[inner stratus]

booooooo

[patent sail]

Its fun hence its good

[torpid bridge]

Have yall ever gambled with your life on the line

[patent sail]

We all love gambling

[cloud sinew]

that logic doesnt follow

[inner stratus]

LOL fair

[marsh swan]

While playing gold stake on black deck

[patent sail]

Have you ever taken negative tag with your run on the line

[inner stratus]

whats next, alcohol is bad?? yeah. ok. /j

[cloud sinew]

yes

[patent sail]

🤓

[torpid bridge]

I do it when i enter flow state

[fringe nebula]

wait hol on

[patent sail]

I dont need any flow states to gamble them tags

[cloud sinew]

me when i have no argument

[inner stratus]

literally u could get negative blueprint think of the upside

[torpid bridge]

I need it

[patent sail]

My argument gambling is fun

[torpid bridge]

Gamble is my life

[wary zodiac]

maaaan

[fringe nebula]

revised

[patent sail]

TRUTH

[cloud sinew]

which is fine, but fun ≠ good

[lyric wave]

checkered belongs in S-tier

[patent sail]

Fun=good everybody knows that

[true cliff]

PLASMAS IN MEH?!?!

[wary zodiac]

falls off badly in the higher stakes

[lyric wave]

plasma is a very meh deck

[inner stratus]

my beloved ghost deck.......... 😢

[cloud sinew]

its good to kill people if its fun /strawman

[patent sail]

Cool in concept but hard

[true cliff]

Think about the stuntmen builds though

[patent sail]

I agree????

[lyric wave]

think about playing a good deck though, like checkered for example

[vagrant wagon]

What do i take or should I just keep going

[inner stratus]

i think plasma is a great deck just because of how easy chips can be to play with

one arrowhead and u like win a whole run

[cloud sinew]

plasma is the 2nd hardest deck to consistently beat gold stake with

[torpid bridge]

I hate plasma cuz my math isnt mathing

[cloud sinew]

not at gold stake

[true cliff]

Checkered is best for flush builds and plasma is best for early game.

[lyric wave]

you need 1k material at 4 hands per round to win gold stake plasma

[torpid bridge]

Castle on checkered is kinda goated

[patent sail]

Castle on anything

[lyric wave]

that's the equivalent of 4 arrowheads, for context

[fringe nebula]

wrong

[cloud sinew]

even more if its vessel

[patent sail]

We ALL love castling it up

[true cliff]

Blue print. Brainstorm. Showman.

[lyric wave]

if it's vv just say good night

[marsh swan]

Yeah plasma is fun sometimes

[inner stratus]

lol

[inner stratus]

ok

[lyric wave]

ah yes give me three specific rare and uncommon jokers just to win a game

[cloud sinew]

two specific rares, also showman is not going to give you what you need lol

[fringe nebula]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1211696162407452702/1339288226522857473/Screenshot_20250213_001159.jpg?ex=698d661b&is=698c149b&hm=000f7fb0e96645a9b046259704824d01affa747fdcb16175562ac08cf88cebf1 I got reminded of this dumb win i have

[vagrant wagon]

Should I play that?

[inner stratus]

plasma changes the way u play and is fun. thats more what i care about when judging something in a game

[true cliff]

Get every rare tag and I guess just pray to localthunk

[lyric wave]

a specific uncommon joker is rarer than a specific rare

[inner stratus]

blue deck might be optimal in a lot of cases but its just boring to me :/

[torpid bridge]

[cloud sinew]

you should make it clear youre talking about fun and not strength when making a tierlist

[torpid bridge]

[true cliff]

Also every uncommon tag I guess.

[fringe nebula]

plasma is indeed is a meh deck

it's not a really fun deck to play

[lyric wave]

me when I die because my throwback is giving 4x mult

[dusty void]

[true cliff]

Me when the castle is the second best joker for plasma

[dusty void]

Oh yeah which tags though

[fringe nebula]

[dusty void]

Okay

[cloud sinew]

you did not make it clear this was about fun rather than strength

[true cliff]

I have eyes.

[dusty void]

Thanks big dawg

[torpid bridge]

What is dawg

Dawg

[lyric wave]

dog

[patent sail]

Typa shit someone with eyes would say

[true cliff]

You see them because I see you have eyes

[inner stratus]

none of my arguments were about how optimal things were? im sorry u got that impression but u should probably ask next time instead of insulting me as ur go to

ill be more clear next time

[rose wolf]

[cloud sinew]

casual sexism is cringe

[rose wolf]

[ebon maple]

[rose wolf]

odd todd my goat

[vestal copper]

this is probably the future of the society

[inner stratus]

[vestal copper]

[fringe nebula]

[wary zodiac]

[cloud sinew]

[vestal copper]

[patent sail]

Picture taken by Satellite

[torpid bridge]

Did yall read green yuri

[rose wolf]

[vestal copper]

surveillance from the space 😭

[rose wolf]

[true cliff]

[cloud sinew]

[cloud sinew]

whats wrong with it

[vestal copper]

this is madness

[patent sail]

Triboulet and the plant toxic yuri

[rose wolf]

WHAT IS THIS SEEX

[torpid bridge]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guy_She_Was_Interested_in_Wasn't_a_Guy_at_All

[vestal copper]

seex

[true cliff]

This is a game with genderless jokers aside from baron and shoot the moon.

