[fringe nebula]

ahh yeah

[calm furnace]

you probably dont even need RC or runner there

if you had enough planet scaling

[echo sphinx]

holy shit u making the exat same choices

[fringe nebula]

so you're fully commiting into ancient build here?

[calm furnace]

oh there is telescope there

but aint noway an early runner im probably comitting to it

[icy fable]

Thank You localthunk for the discount

Im now a proud owner of balatro

[visual niche]

first time getting over e20 lmao

[fringe nebula]

I skipped ancient

xd

[echo sphinx]

LOL

whats your planets like

[fringe nebula]

2 blue seals in deck

and card sharp

3 blue seals now

damn

[echo sphinx]

holy shit

yeah thats a won run

i HATE PAIRSLOP

[calm furnace]

todo landed on sflush twice in the same ante

[echo sphinx]

not because pairslop is op

but because when i try to play something else

I LOSE

[calm furnace]

hello there

[echo sphinx]

lol

[calm furnace]

banana popped im dead

[waxen fable]

aj is good in abandoned

[calm furnace]

aj is good in all decks except checkered

[waxen fable]

best in abandoned

[calm furnace]

someone who actually knows math would answer this better

but i dont think having a smaller deck with abandoned is really that helpful for drawing more flushes

[echo sphinx]

aj is best in abandoned yes

because u get to draw the flush more often

cuz there's less cards that aren't that suit

[calm furnace]

at least from experience i dont feed i draw more flushes with abandoned

[echo sphinx]

lol

try it

[frank grove]

what

[rigid forge]

fat fat kitty

[calm furnace]

i dunno how to do the math for it

so cant prove it

[echo sphinx]

its quite literally just 30 vs 39

same odds yes

but lower variance

which means less likely to be fucked by bad draw

[rigid forge]

you run out of cards faster

cause you start with basically 6 hanged man

or 2 immolate + 1 hanged man

[naive frigate]

Thoughts?

[calm furnace]

insane luck here

[echo sphinx]

before taking into accout the draws affect the odds

[calm furnace]

was 100% losing withose those 2

[frank grove]

insane first shop 😭

[cloud sinew]

same odds for getting any given suit, but the odds of bottom decking are much smaller considering you have a higher digging power proportional to your deck size

[viral raft]

Garbage tag actually being useful in a run??

[frank grove]

yeah and for aj you shouldnt need to play multiple flushes hopefully

[cloud sinew]

33 digging power in a deck of 40 is much stronger than 33 digging power in a deck of 52

[fringe nebula]

bean bug on gold stake

[calm furnace]

yeah in that regards

i lost

first AJ loss in ages

but jupiter did not exist

[calm furnace]

would have won if i used the glass card on the flush

[versed sable]

pretty chill even though i play too fast

[calm furnace]

but i wasnt winning the next round

[echo sphinx]

nice

[versed sable]

i took Hack in the last shop and then it got debuffed by the boss

[echo sphinx]

o m

[versed sable]

drspectred cryptid gameplay

[echo sphinx]

damn my fingers sucks lol

decision making is dead in the dumps

would u take gamble or just win this run and ill always pick gamble

[versed sable]

as usual all of my runs have Runner early on

kek

[calm furnace]

runner is guaranteed win 95% of the time

until you get a seed that refuses to draw straights

[cloud sinew]

nah

it's very dependant on the stage of the game you're at, and if it's rental or not

[calm furnace]

i mean its the 2nd best chip joker in the game after Wee

and it scales fast enough that it can be picked mid game

ante 3-4 runner still scales enough

[exotic silo]

black deck orange stake, I got Campfire, so I thought I'd also buy Astronomer so I can get free planets and sell them for Campfire, only to never get a single planet card in shop for the rest of the run

what are the odds

[calm furnace]

but there are those evil seeds that bait a straight and never give it to you

i had an ante 1 runner that i couldnt scale and eventually lost because i tried to force a straight

[exotic silo]

tbf Runner isn't really an incentive to go all-in with Straight

[calm furnace]

i remember drawing 7-8-9-10 and the game refusing to draw a jack or 6

[calm furnace]

you never go straights on a runner

[echo sphinx]

runners a minigame joker

[calm furnace]

unless you wanna do it for the lols

you can safely stop playing straights by the 10th one at 150 chips

or push it to 200 range

[exotic silo]

Runner is still a good joker, you get some chips by a few stray straights and just go back to your go-to hand of choice that isn't straight

