FINALLY BEAT PURPLE STAKE ZODIAC DECK

vocal rose
#

time for orange and gold next

flat tiger
#

CRASH OUT $16

#

I too got saved by obelisk a few times, I wish i can make use of it in more runs

zinc sigil
flat tiger
#

an obelisk of LIGHT

zinc sigil
#

U couldve just left it at words no need to visualize

flat tiger
#

the coolest thing 30 years ago

zinc sigil
#

Whats the omelette world record

#

I just scored 7 million

#

I might be the goat

woven spire
#

i’m sorry for your loss 😞

#

never coming back as a normal human being

solid island
median grove
#

can rtb be a straight joker?

flat tiger
#

on abandanded deck sure

median grove
#

on normalZ?

humble gulch
solid island
frank grove
#

usually with rtb and straights it just to scale a runner

humble gulch
#

I would hate playing straights with bus

frank grove
#

i wouldnt do rtb and straights by default unless i have a good reason to go for straights and if i do rtb probably isnt that big of a boost anyway

unreal topaz
flat tiger
#

you need throw away hands to get rid of the face card to get your straight, but then using a pair of 8 or 9 for example hurnts your ability to get a straight

frank grove
#

like if i got the order i would rather keep the opportunity for photo later down the line than remove my faces for straight draws

unreal topaz
#

stuff like juggler, shortcut, drunkard, etc

#

bc the planet cards are so powerful

#

so the way you lose is usually not for lack of points per straight

#

but by not drawing it

frank grove
#

yeah

#

being able to draw straights is usually the way people lose going for them

#

but yeah if i had an incentive to go for straights like shortcut idk if i would keep bus

unreal topaz
#

also ride the bus will give you points no matter what hand you play

#

so like

#

do whatever ig (spammable hands are better but like whatever)

flat tiger
#

getting the order in the first pack was the biggest bait I took for a while

frank grove
#

i still take early orders its pretty good for the first two antes still which is where money is tight so

Green joker is just op for gold stake?

Ive been lucky with skips

woof

humble gulch

yeah holo skips are not worth it

spark kernel
#

Skips are overhated there i said it

frank grove
#

you just lost

hoary moon

#

i still take foil or holo skip in ante 1 small blind, not poly tough

humble gulch

8ball

hoary moon
#

i dont understand 8ball hate

flat tiger
#

i hate 8 ball, not only do I need to draw 8s and play it, i also need to roll the 1 in 4?

spark kernel
hoary moon
#

i never will

hoary moon
flat tiger
#

at least i can spam with spaceman

humble gulch
frank grove
#

i only had oops for the final one round with 8 ball here btw

hoary moon
#

8ball is W

spark kernel
#

Im talking about base 8 ball

frank grove
#

i had one perishable 8 ball this run

#

and only 1 round with oops with it lmao

spark kernel
#

Wheel of fortune hits more than 8 ball

flat tiger
#

good luck getting one tarot with a perishable 8 ball in anyte 1

hoary moon
#

and if it hits it hits your food jokers or perishable

flat tiger
spark kernel
frank grove
#

you can play multiple 8s

hoary moon
flat tiger
#

instead of draw 4 8s then get 1 tarot

knotty zodiac
#

vagabond is a rare...

frank grove
#

lmao

shell dagger
#

8ball chad

frank grove
#

comparing rare joker to common joker lmao

flat tiger
#

8 ball suck balls without all 6 or fixing for 8s

frank grove
#

yeah you just fix for 8s

#

its really not that big of a deal in gs to play 8s

humble gulch
#

Free win or instant death

flat tiger
#

good luck even drawing 8s in ante 1 let alone actualyl benifiting with 8 ball

frank grove
#

you're mostly not worried about on scoring effects like photo anyway so why does it matter that 8 ball is slightly worse by default than a rare joker 😭 just play more 8s

shell dagger
humble gulch
#

I did it again

flat tiger
#

good draw, you can sell it when you need to

eager prawn
#

Hard choice

flat tiger
#

oh no, anyways

echo sphinx
knotty zodiac
humble gulch
patent sail

also my top 1 on the stats 🐎πŸ”₯

digital pewter
#

like +mult and xmult is obviously close but like. is +mult close to chips? is xmult close to chips too?

