i can mess this up.

[humble gulch]

Chicot is a free win

Is this GSG

[pale wolf]

no

[humble gulch]

🐑

Is it just another C++ profile?

[fading dome]

I believe in you Zebra, you can mess this up 👏

[viral raft]

"CAN"

😭

[warm wedge]

why i fucking hate oragne stake

[viral raft]

Looks inside...

[serene forge]

punished for using photochad

[warm wedge]

butttt buttt i was just trying to have some fun

[fading dome]

In that case call me a sinner

[serene forge]

having fun and photochad is an oxymoron

[warm wedge]

doesnt mean it doesnt exist

[viral raft]

"some fun" and is playing on high stakes

[serene forge]

I think gold stake is fun tho

[viral raft]

yeah but he's playing high stakes without knowing at all

no offense

[warm wedge]

not high stakes, im trying to get c+

[viral raft]

good luck in your C+ road

[warm wedge]

i got c today, so im working on it, starting iwht red

[fading dome]

Good luck 🫡

[humble gulch]

Honestly I stopped finding fun all the stakes below gold, except black

[viral raft]

that's neat, try to see how to manage to play with the stuff that they gave you

consistensy is key in this game

[hearty tusk]

Run it back?

[knotty zodiac]

"simply finish gsg!"

i think i have a skill issue ><

[fading dome]

I'm assuming you've won this run btw?

[pale wolf]

not yet

but likely

[fading dome]

Aw man I thought I got the timing right haha

[warm wedge]

hmm just me rerolling till i get a good start

[pale wolf]

reference for myself

👍

[lament condor]

balatro doesn't need new jokers

maybe like 1-2

or a group of 5 jokers who synergies with eachother

[pale wolf]

im hoping itll be at least a few dozen

wtf

this is a stickering run too

[fading dome]

Thunk has said he wanted to add more jokers to "force" the player to be more consistent (my rephrasing)

[pale wolf]

its canio, unstickered

incredible

[warm wedge]

eww canio

[modest snow]

on gold stake itll always give you a legendary that doesnt have a gold sticker

[pale wolf]

only for the first one

[modest snow]

oh interesting

[pale wolf]

subsequent souls arent filtered for

[modest snow]

i would assume it would always do it

i guess not

[pale wolf]

it doesn't actually change the way the game works, it filters the seed

[modest snow]

oh cool

i thought it changed the soul card, not filtered the seed

[fading dome]

^ Because seed replayability is important

[modest snow]

good to know

[pale wolf]

except for like all of the unlockable jokers but thats different or something

[viral raft]

what do i choose???
Peak (skip and get +3 mult)
Peak (Magician for Lucky cat value)
Peak (Justice for Glass joker)

imo justice

[humble gulch]

It just acts like you already have that joker

Ignoring showman's effect

[knotty zodiac]

is extra hand scaling a primary concern for you when deciding about hieroglyph?

[fading dome]

True.... I don't think that's fixable though (unless you'd somehow designate certain seed ranges for when you have specific unlocks?)

[serene forge]

lmfao

[fading dome]

Go for peak

[humble gulch]

Just uninstall Reddit ❤️‍🩹

[serene forge]

true

[pale wolf]

we'd need a loooot more seeds, thats for sure

[fading dome]

dang you really wrote a whole 5 paragraph comment on that

[fading dome]

Oh yeah it's a horrendous unfeasible approach lmao

[pale wolf]

its a consideration

[viral raft]

Peak alert

i love Lucky cat and Glass joker

[fading dome]

you do be spittin facts tho

[knotty zodiac]

break glass in case of emergency for the sick xmult

[pale wolf]

hell yea

[knotty zodiac]

i wonder if balatro streamers collectively have a negative impact on ppl's winrates

[viral raft]

100%

roffle make alot of players play face builds

[pale wolf]

the question is do i just take the card sharp win when it's free with chico

[viral raft]

the only one that doesn't impact negatively is probably doc

[fading dome]

Wouldn't a lot of them also positively impact ppl's winrates?

[serene forge]

yes

absolutely

[pale wolf]

maybe belenos

[serene forge]

there's one drspectred and more than one of everyone else

[knotty zodiac]

absolutely. i'm saying we sum the impact and evaluate

[fading dome]

Fair. I think as a whole, streamers/youtubers make users play better. Just learning the amount of collective knowledge from streams/videos is insane

[frank grove]

I think the avg balatro player sees baron/idol videos/clips and goes for that, like overall theres a lot more people wanting to just get a big number instead of streak gs

[heady grove]

oh alright ty

[viral raft]

I LOVE GLAAAASS

GLASS IS SO PEAK

[pale wolf]

i chose to sticker marble joker instead of trading card joker

[humble gulch]

I never liked going for higscores on anything, I'll always choose skill over stats

[knotty zodiac]

ya i might be overstating the negative impact from the meme builds. i do think i learned a lot from watching balatro content but i did have to unlearn a good amount here and there

