[calm furnace]

just anglyph things

[brittle temple]

we need to make people play every single seed to 100%

[queen dock]

Hmm interesting. I think I only get the spectral pack tho

[nocturne wasp]

hate when I'm doing a run and THE optimal move is buying photochad

[brittle temple]

scarychad in plasma

[calm furnace]

eyoo

this run is brazy bruh

[queen dock]

Hmm maybe take the Red seal ace and then grab rental agate maybe?

Or maybe Red seal 10.

[past nebula]

even if i stayed with photo, i don't think i could have evaded here any other way

[shell dagger]

No need for agate

[queen dock]

Didn't think so.

Especially as an early rental

But my phone at 20%

[sullen mica]

does castle take only suits that i have or nah? im on checkered

[shell dagger]

It does

So checkered castle is great

[sullen mica]

goated

got yorick first ante

polychrome from spectral pack second shop

[calm furnace]

this run was impossible to lose lmao

[queen dock]

Gg

[calm furnace]

red card so goated

[queen dock]

It's upsetting when you actually get good tarot's or planets tho

[calm furnace]

a hermit is worth more than +3 mult

[queen dock]

True

[calm furnace]

as for planet cards depends, if you have chips joker you just ignore planets

or blue seal

[queen dock]

I meant an early game red card.

[calm furnace]

its best early tbf

aerly-mid

otherwise you wont scale it much

its expensive but +3 mult is about all you need per shop

+9 per ante

[sand robin]

What worth getting rid of for oops

[calm furnace]

photo

[queen dock]

Yeah skip one pack at least per round sounds good

[sand robin]

Oki

[barren wigeon]

no...?

not photo

[calm furnace]

huh

they can find photo later

[queen dock]

Get that emoji out of here I hate my phone recommending emojis.

[barren wigeon]

hold up too much math

[calm furnace]

like there is no option there other than photo

maybe on shorter term there is a loss in scoring

[calm furnace]

whats your deck like

can you play flushes with 4+ face cards?

[barren wigeon]

im pretty sure selling chad and copying sock gives you the most chips....?

[calm furnace]

depends on the hand

[barren wigeon]

oh I was assuming flush five

[calm furnace]

if hand has only 1 face card then sock aint doing much

[barren wigeon]

oh

what hand are you playing

flush house?

[sand robin]

Mostly flush atm

[wintry ice]

chad also gives money so i think that outweights it for now

[barren wigeon]

uhhh

yeah chad would give money

i guess sell photo

[calm furnace]

just sell photo, copy the red seal j and pivot to flush five

[sand robin]

Ok

[indigo spear]

two enchanted aces

[wintry ice]

strengthing the red seal into a king is also an idea incase you pivot to baron

[calm furnace]

POG BARON

[indigo spear]

guys destroy one random card but get two enchanted aces

[barren wigeon]

hell is an enchanted ace

[indigo spear]

two enchanted aces

two of them

[wintry ice]

what are the other options

[indigo spear]

destroy one random card get three enchanted face cards

[barren wigeon]

what is an enchanted card

[indigo spear]

card with enchant

[wintry ice]

enhanced

[brittle temple]

vic when are you becoming a joker

[indigo spear]

you dont understand

[barren wigeon]

enhanced card?

[wintry ice]

not enchanted

[indigo spear]

destroy one random card and get two enchanted aces

[wintry ice]

grim is more deterministic

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[acoustic kettle]

Grim is so grim

[wintry ice]

and helps set up 4oak

so

[acoustic kettle]

Can those give seals

[wintry ice]

no

[acoustic kettle]

Maybe it'd be good

[sand robin]

Dusk ain’t worth I assume

[wintry ice]

better for scoring than chad ig

[calm furnace]

DO I

[wintry ice]

though i assume you don't need it yet

[wintry ice]

send the full screenshot

[signal frigate]

What about this?

[calm furnace]

now this is madness

[sand robin]

Yesh I hold off rn

[indigo spear]

ok so you destroy one rancom card

but get two enhanced aces

[signal frigate]

It would be fun if you have an eternal campfire

[signal frigate]

What about Grim?

What's the topic here?

[calm furnace]

that would go hard

[indigo spear]

the topic is the spectral card

[calm furnace]

i wish i could have bought telescope would help here

[violet bear]

Well hey golden joker value on average. Sometimes an awful lot more if you snipe a rebate

[signal frigate]

What about them?

[indigo spear]

you destroy one random card but get two enhanced aces

[signal frigate]

Yeah? Is there any problem with that or?

What's the context here?

[indigo spear]

idk what theyre all talking about i just wanna talk about destroying one random card and getting two enhanced aces

[signal frigate]

Why do you wanna talk about that?

[indigo spear]

because

[calm furnace]

lets go

[indigo spear]

because you get two enhanced aces

you destroy one card but get two enhanced aces

one random card

[brittle temple]

4 cards away from the judgement loop...

