[serene forge]

hey only my girlfriend gets to bite me :(

[lost vault]

valid

[wintry ice]

[glad viper]

who said it was gonna bite you

[honest dawn]

Being homophobic in 2026 is a very low blow.

[serene forge]

the fuck else is it doing with those teeth

[oak axle]

I have a condition that robs 67$ out of gay furry femboys and it's legal cuz its a terminal disease

[glad viper]

chewing gum

[serene forge]

eating rocks with it

[lost vault]

whuh

[glad viper]

and that

[shell rock]

silly goober i want to adopt it

[honest dawn]

I don't understand people who think they're animals

[lost vault]

being a furry femboy is not terminal ive been livibg fine

[glad viper]

aye, hes not up for adoption

hes up for stealing

[digital pewter]

im gonna need chicot for this one

[past locust]

Invis....
I am tempted...

[shell rock]

i cast steal he is mine now >:3

[lost vault]

i dont think im an animal i just like acting like one

[shell rock]

what does he eat again

[lost vault]

mreow

[oak axle]

Yea

Cool

[hybrid tendon]

heyyy don't say that to everyone

[serene forge]

yo

what's up

[hybrid tendon]

rick

[digital pewter]

har har har har har

[honest dawn]

Being a furry is one thing, but the current trend of pretending to be animals is another.

[past locust]

Take the invis or skip?

[shell rock]

that's a trend?

[lost vault]

let people enjoy things ig

[serene forge]

hold r

[honest dawn]

You can't believe it, you animal.

[glad viper]

people

people like you

[wintry ice]

trend
looks inside
no one knows it

[digital pewter]

theyre called therians right

[honest dawn]

That you like dressing up as a dog or cat is another thing entirely.

[oak axle]

He is a Metal thing

[honest dawn]

Yeah

[serene forge]

death metal

[oak axle]

U can't eat him

[honest dawn]

I forgot the name

[serene forge]

get it

[oak axle]

Or her

[serene forge]

he's metal

[past locust]

THEY WONT APPEAR IN THE PACKS
THEY'RE AFRAID

[shell rock]

so do i just take him out to a park or something and let him feast on the bodies of the unsuspecting

[serene forge]

feasting

i should be feasting

[glad viper]

theres a chance he might nibble on your arm, other than that make sure he stays away from the EXACT location in the north pole

[honest dawn]

Enjoy what? They know it's a lie and they're only doing it for attention, that's very obvious.

[hybrid tendon]

I should be

[lost vault]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[honest dawn]

Why can no one believe in a species that isn't

[lost vault]

i have no idea what youre talking avout

[glad viper]

that isn't

that isn't what

finish the sentence

please

i need context

[honest dawn]

I mean, I use a translator

[lost vault]

i thinkkk im gonna leave this discussion now

good balatros to everyone! femboy blessing upon ye

[hybrid tendon]

this is getting pretty weird yeh

[shell rock]

byee

[wintry ice]

idk it doesn't seem worth continuing

[honest dawn]

But basically I'm saying that no one can believe they belong to a species other than the human brain.

[oak axle]

Nuuuuu

[honest dawn]

One cannot understand the dog's behavior

[shell rock]

you would be surprised

but if people don't want to talk about this im happy to change the subject

[oak axle]

What's ur native land

Language*

[shell rock]

someone post a balatro run stst

stat

[glad viper]

got it

[honest dawn]

I speak Spanish

[oak axle]

Invest tag and pray

[torpid shard]

Stay faithful yall

[tepid skiff]

ok ante 3 fun build

[glad viper]

i still haven't made this choice

[serene forge]

cloud 9

[wintry ice]

caption this

[glad viper]

I HAVE NO NINES

[oak axle]

I can bring in a translator /hj

[serene forge]

YOU HAD THREE OF THEM

[shell rock]

ante 3 huh

[glad viper]

ITS NOT ENOUGH, I NEED MORE

[tepid skiff]

me when gay:

[stable sedge]

My Cavendish just expired. Ante 7. First run on gold stake.

