[compact gazelle]

square jokers good full stop

[warm kindle]

if you're just buying it then no

[median grove]

worth scaling on ate 3? though

[median needle]

Is crafty joker good?

[compact gazelle]

but that late you probably dont see much use

[warm kindle]

yeah

[lament condor]

My deck was so fixed i didn't need 4 fingers or shortcut either it was so fun

[compact gazelle]

absolutely if you dont already have something like wee joker

[south monolith]

I should take this right

[round current]

on painted deck i got like 300 chips with that, green joker and acrobat and i mean you can do pairs with it but it’s better to do two pairs

[compact gazelle]

square is a very easy to use chips scaler which makes it consistently strong

[lament condor]

click "run info"

[round current]

for sure

[warm kindle]

painted is my fav deck

[round current]

its my new favorite too lol

[warm kindle]

its better to do pairs with square

[long zodiac]

what goes for green needle

[south monolith]

Holy hells I like flushes

[warm kindle]

but two pair can work as well

[round current]

i realized how easy it is to scale straights on painted

[round current]

oh really?

[warm kindle]

more consistent

[round current]

two pairs just felt more reliable to me

gotcha

that makes sense

[warm kindle]

especially if you're gonna play multiple in one round

[round current]

true

plus supernova

[lament condor]

that blue and black joker should probably replace fibonachi

[compact gazelle]

square is a pairspam joker
the two pair jokers are trousers and the class of card trigger effects that encompasses gemstones and fibonacci basically

[warm kindle]

I cant tell you how many times ive missed a two pair and died cause of it 😭

[round current]

aw man

[warm kindle]

so if you can play pairs just play pairs

[south monolith]

Uhh, @lament condor do I take the supernova

[round current]

i see i see

[compact gazelle]

throw hands at the wall that all consist of a pair and 2 unscored and watch the chips go up

[warm kindle]

but if you got trousers or something then two pairs is good

[lunar zealot]

Hello chat i am here to talk about our lord and savioe chaos the clown

[warm kindle]

or some other reason to play two pairs

[median grove]

is eternal burnt joker good here?

[round current]

trousers got me my first win that joker is awesome

[compact gazelle]

WE love chaos the clown

[lament condor]

yeah its decent

[lunar zealot]

Uhhh

[south monolith]

And sell which joker?

[lunar zealot]

you're pretty agnostic

Personal preference really

[compact gazelle]

potentially for carto?

[solar meteor]

redundant

[compact gazelle]

up to you

[round current]

i always take burnt joker but eternal is a lil crazy

[median grove]

why is it redundant

[lunar zealot]

It's blue stake

vv is only 600k

[warm kindle]

square joker ig

[round current]

u seem to be doing fine without it so far

[solar meteor]

you already have a chip scaler

[lunar zealot]

You can definitely afford to sell carto for burnt for more strength

[south monolith]

Ig I sell vaga for supernova

[median grove]

but dont i need more planet levels

[lunar zealot]

It's good for flint and heart

[lunar zealot]

Not always

[solar meteor]

i’m saying he doesn’t need it

[solar meteor]

:/

[lament condor]

whats the magic joker on (i forgot the name)

[solar meteor]

flint

[round current]

i like flint

[solar meteor]

flint doesn’t do anything against this setup

[south monolith]

14, I already sold vaga

[round current]

especially cause of blackboard yeah

ive tried doing flint with pairs and the extra 50-100 chips isn’t worth the joker slot

[dim thicket]

i hate the flint so much

[round current]

why

[lunar zealot]

I AM A MORON

[dim thicket]

it's just a super dangerous boss blind

[round current]

no ur not

[median grove]

vagabond is better than cartomancer

right?

[round current]

ohhhh

[dim thicket]

other then vv it's the one who's ended the most of my run

[round current]

yeah

[lunar zealot]

OOOOUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH

[dim thicket]

ehhh it depends

[round current]

cause u get a tarot card every hand vs. every blind

[dim thicket]

usuallyyyy i'd say yes but it comes at a big cost

[median grove]

in this situation is vagabond better? even though i have a lot of money

[dim thicket]

in this spot no

[median grove]

also im playing pairs so i dont really need eckfixing

[dim thicket]

you don't need a bunch of tarots bc pairs

[dim thicket]

exactly

[round current]

wait yeah if ur doing pairs u dont need tarots

[pallid galleon]

you ankh bp here right

[compact gazelle]

obligatory "i cant read"

[severe narwhal]

vagabond is best in every situation

[round current]

i mean if they’re not deckfixing and don’t have fortune teller theres no point

[slow iris]

uuuuuuuuuuuuu

[severe narwhal]

vagabond and 8 ball are best in every situation

EVERY one of them

[round current]

why 8 ball

[knotty zodiac]

deck fixing here can be moderately helpful for blackboard / square

[severe narwhal]

bc its just the best joker ever

[round current]

thats true but they said theyre not deckfixing cause they have pairs i think

i’m half asleep sorry

[long zodiac]

Humble little baseball card run

[round current]

i love baseball

fibonacci and castle too soo good

[long zodiac]

i also had two early immolates for erosion value

[old hearth]

is this even good this just seems really bad

[long zodiac]

it was just overall a great run

[lethal spear]

oh gee I wonder if this will turn into chicot wooo scary

[long zodiac]

it's good if you play a lot of pairs

[compact gazelle]

high tier
good mult scaler which is oftentimes the core of your build

[knotty zodiac]

scaling mult is always worth considering

[round current]

what i do is hold onto a good hand and just spam +mult with bullshit hands like pairs or highcards then use that +mult from that for my actual good hand does this make sense sorry

[lethal spear]

it turned into a chicot god dammit

[round current]

like if u see a flush in ur hand save it and just play high cards and ur good witn the flush

