[cyan timber]

k

for white stake it ain't good?

[bleak blaze]

Yes, its bad there

[ancient gyro]

any poker hand works provided good enough eternals. straights/4oak just happen to be the default poker hands that work with low roll jokers

[viral raft]

i'd suggested you to just not take Madness until you get the black stake

for now is just a solo joker

[cyan timber]

again white stake

[cyan timber]

it already ruined my two pair bui_ld

[bleak blaze]

Once you understand how to use madness it's one of the most fun jokers to use

[ancient gyro]

on white stake you're more reliant on planets as they don't inhibit madness effects

or joker roulette

[viral raft]

😭 see if you can change that to another joker

madness is mostly a bad idea below black stake imo

[ancient gyro]

madness below black stake is harder but not unusable provided planet scaling

[viral raft]

true, but for new players is not something that i suggest to play

or when you start new file and you want to unlock stuff

[zinc sigil]

Is erosion a bad call here

[bleak blaze]

Yeah, most of the learning in this game is failing until shit works

But people are scared of that for some reason

[viral raft]

mmmm maybe could work

[zinc sigil]

I get 8 mult for now

Could get me till ante 4

I guess

[viral raft]

if you're desesperated for mult go for it

and try to block tarot to only go econ + hanged mans

[zinc sigil]

Its eternal whats bothering me

[zinc sigil]

Okay

[viral raft]

true but is that or you maybe lose in a few rounds

ante 2 and no mult is hard imo

[zinc sigil]

Yea

I went for it

[viral raft]

ok

good luck with that!

[bleak blaze]

usually the first thing you should be looking for in shops are things that give you mult

except on plasma ofc

[viral raft]

i usually go for econ or scalin mult

so i have a direction

[bleak blaze]

^^

Ante 1 Rocket 😩

[viral raft]

or also scaling chips

scalin stuff in early are so peak

makes later antes so easy

[bleak blaze]

Also makes obelisk easy as hell to use

[tranquil steppe]

Econ is a myth

[viral raft]

truthnuke

imo Obelisk is "kinda" overrated but with only one scaling joker is already great

and you win after ante 6

so good

[zinc sigil]

What about runner now

Kinda too late

And I commit to hanged man already no?

[ancient gyro]

welp yk me

[viral raft]

you can pivot but if you hanged useful stuff to straight (9,8,7, etc) is kinda bad

[tranquil steppe]

Might have to take that anaglyph to survive

Runner with an already depleted deck is no bueno

You need mult and xmult jokers fast

And to build up erosion more

Some more steels would be great too

[viral raft]

OMG

[bleak blaze]

With erosion and mime I'd start looking to build towards smaller hands like high cards or pairs

[zinc sigil]

I should have yea

How is bus played?

Do I go pairs non facecards

Whats the gameplan

[shell dagger]

you don’t play it with erosion

but yes

[zinc sigil]

New game

Alr lost that round

[viral raft]

i mostly do a trick with buss

[ancient gyro]

🗿

[shell dagger]

just play 5 hands every round

[zinc sigil]

I have an eternal chad

[viral raft]

mmmm not at all

[ancient gyro]

what

[viral raft]

you play random cards then in final hand you play a strong one

[shell dagger]

u should

[shell dagger]

soooo you play 5 hands a round

[viral raft]

so i scale bus idk

[zinc sigil]

Whats a strong one with no setup

[ancient gyro]

generally you wanna play one hand type for retroactive benefits

[serene forge]

what did you hang

[ancient gyro]

that isn't hc

[shell dagger]

idk what this means

[viral raft]

ahhhh i thought of 5 poker hands, not the hands itselfs

[serene forge]

if you hanged high/low cards then straights should still be playable

[zinc sigil]

That run is dead but I hanged 2s

[serene forge]

would've been a good runner scenario then

[zinc sigil]

Whats a strong hand when I play 5 hands

[shell dagger]

pair

[serene forge]

pair

[ancient gyro]

2oak

[serene forge]

"what's a strong hand" you can stop there

[zinc sigil]

How is 10x2 strong

[serene forge]

the answer will always be pair

[zinc sigil]

[serene forge]

15/1 planet scaling

spammable

only 2 cards needed

[ancient gyro]

"how is 5 mult per round strong"

[shell dagger]

just try it

[viral raft]

the point is that you spam it alot

[serene forge]

works with like 90% of jokers

jupiter scaling is 15/2 for reference

[zinc sigil]

Wait

[viral raft]

pair is better than high card because all joker works and scales 50% better in chips

[serene forge]

aka literally only 1 mult better despite being 5 card hand

[zinc sigil]

Bus is strong with pairs cause it super scales

Ahhh

[zinc sigil]

Thanks that helped

[ancient gyro]

generally most scalers work well with pairs while also giving you digging room to find value cards and scale jokers

[zinc sigil]

Thinking goes a long way

[ancient gyro]

thinking?

I stopped in 2016

[zinc sigil]

If I thought about my question you wouldnt have to spell it out

[shell dagger]

my brain hasn’t formed a thought since last week

[zinc sigil]

When was last week

[ancient gyro]

last week

[shell dagger]

1 hour 11 mins ago

[serene forge]

my brain was fried ages ago

[zinc sigil]

Oh

[terse dock]

it's bait it has to be

[tranquil steppe]

How come Sunday is the weekend when it’s the first day of the week?

