i use them to thin sometimes
Synergy is overrated
Thatās because baseball is a rare and the others are common, thatās just a fact of the game
Green joker is exceptional with pairs though
yea same
Sounds like youāre getting good jokers
your baseball card is hardly doing anything and you have too much +mult
i love half joker
not enough xmult
All of these are insane
These are all good jokers
negative zany joker
"I don't get good jokers" lists four good jokers
Why do i get good jokers that dont go with each over
Gift card swash and baseball all synergise
Increases sell value of all jokers
You just have poor judgement on what is a good joker
yeah i know what it does just never heard it be called present
Which is normal
Well, likely because you don't have enough money. How much do you have left when you go into a round?
It looks like one
did blud say swash and gift card dont go with each other lmao
well yes but most people refer to a joker by its name
that one stone tower in a desert joker
im gonna start calling bloodstone green kidney stone
No i didnt its because i had a ton of commons with baseball
then dont take baseball dawg
Or donāt take 3 +mults at once
gift card is uncommon you cant complain lol
It was at the start
Also green joker and half go great because you can play 4 card hands until the last one
i usually dont take baseball unless i already have a few uncommons
i adore half joker
and really pump up that +mult
showman, invis joker
having the awareness to pivot is definitely a learned skill
I take baseball early but I donāt complain bc I know the rarity of uncommons
Isn't that turtle bean?
bean is black
its a rare joker
painted?
whats the one deck where its -1 joker slot
yeah painted deck
no im stuck on gold stake
Oh, huh, optical illusion.
Also I just noticed that beans background is beans. Kinda like pants.
i only just got plasma
took like a billion resets
i got so lucky 2 legs in 3 antes
Two consecutive rolls
current state of my current gold stake attempt
holy lack of +mult
not the eternal dna
we love eternal dna
bro thinks heās on the team
Level 19 4oak
i stand corrected
55 mult
please stop making my dnas eternal
Abstract joker is a good joker
16 more gold stickers guys
just get a negative dna
good stuff
I hate Bloodstone
bloodstone its like baron
Only useful with the correct jokers
Early game baron sucks so much

when i first started balatro i thought the collar of jimbo was his arms and legs
Elden ring balatro randomizer race š

whats the balatro goal
just winning?
credit card in the buffoon pack
there was not sadly.
i wouldāve taken the astronomer
already a divergence
True
i couldn't draw into a SINGLE pair against the water...
Common balatro ragebait
hc must be better
sounds impressive
Hello everybody my name is Markiplier
Does doc exist on the server
I was hoping for a deep endless run, but unfortunately not
Things coming to late and that
sad
Well i see a bigger problem than no observatory
no red seal polychrome glass
you have 713 dollars
Why does madness feel much rarer on black stakes
who said getting gold sticker on legendaries was difficult? š
luckiest run of my life lmao
Because now you actually want to see it, so you notice how rare the chances of seeing a specific uncommon actually are
Tremeeeendo
cuƔl es el mod que hace que bp se vea asi?
ya te digo
no spanish
dale gracias
speak english
itās english dw
I was going for the typical perkeo + observatory build
i mean
ādale graciasā is not english mf
You lost
because your idol setup didn't carry you enough to bank towards observatory
observatory doesn't mean you can disregard an existing build whether it be idol/trib/sock or baron/mome
mome
gracias loco
You get the idea
The seed was doomed anyway with how late observatory was
Fair
Arenāt you using brainstorm mod for these
could have at least gotten a bit farther with the right cards though
You need at least 300 planet cards for it to past ante 32
yeah
like glass polychrome red seal
Just tell it to put observatory in ante 2
I know
I just wanted it to be semi-natural lol
get perkeo but the rest is standard stuff
Second bloodstone run in a row - no fear
Unless its the head
Nope, manacle. We good
||no one wants bad head||
Goodbye chad
aye
still need to find that dusk...
Two bloodstone wins back to back, unexpected
I hate Bloodstone
doomed yuri š
just got reminded of the time i was rank one in the world on cookie run kingdom
Found this damn thing during a run
Kicked myself seeing foil dagger the shop after eternal grimbo but i made both work
hello chat I'm pretty new to the game, how do I unlock the scribbled joker?
drink monsert
Sell all legendaries 5 times
here win, if only I could take bloodstone and baron š
Delgrat
lets goooo i finally got a royal flush
STILL no sign of dusk...