[slow iris]

chigoat

love

[compact gazelle]

the green joker "stratgy" is play pairs dont discard there isnt much more to it

[round current]

if ur not relying on money from the extra hand s

[old hearth]

i mean should i actually get it

[round current]

no literally

[lethal spear]

the BEST legendary oat

[round current]

u already have banner or whatever that joker is so u might as well

[compact gazelle]

whats supernova on, are you playing straights, are you discarding much

[knotty zodiac]

you have a free slot. instant take here

[solar meteor]

a4 is sort of late

[old hearth]

i am indeed discarding a lot cuz i always do, and i am playing straights, supernova is at like 15

[compact gazelle]

green joker does kinda block you from doing what red deck is meant to do
and nova may or may not be sufficient

[old hearth]

12

nvm

[round current]

hmmm

[long zodiac]

i

[knotty zodiac]

mm for straights ig skip

[compact gazelle]

with card sharp here the guess is probably fixed 2 hands a round
so green might not even scale if youre discarding much

[long zodiac]

I assume i pass on invis

[compact gazelle]

pass on the green this time is my opinion

[round current]

i would its too risky

[compact gazelle]

youre in endless mode all strategy has gone out the window already

[solar meteor]

that build is bound to get poked in the eye

[long zodiac]

yeah

[severe narwhal]

Chicot goated bro

[noble mango]

Which is better

Trance or burnt joker

[round current]

for what

[solar meteor]

context hat

[noble mango]

Like
Both gives levels in some way

[round current]

are you not able to take both

oh

[humble gulch]

Probably trance

I'd choose trance

[round current]

burnt joker with plenty of blue seals for pairs work but in general i guess trance it just depends on the deck

[solar meteor]

trance doesn’t take up a joker slot and is permanently in your deck

[noble mango]

10$

[round current]

hmmmm

[knotty zodiac]

trance early-mid. doesnt consume a slot, can be death'd

[round current]

what jokers do u alr have

or are you just asking a question

[noble mango]

Question pretty much

It it were to show up in first shop of ghost deck

Which do i choose

[round current]

ohhh

[noble mango]

Obv you can't afford the entire shop

[round current]

unfortunately no unless you take that one skip

with the free packs or whatever

[knotty zodiac]

oh interesting. maybe burnt here because the poly helps

[noble mango]

Voucher?

[noble mango]

True
There's also hex that you start with

[solar meteor]

i prefer burnt early

[noble mango]

~~You can sell it ~~

[olive roost]

what even are the last 3 isn't there only 9 hands anyways

[round current]

is this even worth skipping for ante 1

[knotty zodiac]

think... bigger. you can create and copy cards in balatro

[round current]

flush five
flush house
five of a kind

i still need the flush five planet card

[olive flax]

That feeling when the pieces just fall in the right place and you end up getting 6 new Gold stickers

[noble mango]

For ante 1 yeah sure

But after that
Mostly no

[round current]

gotcha

[olive flax]

Including superpostion

[round current]

yoo congrats

[knotty zodiac]

hm once slots are filled, still burnt?

[noble mango]

Polychrome burnt

[olive flax]

Thx

[round current]

space joker with burnt joker my beloved

[solar meteor]

then it comes down to further context

[noble mango]

Or you have 1 plain blue sealed card on a 52 card deck

[solar meteor]

early burnt guarantees a planet level which is a better snowballing tool early game

[idle basin]

I had a great idea

[median grove]

is this worth it..

[round current]

ive had this happen to me soo many times and ive had to end up using it in a hand anyways cause i suck

[solar meteor]

doesn’t require deck digging

[round current]

this is awesome

[olive flax]

Build in run sector

[median grove]

is this worth it?

[idle basin]

It was on first shop btw

[round current]

yooo

[median grove]

holo is only giving 1x

[round current]

sell it

[noble mango]

Relies a bit on luck to get the hand you want

[median grove]

are you talking to me

[noble mango]

But well
Pair

[knotty zodiac]

burnt is strongly paircoded

[solar meteor]

you’re only going to upgrade pairs

[round current]

fingers crossed u get trib

[humble gulch]

I'd skip

[round current]

yeah

[median grove]

really?

[noble mango]

Happens 80% of time

[round current]

if ur holo isn’t doing anything

[median grove]

but @saul said sell holo

[humble gulch]

Hologram will do more than chicot, trib or perkeo

[median grove]

true ig

[solar meteor]

which isn’t a real issue to whiff when it has a 93% draw rate

[round current]

hmm

[median grove]

is that true @round current

[round current]

but aren’t u skipping with the red card mult whats ur red card mult at

[noble mango]

Btw yall ever go out?

[median grove]

• 36

[round current]

i mean probably i’m not that smart

[knotty zodiac]

what is "outside"

[round current]

no

[noble mango]

I kinda not like the outside at all

[humble gulch]

Only when I need to, my social anxiety doesn't let me :3

[round current]

neither do i

[compact gazelle]

walking is good for me :3

[noble mango]

Another person with social anxiety
Nice

[solar meteor]

i travel every now and then

[round current]

i mean i like going out i don’t have social anxiety i just have a guilty conscious and insecure

[compact gazelle]

do i go out for social purposes? no
unless an extrovert drags me with em

[solar meteor]

used to study abroad

[round current]

woah thats cool

what did u study

[noble mango]

Ain't that just the same thing renamed

[round current]

like was if for a college major

[round current]

i mean kinda

[noble mango]

Insecurities

[solar meteor]

industrial architecture

[round current]

i don’t get anxious being around people i just hope they don’t think im ugly or something

it doesn’t hit me until i get home anyways

[round current]

that’s awesome

[noble mango]

Oh
Thinking what other people think of you?

Happens to me most of the time

Till i realize

Do they even care

[round current]

maybe it is social anxiety but at the same time i love being around people and i talk a lot so i don’t know

[noble mango]

Or they just forget about you like just another day

[round current]

no but you can’t just not turn your brain off like that

you’re only human

[noble mango]

After all

Im only human
After all

[round current]

its easy to overthink i do it all the time

[solar meteor]

i’m gonna brap

[round current]

this fucking song

don’t put the blame on meee

[tropic mauve]

hey, can someone tell me if is it worth to take my chances with a legendary here?

[noble mango]

Struggles of a smart person . . .

