[gloomy swallow]

gold sticked jimbo because of a fucking polychrome skip tag

hawkash loadout

[opal delta]

not this again

[pliant jewel]

breaking news: the moon found dead with 27 bullet wounds

[white zodiac]

its all coming together

[pliant jewel]

also come on its ante 1 you're not gonna die take the todo list

[white zodiac]

well

[coarse silo]

You know that pokemon meme where it’s like “what’s wrong with this picture” and it shows level -8 squirtle named charmander with a discolored sprite and negative hp

That’s how this image feels

[opal delta]

the hook is actually the worst boss blind ever

[gloomy swallow]

this run shouldn't work by all means but somehow does

[white zodiac]

backseating at its finest

[pliant jewel]

taking stm to the hook 😭 😭 😭

[pliant jewel]

yes

[white zodiac]

technically it helps you find queens

[pliant jewel]

and also helps you lose them

how helpful

[white zodiac]

playing 2 card mfs

when they hit the 1-2 in 6

[heady narwhal]

rtb placement is crazy to me

[gloomy swallow]

didnt help much in the run where i got it

[heady narwhal]

i mean grimbo is in the "carried 3+ runs" thing and rtb is basically better grimbo

[gloomy swallow]

no the hell it aint

it isnt as punishing and its way easier to build

[shell dagger]

not playing faces isn’t hard

[timid junco]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[pliant jewel]

i mean it is punishing in the sense that the run instantly ends when you accidentally play a face card

[opal delta]

it beckons

[pliant jewel]

which i totally havent done on several occasions

[hidden pewter]

the plant is sm worse

[pliant jewel]

ive died to hook more than plant tbh

[opal delta]

discard voucher or riff raff

[hidden pewter]

riff

at minimum, you can get decent sell value and be off of it, at best u get photochad

[quartz ember]

wait hol up you took the wrong joker

[pliant jewel]

and then die to the plant...?

[quartz ember]

and then have easy early game + you have chad

[pliant jewel]

like there are so much better things to get from riff raff here than photochad

rebate
any econ really
any scaling mult

[opal delta]

a rebate would be nice

[hidden pewter]

yeah

[pliant jewel]

you know, scoring that doesnt die if a specific boss show up

[hidden pewter]

but its black stake lmao

Js get an early win con, and get a strong eco

Since theres no rentals to worry abt

[opal delta]

brainstorm

[hidden pewter]

then js have a big enough war chest to be able to either beat or get around the boss blind

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

Gamodd todd

[opal delta]

rebate!!!

wow an ectoplasm

[quartz ember]

useless

skip angle

[zenith timber]

Should I take invis?

[quartz ember]

for the funi you could

[zenith timber]

what should I dupe/sell it for

[nova junco]

I just finished an entire black deck run and not once did it occur to me that I have an extra joker slot

[alpine halo]

remembering my first flouse build

i had the duo, the trio, and an early trousers

[patent prairie]

i had a glorious flouse build earlier

[thorny axle]

YO WHAT THE FUCK

[wary flicker]

that mod too lol

crazy

[midnight basin]

What would you guys pick here i don’t really have a build yet

[hollow ether]

Finally beat jokerless! My strategy: Get a suit debuff boss ante 1 (guarantees the suit won’t be debuffed later), scale and build for flushes, pick a suit to attack when destroying and converting to your protected suit, add steels and build for economy where you can.

Also you’ll need some luck on your side, that’s just how it is. I got 2 lucky card money pops on round 1 lol

[hollow ether]

I always take baseball card

[thorny axle]

half joker

[white zodiac]

half + bbc

[calm epoch]

half and baseball looking juicy

[shell rock]

one of my favorite builds ever lowk

[heady narwhal]

at best you get squoker and rtb

[thorny axle]

The Team

[primal zenith]

uhh i got balatro of g2a because it was literally 5 dollars cheaper, was that a mistake?

like i mean getting it off of g2a

[thorny axle]

whats g2a

[primal zenith]

a game key website

[thorny axle]

no i dont think it changes anything

5 bucks is 5 bucks

[calm epoch]

w

[wary flicker]

the only mistake is not supporting the game as much but dont be too harsh on yourself

its ok 😄

[primal zenith]

i was thinking of gifting it secretely to a friend as soon as i get my pocket money because i cant buy it again

[wary flicker]

if it works no mistake made

dw

[wary flicker]

the space build is very easy and powerful yh

[primal zenith]

ok tanx😁

[main delta]

oooh boy...
I just found that beautiful golden ticket but that boss might ruin everything 😢

[dreamy creek]

balala

[main delta]

should I go for that ancient joker?

[zenith timber]

Sell one photo?

[dreamy creek]

and this is why bloodstone is the goat 🗣️

[thorny axle]

am i crazy or do venus and mars show up in celestial packs more often than any other planet

[calm epoch]

ur crazy

[main delta]

I mean... is it? I can't retrigger and I'll have to play flushes

[dreamy creek]

the malevolent telescope voucher:

[calm epoch]

^

[dreamy creek]

• the inconspicuous planet cards in the shop already that cannot spawn twice without showman

[thorny axle]

mythic shop pull

[zenith timber]

Tips?

[calm epoch]

whats your deck lookin like

[zenith timber]

Nothing too crazy I need to start fixing, can’t get my hands on a red seal

[thorny axle]

i feel tempted to ankh ancient joker

[calm epoch]

i mean you can try it, but deckfixing with trading card takes long since its 1 card per round

[zenith timber]

Yeah ig, it’s good money tho on the side either way with blueprint, so I might take it, no need for two photos atm

[thorny axle]

i died

[gloomy swallow]

BASEBALL o

[gloomy swallow]

when you have dna trading card is not necesary

specially with a blueprint

[lyric shore]

when you have blueprint photochad another photo is not necessary

[thorny axle]

thank you sly joker for being holographic

[atomic trout]

Oh Jimbo, calling me an ass.

[verbal oak]

Delicious eggs

[thorny axle]

goated fucking dice

[low panther]

Did anyone else get C++ by having jokers roster ride off of better ones?

[tawdry burrow]

wait can't i just

use steam link to play balatro on my phone

and with mods and shit

[tawdry burrow]

stake stickers on vouchers?

