[unreal topaz]

im a psychic shark

[drowsy rain]

Wait I am a wizard

[light brook]

i think on certain conditions (gold stake, black deck or sum) there are unwinnable seeds, but if there is it’s very few

[ancient gyro]

there's a 10 thousand dollar bounty up for whoever finds an unwinnable seed on white stake any deck (no bugs)

[ancient gyro]

oh ggs

hopefully

[cosmic sun]

mmmm yummy

lemme find a way to throw this

[unreal topaz]

there was also the "unwinnable" bugged seed that was beaten on gold stake black deck

[ancient gyro]

no mult jokers 🥀

[unreal topaz]

with the oops! all planets

so like it's very very unlikely that the game gives you not enough material

[ancient gyro]

naturally an unwinnable seed would be found in the first couple antes

[cosmic sun]

I'm going to space

[unreal topaz]

yeah

[ancient gyro]

hey drake

where is my mult joker

[fringe nebula]

this seed gives you a pretty clear gameplan

[ancient gyro]

unconditional scoring

[cosmic sun]

erm somewhere

[oak elbow]

I went with a photochad deck with an early smiley face

[ancient gyro]

how wonderful

oh

builds like that don't tend to be versatile

as versatile as the above

[cosmic sun]

Yea

[lost vault]

meow :3

[ancient gyro]

oh

[drowsy rain]

Let me guess

The plant

[oak elbow]

..

Maybe

[drowsy rain]

Dodged the plant ✌️❤️‍🩹

#FaceCardsOverrated

[cosmic sun]

I'll take a banana at this point

[drowsy rain]

Manifesting a supernova

[cosmic sun]

We hang on

[ancient gyro]

splendid

[drowsy rain]

Indubitably

[fringe nebula]

yeah, i suggest you to try other builds and see how to make certain jokers work

[oak elbow]

Wdym

[fringe nebula]

also, take blue seal

[lunar zealot]

Ohhhh my aching body

[fringe nebula]

have you tried something other than photochad before

[lunar zealot]

Ohhhhhhhh the pain

[oak elbow]

Well yea

[fringe nebula]

how did it go?

[oak elbow]

I’m ngl I win most of my runs with sum bs

But good

I’ve never really won with photochad

But it just popped up so I took it

[fringe nebula]

photochad relies on planet levels so you want to upgrade your hands

it's kinda meh if your base mult is only at 4 or smth

[last bolt]

what do I do here

[cosmic sun]

I unfisted

And it supercharged Campfire

[ancient gyro]

oh

fun

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[primal dragon]

They could never make me love you playstack

I finally had chicot too

Fuck you playstack

And bloodstone too

[ancient gyro]

wait until your entire profile progress gets bricked

[ancient gyro]

oh that's why

[primal dragon]

You know youre a trash joker when you need oops all sixes to do bare minimum

[eternal kestrel]

How does one go about winning gold stake with Plasma deck

[ancient gyro]

generally chips, money, planets, 2 pairs, retriggers, etc

[eternal kestrel]

2pairs? Really?

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[eternal kestrel]

Why them?

[primal dragon]

Yeah

Spam two pairs

Easy scaling

[eternal kestrel]

Oh

[primal dragon]

Square joker and spare trousers

Throw in an xmult and you’re set

First

[ancient gyro]

twice the chip planet scaling, on card chip score, etc

[eternal kestrel]

I won my first one with square but game said „nah“

And gatekept my sticker

[ancient gyro]

on plasma that requires more specific materials

[primal dragon]

Fuck this game and their dumbass mobile port bro

[eternal kestrel]

Fr

[ancient gyro]

oh

[fringe nebula]

plasma gold stake is very very very unstable

[primal dragon]

I have like 10 blue stake and up wins that didnt count

[eternal kestrel]

As in?

[primal dragon]

You either get only chips or singular mult

[ancient gyro]

pivoting isn't as carefree

[primal dragon]

Anyways this is one of those orange stake runs that did NOT save

7e13

[eternal kestrel]

Damn

[primal dragon]

Popcorn think he on the team 😅😅✌️

[ancient gyro]

play a 2oak lobotomy build maybe that will save

[primal dragon]

I had a plasma deck run once

Pareidolia + 2x scary face and photograph

Shit got me till like ante 13

[cosmic sun]

aight game

[dense stag]

you dont get it....im only at ante 15

its so balatrover

[ancient gyro]

gguh

[timber pewter]

this is how i expect my run to go when i get a blueprint

[dense stag]

i hvaent gotten a blueprint

my hands feel so numb

im taking a break hold o

[timber pewter]

NUMB 😭

are u ok

[primal dragon]

You gotta love a double rental eternal blueprint that copies popcorn

[dense stag]

IVE BECOME SO NUMB I CANT FEEL YOU THERE

[timber pewter]

TRUE

[dense stag]

nah jk it kinda feels like tv static

[glacial galleon]

when trying to attempt a nan inf you only want to take extra blue prints and brainstorms right?

[fringe nebula]

yes

[glacial galleon]

before I reroll I was just trying to verify I didn't need to pick up the other baron

[fringe nebula]

4 blueprints, mime, baron, dna

[glacial galleon]

thanks

[fringe nebula]

at ante 25, switch dna to burglar

[fringe nebula]

certif hologram my beloved

[primal dragon]

We need more joker that make you do dumb shit

Like

“Make a 2 of (x rank) into a king of (said rank) using the strength tarot card for 6x mult

[glacial galleon]

for invis joker do I sell showman or hope it hits another one of my blueprints?

