[lunar zealot]

could have been soul but sure

i take venus here actually

LOL

i wish i had gotten vv to style on it

[cerulean parcel]

What should I do here

[quartz ember]

idk is there a problem

[proper turtle]

this is the 1st time I'm seeing this little touch of jimbo hovering over the rental symbol, like a 'hologram'

[paper vector]

Finally got around to getting my c++

As you can see i have not touched high score yet so maybe I will play around with those next

[latent egret]

damn c++ no e

thats crazy

no trib run ?

[paper vector]

I would just reset as soon as I cleared

[latent egret]

you can get e10 on at least 1 ante 8 run

[paper vector]

Some of my runs probably had e potential but I was just unga bunga clearing antes

[latent egret]

tdf if i didn’t get e50 or something on red deck on my first gold stake my high score would be e8 probs

[paper vector]

Yeah i think I just had focus on survival than doing anything fancy which probably shorted my scores in the long run for short term comfort

[latent egret]

i just got extra lucky

[subtle drum]

it is my pleasure to announce that i have now beaten every deck on purple stake

[latent egret]

like double trib + nat neg luchador is a free win

and a free e20 ante 8 easily

[paper vector]

Yeah my last joker was baron which has the potential to send you to the moon but he cursed every run he showed up in lmao

I just could not find very good deck fixing but if i decide to mess with this some more I could get some nasty numbers

[heady narwhal]

baron is garbage in gold stake

i've used it maybe once to sticker it and once with stm

[proper bronze]

can we get this person a true

[heady narwhal]

how much better would trib be ifi t was each played 7 or 8

[quartz ember]

free win

[rancid niche]

I get it!! I finally get it

OBELISK IS THE BEST JOKER EVER

[subtle drum]

hey i have a question

[tawny bough]

Eternal negative rental egg is the best joker prove me otherwise

[proper bronze]

you hit the balatro ascension

[rancid niche]

Negative gift card is much better

[rancid niche]

And I realized how much better it is on painted deck with trousers

[tawny bough]

Oo u just made me think of a new combo Vagabond+gift card

[rancid niche]

And blue jimbo

[proper bronze]

thanks horse 🐴

[tawny bough]

Well new to me

[rancid niche]

Vagabond is so nice with everything

[tawny bough]

Ive never actually used vaga

[violet bear]

Correct

[proper bronze]

that's not a combo

[rancid niche]

You're missing out

The one joker that I have no stickers on yet is the flower pot

[tawny bough]

Oh wait im thinking of credit card

Whats gift card again

[proper bronze]

awesome deck building tool

[violet bear]

+1 sell value to everything you’re holding

[proper bronze]

increases the sell price of jokers and consumables by 1

[tawny bough]

Ohh I see

[proper bronze]

CCIBP

[rancid niche]

Does anyone know if all the different suit cards should score in order to get flower pot value?

[vale shale]

Ccicpt

[tawny bough]

Credit card ? Blue print

[pale wolf]

each wild card counts as one missing suit per joker

[violet bear]

CCIBP

[proper bronze]

credit card in buffoon pack

[rancid niche]

That is not what I asked

[tawny bough]

OH YEAHHH

Lmao

[pale wolf]

they dont have to score but they must be in the "poker hand" (they have to be score-able, but can debuff)

[proper bronze]

CCIJIAP

[tawny bough]

Buffoon pack
looks inside
credit card

[rancid niche]

Alright that does answer my question thank you

[proper bronze]

credit card in judgement in arcana pack

[pale wolf]

also wild cards debuffed have no suit specifically for flowerpot

its a bug

[rancid niche]

Flowerpot could work in higher stakes with splash maybe

[proper bronze]

CCIJIFIEIVBIBP

[pale wolf]

its mediocre but can work very occasionally

[rancid niche]

If you're playing two pair or have splash

Splash is so good

I don't know what other people think of it but I personally find it amazing

[vale shale]

CCICPT

[rancid niche]

Playing pairs and lacking on chips? Pick up splash

[rancid niche]

What

[vale shale]

Credit card in celestial pack trust.

[rancid niche]

Only happens when you don't have a nat negative blueprint first shop

[proper bronze]

CCISPIST

credit card in spectral pack in skip tag

[rancid niche]

Wraith into credit card trust

[proper bronze]

ankh into credit card

[rancid niche]

Credit card into credit card

Into showman into credit card

And lose on round 4

[pale wolf]

imo its fairly niche, better used for value gen like including lucky cards and gold seals in other hands than somethng you need to keep around for scoring

[proper bronze]

showman in buffoon pack into invisible joker into credit card in spectral pack in skip tag

[rancid niche]

I keep it around for chips and sometimes even mult but rarely for mult

I pick up something like todd and I have a whole lot of chips playing pairs

Also good as a value generator

[slate sapphire]

absolute balala (lost the code)

[proper bronze]

having an argument with my wife rn

[rancid niche]

Been doing that for five days with my girlfriend

[pale wolf]

ive had 2 nat neg splashes in the past couple weeks https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1446942669627588668/InShot_20251206_140212774.mp4?ex=6937cc1f&is=69367a9f&hm=3f536f8a89b6d6aefe7473303232271f5b6bde5743ee00087a613c2fb21a67de& https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1443403810180563116/screen-20251126-194622.mp4?ex=6937728d&is=6936210d&hm=c6c90399bd5f9a779993edba24dd4c10445a19bffb525ccf9080a101e8b7334c&

[proper bronze]

😡

[pale wolf]

coincidentally one of my fav negative arts as well

[rancid niche]

You're so lucky

[pale wolf]

did she just watch you type that into here while fighting bc i dont think that'll help

[rancid niche]

I had a nat negative juggler and a nat negative troubadour in a high score run

[proper bronze]

i don't think she watches this chat

[rancid niche]

