only adding cards to the deck

#

yep i know

#

im not a huge fan of obelisk either but it is very strong in the right circumstance

zinc hawk
#

Yeah so unfortunately rolling for arcana skips is the only way

slow grail
#

I never knew getting C++ inverts the red and blue in the main menu screen for mobile version

dark cairn
#

+0.2x mult per hand played is absurdly powerful

#

thats like faster scaling than yorick

zinc hawk
#

I didn’t say best I said my favorite

tight pike
#

fym ❌️
I still hate it

#

Idc that obelisk is good, I just hate it

molten cliff
#

I don't remember its name but a joker gives you mult x0.1 for every planet you use

zinc hawk
#

Obelisk just won me my last game for C++ so I can’t hate, it’s just a joker that forces you to play slower and more carefully

zinc hawk
#

I get why people hate it

tight pike
stark karma
#

Obelisk won me black deck gold stake but it can be annoying at times

dark cairn
#

Welp, here goes

slow grail
#

New jokers aside, I hope the 1.1 update also includes new challenges and/or gamemode.

unborn cliff

#

people will hate any joker that has the word "reset" in the description and then overrate jokers that reset every hand (bloodstone, triboulet, etc etc)

Platinum Stake, it’s just permanent golden needle

New skip tags, vouchers and packs would also be cool

PREHISTORIC

unborn cliff

basically making skipping even worse

#

I have to apologize to Pairs, I didn’t know your game until I started C++ gold stake grind

Crazy how hard a single blue seal can carry you

I hope more seals are added

Though I couldn’t think of any interesting idea

Old blue seal was too weak

terse dock

It used to be rare

Somehow buffing the stronger/larger hands would be cool

Buff and give smarter jokers

Even though I have completed C++ I cannot erase the shame of my stats showing Jupiter and PhotoChad as the most played cards from my earlier days 🥀

unborn cliff

We need some more tech for big hands

(obviously sarcasm)

So they match with droll joker

New card modifiers would be nice

uhhhhh i'm kinda biased towards golden joker but foil abstract is a better pick here

cosmic sun

Be safe

#

fosho

yeah abstract every day of the week here

#

except on plasma deck day

fiery nymph
cosmic sun

plasma deck night >

fringe nebula
stark charm
fiery nymph
#

i dont like abstract much

#

i know its the better pick but i dont like using an eternal one

cloud sinew
#

you wouldnt really drop it for much anyway

fiery nymph
#

i would drop it any day for a scaling mult

stark charm
fiery nymph
#

it feels pretty rough to go past 15

#

the foil changes it up here

stark charm
#

If the goal is 8 it should be fine

cloud sinew
#

id take an eternal sly joker at this stage

#

the +mult makes it even more of a free take

fiery nymph
#

idek what sly joker does

cloud sinew
#

+50 chips if the poker hand contains a pair

fiery nymph
#

ah

#

not bad

vocal rose
stark charm
#

How jolly

vocal rose
fiery nymph
#

pairs and two pairs are like the only hands i use on gs

stark charm
#

Just spam pair and highcard high key

#

Why bother playing any other hand

cloud sinew
#

cause i wanna win <3

frank grove
#

also sometimes straights are fun

vocal rose

temporarily

fiery nymph
fiery nymph

with runner or smt

stark charm
cosmic sun
#

I don't trust the people who say they play for fun

frank grove
#

runner sucks with straights

cosmic sun
#

I think real funmaxxers aren't that loud about it

frank grove
#

straights dont really need more chips

fiery nymph
#

what works well

#

?

cosmic sun
#

AT LEAST when people say they play to win they are honest and are probably having fun in their own way.

frank grove
#

shortcut is always good

fiery nymph
#

and do you eventually switch to straight flush?

frank grove
#

nah almost never

fiery nymph
#

or nah

#

shortcut square ❤️

#

wait

stark charm
fiery nymph
#

im thinking abt the wrong card

frank grove
#

nope

fiery nymph
#

💔

#

four fingers shortcut

#

what scores for you though

cosmic sun
frank grove
#

i usually only do one or the other never both

#

scaling mult works, grimbo is tough cause discards are better used with straights

#

but usually you'll one shot anywya

lost vault
#

balatro!

stark charm
fiery nymph
frank grove
#

but yeah i love when straight builds are possible

#

and straight scaling is so nice

#

like getting a saturn shop one im taking a lot of the time

vocal rose
#

people don’t realize both are pair jokers

frank grove
#

yeah

stark charm
#

My first ever run of this game is straight built what is your?

cloud sinew
#

i wouldnt say trousers is a pair joker

#

runner for sure is though

brave goblet
#

I think we're done for the day

frank grove
#

trousers can work with two pair and stuff

#

and helps scale with obelisk and stuff which is nice

cloud sinew
#

runner is more often than not a two pair joker

fiery nymph
#

i suck at scaling spare trousers

vocal rose
fiery nymph
rotund igloo

#

upgrading uranus gives less opportunity to scale pants itself

frank grove
#

yeah saturn level 2 allows you to one shot a few blinds which is nice

I feel like if you win a stake it should win that stake on all of your decks

people would just be playing one deck

different decks offer different challenges

cosmic sun
random lark
hushed sinew
#

because I can't be bothered to play all of my decks just to get a challenge, if I wanna play abandoned deck I have to play white stake all the way up to my current one which is just a bit tedious

