[deft sandal]

[noble mango]

The rest not as good

[hearty tusk]

If grabber can kill Black deck ill let it grab me and do whatever the hell it wants because I cant fucking take this gs bullshit anymore

[patent sail]

deckfixing is a myth made up to sell me more rerolls bro what the fuck

[patent sail]

thats +1 hand just removes the downside essentially

[thorn kraken]

this line up is peak

[noble mango]

Joker that makes reroll not increase in price would be op no?

[deft sandal]

just actively selling

[thorn kraken]

why is your deck so big?

[patent sail]

actually insane

[deft sandal]

DNA

[tranquil oyster]

on an 8 ante run it would be balanced for a rare imo

[thorn kraken]

oh yeah

dna be like that

[noble mango]

Feels like a legendary

[deft sandal]

all this

im begging the next shop have director's cut

[hearty tusk]

Run it back.

[tranquil oyster]

but with the reroll reducing vouchers it would be game winning

[deft sandal]

its either director's cut/tarot/planet

[noble mango]

Pair it with the reroll voucher

You got 1$ rerolls lmao

[deft sandal]

Breakfast is consumed now it's time for the first run of the day, still on orange stake black deck its been stressful

[deft sandal]

and guess what, i did

[molten thicket]

oh

no retcon

[earnest mountain]

no way I just won wtf

I don't want to win 😭

[ancient gyro]

you have to deal with a24 before switching

[deft sandal]

gg

[molten thicket]

with 2 mimes and a baron you def need to go past a24-a25 before serpenting

[deft sandal]

.

[viral raft]

GG WP

[tardy bronze]

Not high enough high card level

[brave fox]

Ante 20 Jesus h christ

[deft sandal]

all that nat negative couldnt save me

[earnest mountain]

can I get serpent again if I keep rerolling ?

[tardy bronze]

ante 27??

Holy

[molten thicket]

maybe??

[brave fox]

I can never get past ante 12 idk how yalls doing it

[tardy bronze]

Same here

[molten thicket]

you'd need to get insanely lucky though

[ancient gyro]

why did you skip when you're overscoring from previous blinds

[deft sandal]

that being the best hand but not best ante or round lmao. i love how naneinf wipes your our best hand

[tardy bronze]

I can't score that high that commonly

[high rampart]

skill issue 🥱

[viral raft]

is just play white stake and go with the generic Idol/baron mime build

[ancient gyro]

not on a24

[carmine hollow]

what do your nickname mean

[brave fox]

My skill definitely be the issue lol

That and I have fat thumbs playing on my phone

[ancient gyro]

[hearty tusk]

Kill me

[proven oyster]

[proven oyster]

[thorn kraken]

[ancient gyro]

they are absolutely piss poor atm, they're not gonna pivot in time

[deft sandal]

Oh you got red sealed, congrats!!

[molten thicket]

bcs you're kinda cooked with $100

[proven oyster]

Guys I need help

[viral raft]

Guys, 50% gs winrate with Zodiac deck is good or nah?

[deft sandal]

You have every thing for you to naneinf

[earnest mountain]

but at the enddd
my run just ended

[ancient gyro]

depends on who you ask

[proven oyster]

What should I do

[deft sandal]

Oh

[earnest mountain]

nope
I don't have hand size, only 5 so I don't survive anything

[molten thicket]

no money

[proven wraith]

Man why 😭

[tardy bronze]

I was on auto pilot and now I have two yoriks

Now what

[deft sandal]

gg

[viral raft]

to someone who is going to his 4th c++, is good or bad?

[earnest mountain]

we go again ?

[proven oyster]

I need help on this one, please

[viral raft]

this is my 4th c++ and i have a 50% winrate with zodiac

[ancient gyro]

it's average idk

[viral raft]

i think is nice i guess

[thorn kraken]

harder to help when you got modded jokers

[viral raft]

yeaaah

[ancient gyro]

i could probably go higher

[viral raft]

obviusly

[deft sandal]

nah, not today, it’s exhausting :/

[hearty tusk]

FUN FACT OF THE DAY! DID YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU CHOKE A HUMAN LONG ENOUGH, THEY DIE?! NO, YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT?!

CHECK THIS OUT! pulls out a rope n chair

||Am quitting this whole thing for a while||

[knotty zodiac]

pretty solid

[proven oyster]

It's just textures

[viral raft]

i need to get gud tbh

[deft sandal]

Well, that’s not a while

[viral raft]

i don't like my winrate in between

[proven oyster]

but anyways which one should I sell here

[tardy bronze]

Bro

[cloud sinew]

succulent, did u see that my black deck winrate is like 62% in my last 30 runs

[tardy bronze]

Chad, yorik, holo

All I have

ante two

[proven oyster]

Ill sell the photograph

[ancient gyro]

never saw it

[viral raft]

that's amazing tbh

[knotty zodiac]

winning more black deck runs than losing? goated

[earnest mountain]

it really is
and disappointing

at least we beat the universe

[cloud sinew]

ive been doing gsg from black onwards for a bit now and its actually crazy how often i win

[thorn kraken]

disapointing ive been outscaled

[deft sandal]

3 jokers that have zero synergy 💀

[cloud sinew]

i die most often on nebula atp

[tardy bronze]

Sadly

[knotty zodiac]

i gotta watch the lilo stream to learn

[tardy bronze]

And I lost it

Hate this

wait no

[tardy bronze]

I got it

[cloud sinew]

part of it is definitely that ive gotten back into the groove of streaking and playing black deck

[ancient gyro]

it's a tie between nubbyla and painted for pairless gsg atm for me

[carmine hollow]

hi lilo

[tardy bronze]

Thank god for familiar

[carmine hollow]

[ancient gyro]

did u get the 7 streak yet

[earnest mountain]

what I learned is tarrot tycoon is actually broken for money and deck fixing
I shouldn't take 2 ecto its suicide

[carmine hollow]

i have 4 winstreak in chellenges all in diffenet ones

[patent sail]

shortcut or drunkard what do i sticker

[viral raft]

so cool

[viral raft]