#

oh and +mult/chips is obviously close to +mult and chips of course

patent sail
#

is +mult or +chips close to +mult AND +chips (exactly 2 jokers)?

digital pewter
#

funny how there's like two jokers total with that ability

hoary moon
#

my favs are ancient joker, ricky, hologram, blue joker and midas mask

digital pewter
digital pewter

man i love how +mult being close and RNG being YES literally gave yesterdays joker away in 1 try

also balatrodle today got me bad lmao

i had like three near misses

Took a risky Rare skip with 3 double tags, hoping one of the Rares would be Baron

all cause of the joker cost

knotty zodiac
digital pewter
humble gulch
flat tiger
digital pewter
#

on their own they're bad

errant brook
#

I'm in ante 13 and basically need Baron to not die

digital pewter
#

on high stakes they're awful

patent sail
errant brook
#

I barely beat the last hand

humble gulch
ashen mural
digital pewter
errant brook
#

Not enough as I need my jokers to copy PhotoChad

#

So I'm getting SOME money but not enough because I don't have Baron

digital pewter
errant brook
#

now I have to debate if I take the damn perishable just to farm money...it probably is the play

knotty zodiac
#

why would you not take the perishable?

digital pewter
#

but yeah, two guesses where the only thing left was the cost, then i hit an all green and had to guess again for the real joker cause everything else lined up

patent sail
#

yeah i had that too

digital pewter
#

hint was easy though

knotty zodiac
#

balatrodle should reward you with a seed where you can get the featured joker in ante 1

patent sail
#

ante 1 bloodstone yesterday πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

#

exactly what everyone wants

digital pewter
patent sail
#

no i meant like

flat tiger
#

ploy blueprint first pack is best I have gotton

patent sail
#

yesterdays joker was bloodstone

digital pewter
#

oh was yesterday's bloodstone??

#

damn

#

i thought it was still ancient joker

patent sail
#

i wouldnt wanna ante 1 bloodstone πŸ’”πŸ’”πŸ’”

knotty zodiac
#

it's optional.. just sometimes ill fire up balatrodle and think "i want to play a game with this one"

patent sail

digital pewter
#

oof

errant brook
#

There were no voucher skips

#

Taking that rare skip actually helped me get money

#

I could have sworn I had seen The Plant already

digital pewter
#

i mean, i guess those double tags for the rare joker tag weren't a waste lol

knotty zodiac
#

nvm im bad at remembering tags

patent sail
fringe nebula

ditching runner is not the play there

echo sphinx

why would runner be ditched

knotty zodiac

This was not my ante 14 lol I must have dialed back and then had a...fake shop? Is that how that works?

echo sphinx
#

xmult players when their huge mult is multiplied by 5

errant brook
#

I am so confused because those were 100% not the tags for ante 14

errant brook
#

That's what I mean

#

Boss Tag AND Luchador

#

But the 2nd tag was double tag

fringe nebula

I feel like this is more than good enough but

patent sail
echo sphinx

2pair and straight are hardest ones tbh

#

not zany and wily levels of funny

#

zany and wily even got the funniest sounding names

fringe nebula
flat tiger
#

when they are negative i cant even tell the difference on so many of them

knotty zodiac
#

just had a run yesterday. it did not end well

patent sail
#

also i noticed how +mult page 1 jonklers got jimbo shaped collar thingy, and +chip ones look like Chaos

knotty zodiac
#

it hit pluto more than uranus

flat tiger
fringe nebula

facing the club at ante 2 is huge here
I can use seeing double without worry

the chips ones look more like steven to me

knotty zodiac
patent sail
flat tiger
frank grove
#

it doesnt work on the tooth

fringe nebula

oh nvm

#

I said it myself

patent sail
flat tiger
#

when you are stacking green joker and the hook says no mult this round

frank grove
#

i cant wait for the matador rework so you dont have to memorise or find out what bosses it works on 😭

