[unborn cliff]

cool! im glad you skipped it

[faint linden]

I bought it

[unborn cliff]

cool! i'm hoping you sold it because you also had a campfire

[faint linden]

Never seen Campfire in the shop

[unborn cliff]

cool! i hope you like losing

[zinc willow]

I mean idk if that gives me more than X3 in the long run

[faint linden]

It has a Black Sticker on it...

[unborn cliff]

doesnt mean anything

throwback is a terrible joker and promotes a losing playstyle

i want to see it hanging in the street

[faint linden]

I just let Madness eat it

[unborn cliff]

-3 dollars

[faint linden]

Extra mult

[unborn cliff]

madness still scales even if it doesnt eat a joker

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

no drop bloodstone

[faint linden]

Really?

[unborn cliff]

read the card

it doesnt say it HAS to eat a joker

[zinc willow]

Bloodstone drop on ante 11? Jeez....

[faint linden]

Ohhhh

[unborn cliff]

it just scales and kills a joker

[serene forge]

that's reasonable

throwback sucks it should get eaten

[unborn cliff]

i prefer to see it wither away when you sell it

[faint linden]

Throwback > Bloodstone

[serene forge]

true

[unborn cliff]

kind of on the fence on making this joke

[zinc willow]

Alright, ill drop bloodstone

[silent quiver]

Shelby

Rides

The

Bussss

[silent quiver]

Wow

[unborn cliff]

is this joke too dark for the silly card game

[silent quiver]

Just a flash bang of a sentence is all

[zinc willow]

I fuckin hate you

[silent quiver]

I laughed

[unborn cliff]

yeah thats why i was on the fence

[faint linden]

Dark humor gets us through it

[unborn cliff]

[faint linden]

[sinful plaza]

[unborn cliff]

[idle haven]

gracias

[unborn cliff]

[idle haven]

its not too bad, a couple discards and i have full polychrome anyways

[light dome]

I have finished almost all the challenges

[unborn cliff]

did you really not pick up on the joke

[light dome]

Just the inflation + golden needle + jokerless are in my way

[idle haven]

no im a bit stupid

[unborn cliff]

the joke is sex

[idle haven]

ah

[unborn cliff]

that means you have to laugh

[idle haven]

🤣🤣

[unborn cliff]

thanks tenna

[hearty tundra]

This would be the kinda run i get on orange stake

Never get something this good on gold

[distant vault]

Tf is wrong with hologram

[idle haven]

[hearty tundra]

Holo

Holo hologram

[idle haven]

[unborn cliff]

pretty normal run for a guy like me... heh

[idle haven]

lalalalalalala i cant hear you

[unborn cliff]

your noob

[tropic umbra]

is it possible to build for straight flush without shortcut

[unborn cliff]

tarot card

[tropic umbra]

which

how do you build to draw one without shortcut or four finger

[unborn cliff]

any of them

the ones that change the cards probably

[tropic umbra]

insanity

[fervent wolf]

Square Joker is a +chips joker

[wintry ice]

no it's not

[fervent wolf]

Wrathful Joker gives +5 dollars for every 2 that is played and scored

[unreal island]

what

[pure cairn]

Correct setup for this high card build?

[fervent wolf]

This true

[unreal island]

use the hierophant

to get two soul hearts

[pure cairn]

Idk what you mean

I’m looking to see if I have the correct joker order/setup

[pale wolf]

how many jokers are there in the world

[hearty tundra]

When you guys play ancient do you build for face cards or numbers

[wintry ice]

numbered cards have a lower chance of getting debuffed

if you're using like photo with it you only need 1 face anyways

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[ancient gyro]

depending on poker hand

[serene forge]

I

[final garden]

this somehow fucking worked

idk why i didnt just pivot out of straights when i got trib but it worked

[atomic trout]

Bleh

Blah..

Not enough Blue Seals.

[final garden]

let me guess certificate run?

[atomic trout]

Nah

Cryptic

WAIT! I lied. I had Certificate and threw it in the trash

[high magnet]

How did you set this up?!!?

[acoustic kettle]

Death

[hollow nymph]

What's good my fellas?

[soft mango]

Had a really cool run that was ancient joker and hack with straight flushes A 5, 4, 3, 2 , 1.

