[ancient gyro]

[soft moss]

[ancient gyro]

succulent

[split field]

yeah its really not that deep all i did was call him a neckbeard because he kept criticising one thing i said

makes sense as to how i once lost 9 coin flips in a row

[serene forge]

I have a gf

[fringe nebula]

ok now that I think about it

how can a waflle be belgian and japanese at the same time

[wintry ice]

immigration

[serene forge]

belgian father and japanese mother

[ancient gyro]

they have belgian waffles in the local marts in japan, the ones in family mart, lawsons, 7/11

they were my favorite after trip snack when I was in osaka

[wintry ice]

[split field]

whos that?

[split field]

i meant you

[knotty zodiac]

are aces the best speculative numbered rank? decent upsides with minor downsides

• chip: 11 base chips, odd todd (common), scholar (common), can be strengthed for wee
• mult: rtb (common) rank clearing, fib
• stackability with grim

• bad for straights
• help less during facedown blinds for identifying cards / blindly playing face cards

[ancient gyro]

ace of spades 🗣️

generally they're the best

speculatively I like queens and 8s

[fringe nebula]

ace or 9

[ancient gyro]

and 9s

[compact niche]

what's better - a red chip stone card or a foil stone?

[knotty zodiac]

9s are better for straights but harder to stack, and only exclusive rank synergy is uncommon

[compact niche]

both are 100 either way right?

[ancient gyro]

A/Q/9/8 of spades are my general speculations

[ancient gyro]

red chip stone

[serene forge]

scholar isn't a particularly good joker tbf

[split field]

succulent PLS check dms/ friend request 🙏

[serene forge]

although it does have fibonacci

[ancient gyro]

replacement enhancement effects if any and other joker card triggering effects benefit with a red seal

[ancient gyro]

im not gonna kiss you

what's it for

[split field]

i swear ion want a kiss

[split field]

something you deserve to hear

[ancient gyro]

i got a warning accepting your friend request

[dusty valve]

Can someone help me figure out this seed? I did one run in the first ante but I’m not getting the double brainstorm nor the perko or the fool in Ante 1. At most I get 1 brainstorm. I don’t get it. I really wish I could I find a video on this seed

[serene forge]

they just want to advertise their free nitro server

[split field]

accept it so i can send the message m8

[serene forge]

it's the gamer

it's ai slop

[split field]

tryna go play some mario already 😭

[ancient gyro]

building a drawer one sec

[split field]

u can unadd me after

[serene forge]

I saw a thegamer article for stardew valley that said you should use tappers to sell oak resin for money

[dusty valve]

It gave me one really good seed already with triple polychrome dna (which honestly I might do again as I made it really far in that one) and the negative Perako and Negative Tribuleit combo which also got me extremely far.

[stable mulch]

man, the ghost deck is great

ive been getting very high scores consistently

[knotty zodiac]

stones can be added to your hand without matching the other criteria (so long as not five card hand)

[manic kettle]

Thanks Showman

[cloud sinew]

both are +100 chips either way though

[stable mulch]

showmen

[ancient gyro]

which one has more/better speculative options was prob the question

well not the question they said, just one I inserted when answering

[manic kettle]

not the best joker, but certainly the funniest one

[cloud sinew]

worst joker in the game

[manic kettle]

chadchad would disagree

[cloud sinew]

where is the chad in this image

[serene forge]

2 photos is worse than a single photochad fyi

[compact niche]

regarding the idol, if 1/4 cards i'm playing triggers the x2 should that card be put on the far right? Or does that only x2 apply to the chips that card generates?

[manic kettle]

hes there in spirit

[serene forge]

showman is hurting your chances of getting a chad

showman is the only joker that is literally worse than nothing in almost every context

[knotty zodiac]

less likely to find the first material one with showman xD

[manic kettle]

what about photophotophoto

[serene forge]

still worse than a photochad

[manic kettle]

true, but its funnier to keep him lmao

[knotty zodiac]

double photoman (photo showman)

[reef shadow]

Goodbye the full house deck, you had a good run

[manic kettle]

i love showman so much lmao

[compact niche]

is odd todd worth holding on to for late game?

doing A/10s this run (abandoned)

[knotty zodiac]

scary photo 2 coming to a theater near you

[knotty zodiac]

usually if things are going well you have a decent planet levels and it drops off

[compact niche]

my planet levels suck this run

ive got 4x/full house/flush on level 2 the rest are all lv1, I'm on ante 6 rn

took a ton of tarot cards trying to get out of debt which I only finally just did and sold credit card

[knotty zodiac]

then you might need to keep it but expect some pain if your deckfixing is weak

[compact niche]

the deckfixing has been good though

there's a free baron in the shop along with a vagabond

and another standard pack

idk if running baron for one king is worth unless I can get the +1 level tarot for the 2 steel queens

[knotty zodiac]

ya todd is often supplying over half your chips in a five card hand here. i think of it like a 2x in this situation

[compact niche]

thanks

I'm thinking out of desperation I'll sell 2 of my mult cards (keep fortune teller) and take baron and vagabond, hope it generates me what I need to win

[knotty zodiac]

note- baron applies before fortune teller and abstract, so it's kind of weak unless your luckys proc

plus you have no kings

[compact niche]

bummer - i still took it since it was free though, we'll see how it goes

[knotty zodiac]

but vaga will help fortune teller a lot and its good when you have no money

[compact niche]

both shop packs had 1 each, if vagabond makes the +1 for 2 tarot card I'll use that on the steel queens

vagabond is an S tier card for me

[knotty zodiac]

ya its often good when you have money anyways but at low budget it's no brainer

[compact niche]

should I turn these 2 aces into bonus or lucky?

