[smoky bobcat]

will this guy help

[wheat haven]

It might help my tags go off the screen

[smoky bobcat]

my second last sticker but its perishable :(

[pale wolf]

one is better

and despite what some people say, rarity can indicate some kind of strength

[robust lance]

You can still sticker when debuffed

[void topaz]

it still gets gold sticker if its perished

[smoky bobcat]

i know but i wanted it to have literally any amount of value via a wheel

though ig with abandonned deck i can probably make it work

[void topaz]

[robust lance]

No

[potent tree]

my jacks decided not to come out of hiding. straight got to level 34 i'm happy to say

[smoky bobcat]

[void topaz]

[potent tree]

hey you gotta try somethin right

[smoky bobcat]

i mean the lucky could proc who knows

[void topaz]

straight buld on blue stake

how has bro managed this

[wintry ice]

good discarding

[potent tree]

without handsize buffs too

also i had like 4 blue seals

onto purple stake then.

immediately stuntman...

[wheat haven]

Another chad added to the collection

[potent tree]

stacked loadout by ante 2...

[wheat haven]

🔫

[potent tree]

gottem

[smoky merlin]

indeed we did

[potent tree]

stuntman now has a rainbow over his head

[fervent wolf]

Winning or losing chat

[potent tree]

you're planning to tank it without selling?

[fervent wolf]

I'm selling egg

[potent tree]

ah in that case easy dubs

[fervent wolf]

That is, if I pull the glass card

[potent tree]

what's your hand and level

[cosmic maple]

A flush house build would go hard

[long oxide]

Do I take family

[fervent wolf]

Win

[potent tree]

noice

pairmaxxing is best maxxing

[rugged bloom]

oh my fucking god bruh

[rugged bloom]

do I take the DNA

[long oxide]

What's ur deck

[woven spire]

whats ur deck

[rugged bloom]

awfully personal question 🤨

[fervent wolf]

I wasn't running pairs

[rugged bloom]

very unfixed rn lol

[long oxide]

Then yes take it

[robust lance]

Looks pretty fixed to me

[woven spire]

WHAT is baron doing.

[robust lance]

(Ingores it’s checkered)

[woven spire]

lmao

[rugged bloom]

genuinely tho i skip it?

[woven spire]

I would prolly sell baron ngl

[woven spire]

funny numba

[rugged bloom]

but

but

Baron mime

🥺

[long oxide]

What do I swap out

[robust lance]

Sells baron
And gets like 5 kings immediately

[potent tree]

wraith gave me trio when i need duo...

[robust lance]

Hard shift to three of a kinds

[potent tree]

but but my pair is already level 14...

[robust lance]

Hard. Shift.

Not soft. Not flaccid.

[woven spire]

theres like 6 kings in a gazillion of other cards

[solid garden]

rare sight of succesful full house build

[solid garden]

GG!

[rugged bloom]

Trust in the speculative baron 🙏

[woven spire]

flowerpot being useful?

[solid garden]

nah, just for the sticker

[dreamy creek]

[rugged bloom]

take the DNA and sell the Baron then?

[solid garden]

it was useful for like one random hand lol

[wheat haven]

My double tags have escaped my screen

[woven spire]

At this point do wtv you want 😭

[rugged bloom]

fair enough

[woven spire]

lol

[rugged bloom]

selling the brainstorm

[woven spire]

.

so we are throwing today

[rugged bloom]

it's eternal lol

also i'm thinking

is it okay to look up my seed after i complete it to look for jokers?

[buoyant ridge]

what am i doing wrong here

my mult just cant beat this

[shell dagger]

Doing flushes

[woven spire]

huhhhhh idk.

[woven spire]

That MIGHT be because you dont have enough mult.

[solid garden]

you don't see roffle or doc pulling up the seed analyser after ante 8 so I don't think so

[rugged bloom]

i guess

[woven spire]

they have streamer luck tho

That should be considered cheating too

[potent tree]

zero handsize buffs and i died.

[solid garden]

fair enough

[potent tree]

damn

[solid garden]

also, 9 jokers left!!

[woven spire]

?c++¿

[potent tree]

you got this

[solid garden]

I'm gonna spend an eternity looking for those

[solid garden]

yeah

[potent tree]

it took me 500 hours to 100% one savefile

[solid garden]

thank s:3

[solid garden]

222h rn

[buoyant ridge]

i think im playing plasma my whole time wrong

[atomic trout]

Kinda sad that the Brainstorm can't help the Hallucination Joker.

[woven spire]

its compatible tho?

[atomic trout]

I couldn't tell 🤣

[pale wolf]

was going for aces but ok

[atomic trout]

It keeps giving me one Tarot

[solid garden]

it just happened not to proc twice

[mortal nimbus]

If hallucination missed giving a tarot, then brainstorm might be able to make one. You have two independent 1/2 chances

[solid garden]

if it does proc twice bc of brainstorm, it does give two taros

[novel moss]

Well, it's 2 50/50s so 50% chance of one tarot, 25% of 2, and 25% you get nothing.

[pale wolf]

on average you get 1

normally on average you get half

[cosmic maple]

Do I drop smth for it?

[pale wolf]

no lol

[woven spire]

nope

[cosmic maple]

Why not? I want to know why if that's fine

[woven spire]

chad and bloodstone are just better, you only need 2 triggers of it to be better than the tribe

perkeo and bp are self explanatory

[atomic trout]

Maybe it's my luck

A free discard 🤣

Damn DRUNKARD

[heady narwhal]

sell everything for redcard

[pale wolf]

is there any situation in non endless that you reroll the wheel boss blind

[atomic trout]

A Stormy Cloud 9. That poor drunk...

[heady narwhal]

straights + 2 eternal oops

[pale wolf]

holy bones

I'm using him

[potent tree]

I hate Hieroglyph

[heady narwhal]

me too!!!

[minor portal]

petroglyph is where it's at

[trim rover]

Second gold stake win!!

First ghost deck, now yellow deck

[pale wolf]

i gotta get 2 4oaks with 12/53 aces on wheel

should be fine

[heady narwhal]

reroll for needle

[floral mural]

that bones is there for a reason right?