[tawdry burrow]

isn't that how it's supposed to be done?

[low panther]

I try to use each joker for its intended use but I just thought 'ah, what not' this run because I got a triboulet

[thorny axle]

mod

me pulling up to ante 8 with jimbo, ramen, runner, hallucation and square joker

[terse vale]

AAAAH BLOODSTONE

[dense kraken]

i need to know combos bro

[terse vale]

oh peak sly joker

[dense kraken]

I've been playing for two days and still havent won any

[low panther]

I just got shoot the moon and crazy joker to gold stake

[tawdry burrow]

might try the steam link thingy

[low panther]

Shoot the moon is absolutely fucking ass

[zenith timber]

Damn is this worth taking

[terse vale]

na

[terse vale]

uhhmmmm pairs ig

[dense kraken]

i love pairs

i have played over 200 pairs so far

[terse vale]

also combos aren’t everything! theres also good decision making

[dense kraken]

I just discovered 5 of a kind today toi

[low panther]

Wym nah

[terse vale]

It doesn’t suck its just C+ tier

[heady narwhal]

that's like the only way to do it?

[terse vale]

maybe B-

idk

?

[heady narwhal]

i'd say stm is b tier or so. it's my favorite joker

[zenith timber]

Tips?

[heady narwhal]

it's not the best early, and it's not the best late, but it works in both cases which gives it a pretty useful niche imo

[low panther]

I mean completely carried

Because there's synergies or neutral but some just have anti synergies like stm with trib

[heady narwhal]

you can pick it up in a2 because you need immediate scoring, then you can build into it if you don't find any other scalers

[dense kraken]

genuinely need tips for this game bro

[terse vale]

yuppp

[low panther]

So I used trib to get stm to roster ride

[low panther]

What's ur deck look like?

[heady narwhal]

that's not really an antisynergy imo

antisynergy would be like parei + rtb

[magic tree]

YORICK

[weak harbor]

obviously getting a cryptid would do but on the likely chance i dont, what are my steps to NANEINF here

[low panther]

Maybe sell dna and take it

[zenith timber]

What should I hope it dupes?

[low panther]

There are degrees of anti synergy

Since I didn't have my deck fixed I needed queens as well as kings

And +13 mult doesn't scale as faster as exponential mult

[heady narwhal]

why would you need kings for trib

[low panther]

Cause my deck wasn't fixed I just said

[thorny axle]

shoutout to dusk for being the only reason im not dead

[dense kraken]

holy shit yall are doing complex stuff

[low panther]

Hanging chad

Or canio for funsies

[zenith timber]

should i sell anything before or just leave as is and hope

[thorny axle]

dusk youre the reason i died

please remove yourself from the game

[magic tree]

Is he worth it on checkered deck gold stake?

[thorny axle]

yes

[magic tree]

even rental?

I hate rental jokers

[latent egret]

with both jokers you can win

[low panther]

No

[frail oriole]

Will Gros Michel killed by Ceremonial Dagger trigger Cavendish appearing?

[magic tree]

🤔

[low panther]

It has to go extinct naturally

[frail oriole]

dang

ok ty

[low panther]

If it's a temporary then it won't trigger its ability if it times out

[magic tree]

so I take it or not

[low panther]

You can't bet on getting paintbrush

[magic tree]

okay but flushes are still possible no?

[verbal oak]

Try to deckfix for seance or sixth sense; sell mime if you find one of those

[magic tree]

I'll try

[low panther]

Yeah but I don't bet on having discards to make them on gold stake

[frail oriole]

Can an Eternal Joker protect others from Ceremonial Dagger

[zenith timber]

i save scummed and it duped golden ticket, should i sell ticket then try again?

💔

[magic tree]

yes

[frail oriole]

nice

[latent egret]

just put dagger on far right when starting the blind

[low panther]

Lol try it yeah

[frail oriole]

riiiiight

[low panther]

Almost there

[indigo laurel]

This feels safest

[verbal oak]

If you don't want to get a cryptid, try to get as much money as physically possible

[zenith timber]

it duped blueprint that’s fine right

[low panther]

Best hit

Blueprint is the best joker in the whole game

[zenith timber]

ok issue is now is no econ

[frail oriole]

lets gooooooo

[zenith timber]

i’ll just use gold cards until can find rebate or somthing

[unborn apex]

I regret nothing, sharing this

[low panther]

Chicoat becomes Chigoat if he reverses boss blinds

[latent egret]

its the worst option

[unborn apex]

infinite hands

[low panther]

I wish

[latent egret]

i have no mental energy to decipher if its bait or not

[unborn apex]

if its not a balanced deck then yes its a bait

[latent egret]

its never to right play for ante 8 play

which is what you should assume unless told otherwise

[zenith timber]

My luck has been crazy today. I’ve gotten 3 legendaries in unseeded runs

[unborn apex]

surely you would be kind to post the seed

[zenith timber]

don’t worry i always take ss of these big runs

[low panther]

I record them then never post them

[zenith timber]

decent baron mime one if you are curious, just watch out for plant 🥲

[low panther]

If only Chicot came as a nat negative

[frail oriole]

im scared guys when am i gonna start saccing

[alpine halo]

i think its really funny just how exponential the scaling is in balatro

like if you arent abusing some meta perkeo + observatory

or like baron mime

or have a fatass idol setup

you arent making it past like ante 13

[low panther]

Exponential scaling works like that irl too

[alpine halo]

well yes

[low panther]

Millionaires vs Billionaires

[alpine halo]

i mean how its applied in balatro

[low panther]

People underestimate exponential scaling

[frail oriole]

nooo

i fucxked u8p

[low panther]

How else would it be applied? With 1.1^x?

[alpine halo]

i think youre missing my point but its oaky

[magic tree]

do I take wraith here?

turtle bean is +3 hand size rn

[zenith timber]

Bro this run is nuts

Do I take rebate or golden ticket

[heady narwhal]

it's almost never wraith

[heady narwhal]

if you get a third rare joker then baseball is practically useless

i'd just medium or skip here

[magic tree]

okay thanks

[indigo laurel]

im crine son i got mime, ecto, triple red seal steel king i thought finally an endless ✌🏼💔

chasing after endless leaves u dead ig or sum

[magic tree]

and do I skip all the blinds to preserve turtle bean?

next boss is the manacle 🙁

[tawdry burrow]

so trying out the stream

performs better than the phone yes

but there are some hiccups

[indigo laurel]

grass is green

[zenith timber]

tips?

