[robust lance]

Wanna do something foolish together

(Killing people)

[serene forge]

what

[prime tulip]

How is obelisk even good

[serene forge]

fast scaling xmult

[prime tulip]

Yeah but like

You gotta draw different stuff idk

[serene forge]

you can't even explain why you think its bad 😭

[ancient gyro]

what

[prime tulip]

Lmao

If I see obelisk, I'll try

To make it work

[sudden stone]

Don't knock it till you try it

[lofty sapphire]

gee thanks game

[ancient gyro]

well it has some conditions

[robust lance]

It’s cause it goes against natural instincts to build up your most frequently used tool into something super strong (at least that’s it for me)

[serene forge]

punished for taking polychrome skip

[prime tulip]

Taunting behavior by photo man

[serene forge]

there's a runner there btw

[robust lance]

Pareidolia in pack

[prime tulip]

Eternal tho

[serene forge]

who cares

[robust lance]

Some people

[prime tulip]

Runner ain't good for long term imo

[lofty sapphire]

never been a huge runner fan

[serene forge]

how is it not

it solves chips

[fringe warren]

I'd literally just deck fix towards it

[ancient gyro]

what's wrong

[foggy bane]

i just started this run to unlock invis joker dawg

[lofty sapphire]

wtf lmao

wrong reply

[prime tulip]

Trib

[lofty sapphire]

whatever

too lazy to fix it

[foggy bane]

tripple trib

[prime tulip]

Nice blueprint skin btw

uh

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[prime tulip]

Brainstorm

Lowkey same

[foggy bane]

yea its a mod that makes it blueprint and brainstorm match the joker theyre copying

[prime tulip]

But then again I have no favorite jokers minus the obvious

[prime tulip]

If I would want to try that I'd have to dust off my pc to play balatro on there again

[raw whale]

OMG CHICOT!!

[prime tulip]

Viable???

[foggy bane]

btw chat i need to know is it better to copy retriggers or the thing you want to be retriggerd

[raw whale]

canio

[serene forge]

depends

[prime tulip]

Like baron and mime?

[foggy bane]

for example yea

[shell dagger]

even split

[prime tulip]

If you got 2 blueprints, I think one for each

I could be wrong

[ancient gyro]

depends

[raw whale]

what is this

[shell dagger]

also depends on the type of cards you’re retriggering

[serene forge]

omg rebate hi

[raw whale]

like genuinely what am i supposed to do

[prime tulip]

I think the clubs need to go boss (unless)

[sullen aspen]

just take rebate

[raw whale]

in place of?

[sullen aspen]

do you have flat mult?

[vestal copper]

rebate is often the answer

[prime tulip]

He's got the swash

[sullen aspen]

its either hologram or seeing double

seeing double helps for now

[ancient gyro]

swash is gonna die long term anyways

[prime tulip]

How big is canio?

[ancient gyro]

dog it's round 5

[lofty sapphire]

first hand of a run

is it a sign

[raw whale]

omg guys i can get second canio !!

[prime tulip]

Wtf is that

[sullen aspen]

why tf r u rerolling so hard with 12$😭

[raw whale]

rebate erratic

[sullen aspen]

"first hand"
55 chips

[ancient gyro]

🗣️

[robust lance]

Might as well be first hand

We have a buffer

[sullen aspen]

did u get a good erratic orrrr

[lofty sapphire]

lol

[prime tulip]

I should try erratic again

[sullen aspen]

is it basically the same as a normal deck

[raw whale]

i have way too much 3s

[sullen aspen]

hack + oops + lucky cat + bloodstone👀

[sullen aspen]

free win right there

[raw whale]

nah actually perkeo + perkeo + perkeo + perkeo

[tulip aurora]

3s🤤🤤

[sullen aspen]

tho realistically speaking

4ok/flush five is ur best hand

[tulip aurora]

No 8ball value, instant loss

[lofty sapphire]

optimal joker setup

[ancient gyro]

it's just so peak

[raw whale]

y not 5oak

[sullen aspen]

I hate 5ok

[prime tulip]

You dont use contrast??

[ancient gyro]

I don't play flushes no

[tulip aurora]

Bc 5oak is BORING

[ancient gyro]

also messes with my face card art

[lofty sapphire]

the only reason i use contrast is because the spade and club are identical without it

hate that

[raw whale]

even with flushes the colors get easy to differentiate once you get used to them

[ancient gyro]

you get used to it after a thousand hours or so

[raw whale]

spades are blue-ish, clubs are green-ish

[prime tulip]

Idk I just use color contrast, easier for me to differentiate

[lofty sapphire]

its so comically hard to tell at a glance

deadass

diamonds and hearts do not have this problem

[raw whale]

it really isn't

[prime tulip]

What deck should I play gold stake on

[ancient gyro]

black

[sullen aspen]

ghost

[raw whale]

black

[vestal copper]

yellow

[prime tulip]

Black lmao

Sure

[tulip aurora]

Plasma🤤

[lofty sapphire]

abandoned

[prime tulip]

I play plasma too much lol

[vestal copper]

abandoned is fucking goated

[raw whale]

black
yellow
black
oooh, black and yellow! let's shake it up a little!..