If my pair level had 20 mult then maybe.

lyric karma
hushed sinew
#

i meant moreso because if I win next stake on a bad deck with luck, then I have to redo that stake to play the next one on a good deck

goat 9 is one of the best econ jokers

cosmic sun

Anyway I've heard that before and I always forget the exact numbers so I just switch stuff around, sometimes the multer scores more and sometimes xmult will score more on brainstorm

light brook
#

INVISIBLE joker on the SERPENT BIG BOSS blind is a pretty SOLID setup if you ask me

you should be prempitvely making more 9s if you get no better tarots because cloud 9 is goated

How is this relevant to what's currently being discussed tho lol

I'm kinda confused why u brought it up

It’s valid grounds for discussion

Wait fuck

did not realize at all

Of the legendary jokes ive seen so far (which has ever been 3 times) i only ever won with perkeo

I lost with Chicot

I've only ever gotten canio, got absolutely no value and sold him.

Is there an alternative build I can go for in the meantime?

Cuz i do wanna make this work

build for straights

Also in order to destroy a card don't I need to farm for Hanged Man tarots?

hushed sinew
#

is mail in rebate good? cause it's probably my most used econ card

lyric karma
#

you can do it with trading card

or immolate

but depending on what hand you are planning to build, that would be less or more risky

what about golden joker because I use him too

is it normal to live in fear the second you get a cavendish on your winning run

Well this run is done

Plant can't kill me for my Pair levels are too high

hushed sinew

I think you overshot it a little

warped moth

And my luck can sometimes be bad enough that I fully expect it to happen

#

Hasn't happened yet

hushed sinew

it's even worse when it's paired with blueprint

then you lose double the value

Blueprint won't disappe- oh nvm I misread

I prefer blueprint to brainstorn, is blueprint better

I really don't like Bootstraps, idk. Always felt underwhelming to me even when I tried it out

hushed sinew

fair

warped moth
#

I guess I just wanna spend as much money as I can lol

hushed sinew
#

especially when you need to spend money and lose half your mult, or when you don't read the boss blind and lose all your money

random ice
#

Bootstraps and Bull are poor imitators of Campfire

#

Campfire is the true Money = Scoring Joker

#

Campfire also encourages rerolls which the other two do not

hushed sinew
#

is ceremonial dagger and egg a good combo

warped moth
#

Can be, yeah

random ice
#

Don't count on it

fiery nymph
#

i love burnt joker

hushed sinew
#

so it's wheel_of_fortune

random ice
#

I almost always buy Egg if I'm in excess cash and free slots, but Ceremonial is situational

warped moth
#

^ plus you will give out all the value egg gave for that mult
It's a pretty big tradeoff from both sides

random ice
#

It's a scaler at the end of the day

fiery nymph
#

egg is actually one of my fav econs

#

especially when i can get tarots

random ice
#

Egg should not be relied on for Temperance, Egg just removes itself from the Joker pool and gives you secret income

hushed sinew
#

I'll stick to egg, discount and swashbuckler for my egg build

random ice
#

Temperance is a rare bonus

Should I buy vampire and replace supernova with it? (Doing a spade flush run)

Why not sell Luch? What's countering you

its something expect really

I finally did it

hushed sinew
#

negative is so juicy when you get it on an econ joker like gold and mail in rebate

random ice
#

Don't get me wrong I love Luchador but your current setup doesn't look like anything kills it

#

Maybe Eye?

woven spire
random ice
#

Like Eye murders the Nova if you don't have a backup hand

#

Also needle

#

Sometimes

hushed sinew
#

I feel like eye murders everything

random ice
#

ALTHOUGH

hushed sinew
#

it's like needle but harder

random ice
#

If you are considering selling Nova

fiery nymph
#

i hate it when i scale too high

#

😭

random ice
#

Eye is a tricky boss but a fair one, just save your good hand for when the Glass appears. Or have a tarot for the flush five

#

Sorry, flush house

#

Flush House is a GREAT hand to play in eye

#

I sometimes buy Tarots just to get a beefy score from a Flush House, then I play my main

fringe nebula
#

yeah

random ice
#

The other bailout is Acro

fiery nymph
#

just oneshot the eye

#

🙏

random ice
#

Just save your good hand to last with Acro

cosmic sun
#

Or have power to use other hands

random ice
#

Don't waste it until the 3x procs

cosmic sun
#

ie. chips

hushed sinew
#

would black deck be good against eye for the extra joker

cosmic sun
#

and non nova mult ideally lol

hushed sinew
random ice
#

Nova is fine, you can run Nova with two hands it's actually very doable

cosmic sun
#

Eye is definitely a supernova opp unless early

cosmic sun
#

Not uhhh

#

The one that decreases your hand level

fringe nebula
#

black deck is a weird case where somehow acrobat becomes stronger than usual (?)