[terse dock]

there is no way a man can lack critical thinking skills to this degree

[zinc sigil]

This is my hand

[shell dagger]

the front end is still an end

[zinc sigil]

This man is on route to become a top 500 lawyer

[tranquil steppe]

Ride that bus. Ride it good

[viral raft]

save the straight while you use your hands in random stuff

so you scale bus

then end the run with a strong hand to easily win

[ancient gyro]

um

[terse dock]

me when I'm attracted to busses

[ancient gyro]

i still rather do pairs

[tranquil steppe]

Then play a face card on accident and rage quit

[viral raft]

i mean for now

[ancient gyro]

5 pairs is enough to clear

3 in this case

[terse dock]

If you ragebait fast enough it didn't happen

[viral raft]

true but to make sure idk

[ancient gyro]

i do

4 pairs clear 450

[zinc sigil]

Oh yea that shit is op

LMAO

[ancient gyro]

3 clears boss blind

3 2p clears 450

[zinc sigil]

Holy fuck im just getting +5 mult every round

[shell dagger]

yes

[zinc sigil]

Whats good synergy with bus

[shell dagger]

chips

[viral raft]

chips and xmult

[shell dagger]

but bus doesn’t need synergy

[viral raft]

true

[tranquil steppe]

Paredoila

[terse dock]

fuckin anything that doesnt use faces

[shell dagger]

the synergy is the fact that you’ve got a huge amount of +mult in one joker slot

[zinc sigil]

Good scaling chips are what apart from runner

2s joker

[terse dock]

wee

[zinc sigil]

Whats it called

[terse dock]

castle can work

[viral raft]

square, castle, wee

[zinc sigil]

Right two pair

Ok ill look for them

[tranquil steppe]

Hiker

[fringe nebula]

bus synergizes with +chips and xmult

[terse dock]

thr cards dont have to score for square

[zinc sigil]

Can I be forced to play facecard with burglar

[tranquil steppe]

SpongeBob is a goated combo

[terse dock]

You can throw away your faces with your hands

They just cant score

[ancient gyro]

while still speculatively farming for telescope, nova, obbylicks, and ox value

[zinc sigil]

Oh thats right

Smart

[viral raft]

with bad luck yes but you can try to play the faces without scoring

[serene forge]

all of them except hiker pretty much

actually

[terse dock]

Banner

[ancient gyro]

odds are slightly higher but throwaway hands still work

[tranquil steppe]

Hiker is great

[serene forge]

idk if stone jonkler is good or not

[zinc sigil]

right banner is great

[serene forge]

is that really scaling

[viral raft]

yeah i know that part

[ancient gyro]

its mediocre

[viral raft]

i was jsut saying for that round

[tranquil steppe]

Stone is meh

[zinc sigil]

This wont kill bus right

[fringe nebula]

no

it wont

[zinc sigil]

Okay thanks

[viral raft]

no

[fringe nebula]

wait why the fuck do you have- oh blue deck + burger

[viral raft]

i love when my pair slop is basically a two pair build but with extra steps

[zinc sigil]

I can also high card with ace to get rid of facecards

[viral raft]

yep!

[fringe nebula]

you

you're learning

[broken abyss]

what about the game causes > e308 to be the naneinf number?

like

[compact gazelle]

something bit integer limit

[broken abyss]

why e308

[zinc sigil]

Would you buy?

[fringe nebula]

the game can't count number over e308

no

[compact gazelle]

it’s 2^32 or something minus 1

[fringe nebula]

save money

[zinc sigil]

Okay

[shell dagger]

2^1024

[broken abyss]

ahhhhh

makes sense

[ancient gyro]

it brings a tear to my eye

[viral raft]

nah, save money

[ancient gyro]

try to save to interest cap when you're not in dire need of points

[tranquil steppe]

That half joker will buy you some time if you need it

[ancient gyro]

not necessary

[tranquil steppe]

Didn’t say it was

“If you need it”

[ancient gyro]

i rather not confuse him

[zinc sigil]

This does nothing for me right?

[compact gazelle]

so we’re just being ambiguous now

[ancient gyro]

nope
it's worse with burger

[shell dagger]

those 8 dollars are just begging to be spent on those booster packs

[viral raft]

to new players this has to be really confussing tbh

[shell dagger]

not dna

[tranquil steppe]

Nope. DNA is fine for other builds but not here

[ancient gyro]

cruiser never fails to be true neutral/ambiguous

[zinc sigil]

Okay thanks

I was thinking of copying non facecards

To drown the facecards

[tranquil steppe]

Wut

[ancient gyro]

ikr

[zinc sigil]

I could chariot facecard no

[ancient gyro]

preferably not

[zinc sigil]

If im not gonna use them anyway

[compact gazelle]

nope

[viral raft]

is better than hanged them instead

imo

[compact gazelle]

rtb wants you to get rid of them

[ancient gyro]

you want to throw away your face cards

[compact gazelle]

holding face cards risks being forced to play them

[shell dagger]

might as well chariot a card you want to copy

[zinc sigil]

Okay

[shell dagger]

which aren’t faces ofc

[zinc sigil]

If you can hermit would u always hermit at max value

When do you not hermit

[ancient gyro]

steel targets with rtb id put on blue seals, high ranks, and black suits

[ancient gyro]

whenever I have vagabond or when I'm below the desired amount that I wanna profit

[compact gazelle]

in what context

[zinc sigil]

So you always hermit no matter the other tarots unless its hanged

[tranquil steppe]

Maybe if you’re trying to keep your money under $4 for vagabond? I can’t think of many circumstances where you wouldn’t use hermit

[compact gazelle]

I mean
temperance can go over 20

[shell dagger]

yea hermit here

[tranquil steppe]

Succulent beat me to it lol

[ancient gyro]

hermit crab

[zinc sigil]

Crab?

