[potent tree]

ah lol

[silent oxide]

This run was so fun

It feels like uuh

1 sec

[potent tree]

i'm braver to use ecto if it's a pair run

[silent oxide]

||the end of that one book where the dude is like shooting the other guy like the book with like the guy with the mouse||

[potent tree]

even with paintbrush and palette i still hesitate to ecto in 4/5 card hand runs

i did make use of juggler bean bug once though

[silent oxide]

First ecto comes naturally to me

[candid niche]

....wow, thanks showman

[silent oxide]

Cause I'm dumb as fucken bricks

[candid niche]

really useful joker there

[silent oxide]

That showman is better

Buy it

[potent tree]

helps with scoring

[silent oxide]

Rule of thumb

[candid niche]

ooh my sweet sweet 50 chips

[potent tree]

plus temperance in arcana pack trust

[candid niche]

....oh wait, i'm gonna lose to ante 12

[potent tree]

❓

[candid niche]

nah i got plant ante 4

[potent tree]

ah

[candid niche]

and used glass to make him suffer

[potent tree]

flint?

[candid niche]

its over

i just don't have good hands

ive been playing full house for some reason

[potent tree]

never say never

fight till you can't. play all your non faces

well

have you concentrated on 2 face ranks?

[candid niche]

we got halfway

[candid niche]

i have had horrible luck with deckfixing

[potent tree]

ah. how unfortunate

[candid niche]

very few hanged man

very few death

almost no strength

i got like, 1 strength and turned 10s into jacks

[compact halo]

Man.

[swift vigil]

The plant strikes yet again

[icy hollow]

Nice black deck gs run with a random perkeo appearing in ante 8 lol

Unlimitted xmult fr 🗣️ 🔥

Forgot to sell erosion but its fine

Also forgot to sell perkeo for stencil xmult

But also fine lol

[patent prairie]

do i have enough deck fixing for idol to make sense?

i think i will just take it in place of photo

[vocal rose]

absolutely not

[patent prairie]

TOO LATE i took it anyway ❤️

like you sent that after i took it

[blissful fog]

Fortune teller + vagabond really good combo

[lunar zealot]

It's fine

[obsidian patrol]

its pretty good

its like on average 4 mult per round

Not counting tarots in the shop

[neat ore]

Naneif

With only sly joker!!!

[abstract rivet]

Fortune teller with vagabond + blueprint and burglar

Is crazy

You generate so many tarot cards that its hard to even use them all

[blissful fog]

Also had midas for econ when I accumulated enough gold face cards

[abstract rivet]

And if you get glass or steel joker it goes insane

[neat ore]

What about the last slot

What's there

[blissful fog]

Any joker ig

Maybe xmult or somethin

[neat ore]

The duo

[blissful fog]

Does blueprint work on vagabond right?

[wary zodiac]

what are the odds of getting ante 2 antimatter 😭

[blissful fog]

Quite rare

Actually insane

[wary zodiac]

its not even useful rn 😭 😭

its really funny though

[blissful fog]

It's a good investment

[wary zodiac]

for sure

im gonna play one more round for the interest though

[blissful fog]

Ight

[pulsar forge]

it's literally the same as getting any other voucher at that point, no?

same thing as getting blank two antes in a row

[lunar zealot]

what's the opposite of being happy

this fucking run is not making me happy

[pulsar forge]

ew

[lunar zealot]

i am trying to find cavendish

[obsidian patrol]

Looks inside

Reasonable run

[lunar zealot]

i score an average of 20k

nope

[exotic orchid]

This setup can win ante 8.

[lunar zealot]

oh i found acrobat

maybe god loves me after all

[exotic orchid]

You can spam pair and increase the ride the bus.

[lunar zealot]

oh my god i know

[exotic orchid]

You have tons of hands.

[lunar zealot]

boss blind is crimson heart hm

i have to dig for cavendish

welp i tried

[icy hollow]

Barely had to reroll for both of them lol

Funny negative skip at the end for carto and arrowhead to do nothing 🗣️ 🔥

[lunar zealot]

ACROBAT DISABLED ON THE LAST FUCKING HAND LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[exotic orchid]

Gg

[blissful fog]

Tragic

[night turret]

Genuinely asking, should I risk and go for the wraith or the ectoplasm so that it hits the eternal

[night turret]

RIP run

[lunar zealot]

there goes my winstreak

(winstreak of 1)

[brazen island]

Yk what? I’ve been saying swashbuckler + egg is mid for a while because the scaling isn’t that great but I changed my mind because I love holding the egg and it rewards me for it

Goated combo

I’m back on board baby

[night turret]

Lmao higest I ever had was like 12

[lunar zealot]

swash egg is flawed because it costs 2 joker slots for less scaling than bus or red card

[night turret]

Also temperance is so good

[lunar zealot]

the scaling itself is not its weak point

it's the joker slot requirement

[night turret]

Instant 30-40 if you have it

[brazen island]

Yes but I already want the egg. I want to keep the egg.

The egg rules

[night turret]

Me when I’m a mother hen

[brazen island]

So I get to do that

And get free mult in exchange

It’s awesome

I hate feeling like I have to sell the egg

So sad

😢

[night turret]

Hey but you still get a shit ton of money

[brazen island]

Yeah from temperance because I keep the egg

And swashbuckler says “hey man that’s cool you can hold onto that egg for the whole game

[night turret]

OMG THE WRAITH FUCKING HIT

[lunar zealot]

i guess we're playing straights now

[celest roost]

Oh so it can't take that many cards in my deck?