[torpid bridge]

Im refering to this manga

[fringe nebula]

read hologram's description

you will know why

[cloud sinew]

and?

[inner stratus]

unfortunate or blessed typo what are we saying chat

[torpid bridge]

Its quite cool if u are into yuri id recommend it

[patent sail]

Would do that if i cpuld draw more than 1 character at a time

[vagrant wagon]

Oh thats why 🤯

Ok

[cloud sinew]

if they dont have gender then theyre not men, so its yuri which is nmlnm

yes i know

[patent sail]

Add satellite in there

[fringe nebula]

wow i'm just witnessing a balatro player reading

[inner stratus]

we should revert to communicating in easily decypherable pictures

[patent sail]

Known as letters?

[vagrant wagon]

What do I take here

[fringe nebula]

open buffoon pack

[cloud sinew]

those would take a while to reach people. normally youd use email nowadays

[inner stratus]

imagine like letters but they were images and you could look at them to learn information

[vestal copper]

carve rocks as letters and throw them at ppl

[cloud sinew]

RED CARD

[vestal copper]

red

[patent sail]

Lilo making a joke in the big 26

[fringe nebula]

red card no brainer

[cloud sinew]

I do it all the time

[rose wolf]

foil hologram is peak

[lyric wave]

honestly both of those jokers are bangers but red card is better here

[cloud sinew]

Erosion would be horrible here

DNA Hologram

[inner stratus]

wait is red card good??

[fringe nebula]

yes

it is

like

[cloud sinew]

best +mult scaler

[fringe nebula]

+6 mult per round

[inner stratus]

what the hell

what if u want the things in the pack

[lyric wave]

you don't

[torpid bridge]

Take it

[lyric wave]

you want the +3 mult

[fringe nebula]

you don't

[inner stratus]

i have been a red hater forever wwow

this is mind blowing

[vestal copper]

mult greed

[crimson carbon]

yes

[torpid bridge]

I mean if its 20 gomd

[cloud sinew]

if its better than +3 mult, sure

[torpid bridge]

Or 50 gold

I would still take it

[fringe nebula]

my favorite combo is red card midas mask

[torpid bridge]

Or a purple or blue seal

[inner stratus]

like +4 mult perhaps..... hmmm

[true cliff]

Actually if you get removing jokers like playing card then erosion could be good but red card is better because you can't be sure you will get those jokers.

[patent sail]

Mult cards are mid

[inner stratus]

/j

[vestal copper]

empress is not better

[rose wolf]

what's the best scaling xmult joker

[vagrant wagon]

Should I take something else to

[vestal copper]

yorick prob

[fringe nebula]

yorick or canio

[rose wolf]

yeah i agree

[cloud sinew]

yorick

[patent sail]

Flower pot

Gains 0 mult per nothing

[rose wolf]

i fucking love yorick 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[vagrant wagon]

Never played with him 😅

[cloud sinew]

madness scaling without the downside

[rose wolf]

i once got yorick to like 12x mult

[true cliff]

Yorick + wasteful + recyclomancy + drunkard = perfection

[fringe nebula]

[patent sail]

Andyyy

[vestal copper]

mandy yorick blueprint bstorm

[inner stratus]

andy is literally merry isnt that awesome

[cloud sinew]

Im like jimbo if he was a girl

[vagrant wagon]

[vestal copper]

[fringe nebula]

[vestal copper]

interest farming

[rose wolf]

[vagrant wagon]

So only the arcana packs

[patent sail]

Im flower pot if it was a gay ass person and liked catgirls and stuff

[inner stratus]

[patent sail]

No

[inner stratus]

[patent sail]

Thats the poiny

[torpid bridge]

I dont know if im aromantic or not

[patent sail]

My headcannon for it is that i wanna break it with the new hammer joker that gains xmult per pot destroyed

[torpid bridge]

Pretty much i am

.-.

[vagrant wagon]

🤔

[torpid bridge]

Hologram is ugly

[vestal copper]

get the st pack and skip it ig

[inner stratus]

i mean yeah i think i used it once and it never activated

[fringe nebula]

open and skip

[torpid bridge]

It hit the jackpot

Its 5555

[inner stratus]

they hit the juckport

[patent sail]

I had a run with it once only cuz it and splash were the first 2 jokers i got

[vagrant wagon]

True he did

[inner stratus]

i tried to send the juckport gif and it got blocked what

[torpid bridge]

I took it when i think i could consistently play it

[inner stratus]

this is so sad

[vagrant wagon]

Should I get the spectral pack also

[torpid bridge]

Yes

You are rich

[patent sail]

Spectral packs are insta open for me

[patent sail]

Ourple

Seal it

[torpid bridge]

Anking 2 holograms

[inner stratus]

did it win? first ever win with flower pot maybe?

