[pastel pagoda]

What if we completely reworked blue seals

[rich mauve]

just make it give the most played hand

or last one

[rancid gull]

To what

[rich mauve]

idk

[pastel pagoda]

And made it so if the card with the blue seal is played and scored

[frank grove]

big hands are never going to be the most played usually

[pastel pagoda]

It comes back to your hand

[rancid gull]

No

[frank grove]

you have to use some hands sometimes to discard to find those bigger hands

[rich mauve]

then make it last hand

surely the last hand you played is a big one

[rancid gull]

I want the planet aspect still

[frank grove]

no, you usually are one shotting with a bigger hand like straights or 4oak

[pastel pagoda]

Yeah I guess it was removed for a reason

[ebon condor]

fine lets swap red and gold seals

[frank grove]

if it carries across rounds then sure that could work

[ebon condor]

none of you seem to like any of my ideas :/

[rancid gull]

What does that even mean

You get 6 bucks now?

[somber whale]

Yo guys Im back
If I just hard copy my cryptids is it ok for me to take a 3rd ecto and hopefully let a showman lead me to a bp/bs

[terse vale]

?

[pastel pagoda]

I think you will be fine if you do it

Not sure if its the right play or not tho

[somber whale]

Why not

I feel like if I’m making 6 cryptids each turn

I’ll be fine

[ebon condor]

red seals now trigger when the card is scored and gold seals trigger when the card is triggered

[somber whale]

Plus I have a dna so I can get 6 copies of any card

[ebon condor]

whats not to understand

[errant bolt]

what happens if dagger attempts to destroy an eternal joker

[somber whale]

It won’t destroy

[pastel pagoda]

I think nothing

[errant bolt]

interesting

[neon mural]

Uhhh can someone assist? I cleared the serpent before I could naneinf...

[somber whale]

Yo so you think it’s fine?

[somber whale]

Get the directors cut evo

[pastel pagoda]

Yeah probably

[somber whale]

Ty

[neon mural]

I already have it

but im copying burglar only and I still cleared it

is my 37 levels of high card fucking me

[pastel pagoda]

Just keep going

[wary ore]

What held me back from getting higher?

[pastel pagoda]

Untill you are able to naneinf with what you have

[ebon condor]

as long as you hit it by a32 youll be fine

[neon mural]

like keep RRing boss blinds as I go up?

[pastel pagoda]

Yeah

Just make sure to do it before ante 16 24 or 32

[terse vale]

should have just said that

its like saying “hey lets swap lovers and magician”

[neon mural]

yeah im only on 26

[ebon condor]

well this was the established convention through the previous conversation

so

[wary ore]

Someone have some tip of why the damage was bad? What was I missing?

[pastel pagoda]

Never have I seen someone who calls it damage

Also your copies were missplaced

One blueprint should have been on mime

One on baron

[wary ore]

2 baron and 2 mime is better than 3 baron and 1 mime?

[terse vale]

that doesn’t mean its not confusing for anyone just coming in

[pastel pagoda]

With red seal steel king yes

[wary ore]

Why is that

So I understand

[pastel pagoda]

Math

Ok so

With 3 barons and 1 mime

And red seal steel king

you get like

[exotic mica]

whered it go

[pastel pagoda]

12 1.5xs

if im not wrong

with 2 on baron and 2 on mime

[lyric karma]

Why

[pastel pagoda]

Yeah im too bad at math to answer it

[wary ore]

Hmm

Haha

[pastel pagoda]

But as far as I remember its better

[woven spire]

fucking game.

[pastel pagoda]

Holon lemme just google it

[wary ore]

Cuz I was just looking at how often each thing would proc, and the baron procced way more than the mime did

[lyric karma]

i felt that too

[wary ore]

Appreciate you

[lapis sage]

Does anyone know why my Balatro account on ps5 doesn’t save if I log in on my account on another ps5? It starts a new user automatically

[desert pebble]

"enjoy your pairslop!"

[pastel pagoda]

Oh nevermind im stupid

Its the same thing

[ebon condor]

credit card in buffoon

[neon mural]

what mod is this for the effects? pretty sick

[pastel pagoda]

Say it with him folks!

[wary ore]

Hmm

I’m doing math now

Let me see

Lmao

[split vine]

You ever need a showman so your showman showman a showman

[ebon condor]

common showman L

[pastel pagoda]

Hey it was useful

You got a shiny showman

[split vine]

Task failed succesfully

[heady fable]

Time for quad showman pivot

I would get the poly chrome one just cause funny

[split vine]

Already did

Also poly on showman is good since you can still take ecto

I already took 1 in this run but still cool

[wary ore]

Yup, same exact thing. Dangit.

[dire crater]

Its really useful having more than 1 showman?

[pastel pagoda]

I find it kinda funny that blueprint think giving 4 dollars at the end of the round is an impossible task but can easily give you a double tag when sold

[pastel pagoda]

Yes

[wary ore]

How the hell can the jokers get any better though

[pastel pagoda]

Because you can get more showman

[wary ore]

I guess bad negs?

[pastel pagoda]

Ectoplasms

And showmen

Thats about it

[small needle]

THIS TIME I WONT LOSE

[wary ore]

Yea

[woven spire]

woah.

[pastel pagoda]

Throw in some good vouchers in there

[wary ore]

I ectoplasmrd and it went on the DNA

[pastel pagoda]

Why is everything so purple

[woven spire]

purple?

[ebon condor]

resource pack

[shell dagger]

rip

[small needle]

Lezduit

[pastel pagoda]

"Hmmmm I wonder where my wee went"
The suspiciously wee shaped flipped face down joker:

[neon mural]

ITS ALL OVER

[pastel pagoda]

Congrats dude

[neon mural]

this took way too long goddamn

[quartz sail]

Welcome to the naneinf club, enjoy your stay

[neon mural]

I guess the only thing I have left to do is reach a39

[static fern]

yall eating boiled eggs

[static fern]

Is that ReShade

??

[cosmic sun]

balatro except it makes the pixel art worse

[tranquil steppe]

wtf

[cosmic sun]

sus ass image bro

[slow grail]

Just got 2 more gold stickers. Guess the last joker I have to gold sticker.

[frank grove]

Im guessing stone joker

[neon mural]

Thats what I was gonna say lol

[ebon condor]

its always stone joker

[neon mural]

lemme find my last one

[ebon condor]

universal c++ experience

[small needle]

hi

[neon mural]

My last joker was Hiker for c++

[slow grail]

Wow

[proven vault]

my first non-plasma naneinf :D

[slow grail]

you are correct it's Stone Joker

Glad I'm not alone in this

[frank grove]

its always stone joker

[neon mural]

yeah its a pretty standard one lmao

https://i.imgur.com/jv18OUG.png

These were my last 5

[ebon condor]

raise your hand if stone was your last joker for c++!!!