[ancient gyro]

u might get a streak run like this

[vestal copper]

im free of flushes on it

[lofty sapphire]

dude i hate black so much but i got to ante 15 with it so idk what to think anymore

[prime tulip]

Racist 😳

[vestal copper]

lmfao

[lofty sapphire]

perkeo + blueprint + observatory

[foggy bane]

I hate the way negative brainstorm looks

[lofty sapphire]

damn you caught me

[vestal copper]

pause there for a second

[calm sapphire]

black deck is pretty difficult to play with early game

[sullen aspen]

unless u get goat raff

[vestal copper]

riff raff is fucking peak

[novel rain]

Why ToT

[lofty sapphire]

gee thanks man

[prime tulip]

Peak

[raw whale]

WTF

this is blursed

[prime tulip]

Oops tho

[raw whale]

yeahhh

[still pike]

Do I play for the polycrome or keep for the planet card?

[raw whale]

should i risk gros michel atp

i probably should

[misty pawn]

Insane hand lmao 😭

[robust lance]

Both

[prime tulip]

Lmao

[ebon maple]

To however asked me why inmolate wasnt in my top used spectral cards

[ancient gyro]

no lol

[ebon maple]

Since them i have seen 0 inmolates

[prime tulip]

Then again you have 70 cards lol

[raw whale]

look who's here

[ebon maple]

20 spectral packs including jumbos and mega

[misty pawn]

Gamblers always meet

[prime tulip]

Real

[misty pawn]

GAMBLING ✊ 🔥 🗣️

Anybody else get really lucky on their first run then every run after that was worse ?

[prime tulip]

Whats the play

[still pike]

Is this a good joker setup

[calm furnace]

SHOWMAN DOUBTERS IN SHAMBLES

[shell dagger]

Golden joker and maybe die to the big blind 🔥

[calm furnace]

showman the goat here won me the rub

[shell dagger]

Vs buffoon pack and maybe get garbage 🔥

[prime tulip]

My thoughts exactly

[still pike]

Yes

[prime tulip]

I could rip buffoon and if I get garbage get the superposition

[raw whale]

would todd be better than swash

[calm furnace]

man if i had blue seals this run only

[raw whale]

if i play like 5oak of 3s

[shell dagger]

Impossible for us to say without knowing hand levels

[ebon maple]

Another one

I vate soectrals

[shell dagger]

But probably not bc of canio

[ancient gyro]

depends on boss blind

[raw whale]

also my canio is still level one lmao

i just had no card deletion offers whatsoever

[shell dagger]

Literally got the second best spectral card btw

[raw whale]

not even glass

[ancient gyro]

is that a new planet I've never heard of

[shell dagger]

Even on nebula deck

[ebon maple]

Ik, but i never get inmolate

[prime tulip]

I died, new run

[misty pawn]

What are those funny things on the upper left ?

[shell dagger]

Keep swash

[still pike]

Swashbuckler would be good rn

[ancient gyro]

mommy taught me not to be picky with my veggies

[misty pawn]

I hate dying and losing all progress just to start again tbh, is this the addictive side ? It's just kinda annoying tbh 😭

[prime tulip]

Lmao yeah

[raw whale]

UnBlind — shows ante tags/score/boss in shops

[misty pawn]

Ah, thank

[still pike]

I found swashbuckler

Rate my joker setup 1-10 (1 worst) (10 best)

[mighty flume]

God. i feel so uneasy... the pressure is building up

like, is now or never. either this runs makes it and i get C++. or i will have to grind again

[sacred pike]

One deck left...

[prime tulip]

Do I take the eternal rebate

[still pike]

Gift card or egg would help your swashbuckler

[prime tulip]

Actually no

[raw whale]

yall this might be the most dumb L of all time

i just didn't wait for 5oak

[prime tulip]

I really wish you could use mouse and keyboard for xbox's balatro

[raw whale]

lucky card hit money and mult and it wasn't enough

[mighty flume]

IM CRAPPING MYSELF

[gaunt rapids]

Portuguese

[gaunt rapids]

Unfortunate

[raw whale]

i earned a new personal achievement, lose a run with canio at x1

[still pike]

You need legendary joker that disables boss blinds

[gaunt rapids]

Whenever you need luck, just isn't there

[raw whale]

LMAO

[gaunt rapids]

Or just get a luchador

[raw whale]

imagine 6th sense on this bad boy

[mighty flume]

ok... ok... ok...

this has to be the good one

im fucking shaking. blowing through a rubik's cube.

this could be it

[gaunt rapids]

Should be fine, do have dusk as backup so

What does your deck look like?

[mighty flume]

LET'S DANCE JIMBO

G

FUCKING

G!!!!!!

C++!!!!!!!

[still pike]

I need a negative joker so bad

[mighty flume]

no way, NO FREAKING WAY

[ancient gyro]

enjoy your new home screen ig

[ebon maple]

Do i take him?