[lyric wave]

medium is worth here

[torpid bridge]

🤓

[inner stratus]

possibly only flower pot win?

[patent sail]

It did 😔

[inner stratus]

omg

[patent sail]

1.3m points

[vagrant wagon]

On which card the medium

[torpid bridge]

Number cards

Cuz plant exists

[vagrant wagon]

But which of them

[torpid bridge]

Choose the suit that has appeared

[vestal copper]

beating the game with flot is harder than c++ deathless

[inner stratus]

what is c++ btw

completion?

[vestal copper]

all gold stickers on all cards

[lyric wave]

gold stickering every single joker

[patent sail]

Programmi g language

[inner stratus]

oh ok

[torpid bridge]

Flot

[inner stratus]

ohh thank u

[rose wolf]

going for c++ deathless doesn't even sound fun

[torpid bridge]

How are u guys so creative with abbreviation

[vestal copper]

unless you are drspectred yeah

[torpid bridge]

Next time what we are gonna have

[vestal copper]

hgram

[patent sail]

F (short for flower pot)

[rose wolf]

ok yeah true, drspectred could do it

[vestal copper]

ham

[vestal copper]

he did

[rose wolf]

not surprised

[vestal copper]

he is just an eldricth entity of unknown origin so its fine

[vagrant wagon]

What is this shop

[patent sail]

Wasnt that just c+ or something

[vestal copper]

huh?

[patent sail]

I thought that was just decks

[vestal copper]

qell thats a bit more free hen

[patent sail]

Idk im not sure

Check maybe

[vestal copper]

cant rn

[rose wolf]

wasn't drspectred a playtester for balatro AND a college professor

[patent sail]

I may be making things up in my memory

[vestal copper]

yep

phd in maths

[rose wolf]

not surprised

[lyric wave]

explains why he's good at balatro

[vestal copper]

bro is the highest tier of tryhard

[patent sail]

Balatro players dont math why is he playing

[torpid bridge]

My wet dream

I want to get a phd in comp sci

😔

[inner stratus]

imagine u go to class and ur professor is a youtuber u like genuinely how do u deal with that

[torpid bridge]

They probably dont care

[inner stratus]

i would care it would be so hard to pay attention

[torpid bridge]

At most i will just discuss about him then move on

Unless im specifically close to him

[vagrant wagon]

Do i take photo

[vestal copper]

being studied by spectred would be so insane

[torpid bridge]

No

[vestal copper]

hit that photochad :clueless:

[torpid bridge]

Photo is just +mult

In this case

[vagrant wagon]

Huh

[torpid bridge]

Taking the halu then opening packs is not bad

[torpid bridge]

Photo is scoring on card

If your hand is low level

Its just equal to a plus mult

Like

[vagrant wagon]

I oppened the the packs already so halu doesn’t do anything for me now

[torpid bridge]

Base xmult is 4, with photo its 8

[torpid bridge]

Thats unlucky

[fringe nebula]

photo is good ONLY when you have high planet levels

in this case, you skipped literally everything to upgrade your red card

[vagrant wagon]

Ok

Packs and skip?

[fringe nebula]

take free roll

and hieophant maybe

[unreal topaz]

i'm already attentive during his vids, surely its not that hard

[vestal copper]

you need to play by yourself ngl

[unreal topaz]

i could see nerves being a thing

[vestal copper]

you wont learn if you just blindly follow what the chat says

[fringe nebula]

skip the packs

[fringe nebula]

i agree

[vagrant wagon]

Ik that

[inner stratus]

omg i love ur pfp

[unreal topaz]

yeah, clearly you need to study the balatro university in depth analysis

[unreal topaz]

ty :) artist is hhonchkrow on twitter

[inner stratus]

:D

anyway hearing him in a serious context would be difficult for me

[unreal topaz]

idk, balatro is pretty serious business

[inner stratus]

although classes in general are difficult for me so idk

[vagrant wagon]

I also play without needing help from you guys but right now i just Like to get my missing jokers that i need to unlock so I ask

[vestal copper]

well

[inner stratus]

ur right im sorry i think i need to make more spreadsheets

thats what my runs are missing

i need more excel in my runs

[unreal topaz]

you gotta make a new gold stake ante 8 only profile

and track stats there

i would reccomend this, it's interesting to see the results

[fringe nebula]

well, you could try to understand why chat tells you to do this or do that

[inner stratus]

i would love to throw hundreds of hours of my life into this bit just for the continuity but i think im too weak for that

[unreal topaz]

in theory

[inner stratus]

my balatro career is probably going to end after getting naneinf

[fringe nebula]

not even fourth c++?

