[sleek agate]

u can throw it out once u have 12 gold cards in ur deck

[calm furnace]

has bunch of anti synergies with bus and abandoned deck

[tall sky]

i don't necessarily see a problem with it and they even nerfed from pre beta

[calm furnace]

midas seems fine

its good but not that good

[sleek agate]

rebate is anti synergy with burglar so idk, doesn't make rebate any less powerful

[tall sky]

it's just because it doesn't lose its effect

that's all

once you get a gold card it stays

and gold cards are good

[lost vault]

wanna know whats really broken
purple seals

frfr

[calm furnace]

best econ after rebate is early rocket imo

[lost vault]

once you get more than one

hooh

crazy deckfixes

[sleek agate]

rocket too slow

[tall sky]

high card jokerless my beloved

[sleek agate]

is good though

[calm furnace]

with enough purple seals

it can be all you need to feed campfire

[tall sky]

rocket ante 1-2 is pretty sweet

[lost vault]

blue seals are also very awesome and meta

[calm furnace]

i take purple over blue seal if i have a chip + flat mult setup

[sleek agate]

rebate => midas > cloud 9 > parking > rocket

parking underrated crack

[tall sky]

i love that video from drspectred doing cryptid and he's just like "the moral of the story is that blue seals are overpowered"

[lost vault]

me too qwq

dude just

ignored the jokers

[tall sky]

no shenanigans, just blue seals

it should put into perspective how overpowered they simply are

even for hands you typically don't use them for

[calm furnace]

was satellite different before?

[tall sky]

free levels is insane

[sleek agate]

i wish satellite is +$2

[tall sky]

it used to print money

[lost vault]

blues and purples are op but like idek if i want a rework for them theyre fun and fairly uncommon

[sleek agate]

but that would be p broken

[calm furnace]

at +2$ it maxes out at 24$

[tall sky]

remember the old blue seal concept

[lost vault]

random planet

[tall sky]

no one even bat an eye on them

[lost vault]

blue sea went frm worst to best seal in one update

[calm furnace]

make satellite like constellation 😩

[tall sky]

because it was terrible

[calm furnace]

1$ for each 10 planet cards

[sleek agate]

naur

[tall sky]

that's quite farmable

[calm furnace]

ok 1$ for each 5

[lost vault]

that might genuinely be more shit than current satelliye

[sleek agate]

still bad

like rly bad

[calm furnace]

with blue seals

not really

[sleek agate]

cus good econ jokers usually give u a lot upfront, the (somewhat) exception is midas but that gives u a shitton later on

[lost vault]

honestly satellite would be pretty decent if it just
started at 2 dollars

or 3

[tall sky]

if you mean like gains 1$ for each 10 planet cards used then it's broken

[torpid bridge]

I personally think purple seals are more OP

[tall sky]

but if not gain then it's pretty terrible

[sleek agate]

blue is better than purple

[tall sky]

purple seals can snowball, it's just less consistent

[calm furnace]

only if you have campfire

[lost vault]

honestly id rather have an early purple seal than blue simply due to the concept of diminishing returns

[tall sky]

for blue seals it's guaranteed with the right play

[torpid bridge]

Yeag

[torpid bridge]

No

[calm furnace]

its also more fun

[shell dagger]

Purple seals can snowball but in an average run, 1 blue seal will put in more work than 1 purple (if obtained at the start of the game)

[torpid bridge]

Purple seals help in deck fixing

[sleek agate]

blue has the other benefit of being able to put a gold/steel on it

is rly nice

[calm furnace]

deck fixing doesnt consistenly win ante 8 gold stake

[lost vault]

that is fair

[tall sky]

purple you do have to discard and discard synergies get worse the further you go

[sleek agate]

wot

[tall sky]

you can also miss it entirely because you run out of discards digging for them

[torpid bridge]

Depends on much purple seals you get

[calm furnace]

you dont need to deck fix to win ante 8 when the meta is to run pairs

[sleek agate]

ah

[tall sky]

deckfixing doesn't necessarily mean killing every single one of your cards

[lost vault]

iwonder how low certificate stocks will go if purples and blues get nerfed

[sleek agate]

well the game doesn't rly give u a rite to pairs every run so deck fixing is necessary in almost every non-pair run

[torpid bridge]

There is no metas in this game. Why do we have a meta in an offline game

😭

[calm furnace]

metas exist in every game

[lost vault]

there are defnitely metas

[sleek agate]

i usually deck fix to some capacity

[lost vault]

meta isnt strictly a multiplayer term

[tall sky]

you still deckfix to generate gold cards and kill the red cards

[tacit stream]

sometimes you just get a lot of deckfix handed to you, sometimes you struggle to delete a single card

[tall sky]

for pair runs

[lost vault]

its just used to refer to tactics

[fervent haven]

also balatro multiplayer exists

[tall sky]

that's still considered deckfixing because most cards don't do much for you

[lost vault]

also blue seals uwu

[tall sky]

yeah

good consistency comes from good deckfixing

[sleek agate]

deathing blue seals

[calm furnace]

thats a mod of balatro played by a small subsect of the playerbase

[lost vault]

the multiplayer meta is much different

[torpid bridge]

The fact that only pairs can be consistently played on high stakes is just how poor the blue stake is designed

😭

[rich mauve]

Meta means most effective strategy available. The only game where I didn't see a meta is probably chess

[tall sky]

you can't say deckfixing isn't necessary when it helps your run so much

[fervent haven]

yeah haha

[sleek agate]

i disagree

bcus u dont always get to build around pairs

those r usually the funny runs

[fervent haven]

e4

[tall sky]

pairs are pretty terrible without the right tools

[torpid bridge]

Im a big fan of flush 5 builds bro

[rich mauve]

is it?

[fervent haven]

Chess is just top engine moves defines the meta basically

[tall sky]

context matters a lot

[tacit stream]

I once ended up pivoting to idol flush five before end of Ante 8. (gold stake)

[torpid bridge]

Thats why i find blue stakes terrible

I played flush 5, 5 of a kind in several of my golf stakes run

[calm furnace]

what makes pairs good is that you dont need to build around them.