[pale wolf]

already passed needle with randomly drawing my 4 kings and 0 aces

[floral mural]

youre safe either way

[pale wolf]

for ante 8 i hope

[latent egret]

straights maybe

[floral mural]

unless you draw no aces all hands

[atomic trout]

Oh my goodness. It can brainstorm baseball

[heady narwhal]

what's fortune teller

[pale wolf]

it's better known as purple joker

[heady narwhal]

the overtuned one from extracredit?

[pale wolf]

41 :3

[heady narwhal]

that's a lot of tarots

[pale wolf]

no purple seal til last round either

[atomic trout]

Needs Vagabond

Be poor and Vagabond for the tarot joker

[pale wolf]

it's fine

that middle one could be an ace but i don't need to find out

and now i win

[brave goblet]

The rare wet vampire run

[wheat haven]

Always worth grabbing hand voucher ante 1 right?

[potent tree]

damn michel stopped expiring for me

[mortal nimbus]

you can't always afford to take it, and even if you can take it then, you often set yourself back on econ and scoring due to needing to skip over any potential scoring for the next ante

[wheat haven]

yeah im probably dead lol

[latent egret]

if you have the slightest bit of scoring id say yes

[wheat haven]

I had no scoring and I died

[pale wolf]

oh i megawin

[wheat haven]

Well i found a jupiter but honestly I can never draw flushes

[latent egret]

based and hold r pilled

[latent egret]

isnt it the same

using bones is even better

you only need 300k

vs 400k with luchador

[sharp falcon]

Got a new gold stake PB had a few glass

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[pale wolf]

yea but if i reroll

i kept bones anyways bc he's more fun

[sharp falcon]

I mean it's just a way worse ancient joker

[pale wolf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1448420733276524554/screen-20251210-160533.mp4?ex=693b326d&is=6939e0ed&hm=2ef05407be93d755c6322ee26aa739489ac9aefc31b7177728bedbecbcd55c00&

[latent egret]

i didnt see the reroll option on the pic

[sharp falcon]

Ancient joker is my favourite one in the game

Any retriggers and it's a free win

[latent egret]

bones costing 3$ after its gone is a load of bs

[pale wolf]

lol

[latent egret]

how you gonna charge me when you’re gone

not only dead but gone

[stark karma]

did ya'll see the leak?

1.1 update got leaked

early version

I don't know how to feel about it tbh

[latent egret]

1200x67

[stark karma]

must be some debugging thing

really curioys about these new jokers

[opal delta]

are we ever gonna get an april fools for balatro

[stark karma]

there are 151 fools already in the game what are you talking about

[opal delta]

I mean like

how minecraft always has an april fools snapshot

[icy fable]

I always tought
That 151 jokers
We're a reference to og Pokémon

[stark karma]

it is

Balatro said so in an interview

[icy fable]

Peak

[atomic trout]

Got eye jabbed.

[wheat haven]

I got a negative marble joker on round 1, so im gonna have a lot of stone cards to work with lmao

[stark karma]

you gotta do the archaeology build now

you'll have room for dagger

[peak plinth]

This seed has a nat negative ride the bus and 2 soul cards. I didnt take the soul cards so I dont know what's in them

[wheat haven]

I will try my best

[stark karma]

lmk how that goes

just dont dagger anything important

[wheat haven]

i might be dead to the wall

[stark karma]

rough

[wheat haven]

rip

[stark karma]

sad

[atomic trout]

Who's worse?

[stark karma]

depends

as most things do in a roguelike

[acoustic kettle]

I'd say

[stark karma]

they're both kinda non problems if you know what you're doing

[acoustic kettle]

Uhh

Heart i guess

[atomic trout]

Heartbreaking

The leaf blows off LOL

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

heart 95% of the time

[acoustic kettle]

Sfill though unless heart hits the biggest xmult every hand it's not really a problem

[cosmic sun]

heart

[acoustic kettle]

VV

[atomic trout]

Then again; I always go for Negative Tags

[stable glacier]

guys i got an insane plasma straight game going rn and i've been faced with the most difficult tarot pack in my 80 hours of balatro

[atomic trout]

Damn straight

[stable glacier]

fool would give me a neptune which i'm obviously trying to pivot towards rn

[stable glacier]

cant tell if this is fire or the worst pun ever

[atomic trout]

I'm on fire 🤣

[atomic trout]

I say pun

[serene forge]

feels like neither would really be an issue in that case

[stable glacier]

which tarot u think i should pick monkey

emperor is like my most used lmao

[serene forge]

unless all your negatives are eternal of course, but leaf often just does nothing to begin with

[atomic trout]

I usually go for Emperor if I have no other option 🤯

Always Wheel of Fortune after Ante 8

[stable glacier]

i mean it's not like i dont have enough ace of spades

def need more kings tho

[nocturne root]

Be so fucking fr 😭😭

[atomic trout]

And the Emperor. Give me Death, Fool!

But the Emperor is very random. I usually get the NOPE wheel

[stable glacier]

trueeee

[atomic trout]

Jeeeeze

[stable glacier]

but like

imagine if i got fool and world

[nocturne root]

A single fucking E off

[stable glacier]

like daaamnnnnnn 😩

[atomic trout]

The World in your hands.

[stable glacier]

i just realized i have two kings in my hand lmao

i probably should hit world

[atomic trout]

Based on that, you're not going for Flushes*

[stable glacier]

obelisk is at x2.2 too

[atomic trout]

Flushes in Spanish Balatro is Color

[arctic lake]

When is it too late to pivot for a scalable joker ?

[stable glacier]

when you have to pull out the calculator to see if you'll score high enough

literally what i did just a bit ago trying to see if i could play a few more high cards lmfao

[arctic lake]

Sounds like extra work

[stable glacier]

emperor sucked ass

it was a nope wheel and judgement

gonna hit world

I GOT THREE MORE WORLDS ANYWAYS

THIS SEED IS SO GOATED

gonna make some awesome spade babies .