[mossy mulch]

Does anyone else just occasionally nuke their perfect run by confusing the Play and Discard buttons?

[slow grail]

My last 3 were Wee, Burnt, Devious, and the only one left is Stone Joker

[frank grove]

my first c++ was stone my second time around it was glass joker

[ebon condor]

oh wtf hi bitcoin baron

[tranquil steppe]

Question - what happens if you’re holding every planet (or at least 7/9 (assuming you haven’t gotten the other 3 during the current run), and then you go buy a planet pack? This assumes you don’t have showman. Would it just be 2 planets? And if you are holding 9/9, would the planet pack be empty? I believe this could only ever be possible with perkeo and keeping the negative copy of each planet to get more than the 2 slots you have by default

[neon mural]

Sometimes I misclick a discard and instead of grabbing the last card I want to discard I de-select one of my already selected ones and only discard 3 cards instead of 5

[neon mural]

id assume it would just be black hole

[ebon condor]

goes to pluto as w failsafe

[slow grail]

It's Pluto

just like how it cycles back to Blank when you get all vouchers

[ebon condor]

every card type has a failsafe

[tranquil steppe]

Interesting

[tranquil steppe]

This would be cooler lol

[slow grail]

ugh now I have to hunt for Stone Joker
I swear no I keep adding at least a stone card to my deck every run but it never shows up

[ebon condor]

jokers is Jimbo, planets is pluto, tarots is strength (used to be fool), vouchers is blank, but i forgot what it is for spectrals

is it aura?

[tranquil steppe]

Stone joker is a little bitch. That was my last joker to gold sticker too. Good luck!!!!

[slow grail]

Looking at the Stone Joker wiki page made me realized Cryptid can't be used on a Stone card. Huh, today I learned.

[neon mural]

Honestly stones probably easier on plasma

[ebon condor]

what??

[slow grail]

wait nvm I misread

[neon mural]

im pretty sure you can cryptid a stone card lol

[ebon condor]

ok yeah that makes more sense

[woven spire]

plant is next blind

ionno what to do

[ebon condor]

glass card

[woven spire]

didnt see any

[ebon condor]

stanard packs

[frank grove]

there are two standard packs right there

[woven spire]

true...

not a single one.

[frank grove]

well

[slow grail]

I have been playing exclusively Ghost deck gold stake for so long it feels weird going to Plasma to hunt for the Stone Joker to gold sticker

I've been passively grinding C++ for several months lmao

[tranquil steppe]

I got him on anaglyph

[woven spire]

bupint.

[slow grail]

Once I get C++, I can play this game for fun again until the new update

[pastel harbor]

hey y’all, been working on a 2x upscale of every card in balatro, feel free to ask any questions

[woven spire]

looks great

[pastel harbor]

will post more later

[woven spire]

please do

[slow grail]

Anyone else sees Judgement card as a laser beam from an alien ship instead of the angel Gabriel blowing his horn

[modern horizon]

Just sharing a funny thing that happen to me, I started a new profile for fun ... Took me some time figuring out how this happen hehe

[vocal rose]

did you play zodiac deck

[modern horizon]

Yeah Zodiac

I was like WTF hahaha

Also try this, it doesn't make infinite money ... It didn't copy the 2/2 ready for sell hahaha

[bleak escarp]

im neww and i want to know, is this a good start?

[sullen aspen]

looks clean

[sullen aspen]

half joker is doing nothing for u rn

and put smiley face before photograph

[bleak escarp]

why?

[upbeat burrow]

Next level hatred from idol

[sullen aspen]

u are playing straights because of the shortcut

and knowing that

half joker is basically hindered useless

[bleak escarp]

ok

[lyric karma]

Atrocious luck

[upbeat burrow]

Survived it htw

[slow grail]

IVRGSPI7
Blueprint and Chad in Mega Buffoon pack of ante 1 but I died because gold stake

[austere rain]

Average ghost deck gold stake run

[sullen aspen]

square joker carried

[austere rain]

Just long enough for me to get online, so we take it

[upbeat burrow]

Welp dead couldn't find a sock and buskin in time

[cursive crater]

i see it as a present package

[brave goblet]

what's the tarot default

[trail dune]

Can a sixth sense generate a soul?

[cursive crater]

no

[trail dune]

thx

[royal shale]

strength

[pulsar rune]

Black deck gold stake can go ahead and die in a hole, I’ve only attempted it about 20 times now and I’m already sick of it

[pulsar rune]

Somehow just fumbled with natural negative vampire, golden ticket and Midas because I kept drawing exactly 4 of each suit

[modern horizon]

Don't be scare to reset and get a decent skip early on if you struggle.

Ex. +25gold, try to survive and get decent joker on ante 2 for exemple and you get a solide start to help you out.

If you struggle to much, don't be scare to reset.

[pulsar rune]

I think I might try that, I keep looking for a decent shop 1 joker but because of the reduced handset the money barely snowballs

Much better lol

[patent silo]

i dont know how, but i win this xD

[modern horizon]

That's LITTERALY how I beat my very first gold black deck.

Keep the "real struggle" for your 2nd gold deck run hehe.

Sign someone who did C++ too often 🤣

[pulsar rune]

This is my last stake for C+, and then I finally get to stop torturing myself with bad decks and work on joker seals

[woven spire]

chat i barely get to the scoring do i open the pack or greed for rebate

[robust lance]

Why is everything covered in Vaseline

[woven spire]

why not

[robust lance]

It looks weird

[woven spire]

i like it

[heavy heron]

YOOOOO I SURVIVED HOLYY BAD RUN

@patent sail the flowerpot holding me at gunpoint actually saved me

[brave goblet]

I dunno what I was expecting but it wasn't that

[heady fable]

Just beat blue steak with 88 mult erosion, 3 duos, and a perkeo

[jovial copper]

i finally did it

[vocal rose]

now for c++

[jovial copper]

got it with a ridiculous run involving shoot the moon and perkeo which copied death

[fringe nebula]

shoot the moon perkeo steel build

[jovial copper]

ya

[glad viper]

good joberth

[pulsar rune]

Which deck did you do last

[jovial copper]

green deck because i dont like its gimmick

[frank grove]

close one

[woven spire]

here,win

[olive fiber]

Hello!!!

[glossy mortar]

Alright I’ve been trying at it for 4 hours now and am finally throwing in the towel.

Gold Stake Checkered Deck is too hard for me.

The issue is as usual. Money. There is no income to be seen for miles.