[ancient gyro]

nvm

[serene forge]

chariot won't really do much in this setup anyway

[tranquil steppe]

Needs a shell to work

[zinc sigil]

Is this needed

[tranquil steppe]

No

[compact gazelle]

no

[serene forge]

steels trigger before mult jokers

[zinc sigil]

I see

Id take the invis but I guess its bad because of chad eternal?

[tranquil steppe]

Chariot is still fine though. If that’s the best tarot card in there, take it

[serene forge]

you just don't have anything good

[zinc sigil]

And the mult doesnt copy right

[compact gazelle]

nothing amazing to copy

[zinc sigil]

I could hold it tho no?

[tranquil steppe]

Meh

[serene forge]

its a rental perishable

[compact gazelle]

no need to get another rtb or burglar

[zinc sigil]

Bad idea?

[tranquil steppe]

Invisible won’t help you too much

[zinc sigil]

Okay

[compact gazelle]

5 rounds max and drains money

and unlikely you find a spectacular copy in that window

[serene forge]

invis usually isn't even good to begin with

[compact gazelle]

and unsafe to dispose of because of eternal chad

so you’d be reduced to waiting out the perish counter

[zinc sigil]

Is this my last hand or first hand to build a foundation

[compact gazelle]

and bleeding $15

[tranquil steppe]

Kaiasann, an intelligent logical non arse? Can it be? On this discord?!?!?!

[ancient gyro]

not if you start with that rebuttal

[compact gazelle]

cruiser being serious? impossible

[compact gazelle]

no idea what that means

[ancient gyro]

your final build wouldn't really need two buses

[shell dagger]

last

[tranquil steppe]

lol I was. I don’t think I’ve seen you before

[zinc sigil]

Do I start with the 2 sevens and build a good chip foundation so I dont lose to the blind or do I play it last

[tranquil steppe]

Oh you unblocked me lol

[compact gazelle]

the last time I remember being active at the same time as you was last summer

[tranquil steppe]

I see. Well I admire your takes tbh

[ancient gyro]

kaia has a way with words

[compact gazelle]

shortcuts the best joker in the game

💖

[ancient gyro]

id put her in my blue seal list if i bothered to update the darn thing

[tranquil steppe]

I may disagree but it’s a solid chip joker for sure

[compact gazelle]

balatro players starting a run: ok so I need to find mult and chips
kaia finding a shortcut before ante 7: there we have it

[zinc sigil]

Purple seal gold 9 do I hold it or discard it

[compact gazelle]

yay
mom im not a failure after all

[serene forge]

don't you have a burger

[wintry ice]

hi chat what are we talking about this time

[frank grove]

pairslop time

[zinc sigil]

OH

[ancient gyro]

depends on money situation

[zinc sigil]

HAHSHSJAHJAGSKSHSHSHA

Burger.

[wintry ice]

i had a chicken sandwich today

[ancient gyro]

rare event of new player getting good at the game while teaching them

[wintry ice]

it was good

[serene forge]

my two favorite pair jokers

[ancient gyro]

did it actually come with the sandwich this time

[wintry ice]

yes

[compact gazelle]

your deck has resigned itself to the fate of bearing random cards with seals for the rest of the run

[wintry ice]

that chicken from the other day was so mid

[ancient gyro]

or did you get the chicken sandwich with the no sandwich special

oh

yeah who knew

[shell dagger]

chicken

does anyone here like wendys

[ancient gyro]

it's decent

[wintry ice]

17$ and the meat was tough

🥀

[shell dagger]

i had it for the first time the other week and it was ass

[compact gazelle]

bred
chimkin
bred

[zinc sigil]

Im too European for this

[wintry ice]

never had one

[shell dagger]

i was european

[ancient gyro]

i don't eat out often enough to have a valid opinion on most fast food places

[compact gazelle]

just in n out

[shell dagger]

until my bum ass country voted to leave the eu

[noble shore]

I play Balatro on my TV xd

[zinc sigil]

I just farm the fuck out of this no

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[zinc sigil]

And I sell it on the last hand to not get -3

[compact gazelle]

$30 profit

[zinc sigil]

Thoughts

[ancient gyro]

yeah sure why not

[zinc sigil]

Or take the -3 and hope for high card?

[shell dagger]

avoid losing the 3 by missing out on the 4

[compact gazelle]

might as well
who knows the next time that thing will ask for something not named straight flush

[knotty zodiac]

mm 1/3 chance that you can farm it again next round. might be worth keeping

[shell dagger]

hmm

[ancient gyro]

check buffoon pack first

[compact gazelle]

wait im stupid

[zinc sigil]

Me?