Drunkard

[carmine hollow]

man challanges are easier

[thorn kraken]

shortcut

[cloud sinew]

i play quite slow / inconsistently paced, I will get to a sticking point in a run (i.e idk what the best option is in a run) and then ill just close the game and think about it in the background until im confident

[carmine hollow]

hi papu

the yorick

[viral raft]

Gato Balatro

[carmine hollow]

I had yorick today

in my run

2 hanging

[viral raft]

go Drunkard, Shortcut have more situations which it works

[carmine hollow]

and photo

[ancient gyro]

uncommon vs common

I'll sticker uncommons first

[carmine hollow]

rarities don't matter

because green joker sucks

[ancient gyro]

for stickering convenience they do

[tardy bronze]

Yes

[empty glacier]

I haven’t touched the game in a long time and riff-raff summons both photo and chad. What are the chances? Legit?

[patent sail]

i would take uncommon over common first but shortcut can carry its own run

[viral raft]

a uncommon who you will play anytime you go runner vs a common which noone really cares at all (Except Succulent)

[ancient gyro]

i care about drunkard

[patent sail]

so do i

[cloud sinew]

2(1/57x1/56)

[cloud sinew]

2x because theres 2 ways of it happening. chad then photo or photo then chad

[patent sail]

whatever ill go shortcut

[ancient gyro]

drunkard is also technically more versatile

[viral raft]

that's okay

[proven oyster]

Guys I got another soul card

Again

Should I take it or pass?

[ancient gyro]

you'll see more common jokers when rerolling for stickers in a8

[viral raft]

true but shortcuts passive is more usable on gold stake

[tardy bronze]

Buy a green joker instead trust

[proven oyster]

Here it is

[patent sail]

wait a sec leaf might beat my ass

[proven oyster]

It's very tough

[viral raft]

is like taking a Obelisk instead of a seance because Obelisk is rare

[patent sail]

i might have to sell shortcut

[viral raft]

seance is better to take because you'll never use that crap

[proven oyster]

this is a tough decision for me

[carmine hollow]

Who is utsuki

Omg

[proven oyster]

oh no do not-

[carmine hollow]

Chigoat?

[proven oyster]

yeah

[ancient gyro]

shortcut is very build specific so unless you find it relatively early, you're not sticking with it when appearing at like a5

[proven oyster]

but the problem is theres a soul card

its whether ill pass or sell chicot

[carmine hollow]

What is that

[carmine hollow]

Unforgivable sin

[proven oyster]

its where you get legendary jokers

ik its tough

[carmine hollow]

I know

I'm Jimbo!

[proven oyster]

should i sell the chicot to risk it for getting better or pass?

[tardy bronze]

my holo is higher than my yorik

[carmine hollow]

Never sell chigoat

Please

Pay respect

[viral raft]

true, but Drunkard is something that is even more specific and most of the time you skip it if you build is already good

while Shortcut sometimes is really good to take in runner/straight build

[proven oyster]

i mean it can be either yorick, canio, trib, or perk

[misty tartan]

so no mime, blue print or brainstorm, straight to the point

[ancient gyro]

I'll still prioritize uncommon stickers

[proven oyster]

yk what ill pass it

[viral raft]

that's okay dk, i mostly prioritize the jokers that i don't find good overall

[patent sail]

i had to sell shortcut to clear, according to balala calculator i would barely not clear there

[viral raft]

or jokers that i will most likey don't take as a build

[knotty zodiac]

ya me too. if i recorded there will be 15min+ breaks

[ancient gyro]

yorick last sticker 🗣️

[carmine hollow]

Is it possible to get black hole in collectible slot

Shit

Piss

[patent sail]

man

[viral raft]

Except legendaries obviusly...that is top 1 priors to go stickering

[patent sail]

only 1new sticker

[carmine hollow]

Yes?

[patent sail]

fuck you leaf

[patent sail]

not you

[carmine hollow]

Hero

[ancient gyro]

cav last sticker

[patent sail]

made me sell shortcut

[viral raft]

nope, all legendary stuff (Black Hole, Soul and the legendaries) can't appear in any situation except in packs

[misty tartan]

bro

[viral raft]

what the hell is CAV? 😭

[tardy bronze]

cavendish

[viral raft]

oh i see

[frank grove]

very very fun straight flush run 🔥

[viral raft]

my last sticker in my first C++ was Marry andy for what i remenber, then i won that run playing with Andy+runner+obelisk build

really weird

[ancient gyro]

my last sticker was jimbo

my last 5 stickers were all commons

[tranquil cedar]

is it too late for green?

[tardy bronze]

Never

[ancient gyro]

nah

[tardy bronze]

mult is mult

[tranquil cedar]

aight I'm keeping him

[tardy bronze]

temperance value trust

[ancient gyro]

u can grab half and roll to see what else you find

[tardy bronze]

My holo keeps passing yorick

By like two

[viral raft]

for what i remenber my last stickers were mostly uncommon that you need to do something first to unlock them (Stone, Glass, cat, etc) and the joker which takes hand size which i don't like at all (Stuntman,Marry andy)

[tardy bronze]

now a negative riff raff

ante 9

I bought it

[cloud sinew]

mine werent because i specifically prioritised the harder to get ones

[noble mango]

Good gosh lusty bloodstone brainstorm and yorick

[tardy bronze]

I didn't need golden ticket

[frank grove]

yeah my last ones were all common too, i think one of my final ones the first time around was golden ticket

[viral raft]

yeah, that's what i usually do now in my last C++s because i already know how to play slop

[ancient gyro]

this wouldn't happen to me when I prioritize harder to sticker by default. I've been accustomed to winning under severe handicaps

[tardy bronze]

Egg time

[ancient gyro]

i think the worst 5 jokers are already stickered in my pairless gsg profile and I'm like 20 games in

[tardy bronze]

BLUEPRINT

hell ye

[noble mango]

Which one

[viral raft]

yeah me too, my only jokers remaining are legendaries and early run commons

[frank grove]

hey seance gave you that really useful blue seal in the ante 8 boss right 😄

[tardy bronze]

Why is holo there 🧐

Holo is good

[viral raft]

because is peak

[tardy bronze]

Or obelisk

[viral raft]

Hologram is op because of the pair meta

[tardy bronze]

obelisk is real question

[viral raft]

you simply get free xmult

[frank grove]

obelisk is also really good in general

[tardy bronze]

You don't like photo tho?

