[smoky niche]

i have 2 glass 10s so i guess i have to bank on drawing those

i feel like those dont win

[thick citrus]

Hmmmmm

[echo sphinx]

h m

[echo sphinx]

wdym what do u do u just win no

[rough moth]

Get Wee

[smoky niche]

does it i cant do math

[tepid lava]

Ahh a smiling photochad also i did a similar build to this one minus the smiley face

[echo sphinx]

unless the base hand is like lvl 1 this is a winning setup

[echo sphinx]

MORE RETRIGGERS

[smoky niche]

uh it doesnt win

i only drew 1 10

and its like

10k

[echo sphinx]

damn how in the fric

[smoky niche]

lvl 7 pair

[vernal breach]

New record my dumbass took too many ectos

[smoky niche]

waut doesnt paradolia die in plant

it kills all the cards right

so i just sold it beforehand

[echo sphinx]

ye

[smoky niche]

yeah well

this was a really good setup

[echo sphinx]

i thought hanging chad would mog it but mb ig

[smoky niche]

i had like 4 million points by ante 5

3

3 million

[tacit stream]

extra photo and sock is putting in more oomph than you think in that case.

smiley too with the low hand level.

[upper spade]

Surely I get Director's Cut.

I actually didn't.

[thick citrus]

Do it ?

[vocal rose]

FUCK no

[fringe nebula]

black deck earlygame is something created by thunk for torture

[upper spade]

Gotta love it.

[thick citrus]

Man I think I got a god seed

[vernal breach]

Game actually hates me

[echo sphinx]

photochads when The Plant

[thick citrus]

Gg

[upper spade]

Average Photochad experience.

[true thunder]

aw that's pretty rare

i think i had a pretty recent triboulet run yeah?

[vernal breach]

Why no luchador when you need it the most

[upper spade]

It's not as rare as you think.

[true thunder]

yeah there we go

me when i forget the plant

[upper spade]

Gotta love The Serpent.
(It's more helpful than harmful)

[green meteor]

I think there should be a Rare Joker that makes all Blinds Serpent

[upper spade]

Imagine.

[green meteor]

Not even Boss Blinds, just Blinds in general

[upper spade]

Make it a Legendary Joker and you have a deal.

[green meteor]

Green Chicot

[upper spade]

Y e s/

[night turret]

Wow perfect

[white trellis]

I had a custom joker idea and wanted some help with it, any thoughts?

Baron Von Count
Rare

If first discard of round contains a single 5, destroy it, then count down. When countdown is done, create a copy of the leftmost Joker.
Self Destructs

[gentle wedge]

6 stakes left, nearly there, all plasma and black

[echo sphinx]

holy Banner goated asfk

[gentle wedge]

could you make the effect more complicated

[echo sphinx]

(context)

[white trellis]

I cannot tell if you're being sarcastic or genuine I am so sorry

[green meteor]

Sarcastic

[gentle wedge]

i’m being an ass lol

[green meteor]

Way to go me

[white trellis]

I didn't think it was that complicated tbh, I wanted to make a doomsday clock/countdown joker, but I just don't know what I wanted the countdown reward to be, so I just settled for copying a joker, but idk what else would fit

[potent tree]

mm drivers license brainstorm

because the only cav i found was a perishable rental

[green meteor]

Gives Negative Baron

Wait

Gives Negative Vampire and Baron

[tepid forge]

campfire is the of rare jokers

[jagged sail]

isnt campfire goated in gold stake runs? (bcuz rental makes jokers 1 dolla)

[tepid forge]

i have only 7 wins whats a gold stake

[night turret]

Man I got two mfing lucky cards in this b

[true thunder]

EIGHT OF A KIND!!!!!

ELUSH EIGHT!!!

[potent tree]

well there's only 7 aces in that picture.

[jagged sail]

after beating a game of balala, you get to challenge yourself by playing on other stakes. Stakes modify the game to make it harder (with gold being the hardest (i tried my best to explain, if someone can add on or correct me if im wrong, please do!))

[potent tree]

seven, because the eighth ate 9 and is in prison.

[true thunder]

is that why 6 is afraid of the number after 6?

[jagged sail]

probably

[potent tree]

thank you for avoiding usage of a dead meme.

[jagged sail]

its dead but everyone at my school is still using it 😔

[white trellis]

I really wanted to avoid making a specific joker with it, I wanted it to feel vanilla if possible, and I feel like the effect (counting down) could be something reasonably implemented, but I don't remember ever seeing anything that just makes a specific joker

[green meteor]

That’s because thunk has stated vanilla jokers don’t do that

[fringe nebula]

having only 3 hands is bad enough, but then the game wanted me to face the water

[echo sphinx]

this deck is evil.

[white trellis]

oof yeah that's

rough

[knotty zodiac]

water is evil

[fringe nebula]

do you know that you can face the water on this challenge (the boss blind that makes you have no discard)

[echo sphinx]

water makes this literally impossible

[echo sphinx]

yes

[knotty zodiac]

(therefore burglar is even more goated than it looks for this)

[echo sphinx]

burglar is BANNED

[knotty zodiac]

oh gggg

[echo sphinx]

HHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[spring granite]

🧐

[knotty zodiac]

i forgot, been a while. rekt

[echo sphinx]

MY GOAT IS BACK

CHALLENGE CLUTCHER

[knotty zodiac]

water should be banned on golden needle

[potent tree]

i just threw incredibly hard...skipped on square joker with supernova

[knotty zodiac]

pretty sure this not-a-snake also carried my run

[echo sphinx]

YEAHHH MY GOAT

i just realized

its per discard
not per card

why am i being so greedy om

[copper iron]

'Road to C++' update

[night turret]

Best or worst case senator

Might save for interest

[gentle wedge]

you take license early? i always die

[tepid lava]

Yeah i think save for interest then once you have enough money (around $20) build up drivers license

[echo sphinx]

early license thonk

[night turret]

It was one of the two rares I got for the skips

[tepid lava]

But usually early drivers license is a no go for me

[night turret]