[prime tulip]

Yes

Wait no

[broken notch]

Yes

[prime tulip]

Rental

[ancient gyro]

you already have chips

[broken notch]

oh it's rental

[ancient gyro]

and it's late

[prime tulip]

That too

[broken notch]

I was gonna say sell it

But it's rental

so the rare value aint there

[ebon maple]

That was the main concern

[ebon maple]

Sadly

So do i take it?

[broken notch]

Well it depends

If you have a lot of aces, Scholar is better rn

[ancient gyro]

no

[ebon maple]

Oky

[ancient gyro]

scholar sells for the most

[ebon maple]

Will take scholar

And if then sell later

[broken notch]

Wait... does four fingers help to make a flush five??

[ebon maple]

I will hold him a tad

[broken notch]

I just had this realisation

[ancient gyro]

for the suit requirements yes

[prime tulip]

I think so

[broken notch]

huh

[broken notch]

like a full house with four hearts would make it count

[ancient gyro]

5oak with 4 clubs

[broken notch]

Oh right I'm thinking of the other one

but yeah

Good to know ig

Strong start

[ebon maple]

Do i take the sock though?

[broken notch]

Dex fixing time

[ancient gyro]

red card 🔥

[broken notch]

Red card is one of the best looking jokers with enhancements

But DNA with magic deck, I cannot resist

[ancient gyro]

what

[shell dagger]

Taking dna is throwing away a free win

[gaunt rapids]

Eternal so no

[shell dagger]

DNA so no

[still pike]

I bairly lost ante 8 crimson heart

[void zephyr]

can we make balatro more optimized smh, cant even play it on intel dual 2 core and 4gb ddr2

[broken notch]

I guess? But red card scales so slowly tho?

[still pike]

Im on a laptop and can play

[ancient gyro]

what

[gaunt rapids]

Foiled, so just use it and then sell it for something better

[dark cairn]

gold stickered joker stencil and greedy joker

[gaunt rapids]

Will help for early ante

[ancient gyro]

it's practically 1 to 1 in terms of money to mult conversion

[dark cairn]

now i have all suit jokers gold stickered 👍

[shell dagger]

Scales faster than the hand scalers except trousers

[broken notch]

I never could get it very high

[shell dagger]

You probably need to get better at managing econ then

[ancient gyro]

and is essentially an opportunity value finder

[shell dagger]

It can easily get to +90 if obtained early

[ancient gyro]

or well
not drooling at a pointless rare joker

[dark cairn]

wow im at 122/150 already?

[gaunt rapids]

And it's the first shop

[ancient gyro]

red card is good at getting to +30 without much drawback

[rotund igloo]

Red card is best when you have econ already set up. If you have no money its not gonna help you that much

[ancient gyro]

especially this scenario

[broken notch]

I did post it because I did doubt, ur right, but im already dead you can stop kicking lmao 😭

[lofty sapphire]

hologram >> red card

[broken notch]

Point taken

[ancient gyro]

oh

[lilac portal]

FINALLY

[ancient gyro]

early game, rc is better

[rotund igloo]

3oak huh.

[lilac portal]

(The one not visible at all is obelisk)

[dark cairn]

nope im at 116/150

i think

this is why i just go off the profile stats

[ancient gyro]

red card compared to its common hand scaling siblings doesn't really have to worry about a sudden change in score or whatever synergy limiting conditions you need to keep the scaling

but yeah

[broken notch]

I guess DNA makes me go "I can start dex fixing from ante 1" but red card is a better choice there

Would be better in the fourth shop and not eternal

[prime tulip]

This is heinous

[gaunt rapids]

Peak

[lilac portal]

On the one hand, that's late game probably figured out (Somewhat)
On the other, how do you score 1000

[broken notch]

True

[ancient gyro]

you have nothing good to copy for the first few antes and making more cards doesn't make the bad cards in your deck disappear when dealing with card draw probability

[gaunt rapids]

More deck ruining than deck fixing

[lilac portal]

Oh yeah, if completionist++ isn't popping up on steam I need to win another run right

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[gaunt rapids]

And plus, I'd only really pick up a dna if I have at least one or two copying jokers

Then you'd actually get real value

[broken notch]

Yeah... it's really decieving that I die on the late game only and I think the late game is the problem when it's really the early game

[gaunt rapids]

The time it takes for your deck to get aligned, if you're on a good run, you'd probably want it around like ante 13 to 14

Cause then by that point, hopefully, your deck is managed better

Plus, playing that high card early game might just lose you if you don't get lucky with the correct hands

That one extra hand is needed like 95% of the time

[still pike]

What do i take? They are both good

[wintry ice]

so uh do i sell halu for drunkard or burglar

[prime tulip]

Baron

[wintry ice]

water is in 2 blinds

[gaunt rapids]

Early game sets you up, just have to manage the early game better so you can increase your late game

[ancient gyro]

early game is always the problem when it takes the highest priority of needing to play 5 card hands. overall the most played antes are going to be the first two with high variance of choices being influenced for later. both money and joker picks

[prime tulip]

I have a water boss blind but I also have mystic summit

[wooden aspen]

Do i take?

