[sleek shore]

It’s a lie

[lunar zealot]

ante 8 gold stake

[inland helm]

ohhhhh

ok that makes more sense LOL

[lunar zealot]

Are you like fucking stupid or doing an unfunny bit

[sleek shore]

Why is bro addicted to lying

[frank grove]

obelisk is just kinda annoying

[lunar zealot]

i'm also not a bro

so kindly stay in your lane from now on

[frank grove]

its micromanaging hands played but its very good

[lunar zealot]

I mean you need around 12 pairs

[sleek shore]

I am telling the truth

[lunar zealot]

14 is the recommended amount

[frank grove]

yeah

[lunar zealot]

16 and above is kind of overkill

[frank grove]

its a great joker

[lunar zealot]

You joined this server today cuz your main got banned?

gee i wonder why

[sleek shore]

Yeah I totally got banned and this is my alt

[lunar zealot]

i really can't be assed with unfunny jokes

[quartz ember]

🪝 🐟

[inland helm]

wow the silly card game discord is getting HEATED

[frank grove]

😭

[lunar zealot]

at least if they were funny i'd like em

[frank grove]

whats everyones favorite jokers

[lunar zealot]

they already said something transphobic i'm just waiting for them to shout slurs and get banned

#theusualsuspects

[sleek shore]

Ride the bus

[inland helm]

i like chad 😋

[lunar zealot]

Ask me about baseball card

[frank grove]

idk what mine is, i really like square, burnt is pretty nice, seance is very fun

[inland helm]

burnt is pretty goated

[lunar zealot]

seance is a joker that exists

[frank grove]

i dont like const.

[quartz ember]

I like a big wee the most

[inland helm]

hell yeah

[lunar zealot]

It's nice that the esoteric jokers tend to be uncommon

[opaque kindle]

Guys I just got my last gold sticker and I didn’t get the Game Center achievement, help

[lunar zealot]

so even something like idol or showman is still gonna give x1.5 mult

[frank grove]

true

seance is very fun, copyable, good with other uncommons

[inland helm]

congrats man, idk abt the achievement though 😅

[frank grove]

surely you, of all people, should be a seance head, almost everything wanted for a great seance build goes very well with baseball

[lunar zealot]

Seance is a joker that exists

[hardy fable]

me can't win anymore

[sleek shore]

Seance creates a spectral card when a straight flush is played

[frank grove]

with four fingies or shortcut, or both and baseball, it goes crazy

[inland helm]

true!

[lunar zealot]

Seance is a joker that exists

[opaque kindle]

This is my first game after getting C++ lol

[frank grove]

the spectrals do eventually end up being not super useful

[quaint stag]

seance should also apply to straights tbh because the payoff is too small for how obscure getting a straight flush is

[lunar zealot]

buy chad hex ankh buy photo

[opaque kindle]

Exactly what I did

[lunar zealot]

good boy

[inland helm]

[frank grove]

checkered deck, abandoned or even just a suit changer makes seance online fast

[lunar zealot]

funniest reaction image possible ngl

[sleek shore]

Finally being able to play optimally

[jagged valve]

Not quite peakmost

[inland helm]

ty vro 🧡

i try

[quaint stag]

potentially a stupid take but apart from obviously soul and blackhole the only spectral card i'd willingly pick up every time i see it is cryptid because the others are fairly niche

wraith can be useful if you're flat broke

the econ could be nice

[frank grove]

whoa

[lunar zealot]

Seance is a joker that exists

[frank grove]

thats a take

trance is goat

[lunar zealot]

you could definitely high roll immolate trance medium talisman

[inland helm]

if you dont like it just say it lol youve said this like 6 times

[lunar zealot]

midroll cryptid wraith

[quaint stag]

oh and immolate

i forgot immolate existed for a second

[lunar zealot]

or get fucking ouija

[lunar zealot]

I don't not like it

But i don't not not like it

It's an uncommon

[frank grove]

its a fun joker

[inland helm]

[lunar zealot]

and it's easy to proc if you have the money to fish for suit tarots

Other than that it's just sixth sense but worse

[frank grove]

or even just a single sigil

if on ghost

[lunar zealot]

rather suit tarot

[frank grove]

yeah

so you can choose

[lunar zealot]

sun/moon/world/star is easier to come by

[frank grove]

yeah

[lunar zealot]

But like

Seance is a joker that exists

I would replace it fast if i had the option to

It's not terrible

not like actively detrimental

Certainly not good

Heavens no it's like B tier

In the sense that it cannot be higher than B tier

[frank grove]

i love taking seance to ante 8 boss even if i dont use the spectrals i just think straight flushes are a fun hand to play towards sometimes

[lunar zealot]

But like it's fffffffine it's a joker

Definitely kind of unusable consistently if you're on blue stake and up

[frank grove]

sometimes i like a small break from pairs

[lunar zealot]

needs serious deckfixing or suit tarots in that case

[sleek shore]

I can’t not play pairs

[lunar zealot]

and if you're deckfixed what's the point of spectrals then

[sleek shore]

It’s not possible

[inland helm]

bro is pair coded

[lunar zealot]

which is kind of the main flaw of seance imo

[sleek shore]

Gold stake changed me as a person

[inland helm]

lol

[lunar zealot]

then again suit tarots work fine

It's just a mess man

[frank grove]

yeah i get that

[lunar zealot]

seance's best use case is x1.5 mult to bbc

and that's kind of the case for a good amount of uncommons

[frank grove]

i just find straight flushes a really unplayed yet fun hand to play towards

[lunar zealot]

Strushes are a hand that exists

they're fun but like

[sleek shore]

