[left glade]

blackboard can be good because my high card is lvl 5

[languid kiln]

you will got no +mult, but idk idk

+4 mult

[slim junco]

Ancient joker is good tho

[left glade]

but is a high card run

[slim junco]

Oh

[languid kiln]

oh

[slim junco]

It is?

[languid kiln]

then idk

[raw fractal]

High card is so goated

[slim junco]

Yeah I’d prob keep?

[raw fractal]

Best hand in the game

[slim junco]

Ive never tried high card

[raw fractal]

You should, I just had a amazing trib run with it

[slim junco]

The issue is

[left glade]

In really, i can transform this in a flush run

[slim junco]

I don’t get cards and lvls for high card

[left glade]

because checkred card

[raw fractal]

Flush runs are def not a terrible way to go

[left glade]

i can sell the pirate joker too

to buy the blackboard

[raw fractal]

Egg swashbuckler is such a goated combo

But flash card still has my heart

[slim junco]

If only I good get that type of gameplay

[left glade]

but the blackboard is broken with checkred card

[languid kiln]

Flushes in this game is love of my life

[left glade]

3x multi

[raw fractal]

Oh I’m not even close to being good

[slim junco]

Maybe I’ll try high card sometime

[raw fractal]

My friends gave me advice

[languid kiln]

I agree.

[left glade]

i sell the pirate joker

[raw fractal]

You just gotta play flush before high card

[raw fractal]

Then level up high card enough to play it

It’s not too difficult

[slim junco]

Time to go checkered deck

[languid kiln]

I'll try, thanks.

[slim junco]

Still on purple stake

[raw fractal]

No problem!!

Obviously you need the right jokers as well

Bc if you have a ton of suit ones you won’t get much chip or mult

[left glade]

I regretted it

[left glade]

HE IS BACK

[raw fractal]

AND ETERNAL 😩

Now just need negative egg

[slim junco]

ofc i get grabber on the first ante

when i cant buy it

[raw fractal]

Get buffoon and hope for the credit card

[slim junco]

no buffon packs

[raw fractal]

I love credit card went from my least fav joker to top tier for me

[raw fractal]

On the first round??

Damn unlucky

[slim junco]

got hanging chad

[raw fractal]

Hell yeah

What kind of build are ya trying to do

[slim junco]

i dont build

whatever makes it to ante 8

[raw fractal]

Oh so you just play whatever hand?

[left glade]

I lost for the arm...

[slim junco]

yes

well

i go flush

[raw fractal]

I’d def try to do builds more it helps a lot

[slim junco]

prob

[raw fractal]

Going in without a strategy screws you over eventually

[slim junco]

ride the bus alr

gros michel is gone

[raw fractal]

That’s good bc you can get cavendish later

[slim junco]

i dont think i make it that far

[raw fractal]

What jokers do you have rn

[slim junco]

i lost

[raw fractal]

Rip 😔

[edgy blade]

Bruh🔥

[edgy blade]

"Choose 1"😭

[slim junco]

omg niko

ante 3 and no jokers

[left glade]

its can be good

[slim junco]

is might be the build

[half nest]

she flush on my flush till I

now THIS is a real build

[pastel kite]

Does your blue print act like a cat as well?

[left glade]

THE PURPLE STAKE IS SO HARD

[lavish marsh]

Could have gotten my first red stake win if stupid freaking violet vessal would hit on one of my 2/6 basically useless jokers (I re rolled it 4 times)

[half nest]

yeah. cat gives x1 mult if played hand contains high card

[slim junco]

🤭

[blissful canyon]

Omg chicot hiiiiu

[slim junco]

Hello!

[stray spire]

"we're gonna win so much, you'll be tired of winning"

[half nest]

Gold stake naneinf

[slim junco]

yo chicot

[half nest]

That is a feat

gz 👏

[stray spire]

ty 🗣️

unfortunately i still can't do it without crimson bean exploit

[raw fractal]

Mime Baron serpent goes crazy

Was that with the extra hand tags

[half nest]

Hey if it's in the game it's a mechanic right

[stray spire]

nah

[left glade]

why photochad appears ALL THE TIME for me

[stray spire]

exactly

[raw fractal]

Niceee

[stray spire]

you're so good that as soon as you think about the combo you want the game gives it to you

[slim junco]

Hi!