[unreal topaz]

mine only accelerated after that

[unreal topaz]

real

[inner stratus]

no im running out of steam

[rose wolf]

i'm unsure whether i prefer perkeo or yorick honestly, i think perkeo is better but tbh i feel like i have more fun with yorick than i do with perkeo

[inner stratus]

im enjoying a lot of other games more like wizard of legend

[fringe nebula]

perkeo is patience game of waiting for the correct things to copy

[rose wolf]

true

[fringe nebula]

if we're talking about 8 ante gameplay

[lyric wave]

yorick is significantly better for beating the ante 8 boss

[inner stratus]

the only game i ever realllyyy got into was bloons and i think thatll happen with balatro

[rose wolf]

true

i usually see perkeo in naneinf runs lol

[lyric wave]

that's cause perkeo is probably the easiest joker to naneinf with :p

[rose wolf]

true

[unreal topaz]

oh which bloons?

[fringe nebula]

maybe death copying red seal glass would be better than yorick but that's a very small possibility

[inner stratus]

6

[unreal topaz]

i got very into btd battles

[vestal copper]

my

[inner stratus]

during my first year of uni i played it ALL the time

[vestal copper]

i have btd6 but i dont rlly like the game 😭

[lyric wave]

what're the chances you hit both red seal and perkeo in the same run

[inner stratus]

i ended up getting every medal on every non expert map

i did 6 of the experts

[fringe nebula]

and getting death in consumable slot*

[inner stratus]

but the others were too hard for me

[torpid bridge]

I played bloon when i was in middle school ig

[unreal topaz]

getting a red seal is the same chance as getting a blue seal more or less, happens often enough if you look

[rose wolf]

i actually got perkeo and yorick in the same run once lol, the perkeo ended up doing nothing though so i sold it for verdant leaf (i forgot to save the seed sorry 😔)

[inner stratus]

i do plan on finishing them but i got worn out with it

[unreal topaz]

perkeo can also copy temperance

if you find it

that's kinda fun

[lyric wave]

the difference is that your blue seal 3 of clubs will almost always do more than your red seal 3 of clubs, where the red seal is barely worth taking and the blue seal is game defining

[rose wolf]

that's true, i used perkeo for that before iirc

[unreal topaz]

ofc

[inner stratus]

one day ill find perkeo unseeded in a good naneinf run and probably throw it away but it will be cool

[lyric wave]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fringe nebula]

i find burger serpent easier than perkolator honestly

[inner stratus]

uhmm who is that

[unreal topaz]

same, it's more complex but more consistent

i prefer bean bug for ante 39 over perkeo

i still havent gotten perkeo ante 39 and have gotten bean and chicot bug a39s

[inner stratus]

im learning so many new word combos

[rose wolf]

what's burger serpent

[fringe nebula]

burglar serpent

[rose wolf]

oh ok

[rose wolf]

i'm ngl i don't like trib that much, i don't think it's a bad joker but i feel like it's not as good as some of the other legendaries (it's still better than chicot though)

[unreal topaz]

ik it comes from mime

[torpid bridge]

Silent

[inner stratus]

cavendish is my goat

[rose wolf]

congrats!

[torpid bridge]

Flash

[vestal copper]

xmult god 😭

[inner stratus]

thats a really good build

[lyric wave]

lol black deck btw

[inner stratus]

drivers licsence and cavendish is awesome

[rocky tiger]

lol fr

[calm furnace]

the one time the piece of shit square joker would have been useful it doesn't show up

[fringe nebula]

writing the whole name ain't the way

we call flash card jj for a reason

[calm furnace]

jj is cuter than flash

[rocky tiger]

woah

thats a lot of mult

[vestal copper]

jojo

[lyric wave]

I got an ante 2 gift card, a nat negative halvsies, and just an obscene amount of temperances

I didn't even get the reroll voucher until ante 7

[rocky tiger]

yo thats so funny because i also got a gift card in that run

i had gift card and egg for a bit, got double investment and 3 temperances

[calm furnace]

also burger gaming is so boring

auto battler balatro

[fringe nebula]

i can see that

[calm furnace]

the only way to fix balatro is to make high card and pair reduce your score

and mercury and pluto scale in -

-15 chips - 1 mult for mercury

duo should cut your score by half

[rose wolf]

my first gold stake win had yorick, half joker, negative golden joker, polychrome odd todd, brainstorm copying the yorick, and card sharp it was AWESOME (i just felt like sharing this because it was fun to remember it)

[fringe nebula]

and then three oak is the new meta

[calm furnace]

as god intended

[vestal copper]

three 🌳

[rocky tiger]

what deck should I gold stake next (done zodiac ghost and black, im orange stake on green deck but its pissing me off)

[fringe nebula]

magic deck

magic deck is fun

and 3 consumable slots is good

[rose wolf]

this was on checkered deck and iirc it was a pair build

(talking about the run i just mentioned)

[vagrant wagon]

Good run

[rose wolf]

what jokers did you have

[lyric wave]

chad, smiley face, red card, two other things

[rose wolf]

nice

[fringe nebula]

is onyx agate unlocked

club one

[rocky tiger]

that is true but i cant seem to do well on it i think im on black stake

[fringe nebula]

you start with 2 fools, what will you copy so you have a jumpstart in the game?

