Stuntman neva miss
It’s fine as it is
It’s a rare after all
also as a rare its pretty good
there arent many jokers like it
rarity does not equal strength
yeah, but nerfing a good rare kinda hurts
Rare =/= good
Also try fixing your deck so you can get out of four fingers and shortcut for xmult
Most of rares are really mid ngl
Not equal but it should correlate
i dont agree
Actually why do you even need 4 fingers lol
i hope they add more rares that are good overall
it should correlate to nicheness / generality, as it mostly does now.
4 fingers you’ll never use for flushes and for straights, it’s just inferior to shortcut
Uncommon is the best rarity but isn't the rarest to appear
strush
rarity to me just sounds how unique your ability can really be
strush
very useful for blue seals
yeah but you already got shortcut and smeared, 4 fingers is a bit overkill no?
once they get levels they can get out of 4fingers and stunt its abandoned deck so
it’s +1 hand size i guess
HMM
you’re onto something
never thought of it that way
Working on that but that will take a while
😎
i love challenging peoples conceptions in such a way that they become better players
Nah it makes it even slightly more OP cause it relaxes the flush/straights portion, and then you can hold steel and stuff
The latter could be important cause strush is so dependent on jokers just to assemble the hands you need the scoring boost from elsewhere
other than glass
mime with blue seals for neptunes 
juggler and hallucination are easily my top 2 favorite commons
so would selling smeared be the better play then?
i quite like 4fingers
shortcut is a straights jonker, 4 fingers is the strush jonker
specially on runner spam builds or sturhs build
nothing needs to be sold atm
4fingers also helps with the suit part. for str flush I prefer over shortcut
just look at this lmao
exactly
ye but which would be the first joker to go?
stuntman
perfectly valid run to me
it depends on what youre swapping in
if you stick with strushes
but if anything, probably stuntman
why is trousers uncommon
stuntman is -2 handsize, and it's non-scaling
Suboptimal joker order 😨
oh yeah I completely undermined that option lol
I was so focused on those 3 jokers lol
i already won that run so i didn't even care about order joker
source
rhetorical question moment
ah yeah my favorite hand, Stair
source: its obvious
source: i made it up
Ladder
it was revealed to him in a dream
No xmult is gonna get me killed any round now
i would say trousers at uncommon is more about the relative complexity --- it's stronger scaling mult, sure, but it is also a more complex ask than the common-rarity scaling mult
BASEBALL CARD WHERE ARE YOU
if youre saying its true "because it is obviously true" then you have no basis
even stronger than jolly joker?
why isnt chicot blueprintable
runner
because it's a passive effect
lol
well
Imagine pants as a common....🥵
that would solidified his goat status im afraid
anaglyph deck never stops amusing me
Double chicot effect is a bug pretty sure
it's an on round start effect, it's just not worded that way
i would also say that the game having examples where these rules apply inconsistently doesn't actually mean it's about strength 100%, it just means rarity is more complicated than one axis
on gold these would be rentals
Riff Raff upscale
theres no difference in concept between runner and trousers besides trousers at +1 would be awful and trousers at +2 is too good to be a common
the only reason that i think Lilo is right is because Rebate and Riff goat are Common
and most of scaling jokers
which are op overall
we're both right
Yeah
Anaglyph negative skip tag be like
i mean obviously complexity is part of it but not entirely
i.e. every hand rare
i don't think i ever claimed it was the entire thing
neither did I 🤷♀️
i wish baron was good instead of a weird ahh joker
so i don't know why zebra is arguing as though it's an absolute
so called free thinkers when
Obelisk is weird as hell AND goated
ACROBAT MY GOAAAATTTT
🐴
You said you disagreed with strength being correlated with rarity
Every joker is goated in their own way or another
delayed gratif, the goated $4 (sometimes more)
Showman, Idol, Baron...
wily joker?
