#Joker Community Ranking

blueprint S (100%) LOL
i mean yeah
Gros Michel S tier π
to do list...
Banana fans stay winning
how do we hide the total results so they don't influence our ranking? π
you do it first (like me)
Bro this is such a cool experiment
If you do it on mobile you can scroll the screen to only see your choices
I zoomed in and scrolled up so I can't see them π
results
It's always overkill. Yes it's useful getting insane numbers final blinds, but it is never useful just beating the game
but a c??
am I lagging what
and also, it's super useful when you are trying to win (4x is insane)
OH WAIT I CANT POST IMAGES
yo who gave the "all planet cards in shop are free" joker s tier
Yes, but by that point if you're thinking of sacrificing a joker slot a blind or so early then you're probably going to win anyway
Compare this to stencil, which is practically a free 2x in the final blind
okay, but it's super easy to plan out when your 4x is going to be
vs stencil which is only 2x in the final boss or if you purposely lose another joker
Yes, but you can never get it in the final fight without some way to increase hand number
sounds like you kinda suck at timing
this is fun
who is giving bus c π§π»ββοΈ
lmao
@fast aurora You need six hands for it to work. You usually have to at least waste a joker slot on the second last blind to get it to work
me 
π«
how dare
or just get it to be active/active soon during plant
there you go easy win
feel free to post results here
But you still have to waste a joker slot during plant, which if you need it to win the final blind, you probably need that slot
my vote bugged on misprint of all things lmao
if you need EVERY single joker to beat plant then you wouldn't win verdant even with loyalty
heres my votes https://imgur.com/a/6v4uElF
link's broken
fixed
GROS MICHEL IS DOWN IN B
no gifs/images in this thread
would be good if you didn't put loyalty in b
ive had it break on me alot, and i play speedruns so a chance to break is not good for us
My psionic warriors. Vote S for the banana.
that ones just personal vendeddta cant lie
Files work now?
and i don't like you
Also can you send a file in #πγ»polls itself?
I'm saying that if you beat plant, you will probably beat verdant 80% of the time, regardless of whether or not you picked up loyalty. It's just for the big number go up hehe
loyalty looks like it has eyes and I can't get over it
no permission to post in #πγ»polls
Thank you
TF is business doing in f
you mean in every other thread, ye
I'll close the other thread
yep
abandoned deck
its just not as a good as the other money cards especially cuz its a chance
damn, ceremonial dagger and superposition are really duelling it out for last place
if it was a confirmed thing itd be good
stencil isn't s btw
I main abandoned; doesn't mean I don't envy the usage of business
also why did burglar drop so hard
dusk in d is insane
depends on your criteria
ngl alot of these are wrong dont hate me lmao
yup
the thing is dusk never actually wins a run, it's only good if you're going for high score
its cause you either yellow or your abandoned
I feel like supernova is a beginner's trap; I used to adore it but now I find it okay I guess
reletivlty good chip gainer tho (not great but yuh)
i put it in s cuz its good for speedruns
if you go funny high card build with bus, supernova is basically another bus
put it in s cuz normally your only going for one hand type anyways
i will not stand for Cartomancer in C
It's basically the only reason I pick it up anymore lol
i have never had anything good come out of it
π ππ»
carto is just S, superposition/8 ball but hella more easy to proc
bus moment
its based on whichever tier gets the most votes, not an average of all votes
π
just alone the fact that blueprint is considered S by everyone that voted rn lmao
exactly what i mean lmao
half joker in c in total rankings hurts me
also juggler in A is crazy
agreed-
whoever is putting ride the bus in c should be sent to state penitentiary
where should it be?
if blackboard has one fan, i am that fan
burglar in S mmm yes very good
It would be a really good card if not for the fact that the SECOND BOSS walls it
s teir all the way babeh
rerolls
even tho u dont get it all the time ofc
ngl its only 1.6k
juggler is divisive, i put it in S but it could probably have been A
I love Juggler a lot but I don't think it is as impactful as any of the other S tier jokers
juggler is just generally a really strong card tho
i havent tested it but does blueprint work with juggler
also S and A are very close π
I feel like juggler is really good, but it doesn't really let you win. It doesn't give any bigger scores, just makes your scores more consistent. I'll usually use it early-mid game
no but imagine 12 card deck
juggler isn't as strong as other S tiers, but i have it in S because it's common
no
u wont have to imagine in full release cuz trubador
banana in S ong ong ong ong ong
ong
shadow's got all the food in S
juggler is the best common, followed by misprint
and burnt joker
u hungry mate?
what's trubador
banana enjoyer :)
Banan go hehe S trololol
misprint go crazy
- 2 hand size, -1 hand
I made ONE mistake, I think Hiker is A
just worse juggler
No way hiker A
but stacks
your mistake was a mistake
tf fibbonacci and five fongors in C???????
