My favourite ghost deck run was when I picked up a ankh so I could double my foil joker in the next shop, and then lost to big blind ante 1 😏

[@PreviouslyEldritch]

lmao

[@niiinaa]

Hi, I'm just gonna point out the ridiculous size of "e" numbers, using an example at 1:30:52 . So what Roffle said was "I don't need that many more points". Let's examine that: Roffle had 9.550e23 points. He needed 8.400e25 points. To many people this understandably looks like the numbers are of a similar size. So lets write them out. 955,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 is the amount of points he had. 84,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 is the amount of points he needed. As you can see now that it's written out, the second number has two more zeros in it. So the number of points he needed is roughly 100 times bigger than the number of points he had. In other words, when Roffle said "I don't need that many more points", Roffle had about 1% (one percent) of the points he actually needed. And I just can't believe he'd lie to us like that. And of course this is not actual criticism of anything Roffle did. He played this much better than I could have based on deck management alone. And in case you are reading this: That was one of the most entertaining 90 minutes I've spent watching a youtube video in a while and I wish I was there to see it live. It was a real treat :)

[@rodolfoinnocentirisaliti]

Exponentials are so unintuitive lol, crazy how bad humans are at understanding big numbers

[@NStripleseven]

That said though, the strategy with this build is exponential, and a 100x increase is only 7 more doublings, or one other good joker.

[@casperskye]

​@@rodolfoinnocentirisaliti To be fair, we never really need to know numbers of that caliber unless you're in a field that requires it which isn't many lol.

[@niiinaa]

@@NStripleseven of course. All builds of this calibre rely on exponentials. And Roffle did exceptionally well building the deck. The number of Red seal glass polychrome queens he aquired without DNA is incredible. And I think he used 5 of them in a couple hands, so what that hand scored is the limit of what is possible with this build. The only way to get more score would be to gdt a negative selzer or something

[@theworld6710]

Wow, thanks! That really puts the numbers in perspective. At a certain rate is just seems almost nonsensical with the values that can be reached.

[@BloodShot9001]

Had this in an unseeded run, was super fun getting it. I worked really hard to try and make the whole deck polychrome steel kings + retrigger face cards joker + blueprints, and ended up getting I think to Ante 17 or so before I ran out of steam. Unfortunately didn't get higher hand size, so less steel card procs.

[@unluckyrat3961]

It feels like every seeded run is just "ghost deck copy crazy joker" It's not bad and it's certainly fun i just wish people were finding crazy seeds with different decks. EDIT: In hindsight it's clear the Ghost Deck has the most consistent potential for fun and crazy runs, unlike just starting with like 10 extra dollars. But still.

[@jerrythesometimesmerry5099]

Definetly one of the most entertaining episodes on this channel so far!

[@kwkylewilliams462]

Just did this seed and it was so much fun! Didn’t get the copy of sock and Buskin but I did get a tiki idol which once you remove everything else except copies of the card you play, is essentially another legendary. I only made it a ante past Roffle but I ended up getting the extra joker voucher but dying immediately after so if you can find a blueprint, you can make it a lot farther I bet.

[@macrobioscopic]

Im happy to see the comments actually critisize this run, that just means that they all watch this run all the way from the start to the end truly "legendary" run

[@saltedsword8852]

Taking the Photograph at 33:00 was a strange move? It only adds x2 to the score while the hanging chad redraws the jokers for x8 Effectively the photograph is a x16 considering all jokers and the hanging chad was an x64

[@timbawden2577]

Yeah I think he was thinking about how Photograph was better than Smiley Face, but sort of confused that with hanging chad

[@aapohaikala8164]

Almost, seltzer doesn't add value to ballot but photograph gets value so it's 4x for the seltzer rounds, but I get your point

[@aapohaikala8164]

Also consider this. Brainstorm copying sock and buskin with triboulet is x2³⁰ and copying triboulet is also x2³⁰ but if you are copying the sock and buskin with the hanging chad it's x2³² but copying triboulet x2³³. Now copying sock and buskin with photograph is also x2³³ so are they the same? I don't think so, because we also have to consider polychrome. With polychrome the copying the sock and buskin becomes the obvious choice. And the hanging chad is slightly worse with copying sock and buskin. Here's the calculation. Photograph with copying sock and buskin with the first card being a polychrome x2³³*1.5³ and hanging chad would be x2³²*1.5⁴. And the photograph seems to be better. If we copy triboulet the hanging chad would be x2³³*1.5³. Still the same though. Now if we add one more polychrome to the calculation I think it becomes pretty obvious. So with photograph and 2 polychromes x2³³*1.5⁶ With the hanging chad it's either x2³²*1.5⁷ or x2³³*1.5⁵ which are both worse. So I think photograph is actually better in late game.