[fringe nebula]

if you like to gamble

[primal dragon]

Sell and then inmediately load your save again

[glacial galleon]

so alt f4 immediately if it hits showman? or what i've never tried reloading save

[fringe nebula]

no

you can just go back to the menu

and then re-enter the game

[glacial galleon]

ahh

[primal dragon]

ITS A TRAP!!!!!

[glacial galleon]

lol

[severe tiger]

Every time I get Blueprint the run magically ends 3 Antes later.

[glacial galleon]

it hit blueprint anyway

we ight

[primal dragon]

Nevermind

Look inside

[cosmic sun]

that's a 3 miller

[primal dragon]

Nvm it was a trap

The plant merked me

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

skill issue plant doesn't counter photochad

[primal dragon]

Are we being for real

[serene forge]

oh that was a rental photo too

yea you were dead anyways

[serene forge]

yea

[primal dragon]

Prove it

[wooden aspen]

Xmult heaven

[serene forge]

anyone who can't beat plant with photochad genuinely should get better at the game

[upper spade]

Believe it or not.
I've never actually used the Photochad method.

[primal dragon]

Try it with 2 photochads

Not 2 chads

[lost vault]

teto

[cosmic sun]

im leveling

[primal dragon]

When that hicard lucky card hit 20$ and 20 mult 👅👅😩

[primal dragon]

Now where the hell am i gonna get a trio on ante 3

[fringe nebula]

card sharp and hologram being a great backup in case of the plant

here

[eternal pumice]

[serene forge]

you should ask yourself how you got so bad at the game that localthunk himself decided to punish you with an ante 3 plant which is normally impossible because plant is ante 4 and up

[primal dragon]

Nope

Laaaaarp

[calm moth]

No clue what's about to happen but it may be huge

[cosmic sun]

im taking that word away from you

[fringe nebula]

no econ at ante 3?

[calm moth]

Yeah my luck in this run is awful

[primal dragon]

Round 5 ante 3?

Dupe that throwback

[calm moth]

Okie

[primal dragon]

Oops

[runic moss]

Hi everyone,
I'm a fairly new player (sub 100 runs so far) and I've encountered my first real hyperlinear run. This is the first time I've been unable to confidently evaluate the best ordering for my jokers when playing my hand. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm currently dramatically outscoring the ante 14 requirements but I'd like to have some idea of how to both currently optimize and what additional growth I can try to obtain and how before the blinds scale past what I can handle.
thanks in advance~

[fringe nebula]

3 baron 2 mime

[wraith iris]

Would a buff to ecto to make it not scale be too strong?

[weak relic]

No seance nor invis. This run is pointless

[fringe nebula]

uncommon and rare

[glacial galleon]

run died 😭

[fringe nebula]

does ecto actually target your oldest joker?

[eternal kestrel]

No

[calm moth]

Guys im an idiot that wasn't huge i didnt have chips😅

[cosmic sun]

aight I got the sacrificial build

[weak relic]

Deadass appeared along with another non gold on a jumbo buffoon pack

[primal dragon]

Oh my god 😭😭😭😭

Dude i need some help with the legendary stickers

How do these work cause i ONLY get yorick and canio

[fringe nebula]

just play

👍

[weak relic]

Another fucked canio run cuz no immolate or hangman XD

[primal dragon]

I want the other jokers

I cant get them because of the gold stickers

Idk how they work

Do i have to like

Get them all to gold stickers

How does that work

[cosmic sun]

win a run with them on gold stake

that's it

[primal dragon]

Every single one?

But like

[weak relic]

So true

[primal dragon]

How am i supposed to get them on gold stake if i cant get them

I only get yorick and canio in gold stake

Am i just extremely unlucky

[serene forge]

soul cards on gold stake are guaranteed to give you a legendary you don't have a sticker for already

[fringe nebula]

exactly, just play 👍

[cosmic sun]

banana just killed itself before madness could get to it

[primal sable]

IF 2 HANDS ARE TIED WHAT HAPPENS?

[cosmic sun]

cinema

[cosmic sun]

has to surpass not tie

[fringe nebula]

if 2 hands are tied then you can't play them

[glacial galleon]

what's y'alls favorite deck to do gold stake stickers?

[primal dragon]

Wait really

[fringe nebula]

yellow or magic

[primal dragon]

Damn

[primal sable]

is this card even good then

[fringe nebula]

strong

[glacial galleon]

do you usually take $25 or a rare joker or play out the ante>

[cosmic sun]

aight fuck

we reroll for cavendih

[weak relic]

Lol I failed obelisk in my last run

[fringe nebula]

i never skip unless ante 1 investment

[weak relic]

I have skill issues now

[primal sable]

how i make it good

[fringe nebula]

by having +mult and +chips

not from planets

[primal sable]

so from jokers

[wooden aspen]

Levele freaking one hundred

On gold stake!!!

[fringe nebula]

you play pair/high card 15-18 times, and then play othe hands for the obelisk

[cosmic sun]

Oh yeah

[fringe nebula]

2pair also works

[weak relic]

Too bad my bs appeared without eternal

[lunar zealot]

Skip it.

