[wet drum]

Then again, I DO have the reroll boss blind voucher...

[boreal niche]

I prolly shouldn't

[hallow quiver]

+3 effective hand size is worth -1 mime activation, but i have no idea what your deck looks like

[inner tiger]

Bro they're eternal

[boreal niche]

I don't have nearly enough red seal steel kings is the thing

ofc i can dupe with dna though

[wet drum]

...

What is this RUN!?

Throwback!?

[inner tiger]

Ido why I have such an issue with Econ

[inner tiger]

Compulsive shopper maybe but it's like impossible for me to stay above $25

[hallow quiver]

Yeah, DNA can be a bit iffy if you still need to finish deck manipulating. At the same time, how close are you to dead? May just need the extra scoring to continue.

[wet drum]

...

Blessed.

Fucking. BLESSED.

[hallow quiver]

Also keep in mind you can get some extra scoring with your setup by copying the Baron once (and copying your mime 3 times). I'm too eepy to do the math but with 5 effective mimes you actually may want to copy baron twice.

[red hamlet]

jambo

[sand talon]

yo

take both and take the vouher too

oh wait

you are on ante 7

[wet drum]

Yep

Honestly not needed anymore.

GGs.

[sand talon]

not jokers... sell your soul 👹

for thy blueprint

[wet drum]

Purple Stake done for Red Deck, time to try out Orange Stake.

[quiet shell]

I forgot what did orange do

[sand talon]

i wish we can see our previous matches end scoreboard like this whenever we want :(

[quiet shell]

Was it perishables?

[wet drum]

Perishable Jokers would spawn in shops.

[quiet shell]

ah yeah

Kinda wish stickers had lower chance for negatives or something like that

[inner tiger]

Yo this is what I've been complaining about for days. Has taken me longer than gold stake anaglyph for some reason

[wet drum]

Aaaand my first Orange Stake run, I decided to take the Tag that gives a free Rare Joker.

Guess the Rare Joker I fucking GOT.

[chrome lynx]

Anyone knows who is this site owner?
https://balatroseeds.com/

[boreal niche]

NEW RECORD

[quiet shell]

Like negatives are already rare, just let me have wo stickersss

[boreal niche]

e90!!

[boreal niche]

ugh the real problem was i had like

[dusty idol]

POGPOG

[boreal niche]

No fucking red seals

i got so few deja vus and not enough deaths once i got one

[inner tiger]

Love him but he'll end up killing you in the end. Haven't been a higher stakes run with him

[boreal niche]

In fact i just did not get offered enough spectrals in general

i desperately needed an ecto

[inner tiger]

The cards you need simply don't draw lol

[next echo]

waves !!

[quiet shell]

I wouldnt reccomen joker tags in higher stakes there is a chance they have stickers although thats more of a gold stake problem it still aplies to orange

[wet drum]

Amen to that.

Fingers crossed that I don't get assfucked.

[quiet shell]

But glad that it payed off for you

[boreal niche]

ante 1 if the tag gives shit just hold R lol

You are right though

[sand talon]

that's why you gotta take seance or sixth sense

[boreal niche]

i'm contemplating just going ghost deck for highscore tbh

because god this is so inconsistent

[sand talon]

and grind for redseals and criptids

[quiet shell]

I mean sure but it kinda gets annoying bc you can get thrash frequently

[inner tiger]

Ancient joker is the only or one of the only jokers who's NRG is not dependent on your deck. Truly 25% chance so you have to keep your deck even

[boreal niche]

Alternatively get red seal wild cards

[quiet shell]

Yeah

[inner tiger]

True but wild cards get fucked by so many bosses

[boreal niche]

The suit debuffs usually appear in early antes

by the time you have a lot of wilds you should have passed most of them

[quiet shell]

Why ghostdeck tho?

[inner tiger]

Yeah with reroll that would be pretty sweet actually I gotta try that

[vivid island]

skip to ensure you don't hit a suit debuff that matches AJ

[boreal niche]

so i can find spectrals more easily

i get that plasma is PROBABLY better

but DAMN i keep gettin fucked over

[vivid island]

AJ cannot roll same suit for 2 consecutive rounds IIRC

[quiet shell]

is just the matter of playing around the spectral gimmicks

[red hamlet]

yup

[inner tiger]

Plasma baron builds simply rinses any other high score runs

[quiet shell]

Likes sixth sense or seance, and you can also open standards

In your average run you can wuite frequently get a red seal either from standards or spectrals

[inner tiger]

However ghost deck is just my favorite deck by a mile lol so if immma spend a long time trying I'd rather try to do something funky in ghost deck

[quiet shell]

And is easier to get strengths if lets say your red seal is a 10 than it is to obtain the dejavu card

#⚙・modding-general

[untold apex]

sorry

[quiet shell]

No worries

[boreal niche]

mmm

being honest

i don't really like playing endless

[red hamlet]

moooood

[inner tiger]

I was about to ask how that said 91/92 lol

[boreal niche]

least of all unseeded

I kinda just do this to prove that i can

rather than bc i actually like this aspect of balatro

[quiet shell]

Me neither it all turns into a shopping sim later on

[boreal niche]

i like playing stakes more

[inner tiger]

Yea it's a chore lol I just hit new game once I got the dub

[boreal niche]

nothing against people who like endless

[quiet shell]

I got the naneinf thingy and called it a w

[boreal niche]

i get it

[inner tiger]

How many deck stakes do y'all got

[boreal niche]

rn i only have 3/15

[quiet shell]

All

[boreal niche]

yellow, ghost, painted

[quiet shell]