[compact gazelle]

thought to add
nature calms my thoughts
i go places pretty much only with my family
we travel a lot but even overseas i remain a wallflower :>

[round current]

whats the score of ur average hand

[tropic mauve]

50 million

[compact gazelle]

napoli juve
aperol

[round current]

i’ve only read one nietzsche book i’m just paranoid as hell

[noble mango]

Well

Trib is a win but

Do you gamble that 1/5 chance

[ebon condor]

oo really nice setup, barring a bad boss blind youre looking really good!

[round current]

i wouldn’t especially with 50mil but

also yes i believe in you

[compact gazelle]

trib isnt even that much a buff because theyd have to sell a copier joker for the 1 in 5

[noble mango]

Oh right i forgot the photo is eternal

[tropic mauve]

i guess is too risky, maybe ill try to get negatives post 8 ante

[round current]

yes yes

[tropic mauve]

ok, thanks

[noble mango]

You ever got ecto once?

[tropic mauve]

nope in this run

[noble mango]

The first ecto is so good imo
The 2nd and 3rd feels so punishing

[round current]

i need to try and get more ectos for the stuntman and the other paintbrush voucher rughggh

NOOOOOO

well

u did really good still

congrats regardless

yeahhh :(

happens to the best of us

[idle basin]

Update

[round current]

LMAO

[round current]

whats the xmult looking like

[knotty zodiac]

u mad?

[compact gazelle]

this should have two cases
one closer to the front labeled THIS CASE and one in the back labeled THAT CASE

[round current]

i like how they get smaller in size like russian nesting dolls

[idle basin]

844 with 2 pairs

[round current]

holy shit ????

[idle basin]

Im trying to go for 4 of a kind

[round current]

u got this

it will say 1 soon

trust

[sweet raven]

we are very serious here in the discussion channel

[idle basin]

I’ll share the seed when im done

[round current]

its ok ive been playing for a year and my best streak is 2

[round current]

awesome

[noble mango]

You improved well

(i won't post another well)

[round current]

when gilded win its gonna be like that one scene in the internship where they pop bottles in slow mo

[round current]

aww man i was looking forward to it

[idle basin]

I have 4 madness now

[compact gazelle]

someone stop this individual

shes gone mad

[pallid galleon]

yall reckon i pick up showman here

[noble mango]

Gosh dang i haven't drawn ever in like a year

[round current]

u should

its nice to draw

[noble mango]

Show em man
That you don't need it

[round current]

draw a well

[idle basin]

Single king with +4 multi

[pallid galleon]

true

lol

[median grove]

is this run good?

[idle basin]

I got a blueprint but its not eternal :c

[pallid galleon]

:c

[noble mango]

Reminds me of roffle's well met sound

[cedar leaf]

dude i need your seed

[pallid galleon]

hey are you still here

[pallid galleon]

you can do this on any seed

[timber pilot]

Depends on how scaled square and hologram are

Red card too

[slow iris]

rare antimatter appearance

[ebon condor]

this joker setup looks like if you looked at a tierlist and just chose 3 random s tier jokers

also bean is there

but whatever

[slow iris]

the game blessed me with these amazing jokers

[timber dawn]

My life is complete with an ante 1 overstock

[pallid galleon]

when you copy stuntman before a round does your hand size also decrease for each copy

[timber dawn]

yeah i think so

[pallid galleon]

so i should not copy stuntman and then move it in front of bp before i score

[noble mango]

Should i buy ante 1 overstock

My money is non existent

[timber dawn]

just get good

just be lucky as chat calls roffle

(this is the first time he got early overstock in weeks)

[pallid galleon]

oh nvm it doesnt copy the hand size penalty

[idle basin]

Someone do better with this seed than i did because i am very skill issue

[humble gulch]

Coming right up

[idle basin]

Only works on black chip or above

[noble mango]

You mean stake?

[idle basin]

Yes

I don’t know this game very well (am stupid)

[noble mango]

Best i got is ante 11

No

[timber dawn]

I almost got my first gold stake W, but i scored 1,189,000 out of 1.2m on the ante 8 violet vessel. my brain lobotimized itself

[idle basin]

Funny enough this seed was actually my discovery for the madness card

[kind creek]

Good video

I am taking that video

[noble mango]

I mean
Ante 10 boss blind ig

And it's on white stake my ass bad baltro

[timber dawn]

i once died to the ante 1 big blind on white stake(i was never the same)

[noble mango]

Well
I once did

Maybe

If i rember

[upper spade]

I was almost there.

[patent sail]

carried by negative vagabond icl 🗣🔥

neverminf i got fucking ante 4 toothed

[zenith raven]

Oh god here we go. Wish me luck.

Please Burglar

I’ve been scoring e88 with a full hand of red seal steel. Do I try to play the blinds in ante 25?

[fringe nebula]

I'm angy

[patent sail]

i got fucking crimson hearted what the fuck is this

bro deadass debuffed all my xmults one by one

[fringe nebula]

I'm no longer angy

[visual arch]

i just did a budget bean bug with troubodour instead of bean lol

[patent sail]

I SURVIVED

thank god

fuck you crimson fart

funny setup

[fringe nebula]

.........

fuck

[pine swift]

All jokers i had were wihout gold stickers. So many new stickers 🤑

[fringe nebula]

massive

[zenith raven]

This is not going how I had hoped lol

[flat tiger]

what do you do with Plasma deck when zero X mult joker show up

focus on chips dont work on purple

[slow iris]

who needs scoring jokers anyway

[timber pilot]

It totally works I won a gold stake run with basically just tripple runner once

But yeah plasma should usually pivot to xmult

[flat tiger]

getting triple runner is more rare then just getting lucky with tons of X mult jokers

[acoustic flare]

can i still get cavendish if i sell gros michel

[slow iris]

no

[timber pilot]

Nope

[timber pilot]

Well, yeah, actually true

[flat tiger]

i keep getting some chip jokers and decent to good mult jokers but without X mult it just doesnt beat ante 8

[timber pilot]

Your run just kinda dies if you can't pivot usually (unless you get 500 copies of a chip scaler somehow)

