[frank notch]

show build

[south raven]

not playing literally

i just wanna talk

[frank notch]

play pairs

[south raven]

Cuz i cant play

[south raven]

I do that

[south raven]

but when i try burnt never appears and economy is at 0

[pale wolf]

burnt never appears
im crying

[south raven]

either way im still a begginner i have 2 gold stake wins

[eager prawn]

What is burnt?

[pale wolf]

a joker

[south raven]

burnt joker

first discard = pair level

[pale wolf]

+1 level to first discarded poker hand per round

but it is not even close to being necessary for a pair run

extremely funny to imply

[south raven]

I still like him

And win whenever i find him

[eager prawn]

Should have give a black hole whenever you discard Royal Flush

[south raven]

i had a lvl 76 pair build and my bro was dying watching me play

[pale wolf]

it certainly is great for pairs but you cant hope for a specific joker for any build or you're setting yourself up for failure

and pairs are the most consistent hand regardless of burnt

[south raven]

Ik

but

they are when you have economy and i usually dont have any money

[quaint fractal]

i have no word...

[pale wolf]

keeping your interest up should be a higher priority then

[south raven]

game just wants u to win

[south raven]

True

[pale wolf]

they already won

[south raven]

win at ante 36

or smth

The game is straight up blessing u with barons

Lowk can we all agree that most uncommon jokers have huge potential

[eager prawn]

Litterly Mr bone

[south raven]

i mean he saves u in a tough situation and allows you to keep trying

You never know what u can get next shop

[south raven]

real

[shell dagger]

2 streak plasma with mime and straights

[south raven]

[fervent quarry]

❌ Barren landscape

[south raven]

photochad

• sock alr lets u replay face cards

[eager prawn]

How's your deck?

[south raven]

most triggers is double copying sock

[summer steppe]

23 kings of heart and 3 random cards

[eager prawn]

Idol trigger is much better

[summer steppe]

29**

[summer steppe]

im about to hang them

graphically

[eager prawn]

[south raven]

Still goof

[echo sphinx]

[eager prawn]

Canio at the right most

[south raven]

New banana jimbo when

[eager prawn]

1.1?

[south raven]

1.1 when

[echo sphinx]

nah

very cold guess

[eager prawn]

When local thunk woke up

[echo sphinx]

hint 1: trigger-based

[eager prawn]

Impossible

[eager prawn]

Hmmm

[south raven]

Local thunk waking up when

[eager prawn]

Sock&buskin?

[south raven]

ok yeah enough

[eager prawn]

Only god knows

[south raven]

might be the pointy thing

i forgot the name in english

the 50 chips joker per spade

[echo sphinx]

real

not arrowhead

[eager prawn]

You play with Spanish language?

[echo sphinx]

but i liked that guess

[south raven]

si

[echo sphinx]

if i could get it

[eager prawn]

It's not arrowhead
It's blackthing

[echo sphinx]

[south raven]

Blackthing carried me in plasma

ngl

[echo sphinx]

hint 2: sock n bussin is one of the jokers

[eager prawn]

Middle one

[echo sphinx]

real

[south raven]

Hmm

smiley or scarey?

[jaunty comet]

gentleman i have an idea

i dont even know what to replace

[turbid nova]

Only shows up if cavendish breaks

[eager prawn]

Chip lover

[echo sphinx]

ill take that as an answer

[jaunty comet]

plasma

[echo sphinx]

ight heres the funny

its photosock

[jaunty comet]

should i get dna and stack up on gold kings?

[south raven]

I GUESSED THE MIME MF

[south raven]

off

ofc

gold is good

[eager prawn]

If only local thunk agreed with Xchips

[jaunty comet]

highkey im selling to the moon and odd tod

[eager prawn]

Told ya

[echo sphinx]

checkered drug eaten

now back to yellow deck

[south raven]

sell only todd for now bro

[echo sphinx]

why not

[south raven]

You will regret selling ur eco joker

[echo sphinx]

dna is basically death tarot if it ate one Hand per round to proc

[south raven]

goddamn 1008/1200 i js realised

[echo sphinx]

except unlike death tarot it doenst double benefit by replacing a bad card with good, it adds more

[atomic trout]

DNA is awesome during High Card runs

[jaunty comet]

looks inside

[echo sphinx]

PAIRSLOPPPPPP LETSGO

[south raven]

WHY DID U LOOK INSIDE

[atomic trout]

Glass plus Glass

[south raven]

U DOOMED US ALL

[echo sphinx]

whats blue doing there lol

[jaunty comet]

i dont even think photochad its worth it

[echo sphinx]

photochad is absolutely worth it

[jaunty comet]

and replace blue cus i got scary face for chips?

[atomic trout]

Blue Joker? This late?

[echo sphinx]

blue joker is good wym

[south raven]

photochat is basically my early carry

[jaunty comet]

especially with plasma

[echo sphinx]

its very weak in this specific lineup but ill take blue joker often

[jaunty comet]

plasma is chiped carried

[atomic trout]

For early game

[eager prawn]

Wdym late?