Showman goat
Those are all great endless jokers though
fuel for campfire :D
Ceremonial dagger value
i think that rarity:strength has a much weaker correlation than rarity:nicheness
TRUE
nobody cares
They are potential jokers
true, even
*spins the wheel
The Trio
The trio is pretty good
if you're going to look at both endless and ante 8 in the same context then you are setting yourself up for failure
negative splash is actually criminally underrated
splash is mid
More reliable than
spins the wheel
Hit the road
"underrated" and only work in two builds (Flower pot and barely Wee)
econ jokers are still the support for both. but we already knew econ rules balatro
glass joker, lucky cat
No I don't mean to put them in the same boat I'm just saying that every joker has it's own niche use (with some exceptions ofc)
8ball sinergy
they should have a niche within ante 8 though, as that's where the game is balanced around first
splash as a utility joker is decent but not a run winner
true but most of the time you play other Xmults or econ gen jokers
Out of those 3 baron has the biggest niche however small
the bus just crashed
i don't really need splash to play my goats lucky cat and Glass joker
God fucking damnit, that was such a fun run

and even in that niche it is still not that great
I’m comparing it with showman and idol
Freaking worst boss blind to have there
negative splash
dude i did this one time,
and then proceeded to do another same mistake lmfao
oh fiz please let this be a normal field trip
won the run tho
even better
I finally beat jokerless. Was very stressful as I never got a blue seal 😭
The bus took a splash in the lake
Splash + Bus + Pareidolia + egg
GG WP
good job
did you get telescope at least?
Did you have telescope
straights!!!!!!
and against vv 🔥
When I won mine the straight base score one shot VV
guys, what is a straight?
opposite of gay
5 consecutive ranks
i guess
In jokerless lowkey bell
you mean the edition?
Because if you get to ante 8 you probably win against VV
wow
Yah I had telescope and liquidation which was pretty much the only thing that saved the run
Damn that's still a really good achievement
endless mode: 80% of jokers are useless
endful mode: 10% of jokers are useless
photochad if it was 3 joker slots i guess, lol 😭
you mean Stair?
GG, so do we all just get Violet vessel on jokerless or Cerulean Bell is banned
staireight
sadly pourple stake
cerulean is like vv if it took away your hands instead
you mean this one?
unless 4oak obviously
Straight flush ❌
Stair of color ✅
I am missing Midas' Mask sticker, it's proving to be quite annoying to find and win a run, especially without Vampire(which also hasn't appeared in a WHILE but at least I got that sticker)
Strush
midas without vampire should not be difficult to win with
Show the rest
it's an econ carry-along joker
yeah if I find it
Also to add, I didn't realize until ~ 150 hours on balatro that A-2-3-4-5 counts as a straight too
If?
And it’s pretty much a free drivers license
🫃 🐴
I hate vampire, outside of midas combo it's so ass
i quite like vampire
me too vampire is really fun
I mean, it carried my ass in quite a few runs without Midas' Mask
Difference is midas is probably one of the best early jokers and vampire is bad
bad generally or just in the early game
Bad most of the time
also
I have only found Midas in a red stake run once, and never again in my entire 190h playthrough
what
explain
vampire early takes away the opportunity to empress and hiero for scoring. i guess.
constellation costs $3 per x0.1 mult and everyone loves it
vampire can let you get x0.2 mult per $3
That doesn't seem fair
"can let you get", does not mean that's the average
@turbid nova
i worked out the average a while ago, hold on
give calcs
i like vampire over constellation solely because it doesnt take 5 business days to purchase planets between rounds
If I get something like vagabond sure I’ll take vamp
Most of the time if I were to take it, it would kill me because the small scaling xmult from the removed enhancements score less than the enhancement itself
what
i mean, if you take vampire early and immediately depend on it to solve scoring, then sure that's kinda bad
but...don't do that
I won’t take it early but even midgame I don’t find it that appealing
And late what’s the point I would probably win anyway
how do you do this again
wet dream
"to get up to 0.3x from the shop, per round, on average, you'd need to be getting 2.28 enhancements from the shop slots every round (as you get 0.72 enhancements from arcanas every shop, on average)
that means seeing ~1.66 enhancement tarots in the shop, which you would need to roll 5.81 times on average for (or see 11.62 cards in shop, which is relevant for overstock/+)"
you pass on vampire in ante 5 for example?