random ice
#

For Arm, generally it won't kill Nova as Nova is making the mult

#

Just kicks the chips down a bit

warped moth
# random ice Temperance is a rare bonus

Eh I wouldn't say rare but you absolutely shouldn't count on it appearing. You should basically never rely on finding a specific thing for any roguelike. When a game gets a "Roguelike" tag on steam, an evil spirit possesses every copy of the software and it makes sure that you will encounter the most specific and petty kind of bad luck imaginable, at least 5 times per session

Just now I forgot that rule and got a mime out of desperation and relied on finding the devil and the chariot
They never appeared until I gave up and sold the mime for a legendary. And guess what the next shop had there right as I entered it :)

two common jokers constantly?

random ice
#

Most of my run losses in Black Deck happen in Antes 1 and 8

#

Riff Raff is really really good

#

If you don't like the jokers you sell them for money

#

If you do you keep them

#

And riff Raff can't make eternal perishable or rental jokers

hushed sinew

#

Also it can make Hanging Chad and Rebate

I played black deck a total of 16 times, and that's because I got C++ twice. That thing is torture and I will avoid it at any cost 😭

Hanging Chad does rely on other things, but it saves your ass in so many situations I have to put it in S

#

Hanging Chad and Glass saves you from most bad boss blinds

Hanging Chad can print econ with Lucky's and Golds

If your deck is bad with Hanging Chad, your deck is just bad

random ice
#

Bloodstone has a 1 in 2 chance for played cards with Heart suit to give X1.5 Mult when scored

#

Now there are TWO issues with this

#
  1. Unlike AJ it has a permanent boss counter that kills it
#
  1. You are lucky if you can line up heart flushes consistently enough to get it to work, let alone have all x1.5 go off
cosmic sun
#

Weak to debuffs in general which is already a minus given the RNG

hushed sinew
#

so you could theoretically have a Royal Flush with 5 bloodstone hits

random ice
#

The highs don't matter

hushed sinew
#

cool

random ice
#

All you need is one set of lows

#

And the run is dead

cosmic sun
#

But some people are obsessed with RNG being Bloodstone's "identity"

random ice
#

Rng is fine in context

fiery nymph
#

i fw this run so much

#

i would hate losing

random ice
#

For Business? This is fine. When business fails it doesn't kill your run

hushed sinew
#

bloodstone and misprint while taking every wheel of fortune I find

random ice
#

It just means you get slightly less money

#

Misprint is also fine actually as Misprint is early game scoring.

The Highs bloodstone reaches technically win the game, but you need multiple consecutive successes to pull it off

cosmic sun
#

The nature of Bloodstone being a suit joker is already punishment enough

random ice
#

This is why I sometimes full skip with Bloodstone

#

Out of desperation

#

But I know it minimizes my chance of failure

hushed sinew
#

it you have wheel of fortune level luck is lusty joker and bloodstone insane

random ice
#

If I'm on Ante 6 and I know Bloods can one shot 3 boss blinds, and my econ is in the toilet, I full skip and pray it lands

#

But it's a hail Mary more than anything reliable

cloud sinew
#

Balatro

random ice
#

In short, it's a bad joker

hushed sinew
#

k

cloud sinew
#

Yeah bloodstone sucks

random ice
#

Also it does actually work with Sixes, assuming you can deal with the Boss counter

cloud sinew
#

making it 1.75x, or making it 1.25x but guaranteed, would help it out a lot

warped moth
#

I just always try to have another reliable xmult when I go bloodstone. Even 2X, something that will at least give you some insurance if bloodstone decides to die

Or just use oops all sixes and go bloodstone lucky card/cat, that always goes hard

random ice
#

Non ironically if I see Seltzer I full do Fullskip Bloodstone to the end of Ante 8

#

Minimize boss blinds seen and max out Seltzers life

warped moth
#

Wb flush levels?

hushed sinew
#

is misprint in the same boat as bloodstone or is it goated bcuh I love misprint

fiery nymph
#

With Seltzer Bloodstone you don't need many flush levels

hushed sinew

yummy misprint

cloud sinew

its 11.5 mult on average, and even 4 mult is a lot early

People forget that Jokers have different prices when evaluating them, I'm chill with Splash's effect as it only costs $2

And resales for $1

ALSO the fact you can control it allows deck digging

how low is your highest hand

random ice
warped moth
# hushed sinew but then you miss out on any good planet and tarot cards

Unless you need chips, +3 mult is either the same or better than what the planet you're playing is giving you. If it's the same then just take the planet. But if you don't find it then you still get this same +3 mult.

Unless you're playing one of the two, absurdly difficult to get consistently +4 mult scaling hands

I play flushes and full houses 😭

Ive used a calculator for multiple rounds this run so I can minmax scaling

They're kinda beginner traps usually 😔