[sleek agate]

but u do...

to some capacity

[calm furnace]

you dont?

[fervent haven]

Doesn't make a huge difference but I think it's technically the strongest by book moves

[sleek agate]

u cant play a level 1 pair on ante 5 unless youve got everything set up

[calm furnace]

you need scoring jokers with almost every hand type

[fervent haven]

but people like Magnus show that mainlines aren't even meta haha

[tall sky]

i would not recommend rawdogging a pair run

[calm furnace]

you cant play level 1 any hand on ante 5

[tall sky]

not even on white stake

[torpid bridge]

On this mod purple seals are meta

[lost vault]

this is likely because people are not computers

[lost vault]

true

[fervent haven]

idk some of those grandmasters... XD

[sleek agate]

i mean u still need to build around a hand type to some capacity

at some point

[tall sky]

i prefer having tons of gold cards and blue seals in my deck with all the boring cards outta my deck

that still takes deckfixing

[sleek agate]

pairs are just easier to build around

[torpid bridge]

Blue seals carry you through the bare minimum

[sleek agate]

sometimes u dont get to build around pairs because the game is being funny

[tall sky]

it's not that you don't need, it's that would you not do it if given the option to

[lost vault]

i like luckies and seels and glass dude i just love tarots shoutout to all tarot gen jokers yes even superposition

[torpid bridge]

While purple and red seals have higher ceiling

[tall sky]

I've done superposition runs before, very fun

[lost vault]

superpos technically theoretically can snowball

[torpid bridge]

Its up to how you prefer playing

[sleek agate]

purple i almost always take from standard packs

[torpid bridge]

For me its the lucky cat

[tall sky]

people treat me like I'm insane for doing a A-5 superposition run

[lost vault]

i tried to make it work today but the FLint is a fucking hater dude

[sleek agate]

superpos good early game

[torpid bridge]

The lucky cat run was my goated run in my entire balala life

[lost vault]

the flint is gay i wanna kill the flint

[tall sky]

ooc

[rich mauve]

flint can die

thanks

[sleek agate]

ice cream kinda goated joker ngl

[torpid bridge]

100 chips is fat

[tall sky]

the food jokers go kinda crazy

that's why they perish

[rich mauve]

every joker is goated except o-

[tall sky]

except bull

[sleek agate]

i mean it saves a sad run pretty handily to some extent

[torpid bridge]

On low level high card or pair its like x2 or even x3

[tall sky]

because bull isn't a goat

it's a bull

[rich mauve]

true

[lost vault]

owman

[torpid bridge]

How can you hate showman

I love showman

[sleek agate]

what's the joker that gives you a sealed card, that thing is broken

i forgot the name

[lost vault]

i higkey dislike bull be ause like
i wanna spend money qwq

[rich mauve]

certificate

[torpid bridge]

Certificate

[tall sky]

certif?

[calm furnace]

its bottom 5 jokers for gold stake

[sleek agate]

yeah it's broken

certificate is broken because blue and purple seals are broken

[torpid bridge]

Not everyone plays gold stake

[lost vault]

he sits around twiddling his ugly thumbs and then creates a copy of himself like cancer

[tall sky]

I've changed my mind around it bc of someone telling me seals are just broken

[sleek agate]

it's top 10 in my ranking

[tall sky]

and worth paying money for

[calm furnace]

game is centered and balanced about gold stake

[sleek agate]

just stupid

[rich mauve]

I don't see any situations where showman is good in a normal playthrough

[sleek agate]

purple seals is like deck fixing blue seals for planets

[torpid bridge]

Doesn't mean everyone plays it

[lost vault]

i had a certificate run lately my god it is so absurd man

[sleek agate]

gold seals are honestly pretty nice too for instant $3

[calm furnace]

it can be funny like that one screen shot of some getting a full house of planet cards

[tall sky]

ante 8*

[tall sky]

gold seal stone card my beloved

[lost vault]

if the game was balanced around gold stake banner would give more chips

[rich mauve]

true

[lost vault]

60 chips on blue stake

[sleek agate]

im not huge on stone cards but gold seals are nice in gneral i think

[tall sky]

I'm okay with stones and wilds being in my deck

[torpid bridge]

I dont even think stakes above blue is truly balanced honestly when they genuinely dismiss big hands play

[lost vault]

gold seal stone is good cuz you can always scor eit

[tall sky]

driver's license fodder

[sleek agate]

but kinda bloats the deck and makes pairs harder to draw cus it's practically -1 hand if u keep it

[calm furnace]

i love stone cards

[torpid bridge]

Thats not even balanced

[calm furnace]

my fav thing is putting a gold seal onf a stone card

[jade arch]

Incredible clutch

[tall sky]

i usually stone my red cards so I'm forced to play them

for blackboard

[lost vault]

oh no pairs are so hard to draw this will ruin the run

[rich mauve]

fraud

getting a blackboard or flower pot is much easier

[sleek agate]

well it's -1 hand whenever u dont play it so

[calm furnace]

also chad + stone cards is a great chip joker

[lost vault]

you could have a 1000 card deck and still draw pairs unless its all stone cards

[tall sky]

i don't think I'm always interested in playing four cards worth of wilds

[pale wolf]

hand size?

[torpid bridge]

High card play then

[sleek agate]

no

im saying if u keep a stone card in hand its basically -1 hand in terms of what ur drawing

but it depends on what ur deck is like

[floral mural]

pairs have genuinely a hard time being hard to draw

[lost vault]

isnt that handsize

[pale wolf]

that doesn't make sense

[calm furnace]

stone cards are great to put seals on

[floral mural]

you need stuntman a -2 hqnd size to make high card over pair

[pale wolf]

you aren't losing the hand

[calm furnace]

gold seal stone card is free money with most hands

[floral mural]

qlso you can add 50 chips with stone to a pair

[tall sky]

you're comparing stone cards as if they're bloat

[calm furnace]

purple seal stone cards are there to be thrown away

[lost vault]

id rather have gold on blue seals and purple seals

[torpid bridge]

Stone cards increase chance of idol hitting

[pale wolf]

you'd just draw a pair and then play it with the stone card...