[inner stratus]

im a big fan of ghost deck

[rocky tiger]

ghost was so ass bro 🥀 more painful to gold stake than black deck

[inner stratus]

:(

[wraith iris]

I feel like balatro could use some transforming jokers, this is my first attempt at it.
Some details:
Cost is $7, Phoenix Egg does not appear in the shop/packs/etc, Phoenix cannot spawn Eternal, editions are preserved through transformation

[rocky tiger]

hex just rly isnt strong icl only saving grace was the spectral cards in the shop

[inner stratus]

try plasma !!

[rocky tiger]

dude i cant even beat white stake plasma my brain doesnt brain on plasma

[inner stratus]

yeah thats like the whole point. normally the hex is just 2 dolar

[inner stratus]

just spam chips its great

[rose wolf]

i love plasma, it's probably my favorite deck lol

[wraith iris]

for low stakes just stick with chips, for high stakes... you can learn to play properly, or just stick with chips, like i did

[rocky tiger]

ty for the advice

i think ima probably do yellow deck i reckon thats probably gonna be easy

[inner stratus]

yellow deck is so awesome

[rocky tiger]

i have no idea how hard any of the decks are supposed to be for gold stake i just do what i find interesting

[inner stratus]

big yellow deck fan

[tawdry burrow]

woah high card

[rocky tiger]

level 36 lol

[tawdry burrow]

no Perkeo too

[wraith iris]

very nice, but i bet you can hit 50

[tawdry burrow]

maybe with a Perkeo or Blueprint

[wraith iris]

i havent yet, but i've gotten very close

no perkeo

[calm furnace]

what

[wraith iris]

i might have had blueprint, i dont remember

[tawdry burrow]

blueprinted burnt joker might get me there

[calm furnace]

how is ghost even hard

its one of the easiest decks in the game

[rocky tiger]

i disagree

[tawdry rock]

i love balatro

[inner stratus]

what about it did u not like?

[rocky tiger]

feel like it falls off hard after ante 1 and 2

[calm furnace]

its the only deck other than yellow that gives you interest on your first shop

[rocky tiger]

maybe im just dumb i never sell the hex

[inner stratus]

really?? huh

[calm furnace]

and its the deck with the easiest access to the strongest mechanic in the game: blue seals

[inner stratus]

i never get that

[vagrant wagon]

Yes i got 40 Clubs or so

[inner stratus]

its easier to get seals and immolate and whatnot

[calm furnace]

and the hex itself can turn any econ or utility joker into something that lets you clear the first 2 antes without breaking a sweat

[tawdry burrow]

still got a ton of flush

[rocky tiger]

fair enough, i just get stupidly lucky in packs

today found a natural steel poly king with blue seal

[tawdry rock]

ew unlock all

[calm furnace]

a trance card in inventory > trance card from a pack

[rocky tiger]

yeah for sure

[calm furnace]

like ghost is absurdly strong

top 7 decks

if not top 5

[rocky tiger]

i play this game casual though i dont try to hyper optimise and it doesnt rly click with me ig

black deck was honestly super fun to gold stake

[heavy heron]

an apple sounds amazing right now

[calm furnace]

its funny because for casual runs ghost is the best deck

because it allows for builds impossible on other decks

like having 5 copies of the same joker

[tiny temple]

Had a nice baron mine run going for once and then got wrecked by the boss blind that debuffs face cards. Didn't plan ahead for it and Mr. Bones couldn't save me since I went 0/7 on lucky cards on that blind 😭

[inner stratus]

whats ur favorite deck?

[rocky tiger]

zodiac

[inner stratus]

woag

[vestal copper]

casually getting a gold win on black stake is crazy

[rocky tiger]

i just love overstock and tarot merchant makes building to any strat easy

[inner stratus]

its pretty good

[calm furnace]

zodiac is strong

[hidden lance]

wow todays balatrodle pissed me off

[rocky tiger]

i dont think its too strong just fun

[inner stratus]

im not a huge fan personally

but overstock is overstock

[hot geyser]

Does Balatro (and by extension steam games) carry save data to other devices if it's on steam ?

[heavy heron]

tarot tycoon my favorite voucher easily

[rocky tiger]

this yellow deck run is gonna be good i already know it

[calm furnace]

huhu

||supernova is not scaling?||

[sleek agate]

i cannot believe it

this shit worked

[calm furnace]

balatrodoodle is weird

[sleek agate]

wow

ive been suffering for so long

jfc

this rubbish is actually getting me to the finish line

[calm furnace]

wtf

[slow epoch]

Uhhh, unfortunately I don’t think my Econ can handle another rental

[calm furnace]

how is ||popcorn scaling but supernova is not||

[calm furnace]

do it

rentals are your friend

dont be afraid of rentals

you will own nothing and you will be happy

[rocky tiger]

i would say do it brainstorm will pay itself back if you see rebate or smth

[slow epoch]

True

[inner stratus]

it can always handle another rental

[calm furnace]

you can handle up to 5 rentals

just get gold cards

[sleek agate]

the things i would do for gold stake winstreaks...

