[fringe nebula]

rentals

[smoky niche]

there are none in sight

[humble gulch]

I don't see any

[frozen tendon]

idk if i can score it that's my point. i'm thinking maybe spectral can give me something, maybe i wraith? skip for +3 mult? lol. and hand size will help me draw my hands

[heavy heron]

um

i found a credit card last reroll

[marsh tartan]

what about just black deck in general

[heavy heron]

oh wait

not me

nvm

[humble gulch]

Pray

[marsh tartan]

i see

[humble gulch]

If you don't die on the first two antes you can probably win

[smoky niche]

black deck gokd stake 100% winrate c++

doable fr

[fringe nebula]

black deck is fine until red stake

red stake is one of the big reasons why black deck earlygame feels really harsh

[marsh tartan]

im doing red stake atm

should i be afraid

[fringe nebula]

no

but the effect of red stake alone makes higher stakes really hard on black deck

[frozen tendon]

the tooth. 😅

[smoky niche]

if you werent in debt you'd be better off looking for an xmult but since you're broke af idek

[humble gulch]

I forgot about that

[smoky niche]

did you fr go into the tooth with 0 in the bank

[frozen tendon]

mf i had to play every hand

[smoky niche]

💔

[frozen tendon]

i think i had 10 cuz i got greedy looking for more score

imma take the first skip and see what the plan is

[smoky niche]

if you needed to play every hand in ante 7 you are not beating ante 8

[frozen tendon]

yeah

that's my point

i don't think it is winnable

but we'll see

literally the 2 worst options ngl

[smoky niche]

skip and get a miracle wraith into a miracle whatever the guy that gives x3 for straight is

[frozen tendon]

ig + 3 mult

[smoky niche]

yeah ur cooked bud

[median grove]

is it bad to skip both small and big blinds first ante

[frozen tendon]

depends on the skips 😏

[median grove]

i just mean the chance of getting 600 with no jokers

i feel like is pretty low?

[smoky niche]

that does not sound ideal

[median grove]

ive lost several times now trying

but i wanted the negative and 25!

[smoky niche]

its not impossible

[humble gulch]

I love goat cheese

[smoky niche]

unless ur on black deck it shouldnt be too difficult

[feral needle]

You need two high-scoring flushes or straights

or a straight flush

or high full houses

[median grove]

definitely not impossible but can also be unlucky pretty easily

[smoky niche]

the negative sly joker isnt gonna do anything just dont take those

[feral needle]

Debuffed is kind of a big deal when you're Jokerless

[smoky niche]

you have more than 2 hands

[feral needle]

I know

and every other throwaway hand still scores something but still

it's a general rule of thumb I feel

[rich mauve]

gg
only matador, acrobat and vagabond left

[feral needle]

nice

[jovial whale]

Yet another Obelisk run — Zodiac Deck, Gold Stake

[frozen tendon]

i mean, closer than i thought ngl

[feral needle]

aside from straight flushes what hands are there that can one shot small blind on abandoned

[median grove]

is sly joker better than devious joker?

[jovial whale]

full house (e.g. 8 8 8 6 6 scores 304)

[solar bone]

heyyy, what does that mean?
I dont understand it at all :c

[frozen tendon]

not using acrobat 💔

[feral needle]

ah

[median grove]

because pairs are more applicable

generally

[frozen tendon]

the blinds you skip, if you sell that you get 2x rewards for the blind skipped

so like $25 skip = $50

[jovial whale]

acrobat did help me out a decent amount in the previous blinds

[solar bone]

OHHHHHHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH

[smoky niche]

4oak is an obvious choice

[feral needle]

ah, that too

Abandoned's early game is different huh

[median grove]

is sly joker better than devious joker?

