[soft vapor]

Because it is

[vocal rose]

plant doesnt counter photochad

[shell dagger]

ive been wrongly comparing mr bones with loyalty card, mr bones gives you 4x for every hand in the round, loyalty card ofc doesn’t

[heavy heron]

erosion is above vagabond

that’s funny

[soft vapor]

It's just that naneinf builds without directors yet

[pale wolf]

yup yup

[heady narwhal]

I love Loyalty Card

other tjan the horrible bug that makes it unusable

[soft vapor]

Yeah no I actually hate loyalty card

[marsh needle]

Ive gotten erosion value like once 🥲

[soft vapor]

It feels so janky to play with

[serene forge]

mr bones is solid

[heavy heron]

erosion is good but .. A tier?

[serene forge]

it saves you from vv bullshit

[wary flicker]

loyalty card man

[heavy heron]

i think not

[wary flicker]

idk

[serene forge]

...that's about it really

[heady narwhal]

erosion is one of the worst +mult scalers but it's significantly better than ft and bootstraps imo

[marsh needle]

I think erosion should start with like 6 base mult or something like it… trying to get cards destroyed is just too luck dependent :P

[marsh needle]

Boobstraps is awesome :<

[distant vault]

Bootstraps is dog shit

[marsh needle]

_<

[heady narwhal]

that's a different joker

[marsh needle]

Oh word

[vocal rose]

it’s the worst +mult scaler

[heavy heron]

woah woah

[marsh needle]

Hey dont be mean :(

i like bootstraps i be strappin my boots n shit

[vocal rose]

being honest isn’t mean if it’s true

[distant vault]

Bull ain't bad tho

[pale wolf]

bootstraps vs uhhhh what else lol
purple joker?

[heady narwhal]

i used bootstraps recently but it only worked because

• i found it in ante 7 and never found any other scaling +mult before
• the rest of my build was done
• i had rebate

[pale wolf]

rebate is big

[vocal rose]

flash card

[heady narwhal]

that's a very specific set of conditions for a jonkler to do anything

[heady narwhal]

i'd rate Jj over ft

[marsh needle]

I won ante 1 bootstraps pickup yesterday

[heady narwhal]

maybe over erosion? idk

[marsh needle]

i think it was blue stake

painted deck

[pale wolf]

ooh yea

[wary flicker]

erosion too hard to make work yh

[marsh needle]

Used reserved parking with bootstraps and ice cream to hold me over til i got a lucky bull

[wary flicker]

bull god

[pale wolf]

flash card seriously sucks 😭

[wary flicker]

gave me goldstake win

[distant vault]

FLASH CARD MY LOVE

[unborn cliff]

madness stickered

[unborn cliff]

inoptimal joker order

[distant vault]

Brainstorm was disabled dummy

[unborn cliff]

rude

[marsh needle]

Damn get fucked

[heady narwhal]

Jj is extremely situational (read: bad)

[marsh needle]

[distant vault]

[heady narwhal]

but i think it works in significantly more situations than bootstraps does

for example, you're allowed to spend any of your money

[wary flicker]

it doesnt go down

[marsh needle]

Im gonna re order my jokers everytime i send a screenshot now

[wary flicker]

which is better

[distant vault]

Red card a poor man's flash card

[heady narwhal]

it's also pretty nice if you already have reroll voucher i think

[wary flicker]

W

red card >>>>>

[heady narwhal]

they're not very similar imo

[pale wolf]

Jj is the third best reroll based +mult scaler

[marsh needle]

I always see red card in ante 1 and it just is hard to reap usage out of so early

Though when it works, it works

Red card can do crazy numbers

[wary flicker]

yh but its good for the long run

[distant vault]

They're similar in the sense that spending money gives mult

[wary flicker]

ive had so many easy red card builds

[soft vapor]

I literally haven't gotten canio to scale

[distant vault]

In that sense if you're filthy rich jj is better

[soft vapor]

Not a single number

[marsh needle]

There is no long run in gold stake black deck without mult

[wary flicker]

need sth like popcorn e

[marsh needle]

popcorn worst +mult scaler

It literally goes down

Stupid

[wary flicker]

obviously lmfoa

[marsh needle]

Stupid joker

[soft vapor]

Ermmm

[heady narwhal]

you need to support redcard with another +mult for the first few antes but i think it's definitely worth speculatively picking up in a1

[soft vapor]

Oh scaler

[distant vault]

Got em

[marsh needle]

-mult scaler

[wary flicker]

reading my thoughts

[heady narwhal]

if you're about to die you can sometimes just skip one pack for a tiny bit of +mult

[soft vapor]

Yeah but ramen

[marsh needle]

If i see it in a pack and theres no other great options sure

But so early im not spending for it

[soft vapor]

Oh wait +mult

I'm silly

[pale wolf]

[wary flicker]

ramen good with hc/pair build tho

[unborn cliff]

here win

[heady narwhal]

if i see shop 1 redcard, even outside of a pack, i'm taking it

long as it isn't rental

[marsh needle]

i wouldnt fr

[soft vapor]

Hologram because you'll redeem magic trick trust me

[marsh needle]

Unless deck is easier

[heady narwhal]

parking is funnier

[distant vault]

Who takes a rental golden joker

[pale wolf]

i think parking is correct tbh

[pale wolf]

you should if you have space

[heady narwhal]

early econ is extremely valuable

[marsh needle]

Usually no because if it subtracts money to go under 1 interest then its net equal

i guessss its like a few dollars then

[heady narwhal]

rental golden joker is $0.4 per round

[marsh needle]

In 5 rounds youll get like 3 bucks for spending 1

[pale wolf]

good stuff

judgement made acro

[heady narwhal]

it's 10% as good as regular golden joker!!!