An do i sell a copy joker for idol if it comes around?

[ancient gyro]

burga

[broken notch]

Why do you have the mime???

[wooden aspen]

Js picked it up this shop

Had rebate before obviously

[broken notch]

It's better than the mime if, from what I can see, you have more lucky cards than steel cards by a mile

[calm furnace]

sly almost killed me there

[ancient gyro]

sly saved your run*

[wooden aspen]

Its eternal tho

[wintry ice]

do i use devil and death now or

[calm furnace]

not really

was barely adding anything to my score

i just took it to save money on finishing binds faster

[ancient gyro]

since you have money gen I use it now in case you roll down for another one next ante

[wintry ice]

death too?

[ancient gyro]

I would hold death if it was any other deck

up to you

I would use it

[broken notch]

Okay so i might have rage restarted the other run for picking the wrong joker like an idiot but uh what the hell is this run being. I picked Hanging chad to just have more chips somehow because the other picks where bad and I just got a blueprint and now a flash card???

[ancient gyro]

haven't seen your boss blinds

[still pike]

Is castle good or am I fine rn?

[calm furnace]

do you need chips?

[prime tulip]

Minus baseball card idk about that one boss

[ancient gyro]

a foolish question

[still pike]

I almost lost to last boss I needed 800 and got 825

[wintry ice]

i could sell burglar now that it kinda messes up telescope

[ancient gyro]

o

[broken notch]

I'd say take it in place of the popcorn? It can be kinda hard to scale, but it's better than no chips. Perhaps replace it later if something else comes up

[wintry ice]

(speculatively)

[prime tulip]

Game wants me to go diamonds

[ancient gyro]

i mean i hate aj so I just pretend its intended play style doesn't exist

[still pike]

Ya and my popcorn at 4 mult anyway I was thinking that

[broken notch]

If it's about to die def sell it

[broken notch]

aj?

[wintry ice]

ancient

[broken notch]

oh jaded agate

[ancient gyro]

baron is currently doing fuck all rn, the patriarchy dies

[wintry ice]

m

well it works i guess

[broken notch]

I mean yeah but if the popcorn is gonna die they should get the money

[ancient gyro]

eh

[broken notch]

Wait no

what the hell is aj

[ancient gyro]

they'll need it to even get by the next round

[wintry ice]

this is profitable with gold cards and eventual blue seals assuming i draw them

[gaunt rapids]

Ancient Joker

[broken notch]

Honestly my ideas would be to sell teh baron too

[broken notch]

ahhhh

[still pike]

I found popcorn again lol

[ancient gyro]

so much for being pair neurodivergent

[broken notch]

I don't know if I should go with flash card, I have my economy up, but I picked up chad in earling antes, and it doesn't synergise, but I literally haven't found anything that isn't pair joker yet for mult :/

[wintry ice]

i might just do 3oak with occasional help from aj

assuming i don't get many jupiters

[broken notch]

I don't think forcing baron this early makes sense tho

[gaunt rapids]

What does your deck look like, cause that Sock and Baron are not beneficial to each other

[broken notch]

yeah

[wintry ice]

it never does above like red stake or so

[gaunt rapids]

I'd say just get the diamond one, if you have any diamond face cards, and the sock boosts that so

O

Honestly

Ye

Already have a blue seal on that ace, you're gonna be discarding for that so might as well go for diamonds

[broken notch]

diamonds?

[still pike]

I lost

[ancient gyro]

go figure

[prime tulip]

Oof

[broken notch]

Don't try to force a baron build that early

[ancient gyro]

or at all

[broken notch]

I mean yeah

[wintry ice]

i nearly got bamboozled by a king of hearts on the mark

nice

unfortunately i have 13 high cards

[ancient gyro]

oh

[gaunt rapids]

Baron and Dna are basically the same deal, only get them whenever your deck is fully managed, like usually around ante 14 or so

[broken notch]

wait did you say this to me, or?

[wintry ice]

high card
card: hi

[ancient gyro]

vic

[broken notch]

Ok thx

[broken notch]

I think I should reroll for something that works with chad but if I don't find any mult source I am going to lose my mind

[wintry ice]

(wall is the current one)

[woeful widget]

you cant be real

[lilac portal]

TEMPERANCE VALUE

[broken notch]

Temperance value

[lilac portal]

LMAO

[prime tulip]

YES

[wintry ice]

average negative skip

[woeful widget]

fuckkkkk im an idiot. youre right.

[gaunt rapids]

Not diamonds mb, the heart and diamond 3 mult jokers are very similar

[broken notch]

are gifs disallowed?

[still pike]

Get swashbuckler after

[lilac portal]

Nah that would be rental and perishable

[woeful widget]

i already skipped it im an idiot

[gaunt rapids]

Savescum

[woeful widget]

im on blue stake blue deck

[woeful widget]

IMM JUST AN IDIOT

[broken notch]

I don't think it works sadly

[gaunt rapids]

It does

[ancient gyro]

down to 1 hard boss blind 😀

[gaunt rapids]

Unless you don't do it quick enough

[novel rain]

Do wild cards count towards unlocking Rough Gem?