[atomic trout]

I didn't realize it's Plasma Deck

[echo sphinx]

bro 100 chips is nothing ot scoff at

[south raven]

id go blue with marble if u could nutsniffer

[eager prawn]

duplication

[robust lance]

looks inside further
code

[atomic trout]

On Plasma, that thing works

[echo sphinx]

balatroders will squeeze out every Hand just for Square joker to hit around 150 chips

and square joker is op

[south raven]

marble stone is unreal

[jaunty comet]

102 bucks ante 6

[echo sphinx]

imagine having 100 for absolutely no reason other than it existing

[jaunty comet]

seems balanced

[atomic trout]

Marble Joker too

[echo sphinx]

ikr

[south raven]

I havent tried them

in plasma

[echo sphinx]

tbh how often u getting marble stone

[south raven]

but they look like they going to the moon

[eager prawn]

Just use the bull atp

[echo sphinx]

they're both uncommons and one of them needs a stone in deck beforehand

[atomic trout]

Marble Joker plus Stone Joker on Plasma

[south raven]

I basically never stone

call me stupid

[eager prawn]

Most of us

[atomic trout]

Stone cards are so situational

[terse vale]

reminder that obelisk does nawt suck and bloodstone does

[jaunty comet]

god forbid id find a deja vu anywhere

[echo sphinx]

situational
scores 50 chips for absolutely no questions asked

[south raven]

good way to remove any cards without removing them entirely, 50 chips and can be used in pairs 3 times

[terse vale]

yeah stone isnt situational

its fffine

like good i’d say

[robust lance]

Yeah but I want my 5 card hands I can’t play a stone card with those

[waxen fable]

not even situational nor is fine

[terse vale]

not like something to be amazingly happy over but it does help

[waxen fable]

dis guy scales fast

[eager prawn]

5oak players left the chat

[terse vale]

they were never here

lol

[humble gulch]

Sticker

[robust lance]

Dude they don’t exist

[terse vale]

they don’t exist

[waxen fable]

sure tarot reliant but 25 chip for one existing stone does wonders

[echo sphinx]

who

[robust lance]

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN!

[terse vale]

oh you mean stone joker

uhhh

[south raven]

Bro they still work in order to make the idol hit

[terse vale]

I mean its there

[quaint stag]

perkeo but no mime 💔

[terse vale]

its the most forgettable joker so idk

[south raven]

and nobody plays foak

[echo sphinx]

not rly, idol hits is for Flush Five

[robust lance]

Dude people play four of a kind

[jaunty comet]

JHAHAHAHAHAHAH

YESSSS

YES YES YES

[waxen fable]

forgettable because either blue stake chuds dont appreciate chips or there's better options like square or runner

[terse vale]

idol is barely a thing to consider for stone card viability

[jaunty comet]

WHAT AM I REPLACING

[humble gulch]

@fiery nymph portable hone

[south raven]

f as in five im stupid and havent realised four exists

[echo sphinx]

nothin if u ask me

[robust lance]

Fair enough

[jaunty comet]

i cant just skip baron

[terse vale]

not even barely, its just not a thing to consider

[eager prawn]

I mostly play 5oak on erratic deck

[waxen fable]

idol fucking sucks we dont talk about that

[jaunty comet]

scaryface it is

[waxen fable]

doesn't matter if ur going for endless

[eager prawn]

Just deckfix

[echo sphinx]

i mean the entire joker lineup is either chad or things that proc with chad

[waxen fable]

if ur going for whitestake endless u go for baron by default

[echo sphinx]

baron is neither

[waxen fable]

it takes like 14 antes for dis bitch to be fully functional

[terse vale]

I feel like it just appears less
like everybody talks about cat or glass but never about steel or stone
feels like a joker that you never see! which makes sense because more people are gonna have glass or lucky than steel or stone

but still

[waxen fable]

that too

[terse vale]

also glass joker should be renamed to fragile joker

[waxen fable]

but cant deny stone is just as good as the other enhancement exclusive jokers

[echo sphinx]

steel stone is a bit wonk while cat and glass is literally free

[terse vale]

because imagine if cat was just “lucky joker”

that would be lame

[jaunty comet]

delightfull

also i took baron and i mset for scoring

[eager prawn]

steel jokers sobbing

[waxen fable]

this is like the worst deck for endless

[wicked sequoia]

I forgot how fun playing royal flushes was 🙏

[terse vale]

and golden ticket with “gold joker”

[wicked sequoia]

👑

[terse vale]

golden joker yes but I said gold not golden

[echo sphinx]

steel works if you're already steeling the deck. but if the deck is already steeled enough why take it for basically 2 steel's worth of procs
same for stone except slightly better cuz its 2 rocks per rock's worth of rock joker. it scales quick

[waxen fable]

dis setup is so much more fun than an endless nanlet setup

[wicked sequoia]

🙏

[south raven]

i usually grab steel joker

[wicked sequoia]

nanruns are too long

[south raven]

i always steel my blue seals

[echo sphinx]

valid

[terse vale]

although the thing is you can never have enough Xmult while with chips it does get to a point

[echo sphinx]

i also devil the blue seal

[south raven]

Yeah its food

good

[waxen fable]

always

[south raven]

regardless

[echo sphinx]

valid too

[terse vale]

but consistent chips all the time are still good

just not as good as steel joker I feel like? but they’re close imo

[south raven]

i like pants square joker

combo

[echo sphinx]

chips are much rarer and other than like. a handful of chip jokers theres only stone, 20 of one planet and like. hiero.