[knotty zodiac]

i like lucky with vaga bc $20 for shop

[compact niche]

good idea, thanks

red chip gives 2 chances too

this gonna be fun

I got bricked from abusing tarot creation before the boss blind

[manic kettle]

average photochad run

[knotty zodiac]

showman and invis doing behind the scenes work lol

[manic kettle]

it was mostly showman lmao, just one invisible

[autumn kiln]

what should i do guys, idk what joker i get rid of for the brainstorm

[versed sable]

cat

[reef shadow]

Wraith gave me blueprint

[autumn kiln]

okay ty

[thorny tiger]

Chat I got 3 blueprints and a brainstorm, what joker do i roll for

[pulsar forge]

depends on your deck

[thorny tiger]

Yellow

I hit an uncommon skip and an investment skip first ante and got two blueprints first shop

[pulsar forge]

depends on the cards in your deck

idk prob mail in rebate and any scoring joker

just so you can get the ball rolling

[thorny tiger]

I was just photochading it to ante 8 cuz im just on white stake having fun

[compact niche]

strategy has absolutely worked so far - and then some

[thorny tiger]

I am ante 6 sadly

[serene forge]

sock is a x2

sell it

[autumn kiln]

too late😭

[serene forge]

you gotta get used to doing those calculations

sock feels like it would be really really good on photochad but more often than not it's just kinda mid

[thorny tiger]

Balatro calculator exists and is pretty good for its ease of use too

[compact niche]

manipulating the shop to maximize money spam but make sure vagabond is active can be tricky

[ebon condor]

id say to avoid it where you can tho, you need to develop an intuition for that kinda thing

[reef shadow]

This hand seems to be very lucky

[ebon condor]

but its useful in very close situations

[compact niche]

lucky money procd twice too so I entered shop with $44

oh boy

[reef shadow]

Your run seems to be very lucky

[compact niche]

fortune teller is +37 rn - which should I sell for the cat?

[ebon condor]

sell baron right?

with a +37 ft its likely not doing much

[compact niche]

I've got 3 kings in my deck - they are steel though

but then again I can just turn them into more aces

[ebon condor]

if you want to go endless then maybe dont but

[thorny tiger]

Optimal run world record honestly unbeatable

[ebon condor]

i think cat is usually going to surpass baron with that many luckies

[compact niche]

the cat has foil too

[ebon condor]

or you can get rid of vaga if you dont think you need it

thats also an option

[compact niche]

vaga netting too much value

it's legit carrying the run now

[reef shadow]

Why not all blueprints in ballot? if my mental math is correct that should be more mult

[thorny tiger]

More XMult sounds equals more dopamine in my brain

[reef shadow]

Shouldnt that be even more Xmult sounds?

If that matter

[compact niche]

actually since the cat is foil couldn't i get rid of odd todd then?

[ancient gyro]

5x3 > 9x1

[compact niche]

soon enough five of a kind is gonna have a ton more chips so the gain from odd todd wouoldnt be as good

[reef shadow]

My mental math was never good :(

[hasty harness]

just got my 3rd ante 39 run

[ancient gyro]

o

[hasty harness]

rah

[knotty zodiac]

temp dip in score but looks survivable since your 5oak is consistent looking

[serene forge]

baron procs before mult jokers which is already a disadvantage

I think you just win if you pick up cat for baron

[compact niche]

since I'm still new-ish to this game someone please correct me if my math here is wrong:

so right now 5x ace hand = 225x21

chips= 225 from hand, 55 from aces, 50 from trio foil, 50 from cat foil
= 380 chips (excluding odd todd which would be 155 more (155/380 = 40.8% chip gain)

only +mult source is from the hand (x21 rn but will rise quickly soon), +37 from fortune teller
31/21 x 100 = fortune teller causing score increase of 176.2%

inb4 my math is very wrong lol

[compact niche]

so the only thing baron multiplies is the chips then?

[ancient gyro]

there's a balatro calculator you can google to check specific math estimates

[mighty gust]

Insane start for my full house run

[knotty zodiac]

seems to check out

[compact niche]

thanks, I'm checking it out

[ancient gyro]

seems to check out

i didnt look

[knotty zodiac]

i walked through the math but not as though my run depended on it

[pulsar forge]

yeah pretty much

[compact niche]

how do I increase fortune tellers mult on that calculator?

[ebon condor]

yes, but obviously the impact of teller will decrease as your hand levels increase and if you have steels for baron

and if you get lucky procs too ig

[frank grove]

Click it

And it should popup on the right side and you can increase values there iirc

[compact niche]

wait maybe I'm using the wrong one

which is the right one? github or balatrocalc?

