[timber pilot]

One of the scalers that you can take mid game without it being at zero, which I like

[bronze widget]

@void topaz I SHOULD HAVE TAKE NTEH TROUBADOR I GREEDIED AND GOT PUNISHED NOOOO

[fiery nymph]

i wouldnt say it stinks but its just meh...

you cant pivot

it makes your game plan really boring

and its not even that good

[wicked rover]

why 😭

[molten thicket]

its the most meh among the +mult scalers

[timber pilot]

It's my fourth most used card somehow even though I don't even like it that much (yes I'm pretty new to the game)

[fiery nymph]

its a value generator with temperance

[bronze widget]

oh my god

[pallid ferry]

would rather have a grimbo or rtb than a supernova but its good

[long zodiac]

Probably in case of a swash or temperance value

[wicked rover]

whats temperance

[night bridge]

Ily gift card

[wicked rover]

ahhh

[timber pilot]

The tarot that gives jokers' sell value

[fiery nymph]

the tarot that gives the total sell value of ur jokers

[bronze widget]

i am such afat fucking chud

[pallid ferry]

the tarot

[molten thicket]

uhh 1 mime goes right

[timber pilot]

This is why eternal egg is good

[pallid ferry]

i think?

[night bridge]

[pale wolf]

:DD

[pallid ferry]

this is why we gold stake

🥹

[pale wolf]

most textbook run of all time

[pallid ferry]

ol reliable

[wintry ice]

eh +60 mult on average is far more than enough

[molten thicket]

okayy do i greed even more

[wicked rover]

ok so the egg joker +swashbuckler

[olive roost]

i just realized that whenever i look at square joker i look at his neck thing as if it was his body so i just saw him as being really wide and short

[vestal copper]

is ts good

the photo rlly needs to go away why its here i barely use it anymore 💔

[timber pilot]

Ok yeah I'm not the only one who has supernova here (even though, again, I don't like supernova that much)

[pallid ferry]

i think its fine to sell the showman ? idk i dont know much about the really high score runs

[fiery nymph]

yeah at the end of the days its a mult scaler so it isnt bad, its just one of the worst hand scalers

[pale wolf]

too late, traitor

[waxen stream]

an unfortunate demise

[vestal copper]

supernova will forever be my goat

[pallid ferry]

heckin love cloud 9 oh my god its

[olive roost]

i don't really play on my phone but apparently this is mine. idk if it's obvious from it that i'm terrible at the game

[timber pilot]

Should've taken the arcana skip back on ante 3 it had chicot in it trust me

[wicked rover]

do i take dusk or joker as my first joker

[vestal copper]

joker

[pallid ferry]

i think jimbo is better

[vestal copper]

jimbo eats ante 1

[timber pilot]

Yeah some of these jokers are mediocre

[pallid ferry]

retriggers early with nothing to retrigger is pretty bad

jimbo is love

[wicked rover]

true

ill take joker

[timber pilot]

Droll and devious for instance become bad past early game

[bronze widget]

ankh mime 🤤

[timber pilot]

Ankh the satellite think of the money

[waxen stream]

nah the problem is
i also don't have any scoring
i mean i had The Family but i sold it for The Idol, thinking i would just fix my deck soon
The Idol swapped to 4 of diamonds after 1 round 💔

[pallid ferry]

no! stop! think of the business card value!

[humble gulch]

That's quite the shop

[pallid ferry]

this peaks

[timber pilot]

You should buy
** ** I think

[hexed junco]

Just watched a YouTube video and it gave me an idea for a deck
The deck always has 52 cards, but the # of cards can't be changed, and cards can't change ranks or suits
For example, if you draw a 9 of clubs and then enhance it (be it by making it lucky, polychrome or adding a red seal) the next time you draw that 9 of clubs, it will be that same one and because of you never running out of cards on your deck, you will always have a 52/1 chance of drawing any one card, including re-drawing that same lucky polychrome red seal 9 of clubs.

[olive roost]

i love seeing "best win streak: 0"

[wintry ice]

jimbo is good for the first few rounds

[wicked rover]

lol

[wintry ice]

dusk is better for later in the game

[pallid ferry]

true

[timber pilot]

Mine is 6 somehow even though I throw a lot of runs

Probably got it back when I was playing white-green stake or something

[waxen stream]

-# wait where

👀

[pallid ferry]

i need to sink more hours into this game i think my winstreak is only 3

[pallid ferry]

👀

where could be....