[feral needle]

I thought it was just harder early game

[median grove]

because pairs are better

[feral needle]

because no faces

[rich mauve]

dw it's easier to draw full houses

[vestal copper]

abandoned is very powerful

[rich mauve]

because there are no face cards, you'll likely find 3 aces

[frozen tendon]

i crusied through every abandoned stake and have been struggling to beat abandoned gold now lol

[smoky niche]

i just tried abandoned double skip ante 1 and got a 4oak lmao

[feral needle]

depends on what hand you're building to or are aiming to build

[fringe nebula]

3 10s and 2 3s full house

[feral needle]

oh thanks for that

that's a really generous range

[fringe nebula]

level 1 full house + 36 chips

[thick citrus]

Buy it ?

[smoky niche]

so 8s full of 6s also work

thats the lowest such that the rank if the 3oak is higher than the pair

i think

[feral needle]

I guess I should add that unless they're Eternal (Cannot be Sold or Destroyed) most of the time you're gonna be selling these jokers later once you find better replacements

Taking a Joker blocks it from appearing in the shop, so you don't have to worry about the game giving you another copy of the same useless joker

unfortunately this also means you cannot get two of the same useful joker either

Planets can cover for the lost chips (both of the mentioned jokers are chips) so once you scale enough you can look into getting a mult joker instead

[inland hill]

Extra credit multiplayer anyone?

[exotic prawn]

what should i copy in these situations?

[feral needle]

let me think

[inland hill]

woah

[cosmic sun]

🗿

[exotic prawn]

wait so its the same?

[plucky shuttle]

In this instance, yes

[inland hill]

Yeah doesn't matter

[limber nova]

Always has been

[exotic prawn]

thats cool

[flat tiger]

math is funny

[exotic prawn]

oh wait a minute obviously

wait or not

[plucky shuttle]

3 scoring with 2 activations vs 2 scoring with 3 activations

[exotic prawn]

wait then is it better copy photo or chad?

[inland hill]

Quick mafs

[exotic prawn]

chat right

mafs

[feral needle]

Buskin's better if your played card also has an enhancement, edition, or a scoring seal (of which only Gold Seal exists currently)

since that'll trigger it more times

[limber nova]

PhotochadPhotochadPhotochadPhotochad

[flat tiger]

copy photo is 2x 6 times, copy chad is 2x 5 times no?

[exotic prawn]

photochad

[inland hill]

I don't want to do another photo chad run 😭 Ante 8:

[feral needle]

lol

[vestal copper]

average roffle run

[frozen tendon]

okay, didn't know that is how that works

[inland hill]

I am tired of using photo fr

[eager summit]

chadphotophotophotochad

[flat tiger]

if u play all day, is good and only post busted runs

[limber nova]

chadphotophotophotochad

[vestal copper]

i havent used photochad in my past like 50 runs

[inland hill]

Had a run the other day were photo was in first shop and I rolled it back to back 4 times and then bought it

[vestal copper]

true

the power of unemployment

[eager summit]

i got one 7 runs ago

[vestal copper]

nah 😭

[inland hill]

Yeah

[flat tiger]

i got nno photo chad ever in white, then got 5-6 photo chad in red stake

[inland hill]

Twist my rubber arm I guess

Yet I see a blueprint once in ever 10k rerolls

Ik its more rare but c'mon balatro please help me

[lament condor]

i love vagabond matador synergy

[slow iris]

vagabond + egg

[lament condor]

ceremonial dagger channel seems soooooo tempting

its like urging me

[inland hill]

Extra credit mod vampire perm marker synergy is fun

[inland hill]

😂 Tell me why I've went in stared at the type message bar 5 times since I've joined the discord

It calls to you

Like a siren

[feral needle]

I just muted it

I have muted channels set to not show at all

[inland hill]

DO NOT TEMPT ME FRODO

[karmic totem]

C'mon bro, really? This feels like elite level bait

[slow iris]

rainbow joker

[frozen tendon]

dagger is hungry

[slow iris]

i fed it an egg earlier

it's at +44 mult already

blobcatcozy~3

[karmic totem]

It wasn't bait

[slow iris]

well i just found a card sharp

so dagger will be staying at +58 for eternity

[sly mango]