I hate Bloodstone
okay so
I hate Smiley Face
straights works only when I'm not playing painted apparently
also first time using wee
last run with it was only when I unlocked in the collection, didn't use it
probably
red fr
anyone got funny seeds
B
aleeb is a very niche one
real
Ortalab
Just lost my painted deck run on Ante 8 boss because i played a royal flush instead of a straight š
Cryptid has a lot of brainstorms
i hate painted deck so much
another "its just bloodstone" moment (was on spades) but its not like i needed it, its a nat neg so why not lmao
photograph
good morning
can you move me away from the photograph
there was no other options š
i had photochad then tried to do a dna pivot but i had no copiers
shouldve replaced gift card in hindsight
gotta be more than one comment
classic youtube comments moment, room temp IQ, and its in celcius
Doc might be based
I really REALLY want to know who said what
if he posted this on twitter it would've gotten spammed with bot replies
glad to see a shitton of support in his comments and like one idiot
I hate Bloodstone
IM FINALLY FREE
i rerolled into violet vessel and i couldnt clear it but my last reroll let me hit lucador

nice
Which better?
brainstorm because youre on blast off and youll see a fuck ton of planets
runner brainstorm
Thanks
you don't really have anything for brainstorm to copy so imo i would go runner but maybe i'm bad
if this was gs your opinion would be based
my faith in humanity is restored, 0% swash
imagine having an informed opinion based on context
i got 2 8ball walkie talkie runs in a row
something like that
where was this poll?
also you can always copy constellation and gluttonous joker still works correctly (goes first no matter what)
cavindish can't generate at the beginning of the game?
even if it could, early +mult is better than early xmult
its a hypothetical
Chicot in soul
just get a luchador
skill issue where is your econ
would yall pick troubadour over drunkcard for the gold stake?
Oh invisible
shouldāve been in the thousands :3
me whenever someone mentions the plant:
bloodstone
i don't care
sell bloodstone
no tf
it's obviously dna
I just goldstaked seance without even bothering to use it lets fuckin goooo
playing 4oaks with 10's, drunkcards really doing nothing here
trobbio probably worth it then
I wish delayed grat still gave some money even if you used a couple discards
oh!..
Is my game bugged? I'm playing x ray vision and I have not seen a face down card in 3 rounds
if you can pick your own deck, checkered gold stake with triboulet is a free win
it is
minus a couple boss/card draw caveats
all you need is some glass on non-face cards for the plant if it ever show up, and otherwise your score will always be enough
actually so goddamn free
So far I got 10 kings, one of them being a red seal gold king
Wait a second, I could sell bloodstone and sixth sense, pick up baron, make him negative, then pick up photo
Is this the play?
the problem with triboulet on other decks is you cant make a "good" hand that has errant queens and kings, (you cant play 2 queens and slot a single king on it unless you have splash), but if every card in your hand can be played in a flush, it becomes laughably easy to get atleast 3 King/Queen or more in a hand
why would i play flush š
.
sometimes you need to not throw to win
WHAT??
how is playing towards flushes on gold stake ānot throwingā
that is definitively throwing
do you even read the hypothetical in question lmao
so true
uhā¦.
im taking midas mask
midas is good
what would yall say is more useless in ante 8, even steven or walkie talkie
depends on ur build
i got an ecto an im tryna decide which one to gold sticker
walkie because its more specific
take walkie
and the 10 chips isnt worth that much later
aighty 
i wish walkie talkie was better bc i love it ante 1 bht past that itās just so cheeks
been there
said hypothetical
itās a fine eternal early game direction crutch
i fw rhis build so heavy
widelatro or tallatro
i donāt had you been in my position to pilot this hell
3 new stickers!! troubadour trading card and ofc walkie talkie
i have 2 sides
mipk41m6
bs on trib, bp on chad
it has only rares and jumbo arcana packs up untill ante 10
i hate that this is the case when scholar is a more viable option
they could never make me hate you niche, flat scaling, mediocre jokers ā¤ļø
careful what you say there cause scholar is worse 10 4 in practice
where's obelisk
brainstorm trib, blueprint chad
if you have all red seal, sock switching places with one of the trib is correct
if you have all red seal glass, this is correct, i think
if you have none, also correct
i wish walkie talkie was good
i find scholar more viable cuz of grim and what not
and copy dna w eberything first hand to deck fix
no reliable way to print 10s
yea i think so
the early game initial card draw variance is not favorable for early survival when half of the cards are of benefit
@manic talon why u hate yorick
scholar kinda feels better because its easier to differentiate between aces and non aces 
cuz he sucks

opinion on chicot?