[magic tree]

show your deck

[zenith timber]

it’s in photo under

[tawdry burrow]

i mean as good of a connection that my shitty 4G can get

[magic tree]

oh yeah sorry

[zenith timber]

no worries

[magic tree]

for me rebate is better

[zenith timber]

yeah i think it makes more when i dupe it and discard the glass kings and keep golden ones for regular $

i’ll keep thinning deck

[magic tree]

yeah

[zenith timber]

and trying to get a fricken red seal

[glossy heron]

i

i

i

i just got more land in the metaverse

now im getting payed cash with atlas earth

[tawdry burrow]

networking's too slow for streaming

[alpine horizon]

gotta love levels

[tawdry burrow]

really sad

[zenith timber]

that spectral pack had déjà vu

should i get golden ticket then now that i have retrigger or is rebate fine

[tawdry burrow]

a steam deck would be better than whatever the hell steam link does

[tawdry burrow]

holy two pair

[charred spruce]

got poly micheal to endless from ante 1

[tawdry burrow]

40 Mbps

[latent egret]

golden would be better per king

[tawdry burrow]

i feel like that's enough to stream me playing Balatro right

[magic tree]

yeah 6$ vs 5

[zenith timber]

ok i’ll do that then, now just need to dupe up that red seal and should be chilling

[tawdry burrow]

how is 40 Mbps not enough to play balatro from my phone

yeah the 4G is somehow 4 times slower but i can still use my wifi

[alpine horizon]

holy joker layout

[tawdry burrow]

square

[left wave]

me last night

temperance value went crazy so did planet cards

[magic tree]

français?

[left wave]

constellation is such a slept on joker

[left wave]

y e s

[magic tree]

cool moi aussi

[left wave]

aaaah génial ça fait du bien à voir :DD

[alpine horizon]

does anyone know if the completionist+ achievment is bugged on xbox?

[magic tree]

@mental bloom aussi est français

[paper echo]

true

[magic tree]

true with astronomer

[paper echo]

yeaj

[mental bloom]

i can confirm being a french person

[paper echo]

im not french

[magic tree]

bbc is great

[mental bloom]

oui

[tawdry burrow]

@lunar zealot would agree

[magic tree]

even only 2 uncommons give 2.25x mult

[charred spruce]

he... he's gone... ante 9 round 29.. rip..

[atomic trout]

You win some, you lose some

[weak harbor]

if i dont pull antimatter , is double ecto naneinf doable?

[magic tree]

Mr. Bones coming in clutch

[weak harbor]

cuz this is where im at and i really need that 4th copy joker but they really dont seem to wanna give me anti

[magic tree]

MR BONES BEST JOKER IN THE GAME

[left wave]

skill issue :3

[magic tree]

what

[zenith timber]

should i take showman?

[magic tree]

I dont think so

[charred spruce]

maybe I should have gotten rid of two pair joker

[magic tree]

should I use wraith now?

or after the round

I think I need that x1.5 mult from bbc still

[cosmic maple]

XD NAT negative diet cola

[cosmic maple]

Never abbreviate baseball card

[magic tree]

why

[cosmic maple]

Don't do it

[magic tree]

BBC = british broadcasting channel

[cosmic maple]

Don't

[magic tree]

okkkk

[cosmic maple]

😭

[magic tree]

Am I dead?

high card lvl 1 btw

[thorny axle]

magic deck is in my top 3

[cosmic maple]

You can always wraith and hope for smth good

[magic tree]

I get rid of sixth sense I guess

[cosmic maple]

Yea

[magic tree]

or bbc

[cosmic maple]

:(

[magic tree]

baseball

[cosmic maple]

What'd you get?

[zenith timber]

sell golden ticket for the double tag?

do i need this?

[tawdry burrow]

holy shit it's photochad

[honest dawn]

It's not worth it

[zenith timber]

ok

[honest dawn]

I think the top 5 is good for my most used cards

Blue Seal should be number 1.

[cosmic maple]

No ecto?

[honest dawn]

Ecto is good very rarely

I don't know if you understand me

[cosmic maple]

Also surprisingly high soul dam

[honest dawn]

It's very good, but you can't abuse it.

[cosmic maple]

Nah

Ecto is good a lot of the time

Well

Depends on what your going for

[honest dawn]

And you also need to have your build already assembled.

[magic tree]

The order

I lost

[cosmic maple]

High card ecto is goated

[cosmic maple]

Dam

[honest dawn]

Furthermore, on that account I played much more gold stake than endless

Think about that

[cosmic maple]

Dam

[wary flicker]

negative dagger is mmmm

[cosmic maple]

Haven't got past blue stake yet so Ig I can't be talking rn

[magic tree]

It's ok

I lost by 10k points

[soft vapor]

I'm a fucking idiot

[weak harbor]

this run is going wild icl

[soft vapor]

I pressed "unlock all" because I thought it would do nothing because I've gotten Completionist

Well it did do nothing

But I couldn't get achievements now

So I restarted my account

[honest dawn]

Noooo

F

[soft vapor]

But I mean

[quartz ember]

naneinf sooon

[soft vapor]

Guess I'm preparing myself for switiching to an another device

[honest dawn]

You should have created another account last

[sand lily]

Rerolled for the plant. It was fun while it lasted.

[honest dawn]

And unlock all

[weak harbor]

hopefully gonna hit my first here i really dont know how i could possibly fuck this up besides just not having enough money

if i pull observatory its basically locked i think

[honest dawn]

I don't see it as very likely, unless it has a lot of cryptids

[last bolt]

I love Rough Gem

[quartz ember]

they just need a bp/bs and burger

[soft vapor]

Can't believe this screenshot won't matter now 🥹

RIP mr bones

[last bolt]

#mrboneshate

[honest dawn]

What

A hater of marbones

[weak harbor]

genuine question why not

just too poor?