[serene forge]

THEN MAKE MORE

here win

[shell rock]

this happens exclusively in cryptid i feel

[honest dawn]

How is that? And that's how the bad message was translated

[shell rock]

+8 mult for ante 1? that's broken wtf

[tepid skiff]

just get a baron and some red seal gold kings and photochad by ante 3 pretty easy >_<

[honest dawn]

The problem is that the translator doesn't translate the abbreviations.

[oak axle]

It's fine understandable

[honest dawn]

That's why it's sometimes difficult for me.

[serene forge]

here, win

[shell rock]

i had one run like this, idol and arrowhead build on a decent erratic deck seed, scored in the millions in ante 3 and died to anti spade blind ante 4

fun.

[lilac portal]

What do I do if I've cleared all decks on gold stake but the achievement isn't popping up?

[hybrid tendon]

start a new run on any stake and win it

[sharp plank]

play another run

[past locust]

I died

[oak axle]

What build

[shell rock]

odd todd, smiley, photograph, business card

[peak plinth]

I got it from a wraith, in ante 8 big blind because of a spectral pack skip💔💔💔 my bad

[past locust]

Odd todd is there because mom said so💔

[oak axle]

Cool

[shell rock]

hologram thinks hes on the team

[vocal rose]

it is

[past locust]

x15

[shell rock]

jk hologram is always on the team

[vocal rose]

but

they are ranked

[serene forge]

why the hell would you ever skip for fucking ethereal tag 🥀

[vocal rose]

in the tiers roughly

[past locust]

Now when i shoot hoops I'm gonna gamble

[ivory portal]

Holy God seed

First two blind skips is $25

And I get these

😭😭😭

[oak axle]

Do u do naninf runs

[vocal rose]

hi give me interactions gs a8 tierlist

moved B and B- jokers

also moved invis down

[serene forge]

sometimes

when I feel extra braindead

[oak axle]

GS A8?

[serene forge]

not a priority for me though

[glad viper]

my bones, they are brittle

[alpine nest]

We're taking abt gold stake tho I'm pretty sure

[vocal rose]

Gold Stake Ante 8

[honest dawn]

Good tier, I'd say.

[vocal rose]

thank you

[alpine nest]

Guys always assume we're talking abt gold stake unless stated otherwise

[ivory portal]

Here's the seed

[oak axle]

When I reach Naninf I'm gonna forget this game exists until another update imo 😭

[alpine nest]

I feel like everytime i leave and come back there's a tone of new ppl

[alpine nest]

Same

[oak axle]

Iv been playing for a week

[serene forge]

"here, win"

[alpine nest]

LMAO

[honest dawn]

For me, all the reactivators are equally good, but I understand why you put Tragicomedia at the bottom because it has a counter.

[alpine nest]

The what?

Tragicomedia?

[serene forge]

sock and buskin

[vocal rose]

I could move sock up

a little bit

[honest dawn]

Then the steel joker is very good

[vocal rose]

its pretty low tbh

[honest dawn]

In my opinion

[serene forge]

sock and buskin translates to tragedy and comedy in a lot of languages

[alpine nest]

OH

Okay

[vocal rose]

yeah I agree

[alpine nest]

Thank you Very Gay Lesbian Hornet

[vocal rose]

im moving it up a tiny bit

[oak axle]

I thought it's obvious on the card design

[serene forge]

hehe

[vocal rose]

it deserves low A-

[hybrid tendon]

balatro x4 speed is so slow ....

[serene forge]

real

[alpine nest]

I want x8

[oak axle]

Just put subsway surfer screen besides it

[honest dawn]

I don't understand what Red Card is doing so high up.

[hybrid tendon]

I'm usually playing in x16 lol

[honest dawn]

But hey, everyone has their own playing style

[glad viper]

its sk gkod

[vocal rose]

because its the second best +mult scaler

[hybrid tendon]

no I'm not that brainrotted

[honest dawn]

Not for me, and even if it were, I wouldn't put it there.

[vocal rose]

and one of the most consistent options for winning

[alpine nest]

I am. but Sub way surfers just ain't that entertaining if ur not playing

[vocal rose]

well it doesn't really matter

its objectively one of the best mult jokers

[oak axle]

Guys I need another game to take a break from balatro any recommendations iv been playing like 5hrs a day 😭

[vocal rose]

for winning gold stake

[vocal rose]

my playing style is being as optimal as possible

[shell rock]

clover pit

[oak axle]

My phone is full of Balatro

[hybrid tendon]

terraria

[vocal rose]

red card fits that description

[honest dawn]

For me, the surprise card is better (I think it's translated badly, but the one that gives you +2 multi for each re-roll).