[jaunty comet]

should I? cus my mult its pretty good with baron and trading card would be usefull

[eager prawn]

Abandoned bus stop is the best one there is

[echo sphinx]

real

[south raven]

i love playing two pairs

runs

[eager prawn]

You don't like flush?

[jaunty comet]

i think im jumping off the window i forgot to reroll the bossblind

[eager prawn]

Rip

[south raven]

first ante only ngl

[south raven]

close the game

[eager prawn]

Fact

[echo sphinx]

next time look two ways before crossing the road
or might isekai you to next run

[south raven]

and play something else for like 5 min

the reload

u should be in shop

[eager prawn]

"isekai"

[tender vapor]

Do seeded runs really not count for game progression?

[eager prawn]

No doubt

[ancient gyro]

it can't be that easy

[tender vapor]

So you just have to get lucky on black deck gold stake?

[eager prawn]

Not that serious

[ancient gyro]

there's some skill merit in decision making

[south raven]

That gotta be hard

[ancient gyro]

most even

[south raven]

holy

[viral raft]

basically

I hate Black Deck

[south raven]

And a yellow deck enjoyer, get money

money always good

[tender vapor]

Not a lot of decisions to be made when you have no money and a store full of bad jokers. I guess the decision is "start new run?"

[humble gulch]

I love black deck

[viral raft]

how

[waxen fable]

stop relying on luck when playing this game

[humble gulch]

Is fun

[ancient gyro]

play it out and know your decision making patterns

[eager prawn]

Just have fun!!!

[waxen fable]

new players shouldn't be watching roffle if they want to improve

[south raven]

win first round with flush, go next, win with 2 flushes 1 flush 1toak

[waxen fable]

he just posts his luckiest clips

[eager prawn]

Fact

[viral raft]

"is fun" then start a C++ with just black deck

see how fun it's

[south raven]

balatro uni to learn, roffle to vibe

[waxen fable]

yes

[ancient gyro]

i had fun

[eager prawn]

And most seeded runs

[robust lance]

Players shouldn’t be watching

[viral raft]

Truthnuke

[ancient gyro]

next profile will include pairless ✌️

[eager prawn]

That's what I'm talking about

[humble gulch]

After Zodiac++

[south raven]

Balatro university

[viral raft]

crazy

[south raven]

come on gng

he literally make slideshows about balatro

[ancient gyro]

u should do gsg after

to slow down

[eager prawn]

He's the first naneinf achiever

[viral raft]

I don't like Roffle, i just found that he plays the "best" runs only

the rest he just dies by trying to photochad build around

[south raven]

I like watching roffle for the single reason that hes just vibing playing my fav game

[eager prawn]

Man it's entertainment

[south raven]

And most important

EGG

[viral raft]

yeah but i simply just found his gold stakes runs so incosistent

i like when he just plays white stake

so he can just play anything

[viral raft]

[south raven]

Lowk call me crazy, but i may be better at balatro than roffle

[slow iris]

i just find his content boring tbh

[south raven]

If i ever locked the fuck in

[eager prawn]

You don't have to sell your soul

[jaunty comet]

i am restarting the run idc if its seeded in my heart it will forever be unseeded

[ancient gyro]

prob not

[south raven]

my runs are mostly in vc with my best friend talking about life

so im focused on talking

[humble gulch]

Fine, I guess...

[eager prawn]

I just realized there's Q of spade in your name

[jaunty comet]

WAIT MAYBE I CAN SALVAGE IT

[viral raft]

mmmmm sometimes, most of the time is him on white stake playing anything or playing gold stake with the most generic face build ever made

[humble gulch]

What's exactly a gold stake gauntlet?

[south raven]

which cards do yall like playing

[humble gulch]

Is it just win streak?

Or C++

[jaunty comet]

nvm

[south raven]

like

[viral raft]

wdym with "cards"?

[south raven]

Rhe collab face cards

[viral raft]

jokers or rank cards

[eager prawn]

Pot of greed no cap

[viral raft]

ohhhh

[humble gulch]

Aces

[viral raft]

i like The Isaac and Fallout collab cards

so peak

[south raven]

Isaac was?

heart or diamond i forgot?