[frank grove]

https://efhiii.github.io/balatro-calculator/

[compact niche]

I said screw it and sold odd todd which my first round aterwards was even higher

[red briar]

how do people find really good runs

do you just need to reset alot

[weak relic]

Turn it into pairslop run

[serene forge]

it multiplies your base mult

which is why you need to have a high high card level to play baron

so you can hold the most kings and also actually have something to multiply

[weak relic]

Bro

[dire sage]

sybau do not redeem do not redeem madam are you listening

he's gone

[compact niche]

should I just drop fortune teller at this point for throwback?

throwback is x1.75 rn

[dire sage]

speaking of gambling, i had a shower thought where you need 10 OA6s to make a cavendish go extinct immediately

[weak relic]

I stopped doing that and hope for the best

If not, well

[compact niche]

but then again this deck gets better every round I play out and manipulate the deck more

[weak relic]

There is another game

[compact niche]

guess I answered my own question then, plus it's eternal

[serene forge]

what did you skip for

you probably shouldn't be skipping with vagabond

[compact niche]

early run before vagabond

[serene forge]

also vaga with fortune teller is a good pair

[compact niche]

double tag into mega arcana

[weak relic]

Put fortune teller to the leftmost

[compact niche]

which i got mad value out of

[serene forge]

why

[compact niche]

forgot about that, thanks

oh wait no

it was double tag into money for every discard not used

[serene forge]

tbf you can intentionally sandbag to get more vaga value

but yeah

[compact niche]

got me out of -20 debt from card

without that i wouldnt have had vaga iirc

[dire sage]

me when the ox but i have credit card and pretty much in debt

[eager prawn]

Hard choice should I skip?

[weak relic]

Why are you keeping showman? For what?

[frank grove]

I would take the second space and supernova here probably

[eager prawn]

For multiple greedy

[weak relic]

Rather, a peculiar choice

[eager prawn]

I'm going to sell holo then

[weak relic]

Wait what

No

[weak relic]

Kill showman for another space joker

[glossy parrot]

I are winar

[eager prawn]

I'm not going to buy cards

[hasty harness]

as you play more you get better you can reduce "luck" in getting a good run

[glossy parrot]

Isn't gambling all about luck tho

[hasty harness]

well balatro isnt a gambling game

[glossy parrot]

It's based on poker man

[hoary ravine]

YAYYYYY HI BALATRO DISCORD

[eager prawn]

I never knew

[hasty harness]

and that makes balatro gambling how so?

[weak relic]

Dont kill your xmults

[eager prawn]

Too late

[glossy parrot]

Gambling elements are incorporated

[weak relic]

Wtf...

[waxen fable]

sonblud

[eager prawn]

[hasty harness]

go ahead and tell me what gambling elements are incorporated

:p

[slow iris]

no

[fervent wolf]

Hologram accelerator

[compact niche]

can idol pick a card that isn't in your deck?

[weak relic]

No

[cloud sinew]

only if you have no valid cards in your deck

then it picks ace of spades

[compact niche]

gotcha thanks, so if my deck is only A/K/10 that would be really good then, or not because it's only when the card is scored?

[ancient gyro]

if all your cards are stone, idol defaults to-

what lilo said

[weak relic]

Defeats the whole point of the card

[hasty harness]

it would be better if you make it only 1 card

[weak relic]

Still, potty joker nonetheless

[hasty harness]

so like Ace only

or kings only

etc

[compact niche]

oh so that's why the one in the shop is ace of spades rn

so when building an ace heavy deck ace of spades is the go to then?

[cloud sinew]

no no

the default card doesnt matter at all

it will only ever default to ace of spades if you have all stones or no cards in deck

[compact niche]

oh so that was just coincidence then

[hasty harness]

yep

however the more of one type of card you have the more likely idol is to pick it

so for example if you have 20 king of clubs an 1 ace of clubs

its super likely idol hits kings of clubs

[compact niche]

gotcha

I passed it up

I got lucky cat up to 3.5x so far

fortune teller at +77 and just landed polychrome on vagabond so I guess I'm keeping it longer

[hasty harness]

just bc it's poly doesnt mean you should keep it, its not bad its just you can find better probably

[vagrant wagon]

Judgment is carrying rn 🤔

[compact niche]

yeah I might drop it in ante 11 or 12 if I get there

depends how much i keep scoring rn I'm in 7 digits so I should at least clear 10 with ease

[vagrant wagon]

All jokers from Judgement

[compact niche]

and thats with wasting my first 4/5 hands on high cards for tarots

[surreal dragon]

HOW

my judgement gives me fricking sly and shit

[heady rampart]

i accidentally just started a new run while having a cloned triboulet OMGGGGG

[surreal dragon]

i had a cloned trib today

glad i didnt do that lol

Cold take: the only good thing what reddit did to balatro was made Balatrodle

[viral raft]

we all hate the idol

[frail valley]

yo guys

[viral raft]

what's up

[frail valley]

should i delete every joker that i have rn

[serene forge]

your throwback is doing barely more than 1 cavendish btw

[frail valley]

except tenebris

[viral raft]

overall yes

[ancient gyro]

they took my throwback niche explanation too seriously

[serene forge]

andy how the fuck do you even have an idol emote

[serene forge]

what was it

[ancient gyro]

obelisk/madness/good xmult compatibility makes sense in some context with throwback

[viral raft]

"saved by Mr. Bones"

[eager prawn]

Yes

[compact niche]

194 million off my last hand and that was without loyalty card active

[viral raft]

boney guy did more than throwback imo

[eager prawn]

I reset the bus

[compact niche]

does vagabond give an equal % chance to all tarot cards or are some more likely than others?

