Nvm

[nova elk]

Rip, at the final boss😔

[unborn cliff]

its a roguelite bullet hell where you play as bunny girls

[wary crypt]

I’m the worlds smartest player, strength to get flush five of aces for scholar and I discard them all and lose my run

[lost vault]

also i lied this deck is not idol-able

[faint linden]

That sounds amazing

[nova elk]

No way of saving it right?

[unborn cliff]

its so tuff

im gonna record a fight and send it in off topic give me a few

[low tiger]

[nova elk]

F to pay respect 🫡

[faint linden]

F

[low tiger]

well

maybe high card stone card does it

[torpid bridge]

Did you not draw any face cards of the suit that ancient hits?

[low tiger]

depends on how good your pants are

[quick solar]

high card gaming

[nova elk]

No, it was on diamond and didn’t receive any face diamonds

[torpid bridge]

Just unlucky

Good luck next time

[weak relic]

Very disgusting

[torpid bridge]

Castle lowkey is my most favorite chip joker

I find it even better than wee

[low tiger]

castle gets too much hate

it’s not better than wee

[weak relic]

I didn't even take my 5th eternal lol

[faint linden]

Especially on Checkered

[torpid bridge]

Cuz you only need to play and discard normally

[weak relic]

[torpid bridge]

While on wee u have to dig for 2

[faint linden]

I'm trying to get Orange Stake

[quick solar]

:D

[torpid bridge]

Wee has higher ceiling for sure

[quick solar]

time to sell showman

[faint linden]

Or Death/Cryptid

[turbid nova]

get two showmen

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[low tiger]

wee is easy to build around

[torpid bridge]

You have to actually do something to make it works

Not a braindead auto scale like castle

[torpid bridge]

I also love square joker

[faint linden]

Blueprint/Brainstorm be like

[weak relic]

Okay

[weak seal]

anyone else sometimes imagine jokers gaining chips they'd eat (potato, plantain, etc) as opposed to poker chips

[faint linden]

I have now discovered every Legendary

[weak relic]

Cool

[torpid bridge]

On castle you dont need to build

Like

Truly braindead joker

🙂

[faint linden]

Don't have to worry about Bosses this run 🤣

[lost vault]

sell showman for showman

[unborn cliff]

#🃏・off-topic message

[faint linden]

Why are Flush Houses so satisfying to play?

[quick solar]

ERM

guys do i go for the 1/5

[weak seal]

yes.

[torpid bridge]

Flush houses scale the fastest in the game i think

[unborn cliff]

trib

[quick solar]

perkeo wouldnt be bad either

i think i go for it

[calm furnace]

you call castle braindead but square is not? 🤨

[quick solar]

worst case im just down a shoman

[torpid bridge]

Square is also braindead

Thats why i love it

[quick solar]

rip

[torpid bridge]

Didnt you read?

[crimson hinge]

canio has a 90% chance I swear

[weak seal]

dawg got the worst one for this, rip 😭

[turbid shell]

My last canio run had so many face cards in packs and so many hanged men. I think I got it to 32x

[quick solar]

chill

[crimson spoke]

why do you guys all have so many ballots?

[torpid bridge]

Showman power

[weak seal]

all?

[faint linden]

We're on our way to commit mass voter fraud

[crimson spoke]

oh nice

[dapper lagoon]

Thanks game

[quick solar]

WE"RE SO BACK

bye canio

[faint linden]

Am I the only one who thinks Canio looks like he's wearing a Klan hood?

[quick solar]

dawg what

[faint linden]

I know it's a dunce hat, but still

The white on white doesn't help

[weak seal]

it might be because of the white clothing he wears, yeah...

[torpid bridge]

What is a klan hood

[dapper lagoon]

am i the only one who thinks photograph looks like ishowspeed

[faint linden]

If you bark, win the game

[torpid bridge]

Yes

Ishowspeed is black

[weak seal]

the outfit of a very hateful and dangerous group...

[quick solar]

goated showman

[dapper lagoon]

it's just the smile that reminds me of him lmao

[weak seal]

my first thought was "sekiro: shadows die twice"

[torpid bridge]

Is this the reference?

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK; /ˌkuː klʌks ˈklæn, ˌkjuː-/),[e] commonly shortened to the Klan, is an American Protestant-led white supremacist, far-right hate group.

[weak seal]

yeah.....

i'm just gonna leave it at that

[torpid bridge]

They do look like canio

[faint linden]

Back to silly cards

[torpid bridge]

😮‍💨

[trim notch]

Sticketed mudstone

And the 31+ chips guy

Triboulet is your plus mult

Dont worry

[glad bronze]

[quick solar]

[tranquil steppe]

Andy finally did something when combined with Castle. Couple more gold stickers checked off the list

[trim notch]

Whats ur initial mult tho

[torpid bridge]

Sharp?

Cuz you seems like playing 4oak

[weak seal]

i think cs, ngl..

[tranquil steppe]

Not enough chads or photos

[glad bronze]

wrong answer, it was none of them

I have the xmult

[trim notch]

thats why i asked whats ur mult inicial

[glad bronze]

7DML8KT3 there's 2 legendaries in here

[trim notch]

[tranquil steppe]

He’s so odd

[trim notch]

Yeah

[quick solar]

probably just go for photo right

im playing high card build if that matters

[tranquil steppe]

Nice job blooping your way to victory

[cosmic sun]

outmogged heart

[tranquil steppe]

suck on that crimson boiiiiiii

[cosmic sun]

I purchased a bait joker for heart to land on turn 1 and it did

[faint linden]

Nice

[trim notch]

Wañhat means blooping

[quick solar]

guys do i sell chad for invis

[trim notch]

i wanted to get a mult scaling joker

But it never appeared

[quick solar]

worst case i just get my same setup 2 round later ngl

[trim notch]

Sell everything

For credit card

-40 max bro

[primal epoch]

[trim notch]

They easy

Just think ur movements

Like chess bro

🥺

The glass one is si easy

[primal epoch]

I dont have that unlocked

you only start with the first 5

[quick solar]

IT IS DONE

[faint linden]

Need to find Eternals. Just got Madness

[trim notch]

The 100$ is the most easy one

[faint linden]

Does that idea even work, though?