[humble gulch]

You seem a little mad

[fringe nebula]

indeed i am

[flat tiger]

plasma is as hard as painted deck, it took me hours to beat purple, while I got like 3-4 win streak getting to painted

[humble gulch]

Painted is easy

[worldly barn]

Painted is easy

[flat tiger]

painted and plasma is a lot harder then the other leadign up to it at least

[timber pilot]

Chip scalers make plasma deck kinda easy

[humble gulch]

Not really

[flat tiger]

no x mult you cant really do much

[humble gulch]

Plasma is the worst deck for ante 8 wins

Plasma is actually horrible

[timber pilot]

Runner carried me through the higher stakes on plasma

[zenith raven]

Damnit. So close

[flat tiger]

plasma always ends in ante 8 when you cant get multiple x mult

[timber pilot]

I love plasma deck

Nah I played higher stakes with it too it's still fun

[pallid galleon]

rip

[flat tiger]

chip spam only work before purple in plasma

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[timber pilot]

Not if you have a billion chip scalers at once

[zenith raven]

Burglar never came

[humble gulch]

Survivor bias

[pallid galleon]

oh jeez i better get my money up then

[fringe nebula]

I'm edging it

[humble gulch]

You're grinding a little too hard

Slow down

[zenith raven]

Yeah. 1200 wasn’t enough. Not even close. One ante I spent $300 on boss blind rerolls alone. Damn serpent

[pallid galleon]

yessssss

dont have any of the boss reroll vouchers tho, luckily i already went through the plant so i have some time

[vocal rose]

nice

try find a rebate or golden ticket

to generate thousands

[keen night]

Cool run i just finished

[pallid galleon]

luckily i found one

[vocal rose]

yeah just spam that and replace luchador with another copy joker

eventually replacing rebate with DNA for ante 24

[flat tiger]

painted deck mroe like painful deck

[pallid galleon]

wouldnt a bean also work for ante 24

[zenith raven]

Yep, late game stacks too important. I underestimated how much needed to save

[zenith raven]

Bean can work, but what does your deck look like

[fringe nebula]

how convenient is that

[pallid galleon]

just red seal gold

[zenith raven]

You prob gotta start converting to steel now

[pallid galleon]

ok

[fringe nebula]

uh

[pallid galleon]

i wanna store up money but i also need to reroll for sodas cause i need the vouchers

[silk cobalt]

Started as a hiker runner run, ended in a triboulet run

[pallid galleon]

who needs brainstorm anyways 🥱

[slow iris]

pearto2

[pallid galleon]

should i just take the burg now or make more money and look for more colas

cause imma die if i dont find the boss reroll vouchers

i guess theres no point in taking burglar now

[glad aspen]

Negative stencil doing absoluteley nothing

[fringe nebula]

ok

chat, a question

aj or popcorn

I'm leaning more towards popcorn gold sticker, but idk

[slow iris]

i'd go for popcorn

[fringe nebula]

nevermind, legendary is more important than popcorn

[slow iris]

yeaaaah

[compact jewel]

Is this a good stake balancing idea or am I stupid

[fringe nebula]

nvm i died

I should've taken that bull, but I'm too greedy

[pallid galleon]

nvm we got it

i think all i gotta do is convert everything to steel and then get a burglar and its a done deal

[flat tiger]

random hermit early is already making runs 10 times easier, making the problem even worse is not something I would say is good

small blind give no money hit a lot harder then score scaling at least to me

[compact jewel]

It's hard to think of good blue stake reworks I think it should just get removed

[flat tiger]

I feel like early money issue is shaping runs way too much

[slow iris]

i don't like the gold stake rebalance

[flat tiger]

its almost a joke if you get hermit early and start money rolling in

when you can start buying both pack early it makes too big of a difference

[slow iris]

uncanny

[left echo]

Fellas, quick question: Advice on tackling Blue and Orange stake? I am rusty and can't remember my strategy back in the day.

[flat tiger]

did you try getting mroe luck stat?

[left echo]

I've returned after getting lost in the mods. So wait... basically, anything involving luck?

[compact jewel]

I want to remove blue stake and move the other stakes down but I don't know what should the final challenge of the game be

[left echo]

Space Joker + Lucky Cards + Sixes... ok, fair enough, Office.

[flat tiger]

when the game give you blue seal and hermit early its almost a free win

until I play plasma deck and see zero X mult jokers i can use for hours

[left echo]

Got it.

[lavish gazelle]

So you start at $2 and get enough to get a pack, meh not having the $7-$8 necessary to get a uncommon or rare joker at the start kinda sucks

[flat tiger]

most people hate the -1 discard but I hate the no small blind money a lot more

if you cant draw high flushes you cant even get the full $3

good job having $6 to start the run then the pack give you 2 eternal, now you know you got youself into a shit run

[lavish gazelle]

And then the shop joker is a Burnt Joker which you can't pay for

[hybrid valve]

can seance give black hole?

[slow iris]

no

it can't give soul either

[hybrid valve]

useless joekr

[pallid galleon]

fr

[covert bison]

Negative showman summons another negative showman

[pallid galleon]

do people ever go for a second ecto in naneinf runs lol

[hybrid valve]

if they're using perkeo yeah

[dry harness]

if they get both hand size vouchers, I think so

[pallid galleon]

i guess in this case mathematically it makes my score worse

[prisma oak]

Back to back same build, spam two pair early with pants and then obelisk late game...

[fringe nebula]

both hallu and stm are really fun to play

but I think i will pick stm

[humble gulch]

Slow down a bit...

🐊

[fringe nebula]

what's wrong?

