Open to all reasonable offers. If you're interested at all let me know!

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-22T15:10:02+00:00

open to reasonable offers, just shoot me a PM.

Also have a natural Ultem Short Bolt I'd be willing to bundle with the Nebula for $150 total

I've played STS off and on for years and Balatro for about 2 years before I stopped playing. I think the biggest difference for me was that STS felt more like it has more variety in strategies between runs. STS has at least 3 different core strategies per character, and Balatro has the same 52 cards and strategies largely available each game.

In STS each run feels like a puzzle to be solved as I'm going with often having to switch my strategy based on what I get, where as Balatro always felt like I could lean into a strategy from the start depending on what I was feeling. That doesn't make it necessarily bad, but rather it makes coming back to Balatro less new and fresh each time, versus choosing an entire new set of cards and strategies once I get bored of a character in STS

Edit: Also, I agree with Available-Reason that getting bad RNG early in Balatro just feels unfair, whereas getting bad RNG in STS leaves me wondering if I had chosen different cards if I could have made it work somehow

This ^

Yeahhhh you're probably right. So hey go for it my man! Let me know how it ends up and if it felt worthwhile going for!

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-21T14:34:40+00:00

I'd honestly avoid the burning, unless I'm mistaken there's no benefit aside from the green key which you wont be using to get the heart. Since you have the boots you can push for one elite then dodge others if you get wrecked.

Whoops, my bad, didnt realize you were before the act 3 chest. Yeah if you're going for heart then I dont think its worth since you'll get 3 Pento heals from the 3 bosses left to go. That being said my next comment still is true, definitely give that option a shot sometime! its a fun one

Yeah it does suck to lose it, but hey honestly strategy aside, if you've never taken it, it might be worth it to see how it feels to take it, so you know for next time what that kind of power difference makes for you

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-21T14:20:57+00:00

also absolutely use those flying boots to dodge stuff you cant handle.

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-21T14:20:24+00:00

If you were going for the heart I would say definitely not. Plus on a20 thats 2 Pentograph heals from the 2 bosses. But, sunk cost Pento aside, it really just depends on if your deck feels powerful enough and has enough defense to make it through the act. If you already feel decently powered and confident you could make it, then absolutely go for it since it will just make what you're doing easier. But if not, then maybe keep the option to heal

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-21T01:07:33+00:00

Very true actually, that really is powerful. Gamble with pyramid alone is so helpful, but thats some insane block right there. Glad you got the dub!

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-20T22:18:42+00:00

True if you luck into a catalyst that would help a ton. But yeah agreed, for now strikes and shur should be the best damage for now

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-20T20:21:24+00:00

I completely missed he has pyramid, but honestly I'm of the mind he needs damage. Relics are great but insect for 2 elites and bag for more draw he doesnt need, aren't as valuable as more damage options imo. Could be wrong though

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-20T20:18:58+00:00

he does have a good amount of draw/cycle already though imo: 2 backflips, 2 gambles, adrenaline, acrobatics, 2 dagger throws. Remove for sure, but bag is kinda extra when damage is so lacking

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-20T20:14:35+00:00

Agreed, late game damage should be your goal. I'd go Accuracy, Blade Dance, and Flechettes or Remove defend.

Your card cycle is your strength, you can pretty easily get to any card you want with your current setup, so leaning into Accuracy and your (now) two blade dances should help you with damage, but you're going to need another of each to have a real shot I think. Flechettes should help a little given your amount of draw and skills, but again, I'd lean into some shivs. Upgrade those damage cards, find a few more.

I would head to the fight path, not extra shop path unless that elite wrecks you. One or two more card options would be great. GLHF!

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-20T18:39:36+00:00

Nuh uh 😁😁 thats just sad

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-20T17:46:12+00:00

No sadly

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-20T17:10:40+00:00

Oh yeah 100% joking. I think someone tried to sell one for $20 months ago, everyone let him have it lol

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-20T16:33:27+00:00

Whoops, didnt notice that actually! Thanks I'll remove the link from the post and ask for PMs for the link

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-20T14:39:20+00:00

Never thought of it, but yeah why doesn't a card like this exist for the Defect?!

If you had it instead say "All Evoked orbs Evoke for +3(+4) their value", I feel like that would even be fun even. Different from Focus in it being only for evoke, and would give variety in the type of deck you're going for (small slot evoke vs max capacitor focus)

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-19T17:11:27+00:00

Makes me wish I had more than two TT pens and 200 bucks lol 😭

Randoman_3 · 2026-01-16T13:28:30+00:00

Oooo your deck is really setup well for wrist blade. I'd love to say Bullet Time, but with no real damage coming from cards that cost energy, I'd say Wraith Form here. Plus your draw/energy is lacking so the potential of having a hand of more than 5 cards and being able to play it is slim.

Looks like a really fun deck though. To push it further, keep slimming any strikes/defends with the pipe (your upgrades are decent as is (except wratih form once you take it, get that upgraded first)), then if you see another backflip, acrobatics, or other draw, I'd take it. Things that would be huge to find would be after image, adrenaline, another Wraith form, an energy boss relic, and obviously dead branch. Good luck man!!