I had a +600 chips castle by the end of it and over 40 mult on both supernova and swashbuckler with a duo and still it’s not enough.

[proper pollen]

yo imagine if I whiff the ante 2 yorick

[frank grove]

cloud 9 ?

[proper pollen]

8 ball

[frank grove]

8 ball is common

[proper pollen]

it is an uncommon gem for the likes of myself

[glossy mortar]

Anyways. With checkered deemed undoable, I’m gonna go for abandoned now. See if I can manage that. It’s a much harder start requiring 4x more restarting to get a start, but usually it has a stronger finish.

[proper pollen]

cool, I finally got the 'rick rolling

[cunning creek]

6th sense?

[weary depot]

How i got there is a miracle

[frank grove]

yeah sixth sense is probably the only other one i can think of

[proper pollen]

6 sense is good though

[frank grove]

kinda rare to keep until ante 8 boss though

same with cloud 9 usually you replace them with x mult unless you have bbc

[south flower]

How dovi ksdlfd

[sage bough]

Stil tryna get Chicot so I'm playing Ghost Deck

My pfp reflects my feelings

[vocal rose]

why do you play ghost deck to obtain chicot?

[sage bough]

More spectral cards i dunno

[vocal rose]

the soul cannot appear in the shop

[sage bough]

Then what deck should I use

[vocal rose]

if you're trying to gold sticker it then use the deck that will bring a win consistently

or as consistently as possible

like blue deck or yellow deck

[sage bough]

I'm trying to FIND Chicot

[vale mist]

as someone who likes to experiment with "unbeatable" high stakes runs would you mind sharing some seeds that you come across from time to time

[sage bough]

Chicot is the LAST Joker I need

[vocal rose]

I'd use yellow then

so you can get interest cap quickly and open every pack

[exotic mica]

why is my game so slow 💔

[sage bough]

Ok

[glossy mortar]

I mean sure. Why not.

[fringe nebula]

i was at $300 before vessel and rerolled to find sly/wrathful/clever

didn't find them unfortunately

[vale mist]

neat feel free to ping me with what you find and I'll take a look when I have time

[fringe nebula]

1P5YBAPC

[wanton magnet]

Chicot mentioned

[rancid gull]

Chicot

❤️

[fringe nebula]

chicot and luchador

[rancid gull]

Oh I’m having such a bad day

But then chicot tells me to smile again

I’m happy

[sage bough]

How tf did I start this run with 3 Holographic cards, and then Riff Raff gives me a Foil card

[wanton magnet]

Plant haters experiencing the warm and loving embrace of chicot as he holds them in his arms, gives them a little kiss and reminds them that everything will be alright... because hes here

[sage bough]

And then next round I get another Holographic card

[rancid gull]

He says to me, “come into my arms my child”

[fringe nebula]

i think luchador exudes more aura than chicot ngl

[sage bough]

You wish

[rancid gull]

It’s like that picture of the soldier wit all the daggers

[sage bough]

You're just hating on Chicot cuz you know he's better

[knotty zodiac]

so chicot is like the mama bird that never pushes its children out of the nest

[wanton magnet]

If chicot has 1000000 fans im one of them
If chicot has 100 fans im one of them
If chicot has 1 fan im one of them
If chicot has 0 fans then I have died

[rancid gull]

Luchador does sacrifice himself for the greater good

So I can see the aura

[fringe nebula]

chicot is better yes, but luchador has more aura

like, finding him in the shop and carrying him for 6 antes straight to find that one boss to disable is more aura than chicot

[rancid gull]

How much aura does Mr bones have

[fringe nebula]

as much as luchador, or maybe more

[wanton magnet]

No, chicot can only be described as love and compassion because that is what he does, he doesnt score yes, he doesnt copy, but he protects you, he shields you because even if he cant help you hell always be there for you

[rancid gull]

Mr bones has saved two of my runs

Forever greatful

I love skipping to the boss blind

And winning anyways

[fringe nebula]

so much aura from these two

[sage bough]

This is Round 3 bro

[knotty zodiac]

theres nothing quite like finding mr bones on the last roll before an otherwise unwinnable ante

[sage bough]

4 holographics and a foil

[robust lance]

Riff raff doing spine breaking carrying

[frail pilot]

Chicot be nonchalant tho

[rancid gull]

How I wish my gold stake black deck runs would go

[sage bough]

L

[robust lance]

You’d die by ante 3 somehow

[fringe nebula]

everyone loves black deck earlygame

it's the most fun part of black deck

[robust lance]

Black deck gave me the mentality of if I’m not oneshotting blinds I’m failing

(So did golden needle)

[patent sail]

Golden needle is eternal suffering squared

[fringe nebula]

it's amazing how black deck forces you to make moves that are good for the short term but bad in the long term

[proper pollen]

worth selling a mime for the oops?

[frank grove]

probably

[lyric karma]

show deck

[fringe nebula]

yes

also, $3 at ante 3 cringe

[fringe nebula]

save more money

[robust lance]

No it’s bloodstone

[frank grove]

WHAT

[proper pollen]

unfixed basically

[frank grove]

why do you even have the mimes

[lyric karma]

Sell a mime totally

[robust lance]

Investing

[lyric karma]

On what yo

[frank grove]

one mime sure, but two??

[proper pollen]

I got an ankh on a spectral and I didnt have anything better to dupe

[sage bough]

Sell all your jokers

[robust lance]

Future steels

[proper pollen]

and golds and blue seal

[fringe nebula]

i mean

[lyric karma]

I guess bro

[fringe nebula]

you could take mime early and start looking for devil and steel immediately

[proper pollen]

yeah I just havent pulled any

[lyric karma]

basically, sell one mime

[proper pollen]

yeah

would you take an eternal lusty with oops blood?

[lyric karma]

i guess not

if you want only ante 8 take it, if endless then no

[proper pollen]

yeah im trying to get blue deck to gold stake

[olive fiber]

First try on blue deck white stake!

[lyric karma]

Nice

[fading valve]

Has there been an update on the situation with the physical edition not getting the Switch 2 version for free like the digital one?

[woven spire]

-.......

[still pike]

Win?

I got one use left on seltzer

[proper pollen]

ok this run is it

[fringe nebula]

absolutely, as long as you find an xmult joker

[lyric karma]

my gold stake runs are probably cursed

in the last 10 ones havent got a single decent xmult joker

[fringe nebula]

i know that feeling really well

[proper pollen]

just pull ante 1 yorick

[prisma relic]

Is this a sign of skill

[lyric karma]

so your the one who was stealing them from me?????

[lyric karma]

i guess?