Royal flush deck fixing goated

[lunar zealot]

They're the kind of hand you play when you're bored as fuck

which isn't a bad thing

Everyone has tried a strush run

[winged vault]

fucking hate x-ray

fuck this challenge

[sleek shore]

Try blast off

[lunar zealot]

on EVERYONE'S soul we have all tried a strush run before

[sleek shore]

I haven’t yet

Probably will never try it

[frank grove]

i am a seance enjoyer so i obv have

[bleak hemlock]

yes

[lunar zealot]

find andrew merrington

[lunar zealot]

It's a hand

got good +mult scaling

[frank grove]

blast off is kinda easy ish

[lunar zealot]

same as flhouse

[sleek shore]

It was annoying as hell

[lunar zealot]

It's certainly a hand

[frank grove]

it can be hard to find jokers on blast off

[winged vault]

I'm not playing x-ray man

[sleek shore]

Jokerless was fun but blast off genuinely pissed me off

[winged vault]

fuck that challenge

[sleek shore]

And golden needle is also ass

[frank grove]

oh, fuck golden needle

[sleek shore]

Golden needle was the last one I won

[lunar zealot]

If you think about it challenges are just white stake runs but bullshit

[sleek shore]

Got ante 1 soul so cruelty wasn’t bad

[royal bobcat]

jokerless is fun!

[rancid niche]

Two more decks folks

[royal bobcat]

!!

[bleak hemlock]

god i love how fast rick grows

[frank grove]

rick!

[sleek shore]

I got 2.8M score in my jokerless run

[royal bobcat]

jokerless is a really good and interesting challenge!!

[lunar zealot]

Where is matrimonied andriculas

[frank grove]

yeah

[lunar zealot]

The merriest of andreriests

[royal bobcat]

(the only one)

[lunar zealot]

Mary had a little drew

(an)

[bleak hemlock]

in my bed

[lunar zealot]

She merry on my andy till i +3 discards?

[inland helm]

is it just me or does your screen look dim

[frank grove]

yeah

dim

[sleek shore]

Idk what’s with the screen recording

[lunar zealot]

Sorry my fault

[inland helm]

bro turned down the brightness

no more vision for you

[sleek shore]

Brightness doesn’t affect the screen recording

It’s something else

[inland helm]

ik but it looks like its lower brightness lol

[sleek shore]

Anyways the stats of the run

[cosmic sun]

you may have shitty windows hdr on

[royal bobcat]

3/10 for participation

[cosmic sun]

just a hunch

[sleek shore]

I’m on iOS

[frank grove]

maybe its weird iOS trying to screen rec in hdr?

[sleek shore]

Oh yeah I have it set to hdr

My screen recording always looked like shit

This might be the cause

[frank grove]

yeah

[sleek shore]

Oh yes that fixed everything

[inland helm]

[sleek shore]

Thanks

[hazy epoch]

she photo on my jack till i mult

[inland helm]

she hang on my chad till i retrigger

[frank grove]

she jack on my road till i exMULT

[twin lantern]

So I decided to try Balatros alcoholic cousin Cloverpit... I'm addicted to both games

[inland helm]

i know what will get you out of that addiction

REAL gambling!

(i am legally obligated to say that this is a joke)

[sleek shore]

real gambling more like poo poo stinky

[frank grove]

• • not financial advice*

what

[inland helm]

lol

[frank grove]

ok

[inland helm]

how tf you double bullet

[frank grove]

double star with space

• • • hi

lmao

[inland helm]

• • like this

oh what

i didnt know that was a thing

• • • • • neat

[frank grove]

me neither

[inland helm]

"hey which cards actually matter when i have a photochad build"

• • • • • that one

[sleek shore]

why is gambling normal now

[inland helm]

because gambling is AWESOME

-# im lying btw

[frank grove]

just ripped judgement first shop and its a baron

[inland helm]

yay baron build time

[sleek shore]

baron is a very consistent joker that always provides good scoring

[inland helm]

he wont do much off rip but now youve got somethin to work towards

[frank grove]

yeah

its on gold

im a gold stake only guy

i usually sell the guy but sure i can try to build with him in mind i guess

[inland helm]

i think it could be fun

but its up to you

[frank grove]

and shoot the moon second shop

[inland helm]

😏

[frank grove]

yeah

probably sell ramen for interest

[inland helm]

now you just need reserved pkg and ur golden

[fringe crest]

I JUST BEAT THE COLOR WORDLE IN 10 GUESSS NO WAYYYYYYYYY

[unreal island]

the poly card before the lucky cards 😭

[inland helm]

theres a color wordle

[fringe crest]

yeah

it has almost every single color in the world

https://colordle.ryantanen.com/

[inland helm]

lemme tr this

[sleek shore]

Didnt need to optimize since I already knew my scoring was overkill

[dreamy creek]

[inland helm]

I GOT IT IN 8

[frank grove]

hmmm

[inland helm]

what would you even hex lol the barons already poly

[frank grove]

i got the invis from the buffon that shop

[sleek shore]

hex the blueprint

[frank grove]

also it hit baron

[fringe crest]

nuh uh

show me your answers

[inland helm]

i led with orange (my fav color)

[fringe crest]

dawg ok

i guess im just horriblee at everything

[stark karma]

If you have telescope showman makes celestial packs twice as good

[inland helm]

no i just got crazy lucky 😭

[hollow crown]

What should i do for red deck green stake

[inland helm]

whatever youre given i guess? lol

its hard to decide before a run starts what you want to do for a build. its possible but its usually easier to decide mid run

[inland helm]

prime example, argil hit a baron shop 1 and is building around that

(mostly just because i said they should lol)

[frank grove]

no mime yet but got blueprint

[south palm]

Chat

Do i take photocard

[bleak hemlock]

mmm rick and his 8 inches

[jade arch]

Where'd the blueprint go?