[viral raft]

all of them hacve the same %

same as planets

[frail valley]

marco mr. bones

[tulip oak]

high card or two pair

[serene forge]

they must've misread madness as misprint

[viral raft]

Two pair

[tulip oak]

also whats the best joker for spectral pack start

[ancient gyro]

huh

[viral raft]

wdym "spectal pack start"?

[tulip oak]

wait

[ancient gyro]

2p for scoring
hc for utility

[serene forge]

bus barely even scaled considering you had 8 rounds to play

also skill issue

[tulip oak]

spectral deck

[eager prawn]

[tulip oak]

my fault

like the first shop

[serene forge]

you don't choose your jokers so weird question

[tulip oak]

just wondering

what pairs well with it

[serene forge]

preferably you hex the first decent joker you see, but if it's already editioned or you see a food joker or something you just sell the hex for interest

[light oak]

what should I sell for blueprint

should I sell baron for baseball card? loyalty and cat are both uncommons

[trim pier]

yo but i lwk keep getting beat at ante 4-6

[compact niche]

but that's also eternal so idk if i should wait for something better

[serene forge]

it's ante 12

your run is gonna fizzle out if you don't have a baron setup and a mime

[eager prawn]

Bro really is purple haze after all with that skill

[compact niche]

i thought mime required red chips?

[glass mountain]

is it possible to get ante -1?

[trim pier]

yo cjill on me i started 5 days ago

[serene forge]

wasn't talking to you

[light oak]

pretty sure there's a video on that

[trim pier]

where

[trim pier]

sorry

[serene forge]

red seals are best yes but you don't need them

[compact niche]

im trying to make more glass red seal aces

[eager prawn]

I still think it's possible to get -ante 2?

[serene forge]

not a baron setup

run's gonna be over soon

[compact niche]

so sell baron for baseball card then?

[trim pier]

thats alot of xards

[serene forge]

you can do whatever you want

nothings gonna change the outcome

Why are playing endless on black stake T T

I wanted to see how far this run could get so I can get better at the game

[light oak]

[serene forge]

[serene forge]

[light oak]

lemme sell a negative for no reason sure

[turbid smelt]

Bro I’m done with this game

Been playing for over a year

Not a single naninf

I’ve gotten high e runs

But

No naninf

I give up

It’s impossible

[trim pier]

what is an naninf

and an e run

[turbid smelt]

Naninf is max possible score

And e run is when ur score is in scientific notation

[ancient gyro]

good memories

[trim pier]

thats cool

the biggest number i ever had is 9k

[turbid smelt]

lol how long have u been playing

[trim pier]

[trim pier]

[trim pier]

i just discard until i get something in run info tbingy

[trim pier]

oooo

[cloud sinew]

[trim pier]

thats gonna take a loooong time

[ancient gyro]

pick whatever deck you have the most fun with and just keep playing through the stakes

[sly marsh]

Man idk what to do. I want to sticker onyx agate and hack but I really need xmult. Trousers has +40 mult, both the flash cards have +24. Sell pants? Or ditch one of onyx/hack?

[trim pier]

[ancient gyro]

zoinks scoob

[compact niche]

I freaking called it, glass shatter costed me getting to 13

[light oak]

found a softlock (I used immolate)

[polar light]

0 hand size kills you anyway

when you start the blind

[light oak]

I know that

[polar light]

you can just go to a new run

[light oak]

but I js did savescum

[polar light]

Pants if you are breezing by right now

[sly marsh]

Rip I sold pants and had awful Holo luck

Bad Holo luck and then awful draw luck on that boss

[stark charm]

Can you blueprint brainstrom burglar?

[keen lodge]

I have just experienced the canon event of my cavendish breaking

[nova junco]

I got gold sticker on obelisk I'm so glad I don't have to think about it anymore

[light oak]

do I js sell gold ticket or one of the stuntmans

[stark charm]

Okay cosmic egg

[nova junco]

It got to X5 too but it wasn't even doing much compared to the x15 lucky cat + brainstorm

[pulsar forge]

pron stumtman

[icy hollow]

Yea.... not very easy to scale rtb with a stuntman lmao

[bleak blaze]

3 hours and I still am grinding for C++

Merry Andy is a certified op

[trim pier]

qhat is c++

[vocal rose]

code

[bleak blaze]

Getting all joker stickers on Gold stake

RELEASE MEEEE

or give me a yorick

[trim pier]

tgat sounds like cancer

[bleak blaze]

Its fun

I like this game so grinding isn't too awful

[trim pier]

i feel kinda hard stuck at 4-6 ante but i got alot of tips so i think ill beat ante 8 tomorrow

[bleak blaze]

Yep, most of this game is understanding what jokers can work with what

Im still learning to this day

[trim pier]

i got a joker where u need to beat 5 rounds in a row with 1 hand

[glossy parrot]

Can anyone decode this I can't be assed

[trim pier]

"my name is retep and i am evil"

evil balatro

[light oak]

to DNA or not to DNA is the question

[waxen quartz]

you have enough cards, they'd need to be high value

[light oak]

more kings the merrier

[glossy parrot]

Jokering my poker

[bleak blaze]

Waiter waiter!! More Red Seal Kings please!!