[calm furnace]

runner is great not good. its one of the best jokers you can find

2nd best chip joker after Wee

[cloud sinew]

i wouldnt say so

[pale wolf]

stuntman

[bronze maple]

eh

[calm furnace]

scaling

[pale wolf]

you didnt say that

[echo sphinx]

wee

wait we is mentioned

bull

[heavy heron]

bull

[calm furnace]

yeah i didnt

but its implied in the context of the conversation that its abouts scaling chips

[cloud sinew]

nah

[bronze maple]

no not really ;-;

[pale wolf]

bull is another answer but its an argument for sure

[cloud sinew]

square > runner > wee > .. imo

[errant brook]

First real run of the day, 4 new gold stickers for mobile C++. Starting to run out of decent jokers I haven’t won on gold stake with though. Approaching “Win exclusively with PhotoChad or Obelisk and carey other junk to the end” territory

[pale wolf]

in what, volume of winning runs?

I'd take wee over square or runner if they were next to eachother any day at any stage of the game

[calm furnace]

wee is absurd

[pale wolf]

unless i had like, no A or 2 on erratic

[cloud sinew]

that's concerning

[calm furnace]

a pair of 2s is worth more than a straight with runner

[heavy heron]

same

wee beats square any day

[cloud sinew]

you have money considerations, consistency considerations, the jokers you have right now, etc

[bronze maple]

and a single 2 with a single retrigger

[echo sphinx]

wee is literally two square proc

i would make a comparison to castle

[calm furnace]

chad wee is insanity

and hack

[tranquil oyster]

runner is gigabusted imo, it's like 80% of the reason straights are still viable.
square is kinda the opposite, if pairs were balanced it would be complete dog.

[bronze maple]

planet cards

[pale wolf]

and in nearly all of those situations wee is still better

[exotic silo]

I am assuming you also typically never destroy or convert 2s in anticipation to Wee

[heavy heron]

“if they were next to each other at any stage of the game” yup; i don’t really see a situation where i’d take a square over wee

unless i… hung 2s??

[calm furnace]

aint no universe were square is better than wee

[pale wolf]

i do for sure

[calm furnace]

you hang the 2s when you got a straihgt build. and a straight build doesnt need wee

[pale wolf]

even if i hung a 2 already i take wee

maybe not two 2s

[calm furnace]

i mean if you can still play a pair of 2s wee is still better than square and runner

[cloud sinew]

wee costs $8, square costs $4, so you actually need to have $8+ and that money needs to be better spent on wee over square and just keeping it for interest etc.
wee requires you to draw and score 2s, square is +4 every hand unless youre against specific boss blinds, so if you need short-term scoring fairly consistently then wee is worse

[calm furnace]

16 chips

[pale wolf]

its also that i dont need to restrict my deck digging ability at all

runner and square both harm that

[cloud sinew]

you do

[pale wolf]

no i dont

i just said i dont

[calm furnace]

wait do we only have castle square runner and wee as scaling chips?

[cloud sinew]

unless you're playing pairs+ of 2s always, or you have splash, then yes you do

[heavy heron]

well you get double scaling (on average) so it costs double; makes sense…

[calm furnace]

or im forgetting someone

and bull

[heavy heron]

and yea you have money consideration sure

[calm furnace]

only 5?

[pale wolf]

i can full send for wee ranks and not worry about whats left behind whatsoever

[heavy heron]

but i’d say that $4 is 99% not a difference in decision making for whether i take that wee or not

[echo sphinx]

bros typing an essay to convince us 4 chips per hand is better ahn 8 per rank of 2

[bronze maple]

not really
theres plenty of other ranks to remove

[echo sphinx]

4 per hand is bad lol

[cloud sinew]

what

i dont think you understand what i mean

[bronze maple]

it barely impacts any restrictions on deck fixing

[cloud sinew]

2s being the lowest rank means you either need to play pairs+ of 2s, or have splash, for it to not decrease your deck drawing

[cloud sinew]

not DECK FIXING

deck DIGGING

[bronze maple]

oh I'm blind

[pale wolf]

how is splash relevant
if i dont draw a pair of 2s in discards i just play the high card 2 (assuming its survivable bla bla bla)
idk how it could possibly affect how many cards i can dig

[bronze maple]

yeah

[calm furnace]

also even with the -1 discard, i find castle to almost always be sufficient provided i pick it early enough

[cloud sinew]

the high card 2 means youre played 4 fewer cards than you otherwise could

[heavy heron]

what exactly am i digging for anyway besides 2s? you want me looking for blue seals when im running wee? LOOLLL

gold sure whatever

[bronze maple]

like any other carda could be removed

[pale wolf]

but i didnt have to do that lol

[echo sphinx]

@cloud sinew theres no amounnt of argument that can upscale square enough to beat 8 chips per 2

[cloud sinew]

you did to score the 2

just as you don't have to play 4 cards for square to give chips, but you do to actually scale it.