HOW DO I SAVE THIS RUNNNN
i have no vouchers…
im barely survivinggg

[flat tiger]

what is a good +mult to target for the +mult cards

[solid python]

I'M 1 DOLLAR OFF NOOOOOO

[slow iris]

nvm i found an ectoplasm

[humble gulch]

I'd sell one of the ancient jokers

Blueprint is more versatile

[slow iris]

sigh

[humble gulch]

Imagine if you didn't had the sticker

[slow iris]

fr

[humble gulch]

I think I'll do black deck c++

Winning with all jokers on golden needle 🥀

[slow iris]

yooo

[tidal pawn]

Wait I never encountered it in one of my runs, what happens when sac dagger tries to eat a negative

[slow iris]

same thing as usual

[flat tiger]

it eats the negative?

[tidal pawn]

Wait I'm dyslexic

*eternal

[slow iris]

just more sell value because negative

oh no

it can't

so nothing happens

[tidal pawn]

Does it get the mult? Kinda like how madness works

[slow iris]

nop

[tidal pawn]

Sadge

[slow iris]

it needs to kill a joker in order to gain mult

[tidal pawn]

Kid named joker

[humble gulch]

Madness consuming a joker is just a secondary effect

[slow iris]

+1 mult

[humble gulch]

Dagger needs to consume a joker to scale

[edgy stone]

Not the same. Madness always grow up even not destroying any joker

[slow iris]

getting closer to the end of painted++

[edgy stone]

Include throwback?

[slow iris]

unfortunately yes

[humble gulch]

C++ but every run has to be the next deck

[slow iris]

could be a bit fun

[flat tiger]

what do I do with abounded deck other then the usual flsuh until you find something

[humble gulch]

The same as the other decks but without face cards

[flat tiger]

other then remember to not auto buy a photo

[humble gulch]

Golden Needle++

[slow iris]

abuse the hell out of the smaller deck

[edgy stone]

I love face card so Abandone really suck with me

[humble gulch]

Or cruelty

[slow iris]

abandoned is great for straights and other more difficult hands

[solid python]

i was getting like 1-30b score per hand near the end and i died because i couldn't draw a flush 😭😭😭

[humble gulch]

I choose abandoned over checkered for straight flushes

[flat tiger]

if only my Ouija hit aces again on abandoned deck

[humble gulch]

Why would you ever use a ouija 🥀

[wicked sonnet]

just did a straight run my first ever

on anaglyph

only 3 new stickers despite 6 negatives thanks jimbo

[flat tiger]

because the first 2 times I got it I hit aces and it was nice

[slow iris]

ouija is good on painted tbh

[fickle trellis]

w run?

[edgy stone]

This deck is a trap. Try to build around big hand but sometimes it kill me

[fickle trellis]

of course it is

[inland hill]

Anti photochad deck

[fringe nebula]

put pants at leftmost

[inland hill]

Until the pareidolia shows up

[humble gulch]

You need it early. On ante 4 or 5 you already have a build

And I wouldn't trade one hand size for ten to twelve cards of a rank I don't get to choose 🥀

[flat tiger]

jokes on you I only have banana popcorn and ice cream

[jovial whale]

Yet another unusual run — Anaglyph Deck, Gold Stake. This time, I took a Negative skip, which gave me three Negative uncommon jokers. I ended up having Baseball Card and 7 uncommon jokers

[slow iris]

yeah

[frozen tendon]

goddam you wee joker

[fickle trellis]

astronomer i apologise i was NOT familiar with your game

[slow iris]

well better than on other decks

[humble gulch]

Who doesn't want free things?

