[acoustic kettle]

I'm just saying you could

[tiny temple]

Being able to do gold with anything but the most optimized lucky runs feels like skill to me right now

[acoustic kettle]

You get better over time

[pale wolf]

i suppose there's some amount of skill up from straight beginner lol

[pliant jewel]

not my fault that stone joker showed up on some random run where i have like a single stone card instead of the time half my deck was stone

[pale wolf]

i can semiconsistently beat gold stake, i try to streak, but i dont feel good at the game

there are many levels of skill

[acoustic kettle]

I haven't unlocked glass joker

I never bought it

Never in my shop queue

[pale wolf]

glass joker is cool

[cloud sinew]

do you never have glass in your deck

[pale wolf]

shop1 i would rather make a glass card than a stone card for the chance of seeing gloker

[acoustic kettle]

I have at least one every run

[pale wolf]

if lilo was a joker shed be liloker

[acoustic kettle]

It's either it is in queue before i made one or i was one reroll away from it

[wintry igloo]

are we on something

[hardy fable]

yes

[pliant jewel]

3 rentals and a dream

[pliant jewel]

okay but what if i have 6 double tags and there's a negative skip

i can't not take it

[pliant jewel]

this doesn't consider the 0.25x potential scaling for throwback smh

[willow frost]

no

[pliant jewel]

arent they incompatible

[willow frost]

brainstorm will say incompatible in its description

[wintry igloo]

no we were not, heartstone being heartstone

[pliant jewel]

erm actually it's bloodstone

[latent egret]

it does 0 actually

[exotic orchid]

Wtf is that joker skin.

[white forge]

Just hit 1k on flash

[wintry igloo]

woaw and even 21 ante

great job

I can't really find a motivation to play past ante 8, just want to finish all deck stakes

[plush stone]

i need help, do i sell showman or sock?

[shadow shore]

thats not the normal logo

[plush stone]

and is my joker placement optimal

[shadow shore]

but naneinf is an achievement

[cursive crater]

hanging chad

[plush stone]

seriously?

[hollow ferry]

showman is the obvious sell here imo
you can also sell chad if you want to look for more brainstorms

you already have sock

soooo

[exotic orchid]

Hanging chad

[plush stone]

okay ill sell chad, wouldnt ever think about it

if you didnt say it

[cursive crater]

petraglyph unlocks on ante 12

[exotic orchid]

You are already getting retriggers. Chad provides very little value now.

[plush stone]

very good to know thank you

and brainstorm copying trib yeah?

yeah i guess so

[quartz ember]

for now yes

[plush stone]

okay

[pale wolf]

it provides plenty, the main thing is that showman allows another sock to appear

[exotic orchid]

Yeah i meant compared to other jokers in this case.

[pale wolf]

idk if you're even supposed to keep showman here tho, bc it decreases chance of blueprint

and 3 brainstorms is not good

[exotic orchid]

If you get a blueprint copy the sock.

[plush stone]

okie dokie

[pale wolf]

id kill showman for dusk

[plush stone]

got my first e score :D

[pale wolf]

or blueprint

or sock i guess

[plush stone]

yeah i didnt see blueprint this run

[shadow shore]

Unless show man is negative

Its always a sell unfortunately

[pale wolf]

yea lets bring up other things that arent happening

🦓

[exotic orchid]

Yeah i wouldn't have taken showman before getting both. Showman will be the next to go if they find a bp.

[pale wolf]

i should play some white stake

[shadow shore]

https://youtu.be/ek6ZtXympE0

[plush stone]

i was doing that because i wanted to get joker unlock that you need to finish the run with 4 jokers or something

but i got canio and trib and just folded

[pale wolf]

just play painted

[shadow shore]

Does showman double up chances of getting same card if u have more of em

[pale wolf]

no

[plush stone]

lmao ur right

[pale wolf]

showman just turns a flag on that allows duplicates to appear

[white forge]

Final flash

[pale wolf]

my dumbass was like #⚙・modding-general

thats a big flash card

idk if ive seen a bigger one

[pale wolf]

random seed?

[white forge]

Yea

[pale wolf]

welp

thats the highest i'd ever seen anyways, but apparently the record is almost 3x

[hollow ferry]

how do you even get 1000+ rerolls…

[pale wolf]

money

[white forge]

Its divided by 2

If I played 500 rounds

[pale wolf]

ok this is some math

lol

[plush stone]

you remember my run? i dont have anymore glass kings

kinda cooked i think

for a flush 5 i mesn

mean

idk

[cursive crater]

was the glass even necessary

[plush stone]

at least i got sock i guess

[plush stone]

i think so

maybe not, ur right

[white forge]

Big number brain happy anw

[cursive crater]

🔥

me see big number

me happy

[plush stone]

okay this boss i can still do, nevermind

e20 lol

[white forge]

Star them for uniformity

[pseudo cliff]

My first blue stake build rate it

[pale wolf]

ill have to watch this but i wonder how optimizally mathematically his rerolls are spread over

:3

[quartz ember]

pretty nice, lots of potential to improve scoring as needed which is great

[pale wolf]

1.5^3/10

thats actually a bad score but i like it

its levelmaxxing without necessarily blue seals

[latent egret]

does smeared allow for hc seeing double use ?

[pseudo cliff]

Scientic notation man

[pale wolf]

yea, for some reason

[latent egret]

i thought i was crazy

[pale wolf]

no

lol

[pale wolf]

its probably a bug/oversight but its neat

it doesnt work with wilds

[latent egret]

the wording makes it ambiguous

[pale wolf]

yea but like how can smeared work and wilds not

they do the same thing in regard to black suits

[plush stone]

we'll gamble a little (PLEASE BLUEPRINTT)

[silk cobalt]

Can y'all list some of the best early game jokers to pick up?