[viral raft]

fair enough, Trading have more situations to work with

[serene forge]

average player is probably hardstuck on blue stake or something

[modest snow]

good choice

[knotty zodiac]

it's a fair point, a majority of balatro players probably don't even care about their winrate. i think the game is purposely designed so that there's less pressure to avoid losing (compared to, say, slay the spire)

[serene forge]

think about how bad the average player on reddit is and consider the fact that they're probably above average because the average person isn't going onto reddit for games 😭

[humble gulch]

In Cloverpit winning is basically the side quest ❤️‍🩹

[fading dome]

Yeah... I think those suboptimal plays are still not that bad though, compared to what an average player would figure out by themselves

[viral raft]

two wins in a row because of THE GOAT Glass joker <3<3

[knotty zodiac]

all hail glimbo

[humble gulch]

What would be the above average player

[viral raft]

c+?

nono

c++

c+ is the average player imo

[iron vigil]

]

c+ is NOT the average player

[knotty zodiac]

the average player probably has not beat every deck yet on white stake

[viral raft]

why not?

[iron vigil]

.

[humble gulch]

So, green stake?

[viral raft]

the average player is really good

[fading dome]

really???

[tawny bough]

peak

[knotty zodiac]

they probably got to something like red deck green stake, got bored, and fired up rimworld and forgot the game existed

[iron vigil]

LOL

rimworld catching strays

[knotty zodiac]

the server/reddit select for superfanss

[viral raft]

the CURRENT average balatro player, the reason the % are so low is because alot of pleope played the game just a few hours

2025 balatro was filled of larpers ngl

[pale wolf]

that won't change at this point

[serene forge]

rimworld sucks

[viral raft]

true

[knotty zodiac]

no shade, was just picking a random strategy game

could easily be chess or hades or candy crush

[humble gulch]

Rim World is a 10/10

[pale wolf]

9/10 misleading title

[iron vigil]

Yeah I assumed that too lmao, just thought it was funny

[fading dome]

What's "the current average balatro player"? Someone who has played balatro today?

[serene forge]

i should play rimworld again

i played it for like 5 hours last year and haven't touched it since lmfao

[humble gulch]

I mean, if you have cooked attention span it would be like reading two books at the same time ❤️‍🩹

[knotty zodiac]

ig a useful definition would be something like chess.com definition

has played at least one game in the last 90 days

[viral raft]

someone who play atleast a run per week?

[frank grove]

do you guys think more than half of the total player base ever has won at least one run?

[viral raft]

idk, i think the % is lower because alot of players on 2025 just larped the game and never come back

[humble gulch]

Probably yes

[pale wolf]

hurrah

[viral raft]

probably yes but imo the half of player base can't barely win a gold stake consistenly imo

[iron vigil]

damn double legendaries

[fading dome]

That's not a bad metric, I like it

[iron vigil]

good run

[frank grove]

its only 72% on steam

[knotty zodiac]

i think if we don't count ppl who bought the game but never started it, probably

[fading dome]

going by steam achievements, yeah

[pale wolf]

9 wins 43 stickers

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 4

[modest snow]

wow thats crazy good progress

[pale wolf]

4 legendaries meaning only perkeo is left

and guaranteed

[digital pewter]

this is how it was for me lol

[serene forge]

according to playstation only 37% of people have won at least once

65% have reached ante 4 before

[digital pewter]

the great balatro filter

[frank grove]

yeah taking into account consoles and mobile players probbaly makes it closer to 50% havent won a run

[pale wolf]

how many copies are gifts never played tbh

what's the first/most achievement

[frank grove]

reach ante 4

90.2% on steam

[pale wolf]

wow

[modest snow]

76% have reached ante 8 on google play store

90% reached ante 4

[humble gulch]

I still can't believe that my second C++ was like, 40 days ago

[fading dome]

pretty sure steam only takes into account people that have actually launched the game at least once

[hearty tusk]

Run it back one last time

[serene forge]

i just looked up a trophy guide for balatro and it says negative tags are best on anaglyph i'm done

[neon cobalt]

if you aren im braindead dont read this

[fading dome]

for trophies (achievements)? honestly not that bad

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 7

[fading dome]

as general advice? pretty bad

[knotty zodiac]

on ios the average player is at the point between getting their first white stake win and their first red stake win

[neon cobalt]

i got it in 3

[pale wolf]

balatrodle in 3 in 0:20.33

[serene forge]

super blunder

[humble gulch]

Bro

[fading dome]

ah yes, flushes scale well with planet cards

famously, even

[frank grove]

wait they're saying do straight flushes and bloodstone 😭

[knotty zodiac]

this myth prob has killed tons of c++ attempts across the playerbase

[devout wasp]

seance stocks 🆙

[neon cobalt]

reading comprehension 📉

[pale wolf]

somewhat consistently seems pretty good gameplan thanks internet

[weak relic]

Balala

[modest snow]

why tf did you guess ||marble joker ||there?

[serene forge]

she felt like it

[hybrid tendon]

||starts with m||

[devout wasp]

ceterum autem censeo balatronem esse delendam

[modest snow]

||but doesnt fit anything else||

[hybrid tendon]

:p

[modest snow]

oh ok

[hybrid tendon]

balatro

[pale wolf]

matador joker

[hybrid tendon]

madness joker

[viral raft]

with steam % this means than the average player can't barely win against Gold stake VV??