[last bolt]

this mf

[quartz ember]

nah you have prime naneinf setup

[last bolt]

I took him for the last blind

He did NOT do shit

[quartz ember]

I gueas depends if you already have retcon or not

[soft vapor]

He would if you would've died

[weak harbor]

yup i do

[honest dawn]

You must be doing more than just e87, it seems to me.

[quartz ember]

ok yea ez

[honest dawn]

You need 4 brainstorms or blueprints (at least one blueprint to have two Mimes)

[weak harbor]

yup still hunting that in store, this is where im at rn but obv i wanna drop a baron/mimie for one

[honest dawn]

And then there's the one who gives you more help, whose name I can't remember in English.

And DNA

[honest dawn]

It absolutely must be a blueprint or Brainstorm; having two barons is not acceptable.

[weak harbor]

4 gold kings + 5 steel = E74 as of rn

[honest dawn]

Because you have to double the Joker's effect that gives you more hands

And play in the final blind of the snake game

[quartz ember]

might be enough if you get observatory though

[last bolt]

that fucking blind that i hate

[soft vapor]

Man...

[honest dawn]

So you need to have a baron, a mime, a dna, the one that gives you more hands, 4 blueprints or Brainstorms (one must be a blueprint)

[weak harbor]

yeah ive spent a very large amount trying to get my last copy

[floral mural]

what did you do

[soft vapor]

This is not the time throwback you suck

[weak harbor]

and the game just really hates me

[honest dawn]

The observatory takes a long time to achieve the same score

[soft vapor]

I was curious what would unlock all do if I have gotten completionist

[left wave]

hf unlocking again marble joker

[honest dawn]

At the point in the game you're at, I don't think it will ever be naneinf

[soft vapor]

It just locked me out of future achievements

[soft vapor]

How do you do it again

[floral mural]

tbf it does warn you

[honest dawn]

You can do the bean bug

[soft vapor]

I mean yeah but I thought it would just lock me out of the completionist achievement

[honest dawn]

In ante 16 or 24

[soft vapor]

Turns out all of the text is red

[left wave]

i'm just dumb it is already unlocked

it's stone joker

not even close man wtf am i saying

[weak harbor]

would it make sense to replace my non negative mime with burglar if it shows up in any of my next few shops so that i dont have to risk not rolling it after ante 24?

[latent egret]

you still need antimatter anyways

[weak harbor]

I got it

[latent egret]

nvm

[honest dawn]

With 2000 in money, in theory you should have it. But it might not be.

[latent egret]

you got mad cryptids

[honest dawn]

Yes, you need antimatter.

And two ectoplasms

[weak harbor]

nah man those are plutos </3

lf observatory

[latent egret]

ah

[honest dawn]

If negative mime is natural

[latent egret]

how much are they adding ?

[honest dawn]

It can be naneinf

[weak harbor]

it was an ecto, i couldnt find antimatter and was starting to get in a really bad spot so i just used it incase i never found anti

showman was nat

5 copy + mime + baron + dna ante 22
should i replace one of my copies with burglar if it comes around prior to ante 24 or just hope i roll after?

[neat ore]

Legendary joker idea! It would be based off Archibald Armstrong and would be basically Mr bones but won't be consumed and ya gotta have a score at least 40% of the required one! I thought it's a cool concept since Archibald Armstrong is known for avoiding really bad situations what ya guys think

[heady narwhal]

x2.5 mult

[neat ore]

What

[quartz ember]

dont take burglar before a24 tbh

[zenith timber]

bro should i sell and roll for baron too

[heady narwhal]

"prevents death if round score is at least 40% of required chips" ≈ "x2.5 mult"

[neat ore]

Yeah basically

[midnight basin]

If i dont have dna should i just be going for polychrome instead of glass

[heady narwhal]

except you can lose up to $9/ante from blind rewards

[midnight basin]

How do you have 700 lmao

[zenith timber]

wdym

[neat ore]

Nah it will give ya reward money

[zenith timber]

red seal gold with golden ticket and blueprint is $48 per card (with chad)

[neat ore]

It's a legendary after all

[heady narwhal]

that seems a little weak for a legendary imo even if it lets you generate more value per round by playing all your hands

[soft vapor]

Alright

[zenith timber]

do i go for the baron/mime now?

[neat ore]

Hmmmm I'll think of a different concept

[midnight basin]

700 dollars

[heady narwhal]

still better than triboulet though!!!💯

also it'd probably be very powerful for endless. like mr bones

[zenith timber]

golden ticket

[zenith timber]

tipssss

[quartz ember]

you might as well sell canio i guess

[cosmic maple]

WHAT THE FUCK WHY CANT I GET THIS LUCK ON A NORMAL FUCKING RUN (on a knifes edge challenge deck)

[zenith timber]

canio is x12 is it worth selling?

[neat ore]

What if it gained 1x mult for every 5 hands ya play? Kinda like a yorick but different

[quartz ember]

i mean if you are going for baron anyways, your other option is selling gticket but then you are not finding anything anyways

[zenith timber]

ok fair

@quartz ember what about now is idol worth 😭

i’m lowk playing more high card although my flush 5 is like level 15

[thorny axle]

thats like

another photograph i think

mental math is hard

[quartz ember]

if you are fixed then you obviously take, if not fixed then you obviously dont take

replacing photo for now is ok

I assume you are scoring fine

[zenith timber]

yes

i am like 95% fixed

[thorny axle]

okay

im going through the patchnotes

[heady narwhal]

95% is risky i think

[quartz ember]

ew

[thorny axle]

what was old 8ball?

[zenith timber]

lowk is 💔

[rugged bloom]

Hang on now, I think I'm on something

[heady narwhal]

do you mean 95% of your cards are the same?

[thorny axle]

the plant will find you

[heady narwhal]

plant doesn't counter parking

[thorny axle]

it doesnt?????

[heady narwhal]

or midas or faceless

[zenith timber]

sorry discord on my ipad isn’t working

[midnight basin]

Would baseball benefit me at all here

[heady narwhal]

you lose 1 round of value generation it's not a big deal

[thorny axle]

question

[heady narwhal]

it's not like you die

[thorny axle]

what happens if you strength a stone card

[heady narwhal]

its rank goes up by one

[quartz ember]

the idol will def mishit before you are fixed

[zenith timber]

ok i’ll keep rolling for baron for now

[heady narwhal]

if you un-stone it it'll be one rank higher than it was before

[white zodiac]

plant doesn’t counter jokers that don’t directly score you points for the blind requirements

[thorny axle]

yeah but less money = bad

[fickle mesa]

do u mean like the bone glitch

[heady narwhal]

money with midas and faceless and parking on plant = money without midas and faceless and parking on plant

[fickle mesa]

or is there a mr bones tech i dont know abt

[red thistle]

In comparison for completely losing a run.