[ancient gyro]

it's mediocre

[viral raft]

also great joker, works on pivot builds with scaling jokers

[noble mango]

TheBron, Shitstone, the 0x mult, the nope and the annoying rng fella

[frank grove]

photo is inconsistant and only a 2x without other supporting jokers, which isnt usually what you want in gs currently

[viral raft]

without hanging chad is garbage

[tardy bronze]

Ah

[viral raft]

i hate Photograph

[tardy bronze]

True

[ancient gyro]

on top of that, you need to have photo and ballot appear in the condition you want it to be under the risks and rewards behind it individually

[viral raft]

tbh i wish photograph was deleted, most of new players don't know how to play good build because of photograph's fault

[noble mango]

Rate these jkers

Ramen
Photograph
Seeing double

[viral raft]

overall good
shit
Great

[ancient gyro]

just refer to my list

[brave fox]

Tarot card gave me the throwback early again time to skip with FEELING

[tardy bronze]

flashcard should be higher imo

[noble mango]

Wdym overall good

It's mid

[tardy bronze]

I get 150+ typically

[ancient gyro]

jj at its worst doesn't perform well

[noble mango]

2x mult ain't that great

[carmine hollow]

I remember some dude saying "legendary skip tag"

[frank grove]

flashcard is really really expensive scaling mult compared to other options

[carmine hollow]

Would be nice addition

[ancient gyro]

can u handle jj scaling while keeping 2 rentals

[noble mango]

Red card is a free scaler imo

[ancient gyro]

on average

yeah

[bleak blaze]

No its not!! I cant play my 5 card Full House Photochud run because it resets every time I play it

[thorn kraken]

level 1 high card go brr

[tranquil cedar]

bbc increases score here right?

[ancient gyro]

dw u still have flush

[bleak blaze]

YOU'RE SO RIGHT

[ancient gyro]

which obyliks is unironically the best flush joker

[noble mango]

No

Keep stencilin

[ancient gyro]

and fh

ig

[viral raft]

it's free Xmult, works in discardless builds and also Baseball sinergy

[thorn kraken]

i havent really had a good gameplan in mind and im at ante 8

[proven oyster]

why do i keep getting oops all sixes combo and also photo chad 😭

[tardy bronze]

fr

[bleak blaze]

True, I mean once you can draw them consistently it makes Obelisk absolutely nutty

[thorn kraken]

im trying to get more glass cards

[tranquil cedar]

sure

[tardy bronze]

two cards with 11x is nice

[bleak blaze]

Wdym I play 15 pairs and suddenly the run is free if I DONT play pairs again

[viral raft]

anything that makes tags viable ig 😭

[tardy bronze]

I also haven't seen obelisk in forever

[viral raft]

imo tags need a really great buff

most of them are crap

[tardy bronze]

I've seen more glass jokers

[thorn kraken]

shoot

[tardy bronze]

Or rather canio'

[thorn kraken]

I dont like this

[proven oyster]

dna??

[thorn kraken]

really hard counters me

[bleak blaze]

Sell DNA

[proven oyster]

yeah

sell dna

[bleak blaze]

It doesnt do scoring

[thorn kraken]

if I remove dna I lose my glass card production

[proven oyster]

you can just pick up death tarot card

anyways

[bleak blaze]

If you dont you lose the run

[frank grove]

i dont think tags need to be better, i dont think it should be incentivised more than it already is

[thorn kraken]

not the same

[viral raft]

peak mentioned

i LOVE glass joker

[bleak blaze]

You can find glass production later

[ancient gyro]

you're on the last round wru talking about

[tardy bronze]

Glass and steel are underrated

[clear mulch]

glass joker 😋

[bleak blaze]

Glass joker is diabolical

I love it sm

[ancient gyro]

no they're not lol

[proven oyster]

dude why do I keep getting oops all six, blood stone combo, and photo chad

this is crazy

[viral raft]

Glass joker is basically canio but without being legendary

is just amazing

[thorn kraken]

time to lock in

[viral raft]

Glass joker makes Justice alone a good tarot overall

[thorn kraken]

8 million

[bleak blaze]

Glass Joker with Trading Card ❤️

[viral raft]

GG WP!

[frank grove]

i love making glass cards, whenever i can i put justice on purple/blue seals

[bleak blaze]

GGG!

[tardy bronze]

Canio with trading card fr

[thorn kraken]

ngl I dont think this is getting me highscore

my econ is really bad

[bleak blaze]

Canio with Paredolia
Or
Canio with Trading Card

[thorn kraken]

and by that I mean I dont have econ

[tardy bronze]

True

[viral raft]

Justice+Purple seal is better than Justice+Red seal tbh

[frank grove]

yeah purple seals are goated asf

[bleak blaze]

Wait what, whats the reason?