I dont like skipping but on blue stake and below

Its funny

[gentle wedge]

skips are good? i stopped skipping

oh haha ok

[night turret]

Lets hope I get lucky

[tepid lava]

Usually depends on the situation im in

If im in desperate need of a negative i usually skip for negative tag

[gentle wedge]

sometimes i skip for negative and get a temp or useless common and i cri

so i do it less now

[tepid lava]

Yeah i get annoyed by this but if its verdant leaf

[turbid smelt]

Take mine or Chad

Chad 8x

Mime

[rugged bloom]

Show us your deck boi

[tepid lava]

What are your cards atm

[turbid smelt]

Not that good

I need to deck shape

[rugged bloom]

I would sell the Baron

[echo sphinx]

chat does this work backwards
like im playing a deck that reduces handsize for ever $5

[rugged bloom]

Your deck isn't working enough

[polar abyss]

Take mime if you want to go into endless fully

[rugged bloom]

Huh

[turbid smelt]

R u mad cuz

[tepid lava]

Hes actually right

[rugged bloom]

6 King Baron isn't enough

If you had more than 10 I'd say take it

[potent tree]

yes, it does

[turbid smelt]

I’ll just deck shape

[rugged bloom]

Even I don't take Baron until I have 10 kings for Naneinf pushes

[echo sphinx]

o my days

[potent tree]

so every negative 5 bucks you have is 1 additional handsize

[tepid lava]

Baron only works if your deck was built with Kings early on

[night turret]

Just got two gold kings

Now I need to work on deck thinning

[polar abyss]

You can shift at that stage, but i tend to always build for kings regardless

[rugged bloom]

The mime would be good if you have red seal gold cards

Baron isn't doing much for now

[polar abyss]

51 card in deck on ante 9 your not cutting enough cards

[rugged bloom]

If you have 10 kings or more that's when I'd recommend taking it

[night turret]

INVIS YOU TREAT ME SO WELL

[vapid grail]

is balatro like

a finished project?

[polar abyss]

Yes

[vapid grail]

damn

[rugged bloom]

Yes

[tepid lava]

It usually depends for me if I have fibonacci I build aces

[polar abyss]

Its released but will be updates

[rugged bloom]

There's a big update planned for this year

[vapid grail]

well i dont see any

[turbid smelt]

What do I sell for blue print

[vapid grail]

1.4.5 all over again

[rugged bloom]

I'd sell the left chad

[turbid smelt]

Ok

I’m just gonna blue print Baron

[tepid lava]

Blue print photograph atm

Not baron

[night turret]

Nice

[turbid smelt]

I just played serpent

So

[rugged bloom]

You don't have enough kings to reliably copy Baron

[turbid smelt]

That’s why

[trail pier]

bro are you kidding me

[rugged bloom]

Especially since this is not Plasma deck

[polar abyss]

Depends on what you draw, baron might be the right choice if you get enough kings out

[echo sphinx]

JHHAHHAAHHAHAHA

[rugged bloom]

The Idol do be doing that

[fringe nebula]

you are very lucky

[tepid lava]

“Please Idol I want x2 mult on Kings”

“haha, jack”

[trail pier]

got through with glass at least

[night turret]

Do I take it?

This would be the third skip

This would be third skip of the run

[turbid smelt]

Skip it

[slow iris]

play it

[turbid smelt]

Search for throwback

[rugged bloom]

Star throwing it back

[trail pier]

i used a death on it

[slow iris]

aw

[rugged bloom]

Imagine if you could death your jokers

[tepid lava]

Did the jack get destroyed?

[night turret]

That would be called an ankh

If you had eternals

[tepid lava]

If so good, now all you need is some steels, cryptids and dna then you can go for naneinf

[digital pewter]

oh my god HUGE pickup

[tepid lava]

Oh my is your deck built for it?

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, 17 streak

[fringe nebula]

hooooooooly shit

[digital pewter]

no i just had a free joker slot to pick it up

lol

i'm trying to get completionist++

[manic talon]

+6 mult

[digital pewter]

speaking of which

it was much closer than i would have liked for it to be

but it got there

the reason why it was a big pickup was because it's a rare

that plus showman which was uncommon made this a very good run

ice cream is common so i was very willing to give it up

[rugged bloom]

huh

[tepid lava]

Ahh thats why

Going gold stickers on all jokers must be tough

[digital pewter]

it certainly takes a while

[fringe nebula]

@rancid gull

[trail pier]

yes

[digital pewter]

but because completionist+ means you get a lot of gold stickers in the first place, it's not AS much as you'd think

[tepid lava]

There we go steel, dna and cryptid. Get to naneinf in no time

[digital pewter]

plus, the legendaries are almost free wins + are given sticker priority

lemme see what i got left

[upper spade]

I would of liked these separately game.

[tepid lava]

“No you can only get one take it or leave it” -game

[fringe nebula]

burnt joker is better here

stuntman is an instant 250 yes but burnt joker will do so much more for the long term

[lofty vault]

5 stuntmen tho

[manic talon]

burnt into pairslop as usual

[potent tree]

well, shoot. i'll need to draw into a 4oak or 5oak on my first hand to survive this.

[digital pewter]

business card, hack, delayed grat, dna, ice cream, sixth sense, riff raff, rocket, turtle bean, luchador, seltzer, rough gem, golden ticket, smeared joker, flowerpot, and satellite

[tepid lava]

0 hand speedrun

[lofty vault]

I got this pack one time in a challenge run

[upper spade]

Damn.

[tacit stream]

burnt 4oak-slop

[potent tree]

well, that's unfortunate. i drew 0 aces.

[digital pewter]

ah... man, i hate flush house slop.

not the flowerpot slop, bro

are you kidding me? showman slop?

[upper spade]

I have an idea.
It might not be a smart idea, but it's an idea.

[tepid lava]

Just hope to god the arcana pack below and subsequent arcana packs have a chariot

[rancid gull]

DUDE

[upper spade]

I opened every single arcana pack and did five spectral packs too.
Not a single Chariot

[sleek valley]

peak econ ❤️

[tepid lava]

Verdict on steel now?