[heavy heron]

seriously though like who cares if you dig less because of wee?

[echo sphinx]

u dig less with square not wee

[cloud sinew]

then "who cares if you dig less because of square"

[calm furnace]

also saying that wee is more expensive is crazy work when you are paying a dollar each time for 4 chips with square

[heavy heron]

i’m entertaining her argument for second

[echo sphinx]

oki

[heavy heron]

yup agreed

my precious gold ig..

[iron vigil]

Yall think if The Idol changed every hand and picked one from a selection of cards you have in your hand, it would be an actually viable joker?

[spring radish]

if yall are bored of doing golde stake over and over again you could consider doing 2v2 :P https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1496164475177402409

[echo sphinx]

if it picked from held in hand it would be pretty strong yes

[pale wolf]

change every hand
yes pls
from hand
fuck no

[iron vigil]

yeah i was debating

[cloud sinew]

how is it "crazy work"? i'm arguing against them saying they would take wee over square or runner in every single situation if they had a choice between them.

[pale wolf]

it would be absurd

[spring radish]

imagine playing down for dusk and idol not hitting on last hand

[pale wolf]

idolchad would be the new meme

[iron vigil]

right cause then it would be better than trib

[iron vigil]

pain

[calm furnace]

because wee is not that more expensive when you factor in chips per dollar cost

[pale wolf]

ironically no different from current idol though

[heavy heron]

if $4 is stopping you from taking a wee but not a square, you prob got bigger problems man… i get that $4 is a big deal but for smth with such high pay out?

[frank grove]

the beginning of the pairless abandoned streak (hopefully 😭) 🔥

[pale wolf]

same chance to miss, just one is right before the hand and one is before the round entirely

[cloud sinew]

it's $4 more which means there are situations where you can buy one but not the other

[echo sphinx]

wee's things:
8 chips per 2
downside: u have to score 2

square's things:
4 chips per hand
downside: lowered digging power, costs more $ to match (probably the most expensive chip scaling joker tbh)

[pale wolf]

bull?

🤔

since you can't spend the money

[echo sphinx]

true but thikn of it like this

[calm furnace]

yeah cant buy wee first shop if it shows up and sometimes its more awkaward to buy

[echo sphinx]

your interest is automatically maxed

[calm furnace]

but it offsets its cost by how cheap the chip scaling is

[echo sphinx]

and u dont have to burn hands

[frank grove]

okay 😭

[spring radish]

it would be way more devastating ngl

[calm furnace]

pairslop lets gooo

[echo sphinx]

iirc square is the most expensive chip scaling joker

[frank grove]

this a pairless profile im straightgeming here

[calm furnace]

do we only really have 5 scaling chip jokers in the entire game?

[echo sphinx]

3oakmaxxing?

[echo sphinx]

lemme count

[heavy heron]

yes

[cloud sinew]

no

[calm furnace]

bull castle square wee runner

[echo sphinx]

Hiker
Castle
wee
square
bull

[cloud sinew]

runner

[calm furnace]

oh hiker 💀

[echo sphinx]

ohright

[heavy heron]

hiker.. right

[pale wolf]

perhaps emotionally, but not statistically

[heavy heron]

hiker…

[echo sphinx]

thats probably it

6 chippers

[cloud sinew]

that is it unless you count blue joker

[frank grove]

i got madness next shop its straight time 🔥

[pale wolf]

overall idol would be much more consistent because you generally only need one non-specific hand to win

[calm furnace]

oh yeah blue is technically scaling

so 7

[echo sphinx]

lol real

[calm furnace]

no wonder foil jokers feel so good 😭

[cloud sinew]

im not counting "technically", if you dont feel like it is scaling then don't count it

[pale wolf]

can we count burnt Joker

[echo sphinx]

it is scaling but in practice its not scaling at all

[cloud sinew]

like supernova isnt "technically" scaling but it's vibes based as a scaler

[pale wolf]

ple

[echo sphinx]

sure

[calm furnace]

and spaceman

[lime remnant]

imagine the most common wheel hit isnt foil but holo

[echo sphinx]

tho burnt oker opens for spaceman

[pale wolf]

sorry I'm designating space as value gen

[calm furnace]

omg no

[cloud sinew]

that would be fine

[pale wolf]

It's totally arbitrary

[echo sphinx]

lol that would be om

[night turret]