[tall sky]

most cases they are, but not every run you get a hanged man instead

[calm furnace]

huh? you cant put gold seal on a sealed card

[floral mural]

something tells me pair doesnt mind using 50 extra chips

[lost vault]

completely unimportant aspect of stones

[rich mauve]

gold cards probably

[tall sky]

obv I'm gonna hang man the cards if i could but I don't mind stone as a compromise

[lost vault]

the enhancement….

[torpid bridge]

It is

[pale wolf]

gold

[calm furnace]

im talking about gold seals

[lost vault]

if i meant gold seal i wouldve said gold seal

[calm furnace]

can no one read here 😭

[rich mauve]

yes

[lost vault]

someone mentioned how stone is a good enhancement for all seals

[calm furnace]

lore accurate

[lost vault]

so i said

[pale wolf]

You replied to a message talking about golden enhancement dummy

[lost vault]

id rather have gold

-.-

[pale wolf]

You're the one that cant read

[tall sky]

enhancement is still an enhancement

I'm not gonna say no to a readied driver's license

[lost vault]

i love how all this seal talk and red seal hasnt been mentioned
its like the odd one

[tall sky]

even if it adds stone joker to the pool

[pale wolf]

red seal is about the same as gold seal to me but with less immediate value

[torpid bridge]

Driver only x3

[calm furnace]

red seal is i dunno nice to have but not priority

red seal on gold cards is nice

[lost vault]

imo red seal is the worst seal by quite a margin

[floral mural]

saying only as if 3x is bad

[tall sky]

i would do crazy things to get a x3 in desperate runs

[torpid bridge]

Not worth bloating ur deck with stones

[calm furnace]

on average runs yeah

[sleek agate]

fym only

[tall sky]

i am not talking about adding stones to my deck

i am using the tower card

[still cradle]

I have a question does eternal on the idol not make it change its ability?

[calm furnace]

gold card with blue seal > gold card with red seal

[tall sky]

breh

[floral mural]

if youre doing a stone card build its either high card or pair which are famously easy to draw

[lost vault]

and thats what matters 👍

[pale wolf]

nobody's taking stone cards from packs lul

[tall sky]

nop, idol always cycles

[pale wolf]

why would it

[lost vault]

the sky is blue

[pale wolf]

eternal just means it cant be sold or destroyed

[calm furnace]

not if you have vampire thats free 0.1x

[floral mural]

eternal means a joker cant be destroyed or sold

[still cradle]

so why do people use it for single suit decks

wouldnt u just screw urself over

[tall sky]

what does this mean

[pale wolf]

it picks from deck

[sleek agate]

usually u want the entire deck to be the same card so idol doesn't cycle at all

[tall sky]

it cycles cards from your deck

[floral mural]

idol is basically only viable endless

[still cradle]

like

[lost vault]

personally i dont use idol hope this helps

[still cradle]

ooohhh

that makes sense

[pale wolf]

cycle isnt the right word, it rolls

cycle means there's an order

[tall sky]

it can't pick queen of diamonds if you have none

it's never gonna land on them

[still cradle]

so it rolls cards based on ur deck ok

so its pretty much lategame

[tall sky]

same with rebate and castle, it picks from your deck

[sleek agate]

so if ur entire deck is just queen of hearts, then it'll only land on queen of hearts

[pale wolf]

the only joker that doesnt is ancient joker

[tall sky]

it's why baron runs can print money with just kings being discarded

[calm furnace]

which is why stone cards are good when building for idol because idol cannot pick a stone card

[lost vault]

idol is nogame, never take it, it is horrible

[still cradle]

ok so ill just go full stone card build and choose idol fr

[tall sky]

I've gotten idol gold staked once bc it landed on a card i wanted to use during checkered deck

[tall sky]

you do that, it'll default to ace of spades which you have none of

[lost vault]

it will just select ace of spades

[still cradle]

im kidding cause that is instant death

[calm furnace]

noo you just pick one rank and suit like lets say queen of spades and stone everything that is not queen of spades

[torpid bridge]

It cycles based on what you have in your deck

[pale wolf]

idol is relegated to mediocre endless runs
itll keep you alive but it's just decidedly worse than baron still

[sleek agate]

everyone talks about stones but not glass (the definitive best enhancement joker of the game)

[lost vault]

why stone? hanged man is faster

[tacit stream]

I got my Idol Gold Stake after basically "deckfixed too hard" and the Idol just appeared at Ante 7 and I could roll it into my build.

[lost vault]

and also

better

[tall sky]

glass is okay, i find people are scared to use glass though

[torpid bridge]

Glass is way too OP to be real

[calm furnace]

you dont always get hanged man

[tall sky]

because they think 1 in 4 is scary

[sleek agate]

not glass enhancement, i mean glass joker

[pale wolf]

i didn't use idol when i stickered him

[lost vault]

its not that good qwq

[tall sky]

glass joker my beloved

[torpid bridge]

It is

[sleek agate]

glass joker is awesome

[calm furnace]

same

[sleek agate]

muy beloved

[lost vault]

you dont always get stone

[sleek agate]

i always take a glass card whenever i open standard

[calm furnace]

yeah? but you use both for idol

[pale wolf]

hmm

[torpid bridge]

We use any mean to fix our decks

[tall sky]

i think just one is fine for me to get glass joker in the pool

[pale wolf]

lucky cat or gloker

[lost vault]

you said stone the whole deck whu would you do that

[sleek agate]

gloker

[rich mauve]

a few days ago, I was going to lose ante 8. Then Idol appeared and it was on my build. I think it being not rare saves it.