[terse gyro]

gang i am so close to 100 percenting this game

[tepid lava]

e g g

[fringe nebula]

natural negative obelisk and wee

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/694849009411555379.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[upper spade]

I'm gettng there.

[buoyant pumice]

i remember being told this was the rarest achievement to get, c++ on mobile

Only took me a year

LMAO

[tepid lava]

Ayo slay the spire

[buoyant pumice]

I banked 200 hours in STS before i hit c++ it was that much of a grind

i am never doing that again. people who get c++ on multiple platforms are insane

i mean that in a respectful way lol

[knotty zodiac]

havent gotten c++ yet but it feels pretty autopilotable? just need time for a few dozen wins

[tall sky]

got it on my phone and pc

[tall sky]

C++ is just a race to see how many dead jokers you can carry in one gold stake run

[buoyant pumice]

the problem is having to carry shit jokers in an entire run when you get to like 20-1 jokers left

[tepid lava]

If only there was a sequel you can c++

would be insane

[buoyant pumice]

you just start rerolling for rare skips at some points

[tall sky]

I wouldn't really do that

[buoyant pumice]

Well tbf it’s in early access and half the game is probably going to be updated next week

also idk if you guys know this but in the new STS there’s retriggers

[tall sky]

you can't guarantee the run is winnable with a rare skip

[buoyant pumice]

you can basically hanging chad any card in your deck if you get the right event

It is as disgusting as it sounds

during c++ i stopped caring about winning most of the time and more abt getting the sticker

[knotty zodiac]

maybe itll change for me soon but rerolling during ante 8 with good econ seems fine?

[buoyant pumice]

so i would take jokers knowing it could throw a run

that’s also what i did

but usually only last shop

[tall sky]

honestly just rerolling in the shop on solid runs is good enough

[buoyant pumice]

and only if i knew i 100% could win

very very grindy strat

[tall sky]

like supernova + square + blackboard with blue seals can carry some dead jokers like seance

[buoyant pumice]

Also all 3 of my last jokers were rare and one was fucking invis

and the 4th was bean

😃👍

[tall sky]

my last on my pc account was crafty joker

[buoyant pumice]

last was tribe

[upper spade]

Are the hardest ones to do the ones that can be destroyed or something like that?
(Like Gros Michel)

[buoyant pumice]

idk if that was easily noticeable lol

Not exactly

sometimes the banana just doesn’t die

[tepid lava]

Slay the sock and buskin?

[buoyant pumice]

sometimes you need the mult

[knotty zodiac]

imo the hardest are the ones that mess up your scoring like troubadour

[buoyant pumice]

yeah abt

[tall sky]

troubadour i got during a stm run

it just made sense to sticker alongside it

[buoyant pumice]

i don’t remember how i got a lot of them but i remember glass joker and shortcut giving me a lot of issues

i just could not find either of those for the life of me

[knotty zodiac]

yep sometimes that type of run just comes together. never did for me so i had to carry it as deadweight a few runs ago

[tall sky]

had an 8.5x glass joker run yesterday

anaglyph skipped for charm tag cuz i had nothing better to use my double tags

[buoyant pumice]

lmao

did you use dice?

[tall sky]

at one point

[knotty zodiac]

ah and jokers that have appearance prereqs like stone joker. can be tricky if you dont usually have stone in your deck

[tall sky]

but i dropped it for blueprint i think

[upper spade]

So.
Stone Joker, Glass Joker, Steel Joker and Lucky Cat?

[tall sky]

lowkey i think the hardest ones you typically get are the ones that kinda slip by

[buoyant pumice]

i’m probably gonna get back into playing multiplayer if anything bc i quit doing that to focus on c++

[tall sky]

like page 1 jokers

[knotty zodiac]

right. i dont remember if there are others

[tall sky]

or stuff like credit card

[buoyant pumice]

bc if i kept playing MP while trying to finish c++ it would have taken me two years

[tall sky]

stone joker has to be easily the worst out of all but i think marble is worse

not a lot of situations is adding stones beneficial

[knotty zodiac]

oh ya actively messes up your deck. but not too bad if added at round 23

[tall sky]

has to be a last minute bank or a hologram run

[buoyant pumice]

marble has hologram and stone and that’s abt it

it’s good to keep for a few rounds and that’s it

[tall sky]

stone is not a good reason for marble joker

[knotty zodiac]

marble vampire can be good

[buoyant pumice]

No but it is funny and if you’re playing pairs deck size doesn’t matter that much

[tall sky]

it's slow, there's better alternatives

[buoyant pumice]

that or high card

[knotty zodiac]

on petroglyph runs stone can be a bit scary for pairs

[buoyant pumice]

i almost never take that tbh

[knotty zodiac]

another whole ante to scale tho!

[buoyant pumice]

yeah, but the hand loss is rlly bad for most scaling

at least the kind i usually pick up like green or RTB

[knotty zodiac]

ya it depends on whether you have grabber and which ante offers the hiero

[echo sphinx]

straight flush

its so funny looking at the hand and the game logically goes "yeah thats a straight flush"

[knotty zodiac]

i always crash my four finger runs by accidentally playing an unleveled straight flush. too much trauma in this ss for me

[echo sphinx]

just level it up TRUE

[potent tree]

chat...do i pick up STM? steel at x2, DL active, wee at 640

[knotty zodiac]

hm usually if straight is 5+ alr i dont bother

[potent tree]

boss is VV

i'm prolly gonna sell jolly ofc

[upper spade]

You maining pairs?

[echo sphinx]

fair, straight flush planet scaling is not usually worth

[potent tree]

4oak on wee

[upper spade]

I'd say keep Jolly.
If you take Shoot The Moon, it kinda wastes some discard space.

Don't take STM.

[knotty zodiac]

unless youre deckfixed towards queens alr, prob a bad pick. whats your scoring like with the current setup, like 100k per hand?

[upper spade]

Plus, your Jolly is holographic.