[trim notch]

Yeah

[left sorrel]

Yeah

[cloud sinew]

[faint linden]

Thanks

[left sorrel]

Yes

[primal epoch]

he cant destroy eternals, yep

[terse vale]

How mfs be sounding when they get a glimpse of Eldritch knowledge

[manic zealot]

Thanks nat negative mr bones

[quick solar]

antimatter please

[manic zealot]

Lmao

[digital pewter]

i've been playing balatro on my phone, but to make it appear like i'm not playing balatro i'm playing it right side up so everything is on its side

[compact halo]

Helo

Sorver

[weak seal]

chat...
(the spare i already have has +34 mult)

[compact halo]

You should sell the negative Chad for red card here

[quick solar]

made the flush 5 pivot too late :(

[compact halo]

On ante 7? Not worth it. The value you get for one extra card in your hand for free clears

[weak seal]

so neg juggler then?

[compact halo]

I’d say so

[compact halo]

You’re giving up a free hand size to lose score

[quick solar]

if anyone wants the seed

[weak seal]

alr, thanks 👍

[uneven garnet]

Hiyaaa

[compact halo]

It being holo doesn’t benefit you at all. Think about it. They scale the same. The one you have is already higher. So pretend it wasn’t holo but instead started at +10. You’d be selling a spare trousers at +34 for a spare trousers at +10. There is no angle in which it helps you

[weak seal]

fair enough

[compact halo]

No exponentials, just addition, Just a number compared to a smaller number

Only time you should ever replace a scaling +mult joker with a holo of the same joker is if the one you already have is less than 10, otherwise you’re benefiting nothing at all

:P

[uneven garnet]

I'm kinda new here, HOW THE HECK DO Y'ALL REACH EXPONENTIALS 😭

[latent egret]

you would have needed glass

the planet scaling does not really matter for endless

[lost vault]

what?

[uneven garnet]

You know, when the score has e

[lost vault]

thats called scientific notation goober

its just a way to denote large numbers

[fervent wolf]

Thy return has been thrown upon thee

[uneven garnet]

Yeah but damn, it's massive

[lost vault]

the game starts displaying scientific notation at 100bil

(e11)

[rotund igloo]

Sock+tribloulet is one way

[rotund igloo]

Retriggers are your best friend

[last bolt]

hey guys im new is this good

[uneven garnet]

My broke ahh with Chad

[uneven garnet]

Gold chip

[fervent wolf]

Thy greetings are set and stone as thy petting shall be of an occurrence

[lost vault]

:3

[weak seal]

at another crossroads

[terse vale]

do you neeeeed andy

well

hm idk if bs would do much aside from chips

[weak seal]

do i (also) need to do more fixing orrr
(i'm looking to play more two-pairs (A A 2 2))

[fervent wolf]

Thy reparations of thy deck must require further attention

[lavish gazelle]

You have enough hands and discards to go through your entire deck, I don't think Andy is necessary

[weak seal]

fair observation

[uneven garnet]

I'm not a pro but I guess you gotta kill the low ranks (or dupe the high ones with them via Death)

[fervent wolf]

Thy happy fool presents thou faultiness in thy dilemma

[weak seal]

i appreciate your bringing [all these] to my attention 🙂‍↕️

[fervent wolf]

Thy pleasure thoust be brought upon me

[lost vault]

reddit would see this and say "here, win"

[lost vault]

well speaking of free wins

[vocal rose]

holy easy

[fervent wolf]

Thy Jest, know for having a tendency to grant currency upon thy throw away of certain ranks, has stumbled upon thee's uno round jokester pack, presenting itself in a holo coat

[vocal rose]

green stake is a free win

[lost vault]

true

[weak seal]

ah well
i needed to go early anyhow 🤷
-# /gen because i really shouldn't be awake

[lost vault]

the rebate is just the nail in the coffin

rebate is so cracked
2 rounds and i have 42 dollars

[calm furnace]

im goated today was under 10$ until ante 7

nova clutched me 3 times today

[sleek valley]

Why does nobody talk about how getting a tarot generating joker is almost a free win on abandoned deck? Ive blown through every stake but gold in about a week on this thing because of it.

[versed dew]

So i fumbled BIG TIME. I was on mad world challenge. Andi happened to get midas mask vampire but didnt have any other mult card to get multiplied so i lost to a 30,000 blind. I had mr bones but he didnt save me because i just couldn’t get any chips

I had gros michel but it went extinct litterally right before that blind

[sleek valley]

Midas Vampire is disappointingly bad for such a fun combo

[potent tree]

pareidolia:

midas vampire pareidolia photochad in fact

[sleek valley]

Photochad is doing all the work there until vampire buffs enough.

[forest birch]

r/lies would love you

[sleek valley]

Plus, reliably getting 5 specific jokers isnt it

[potent tree]

rather hard? perhaps.