[round current]

my win streak is only 2 i suck but its fun so its ok

[frail valley]

the card that fixes my runs:

[pallid ferry]

truth!!

[waxen stream]

nah you're fine
my highest win streak is 1

[fiery nymph]

my highest winstreak is 3 but i only play gold stake

[pallid ferry]

it gifts you infinite money

[frail valley]

yes

[wicked rover]

it took me 46.8 hours for my first win

[frail valley]

67000 tregillion dollars

[waxen stream]

what if temperance didn't have a limit
Egg would be SSS+ tier

[pallid ferry]

1 balatrillion dollar

[abstract rivet]

no it would make gift card beyond sss+ tier

[pale wolf]

should i pivot to spare trousers? its better than rtb

[abstract rivet]

because of all the ecotplasms and negatives you can obtain

[frail valley]

that fucking egg that i hate

[pallid ferry]

balatro tier

[olive roost]

this isn't meant to be rude but that makes me feel a bit better because i've been losing my mind at having like, 25ish hours with no win

[tardy zinc]

After long endless run going back to new run is soo damn confusing lol

[abstract rivet]

and make the game boring because it just becomes reroll simulator

[waxen stream]

the both would be on the same tier imo

[wicked rover]

ik

[abstract rivet]

egg replaces a whole spot though

gift card you can keep and ditch it, and still retain all the value u obtained from i

[pallid ferry]

better

[pale wolf]

there's a certain number where you would exceed the average number of rerolls you need to find another temperance and then it's just infinite money

[waxen stream]

I mean
it's just a theory, a mind experiment

[wicked rover]

ive gotten better now and can beat anything under black consistantly

[pallid ferry]

a theory you say ..

[waxen stream]

ofc it would be bad for the game lol

[pallid ferry]

👀

[pale wolf]

there are many things in the game that are uncapped though

[timber pilot]

I lost a white stake run today on the cerulean bell by just a couple thousand chips

[olive roost]

i think it pisses me off because i have a friend who won their like, 3rd run or smth

[pale wolf]

economy tag is capped at 40, but you can get as much money from a handy tag as you want

[pale wolf]

when my friends first showed me this game I won the first run I played

[pallid ferry]

comes for us all (pretend thats a cerulean bell emoji)

[tardy zinc]

I never used all 6s in endless, does it goes good with endless plasma run?

[timber pilot]

Those kinds of runs typically use baron mime

[waxen stream]

🔵 🔔

[pallid ferry]

locked in

[indigo mesa]

silly buffoon pack

[ocean plover]

gawd damn

[indigo mesa]

im taking trio

[round current]

if only u could pick all four

[waxen stream]

only 1 goog option

[tardy zinc]

Got 6s from first round, should I keep it then

[ocean plover]

goog

[waxen stream]

-# intentional

[indigo mesa]

duo is generally better then trio but its ante 1 and i need mult for full houses i think its gotta be trio

[timber pilot]

Sell it for interest if possible but otherwise yeah keep it

[indigo mesa]

ah fuck it ill take duo and try not to die

[timber pilot]

If you see reserved, business card, bloodstone, hallucination or something yeah keep it

[soft talon]

Do I got this? (Supernova has a +32 mult)

[tardy zinc]

Got it, btw how you achieve highest possible scores in this game?
I remember like there was certain tactics, but forget em, like Plasma deck + some jokers I think

[ocean plover]

guys i need more chips right

[timber pilot]

A lot of barons, some mimes and a Perkeo. Perkeo copies cryptid spectral cards. Then you use them all at once to get a hand with a lot of steel red seal kings, then play one of them and watch the fireworks

[soft talon]

You have too much mult you need to have something that gives you more chips

[ocean plover]

fr

[devout roost]

lowkey a tad tiny smidge bit late for a pivot dont you think

[timber pilot]

You should get an xmult joker here trust me it's good

[ocean plover]

the family

[pale wolf]

80 pairs

[devout roost]

just play two pairs?

pair + pair = family trigger

right

?