[marsh needle]

For like 16% the cost hey

Maybe not so bad

[distant vault]

New gold stake run idea: take only rental jokers

[heady narwhal]

nice

[marsh needle]

The rng of trying to actually find rentals hahaha

ive played madness gold stake

[idle haven]

Thanks instagram

[distant vault]

Sounds miserable

[marsh needle]

Shit will give you no eternals for antes and antes

the only eternal gonna be some bullshit you know it

[buoyant ridge]

does three of a kind sucks at black deck gold early ?

[distant vault]

Eternal cola:

[marsh needle]

if you get polychrome eternal cola do u take?

[steep iron]

loyalty carry

[marsh needle]

[distant vault]

Yea

[distant vault]

I have to

[marsh needle]

Not a texture pack btw they just did that

[steep iron]

after i played 69 pairs

[soft vapor]

Yesssss sell the droll you definitely won't lose

[distant vault]

Eternal invisible joker:

[marsh needle]

If youve got literally any hand levels mayybe you can sell droll?

[idle haven]

This was an old run i sold the droll and got past the round but got no point scoring jokers so I lost

[marsh needle]

If you have like level 3 two pair or something you probably make it

[distant vault]

Bro trying to get u killed

[soft vapor]

Blueprint aka newbie lure

[distant vault]

M1 Abrams

[marsh needle]

“I am NOT winning ts 😭 😭 🙏”

[soft vapor]

10$ does quite a punch if you don't have any scaling

[distant vault]

Gg

[soft vapor]

Greed

[marsh needle]

Indeed

[idle haven]

I could've gotten past but the boss blind was whatever the fuck the one where you cant use cards played that ante is called

[distant vault]

Just draw a straight flush

[soft vapor]

Pillar?

[distant vault]

Easy

[soft vapor]

Pillar is so easy

[pale wolf]

:D

[idle haven]

I guess I forgot the name tbh

[pale wolf]

im the groker, baby

[soft vapor]

I've never lost to pillar lmao

[marsh needle]

It can mess u up occccassssiionally

[idle haven]

It is if the game doesn't only pull the fucking cards you used

[marsh needle]

Skip for red card value

[idle haven]

I hate balatro

I hate it

[soft vapor]

Should've finished in one hand ngl

[wary flicker]

easiest is serpent

lol

[pale wolf]

IM DA GROKER (REROLLED)

[idle haven]

Would've had i gotten any planet cards for the hands I played

[heady narwhal]

"here, win"

blue seal next shop trust

[marsh needle]

I still dont have completion achievement LMAO

[buoyant ridge]

maybe i should learn how to draw hands ...

[distant vault]

What's that

[marsh needle]

Max collection

[wary flicker]

wait what

oh

[marsh needle]

i have almost half jokers gold sticker

[wary flicker]

just do a zodiac run?

[marsh needle]

3 decks left to gold stake, havent done zodiac yet.

[distant vault]

Zodiac deck so good

[coarse silo]

How’d you get illusion before planet tycoon

[heady narwhal]

you have an orange stake sticker on Half Joker?

[marsh needle]

Doing painted rn

[wary flicker]

fair but Id want this done first ah

[distant vault]

Tarot tycoon completely obliterates my shops

[marsh needle]

Idrc

itll come

[heady narwhal]

just use judgement . skissue

[marsh needle]

U mean antimatter?

[distant vault]

Selling abstract to get judgement cola

🧠

[marsh needle]

I mean its not all that hard, how often are you taking planet merchant?

[coarse silo]

No like the illusion voucher

[wary flicker]

never tbh

only worth with

constellation

[marsh needle]

Oh true

[heady narwhal]

i'm not taking it veru often but i play zodiac a lot

[marsh needle]

I think ive only bought once. Was just playing hologram

havent had the constellation run to buy planet tycoon for yet

just hasnt happened

[distant vault]

Pairs have reached 9,000

[marsh needle]

Havent even gotten completion but i got stickers

[marsh needle]

Wow no E hand?

[distant vault]

No I stop at ante 8 95% of the time

[marsh needle]

Ahhhh gotcha

i guess thats probably near the best ive gotten in 8 antes too

I did setup baron mime by then once tho

And i think a retrigger bloodstone oops glass card shit thing

Magbe ive scored e idk

but notttt in gold stake, that’s for sure

[distant vault]

I think that score was with trib

[marsh needle]

gotcha

[distant vault]

Endless is just a snooze fest

Bores me

[marsh needle]

Ive had 1 trib ever

[wary flicker]

how many %

[minor portal]

I'm going to stomp Yorick's head in when I finally find him

[pale wolf]

in the purest form

[distant vault]

I usually sell trib tho

Yorick is my goat

[marsh needle]

Idk how to check for specifically gold if that’s a thing

Omg 67

[minor portal]

he's the last joker I need to unlock

[wary flicker]

hoyl nice

[wary flicker]

yes my fav legendary

[distant vault]

Same

No bullshit

Just use your discards

[marsh needle]

Yeah :3

Sucks that when i got him last i had 2 discards whole 8 antes

Still got the fella to like 4 mult by then tho

[distant vault]

I also like the side quest canio puts you on

[wary flicker]

yh fair

[distant vault]

And perkeo is just so unique. Only boring legendaries for me are chicot and trib

[minor portal]

I found yorick several times during challenge runs on this profile but seemingly can't obtain this stupid idiot

[marsh needle]

Ive never got completely fucked by canio but i am aware you could just get walled

no hanged man no glass shatters no trading card etc.