[unreal topaz]

credit to green joker for keeping you alive for so long

[sleek agate]

yes

that too

grimbo hiker tbh

hiker and grimbo were both the mvp

[calm furnace]

i would rather lose my streak than gamble on bloodstone

[unreal topaz]

i've been getting quite a few hit the road runs recently

[inner stratus]

hiker is genuinely one of my favorite chip jokers

[unreal topaz]

more than usual i should say

[sleek agate]

been getting more AJ runs here

i think ive settled with the fact that AJ is just...better than HTR

unfortunately

[calm furnace]

big balatro wants you to believe that Jacks and 9s are not the 2 best ranks in the game

[unreal topaz]

matador pulled a lot of weight

[vestal copper]

aj is what again

[unreal topaz]

4 compatible bosses

[vestal copper]

oh abstract

[unreal topaz]

ancient

not abstract

[vestal copper]

oh

[calm furnace]

wake up people and always make more jacks and 9s

[vestal copper]

cloud nine value

[unreal topaz]

or just whatever rank your blue seal/gold seal happens to be

[vestal copper]

what if you make all sixes tho

[unreal topaz]

either works

[vestal copper]

sixth sevense value

[worthy pawn]

hi mates - long time lurker who is obsessed with checkered deck. just wanna say you are all so good at this game and i'm learning heaps. thanks for the tips.
any checkered deck-centric tips?

[calm furnace]

9s and jacks are the only 2 ranks with potential value for gold stake tho

[sleek agate]

ive been making a lot of flush runs as well

[calm furnace]

contrary to popular belief HtR is a godlike card

[sleek agate]

a lot less straights

i dont think i build straights often at all

[calm furnace]

some edge cases you get your jacks bottom decked

[unreal topaz]

yeah, they're a good default

[sleek agate]

i do 9s and 10s

[calm furnace]

but its at worst a guaranteed 2x

[sleek agate]

Js you can strength 10s

and 10s dont die from plant or something

[calm furnace]

i always strengthed 10s to jacks

[fringe nebula]

flush to carry earlygame, and then you can pivot towards something that goes well with your jokers or keep playing flush

[calm furnace]

and 8s to 9s unless i have 8ball

[sleek agate]

8 ball disappoint me a lot

[calm furnace]

then death everything to 9 or jack depending on the pack

[sleek agate]

until it doesn't

[unreal topaz]

apparently the plant counters it, idk tho

[vestal copper]

8 ball is just like space

[unreal topaz]

i will say htr is much better on painted

[vestal copper]

it not 1 in 4 its like 2 in 3

[calm furnace]

yeah sadly thats one of the bad things about HtR plant and water

[calm furnace]

ye

[unreal topaz]

zodiac is prob the best deck for it

[sleek agate]

ytes

[unreal topaz]

maybe red deck sometimes

[calm furnace]

ghost too

[sleek agate]

i used to play zodiac a lot

[calm furnace]

familiar can give jacks

[sleek agate]

which is why HtR was my beloved

[calm furnace]

cryptid

[calm furnace]

and immolates

[rocky tiger]

such a shame i just sold golden ticket before finding these

[sleek agate]

but ive been playing my favorite deck lately, anaglyph

[unreal topaz]

immolate is much better for htr

[vestal copper]

hit that vamp

[unreal topaz]

and cryptid

and medium

[worthy pawn]

this is my problem. i tend to lean on hearts hoping for the joker that gives a 1 in 2 chance to multiply hearts x1.5. but i'm falling flat always on ante 10 - 12

[calm furnace]

purple jacks 🥵

[vestal copper]

dont try to rely on bloodstone

[latent egret]

bl**dstone ???

you cant be doing that

[worthy pawn]

i think so, my bad - i don't know the jokers well!

[sleek agate]

dont listen to these fools. i just beat gold stake with bloodstone.

[worthy pawn]

the names*

[vestal copper]

hating bloodstone is wise

[terse vale]

yea

[worthy pawn]

but if you pair it with the joker that almost guarantees success (the 2 dice? sorry haha) it is powerful

[sleek agate]

yeah

the problem with that

[terse vale]

kinda

[worthy pawn]

or maybe it isn't and i don't know what i am talking about 😛

[sleek agate]

is you need to get that dice joker

that's the hard part

[vestal copper]

the oa6 is by far the rarest uncommon

[sleek agate]

they're both from the hardest pool of jokers to get from (specifically)

[worthy pawn]

oh agreed haha

[unreal topaz]

2 specific uncommon jokers

[calm furnace]

fr

[sleek agate]

aka uncommon

[vestal copper]

how many uncommons

are there

[unreal topaz]

well looking for a specific rare is harder

[calm furnace]

most jokers are uncommon

[vestal copper]

guh

[sleek agate]

is it?

[fringe nebula]

ante 10-12 is where you die

almost all kind of builds die there

[sleek agate]

TIL

[worthy pawn]

i wonder if there'd be a way to know how often unknown jokers show? is there a formula?