[night turret]

Always didn’t like flower pot

[lunar zealot]

flower pot is uncommon order

surprisingly good on specifically straights

[night turret]

Unless it’s all wild cards, pretty hard to get a activation

[abstract rivet]

Don't necessarily need all wild cards

[lunar zealot]

oh yeah we're definitely playing straights

[abstract rivet]

Even just 1 or 2 helps

[night turret]

Holy shit 4.5 times mult if it hits

[brazen island]

Shaping up to be the worlds greatest pair build 🔥

[main wolf]

This game can be so god damn stupid sometimes..
Just trying to progress stakes and i get an ante 1 trib invis only to then see that last time i reset the run it put me back to my previous stake instead of the one id next been doing
Why does this bs happen? IOS

[night turret]

I mean it is negative

[neat ore]

Honestly smeared joker is what I would take instead of abstract

[lunar zealot]

the funniest part about this build is that technically i can beat this blind by just playing 2 more pairs

thanks to polychrome order constell and campfire

but fuck it i want to play straights

[night turret]

Ah fuck, one of my favs… or scary face

[lunar zealot]

gg

[neat ore]

I prefer playing straight house

[lunar zealot]

the goats

[night turret]

Nice, what did you get gold sticker now

[lunar zealot]

oh i have c++ already

[night turret]

Oh damn, then why isn’t it showing?

[lunar zealot]

good lord lmao

[lunar zealot]

i have stake stickers turned off because it looks cleaner

[maiden sparrow]

Got this on the first shop I walked into.

A match made in Joker's heaven! 😇💞

[night turret]

THATS AN OPTION?!

[obsidian patrol]

boss blind tier list

[night turret]

Where is it, I need it turned off

[lunar zealot]

arm and tooth are worse than you think

at least long term

eye can kill nova and card sharp runs

[night turret]

You think the needle is worse then the plant themselfs?

[obsidian patrol]

they are bad but arent total run killers

[lunar zealot]

and crimson heart definitely kills runs

[obsidian patrol]

easily

[lunar zealot]

never underestimate heart

[obsidian patrol]

updated

[night turret]

Oh no heart is definitely a nightmare

[floral mural]

plant is highly exaggerated by newer players

[acoustic kettle]

Plant is a weaker boss

[night turret]

Yeah, the boss 8 antes
is rigtt by where it belongs

[floral mural]

most builds realistically dont use face cards for scoring

[lunar zealot]

lmfao

oh my god the boss blind is the head

[vale shale]

Wha who pinged me

[echo tartan]

i think you could bump up manacle and pillar specifically because of how diabolical they are on ante 1

[obsidian patrol]

even if you are using photochad you can still be mostly fine

[night turret]

At that point, don’t pick it up lmao

[floral mural]

yeah glass

[lunar zealot]

ez money

[obsidian patrol]

still worth it lol

rental is 3 bucks it'll make you atleast 4

[night turret]

Pillar on ante one is a fine boss to go against

[floral mural]

hook is the worst ante 1 boss tbh

[echo tartan]

okay on second thought i agree with you on that

[night turret]

IMO, all you need to do it play a good one off hand each time and you’ll be fine

[night turret]

Oh fucking DEFINITELY

[lunar zealot]

oh!

[floral mural]

isnt that an easy win (probably)

[night turret]

Side note, I love the art on vagabond, who did that art btw

[echo tartan]

lumpytouch?

pretty sure that's their tag

[night turret]

Let me go look them up

[obsidian patrol]

according to the wiki

[echo tartan]

yeah

one of two jokers they made for the game

other one wasn't implemented

[acoustic kettle]

The homeless man art being the most expensive

[night turret]

Wait I know this dude

I used to watch his streams lmaooo

[floral mural]

its to make getting to under 4 dollars easier

[night turret]

That’s why I liked the art

[floral mural]

(and because the effect is so good)

[lunar zealot]

I GREEDED

[lavish gazelle]

Never greed

[tame sluice]

Always greed.

[night turret]

Maybe greed?

[main wolf]

Gamble your greed

[maiden sparrow]

Things somehow got... better?

[tame sluice]

y we got lusty in ante 7

[quasi yew]

bro

[maiden sparrow]

Placeholder for something. Invisible Joker came shortly after, and when I sold it, it gave me another Baron.

I was trying to main a Hearts-heavy deck with lots of Kings.

[stiff thistle]

WINNING!

[quasi yew]

gg

[maiden sparrow]

So... This is what I have going now:

Violet Vessel is who I'm up against as the final boss.

[stiff thistle]

First Gold Stake Win
Throwback and Acrobat combo 🙏

[maiden sparrow]

Should I dare to get the Steel Joker? Mult for it at the moment is 1.8X...

My conscience seems to be against it. I already have a good thing going, why waste it?

[lunar zealot]

better than smiley by a negligible amount

[maiden sparrow]

Oh.

I went ahead without it...

[pale wolf]

depends on planet levels

[pale wolf]

oh yeah you 100% shouldve taken it

[wary zodiac]

do i have to kill showman? ):

[maiden sparrow]

Whoops...

[shell dagger]

no you can drop dna

[wary zodiac]

dna is like

four handsize

thats pretty significant

[shell dagger]

what do you think perkeo is doing

also stop using cryptids

[wary zodiac]

ohh

im stupid

i forgot about the cryptids 😭

yeah i'll kill dna

[main wolf]

ONLY UP FROM HERE

[wary zodiac]

holy

[stiff thistle]

I MEAN I’M ONLY AIMING FOR C+ BUT MAYBE I’LL GET C++, WHO KNOWS

[wary zodiac]

two steels is e13

this seed is insane bro 😭

is it about time i take a second ecto or is it unnecessary

i could probably wait

i have a lot of time before it matters actually

i'll probably take it

[shell dagger]

if you take it and wait then you run the risk of perkeo copying it and not cryptids

[wary zodiac]

i mean i could get it later

[shell dagger]

do you need cryptids to survive rn?