@gaunt temple
its a great joker
whatever that means 
aces got that big suit symbol on it
walkie talkie is better
eh, fair enough
let bro cook
at the end of the day walkie IS more consistent
that 10 chips makes a big difference 
hey fellas, just joined to show you the shear disrespect just handed down to me with this boss blind!!
you can't make a full house with ONLY aces
youāre not going to take eternal scholar
says who
yea probably but trying to find 10s and 4s is annoying 
except maybe abandoned for stickers

Hey I am new to this game is my stuff good
good enough honestly
yea thats pretty good
either drop pants or trio and build around whichever one you kept if u wanna really optimize but solid jokers w photochad u can def beat ante 8
X-ray vision done!
Only cruelty and jokerless left
Which one is harder? š¤
maybe a hot take but cruelty
cruelty fs
jokerlss
Well thanks
golden needle was the hardest by far for me
cruelty is like, annoying
do jokerless i mean
I'm scared, how do I beat cruelty?
tbh i one-tapped all the last 3 challenges except golden needle
I failed like 5 times already
keep trying and eventually youāll get lucky
its still white stake difficulty so the scaling isnt as bad as you think
+no money on small and big blinds
3 slot, no reward on small and big
and donāt let yourself be locked on the same few builds or jokers keep ur build fluid
Ok
good luck 
you can get away with a lot of stuff in white stake scaling, even at only 3 joker slot
3 joker slots is just Photo, Chad and Showman ezpz
imagine three joker slots, heck, imagine zero
No imagining for me thanks. I prefer not to use my brain
I hate Photograph
this guy balatroās
imagine -1e300 joker slots
What is showman doing there š
emotional support
a modded challenge has actually inflicted that upon me before
I am here to put on a show ~ Luna Snow or w/e
showing men
aikoyori said "I'm onto you and your antimatter shenanigans, jokerless means no jokers"
showman when he shows men (its 10 jimbos in a row)
thereās actually a hidden boredom mechanic for jokers if theyāre not entertained they sell themselves
showman keeps them entertained
Does hanging Chad do anything with DNA?
no
no
This is true. If you don't believe it I'm sorry that you don't understand the game mechanics
Thats too bad
DNA is already strong tbh
it fucks up hiker value by making the copy before the chip add ons lmao
Hiker should add chips before scoring IMO
ruins hiker flavor š¦
hikers dont have DNA confirmed
joker jdea called car where everyone you pick up a hitchhiker they stop takinf up a slot and get in the car and the more hikers in the car the more chips get added per card trigger
hire me local thunk
dont car
@clear mulch look i gold staked you
holy yap
1 in 4 chance to destroy the car because its actually a serial killer
Cruelty is so hard š
good idea needed a nerf
golden needle and jokerless are both quite a bit harder
When gold stake on me?
jokerless isnāt that much harder thereās a lot of strategy baked into it
My golden needle run
when your neg
i should replay golden needle itās been forever
Is fortune teller better than DNA?
depends what u want to do but if u have steel probably not
i breezed thru via a lucky trib
Im just trying to get the highest score i can
Bloodstone Lowkey is good
I dont really have any mult cards right mow
begone vermin
Dude I got naneinf with it
if u have a high base mult from levels keep dna and only copy steel
Mime could be interesting
focus on leveling up one hand type with planets and try to get plus mult from there akd then ur steels and xMult jokers will carry from there
Is this deck possible to get an e score with? I feel like its my best deck ive had so far
I will defend bloodstone with my life
Why are you taking sideways pictures
I got hit with the sideways joker
Is that good or bad?
