If you can get to e76 with Bime, you can definitely get to Naneinf :-)

[wintry ice]

[pallid ferry]

it’s gorgeous…

[ancient gyro]

well that changes things

[nocturne fable]

yeah, thing is i got antimatter EXACTLY when i wouldve died, so it was sadge

[sweet pollen]

a man cant die before experience this

[pallid ferry]

🥹

[ionic shore]

The one thing I cannot manage to do is get good Showman/Negatives like you see in the vids. But to be fair, I also only play White Stake and Filtered Seeds

[carmine spoke]

I have double poly ancient joker on ante 2 rn

[wintry ice]

well this is convenient

[nocturne fable]

lol

[ancient gyro]

when you realize antimatter and retcon are very money intensive for their rewards

[pallid ferry]

more money more chips more good

[ionic shore]

As they say in cooking, More Butter More Better

[glad viper]

[pallid ferry]

[wintry ice]

and the backup 4oak pays off because of the eye

[pallid ferry]

[wintry ice]

well not even backup anymore

[ionic shore]

Well, yes. I'm paraphrasing, but it's pretty universally agreed on that More Butter = More Better, No Exceptions Ever ™

[carmine spoke]

You cant tell me this doesnt look good on ante 4

[nocturne fable]

more better more butter or sum

[glad viper]

its EVIL

[ionic shore]

[ancient gyro]

[carmine spoke]

Nice

[wintry ice]

yea

[ancient gyro]

and don't skip mfw

[pallid ferry]

could be wrong but probably go for the ancient joker unless you have a clear direction in mind

and sell something to get value off stencil

the certificate’s pretty good too i think

[nocturne fable]

its decided

[ancient gyro]

stencil can die atp

[deep fossil]

Sell the showman and reroll until you have no money

[nocturne fable]

we going hearts

[nocturne fable]

i sold stencil dw

[wintry ice]

i'm forced to take hiero aren't i

[ancient gyro]

[pallid ferry]

ok two stakes left to go until i complete painted wish me luck

[sweet pollen]

i wont

[deep fossil]

I wish you misfortune

[sweet pollen]

i refuse to wish you lucl

[wintry ice]

this is basically the only option against this titan of a boss blind

[pallid ferry]

how cruel !!!

[nocturne fable]

oh i love my lucky cards

i gave me twenty dollars

[pallid ferry]

insert a roffle hoooooly

[sweet pollen]

i once had a run with chad, all 6s and like half lucky card deck

[pallid ferry]

ante 1 shop 1 hologram 🌄

[wintry ice]

i really need deaths for my red seal jack

[ancient gyro]

unfortunate

[quick cloak]

id it bait

it has to be

[wintry ice]

if only i kept marble

[pallid ferry]

[nocturne fable]

ITS NOT

ITS A SIGN

TKAEEE

[wintry ice]

okay time to lock in

[quick cloak]

IT HAS TO BE BAIT

[deep fossil]

Take the buffoon pack there’s a soul card trust

[quick cloak]

ITS ALWAYS BAIT

[nocturne fable]

ITS NEVER

TURST YOUR GUT

[wintry ice]

yeah this boss is like that

[glossy mortar]

I thought jokers triggered from left to right?

[acoustic kettle]

It's never not bait

[wintry ice]

i probably should have just kept saving up

[deep fossil]

They do

[acoustic kettle]

It is

[nocturne fable]

is that a juicy 50 dollars i see

[acoustic kettle]

They do

[wintry ice]

actual immovable object

[ancient gyro]

🥀

[glossy mortar]

Well they don’t. Riff raf and dagger both have abilities that activate when you press start blind. Yet riff raff didn’t trigger first even though it’s left from dagger.

Idm why this game can’t just be consistant with it’s logic.

Or at least let you know how it works.

[deep fossil]

They trigger left to right in a blind

[glossy mortar]

Like at least say “riffraf does NOT trigger from left to right, it triggers last,”

[nocturne fable]

hm

what do i do in this sitatuon

[glossy mortar]

This is what pisses me off with this game. Like this should be written somewhere. You shouldent be required to read the wiki to know this stupid shit.

[cursive lion]

should i get

[deep fossil]

Take the standard pack there’s a soul trust

[nocturne fable]

bet

only a spectral

[deep fossil]

Gang it’s just a riff raff

[wintry ice]

literally finding every possible excuse to get mad at the game

🥀

[white flint]

finally beaten orange stake yay

[ancient gyro]

dice and photo currently doing fuck all rn

[white flint]

time for gold

[wintry ice]

nice

[analog estuary]

mad you say

[glossy mortar]

Yeah and that riff raf was supposed to get me 2 mult on my dagger.

[nocturne fable]

i got luckt cards

[glossy mortar]

It’s the entire reason why i bought it.

[pallid ferry]

probably sell dice and take the smiley if your levels are low or dusk?

[analog estuary]

dont take its eternal

[wintry ice]

is this time for vergeance

holy shit

[deep fossil]

It was on the left of the dagger dagger destroys what’s in the right

[pale wolf]

beep

[ancient gyro]

wh

[cursive lion]

it being eternal isn't the end of the world

[pallid ferry]

it’s beautiful!!

[white flint]

dang

photochad is carrying me so hard 😭

[pallid ferry]

did you guys hear a beep

[cursive lion]

what beep

[wintry ice]

what rank should i be destroying first on plasma

2s are like

overpowered in this deck

[acoustic kettle]

3s

[cursive lion]

yes or no gang

[deep fossil]

That’s actually really insensitive to the deaf 😔

[white flint]

also my 1st sticker with normal joker is orange stake cuz it was natural negative 😭

[glossy mortar]

Yes but riff raff creates 2 jokers at start of blind. Yet it didn’t do that until AFTER dagger triggered even though riff raff was on the left of dagger.