[ocean plover]

no

4oak

[safe flower]

Absolutely fucking beautiful

[devout roost]

that has to be wrong

[ocean plover]

4oak 4x mult

[devout roost]

awful, not even polychrome hate to see it

now if that was eternal it would be an insta win

[pale wolf]

so you're just a troll, okay

[timber pilot]

No hex value

[devout roost]

not really

[indigo mesa]

oh my god

[indigo mesa]

as much as it hurts to pass on banana…

[olive roost]

ik that getting interest asap is important but by what round am i supposed to have $25

[devout roost]

how much stm sell for

[devout roost]

theres no guideline just freeball it

[void topaz]

guys we need to hop on amongus

[indigo mesa]

2 💔

[timber pilot]

There's no specific round, just get it whenever is convenient

[indigo mesa]

credit card in jumbo buffoon pack surely

[void topaz]

temperance always seems so good until its 8 dollars

[olive roost]

i'm gonna fucking kms

[devout roost]

8 dollar temperance is still nice

[void topaz]

bro

[devout roost]

i like it

[void topaz]

you have 4 discards

[timber pilot]

Somewhere on ante 2 is generally where you want to get 25 bucks but outside of it is fine too

[soft talon]

I mean it's just the first ante ig

[devout roost]

i typically do like ante 3-4 if i've been scaling mult

[soft talon]

Also you probably should've checked what ante there was

[olive roost]

ik it's not important i'm just kinda mad

[timber pilot]

Always take the 1 dollar temperance

[devout roost]

oh if youre on white stake dont worry about interest

[void topaz]

aint no one reading ante 1 bossblind

[devout roost]

just do whatever you want

[timber pilot]

Oh yeah if you don't get extra cash from hands that usually happens

It's worth it though

[devout roost]

yup

[soft talon]

I read it everytime

[void topaz]

really?

[soft talon]

...yeah?

[tawny python]

What could I have done better

[void topaz]

damn

[pale wolf]

It's kind of important, why wouldn't you look at it

[soft talon]

That doesn't sound like it's anything crazy to do

[devout roost]

dont draw hearts

[void topaz]

idk it usually doesnt end up mattering

[timber pilot]

Rerolled for Luchador I guessssss

[ocean plover]

hows the jokers lookin (lvl5 pear)

[void topaz]

unless its the darned hook

[tawny python]

I hate luchador :(

[devout roost]

you won

[pale wolf]

on the easier decks it doesn't really matter i guess

[ocean plover]

5 on green and 6 on bus

[void topaz]

but like if its the hook i can just feel its looming prescense

[pale wolf]

like looking at the boss blind is mandatory on erratic

[tawny python]

Gamble with misprint

[brave goblet]

Challenges are pretty easy when you start out with jokers lol

[indigo mesa]

no 😭

[devout roost]

the jokerless in question

[indigo mesa]

wait i just realized i forgot to skip for red card

fuck

[bronze widget]

rah

[tawny python]

:(

[humble gulch]

Stickers

[devout roost]

what no dont skip the only econ for 3 mult lmao

rocket is good

[void topaz]

hit the road sticker is huge

[timber pilot]

Oh my god wait I had the same thing happen once

[humble gulch]

Hit the road is actually good

[soft talon]

I've been trying a lot of flush decks recently for beating the higher stakes, I personally found myself pretty comfortable with them and managed to beat a lot of blinds pretty easily I reccomend

[timber pilot]

No wait that's the previously played not hearts

[indigo mesa]

no i didnt mean skip the buffoon pack, i took an emperor in an arcana pack

[rotund igloo]

Hit the road was one of my last raresfor c++ nice work

[humble gulch]

I love hit the road

[pale wolf]

6 17 6 17

[devout roost]

im gonna try a pairless run rq

on uh

red deck ig

[tawny python]

😹 wait why are you running a spade and heart deck with rocket and ballot

[void topaz]

hehehheheh

[void topaz]

bros finnaly unlocking dup

duo

[timber pilot]

Checkered deck is a trap, you don't have to always play flushes

[pale wolf]

Duo is easy to unlock on checkered

[void topaz]

wait i might not have duo on my new profile shit

[soft talon]

Does that joker even have a use? How often are you playing four of a kinds

[tawny python]

Hey its good with chicot

[void topaz]

deck fixing

[timber pilot]

If you deck fix

[void topaz]

especially on zodiac or ghost

and uhh

abandonded

[pale wolf]

recent checkered game

[void topaz]

[ocean plover]

WHAT.

[devout roost]

[ocean plover]

[pale wolf]

He's the best one

[void topaz]

not here though

[indigo mesa]

oh thank god i thought i was dead

[ocean plover]

like this?

[round current]

canio is the best legendary for me but yorick is the easiest to build

[pale wolf]

honestly I would just sell burglar 🦓

[void topaz]

it might be copy stuntman

[timber pilot]

Yeah true in this particular situation Chicot is what I was looking for though

[ocean plover]

why

more mult = better?

[void topaz]

low high card levels?