[distant vault]

Hung men become rarer.

[marsh needle]

what a nightmare </3

Im usually not this split on a first pack

What we picking

[distant vault]

Flash is the cool choice

But you may die

Blue seems safe

[marsh needle]

Cool choice then

[distant vault]

[buoyant ridge]

any advice how to beat black deck on gold stake ?

what hands are best

[wary flicker]

is flash the cool choice?

[wary flicker]

no expert but pair

or hc

[pale wolf]

we do a little pivoting

wrong image

[wary flicker]

what are your favorite jokers actualy

[pale wolf]

i like the smiling one

[wary flicker]

what smiley face?

[royal bobcat]

clever

[marsh needle]

Welp rip flash card its a dead joker for the most part

[distant vault]

Take the pants!!!!

[royal bobcat]

fuck flash card all my homies hate flash card

[marsh needle]

hell yeah im gonna

[distant vault]

Chill

[buoyant ridge]

and loosing again because the game said you must play flushes

[royal bobcat]

billions must play flushes

[distant vault]

Bro took eternal flush joker

[buoyant ridge]

yeah it was my first joker to survive

otherwise rng can fuck me up on early ante with my reduced hands so i loose

and i even watched balatro university and it didnt help my anything at all..

[wary flicker]

eh its a slow proccess

im not far

lol

and sometimes you just cant figure it out

dont be too harsh on yself

[buoyant ridge]

rule nr one, never play flushes on black deck, never

what should i do here ? eternal pareidolia ?

[woven spire]

Luchador.

[frozen stream]

Just got my second nan inf unseeded

[woven spire]

Fire

[distant vault]

Bro what is paradolia gonna do

[buoyant ridge]

nothing

[woven spire]

Eternal pareidolia might be the worst take ever lol

[woven spire]

didnt see it

i died.

[white zodiac]

ok

[buoyant ridge]

how

[white zodiac]

coming from the person that's only been cherry picking losses due to user error based on your message history

decision optimizing

[woven spire]

damn

Anyway

[white zodiac]

exhibit a

[woven spire]

Matador works w the hook?

[stark karma]

is there only one instance of a visible percentage in the game?

[buoyant ridge]

im so bad literally

[woven spire]

what.

[woven spire]

ight thanks!

[barren wigeon]

NO NO NO NO NO

[white zodiac]

[serene forge]

I don't think there's a scenario where you take eternal parei like ever

[barren wigeon]

canio

abandoned deck

[buoyant ridge]

im thinking this game isnt for me if i cant beat black deck gold stake consistently

[serene forge]

an eternal one though?

[barren wigeon]

depends where im at

[wary flicker]

again why overreact

[barren wigeon]

if I can take it and survive, maybe

[wary flicker]

learning curve

[buoyant ridge]

because im feeling so bad with 500 hours in this game

[white zodiac]

@buoyant ridge has only been shoehorning on two of the most difficult decks in the game instead of playing the easier more variable decks. decides to stick with moral degradation just because

[stark karma]

Talking to u in two different servers at the same time is crazy

[buoyant ridge]

but why then do some people can beat black deck consistently

[stark karma]

To my knowledge my bones is the only case of a percentage appearing in the game

[pale wolf]

riveting gameplay

[woven spire]

lmao fr

[buoyant ridge]

lol no way

[woven spire]

interesting.

[buoyant ridge]

for example here, i had a first try win on black deck gold stake with pairs today, no plan how that happened

[hexed estuary]

consistently? that's like extremely difficult

as someone who has a similar number of hours to you it takes me several tries to beat black deck on gold stake, granted im a little out of practice rn but you should not feel bad

[white zodiac]

like who

[buoyant ridge]

you i guess ?

[hexed estuary]

if you've played 500 hours the game is probably for you lmfao

[white zodiac]

when have I ever said that

[woven spire]

lmao

[buoyant ridge]

was just a guess

[white zodiac]

its not right to assume

my win rate is probably in the low 30% if I had to guess

[hexed estuary]

the only person i've seen who can back up the claim that they can consistently beat black deck gold stake (like win more than lose) is probably Dr. Spectre and similarly invested content creators and stuff. that's a pretty extreme metric and i'd bet he has 5,000+ hours

i'm sure there are others who can do it but it's not like a standard metric for being good at the game

[woven spire]

Can we count Drspectred as a normal human being or something thats beyond tho?

[hexed estuary]

good point

[white zodiac]

even he said it's not a deck you can consistently win with had you watched his recent black deck videos and some other recents

he avoids those seed suggestions for the most part as he said

[hexed estuary]

point being: a 50%+ winrate on black/gold is an insane achievement and not something people should judge themselves based on

[reef flint]

I broke balatro…

[woven spire]

i know that seed

mr bones bug

[white zodiac]

as they fall short through favoring suboptimal decision making in the moment

[reef flint]

Whats your highscore on it

[white zodiac]

where did he say that

[stark karma]

How the hell did you win with pairs on gold stake????

How????