I kinda just spawn every now and then into the disc

[inner tiger]

Me too

Spawning in here I mean

[mint violet]

i just got an update on my switch that balatro had a small update

[north gazelle]

me at the restaurant where every item is penis "hello yes i would like to start with penis with a side of penis with penis to drink"

[boreal niche]

probably the friends of jimbo

[quiet shell]

I still have c++ to do

[mint violet]

i alr got that though

[quiet shell]

But no way im going that far

[mint violet]

slay the princsess my beloved

[inner tiger]

I have 99/120 stakes

[boreal niche]

deltarune balatro tomorrow

[quiet shell]

Thats quite high

Almost done

[mint violet]

yes balatro tmro

[inner tiger]

Gold in blue, yellow, ghost, abandoned, checkered and anaglyph

[mint violet]

nthn seems new sadly prolly a small bug fix

[inner tiger]

Somehow absolutely stuck at orange stake red

Bad luck and dumb mistakes

[quiet shell]

I have a lot of fun in erratic gold stake

[inner tiger]

I love erratic I'm kinda saving it for last

[quiet shell]

Yeah

I had the most fun with it

[inner tiger]

I lied ghost deck isn't my fave by a mile erratic is a close second

Also a big fan of painted and hot take strongly dislike plasma

[warm kelp]

i beat black deck gold stake!!

[quiet shell]

Plasma is quite difficult in higher stakes due to its scaling

[warm kelp]

ppl sleeping on pair

[inner tiger]

Brooo quite an achievement. Congrats mate

[warm kelp]

[quiet shell]

Nice

[boreal niche]

idt anyone sleeps on pair

[quiet shell]

I saved that one for last

[boreal niche]

But congrats!

[inner tiger]

Was that your last ione?

[warm kelp]

nope, it's my second gold staked deck

!!

[quiet shell]

Hey thats dope

[warm kelp]

now i can finally play the game

[inner tiger]

Jesus lol. Psycho move

[warm kelp]

😭

[inner tiger]

I have purple on all except black and nebula simply bc nebula bores me

[quiet shell]

At least youll feel the other ones a bit easier

[warm kelp]

the first one was checkered, then i went to black because i hate the black deck sm

[polar hill]

big michael

[warm kelp]

might as well get it over with yk'

[quiet shell]

Same like the early telescope doesnt mean much if you dont have a build

[inner tiger]

Literally 0-100 difficult lol

[vocal ferry]

is copying chad the correct move here for maximal score

[warm kelp]

thx guys, i love balatro

[inner tiger]

Yes it's just basically a normal deck with one less voucher spot. Then the perk of likely getting observatory kinda sucks cuz if the one voucher spot lmao. Stupid ass deck

Should come with like a high chance of perkeo or something

Or hear me out, you get perkeo but just one other joker slot

[warm kelp]

nebula deck players when they find emperor

[quiet shell]

Is better to copy photo if you arent playing glass, w glass not so sure

Im a bit sleepy to think

[vocal ferry]

is the screenshot goood quality or should i make it worse

[quiet shell]

That or the high priestiess

[inner tiger]

I think I did this in the calculator and yes u copy photo

[warm kelp]

@inner tiger when i was grinding black deck, the strat i had was to fill your joker slots as fast as possible

[inner tiger]

Interesting... that makes perfect sende

[warm kelp]

yes even joker tag gambling got me through some stakes pretty easily

[inner tiger]

Ok back to fucking orange stake red deck 😩

[hot lily]

Whats the best deck for all the stakes? ( i unlockd all decks except hte last one) i assume its checkerd or plasma for easy scoring

[red hamlet]

ye

[oblique hound]

Ah hah hah

Its all diamonds

Turning my whole deck to one suit is sweet

[red hamlet]

[uneven edge]

mid run should I reset

[boreal niche]

Oh for sure

[red hamlet]

wonder what the esports scene is liek for pronouns

[red hamlet]

should've reset at ante 8

[slender eagle]

world peace and no more hunger: £43.99
balatro cavendish hoodie: £44.99

me af: 🎵 I need a dollar, dollar, a dollar is what I neeeed

[split quest]

First like 9-10 antes are all about getting as much money as you can if you are going for high scores

@uneven edge

[uneven edge]

yeah I got lots of gold cards just giving me money rn

[split quest]

I get it gold cards are pretty good in that build but i needed like $5k to get my naneinf

I only had like 600 left when i got it

[graceful tree]

Am I the only one who doesn't remember any card names? Just pictures for jokers
And just reads descriptions for planets, tarpts, spectrals

Don't recognise pictures and names

They all blur together in my mind

[dusty idol]

I dont know the names of the actual jokers at least

[red hamlet]

my autism won't let me forget the names

[dusty idol]

I just know them as the chip and mult jokers for different hand types lol

[lament tendon]

bruh

[junior oar]

eeveryone look at mr bones italian name

[red hamlet]

italian is so goofy

[glacial sequoia]

What's autism has to do with it? /gen

[red hamlet]

fucks with my memory

i wont' be able to tell you what i've done in the past week

[glacial sequoia]

Ooh, got it👌

[icy knot]

the fuck happened in game disc channel

[red hamlet]

but god damn it i know them jokers

[glacial sequoia]

Some stupid feud about something...
Roll on, don't give a crap about it

[undone tiger]

loads of drama

[red hamlet]

Oh. I see.

all caught up now and not worth digging into it

[undone tiger]

yeah, was kinda dumb, i don't think it was a big deal or worth the time out

[dusk socket]

What’s everyone’s favorite food joker

[undone tiger]

Conclusion, Chad is broken

[undone tiger]

Hmmm, good question

[red hamlet]

don't talk to me

[royal mica]

ice cream

[regal latch]

Cavendish since I like bananas and it looks quite delectable

It’s like a perfectly yellow banana

[red hamlet]

flower pot

https://tenor.com/view/happy-birthday-marie-gif-26636868

[twin prairie]

Does anyone know how to set the Constellation value on the balatro calc?

