[dusty void]

I ROLLED A FUCKING PERKEO

[pale wolf]

taking it is numerically correct

[fringe nebula]

assuming you're not in an immediate danger, it's better to save money for interes

t

[dusty void]

It's at 56 now

So yea

[pale wolf]

it is literally triple the score, it's going to save money over time just by winning faster/ more reliably

[dusty void]

I'm running a consistent 100k pair build

So yea

[pale wolf]

there should be a boss blind that adds cards to your deck

[fringe nebula]

how many cards have you destroyed before taking erosion again

[pale wolf]

The Glut

it was at 43 cards so 9 removed

[fringe nebula]

oh yeah i would take erosion in that case lol

[pale wolf]

I mean they literally said what mult it was at

36

I didn't have to do the math myself

It's one of those rare situations where you've actually removed enough cards for erosion to be useful rather than a pipe dream

[dusty void]

Fuck

[fringe nebula]

grimbo on red deck xd

[dusty void]

I rolled down pretty hard but couldn't roll an xmult

[fringe nebula]

yea i still need to clear some of the decks

[pale wolf]

The Bloat? The Boat...
The Balloon

[dusty void]

Parade

[fringe nebula]

let's see,

9zjryzey

[dusty void]

I had this run yesterday

[pale wolf]

rip

[dusty void]

You'd probably beat it I just sold

[dusty void]

Oh no I won it

[pale wolf]

i meant the other one

[dusty void]

Oh yea

[pale wolf]

was looking at the things in the background

down to 36

[dusty void]

Crimson kept hitting erosion

And flash

Which sold my first 2 hands

[stark karma]

How many bean hits do you need for ante 32 anyway?

[dusty void]

So yeah

Idk

[stark karma]

Mb then

[pale wolf]

mfw

[fringe nebula]

yeah the chance of winning is quite high

[pale wolf]

This seed s kind of cool

[fringe nebula]

midas will do alot of work here

[dusty void]

Yk I should've taken it ngl...

[dusty void]

I took bus first so I didn't use it

[fringe nebula]

ok wow

immolate it is then

[dusty void]

Yea early immo

[cloud sinew]

lol

[pale wolf]

midas's before ride the bus

[dusty void]

Woah what is this

[cloud sinew]

this is actually peak

[dusty void]

Ik but I really like rtb

[pale wolf]

https://spectralpack.github.io/TheSoul/

[dusty void]

So I took it for love of the game

Thanks

[cloud sinew]

show gold stake

[dusty void]

I probably shouldn't have taken it though I agree

Especially cause I rolled two better flat mult

[pale wolf]

I can understand not wanting to stick with the rental Green Joker but it was probably the play

[dusty void]

I hate grimbo sm

[pale wolf]

I'm not sure if the ride the bus was on the first reroll or the second though

[dusty void]

Such a boring ass joker

[pale wolf]

or like shop

[dusty void]

Second

[fringe nebula]

and i still have $21 lmao

[dusty void]

WHAT

RETCON WAS NEXT???
FUCK

Omds I suckkkkk

[pale wolf]

lol I posted that

[dusty void]

Oh you did

Uh

Gretsch myhy7

F9chcnrhd

[fringe nebula]

you didn't take that obelisk?

oh yeah you don't have the square joker so you'll end up losing because of the lack of chips

[dusty void]

There's a blue

Later

[dusty void]

My hand distribution was ass tbh

Had like 9 2pair and 7 pair

Also I'm cheeks with obelisk

[fringe nebula]

mine looks like this

[dusty void]

Dan

[fringe nebula]

grimbo at +25 and square +52

[dusty void]

Mn

Fuck forgot to crop

Well it's clear varv got ts

[keen pilot]

perfect

[latent egret]

would it be possible to reverse engineer a seed (or multiple seeds)

from what you see in it

like the draws/the shop

or is that a p=np type of problem

[viral raft]

The draws of the rounds are not defined by blind, are defined by the round, if i play small blind i get the same hand draws as Boss blind if i skip everything

Also the shop can change if you buy stuff, making it change because of the not repeat stuff thingy

[keen pilot]

y'all want some chips?

[frank grove]

you could certainly get an approximation of your seed cause of how the game generates them based on stuff like how long you've had the game open and such

[viral raft]

Ice cream looks peak

[honest latch]

new joker idea

#genius

oh i meant to put 1 in 10

[manic kettle]

That seems incredibly powerful for a common joker

[honest latch]

i forgot to put a rarity

[manic kettle]

Ah, nvm then lol

[edgy stone]

I need some advices for challenge "double or nothing". Reach ante 4 and all cards are debuffed

[vestal copper]

this is obscenely broken

[cloud sinew]

theoretically yes

but itd probably take a very long time

you could just write a hyper specific filter for immolate (seed searcher) based on exactly what appears

[honest latch]

how would you fix it

[cloud sinew]

but if it's specific enough it's 1 in 2 trillion pretty much

[keen pilot]

Hmm, is it worth $8?

[cloud sinew]

so youd need to search every seed basically

[cursive crater]

yes

[honest latch]

minecraft players can do it im sure its possible

[vestal copper]

its fundamentally broken ngl

[honest latch]

i didnt put much thought into it

[cloud sinew]

this is exponentially scaling

its ridiculous

[vestal copper]

also it scales exponentiallu lmfao

swash also eating good

[cloud sinew]

1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 8 -> 16 -> 32

[edgy stone]

10 rounds for x3 mult. Too poor with a rare joker.

[cloud sinew]

6 rounds and you have 32 jokers

[vestal copper]

5 gajillion jokers by endgame

[cloud sinew]

its an econ joker atp, and eventually you'll have enough that it's practically guaranteed

[keen pilot]

Actually, wouldn't the negative copy create more negative copies? So you'd get increasingly more copies per round?