[woven spire]

i hopw you did it on a new profile because that fucks up your stats

[reef flint]

I got student loans worth of debt

[reef flint]

I sure did

[woven spire]

never tried it tbf

[buoyant ridge]

everything rng

[white zodiac]

when the most versatile poker hand is versatile

[austere rain]

Average black/gold win (idk why I took the hieroglyph)

[reef flint]

Set it to 0.5 speed for best results

[hexed estuary]

i dont even know what his winrate is, but Mickel was saying he's down on himself due to not having a "consistent" winrate on black/gold. I'm just saying that a high black/gold winrate is exceedingly rare and shouldn't be expected with 500 hours

[woven spire]

thats evil

[reef flint]

That was literally over 2 hours and it cluld have gone further but my phone died when charging

[woven spire]

look at stats tho

[hexed estuary]

i think my first black/gold win was a baseball card run loll

[white zodiac]

so you just made up a random statistic

[woven spire]

kinda funny

[white zodiac]

same

[reef flint]

Oh no i have

[white zodiac]

prob

[reef flint]

I have like 1000 uses now

[austere rain]

I just try to belt out black gold when I’m bored or want to suffer lol

[hexed estuary]

you're completely misreading what i'm saying. i was using 50% as an example of what a "consistent" winrate might mean since Mickel wasn't very specific.

[woven spire]

lol

[stark karma]

It must be man

[reef flint]

1967 mr bones over 13 runs of it

[woven spire]

crazy

[pale wolf]

new high for me

[woven spire]

balatro is most of the times NOT RNG

[austere rain]

True

It’s only a gambling game when you don’t know how it works

[woven spire]

Thres only a few times that RNG can make u lose

[white zodiac]

#🕹・game-discussion message
that's literally what you said?
implying he wins more than loses on black describes a greater than 50% win rate

[woven spire]

But thats if u made mistakes before

[white zodiac]

you were just high yesterday

[reef flint]

Whats everyones highest debt

[stark karma]

My record grimbo also had vamp

They’re honestly a good team

[woven spire]

ayo

[hexed estuary]

yes... winning more than you lose is what a >50% winrate means. but i'm not sure of his exact numbers

[pale wolf]

every day bro

[austere rain]

Should’ve planned around crimson heart hitting your most important jokers every hand instead of the Chaos or random negative jolly joker

[hexed estuary]

this is such a silly conversation because we literally agreed with each other talking to mickel but whatever lol

[white zodiac]

uhh regular gs maybe

[pale wolf]

i think at this point i could 5 streak blue

[austere rain]

Even Crimson heart RNG can be somewhat negated by having more than 1 good joker but

[pale wolf]

:)

[reef flint]

-1875 for me

[austere rain]

Sometimes crimson heart just hurts

[somber nebula]

🥀

[white zodiac]

#🕹・game-discussion message
so what I said still holds true and I didn't misread?

[white zodiac]

gs?

[reef flint]

Yes

[white zodiac]

holy shit

this is news

got a pic or

i was extremely scoring

[austere rain]

I hit a 2 streak on black but haven’t exactly tried streaking any gold stake runs

[white zodiac]

gs win streak

[reef flint]

Ah

[hexed estuary]

dude we literally agree with each other. all i was saying was that Spectre seems to be consistent at winning black/gold but that doesn't make it a reasonable standard to set for oneself since it's literally his job to play this game.

I feel like you're trying to turn this into an argument for some reason

the >50% is not a statistic but another way of saying "wins more than he loses"

[pale wolf]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[white zodiac]

but why a random number for a consistency argument that a specific deck isnt known for

[opal delta]

hi

[white zodiac]

the hydrogen bomb

[craggy hearth]

Booooo

bum

[smoky merlin]

neat

[pale wolf]

wtf i was entering the code in

[white zodiac]

so much for getting my account compromised

[pale wolf]

stealing the vbucks

for ur self

[craggy hearth]

I stole the code b4 yall could so it wouldn’t matter anywyas

[white zodiac]

[craggy hearth]

Yall too slow to input

[pale wolf]

i play slow

[white zodiac]

oh shoot I left the server that had the 19 dollar fortnite gift card gif

man

[hexed estuary]

it's not a random number nor is it a statistic. it's another way of saying "wins more than he loses."

I didn't say he had a 50% winrate, but that being "consistent" would mean winning more than you lose, i.e. winning more than half of the time, i.e. >50% of the time. I don't know if this is a language barrier issue or something or if you just can't understand what that means for a different reason but i'm done with this convo

[white zodiac]

oop

[hexed estuary]

the important thing being the greater than or plus symbol

[white zodiac]

u can't really put a number for a consistent win rate on black deck

[pale wolf]

i dont know what the difference is between winning more than half the time and having a 50+% winrate

it sounds identical

[hexed estuary]

there is not a difference, that's what i'm saying.

they are different ways to say the same thing

[white zodiac]

im pretty decent at decision making from my own play testing and I can't confidently see good players exceed a 50% let alone 40% wr on average black gs

[pale wolf]

i guess if the spectrum of max consistency to min consistency is 100% to 0% then, at 50% winrate you are more consistent than inconsistent

[woven spire]

Chat do we take it?