[alpine nest]

Wr low

[vocal rose]

flash card over red card??????????????

[honest dawn]

And I prefer supernova too

[vocal rose]

oh my lord

[oak axle]

Flash card def better long run

[alpine nest]

No

[vocal rose]

what...?

"better long run"

what does that even mean

[shell rock]

when i see red card im always low on econ

[alpine nest]

I think they're abt equal with red card usually being better

[oak axle]

+2 Per skip??

[alpine nest]

Circumstantial

[honest dawn]

I generally have a good financial situation, so I do a lot of rerolls.

[oak axle]

I mean reroll**

[honest dawn]

And I think it's better.

[oak axle]

That's pretty good

[alpine nest]

Ur almost always opening packs tho

[honest dawn]

Red Card is also good

[vocal rose]

5 dollars for +2 mult

[alpine nest]

One shop of red card is like

[shell rock]

well yeah but i also can usually find easier +mult than red card

[oak axle]

I'm not skipping them?

[vocal rose]

that only gets more expensive for more scaling

[honest dawn]

But it's because of a re-roll

It's not like boots where you waste money

[alpine nest]

U don't always need what's in them tho

And flash card is so expensive

[shell rock]

last run i found fibonacci after eternal spare trousers and like 3 holographic jokers lol

[wintry ice]

most of the results from them are worse than +3 mult

[honest dawn]

You'll always be able to do rerolls with good economics.

[vocal rose]

every pack has a hermit, mercury, blue/purple seal for you?

strawman but

[wintry ice]

like anything equal to emperor or worse is a pass

[oak axle]

Nope lol

[vocal rose]

+3 mult is TYPICALLY better

[vocal rose]

so a +3 mult would serve better

[wintry ice]

and celestial packs can be perma skipped if you have a consistent chip generator and aren't using const

[honest dawn]

On top of that, with a red card you spend more, +6 for multi for 8 in cash, let's assume in the best-case scenario, with no benefit whatsoever.

[shell rock]

3 rerolls with no vouchers is 18 dollars is it not

for +6 on flash card

[honest dawn]

I prefer to do a re-roll and maybe buy something good, plus I get multi+ for Joker

[wintry ice]

packs are something you always spend money on given you stay above interest afterwards

so the effective cost is 0

[vocal rose]

but +6 mult for 18 dollars is fine

[wintry ice]

zoahl already went through this

[honest dawn]

It also depends on factors like vouchers or jokers, but you do get an extra benefit.

You always do rerolls in a game

[shell rock]

i remember someone saying that red card is especially good because it guarantees every pack has something worthwile

[honest dawn]

But you almost never skip envelopes unless you have a red card

[oak axle]

For someone who always get investment tag 1st ante flash card is so much better 😭

[vocal rose]

yep

[shell rock]

did you say that i don't remember

[vocal rose]

I mean we've already explained almost every reason on this isnt the case

[wintry ice]

and most things you get from packs are worse than +3 mult

[vocal rose]

so if you arent willing to budge

thats fine

[wintry ice]

so you skip pretty frequently with red card

which results in it almost always getting big enough

[shell rock]

i think the only problem with red card is that i never see it

[vocal rose]

the difference on viability is so clear you can math out the $ to mult ratio on both jokers and it shows how much more expensive flash card is

[wintry ice]

flash card needs rebate level economy to outpace the common +mults

[vocal rose]

an 8 dollar pack is $2.67 per mult with red card

KEEP in mind

[wintry ice]

haha

[vocal rose]

you can take a card with that

and still get the benefit of red card

[wintry ice]

he said the funny word

[fervent wolf]

Hello

[vocal rose]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

SIXTY SEVEN

[alpine nest]

Soldier 6-7 fr

[honest dawn]

Also, one more thing, the red card is limited.

[vocal rose]

no it isnt

[honest dawn]

Obviously, they are two different runs.