[indigo spear]

judgement

thy end is now

prepare thyself

[calm furnace]

this ggoing to be wild

just need eternal photo

shouldnt have picked the chad

[calm furnace]

lmao

[wintry ice]

lol

[calm furnace]

nooo judgment gave me blueprint

feelsbadman

[shell dagger]

just full skip

[uncut matrix]

first time that’s ever been said

[shell dagger]

if you can’t win with x1.5^14 mult and whatever madness is at then that’s crazy

[calm furnace]

i could

but where is the fun

[uncut matrix]

seeing bp go is less fun

[thick junco]

Man I’m struggling so much with the Green stake

[uncut matrix]

green deck?

[keen fox]

Ah....

[brittle temple]

mmm infinite judgements

lowk you could use a tarot pack to fill up like 5 tarot slots

instead of just making them negative

[calm furnace]

easiest run of history

[brittle temple]

what in the 5oak

[brittle temple]

@narrow wadi

[keen fox]

Challenge deck, trying to do luxury tax

[calm furnace]

omg

[atomic trout]

Could anyone imagine facing two Boss Blinds at once? Which would be the worst of both worlds?

[frank grove]

violet vessel and the wall at the same time ..

[atomic trout]

The Violet Vessel and Needle

Wait. That DOES exist!

[calm furnace]

fuck me invisible copied eternal baseball i lost

[atomic trout]

The Golden Needle challenge... does the Needle itself become easier?

[serene forge]

I hate Black Hole

[serene forge]

mouth + eye

instant game over if you don't one shot kill

[eager summit]

balatro is technically a gacha

[atomic trout]

I never thought about that 🤣

[atomic trout]

It's like having two Managers telling you different orders 🤣

[eager summit]

that's just a tuesday for me

[calm furnace]

needle + flint

[lost vault]

???

[calm furnace]

fish + house or flish + water can be annoying

especially if playing straights

[eager summit]

wall + needle

[calm furnace]

crimson heart + amber

good luck knowing whats your score gonna be like

[eager summit]

nononono

wall + flint

or violet vessel + flint

[wintry ice]

you don't pay real money for characters you won't even use

[eager summit]

the water and the needle would be a run ender unless you get the perfect first hand

literally up to rng at that point

amber and leaf is just cruel

that would be fucking evil

leaf is already evil, now you don't know what you're selling

[lost vault]

leaf us easy

[calm furnace]

yeah leaf is non issue

mot of the time

[eager summit]

leaf is a non-issue until the jokers are flipped

in the optimal situation you would have 1 joker that doesn't proc on play and 4 that always do, but that's only the optimal, what if you have 5 jokers that are dependent on un-debuffed cards

[calm furnace]

can just hold the joker you wanna sell before starting the bind

[eager summit]

you can do that?

[calm furnace]

yeah

[eager summit]

damn

[calm furnace]

thats the tech for blueprint/brainstorm

press start bind, then quickly press on the joker you wanna retain its possition

harder on mobile than pc

oh wait i thought of bad boss combo

needle + acorn

cant waste a hand to re-order

[atomic trout]

🖕

Orange Stakes sucks

[eager summit]

head and goad if you're playing checkered

[wintry ice]

me when scaling joker pair build

[soft vapor]

Bro lost to the arm

[hybrid cypress]

i obviously pick up pareidolia right?

what do i get rid of here??

[wintry ice]

no

i guess you might be able to just sell scary face

but pareidolia just leaves face card builds more vulnerable to plant

[lost vault]

pareidolia sucks

[hybrid cypress]

i dont..have scary face

[lost vault]

they probably meant smiley

[terse dock]

Collect my pages

[terse dock]

No

[hybrid cypress]

listen to the tapes and youll find the key

[wintry ice]

yea

slenderman if he was a biologist be like collect my bacteriophages

[keen fox]

Hit a 20$ lucky card and immediately tanked my hand size 💀

[uncut slate]

hey it's pretty good with face card value generation

just not for scoring

[wintry ice]

it's usecases are similar to splash's

[uncut slate]

midas mask, business card, parking, etc

faceless even

[lost vault]

i know

[lunar zealot]

Wrong

Pareidolia is uncommon

that is its BEST quality

[sleek valley]

I made the right decision to skip the photo there, right? At this stage, deck fixing is more important than score, so i needed tarot generation somewhere

[stark karma]

Pareidolia when deckfixingdolia enters the room

[sleek valley]

Obviously the superposition wasn't the way to get that.

[stark karma]

Smiley is useless here

Should have taken photo

[sleek valley]

I did get rid of smiley, but it was for luchador. Bad finisher blind

[lost vault]

deckfixingdolia (uncommon)
all cards are considered DESTROYED

[stark karma]

Good call

[stark karma]

All cards are considered the card u want

[lunar zealot]

instantly makes idol online btw

If we go by the wording of the joker, all playing cards are now counted as destroyed

so idol now procs on the default playing card ace of spades

[atomic trout]

An evil arm

Really?

Maybe Swashbuckler sucks on Plasma Deck

[terse vale]

and rebate is even better too

[lunar zealot]

i think castle would only be on spades as well

sadly aj isn't deck based so lmao

[lunar zealot]

Though then again if we go by the wording then buying the joker instantly killls you

because you have 0 cards in your deck

[terse vale]

oh true

[dark cairn]

lmao i got today's balatrodle first try
i usually guess hologram first but i decided to change it up this time

[past nebula]

time to have fun!