[red thistle]

Hi.

[thorny axle]

THERE WAS A TIME WITH $3 REBATE?????

these old patch notes are fucking wild

[fickle mesa]

tbh 3$ rebate would be like

literally fine

[red thistle]

$3 rebate is literally still good.

[fickle mesa]

thats 6$ per round initially that with deckfixing can grow significantly higher

[thorny axle]

no

as in

it COSTS $3

not it GIVES $3

[fickle mesa]

i mean

[heady narwhal]

i'm a big fan of the "you draw about half your deck" heuristic

[white zodiac]

k what’s the logic of making rebate cheaper

[heady narwhal]

it's pretty useful

[red thistle]

Not so fun fact: golden joker's base price is $6 while rebate is $5.

[heady narwhal]

not so fact either

[thorny axle]

yeah because rebate requires

[fickle mesa]

isnt golden joker literally 6

[thorny axle]

some form of effort

also isnt golden joker 6

[fickle mesa]

it pays for itself

[heady narwhal]

rebate is $4 as well

[red thistle]

Fuck whatever.

[white zodiac]

you’re thinking of his funny counterpart

o

[thorny axle]

ITS NOT $5???

[heady narwhal]

it's $4

[thorny axle]

am i stupid?

[red thistle]

Point is, it's fucked up that gjoker is more expensive than rebate.

[thorny axle]

cloud nine?

[heady narwhal]

also did you know that cavendish is cheaper than gros michel

[fickle mesa]

it makes sense

[thorny axle]

yeah because cavendish is the final form

[red thistle]

Doesn't.

[fickle mesa]

i mean that it makes sense that golden joker costs 6

[thorny axle]

the glow is it expelling the cost from its body

[fickle mesa]

rebates problem isnt its price its its overtuning

[thorny axle]

oh shit i cant read

i was wrong

[heady narwhal]

it's so funny to me that one of the five $6 common jokers is fortune teller of all things

[white zodiac]

gj doesn’t require work or any sort of mini game task which is reasonable

[thorny axle]

it gave $3 it didnt cost $3

[white zodiac]

but yeah $3 value rebate is fine

[heady narwhal]

not so fun fact: reserved parking costs $6 and rebate costs $4

[thorny axle]

anyways $3 rebate would still be fine

[white zodiac]

parking is based like that

[red thistle]

That's very messed up.

[heady narwhal]

both are minigame jokers but rebate is a way easier and more rewarding minigame

[red thistle]

How much is redcard, $5?

[fickle mesa]

damn youd expect 6$ to be reserved for like a scaling joker like ride the bus or supernova

[thorny axle]

i find it funny that out of the 15 $8 rares you just have

wee joker

[white zodiac]

same price as ttm

[red thistle]

Econs are busted insane.

[fickle mesa]

not a non scaling joker like fortune teller

[red thistle]

Even as little as gj.

[thorny axle]

im not saying wee joker isnt worth $8 its just funny its worth as much as obelisk

[fickle mesa]

slash reference

[thorny axle]

$4 is $4

[fickle mesa]

both are worth 8 dollars

[heady narwhal]

i think loyalty card and seltzer should be common

would be fun

[white zodiac]

both are the pinnacles of their own scoring category

[wary flicker]

I think loyalty card should be removed

[red thistle]

I disagree with seltzer.

[thorny axle]

you know what annoys me

theres no rare food joker

[fickle mesa]

why should loyalty card be removed

[wary flicker]

and yh I agree with seltzer uncommon

[thorny axle]

loyalty kaard is just kinda meh

[wary flicker]

idk, its not fun to use, its so inconsistent, you have to plan how many hands to use to utilize it best

[heady narwhal]

i think loyalty card should be patched so that it doesn't break on eye/mouth/psychic/heart but otherwise it's awesome

[thorny axle]

bad joker idea

[wary flicker]

yeah im with niMsi

[fickle mesa]

rare jokers are usually designed to be long term plans

[untold onyx]

Loyalty card is interesting in concept but it could be nice with a small tweak, just make it somewhat viable, I like that it's thematically fitting at least

[red thistle]

Jmibo's infamous move.

[wary flicker]

I cant even think of how it should be fixed tbh

maybe like

[fickle mesa]

outside of like i guess burnt joker

[thorny axle]

campfire?????

[fickle mesa]

yes

[wary flicker]

what

campfire is awesome

[fickle mesa]

campfire is very much a long term joker

[heady narwhal]

i keep burnt joker around for a long time

[wary flicker]

oh

i cant read

[thorny axle]

burnt joker is the GOAT

[red thistle]

Hrt, campfire, blueprint/bs.

[floral mural]

you keep ot around to keep getting levels

[thorny axle]

do not diss him

[fickle mesa]

me too but usually thats just because nothing better has come along

[zenith timber]

bro

what do i sell

[heady narwhal]

i think when it isn't broken it's good enough at what it does

[wary flicker]

prolly ticket right

[red thistle]

Some rares that are insta value.

[thorny axle]

Meh, Some Threes
Average out all probabilities
(etc: Instead of Bloodstone being 1 in 2 to give 1.5x mult its 100% chance to give 1.25x mult)

[zenith timber]

what about if i can’t get baron 💔

[floral mural]

loyalty card is fine

[heady narwhal]

do some planning to get through a difficult boss blind and buy yourself more time

[red thistle]

Same with bbc.

[wary flicker]

then it doesnt matter a

[zenith timber]

nah i’ll sell ticket right

[wary flicker]

yh

[fickle mesa]

the levels have diminishing returns and there comes a point where id rather have another form of value

plus like if i have blue seals i dont need the slot spent on burnt joker anymore

[wary flicker]

yh

but burnt joker is very fun

[heady narwhal]

i mean, planet generation is sort of quadratic

[wary flicker]

and cool design

[red thistle]

Between that and spending in the shop.