packs are 0.072x per shop on average
Most of the time yeah depends on the build
how do these compare with constellation calcs
constellation is guaranteed every single planet pack
and guaranteed every planet
suuuure
ok
it's at least 2x faster than vampire on average
oh yeah getting to just use the planets in the shop too
not having to wait till in round
Yep
yeah constellation is kinda busted even before blue seals ngl
greater benefit from having a strong econ
that honestly doesn't sound farfetched
vampire is ofc worse than const but saying vampire is bad most of time i think is just wrong
would it really be so bad if vamp went back to x0.2 mult gained per enh sucked
literally just a few purple seals can swing the favour towards vampire
It is though
rolling 5.81 times on average per shop is a lot of money
the key word is it's kinda depressing to play, not that it's bad probabyl
literally sucks all the fun out of it
im an 8ball and purple seal lover
and thats not even accounting for using the tarots
nor is it accounting for the fact that you can only hold 2 consumables at base
I find vampire a lot more fun than hitting purchase on 20 planet cards 😭
purple seal is a source outside of the shop
my mobile experience
those are not significant factors with regard to vampire on average
But with planet more number go up
they influence it by +/- 10%
yeah lilo's averages are just from shops, any enhanced card generator(whether it be tarot generators or Midas) will boost Vampire significantly
counterpoint: pop pop pop
how do you do the gold chip on all cards? do you just do a certain build and add one of those cards into it
i agree
most of them are carry-along jokers
win a run (on corresponding stake) while holding the card
simple as
so you just slot them into an existing build without them contributing
yeah thats kinda what i meant 💀
😛
wrong emoji
you basically play pairslop then you start carry shit like thoses jokers to get gold stickers
the virgin vampire: NOOO GIVE ME ALL YOUR MAGICIANS
the chad constellation: another Neptune? splendid
vampire also works against itself because it removes luckies and a lot of gold cards as an econ source
REAL
i have an issue where i only use flushes and i cant use other combos since i love flush
also i find flush the most consistent
a few tarots per round through tarotgen jokers and purple seals where the shop provides 0.72 enhancements from (a random tarot on average) feels big
moment 😭
you know what's even more consistent than a flush? or god forbid, even a pair?
i have 9H on the game
Full house
👍
makes sense, just play for now and then with time you will learn how to do stuff like gold stake and consistent hands
the thing is i dont know which cards to discard because every card can the card that mkaes the pair
then you look at what cards are left in deck
you discard the ones you have the fewest left of
im just unlocking jokers rn and messing around
Yeah that’s fair
i dont have to think that much when using flushes
you dont really need to think that much when playing pairs
seems fine tbh
shop rerolling is pretty expensive and inefficient as a tarot source
I’d argue flush is more brainless than pair
with flush i look which color most other colors discard
that's nice, just play and get fun and then you will learn how to gold stake later
i can go into airplane mode when doing paires
take your time to get fun
I hate Violet Vessel
becase in gold stake WE (yes, WE) DON'T like FUN (i hate fun soyjack)
the thing is, with pairs, most of the time you'll just have one in hand anyway, and if you do discard to them, there are so many available possible pairs that very few 5-card discards are actually Actively Bad(tm)
this lets you spend your energy on trying to discard to value-generation instead of to scoring
(seals, gold cards...)