[azure mesa]

i got the mega spectral skip and got perkeo, played a hand on the big blind and now its only giving me 3 cards im so confused

[wheat haven]

A rental riff raff is so perfect

[stable glacier]

you gonna use that hex ?

sorry i'm not of more use lol

[azure mesa]

im gonna have to now

[stable glacier]

levels still havent changed but theres now a burnt joker in the shop . should i trade out for photo ?

been wanting to get rid of that bleepbleep piece of bleep card for awhile now

[opal delta]

are you using steamodded

its a common issue

[azure mesa]

yeah, its fine now i reset and discarded and it fixed itself

[opal delta]

nice

[fervent wolf]

Incorrect placement of jokers 3 copies on mime, 2 on baron would've done it

[nocturne root]

I got it next ante 🙏

[fervent wolf]

Nice

[rugged pollen]

Guys is this enough kings

[wheat haven]

Is this just asking me to play straight flushes?

[opal delta]

kind of a weird run going on right now, what should I be copying

[scarlet lily]

88ZNIWSW
My run got deleted after going into endless mode with this setup, after I went into endless mode with a max ante of 10 ish.

[scarlet lily]

I'd say hanging chad

[novel moss]

I'd copy the ancient joker if you're playing a flush.

[opal delta]

nah, im playing pair

[novel moss]

Then chad

[wintry ice]

not wily?

[shell rock]

erratic deck gold stake done! crimson heart doesn’t kill me twice

double castle run was fun

[scarlet lily]

understanding achieved, no unlocks on seeded runs. I was grinding the seed for my first win.

[woven spire]

i feel like a fish staring to a hook lol

[distant vault]

Im dying

Slowly

Just in time

[wheat haven]

Aren't we all

[distant vault]

Eternal jolly saved the run

And perishable duo

[deft panther]

Buylatro

[pale wolf]

ok time for a RUN OF BLUE!!!

[wheat haven]

Im straight flushes, got to ante 4 and not found a single netpune and the wall is next

i think i die

[distant vault]

Had to skip before duo died.

[deft panther]

You're cooked

RIP straight flush run

[shell rock]

blue? like blue print

or… blue joker?

[pale wolf]

hook is scary

[distant vault]

I love getting no x mult

[woven spire]

why are we going straight flushes?

do u like to suffer?

[pale wolf]

r2 coupon tag perhaps? we'll see

[wheat haven]

I saw arrowhead and shortcut and thought it would be a good idea

Its gone better than 80% of my runs so far

[deft panther]

If you have the opportunity to do a primarily straight flush run you take it

[woven spire]

fair

[shell rock]

straight flushes have NEVER done me right though

[woven spire]

same lol

[deft panther]

I had a straight flush run recently that won me the run

Wasn't at gold stake because it was while I was working up the stakes on a deck but it was fun

Might have been purple

[wheat haven]

We dead

[pale wolf]

fml

[deft panther]

Shoulda had a four fingers

[pale wolf]

That would have been an insanely good coupon tag

[distant vault]

Bro stole my run

🤣

[shell rock]

buffoon pack in the credit card?

[deft panther]

I restart the run when shit like this happens out of sheer disappointment

[pale wolf]

weak

[distant vault]

Instant win

[deft panther]

Not like restart the seed just roll a new run

[fervent wolf]

[wheat haven]

👀

[pale wolf]

you play til you lose

no other options

top up tag too

[woven spire]

i need eternal +mult🙏

[pale wolf]

stabilized

[woven spire]

first time using madness btw

[compact gazelle]

games gonna hit you with eternal cardsharp and baseball card before you get usable +mult

[deft panther]

Go for the eternal riffraff

[wheat haven]

Im taking so many L's today 😭

[pale wolf]

is merry andy good for shoot the moon

[woven spire]

YEEEES

[wheat haven]

Im taking rental supernova round 1, it never lets me down

[woven spire]

pairs it is

[deft panther]

Let's you draw more queens no?

[pale wolf]

good half joker

[pale wolf]

hand size loss

[compact gazelle]

youve won

🎉

[deft panther]

Do you have any other hand size penalties rn?

[woven spire]

its my first time using madness too lol, always afraid to use it

[compact gazelle]

only if you can't already draw a hand of queens
if you havent fixed hard into queens then andys good he lets you see more stuff

[pale wolf]

@white zodiac kanjikun do i take andy with stm

[compact gazelle]

le serial murderer is always fun to use

[woven spire]

i see that

[soft vapor]

How do you even use madness in not black stake+

[white zodiac]

generally no

[white zodiac]

roulette

[soft vapor]

Hell yeah

[pale wolf]

yummy blueprint

[compact gazelle]

usually you dont
but sometimes your deck gives so much money you can afford to just spam new jokers in every round and always fuel madness with new blood

[barren wigeon]

uhh you dont

you just

dont

[pale wolf]

i only keep blueprint for as long as todolist is useful p much

[serene forge]

get planets

low stake scaling is low

[compact gazelle]

low stake scaling lets you win with one stencil and the planets you can buy with blind money + interest

[woven spire]

the scaling on these is fun ngl

[tranquil steppe]

Hologram is so good

[slate lance]

Probably good for earlier game where theres less dexkfixing but worse for later game

[woven spire]

agreed

[tranquil oyster]

just had the bell kill my jokerless run
i hate this game so much lmao

[woven spire]

i hate the bell so much lol

[deft panther]

Been trying to get my Green Deck to gold stake but Orange stake is stopping me in my tracks

Any advice?

[wheat haven]

I just played 2 lucky cards with no re-triggers and got $40 🤑

[woven spire]

wild

[pale wolf]

yummy

[slate lance]

Who up staking their gold rn

[compact gazelle]

green deck is boring i just play it and forget about its effect

[wheat haven]

(I had oops)

Still good though

[woven spire]

thats still a 1 in 7.5 chance

idk if it works like that)

[pale wolf]

holy

todo on pairs also

[woven spire]

you know what you must do know.

Steel queens

[compact gazelle]

:3
how many queens now

[pale wolf]

dna angle

[compact gazelle]

# rounds left on blue?

[pale wolf]

tres

[compact gazelle]

oh my god that was not intentional

[heady narwhal]

i love markdown

[compact gazelle]

id say dna yeah
if you can spare the joker slot

[pale wolf]

I think to-do list can go

[tranquil steppe]

To-do list is poop

[woven spire]

judgement giving me an useful joker when im going madness...