I love it when i accidentally get photo Chad lol

[cloud sinew]

burnt being scaling but space being value gen is just contradictory

[echo sphinx]

feels fucked om

[calm furnace]

if space was 1/4 to generate a planet card of played hand then i see it being a value gen

but it straight up scales the hand like burnt

[echo sphinx]

space and burnt are one and the same

just different ways to achieve it

[heavy heron]

not quite

you can’t do burnt flushes (usually) but you can do space flushes

[cloud sinew]

yes you can

ty

[echo sphinx]

just discard a flush

[heavy heron]

uh huh

[calm furnace]

you can do burnt anything if you are brave enoguh

[echo sphinx]

burnt strush 🔥

[calm furnace]

(i lost today forcing a burnt venus run)

[lime remnant]

wasting all hand so we can discard the winning hand is

a god tier joker

meta

[echo sphinx]

gosh my mobile acc is never recovering from that one strush run

my neptune is still third 😭

[heavy heron]

i want to see someone go burnt straights without shortcut or 4 fingers on 52 card

[exotic silo]

just lost a black deck orange stake run with 5 uncommons and a baseball card and Straights, they were not enough as scoring options on top of Violet Vessel looming

had a decent level Straight that I did draw consistently too

[lime remnant]

i did that and ofc its for plasma

cancer deck

[heavy heron]

oh then you’d get away w it because you don’t need straights to win

you can discard straight then still win anyway

w your odd todd cards or smth..

[echo sphinx]

pair pivot into straights is certainly a choice

i pair pivot into flush and then back into pair

[cloud sinew]

it's normally fine.
6x planet scaling means you can catch up very quick

[lime remnant]

it was white stake does white stake count 😂

[exotic silo]

maybe with Merry Andy if you insist on no Shortcut/Four Fingers

[echo sphinx]

cant escape pairslop

[heavy heron]

always counts ❤️

[lime remnant]

merry andy with burnt folk 😂

[heavy heron]

white stake lives matter

jesus that sounds horrible nvm

[exotic silo]

😭😭

[echo sphinx]

fair

[exotic silo]

i don't understand this though lol

[heavy heron]

-1 hand size on straights..

[exotic silo]

3 discards should make it at least even

[lime remnant]

-1 size and merry andy doesnt really help burnt?

[heavy heron]

IDK…

[versed sable]

red card is at +21 and i have no levels
thoughts?

[heavy heron]

no merry wouldn’t work

[lime remnant]

oh wait

[heavy heron]

because

[echo sphinx]

merry andy is another pairslop joker

[heavy heron]

1st discard

has to make it work

[cloud sinew]

troub would, merry wouldnt

[cloud sinew]

immolate

[echo sphinx]

u need something to undo the downside

[echo sphinx]

b u r n

[cloud sinew]

+3 mult is not worth -$20 and +5 cards

[heavy heron]

both are valid here

[lime remnant]

wait wait do you mean like discard the first straight and then use the extra discard to find another straight? @exotic silo

[heavy heron]

the decision being trance or immolate, not skipping

[echo sphinx]

can a staright even be drawn by using hands to redraw cards

[exotic silo]

yeah

in hindsight, not a great strat but it would kind of work

[cloud sinew]

finding the first straight with -1 handsize would be quite hard

[echo sphinx]

at that point just put the troubadour in the bag

[lime remnant]

doubt that but its something?

[cloud sinew]

yes

but not reliably

[echo sphinx]

troubadour makes your life so much easier

[rustic haven]

so i continued this run from early where i got a shop 1 vaga and took odd todd for scoring but my judgement hits were kinda nuts

😭

[calm furnace]

chad has given me 80 bucks with lucky cards

live love chad

[echo sphinx]

holy fuck

[rustic haven]

RIGHT

[echo sphinx]

fortune teller maxxing

[night turret]

Odd Todd for scoring not on plasma?

[rustic haven]

dawg i have no planet levels

[lime remnant]

chips are strong....

[rustic haven]

only flat mult

[echo sphinx]

rip

[calm furnace]

100 bucks now

[rustic haven]

im relying on lucky procs and steel

going into the hook

[night turret]

Wow you must really want black board huh

[rustic haven]

so i needed something

[lime remnant]

boh are you doing baron chud

[rustic haven]

hell no

😭

[lime remnant]

sonnn why so many king

💀

[exotic silo]

lmfao I am so gonna die

[echo sphinx]

black deck shenanigans

[night turret]

I
Mean better then marble

[lime remnant]

sell invis and gamble everything on big blind

trust

[echo sphinx]

black deck is so fuckn bad it needs to be buffed

[heavy heron]

it’s always marble

[echo sphinx]

i doubt blue stake rework is saving it

[cloud sinew]

sells for $4

[heavy heron]

or copies rebate in next shop

trust

[lime remnant]

maybe instead of less hand it could use less discard?