[humble gulch]

I want to complete it first

[knotty zodiac]

ooh a race

[fringe nebula]

I mean, I already have gold sticker on bean, invisible, stone joker, glass joker, showman, idol, flower pot, and throwback

[spice lance]

I think I just used all of my luck today

Wild, poly, ace of club popped up when I'm playing exactly that

[humble gulch]

I mean, I have Idol, stone, steel, glass, luchador, invis, banana, flowerpot and DNA

[fringe nebula]

nice

oh right

[humble gulch]

And smeared

[fringe nebula]

I also have steel gold stickered

[humble gulch]

I hate smeared

I hate it so much that I'm bleeding from my cheek 😭

[slow iris]

casually flexing on violent vessel

[fringe nebula]

free win

[humble gulch]

Constellation have been carrying me a lot

Like, a lot

[spice lance]

Another ancient crashed today

[compact gazelle]

shouldve skipped big blind

[spice lance]

Yeah I'm stupid

[humble gulch]

Heh

[spice lance]

I was hunting for the damn Illusion voucher

[compact gazelle]

now you can get not one but two incantations in a spectral pack

[humble gulch]

Well, I have money

And I'm dead

[compact gazelle]

spent down but didnt take brush >.<

[spice lance]

deserved for not taking paint brush when playing straight

[humble gulch]

Uhm

[compact gazelle]

always believe in the brush

[compact gazelle]

no way a ouija

no way a blank

[humble gulch]

Good enough

[compact gazelle]

the left one gives more +mult 👍

hope this helps

[frosty stream]

There’s nothing I can do here without a natural negative right? Not even idol?

[humble gulch]

Bruh

Stop

[pallid galleon]

idol should be better if you have the deck fixing

[compact gazelle]

currently searching for flower pot

[humble gulch]

Funny

[frosty stream]

I have the deck fixing but I think sock is better right because it retriggers glass and polychrome?

[compact gazelle]

no way a ticket

[pallid galleon]

gotta be better than hanging chad tho

unless the math says otherwise

[humble gulch]

Here's my carry

[pallid galleon]

you could use a calculator on that

[compact gazelle]

i can math it

[frosty stream]

Ngl I have no idea how I’d math that

[compact gazelle]

poly glass you said

red seal or no

and is it pairs

[frosty stream]

I have red seal glass polychrome flush five

[flat tiger]

FFS game

[compact gazelle]

oh its f5

alright

one sec

[pallid galleon]

https://balatrocalc.com/? you can use this

[frosty stream]

Interesting thanks

Can’t use now as I’m away from home but will use when I’m back home

[noble mango]

Didn't expect using three grims to be winnable

[knotty zodiac]

just skip 16 rounds and itll finally be good. trust

[noble mango]

And crypid on aces also

[fringe nebula]

deep regret

59 out of 150

[frosty stream]

How’d you go

[compact gazelle]

sell one chad for idol then put 2 copiers on idol and one on sock

i think

[fringe nebula]

welp

time to ride on the bus

[compact gazelle]

im not sure i did everything right but i did at least not forget to factor for the poly on chad

[frosty stream]

Alright I’ll go for it

Thanks

[pallid galleon]

this wins ante 24 right? i dont have the second hand size voucher so my hand size is only 8

high card level 50

[humble gulch]

That was so close...

[compact gazelle]

the math, if anyones willing to double check

[pallid galleon]

uh could you confirm my situation

[knotty zodiac]

w is w

[compact gazelle]

wouldnt know, as ive never done naneinf/deep endless runs

[pallid galleon]

oh

i dont think theres any way to improve my score anyways

[compact gazelle]

if you can give me the numbers i can check

[frosty stream]

New high score thanks!! And I didn’t even put the glass red seal first

[pallid galleon]

the only thing im unsure about is the number of steel cards left in hand

[pallid galleon]

awesome

8 hand size, idol adds 5 cards and plays one so that leaves 12 in hand

playing the hand leaves 11 in hand right

[compact gazelle]

idol?

:3

[pallid galleon]

dna lol

[flat tiger]

more like CRASH OUT

[compact gazelle]

handsize 8, quintuple dna trigger off one card played means 12 in hand and when you play next you have 11
thats correct

[pallid galleon]

alright hopefully this should win then

[frosty stream]

Don’t have dna

Oh for you mb

[pallid galleon]

yuh

[frosty stream]

Huh

[pallid galleon]

wish me luck 🙏

[rich plank]

JOKERLESS IS OVER

[pallid galleon]

W

[rich plank]

THE HARDEST THING, UGHH, I MISS THE CLOWNS

[pallid galleon]

yippee i lived

[visual arch]

Can't get a mime to show up but i've seen 4 invisible jokers so far:

[pallid galleon]

just gotta find burg now

[compact gazelle]

cerulean bell doing numbers on you

[floral latch]

how do i get better🤔 i suck and cant beat the game

[harsh flame]

is there any way to make invisible joker change what itll copy

[pallid galleon]

alright all i gotta do is find burglar now

[visual arch]

Will this naneinf:

[harsh flame]

try and go for pair builds

[pallid galleon]

anyone wanna place bets on how much money i need to spend?

[visual arch]

sell the jokers you don't want it to copy otherwise no

[harsh flame]

one mime will basically save ur run

[ornate iris]

what level is your high card

[floral latch]

ill try because i mostly go for flushes

[visual arch]

73

[harsh flame]

the joker its copying is eternal

[harsh flame]

u can start with flushes/straights/full houses but as soon as u get a stable mult/chips joker optimize for pairs

[ornate iris]

when the wheel of fortune hits polychrome 🤤🤤

[ornate iris]

bloodstone is gonna be ur best friend

[compact gazelle]

buying a joker

[floral latch]

whats that

[compact gazelle]

causes it to reroll its selection

or actually not quite it just shifts the remainder brackets

[visual arch]

Do I sell a copy joker here?

[ornate iris]

unlocked by having 30 hearts in your deck, it has a 1 in 2 chance of giving 1.5x mult per scored heart card

[floral latch]

holy moly

[harsh flame]

sell 1 brainstorm

[ornate iris]

yeah

[tawdry epoch]

rarer than cavendish breaking

[ornate iris]

one time it hit my swashbuckler

[humble gulch]

Sell baron

[subtle drum]

swashy mentioned

[ornate iris]

[subtle drum]

i don’t think it would do anything

[visual arch]

i went from e33 to e43 by selling one brainstorm, then copying baron with 3 blueprints and copying mime with 1 brainstorm

still not enough score

idk how i'm gonna pass ante 24

[flat tiger]

e33 mentioned

[ornate iris]

there's a mime in the shop dude

[frosty stream]

Playing multiple hands in e doesn’t do anything right?