[dusk socket]

Munchin on some dirt. Understandable

[undone tiger]

Sorry

[glacial sequoia]

I used to hate Ramen. But it can be good occasioanlly

[royal mica]

there is balatrocalculator what

[red hamlet]

https://efhiii.github.io/balatro-calculator/

[regal latch]

Yeah it is quite clitch for calcing shit you are unsure of

[red hamlet]

it's peak for getting the right joker order

when you're nto really sure what to copy

[glacial sequoia]

Never used it

[twin prairie]

oh under value, that makes way more sense

[red hamlet]

yeah, it's used for all the jokers, including idol

which is annoying

but more of a minor inconvenience

[twin prairie]

I saw someone recommend it before chatlock, and Im like wow why am I bugging yall with questions I can just input shit into here

[icy knot]

early game foil supernova or late game baron

[regal latch]

Foil Supernova 99%

[red hamlet]

neither, Showman

[icy knot]

c++ dont lie

every time

[red hamlet]

they dont' have c++ yet

[regal latch]

Late Game Baron is fun for endless though....way more fun than watching observatory cycle through a bajillion planets

Plus way less laggy

[undone tiger]

Foil supernova is broken asf

[regal latch]

I used to dislike Supernova and then I realized it's like Green/RtB but less restrictive

You can discard purple or garbo hands or play face cards if you need to/want

[red hamlet]

it's similarly restrictive
just not as punishing

you can't pump it using high card and then play a two pair like you can wiht green or bus

[regal latch]

That is true I guess

[red hamlet]

it just doesn't reset and is more commital

[undone tiger]

They all have their pros and cons, but definetly supernova is really good on some build and can be bette than those two

My favorite is probably green Joker since its not restricted to hand and doesn't reset

Because you can't lol

[slim junco]

I realised that 1 second after sending the message

I mixed up flush house with royal flush oops

[uneven edge]

if I play my hands will I win off the rip?

[undone tiger]

probably

[uneven edge]

sigh

[red hamlet]

what lvl high card

throwing your shit in the calc rn

[uneven edge]

34

I got the serpent a little earlier than I expected

[crystal flint]

Yippee!!!

[red hamlet]

you're good, g

2 barons even

you're so good

[uneven edge]

i’m trying to make sure I don’t win

initially

[red hamlet]

do this then

[uneven edge]

and get all the cards out to MAYBE pb

[crystal flint]

maybe copy that flowerpot with all the blueprints and brainstorms until the final hand

[red hamlet]

nah

brainstorms on blue, blue on brain

e46, you won't win

13 zeroes off

[icy knot]

deck is all red seal steel kings?

[uneven edge]

yes

[uneven edge]

like this?

[red hamlet]

yes gang

[icy knot]

yuppo

[uneven edge]

that gold card is the only non red seal

okay cool

this still won’t win right

just want to be anal about everything lol

[icy knot]

trust

🤡

[uneven edge]

yup I got e56 alright thank you

how do I arrange my cards for the highest score possible now

[red hamlet]

use all the discards as well to get more kigns

[uneven edge]

I probably already had it but I just need another word

before I go crazy and think I did it wrong

[red hamlet]

2 on baron, 1 on mine

[slim junco]

I'm sorry Obelisk, I was not familiar with your game

Just helped me beat Ante 8, Black Deck on Gold Stakes

[red hamlet]

obelisk is so peak

[icy knot]

both brainstorm on mime

[slim junco]

Used to think it was garbage until now

[icy knot]

and bp on baron

[slim junco]

Now I am a changed woman, I see the light

[icy knot]

so 3mimes and 3 barons~

[red hamlet]

nah

2 brians on baron, 1 blue on mime

[icy knot]

dont you need equal parts retriggers and mult

[red hamlet]

they have an extra reproc from red seal

[uneven edge]

no calc guess how high it went

[icy knot]

nvm red seal

[red hamlet]

135

[uneven edge]

little higher

[red hamlet]

sick

i'm ngl, i care little for baron mime

[uneven edge]

E192

yeah reasonable

[red hamlet]

oh sick

only 116 more zeroes

and you got naneinf

[uneven edge]

LOL

yeah in my dreams

I dont think I can push it further w/o hella cryptids

and I dont have perkeo

[icy knot]

bean bug still on or was it patched

[red hamlet]

if you can get a negative burglar, it would go hard and you could do it on a serpent probably

[uneven edge]

yeah I spent all my money in the shop looking for that but it didnt show up sadly :(

[red hamlet]

you actually got the right setup, just need a way to get 44 kinds in hand

[undone tiger]

Everyone is an Obelisk hater until you get how to play it

[uneven edge]

my money gone so this dream is dead though unfortunately

new PB tho so im happy

[viscid shore]

which is better? Four Fingers or Shortcut

[icy knot]

high card

[red hamlet]

both have their own uses

4 fingers lets you play easier flushes/straights
shortcut makes straights more lenient

you can use both for super easy straights

[slim junco]

I 100% confirm

[tough edge]

wip

[slim junco]