[unreal topaz]

obelisk feels even better when you've been ramping a runner or spare trousers

[cosmic sun]

aight riff raff

[unreal topaz]

for a few reasons

[fringe nebula]

well ofcourse

[unreal topaz]

mostly its that those are scaling and hand agnostic

but also its a better than usual setup

[lunar zealot]

aw rip

[cosmic sun]

honestly it's skip time to keep this pretty cavendish

[lunar zealot]

full skip

Actually no

[cosmic sun]

It's bell

[lunar zealot]

You can sell cavendish here if it's not heart or vessel

if you need a sticker

[cosmic sun]

Nah I'm just playing for streaks

erm guys...skipping is good now...

[serene forge]

25 dollars always

rare joker never

[runic moss]

is it worth trading Perkeo for another (probably) copy of the baron/mime?

[eternal pumice]

[balmy gulch]

After a couple hours I finally figured out some of how invis chooses its joker.

Maybe

[serene forge]

lesbian banana

[dusty void]

You guys might kill me for this

But nebula deck may be worse than black

[balmy gulch]

It's true

[dusty void]

It's so abysmal oh my God

Does nothing but takes one consumable slot and gives you telescope

[glacial galleon]

no

Black deck is my op

[dusty void]

Black deck gives you antimatter effect at the least

[glacial galleon]

yeah but lose all your money to even find anything

[dusty void]

Nebula nerfs emperor and priestess

I'll agree that blue stake+ black deck sucks ass

But below nebula is worse

[glacial galleon]

interest is already crap with gold stake

mix in a minus hand

and you get nerfed

[cosmic sun]

-1 hand vs -1 consumable slot

[lament condor]

doc the typa person to play 8 cards in 1 run and SOMEHOW stretch the video to an hour long

[cosmic sun]

Nebula being able to get mercuries earlier, without blue seals, almost offsets the shitty debuff

[glacial galleon]

i hate michel so much but there's literally nothing I can do but take it

[fringe nebula]

-1 hand is worse in most situation but i can see that

[dusty void]

I see wym like fr

But

I feel on decent seeds where you're able to 1/2 shot bosses

[lament condor]

yeah we're executing you for this

[dusty void]

Nebula is still more of a handicap

[fringe nebula]

i really hate how i can't get maximum value on the emperor and high empress

[dusty void]

Yes exactly

[wary willow]

Whats the better investment

Its Ante 1

[dusty void]

Sock

[lament condor]

idol for the eventual baron mime pivot

[dusty void]

In round 2??

[wooden sluice]

saving for interest probably

[dusty void]

Lowk he right

[wary willow]

Mm

[wooden sluice]

acc like

[wary willow]

alr

idk

[lament condor]

spend all your money just in case it becomes green deck

[wooden sluice]

probably celestial so u dojt die

[dusty void]

Yea save interest

[wooden sluice]

unless u have hand levels or smth already

[dusty void]

It's round 2 he doesn't

[wooden sluice]

right shop 1 was rocket

[wary willow]

Insert An Iq too high mme here

[dusty void]

Wild ass seed

[wary willow]

Yeah its looking good

[wary willow]

Oh damn

[dusty void]

I rolled the neg campfire from a judgement 😭

[lament condor]

super duper high score run incoming

[weak relic]

2nd to the last. 149/150

[dusty void]

Bro my naneinf is unmodded wdymm

[dusty void]

What's the last

[lament condor]

when did i EVER say your naneinf was modded

[dusty void]

Oh

[dusty void]

GANGG

[wary willow]

50AK Run incoming

I lowkey want to do my first ever flush 5 run

I dont even have the planet

[wooden sluice]

highly dubious build but just get lucky ig, u got this

[fringe nebula]

take popcorn pls

you need +mult

[lament condor]

if i can't naneinf on this i'll retire

[wooden sluice]

dont go full into flush fives off rip, start with smth sustainable like pair or high card, pivot into flush five once u hav actual deck fixing

[balmy gulch]

Nevermind the invis joker still has secrets to discover. I wish I were better at computer things

[serene forge]

play on abandoned deck

[dense stag]

chat do i have enough cryptids to naneinf? i have 29

and if i cant should i take this voucher

[fringe nebula]

yes

[dense stag]

oh hell yeah

should i take that voucher just incase

[fringe nebula]

oh wait

no no

[drowsy rain]

I think you need plasma?

[fringe nebula]

i forgot this is ghost deck

[dense stag]

i knew it was too good 2 be true

[balmy gulch]

Invis has weird stuff where it picks a number, but the order of your jokers reverses based on if you have an even or odd number of jokers? Maybe? I get the general idea, but can't fully get it. And idk how the jokers are originally ordered

[lament condor]

and they told me not to take poly tags

[fringe nebula]

because skipping stinks

[surreal spruce]

This was not worth a round skip

[lament condor]

never punished

[surreal spruce]

Esp if youre going for naninf

[drowsy rain]

It’s just the brainstorm you would have gotten except now it’s poly and can’t be negative

And you missed a shop

[surreal spruce]

And less money

[balmy gulch]

Don't listen to the haters they're jealous you got a cool thing

[drowsy rain]

It looks cool tho

[surreal spruce]

The cool thing is just

Less optimal

[balmy gulch]

Brooke you're jealous

[errant bolt]

I like skipping small blinds on any stake higher than white

[surreal spruce]

That’s

Not optimal but

[balmy gulch]

You've never gotten a cool polychrome joker like that

[fringe nebula]

lol

[drowsy rain]

Optimal shmoptimal amiright

[wary willow]

Baby's first Flush Five

[fringe nebula]

good job

[severe tiger]

I only skip on free jokers

[fringe nebula]

now take eris

[wary willow]

With this i can FINALLY beat purple stake

[fringe nebula]

not really

[errant bolt]