wot
in the full game I like the dual commons of Mime + Steel joker making each steel card in hand +30 mult
why
yeah, ran out of milky pretzel thingys
rip
those the best petzels
cuz juggler used to be worse when trubador was in the old early release
well ice cream, banana, and egg together make banana custard, so enjoy :)
maybe Trubador will be buffed then?
pls stop-
most likely
+50 hand size but also - 48 hand size
probz reworked ong
very fair
fibonnacci is 8 dollars and rare, and only good early game
4 fingers is a waste of a spot if you have a good straight/flush build
+3 hand size, -1 Discard
fib is uncommon tf?
fib is "only" $7 iirc
fifth fongors is hella strong for straight AND flushes what are you on rn lol
I meant rare as in hard to find, I should have said scarce
four fingers can make ||flush houses|| a lil easier, one of them can be off color
Fib is just a worse even steven but it's still good
same with straight flushes but for straights or flushes
true, but I feel like the only time you go for those is when you have a tarot/tarot adderas to do it
i put four fingers in A only because it enables straight flush builds super easily
wait nvm it buffs aces
Fib + A2345 straights is fun
fifth fongors go crazy even tho it doesnt seem like it
probably +3 hand size, -1 hand | cuz juggler used to be just +1 hand size
Four fingers makes my brain hurt
hot take: people are (slightly) undervaluing Dagger
That is most certainly a hot take
doubt its only good synergy is
e g g
and polys ig but polys are good
me when mystic summit exsists and can top dagger in most cases
for me Dagger is in D since in the demo at least it's only viable with egg, the rest don't give enough mult unless you have a lot of money
it takes work to stack, but can pop off if you're careful
even without egg
20+ mult
i have a hotter take: astronemer worst util joker and worst uncommon
It's such a huge money sink and doesn't give anywhere the mult it really should for the input required...
banana stocks are back up β
YES THEY ARE
banana in s lmao
bro said "hot take" and then delivered one of the most common statements in this server lmao
tell that to the nine people that put it in C fsr
and the one goober that shoved it in S lmaoooo
oh hey, odd todd is in A. didn't think many people liked chips jokers
π€¨
TIP THE SCALES
f-
WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE
It's just... fine tho. Not great, but it's still a minimum of $2 every blind
i put naner in C cry abt it :trollface:
im looking at the 90 joker list
GROS MICHEL FOREVER
i am an agent of chaos. i put scholar in B
scholar in A for me
i put Michel in B but he should have gone in A
does egg even count as synergy
i apologize
it only synergizes with Dagger once you yeet it
scholar in A because A is for Aces
my favorite strategy is melting the icecream and making it give me 0 chips
B for banana
and not selling it because im stubborn
yeah
exactly my reasoning
damn, no gifs? cringe
cringle
I've talked some shit, so here's my terrible list
ONE OF US
why the hell are you people shoving burgler in S
If Hiker was +2 how much higher would it be
seeing the no-embed gif with "gigachad-chad-gif" is really funny though so consider doing it on purpose as a bit in the future
marble is not D
what's that
omg wtf
D
not very as its still 5 antes
marble underrated :(
hikers good in a endless scenario
reposting my list for more criticism
I put marble in C just because it's the easiest way to get stone
SO true bestie
hiker is fun with gold seals and mid with anything else
Stone is bad though
I tend to only use it in high card builds, which are usually already pretty bad to begin with
GOLDEN in S???