[cursive crater]

shop pool value

[woeful widget]

what might have been...

[gaunt rapids]

If you do it quick enough, it will either put you back into the hand or back into the shop with the pack unpurchased

[drifting gorge]

stonksish???

[broken notch]

ONE DOLLAR

LETS GOOO

[lilac portal]

Or zero

[woeful widget]

INSANE VALUE

[ancient gyro]

since it's not eternal there's no negative ev

[woeful widget]

BUY BUY BUY

[lilac portal]

Because it could cost you interest for that round

[broken notch]

I do think it is not good if you

[broken notch]

yeah

[wintry ice]

sure that's useful

[prime tulip]

I've dreaded this moment

[broken notch]

technically it builds value but only if you're above 25

[drifting gorge]

still good considering it was my first shop but like lmao

[broken notch]

it's gonna cost you interest

[lilac portal]

It's going to functionally do nothing except spawnblock more golden jokers

[drifting gorge]

40% chance for 1$ 60% chance for nothing lost unless i have that stonks joker

[broken notch]

true

[prime tulip]

Does obelisk reset when all of your "most played hands" are even across the board? Like for example high card and pair are at 1

[drifting gorge]

fairly sure it does

[prime tulip]

Thats exactly why I hate obelisk then

[woeful widget]

is it even worth to get baron atp (ik this build kinda sucks shush)

[lilac portal]

I think it goes by highest value hand

[woeful widget]

p sure yeah

[prime tulip]

How tf is obelisk good then

[cursive crater]

why does observatory exist

[broken notch]

Perkeo moment

[ancient gyro]

yes

[gaunt rapids]

Perkeo

[wintry ice]

there are sources of scoring that are independent from hand type

[ancient gyro]

additional blue seal value

[wintry ice]

you can also use a hand you only play once per round

[lilac portal]

I think if you're at 5 high cards played and play pair #5, obelisk will reset. If you're at 5 pairs and play high card #5, it will not. If you play high card 6, it will I think?

[gaunt rapids]

It's decent whenever, or if you wanna transition to high card if you get a baron

[woeful widget]

uh huh

[cursive crater]

aint that bad game design though creating a voucher for a joker you 99% of the time dont have

[ancient gyro]

because of introducing a scenario that doesn't make sense comparing it to obelisk?

[wintry ice]

what

[lilac portal]

Sucks to use and imo it isn't

[broken notch]

Wait

if blueprint is copying a banana

[wintry ice]

no

[broken notch]

does blueprint have a chance of destroying itself

[lilac portal]

No destroy

[prime tulip]

I refuse to buy that obelisk then

[cursive crater]

pre answered

[broken notch]

On one hand, good. on the other

[drifting gorge]

banana destroy isn't a copyable effect

[broken notch]

it would be so funny

[ancient gyro]

not something that's practical or reasonable on paper

[lilac portal]

Blueprint doesn't copy penalties, it won't copy stuntman's - hand size either

[gaunt rapids]

Why I said decent, like as a negative or whatever

[broken notch]

Oooooh that's true

[prime tulip]

Ok but do I take an eternal space Joker tho

[wintry ice]

observatory is supplementary score for high stake runs

[drifting gorge]

obelisk is really specific but when it works it works well

[wintry ice]

context?

[ancient gyro]

in accordance with the meta, its among the top of its own class

[wintry ice]

it can be good if you don't have a chip generator

[prime tulip]

Manacle and no levels on any hands

[woeful widget]

who bent my guys balatro 🤣

[broken notch]

Question, is omen globe good?

[prime tulip]

Lmao

[gaunt rapids]

Yes

[ancient gyro]

it's ight

[broken notch]

Like if I'm using magic deck to block to get interesting taros...

[ancient gyro]

your value for it will vary so it's just a luxury grab

[lilac portal]

It doesn't necessarily hurt you especially if you already have tarot generation

[woeful widget]

i just hit the batman in love gif

[broken notch]

yeahhhh

[wintry ice]

omen globe is decent

anyways i don't think i can lose to bad draws now

[ancient gyro]

at worst you'll get a black hole spawn

[wintry ice]

and there's no plant too

[cursive crater]

imo crystal ball is better than omen globe

[broken notch]

Or a suit changer

[wintry ice]

leaf is troublesome though

[lilac portal]

Suit changers can be helpful

[wintry ice]

depends on blue seals

[broken notch]

9/10 times they aren't I feel

I always somehow get them late in the run where they do nothing

[wintry ice]

suit changers are most useful for like

[ancient gyro]

well yeah

[wintry ice]

setting up blackboard

[gaunt rapids]

Omen globe carries late game, you can watch any video of Balatro, high runs need that omen globe for spectrals

[wintry ice]

and flush houses

[broken notch]

50/50 though

[ancient gyro]

or a failed aj hit

[wintry ice]

one of the suits has a mediocre money generator and another has a joker that does something half the time

[broken notch]

That's why it doesn't it feel very strong

[prime tulip]

Fellas I struck gold

[broken notch]

Oh, true

It's just the fact that it's a random suit feels very inconsistent

[prime tulip]

Hermit + Hermit + Overstock + Eternal Brainstorm

[lilac portal]

The solution just has to be not using the suit changers you don't want

[prime tulip]

And a (perishable) Oops all sixes on business card

[broken notch]

OH WAIT

nononono

[woeful widget]

gen do i pick up both??