I also sometimes like skipping on investment tags (if I badly need cash) & negatives

[fringe nebula]

you still need several hangmans

[drowsy rain]

The only tags I’ve skipped in the last month is investment and whatever the holo one is

[balmy gulch]

Tbh I only skip on anaglyph or if i can get 25$ after ante 1

[errant bolt]

Investment tag is really really good for early game if you don't get screwed at the shop

[balmy gulch]

Or if I'm feeling crazy I do a rare skip

[severe tiger]

Yea

[surreal spruce]

Investment is the only okay tag

It’s crazy

Something something random chance variance is so ass

[severe tiger]

I also skip on investment

[errant bolt]

Negative is also good but it depends on what joker it gets applied to

[severe tiger]

But negative is good tho

[drowsy rain]

Holo skip is a good ante 1 small blind skip but we don’t need to have that convo

[surreal spruce]

Gambling in my poker game? Unoptimal? Insane

Negative is not good

Lmao

[severe tiger]

It’s just a free joker

[surreal spruce]

Esp on higher stakes

[severe tiger]

Lmao

[errant bolt]

It really depends on what joker it gives

[surreal spruce]

Opportunity costs

[junior horizon]

Kill me

[surreal spruce]

Which is why it’s not good

It’s a gamble and it’s not free it costs all your opportunity cost of what that shop you missed out on and round could have given you

[wary willow]

I lowkey forgot I need Hanged man

[drowsy rain]

Negative Tag has it’s purpose for scouted seeded runs

[errant bolt]

I'd agree for big blind

[surreal spruce]

For any blind*

[severe tiger]

I KNOW ITS NOT OPTIMAL

I LIKE IT!

[wary willow]

And with this, I jump of a cliff, Adieu

[terse vale]

negative skip is poo

[surreal spruce]

That’s different than saying it’s good

[terse vale]

you lose a shop

[surreal spruce]

“It’s good” ≠ “it’s fun”

[terse vale]

they always switch up it annoys me

[drowsy rain]

I do not play optimally. I do not search for econ. I take the negative tag. And if it isn’t a good joker, then I LOSE.

[balmy gulch]

Negative tag usually just ends up being free garbage. Makes me sad

[wary willow]

99% of Small Blind players always quit before free negative BP

[severe tiger]

Me too

[surreal spruce]

Again

It’s not free

Opportunity costs

[severe tiger]

I see

[balmy gulch]

We know about opportunity costs brooke

[severe tiger]

This is true

[errant bolt]

I just don't like playing smalls in the early game if they don't give $$$ (espec ante 1)

[surreal spruce]

Apparently not 😭

[surreal spruce]

This is the most important time to play them

[stone shell]

is it worth ever skipping one of the econ tags this late

[surreal spruce]

Seeing 2 shops ante 1 > seeing 1 shop

[severe tiger]

I will only skip after ante 3

I get my money up

[stone shell]

double rentals are hard kicking my ass

[drowsy rain]

You have to remember though, the question you always have to ask is “is this tag worth seeing one less shop in my run?”

[errant bolt]

On any deck that isn't yellow you just have no money to do anything

[surreal spruce]

This just isn’t true

[errant bolt]

For ante 1

[surreal spruce]

You ALWAYS have enough money for the first pack

[terse vale]

still no

[surreal spruce]

Which is guaranteed in the first shop

To be the small joker pack

[severe tiger]

Yea

[surreal spruce]

Even if you don’t take it

[balmy gulch]

I mean if you want to be pedantic nothing is free, so the word should never be used for anything I guess

[stone shell]

sorry my invisible rental joker doesnt allow me to buy buffon pack shop 1

[errant bolt]

The packs tend to screw me a lot...

[surreal spruce]

You’re investing into interest with remaining hands

Which gives you even more money

[fringe nebula]

called it

[surreal spruce]

While also giving you a basis of your strength for the coming boss

[dense stag]

ok chat i think i might be able to naneinf i got 33 cryptids

should i try

[surreal spruce]

Which on some decks, the harder ones early, like black. Is important

[wary willow]

No one told me Hanged Man Was THAT important

[fringe nebula]

dna only adds card into your deck

you still need deckfixing

[surreal spruce]

Best deck fixing in the game

[wary willow]

immolate?

[severe tiger]

I hate it when people add cards to their deck just to add cards to their deck

[drowsy rain]

Adding a card is always worse deck fixing than removing one

[severe tiger]

If it doesn’t fit your build

Skip

[terse vale]

well wdym

[stone shell]

i mean doc adds gold cards sometimes

[surreal spruce]

At random so good early but rng dependent. Should say best consistent* deck fixing

[stone shell]

got get that moneyyyy

[fringe nebula]

gold seal? purple seal?

[errant bolt]

Purple/blue seals and gold/steel are sometimes worth

[severe tiger]

What suit or rank, like on Checkered deck

[errant bolt]

Steel especially

[stone shell]

"just to add cards" is probably the important highlight

[terse vale]

blue seals are like 90% of the time worth it

[balmy gulch]

Guys he said 'just to add cards'

[surreal spruce]

100%

[zenith raven]

DNA my beloved.

Just got me Séance Gold sticker. Finally.

[drowsy rain]

leopard seal?

[zenith raven]

16 to go

[dense stag]

i wish balatro calculator was its own application so that it get as much cpu as it needs

[lament condor]

baron pivot? i have DNA

[drowsy rain]

High score?