[stray spire]

you can will the cards into existence now

[slim junco]

where are you I need you

[half nest]

omg is that the Chicot

hi i'm a fan

[slim junco]

😘

[left glade]

balatro love me

[half nest]

❤️

[left glade]

ancient joker can be good

but i'm playing with checkred deck

😭

i get this campfire??

[half nest]

Do you need more xmult?

[left glade]

i'm having the photochad ballot ancient joker and drivers license

i think no

[half nest]

Not on checkered you're not

unless you go wild on wild cards

I'd grab an econ joker

[left glade]

i sell the ancient joker and get the campfire?

[full glen]

rate my jokers🗣 (made it to ante 12)

[left glade]

or i sell the egg

[full glen]

egg

[cobalt falcon]

What's the best flush jokers build guys?

[slim junco]

no jokers all planets

[neon wren]

flush 5/house

[unreal aurora]

Unpopular opinion but I dislike steel cards

They always trigger before my mult jokers because of how they work, and whenever they exist in my deck I feel psychologically repelled from playing them, which kinda gimps the hands I end up playing

I know they are the key to naneinf but in any other use case they just seem extremely meh

[neon wren]

2 steel is better than glass and don't break

[mighty flax]

i disagree

[unreal aurora]

Not really cuz you can control when a glass card procs, not a steel card

[stray spire]

this is pretty true
if you want your steel cards to be viable, you have to ensure much of the scoring comes from triggering cards in your hand

[hidden dragon]

or from blue seals

which is one of the strongest way to scale

planets generally

[slim junco]

love it when blueprint is in the first shop

[brisk zinc]

steel cards are nice with mime

[left glade]

ancient joker

the tribes

[unreal aurora]

That's fair I must just be too shit at the game to make them useful

[brisk zinc]

ancient joker is great for flushes

especially if you have any retrigger

tribe is nice too but just x2 won't get you that far really

[neon wren]

ya 2 retriggers/copier is like 400 mult. it's enough and pretty easy to do, just watch the bosses

[left glade]

the problem of ancient joker is the best deck for flush

the best deck for flush is checkred

[stray spire]

basically if you rely one flat mult card to kickstart your xmult chain (say, abstract joker) and have non-hand-card-trigger xmult (perhaps constellation, hologram, and throwback) then your steel cards will go off before your flat mult gives you what you need, meaning they don't do much

[left glade]

ancient joker its not very good

with checkred

[sharp citrus]

Hi

[cobalt falcon]

I played earlier:

• Smeared
• Baskin
• Paraedolia
• Blueprint
• Ancient

Was a massacre

[neon wren]

yep that's more than enough

[stray spire]

blueprint and ancient lead to a free win

every time i've gotten that combo i've always done well

[cobalt falcon]

Yeah is an unbeatable combo for winning any stake

[stray spire]

by the way the gold stake nan run is about to die
what could i possibly do to top this

[sharp citrus]

Diavlo

[cobalt falcon]

If you find plant just sell Paraedolia and you are fine

[left glade]

god, today i need a triboulet to be happy

[near yew]

guys what happened to the jmbo tag

:(

[analog tundra]

hi

[slim junco]

It got replaced

Multi

[slim junco]

HaiHai

[near yew]

im sad now

😢

[slim junco]

It’s Balatrover

[left glade]

its worth?

[slim junco]

Big money

[left glade]

but eternal

[slim junco]

What ante are you on?

And what jokers do you have

[left glade]

Ante 1

no jokers

[slim junco]

I’d almost buy

Just cu

Cuz

[brisk zinc]

big money for the rest of the run

[slim junco]

Yeah buy

[keen swift]

lavalamps are cool

[left glade]

It doesn't make sense the shoot the moon is common

[round carbon]

i have gotten to the last level like 4 times in ante 8 idk how to go past that

[left glade]

I HATE THIS GAME

what's the difficulty of giving me a ONLY face card hearts?