every number has an e score
i did it 69% progress
I hate Bloodstone
Oh okay
everyone hates bloodstone
I dont know too much about anything
tbf i wouldnāt count on it bc youāre very deep in flush territory while using steel joker and steel cards which benefit from playing less cards so maybe(?) you can get a low e-score but i wouldnāt count on it
bloodstone only good if you have oops all sixes
just get 3 yoricks
Bloodstone needs to just lose the rng and rebalance its xmult value a bit
bring back 1 in 3 bloodstone
Oh okay, thank you š
just destroy bloodstone 149 jokers from now on
most useful photograph
bring back the even more shit stone
np glad i good help have fun learning more abt the game
I love bloodstone
I already have terrible luck with it bruh
shut up greenleaf
I love bloodstone
Everyone knows clubs are the cooler suit
nothing will change dw
there it is
Thou ig the 4 infinty stones and act like oops all sixes is the 5th is funny in a wild deck
i like hearts simply because among us, and i like ejecting
If you're using wild cards I'd rather have ancient joker
ok i can get behind that actually
You're gonna get shat on by a suit blind anyways
if youāre using wild cards youāre doing smthn wrong
They aren't bad to supplement when you get a booster pack without your main suit tarot
the humble ancient joker:
I'm really curious how thunk is buffing them
not if you have greedy lusty glutinous wrathful jokers
Suit immune
id rather die on not having a suit thwn use wild cards
Make it a separate suit instead so stackable with enchantments
if i donāt win with my principles is it truly worth celebrating
thats the 6th infity stone
Would they still proc related jokers for a debuffed suit though? Otherwise they're still useless
what should it be called
the humble stone card
but o get what ur saying lmao
I love bloodstone
Stone card doesn't
oh yes the wild suit
misread ur message š
how to make wild cards good: A. make them never debuff, done finished
Photochad dweebs just found their plant counter
cool, iām still not gonna use it over any other enhancement
aint gonna go as far as red sealed glass or lucky thou
I mean
Yeah I guess
I assume it would only be for debuffs from suit blinds? Seems weird to counter all debuffs otherwise
yes
getting debuffed by 4, 5 if face is pretty brutal
Wild card : 1.25x mult
hello legends. question. is the soul weighted towards specific legendaries (some come out of it more than others), or is it an equal 1 in 5 for each one
I hope we get a playing card enhancement that procs on discards in the next update
for some reason soul gives me yorick almost every time
equal 1 in 5
Pretty sure it's equal
1% chance i think
oh sweet so i'm just cursed tysm
Unless you already gold staked some
whats wrong with me?
gs prioritizes non gold stickered legendaries
nothing is wrong with the beautiful yorick. she just seems very attached to me
and i thought it was odd

tbh discard scaling is stupid powerful if you scale it with drunkard/wasteful/merry andy
i've won runs easily with her
oh i forgot about hit the road
I really think delayed grat should lose the no discarding requirement
It'd make it easier to slot into discard builds
it wouldnāt be delgrat anymore
i think a good joker to add would be um a weezer joker
i once had a trading card/yorick/burnt/canio deck, where every round i'd burn a face card, buffing the legendaries and upping high card
it should just be how many you have at the end of the game
without the flavor
never matched it since
It still incentivizes you not to spend discards?
ah yes thank you for the 3 cards
maybe earn at end of round per remaining discards? like "$1 per remaining discard at end of round"
like on green deck
It just doesn't put a hard limit on it which is what makes it shit
Easiest cruelty run ever?
Thunk said he thought it was good which I thought was hilarious
delayed gratification is a good joker
Atm it's basically just a worse gold joker in most situations
i mean its....money
how have i had a successful 4oak run before finding this damn dusk...
wrong person
because its morning
number value tweak is one of the better changes, a functional rework isnāt required
oh it's a 0.3% chance per card in the pack to appear, so if you get a jumbo pack it's a 3 in 1000 that gets rerolled 5 times
for soul showing up at all
That doesn't fix its main issue
It's awful for actual discard builds lol
delayed gratification and burglar go hard tho
The incentive is just using it with shit like groker
Why do we need more shit to synergize with groker lmao
iām fine with that, itās econ
.