[viral raft]

one death and you start making inf copies from it

[tardy bronze]

Let's hope for a glass card run

[thorn kraken]

ugh I got sock

games taunting me

[proven oyster]

guys i got perkeo

the freak

[bleak blaze]

ohhhhhhh

[tardy bronze]

Poly DNA is decent start

[viral raft]

Purple seal is so goated tho

[bleak blaze]

Okay so you get a rollover effect from it

[frank grove]

yeah

[ancient gyro]

8 ball enabling benefits

[tardy bronze]

So true

WIth three consumable slots too

[bleak blaze]

8-ball is fun

[frank grove]

you get to deck fix whilst also having emergency glass for tougher bosses or to just get fun big score later if you want

[bleak blaze]

Photoball is fun for tarot generation

[thorn kraken]

this is gonna be my best hand yet

finally put a red seal on my holo glass ace

[viral raft]

i wish that the game buff Wild cards, even the Wild card joker (SMeared) is really bad

[thorn kraken]

on my triple chad set up

im about to hit at least a few million

[stone shell]

do i give in or ignore it

[viral raft]

Smeared mostly only works on castle builds and that's it

[thorn kraken]

if you wanna run smeared

[proven oyster]

sell onyx

and get photo

[stone shell]

the build already guarantee wins

[thorn kraken]

just play checkered deck

[bleak blaze]

Oh shit you're right, and its less likely to break since you're mot triggering it as often

[thorn kraken]

10 million peak hand

[viral raft]

Smeared is just a worst Checkered becasue you also get countered by the Diamond/club bosses

[thorn kraken]

yeah

fr

[tardy bronze]

Me when stupid and play DNA hand after full house

Trading card!!

[stone shell]

think about it how will i maximize cat scaling if my lucky faces win in one hand

[tardy bronze]

Let's go

[bleak blaze]

Smeared makes using Ancient Joker a looooot easier when youre trying to get it online

[frank grove]

smeared is okay just cause aj exists i guess? lowers the chance of low rolling

[spark canyon]

Idek what I'm doing anymore

[stone shell]

(its infinitely worse than photophotochadchad)

[thorn kraken]

you dont need that many cards

[tardy bronze]

Nah

[thorn kraken]

how much econ do you need bro

[tardy bronze]

You need every last one of them

[spark canyon]

But money makes me happy

[tardy bronze]

But as steel

[stone shell]

money go up up up

[bleak blaze]

Econ = Power in this game

[viral raft]

Ancient joker just needs discards and he's already good by itself

[celest carbon]

hi i was trying to complete jokerless challenge any tips?

[viral raft]

Straight and block planets

[bleak blaze]

More money = more rolls = more opportunity to find good joker

[frank grove]

for sure, but anything to lower the chance of bottom decking is good basically

[spark canyon]

Been trying to slowly turn a good amount of them to stell

[tardy bronze]

That's good

[atomic trout]

Should have played Pairs

[tardy bronze]

Zodiac is interesting

[viral raft]

yeaaah, but the moment i see a retrigger/xmult joker i simply sell that crapy Smeared

[viral raft]

is peak

[tardy bronze]

I haven't used it much

I've only gold staked ghost and checkered

[celest carbon]

why should block planets i thought leveling up flush and some glass should do the deal

[tardy bronze]

Working on blue

[thorn kraken]

HES BACK

MY BOY DNA IS BACK

[ancient gyro]

assuming being boss agnostic against card hindering bosses

[proven oyster]

damn

sell the steel

[tardy bronze]

Holy luck

[thorn kraken]

I GOTTA MAKE MORE GLASS SEAL ACES

[tardy bronze]

Three antes later too

[viral raft]

flushes scales like shit 😭
is better to go straight or 4oak

[proven oyster]

thats a clutch right there

[celest carbon]

what is 4oal

[viral raft]

4 of a kind

[ancient gyro]

4 of a lind

[viral raft]

4 of a line

[thorn kraken]

oh its so perfect

[tardy bronze]

4 line of

[celest carbon]

oh okay but the initial draws are shit

[frank grove]

copy dna

[bleak blaze]

4 of lines of lint?

[spark canyon]

Lowk just praying I get DNA again atp

[thorn kraken]

I NEED MORE RED SEAL GLASS CARDS

[tardy bronze]

Any DNA is good dna

[thorn kraken]

MY 3 CHADS MUST BE FED

[tardy bronze]

typically

[thorn kraken]

MORE GLASS

[tardy bronze]

three chads is insane

Waste of joker space somewhat

[viral raft]

you can try to deckfix

[thorn kraken]

okay but its 2 polychrome chads and a brainstorm

[viral raft]

you can play straight as a oneshot build

with glasses and steel card

[zinc sigil]

6/15 idk why this was so hard shouldve been easier

[viral raft]

same with 4oak but you need more preparation

[tardy bronze]

So level three of a kind only, got it

Thanks for the advice

[stone shell]

im starting to hate tribe with a passion for being a rare

[viral raft]

Because of VV?

[stone shell]

as well as for being weak

[thorn kraken]

god its just chefs kiss

[zinc sigil]

No I meant the gold stake in general

The deck

Zodiac

[viral raft]

i actaully like to play 3oak if i get it early on my jokerless 😭

[tardy bronze]

No no

Like late ante 8

[ancient gyro]

first time for everybody

[zinc sigil]

Feel like zodiac deck has a certain playstyle I dont get

[stone shell]

probably because zodiac doesnt actually give any clear early benefits

[tardy bronze]

Then only play it and refuise anything else

Best strat trust

[ancient gyro]

the play style is you see more shit

[frank grove]

it just makes the shops better

[stone shell]

zodiac just makes shops better but you need the money to make use of said shops

[zinc sigil]

Yea early game was rough

[tardy bronze]

Space joker my goat

[zinc sigil]

More decisions means more dumb decisions I can take aswell

[tardy bronze]

Yes level high card

[proven oyster]

should i do a madness run??

[zinc sigil]

Yes.

[viral raft]

idk zodiac is a "better shops" deck

[ancient gyro]

or more decisions blocked when opening packs

[bleak blaze]

Is the sky blue?

