lol love getting stunt man in the first shop on plasma, instant 25,000 high card 🤣

[marsh needle]

Contradicts runner but idk

[winged vault]

In endless, bosses will repeat

[sacred trench]

Not for a long time

[winged vault]

yeah, probably

[sacred trench]

Really trying to get mine and baron so I can go for Nanif

[winged vault]

the ante blind amount will probably get you first before plant

[sacred trench]

I got all the ones that can destroy me in the beginning already

[rigid rivet]

Yay

[sacred trench]

I will give you the tribe for the baron

But sock frost

[winged vault]

be mindful that ante 16 is one of the finisher boss blinds

[sacred trench]

First*

[rancid niche]

Sock frost

[sacred trench]

Yeah, I can get that covered

[rancid niche]

I won black deck with one joker again

[winged vault]

the last thing you want it crimson heart coming in to ruin your day lol

unless you have retcon or director's cut or luchador

[sacred trench]

Not yet. There was an ante one director's cut and I didn't take it

[marsh needle]

Omg my run is saved

[winged vault]

better pray it's not crimson heart then

[sacred trench]

Yeah

[pale wolf]

ok time for a blue deck run

[pale wolf]

in which I win

[rigid rivet]

Flush lvl or gamble

[calm epoch]

pretty sure gamble wont hit this time

so flush lvl

[rigid rivet]

Aight

[pale wolf]

thank you for blessing me

[marsh needle]

[heady narwhal]

runner + trousers best synergy

scale mercury obviously

[rigid rivet]

Gamble for flush or gamble for edition

[marsh needle]

Huh????

i bought this one this time around

[marsh needle]

Wheel always hits

[marsh needle]

My luck with deck fixing has been awesome so im going straights

In ante 3? This is lovely

[heady narwhal]

i mean you should probably not have to build straights with a scaling chips joker

[marsh needle]

I dont have to!

But ive gotten some hanged man and an immolate

the straights have been set up early

its not looking so bad

[stark karma]

saddest fucking shit ever

[marsh needle]

how did u get there did ur cavendish pop or somethjng

[stark karma]

got ecto ante 6 and antimatter ante 8

[marsh needle]

oh plasma

[stark karma]

steel cards and red seals

[red thistle]

Should i do no uncommons next?

[marsh needle]

Wait holy shit im an idiot

I was so awestruck by the second nat negative

That i didnt notice the shortcut in my straight build

Lmao

[vale wharf]

Violet vessel is so stupid 😭

[red thistle]

Vv is smarter than me.

[pale wolf]

i ankhed an egg
funniest shit ever i tell ya

[rigid rivet]

200$ before last blind

Spending it on rerolls

[red thistle]

@pale wolf could you do black deck GS no uncommons for me.

[pale wolf]

no

[red thistle]

Mean.

[pale wolf]

and then judgement makes chad

blessed days abound

[marsh needle]

Whatttt trading card doesnt trigger campfire

I thought that would be a cool combo

[marsh needle]

We are so back ^_^

It was GGs by ante 2 but its extra GGs now yayy

[sacred trench]

So I Re-Encountered the plant and I have the reroll skip tag that saved the run

[rigid rivet]

I finally beat all decks on white stake

Checkered deck was the easiest so i got gold stake in it

[swift tundra]

Juicy plasma setup

[pale wolf]

wow trousers sucks

swashbuckler is a way better joker

[manic zealot]

Mine showed up like an ante or 2 too late

[marsh needle]

Hanged man????????????

[quaint stag]

next to plant and water it's the worst blind imo

[red thistle]

SWASH SWEEEP.

[marsh needle]

I have gotten like 10 of them in 6 antes omg

32 deck size

and ive been taking card pack cards too

Whattt

[sacred trench]

Should I take him

[pale wolf]

my first temperance

[strong willow]

I just ended ante 8 on gold stake with level 73 on pairs

[pale wolf]

and it takes me to $69

perfection

[mellow thistle]

gold stake tier list dont at me

[pale wolf]

_ _

this is not yours is it

[mellow thistle]

i have beaten every deck on gold stake and like half of every joker

[mellow thistle]

yes it its

[pale wolf]

It's one of the worst things I've ever seen

[mellow thistle]

yeah well no

[strong willow]

Card sharp below campfire and acrobat is a war crime

[royal shale]

Obelisk is top 20 jokers

[mellow thistle]

completely dies to 2 boss blinds

thats why

[red thistle]

Top 5.

[pale wolf]

its like you shook a tier list violently and 75% of the stickers fell off and landed in random places

[latent egret]

obelisk top 5 without a doubt

[strong willow]

Which two?

[hardy fable]

s tier for stuntman

[pale wolf]

needle and eye

[strong willow]

Ah yes

[red thistle]

The mult scalers are way too high.

[mellow thistle]

i mean you kinda need them every run

[strong willow]

Still an absolute top tier gold stake joker and I will not accept it being below acrobat and campfire, and several tiers above obelisk

[red thistle]

Me when planets.

[vale wharf]

Didn't have problems my entire run, and then it's just VIOLET VESSEL 🤓

[royal shale]

bbc in C tier what is this

[hardy fable]

obelisk slander smh

[mellow thistle]

whats bbc

[royal shale]

baseball card

[mellow thistle]

i mean yeah its kinda bad on gold stake

8 dollars

for like maybe 2.25 x

i mean its fine ig

[serene forge]

I love Campfire

[royal shale]

2.25x is better than Duo

[mellow thistle]

i mean i guess

[serene forge]

@lunar zealot you gotta see this when you wake up

[royal shale]

and it scales higher

[mellow thistle]

oversight

[royal shale]

and it’s completely free (no condition I mean)

[red thistle]

Uncommons are already the 2nd best rarity in the game.

