straight flushes like 10, 9, 8, 3, 7
that is basically 3 fingers at this ooi5, just need 3 of the actual straight flush

[rain wind]

Your greed

[verbal holly]

i think I lost due to not drawing the hand I'd leveled

[dire crater]

10 whole dollars

[floral mortar]

It makes the start a bit nicer

[blissful cedar]

Blue deck is mid idc fight me magic deck best deck

[winged vault]

getting that econ generation in the beginning is quite nice

[rain wind]

Not a horrid take

blue deck aight though

[echo tartan]

magic deck is fun i agree

[eternal anchor]

INVISIBLE JOKER
I gotta hope to find Blackboard or get enough card enhancements to win now 😭

[floral mortar]

I hate ghost deck but it's my highest atm

[blissful cedar]

Ight = mid

[dire crater]

Nobody would, magic deck its really good

[kind creek]

I personally have an unreasonably passionate hatred for zodiac

[rain wind]

Y does your bakatro have a clock

[kind creek]

I gold stake'd most

but never beaten white on it

[verbal holly]

yellow deck can be really fun to start, and if you're staying to understand Balatro mechanics, and wanna go for higher stakes, it's probably the easiest to do that with

[eternal anchor]

Just wanted it

[rain wind]

Its interesting though

[winged vault]

other than having the crystal ball voucher first, it's not that exceptional tbh

[blissful cedar]

2 fools*

[rain wind]

Outside of checkered deck

[blissful cedar]

0 drawbacks

[rain wind]

but it locks you out of great synergies with the other two suits

[winged vault]

I know about the fools, but those don't define the deck for me

like I prefer zodiac over magic

[blissful cedar]

2 fools crystal ball 0 drawbacks

[kind creek]

I don't care for your sun tarot, mercury and saturn cards
I NEED AN INVISIBLE AND AN OOPS ALL 6S

[verbal holly]

sure, checkered is easier overall but 1) you unlock it later and 2) only having 2 suits limits your ability to grasp some of the cards and their interactions

[rain wind]

This right here is fire writing

[blissful cedar]

Zodiac = more planets and tarots, fewer jokers

Zodiac = clear drawback

[winged vault]

most decks don't (stares at black deck)

[blissful cedar]

Zodiac < Magic

[rain wind]

Guys any abandoned deck lover in the chat???

anyone.....

[shell dagger]

you still get more jokers

[kind creek]

it's good, it's respectable

[shell dagger]

because of overstock

[winged vault]

that's what I was gonna say

[shell dagger]

1.53 per shop roll vs 1.43 on normal decks

[rain wind]

Fav beginner deck gotta be green

[blissful cedar]

Black deck, abandoned deck, plasma deck, checkered deck, uhh painted deck? (+2 hand -1 joker)

[rain wind]

interest build

[tranquil otter]

i love zodiac <3

[rain wind]

get money tree rocket and the stock joker

[tranquil otter]

zodiac good because the vouchers synergize

[rain wind]

whi cares about winning when you csn be rich

[kind creek]

Green not only gives you liberty in not saving up for interest, but also teaches you to play better and rewards you HEAVILY for it

not sure why you called in beginner deck though

[winged vault]

saying plasma deck has a drawback is wild

[blissful cedar]

In theory but in my personal experience the shop gets too overloaded with everything but jokers for me to usually get a good joker set up, i have to play zodiac around my deck and planet cards

[winged vault]

and checkered deck?

[potent tree]

0 ankhs this run, 1 invis and i got this far with 6thsense sticker

[rain wind]

I love you gng

[tranquil otter]

is bro illiterate

[tranquil otter]

read the plasma deck description

[sinful prairie]

What the hell happened here 😭

[shell dagger]

sorry but im trusting the raw numbers, not the anecdotes

[dire crater]

Why youre blue (walter white)

[rain wind]

GUYS WHATS UNANIMOUSLY AGREED TO BE THE WORST DECK

???

[shell dagger]

black

[tranquil otter]

black

[dire crater]

black

[winged vault]

and it's one of the decks that can actually get you into endless

[tranquil otter]

black is pretty chill tho

[rain wind]

OUTSIDE OR BLACK

[blissful cedar]

2x base blind value is a drawback.
Flower pot isnt useless on a checkered deck build along with many other suit dependent jokers

[sinful prairie]

Heh I'm Pikmin Blue

[winged vault]

black is satan

[blissful cedar]

the planet deck

I forget what its called

[eternal anchor]

doesn't seem like I'm gonna make it.........