[bleak hemlock]

i eated her

[south palm]

I took it

[bleak hemlock]

😋

[south palm]

Do i take the hearts 1.5x

[jade arch]

I mean where should it go lol

[terse vale]

no

?? wait whyd you replace ancient

[south palm]

I have lots of hearts

[green bronze]

do i sell chad for photo

[terse vale]

why

[south palm]

Yes

♥️

[terse vale]

i’d take it over matador I guess

[bleak hemlock]

i wouldnt

[shell dagger]

yes

[austere rain]

I love hologram

[barren wigeon]

she magdalena on my bay at a frequent pace

[dry jasper]

best round so far 🥹

[twin lantern]

Nah just at color wordle

[twin lantern]

Get needled

[dry jasper]

i switched from extra big blind to needle
knew i messed up

at least it went well

[twin lantern]

Glass should be last here

[fringe crest]

hi vagabond

i havent seen you in a while

[dry jasper]

yea for some reason the whole game i thought i had photograph
even tho i didnt

i usually put them on the right but idk what the hell i was doing that game

[fringe crest]

i love my binky.jpeg file

broooo every server im in isnt active wahhhh im boredddd

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[fringe crest]

do you have a bot

[serene forge]

weakest madness run

[serene forge]

no im really bad at programming

[fringe crest]

yeah get someone else to do it

also

[serene forge]

im broke

[fringe crest]

stop not censoring it

[serene forge]

true

[fringe crest]

you cant be spamming bl**dstone

[somber geode]

damn this decision is kinda tough

[wary flicker]

no

immolate

[somber geode]

do I wanna hex my rtb or get 20 dollars

[wary flicker]

oh

wait

you have a lot of money hmm

idk

[serene forge]

that is tough indeed

I hex here ngl

[white zodiac]

uhh

[plucky shuttle]

its always immolate - Roffle

[somber geode]

but then rtb would be tougher to scale but then it would be easier to win

[serene forge]

how much is bus at

[somber geode]

19

[serene forge]

hmmmmm

[wary flicker]

tougher to scale but you reaally only need it at 50 tho

[serene forge]

yeah tough decision

I dunno

[wary flicker]

you dont need the rough gem much tho

[somber geode]

rtb is just better green joker here

[wary flicker]

rtb is always better green joker

lol

[somber geode]

nah I like face cards

[wary flicker]

I like discarding more

[somber geode]

my favorite joker is

burglar

[wary flicker]

very nice joker

great with scalers

[somber geode]

me like burglar green joker

[fringe crest]

my favorite joker is uhh

[wary flicker]

my favorite joker might just be dagger lol

[fringe crest]

lusty joker

i love lusty joker

[wary flicker]

no way I wouldve never guessed that

[fringe crest]

what would you have guessed

[wary flicker]

bloodstone

[fringe crest]

NONONONONONO

I HATE THOSE DIRTY BL**DSTONES

[somber geode]

ok but 20 dollars and potentially lose my diamonds or hex and lose my rg and potentially scale less over time

or skip and die

[fringe crest]

skip and die

only correct answer

[wary flicker]

you wont need the diamonds as much if you have 58 bucks tbh

[somber geode]

but I'm already at 38 and don't need much more money

I think I genuinely should hex here

[wary flicker]

yh

agreed

[neat ore]

Legendary joker idea! Gains plus 15 mult for every hand you play!!

[wary flicker]

Legendary joker idea! win immediately

actually cool concept would be

to save as many hands as possible

and that would stack mult

[somber geode]

common joker idea: delete boss blinds from the game. permanently. evicts chicot from souls

[wary flicker]

do we think we will get a new legendary tho

[neat ore]

That's a idea

[white zodiac]

you need more jokers atp where money is the given bail out for high rolling shops

[obsidian patrol]

Why did you hit charlie

[neat ore]

He's a banana

[opal pine]

nice run

[terse vale]

maybe for every hand remaining

just 2 be different

[wary flicker]

yh I think itd be cool

[terse vale]

and mayb lower the numbr

[wary flicker]

to have a joker abt remaingng hands

[neat ore]

That's a much better idea

[wary flicker]

obv lower the number

[neat ore]

Why lower?

It's a legendary

[white zodiac]

legendaries aren’t simply here win jokers

[wary flicker]

+15 is kinda nuts tho

[terse vale]

it is

[frank grove]

well.. one kinda is

[surreal spruce]

+mult jokers aren’t very good at high numbers though

[wary flicker]

+15 each round is insane

[surreal spruce]

Like it’s kinda meh

[terse vale]

just 2 hands would be +30 mult for one joker

[wary flicker]

yh one ante with blue deck could be 150

[surreal spruce]

Diminishing returns yada yada da

[wary flicker]

lol

wait not 150

but

90

[neat ore]

How about a legendary that gives you plus 1 chip for every legendary ya have

[white zodiac]

brooke looke

[terse vale]

prolly 6 or 7 mult would work

NOT A JOKE

IM DEADASS

[surreal spruce]

This is so tuff

[white zodiac]

this fucking run made me unlock bloodstone

to achieve this

[heady narwhal]

i mean if you get a +mult to 80 rather than 40 you have to find one fewer xmult later on

[surreal spruce]

I mean yeah but realistically the amount of effort to get to that number is a lot