[lost vault]

yeah

[tall sky]

I don't need too many glass cards added to my deck if they're not gonna break

[pale wolf]

i aint ever see either of them tbh

its sad

[torpid bridge]

Why glazing this over that when in fact we can take both

[tacit stream]

When I got Idol I only had like around < 20 cards in deck and they are almost all Aces (deckfix for suits after getting Idol)

[calm furnace]

stone everything not for idol

[lost vault]

wut

[raw whale]

soft utility joker or hard build joker

[sleek agate]

halfsies

[tacit stream]

Stone Card is basically soft-delete for Idol purposes

[sleek agate]

halfsies and hex it

[pale wolf]

deck all kings, one ace
stone ace, no more idol aces

[sleek agate]

instant ante 2 nuke

[lost vault]

it is

i know

i know what stone does for idol

qwq

[pale wolf]

so EXPLAIN UR CONFUSION

[lost vault]

the sentence was worded weirdly

really weirdly

[pale wolf]

oh

[calm furnace]

there was a deck that starts with stone cards right?

in the betas

[lost vault]

stone everything not for idol what

[pale wolf]

medusa does syea

[sleek agate]

the kidney deck

[pale wolf]

in challenge dackz

[raw whale]

ok this would be funny

[tall sky]

you're thinking of an old roffle video

[marsh dove]

8 ball surely triggers into hermit fool

[torpid bridge]

Must have had a severe kidney failure

[pale wolf]

medusa starts with stone cards :p

[tall sky]

four fingers works a little more poorly with AJ

[sleek agate]

i usually like to open standard here

and u still get the $1 interest

u basically nuke ante 2 so u can just keep building econ

[shell dagger]

i would just go next i think

[sleek agate]

that's also fine

[tall sky]

there's no right answer tbh

[sleek agate]

i like to gamble with standard but like

i think both are reasonable

[calm furnace]

i mean if they open that pack and find blue seal

[raw whale]

imagine if there was a joker that just 10x'd the caps
like interest cap, hermit cap, temperance cap, skip cap, and some joker caps when applicable

[calm furnace]

thats massive

[tall sky]

unless you studied the seed it's not really reasonable to calculate everything

[sleek agate]

i mean there's also the chance of not getting any seals, but i like to gamble

[calm furnace]

its a gamble after all

[lost vault]

would be a little strong i think

[sleek agate]

it's also not really risky at that stage

[tall sky]

it's balala jokerpoker

[calm furnace]

like when i open a tarot pack only to find suit changers 😭

[raw whale]

ok maybe like 4x

would be a bit more tame

[torpid bridge]

I often looks for suit changer and death and fool and temperance and hermit

[sleek agate]

i like dark suit changers

cus blackboard

[lost vault]

imagine getting 50 dollars at the end of round

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[sleek agate]

light suits need a joker

[tall sky]

whiteboard

[indigo reef]

flower pot+splash is goated

[lost vault]

100 with ttm

[torpid bridge]

Dont we have bloodstone?

[sleek agate]

a strong joker*

[lost vault]

bloodstone is shit

[torpid bridge]

Bs is strong with oops

[tall sky]

we also have agate, rough gem and arrowhead

[sleek agate]

bloodstone is bad

[tall sky]

it's not a fair comparison

[lost vault]

not a good argument

[sleek agate]

bloodstone is only usable with oops

[lost vault]

finding two specific uncommons is unlikely

[torpid bridge]

Bs needs justice

[lost vault]

a joker being good with another joker doesnt make it a good joker

[tall sky]

don't glaze it bc roffle included it in his videos

[lost vault]

a good example is flowerpot and splash

[calm furnace]

especially when its uncommon jokers

[lost vault]

thes jokers suck balls

but they pair together

[vocal rose]

the strong with fallacy

[sleek agate]

flowerpot and splash aren't super bad

[lost vault]

they are

[sleek agate]

on their own i prefer them over bloodstone

[lost vault]

for sure

[vocal rose]

they’re okay

[tall sky]

the consistency is mostly the problem

[calm furnace]

i prefer most things to bloodstone tbf

[torpid bridge]

Flowerpot is not better than bloodstone alone

[stark karma]

even more joker ideas for my mod, art unfinished but looking for any kind of advice!

[torpid bridge]

They are about the same

Pulling a straight with full suit is hard

[sleek agate]

backpalm looks curious

[lost vault]

they are very different jokers

[stark karma]

its powerful >:D

[torpid bridge]

I mean in how bad they are

[sleek agate]

u should make it left handed

[lost vault]

meh

faie

fair

[torpid bridge]

Since we are talking about picking flowerpot over bloodstone

I think they are both bad

[lost vault]

flowerpot is a stinker

but hoenstly

[tall sky]

so there's a chance cards like lucky cards give chips and prock the gamble?

[lost vault]

more versatile

[stark karma]

yesss

[tall sky]

even if it's held in hand

[calm furnace]

they are both bad but flower pot card is pretty

[torpid bridge]

Versatile how?

[tall sky]

that's curious

[stark karma]

and with say an idol and some dice.....

[lost vault]

it is not on score

[stark karma]

:)

[lost vault]

the xmult comes after other jokers

[sleek agate]

flowerpot flat 3x and u dont need to guess to make sure u actually land the xmult

[torpid bridge]

Flowerpot needs a straight or 4 of akind

[tall sky]

you wanna know something? it feels like it's quite powerful to gamble it like it's reserved parking

[lost vault]

needs?

[torpid bridge]

These hands are harder to get than flushes

[calm furnace]

flowerpot works with straights, 4oak, full house and 2 pair
bloodstone works on flush and flush hands

[stark karma]

thoughts on bento box?

[torpid bridge]

Not saying bs good or anything

[tall sky]

since lucky cards usually only do it one and done but it lets them keep running it

[sleek agate]

flush of a specific suit too

not just any flush

[calm furnace]

yep

[tall sky]

it's an all rounder, kinda okay

[lost vault]

yeah but bloodstone is inconsistent and also applies before jokers meaning uou need a lot of planet levels to get any value out of it

[calm furnace]

and bloodstone needs planet cards

[tall sky]

not sure if 2 hand size is necessary

[stark karma]

what if lost an effect every ante and was a rare?