[lost vault]

WHY is all my luck going to random ass low stake runs

[wintry ice]

+0.8x mult per round is bad, apparently

[potent tree]

but imagination is free

[sleek valley]

Requires too much economic to roll that much that you might as well just play something thay scales faster

[wintry ice]

with the addition of money generation from midas

[calm furnace]

just midas and vamp is enough

[gloomy vigil]

yay blue deck win

[wintry ice]

because contrarianism is cool apparently

[sleek valley]

Its too slow

[wintry ice]

+0.8x per round on a basic deck is too slow?

with the addition of one of the best money generators in the game?

[gloomy vigil]

freaky jokers

2 polychrome 1 neg

[calm furnace]

its as slow as consellation

[sleek valley]

And Constellation has the benefit of plaent scaling to go with it

[lost vault]

decided to do one extra round cuz crimson heart is a bitch ass mf (ignore photo, i was playing aces)

[sleek valley]

And doesnt need another joker to do its job

[calm furnace]

vampire's main problem is that some enhancments are great to have

[wintry ice]

midas vamp has the benefit of midas economy

your point?

[calm furnace]

vamp doesnt need another joker

vamp easily gets to 3x with minimal work without midas

midas just makes it faster

[wintry ice]

vampire by itself scales fast enough from arcana packs

[calm furnace]

and purple seals

[digital pewter]

aw mannnnn

[sleek valley]

It doesnt, but we're talking about pairing it with Midas, so this version pretends it does. Ive had better luck with Marble vamp than Midas vamp

[digital pewter]

i JUST picked up the constellation

[calm furnace]

marble vamp is a good combo

and easier to play than midas

[wintry ice]

????

[sleek valley]

Im not arguing that vampire isnt good. Just that the Midas build with it isnt

[calm furnace]

its easy to chuck a stone card to any played hand

[wintry ice]

what's the explanation here

provide your side of the argument

[calm furnace]

other than losing strength from enhancments the bad thing about vamp is that you cannot have two of them

which kinda sucks

because having an xmult and finding ankh or insvis is sometimes a free win but not with vampire

[sleek valley]

Im going to be honest, I dont know why its better. On paper, Midas should be better, but it never works for me and marble does.

[wintry ice]

well invis and ankh aren't exactly common anyways

[calm furnace]

yeah im just pointing out the things that vamp is not good at

[wintry ice]

midas vamp should be around +0.6x-0.8xmult per round with the added benefit of having 12 gold cards on a basic deck

marble vamp is an additional +0.1x per round which is fine but nowhere near the same level that midas is

[calm furnace]

im not the biggest fan of vamp and if i could i dont pick it

but its no denial that its the 3rd best scaling xmult from the uncommons

after holo and const

[pale wolf]

Wha????

[wintry ice]

i'd consider lucky cat and glass joker better

[pale wolf]

that literally makes no sense 😭 marble joker not only bloats your deck but doesnt even add the stone card to your hand so you have to just find it

[calm furnace]

higher highs but being rng dependant makes them less consistent

[pale wolf]

and midas vamp is repeatable

[calm furnace]

midas vamp becomes econ after vamp scales you just put midas after vamp

[dim elk]

[pale wolf]

as it scales

[dim elk]

genuinly do i take photo or paraedolia

[calm furnace]

neither

stuntman is there lmao

[pale wolf]

you only lose 1 scale per face card by putting midas second, and you dont even lose the scale if the face is enhanced some other way beforehand

[dim elk]

fuh nah 🥀

[calm furnace]

its way better than all of them lmao

[dim elk]

i got paraedolia

[calm furnace]

the pack gave you one of the best jokers in the game

and 3 other below average jokers

[calm furnace]

stuntman > odd > photo > para

[gloomy vigil]

where is baseball

[calm furnace]

its not in the pack

[gloomy vigil]

oh shit this isnt a ranking s it

[digital pewter]

you love to see it

shoot the moon my beloved

[gloomy vigil]

I thought you were just ranking em

randomly

[calm furnace]

nah

[calm furnace]

ranking this

[wintry ice]

asks for advice (without proper context clues)
ignores it

[calm furnace]

parking kinda changes things there

makes para not shit

but where the scoring will come from

you better be drawing all your 10 and 4s

[warped herald]

New player here. Advice on beating black stake? I'm with blue hand btw

[calm furnace]

https://www.youtube.com/@drspectred

just watch this

[wintry ice]

value unconditional scoring jokers and make sure to save up to 25$ when you can

[warped herald]

Ok thanks!

[wintry ice]

or just watch balatro uni yea

he has better advice than any of us

[digital pewter]

guys is my gpa of 1.6 going to be enough to get accepted by the balatro university

[dim elk]

btw why is stunt man not bad, i always ignore him

[wintry ice]

chips are scarce

compared to +mult

[dim elk]

yeah but sacrificing 2 hand size, i mena id do it if i had good deck fixing

[digital pewter]

yeah 250 chips is definitely nothing

it just depends on what hands you're playing

[potent tree]

stuntman shines on plasma

[digital pewter]

and that too lol

[wintry ice]

stuntman just sets up your chip count at the cost of forcing you to play hands that you're already better off playing regardless

well you'd play high card instead of pairs there but

the point stands

[digital pewter]

wait... so i can't just play flushes 100% of the time...? 💔

[gloomy vigil]

thats what I did last run

I got alot of turn 3 cards into clubs tarot

[digital pewter]

i used to be a flush addict

[gloomy vigil]

decided to go full flush

went to ante 10

[digital pewter]

now i'm evening out a little

[dim elk]

i still am an addict

[gloomy vigil]

lost bc I only got 3 flush planet cards

[digital pewter]

3 jupiters the entire run??

