[twilit storm]

i dont understand why copying photo is better then copying chad

[latent egret]

you are not playing glass am i correct

if not

copying chad makes it 2 (base trigger of photo) x2x2 (chad trigger) x2x2 (brainstorm copy chad)

with photo it it x2x2 (base trigger of photo+bs) x2x2 x2x2 (chad trigger)

2^6>2^5

[twilit storm]

ohh i get it now

[patent sail]

Bloodstone is only better if you get dice or just really lucky, thats where the unreliable part comes from

Its 2.25^7 if it hits every time, but thats unlikely to happen until you get dice

[calm furnace]

i fumlbed a run to greed invisible joker....

i shall retire

[patent sail]

Same today tbh 😭 sold chad thinking it will come back

[calm furnace]

i had baseball, poly runner and stencil

picked up invis

won small blind ante 7 thanks to steel card in hand

big blind instead of selling invis and winning

i sold baseball

and lost by 30k

build was guaranteed to beat anything but crimson and VV

[errant brook]

RIP me

I have an insane run going on profile where the collection is messed up

So I'm playing on plasma to get as much as possible, I don't even have Brainstorm unlocked. I have FIVE Blueprints right now

And I just realized the 2nd boss re-roll voucher has an unlock condition, so I can't win

Oh my god even worse

I unlocked it this run but because I didn't go back to the main menu it wouldn't show up -_-

[pearl moss]

Rip

It do be like that

[last geyser]

I might be cooking

[twilit storm]

how did u get to ante 7 with that build

[last geyser]

Got insanely lucky

Then

Ante 8

It’s the verdant leaf

But the first skip was a negative tag

Genuinely no clue how I won this

[pearl moss]

Grats

[last geyser]

But that’s +2 new gold stickers 🤗

[midnight hornet]

very juicy dna and hologram game

[plain briar]

what do i replace

[acoustic kettle]

Summit or swash

[plain briar]

okay I'll get rid of swash

I think summit gives a little more value

actually how much would swash go up when I buy brainstorm

[acoustic kettle]

This build is very

Building

[plain briar]

it's hanging by a thread

[acoustic kettle]

😭

[plain briar]

I'm barley winning antes but at least I'm winning

[acoustic kettle]

Photo and baron don't work with swash and summit at all

[plain briar]

yea ik but at least they helping me survive

haven't seen many good jokers

[torpid bridge]

Summit

Swash at least can scale

[acoustic kettle]

Two jokers scales swash

[calm furnace]

why wouldnt it

its a great build

[plain briar]

swash is can barely scale

egg and gift card

only

[wanton oracle]

It scales with natural negatives as well

Cant forget that

[torpid bridge]

3 polychrom is free x3 mults

[simple jacinth]

Maaan, this run was tight

I really didn't have enough chips

Holding a deja vu for the final round and hitting cryptid on glass let me one-shot but I don't think I would've won otherwise

and duo was big

this was bearing in mind my hologram was like 7.75X, chip deficiency made tht scary

[wispy coral]

Does indestructible jokers count as 0 for swash?

[pale wolf]

no?

they still have sell value

you just cant sell them

[wispy coral]

Oh

[pale wolf]

you can see by trying to sell it

[torpid bridge]

Eternal joker

In one moment i couldnt tell what is indestructible joker

[calm furnace]

rental banana is indestructible joker

[balmy epoch]

Finally managed to beat erratic deck gold stake

Idk why I had so much trouble with it but even black deck gold stake was a cakewalk compared to it

[grand dust]

Did the plant give you depression when you saw it?

[torpid bridge]

You were highroll on this of course

Balatro is rng game

Sometimes you beat black deck on first try only because you got highroll

[plain briar]

should i replace blue joker with swash

[balmy epoch]

Kinda, especially because I was going queens and found Trib right before it (the one time I was hoping for Chicot), but the relief from beating erratic gold stake was more than the depression

[grand dust]

Judged by the gift card, yes

[plain briar]

okay

[grand dust]

Also because you’re not on plasma so chips don’t matter as much

[balmy epoch]

Fair enough, double trade in rebate on ante 1 definitely helped my economy a lot

[grand dust]

We all pray for the ChiGOAT

But hey, at least you won

Congratulations

[torpid bridge]

Try the balala seed

[simple jacinth]

chigoated

[torpid bridge]

On goat stake

You wont regret playing

Trust me

[grand dust]

We love goat stake

[torpid bridge]

Try it

[grand dust]

I have

[torpid bridge]

Balala seed on goat stake

😂

[grand dust]

Balala seed on gold is misery

Goat stake lol

[torpid bridge]

It is the poorest shit ive ever seen

Everything is literally rental

Ive tried like

[grand dust]

And alot of eternals

[torpid bridge]

10 attempts

And cant beat it

Even i have the power of seeing the future

[balmy epoch]

I will

Anyways, 7 gold stakes done, 8 more to go

Next is probably yellow deck

[torpid bridge]

I actually play only goat stakes

I unlock the whole profile and only play gold stakes

Because the profile where I play genuinely was gone

Bugs happened when saving the game

[eager bluff]

What are good econ jokers beside mail in rebate?

[torpid bridge]

Golden ticket

Golden ticket can be way stronger than mail

If you have alot of gold cards and retrig

The value is insane

Probably the one joker that earn the most money if setup perfectly

[eager bluff]

Why u despise ride the bus :)))

[torpid bridge]

Because i accidentally play the face card

And boom

[torpid bridge]

Besides you also have to the moon, rocket

These are good because you dont need to care about how to make money with them

[eager bluff]

Egg?

[torpid bridge]

They give passive values

[torpid bridge]

Egg is the goat man

Egg cant be in the same tier as other jokers

[eager bluff]

And bussiness card and parking reserve?

[torpid bridge]

They are good

But not insane

Parking reserve can make alot of money if you have buglar and mime

But i still think at max potential it cant be comparable to golden ticket

[eager bluff]

Mime for gold card?

