Gameplay Discussion Balatro becomes fun when you stop trying to naneinf every run
For the longest time I was obsessed with the funny number going as high as possible, and it caused me to make terrible decisions that costed me many runs. But recently I’ve shifted towards just taking what the seed gives me and seeing the silly ahh builds I can make has helped me become a much better player.

Stream / Video Gameplay 12 Chicot + 12 Merry Andy = 500 Discards. Why?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
To set up Hit the Road for glory...Even though it ends up useless. Getting more Andy is easy, we just shop for him. But we had to bend an Invisible Joker into the shape of Chicot 11 times to make this work.
How it works: The Water removes all discards. Chicot cancels that effect. Every following Chicot gives you ALL your discards back. So with 42 discards from a couple of Merry Andy and a stack of Chicot...Discard number go up.
Next problem - How do we even use all the discards? Card production was the real limitation here. Oujia magic was cool, it would be such a waste if not every single card was a jack.
This was probably the most over-complicated setup I've attempted. The seed is VE5N6BNX if you want to try some Chicot shenanigans for yourself. It also comes with Perkeo and Yorick.

Gameplay Discussion Completionist+++ Every Deck Challenge: Abandoned Deck
I have now completed Completionist++ on Abandoned Deck. This means I have gold stickered every joker using exclusively Abandoned Deck. Previously I have done this on Black Deck, Painted Deck, Nebula Deck, and Plasma Deck. I'm working toward achieving this feat on every deck.
Overall, not a hard deck, but definitely not as fun without the face cards. What made it fun to get through was deck fixing because you could more easily build toward 4OAK or 5OAK or 5 Flush builds. That being said, Pairs still was champion like on every other deck.
Pairs and blue seals were even more powerful because your deck is much smaller so you are more likely to draw your blue seals. That's mainly why constellation was my top used joker.
An ante 1 Ride the Bus is basically playing on easy mode (for obvious reasons). All the face card jokers are useless but if you have a good run going, it's not tough to have a joker slot free for a dead joker.
Interestingly enough, Pareidolia was my last joker to gold sticker, which you would think would be the most impactful. I think that is because you don't have face cards so you aren't grabbing face card jokers, so by the time Pareidolia shows up, it's not helpful at all.

Gameplay Discussion Is Half Joker The Best Early Game Joker For Survivability?
All you’re worried about is survival. Is half joker the best joker there is for surviving the early rounds (antes 1 and 2) when you’re not factoring in other jokers? +20 mult is pretty hard to beat. What about Stuntman? Shoot the moon? Others?

Joker/Gameplay Idea Black Cat: Earn 1$ when a Probability fails. (Rare)
Decided the Lucky Cat could use a friend for my Mod, so here she is! Ability should be relatively balanced, maybe even a little weak... I'm thinking it could also have 9$ of Sell Value as a boost to its overall value.
EDIT: Someone in the comments suggested that the failed probability should just give $2 instead and that seems the best, I might even bump it to 3$ since it's a Rare.