[wintry ice]

i've converted my flush addiction to a pair addiction

[gloomy vigil]

yes

ante 10 too

to be fair I skipped a few

[calm furnace]

nah can still play pairs just fine

[digital pewter]

goddamn

[gloomy vigil]

two pair my goat

[calm furnace]

stuntman is that good

[wintry ice]

the 5 chips make a bit less for a difference there

so i usually just go with what's easier to draw

[calm furnace]

yeah true

[plain briar]

how do straight builds work

[calm furnace]

im just used to pairs

[wintry ice]

what gold stake forces upon you

[digital pewter]

i can't even imagine what kind of person might aim for full houses and flush houses

[wintry ice]

you trim the lower and higher ranks

[calm furnace]

full house is ass

flush house is fun

[lost vault]

you play straights and you win

[wintry ice]

i'd start with lower ranks first

[dim elk]

holy mercury, arent u poisoned?

[digital pewter]

4 mult scaling but at what cost

[wintry ice]

maybe

[dim elk]

i sometimes do

[wintry ice]

but i haven't felt any symptoms yet so i'll be fine

[plain briar]

so insightful thank you

[lost vault]

:3

[calm furnace]

it needs solid tarot generation to make it work

but when it works it works

[gloomy vigil]

level 1000000000 two pair

thats how you win

anyone else who claims otherwise is a goverment agent

so full of lies that they would piss in your ear and tell you its raining

[plain briar]

like what jokers do well and when should u go for a straight build

[dim elk]

uhm actually photochad is one of the most common and best ways to win 🤓

[digital pewter]

wait

shower

ok nvm

[dim elk]

runner

cuz scaling

of chips

[calm furnace]

huh

nah

runner is not a straight joker

[wintry ice]

runner is better when you're playing straights intermittently

because you don't need the chips when saturns are +30 each

[calm furnace]

with straights you just scale via saturn cards

yeah a single saturn is worth 2 hands with runner

[wintry ice]

finding a bunch of saturns early on or getting shortcut in the first antes is an immediate reason to pivot

[calm furnace]

with straights you either do just planet scaling or planet with some extra + flat mult. of course with a xmult joker

[dim elk]

i mean shortcut and four fingers are also options but shouldnt be relied on tbh in my opinion

[calm furnace]

shortcut is free straight pivot

[calm furnace]

shortcut is the main reason you wanna pivot to straights on gold stake

[wintry ice]

shortcut makes straights almost as easy to draw as pairs

[calm furnace]

and the order

[wintry ice]

it's definitely capable of being relied upon

[calm furnace]

yeah it becomes absurd

[pale wolf]

shortcut can be relied on, 4f is eh

[dim elk]

forgot bout him, im more of a tribal vibe

[pale wolf]

like, 4f can help but you dont need to/end up relying on it

[wintry ice]

four fingers is more for utility with runner and superpos imo

[pale wolf]

except for strush

[dim elk]

i mean if you have shortcut you should prob also have delayed gratification

[pale wolf]

huh

[wintry ice]

do strushes become as hard to draw as normal straights with 4f

[calm furnace]

hella confused

[wintry ice]

also where's the correlation there

[pale wolf]

wjats the corelr

between straight enabler and worst econ

[dim elk]

because the straight becomes easier to draw

[wintry ice]

it makes them usable together

but like

you'd still rather discard eventually

[calm furnace]

you can still whiff

and sadly delayed grat stops giving me from using any discards

[dim elk]

yeah, but its a perk of shortcut, i didnt say you should always have delayed

[pale wolf]

its never you "should" have delayed gratification, you end up with it bc theres literally no other option presented to you yet

delayed sucks

[calm furnace]

the perk of shortcut is that it makes one of the strongest hands in the game become as consistent as lower hands

[wintry ice]

delayed is a worse version of golden joker after blue stake

[calm furnace]

its so ass 😭

[pale wolf]

even with burglar you're better off with almost any other economy joker besides rebate and faceless

[dim elk]

dont forget reserved

[wintry ice]

would it be better if blue stake wasn't the restrictive piece of shit it is now?

[pale wolf]

wuat

[calm furnace]

slightly better

but the fact that you cannot discard at all

[pale wolf]

parking is fine

[calm furnace]

still makes it ass

if it worked like banner

it would be better

[dim elk]

SHI FORGET I FORGOT

[pale wolf]

idk i kinda need it to work the way it does now but maybe more money

[dim elk]

i mixed him up with faceless

[hidden lance]

ngl the only time castle has ever been useful to me is getting 1.5x on baseball card

[pale wolf]

could it just be like a flat $8 or something

[wintry ice]

that's probably a question of low sample size

[calm furnace]

today i had 2 castle wins

lovely card

[pale wolf]

castle rocks

[dim elk]

whatever guys goodnight, cya tmrw

[calm furnace]

tho tbf one of the runs was poly madness and by the end castle was just there for vibes

because it was eternal

but it helped me early rounds

[hidden lance]

what deck

[calm furnace]

ghost

[wintry ice]

anything that consistently gets to +200 chips by the end of the run is good

[hidden lance]

ngl if im on ghost i would rather just get blue seals

[wintry ice]

which is like every chip joker ever

[wintry ice]

even with blue seals it's about double the chips you'd have otherwise

[calm furnace]

even with the -1 discard i still love castle

[wintry ice]

unless you have a winmore type setup with 6 blue seals and crystal ball

[fervent wolf]

Thy greetings shall shower unto thee

[hidden lance]

i had like 400 chips by levels by the end of it

tbf i had telescope

[calm furnace]

yeah if you had scope and blue seals

you probably wont need a chip joker

by ante 8

i had many runs where i sell my chip joker once i have 10+ mercury cards

[fervent wolf]

Thourt shall auto win for thy copy of me has been present in thy run

[hidden lance]

respect

✊

[fervent wolf]

Thy compliment doth excepted

[calm furnace]

today i had eternal foil baseball

[last geyser]

Do I sell hex?