knotty zodiac
#

bizarre that it doesnt work on the tooth

patent sail
#

ikr

#

anything literally truggers the boss

frank grove
#

its one of the more weirder ones matador doesnt work on

eager prawn
#

High priestess just gives me sh*t

patent sail
#

i gues its so you dont lose 5 gain 8

patent sail
#

also whats really funny to me is OX triggers matador

frank grove
#

yeah

#

0 to 8

patent sail
#

yes i would love to lose all my money for 8 bucks

knotty zodiac
#

think of it as seed money for ante 8

flat tiger

#

taking credit card before the ox and getting 8 dollars out of the ox with matador πŸ”₯

knotty zodiac

patent sail
knotty zodiac

i had a seed where both first WRAITHS drop invisible joker

#

endless button is a psyop by Big Jimbo to sell you more barons, showmen and idols

#

its okayyyy

knotty zodiac
patent sail
#

my winrate is one in whenever

flat tiger
#

i stop caring about win rate and even just reset if first shop is total shit

patent sail
#

i reset if first ante is shit

#

first shop being bad doesnt mean its totally over

flat tiger
#

well yeah, mroe like first ante instead of exactly first shop

patent sail
flat tiger
#

unless I tilt, then I reset if I cant one shot first blind too

#

if not i may check first ante

#

then its exactly "why bother"

fringe nebula
#

I messed up and forgot to use the moon

flat tiger
fringe nebula
#

so seeing double didn't proc

knotty zodiac
patent sail
#

vamp ate it

fringe nebula
#

different run

patent sail
#

he was hungry

fringe nebula
#

I even had the moon in consumable slot lol

flat tiger
#

if you wild and get suck by vampire, it only count the original suit right? because it get suck before triggering for seeing double

fringe nebula
#

original

fringe nebula
flat tiger
#

being stupid an still win is better then being stupid and barely throwing a run

patent sail
#

playing a single black card with smeared + seeing double #tech

#

or is it a single wild card i forgot

#

oh yea its a single wild card

knotty zodiac
#

which feels better

playing well and losing
or
playing poorly and W

patent sail
#

2nd ofc

fringe nebula
#

playing poorly and winning

flat tiger
patent sail
#

ive had such scuffed runs before which were "officially dead" like 3 times during it, and yet still somehow won

#

they are satisfying when you do somehow pull through

flat tiger
#

what I hate the most are those runs that I have all the set up in ante 2-3 and only need Xmult alike, it drags on to ante 8 and I wasted 30 min because theres actualyl no Xmult

lime remnant
#

should have taken the rare skip smh smh

patent sail
#

tbf ive had a black stake no xmult win

#

idk how i survived

flat tiger
#

or those runs that you know its a slow death but the game let you stay alive by giving you random straight flush/4oak draws to stay alive, then you again wasted your time getting to ante 7-8 and die jsut liek you know you would back in ante 3

eager prawn
#

Which joker should I sell?

patent sail
#

icecream prob idk

#

or stunt

lime remnant
#

?

patent sail
#

hes perishable anyway

eager prawn
flat tiger
#

stuntman is perisahable and you have square?

knotty zodiac
#

stuntman if you cna survive without it

lime remnant
#

maybe stunt

flat tiger
#

also do you even want legendary when you are all in chipping

eager prawn
#

Maybe this will help

patent sail
#

full skip run

knotty zodiac
#

interesting, sold ttm

eager prawn

knotty zodiac

fullskip is death pretty sure

patent sail

why would you keep icecream, it is also "perishable" and you are only ante 5

actually even with plasma

idk I only think its overrated since the early game help isn't as apparent compared to other similar rated decks

frank grove
#

i mean your joker order is wrong anyway trio should be after the brainstorms

spark kernel
frank grove
#

no

#

put trio as your right most joker

spark kernel
frank grove
#

if you plan on copying grimbo

spark kernel
knotty zodiac
frank grove
#

ok that makes sense

frank grove
#

wait actually how did you not find a single 3oak actually

deft sandal
#

vagabussy πŸ˜‹

spark kernel
frank grove
#

did you draw the 5s right at the start?