[fringe nebula]

playing a high card build on gold stake is not something noobs would do

i can say that

[proper pollen]

16 high cards implies to me that they only used them for bus riding

[faint linden]

For the Challenges, should I target Omelette, Rich Get Richer, X-ray, Non-Perishable, or Double or Nothing next?

[lyric karma]

Rich get richer is pretty easy

i started from there

[faint linden]

I completed everything else on page 1 that I didn't list

Medusa taught me pairslop

[foggy iron]

Good evening chat, can i ask some help? I'm brainstorming (no pun intended) a plan

[still pike]

Win?

[fringe nebula]

what plan

[fringe nebula]

replace brainstorm with an uncommon joker

you'll have more score

[foggy iron]

So, I'm assuming the achievements on ps5 are the same as steam, correct?
I'm currently working on 100% the game (for platinum you need c++) and i want the easier, smaller trophies out of the way
What's the strat for ROI? (4 vouchers by ante 4)

[ebon condor]

yellow deck for econ prolly

[foggy iron]

And get lucky with tags?

[knotty zodiac]

easier if you land a hieroglyph

[ebon condor]

or heiro

[foggy iron]

Does it have to be stage 2 vouchers too? Or only stage 1

[still pike]

Lost

[foggy iron]

For example, i can buy blank and anti matter and it counts as 2?

[proper pollen]

chromed up

[foggy iron]

Yo, Rick

[fringe nebula]

i would say plasma deck

[proper pollen]

we got that Rick Rollin 😎

[fringe nebula]

instead of yellow

plasma deck white stake is the easiest for roi probably

[foggy iron]

Oh god, it's actually 5 vouchers by ante 4

[foggy iron]

Cause 1 shot the blinds?

[twin lantern]

@ancient gyro
How do you play Shoot The Moon even?

[fringe nebula]

you just find 2 chips jokers and look for voucher tag

[fringe nebula]

steel

and red seal

mime if lucky

[foggy iron]

And Baron

[fringe nebula]

but you usually you don't get a mime

[twin lantern]

Is it viable at all

I never pick it at all cuz it doesn't feel tangible

[foggy iron]

Are you trying to gold sticker it?

[twin lantern]

No I'm just curious, I never used it lol

[fringe nebula]

funny

[foggy iron]

Ah, if it was gold sticker I'd tell you to play anaglyph 🤣

[twin lantern]

This is Black Stake so it's no big deal

Anaglyph for what?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[knotty zodiac]

it can sometimes be your only source of +mult early antes

[twin lantern]

To do the Negative Tag skip?

[prisma relic]

Oh I played 4 of a kind I just did alot of high cards for ride the bus

[twin lantern]

I don't believe in that

[foggy iron]

Negative tag, yes

LMAO

[fringe nebula]

fair

[twin lantern]

What who's Xing me

[prisma relic]

What I learned from gold staking black deck is that I never want to play black deck again

[twin lantern]

Anaglyph Negative is ass

LOL

[serene forge]

negative tag is trash

[foggy iron]

You think I'm really going to carry a cola with me till ante 8...? Hell nah

[twin lantern]

I just played Ghost Deck like a normal person

[foggy iron]

I'm getting 10 negative tags so i can c++ lmao

[twin lantern]

And popped Ectos every now and then

[woven spire]

funny.

[serene forge]

baseball card

[prisma relic]

Ghost deck and abandonded deck are my 2 goats

[serene forge]

also thats a non issue you don't need all 5 slots to win

[prisma relic]

red deck is fire too

[foggy iron]

Yeah, but for c++ I'm running anaglyph deck

[twin lantern]

Here's my countercase:

[serene forge]

why

[prisma relic]

I gotta work on getting c++\

[twin lantern]

Maybe when you have half the stickers left or more, that's worth it

[serene forge]

you would progress faster by using an actual good deck

[twin lantern]

But very soon you just hit diminishing returns

[foggy iron]

Checkered deck

[twin lantern]

Cuz you're just going to get repeat jokers

[foggy iron]

🤭

[twin lantern]

For no benefits

[fringe nebula]

it's not an enjoyable way of getting c++

[serene forge]

anaglyph negatives don't work beyond like 50 stickers

there's so many problems with it

[twin lantern]

The best and most reliable way

[fringe nebula]

trust me, you'll have more fun doing c++ on blue, yellow, checkered or magic deck

[twin lantern]

Is to learn to play down 1 or 2 jokers

On your favorite deck

[serene forge]

or abandoned

actual good decks

[foggy iron]

I'll first focus on the gold stake decks and then the challenges

[twin lantern]

I did Ghost Deck cuz I like it

[serene forge]

what's important is that you win

[twin lantern]

But you could do every deck you were told

If I were trying to do the meta

I'd do Abandoned

[serene forge]

so you can actually bring jokers to the end to sticker

[twin lantern]

Abandoned's reduced size makes everything work

[trail pier]

new best gold stake run for me :3

[twin lantern]

Except Photochad but who cares about that right

[foggy iron]

I can't play straights tho

[proper pollen]

abandoned is great for straights isnt it

[foggy iron]

I'm a lesbian

[fringe nebula]

then go try it

fail, and learn, and get better

[serene forge]

same

[glossy mortar]

Alright I’m giving up on abandoned deck now too. Even the strongest most powerful straight build I’ve ever made is no match for late game. It’s insane because for all the games I’ve played in the now 5 hours straight I’ve been playing, it almost never dies ante 1-2 anymore. The issue is ante 6-8. There is no possible way to scale enough without either money or xmult and there isn’t enough ways to get them in the game.

[fringe nebula]

skill issue????

[foggy iron]

Ride the bus?

Runner?

Shortcut?

Blue seal???

[glossy mortar]

I had the most powerful runner of my life. Literally over 200 chips on him. It’s not enough.

[foggy iron]

What about seals?

[serene forge]

runner is not a straight joker

[twin lantern]

If you're dying on A6-A8 then your problem isn't the limitations of Abandoned Deck

[fringe nebula]

give me seed

[twin lantern]

You're just not scaling well enough into the late game

[foggy iron]

runner is not a straight joker
give me seed

This game without context is amazing

[woven spire]

sad

[fringe nebula]

seed is a common gaming term

so i disagree

[foggy iron]

Offer varv your seed

[glossy mortar]

Yeah with some insane rng maybe. I’m done for today. 5 hours with dying non stop ante 6-8 is so draining.

[proper pollen]

its possible that you are simply not very good at the game

[foggy iron]

From your run i mean

[glossy mortar]

THERE ARE NO PLANET CARDS!!!!!

[foggy iron]

Maybe you also need Chicot, the best legendary

[foggy iron]

Blue seal

[knotty zodiac]

post seed

[glossy mortar]

I opened every single planet pack i could afford. I tried so hard for blue seal. I only got to level 5 strights.