Yes

[zinc sigil]

Oh true

[bleak blaze]

Madness runs are my favorite runs

[zinc sigil]

Well this run was smooth sailing

[exotic silo]

trading card and 3 copies of cartomancer eventually got me to pivot to Flush Five before ante 8

[stone shell]

zodiac is more of a skill check to if you know what you're doing than anything

[zinc sigil]

Got early grimbo constellation and I had a hallucination that printed tarots

So it feels cheated

[tranquil cedar]

6 gold stakes down baby

[tardy bronze]

brainstorm let's go

[zinc sigil]

But im not doing it again

[tardy bronze]

Use on space joker

[zinc sigil]

[vagrant wagon]

This is so unlucky 😔

[thorn kraken]

THEY CAUGHT ME LACKIN

[zinc sigil]

Congrats man

SUCCULEENNNTTT

WHAT DECK IS NEXT

[ancient gyro]

uh idk

[tranquil cedar]

thanks, now comes the next one lmao

[bleak blaze]

Madness runs when you win with the stupidest set of jokers

[tardy bronze]

NO STOP LEVELING PAIR

[zinc sigil]

Plasma blue magic ghost zodiac anaglyph

[tranquil cedar]

this happens

[zinc sigil]

I have

[tardy bronze]

I'M PLAYING STRAIGHT

[ancient gyro]

magic

[zinc sigil]

Erm

[thorn kraken]

generational miss

[ancient gyro]

oh uh

[bleak blaze]

Straight Flushes scale quite well as a matter of fact

[thorn kraken]

this game sucks

what are the odds

[tardy bronze]

No

[thorn kraken]

on the water

[tardy bronze]

Pairs no

[ancient gyro]

yellow

[zinc sigil]

Okay!

[thorn kraken]

so I cant discard

[tardy bronze]

This game has it out for me

[zinc sigil]

Anything I wanna know

[proven oyster]

dude i keep getting oops all six

[tardy bronze]

Bro

[proven oyster]

what the freak is this game

[zinc sigil]

Do I just buy everything first shop

[ancient gyro]

no

[vale shale]

Helo

Helo gamers. 1 take gold stake run any deck. Which deck are we thinking bout.

[ancient gyro]

black

[tardy bronze]

poly from wheel of fortune on my jolly

[proven oyster]

what deck are you playing?

[exotic silo]

ooh I am also grinding gold stake on Abandoned Deck, currently on Blue

[zinc sigil]

Yello

[proven oyster]

if its plasma, skip

[tardy bronze]

This game hates me

[proven oyster]

is it white stake?

[tranquil cedar]

hell yeah, best of lucks, remember to play full houses ante 1

[tardy bronze]

Level everything except what I want it to

[ancient gyro]

accelerated interest, rental leniency

[cloud sinew]

hello

[thorn kraken]

this game cant have me beat ante 12

[tranquil cedar]

typa shit yt be recommending me after my cousin uses the phone

[thorn kraken]

this deck could have done it

[ancient gyro]

free grabber/overstock/paint brush a1 pickup

[thorn kraken]

then hit the most generational miss oat

missed every glass in the entire deck

[tardy bronze]

Average flush player feed trust

[zinc sigil]

Is spare trousers a good joker

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[tardy bronze]

If you do it right

[tranquil cedar]

my favorite

[zinc sigil]

Will try

[vale shale]

Top 2 best scaling mult joker

[zinc sigil]

Couldve just kept this to urswlf

[tardy bronze]

If you play flush it ain't gonna work well

[zinc sigil]

This aswell

[tranquil cedar]

as someone who redeemed himself from being a flush player I can confirm

it has been weeks since I've played a flush

[tranquil cedar]

I couldn't go a run without them

it's my most played hand in fact

[tardy bronze]

It's my second most

[stone shell]

im like pretty sure it singlehandedly makes two pair a decent archetype to play with

[tranquil cedar]

two pair is genuinely my favorite hand

straight is right below

[ancient gyro]

to pivot to pairs*

[spring radish]

pair> high card because pair is a pair and not a high card

[zinc sigil]

lol

[stone shell]

pairs dont exist

youre being brainwashed by jimbo

[ancient gyro]

2p is decent on its own with the existence of chip scaling and on card scoring benefits

[zinc sigil]

Isnt card sharp insane with spare trousers

[tardy bronze]

Pretty decent

[zinc sigil]

Ur spamming that shit anyway

[ancient gyro]

card shark is good with any decent flat mult source

[zinc sigil]

Makes it hard to scale no

[frank grove]

yeah, 2pair also makes flowerpot kinda possible ... but thats niche

[tranquil cedar]

card sharp is insane period

[zinc sigil]

Lowkey I dont pick it up to scale

[stone shell]

its good but kinda anti synergy to scale pants more than 4/blind

[tardy bronze]

You play flowerpot on purpose?

[cloud sinew]

you can reorder your jokers so you minimise score

[zinc sigil]

Ohh

[frank grove]

yeah its a 3x joker

[zinc sigil]

Yea

[ancient gyro]

you can move jokers to control scoring

[stone shell]

tbf most casual balatroers dont really move jokers outside of like

[hoary moon]

green joker is harambalatro

[stone shell]

blueprint/brainstorm ig

[ancient gyro]

[frank grove]

moneyyyy 🔥

[ancient gyro]

scoring detriment

[vale shale]

🤑

[stone shell]

who wants money

[vale shale]

3 pairs sell joker then do 5 card hand gg

[stone shell]

surely banana doesnt break on me

[hearty tusk]

The lion cant run it back anymore

[zinc sigil]

Flower pot is hard with spare trousers no

[vale shale]

Flower pot is hard with anything

[zinc sigil]

Yea I guess

[ancient gyro]

hard in general that isn't smeared or splash

or shortcut

[stone shell]

NOOOOO banana was too strong and only allowed me to play 3 hands pairs instead of 2 😔

[zinc sigil]

Oh yea smeared

[cloud sinew]

errrrr

[vale shale]

Could argue

[ancient gyro]

couldn't

[vale shale]

I would

😴

[cloud sinew]

i think photochad is worth but im really not sure

[stone shell]

to be fair that is alot of mult but its a shame arrowhead is eternal

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[stone shell]

i would take photochad since you have brainstorm

[ancient gyro]

planet sourcing

[stone shell]

i dont trust a chips build in gold stake to come through

[cloud sinew]

I have telescope

[ancient gyro]

that works

[cloud sinew]

so it should be good

alr

[ancient gyro]

2p?