[tall sky]

i don't think it saves it from being rare

it's not like gamechanging enough to roll it from a wraith

[stark karma]

it's kinda crazy strong that way though

all that stuff is amazing

[tall sky]

I'm fine keeping its current effect maybe with just 1 handsize instead

[hardy fable]

it's a good mid ante joker prob will be used for pivoting as getting it too early the negatives are too detrimental and it can work on later antes but its dependent on the build

[tall sky]

it's not a bad all rounder

[torpid bridge]

What is bento box?

[tall sky]

just might be a little convoluted when you code the text box

[sleek agate]

i like this idea actually

[stark karma]

thoughts on losing 1 effect each ante?

[torpid bridge]

Shouldn't we only talk about mod in dedicated channel as the rules have stated?

[sleek agate]

seems fine for being uncommon

[sleek agate]

too strong

[stark karma]

true

[sleek agate]

consider bean

this is like all the food jokers in one

[stark karma]

yeah sorry ur right

[hardy fable]

who's active in there, also we're discussing about the game, close enough

[stark karma]

there's just more people here

[torpid bridge]

I mean its in the rules

[stark karma]

also it's a very vanilla esque mod

[sleek agate]

so -1 per round is better methinks

[tall sky]

i think as long as it doesn't derail the conversation too much it's fine

[stark karma]

that's kinda the idea!

[calm furnace]

joker idea: the brit: eats bean joker gets 1x mult

[stark karma]

eats green joker

[torpid bridge]

I was confused when people talk about jokers that dont exist in main game

[stark karma]

oh mb

[hardy fable]

gets x mult depending the handsize bean is giving

[sleek agate]

green joker so good

[tall sky]

[sleek agate]

@grok is this true

[calm furnace]

free x5 mult

[hardy fable]

yes

[acoustic kettle]

Jimbo is this true

[tall sky]

could you fucking imagine if you actually pinged someone with that one

[sleek agate]

nh i checked

[patent sail]

would it be better to copy sock or photo in this scenario? im playing mostly glass red seal kings

[sleek agate]

nobody named themselves out of the racist app bot

[torpid bridge]

Photo gives x16

[tall sky]

photograph, you've got enough retriggers

[patent sail]

yay thamk

[torpid bridge]

Sock gives 32

[lost vault]

if its 5 red seal kings then sock

not red seal

glass

[hardy fable]

really depends on hand type but you need to shake photograph more

[patent sail]

five flushes rn

[tall sky]

look at this photograph

[lost vault]

yeah if its flush 5s of glass kings then busk is a little better

[calm furnace]

need to mod this over photograph

[lost vault]

32 vs 64

[patent sail]

thamk yall for help 🐈🎉🎊

[raw whale]

BRUH

[tall sky]

I don't think that's an original thought

[torpid bridge]

Copy sock only gives x32 more

[tall sky]

someone definitely done this already

[hardy fable]

did any of you get the joke 🥺

[torpid bridge]

You retrig 5 additional times

[lost vault]

you have to remember that sock retriggers photo too

[torpid bridge]

Oh yeah

[patent sail]

i guess? cuz like it doesnt show anything yet, how old photos worked 😭

its really just animated and i took a picture at a frame where its blank

[eternal flame]

balatro game update is going to be soo good

[torpid bridge]

Look forward to the blue stake rework

[lost vault]

balatro game ||update|| is ||going to be|| soo good

[raw whale]

i'm convinced this happens only in high stake runs

like no shot i just casually aurad me a polychrome first try

[lost vault]

wow so good?

[raw whale]

anyway i think run is solved and everyone can go home

nevermind

[acoustic forge]

i hate black deck

it sucks

so bad

[indigo reef]

it's kinda fun if it's not gold stake

[patent sail]

truth ✅ almost beat it today, but got brutally murdered by violet vessel

[acoustic forge]

blue stake black deck is hell as is

[pliant timber]

how unlucky i hate the plant

[molten thicket]

planted

[pliant timber]

esp when u dont have any ehanced numbered cards xd

[rich mauve]

balatro when it's my turn to run photochad

[patent sail]

hi violet vessel why did you kill me

[rich mauve]

like once in a month

[pliant timber]

HAHA ive been waiting ages for photochad to appear

[sleek agate]

i hate vessel

[pliant timber]

and that stupid debuff appears

[rich mauve]

ehe

[patent sail]

i used to think its "Violent" Vessel and not "Violet" Vessel

me when i cant read

[pliant timber]

i thought even stevens will save me but nah xd

[rich mauve]

why don't we have all showndown blind emojis

[sleek agate]

honestly apt

chat whats the most fun joker to use

[rich mauve]

because it's violent?

[pliant timber]

photochad

[patent sail]

because i cant read, but that too

[sleek agate]

singular

joker

[patent sail]

tough question

most fun things to do i can think of are combos

[rich mauve]

one that gives 2 hand sizes for a hand

idk

I have more fun with it

[pliant timber]

but for me

acrobat d best

[patent sail]

merry andy is kinda cool i think

[pliant timber]

saved my run a lot of times

[sleek agate]

for me its certificate i think

[pliant timber]

hhaha

[sleek agate]

not only is it broken but its got fun factor

[molten thicket]

violently mauls you with "extra large blind"

[patent sail]

in this household we LOVE discarding

[sleek agate]

this is what my father did as well

[rich mauve]

gaster

[fervent pebble]

dna

[patent sail]

wheres the media channel, i need to send balatro shitposts

[rich mauve]

honorable mention

chicot

[patent sail]

wait... truth supernova?

[rich mauve]

very fun to not encounter unfunny bosses

[sleek agate]

does anyone find the +100 chips for 3oak joker really fun

[rich mauve]

did anyone pick that up?