Easiest double ecto of my life

Plus bean bug so I did a third ecto lol

[tacit stream]

Flower Pot Straight runs exist lol. Literally carried one of my Painted Deck runs while Gold Sticker hunting

[visual arch]

guys

why is my ancient joker asking for hearts when i have no hearts in my deck

[proper bronze]

it doesn't look at your deck

[tacit stream]

AJ is "1/3 chance of any non-repeating suit"

[visual arch]

that's SO LAME

[tacit stream]

it ignores the deck

[visual arch]

my gold stake run is in shambles

[tacit stream]

If you play AJ, you trim your suits equally

[proper bronze]

get the same amount of cards for every suit

lmao

[visual arch]

noooooo

it's too late

[tacit stream]

or you could just play with the standard 52 card deck

[visual arch]

i've already done my deck fixing for spades and clubs only

i'm so screwed

[proper bronze]

it's not even deck building

you just start with any not erratic deck

[visual arch]

no i'm just talking about the run i'm on

[proper bronze]

press r

[tacit stream]

well... I once had a Gold stake run where I had Arrowhead, Onyx Agate and Bloodstone at the same time

I pivoted from Club Flush to Heart Flush in that run

[proper bronze]

i once had a greedy wrathful lusty and glutinous run

with wild cards

[visual arch]

idk how to pivot from this

[tacit stream]

(and I didn't even intend to build flush at first)

[proper bronze]

bro you can't lose on blue deck

[tacit stream]

guess you'll be looking for lovers and sun now...

or... into pair spam lol

[visual arch]

got another invisible joker

i'm going all in

this is hilarious

3.2 million in ante 6

[tacit stream]

Back on this run... I had to Flower Pot carry after getting a Canio at Ante 3 which also deleted almost all card destruction and stayed X1 until a glass face card broke in Ante 7 as the only successful scaling.
And guess what's the final boss? Cerulean Bell. On a Straight run. Relying on Flower Pot. That cannot oneshot.
I did KO the boss with 2 straights though.

[pale wolf]

actually its 100% chance for a nonrepeating suit

[hazy epoch]

how does diet cola work im confuse

[pale wolf]

when you sell it, you have a double tag

[hazy epoch]

whats a double tag

[proper bronze]

how does jimbo work im confuse

[pale wolf]

double tags mimic the ability of the next skip tag you take, it should be explained in your collection

[tacit stream]

100% chance for any non-repeating suit, therefore with an even split it's 1/3 for each of these 3 suits.

[hazy epoch]

so i sell then skip right?

[proper bronze]

it writes it on the side of the cola description

[hazy epoch]

ik im just stupid brah

[pale wolf]

yea you use cola before

it doesn't have to be directly before, you can hold the double tag for the entire game if you don't end up using it

[hazy epoch]

ohhh okay i see noww

niceee

[visual arch]

this is the most hilarious run of my life omg

[pale wolf]

swash sitting there like

[visual arch]

yeah... had to buy that for an emergency boss blind

[proper bronze]

bro thinks he's a part of the team

[visual arch]

and here i was thinking ancient joker would be really hard to get C++ with

easiest run of my life omg

3ZJGNV22

[rocky robin]

new record for me can someone put it in zeroes so a dummy like me can understand

[pale wolf]

[vocal rose]

you arent since you hate painted deck

[proper bronze]

hi

[hybrid tendon]

Painted deck hate is real

[slate lance]

THANK U

[proper bronze]

painted deck hate is not real. wake up

[slate lance]

Ghost deck is the best

[hybrid tendon]

Of course, I hate it so much

My most hated deck

That or green deck

[visual arch]

i'm having way more success farming jokers on blue deck than ghost deck

[slate lance]

WHA WHY GREEN DECK HATE

[proper bronze]

wake up. green deck is the actual best deck

[hybrid tendon]

No interest 😔

[slate lance]

Green deck has the best early game imo

[vocal rose]

its better

thats why

[hybrid tendon]

Interest is so much better

[slate lance]

Not me

Yesterday i had 3 ghost wins 1 yellow win 1 anaglyph

[hybrid tendon]

And actually lets you play and discard without losing money

[proper bronze]

wake up
wake up

[slate lance]

6 stickers on the qnaglyph

[slate lance]

Or just one shor

Shot

And u get shit ton of money

[hybrid tendon]

Girliepop what ?

[slate lance]

YeH

[proper bronze]

you hate green deck because i'm green, i feel targeted

[hybrid tendon]

You can't always get your winning play in the first hand the game gives

[slate lance]

Plus theres no reason tp stay over 25 at that point so u have more freedom

I had a lot of fun on green deck

[visual arch]

green deck was one of my quickest to gold stake

[slate lance]

I havent played it since c+ tho

[visual arch]

plasma and erratic took me the longest

[slate lance]

Myne was blue deck and checkered ngl

[hybrid tendon]

Well it was my 4th gold stake

Now I'm on black

[vocal rose]

c++ and blue deck

[slate lance]

Gl gng

[hybrid tendon]

Eh it's hateful ngl but I like it

[visual arch]

i also didn't find black nearly as bad as plasma

[hybrid tendon]

It doesn't feel unfair like painted, just feels hard

[slate lance]

I did it 4th so i hated it more cus i was new

[proper bronze]

wake up black deck is the best

[hybrid tendon]

Well it's my 5th

[visual arch]

i don't think i ever want to play erratic again

[slate lance]

Thats also pretty vad then yeah

[hybrid tendon]

Had a harder time on plasma orange for now

[slate lance]

Just wait till plasma

[proper bronze]

black deck if it haven't a downside

[slate lance]

I gtg class tho cya later vhat

[hybrid tendon]

Baii

[slate lance]

Byess

[proper bronze]

wake up

[hybrid tendon]

I gotta go to work soon

[vocal rose]

should I do 3rd c++

[hybrid tendon]

Sure

[vocal rose]

ok I will do third c++

[proper bronze]

can you do 4th

[hybrid tendon]

I'll probably do c++ before c+ and c lol

[vocal rose]

soon

[hybrid tendon]

I'm still missing perkeo and illusion for c

[half flint]

Any recommendations on how to get through Jokerless?