[light oak]

Waiter Waiter!! more naninf slop please!!

[bleak blaze]

White stake players checking in to do their 2736th Baron Mime run

[light oak]

ive only got gold stake on ghost deck and I got bored and tried to see if I could naninf at all

[bleak blaze]

Once I get C++ im gonna start the naneinf grind since thats really all I have left to do

Maybe GS Naneninf

Who knows, I might lose my sanity and not do it

[rugged bloom]

boy what the hell

[icy hollow]

Mfw i need pareidolia sticker....

[pale wolf]

i hates endless

[icy hollow]

Do i "fuck it we ball"?

[bleak blaze]

Bye bye Photo!!

[bleak blaze]

You mean "shop simulator?"

[pale wolf]

green joker green deck

fated

[hollow birch]

Early painted deck, no levels or deck fixing yet and still have money to re-roll in shop a few times to try to get some scoring if I go rebate -- you take the trio or eternal rebate?

[pale wolf]

rebate ez

[light oak]

Waiter Waiter!! more face card slop please!

[bleak blaze]

Rebate

[hollow birch]

alright cool I didn't know if Iw as bein greedy with only 4 joker slots lmao

[bleak blaze]

Money on painted deck is hard to maintain with the limited joker slots

So rebate is nice here since you see So many cards

[hollow birch]

cheers

[bleak blaze]

My dumbass would pick the trio because "big score make brain happy"

[rugged bloom]

Time to pivot to baron right obviously

perfectly baron-set up deck

blueprint goes for the baron

[hollow birch]

yeah I was just lookinga t it like since playing 3oak+ hands should be easy, maybe worth the bigger multiplier

[hollow birch]

but I think I was leaning rebate anyway

[bleak blaze]

??? You have a sock and trib?

Thats scoring and retriggers already

[icy hollow]

Ok didnt do pareidolia but got shortcut

[rugged bloom]

He's back

[icy hollow]

9 stickers left i think

Tho i alrdy stickered some of the

[hoary moon]

time to park the bus

[icy hollow]

9

[hoary moon]

haramball

[icy hollow]

They jusr fucking lost tue sticker cus the game is annoying

[waxen quartz]

not the worst ever voucher tag, but yuck

[hollow birch]

@bleak blaze blue seal vs gold seal with the painted deck & eternal rebate -- i assume you prioritize a trance over a talisman just to try to cover score as much as possible with limited joker slots since econ is slightly covered already with rebate?

[kind creek]

17 dollars for discounted tarots? This is great

[gentle basalt]

Its always blue seal (assuming you currently have neither)

[hoary moon]

endless?

[hollow birch]

okay yeah I thought so, cheers

[mint jetty]

How do I beat the eye here?

[gentle basalt]

(Well slight exception if you have a lot of retriggers, but i assume you are talking of just winning the run, and not endless; in which case retriggers are bad)

[hoary moon]

planet/tarot merchant are both bad vouchers

[gentle basalt]

Tarot merchant is good

[fiery nymph]

only planet

[ancient gyro]

tarot isn't on that list

[mint jetty]

Depends

[formal oriole]

pray for good jokers

[ancient gyro]

nvm im still blocked

[hoary moon]

well

[waxen quartz]

ante 6. overstock yay, nothing else good

[hoary moon]

tarot aint the best

[formal oriole]

it really doesnt

[hoary moon]

Zodiac deck ig

[mint jetty]

Yes it does

[ancient gyro]

it's very good

[formal oriole]

ur just wrong

[gentle basalt]

His name has hallucination hater

[hoary moon]

is it

[gentle basalt]

He should change it to tarot hater

[hoary moon]

i dont take it a lot

[mint jetty]

Constelation

[formal oriole]

a constelation run doesnt need the voucher

[waxen quartz]

white stake plasma, naninf stuff. I've got chad, ticket, rebate and bull

[mint jetty]

Astronomer

[mint jetty]

It doesn't but it helps

[formal oriole]

oh W u ruined 75% of ur run for x3

[hoary moon]

planet and tarot vouchers ruin endless runs lok

[mint jetty]

Campfire also

[formal oriole]

how much of a noob are u

[waxen quartz]

ya I don't take them. hat trick/other thing either

[gentle basalt]

Tarot merchant is often taken? (Dont quote on me on that)
The game is won at ante 8

[formal oriole]

facts

[ancient gyro]

normally you wanna have an influx of tarot cards to deck fix and/or have hermit/temperance/devil/fool/death dumps

[bleak blaze]