[plush stone]

dont gamble people

[naive heath]

gang what is yall favorite joker art

[quartz ember]

any +15ish mult joker, any scaling +mult joker and scaling +chips joker, any econ joker

[simple jacinth]

dusk or brainstorm

[quartz ember]

shortcut

[silk cobalt]

Satellite looks pretty neat

[simple jacinth]

there isn't really a bad take except something you're not ready to make full use of (eg DNA). Play with what you have

[naive heath]

brainstorm is cool asf

[plush stone]

was a fun run GGs

kinda insane that blueprint didnt show up one time

wouldnt change anything but still

[shadow shore]

Holy bro took keep it simple stupid to another level

[plush stone]

hahah

[shadow shore]

Yknow how many runs i could have saved with this information

[shadow shore]

Porbably photograph since even when reshuffled and hidden in boss ante you can see it since its smaller than rest of the cards

[gloomy swallow]

Four Fingers gold sticked!

Low-key underrated wow

also bloodstone saved the run so time to bump it up a tier

[solid garden]

space joker.

[gloomy swallow]

do you like this stupid space joker run

where I had to take poly tags to get xMult for free since my debt was so large

[lunar zealot]

What the fuck is that

[gloomy swallow]

not even a credit card could fix it

[gloomy swallow]

a gold stake viable run

somehow

[lunar zealot]

Viable is pushing it

[gloomy swallow]

I won with it

[lunar zealot]

it dies so unfathomably hard to violet vessel

[stiff ore]

definitely a flush run

[lunar zealot]

Probably wall and eye too

[gloomy swallow]

I faced crimson heart so

[lunar zealot]

If you get ox'd it's a good thing somehow

[gloomy swallow]

real

didn't happen tho

pairs > high cards no doubt

has everything a high card has but better

[safe moat]

YESSSSS

it’s working

[gloomy swallow]

easy to play, discarding is (almost) never needed
literally doesn't need building towards 99% of the time, AND the planet cards boost chips 1.5X better than highcard, which can save you a LOT

[gloomy swallow]

the money

[safe moat]

No the negatives

[stiff ore]

fuck this game

[gloomy swallow]

all this and somehow highcard is still my most played hand

[gloomy swallow]

do you win though

[sly bolt]

hello chat, I need help in winning gold stake, what do I sell?

[gloomy swallow]

if you asked me how abstract joker got up there, I would now not be able to tell you how, I have low-key forgot

[lunar zealot]

Well yes

[gloomy swallow]

how much is red card st

and show levels

[sly bolt]

red card is +18

[gloomy swallow]

sell red card then wtf

easiest decision of a life time

[lunar zealot]

The joke is they don't need to

[sly bolt]

I sold midas mask

sup kami

[gloomy swallow]

You're baiting

😭

[sly bolt]

no I'm the restless sleeper

anyway balatro is fun I should play more

[safe moat]

I died

[stiff ore]

Bro this run is insane I played a full House with three of the cards disabled

[sly bolt]

glad to see someone having fun with flower pot in black deck

[stiff ore]

Truth be told the flower pots not even really helping it's only getting used from the holo LOL

Like it's helping occasionally, but generally speaking I'm playing two pairs which usually don't have one of each suit

[meager root]

Later in run best to retrigger sock or idol?

[quartz ember]

idol here

[meager root]

Shall I do sock now for money and idol later

[ancient gyro]

glad to be me

[ancient gyro]

scribbly

[stiff ore]

Welp... I'm done with this game for now...

Oh nvm

The calculator gave me the wrong number apparently

[surreal sandal]

Double 69. Reroll and Money

[stiff ore]

Oh no I see the problem I didn't think about acrobat

Oh fuck... Wish me luck

It's the only blind I'm missing too

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[stiff ore]

Hell yeah!!

[slow epoch]

Im missing the ox

[latent egret]

I LOVE GETTING BAILED OUT WITH STRUSHES ON CHECKERED DECK !!!!!!!

[slow epoch]

Which is so completely random

I think my least favorite finisher is a tie between the yellow (flips & shuffles jokers) and violet vessel

[molten thicket]

balatro

[molten thicket]

i think acorn is fine especially when you hold a joker so it doesnt get shuffled

i hate crimson heart so much more

[stiff ore]

That was a fun one

[stiff ore]

... How does this happen

How many times were you playing five cards to discard one

[severe arch]

showman did his job

also haiii okarun ^-^

[stiff ore]

Yeah whenever I get the chance I plan on getting Nitro so I can update my per server profile

The only reason it's okarun is because my girlfriend wants matching profile pictures

[narrow igloo]

thats tuff

[stiff ore]

Yyyyep

I'm just glad Nitro left me edit profiles per server, because they left me kind of give my own flair for the series I like

[severe arch]

can relate

[zinc hawk]

How do I revert a previous save on steam deck. I think my save got corrupted :(

[tranquil steppe]

For the record, rental still triggering after a joker has been debuffed is really stupid

[slow epoch]

I haven’t been screwed over by that one yet

When I did get it, I just used hands like discards until I got a “good” joker disabled, then discard for a good hand and oneshot

[molten thicket]

me when the crimson heart pingpongs between the photo and the chad

[slow epoch]

Rip

[quartz ember]

why amber acorn, its the easiest

[slow epoch]

It’s just a pain in the ass to try to figure out where my xmult jokers are and where my +mult jokers are, and then reorder them

Especially on 4x speed
It’s just more thinking than I want to do

[unreal iron]

whenthe top 10 jokers win a run

ofc its rebate and bus and obe

spaceman my goat btw

[quartz ember]

cjange speed for one hand

[tranquil steppe]

@marble gorge and @serene forge bloodstone forgives your sins

[quartz ember]

and remember to hold one joker with your mouse

[slow epoch]

No clue what, but this sure is something

[heavy geyser]

Orange stake but had two good synergies. Certificate and the one that gives you a tarot card start of round coupled with brainstorm, fortune teller and hologram.

[serene forge]

you had photochad already but ok

[solemn abyss]

what do i do in this situation? is there any way for me to grab that brainstorm?

[royal ore]

take buffoon pack i feel like

[slow epoch]

Holy fuck what do I do

[slow epoch]

Does selling the hex give enough?

[solemn abyss]

it gives 2, need 2 more

[slow epoch]

Damn

[solemn abyss]

damn

[slow epoch]

I already sold golden for the mime, do I grab the bloodstone too?