[indigo mesa]

suboptimal joker ordering

[ocean plover]

lvl 7 pair

lvl 3 high card

[void topaz]

sorry yes not high card

i meant pairs

ok then maybe it is just copy halfsies until rtb is stronger

[timber pilot]

3 discards not enough to scale Yorick

[ocean plover]

this looks like the best imo?

[void topaz]

yeah seems good

wait

ante 7

[ocean plover]

wait bus already at 19

[void topaz]

yeah i was gonna say

[ocean plover]

start copying bus?

[pale wolf]

oh I did not expand the picture and see the ante my b lol

[indigo mesa]

ladies and gentilmen i am fucking dead

[indigo mesa]

OH MY GOD

[ocean plover]

wow

[abstract rivet]

brainstorm is kinda less strong when u are relying on a +mult joker like boots tho

since its kinda just a 1.8-1.9x/just a seeing double or duo

cuz wheres ur econ coming from

[timber pilot]

3 jokers from riff raff let's goooo big money

[indigo mesa]

true lol

[light oak]

what should I do here

[timber pilot]

Take madness

[ocean plover]

hb

n

uh

[long zodiac]

do i take poly burnt joker here?

[timber pilot]

Yeah probably over one of the splashes

[light oak]

what is 2 splash doing? 😭

[ocean plover]

why the hell do you need 2 splashes for

[long zodiac]

they're foils so it's 100 chips

[ocean plover]

sell one and get the burnt

[humble gulch]

We ball

[timber pilot]

+50 chips though it's huge value trust it was worth ankhing

[brave goblet]

Straightsmaxxing

[rustic haven]

not even close...?

[light oak]

I'ma just sell faceless

[ocean plover]

wow

[rustic haven]

😭

i was "ah i fucked around too much with econ"

[ocean plover]

amazing job karu

[timber pilot]

Rental eternal egg

[rustic haven]

bc i greeded for money

[ocean plover]

also bro playin yellow deck

on orange steak

[rustic haven]

yur im jus gonna gold stake the easy decks

easy and i had like 14 failed attempts on orange stake

purple*

😭

this is like my 6th orange attempt

[ocean plover]

arcane for hanged maybe or pairsloppy

[timber pilot]

Think of the hermit value you'll have 6 bucks (huge)

[ocean plover]

bet

[pallid galleon]

should i sell a copy joker for burg

[ocean plover]

fuck

[pallid galleon]

not that its necessary

[ocean plover]

why

[void topaz]

why it look like that

[ocean plover]

what look like that

[pallid galleon]

either way im only playing serpent each round

[void topaz]

the

[pallid galleon]

burglar will just be more score/money

[ocean plover]

the what

[pallid galleon]

except for the showdown blinds

@void topaz what do you think

[void topaz]

wont you need it

you have enough cryptids for 32 right

you have 4 copyers so you just ante 39 now

[ocean plover]

BRO

[pallid galleon]

alr thx for the advice

[pallid galleon]

loll

[rustic haven]

no balatro im not playing straights...

[void topaz]

so you just replace perkeo

game done

[rustic haven]

what in the ass am i looking at

[devout roost]

nice little pairless run

did straights

was fun

[rustic haven]

bloodstone no 6s

gross

[devout roost]

came like last minute

didnt need it though

[rustic haven]

fair enough

[void topaz]

scoring 17 mill btw

[devout roost]

was rocking that devious joker

[random lark]

use runner as chip solution for pair

[rustic haven]

[devout roost]

is he epstein in disguise????

[random lark]

you play straights if you see one, otherwise play pairs

[frank notch]

runner is EXTREMELY good

[rustic haven]

yeah im not wasting an eternal on that

[humble gulch]

Runner is a pairs joker

[frank notch]

scale it whenever possible

[pallid galleon]

i have enough cryptids right
how many do you usually end up using going up to ante 39

[rustic haven]

is this actual tech

wth

[frank notch]

its unconditional and scales, so you can play pairs after you're satisfied with its chip count

[pallid galleon]

or none needed at all because of burglar

[void topaz]

you dont need to use them anymore

only for 32

[rustic haven]

fair enough

what would i even drop tho

[humble gulch]

+15 chips (a mercury level) in exchange of a hand

[prime valve]

What Balatro says, Player does

[rustic haven]

i just got sixth

[void topaz]

if you have 4 copyers and burglar you win

[rustic haven]

fair point

[devout roost]

i wouldnt do it in this setup i dont think

[pallid galleon]

does anything bad happen if i accidentally naneinf early, or does it just cause a visual bug

[humble gulch]