[proper bronze]

how will you c++ if you're missing perkeo

[hybrid tendon]

I got yellow and blue golded already so I can c++ on those

[vocal rose]

alright

[hybrid tendon]

Planets

[proper bronze]

baron mime is the most boring run ever

[tacit stream]

pair lobotomy

[vocal rose]

it isnt since its not a free easy win

[hazy epoch]

[onyx mesa]

HELPPPPP HELPPPPPPPP HELPPPPPPPPPP

[proper bronze]

[lunar zealot]

illusion doesn't add seals

[hybrid tendon]

Voucher

[pale stag]

im so close to c++ I cant wait

[hybrid tendon]

Upgrade to magic trick

[proper bronze]

no way sherlock

[vocal rose]

[torn drift]

[half flint]

Perkeo on Ghost Deck

[torn drift]

[pale wolf]

balatrodle spoilers in 4 (tough one imo today) https://www.balatrodle.com/
||use bars like this|| for ||spoilers||

[torn drift]

tf is balatrodle

[mortal nimbus]

balatro wordle

[pale wolf]

are you illiterate

[torn drift]

hm

[deft panther]

This run is a little ambitious

[torn drift]

how does it work

[pale wolf]

click on the website

and then you play

[torn drift]

i troed to play and i just choose random jokers

[deft panther]

I think I'm about to lose this run

I don't have enough +Mult

[torn drift]

oh

[hazy epoch]

y this game so fun

[pale wolf]

addictive gameplay loop

[steep iron]

hmmmm i dont think trading card worth it

or maybeeeeee

[hazy epoch]

is that a real card hahah

[proper bronze]

NO

[pale wolf]

I don't want to help you because you have that art swap

[steep iron]

i can help myself thanks

[latent egret]

its worth only if you dont need the face cards +mult

cause glass joker could go insane

[steep iron]

yea i dont need it

i took card

[hazy epoch]

[proper bronze]

oh qait i can't send gifs

[latent egret]

you can

[proper bronze]

the evil and tedious save button:

[latent egret]

you just have to send the file

[proper bronze]

it saves as a video

[hard dragon]

Finally beat completionist + today, at about 200 hrs of play time ^...^

[proper bronze]

good thing i have mp4 to gif google search

bad thing my internet sucks

the evil and intimidating delete account button:

[gloomy swallow]

I'm on a roll! 4 more jokers gold staked! 6 more and I will officially be half way there!

Glad to get the family out of the way

I feel like that one would've been a bit hard to build around

[steep iron]

nice

[lunar zealot]

have you ever seen an ante 3 driver's license fully online

HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAA

[manic talon]

vagabond or midas mask does that

[cosmic harbor]

should i take acrobat here?

[lunar zealot]

well

[royal bobcat]

That's what I'm gonna jump into

[pale wolf]

are ya winnin

[pale wolf]

probably better than sly right? depends on hand levels and perhaps deck composition

[lunar zealot]

yeah i think i am

4DFW7U3L

wheel keeps hitting apparently

[pale wolf]

dont car

[lunar zealot]

and that's the important part about this seed

not even the canio

no wheel just works this seed

[pale wolf]

hidden oops

[lunar zealot]

they weren't lying though

hanged man disappears the moment you get canio

or to an extent glass joker

[hardy fable]

for erosion too

your only hope is trading card

[thorny garnet]

i could be eggbucklering rn

i know this is not the best scaler but there is no world where i don't pick up the eternal egg here right

[gloomy swallow]

4 more gold sticked yet again! 2 more and I'm half way there!

[signal frigate]

You have foil, that Sly can go

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of midas mask???

[unborn apex]

bad

i did 2 copies of midas mask, it doesn't help like at all

[signal frigate]

That does absolutely nothing, also holy shit, Smiling Friends woman

[neat ore]

Midas....

[neat ore]

Mask...

[signal frigate]

Midas Mask triggers once

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of 5 copies?

[signal frigate]

10 copies.

[thorny garnet]

2 copies of midas mask for that double vampire synergy

trust

[signal frigate]

It's like having two Pareidolia

[neat ore]

More face cards!

Two faces...

[thorny garnet]

i mean double midas mask does actually do something in the very specific scenario that you do have 2 vampires

which im sure is a situation we all come across regularly

[signal frigate]

You achieve the same effect with one vampire though

[neat ore]

I had a 6 vampire run yesterday

[pale wolf]

it saves exactly one proc per card

[signal frigate]

Info so good, he had to say it twice

[pale wolf]

I literally have no idea how Google can be this inept

🦓

[unreal iron]

diabolical setup so far

what are you even building towards im having a hard time trying to understand

[thorny garnet]

pairs

[unreal iron]

well goodbye zany joker

[thorny garnet]

yeah i was mostly just wondering if i can justify it being eternal

[unreal iron]

unless if you can reliably? play 3oak

[unreal iron]

value generator

[thorny garnet]

im boring i will pairmax

true

[unreal iron]

i'd take it for zany, mayybe check celestial pack

[thorny garnet]

i have a blue seal

[unreal iron]

but it really depends rerolling also seems fine

[thorny garnet]

im not too concerned about the pack

[unreal iron]

then reroll

you definitely need better +mult

[thorny garnet]

yeah i do

eggbuckler will definitely help atleast

[unreal iron]

yorick ante 5 mega arcana pack

TRUUUUST me

[thorny garnet]

god i wish

[weak coyote]

what do i go for

[signal frigate]

None

Maybe that Mega pack

[weak coyote]

do i take the soul

[signal frigate]

You could probably go pivot to Kings

[thorny garnet]

whats your seal situation

[signal frigate]

What soul?