[wintry ice]

which cuts the usage of half of them since they usually just don't help

[ancient gyro]

there are consumables that actively hurt your deck

[broken notch]

I don't measn those, those are goated

I mean this

[shell dagger]

yeah

[ancient gyro]

well sigil stinks for an deck fixing

[shell dagger]

probably instead of splash drunkard

[wintry ice]

sigil is a nothingburger

[shell dagger]

foil stm is so good

[lilac portal]

Oh yeah sigil is bad

[ancient gyro]

it's an afterthought

[broken notch]

Like it's not bad but waht is it good for??

It feels like

pointless?

[lilac portal]

It doesn't do much

[ancient gyro]

a 50 50 hit for black suits

[ancient gyro]

🔥

[broken notch]

Yeah exactly I was "Setting up for blackboard how it's 50/50"

Mb, misscomunicated

[balmy gulch]

Sigil kinda points you in a direction early on and that's it

[ancient gyro]

well

[shell dagger]

tbh having 18 hearts is still better than an unmodified deck even considering chance of getting bb

[cursive crater]

the even more speculative one is ouija i dont think i used it ONCE

[ancient gyro]

that depends on the current suits you draw before using it

[broken notch]

And if you're early on or not. And what suit it gives you

it's just so random it's so unreliable

[shell dagger]

ouija is actually bad most of the time unlike sigil

[dim thicket]

Insane run I had a few days ago that got me 4 new stickers on its own

[cursive crater]

like

[wintry ice]

best possible outcome

and i have no space for this

[broken notch]

Yeah ofc it is, but when you take it, it's meaningful. Sigil is like "Pass" 95% of the time

[cursive crater]

i dont have streamer luck

[wintry ice]

atleast i'm pretty sure i don't

[cursive crater]

im not hitting kings on that

[broken notch]

That's why it's my least favourite spectral

[balmy gulch]

I just had a run where I had more negative jokers than hand size

[broken notch]

it just kinda

[wintry ice]

i don't have enough face cards for it to be better than photo

[broken notch]

does nothing

strategy wise

[dim thicket]

Shop one blueprint let me have an amazing start with the holo and the scaling went binkers enough that I sold it for superposition on the last shop

[lilac portal]

How spicy of a take is "Incantation is worse"?

[shell dagger]

than ouija? fairly

[dim thicket]

Spicy enough to border on objectively incorrect

[broken notch]

Incantation is "ooooo Hologram time"

and that's kinda it

[ancient gyro]

incantation has joker and enhancement use cases at least

[broken notch]

Yeah

[shell dagger]

vampire driver license niche uses

sixth sense 👅

[broken notch]

I much prefer it for the early game than sigil

[ancient gyro]

well yeah

[broken notch]

It's so underwhelming as a spectral

[dim thicket]

I actually think I would take sigil early game more times then incantation but neither is great there so eh

[ancient gyro]

incantation has a better use case early

[wintry ice]

i genuinely don't think ouija would be overpowered without the hand size nerf

[gaunt rapids]

Oujia on painted deck is kinda fun

[ancient gyro]

not rn at least lol

[broken notch]

The only other thing in the game that is comparable to sigil's nothingness is wheel

But at least wheel of nope is funny

[ancient gyro]

what

[novel rain]

Wheel just hit

[lilac portal]

"Let's go gambling"

[broken notch]

yes basically

And yes I know oops no sixes

[dim thicket]

I’m not sure. Having a bunch of cards of the same rank can g give super easy five/for oaks and that could be really bursted

[ancient gyro]

wheel is 12 chips at base ev

[broken notch]

but most times it's the worst option in the pack

[ancient gyro]

lovers

[broken notch]

...second worst option in the pack

[ancient gyro]

empress

[broken notch]

Empress has a use early game to get you out of a sticky situation

[dim thicket]

I think empress is better then wheel

[broken notch]

Def much more reliable than a 1 in 4 chance

[lilac portal]

Empress is actually scoring early on unlike nope.

[broken notch]

and also in jokers you don't want

[gaunt rapids]

Wheels much better to use on plasma

[dim thicket]

At worst you get 2 bucks from selling the planets (if you have space ofc but ur not taking it if you don’t)

[cursive crater]

yeah but poly though

[wintry ice]

easy 4oak setup is at about the same level as like medium imo

[cursive crater]

[pale wolf]

balatro

[ancient gyro]

I'm not grabbing arcana packs in the early game to consider using an "early game" tarot for later

[lilac portal]

Am I confusing empress and high priestess or are you

[dim thicket]

I could see it

[dim thicket]

Wait no I think I’m wrong

My bad

[lapis lion]

what's balatro

[dim thicket]

HP gives planets thats my mistake

[cursive crater]

joker poker balala

[broken notch]

If there is an empress and a wheel and a lovers in an arcana pack empress is what I would grab early game

It's literally more value

[dim thicket]

Either way tho I still think empress is better then wheel

[ancient gyro]

you're not going to realistically use conditional scoring options in the portion of the game where you're not going to spend pack money

[lilac portal]

Still both usually not great pack options. Best scenarios for HP are campfire and constellation

[wintry ice]

hilarious pranks to pull on your friends!