[lament condor]

yeah

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[drowsy rain]

sure why not if you’re playing high card

[balmy gulch]

I hate that I love bloodstone

[drowsy rain]

Unless you have trib or idol you might as well go kings

[serene forge]

I hate Negative Tag

[severe tiger]

Best joker build?

[terse vale]

pair I guess

[serene forge]

square joker bus blackboard

[balmy gulch]

@severe tiger depends on the context

[drowsy rain]

Hacking the Wee don’t let people tell you otherwise

[terse vale]

with campfire too for vv maybe

[balmy gulch]

White stake, gold stake, endless, ante 8? What deck? It varies

[severe tiger]

Lets say

[terse vale]

endless doesn't count 4 anythang

[severe tiger]

Red deck white stake endless

Because it’s the most unusual

[ancient gyro]

stunt fist bb

[drowsy rain]

Sell your soul for perkeo observatory

[balmy gulch]

Baron mime

[serene forge]

endless is always baron mime

there's no variance

[severe tiger]

True

[balmy gulch]

With blueprint and brainstorms

[serene forge]

baron is just objectively the best for endless

[balmy gulch]

There's variance, but nothing else goes as far as easily as baron mime

[fringe nebula]

best build is something that gives chips, +mult and xmult

without getting countered by boss blinds*

[drowsy rain]

Abuse Chicot glitch

[severe tiger]

The Plant is calling

[balmy gulch]

Abuse double mr bones glitch

[dense stag]

wait wasnt there a mod that allowed you to see how much score ur played hand would get or am i misremembering

vhat is it i must acquire it

[drowsy rain]

Are you a vampire

[dense stag]

no im kris dreemurr

[severe tiger]

https://github.com/DivvyCr/Balatro-Preview

[dense stag]

thank you

[severe tiger]

You’re welcome

Super Build

[lament condor]

if i could find the red seal king i allegedly have i can get this run going

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[balmy gulch]

So you say

[lament condor]

bloodstone why can't you let me draw my red seal king

[balmy gulch]

You keep saying you hate bloodstone, I'm starting to think u looooove it

[lament condor]

its all bloodstone's fault

bloodstone is the reason i haven't naneinfed yet

[severe tiger]

Thing about the mod i linked: incompatible with other mods

[fringe nebula]

bloodstone will always haunts your mind

[serene forge]

nope

what i do love is my girlfriend

[orchid peak]

the first time anaglyph deck gave me something good

[stone shell]

would you love your girlfriend if she was a bloodstone

[serene forge]

we made clear that if she was a bloodstone she would tell me

[balmy gulch]

Enemies to lovers arc is gonna go crazy for you and bloodstone

[stone shell]

what if she did this advanced technique called lying

[tranquil cargo]

can bloodstones lie?

[balmy gulch]

Your SO is the 2nd most likely person to lie to you

Bloodstone lies 50% of the time

[stone shell]

well bloodstone lets you down half the time

and lying in this context is letting you down

[serene forge]

she would never do that

shes too angelic for that 💜

[errant bolt]

hornet do you still hate bloodstone if it's with oops all sixes

[serene forge]

yes

[eternal kestrel]

Hornet what about rough gem

[serene forge]

rough gem is good

[eternal kestrel]

True

[stone shell]

at least rough gem is consistent

[eternal kestrel]

What about Wheel of Fortune

[hybrid tendon]

guys

I am NOT bloodstone

[fringe crest]

i hate bl**dstone

[serene forge]

yeah

it's so insulting that they would even consider that

smh my head

[stone shell]

ah that makes sense

you're an onyx

[fringe crest]

hornet is the bl**dstone and photo hater

ik that

[serene forge]

and m ore

[hybrid tendon]

yeah

+7 mult

[fringe crest]

?

[hybrid tendon]

?

[lament condor]

if i don't get naneinf its all bloodstone's fault

ghost deck needs a nerf its the best deck in the game right now

[fringe crest]

should i take arrowhead here? i am running flush houses rn and already have gotten the spade boss

ok no responce im staying with my current shit

[wintry ice]

blue and yellow are far more consistently powerful

[mystic pollen]

Whait, hmmmm, who who who i need to sell, for brainstorm

[unreal topaz]

it's good value for now ig but i hate perishables

at least the foil fully guarantees i dont die to upcoming needle

thats the main thing i was looking for

[unreal topaz]

i love vagabond

[dense glade]

Well… looks I’m about to hit a wall that I don’t think I can climb

[glacial galleon]

you gonna find luch

you got no money but trust

chicot in arcana

[fringe crest]

SIX SEVENNNN

how did i get new discovery

tf

oh

stakes

hiker and abandoned red

[eternal kestrel]

When is obelisk good?

[fringe crest]

never

unless you predict you will magically get it

[eternal kestrel]

Like, I’ve heard it can be great but I don’t know how

[fringe crest]

^ this is how

[unreal topaz]

nah vagabond gives glass

trust

[fringe crest]

did you see my six seven win

[fringe crest]

i laughed a lot

it was funny

[digital pewter]

we love a 4 gold stake run

[fringe crest]

is that lusty joker i see

[digital pewter]

constellation was already gold staked but everything else was lower

[dense glade]

Idk why I was worried lol

[fringe crest]

ramen is so good tho how was it not gold?