honestly fair
i like marble a lot but it is b tier
stone is decent when it comes to half joker and stuff
high card most op wym
Burglar is a lot better for money making than golden
yes
As is business card
cry golden is by far the easiest to make money with
I have had a serious and continuous lapse in judgement
u gotta mix it with a high card or pair build
You can't blueprint golden
business card is ew goofy poopy rng
lucky cards
how do you figure? it at most gives $3 per round
chad
y e s
It carried my ace high straight run
try playing without full house and flush, it'll change your life ;)
π
the 4 fingers marble joker slush enjoyer
imagine using todo list to make money
My list
Rarely deviate from those 3
Yeah yeah the demo hates face card builds
the ultimate chad gamer move
superposition + blueprint carried my ace-high straight run
To do list is still D
dead ass all it would have to do is remove the chance it bumpos from D to A
fr
surprising the community puts scary face in B
I put scary face in D, personally
its only +20
You have never felt the satisfaction of getting $10 from it
It's a free 100 chips what
i put it at A only because im a golden decker
Just...no face card synergy, plus it's not even many chips
cuz its a chance :3
what deck are you playing that is 100% face cards lmao
Ok maybe it's not D, that was harsh
Probably C
guys why are we even fightin about this the best strat is obviously dont buy jokers
oujia yellow deck
When we get Pareidolia and Sock n Buskin back, these things will be a lot better
Only buy stencil
me pov:
i mean it's good but face cards are not a good synergy in the demo since one boss is guaranteed to shut down your strategy
wym do tarot not exist or smth
i have the worst opinions lol
the fact that people believe stencil isnt S kinda cwazi
i put it at a
it's been auto-updating for me
for me stencil is free x2
They're just crying over their missing joker slot
banana moved to C D:
btw thank u thunk for setting this up, goat
carto supremacy
usually having 3 other jokers is enough
How the fuck is constallation in S
I don't get it
It takes soooo long to get to +10 mult
LET'S GO
Banana is worse abstract joker
real
nvm refreshing took me back to my tier list
And people use abstract joker a LOT
Hot take: I don't like boss effects on cards. Just shuts down different strats, and limits your builds in an unfun way
the final boss being Verdant is definitely coloring that
me when carto orginally duped tarots:
u have never used a telescope voucher and it shows
constellation almost always gets me to at least x2 mult
I do
my point exactly
@tender thistle this has been your best idea since creating this game
Perkeo
flush joker seems low rated imo. easy +10 mult for a reliable hand
@tender thistle I second this
sometimes i just hold stencil for verdant and only verdant
i third this
Droll definitely bumps up a flush build
Iβm surprised that michel is S but ice cream is B when they are very similar
my list
the amount of times ive gotten droll in the shop-
I'm sorry
scary face is mostly bad because plant is guaranteed
banana lover....
Why is this one S tier
A S T R O N O M E R
michel is in S because B A N A N A
i hate DNA alot but it is not D
good in abandoned deck
Can we all agree astronomer is D
bro is trolling so hard with that astronomer placement
Why do I see so many people putting supernova above bus wtf
astronomer is M teir
they dont used abandoned
its really good
abandoned deck = bus good
bus good = play a lot of hands
play a lot of hands = supernova good
lets go blueprint stil has 100% S teir
i use it really often bth
I put bus in A
tbh
i play yellow deck usually, and most often use a face card flush house deck
supernova + constellation literally is the speedrunning meta
the real crime is splash all the way up in c tier
bus good = play any hand without faces for the mult
dawg i cant wait for brainstorm lol
bro explained the laws of theromodynamics with a rogue gambling card game
supernova good = you can only play 1 hand
Even before I started using abandoned, I used bus more in yellow deck over supernova. They're both good still, but supernova is def not better than bus
Bus only works if you get it early
isn't that true for almost every run?
bus is bad because i canβt play royal flush
I feel that a lot of builds are like this though
1 or 2 good hands
it is to me tbh
fair but supernova doesnt have that bruh frick im a dumb idiot for playing this moment
^^
But supernova only works if you only play 1 hand type
don't most runs only play 1 hand type mostly though?
dont remind me π₯Ά
i did π¨
Supernova really does start working against itself after some time. Bus doesn't have that issue, you can still just play worse high card hands, unlike supernova where you're forced to play good hands you're prepping for verdant
supernova works if you pick it up at the end of the run, but bus doesn't
again, pretty sure most runs rely on one hand type
supernova and bus are probably both equal tbh, they give you the same gameplay loop basically
wait do yall prefer splash over stone cards
Not the wheel crashing my bus by making me play a flush instead of a high card
this
their pros and cons of each weigh out to them being equal
stone cards better frfr
imo bus is slightly more situational than supernova, but thatβs probably more from my own gameplay experience
I can easily get 40+ mult with bus, but only can get 25 or so with supernova
I think bus is better than supernova but supernova is also super good
fr, we are the supernova stans
me when carto is consider A from most of you
FISH REACT THEM
FISH REACTION
i think they're about even tbh but I play way too much yellow deck and so my opinions are tainted
ride the bus is D for me
okay no one laugh but i always thought the jokers had tiny bodies
WHAT
WHAT
oh like Colonel Sanders
okay while we're all sharing different opinions about bus vs nova, we can all agree this is wrong
lmaoo
If you put ride the bus any lower than B I'll lose my bus licence
EVEN MORE WHAT
lol yeah i thought the buret thing was a body
bus and nova both bad ||cry abt it||
Bus mad DNA burglar are not D
most of this I agree with except for bus, DNA, egg, burglar, to-do list, the straight joker and ok actually you're just wrong
burglar is pretty situational ngl
Anyone having issues with the link on mobile?