Well, runner is a pairs joker still

[rustic haven]

i mean i can drop golden or sixth

[void topaz]

its just cool

[devout roost]

like it depends where in ante 3 we're at

[devout roost]

no yeah i agree

[humble gulch]

Unless you can't discard, runner is pretty good

[rustic haven]

boss shop

[devout roost]

i just think its kinda late for it here

[rustic haven]

or

big blind shop

[devout roost]

yeah i wouldnt take it

[rustic haven]

blind before boss

[humble gulch]

Late would be ante 5 or 6

[rustic haven]

yea ante 3 isnt rlly late

xd

[devout roost]

yeah but i mean we have the econ and jokers to deck fix into something better

[pallid galleon]

wait technically cant you run out of money trying to reroll for serpent

[devout roost]

i mean runner is situational though, you wanna be doing other stuff in blinds

[humble gulch]

You don't need deck fixing for playing pairs

[void topaz]

i mean

[devout roost]

eh dont mean deck fixing but like

[pallid galleon]

i mean i can use cryptids on gold cards

[devout roost]

econ in general we have enough to just

[void topaz]

as long as your making atleast 400 bucks a round your fine

[devout roost]

ignore it

[void topaz]

which you definitly should be

[rustic haven]

golden joker is fine to lose

[devout roost]

well yeah

[humble gulch]

Not really

[timber pilot]

Theoretically possible but if you eco good it won't happen realistically

[devout roost]

you would take it there?

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[rustic haven]

i take over golden

[ocean plover]

haha ante 0?

first hop

shop

[rustic haven]

byebye hands

[ocean plover]

imma do it for the funsies

[devout roost]

interesting

[void topaz]

whys it half price

[ocean plover]

sleve

balances shop prices

[void topaz]

oh bruh i didnt even notice that

[random lark]

everything costs 5

[void topaz]

do a ghost/ plasma one ong

[ocean plover]

lol

[vestal copper]

this is cursed huh

[timber pilot]

Hieroglyph should give -8 hand size that would be epic

[vestal copper]

ill try out this mod tmrw

[rustic haven]

wait @humble gulch new question

[humble gulch]

[jolly relic]

OMG TOY STORY IN FORTNITE

[paper apex]

yooooo wsp guys

[humble gulch]

Friend inside me

[eager summit]

no, you meant hop

[pallid galleon]

whats up big guy

[jolly relic]

yes i wish woody had a friend in me

[ocean plover]

boing boing boing

[eager summit]

:3

there the bunny cat goes

[rustic haven]

okay so would u take it if you gad 7 hand size

bc i might have taken an ouija ante 2

hypothetically

[humble gulch]

Why...

[rustic haven]

i do it a lot actually

never punished i got all jacks

so

[humble gulch]

Well, stop doing it

❤️‍🩹

Yeah, no, don't take runner

[rustic haven]

well

uh

noted for next time

that happens

[timber pilot]

You should copy ouija with Perkeo and use 8 of them at once trust me it's smart

[rustic haven]

incoming -30 hand size

would be funny if u just got an instant loss screen

i assume it just caps at 1

idk if caps is the right word there but

yeah

[timber pilot]

Nope, you actually just lose

[rustic haven]

wait ong?

are you stroking me rn

[median grove]

is madness good on blue chip?

[rustic haven]

are you taking my piss

[timber pilot]

It's ok on purple and higher

[vestal copper]

its funny but you are throwing😔

[rustic haven]

never

[vestal copper]

lmfao?

[timber pilot]

[rustic haven]

i love ouija

[rustic haven]

[timber pilot]

Oh yeah this looks pretyy ok

[median grove]

what are the best jokers with hack? is it just wee?

i cant think of anything else

im not sure why hack is good

[gentle basalt]

It is not

[round current]

basically

[fiery nymph]

yeah this is why if you ever do an ankh ectoplasm naneinf you need to win the very hand you do it or else next round you lose

[median grove]

anything else?

[fiery nymph]

because you cant lose to hand size mid round

[round current]

unless ur on abandoned deck u could use it and fix ur stuff under 6 idk

[median grove]

why is hack even good then

oh i guess fib

[fiery nymph]

wee

[rustic haven]

thats funny xd

[gentle basalt]

It is not good lol, who is telling you its good

[round current]

fibonacci is really good

[timber pilot]

Reminds me of this run I did once

[timber pilot]

Wee joker primarily

[fiery nymph]

hack is like the boss-proof sock and buskin

[humble gulch]

I love hack

[median grove]

but why is it good besides wee?