[weak coyote]

thats what im trying to do late game

[signal frigate]

Perkeo is the best hit here, you could probably just switch off of one of your Photos to see

[weak coyote]

let me try

[signal frigate]

If you get Perkeo, just go hard on Baron

[weak coyote]

chicot

damn it

its whatever

Ill just do a baron pivot

[signal frigate]

That's actually not bad

You can avoid Plant with that

[weak coyote]

i died

lmao

[signal frigate]

How the fuck

Did you have any levels at Pluto at all?

[weak coyote]

did not get a red seal king on ante 9

pluto was like at 7 or something

[signal frigate]

That probably explains it

[weak coyote]

i was not getting that many celestials

[signal frigate]

Yoh should still get good enough score since you have Photochad AND two barons

Also, your money is scarce

That could also contribute to it

[weak coyote]

is this a tuff build

i had all red seal gold jacks

[signal frigate]

Kinda

[weak coyote]

🥀

[signal frigate]

For white stake it is

Probably won't survive in Gold Stake

[weak coyote]

im just trying to go for ridiculous runs

[signal frigate]

Actually, it will cuz 500 dollar boots

[weak coyote]

i couldn't use it that much

boot strap ante 12

[signal frigate]

Yeah because Photo

[weak coyote]

the only mult i had

[silk field]

I think I got a good thingy but I’m not sure if it’s really good

[weak coyote]

thats tuff

[signal frigate]

Go hard on Wild Cards

[weak coyote]

the only tragic build i remember

boy

🥀

[signal frigate]

That build is extremely strong but it has 4 bosses to worry bout

[weak coyote]

plant fucked with me

[signal frigate]

This is why we get emergency glass numbered cards

[lunar zealot]

'extremely strong'

[weak coyote]

wouldn't have saved me

[silk field]

Do wild cards count for the rainbow thing joker

[signal frigate]

For high scores it is, but it's still plenty strong on Gold Stake runs

[signal frigate]

Ancient Joker will count it as all suits

That's the gameplan for it

[pale wolf]

doesn't really work in endless

[weak coyote]

ancient joker is bloodstone with more deck fixing

[signal frigate]

True

[signal frigate]

Not really

[slate lance]

Which is why u dont play endless

[weak coyote]

i had retcon lmao

[pale wolf]

aj is Bloodstone but consistent

[weak coyote]

i didnt see it was the plant

[signal frigate]

You typically wanna even your deck so you don't run into the problem of drawing the wrong suits

[slate lance]

Thats completely on you then

[weak coyote]

yeah i know

[frigid juniper]

What should i sell here to get a blueprint guys?

[void topaz]

aj is bloodstone but the head doesnt kill you

[weak coyote]

i got too ignorant cuz i woulda won

[pale wolf]

Bloodstone is AJ waiting for another uncommon Joker to make it viable

[void topaz]

not the right word

[weak coyote]

sell wee👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

[slate lance]

Wtf is aj

[pale wolf]

ancient

[slate lance]

Ohh right

[signal frigate]

How big's the wee?

[slate lance]

Thats kinda mid tho

Ancient

[pale wolf]

It's pretty good

[void topaz]

wtf is bro on about

[slate lance]

U gotta do a different flush every time tho

[weak coyote]

i was ignorant of the fact it could've been the plant and i forgot that it existed

[void topaz]

so?

[slate lance]

U cant rlly deckfix for that

[signal frigate]

It's pretty goddamn good, the hell you yapping?

[frigid juniper]

Its 618

[signal frigate]

Me when wild cards

[pale wolf]

yeah, it doesn't let you fix towards a specific suit, so you cut your deck down equally among all suits and add a few wild cards equally among suits

[void topaz]

thats not correct

[signal frigate]

It's a fun joker

[void topaz]

ignorant isnt just like

[weak coyote]

what would be correct

[signal frigate]

It actually makes you use your brain

[slate lance]

Which replaces the usual.good enhancements u could put on cards

[void topaz]

i dont think ignorant can be used here

[pale wolf]

except that it doesn't really matter what card the wilds go on

[signal frigate]

So? You can put seals still

[void topaz]

just like

unaware

[slate lance]

Too much work sighh

[void topaz]

or like no wait

[signal frigate]

And if you get either Hack or Sock and Buskin

[weak coyote]

exactly

[void topaz]

unperceptive?

[pale wolf]

I mean AJ is completely viable with no deck fixing at all anyways imo

[void topaz]

there we go

[weak coyote]

i was quite literally unaware of the plants existence

[slate lance]

If it was like watered down just like idol did itd be pretty good

[signal frigate]

You can go very far in endless

[pale wolf]

The chances of bottom decking your desired flush in a base deck is still very low

[void topaz]

yeah unaware isnt ignorant

[pale wolf]

and you only need one to win if you're playing AJ most of the time

[signal frigate]

Bro, Idol is like one of the worst jokers in the game

[weak coyote]

ignorant means lack of knowledge of awareness doe

[pale wolf]

aj is too much work for you but Idol is okay?

[slate lance]

My luck would pull like only 3 of that suit with all my discards amd hands used

[pale wolf]

idol is like the maximum amount of deck fixing you could possibly need for any Joker

[signal frigate]

But you'd rather wanna pull 1 card out of 52???

[void topaz]

ignorant is lacking knowledge in general

[slate lance]

Idol needs more ngl

Doesnt it

[void topaz]

not like at a specfiic thing

[signal frigate]

So much more.

Painfully more.