[white zodiac]

x2 mult without exponential potential

or whatever you call it

[heady narwhal]

the diminishing returns are mostly offset by the saved joker slots

[muted dune]

actually, up to x2m, but your pc will die

[zealous zinc]

is there even room for photo here

i don’t think so

(yes i will copy hallucination)

[barren wigeon]

is aj needed

because i dont feel like AJ is needed

nor do i feel like dusk is needed

[zealous zinc]

well

yes

i’m on ante 7 i will just die

[heavy heron]

🤤

[gilded arch]

rate my joker setup

[wary zodiac]

bro are we deadass

I GOT PERKEO 😭 😭 😭

WTF DO I DO

💔

[eternal lichen]

I just beat zodiac deck gold stake

[wary zodiac]

i need to find mult FAST holy shit

[eternal lichen]

the run kinda had endless mode potential but then died to the plant

[latent egret]

what do you think is the lowest obby stack you could win with on gs with/without skipping a round

[dry remnant]

that's an awfully big wee for my first ever time using it

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[white zodiac]

6 is possible on a seed i’ve already played if i allowed secret hands

[latent egret]

damn ok

[surreal spruce]

Oh hi

[crystal field]

oboler

best joker

[zealous zinc]

hello

[crystal field]

also ive been warming up to the castle more

[zealous zinc]

i’m back on the balator grind

finally

[white zodiac]

3 or 4 is the theoretical lowest given that you have a joker roster that already one shots without obelisk presence

[zealous zinc]

also dandadan still peak !?!?!

[white zodiac]

finally

[crystal field]

ya

[white zodiac]

prob, haven’t watched all of season 2

just the manga

[heavy heron]

well then

kinda funny what tarot tycoon does

[crystal field]

tarot tycoon is awesome

tarotmaxxing just feels good

i shoulda took a screenshot but i won the stupidest run of my life yesterday

blue deck u can win with all the spiderwebs and dust bunnies

[hearty warren]

@surreal spruce

[heavy heron]

i just found this old clip

WHAY IS THIS BRO

LOOLLLL

HOLY CHIPS

and the random ahh mult in the end

i’ve never seen chips fly up that fast in animation

[sleek shore]

That’s it

Try my one billion chips instead

[crystal field]

bbc to the rescue

[willow frost]

how much of that was mult

[sleek shore]

1

[willow frost]

how long did it take to calculate that hand lol

[sleek shore]

Billion second

[hazy epoch]

im having a hard time understanding cerulian bell, does it force me to play a card before i play a hand? or does it switch a card out after i play a hand.

and does it tell me which hand im forced to play?

[shell dagger]

No

[sleek shore]

You know how as soon as you enter the boss fight it auto selects a card for you

[willow frost]

i also leave balatro running for 33 years to play my billion chip hand

[hazy epoch]

there goes my run 😭

[sleek shore]

You cannot deselect that card

[willow frost]

you can make any hand you want, it just has to contain the permaselected card

[hazy epoch]

nvm i did it lol

[willow frost]

gg

[sleek shore]

You can see how a card was instantly selected when I started the fight

[somber geode]

chat 38 dollars from handy skip or play small blind

[latent egret]

context hat

[sleek shore]

Depends

[somber geode]

rtb gold stake

[sleek shore]

If your Econ sucks ass and your scoring is good yeah I’d take it

Otherwise it’s not worth it

[latent egret]

is it your only scaling, do you have seals, what is your value gen if any

[somber geode]

I have

1 blue seal

[zealous zinc]

i just never skip but i also haven’t played in a long time

[somber geode]

and 6 levels in mars

[latent egret]

can you reliably play 4oak

[somber geode]

6-7 aces I don't remember

[sleek shore]

Skipping is so mid

[latent egret]

unless you have like 5 dollars and rentals i woould not skip

[frank grove]

or ante one investment can be good

[zealous zinc]

only time i skip is for rare skip ante 1 in multiplayer

[somber geode]

I have

rtb and foil square joker

that's it

[sleek shore]

Only skip charm tag for the funnies everything else is mid

[somber geode]

that's literally all I've needed

[zealous zinc]

imagine not skipping for a rare tag to get baron

[heavy heron]

it forces one card in your hand at all times, at random

so for example if your hand is

A K Q Q Q 6 4 3

if it force selects the 3, you can still play three of a kind, your hand will just be

Q Q Q 3

or you can discard, but you will be forced to discard that 3 since you can’t deselect it

[sleek shore]

rtb is such a good joker

Imo best +mult joker

It’s the easiest to scale with pairs

[heavy heron]

old clip of me playing while commuting on the bus

LOOLLLL

ahhh.. back in the grind of gold staking every deck

[surreal spruce]

Hamithy

[sleek shore]

Why would you throw your phone in the sea

Are you stupid

[heavy heron]

balatro addiction

[hearty warren]

HI!!!

[surreal spruce]

[heavy heron]

[hearty warren]

[sleek shore]

Mid ancient joker run mine is better

[heavy heron]

[surreal spruce]

[hearty warren]

burmt jonkr

[somber geode]

THE NEGATIVE ETERNAL BURNED JOKER HAUNTS ME

[heavy heron]

2 burnt joker run easy

do it

[surreal spruce]

I did get a hit with one in game

[hazy epoch]

my jokers are full, can i sell a negative to purchase a non negative card

[hearty warren]

they nerfed geist :(

[bleak hemlock]

🫦

[heavy heron]

no

[hazy epoch]

bet

[sleek shore]

That’s it? Try my x1000000 mult instead

[hearty warren]

gonna parry someone and snow their face in for 1 damage

[karmic garnet]

Guys is the plasma deck the easiest to use

[sleek shore]