Without reroll voucher i would've been screwed like 10 times but it got pretty far

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[terse vale]

I see toadsworth roped you into this too

[indigo wharf]

On a god seed right now....

[hearty tundra]

Im gonna win a gold stake yay

About time

[viral ledge]

whats the move (fortune teller is +5, hologram is x1.75)

[indigo wharf]

I need Dr. Spectred to tell me if I need to take invis joker 😭

[hearty tundra]

Gold stickering a legendary feels so good

W run

5 new gold stickers

[viral ledge]

any advice?

[indigo wharf]

Sell da one with the fist for bp

[atomic trout]

Kill Fist for Blueprint

[viral ledge]

what should i have blueprint copy?

[atomic trout]

Depends on the Tarot and Halluciation levels

And your deck

And the stakes you're on

And which Ante

[viral ledge]

im on blue deck white stake and the tarot and hologram levels are listed in the og message

[ornate bridge]

Hello! I was just gifted this game.

[indigo wharf]

Im trying to figure out if I need invis joker for this random seed nan inf run

[viral ledge]

im on ante 4

[atomic trout]

My best bet is Hallucination if it's high enough

Or you can Sock twice

[viral ledge]

its at 1.75

[atomic trout]

Best bet is to use Blueprint on Sock and Bucket on Face cards. I'm not sure about your Planet scales

[dreamy creek]

balalala

[viral ledge]

joker poker balala

[atomic trout]

Debuffed? Fuck That

Easiest boss

[distant vault]

Angry monkey truly angry

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[manic talon]

Photcohad but ass, 9+10 streak Pog

[nova mantle]

lusty joker just hanging there with its buddies

[candid niche]

bro

now i need an ecto

[languid heron]

Spot þe difference

[candid niche]

...stop trying to bring back the thorn

[bleak blaze]

MY GOD 😭 😭 😭

This is the craziest GS run Ive done

I didnt get trib until ante 7

And I was playing High Card

[candid niche]

the forbidden fruit...

zero luck finding ecto btw

[silk hull]

how does the seed system work with unlocks?
Like if a seed says X joker should appear, but you dont have it unlocked

[atomic trout]

How?

[pseudo cliff]

Balatro?

[atomic trout]

Too many Ahnks?

[candid niche]

eternal holo, ankhed it 3 times, eternal blueprint

and zero ectos

i think i die to ante 13 big blind

[signal frigate]

Balal

[signal frigate]

It'll get replaced with a random joker of either the same rarity or any joker in the pool

[candid niche]

...man. that was a good run

who knew hologram was good?

[signal frigate]

It's a great joker

[terse vale]

me

especially when I first started playing

[candid niche]

:sollyclueless:

[terse dock]

Ecto is homophobic

[atomic trout]

That's nasty, moldy too.

[candid niche]

what do i waste my money on: a nintendo Wii or a spectral pack

[terse dock]

Go next

[candid niche]

but i could get an immolate or something...

or an ankh

that would be fun

lets go spectral

[terse dock]

Deja Vu, Sigil

[candid niche]

...i got nothing

[terse dock]

Take it or leave it

[wintry ice]

screenshot it

[terse dock]

What did you get

[candid niche]

trance and the one that makes suits turn into suits

[wintry ice]

trance is insane

[terse dock]

Fuck you mean you got nothing

You have trance and burnt joker

[candid niche]

true...

[wintry ice]

blue seals are the strongest resource in the gsme

what else did you get

[manic talon]

my steak too juicy

[terse dock]

Sigil

[candid niche]

nothing funny

[terse dock]

Meh

[wintry ice]

what were the 2 other options

[terse dock]

Naw

[candid niche]

uhh, i forgot

[wintry ice]

ok tbf idk if i'd have gotten it instead of wee

[candid niche]

it was basically trash

[terse dock]

I wouldve went next

She has tempo enough from the burnt

[wintry ice]

wee is huge even with the chip generstion burnt gives

so

[candid niche]

yeah but we mess around

[terse dock]

Oxymoronic

[candid niche]

look, free xmult :3

[wintry ice]

oxygenated

[terse dock]

"Wee is huge"

[terse dock]

$8

[candid niche]

me when i hype her bowlie

i guess i can go next

burntbo is carrying me

[terse dock]

Nuh uh

[candid niche]

....i do need some more scoring though....