[torpid bridge]

Mime on gold card only make 6 per card

While golden ticket makes 8 per card with a red seal or retrig

But goldent ticket needs alot of work to be strong

And you cant play lucky build with it

Thats why mail is s tier

Mail works on all builds

[eager bluff]

Couldnt agree more

Mail is busted

[torpid bridge]

The only way that mail is unusable

Is by playing burglar

🙂

Burglar is best whit reserve parking

And high card

[eager bluff]

Another question. In ante 2 how do you survive off shops that dont have any tempo jokers or have but obelisk?

[eager bluff]

True :v

[torpid bridge]

You are cooked

[latent egret]

you will get a scoring joker before ante 2

[torpid bridge]

You should be taking at least one scoring joker from the first shop

[quartz ember]

planets

[latent egret]

or else win streaks would not be possible

but they are

[rich mauve]

by restarting

[torpid bridge]

Or highroll

[latent egret]

and obby is a free win btw

[eager bluff]

Cant go out without a fight

[frozen tendon]

hey guys, never done baron mime nan inf, trying to go for one now, i'd say it is going well, any tips? do i just save money or what?

[torpid bridge]

Couldn't agree more

Even obe on early ante is great

[eager bluff]

I am suck with obelisk

[rich mauve]

I find it terrible to fight against a what, 800 score requirement without any scoring joker

[torpid bridge]

Cuz you will know that you have to spam a single hand to stack it later

[rich mauve]

I just restart if it came down to that

[eager bluff]

Yeah but just curious how ppl gonna handle it

[torpid bridge]

Save around 3K money

[torpid bridge]

The thing is you shouldn't let it happen

[frozen tendon]

also looking at my deck should i grab dna for more steel or just use money for deck fixing?

[frozen tendon]

for what?

what am i looking for

[torpid bridge]

Good players like drspectre would take any scoring jokers in the first ante shops

[frozen tendon]

feel like i have the setup already, just need the serp which i already got and i haven't gotten the plnt

[torpid bridge]

Nitpicking in gold stakes only leads to losing

[torpid bridge]

You need around 2-4 blueprint/brainstorm more

[eager bluff]

The goat

[plain briar]

do i take showman

[quartz ember]

fix deck to more gold red seals, look for ecto, save money

[frozen tendon]

so would i need to sell one of my jokers for showman eventually and that's where the money goes?

[eager bluff]

Bruh need to play another run. Thank guys

[torpid bridge]

You need the nagative jokers

[frozen tendon]

i see

[torpid bridge]

And perkeo also

[quartz ember]

no you dont what

[torpid bridge]

If no perkeo you need to highroll

On bp/brainstorm

[quartz ember]

no??

perkeo is high rolling

[torpid bridge]

Its naneif

Anyway

To winante 39

Or naneif

You need highroll

[royal bobcat]

Idk I would rather have yorick or canio than perkeo

Perkeo ain't the legendary i'm hoping for most of the time

[torpid bridge]

Perkeo is only strong in naneif runs i think

Or ante 39

[frozen tendon]

i buy every voucher right? even playing cards?

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

No

Not playing cards

It floods your shop

Buy the blank voucher

You can get antimatter

[quartz ember]

i think you can buy the 1st level of tarot and maybe planet, but not the 2nd level

[royal bobcat]

No he is strong. If you low roll it's another golden joker that activates before interest (strong) but it's really not fun nor cool imo

If you really really low roll and have both discount vouchers it's only 2$

[quartz ember]

what you are looking for is:
another copy joker
DNA
Retcon (take any colas you see to maybe get a voucher skip)

and you need to save enough money to be able to roll for serpent after a24

[frozen tendon]

i just skipped past a dna lmao. if i come across another what do i replace it with

[torpid bridge]

😂

[quartz ember]

the card thats not baron, mime, or copy joker

[torpid bridge]

He only has them

😂

[frozen tendon]

this is true

[quartz ember]

in that case you dont take dna until you get ecto

[frozen tendon]

i mean, i have a negative zany joker so technically not true

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

Need an ecto

[quartz ember]

in the screenshot you sent you had a free joker slot though, so thats why i'm wondering

[frozen tendon]

oh

i did buy dark matter, didn't i..? 😅

thanks for pointing that out

[molten thicket]

it might be goodbye cat..

[simple jacinth]

wee, onyx, glass, troub, and steel to go before I'm C++ again

oh I lied there's dagger

[frozen tendon]

i found an invis, would selling mime assuming that is a bad copy be smart or dumb

selling mime so it doesn't hit mime i mean

[quartz ember]

just let it hit whatever

[frozen tendon]

it hit mime

lol

[quartz ember]

thats more econ for now to find another invis or showman

[signal frigate]

We need a Noita Collab frfr

[frozen tendon]

true

[signal frigate]

Theres 2 consistent ways to go Naneinf and currently, you seem to be heading the obnoxious and exhausting route

You need Retcon

And what floppa said

Get a fuckton of money

And about 3 to 4 copy jokers, if you're lucky, a negative that helps with handsize

Or give you hands

Then the strategy is, use your money to reroll boss blinds using Retcon until you get Serpent

[frozen tendon]

hopefully i get retcon before the face card debuff boss

[signal frigate]

You haven't encountered it earlier?

[frozen tendon]

i'm a multiplayer guy so i don't know the name

[signal frigate]

Plant.