Chat do I sell a swashbuckler for the bloodstone?

[tranquil steppe]

Nope. Try again. You can play the seed

[wintry ice]

you have photochad and lucky cat

[tranquil steppe]

Go play the seed

I bet you both lose first try

[serene forge]

sell baron for mime and get gold cards

[slow epoch]

Rip

On to this now

[serene forge]

what the fuck are you doing

[wintry ice]

"ohh 1 specific case that favors my argument is enough to prove that a joker is good" please stop ragebaiting

[slow epoch]

I don’t knoooooooe

[rugged bloom]

Polychrome gold cards are the best looking asset in the game

change my mind

[lunar zealot]

Negative shortcut

[autumn goblet]

I did it 😄

[lunar zealot]

WOO

[slow epoch]

Whatever it was I won

That’s quite unfortunate for me

At least I made it past 8

[severe arch]

I do not like this game

[slow epoch]

The seed is:

XUQ3WCNY

if anyone wants to try it

I think it has decent baron potential

[hollow ferry]

did you see a retcon voucher

[slow epoch]

Maybe

I don’t remember

[hollow ferry]

also you can enhance cards to remove the debuff

[slow epoch]

Wait really?

[hollow ferry]

yes

[terse vale]

oh yayy!

oh wait

aw man

[terse vale]

also yeah

[hollow ferry]

whats wrong

[severe arch]

I'm not surviving this, Judgement you're my last hope

MYSTIC SUMMIT?????

[valid ether]

sometimes the game wants to give you a direction

[wintry ice]

you should
take hermit

[exotic orchid]

Its a sign.

That theres a plant on ante 7

[severe arch]

deceiving the opponent by giving them an opportunity that's too good to be true

art of war type shit

[valid ether]

yeahhh cant wait for that

[valid ether]

I have

Taken it

[severe arch]

but srs tho photochad is goated but is it really that good?

[wintry ice]

should be doable as long as you remember to put glass on a numbered card

[severe arch]

at the end of the day it's 8x multiplier

[slow epoch]

Fuck me

[wintry ice]

it's one of the strongest combos in the game

[severe arch]

8x mult without being able to increase the mult it multiplies too

i mean yea you can

upgrade the hand

[wintry ice]

blue seals are a thing

remember this

[severe arch]

yea that

but in the end the only way to increase the mult is to by upgrading a hand

[wintry ice]

you can also find levels by shopping

[valid ether]

With red seal, enhancements and other jokers it just has great potential

[wintry ice]

and also use enhancements for supplement

[severe arch]

so you're telling me

photochad. .

[tranquil steppe]

Glass is also your friend for photochad

[severe arch]

is potential man?

[valid ether]

sock my photochad and Im happy

[valid ether]

Oh god

[wintry ice]

no that's idol

[severe arch]

cant say the same for the card itself tho

the card itself will die once you use it with photochad

[tranquil steppe]

Not necessarily. It CAN die but not guaranteed

[wintry ice]

well that's what the enhancement is for

emergencies

[tranquil steppe]

Glass photochad is amazing on ante 7 and 8 if you’re in a pinch and need to advance

[wintry ice]

putting a justice on a numbered card is the best way to get around it's debuff weakness

[severe arch]

bla bla bla

[wintry ice]

things like needle, water and mouth can still hinder it though

[rugged bloom]

Okay fair

[severe arch]

all i hear is "Photochad is goated cuz IF you have this or that!!" cant beat my goat green joker

[tranquil steppe]

Photochad is definitely goated

[rugged bloom]

I just won a run on photochad

photochad was the only thing carrying

the scoring at least

[tranquil steppe]

Bus + green was a fun combo on a run I just did. +2 mult increase each hand played is powerful

[wintry ice]

green joker, red card and square runs are more common but that's because they're individual jokers and not a combo of them

[tranquil steppe]

Chad is pretty solid on his own even without photo. Lots of uses for him by himself

[rugged bloom]

Hanging Chad can single-handedly support a lot of runs, but Photograph NEEDS Hanging Chad to be good

Doomed yaoi 🥀

[wintry ice]

photo is kinda dependent on chad yea

[tranquil steppe]

Photograph is pretty limited without Chad yes. Not completelyyyyyy worthless but yea not super strong

[wintry ice]

it's alright with sock or red seals

[rugged bloom]

Photo is good but it's just a common joker

[wintry ice]

but far from good because of how the meta is centralised around common mult scales

[rugged bloom]

Chad is very strong for a common joker

[wintry ice]

which it doesn't interact with

[rugged bloom]

and Photochad is definitely very strong for being a purely common combo

[tranquil steppe]

Chad + lucky cat is fun

[rugged bloom]

dunno about gold stakes but hanging chad (with some support) might definitely win you many runs

[tranquil steppe]

It works on gold too lol

[rugged bloom]

It definitely does

I just don't remember beating Gold stake with Photochad

nevermind i have the gold sticker on both

i have beat it

[tranquil steppe]

Oh I have several times

[rugged bloom]

got two consecutive red seal jacks from a certificate

insane

[wintry ice]

who needs photochad when you can have bus square fire emoji

[tranquil steppe]

Not SpongeBob combo?

[night turret]

Man I love it when making a stupid build

[wintry ice]

the spongebob and patrick duo

[night turret]

And this shit shit happens

[rugged bloom]

Pareidolia x Ride the Bus

[tranquil steppe]

Burglar + green

[wintry ice]

swash is just there for the ride

[night turret]

Taking off ancient and swashbuckler for these

[tranquil steppe]

Kill swash

[rugged bloom]

Mail-in-Rebate x Burglar

[valid ether]

What is happening

[tranquil steppe]

Now you just need bloodstone

[rugged bloom]

Did you pray to Localthunk before this run

[valid ether]

I have not

[valid ether]

Wrong suit

I fixed for diamonds im trying to get theee

Things

Unlock the jokers

Gamer try and articulate yourself challenge

[tranquil steppe]

FYI Ancient can still hit on any suit even if you deck fix

[valid ether]

I know I know

Maybe Ill take the speculative oops anyway

Because its funny

[tranquil steppe]

I mean why not take it?