[pale wolf]

stop being stupid

[compact gazelle]

i mean
econ looks good enough to run with

[pale wolf]

also have seed money so

[compact gazelle]

todo list is fine what

[barren wigeon]

"useful joker"

[woven spire]

is alr wdym

[barren wigeon]

its okay sometimes

truly a 50/50

you either get high card or straight flush

[woven spire]

u get what i mean

[pale wolf]

I mean I just got 50 dollars over 2 rounds from it so

[compact gazelle]

considering it pays for itself in one hit
its pretty usable

idk why people hate matador either
$25 profit on one boss blind

[barren wigeon]

its usable 1/6 of blinds

[white zodiac]

he's on my artificial naughty list it only makes sense

[barren wigeon]

of boss blinds

[pale wolf]

no

[barren wigeon]

which are 1/3 of blinds

[tranquil oyster]

well if you don't see one of those bosses then just don't buy it. same as luchador.

[compact gazelle]

if i see it im at least checking the next boss if not holding it until i need the slot for something else

[white zodiac]

but I'm a throwback user

[pale wolf]

1/3 of blinds and 1/2 of the normal bosses

[woven spire]

balala doing balala things

[barren wigeon]

half of 1/3 is 1/6

unless im really bad at math

[peak plinth]

Plasma gold stake😭😭😭

[shell dagger]

proof?

[tranquil oyster]

matador is like if investors tag was a joker

[peak plinth]

Give me another retrigger🙏🙏

[serene forge]

smartest bloodstone user

[compact gazelle]

and only worked half the time

[solar skiff]

"To do list is poop!!" bro all econ jokers are good wdym 😭

[barren wigeon]

⏳

[serene forge]

eh nah

[solar skiff]

decent in early game with no discard builds

[serene forge]

satellite is pretty bad

[barren wigeon]

nope bad always

i hate delgrat

[compact gazelle]

the absolute bottom of the barrel for econ is delgrat and somehow even that manages to work most of the time with 2 discards

[solar skiff]

let it cook

[serene forge]

list is good though

[barren wigeon]

I might get 149/150 for c++ because I hate delgrat so much

out of pure spite and hatred

[solar skiff]

all econ jokers are good, just others are better

[compact gazelle]

satellites insane econ if my econ is already good enough to scale it with useless planets

[serene forge]

its like a 4/9 chance of getting something easily farmable for money

[tranquil oyster]

delgrat got destroyed by the blue stake change, but it's still playable mostly because pair/high card + green joker are so good.

[solar skiff]

just play green joker build with delgrat as the econ joker

delgrat is playable

[serene forge]

delgrat will be better after blue stake change for sure

[solar skiff]

truthnuke

[compact gazelle]

you can make delgrat work with pretty much anything early game if you have the mult to brute force blinds

[white zodiac]

i wanted to make another revised black++ profile where I just leave throwback locked

[serene forge]

it definitely has times it can shine

[barren wigeon]

dont you EVER and I mean EVER put my glorious green goat next to the TERRIBLE HORRIBLE TREACHEROUS CREATURE that is delayed gratification

[tranquil oyster]

if you want a win more lategame econ joker then rocket is like 10x better imo

[white zodiac]

it'll have a higher floor than golden that's for sure

[solar skiff]

bro just play without discard lmao

[compact gazelle]

rockets so good satellite never stood a chance
but like
id gladly take both together they get along well

[solar skiff]

delgrat isn't that bad

[barren wigeon]

I HATE DELGRAT

[solar skiff]

is mostly uselss but literally was one of my first gold stickers

[pale wolf]

winmore

[barren wigeon]

I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT

[pale wolf]

however I have only had standard packs for 3 shops now

[solar skiff]

😭

[pale wolf]

I am getting very tired of it

[white zodiac]

someone has to be in the worst econ joker no matter how good econ is

[barren wigeon]

DELGRAT IS PERSONAL BEEF

[solar skiff]

delgrat is below average econ jokers but even with that is good in early game

[compact gazelle]

"on todays episode of will either of these packs have a queen"

[barren wigeon]

NOT EVEN HOW BAD IT IS

I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE DELAYED GRATIFICATION

[tranquil oyster]

delgrat is one of like four jokers that's just another joker but worse.

[barren wigeon]

IF IT WAS REWORKED TO BE THE BEST JOKER IN THE GAME I WOULD NEVER USE IT

IF IT GAVE 10000 DOLLARS IF YOU DONT USE DISCARDS I WOULDNT USE IT

[solar skiff]

true, is gold joker without discards

[barren wigeon]

ooh just gets my blood boiling

[compact gazelle]

delayed gratification rework: $5 at end of round for every discard used

[solar skiff]

the blue stake rework

[white zodiac]

early game is probably where it has the highest variance with the dependability of discarding for 5 card hands when needing to beat scoring requirements

[solar skiff]

0/10 ragebait

just wait until the 1.1 to the blue stake rework

6$ per round

that nice

[tranquil oyster]

delayed gratification rework: 3x mult if all cards in your hand are spades or cubs

[compact gazelle]

delayeds gonna be better but the same people who hate it now arent gonna like it any better

[solar skiff]

? that's just blackboard

[compact gazelle]

woosh

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[solar skiff]

Bloodstone is ahh

[compact gazelle]

i love ancient joker

[solar skiff]

is probably one of the few jokers that i personally hate

[compact gazelle]

with 5oak wild

[solar skiff]

is just so meh

[white zodiac]

I'll like delgrat post 1.1 if we don't have another "rebate" joker

[pale wolf]

hit the steel poly king twice with dna, just in case i get baron /s

[solar skiff]

Rebate 100% deserves a nerf

idc

[white zodiac]

what have you done

[solar skiff]

nerf it to the ground

[pale wolf]

I figure steels are probably better than Queens

[serene forge]

delgrat should grant 25 dollars per unused discard at the end of a round and be compatible with blueprint and brainstorm

[compact gazelle]

would there be any issues with bringing rebate to $3

[solar skiff]

even with that is still good, but that's okay

[serene forge]

no of course not

[tranquil oyster]

5 > 3 would be balanced and it's crazy how that's actually true.