[alpine nest]

Ante 8 runs are not rerolling 17 dollars consistently every shop

[honest dawn]

If you have enough money to earn interest, but it's not crazy, a red card is better.

[wintry ice]

what makes it limited

[honest dawn]

But for example with Campfire

[shell rock]

grimbo or ride the bus can gain +4 per round on most decks, red card gains +6

how is this limited

[vocal rose]

this is best case scenario tbf

[peak plinth]

Had 7 skips, was definitely scoring very good and wanted to use them

[honest dawn]

How many rerolls do you do in ante 8 to get the maximum xmulti?

[vocal rose]

there is no maximum xmult for campfire but

[shell rock]

well yeah, red card still probably averages at least +4 mult per round though

[wintry ice]

well most of the rerolls would be towards the end of the game

so you'd have to wait a while to get flash card up

[serene forge]

red card is good actually

[vocal rose]

you average out at $1.67 per +1 mult with red card

[shell rock]

haha

[vocal rose]

without the cost of using hands too

[oak axle]

I just use a joker with holo then eventually steer into Chad photo

;-;

[honest dawn]

+148 You'd spend it on rerolls with a flash card.

[vocal rose]

I mean thats fine

[honest dawn]

So it would really be +1-2-3 6 money per shop

[vocal rose]

but since we're talking viability

there is a right and a wrong here

nothing towards you at all fyi

[serene forge]

consistency is more important than being overkill

[oak axle]

I just think flash is better since I always do Endless

[serene forge]

flash card is objectively less consistent

[wintry ice]

how does this conversion work

[serene forge]

unless you have the synergies

which you wouldn't most of the time

[honest dawn]

So if you do a reroll plus 10, it would be +8 multi for 10 coins, which is better than 8 coins for skipping two packs. And sometimes you look for better things and reroll many times.

[wintry ice]

what

[vocal rose]

I mean the initial context was gold stake ante 8

[oak axle]

OHHH

[vocal rose]

yes

[oak axle]

my bad

[honest dawn]

I also always spend all my money on ante 8 in gold stake

[vocal rose]

bruh I thought you knew 😭

its okay you're a balatro player

[wintry ice]

balatro players vs context clues who wins

[oak axle]

I played for a week

[vocal rose]

@wintry ice even steven, scary, and smiley were all at C tier initially

which was bad

[oak axle]

My only goal is to get naninf rhen quit

[vocal rose]

this is where they are now

[honest dawn]

I'll just say that I've taken my flash card to +100 multi-tab in gold stake, while my red card has only reached a maximum of +88, I think.

[wintry ice]

i could see them going on the same tier as flash card

[shell rock]

im happy with shoot the moon in b

[vocal rose]

yeah

I might've moved them a little high

[honest dawn]

Huh? Scary and Smiley are good at first.

[wintry ice]

maybe scary in b becauae of chip scarcity

[vocal rose]

I like smiley more than even steven

[shell rock]

oh my goodness gracious hit the road in A-

[vocal rose]

but scary is good

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vocal rose]

idk why I made it so low

[honest dawn]

One of the best jokers to survive the early rounds

[vocal rose]

I should make him B

[shell rock]

i never thought i'd see hit the road appreciation

[vocal rose]

yes

[shell rock]

lovely

[wintry ice]

well yeah they don't really carry over to lategame well like the jokers above them do

[honest dawn]

Then you'll want to discard it, but it's not that tier, in my opinion.

I also don't understand why the sunset is so low.

It's one of the best game reactivators

Reactivate everything in the last hand

[shell rock]

oh yeah wait why is dusk so low

[wintry ice]

retriggers are mostly for econ utility at the current state of the game

[shell rock]

its not an incredible retriggerer but its definitely good

[vocal rose]

the condition for it is pretty bad and there isnt too many usage cases

I don't think its that good

it is pretty low so I may reconsider moving it up a tiny bit

but the retrigger value just isnt there

[honest dawn]

Yes, it's perfect as it is.

[vocal rose]

since you benefit from having MORE cards played

[wintry ice]

i think i could argue for acrobat up since it serves a similar pourpose as order and family

[vocal rose]

when this is a pair meta

[hardy fable]

half of my clipboard are just balatro seeds lol

[honest dawn]

He's no worse than the jokers below him, nor better than those above him.