[robust lance]

I think that nothing beats the og skins

[robust lance]

Heart

[viral raft]

Hearts

[south raven]

also high or low contrast

[robust lance]

Cause that’s the health in the game

[robust lance]

Low contrast obviously

[viral raft]

mmmm i like low contast sometimes

[ancient gyro]

15 win streak rotating each deck

no losses

[viral raft]

which are the og skins?

[robust lance]

I mean, come on, who uses high contrast? Like 7 people? (Trollface)

[humble gulch]

So, win streak

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[robust lance]

No skins at all
Vanilla

[south raven]

i honestly like a lot of face collab cards

[humble gulch]

Fine

[eager prawn]

They are legends btw

[south raven]

Diamonds are my least fav

[viral raft]

mmmm i like to see the vanilla skins when is a really chill run

[robust lance]

I actually can’t say I like using the vanilla skins when I have a mod that makes them pokemon

[south raven]

yooo

which pokemons?

[humble gulch]

Plasma, fuck...

[viral raft]

yeah, you can't make too many interesting stuff when low Yellow is the main colour

[robust lance]

Forgot let me check (it’s in the modding channel somewhere)

[south raven]

ping me to the message and if u know it can u dm me the name of that mode?

[viral raft]

even the Enter the gungeon skins i found them OK because i don't see too many diffs between Qs and Ks

[south raven]

i honestly like the second option for diamonds idk the collab

[robust lance]

I’ll dm it to you eventually if I remember

(I’m in class right now)

[south raven]

ty ❤️‍🩹

[viral raft]

which is the second option?

[south raven]

dam another one like me in dc while in class

[viral raft]

i just remenber the gungeon one

the others i don't even remenber it at all

[south raven]

i only remember slay the empire and amongus ones

and the spades and diamonds are the second collab

like no

fudge

[viral raft]

the Amongus one is also Herts and the StS is Club for what i remenber

[south raven]

yeah

I use the second option (one after default) for diamonds and spades

but idk the names

[viral raft]

yeaaah i remenber that it was cutted in two parts: friends of jimbo I and then Friends of jimbo II

[viral raft]

The Cyberpunk and Stardew Valley ones?

[south raven]

dave the diver and the witcher

i had to search them up

all in high contrast

[viral raft]

ohhhh i see

that's cool

i like High contrast

i found cool they added that option because sometimes Clubs and Spades have similar contast when it's low

[south raven]

i used to mess them up ngl

[viral raft]

and that used to kill me alot of runs when i was still noob at the game

[severe arch]

Meeeeowwwww

[ancient gyro]

removes some color palettes for customized face card art unfortunately

[viral raft]

Ricardo is a big cat

[ancient gyro]

i don't use high contrast

[viral raft]

yeah, that's what i hate about high contrast

[south raven]

i sometimes like how they look better in high contrast

[viral raft]

yep, rn i'm not that bad at the game so i just play with low constast to see the peak collabs

[south raven]

what i like the most spades are black black and clubs are blue

[viral raft]

true, the fallout one i found nice as hell with the light blue colours

[ancient gyro]

i don't need to play flushes or specific suits for more than a couple antes anyhow

[viral raft]

but i remenber some of them being so meh

[ancient gyro]

low contrast is fine with me

[viral raft]

after ante 2 you basically forgot about Suits and you see it all with ranks

[ancient gyro]

thanks blackboard

[south raven]

its a nice touch seeing darker spades and lighter clubs

for me at least

[robust lance]

I like my cards dark as fuck

[late helm]

so damn close

[robust lance]

The amount of times I got a spade and club confused was two times

[viral raft]

yep, is really useful sometimes

my least fav collab skin was Bugsnax

is so meh

[south raven]

Im so far away from C++

i literally have 2 gold stake decks

anyways its getting late

im going

[viral raft]

and the low constast colours feels like i'm playing diamonds and the jacks looks like a light club lmao

[south raven]

bye papu have a good ome

[viral raft]

bye bye Kiyomi

[south raven]

i liked talking ngl

[viral raft]

me too!

see ya around!

[viral raft]

Sad

[willow frost]

rip

[viral raft]

gg wp

[ancient gyro]

reel 🎣 👅

[robust lance]

If clubs were lime green in high contrast I would consider using it honestly

The only reason I don’t is because I get more confused with the blue

[viral raft]

i have seen this screenshots like 3 times already 😭

[fast stirrup]

Guys i don’t know what to copy?
What do I copy for lucky cat triggers?
what do I copy for money?
what do I copy for pure score?

[viral raft]

still cool tbh

[ancient gyro]

i could've sworn this was a rarer one

[robust lance]

We had a rare joker tag but for screenshots

[ancient gyro]

this one has like a chat count of 2 at most

[wicked sequoia]

1 and 2 chad, 3 photo

[viral raft]

1. try to copy stuff to minmax or score alot
2. you can play high card and copy only Hanging chad so you minmax the hits (and you save a great one to you last hand and go next)
3. same as 2
4. you can copy Photo as your oneshot hand

[ancient gyro]

or my runs are just all the same 😐

[robust lance]

“Oh boy, I’m gonna have a unique run this time!”
Plays pairs or straights

[fast stirrup]

Hmmm

[robust lance]

(Says the flush player)

[fast stirrup]

i think i’m too strong even for high card

[viral raft]

damn you oneshot with high card?