[deep fossil]

Why does it matter?

[pallid ferry]

holy blunder.. gotta get that ukulele ready for my apology video..

[glossy mortar]

Because i was supposed to get 2 mult on my dagger!?!?!!

[deep fossil]

How would you have done that though?

[wintry ice]

it's just slightly delayed

[white flint]

also

how much harder is gold stake than orange stake

[acoustic kettle]

Not much

Like 2 bananas harder

[cursive lion]

the only difference is the rental sticker just have a good econ and you should be fine

[sweet pollen]

where is the balatro save file folder???

[white flint]

i mean i got a lucky seed

[deep fossil]

Rental jokers should stop working when you don’t have enough money

[pallid ferry]

not too much harder, rentals can be kind of scary to deal with in the earlier antes but if you get a good econ engine you’re fine

[white flint]

likee photochad and lucky cat carried me

[cursive lion]

which operating system are you on (windows, linux, or mac)

[sweet pollen]

windows

[wintry ice]

there isn't that much of a difference between being in debt and being broke

[cursive lion]

AppData/Roaming/Balatro

[sweet pollen]

thxx

[glossy mortar]

Okay let me spell this out. So jokers trigger left to right.

So we have joker 1, joker 2, riffraff, dagger, empty spot for riffraff spawn,

You press blind, triggering left to right riff raff summons joker to the right of dagger.
Dagger triggers and eats summoned joker.
Gain anywhere from 2-6 mult depending on summoned joker.

However riffraff breaks the rules of jokers and is set so it always triggers last no matter where it is, so this didn’t happen.

[pallid ferry]

photochad lucky cat builds are pretty strong

[cursive lion]

https://www.supportyourtech.com/articles/how-to-get-to-appdata-in-windows-11-a-step-by-step-guide/

[sweet pollen]

yeah yeah ik

[ancient gyro]

tests your early game decisions a lot more, that's about it

[deep fossil]

Oh yeah idk why that is

[sweet pollen]

i just enabled the option to show hidden folders

[nocturne fable]

kevin harts cologne or lebron james hairline

[wintry ice]

given that it just seems like they trigger on the same instance

[terse vale]

the bron’s hairline

[wintry ice]

it feels weird to act like this just kills the game too

[glossy mortar]

Yeah well idk either but it’s not written anywhere but presumably on the wiki and maybe some internal data, it’s fucking stupid. Like this is the type of info that should be in the cards description.

[deep fossil]

Well it’s not really that important

[pallid ferry]

take because of cartomancer plus i have good econ?

[wintry ice]

it's 1 round less scaling

[ancient gyro]

same reason why riff raff drunkard burger is a thing

[glossy mortar]

Bro it cost me 2-6 mult and an entire round of scaling on dagger. That’s huge.

[wintry ice]

that doesn't matter unless you're starved on mult

[deep fossil]

Ehh

[glossy mortar]

Bro it’s early game, I’m starved on everything.

[ancient gyro]

fwp example

[wintry ice]

what round?

i'm selling everything

[ancient gyro]

oh

[wintry ice]

it's the best possible outcome

do i take this

[ancient gyro]

no

well

technically you have enough scaling to beat a8

[terse vale]

money is like all you need

[nocturne fable]

i wonder how this will play out

dna is active

[terse vale]

you have the scoring and the rest of the slots could be for utility

[limber loom]

do i take showman here

[ancient gyro]

no

[wintry ice]

you don't have the money for it

[terse vale]

also copy ohoto
pllss

[sweet pollen]

how do i change the version of a save file??

[terse vale]

but it depeeends i guess

[cursive lion]

that was a good game

[ancient gyro]

technically photoslop has the best reasonable use case for shitman

but no

[nocturne fable]

scary face has to go right?

[sweet pollen]

dont you dare insult photograph

[sweet pollen]

yeah ig

[ancient gyro]

why

[nocturne fable]

what else

[terse vale]

good for straights and photochad thats it

[ancient gyro]

i can insult whatever mainstream media method gets tossed around in convos

[terse vale]

and photochad is smelly

[wintry ice]

photochad is qualityslop

fire emoji

[nocturne fable]

it is but its so easy to get and win with

[violet charm]

can someone teach me the strats to this game i only have like an hour

[ancient gyro]

so easy and requiring 2 jokers are two different scenarios

[torpid bridge]

Learning on your own and figuring out yourself is more fun imo

[violet charm]

k

[torpid bridge]

Dont try to win the game in the first try

[wintry ice]

the strategies of this game are pretty diverse, you can either:
play pairs with bus and blue joker
play pairs with green joker and square
play pairs with blue seals and summit
play pa-

[sweet pollen]

uhhh

this run got potential

[wintry ice]

mayb

bruh momento

[ancient gyro]

oh

[torpid bridge]

You need the seance for deja vu

[sweet pollen]

was about to lose on first boss blind

[wintry ice]

(i was half tempted to fullskip for it)

[sweet pollen]

wait ur right

too late

[ancient gyro]

yeah I was skeptical about egg but whatever

[torpid bridge]

🤓

[sweet pollen]

AM I IN HEAVEN?

yo dude this seed is crazy

[wintry ice]

probably better to just continue

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[nocturne fable]

hey wanna know a crazy seed

[wintry ice]

yeah qualityslop!!!