[calm furnace]

my problem with anaglyph is right here

gonna skip for this and yolo

[tight pike]

I can't even lie that Anaglyph is my favorite deck

It's so fucking stupid and I love it just cuz of that

[calm furnace]

all the skip tags

[tender bone]

Guys this should be naneif right? (If my tablet doesn’t explode)

[calm furnace]

LETS GO FINALLY BASEBALL USEFUL

[tight pike]

No

Naninf is e308

[calm furnace]

ez win

[rancid niche]

I did actually ace it, I was playing 5oak aces

[calm furnace]

also didnt know that if you use hangman on a selected card

you are free to select any card you want

[fervent wolf]

Unlucky

[rancid niche]

Also 3 new gold stickers

[calm furnace]

against the bell that is

[tender bone]

Why not sell immobulate

[rancid niche]

Yorick, Merry Andy, and Showman

[tender bone]

“Immolate”

[tacit stream]

still not enough $ I think

[frank grove]

immolate is only 2 bucks it wouldnt be enough i dont think

[calm furnace]

immolate is 2$

[tender bone]

Oh

[tacit stream]

spectrals sell for $2

[calm furnace]

sell groker

groker and the straight joker have anti synergy

[rancid niche]

True

It's unlikely to hit straights without discarding

[frank grove]

i hope in 1.1 there are more ante 8/final bosses added

[calm furnace]

and it being eternal

[proper turtle]

Just a disclaimer that don't discard after you hang the selected one

[calm furnace]

so

fuck it sell groker

[tender bone]

Is there any way I can get better apart from playing I wanna be able to beat all decks on gold stake

[proper turtle]

For future references

[rancid niche]

Sad I love groker

[calm furnace]

crazy

least fav joker personally

[proper turtle]

Decent scaling

[frank grove]

greenbo is great

[calm furnace]

its great

[rancid niche]

Doesn't mean it doesn't win runs

[calm furnace]

top tier joker

but discarding is fun

[proper turtle]

Slightly better than bus I feel

[terse vale]

idk how

[proper turtle]

Yea it disables you to utilise purple seals well

[calm furnace]

nah bus clears joker

[rancid niche]

I like to kill my face cards in gold stake runs

[calm furnace]

by miles

[terse vale]

not being able to discard for a bit sucks but rtb doesn’t really have a bad downside

[tender bone]

How is groker good it doesn’t allow you to play your best hand all the time?

Genuinely don’t know

[terse vale]

?

[calm furnace]

llmao

[proper turtle]

Pairs ftw

[terse vale]

best hands depend on the run mate

[frank grove]

in gold stake you dont need to play 4oak or better you can play high card, pairs or two pairs fairly consistantly without discarding ever

[terse vale]

ya but i’m thinking of stuff like gold cards and blue seals and stuff

[tender bone]

Apart from that don’t u sacrifice some money since you use hands to upgrade it

[frank grove]

blue seals are nice to find though

[terse vale]

yeah but its worth it

[rancid niche]

Erratic deck allows for some funny runs

[tender bone]

Not even done yet

[proper turtle]

Game maker infact

Blue seals are just too good

[calm furnace]

why did i take 4fingers

[rancid niche]

flush house in round 1 is fun

Or flush five

[frank grove]

oh yeah, like the most powerful thing in the game probably

[sullen mica]

how

[fervent wolf]

Do I take

[frank grove]

on erratic you can get flush house, 5oak or even very rarely flush fives in round one because of the randomness of the deck

[rotund igloo]

No

[fervent wolf]

W pfp

[calm furnace]

if it wasnt rental

[fervent wolf]

Yeah, unlucky

[rancid niche]

On erratic deck you sometimes get lucky

[calm furnace]

i love fortune

[tender bone]

Can’t you just restart till it’s a good seed and make it 23x easier

[vagrant kayak]

I failed

[rancid niche]

You can

[tender bone]

That takes the fun out of it tho lol

[rancid niche]

But why would you waste time restarting instead of just playing

[vagrant kayak]

My ChadSock Steel Kings run

[rancid niche]

True

[vagrant kayak]

Because of the fucking plant

[rancid niche]

Deck fixing is fun

[tender bone]

F

[fervent wolf]

So we're cooked

[smoky vessel]

i may have accidentally stumbled upon an observatory naneinf seed

[vagrant kayak]

Yeah

[smoky vessel]

only problem is it's "seeded"

[vagrant kayak]

PEAK

[smoky vessel]

because i found a hologram mime on round 2

after buying an arcana pack and overstock

and wasn't able to afford the mime

so i threw on round 3 and redid the seed

and perkeo showed up

[rancid niche]

Fair use of the quotaiton marks there

[frank grove]

i need to do more endless runs i havent done any for agesss

[smoky vessel]

lmao

[rancid niche]

I've been dying for someone to try my seed

[smoky vessel]

WE'RE OFF

[amber forge]

Good luck

[smoky vessel]

and ecto hit perkeo wiw

could've probably risked ecto hitting dna but

[amber forge]

Do you already have observatory?