[frozen tendon]

i don't think so? like 80% certain i haven't

[signal frigate]

The same bossblinds don't appear twice in the same run

[frozen tendon]

and the only voucher i've skipped is cards

yeah i know

[signal frigate]

So if you already encountered the Plant

[frozen tendon]

i don'

[signal frigate]

You won't encounter it again

[frozen tendon]

t think i have though

i guess we'll see

[signal frigate]

Then you're running on thin ice

Try to be careful

[plain briar]

might of taken 2 ectos :(

[frozen tendon]

should i buy a luchaodor just to be safe? or prob not

i have $500

[signal frigate]

Only when you need to

[signal frigate]

That's fine, just don't take anymore

You should've went all in on Trib

[plain briar]

wdym by that

[quartz ember]

you have baron and trib which work in opposite ways

and since you have 5 hand size baron is anyways alot worse

[plain briar]

oh true

i got juggler just now

so 6 hand size

[signal frigate]

Eh you're not gonna last long either way if you stay on baron

If you want that run to go far, grab a sock

Get rid of baron once you see a sock and buskin

[plain briar]

this is my current hand

what should i aim to pivot to

[signal frigate]

And then kill every non kings you have, stick to one suit and then grab copies of Idol to get an epic run

[plain briar]

this is my deck

[frozen tendon]

facing the boss blind "must play 5 cards" should i be worried?

[signal frigate]

Just stick to Trib, your handsize is pretty bad for Baron

[signal frigate]

What's your top hand?

[modern panther]

Really game? You couldn't give me them separately?

[frozen tendon]

with my setup or will i clear

[plain briar]

so flush 5? or what

[signal frigate]

Eh, it's annoying but you should be able to clear it

[signal frigate]

Yes

Again, Baron sucks now

Why are you insisting on sticking to that?

[signal frigate]

What's your top hand?

[signal frigate]

Mfw

[signal frigate]

I mean your score

[frozen tendon]

could flush 5 rest red seal steel

just scored e51 high card

[signal frigate]

What's your current ante?

[frozen tendon]

15

[signal frigate]

I think you're good

Do you have the reroll voucher?

The first one

Not retcon

[plain briar]

so with flush 5 what do i copy

[frozen tendon]

no

i've gotten no reroll vouchers lol

[signal frigate]

Well, goodluck

[signal frigate]

Trib because you have no retrigger joker

You have red seals though

[hardy fable]

very good condition for baron

[plain briar]

should i be aiming to make my kings glass or is all steel fine

[signal frigate]

Stuntman stays winning

[signal frigate]

Riddle me this, what does Trib want you to do??

[hardy fable]

stuntmen

[hardy fable]

🙋

[plain briar]

wants me to play my kings

so glass

and poly

if im able

[signal frigate]

Good job.

[hardy fable]

PLAY KINGS AND QUEENS

damn it

[plain briar]

thank you

[signal frigate]

You get an A for effort

[signal frigate]

Also, focus on culling the rest of your cards that aren't kings

[hardy fable]

apparently I do not have an image of stuntman that can be depicted as joy

will make one later

[signal frigate]

Can't wait to see

[plain briar]

yea i am

and im rolling down to find idol or anything

but i cant

[signal frigate]

Also don't forget to convert them to one suit you've already encountered the boss of

I've done a funny mistake once, forgetting to do this after I encountered the Plant

So I got giga countered by the Head because I stuck to hearts

[plain briar]

yea fair

dont even remeber what suit boss i encountered

i have director cut anyway

[molten thicket]

whats it gonna be

[signal frigate]

Huge risk but I think one of your photos should be fine

It's ante 6

If it's Trib, you're cooking

[molten thicket]

ik lol

it was chicot..

[signal frigate]

Actually??

I'll take it

Plant is nasty

Just sell it once it did it's job

[molten thicket]

yeah

ooh

[plain briar]

what joker should i be looking for?

[molten thicket]

i think i sell chicot

[molten thicket]

rebate

definitely

[plain briar]

mmm yes I think I need money

[latent egret]

round 17 52 card deck 😭

cmon man

[molten thicket]

my earlygame econ was so shit i was surviving off stale cereal and +20mult triggers

[mortal needle]

Took me like 8 or 9 tries but finally did 15 Minute City 👍

[stable owl]

Just unlocked bloodstone
Is it viable to use dice joker make it 1/1 probability then use the lucky cat to multiply?

[pale wolf]

its the only viable way to use bloodstone, yea

oops, i mean

lucky cat is a bonus, joker xmult basically always works the same on any type of scoring

[stable owl]

But the cat is gonna skyrocket with each bloodstone trigger?

[pale wolf]

no

lucky cat triggers once

oh you mean scaling? no, that's for lucky cards

not just any probability

[royal bobcat]

The only way to make bloodstone viable is oops, yes. But cat can make you win on its own so

[stable owl]

Nvm I thought it’s all probability

[royal bobcat]

I mean oops.does help cat

Because lucky cards go off more

But cat rly doesn't need it

[pale wolf]

oops is good for cat, yea, it doubles lucky procs on average

[royal bobcat]

It's kinda win-more in most cases

[tardy cosmos]

um can i send a seed that i got ( and fucked up ) that had a brain storm second shop and baron and allat

i just wanna know what i did wrong and stuff

[pearl moss]

finally got popcorn

[pale wolf]

you could, tho if i were gonna play it on gold stake i almost certainly am not taking baron

lol

[pearl moss]

that's 2 more new gold sticker

[tardy cosmos]

oh no dont worry

white stake ghost dexk

[pale wolf]

meh

[tardy cosmos]

THLIVU5Q

here you go

[royal bobcat]

I think if you're losing to white stake you should just play more

[tardy cosmos]

theres also a chicot at ante 12 which i thought was funny

[royal bobcat]

We can give you advice for gold stakz

But it's a bit far from u rn

[pale wolf]

https://spectralpack.github.io/TheSoul/

[tardy cosmos]

Oh no i did win

[royal bobcat]

Oh you're going endless?