[zenith timber]

bro 😭😭

worth or nah

[white zodiac]

1.25^5 barely equates to blackboard scoring btw

[wary flicker]

lmao

[red thistle]

Bye mime.

[heady narwhal]

two copies of burnt joker is 4x as good as one copy of burnt joker

[zenith timber]

sell mime right?

[wary flicker]

yh

or

depends on deck

[fickle mesa]

i guess

[thorny axle]

hey i said it was BAD for a reason

[fickle mesa]

hallucination is now a 100% chance to create half a tarot card

[red thistle]

Two copies of burnt joker are my favorite guarateed win in gold.

[heady narwhal]

the +mult part is not quite as powerful so it's not really 4x but it does open up possibilities for glass / steel to get through vv or heart

[thorny axle]

1 tarot card every other pack

[thorny axle]

thats...
thats now how math works???
if anything it would be worse because dimmishing returns
if im wrong please correct me

[heady narwhal]

every tarot card is half of an emperor

[red thistle]

Every half a tarot card is half a fool.

[thorny axle]

aren't we all?

[heady narwhal]

base score (chips * mult) is roughly proportional to level^2

so if you scale level twice as fast, you're scaling scoring 4x as fast

[red thistle]

What about 3 (three) copies of burnt joker?

[thorny axle]

even betterer

[heady narwhal]

that would be 9x as fast as one copy

or 2.25x as fast as two

[zenith timber]

now what

[wary flicker]

whats your deck

[heady narwhal]

new run black deck gold stake

[red thistle]

Were you actually doing kings.

[heady narwhal]

plasma deck white stake so i would guess so

[wary flicker]

hmmm

idk

[zenith timber]

me neither

[wary flicker]

feels risky

[red thistle]

THey had a mime minute ago and i told them to sell it.

[white zodiac]

having no 6s upsets the nannys

[jagged valve]

I love vanilla

[wary flicker]

sad

[white zodiac]

o

[midnight basin]

Are these worth swapping? Im doing an aces only 5 with same suit

[wary flicker]

id say yes

[zenith timber]

i feel like sell photo or chad

[thorny axle]

shiny ass build

[zenith timber]

cuz then invis joker next round

[red thistle]

If anything it's better to swap it with the dusk.

[thorny axle]

anyways, kill dusk

[midnight basin]

Really?

[heady narwhal]

"vanilla"
look inside
deck sleeve

[midnight basin]

You think throw that in instead of dusk

[red thistle]

#⚙・modding-general

Cease.

[wary flicker]

dusk isnt incredible which is sad cause

best art

or idk acc

but deffo up there

[midnight basin]

Not even with all glass cards?

[last bolt]

heh

[zenith timber]

u guys pick sell photo or chad for baron

[wary flicker]

hmmmm

[wary flicker]

feels like both are kinda useless without the other ngl

[zenith timber]

i will sell the latter for the invis joker before duping

[red thistle]

Show us your levels.

[zenith timber]

17 flush 5
23 high card

[wary flicker]

hmm

changes things

[zenith timber]

i might just sell chad then win next round, sell photo, sell invis joker

and get dupe brainstorm blueprint or baron

[wary flicker]

yh

[zenith timber]

then get mime and win

[wary flicker]

shame for that mime

e

[red thistle]

Sell chad.

[vale wharf]

Bruhhhhhh, yellow deck is better than green deck in every way

Green deck sucks so bad

[wary flicker]

yellow deck my beloved

but green doesnt suck necessarily

[midnight basin]

I just feel like dusk improves the impact of my jokers so substantially and the glass on top of that but i also dont know how hard an additional 3x mult would be

[heavy hare]

i found yellow fairly easy

but green deck is a disadvantage

[vale wharf]

What a start to the run, wow

Too bad it's perishable

[heavy hare]

groker 👅

[vale wharf]

groker 👅

[heavy hare]

reroll for a second groker

trust me

[calm epoch]

i hadnt checked thw photo detailed and i just realized it was perishable, sad

[vale wharf]

Same, I realised after I sent the image 😭

[heavy hare]

at this point blueprint is not worth buying

[zenith timber]

Lowk crazy unseeded

[heavy hare]

😿

[calm epoch]

😭

[zenith timber]

Pray for mime and naneinf 😎

[heavy hare]

mime hiding from u lmao

[calm epoch]

tmrw im gonna retry the seed i had found with 3 souls lmao

[warped moth]

Honestly is that rly worth?

If it wasn't perishable then yes

[heavy hare]

perkelator prolly needed for naneinf

[zenith timber]

ik one can only hope

[heavy hare]

and a negative as well

[warped moth]

But you will be killing all your econ for it if you get that

[thorny axle]

the fuck is a perkelator

[warped moth]

Oh wait

[heavy hare]

definitely not

[warped moth]

Green deck

[heavy hare]

it's cool tho

[heavy hare]

perkeo

[zenith timber]

i have petroglpyh in shop, should i take?

or do i survive for now

[thorny axle]

is that where you get observatory, perkeo and a pluto card

[vale wharf]

I'm not buying it

[wary flicker]

I think yes

[heavy hare]

probably

[warped moth]

True ig...

[zenith timber]

should i wait till boss or just take now

[vale wharf]

No way I'm buying perishable for $10

[heavy hare]

it lets u dig for mime longer

[zenith timber]

idk the strategy for it

[calm epoch]

perkeo isnt a requirement for naneinf, you can also achieve it with a build that consists of enough redsteel kings, a burglar (which should get copied by all the bp/bs), and the serpent as the boss blind

[warped moth]

One of my runs today started with nat negative golden joker (Couldn't afford getting it tho)

[heavy hare]

yeah but no burger 😿

[warped moth]

Very funny run start

[calm epoch]

starvation

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[calm epoch]

i love bloodstone

[warped moth]

I am indifferent about Bloodstone

[serene forge]

dies to no ecto and no econ

@white zodiac HOW ARE YOU ALWAYS HERE

[tranquil steppe]

You can be my bff

[calm epoch]

hornet dont you dare question my skills with bloodstone, im lucky enough to hit an oops every time i encounter bloodstone

UnU

[calm epoch]

hell yea

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone loves all and forgives all sins

[warped moth]

Jokes aside I like Bloodstone builds

[calm epoch]

except hornet, appearently

[serene forge]

average bloodstone run

[tranquil steppe]

Join us

[calm epoch]

thats on you vro

[warped moth]

It's just that to get a successful bloodstone build you have to either be as lucky as lesbian hornet just got or have a lot of setup

[red thistle]

That's my goat.