[serene forge]

wasn't rebate 3 originally

[white zodiac]

it was 3 last balance

[serene forge]

or was it 4

it was 3 yea

[compact gazelle]

the reason i ask is cause ive heard it would suck too much and 4 would be better
but like
wtf

[white zodiac]

then it got buffed for whatever reason even though gs rework was already a buff in its own right

[brave goblet]

Dice moment

[pale wolf]

castle or save money for money tree? before big blind rn

[tranquil oyster]

5 > 4 and adding 2 to the base cost + changing it to the ancient joker algorithm (selection not affected by what cards are in your deck) could also work.

[peak plinth]

Lets goooooo

[white zodiac]

both, greed is optional

[compact gazelle]

wait i kinda like that
whys aj the only one that ignores deck composition

[white zodiac]

checkered existing

[shell dagger]

it’s rare so has a rare effect

[white zodiac]

and ig rare

[woven spire]

what deck should i beat in gold next?

[shell dagger]

magic

[wheat haven]

Time to go gamble

[woven spire]

mmm alr

[compact gazelle]

makes sense
i guess the rare joker design for aj would be more fitting if wild cards were relevant

[pale wolf]

I might just not buy money tree, Steel seems heavier than temperance here

[woven spire]

im on green stake on magic 😭

[white zodiac]

what's the cost of not having money tree

other than less rerolling short term for hard counter boss blind solutions

[pale wolf]

with money tree i go down -10 with the potential to get 10 more dollars of interest at max, but i haven't been making enough money to even save up for the voucher itself

but as soon as I get a gold Card that will start changing

[compact gazelle]

tree would be like
10 extra a round for ~3 antes if we include the time to get up to cap?
but only if you can deal with the cost short term

[white zodiac]

the three rounds of standards you skipped on

[pale wolf]

who said I skipped them

That's where all my money went

now I have a measly 69+1

[white zodiac]

thank you for the emphasis

[pale wolf]

I could also switch out Castle for Sly Joker right now and just not worry about scaling castle

might be better overall

The sly isn't rental

[white zodiac]

uh if you already have planet levels or blue seal I don't see why not

sure

[pale wolf]

I don't have either

[white zodiac]

mmm

I'll still take sly

[pale wolf]

lvl 3 pairs

although now I can start taking four of a kind levels and the kings would win as well

[compact gazelle]

castle still low?

[pale wolf]

castles at 6

[compact gazelle]

oh
uh
yeah sly

[pale wolf]

but its like 3-12 chips per discard

so it catches up in like 4 rounds?

[compact gazelle]

if you just picked it up like last round you could maybe stick with the castle but +6 is not a good look

[pale wolf]

yeah Castle is recent

[compact gazelle]

if you dont plan on saving towards money tree then castles probably ok to keep

[pale wolf]

I think I'm buying Money tree

[compact gazelle]

might wanna go with sly then
just so you dont suffer the rental fee?

[pale wolf]

yeah I'm going to go Sly

I'm not confident on getting a gold card when I have so many options I would prefer in the arcana packs

[wheat haven]

Parking has become my favourite card, is that bad?

[pale wolf]

It's all right

[compact gazelle]

parking is wonderful theres nothing wrong with liking parking
takes you to interest cap very easily early game in the event that you can find a powerful scoring engine to at least temporarily let you burn hands for parking hits

its not like the absolute greatest thing in the world cause it is kinda inconvenient for your hands but it can work wonders

[pale wolf]

@white zodiac A new Challenger appeared

[wheat haven]

Its been really good to me even though i always mess it up later on

[pale wolf]

i mean i have to go wee

[white zodiac]

oh boy

[wheat haven]

wait no, wee is my fav, I just havent found one in the past 30 runs

[pale wolf]

The urge is just bursting out

[compact gazelle]

aaand now youre even less likely to devil in arcana packs

[pale wolf]

I'm going to go fucking insane

[tranquil steppe]

Wee this late with going for pars ain’t worth it. Especially for $3 a round

[tranquil steppe]

🪦

[white zodiac]

i think i died to a similar lobotomized loadout with this array of jokers

[pale wolf]

You're very wrong

but the soul is definitely worth either way

[tranquil steppe]

No u

[white zodiac]

nothing you say is authentic I'm sorry

[tranquil steppe]

Pile on

[white zodiac]

i did

check my list

[compact gazelle]

whats the best possible soul here

[tranquil steppe]

What list

[pale wolf]

yorick probably

or chicot actually

I haven't seen plant

I think I have to get rid of DNA, wee is just too powerful when I don't have any planets

and I don't really need more cards I just need removal

[white zodiac]

chicken

[compact gazelle]

plant immunity might just be more valuable than x3-x4?

[shell dagger]

why do u claim to be a 1.1 data tester

[white zodiac]

that's not for you to be concerned

of

[pale wolf]

yeah surviving is better than instant death

[shell dagger]

one should only include their hardest achievement in their nickname

like card player

[compact gazelle]

rt95 truly is the player of cards

[white zodiac]

or something harder to distinguish

[pale wolf]

or being african fauna

[shell dagger]

2500 is a lot of cards

[pale wolf]

oh man it's perkeo

[white zodiac]

uh

[pale wolf]

I might have to set this game down for later

[compact gazelle]

yeah thats like
50 decks almost
thats more cards than i have at home

[white zodiac]

that's probably the worst hit but oh well

[wheat haven]

I would like to share a screenshot I found because lots of jokers funny

[pale wolf]

I would not have been very happy with canio tbh either but It's still infinite deck fixing, if I get a chariot especially

[white zodiac]

perchance

[compact gazelle]

perkeo could also let you hard pivot into 4oaks or whatever it was you were mentioning earlier

[pale wolf]

or i could.... sell him

[compact gazelle]

oh
oh dear

[pale wolf]

realistically I think Duo goes

[tranquil steppe]

I did that once to win. You do what you gotta do. Chad will help with your wee

[white zodiac]

canio in your current deck loadout will have a reason to stay

[white zodiac]

prob

[pale wolf]

feels bad getting rid of stickerless guaranteed xmult for a perishable rental

but after 2 chad hands ill be 2x my score with wee

[tranquil steppe]

Omg pairs is only lvl.3 🪦

[compact gazelle]

wow you need chips

[pale wolf]

there have not been many planets in the shop

[tranquil steppe]

That’s bad luck

[compact gazelle]

either you love when that happens or you hate it

[pale wolf]

just the game really, gotta work thru it

[tranquil steppe]

I see why you went with wee my bad

Didn’t realize you had no planet help

[white zodiac]

that's better than not realizing

[pale wolf]

this game also started with a coupon tag skip into top up tag skip, which gave me the stm

[woven spire]

why are cartomancer and hallucination lowk cooking?