spark kernel
shell dagger
#

trio 5 -> 15 = +10

deft sandal
fringe nebula
#

both choices are valid so

spark kernel
#

I went through 2 discards and 3 hands and still fifnt get any

#

Why is zodiac being ahater πŸ˜­πŸ™

knotty zodiac
spark kernel
frank grove
#

😭

spark kernel
knotty zodiac
#

you're trying to draw 1 of two cards... you're going to bottom deck sometimes. 3 hands + 2 discards is 25 cards. that's half the deck.

fringe nebula
#

........................
well, that is balatro fundemantal issue

shell dagger
#

3oak isn’t a consistent hand until you deckfix

#

that’s just how it is

spark kernel
#

Anything after orange stake is hell

vocal rose
#

I think its very close to top 5

fringe nebula
#

well, learning balatro's fundamental is the hardest part of getting good anyway

knotty zodiac
#

or for experienced folks

frank grove
#

idk how i would rank the decks

shell dagger
#

nebula green red blue plasma top 5

vocal rose
frank grove
#

why?

vocal rose
#

consistently placed in top 5

frank grove
#

i think zodiac is a top 5 deck probably

vocal rose
frank grove
#

the shops are much better on average

fringe nebula
#

what would be top 5 for you?

frank grove
fringe nebula
#

blue yellow abandoned checkered and what

vocal rose
#

in order L/R blue/yellow/checkered/abandoned/ghost

flat tiger
#

am i crazy to think erratic is higher because it make 3oak/2pair easier

cedar sable
#

i forgot

#

but the one

cedar sable
#

that gives +2 hand size

#

and -1 joker slot

vale shale
#

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

cedar sable
#

i forgot the name

fringe nebula
#

oh cmon

#

I'm too slow

vale shale
flat tiger
#

painted and plasma literally took me the longest to ebat but most people think they are easy

knotty zodiac
frank grove
#

i like zodiac cause the shops are better on average seeing more stuff is good

vocal rose
fringe nebula
#

which one is more consistent between zodiac and ghost?

vocal rose
#

I'd have it as top 6

vocal rose
knotty zodiac
frank grove
fringe nebula
#

because you don't have that much money to make use of zodiac deck in ante 1-2

knotty zodiac
frank grove
#

zodiacs power is with rolls cause you just see more stuff, but early game it can be okay early planets and tarots can be good depending on what they are

vocal rose
frank grove
#

like devil early is almost always a pickup if i one shot first round

flat tiger
#

i mean just having more things in the shop means you are more likely to find something useful

#

so its a big boost the entire run

fringe nebula
#

so is randomly finding trance

#

and immolate

#

and cryptid

frank grove
#

yeah but the chance is fairly low

#

its like 6% or something for a spectral in shop on ghost right?

flat tiger
#

meanwhile most of the spectral are suituatinally good some hurts you if you use it

knotty zodiac
fringe nebula
#

yeah, zodiac deck doesn't always help your earlygame

vocal rose
#

well thinking about it ghost can be interchangeable with it

knotty zodiac
#

got it. now i get it.

knotty zodiac
fringe nebula
#

true actually

frank grove
knotty zodiac
#

(early)

fringe nebula
#

I should play zodiac more

frank grove
#

yeah even if its like 3 planets the chance that one of them does something is pretty high

vocal rose
vocal rose
#

but with the decks I have above it

#

lowrolling an ante 1-2 shop isn't life or death

frank grove
#

low rolling is less a problem yeah

vocal rose
#

zodiac feels way more risky IF it does happen

flat tiger
#

it helps especially early game because you cant exactly paid $5 to reoll

knotty zodiac
#

so theoretically as skill goes up, zodiac should get more consistent than other decks

#

the number of completely unused and random emojis in this server is funny

WHY DID THE GAME NOT GIVE ME TWO PAIR

vocal rose
#

in terms of win streaking consistency I've found it just barely scratching top 5

this is why rtb so ANNOYING

vocal rose

the hardest part of the game imo

spark kernel
gloomy swallow
#

dawg

flat tiger
#

playing anything otehr then pair/HC with bus is too risky

knotty zodiac
vocal rose
#

its a weird thing to argue that "zodiac is barely out of the top 5"

gloomy swallow
#

e

hoary moon
frank grove
# vocal rose this is true

which i think is a bigger deal past ante 2/3 compared to the upsides other top decks have which are mainly constrained to early game safety

gloomy swallow
flat tiger
gloomy swallow
vocal rose
gloomy swallow
#

that is just how you get the engine started

vocal rose
#

now obviously it isnt STRICTLY early game survival

fringe nebula
#

with rtb it also doesn't have to be pairslop too?