[hearty tusk]

Run it back

[nocturne frost]

Just Cartomancer left!

[soft talon]

How can I deckfix for the idol?

[nocturne frost]

Death, trading card, cryptid

[cloud sinew]

blackboard gaming

[stone shell]

just turbo copy one card and destroy all else

[nocturne frost]

Immolate, and none of that works in 8 ante play

[stone shell]

never trust idol until your deck is 100% fixed

[nocturne frost]

In 8 ante play you just pray and use idol as a shitty photograph

And use suit changers

Idol does trigger on wild cards, right?

[stone shell]

okay bad news banana died but good news IT HIT PAIRS AGAIN

[nocturne frost]

And on smeared by extension

[stone shell]

it does but idol still looks at the original suit

[nocturne frost]

Oh so it doesn't then

[stone shell]

so having a wild, say, king of clubs still runs the risk of idol hitting clubs when everything else is a spade

[nocturne frost]

Oh oh

Okay I'm talking the shitty photograph replacement way

[exotic silo]

I couldn't draw the one glass I had in the deck

[stone shell]

oh yeah suit still works for proccing idol its just deck fixing shenanigans

[nocturne frost]

For that you just want to suit change and maybe wild card and smeared if possible

[stone shell]

the best way to use idol is to get a baseball

[rustic haven]

was going for my last couple voucher unlocks (buy cards from shop and reduce hand size to 5) and found this beauty

[nocturne frost]

I mean it is a photograph when it works

[earnest mountain]

take2: dinner is on me yall

[exotic silo]

my idol gold sticker is from an insane Vagabond run that managed to get it online before ante 8 lol

but that's very rare

and not at all makes The Idol a good joker in ante 8

[knotty zodiac]

the best way to use idol is to hold it to joker block for the joker u actually want

[rustic haven]

no no, i insist (i have 3 copy jokers with sock, chad, and ticket)

[nocturne frost]

I think my current Black++ had the idol sticker got where it was mostly decorative, but it did still save the run

[earnest mountain]

seltzer gold stake was interesting

[undone talon]

i could reroll but i dont think i have another ante left

[rustic haven]

this is ugly

[undone talon]

karu noooo

sorry 😭

[earnest mountain]

insane I am broke compared to you 😭

[rustic haven]

😭

[undone talon]

i got trib and decided to go into endless a bit

[rustic haven]

chad is there for the ride

[stone shell]

your seed is the sole exception of idol being bad for ante 8

[rustic haven]

yeah im going for unlocks and get a crazy face card run

[knotty zodiac]

i did use idol as a crappy photo recently

its not a fun spot to be in

[hearty tusk]

Just list again

[rustic haven]

havent seen plant yet so

[earnest mountain]

I am going for naninf after my last run failed because of winning too early

[hearty tusk]

Lost

We run it back

[tranquil oasis]

how we feel about this lineup

I’m on plasma

[rustic haven]

whenever im playing for idol early i feel like im playing for shitty multiplayer runs where you gotta force yourself into terrible deckfixing

[iron vigil]

Pretty good

[earnest mountain]

"lost, we run it back" is the name of the game

[dawn summit]

voucher skip doesnt exist apparently

[proven oyster]

its good, the certificate is kinda throw me off

[tranquil oasis]

hologram

it’s for that

[iron vigil]

Scales the blue joker

[proven oyster]

ohhh right

I forgot

[knotty zodiac]

yep, and without extra lives or the guarantee that your opponent has an equally shitty store

[knotty zodiac]

reasonable pivotable setup, hope u find more xmult soon

[brave goblet]

the extra lives portion of multiplayer really changes things up

[stone shell]

im pretty sure this already wins

[tranquil oasis]

I already won

squimbo at 248

[ancient gyro]

they'll need a second xmult to surpass gs plasma gimmick

[knotty zodiac]

depends on planets

and stake ya

[ancient gyro]

assuming stake yeah

[zinc sigil]

Skipped last 2 cause of seltzer but is this a good mult amount

[tranquil oasis]

two pair at level 17

[knotty zodiac]

always happy to see anything >30

[eager lynx]

tough call. what should i do?

[stone shell]

i think brainstorm hologram cert has the strength given what ante it was assembled but idk

[spring radish]

sell blueprint

[knotty zodiac]

would be borderline for gs i think

[brave goblet]

hallucination then arcana hopefully there's temperance

[ancient gyro]

needs decent flat mult to amplify

[rustic haven]

real, not a fun spot

[zinc sigil]

Isnt the xmult straight joker bad standalone

[stone shell]

okay fair but with the supposed blue seals you should occasionally get from cert

surely

[knotty zodiac]

go next

[brave goblet]

the order?

[rustic haven]

its... okay...

[brave goblet]

well it won't be standalone for long once you get some saturn levels in

[rustic haven]

i guess...

[ancient gyro]

out of the the jokers, it has the least amount of pivot options

[stone shell]

any xmult joker is kinda bad on its own

[zinc sigil]

No me gusta

[rustic haven]

me too

[zinc sigil]

Its eternal too

[vagrant wagon]

Canio is just playing with my feeling’s here

[zinc sigil]

Yucky

[rustic haven]

yikrs

[vale shale]

Noob

[rustic haven]

😭

[stone shell]

order is inflexible but given how strong saturns are it could be a wincon pull

[rustic haven]

baron peeking

[knotty zodiac]

gg

[vagrant wagon]

Yes 😔

[tranquil oasis]

no repeat hand types

fuh

[rustic haven]

yeah thats the thing

[knotty zodiac]

i love order

[vale shale]

I tried to get straights even with four fingers stillcouldn't get one 🔥

[hoary knot]

A run to unlock ghost joker turned into this 😭

[rustic haven]

theyre fairly easy to get with 0 deckfixing and especially with fingers or shortcut

[zinc sigil]

Whats ghost joker

[rustic haven]

but i would still rather go pairslop, hc, or some sort of flush hand

[graceful schooner]