[pale wolf]

not both ante 1 mind you

I'm not that crazy

[white zodiac]

that explains the ante 3 round 4 screenshot

[tranquil steppe]

Yep

[compact gazelle]

hallucination my beloved

[pale wolf]

yeah I got really bad draws on the first round as well

[compact gazelle]

that which i will take your word for and also because top up isnt ante 1

[pale wolf]

if I had taken the first small blind coupon tag ante 1 I would have had Duo and burnt joker for free

just from the shop

[woven spire]

hallucination+oops🫠

[pale wolf]

so that's probably the correct line for this seed

[tranquil steppe]

Burnt + BP = 🤤

[compact gazelle]

free win is indeed probably the correct line

[pale wolf]

Plus the perishable blueprint would have showed up and doubled burnt yeah

[compact gazelle]

yummy :3

[woven spire]

yeees

am i crazy if i say that oops is my fav joker?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[tranquil steppe]

Random but wraith when you have negative dollars is a fun little “cheat” code

[wheat haven]

Banana looks cool

[compact gazelle]

you should start putting a counter next to these

[tranquil steppe]

I have more

[slow iris]

I hate Throwback

[compact gazelle]

ive never witnessed a dumber green joker than this

[glossy furnace]

throwback op

[white zodiac]

random but I don't like this troub knife interaction

[tranquil steppe]

He’s one of the more eh x mults. He has his place but yea I agree not the best

[compact gazelle]

i also hate throwback but probably less than you do

[serene forge]

you really committed to fraudstone when you had gronkler

[tranquil steppe]

It got the dub

[compact gazelle]

shouldnt have used bloodstone then

[tranquil steppe]

Love me some good blood

[woven spire]

We CANNOT understand a thing there

[tranquil steppe]

It got the dub

[compact gazelle]

bloodstones an alcoholic father with a 1 in 32 chance to abandon his family every time you ask him to do anything

[tranquil steppe]

But he can be the best father

[pale wolf]

I kind of forgot that I had perkeo

[woven spire]

thats a weird and new way of describing it ig

[white zodiac]

3 hands
grabber
knife outside of the menu ui

[compact gazelle]

id rather have a decent father who doesnt leave me in the middle of a run
runner over bloodstone any day

[serene forge]

what is oops then

[compact gazelle]

his therapist duh

[white zodiac]

no way you got bored of him that quickly

[serene forge]

insane how his therapist is actually good

[pale wolf]

perkeo is probably my worst one of the bunch

[woven spire]

ohhhh, wait you are actually japanese or just like the language?

[pale wolf]

this is the most applicable I've ever had him

[white zodiac]

learning

[pale wolf]

kanjikun was born in a japanese volcano

[woven spire]

oh i see

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone loves you and forgives your sins

[woven spire]

tf is this.

[compact gazelle]

no thanks im gonna continue committing sins :3

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone still forgives you

[compact gazelle]

its the mipmap level picker

[white zodiac]

hiragana
katakana
the "useful" kanji characters (not the 48,000)

[compact gazelle]

bloodstone will probably kill my run if i ever pick it up and rely on it
its fortunately really easy to carry tho

[woven spire]

im kinda lost here.

[tranquil steppe]

One day you will see the light

[woven spire]

oops:

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone welcomes and loves all

[pale wolf]

btw this is a 3streak run

[compact gazelle]

i already found the light and it wasnt bloodstone

[pale wolf]

so I'm fated to win this one, just not next one

[woven spire]

i hate bloodstone without oops but i love it WITH oops

[white zodiac]

different writing system

[tranquil steppe]

Yorick is another god we worship

[compact gazelle]

oops doesnt like bloodstone and wont show up when i have bloodstone at all
fortunately oops doesnt object much to my lucky cat builds

[pale wolf]

there's two alphabets, and one of them is phonetic and the other one is symbolic

[white zodiac]

oh of course

[lunar zealot]

Is it yuri

[pale wolf]

The phonetic one is visually simpler

[compact gazelle]

yeah :3

[woven spire]

i did not know there were different writing system tbh

[lunar zealot]

good girl

[compact gazelle]

yoricks fine im cool with yorick

[lunar zealot]

Yorick is like

Mid obelisk

if you think about it

[woven spire]

nobody said nothing so ill just remark it.

[tranquil steppe]

Obelisk is like bus and baron

[compact gazelle]

im thinking about it rn

[white zodiac]

and isn't enriched in chinese lore where certain symbol strokes don't mean the same fuckn words

[heady narwhal]

what does this mean

[tawny radish]

lost final boss blind lowk

[peak plinth]

Beat all decks on all decks finally🥳

[woven spire]

what.

[peak plinth]

On all stakes*

[compact gazelle]

tf is baron doin there hes not allowed on the bus
i hate baron

[woven spire]

how much time?

[compact gazelle]

all decks on all decks

[peak plinth]

166 hours

[tawny radish]

Beat deck finally🥳

[tranquil steppe]

Baron bus and obelisk are all way overrated jokers that involve an incredible amount of setup that’s only useful in specific scenarios

[woven spire]

hi

[peak plinth]

Nice!

[heady narwhal]

so true !!!!!!!