[fast stirrup]

Yeah

i just did

i got 1 million

copying chad

[viral raft]

mmmm maybe you can copy Sock and Busk instead of chad

[fast stirrup]

Trueeee

[viral raft]

so you get 5 hits instead of 2 with hanging

then in last hand if you're still in the round copy Photo instead

[fast stirrup]

Next ante I think i could get away with high cards

[ancient gyro]

guilty

[robust lance]

Guilty as if it’s a bad thing

[fast stirrup]

it’s my first lucky cat run

[viral raft]

nice, so when you know you can play HC try to spam it before playing the big hand

[wicked sequoia]

Would you play or discard

[viral raft]

so you get extra procs to Lucky

[robust lance]

The ONLY bad hand is full house

[robust lance]

Discard obviously

[viral raft]

and 5oak 99% of the time

[wicked sequoia]

hell yeah

[robust lance]

Nah it’s better than full house to play

[fast stirrup]

sell the chad or rip the ecto?

[robust lance]

(It’s simply easier)

[ancient gyro]

I made a tier list sorta ranking hands based on planet fuel

[wicked sequoia]

Full house is fun tho

[viral raft]

still bad imo, just wait until flush 5 which is way better at scaling

[muted star]

Can’t wait for lvl20 high card

[wicked sequoia]

and it works with pants

[robust lance]

I was going to say that originally, that it’s an in between hand

[wicked sequoia]

gotta love the crispy fella

[viral raft]

that's the problem, you can simply just play 4oak which is easier to draw of you can wait until flush 5 which is stonger in every way

[viral raft]

like the scaling diff between 4oak and 5oak is just 5 chips 😭
come on man.

[robust lance]

Hey I need those 5 chips

You know why?!

[wicked sequoia]

If I"m playing 5oak it's to have more triggers

[viral raft]

why 👀

[muted star]

Wait omg it’s lowkey good

[wicked sequoia]

and I"m desperate

[robust lance]

No reason.

[viral raft]

cool

[viral raft]

yeah that's the only reason that i find to play that, you're just 1 hands and you're desperated as hell

literally no other reason

you can just play 4oak

[wicked sequoia]

Or you play it on accident

I would never tho

cough

[viral raft]

tbh that happened to me :(

[wicked sequoia]

Tarnished planet packs:(

stinky exploded planet

[robust lance]

tarnished? Like the epiphany mod for the binding of Isaac?

[wicked sequoia]

No tarnished as the elden lord

[robust lance]

Oh

[wicked sequoia]

👴 💍

[viral raft]

the thing that i HATE about 5oak is the fact that is a secret planet, so when you play it ONCE already make the pack bloat with a extra planet

so yeah less chances of getting your planet

[robust lance]

I mean by the time you play a single five of a kind you’d have a 50/50 of having observatory

[wicked sequoia]

what does this mean

[viral raft]

wdym?

[wicked sequoia]

5oak can be achieved with one death or strength

[robust lance]

You either have it or you don’t

[wicked sequoia]

Ah

true

[robust lance]

Bro my bitchass phone wouldn’t let me send it

[viral raft]

oh

fair enough

[robust lance]

I had to delete a space to say that shit

[viral raft]

😭

[worthy tinsel]

The shop too

[viral raft]

even more reason to hate 5oak i guess

[ancient gyro]

hello card - throwaway hand/alternative scoring sources
pair -
2p - planet chips and on card scoring made simple
3oak - middle road between 2p/4oak deck fixing with multiple ranks
straights - saturn glass cannon scoring
flush - aj, a1 scoring
fh - :(
4oak - inflated cards of 1 rank, mars, glass cannon build
strush - straight but with the balls to pivot
5oak - wee
flouse - suit and rank fixed gimmick
f5 - win more

[robust lance]

Greetings, card

[shell dagger]

fh has trib

[viral raft]

"hello card"

[ancient gyro]

better suitable with 2p/3oak

or rather more realistic

[shell dagger]

fh is like 4x better than both of those

[ancient gyro]

do I need to be 4x better

[slow iris]

trib isn't real

[shell dagger]

is it easier to get 4 3oaks or 1 fh by the midlategame

[viral raft]

all that i see here are just :true: tbh

[ancient gyro]

you only need one 😐

two at most

[viral raft]

4 3oaks?