[patent sail]

kind of random, i dont think ive ever had a 3oak build

[fervent pebble]

i love the oak stuff

[patent sail]

i did 🔥🔥 (it was nat negative in the shop last run)

[rich mauve]

honestly that's something

[patent sail]

he served a very important emotional support role

[rich mauve]

if you'd ask me if I'd pick a free negative obelisk

[raw whale]

LES GOO

[sleek agate]

[fervent pebble]

youve never gotten half joker early and made ur build around it?

its fun

[patent sail]

i have, but i usually run pairs when i do get that 😭

[fervent pebble]

😒

[raw whale]

unreliable scoring, into discard it goes

[sleek agate]

half joker is a rizzler tralalero tralala six seven joker

[drowsy meadow]

Bros braking the game 😂✌🏽

[drowsy meadow]

Sybau

[patent sail]

son im crine 😂😂😂 ts so tuf boiii

[sleek agate]

our brains are shrinking

[patent sail]

speak for yourself, i never had one to begin with

[rich mauve]

devolution

[fervent pebble]

*ohio impressed*

[rich mauve]

flying cars they said

[patent sail]

we got balatro before gta6 💀💀

[rich mauve]

we might get balatro update before gta6

[fervent pebble]

gta6 delayed to 2030

[rich mauve]

I feel like they lose all their progression once every 4 years

[patent sail]

as a player of balatro and geometry dash

i havent heard of such thing as "updates"

[rich mauve]

like someone deletes it

[molten thicket]

who lobotomized the chat

[fervent pebble]

one of the devs gets a virus every 4 years and all their progress gets ransomed

[raw whale]

holy ante 3 buffoon pack

[fervent pebble]

ba🤢ron

[patent sail]

holy pick up the matador rn, instant win

[molten thicket]

ba😍ron

[raw whale]

i picked up matador

and sold it

and then picked up the baron

[rich mauve]

seeing double...

[fervent pebble]

baron carried by my goat dna as usual

[acoustic kettle]

C2 is right there...

[drowsy meadow]

Zamn

[molten thicket]

i still cant believe that people actually abbreviate seeing double as c2...

[acoustic kettle]

See 2

See double

Seeing double

[fervent pebble]

who needs baron when you can dupe 20 red seal steel cards 😍😍😍😍😍

[pliant timber]

wtf how did u guys have diff hud LOL

[molten thicket]

whats the point of an abbreviation if you need to bust out an enigma machine to decode what you're trying to say

[acoustic kettle]

Why type seeing double when you can say C2

[raw whale]

if you mean the shop blinds, it's a mod called unBlind

[fervent pebble]

ts fr icl tbh ngl

[pliant timber]

AH okay

thank u

[raw whale]

ICL? isn't that like a tech company

ts is typescript

[molten thicket]

i want other people to understand me clearly thank you very much

[raw whale]

fr is france

[pale wolf]

never seen it before

and prob won't see it again

[fervent pebble]

you wont see double of it?

[molten thicket]

execute this fella in a fashionable manner

[fervent pebble]

gulp

[raw whale]

MY GOD

[molten thicket]

suspiciously plant-shaped boss blind there

[raw whale]

luchador-shaped lump in the shop

[patent sail]

the nefarious plant:

[raw whale]

GOT FROM A JUDGEMENT

i kinda already discarded all the faces though ( ._.)

AND I STILL WON

luchador dream is true

cinema seed

wow, already?

[pliant timber]

damn i remember this one run of mine

adrenaline rush

[raw whale]

WHAT

literally next roll

[lost vault]

goodbye constellation

[woven spire]

yeah

[silk tapir]

straight jonkling it

[raw whale]

double skip time?

[lost vault]

why?

[raw whale]

voucher

[lost vault]

ouh

sure

[raw whale]

oh no!

[lost vault]

wait why dont you have parking

[raw whale]

i forgot why

i think i took rebate and then sold it

[woven zinc]

nice

[lost vault]

kills you

[turbid shell]

I guess you could say "the stars had aligned"
I'll see myself out

[woven zinc]

I had the opportunity to ankh an 46$ egg but i didnt ...

[turbid shell]

I would slap you upside the head if I could

[woven zinc]

Believe me, I regret it so bad

but i was on a good run and i was about to beat abandoned deck on orange stake so i had to

[raw whale]

plant and psychic are now behind

really wanna to immo here but these are the only gay kings in deck

[wintry ice]

trance is fine

[lunar zealot]

polychrome means nothing on a baron deck

if these were your only red seals i would trance

[raw whale]

polychrome is shiny and cool, that's what matters

anyway i think this is a no-copy run apparently

beautiful loadout

[lunar zealot]

Ox

[molten thicket]

but its shiny

[lunar zealot]

sigh

[raw whale]

I'm earning over twice the interest cap in a single round, and i have seed money

don't even need to sell showman

judgement just finished winning me the deckfixing

[slate vale]

Disgusting

I love invis

[fervent pebble]

constellation is so good

[raw whale]

me when i say nuh uh

lol

[slate vale]

Thanks god i had a high roll (This run had barely any scoring)

[raw whale]

slot machine challenge and it's 5 eternal misprints

[languid kite]

Guys I have a problem

[slate vale]

True

[slate vale]

Yuh ?

[languid kite]

I’ve unlocked (but not discovered) invisible joker
But it still says locked when I look in my collection

[slate vale]

Redo your run ?

I guess ?

[raw whale]

well trading card was shortlived

what's funny is that i still haven't gotten a single rebate

[slate vale]

I don't want to see this face ever again

[turbid shell]

My apologies, for I am dumb. But whats happening to the planets on the right

[raw whale]

plutos

[slate vale]

Ever again D:

[turbid shell]

Visual mod or smth?