[compact gazelle]

bus and obelisk are good
baron is endless mode trash and should not be in the same sentence as the other two

baron belongs with idol and showman

[tawny radish]

hello

[white zodiac]

the reminder for everybody why I put him on "that" list

[pale wolf]

you can miss the draw

[woven spire]

idol is too

[tranquil steppe]

I hate idol

[woven spire]

the amount of deckfix nedeed is mad

[white zodiac]

someone poisoned my sweet tea

[compact gazelle]

whats that list
i can probably guess but

[tranquil steppe]

Exactly

[woven spire]

drink it i dare u

[pale wolf]

rtb is literally impossible to play tho, how can you play high cards without playing a face

[tranquil steppe]

Too bad you can’t deck fix ancient

[woven spire]

never got idol to work

[tranquil steppe]

It’ll still give you diamond if you don’t have any diamonds in your deck for example

[woven spire]

wild cards:

[compact gazelle]

wild cards called

[heady narwhal]

if ancient depended on deck composition it still wouldn't be worth suitfixing imo

not worth the chance of rolling a suit that you have 4 of and instantly dying

[tranquil steppe]

True. I just meant like you can’t eliminate a suit to fix it

[white zodiac]

and just general deck thinning

[pale wolf]

dont talk about my thinning deck

[white zodiac]

you're on paint thinners until you get a streak of 4

[woven spire]

How does one name combos with oops

lucky oops or oops cat

bloodoops or oopstone

[compact gazelle]

other joker plus oa6

[woven spire]

i mean like photochad, just merging the names of the jokers

[tranquil steppe]

OAStone

[compact gazelle]

why bother merging names :<

[woven spire]

cuz funny.

[pale wolf]

bloopstone

[tranquil steppe]

Chads name should be changed to Ballot change my mind

[pale wolf]

is the common parlance

[woven spire]

fair nough

[heady narwhal]

❌ obelisk is like bus and baron
✅ obelisk is like bus and stm

[compact gazelle]

but then what would photochad mains call their beloved only viable strategy to get past ante 4 '^'

[woven spire]

obelisk is just a reverse supernova.

[compact gazelle]

thats why one is a big hot rock really high up in the sky and the other is a really big cold rock buried in the ground

[pale wolf]

there should be a reverse groker

[woven spire]

obelisk seems hot tho

[pale wolf]

obelisk is a rock

[woven spire]

it feels like if u touch it, it burns

[pale wolf]

maybe on the sunny side

[compact gazelle]

its cold and dead and has been for ages

[pale wolf]

because its dark stone

[woven spire]

yh

[pale wolf]

for ages?? so it was alive??

[woven spire]

obelisk lore drop?

we need lore for jokers ngl

[compact gazelle]

yeah the rock used to be an ancient philosopher

[pale wolf]

but we're in the shade of obelisk, right? yea

[woven spire]

was throwback throwing it back?

[compact gazelle]

the part we see is the cold side

[pale wolf]

so if we walk forward and touch obelisk itll be cold

[compact gazelle]

the other side had the glyphs faded by sunlight

[woven spire]

its a desert tho

[pale wolf]

have you ever been to a desert

they are cold a lot

[woven spire]

ive heard its hot.

[compact gazelle]

deserts arent all hot
only requirement to join the club is smol amount of rain

[woven spire]

huh

[compact gazelle]

also they absolutely do freeze at night

[pale wolf]

even hot deserts are cold at night/cool in the shade, relatively speaking

[woven spire]

yh ik that

[compact gazelle]

also
antarcticas pretty cold during the day for example

[pale wolf]

the rock itself wont be hot to the touch without baking in the sun and judging by the angle of light, its been a while since or until noon

[white zodiac]

the idol effect

[compact gazelle]

considering the markings are still clear i assume this side of the obelisk faces the pole and the sun rarely if ever shines on it

[pale wolf]

nobody said it has to be old

[compact gazelle]

i said so
the obelisk is old

[pale wolf]

and it could be magic

[white zodiac]

it was built with heliocentrism in mind

[compact gazelle]

nah its totally real and very old

[serene forge]

i feel bad for this guy

[compact gazelle]

i know because the obelisk is my grandfather

[pale wolf]

the flavor of obelisk is building a tower and then dancing around it, no?

[woven spire]

it has glowing runes so ig it is

[compact gazelle]

no idea
sounds about right tho

[woven spire]

oof

[compact gazelle]

i dont get it :<

[woven spire]

he had allat and didnt get him to naneinf

[pale wolf]

Megabus isnt a reference to anything about the joker i dont think lol

[compact gazelle]

sounds like a skill issue why were we copying auras

[white zodiac]

funny looking sundial that was built with the philosophy of heliocentrism where every planet revolves around the sun or in this case, the thing.

[slow iris]

need that 🏳️‍🌈 Polychrome

[compact gazelle]

its just bus on drugs isnt it

[compact gazelle]

the 1.5x mult is going to help very much

[woven spire]

how much did u scroll

[pale wolf]

none

[white zodiac]

search function

[woven spire]

forgot that exists

[pale wolf]

hidden unused obelisk content

crazy development

[white zodiac]

this is just a runic tombstone

[compact gazelle]

new obelisk variant guys

[left juniper]

Hoping this unused joker makes a comeback

[woven spire]

smoked up joker?

[compact gazelle]

spawns undead wraiths or something

[pale wolf]

it would be cool if every joker had 3 variants

[woven spire]

yeah 450 jokers

[compact gazelle]

what would the variants be for something like regular joker

[woven spire]

NOBODY would be getting c++

[white zodiac]

fr

[pale wolf]

maybe a different collar

[compact gazelle]

oh you meant like visual im stupid

i thought you were suggesting functional variants :<

[pale wolf]

nah

[woven spire]

same lol

[left juniper]

An Acrobat variant where they are falling and it gives x1 mult

[pale wolf]

like different yearly releases of cards almost

same effect diff art

[serene forge]

theyre spending so much time on doing it really wrong

[woven spire]

x0

[compact gazelle]

an acrobat variant where they accidentally injure someone in the crowd and get sued and it gives 1x and costs you money each time it triggers

[pale wolf]

the booster packs already have multiple arts for variety, theres precedent!