[shell rock]

wait wtf why is glass joker in s

[vocal rose]

he can go bottom of A-

[wintry ice]

it'a best usecases are aj and trib

and one of those is a legendary

[vocal rose]

because hes one of the best jokers

thats why

[honest dawn]

Is s+

[shell rock]

it's as though there is almost never a presentable opportunity to use glass joker

[vocal rose]

yeah

[vocal rose]

ummmm

nah thats not true

you make a glass card

and he can show up

[honest dawn]

I think I exaggerated haha

[vocal rose]

so I think he has lots of opportunities to show up

[honest dawn]

But it's one of the best non-legendary xmultis

It's like a canio, but made of glass cards.

[wintry ice]

i kinda don't agree with bones in A tier

[honest dawn]

And a little worse

[shell rock]

well yeah but i don't make glass cards often because i like to have big +mult and glass would barely affect my score at that point

[vocal rose]

hes literally a worse canio

which is a good thing

[wintry ice]

i make glass to mark cards for death

they also work well for emergencies if i have blue seals

[vocal rose]

im the mr bones glazer so its a tiny bit controversial

but

[shell rock]

i guess its not bad but glass also never breaks when i need it to

[vocal rose]

just a controlled 4x mult

that guarantees your life is so fucking good

[shell rock]

-# glass joker is also something i never see but

[wintry ice]

you can force glass cards to break by hanging them

[shell rock]

you know what thats a good point

[honest dawn]

You can start by trying to use one or two, and if you get lucky, start breaking the glass cards.

[vocal rose]

hanged man and trading card can work

I will agree that sometimes it just makes the glass cards into fucking obsidian

but thats just confirmation bias

[honest dawn]

Obviously, try to get glass cards when you have no other option.

Do not try to force the glass cards

[wintry ice]

well hey obsidian is brittle too

[vocal rose]

okay but like

minecraft

[wintry ice]

obsidian is also a volcanic glass

what do i replace for chad

[wintry ice]

what hand are you playing

[acoustic kettle]

Probably halfsies

[plain briar]

yea

bit of straights

or pairs

[wintry ice]

oh i didn't see half joker

[plain briar]

mostly face cards

[wintry ice]

yea it's not doing much

[plain briar]

half joker gone?

[honest dawn]

What is the right decision here?

[wintry ice]

it's mult applies after photo

midas

[honest dawn]

Yeah

[glad viper]

joker

[honest dawn]

That's crazy!

[wintry ice]

midas ticket is funny

[fervent wolf]

Repost I think (idfk if it is or not, don't care)

[tulip meadow]

rather fun deck

[iron jacinth]

yo i found this seed

[tulip meadow]

thinned my deck down so far that ancient joker can only pick one suit

[iron jacinth]

you get double poly photo poly brain and a trib by ante 4

dont mind the mod

[fervent wolf]

Ancient always switches suits no matter what

[weak relic]

Boots

[fervent wolf]

Old me mentioned

[wicked ether]

smeared with ancient is really good

[tulip meadow]

last I checked it can only pick a suit that's in your deck but..

hm

[fervent wolf]

That's castle

[acoustic kettle]

It's not

[tulip meadow]

well anyway it kept picking the suits in my deck

[acoustic kettle]

Aj doesn't work that way

[wicked ether]

i mean for like ante 5

[plain briar]

should i hex coz i got etnerals

[iron jacinth]

what would you be hexing bro

not worth tbh

[plain briar]

photo or chad

[abstract light]

FINALLY,THIS FUCKING DEJA VU JUST COME

[twin rune]

Red seal on the jack will score you far more

[abstract light]

😭

[plain briar]

ight thanks

[peak plinth]

Good run?

Im renting ALL the jokers

[tidal pawn]

Bro's boss blind is never seeing the light of day again

Bro's boss blind is more disabled than me

[plain briar]

is smily better than scary

[abstract light]

😭

[wicked ether]

should i take baron or run with the astrology

my deck btw

[abstract light]

trib better

[wicked ether]

deck maxxing better than deck fixing

[abstract light]

but if u want a long term run

u can try it

[tulip meadow]

oo

[wicked ether]

imma get baron and deck maxx for naninf

the baron died on me cuz i just did queens

[lunar zealot]

blutstein est... gut?