[hidden lance]

no

[calm furnace]

yeah

[wintry ice]

hm

[calm furnace]

xmult is xmult

[wintry ice]

order is great but i'd say no

[hidden lance]

i just had a run trying to play straights, god it sucked early

[fervent wolf]

Thy card, which may provide a single Joker with a 1.5 increment of multiplying mult shall not be discard for thy jester

[last geyser]

Fr?

[fervent wolf]

Aye

[plain briar]

what a nutty store

[last geyser]

W

[last geyser]

Okk

[wintry ice]

i'd take ante 1 order in most situations but is it worth going for over an ante 1 polychrome

[calm furnace]

LETS GO

[calm furnace]

idk hex is fun but it aint that good

[modest snow]

I didnt want to get naneinf because it doesn't save on the stats page but I got naneinf (basically)!!!

[plain briar]

do i replace bull or face

[calm furnace]

its great if you find something early on

[hidden lance]

whats this game?

[wintry ice]

balatrodle

[minor portal]

for what

[plain briar]

idol

[calm furnace]

https://www.balatrodle.com

[last geyser]

Depends what your playing but I’d say bull

[minor portal]

Yeah, for what

[potent tree]

chat is this enough 4oaks to pivot to 5oak? obby in shop

[minor portal]

Why would you purchase idol

[plain briar]

tryna get flush 5

[plain briar]

i havent yet

[calm furnace]

scary + chad is enough chips and bull will save down to find better jokers

[calm furnace]

why would you downgrade to a worse hand

[wintry ice]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1132445010541953024.webp?size=48&name=FubukiEmoteForWhenever&lossless=true

[potent tree]

so i'm guessing this is a no. well good thing i checked

[calm furnace]

level 7 mars 😭

[potent tree]

probably losing this run anyways since i can't get trib

[wintry ice]

how does your deck look like

[plain briar]

my deck

there

[wintry ice]

idol is inconsistent unless all of your deck is 1 card type

i'd rather just not

[plain briar]

okay

ill skip

[calm furnace]

waaay too far for idol

[wintry ice]

photochad blueprint is already enough provided you have a glass numbered card

[minor portal]

No, trust, it will totally hit the king of clubs consistently

[calm furnace]

it will hit kings of clubs when the boss is the plant

[plain briar]

too late i skipped

idol will come back

[potent tree]

yep i lost the next round

New highest Ante I've made it to! I got a Brainstorm just in time for one of the bosses

[plain briar]

trading card instead of bull?

[visual turtle]

Mmmm polychrom

[wintry ice]

yea

you have more than enough chips

[calm furnace]

constellation

is right there

[wintry ice]

assuming you've properly leveled your 4 of a king

[plain briar]

okay thanks

[calm furnace]

ah wait nvm

[wintry ice]

actually const would be better here

[calm furnace]

ante 8

there is that voucher

[plain briar]

replace face ?

[wintry ice]

i'd guess a polychrome would do more than trading card in this ante

[plain briar]

oops i already skipped

[calm furnace]

unless you wanna take this endless trading card is not gonna do much

[wintry ice]

oh well you win anyways

[plain briar]

yea

yo brainstorm

instead of face?

[placid ridge]

Does Hone apply to jokers generated by Riff Raff? If so, I feel like the wiki should mention that.

[placid ridge]

unless you've done a ton of deck modifcation, yeah, I would take brainstorm.

[placid ridge]

if you're planning on doing endless, I guess you could sell Scary Face, but if you just want to beat the ante 8 boss, you should probably sell trading card.

[plain briar]

im going endless

[tacit quail]

bro the whole method is to use hex here fuck off game

[ancient gyro]

it already mentions that it's affected by all card types that's not illusion

[tacit quail]

50 chips sure but like ig i wait

[ancient gyro]

and no fandom is not the official wiki

[tacit quail]

fuck fandom

[placid ridge]

Sure but the wiki (.org of course, not fandom) could mention the synergy with Riff Raff, no?

[ancient gyro]

that falls under the all card types category

all card types

any joker generation

standard packs

etc

[sleek valley]

Taking bets on how many attempts it will take to gold stake abandoned deck. One failed attempt so far.

[ancient gyro]

excluding illusion

[sleek valley]

But I did clear orange immediately after purple. So it could be fast, could not be.

[royal kernel]

Hmmmm 3

Abandoned is my favourite deck for gold stake

I pretty much did entirety of c++ with it

[sleek valley]

It deck fixes so quickly

[royal kernel]

Yeah, and that’s the most important thing in the game in many ways

[ancient gyro]

fr

not the most important thing

[royal kernel]

Deck building and hand levels can win you game alone, easily

[ancient gyro]

its not the most versatile method nor is it the primary incentive to work on early where game variance is at its highest

as seen above with questionable aspirations

[royal kernel]

Yeah sure but early game you can survive fine with basic jokers
Generally speaking deck building is very very important in higher stakes at least

[ancient gyro]

its a major component but I wouldn't say it's the most important aspect. one of the most versatile jokers ignores this benefit of deck refinement

[royal kernel]

Obelisk?

[brisk bluff]

Plz

[tranquil steppe]

Hmm where have I seen this before?