[slate lance]

Yeah

[weak coyote]

why are we arguing over this

[pale wolf]

considering AJ doesn't really need any

[signal frigate]

It's borderline torture if you're going for it in ante 8 runs

[weak coyote]

im sorry

[void topaz]

idols more usable on checkered ive seen

[weak coyote]

my bad gang

[slate lance]

I had a semi reliable idol and i only has like 4 non king cards and it still chose one of the non Kings

[signal frigate]

AJ's only downside is bossblinds

[pale wolf]

It's discussion
of the game

#🕹・game-discussion

[void topaz]

lol i saw a sentence that looked weird and my brain rejected it

[signal frigate]

You get hit with 4 of them

[weak coyote]

its about an english word and what it means

[signal frigate]

Sometimes 5 cuz Pillar sucks

[slate lance]

Bloodstone is better

[pale wolf]

oh you're talking about the ignorance thing

[weak coyote]

not really about teh game

[void topaz]

we were talking about the word ignorant lol

[signal frigate]

You're smokin some good shit my guy

[weak coyote]

without oops all 6's isn't it aj but worse

[pale wolf]

yeah, ignorance is unintentional unless it isnt, in which case it is called willful ignorance

[signal frigate]

I do love having to use one entire joker slot to make Bloodstone good

[slate lance]

Nuh uh

I love hearts

[void topaz]

dawg

[signal frigate]

It's fucking terrible lmfao

[slate lance]

UR terrible :[

The best suit tho is clubs

[weak coyote]

I dont even have bloodstone unlocked yet✌️😭

[white zodiac]

same

[void topaz]

why do we have suit prefrences

ok diamonds are ass

[signal frigate]

Well not terrible but it's unreliable, and you need to basically speculatively pick it

[weak coyote]

every single joker except bloodstone, arrowhead and the other one

[void topaz]

idk why they just are

[weak coyote]

HEY DIAMONDS ARE GOOD

[slate lance]

Just get on checkered deck and get a couple Sun tarots

[signal frigate]

There's money for Diamonds

[slate lance]

Or even deaths

[weak coyote]

my highest e build was because of a diamond

[pale wolf]

theres 4...

[void topaz]

i will never go for a diamond flush if i can help it for some reason

[signal frigate]

AJ is Bloodstone except it's guaranteed mult

[weak coyote]

i have the diamond one

[pale wolf]

oh

how???

[weak coyote]

idk

i just have that and not the others

[pale wolf]

just play checkered

and get like two suit changers

[weak coyote]

id rather eat boraz

borax

[void topaz]

do not eat the lorax

[pale wolf]

it might be worth not unlocking Bloodstone though, Arrowhead is definitely worth it

[slate lance]

Ngl maybe its better to lowkey leave them out to not dilute their shop even more

[pale wolf]

and you should definitely unlock agate too that's a good one

[weak coyote]

idk

they dont seem to be allat

[signal frigate]

Eh, Bloodstone is unreliable but Oopstone is definitely a fun build

[void topaz]

agate is just glut's older brother

[void topaz]

bro arrowhead is so good

[pale wolf]

You never use them

[white zodiac]

i do 👅

[void topaz]

you always have 300 chips

[signal frigate]

So even if I'm shitting on this joker, I still wanna use it from time to time

[hardy fable]

unlock me and auto win everytime you pick me up 😎

[slate lance]

With a spade flush*

[pale wolf]

yeah but like

[weak coyote]

boy you take away my whole hand size

[void topaz]

yeah just play a spade flush

[pale wolf]

The overall fun of the games will be increased because you'll never have to take oopsless Bloodstone

[hardy fable]

so? 250 chips is 250 chips

[pale wolf]

statistically most Bloodstone games won't find an oops

[signal frigate]

You don't have to, you can reroll past it

[void topaz]

say that to arrow head

[slate lance]

Mf i couldnt pull a pair using 2 discards and a hand i am not testing my luck

[void topaz]

it also gives 250 and no hand size draw back

[pale wolf]

but it would have been a different Uncommon Joker if you hadn't unlocked Bloodstone

[weak coyote]

arrowhead mogs stuntman

for a rare, stuntman aint it

[void topaz]

factual statement

[hardy fable]

was qou the one who glazes arrow

[signal frigate]

That's true but it's probably not gonna be that big'a deal

[silk field]

Is it worth it to have three negative joker but -6 hands ?

[void topaz]

idk

[weak coyote]

NO

[signal frigate]

Absolutely not

[hardy fable]

yeah because I deserve to be a legendary

[pale wolf]

hand size, and absolutely not
show the screenshot by the way

[void topaz]

what

[slate lance]

Arrow is definitely the best like flat chips

[weak coyote]

no you dont even deserve existence blur

blud

[void topaz]

oh 3 ectos

[weak coyote]

[pale wolf]

so you'll have a hand size of four

and you're playing ancient Joker

so you'll just die immediately

[weak coyote]

bro

[signal frigate]

For the suit jokers, I'd say it's great

[slate lance]

Wait whats the normal hand size

[signal frigate]

7

[weak coyote]

im 1 dollar short for blueprint on ante 1

[pale wolf]

8

[void topaz]

8

[weak coyote]

[signal frigate]

Oh right, 8

[silk field]

I have that joker that gives +2 hands

[void topaz]

dawg

[hardy fable]

I'm a 51x joker I'm the best fr

[pale wolf]

That doesn't change the fact that it'll be impossible for you to play a flush

[slate lance]

Wouldnt u have 2 with a 3rd ecto tho

[pale wolf]

lmfao

[weak coyote]

lucky cat clone

[signal frigate]

I never pay attention my bad

[slate lance]

Oh troub

Sorry

[hardy fable]

1, 2, 3

[slate lance]

What the ruck is that name

[pale wolf]

8-6 is 2

[pale wolf]

shes a community staple, very cool person

[slate lance]

6 - 7 is - 67

[signal frigate]

Anyways, I love AJ

[signal frigate]

All Xmult be like

[hardy fable]

I thought they were saying -2 handsize for 3rd ecto

[pale wolf]

and just so happens to be shadowspussy

[royal bobcat]

i think some names should not be allowed to be typed

[white zodiac]

love that one

[slate lance]

Ive never seen her 😭

And im pretty active here

[pale wolf]

go clutch some more pearls 😎

[slate lance]

Wha

[white zodiac]

You've only been here for a couple months

[pale wolf]

only for a few weeks

[silk field]

All my club cards are debuffed and my ancient joker needs club cards what do I do

[slate lance]

So what

I bought balatro a couple months ago

[hardy fable]

should've skipped

[lunar zealot]

We abbreviate baseball card as bbc

[white zodiac]

she's a whole annual event

[lunar zealot]

this is par for the course

[silk field]

Didn’t even knew I could skip

[hardy fable]

I propose making arrowhead into head

[vale wharf]

Is there even a point of a rental egg???