bus and nova are both game winning jokers π€·ββοΈ
Yeah, but it's a free $3 if you use it right
Worked perfectly for me on mobile
its t h r e e d o l l a
who cares abt t h r e e d o l l a when u running yellow
works for me iphone 13
what they said
Abandoned deck users rn: ;-;
red deck users rn
i think the thing for me why burglar is better than golden joker is that burglar works with blueprint
blank image
i still gotta set a record in one of our catgorys with red deck for hell of it
burglar has a lot of good interactions
wtf is does?
money, blueprint, bus, supernova, discard tag (it works!), etc.
so what you get 6 hands?
and some bad ones
since when
burglar is pretty alright
I was a burglar supporter, and I never knew this
burglar also negates a boss
2 bosses
hot take: smeared is the worst rare
crazy
crazy? i was crazy once, they put me in a roo-
What are your thoughts on banner vs mystic summit? I kinda feel that banner is underrated and summit is slightly overrated
smeared is the most situational yeah, but I think most of the time it's arguably better than DNA
banner becomes trash during water
Crazy is common?
Summit is pretty good, banner is pretty bad but not terrible
bigger hands want summit as they are going to have higher chips anyways
Zany, crazy, droll and mad are all common
tbh i think dna is the worst rare
crazy? i was crazy onc-
agree
You take that back. It carries foak builds
imo it depends on the kind of build
If youβre doing an anything goes or small hand build then banner is probably better, if you are setting up high-scoring hands then summit is
DNA is certainly a bit annoying if you have no good cards to copy
so you think smeared is the worst?
As a speedrunner Iβm kinda biased towards banner tbh
i think dna helps you get crazy scores
tbh yeah no dna is prolly worse
but it doesn't make me go "oh sick my run is saved"
Smeared defines the run
smeared carries slush and flouse builds
guys todo list is S teir trust me yesyes
And smeared does?
Hi folks, heres my tier list as a 30 hour Baladdict
smeared is more run-defining than DNA
heheha i sell smeared whenever i get it because i dont like it
yes absolutely
banana lover and average cartoer lol
Yes
i mean not if you already have a winning setup
Join #1165796081209188372
i will not-
You cannot resist
8ball in A kinda cwazi
i sure can-
Its not as consistent as Golden Joker econ wise
i can accept Cartomancer ending up in A tier
why did u shove carto below 8ball π
my feelings are forever hurt now
I don't think smeared is bad, but it plays a role the same way that four fingers or juggler does. It offers consistency over points. And when you don't rake in enough points per hand, consistency doesn't matter
yeah. yellow deck is so fun with it. buying out the shop nearly every time
All my rankings within each tier are equal good
in a game where a little bit of bad luck ends your run, consistency is the most important thing
me when i never buy hone/reroll surplus/wasteful
and flush builds are very easy to make good
i played a king on accident, the bus should be deleted honk honk
imagine deleting buses with a king
I am proud we all agree Blueprint is S
fr 32 on S 100% on S
I think the Joker with a hole in it that gives x2 Mult is the worst of the x2 Mult Jokers
the only downside to a flush build is the lack of consistency, which 4 fingers and smeared joker both give you, but smeared is better because it revolves purely around the flush
because less Jokers is less fun :<
Verdant leaf,
It pops off then
fair but its still S (also your talking abt stencil)
And DNA doesn't give consistency? fishing for an ace foak will usually carry you through the first half of the game, while smeared doesn't do anything for your points
i always find blackboard harder to proc over stencils viability
not if you get a stupid amount of tarots
and a polychrome loyalty card also helps
that was until I got negative stencil joker in shop
fifth fongors
I always thought of flush builds as the easiest to pivot into
being able to play a flush every single hand = points
fifth fongors superiority
DNA is in the dusk camp for me, where it's good for getting high scores but never really carries a run
I gotta say it looking fine when its negative
DNA also costs a hand to play
and it requires a lot of wasted hands to actually scale to the point of creating value
agreeable of all of these
AND you have to get it early enough
Supernova got my Flush deck to win after nearly a whole game of weak Jokers
A flush gives you 1/4 of the points that a foak gives, and usually takes up all of your hands, while foak will usually win in one hand
ayo banana just moved to B
YES
WHO DARES
yeah which is my point really. DNA doesn't help you win, it just gets you crazy numbers
i shoved naner in c
Kudos to the 10 people who know Gross Michael is S
im surprised the +2 cards is s tier. its not particularly essential for a win
crazy numbers are a good thing
carto deserves over gross bananas
flush builds give you plenty of points to win all antes
consistency
your potassium is stinky ngl
banana goes extinct (real)
embed fail momen
yea I put DNA in A tier, it can absolutely define a run but it's quite risky and needs to come very early to be that good
loyalty
D TIER
It gives you crazy numbers early, which allows for a run to form. Smeared starts struggling relatively early in comparison if the planets don't align
Scary face and dagger are tied for coolest designs as the worst joker
not pog
Its only good early game
not really, 3oak scales decently
or high card with stones
if your desperate
It would be an A for me if the second boss didn't body it
oh comn its 2nd boss, its only running 1.6k
even the squiggly banana could handle 1.6k
loyalty card would be A tier for me if it actually let me redeem free irl food once in a while
wow you guys put superposition in D? I've had it put in work, it's super wonky but it seems leagues better than everything else in D
Don't you dare talk down to banana
if you can't get 1600 points with like a decent couple flushes that's a skill issue
i will
this just appeared in my first shop
||cry about it im a naner hater||
so I didnt take it
Completely agree, but it doesn't help how it's early game usage is hampered for a roadblock right where it should be useful
wait no it's 50x5
yea I use half joker pretty frequently, I ended up putting it in A but B would maybe be more fair
50x7 would be pretty pog ngl
50x7 is straight lvl2 iirc
blueprint still 100% S teir les go
actually i think it's 60x7
yuh
but 3oak 50x5
50x20
so its witterally base 1000
no extra multis or chips
half joker go crazy
what I really wanna know is where this crowd of raised fist enjoyers came from, I find it super annoying and not that great
I guess it's really good with high card?