[@saltedsword8852]

[@CovetedPeacock]

The fact this run enters endless only a third of the way into the video’s runtime either bodes insanely well for how hard this build popped off, or there’s a second run in this video. Either way, 90 minutes of Roffle is a good way to spend an evening.

[@atomicNoodle]

After all those Wheels and it happened. I applaud you for staying as unfazed as you did.

[@JesseAnderson]

Watching that jump when Seltzer came into play was something special

[@EHerobrineE]

With all these Roffle videos, I get to start every day with at least one legendary joker

[@amycatass]

The smiley face is SO much better than photograph since photograph only triggers for the first one played, and smiley adds 5 before the next multiplication every single time. Once you get sock and buskin, it makes things wild

[@Oxxyjoe]

yes, I think you can get negative jokers in packs, because they show up in the shop sometimes as well. I feel like their occurrence rate is like half that of polychrome. Also, moving one of the legendary jokers to the far left would have been a bit higher math.(when they have the red seal) It's the difference of each queen getting triggered four times, times-16'ing the mult each time, versus each queen getting triggered five times, times-8'ing the mult each time. Except... I didn't account for the glass also... so actually it's exactly the same each way Lol.

[@alexanderhill3181]

Let's boost these Roffle Balatro videos! Well done!

A negative DNA and negative baron… imagine what could have been.

[@chrisseddon5823]

I've took the seed and going to mess with it. I think (maybe) this is an e50 seed. Its definitely an e40 seed. Ecto on trading card killed his forward movement, as did staying on queens. Going kings opens idol possibilities later of you can find it and focusing on flush 5s can boost his money for rerolling shop.

[@chrisseddon5823]

Played a couple runs and got 4.250e48. I'm not sure how much more you can get out of it. Ended the run with 3 sock (1neg), the 2 tribs, brainstorm, blueprint, smiley (1neg) and a Chad. Went lucky red seal K♤ into glass late on. There is an idol early on but it's hard to hold while you build the deck. Popping and idol late could get the e50. Fun run though.

[@Lord_Phoenix95]

Seeing him passing up DNA multiple times was rough to see especially when he as Brainstorm to basically always get +1 Poly Red Queen.

[@flomegames7662]

[@TheRoomy]

Not hitting an 840k blind while scoring e17 hands is a bit like Jeff Bezos going broke after eating at McDonalds. There's about a million grains of salt in a cup, and about 1.3e15 atoms in the moon. You're slamming down killer hands two orders of magnitude higher than the number of atoms in the moon to get grains of salt in a cup. I think you're gonna nail that blind. This seed is no joke, I gotta try it out.

[@LTDextel]

Never enough Balatro from Roffle!

[@justarandomgamer7667]

53:07 polychrome is just flat better at the end, because it gives a lot more Xmult to a much larger number.

[@iNevaSint]

[@MrGhosta5]

I had a run where i got stencil joker early and then duplicated him. What's weird is that if you have more then one stencil joker they don't count as taking a joker slot so they each give x5 instead of x4. I then found a brainstorm which resulted in 3 stencil jokers each giving x4. I added card sharp which dropped the stencil jokers to x3 but resulted in x27 for the first hand but x81 for the second hand.

@@cheekibreeki6255 Royal Flush is just short for Royal Straight Flush, which is the real name of the hand. It's just a naming convention. In normal poker, the only reason the Royal Straight flush is worth more than a normal Straight Flush is because the cards are higher. They're essentially the same hand.