[smoky vessel]

ye

[rancid niche]

Not worth

[smoky vessel]

director's cut as well

[rancid niche]

But hand size is probably a problem now

[smoky vessel]

e22 for now

[shell dagger]

it’s only ante 10

[amber forge]

That’s good for ante 10

[fervent wolf]

IDOL BEING USEFUL OMG

[rancid niche]

But not enough planets is the issue

[smoky vessel]

might just take a hieroglyph rn

[shell dagger]

basically ante 9

[smoky vessel]

i've got quite a few blue seals

[rancid niche]

Nice

[smoky vessel]

hc on 42

[shell dagger]

blue seals irrelevant then

[rancid niche]

You still need more copying jokers

[amber forge]

Now you need a way to get more money

[rancid niche]

Showman is your friend here

[smoky vessel]

and i get max temperance value because of a gift card earlier

[smoky vessel]

found a mail in rebate

[rancid niche]

Gold kings are more consistent if scoring is not a problem

[amber forge]

Nice, what’s your deck currently?

[smoky vessel]

decently fixed but the mail in is currently on a 4

:/

[rancid niche]

The one and only 4

[amber forge]

You’re doing very good for ante 10, which is basically 9

[smoky vessel]

speaking of which

that's a godly arcana pack actually wtf

just that my deck's basically done

[calm furnace]

noway bootstrap is not the worst joker in the game

16 mult while sitting on 44$

[odd robin]

What do I do

Might sell canio

[calm furnace]

why sell canio

[frank grove]

for invis hit im guessing

[odd robin]

Nvm it hit brainstorm we good

[calm furnace]

oh

[odd robin]

Still looking for that sock

[smoky vessel]

goodbye mailin

[calm furnace]

check the drawers

talk about synergy

aint no way buying groker

[odd robin]

I am gonna explode

[obsidian patrol]

Blackboard synergy

[calm furnace]

ruineda run with negative riff raff i should retire

[smoky vessel]

does anyone know how to influence what an invis copies

other than selling the joker that it's gonna copy

(savescumming)

[odd robin]

WAIT IM DEAD...

[smoky vessel]

my invis is gonna copy a baron

[obsidian patrol]

other than savescumming and selling jonklers you cant know

Or influence it

[calm furnace]

i hate life

[fervent wolf]

Rip

[odd robin]

should I be copying sock or trib

[smoky vessel]

as much as possible you want the number of triggers to be equal to the number of tribs

sell baron for mail in?

[fervent wolf]

W start

[obsidian patrol]

i would

dont need it for socring

[smoky vessel]

yeah

[smoky vessel]

target's only 600 mil rn

[distant vault]

[distant vault]

Fuck YOU

[smoky vessel]

[distant vault]

Greek joker

[obsidian patrol]

greek joker

[distant vault]

Aka marble joker

I like him

[inland helm]

every time i come in here i swear i see you complaining about green joker 😭

[brittle temple]

get like 5-10k and then get a showman or invis if you find one

[distant vault]

I must spread the hate

[inland helm]

[brittle temple]

i hate green joker too

[clever salmon]

Anyone knows why i cant use this spectral card? Its seems awesome

[smoky vessel]

all your cards already have editions

[brittle temple]

all your jokers have an effect

[clever salmon]

Bruh

[brittle temple]

go with deja vu

[weak relic]

Really?

[smoky vessel]

ffs invis copied baron again

[brittle temple]

rip

tbh you're already set for a naneinf unless you want an ante39 run

[smoky vessel]

true

i saw the plant and rerolled

goodbye money

[brittle temple]

pair

trust

[weak relic]

Pair

[brittle temple]

wait are those all plutos

[smoky vessel]

[brittle temple]

[smoky vessel]

[distant vault]

Rate my pair

[frank grove]

[distant vault]

[brittle temple]

and yeah

[clever salmon]

Should i exchange any of my jokers for this awesome unit of banana?

[rotund igloo]

Yes

[brittle temple]

you dont need that blue joker

[clever salmon]

Yes masters

[odd robin]

welp (CA4J5KG6)

[brittle temple]

op

[uncut matrix]

wtf

thats some wild tarot ordering

[brittle temple]

if only i got it in ante8 so i couldve done it with judgnement

[uncut matrix]

but its corrected by seed fuckery??

[brittle temple]

147 gold stickers in one game

[brittle temple]

its unseeded

[solemn heath]

swap tribe for oa6?

[uncut matrix]

it still has a seed

[brittle temple]

i just have every tarot card and it cant repeat

[uncut matrix]

ohh

[calm furnace]

idc how strong groker is he no fun

[brittle temple]

the temperance can be any card

its really hard to get it done by ante8 but if you do you can technically get 50k judgements and get a negative of every single joker and then gold sticker all of them

[solemn heath]

hrm

yes

[brittle temple]

prob

the retriggers are worth it

[solemn heath]

i've got 4 red seal kings

this seed is so good

[brittle temple]

yeah thats even better

the lucky card effects too

[solemn heath]

i fucked mysel

i didn't reroll

heart debuff

[tranquil steppe]

Not a bad choice at all. Love the blood6 combo

[solemn heath]

is there a way to get the seed after i ended the run

[tranquil steppe]

Maybe you’ll power through with debuffed flushes

[solemn heath]

would like to post it all for you

[tranquil steppe]

Yes

[distant vault]

Fool on soul?