[terse dock]

That's an oxymoron

[candid niche]

luckily for me, i've been getting the suit boss blinds early on, so its not a challenge

[lavish compass]

holy

[candid niche]

yah i seriously need more scoring

buffoon pack, save me

....thanks guys

immediately blessed by rebate

[terse dock]

Const is good for long term

[candid niche]

yeah but i'm barely scraping by blinds

and ive gotten no enhancement tarots somehow

only suit changers

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[candid niche]

and im playing pairs

[terse dock]

If youre cooked then just reroll to 0 and pray for a misprint or popcorn or something

[candid niche]

surely 8 ball will generate some good tarots for me

[wintry ice]

you can say a wee is huge

[candid niche]

...tower. thanks

[terse dock]

doesnt make it any less oxymoronic

[candid niche]

immolate saves the day

[terse dock]

You can say jumbo shrimp too

[wintry ice]

holy buffoon pack

wait why did you take neither

[candid niche]

grimbo hates burnt and i havent been seeing planets at all, even with a blue seal

[wintry ice]

const is taken for long term value and +3 mult per round is still good enough

[terse dock]

Half a red card

[candid niche]

...the eye

its over

[bleak blaze]

I got an invis into another dusk and died at Ante 14

[terse dock]

Give me your seed

[candid niche]

i forgor

[terse dock]

Mf

[candid niche]

sorry :<

[atomic trout]

Jimbo..?

[wintry ice]

the route is burnt, wee, const and then win instantly

[fallow briar]

guys...

[atomic trout]

Do eet

[fallow briar]

my first ante 1 skip

[candid niche]

...ah :(

[fallow briar]

and i had a soul

its a triboulet

[wintry ice]

and a temp for it

given that this is black deck this is not quite a win

[candid niche]

black deck?? i was on ghost

[fallow briar]

its blue stake tho shouldnt be too hard

[candid niche]

oh im stupid

never mind

[fallow briar]

another one not bad \

i have 2 buffoons in shop do i take

[silk hull]

regular unscheduled violet vessel hate

[fallow briar]

guys?

baron?

take?

[candid niche]

why would you take baron with trib

[silk hull]

you have triboulet 😭

[fallow briar]

yeah i guess not then

[wintry ice]

i was refering to the ante 1 skip post

[wintry ice]

no.

[fallow briar]

why is everything eternal bro

[silk hull]

I don't even think baron is that good in ante 8 runs

[wintry ice]

if anything i'd grab walkie for security

[wintry ice]

it's one of the worst jokers for them infact

[candid niche]

guys, am i stupid for playing for the fun in orange stake

i mean, i want to unlock gold stake for everything eventually, but like

[silk hull]

I'm not too inclined to disagree but I didn't want to make people mad lol

[candid niche]

....i want to do stupid stuff

[wintry ice]

do it when you can affoard to

[candid niche]

man tf is this lineup

world's worst joker vs world's most ironic hourglass

[terse dock]

Matador isnt the worst

It sells for $3

[serene forge]

smartest bloodstone and photochad user

[candid niche]

about that

[terse dock]

Matador is $7 is it not

or is it $8

[serene forge]

7

[candid niche]

he's eternal

[serene forge]

uhh temperance value

[candid niche]

i dont want to get shafted with a useless joker for a little temperance value

[terse dock]

Motherfudger it blended in

[serene forge]

use the hex

[candid niche]

i lost anyways. bad luck with draws

[terse dock]

It can pop off

1/4 antes

[candid niche]

i got stuck with high cards :\

[terse dock]

Seed?

[candid niche]

i forgor

[terse dock]

...___...

[candid niche]

i dont usually look at the seed

[stark karma]

Actually a unique legendary idea I saw

[candid niche]

...since when does a J-7 straight not win the first round

[fallow briar]

cooking 🔥

[terse dock]

10+10+9+8+7 = 44

30+44 = 74

[candid niche]

....would spoker be funny here or no

[terse dock]

74*4 = 296

[terse dock]

Take crazy for tempo

[candid niche]

but spoker....

i like space joker a lot

crazy is ok i guess

[terse dock]

It's ante 1 round 2

You take spoker with a build

[candid niche]

true

[serene forge]

i hex sponkler ngl

keep a flush in hand and play pairs

[fallow briar]

guys which one do i take

[terse dock]

Skip

[fallow briar]

if i take showman i might get another trib in shop

r u sure?