[wary zodiac]

because of omen globe and ghost deck

[wary zodiac]

nope

[shell dagger]

so

[wary zodiac]

i have quite a bit of time

[shell dagger]

why are you using them

[wary zodiac]

im about to stop

i was using them to copy gold cards and farm money

[lunar zealot]

better to use rebate for that

[wary zodiac]

probably true

[lunar zealot]

you should have started duping cryptids 6 antes ago

and never stopped

you're on ghost deck

[wary zodiac]

yes

.,,,

[drifting flicker]

is uh- is the game supposed to crash when you bottom out your deck 😭

[ivory bridge]

How yall remember the name of each jokers

[shell dagger]

too much time spent playing this game

[wary zodiac]

hmmm

[floral mural]

i had midas mask ante 1 round 1 and only took 3 rounds to get everything done nice

[wary zodiac]

beautiful

[ivory bridge]

You know how can i customize a deck ,i want a no face deck with that one joker with a bus

[shell dagger]

the abandoned deck starts off with that

I can’t remember how you unlock it

[ivory bridge]

Ye and how can i have the jokers

[ivory bridge]

I have it

[shell dagger]

you get them in the shop

it’s not a sandbox mode

[ivory bridge]

No i mean it already there

[shell dagger]

you can’t then

[ivory bridge]

How can i make it sandbox

[shell dagger]

mods

[ivory bridge]

On mobile?

[shell dagger]

then you can’t

[ivory bridge]

Im cursing your next 5 games with that egg

[floral mural]

matador doesnt work on tooth right?

[wary zodiac]

which one do i take

[acoustic kettle]

Take the skip button

[wary zodiac]

the greatest showman

two brainstorms in a row

wtf do i drop for it

is it time to kill showman

😭

yeah

its time

[shell dagger]

it’s good enough

a blueprint would be slightly better scoring but I don’t think it’s enough to hold off as you’ll lose cryptid production

[wary zodiac]

yeah

i always copy mime, right?

[shell dagger]

brainstorms go on baron, blueprints go on mime

[maiden sparrow]

Brainstorm just came in! Who do I drop?

I think Throwback is likeliest to go (currently X3).

[shell dagger]

it is

[maiden sparrow]

I had a very close call getting here, my last hand saved my butt.

So yeah, I think I will drop Throwback.

Who do I get Brainstorm to focus on? Hanging Chad?

[shell dagger]

Depends how many kings you have held in hand

And what flavour they are

[maiden sparrow]

All in all, my deck has 16 Kings, but my hand size is 8.

All Hearts.

[shell dagger]

Enhancements?

[maiden sparrow]

I'm trying to get them all to be Red Seal and Steel.

[shell dagger]

Copy mime

[maiden sparrow]

Alright then.

Uhh...

What is happening?!

Do I take the fancy Blueprint or do I leave it be?

I don't want to flub this.

[wary zodiac]

two baron retriggers and four mime retriggers

alr!

also thought this was kinda funny

this could save my run

[wary zodiac]

wtf

this increased my score by like 10 e's

did i use an extra cryptid?? 😭

how does this work if thats intented?

copying baron or mime should do the same thing, right?

[shell dagger]

no

best score comes from balancing triggers and scoring effects

essentially you want to make a rectangle with the biggest area (score) with limited perimeter (joker slots)

and the best thing is a square

[wary zodiac]

okay i think i understand a little more now 😭

is it time i take another ecto?

[vague kettle]

hyperoptimizing a seed i found rn

[wary zodiac]

do i have enough cryptids?

[vague kettle]

how are yall

[wary zodiac]

showman keeps haunting me

[shell dagger]

I wouldn’t ever take another ecto

[wary zodiac]

it shows up literally every shop ..,,

[wary zodiac]

yeah fair

[wary zodiac]

wonderful

[vague kettle]

is observatory jupiter or cryptid more good

[wary zodiac]

doing my very first ever high score run

[vague kettle]

now i understand yalls pain

[wary zodiac]

depends on your current setup

i think

im not qualified to answer 😭

with perkeo both can naneinf, thats as much as i know

[vague kettle]

anyway this seed im hyperoptimizing

its double polychrome burnt joker high card

ghost deck only for the hex

and spectrals in shop

[maiden sparrow]

Well... Only way I could see myself saved is by flopping to a different suit. Think I could be able to convert most of my 19 Kings quickly enough before then?

[hushed dust]

pretty sure im cooked, anyone know what I could do here to get the highest score possible

[fallow fog]

whys ur perkeo being useless

not that it matters now its too late

[hushed dust]

used the death card out of desperation this hand

[fallow fog]

ahh

[fallow fog]

i think this is the highest score

a mime goes hard

but ur broke

[hushed dust]

this is the first time I went beyond ante 11 so ig I should be happy lol

I got the game few days ago

[regal sigil]

did you get a baron

[hushed dust]

I rolled an insane amount but never got baron

[manic talon]

Michel just died, got Cavendish to replace it

[hushed dust]

I had all the shop vouchers and discounts aswell

[manic talon]

oh the real one shown up too

[fallow fog]

bye eightball

[manic talon]

EZ 27 streak pog

[wary zodiac]

oh you're joking ):

how have i not gotten reroll

[regal sigil]

shiii

[wary zodiac]

did i get it and forget to take it?

i didn't actually get a video of my score

wp

[regal sigil]

maybe you didnt

but highly unlikely

[shell dagger]

ouch

[wary zodiac]

depression

[maiden sparrow]

Yep... I'm toast.