[torpid bridge]

If only you took the seance

🤓

[sweet pollen]

honestly how did i not get any perishable joker yet

[sweet pollen]

shhhh

[ancient gyro]

do you die to a7 wall

[sweet pollen]

no

do i?

[nocturne fable]

double blueprint perkeo

[acoustic kettle]

Quality slop sounds so stupid
"I only like this game because it is good" Yeah like no shit

[sweet pollen]

i said no

[wintry ice]

i currently have around 1.5k chips with all blueprints on bull

[nocturne fable]

no

[wintry ice]

i think that almost beats vessel on this deck

so i'm not that worried

[sweet pollen]

says the guy on white stakes

[nocturne fable]

gang

i have e 76

[ancient gyro]

ight

[torpid bridge]

I have 67

[wintry ice]

white stake?

did you eat moldy beef?

[sweet pollen]

67 🤣

[torpid bridge]

Take it to get the temperance value ig

🤓

[nocturne fable]

is that a tboi reference

[wintry ice]

idk i never played it

[torpid bridge]

[sweet pollen]

i didnt

[torpid bridge]

I just got sticker on jimbo

Jimbo was huge value considering i had a hologram, a madness

Very big value

[wintry ice]

ggs lmao

[acoustic kettle]

Another one in arcana

[sweet pollen]

does a perishable egg continue to gain value after its debuffed? no right?

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[wintry ice]

there was a fool

[torpid bridge]

But you can still keep it for temperance value

[sweet pollen]

ok

[wintry ice]

is this what reddit thinks plasma is like

[torpid bridge]

I don't play plasma

No comment

[wintry ice]

me neither i just wanted to see if i could properly learn the deck

[nocturne fable]

wtf is this start

[wintry ice]

but then it because double blueprint brainrot as if it was an endless run

[pallid ferry]

game really wants you to play 3oak

[cloud sinew]

No it doesnt, but

It keeps its current value

[cloud sinew]

lol ante 3, this is an ante 8 setup already

[sullen mica]

got two blueprints and shoot the moon and mime, is it optimal to copy each once or what

[cloud sinew]

any steels?

[sullen mica]

like a third of my queens

[torpid bridge]

Not when the deck was 0 deck fixed

[cloud sinew]

copy mime fully

[sullen mica]

oki thanks

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt really matter, theyre playing 3oak on green stake

[wintry ice]

hey so andy

[sullen mica]

ante 7 btw, should i be aiming to switch to baron if most of the cards are already queens

[wintry ice]

you predicted right

idt i should be worried though

[cloud sinew]

youre fine. your 2250 chips clears it

[wintry ice]

this is so silly

[ancient gyro]

o

[terse vale]

whoa

[glad bronze]

holy build

[cloud sinew]

you two-shot vessel btw

[wintry ice]

lol

[ancient gyro]

🗣️

two shot?

[cloud sinew]

okay now you almost one-shot

you need like $30 more

[terse vale]

naneinf chips

[cloud sinew]

not possible

[terse vale]

bro the egg emoji kinda reminds me of ricky

[cloud sinew]

even theoretically

[terse vale]

ya I know

[nocturne fable]

we going nines

[cloud sinew]

huge

[wintry ice]

isn't the hard limit for additive values like

e16 or so

[terse vale]

oh I actually didn’t know that

[cloud sinew]

No

[terse vale]

oh

[wintry ice]

what is it then

[acoustic kettle]

How far could swash + gift card go before everything crashes

[cloud sinew]

adding 1 fails at e54, adding 2 fails at e55, adding 4 fails at e56, etc

[wintry ice]

so the theoretical maximum would be like

e103 with temperance emperor looping?

[cloud sinew]

is that the highest single money source

[wintry ice]

i can't even play dead hands anymore

[ancient gyro]

theoretical highest money cap with tarot looping

[wintry ice]

i think so

[ancient gyro]

o

[sweet pollen]

_ handy _

[nocturne fable]

this has to be the weirdest run ive ever played

[terse vale]

ooooh

[nocturne fable]

are you complaining

[cloud sinew]

the most money you could ever get is e61

[lucid gazelle]

Some friends and I are doing a balatro "league" which has been quite fun. Wonder if anyone can get further than ante 11, I got got when the blinds scaled to e11, heh.

Yellow Deck
Purple Stake
Seed: OLYMPICS

[terse vale]

ok bet

no perishables no rentals lets do it

[lucid gazelle]

er, ante 12, ante 13 small blind is the first e11 blind lol

[sweet pollen]

tried to trick me but i am ready

[lucid gazelle]

I think i could've made it if I didn't take an eternal for econ...

meh

[wintry ice]

is this unlimited tries or just 1

[cloud sinew]

eternal rebate is fine

[lucid gazelle]

just 1 for the spirit of the challenge

[nocturne fable]

i messed up

[sweet pollen]

[nocturne fable]

i played a highcard

[sweet pollen]

[terse vale]

seed is peak already

[wintry ice]

ic

[nocturne fable]

too hard

[cloud sinew]

[wintry ice]

this is gonna be fun

[lucid gazelle]

seed analyzers go brrr

[terse vale]

taking that ez

[cloud sinew]

and a cavendish ante 5 if you can kill gros by then

[terse vale]

I need to pivot sometime

[nocturne fable]

really now

[cloud sinew]

this is bait

[nocturne fable]

such big bait

[tender bone]

if i start the run with planet merchant can i get the tier 2 voucer in ante 1?