[crimson kettle]

+15 mult

[left glade]

i hate gros michel because he never is extinct of my hand 😭

i need cavendish

no gros michel

[spring sphinx]

Oh my god i cant fricking win on the green deck im so bad

[brisk zinc]

i once had a michel live for 7 antes

[spring sphinx]

Chicot my beloved

[fierce rain]

Hey fellas, I’m about to graduate high school and it’s time to decorate my grad cap. I want to do something with balatro, does anyone have any ideas?

[brisk zinc]

put jimbo on it

[brisk zinc]

chicot is overhated

[spring sphinx]

Chicot is unarguably the best legendary

[brisk zinc]

on 9 out of 10 runs i'd rather get chicot over perkeo

[spring sphinx]

I almost lost because my perkeo was taking space from another joker i had to discard her

[haughty cedar]

Why is the servers guild tag mult

[spring sphinx]

Perkeo overrated booooooo

[haughty cedar]

Its discriminating against chip builds

[brisk zinc]

perkeo is amazing in like some rare occasions

[spring sphinx]

Long live chicot

[brisk zinc]

like if you have bp/bs and cryptid

that's where perkeo shines

[spring sphinx]

And other jokers probably dont suck eh idk dont care enough

[slim junco]

yo how did you do that

[spring sphinx]

Chicot my beloved

[slim junco]

no legendaries ante 39?

[stray spire]

yes

[brisk zinc]

i got canio today and i pivoted for glass face cards so it was pretty nice scaling

[slim junco]

thats kinda sick

[stray spire]

crimson bean exploit + burglar/serpent

[slim junco]

oh crimson bean okay

[stray spire]

i had a base hand size of ~40 cards
my final hand could have as many as 78

[spring sphinx]

Yorick probably doesn’t suck but i can think of 37 cards better than yorick

Triboulet is ok good but boss blind:

[slim junco]

I guess the alternative is lucking into natural negatives/ getting an insane negative tag skip

[brisk zinc]

yorick is super easy to scale passively

free xmult for just playing the game

top 3 legendaries in my opinion

tho there are only 5 so top 3 isn't huge lol

[tardy pagoda]

Banda, que jokers recomiendan?

[spring sphinx]

Okay canio is very good
Canio and chicot my beloved

[tardy pagoda]

ok, mil gracias

(Ok, thank u)

[brisk zinc]

canio is great and pareidolia makes him ever better

[spring sphinx]

Perkeo hate

I hate Perkeo

[brisk zinc]

perkeo with bs/bp can give a ton of deaths and other things that help with deckfixing

[spring sphinx]

@prisma sparrow are the other legendaries your brothers and sisters or are yall in like a polycule

[brisk zinc]

it's situational but sometimes rly good

tho i'm usually disappointed if i get perkeo from a soul

[spring sphinx]

Long live canio and chicot the two best legendaries

[brisk zinc]

i personally like canio and trib but chicot is very good too

[left glade]

i dont like chicot

[spring sphinx]

Yorick is ok good once again but you beed to have him early game

[spring sphinx]

HOW DARE YOU

[brisk zinc]

a negative chicot is crazy

[left glade]

chicot needs u have a good build

[brisk zinc]

no boss blinds with no downsides

[left glade]

yorick and pareidolia

and immolatte

[spring sphinx]

Canio and pareidolia huh

[left glade]

oh

[broken depot]

Yeah yorick is any discarded cards

[spring sphinx]

Long live canio and chicot

[broken depot]

Not just faces

[left glade]

I confused canio and yorick

[spring sphinx]

I think you meant triboulet

[left glade]

i meant canio, i confused the names of canio and yorick

[spring sphinx]

Canio and chicot are the best legs

[left glade]

i never used yorick

when i got it i lose

[brisk zinc]

i'm a huge fan of the historical accuracy in balatro

every legendary is based on an irl court jester

[spring sphinx]

I NEED TO KNOW are they all brothers and sisters or are they a polycule

[left glade]

my best hand was with double triboulet and blueprint

[brisk zinc]

they had no relation irl

[brisk zinc]

huge

my best is barely e12

[left glade]

blueprint and brainstorm is the best jokers of balatro

[brisk zinc]

they're in a lesbian relationship

[left glade]

I HATE THE FLINT

[spring sphinx]

Boooo

All legendaries are bi and in a relationship

Thats my theory

[brisk zinc]

that can be true but the irl equivalent weren't

probably didn't even live in the same decade

[left glade]

thanks for appears for the 10 time today!!