I take Tarot vouchers if I have overstock and Overstock+

[night bridge]

What are you trying to tell me showman

[bleak blaze]

Deck fixing is nice

[mint jetty]

Well, I wouldn't say i'm very good but I did get C++ twice

[ancient gyro]

sure it's downsides are that you're less likely to see jokers, it's more of a step 2 plan

[bleak blaze]

Yeah ur a scrub, git gud kid

[mint jetty]

I just think planet merchant has some use cases

[bleak blaze]

^^

Absolutely

[formal oriole]

wdym by twice

[icy hollow]

Holy w aura darm right there 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[bleak blaze]

Astronomer + Campfire = Infinite mult

[ancient gyro]

kpop band

[mint jetty]

I mean i got c++ in 2 different save files

[hoary moon]

hesaid he was doing endless

[formal oriole]

have u ever gotten an unseeded nane inf

[hoary moon]

naninf

[hollow birch]

can a tarot card that's currently in your shop window also appear in the arcana pack there?

[mint jetty]

Yes

[formal oriole]

tell me about it

[hoary moon]

with legendaries?

[mint jetty]

With and without

But its been months

[hoary moon]

huh nice

[mint jetty]

I dont really have fun playing endless anymore

[ancient gyro]

tarot is fine to take given overstock pickup in endless or just average gs runs

[hoary moon]

its fun the first time

then its all the same

[formal oriole]

its fun everyttime

NO ITS NOT

[icy hollow]

Tarot also not that bad for endless cus ur temperances are JUICY

[formal oriole]

u guys have lost the love for the game

[glossy parrot]

The fuck?

[ancient gyro]

#⚙・modding-general

[hoary moon]

gold stake runs are waaaay more varied

[mint jetty]

I prefer playing some gold stake runs when I'm in my breaktime at work

[ancient gyro]

i think "have more variety" is the right phrase

[formal oriole]

but boring

[hoary moon]

theres like 2 viable strategies for endless runs

[glossy parrot]

He gave me an egg

[waxen quartz]

gold stake gets painful when you reroll 5x per shop and don't find scoring

[hoary moon]

hows endless more fun

[mint jetty]

The funniest endless run i ever had was a marry andy + hit the road run

[glossy parrot]

[warped moth]

:)

[mint jetty]

It didn't go that far but it was fun

[hoary moon]

i did endless hiker run once

very fun

[icy hollow]

Endless is fun until u get good enough to force whatever u want

[mint jetty]

Yea

[waxen quartz]

there's lots of ways to get to ante 15 (not plasma, that's a joke). just after 24 it's pretty much baron only

[hoary moon]

endless usually lasts till ante 12

[icy hollow]

When i was new it was so fun to max out what the game gave me

[mint jetty]

Once you learn how to make a lot of money early and take the unga bunga high score jokers

[icy hollow]

But now its like, i can just force barin mime basically everytime so its extremely repetitive

[hoary moon]

i remember my first e run with polychrome red seal glass queens

good times

[icy hollow]

And ignroing baron mime would just be intentionally lowering my scoring which doesnt feel very fun either

[hoary moon]

and seeded runs are just tedious

[mint jetty]

They can be fun

Bugged seeds are fun

[waxen quartz]

endless is just tedious. setting up for endless (deckfix, get $, get the jokers) is

[ancient gyro]

playing with the same 15 jokers gets lame real quick

[mint jetty]

I rarely play endless but when I do it usually comes from a run where i got a funny combo and i wanna do it for longer

Like plasma deck + marble joker + stone joker + BP + hologram

That was such a fun run

[hoary moon]

ooo yea

[tall sky]

artemis II mission in a nutshell

[hoary moon]

but i mean busted Seeds like negative ante 1 perkeo or smth like that

[mint jetty]

Yea

Some are useful for speedruns

[hoary moon]

i found a crazy seed accidentally

that gives you e15 on ante 2 big blind

[mint jetty]

Damn

[icy hollow]

Tbh i like the endless setup

[glossy parrot]

BRIAN!

[icy hollow]

I often do white stake endless until the point where i get most of the setup lol

But maximizing money is pretty fun to me

[bronze pollen]

How you like my set p

[hoary moon]

with disabled animations it could be fun

[bronze pollen]

We got the editions set up

[light oak]

do I sell a DNA and then sell the other DNA for the invis hit?

[bronze pollen]

Reroll till you get photo

Trust

[light oak]

I've seen photo 6 times this run

[bronze pollen]

Well you have hanging Chad

[light oak]

it was a nat negative

[hoary moon]

sell DNA and gamble

[bronze pollen]

Fucking hate this

[serene forge]

you gotta use the inverse ectoplasm card which removes negative from card and gives you +1 handsize

[hoary moon]

shit happens

[light oak]

is that a mod

[serene forge]

skip less

[serene forge]

no I'm joking

[bronze pollen]

6 points

[hoary moon]

torats

[light oak]

is it the same chance as a soul card

[bronze pollen]

I would of won if I had 6 more points

[hoary moon]

suboptimal joker order

[serene forge]

which you would've gotten if you skipped less

[hoary moon]

bad advice

keep skipping

[prime valve]