[raw whale]

yup. https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1335577520162078763

we did it

my entire deck is now gay

do i just sigil this for some diversity or nah

[fervent pebble]

are they all in one big gay relationship

[raw whale]

yes

[fervent pebble]

awesome

[raw whale]

baron harem

selling baron

now twice the rows

[fervent pebble]

exponentially growing harem of gay men

[patent sail]

can we kill violet vessel 🥀

two ruined runs today

[raw whale]

yes i did that multiple times

[patent sail]

not exactly what i meant, but ill take that answer

[wintry ice]

can we kill the small hand centric meta

[raw whale]

honestly that yeah we should

[patent sail]

stupidest ever interaction ive had with this boss is when he showed up in my Bram Poker challenge run and i lost being less than 100 chips away

[raw whale]

and now we sell le mime

[gloomy vigil]

latro

[raw whale]

honestly this is a pass

[calm furnace]

losing is a choice in balatro

[slate vale]

D:

Huuh
Photochad

[calm furnace]

what was thunk thinking when he made hologram 😭

[slate vale]

Funny scaling joker

[calm furnace]

mf scales faster than yorick

[ancient gyro]

he can revert the buff last update

[slate vale]

True (bp bs dna and the voucher)

[calm furnace]

lemme check the buff

[pale wolf]

good jokers are good

[calm furnace]

cert, marble

[slate vale]

It should be rare i guess

[ancient gyro]

still wouldn't change anything

[pale wolf]

nah

[slate vale]

Less chance to get it :P

[calm furnace]

was hologram different in previous games? wiki has nothing about it changing

[ancient gyro]

i stand by my case

[pale wolf]

it'll be nerfed indirectly by smaller hands being made worse in the next update I think

[ancient gyro]

you're probably on the wrong wiki
it was 0.2x scaling in the same patch vampy was busted in

[calm furnace]

it can switch rarity with HtR

[pale wolf]

it doesn't need that

[calm furnace]

both wikis are not listing the changes on the joker page

[lunar zealot]

Oh holy shit

[calm furnace]

hmm so it scaled as fast as vamp interesting

[lunar zealot]

you say hologram and i think of the fucking

sts card

LMAO

[calm furnace]

wait no, vamp scaled with non scored cards too thats wild

[lunar zealot]

my brain is rotted

i need to play balatro

[molten thicket]

i would argue playing balatro rots your brain

[pale wolf]

I don't think the patch notes /update history are accurate for every single Joker yet because they're all manually compiled

maybe I'll look into doing that

[acoustic kettle]

Will it though

[pale wolf]

likely

[lunar zealot]

Absolutely not

[pale wolf]

The downside you would think is the deck bloat of generally not ideal cards from pax

[lunar zealot]

you unlock 100% of your brain when playing joker poker

[pale wolf]

The only reason it's not a big deal is because pairs are the meta

of course it is also a reason why pairs are the meta

[calm furnace]

at 0.25x you can just buy cards that wont lower the chances of pulling your hand

like more copies of the same card you are playing for 3oak/4oak

[acoustic kettle]

I don't think pairs can get worse

[calm furnace]

hologram mostly sucks with straights because its a senseitive hand

[pale wolf]

You only build for one rank ideally for matching rank hands like that

[calm furnace]

but holo works easily with 3oak and flushes and 2pair

[pale wolf]

Not really

Not flushes I would say

[calm furnace]

its very cheap and easy to suit change the cards you get

[wintry ice]

holo can work with arrow and agate but definitely not with aj

[calm furnace]

AJ def not

[pale wolf]

yeah but you don't just pick when you get those cards

[calm furnace]

AJ lives and dies with a balanced deck

[acoustic kettle]

Any new scaling joker will make pairs even better

[pale wolf]

How does hologram stop you from having a balanced deck

it just stops you from having a small deck

[calm furnace]

but on non AJ builds i never had problem with hologram with flushes

[slate vale]

D:
My deck is already completed

[calm furnace]

granted its not a real use case scneario since i play a lot of checkered

and on checkered you dont care much about bloat

[pastel gull]

make a steel king and pivot to baron mime

[slate vale]

Buh

[pastel gull]

speculative baron

[wintry ice]

aj also just doesn't need that much scoring outside of planet levels

[acoustic kettle]

Dusk

[calm furnace]

that too

the money you spent on scaling hologram is better spent on planet cards and finding rettrigger jokers

[ancient gyro]

aj dies with card digging boss blinds and larger deck size

[vocal rose]

interesting build

[calm furnace]

suit debuffs can be skipped into to avoid.

[wintry ice]

there's little reward to flushes outside of those 3 jokers and checkered anyways

[slate vale]

Lots of luckies
Dusk
Photochad
Big cat

[pale wolf]

cards digging boss Blinds

[calm furnace]

whats card digging?

[ancient gyro]

it will lower the chances of pulling specific value cards as its own whatever drawback

[wintry ice]

things that affect how many cards you can draw

like needle, water and mouth

[calm furnace]

the water is very annoying

[pale wolf]

serpent

[calm furnace]

yeah

[acoustic kettle]

Two of the worst scoring jokers in the same run

Crazy

[ancient gyro]

where did I say that

[vocal rose]

so fun

two good stickers

[calm furnace]

i assumed digging meant debuff

[shell dagger]

digging means digging

[acoustic kettle]

Digging is digging

[shell dagger]

:3

[pale wolf]

excavation

[calm furnace]

idk what digging is in context of playing cards

[pale wolf]

searching through your deck

[acoustic kettle]

Digging in your deck

[slate vale]

I haven't dusked since 3 antes D:
Please forgive me big cat

[calm furnace]

as in boss digging

[calm furnace]

better

[pale wolf]

🦓

[shell dagger]

deck digging

[calm furnace]

dusk hands are so slow

[vocal rose]

minecraft

[calm furnace]

gotta go fast

[ancient gyro]

terraria

[pale wolf]

In like an hour and a half

[ancient gyro]

🗣️

[pale wolf]

My mom left something in my car and I need to drop it off at her work

and they call me a fool!