[haughty cedar]

Te te te te te teto

[left glade]

i love u photograph

[brisk zinc]

his eyes are red because traditional flash photos turn peoples' eyes red in pics

the jokers in this game are insanely detailed

[left glade]

what

[brisk zinc]

what what

have you ever had your picture taken with an old camera

[left glade]

the balatros devs are the best people in this world

[solemn elm]

it turns red because the light hits the back of your eye, which is red, and gets reflected back into the camera

[brisk zinc]

the balatro dev* (just one)

[left glade]

balatro is my goty 2024

[brisk zinc]

actually the art is made by multiple ppl

[solemn elm]

theres still only one dev though

[brisk zinc]

yes

[sonic field]

trying to get 400 in 1 run and i get 2 souls 1 trib 1 canio lol

[brisk zinc]

just one guy thunking it

[spring sphinx]

I love balatro i love balatro

Best 10 bucks spent

[brisk zinc]

i got the $400 achievement on anaglyph deck; i just waited for a money tag

probably the easiest way

[spring sphinx]

But my god im shit

[solemn elm]

most people are, DW about it

[sonic field]

I wanted to do that but i just went with green deck lol

[brisk zinc]

fair

[left glade]

its a good combo or no?

[spring sphinx]

When do i start getting past 8 ante’s on almost any (random) run

[twin schooner]

Look at my record

[spring sphinx]

Like when do i get good

[twin schooner]

Im so proud

[solemn elm]

endless isn't exactly the main skill of the game, so don't use that as a metric (imo)

very few strategies make it far in endless

[spring sphinx]

No i mean when do i win almost every time

[left glade]

I only lose in the ante 14

BECAUSE THE PLANT EXIST

[twin schooner]

Just go flushes ez

[solemn elm]

After a long time. Balatro has a very shallow skill curve.

[spring sphinx]

I literally cant get past ante 9 or something thats my record

[twin schooner]

You need:

[solemn elm]

there aren't any "eureka" moments where you just get WAY better all of a sudden because of one or two skills or whatever, you just gradually get better over time

[spring sphinx]

I feel like im doing something wrong bc i aint getting past middle/end game

[flint jetty]

🥹

[solemn elm]

you probably are, but that's something you'll figure out naturally unless it's bothering you enough to seek it out. If you want a guide, watch Balatro Basics by Balatro University

[spring sphinx]

LIKE WHAT i can barely pass my 7th ante

[twin schooner]

Dont feel bad

[solemn elm]

that's a baron mime build for ya

[left glade]

i'm excited

[spring sphinx]

Good idea
I learnt a coupla things you tell me whats right/wrong
-planet cards are shit
-keep as much money as possible
-get tarot cards when possible
-don’t permanently remove any cards from deck
-credit card sucks

[olive ferry]

nou

[solemn elm]

is this bait /genq

[olive ferry]

theres a lot of wrong in that

[slim junco]

Yall ain’t get to ante 66 tho

[solemn elm]

planet cards are VERY good
spend money down to interest cap, typically
tarots are situational, but valuable nonetheless
you almost always want to remove cards from deck
credit card is mostly bad, but it's situationally useful (it's only $1 so...)

[spring sphinx]

Genuinely not lmao im bad at this game

[slim junco]

My goat Gat

[spring sphinx]

CHICOT my beloved

[left glade]

i missclicked ankh...

[slim junco]

🤭

[slim junco]

lol

[olive ferry]

this is really funny

[spring sphinx]

Whats interest cap
Why are planet cards suddenly good like isnt it a waste of moula

[olive ferry]

planet cards = bigger base chip and mult

u wouldnt wanna stack xMult when your base mult is 2 xd

[spring sphinx]

Anyways people ill have to go now and sleep
I hate timezones

[olive ferry]

goodnight

it is 5am here and ive been awake since 9pm

[solemn elm]

you gain $1 for every $5 you have, and the cap (at base) is $25 in your balance for $5 a round

planets give you base Mult and Chips, which means you don't need to rely so much on jokers for +Mult and +Chips

[spring sphinx]

I always have some sort of + mult of course before any xmult
I realised the Xray? Joker is really good with the red joker

[spring sphinx]

Ooh ok ok

[olive ferry]

yeah but like lilo said u wont need to rely on jokers as much

also there are yummy jokers that feed on yummy planets

😋

[left glade]

vampire can be good?