[potent tree]

we took it anyways.

this'll be enough

[upper spade]

That works I guess.

[potent tree]

too bad steel always triggers before STM

[edgy stone]

How can you take an eternal steven?

[upper spade]

Steven is much more helpful that people let on.

[potent tree]

i needed it for ante 5 i think? i found flint and needed to survive

[knotty zodiac]

eternal steven is an autopick in round 1 if no other mult/chip/econ is in the shop

[potent tree]

wasn't round 1 tho for me lol

i even sold my hex cause i hadn't found anything till wee in ante 3

[knotty zodiac]

sure ya sometimes its just desperate times

[upper spade]

If there's one Joker I've thought that kinda holds up nicely the whole game.
It'd be Abstract.

[potent tree]

cavendish:

[knotty zodiac]

always happy to see abstract in ante 2+. if i dont need it, the run is prob alr comfy

[potent tree]

(of course harder to get, but still it produces more of an impact with very low base mult)

[upper spade]

Yeah.
But I kinda meant one you can get nicely.
Cavendish is more dependent on if Gros wants to expire, then you gotta find it.

[potent tree]

funny you mention that

i had a rental gros in this run from about ante 4

[fringe nebula]

abstract at ante 1 is also good

+3 is enough to beat ante 1

[potent tree]

didn't expire even up to ante 8 small blind, then found DL and decided to toss it

and that ended up saving me

[upper spade]

B r u h.

[knotty zodiac]

i love DL

[potent tree]

honestly vagabond just enables DL that much faster

[edgy stone]

For me it's Supernova, this joker is goat

[potent tree]

i had a wraith in ante 6 shop that gave vagabond but decided to skip

of course not knowing DL would appear in ante 8

[vestal copper]

dl is who again

[upper spade]

I think my love for Abstract shows.

[vestal copper]

crazy

[fringe nebula]

i tried the seed from doc's most recent video, and the build ended up looking really different

[potent tree]

negative duo my beloved

[edgy stone]

All are common

[upper spade]

I know.

[digital pewter]

can't believe it took me this long to sticker riff raff

[fringe nebula]

i mean, riff raff is a common joker

[digital pewter]

and for once it's high card and not pairslop

[digital pewter]

yeah that's what surprises me

[knotty zodiac]

is hc not slop? xD

[digital pewter]

i just thought i would've gotten it before this

[digital pewter]

not as much as pair

they're similar though

[fringe nebula]

there are more interesting things you can do with high card i'd say

[digital pewter]

pair levels are better because of the greater chips

but hc is just silly sometimes

honestly though i could've gone pairs too

[upper spade]

I've only done pair once.
High card maybe three times.
Everything else has been either Two Pair, Full House, Flush or Straight.
Occasionally Five of a Kind.

[digital pewter]

i just played more high card

[edgy stone]

Why didnt u sell buglar?

[digital pewter]

didn't need to ig?

[vestal copper]

no flush fives nor flush houses?

[digital pewter]

i'm not going endless

just didnt think of it

[fringe nebula]

you can beat verdant leaf without selling any of your jokers

[digital pewter]

anyways

[upper spade]

Only played them once or twice.
Never really could get beyond Five of a Kind.

[digital pewter]

another one down

huh

[vestal copper]

deaths

[digital pewter]

there we go

[knotty zodiac]

im all ears

[digital pewter]

high card, even if compared to pairs, means you can more easily build held in hand builds (mostly)

if only 1 extra card

some jokers also work with playing one card like dna and sixth sense

[knotty zodiac]

i know hc give up some discard control and joker synergy in exchange for stuntman synergy and being guaranteed to be playable every hand

[fringe nebula]

pair can't do this

[upper spade]

Seems about right.

[knotty zodiac]

ah i see. dna synergy

this is arguably just as easy to play as pairs tho?

[echo sphinx]

"oh that doesnt look too bad its just red stake+"
looks at 3 slots

[knotty zodiac]

its a walk in the park compared to golden needle and jokerless

[sullen mantle]

Would it be better to copy Lucky Cat or Baseball
Lucky Cat's at X9,75

[echo sphinx]

me when green joker/bus

[upper spade]

Lucky Cat probably.

[fringe nebula]

you can score 100-300k (assuming vessel and crimson heart) with only 3 jokers

it's fine

[knotty zodiac]

youll want more planet scaling to make up for less xmult

[sullen mantle]

Smoked too much Ecto

[fringe nebula]

baseball is x5.0625

[echo sphinx]

game somehow gave me double wees to start

[fringe nebula]

lucky cat is better

[fringe nebula]

why are you pinging me for this again

[sullen mantle]

Oh mb thought I removed the mention

[knotty zodiac]

fist the weewee kinda run

[potent tree]

well that's that, game said "screw you" and made my wee short of 1k

[knotty zodiac]

rip

[potent tree]

it is 3am wow

i told my mom i'd go sleep at 1...

[sullen mantle]

Are we serious

Do I sell pants or oops

[digital pewter]

AND FROM THE TOP ROPE

[potent tree]

mm that's a toughie...i see your cat which is why you want to keep oops

but if it's high enough already i'd say ditch oops

[knotty zodiac]

probably pants

[potent tree]

what's your pants and cat at

if only that golden wasn't eternal

[lost vault]

purrs

[vestal copper]

🐱

[sullen mantle]

Pants +90
Lucky X10,25

[potent tree]

and your primary hand? with level

[lost vault]

probablu the pantaloons

[sullen mantle]

I'll be honest I don't know why I don't move to something like Full House or something

It has faster scaling

[potent tree]

nah 2pair is perfectly fine

[lost vault]

if it works it works :3

sell your pants

[glossy forge]

Eternal Midas?

[lost vault]

now!!!