vocal rose
#

otherwise I'd put painted above zodiac and that would be silly

flat tiger
gloomy swallow
spark kernel
gloomy swallow
#

unlike someone else i could mention

vocal rose
gloomy swallow
#

if RTB simply got rid of like, say 5 mult each time you played a face card THEN I WOULD 100% BE FINE WITH THAT

fringe nebula
gloomy swallow
#

and having overstock early on is a huge plus

knotty zodiac
fringe nebula
gloomy swallow
#

and if it isnt top 5 then what else is

vocal rose
#

nah I can't agree with that

knotty zodiac
#

abandoned has a lot of trouble in ante 2 if you find nothing

frank grove
#

ehhh

vocal rose
#

abandoned is a decent bit better than zodiac

#

nearly top 3

flat tiger
vocal rose
#

blue deck is top 1

fringe nebula
gloomy swallow
#

i mean hands are useful and pair slop and yada yada

knotty zodiac
gloomy swallow
#

but like its just a hand

knotty zodiac
#

that's the comparison point

hoary moon
fringe nebula
#

a hand is HUGE

frank grove
#

i think my ranking is blue, yellow, abandoned, checkered, zodiac probably

vocal rose
fringe nebula
#

I haven't played enough zodiac to understand it, but my top 4 is blue yellow checkered abandoned

gloomy swallow
vocal rose
#

due to the deck fixing

gloomy swallow
#

and that is the worst one

vocal rose
#

allowing the higher hands to be played so much more consistently

flat tiger
gloomy swallow
frank grove
#

nebula is just unfun but its not hard to beat

knotty zodiac
fringe nebula
gloomy swallow
vocal rose
#

we have that already

flat tiger
gloomy swallow
#

being able ot get planet cards for your most played hand but not being able to play as many hands

gloomy swallow
vocal rose
#

telescope for -1 hand is

#

HORRIBLE

frank grove
#

which is useless given that blue seals still exist 😭

gloomy swallow
#

hands

vocal rose
#

yes

knotty zodiac
#

it's called black deck

vocal rose
#

if we are talking about hands NOT hand size

#

that is horrible

#

and is just a worse black deck

i mean

vocal rose

maybe the opinion is slightly shifting

#

which I'm very happy for

long pendant
fringe nebula
#

checkered earlygame is just

#

that good

vocal rose
#

factual

frank grove
#

checkered is just free ante 1 and round 4

knotty zodiac
#

is strush more fun on checkered or abandoned?

warped bear
#

So

vocal rose
#

abandoned since flush houses are fun on checkered

warped bear
#

Nat negative idol on Baron mime nan inf run anyone?

frank grove

abandoned just lets you do it more consistantly on average

thats 1 in 32 chance for X7.59 without dice

and about getting further

we dont know ANYTHING about your setup

#

hence we cant give much advice

twin lantern
#

Well, I play a little, everything is random there.

patent sail
#

the game is about making random stuff you get work together

patent sail
#

sometimes its harder, sure, but thats what you gotta learn - how to make garbage you get somehow do something

#

thats as much as i can say without seeing your setups and all

patent sail

no?

#

baron, steel both get mimed

frank grove
pale wolf
#

4 1.5

patent sail
#

so is red seal 5 or 6

flat tiger
pale wolf
#

red seal adds 1 "mime" to the card

pale wolf
#

1 more steel and baron

patent sail
#

so 6

flat tiger
#

so 1 red steel king is already 6 times

patent sail
#

gaming

frank grove
#

yeah each red steel king with baron mime is 11.something x

flat tiger
#

i had quite a few mime games i never had baron work so

frank grove
#

more with copy jokers ofc

patent sail
#

this guy somehow lost ante 2 with a polychrome and a baronmime

surely he could have done SOMETHING to score

then you gonna keep getting the same garbgage

I would argue it's not per say difficult it's a time sink