[shell dagger]

1 needs a lot of planets

[ancient gyro]

which is kinda tribs whole gimmick

[viral raft]

i always see 3oak as a heavy Pair

you easily oneshot with that

[shell dagger]

if you oneshot with 3oak then you 4shot with pairs, so I’m playing pairs

[dreamy creek]

3oak is too silly

[ancient gyro]

3oak is if you deck fixed for 2 pair already

but then you just kept going

[dreamy creek]

what if you eventually went to four pair

or 5 pair

[viral raft]

true, i always keep 3oak as a second option tbh

[ancient gyro]

normally it should be the middle of the road option

[viral raft]

incase i need better scaling hand but still strong

[ancient gyro]

but im a scaredy cat

[dreamy creek]

but telescope

[ancient gyro]

streaking humbled me too much

[dreamy creek]

what's the point of balatro without a little bit of gambling

after all it is poker

always skip ante 1 blinds

[viral raft]

btw why egg looks so evil?

[muted star]

HAHAHAHAHAHAA I HIT THE JACKPOT

[dreamy creek]

exinct!

[ancient gyro]

I'd like to get out of pairs atp and with blue seal. if I have other jokers deciding that pairs will be safer, then yeah maybe

[muted star]

Which joker should I get rid of?

[thorn dew]

9th unseeded naneinf

[slow iris]

the one in the middle

forgot its name

[ancient gyro]

mad

angry

birds

[muted star]

Ok now who

Between the 2nd and 3rd jokers

I replaced hiker

[ancient gyro]

💔

[coral jacinth]

hiker is actually mega underrated for early game

[floral latch]

what does hiker even do

[dire sage]

yorick in soul in the right arcana

[fast stirrup]

Hmmm

[light brook]

like 5 chips duh

[dire sage]

+5 chips for each scoring card

[floral latch]

its literally js that

[dire sage]

holy shit the yorick is real

[floral latch]

i mean its good

for early

[light brook]

yerp

well it stacks

[fast stirrup]

i’m gonna sell the lucky cat

[light brook]

certainly not the best but not bad either

[thorn dew]

checkered deck is actually kinda fun on gold stake

[light brook]

especially with retriggers

[dire sage]

sell sock and buskin

the normal one

[muted star]

Permanently adds 5 chips to every scored card

[floral latch]

also i haven’t unlocked the heart joker yet, how should i get it

the uh

[light brook]

checkered

[dire sage]

bloodstone?

[floral latch]

bloodstone i think its called

yes

[light brook]

worst joker oat 🗣️

[muted star]

Anyway let’s go

[dire sage]

go to checkered and use lots of sun cards

[floral latch]

ik how to

[muted star]

Two pair is the goat

[floral latch]

k

im doing checkered rn

sun cards got it

wait bloodstone is 50 hearts in full deck right?

[light brook]

i think 30 correct me if i’m wrong

[floral latch]

maybe 30

idk

ill see when i get 40

30*

[light brook]

just checked it is in fact 30

[lean fulcrum]

Full house solos btw

[robust lance]

WRONNGGGGGGGGGGG

GUH

[floral latch]

thats much easier gotta say

[lean fulcrum]

Son😭🥀

[floral latch]

thats 2 sun cards bro

ez game bro

[robust lance]

Flush solos

[lean fulcrum]

No skill hand btw

[robust lance]

Yawn yawn

[light brook]

no skill don’t equal bad

[robust lance]

Exactly!

[floral latch]

i like royal flushes

dunno bout yall

[light brook]

like don’t get me wrong it definitely is no skill but it’s not bad

[floral latch]

[light brook]

personally a pairslop person

[lean fulcrum]

Anyways full house is more skill n better

But thats my opinion

[floral latch]

hmmmm

[light brook]

full house is kinda hard

[floral latch]

yes

[waxen fable]

what the fuck is more skill and better

[patent sail]

mostly not worth it

[waxen fable]

full house scaling is dogshit for how hard it is as a hand to form

[floral latch]

its a card game true

oh wait

[lean fulcrum]

Its a thing duhh

[floral latch]

thats what you mean

[light brook]

takes more skill/scores more (which i disagree with second part)

[waxen fable]

its like only ever useful early but u play flushes early even then

[floral latch]

im a big fan of flushes personally

[waxen fable]

it takes more effort and the effort doesn't pay off well at all

[light brook]

who the heck choosing earth over merc

[light brook]

bingo

[waxen fable]

please stop wasting time doing anything with this bullshit hand type guys

play 3oak if u have photochud

[floral latch]

guys we can all agree that blueprint is better than brainstorm right

i take anything else personally

[light brook]

yes it more flexible

[floral latch]

yes

[light brook]

my friend defends specifically ace high straights as the superior hand type

“more synergies”

like what bro superpos

[floral latch]

who even likes straights

[waxen fable]

the cards dont matter in straights lol

[floral latch]

more like GAYS😂😂😂😂

[patent sail]

me

[floral latch]

bro

[waxen fable]

if u play straights photochad u use jacks

no reason to include kq

[summer steppe]

hey guys

[patent sail]

i hate photo 🗣🔥

[floral latch]

hi

[waxen fable]

fax

[summer steppe]

wondering what i should do here

im going big whats the most optimal outcome?

[waxen fable]

sell the chud

[coral jacinth]

bloodstone!!!!!