[terse dock]

It's blueprint

[terse dock]

No you wont

[serene forge]

sell everything and hold r

[candid niche]

wdym skip thats John Blueprint

[serene forge]

thats not how it works

[terse dock]

no it isnt thats a foil astronomer

[fallow briar]

oh my bad ill take blueprint then

[candid niche]

oh yeah i was mistaken

[serene forge]

if youre ever thinking about taking a blowman the answer is probably no

[fallow briar]

do i play a flush here

[candid niche]

i immediately did something stupid

[hasty girder]

a straight should be more than enough

[candid niche]

i wonder why i lost

[fallow briar]

played a 2 pair :3

[candid niche]

hmmm

[lavish compass]

what a fucking seed

[candid niche]

yo, rick

[terse dock]

Save it

[fallow briar]

i might just be cooking here

[candid niche]

why are you running 8 ball

you're playing face cards only, you're never gonna play 8s

[fallow briar]

judgement from purple seal

i sold it just now

[fallow fog]

i wld actl sell the swash over eightball

cause the 8ball has a chance to give tarots

[candid niche]

true. the flatmult isnt doing too much

but like

[fallow fog]

i mean, moneys not rly an issue atm, so if i find eights i might play them

[candid niche]

...youre always getting some value from swash, while 8 ball is not used for the build and wildly inconsistent

[terse dock]

Before you sell it sell everything except for trib and bp

[fallow fog]

unfortunately its frekin inconsistent

[fallow fog]

is sock not worth copying

or because uncommon u think can find again

[terse dock]

It'll come back

[fallow fog]

ah

[fallow briar]

ok

[candid niche]

Jollymbo dies in 2 rounds. i need something support him before his passing

[fallow briar]

i kept sock because im greedy

[candid niche]

...arrowhead might be the best bet long term

what do you, the viewers, think?

[terse dock]

Execute him now and hex tbe arrowhead

[candid niche]

he died :3c

unknown causes

[terse dock]

testicle explosion chamber

[manic talon]

THIS SHIT SLAPS double throwback win lmao

[candid niche]

retroslop run, pack it up

[fallow briar]

which suit king to death?

[manic talon]

22

[terse dock]

Have you seen any suit bosses

[fallow briar]

no

[candid niche]

hearts in case of bloodstone imo

[fallow briar]

actually i saw spade edbuffed nvm

[terse dock]

Spades

[fallow briar]

i dont have a spade king in hand rn

[candid niche]

....might have been Pillar though

you never know

[fallow briar]

no it was all spades debuff i remember

[candid niche]

(or Plant or some secret third option)

[fallow briar]

i had pillar already first ante after i skipped and got trib

[manic talon]

it doesnt happen often and especially not when youre gold stake streaking

[candid niche]

i was making a joke .-.

[last bolt]

Should I go for it?

[terse dock]

The Chicot

debuffs all cards

[fallow briar]

if some boss blind doesnt mess you up this should be goo

good

[terse dock]

Yeah

[last bolt]

fire

[fallow briar]

guys did i beat this?

[candid niche]

i lost due to bad joker luck

meanwhile Daniel over here with his double blueprint trib run

[fallow briar]

black hole 💀

[manic talon]

a bad gambler blames their jokers

[candid niche]

yeah i blame my jokers. i was stuck with arrowhead drawing no spades

[fallow briar]

GUYS

[candid niche]

you're stealing my luck

get outta here

wow. so cool

i really hate both these jokers

[fallow briar]

bro isnt it so annoying when this seal shows up after your last discard?

i legit discarded 1 single card and this dude shows up

[candid niche]

this is why you play your hand with 1 discard left

[fallow briar]

i was tryna play 5 of a kind

[candid niche]

so play the card you would have discarded

[fallow briar]

i found baron again

[candid niche]

you win in 1 with that build its not like you need those rounds

[fallow briar]

i need the extra dollar

[terse dock]

