he will literally never understand the plasma deck despite at the start of every plasma deck run going on about how chips are the most important
Chips are more important in plasma at the start, but weirdly LESS important at the end, because mult is easier to multiply.
@@richardsmith3021very true. I just beat gold stake with a hanging Chad, photograph, smiley face, and scary face build
I would argue that mult is much more in important. In fact, my advice to other balatro players on plasma deck is to just play it like any other deck, and the balancing effect will carry you through the larger blind requirements.
Like another commenter said. Mult is the only aspect of your score that can grow multiplicatively or exponentially. Chips are only ever a flat additive score, so for endgame it's much easier to get higher scores with mult.
@@sirthursday6159waiting for the update when they add a Legendary X Chips joker
@@josiahmoteberg3210Brother x chips is just mult
"I'm gonna focus on chips", 1 minute later stesses about Misprint mult
Brother, he had two x-mult jokers and no meaningful planet levels.
@@sirthursday6159surely he had the long-term planning to realize that
@@sirthursday6159 Maybe if he had realiable chip Jokers, maybe he wouldn't need to rely on RNG (80 chip 2 pair)
@@sirthursday6159and yet he skipped fortune teller which wouldve given him the needed mult scaling to make his xmult do wonders… that kinda hurt to watch💀
I cried on the inside when he sold the chad instead of misprint
And not holding any plutos was killing me!!! Wild how he won easily but balatro players will cry about what could have been lol
He's very lucky that having Stone Joker, Marble Joker, and Hologram basically just made the deck play itself.
The day NL learns what observatory does and remembers that he has it will be monumental
What does it do?
@@DinGo365 gives x1.5 mult for each planet card held that matches the hand played. He could have held 3 plutos and gotten x1.5 mult for each one
he's popped it off with Perkeo before
@@radarhead82 He can remember perkeo exists because it's visible in the joker area, object permanence is the issue with vouchers
4:53 " there is a big difference between 20 mult and 1 mult" after playing 605 chip hand on plasma deck is a funny statement
11:07 "it's crazy that starting from 1 mult we get there" final chips 1,155 final mult: 26...
we're balatro guys, of course we don't understand that 50 chips is 25 mult in the plasma deck.
but the balancing still happens after xMult is applied so +mult jokers still have a place in this run's double-xmult situation
and he still won
@@TheRCTAddict they only have a place if you are using 0 chip jokers.
@@TheRCTAddict nether flat mult or x mult have a place though. With all 3 he was getting like 70 mult. With one card he got 100s of chips.
@@griffintwalsh you are demonstrably incorrect. i put every variable from NL's run around the 26:32 mark into Balatro Calculator and ran the hypotheticals. with a hand of 5 stone cards, 6.1x mult constellation, 14.5x mult hologram, 1300 chip stone, 9 mult swash, 15 mult mystic, lv26 high card:
19698 x 19698
388 million
mystic summit accounts for about 26mil of the score above the baseline of having neither blue nor mystic
if mystic is replaced with a ~176 chip blue joker (assuming all discards are used to find the gold queens + 5 stones):
19122 x 19122
365 million
blue joker accounts for only 2mil score above the baseline of having neither blue nor mystic
NL was correct in saying that stone joker is providing so many chips that mystic's mult, multiplied by two xMulters (if brainstorm is copying hologram, hologram can't be after mystic) is far more impactful than the chips blue joker gives. 15 * 14.5 * 6.1 = 1,326 mult
with plasma deck you have to look at the raw numbers, not whether something is chips or mult -- the fact is that mult has long-term multiplying options via jokers, and chips don't. there's no xChips options. additive chips will always be outscaled by multiplicative mult in an endless situation, with sufficient base mult present. *sure you can get big initial values on the chips side easier, but this has diminishing returns (as demonstrated by blue joker being much less impactful than mystic summit once xMult is applied.)*
We're Balatro guys, of course we forget how plasma deck works 30 seconds into the run.
I have officially been transformed into a Type-A Chatter. My brain is screaming.
The endgame popcorn purchase for flat mult was so worthless its hilarious, love egg
popcorn made all the difference. At that point of the game the 15.5x times two and 6.5x times 50 = 78081 way more than the 4000 or so chips he had
He only got one 15.5x due to 1) brainstorm requiring suboptimal mult multer placement, and 2) brainstorm being placed suboptimally itself.
@@luka6575 the popcorn was being added after 18.5 (hologram) * 18.5 (hologram again) * 36 (base mult for high card) ~= 12000 mult, another 20 flat mult on top of that isn't doing anything
It was after hologram because holo had to be first but it should be before brainstorm and constellation so it would still be far better.