[wintry ice]

what's the ante 8 gold stake money record

[primal dragon]

Oh my God bro

[wintry ice]

i know i'm nowhere near close to it because of egg

[cloud sinew]

Yes

[primal dragon]

Why are you blue

[terse vale]

stencilll strat maybe???? could copy it

mmm

but I need to get a highscore

[cloud sinew]

JESSE

[lucid gazelle]

stencil was great for the knife's edge challenge lmao

[cloud sinew]

Soul Ante 4 btw

[sweet pollen]

do i take hologram or nah?

i dont think i will

im too far in the run

[cloud sinew]

Ante 6, round 13...

[wintry ice]

shortcut photochad is funny if you had taken a few saturns

[lost cradle]

guys what effect could this joker have

[sweet pollen]

ikik

[sweet pollen]

something rng

[terse vale]

bet

[nocturne fable]

temperance value

[unreal jolt]

Is ther a way to view past seeds?

Found one that gives cavendish ante 1

[lucid gazelle]

also, I learned during the challenge that reduces hand size for every $5, if you have credit card you gain hand size for being negative

[unreal jolt]

That's so tuff

[lucid gazelle]

broke gaming

[sage zodiac]

what a start

[sweet pollen]

mmhhh clubs steel king 🤤

[tender bone]

wait do the stickers only show in their specific stake?

or deck?

[unreal jolt]

1/1 chance of being destroyed, gives +100 mult

[cloud sinew]

You inspired me to continue my plasma streak, and...

ante 2 lmao

[unreal jolt]

Someone?

[cloud sinew]

No

not if you mean "see what seeds ive played before"

[unreal jolt]

NOOOOO

My ante one cavendishhhh

Never seen one

[terse vale]

banner buffoon pack is always reliable

[sweet pollen]

i do rarely

[unreal jolt]

Yea that's tuff

[sweet pollen]

ong

[unreal jolt]

We should get a pack that's just local hunks face slapped on it in balatro art style

[sweet pollen]

real

[sweet pollen]

and its hairy legs 🤤

[uneven laurel]

After hours and hours of doing gold stake runs

I've discovered I'm bad at the game

[cloud sinew]

theres 3

[unreal jolt]

I could've told you that

Your bad at the game robby

[eager summit]

welp

[uneven laurel]

Why didn't you tell me 200 hours ago!

[unreal jolt]

I hadn't started playing 200 hours ago

[sweet pollen]

welp

[uneven laurel]

🥀

[cloud sinew]

you only started playing like 9 days ago!?

[unreal jolt]

Started maybe 10 hours ago (10 hours of playing that is)

[unreal jolt]

Little less

But I'm already cooking on green stake with yellow deck

[sweet pollen]

i got like 60/70 hours beetween mobile version, pirated version and steam version

[uneven laurel]

Blue stake is the sudden difficulty spike

[unreal jolt]

Those who snow

[sweet pollen]

but i started locking in like in the last 10 / 20 hrs of game play

[terse vale]

im picking up good vibr8tions

[unreal jolt]

Nah, the red stake was difficult

Couldn't afford shi

[uneven laurel]

But I've beaten most decks with all stakes now... Gold is taking me a while

[sweet pollen]

sis sevem 🤣

[unreal jolt]

She's giving me expectations

[cloud sinew]

blue stake is definitely top 2 biggest difficulty jumps with purple, red is definitely one of the highest though

[sweet pollen]

you 8

get it?

because

[unreal jolt]

Random old ss

[sweet pollen]

there are a lot of eights

but its also " you ate "

which means

[unreal jolt]

Oh yea that was my first win

[sweet pollen]

"you coooked"

which means

"nice job"

[unreal jolt]

Six seven ate 9

[sweet pollen]

nice joke uh

[uneven laurel]

I'm ngl I never really felt a spike with red, blue was the only major jump for me. And blue is bloody torment

[terse vale]

yeah ok bye square

[unreal jolt]

Blues easy (haven't unlocked it yet)

[sweet pollen]

im losing it

[uneven laurel]

Lol, it's -1 discard

[sweet pollen]

bro

hasnt

[sweet pollen]

skull

[uneven laurel]

He's very new tbf

[sweet pollen]

emoji

[sweet pollen]

yeah ik its a meme

[unreal jolt]

Top 3 things that make no sense among balatro players

1. They think back deck is hard, easy as shi
2. They think plant is difficult
3. 

[unreal jolt]

Ewwww, better hope you get that one voucher early

[sweet pollen]

why you got balatro music only on left ear

[uneven laurel]

My first 50 hours I didn't even try any difficulty but white cause I just liked big number

[sweet pollen]

black deck gotta be top 5 with plasma, anaglyph, yellow and idk

[shell dagger]

I have partial hearing loss in my left ear so i changed the audio balance on my phone

[sweet pollen]

something else

[sweet pollen]

ohhh ok

smart

[cloud sinew]

thats such a good idea

[unreal jolt]

bing BONG

[uneven laurel]

I will never be good enough at this game to accept oblisk I am happily oblisphobic and do not want to change my mind.

[sweet pollen]

not only this game is colorblind-friendly, but partial-hearing-loss too

[unreal jolt]

Too 5 best?

[sweet pollen]

yes, top 5 it means that its one of the best 5 decks

[unreal jolt]

Worst deck is by far the one that gives you the planet voucher

[uneven laurel]

Genuinely, black deck is over hated when nebula exists

[terse vale]

christ

[terse vale]

?

zodiac?

[sweet pollen]

fr

[unreal jolt]

You could've meant top 5 worst, I didn't know

[unreal jolt]

Idk

[sweet pollen]

it would be bottom 5

[unreal jolt]

Abandoned deck is top 2

[uneven laurel]

It's called nebula, and your right

[unreal jolt]

Your mom

[sweet pollen]

idk it seems pretty ass ngl

[terse vale]

yeah zodiac
worst is black but zodiac is not bad in the slightest

[unreal jolt]

Your mom

[unreal jolt]

Black is not hard, you just suck

[sweet pollen]

u forgot about the red seal and hanging chad

[uneven laurel]

Erratic deck on 7LB2WVPK is the best deck.