A lot of pairslop jokers straight up have you not discarding (green joker, ramen)
you can absolutely discard with groker
mhm
Yeah but not early
Or they have some sort of condition like RTB
yes you can
even early if you have to
being able to spend $35 plus the cost of enhancement tarots per round is a run that's pretty much won
the difference between 7 and 8 mult at ante 2 small blind is miniscule
i dont understand what youre saying
vampire also has the limit of how many consumable slots you have and arcana/spec packs are in the shop, its not the biggest deal though
Sometimes its fine to rip the band aid off if you have a suit joker that can one shot ante 1 or 2 blinds with a flush
shop rerlling is pretty expensive
chaos the clown
surely purple seals can make up for the defecit
The goat
Even better: 8 ball
lmao true
And hallucination
but i dont consider 8ball for vampire discussion
8ball being the strongest tarot gen
cuz constellation can asspull planet merchant and suddently its not even close
Hallucination is the best tarot gen not named Vagabond (and sometimes you don’t want vagabond)
they help, but that doesnt mean they affect the average enough to make it a fast scaler really
three tarots every hand
how much
what are you asking
If bro gets one oops all 6’s, ggs
neg campfire 🤤
Wait are we back to the vampire discussion
we have BEEN on the vampire discussion
It kinda got off topic for bit
lets say in a round, two tarots can spawn on average
what's the expected value from 2 tarots generated during a round?
edit: question clarity
you don't even need it, with three eightballs the chance of full consumables filled is pretty high
vampire would be a tarot constellation if it gained x0.1 mult per tarot card used
(evolved fortune teller)
doesn't work with all of em
for me its just using the tarots instead of selling it
and yeah i get it, its more active than const
i think its just slightly worse than const
biggest issue as discussed before is that you have to wait till you're in round to power up vampire
vampire is good (without midas or vagabond) IF you have a good economy to keep using up tarots on enhancements, IF you have good enough mult to survive its slow scaling...
if if if
while constellation can just powerup while you're rerolling
bum, fraud even
0.104x per round
and thats assuming you block 1 tarot each time
tbh a lot of things are dependent on good economy
including winning
I've won while broke if the strat is brainless enough
Bro ACTUALLY shout out to that guy who told me to open that arcana pack at the beginning 😭🙏
your run is using tarots either way
I almost won while being almost -$50 in debt once except I actually failed to draw a pair
i feel like vamp just makes me use my tarots instead of selling them
space joker, bus, and madness, didn't even need to touch any shops
because i mean, it can scale faster than some other xmults but it just takes effort
it takes a lot of effort
You don't reaaaaaally wanna use tarots nilly willy cause of the fool ....
o
bro is gonna naneinf
juggler tag skip
Bro yk this is my first successful baron run I’ve never managed to do it 😭😭😭
2 tarots a round is definitely not what most runs will get too
mhm, thats why you usually either need to have good econ or strong tarot gens
blocking 1 tarot is probably not optimal what with "22 choose 2"
Naneinf isn’t in my category lmao
things like hallu or cartomancer wont cut it for vamp
what do you mean not optimal
it improves enhancement tarot odds
Do i take runner or do i take arcana for red card value?
fair
how would it not be optimal, i dont understand
with the given assumption blocking 1 is optimal
runner
for vampire runs id usually go more aggressive on tarot generation
i think runner can keep you alive for enough time
you can't block more with more tarot generation, you need more consumable slots
i wish there were more ways to increase consumable slots
meant like what if just ignore the blocking entirely
other than like. holding fool for a hiero or smt
if only there existed a voucher
would it be too broken to have a joker give you +1 consumable
imagine if magic deck started out with 3 consumable slots that wasn't due to the crystal ball
that increased your slots by 1
then it drops to 0.1x a round
ofc i know about this
not really cause that's technically -1 joker slot in exchange lol
thanks g
even then i wish the max wasnt 3!
but why would you ignore blocking
and dont say perkeo
perkeo
more consumable slots would be very broken
hold every tarot so you always get the one you want
what about a joker that gives you +1
hey guys why is this-nan and not naneinf?
showman should increase the max slots by 2
that would be fine
surely that'll make up for the fact it can no longer block
over over flow
because youre using steamodded
i think a joker that gives a consumable slot would be fun
ohhh okay thanks
fortune teller buff
if juggler gives you +1 hand size and drunkard gives you +1 discard, what would +1 consumable slot be called
would be weird though bc if you sell it you end up with more cards than slots
i wouldn, sorry
I died bc i had no money :((
this happens in so many other scenarios and its fine
does tarot merchant grief omen globe?