I was a hater until it literally saved my run

[viscid shore]

same with straight hand runs (as a former straight hand build hater)

people do be hating on how "inconsistent" the straight build is when you mostly have to rectify that with deck manipulation and other mechanics

[undone tiger]

Four fingers make Straights and flush eassier and Straight Flush viable
Shortcut makes straight and easy to hit hand
I personally like four fingers more since it makes Straightflush way eassier than shortcut but for a normal straight build probably shortcut

[red hamlet]

problem is that fixing for a straight isn't the same as fixing for a 5oak or a flush house

[undone tiger]

If you can have both then better

[viscid shore]

mostly got a 4 fingers run

I didn't really realize you can just win with 4 fingers, a runner, a red card, and the order

and supplement those with a bunch of saturns

[undone tiger]

It's eassier to deck fix if you get rid of the bottom ranks and higher ones

[undone tiger]

Straights scale ultra fast

[viscid shore]

i've been playing straights for a long while

I mostly haven't had the intuition to just figure out what jokers work in the late game

since I don't really understand why I die by around ante 7-8

you can go a long way with scaling with JUST planets

[undone tiger]

non scaling Jokers tend to decay quickly, they usually carry but then you just loose on later antes, Red card is an amazing scaler

[red hamlet]

ideally you grab a scaling joker or an xmult

you can get away with using truly dogshit jokers if you got a scaling xmult

[undone tiger]

You can actually win with just planets, but a flat mult scaler goes hard

[viscid shore]

I love red card

[red hamlet]

this dogshit made it to the ante 8 boss

[viscid shore]

getting rewarded for opening packs that have nothing is great

[undone tiger]

Fortune teller + Vagabond is an amazing build

[red hamlet]

time to play some league

[viscid shore]

what are these jokers

none of them scales skull~1

[red hamlet]

Tarot scales with vagabond giving tarots
hiker scales my chips

bro is a white stake baron mime builder for sure

[queen vine]

Fr

[viscid shore]

is hiker a good scaler?

it seems so slow?

[slim junco]

I've had some success with Hiker and Chad/Sock

[viscid shore]

keyword: seems

[slim junco]

But it's not my favorite

[viscid shore]

ohhh, repeat action

[red hamlet]

it's so peak for abandoned or erratic

[viscid shore]

abandoned is the goat, yeah

how do you build around erratic

4 of a kind? full house?

[red hamlet]

reset until you get a lot of one card that has good jokers

[viscid shore]

flush?

[undone tiger]

Is a good chips Joker, it has the pro of scaling your deck forever, you get it for a bit and you just don't need chips anymore

[red hamlet]

and you can build 5oak from roudn 1

[viscid shore]

im not one to r hold

mostly just general advice is what I'm after

[viscid shore]

well, this is general advice lol

nvm

[undone tiger]

3oak is amazing on erratic

[steep elm]

like this?

[viscid shore]

egg challeng

[undone tiger]

Full house and flush can make you strong early

[steep elm]

yes

omlette

[slim junco]

I haven't played it yet so I might be full of shit, but I think of it as a pre-fixed deck

So you already have a direction

[red hamlet]

this is basically it

[slim junco]

If you have 10 Kings of Spades

[red hamlet]

you can either play with what you got and let fate handle it

or reset until you have a comfy deck you like playing around

[slim junco]

Then well, you already have a very clear direction for Flush Five

[uneven edge]

Hack build 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[red hamlet]

it's not much different from checkered

[slim junco]

Yeah you can reset until you get a deck that's nuts

[red hamlet]

there's also that bugged erratic seed

oops all 10 of spades

[slim junco]

Ah yes, that's fun

52 10 of Spades

[sand talon]

i got banned from a server because i provoked someone to speedrun getting banned from the server 😭

[viscid shore]

oops all 10 of spades!

[slim junco]

Speaking of decks, I just beat Black Deck and I wonder if there are any other decks that could pose a challenge. I'm going in order so Red, Blue, Yellow and Green are also beat

Nebula deck seems annoying, Zodiac deck too

[viscid shore]

the double tag one

[red hamlet]

anaglyph

anaglyph unironically slaps

[viscid shore]

I sitll have white on that one

[red hamlet]

cause it makes skips worth a lot more

[viscid shore]

I don't wanna touch it

[red hamlet]

trust, it's peak

[slim junco]

Oh right, Anaglyph

[red hamlet]

peam even

[cold lichen]

I love you wee

[slim junco]

Anaglyph seems like it's just

[cold lichen]

You soloed this run

[red hamlet]

you can also just

play it like a normal deck

[slim junco]

Stack a lot of Double Tags

Until you get something insane

Double Money, Negatives, etc

[sand talon]

im thinking of deleting discord guys... what yall think?

[slim junco]

But yeah, I don't like to skip

[cold lichen]

Do it

[red hamlet]

please do

[sand talon]

"please"???

yeah on a second thought guys....

[cold lichen]

Cornball

[viscid shore]

it's high variance

[sand talon]

https://tenor.com/view/wolf-of-wall-street-not-leaving-not-fucking-leaving-staying-gif-20904116

[red hamlet]

it's the same variance as any other deck

if you don't get any good skips
It's just a normal deck

[viscid shore]

i'm assuming when you get that sweet negative, it's like a wild ride

[cold lichen]

Sad

[sand talon]

how i expect this server to react:

[slim junco]

That's mostly how I planned to play it

Get a shitton of Negatives and have fun

[sand talon]

I might actually do it tho...