W astronomer campfire

[fickle trellis]

shit that's true...

i've picked up campfire a few times but kinda just felt like a caveman trying to make a tool out of a stick and a rock

[frozen tendon]

campfire is good if you've got good econ

esp with liquidation

[humble gulch]

Campfire is a lot better on gold stake

[flat tiger]

nothing to replace spaceman from ante 6 to 12 with Petroglyph I am Sadge, not like its gonna beat ante 12 anyway

[fickle trellis]

i'm just chilling at green stake for the time being

blue stake was enough for my bum ahh

[inland hill]

Green is my favorite

[humble gulch]

I'm interest carried

[slow iris]

i love how rentals aren't 100% bad

like they have upsides too

[inland hill]

Challenging enough but not bending me over with the eternal misprint I "mis" clicked

[frozen tendon]

i like the ones i can use and sell before getting charged

[slow iris]

yup

stuff rental cola and rental chaos are literally just free

[inland hill]

Need a joker that benefits of off rentals

[slow iris]

assuming you sell immediately

[inland hill]

Landlord joker

[slow iris]

campfire

[inland hill]

Why campfire?

I mean rentals specifically

[fickle trellis]

buying and selling!

[slow iris]

you can buy rentals for $1 and sell for $1

literally free mult

[inland hill]

Ahh

I didn't know they were $1

No matter the joker the rentals are $1?

And $3 per round right?

[frozen tendon]

yep

[slow iris]

ya

always $1 no matter what

sell value can still increase with giftcard

[inland hill]

Thank you for the balatro lesson

[slow iris]

and rental egg still increases its sell value as well

[inland hill]

Maybe gold isn't so scary after all

[frozen tendon]

why would you ever take a rental egg

[inland hill]

Stonks

[fickle trellis]

diet cola value

[queen harness]

Hey guys I am addicted to Balatro

[inland hill]

It'll be worth it eventually right?

[slow iris]

same reasons you'd take an egg

[fickle trellis]

the most obvious reason is of course

SWASHBUCKLER VALUE!!!!

wait

[frozen tendon]

oh wait, idk why i thought egg was +$2 for a second, nvm.

[queen harness]

I am here to ask wheather there is a cure for it...wheather I even NEED a cure

[frozen tendon]

just beat everything in the game

you'll be bored then

[inland hill]

Yellow deck is my only deck I have gold stake on 😭 econ is hard

[slow iris]

i have 600 hours in this game lol

[frozen tendon]

i love yellow deck

[inland hill]

Until you mod it

[slow iris]

well nearly 600

[frozen tendon]

i have 350 but a good bit could be afk'd since i play with no volume 80% of the time

[fickle trellis]

bro came to the asylum asking for a sane person

[queen harness]

It never ends hahahhaha it's like gambling...the high...the numbers

[frozen tendon]

mods seem pretty boring to me but i haven't tried them multiplayer is fun and it taught me how to get better at making money and keeping econ up at all times

[queen harness]

Maybe it's a sign I belong here 🥲

[inland hill]

Gambling might be a little bit worse of an addiction but that's subjective

[frozen tendon]

only if you lose

[inland hill]

I don't like mods that make the game just a single joker brings you to Ante 1000

[fickle trellis]

go away dude i'm trying to get stickers

[frozen tendon]

i mean

[inland hill]

Extra credit is a super fun mod

[flat tiger]

isnt it still better for that if you ditch walkie?

[inland hill]

Still some broken jokers but I just don't buy them and stick to my lucky 7s run

[fickle trellis]

i want my walkie sticker

[frozen tendon]

i uninstalled every mod and am waiting to get gold stake on every joker before installing them back

[fringe nebula]

if you're bored, hear me out

[frozen tendon]

bmp was distrating me too much

[inland hill]

Do you have gold stake on madness yet?

[flat tiger]

you want bigger sticker?

[frozen tendon]

madness?

[inland hill]

The joker

[frozen tendon]

oh, i don't have gold sticker on many

[fickle trellis]

happy walkie

[slow iris]

i'm doing c++ for the second time

almost done

[frozen tendon]

i'm like 50% joker stickers all together

but i don't go for stickers unless it is gold so most are white/stickerless ngl

[frozen tendon]

is that gold stake every deck or jokers too?