[digital pewter]

idk lol

just never got it to the end of gold stake

lotta jokers i still haven't

[fringe crest]

i love ramen

you use it with burbler and green

one of the best synergys in the game

[digital pewter]

i sold a 200+ chip bull in place for that joker lmao

[unreal topaz]

to be fair any uncommon is hard to find

[fringe crest]

ehh

[digital pewter]

i was a lil worried it'd kill me but it didn't so it was all good

[fringe crest]

i hold onto ramen most the time even if i discard

[glacial galleon]

black deck is going to be the bane of my existence

[digital pewter]

since the bull already had gold stake

[glacial galleon]

I literally can't win gold stake

[digital pewter]

it's rough

doable but rough

[fringe crest]

got to purple stake on it and had a mental breakdown after a week

[unreal topaz]

if i have blue seals or gold cards i often treat ramen as a perishable duo and discard anyway

[glacial galleon]

i feel you

[fringe crest]

then i spent a month on magic deck

dont know why it took so long

it was harder than plasma

[digital pewter]

i went through it by going every stake instead of every deck's stakes

[unreal topaz]

it gives a head start, but not a consistent one so it's not one of the stronger decks

[digital pewter]

except for checkered which i got to gold on first

[fringe crest]

thats like bad

ima do it

[unreal topaz]

plasma you can kinda just highroll and hope you dont hit the 1 in 5 for violet vessel

[glacial galleon]

plasma is easy no?

Chips

[fringe crest]

i have 5 decks left

[slow iris]

no

[fringe crest]

NONONONONONO

[unreal topaz]

easy to win once, very hard to win many times in a row

[digital pewter]

it was easier to start out on, then as i cleared the lower stakes it slowly got harder and harder

[glacial galleon]

ahh I see

[fringe crest]

i got hit by violet vessel so much

[digital pewter]

but it meant that i would always be at a relatively similar difficulty

[fringe crest]

im saving black for last

[digital pewter]

instead of jumping back and forth

[fringe crest]

i was doing them in order kinda

[placid ridge]

Do you believe? Any predictions?

[fringe crest]

loyalty

[unreal topaz]

i should spend time grinding plasma deck at some point and get a better intuition for it

[fringe crest]

every single time its loyalty

[glacial galleon]

hit the road jack

or drivers license

[unreal topaz]

perishable rental tribe

[fringe crest]

one of my fav rares but i hate using it

[digital pewter]

loyalty card is only cool if you get blue deck or are lucky with +hand stuff

otherwise just eh

[unreal topaz]

thats a fun one

[digital pewter]

idea cool
sucks in practice

[placid ridge]

wee joker, no rental, perishable, or eternal.

[fringe crest]

ive been finding abandoned deck really easy idk why i was told its in the top 3 of hardest decks

[glacial galleon]

if you're lucky you'll get invis

[digital pewter]

W joker

[glacial galleon]

and wont be able to use it on anything useful

[placid ridge]

Rare decent gold stakes tag hit

[unreal topaz]

nah its one of the strongest

[fringe crest]

early wee is good

[unreal topaz]

its just not as strong as like blue deck or yellow deck

[placid ridge]

If only I knew how to use it properly

I do not think this run has good odds

[fringe crest]

yea i get full freedom almost instantly

[unreal topaz]

once you get off the ground its just so much easier to make money

[fringe crest]

i find a joker to base a run on and ante 4 my deck is pretty much fully fixed

[unreal topaz]

and you get to play higher ranking hands if you want

[fringe crest]

i had a strong deck already build for fh

flush

hiuse

house

[unreal topaz]

flush house is peak

[fringe crest]

gea

yea

[unreal topaz]

tarot merchant in the shop too

[fringe crest]

swapped to ff cuz i got the family

[unreal topaz]

basically guaranteed glass and steel

as needed

[fringe crest]

i ran lucky

[unreal topaz]

im saying like ante 6+

[fringe crest]

not the best but i swapped to glass after i got a dna

[unreal topaz]

yeah

[fringe crest]

also

nat neg pareiadolia

[unreal topaz]

dna brainstorm and still down to 39 cards in the deck

[fringe crest]

i had like 20 smth

[unreal topaz]

hell yea

[dense glade]

I wish I could keep this run going…

[vestal copper]

[digital pewter]

62 gold staked jokers so far

not bad methinks

but man, that's still a lot of runs...

[unreal topaz]

just gotta focus on enjoying gold stake

[fringe crest]

just sell

[unreal topaz]

it happens eventually

enough runs will get "too big to fail"

[fringe crest]

i have bean gold staked

i dont think i have any legendary tho

[unreal topaz]

thats prob the hardest one

[fringe crest]

bl**dstone will be the hardest one

i hate it

[unreal topaz]

oh that one

[digital pewter]

i have gold stake chicot and yorick

[fringe crest]

i never touch it

best gold stake legendary

imo

[night turret]

Man fuck this game

[unreal topaz]

yeah yorick is just so consistent

[fringe crest]

uhh 1 chicot 2 rick 3 trib 4 canio 5 perkeo

[unreal topaz]

best scaling xmult there is in most situations

[fringe crest]

chicot makes the game so much easier tho

[fringe crest]

why

[digital pewter]

getting gold staked yorick is nice cause with only 2 discards it can be iffy to start but once you hit that third round and get 'em to 2x it's smooth sailing

[fringe crest]

oh

could be worse

ima save yorick and chicot for black deck

[unreal topaz]

he does, but yorick actually giving you points helps keep you safer, not just scoring more but leaving more space for value generation

chicot kinda gives you money too i guess

sometimes

[fringe crest]

i have the worst luck possible though

[unreal topaz]

yorick just does more usually

[digital pewter]

chicot is sell value and consistent runs

[night turret]

look at score

[fringe crest]

yea i sae

saw

[night turret]

I forgot to do calc

[unreal topaz]

so is yorick

yorick has to be the most consistent legendary

[digital pewter]

consistent as in bosses can't mess anything up

[fringe crest]

isnt chicot by definition more consistant?