[pale wolf]

you don't need to one shot vv

[modest snow]

what does scoring a million have to do with gold stake

[viral raft]

true

[serene forge]

thats a single hand

[viral raft]

i miss read that mb

[knotty zodiac]

sure, if youve never gotten a million point on a hand ever, its unlikely that you've averaged 300k a hand during a round

[pale wolf]

but yes the average player can barely plasma gold vv

[modest snow]

well plasma gold sucks

[viral raft]

true, to a average player that's really nice to be compared to plasma gold

[fading dome]

The 52% includes people who haven't even played plasma. It's a pretty hard unlock

[tall sapphire]

yes

[knotty zodiac]

the average player has not attempted gold stake

[tall sapphire]

i havent gotten past ante 10 but im have purple stake on red deck

[viral raft]

the average player can't even play consistenly on white stake, what do you expect?

[frank grove]

the avg player hasnt won a red stake run

[viral raft]

tbh you reach ante 8 and that's it you won and you go next run

[hybrid tendon]

I wouldn't expect a cat to win at balatro

[tall sapphire]

i am not a cat

[knotty zodiac]

was kinda subtexting the comments about plasma gold

[hybrid tendon]

that's what a cat would say

[viral raft]

true 😭

[serene forge]

thats something a cat would say

[tall sapphire]

i do play the run for its entirety i think my build just happens to resist until ante 8 and nothing more

[serene forge]

i dont have nitro i cant super snail myself

[viral raft]

i mean that's good, balatro is designed to play until ante 8, that's why we all hate endless

[serene forge]

endless sucks

[viral raft]

yep

i hope they rework it

[knotty zodiac]

ya plenty of players who could have gotten further probably felt satisfied that they beat the game and bounced for something else in life

[viral raft]

add even more unlocks and change the shop when you reach endless

to make it even more fun

[serene forge]

idk how you can make endless interesting

[pale wolf]

my birthday is tomorrow

[frank grove]

i dont think there should be more in endless

[serene forge]

same wtf

[serene forge]

same

[knotty zodiac]

happy early 21st bday zebra

[pale wolf]

i think endless should be slower scaling

[frank grove]

thunk thinks endless scaling should be faster

[hybrid tendon]

I think it should be higher

[pale wolf]

so fewer builds end at the same ante

[viral raft]

are you a Lesbi Hornet alt account?

[pale wolf]

she wishes

[hybrid tendon]

lesbo hornet

[viral raft]

😭

[serene forge]

i think there should not be an endless mode button because runs after ante 8 dont exist

[tawny bough]

what do i even do here

[serene forge]

lesbo for u

[viral raft]

tbh i wish to have the Joker role

[tawny bough]

skip?

[viral raft]

looks so peak

[serene forge]

sell bloodstone

[pale wolf]

idk which is which tbh

[tawny bough]

i LITTERALLY have oops

[serene forge]

i don't care

[viral raft]

Sell shitstone

[pale wolf]

since they added suit roles everyone is special

[viral raft]

i just love the jimbo plushie on the name

[knotty zodiac]

endless in roguelikes is usually a concession to ppl who want to continue their runs, so balance is not a high concern

[tawny bough]

bloodstone hate is justified until it isnt

[serene forge]

bloodstone hate is always justified

[knotty zodiac]

it just needs to be playable

[viral raft]

tbh endless on roguelikes sucks in general

[serene forge]

endless in slay the spire is so bad

[viral raft]

Isaac victory lap is easily one of the most poorly made things ever made on that game

[knotty zodiac]

but a subset of your community will always like it, and usually it doesnt cost too much to add

[tawny bough]

8x multiplier and i kill it for why?

[serene forge]

it uses flush

flush is bad

you dont have a good deck

[viral raft]

yeah, that's why people usually don't talk about it, simply doesn't care.

[tawny bough]

lvl 6 flush rn

[frank grove]

8x mult if you dont bottom deck the hearts flush ever in the game

[serene forge]

if you dont want the stm why did you even ask

tbh

[pale wolf]

balatro player when 1 in 32 chance for not getting 8ball tarot: this is guaranteed
balatro player when 1 in 32 chance to instantly die to bloodstone missing: this will never happen

[lapis blade]

it's simple really if God likes you your bloodstone will always hit duhh

[tawny bough]

yay

[knotty zodiac]

balatro player when 3% event bites them: "im so unlucky"

math: "btw 0.97^24 is about half the time"

[pale wolf]

bloopstone

now the only thing is the 7% or whatever for head

[serene forge]

*you're

[knotty zodiac]

thanks for the redundancy

[lapis blade]

"you speak english because it is the only language you know
i spek english because it is the only language you know
we ar not the same"

[pale wolf]

who tf is barron

[lapis blade]

1.1 new joker

[frank grove]

guys idol is s tier you just need to fully deck fix for it and make sure to still win all the rounds before and hold onto dusk and sock, you just need the build going guys

[knotty zodiac]

it's baron for ppl who hold r

[tawny bough]

well

[warm wedge]

it barrs the ons

[tawny bough]

wait that kills all my econ gg

im dumb

[warm wedge]

no paradolia though

[fringe nebula]

do you even need econ at that point

it's guaranteed ante 8 win (unless you face pillar/the head)

[frank grove]

yeah luckies make up for the econ loss from parking there

[visual salmon]

I think this should be 5> cuz I had a run going with 2 show men and I didn't get it

[viral raft]

...

greed is good?