[undone tiger]

Black deck is definetly the hardest one

[cold lichen]

Do it alr

[sand talon]

you do it and ill do it 👀

[slim junco]

In a twisted way, it was fun. Counterintuitive cuz I'm not the kind of player to hold R

I like to play all runs I get no matter how ass

[viscid shore]

when you hold R, what kind of start would you look for

[slim junco]

Usually either something that's extremely directional in a very obvious way (Green Joker / Ride The Bus, Shortcut, Supernova, etc), a good econ joker like Mail-In Rebate or Golden Joker, or something that let's me breeze through the early rounds

Oh and Riff-Raff. Riff-Raff my beloved

I don't care if it whiffs a million times, it's one of my faves

[viscid shore]

I see, goody

[slim junco]

That's how I got through all of my Black Deck runs. If it's none of those, I'd just reset

I think I'm not as picky as other people though

[cold lichen]

Nty im not a cornball whos looking for attention

[slim junco]

What about you, @viscid shore?

[inner tiger]

Finally win orange stake red deck after days wi Ty the weirdest eternal build. Took longer than any gold stake. God knows why. I had to pass in cavendish 😭

[sand talon]

blud thinks im looking for attention 😭

[cold lichen]

You are vro🚅

[viscid shore]

hm? oh, I was asking because I don't really hold R all that much

i'm not that far yet into the game where I'm looking for particular setups right off the bat since I'm still familiarizing myself with what works

I keep myself open to learning how the various jokers work as I learn the game

Troubadour is my beloved though

[inner tiger]

The feeling when quija changes your hand to a Fibonacci number is unmatched

[slim junco]

I wil say I have never played a run with Troubadour, even though I know it's probably good

-1 hand just seems very bleh for money stacking

I like money

[viscid shore]

once you get by around 25/50 money, you can barely tell the difference

I just like the extra hand size

it feels different

[red hamlet]

it's 1 dollar

[inner tiger]

See that's why. I like painted deck but I also never ever take him lol

[red hamlet]

vs 2 extra cards in hand that can be gold ones for money 🙂

[inner tiger]

Mental block

[rocky mortar]

Photo Chad is the name of their band (yes it’s a Balatro reference lol)

[uneven edge]

what do i replace for brainstorm

[red hamlet]

could yeet suck and buster

get more photochadding in there

[digital tusk]

i umm what is this run 😭

[lost apex]

I'm late but ditto this

that's like 5x the 2x photograph multiplier

[red hamlet]

🗿 anybody want to trade luck

cause god is praying on my downfall

[undone tiger]

sure

[torpid yarrow]

Hmmmmm

[sand talon]

very interesting run

somehow loses next round

if you're just trying to go for a high ante what's a good deck to go with

[red hamlet]

plasma

[sand talon]

there are 2 good options...
Ghost deck and Plasma

i prefer Ghost deck for some reason i dont even knoow

[strong rose]

👻

[fervent canopy]

ghost deck is the spectral card one right

[red hamlet]

plasma does funny things to your score

[sand talon]

yessu

@sand talon got 2nd high score, actually updated my stats this time

Not as high as other high score though

[slender eagle]

yesterday I explained this girl balatro

and her first question

"why are there 2 bananas in the game"

I couldn't answer.

I knew just how much information a human mind can hold

and she wasn't gonna be able to handle it.

[sand talon]

she can gros on my michel until i cavendish moment

[fierce nexus]

Because the first type of banana was a Chad that got griefed and bullied by Fungi and Bacteriae mains so much they had to become mild Cavendish betas. Localthunk is a well informed genius who wanted to explain this history to us in his masterpiece, Balatro.

[slender eagle]

truest

[livid bone]

I'm in the middle of doing something really stupid

[brave saddle]

bluestorm

[livid bone]

I wanted to make him red but i realized he's still blue in the original

[pallid sapphire]

brainprint

[livid bone]

It's the child of blueprint-brainstorm yuri

[brave saddle]

how does yuri make children

oml

well they're cards so whatever

[steel sand]

are all the jokers female

[balmy walrus]

If we consider that brainstorming comes before bluepriting when making a project... guess this can simply be called "prototype", as it comes after blueprinting. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[brave saddle]

nah

[brave saddle]

where does the spermb come from

[red hamlet]

also since 2016

[brave saddle]

may be

[red hamlet]

also they're already made insane progress with making embryos from just stem cells

[brave saddle]

cool

[sand talon]

the screen shots hero strikes again!!

[limber moth]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY\

[sand talon]

i took the soul and look what it gave me

worst synergy ever wtf

[limber moth]

opps gave him yorick

[pallid sapphire]

good bye green joker

[wary sigil]

I now have gold sticker on my credit card

[limber moth]

good job guy

[sand talon]

its on +20 mult 😭

and its my only mult source now

i will die if i dont use it

[wary sigil]

what deck should i try going gold stake next

[sand talon]

also i dont have much discards

[limber moth]

erratic

[sand talon]

blue

[wary sigil]

erratic deck it is

I already got gold stake on blue

(on my phone)

[limber moth]

good job buddy

[wary sigil]

bruh

[pallid sapphire]

oh yeah yorick is kinda ass in higher stakes

[sand talon]

i think you should pick baron here cuz you will never find a baron when you need it 😭

[pallid sapphire]

maybe you can sacrifice like 1 or 2 mult every round for yorick and then keep green jokering

[wary sigil]

my guy, my deck spawned with no kings.

[sand talon]

oh

[pallid sapphire]

lmfao

[wary sigil]

chat

diamonds or clubs

[livid bone]

abortion

[wary sigil]

uh

don't you mean adoption?