[potent tree]

but if cat is 10.25 and being copied then sell pants yes

[knotty zodiac]

fh harder to play unless your deckfixing is advanced

[potent tree]

you're getting over x1000 mult just from copying cat twice

[fringe nebula]

i wouldn't take because of rebate

[lost vault]

normally yes but you have rebate

[sullen mantle]

Hm

[lost vault]

good enoughe con

[rancid gull]

Dude!? Insane pull

[potent tree]

just savescum if you make a mistake, ez

[vestal copper]

a here, win one, even

[fringe nebula]

ik right? like hooly shit

[knotty zodiac]

$12 now for "$4 straight flush" minigame for the rest of the run

[potent tree]

hmm...can i get the remaining 54 stickers and then rulebreaker before i find tarot tycoon? probably

[fringe nebula]

i wouldn't take

save money

[vestal copper]

tarot tycoon is so silly with zodiac

[fringe nebula]

tarot tycoon red seal sounds like bonkers ngl

[vestal copper]

with fortune teller 🔥

[knotty zodiac]

half of the rounds it's -$3, the other half it's +$6-9. it seems net positive? obv ded slot by ante 3

[rancid gull]

Dude!? Insane pull

[vestal copper]

a pull so insane he said it twice

[knotty zodiac]

insane pull

[fringe nebula]

by the way, having only 3 hands made me mald enough, but the water made me mald even more

[lost vault]

Dude?! Insane pull?

[knotty zodiac]

we have the same number of jokers left. so close

[digital pewter]

oh swag

[knotty zodiac]

spreadsheet since i got tired of looking through the collection pages

[fringe nebula]

wait you haven't gold stickered hanging chad yet????

this far into the grind?

[knotty zodiac]

i think i undervalue retriggers

[fringe nebula]

red card too, like lmao

[rancid gull]

Shoot the moon is a little silly

[sullen mantle]

How am I still surviving

[knotty zodiac]

i take red card a fair amount but usually give up scaling it

[fervent haven]

What percentage of seeds do you guys think perfect unseeded gameplay could naneinf on?

[knotty zodiac]

i hated shoot the moon but i came around to it. still, it doesnt usually stay til ante 8

[fringe nebula]

red card works really well if you have an econ joker, and Sometimes taking hermit worth more than +3 though

[knotty zodiac]

i probably undervalue +3 mult compared to emperor/hanged

[fringe nebula]

+6 mult per shop is really strong

[rancid gull]

One of the fastest scaling mults in the game

Pretty gouda

[knotty zodiac]

ya prob just need to commit to scaling the red card instead of "ooh fancy tarot"

[fervent haven]

Just full skip red card except for hermits and you win

[digital pewter]

crazy thing is that i have all of these stickered

[fringe nebula]

what deck are you guys mainly using for c++

[knotty zodiac]

zodiac

[digital pewter]

yellow deck so far

i kinda wanna do an anaglyph deck for one of those eventual late-run negative skips but i doubt it'd give me anything i needed

except for like, maybe icecream

[knotty zodiac]

i think at 135 it's too late

[digital pewter]

yeah

[knotty zodiac]

even at 60-70 it was kinda underwhelming

[shadow tangle]

is plasma deck a mod or is it in game

js asking

[digital pewter]

ingame

[knotty zodiac]

base game

[digital pewter]

second to last deck

[shadow tangle]

dang

so i need to beat black stake?

[rancid gull]

What’s your first 14 jokers

[digital pewter]

probably idk the req lol

[shadow tangle]

isnt plasma deck the one that does balanced

[shadow tangle]

that looks cool

[lost vault]

it also doubles blind size

[shadow tangle]

OH

makes sense

i mean it sounds overpowered

but then again

[lofty vault]

Black deck

[shadow tangle]

the highest stake ive beaten is only green

I'VE CHANGED MY NAME

there we go

[rancid gull]

First profile ghost

Second black

[fringe nebula]

first profile yellow
second magic deck

[glossy forge]

I used whatever deck at the moment felt like fun. Mostly rotated between Blue, Yellow, Ghost and Abandoned

[fervent haven]

I haven't gotten c++ yet but I love yellow deck

[eager bluff]

Any tips on magic deck?

[eager bluff]

Goat yellow deck

[lost vault]

it really isnt

[vocal rose]

used basically all for my first c++

second c++ I did blue only

[covert steeple]

Double the blind size means double the pain imo

[ember glen]

magic deck and using all my fools on wheel ♥️

[vocal rose]

the downside massively changes everything

[royal bobcat]

pbr jokers when

[storm portal]

Guys all of my progress except my collection reset for some reason, is there any way to get my data back, on android

[lofty vault]

You might be a tad bit helpful

It's my boy chicot

[eager bluff]

Blue chips jokers and planet cards are very strong on plasma deck

[royal bobcat]

inb4 you get triboulet

[humble dune]

Oh ma gawwww

[lofty vault]

Chicot

[lofty vault]

The printer

[royal bobcat]

that aint bad

[lofty vault]

Yeah it's chicot

[royal bobcat]

on black deck u want perkeo more than usual

[lofty vault]

Better than canio

[royal bobcat]

better than trib

always works unlike canio

[lofty vault]

Not as good as yorik

[royal bobcat]

yorick and perkeo woulda been better

[lofty vault]

Especially cuz I had a hermit

Ah well chicot is decent and should make it easier

But it still is black so

How funny would a poly chicot be

There's a riff Raff in the shop

[royal bobcat]

u got no cash tho

i'd buy riff raff and leave

if you get no scoring from the riff raff its joever

[lofty vault]

I hexed the chicot

[echo sphinx]

:thonk:

sounds horrible

[lofty vault]

May have been a mistake runs over

[simple jacinth]

It's not the worst

[echo sphinx]

im rushing challenges to play jokerless om

[simple jacinth]

If you're not already very selective about what you buy, this is good training

[lofty vault]

Buy everything

[echo sphinx]

b-but tarot and BIG MONEY

[lofty vault]

Get all the jokers you find

Sell jokers to have to buy new jokers

[simple jacinth]

I still haven't finished Jokerless (for a second time) 😓

[lofty vault]

Sell those new jokers for worse jokers

[simple jacinth]

I don't know what the strat is

[lofty vault]

Planets

[echo sphinx]

bootstraps?