[lapis blade]

sometimes you just gotta play for fun instead of for optimization

[knotty zodiac]

double skip prob too greedy

[pale wolf]

barron

[viral raft]

what the hell is this?

😭

[pale wolf]

thats barron

i found him

[viral raft]

Zebra, should i be greeder or nah

[hybrid tendon]

double greed

[serene forge]

awaaa

[pale wolf]

you arent guaranteed to win

[warm wedge]

js get 2 stuntman

[viral raft]

just one skip right?

[warm wedge]

not on ant1

[pale wolf]

play small blind is usually

[devout wasp]

if you mean stuntman --- was it a challenge run? because challenge runs can't do unlocks

[knotty zodiac]

assumption is they care about winrate

[warm wedge]

not me

[viral raft]

what if i skip first then i get the money from big blind instead?

big blind is just 450 i guess

[pale wolf]

its just more info + might have jokers for longer

maybe dont even want the tag

[viral raft]

yeah

[frank grove]

yeah i like skipping big blind if i have the choice between the two

knowing if i can beat the boss for sure is usually worth the loss of a couple dollars

[viral raft]

ohhh makes sense

[weak relic]

Uninstall Reddit

Please

[knotty zodiac]

still trying to figure this out TT

[viral raft]

so i'll play baby blind then i'll see if skip big is viable

[pale wolf]

yea the reward money is irrelevant in the face of investment tag stuff to me

[viral raft]

good idea?

[fringe nebula]

no don't

[pale wolf]

Barron

[viral raft]

good

[hybrid tendon]

Barron

[fringe nebula]

reddit has some peak content, r/dadjokes for example

[serene forge]

no i like hurting myself

Barron

[weak relic]

[hybrid tendon]

eveyrone should uninstall reddit

[serene forge]

[pale wolf]

100% authentic banksy

[tall sapphire]

oh my god i didnt know what orange stake did until now

[pale wolf]

?

[tawny bough]

showman=hack, dusk or bloodstone chance

all much better than chad

no?

[hybrid tendon]

showman would actively hurt you

[tawny bough]

thanks

[viral raft]

no offense but are u deadass?

[pale wolf]

i mean i suppose

[tawny bough]

i havent rlly played in almost a year

[pale wolf]

i think chad does more value generation and glass value

[hybrid tendon]

showman is -1 joker for an uncommon that is not garanteed

it's bad

[knotty zodiac]

Trapeze (uncommon)

+10 mult when you score a king and a 7 of different suits in a single hand.

[neon cobalt]

bottom deck of doom and despair

[pale wolf]

more money to roll for blueprint/brainstorm

idk

[viral raft]

Showman= inconsistensy on packs and random garbage on shops.

to make showman works you need ALOT of money, that's why is played on Baronmime naneinf runs, but besides that thingy, most of the time is useless

[tawny bough]

is trading card worth it here?

deck is looking like shit

boo

boom

opened the pack

[pale wolf]

i think i just take the grimbo and forget about misprint stickering

[mild token]

no

but its true

[knotty zodiac]

what do you think about throwback?

[hybrid tendon]

it's not true...

[mild token]

it is

[tawny bough]

definitely isnt

ancient joker glaze is justified

[mild token]

you guys dont get the game

ancient joker is better than bloodstone

[bleak blaze]

Ohhhh

[serene forge]

[weak relic]

Naneinfing on a challenge deck no way

[knotty zodiac]

wanna see some magic?

[pale wolf]

wha

[knotty zodiac]

voucher joke

[timid hill]

The water pisses me off

[pale wolf]

why is everyone trying to MESS with me 🥀

jkjk

[knotty zodiac]

revenge for my smoothbrain not understanding BARRON

[hybrid tendon]

bleh

[weak relic]

Here, win

[bleak blaze]

When do I start switching to steel?

[hybrid tendon]

when you have enough money

[pale wolf]

here, lose

[hybrid tendon]

lmao

useless voucher

[bleak blaze]

Least powerful Grimbo build

[vale shale]

Good morning.

[hybrid tendon]

good morning

[viral raft]

the "and/or a seal" is the biggest frauds ever

i respect Localthunk but i cannot understand why he just simply remove/fix the Illusion description

[weak relic]

I feel like you're running out of time but just try

Idk

[pale wolf]

i could blueprint marble for the meme

[zinc zephyr]

Can we lowkey slime all vouchers other than like 6 of them

I do NOT care about x2 tarot cards in the shop you FOOL (copies last used tarot card)

[pale wolf]

doh!

i think im replacing grimbo lol

[zinc zephyr]

Do you have any plus mult

[pale wolf]

+chips is the same as +mult for xmult

its all about the % difference

[zinc zephyr]

What hand are you even playing

[pale wolf]

whatever

[zinc zephyr]

3oak?

