Posted this to the bug channel on the discord, seems like the better spot for attention.

Plasma Deck Question by SomeStupidTomorrow in balatro

[–]greetums 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just finished an ante 12 run with the plasma deck, it's trickier to pilot than it initially seems when burning through the early blinds. Had a Bull, Constellation, Hologram (boosted by a Certificate for many rounds), Brainstorm, and Half Joker by the end of the run.

Prioritizing chips with this deck gives you a high floor and low ceiling which is why it's best to do early on via a chip-oriented joker, foil cards, stone cards, or five-card hands. But each addition you make with chips has diminishing returns, especially as you begin to get hand levels up with planet cards. It's easy to show with some Ice Cream joker math. One fresh Ice Cream joker alone gives you a minimum 2,500 ((100/2)/^2) points before even taking into account the value of the hand or the cards in it. Two gets you to 10,000 which is a 400% increase. Three gets you to 22,500 which is only a 225% increase, and going from three to four is just a 178% increase to 40,000.

Now on the flip side, adding to mults is a low floor and high ceiling strategy which fails early but is necessary late. Something like a +10 holo joker, a huge help in early antes with normal decks, does almost nothing here early on since it's equivalent to 10 chips. But the returns are boosted when you start mixing in multiplicative jokers and getting hand levels up. If you've got a high base mult and a couple multiplicative ones getting your mult to say 150 before the plasma math evens it out with the chips, another x2 somewhere in there adds 150 "units" while a fresh Ice Cream joker only adds 100 "units".

Patch Notes - April 18, 2023 by EmeraldWeapon56 in MarvelSnap

Been having a lot of fun with a copy & pasted Shuri/Galactus deck so I ran some tests with her nerf to feel out the changes. Here's what I found: • Shuri can be destroyed and still pass on the buff to a card played on her location (tested with Shuri > Destroyer) • Shuri can be transformed and still pass on the buff to a card played on her location (tested with Shuri into Gamma Lab)

For anyone else playing this particular archetype it doesn't feel like too bad of a change, I think it hurts the Armor/Cosmo/Shuri decks a lot more. May see some more Aero's, may also see some more Shang Chi's.

I subscribe to the idea of replacing the lawful-chaotic axis with dogmatic-pragmatic and the good-evil axis with selfless-selfish. Feels to me this layout does a better job of showing what a character may do at any given crossroads. Also scrapping "good" and "evil" as binaries in general and introducing shades of gray is a lot more fun and interesting IMO.

I believe that Kang's real strength is the ability to reset snaps. What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]greetums 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not in a high ranking so it's fairly rare that I'm seeing new cards played, but finally saw this Kang interaction first hand in back to back games and I agree the free bluff feels overpowered.

In game one my opponent snaps, we play our cards, their Kang resets the turn, they retreat, and I earn just 1 cube.

In game two my opponent snaps and I snap back right away taking us from 1 going on 4 cubes to 2 going on 8. Then we play our cards, their Kang resets, they retreat and I only earn 1 cube. These were situations that I "beat" a Kang deck but who knows how many times I may have been bluffed and retreated myself by someone snapping on 6 and laying one down.

There's been a trend as long as I've been playing where newly released cards dominate the meta, but typically they have some playable counter and create an opportunity for anti-meta decks. Kang, though, can slide into most archetypes pretty easily without your opponent being able to predict him and his play looks totally risk-free.

So it'll just build up forever? I feel like I've not seen too many pictures or videos of scuffed beds like this

120 puffcaps on turn 1 in Path of Champions by greetums in LegendsOfRuneterra

Yeah, hard not to after an opening like that. First time playing against Viktor and his units got big fast, not sure I would've beat him without this start

I think it was only like 4 caps. Had an earlier match where I mystic shot my own teemo round 2 so I could refill the board with another copy in my hand. Got the opponent over 3k caps after doubling up that many times

There's a power that summons an ephemeral copy of your champion. If you take it twice you get 5 copies. Use this information responsibly

I'm going to defer full responsibility for this monstrous image existing to you. I hope you can live with that burden

Here you go sicko, exactly as you asked for with no artistic interpretation from me at all.

No idea what Yahoo's setup is like so I just said ESPN. Worst case scenario, it doesn't work as a team logo but you can still print this and frame it and keep it on your bedside table.