[hardy fable]

how can we explain that obelisk deserved A-S tier🤔

[serene forge]

baseball card is good because it makes all uncommons useful

[royal shale]

you don’t, you just wait until ppl gain skill

[hardy fable]

baseball card is my favorite joker.
one of the best in the game too; for a multitude of reasons from an innocuous premise of 'uncommon jokers each give x1.5 mult'
it gives a build direction, whether it's taken early mid or late game - in a game where direction is almost everything, to have a joker that provides it and gives scoring that is more than adequate for its opportunity cost is an incredibly large boon, not even considering the implications of every uncommon giving x1.5 yet
making every uncommon x1.5 makes every uncommon viable; every uncommon no matter how esoteric gives xmult with bbc which allows for a surprising amount of strategy
'bad' uncommons like idol seance and showman, rather than being unusable on gold stake runs instead gain a second wind of giving x1.5 mult
xmult and +mult uncommons have additional note simply because x1.5 on top of the value they themselves already give is significant; retrigger jokers have inherent synergy as they are uncommon and strategies that tend to use them (wee, ancient joker, triboulet) can always make use of baseball card for more xmult; utility and econ uncommons also have note simply due to the fact that they would not provide scoring by themselves if not for bbc - cloud 9, shortcut, and so many more, because the amount of uncommons means you will almost never run out of options
and you don't necessarily have to only use uncommons in any given run; 2 alone give x2.25 mult which is more than see2, more than duo, more than ramen, and considering you in a typical run have a +mult joker, an econ joker and 1 or 2 xmult jokers, should at least 2 of those be uncommon that already justifies bbc's place on any given build - let alone 3 or even 4 uncommons giving x3.375 and x5.0625 mult respectively which would easily allow you to beat violet vessel in 1 hand; but even then a bbc run can and does beat violet vessel making its score ceiling more than adequate, as well as being resilient to most boss blinds
(from kami)

[serene forge]

you're not kami

[mellow thistle]

i apologise for my words on bbc i love bbc

[hardy fable]

still agree with her that bbc is good(stuntman is better though)

[royal shale]

Also Chad in C, Mime in C, Certi in C, Traca in C, Chaos in C, Riff Raff in C, Midas in D, and Red Card in D are all criminal

[mellow thistle]

whats traca

[royal shale]

Trading Card

[mellow thistle]

i mean yeah i think its kinda baity if youre playing flushes

and the deckfixing isnt as useful if youre playing pairs

[royal shale]

Well that’s your first issue, playing flushes

[royal shale]

+$3 a round before interest with thinning is nice

[mellow thistle]

i mean i kinda think only flushes and pairs are decent at gold stake anyway

[royal shale]

Flushes are noob bait

[lunar zealot]

SON OF A BITCH.

[mellow thistle]

i mean its just every other hand is kinda ass

like who is playing 3 of a kind

[lunar zealot]

HOW DARE YOU

HOW D ARE YOI

[mellow thistle]

im sorry

[royal shale]

Pairs, 3oaK, Straights >>>> Flush

4oaK also has its place

[red thistle]

Dude spoilers.

[dark cairn]

sorry

[manic zealot]

I truly don't get trading card being just a C

[dark cairn]

thought most people had done it already for some reason
im pretty happy with this

[pale wolf]

oooh man :( i fucked up

[manic zealot]

ouch

[mellow thistle]

if youre playing flushes it makes it way harder to consistently get 2 of them, if youre playing pairs you rly dont need the deckfixing that much

money is decent ig

bad for rebate

bad for purples

[red thistle]

Haha what a bad player.

[royal shale]

if you’re playing flushes you’re already making a mistake because it simultaneously scores poorly and isn’t consistent

[serene forge]

i think trading card is slightly overrated

but its still a great jonkler

[marsh needle]

Unlocked gold stake green deck in like one day!!! :O

Loved this build ^_^

[red thistle]

Definitely.

[marsh needle]

27 deck size i was so lucky with the deck fixing

[royal shale]

it’s like, high B low A imo

[serene forge]

you probbaly shouldn't be playing flushes if you can't one shot

[tranquil oyster]

showman above loyalty card is crazy.

[nova mantle]

what would yall say is more useless 8 ball or showman

[red thistle]

Showman.

[nova mantle]

aighty

[royal shale]

8Ball, showman isn’t useless because it actively harms you

[mellow thistle]

easy to get 2 of them, if you get a telescope its probably alr your n1 hand so you can scale it

[red thistle]

Lmfao.

[nova mantle]

lol

[marsh needle]

Good picks… but i wouldnt put gros michel in c / baron in b / bean and madness in D

bean is noooooot a d tier

Bean is like

A?

5 hand size is useful in several situations

[red thistle]

Baron in b is reasonable actually.

[marsh needle]

Id put it in c

too situational and other situation jokers are in c too

Mime is c but baron in b??

[nova mantle]

fraudman and stm gold stickered!! very fun run tbh

[royal shale]

It’s planet only gives you 5 more chips than Pairs

[nova mantle]

now im stuck with eternal showman tho ;((

[marsh needle]

Hell yea ive had a stm duo run its nice

[royal shale]

for a drop of like, 50% consistency

Probably worse

[mellow thistle]

5 hand size is rly good you just usually already have 5 jokers i feel like

[lunar zealot]

Bean is pretty applicable

lets you fish for golds and blue seals

luckies to a lesser extent

[royal shale]

Pairs are like 93% or so draw rate +5 chips per planet is NOT worth playing Flushes

[mellow thistle]

yeah but 2 mult and its not that hard to pull off multiple of them

[marsh needle]

Oh wait what why is trading card and certificate and hallucination in c too wait

[nova mantle]

stm runs are my favorite, shame i never got to actually do one on gs till now

[royal shale]

oh yeah I forgot about the +2 mult cuz it’s been a hot minute, still not worth it

[nova mantle]

stm mime is what baron mime would wish to be

[lunar zealot]

jupiter is still not better than bus

[red thistle]

(both are bad)

[marsh needle]

trading card s tier

[mellow thistle]

those are not the same thing at all what

[potent tree]

the hunt for stone joker is not going well. but hey, 2 holograms almost at 10x...