[signal frigate]

There's a mod that adds a 21 rank

[pale wolf]

sooo spussy has been less active in the period youve been here

[signal frigate]

Like, a card with 21 chips

[pale wolf]

temperance value, swash buckler I guess

[terse vale]

two temperance

[pale wolf]

and that is it

[slate lance]

Like christmas?

[signal frigate]

I think I know what mod I'm gonna play next

[pale wolf]

but no I would never take a rental egg

[pale wolf]

maybe with rebate

[signal frigate]

Or Swashy?

[royal bobcat]

i dont think "shadussy" is that much of a staple

[pale wolf]

never a renternal though

[signal frigate]

Nah probably not either

[royal bobcat]

i dont know em

[pale wolf]

I don't use

[slate lance]

What if gold stickering

[hardy fable]

also qou was so active before too

[signal frigate]

I rarely do because I never have the situation of keeping an egg

[pale wolf]

uhh I mean anything goes at the end of a run

[royal bobcat]

who tf is qou

[terse vale]

its common I can wait

[slate lance]

Never baron

[terse vale]

👀

[pale wolf]

I take egg quite often and it's actually a pretty good choice

[hardy fable]

guy who glazes arrowhead iirc

[royal bobcat]

im sorry if ure not kami vayn lilo zeba or thonk i don't know you

[hardy fable]

where's zoahl

[royal bobcat]

oh theres samba and jmibo

[pale wolf]

qou is a resident rudeboi that is decent at the game and is highly opinionated

[signal frigate]

Yeah, I do too but I never keep it for too long

[royal bobcat]

zoahl yeah

[slate lance]

Egg lets u get a massive amount of money quickly if needed and makes temperance so much better
Especially if yr stuck below 20 it becomes better than a double money rlly quickly

[royal bobcat]

i think thats it

[hardy fable]

oh dang dk who samba is

[terse vale]

ya qou is kinda mean for no reason but sometimes they’re spitting

[royal bobcat]

hologram fan hasn't been here in a long time

[terse vale]

whos vayn

[pale wolf]

qou is certified a-hole but me too sometimes

[hardy fable]

yorick hater

[signal frigate]

Yeah but the better version of that is gift card.

[pale wolf]

checkered master

[terse vale]

]*WAIT i remember thank you

[royal bobcat]

ewrick hater

[pale wolf]

vayn is legitimately probably one of the best in the world at playing checkered deck

because nobody else at that skill level plays it a lot

[hardy fable]

maybe i should use checkered for 200%

[slate lance]

I mean its a fun deck

[hardy fable]

but I'm stuck at orange stake green deck ;-;

[white zodiac]

if shadowspussy is christmas then Brooke:) is the grinch

[slate lance]

Uh oh

Why

[white zodiac]

omg I miss her

[pale wolf]

her? qou?

[white zodiac]

yeah

maybe

idk

[royal bobcat]

that qou person sounds like me on a bad day

[slate lance]

Btw genuinely how do i get better after doing c+
Do i just keep playing and naturally get experience or what

[hardy fable]

yeah

[royal bobcat]

yeah keep playin

always think about why u died

what went wrong

[pale wolf]

experience, and the amount of time that you're actually critically thinking about your play especially

[royal bobcat]

and how you could've fixed it

don't be like me and play in autopilot

it works to some extent

[signal frigate]

It fucked up my 4th profile permanently

[royal bobcat]

but its not great

[white zodiac]

mostly yeah, reflect on what you could've done better pretty much. losing is practically never because of luck

[slate lance]

40% i cant pull my hand type
30% skill issue
30% i dont read boss

[hardy fable]

but in my experience , at some point there comes a time where you're the best you can be and can't improve anymore, idk maybe it's different for balatro

[royal bobcat]

balaception

[pale wolf]

and then you have to analyze whether you're not pulling your hand type because of deck fixing errors, because of drawing errors, or because of a wrong choice in hand type entirely

[signal frigate]

Roffle John looks inside

[slate lance]

I mean how would i deck fix for a straight

[royal bobcat]

i dont watch balatro videos anymore

[pale wolf]

if a hand type is hard to pull, you don't try to use it until you have a deck that can consistently draw it

[royal bobcat]

laybe cuz i dont even plat the game anymore

[hard plover]

Marathon

[pale wolf]

You kill the high and low ends of the deck, building up towards the range that you want to play for straights

[white zodiac]

brooke shits on everyone in chat the moment she steps in

[slate lance]

I had a rlly good The Order run going but never found a shortcut and didnt rlly get many good dexkfizing

[signal frigate]

Kill higher ranks, get rid of duplicates and go for a desired type of straight

[terse vale]

get rid of aces 2s and kings and stuff

[white zodiac]

don't car holy yap

[royal bobcat]

whos brooke

[signal frigate]

2 to 6 is usually a good straight

[slate lance]

So like just get rid of like number cards if ur going for high straigjts

[signal frigate]

Cuz Hack can be used

[hardy fable]

0h yeah the car jokes originated from her

[royal bobcat]

who are these people

[slate lance]