[unreal jolt]

What about em

[uneven laurel]

Legitimately tho

[unreal jolt]

Haven't unlockd it yet 💔

[sweet pollen]

you did the retrigger thing

[unreal jolt]

Oh

[uneven laurel]

When you do, use seed 7LB2WVPK

[sweet pollen]

i just did

[sweet pollen]

imma try it out rq

[unreal jolt]

Peanits

Hate you people

[cloud sinew]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[smoky merlin]

kaCHOW

[sweet pollen]

nice seed indeed

[unreal jolt]

Oh yea the trick with putting every card in one hand using double tags, then using soectrals to make them all the same card

[unreal jolt]

Ty

[sweet pollen]

what was that??

[cloud sinew]

kachigga

[tidal pawn]

Hey look it's that seed

[cloud sinew]

okay balatro

[unreal jolt]

It was a scam

[sweet pollen]

ohh

[uneven laurel]

Nope, this is the start of the game

[unreal jolt]

Nah

[final viper]

what 😭

[cloud sinew]

that's what he says in the movie, twin.

[unreal jolt]

You don't know chuck hicks?

[sweet pollen]

happened to me yesterday and a few months ago, basically yesterday some1 hacked into my steam account and sent scams to everyone, and a few months ago same thing but in dc

[unreal jolt]

That's not good btw

[cloud sinew]

chick hicks*

[unreal jolt]

Myf

[safe ibex]

objectively untrue

[cloud sinew]

you do just suck, but it's also really hard.

[safe ibex]

your early econ is shot dead and the payoff is only wayyy later

[unreal jolt]

Literally was the 2nd run I beat and was far easier than the first

At the time I didn't know negative cards existed

[safe ibex]

black is best for c++ (excepting maybe anaglyph) but for a regular gold stake run? girl

[shell dagger]

Anecdotal

[cloud sinew]

you've played only won once on black deck and you think it's easy 😭

[sweet pollen]

fr?

[cloud sinew]

it absolutely is not oh my god

[final viper]

i do NOT remember that part

[unreal jolt]

I've won several times on it

[sweet pollen]

whats c++?

[cloud sinew]

black deck struggles SO much to win in the first place, going for stickers on black deck is horrific

[sweet pollen]

coding lanuage?

[cloud sinew]

it's probably one of the WORST

[opal delta]

all jokers have a golden sticker

[safe ibex]

i mean if you CAN win

[unreal jolt]

He does in fact say kachigga

[safe ibex]

i like doing c++ on ghost

[terse vale]

um hm

[safe ibex]

bc i like ghost :D

[terse vale]

I do have rebate bs

[shell dagger]

There are at least 3 people in this server who have been trying to get a black deck only c++ and it’s been months

[terse vale]

for a highscore run sure

[shell dagger]

Definitely not the best deck

[safe ibex]

...why

[terse vale]

especially since i’m copying 8s

[cloud sinew]

yeah but that's not what you should be going for with C++ imo, you should either go for the most consistent decks (blue, yellow, abandoned), or for the most fun decks (preference based)

[safe ibex]

fair

[unreal jolt]

What even are stickers

[safe ibex]

that is why im going for c++ on ghost after all, it is my favorite deck

[unreal jolt]

Spooky

[uneven laurel]

It's the highest difficulty you beaten the game on with that joker

[sweet pollen]

5 eternal polychrome madnesses ahhh

[cloud sinew]

in-run stickers are Eternal, Perishable and Rental.
otherwise, it's the highest stake you've won with it (decks and jokers have stickers)

[unreal jolt]

100 negative plain jokers

[uneven laurel]

Eternal is a buff, prove me wrong

[safe ibex]

anyways yeah black is the most difficult to pull off and quite frankly the benefit is so much worse than the condition

[cloud sinew]

it has benefits, that doesn't make it a buff overall.

[safe ibex]

it does make some value generators impossible to take

[unreal jolt]

Ohhh like the little red stake icon on my yellow deck

[uneven laurel]

This. Is. MADNESS

[safe ibex]

something like an eternal golden joker that youd replace later is no longer a valid pick

[unreal jolt]

Mhmmmm

[uneven laurel]

Smh, just ecto

[cloud sinew]

it absolutely is still a valid pick

[unreal jolt]

Can you still sell eternal jokers?

[cloud sinew]

eternals arent untakeable

[safe ibex]

same goes for like, idk, hallucination
you'd take a rental hallucination in some circumstances but rental eternal? almost never

[uneven laurel]

No that's kinda the whole point lol

[safe ibex]

okay at the very least its much less versatile

you know what im trying to say

[uneven laurel]

If you pick up an eternal, you'll have it the rest of the game

[unreal jolt]

Oh I those gut it just meant they wouldn't be destroyed

[safe ibex]

neverrr said that

[uneven laurel]

Yeah, theirs no way to get rid of an eternal joker once you bought it

[cloud sinew]

you said "is no longer a valid pick"

[safe ibex]

im bad at words

is no longer a valid pick IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES

is what i should have said

[unreal jolt]

So then the jokers that gain stuff from destroying other jokers become useless

[uneven laurel]

So an eternal egg nearly has no benefits for example

[unreal jolt]

Eternal egg is peak

[safe ibex]

absolutely not

temperance value goes through the roof

you dont usually sell egg anyways

[unreal jolt]

There's that one joker that gains mult for sell value of other jokers

[uneven laurel]

My guy the word nearly is in italics right their

[cloud sinew]

eternal egg is one of the few that is memed but even without swash is usually fine

[unreal jolt]

????