Sis thats a round 1 castle

[candid niche]

[candid niche]

i dont like castle-

its never good

[terse dock]

Yeah and nobody likes green joker and yet

[fallow briar]

guess what ill get from judgement

[candid niche]

lets hope i get good jokers this time

[terse dock]

Juggler

[candid niche]

there are 144 options here, how are we supposed to guess

[fallow briar]

i got banana :3

[candid niche]

....man

this guy is stealing all my luck

[fallow briar]

i was gonna sell after this round anyways cuz of invis

[terse dock]

Forget i said anything I had a lapse in judgement

[fallow briar]

i got the baron for sell value

[candid niche]

...incredible! such great options

permenant sucky joker or joker that does literally nothing

[terse dock]

Hex the jolly

For funny

[candid niche]

its my only real option

[terse dock]

No you could go next

but thats boring

[fallow briar]

personally i would take swash and tank the blind

[candid niche]

i guess i go next from here

...maybe i should play a different deck

[fallow briar]

guys i have 3 bps now

[candid niche]

alright, Magic Deck, lets see you do something

(i only have Red Stake on Magic Deck)

oh man. the sweet sweet smell of having 3 discards again

...hm

....seltzer doesnt do much for me right now, but reserved isnt a great econ joker

[manic talon]

reserved parking is free money in the early game

[candid niche]

true

until the game gives me hands like these

actually wait

burner high cards

i'm stupid/a genius

[fallow briar]

[serene forge]

Cheese

[candid niche]

do i go gambling while discarding or gambling while scoring...

[serene forge]

me when I lie

[serene forge]

greedy is safer

[candid niche]

true

[exotic orchid]

I like misprint. But greedy joker is the safer route.

[serene forge]

but it doesn't matter too much

[lunar zealot]

ello ello

[candid niche]

the thing is with magic deck is that these fools arent doing anything until i find a direction for the run

[atomic trout]

This is getting nuts

[fallow briar]

which joker do i grab?

bp sock or trib?

[atomic trout]

That's insane!

[fallow briar]

ill grab a bp and place it at the beggining

[worthy fossil]

pretty decent start for gold stake

[lunar zealot]

it's good

[fallow briar]

my wheel of fortune just hit god knows what

[candid niche]

just ship it

we know you won

[fallow briar]

2 new discoveries? what? i have everything but chicot

[eager summit]

[coral tendon]

[fringe crest]

[candid niche]

rick would be too hard to scale this late, canio too

especially with trib

...perkeo could be nice, and chicot...

uh. chicot exists

[fringe crest]

no

[coral tendon]

chicot wouldve been good but im not gonna risk the 1/3 honestly

[fringe crest]

you dont take the soul

[coral tendon]

i mean i say that but hit the 1/4 for trib

[fringe crest]

do not take soul

[fallow briar]

realistically is it possible for me to get any better than this? like maybe in some parallel universe iget negative showman and negative blueprint after but idk how i can get more lucky

[fringe crest]

show me your deck and vouchers

[fringe crest]

youve only taken one anti matter?

[candid niche]

tfym one antimatter

[fallow briar]

do i take negative tag

[coral tendon]

ofc showman appears now

[fringe crest]

no i dont think so

[coral tendon]

i cant take him because i dont have enough space

[fallow briar]

so i just hold on to double tag forever?

[fringe crest]

no

[fallow briar]

or maybe a spectral

[fringe crest]

wait for voucher

[fallow briar]

another ecto

[fringe crest]

no

you like

[candid niche]

voucher

[fringe crest]

wanna do voucher

[candid niche]

with no paintbrush? ecto will ruin your run

[fringe crest]

yeah

[fallow briar]

ok fair

[fringe crest]

you need paintbrush

or potentially

another nat neg that boosts hand size

[candid niche]

troubador or juggler

or secret 3rd option

[fringe crest]

bean

[coral tendon]

should i be printing trib here or something else

[fringe crest]

yeah prob js trib

[coral tendon]

mk

the only one i was thinking otherwise would be sockl

[lavish compass]

dna

[coral tendon]

real

[fallow briar]

whats the best order for me?