What if the game doesnt give u many dexkfizing opportunities

[terse vale]

we losing the ancient scriptures

[royal bobcat]

someone help me

[hardy fable]

also car is never active too

[signal frigate]

Also, there's like 2 jokers that can help a straight

[white zodiac]

circumcise the end ranks*

[slate lance]

Shortcut and ff i didnt get any

[terse vale]

I miss cern

[signal frigate]

This is a Roguelike, you're never gonna get the desired outcome

[white zodiac]

truly the event of her time

[slate lance]

Ig so

[hardy fable]

forgot abt them ;-;

[slate lance]

Most of ky wins last night were from pair runs

[terse vale]

prioritize money more ig

[white zodiac]

she got me into reading yuri only to never finish past the penguins fucking part

[pale wolf]

probably like q high straight is the highest one you should fix for, anything more is just a waste of draw odds
I think J-high straight is the optimal range because of various face card Jokers, but you don't have to rely on it/ get destroyed by the plant

[signal frigate]

You don't wanna think that you're getting what you want, you're only getting what the game gives you

[royal bobcat]

always read yuri

[slate lance]

I swear i try 😭 i reroll abd buy arcana but dont get many helpful tarots

[white zodiac]

i like 5-J

[pale wolf]

That's what the doc does

[signal frigate]

Also, you can fix for Straights cuz Saturn is an incredibly strong planet

[white zodiac]

what's the first ante you open tarot packs

[signal frigate]

Pretty good scaling for a hard hand to fix for

[white zodiac]

no doc just rips ass on all the low ranks now

[slate lance]

But when i get good straight potential early game and then bad straight potential late its pretty hard to pivot away

[signal frigate]

Its also one of the viable hands to play in Jokerless

[slate lance]

Like ante 2

[pale wolf]

Like a video from like one or 2 months ago where he had to play straights he goes J high

[signal frigate]

Why would you pivot away after 5 antes?

[slate lance]

No shortcut
No ff
No blue seals
The first two make me not pull my straight and lose

[white zodiac]

that's what he plays but he doesn't outright remove kings and queens immediately or later on

since ig legendaries or what not

[signal frigate]

Again, this is a fucking Roguelike, you're never gonna get your desired outcome

[white zodiac]

but eh

[slate lance]

Whats wrong with starting ante 2?

Ante 2 is about where i have over 25

[signal frigate]

You usually need at least one good scoring joker to last

But I assume you haven't tasted Gold Stake yet

[pale wolf]

imo you need a very compelling reason to play straights as a build, shortcut or order usually (NOT runner. thats a pair joker. and i don't think four fingers is good enough to enable straights over pairs still)

[slate lance]

Yeah i get that in ante 1 usually

[thorny garnet]

every run is my desired outcome when im playing pairs

[slate lance]

I have c+

:/

[signal frigate]

I stand corrected that

But you get my point

[white zodiac]

slightly too early in realistic scenarios where you prioritize jokers over enhancements/deck fixing or what not

[slate lance]

Ig so

Shit ive got class cyall later

[vale wharf]

Oja or hacks?

[pale wolf]

neverweija

[royal bobcat]

erm proof? i need a 10 hours livestream where you get all stakes in a row and i will make sure there is not cuts

[pale wolf]

hex is an amazing pull here

[white zodiac]

hecks

[royal bobcat]

oujia is throwing

[signal frigate]

Absolutely Hex it.

All in on Madness

[vale wharf]

Why 😨

[thorny garnet]

ouija is throwing which is why you should alwayss do it

[royal bobcat]

ouija is garbage

[pale wolf]

-1 handsize makes it still harder to play 4oak

[vale wharf]

I'm hexing it 🤞

[signal frigate]

Ouija having that downside is what makes it garbage for me

[royal bobcat]

unless itsa VERY specific scenario

like i would do ouija on painted if i also have a sigil in the same pack

[pale wolf]

and then you get less value from gold cards, blue seals, it's harder to draw for things or dig through your deck

[royal bobcat]

but thats it

[white zodiac]

less rebate value

[vale wharf]

I mean, you can have a deck with 12 of a single rank if you're lucky

[white zodiac]

technically

[vale wharf]

Everyone, it's me bipeks btw

[royal bobcat]

yeah and 7 handsize

[signal frigate]

That's not the problem, it's the handsize downside that makes it fuckin terrible

[royal bobcat]

what are you going to do with 12 sevens

[signal frigate]

It shouldn't have that

[pale wolf]

but it's still 52 cards and youve reduced your ability to draw the 4oak you ostensibly take the ouija to be able to play

i do enjoy ouija on painted tho

[vale wharf]

14 of a rank if you're lucky with 9 hand size sounds like a good time

[signal frigate]

It is a VERY good feeling when it hits a rank your joker setup wants

[vale wharf]

Is it the worst spectra card?

[pale wolf]

or if you're holding a bean

[pale wolf]

most definitely

[signal frigate]

I once had a wee run and my first ouija hit 2's

[vale wharf]

Damn

[signal frigate]

Probably not

Actually yeah it is

[vale wharf]

I hate the -1 size, but I didn't know it was that bad

[signal frigate]

I was thinking about the card addition spectrals

[vale wharf]

I constantly use it

[pale wolf]

Like there are situations where it wouldn't be the worst pic, but generally yes it is

It's actively detrimental, it doesn't actually improve your game

much like ectoplasm is a lot of the time

[signal frigate]

But at least, those spectrals give you some slightly good cards

[signal frigate]

It honestly should've never had that downside

That's what's bothering me

[quartz ember]

bloats deck tho

[pale wolf]

yeah incantation is pretty bad, down there with Ouija most of the time, but it's highs are so incredibly High

[pale wolf]

it definitely needs a downside

[signal frigate]

Yeah but that downside though??

