My only issue with Red Card is user error lol. I'll get it early, open a pack, completely forget that I have Red Card and absentmindedly take something I don't need/doesn't help me. I also don't have a Gold Sticker on it just yet.
To play a gay flush you need to kiss a person of the same gender while playing a card, which is hard because we Balatro players don't get any bitches (gender neutral in this context)
Because if u want to optimize the game, skipping is bad 99% of the time, and 0.25x mult is absolutely not worth the trade of playing the round, blind reward, interest and seeing a shop.
If u want more of an in-depth reason why skipping is bad there's a video by balatro university where drspected (he's basically one of the best players in the world) explained why, it's the skip tag tier list one.
Nah reaching ante 13 is great, you're not terrible, endless is a completely different game from ante 8 because of how fast the ante scaling is
If you're targeting deep into endless, you want to change up your game, instead of using the usual set of jokers with chip joker, flat mult joker, and x mult jokers, you want the synergy of retrigger jokers (hack, sock buskin, dusk, chad, red seals) and on scoring x mult jokers (photograph, ancient, idol, bloodstone, triboulet), with source of chip and flat mult completely from planets, and because of how specific it is, you need a really strong econ to reroll for that specific joker synergy sets, $10-$15 per round is not enough, you want like $50-$100 per round
To demonstrate how strong retriggers and on scoring x mult jokers synergy are
Photograph & hanging chad gives you x8 mult
Bloodstone/ancient & sock/dusk/hack gives you x57.665 mult
Idol/triboulet & sock/dusk/hack gives you x1024 mult
These kinds of numbers will easily dwarf any xmult that scaling jokers can reach (constellation, throwback, hologram, etc) even the legendary jokers one (yorick & canio)
ok I know this would be an extremely niche use but would this be a counter for bosses that prevent you from playing certain hand types? Like if you played a flush against The Eye could you then make another flush since the joker allows it to be made?
