Start with a random Legendary joker.

Unlock Condition: Obtain every Legendary Joker atleast once.

There are (i think) 5 Legendary Jokers in the playtest of Balatro.

buy?

#

you don't buy legendary jokers

lime sparrow
#

oh so is Soul the only way to get Legendary Jokers?

#

i think thats stupid.

#

ah

#

what about Caino?

glossy knot
#

"If you start with legendary joker, you pretty much have all it takes to win" is the concept, I believe

#

so I don't necessarily think it's balanced to already start with a legendary joker

lime sparrow
#

what if you get the one that disables every boss blind effect?

glossy knot
#

what about it

lime sparrow
#

that is terrible to start with

#

it only gets good at like, ante 5

#

and even then if your in the demo that's literally the fucking end of the game

glossy knot
#

It's pretty good though? Not sure what do you mean

#

in full game you will have more boss blinds and they're random, not fixed

lime sparrow
#

yeah, i know

#

but your not gonna get "the wall" on ante 1

glossy knot
#

so you don't have to worry about any specific counter, you just make build that reaches the score needed

lime sparrow
#

or 2-4

glossy knot
#

you can't beat ante 1?

lime sparrow
#

i can

#

because if you lose on ante one you just didn't get the hand you wanted

#

on the boss blind

glossy knot
#

if 1 out of 5 jokers is useless on ante 1, does not mean it's balanced to add this deck

lime sparrow
#

The Soul gives a random Legendary.

#

RANDOM.

#

So you'd need atleast ~8 Souls to unlock this deck.

#

I feel that this is balanced.

glossy knot
#

So what you can just restart run until spectral skip, then see if there's soul and use it, then restart the run

In my eyes, balanced does not mean "after 5 hours of boring activity you will get this broken ass deck that makes you insta win"

lime sparrow
#

Lets say.. that it doesn't count if the run isn't completed.
And it's a tarot card, not a spectral.

glossy knot
#

it's a spectral

#

in full game

lime sparrow
#

You never saw the Playtest? We also don't have the full game.

#

In the playtest, its a tarot.

glossy knot
#

it was confirmed multiple times that it will be spectral

lime sparrow
#

I'm talking about the playtest. You expect me to look at the tarot card part of the wiki?

glossy knot

#

You've seen the wiki. It's relevant.

#

And alot of people talk about the Wiki/Playtest in suggestions.

winged oak
#

yes but the playtest is over

#

nothing in it is finalized

urban osprey
#

this deck has the same flaw as 3 other decks which were removed: foil deck, holographic deck, and polychrome deck

it's boring

starting with a legendary joker makes legendary jokers feel less rare, which is not good
plus there is a silimar deck: silver deck, where you start with a random joker

lime sparrow
#

this is much rarer though

#

so it feels more as a reward

scenic flame
#

ngl i feel like getting all legendaries should be an achivement at best

urban osprey
#

yeah

#

no deck

#

mainly cuz i wont enjoy playing it

#

free legendary sounds nice, but what's the point of the joker being legendary if it's given to you...

#

it's meant to be rare

lime sparrow
#

well, Soul gives a free legendary

#

and its one of the only ways to get it

urban osprey
#

you're comparing apples to oranges

#

im fine with legendaries only coming from the soul

#

a deck that gives legendary jokers ruins the rarity of the legendary jokers outright

#

it's like how in the past there were foil, holographic, and polychrome decks

#

those ruined the rarity of card editions, especially the polychrome edition

#

a deck should give an advantage to a player for a drawback, or add some extra benefit for a drawback

lime sparrow
#

well you're not Localthunk

urban osprey
#

you aren't either tho...

lime sparrow
#

you think i don't know that?

urban osprey
#

you think i don't know that too?

#

anyways that aside

urban osprey
#

it balances chips and mult out but has a x4 base blind size

#

this gives a benefit that is quite unique

#

and is pretty strong

#

while there are decks like red deck blue deck yellow deck
those basic decks do need to exist (they give small benefits with basically no drawback)

lime sparrow
#

meme idea: x2 all cash sources, x2 all prices

#

nuh uh
you get to spend an extra 20 dollars
thats like gaining 20 dollars

#

so i count it

burnt pecan
urban osprey
# lime sparrow so i count it

"so i count it" doesn't justify your answer

credit card doesn't grant you any money, it only allows you to spend more
as your proposed money deck doubles cash income and doubles prices of shop items, credit card will still be left unchanged

lime sparrow
#

so this proves my answer

urban osprey
#

it allows you to spend more but doesn’t grant you any money

hot otter
#

local said he was removing rng based decks anyway

urban osprey
#

besides erratic but yea ur right rng decks are being removed

hot otter
#

wait erratics not being removed

#

huh

#

ok

#

I would like to see this deck with a really big downside (maybe -2 hands/all cards are faced down)

urban osprey
#

i dont like the idea of getting a free legendary joker, even with drawbacks, cuz that removes the satisfaction of finding one in your runs

#

evident in the now removed edition decks, which made editions less rare and provided no new strategy

analog raptor

It would just be the new black deck(the one that gives +1 joker slot for -1 hand and discard), and almost everyone dislike the black deck. Unlike silver deck that can have a random joker from 120 jokers, this deck only has 5 possible jokers, which will easily bored the player once they try all the legendaries.