[tranquil steppe]

Screenshot it when you get game over or hit endless

[distant vault]

[solemn heath]

i did not

i died and main menu'd

[tranquil steppe]

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that. That’s awesome

[solemn heath]

but i want seed

[solemn heath]

doesn't work

[tranquil steppe]

Welp turn off your game and hope for the best

[distant vault]

I know

[supple spruce]

Should i take obelisk?

[distant vault]

Its canio

This has to be gg

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[tranquil steppe]

It’d be cool if it did work

[serene forge]

gg

nat poly too??

[tranquil steppe]

Lord Canio!!!!!

[serene forge]

nah you need a bigger buffer imo

[supple spruce]

I need to do math

[tranquil steppe]

Yes. Get rid of parking

[supple spruce]

I could get it to x3 by the end of one round

[tranquil steppe]

Pairs to the moon

[supple spruce]

But i cant play supernova anymore

[proper turtle]

guys, magic, abandoned, painted gold stake and green orange & gold stake, help me out

[tranquil steppe]

Eventually you can

[supple spruce]

Wdym

[tranquil steppe]

Like if you just focus on pairs

[supple spruce]

Itll reset obelisk

[tranquil steppe]

Wut

Pairs won’t

[distant vault]

Canio so fucking cool

Side quest to kill face cards has begun

[tranquil steppe]

Hang glass doze bois

[calm furnace]

how the hell did you play 157 hands

[tranquil steppe]

Burglar

Copy burglar at that

[calm furnace]

anyway dont take obelisk

supernove and obelisk dont work together

only if you had groker

[tranquil steppe]

You 100% take obelisk

[supple spruce]

oh

[calm furnace]

and score with what mult?

[tranquil steppe]

That thing will be stupid strong in 2-3antes

[supple spruce]

Ohh yeah

[calm furnace]

they're already at ante 7 and no flat mult or chip jokers

[tranquil steppe]

Supernova eventually. Or get mercuries or find bootstrap. Idk there are ways

[fervent wolf]

Do I

[supple spruce]

So i could get x10 mult and then x3 xmult in one round

Yeah so i should take obelisk

[calm furnace]

to reroll for boots you gonna spend money

[tranquil steppe]

I know

[clever salmon]

Any smart giga sigma knows if i should take this card and where should i place it?

[calm furnace]

did you take a banan earlier in the run?

is cav available?

[tranquil steppe]

They have time to find a +mult or build up mercury

Obelisk being super strong quickly with help carry them for a while

[calm furnace]

without discards there is a risk of having to play high card

[tranquil steppe]

Fair point yea

Better have a biggggg hand lol

Or stuff like strength as a backup

[calm furnace]

200$

i would buy obelisk and reroll to find a flat mult joker

[supple spruce]

Burglar blueprint and supernova like by ante 2

[calm furnace]

like if you can find blue joker and lets say half joker

then spam pairs

[supple spruce]

ye

[calm furnace]

but burglar + supernova to scale with obelisk is gonna be a big risk

and mercury is not levelled so there is a severe lack of chips

[supple spruce]

Does mime or parking make more money

[calm furnace]

depends

mime makes money from gold cards

[sly bolt]

hello chat I'm pretty new to the game, how do I unlock the scribbled joker?

[calm furnace]

only

[supple spruce]

k lets see how it goes

[calm furnace]

gold stake?

[supple spruce]

No this is green stake

Well im gonna have to sell mime anyways

[calm furnace]

green is below purple?

so the scoring requirements are not maxed right?

[supple spruce]

ye

Holy

[calm furnace]

perfect

now if you can find abstract or half joker

the only risk is with burlgar

[loud oxide]

Idk what to really pick here… as it is multipliers are getting difficult to come by

[inland helm]

brint

[calm furnace]

sell odd todd or mr bones and get blueprint

[inland helm]

i just wanted to say brint you can do whatever you want

[calm furnace]

blueprint + burnt joker will cover you for chips

also put half joker last for the 1.5xm

[loud oxide]

Aight and where do I get blue print

Put*

Sorry

[calm furnace]

behind burnt joker on the first discard

then behind half joker

[loud oxide]

Ok one sec

[novel hound]

“i sure can’t wait to win this photochad run” i says to myself
i then sat there in horror as the plant showed up

[calm furnace]

the plant cant beat photochad

[loud oxide]

Is this what you mean?

[calm furnace]

what hand are you playing pairs?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[loud oxide]

Pairs yeh

Just pairs

[calm furnace]

so yeah discard a pair

then move blueprint behind half joker

but half joker should be on the upmost right

[loud oxide]

So basically to the half jokers left

[wintry ice]

i'd have replaced bones with mime if i had blue seals or something like that

[loud oxide]

I have steel cards but only a few

[calm furnace]

sorry

[wintry ice]

you have burnt

it would have been worth it

[wintry ice]

holy shit blaze it

[loud oxide]

Like this right ? After the discard?