[ancient gyro]

problem is that requires you to open arcana packs before ante 3

which is not frequent

or ideal money management

[wintry ice]

i'd consider empress and a quarter of a foil to be equivalent

wheel also buffs temperance a bit

[robust lance]

Yeah but I was never money smart

[wintry ice]

welp

[ancient gyro]

and is unconditional scoring

[ancient gyro]

the zebra incident

[wintry ice]

welp

[ancient gyro]

oh

[broken notch]

it's better than a standard pack if you have 4 dollars lying around for interest

[ancient gyro]

what

[wintry ice]

there's a non-zero chance i die to not taking the celestial pack

[wintry ice]

?

[broken notch]

If you have 14 dollars and the reroll is 5, there's nothing good in the shop, and there's an arcana pack and a standard pack

[ancient gyro]

I skip

[desert reef]

I just bought this game and I gotta say.. it is addicting

[fringe nebula]

yeah but you can reach $25 faster by saving money

[wintry ice]

i'd just go next unless i'm going to die on the next round

[ancient gyro]

if I have vagabond I open both and look for different things

[broken notch]

Yes, that's what I mean

[wintry ice]

how hard is parking to manage with runner

i think i'll also take jupiter for survival

[ancient gyro]

its
better later on

early game I wouldn't keep it around

[fringe nebula]

rental too

[wintry ice]

i think i'll take it for 1 round

[ancient gyro]

keep it until you get to negative ev

[wintry ice]

and i still think i'm gonna take jupiter

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[wintry ice]

i probably should limit myself to 1 straight per round with runner

if i don't have +mult

because i keep greeding it

[ancient gyro]

i try to find the scoring hand first before the scaling hand

[wintry ice]

well i got a bus on the next seed

[ancient gyro]

oh

[lament condor]

is el duo worth it?

[glad viper]

idk

[ancient gyro]

sure

[lament condor]

but idk what i could put it over

[shell dagger]

stuntman potentially

it’s likely more than 2x rn but limits your ability to play and discard pairs

[lament condor]

i do have a few stone cards

ima replace stuntman

[tropic sluice]

lowkey i might be cooked
(the ancient is on hearts)
(holo and yorick both 5x)
also i used the magician on the queen and jack

also this was my best run i feel

[novel rain]

Getting early Yorick made this run really easy

[wintry ice]

wow that's just what i needed

[rancid niche]

Oh well

Just your regular gold stake run

[ancient gyro]

oh you died 🥀

[shell dagger]

Take jimbo and copy it with perkeo

[wintry ice]

i did say next seed

[rancid niche]

My plan

[wintry ice]

also i got xmult

[fringe nebula]

you have source of chips, and you have scaling mult. i would replace burnt honestly

[rancid niche]

Seeing double isn't bad

[wintry ice]

i took swash thinking it was a mega buffoon pack

am i stupid

[ancient gyro]

oh

[wintry ice]

🥀

[fringe nebula]

aren't we all

[calm furnace]

i wish swash counted itself

[fringe nebula]

that would be a nice buff

[shell dagger]

it could

it could

[prime tulip]

Playing a spare trousers game

[shell dagger]

with 8 mimes and a red seal

[ancient gyro]

we have the current technology to make that happen

[prime tulip]

Finally got a good start on my black deck

[shell dagger]

each king gives 57x mult

[ancient gyro]

oh

[shell dagger]

good start

[prime tulip]

Fr

[shell dagger]

oh you already said that

[prime tulip]

I've been playing for like an hour and I got a good run

[glad viper]

show us the run

[glad viper]

ah

[shell dagger]

imo it’s best to not focus on green here but andolth may say otherwise

[ancient gyro]

it's the 3rd round relax

[prime tulip]

I sold green for interest

[fringe nebula]

yeah

[ancient gyro]

yeah you can ignore it

[lament condor]

i love eternal egg

[fringe nebula]

pants don't go well with grimbo anyway

[ancient gyro]

bus you don't buy

yeah and

ok

[prime tulip]

Interest capped atm

Hermy go br

[unborn cliff]

why the fuck did you sell grimbo

[prime tulip]

Interest

[lament condor]

erratic deck is actually pretty fun

[fringe nebula]

pants don't go well with grimbo methinks

[prime tulip]

[ancient gyro]

it's fine, more overall score

[lament condor]

what sleeve would be fun with erratic

[fringe nebula]

please eradicate your existence from this world

[ancient gyro]

all you're missing is mister obbylicks

[lament condor]

4oak time

[lofty sapphire]

guess who didnt draw a 6 :^D

[glad viper]

me

[prime tulip]

Oof

Thats tough

[lament condor]

we obviously take BOTH poly skip tags here

watch this

[unborn cliff]

well you're rude

[prime tulip]

PANTSS

Mine are holographic tho

[fringe nebula]

eh, you can skip imo

especially when you really need to keep that one perishable joker to win ante 8

[lament condor]

never punished i love vampire

[calm furnace]

why is your deck half half

[unborn cliff]

cardsleeves......