[valid ether]

Worst case is i lose 3 dollars

[tranquil steppe]

*3 doll hairs

[slow epoch]

Question

If you have no suit jokers, what are you fixing for

Let’s say you open a jumbo arcana and get lovers, world, stars, sun, and moon, what do you pick

[shell dagger]

world or moon take priority

[valid ether]

not sun?

[shell dagger]

the black suits have blackboard

bloodstone sucks

[serene forge]

ye

[slow epoch]

I like spades

[shell dagger]

and agate/arrowhead are better than rough gem

[valid ether]

It sucks if you dont play for it

[delicate tide]

Much easier to just pick up a blackboard mid run tok

[serene forge]

clubs also have seeing double

[valid ether]

But very powerful in the right setup

[night turret]

I always do don’t worry mate

[delicate tide]

Compared to like a bloodstone

[night turret]

Unless I have egg

[tranquil steppe]

World because of arrowhead

[shell dagger]

and how likely is the right setup gonna appear

[serene forge]

sun is one of like four things you need to get a bloodstone run online

[slow epoch]

Spades is clearly best because they’re all on the left when sorting by suit

[tranquil steppe]

Rough gem is ass

[serene forge]

blackboard doesn't even need the deckfixing

it just helps somewhat

[shell dagger]

it’s not ass

[pliant jewel]

also bloodstone can still kill you if you have the right setup

[valid ether]

Is it not... with the same likelyhood of... many other builds?

[shell dagger]

still better than bloodstone

[tranquil steppe]

It really is

[shell dagger]

no it requires 2 specific uncommons to be remotely reliable

[shell dagger]

no point trying to convince me of this btw

[delicate tide]

Blackboard is just like an easy pickup mid run while bloodstone is smth uou have to play for and build around

[wintry ice]

if 5$ per round is bad then is golden joker horrible

[tranquil steppe]

All good

[tranquil steppe]

Gold joker is meh

You guys are chewing up a joker slot for chump change?

[serene forge]

blackboard likes a mult joker
bloodstone requires being able to consistently play heart flushes and also needs dice and also needs retriggers and jupiter levels and after all that you still get hard countered by the head
you tell me which one is easier to use

[slow epoch]

I like gold on ante 1 big blind, I get to the interest cap and sell

[wintry ice]

yeah

[pliant jewel]

well, assuming that diamond flush isnt your main way of scoring, throwing away a hand for a diamond flush does result in a net gain of 4 dollars which makes it golden joker that requires effort

[serene forge]

you know there's a reason why you only play photochad and bloodstone runs

[wintry ice]

you're chewing up a joker slot for 0 xmult?

[tranquil steppe]

It’s not THAT hard to play flushes

[serene forge]

harder than a pair which you play with blackboard

[tranquil steppe]

Who only plays those?

[serene forge]

lol

you

[tranquil steppe]

lol you are a clown confirmed

[wintry ice]

harder than a two pair which you can play with blackboard

wow ad hominem so constructive

[pliant jewel]

(to be fair both of them are ad homineming...)

[wintry ice]

it's like they never provided a reason why bloodstone is worth going for

[tranquil steppe]

Got em!

[night turret]

This might be the most stupidest run I’ve ever had, and I love it

[pliant jewel]

looks inside
photochad

[shell dagger]

please copy photo…

chad actually

wait wtf r u doing lol

[night turret]

No no odd Todd and scholar!

[wintry ice]

the

[serene forge]

they did say it was a stupid run in their defense

[valid ether]

Is it not bloodstone+oops > blackboard just because 5 times x1.5mult is more value than just the x3mult that blackboard would give?

[night turret]

Exactly my point, I have no fucking idea

I’m already to ante 7 lmao

[shell dagger]

3x applies to every hand

and only needs one joker

[pliant jewel]

wow 2 uncommons is better than 1 uncommon amazing observation

[wintry ice]

that 1.5^5 doesn't apply to scaling mult jokers

[shell dagger]

and works with the superior hand type (pairs)

[valid ether]

Im just talking about the scoring

[serene forge]

why stop there if we can just pull baron mime blueprint brainstorm out of our ass and score e76 every hand

[wintry ice]

which are a very consistent part of this game's meta

[shell dagger]

then yes

[naive heath]

why are you copying scholar blud

[tranquil steppe]

Don’t bother trying to defend bloodstone. They don’t know how to use it

[shell dagger]

but then we can bring up baron mime burglar giving 1.5^850

[wintry ice]

how do you use it then?

[night turret]

I have 10 aces on me rn

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone is for skilled players

[shell dagger]

loses runs 🔥

[wintry ice]

do you know the answer yourself?

[wintry ice]

so you don't know the answer

[night turret]

also it’s a stupid run

[pliant jewel]

ah yes, "run into oops all sixes", so much skill

[tender quarry]

Skilled players always hit their 1/2s

[serene forge]

maybe if you live in australia

[naive heath]

copying chad is way better

[tranquil steppe]

The answer is tree fiddy. Or 6-7

[lunar zealot]

Bait used to be believable

I'm going to bed chat handle this guy for me ty

[wintry ice]

ah yes, run into photo, chad, lucky cat and attribute the victory to the joker that did nothing

[pliant jewel]

based mumei pfp btw

[lunar zealot]

goodnight

[serene forge]

if you spend all your time trolling at least put a little effort into being funny, okay

[tender quarry]

Every so often I get reminded how easy it is to ragebait this chat

[naive heath]

chat what is your opnion on the Jj Joker

[valid ether]

Guys please

[serene forge]

green stake

[shell dagger]

Green stake

[wintry ice]

green stake

[wintry ice]

aj

[shell dagger]

Green stake

[tranquil steppe]

How many more do you need?

[serene forge]

why is the steak green is it rotten

[pliant jewel]

Barely surviving green stake is actually wild 🥀

[serene forge]

none because I don't care for anecdotes

[tranquil steppe]

Oh okay only wins on gold are valid I see I see

[wintry ice]

so you have no anecdotal examples on higher stakes?