wym
no
pls do not perish omg
Showman
+1 comsumable slot, tarots can appear multiple times
the merchant/tycoon vouchers dont affect packs
tarot voucher is just for the shop
I actually still haven't "discovered" planet tycoon on this new profile
insert that one image of someone getting like 5 empress in an arcana pack
why you kinda look like
Gros Michel sticker let's go
ive probably taken planet tycoon less than 80 times in total in like 1000 hours
I once found two hermits 🔥
that's a lot still
80 times ong
I kinda only take it with const
literal bottom roll, if it wasn't rental I wouldn't afford it
at least not without selling Marble Joker, I think I could have done that and won regardless
ya way too much. there's no use case for it
i dont think ive taken planet merchant more than once 😭
there is
Hologram ended the run at an insane x11
it's just not a good one
other than constellation what much is there
campfire
satellite?
FUCK I MESSED UP
oh yeah I guess
Violet vessel?
i cant win without dusk flush five
but you won!
reading challenge
Ohhhhh
ok I thought about a little. there's maybe another 25 jokers (lesser econ, scoring to survive til endless I'd use). then other jokers are just shop clutter 🙂
what is this for naneinf?
how are you managing to lump hallucination in there...
this scares me
e-endl
ss...
it's at most +6 tarots a round, that's not significant in endless
ya, endless beyond throw more glass things. and hallucination should be in util
hey if idol is in "useful for survival" so should Triboulet
more specifically, plasma endless where you usually just win with hand levels and try to avoid using joker slots for anything besides util/econ before score req hits 1M+
ewww triboulet
and I guess it blocks for perkeo if you're that lucky
insane legendary blocking
man trib is so eeeeeyuck!
at least TDL hit something decent but...cmon man
this is a trap
trib is a worse hermit
whats the problem
two pair is easy to draw
tug dug list
only 10 jokers left before I get C++ for the first time
Greedy Joker, Droll Joker, Credit Card, Scary Face, Pareidoila, Burglar, Midas' Mask, Seltzer, Arrowhead, and Showman
ig so
its two pait time me boy
and it lets you greed To Do List
its a sin that you havent stickered arrowhead yet
Nevermind this run is lovely
god forbid I never roll it in any of my runs
Immediately i get a stencil
😭
I haven't seen it in Gold Stake at all yet
as you can oneshot the boss with any two pair that has chips of 30 or higher
dang no burger
im planning on staying at 149 so i dont have to sticker bl
dstone
pareidolia
good luck
the real hard part is seeing it ngl
can relate
seltzer is the only difficult one there tbf
peak uncommon joker moment
pareidolia was also one of my last jokers to see
parei is good enough when it actually does something that it can naturally end up at the win
This is the most benevolent and useful TDL that i've ever gotten
potential joker ❤️🩹
my strongest run with pareidolia was with faceless
step one: get Canio
big chance you'd see Pareidolie one reroll away after, trust
every player with canio stops one reroll before pareidolia and trading card show up
yo wth is my luck today
with the drawback of seeing 0 hungmen in 5 rounds, of course
just take lol you have temperance
well that cant be good
damn
in 2 business years, sure
I played a throwaway high card to get RTB going and then i couldn’t draw shit LMAO
hi
Do you know about the misprint tech?
Does perkeo not do that?
JUDGEMENT
i know but its useless to me
it makes negative consumables which is different, even then its so incredibly rare
.,,,,,,,,,.
thanks
Ohhh I see I see
Icl I lowkey wish u could like pick 5 jokers before a run just to experiment and shit 😭🙏
seeds:
play seeded then
OH IS THAT WHAT THEY DO TOO?
Lmao 300 hours and I never clocked that
day 3 of "dang it can i win on green stake already"
best case it's negative and you get 3 more joker slots. that doesn't open anything else up to naninf (idol is next easiest but needs 16 jokers on plasma)
that is me!
now if you hold 8 saturn with observatory, that one shots gold stake vv pretty easy 🙂
7 would be x12, that'd work too. flint would be bad though
6 would mean 2 straights...
and what happens if crimson heart?