[echo sphinx]

ok i have a silly idea

black deck starts with Jimbo

[heavy heron]

that works

that sounds really good honestly

[exotic silo]

So, there was a Credit Card in the shop, so I took the gamble in case I get a crazy run, but no jokers showed up on the next shop lmfao, oh well

[cloud sinew]

🥀

[lime remnant]

black deck shenanigans

[calm furnace]

another money shot

[exotic silo]

tbf I don't really care about win streaking as long as the runs are fun

[heavy heron]

make it eternal

[lime remnant]

lucky money shot is the best dopamine hit

[heavy heron]

so the +1 joker slot is cancelled out

[rustic haven]

just happened

[echo sphinx]

gng whats the whole point of black deck

[heavy heron]

you get to play with a pretty black deck

[rustic haven]

got a mega spectral shop 1 with vagabond

[calm furnace]

ANOTHER

god chat is godlike

[rustic haven]

and i got deja vu cryptid

[lime remnant]

atp we js playing gold deck but with money converted to jimbo

yellow deck sorry

[exotic silo]

Speaking of

[heavy heron]

ayyyyyy

easiest take of your life

[echo sphinx]

fist is so goated

even when i know nothing i think fist is good

[heavy heron]

if it wasn’t for fist, i honestly would consider taking it

LOOLLL

[heavy heron]

fist is so strong

[exotic silo]

yeah fist is just way better lol

[lime remnant]

if it was foil i would deffo take both

foil jimbo

[heavy heron]

it single-handedly can make steel your x mult

for the whole run

as long as you find some chips and/or levels

[echo sphinx]

yesh

[exotic silo]

fist synergizing with in-hand effects is great

[lime remnant]

even fist alone is great

[rustic haven]

lol....

fucking stalker

[rustic haven]

i swear

[heavy heron]

fist run

[rustic haven]

shows up everywhere but my naneinf runs

like okay

[echo sphinx]

it is calling for you

[rustic haven]

ur not the leader

[lime remnant]

then savescum

[rustic haven]

:(

[lime remnant]

i am

[calm furnace]

save scumming is absolutely halal with ankh

the only times im save scumming are with ankh or invis

[versed sable]

i'd save scum in endless or if it's like
"idk if i have to play my blue seal for a better hand, and save scumming is faster than using a calculator"

if it's rng check on gold stake then nah save scumming feels cheap

[calm furnace]

save scumming on hands?

[versed sable]

play hand and pause just before the score actually goes through

[lime remnant]

i do that when i dont wanna pull calc

[calm furnace]

i thought it saves progress after played hand

[lime remnant]

i never savescum on wheel 🔥

[versed sable]

again, i can either
pull out a calculator and put in all the relevant info
or just save scum which takes about ten seconds

[versed sable]

well yes but if you don't let the hand finish scoring you're fine

[calm furnace]

how do you see the score then?

[lime remnant]

it wouldnt until the score anim actually finishes

like

until it gets added to your total score

[calm furnace]

oh i guess on pc its doable

[versed sable]

like this ^^

[calm furnace]

alt f4

on mobile sometimes i save scum when i fat finger and play a wrong hand

sometimes it works

sometimes i reopen the game and it calculated the hand

[rustic haven]

baron.

[lime remnant]

om

it feels weird seeing reduced motion

[lime remnant]

bbc think he part of the team 😂

[versed sable]

endless player
no way am i seeing my score mid hand unless i turn on reduced motion

[pale wolf]

The save point is once you draw all of the cards for the next hand

[rustic haven]

where my mime >:(

fern spawn in my mime pls

[pale wolf]

A lot of the savescum save points are tied to all the cards returning to deck/ hand

[heavy heron]

it was a high card build after all i guess…

[rustic haven]

[misty tartan]

i have 149 jokers discovered

trying to find the legendary to finish the collection

[rustic haven]

all held in hand abilities retrigger

[honest quiver]

i mean what does retrigger mean

[frank grove]

retriggers held in hand stuff. stuff like stm, fist, blue seals, parking, baron, steel

[misty tartan]

for example your steel will give you 1.5x two times

[honest quiver]

oohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[lime remnant]

[misty tartan]

im trying to go for steel red seal baron

+the spectral crypt ofc

[rustic haven]

i doubt youll find a perkeo

[misty tartan]

you never know

[icy turret]