[timber pilot]

It's not

Wee is, like, the only reason

[fiery nymph]

not true

[timber pilot]

Ok well fibonacci (however you spell that) too

[fiery nymph]

retriggers are good in general

[humble gulch]

Also, face cards are only good because of econ

[timber pilot]

Yeah retriggers are good but there are better retriggers than hack. Hanging chad and sock and buskin are generally better

[ocean plover]

lets get ballin

[mental bloom]

@void topaz wanna play multiplayer ?

[ocean plover]

achivement disabled btw obv

[timber pilot]

Photo chad is a thing

[ocean plover]

just for fun

[mental bloom]

echo deck my beloved

[fiery nymph]

its mid

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[mental bloom]

Have you ever seen Wee Joker

[bronze widget]

its a retrigger if you have your main card your playing as like a polychrome red seal 5 then its just a good retrigger

[fiery nymph]

i rather have a hack build on 3s than a photochad run

[ocean plover]

what the fuck

everything is holo

what

[timber pilot]

We were literally talking about why hack is good outside of wee

[round current]

i like photochad with flushes

[fiery nymph]

also interesting time to mention idol

[fiery nymph]

white stake final boss

[void topaz]

oh sure

[mental bloom]

everything is awesome 🗣️

[round current]

i guess

[mental bloom]

ah okay

[ocean plover]

AUGHGUHUH??

[mental bloom]

ME ASF

hello im the og hater

[ocean plover]

i wonder which one ill pick

[mental bloom]

WHATTTTT

INSANE

HOW

[ocean plover]

told you

[median grove]

why?

[ocean plover]

S4DM5V37 seed

if you wanna play

[humble gulch]

Oops all holo

[void topaz]

@mental bloom JXLSQ

[mental bloom]

YAY

[void topaz]

any deck preference

[mental bloom]

wrong profile sorry

[humble gulch]

Photochad is too dependent on retriggers, hack is more versatile because you don't exactly rely on it for score, numbers are easier to work with and it affects one extra card

[mental bloom]

ummmm

you can chose, just not erratic, nor black deck

[fiery nymph]

its consistent and boss proof

[mental bloom]

im fine with the others

[fiery nymph]

and relies a lot less on planets

[void topaz]

aight ready up

[round current]

erratic deck is so cool

[mental bloom]

alrrr

[ocean plover]

fr

[humble gulch]

Is trash

[round current]

why

[void topaz]

do you wanna skip

[wintry ice]

HOLO CONST

[mental bloom]

we have the same seed ?

[void topaz]

yea

[round current]

is it cause its inconsistent or something

[humble gulch]

Random deck fixing is not worth for a whole run

[mental bloom]

alr

[void topaz]

skip or nah

[timber pilot]

It's really good, being able to defeat violet vessel reliably with ease is not something a lot of strategies can do

[round current]

ahhh

[mental bloom]

wdym skip

no

[round current]

i see what u mean yeah

[mental bloom]

its a voucher skip

never in ante 1

[void topaz]

huh

its a rare skip for me

[mental bloom]

duh

[wintry ice]

erratic is pretty vanilla

[mental bloom]

let's start again and check the settings

[void topaz]

guh

[mental bloom]

doesn't work?

[void topaz]

wait whyd that happen

[mental bloom]

you want me to do the lobby?

[void topaz]

sure

[mental bloom]

alr

[wintry ice]

would you skip for a 15th of a hand

[round current]

oh for sure i just like trying to work with random cards its easier for me to fix my deck for erratic than most other decks cause im lazy

[mental bloom]

we're doing vanilla right

[void topaz]

id say standard

[wintry ice]

i don't like nerfing runner :(

[round current]

runner is a great joker i just never really do straights

[mental bloom]

okayyy

[round current]

i get what u mean tho yeah

[mental bloom]

im not that familiar with the multiplayer jokers tho

but lets go

[fiery nymph]

a lot of strategies can do just that, and a lot more consistently than photochad would

[void topaz]

theyre mostly mid

[mental bloom]

alrrr

[median grove]

is vagabond bad with face card?

because its an anti synergy

[mental bloom]

attrition ?

[fiery nymph]

no correlation as far as im concerned

[humble gulch]

??????