[simple jacinth]

Well yeah

But which one, is the thing

[lofty vault]

Tarot's

[echo sphinx]

wdym planets

[simple jacinth]

You need a fine balance of consistency and scaling

[echo sphinx]

tarots also get price inflation unless ure telling me to get the tarot joker or smth

[lofty vault]

Talking about jokerless

[simple jacinth]

Straights and 4oak scale well but you don't find them and you just die

[lofty vault]

Then find them

[lost vault]

nuke nuke

truke nuke

[lofty vault]

Chat shop 1 riffraff or buffoon pack

[simple jacinth]

I'm half inclined to think you have to a) scale two planets at once

raff

[lofty vault]

Do I gamble on the baffoon or with the riff

[simple jacinth]

And/or b) hope you hit a card with an edition

take the riffraff

[echo sphinx]

lets riffraff

[lofty vault]

It gave me face and squrimbo

Guess face 4 oak slop

[echo sphinx]

it is what it is, play with them and riffraff 2 more until photochad TRUST

[lofty vault]

Damn odd tod and gluttony

Guys

2 riff Raffs?

[lost vault]

hydrogen bomb or coughing baby

[royal bobcat]

i told u m8

[lofty vault]

Riffraff failed me

[royal bobcat]

i said it would

[lofty vault]

2 riff Raffs or nah

[royal bobcat]

you should always take into consideration what happens if you dont get what you want

meh

[lofty vault]

Could be photochad

[royal bobcat]

sure whatever its silly and funny

[lofty vault]

This is black deck

Riffraff generation would be filled

This line up... It's so ass

Ok maybe not crafty cuz I took a Jupiter

Yippee banana and choas

Ok uh bye banana it was nice seeing you for 30 seconds

Amazing didn't draw the flush and died

[subtle drum]

ayo

[subtle drum]

ofc

[subtle drum]

throwback goated

lmao white stake react "oh nah i disagree with ur opinion so you must be noob 😠😠"

[vestal copper]

yeah

throwback is just objectively not good

[royal bobcat]

you can think throwback is fun but its shit

[lost vault]

throwback sucks ass

[royal bobcat]

[vestal copper]

f tier

[lost vault]

it can only possibly be usable in white stake

therefore

white stake react

[royal bobcat]

throwback is buns but not the good kind

[vestal copper]

throwback is soggy bread

[green meteor]

Throwback is goated

Purely for the reason that any time someone mentions it, I will make a joke about Jimbo throwing it back

[lost vault]

eyes

[vestal copper]

taking throwback is throwing

[fringe nebula]

maybe perkeo immolate erosion arrowhead throwback could work

[lost vault]

taking throwback is throwing it back

but i can do that without throwback

ggs

[lost vault]

1 card deck

204 mult

[vestal copper]

put baron into it 💯 🔥

[green meteor]

When I first got onto red stake, I started skipping every small blind because I thought there wasn’t a point in playing them anymore

[rancid gull]

Dude!? Insane pull

[green meteor]

😔

[fringe nebula]

a pull so insane he said it thrice

[lost vault]

she pull my dude till im insane

[green meteor]

I’ve matured since then

[vestal copper]

maturing is realising flushes are bad

[fringe nebula]

chat a question

which one between these two pics is more pairslop

[lost vault]

maturing is Revolving around the Sun

[vestal copper]

1 id say

[rancid gull]

Right one

I was here for this question last time

Right one is absolutely pair slop central

[green meteor]

Left because there are more Joker slots

[rancid gull]

Rtb so no face cards, banner so no discards

Card sharp

So an easy hand to create

[lost vault]

trad pairslop versus modern pairslop

[vestal copper]

trading card just to play pairslop 😔

[rancid gull]

Hologram for deck load

Bloat

So an easier hand to create

Would be pairs

Constellation just cuz

[green meteor]

There should be a Pear food Joker

[lost vault]

yay 60 chips

[green meteor]

It’s like Jolly, but it dies

[fringe nebula]

ok true
i guess rtb banner one is just the ultimate pairslop build then

nothing can beat the pairslop energy from the rtb banner holo card sharp

[vestal copper]

teto pear

[rancid gull]

Banner implies a pair build more

[lost vault]

burglar...

[rancid gull]

Yippeeee

[lost vault]

banner should be 50 chips per

[fringe nebula]

too strong

40

[rancid gull]

What about with blue stake change

[vestal copper]

there need to be way more 4s in card stats

4 buck rebate maybe

[fringe nebula]

and 7

[lost vault]

maybe 40 would be fine for that

[tranquil steppe]

6,7

[fringe nebula]

there need to be a joker that does something for 7

[vestal copper]

get out

[lost vault]

thing is

meow

[vestal copper]

make all 7s held in hand do the lucky card effect 🔥

[green meteor]

They should buff a Joker that works on 6s by also affecting 7s :3

Miaw

[vestal copper]

infinite money farm

[granite ridge]

ball atro

[vestal copper]

sixth sevense

[rancid gull]

I’m pretty sure someone thought of it, but my joker would be this
When you play three 7’s turn them into Lucky cards and ups the chances for them to trigger

[lost vault]

sixth seventh

[tranquil steppe]

Why not have 3 7s trigger any random effect? Since it’s all chance and whatnot

[lost vault]

why is it all chance exactly

[vestal copper]

wym any random

[green meteor]

Three 7s is jackpot

Opposite of random

[lost vault]

yeah

[green meteor]

It’s the best possibility

[rancid gull]

I want a lucky card generator like Midas mask

But for 7’s

[vestal copper]

maybe if 3 7s are played rig all the chances to always strike next hand

luckys broken again tho

[green meteor]

Three 7s guarantees all chances this hand:

[tranquil steppe]

But it’s all luck playing slots?

[green meteor]

The humble Flush Five of Glass 7s

[lost vault]

if you play three 7s in 1 hand, 1 in 100 for $1000000. if this probability fails, lose $40000

[green meteor]

Actual gambling in my poker game?!?!