[cloud sinew]

9 rounds and you're at 512 jokers

12 and youre at 4096

[keen pilot]

lmao

[vestal copper]

also swash is an instant win

[cloud sinew]

this would be an instant win as long as you survive 6 rounds or so with it

[edgy stone]

Oh ok, for econ it's good

[cloud sinew]

you dont need any other jokers

[vestal copper]

true

[honest latch]

i didnt think about dat

[cursive crater]

cryptid type balancing

[vestal copper]

true

[cloud sinew]

honestly just "creates a negative copy of itself every round" as an effect on its own is already too unbalanced

adding scoring on top of that is insane

[honest latch]

put this in a cryptid mod and set it to exotic

[cloud sinew]

"1 in 10 chance to give x3 mult" when does it give the xmult

[edgy stone]

What would happen if it's a nature negative?

[cloud sinew]

im not sure there is a vanilla example close enough to make it seem vanilla wording

[honest latch]

i didnt think about dat

[lyric karma]

Absolutely massive bait

[cursive crater]

😭

[vestal copper]

pluebrint tho

[lyric karma]

Im taking it totally

[vestal copper]

yeah

[edgy stone]

Maybe each ante is sensible?

[honest latch]

i was thinking of a card that did the same thing as lucky cat but for glass cards and then i realized that was already a fucking joker

[keen pilot]

If we're sharing ideas tho: what do y'all think of a scoring equivalent of to do list?
Like, idk "Gain x0.2 if poker hand is a [random hand], poker hand changes at the end of round (and maybe after every hand)"

[honest latch]

wait this is actually good

[vestal copper]

obelisk 2 :nails:

[honest latch]

whats the name then

[keen pilot]

Kinda

[royal bobcat]

is it really

[keen pilot]

Good question, I dunno! :D

[honest latch]

what about quota

[elder blade]

kinda funny game

I love plasma deck

[honest latch]

what the hell are they typing

[keen pilot]

nothing

[stark karma]

You better show up in 2 antes

[keen pilot]

Except it requires no setup, but the downside is that you might not always get the hand it wants from you
It is kinda powerful tho, cuz obelisk is balanced by the fact that it can reset
This joker however would scale endlessly

So it's not that punishing if you don't draw the hand

[random lark]

don't think the mult should be reset if you can't draw a straight flush

but .2x per hand is too much

[lunar sierra]

isn't that to do list

[random lark]

to do list is money

[keen pilot]

Yeah, that's just what I said, it's a scoring equivalent of to-do list

[lunar sierra]

oh i didnt see the msg above

mb

[honest latch]

what would yall name that

[keen pilot]

There are a bunch of jokers that are similar in function, but provide different things, like bull and bootstraps, so I figured a scoring to-do list would be a fun joker

[pure schooner]

The greed they speak of in bibles

[keen pilot]

Hmm

[honest latch]

jesus christ

[pure schooner]

Sell all jokers except invis
Ankh the invis
Buy the bp
Sell the invis

[random lark]

what kind of blackrock level greed is this

[pure schooner]

Blackrock shivers at the greed
I never got a singular scoring joker to carry me out

[vestal copper]

overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer

[pure schooner]

I didnt even save the seed i js
Closed the run

Im js dissappointed😭

[honest latch]

YOU FOOL

[vestal copper]

😔

[pure schooner]

Atleast a fool is useful

[random lark]

crit for 74 on enemy vs crit for 52 on you and +25 stress to party

[keen pilot]

Bullseye?
And the joker looks like a darts board? xP
Not sure

[stark karma]

WHERE IS YOUR SCORE

[honest latch]

ehh

i said this already but i would probably name it quota

[pure schooner]

I HAD SCORING JOKERS
i found an invis
Then i got an ankh
Then i found the bp

And then greed

[echo sphinx]

gang what is tihs

[pure schooner]

Worst of the seven sins

[lyric karma]

Am i deadass

[echo sphinx]

LETS GO GAMBLING

[vestal copper]

markeidolia

[lyric karma]

just grabbed pareidolia on last shop without seeing thw boss blind

[echo sphinx]

or sell the paradolia

[vestal copper]

why

[pure schooner]

Could be worse

Could be the plant

This is why u always carry a chicot

[vestal copper]

its actually worse than a plant

[lyric karma]

Im doing it and using judgement

[keen pilot]

Anyway, is it worth $8?

[vestal copper]

xuz the cards will stay down even if you sell

[echo sphinx]

take it

[pure schooner]

Yes

[echo sphinx]

u know u want it

[lyric karma]

Plant with pareidolia is like verdant leaf but locked to that joker

[pure schooner]

Pivot to a high ccard build

[random lark]

the pairslop calls to you

[pure schooner]

All roads lead to baron mime

[vestal copper]

pairs 🤤

[keen pilot]

eternal pants =w=

[pure schooner]

All roads lead to baron mime

[keen pilot]

but eternal pants

[pure schooner]

Also
I shld always take a negative skip tag right

[keen pilot]

• I'm trying to get gold stickers

[vestal copper]

eternal pants ‼️

gg

[keen pilot]

obviously

[random lark]

baron is not always a good take but mime is always a good take

same as bloodstone/oops all sixes

[echo sphinx]

(isnt baron just "all kings get a free steel proc")

[pure schooner]

Also i really hope 1.1 promotes more endless mode builds

[random lark]

yes

[pure schooner]

Yes

[echo sphinx]

is good no

[vestal copper]

taxevasion~1

[pure schooner]

Im tired of baron mime

[echo sphinx]

you're no discord emote

[pure schooner]

I want to push to ante 30 but i dont want to keep baroning my mimes

[random lark]

baron mime or idol

[lyric karma]

I GOT A POLYCHROME TAG

[north gorge]

Need some help here. Do I copy idol or ancient. Ancient is on diamonds and idol is on clubs.