Like genuinelly I’m so tired of people saying stupid shit like that

[proper pollen]

the rick genuinely affording me 96x right now

[foggy iron]

Rick needs discards to be helpful
Chicot just helps without condition, who really is the real chad here

[proper pollen]

trvth nvke

[twin lantern]

Rick is that guy that always turns you down when you invite him to hang out

But when he comes it's great

[glossy mortar]

I regret not saving that seed so I could beat you people over the head with how insane it was.

[serene forge]

if you're not finding exactly what you want then you should probably try to be more flexible

[glossy mortar]

Like I’ve never seeen that few saturns in my life.

[twin lantern]

I love Straights, they're unironically my favorite build in the game

[fringe nebula]

ikr

[frank grove]

then why stick with straights did you have shortcut?

[proper pollen]

the chigoat is the most reliable carry card in the game

[twin lantern]

Also yeah what they're telling you

[serene forge]

also

again

[twin lantern]

Why are you so fixated on Straights?

[proper pollen]

it doesnt matter what if you have the chigoat your run is basically guaranteed to succeed

[serene forge]

you had runner

you probably should've been playing pairs

[twin lantern]

Kind of weird considering how many queer people are here

(I'm queer don't beat me up)

[foggy iron]

See? You get me 🔥

[twin lantern]

Shoot The Moon maybe good?

[serene forge]

what jokers did you even have other than runner

[foggy iron]

Just copy golden joker with blueprint and brainstorm, ez

[glossy mortar]

I hate teem so much. More than any other hand. They are so unreliable. Yet even when I had a deck rigged to the 9’s for them. I’m talking I had enough cards to play 4 straights reliably every single hand i was so deck fixed. It wasn’t enough. Strights just done scale without planets. And there is no way to get planets reliably

[sharp plank]

Very good

[ancient gyro]

mercuries or any non stuntman chip joker

[proper pollen]

yes because golden stacks with other jokers such as delayed grat, green, bandit etc but rebate cant

[frank grove]

i mean running straights with runner is kinda bad, straights dont really lack chips they more so lack mult or x mult most of the time

[ancient gyro]

it's average with high card draw variance early on

[proper pollen]

trvth nvke

because then you can get two showmans

[sharp plank]

UwU

[foggy iron]

Exactly!
Polychrome just works, baseball needs others to work
XD

[glossy mortar]

Like the fact that I had the most rigged deck for it. Like I had only 6 cards that were not built for straight. I played them so reliably. Just they simply do not score enough.

[twin lantern]

I stand corrected I like this Joker

It's really fun

I have seen the light

[proper pollen]

go ahead ping local thunk and get him to double the straight values its a good idea

[serene forge]

yeah I want 60/6 saturns

[foggy iron]

Dude, i hate straights but even i have to admit that straights score a fuck ton 😭

[serene forge]

that would be really fun

[proper pollen]

you think playing straigths is bad.... wait till you play full house

[twin lantern]

I'll just repeat what I said before

[glossy mortar]

The issue isn’t the values. The issue is planets. There NEEDS to be more ways of getting desired planets reliably.

[twin lantern]

If you're having troubles in the later antes, you're just not understanding how to scale into the late game

[fringe nebula]

telescope

lol

[twin lantern]

It's got nothing to do with Straights

[serene forge]

tbf there's almost no reason to ever play a full hourse

[serene forge]

blue seal

[frank grove]

telescope, blue seals, celest packs

[ancient gyro]

aka money/blue seals

[frank grove]

like what are you talking about man

[sharp plank]

Two pair is better

[twin lantern]

Why is my STM stuck on Queens twice

[proper pollen]

the humble telescope

[ancient gyro]

it's fun and good enough to play around for a few runs

[twin lantern]

I want to use my Rebate 😭

[fringe nebula]

always happens whenever the guy's losing. the mald is neverending

[glossy mortar]

Like it shouldent be possible in any world to get to ante 7 playing practically only one hand the entire game opening every single planet pack, hunting every standard pack, and buying every desired planet in the shop to not have an over level 10 hand.

[twin lantern]

Yeah I don't think it's amazing but it's decent enough

[foggy iron]

Literally this chat rn, insane

[ancient gyro]

it's
average

[twin lantern]

I thought it was like

[glossy mortar]

Yet i only had a level 5 straight when i played well over 40 hands of them. An average of 3 per-round.

[twin lantern]

C tier

Now I think it's like

[terse vale]

sometimes u need 2 adapt

[twin lantern]

B+ tier

Wihch is solid

[serene forge]

im gonna say it straight up to you
if you think you're doing everything right, you're not

[ancient gyro]

it's in the middle of the joker rosters

[proper pollen]

it really sounds like you arent using any of the tools that the game has

[foggy iron]

Search up BelenosBear

Bro won a run on every hand type
Ofc it was white stake, but still, it's possible

[proper pollen]

just expecting to have shit handed to you

[ancient gyro]

they won like what 2 gs runs total

[serene forge]

no search drspectred

[sharp plank]

Hi pretty kitty

[twin lantern]

That's two more than me

[fringe nebula]

i can't play the build i want to play, so instead of trying to adapt with what the game gave me, i will mald about it on balatro discord server

[ancient gyro]

o

[glossy mortar]

Oh I know I’m not. My issue is I keep falling for the bait of thinking straights are usable in any way. They so often do great in the early game but always fall off end game. I’m done with them. Like I’ve had more luck with flush 5 than I have with straights.

[sharp plank]

Hru

[fringe nebula]

"straights falling off in the endgame"

[knotty zodiac]

and complain that its unbeatable without posting seed, so no one can prove me wrong

[fringe nebula]

oh god

[twin lantern]

Okay, instead of making fun of you I'll try to take you at face value. Why do you think they fall off?

You're having a problem, so let's go over that problem

[sharp plank]

I’m alright

[foggy iron]

Don't you require far most deck fixing for flush five...? What even are you on about...

[twin lantern]

That way we can help you

[ancient gyro]

running straights with a pair joker 🥀

[frank grove]

the problem is they're running runner and straights and complaining that they dont have enough planets for some reasons

[glossy mortar]

Like I started the game taking runner thinking I could get a solid straight build, but no. Runner can only help so much. Even when almost every hand is straight. It does nothing to the end game. That was my mistake. Runner is just flat out garbage and taking it put me on a path for failure. I should not have taken it as it forced me to play straights when there is no way to do that.

[serene forge]

"why does square joker feel so weak when i use it with 4oak?"