Plasma deck is the most miserable deck

Even worse than black deck imo

[karmic garnet]

Woah how come

[frank grove]

yeah chips are just so good but kinda hard to find sometimes

[hearty warren]

plasma gold stake be like

[heady narwhal]

purple stake scaling is hard to keep up with

[sleek shore]

Chips are required early game but suck ass late game and xmult are the opposite

You need to pivot so hard to win and it just doesn’t work a lot of the time

[frank grove]

you can win with just chips

[sleek shore]

You can

[hearty warren]

sometimes you don't get the pivot and sometimes you also eat violet vessel

[heady narwhal]

i think plasma is miserable because i can never tell how much my score will change based on the changes i make to my build

[sleek shore]

But most of the time chip scaling alone isn’t enough

[hearty warren]

the best you can do is to use the easier early game to spiral and look for jonklers

[frank grove]

i won most of my plasma runs with just chips i almost never pivot

square and blue early go crazy

[hearty warren]

pivot is bait a lot of the time

[heady narwhal]

on a standard deck i know that getting a x2 mult joker will roughly double my score, on plasma i just have no clue

[sleek shore]

Same because I could never get the pivot to work. I had to pray I get good scaling chips

Never gonna play plasma again fuck plasma

[somber geode]

my last run already had an eternal negative burnt joker

[zealous zinc]

simply make a retrigger build

[white zodiac]

a planet is 10x more score :3

[hearty warren]

photochad plasma is kinda funny

[hazy epoch]

i thought gros micheal was big bornana

[distant vault]

Hello

[zealous zinc]

i love plasma because i love endless and naneinf

[heady narwhal]

i hate plasma because i hate endless and naneinf

[sleek shore]

It’s crazy how piss easy white stake plasma is and how difficult gold stake plasma is

[karmic garnet]

So what's the easiest deck to use

[heady narwhal]

abandoned is the best deck for endless

[distant vault]

Who's on the party bus

[zealous zinc]

[sleek shore]

White stake plasma is easier than every other deck in white stake

[hearty warren]

i LOVE abandoned deck

[sleek shore]

abandoned is nice

Yellow is busted

Blue is overrated

[white zodiac]

most straightforward is prob checkered
most consistent is blue

[bleak hemlock]

a gay ace 🤔

[distant vault]

Taco cat on

Staying

[heady narwhal]

i don't think i've lost on blue deck a single time

[white zodiac]

blue currently holds the highest gs streak atm

[hearty warren]

+1 hand is pretty consistent idk

[heady narwhal]

but witj yellow deck i always get the most fucked up runs that die in ante 5

[zealous zinc]

i love yellow deck more than blue but i must concede that blue is more consistent and still
fun

[white zodiac]

blue happens to be beneficial to most scaling jokers which most of them happens to be the meta for the most consistent runs being lobotomy 2oak

[sleek shore]

As someone who doesn’t change win streaks. If I really wanted +1 hands I’d just reroll yellow deck until I get +1 hands vouchers in the shop. Now I have the benefits of blue deck as well interest money

[white zodiac]

yellow is a perfect straightforward and consistency middle ground

[zealous zinc]

ahhh yes that is why

i’m so multiplayer rotted i forgot pairs were meta

[white zodiac]

like

pretty much

all are money intensive

[zealous zinc]

go my flush five idol…

[sleek shore]

How does idol work in multi?

Or is it the same

[zealous zinc]

mostly the same but it is changed technically

one second

i mean acc the basic thing is that idol in multiplayer sorts your deck by frequency and vanilla idol sorts your deck by rank/suit

[sleek shore]

So cards with the most dupes have a higher chance of being picked?

[zealous zinc]

so if you had the vanilla idol in multiplayer you might lose because you have equal or better deckfixing but your opponent just picked a different card

[zealous zinc]

not exactly

actually not at all

the point is that in vanilla because it orders by rank and shit

if i had 15 king of hearts and opponent had 10 king of diamonds i might lose anyways

but if it sorts by frequency, if it picks the fifth card, it hit for both of us. but if it picks the 11th card it hit for me and not him

[hazy epoch]

the big latro

[zealous zinc]

so basically with that change, if you have better deckfixing you do better

it’s an invisible change but it makes it a lot more fair

[zealous zinc]

like a player looking from the outside won’t see a difference in how idol works, it’s just to make it more fair rng wise

i’m glad nanlets stuck around

as a term

[white zodiac]

oh yeah

[zealous zinc]

i last spoke a lot like half a year ago

[terse dock]

I am not

[white zodiac]

never forget

[sleek shore]

Ic. I thought it was more different because idol always hits in the multiplayer videos I see

[zealous zinc]

ty lilo for coining the term (i think it was them)

[terse dock]

It was both me and lilo

[zealous zinc]

yes

you right

[terse dock]

Lilo prompted it and I coined the term

[zealous zinc]

mv

mb

[zealous zinc]

oppenheimer…

[zealous zinc]

it’s cause idol is meta and chances are they were building into idol before ever seeing it

[terse dock]

I dont like multiplayer

[zealous zinc]

don’t tell nobody this but we are considering actually reworking it for ranked cause its lwk getting unfun as a meta

[white zodiac]

who would’ve seen that coming

[zealous zinc]

tbh i don’t think it’s insanely unfun, the issue is that at the highest ranks you are playing for it every game

and this is why i pushed for small world ranked because small world is the peak way to play multiplayer

[shell dagger]

rework: picks the lowest frequency card

[zealous zinc]

maybe even the peak way to play balatro

[white zodiac]

that works

[frank grove]

rework: make it slightly different ancient (2x - > 1.5x)

[zealous zinc]

guys if you ever play multiplayer please play small world

it’s so fun

and it’s not a boring ass meta

[zealous zinc]

and we made it ranked

so you can play ranked without playing the boring meta ranked

[terse dock]

I am going to play coop :stuff:

[white zodiac]

[frank grove]

what is the difference between ranked rule set and small world?