[slow iris]

gold sticker on every joker

[fringe nebula]

gold sticker

[frozen tendon]

how do you even reset?

oh wait

new acc

[fickle trellis]

i can't wait to get back to black stake so i can buy madness with eternal delayed gratification and lusty joker

[slow iris]

use a different profile

[frozen tendon]

lusty joker 💔

[frozen tendon]

what deck do you play on?

[slow iris]

multiple

usually ghost or blue or yellow

but this time i'm doing painted only c++

[frozen tendon]

anaglyph for beginning?

that sounds fun, i love painted

[slow iris]

i never really used anaglyph for c++

[inland hill]

I only have black stickers on Cavendish wee joker hallu and baseball card I don't remember the run but the wee joker must've been cooking lol

[frozen tendon]

i've heard it is good for getting a chunk. i'm going to try it once i get c+. then i'll probably just play ghost, yellow, blue like you said. higher success rate ones.

[slow iris]

i think the negative tag skip strat is only good whenever you can get a negative tag late enough in the run and you're early into your c++ journey

[inland hill]

Wee joker is a chad

[edgy stone]

What benefits you think on Painted for C++?

[slow iris]

none

it's just a self imposed challenge

well the extra handsize is nice

[fervent pebble]

oh ok

[slow iris]

but 1 less joker slot kinda makes things a bit more difficult for getting gold stickers

[timid nymph]

biggest wee I've ever gotten

[sand glade]

Hi

[fervent pebble]

what decks best for unlocking this

[slow iris]

i guess magic deck? because of the two fools you get at the start

but i mean

any deck will work

[weary whale]

Erratic

[hardy jackal]

I just got this

I used magic deck

I got lucky and it kept giving me The Star

[fringe crest]

checkered

[fringe nebula]

lol

what is this triple judgement start

[clear kettle]

holy moly

[jovial whale]

lol showman just showmaned a blueprint and another blueprint

[fervent pebble]

no way 3 reserved parkings

[clear kettle]

also i bought showman in the same shop

[jovial whale]

Yet another unusual Gold Stake run — Erratic Deck, Gold Stake. I picked up an early Shoot The Moon, and then later got a DNA which let me copy my Steel Queens. I found Mime and Steel Joker later.

[vestal copper]

painted sounds awesome

ill do it after black

[fringe nebula]

average gold stake run

(yes, i did double skip because there's literally no point in scaling further)

[edgy stone]

And for Loyalty maybe?

[fringe nebula]

loyalty isn't active

i droppwd it the moment i found blackboard

[edgy stone]

How could u collect so many seal there? Certificate?

[fringe nebula]

.

and then there's natural negative perishable dna

with blueprint

[stone shell]

triple judgement is always worth it 👍

[fringe nebula]

i've been liking triple judgement more recently

especially because they're guaranteed to be clean jokers

no rental, no eternal, no perishable

just a clean joker

[stone shell]

you understand my gambling addiction now right

or do you still prefer triple devil

[fringe nebula]

similar to riff raff i guess

[fringe nebula]

triple devil is still preferrable, BUT

judgement can help you survive earlygame

[urban hedge]

Does anyone know why this won't give me the achievement
This is my 3rd challenge done and I am running mods but have achievements enabled

Sorry if this should have been sent in the mod general chat

[stone shell]

did you use the unlock all button

im assuming no but im just asking

[urban hedge]

No I don't believe so

[vestal copper]

does unlock all button kills the achievements

[fringe nebula]

yes

[urban hedge]

I have done it on a seperate profile but this is on the one that doesn't have that enabled

[vestal copper]

goddamn

[fringe nebula]

idk about steam achievements tho

[vestal copper]

i did it for mp

my save is now boned ig 🥀

[urban hedge]

I may just have to make a new profile and unlock challenges and do it again

[stone shell]

didnt get my rule breaker achievement because of my dumbass using unlock all for a mod so yes it does affect that

[urban hedge]

I'm guessing the likely scenario is that I had achievements disabled somehow when I did the first challenge of 3 and then attemped after but doubt that
If starting fresh doesn't fix then idk what will

[mystic bear]

I just threw HARD on Golden Needle, feels bad man

[plain briar]

so much rainbow

[mystic bear]

got all cocky vs Verdant Leaf

[plain briar]

what do i replace

a baron?