[ancient gyro]

what a peanut

[slate vale]

It's my 5th showman of the run and 4th invis D:

Stop D:

3rd dna D:

[pale wolf]

Stockton to feel arriving way of golf mesmeade oh my goodness

[safe walrus]

Hi

[slate vale]

Hihihello

[safe walrus]

Meow meow

Yugioh binding of Isaac Balatro etc etc

[slate vale]

"decent" lucky cat

[pale wolf]

no cigs

[safe walrus]

Yawn not as good as a negative square

No square joker = bad run

[pale wolf]

You can't have a negative square

That's not how math works

[vocal rose]

god I love square joker

[safe walrus]

[safe walrus]

YESSYESSYES

YESSIRRR

WE TWINNIN

I LOVE SQAURE

[vocal rose]

i’d be dead without it

[safe walrus]

#1 SQAUEW LOVER EIFHT HERE

[slate vale]

Thanks you reminded me of my 2 negative eggs back to back (showman) on a swash run

[calm furnace]

why cant swashbucklet count it self

it needs self awarness

[slate vale]

Because i stole the mult

[safe walrus]

why can’t square always appear

Tiny joker is ass

[shell dagger]

imagine

[gloomy vigil]

how do I get more joker space

[shell dagger]

negative jokers (ectoplasm, negative tags, small chance of appearing naturally), antimatter voucher, black deck

[gloomy vigil]

I saw a negative once

couldnt afford it

[safe flower]

This is why my stats are so fucked lol

[slate vale]

Chadchadchadchad

True btw

[gloomy vigil]

should I take popcorn

[gloomy vigil]

instead of space joker

[shell dagger]

Blue is better here

Over mad joker probably

[gloomy vigil]

I am doing full double pair tho

[slate vale]

True

[gloomy vigil]

double pairs and three of a kinds

[slate vale]

Truer

[gloomy vigil]

I got like a level 6 double pair rn

[ancient gyro]

and u can still do that

[shell dagger]

Multiple +mult sources have diminishing returns as a %

[shell dagger]

Chips will usually be a bigger boost to score here

[raw whale]

this is now a degenerate run

[gloomy vigil]

k so take blue instead of mad ?

[shell dagger]

Ye

[olive basin]

But you won

[safe flower]

I did

[last geyser]

I have a question

[shell dagger]

#⚙・modding-general

Nvm it’s just a skin

[gloomy vigil]

idk bro

[raw whale]

lol

[gloomy vigil]

am not doing much better rn

[last geyser]

Is the celestial pack guaranteed to not have a mercury now?

[ancient gyro]

unless you use it before entering the pack, it can't show up

[last geyser]

So if I use it then it can still have it ?

[gloomy vigil]

level 10 two pair

🤑

[ancient gyro]

that's what I said

[gloomy vigil]

should have kept mad joker

[slate vale]

Huh
Bloodstone activated on every cards
Without Oops!
D:

[pale wolf]

no I'm pretty sure you imagined it

[slate vale]

Black deck 7 slots 💛

[violet trail]

Huh neat

[gloomy vigil]

is this worth getting rid of the space joeker

[slate vale]

Always

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[lunar zealot]

what is the gameplan here

[naive jolt]

Funni money heavy run
The Bull carry and smiley face + mult brainstorm gave just enough mult with planets

[lunar zealot]

ok next time you should focus on making money lowkenuinely

[gloomy vigil]

made it to ante 7 for the first time

[hardy fable]

no x mult or scaling mult in sight

[lunar zealot]

Cut him slack

he's very new

[hardy fable]

ye ig

[gloomy vigil]

I got like less tan 2 hours

[narrow igloo]

someone please help me

[tiny temple]

Congrats!

[ancient gyro]

dw tanning isn't good for you

[tiny temple]

Just unlocked all jokers, woooo

[narrow igloo]

please someone

i have no clue what do sell

[gloomy vigil]

is this a takers

[slate vale]

I did
Stone joker crying in the corner of the room

[narrow igloo]

if its a trib or perk i know what to do but if its not then im cooked

[naive jolt]

Nothing, just don't take the soul
Or if really then ig bloodstone or oops depending if your deck is lucky cards or normal

[violet trail]

Prolly that dice

[tiny temple]

Any suggestions for the "lower hand size to 5?" Unlock?

[naive jolt]

Bloodstone without dice is eh

[slate vale]

Nuh uh

[violet trail]

I know :3
I wanna ruin their run

[naive jolt]

But dice without lucky cards useless in build

[paper night]

spam ecto

[naive jolt]

So tbh skip soul

[hardy fable]

this is where I come in

[naive jolt]

You have a good setup

[hardy fable]

im the best

[slate vale]

Ante 7 soul is meh

[gloomy vigil]

chat do I take

[violet trail]

Man good thing nintendo didnt own balatro

[tiny temple]

Yeah I guess just do the deck that gets spectrals in shop and hope for stuntman?

[hardy fable]

yes

[vocal rose]

oh my god

[violet trail]

That le banana is op by the way
0.1 xmult increase after each play

[gloomy vigil]

what do I replace

[gloomy vigil]

eyesaac

[shell dagger]

Half isn’t doing anything if you’re playing 2 pair

[hardy fable]

you won't get any better if you let other people decide all the time

[gloomy vigil]

I do abit of three of a kind too

helps with that

but I guess I can make that card have more mult for everything in genral

[hardy fable]

think and what joker benefits you the least as of right now

[violet trail]

I forgot what that joker is called

I just call it sushi coupon

I mean sometimes it help
But if you consistently winning by one hand or 2

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[calm furnace]

common jokers only

[pearl moss]

another win

[calm furnace]

runner stop being goated

[pearl moss]

finally i got a 4 gold sticker

[narrow igloo]

wow thanks alot.

[slate vale]

It's cool that caven is common :D

[narrow igloo]

but if its a trib i win alot

[pearl moss]

usually i only do 2 because luck, but this was a good luck

[calm furnace]

and runner

[gloomy vigil]

holey moley made it to ante 8

[pearl moss]

going from 81% to 82%

is this progress

[paper night]

yes

[calm furnace]

its funny when i do a runner build i find endless straights and never whiff

but when i do a build that depends on straights they disappear

[pearl moss]

i am done with THE joker, now i can straight up ignore them

the hands joker that requires multiple same number cards

straight and flush is done

[gloomy vigil]

hear me out

[pearl moss]

the most annoying cards has yet to be finished