[pure schooner]

Or trib if ur lucky

[vestal copper]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1008707962249941102.png?size=48&name=true~1&lossless=true

[pure schooner]

Idol

[lyric karma]

but ended up selecting the blind by muscle memory so i lost it

😭

[pure schooner]

2x((1.5)^2)^2 vs 3x (2)^2

[pure schooner]

Idk you can do the maths

[random lark]

why the abstract

[tawny venture]

booster pack 😭

haven't come across a better joker

[pure schooner]

Matador is an underrated joker

[keen pilot]

The problem is that it only works in builds where your mult doesn't come after the steel
Like, if your base mult is only 5, and you have 2 kings in hand, you only get +6.25 mult from baron
To get good value from it, you need to dedicate the whole build to it

[pure schooner]

I js got 25 ollars on ante 1, its practically a free skip rag

Tag*

YES

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU

[keen pilot]

Sure it's technically helping, but there are many jokers that could go in that slot and provide more value

[pure schooner]

i FINNALY GOT MY LAST JOKER UNLOCK

[vestal copper]

ggs

[pure schooner]

We used to pray for times like this

This is gonna be a fun run

[zinc oracle]

im buns at balatro, but this run lowkey fun as hell so far

[fringe nebula]

stuntman, +mult and xmult

def not buns

[echo sphinx]

golden needle run. should i take it though.

[north gorge]

ty

[stone shell]

idk if this should go in modded but what does chat think about 15 hands per round being my scoring and econ

[echo sphinx]

idk what that tv rc is but 15 hand econ is pretty good methink

[stone shell]

basically hanging chad but last card

[echo sphinx]

holy crap

if you're not retriggering gold sticker then ig

[keen pilot]

beautiful

[honest latch]

i tried 😭

sorry i replied to the wrong message

but i made joker art for the thing you came up with

[versed forge]

it was a good run 😞

[stone shell]

yeah im losing from deckout before i lose from not scoring enough 😭

[lyric karma]

This is it

Finally got an edition tag

[stark karma]

Here come the voucherssssss

[lyric karma]

man that sucks this run was so good

[stark karma]

This is a great run

Wait twin

[lyric karma]

?

[north gorge]

Last question for the run. Idol missed and I'm not scoring enough with only ancient. Is it worth to drop blueprint for dusk? Run most likely ends here anyways. Id be playing wild red seal Queen's.

[keen pilot]

Okaaayy o-o

[honest latch]

drop da seed

[keen pilot]

rip gift card?

[fringe nebula]

yeah

gift card can go

[pure schooner]

Ivent deckfixed yet but is it worth selling showman or stuntman for baron

[pure schooner]

Rip brainstorm

[fringe nebula]

sell showman

[keen pilot]

Canio

[stark karma]

Wooooo! 10K!

New pb

[pure schooner]

Yea but stuntman idnt doin anything for scoring and another chad would help so im js wondering the ridl

[zinc oracle]

okay, run's been fun, 66 swackbuckler, 86 fortune teller, and most importantly +3 green joker

[pure schooner]

I js needed stuntman for beating the plant and since plants done and the spade boss is done im deckfixing towsrds spade kings

[fringe nebula]

stuntman then

[lyric karma]

i survived and won

literally holding an ante 1 death made me win

[ancient gyro]

noooo they removed my osty naneinf health farming in sts2 🥀

[fringe nebula]

https://youtu.be/9RCcMBc9cJY

[ancient gyro]

gotcha

[lyric karma]

Finally got this idiot unlocked

[weak relic]

Hmm should I do GS win streak?

[lyric karma]

(I'm never using it)

[weak relic]

Meh im too bad at this game

[ancient gyro]

up 2 u

[frank notch]

wowwwww

[zinc oracle]

yes indeed

[fringe nebula]

this seed is quite funny because you wouldn't find any scaling jokers except castle, and you will face the eye lmao

i beat it using stm, burnt joker, acrobat, constellation and castle

[fringe nebula]

it's not that bad, you just have to think

and it's easier to do on top tier decks like blue yellow etc

[keen pilot]

Surely a hanged man in a consumable slot is worth $50?

[lyric karma]

I cant believe i haven gotten chicot and canio yet

[stone shell]

lowk its worth it to me

[latent egret]

its ante 3 and you only have a wee

[fringe nebula]

i would use temperance and look for planets on shop lnao

[stone shell]

especially if canio isnt even online

[lyric karma]

sure

[latent egret]

with 3 procs

[honest latch]

this one DEFINITELY isnt meant to be taken seriously but i thought of this joker earlier

[fringe nebula]

actually yeah you have canio

[weak relic]

Yeah

[fringe nebula]

forgot about that

[weak relic]

Scale the murderer

[lyric karma]

But, how would the joker determine the first hand

[stone shell]

time for me to play some very chill black deck

on gold stake

[weak relic]

Wanna do it on yellow cuz I wanna feel like a total newbie again

[honest latch]

what

[lyric karma]

I meant hand

[weak relic]

:3

[honest latch]

you pick it from your deck

[lyric karma]

That would be lowkey broken

[honest latch]

yeah i know

[stone shell]

i lowk mentally blocked out checkered deck so hard i thought this was a modded deck from the design

[honest latch]

what would the rarity be though

[keen pilot]

I'm an absolute buffoon

[lyric karma]

rare definitively

[honest latch]

i wanna know your thoughts on it though

[fringe nebula]

"chill" yeah man sure this is a chill thing to do (i just did this today)

[keen pilot]

I used my hanged man to remove a couple non-face cards

[weak relic]

Canio gaming

[stone shell]

its so chill tbh

compared to some insane white stake runs ive had

[weak relic]