??? Matador doesnt trigger on tooth wtf

[rustic haven]

best way is bean bug for ecto repeats and burger

burglar

i cant say burger bc u wont know what im talking abt

😭

and you have to get to ante 25/26 and use the serpent boss

[lime remnant]

burger snake

[misty tartan]

uhh i mean my best was with a burglar yup

[rustic haven]

bean burger

[rustic haven]

what ante

[misty tartan]

can i see somewhere? im not sure

[rustic haven]

[lime remnant]

burger snake is fine too but bean burger is better if you can get it to work

[rustic haven]

stats highest ante

[misty tartan]

😭

[pale wolf]

canon

[lime remnant]

holy shit im almost c++

[rustic haven]

challenges for last is so real

i still havent done a challenge

ngl

[misty tartan]

omg same

[pale wolf]

i dont see the point in playing challenges on subsequent profiles

[lime remnant]

i already did challenge on my test profile so i save it for later in this prof

[rustic haven]

fair

[bleak hemlock]

PLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLS

i want to trib

FAAAH

its chickoy

chot

[pale wolf]

hurray

[lime remnant]

test prof is so trash ngl

[bleak hemlock]

the no blind mf

[lime remnant]

chkt

[bleak hemlock]

choke me

wait wrong server

[pale wolf]

chicot be like what if balatro was easier and worse

[lime flare]

When the hell this game getting an update

[pale wolf]

someday

[lime flare]

Oh so never

[bleak hemlock]

one of these days

[pale wolf]

it will

[bleak hemlock]

maybe before 2030?

[pale wolf]

but also why is a single player game so expected to have an update

[lime remnant]

before 2050

[bleak hemlock]

uh

[pale wolf]

its a strange environment, video gaming these days

[bleak hemlock]

more content?

balance?

qol changes?

[misty tartan]

photos gone right

[lime remnant]

people being spoiled 🔥

[bleak hemlock]

fr

[pale wolf]

the game is released as designed, I find it strange that people think they are owed/ expect additional content

[bleak hemlock]

well

theres nuance

[pale wolf]

It's not like this is a live service game

[bleak hemlock]

you can hope for update

[frank grove]

people expect every game to be an early access live service thing

[bleak hemlock]

and we know ones coming

so

[bleak hemlock]

why?

[lime remnant]

mf expecting finished game more updates 😄

[bleak hemlock]

i mean

[misty tartan]

dna?

[bleak hemlock]

yeh photo aint doing a lot

[misty tartan]

it does but dna is better

[bleak hemlock]

i didnt see 💀

yeh take dna

[pale wolf]

I mean we definitely are getting an update and we've had progress reports from thunk hinting at what will be in it, but it really is odd how many people don't know about that and still just have the basic expectation that there must be an update coming

[bleak hemlock]

it aint that deep 😭 , they just asked

[pale wolf]

i also just asked

not specifically about them

[lime remnant]

why are we dna on trib build

[bleak hemlock]

glass

[lime remnant]

oh right i was thinking about pivoting to baron

[simple escarp]

LETS GO GAMBLING

[pale wolf]

bro bought magic trick

[bleak hemlock]

dont we all

💀

[bleak hemlock]

LOUD BUZZER

"dammit"

[pale wolf]

wheres the gambling

[simple escarp]

Wdym where's the gambling, one wrong bottomdeck and its over

[bleak hemlock]

god i love being the bottomdeck

[pale wolf]

uuuh sure i guess

[lime remnant]

mega unoptimal and deck fix on 1 suit 😂

[bleak hemlock]

wait wrong server AGAIN

LETS GO GAMBLING

[lime remnant]

just like flush god intended

[simple escarp]

I cant even deck fix

[pale wolf]

i never die from bottom decking every relevant AJ card tbh

[simple escarp]

Ancient is fully random

[pale wolf]

you can still make the deck smaller and add wilds

[simple escarp]

Sure

[bleak hemlock]

wild cards + ancient is like

one of my fav builds

its so fun

[lime remnant]

i got 8 ball to work once

it was fun

it was rare

[bleak hemlock]

I got seance to work once

chaching

[frank grove]

ive got 8 ball to work so much, i love 8 ball

[simple escarp]

Seance is the goat wdym

[gentle basalt]

And then you get hit by one of the many boss blinds

That debuff your cards

[patent sail]

game REALLY just gave me baron, troubadour and mime in one shop and expected me to not do it

[pale wolf]

average 8ball game

[lime remnant]

i never got seance to work i just pick it up and give it free sticker lmao

[bleak hemlock]

well ye

it has issues

but its a lot of fun too

[patent sail]

(i died ante 6 due to not drawing my kings)

[lime remnant]

8 ball with vamp why didnt i think of this

i always fixate on 8 ball retriggers

[pale wolf]