[livid bone]

no

[livid bone]

CHOOSE 1

thought I wonder if there are 0 kings in deck

so anyway

[brave saddle]

she brainstorm on my blueprint till i leftmost joker

[warm kelp]

prototype

[wary sigil]

chat

[warm kelp]

copy the leftmost joker disables the rightmost joker

[red hamlet]

oh, so like a worse brainstorm

[strong rose]

thonk

[rigid crow]

what if its the rightmost joker itself

liar paradox joker

[rocky wren]

It disables and renables itself with every tick

[pallid sapphire]

does it gain x0.25 mult per lucky card trigger?

[sand talon]

yall

i kinda have a challenge you guys

try to win this run
seed: HPA92TBC

deck: blue deck

[wary sigil]

what's in this seed?

[pallid sapphire]

what stake btw

[warm kelp]

how about beating gold stake black deck

[sand talon]

guys should i sell onyx or hack to get obeobelicks

or just leave obeobe lisks?

[wary sigil]

Just leave obelisk

[warm kelp]

leave the shop

[wary sigil]

It's not good early in the run.

actually wait

[sand talon]

acutally its good

[wary sigil]

pick up 10 4

[pallid sapphire]

he could just pump on pairs or something now and switch to something else later down the road to scale

[warm kelp]

its worse than the club stone

[sand talon]

dond have money 😭

[wary sigil]

He got hack

[warm kelp]

a low club card is better

14 mult instead of 8

[sand talon]

bro said club joker is worst 😭

man im dead

[pallid sapphire]

No, he said the walkie talkie is worse than the club stone

[sand talon]

that's what i did last time

and obliesksksk is very powerful

so... should i sell hack or the uh.... uh.... onyx

[pallid sapphire]

okay, so if you think you can do it then tkae obelisk

[warm kelp]

obelisk isn’t great early without a proper setup

[sand talon]

fak it imma just sell the hack

[wary sigil]

Yeah it's only ante 2

Obelisk will just be a dead slot early game

[warm kelp]

dead run gg

[sand talon]

imma pump up high cars

[warm kelp]

obelisk is great late game when you have chip and mult jokers to back you up

[wary sigil]

I know.

[warm kelp]

otherwise you’d just gimp your economy trying to scale it

[tardy cloud]

I came up with something

Joker Idea:
Thalia- +5 Mult. gain +5 mult everytime a Joker or Card is triggered.

Melpomene- 10X Mult. -0.1X Mult everytime a Joker or Card is triggered.

How is this ?

[pallid sapphire]

Thalia is goated if you get it early and Melpomene is goated if you get it late

[tardy cloud]

Based on the real names of the Comedy and Tragedy masks

[wary sigil]

Nothing like judgement into photograph on abandoned deck

[tacit igloo]

Fer fook sake

Thanks balatro

FOR PISSING ME OFF

[wary sigil]

eyy it's chicot

[pallid sapphire]

now you don't have to worry about any of the bosses

W

[tardy cloud]

The Pillar can't hurt you now

[pallid sapphire]

needle means nothing

ox means nothing

[polar hill]

Big Michael

[frail stirrup]

chat purple seal or blue seal

which is better in your opinion? it used to be purple but i haven't played much since the blue seal buff

[red hamlet]

neither, red seal

[frail stirrup]

ok but i dont have deja vu in my spectral pack

[sand talon]

still losing somehow 😭

[deft ledge]

planning on leveling up secret hands? Blue seal
going for a deck fix? Purple seal

[sand talon]

yeah im done

i deleted balatro after this run

im deleting discord too

bye yall

[dry karma]

[tacit igloo]

Hanging

Err..

Sigh

[opal meteor]

[tacit igloo]

Yeah hanging

[dry karma]

sell chad

no cavendish

[tacit igloo]

Gold stake

Fun

[dapper wing]

do I get rid of blue joker so I can get mystic summit

(I wanna keep the stencil value)

[tacit igloo]

Uhhhhh

Its at 2?

[dapper wing]

wait shit I just realized summit is perishable

never fucking mind

[tacit igloo]

Wait

Yeah

[quick prairie]

Why not take brainstorm

?

[royal zenith]

Just lost a purple stake run to forgetting to use seeing double one time :/

[dry karma]

no im take photo

[dapper wing]

…lusty?

Im playing flushes like crazy anyway so

should I?

[dapper dust]

I keep seeing people using "The Idol" in runs - how on earth do you use it for anything? It's so very specific for when it gives the x2

[torn cliff]

Deck fixing. It picks a random card from YOUR deck. So if your deck is comprised mostly of one card, it’ll mostly give the bonus to that card.

[dapper dust]

okay, I see

so only really good very late game

even then - x2 is not that great

[solemn elm]

2x per scored card

[dapper dust]

oh! I see

yeh, that's good

[solemn elm]

its decent one its set-up

thats just usually way too late for it to matter, at least for just unlocks and progression and stuff

if you enjoy going into endless though its something to be aware of

[torn cliff]

I feel like the commitment level required to use it well isn’t really proportionate with how much it gives. It’s good, but not great

[solemn elm]

it being deck dependent also applies to Castle and Mail-In Rebate

Ancient Joker doesnt care what you have though.

[dapper wing]

ERRATIC GOLD STAKE LETS GOOOOOOO

THROWBACK IS MY GOAT

[dapper dust]

nice

gz

Spare Trousers is my goat I think

[pallid sapphire]

question for all: what joker's your goat?