[stone shell]

that shits tough man

[echo sphinx]

win big or go home

[fringe nebula]

true, it was so hard doing repetitive things until i reach ante 32

holding the urge to reset is so hard

[stone shell]

is this too expensive

[ancient gyro]

so chill

[tacit stream]

strush/high 4oak or die

[ancient gyro]

nah

[stone shell]

this would basically set my interest back by likely 1 round

[fringe nebula]

worth it

[stone shell]

yeah it can make it back in that amount of time

[lyric karma]

my only objection is that the fact of the player choosing the first hand they draw feels so unbalanced, like, imagine a baron mime build with death copies by a perkeo, and you only have like 3 steel card kings and the rest of the cards, normally drawing all 3 is hard and may take a couple of discards for them, but with that joker you can literally srew all of that
what i think it would balance it is that, instead of letting the player coose their first hand, select the most played hand of the run, with the cards used the last time the hand was played (for example, i play a flush of hearts and my most played hand are flushes, so the joker gives me everytime i select a blind the flush of hearts i played last round)

[honest latch]

wait thats fire

[stone shell]

yeah it basically paid itself back in 1 round

[frail jolt]

YEASSSSSSSS

FLUSH CARRIED

[honest latch]

ok here

[tacit stream]

Play Royal Flush in round 1
Get this joker in Shop 1
???
Profit...?

[fringe nebula]

that is.... cursed

[lyric karma]

seems fine to me what can i say

[ancient gyro]

this sort of just invalidates the concept of card draw bosses

[tacit stream]

insta unlock BS

[lyric karma]

The only counter i could think for that concept is the pillar

[frank notch]

ironically buffs the eye

[lyric karma]

the ox could too

[fringe nebula]

3 high card and 1 last hand

simple

[honest latch]

blame @lyric karma

[pale wolf]

this would have to be very specifically coded, like how is it actually changing the draws mechanically?

[lyric karma]

could work something like magnet did

[honest latch]

yeah no i feel like i prefer this version of it

[pale wolf]

that is a whole other issue of adding ui to a specific joker

not vanillesque at least

could be cool though

[honest latch]

meh true

[keen pilot]

YAY

+5 gold stickers

[pale wolf]

it feels a little powerful

[honest latch]

which is why i put it at rare

[stone shell]

is it too early to speculate

[pale wolf]

even for a rare

[honest latch]

how would you balance it

[keen pilot]

Yes

[pure schooner]

Do i pivot fully to trib or pray for a mime
Im scoring exactly e13, e14 and the score requirements are e13 e14

Im mostly deck fixed to kings

[pale wolf]

like, you use one suit changer and then have flush house roll the game
perhaps its a legendary, or you can only choose from a random selection of your deck every round instead of the whole deck

[honest latch]

okay

[lyric karma]

do you have steel cards?

[pale wolf]

alternatively if you make it vanillesque, have it draw the last hand played in the previous round

[honest latch]

wait thats actually fire

[fringe nebula]

mime is a weird joker that you don't want to get too early but useless when you get it too late

[cosmic token]

another day another face build ruined by the plant

[pure schooner]

Not enough

[honest latch]

but then the name all seeing eye wouldnt fit i think

[pure schooner]

I have 3 or 4 blue seal steel cards

[lyric karma]

Mime will be huge then

but for now stick to trib photchad ig

Until you find a mime

[pure schooner]

Soo do i sell baron for blueprint

[stone shell]

if you think about it mime will double possible future blue seals

[zinc oracle]

alright im getting better and better, or maybe it's just the fact ghost deck is very easy

[stone shell]

which would be huge

[lyric karma]

sell one of your chads

[fringe nebula]

true

[stark karma]

Yall think we sell the brainstorm in round?

[pure schooner]

Okkk

[fringe nebula]

maybe if you can get past the earlygame, mime will give you a clear gameplan

[pure schooner]

Copying the trib?

Or copying baron and sticking to highcard

[stone shell]

i have even steven i can probably live until

[cosmic token]

how does one even acquire 10k

[stone shell]

ante 2 boss blind or ante 3 small

[pure schooner]

Level 22 highcard

[stark karma]

Burglar parking

[lyric karma]

im not sure

[stone shell]

is an entire ante enough to get a good setup for mime

probably not

[pure schooner]

Im going to try two hands one with either

[cosmic token]

ah I see

[fringe nebula]

i got 11k with golden ticket instead

[stone shell]

i think i'll take it regardless

[stark karma]

120 per hand across 16 hands

[honest latch]

okay heres your second suggestion

[stark karma]

I’ve gotten around 2K with gold ticket pre ante 8

[fringe nebula]

blue seal

[zinc oracle]

as soon as I say this, death

[pale wolf]

tangentially similar effect to this idea

(the final hand idea)

[fringe nebula]

waiiiit why did you ecto twice

😭

lmaoo

[honest latch]

how do you make the art for these

[zinc oracle]

i was hungry

[stone shell]

manifested it

[pale wolf]

would be an interesting thing to try out

[pure schooner]

Okay
I sold invis joker and got another trib
With two tribs and a two batons i got e14 on a high-glass-card
With one trib copied
I got e16 with flush five level 1

[stark karma]

What’s crazy is I was completely broke 8 antes ago

[stone shell]

immolate is also huge

[pale wolf]

with my fingers

on my phone

[stark karma]

Should I sell napkin

[fringe nebula]

trance and then immolate

gamble and hope your blue seal won't get killed

[stone shell]

so true

[pale wolf]

this is my program

[lyric karma]

Try copying a trib and lets see what happens

[stone shell]

nono its hex and then aura

hex first because if i aura i might destroy the card

[ancient gyro]

all 4 of them?