Oh

[hybrid tendon]

any hand wins like this :p

[zinc zephyr]

Anything to hate on planets

[waxen quartz]

depends on grimbo. that's like another x3 at best?

[hybrid tendon]

play the stone hand

[waxen quartz]

a level 1 high card would only be like 40k though?

[zinc zephyr]

Also i JUST realized how do you have gold on marble joker but not hologram

[pale wolf]

magic

ayyy turtle bean sticker

[zinc zephyr]

True turtle bean sticker is getting it at like ante 5 and skipping EVERY single blind

[slow iris]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[pale wolf]

ayy popcorn sticker

[slow iris]

making it perishable is just cruel

[pale wolf]

stickering is mostly money tbh

[pale wolf]

kind of doesn't affect it at all

[slow iris]

i would've liked to keep it for more than 5 rounds though

first seal is blue

goat

[pale wolf]

at r22

[slow iris]

would

certificate on top

[zinc zephyr]

Oh I get it... you like GOLDSLOP

Using jokers like S*y joker

And possibly #### ### ###

[knotty zodiac]

sadly you are not the first

i thought you might have been

[zinc zephyr]

I'm glad I'm not

[vocal dust]

if a perishable gros michel goes extinct on the same turn it gets debuffed am i still eligible for cavendish?

[slow iris]

yes

[tall sapphire]

what even does that voucher do

i dont get it

wdym x2

it doesnt feel like x2

it just fees like a scam

[slow iris]

tarot cards are twice as likely to appear in the shop

[tall sapphire]

yes i get that but

it doesnt feel like that

[zinc zephyr]

The weight of [1,1,1] becomes [1,1,2] so it appears like 16% more or something

[modest snow]

what does that even mean

[knotty zodiac]

HUGE 🪨

[modest snow]

is that [jokers, planets, tarots]?

[tall sapphire]

omg

[zinc zephyr]

Yeah !!!

[tall sapphire]

two food gold sticker in one run is crazy work}

[zinc zephyr]

At least that's how I think it works since it's definitely not a 50% increase in the shop

[pale wolf]

its been a good day for stickering

[zinc zephyr]

I dont even remember my first like 70 gold jokers cause I was too busy doing deck golds

[knotty zodiac]

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Planet_Merchant

[zinc zephyr]

oh

So it's not 1 1 1

Still, KILL these vouchers

[tall sapphire]

that seems way too complicated of a formula for the incredible fucking planet merchant wth

[zinc zephyr]

Make a voucher that makes planet cards 0x as likely to appear

[knotty zodiac]

intuitively you know it cant be. way more jokers appear than other cards

[zinc zephyr]

True...

[pale wolf]

hmmm idk purple joker maybe next time i see ya

ur too expensive

[knotty zodiac]

the indispensable +0 mult

[loud gyro]

If highcard build is ur power then what are you without it

[zinc zephyr]

How do people genuinely tolerate square joker let alone ETERNAL

[flat tiger]

unlike the otehr suckers, purple joker remembers and is never jealous

[pale wolf]

im overscoring already by accident

[loud gyro]

Would purple joker be called pimbo

[flat tiger]

purbo

[loud gyro]

Jimbo grimbo and purbo

[zinc zephyr]

I will not fall for the goldbait

[flat tiger]

so is odd todd blubo and steve redbo

[zinc zephyr]

I will comfortably use WEE joker instead of losing my sanity

[loud gyro]

Odd Todd blue balls

[pale wolf]

im crying

[zinc zephyr]

Oh okay

[cedar sable]

looks inside jumpscare

[loud gyro]

If photochad is your power what are you without it

[cosmic sun]

Skip the shop out of principle

[flat tiger]

buy magic trick

4Head

[pale wolf]

im taking it because i can do great things with chad

[flat tiger]

you can do great things with magic trick, trust

just buy it and get a bunch of clean usless cards

so you never draw blue seal easy

[loud gyro]

This run salvageable?

[slow iris]

no

[flat tiger]

double skip, profit

[loud gyro]

Damn I was so close to winning too

[pale wolf]

NOOO

[knotty zodiac]

magic trick should give a free standard pack every round. illusion would give free mega pack

[pale wolf]

I gotta sell rocket to afford this

[zinc zephyr]

Mime baron are the skip tags btw

[flat tiger]

magic traick should already give editions, illusion should double card spawn chance and give seals chance

[zinc zephyr]

Illusion should give copies of already-exisiting cards in the deck

[loud gyro]

It was hack/ slack and base ball / ass ball

[flat tiger]

in most cases its still just useless cards so

[zinc zephyr]

That's because magic trick is so abysmally bad

If it didn't flood the shop maybe it would've been nice

[flat tiger]

more cases then not most of your deck are still clean cards

[knotty zodiac]

(hence pack)

[loud gyro]

Its the most niche voucher to exist

[scenic mortar]

Idk how i do this 🙏

[flat tiger]

CHICKEN!!!