Throw discard builds a bone
grimbo isnāt direct synergy with delgratty
It's the same kind of build you're using it in
I hate Bloodstone
itās an econ crasher
The kind where your scaling off of hands played and not using any discards
So yes they synergize, if indirectly
nah just change blue stake and its fine-ish
i think we should see the state delayed is in after blue stake rework first
and nerf rebait
and maybe yorick too
part of what makes delgrat so awful rn is that it's just golden joker with an additional stipulation
I mean sure but that still makes it pretty niche for prolonged usage imo
itāll be better than golden while cheaper
67
at its
go to bed
omg
67
6$ per round is above average even if the downside is pretty inconvenient
1600
It's a discard joker that's anti synergy with most other discard jokers because it doesn't really work in the same kind of builds they go into
banner:
ramen:
You can use a discard or two with banner is the thing
blue :3
67
67 bricks thrown at you
74
Which is why I said just remove the no discards spent thing
brick to the pipi
discord why are you having a stroke
67
just remove the flavor of the joker while youāre at it
84

This wouldn't improve its upper limit, jusy allow builds that want to use discards to slot it in
i can't do this
By this logic banner has no flavor lol
the no discards condition is part of the joker's theming
In what way š¤
74
itās practically edging but with econ
Mini Motorways
you are denying immediate value for future value at the end of the round
thanks fork
You still have that without the no discards thing. You're gratified more by discarding less regardless
in the case of banner, banners are a sign of confidence

what thatās not the same thing
there doesn't need to be a no discards condition for it to fit the theme
Do I do it? š
I'm pretty sure I'll lose the run if I take it
Right thats what I mean
also it would literally just outclass golden joker without it next update
so
that wouldn't be an option
take it and sell if you dont wantg it
it will have a niche next update
But then my build will be ruined
then sell it
wheel
common econ jokers don't have to be powerful
or death the ace
parking and rebate are just exceptions
unless for some reason golden gives 6 dollars at the end of the round next update and rebait is untouched
I'd honestly trade a dollar per discard if it lost that other condition
why does gift card add 1 dollar of sell value to all jokers and consumables at the end of a round
I'm playing cruelty, I have only 3 slots
wheel
2$ per round average is pretty bad
š
I don't understand the flavor of a lot of the jokers tbh
I'm dying to know which one it is, and I still haven't unlocked perkeo yet
most of them that aren't obvious are some sort of pop culture reference
LET'S GOOOOOO
Not an e score but the highest score ive ever gotten, and i unlocked a new joker
temperance value!!
i wish i got this shop in round 1
I don't personally see a problem with it losing the other precondition cuz like ante 1-2 you often want to discard once or twice for some higher rank cards for chips even with scaling mult jokers, gold joker's going to give more consistent value early on
me when skip tag actually good
Fuck, should I replace chicot with Mr. Bones? The boss is violent vessel
Is stuntman a good joker?
chicot divides vessel
it's pretty good for smaller hands
If you're using a basic bitch pair build it'll have you set on chips for life
like it goes really well with the usual bus, grimbo or red card build
It seems like it would work well in plasma decks
initial purchase price can reflect its initial value benefit over delgrat. you can nerf photoballot by having the ballot retrigger the first two cards once but itāll wash out the flavor of the joker. del grat still functions fine with hand scalers
In this specific case, Mr. Bones will require me to score 75k, while Chicot will make me require 100k
I hate Bloodstone
do you really not reach that with aj seltzer
you have fucking aj seltzer nothing matters anymore
lol
i guess things can be harder if you fullskip
I assume you mean hanging chad? I think retriggering first two played cards once makes even more sense flavorwise if you think about it
I'm scared š
Cruelty is so hard
It represents the two lead candidates
thatās not w-
You're whining about flavor lmao
Is photograph, hanging chad, and blueprint good for first 3 jokers? Do they have synergy
"nothing matters anymore" š
sure that works
I think one of my first gold stake wins was with aj and seltzer actually
ig
Yeah, but it was close
That was a fun build
what the fuck
how
that's genuinely impressive
Wdym
You still have mr bones you win anyways
grrr
Have you done gold needle yet?
aj usually scores far more than this
I just beat that challenge a couple days ago
19 down, 1 to go
Yeah, even idk what happened
Jokerless ain't too bad
this does not align with burgerlands voting methods during the 2000 elections
it is one hole punch
one 

Gee I wonder
I forgot the Psychic forces you to must play 5 cards. Playing the Fragile challenge is... challenging. This game is fun. š„
I want to eat a polyglass ace of hearts
one way to unlock andrew
Red seal
@tame cobalt I remember now
The polyglass gives x9 and I had checkerboard, so that's approx 100k x 30
The retriggers is about having to do a recount
Red Seals and some jokers love the retriggers. I'm looking at you Mime.