[pale wolf]

i actually have 5 thumbs on each hand so all 0 of them

[pure schooner]

Fuck

Thats the downside to flush five

[lyric karma]

What did you do

[stone shell]

i wanna use emperor so badly because steel and gold cards are so valuable to me

[pure schooner]

I had 9 kings
Played 5

[stone shell]

but hermit is just safe

[pure schooner]

The boss debuffed the used kings

[fringe nebula]

hermit

[lyric karma]

Play the gold card first

You wont win but still you will make a good score

[pure schooner]

Mhm got e13 and its the end

Im not good at pivoting builds yet

[stone shell]

or well do i sell my riff raff and fist for madness

dang the image is slow wait

[lyric karma]

🫡

[fringe nebula]

yessss please fully commit into fist mime build. it's so fun to play

[stone shell]

pivot?

[fringe nebula]

nope

fist mime steel route imo

[lyric karma]

The key to pivoting is doing the pivot early

i can tell by experience

[pure schooner]

True i feel like i had high hopes for a mime

[stone shell]

it would also get me the fist sticker

ill trust you

[zinc oracle]

shoot the moon my beloved ❤️

[pure schooner]

I shldve ditched the baron and js eent full send flush five

[stone shell]

but if i lose im unconditionally blaming you/lh

[fringe nebula]

🐴 🐴

[stone shell]

[fringe nebula]

i do

unless something really good is at first shop

[stone shell]

okeh

[frank grove]

yeah i dont see jumbo buffoon first super often so i usually just ignore it cause if i get nothing i can sell im down 2 more dollars

[fringe nebula]

hey, pairslop seed is fun if you're doing mime steel

[frank grove]

wow thats .. something!

[stone shell]

mfw i sold jolly joker for a new joker and riff raff gave me jolly joker

[fringe nebula]

wow, very useful

i will die at ante 1 again

[peak crest]

what do i sell here?

wth

[stark karma]

I’ve done it and it’s beautiful

[fringe nebula]

ay bean bug?

[stark karma]

Yupppp

Finally

[honest latch]

hologram maybe?

[stark karma]

I’ve gotten to ante 37 with really lucky negatives and one bean hand but this is legit

[peak crest]

eternal

[honest latch]

oh right

[short snow]

ofc i get a shop like this on a double trib run

[stone shell]

chat its an idol build fr :clueless:

[fringe nebula]

can i take a look at deck?

[honest latch]

idk

photochad

[stone shell]

im probably being too irresponsible but theres something going rn

[stark karma]

E200 no serpent is downright goofy

[peak crest]

is it ridiculous to say i’d greed so hard and sell that golden joker for the photo

[stone shell]

each pair is like 12k/hand with +2k on a blue seal round

[fringe nebula]

still no steel or any tarot gen which is concerning for mime

[short snow]

i actually sold the constellation for the photo bc i'm not gonna need that tiny xmult from it with this build

[peak crest]

constellation needs a buff lowk

there’s never a reason to take it over hologram unless you have like

perkeo

and you don’t have a cryptid

[lofty vault]

They require strategy ya know

[stone shell]

constellation is fine

it scales way better than hologram with money gen

[short snow]

constellation is fine but a small buff like making is .15x instead of .1x wouldn't hurt

[pale wolf]

It's already one of the strongest options in the game LMFAO

[fringe nebula]

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

what??

[pale wolf]

This is ridiculous

[fringe nebula]

constellation is VERY strong

[pale wolf]

constellation rewards you for finding normally terrible options in the shop, while simultaneously increasing your score in more ways than just its scaling

[short snow]

oh!

and it's chicot

[stone shell]

if you think constellation needs a buff then you probably havent made enough money with it

[lofty vault]

Constellation is just buy every planet you see in the shop and you win

[fathom pagoda]

Constellation doesn't require you to add cards to your deck. That's a big difference.

[lofty vault]

Or get a blue seal and you win

[pale wolf]

also Balatro isn't a game where you choose between Jokers

[short snow]

i don't think it needs one. i know it's already strong. i'm only saying a tiny wouldn't be terrible for game balance imo

[pale wolf]

Even if hologram was strictly better than constellation, which it definitely is arguable, that wouldn't be a reason constellation is bad

[lofty vault]

Like 2-3 blue seals a round + constellation is nuts

[stone shell]

forced?

[fringe nebula]

emergency scoring?

[stone shell]

mhm

[lofty vault]

The scaling for the planet levels along with the scaling from consolation is probably enough to win a game all by itself

[fringe nebula]

yeah

[pale wolf]

hologram and constellation are very similar in strength, and they have very interesting differences between them which makes the small strength disparity e that much more interesting

[fringe nebula]

the only difference is that constellation is more friendly towards straight/3oak/4oak

etc

[lofty vault]

4 oak scales pretty good

I think it's either the best or one of the best scaling hands

[pale wolf]

hologram is inconsistent scaling, because you can't count on finding standard packs every round, but has a much higher ceiling for scaling rate especially given synergies with A couple other Jokers
constellation is reliable scaling, because planets show up in shop slots while playing cards don't without a terrible voucher, and there are more ways of generating planet cards than playing cards

[ancient gyro]

blue seals

[pale wolf]

simultaneously, hologram bloats your deck while constellation supplements your scoring with planet levels

[stone shell]

HUGE

[fringe nebula]

ayyyyyy

finally

[stone shell]

now i need to survive

[fringe nebula]

(still no tarot gen unfortunately)

[lofty vault]

Hologram with certificate and stone

[fringe nebula]

you forgot dna

[lofty vault]

Your deck gets filled with bullshit but hella high mult

[ancient gyro]

2 more specific uncommons

[lofty vault]

That's the basic answer for hologram scaling

[short snow]

sell chicot for buskin? i have vhs so i can skip plant once

[lofty vault]