raised fist can go kinda hard, but only if you have control over your remaining hand
imo 20 max mult for the work isn't much better than a 10-15 mult with less conditions
cya, hope you have a good one
I feel like only high card gives you that much agency over which cards you'll have left, if you're running straight/flush/5oak forget about it
yeah the only low hands pretty much
I mean, in the space where you do have control over your hand then blackboard goes way better
i wish the live tiermaker would order cards within tiers based on how close on the vote they are to moving to another tier
That'd be epic
incorrect
no more banana stocks π
one can dream....
These are the jokers that helped me win the run I had JUST NOW
is that a negative gold?
banana
true
both bus and nova have been kicked out of S
:(
Rate my tierlist
Banana in D TIER?!?!?!
banana stocks have never been lower :(
this is my list but there's Too Many at S
you just like things :)
Oh its good?
this might be the most a community has agreed on anything
well I accidentally make Business Card A tier so whoopsies for me on the poll vote
did fix it afterward but this is my list anyway
a bit weird contributing to Demo rankings, since many of these would change going into ante 10 runs. tried to be as objective as i can. also would prefer 6+ tiers, too many ended in B. (bus is also in B, i fat fingered)
superposition's an easy D cause like
not only does it require a specific build, AND a specific setup,
but it's pretty much overshadowed by 8 ball, requiring only two 8s
I think lots of B is pretty good since it follows the normal distribution bell curve
Superposition would be a lot better if it gave a planet AND a tarot, not one or the other
That, or allowing wraparound straights
yeah
tbf like the theme of Superposition is great but the efforts are not worth it
still think it is one of the most clever theme cards in the demo tbh
My biggest shocks here so far are probably:
- Banana down in B despite the cult following
- Juggler in S despite no pure score bonus
- Cartomancer in A
Cartomancer is nice, βfree tarots = goodβ
cartomancer's an easy S tier tbh
tarot cards are really really good
blueprint + cartomancer's also yummy
my experience:
- Banana is chancy. You risk the chance of extinction so sometimes it may not be worth it if rng unfavors you
- Juggler makes everything more viable. Boring but practical options
- Cartomancer is basically buying 1 arcana booster pack at the start of every round. More random but card is still card
Cartomancer being A is also related to both 8 ball and Superposition being lower than I thought they would be
And Banana is just good vibes
It'd get S votes with a 0 mult
I was mostly surprised by (some) people voting Hiker D and Burglar S
me same
Burglar has the widest range it looks like
you might think that Burglar's good cause it lets you play more hands
but the true use for burglar
is giving you a chance for +3 more money per round
more hands = more money
This is a Cartomancer appreciation zone
Only ordered by letter, not reordered within their groups.