[serene forge]

because runner is not a straight joker

[knotty zodiac]

one or two runs, possible. consistent loss means they arent opening enough standard packs / taking enough blue seals. also possibly their econ is not good enough for rerolls

[frank grove]

what were your jokkers?

[serene forge]

yeah thats what I want to know

[rancid gull]

Runner is awesome

[serene forge]

I only heard runner

[fringe nebula]

you occasionally upgrade your runner, not always

[foggy iron]

You actually just need a blahaj to run pairs

It's easy

[glossy mortar]

Flush 5 is less deck fixing than reliable straights. For flush 5 you just need a bunch of death or cryptids. For strights you need to get rid all but 5 levels of cards then have those 5 cards be buffed. It’s much less reliable.

[rancid gull]

I like running runner on straight builds

Not optimal

[twin lantern]

Alright, here's one simple thing: Runner is explicitly a Straights Joker. I don't necessarily agree that you cannot rock it forever, but it is true that you generally scale it then switch to pairs

[serene forge]

jesbian

[fringe nebula]

well, maybe in earlygame you want to scale runner

[rancid gull]

But icing on the cake

[twin lantern]

But like, here's the thing

Straights already have good chip scaling, yeah?

[ancient gyro]

um

[serene forge]

did you mean pair joker

[twin lantern]

*isn't

[serene forge]

right

[foggy iron]

He doesn't say "upgraded"
He says "splash :3"

[ancient gyro]

o

[twin lantern]

I mean I use it all the way for straights

But I know you can switch to pairs

And I do it when I have to

[twin lantern]

Just y'know, if I don't wanna sometimes

[glossy mortar]

Oh it’s not… “+15 chips for if played hand is straight.” My bad.

[knotty zodiac]

eternal rental seance

[frank grove]

straights dont need chips pairs do

[ancient gyro]

it uses straights to scale, not to exclusively score

[twin lantern]

The thing about Straights is that they have the highest chip scaling in the game

We're missing half the story

[proper pollen]

you stack the chips early game and then sit on them while you play pair or flush five or whatever

[serene forge]

it scales when you use straights

it doesn't require straights to score

therefore not a straight joker

it's a pair joker

[twin lantern]

Without anything else

Runner isn't enough to go into a Straights build

[ancient gyro]

same for trousers, castle, squimbo and whatever

[twin lantern]

That's the thing

Shortcut is

Maybe The Order

[foggy iron]

Shortcut + four fingers?

A + A + Q + 10 + 8?

Checks out

It's a pair joker

[glossy mortar]

Ahhh I see. So you are intended to play straights only when it’s hard to play straights then sell it off to go for a normal better hand? My bad.

[ancient gyro]

runner doesn't give you a reason to make you switch to straights when you already have the chips from it unconditionally scoring every hand

[rancid gull]

Straights are awesome

[ancient gyro]

who tf said that

[twin lantern]

Speak of the devil

[rancid gull]

Runner is like good to keep all game

[serene forge]

knock it off with your sarcasm

if you want to get help then don't be an ass

[twin lantern]

What if I said yes, would you take the L? It's fine if you didn't consider that, but like...

[ancient gyro]

just say you don't want advice

[twin lantern]

Here's the thing, if you're truthful that shows you're not willing to adapt

And that's why you're losing

:P

And if you're just mocking us then you're just being obtuse

[glossy mortar]

I mean I’m required to agree so yes.

[ancient gyro]

agreeing is not listening

you're not listening

[spring granite]

if you're not willing to adapt you're a flush player

[serene forge]

they blocked me, guess they don't want help after all

[spring granite]

[rancid gull]

Damn

That’s crazy

[sharp plank]

Yikes

[rancid gull]

WTF

[twin lantern]

There's nothing wrong with not intuitively recognizing Runner can be taken to a different hand type, yeah? It shocked me when I first heard it as well

[rancid gull]

Yayyuhhhhh

[sharp plank]

At the end of the day chips are chips

[twin lantern]

But then that means the problem wasn't the Straights, the problem is that you're forcing a hand in a situation you may not be able to

And that happens

Sometimes you wanna play something but the game says fuck you, so you gotta adapt

[serene forge]

their wounds are all self inflicted

[twin lantern]

That's how you play these games

If you don't like it play something else

Or mald forever, I guess

Up to you

[sharp plank]

Idgaf how I get them as long as I beat fucking ante 8

[rancid gull]

I think it’ll be the latter

[proper pollen]

take chad over hallucination?

[serene forge]

sell photo

[rancid gull]

It’s p good yeah

Photo Chad yorick

Seems like a lot of your mult is coming from
Planet cards

[proper pollen]

yorick always looks so sad

[rancid gull]

So absolutely replace hallucination

[ancient gyro]

sigh

[sharp plank]

Agreed

[proper pollen]

although dekc isnt that good yet

so tarots are still very useful

[rancid gull]

Yes absolutely take the Chad

[cloud sinew]

fucked up looking shop

[rancid gull]

Keep thr glass for just incase violet vessel

[cloud sinew]

also i lost my 4 yellow win streak

[rancid gull]

Maybe make some more glass

[ancient gyro]

watch me fumble as I accidentally play a pair

[knotty zodiac]

what happened?

[ancient gyro]

devastating

[cloud sinew]

i was stupid

[knotty zodiac]

gg

[rancid gull]

Nah don’t say that

[cloud sinew]

its true

the run was lost because i didnt look at the skip tags

i shouldve taken the top-up in ante 2

[ancient gyro]

i played a pair

:(

[fringe nebula]

i lost my 4 ws on magic because i tried to gold sticker

[ancient gyro]

back to the drawing board

this challenge is mad annoying

[serene forge]

here win

[glossy mortar]

Okay so here’s the decks I have left to either beat, or give up on. I’ll let y’all pick my next one since last time y’all picked it actually worked out amazing.

[cloud sinew]

yellow

[fringe nebula]

i don't even know why am i going for gold stickers and winstreak at the same time

[serene forge]

yellow

[fringe nebula]

yellow

[rancid gull]

Erratic

[ancient gyro]

yelow

[rancid gull]

Why the horse

Erratic is awesome

[serene forge]

horseamogus

[rancid gull]

How hungry

[willow frost]

i could eat a

[fringe nebula]

i want to eat ice cream

[foggy iron]

Horse

[twin lantern]

Right

I haven't been around for a while

Can someone explain me what the Horse react means

[foggy iron]

No clue

I'm also curious

[fringe nebula]

when you see something dumb, you horse react

[foggy iron]

Also, is that Malenia on your pfp Juliet?

[fringe nebula]

you can also call someone a white staker when someone thinks obelisk is bad

[cloud sinew]

i elephant react when i like someones message

because i like elephants

[foggy iron]

Obelisk is actually pretty decent
I have yet to properly make it work
But most times, i didn't have it set up..