Just get perkeo and a cryptid

[ancient gyro]

basic answer would be cert

[olive raptor]

Is this run good

[lofty vault]

Can be

[short snow]

glass card with double dice is always good

[fringe nebula]

ok hear me out

[lofty vault]

So good they made it into a challenge

[short snow]

yes

okay i'm selling chicot

[lofty vault]

@short snow thoughts on the Jimbo family gathering

[short snow]

i was gonna ask where's square jimbo but

[visual ingot]

Oh my

[short snow]

"be there or be square"

he wasn't there so

[swift totem]

Another naninf attempt, desperately need an ecto

[olive raptor]

Lost it to stupid hand pull

[stone shell]

generous seed

[lofty vault]

It be like that

[austere whale]

What do

[molten thicket]

so many golds

[fringe nebula]

can you beat ante 8 while skipping to keep brainstorm alive?

[lofty vault]

On the cruelty challenge I did the dumb thing and took a rare skip BUT IT WAS A BLUEPRINT SO WE STAY WINNING

[short snow]

polychrome king on this run okay

[fringe nebula]

sell cartomancer

[lofty vault]

Seems a little good with the build you have

[austere whale]

But i need the sticker, I only have 5 stickers left and carto is one

[fringe nebula]

either sticker on carto on sticker on a legendary you haven't stickered yet

your choice

[frank grove]

whats your hand level?

[austere whale]

I have all stickers on legendaries

[fringe nebula]

ok skip then

[lyric karma]

Is glow up good ?

[lofty vault]

It's ok

[fringe nebula]

it makes things alot more expensive which is an issue

[lofty vault]

Can't get negatives

[frank grove]

hone and glow up is bad for jokers good for standard packs

[austere whale]

I dont think a single legendary doesnt kill me im ngl

[short snow]

help what do i sell now

chad probably right

[lofty vault]

Canio upon thee

[fringe nebula]

keep carto for the sticker imo

[lofty vault]

Maybe hanging

[short snow]

yea i figured ty

[austere whale]

I have no kings and queens, boss is the water, no way to activate canio, chicot, no consumables to copy

[zinc oracle]

The Eye might be my #1 enemy

[lofty vault]

What you gotta do is find the ectoplasm

[zinc oracle]

not the plant

[frank grove]

what are you doing here 😭

[lofty vault]

Praying

[fringe nebula]

atleast you're on abandoned

[lyric karma]

how many discards does chicot give you when it disables the water?

[short snow]

i haven't even seen a spetral pack since ante 2 or so 😢

[frank grove]

true

[molten thicket]

easy win here right guys

[fringe nebula]

LET'S GO GAMBLING

[lyric karma]

Oh no

pray for oops

[fringe nebula]

ok maybe not if you're on a winstreak

[frank grove]

nah this is just random playing

[zinc oracle]

i was in hell looking at heaven

[short snow]

sell hex

or pray for credit card in pack

[stone shell]

with a good hand yes

[zinc oracle]

screw hex

[stone shell]

idk if i wanna risk it though final boss is vv

[fringe nebula]

more of a reason to do it because you'd score less if you don't find something better than brainstorm

[short snow]

i finally found a spectral pack and no ecto :(

[stone shell]

this scores better than htr right

wait i just remembered this is black deck

[fringe nebula]

yeah if you draw your steel

[molten thicket]

youre cooked if you take that and bottomdeck

[stone shell]

im cooked if i bottom deck regardless

[fringe nebula]

you're cooked anyway because of violet vessel

[molten thicket]

true

[stone shell]

does chat think judgement can give me something better than HTR

[fringe nebula]

card sharp from showman would be huge

[ancient gyro]

no

[stone shell]

im gonna buy the judgement just because i cant afford anything if i do reroll

[fathom pagoda]

If you have the Steel at least in your deck, you're probably less cooked with Troub, since extra hand size does let you draw further into your deck.

[brisk bluff]

🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

[stone shell]

unless i get some rental baron but thats not likely

[molten thicket]

yeah but troub puts him on 2 hands

[fringe nebula]

two pair with stuntman....................

[stone shell]

+2 cards but -1 hand means -3 cards looked into if i get to final hand

[brisk bluff]

It works I got the hand size vouchers

[stone shell]

also i have virtually no steel so its better to keep the discard

[fathom pagoda]

Where is your score coming from then?

[stone shell]

one more pair level for the road

[austere whale]

Verdant leaf has to be the easiest final boss 90% of the time

[stone shell]

virtually, i do have steel but i have 3 OF THEM OUT OF 48 CARDS

[smoky niche]

what if you had a 5 eternal photochad build

[smoky niche]

gamble

[austere whale]

Almost done

[stone shell]

alright uh

good news

[austere whale]

I would simply use my boss reroll 🙂

[stone shell]

i drew 2 steel cards so i would win with a pair

bad news?

emphasis on with a pair

[lyric karma]

Guess im not balatrying that hard😿

[lyric karma]

Is the pair here with us?

[stone shell]

surely i can score 900k though right

[swift totem]

I’m cooked on ante 24 unless I get exactly an ectoplasm and then a dna

[zinc oracle]

i can hear the mime begging for its life

[brisk bluff]

If I lose while bones is disabled do I lose fr ?