[brisk bluff]

Yea gg

[willow frost]

ok i forgot how endless works i just kept running out of money lmao

[ancient gyro]

at all points of the game you use jokers, the primary building block of the game as a form of scoring consistency

granted you don't get hit with the 30ish% chance of debuff sticker convenience early game but that's a different conversation

[fervent wolf]

Thou art experienced thy loss of a foolman

[ancient gyro]

teehee

[tranquil steppe]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[tranquil steppe]

Thought I recognized it lol

[willow frost]

also found turtle bean literally the shop after ante 16 crimson heart so i just ended the run lol

[ancient gyro]

most sent screenshots of all time

on my account at least

[fervent wolf]

You don't need bean to get naneinf

[royal kernel]

Why 😭

[willow frost]

only found one bp, showman and invisible joker were not helpful either

[willow frost]

im trying to get ante 39

[ancient gyro]

7 hand cap is peak

[forest birch]

That's pretty good

[willow frost]

probably perkeoless because ill never find perkeo again

[tranquil steppe]

He appears once every 97 rounds

*games

[ancient gyro]

according to thin air

[fervent wolf]

I did ate 39 beanless

[willow frost]

every 97 of someone elses games, not mine lol

[willow frost]

howd you do it

[tranquil steppe]

lol exactly. And then out of the blue you’ll have 1 game with 2 legendaries in the same game. And then you won’t see any again for 50 games

[ancient gyro]

perkeo/chiclo usually

[willow frost]

two of the wrong legendaries, mind you lol

[fervent wolf]

Burger serpent

[willow frost]

how did you get past ante 32

[fervent wolf]

Wym

[royal kernel]

Yeah… I mean obviously the jokers are the general point of the game… but you can win games without getting jokers like obelisk or gettibg any joker you want in general
Having a fixed deck is a large component, probably as large as jokers in my opinion
Tho I suppose maybe not quite
Centring around a hand and upgrading hands are generally speaking the most pivotal thing in a gold stake game

[willow frost]

how many jokers/cards in hand did you have for ante 32 because you cant serpent it

[ancient gyro]

unconditional scoring in gs streaks happen more often than jokerless/pseudo jokerless runs in gs

[fervent wolf]

You can with 10 bp/bs

[fervent plover]

hate the times when luck can be so shit

[ancient gyro]

and jokers that don't care about deck composition/planet scaling

[willow frost]

nah ok im never getting 10 bp/bs lmao

interesting though

[fervent plover]

got canio for the first time on no face cards deck

was hopin ill get the joker which makes every card a face card

no use

[willow frost]

just get face cards/turn cards into face cards

[fervent wolf]

This was it

[final garden]

nat negative drivers liscense from wraith

[willow frost]

ok you neglected the fucking perkeo lmao

but epic

[fervent wolf]

Just kept it so that I didn't have to sit through 30 minutes on ante 39 and I could roll into needle

Bc my phone was starting glitch big time

[forest birch]

It prohibits you from operating automobiles

[willow frost]

the point of using bean for me is that i wont find perkeo to help my run, so im using the next best thing

[royal kernel]

Hm I suppose largely my gold stake runs are based off of red card/ride the bus
Pair
And then xmult
Generally speaking the deckfixing is really nice though

[willow frost]

ah rip

[fervent wolf]

Fair

[fervent wolf]

I literally thought it was gonna shut down

[willow frost]

yeah im playing on my laptop this is not a phone task lol

[royal kernel]

I haven’t played balatro for a fair few months now

[fervent wolf]

True lol

[tacit quail]

how to sticker idol: This mf do NOTHING

i will do it im playing high cards at 150k

[ancient gyro]

deck fixing and planet scaling is also more econ demanding which isn't as favorable for your gs runs when you want to favor consistency. not atm where pair lobotomy ignores the sunk value fallacy of deck fixing.

localthunk wants to bring in more diverse poker hand strategies in which also indirectly affects the value of deck fixing for the better. enhancements/planets work well with each other with the downside of card draw variance which makes or breaks runs while also sometimes being inconvenient scoring timing for let's say steel/glass before flat mult from jokers

[pale wolf]

which one is localthunk again

[royal kernel]

The developer of balatro lol

[ancient gyro]

you

[pale wolf]

oh I thought it was a joker

[willow frost]

supercell, cryptid mentioned

[ancient gyro]

most ppl don't know this but

[tacit quail]

GOLD STICKERED THE IDOL 🙏

[royal kernel]

I swear I recognise your profile?

[wintry ice]

i feel like deckfixing is usually more about value generation than scoring

[pale wolf]

i mean it totally looks like he was talkin about a joker

[tacit quail]

129/150

done

[pale wolf]

yay

[tacit quail]

was dreading it

[ancient gyro]

its always been about jokers

[pale wolf]

ok its time

[royal kernel]

How long did it take you to get c++ @ancient gyro ?

[ancient gyro]

uh

[pale wolf]

hmmm

[ancient gyro]

my 5th c++ win took 58 wins if you exclude all the stake wins below it

[unborn cliff]

rebate

stupid sexy rental riff raff

[royal kernel]

Flexing is going hard rn

Lol

[ancient gyro]

most ppl usually make fun of that

like

zeber

[potent tree]

did you finish c+ first

[ancient gyro]

and

yeah

on this profile

[olive basin]

Idol is idling

[royal kernel]

Tbf it took me 200 I think on my only profile (I haven’t done c++ more than once cause I lowk burnt out)

It was around 200 cant remember exactly

[ancient gyro]

6th c++ is currently only played on one deck atm so it's in the works of being something exciting

[potent tree]

well that's c+ for the second time. i just need victory lap to earn it and then i can start grinding for c++ (still haven't bought tarot tycoon)

also i can now get any legendary joker on gold stake...somehow chicken strips was my last.