[wintry ice]

taking a rental eternal bloodstone as a c++ player 🥀

[serene forge]

i had doubl bloodstone with dusk but this horseshit game of rng headed me on ante 3 😡

[heady narwhal]

would've gone 0 for 20 on any other boss anyways

[zenith timber]

GG

[warped moth]

Hello there! :D

[serene forge]

stupid game

[calm epoch]

lmao

[zenith timber]

where do i go after this? make all steel and pray for negatives?

[calm epoch]

arrowhead gameplay when

[white zodiac]

idkwym

[heady narwhal]

$2 on yellow deck. artful

[wintry ice]

only make steel when you need to

[serene forge]

gold

you need econ badly

[zenith timber]

ok i’m half steel and half gold now

[warped moth]

My favourite of the stone jokers icl

[wintry ice]

well a little before you need to

[zenith timber]

should i convert back to gold?

or is half half ok

[red thistle]

Plasmatitutes.

[calm epoch]

yo, yall

wanna hear sth crazy

[heady narwhal]

i mean you can probably draw a full-ish hand of gold right

[warped moth]

+50 chips per Spade is batshit insane, idk how they kept it so strong 😭🙏

[calm epoch]

i have used like 20 souls so far but still no caino even once

[zenith timber]

yes

[heady narwhal]

inb4 +30 in 1.1 update

[serene forge]

that's probably fine, im guessing you needed steel to live because no mime?

[heady narwhal]

localthunk hates flushes

[zenith timber]

yes

[warped moth]

Flashbacks to the run from 2 days ago where I sold Canio to keep getting riff raff value in Abandoned Deck :trollface:

[calm epoch]

jokes on him, the first deck that i maxed out is checkered

[zenith timber]

wait if i have serpent now should i reroll to save him or how does it work

[white zodiac]

thankfully arrowhead isn’t a flush joker

[calm epoch]

W H A T (smart decision, W's in the chat)

[serene forge]

ive done funnier things

[red thistle]

Can't believe there isn't a toilet joker that is a pun about flushes yet.

[white zodiac]

tribe

[calm epoch]

well, boss blinds cycle around each other, so even if you go against serpent now you can roll a specific amount of times later on and get it again

[terse vale]

goat mentioned

carried me in a 3oak run

[zenith timber]

ok got it thanks

[calm epoch]

whats ur current build lookin like

as in deck + jokers

[warped moth]

Setting up Canio on Abandoned Deck may be cool and all, but have you ever 8s Full House instead?

[zenith timber]

I’ll play 4 hands to get rest of the golds out

If I can even bottleneck it thst much

[calm epoch]

you should be good for a while, save money for spectral packs for an ecto, then reroll for burglar and then save again

[red thistle]

If you ever find a dna then drop the brainstorm for it.

[serene forge]

I hate Smiley Face

[calm epoch]

if you see dna before burglar, take it, iy will be very important to clone your redsteels, around 40-50 of them is needed

[zenith timber]

is this possible to naneinf? or just get very high

[calm epoch]

naneinf possible

[zenith timber]

yoo that’s sick

[calm epoch]

but only with a burglar in the build alongside every other atuff u have rn

thats y u need an ecto first

[red thistle]

Don't know about naneinf but it will likely score very high if you find dna soon enough.

[zenith timber]

i see

[serene forge]

you need ecto and retcon still

[zenith timber]

retcon i have

no ecto

[thorny axle]

the plant gets glazed like crazy

it should not be ante 4+

[vale wharf]

Worst jumbo arcana pack ever 😭

[red thistle]

Goodnight chat.

[calm epoch]

then dna to clone enough redsteels until you get around 50

[thorny axle]

yknow what harm could 1 more boss in the ante 1 pool do

[serene forge]

true

[calm epoch]

then burglar in replacement of dna

[zenith timber]

ok i see will try

[hexed estuary]

it's cuz people crutch photochad 👀

[white zodiac]

and more than 66 bucks

[heady narwhal]

which joker is most likely to make you run straight flushes

[white zodiac]

uh

[warped moth]

I'd argue it being ante 4+ makes it even worse to deal with
That's when face card builds are slowly starting to rely more and more on the face cards

[white zodiac]

4 fingers

[warped moth]

I meannn shortcut

[shell dagger]

miau

[terse vale]

fingers
but this seems like a trick question

[calm epoch]

4 fingers and shortcut both hold the first place

[heady narwhal]

4 fingers is likely to make me reroll the shop

[terse vale]

prolly not smeared

[calm epoch]

then smeared in second

[warped moth]

Oh wait straight flush

Mb

[thorny axle]

todo list

[terse vale]

I don’t see many people talk about smeared when doing flraight for some reason

[shell dagger]

shortcut enables straight flush almost immediately on abandoned

[terse vale]

actually

vagabond prolly up there

somewhat

[white zodiac]

they say that and then gets followed up with their personal highest ante 8 obelisk

[heady narwhal]

i wouldn't build for strush in order to do the to do list personally

[terse vale]

bro my dumbass said flraight

[warped moth]

I actually got a four fingers/smeared combo and got strush gold stakes yesterday!

[calm epoch]

for straight flushes
shortcut and 4 finger in first place
smeared in second
tribe in third place ig

[hexed estuary]

I would basically never build for strush on high stakes, too inconsistent unless youre just triyng to do a fun run for the hell of it

[terse vale]

tribe is crazy

[honest dawn]

Two pages already done

[terse vale]

ya vagabond is still up there

[white zodiac]

tribe

[calm epoch]

free xmult while ur at it, yknow

[heady narwhal]

it's not a joker but most of my strush runs involved orbital tag

[calm epoch]

thats y i put it below the others tho

[terse vale]

just not worth it

[serene forge]

bloodstone because that's the only time i can use it without wanting to gouge my eyes out

[honest dawn]

Ah, I made two but I accidentally sent another one haha

[warped moth]

I'd place four fingers above shortcut, personally
It feels like four fingers is specifically really good with strushes compared to shortcut

[calm epoch]

meh, still a decent pick, considering how fast sflush planets scale

[thorny axle]

i have one (1) goal in life

Royal Flush Build

[white zodiac]

i don’t think you understood the assignment

[heady narwhal]

when strush is already lv4 or lv25 or whatever i'm more likely to want to use it

[serene forge]

there should be more incentive to run strush

[honest dawn]

Nope!