Worth cutting my deck to 5?

[pallid galleon]

is there any reason to cut your deck to 5

[frosty stream]

Well not really but cutting my lucky cards

[ornate iris]

every round is the needle 🤑🤑

[frosty stream]

I mean

[subtle drum]

yeah but mine is effectively another baron, and so is bp/bs

[pallid galleon]

if you are playing glass cards you'll want to be able to make more of them tho

[frosty stream]

Like I have 25 cards atm

But some are lucky

[pallid galleon]

death them into glass

[frosty stream]

But if playing multiple hands does nothing anyways no problem

[pallid galleon]

it'll be more of a pain to make more glass cards if you dont have more cards

[slow iris]

baron can't retrigger gold cards though

[night bridge]

Missing DNA

[frosty stream]

Oh yeah I’ll do that too but

[night bridge]

And an ecto

[visual arch]

i need an ecto for DNA

rip

[ornate iris]

its baron but MONEY

[compact gazelle]

im confused now :<
calculator says that scores 3e43

[frosty stream]

Does playing multiple hands do much anyways

I can draw my glass hand consistently

[pallid galleon]

gotta press the plasma scoring

also i think its less than that

by a tad

[compact gazelle]

oh my god im a brick

[pallid galleon]

that is correct

[subtle drum]

true

[pallid galleon]

you also need it for burglar

[ornate iris]

i got e46

[compact gazelle]

haeh
math not mathing

my own calcs and the site both gave 3.1844e43

[visual arch]

crap

[night bridge]

What vouchers do you have

[visual arch]

i'm gonna have to use my double tags on mega spectral packs

[night bridge]

Might be worth to use those tags in a spectral pack skip if your vouchers are good

[pallid galleon]

yeah you should do that

[visual arch]

yeah i think i need dto do that

[ornate iris]

every voucher in the game except for magic trick

[compact gazelle]

without plasma its 515x50x2.25x1.5^(20x11)

[visual arch]

then i spend the $3.4k on finding DNA

[ornate iris]

and clearance sale

[visual arch]

bruh

none of them have an ecto

[floral latch]

btw what deck do i use, i tried using blue but it never quite worked out idk

[visual arch]

i opened like 6 packs

[night bridge]

Overstock+ is a huge miss tho

[pallid galleon]

just remove the chips and square it

[visual arch]

i lose now for sure

[compact gazelle]

&seed

[harsh flame]

pretty much any deck works honestly

[ornate iris]

the dna can't be this necessary

[harsh flame]

i like yellow deck a lot

[floral latch]

also holy are all balatro players mathematicians i just use what looks best and pray

[floral latch]

even black deck?

[visual arch]

only to pass ante 24

[subtle drum]

wdym it’s goated

[night bridge]

Unfortunately it is

[visual arch]

cause i dont think i naneinf with only 70 cards in deck

[harsh flame]

i think i beat black deck on gold stake with a pair run

[ornate iris]

did you at least find a cryptid

[visual arch]

no they were all incantations and ankhs

[floral latch]

ill try

[compact gazelle]

oh i just asked the site to do the plasma
plasma balancings not hard

[night bridge]

Thats what im saying, since he still doesnt have its upgraded version

[subtle drum]

ohh gotcha

[visual arch]

should i pivot to an idol run

[subtle drum]

can we see the deck

[subtle drum]

god DAMN

[compact gazelle]

idol sock is probably worse regardless

[ornate iris]

golden ticket

[compact gazelle]

and the pivot isnt exactly free to pull off

[visual arch]

yeah i was farming golden ticket for a bit

[subtle drum]

uhhh i’m not qualified to give advice here my best is a14

[visual arch]

i have eris levels already

[compact gazelle]

sure you are
my best is a12 one time for collection unlocks at which point i started a new run

[fringe nebula]

63/150

[night bridge]

If you want but i dont think its gonna get you through a lot

[pallid galleon]

whats the most yall had to spend to find burglar

cause im already down over 2k

[ornate iris]

okay you have tong, recyclo, and retcon so just roll down to serpent

[frosty stream]

This the highest I can get i guess? All glass polychrome red seal

[subtle drum]

yea istg past a11-12 is like actually impossible

[fringe nebula]

8k

[subtle drum]

idk how they do it

[glossy forge]

What a pack...

[pallid galleon]

gg im cooked

[subtle drum]

even seeded it always goes wrong

[compact gazelle]

ante 12 is where everything except dedicated deep endless runs are forced to stop

[ornate iris]

how do i make wee hack builds 🥺

[flat tiger]

how many kings do you want to start baron, or you just take baron even if you have a default deck

[compact gazelle]

before that you can force push a few other xmult scalers and the like

[pallid galleon]

depends on context

[delicate rivet]

photochad or baron idk which one to pick

[night bridge]

I swear the amount of times i see him before ante 25 is enormous but then he vanishes from existence

[fringe nebula]

as long as it's not ante 4

[compact gazelle]

after a12 the only surviving builds are triggerspam xmult

[subtle drum]

photochad for sure, baron is shit

[ornate iris]

red pill blue pill

[compact gazelle]

get a wee joker and then find a hack after

[frosty stream]

I guess the score could be slightly higher if I had 2 idols instead of photo but not by much?

[slow iris]

imagine if i had burnt joker at literally any point in the run

[flat tiger]

you already have 2 photos, of cos chad

[ornate iris]

[subtle drum]

crazy statement

[ornate iris]

really...

[compact gazelle]

120 levels instead of 100

[visual arch]

omen globe doing me dirty man

[pallid galleon]

it would do the equivalent of one more steel card

[ornate iris]

intriguing jokers

[slow iris]

number go up though

[wanton finch]

cosine of chad!?!?!

[ornate iris]

i wonder who's a trig student

[wanton finch]

im not i just like math too much

[pallid galleon]

would be epic

[ornate iris]

stupendium reference..?