Just here to check in on my bro @hearty tusk

[spring radish]

i don't know gang❤️

[hoary knot]

Was it ghost or invis I forgot

[zinc sigil]

Oh okay

[rustic haven]

invis

[zinc sigil]

Ahh

Im bad with names too dw

[balmy epoch]

New joker suggestion:

Fence
Discarded purple seals always spawn The Hermit
-# THIS ISN'T THE CAR

[hearty tusk]

Am being touched inappropriately and I dont like it

[zinc sigil]

I only know effects

[rustic haven]

im sorry

[spring radish]

way too op

[hearty tusk]

By black deck

[rustic haven]

how the fuck are we ante 10 with this

😭

[spring radish]

i would love it

[graceful schooner]

Sorry to hear that

[balmy epoch]

(not a serious suggestion just referencing a meme)

[knotty zodiac]

instantly top 4 econ joker

[hoary knot]

You tell me

[zinc sigil]

Isnt invis joker play with 4 jokers only

[hoary knot]

Yea

[spring radish]

genuinely could be better than mail

[stone shell]

is observatory a wincon in pairslop chat

[rustic haven]

this is awful

[zinc sigil]

Tf happened bro 😭

[hoary knot]

I know

[rustic haven]

aces scare me

[proven oyster]

it'll be good if theres perkeo

[rustic haven]

theyre so boring

[hoary knot]

I saw the oops and went feral

[vale shale]

2.25x mult with both slots occupied

[knotty zodiac]

i think mail still higher in tier list but with any purple seals it starts shifting fast

[cloud sinew]

close one

[hoary knot]

Budget lucky cat run 😭

I was going to do photochad but then I thought aces

[knotty zodiac]

2145 < 2400, game is rigged confirmed

[balmy epoch]

But yeah would be busted but idk that meme is rotting my brain lately

[spring radish]

without vouchers is guarenteed 40 dollars per discard btw

[cloud sinew]

Plasma

[zinc sigil]

U guys didnt see that

[vale shale]

Who deleted it

[zinc sigil]

[cloud sinew]

why did u delete it

[vale shale]

👀

[hoary knot]

All bets on misprint

[hexed peak]

john x3 mult

[zinc sigil]

Cause its stupid

[stone shell]

what are we doing with these ideas

[cloud sinew]

people are gonna pay MORE attention to it if you delete it though

[balmy epoch]

We're leaving the town

[cloud sinew]

also its fine to not know things

[vagrant wagon]

No this is just trolling on the highest level Madness instantly killing Canio 😭😭

[vale shale]

It's a genuine question that needs answering no question is stupid

Besides some

[knotty zodiac]

BARBRA STREISSAND

[hoary knot]

It was bound to happen

[cloud sinew]

theres isnt a question that, when asked sincerely, is stupid.

[zinc sigil]

Plasma was my first gs and I grinded that shit for 10hrs straight I shouldve known

[hoary knot]

Madness is mad

[balmy epoch]

I forgot this isn't okbuddyjimbo sorry peeps

[zinc sigil]

Thanks Lilo I appreciate that a lot

[vale shale]

No need to be ashamed

[vagrant wagon]

Yeah but not instantly I thought

[stone shell]

did anyone hear something

[knotty zodiac]

drip drip drip

[spring radish]

breaking the economy

[knotty zodiac]

hantavirus stimulus

[stone shell]

quick question is incantation worth anything in a pairslop build

[balmy epoch]

God damn I feel like I'm not able to win if I don't find busted jokers, especially on higher stakes

[stone shell]

i actually find the enhancements strong enough to justify the spectrals when i have no current direction but i wanna hear server thoughts

the alternative is gold rock but i wanna hear the server

[knotty zodiac]

mm if your econ is trash, it can give gold and lucky. also DL

but ya i like talisman and medium much better

[stone shell]

im like half expecting to never pivot out of burglar in a pair build so i already omitted medium :P

[knotty zodiac]

pair doesnt really need direction, it just needs unconditional scoring and money

[spring radish]

talisman is genuinely a good seal but it gets overshadowed by red seal so much

[stone shell]

excuse me what

no i think red seal on average is worse than talis

[knotty zodiac]

a8 pairs trance >>>>> medium > talisman >>> deja vu

[spring radish]

no

what average bro looking at

[stone shell]

the one where i see the vision of gold seal chad gameplay vs redseal gold

[zinc sigil]

Yo I have an offtopic questions since u all are math geniuses, I booked a wrong trainticket for tuesday I need to go wednesday cause I still work on wednesday and mixed it up. I could get off and go on tuesday with my 10 bucks ticket or I let it expire and get a new 28 bucks ticket for wednesday, then I would be down 38 bucks but I get paid 150 for work on wednesday if I go on tuesday I dont get that money thoughts

[spring radish]

red seal gold is not

[stone shell]

sorry im not an expert at the game of life 😔 try asking the server chat or off topic

[zinc sigil]

Good idea

[spring radish]

why not stay there until Wednesday

[zinc sigil]

Cause im 10 bucks deep into my ticket

[knotty zodiac]

net $112 (and future opportunity from that work source) for x hours of work

also might be worth looking into if you can change the ticket

[spring radish]

what?

[hearty tusk]

Pain.

[knotty zodiac]

i assume no show could be bad for future income

[spring radish]

can't you take the train there and stay there for a day?