[marsh needle]

If 1 less discard is killing u then the solution is: dont use trading card for that round

It isnt required

[mellow thistle]

yeah ik but then it just doesnt do anything

[red thistle]

Fatass hologram.

[nova mantle]

why is htr so high

[mellow thistle]

bro what is htr can we stop with the abbreviations

[nova mantle]

hit the road

[mellow thistle]

cause even if you jsut discard one jack its 1.5x

[sacred trench]

I need y'all's help

[mellow thistle]

and if you death like 2 jacks you can consistently get it to like 2x

[red thistle]

I recommend playing the game more and trying out the jokers in their truly correct way in gold stake. @mellow thistle

[potent tree]

and immediately after i get mime and poly hits...

[sacred trench]

Is the legendary bait

[mellow thistle]

like ankhing the loyalty card

[nova mantle]

you did not call stm mime bad bruh 😭

[red thistle]

Yea.

[sacred trench]

So sad, I would have loved a perko

[nova mantle]

horrendous ragebait

[red thistle]

Most of them i guess.

[nova mantle]

fair, i js had never seen someone make an argument for hit the road

[marsh needle]

Ur too high in the antes to recover from a missed perkeo sadly

[nova mantle]

its like the most forgettable rare joker

[mellow thistle]

yeah no one likes it but idk why, its pretty good

[marsh needle]

If it was like ante 11 then yes, sell brainstorm as u dont have a duplicate of it and see what in there

[sacred trench]

Well it is a great run, I got a tribe and I survived messing up the last boss blind

Is a poly reserved parking bait

[lunar zealot]

why is it blue

[royal shale]

saw bad tier list so I have to post this, this actually follows a rule, if you already know don’t tell ppl

[pale wolf]

I'm overwhelmed

[sacred trench]

It's poly

[sacred trench]

Did they put Hanging Chad is F-

[nova mantle]

if it was green it would die

[royal shale]

I did

[sacred trench]

That is an awful take

[marsh needle]

Wait i think the showman potential could be cool :O

[red thistle]

Is this a themed one?

[royal shale]

it follows a rule and clearly you don’t know the rule

[sacred trench]

I think you need a second riff Raff

[royal shale]

yes

[marsh needle]

Lmao they could undergo mitosis

[red thistle]

Subjective or objective.

[royal shale]

Mostly subjective

[nova mantle]

the rule of being schizophrenic

[pale wolf]

vagabond is so good, my word

aj too

[barren wigeon]

wow plasma deck is a little difficult

[barren wigeon]

YO

I JUST FOUND NEGATIVE WRATHFUL JOKER AND NEGATIVE GLUTTONOUS JOKER BACK TO BACK

WHAT THE FUCK

NO TAGS

NAT NEGATIVE

WHAT ARE THE ODDS

[nova junco]

True

[strong willow]

Don't think I'm ever going to get a higher level on any hand on an unseeded gold stake run

[nova junco]

Find smeared

[potent tree]

holos got to 14.25x each. pretty nice run honestly

[nova junco]

It seems like a lot of levels

[barren wigeon]

well its plasma deck so both of these jokers kinda suck

[strong willow]

50/50

[nova junco]

I mean get an xMult and they can get your pretty far

Not to ante 8 maybe but still

[barren wigeon]

yeah the issue is ante 8 is kinda the goal

BLUEPRINT!!!!!

[nova junco]

Yes but you also have 5 joker slots

[barren wigeon]

AND CHAD!!!!

WHAT THE FUCK

[nova junco]

You're not stuck with the first 2 jokers you find

[placid swift]

hello there

[barren wigeon]

i lost that run to the mouth btw

[south palm]

Golden needle

🥀

[pale wolf]

pretty nice deck for aj

[marsh needle]

This fire is burning real hot

[slate lance]

Fragile is easy asf

[stiff ore]

that was a fun game lol still going for ante 12

[south palm]

Golden needle is impossible 😭

[slate lance]

I'll try it soon

Ive almost unlocked it

[serene forge]

blue = should be higher, red = should be lower imo

[lunar zealot]

obelisk that low?

[barren wigeon]

i hate bloodstone as much as the next guy but it does not need to be lower

[lunar zealot]

@mellow thistle let's think logically

obelisk is x0.2 mult per hand

X0.8 mult per round

x2.4 mult per ante

x2.4 mult scales faster than yorick and madness combined

yorick being around x1.3 mult per ante and madness being x1

[slate lance]

Acrobat is a pretty good joker but putting it next to cavendish is kinda unfair
Card sharp is way better than acrobat anyway

Im a professional card sharp enjoyer

[pale wolf]

madness is nearly worth it!

[lunar zealot]

x1 per ante is fine lmao

Better than like

throwback

[mellow thistle]

And what are you gonna play 60 high cards by ante 3

[slate lance]

And loyalty card so low insults me :[ i love loyalty card, one of my first gold stickers

[lunar zealot]

constell with shitty econ

[lunar zealot]

all you need is 14 pairs

[lunar zealot]

which you're gonna be playing anyway on gold stake

[barren wigeon]

nope!

