Tossing three hands before acknowledging that the boss blind debuffed his Shoot the Moon queens was nerve-wracking.

[@ArtificialXD]

I was flabbergasted he survived that boss blind after that. That whole run was peak rollercoaster entertainment

[@Benisuber1]

Bro is using up his discards like there's a rule you can't play a hand until you reach 0

[@RockEsper]

He's trying to stack as many queens as possible in one hand

[@dragonmonitor]

@@RockEsperand then playing the queens, defeating the whole purpose of drawing them

[@RockEsper]

​@@dragonmonitor There's nothing wrong with a shoot the moon build that plays its queens

[@Radiorobot1]

⁠@@RockEsperI think the issue was more so that he was just tossing usable hands while fishing for queens even though he wanted pairs. And also not checking the deck to fish for a pair on the last discard or two of a blind and then being forced to just high card or lose multiple by playing queens Edit: though to be fair two queens are 20 chips when he didn’t really have many from jokers but I think the mult+money was usually better

@@zaftnotameni he gets so attached to summit and throwing discards away, as well as keeping vagabond forever lol

[@ScholarZero]

I think he just has a blind spot for certain jokers, and playing fast for the entertainment. But yeah my heart skipped a beat when card sharp appeared, and made Hank Hill sort of noise when he passed it.

[@dudekazoo]

I think he pretty obviously didn't even notice card sharp flicker past. It's not a big deal, he's the one who lost.

You can change the order of your queens for shoot the moon so that the steel cards trigger last. Only made a 10k point diff on the final boss tho.

[@jessewest2700]

Scary face would be goated with 'all cards are face cards.' He rolls past it at 33:11 without a thought in the world lol.

[@prestonjacobs8749]

Dude that killed me😂

[@iluxa-4000]

Nah, not really. In the end he was playing queens anyway which are already face cards

[@extralyfe]

NL, you can Red Seal Queens in hand and they trigger when Steel normally will, and will also trigger Shoot the Moon twice. haven't gotten a chance to try Steel Red Seal Queens in hand with Shoot the Moon, but, seems good.

[@nazurix689]

That's it. Im calling my new dog Balatro

[@Bujintei]

Mida, all cards are face cards and vampire would sky rocket soo fast. I hope we can see it one day

[@Zer0Awakening]

Mime joker being swapped for the +8 mult joker for playing a pair tends to be a huge downgrade. Raised fist applies twice when you have Mime, so at worst: raised fist will give +4 mult twice (+8 mult total) off of a 2. So any time your lowest card in hand is better than a 2, you are getting more benefit from mime + raised fist. Plus the benefit of any steel cards or any other effects (baron + kings in hand)

[@Arthur-wd8hc]

[@perfectcuremt]

I'm pretty sure you dont read these, but each ante is preset for jokers. If you can reroll each round a few times, it saves you some money overall while searching for better jokers. The d6 tag saves $25 if you have the money to search the shop for some decent jokers. Side note, if you have the money and consumable slots, it's smart to hold tarot cards or planets that you don't want. Unless you have a showman, they can not appear again in the shop.

[@AtomicSlugg]

[@2Luke100]

This run was pretty hard to watch. Luckily I have the Buddha nature so it's not so bad, but still.

[@ornado4773]

The fact that he skipped on the joker that gets times X multiplier stronger per planet card used not once but twice and then proceeded to use like 25 planet cards and never got a good multiplier card is kinda funny

[@youchuanwang1738]

i enjoyed the run, cracked some laughter out of it. GOOD job

[@johnrozewicki7132]

Yo NL, love the content. Small tip for what happened with the arcanas on that run. You need to put a little more respect on standard packs because they're the only other source of cards with seals than spectral packs (which are rarer). Obviously saving for econ is important, but you should be taking the slight gamble on an early standard pack if you see it.

[@HolyDeviant1]

I see all these type A comments and I understand. I was once like you. But, my friends, heed my words: there is a better way! Do not despair when the egg rolls past top-tier jokers and keeps terrible jokers! Do not weep and tear your hair when he ignores the effect of the boss blinds! These are not regrettable mistakes, but precious moments for us to enjoy together! Celebrate them with me, enjoy them!

[@youchuanwang1738]

instead of stunt joker, maybe try bull joker? more queens in hand, more money = more chips

[@yujiyujix]

hi tomo

[@003SOK]

what's his reasoning behind always skipping the first two blinds?

[@mononaut]

If I had to guess... I think it's because he doesn't have the money to buy stuff from the shops anyways. But I would agree that it's often a poor choice since he doesn't even look and takes stuff like +1 voucher that he then also can't afford.

[@myspicyclips6402]

double or nothing. put it all on the line to get something good early instead of limp through the game and lose after 6 antes

[@darinmany5397]

Has he worked out yet how multiplication works?

[@jgroot4494]

Here we go again…

[@SuperRace71688]

Bro, you were a turbo shop roller Andy. Read the jokers you see in the shop. If you would’ve bought card sharp in that last shop you would’ve gotten x3 mult on every three of a kind after the first played and would’ve won. Cmon get your head in the game 😂

[@espress0_1]

He probably wouldve won if he put the steel cards at the end lmao

[@Qyubij]

no

[@TheRCTAddict]

my first type a comment, weeeee skipping the polychrome glass ace was a big misplay, that single card was likely the gateway to endless later on with Death etc. ways to copy it. enhance+edition combos like those are so hard to get. edit: card sharp would have easily won the run with score to spare, the +15mult at 0 discards was inconsequential compared to getting ANY xMult with how much queens were giving him

[@rylanlunnon9640]

Man passed up Green and Square Joker for Icecream. Now I love icecream as much as the next guy, but those other 2 are some of the best to grab early in the game. Edit: That was the least of his sins...

[@mononaut]

It's a good card if you're playing high card or pair. NL seems to like going for 4 or 5 card hands mostly, in which case it's a nothing card.

[@sunshinyblsm8951]

Splash allows almost every joker with a hard to meet condition, to be met, and not have to worry about losing. Omega good in early game, Pretty good till ante 8-9 before the pivot. It's not a win card, it's a setup/support card.@@ethandavis7310

[@undvined]

Pareidolia would have gone insane with scary face.

[@Duelism]

You're playing too fast, I think. You're probably losing 20% more often than you should be at your skill level simply from playing too fast. I guess you may also have SOME bias against jokers that can be better than you think - but it's mostly just straight up missing jokers/buffoon packs with high potential to improve your run because you went too quick.