[cloud sinew]

you usually keep egg around until something better than a temperance value generator comes along, or you need the money

[safe ibex]

it makes temperance really really good, selling it tends to be a bad idea

[uneven laurel]

You don't have to disagree with everything 😭😭

[unreal jolt]

Rahhhh you can't make me sell shit

[unreal jolt]

What's that do

[unreal jolt]

Yes I do

[cloud sinew]

gives you $ equal to the sell value of your jokers

[unreal jolt]

Oh I just use that as a worse money double tarot card

[thin cedar]

Hi i got to gold stake for blue deck and I was wondering is there a way to do a easier reroll initially for a good start?

[safe ibex]

im very bad at words, im trying to say that eternal makes some jokers not be a good idea when theyd be a good idea without the sticker

[zinc zephyr]

never take skip tag mfs when

[uneven laurel]

Gift card is significantly better than egg. Fight me.

[safe ibex]

mostly value generators

[terse vale]

fuck yesssssssss

hello ecto

[cloud sinew]

cherry picking be damned

[safe ibex]

the ~1/20 chance in question:

[uneven laurel]

Woah talisman looking really peak on that 3 of spades

[zinc zephyr]

Now I shall screw this run over

[cloud sinew]

also notice how it's not perishable 😭

[safe ibex]

or rental!

[uneven laurel]

Brainstorm in the rare tag

[unreal jolt]

Only time I ever skip blinds is when it gives a negative joker which rarely happens

[zinc zephyr]

perishable stuntman 💔

[safe ibex]

negative tag is kind of not great tbh

[unreal jolt]

Literally never gotten a brainstorm

[uneven laurel]

If your new you might of not unlocked him

You need to discard a royal flush

[unreal jolt]

It's the only consistently good one no?

[safe ibex]

negative tag is inherently inconsistent

[unreal jolt]

Oh fs I havent

[tepid lichen]

no its really not that good on gold stake

[safe ibex]

youre more likely to get a bad, perishable, rental common than anything good
its better to see a shop

[unreal jolt]

You grab it and just get a free joker that benefits, and if it harms your hand you sell it and move on

[uneven laurel]

Anaglyph my beloved!n

[safe ibex]

you also lose seeing a shop

[tepid lichen]

yeah but you skipped a whole round for nothing then, thats really bad for scaling and econ

[uneven laurel]

I like rare tag skip on the very first blind tbh.

[tepid lichen]

investment tag on top

[uneven laurel]

Just cause it's more fun to set out your run that way

[brave goblet]

Until it's perishable rental dna

[unreal jolt]

Have t unlocked it

[terse vale]

I think I drop cav for chad

[tepid lichen]

oh well if ur on the lower stakes its not that bad

[unreal jolt]

So when would y'all recommend skipping

[terse vale]

cus as it stands i’m not getting e11 or above

[tepid lichen]

not good still but not awful

[unreal jolt]

I'm on on green stake

[safe ibex]

ante 1 investment is almost always a snap pick

[uneven laurel]

Rarely.

[unreal jolt]

A what pick

[terse vale]

and I have money to reroll into another Xmult

[cloud sinew]

~10% of the time then

[safe ibex]

rare tag ante 1 can be fun but it usually requires a restart bc youre likely going to get a bad joker

[safe ibex]

instant

[zinc zephyr]

every negative when you're def winning gold stake to get gold sticker on them !!

[unreal jolt]

Robby you know your bad at the game

[safe ibex]

this too!!

[uneven laurel]

Rofl. You haven't unlocked brainstorm yet

[safe ibex]

anyways generally skipping is bad

[unreal jolt]

Yes but usually I don't even get a single negative tag

[zinc zephyr]

Wouldn't recommend on yellow/green deck I'll be so fr

[unreal jolt]

Wow haven't heard rofl in a minute

[cosmic sun]

here winneth

[tepid lichen]

ante 1/2 investment tag is good, also skipping as a hail mary is fine

[uneven laurel]

I'm an old soul (...23)

[cloud sinew]

at gold stake you only want to be skipping like ~1.5 times a game on average, but i skip less than that typically which i know is suboptimal

[unreal jolt]

Dude I love ocean sunfish

[unreal jolt]

Unc

[cosmic sun]

THE GOATS

sunfish are so cool

[unreal jolt]

They're so cool looking, my fishing goal is to catch one

[terse vale]

with glass it could work

[unreal jolt]

Only ever caught freshwater sunfish so far

[cloud sinew]

thunk should add sunfish to balatro

they are so big and stupid i love them

[unreal jolt]

Fish jokrr

[tepid lichen]

insert sunfish copypasta

[cloud sinew]

(dont actually)

[unreal jolt]

Fish joker, destroys one random card from your deck every round but adds it's abilities to all future hands (legendary joker)

[cloud sinew]

this seems very underwhelming for a legendary joker

[cosmic sun]

misinformation

[unreal jolt]

How so??? If it destroys a glass it makes every hand you play have double multz even if it destroys a regular card you get the chips from it

[cosmic sun]

that reddit rant legit ruined the reputation of sunfish for a while

[sullen aspen]

sunfish recognition❤️❤️❤️

[safe ibex]

yeah thats fair

context matters in everything!