[candid niche]

....bud

you need to split your blueprints mostly evenly between sock and trib

[fallow briar]

rn i clear just fine with all on sock but i needa know for later

[last falcon]

My whole life, I've felt like I was "broken" when it came to this stuff. I'm asexual and aromantic. I don't look at people and feel that. Honestly, most porn makes me feel kinda sick. I figured my wiring was just... different, and that was that.

But then there's Balatro.

It sounds like a joke, I know. It sounds like a bad meme. It's not. It's the most confusing, shameful, and real thing I've ever dealt with.

I'm not talking about jokers with cute art. I'm talking about the pure, raw gameplay. A perfectly built up economy. A clean, tight boss blind where every hand and discard matters. A smooth, flowing strategy with impossible-looking pivots. Watching a really well-played, difficult yet somehow possible gold stake win gets me so... intensely, physically worked up that I can't control it. It's a direct, involuntary physical reaction. I've had to stop watching DrSpectred and Roffle because of it. It’s that powerful, and that embarrassing.

After reading that other post, I fell down a rabbit hole trying to understand why. The closest thing I've found that makes sense is that it's not actually a fetish. A fetish is when you're attracted to something. I'm not attracted to the joker. It's more like my brain completely misfires.

The satisfaction I get from watching perfect gameplay, the triggers, the precision, the visual ASMR of it all, its so powerful that my brain seems to misinterpret that flood of "YES, THIS IS PERFECT" feeling as sexual arousal. My body just follows orders from the wrong signal. It's apparently a real, studied thing: a "misattribution of a non-sexual stimulus."

So... yeah. I'm the guy who has to take a cold shower after watching a good Perkeo-less naneinf. It feels pathetic to type out, but there it is. If there's anyone else out there who gets it, even a little... hi. You're not a monster. You're just wired in a really, really weird way.

[candid niche]

put 2 prints on trib and 1 on sock

[fallow briar]

and the brain?

[candid niche]

doesnt matter

theyre even, so it doesnt matter

[fallow briar]

ok so split evenly makes sense

im not taking this soul but thats actually crazy

[candid niche]

basically the math here is:
option a, copy sock with everything = 2x * retriggers (copies)
option b, copy trib with everything = (2^copies)x * socks
option c, copy evenly. even copies result in a closer number on either side, and when you combine them it is a bigger number (ie. 4*8 < 6*6)

thats the premise of plasma deck, so it definitely applies here too

[fallow briar]

yeah ok

x2 ^ (1*6) vs x2 ^ (3*3)

[candid niche]

good job

[gentle canopy]

I did it

Was it worth it?

[candid niche]

i don't know

[unreal iron]

[fallow briar]

[gentle canopy]

It’s finally over

[unreal iron]

[sacred trench]

What should I do

[candid niche]

i was like "finally, trib" HAHA NO I HAVE NO FACE CARDS

[unreal iron]

photo?

[fallow briar]

i dont think so unless photo but you could copy drunkard

[unreal iron]

and then you also need to sell juggler and chad

[fallow briar]

oh thats a juggler

[west python]

Soo I should pass that swashbuckler

[fallow briar]

im blind sorry

[unreal iron]

take buckler for chad its decent +mult

you gotta either spam pairs or high card tho

[west python]

Okay

[coral tendon]

as long as i dont hit the 1/9 chance of drunk everything is a good thing

[unreal iron]

then telescope and go next

your goal is to spam pairs

high card is kinda weak sometimes

[candid niche]

man

literally the worst legendary i could have gotten

i mean, yay, temperance value

...but its not yorick

[fallow briar]

take?

[sacred trench]

Orange stake win with shoot the moon

[fallow briar]

[sacred trench]

[wind jolt]

Reroll 4 times & never buy anything

Trust

[sacred trench]

Oh yeah I just won with shoot the moon

And mine

I have one last gold stake run before being C+

[fallow briar]

is dusk instead of oops better ?