[olive ferry]

supre good

when paired with midas that is

[left glade]

its worth?

[patent gale]

#WEWANTJIMBOTAG
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1382588293341905026

[olive ferry]

if u keep adding cards to ur deck, yea

[left glade]

it can be good

[slim junco]

JOKR tag

[hollow hamlet]

damm

[patent gale]

JMBO > JOKR > JKER

[olive ferry]

xMLT

[slim junco]

Yall ain’t never got to ante 66 before

[sand bone]

Mr bones glitch

[slim junco]

Yeah

[twin schooner]

This made my day

[slim junco]

[sand bone]

Is this the most cursed gold stake winning joker line up ?

[twin schooner]

F YOU CHICOT I WANTED PERKEO

[twin schooner]

Eternal AND rental riff raff? Seriously?

[sand bone]

I did it just to get scholar

[languid kiln]

so coooooooooool

[sand bone]

And it gave me negative square

[lavish marsh]

Why is this actually a hard choice lol

[sand bone]

(It was an ace build on erratic deck lmao)

[sand bone]

Do shoot the moon

[lavish marsh]

K

[sand bone]

We have enough hanging Chad

[sonic field]

gros michal went extint on the final boss blind lol

ante 8

i had it from ante 1

[edgy blade]

I have a New record🎉

[brisk zinc]

how does anyone play with anything below 4x speed

[slim junco]

Alright what are we picking pookies

[left glade]

stuntman have my heart

now i need vampire and midas touch

[brisk zinc]

vampire midas is a fun combo

[left glade]

and with pareidolia

is the best combo

NOOO

[languid kiln]

That hurts, i guess

[left glade]

NOOOOOOO

[languid kiln]

...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[left glade]

objection 🔥

[cloud osprey]

I am on this run right now

[autumn lynx]

Why is wheel of fortune in the jokerless challenge deck😭

[left glade]

have temperance in the jokerless too

[autumn lynx]

And they banned judgment

It's wierd

[hard gyro]

B

[left glade]

this challenge is pure pain

[hard gyro]

It's rubbing it in lol

[autumn lynx]

It wouldn't do anything anyway lol

[cloud osprey]

Getting a temperance on the jokerless challenge is a punch in the gut

It's my favourite tarot

[left glade]

eternal diet cola 🔥

[autumn lynx]

With rental

[left glade]

card sharp is the best 3x multi joker

[tranquil oak]

Do you guys think Lovers would be too strong if it made 2 cards wild cards instead of just 1?

[tranquil oak]

Cavendish is

Card Sharp close 2nd

[left glade]

Card sharp is most easy to get

[slim junco]

blackboard is pretty useful too

[tranquil oak]

Yes, but Cavendish is unconditional 3x mult

All the other 3x mults have a requirement for activation

[left glade]

I don't know what I'm doing

[prisma sparrow]

i like feet

[tranquil oak]

Plus Riff Raff can spawn both Gros Michele and Cavendish

[languid kiln]

i got DNA on 1st ante... idk lol

[slim junco]

wheres your mult

[left glade]

in my flush lvl 4

😎

[slim junco]

not bad

[tranquil oak]

Bull low key feels like the strongest chip joker on lower stakes

[left glade]

and in this

[slim junco]

hope you're not playing that

[glad oriole]

wee

[tranquil oak]

I do enjoy Wee too but it’s easier to just rack up money than play 2s

[slim junco]

^^

[tranquil oak]

Plus you need some kind of retrigger setup to maximize Wee scaling

[glad oriole]

yea but money is also something you need to spend to survive

[tranquil oak]

Either Hack or Pareidolia+Sock

Or Seltzer

[glad oriole]

wee can scale wayy faster with retriggers too

[left glade]

THE FISH

[glad oriole]

and uts really not hard to get a lot of twos on lower stakes

[left glade]

I HATE YOU

[tranquil oak]

I had a run yesterday where I had $750 so Bull was giving me +1500 chips

[left glade]

YOU MADE ME LOSE

[tranquil oak]

I had 3 econ jokers

[glad oriole]

lucky

[left glade]

DIE THE FISH

[glad oriole]

with wee those slots could’ve been used more practically

[tranquil oak]

To The Moon, Satellite and Cloud 9

[glad oriole]

like idk

[tranquil oak]

Was getting about $50 per blind

[glad oriole]

maybe fibo or something

[left glade]

blackboard or sock and busin?

buskin

[glad oriole]

how early is it

[left glade]

Ante 1

[tranquil oak]

Do you have a Smeared Joker?