[waxen fable]

nvm ante 17

[summer steppe]

bloodstone eternal

[patent sail]

endless isnt my territory i cant assist here

[waxen fable]

death is inevitable

[coral jacinth]

blueprint bloodstone

[light brook]

only difference it makes is in the first ante and then superpos, otherwise i agree

[summer steppe]

im getting e50 consistently

[waxen fable]

forgot to mention yeah

[summer steppe]

so do i get rid of chud ?

[waxen fable]

gonna need the balatro calc to check what the score looks like without chud

[light brook]

pray for dice

[waxen fable]

oh shitt

[summer steppe]

its a couple e's lower but still above e40

[waxen fable]

i just realized the dice doesn't exist

[waxen fable]

well as long as it's higher than blind requirement

should probably take it

[light brook]

pray for dice OR pray bloodstone doesn’t shit itself

[summer steppe]

well yea but what am i hoping to get out of invis

[waxen fable]

not bloodstone

it hits bloodstone u start cry and fall on ur knees

runs over death is inevitable

[light brook]

dusk or bp/bs

[waxen fable]

yes

[summer steppe]

why dusk over s&b

[waxen fable]

well obviously sock is the better hit

[light brook]

oh didn’t see sock that works as well

[summer steppe]

alr wish me luck chat

[waxen fable]

🙏🏻

[light brook]

🙏

[dire sage]

rare aesthetic: you sell séance and one round later you get a straight flush

[light brook]

folks theoretically if there was a gold stake game with a rebate and groker by round three which should i commit to

[dire sage]

wym theoretically are u ben shapiro?

[summer steppe]

guys

new dillema

[dire sage]

commit to the photochad

[summer steppe]

do i skip or nah

[dire sage]

always

[quaint stag]

new highscore :p

[dire sage]

planet pack in shop for the hand you're gonna play

don't skip

[versed sable]

the squad

[floral latch]

i got 30 hearts wheres my bloodstone

[dire sage]

pray hard enough and you'll have a 1 in 2 chance to get it

[floral latch]

wdym

[dire sage]

idk just pray lol

[floral latch]

brooo i didnt get it

[light brook]

try it again?

sometimes it bugs out

[floral latch]

nevermind

got t

it

i just had to go into a round

[quaint stag]

runs dead but was this the right joker set up

[versed sable]

yeah

[quaint stag]

i feel like i could have naneinfed if the vouchers worked with me

i got blank but no antimatter

and i didn't get retcon

i did try to look for an invis but i had no luck

[slow iris]

could do both

[quaint stag]

an extra copy joker or mime/baron would have helped

[summer steppe]

guys

invis got idol

actually i cant really undo that idk why im here

[candid niche]

John Nothingburger has hit my run

bruh

[patent sail]

free i guess

[candid niche]

yup

and theres a ride the bus in the shop

[patent sail]

roll the run win screen

[pale wolf]

beep

[candid niche]

world's greatest wheel

STOP!!!

[light brook]

first wheel hit of all time

[pale wolf]

the wheel of time

[candid niche]

Rand, get the Saidin

[tame summit]

i think it time for one cheeky balalo

[candid niche]

RIDICULOUS

[tame summit]

absolute balalo

[pale wolf]

I was wondering why that seed is so good and then I saw that it's not gold stake

perishable rtb for sure

[tame summit]

on a cold streak so I'm gonna do blue stake

[wooden sluice]

cuz thats possible lol

[candid niche]

im working on getting gold stake on every deck

[pale wolf]

😇

[grizzled robin]

Ok so im in ante 24 and the game wont allow me to reroll into a serpents its just swapping to 3 boss blinds why???

Wtf

[wooden sluice]

its ante 24

so

[pale wolf]

why don't you look at the boss blinds that are rolling through and try and reason it out

[wooden sluice]

its only the 5 finisher boss blinds

[pale wolf]

You already had to have gone through this at anti - 16

[grizzled robin]

Ok how the fuck am i supposed to know how it works

[pale wolf]

Precedent

multiples of eight have special bosses

[grizzled robin]

Sooo run's over

Oh yeah

[wooden sluice]

if youre reliant on serpent to survive, then yeah

[grizzled robin]

Then how people made it to ante 39

Without serpent

Or just bean bug

And cryptid

Ah i guess so

Answeree my own question

[wooden sluice]

more copy effects

[pale wolf]

they use cryptid or bean bug or A couple other ways I think

[wooden sluice]

cryptid and bean bug are the easiest ways though

[candid niche]

do i take the bloodstone

...nah, not enough hearts fixing

...actually, rebate isnt doing anything for me since it keeps hitting the wrong ranks

...alright bro

i'm not taking that

no face card deck fixing

[pale wolf]

what are your planet levels even

[shell dagger]

does it matter with 60x mult on a heart flush

[shell dagger]

and chips from todd

[pale wolf]

" what do you mean late game is only for good Jokers like Baron"

[lofty vault]

Truly the only good late game joker is gold joker

[summer steppe]

guys

[lofty vault]

Especially with blueprint brainstorm

[summer steppe]

what yall thinking here

deck all red sealed lucky kings about to make glass

[lofty vault]

World's most obvious bait

4 dollars is far too expensive

[summer steppe]

do i get it or no..