[hexed estuary]

yes i agree. that's my point

[solid plover]

I have almost never felt more powerful than this

[solid rock]

I'd say 0% win rate is also pretty consistent

[pale wolf]

save jt

[white zodiac]

4 missed calls from isaac newton

[woven spire]

its a pack lol

[pale wolf]

yea if 0% is consistent then 50% is the least consistent there si

[hexed estuary]

my point is that a win rate higher than 50% (AKA consistent wins, AKA winning more than losing) is extremely difficult to achieve on black/gold

[woven spire]

actually i coul hermit and fool

[pale wolf]

prove it

win less than 50% of ur games

[white zodiac]

fr

[hexed estuary]

that's a tall order buddy id have to nerf myself hard

(jk)

[white zodiac]

no don't do that

you're too perfect ahaha

[hexed estuary]

im super rusty since i took a break after getting C++

my beloved

[solid plover]

ante 2 wombo combo

[hidden lance]

hmm

no mime still

[distant vault]

I fucking hate showman

[opal delta]

hi

[winged remnant]

what is the 1 card mod

[marsh needle]

Sure bro why not

[pale wolf]

fake?

[shell dagger]

real

[pale wolf]

im not so sure

[wary flicker]

looks sick actually

[pale wolf]

oh boy

rebate campfire and it doesnt even take a slot

[hidden lance]

lol

[naive cove]

What strategies should I do to attempt gold stake with black deck? I saved the worst for last with my completionist++ quest

[warped moth]

Honestly? I genuinely don't know

Good luck

[naive cove]

Sweet Jesus.

[dry sail]

I just used a death card on cerulean bell and it didn't forcefully select both cards. Is that a bug?

[wary flicker]

my advice would be

dont do it

lol

[stark karma]

my kingdom for a mime

[stark karma]

pairs bro

[vale wharf]

I love spare trousers

[stark karma]

good econ

[naive cove]

I used pairs to win gold stake with all the other decks

[stark karma]

survive the first 2 antes lmao

[naive cove]

but black deck is just

fuck

[warped moth]

That certainly isn't what usually happens soo

Yeah bug probably?

Idk

[naive cove]

maybe the real strat for black deck is to wait for the title update and hope it gets changed to be easier

[warped moth]

Yeah honestly
Once you find a run that survives early game, hold onto it and give it your best shot

[shell dagger]

the strategies to employ are just the fundamentals but with much more focus on finding score early and less focus on hitting interest cap

[last bolt]

am i fucked

[shell dagger]

you won’t get close on every seed

[naive cove]

I wonder if I should skip some rounds in ante 1 and hope for a good poly or rare joker drop for black deck runs.

[warped moth]

I wouldn't

[naive cove]

if I die, then I die fast

[shell dagger]

investment

but also

ante 1 big blind is hard with only 3 hands

[naive cove]

the entire game is hard with only 3 hands

[warped moth]

Even for investment, I don't think skipping for cash is more worth than the potential of finding a mult joker on black deck
I guess it depends on how you play the game though? Generally speaking I just don't skip ever

[last bolt]

hi

ik stakes aren't that visible but yeah

Hopefully i pull off something like this on gold

[white zodiac]

oh

[pale wolf]

almost didnt do balatrodle today... phew
spoilers in 3

[pale wolf]

just play the flushb

[white zodiac]

yeah

[digital star]

What’s the smart choice here?

[opal delta]

can I play previous balatrodles

[digital star]

Do I take the mime and get rid of the idol or keep?

[shell dagger]

Get rid of idol

[woven spire]

sell idol

[digital star]

Hmmm ok, trusting you on this

[brave goblet]

sell baron so mime can give you blue seals which empower your idolphotochad

[digital star]

I have a single steel card and no gold cards

[woven spire]

how many kings?

[digital star]

5 kings at the moment

[brave goblet]

ong

what does your deck look like

[digital star]

Have not found any money making jokers

And lucky cards have not triggered

[shell dagger]

You just found mime

A money maker

[woven spire]

i honestly think baron mime is the safest option here

[digital star]

Yeah but no gold cards yet

[digital star]

Aight killing the idol, sorry friend

[woven spire]

you need that blue seal on high card in every round tho

[digital star]

Bigger question is do I immolate?

[shell dagger]

yea

[woven spire]

yes

only one king

[digital star]

With my lick it will get every face card

[brave goblet]

most likely

[woven spire]

probably

[digital star]

Killed both my red king and queen but left the club queen alive

[pale wolf]

[woven spire]

[pale wolf]

when

[woven spire]

fym when

[pale wolf]

when do you think it should happen

[woven spire]

yesterday

[pale wolf]

[pale wolf]

blue deck time

[woven spire]

[pale wolf]

cursed rental gameplay

[brave goblet]

hope the rebate pulls through

[woven spire]

is odd that valuable to take it as eternal rental?

[brave goblet]

chips are chips

huge safety net for bussin

[woven spire]

fair

need that rebate to clucth lol

[brave goblet]

5 hands on blue coming in clutch

[woven spire]

Blue deck such a cutie patootie

[digital star]

Tempted by the bloodstone even though it is the wrong play

[woven spire]

What the fuck happenend

Oh anaglyph

[digital star]

Deck fixing mostly

[woven spire]

No gold cards yet?