[calm furnace]

like this

[serene forge]

easy game

[loud oxide]

Oh ok

[calm furnace]

runner so goated

[loud oxide]

Which one boss

[lost vault]

nya~

[calm furnace]

throwback is decent here at x2

[wintry ice]

been ages since i've had a runner run

[loud oxide]

Replace banana I guess

[calm furnace]

no mr bones

[loud oxide]

Oh-

Alright

[soft mango]

The one time I decide to gamble on a negative tag 😭

[wintry ice]

you could keep bones for a hard boss but idk what could threathen you

[wintry ice]

it's better than average atleast

[loud oxide]

a boss that half’s my Mult into an oblivion

🔫

[wintry ice]

doesn't most of it come from half

or like

half of it atleast

[loud oxide]

As in?

[wintry ice]

half joker

well burnt joker with blueprint and several blue seals would have pairs at like lvl 50 by now

[smoky vessel]

oh shit

this run might be going somewhere guys

[wintry ice]

so idk

[loud oxide]

Yeh so im slow i didnt level the mf up before

[sleek valley]

Turned out to be a pretty decent run, id say.

[loud oxide]

How do I play this out fist discard thingy then half blue print or times 2?

@calm furnace ^

[wintry ice]

put it on throwback

because it also affects the mult from planet levels

[loud oxide]

Oh fu- no way

Cool

@wintry ice lil issue- idk wut dafuq

[wintry ice]

whuh

[loud oxide]

do I discard ?

Or play the hand

Cuz I don’t want to waste the burnt joker

On high card

[floral stratus]

how many pairs do you have?

[loud oxide]

Uhhh

[floral stratus]

in your deck, how many possible pairs are there, i mean

[loud oxide]

[floral stratus]

discard

[wintry ice]

just discard it

[floral stratus]

you're fine dude

you'll get 2 more aces

[loud oxide]

Ok ok I will

[wintry ice]

there's like 0 opportunity cost to drawing pairs

[floral stratus]

true

[calm furnace]

0 triggers on dusk hand

🙂

:):):)

[wintry ice]

bloodstone moment

[floral stratus]

Bloodstone my beloved

such a funky card with flush five and oops all 6s

[calm furnace]

...

[floral stratus]

wha?

[wintry ice]

it's good when
you win without it

[floral stratus]

i usually end up finding it early on

[tranquil steppe]

Mistaaaaa Bones is gonna help win me this plasma gold like the boss he is

[floral stratus]

Mista bones the goat

what a legend

[loud oxide]

My wash buckler is at +19 Mult do I go for it or..,

[tranquil steppe]

I could swap him with ice cream but I just need 200k with him for the dub

[floral stratus]

in our time of dispair, mr bones will pick us up

[floral stratus]

just discard then find more aces

don't JUST discard the aces though

[loud oxide]

Aight

[tranquil steppe]

Maybe swap devious for ice cream just for the sticker

[loud oxide]

Yeh the pairs

[floral stratus]

try discard everything you can with it still being a pair

[loud oxide]

Any pair works

[floral stratus]

so get your pair and 3 other non matching cards

so you can discard 5 without losing the pair discard level up

[loud oxide]

ohhh right

[tranquil steppe]

Runner > stuntman confirmed

[floral stratus]

runner is really good but stuntman doesn't require setup

it definitely is better long term

[tranquil steppe]

Fair

[fiery nymph]

me when scale jokers scores higher than a joker that doesnt require any setup 😱😱😱

[floral stratus]

ok bro pack it up no need for the hate 💔

[cosmic maple]

I thought I lost on needle so i stopped playing for a while came back to it, staying alive and I think I take the DNA?

[tranquil steppe]

Ho ho ho merryyyyyy christmasssss a free gold business card sticker for me

[floral stratus]

literally pays for itself and more

[calm furnace]

i hate diamonds so much

[cosmic maple]

Y

[floral stratus]

i say switch out the 8

[cosmic maple]

Yes that's what I was thinking

[floral stratus]

don't blame you, their uncommon is kinda boring

[calm furnace]

always killed by flush diamonds

they never come when i need them

[loud oxide]

HOLOGRAPHIC CAVENDISH HAHAAAAyes MORE MULT FOR ME 😈

[floral stratus]

we love cavendish!!

[tranquil steppe]

I believe that’s already game with mistaaaaaa bones

[loud oxide]

My banana died of died

[tranquil steppe]

Yep that was 257k

[floral stratus]

you could beat it without him probs

[floral stratus]

oh damn

thought it would've been a bit more

but still

you win!

[sand lily]

Switching between decks one at a time increasing stakes for C+ right now and man this is awful

[ember turtle]

black deck blue stake

yummy

[sand lily]

I love -1 hand and -1 discard

So great

[ember turtle]

nothing is cooler than black deck gold stake tho

[wintry ice]

fun fact that was the deck's original downside!