[lunar zealot]

and that's why obelisk is even more synergistic

[pale wolf]

how about ante 6 full house pivot

[lunar zealot]

the optimal strategy is to just keep doing what you were originally doing to a point

[serene forge]

its below average at best

[barren wigeon]

definitely not

[serene forge]

strawman competition and you're my opponent:

[serene forge]

"this run isn't going too good. im barely able to scrape something together that just barely beats the blinds. if only there was a fast scaling xmult joker that doesn't care about what hand im playing that could solve my entire endgame"
the humble obelisk:

[marsh needle]

Guess i do flush fives now

[slate lance]

I mean tbf it requires a lot of planning ahead

U have to have a most played hand that u can avoid often

[serene forge]

so pairs

[lunar zealot]

Yeah like pairs

[serene forge]

aka generic gold stake gameplay

[slate lance]

But the thing is u wont always be playing pairs

And what if ur deep in a run and youve made ur entire thing on one hand type

[serene forge]

you usually will be

[slate lance]

Obelisk asks u to avoid that

[serene forge]

most things gravitate towards that

[lunar zealot]

The only thing that separates a run that can't obelisk pivot with a run that can is +chips

[serene forge]

because pairs are overpowered

[lunar zealot]

because it's assumed you're playing pairs

if you have chips you can do the pivot and comfortably win

[slate lance]

I love pairs but i do love going into 3 oak and flush territory too tho

[serene forge]

scaling xmults tend to be pretty bad when they're at 1x mult in ante 7, yeah

[lunar zealot]

so? just dont obelisk pivot then

even yorick and canio aren't completely splashable

[slate lance]

Deep can count as like mid antes

[slate lance]

Fair enough

Dw im not saying obelisk is bad

I love obelisk

Just saying it wont save every run

[serene forge]

whats wrong with that

[slate lance]

WdymM

[barren wigeon]

im sorry to everyone I disrespected by saying plasma deck is easy

this shits hard man

[crystal field]

lol told u

[barren wigeon]

you never told me this

[crystal field]

oh that mustve been someone else saying plasma was easy

well atleast you learned

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[hidden lance]

cockblocked by ecto again

[barren wigeon]

obelisk...

uhh

fine

[fair flower]

Horrendous build, but it's pretty cool

[slate lance]

Dw i think everyone hated it their first time

[marsh needle]

This counting as a pair is some bssss

im cookedddd

[lunar zealot]

What the fuck

[stiff ore]

welp that was a fun run

[serene forge]

lmao

[fair flower]

Idk man my luck is crazy today lol

[barren wigeon]

wild card is debuffed

[serene forge]

why

[lunar zealot]

shhh don't tell him

[marsh needle]

Lost because of that

[slate lance]

I should do a joker tierluwt again cause the last one i did sucked ass

If i can find it

[lunar zealot]

you could have played the ace yknow

[barren wigeon]

anyways is 14 pairs the magic number

[stiff ore]

xD i just realized i unlocked th elfush joker and ante 12 voucher in the same run

[barren wigeon]

for the lisk

[marsh needle]

I did and lost

[lunar zealot]

12 minimum
14 recommended
16 safe

[serene forge]

so what's the problem then

[marsh needle]

couldnt trigger duo

[vale wharf]

Y'all, any news on V2?

[serene forge]

eh i usually do like 10 or 11

[marsh needle]

Lost by 3000

[lunar zealot]

Soon™

[serene forge]

damn rip

[vale wharf]

Soon 😭

[lunar zealot]

i do 15 cuz im a wuss

[stiff ore]

hologram was X14 i believe

[marsh needle]

That build wasnt the smartest either way

Could have picked better

[serene forge]

i was gonna say

flushes with bus is a very bold move

[vale wharf]

Two pairs with spare trousers

[pale wolf]

my favorite voucher is here

[barren wigeon]

seeing double is pretty good

MARBLE JOKER AND STONE JOKER

I AM THE SYNRRGY

AND SOUL????

CHICOT!!!

I LOVE YOU CHICOT

[kindred jasper]

Oh sick I got Canio. I just have to destroy m-

[barren wigeon]

well now I just kinda have a useless obelisk

[kindred jasper]

[hasty harness]

i think killed the run

💔

[barren wigeon]

just make em and destroy em

[barren wigeon]

son.

why do you have 3.

[hasty harness]

just sold banana + photo for ankh and invis

[crystal field]

wait why has chat been weirdly anti obelisk the past 50 mins or so

[hasty harness]

I THOUGHT ONE

would hit the square

not 3 rentals 💔

[barren wigeon]

rookie mistake thinking you'll get what you want in balatro

[lunar zealot]

literally no bro

we love obelisk here

[crystal field]

thats what I thought

[fading cobalt]

A joker able to foresee what cards you draw next would be pretty sweet tbh

[fiery nymph]

where

[lunar zealot]

Misprint

[fading cobalt]

Or maybe a voucher

[fiery nymph]

i dont see it

[fading cobalt]

?

[fiery nymph]

if someone is anti obelisk they are wrong

[lunar zealot]

misprint lets you see the top card in your deck

[hasty harness]

i mean i think i still win unless i get vessel ngl

[lunar zealot]

and im being completely serious

[hasty harness]

im scoring 100k

per hand

[fading cobalt]

Um.. how?