[cloud sinew]

if it destroys a glass. it destroys a random card in deck, so you have no control over what gets destroyed, and it relies on that card actually being enhanced

[cloud sinew]

and +5.5 chips a round on average doesnt sound like a legendary joker

[unreal jolt]

So just use DNA to get more enhanced cards, but a bunch of enhanced ones and use toarota to enhance your deck

[tranquil steppe]

What about a whale shark? Or blue whale? Or a siphonophore?

[sage zodiac]

should I take the second baron and hope for blueprint to show up?

[cloud sinew]

that's a very specific setup youre talking about

[unreal jolt]

I think it's a pretty strong joker

[cloud sinew]

not outside of endless

and the game is balanced around ante 8 first

[unreal jolt]

I mean it gives Garunteed chips every round, could have 2x mult which would grow if it destroys multiple glass cards, can get +mult from mult cards, and if the cards are polychrome or foul then even more mult and chips

[wintry ice]

fish joker

gains +10 chips for each leftover discard, self-destructs if you don't have splash

[cloud sinew]

again, +5.5 chips every round (on average) is weaker than 2 hands with square joker

[tepid lichen]

terrible gold stake, only good for endless runs and ig if its bp/bs compatible thatd make it somewhat good

[elfin dragon]

Beat my first gold run after 4 attempts

[unreal jolt]

Y'all just hating to hate atp

[wintry ice]

i mean this is the exact problem with it

[tranquil steppe]

Ayyyy congrats!!!!

[wintry ice]

it's too speculative

[unreal jolt]

What

[wintry ice]

your justifications for taking it are what-if scenarios

[tranquil steppe]

What if photochad

[unreal jolt]

Just build a strong deck which you should be doing anyway

[cloud sinew]

I responded with a completely valid criticism. you responding this way makes it seem like you don't have any arguments

[unreal jolt]

What's that do again

[tranquil steppe]

Free wins

[wintry ice]

and if i can build a strong deck without it, what does it give me?

[unreal jolt]

Because I've said my piece, not really much else to add

[unreal jolt]

Then don't buy it?

[terse vale]

k nice

[tranquil steppe]

Oh are you arguing with them?

[wintry ice]

that's exactly the point

[tepid lichen]

u made it a legendary u forgot

[tranquil steppe]

Don’t do it @unreal jolt

[cloud sinew]

how is +5.5 chips a round, on average, a good chip generator? like i said before, that's worse than 2 hands with square

[unreal jolt]

So

[terse vale]

what R we talking about

[tepid lichen]

theres no not buying it

its soul

[cloud sinew]

you don't buy legendaries

[unreal jolt]

Foil cards and those other cards that give +30 chips

[unreal jolt]

Oh you don't?

[cloud sinew]

which is incredibly unlikely

[unreal jolt]

That explains why I've only ever gotten the one from a tarot card

[tranquil steppe]

You kinda do. You have to buy a pack that has them in it

[wintry ice]

this effect works for a rare because any sort of deck thinning is good

[unreal jolt]

That's on me I figured you could buy them it was just rare

[wintry ice]

it doesn't work as well for a legendary because it doesn't have the commitment, power or theming necessary for it to be one

[cloud sinew]

you bought a pack that contains Soul, you didn't buy Soul, otherwise opening a pack would count every card in a pack as being a separate purchase

[hardy fable]

[sage zodiac]

An unfortunate negative for my run

[tranquil steppe]

Yea exactly. In a roundabout way you’re buying the legendary

Just like you’re still buying a joker via judgement

[wintry ice]

does rolling foil with wheel mean i bought a foil joker 🤔

[hardy fable]

wheel doesn't do anything

[wintry ice]

or if i were to get splash from riff raff

[tranquil steppe]

Wheel is a troll

[deep fossil]

Ewwwww superposition

[cloud sinew]

wheel is surprisingly very good

[cloud sinew]

what the hell

[wintry ice]

like why would i indirectly buy a splash 🤔

[cloud sinew]

why do you have showman

[deep fossil]

Disgusting

[cloud sinew]

an eternal showman

[deep fossil]

Cus I do

[tranquil steppe]

Perhaps top 3 arsest joker in the game

[deep fossil]

Top 1

[cloud sinew]

for sure (showman)

[wintry ice]

i mean the run is doomed so what difference does this make

[hardy fable]

or buy a triboulet while I have ride the bus🤔

[fierce tiger]

love messing with the shop

[unreal jolt]

Best joker in the game, 2nd only to 8ball

[deep fossil]

I will boil you

[cloud sinew]

free jokers should have 0 sell value

[unreal jolt]

In oil?

[tranquil steppe]

Next you’ll say sixth sense is a top 5 joker

[unreal jolt]

No absolutely not

It's top 3

[fierce tiger]

🇺🇸

[deep fossil]

In water

[unreal jolt]

Dude didnt get the boiled in oil reference

[unreal jolt]

Distilled?

[deep fossil]

No just water

[fierce tiger]

without discards

[deep fossil]

Regular water

[unreal jolt]

So tap? Or bottled?

[tranquil steppe]

Carbonated?

[unreal jolt]

Purified by what? Reverse osmosis?

[deep fossil]

Water from jugs I bought at Walmart

[unreal jolt]

So bottled water purified by reverse osmosis right?

[deep fossil]

It’s not bottled it’s from a jug

[unreal jolt]

Do you have anything more eco friendly?

[tranquil steppe]

Ayyyyy Wally World

[deep fossil]

What

[tranquil steppe]

I get my water free from the toilet

[deep fossil]

That’s not free

[unreal jolt]

Oh I get the reference

[fringe crest]

woof

[tranquil steppe]

It is in public

Just scoop it out

[terse vale]

cmonnn big moneyyy

[unreal jolt]

Is a jug not a form of bottle?