[tranquil steppe]

My boy survived!!!! Mistaaaaaa bonesssssss! Plasma complete and more gold stickers

[cursive crater]

what the hell bro

[ember turtle]

mr bones is my favourite 4x mult joker

[west perch]

that's the most deadly missile ever. not cause of the nuke but because wherever it lands has to deal with a cranky wolverine

[cursive crater]

what happens when mr bones saves you on the last boss blind do you get the win or it you lose

[tranquil steppe]

You still win. Just no money from beating the boss

[alpine halo]

I got a natural negative canio on first ante big blind charm skip

Seed is XBFTQLVV

[tranquil steppe]

Mr bones is great for gold mode if you’re in a pinch and can’t reach the score

[cursive crater]

i see

[cursive crater]

thats good and all...but why did you skip

[neat ore]

Joker idea! Gives you plus 5 hand size but you are in debt until ya sell it

[alpine halo]

I skip for charm tags early because I want to and it’s fun I don’t care that it’s not optimal

[alpine halo]

That sounds horrible

[neat ore]

Why?

[cursive crater]

ok

that makes sense

[cosmic maple]

I feel like I could do so much better without the burglar

[coarse silo]

When I’m in a having fun competition and my opponent is plasma deck white stake:

[cosmic maple]

Nah black stakes where it's at, don't have to deal with difficulty above black stake but get to enjoy eternal jokers

[neat ore]

I really love playing abandoned deck recently

Its so fun

[alpine halo]

Abandoned was my first gold stake I love the prethinned deck

[neat ore]

Exactly! Tho erosion kinda sucks on it but like

Luckily it's just 1 joker

[calm furnace]

and blue joker

[alpine halo]

I never use erosion honestly

[neat ore]

Forgor about it

[alpine halo]

I just did straights with superposition for orange and one of the others

Did a weirdass 3oak build for gold stake

[calm furnace]

3oak so good on abandoned

[languid heron]

My first gold stake was yellow deck wiþ Ace high straights because econ is good

[neat ore]

Honestly whenever I play abandoned I basically only do full house builds

And sometimes straight builds

[tranquil steppe]

Abandoned is the only deck I’ve ever purposely made a run with straight flushes work

[calm furnace]

straight flush is easy on checkered

[magic tree]

should I take obelisk and switch to pairs?

[west perch]

my first deep run on abandoned was flush 5 2's

with a big black wee

[magic tree]

and get rid of photograph?

since its only benefitting from the first card scored

[calm furnace]

didnt know wee had skin colors

[languid heron]

Id kill arrowhead instead

[west perch]

negative

[magic tree]

so switching to pairs is a good idea?

okay thx

[tranquil steppe]

Yea true. Abandoned is nice because there are 12 fewer cards right off the bat

[calm furnace]

fakin hate the hook

[tranquil steppe]

Btw @calm furnace I appreciate you. You are not combative like other people here

[calm furnace]

the whole gang is here

[calm furnace]

❤️

i can be combative when i see campfire or painted deck slander

[last bolt]

hi pls tips for green on gold

[tranquil steppe]

There was painted deck slander the other day when I said it was one of the easiest decks

And everyone was like stfu noob

[cursive crater]

one telescope and its over

[calm furnace]

its one of the easiest decks for gold stake

[last bolt]

I hate painted deck

[wintry ice]

i think like half of the decks are easier

[last bolt]

I got this one build

[wintry ice]

not being able to take random eternals is a big downside on high stakes

[lost vault]

i hatw valatro

[last bolt]

looked for a photograph for a photochad setup

[wintry ice]

doesn't compare to the bottom 4 but yeah

[last bolt]

got a lusty chad instead

[wintry ice]

green and anaglyph have a big gap between them

[last bolt]

[wintry ice]

ignore the typo

but anyways

[tranquil steppe]

@calm furnace there’s your slander. Get them!

[calm furnace]

you can still do that

[wintry ice]

yellow, blue and abandoned decks are obviously very easy

[calm furnace]

painted is so strong you only need xmult

[last bolt]

I fw campfire tho

[calm furnace]

now thats one card i dont like on painted deck

[wintry ice]

and zodiac, ghost, checkered, magic and red deck are just simple

[last bolt]

🥶 (I forgot what deck was this)

[calm furnace]

extra hand size is insanely powerful you can discard and play 5 card hands and retain blue seal value

[tranquil steppe]

lol ohh

[wintry ice]

so yeah that makes it 9th out of 15

[last bolt]

oh

it was zodiac

[wintry ice]

replying to this

[ivory sun]

rip

[last bolt]

[tranquil steppe]

They see me trollin’

[calm furnace]

for me late last summer i decided to do best of 10 runs and did blue, yellow, painted, checkered and ghost and i got 7 in a row with painted

that is on gold stake

[wintry ice]

on the deck where ante 1 bs is good too

[calm furnace]

my biggest win streak and my highest w% are both on painted

[wintry ice]

that doesn't say much

[calm furnace]

at least for me its the easiest deck

aside from blue and yellow that are more cosnsistent

[tranquil steppe]

Cue “anecdote” comments

[wintry ice]

which makes us run into the issues of using anecdotes as factual statements

[tranquil steppe]

Lmao

There it is

[wintry ice]

?