@@espygaming5101 after holo triggered his mult was over 800 so popcorn would be a cool
Fun fact: you can actually get Brainstorm/Blueprint to hit both Marble Joker and Certificate-Marble adds the cards when you select the blind, while Certificate adds them after you draw your first hand. So if you move Certificate while the stone cards are being added, Blueprint/Brainstorm will then copy Certificate before it activates.
Egg clearing plasma on orange stake faster than the SGDQ white stake "speed run" last night
That run was hard to watch. No offense to the guy, but it seemed like the runner had very little experience with the game, and he was also clearly nervous. Not the best way to showcase the game at GDQ; hopefully it comes back at some point.
@@lesfrisbees guy is #4 on the leaderboard for that category, saying he has "little experience" is ridiculous. he was at one point the world record holder. it just looked like he was playing "poorly" because he was going for speed tactics, not "making sure i win every run" tactics.
Those runs on plasma were actually so unlucky it's crazy. Got the runner luck but inverse.
That was a rough experience for him due to RNG, but Balatro is NOT a marathon-friendly speed game and they should not have put it in the marathon just because it's popular.
Close to 5 months of Balatro and brother is amazed by how plasma deck works
I think at a certain point every run he just forgets he's on the Plasma deck
we’re balatro guys, of course all good things come to an end…
Type A's are gonna have a heart attack when he passes on the best Blue Joker of all time in order to keep Mystic Summit.
And then he immediately dumps Mystic Summit for a temp Hanging Chad which gives significantly less chips than Blue Joker. This is Type A 9/11
mystic summit was actually better there, it was getting multiplied by *8 then a *14 which is loads higher than the 200 chips from blue joker. flat mult was all he needed in the endgame since it was getting multed so much, his mult was usually higher than his chips starting around ante 10
unfortunately most of the type A commenters dont have a good understanding of plasma deck because an extra 200 chips(much less once he discards to find blue seal) is much worse than even just 15 mult times hologram and constellation
@@JubeeGankinnot taking blue joker wasn’t a misplay but taking hanging Chad was a misplay
@@jjjjrodliterally lmfao. if you’re gonna be a type A, at least be right
We're Balatro guys, of course we have a type-"A"neurism any time the Egg plays the plasma deck.
i cannot believe misprint lasted that long
Selling hanging chad over misprint killed me. I am dead now.
the NL "we need to focus on chips" -> "we don't really need chips" Plasma Deck pipeline is real
Riff raff is an economic joker !!
That takes up 3 joker slots
Damn big brain
great run! The brainstorm + mult multer on far left + planets tech is one of my favorites. In future runs, you can move brain storm farther right past your other flat multers for even more mult!
we’re balatro guys, of course we buy telescope and never save the planets for the mult.
8:07 me as a precious gem consultant to some apprehensive newlyweds.
😂
8:08 the pyramid architects updating the pharaoh on how construction is progressing
NL was actually right to think about copying the flat Mult at 26:00. Because of his X mult at the time which was aprox 6X on constellation and 14X on hologram, that 15 mult turns into 1260, which is actually better than the stone joker at 1250. So many people think the plasma deck is all about chips, but when it comes to endless it’s actually the exact opposite. Because plasma treats chips and mult the same, the most important score factor is always the one that you can make the highest. Before endless that factor is chips because chip sources on average provide a much higher number than mult. However, when you get to endless mult is infinitely better for making a high number because you can increase it multiplicatively whereas chips can only ever be increased additively.
It was actually chat, not NL that didn’t understand how the plasma decks works all along 🤯
it never makes sense to copy flat mult over x mult though when your x mult is over 2. at best, copying flat mult results in a little worse than 2x the total mult because the base amount can't go over 2x the value of the flat mult because there's other sources of mult (from the hand level and card enhancements). copying x mult however results in another source of x mult which gets multiplied by all of the other sources, so you're effectively squaring your card's x mult when you copy it which is obviously a lot better than multiplying by less than 2
he actually does end up doing exactly this
@@snebr i dont know if im misunderstanding but i dont think thats true, for example if i have a initial mult of 5, then i have a fortune teller adding 50, then i have a 3x multer, then my total mult at the end is (5+(50x2)x3 =315? vs (5x3^2)+50= 95
thanks I finally got it
@@Isaac-ym8kq the copy of the x mult can go at the end still but yeah i think you’re right, i was wrong (unless it’s with blueprint where both can go at the end)
After you finish it you have to do the jokerless challenge.
Also you have gotten good at Balatro you should be proud.
I hate to say it, but he was right about mult toward the end. At 26:48 he was multiplying his base mult by roughly ×6 and ×14. I did the math, he would need to find a chip joker worth 1260 for it to be worth replacing the Summit's 15 mult (which hanging chad did NOT do). Maybe plasma deck DOES need both chips and mult...