[digital pewter]

yorick makes runs easier

chicot makes runs consistent

that's how i would put it

[unreal topaz]

chicot matters somewhat often, but also most builds are pair builds which are indifferent to most bosses

vs the needle yorick is like chicot (with pairs)

vs the wall yorick is like chicot

etc

[fringe crest]

id still rather have chicot cuz as long as im able to scale even up to the minimum i pretty much win

[digital pewter]

they should make Ymult

[unreal topaz]

sounds like a personal preference

[fringe crest]

y mult?

yea

[digital pewter]

hell, even Zmult

[unreal topaz]

i like my scaling xmult

[fringe crest]

i prefer +mult and planets

[digital pewter]

i love +-mult

pulling myself down by my bootstraps by being in credit card debt

[unreal topaz]

xmult is still needed, i just dont see a +mult legendary

[fringe crest]

yea fs

[night turret]

The one time I need an 8 ball from a judgement

I got unlucky with a oujia

[unreal topaz]

maybe perkeo copying planets but realistically perkeo copying hanged man for blue seal value is the planet cards

[digital pewter]

yo so you know how the legendary jokers are all based off of entertainers and jesters in history and the media?

[fringe crest]

happy new years

[slim turret]

y mult? because

[fringe crest]

whenever i get perkeo i just use it to get money

[digital pewter]

i think they should add a new joker from this thing called balatro, his name is jimbo

[fringe crest]

money can be used for everything

[digital pewter]

now, based on the game he originally comes from, he's related to the number 4, so if we were to make jimbo a legendary, what if they gave x4 mult or something?

[fringe crest]

does plant appear in abandoned

[digital pewter]

yeah

decks don't ban bosses

that's only challenges

[fringe crest]

is there requirements

<@&1133519078540185692>

get this scum out of here

[woven spire]

mods smite them

[fringe crest]

[eternal pumice]

[serene forge]

[weak relic]

Welp no signs on invis. Yet another pointless run

[analog mulch]

The current state of things

[serene forge]

[woven spire]

Fork just hates photo dw

[ebon condor]

[night turret]

Ohh. Boy bloodstone oh-

[weak relic]

Hunt for invis joker gonna be a pain for me ig

[night turret]

Just get wraith lol, gives me that or hit the run everytime

[weak relic]

I used wraith but it gave me htr

So I restarted and skipped an ethereal pack for +3 mult instead

Red card value ofc

[ebon condor]

yknow i have been underrating gold cards

like i always knew they were good but like

they are easily the best enhancement in the game and i was NOT giving them enough credit for it

[analog mulch]

Yikes

[somber whale]

What do I do 😢

Showman has been so fruitful but hes the only viable sell

[analog mulch]

Wait, I redid it, Sold Photo and it gave me Brainstorm

[tawdry spade]

Do I buy lotto tickets tonight?

[somber whale]

Every night

[somber whale]

[somber whale]

Yo can you assist me w smth

[somber whale]

^^^

[ebon condor]

[somber whale]

Dam

[ebon condor]

genuinely have not taken a run into endless mode since 2024

[bleak blaze]

Real shit

[woven spire]

showman

[night turret]

Damn never got a neg this entire run

[green jasper]

yay got my first win, third time was the charm indeed xD

I don't think is original at all but feels nice

[tulip aurora]

Rate the abandoned deck gold stake win guys

Ignore the drunkard and reroll guy i was getting stickers

[green jasper]

whats the gold stake? still havent met that

...or abandoned deck

[tulip aurora]

Son

Its spoilers so

If you care abt that lmk

[green jasper]

oh wait stakes were the difficulty

neat then xD I still am only on the first

[tulip aurora]

LOL no your good

I can tell you if you want but I wont spoil

[green jasper]

I just saw that golden chip boss and thought you meant that

[mystic pollen]

Hmmmm, skip this jojer?

[tulip aurora]

Lemme see the deck

[tulip aurora]

Nooo lol

Abandoned deck is a deck you unlock later

[tulip aurora]

It starts you with a normal deck with no face cards

[green jasper]

what does the joker even do? idk that one... or the first one you got... or the paper scribble one...

[tulip aurora]

You'll prolly wanna work towards that 5

[mystic pollen]

I trying into spades

[tulip aurora]

So yea

Take it over scholar

[green jasper]

oh I like that then, my first try had Ride the Bus

[mystic pollen]

Ok

[tulip aurora]

Ride the bus is a pretty okay joker

[green jasper]

but crashed against the heart : / xD

[tulip aurora]

Very situational

[tulip aurora]

Are you playing flushes

[mystic pollen]

Yeah

[tulip aurora]

Okay yea sell scholsr for it

Fa

Fs

Play towards that 5

[green jasper]

yeah the scholar only goes for Aces

[tulip aurora]

Get it lucky and red seal, copy it a bunch

[green jasper]

afaik

[tulip aurora]

W run

Im aware

[mystic pollen]

I get aces

And scholar just was holo

[tulip aurora]

Make sure you updating me

Im invested now

[green jasper]

the 0 discard joker seems risky but i guess you are more experienced and dont fear getting stuck

[tulip aurora]

Burglar?