[hasty onyx]

Should i take card sharp or acrobat

[lament condor]

mod

[unborn cliff]

card sharp

[prime tulip]

Card sharp

[lament condor]

wait could i make a flower pot work in painted erratic deck

[hasty onyx]

I accidentally clicked on your profile the fuck was that

[unborn cliff]

thinking emoji

[prime tulip]

Lmao

First mistake

[ancient gyro]

wanna give it a go

[lament condor]

"don't take negative skip tags!" translating... "im too scared to get the negative baron mime"

[fringe nebula]

ok but

[fringe nebula]

play gold stake

[lament condor]

i have most of them done

[unborn cliff]

have you beaten red stake before

[lament hornet]

I take every negative skip tag and if I don't get anything good I hold R.

[ancient gyro]

but my win streak 💔

[lament hornet]

I don't get win streaks I hold R.

[fringe nebula]

my win streaks always get ruined by black deck anyway

time to have fun

[lament hornet]

It's a game about clowns the gif don't got the same oomph

[unborn cliff]

my god

[broken notch]

welp

[prime tulip]

Im not mad, youre mad

🙁

[fringe nebula]

nah

[unborn cliff]

folk

[fringe nebula]

the real strat is skipping

and keep perishable baron

[ancient gyro]

my current aspirations is to beat brookes 7 win streak record

which one

that's not a win streak

[hasty onyx]

Fuck the eye man i just made my scoring rely on card sharp

[ancient gyro]

no not really

[eager totem]

Finally naneinf on mobile 🤣

[grand lynx]

mamamea waho yahahahhehehehea

[ancient gyro]

besides there's a hard floating point for money since it can't reach a certain number without inputs not registering

[fringe nebula]

you just mindlessly copy golden ticket over and over again with blueprint and brainstorm

gold stake ws has more thoughts into it

[shell dagger]

congrats big willie

[fringe nebula]

gg

[eager totem]

Bet

[grand lynx]

ANTE 28 ICANT GET TO ANTE 8

[shell dagger]

my money record is over 10k and it really is just mindless

burglar sock ticket

[ancient gyro]

[ancient gyro]

on gold stake

[shell dagger]

26k actually

[ancient gyro]

any deck works

[fringe nebula]

[shell dagger]

[fringe nebula]

highscore resets after naneinf yeah

[ancient gyro]

[shell dagger]

“you like to be broke huh”

can be phrased as a question

[raw whale]

bets on die trying

[calm furnace]

balatro a simple game you sell square and you win

[midnight forum]

The number of times I've actually won like this is pretty high but still occasionally do you get something like this and I want to cry

[shell dagger]

both my parents died in a car crash 4 years before i was born

[ancient gyro]

you asked for a money record, i provided a similar output

rule 1 asked

[tropic sluice]

best cryptid run so far

[shell dagger]

#⚙・modding-general

yuuup. Somehow there's nothing wrong if you don't buy any jokers but still complete r1 and r2, but somehow if you skip both you immediately die

[fringe nebula]

find tarot generator

[prime tulip]

Prolly was gonna be chicot tho

[exotic glade]

tarot generator??

[broken notch]

It's just for the achievement right?

Magic deck

reroll until you get death in an arcana pack

copy death twice

Find a 3oak

profit

OOHHH wait is five flush

not 5oak

yeah then tarots

I think magic deck if you don't plan to win

[ancient gyro]

you missed an a

[exotic glade]

flush five im missing

[broken notch]

The floating chair is really kicking my ass today 😭

[ancient gyro]

💔

[fringe nebula]

you want some tarots to get a flush five

purple seal, hallucination, cartomancer, vagabond, 8ball, purple seal, anything superposition not invited

[exotic glade]

ty

[solid rock]

same

[raw whale]

I'M SO STUPID

[ancient gyro]

cert

[raw whale]

i literally forgot to play high card

[exotic glade]

oh uh, i dont have certificate

[broken notch]

I'd say magic deck because it'll make managing the taros to use them in one hand easier

[broken notch]

Focus on unlocking all the jokers first

[unreal topaz]

i mean zodiac is more consistent for that

[broken notch]

True

[ancient gyro]

same (planet tycoon and some bullshit)

[unreal topaz]

strength/death and a suit changer works

eventually

[broken notch]

LMAO

[exotic glade]

holy CONFUSING

[raw whale]

what is this start lol

[ancient gyro]

my dumbass forgot the pic

[fringe nebula]

which part?

[exotic glade]

[broken notch]

It's trib and illusion

[exotic glade]