[tranquil steppe]

Aww man we gotta do some paid studies with subjects!

[shell dagger]

correct

[tranquil steppe]

No I have nothing for you Vic. I’m so sorry

[serene forge]

it doesn't take a scientific experiment to see that chance based jokers are inconsistent

[wintry ice]

i have to use the things that the statistics class i slept in on thaught

[shell dagger]

guys this is my first gold stake win therefore bloodstone is OP as heck

[tranquil steppe]

Aww you’ll learn

[wintry ice]

learn what?

[tranquil steppe]

Yayyyyyyy

[valid ether]

No oops btw

[tranquil steppe]

Stuff

[tender quarry]

Congrats on beating gold stake

[pliant jewel]

well i won with showman once on gold stake therefore it is a good joker with zero flaws and is perfectly viable

[shell dagger]

thanks

[wintry ice]

i won with idol on gold stake

[shell dagger]

it was slightly harder than Green stake

[wintry ice]

(it was there for baseball fodder)

[tranquil steppe]

Correct. That’s obvious

[night turret]

HAHA I LOVE THIS BUILD

[pliant jewel]

looks inside

[wintry ice]

the build of all time

[tranquil steppe]

Aww too bad though. It’s invalidated by them because it’s not gold and because you used photochad. So please try again

[shell dagger]

false comparison

[pliant jewel]

absolute strawman

[night turret]

I’m not even using photo Chad, it’s a fail safe in case I had pillar

[wintry ice]

me when i intentionally misinterpret the point that the other side are making

[tranquil steppe]

Lmao. Is this entire discord just clowns?

[night turret]

Aces and odds are scoring more anyway

[tender quarry]

We prefer the term jokers

[shell dagger]

ad hominen

[tranquil steppe]

Okay my bad

[tender quarry]

Better for the brand

[night turret]

Jokers, we are jokers my dear friend

[pale wolf]

is this supposed to be a translation joke

[serene forge]

look guys bloodstone is so good i won gs with it !!!!!!

[pale wolf]

[pliant jewel]

me when people disagree with me therefore they are clowns

[wintry ice]

me when i make no effort to actually argue so i ragebait

[tranquil steppe]

I identify as a homo sapien tyvm

[pale wolf]

the word jester isnt in balatro

[tranquil steppe]

Fug yes zebra is here

[pale wolf]

aint that weird

[serene forge]

you should identify as funny

[tranquil steppe]

Am I funny looking?

[shell dagger]

you’re a strange individual

[tender quarry]

What about Jhaos the Jester

[shell dagger]

immediately clear as you are claiming to be a beta tester

[pale wolf]

thats jhaoster

[serene forge]

looks like the idol will not be receiving any changes in 1.1 😔

[pale wolf]

its name will be changing to Idiol

[wintry ice]

i can't believe bloodstone will be nerfed in 1.1

[pale wolf]

it should be 1 in 10 for 5 x

[tranquil steppe]

Yes

[serene forge]

they're going to make onyx agate have a 1 in 2 chance of granting +14 mult per club scored

[pale wolf]

heinous

this is how you nerf pairs huh

[pliant jewel]

1 in 100 for naninf

[tranquil steppe]

Lips are sealed

[wintry ice]

they will make blackboard give 5x mult

[serene forge]

rough gem becomes 1 in 2 for 2 dollars and gets renamed to business card 2

[wintry ice]

wow!

[pale wolf]

its hard to activate after all, especially on checkered

[serene forge]

yea i dunno what they were thinking with blackboard its so hard to activate when im playing flushes (the only good hand type)

or like green joker, i have to discard to find flushes obviously

[wintry ice]

also every stake above green will be removed

[pale wolf]

green joker doesnt make sense theres no green suit for flushes

[serene forge]

square joker is also dumb, flushes have 5 cards in them, is thunk stupid?

[wintry ice]

because discord people hurt my ego

[shell dagger]

nerf Mercury to +1 chips -10mult

[pale wolf]

-10 mult

[tranquil steppe]

My ego is tarnished

I’m in a corner

[serene forge]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[shell dagger]

&mods

oops

[serene forge]

oh my, it's all 6!

[tranquil steppe]

Spritzing my tears to put out burnt

[tender quarry]

No don't get him mods I haven't had a chance to get the free money (real) yet

[serene forge]

put them in the seltzer bottle

[shell dagger]

a shame their account with nitro got compromised

[pale wolf]

they should make 5oak start with a very high base chips and mult but have the chip scaling be negative

[tranquil steppe]

Fuggggggg I missed out

[shell dagger]

finally, blue seal nerf

[wintry ice]

they ahould nerf flushes to +1 chips and + 1 mult

[terse dock]

Planet X rework
5oak base 990x99
-30 chips -3 mult

[slow epoch]

I just realized I don’t have brainstorm unlocked

Time to Reroll checkered deck until I get a royal flush

[pale wolf]

-planet x cards are automatically bought and used if capable

[serene forge]

punished for taking the ante 1 coupon skip

[pale wolf]

[tranquil steppe]

Biggggggg RIP

[pale wolf]

fool

coupon skip aint that

[night turret]

Well it was a good run while it lasted, now time to eat some breakfast

I’ll beat blue stake eventually

[wintry ice]

wow it's horrible you got green joker instead of bloodstone

[tranquil steppe]

Good run. You will achieve success comrade

[unreal stirrup]

incredible

[night turret]

Thanks, I wish I could have used odd Todd to do it

[tranquil steppe]

Man you’re cookin

[pliant jewel]

idk man looks pretty credible to me

[tranquil steppe]

But he’s so odd

[pliant jewel]

you have a screenshot and everything

[slow epoch]

FUCK ME

[terse dock]

I discovered time travel

[wintry ice]

use hands as discards for this

[slow epoch]

Oooh yeah

[terse dock]

Buy me dinner first

[pale wolf]

the entire year was meh

[night turret]

And that’s the point

[tranquil steppe]

lol I know. I appreciate your humor

[slow epoch]

Ok that wasn’t so bad

I got it

[wintry ice]

i very much applaud your, in my opinion, very good sense of comedy or whatever

[valid ether]

U should discard one if u get one again

U unlock a good joker

[unreal stirrup]

ship it

[tranquil steppe]

Whoa only a couple people I know use that phrase hmmmmm

[slow epoch]

Yeah I know that’s what I was trying to get

[valid ether]

Damn

[sand lily]

I'm finally at gold stake now and I'm trying to get black deck out of the way so I can have fun again

[unreal stirrup]

e100 with non baron

[slow epoch]

I got it tho

[valid ether]

Yea i went crazy straight flush farming for brainstorm

[valid ether]

Great!