[tranquil steppe]

Fuggin called that lmao

[wintry ice]

are you going to your judgement around 1 case or whag

[calm furnace]

arent opinions formed based on ones personal experience?

there are factual things like yellow and blue being the most consistent decks by game design itself.

[wintry ice]

how consistent a deck is is something that's definitively objective

[calm furnace]

if i had a gun to my head and had to get 80% win rate in a single day or i get shot im picking yellow or blue

[wintry ice]

yeah

those decks just start you with a massive advantage

[tranquil steppe]

Black or plasma would like to have a word

[calm furnace]

painted is easy but sometimes things can go against you beyond your control

[ivory sun]

he came back

[calm furnace]

i would take the gun and shoot myself before i do a run with black deck

[tranquil steppe]

Woooooooooo. Lord Canio shines upon you on this run

[wintry ice]

same goes for plasma because that deck is really weird to play

[tranquil steppe]

Plasma you have to remind yourself chips chips chips

[calm furnace]

yeah same. i get that some people are really good with it

but for me i dont know how to play plasma

[tranquil steppe]

Tis hard

[calm furnace]

yes, just get chip jokers but there is like 5 of them

[wintry ice]

the muscle memory from other decks doesn't carry over

[calm furnace]

LETS GOO

[tranquil steppe]

Runner is probably the easiest to build up assuming you get him early ish

[wintry ice]

this is just an instant win

[tranquil steppe]

And then stuff like toddchad can help

[wintry ice]

i'd say it's definitely wee

wee is borderline an instant win there

[calm furnace]

Wee

[dreamy creek]

balala

[tranquil steppe]

I’ve seen wee maybe 5/500 times

[nova mantle]

what is a harder gold sticker, astronomer, 8 ball or hack?

[wintry ice]

oppgordon

[dreamy creek]

i love bloodstone

[tranquil steppe]

Wee hates me

[wintry ice]

astronomer probably

[tranquil steppe]

We can be friends

[nova mantle]

aighty

[dreamy creek]

all are good jonklers

even 8 ball

[nova mantle]

ill get a total of one (1) sticker this run

[wintry ice]

hack is something you usually keep for longer in runs that like it

[calm furnace]

did not draw a single pair

[nova mantle]

8 ball 🥀

[wintry ice]

and 8 ball is a common

[dreamy creek]

8 ball isn't amazing but it can be used on something like abandoned

[calm furnace]

wtf

this one hurt

i hate the house so much

[dreamy creek]

😔

[wintry ice]

how did you fumble that

[dreamy creek]

should have gambled harder

[calm furnace]

didnt draw a single pair

[dreamy creek]

how is that possible

[wintry ice]

selling invis for safety was an option

[tranquil steppe]

What did you do to Lord Canio?

[lost vault]

sounds like a skill issue

[calm furnace]

what got me close to the score was me playing the upside down hand and it had a pair

but after that i didnt get a pair

[calm furnace]

yep

[nova mantle]

@calm furnace look at this bruh 😭

[calm furnace]

should have stuck with Hit the road and the previous setup

[nova mantle]

you can def get closer loses

[calm furnace]

this was one shotting

[nova mantle]

only part i agree on is that 8 ball aint amazing

[calm furnace]

omfg 😭

[wintry ice]

i'd have sold todd or the duplicate red card instead

[nova mantle]

jk i know 8 ball COULD be good, i just dont want to like it

[dreamy creek]

1/4 is secretlly 0/0

[calm furnace]

yeah its a fumble on my end because i had pair at like level 14

[wintry ice]

i've had some funny 8 ball pop offs

[calm furnace]

i needed neither todd or his friend steven

could have sold both and kept hit the road

the pair i played was a pair of jacks that could have been discarded for mult

[dreamy creek]

not enough gambling

[calm furnace]

i lost a run earlier with 0 bloodstone triggers on dusk hand

[wintry ice]

it would make sense to discard the top and then play the bottom cards if you keep htr

i literally said this when you posted it but average bloodstone run

[calm furnace]

now i think about there was no need to sell HtR

i had 6 jacks

the optimal would have been sell both odd todd and even steven for campfire

and win

[dreamy creek]

congragulations you have hit a 0.0977% chance occurance

[nova mantle]

astronomer gold sticker!! pretty quick and fun run

[dreamy creek]

buy a lottery ticket

w

[wintry ice]

invis is also unnecessary but it's the funny play so you're obligated to do it

[calm furnace]

can never say no to invis

[tame yacht]

I saw in an interview that localThunk mentioned he played a variant of Big 2 that he called Big Cheat. Have the rules to that variant ever been posted anywhere? I play Big 2 with friends and wanted to try that variant with them.

[hearty tundra]

If brainstorm/blueprint copy yorick do they double the discards or just multiply

[fervent wolf]

Stickered Mr. Bones and Troubadour

[nova mantle]

[trim notch]

[nova mantle]

[fervent wolf]

[proper turtle]

[calm furnace]

game is punishing you for not playing a pair

[calm furnace]

flat mult has no value with such builds