[zinc sigil]

Yea I lowkey stay its the right choice

[zinc sigil]

Its far

[knotty zodiac]

golden next

[spring radish]

wait im so confused with the question

[knotty zodiac]

from what i understand

go to work or dont go to work. go to work requires buying another ticket. (there is also sunk cost of wrong ticket in both scenarios)

[spring radish]

are you at the place where you work? or at the place you are trying to get to work from

[spring radish]

why not just use this ticket and stay there for a night

[exotic silo]

Okay, I love Abandoned Deck now

[knotty zodiac]

i assume it's more expensive to find accommodations than just buying another ticket

[spring radish]

i could literally sleep on the road

its just 1 night

[stone shell]

is this a good setup for obelisk

[spring radish]

also 28 bucks is ALOT

[exotic silo]

is this a rhetorical question

[stone shell]

genuine question because pairs are quite the safety net

also i already have 10 levels into it

[knotty zodiac]

i think burglar goes after obby hits 3x ish

[exotic silo]

Then it depends on how many Pairs you have been needing to win

[stone shell]

basically all and a steel which is an issue unlesss i luck into some chips

im like half sure flushes can clear 6k

eh

maybe not

probably the same as pairs so thats kinda cooked

[flint yacht]

fucking blue stake with abandoned deck.... painful

[exotic silo]

to be fair, Merry Andy just eliminated that issue entirely in that particular run, along with Abandoned Deck being Abandoned Deck

[spring radish]

Based on what i see is you just go there with the 10 bucks and try to stay there for less than 28 bucks and work

[stone shell]

i would argue bluestake hurts abandoned the second least behind red and blue deck

[zinc sigil]

Thanks bro

[knotty zodiac]

wen 100% official?

[stone shell]

over i lost because i overestimated how strong obelisk can get in a short timeframe :P

[blazing plinth]

I just got a run with 1 batrillion score.

DNA really is busted huh

[stone shell]

as soon as i find a pesky lil rare thats the equivalent of dead weight

[woven hare]

is boots the best way to get merry

[stone shell]

nah this guy just doesnt show up and i already got 2 lucky cat runs which make lotsa money

[knotty zodiac]

the 149 grind. feel ya

[stone shell]

after i reach 100% im making a tier list and putting tribe as the absolute worst for all the pain its caused me

[knotty zodiac]

pretty sweet clear

[knotty zodiac]

r u playing checkered? its not so deadweight in checkered

[tardy bronze]

Why can't i find baron the one time i need him

chad, dna, hiker, trib, trib

Seeded

play high card poly red seal lucky kings

[stone shell]

i tried checkered a little bit because out of 5 remaining jokers at a point i had seance and tribe

it was fine but i pivoted to yellow because hopefully the extra money does translate into extra rerolls

[knotty zodiac]

hm i think blue might be a bit stronger. the extra hand enables so much greed

[stone shell]

to be fair yellow deck can hit interest cap by round 2

and if it doesnt because of imperfect luck its like 20ish dollars which is alot for ante 1

[knotty zodiac]

ya its pretty strong too. i think you should see tribe 1 out of 3-4 strong runs, so it's bound to show up soon

gl ^^

[viral raft]

Tbh the one who suffers the most from Blue Stake is probably Black Deck

Literally starts with -1 -1

[stone shell]

tribe is right around the corner but unforunately im in a circle

[cloud sinew]

it hurts blue deck the least, i think.

u said that

right

[stone shell]

i just put blue/red because i was thinking about draws in general

although if that was the case abandoned is probably hurt less than them

-12 cards do be strong

[viral raft]

Abandoned and Checkered are probavly the ones who doesn't feel too much pain agaisnt blue stake

Both already good fixed (atleast on early runs)

[cloud sinew]

its not just about draws, but also about how reliant on drawing they are

[exotic silo]

man C+ and C++ are certainly a grind

[viral raft]

Kinda

Still fun tho

[stone shell]

C++ is alot faster than one would think im ngl

[knotty zodiac]

you were 90 just a blink of an eye ago ya? youre fast

[stone shell]

im just pissed because tribe is my last joker but thats life

[exotic silo]

nah that's because I forgot to update it yesterday lmfao

I think I only got 2 today

[knotty zodiac]

oh. youll get there

[viral raft]

That's cool, just wait until it happens

[stone shell]

also i should remove my question mark i have verified that achievements do work on my main profile already

[exotic silo]

yeah I already have C+ on an unlock-all save so I definitely know how to play Gold Stake on each

and Black Deck is already done

[cloud sinew]

i see it as not grindy. its like if you needed to read 100 books. its going to seem like such a daunting task if you think about the actual amount of time it takes and you did it as much as you could, but if you just make a habit of reading an hour a day then it wont feel like anywhere near as much of a chore

[exotic silo]

just going from left to right

[stone shell]

what if my brain works in mysterious ways and i end up reading like 23 books in one sitting and realize its already 2 am

[cloud sinew]

theyre either very small books, or you have been sat down for days on end.

[exotic silo]

funny thing is that I think Red Deck took the most attempts to get the gold stake win on

[knotty zodiac]

that might be hyperfocus and you might consider getting tested for adhd

[stone shell]

i think i might have minor signs but im too busy focusing on juggling between like 5 different games to think about it

[stone shell]

i could probably fit a second title beside my display name so does anyone have any ideas

[knotty zodiac]

15/15 GSG sounds pretty good

[stone shell]

what does GSG mean

[frank grove]

gold stake gauntlet, win a gold stake run on every deck without losing

[stone shell]

oh ive never done that and that sounds like a hastle

[stone shell]

i thought it was like gold stake games

[knotty zodiac]

close

[sweet epoch]

its going ok

[stone shell]

still 15 winstreak is absurd and im not a very good player despite being so close to C++ :P

im probably at a 25-30% winrate and that just sucks

[frank grove]

I want to do more gsg attempts

[knotty zodiac]

i think my winrate has to reach 75% before i seriously consider

[exotic silo]

Stupid challenge: From a fresh unlock-all save, get C++. You can only play each deck once.

[knotty zodiac]

for now i think a 10 streak ill be content with

[frank grove]

you would have to get a neg tag on analgpyh for this to be even remotely possible, and even then getting 5 legs in 15 runs sounds very undoable

[knotty zodiac]

this isn't possible ya? you can only get 5 stickers max per deck

minus neg skips

[frank grove]

without neg skips its impossible

even with neg skips

[stone shell]

do we believe in zany because i certainly dont

[exotic silo]

it is stupid for a reason

[frank grove]

the problem is getting 5 legendaries