:the_d: 🥹
:the_b: ☺️☺️☺️

we actually have another one named the g lmao
the alphabet...
oh my god 😭😭😭😭
they convey such an emotion
that is really true... overwhelmingly full of joy and whimsy
sometimes I just feel like the_d and nothing else in the world can compare
my greed didnt work out 🥺
Is there an actual deck with all 150 jokers?
TWO FAAACES, TWO FAAAACES /ref
blind scaling is coming
INSANELY LUCKY GUESS
remind me, whats the the hook and trading card tech again exactly?
1 card left in hand after playing hand
with no discards used
ooooookay
can be from hand size or from card removal
what does it do?
the hook triggers tcard without using an actual discard so you can use it multiple times in one round
hand size 8
hang 2
play 5
hook tcards the last card in hand
(rinse repeat)
then you can discard 1 card and still tcard
what is the hook???
boss blind lol
probably by accident
Im glad I saved ghost deck for the very last
Yo what should I copy ?? I always get confused Ik this wasn't a proper lucky card build
But forget that
Let's just see 2 brainstorm and chad and photograph
So should we copy chad or photograph??
sob
almost beat purple stake for the first time
thanks hook 😭
gimmeeeeeeee 😭😭😭
Yo how your screen is like lil rounded ??
Trying to think how I can take this run higher but man
have 6 handsize or less with trading card against hook
its not that hard to have it happen accidentally
I figured it out 🤷♀️
also five card draw forces you to have 5 handsize so it's very likely other people found it that way
i know at least one other person who found it did
just have stuntman then
mhm
How do we feel about this jonkeler placement
stunt+trading+hook is the easiest way to get it
appearantly judgment can spawn negative jokers
Ty vampire and gold card
got almost a 100$ and boots still worse than a dagger i didn't feed for half of the run 😭
Has anyone ever seen a lower amount of a certain suit on Erratic deck?
there's a couple of seeds where you only get a single card 52x times, if that counts
there is the imfaous 10 of spades seed
Photo for scoring, chad for lucky card triggers
or simply use hanged man
feels extremely plausible normal play
there's 35 of those
boots is so ass
it has a bunch of potential and you CAN pivot into it but out of all the +mult scaling
it scales the worse
also basically needs seed money in order to scale well
best one for remembering easily is 06 BRINCY imo
do i death the gold jack here?
do you have any better cards
nah
seems safe enough
alr thanks
convert the 7 yea
So like 1 in billion seed idol is useful
probably more than 1 in a billion
huge xd
Oh there is 2.3 trillion seeds
Here win run
black deck is actually such a pain in the ass how do yall approach it
might be trading card that goes idk
just lost +106 swash run to BELL
seed with 3 nat negatives and 3 negative tags in the first 8 antes
or actually probably blimbo
rip
i was handed GOLD and i fucked it up
Constellation but its an eternal rental 😭 😭 😭
bell sniped my glass king when there wasnt another king to play pair
why did glass matter if you had a +104 swash
shit thats massive
what was your full setup
Holo swash
Photochad
Foil gift card
Holo card sharp
5 useless negatives
do i criptid the red king or save the criptid for a possible perkeo
Hologram constellation
think imma just use it now i HATE perkeo naneinf
what hands were you playing
okay no one negative wasnt useless that nat negative business card did save me
pairs 🐎🔥🔥🔥🔥
level?
THREE
????