[compact gazelle]

what rt said

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[compact gazelle]

although sell before next maybe? depending on the hit

[zinc sigil]

Pretty ass no

[shell dagger]

stencil tbh

[zinc sigil]

Okay

[shell dagger]

do you have a blue seal

[compact gazelle]

stencil sells for $4 so no loss even if the pack is useless

[ancient gyro]

stencil sells for the most but I'll keep it around

[zinc sigil]

Just ine purple

[compact gazelle]

and it’s 2x

[ancient gyro]

on finisher blind you can just sell burger and work with an x3

[zinc sigil]

But I cant spam pairs then cause I score too much no for the to do list

[compact gazelle]

move it to the left if needed

[ancient gyro]

provided you don't find anything else useful

[compact gazelle]

or just sell it yknow

[cosmic sun]

Ante 4 that Stencil will start helping

[zinc sigil]

Okay okay

[cosmic sun]

Until you find better xmult

[zinc sigil]

Wait

Im fucked

HAHAHAHA

[compact gazelle]

cough
blackboard
cough

[ancient gyro]

o

[languid pecan]

sell to do list and burglar for x3 mult

[compact gazelle]

oh god lmfao
do you feel lucky

[zinc sigil]

Erm

[cosmic sun]

what are the chances the right side is all faces

smh

[zinc sigil]

Yea but I dont win in one hand do I

[cosmic sun]

just start selecting

If you survive the first hand

[languid pecan]

high card could be enough if you just keep selecting rightmost card maybe

[cosmic sun]

You will see the next draws 🙀

[compact gazelle]

save scum called
it says hello

[zinc sigil]

Oh

Right

I have 9 facecards in the deck what are the chances

[fiery nymph]

trust far left is an ace

[ancient gyro]

pick 2 rightmost cards and see what other cards are drawn. ranks will determine what other ranks are adjacent to it

[zinc sigil]

Kappa

Bro

I should sold to do list

[ancient gyro]

lmao

[knotty zodiac]

did bus break?

[languid pecan]

did you lose the bus?

[zinc sigil]

No

[languid pecan]

youre fine then

[zinc sigil]

Wait

Your right

Its max 4 jaxks

[knotty zodiac]

check suits to the right of J

[zinc sigil]

Im good

[knotty zodiac]

all the spades are safe

[zinc sigil]

No it cant be a facecard anyway

[knotty zodiac]

could be Jc Jd

[zinc sigil]

4 jacks max and if I dont pick any of the 3 next to the jack im good

No

[ancient gyro]

the 2 most right cards are guaranteed to not be face cards assuming completely vanilla deck

[zinc sigil]

Why 2 not 1

Theres 3 spots next to the jack could be 4 jacks no

[compact gazelle]

JH

[ancient gyro]

ranks are sorted by suit order

[knotty zodiac]

the Js will be on the left of Jh

[zinc sigil]

Whats the sort?

[compact gazelle]

so faces to right can only be JD and JC

[knotty zodiac]

Spades Hearts Clubs Diamonds

[ancient gyro]

jack of spades
hearts
clubs
diamonds

[compact gazelle]

SHCD? I think

[zinc sigil]

Ohhh

Wait you guys are so smart

[knotty zodiac]

if you forget it's the same order as in your deck preview top to bottom

[zinc sigil]

Wowie

[ancient gyro]

rank still sorts by suit for equal ranks and vice versa

[compact gazelle]

don’t wrap me up in all this :3

[zinc sigil]

oh uu

[compact gazelle]

I can be rather
not smart
at times :>

[ancient gyro]

a thousandish hours will do this to us 😪

[knotty zodiac]

probably a few hours spent on just this boss actually

[zinc sigil]

Erm I cant get any pair levels

[cosmic sun]

Jack and King revealed, for Bus you should know what to do with them

[ancient gyro]

weird

[knotty zodiac]

well you need a pair to handdiscard

[compact gazelle]

the game wants you to have a backup hand

[knotty zodiac]

or ace

[languid pecan]

you had 7 high card levels

you were fine the entire tine lmao

[ancient gyro]

that wasn't the problem

[knotty zodiac]

they dont want to reset bus

[zinc sigil]

Excuse you it was 6

[languid pecan]

the very rightmost card

[cosmic sun]

that is an annoying obelisk in the making

[knotty zodiac]

then if bus survives they want to play pairs for $

[cosmic sun]

Ah yes a ton of cards before a revealed jack

[ancient gyro]

they went fish into what was possibly 5 face cards with burger bus

[zinc sigil]

Yea I had to sell to do list

[zinc sigil]

He/him

[cosmic sun]

What are the chances they drew 4 more jacks

🦅

[zinc sigil]

Idk im unlucky like that

[ancient gyro]

they/she*

o

[zinc sigil]

Whatever u prefer

Bus/rider works too

[ancient gyro]

i prefer succulentsupplecheeks

[knotty zodiac]

the face cards are the bus/riders 😮

[frank grove]

well that was easy 😭

[compact gazelle]

that’s hard to type uwa

[zinc sigil]

Sucks for u

Its my name now

[ancient gyro]

make sure to develop a habit of checking boss blind as soon as you reach the next ante

[compact gazelle]

damn :3

[zinc sigil]

Yea will do

[ancient gyro]

ok well this isn't what i

[zinc sigil]

But there arent any that could kill me rigjht

[ancient gyro]

um

eye can kill you

[zinc sigil]

Maybe the boss blind that makes me pick a card right

[compact gazelle]

theres a mod that shows em in shop which might help?