[valid ether]

It really shouldnt have taken me so long

[wintry ice]

go for something else instead

[valid ether]

Very unlucky sad day for me

[tranquil steppe]

That’s actually really cool

[wintry ice]

teying to force a win on a hard deck just leads to burnout

[sand lily]

I aught to take a break

[tranquil steppe]

That was the 3rd deck I beat and it took the longest by far

Good luck @sand lily

[pliant jewel]

i struggled on nebula more than black deck somehow

[tranquil steppe]

Interesting. Hmm gotta check my notes for how hard nebula was for me

[wintry ice]

pinging right after a reply ping is a strange case to me

[terse dock]

Are you sure(

[unreal stirrup]

sigh

[terse dock]

@wintry ice I dont find it very weird.

[serene forge]

I did plasma as my second gold stake because I was still a noob and thought it was gonna be easy with chipmaxxing

[pliant jewel]

how getting crystal ball on nebula feels like

okay i dont have the image rn but imagine that one with a guy breaking free from chains

[tranquil steppe]

Looks like nebula took me 6 tries to get gold

[tranquil steppe]

Plasma is definitely difficult

[heavy heron]

boring ahh run

canio kinda trivializes the game

[tranquil steppe]

Lord Canio!!!!!!

[mental bloom]

polychrome smiley face or keep cavendish?

[heavy heron]

cavendish probably

[valid ether]

Banana

[wintry ice]

canio is the most fun legendary

[tranquil steppe]

Cavendish because, nanners

[mental bloom]

alr alr

[heavy heron]

oh wait you have photo chad

[mental bloom]

yeaaaa

[serene forge]

true

[heavy heron]

that’s an interesting one

[valid ether]

But also 52 cards

Banana is more reliable no?

[heavy heron]

• mult into photo

[mental bloom]

yeah couldn't deckfix that much

[wintry ice]

just check the packs

[heavy heron]

plus polychrome

[pliant jewel]

i really dont think smiley face would do that much considering the baron mime getup you have there

[heavy heron]

it’s going to be about the same score

[wintry ice]

aim to replace photo

[heavy heron]

like almost the exact same

[terse dock]

Naw

[marsh needle]

In a situation like this where i have big value generaters but a chance to take a solid scaler, do i sell something for bus? Or do i just be content with what i have for the moment

[terse dock]

Chicot

[mental bloom]

goofy arh build

[wintry ice]

overcoming boss blinds is fun

[heavy heron]

eh……..

[wintry ice]

so he ends up being kinda boring

[heavy heron]

perkeo is the most fun legendary imo

[valid ether]

Depends on if u wanna keep playing bus imo. Its early enough that you could get away with it

[tranquil steppe]

You do whatever your heart desires

[terse dock]

Being able to turn your brain off is also fun

[wintry ice]

perkeo is cool too

[heavy heron]

canio IS turning your brain off

[rugged bloom]

Baron/Mime'd on a non-endless run lmfao

[mental bloom]

nothing much in the packs

[marsh needle]

Im on 3 winstreak on purple stake checkered

I wanna keep it up >o<

[terse dock]

Drink 2 liters of 4loco

[wintry ice]

you might be able to sell todd

[rugged bloom]

ALWAYS pick the speculative baron /j

[wintry ice]

depending on how leveled your hands are

[tranquil steppe]

Buhhhhhh shdiodidkdkdksmsmsmsm muhhhhhhh bloodsnsnsnsnaksksnsnsns ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh uhhhhhhhhhd. Shshsjsiakksnsnansnns

[valid ether]

Oh then maybe do take the smiley

[mental bloom]

yea tho idk if I'll survive long enough

[hard mantle]

crawls from my cave full of mysterious goo hello chat

[tranquil steppe]

Should I ask?

[rugged bloom]

I have the Chicot hands

[mental bloom]

Helloooo

[mental bloom]

Oke

[unreal stirrup]

do i try for 5 blueprints

[terse dock]

Dude clean that up that stuff attracts ants and smells when it dries and is sticky

[valid ether]

I think smiley vs banana score is very similar but the deck looks like a good smiley setup

[valid ether]

HELP I am not responsible if u die to me

[wintry ice]

smiley faces diminishing returns with photo

[marsh needle]

Space joker + hallucination, then oops in a judgement btw

Same shop

[wintry ice]

specially because of hand levels

[terse dock]

hehehe

I get it

Smiley faces

[wintry ice]

haha

[hard mantle]

i cant help it anywhere i go becomes covered in mysterious goo

[mental bloom]

sounds good

[unborn cliff]

i thought those made photos better

[terse dock]

Have you considered a vasectomy?

[mental bloom]

dw I won already mate

[valid ether]

Amazing

[hard mantle]

im not sure how that would help the goo problem

[unborn cliff]

bbc thinks hes on the team

[unborn cliff]

bro is on heidelberg deck

[mental bloom]

yeah I found vro negative naturally so yea why not

[mental bloom]

hell yeah

[terse dock]

Hey

X1.5 mult

[tranquil steppe]

So are you a Bubble Slime/Babble?