[crystal field]

yep

simple as

[barren wigeon]

youll never guess what boss you'll get

[lunar zealot]

misprint shows random numbers but has a chance of showing #xy where x is the rank and y is the suit

so #11D is a jack of diamonds

[fiery nymph]

whatt

[lunar zealot]

Boot up a run play a round and check misprint in collection

[hasty harness]

im just waiting lol\

tbf i actually have econ to survive for a bit

[lunar zealot]

Triple rental

TRIPLE RENTAL CONSTELL

[barren wigeon]

might just play 5oak stone cards

[lunar zealot]

that's a high card

[barren wigeon]

I am quite aware

[hasty harness]

we're pivoting to high card

💀

[lunar zealot]

gg

[potent tree]

once again no new stickers. but at least this was a canio x6 run (all from one immo)

[lunar zealot]

oops no +mult is crazy

[hasty harness]

what is this setup tho lol

[mellow thistle]

Would be funny if they added a reverse oops

[barren wigeon]

I wish i didnt take obelisk man

[mellow thistle]

Unbreakable glass but everything else whiffs

[barren wigeon]

I found all the best chip jokers right after I took an eternal obelisk

[lunar zealot]

Dies to vv

sadly

[pale wolf]

i won

yay

[hasty harness]

i didnt get vv

but even if i did

i dont think id die

[crystal field]

ong constellation so fun

[lunar zealot]

Guh

[barren wigeon]

or get mr bones

[hasty harness]

but most fun is ecto or ankh

[crystal field]

yes agree

like ankh is nowhere near good

but when it is possible and not a detriment

[fervent wolf]

Fouler!

[crystal field]

its very silly

[barren wigeon]

Scry 3?????

[crisp bane]

;-;

i already lost

i got clubs disabled and all my red seal steel cards were clubs

greatest balatro run of my life tbh

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[alpine basalt]

Why the joker stencils?

[rancid niche]

×1 ×1=2 or something idk

[pale wolf]

[rancid niche]

12 kings in deck and I failed to draw every single one of them

[lyric verge]

face cards are debuffed rip

[pale wolf]

which is better

[unborn cliff]

dead chat 💔

[crystal field]

with mic

[twin lantern]

hi chat

[crisp bane]

its funny

[swift tundra]

Violet Vessel wasn’t ready for the horns

[vale wharf]

All you people talk about is Balatro 😠

[spring radish]

lmfao

[crystal field]

balawo

[proper bronze]

good morning

[vale wharf]

Hi, GAY blueprint LESBIAN! 👋

[crystal field]

only 8 more jokers to go for c++

[vale wharf]

What's golden needle? I heard it meant times

[lunar zealot]

a challenge

[vale wharf]

Which all?

[lunar zealot]

1 hand per round 7 discards

[swift tundra]

You can do it 🎉

[lunar zealot]

discards cost 1 dollar

[crystal field]

DNA, Seance, Seltzer, Smeared, Onyx Agate, HTR, Family, Odor 🌟

[vale wharf]

"that's not so bad"
$1 per discard
"oh"

[crystal field]

all rares and uncommons 😢

[sacred trench]

Alright my guys, my run as come to its end without an exoplamsa, two legendaries, made it to ante 24

[vale wharf]

Is it an official challenge?

[lunar zealot]

Yes

second to last before jokerless

[bright notch]

Does playing 4oak scale Pants?

[tranquil cargo]

nope

[bright notch]

pluh

thanks

[crystal field]

i dont even rememver how i beat golden needle

but ill never do that shit again

only thing I remember was acrobat came in clutch

[bright notch]

thanks

[tranquil cargo]

also banner

[bright notch]

acrobat is just a better Cavendish on golden needle right

nah its better

since it cant break

like

perish

[crystal field]

cavendish perishing is one in one thousand

a 0.1% chance

[bright notch]

indubitably sire

[tranquil cargo]

can't even use it with 10 negative oops all 6's

[bright notch]

yet id rather 0/1000 chance of misfortune rather than a 1/1000

[crystal field]

cavendish is generally better than acrobat

on golden needle acrobat is good because of the situation

yaaa

😼

widewawwy

idk your pfp but its cute

[hybrid tendon]

castle vs uranu in balatro chat

[vale wharf]

Is there such a thing as c+++?
Stuff that I think it would include:
-all combinations of editions, enhancements and seals on cards
-all editions of jokers
-gold stickers on each joker for every specific deck

[lunar zealot]

That would take

a thousand years

probably more

[vale wharf]

It's a good new endgame for c++ finishers

[lunar zealot]

it's pretty grotesque

[prime valve]

No lifers dream

I mean there is always someone who could do that

[vale wharf]

Could people like roffle or spectred do it?

[wintry ice]

the daily reid got a rival now

[vale wharf]

They probably have a lot done already

[acoustic kettle]

Takes too long

[wintry ice]

your

[tranquil cargo]

even if they could, they probably wouldn't

[vale wharf]

Ok, forget the gold stickers for every deck

The joker editions seems alright

And they probably would have like 650/750 already

[acoustic kettle]

Joker editions is such a pain to grind

[manic talon]

wheel becomes the best tarot

[fiery nymph]

always has been

[acoustic kettle]

Also getting negative editions

Ectoplasm becomes the most used spectral

[wooden aspen]

Whats the odds of me getting the plant on an 8 ante run

[pale wolf]

Completionist hardcore is getting every stake sticker sequentially on every joker

[slate lance]

Hell yeah

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vale wharf]

I feel like that would be something in the update, because if you get a new unique joker edition, it shows up as a new collection discovery at the end of the run

[pale wolf]

[prime valve]

Hello Nat :)

[hybrid tendon]

UMA MUSUME

[acoustic kettle]

Maybe stickering editions as a whole

[wintry ice]

negatives are extremely rare without skip tags

[lunar zealot]

[acoustic kettle]

Maybe completing 50 runs with a joker of that edition gets you the sticker

[slate lance]

Just make sure it isnt an actual achievement, i want my platinum trophy without having to spend thousands of hours on iy

[serene forge]

[hybrid tendon]

TRUE

[serene forge]

[hybrid tendon]

[vale wharf]

New Balatro achievement; buy every joker in a single run

[hybrid tendon]

lmaoo

including legendaries or not ?