[glad oriole]

blackboard

[glad oriole]

smeared joker does not interact with blackboard in any way

[left glade]

no, but i playing in checkred

[daring dagger]

Smeared joker makes clubs and spades count as the same thing, so there wouldn't be any change

[glad oriole]

blackboard’s very strong

[tranquil oak]

Ah, yee, I forgot it’s both spades and clubs, was thinking of Seeing Double

[glad oriole]

seeing double doesnt really need smeared either

but ok

[left glade]

i dont like seeing double

i only play with flush..

[glad oriole]

its very good

[glad oriole]

noob

soz

[tranquil oak]

It does make it more consistent cus you can play a spade instead of a club and still get the bonus

[glad oriole]

seeing double is wonderful with anything but flush

[slim junco]

seeing double still works with flushes

[left glade]

I have few hours

in balatro

[glad oriole]

that is what noob means

[slim junco]

its still a decent way to get a x2

[left glade]

just 48,4h

[glad oriole]

:p

[left glade]

so its normal

[glad oriole]

if you have smeared or wilds sure

[solemn elm]

you gain $1 for every $5 you have, and the cap (at base) is $25 in your balance for $5 a round

planets give you base Mult and Chips, which means you don't need to rely so much on jokers for +Mult and +Chips

[languid kiln]

it looks so strange xD

[glad oriole]

planets are like mini negative jokers that allow you to focus more on xmult

xmult jokers

[slim junco]

you can play a clubs flush with one wild card of any other suit, thats not too hard to do

[glad oriole]

it isnt

the problem is that flushes arent very good

scaling wise

[left glade]

this combo in ante 3

[glad oriole]

also if ur playing a wild it can be any flush to activate seeing double

[slim junco]

its fine

[glad oriole]

showman isnt needed here

[left glade]

showman its good because this

[glad oriole]

1 more mult than mercury for a 5 card hand

plus you need wilds

[glad oriole]

lucky duck.

showman usually isnt good at all

[left glade]

i like showman

[glad oriole]

but it has highroll potential so people love it anyway

[edgy blade]

Gg

[left glade]

the seeded runs counts for the best hand in status?

stats

[glad oriole]

probably not

but they do count for the run

this is the game over screen not the stats

[wintry patrol]

the chance of getting a hit on showman for an uncommon is 0.4% 💔
that’s almost as rare as a wheel of fortune hit

[left glade]

i sell showman?

[glad oriole]

yea

[slim junco]

what were you trying to do with showman?

[left glade]

nothing

i just liked it

he

[glad oriole]

sell

sell showman

kill

murder

[slim junco]

okay then you answered your question

[wintry patrol]

i would’ve sold showman if the only joker in the shop was chaos the clown 💔

[glad oriole]

yea

[wintry patrol]

actually i would’ve sold showman even if there was no joker to replace it tbf

[glad oriole]

i would’ve sold showman if there were no jokers in the shop

[left glade]

thanks invisible joker

[slim junco]

thats a x2

instead of x3

purple stake is pain

slightly worse than a x2

[left glade]

i think i lose

is the needle

and i have no discarts more

[slim junco]

flush?

oh wait

sucks

no blackboard

[left glade]

i lose 😭

[slim junco]

how actively were you trying to make spades and remove hearts?