[serene forge]

People used to ask questions when they were new in fandoms now they just say shit authoritatively with zero experience

[mighty flume]

welp, im getting bored. for sh*ts and giggles. any tips for NanInf? i just still can't wrap my head around how is achieved.

like. i just think about using the plasma deck, iron kings of hearts with red seal, baron, mime, blueprints and brainstorms.

[fringe nebula]

you want 1 ecto and an antimatter

4 blueprints, baron, mime, and dna

[frank grove]

yeah

[tough swift]

Not surprised i won considering the combo I had but this was still a close run

[night furnace]

Hi chat am new here

[frank grove]

and then usually once you have retcon and enough kings in deck you find burglar and roll for serp and then you naneinf

[fringe nebula]

also, don't take dna early. Instead, go for golden ticket/rebate until ante 17 or 18 or something

[night furnace]

o yeah so i finally got balatro and its very addicting

😔

[twin lantern]

There we go finally

That's the jackpot

[proper pollen]

hey guys,

Im trying to do a straight build, and I just found runner. I think I should take it over yorick, since I want to play straights. Thoughts?

[twin lantern]

Don't be mean

[foggy iron]

Wait... You play with CRT on? Do you also have screen shake...? Please no..

[serene forge]

no you should take runner and play pair

[twin lantern]

Yeah

I like the screenshake

[foggy iron]

Jesus Christ, i can feel the motion sickness already

[fringe nebula]

new players gets addicted, and then gets even more addicted after knowing the depth of the game

[night furnace]

😭

[willow frost]

probably not, having one straights joker is enough

[tough swift]

No keep yorick. The runner wont scale nearly as well considering how many cards you will have to discard

[night furnace]

btw i was showing balatro to a friend of mine after i got it and he was like “why do you score 50k chips but only get 8 dollars” 😔

[tough swift]

Literally me

[willow frost]

two would just be overkill

[fringe nebula]

balatro is less than 100mb in size, but the replayability beats even some games that are 100+ GB

[foggy iron]

Now you're wondering how to win your first run

Later, you'll be spending 5+ hours researching who Joseph J. Joker is

[night furnace]

I had a negative banner a negative flash card and joker stencil and somehow i won with that (first win)

[tough swift]

I once had super position, four fingers, shortcut and the order in one run

[foggy iron]

Lore

[proper pollen]

your right. I need the game to give me more saturns though.

[foggy iron]

Blue seal

Oh nvm, i get it-

[proper pollen]

turning on reduced motion makes the game like 10x less fun

[tough swift]

Ok I was wrong in what jokers I had but basically the same idea. Straights and more straights

[fringe nebula]

i love small games with more than 1000 hours worth of replayability

probably why i'm leaning towards bullet hell, pvz endless, and balatro i guess

[serene forge]

mount celeste climbing association

[foggy iron]

Yup
I had to turn it off, it triggers my motion sickness so bad

[tough swift]

Also I have unlocked gold stake

[frank grove]

pvz ref!!!

[serene forge]

skill issue plant doesnt counter photochad

[proper pollen]

to me pvz is not replayable you can only play it once when youre like 12 after that its not the same game

[plain nimbus]

In my first hours, i was like "this game is kinda ass" but when it started to hit it was the beginning of the end

[serene forge]

here win

[green stone]

😭

[fringe nebula]

canio on zodiac deck is cool

[proper pollen]

is this a good pick up for my straights build?

[serene forge]

red card

[fringe nebula]

replace yorick with showman

[plain nimbus]

Nah skip for red card value

[twin lantern]

Bruh I want XMult

[foggy iron]

Chat, I'm going to rest a bit before sleeping
Is there any calm balatro youtuber/streamer like Roffle or BelenosBear?

[twin lantern]

Why is it so hard to come across

[fringe nebula]

bean?

[serene forge]

amphy alt

[plucky shuttle]

Bean is chill

[tough swift]

Yorik is cracked since they are on black stake and not blue

[foggy iron]

Imma check them out, anyone else?

[serene forge]

yoric is always cracked

[twin lantern]

It's not my fault the game is decided to not give me anything

[plucky shuttle]

Balatroze is good

[twin lantern]

I HAVE TO USE STONE JOKER

UNIRONICALLY

[proper pollen]

yeah but when you got the extra discard its crzy good

[tough swift]

It can be weaker on blue steak depending on what strat you use

[twin lantern]

Do you not think I'm suffering enough?

[fringe nebula]

yorick is still cracked even on blue stake

30 cards discarded/ante is still good

[foggy iron]

Polychrome 8ball

Take it or leave

[serene forge]

i mean yeah obviously it's weaker with -1 discard but it's still cracked as fuck

[fringe nebula]

stone joker is fine

[tough swift]

Hot take: tribulet is the best joker for anything that isnt late game and it isnt really that close

[twin lantern]

That is indeed a hot take

[twin lantern]

I don't want fine

[upbeat burrow]

The hell is happening this is the 3rd legendary joker today

[proper pollen]

youre ignoring chigoat

[fringe nebula]

perkeo can be good

triboulet vagabond is also insane

[upbeat burrow]

Nah it's that joker that makes planets free

[twin lantern]

Look it's objectively the best XMult joker in the game

[trim notch]

😢

[tough swift]

True. If you get the plant on a trib run you just die

[twin lantern]

Because as we all know

Skipping is goated

[upbeat burrow]

LETS GOOO

EHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHE

Now to hope to God I actually get sock and buskin unlike with idol

[tough swift]

I prefer hologram since there are jokers that can assist with scaling like certificate,dna, or spectral packs

[proper pollen]

I dont think this is worth taking this late is it?

[fringe nebula]

it's sarcasm

[proper pollen]

could do something something midas mask

[twin lantern]

Hologram? More like

More like

[fringe nebula]

throwback is the worst one

[twin lantern]

Holobad

[tough swift]

It could use a buff

[twin lantern]

Chicot? More like

Chicno

[tough swift]

It depends on how many enhanced cards you have and how reliant you are on them

[upbeat burrow]

Hi am going to be unlucky for the rest of the day

[tough swift]

Chicot is the chgoat

[twin lantern]

My fucking god I actually saw no X Mult jokers in the entire game

LOL

I can't believe it

[vocal rose]

whats the seed

[tough swift]

I had that happen like ten times in a row once

[twin lantern]

Oh no, not Amber Acorn

On my setup that doesn't need it at all

Nooooo

[vocal rose]

show seed

[tough swift]

Welp time to attempt gold stake for the first time

[twin lantern]

I was joking but suit yourself

[turbid smelt]

What a seed

[twin lantern]

I won pretty comfortably

I also forced STM so... eh

Wanted to do something different, this was Black Stake it wasn't hard

[fringe nebula]

wow so many useless jokers

[twin lantern]

I'm sure you'll find X Mult, I didn't roll as aggressively as I could have

[turbid smelt]

Negative thin

Tho

[vocal rose]

it didnt seem like you were tho

[turbid smelt]

With antimatter

[twin lantern]

I mean yes I am increduous I didn't find any X Mults but like, I didn't need them

[fringe nebula]

negative jokers don't matter when they don't help with the build you're going for

[twin lantern]

I don't think that ever happens to me

I always find something

[dawn sedge]

Temperature values!!!