Superposition is probably mu least used card in this game
i dont think its any good as cartomancer tops it as its unlikely that you'll get a the combo u need for it once let alone getting it twice that would make it "better" than cartomancer
compared to 8ball itβs way way harder to pull off and only pays out (i assume) half the time
the banana is just simply a meme, nothing more ig
who the hell put stencil in D
wait someone literally put stencil in D
damn
I really don't wanna question their playstyle
well, thunk said vote by any criteria you want
Oh my, Bus in S
π
I was 100% certain the debate would just be around what the correct voting criteria should be, and since there are so many perspectives here I feel like that's not possible
A community ranking should also represent many perspectives of what 'good' and 'bad' are for a Joker imo
S is the Jokers with the fewest reasons not to take
the lower the ranks you go, the more reasons you need to have to take
for example, the moment I see Blueprint I press the buy button like its second nature
its usually not hard to differentiate some "obvious" good and bad. you can argue about econ things, playstyle things. but things that are free and doesnt require you to do anything will be usually higher
Meanwhile if I see Ceremonial Dagger, I think about how the game gives you unplayable art pieces in the shop sometimes, admire the art, and ignore the fact that it has a buy button when you click it
also specifically for bus, i really suspect that its mainly due to the limitation of the chosen decks for demo. i doubt it would be in S in current state, if abandoned deck would be not there. demo things really limit the perspective
dusk is a pretty good example of that i think
fairly even over the ranks compared to other jokers so far
its 100% necessary for the gamebreaking highscores in the demo, but otherwise not very useful
XD
as someone who put stencil in B, needing 2 slots is not great imo
i've played bus with yellow deck, it still works.
scary face on the other hand is badly hurt by the plant, if that didn't appear every game i'd consider face card builds more.
being able to cheese verdant leaf:
(unless you're somehow broke)
glad everyone agrees superposition sucks
sad to see the hiker disbelievers tho
nuh uh
please explain
he is not very good but he isn't d
splash and hiker is fun and pretty viable if you get them relatively early and juice your rounds
i put him in C
but S for fun for sure
only cards truly worth being in d are superposition and planetomancer imo
lol this is my contribution to balatro
I think thats what it should be
Planetomancer nets you one planet card for free at the start of each round
while also making planets in the shop free
I feel like it'd improve it
Sure constellation still exists and would be like π at the thought
But it'd make the joker very much good and viable
mostly.
Could do the alternative for Cartomancer
make it the same as planetomancer but for tarots (give 1 tarot for free + free tarots in shop)
honestly a pretty good idea
i would just say nerf constellation after that to maybe x.075
to give astroneer the best synergy with that aswell as have telescope strats at the same time
would probably be busted in full release tho as observatory voucher (the upgraded telescope) gives u a planet pack upon entering the shop
ooooo, much better
ya yeet
heres mine, probably a few weird ones due to my massive straight bias
banana at B?
how do i undo or move an option, i misclicked
ye
Who is the one person who put blueprint in B?
what a joker they are
I mostly did it by vibes
I put Dusk too low in hindsight, it's the same tier as Loyalty Card (can save a borderline run)
im of the opinion golden joker is s tier
golden joker is extremely good but it's not run-defining
I put scholar in S. I have had so many runs be based of it
My list
Finally a person that puts splash in S
What the heck why is everyone putting it on C/D π€£
The card's just not that good, specially with how it does nothing in most meta strategies
Doing nothing in 5oak, flush or full house means the majority of runs don't use it, and using it in 4oak is really really bad compared to what else you could be doing with that joker slot
Yea, I donβt normally take Splash
In builds with 4 or more cards it's useless or neglectible, and in builds with 3 or less cards it conflicts with shredded joker, which is the biggest reason to even go for these builds
my list
DNA and smeared in S π€’π€’
dna is easy S
smeared is high A imo
both high a imo
dna is probably the second or third best S behind blueprint and maybe constellation
I donβt need card dupe that often
I wonβt take bus early on even on abanoned because I never farmed anything successfully
it just doesnβt scale that fast
you don't need it but what it can offer for a run is huge
especially since its one of the only synergies with deck card editions
bus is just boring but it is S imo
maybe like the actual top of A
bboard isn't bad but definitely has a limit to its usefulness like stencil
just takes a lot more alteration to get there
so i put it in A
I feel like to do list is probably low A or high B
to do list sucks i put it in C i think
you get hard blocked by straight flush and i swear it gives it to me as the second hand each time lol
I have much better luck
Also procing once and selling
is still net profit
provided you didnβt need the slot for smth else
golden joker is just a free to do list each blind
and most blinds you can usually only proc to do list once before you have to start focusing on chips
I once procced it 2 times a blind
the other time 3 times and I still won the blind
golden is def. super though
to do list is great if you can afford to burn thru all your hands for money
but at that point your deck is so strong why do you need the money? its purpose is a little bit self defeating unless you get lucky, which isn't a bad thing
i like to see how much the community loves a basic joker like juggler lol
juggler is really really good for a common
and pretty much necessary if you take a lot of spectrals
i think it'd be cool to add an edition that gives +1 hand size
Burglar would be somewhere around A for me
You can BP it at round start to get free hands
and itβs a free sell at leaf
otherwise just generally buffs your income slightly
I dunno about you but
4 fingers seem pretty bad to me
Usually if Iβm on a flush run I would never lack that last card
I also donβt have the luck to go full straight flush
I guess itβs good for straight and sf runs
I find straights too bad though
thereβs runner sure
and superpos
and the new ver buf
butβ¦
do you know the four fingers trick for straight flushes?
yea
ok
Straights just seem too inconsistent to me
even with fingers
because there isnβt an easy way to buff the luck with tarots
unlike flushes where you spam suitconv
or house/oak builds where death/strength helps
I like smeared for either straight flush or flush house builds, it lets me take either one of the 2 tarots that are black instead of just one
I am super surprised to see Supernova in S rank! How are people using it?