[tardy cosmos]

yea

[royal bobcat]

Blah

We ain't doing endless here

[tardy cosmos]

Ohhhhh

[pale wolf]

some people do

[tardy cosmos]

my bad g

[pale wolf]

not me tho haha

[royal bobcat]

Well, most of us don't*

[tardy cosmos]

i feel like endless is much more interesting than gold stake normal

imo

[pale wolf]

endless is allowed in here but you could also post in #🌱・seed-chat

[royal bobcat]

Nah

[tardy cosmos]

thank you

[royal bobcat]

Gold stake is so much more interesting

[pale wolf]

there's only like 10 viable jokers and 1 viable game plan to go deep in endless, its a very shallow meta

[pearl moss]

i survived against VV

[tardy cosmos]

Oh so its kinda luck based

[royal bobcat]

We like having diversity in runs more than big numbers

But if you like big numbers endless is better

[pearl moss]

2 throwback full on skip blind with blueprint

[pale wolf]

well, not really

kinda

[pearl moss]

so i was able to get 2 free gold sticker

[pale wolf]

your chances of winning are not luck based

the game is almost entirely skill

[tardy cosmos]

im talking about getting a far run in endless

Ante 16+

[royal bobcat]

What I like in Balatro is getting a build that works, not play 20 antes with said build without changing it

[pale wolf]

same for that

[pearl moss]

well beside the final boss stake.

i dont like VV

[pale wolf]

its just income generation and seeing enough options,

[pearl moss]

it involve too much investment

[pale wolf]

but you end up just looking for the same 5 things every run when you play endless which seems not fun to me

i can earn a lot of money and roll deep yea but idk i dont get much from it

rather overcome a difficult obstacle

[tardy cosmos]

I might try gold stake then

[royal bobcat]

Gold stake is hard

Definitely

[pearl moss]

rerolling sucks balls, i have never gotten something worth

😭

[royal bobcat]

But I find it more gratifying

[pale wolf]

that cant be true

[pearl moss]

unless i am rerolling more than 6 times

i dont go more than that

[pale wolf]

rerolling is like where a lot of the jokers come from

[royal bobcat]

Rerolling is how you win

[pale wolf]

50% of shop slots are jokers

[pearl moss]

but jokers i end up with are joker i cant use at all 🙁

[pale wolf]

but only like 8% of booster packs are buffoon packs

[pearl moss]

i am sure rerolling is good, but unless you get that money generation going

you are not rerolling often

[royal bobcat]

If I can be honest and go off topic a little
I'm surprised Balatro has that much staying power

[pearl moss]

this close

[pale wolf]

money gen usually is active in round 5

[wicked sequoia]

May I please have some hack kind sir

[pearl moss]

10% more

and i will be done and uninstalling

[pale wolf]

half jokular

[royal bobcat]

Cheaterrr

Haxxor

[wicked sequoia]

No I dont have him thats the whole issue

[pearl moss]

no wee joker

[royal bobcat]

Shit ure right

[pearl moss]

i want my money gen at ante 2 🃏

yes i use lucky card

fight me

[wicked sequoia]

Holy shit he arrived

[royal bobcat]

Why would you not use lucky cards

[pearl moss]

a bit late for wee

[wicked sequoia]

we ballin

[pearl moss]

could have build a large chip during the beginning

[wicked sequoia]

shop kindly included an ecto

[pearl moss]

18 left joker to go

the most annoying joker is already done popcorn and grosmichel is done

invisible is done

only remaining annoying one is soda

[wicked sequoia]

mmm another hack

double cheat

[pearl moss]

i think i can do it within a weeks time

[frozen tendon]

@signal frigate welp, ante 21 and i face the plant

[pearl moss]

or maybe 2 week

if i get lucky enough

[frozen tendon]

and my ante 21 voucher is playing cards

don't think i can escape this one

do i just role for luchador? feel like i die regardless lol

[signal frigate]

Your gambit is spending the money to try and roll into Luchadore

[frozen tendon]

my max score was e59 boss blind e51

am i scoring that -mime anyways?

i'll def try

[signal frigate]

It's a decent score regardless

[frozen tendon]

but i don't think so

[frozen tendon]

edit

[signal frigate]

You can always roll it again if you get Luchadore early

[frozen tendon]

unfortuante

and no voucher skips whole game

[weak seal]

pals, is jimbo's voice supposed to be pitched up if you win a run w/ wee joker or is this a bug?

[frozen tendon]

i knew i was baron mime naneinf so i checked every time

[wicked sequoia]

Amazing stuntman

[eager bluff]

How do you guys justify the rental sticker?

[wicked sequoia]

The lesson here is: complaining works

[wicked sequoia]

winning

[marsh dove]

w pants

[eager bluff]

I know :)) but in shop which jokers worth the rental

[marsh dove]

depends

[wicked sequoia]

The ones you need

[marsh dove]

how good is ur econ

or how much do u need it

if its something that pays for itself like rebate always take tho

[silk cobalt]

Something OP like blueprint brainstorm

Or ur main scorer joker

[wicked sequoia]

every decision in balatro is context dependant

[eager bluff]

Mostly is a problem in early shop

Rental banana?

Rental egg?

[pale wolf]

some economy ones, some you can take and use for the round before selling, so you dont pay a rental fee, sometimes when you already have income you can manage one that helps with other things

[marsh dove]

fr
an eternal rental credit card could even be the play in some situations
rare asf situations but you can justify nearly anything if you're in a specific enough pickle

[pale wolf]

this is bad advice

[eager bluff]

I am aware of it

[pale wolf]

seeing a rental blueprint r1 will kill you

[wicked sequoia]

seeing a blueprint r1 will kill you

[marsh dove]

rebate next shop 🙏

[pale wolf]

blueprint is fine rental when you can use it to actually help your income

whether thru winning in 1 hand or doubling econ gen

[silk cobalt]

True... econ early is needed but the example I was thinking of was mid to late lol

[pale wolf]

but often a 2x to a mult joker is not worth the rental fee early game

[pearl moss]

bro is broke

[eager bluff]

Mid to late shouldnt be a problem since ur build is set up and everythings

[modern panther]

"Here, win"

[pale wolf]

many value gen rentals i'll take out of principle

[marsh dove]

i needed the 20x campfire 🙏

[wicked sequoia]

I forgot how long idol runs take after only playing to ante8 for a while

[modern panther]

Just need mime

[wicked sequoia]

how many kings in deck

[pale wolf]

only 1, the K

[wicked sequoia]

it's him

john king

[frozen tendon]

welp, thousands spent in rolling and no luchadore. unlucky, no retcon is crazy. wonder if i bought playing cards if i would've had it now instead of playing cards, probably.