My favourite torat is daeth

[serene forge]

there was immolate and green joker ante 1 😭

[hoary moon]

life

[tawdry epoch]

all in on throwback

[serene forge]

there was also green joker ante 2

[hoary moon]

immolate is the best consumable in the game

[serene forge]

erm

yo no way

[tawdry epoch]

lovers is right there

[bronze pollen]

Uh how do I explain my stats

[prime valve]

All i see is "reset run and again"

[serene forge]

you play seeded too much

[bronze pollen]

Yeah

[hoary moon]

1 seeded run is enough to destroy your stars

stats

[icy hollow]

Ngl i just love golden ticket maxing lmao

[serene forge]

you should be imprisoned for not having immolate and trance on top 10

[icy hollow]

Golden ticket my goat

[cursive crater]

wow they are feeding me

[bronze pollen]

Photo Chad allegations are true

[hoary moon]

500 cryptids

[serene forge]

more like seeded allegations

two legendaries

seriously

[hoary moon]

its all from 1 seed

[prime valve]

Seeded doesnt exist btw

[serene forge]

do people just play one seed over and over

[bronze pollen]

Yeah aleeb

[hoary moon]

double neg legendaries

[serene forge]

aleeb is a 5 legendary seed

[bronze pollen]

I just play around with it in magic deck

[hoary moon]

i saw someone with 100 hours on that serd

beating every single record

[serene forge]

bruh

[prime valve]

Yeah, there is no further investigation on this case, this person is guilty

[hoary moon]

i can go over the hundreds of records he beat

in that 1 seed

[round inlet]

bro has 1/6th of my playtime on a single seed

[serene forge]

hours of time wasted?

[bronze pollen]

Roffle should have the death penalty

[round inlet]

no time is wasted playing balatro

[light oak]

finally got the mime

[bronze pollen]

Mime is good with shoot the stars gotta say

[prime valve]

Roffle would get electric chair and shrug it off like nothing

[icy hollow]

Riffle would call the chatter stupid for thinking the chair could affect him

[light oak]

what about reserved parking

[bronze pollen]

Yeah and baron

[light oak]

we gotta keep the baron mime combo down in the niche

not a lot of people know about it

[hoary moon]

probably more than 100 too

[icy hollow]

Mf couldve done 2 c++s on the time in 1 seed 😭 😭 😭 🙏

[hoary moon]

he has 500 videos on the sedd

[knotty zodiac]

elite ball knowledge

[hoary moon]

seed

[ancient gyro]

shoot the stars

[hoary moon]

he got

40k on red card

[icy hollow]

😭 😭 😭 😭

[hoary moon]

150X on yorick

60k cat

[icy hollow]

40k red card is so insane wtg

[hoary moon]

20k on runner

[icy hollow]

Surely aleeb isnt the best seed for all these records tho no?

[hoary moon]

900 glass joker

[icy hollow]

Tho i guess the advantage of knowing the seed so well after that much time makes up for it

[hoary moon]

40million bull

it just gets crazier

[hoary moon]

its definetly more than 200 hours

probably even 300

[idle mason]

First time chatting here but like
It's photo who goes for sure right?(just doing casual high score runs)

O wrong channel meant to be in run discussion-

[hexed tundra]

This probably isn't a hard decision for y'all but I have a personal attachment to ancient and hanging chat (hence the black stakes) what y'all thinkin

Oh yeah wrong channel

Rip

[hoary moon]

yh since bloodstone is doing the heavy lifting

[light oak]

egg

[hexed tundra]

I'ma get rid of da face mask

But what else is the question, ancient?

[nova junco]

Yeah no bloodstone=absolutely no score

[hoary moon]

dont take

[nova junco]

Hey that's me

[hexed tundra]

Okie

[hoary moon]

thats huge

[nova junco]

Take the egg

[ancient gyro]

that's not physically possible under vanilla circumstances and it's limited scaling

[idle mason]

Holy it was trib
Might actually go far into endless
I was so ready for chicot to ruin my day

[idle mason]

Yeah figured
Speculative oops actually paid off

[nova junco]

Speculative oops ALWAYS pays off

[hoary moon]

chicot saves from plant and heart boss

way better than canio or rick

[nova junco]

Chicot can do anything if you believe in him enough

[ancient gyro]

chicot can naneinf in endless unlike trib without secondary strats into play

[hoary moon]

chicot is boring but quite strong

[idle mason]

True true

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[nova junco]

Naahhhhhh him showing up is always a crazy jumpscare

[hoary moon]

fuck bloodstone fr

[idle mason]

Oh shit he can?
I knew he had some funny interactions with boss blinds but how can he naneinf? Or is just giving handsize for baron+mime?

[hoary moon]

ye handsize

[ancient gyro]

permanent hand size with manacle and chicos plural

[serene forge]

double chicot vs manacle gives you permanent extra handsize

so if you have retcon and 2 chicots you can just roll into manacle over and over again to farm handsize

[idle mason]

Ye knew about it, just forgot it could pair up with baron mime

[hoary moon]

double chicot has really fun interactions with bosses

[serene forge]

like this one

[viral raft]

probably of the funniest runs i've ever had with Vagabond

11 jacks in painted deck btw

[knotty zodiac]

pulled a clean rebate. ig i take both (boss is goad)

[naive frigate]

A hard choice...