@serene forge

[river hinge]

This is going to be one of the most ridiculous sets of gold stickers I've ever gotten

[river hinge]

(It did work, if that wasn't clear)

[devout rune]

What should I do

[dark cairn]

spent an entire hour doing a run just to gold sticker misprint and nothing else
Worth.

[devout rune]

the dagger has +20 mult

[dark cairn]

i fucking hate misprint and now i never need to touch it ever again (theoretically)

917/1200 joker stickers

79/150 gold stickers iirc

[devout rune]

should i sell gros michel

[acoustic kettle]

You could sell misprint

[dark cairn]

kill misprint

[acoustic kettle]

No

[dark cairn]

misprint's range is 0-23

so that means it gives 11 mult on average

[devout rune]

ok

ive never won a game on black deck before

hopefully i win this one

[dark cairn]

black deck is the game's proper hard mode

i actually think its fun (outside of blue stake and gold stake causing some severe bullshit with it specifically)

man idk whats gonna be harder

getting gold stickers on all the bland common jokers that do literally nothing in the endgame

or getting gold stickers on all the uncommon+ jokers that you can never find when you need them and are too expensive to pick up speculatively in the early/midgame

[shut shore]

The jokes writes themselves heh

[devout rune]

Should I sell a joker and use it

[tulip meadow]

guh stinkin game wont give me the voucher

its the one last thing for my collection

[glossy mortar]

My very first ever Soul. Any bets on what it will be?

[slow iris]

canio

[civic shadow]

the red one

u have no space btw

[glossy mortar]

No fucking way you called it.

First one to respond guessed it

Well great. Now i need to find a way to destroy face cards xD

Wait…

Everything is a face card

[civic shadow]

also just asking, why do u have 7 discards and a joker that only mults when on 0 cards

[glossy mortar]

I need to destroy cards xD

[glossy mortar]

Because i spend all discards money farming with faceless

7 discards = $35

[civic shadow]

ohh

[glossy mortar]

Plus it lets me use a bunch of my purple seals.

This build is wack.

[civic shadow]

pretty sure im screwed if the best thing I can do is a 3 of a kind

[slow iris]

i didn't even notice the discards damn

yorick would've went crazy

[tidal pawn]

What's popcorn on rn?

[plain briar]

does smiley replace scary?

[civic shadow]

16 so with blueprint 32

[tidal pawn]

And what about the reroll gives mult joker, forgot the name

[civic shadow]

whatever 9+10 is (21)

[tidal pawn]

It might win

[civic shadow]

wait

blueprint with reroll

thats 42

[tidal pawn]

Hell yea

It could win

[civic shadow]

wait wait

I thought of the wrong one

But its still better than with the rerol

[tidal pawn]

Huh?

[manic vault]

anything i should sell for chad?

[civic shadow]

Abstract is on 21

flash card is on 10

[tidal pawn]

Nah, you got nothing that synergizes with Chad, unless you wanna dig for photograph

[civic shadow]

Im gonna put blueprint with abstract

[manic vault]

ok thanks

[civic shadow]

and pray for the best

aw man

[tidal pawn]

Oof

[civic shadow]

I always lose on 5, 6, and 7

2TIZTKQR heres the seed if u want it

[tidal pawn]

Alr bet

What deck were you playing

[balmy gulch]

Yall think I should go for invis?

[tidal pawn]

Yes but it's a tough choice on what to sell to get rid of it

[balmy gulch]

I want to pivot into baron but mime eludes me

DNA is saving me from running out of glass

[silk marlin]

Since you’re not on plasma, I’d actually take the idol route and sell Baron.

[balmy gulch]

It never occurred to me that baron is even better on plasma. Guess it's the chips from high card vs flush5 being nullified?