Jokerless is miserable š£
It's the one challenge I have left. It's hard as nails.
its a challenge deck
iām aware https://www.npr.org/2018/11/12/666812854/the-florida-recount-of-2000-a-nightmare-that-goes-on-haunting
I have to scavenge for Lucky Cards and Glass cars. Planets are situational
theyāre practicing
tru
of course it was florida
I feel like saturns would be the most important (as revealed by that one guy yesterday)
It's an interesting challenge deck. You're basically playing what made Balatro, Balatro. Good luck using Tarot cards.
I'm aware of what it's referencing. You can just think of the retriggers being for two cards because they have to recount the votes for each candidate
Who is Andrew?
Is that a secret joker or something?
I thought it was a joker too lol
I have no idea what this has to do with delayed grat
what's up people
that's a fun one
Chipping away at gold tickers
Ugh
That's not a pun shut up
I swear my last few took weeks
I skip everything, rush to the boss, play straights or flush or colors, losing so many cards, lol
It's an actual horror game.
I just got seance and gold joker done today which was nice
why would i vote for two ppl though, itās either al gore or pat whatever his last name is
I hate Bloodstone
I never felt anxious on a challenge when I saw this one. You have to make sure you're not playing and breaking cards. Yet the Wall is so dangerous lool
what's left
something you unlock from winning in 12 rounds or less
They have to count up the votes for both regardless lmao
it's fucked me over many times yeah
If you voted for a third party candidate that ballot could be ignored but that's it
Wee Joker?
Ohhhh, merry Andy
Throwback Joker is with 12 rounds or less
I don't fw merry andy
Throwback Joker, haha
huh
wrong joker, that one's merry andy
Shoot, I forgot, my bad
throwback is weirdly easy to unlock
I'm been trying to unlock all jokers. Legendaries are a roll of a dice. haha
lmao they sure are
And winning 12 rounds or less is fun on Blue Deck. An extra hand, skips, I managed to get 12 rounds
it gets easier when you unlock other decks that work for that unlock better
just play out plasma for the first two antes and full skip after
That's a good idea
triple less go
I did that once with Yorick and it something to behold
and i just found a cat
And the hardest Joker to unlock has to be the Stuntman, thank you Plasma Deck ā¤ļø
I can think of a few harder ones
Legendaries, lol
nvm i found a blueprint
I cant remember but that one where u have to like do something with a bunch of 7 of clubs
seeing double
hi
playing 4 7 of clubs
Easy, the Magic Deck
yeah, that one is inconvient because I just like never think to do it while in a run
andrew is practically the hardest to purposefully unlock
Seeing Double*
that one is tough since you do have to go out of your way
sell bloodstone
alr
accidentally it could be like idk glow up voucher or some shit
good econ ig
For the longest time the hardest were the Vouchers. I swear I spent time in the seas looking for Hone Joker, lol
meh
Glow Up**
It was Glow Up that never showed up, lol
I realized that Glow Up is the least bought in my games.
Hardest to unlock accidentally would be hat trick's upgrade
Nobody willingly buys hat trick unless they have hologram
On my mobile Balatro is the one I'm missing, lol
There should be a joker that doesn't do anything but give you encouragement every hand you play
low shop weight and c9 are good candidates
but it glazes you like chatgpt LMAOO
Jimbo appears on each round lol
on my replay I don't have it because I don't feel like throwing my runs by picking up magic trick lmao (unless i have hologram)
Wdym low shop weight
Thaat and DNA
dna only gets really strong when you have a copy joker
But that can be extremely risky on Black Deck, it happened to me once.