Didn't even make it to the Boss Blind, but it was a VERY good run!

[wary zodiac]

doomed yuri

[wary zodiac]

well played!

[wary zodiac]

every loss to the needle feels like its stabbing you in the eye

[maiden sparrow]

This Challenge Mode seed absolutely BLESSED me, for all what it was worth.

Blueprint, Photo-Chad and Double Baron-Mime? I was just FLYING!

[jade arch]

Wait, the soul can appear on spectral packs?

[shell dagger]

it is a spectral card after all

[manic talon]

Straight flush run REAL

[rugged bloom]

need smeared for that

[manic talon]

just lock in

[rugged bloom]

do i take the baron

i have 10 kings

[distant salmon]

yea'

[rugged bloom]

baron build achieved

just waiting for a mime now

[timber pecan]

The Water moment at gold needle

[civic shadow]

I won my first run today and also got the speedrun achievement :D

[royal bobcat]

Hey my fellow c++ers should I add anything to this list

Or like, change wording

[royal bobcat]

Gj!

[sullen mica]

does four fingers help in making flush houses**?

[narrow igloo]

no

[sullen mica]

: (

[noble fossil]

My Gros Michel extincted right after I defeated ante 8 in gold stake 🙁

[shell dagger]

Yeah, you still need full house (5cards) but only 4 need to be the same suit

[fallow fog]

ur helping a friend?

‘look at whats most likely to kill you’ can be rephrased to ‘know where your scoring is coming from’ - jokers, planets, enhancements (on card trigger or joker trigger) + is the hand difficult to make discards wise

or it could be a separate point

[ancient gyro]

nah

[fallow fog]

thats a small deck

[thorny axle]

where do i find this level of deckfixing (askign for a friend)

[ancient gyro]

money

[gloomy swallow]

One more joker gold staked! (Loyalty card)

[thorny axle]

why so loyal?

[gloomy swallow]

And another one! (Delayed gratif)

both runs were erosion runs LMFAO

[honest dawn]

It's difficult, but since it's common, I find it easier than Bean.

If you keep playing, you'll get it eventually.

[brave fox]

Cheers to the new year fellas, really looking forward to the future of this game

[blissful fog]

Whhyyy 😭

[latent egret]

why do you have 1$ round 4

and no rentals

[shell dagger]

maybe they bought a voucher

[blissful fog]

Gambled on a pack with less than 7 dollars and got shitty cards inside

[latent egret]

so now you know why

[gritty lodge]

just won for the first time im the goat

[latent egret]

the only one worth taking ante 1 is grabber

[shell dagger]

i take paintbrush

[latent egret]

and it dont look like that to me

[shell dagger]

and overstock

[kind creek]

On one hand, trading card is absolutely goated for deck fixing, especially ante 1 ROUND 1.

On the other, this is nebula deck, I will be spending as much as I possibly can on planets and raw gem is stronger for that. 3$/round vs up to 5$/hand

[shell dagger]

Ik they don’t have overstock

[latent egret]

os valid

[latent egret]

tc

all day any day

[shell dagger]

comfortably trading card

[latent egret]

never doubting my choice in that

tc allows for more value from all enhancements

[kind creek]

with hanged man start too

what should I go for?

five of a kind/flush five aces?

[blissful fog]

Which is easier to draw?

[kind creek]

or maybe erase anything but ace-10 straights?

[kind creek]

that's what I am deciding right now, with trading card and hanged man
what to erase and what to force

[blissful fog]

I prefer fixing my deck based on face cards

[royal bobcat]

well more than knowing where your scoring is coming from it's also correctly assessing threats. do i die because i lack scoring? am i playing a hand type that could be killed by bad draws? would a boss be bad for me? etc

[kind creek]

Brother, is coming. You need to run.

[blissful fog]

Imma just find myself luchador, trust

[calm furnace]

i present to you the newest meta build the GET FISTED build

<@&1133519078540185692>

[smoky merlin]

maybe we should just ban and not delete them like pinning a fly to the wall as a warning to the others

[cold ginkgo]

guys I think Im finally getting decent at balatro!!!!

[thorn prairie]

???

[storm dome]

photochad top jokers

[thorn prairie]

uhhh why is joker diamond when deck is not diamond? (am referring to my pic above)

[frank grove]

You can still turn cards into diamonds on checkered

[honest dawn]

Chad yeah,photo no

[cold ginkgo]

most jokers doesnt require a criteria to appear

that is if you have them unlock ofc

[honest dawn]

What a great game with Trivoulet! But it's a shame I didn't get either of the two stickers I was missing.

[cold ginkgo]

now Im gonna play green deck

can I have some tips before I play it?

:3

[proven hare]

less discard more money

[honest dawn]

Have a good joker that generates a lot of money for you.

And then the usual, lots of blue seals

Purple seals

[lunar zealot]

Sup fellas

[honest dawn]

And try to play with the jokers that the game gives you.

[lunar zealot]

2 hours till new years

got some alcohol

[honest dawn]

Where do you live?

In Australia?

[lunar zealot]

Asia

[honest dawn]

Ah

Okay

[storm dome]

i have 9 hours

:c

[fallow fog]

yes exactly

this wld be more in context for boss blinds, but whenever u sell a joker to buy a new one from the shop, gotta think abt this as well

[kind creek]

absolute fever dream of a shop

[obsidian lotus]

why finally had a good run 😭

[storm dome]

sad

[rotund igloo]

The plant takes another victim

[kind creek]

I could do lucky face hearts + soc&bloodstone

could take negative mail and use 2 discards with brainstorm+mail for 5 rounds

[kind creek]

is it worth it? there are retriggers, bloodstone is kinda good

[crimson hinge]

is any of those 2 worth it?