[signal frigate]

It was actually better to exhaust the Voucher pool

So you buying Magic Trick was maybe a good play

[frozen tendon]

i thought so especially since i had all my jokers

but i did not so unfortunate

unless this wins

fingers crossed

nope

[signal frigate]

E60 is a good score though

[frozen tendon]

def, my old high score was like e40 sum

everytime i go for baron runs i run into the plant, one day i will have retcon before then and bam naneinf

[weak seal]

anyone?-

[stable owl]

Dang how close are you from naneif

[frozen tendon]

im not sure, that was my best attempt yet. I don’t think very far

[stable owl]

You guys are so good at the game I’m still at purple stake checkered

[frozen tendon]

jimbos voice..?

[stable owl]

😭

[weak seal]

yeah, at the end of a normal run

[frozen tendon]

I haven’t done gold stake for checkered deck, I don’t think at least. That deck is so boring to me

[lunar zealot]

Are you playing on a higher game speed

[wicked sequoia]

You're off by a magnitude of 250~

[frozen tendon]

Oh, I’m not sure I usually play with the audio off

[weak seal]

yeah but i dont remember if that affects jimbo's pitch

[lunar zealot]

it does

[weak seal]

wait really?

[granite sandal]

please, PLEASE, for the love of whoever you find holy, don't take that uncommon skip tag

[lunar zealot]

Yessir but you have to click endless mode just as jimbo appears

[wicked sequoia]

I think jimbo pitches up if you're fast on clicking next round

[lunar zealot]

so it speeds him up

[weak seal]

ohhh

[stable owl]

That’s my way to cheese the first gold stake

[weak seal]

yeah i might've done that lol

[stable owl]

Flush synergy feels easier

[frozen tendon]

when I am playing multiplayer and this joker pops up I get so sad knowing I have to take it and use it or I lose but also who tf takes uncommon skips 😭

[frozen tendon]

yellow and ghost are prob the easiest imo

or blue/red ofc

[granite sandal]

i do uncommon and rare skips on ante 1 in the higher stakes sometimes

[torpid bridge]

Me

I used to skip for uncommon tag

I want mime

[stable owl]

Or sock

[frozen tendon]

I use to skip for bloodstone, we are not the same

[stable owl]

I just unlocked bloodstone last night

Didn’t get to try it

[wicked sequoia]

evil bloodstone

Don't let it fool you

[torpid bridge]

Bloodstone is rng

[magic cosmos]

did someone mention bloodstone

[wicked sequoia]

blessed bloodstone hater

🙏

[molten thicket]

we ALL skipping for bloodstone

[torpid bridge]

But with enough retrigger i think the ratio is pretty much correct

[wicked sequoia]

bloodstone is a funny guy

he will miss when you need him the most

[magic cosmos]

we dont tolerate that garbage here

[magic cosmos]

NUH UH

[molten thicket]

seems like someone's bloodstone fell asleep

[magic cosmos]

yeah like every bloodstone ever missing 11 out of 10 times

[calm furnace]

teller carried my run earlier but damn it's sad hes eternal

[wicked sequoia]

ecto in spectral

trust

[calm furnace]

and spent so much time scaling runner only to find burnt joker

then i sell burnt joker find ankh get another brainstorm

reroll and find burnt again

[glossy forge]

What a life...

[molten thicket]

eitsp

[stable owl]

3 brainstorm wtf

[calm furnace]

run ended

[stable owl]

Eternal ftw

[calm furnace]

crazy run i skipped into a joker pack skip because i only had runner at ante 2 and i find teller and brainstorm

[glossy forge]

Do I drop the madness

[magic cosmos]

funny funger skeleton

[glossy forge]

For blueprint

[stable owl]

How big is he

[glossy forge]

He's at 2.5x

[torpid bridge]

Photochad does x8

[glossy forge]

Yeah I think blueprint is the call

[torpid bridge]

Take the bp and copy photo

[silk cobalt]

eternal Photo Chad with Madness is 🔥 tho the blueprint is...
Maybe sell the madness coz photo is exponential with more retriggers

[glossy forge]

HES BACK AAAAAAA

[torpid bridge]

I had a two madness run i think

Chat can I send cattos here

Ah mvm

This is game discussion

[stable owl]

Weirdly the blade doesn’t work with eternal while madness does??

[wicked sequoia]

madness cant kill eternals either

[latent egret]

the blade needs blood to grow

[torpid bridge]

He means madness does increase xmult

[latent egret]

madness grows in spite of killing not because of it

[wicked sequoia]

Madness will grow without any jokers to destroy too

[granite sandal]

yeah, madness' description says that it destroys a random jimbo and increases by 0.25, but they happen independently

meanwhile blade won't grow because there's no jimbo to extract sell value from

[glossy forge]

Stale bread and warm water run

[modern panther]

Indecision AAAAAAA

[calm furnace]

easy take the constellation

gg

[glossy forge]

BRO my new run ain't real

Gros Michel INSTANT POP

I'm cruising on editions rn 😭

[modern panther]

Grimbo bloker run?

The boi is back, and doesn't tank my econ!

[native cape]

What jokers can I swap juggler for to make this better?

[silk cobalt]

My first ever Gold Stakes win 🔥

[magic cosmos]

just sell the smiley face its doing none

[modern panther]

Ggs! Congrats!