[void topaz]

huh

[timber pilot]

Photo chad is still really consistent at it

[fiery nymph]

especially when it loses to the plant

[void topaz]

it doesnt even give me an option to do that

[median grove]

beause when face cards score, vagabond is disabled

[void topaz]

oh you clicked standard

[mental bloom]

what gamemode

[void topaz]

not standard ranked

i meant the top one

[mental bloom]

ooooh

[median grove]

brother if face cards score money vagabond is disabled

why is that confusing

[humble gulch]

Hack isn't exactly a scoring joker and that makes him better

[timber pilot]

Luchador, chicot, that one voucher and reroll tag exist for a reason. Most bosses are designed to counter specific strategies

[vale mist]

oh I see the business card procks

[fiery nymph]

except for a consistent strategy....

[humble gulch]

Uncommon and ocuppies a slot, legendary and 1 in 16 btw

[mental bloom]

EVNBR

[median grove]

yeah so im wondering if its an anti synergy?

[void topaz]

surely this works

[fiery nymph]

and its also really dependent on planet levels

[mental bloom]

okay what deck

you choose

[void topaz]

i did zodiac

[fiery nymph]

photo is arguably the worse xmult in the game

[mental bloom]

alr

[humble gulch]

Photochad on it's own is pretty bad

[timber pilot]

Well, Chicot's unreliable, I'll give you that

[vale mist]

yes because two benefits are in conflict with one another

[void topaz]

whats your first skip

[mental bloom]

good luck

holo tag

[void topaz]

mines holographic

ok lovely

[mental bloom]

nice

[timber pilot]

Photo chad takes up so little space though that you can totally take Luchador and be fine

[humble gulch]

1 in 16 for director's cut

[vale mist]

scary face gives extra chips but gives business card chance to disable vagabond

[wintry ice]

idol is literally a worse version of it

[vestal copper]

chicot and unreliable in the same sentence

[humble gulch]

And finding a specific uncommon is horrible

[median grove]

so what do you think i should get rid of here?

[timber pilot]

The odds aren't horrible

[vestal copper]

chigoat is so fucking consistent with what it does

[humble gulch]

If your build depends on a 1 in 16 then it's trash

Same principle with bloodstone

[fiery nymph]

ur better off with not using photochad

[timber pilot]

Not just a 1 in 16, the possibility of Luchador, reroll tag and, although very unlikely, Chicot are also there. Alternatively, many of your runs won't even have the plant

[humble gulch]

Luchador is a 1 in 150 or something

[fiery nymph]

its an unnecessary risk for mid scoring

[wintry ice]

a card that always works when you need it to is unreliable?

[median grove]

what should i get rid of here? i think business card counteracts vagabond

its an anti synergy

[timber pilot]

As in, unreliable to get

[wintry ice]

oh

[timber pilot]

You are gonna be rerolling that 1 in 150 a lot

[median grove]

but is econ better than tarot cards?

[wintry ice]

makes sense

[median grove]

or are tarot cards better

[humble gulch]

150 rerolls are 750 dollars btw

Actually no, because luchador is even rarer

[vale mist]

personally I'm not too big a fan of vagabond so I would just not bother spending down and wait for a good replacement

[humble gulch]

What is the chance of a specific uncommon appearing?

[vale mist]

you could take gold jimbo for end of round money

[waxen stream]

yeah sell it and take golden joker
then reroll ig

[waxen stream]

vagabond is too good to be ignored

[median grove]

sell vagabond?

[vestal copper]

vaga is so broken its not even funny

[pallid galleon]

4 barons and 2 mimes on red seal steel kings is 1.5^20 mult per card right

[vestal copper]

dont

[timber pilot]

You don't need 150 rerolls to see a certain joker. Usually 2 appear per reroll and if you have overstock (which is a bit likelier considering we are ruling out the boss reroll voucher), then 3 or 4 appear not too infrequently as well

[waxen stream]

business card

[median grove]

sell business cards? the retriggers basically guarantee that vagabond wont proc

okay ty

[humble gulch]

Another 1 in 16 btw

[median grove]

so you think i should sell business ard?

[vestal copper]

whats your build again

[timber pilot]

The odds that you not only get the plant but also don't get any of the ways to disable it are unlikely

[vestal copper]

hmmm

[median grove]

no specific hands

[vale mist]

the stress of being so short on cash hurts my soul

[median grove]

im not sure what i should do!

[olive roost]

this white stake shit gets tricky dude

[nocturne bison]

id grab the gold joker

[vestal copper]

you either go nuts with vaga or with card

[fiery nymph]

back to what i was saying, its an unnecessary risk for no good reason. you sacrifice money, try to get jokers to keep you alive for mid scoring. way worse than a consistent alternative

[mental bloom]

DAMN MY BAD

[vestal copper]

you do take the gold joker tho

[median grove]

and keep vagabond?