[stone shell]

well theres only one thing i can do so weeee

well actually probably scoring more cards is better for the chips

well thats sad

[smoky niche]

i think you've lost

yeah

[swift totem]

Does anyone see any outs that I don’t see? Only a nat negative dna could save me, but I only have 3k left

[lyric karma]

Sob

[stone shell]

HTR was at 3x btw

so i only scored 100k with the mime setup

[drifting gorge]

what the fuck how did you get that unlucky

[stone shell]

maybe i couldve gotten a better ending if i didnt discard that duo of jacks

but like

[lyric karma]

You should take a discard joker (drunkard, merry andy) or waster next time youre playing htr

[stone shell]

i took htr solely because i needed the scoring

yes the steel situation was THAT dire

[austere whale]

Whats the hardest of the stickers I have left?
Wrathful Joker, Zany Joker, Mad Joker, Pareidolia, Seance, Luchador, Stone Joker, Sock & Buskin, Onyx Agate, Showman,

[rocky helm]

what deck should i gold stake next guys i just did yellow

[molten thicket]

legendary deck

[austere whale]

Ghost is very fun imo

[molten thicket]

how did it draw that bad

[rocky helm]

alr

[stone shell]

@fringe nebula run wouldve been won had i done different discarding

[zinc oracle]

oh my goodness, not only did I get my beloved in Ante 1, i got perkeo

i dont know where to go from here

[latent egret]

yes

[fringe nebula]

i came to a conclusion that long winstreak on black deck is impossible without misprint tech recently

[latent egret]

i have lost that way

[stone shell]

sell perkeo for vagabond :copium:

[fringe nebula]

credit card in buffoon pack

[lyric karma]

Get death and start building queens

✅

[proven ember]

Which way, western man?

[stone shell]

way of the dagger

[lyric karma]

it was waiting for this

sell

[proven ember]

Swash is on 96

[lyric karma]

You already got a good value with only gift card and blueprint

unless you need the mult now

if yes, keep it.

[frank grove]

double bloodstone gaming?

[stone shell]

even then daggering the egg will give 124 mult

[keen pilot]

Very interesting build

[rocky helm]

no oops

[proven ember]

I mean , swash will get +3 from egg and + 4 every round from gift

[frank grove]

won anyway

[stone shell]

vagabond + campfire spotted

[lyric karma]

You dont loose that much

[keen pilot]

Didn't realise there was a synergy between vagabond and campfire

[zinc oracle]

oh my word

[keen pilot]

but it oddly makes sense

[lyric karma]

how much is swash value

[fringe nebula]

def dagger

[stone shell]

its not direct synergy but vagabond to generate tarots to sell for campfire adds up quickly

[latent ravine]

ohhhhh shiitttt.......

[stone shell]

its probably like 0.5-0.75x per round

[lime remnant]

insta lose 💀

[frank grove]

just sell one of the stuntmans and you'll be fine

[latent ravine]

we dont read the boss blinds in this house

[latent ravine]

i dont think it works like that

[stone shell]

sell a stuntman

[lyric karma]

The acrobatic went wrong

[frank grove]

it doees

[lime remnant]

it does

[latent ravine]

ok

[fringe nebula]

it does

[lime remnant]

no more score haha

[frank grove]

i mean 250 chips is more than enough

[latent ravine]

IT DOES, the run is, kinda saved

[lime remnant]

ye

250 chip and bus is good

[lyric karma]

Ok maybe the acrobatic didnt went wrong

[lime remnant]

stuntman the goat of gold stake

[keen pilot]

Nah, I'm using tarots for fortune teller, tho at some point it's probably deminishing returns
The synergy I'm talking about is that Vagabond encourages spending money, and campfire requires spending money in the shop to buy and sell

[peak blade]

this is a fun run

[lyric karma]

stuntman works better for high card or pairs?

[stone shell]

youre probably at the diminishing returns point rn for fortune teller tbf

im guessing its uh

70ish mult?

[brave goblet]

Square up

[lime remnant]

whatever that has more mult

[fringe nebula]

high card is more guaranteed with stuntman

[keen pilot]

46

[brave goblet]

I tried to find my red seal steel king and bottom decked

[stone shell]

dang mightve mixed it up with an ante 8 fortune

[olive raptor]

Cloud 9 is op, changed my mind

[steady wharf]

No

[olive raptor]

Showman duped showman, very useful

[desert pebble]

THIS IS THE 6TH TIME I FORGOT I HAVE AN EXTRA JOKER SLOT WITH BLACK DECK

[fringe nebula]

been there before

[lyric karma]

What do i sell for hologram

[drifting gorge]

splash /j

[keen pilot]

x7.25 on a campfire, x4 hologram, +76 fortune teller
Very fun run

[lyric karma]

omg omg omg omg

What do i sell for it

[honest latch]

natural brainstorm on first round

[steady wharf]

#1156061354076155944

[uncut charm]

I would sell Astronomer

[lime swan]

what should i do here?

[honest latch]

wheel of fortune gives polychrome

reroll here for baron

[lime swan]

[royal bobcat]

He's dagging it

[honest latch]

because i was playing in debug mode

[lime swan]

seed scouting?

[honest latch]

no

i was just messing around

ok this seed is trash theres nothing to use with brainstorm except barno

[rugged bloom]

Too early

[lyric karma]

Sold it a while later for luchador and summit for polychrome supernova

[lyric karma]

What do i sell for fortune teller?

im thinking supernova

[fringe nebula]

[honest latch]

[royal bobcat]

Brainstorm

[fringe nebula]

3oak level?

[royal bobcat]

The mod

[fringe nebula]

[lyric karma]

Level 10

pair is at lvl 6

[fringe nebula]

level 10 3oak is uhhh

21 mult

[lyric karma]

right now is huge

[fringe nebula]

yeah nova is better

[frank grove]

brainstorm/brainstorm rerolled the mod to find seeds in game, immolate on github to find specific seeds with very specific params, or ouija on github for good ui for it

[fringe nebula]

polychrome nova is better there

[lyric karma]

Russian roulette

here goes

[fringe nebula]

hold the luchador

and then sell luchador

[lyric karma]

thats, actually clever

[brave goblet]

Abandoned deck on ghost

[lyric karma]

I won

[fringe nebula]

not surprised

with 3oak level that high

[brave goblet]

I don’t have speed mods this is mobile

[queen dock]

Nearly 200

[stark karma]

This was just supposed to be a silly speedrun

[fringe nebula]

play 1 hand and then go grab a drink

[latent ravine]

infinite games but no games

[fringe nebula]

play another hand and then clean your room

[molten thicket]

dead from water intoxication

[lyric karma]

man that thing made me feel so bad

[stark karma]

Lmao

Gonna play one hand and finish my English paper real quick

[fringe crest]

varv have you been talking this whole time?