[loud gyro]

Temperance in the arcana

[scenic mortar]

4 comuns

[flat tiger]

he looks like he got beat up

[scenic mortar]

1 uncommon

[scenic mortar]

LOL

[zinc zephyr]

S*y joker user

[pale wolf]

im double skipping

[scenic mortar]

Im peak

[zinc zephyr]

Square joker canNOT be that good to save you bro 💔

[weak relic]

Normal gold stake build

[loud gyro]

Need some legendaries?

[zinc zephyr]

This is seeded right...?

[scenic mortar]

I won with that

[pale wolf]

nevermind i hit big money in the booster packs

[loud gyro]

I think it was

It was a old image

[zinc zephyr]

Hopefully...

[terse dock]

im tired boss

[zinc zephyr]

My old images are absolute gems

[loud gyro]

This was my first gold state win

Most random build ever

[loud gyro]

Why you gave him face

I don’t want plus 4 mult

[pale wolf]

superposition saving my ass rn i had no value gen and then it immediately giv me lucky carss

[scenic mortar]

How y'all opine of this jokers

[loud gyro]

wtf did u do

Last image u sent it was average phtchad run

[pale wolf]

this kinda ting

[zinc zephyr]

Hey at least you used square joker (fun!!)

[scenic mortar]

.

[loud gyro]

Squarbo

[zinc zephyr]

Oh yeah

[flat tiger]

every jokers are bo

[loud gyro]

Tribo

[zinc zephyr]

Sorry I stopped looking when I saw sl||op|| joker

[loud gyro]

Perkbo

[zinc zephyr]

Didn't even notice square

[scenic mortar]

Only double pairs

[loud gyro]

Chibo

[warm wedge]

yorikbo

[flat tiger]

yorbo

which will be the most cursed bo

[warm wedge]

canbo

[loud gyro]

If joker poker is ur power what are u without it

[warm wedge]

photobo

hanging chadbo

[flat tiger]

just a player, oh no

[cedar sable]

square isn't that bad

[zinc zephyr]

It's THAT bad bro

[flat tiger]

square is enough to win if you get it early

[zinc zephyr]

You're telling me I gotta use TWELVE hands just to get fucking +48 chips

[flat tiger]

which is good within ante 8

[loud gyro]

But it’s permanent

[zinc zephyr]

And wee joker just does that with like three pairs of twos

[loud gyro]

Wee is rare

[cedar sable]

wee is rare joker

[flat tiger]

wee is rare, theres a reason why pants is better then grimbo and ridbo

[cedar sable]

while square is common

[flat tiger]

and you need to draw 2s

[zinc zephyr]

A world where vagabond is also rare

[flat tiger]

yeah and vagabond is busted AF

[loud gyro]

Is he though

[zinc zephyr]

Only on gold cause there's rental

[slow iris]

oops all eternals

[zinc zephyr]

ANY other stake and he's abysmally ass

[flat tiger]

3-4 tarot every round? yes he is THAT good

[cedar sable]

VAGABOND IS GOOD

[zinc zephyr]

It's OKAY at best

Uncommon

[loud gyro]

He’s good but not busted

[zinc zephyr]

Fight me

[cedar sable]

just get

[slow iris]

vagabond is goated

[cedar sable]

burglar

[slow iris]

insanely powerful tarot generation

[loud gyro]

3-4 tarots but being broke is niche

[zinc zephyr]

Vagabond is NOT better than hologram

[slow iris]

vagabond is indirectly an econ joker

[zinc zephyr]

Or mime

[cedar sable]

blueprint brainstorm for more tarots

[loud gyro]

Mime is very niche

[flat tiger]

you can luck card and gold card with vagabo

[loud gyro]

Mine works for like 1 build

[slow iris]

vagabond can easily solo tbh

[flat tiger]

mime is not niche, steel and gold card is not rare

[zinc zephyr]

ANY steel or gold and you get value

And for vagabond you need to be broke

[cedar sable]

deck fixing over score

[loud gyro]

Lucky cars

I like gambling

[flat tiger]

you can still make a lot of money with gold card and luck card

[zinc zephyr]

That you have to WASTE right away in the shop

Like at least make him $5 so you can make interest or something

[pale wolf]

my brother in christ

[loud gyro]

Cause Intrest taste better then tarot

[slow iris]

not really wasting if you're getting tarots out of it

[flat tiger]

yeah you mean you get $5 a round? I rather take 3-4 tarot per round while still having money to spend from gold/lucky cards

and you can still get hermit and temperance

[zinc zephyr]

And you can get moon and sun back and forth

[slow iris]

can be useful

[humble gulch]

Mime is incredible value

[zinc zephyr]

I just cannot accept the fact VAGABOND is considered better than mime by the game

[loud gyro]

All I’m saying is it feels easier to to manage Econ and over all get a better build without vagabond

[lethal arrow]