Yes, late game plasma deck works best with mult, especially post ante 8. He didn't need any mult here to beat ante 8 because of the amazing synergy of his 3 chip jokers. The best way to play plasma is to start with chips and then pivot to mult, at some point in endless you are going to relay only on mult - in normal decks your chips are gonna limit you, in plasma that problem doesn't exist because of equalizer - by the endgame NL was getting 300,000 mult vs 2000 chips, making them irrelevant.
chips only ever scale additively, meaning diminishing returns from every scaling +chips joker, and mult can scale multiplicatively. focusing on chips is best if your only goal is to hit ante 8 and call it a day but for endless it needs xMult just like any other deck.
That stone joker duo got my gold stake on plasma deck just yesterday, it's so good in that deck
8:29 BROTHER THATS THE LITERALLY ALL YOU NEED TO WORRY ABOUT
He was saying that he didn't need to worry about getting more chips (the bull) because he already had stone joker
"Sometimes you just don't make it, and that's okay."
Me driving home, holding back an uncertain fart.
I'm actually so proud he finally realized the hologram being copied by brainstorm was the true end game strat
The mult multing was actually paying off. At 22:53, for example, the score is around 2600 x 2000 before the balance.
Chips are great for ante 8, but multi mult will still scale far better for endless.
5 stones should be called a "rushmore" and be a cool secret hand imo
There are 4 faces carved into Rushmore, though.
@@laithisr true :(
@@SamGBSR How about "Monumental" since all the monuments are made of stone?
Stonehenge
Another day, another Balatro episode
Life is good
Making desicions based off a fundamental misunderstanding of plasma deck, and then being rewarded with the some of the best jokers is so NL coded.
Been gone for a few months I come back Egg is almost done every deck, people still complaining about his play style in the comments… it’s good to be back
he will never understand plasma deck if he keeps getting carried by EXTREMELY lucky runs like this
I had a plasma deck get a double wee joker, hack, hiker, and one more perfect joker by ante 2. I got the achievement for not rerolling on that run.
I guess I'm just saying getting stupid lucky just happens after hundreds of games.
You cooked on this run ngl, at first I was another type A chatter thinking 'damn bro just focus on chips' but the mult ended up being extremely important. Well played man, orange stake ante 13 is no small feat.
loading into the balatro video and seeing plasma deck fills me with despair
e: okay sorry NL I apologize it was a pretty good run
There will come a day where he puts Brainstorm all the way at the right when it's copying a first-position mult-multer. It's not today, but someday...
hopefully localthunk comes out with some dlc soon. would hate to see balatro run out of steam so quickly
many people are saying this
mods = homebrew dlc
but yea, mod balancing is wack vs. what an official update could bring.
His line at about the 4:50 mark about all the mult coming from Misprint Joker was a real facepalm.
Watching him harp about mult on plasma deck has GOTTA be him rage baiting comments
watching him sell hanging chad which gave him +100 chips instead of misprint which gave him like 20 mult if he was lucky crushed my soul
He’s getting a lot better tbh
Has anybody ever told him that he should use his planet cards before getting to the store so that there's a chance the planet will show up in the store?
I see a lot of back and forth about chips vs. mult in the plasma deck.
For anyone wondering, when he beat ante 8, he would have had a higher score if misprint, hologram, and constellation were all debuffed and he had just moved stone joker to the left.
If youre going to make a big push into endless, +mult and xmult are going to be your best friends, but if the goal with the early marble + stone was to beat ante 8, keeping misprint at all costs was a bit reckless
FLUBBED??? We're spoonkid boys of course we flub
he will never surprise me with how easily he makes the worst of the best situation
Man understands he solely need chips, proceeds to only reference way to acquire more mult from minute 3:00-7:00. The lights are too bright
You gotta remember, with plasma deck chips and mult have the same value. 20 mult is the same as 20 chips. It's only different if you have mult multers.
The way to explain it to him is:
_"Chips are Mult"_
Not technically true in all cases, but I feel like it gets the point across.
type a moment when he doesn't move the brainstorm copying hologram after the flat mult
Even half the comments are wrong about plasma deck. Chips esrly mult late, this was a great run for that. The biggest misplay, and the one i have seen on multiple runs. Is not copying the mult multer at the end. Before the balance you were anding with roughly equal chips and mult. Therefore copying +chips jokers is roughly *1.5 total score, where as copying holo with *10 would have been a massive increase. You were essentially only using 20% of your potential score with that joker order
Wait he did it!!! I think he actually understands the game now.
Only thing is move brainstorm to the end since it's effectively a mult multer and thus having it after flat mult is a little better like 8% so not a huge deal but...
he better just be farming at this point
For those who don't know the title is a reference to a really old rock song.