[zealous zinc]

coop balatro fr would be awesome

[zealous zinc]

small world randomly bans 3/4 of all cards

it’s different for every seed

and the showman effect is always active

[white zodiac]

sounds like fun

[zealous zinc]

so you get 1/4 of jokers tarots etc and try to figure out what the best build is

i think even vouchers

[zealous zinc]

the meta is different every game

no more boring idol meta

[obsidian patrol]

pareidolia gold sticker don

[frank grove]

i wonder if they have stats on how many people die to blinds in that mode

[zealous zinc]

idol won’t help you if death isn’t in your seed

[zealous zinc]

good question

[frank grove]

i doubt the logs log what blind they die though probably

but i guess the enemy position does get logged so maybe

[zealous zinc]

nah it should

it would log them losing a life

multiplayer is usually 4 lives and if you miss a small or big blind blind or lose a pvp blind you lose a life

[frank grove]

yeah ive played a little bit of multiplayer

i really wish there was in game queue system that would be so nice

[distant vault]

Whatever will I do

[barren wigeon]

never coming unfortunately

[frank grove]

isnt there already a mod for it?

[barren wigeon]

meant natively

[terse dock]

Silence yourself at once cretin

[frank grove]

yeah never coming in vanilla

[gloomy marsh]

is early game spare trousers any good with burglar?

[terse dock]

Im not reading that

[frank grove]

also i think the more rapid development and meta balancing of a mod makes sense for multiplayer

[obsidian patrol]

is the grass green

[terse dock]

No its brown

[gloomy marsh]

its eternal and my assumption is getting two pair draws isnt very viable on burglar

[unreal iron]

fliponachi

[quartz ember]

its the same viability as without burger but with a chance to get more with good luck

[obsidian patrol]

at worst you're getting more chances to play a two pair

[gloomy marsh]

i could also do deck fixing too

[distant vault]

Its in the bag

[barren wigeon]

shuffle me jimbos

[frank grove]

so much x mult my god

[proper turtle]

worth swapping fib for card sharp?

doing pairs

[fringe crest]

depends on levels

[quartz ember]

probably

but at the very least you can replace acro

[distant vault]

Fuck green deck

[fringe crest]

no

thats not nice

[distant vault]

Shit is ass

[fringe crest]

how is it bad

[distant vault]

Its boring

[fringe crest]

that doesnt mean its bad

[distant vault]

Never said it was bad

The fuck?

[proper turtle]

pairs are lvl8 but it works fine, I picked it up

now I do have this

[fringe crest]

uhh

[proper turtle]

I feel it should be better than acrobat

[fringe crest]

yeah you would take it

[quartz ember]

yes

[barren wigeon]

levels?

oh level 8

uhh I wouldn't

[quartz ember]

oh wait

holographics

yea nah

[proper turtle]

well, greed gets you punished

[barren wigeon]

you REALLY shouldn't have taken photo

[proper turtle]

you learn through your mistakes....

[fringe crest]

why

[barren wigeon]

well lets see

photo level 8 is what, 9 or 10 mult?

[fringe crest]

photo gives you 2x

[barren wigeon]

photo (without card enhancements) only multiplies your planet level

that isnt good with low levels

[proper turtle]

4x if we take blueprint but that wasn't enough

as the base mult was low

[fringe crest]

you would be copying acrobat

[smoky nova]

i'd say that's interesting

[barren wigeon]

so yes, photo was a bad take there

[fringe crest]

free gold stake win alert

[barren wigeon]

all good though

[proper turtle]

I actually forgot about the needle, wouldn't have taken out acrobat then

[barren wigeon]

happens to the best of us

[fringe crest]

i do the same thing with the psychic

[dreamy creek]

i love bloodstone

[opal delta]

I hate bloodstone

tarot generator or stencil

[placid ridge]

I have one joker. Black deck too, I should have more.

[frank grove]

i love trousers

speak of the devil

[opal pine]

what's the best deck to unlock invisible joker with?

[inland helm]

painted

imo

[sullen mica]

i just wanted erratic deck man 💔 i thought its unlocked after purple stake

[frank grove]

either that or black for the the extra slot?

but black deck is annoying

[inland helm]

NO WHAT

are you crazy

[sullen mica]

its not "dont get to the limit" its never get over 4

[inland helm]

yeah

[frank grove]

oh

[inland helm]

so black deck is literally just harder lol

[frank grove]

i thought for gold stickers sorry

[inland helm]

lol no worries

i was just like

[sullen mica]

is checkered deck viable for orange stake

its the only one i have that has it unlocked

[inland helm]

any deck is if youre a GAMER

[sullen mica]

none are even close xd

[frank grove]

any deck is kinda viable on any stake, checkered encourages flushes which arent as good as you go up the stakes but its fine

[sullen mica]

i just like the fact that i can always count on some hand even with just 2 discards

[sleek shore]

The issue with flushes is that you in other decks is that you cannot consistently draw it

[frank grove]

yeah

[sleek shore]

With checkered you shouldn’t not play flushes

[frank grove]

at least on check you can consistently draw it

[inland helm]

i love purposely building towards clubs or diamonds in checkered

[sullen mica]

thats the thing i cant always count on a full house on any dack

[inland helm]

because its funny

[sleek shore]

Are full house builds real?