[silk cobalt]

First time Baron Mime 🔥

[lunar zealot]

ankh rebate probably solves your econ forever

[kind creek]

ankh could double the money output, giving you no real long-term downside

[lunar zealot]

As long as you have a way to survive then you win

you can reroll for many many things

[kind creek]

also, rebate works like idol, eradicate all 2s and it will never select those

[lunar zealot]

Hell you could treat yourself to dogshit and probably still win

[kind creek]

eradicate everything but let's say 10s and every discard is 25, doubled with ankh turns to 50$ a discard

the potential is good

[lunar zealot]

Rebate doesn't need any deckfixing if i'm being honest

it's the single best joker in the game

[kind creek]

yes, but it can get even crazier with it

it is consistent, but it can become guaranteed

[inland helm]

it would take a hell of a lot of deckfixing to get good value out of all your discards though

but you are right

[kind creek]

what do I take in the fever dream shop?

evil mail and rebate that isn't really there, will tkae my money but not really because it will give it back
or nat polychrome bloodstone that doesn't really need hearts for its ×1.5

[inland helm]

rebate is still worth cuz you have brainstorm, and if youre working towards hearts then id replace juggler

oh but they mad expensive shit

[lunar zealot]

Tough tough

[kind creek]

My current deck situation is in thd replied message

there are also the vouchers and hand stats

[unreal iron]

holy negative rebate

perishable but whatever

bl**dstone is not worth

[kind creek]

read my name

[unreal iron]

ummm...

[kind creek]

chances are very frequently worth

[unreal iron]

i love rebate?

thats what your name says

[kind creek]

Time to get my econ on track then

[sturdy mantle]

C+ is completed

That was a really fun erratic too, trading card ante 1

[calm furnace]

tooooo EZ

[hollow folio]

bruh

im back guys

so

[blissful fog]

Got mine to 60+ on a recent run I did

[calm furnace]

game handed me free win

had DNA earlier and just copied 2's

and played 5oaks

[calm furnace]

fortune teller the goat

[blissful fog]

Forgot that cardomancer and fortune teller synergize lol

[calm furnace]

and vampire

[inland helm]

my fortune teller when i receive an emperor

[calm furnace]

tho best synergy is vagabond + teller

basically teller becomes a better groker/bus/nova

+1 mult per hand

[hardy fable]

the best synergy is 3 jokers

me myself and I

[main wolf]

Inconceivable that you had banana go extinct

[blissful fog]

That was the strat I used in this game

Also helped me make the drivers license active

[signal frigate]

I don't know why my Bananas suddenly decided to never die

[signal frigate]

I've had 6 runs

With banana

And all of them refused to die until I lost the run

[calm furnace]

only if its rental

or perishable

regular banana dies when you have no mult

[sturdy mantle]

Now the real fun begins

[signal frigate]

It doesn't matter which for me

All stickers, all editions

They just do not die

[sturdy mantle]

idk if I wanna spam Ghost or Anaglyph now that I am free to choose what flavor of suffering I want

[calm furnace]

neither ghost or anaglyph are suffering

two of the strongest decks

well, anaglyph strength is kinda rng

but on the right seed anaglyph is insanely strong

[sturdy mantle]

Suffering cause gold stake
Ghost is strong and a lot of fun with the spectrals

Anaglyph is begging the seed to stop giving me useless skip tags

[calm furnace]

but ghost is one of the strongest decks on gold stake??????

shit hands out free wins

and turns some shit builds into viable builds

[rancid niche]

I've been working on c++ in like the cheapest way

Got lucky with 3 runs with eternal madness ante 1

[glad sequoia]

Investment tag at home

[calm furnace]

just pick ghost deck

easiest deck to c++ on

[sturdy mantle]

Matador is really fun on the bosses it works

[glad sequoia]

Crazy when you get like $16-24 from him

[rancid niche]

Most decks are fine. Just find madness early ez

[calm furnace]

not really, ghost deck makes getting gold stickers easier than the rest

[sturdy mantle]

[calm furnace]

can just take whatever joker you dont have a sticker on hex it

[sturdy mantle]

Even crazier with stuff to let you repeat cards like Chad or red seal

[calm furnace]

chad triggers matador?

[sturdy mantle]

It replays the card which adds a trigger for matador iirc

[rancid niche]

I don't find difficulty in the decks themselves, I am even winning black deck consistently

[rancid niche]

Nope

[honest dawn]

The streak of 5 consecutive wins in gold stake has ended here.

[sturdy mantle]

No?
I misremembered then my bad

Thanks for the correction

[calm furnace]

its not about difficulty its about the hex making any usless joker add value

[rancid niche]

Yw

[honest dawn]

I could have won it, but I sold the egg looking for Bean, who is the only Joker I'm missing in gold stake.

[calm furnace]

also imo

no point chasing c++

[cold ginkgo]

I CANT STOP WINNING!