"Awesome work with that High Card šŖš„ Next up, win this ante and we're going to the moon š"
vouchers:
Merchant Vouchers change the weights from 4 to 9.6
Tycoon Vouchers change the weights from 9.6 to 32
Ghost's spectrals have a weight of 2
Magic Trick cards have a weight of 4
I'm going to generate as many plain 7 of diamonds as humanly possible
Has anyone every WON with a Straight Flush?
uhhh I highly doubt it
Me
i have several builds with it on gs
Just kidding
I never seen anyone on Youtube ever do that.
I managed a straight flush build probably less times than I can count on 1 hand
obviously
usually the luck runs out
There's no real incentive to make strush builds cuz seance is poo
hold r
I've done it with 4 fingers and smeared, but I dont think I won the run
thats not the reason
type unbind all in console
the reason is that saturn is really op
I think I lost to the eye cause I accidentally played straight flush instead of regular flush
That's like pressing Ctrl+F4 LOL
There's no incentive is what I mean
Regular old straights do just fine
yes
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
strush has insane scaling bu5 also has a lot of cost in deck fixing
sell bloodstone for BS LOL
My R button on my keyboard must be bored of being pressed down all day, lol
you'll still have a bloodstone
If seance was actually valuable in some way you might see people going for strushes a bit more
while straights also have good scaling but dont need to fix suits and ranks. just ranks
you should obviously sell a duplicate joker for that copy joker
seance is not poo with a straight flush build tho....
I hate Bloodstone
You definitely can, it's just rare pull off
it is poo
Bloodstone with Oops All Sixes is nice.
what
spectrals are contradictory to strush builds usually
i didnāt have one
That hurts, lol
benis
because a straight flush builds wants wild consumables that hurt your deckfixing
Bait used to be believable
what if i told you i did it twice :3
Once you have a consistent way to make strushes, you probably won't have much reason to use the spectal cards it generates
It's easier with Smeared Joker
In a row?
this move was a brick to the pipi
Yeah but like spectral are awesom
in a streak run :P
o
You need to get outside more
But bbc
Idk, I've never done a straight flush build cause I'm too impatient
It's not actually that hard to start playing strushes semi frequently if you're going for a specific range of ranks and turning those ranks into one suit
ah yes play the hardest hand in the game consistently for.... spectral cards rather than the fact the planet scales stupid
cool cause i didnāt seance is professional dust collecting
Just do a regular heart flush build with bloodstone and ur good
iām not doing that
even without oops bloodstone is alright
that shit almost killed me four times in that strush run
without oops bloodstone is an empty slot
But there's still not a ton of reason to go out of your way for a strush build generally I'd say
I'm just saying thats what I'd do cause Im too impatient for strush
Let me buy shortcut, smeared, and four fingies for my seance
It's a really hard hand to pull off, unless you have Shortcut, Smeared Joker, and Four Fingers
bait used to be believable
The 6,7 and 8 were face down š
I got the luckiest play ever omg
if seance was changed what should it be
obviously but seance sucks even if strush was bett3r
youre playint strush your ass doesnt use spectrals
iām still not doing this for a bare minimum fl*sh build because of how ass it is on gs in terms of consistency
𤣠67
I forget who it was but someone had the idea of making seance work more like driver's license and once you perform a strush like once or twice it just generates a random spectral each round after that
I think that'd make it a much better card
Interesting
ancient joker but way worse is a terrible joker accept it
I disagree, flush is overhated imo
itās deemed inconsistent on gs for a good reason
ancient joker is worse than Bloodstone? š
I wish it scaled better on Purple Stakes
gs?
gold stake
No... Gold Stakes doesn't mess around
I recently used a flush build to beat orange stake on blue deck
Flushes scales terrible
the highest difficulty where consistency and scoring intertwine
What Jokers did you possess?
nope. ancient joker is way way better on gold stake just for lacking the boss weakness and random scoring aspect
you know i would disagree with this but i always remember just good runs dying because i couldn't draw a fl*sh
anecdotal
you can build around ancient while deck fixing
this is undeniably true unfortunately
I think suit builds get a bad rap
šš¤£ š«²
š«±
bloodstone already has the disadvantage of not being used with black suits (which you build towards by default on gold stake because of blackboard)
You can avoid debuffing if you just play a suit that got its debuff boss blind early in the run
well iāve always made my suits black so
and seeing double. and arrowhead
black suits are great
Hmmm... I cannot remember that well unfortunately. It involved blueprint and arrowhead iirc
onyx agate also right
diamonds are solid with rough gem but hearts are terrible
Not bad, not bad.
so flush build works when you get one of the few good flush jokers
makes sense sure
maybe red suits just need more incentives so better xmult or more cool effects
Any luck on Gold Stakes?