[dire crater]

alright smart guy hand behind your back and get on the floor

[winged vault]

ripperoni pepperoni

[tranquil otter]

the point is that plasma deck has a drawback bro

x2 blind size is a draw back

[sinful prairie]

NO YOU CANNOT ENTER MY PRIVATE DOMICILE

[rain wind]

Not that bad of a db tbh

[tranquil otter]

for refrence you need ~6x difference between chips and mult for plasma to be making up for the x2

[blissful cedar]

Pretty sure ur wrong numbers are wrong but im too lazy to run my own numbers... but the point remains that overstock does not save zodiac from being a weaker deck than magic

[tranquil otter]

so its a drawback

its pretty bad

[shell dagger]

go find ur own numbers then

lol

[winged vault]

you can out pace that with the right setup

[eternal anchor]

2.4 million Violet Vessel

[blissful cedar]

Just said i wouldnt and my point still stands that magic>zodiac

[tranquil otter]

you get easy early antes but the scaling is insane and you just get fucked

[rain wind]

Most runs where you win you win by a larger margin than the boss blinds for most of the time anyway

[rain wind]

I got that yesterday

[blissful cedar]

The close runs are fun tho

[tranquil otter]

magic is better than zodiac if you are BORING and only play pairs

[blissful cedar]

I can play flushes on magic or virtually anything

[rain wind]

I like when i know i can just barely win so i use 110% of my brain to order all my cards and jokers in just the right way

[blissful cedar]

Deck building is alot easier imo

And you can get omen globe faster

[tranquil otter]

me when i am wrong

[rain wind]

Close wins tickle my brain

[terse vale]

bro you’re going in the negatives

[blissful cedar]

No deck has faster building than magic unless its checkered

Ok maybe abandoned...

Mmm

[kind creek]

still debating if vampire is good here. On one hand, I only have the base hand mult and I wasn't even buying any planets. Not ot mention not having space.
on the other, gaining 0.5 × per hand..

[blissful cedar]

That was a bad take

[shell dagger]

zodiac literally gives you more than twice the number of tarots than usual

[dire crater]

See you in court then, PUNK

[tranquil otter]

so is everything else you say

[shell dagger]

magic gives you 2 at the start

[winged vault]

at least we got there

[shell dagger]

it falls off

[rain wind]

The greed run

[sullen lintel]

I was hitting -50 dollars and lost because I couldnt find a full house for my trio but I was 1 round away from verdant leaf

[blissful cedar]

Magic is still a good deck idc fight me

[eternal anchor]

well, I can say this is the first time I've ever had three of the same Joker, but still, really bummed out

[tranquil otter]

yellow deck has the fastest building because you've already built like most of your interest in round 1

[kind creek]

it hurt so bad to pass up on the bull but I'm not done with mask yet
and wee is my beloved son

[winged vault]

I trying to computing that take and couldn't lol

[tranquil otter]

its not a bad deck its just significantly worse than virtually everything you try to compare it to

[dire crater]

Yo i have a question

[blissful cedar]

Zodiac is not better than magic

[tranquil otter]

zodiac diffs magic

[rain wind]

You dont need more gold cards gng

[winged vault]

no one saying it isn't

[tranquil otter]

you could say its close if you dont care about the game being interesting in any ways

[blissful cedar]

No omw to play 5 zodiac games this is insane

[kind creek]

but I have no money
just... only 171$

[winged vault]

sure, let us know how it goes

[winged vault]

you need mime more than anything

that will retrigger the gold cards

[kind creek]

nah, gold ticket + blueprint

[dire crater]

lets say you get 10 cards with marble joker, and vampire takes out the "stoness" of the cards, what number or suit would be those cards? (Sorry for my bad english)

[winged vault]

true

[hasty harness]

random suit and random rank

[winged vault]

don't know what hands the guy is playing

but it's not wrong

[kind creek]

random I think, same as certificate of authenticity just without seals

[tranquil otter]

yo bro can you like learn the game

[dire crater]

Really?

[hasty harness]

yea

[blissful cedar]

Mmm

[dire crater]

Ok thank you

[blissful cedar]

I take it back

But i will still defend magic currently until the 5 runs are over

Good for you man

[hasty harness]

sell stm and then die because brainstorm has nothing to copy

and blame it on bad luck

🤑

[winged vault]

the replied comment was about gold cards

[kind creek]

I live magic deck for obvious reasons

[winged vault]

mime retriggers held in hand effects

[tranquil otter]

yeah bro i saw the build the mans was running

[kind creek]

wizard

also big fan of magician cards

[tranquil otter]

did you miss the part where he had golden ticket

ticket diffs the fuck out of mime

no contest

(in regards to gold card money)

[winged vault]

I just saw the build now that I scrolled up to it

[south palm]

0 hands

[tranquil otter]

someones gonna reply to that statement talking about blue seals

[south palm]

😭