[terse dock]

That's a baron trigger

[heavy heron]

it does make photo better

[unborn cliff]

jo k e

[valid ether]

I got a nat negative eternal photograph after an eternal chad and a few antes later i found a nat negative oops

That was fun

[hard mantle]

☝️

[mental bloom]

goofy arrhh high card build I have

[unborn cliff]

[mental bloom]

holy negative mama

[tranquil steppe]

Awwwww. Not a DQMJ fan womp womp

[valid ether]

I put the seed in seed chat

If u wanna tey

[mental bloom]

Ohhhh indeed

[heavy heron]

[unreal stirrup]

epic

[tranquil steppe]

Idk. I just drink it all up

[heavy heron]

where do you see a bean

[unborn cliff]

copy hack dude

[heavy heron]

also imagine going endless

[valid ether]

That i can get behind

[unreal stirrup]

i was just putting them together dw

[unborn cliff]

2 rerolls last shop

[mental bloom]

DAMN

was hack useful?

[heavy heron]

copy idol 3 times hack 3 times

[wintry ice]

he was retriggering 2s

[unborn cliff]

[unreal stirrup]

yes, polychrome lucky 2s

[tranquil steppe]

Just click your heels together 3x

[unborn cliff]

[heavy heron]

ohhh mb mb

[mental bloom]

for my current build I found mime and baron super early so if you want the seed hmu

[unreal stirrup]

this is the setup

[unborn cliff]

full copy hack for greed

[unreal stirrup]

big and round strat

[heavy heron]

one more blueprint needs to copy hack

you’re at 5 idol 3 hack

it needs to be 4 idol 4 hack

[unborn cliff]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[heavy heron]

disgusting

[wintry ice]

another one?

seriously?

[heavy heron]

THAT WAA FAST

[unborn cliff]

son really thought he could everyone ping

😂✌️

[tranquil steppe]

Noooooo I missed out on all the free cash AGAIN!!!!!

Fuggggggggg

[unborn cliff]

DAMNIT dude i was gonna get rich

[tranquil steppe]

Mother effer

[wintry ice]

just screenshot it next time smh

[unborn cliff]

stupid mods doing their stupid jobs man.........

[tranquil steppe]

Now I’ll never be the next Musk 😭

[unborn cliff]

why would you want to be him though

[tranquil steppe]

Nope nope nope we’re not going down the political path. Don’t do it. Don’t do it

[valid ether]

Dont worry maybe he'll post a tweet telling you to sign up for a LEGIT website to earn 10.000 money

[wintry ice]

i would rather not be the next egomaniacal weirdo with a lot of money

[rugged bloom]

do i take the rebate in place of DNA

[wintry ice]

you were the one who mentioned him

[unborn cliff]

MUST.... TALK.. POLITICS... IN... SILLY... CARD.... GAME...

[valid ether]

If you hate memes

[tranquil steppe]

lol dangitttt

[rugged bloom]

huh

[unreal stirrup]

still the same score pre much

[valid ether]

I would keep dna for the meme

[unreal stirrup]

but im coo with it

[unborn cliff]

dna is hand size

[lapis blade]

im gonna beat red stake today

[rugged bloom]

but money

[rugged bloom]

fine ig

[unborn cliff]

you dont need money from rebate when you have this many gold cards

[tranquil steppe]

I thought this was a safe space to point fingers at each other and say your opinion is wrong and rage against alternative strategies you don’t use and then call people clowns

[rugged bloom]

rebate IS a common joker

[valid ether]

But hand size + mime = score

[unborn cliff]

and its not like its a naneinf run

[heavy heron]

no i don’t think so actually it’s probably a big difference

[rugged bloom]

what if i take an ecto

[unborn cliff]

you have bad eternals for high score

[tranquil steppe]

Oh yeaaaaa, well well uh Cavendish is common!

[rugged bloom]

it's negative tho

[unborn cliff]

still a splash

[rugged bloom]

sniped with the ecto

[heavy heron]

you’re at 5 scoring 3 retriggers, and on top of that you have a polychrome (right?) so if anything it should be leaning more retriggers so it’s a huge diff

[unborn cliff]

what type of joker even is splash

is it a chip joker

[tranquil steppe]

He’s a goober

[unborn cliff]

misc is a boring answer

[mental bloom]

ho lee sheet

[valid ether]

Oh

[rugged bloom]

a util joker i suppose

[unborn cliff]

what utility does it give though

[rugged bloom]

same category as shortcut and four fingers

[unborn cliff]

splash is basically -1 joker slot

[valid ether]

I guess its scoring

[wintry ice]

extra business card or rough gem triggers

[tranquil steppe]

Playing extra cards if you’re doing something like pairs?

[wintry ice]

or midas

[tranquil steppe]

Boosting hiker

[wintry ice]

etc

also makes e
flower pot viable outside of scuffed straight builds

[unborn cliff]

yeah but you forget the part where jokers that help splash dont show up when you get a splash

[shell dagger]

Niche utility

[languid kite]

guys u wanna see something I just cooked up

[unborn cliff]

[valid ether]

What jokers help it?

[unborn cliff]

not help it

make it useful

whatever man

[shell dagger]

Splash helps wee, ticket, vampire, bus

[tranquil steppe]

You know what NEVER happens? My glass cards breaking after I take glass joker

[wintry ice]

it's a temporary purchase

[mental bloom]

If I aim for a baron mime build is it ok to search for a card with a red seal in Standard packs or is it better to wait for a deja vu? Cuz I feel like wasting so much money only to find nothing

[unborn cliff]

glass cards turn into plexiglass when you want it to break

[wintry ice]

yeah

[shell dagger]

standard packs are where you’ll find the red seal 80% of the time

[tranquil steppe]

Fugggggggg

[wintry ice]

the former

[grizzled lagoon]

Question, what does misprint do exactly?

[valid ether]

Standard pack seems more reliable at red seals than spectral pack unless ur on ghost deck

[tranquil steppe]

Every time someone says wee, I think of wee man from jack ass, and also that pig from the geico commercial going weeeeee weeeeeee weeeeeee

[unborn cliff]

give mult sometimes

or kill you because it sucks

[valid ether]

It randomly gives anything from +0 to +20(?) mult

[mental bloom]

gives you between 0 and 23 mult

[unborn cliff]

23

[tranquil steppe]

Helps you early game in a pinch

[mental bloom]

alr nice

is it ok if it's on a 4 tho

[mental bloom]

yeah as expected

[shell dagger]

not ideal but doable

if you have good econ/tarot gen and vouchers it won’t take long

[mental bloom]

alr niceeee

[valid ether]

Id say block for the deja vu but this run isnt on ghost

Otherwise probably do that

[languid kite]

Chat Rate the painting I made

[wintry ice]

plasma is better for naneinf anyways

[stiff ore]

nice

[mental bloom]

yeah like I keep two spectral crads so easier chance for a déjà vu

[lapis blade]

thanks

[mental bloom]

huge 10, keep up the amazing work 🔥

[mental bloom]

ah, yes

[tranquil steppe]

8/10. very solid!!! Also one of my favorite jokers

[unborn cliff]

very abstract

[lapis blade]

what an abstract joker

[tranquil steppe]

@languid kite you should do burnt next. That would be SICK!!!