[compact gazelle]

bell is probably the least of your worries

[ancient gyro]

idk if they're on mobile

[zinc sigil]

Succulentsupplecheeks*

[knotty zodiac]

easy 64x from the stars 🪐

[ancient gyro]

bell on forced hc draw can suck

[ancient gyro]

i refuse 🥀

[zinc sigil]

You made the bed you gon lay there

[compact gazelle]

oh true
until fixed out of deck

[zinc sigil]

Question

[ancient gyro]

answer

[zinc sigil]

I thought eye is an early ante boss blind

[knotty zodiac]

hi guys

[frank grove]

huh

[ancient gyro]

it can show up as early as ante 3

[zinc sigil]

Bro

[compact gazelle]

hi mamo

[zinc sigil]

Shut up

[compact gazelle]

ok succulentsupplecheeks

[frank grove]

wait.... midas with bp mime... hmmm 🤔

[ancient gyro]

cool you still have enough to afford all 3 rentals

[compact gazelle]

how to get away with taking double rentals first round

[ancient gyro]

triple even

[knotty zodiac]

lolol midas blueprint mime burglar, 3 rentals, nbd

[fiery nymph]

the big ante one and bro talm bout some blueprint mime

[knotty zodiac]

the midas will print

[zinc sigil]

How much do I want

[ancient gyro]

as much as you can

[zinc sigil]

Okay

[fringe nebula]

as big as possible

[compact gazelle]

all of it

[zinc sigil]

So I never pivot

[frank grove]

look at the msg i was replying to ...

[ancient gyro]

generally you don't really stop scaling bus

[fiery nymph]

:(

[knotty zodiac]

yeah just keep sandbagging the hands

[zinc sigil]

Okay

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 5

[ancient gyro]

failed the money test

[cosmic sun]

It's bus with stencil, you might just sandbag naturally at some point until you run into more xmult

[knotty zodiac]

TIL ||misprint|| is ||RNG: no||

[zinc sigil]

I just used strength on 2 kings I feel so smart 😭

[fringe nebula]

If you can comfortably beat crimson heart and vessel, I think you can just

stop scaling

[hybrid tendon]

indeed

[zinc sigil]

How much is that with blue deck 400k?

[ancient gyro]

crimson will be hit or miss given that they'll use stencil

[ancient gyro]

1.2m

for vv

[zinc sigil]

My high card is 12k

Am I fried

[ancient gyro]

you haven't used your stencil yet so

[zinc sigil]

Who cursed me

Someone said it earlier

[ancient gyro]

could also have som-

[zinc sigil]

I did on the last hand

[ancient gyro]

oh

[zinc sigil]

I could play two pair

And high card worst case

Thoughts

[ancient gyro]

if you can sandbag more pairs

[shell dagger]

Yeah

[zinc sigil]

I buy it play pairs one entire blind

I‘ll try

[ancient gyro]

problem is with hc and 2p, you have less outs to throw away face cards

[zinc sigil]

Wait my fucking stencil is useless now

[knotty zodiac]

ya the stencil is just money now

but the obelisk will outpace it quickly

[ancient gyro]

can throw away burger whenever youre winning without all of your hands

[zinc sigil]

So I need to play high card to survive the boss

Im cooked

[knotty zodiac]

you need to sandbag more pairs probably

[zinc sigil]

I could sell burger

[ancient gyro]

stencil is still effectively an x2 on top of obbylicks x mult

[zinc sigil]

Now

I dont score shit with pairs

[ancient gyro]

probably can start scaling obbylicks now

[zinc sigil]

Do I get -3 hands selling burger

[knotty zodiac]

that flush looks promising

[ancient gyro]

no

[zinc sigil]

Could flush ur right

[ancient gyro]

make sure to move stencil rightmost if needed for score

[zinc sigil]

Well its 1x ..

[knotty zodiac]

ya whenever you see a safe 5-card hand, itll save some hc/2p hand count

[shell dagger]

not if you sell burgy

[zinc sigil]

So I do sell it

[vale shale]

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What deck we thinking bout.

[ancient gyro]

if you're worried about losing to this boss blind

[shell dagger]

burglar is gonna make it harder to scale obelisk

[zinc sigil]

Blue

[ancient gyro]

black

[vale shale]

Blue

[ancient gyro]

always picking favorites

[zinc sigil]

Id buy this spectral would you?

[fringe nebula]

I would

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[zinc sigil]

Im looking for trance right

[knotty zodiac]

immo

[zinc sigil]

Holy fuck

On the queen is dumb?

[ancient gyro]

trance, immo, grim, medium, talisman

[knotty zodiac]

manifested

[ancient gyro]

trance on 9

[zinc sigil]

Okay

Wait now that I can discard

Wait I still wanna sandbag pairs

Right

To make it easier

[ancient gyro]

yeah you don't have to worry about crashing bus or obbylicks

[ancient gyro]

depends what your pairs and your second most played poker hand is at

[zinc sigil]

This doesnt matter right

I‘ll scale it later

[ancient gyro]

there is no later when you have 3 antes left

[ancient gyro]

nah just go with higher poker hands

[zinc sigil]

Okay

[ancient gyro]

and save discards for faces or higher poker hand types

[zinc sigil]

This feels wrong

But its forced right

[ancient gyro]

sadge

yeah

[compact gazelle]

move lucky to the left

[ancient gyro]

obbylicks isn't really dependent on planets generally

[zinc sigil]

Omg the luck is insane

[ancient gyro]

oh

[knotty zodiac]

yep free hands

nice

[compact gazelle]

profit

[frank grove]

thats funny...