[vale wharf]

Except legendaries, of course

[lunar zealot]

time to buy ace aequilibrium

[slate lance]

Easy if u got great econ and campfire

[lunar zealot]

and overstock plus

[slate lance]

Yuh

[crisp bane]

first naneinf!!!! i got this on my phone without unlocking brainstorm OR invis joker

pretty cool

[slate lance]

Anaglyph and rare / uncommon tag would help a lot too

[crisp bane]

i barely made nane inf by around 10 cards

anyways thats all from me bye bye

[slate lance]

Hell yeah

[crisp bane]

funniest part about this

is i got the exact same setup except for 1 extra blueprint last run

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[crisp bane]

on my phone ofc

[vale wharf]

Balatro challenge idea:
Start with every voucher
Ante score requirements scale by ante number

[crisp bane]

and i didnt get naneinf cuz of that and also not conserving my cryptids

[serene forge]

I hate Planet Tycoon

[vale wharf]

Me too

[crisp bane]

wouldnt that make it impossible to find jokers cause planet tycoon and tarot tycoon

well not impossible but REALLY HARD

[vale wharf]

Eh, it's not THAT bad

You start with $1 rerolls

[crisp bane]

oh also playing cards

[vale wharf]

Keep in mind that you have EVERY voucher

[lunar zealot]

ah yes 3 hands per round

wait no

5

I cant read

[slate lance]

But overstock plus

You'd see 4 cards per reroll

[crisp bane]

i mean ya

[lunar zealot]

Illusion

lol

[crisp bane]

but i think it would still be below a normal run's joker rate

although that is entirely opinion

[slate lance]

Apparently it actually is more

At least on zodiac it is

[serene forge]

doesn't matter when useless garbage pollutes the shop 16x more than it does by default

[slate lance]

This is just zodiac²

[slate lance]

16x more?

[serene forge]

also magic trick

forgor about magic trick

lol

[slate lance]

Oh right

Yeah fair enough that would suck

[serene forge]

tarots and planets are each 4x more common

[slate lance]

But on the bright side magic trick would let u get enhancements cheap

And if u find a holo 🤑

[sudden skiff]

Don’t forget about liquidation

[slate lance]

Hologram not graphic*

[slate lance]

Omg yea

Plus econs really easy to get

[serene forge]

also

if we have all vouchers at the start

[slate lance]

6 hands and up to 40 dollar interest

[serene forge]

does that mean we start at ante -1

[sudden skiff]

True

[slate lance]

Oh right

So itd be 5 hands

[sudden skiff]

Easiest ante -1

[sudden skiff]

And 4 discards

[slate lance]

Yeah

But

+2 hand size

[serene forge]

i guess you'd also have 10 handsize

which does help

[slate lance]

And a free 6th joker slot

[sudden skiff]

And you have 6 jokers

[slate lance]

Observatory could be useful

Especially since 3 consumable slots

[sudden skiff]

Spectrals appears on tarot packs

The only downside is magic trick

[ripe oriole]

Surely this will score enough right ?

Riiiiight ?

[sudden skiff]

No

You lost

Gg wp

[barren wigeon]

naneinf ≠ nan

nan is neither greater nor less nor equal to naneinf

[ripe oriole]

Guys, someone able to reach this point knows obviously know all this shit lmao

Also no I didn't loose

Balatro did

[tranquil cargo]

how did you only get that error on the last hand?

[twin lantern]

sold all my scoring for an ancient joker on checkered deck ❤️

[ripe oriole]

I had to edit the file like 5 times this run 😭

[analog estuary]

i need balatro

[sudden skiff]

Hi

[analog estuary]

how do i even play i got 373 hours at steam and i got kicked out of my family 😭

gotta play the mobile version with less progress now

[analog estuary]

hi

[sudden skiff]

I’m balatro

[twin lantern]

no im balatro

[analog estuary]

oh hi balatro

[sudden skiff]

No I’m balatro

[sudden skiff]

Hi JooJ

[analog estuary]

john b. alatro

[twin lantern]

ill kill you

[analog estuary]

live balatro suicide

[twin lantern]

@analog estuary gl on c+

[analog estuary]

balatro kills balatro

[crystal field]

yayyy

[analog estuary]

i cant even do it...

[twin lantern]

y not

[analog estuary]

i dont have balatro

[twin lantern]

[analog estuary]

i was playing on my steam's family balatro

and i got kicked out

[twin lantern]

wtf

[pale wolf]

beep

[analog estuary]

im playing on my phone which i got like 4 decks done and phone feels like a whole different game for some reason

[twin lantern]

IKR

[analog estuary]

idk man i just need money to buy the game 😭

[analog estuary]

doesnt feel half as addicting

[uncut matrix]

goated combo

[pale wolf]

i think mobile balatro controls are way better than mouse control

[supple dune]

Luckiest run in history? Cavendish, juggler, and reserve parking all nat negative

[prime valve]

Bigger screen more addicting? Alright noted.

[pale wolf]

winning

[analog estuary]

you cant right click on mobile

[uncut matrix]

got it ante 1, dont need much else 😎

[pale wolf]

so

[analog estuary]

FR MAN I GOT A WHOLE NEW PC AND MONITOR

and i cant even test it on balatro yet

went from a 75hz 17'' to a 180hz 24''...