[calm furnace]

if you play long enough you will eventually c++ without realizing it

[rancid niche]

Yeah but I don't really need that value

Like

I'm going with the jokerless start mostly

To build up interest

[calm furnace]

the other easy way to c++ is just to get a good build online, save money and last shop before the boss bind just buy whatever joker you dont have a sticker on

[rancid niche]

That's what I have been doing

[honest dawn]

Yeah

[calm furnace]

trying to force a gold sticker is neither fun or optimal

[glad sequoia]

3 suit debuff boss blinds in a row so I still got him lol

[rancid niche]

There's no way I'm gonna use flowerpot in a real build

[rancid niche]

Stonks

[lunar zealot]

It's good for strsights

[calm furnace]

flowerpot and boots only two jokers who never contributed anything to my wins

[lunar zealot]

Basically uncommon orser

[calm furnace]

well, one time boots helped with baseball value but thats about it

[honest dawn]

I'll also tell you how I get the Bean sticker lol

[lunar zealot]

Basbebal

[rancid niche]

boots is good

[lunar zealot]

Meh

[unreal iron]

flowerpot i agree its so ass 💔

[calm furnace]

its anything but good. at 50$ its worse than common non scaling mult jokers

[honest dawn]

It is unusual and it is consumed over time

[rancid niche]

It's situational like any other joker

[calm furnace]

boots is the worst mult joker in the game and this is not even debatable

[lunar zealot]

its niche is converting money to mult

[honest dawn]

Yeah

[lunar zealot]

Flash card does its job better

[calm furnace]

flash card should scale like fortune teller

would be a great joker

[rancid niche]

That's not even a comparison, flash card is way better than boots

[lunar zealot]

It is a comparison

what are you talking about

Both fill the same niche of directly converting your econ to scoring

[cold ginkgo]

ngl If im gonna be honest green deck is feeling like a yellow deck except I just need to play well to gain the dollars
wont complain next deck gonna be black deck which I didnt hear nice things about

[molten thicket]

how would that even work

[lunar zealot]

flash card has better ratios and actually allows you to spend your money

Oh god i'm drunk

[rancid niche]

Yeah which is way better than boots

[fervent crypt]

I didnt know Flush House was a thing in this game lol

[lunar zealot]

They have the same niche which is why they're comparable

[calm furnace]

every mult joker is better than boots 😭

[lunar zealot]

Well no

[calm furnace]

+10mult for staying above interest is horrible

[lunar zealot]

boots is still uncommon

[calm furnace]

name one

you cant

[molten thicket]

ehhhh

[lunar zealot]

ft i guess

[calm furnace]

Seance is uncommon, it doesnt mean its good

[rancid niche]

Flowerpot is uncommon and it's ass

[molten thicket]

mult in general?

[calm furnace]

lmao

[lunar zealot]

Good for straights

[lunar zealot]

It's still uncommon

[unreal iron]

BASEBALL CARD UPSCALE

[molten thicket]

that makes it worse though

[calm furnace]

what does rarity have to do with anything

[lunar zealot]

also chat im like drunk right now i dont have opinions worth listening to

[rancid niche]

Who plays straights

[calm furnace]

baron is RARE and its ass

[lunar zealot]

Baseball card

[unreal iron]

bbc

goated

[calm furnace]

enjoy your night cheers

wait its new years

[lunar zealot]

Yessir

[rancid niche]

That's more fun tho, cheers

[lunar zealot]

11 pm for me

[rancid niche]

Happy holidays btw

[lunar zealot]

1 hour till 2026

[calm furnace]

drunk balatro is best balatro

[acoustic kettle]

New year new jimbo

[glad sequoia]

Jimbo things he's mystic summit

[molten thicket]

new year new nothing

[rancid niche]

What do you guys think of hit the road?

[acoustic kettle]

Okay

[molten thicket]

decent

[glad sequoia]

It's not great but it is a multiplicative option. I had a build with him the other day

[sturdy mantle]

Makes all my Jack's hide at the bottom of my deck the moment I buy it

[molten thicket]

a pretty good xmult if you deckfix enough

[rancid niche]

It gets the job done pretty well

[honest dawn]

Isn't an X6 a big deal?

[acoustic kettle]

(I haven't unlocked htr)

[honest dawn]

Xmulti is very good.

It's underrated

The problem is that it depends on figures

[sturdy mantle]

Fun joker though
Even 1 or 2 a round is pretty decent to keep it around

[honest dawn]

And PS the plant

[glad sequoia]

Yeah it's really good in some situations.

[acoustic kettle]

Face synergy stay losing

[rancid niche]

Like any other joker

[lunar zealot]

Not good

It will get better post blue stakr tework maybe

[rancid niche]

Why would post blue stake need a rework?

[ripe saddle]

what's that deck?

[acoustic kettle]

What if -1 discard get moved instead and nothing changes

[molten thicket]

like to orange or sth?

[acoustic kettle]

Blue stake is so ass

[molten thicket]

i mean that doesnt solve much

[acoustic kettle]

-1 discard pretty much kills big card hands

[rancid niche]

Yk the point of higher stakes is higher difficulty

[molten thicket]

kills the fun of balatro more than increasing the difficulty

[lunar zealot]

Blue stkwe is noy difficult it is unfun

there is a difference

[acoustic kettle]

Pairs pretty much got unchanged with it

[lunar zealot]

Gold srkae adding peroshablses is a great way to make the game more difficult while smikulatneously making it kore engiang

[acoustic kettle]

It just kills bigger hands

[molten thicket]

isnt gs rental

[acoustic kettle]

Ye

[rancid niche]

-1 discard makes it more difficult to find the cards that you want

[acoustic kettle]

You pretty much always draw the pairs anyway

[rancid niche]

I disagree with you guys on blue stake being bad

[lunar zealot]

It🚋's not bad it fulfills its purposes on making the game harder

But it deos so in a way that reduces layer agency

[rancid niche]

Do you always draw blue seals or purples with two discards?