After this Blueprint is getting hard nerfed and ruined dagger is gonna get hard buffed
yep same, its ight A maybe definately not S
Idk, but I suppose if you only play one hand type, you can really build it,
then youβre really easy to otk blinds
because you probably buffed the hand real hard
It seems to me that Supernova can maybe get up to x15 at the very end of a run if you really focus on it, but cards like Even Steven and Fibonacci can get there far more easily
haha yea, I love 5oak builds with aces and ouija
Why is splash not in D tier, can someone explain please, Ive never used it properly part of a build so yea
splash can sorta clutch out if you absolutely need to,
high card/pair/3oak builds and you donβt see stone cards for some reason I guess
immediate D for me though
If you only play one hand, then it's likely getting you out in 1-2 turns per blind, preventing Supernova from climbing. If you're playing lots of hands per blind, it's likely that they're a bunch of different hand types, again keeping Supernova from getting good.
I'm with you on this one, Splash is terrible
yeah itβs terrible
i love how Almost everyone put blueprint in S
That 1 guy who put it in B tier
Most of the builds(flush house, straight, sf, flush, house, flouse) use 5 cards alr
I'm not saying this is how Supernova actually works. I'm saying this is how I think it works, and I'm implicitly asking how so many other people are getting real value out of it.
I guess if youβre going a high card strat you can get a lot of them like building up the multi for the bus
I never take it so idk
they probably get daily white whale
I was just randomly scrolling and found this claim
Ig Supernova and Bus are two ends of a spectrum, you want bus early and supernova late?
yup I think
yea you can build bus us really early but you canβt really with supernova
nova applies retroactively I think
It's a powerful effect, but it's so difficult to proc
And you need either AKQJ10 or 5432A
I can proc superpos every round
at least once
I can consistently get an ace low straight every round
Its worse than 8 ball and the one that instantly gives you one on the blind no doubt but its not as bad as the ones in D tier, its still usable no?
Same
I put it in D tier because I very rarely go for straights
I rarely go straights too
but I tried it once
was a good experience
so med B
I usually do horrible, horrible things to my deck to get 5oaks and full houses
(also I am gay)
for example?
I just take hanged man and the world at every single possible opportunity
(I make this joke to myself almost every time I play Balatro lol)
even when it will obviously not benefit me
like me doing a 5oak deck
and converting things to spades
I love love love Oijua. It's practically an instant win as far as I'm concerned
I donβt like the inconsistency tbh
I donβt like 5oaks other than 5 Aces
I feel theyβre a bit underwhelming
But getting 5 or 6 copies of one card is enough to get me focusing on my build
Big disagree. Supporting 5oaks with Fibonacci, Even Steven or Odd Todd gives insane results regardless of which rank Oijua gives me
What does oijua do again?
5 toddsβ¦ I donβt think itβs that good
thereβs a good chance the resulting is odd or will not proc fib
-1 handsz, turn all into same rank
So I like to get as much mileage as I can out of my first Spectral pack, then use Strength, Death, Hanged Man and DNA to grow further in the direction the Spectral put me in
I just generally dislike spectral packs due to the inconsistency
I usually get terrible RNG in spectrals
I usually have like half my deck spades alr
then get spectral hearts
I think Spectral packs are best early game, when you can respond to what they give you and build off of them
I only get them mostly late game though sad
Once I was playing abondoned deck, got really lucky with bus and oijua turned everything into Jacks
whoops
agreed
agreed
wraith is also much more takeable early on
not so much of an impact, plus rare jkrs let you cost through the early antes
provided you donβt get bp and nothing to copy
I spent $56 on wraith once to get blueprint it was worth
and canβt get money to afford anything
I deliberately spend almost all my money before getting a Spectral just in case it has a Wraith lol
like spending them on packs or the ripoff button right
Learnt to do that
Honestly sounds like a good time lol
the ripoff button is the one that geta more and more expensive
and makes you feel less and less lucky
a.k.a. reroll
Finally someone said it!