[magic cosmos]

thats plasma deck

[native cape]

Oh ok

[green apex]

hearts?

[torpid bridge]

Lucky cat i think

Retrigget works well with lucky cat

[native cape]

Is this the best order to have them?

[torpid bridge]

Insane scaling

[native cape]

I've not seen cat yet this run 😭

[quartz ember]

well mister bones is pretty good there ig

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

Mrbone is good

[quartz ember]

no, you want to copy scary face or photo depending if you are going for chips or mult

[native cape]

Probably chips then

So if I see blueprint get rid of photograph?

I keep forgetting I'm on plasma 🤪

[quartz ember]

no, you get rid of scary face

[torpid bridge]

Then how do you score?

Photo is x16

[magic cosmos]

try a hand where u copy the photo and see ur score and if ur set to move from chips and sell the scary face

[magic cosmos]

no scary face

[quartz ember]

another copy of scary face would give you 1.5-2x chips, whereas another copy of photo would give x16 mult

[native cape]

I just found blueprint 👀

[quartz ember]

well thats nice

[torpid bridge]

Sell scary

[magic cosmos]

scary face should go

[quartz ember]

time to face plant

[magic cosmos]

yup

[torpid bridge]

What hand do you play tho?

[native cape]

I've been doing full houses

[azure wasp]

I breezed through the first 17 challenges but the Needle one is giving me fits. any tricks to it?

[native cape]

With picture cards

[torpid bridge]

Did you deck fix?

[quartz ember]

thats not great cause thats hard to draw

[magic cosmos]

whats the base mult in ur hand?

[wicked sequoia]

Quite incredible omelette start

[quartz ember]

but at least with photo you only need either to be faces

[magic cosmos]

def not look how many cards they have

[native cape]

I haven't done any deck fixing or used any planet cards yet 😬

[quartz ember]

doesnt matter, any hand with a face card wins

[simple jacinth]

just hit the fattest ouija

[native cape]

I just did a 154m hand

Guess that's good

[magic cosmos]

not high card tho

[quartz ember]

yes high card

[torpid bridge]

Well you can play flush if cant draw full house anyway

Only need a single face card

[quartz ember]

a single face scores like a million

[magic cosmos]

the score will be way less

[torpid bridge]

High card will be (~50) x 256

Which will be around 20k

In plasma deck

Pair gonna score 100k i think

Provided that he didnt upgrade any planet

[quartz ember]

oh without the blueprint?

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[quartz ember]

I took bp into account

[torpid bridge]

Without bp

[native cape]

I got 4m from a high card

[quartz ember]

exactly as calculated

[native cape]

I'm going to start buying Pluto's ig

And turn everything into face cards

[quartz ember]

thats a bad idea

[native cape]

Oh

[quartz ember]

you should realistically just focus on making everything in your deck the same card

and playing as high x of a kind as you can

[native cape]

Yea I'm going for kings incase I see that king 1.5x joker

[quartz ember]

i mean yea you can play high card but you dont really need to waste money levelling it up

[swift tundra]

Just wanted to share this nice spread

[torpid bridge]

Need to replace the forutune teller

To get x1.5 more

[swift tundra]

He’s at +69 and I’m on the last ante, but yeah he’s the odd man out for sure

Verdant leaf getting blown tf out, 1 million first hand, don’t ever come back around these parts

[native cape]

My best hand so far is 610m for a 5 of a kind

Thought it would be higher tbf

[glossy forge]

ROCK AND STONE

[torpid bridge]

If you have red seals you can double that number

[quartz ember]

and glass (and steel is also important)

[lunar zealot]

Hello

[native cape]

Yes I'm slowly turning my cards gold/steel

[swift tundra]

Lmao Kami I thought of you when I saved that screenshot 🤣

And your mantra

It was running through my head, the unbeatable value of baseball card

[native cape]

New highest

[torpid bridge]

@fervent wolf mentioned

[native cape]

Oh dear...

[swift tundra]

I’m on the last stake of the last deck on second c+ profile now, I don’t think I will do c++ again though, or maybe I will who knows

[lunar zealot]

bye sock

[torpid bridge]

Sell sock

[lunar zealot]

Copy chad with blueprint

[native cape]

Oke

[torpid bridge]

Oh kami are you a deadlock player

[spark kernel]

Im having trouble unlocking this joker

[torpid bridge]

Play zodiac or magic deck

There will be alot of tarots

[dapper belfry]

use the card that turns all face cards into gold

midas mask

Then paredoila if you can get it

[spark kernel]

Im doing that but midas mask is rarely appearing or appears at the worst posssible times

[dapper belfry]

Gamble!

[torpid bridge]

Just play on white stake and zodiac deck

[dapper belfry]

[torpid bridge]

Get alot of death and fool

[silk cobalt]

Guys, any tip on unlocking the "Needs to have $400 at one point" joker easier?

[torpid bridge]

Flush five is not hard to get on white stake

[dapper belfry]

Checkers deck is easy for doing setups because you can do a ton of flushes while saving cash

[torpid bridge]

Again, play magic deck

[dapper belfry]

rocket early

[torpid bridge]

I would recommend mail in rebait or golden ticket

[spark kernel]

The natural negative would of been so good if i was doing a regular run

[torpid bridge]

Or reserve parking if you have mime

[quartz ember]

just play well on white stake maximizing econ and youll get there

[dapper belfry]

take it anyways

[quartz ember]

you can also do anaglyph deck for double money skips if you get lucky

[dapper belfry]

and just wait for anothe rparadoila

[native cape]

Yippie, just did 2.7b on a high card too somehow 🤷‍♂️😂

[torpid bridge]

Yesh

[spark kernel]

Im trying to unlock a joker that wants me to play 5 gold cards

[dapper belfry]

plasma deck 😭

[torpid bridge]

Photochad is OP

[dapper belfry]

ye but you need some money to get midas mask

[torpid bridge]

Thats why chad is nerfed in multiplayer mod

[native cape]

Let's see how far my lack of ability can get me on this 😂 I'll probably die on ante 10

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

It wont last beyond ante 10

[atomic trout]

It's hard on Ante 12 haha

[torpid bridge]

I think ante 12 already reaches e score?