[plain briar]

i need an ecto

[shell dagger]

[echo sphinx]

chigoated

[deft sandal]

W build?

[deft sandal]

HOLY CHICOT CARRY

[flat tiger]

is small blinds worth skipping when they dont give money, say for free jokers

[vestal copper]

no

[deft sandal]

no, skipping just never worth it

[flat tiger]

not even ante 1 first blind? it seems to get nothign out of it if I can get a high flush

[deft sandal]

on gold stake, only investment tag is kinda worth it

[vestal copper]

rare tag for a eternal rental tribe :clue:

[flat tiger]

i tend to skip first blind for foil/negative, i lost what? potentially $3, mostly just 1 or 2

[vestal copper]

you lose an entire shop

[flat tiger]

first shop is only one pack no?

[vestal copper]

you can do a lot more

[flat tiger]

and with bad draws you get like $1-2 not like i can do anything

[vestal copper]

a free reroll compared to non skip more packs

[deft sandal]

you can see the voucher and decide if you save money to buy or no

[vestal copper]

skip mfs when they miss a rebate from shop 1

[tranquil steppe]

Finally beat golden needle

[vestal copper]

gg

[deft sandal]

Congrats

[tranquil steppe]

Thank you thank you

[edgy stone]

My cavendish broken. What a luck. Can it be reappeared?

[deft sandal]

Cavendish as in x3 Mult?

[plain briar]

is there enough time to get enough copies of cryptid or try get observatory (23 plutos currently)

[edgy stone]

Yeah

[vestal copper]

it can come back

[edgy stone]

Oh here it is. Come back next reroll

[spark kernel]

W skip tag

[vestal copper]

🔥

[deft sandal]

Round 0 legendary

great

chigoat incoming

[spark kernel]

It was a perkeo

[deft sandal]

booo~~

[vestal copper]

pray to live

[flat tiger]

i broke banana like 5 times and Cav never show up for me

[edgy stone]

You broke Gros Michel?

[flat tiger]

the base banana yeah

it tend to break in 1-2 rounds

unless I never need it then it never breaks

[edgy stone]

It's common joker, it will show up if you reroll enough

[stone shell]

sometimes cavendish is just hella shy

[deft sandal]

almost hit a flush in the standard pack

[stuck finch]

Pulled a Yorick and completed my collection...

He's interesting, but I don't like discarding so many cards 😔

[spark kernel]

Perkeo is so ahh when your not going for endless

[deft sandal]

(bloodstone is just gonna kill me)

[stuck finch]

Well, with that attitude, sure

But where's the Onyx Agave??

[deft sandal]

that gross michael survived 2 antes and it is still here

so gross

[echo sphinx]

lol

[stuck finch]

I legit got a Gros Michel in a pack and it went extinct in the immediate round.

What a waste.

[deft sandal]

4 more rounds and it is still here

[spark kernel]

Cavendish

[deft sandal]

My Gros michel feeling like Cavendish rn

It finally extincted, on Round 17

and it fucking killed me

[spark kernel]

Is it worth it

[deft sandal]

yes, one mail in rebate copy is enough to cover the loss

[stuck finch]

The Bull joker is one of my favorites

But only if I have a shit ton of monies

[spark kernel]

Im talking about the brainstorm

[deft sandal]

yea

sell showman copy mail in rebate

[stuck finch]

^^

Rebate or Bull, whichever

[deft sandal]

bull when scoring, rebate when discarding

I think this is worth it

[stuck finch]

Ah yes, literal infinite money glitch

[hoary grail]

I'm trying to beat the challenge where a discard costs 1$ and it's so hard, never got even close

Hard to find a scoring joker and an econ joker

[stuck finch]