[digital star]

None

Haven’t seen a single one

[woven spire]

[brave goblet]

:concern

[opal delta]

😔

[woven spire]

[opal delta]

[digital star]

Rolling down from 109

Baller spending

[last path]

first gold stake win of mobile

[woven spire]

how did we even get to 100 without gold cards

[brave goblet]

crazy first two jokers there

[digital star]

Very good lucky cards

[brave goblet]

lucky procs lol

I love chad lucky

[digital star]

Lucky cards are my addiction

[woven spire]

I love oops lucky

[brave goblet]

Don't even need oops when you got retriggers ngl

[woven spire]

gambling

[digital star]

Welcome back idol

[woven spire]

oops+bloodstone+lucky cat/cards+sock my buskin

[last path]

actually lustful was way later. after vagabond served it's purpose

[brave goblet]

still dies in ante 13

Oh nice

[woven spire]

One of my favs setups

[digital star]

Oops is good deck fixing but you have to get rid of it for the slot late game also to use glass cards

[brave goblet]

just have some steels on hand isntead 🧠

[digital star]

It loses it’s use around e25

[brave goblet]

oh going into endless lol

[digital star]

Yeah I love my boy bloodstone but it does not scale

[woven spire]

I hate the idol.

[brave goblet]

I kinda like the idol, it's funny when it works

[distant vault]

Wtf is this

[digital star]

Idol goated when you double bean into ouija

[woven spire]

yeah, but when i have a PERFECT deck it wont show up, but always shows up in first 3 antes

[vocal rose]

you need sigil too

[woven spire]

Just ragebaiting me

[brave goblet]

you can get a hexed family and a poly glutty too!

[brave goblet]

make money to reroll for it

[woven spire]

Thats a buffon pack!

[wary flicker]

rental gluttonous joker tho

[brave goblet]

simply score in one hand to pay off the rental fee

[distant vault]

Shits ass

[woven spire]

Last time i was looking for it i wasted 1000 bucks

[brave goblet]

damn

[distant vault]

Rental

[digital star]

Aces are my least favourite card

Just sucks ass

[brave goblet]

but consider, grim immediately adds aces

[woven spire]

and he didnt show up

[brave goblet]

the only spectral that gives a guaranteed rank

[wary flicker]

aces good with scholar and fibo

[digital star]

Grim is awful

[wary flicker]

but like

e

[brave goblet]

I used $2k once to try to find a luchador

[woven spire]

theres no jokers for 7

at least u got scholar

for aces

[brave goblet]

you got todd for 7

[woven spire]

more specific jokers

like walkie talkie

[brave goblet]

odd's specific for odd cards

[pale wolf]

i pivoted

[brave goblet]

$95 W

[pale wolf]

i needed scoring of some kind so

continuing the run was better than not

[digital star]

Takes multiple strengths to use a retrigger on it without dusk, doesn’t have dedicated cards that give it times mult.

[pale wolf]

and odd todd is very plenty of chips tbh

[digital star]

Also nothing for money making with it

Just hate aces so so much

[brave goblet]

make them into diamonds and rough gem them

grim can give you lucky or gold ones to make money with

[woven spire]

i hate rough gem

idek why

i just do

[digital star]

Rough gem is like the worst money making joker in the game

[brave goblet]

rough gem is the best of the four uncommon suit jonkers

[digital star]

Basically everything else earns more

[pale wolf]

LOL

[digital star]

Cap

[pale wolf]

WHAT

what is Going On

[brave goblet]

think about it, it's the only one that makes you money to make you more diamonds

and that means more scoring and more money

[digital star]

1 dollar is garbage and takes away scoring potential with other suits

[brave goblet]

$1 is the difference between compounding interest

[digital star]

At least hallucinating allows for money and deck fixing

[pale wolf]

when you have minimum $5 per round pre interest it adds up, it makes flushes nearly worth

[digital star]

It should be better for an uncommon

[pale wolf]

and it definitely helps early on

[woven spire]

worst econ is rebate.

[brave goblet]

you don't even really need to do flushes with rough gem if you got some retriggers

[digital star]

400 per round is not bad lol

Crazy talk

[woven spire]

how does one make 400 a round with rebate

[digital star]

Blueprint

[distant vault]

Im dying

Slowly

😪

[digital star]

Copy rebate with merrygo round

[brave goblet]

hey that was basically my cruelty build lmao

[distant vault]

Im trying my best

[brave goblet]

madness got your back, trust

[woven spire]

Theres an eternal halfsies in next shop

trust

[terse vale]

crazy deckfixing and copying

and maybe wasteful

[terse vale]

ok what

no lol

[digital star]

Among all jokers i’ve made money with it is the worst

[brave goblet]

balatro's been out for years and people still got the craziest takes on it

[terse vale]

you’re saying that matadors better

[digital star]

Even the boss blind one makes 50 per boss

[brave goblet]

Matador is great, situationally

[terse vale]

50????

[digital star]

Yeah 50

[brave goblet]

Like todo list, matador is a make money quick in one round and then dump it

[terse vale]

per boss????????

[hearty tundra]

• plays ancient deck
• first 4 available jokers are all face card only

[digital star]

Per boss with the right setup, without copying

[terse vale]

[hearty tundra]

Fastest run ive ever had

[woven spire]

Can we PLEASE not count copy jokers when we say what an econ joker can do at max

[digital star]

Copy matters

[terse vale]

doesn’t do anything for like 2/3s of the ante if you’re lucky, and sometimes the boss blind is just tense so you can’t use it to its full potential

Like listen I love a matador ante one on a suit blind

but lets not get ahead of ourselves

[woven spire]

ofc it do, but we talking abt a joker not a joker+ a bp

[pale wolf]

you can when the initial econ is so powerful you end up with better jokers more often

[woven spire]

fair

[digital star]

Some econ jokers like 6th sense can’t copy so it does matter for niche situations

[terse vale]

well if it CAN be copied then i’d say its a plus

[digital star]

Same with dice that can’t be copied

[pale wolf]

that too

[pale wolf]

6th sense isn't an econ joker lol

[hearty tundra]

Top 10 worst things to ever happen just happened to me

[distant vault]

Still going

Not holding out hope

[digital star]

It is, just use it right

[hearty tundra]

Got canio while playing ancient

from a few days ago

[terse vale]

people say its a value generator not econ

[brave goblet]

did you ever find the cloud 9 on that one lol

[woven spire]

how can u use right a joker that you need a very specific thing to trigger it

[digital star]

With perkio you can force both deck fixing and money combined with a dna

[solid tartan]

Man i hate this game sometimes

[digital star]

Just force it to immolate every time

[woven spire]

force it?