[coral tendon]

why r one of the cards red

[fallow briar]

i think those are the ones that got copied

[coral tendon]

ok

cool

im scared

im gonna get slimed if this is wrong

but dna is far left atm

and trib is 2nd

oh im cooked

i didnt realise that some of the cards were spades so i can only play a 5 of a kind instead of flush 5

[sacred trench]

I think the most impressive gold stake joker I got was Gros Micheal

[coral tendon]

omg we won

[sacred trench]

Oh and I got Chicot to Gold Stake before Perko

[west python]

I lost bc my WiFi didn't gave me announcement about ur msg 🙏

Well I did good

[candid niche]

we tok tok tok with this run

[coral tendon]

i fw i

new high

[candid niche]

spoker is sleeping right now

he has activated once in like 8 hands

and he wakes up on a high card burner hand

thanks spoker for leveling pair once

and then doing literally nothing for the build

[leaden canopy]

Do you think Wild Cards would get an update?

Like, be immune to every suit boss or something?

[dark cairn]

WTF IS THIS SEED
chicot from 1st arcana pack
first lucky card gives $20
first wheel gives foil on chicot
crystal ball and telescope as first vouchers
ante 2 rocket and blueprint
i wish this was gold stake bro

oh and also ive found like 3 temperances 2 hanged men and 2 fools already

[fallow briar]

time to sell oops

[dark cairn]

got another 20 bucks from my 3rd lucky card trigger 😭

omen globe ante 3

what the fuck is happening

then got a foil trading card from a buffoon pack...

this is what we call "getting a run handed to you on a silver platter"

[fallow briar]

thats a pricey reroll

[dark cairn]

hmmmm

red card or spare trousers

i already have 9 mult on red card and level 3 pair

i think ill keep the red card

[lavish gazelle]

Trousers would scale better but pair is a better hand than two pair

So yeah probably red card

[fallow briar]

do i sell anything?

im gonna sell the brainstorm

[dark cairn]

oh my god and a burnt joker

well now i have to choose if i want a foil trading card or a burnt joker

ngl since its zodiac deck and i have telescope i dont think i need burnt joker that much

[frank raft]

i think so

[fallow briar]

a bit late lol

[frank raft]

the extra retriggers on trib and idol are worth more then garentueed bloodstone

mb

did you do it

[fallow briar]

nah but i sold it eventually

[frank raft]

whats ur hand size

[sacred trench]

Guys I just got C+

[barren wigeon]

looks inside

[sacred trench]

Photochad

For the win

[fallow briar]

i hit too many wheels and now i cant anymore xd

[manic talon]

23 streak, Strongest cat (idk what i expected i only got 2 luckies and i bought it at ante 8 its never gonna do anything)

[fallow briar]

got the sticker though

[cosmic harbor]

chat what do i do here

[exotic orchid]

How much base mult do you have.

[cosmic harbor]

not a lot

[exotic orchid]

Whats castles at

[cosmic harbor]

51

i think i sell the flush joker and chicot here right?

but idw sell my legendary

[exotic orchid]

I would say sell chicot and the other chip joker. But it kinda feels wrong. 😬

[exotic orchid]

Yeah

If your hands were a bit bigger i would have said sell both chip jokers.

[cosmic harbor]

yep but the game refuses to give me planet packs

[exotic orchid]

You have a good setup though. Build for pairs. And you can get through any ante upto 8.

Dont go for any other hands. Because everything gets haywire with hollowgram. Pairs is the way to go.

[untold walrus]

What does this say? My phones broken and I can’t see what this says. What does it say guys?

[exotic orchid]

Red card?

[untold walrus]

Ye

Idk what it does

[exotic orchid]

It gets +3 mult for every skipped booster pack

Its a good card.

Probably not useful with vampire unless you get a midas mask.

[untold walrus]

Now what does this say?

[exotic orchid]

But yeah its very valuable. More than vampire. Because you can scale it quick.

[untold walrus]

Pls

I need help

[exotic orchid]

:| full house +3 levels.

[untold walrus]

Thx

[cosmic harbor]

uhh

ive pulled another soul

but still no planet packs

and no mecuries

[exotic orchid]

Lol

[exotic orchid]

I guess sell the castle then.

[fallow briar]

round 67

[dark cairn]

[fallow briar]

[dark cairn]

im gonna change my tag to #2 zodiac fan

[tranquil cargo]

what happened, 0 hand size?

[errant brook]

success

The irony that my last time playing this over a week ago I lost due to the worst RNG possible at ante 31, and then the very next game I play a week later I finally get this losing streak off my back

Now to do other things...