[wanton finch]

i actually havent even made it to trig yet

[visual arch]

so just double checking an idol won't be enough?

cause i can switch to idol golden ticket right now

for ante 24

with 4 copy jokers

[night bridge]

Might have to pull the calc for that

[slow iris]

wonder if i'm ever going to beat this score in 8 antes on gold stake

[wanton finch]

calc is short for calculator by the way

(reference idfk anymore its 3:40 am where i am i should be asleep rn)

(however, its spring break right now)

[ornate iris]

did you get a wheel proc on one of the triboulets

[slow iris]

yes

[floral latch]

guys i play on xbox if i bought the steam version could i like get my progress back🤔

[slow iris]

the sock and buskin was a natural negative btw

[wanton finch]

wowzers

[stiff sparrow]

Joined the server

For one reason

[flat tiger]

I got 36/121 wheels so far, i guess I got lucky in not so useful places

[wanton finch]

why

[stiff sparrow]

To say how much I hate the fucking plant

AAAAAAAAAAQ

[pallid galleon]

guys im cooked im down to 300 dollars and theres no burger

[wanton finch]

theres a joke here i can make im not gonna be able to find it

[pallid galleon]

i mean a single glass card prolly wins here

[slow iris]

one glass card would've done the trick

[ornate iris]

easy fix:

[stiff sparrow]

Guess who didn’t get one

[compact gazelle]

who had 4 antes to get one

[pallid galleon]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[wanton finch]

seeds dont like to seed sometimes

[pallid galleon]

LETS GOOOOOO

[wanton finch]

idk

[ornate iris]

tarot cards are like three bucks dude

[flat tiger]

just get lucky 4Head

[pallid galleon]

that was like 4-5k rerolls

[ornate iris]

serpent rolling time

[stiff sparrow]

I opened like 5 fucking tarot packs

[slow iris]

didn't find a single one or?

[pallid galleon]

ok imagine i spend 300 rerolling boss blind and dont get it

[wanton finch]

for 1 card?

[pallid galleon]

its happened before

[stiff sparrow]

Yes

[compact gazelle]

if theyd looked a little harder for the thing that saves them from the boss blind that "hard counters" their build instead of only doing so in that ante they probably wouldve been fine

[stiff sparrow]

I LOOKED

[compact gazelle]

also this is the part where i point out theyre on ante 4 and round 8 meaning they skip too much beyond a shadow of a doubt

[stiff sparrow]

FOR A GLASS CARD

[wanton finch]

mmmm skipping recklessly 🤤

i love that one joker that rewards me for playing like a complete utter idiot

[glossy forge]

One thing that i dont see discussed much is how The Needle neuters our money reward by taking out the Hands

[flat tiger]

double throwback gaming

[stiff sparrow]

I got 75 bucks from those skips

[compact gazelle]

woah its almost like playing the round lets you use the shop and the shop has the arcana packs

[pallid galleon]

im boutta get my first two naneinfs in a single day

this is peam

[stiff sparrow]

SO WHERE WAS MY FUCKING GLASS CARD

[lime remnant]

no value and no money i hate needle

[compact gazelle]

die rich or live
is that really a choice here

[slow iris]

whenever i get trib on gold stake i just let out a big sigh

[lime remnant]

only 5 tarot? lmaoo

[compact gazelle]

you skipped the shops that wouldve had one

[flat tiger]

i love how i keep getting standard packs unless I get hologram then they never appear

[wanton finch]

throwback 🤤🤤🤤

[stiff sparrow]

:(

[wanton finch]

i love playing like a reckless idiot

[ornate iris]

(best legendary joker btw)

[slow iris]

it's the worst on gold stake

[wanton finch]

how do

[wanton finch]

how so

[ornate iris]

why is that

[compact gazelle]

counterable

[wanton finch]

NOOOOO 😭

[wanton finch]

fym counterable

[compact gazelle]

trib gets planted and marked

[stiff sparrow]

Hey you

Guess what

[compact gazelle]

the others dont suffer nearly as much

[slow iris]

it's the only legendary that can be countered by boss blinds and isn't as versatile as the others

[wanton finch]

market pliers?

[compact gazelle]

glass card doesnt work as well since trib runs trigger more faces than photo

[ornate iris]

canio:

[slow iris]

?

[lime remnant]

????

[ornate iris]

yorick:

[pallid galleon]

true but you could die before you get to scale canio or yorick

[slow iris]

?

[compact gazelle]

how rude

[wanton finch]

id argue canio is less versatile but thats just me

[lime remnant]

our brains are SHRINKING

[fringe nebula]

ante 4 round 8?

[flat tiger]

it got me the Merry Andy how dare you talk down to throwback

[pallid galleon]

and perkeo doesnt give you immediate scoring either

[wanton finch]

you just noticed

[slow iris]

do you mind explaining or

[pallid galleon]

trib is the only legendary to give you immediate scoring so i'd argue its one of the best

[ornate iris]

plant and water

[compact gazelle]

tribs the least flexible since he basically forces a certain aspect of play

[wanton finch]

nah yorick is actually pretty good im o

imo*

[stiff sparrow]

The boss blind money was too tempting😞

[compact gazelle]

yorick and canio are unconditional

[slow iris]

you still get score from yorick and canio

[wanton finch]

anything but canio

[ornate iris]

that is true

[compact gazelle]

chicot and perkeo are utilities

[fringe nebula]

you had 2 whole rounds to prepare for the plant

[slow iris]

no boss blinds counter the other legendaries

it's just trib

[pallid galleon]

lets you survive easily so you can focus on improving your deck to not be reliable on it

[compact gazelle]

the list goes
yorick canio chicot perkeo triboulet
as it has for a long time

[pallid galleon]

since it doesnt need much support

[ornate iris]

i was gonna day "what do boss blinds have to do with the stake" but im stupid and remember that it scales faster

[wanton finch]

epic rap battles of history
yorick vs the water

[stiff sparrow]

I noticed too late lwk

[compact gazelle]

thats what i said :3

[ornate iris]

temporary limitation of power

[wanton finch]

you right

[ornate iris]

always look at the blinds after beating an ante

[lime remnant]

you still have like the xmult before you go into the boss...?