Ride the bus solos everything else

[pale wolf]

vagabond rounds often end up with $30+ bc of hermit/temperance holding

[flat tiger]

vagabo can carry runs easily

[slow iris]

because it's easy tarot gen :p

[serene forge]

you can get interest with vagabond fyi

[humble gulch]

Rarer doesn't mean better

[pale wolf]

def is

[slow iris]

vagabond solos

[serene forge]

how so

[humble gulch]

Tho vagabond is better

[zinc zephyr]

Mime is also easy planet gen

[humble gulch]

🐑

[flat tiger]

also you can play lucky card as last hand or have gold cards so you STILL get interest while getting the tarots

vagabond carried so many runs

[loud gyro]

But we all can agree 8 ball is better then blue print

[serene forge]

can you get at least 4 tarots a shop consistently

[loud gyro]

4 tarots is ovk

[humble gulch]

4 free tarots

For the price of

Nothing

It helps you find your winning hand

[lethal arrow]

Temperance from vagabond

[humble gulch]

Vagabond is a one shot strat

[slow iris]

first you need a blue seal

[humble gulch]

Or you can just spam pairs

[serene forge]

you would think that bad players would appreciate vagabond more because they're already more likely to be broke because of poor econ management

[pale wolf]

idk my last vagabond game that won with it, i tend to sell it for scoring options near the end

[slow iris]

technically you can get planets from vagabond too

[flat tiger]

vagabond can give hermit and temprance so you can still get $20-25 to spend

[zinc zephyr]

Vs like +$15 with a few gold cards

[loud gyro]

Personally I just don’t like being poor for a whole run that’s why I don’t rlly like him

[slow iris]

you don't have to for the whole run

[zinc zephyr]

9% chance for those two and like 18% to convert three cards into a different suit

[slow iris]

vagabond can generate you enough econ to ditch it

[flat tiger]

you wont care about being poor when you keep getting what you need, also you dont need to be poor with vagabo, again, use gold cards

[serene forge]

being poor with vagabond is a skill issue

[flat tiger]

yeah sure, you talk like you always get what you need from the shop

[humble gulch]

Which vagabond can also give you, plus deck fixing, econ options and enhancements while you dig into your deck with your hands played making using hands as discards benefit you 🐑

[pale wolf]

im sad i threw my vagabond egg run earlier, i got literally no temperances in shop or from vagabond :( i probably need to card block more effectively

[serene forge]

vagabond unironically makes it significantly easier to play flouse if you want to go that route

[flat tiger]

you dont NEED to be broken with vagabo

[serene forge]

big hands are usually bad but vagabond is just that good

[loud gyro]

I never go for flouse

[zinc zephyr]

It kinda forces you to 💔

[flat tiger]

you can still make a bunch of money while getting tarots with vagabo

[humble gulch]

Good, I wanted to win anyways

[loud gyro]

I always run pair build

[serene forge]

does it

[scenic mortar]

Im mr diamonts

[zinc zephyr]

Goldslop

[loud gyro]

Not for that tho

[zinc zephyr]

You cant sell the tarot cards it gives since the limit just FOUR dollars

Like at least make five...

[serene forge]

uhh

so what

[flat tiger]

you can go in with $2 or $3 so you can still sell, you need to THINK

its literalyl simple math, what to buy so I go in with $2-3

[zinc zephyr]

Sell ONCE for it to give another abysmal dogshit

[humble gulch]

Got it, that's why some players don't like vagabond

[flat tiger]

you mean spending $5 then $6 then $7 in the shop to get dog shit?

[loud gyro]

How do y’all feel bout card sharp

[humble gulch]

Free x3

[flat tiger]

great for pair slop

[loud gyro]

It’s not slop 🙁

[serene forge]

a little overrated but good

[flat tiger]

pair is slop

[pale wolf]

then you could make interest

[serene forge]

i personally do not like it

but it's good

[zinc zephyr]

YEAH

[pale wolf]

and have a bank account and be a civilized person

[zinc zephyr]

A single dollar and it'd be fine

[loud gyro]

Why is pair slop

[pale wolf]

that's literally the flavor of vagabond

no interest

[humble gulch]

It's a blackboard with hard counters

[serene forge]

true

[slow iris]

it's fine

[loud gyro]

Not all builds needs 5 cards

[pale wolf]

except you can cheat the system with GOLD just like irl

and scratch tickets

[zinc zephyr]

Or using CERTIFICATE to get seals like PURPLE seal and blue seal that you can also benefit with mime....