I have so many rounds where I roll into the 4th ante with $50 and a build that just needs one more joker to pop off, but a couple dozen rerolls later I get past the Plant, all I could find were a couple planets and an Hierophant, and I go up in flames in Verdant Leaf
Itβs such a ripoff that you probably canβt even see every joker once with $999
An interesting voucherβ¦
because 10 rerolls is just
I had never thought about it like that before
You really do have to buy 7/10 rerolls before it saves you any money at all, huh?
That's terrible
all vouchers are really expensive tbh
crystal ball might be a bit justified if emperor and prietess gave you up to 3 tarots/planets, idk
I just spend all my rerolls to find a dud joker
Right before the final fight
i look for an easy sell so I donβt have to debate which one to lose
grabber gives some extra money to reduce its effective price
overstocked is very nice
agreed
Ok now we need tarot, spectral, and Voucher tier list
I think icely once commented βI can spend money to have the priviledge to spend more money, nice ideaβ
Not planets cause they all can just help constellation,
and depend greatly on the hand youβre comfortable with playing
yea, like I grab earth and Planet X a lot
Used to get earth and jupi a lot
now I usually get jupiter and X
sometimes Earth still
because it does help pre-5oak setup complete
and just generally for house runs
yea, whenever I get a planet pack I hope for what I am going for
do you usually get telescope
I never buy crystal ball tbh
Might be the worst voucher to me, I donβt ever really have a use for it
me too actually
DNA is easily C tier, mayybbbeee B tier
If you're going for wins
If you're going for high score shenanigans sure duplicating your poly glass cards is nice
But for consistent winstreaks I would almost never take DNA
I either never have the money or another hand is my most played
same lol
I play heavy into monohand so its almost always a buy from me if i have the money
I'm not a big fan of DNA as it can cause bloat if you arnt removing enough, making those extra cards seem harder to even get if you wernt removing without it
this tier list thing should be done for planets and tarots too
not because it's necessary
but because i wanna see how many S votes jupiter gets
big boy
My prediction: Jupiter and Ceres are S tier
dna is easy S
its a free death card each blind, costs only one hand, and has synergy with basically any build you're currently running and unlocks new builds
only downside is bloat
neptune β
I love DNA I donβt think I would say itβs S but itβs at least high B more likely A
Also bloat of what you want isnβt realllyyy bloat to me
bloating the deck is still a problem
you're more likely to pull your desired card but if you don't have any hanged mans or spectral burns a 60+ card deck can get dicey to win with
pluto may be B but my heart still instapicks pluto on sight
i love the little guy
uranus insta D tier tho For Sure
Okay we need to get a tier list for the other things
b for blueprint π
π ±οΈNA
Okay how is smeared joker s tier c'mon. B tier at most imo. I personally think smeared is worse that 4fingies and that card is uncommon.
makes straight flushes 50% easier
makes flushes 50% easier
makes flush house 100% easier
4 fingers + smeared joker = awesome
as I see it 1 suit tarot can make flush houses available
agreed
you'd need multiple. remember you're only changing 3 cards in a 50+ cards deck
30+ if you're running abandoned deck
and it has to be THAT suit too
ok, this is definetly biased due to me only using abandon deck but yeah 1 suit tarot can make you have a flush house
while if you had smeared joker it can be either that one or the alternative
smeared joker is just very good in general
the gripe I have is that smeared joker is a rare that takes up a slot which can be completely pointless if you change your deck using tarots
sure if you're aiming for straights, high cards or 5oaks it doesn't matter much
and I guess that shows how I like to play
but for builds that contain flush it's huge
I had a case myself where I had a lot of hearts through tarots and took smeared joker to the end with a flush build
so I got cocky and sold it
drew all the hearts at the end (and died)
were the hands not scoring enough or did you not get the hearts quick enough?
maybe I am too abandon deck blind because I usually get flush houses after like 2 suit tarots
so then my joker slots can go to buffing them
but I can see that I would be harder with the 8 extra cards that don't match the suit
okay one more hot take for me to give, why is ice cream A-tier?
I see it as similar to banana just more consistent, a decent boost that goes away eventually. Nice in the early game but not anything crazy
like odd todd can give the same boost if you build your deck around odds
there's your answer
"if you build your deck around odds"
ice cream can just run with any deck no matter the build
and until it reaches 50 chips it's overall pretty neat
the worst build for ice cream is one that consists of high cards and even then it's not entirely awful
i've had it melt a couple times
I feel like the best builds for ice cream would be ones that have 1 big winning hand as that would minimize melting.
ice cream definitely isn't bad though
Did the thing. Forgot what some of them did, had to look them up.
Was a pretty cool thing.
Who's the mf that voted B on Blueprint
hopefully they were doing it for the lolz tbh
because I dunno why you would not vote S for blueprint
doesnt work on egg