[prime valve]

Thats big jump

[analog estuary]

oh btw its not really bigger screen = better

ive played on my cousin's ps5 and it feels worse than mobile

feels like a demo version of the game for some reason i cant explain

[prime valve]

Cant really tell because I dont even have pc

[royal ore]

oh my god 3 gold stickers

[analog estuary]

at least to me, balatro at pc is more fun than those naneinf runs you see in youtube and at console its worse than playing real poker

[tranquil cargo]

before balatro was released on pc, for the last 5000 years people had to settle for playing it with real cards and real magic

[analog estuary]

how so

[uncut matrix]

dont need it when wheel is nice to you 💪

[analog estuary]

red joker

[uncut matrix]

rimbo

[prime valve]

yep. One guy pulled banana and it went extinct in front of my eyes.

[analog estuary]

once before balatro released i used 500 medieval actual kings to score numbers beyond our mind can ever reach and got rewarded with 4 cents and a good job sticker

[prime valve]

Ah yeah the old naneinf.

[analog estuary]

bro be deckbuilding to kings since 2004

[analog estuary]

i put the sticker on one of my kings and it made it fart every time i switched anything's place

[prime valve]

I heard the song over 100 times but never realized that. MF DOOM is truly the greatest

[tranquil cargo]

several kings were found dead near a plant

but there was one survivor, and his name was chicot

[analog estuary]

to this day i still am looking for him to vanish him from reality

[signal frigate]

Chicot is unironically one of the best Legendary

Can't convince me otherwise

[crystal field]

better than trib

better than perkeo

better than canio imo

it must be yea

[tranquil cargo]

no way it's better than perkeo

[signal frigate]

Not better than Canio but absolutely better than Perkeo and Trib

[signal frigate]

It is.

[prime valve]

Forgot yorick

What about him?

[crystal field]

canio sucks tho\

[minor portal]

Yorick will always be the goat

[crystal field]

yorick the best fs

[signal frigate]

You're bad and you only play White Stake.

I'm kidding

[crystal field]

i literally never play white stake but alr

[signal frigate]

But getting +1 ENTIRE xmult is really good

Getting Canio to 2x is already amazing

[tranquil cargo]

it often jumps in +2x's at a time

so 1 hanged man = 3x mult

[signal frigate]

Because you're a fool for doing this obnoxious achievement

[tranquil cargo]

2 hanged man = 5x, and so on

[prime valve]

You been fooled by thinking you are fool

[signal frigate]

Canio and Yorick are tied for the best Legendaries in the game

I'd say they're followed up by Chicot

Then Perkeo

Then Trib because Trib fucking sucks

Even tho it's my favorite

[minor portal]

Yorick is actually best friends with The Hook.

[vocal rose]

idk if they tied

yorick is def better

[lunar zealot]

Yorick edges out canio due to versatility and ease of use

[signal frigate]

I'd say they are but Yorick is infinitely easier to use

So I guess that's true

[vocal rose]

yorick edges

[lunar zealot]

canio specifically requires economic stabilization to find ways to destroy face cards

[signal frigate]

Even with like, one singular discard, Yorick is still amazing

[lunar zealot]

whether glassifying, immolate, hanged man, trading card, etc etc

yorick literally rewards you for playing the game normally

and while yes optimally you have to discard the max every time

you're playing pairs

you will find a pair

[signal frigate]

Except for the time when the game doesn't wanna give you a pair for whatever fuckin reason

[lunar zealot]

even then high card is fine if you have chips and mult

because like you have fucking yorick

[mental bloom]

im balatroing it

[lunar zealot]

being poor means you cannot scale canio

and that's significant

[tranquil cargo]

that's not canio's fault econ is so important in balatro

[lunar zealot]

it's points to yorick though

because yorick is a constant unchanging x1.3 mult per ante

lower highs but no lows

[signal frigate]

Yorick barely edges out

Canio requires you to work for it

Yorick encourages you to relax and just play

[analog estuary]

bala

[jovial grove]

Canio is still good

It can scale faster

And Yorick gets affected by the stake you are on

He still is better, tho

[slender moth]

Forsaken update🔥

(kill me)

[empty glacier]

This was…a really weird run. Thanks Cav! Onto orange now I suppose. Ugh…

[manic talon]

PEEP THE TECH

FULLSKIP MADNESS

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[sage marlin]

Just chose bloodstone over negative paradolia round 1 pack and got Midas mask round 2 🥲

[wintry ice]

pareidolia atleast sold for more there

[sage marlin]

It was a skill issue

[wintry ice]

trib is considerably hindered by like 5 and yet it's in the highest tier

consistency?

[royal ore]

thats why you dont ever choose bloodstone

[steady crystal]

The fool represents the beginning of a journey.

[fading cobalt]

Y'all aint ever gonna believe how I fucking died

[hasty harness]

what did bro say

💔

[fading cobalt]

Early ante rare jokers piss me off so much

Like can you fuck off and give me commons that will actually help me survive

[manic talon]

Ok but vagabond

[fading cobalt]

even vagabond has moments where it doesn't pull through for early antes

Majority of early ante rares are bait

[manic talon]

Nah early vagabond is gas

Just need to know when to stop

[cosmic ember]

5 hands
not a single diamond card (1 off diamond flush)

[lunar zealot]

early vagabond is unfathomably good

early obelisk gives immediate direction

early blueprint works if and only if you can find another scoring or copyable econ joker

[hasty harness]

vagabond my goat

😄

[cosmic ember]

i never use vagabond

i like to have interest

[hasty harness]

vagabond is really good

like vayn said u just need to know when to get out of it

[manic talon]

You can have both

[hasty harness]

yeah lots of ways

saving cards to discard with rebate and then winning after getting vagabond value

gold cards

saving temperance

etc

[fading cobalt]

Fuck this game

One more loss and I'm throwing my controller into my tv

[cosmic ember]

my problem with vaga is that theres better ways to get tarot cards

[hasty harness]

just gonna move this here

but theres no way u said campfire and obelisk are bad 💔

[fading cobalt]