[inland helm]

they should be

full house is awesome

[sullen mica]

idk i enjoy em

[frank grove]

buying greedy and gem before first boss on check 🤤

[inland helm]

😋

[proper turtle]

flushes really don't scale well, going from flushes to flush houses seems more probable on checkered

[brave stirrup]

I would like to thank@pale wolf @white zodiac @proper turtle @vocal rose and @barren wigeon for ts ❤️‍🩹

[proper turtle]

I've had more luck with 4oak builds, lol

[sullen mica]

by "bad scaling" ppl always talk only about the fact it gives +15 chips and +2 mult on planet card

[barren wigeon]

what'd I do

[white zodiac]

huh

[barren wigeon]

but you're welcome

[proper turtle]

you're welcome (idk what I did)

[brave stirrup]

Idk if you'd remember but the first few times I played the game I had asked for some advice. And you all supplied me with some

😇

[sleek shore]

Thank me please 🥺

[barren wigeon]

sounds about right

yeahitschips is quite helpful

[brave stirrup]

You get a brick

[sleek shore]

Fuck you

[brave stirrup]

LOL

Okay thank you

[sleek shore]

No problem broskie

[brave stirrup]

Who wants to be friends

[sullen mica]

is the game always this evil with perishable stickers or does it get better

[sleek shore]

We are besties

[barren wigeon]

yes

[inland helm]

it only gets worse

[barren wigeon]

yes it is

[sullen mica]

i got perishable tribe

[proper turtle]

gets worse

[sullen mica]

on checkered

[frank grove]

perishables are horrid

[proper turtle]

orange stake is one of my least fav stakes

[proper turtle]

even purple is great with the exponential score requirements

[frank grove]

full price for a joker i wont get to use in 5 rounds, they just become paper weights until i find something better

[proper turtle]

I always take perishable gros michel tho

[frank grove]

oh you gotta

[proper turtle]

8/10 times it has died on me and came back as a cavendish

[brave stirrup]

Wrinkle brained activities

[inland helm]

be ready for perishable blueprint, eternal commons, and a whole lot of money drain

[frank grove]

eternal commons can be good

[sullen mica]

NEVER playing any stakes after gold checkered...

[brave stirrup]

Isn't the photo a common

[frank grove]

yes

so is chad

like a 3rd of all commons are actually pretty okay as eternal

[proper turtle]

you can do better lol

[wintry ice]

eternal page 1 jokers aren't as much of a risk as people think

[frank grove]

yeah, the chips ones are actually pretty goated early on

[proper turtle]

well, the suit jokers aren't bad per se

[proper turtle]

RUNNERRR

[wintry ice]

it's better to waste a slot than waste a run

[frank grove]

+80 chips on two pair. +100 on 3oak

[wintry ice]

the mult ones are better early on but chips aren't something you can underestimate

they're a big component of your scoring

[solid garden]

yahimod?

[frank grove]

if you see scaling chips or chips for you hand you should probably take it if you dont already have chips

square joker is also common and thats my goat

[calm epoch]

idk i found it online lmao

[solid garden]

I wouldn't be surprised tbh

[calm epoch]

common jokers are lowk goated

[proper turtle]

early chips jokers are usually very great

[solid garden]

I should start a new profile for content mods istg

[wintry ice]

square joker is always going to be atleast somewhat useful

[brave stirrup]

Why can I only send some gifs lol

[frank grove]

rebate is good, shoot the moon is okay, golden ticket can be good, swash if you have egg or gift

there are actually a lot of really good commons

[sullen mica]

does perishable egg keep stacking?

[calm epoch]

riffraff my goat fr

[frank grove]

no

[sullen mica]

L

[wintry ice]

no

it just stays at the value it stopped at

[solid garden]

it keeps the price tho

[frank grove]

it stays at? i believe 18

[proper turtle]

it stacks uptill 5 rounds

[solid garden]

so it contributes to temp and swash

[proper turtle]

17

[wintry ice]

it's usually worth to keep it until you find something worth replacing

[sullen mica]

i mean ill get it for the interest ig

[wintry ice]

if you're below the interest quota then i'd say selling it is a good idea

[frank grove]

egg starts at 2 right?

[sullen mica]

got a free order on checkered deck 💔

[frank grove]

if you have the voucher it starts at 1

[proper turtle]

yes iirc

it gets debuffed at 17

[frank grove]

so it goes 2 - 5 - 8 - 12 - 15 - 18 no?

oh no

it doesnt

you're right

sorry

[calm epoch]

the mischievous +4 of confusion

[proper turtle]

its nice practice to always keep it if you have a joker slot, because it might let you buy something if you are short

[frank grove]

unless you need the money for interest then its very much worth just keeping debuffed jokers until you find something

and in case you find dagger you can feed the debuffed jimbos to the dagger

[proper turtle]

I found dagger very much less rewarding so idts I have a run won with it in the roster lol

[frank grove]

yeah its nice for rentals just to feed rentals to it

[zealous zinc]

not officially, but prolly will happen in multiplayer. it’s already almost a thing in the experimental branch

[wintry ice]

except when you wouldn't mind getting that joker again

like with parking or rebate

[frank grove]

yeah

[somber geode]

the joker stat lineup on my new phone

[alpine horizon]

looks very nice

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[fallow current]

Hey sooo what are the bulging sides in Joker arts

Are they ears or cheeks?

[glad sequoia]

Ears

[terse vale]

wdym

oh

ya

ears

[rustic oak]

Do I get it

[fallow current]

Dang didn't think about this

Also Trib I guess but cool

[white zodiac]

chainsaw man reference

[opal pine]

very fun run

[terse vale]

ears? what ears? what R u talking about silly

[buoyant ridge]

lmao should i murder chicot ?

