Great run. Type A chatter comment at 26:00 though: Dumping Vampire for invisible Joker would have been the correct call from a score standpoint. The two good outcomes are if it copies Trib, which would be x2^10, or it would copy Sock and Buskin, which would be x2^5. Both would be way higher than Vampire could ever get. The bad outcome is Gold Mask, but I think it's worth the risk if you wanted to go as far as you possibly could.

[@ParkCarolina]

I mean probably dump Midas at that point instead of Vampire since you’d still keep the 9 mult or whatever Vamp was at - without vampire the Midas is pointless anyways unless you’re trying to go bankerpilled

[@alexanderwales7870]

@@ParkCarolina Midas was Eternal

[@zoe7696]

i think honestly, taking vampire was a mistake if ur only worried about endless, and especially eternal midas, cuz they don't scale well in endless. it did guarantee an ante 8 win tho

[@ArtofClown]

the funny thing i did the exactly what you said, i was doing the math on how much better it is to dump vamp joker while in class😅

[@cyan_god]

I kinda want to use the seed and do this. The potential is wild, especially since you can throw glass cards in the mix

[@maestromarat6195]

Vampire gotta be the biggest endless killer out there. Taking it basically gurantees the run won't see E. It's great for getting to ante 8 tho

Good run. Really needed some negatives to show up. If I may offer some critique, I think you value your money a bit too much. You lost with $74 which could have been spent fishing for negatives and hand upgrades. Doubt NL will ever read this but you know, worth a shot.

[@dragonmonitor]

9:10 I appreciate that NL prioritizes making interesting runs over playing the "meta", but seriously considering Shoot the Moon's 65 mult over the 2^10 = 1024 from Triboulet nearly short circuited me. Okay, I'm only adding this because he mentioned receiving feedback at the end and seemed disappointed about not reaching e. Steel cards weren't the answer. He correctly realized that vampire killed glass, but the eternal Midas Mask was what really sealed his fate. +.5x mult per hand is pathetic compared to focusing on triggering his x2 mult queens more. Blueprint, brainstorm, and invisible joker were the picks. He passed by invisible joker in the shop at least twice this run. If it copied sock&buskin or triboulet, he'd have probably reached e easily. Then if he can farm death cards, duplicate his red seal queens, and apply glass to them, he'd be reaching absurdly high e values.

[@smurf-in8zx]

Shoot the moon wouldn't of got multiplied by trib. Scoring goes played cards, hand, jokers, it would of added mult after trib multiplication, BUT him getting rid of smiley face was something, to get type A about it it's (Starting mult +5 x 2^10) + (5 x 2^9) + ( 5 x 2^8) etc till last card scored.

[@Frickenheck]

I lost my shit a little when he deathed the foil rather than the red seal holy shit

[@grxybst]

something about him holding the Planet X for seemingly no reason

[@AGray21]

There are good reasons to do it. The joker that gives you negative copies of a consumable you hold, for example. They're marginal, but the cost for holding it is negligible when you're winning hands by that much. Oh, and the simpler reason he was holding it was because he wanted to be guarantee that he could use a Fool card on it.

[@mayjhor]

​@@AGray21only thing is that without Showman, it means that he will never see planet X again from the shop/packs

[@espygaming5101]

​@mayjhor he was already generating many from blue seal, holding for hopes of further scaling is the right play.

[@joegocal]

@@espygaming5101holding hurt him because without showman it won’t show up in celestial packs.

[@espygaming5101]

@joegocal I understand, however he was close to generating 1 a round anyway, of course in hindsight it hurt, however it would have benefited more for endless and he made it fine without using it so long term I still believe it was the right play.

[@cfRafalski]

Y'all commenting on him skipping magician after saying he buys it all the times are forgetting one very important point: Money is on sale.

[@musoumiko4730]

The type A chatter in me having a seizure when he takes vampire and skips dusk

[@voided_sun]

Vampire for ruining endless run, then buys golden face endless taking up potential blueprint spot, then puts golden face left of vampire instead of right. Then skips dusk and doesn't go hearts.

[@Paranundrox]

I agree on not taking Vamp and Mask in the first place, but why would you want Mask right of Vamp? I understand the order the affects apply, and it does put gold cards into your deck, but that means there's a significant lag on when you start getting Vamp triggers. Much better to take the +1× mult per hand than add some gold cards to your deck. You don't need to buy anything so your econ is already sorted regardless

[@powerlifting1012]

​@@Paranundroxif he already has an enhanced card it gets overwritten by the mask. So I guess that is why you would want it to the right of vampire. That being said it doesn't really matter. The only big decisions are more retriggers.

[@JarvidO]

had the opportunity to death the red seal queen but copies the foil queen instead, amazing

[@thespleenenator]

Actually got jump scared by him skipping hanging Chad when he got triboulet to hold onto Smiley Face.

[@mhpurplerooster]

When he ditched buffed Hanging Chad only to get Triboulet on the very next shop, that was my type A chatter moment. +4 mult instead of x8 mult on his first card... damn

[@mhpurplerooster]

Just imagine if he had Hanging Chad instead of Shoot the Moon..

[@vapormermaid]

I'm gonna be sick. 10m chips on ante 4, 15m on ante 5, 20m... these hands are scoring too many chips bro. Im gonna puke this is too much score. we were not meant to witness numbers like below ante 12. this is DISGUSTING what nl is doing. im scared

[@endytu1788]

Not saying it was a bad play or anything, but how much would have taking invisible joker over Vampire changed the score? Because if it dupes sock and buskin or the legendary joker you're going to the moooooon

[@TheRealFishyB]

Type A mf's really be like: "Ah you lost, here is a laundry list why you lost" "Ah you won, here is a laundry list why you didn't win better"

[@NalonB]

I wish I was as good at random commentary as Northernlion. My Balatro vids are underwhelming. 😢

[@Fummy007]

Insane build. but if he had copied the red seal queen when he had the chance instead of the foil queen he would have got to e territory.

[@manuerre.5613]

He really just chose the worst time to buy vampire. Its funny, he usually doesn't buy it because "it doesn't scale well on endless", even though most of the time is the correct play. And now that he finally had a chance to actually be correct, he ended up buying it

[@TheBroodingRogue]

Vampire + Midas mask scales slowly and not nearly as fast as more retriggers or steel cards + mime. Double invisible joker passed by which would have been more copies of buskin or tribolet.