[@dstreetz91]

@@Pink_MaggitYeah and royal flush is 5 specific cards so it's harder to hit than a normal straight flush, which has many more possible combinations to achieve in comparison since you can have A-5, 2-7, 8-Q, etc. etc. so in poker the harder it is to assemble the hand the more it's worth. Royal flush is just the fancy term and less syllables than royal straight flush.

[@LangyMD]

I wonder if the Wheel of Fortune is picking one of the cards you've got, then rolling, and if the card is already Polychrome it goes "NOPE"? That would make the chance more like 3/20, which is closer to what we've seen in this run.

Nah, Wheel just ignores cards that it can't hit. You can't take it if all Jokers have a modifier.

[@PEOJII]

i think copying triboulet is better but i havent double checked my math edit: double checked my math i was wrong edit: triple checked i was right, assuming polyglass red seal, each card is either 12^5 with the extra retrigger or 24^4 with the extra triboulet. difference of about 10x on 5 cards

[@wakfi_]

Not sure I follow the numbers you're giving but I agree with your result. Here's my numbers. The only thing that matters in this question is "how many xMULT triggers per card?" as all other values are either unaffected or negligible. Assuming 5 poly glass red seal queens for all calculations. Having fewer of those makes tribulet even better. The affect of which card is copied can be represented by "mult = 2^(5 * E * T) * 1.5^(5 * T)", where E is the number of X2 effects per trigger and T is number of triggers. Case 1: Copy sock & buskin 5 triggers per card (base, 3 sock, red seal). Per trigger: 2 tribulet, 1 glass, 1 poly, giving three X2 mult effects per card trigger. Plug it into the equation (E=3 and T=5) we get "2^(5 * 3 * 5) * 1.5^(5 * 5)" ≈ 9.5e26 Case 2: Copy tribulet 4 triggers per card (base, 2 sock, red seal). Per trigger: 3 trib, 1 glass, 1 poly, giving four X2 mult effects per card trigger. Plug it into the equation (E=4 and T=4) we get "2^(5 * 4 * 4) * 1.5^(5 * 4) ≈ 4.0e27" Roughly 5x more points copying tribolet. Would've been better to copy it at all or almost all stages of the game. The extra chips from the extra trigger acts like a ~1.05x mult (I'm probably overestimating it) and thus fails to influence the outcome. For reference, the easy way to calculate this in real time is just balance the number of triggers and effects. 3 and 5 isn't balanced, 4 and 4 is. You probably learned in geometry that the rectangle is biggest when the sides make a square, it's the same thing here, 4*4 is bigger than 3*5, so all you need to do during runs is keep the numbers balanced. If you can't perfectly balance them then lean towards triggers if you have any poly, lean towards effects otherwise. TL;DR: I agree copying tribolet was better, here's my work shown & a rule of thumb to follow

[@PEOJII]

@@wakfi_ when i say 12^5 per card, thats (2*2*2*1.5)^5, or 2 triboulet, 1 glass, 1 poly per trigger, and 5 triggers. I do know about balancing triggers and effects, I just got lost in the weeds a bit

[@adriensoubelet9664]

[@ysqure3]

Well, as you can see from the video, Roffle needed to be getting that huge mult from playing glass cards. If he hadn't had a bunch of red seal polychrome glass cards that he was playing, he would've just been dead in the water. It might be slightly better to have one red seal polychrome mult card and then four red seal polychrome glass cards in the ideal hand, and I think Baron + Mime + Red Seal Steel Kings can also be good if you can get enough hand size, but for the jokers Roffle had available to him glass cards were crucial.

Photograph was better at 19:10 because the value stacka up much faster than smiley face.

[@alexanderzhou5561]

the plus fours get multiplied by the triboulets tho

[@alexanderzhou5561]

so i think its still better

[@aapohaikala8164]

Let's say he plays a full house with only mult cards 3 kings and 2 queens. Each queen and king gives x8 mult because its x2³, except the first one which triggers twice . Smiley face in this scenario would be: (((((14×8+8)×8+8)×8+8)×8+8)×8+8)×8 = 3,969,600 And photograph would be: (((((10×16+4)×16+4)×8+4)×8+4)×8+4)×8 = 10,766,624