[unreal topaz]

ignoring that rare blocking does way more and blueprint or brainstorm makes the 1 in 20 a 1 in 10

[sleek agate]

so rare is 5%
uncommon is 25%

there are 64 uncommons

and 20 rares

[unreal topaz]

yep

so you see roughly 5 times more uncommons

and there are roughly 3 times as many uncommons

[calm furnace]

hard to block for uncommons

tfw i hold into an idol and only find showman and boots

[unreal topaz]

yea

[unreal topaz]

^

[rocky tiger]

hmm what to sell

[calm furnace]

its funny how uncommons have such a wide range of usefullness

like some of the best jokers are uncommon

[rocky tiger]

dude uncommons are cracked

[sleek agate]

pareidollia

[calm furnace]

but also the worst ones

[unreal topaz]

are straights leveled up?

[unreal topaz]

yes

[sleek agate]

wait

[unreal topaz]

but also

[calm furnace]

boots showman idol seance

[sleek agate]

im stupid

pareidollia midas

[rocky tiger]

nope cant find saturns

[unreal topaz]

could you sell runnerv

[sleek agate]

show deck

[rocky tiger]

why would i do that

[sleek agate]

if half of your cards are gold you can prob sell pareidollia

[unreal topaz]

money

why else?

[calm furnace]

hold into planets

[sleek agate]

what's the opposite of TMI

TLI?

[vestal copper]

how does rare blocking work

[unreal topaz]

tell me more

tmm

[sleek agate]

i might sell pareidolia here

[rocky tiger]

i need a joker slot for bp but runner is good im playing straights with runner and nova and city

[sleek agate]

that's honestly enough gold cards

[calm furnace]

can sell midas or pero easily there

[sleek agate]

i think pareidolia i would sell over midas

[unreal topaz]

it's good, saturn has potential to scale extremely fast

[sleek agate]

there are 4 face cards un golded

[calm furnace]

just buy planets and hold into them to find saturns

[sleek agate]

and pareidolia is just kinda

meh

[unreal topaz]

yeah whats the point of pare without midas

speculative faceless or smth?

[calm furnace]

speculative canio

[sleek agate]

i'd sell pareidolia, take blueprint and take standard pack

[light brook]

“checkered is a fun deck to play!” i say with whimsy
i was then shot to death by every pair main ever

[sleek agate]

checkered is fun

[light brook]

it is

[sleek agate]

and im a pair main

[calm furnace]

chekcered is a pair deck

[sleek agate]

no

it's a flush deck

😭

[fringe nebula]

i play pair build on checkered deck 👍

[unreal topaz]

for me it's fun like half the time and miserable half the time

[vestal copper]

lmao

[unreal topaz]

very hit or miss on the fun factor imo

[light brook]

usually pair mains HATE flushes for some reason

[calm furnace]

if you dont find jupiters on checkered you pivot to pairs

[unreal topaz]

bc they're so weak for a 5 card hand

[sleek agate]

im a pair main and my second most played hand is flushes

[rocky tiger]

Bro i get kept getting insane pair builds on black deck which sucks bc -1 hand size

[ebon maple]

I hate myself just threw an insane luck run due to a missclick

[sleek agate]

made up by some pretty strong jokers tbf

[ebon maple]

😭

[rocky tiger]

Got sharp acrobat and a flat scaler at the same time 3 times

[unreal topaz]

i did play a flush run earlier but like thats bc early blue seals carried

[light brook]

o7, happens to the best of us

[calm furnace]

its crazy that thunk believes flushes are as easy to draw as pairs

[unreal topaz]

the uncommon ones are pretty compelling yeah

[sleek agate]

flushes are pretty easy to deckfix

[unreal topaz]

and ofc

ancient

but ancient joker makes you play ancient joker flushes, not your normal flush build

[sleek agate]

shit, not a jupiter in sight

[calm furnace]

yeah but still doesnt explain why tribe does as much as duo

[sleek agate]

💀

[calm furnace]

and why mercury and jupiter scale the same amount of chips

[sleek agate]

holy mercury

[unreal topaz]

i think you gotta value hung men higher

[calm furnace]

cant value something that refuses to appear

[sleek agate]

i take it often enough imo

[light brook]

me when i see a deity that’s a liquid metal at room temperature

[calm furnace]

hangman only shows up when hermit is a must take

[sleek agate]

it’s like my most used one outside of money tarots and hermit

i don’t use devil enough though

[unreal topaz]

yeah, i have it above temperance

[sleek agate]

damn

[sleek agate]

makes sense tho

[unreal topaz]

makes every single current and future value generator better

[sleek agate]

i find myself taking wheel more often than hanged man n these days

😭

[unreal topaz]

ofc if you have a blue seal you always just hang em

[sleek agate]

it’s just really good

i don’t know why

[rocky tiger]

looks inside
photochad

[unreal topaz]

wheel?