Any tarot gen with vamp

[frank grove]

i was looking through my ss and saw this stupid ass run i did once 😭

[pale wolf]

is busted

[frank grove]

rental baseball with NOTHING 😭

[lime remnant]

yes but i didnt see jt for some reason

[patent sail]

it was there for comedic value

to cheer up the team

[lime remnant]

it was for sticker trust

[frank grove]

i did have trousers at some point but it was rental and i had to sell it for roll value for the trib sadly 💔

[patent sail]

its sheer aura carried the score

[rugged bloom]

Just beat Black, Blue, and Purple stakes on Yellow consecutively

[lime remnant]

now lets beat cancer stake

[pale wolf]

I'm so confused

why do you only have four Jokers

[lime remnant]

uhh

crimson?

oh wqit

[pale wolf]

🦓

[lime remnant]

not leaf

[pale wolf]

exactly, crimson

[rugged bloom]

I just said I beat Blue Stake

[lime remnant]

now im confused too

[lime remnant]

uhm ok?

[pale wolf]

probably just didn't matter

[lime remnant]

do i have to cheer

[pale wolf]

trib 4oak clears

[lime remnant]

yeah it clears but like

[patent sail]

i just got a double poly stencil run destroyed by needle

[lime remnant]

could have been another sticker

[patent sail]

because i didnt draw my straight 😭😭😭😭

[pale wolf]

i see nothing indicating stickering

people stickering usually have them visible

[patent sail]

if i had a nickel for every straights run destroyed by ante 7 needle id be a millionaire

[lime remnant]

maybe he turned it offf or some

or im just too c++ rotted

[dawn summit]

this is one of the many reasons why pairs are the only real hand

[bleak atlas]

yes

obv

u have trib

[lime remnant]

pair proceed to not score enough

fire

[dawn summit]

skill issue unfortunately

[lime remnant]

sonnn

[patent sail]

i love straights but needle destroys every single run with them

[pale wolf]

pairs die more to needle than straight tho

[patent sail]

not even through score, i just dont draw the straight and explode 🐎🔥

[frank grove]

i am very biased, but i dont die to late needle with straights that often its usually early needle kills straight runs

[pale wolf]

needle for straights is just take a strength into the round

[patent sail]

and more often than not a drawn straight woulf overscore the needle by 10x

[vale shale]

I was dead this ante btw.

[frank grove]

if i die to ante 7 needle on straights im doing something wrong with deck building

[vale shale]

Snb clutch

[rugged bloom]

the joke i'm making is that blue stake is cancer

[dawn summit]

i meant the inability to draw but i replied weird

[pale wolf]

I mean that is true but it's not super relevant to the needle

[patent sail]

i will never deny that actually but

insanely frustrating because EVERY single time its ante 7 needle

[lime remnant]

if blue is cancer then gold might as well be the black plague

[dawn summit]

gold is fun

[pale wolf]

gold stake is fine

purple stake is the big difficulty bump and Blue stake is the variety muter

[frank grove]

yeha

gold doesnt really do all that much

[lime remnant]

so maybe chicken pox

added to cancer

[pale wolf]

blue stake is like if nebula deck was a stake

[patent sail]

also yeah i was looking for that

all money rerolled and NOTHING

[pale wolf]

hmmm

[patent sail]

skill issue? yea

[lime remnant]

if it was old gs would it be the black plague

[patent sail]

im still frustrated tho

[torpid notch]

oh i had a round like this yesterday

[rugged wasp]

what do i do

[pale wolf]

what would you discard to draw a straight

[rugged wasp]

2s and ace

[simple escarp]

5 is useless in that case

[rugged wasp]

just in case u pull 6 and 4

[dusty valve]

Bro I really need hanging chad but I don’t know which joker to replace

[rugged wasp]

5 could chain jsut less likely

[pale wolf]

cya baron

[lime remnant]

gotta love the moment i dont play gs

[simple escarp]

Yeah but thats less card discarded

[pale wolf]

perishable

[dusty valve]

Fair

If

Ig*

[torpid notch]

the 2s and the ace no?

[rugged bloom]

Relatively speaking in terms of jumps of difficulty from the previous stake, gold stake is the least punishing

Also yes you're correct

[stark charm]

Oh shoot the moon

[lime remnant]

what if i hit the 40% and it comes clean

[stark charm]

Gg I guess

[rugged bloom]

the black plague can be easily cured nowadays with some antibiotics

🤓

[rugged wasp]

anyone know if i should take invis for smth?

[lime remnant]

oh right

[stark charm]

Just buy antibiotics shield , have you played plague inc?