Don't worry, I believe in you

[echo sphinx]

lol

[warm epoch]

should i take cavendish

[smoky niche]

temperance value 🔥 🔥

[smoky niche]

is your build scoring enough for ante 8

[warm epoch]

i am getting a shit ton of money through mime dice and parking per hand

[smoky niche]

i mean you probably dont need much money anymore so you could just hop off the parking

if you wanted to have leeway to score

[warm epoch]

this is my deck

[smoky niche]

like for violet vessel or something

[spark kernel]

Verdant leaf is so useless

[warm epoch]

ok imma sell parking then

[spark kernel]

Finally got big hands achievement

[vernal breach]

Hmm thats a lot of vouchers

Big yorick

[balmy epoch]

Had to buy Planet Tycoon to get Completionist but then I couldn't find an Idol because of it

[subtle drum]

26^3 is crazy goddamn

[quaint stag]

swash stocks up

[fringe nebula]

no

absolutely not

(unless you're going for the meme)

[sullen mica]

is this good copying lmao

and is it too late to switch to flush five lmao

its plasma deck

[plain briar]

do i have enough cryptids to nanienf? i only got 1 red seal king

[fringe nebula]

how about you do the math yourself on https://efhiii.github.io/balatro-calculator/

[sullen mica]

im no expert but im p sure its enough

if u do hit the red seal lmao

[plain briar]

loading 100 cards is lagging my broswer

[sullen mica]

i mean just keep stacking cryptids until u cant reach the score

then dump them all

if u going js for score

[plain briar]

according to reddit, 47-48 cryptids for normal kids on plasma

[fringe nebula]

yeah that is more than enough

above e308 even

[plain briar]

cheers

[fringe nebula]

bare minimum is 56 cards held in hand (with level 1 high card)

you have 46 cryptids so that's not the issue

[plain briar]

okay thank u

[pastel hatch]

i feel like i've been really bad at midgame(antes 4-6) on black deck unless i hit some of the op jokers, do any of you have maybe some tips about how i should approach getting better

[fringe nebula]

patience, and money

[pastel hatch]

been at it for like 100h by now

[pallid bone]

I think i went too far on my rerolls this time

[sullen mica]

guys how rare is a seed with three soul cards

i didnt wanna take two of em tho 💔

[keen pilot]

idk, I got one a while ago

[ebon condor]

very rare

[sullen mica]

did the 3rd spawn cuz i skipped the 2nd or does it not care

[ebon condor]

well actually pre endless or no?

[sullen mica]

ante 20 rn

lmao

[ebon condor]

yeah thats substantially less rare

still cool tho

[keen pilot]

Shouldn't affect the odds I believe

[sullen mica]

friend genuinely blocked me when i sent it to him

mad cuz his seeds are ass

bro doesnt know i never stop playing

[keen pilot]

There was Yorick, Canio, and Trib appeared in one of the endless antes

I sold Canio cuz it stayed at x1 for several antes =w=

Pretty decent start for a naneinf attempt lul

lol, this would be a funny way to lose

[fringe nebula]

you need banner to survive ante 3

ok good

[keen pilot]

Yeah, ik, I'm not considering burglar, cuz I need discards

[fringe nebula]

$14/round is huge

[keen pilot]

thank you game

dunno what I'm gonna do with it, I got no base mult to pivot so prob a pass

[fringe nebula]

still p strong because of brainstorm

chad is probably worth it if you have lucky cards

[keen pilot]

x32 I believe?

[fringe nebula]

or gold seal

[fringe nebula]

x64

[keen pilot]

Okay, yeah, I'm not smart
I somehow calculated 2 x 3 = 5

[vestal copper]

so true

[edgy stone]

Is Obelisk the best xmult joker?