Cryptid king because there is no ante past ante 8
you got two levels in 8 antes
wow there isnt?
i found TWO planets in the 7th ante and never again
both from high priestess lucky drops
i dont think the shop was the issue tbh
level 3 pair by a8 when youre playing pairs is a bit ridiculous
i mwan ywah it is a skill issue but
esp with photochad which relies on base mult
rather tragic i fucked it up
swash was your main scoring there then, not photochad
i skipped on ante 7 blueprint too, should have killed photo for it to chad up the glass
😭
25k short 🐎🔥
was everything else eternal?
not at all
only one random negative was eternal
hell yeah troubadour, castle and acrobat have gold stickers now. only 61 jokers away from c++
oh
yeah im just stupid okay
then why didnt you drop card sharp or swash or gift for it
never using photochad aka not knowing whats better to do with it 🐎
(for the better)
"for the better" you lost 😭
still have pairslop mindset of card sharp = awesome
How does one get c+ without ever using photochad
deserved for playing photochad
im like 8 uncommons left and 30ish commons to Gold Sticker, michel is stickerless, would you prioritize getting Michel first or any of the uncommons for gold sticker? like when you have a choice in ante 8 shop
card sharp IS awesome, the main argument is gift card or swash getting dropped
honestly yeah i shoukd have dropped gift because by that point it accumulated a lot of value already
i would prioritize michel unless you have bean or seltzer as uncommons and are offered them
damnit
also make sure to make enhancements for any enhancement jokers u have left
what if you see cola, like literally me right now
unstickered
its okay it wasnt actually my fault its all curse of photochad
okay
pick your poison
michel self destructs, cola doesnt
Showman and it is not even close
100% stuntman
God
both*
I keep swapping him
wait hollup true
stuntman sets up bean/juggle/troub crimson as well
aight pray my michell doesnt break
baron is the best joker because he has a cool crown obviously
does rebate go for this?
max ante if im lucky enough
burglar king
stickering on white stake 🫃
i wasnt looking at the full screenshot okay
if youre going for endless/naneinf i would drop chad or scary for it
bold play cuz i die next round if i do that
I edged
whats your deck looking like
good point ive been playing high card with damn scary face xd
oh telescope and blue seal
do you have steel in deck such that your mimes are contributing meaningfully to your score?
abt to have a red seal steel yh
mad shit xd
lvl 20 high card
think i gotta play a pair of red kings
ok thank god
also gave stickerless Zany a chance in like ante 2, thank god he delivered too
white steak
damn son
this run is going places w
why are your tarot cards lame? 😭
ok
think i can start going mult scoring soon
5 7s, 68, 69, no 67
what is your deck like
and there it is
absolutely fucking mad run lvl 20 high card aswell
both treasure on plasma white
man that was a smooth transition to mult
mmmmmmroght
has thunk made more “little leaks” like the banana joker , matador rework, blue stake rework,… lately?
Tag yourself I'm Nick
no I'm Nick
there is no point to white stake plasma other than freeplay tbh
its just sandbox mode
I guess the rizzler suits me then
should keep you alive while you look for baron
Rizzler
or while i make more red steels yh
Why is the plasma deck so hard
have any of you ever done a speedrun of Balatro
is it rebate yet or golden ticket
my best time is 4:23 in yellow deck
Oh bull carried
can litterally do ante 8 with just 500 chips
bull+econ is goated
FUCKING HUGE
agh who to kill
prolly mime
probably photo
hm
nah definitely not
making me alot of money and score
or maybe it is actually
@pale wolf acorn used to be that it shuffles jokers every hand
do you have steels
I think you die without photo?
hello
making me 15 a round but im making 20 interest and loads with my golds+mime
definitely golden card that goes rn
holding gold cards makes more money for me rn cuz of 2mimes
ignore drivers license because I got it on the final shop, I beat ante 10 with chips alone
after that the score just gets too big
Oh how does one lose white stake plasma deck
not knowing how it works
and playing like it a normal run
think i can get rid of photo chad for these 2
its 16x score
and im scoring 2b with it
hmm
So much money left. So little to spend on

just wait for the bean bug on ante 32
Oh yeah that's definitely true. Basically sandbox
not sure if i can afford to
question: this would technically be money positive at plus 1 dollar a round, but it hurts my interest before it gives the dollar, right? Am I understanding that correctly?
