The second he bought mail in rebate it was like drinking the water of life. The following five minutes appeared to me in a dream so vivid you’d think it was a feature film. The flippant discard, the nullified vagabond, the vague confusion. I saw it all.
I'm inspired by NL's dedication to discarding/playing gold cards at every possible opportunity, ensuring he stays poor at the end of each round, when vagabond is no longer active
Ye man all the Balatro vids are like one second I'm pogging and then in the middle of the vid he just does the most randomly stupid thing and ruins what he has going on, but I guess that a bit of why we watch the egg man
this game is so meta for the channel because type A’s literally can’t resist boosting engagement in the comments for every 3.7% infraction on the deckbuilder optimaxxing itinerary
“you slotted into the worst possible spot” yeah i wonder who moved it one left for no reason like he does when he gets any new joker. egg must be studied
not only that but he then considers tribe a whiff with 18 diamonds, draws close to a flush in the very next blind (multiple times might i add) and then discards it without a second thought
he DIDN'T need the mult brother since it only applies after all the steel cards and kings get triggered. the last hand had like 140 mult before the +10 mult from riff raff got added, so almost meaningless. yeah i'm type Aing a type A comment what are you gonna do about it
@@vetofallen521 yeah, he should just be looking at the mult he has after the hand is scored, but before the jokers (especially X mult jokers). His playstyle is that he thinks he needs flat mult, but if he looked, he'd know that a 1.5X on already 100 is just better. Similarly, to evaluate how good a chip joker is, he should look at his played hands and know that e.g. if your hand is 100 chips, a 100 chip joker is equivalent to a X2 mult joker. This is A^3 for all the A type andies.
Bro why do you have 15,000 cards in your deck what are you doing trying to do, get them to rewrite the card game tournament rules to have a max deck size?
Yeah in normal Poker straights are more common than flushes and definitely more than full house. Due to how this game is set up, it's way easier to make flushes and full houses which makes their multipliers a bit wonky. A flush base or full house gives you like 40x4 whereas a straight gives you 30x4. Given the difficulty of making straights in Balatro I'd say that despite Poker odds, straights should give x5 or x6 base. Probably x6.
@@Jabadamazothat still wouldn't make much difference after the first few antes though as it's really more about jokers and cards in the end, not base chips/mult. The issue is the only real way improve your chances of getting straights is wasting a joker slot on the one that lets you have gaps or hand size, which is also good for every other hand type so it's not actually a reason to use straights. If there was a tarot card that made straights easier like "wild rank" cards and they buffed the jokers relating to straights it would be good.
I implore you to be thinking about Blueprint joker as often as possible. In shops, on the Blinds screen, discarding, playing, always. You can literally double 4 other jokers. Also, have fun. Good luck.
Is anyone else always reminded of the Song "Here Comes The Arm" from the Album "Act II: The Father Of Death" by "The Protomen" when the Boss is the Arm?
5 of a kind base is 18 mult. Without adding the effect of enhanced cards or kings, which trigger first, vagabond will give 18*1.5=27mult. Why don’t replace the vagabond 1,5x with a flat +10 mult 😹.
Hate to be a type A but on the last round he knew he had enough plays/discards to cycle through his whole deck so he should've used them to just craft one undebuffed hand with 3 kings and 5 jacks.

5:25 not to be a type A chatter but with gold joker, rebate, and excess hands even if he didn’t have any double tags it was absolutely not worth skipping the blind
Funny thing is he wouldve beaten ante 10 if he didnt give up mama liz's vagabond for a flat +10 mult card. Lesson learned, never turn your back on mama liz
this is so type a of me but i wish he would maximize the vagabond tarot card output more. He has 5 hands and is trying to win in 1. nothing he's doing is bad so to speak i just think the egg would enjoy printing more cards
been struggling with the anaglyph deck personally. I used to skip blinds all the time (and it's not uncommon for me to skip both ante 1 blinds) but I've discovered that earning the $1-3 off a small blind and checking the shop is usually worth more to me than a random planets pack. Especially the higher the ante gets. So I'm just sitting on a double tag until I see a spectral tag. Skill issue on my part?
well every chance to get a good joker is a golden opportunity, by skipping them u basically force yourself to get a good joker in one shop or u lose :|
Skipping blinds is rarely worth it even with anaglyph deck. Free shops and money related tags might be worth it early on when you have no money. Spectral tag, leveling poker hand tag, arcana tag are all good situationally but I rarely take them. I mostly save double tags for negative tags or voucher tags if I have money to buy them.
Can be worth it on the double money tags if you're running bull or boot. The max being $40 opposed to the Hermit's $20 means it's definitely better than stopping at the shop if you are utilizing one or both of those jokers.

Wouldn't have been that good because the face cards weren't polychrome. It was some chips and flat mult at best. X mult jokers were better