[edgy stone]

Black Deck no Xmult? No problem.

[fringe nebula]

I'm off today

[fringe crest]

gng

youve been here for hours

[fringe nebula]

no class, and most of my university friends went back to their hometown

😂

[fringe crest]

so you spend the rest of a free day talking in the balatro discord server

[fringe nebula]

yep

[fringe crest]

whatever floats your boat man

[fringe nebula]

also, not "this whole time"

[stark karma]

My ass is making 6K a round ToT

[fringe nebula]

i went offline and took a walk

[edgy stone]

This is class where you are lecturer

[fringe crest]

oh thats makes it better

[heavy heron]

hey varv

[fringe nebula]

yes?

[heavy heron]

want to see my new recorded

ante 8 record

[fringe nebula]

show

[heavy heron]

man?

😳

i could’ve had more glass but cerulean bell….

2 billion is, as far as i can see based on my videos, highest on non plasma by ante 8

[fringe nebula]

fibonacci build is based

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[fringe nebula]

reminds me of this one

weirdest thing i've done

[heavy heron]

negative bloodstone…

[fringe nebula]

it was ecto bloodstone

[heavy heron]

wtf is your disgusting hand size

[fringe nebula]

for the gold sticker

[heavy heron]

YOU TOOK AN ECTO??

OH

LOOLLLL

you couldn’t fit a 6th joker?

[fringe nebula]

yeah

[heavy heron]

so you didn’t need the ecto after all

[fringe nebula]

rather, the sixth joker is already gold stickered

[heavy heron]

oh wait

verdant

right got it

[fringe nebula]

also stopped talking on discord for awhile for achieving whatever this is

[lyric karma]

Right when i sold the egg

man i love this game

[fringe nebula]

anyway i'm off to sleep good night chat

[lyric karma]

Gn

[heavy heron]

goodnight varv <3

[stark karma]

Midas mask is genuinely s tier hot take

[ancient gyro]

lukewarm

[stark karma]

I suppose

[honest latch]

used this to find a double perkeo run

[stark karma]

Its almost essential for a naneinf run I’ve found

Also great in higher stakes

[frank grove]

this is like 2 degrees above room temp take

[ancient gyro]

ice cube

[honest latch]

ZWIUZMVG

skip first round for mega arcana, big blind shop has spectral pack with ankh

[pulsar iron]

My first naneinf

[full orbit]

Midas mask + Parabola + vampire is goated

[brave goblet]

parabola

[trail pier]

should be pretty free from here xd

as long as i avoid the needle and the eye

ante 7 needle awesome

thank you game

[peak blade]

bought a negative rental satellite in ante 1 and was given zero planets from any source after that until i lost from having negative money

[honest latch]

i already sold you just leave me alone man

[brazen jolt]

purple stake is killing me wtf

wtf is the scaling

[peak blade]

try to make sure you have + mult and x mult

[brazen jolt]

yeah im think im choosing the wrong jokers

[brave goblet]

What kind of jonkers are you choosing

[brave goblet]

the actual first difficulty curve fr

[trail pier]

incredible

[stark karma]

On everything we’re using Parabola 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 💯 💯 💯

[brazen jolt]

Tool reference?

[honest latch]

GO THE FUCK AWAY

[brave goblet]

damn I was actually going to reply "may the eye get you" earlier

[brazen jolt]

im always choosing jokers hat restrict the type of hands i can play to win, like bus stop in my last try

it seems like the joker didnt scale fast enough

[stark karma]

Wowww I’m having soooo much fun rn

[brave goblet]

The bus stop is one of THE goats in high stakes though

[brave goblet]

were you using all your hands to get all the value?

What were you doing for chips, econ, etc?

[brazen jolt]

actually now that you mention it, im not sure. I always skip when i see investment tag so maybe i shouldnt do that

[peak blade]

scaling jokers are incredibly important
green joker
bus stop
supernova
etc

[brave goblet]

You don't usually skip for investment tag outside of ante 1

[versed sable]

could be worse

[brazen jolt]

i didnt have an econ joker so yeah

[peak blade]

i almost never skip at all on high stakes

[brave goblet]

I usually skip all of ante 1 for a quick fun start

[peak blade]

econ is also super important

[brave goblet]

Curiously, I usually win when I don't skip

[peak blade]

its a balancing act

[brazen jolt]

yeah gotta focus more on econ

also i took joker stencil with the infinity tag on it, might have been a bad idea lol

[brave goblet]

There are eternals, so life lesson an eternal value generator is worth taking early

[stark karma]

There is nothing worse than having to play 20 burglar hands with no speed mods

[brave goblet]

But just one of those

[versed sable]

you wanna bet?

[brave goblet]

I mean if you could find an ankh later it could be worth lmao

emphasis on could

[versed sable]

how about 30 hands, and having dice and more jokers to copy Parking/mime with

[brazen jolt]

btw, are balatro multiplayer games with the mod almost always on gold stake?

[versed sable]

also i'm doing serpent every ante

[frank grove]

no, you can play any deck any stake

[stark karma]

200K ToT

[brazen jolt]

but like, the ranked games

someone told me there is ranked

[stark karma]

Do you have seance

[stark karma]

Hell nah