[pale wolf]

plasma deck c++

xd

[ancient gyro]

doesn't sound too bad

[royal kernel]

I hate plasma

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[pale wolf]

this sucks

[ancient gyro]

after all the bullshit I had to deal with like doing black deck streaks for no reason

[royal kernel]

@pale wolf have you chatted on here loads in the past I swear I remember you from when I messaged in here before

[ancient gyro]

im content with plassma++

[pale wolf]

sometimes

[serene forge]

plassma

[ancient gyro]

check his message count

[royal kernel]

I prefer black to plasma 😶

[royal kernel]

How?

[ancient gyro]

search function top right on mobile

[serene forge]

[safe venture]

👀👀👀

[pale wolf]

wat???

idk what i did to make this happen

[potent tree]

6 of ?

anyways. back to ghost deck to start the c++ grind...

[manic zealot]

I love a perfect madness setup

[pale wolf]

mmmmm

ectoplasm immolate

[manic zealot]

ecto helps too because the smaller hand size makes it easier to use blackboard

if you're playing easy hand types

[wintry ice]

of what

[pale wolf]

maybe first time I'm taking this on gold stake

[wintry ice]

does it even help

[ancient gyro]

i haven't unlocked it yet

free shop value

prob

im going to hell

[lapis lance]

Hear me out
Sixth sense + DNA

[pale wolf]

meh

whatever joker i take* has to be taken once and forever so I figure

idk wtf that was

[wintry ice]

what the heck

[potent tree]

man i got shop 1 madness and lost on big blind ante 2. i really am hopeless.

[placid ridge]

RIP

[tranquil steppe]

What about siiiiiiiiiiiixxxxxxx seeeeeeeeeeeeeeviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin

[pale wolf]

brainrot

and idk why the question marks are there

[wary zodiac]

credit c adr in th e buffion pack guys

[fervent plover]

Why is it that in videos many like building on kings?

[opal horizon]

What I do?

[wary zodiac]

six senth

[jolly relic]

is it really shocking to some people that some people drink tap water

[fervent plover]

Show ur deck

[haughty egret]

i wanna say something with blue print but i have NO idea what

[heady narwhal]

sell sock & buskin for gluttonous joker

[wary zodiac]

throwback isn't doing much flr your score as far as i can see

[heady narwhal]

what's the boss

[wary zodiac]

some people have awful water quality in there area so its less normalized to drink tap water

[heady narwhal]

if it's leaf don't buy anything

[tranquil steppe]

Six, seven, I’m Kevin

[pale wolf]

some people do not have drinkable tap water

[fervent plover]

If it's built on face cards and not much of hearts sell bloodstone for blueprint.

[jolly relic]

i mean like people actually thinking its just some forbidden thing and like acting like its never been heard before

[pale wolf]

never having heard of drinkable tap water is weird yea

[fervent plover]

Ahh..
@opal horizon I would say sell the last one for blueprint

[jolly relic]

people on insta would surely have atleast heard a single time about drinkable tap water no?

[opal horizon]

Okey

[fervent plover]

U can get many retriggers from face cards using sock and buskin. And when playing with hearts chance of retriggers from bloodstone will be higher

Cause skipping is loss, so it is of no use

Last ante anyways

All the best

[opal horizon]

Thanks for the help

[fervent plover]

Btw, make sure to make the deck build on the card the boss picks.

Cause I lost since I played it day before for the 1st time

😩

[tranquil steppe]

Don’t go drinking the tap water in Mexico

[opal horizon]

[pale wolf]

are you fucking kidding me

madness only profile

😭

[jolly relic]

ofc we take madness and sell it

[ancient gyro]

terraria did a number on you

[jolly relic]

im such a pro balatroer

[pale wolf]

bad pack but the Free hallu made a sick emperor

[last geyser]

Two pair is goated

[fervent plover]

Lesgoo. Vamos!!

[placid ridge]

alright, should I keep doing anaglyph deck runs for C++ or should I go with something else? 🤔

[boreal hamlet]

Is best blueprint placement before chad

Pants are +6

[fervent plover]

Are u asking or stating?

[tranquil steppe]

AKQJJ with four fingers will score both jacks

[boreal hamlet]

Asking

Pants and blueprint holo

[fervent plover]

For plus 6, it's not worth now
But can u show ur deck?

[solemn tide]

How should I be playing reddeck

[boreal hamlet]

Only have 2 extra queens

[pale wolf]

I'm aiming to play the exact same game again but on yellow deck :^)

plus 6?

[fervent plover]

Play normally. U have so many discards. It's good deck to get deckbuilding quicker.

[pale wolf]

smiley is 5 per face

what is trousers at

[turbid shell]

@unborn cliff oh btw I did a straight run

Ngl funnest run in a while

[fervent plover]

Yea, only if he has that many face cards. Might as well put blueprint on the retrigger one since that will give more mult on pairs.

[unborn cliff]

you're still on this

[pale wolf]

what?