[manic vault]

what should i sell for cavendish

[terse vale]

todd

I mean

steven

sorry

[balmy gulch]

Smh misnaming Steven 🙁

[slow iris]

what an odd mistake

[manic vault]

lmao

yeah polychrome just cant beat x3 mult

[calm furnace]

astronomer and red card synergy 🤤

proceed to find like 7 planet packs entire run

this has to be the weakest red card of my career

foil groker carried me

[civic shadow]

FUUUUUU I didnt mean to do a straight flush

Im screwed

0 discards and the only straight flush left is cards in my deck

hold on... I... wait.... FUH THATS A ROYAL FLUSH AND NOT A STRAIGHT FLUSH EVEN THO THEYRE THE SAME JUST WITH A SPECIFIC SET OF CARDS

[slow iris]

royal flush counts as straight flush

[civic shadow]

thank god

PRAY FOR A SPADE KING

HEART KING FUH

The one recent time I need the spade king...

or the Moon or whatever Tarot it is

OH I START A NEW GAME AND THE FIRST HAND HAS THE SPADE KING

[tulip meadow]

it still wont give me 😭

been at this for hours

[tidal pawn]

I was close

[civic shadow]

oh man

[tidal pawn]

I actually probably could have won tbh

[deft sandal]

ChiGoat

the only legendary I dont have gold sticker on

[rocky tiger]

Cant relate 🥶

Chicot is too strong

[fallen ingot]

do i take brainstorm. and if so for what?

[molten thicket]

why is everything gay

anyways show your deck

[molten thicket]

probably just sell a stm

actually no

sell the hologram

[fallen ingot]

and then what do i put the brainstrom on, baron?

[molten thicket]

yeah

also put the queens in front of the kings before scoring for most points

[fallen ingot]

yeah ive been doing that

[plain briar]

do i gamble with ankh

theres a brainstorm in the shop

[molten thicket]

yeahh

[plain briar]

bet

what do i brainstorm

[slow iris]

photograph

[latent egret]

should have sold stm

[sharp plank]

someone hates throwback lol

[latent egret]

its way worse than an x3 lol

[latent egret]

only 8 queens on a 50+ card deck means you shouldn't even rely on stm in the first place

[molten thicket]

eh at least stm gives some +mult before baron

hologram is just worse

[latent egret]

if you draw a queen

?? an x3

[nova elk]

On abandoned deck do I want to add face cards?

[latent egret]

is always gonna be better than a dupe +mult even with polychrome

[unreal topaz]

with high card levels it doesnt matter

probably

needs more context

[latent egret]

no it does not

the guy has 8 queens

[molten thicket]

plus 3.75x is not that much

[latent egret]

stm is unreliable

[latent egret]

im sorry to be toxic but you at least aint lying with your username

[shell dagger]

More than duped stm can possibly do

[wild merlin]

why is it locked when i beat rich get richer?

[molten thicket]

okay??

[latent egret]

i was hoping someone competent would come and help

[latent egret]

you are saying a 3x does nothin

like

it multiples the total score by 3x

[molten thicket]

in high score runs yeah a 3x is basically nothing

[fallen ingot]

its okay boys its not that deep

it improved

[latent egret]

if he had no +mult at all there could be a discussion

but he has 2 stm

[unreal topaz]

in high score runs +mult, like shoot the moon, is also nothing

worse in fact typically

but the deck isnt refined enough for me to consider that a high score run

[molten thicket]

it still depends on what hand level they have

[unreal topaz]

the xmult is just better

[latent egret]

AND HE COULD VERY WELL BOTTOM DECK ALL HIS QUEENS

[shell dagger]

No it doesn’t here

The duped stm is capped at a 3x and that’s with level 1 hand size

[latent egret]

if he had only queens in his deck holo would still be better

[molten thicket]

how would he bottom deck 11 queens

[latent egret]

but with 11/50+ queens

[molten thicket]

its perfectly reasonable to be able to draw at least 1-2 queens out of 11

[plain briar]

replace obelisk with baron?

[latent egret]

so with only 2 queens how does a second stm help at all

[latent egret]

you are playing 5 cards correct ?

[unreal topaz]

even with lowish levels he has enough time to get enough planet cards to make shoot the moon obsolete

[plain briar]

yes

[latent egret]

then baron is not good

[plain briar]

i can pivot

can i not

[glossy mortar]

He did me well. Caino is the goat for finally getting me past ante 12.