I'd love a retrigger suit joker at some point
and a fucking blueprint
Y'all, give me some tips for jokerless, I can't get past ante 5
Maybe for diamonds
Blueprint and Brainstorm, the most famous Jokers.
Glass cards
thats a fair argument, boss weakness is the biggest argument against Bloodstone imo
Straight
Dont' rely on Planet cards, try glass
It's biggest weakness is the rng
play straights
The 1 in 2 is bigger
ngl i forgot glass existed whn i did jokerless
I just beat Blue Deck GS the other day :D it was my 4th GS win
me and zebra conjured a red themed joker to counteract blackboards dominance by introducing a joker that puts red seals on red suits
This sounds
Strong
well
Bravo! š
Most famous gay girls
well its the same rng as business card, which is a pretty strong econ joker imo, and most people seem to like business card
the practically free 3x mult blackboard for the best gold stake builds is also good
I think people hate on bloodstone because its not good for endless runs
The difference is you don't die if you get a bad roll with business card
for ante 8 runs its pretty decent
itāll even out the playing field in gs in practice since it still requires setup whereas bb works right out of the box and actually provides scoring
Fuck no
I don't play endless and I still think it sucks
people hate on bloodstone cuz its become a bit
no the fuck itās not, itās competitively in the bottom 10
I always Jimbo as a guy lol
??????????
yes because relying on getting a specific other joker is signs of a good joker
i'm sorry, does business card fucking kill you when it takes a nap? š
not hitting a money shot and fucking dying are two different scenarios
you can miss money triggers and live. you cant do the same for score
thatās the main reason, xmult is something you need or youre screwed
Im two steps ahead yall
i said this months ago
bloodstone also has the disadvantage of being an onscored xmult joker which usually kind of just sucks
:3
damn
maybe it would work better as +mult alt to onyx
bloodstone was born on hard mode with how many shitty traits it has
I got no cookies to give
Why does everyone hate bloodstone what does it do
1 in 2 chance to kill
Nothing half the time which is why it sucks
cool
Why is it so specific
It's a meme
that isn't what it does lmao
I wouldnāt know
source?
or up the chance to 75% perhaps
it's a 1 in 2 chance for x1.5 mult on scoring hearts
still rng but less worse
It's 1 in 2 chance to 1.5x mult when a played heart card scores
Half the time? I had chad and my flush triggered only once
Idk man I make pretty good use of it if the run calls for it
That sounds good though
If it was like 1.3x and no rng it'd be a fine card
I'm not saying bloodstone is great
anecdote
1.2
of those runs how many die 2 antes later to low rolling
I'm just saying its not ass
thing is balatro im assuming is mathematically accurate, while most games inflate percents to make occurrences seem less common than they actually are
its bottom 10 im sorry
Bloodstone sounds good I donāt understand
I said like
which is why its so disappointing
its not
very few games lie about the percents
rng scoring in this game is very very bad
Because when it doesn't proc you die
if you're completely reliant on it for your score it can kill you if you're very unlucky which is why it's controversial. it is objectively a good joker it's just frustrating sometimes
relying on chance for score is terriblr
You don't have to be sorry š LMAO
they're sorry for your loss
Eh like 1 in 3
In a baron setup
Get this, there's a Vagabond with a and Credit Card. No money, I threw the Tarots into the Campfire. Best run I had.
I don't use bloodstone very often
ik what heās done
Can you show your deck?
maybe iām misremembering, but i remember it is a thing that happens and its for this exact reason
funny thing is bloodstone used to be 1 in 3 so it used to be actually pretty shit before the rework
LOL
I want a chips held-in-hand joker
bloodstone went from dogshit to dogshit
oh that reminds me I recently just got completionist :D
@buoyant fog spot the red flag
Here@vale wharf
From cowshit to dogshit