[lost vault]

:o

[knotty zodiac]

can director's cut reroll into a boss blind you've seen before in an ante 8 run?

[vestal copper]

irl btw

[rancid gull]

I think so, if ur talking about the retcon

If just the single reroll then no

[knotty zodiac]

assuming you dont exhaust the pool of seen bosses, it wont repeat?

[rancid gull]

Actually that’s a good question

[fringe nebula]

after playing 7 hands that contains 7, gain voucher tag

[knotty zodiac]

or is it that you wont be the immediately previous boss

[rancid gull]

I don’t think it would

[knotty zodiac]

context- i only really need +chip for eye and flint and i've already seen eye, want to drop the +chip now

ill look on the interwebs brb

[fringe nebula]

beating the eye with stone cards is more rad

i

i died to ante 1 small blind

[humble dune]

Ignore the message THANK YOU BALATRO GODS

[jagged cliff]

i thought it was about the celestial pack

[fringe nebula]

unbelievable

go next

Can I just say I love all of you guys

Yall are great people 😭

[jagged cliff]

you are as well

[vestal copper]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1007424479951073350.png

thank you, you are the goat too

[bold crystal]

🙂

i won btw

[jagged cliff]

where are the shovel knight crossover cards

[fringe nebula]

i feel like copying sock is better here

nvm

yeah copying trib

is better

[thin loom]

Hit my first naninf. Was originally just trying to see how far i could get but when i started having to spend more cryptids than i could make per round i just went for it. Mightve overshot/overkilled it a bit.

[jagged cliff]

nah copy golden ticket for sure

[vestal copper]

copy dna 🔥

[jagged cliff]

copy brainstorm

[subtle drum]

explain

[lost vault]

no

[subtle drum]

every time you skip you get mult

that’s a great deal for me

[lost vault]

thats the problem

you shouldnt be skipping

it loses so much value

[jagged cliff]

why not, free tags and everything

[subtle drum]

exactly

[lost vault]

its not free

[subtle drum]

free money

[jagged cliff]

we love skipping!!

[lost vault]

you lose end of round money

[subtle drum]

free negative jokers

[lost vault]

you lose joker value generation

[subtle drum]

yeah but you make more

[lost vault]

yay, rental crafty joker, sure will help a lot on my pair build

[lost vault]

not really

[jagged cliff]

but what if i skip to get free rare joker and next joker is negative, and i get a negative blueprint, thats value!!

[subtle drum]

unlucky what can i say

[lost vault]

:o

[lost vault]

rentals appear pretty frequently

and negative tags have a pretty high likelyhood of giving you useless shit

[jagged cliff]

balatro is about gambling!!! we love to gamble!!!

[subtle drum]

money skip tag ;-;

[subtle drum]

fr

[lost vault]

not every fucking tag is a money tag

the ones that are are better than the rest

save for speed and trash

[subtle drum]

never said it was

[lost vault]

well you implied it

you earn more money from skipping than playing the round

apparently

thats what you said

[subtle drum]

i didn’t mean to imply it i was just pointing out that it exists

[subtle drum]

sometimes

[lost vault]

okay then only skip for money

throwback still wont be good

[lost vault]

rarely

not to mention seeing a shop is worth lots

[jagged cliff]

are we really supposed to listen to her? her role is literally one of the Jokers, we cant take her seriously!! shes joking!!!

[subtle drum]

well throwback is doing fine for me so ima keep using it

[lost vault]

skipping a round is basically just making the game shorter for a usually small reward

[lost vault]

that will serve you poorly on high stakes

spectred has a pretty good video on skip tags

changed my whole view

[knotty zodiac]

yt streamer claims that boss blinds won't repeat until you've seen them all

( @rancid gull )

[echo sphinx]

lets go

[jagged cliff]

oh that one is easy, who even needs jokers anyway?

[green apex]

am i the only one who finds omelette hard

[fringe nebula]

please get ante 2 water and ante 3 flint

[digital pewter]

i beat jokerless second try with 3oak

lowkey not too bad...

[echo sphinx]

ikr

[jagged cliff]

First try with flushes over here

I really thought it'd be hard but its pretty do able

[green apex]

wouldnt straights be the easiest

[digital pewter]

my first try was full houses and it just did not work out lol

[fringe nebula]

jokerless took me several attempts because the first few shops got clogged by fucking wheel, temperance, hex and ankh

also died to ante 3 flint

[jagged cliff]

I just focused on getting one suit, get as much glass as possible, level up flush as much as i can, hoping for some seals and that was pretty much it

i think i got the planet voucher in the first shop also, the one where your most played hand always appears in packs

[fringe nebula]

earlygame flint on jokerless is just a death sentence

[jagged cliff]

that was p nice

[jagged cliff]

full houses suck anyway!!!

[jagged cliff]

we love the flint

[fringe nebula]

there was also one time where i got the water on golden needle challenge

fortunately, there was a reroll tag

[ebon loom]

Got a run with NO strength tarots for 11 fucking antes even while rerolling like hell

Absolutely abysmal luck

I was starting to be convinced that I got something that made them unable to appear

[green apex]

FUCK DIDNT DRAW MY STRAIGHT

[jagged cliff]

shouldnt have gone for straights

flush all the way

[echo sphinx]

rip

[fringe nebula]

thank you game, very useful for earlygame

i will die because i only have 3 hands

[echo sphinx]

earlygame is still copable with +mult enhancement
midgame is kinda deadge in the water

[fringe nebula]

how am i supposed to survive ante 1 with this

let's open celestial

and i'm dead, just like that

simple

[exotic orchid]

Completed jokerless and 100% achievements.