[molten thicket]

might be too late

[unreal topaz]

also theres a blue seal

[molten thicket]

yeah def too late

[unreal topaz]

who needs stm

[latent egret]

with 4 eternals to play 5oak

no

[latent egret]

who needs 2 stm

[plain briar]

okay

fair

[latent egret]

like that's insane

[fallen ingot]

it was a good run gg, ty for help either way guys

[unreal topaz]

even less impactful

[molten thicket]

oh thats so many queens

[unreal topaz]

yeah so it didnt matter either way

[latent egret]

b-b-but hologram is bad in high score runs !!!!!?!!!

[unreal topaz]

both choices lead to the same death spot

[latent egret]

bruh

[unreal topaz]

"high score" seems like just taking a normal run endless

not high score rly

[glossy mortar]

Speaking of bad. What is the “baddest” joker? I don’t mean bad as in it’s weak, no I mean BAD. RUDE. UNKIND. MEAN. E V I L.

[latent egret]

11 queens out of a 62 card deck lmao

[latent egret]

idol

[molten thicket]

you know

[latent egret]

it will always hit the 1/20 chance to miss

[molten thicket]

people here hate 1 singular joker

[latent egret]

if you let it miss

[molten thicket]

with a burning passion

[twin rune]

Gotta be bloodstone.

[molten thicket]

ah there we go

[twin rune]

At least idol has no real hope of hitting in a gold stake run, with bloodstone it's the hope that kills you

[slow iris]

I hate Throwback

[plain briar]

blueprint instead of obelisk?

[molten thicket]

definitely

[latent egret]

now you just need to make glass

[tidal pawn]

Denial

[weak relic]

Yuri jumpscare from both Wraiths

[fiery fox]

This Cavendish will reappear if I skip it, right?

[slow iris]

yes

well it can

[molten thicket]

maybe

[fiery fox]

Perhaps

I have the economy so I hope I get it again next shop

[digital pewter]

well, shoot

a chance to gold stake a new legendary, possibly

but i either sacrifice half my +mult, all my chips, or xmult

and none of the jokers i can pull from it help with scoring

this might be a soul skip

[shell dagger]

You should be fine to take

Unless grimbo/bus are horribly scaled

[digital pewter]

they both had 40+ by the end

didn't end up taking it

probably should've ngl

replace the square joker

was basically 200 chips at the end

with a pair level of 19 i didn't really need it as much as everything else

i managed to sneak in an ecto for a free gold stake on a joker though

[serene blade]

while that is a very cool gold stake run

read em and weep

optimal. white stake

[digital pewter]

dude is just straight up getting dressed

the overalls build

[balmy gulch]

Lol I have planet tycoon but not planet merchant

[digital pewter]

damn

again?

[serene blade]

engineering my erratic deck to work with flower pot was surprisingly fun

it sucks that the strategy dies horribly the moment I escape white stake ante 8

flower pot bad, ect

[digital pewter]

dawg

[slow iris]

buy

[balmy gulch]

I swear flowerpot would be better if it was just xmult based on the number of suits you play.

x1 for flushes, x2 for 2 suits, etc

[serene blade]

and there's the classic fact it clashes with Seeing Double, ect

[fallen ingot]

what do you guys look for in early game gold stake?

[serene blade]

I'm not a player of that myself, but if memory serves, investment tag ante 1

uhhh the jokers that scale with hands played like green and bus and square

ways to get big bursts of money like mail in rebate or faceless too

[plain briar]

does driving liscene help or keep chad

[twilit bridge]

keep chat

license is a x3, chad is a x4

[plain briar]

ight thanks

[primal heath]

i got another natural negative legendary

[patent sail]

[shell dagger]

Chad is way more

[patent sail]

probably holo? idek

[twilit bridge]

proabbly

[shell dagger]

Definitely

[twilit bridge]

the bus

[patent sail]

[urban heath]

[tired silo]

Thank you

[twilit bridge]

yea i died 100 points short to the wall

i mean a double baron shop 1 isnt something to scoff at

to be fair

[tired silo]

Baron overhyped

[twilit bridge]

it is

but i maintain my point

[quaint urchin]

runner the best scaling joker fr

[tired silo]

Its terrible anywhere before ante idk 20

[twilit bridge]

runner red card

[quaint urchin]

that's for soccer

[twilit bridge]

[quaint urchin]