[serene forge]

new slay the spire relic just dropped

[compact gazelle]

im sorry why were they copying auras
i dont understand naneinf players

[serene forge]

because they don't know wtf they're doing at all

[slate lance]

No thank u

[serene forge]

they're completely clueless which is why i feel bad

[slate lance]

C++ is annoying enough as is

[compact gazelle]

poor kid
deserved for attempting naneinf without understanding the game first

[serene forge]

bloodstone with the 1 in 9.5 chance of 0.44x mult

[woven spire]

unexperienced acrobat: gives X5 1 in 15 chance to give x0 and lose 5 dollars

[compact gazelle]

ah yes the traveling circus not up to safety regulations

[woven spire]

x0 meaning 0 mult overall btw

like just scoring w chips lol

[pale wolf]

oh boy i sure hope ante 7 isnt the plant

[pale wolf]

?? thats not what i mean

[slate lance]

What did h mean then

[atomic trout]

Name a better duo

[slate lance]

Literally any other fucking joker synergy in the gamr

[woven spire]

how big is your wee? show us

[atomic trout]

Good answer

[woven spire]

cmon there are worse ones

[slate lance]

Nope

[white zodiac]

number 2 and number 3

[slate lance]

Photochad is ASS

[hybrid tendon]

bp bs

[atomic trout]

Oh god. Why?

[slate lance]

Photochad is literally only a good synergy for new players getting their first high scores

[woven spire]

egg swash is better for u?

[slate lance]

Yeah

Literally yea

[white zodiac]

why what

[pale wolf]

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[hybrid tendon]

that's not actually true, but I have a deep hatred for photochat so I agree

[pale wolf]

perishable rental chad → eternal chad

[woven spire]

HOW do u always get perkeo

[white zodiac]

what happened to rna

nvm

[pale wolf]

i do not

[woven spire]

WHATS UR SECRET

[heady narwhal]

favorite chips scaler for stm?

[atomic trout]

Huh...

[pale wolf]

killed for uhh

[hybrid tendon]

perkeo, my missing joker...

[slate lance]

Ik its not true im just hating dw

[pale wolf]

mime? idk

i almost never have perkeo

[slate lance]

But photochad isnt rlly allat good

[woven spire]

bruh

[atomic trout]

I like Hanging Chad. A lot

[hybrid tendon]

chad is good

[slate lance]

I love chad
I hate photo chad

[atomic trout]

Chad is life

[heady narwhal]

personally i'd say squimbo seems like the best option but idk

[woven spire]

is good but overrated id agree

[white zodiac]

uhhh that one is hard

[pale wolf]

no you dont

not that much

[white zodiac]

maybe runner

[slate lance]

My fav joker synergy might just be like hand scaling jokers and burglar ngl 🤤

[pale wolf]

i mean can i say wee

[slate lance]

So grimbo rtb supernova trousers

[visual arch]

One of my funnest gold stake runs! Blueprint + DNA + Hologram. I was able to get DNA, Oops all 6's, and Gros Michel to gold this run!

[woven spire]

grimbo and burglar...

[uncut slate]

uncommon 0.5x obelisk 🤤

[pale wolf]

i like chad

[white zodiac]

squimbo is nice, even if it technically hinders my queen draws

[slate lance]

Whats wrong with that

[heady narwhal]

that seems somewhat bad. deckfixing aside it's hard to score 2s when so much of your handsize is reserved for queens

[tranquil steppe]

Supernova go brrrrr

[compact gazelle]

constellation obelisk

[woven spire]

im not saying its wrong.

im saying i like it lol

[atomic trout]

Hehehe

[slate lance]

Sorry u typed that in a way i thought u was hating

[woven spire]

yh dw

[slate lance]

Card sharp with burglar is also peak

[woven spire]

throw a dusk in there

[visual arch]

I am 136/150 now!

[atomic trout]

Hellllo NEEDLE

[white zodiac]

eye*

[tranquil steppe]

Burglar + bp is peak

[woven spire]

.

[woven spire]

BURGLAR

[atomic trout]

Dusk and Acrobat works

[slate lance]

Needle with burglar actually would be fine

[woven spire]

gives you 3 hands in nedlee

[pale wolf]

that is a-ok

[heady narwhal]

bull because of parking and midas mask (and obviously you're allowed to force any joker you like to appear in the shop if you lock in)

[atomic trout]

I forgot Burglar steals the Needle.

[slate lance]

If i get the eye on a card sharp run i can just find glass or smt idk

[tawny radish]

do i buy soap (ante 7, 5 rounds to go if i dont skip)

[atomic trout]

And Burglar destroys Walls and robs the Violet Vessel

[woven spire]

mark aint that bad, just gamble

[heady narwhal]

soap, my favorite food joker

[white zodiac]

this ruins the combination specifically introduced

[tawny radish]

is this a yes

[woven spire]

tf is soap

[atomic trout]

The Burglar scans with its one Eye with more moves.

[heady narwhal]

i don't think you need seltzer no

[atomic trout]

Somehow the Mouth becomes easier with Burglar.

[woven spire]

oh seltzer

[tawny radish]

is that even soap

[atomic trout]

Gross

[woven spire]

no u dont need it

[tawny radish]

idk ngl

[heady narwhal]

that's seltzer. or as the code says, "selzer"

seltzer is a beverage

[white zodiac]

not really when you have the possibility to whiff on pairs first hand

[woven spire]

lol

[tawny radish]

oh

[atomic trout]

Or not read the boss blind

[slate lance]

Thats seltzer

[tawny radish]

i thought that was a joke 😭

[pine drum]

Pair build on erratic - purple stake. (Ngl skull saved my ass at the end)

[slate lance]

Oh nvm someone said it sirry

[compact gazelle]

seltzer is just rich person words for sparkling water

[atomic trout]

Señor Huesos 🤩

[woven spire]

eternal burnt joker is crazy

[slate lance]

Mr bones is the great underappreciated hero

[slate lance]

Of balatro

[visual arch]

i love burnt joker

[atomic trout]

It one time saved me from being poked by the Needle

[woven spire]

polychrome red seal steel king and perkeo in ante 7, you gotta be streamer or smthn to have that luck

[pale wolf]

nah

these things happen with patient play