[dapper dust]

I mean - Trib, but excluding things that only come up once in a blue moon - spare trousers is the old faithful to building an early run for me

[dreamy pier]

Baseball card never betrays me

[dapper wing]

if no one got me ik throwback got me can i get an amen

[dapper dust]

throwback is a good choice - though harder to make work on harder blinds

[pallid sapphire]

my pick is burnt joker

[tardy cloud]

"Take your protein pills and put your helmet on."

[dapper dust]

that said, I did beat speedrunner with throwback and two brainstorms on orange

[frail stirrup]

pantsmaxxing rn

[pallid sapphire]

throwback is really good, it just shouldn't be used as a crutch

[distant eagle]

https://tenor.com/view/pants-gif-funny-meme-gif-18969447

spare trousers be like

[pallid sapphire]

I have lingering trauma from the various two pairs of shame I had to play when I had nothing left, so two pairs leave a bad taste for me

[solemn elm]

it really isnt

throwback is one of the worst xmults in the game

[dapper wing]

You take that back.

[pallid sapphire]

You don't have to skip straight to the end

[solemn elm]

skipping is generally bad. throwback rewards you for doing something you shouldn't be doing, and its not a good enough reward.

[dapper wing]

skipping occasionally until you can get to 3X or smth isn’t gonna break your leg

[solemn elm]

skipping EIGHT ROUNDS!? are you insane 😭

[tacit igloo]

Is this daily compounded interest

[solemn elm]

thats 8 missed shops, 8 less rounds of econ

[dapper wing]

that’s what i did and i won

[rigid charm]

Throwback mult is okayish for early stakes
Later stakes the mult is lame

[pallid sapphire]

So? if you can win that's good enough lmao

[solemn elm]

right but BU also won gold stake black deck jokerless

[dapper wing]

because I am the John ballathrow

[solemn elm]

doesnt mean you should do that lol

[pallid sapphire]

Okay but if you're determined to play meta, are you really having fun in balatro

[dapper wing]

I am the protagonist

[solemn elm]

yes

because winning is fun for me

[dapper wing]

balatro university is my mentor and uhhhh he told me to use throwback

he told me to follow my dreams

I am following my dreams.

[pallid sapphire]

playing pair every single time moment

[solemn elm]

the meta is to play what your run pushes you into running

[dapper wing]

death to all half joker users

[solemn elm]

theres no single strategy which wins every time lol

[solemn elm]

also theres a difference between having fun, and saying something is good when it just isnt

i joined the conversation because you said that throwback is "really good".

[pallid sapphire]

play what your run pushes you into

[dapper wing]

imagine if throwback gave .5x per skipped blind

[pallid sapphire]

What if your run pushes you into throwback?

[dapper wing]

I’d be the happiest man alive

[solemn elm]

then thats a niche where throwback is decent, but it is an incredibly rare niche

[dapper wing]

and therefore a situation that proves it has a niche tho right

[solemn elm]

i never said "dont take throwback" lol i just said that it generally isnt good

[solemn elm]

never said it didnt

but seance has a niche, loyalty card has a niche, flower pot has a niche

but they are not, generally, good jokers

[pallid sapphire]

Okay fine, I'll concede that a blanket statement "throwback is really good" isn't true all the time

But comparing it to loyalty card and seance is just low

[dapper wing]

we should get localthunk to buff throwback not going to lie..

[solemn elm]

nah

the way you buff throwback is by making skips less shit

not by making throwback directly stronger

[rigid charm]

Ok make it x0.3

[dapper wing]

true!!

[agile pawn]

getting a gold sticker on throwback was kinda pain for me

[frail stirrup]

it's ante 8, im barely getting there, do i replace clever joker with hologram? i can only add one card rn

112 chips from square joker + 50 chips from fibonacci holo

[dapper wing]

did you barely pass by the last blind or were you safe by a comfortable margin

Cuz I don’t think a x1.25 is gonna do much

[frail stirrup]

like barely but i had one hand left

i think im cooked

[austere otter]

WE FINALLY DID IT LETSGOO

[frail stirrup]

but is 1.25x better than 80 chips? from clever joker?

[dapper wing]

depends on your mult scoring

[frail stirrup]

66 from trousers

[dapper wing]

y’now what it’s fucking clever joker just get hologram you’ll probably be fine

[frail stirrup]

lmfao

don't speak on the goat like that it saved my ass

ok

i misclicked and sold square joker

[frail stirrup]

and i bought hologram but i didn't have the money for the card

so its just useless

BUT I BOUGHT ICE CREAM AND IT FUCKING SAVED ME

[dapper wing]

is your next blind the boss

nvm

[frail stirrup]

im literally so ass at this game i don't deserve the win

[mint terrace]

ok i definitely didn't expect brainstorm there although it makes sense but chad is 100% my goat i always get it even when it doesn't make any sense at all 💪

[frail stirrup]

i havent even touched this deck it's not real

[grizzled socket]

isnt that deck just free wins

[pallid sapphire]

Yep

[mint terrace]

not really but ok

[grizzled socket]

i dont have it

but from what ive seen

you can just play a high card with no jokers and get 20k

[pallid sapphire]

It's kind of more braindead in the sense you just go all in for chips at least for ante 8 runs

unless crimson heart figures out which ones are your chip jokers and keeps nuking those

[quaint stream]

@dapper wing why are you here

[rigid charm]

This deck is just chips until purple stake where you need industrial amount of chips or xmult

[dark osprey]

once you understand plasma it's free wins yeah but it plays differently

[leaden fern]

It’s my birthday today

[dark osprey]

pretty much this but you have insane earlygame eco to make it happen

[quaint stream]

One less year of living

[dapper wing]

I don’t know you

[rigid charm]

Kinda but at purple+stake is one of the worst to play with

[grizzled socket]

one more year of being alive!!