Having observatory and 3 consumable slots and using the plutos every time for 1 extra level unstead of the 1.5x mult is a wild choice.
Yeah he might have barely beat ante 13, not a huge difference only like an extra *3.3 which is barely enough to have saved him on the blind he lost
It's not a choice to forget you bought observatory
Pasiphae of Cretes be like: 24:40
Him getting rid of ballot and keeping misprint makes me type a
I'm not ready to say goodbye balatro guys...
We still have jokerless run. Maybe he'll retry once he beats all the stakes.
He could also go for gold stake wins with all jokers, for maximum completionism
Everyone is all chips this, mult that, but I haven't seen anyone mention the fact that he has observatory, which I think would be much more valuable to him if he kept the pluto cards instead of using them, he's only getting 10 chips and 1 mult out of every use, if he built it a little at first and THEN used the pluto cards in inventory to X mult that would have been much more useful for him later on.
We're Balatro guys, of course we completely misunderstand that our deck basically plays itself after playing a single Ace and getting 300k points
We're plasma deck guys, of course we keep misprint
I cannot believe how deeply he misunderstands the Plasma deck. Misprint was contributing essentially nothing when compared to the sheer amount of chips. Is this my Type A moment?
Me when I'm farming content with "Greatest of All-Time" lists.
Watching him believe the success of the run was credited to farming planet cards, was like watching a little kid in an arcade who thinks they’re playing a game even though they didn’t put money in. 😂
funnily enough committing to those mult jokers, which were irrelevant for ante 8, was the thing that enabled him to go so far in endless
we must stay focused type B’s
"Cya!" vs "L8R!"
Discuss.
i'm not going to join the discussion but i like the point raised
I know I'm being a type A here but the whole time I'm screaming that he never put the joker that copies the leftmost joker all the way on the right, he just kept it in the middle for no damn reason. It had the highest mult ever, WHYY!???
Damn, my mans getting so fast playing baltro, that my sleepy ass cant keep up
NL doesn’t understand 20 mult is basically only 100 chips on this deck and is therefore bald
4:20 Lenin to the Moscow trader class after killing the Romanovs
after i beat all gold stakes and challenges i finally understood that type a chatters have no idea what they're talking about because this run was pretty immaculate
I know! This run is great, and it's 90% down to cool chip synergy with stone jokers
I'm convinced 90％+ of the comments have never even played the game.
We're balatro guys of course we are type a chatters mad nl wont focus on chips.
Hey NL, for plasma deck ignore chips and mult just look at the number. bigger the number the better. chips and mult are the same thing in plasma deck. even like leving hands is giving chips and mult its very good
Chips and mult are the same thing in every deck. The difference is the type of jokers/cards that make them. Mult gets multed, chips are added at large amounts. Chips are only good in plasma at the start, before you get mult multers
thats how it works on every deck. the difference with plasma deck is it takes the sum of chips and mult, divides it by 2 and squares that number for the score instead of just doing chips*mult
I’m starting to believe that he has never read what plasma deck does. I refuse to believe that he is aware of the balance mechanic for how often he talks about mult.
Aint no way he keeps both swashbuckler and certificate over blue joker dawg
27:08 he sold his mult for an extra 50 chips over blue joker which roughly is an extra 200+ chips
Immaculate run NL
This isn't your average everyday type A viewer experience. This is... ADVANCED TYPE A.
Literal professional Balatro player. Leaves brainstorm in front of his flat mult even though it's copying a mult-multer
Bro chose misprint over constellation 😭😭
How can I block any videos he attempts plasma deck. Its bad for my blood pressure.
guys he still just doesnt get the plasma deck. chips are mult brother
we're balatro guys, of course we MUST only focus on chips in plasma deck.
Bruv, 8 of clubs equals 8 chips yeah? And Stone equals 50 chips yea? See where I'm going?
good run tho
keeping buccaneer at the back of all the times mults besides celest was my favorite part
The guy gets to ante 13, and people still find stuff to complain about, lol.
Misprint lasting that long was surprising lol
my dude going for pairs instead of high card made me feel something inside
NL out here rocking Big Deck Energy.
In essence, Plasma deck is hard chip early game, then pivot into mult multers late game (maybe)
say what you will, he got to e!
You know the run was busted when people are arguing in the comments not how you could have won but how you could have won *harder*
NL really needs to get over his single joker obsession that misprint was doing like nothing for him lol
Surely some chips early game moving to big mult multers is the best way to go given chips and mult are balanced depending on what one's bigger - great run!
Bro won the game and is getting cooked in the comments
11:06 you'd think he'd work it out
we're balatro guys of course we are
10:16 I completely lost my shit