[deep fossil]

Jug is a jug

Not a bottle

Jug is its own thing

[fierce tiger]

holy 8 ball synergy

[unreal jolt]

All jugs are bottles but not all bottles are jugs

[tranquil steppe]

Omg double Yorick?!?!?!?

[deep fossil]

No a jug ain’t no bottle

[unborn cliff]

oh my god man

[fringe crest]

eww

[cloud sinew]

OBELIIIIIISK

[terse vale]

I Got e11

[unborn cliff]

shop 1 obelisk is lowk scary

i want econ

[unreal jolt]

I got a cavendihh with polychrome

[unborn cliff]

[fringe crest]

you get your money back from the pack atleast

or gift card

[unborn cliff]

goat card

[fringe crest]

gift card is one of my top like twenty jokers

[cloud sinew]

uhhhhh

[pale wolf]

it should be top 2

[cloud sinew]

its definitely not top 20 for me

it's like... top 50 😭

[safe ibex]

gift card is worth taking but its not THAT good

[unreal jolt]

The one that gives you -20 worth of debt? That's gotta be a top 5, with 8 ball, sixth sense, superposition, and madness

[pale wolf]

I still don't understand what the theming of it is, gift cards do not appreciate in value

[safe ibex]

it is very very good though

[safe ibex]

credit card is bottom 150

[fringe crest]

lusty joker number one

[safe ibex]

oh this is a joke

[unreal jolt]

No?

[fringe crest]

thats credit card

[unreal jolt]

Same thing

[fringe crest]

no

not even close

[safe ibex]

okay hold on
sixth sense is okay
8 ball is very very good
superposition can work
and madness runs are really really fun

[cloud sinew]

i don't get it either. it seems like a "throwback" situation where the effect based on the theme wasn't great so it was reworked entirely but didn't stick with the theming.

[safe ibex]

credit card is really bad though

[unreal jolt]

It was all satire, every one of those jokers are absolutely awful

[pale wolf]

Credit card is not a build Joker

[fringe crest]

gift card gives each joker $one dollar of sell value at the end of a round

bro

why does it do that

[safe ibex]

the only one thats absolutely awful is credit card

[fringe crest]

1

[cloud sinew]

and held consumables

[unborn cliff]

vagabond 🐴

[fringe crest]

yeah that too

[safe ibex]

the rest are quite frankly quite good

[unreal jolt]

Expect madness, only used it once because I figured it had to be useful if it was in the game but it just wasnt

[hardy fable]

temp value

[pale wolf]

yeah if you can't add 🦓

[cloud sinew]

consumables getting sell value is the most underutilised part of gift card

[fringe crest]

vagabond is so good

[safe ibex]

superposition goes nutty on abandoned deck

[unreal jolt]

No

[safe ibex]

yes

[unreal jolt]

No

[fringe crest]

fav carrot genarator

[hardy fable]

carrot

[fringe crest]

mmm carrot

[unreal jolt]

Quit horsein around

[pale wolf]

I wish there was a Joker that duplicated one consumable an ante

[hardy fable]

normal coming from a horse

[tepid lichen]

bro hasnt reached black stake yet

[tranquil steppe]

Bunnies

[cloud sinew]

credit card is fine because it costs $1, so taking it as a non-eternal is net neutral

[unreal jolt]

There's a black stake?

[safe ibex]

8 ball is incredible with the right setup i will not take 8 ball slander

[tepid lichen]

doesn't even know about madness being good

its unironically very good

[cloud sinew]

it's the 4th one

[safe ibex]

sixth sense is often the only way to get an ecto in high score runs

[unreal jolt]

8 ball is doo doo cheeks

[fringe crest]

credit card shines so bright in the one challenge thats like each 5 bucks is -1 hand size

[safe ibex]

madness is SO good

[tranquil steppe]

You’re making sense

[unreal jolt]

I thought it went red green blue gold

[safe ibex]

lmao

[cloud sinew]

no

[pale wolf]

why

[cloud sinew]

i mean it does, but you missed some in-between

[unreal jolt]

Pink

[cloud sinew]

white -> red -> green -> black -> blue -> purple -> orange -> gold

[tranquil steppe]

I beat pink stake once

[pale wolf]

And the secret last one

[unreal jolt]

There's that many???

[tranquil steppe]

Unlocked the 151st joker

[unreal jolt]

Steak stake

[cloud sinew]

white stake doesnt really count as it doesn't have an effect

[tranquil steppe]

||it was Mew||

[fringe crest]

forgetting about steak stake

[unreal jolt]

Ball knowledge

[pale wolf]

what is a stake, you still have to beat it after all

[stark karma]

Has anyone ever completed a file in hardcore mode?

[fringe crest]

red stake pisses me off so much

[unreal jolt]

Same

[cloud sinew]

that isn't a thing so no

[pale wolf]

C++ without losing was done by doc

[tepid lichen]

what

[fringe crest]

dr disrespect did no?

[stark karma]

As in completed a save file without dying

[fringe crest]

or whoever

his name is

dr uhh

[tepid lichen]

LMAO

[safe ibex]

8 ball is so stupidly good if you get it early

[unreal jolt]

Red stake is like playing poker but the dealer shoots you in foot with a Remington every ante

[fringe crest]

yo i forgot his name

[safe ibex]

oh you poor poor soul

[unreal jolt]

No it's not

[sullen aspen]

dr disrespect 😭😭😭😭

[fringe crest]

leave me alone

[safe ibex]

that's gold stake