[vestal copper]

one of

probably is tbh

[keen pilot]

eh, categorising jokers as "best" or "worst" isn't always the most accurate

[pastel hatch]

im an obelisk denier but not cause its bad but cause i need to think too much

dont recommend

[fringe nebula]

yes

obelisk is one of the best xmult joker

[fringe nebula]

i mean, you can play pair 11 times and then do stuff

not that much thinking

[fringe nebula]

40 k is managable

[pastel hatch]

welp good luck finding luchador

[fringe nebula]

nah

[pastel hatch]

i guess it is plasma

[fringe nebula]

add a glass enhancement or steel on numbered card

[pastel hatch]

depends on how face heavy is the deck

[keen pilot]

Hmm, I got some stone cards!

Could that work?

[pastel hatch]

yeh

[fringe nebula]

yea

stone card chad blueprint

[stone shell]

never let me in the kitchen again

[fringe nebula]

LMAO

[white forge]

Nice concept as uncommon

[pastel hatch]

infinite jokers frfr

[white forge]

Maybe 1/4 tho

[fringe nebula]

keep cooking

[stone shell]

nah dice + hallucination infinite packs is too funny

[weak relic]

Reroll heart to get vessel

[pastel hatch]

clearance sale and arkana packs would be basically infinite id imagine

[stone shell]

i also made a merry andy rework proposal but its lowk cooked

right forgot about those

ah well

[fringe nebula]

mr bones next trust

or maybe a justice

[weak relic]

[pure schooner]

Sell the two pair joker the holographic one

[frail canyon]

How do I unlock the checkered deck?

[visual niche]

genuine question

[honest latch]

i accidentally sold the spades card

[pure schooner]

Might be useful if yorick

[tacit stream]

technically on gold stake you can force specific legendaries by getting gold sticker on the other 4.

[visual niche]

IF ONLY

😭

[honest latch]

and got canio

[visual niche]

EXACTLY

[pure schooner]

Not bad

[visual niche]

EXACTLYYYY

[pure schooner]

Top 3 jokers

[visual niche]

EVERY FUCKING TIME YOU HOPE FOR YORICK AND BAM

[pure schooner]

Legendary wise

[visual niche]

CANIO

😭

[pure schooner]

Yorick is better

[frail canyon]

How do I unlock the checkered deck

[visual niche]

i wouldn't know

[pure schooner]

I think perkeo is overrated personally

[visual niche]

i've never had yorick

ever

[honest latch]

the first times ive ever gotten souls unseeded and they were canio and chicot

my fucking luck man

[visual niche]

literally

[pure schooner]

Well yorick + 2x discard voucher is best
Its x1 mult prr round

[pure schooner]

Dw ull get thete

[pure schooner]

It took me 3 monthes for finding trib

[visual niche]

i got him like 3 or 4 times

but this is like the 6th time i get Canio

i hate canio dude

😭

[wet burrow]

win gold stake with the other 4

and then u will always get yorick

ez

[pure schooner]

I hate chicot

[visual niche]

wait what

fr? 🤨

[pure schooner]

When it was my first legendary i was litterally rolling

[wet burrow]

in gold stake, it wont give u already gold stickered legendaries if ur missing gold sticker on any other legendaries

there was a solid stretch of like 200 runs

where every soul gave me chicot

it was prison

but there is some benefit to knowing whats in the soul

[honest latch]

the glass king of hearts i was planning to duplicate broke immediately

#fml

[visual niche]

thats AWESOME!!

[wet burrow]

yeah, so if u play gold stake rn u will only get canio chicot or yorick

no trib no perkeo

[visual niche]

thanks

[visual niche]

thats so cool

[placid lagoon]

That feel when you wake up and remember that you have a killer synergy and endless mode ahead .

[visual niche]

thank you all

i finally know how to get yorick : just C++

😊

[wet burrow]

yeah, it wasnt originally like this, but it was changed to make C++ achievable with much less rng

[visual niche]

nice nice

i might actually get C+ before getting C and C++

but who knows

[wet burrow]

i dont even have C+

lmaooo

[visual niche]

what deck(s) did you do C++ on lmao

[wet burrow]

ghost, analgyph, plasma, checkered, blue for the most part

[rich mauve]

this could be it chat

If I don't fumble

[wet burrow]