[languid kite]

I’m gonna try to do cavendish next

[pale wolf]

you know the little red marks in the center spell jimbo?

[unborn cliff]

set a piece of paper on file

[unborn cliff]

can you do photochad

for a friend

[wintry ice]

make obelisk

[languid kite]

no

what would I even do
cut a hole in the canvas

[unborn cliff]

yeah

that would be really fun

[tranquil steppe]

lol that’s stencil

[wintry ice]

make a void with a graphite pencil

[unborn cliff]

you could also just black it out

[serene forge]

10/10

[valid ether]

Yeah and then you can attach it back to the canvas like a ballot

[languid kite]

I pray every day for that joker to burn in hell

[valid ether]

It sounds like a multimedia masterpiece

[pale wolf]

and chad, and loyalty card

[mental bloom]

When vagabond

[tranquil steppe]

Red card would take a lottttttttt of time to paint @languid kite

[unborn cliff]

me when im bad at balatro

[serene forge]

just so you know you can use skips to avoid this because ancient doesn't hit the same suit twice in a row

[lapis blade]

can green joker get negative mult

[pale wolf]

no

[wintry ice]

don't get why people obssess over jokers in this manner

[serene forge]

however it's only ante 1 so you should be fine hopefully

[languid kite]

that is why larger brushes exist

[serene forge]

nope

[mental bloom]

nah dw

if it's at 0 discard all you want

but after that

[tranquil steppe]

Welllllll then you’ve found your next project

[serene forge]

even for stencil and bootstraps which can show a negative number it won't actually give negative score

[mental bloom]

DONT

STOP

PLAYING

[unborn cliff]

PAIRS!!!!

[tranquil steppe]

Or believing

[mental bloom]

YESSSS

or high card

[slow epoch]

What am I taking here

[mental bloom]

ouija

[slow epoch]

Pair build

[mental bloom]

for the lols

[lapis blade]

i decided to restart because it felt like god was gonna screw over that run or smth

[unborn cliff]

skip

[lapis blade]

clearly ouijia

[wintry ice]

you could dupe a stone card

[valid ether]

Depends what u want, ouija or skip

[wintry ice]

good for supplemental chips with supernova

[valid ether]

Wy

[serene forge]

either sigil or pass

[valid ether]

Why

[wintry ice]

ouija doesn't do much

[valid ether]

Mb

[serene forge]

or cryptid tower actually

not a bad idea

[wintry ice]

read above

[valid ether]

I have I'm sorry

[mental bloom]

ouija please turn all my cards into 9s for max econ value

[slow epoch]

Yeah I think I’ll cryptid stone card

[night turret]

Appreciate yours as well random stranger

[unborn cliff]

this wins the internet for today! reddit gold for you, sir!

[languid kite]

ima do either cavendish, paradolia, or Constellation next

[tranquil steppe]

Constellation!

[valid ether]

Constellation will be beautiful but hard

[languid kite]

which should I do
someone make a poll

[tranquil steppe]

Although nanners is cool too

[valid ether]

With the different tones

[unborn cliff]

do dusk

[languid kite]

I’m not doing dusk

[unborn cliff]

you're so boring

[slow epoch]

Holy fuck I just opened 2 spectral packs and got 2 immolates

[unborn cliff]

here win

think of the erosion value

[fallow fog]

anyone tried the trading card stuntman trick

[languid kite]

looks like we’ve got a clear winner

[valid ether]

Satellite would be cool too

[unborn cliff]

yeah is dusk

[languid kite]

haven’t even unlocked it yet

[valid ether]

Sadge

[languid kite]

I’ll make dusk last

or you could always pay me

[unborn cliff]

umm dusk won so make it

[valid ether]

Seeing your SCP tag, do you have a favorite one?

[languid kite]

dusk isn’t centered
u messed up

[unborn cliff]

me when i lie

[languid kite]

Probably 294

[unborn cliff]

067

[slow epoch]

Fuck I died to needle

[unborn cliff]

noob

[valid ether]

That is fun

I like 826

[wintry ice]

idr any scps

[valid ether]

I like that needle gives you a trial run on the small blind

Gives u plenty of time to fix scoring if necessary *usually

[wintry ice]

it's one of the worse bosses for pair builds

[serene forge]

I hate The Eye

[languid kite]

if you enter “the best drink I’ve ever had” into 294 It will gather the information directly from your brain and it will dispense what It believes to be the best drink you’ve ever had.

Now, let me ask you something. If 294 was real and you typed in that prompt, what do you think it would dispense?

[valid ether]

Hmmm

[fallow fog]

whats 294…

SCP?

[valid ether]

Coffee Machine

[unborn cliff]

i lowk forgot what it was called but i went to universal in florida a few years ago and got a drink at a restaurant and it had dragonfruit and a bunch of fruits in it

it was so good

[hard mantle]

bababababababatro

[wintry ice]

cranberry soda pop

yum

[valid ether]

I think it would be a minty, maybe kinda tropical (passion fruit adjacent) thing with alcohol

I am a bartender irl (I play balatro when its slow) and I was baffled by a cocktail in my city once

[unborn cliff]

bro is old

[valid ether]

I am not old

[unborn cliff]

damn unc

[valid ether]

Far from it actually

[unborn cliff]

you can drink alcohol you're old

[valid ether]

That

[unborn cliff]

is true

[valid ether]

Is 18-21 years considered old now