[ancient gyro]

a4r6

[knotty zodiac]

hm actually $8 constellation is probably too much of an anchor if i lowroll rebate

[ancient gyro]

huh

[naive frigate]

What card bus shoiuld replace

I'm genuinely lost

[viral raft]

imagine a boss blind who debuffs enhacement cards

that would be so ahh

[ancient gyro]

id like one that bottom decks them

[naive frigate]

Maybe the flush joker

[light oak]

should I take burnt for reserved?

[pale wolf]

gloker almost kept up with obelisk

[bleak blaze]

Might be worse than the plant

[ancient gyro]

[serene forge]

sell bloodstone

and stop picking up bloodstone for no reason

[naive frigate]

We need a boss that debufs every card forever

[naive frigate]

It was in the pack vro

[light oak]

how about a boss that explodes your house

[serene forge]

sell for interest

[naive frigate]

Aren't you the sole bloodstone hater

[naive frigate]

So the plant?

[bleak blaze]

Boss blind that doxes you

[serene forge]

not sole, no

[bleak blaze]

If you fail your address shows up

[light oak]

almost as bad

[serene forge]

i like plant because it buffs ride the bus

[pale wolf]

i was gonna drop obelisk and then ox showed up a6

[ancient gyro]

you're under influence again

[bleak blaze]

I like the flint because it helps me maximize my scaling jokers

[pale wolf]

whats after green deck

[naive frigate]

Shiii

[ancient gyro]

[naive frigate]

i skipped too mcuh im sorry

Dont annihilate me

[bleak blaze]

Too late, orbital strike inbound

[pale wolf]

"optimal" start

investment tag on big blind but no guaranteed scoring

what do

[naive frigate]

Can't y'all js help me a lil

😭

[ancient gyro]

not if you play like that lol

[naive frigate]

Well help me so i don't play like that

[bleak blaze]

Maybe don't take it

[pale wolf]

ante 5 round 7

[ancient gyro]

ykw to do

[knotty zodiac]

sts style deck trashing to make you draw garbage

[nova junco]

Start with the pack seems the smart thing to do

[bleak blaze]

No guaruntee of score and skipping to the boss blind on black deck sounds like death

[pale wolf]

ouija in the sixth sense

[ancient gyro]

need more sts themed boss blinds

[nova junco]

And if there's absolutely nothing in there you can still win the boss with no jokers ig

[bleak blaze]

I guess, that's how I'd do it, but idk if they're going for win streaks

[viral raft]

i meaaaan, the plant isn't that hard 😭

[pale wolf]

and i said hey, what a wonderful kind of day

[ancient gyro]

two words

don't skip

[bleak blaze]

Flint is worse true

[viral raft]

kinda but overall the worst are the mega blinds (VV and the wall) and the Needle

[pale wolf]

is this micro ordered within macrotiers

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[naive frigate]

"universal threat" holy shit bro 😭😭

[ancient gyro]

what

[pale wolf]

meaning acorn is the lowest easiest

[viral raft]

bro post his tier list like just facts

tbh he's right

[bleak blaze]

I agree with this tbh

[ancient gyro]

the easiest easiest

[viral raft]

fair enough VV and Needle are easily the worst in everysingle build

[half rivet]

tips for winning on black deck white stake? i'm garbage but want checkered deck

[naive frigate]

Is there any fucking reason to why this is a straight

[bleak blaze]

Needle ruined my 4oak double poly chrome 8-ball build earlier

[viral raft]

try to play around many econ stuff and get a strong combo with xmult in end run

[pale wolf]

C tier should be deleted from game imo

[ancient gyro]

you should read your joker descriptions

[naive frigate]

Ik straight can be with 4 cards but why is ace counted

[pale wolf]

at some point its just trolling aint it

[bleak blaze]

Because its apart of the straight...

[void lintel]

a-5 straight

[naive frigate]

So does it ocunt as one?

Or what

[void lintel]

yes

[half rivet]

econ and mult? so... EVERY RUN EVER? do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

[royal bobcat]

everyone, i am afraid to be the bearer of some terrible news tonight

my streak...

[naive frigate]

So it coutns as 1 and ace at the same time?

I guess

[royal bobcat]

it's dead

[pale wolf]

thats what ace means

it has 1 suit symbol on the card

[ancient gyro]

if only you had visual confirmation

[naive frigate]

You learn something new every day...

[pale wolf]

it's both the highest and lowest ranked card

[light oak]

would this be best joker placement?

[pale wolf]

not at the same time though

[worldly geyser]

four fingers

[naive frigate]

I honestly didn't know that

[pale wolf]

looks right

[naive frigate]

Not the question

[worldly geyser]

ace

irs the ace

[naive frigate]

Exactly

[pale wolf]

thats the theming behind superposition

[viral raft]

i mean, yeah, in black deck you mostly just play with more econ joker (around 2-3 jokers) then fill your entire deck with strong stuff and mostly try to play around oneshot/consistent builds