[stiff sparrow]

I know but it’s 2 in the damn morning and I forgot

[compact gazelle]

its like saying psychic vs square

[wanton finch]

honestly thats fair im sleep deprived as hell right now its 3:50 am

[slow iris]

canio is unconditional, trib isn't

[stiff sparrow]

Anyways fuck the plant

Bye

[pallid galleon]

yorick gotta be kinda tough on 2 discards, thats two rounds without any benefit to your score unless you have additional discards. could easily die there

[wanton finch]

no thanks id rather not

[fringe nebula]

no

[ornate iris]

rare joker idea: ^2 mult if no discards are used yet

[ornate iris]

delayed gratification if it was good 🥹

[wanton finch]

EVIL canio idfk

[compact gazelle]

yorick does yorick things and remains the best legendary even above blue stake

[ornate iris]

you mean yorick?

[wanton finch]

yeah

[lime remnant]

if you die with no xmult yorick you would die with without yorick anyways

[wanton finch]

canio already evil tho

[slow iris]

trib only gives you instant scoring if you have some planet levels, and are playing face cards

[flat tiger]

trib is least versitle when it only work on K and Q

[compact gazelle]

theres really nothing quite like getting free scaling xmult at a rate of 1x an ante for doing something you can pretty much always be doing

[ornate iris]

first gold stake win was a madness build

[fringe nebula]

not really with pair huild

[lime remnant]

literally the most free xmult ever

[wanton finch]

i have NEVER heard of a pair build

but im listening

[fringe nebula]

pair build is the meta for gold stake

[slow iris]

pairs are meta on gold stake

[wanton finch]

ok

[flat tiger]

you also have discard by default, and by default you dont have a lot of Q and K, and you need retriggers for trib to be good

[compact gazelle]

canios not less versatile as he can be applied more broadly
however he is arguably less consistent as his scaling is volatile

[ornate iris]

the humble paredoila

[fringe nebula]

look at my magic deck gold stake exclusive stats lol

[compact gazelle]

ill cool off on the reactions now sorry

[wanton finch]

i got RATIOED how can i go on now

[compact gazelle]

how many of the mercuries are from the starting fools

[flat tiger]

may be I should actually just do pairs by deafult, at worst I die early, instead of being slow death dying at ante 6-8

[wanton finch]

also my hardest is blue deck white stake so i aint even gon blame yall for that

[fringe nebula]

how many bread have you eaten in your life?

[wanton finch]

at least 2

[fringe nebula]

YOOOO SOMEONE GOT IT

[compact gazelle]

it was like
one
mostly i was ing the plant guy

[fringe nebula]

I'm japanese

[wanton finch]

i got hit with 6 of them

[wanton finch]

i dont know ball i must admit it i was continuing a joke i didnt know the punchline to

[humble gulch]

Yo, that's the country with the statue of liberty, right?

[compact gazelle]

oh i suppose i did start that :>

[humble gulch]

[compact gazelle]

i dont get it :3

[wanton finch]

nah thats where the eiffel tower is trust

[ornate iris]

i have preferences

[fringe nebula]

It's a touhou reference

[compact gazelle]

golden gate bridge
but close

[wanton finch]

the jokes write themselves

[flat tiger]

i dont have a preferences on photochad they just happen to be the most effective way to... not die

[slow iris]

gold_stake

[compact gazelle]

:>

[wanton finch]

throw random strategies at the wall until you win the video game

(dont)

[flat tiger]

theres a million ways to die with anything else, theres like only 100 ways to die with photochad

[ornate iris]

ride the bus and abandoned deck

[flat tiger]

they just naturally get a higher survival rate

[wanton finch]

93 of them are the plant

[flat tiger]

also they are common so

[ornate iris]

square joker and two pair......

[lime remnant]

dont need 2p btw

[flat tiger]

game doestn even let me draw pairs reliably, thats why I hate doing 2 pairs

[ornate iris]

i meant spare trousers its 2am ok

[compact gazelle]

googled and got results for some other series
is the one youre talking about the "13"

[fringe nebula]

oh right

[ember glen]

maaan
this was such a fun run
but low handsize and water do not mix

[fringe nebula]

i forgot

[ornate iris]

trousers scales really well... square joker though

[fringe nebula]

+12-16 per round is pretty good

wdym

[slow iris]

which hand were you even going for

[fringe nebula]

you just need to not overscore

[flat tiger]

thats why its uncommon, bus/green scales slow AF

[ember glen]

two pair

[wanton finch]

i was deadass thinking about red card im a complete utter idiot

[slow iris]

with 5 hand size? face_holding_back_tears~1

[fringe nebula]

+4 mult per round is slow?

[wanton finch]

when yall were referring to square joker

[fringe nebula]

I don't think so

[wanton finch]

i may be stupid

[ember glen]

sometimes runs start off on the wrong foot 😭

[lime remnant]

it does take quite a bit of money

[slow iris]

wait why'd you take stuntman then

[ornate iris]

green joker makes me use my brain while i play balatro to avoid doing this exact thing

[fringe nebula]

red card is way more expensive than grimbo/bus/nova

[ember glen]

early game
i thought i could go pairs but y'know

[wanton finch]

BALATRO PLAYERS???? USING THEIR BRAIN???? never heard of ever

[ember glen]

one too many uranuses...

[slow iris]

oh

[flat tiger]

you only scale 4 mult per round if you jsut so happen to be weak enough to not win too quickly but also able to survive, pants only need to not instant win to get 4 mult a round

[lime remnant]

it scales great when you have the money

but yeah

[compact gazelle]

some one help me i cant internet :3

[humble gulch]

They end up being the same mult

[flat tiger]

pants is still a lot easier and safer

[humble gulch]

Trousers just so happen to scale +2

[fringe nebula]

they're still a meta pick nonetheless

[compact gazelle]

its easy to restrain your own scoring most of the time

[wanton finch]

is red card even good
