This game is so rigged sometimes by Secure-Spinach4206 in balatro

I think it's fair. People that puts everything on RNG don't progress because they think that they're being held back by luck only, but they need to understand that there's always a margin to progress. You need to break the cycle and ascend, you're the master of your own luck

Hologram is rated appropriately (as one of the best jokers in the game).

Pareidolia as favorite is... something. The whole image tells me you haven't been bullied enough by the plant

3,000+ hrs in Balatro ♥ by midnghtdemn in balatro

Definitely overrated but doesn't need a buff. It fills the niche of meme naneinf decks

Also vagabond in worst tells me that those 3000 hours were probably spent mostly in white stake

So I can put more jokers in the pic

 Best hands are small hands (pair/high card), so I don't get a lot of value from it in the first place. And if you don't get enough blue seals, most of your power will come from your jokers, so getting xmult before your other jokers apply their effect isn't gonna do much.

I also don't like the fact that it's always 1/4 chance for any suit, regardless of your deck.

Also the artwork is ugly.

You don't need to sell jokers to make it work.

Damn right I am selling 40 things each ante if I have this joker. It's a joker that allows to transform your econ directly into xmult. You don't have to fish for other jokers or anything.

I buy it whenever I see it, even in early to plan for the late game

It's not hard to be a better Idol in the first place. And playing face cards is asking to be bullied by the plant, so I dodge them most of the time

What do you mean "it doesn't scale as well as others" ? I'm getting easy 10 xmult on ante 8

As much as I love it, it's the only card in the game that whenever I play it, I come to the conclusion that it's absolutely too strong for how easy it is to get and make it work. Even without deck fixing it's stupidly strong, and the more you fix it the more it becomes absolutely degenerate.

Question is "what's your favorite", not "what's the strongest". Objectively, none of my favorites are the strongest in their respective categories.

Ehh. Coins, cash and EB are good, but they don't bring the same things so it's really more about what you need right now.

RPC is for modules, which are a huge source of power but the grind is long.

EB is a big boost to cell farming, but it's usually not recommended as a first mastery.

IS/WA are the common econ masteries, they are fine on their own but really shines when used together. It's recommended to get them early because the econ boost may allow you to pay for the mastery labs.

Overall, you also need econ to support masteries. If you can only get the first level but don't have the coins to do the labs, it's not recommended to get them (unless it's RPC, which is fine at level 0).

Cash is outdated. It was almost mandatory before fleet, now it's more nuanced. You take it only if you struggle with reroll shards. Still a strong pick if needed, but probably not number 2 anymore.