[quaint stream]

Sure

[leaden fern]

Gee thanks 😒

[quaint stream]

Lmao

[dark osprey]

when you're trying to scrape by earlygame +100 chips is better than +50 mult on a normal deck so you can be super super greedy, then you get insane chips or twice as much xmult as a normal deck to win

[rigid charm]

Yeah
But that doesnt always happens

[pallid sapphire]

barely made it past plasma purple yesterday cause crimson heart only killed my bull once

[dark osprey]

I got wee joker first try of my gold stake plasma run so I may be biased

free win

[rigid charm]

Yeah wee is the industrial amount of chips part

[dark osprey]

it can't fail once you scale it either

you can draw air at the worst time and it'll still give the chips

[weary ermine]

Damn, lv 44?

Which ante you on

[tranquil ferry]

Finally got the no reroll achievement

[sharp shell]

13

[weary ermine]

Ok

[sharp shell]

i have blue print burnt joker

and also brainstorm hanging chad

which is copied 3 times

with photograph

[elfin vapor]

I got naneinf on a run that had a wild start. Was hoping to grab the seed after dying in ante 32 but am getting this screen… is the seed lost?

What the guck

I just got edged from a flush

3 discards

4 hands

No flush

Only 4 cards

[final delta]

diabolical sentence 😭

[carmine river]

I am genuinely fucking cursed

I have gotten nothing but Negative Cartomancers for the past few days

[red hamlet]

did they cut your water as you pressed teh button or what

[final delta]

balatro rng for ya

[carmine river]

And when I physically can't get Negative Cartomancer

They target my beloved flushes

[final delta]

balatro is awfully mean today I noticed

[slim junco]

balatro and friends 5 leak is nuts right now

[carmine river]

Like that can't be real bro

[final delta]

I kept getting the worst rng

[undone tiger]

Once i had merry andy and couldn't draw a 4oak

on erratic deck 💀

[carmine river]

My RNG's been garbage for a long long time now

[final delta]

😭😭😭

[carmine river]

That's not even the worst part

I needed like

1 last card before my first ever win on Balatro

I needed to draw just 1 more card

So I discarded about 20 cards out of a 40 card deck

[final delta]

wait tbis happened on a8 boss?

[carmine river]

Fyi I had 6 copies of said card.

I lost

Didn't get it

[carmine river]

Nah this was a long time ago

[final delta]

batatro is a crul game sometimes

[carmine river]

But I should've taken that sign bro

I do NOT have good luck

Not at all

[final delta]

yesterday I had a run go to ante 13 then today I can't even get pasted ante 5

[carmine river]

6 glass card breaks in a row

[final delta]

😭😭😭

[carmine river]

This is so very hilarious

Looks like the joke was on me

[final delta]

dw yesterday I was playing green deck and took to the moon.

and seeded money.

I wasn't focused at all apparently

[carmine river]

That's not even an RNG issue that's just a skill issue

Skill issue smhhhhh

[prime glen]

I would take the base +4 joker over you

[final delta]

look in my defense

it was 5am

[carmine river]

I'm gonna go cry to my husband and probably dry him into jerky again

[final delta]

and I was very tired

[red hamlet]

average white stake player opinion

[final delta]

hate that fucking joker sm

[carmine river]

Oh boy a rare tag!!! I sure do wish for a Blueprint or Brainstorm or Baron or literally anything that isn't Obelisk!!!!
Obelisk:

[final delta]

and to make it worst a poly obelisk

[carmine river]

💔

[red hamlet]

do y'all literallyo nly play checkered deck flushes

cause the way y'all talk about jokers not for flushes only makes me question if y'all even play any other decks

[solemn elm]

praying for baron over obelisk is crazy lol

you're a nanlet if that's the case

or very very naive

[final delta]

I never play checkered deck

I don't like it

[red hamlet]

then you should probably pickup obelisk and consider playing with it

especialyl a poly chrome one

[final delta]

I just have a obsession of spamming high cards 💔

[red hamlet]

you literally just dump high cards until you're at 20 which only takes like 5 rounds most
and then switch to pair, two pair or any other hand

finish antes with full houses and flushes before obelisk is fully setup

and obelisk will carry your ass till the end of time (ante 8 boss)

[final delta]

okay yeah imma try that

thank you for ur wisdom

[solemn elm]

you don't play high cards

[red hamlet]

yeah i do

[solemn elm]

you go pairs or higher

you can be forced to play high card

you can be forced to play other hands, but only in incredibly niche scenarios

[red hamlet]

not me, i'm built diffy 🗿

[solemn elm]

ok white stake gamer

[red hamlet]

built wrong

my obelisk purple stickered

😔 i never get it on gold stakes that go well

🗿

[final delta]

is gold stake actually as hard as people say

[red hamlet]

no lmfao

[final delta]

bc to me it seems like whitestake just with rentable jokers

and eternal

and perishable

[prime glen]

I hate that joker

[red hamlet]

this is the 4th time 8basll shows up

go away

[final delta]

chat what's ur least favourite and most favourite jokers

[solemn elm]

and also 4x score needed...

[final delta]

OH WHAT?!

[solemn elm]

yeah.

[solemn elm]

not just white stake with stickers lol

[red hamlet]

higher scaling specifically

[solemn elm]

yeah, it's just that at ante 8 it's a 4x to score needed

[final delta]

well then