Am i remembering it right

[lunar zealot]

200m

[glossy forge]

I wish Stone Five was a real hand

[lunar zealot]

it is

it's a high card

[torpid bridge]

How big is stone

[atomic trout]

High Card 🥑

The best way to play

[swift tundra]

High of a kind

[wicked sequoia]

What do yall think of my 15min city build

[native cape]

Do I sell sock?

[quartz ember]

no

well

[swift tundra]

People think painted deck is hard but really you only need three joker slots

[torpid bridge]

You can pivot into an idol build

Gonna be way stronger than now

[quartz ember]

it would increase your score by a bit

but then you are kinda locked into photograph

[torpid bridge]

Painted deck is goated with steel build

[native cape]

W

[torpid bridge]

Now you cant pivot to idol build

[native cape]

Idk what idol build is 👀

[torpid bridge]

😭

Replace photo with idol

[quartz ember]

well you can but its more effort

[modern panther]

Misprint is an ass joker, change my mind

[torpid bridge]

I dont

[quartz ember]

I wont

[quartz ember]

you really want some copies of glass cards

[cold island]

why does blueprint look like that

[modern panther]

QoL mod

[wicked sequoia]

mod

[cold island]

wazzat

[wicked sequoia]

My masterwork

it's complete

[grave hamlet]

Wth type of seed is this

[quartz ember]

coolest type

[wicked sequoia]

build that makes me say "fuck yeah"

[grave hamlet]

You start of ante 4 with 3 polychrome gift cards and a gross Michele dying and coming back😭

[ancient gyro]

all the colors of december

[modern panther]

I made 8-ball good!

[grave hamlet]

This would be a crazy gold stake seed if they don't get slapped with bad tags

[ancient gyro]

dies from no scoring

[modern panther]

Yep

Tempting...

[quartz ember]

fingers crossed you find a good 6th joker quick

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[modern panther]

I just realized, the only 2 legendaries I can get from soul now are Perkeo and Trib

[torpid bridge]

Winning seed

3 poly is a free x3

[blissful fog]

Would be better if you had 1 copy on the chad

[grave hamlet]

Either I get a better build or I keep funny, hmmm

[ancient gyro]

well this is awkward (diamond boss)

[modern panther]

"Balance your mult and retriggers"
-Roffle

[torpid bridge]

Current build is better

X4 is mid

We need gift card

[modern panther]

You should get a gegg

[grave hamlet]

I don't plan to go past ante 8 with this I doubt it'll go far

[torpid bridge]

It can

You are on white stake

[grave hamlet]

Since it's a static +15 mult scaling

It'll probably stop around ante 11 or so

[torpid bridge]

3 polychrome is a free x3

[grave hamlet]

Ik

But the scaling is +15

[torpid bridge]

White stake is easy

[grave hamlet]

Ok? What's that gotta do with what I'm saying 😭

[torpid bridge]

It means you get past ante 8 with that build

[grave hamlet]

Yeah I know I beat the run that obvious

But it gets stopped right after

[torpid bridge]

How long you wanna drag it to

[serene forge]

I hate Smiley Face

[ancient gyro]

you would do the same thing here

be so fr

[grave hamlet]

Another invis joker, I have to do it

[serene forge]

no i would not play black deck

[grave hamlet]

Not getting any good planet or aces so not gonna go for long

[torpid bridge]

Honestly if you wanna go long you shouldn't be playing swashbuckler from the start

Play something like lucky cat

[ancient gyro]

technically one of the better hex targets

[torpid bridge]

I once had a 4 acient run

4 ancients and 1 sock

Weak ass tho

3 ancients and 2 socks better

But invis never copied sock

[modern panther]

I was honestly waiting for someone to ask how I couldn't hit the others from a Soul

[simple jacinth]

ironic

invis just keeps odd socks

[grave hamlet]

Died at ante 11 like I said

Here you can have the seed if you want to optimize the fun out of it: V1XMV98G

[ancient gyro]

i hate android autocorrect, I was trying to say hex

[ancient gyro]

endgoal for a seed like that is to either farm funny joker stats or play something "unique"

[pale wolf]

beep

[spark kernel]

Back to back holographic

[wintry ice]

this would be a really good one on any other deck

[atomic trout]

Ante 12 reached. 🥑🧅🍅🧄

High Card Champ

[ancient gyro]

maybe they still have their 5s and 10s

[atomic trout]

Then again White Stakes is easy as hell.

[spark kernel]

Gng im trying to unlock have 30 clubs or diamond

[wintry ice]

ic

[rose jolt]

Photochad final boss

[quartz ember]

why are you not copying photo

[rose jolt]

Woops that was before I moved the jokers

[quartz ember]

ah ok, as long as you know what to do

[manic minnow]

you can get natural negative legendaries?