HOW AM I MORE PISSED OFF AT A CARD GAME THAN ANY FUCKING SHOOTER I'VE PLAYED BEFORE

[hasty harness]

wee is really good and stuntman is good as well

[cosmic ember]

theres a reason its my most played hand

[hasty harness]

like what

[cosmic ember]

resetting a multiplier bc i wanted to play a hand is fucked

[hasty harness]

thats like saying u never want to pivot

like ever

plus its a very strong incentive to pivot

[cosmic ember]

purple seals, the 1/2 chance on pack opening

[hasty harness]

u could theoretically scale it like .8x or 1x each blind

[fading cobalt]

Hallucination is NOT better than vagabond

Purple seals can technically be better tho

But how often do you find alot of purple seals in a run

[hasty harness]

purple seals are nice but you need to get a lot of them for them to snowball (if u only have a few u arent likely to draw them)

[cosmic ember]

i see how obelisk could work if you strategize but i like keeping all my hands

[lunar zealot]

you get used to spending hands

[hasty harness]

yeah

[lunar zealot]

in the early game with say ride the bus

1 dollar is 1 hand

so 4 mult for 4 dollars is a great deal

[cosmic ember]

rocket my goat earlygame

[hasty harness]

anyway why do u think

that

[lunar zealot]

and with obelisk specifically 4 dollars for x0.8 mult is an amazing deal

[hasty harness]

campfire is bad

[hasty harness]

rebate 🥱

[cosmic ember]

well campfire depends on your stuff obviously

[cosmic ember]

but i dont like it resetting

[wintry ice]

name one that isn't purple seals

[hasty harness]

no campfire is like almost always good

it doesnt depend on ur stuff

just buy and sell planets

:/

tarots

etc

[cosmic ember]

well like with perkeo its like a lot better

[hasty harness]

its free

[wintry ice]

you're supposed to use it for the last few antes

[cosmic ember]

just resets piss me off

[hasty harness]

you dont need to use perkeo to make campfire good

😭

[lunar zealot]

or like play 16 pairs and then be smart with it

[cosmic ember]

i didnt say that

[hasty harness]

but its NOT a lot better

when u have perkeo

u want to use it to focus on deck fixing usually

so u wouldnt be selling the stuff perkeo copies

[cosmic ember]

well it lets you get x0.5 extra every round if you have bp

[cosmic ember]

yeah thats fair

[hasty harness]

u could be doing a lot of better things then x0.5

with a bp and perkeo

[lunar zealot]

If you have perkeo and blueprint you have better things to do than campfire at that point

[hasty harness]

yeah lol

[cosmic ember]

too much reading

[hasty harness]

someone send the img

😈

[lunar zealot]

read it anyway

You're lucky you have the luxury of being treated cordially right now

[pallid ferry]

remembered this game exists and got around to beating gold stake anaglyph, all roads lead to photochad ⏱️

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[cosmic ember]

okay arguing for stuntman is wild tho

[lunar zealot]

most useful anaglyph

[serene forge]

like 8ball

[hasty harness]

name a better start

[lunar zealot]

it's a scaling +chips joker that's already fully scaled

[pallid ferry]

what should i spend all these skip tags on..

[lunar zealot]

it's a win condition

[hasty harness]

its free just play pairs/high card

[lunar zealot]

It has its flaws but is very good in its niche

[wintry ice]

+250 chips means you don't care about what hand you play

[serene forge]

polychrome baron and mime obviously

[cosmic ember]

yeah but theres js better

[wintry ice]

you can just get any scaling mult

[hasty harness]

true

[pallid ferry]

last time i used it on a spectral skip and made everything negative and lost instantly that was fun

[lunar zealot]

Exactly

[wintry ice]

this is a roguelike

you can't choose what the shop gives you

[lunar zealot]

but you can't get runner on ante 7 and scale it in time

[lunar zealot]

you can however win with a surprise stuntman

[terse vale]

? ignoring the fact that you even said that whats bettrr

[lunar zealot]

if you're lacking on mercuries

[hasty harness]

stuntman is good early game and once u get chips in the planet ur playing u can choose if u wanna pivot out of it

^

its not like ur committed to it

[pallid ferry]

top ten reasons i love stuntman

[serene forge]

photograph just needs to be removed from the game ngl

[wintry ice]

besides

[hasty harness]

why tho

[wintry ice]

chip jokers are scarce

don't be picky about them

[hasty harness]

my goat squareman

:p

[lunar zealot]

square - consistent

[hasty harness]

i love square

[lunar zealot]

runner - highest ceiling for its cost and rarity

[hasty harness]

last run i did

^

w square

[serene forge]

The Obelisk is, almost without a doubt, THE weakest joker in the entire roster. Sometimes you commit to a poker hand only for a blind or boss to move out of the way entirely and cause you to miss your shot. I understand that the whole archetype of xmult jokers is slow and defensive, but the game is really designed for faster playstyles in general, so being slower than enemies can cause you to whiff some scores altogether. I will admit, the xmult from the final hit is amazing, but the journey there is not; you have to slog through the incredibly sluggish hands before getting to the last one, and if you change hands or stop playing for even a short amount of time, it will reset.

[pallid ferry]

square joker is probably my favorite scaling chips joker because of how reliable it is scaling wise

[lunar zealot]

castle - easy to play towards; becomes much better on checkered and with additional discards

[cosmic ember]

depends on what you find honestly

i fw bull cause im always max interest

[lunar zealot]

bull - retroactive, directly converts econ to scoring

[cosmic ember]

holy mult

[lunar zealot]

wee - highest ceiling, fastest scaling