[serene forge]

but I don't want to nerf saturn

[terse vale]

yupp

[warped moth]

...because?

[thorny axle]

buff every plant BUT saturn

[honest dawn]

Seriously though, the shortcut is more useful for a straight flush

Or at least I got more out of it.

[white zodiac]

seance now blows up your played hands

[honest dawn]

They're both good.

[serene forge]

no don't buff jupiter

[terse vale]

maybe its because i’ve never really done strush builds but I feel like people only ever associate it with four fingers

I think that influenced my choices

[thorny axle]

I II II I_

[calm epoch]

is that loss

[minor portal]

make all planets give +1 mult and +1 chips

[warped moth]

Personal experience ig. I always feel a lot more comfortable getting strush with four fingers than shortcut
Though tbf I don't see shortcut and attempt strush, I just go straight

[thorny axle]

yes.

it is loss.

[calm epoch]

damn.

we lost the game ig

such a big loss

[thorny axle]

BRO

WHAT WAS THAT FOR

[calm epoch]

PFF-

[honest dawn]

Ironically, the times I played straight flush it was without shortcuts or four fingers

[calm epoch]

[heady narwhal]

it's not a perfect metric but

# of strushes with shortcut = 512
# of strushes with 4fingers = something like 1287? that might be wrong

[calm epoch]

lmao

[warped moth]

lmao

[heady narwhal]

i love markdown

[warped moth]

I knew what happened before you fixed it

So peak

[calm epoch]

fr

[white zodiac]

what about just straights

[calm epoch]

then they arent gay tho, not worthy enough mentioning

[vale wharf]

LT should be tried in a court of law for allowing negative tags to apply to such shit jokers

[calm epoch]

💀

[thorny axle]

8ball is NOT shit

[terse vale]

[calm epoch]

at least you will now get a tarot once every blue moon

[thorny axle]

do not slander the Ball of Justice

[warped moth]

8ball is just misunderstood....

[lament bronze]

8 ball is by every metric quite an underwhelming if not actively detrimental joker simply for the low chance if it procing

[calm epoch]

temperance value

[warped moth]

Also 8ball negative goes incredibly hard

[minor portal]

just hit the 1/4

[lament bronze]

But hey at least it doesn't really harm you as much as some others...

[thorny axle]

two dice.

[minor portal]

it's as shrimple as that

[terse vale]

detrimental?

[honest dawn]

I've done runs with 8-ball

[warped moth]

Just play more 8s

Trust me

[shell dagger]

if 8 ball is detrimental then vagabond is detrimental

[honest dawn]

The idea is to shape your deck to have a lot of 8s

[lament bronze]

Investing into a rank that doesn't have much better stuff to do and tunnel visioning for a low reward

[shell dagger]

shaking my blue seals

[calm epoch]

woh

[vale wharf]

It should just give a tarot card if an 8 is scored smh

[honest dawn]

And activate it constantly

[warped moth]

Keep it until it feeds itself

[thorny axle]

even steven

fibbo

[lament bronze]

I mostly meant at worst

[heady narwhal]

i know that shortcut multiplies the total # of possible straights by 12.8 but idk about 4 fingers. harder to calculate i think

[warped moth]

After it starts feeding itself you're flying

[thorny axle]

look thats it but fibbo doing some heavy ass carrying here

[lament bronze]

It actively makes you play worse plays because of its requirements

[shell dagger]

investing into any rank is better than not investing into any rank imo

[terse vale]

going into 8s for 8 ball has been beneficial plenty of times

[white zodiac]

i like some self enabling effects of 8 ball at its average rate

[terse vale]

it snowballs or whatever

[calm epoch]

just take the mult around 2.25 or sth

[heady narwhal]

i love 8s

[terse vale]

also even if you don’t invest into it, it can still be somewhat useful

maybe like 2 tarots before you drop it usually

[lament bronze]

Yeah but tunnel visioning over a common joker that doesn't even have a close to reliable rate of output is nowhere near as close to useful as any other joker that isn't actually making your run worse (Marble without hologram)

[vocal quartz]

i’m gonna cry

[heady narwhal]

what's the worst rank for fibonacci

[warped moth]

Yes, 8s aren't the most notable rank in Balatro buut 8ball can by itself be your deckfixing towards an 8s 4oak/5oak if you have jokers to support your scoring

[thorny axle]

crazy ass bait

[white zodiac]

3

[heady narwhal]

imo kings, since they don't trigger fibonacci and they also suck for other reasons

[white zodiac]

oh

u got me

[warped moth]

I like this kind if humour

[calm epoch]

8 maybe? with the others you can at least form a big part of a straight

[heady narwhal]

i like 8 better than 2 and 3 personally

[lament bronze]

Most of them can retrigger, ace has scholar to also generate chips, 8 has 8 ball which is already getting glazed like crazy so

[heady narwhal]

why would i strength aces/twos

[lament bronze]

Between those options you have to choose which one feels the worst

[calm epoch]

2 has wee

[zenith timber]

I should take any random nat negatives right?

[shell dagger]

yes

[thorny axle]

it cant hurt

[calm epoch]

5-4-3-2-ace can form a straight

[terse vale]

it gets more reliable as you build into it! it also works nicely with retriggers
i’m not saying its GREAT but still
also in this case you’d be building into one rank, which is cool for 3oak or 4oak

[warped moth]

Is this a "which rank is the best" debate again? 😭

[lament bronze]

Yeah but they also have hack alongside 3 and 5 so they are already a whole level above 8 or aces

[thorny axle]

worst case scenario it does nothing

[shell dagger]

unless they’re harmful (like madness/dagger/midas once you have steel)

[calm epoch]

you can try

[thorny axle]

2s are the best rank for fibbo