[lofty vault]

I mean it is gambling

And this is the gambling game

[soft talon]

What can I aim for with this run

[summer steppe]

this is not what im asking man..

do i replace bs or dusk with it and whats the best outcime?

[pale wolf]

i don't have endless advice to give

[tame summit]

id buy it but im no expert

[candid niche]

...i forgot the needle is the needle

and lost the run

[frigid orchid]

why doesn't this server have any vcs

[candid niche]

....and forgot to grab the seed

[pale wolf]

moderation difficulty

[candid niche]

lets gamble and take magician

[frigid orchid]

[tame summit]

god i fucking hate balatro

[frigid orchid]

same

fuck it we balatro

what should I go for when it comes to my economy

[candid niche]

print more money, it never fails

[pale wolf]

interest cap

[frigid orchid]

It's been a bit since Ive played

[pale wolf]

$25, can spend below if you make money midblind to get back up

[grizzled robin]

Bloodstone? Lucky cards

[pastel harbor]

It is ante 6 what do you want me to do

[cursive crater]

plant claims another soul

[atomic trout]

Second Purple Stakes🥲

This difficulty suuuuuuuuuucks

[cursive crater]

its ok you see the vision

become pairslop

[atomic trout]

Pair slop is slop

[candid niche]

world's most ass buffoon pack

[atomic trout]

High Card is high octane

[cursive crater]

better than rental punishable seance

perishable*

[candid niche]

rental bottom seance

[summer steppe]

guys

is photo worth it here for the eternal

deck fully fixed

[candid niche]

...no?

[cursive crater]

a straight first hand??this might be the run

[candid niche]

woe, 8 ball be upon ye

...i found bean. how does bean bug work?

[hollow atlas]

For plasma, would I need to get a good balance between mult and chips

[candid niche]

never mind it only works late game

[fringe nebula]

-crimson heart debuffing bean
-go back to menu
-re-enter the run

[tame summit]

\

we balling

it canio

[candid niche]

fish for hung men

[polar light]

no

[candid niche]

YEAAAAAH!!!

[candid niche]

yo, rick?!?

[pale wolf]

the opposite

plasma is doing that for you already

[hollow atlas]

What's a good method for plasma

[candid niche]

plasma wants only mult or only chips

STOP IT!!!

[pale wolf]

the rule of thumb is that it's easier to have chips in the triple digits, but easier to have xmult for quad digits

[soft talon]

I'm gonna crash out

help

is it over

[pale wolf]

so for purple+ stake plasma, you have a better time if you pivot from early game chips build to late game xmult build

[hollow atlas]

Oh

[trail pier]

wow i got a second banana

[candid niche]

say that again

[lost vault]

cavendih on cavendih

[candid niche]

(insert tf2 reference)

[ancient gyro]

short answer: 2p, chips, retriggers, money, planets

[lost vault]

bananana next to bananana

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

good

[cursive crater]

something like that

[slow iris]

stuntman good

[serene forge]

buffoon packs are as ass as the one who opens them

(both of these are great wtf are you talking about)

[ancient gyro]

@brooke:) joker

[lost vault]

bloodsyone

[serene forge]

sell bloodstone

[summer steppe]

its eternal

[lost vault]

sell it anyway

[serene forge]

I don't care

you should sell it

[cursive crater]

left or right

actually maybe half...

[serene forge]

they give the same things

[cursive crater]

wait really

[serene forge]

half kills you I think

on black deck

[serene forge]

yeah

it's a queue

[cursive crater]

ohh ok

left it is

[serene forge]

doesn't matter the order you open it

[cursive crater]

i thought it was per pack

[serene forge]

nah

[cursive crater]

i got mr steven

works

[serene forge]

like for example if you have a regular buffoon and a jumbo buffoon, and plug the seed into a searcher, it'll tell you that the first pack has joker 1 and 2, and the second pack has joker 3, 4, 5, and 6

but if you open the jumbo pack first, you will see jokers 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the pack

[empty mauve]

Abandoned deck gold stake with basically 2 jokers (I bought mystic summit last shop to just to get the gold sticker on it

[cursive crater]

so when you start the run,everything is already put in a queue and not in random order

i guess that makes sense

[tranquil steppe]

I think this is enough?

[south path]

negative chad looks so cool

negative photograph looks ugly though

[tranquil steppe]

Indeed

[south path]

its meh but i dont like th colors

[silk python]

I can't afford it 😭

[south path]

bro thats actually so sad

sstuff happened to me like that

[silk python]

first round

btw

😭

[south path]

it was like a blueprint

first round

not really needed but still sad

[tame summit]

ddid you know that when canio is X7 the game is easy

[weary idol]

Another missed achievement completed (:

[tame summit]

got diet cola gold sticker now

[south path]

[tame summit]

[serene forge]
