    I've heard your take on vamp and I think even in the best-case scenario with like Midas touch creating enhanced cards, the amount of value removed by vampire stifles your infinite potential more than it's worth. I think there should be a button to toggle off the eating function so you can build the mult early in the run, but then you can enhance cards and actually use them towards the end game. That's the only way it becomes a viable e card

    27:16 yeah you can think of it as cards I want to play / cards that don’t matter
    So if you have say 12 queens you want to play and 40 random other cards, then you either make it 12/38 with hanged man or make it 14/40 with cryptid. Cryptid gives you better odds in the short term, but thinning your deck so you have a guarantee to draw the cards you want is very good since it lowers the chance of bricking on draws.

  • @alexanderwales7870
    @alexanderwales7870 Před měsícem +4

    For the question of whether it's better to add two kings with Cryptid or remove two non-kings with Hanged Man, it depends on deck composition. If you have only two non-kings in your deck, removing them takes you from ~95% chance to draw kings to ~100% chance to draw kings. But in the case where you have no kings in your deck, adding two kings takes you from 0% king chance to ~5% king chance. (Those numbers depend on how thick your deck is.)

    • @nakodares5982
      @nakodares5982 Před měsícem +2

      Well yes obviously, but I think NL is asking at what point it changes. Of course the trivial case of no kings, you should always add kings, but that’s not even possible with cryptid so not really relevant. It’s otherwise fairly simple to solve - it’s either increasing the numerator by 2 or decreasing the denominator by 2. It ends up that as long as the total number of cards (denominator) is at least 2 greater than the number of kings (or any other card you’re trying to collect), then cryptid (adding 2 more) is better. Since that is almost always the case, adding 2 more is almost always better.

  • @pking6847
    @pking6847 Před měsícem

    Did some quick math regarding adding two kings versus removing two non-king cards and I think its better to remove cards once 50% of your deck is Kings. With 60 cards in your deck, if you have 20 kings then the odds of drawing a king increase by around 2% if you add kings whereas it only increases by 1% if you remove non-kings. If you have 30 kings then removing non-kings increases your odds of drawing a king by 0.1% more than adding two kings does. If you have 40 kings then its the same numbers as when you have 20 kings but removing non-kings increases odds by 2% and adding kings only increases them by 1%. Negligent differences either way but I was procrastinating doing real work so thanks for the distraction.

    Is it just me or the game is now completely ruined by impossible difficulty?
    I used to progress very well.
    I just played a few games and lost after TWO games. WHY. What did they change exactly?
    It seems that pairs only give very very little score now, making the early games nearly impossible.
    And jokers are too expensive. What am I doing wrong?
    My new favorite game has become my most hated one now.👎

      The game has only changed once since release and that was to make the early game easier, even on higher stakes

      @@Slink1701 I literally can't win more than three games. Something is wrong with Balatro right now. (v1.0.1c)

      he is literally throwing for more content. he obviously wants to stall on beating the gold stakes
      also think of all the extra youtube comments he is generating. Egg might be a literal genius... we are playing checkers while he is playing 3D chess