[molten thicket]

blue stake basically discourages full houses/straights/straight flushes/... and encourages braindead pairspamming

[glad sequoia]

I think gold stake is the most fun stake. I never feel accomplished when winning white stake. Definitely more engaging on gold

[acoustic kettle]

Better to only miss out on seal value than not even playing your steongest hand

[molten thicket]

its just less interesting

[lunar zealot]

Better to ask people more verse fin this clijdn of stuff

I would elaborate right now but

Well

im fucking drunk so

aks like rt or fork or somethin

[rancid niche]

Strongest hand is contextual

Strongest hand can be hc

[acoustic kettle]

Your strongest hand is what you level up and shape your jokers to

[rancid niche]

So like I said, contextual

[acoustic kettle]

Well yeah

[rancid niche]

Could be pairs could be two pairs could be flushes

[acoustic kettle]

The whole argument about blue stake is it kills big hands

[molten thicket]

i practically only play white stake now lol

[acoustic kettle]

Since it is harder to draw and play them

[rancid niche]

I played a royal flush build on gold stake that's how I stickered seance

[acoustic kettle]

High rolls always exist

Pairs is pretty much fail safe

[rancid niche]

True

[lunar zealot]

oiohf cuk im durnk

i shouldny er playing balatro rin

[acoustic kettle]

10 streak incoming

[rancid niche]

Show us the drunk build

[lunar zealot]

im resetintg

[glad sequoia]

Definitely need a drunkard

[acoustic kettle]

Blue stake is bad because for consistent wins especially for stickering the runs became just pairslop

[honest dawn]

Do you know what your best winning streak is in gold stake?

[lunar zealot]

chat i got eurnnner i win4'

[acoustic kettle]

Like 3

Or 4

[lunar zealot]

hxa ti htink i win

[acoustic kettle]

What the hell

The drunk run is blessed

[glad sequoia]

Nice, runner is magical

It's like getting a Mercury every straight you play

[lunar zealot]

hoy FU K im drunk

[half void]

well it was fun 🥹

[glad sequoia]

Hey drunk, I'm dad

[molten thicket]

your joker lineup having an identity crisis 😭

[potent tree]

unfortunately it looks like i won't be able to meet my goal of getting c+ again by end of the year

[acoustic kettle]

I'm gonna c++ before new year

[lunar zealot]

oh fuc kmy tomummy hurts

[glad sequoia]

You can do it

[acoustic kettle]

Trust

I have like 15 hours

[lunar zealot]

NMY TUMMY HIRUTS

[potent tree]

6 decks in 14 hours? nah

[glad sequoia]

Easily enough time

[potent tree]

baseball card go!

[molten thicket]

why are you chugging alcohol on new years

[glad sequoia]

If you only have to do gold shouldn't be too bad. Do you have to do all 8 stakes for each?

[lunar zealot]

because i lvoe aclohl

[potent tree]

yep lol

[lunar zealot]

ohg fFUCK EREVTREYRHTIGNI SI SSPNING

[glad sequoia]

Oh maybe not then lol

[acoustic kettle]

I'm on like 40 / 150

[lunar zealot]

pji fcuk i need xmult

[potent tree]

i started checkered again like 2 weeks ago then decided to take a break from balatro

[acoustic kettle]

Surely i can get it done in 15 hours

[potent tree]

i've been on terraria arc last 2 weeks

[acoustic kettle]

[potent tree]

abandoned took away too much of my sanity

it was my last deck for c+ on my first save

i struggled less with black than abandoned

[acoustic kettle]

Abandoned is really fun

[lunar zealot]

i kjepe ufcking burping

[acoustic kettle]

I straight pretty much for all my runs

[potent tree]

drink some seltzer or get an antacid tablet

actually don't do seltzer. it'll retrigger your burps

[acoustic kettle]

[lunar zealot]

IJM a ducvcing lightweight

[potent tree]

why do you both have the same status

[acoustic kettle]

Wait what

Oh damn

💔

[potent tree]

then become heavyweight like me (i'm not heavy drinker)

[acoustic kettle]

Time to change it

[lunar zealot]

in dont nlmknow what youre wltalmiknig about

[potent tree]

poor kami...want me to call the bloodstone ambulance?

[acoustic kettle]

I changed it

[potent tree]

i see

too much champagne on new year's eve does crazy things to people

[potent tree]

110 jokers in 15 hours is pretty difficult unless you have super luck with ghost

deck

[acoustic kettle]

I am just good like that

I'm gonna get it done

[potent tree]

gl chief

[lunar zealot]

@potent tree

Iofihf cuk im a sorry

I didnt mena to ping you

[acoustic kettle]

I haven't unlocked three jokers though

[potent tree]

nah you're fine

[acoustic kettle]

Glass c2 and htr

[potent tree]

just tryna help a balatro pro

[acoustic kettle]

[lunar zealot]

Im so durnk rn

[potent tree]

c2 is what again

[molten thicket]

stop chugging alcohol 😭

[acoustic kettle]

See 2

Seeing double

[potent tree]

seeing double ah

yeah you need deckfix galore for that

[tropic umbra]

give me a discard

[potent tree]

drunkard

[acoustic kettle]

I haven't managed to get glass joker

[potent tree]

that was me with stone

on my first save

[acoustic kettle]

I have been getting glass run after run

[potent tree]

this save my last unlock was c2

[acoustic kettle]

It's just never in shop queue

[potent tree]

but i have a decent shot at completing c+ before regular c, i have some vouchers i haven't purchased

problem is zodiac is one of the decks i haven't played

[acoustic kettle]

I boughr everything already

Shouldn't have tried naneinf

[potent tree]

i've not done a naneinf run myself dw

i appreciate mime

but baron can drive off a cliff

[acoustic kettle]

I got all the vouchers when i tried naneinf

Can't c++ before c

[potent tree]

well you don't absolutely HAVE to purchase all the vouchers right

[acoustic kettle]

Was trying to get the antimatter

[potent tree]

the only ones you really need for naneinf are rerolls, overstocks, maybe clearance sale/liquidation, hands/handsize

[acoustic kettle]

It didn't come

And i died

[potent tree]

and ofc antimatter

rip

[acoustic kettle]

[potent tree]

you wouldn't take hiero/petro in a naneinf run would you?