[twin lantern]

Still, turns out STM with Steel Red Seals is rather strong

That surprised me

[desert pebble]

temperance

[twin lantern]

I could see a better player than me getting better results

[fringe nebula]

sold a fool for second buffoon pack

absolutely worth it

[twin lantern]

Okay, time to do the 5 edition jokers and 2 holographic jokers unlock with the tip y'all gave me

[fringe nebula]

INSANE JUDGEMENT

[manic zealot]

love it when that happens

[twin lantern]

You love to see it

Freebie

[fringe nebula]

BRUHHH

[peak crest]

just played a run of checkered deck, got ancient joker in the shop… twice. i had a riff raff and a chad and i kept using planets for when i could get a photograph

the photograph never came

BUT ANCIENT JOKER

SHOWED UP MULTIPLE TIMES 💔

I WOULD TAKE IT ON LITERALLY ANY OTHER DECK

[upbeat burrow]

Just get smeared

[peak crest]

i’m actually not sure if i have smeared

[proper pollen]

I drop golden ticket right?

[turbid smelt]

Silence

[peak crest]

oh the unlock condition is having 3 wild cards… that’s why

[fringe nebula]

ok white staker

go play gold stake will you

[turbid smelt]

Sorry I like endless mode

[proper pollen]

for the invisible?

[dire crater]

damn it

[proper pollen]

photochad is only like x8 actually

[proper pollen]

bro the texture pack is good enough but the got damn sound effects push it over the limit

[dire crater]

sorrys

[proper pollen]

thats so awesome dude

[proper pollen]

like genuinely

cant decide

[tough swift]

Am I the only one who thinks violet vessal is way to strong

[tough swift]

I think so

[turbid smelt]

NAN INF

NAN FUCKING INF

LETS GO

[proper pollen]

usually by that point I try to have like some crzy build going

[fringe nebula]

you will not

unless you have perkeo

[turbid smelt]

Barron=naninf

I’m on a flush five king

[proper pollen]

lwk I dropped photograph im gonna try to just run like 3 yoricks

[tough swift]

What if you dont have 4 x mult jokers like every run ever

[fringe nebula]

do math kid

[tough swift]

What are these sound effects

[ancient gyro]

o

didn't cave in

[tough swift]

Oh yeah. I had a run with like 5 of those. Carried me to ante 12

[proper pollen]

rick and da mortys

[plain ermine]

people will really try to tell you that campfire is bad

[proper pollen]

its good if you get it on like ante 7 or something

[fringe nebula]

campfire is always good

wdym

[tough swift]

The only time I got campfire was when I had cartomancer.

[proper pollen]

its usually ok but unless you have enough money to spend you cant get a ton of mult

[tough swift]

Oh yeah ante one campfire I cant wait to spend all my money and lose because i have nothing to to sell

[rancid gull]

Well it’s not an ante 1 joker

Xmult does nothing in ante 1

Barely

[plain ermine]

i mean if you blow all of your money on campfire in ante 1/2 then that’s kinda on you lol

[light lagoon]

i was abt to get gold sticker on michel but it died once boss blind ended

[proper pollen]

the humble ante 1 yorick

[fringe nebula]

oh wow i got campfire at ante 1. that is a clear gameplan, i know what to do now

[proper pollen]

it takes a bit of skill to set it up properly

[rancid gull]

If you’re playing gold stake, it probably didnt come online until boss blind ante 1

[tough swift]

I said that when I got the duo and a ankh. Little did I know I would get the wall ante 4 and get literally nothing to stop it

[vocal rose]

wat

[rancid gull]

Xmult is the weakest in ante 1

[vocal rose]

if I find a scaling x mult joker I want to find it as soon as possible

including ante 1

[fringe nebula]

i know right

[rancid gull]

I mean of course, but it’s not really doing anything

[plain ermine]

they mean in terms of its effect on your score in the moment

[tough swift]

Any scaling joker is cracked in ante one. They are referring to a polychrome or a duo

[vocal rose]

if its a static x mult sure yeah

[plain ermine]

an ante 1 hologram is obviously good but it won’t help you immediately the same way a michel will

not very objectionable

[rancid gull]

Nah even the scaling ones, because those take time to come online

Except yorick ig

[vocal rose]

I mean the main statement was x mult does nothing ante 1

[tidal flame]

The gay rock card

[vocal rose]

which is what I was curious about

[rancid gull]

That’s a pretty cool stone

Slap a red seal on that baby

[plain ermine]

the funniest thing a stone can be is foil

[rancid gull]

What if I told you

Hiker as well?

[pallid ferry]

[proper pollen]

[rancid gull]

Take erosion for the value

[plain ermine]

it’s a trick

[glossy mortar]

3rd times the charm. 3 attempts to beat yellow deck. As per-usual, pair build. Pretty easy seed. Not a lot of pushback from anything. Mostly just make the best play and win.

[pallid ferry]

true …

[rancid gull]

Now play erratic

[vocal rose]

pls take faceless

[tough swift]

I would still take it because you have an empty slot

[rancid gull]

Oh yea true

5 bucks in ante 4

[pallid ferry]

dw i did

[heady narwhal]

i'd take faceless here despite the delgrat antisynergy

[rancid gull]

Should’ve taken erosion

[plain ermine]

the FOOL plays pairs and wins
the WISE MAN always pivots into baron at the first sight of it and dies immediately

[rancid gull]

Immediate mult

[plain ermine]

they had 56 cards

it would be at 0

[heady narwhal]

immediate 0 mult

[proper pollen]

take idol and bet on fixing the deck up for next ante?

[pallid ferry]

speculative erosion for trading card to get a whopping eight mult a round!!!
-# starts scaling after 4 rounds

[twin lantern]

Boy I do love this the Anaglyph deck

[heady narwhal]

reroll 6 times then go next

[ornate pecan]

Does flower pot work with smeared joker?

[plain ermine]

yeah but you still need four cards iirc

[heady narwhal]

yes (need 2 cards of each color)