[ancient gyro]

wait you're scoring too fast

[ancient gyro]

move bus far right until the last hand

[bronze pollen]

On ghost deck you can get two hanging chads and polychrome them

[zinc sigil]

BUT IM SCARED

[ancient gyro]

or last 2 if you're paranoid

[knotty zodiac]

hm better to burn hc quota to scale bus rather than finishing?

[ancient gyro]

well pay attention to your scoring just in case

[compact gazelle]

do you have a semblance of an idea what your high card scores

[zinc sigil]

Idk anymore

[ancient gyro]

it's complicated

[zinc sigil]

40k?

[ancient gyro]

they said 17k before either of the x mults activated

it's gonna clear

[compact gazelle]

so they should be totally fine

[zinc sigil]

Yea I was thinking of keeping high card as a finisher

I have 9 high cards

[ancient gyro]

they should pay more attention to how much they score on the low and high end of the graph though

our advice can only go so far with limited information

[compact gazelle]

side note in arcanas you can also add hiero and tower to the priority list

[knotty zodiac]

the numbers are going to shift really quickly since obby groing fast rn

[zinc sigil]

Hero?

[compact gazelle]

hierophant

[zinc sigil]

Oh the coins one

[ancient gyro]

el chip

[compact gazelle]

bonus cards

[ancient gyro]

close enough

[zinc sigil]

I was thinking ice cream but it fucks stencil

[compact gazelle]

obelisk wants chips sources and you lack a joker for em

[zinc sigil]

And I wanna scale obelisk

[compact gazelle]

here I would probably take hallucination if stencil scoring isn’t needed

[knotty zodiac]

the ice cream is going to melt quickly as we scale

[ancient gyro]

hallucination, open arcana, sell stencil

[compact gazelle]

it sounds like your scoring is totally fine for now

[zinc sigil]

Okay

Hermit

[ancient gyro]

they're technically overscoring with throwaway hands

sell stencil

[compact gazelle]

sell stencil then use

[dark lava]

JokerPokerBalala

[zinc sigil]

Oh yea

Wait u guys are locked in

[ancient gyro]

and then open standard pack

[zinc sigil]

Now I can buy the voucher aswell no

40 dolla

[compact gazelle]

hallucinations gonna help ideally

[compact gazelle]

planet tycoons not good

[ancient gyro]

it's pretty rare to have someone understand our gs thought process

[knotty zodiac]

voucher is bad

[zinc sigil]

Im using that head of mine sometimes

[ancient gyro]

I have that voucher as the worst voucher in the game

[knotty zodiac]

you want to see more jokers

[zinc sigil]

Okay

[knotty zodiac]

not planets

[ancient gyro]

obelisk prefers not to rely on planet scoring

[zinc sigil]

Take the 5 tower a facecard

[ancient gyro]

while possible, not preferred

[knotty zodiac]

skip i think

[ancient gyro]

good tower hit, take the 9

[compact gazelle]

none of this does too much but speculatively the gold seal with chad could be good

[zinc sigil]

Not the 5 for scoring?

Okay

[compact gazelle]

the $9 on a hand is worth more

[ancient gyro]

steel scores after base planet mult, before flat mult joker scoring

[compact gazelle]

planets are low so steel hardly does anything

[zinc sigil]

And then I roll till 25 dolla

[ancient gyro]

if you need to

[zinc sigil]

I keep forgetting

[ancient gyro]

but yeah ig

[compact gazelle]

rolling down isn’t needed but if you wanna

[zinc sigil]

I dont need to but its what you do no

[compact gazelle]

I’d save a bit extra for hallucination packs

[ancient gyro]

depends on boss blind

yeah

[zinc sigil]

Didnt check

[ancient gyro]

i

[zinc sigil]

The pillar

[compact gazelle]

since there’s no guaranteed econ in the lineup

[zinc sigil]

😔

Everything is going against me

[compact gazelle]

shouldn’t kill you

[zinc sigil]

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[ancient gyro]

pillar doesn't really care about this build

[zinc sigil]

Wait it could be good

I score less

Scale more

[ancient gyro]

yeah

that's one way to think of it

[compact gazelle]

was worried for a sec that you had hit on the “insight” of playing face cards to get them debuffed
:3

[knotty zodiac]

300IQ

[zinc sigil]

So planet cards are not that important so I can make use of my blue seal 9 aswell

[compact gazelle]

but yea auto restraints on your build is nice

[zinc sigil]

[compact gazelle]

basically planets for whatever is fine

[ancient gyro]

with obelisk I try to play highest ranking poker hands more frequently before I need to resort to my second most played poker hand if able

[zinc sigil]

I wanna use my blue seal 9 on a full house

[serene forge]

succulent

[compact gazelle]

uhh
good luck with that

[zinc sigil]

So I can scale obelisk

No

[serene forge]

planet cards are scaling

what

[serene forge]

3oak

[zinc sigil]

Could also play 3

Yea

[serene forge]

full hourse sucks

[ancient gyro]

fork you're like the stupidest player that's in the chat rn to help this he/him

[zinc sigil]

This he/him

[serene forge]

shut the fuck up idiot

[ancient gyro]

🗣️

[zinc sigil]