[waxen stream]

yes

[timber pilot]

1 in 8 chance to get a voucher that helps with rerolling/disabling the boss

[vestal copper]

whats you main hand

[median grove]

because its good with vagabond?

[nocturne bison]

idk never use vagabond

[humble gulch]

There's 16 vouchers

[median grove]

i dont have one yet, i guess straights / 3oak?

[fiery nymph]

those are bad odds btw

even if it was real odds

[median grove]

but hopefully i acn deckfix around face cards

[vestal copper]

actually get stm and not gold

[vale mist]

in a sense cuz it gives you money after the round, when during the round you would've used vagabond

[timber pilot]

Yup, tape and overstock help, 2/16 = 1/8

[waxen stream]

you should pivot to 5oak / flush five soon

[humble gulch]

???

[vestal copper]

i have to go

[waxen stream]

especially since you have vagabond, the ultimate deck fixing joker

[median grove]

wait why it doesnt work with sock and buskin or scary face

[median grove]

i hae no deckfixing though

yet

[humble gulch]

Once you buy a voucher there's a tier two, and it's still 1 in 16

[timber pilot]

So?

[vale mist]

stm is a held in hand effect, meanwhile s&b and scary trigger on scored face cards

[waxen stream]

you will soon, don't worry

[median grove]

around kings?

[humble gulch]

Where did you get 1 in 8 from?

[timber pilot]

I'm not talking about getting both, just one is already substantial help

[fiery nymph]

this isnt worth trying to get into their head isnt it

[humble gulch]

Probably

[median grove]

i know thats what im saying, i dont know why i would get stm because my jokers are for played cards

[fiery nymph]

it doesn't look like they will change their mind

[timber pilot]

There are 2 out of 16 vouchers that help with the situation. 2/16 = 1/8

In fact, I forgot to mention reroll surplus

[fiery nymph]

still bad odds btw

[median grove]

or queens?

with stm

[vale mist]

agreed although you are in need of mult

[kind sierra]

I hope we one day see a joker that finally triggers off of played 7s

[timber pilot]

Not horrible. And again, there are other ways

[waxen stream]

any face card would do the trick
ig king or queens are better in case you get Triboulet

[humble gulch]

Yeah, going back to the grind

[median grove]

well maybe i get vagabond and stm and deckfix around queens?

[fiery nymph]

gl

[waxen stream]

it would be nice if said face card had a red seal tho

[median grove]

do you think glass joker is good here

or not really

[vale mist]

possibly yeah

[waxen stream]

not really
you don't have Oops! All 6's!, so it would take too long to scale

[vale mist]

but then you wouldn't be going for 5oak or flush five because you're also trying to hold queens in hand

maybe 4oak or pairslop lol

[fiery nymph]

vagabond makes any build possible

at least deck wise

[mental bloom]

GOD

It was starting to look good

[void topaz]

what lead you to any of these decisions

[mental bloom]

Um

Not gonna answer that

[void topaz]

wheres chad?

wheres rebate?

oh nvm you have rebate

im stupid

[olive roost]

ok so i start to always lose at ante 5-7 so what should i do now

[void topaz]

your base mult is fairly low

[mental bloom]

didn't need it honestly

[mental bloom]

yeah that was the issue

[void topaz]

no im saying that to gilded

[mental bloom]

campfire is very interesting

[mental bloom]

mine was too ngl

[rustic haven]

alr chat i beat 3 stakes of yellow deck today time to do it again bc that was on mobile and now im on pc...

yay...

[void topaz]

you dont go for base mult jokers in multiplayer lol

[mental bloom]

idk

[fiery nymph]

its easier to do it a second time

[mental bloom]

i play just like i usually do

[fiery nymph]

assuming you didnt get lucky the first time

[vale mist]

campfire is very powerful

[void topaz]

i already have a c+ profile on mobile and i just dont wanna do it on pc lol

[void topaz]

yeah thats not right

[rustic haven]

on 2 diff accounts with 2 different states of unlocks

[void topaz]

you gotta build towards flush five

[rustic haven]

i think i have a lot more unlocked on mobile than pc

bc i restarted my pc profile

[mental bloom]

oh like everytime?

sounds ahh

[void topaz]

i mean

[rustic haven]

cuz i hit unlock all by accident once 😭

[void topaz]

sometimes its high card

[mental bloom]

I did play ff before

but eh

[rustic haven]

fair

[humble gulch]

I'm so sleepy I can't play

[rustic haven]