[digital star]

Takes about two rounds but with a perkio it procs every time

[digital star]

Yeah you can force both tarot cards and 6th sense using negatives

[terse vale]

this is a very very specific situation tbf

[woven spire]

Yeah, not an econ joker.

[pale wolf]

nah and i wouldnt have had room for it

[digital star]

All how you use it that matters

[bleak seal]

Just lost a perkeo run with acrobat ...
I forgot it was black deck and farmed a lil too hard

Rip

[brave goblet]

sad but speculative 9s are great

[pale wolf]

wasnt gonna kill brainstorm or campfire or rebate for c9

[terse vale]

again tho 6th sense is a value generator

[brave goblet]

eyes on the prize (money)

[woven spire]

"just point the 6th sense with a gun and hell give u immolate"

[digital star]

People need to expand what they see as econ jokers

[distant vault]

NOOO

GOLDEN JOKER WHYY

[brave goblet]

kek U

clearly sell madness 🧠

[distant vault]

I don't need him.

I will win

Golden joker my beloved

[opal delta]

golden joker…

[terse vale]

❤️

[digital star]

Might be one of the worst joker setups i’ve seen so far

[brave goblet]

how so

[digital star]

Hallucination is pulling his weight hard there

[distant vault]

Its what I was given man...

[pale wolf]

i am fucking crying

[terse vale]

good base mult, amazing Xmult, and what I am 99% sure is chips in planet levels

[digital star]

Balatro giveth and taketh

[distant vault]

Hallucination is giving me tarot for fortune

[terse vale]

well actually red card is amazing base mult

[pale wolf]

not actually

[terse vale]

so

[white zodiac]

the runs play itself

[digital star]

I would do jokerless before picking a red card

[terse vale]

I guess replace brainstorm with blueprint and sell hallu?

[distant vault]

Let's see what the worst joker setup does here

[digital star]

I don’t have to take this from a homestuck fan lmao

[distant vault]

NOOOO

[brave goblet]

rip

[distant vault]

FUUU

Let's see

[brave goblet]

did it take 3 hands just to get 500k

[white zodiac]

best of both worlds

[digital star]

Insane aura

[pale wolf]

the best priestess of all time

[white zodiac]

hm I wonder if me bribing ppl with nitro gift will make it so that ppl would be down to try my challenge recommendations

[pale wolf]

yea, its ideal bc brainstorm wouldve kinda sucked with campfire

[distant vault]

I did what I can

I am ready

[terse vale]

i’m the evil problematic homestuck fan. Yes I use tumbr. Yes i’m a white theatre kid. Yes I make cringey and lowkey prejudice comments about things. Yes I also thirst over numerous characters that have no business being anywhere near a hear me out tierlist, such as ultimate dirk.

[brave goblet]

hope the glass cards pull through

unless you haven't been leveling planets

[distant vault]

Familiar for emergency

[brave goblet]

W

inb4 all gold cards

[distant vault]

Fortune teller will not let me down

[terse vale]

bro my discord is glitching

[distant vault]

We don't need brainstorm.

[brave goblet]

W

what was the final hand

[distant vault]

No idea

[dapper orchid]

frfr

[distant vault]

Like 400k

[brave goblet]

[distant vault]

My goats

[shell dagger]

brainrot, i read that message and functions came to mind first

[jagged valve]

Hmm?

Playing Flush House

[shell dagger]

get rid of lucky cat most likely

what is it at

[jagged valve]

A lot of lucky tho

Like x15

I had already replaced a bs with it before

[shell dagger]

brainstorm copying bloodstone is an extra 57.7x

[dapper orchid]

its just x15

[shell dagger]

assuming all are faces

with red seals that becomes 438x mult

[jagged valve]

Damn I didn't know Lucky Cat was Mid

In this case

[jagged valve]

Blue seals on mine

No Deja Vu yet

[white zodiac]

x mult vs ^ mult

[distant vault]

Damn

[terse vale]

ohh peak

[umbral snow]

[distant vault]

Let's hope I don't die

Another fortune teller run??

[shell dagger]

[distant vault]

Bro rebate and stm are dead

[distant vault]

Yeah true

[pale wolf]

spaceman + grabar

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 4 beacuse i can't count

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 3

[pale wolf]

lmfao

missing on the word hint 😭

[distant vault]

Bro again

We have stabalized

[opal pine]

I hate this, I have just not enough to buy both

[visual arch]

With a full hand of Red Seal Steel Kings, Mime, Baron, Baron, Blueprint, Brainstorm, my highest scored hand was e51. Neat!