[sleek agate]

like it just does stuff

yeah

[quaint stag]

rocket mentioned

[sleek agate]

it’s just never bad

[rocky tiger]

rocket is my GOAT

[quaint stag]

those who rocket

[sleek agate]

questionable on my part to take it over hanged man

tbf

[unreal topaz]

it's underrated but like over hanged man is absolutely wild to me

in almost any circumstance

unless you're just desperate for points

[sleek agate]

i think wheel’s immediate effect is just so good early game

[calm furnace]

foil is goated

[sleek agate]

that i would prioritize it over hanged man

[fringe crest]

oh my god EWW WHY ARE YOU USING ONLY THE BEST JOKERS I DONT LIKE THEMMMM THERFORE YOU SUCK!

[calm furnace]

the problem with wheel is that its not a guaranteed foil

[sleek agate]

it might have to do with this as well

[unreal topaz]

maybe better than a celestial pack but hanged man is usually even better than that

[sleek agate]

my runs have not been smooth sailing lately

[calm furnace]

if wheel only gives foil i would use it way more

[rocky tiger]

they arent even good bro 💔

[unreal topaz]

fair enough

[sleek agate]

i do take hanged man frequently-ish though

[fringe crest]

dna shouldnt be up there

[sleek agate]

its wonderful

[fringe crest]

but other than that

[sleek agate]

im just addicted to wheel

[rocky tiger]

why not

[calm furnace]

one of the worst cards in the game

[rocky tiger]

WHAT

DNA is so tuff bro

[calm furnace]

DNA is only useful if you have hologram

[rocky tiger]

I think dna is up there cuz i used to play deep endless with like flush 5 glass

[fringe crest]

its not bad its just mid

[unreal topaz]

it's often dubious, and seldom valuable

[sleek agate]

my playstyle is getting closer to roffle

[unreal topaz]

for that just use purple seals

[sleek agate]

💀

[calm furnace]

you just discard straights on purpose?

[unreal topaz]

and shop rerolls

[sleek agate]

evident by my 3oak

[rocky tiger]

i love dna bro it always puts in work when i see it

[quaint stag]

wheel fans when its time to spin the 1 in whatever odds you want to get holographic on their perishable grimbo

[sleek agate]

i really dont build straights often

lmao

mostly boring pair runs but i do flushes and HC sometimes

[calm furnace]

im just making fun because roffle often ignores straights that can one shot or beat early antes

[rocky tiger]

suprising to me scary over smiley tho

[sleek agate]

flushes more often than HV

[fringe crest]

i build anything now but mostly pairs 3oaks and straights

[sleek agate]

literally me

😭

[fringe crest]

negative odd todd

[sleek agate]

look its just $1

[sly bolt]

hello chat I'm pretty new to the game, how do I unlock the scribbled joker?

[sleek agate]

hologram

[calm furnace]

i get so pissed when roffle has a straight that gets 300 points and he discards for a flush

[sleek agate]

is right there

[rocky tiger]

WOF in top 10 lmao i gamble too much

[calm furnace]

and ends up needing 3 hands to beat the ante instead of 1

[quaint stag]

hologram just there like that one goku gif

[unreal topaz]

todd has merit for short term safety, makes rebate better

[fringe crest]

the one that merges hearts diamonds then clubs spades?

[sleek agate]

depends on the deck

[heavy heron]

DNA for my card i want to copy saying “do not appear” after my 2 discards

[unreal topaz]

magic deck is one where the safety does matter

i'd say

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[unreal topaz]

safety is money

with rebate especially

[sleek agate]

just happened

[serene forge]

blocked

[coarse socket]

hey guys! new here, but what's rebate?

[rocky tiger]

mail in rebate

[sleek agate]

true yeah on second thoughts todd is better

[quaint stag]

bloodstone when its time to airball my hearts flush and lose me the gold stake run because thunk himself prevented oa6s from appearing in my shop at all costs

[rocky tiger]

discarding a certain rank gives money, rank changes each round

[sleek agate]

u just mad

[serene forge]

im very mad grr

[sleek agate]

stay mad L

[coarse socket]

ahhh with you, thank you v much!

[austere whale]

What should i sell here? Pants on 0, green on 20.

[calm furnace]

odd todd is goated

[sleek agate]

oh

[quaint stag]

what have you got planets into

[sleek agate]

i would not sell grimbo until pants overtakes it

[unreal topaz]

why sell anything?

[quaint stag]

if you have planets into 2 pair sell grimbo later

[calm furnace]

credit card tho

[unreal topaz]

i would simply never sell grimbo

[sleek agate]

eternal credit card with stencil

[calm furnace]

peak synergy

[sleek agate]

the 2x is there tho

[serene forge]

pants is a pair joker

[sleek agate]

i mean at some point id sell it

personally

not now

[unreal topaz]

so i just sell pants

[sleek agate]

oh

[quaint stag]

when will local thunk release shorts that scales with pair and gives +1 mult for every pair

[unreal topaz]

im serious

pants is more fun tbf

[calm furnace]

why would you sell pants for fist

eternal fist too

[unreal topaz]

no

just in general

if i need a 2x

on stencil

[sleek agate]

pants is kinda better here though, it scales faster than grimbo

[calm furnace]

there is nothing to sell there tbh

[sleek agate]

this

[marsh swan]

Money.

[sleek agate]

we all agree on this