[acoustic kettle]

Petro is fine

[potent tree]

also i was recently reading about unused vouchers, including money boosts

[glad sequoia]

Gives you 3 more shops each to find what you need and clears vouchers as well

[wary zodiac]

what do i copy?

am i cooked? 😔

[acoustic kettle]

-1 hands and -1 discards isn't really anything

[hardy fable]

sock savescun for mult

[mossy finch]

trouble finding the chad

[potent tree]

you're not copying hologram?

surely it has more xmult now than photo

also copying photo would give more triggers of xmult than copying sock

[acoustic kettle]

Copying photo is more mult

For holo it depends on how big it is

[glad sequoia]

He scored well well over what he needed lol could just be getting more money copying sock

[mossy finch]

i have more gold seals than anything

[potent tree]

ah i guess that's fair

[lunar zealot]

Holy.fuck im wafucking watsed

Riff raff just gave me photochad on round 2

[ancient gyro]

that's cool but I like this

[true wagon]

Had to share because this has never happened to me before. I'm trying to 100% the gold seals and so I ended up with these jokers on a Flush run. Final boss, last hand and I was one away from a Flush so game over.... expect unbeknownst to me, my Idol card was a king of hearts, the card I played expecting to lose. With idol, photograph, Chad, and Blueprint it doubled to the moon and I won. A complete surprise!

[lunar zealot]

Ojfb cufkc happy nrw yesr

Holy shit im easted out of miy fukcing minf

[ancient gyro]

kami speech to text kami

[lunar zealot]

I think i think that new year is a philosophicalistic everyday in order to buy more products that celebrate the new year so that their new trends and s*** that we have to purchase and conform towards error to fit into society

[acoustic kettle]

Cook

[lunar zealot]

And it's much more accurate towards my everyday speech by everyday speech patterns especially when i'm intoxicated or something

[tranquil path]

I am finally done with C++ as of this past night/ morning. In the white stake run to get the achievement the game mocked me though lol. My final three gold stakes were legendaries and it took so long to grind them

[lunar zealot]

i reached your average streak count

[lunar zealot]

9h my FOD IM FUCKING WASTED

[shell dagger]

9h for what

[honest dawn]

Look at my concept of a deck "tryhard deck" No rare or legendary Jokers appear, but you start with 24 economy and a blank voucher.

I don't know if that's what it was called in English.

[ancient gyro]

boring deck

in english

[honest dawn]

I'm also surprised you didn't have Chad in gold stake

[lunar zealot]

Jesusfk fucking rhsit

Im like

I dont even know what plsnet im on

[mossy finch]

cap at e20

[nova matrix]

Guys this might seem crazy

But one of my favorite jokers might be in this build

[rancid niche]

Guys how do I know how many jokers I have left for c++?

[nova matrix]

Can you take a guess

[mossy finch]

i also had a natural negative photo in my previous run

[nova matrix]

It wasn’t natural sadly

I would’ve loved that

[rancid niche]

I got a natural negative perkeo from a soul card

[mossy finch]

interesting

[rancid niche]

Why does this happen to me on gold stake and when I play white stake for high score I get the worst luck ever

[rancid niche]

Can someone tell me please?

[nova matrix]

Yah no it dies here

[red thistle]

I'm also a huge fan of green lantern.

[nova matrix]

The greatest super hero you’ve never heard of

[narrow igloo]

erm... whats c++

...

[red thistle]

Count them.

[rancid niche]

Winning gold stake with all jokers

[nova matrix]

Gg bromine

[narrow igloo]

ah oka

[rancid niche]

Very funny

[nova matrix]

Time for the next run

[red thistle]

This isn't a joke, that's what everyone does here.

[rancid niche]

My eyes are terrible I can't do that

[ancient gyro]

i dont sticker commonly used jokers from the community out of spite

[rancid niche]

Out of spite?

[ancient gyro]

out of spite.

[silent bay]

this is the best mega buffoon pack i have seen 😭

[red thistle]

Out of sprite. 😔

[narrow igloo]

out of spite!

[rancid niche]

Jesus that's awesome

[acoustic kettle]

Red card and skip

Surely

[silent bay]

like they're alll good, other then red card but 3/4

[nova matrix]

Thank you local thunk

For these 2 beautiful

[rancid niche]

OTHER THAN RED CARD?

[nova matrix]

Early pulls

[ancient gyro]

these were my last two stickers on my 5th c++ for reference (photo, baron)

[rancid niche]

TFYM OTHER THAN RED CARD

[silent bay]

i just don't wana use red card this run 😭

[red thistle]

Red card is the best joker in that pack.

Sis, you don't got no mult.

[ancient gyro]

red pilled

[rancid niche]

The safest is blueprint and holo cause it's early enough that you can scale it

[narrow igloo]

red staked. 😔

red decked 😖

[rancid niche]

I also refrain from baron builds because boring

[silent bay]

true true

[ancient gyro]

unpractical*

[rancid niche]

And boring

But only on gold stake that is

[ancient gyro]

they can be entertaining in gs in the rare off chance you even get it to work in the first place

[silent bay]

im so stuck what to pick, becides blueprint

[ancient gyro]

fist baron is a real wincon

[rancid niche]

I just had a weird flush baron build on checkered

It wasn't even a baron build but I got a baron off a judgement

And an open joker slot

[ancient gyro]

that's not a baron build

[rancid niche]

I had three red seal kings in hand. it wanted to be a baron build but I just hit new game after winning lol