[pale wolf]

yes

they have editions at the same rate as any other joker

[spark kernel]

Flush five ahh moment

[marsh goblet]

first run of the day, first two joker options i had was midas and faceless on abandoned deck </3

and then i saw ANOTHER FACELESS two shops later

[placid quartz]

whats th eoptimal lineup here

[marsh goblet]

at least i got an ante 2 runner which is gonna be so many chips

[bleak hemlock]

im missing one puzzle piece xD

neverfuckingmind

[placid quartz]

you will find it in ante 11

oh

[bleak hemlock]

XD

[placid quartz]

lucky

[marsh goblet]

IM GONNA MALD

[quartz ember]

just copying photo

[placid quartz]

aight

[tidal valley]

A few tarot card ideas
-Balance
—select up to 3 cards, change the ranks of each to the average of each rounded up (if average is a face card, it will pick kings)
-Shrine
—+1$ for every card missing in deck below 52
-slate
—choose up to 3 enhanced cards to remove the enhancement off of, give 4$ each
-Sledge
—Pick 1 card to destroy and make 2 copies of with half the rank rounded up (ex: 8 > 4 & 4)
-Carve
—select 1 card to decrease the rank of by 2
-Static
—Select 3 cards to become the same random enhancement suit, and rank

[midnight talon]

guys give me the best joker combos

[midnight talon]

idk why but i dont use tarot cards :/

[cyan tendon]

I wanna see a meme of like 2 knights fighting but their helmets are replaced by Verdant Leaf and Luchador icons

[quartz ember]

well theres your problem

[midnight talon]

what problem

i never got the idea of tarot cards tbh

[cyan tendon]

Really?

[midnight talon]

yea

[quartz ember]

problem of why you are not as good at the game as you could be

[marsh goblet]

certificate has given me 5 blue seals out of the 7 rounds i've had it good lord

[cyan tendon]

Certificate and hologram combo is literally the reason why I exist

[quartz ember]

I dont think we need more tarots but if we did then these would be pretty dang good

[marsh goblet]

certificate is out here mogging burnt joker

[cyan tendon]

There is nothing more satisfying than beating violet vessel on your last hand because hologram came through with x11 multiplier

[marsh goblet]

it's round 10 and i already have a level 20 pair

[cyan tendon]

how

[tidal valley]

Oh yesterday i did around 40 polls to make a bracket of every joker in the game in here and the finalists were seeing double and cavendish

Cavendish won

[cyan tendon]

did you like skip a few times?

I’m sorry what

What beat perk?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vocal rose]

no surprise

[vocal rose]

perkeo isn't even top 10

[cyan tendon]

I like bloodstone

[tidal valley]

Yorick was the legend that won its poll, it and brainstorm were both beat out by seeing double

[vocal rose]

LOL

[tidal valley]

Blueprint was beat by certificate

[cyan tendon]

YOOO

LETS GO CERTIFICATE

[vocal rose]

thats funny

cert is very good though

[tidal valley]

Certificate lost to cavendish though

[marsh goblet]

zero skips

[cyan tendon]

what round did hologram get to

[cyan tendon]

Wow

[marsh goblet]

i just got early burnt joker and certificate

and certificate kept giving me blue seals

and i got crystal ball voucher

[tidal valley]

Hologram lost to cavendish

[cyan tendon]

nooo

[tidal valley]

Its was round 2

[cyan tendon]

my two favorites

lost to a banana

😭

[vocal rose]

a really good banana

[tidal valley]

funny thing is that gros michel made it do round 3 and almost beat cavendish

[marsh goblet]

probably won't be useful but i'll take it ig

[tidal valley]

Lost by 1 vote

[cyan tendon]

how does something with only 3x Mult beat hologram which can easily get to 6x Mult on a casual run

how though

[tidal valley]

Well you purposely have to mud your deck to get it that way unless you can play around it

[cyan tendon]

oh cuz you can’t get cavendish without gros michel

[tidal valley]

Like with dna or something

[vocal rose]

"only 3x mult"

[cyan tendon]

hey man hologram makes it look tiny

[vocal rose]

it doesn't

because it has to build up to that level

[cyan tendon]

it does

[tidal valley]

Cavendish is much easier to get running

[vocal rose]

when cavendish is just unconditional X mult

[cyan tendon]

certificate and hologram

[vocal rose]

with no money investment

[cyan tendon]

and dna

nah

[vocal rose]

okay

yes it will be better if you give it other jokers

lmfao

thats stupid

[spark kernel]

I found this on tiktok 😭 🙏

[tidal valley]

My first ever ante 8+ run was with blueprint holo and marble lmao

[cyan tendon]

imo the best run for hologram is holo, canio, trading card, certificate

LOL

[cyan tendon]

WHAT IS THAT

[tidal valley]

I love polychrome with a condition

[vocal rose]

holo and cert think they're apart of the team

[cyan tendon]

yes

they go together

and then spam the kings and face cards

[vocal rose]

okay but

[cyan tendon]

destroy them

[vocal rose]

you have canio and trading card

[cyan tendon]

canio and hologram value

[vocal rose]

completely unnecessary

[cyan tendon]

maybe certificate isn’t necessary

[tidal valley]

I was playing modded earlier and i had a run with a modded seal where if a card with that seal was destroyed it would make a copy

[vocal rose]

holo gets outscaled by .75x per ante

[wintry ice]

"this joker is better if you have an specific uncommon and an specific rare so it's just better in general"

[tidal valley]

And like i had a trading card

So my holo was going wild

[cyan tendon]

lol

[tidal valley]

I also at some point found a joker that scaled +12 chips per card destroyed

[terse vale]

yello

[cyan tendon]

hologram if you Ankh it early is good enough to beat gold stake

[terse vale]

oh we’re doing this again

[tidal valley]

And then i found one that adds a cards chip value to its mult when a card is destroyed

[terse vale]

fuuuckkkk

[cyan tendon]

Crazy

[vocal rose]

if you ankh cav early you get 9x for the rest of the run

[wintry ice]

i'd expect most scaling xmult jokers to be

[vocal rose]

🤯

[terse vale]

cavendish is better than hologram that’s literally it

[cyan tendon]

right but how do you get cavendish that early man

[wintry ice]

it's also like ankhing a joker ante 1 isn't the only way to determine it's viability

[tidal valley]

So my full playstyle was hoping that my glass eternal seal jacks would break or i just used trading card

[cyan tendon]

you gotta get gros and have it break extremely fast

[tidal valley]

I made it to like ante 17

[tidal valley]

Then lost

[cyan tendon]

Rip