So I dont full house? I liked the idea

[serene forge]

i mean you could

[compact gazelle]

this he/him is actually open to learning and improving

[knotty zodiac]

it's hard to draw full houses

[compact gazelle]

love to see it

[ancient gyro]

preferably an easier to find hand that isn't your two most played

[serene forge]

but there is a 3oak right there

just saying

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[zinc sigil]

Especially with all that obelisk doesnt need planet cards talk

[knotty zodiac]

if anything the 3oak is not a bad target

[serene forge]

what are your hand counts looking like

[zinc sigil]

But I wanna open up to another 2 pair so I wanna get rid of cards was the thought

[ancient gyro]

3oak is fh scaling -5 chips

[compact gazelle]

totally fine I think
they had burglar half the run

[serene forge]

oh wow

[knotty zodiac]

well it's 3oak vs flush/straight

[ancient gyro]

well i said its not preferred, it doesn't mean obelisk doesn't still benefit from it

[knotty zodiac]

none of them are particularly easy to draw

[serene forge]

yeah you can just play anything but hc or pair here and be fine

well

even hc

you have some of those left

[zinc sigil]

3oak is 14k

[serene forge]

and you got levels in that

[granite yew]

how to find seeds? Like specfic seeds with specfic things?

[zinc sigil]

Its my fall back cushion

[serene forge]

there's a flush there that you could consider playing

[zinc sigil]

Or what is it called

[serene forge]

or to discard for more clubs

[zinc sigil]

3oak 9s

[ancient gyro]

yeah whatever you can pull

[compact gazelle]

look 👍

🗣️

[severe arch]

Collect my jimbos

[compact gazelle]

6 or 7 year olds going crazy seeing this

[zinc sigil]

This wins right

[serene forge]

probably

[ancient gyro]

prob

[zinc sigil]

Nun else I can do

[knotty zodiac]

hm i wouldve tried to land the stone on the gold seal

[ancient gyro]

or a face card

[knotty zodiac]

as played yeah only hc available rn. maybe try to set up a 3oak or a flush

[zinc sigil]

It was a facecard

[ancient gyro]

ic

[knotty zodiac]

valid

[ancient gyro]

peak

[knotty zodiac]

buy everything

[ancient gyro]

open both packs first

[zinc sigil]

✋🏼🙂🤚🏼

Its 67

[light brook]

oh i get it

[zinc sigil]

The 6 is insane no

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[serene forge]

"how much damage does the heart boss from slay the spire deal to the player on turn 2 assuming they are inflicted with vulnerable?"

[tranquil steppe]

I’m Kevin

[ancient gyro]

it's decent with enough planet levels

[zinc sigil]

67?

Yo I dont wanna play anymore

[knotty zodiac]

hm wheel for foil probably better than saving fool for tower..?

[tranquil steppe]

Fr fr ong straight bussin no cap

[light brook]

“what two whole numbers that are closest together equal 13 when added together?”

[zinc sigil]

If I lose this run im prob never playing ts again

[compact gazelle]

6.5 and 6.5 🗣️ 🔥

[ancient gyro]

oh

[zinc sigil]

Too late ✋🏼😭🤚🏼

[light brook]

whole numbers twin…

[knotty zodiac]

did you wheel?

[zinc sigil]

Yea

[compact gazelle]

6.5 and 6.5

[zinc sigil]

Its not too late

Lmao

Im stuoid

[compact gazelle]

:3

[zinc sigil]

Can just hold the tower

[light brook]

true i never thought of that

[ancient gyro]

huh

[zinc sigil]

Is this stupid tho

[knotty zodiac]

oh you have a tower

[zinc sigil]

Could run it no

[knotty zodiac]

nice

[tranquil steppe]

6.5 isn’t a whole number

[ancient gyro]

not really, no real downside

[zinc sigil]

Maybe I get facecards

[compact gazelle]

surprised pikachu

[zinc sigil]

1/4 chance

[knotty zodiac]

cert looks good. it could add a few face cards but youd have to be unlucky to get a lot

3/13

[zinc sigil]

Wait

[ancient gyro]

apart from like slightly higher difficulty to find higher ranking poker hands

[zinc sigil]

Aces

[ancient gyro]

wait you didn't take runner 💔

[zinc sigil]

Wait I didnt

LOO

[ancient gyro]

oh well

[zinc sigil]

Guess what

[knotty zodiac]

damn lol

3 first

chad

[ancient gyro]

sagde

[zinc sigil]

And I didnt move the 3

I realised after

[viral raft]

DIE!!!!! YOU STUPID JONKLER!!!

[knotty zodiac]

lol does it default to saying 0x1.5?

[zinc sigil]

What do I do

Discard the debuffs and king?

[knotty zodiac]

high card. try to draw the straight if you have enough jacks and 6s left

[viral raft]

yes because is 0 (cero cards selected) and X1.5 (xmult)

[zinc sigil]

Jacks

[serene forge]

0 x 1.5

that's just lore accurate

[ancient gyro]

what's remaining in your deck

[knotty zodiac]

...

[viral raft]

true

[knotty zodiac]

my brain is running

i think

[viral raft]

you're still on that run???

damn

[zinc sigil]

Can u be nice..

Some people just arent that bright..

[viral raft]

i'm not being mean sorry i'm just impressive

[knotty zodiac]

he/him learning

[zinc sigil]

Succulentsupplecheeks*

[ancient gyro]

discard to find the 10 high straight

[knotty zodiac]

hell im learning...

[viral raft]

which is your most played hand?