Yeah
It's better to not take it
thought it might be
but hurting interest really just turns it money neutral (-4, +4)
so worst case, neutral
best case, +1
ya
so it’s probably not bad to take it
and then -1 for the initial purchase. it doesn't become neutral again until sold.
oh yeah… that part too
i forgot rentals actually cost something initially
you dont want it
either way it's bad because it blocks a potentially unstickered golden joker
5 gold stakes done now (green, checkered, zodiac, abandoned, blue)
what gs other than black should i do next?
hi guys any for play_
abandoned
it wouldnt really be that difficult still which is funny
like a 4x buff but still bad 😭
ok
looking at you, hiker.
would be really annoying if you had blueprint
Well take it or not I could not get money rolling with such a low starting income and never found chips
with how many tricks there are against acorn, i dont think it would really be that big of a deal
believe it or not I had a run where I had to reroll acorn or I lost
acorn killed me once i had 4 brainstorms and 1 ancient joker and i forgot i only had 3 hands
i was dumb and didnt know i could move ancient to the right
wdym move it to the right
brainstorm is leftmost
i move my ancient joker to the right
so i move it left after the round starts
they mean hold it as the jokers shuffled.
oh
but this is a VERY specific case
but i just assumed
strush
flushes with an extra club i assume
four fingers let me play a non club
AKZIW
Lmao
and with that many discards I could always find myself one
but the score was a bit lacking if the copiers were not positioned right
I guess I could have held a joker for brainstorm but idk
what were you scoring per hand? because if you can score 200k or more with optimal copies then you can score 100k in 1 hand without optimal blueprint
I don't remember
i played a royal flush run
🔥
its wild that lusty is still better to have here
right?
I hate Bloodstone
over 50% better with lusty
abandoned deck is so stupid istg 😭
😭
i had two purple seals since like ante 4 and it only gave me lovers and empresses 😢
1.0.1c bloodstone, my beloved...
even this one
yes
:(
especially that one
why
bloodstone
yipee
2x makes more sense
Argil, please play any other deck ❤️🩹
abandoned my goat
Does it just say nope after using the soul when you have all 5 legendaries?
jimbo
jimbo
bbbbbut abandoned
was trying to make another acrobat and accidentally made concept art for an alien movie
oh my god bruh
nerf..?
hey guys , how does vampire joker interact with a stone card generated from marble joker? does it go up in smoke , does it do nothing at all, does it give a random card?
this is showing that it used to be so much worse
vampire reveals the card underneath it
if vampire is to the left of bus and the underlying card is a face card, bus will reset
if vampire is to the right, bus will not reset even if the stone card is a face card
(unless splash, etc)
vampire removes the stone enhancement and reveals the card underneath
thats not what they asked
the first sentence is.
What was thunk thinking 😭
this was quite an early build tbf
marble Joker makes random cards with Stone enhancement yes
But are you kidding me?? And I missed ANDY too
AND the discard voucher
The Burglar stolen my game
Sell it :)
the burglar scaled your pants hopefully
you're winning anyways
Burglar death
and gold
no need to worry too much
everyone probably misses a bunch of interactions through their run
how many rounds before the showdown blind anyway
but it's ok you win anyways
Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh
see
Baseball is so beautiful
White Stakes 🤮
boo
👻
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ghastly act
u called?
I was thinking about how many of the early generations of pokémon names were just words in English spelled wrong or cut off short
No FUCKING WAY
whoever had the job of naming the gen1 pokemon must have had a blast
Black Deck suuuuuuuuuucks
it's the same in Japanese, without translations, right?
i mean as in being words spelled wrong or word play
I don't know Japanese 🦓
me neither 👀
I'm not considering things like rapidash in this, that's actually clever
muk is the word muck
Everyone: Modern pokemon designs are so lazy and uninspired.
Krabby:
Seel
design inspiration: It's a seal
what about Shown Furcotte
or Raul Chamgerlain
A bit too fancy sounding
More of a Mike Truk kinda household
I have always been partial to Mike truk
I think the first time I saw that image was in a jontron video