[pale wolf]

thats not how that works

[turbid shell]

I'm not upset. Just wanted to show you

[fervent plover]

Wdym? Smiley only retriggers face cards

[turbid shell]

Thought you'd want the seed bc two stencils

[unborn cliff]

japanese solider who kept fighting 20 years after WW2

[boreal hamlet]

I thought retrigger didn’t scale

[pale wolf]

if you have a retrigger joker and an on score joker, you copy the on score joker

[wooden hare]

I feel like i shouldn'y but do i take photo here

[boreal hamlet]

I thought chad and seltzer only double the scoring chip/mult not scaling chip mult and Econ

[unborn cliff]

weak. i've had 4 polychrome blackboard

[fervent plover]

Bros hips are abt to fall at this rate

[pale wolf]

because there's a base trigger for playing a card

[turbid shell]

Yea but stencil doesn't requireba specific hand

[fervent plover]

Oh wait that's right. Mbmb

[pale wolf]

a winner is me

[cursive crater]

constellation is calling to me

[fervent plover]

Does photo retrigger when sock and buskin retriggers the first face card?
Was confused if tht works or not

[wooden hare]

Yes

[ancient gyro]

I have several regrets

[unborn cliff]

[fervent plover]

Then take. Sound better than others. U have a spot too

[unborn cliff]

[fervent plover]

HOLY SHIT!!

[pale wolf]

nevermind i didnt score enough somehow

[wooden hare]

If i come across a better joker and i can't sell photo its on you aight?

[cursive crater]

blackboard maxxing

[unborn cliff]

zebra i forgor how did you become blue

[wooden hare]

Also dont diss my boy oops

[fervent plover]

Oh wait,

[wooden hare]

they're a true hero

[fervent plover]

Oops?

[wooden hare]

oops all sixes

[unborn cliff]

All sixes

[pale wolf]

????????

[unborn cliff]

[fervent plover]

Hah? I don't remember dissing anyone thgh?

[unborn cliff]

eternal groker in the next pack

[wooden hare]

you said i have a spot when i have all 4 filled

thought u were talking about selling oops

its painted deck

-1 joker slot

[fervent plover]

Ur luck is too good. I got blueprint two times in 1st ante of ghost deck, and instead of polying it, I sold the poly card. Both the times

😩😩

[turbid shell]

To be fair, you only have 3 cards left in your hand

[unborn cliff]

are you calling blackboard bad

[turbid shell]

Nah I love blackboard

[unborn cliff]

phew

[fervent plover]

Oh mb. I thght I saw one spot left.

Ask @pale wolf

[unborn cliff]

here win

[pale wolf]

nah

[turbid shell]

I'm just saying that having only black cards get easier with less cards left

[unborn cliff]

eternal hologram inbound

[fervent plover]

I'll start playing after an hr

Lost motivation after the blueprint incident

[ancient gyro]

ragequit arc

[pale wolf]

idk i took the summit

not the erosio

[turbid shell]

Give me a new run idea you guys

[unborn cliff]

naneinf

[pale wolf]

when madness is to the right of riff raff itll let riff raff make jokers right

[unborn cliff]

yeah

[pale wolf]

and kill it

[turbid shell]

I mean like deck and like what hand type to gun for

[unborn cliff]

plasma

high card

[turbid shell]

Oh dear

Sure I guess?

[unborn cliff]

actually no

black deck flush house

[pale wolf]

excellent

I love how that works

This is the sexiest negative

You can barely even see it

[grave valve]

yall be saying chicot is bad untill your running a flush five build and the suit your playing gets debuffed in the bossblind

[pale wolf]

the thing riff raff just made

perishable blueprint

ugh idk if troub is even an improvement but ill take him for change

just hexed the madness

[wooden hare]

Damn you... there was a brainstorm i couldn't take because of you

[placid ridge]

In an endless run or a normal run?

[crimson burrow]

this game sucks

gold stake

i was so close but my econ was so shit

[serene lichen]

Felt.

[ancient gyro]

i know who you are

[serene lichen]

Balatro takes away what I love most.

[ancient gyro]

so called 5 card hand bosses

[serene lichen]

All I needed was a single Spade DX

Nevermind this game rocks.

[ancient gyro]

hehehehaw

[placid ridge]

waiting for valuable eternals. Eternal egg and gift card would be nice 👀

[shell rock]

round 1 buffoon pack, do i take the eternal rental baron

fine ill take the constellation

[lunar zealot]

easy fucking run

very large blind

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 5

[lunar zealot]

who needs econ jokers when you score so good you get hand money

[placid ridge]

nice. meanwhile in my run I took an ecto and an eternal Joker lol

[lunar zealot]

basically an econ joker by itself

[placid ridge]

playing anaglyph for a negative tag and gold stickers

haven't found the tag yet... 😢

[pearl moss]

I wish i have this luck

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 4 ||yeah i know i flubbed shut up||

[pearl moss]

This guaranteed win

[placid ridge]

ankh and hex are good 👍

[serene forge]

imagine playing idol though

[lunar zealot]

chicot is not bad

[placid ridge]

I uhh... just got it in one lol

[serene forge]

like chicot is amazing but that's a terrible example lol

[pearl moss]

Could have pick something like non gold sticker for stickering

[potent tree]

🐴

[lost vault]

mrrreow~

[serene forge]

nya

[lost vault]

:3

[pearl moss]

Its practically worth mentioning that madness only occur when small and big blind

[placid ridge]

yeah, and madness definitely constrains my ability to pick up non-gold sticker jokers.

but oh well

I'll take a win, I don't get too many of those.

[pearl moss]

Yeah but boss blind doesn't activate madness

So you could have pick 1 more for gold stickee

[placid ridge]

I suppose

[last bolt]

quite the draw

[placid ridge]

currently at Ante 7 so we'll see what happens

[pearl moss]

Pray you get death and strength

[placid ridge]

btw, does dagger trigger before madness? that would be nice.

[pearl moss]

Dagger does not activate on eternals

It needs to be on non eternal

[placid ridge]

I know

[pearl moss]

But also yes

[placid ridge]

I have 6 slots

[pearl moss]

Dagger first like in order