[zinc sigil]

Keep the tower?

[viral raft]

imo no

[ancient gyro]

[ancient gyro]

discard

[lunar zealot]

Hello virgins

[light brook]

republicans during june:

[viral raft]

[zinc sigil]

And I hang the queen jack

[viral raft]

😭

[zinc sigil]

Fuck

[light brook]

yall both named succulentsupplecheeks 😭

[ancient gyro]

why'd you throw away a 10

oh well play the 9 and call it

[zinc sigil]

How would I have done that

[viral raft]

mmmm i think now the only thing you can do is hanged the queen and jacks and then play 9?

[knotty zodiac]

you had a 10d and now you dont

idk how

[zinc sigil]

I played the 10 high straight

[knotty zodiac]

oic

[ancient gyro]

10 was here for the straight and now it went fo-

oh

[zinc sigil]

It wasnt enough

[ancient gyro]

k that's good

[knotty zodiac]

?!

oh

[zinc sigil]

So I play the 9 cause fuck it

Right

[ancient gyro]

yeah just finish with hc if youre able

[knotty zodiac]

i thought you meant the 9 wasnt enough

[viral raft]

yeah

[ancient gyro]

hang first

[zinc sigil]

Hc is 40k

[viral raft]

hang Q and J

[zinc sigil]

I did

[ancient gyro]

ight

[viral raft]

nice you win

[zinc sigil]

This doesnt win ante 8

Does it

Too late?

[ancient gyro]

emergency stone in case of

well

[viral raft]

yep

[knotty zodiac]

i would still take i think

[viral raft]

try to search for Xmults imo and chip resources

[ancient gyro]

by voucher and both packs first

[knotty zodiac]

could be 75 chips

[zinc sigil]

Could still go icecream

[ancient gyro]

yummers

[viral raft]

that's cool

[ancient gyro]

ok we can do ice cream

[zinc sigil]

Certificate out?

[ancient gyro]

cert can die

yeah

it's interfering with your higher poker hand draws

[zinc sigil]

35 bucks left

Rr?

[ancient gyro]

boss blind

[knotty zodiac]

next

[zinc sigil]

Oh right

[ancient gyro]

that's fine ig

[zinc sigil]

I got a death and a magician with hallucination proc into emperor

[ancient gyro]

👅

[zinc sigil]

Just next cause I dont have any spots to fill anyway right

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[knotty zodiac]

hook is semi helpful if you still have face left but ya not likely to play 5 card hands

[zinc sigil]

This wins right

I need to move ice cream

[ancient gyro]

well idk how close they are to being tied for most hands

[zinc sigil]

Do I magician the ace

[ancient gyro]

rtb*

[zinc sigil]

Or do I death the stone

[ancient gyro]

death 9s

or whatever rank you have the most of

lucky card on aces

[zinc sigil]

Wait

[ancient gyro]

bus rightmost

[zinc sigil]

Move rtb and play most possible hands

Isnt that risky

I dont wanna play high cards unless forced no

[ancient gyro]

depends how close your two most played hands are

[zinc sigil]

36-29

7 hc left

6 rounds left

[ancient gyro]

finish off with a hc if you can't form any other higher rank poker hand

[zinc sigil]

How much did u say vv was

4 million

[ancient gyro]

hook may force you with one

1.2m

[zinc sigil]

Oh

Thats still bad

Would u still take hc

[ancient gyro]

depends on deck composition

[zinc sigil]

The other 2 are lvl 2

[ancient gyro]

venus or pluto

[zinc sigil]

Need to use my death on the 7 still

[viral raft]

Maybe venus?

[ancient gyro]

venus

[viral raft]

he doesn't have many hands to play hc

so he needs to pivot venus in a moment

idk

[ancient gyro]

yeah I'm hoping that he's not gonna run into a situation where a hc doesn't one shot

or finish

[zinc sigil]

Sell tower fool another venus?

[viral raft]

yeah in obelisk build is really painful

[ancient gyro]

nah

[zinc sigil]

Well it hasnt oneshot once this round

[ancient gyro]

worded it wrong

[zinc sigil]

Game*

[viral raft]

nah hang the ranks with less cards imo

[zinc sigil]

Oh smart

[viral raft]

so you can easily draw those venus

[ancient gyro]

tower on the least inflated ranks, use death, have a pocket death

with fool

[zinc sigil]

Hmm

I see

So I tower a 4

Death a 7

Then fool

Or the 9

[viral raft]

yeah that could be useful

[ancient gyro]

preferably the 9

[zinc sigil]

But I like the 7 cause I have a red seal 7 in the deck

[ancient gyro]

those can still be played with 2 pairs

[zinc sigil]

Ok

Rolling here is just stupid no

I roll to be disappointed

[fringe nebula]

I wouldn't roll

[viral raft]

one more roll imo

[ancient gyro]

go next

[viral raft]

that hallucionation is less than 3 rounds right?

[ancient gyro]

not a priority atm

[zinc sigil]

Death the 4 into an ace play two pair and get rid of the facecard

Good idea no

[viral raft]

he could search for a chip/xmult when that hallucionation just dies

[ancient gyro]

id just discard non 3s first

he can do that later

[zinc sigil]

So u go 3oak

?

[viral raft]

yep i'm just saying for the future

[ancient gyro]

any purchase that round would put him under interest cap

[ancient gyro]

or 2 pair