[rugged bloom]

Um do you mean Bacterial Resilience

☝️ 🤓

[simple escarp]

What mult on the cat

[pale wolf]

I would also throw the 5
also I'm realizing I only put seven cards there instead of eight so this didn't really demonstrate exactly what I wanted

[stark charm]

Plague inc specific black plague scenario

[rugged bloom]

i don't play official scenarios

[pale wolf]

for straights, you always prioritize throwing five cards unless you already have an open ended 4 card run

[stark charm]

It is either drug resistance 3 or antibiotics shield I don't remember

[lime remnant]

prolly hope for queen high straight

jack high is ok

[stark charm]

I usually play cure mode

[torpid notch]

but like who knows like the 10 has the same use case as the 5

plus depends how many discards i have

[pale wolf]

because it's twice the number of chips

[simple escarp]

Ik that the name in french is bacterial shell

[rustic haven]

which deck should i gold stake next

[knotty zodiac]

yep all the time rip

[rugged bloom]

i don't have cure mode or the aliens dlc

[torpid notch]

fair enough

[stark charm]

Do black stake

[rustic haven]

gng what

[rugged wasp]

honestly that depends on whats in the deck in my opinion. if there is still many 6 and 4s but not many 9s in there i would prob keep the five

[rustic haven]

do u mean black deck

[stark charm]

Yep

[rustic haven]

alr

why not

get the pain over with now

even tho i have to do it twice

should change my name

[pale wolf]

obviously it's assuming a base deck, Don't throw cards looking for a straight that doesn't exist anymore in your deck (obviously)

[rustic haven]

dam

whats the joker

that

lets u make straights with 1 rank gaps

[minor portal]

Shortcut

[rustic haven]

yea

[vale shale]

This is so funny

Gotta take ecto doe

[rustic haven]

nat negative shortcut

imagine

[rustic haven]

but the perkeo

[simple escarp]

Either everything but ace 2 4 5 or 4 5 7 8 depending on what's left in the deck

[vale shale]

Nat neg perkeo lmk

[rustic haven]

😭

[vestal forge]

sell rebate bruh take the perkeo

[pale wolf]

you should keep 10 8 7 and throw the rest

[vale shale]

You know what run's dead anyway I'll be a lad

[simple escarp]

Thats depends a lot on the situation too, if u have a lot of discards left sure why not going for more chips

[rustic haven]

W

[vale shale]

I got nat neg perkeo

[rustic haven]

LMFAO

[pale wolf]

searching for a single rank with 3 or 4 card draws ends up being worse than searching for any straight that has the remaining 3 ranks, by throwing 5 card draws

[rustic haven]

here we go...

[pale wolf]

i.e. holding 45 78 hoping for 6 is a lost cause

[knotty zodiac]

what if you have 35679xxx

[pale wolf]

the xxx does matter but lets assume theyre stone or something, i keep 567

[simple escarp]

I mean, isn't it even worse to hold the 7 8 10 since it requires u to draw specifically a 9 and then either a jack or a 6 ?

[pale wolf]

You have more chances to draw the cards you need when you're throwing more cards away

[simple escarp]

Oh yeah forgot bout that

[pale wolf]

if you watch doc in a straight game you can see the drawing patterns

but it's pretty rare for him to rely on straight as a scoring option

normally if he's playing straights it's just a scale runner and he's not drawing specifically for them

[knotty zodiac]

lets say 35679qqk. common scenario for me.

so you wouldnt keep the 9

[rustic haven]

k.

[pale wolf]

priority is on throwing 5 cards, keeping the most connected 3
so yeah

[simple escarp]

The game is lowk ragebaiting u atp

[vale shale]

gg e15 last hand

[tranquil cedar]

wheel doing something?

[knotty zodiac]

i see, so the goal is to get to connected 4 then connected 5

does it change anything if there's only one 3 and one 9 left to draw?

[vale shale]

Omg I thought that said Piano

[tranquil cedar]

LMAO

piano joker

[pale wolf]

I think that circumstance only makes the draw I specified even better

if you don't draw for the straight that you already have some ranks in, you would basically just have to draw for an ace High straight

[knotty zodiac]

im not grasping this intuitively but maybe i just need some sleep

[ebon condor]

heres my question

if youre playing full houses and have the 3oak already but not the pair is it better to discard 4 or 5

[pale wolf]

5 i believe

[ebon condor]

(assuming holding a card you have 3 of)

[pale wolf]

it can depend on deck composition

but on a base draw im pretty sure you just throw 5

[vale ivy]

every single second i spend playing purple stake makes me want to rip someone's spine out
