I've just beaten green stake all decks and I gotta tell you He's cooked

[@theB04T]

I'm beginning to think that the best rants correlate with the worst Balatro. These are A+ rants and (all due respect) some of the loosest NL Balatro play I've seen.

Ahhhh NL + Plasma deck.I wonder what sort of wonderfull adventures await us this time. Surely he won't be playing it like a normal deck again.

[@BasedMothman]

I thought it was impossible to lose plasma when you have stuntman, but egg proved me wrong

[@Lentiii]

@@BasedMothmanit’s not. Chips fall off in plasma

[@dasyakky100]

@@Lentiii I beat plasma deck on every stake without ever focusing on mult. Chips only. Stuntman, blue joker, square joker, banner are all great. Add a splash with some enhanced cards (stones and bonus), maybe toss in an odd todd, it's a free win

[@Lentiii]

@@dasyakky100 that’s nice brother but your score would be way higher with some mult and x mult. You don’t always have access to chips scalers that go high enough to carry you through to ante 8. Sometimes you need that extra help. You can’t just create those chips scalers from thin air.

[@mimonikeda5768]

We're Balatro guys, of course we take Hologram and then skip Standard Packs.

[@jameszaimes7407]

Yeah because NL logic says +3 mult is better than .25x mult. I get it if he doesn't want to clog his deck but he skipped on 2 that had queens! Didn't think I would get triggered this much watching someone play lol

[@musoumiko4730]

Square Joker is functionally +4 mult per high card played with this deck (since it counts if you have four cards right?) so he skips that, picks red card, and starts skipping packs that could've boosted his holographic, which he then sells over the joker that offers no mult or chips. Also he sold another chip joker for the red card one or something I don't remember at this point. Anyways my point is this is actually peak content and I hope NL never changes, the sheer chaos he causes is delightful.

[@astarothgr]

red card - hologram, ah, truly, a combo for the ages!

[@danser_theplayer01]

With plasma deck you need level ups and chip jokers because chips are easier to gain a lot and they will be equalised to mult anyway.

[@HatsuneSquidward]

You can scrape by ante 8 that way but eventually you need mult multing. Then when that's equalized it gets insane