[pale wolf]

or perhaps a better effect to justify the downside

Like being able to choose what rank

[signal frigate]

Right now, I don't like that it has Ecto's downside

[white zodiac]

they don't know the times when it didn't have a downside

[signal frigate]

You're literally ruining your deck most of the time for it

[pale wolf]

at least the downside doesn't scale if you were going to take 2 ouijas in the same run for whatever ungodly reason

[signal frigate]

I'm saying, the current downside I feel isn't it

[white zodiac]

ik

[signal frigate]

That's at least a plus yes

[dense stump]

trying to beat this in under 12 rounds, should i take the photograph?

[pale wolf]

More context is needed

hand levels

[vale wharf]

The downside should be... -2 handsize for the next 3 blinds

[signal frigate]

Probably better than Scholar unless you have a fuckton of Aces

[signal frigate]

Dude considers photograph and the plant is coming up

[pale wolf]

plant 😭

[dense stump]

might be cooked

[quartz ember]

lmao

[signal frigate]

Your Throwback (ew.) should be high enough

[pale wolf]

playing straights, do you win the next round without scholar

considering that photograph will not contribute to the boss Blind scoring

[vale wharf]

I'm laughing, this is the stupidest joker ever lmao

[pale wolf]

scholar is pretty abysmal for straights, The two straights that Ace is in are on opposite ends of the deck

[pale wolf]

rental cola is slick

[signal frigate]

Hey, free tag

[pale wolf]

why does cola specify that the tag is free

obviously it's free

[dense stump]

eternal cola might be worse lmao

[pale wolf]

if it were possible

lul

[dense stump]

is it not?

[pale wolf]

no it's not

[signal frigate]

I don't think it's free because you technically still pay for it

[pale wolf]

I mean look at the screenshot, looks pretty free to me

[vale wharf]

Give me some tips for madness, I don't want to screw up this run

I can just buy lots of jokers in boss blinds, but idk how to survive big and small

[pale wolf]

eternal jokers

[quartz ember]

buy eternal jokers semi-liberally

[signal frigate]

Yeah the rental makes it free

[vale wharf]

Ah, of course

[quartz ember]

dont buy non-eternals

[hardy fable]

because you get tags by normally skipping and skipping costs you money and stuff

yeah

balatro

[royal bobcat]

it's not free, it's fee

[pale wolf]

yeah like, The tags never cost money, it costs a shop+blind which were worth money

It's not like cartomancer tells you that it gives you a free tarot card, it just generates a tarot card

[hardy fable]

yeah dk why would they add free, do you think other ways to get tags such as making it appear in shops via voucher is a good addition to the game?

[pale wolf]

I think similar Jokers to cola for other tags is a great idea

especially coupon tag

[white zodiac]

i can think of some extra credit options

[pale wolf]

In fact, I would be okay if some of the tags were removed from being skips, and were only accessible through Jokers

[shell dagger]

Taking heiroglyph a lot in this series of runs

[white zodiac]

the indirect skip buff the game asked for

or didnt

[pale wolf]

madness glyph is so fun

[shell dagger]

Ante 2 heiro, I already had madness and an investment but no flat mult

Then got grabber anyway

[white zodiac]

practically free risk wise

o

[pale wolf]

I take glyph voucher when I have madness no matter what, even if I was going to win the run anyways

[shell dagger]

I took a handy tag which probably wasn’t correct

Once I had boots

[pale wolf]

for how much

[shell dagger]

About 50

[pale wolf]

seems fine

[white zodiac]

(has like 300 in the bank)

[pale wolf]

yeah but like what is the shop going to give you if you're already full on jokers and playing pairs and have no econ joker (ignore business card)

is that hologram on the right

[shell dagger]

Blackboard

[pale wolf]

I wouldn't skip with hologram 🦓

[shell dagger]

Completely unnecessary

[pale wolf]

okay cool

[shell dagger]

honestly haven’t had a run that struggled in ante 8 for a while

blue deck is just too good

[pale wolf]

are you streaking blue right now

[shell dagger]

yes

[pale wolf]

you need to get 100

[white zodiac]

12 mult with my boots and cats

[pale wolf]

beat sui

[shell dagger]

true… only 81 to go

[white zodiac]

or at least 92

or whatever tf the number is

[pale wolf]

94 would beat sui

93 blue streak

[slow iris]

blue deck so good

[pale wolf]

sui convinced me blue deck is de way

[shell dagger]

the original goal for me was 10 and ive blown past that

[white zodiac]

if I beat brookes streak I'll be happy

[shell dagger]

20 would be nice, any more is whatever

[white zodiac]

10 is way too easy lol

[pale wolf]

at some point, to improve your streak you kind of need to play faster in order to get it done in a reasonable amount of time, which would reduce your level of play

[shell dagger]

my best before was 6

[white zodiac]

i think blue yellow and abandoned were my only 15 wins that I've streaked first try

[left juniper]

I love Balatro

[shell dagger]

bilateral

[pale wolf]

I don't understand why I'm so bad at yellow deck

comparatively to the other good decks

[vale wharf]

Will madness always target the non eternal in a lineup? I have a brainstorm in the shop

[pale wolf]

it skips eternals yes

[shell dagger]

me too I can’t stop myself from rerolling 3 times in da first shop 🙈

[vale wharf]

Ouch

[shell dagger]

depending on the ante and other jokers it could be worth taking the brainstorm and fullskipping

polychrome trousers is fucking beautiful woah

[white zodiac]

they always come in pairs of twos

[left juniper]

I like this joker order because it's totally fine but I know xMult not being on the right will still slightly annoy people

[shell dagger]

probably too early then

[pale wolf]

for a second I thought you had taken a picture for each of the trousers scores

[white zodiac]

i think I've done that before when they were off sync

[pale wolf]

ok, i have a point to make: why can diet cola and luchador not be eternal if they are still copyable?