[vagrant shore]

Thanks alot!

[heady narwhal]

so you can have a polychrome lucky 10 of diamonds

[fallow fog]

ayy

merry christmas

[loud oxide]

Not sure what to replace

Throw back is good-

[pale wolf]

abstract because it doesn't contribute to photo chad

[acoustic kettle]

It is 15 mult

[shut escarp]

maybe dont replace it?

just next

[pale wolf]

Yes, and not say 30 mult or something better than that

no you do actually take the throwback here

what you don't do is skip to keep feeding it

[timber dove]

what stake is it?

[acoustic kettle]

[pale wolf]

?? it's right there

they didn't crop

[loud oxide]

Raw

[shut escarp]

oh i thought throwback is bad

[loud oxide]

nah it’s a clutch card

[shut escarp]

because if you keep skipping

[acoustic kettle]

Well it is

[loud oxide]

Skipping blind people 💅

*blinds

[timber dove]

throwback goat

[acoustic kettle]

But it is 1.75x already

[loud oxide]

It’s 2 now

[acoustic kettle]

Why are you skipping anyway

Do you not want to use the dna

[pale wolf]

it is bad, but it represents more scoring to your build than abstract does

[loud oxide]

The extra cash and jokers

[pale wolf]

bad things are sometimes good in context, the context of being that you skipped way too much probably

[shut escarp]

ohhhh i see

yeah thats tru

[acoustic kettle]

Having dna and then skipping a lot is

[loud oxide]

I’m kinda scared of DNA ngl 😭 that one extra hand could win me the game

[acoustic kettle]

Definitely a choice

[acoustic kettle]

What are you copying

[loud oxide]

Face cards

[acoustic kettle]

Yeah duh

😭

[loud oxide]

I meant like any face card that I can copy-

Is that bad 🗿

[acoustic kettle]

Copying base cards isn't really that good

[loud oxide]

OH yeh ofc

[shadow spruce]

three stickers at once is unprecedented

thanks marble + brainstorm

[barren wigeon]

WHY ARE THEY SAD

WHATS WRONG WITH YOU

[shadow spruce]

It's my resource pack

[barren wigeon]

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

[shadow spruce]

I hate jokerkind and I want to make them sad

[neat ore]

I wonder how chicot looks like

[trim rover]

I found the definition of a pair build

it's beautiful

[neat ore]

I wanna touch it

[shadow spruce]

the look on that face is clearly objecting

[pale wolf]

check this out

[neat ore]

Is trib... under the luchador mask

[trim rover]

plus this run rn also has $50 temperance each time I find one

[barren wigeon]

wait wtf how do you have 3 jokers gold stake

how did you achieve this

[trim rover]

I have more

[willow frost]

they dont have to be different

and also you dont need a ton of jokers

[barren wigeon]

ok but like

Why

[shadow spruce]

they took fat jimbo (+4 mult, takes up 3 joker slots)

[barren wigeon]

why would you only use 3 jokers

[willow frost]

idk many copies of joker stencil is a strat

[tranquil steppe]

Wut

[pale wolf]

It's very easy to happen, you simply duplicate one of photochad, and then run into leaf

[trim rover]

I had TRASH econ my first gold stake win

[pale wolf]

sell joker four Jokers left, two of them are duplicates which means three Jokers stickers

[trim rover]

I had ride the bus and stencil from the start yeahitschips

[barren wigeon]

painted deck leaf maybe?

idk

[tender bone]

I’m playing the Medusa challenge, is it better to upgrade Pluto and play 5 stone cards every time or level up another hand?

[barren wigeon]

ah

[trim rover]

[barren wigeon]

[trim rover]

stencil ride the bus and a chips joker

[barren wigeon]

idk how you have bad econ on yellow deck but ok

[willow frost]

[barren wigeon]

if it works it works

[trim rover]

that's how

im usually okay with econ

[shadow spruce]

these two godless bastards aren't showing up no matter how early i make their respective enhancements

[barren wigeon]

Probably wasn't a great idea but you got the win

[shadow spruce]

by the way yes i did forget to make steel joker sad

[trim rover]

wtv works

[barren wigeon]

why would you ever want stone joker

[shadow spruce]