[vocal rose]

both what?

all you need is that wrathful

[opal pine]

the voucher and the joker

[vocal rose]

u dont need the voucher that badly

[pale wolf]

both of what

[vocal rose]

wrathful go next and save until you get interest cap

[pale wolf]

oh the voucher? lol not important

[distant vault]

How do I always win with the stupidest setups

[pale wolf]

thats a mighty wrathful

[minor portal]

space joker carried

[distant vault]

No

He worked like 3 times

[opal delta]

you dont need the voucher

[pale wolf]

was idol really the best uncommon you came across

😭

[distant vault]

Yes thats the only reasons its there

[minor portal]

he did more than he ever needed to

[distant vault]

Idol with the x1.5 mult

[opal delta]

😭

[distant vault]

Wins a win

😎

Fortune teller carrying again

[opal delta]

hologram carried once again

I love doing black stake runs

[pale wolf]

hologoat

[visual arch]

I love fortune teller it's my top used joker

[pale wolf]

deckbloatgoat

[regal cobalt]

remind me to never skip a blind for a negative tag ever again

[signal frigate]

I honestly don't see anything wrong here

[pale wolf]

purple joker sux sry

[signal frigate]

BBC is just a really good joker

[pale wolf]

not the worst it couldve been

[signal frigate]

At least it's Jimmy, this is why I tell people to never skip

[distant vault]

It was rough except the last 2 antes

[pale wolf]

yea its fine

the build

[distant vault]

Bbc came in like ante 7

So the build was on life support

[pale wolf]

purple joker needs purple seals to function properly imo, or a dedicated tarot gen

[distant vault]

It was fine without it

Just enough

[serene forge]

clearance sale is like the definition of mid

[serene forge]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[signal frigate]

I think the only thing wrong here is the Idol

[visual arch]

I have C++. just sayin:

Fortune Teller goated

[distant vault]

Its not wrong if its the only uncommon I found

[signal frigate]

It's kind of underrated isn't it?

[serene forge]

no

[regal cobalt]

they think ts a handout bro

[distant vault]

Ox sent me to $0

[regal cobalt]

i lowkey risked my whole run

[signal frigate]

You had Space and Trading

[pale wolf]

this tells a tale many attempts 🤪

[distant vault]

I mean after finding bbc

[signal frigate]

My stats are always all over the place

[visual arch]

i mean yeah, welcome to gold stake

[distant vault]

Space joker doing nothing the whole run

[visual arch]

i didn't realize the importance of gold cards for a while

[pale wolf]

over time purple joker should not be carrying a signficant portion of your runs tbh

[visual arch]

purple?

[opal delta]

this is my current mobile progress but sadly itll be gone soon

[distant vault]

Well no but I just play til ante 8

Its good enough for 8

[pale wolf]

yea the guy that scales from tarot cards

with a turban

[regal cobalt]

this is lowkey weird to me

[distant vault]

🔥

[serene forge]

I hate Fortune Teller

[signal frigate]

What is this "Purple Joker" were talking about?

[distant vault]

Im sorry but endless is boring

[regal cobalt]

its like you only play minecraft until you beat the ender dragon

[pale wolf]

i just sajd

[opal delta]

I hate bloodstone

[pale wolf]

the tarot purple man

[signal frigate]

The most white stake response I've ever seen

[signal frigate]

Oh, Fortune Teller

I'm dumb

[signal frigate]

The game isn't balanced around Endless

[regal cobalt]

pluh

[distant vault]

I love fortune teller

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone forgives your sins

[distant vault]

I said it

[signal frigate]

The difference is Minecraft is a fucking sandbox

[serene forge]

me too!!!!!

[visual arch]

after C++, white stake feels like a sandbox lol

[pale wolf]

except that Minecraft has unlimited creativity into infinity and balatro has rapidly diminishing options that are viable

[tranquil steppe]

Sounds erotic

[signal frigate]

Balatro allows you to go Endless but the end goal will always be Ante 8

[serene forge]

@hybrid tendon

[opal delta]

[distant vault]

Endless fucking sucks

[signal frigate]

And when you have several stake difficulties

Going endless is just a waste of time

I just wanna end a run and move on to the next stake

[crude apex]

I just like making silly little combos

[tacit stream]

me on my run that reached ante 15 on gold stake:

[hybrid tendon]

I love fork

[signal frigate]

I've done that shit 3 times and aye

[serene forge]

i love youuuuu

[signal frigate]

Try your hand at Stake climbing

[visual arch]

done what 3 times

[regal cobalt]

i did

only on ghost deck though

[signal frigate]

Completionist++

[regal cobalt]

right now im still trying to unlock every stake on every deck

[signal frigate]

Do it on every deck, it's more fun than you realise

[regal cobalt]

honestly i kinda disagree

[serene forge]

mfw a 1600 hangs a piece on move 6

[signal frigate]

That's fair though, everyone plays differently

[regal cobalt]

but its just because im ass at the game

[signal frigate]

You get better the more you play

Which is fuckin hilarious to me because steam fucks with my playtime

I should have 400 hours by now, what is this?

[regal cobalt]

should you really though

[signal frigate]

This was 300 hours before

[regal cobalt]

🤔

[signal frigate]

It keeps reverting between 200 and 100

I have another screenshot that says 200

[jagged valve]

😭?

[amber forge]

Crimson Heart kept going back and forth between my 50+ green joker and blackboard, it was a burglar build too and had 10 hands lol

[jagged valve]

Dang

[signal frigate]

Here's one, this fucking pisses me off

But also funni Steam Background

[sand lily]

Swashbuckler + egg is so goated

[signal frigate]

I don't know why it keeps doing this

It might be Modded

[grim thunder]

It's been a while since I've played a gold stake run with a Baron build