[slow iris]

vagabond is an econ joker

[flat tiger]

you get gold cards from vagabo then you roll more gold cards from vagabo

[serene forge]

spare trousers is my favorite pair joker

[lethal arrow]

Bad deck fixing

[loud gyro]

Anti Econ Econ joker

[humble gulch]

That doesn't fix your deck nor helps you find your hand

[pale wolf]

spare trousers is my favorite chip joker joker

[flat tiger]

you bloat you deck so you cant draw your seals, then you get one seal per round, or you consistancely get 3-4 tarot every round

[zinc zephyr]

Do i really have to reduce my deck size to like 20

[humble gulch]

Spare trousers is my favorite legendary

[lethal arrow]

No

[loud gyro]

You must reduce to 1 card

[humble gulch]

Vagabond feels like a legendary ngl

[zinc zephyr]

Not getting two extra tarot cards to get planets instead is worth it

[zinc zephyr]

Is this goldbait

[lethal arrow]

Trading card best Econ joker btw

[flat tiger]

vagabo literalyl carry runs

[loud gyro]

No it’s Patrick

[humble gulch]

Vagabond is better than Perkeo ❤️‍🩹

[flat tiger]

most of the time yes

and chibo

[humble gulch]

Chicot is just a free win

[loud gyro]

Ok your getting ahead of urself

[flat tiger]

chibo is bad

[zinc zephyr]

Come on say your famous line as well

[warm wedge]

i hate chibo

[zinc zephyr]

Say how good obelisk is

[warm wedge]

someone got a nat poly chibo

[loud gyro]

Chico is good

[humble gulch]

?

[loud gyro]

Just not legendary good

[warm wedge]

obby 🤮

[flat tiger]

having chibo save you from a bad boss is like rolling lucbo at the perfect time

[loud gyro]

Chicot should be a rare ngl

[zinc zephyr]

Nothing I'm just saying gold stake does things to the brain...

[lethal arrow]

Obelisk and pivot to 4oak

[slow iris]

chicot deserves to be legendary

[humble gulch]

Chicot gets rid of the hardest part of the game for one joker slot, isn't that legendary?

[flat tiger]

except most of the boss you can deal with anyway

[humble gulch]

Yeah, making people actually good ❤️‍🩹

[loud gyro]

Luchadoor uncommon

[humble gulch]

And you have to find him and sell it

[slow iris]

but you can only use that once

[humble gulch]

What's your point

[flat tiger]

luchbo should be more common, right now its too rare to be useful

[zinc zephyr]

So that's the word we're using for mentally insane now

[warm wedge]

no the hardest part is score bruh

[loud gyro]

Luchadoor more reliable

[warm wedge]

just retcon the blind

[lethal arrow]

Just say you don’t read them

[zinc zephyr]

Dawg i cannot defend you here chigoat is unfortunately a legendary

[scenic mortar]

I loved this run

[flat tiger]

most boss just reduce your score, so literalyl just get more scoring

[humble gulch]

Where are the gold stakers...

[flat tiger]

its also the least exciting legendary to see

[slow iris]

hi

[lethal arrow]

Yorick

[humble gulch]

I can't with this chat

[scenic mortar]

Here

[loud gyro]

At the end of the day 8 ball is better then blue joker

[zinc zephyr]

Do that with a face cards debuffed ante 5 photochad build

[flat tiger]

yorbo is THE best legendary

[zinc zephyr]

(Dont say glass thats cheating)

[pale wolf]

aint no way i lost this

[slow iris]

chicot gets rid of one of the main choke points of runs (boss blind effects) and therefore deserves to be legendary

[pale wolf]

dang im washed

[flat tiger]

you make glasses, ESPECIALYL if you are doing photo

[zinc zephyr]

Hey that's cheating

I asked you to not do that

[loud gyro]

He’s good Econ on selling for 10 bucks

[flat tiger]

yeah dont play the game

[zinc zephyr]

Whatt

So I got C++ for nothing 💔

[humble gulch]

❤️‍🩹

[gloomy swan]

farewell my beloved 😭 🙏

[serene forge]

there are two types of people in the world
people who think chicot is bad
people who are good

[slow iris]

animoonberry

[humble gulch]

Real

[flat tiger]

you should already be making glasses and steels, and if you dont make glasses with photo its on you

[loud gyro]

Chicot good just not legendary good

[serene forge]

I wonder what moon berry tastes like

[slow iris]

chicot legendary good

[slow iris]

moon

[flat tiger]

its not

[serene forge]

so cheese

[zinc zephyr]

It's actually Benjamin Netanyahu's fault for giving me the plant with a photochad build

[serene forge]

true

[flat tiger]

my win was promised 3000 years ago

get rid of chibo for $10

[serene forge]

why should I improve myself when I can just blame israel for all my problems

[lethal arrow]

Your fault for playing photomid

[zinc zephyr]

That's what I did

[humble gulch]

Photochad players be like

[zinc zephyr]

My bad I'll play naneinfslop next time

[flat tiger]

first step, take the $10 and stop coping

[slow iris]

is

[lethal arrow]

Lowk everything is slop except my goat 4oak

[zinc zephyr]

Now that we've settled almost everything I will now throw in my last hot take

[zinc zephyr]

Sinful jokers should be +5 mult and onyx agate should be +10

[flat tiger]

4oak is the most fun to play while not being too rare like flhouse or 5oak

[lethal arrow]

5oak is one of the most useless hands in the game

[humble gulch]

I can see agate being +10, not the sinful jokers tho

[warm wedge]

anti

[humble gulch]

Real

[slow iris]

this is true

[warm wedge]

js do like flush fiv