[echo sphinx]

oh my days

[fringe nebula]

nvm i survived thanks to luck

[echo sphinx]

holy cltch

[fringe nebula]

....

i need immediate score, not supernova

ok, perishable rental lusty will do

nvm

i should've taken that supernova

[green apex]

FUCK THE PSYCHIC

I CANT READ

[fringe nebula]

even if it barely scores

[echo sphinx]

idk abt that one chief

[echo sphinx]

rip

[exotic silo]

I'm deep into an idol run, I got the setup after dealing with two consecutive Idol misses near the end of the deck fixing phase and The Club right after with a clutch Chicot(my deck is all red seal lucky Queens of Clubs)

will share pics soon

the run could keep going if I find Observatory, I have Perkeo, both BP and BS and a negative Showman

problem is that I don't have even Telescope yet

[fringe nebula]

ok, i'm starting to think that misprint tech is necessary to survive black deck earlygame................ @rancid gull

[exotic silo]

stacking negative planet cards is making my phone lag lmfao

[fringe nebula]

why are you endless gaming on phone

[exotic silo]

idk it just kept snowballing

[jagged cliff]

make sure your phone doesnt start burning like the scores

[exotic silo]

it will never do that

[fringe nebula]

ok let's do something goofy

[exotic silo]

the game will burn instead

[jagged cliff]

pay your debt bro

[exotic silo]

next month

[jagged cliff]

im still waiting on the last months pay

so get on with it

[fringe nebula]

there

[jagged cliff]

thank you, see you next month

[fringe nebula]

?!?!??????!???!?!?!?!?!?!????!????!??!?!

[stark charm]

what i do here

[viral raft]

New run

Also decide a build goddamn, how do you play bloodstone hanging while playing baron bud 😭

[shell dagger]

nothing

[stark charm]

most messy game of all time

there is photo too

[viral raft]

Imo decide for the onw that you believe will work

If you don't have 100 grillion steel kings well just go bloodstone + dice

When combine with random bullshit that works with bloodstone

[random ice]

Holy shit ANTE 3

Just abandon run you've already won lmao

Rebate, AJ, BP and Bs

[fringe nebula]

credit card value, and then hallu gave me temperance

[trail swift]

My deck is rock hard

[jagged cliff]

rock on

[tepid verge]

i KNOW your ass got this from a youtube video

i mean the joke

bro is NOT the Big R

[trail swift]

Joke in balatro discord
Looks inside
Stolen from roffle

[tepid verge]

exactlyyyyy

[jagged cliff]

everything leads back to roffle

[tepid verge]

when I duplicate a legendary joker so its a roffle reference

[jagged cliff]

when I play balatro so it's a roffle reference

[trail swift]

True..

[tepid verge]

when i say the letter "B" so its a roffle reference becaause he plays Balatro

what if i just like edit one of his thumbnails with like a custom card

[jagged cliff]

do it

[jagged cliff]

when I wear glasses and a black tshirt so im lowkey just cosplaying roffle and its a roffle reference

[stone shell]

how good is 5 space jokers fr

[trail swift]

(None of them hit)

[stone shell]

all five hits the random ass straight flush for fun but not the high cards

[stone shell]

lowk might need to pass blueprint

ive seen early rental on black deck and i do not like it

[jagged cliff]

whats the worst that can happen

just buy it and sell scary

then get square

[stone shell]

good point

very scary to take early rentals on black deck though

[jagged cliff]

why do you have one then already

get that scary man outta here

!!

[tepid verge]

final one for the night

[stone shell]

i saw a holographic skip and thought it was worth it

[jagged cliff]

hows bro coming up with these

[fringe nebula]

black deck++ progress : 26/150

[stone shell]

took scary because i was ideally gonna get a high score with one scary hand and then sell him

[tepid verge]

these are just screenshots from his channel

[jagged cliff]

oh right, i forgot that he wrote those titles in those vids mb

[stone shell]

okay in my defense a shop on blackdeck is worth so little when i can barely afford shit

plus i need scoring asap

[fringe nebula]

why are you playing black deck again (or was it for no reason)

[stone shell]

no reason other than i felt like it

[vestal copper]

is this real

[tepid verge]

obviously.

[jagged cliff]

black deck is fun

[stone shell]

god i shouldve not taken that rental blueprint

[jagged cliff]

nah its fine

[tepid verge]

yeah, why wouldnt it be. just look at him. hes the gayest man that looks straight

[stone shell]

IT REALLY ISNT IM GOING INTO NEXT SHOP WITH 5 DOLLARS

[jagged cliff]

Youll be fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[fringe nebula]

dude, wasteful and grabber feels so HUGE on black deck

they're so gamechanging

[proper pollen]

can I beat ante 8?

[vestal copper]

hit that vagabond

[jagged cliff]

why not copy square

[stone shell]

never listening to a spade again/j

[stone shell]

scaling

[jagged cliff]

i think youll almost make it

[fringe nebula]

money solves balatro

and you can't solve balatro without money

[stone shell]

also to ragebait

[jagged cliff]

WHAT!!

[vestal copper]

roleism

[proper pollen]

♠️

tbf the discord spade looks like something else

[jagged cliff]

Why yall hating

[fringe nebula]

damn, i have said "money solves balatro" 8 times in this server

it's slowly becoming my catchphrase

[stone shell]

varv

do i sell the blueprint

[vestal copper]

spades are the most popular rank arent they

[fringe nebula]

idk

i don't think you can survive ante 2

[jagged cliff]

thought it be hearts

[fringe nebula]

without blueprint

[stone shell]

i have holographic square

a good hand scores 800 ill be fine

[proper pollen]

do I split the yaoi photo chad for trading card?

[stone shell]

the problem is my econ

[fringe nebula]

how much do you score without blueprint copying sq

[stone shell]

500 on a highcard or pair, 800 with twopair

[vestal copper]

get that photo out

[stone shell]

score will go up relatively quick since its still early

[fringe nebula]

that is fi- oh right you only have 3 hands instead of 4

[stone shell]

the alternative is 5 bucks in a shop and probably not affording anything

i can save myself 5 bucks by just selling him

[fringe nebula]

if you can score 2k, then go

i would say sell bp

[stone shell]

boss blind is the window so it shouldnt be an issue

i think i'll sell

lowk nothing here is worth affording

yeah beat the boss but i have no idea what to do

i can probably buy and sell popcorn for small blind to keep econ alive and gamble on a better shop

[fringe nebula]

yeah