[analog mulch]

[green jasper]

the one in the middle, I saw it once, read the description and nope'd

[tulip aurora]

It isnt really risky since a discard and a hand are theoretically the same

[green jasper]

I suppose if you got a powerful hand its okay too

[tulip aurora]

Yea

I mean it can give you more money

Because each hand you still have at the end of round is an extra dollar

Sorry I would help explain stuff and my opinion on jokers but im tired😭

[green jasper]

oh i know yeah as well as the interest up to 25 (without vouchers, stumbled upon that mechanic, abused on 3rd run) i suppose its discard until you get a flush and then more to get zero then go for it

[tulip aurora]

Im pretty decent at the game tho if you have questions js ask!

[green jasper]

I mean I saw the game gets exponential but so far the combos i have made havent reached quite high

I did see the x3 mult jokers for each move, guess that's a thing to get

[tulip aurora]

Which joker?

Is that

[green jasper]

winning without flush might be pain <_> is what I supposed would be easiest and was

I unlocked a bunch of stuff when winning, a couple of those were jokers that get X3 Mult when using a hand... unlocked by not using the hand

[tulip aurora]

Winning with flushes is usually the easiest

Its not impossible to win without it though

[green jasper]

yeah I can see that my first run I was with trios

[tulip aurora]

Highcard can become some of yhr strongest builds in the game believe it or not

[molten thicket]

do i take this invis

[tulip aurora]

3 of a kind?

Is it a trio

[green jasper]

I took High card upgrades but I saw it more as a safety net

ah yeah sorry 3 of a kind

[tulip aurora]

No if your going for nan inf you only need 4 BP/ bs

I think

I would look thay up actually

[molten thicket]

hmm

idt this is gonna naneinf

[tulip aurora]

Might as well try

[molten thicket]

not even close to naneinf

[tulip aurora]

U right your ante 14😭

Go for it then

Look for that mime

[molten thicket]

but i think im passing anyways

[tulip aurora]

And that ecto

[molten thicket]

i already ectoed

[tulip aurora]

Oh

[green jasper]

mime as in duplicate hand effect?

[mystic pollen]

Oh

[tulip aurora]

Photochad!

[mystic pollen]

Hmmm, who i need to sell

[tulip aurora]

Yes

[green jasper]

thats how I won got lucky with steel cards at least

[tulip aurora]

Hold on

Your going for that 5

How far into it are you

[mystic pollen]

I dont take him

I have my blue jojer

He is better

[tulip aurora]

I would sell the +15 mult guy if you REALLY want to photo

[royal bobcat]

True

[tulip aurora]

Cause hes not that good en

Rn

[mystic pollen]

I dont want photo

[royal bobcat]

Photo or odd todd I'm taking odd Todd

[tulip aurora]

Well okay

[mystic pollen]

I want card sharp

But idk

[tulip aurora]

I mean

Wait card sharp is a repeat in hand type right

[mystic pollen]

Yeah

[dire crater]

4 wheels in a row

[tulip aurora]

If your going for flushes its prolly not the best?

[tulip aurora]

Fucking hold on

[mystic pollen]

Why?

[tulip aurora]

who the FUCK is that in the middle

[molten thicket]

jonkler

[tulip aurora]

Do it

[dire crater]

ill do it

[raw whale]

LET'S GO GAMBLING

[tulip aurora]

Repeating flushes isnt too good

Its pretty okay for now

[somber whale]

I take the burger over one of the blueprints right

[tulip aurora]

Chicot

[tulip aurora]

Prolly

[molten thicket]

planted

[raw whale]

AW DANGIT

[somber whale]

Good enough for me

[royal bobcat]

What for

[somber whale]

Yikes

[tulip aurora]

Sniped

[somber whale]

Cause I’m starting to lose

[royal bobcat]

For the money I guess

[tulip aurora]

Keep oy

It

Keep it

No balls

[somber whale]

And I get more cat stacks with burger

[tulip aurora]

Exactly

[royal bobcat]

Burglar isn't going to increase your score in a significant way

[tulip aurora]

Well yea but

[somber whale]

More cat stacks

[tulip aurora]

The kitty gets fatter

[somber whale]

Indeed

[royal bobcat]

Sure but atp it doesn't matter ure dead alr

[somber whale]

Wow

[tulip aurora]

Wooooow

[mystic pollen]

I just only want beat blue steak

[tulip aurora]

Rude

[somber whale]

😿

[tulip aurora]

Your prolly beating it atp anyway

[somber whale]

The cats crying

[tulip aurora]

I mean if you need xmult then take it fs

Just make sure you dont mess it up cause that would be deadly

[mystic pollen]

I just need more than 1 hands

To win blind

But the problem, mystic summit and odd todd is the only who give me mult

[dire crater]

fucking finally

look at that missprint

[green jasper]

idk what are those but must be useful xd

[mystic pollen]

Ooooo yeaaahh

It was a good idea

[mystic pollen]

Obviously arrowhead

[fair sapphire]

fire lol run rn

lil*

[mystic pollen]

Bye bye blue steak

[fair sapphire]

most of my cards are red seal lucky

[mystic pollen]

[fair sapphire]

changed quick

[dire crater]

the rich, the poor

[weak relic]

Invis appeared but I used it out of desperation

[earnest goblet]

oh my god sir, sir your the famous buffoon pack face, may I pls get an autograph

[weak relic]

Double obelisk op tho

[mighty flume]

OK, HOW MANY COLAS I WILL FIND!?