[terse vale]

Mmmm

I would just look for planet levels 4 chips

oh wait

black deck

nvm u have room for Xmult

dont do it

[stiff ore]

i love the tags sometimes

[terse vale]

you will lowkey die

[brazen island]

If u think about it chicot has a low chance to be equivalent to a blueprint 🤔

[terse vale]

hmm

[brazen island]

On the crimson heart it kind of is like a blueprint

[stiff ore]

oh i garuntee it

[brazen island]

Or on violet vessel if you have a 6x joker then it’s a blueprint…

[terse vale]

I guess kinda? but chicot is like X3 to the whole score

[brazen island]

I’m just thunkin with my deformed prefrontal cortex

[terse vale]

[final bough]

i used to pray for runs like this

[stiff ore]

yeah i lost, because my boss blind removed my discards

[brazen island]

Joker idea that would only work for a mod:
Amalgamation
takes on the effect of a random joker
When this joker is sold, create another amalgamation that will take on the effect of a different random joker
-$3 sell value
Sell value cannot be increased
(Its any joker at all, not just owned)

It’s functionally eternal unless it’s negative and your joker slots are full

[uncut matrix]

i wouldnt do just any joker, id do held cuz that allows strategy

any joker allows stupid useless garbage

[brazen island]

Nah that’s too powerful

[uncut matrix]

its essentially an invis tho

[dire crater]

ok....
'

[brazen island]

Yeah but I think it sounds fun 🙁 that’s why I said only modded

[uncut matrix]

i also wouldnt make it come back after selling

id make it copy a different random held joker each ante maybee

or each round

[brazen island]

Too strong

Way too strong

[uncut matrix]

how

its a weirder blueprint

[brazen island]

And blueprint is too strong

[uncut matrix]

its a rare for a reason

[brazen island]

Yeah but it’s stronger than all the other rates

Rares*

[brazen island]

Not saying it’s a bad thing just that you don’t want to add more of that to the game

[dry remnant]

u can get a negative from riff raff?

[uncut matrix]

i think the randomness makes it just as good as an invis

which is find

[brazen island]

Yes! As long as you have empty slots

[dry remnant]

surely that's quite rare

[brazen island]

Invis is already very very strong, you don’t want to add more of that to the game either

[uncut matrix]

invis is not very very strong

[brazen island]

Same chance as finding a natural negative (1 in 1000 if I remember? Might be wrong)

[terse vale]

any edition, no tags

[dry remnant]

it broke in one round....

[serene forge]

invis ranges from gamebreaking to absolute garbage

[brazen island]

Invis is incredibly strong dawg

[serene forge]

i dont like that kind of design

[uncut matrix]

its random

[brazen island]

I mean it depends if you have garbage eternals

[uncut matrix]

or if you have a build that you wouldnt spare a slot for invis

[brazen island]

Then there’s a risk/reward, and maybe you don’t take it

[serene forge]

which you probably will because of how gold stake gameplay works

it's winmore

[twin lantern]

Really out here fishing for cheese

[brazen island]

Maybe you have one, MAYBE two, Invis still has a more than likely chance to at the very least be a x2 to your score

[serene forge]

it only helps if you're already in a winning position and thus redundant

[brazen island]

Damn mfers really be sleeping on Invis

[serene forge]

it won't help you at all if you're behind the curve especially since it takes 2 rounds for it to even activate

[barren wigeon]

anaglyph deck really sucks

[uncut matrix]

invis is good its not extremely amazing

[twin lantern]

Invis?

[brazen island]

Its an A tier joker imo

[barren wigeon]

its not hard its just a bad deck

[serene forge]

citation needed

[shell dagger]

1 in 333

[uncut matrix]

like i said its good

[brazen island]

Thanks for the correction 🙂

[twin lantern]

If i see invis and I have an open slot Ill hold onto it sense its -$3 at worst

[brazen island]

Idk maybe I’m just too braindead rn to think about it properly

If I’m too braindead rn to be able to formulate my argument for it as well as I usually am for most jokers I defend then maybe I’m just wrong lol

[uncut matrix]

if i have an open slot sure ill take it, but depending on my build half the time it wont help or is too risky to remove jokers for the one i want. the other half time i cant take it

[twin lantern]

Coward

[brazen island]

I’ll still defend splash till the end of time tho

[serene forge]

invis being able to copy negative eternals is funny

[brazen island]

Splash is my goat

Can we all agree on that at least

[uncut matrix]

splash is fine

[brazen island]

Splash rules

So fun

[serene forge]

i used perishable rental splash with flower pot once even though blackboard was right there

[brazen island]

So balanced

Such good design

[serene forge]

because saying perishable rental splash won me a game is too funny

[brazen island]

New sticker idea:
transgender sticker
After 5 rounds, this joker turns into another random joker

[twin lantern]

Honestly this is the same as saying you'll die on the hill "the sky is blue" or "birds fly"

[brazen island]

Only happens once tho

[twin lantern]

Splash underrated asf

[pale wolf]

what

[ember turtle]

woah

[brave stirrup]

Just read what I said right after

[ember turtle]

this reminds me of the trans seal idea i had

[brazen island]

I will die on both of those hills for the record

[buoyant ridge]

why does this not win ? i have a +66 dagger

[pale wolf]

why do you think I know how to read

[brave stirrup]

Because you typed this message

[serene forge]

it does not win because it does not score the required amount of points 👍

[brazen island]

Actually that would be a cool way to make perishable less annoying
After 5 rounds, this joker turns into a random common joker