[left glade]

i don't know how to manipulate the deck

[slim junco]

tarot cards

open all booster packs

[left glade]

purple stake is so hard

[slim junco]

which one is that

[slim junco]

i hate it

[wintry patrol]

second scaling increase

[slim junco]

ups the scaling even more

isnt that just a x2 difference?

one glass card

depending on your build ofc

[naive kestrel]

I'm hardstuck on purple stake black deck

Bruh

[left glade]

i'm on purple stake in the checkered deck

[slim junco]

same

[naive kestrel]

Brasileiro

[slim junco]

we twin

[left glade]

i will try in the ghost deck

[wintry patrol]

this doesn’t do much if your +mult is from jokers which is…a lot of the time

glass cards, i mean

[left glade]

in the ghost deck i stuck on black stake 😭

[wintry patrol]

like they’re really good sometimes but not always

[left glade]

i sell hex to buy dna?

[wintry patrol]

absolutely not

[naive kestrel]

Not really worth

[slim junco]

no

[naive kestrel]

U don't have a single good card to copy rn

I'm guessing

[left glade]

ante 1

[wintry patrol]

selling hex is dividing your score by 1.5 for a speculative pick

selling hex is almost never the right decision in ghost

[naive kestrel]

Only if you took an standart skip first blind 😼

[slim junco]

buying jokers then i forget i have madness

[wintry patrol]

honestly i would buy the flush mult joker and hex it here

[scenic flame]

https://youtu.be/P4Le9M6AxRE?si=Un6FIxK027cicUEu This is how I found out about Balatro.

[naive kestrel]

Almost on my 7th gold stake

Yipee

[slim junco]

photo in first shop

[naive kestrel]

looks inside

[slim junco]

we do lose out on telescope tho

[naive kestrel]

Bruh

[wintry patrol]

nothing to be excited about photo is mid without chad 💔

[naive kestrel]

I'm actively trying to beat gold stake black deck, then I get the worst out of the way

My top three worse decks are black, erratic and plasma

The rest is fine

[wintry patrol]

i left black deck as my last gold stake because i don’t want to play the game and not have fun

[naive kestrel]

It's like pushing a cart up the hill

I'll beat it

Then I'll have fun

[wintry patrol]

for me it’s black and nebula

[naive kestrel]

Whut ur fave deck?

[wintry patrol]

and probably plasma

ghost

ghost 100%

[slim junco]

no joker run goes crazy

[naive kestrel]

Oh

Nice

[slim junco]

yeah i lose at flint\

[naive kestrel]

I like painted, probably

[wintry patrol]

the starting hex makes meh jokers usable for way longer and also the in shop spectrals can just be really good

i even take grim sometimes to build into 4oak aces

[naive kestrel]

It's a good point

Makes deckfixing easier in a way

I just can't resist to take a 20 dolla wraith

[slim junco]

anything but royal flush

[naive kestrel]

I love gambling

That's why I didn't get gold ghost yet

[wintry patrol]

wraith is so bad most of the time 💔

it’s funny when you’re low on money or in debt though

[naive kestrel]

Yeah, but gambling tho 🤑

[wintry patrol]

wraith giving you money is always such an awesome feeling

[naive kestrel]

Positive wraith is the absolute best

Like positive ox

[left glade]

every time i get wraith waiting for a blueprint

and get a obelisk

i hate obelisk

[naive kestrel]

I am acoustic to play towards obelisk

It isn't a bad joker

I just can't

[slim junco]

Obelisk is just so bad minus a few build. I think

Unless you get like

Black hole a lot

[ember root]

You really don't need Black Hole

[slim junco]

I mean

[ember root]

You can't always run it but if you have a Chips and a Mult Joker you're set

[slim junco]

True

[left glade]

i like chaos the clown

[naive kestrel]

Bruh

[ember root]

Hey Checkered Deck is chill

[slim junco]

I just can’t think of a time when you wouldn’t wanna take it

[naive kestrel]

I mean

Let's get straight flushin

[slim junco]

Mmmm straight flush

[wintry patrol]

genuinely the issue is just the player :p obelisk is extremely good if your +mult is from jokers, especially scaling ones
which is generally the most consistent strategy for higher stakes anyway

[slim junco]

I got a negative four fingers once

[naive kestrel]

I'll be back as soon as I gold stake it

[slim junco]

True..

[naive kestrel]

Kisses on the cheeks

[slim junco]

I’m so geared towards flushes that there’s just no point in taking it

[left glade]

i love u showman, please give me 2 souls card

[wintry patrol]

the thing with obelisk is like
if you play it right you can scale it by 0.6-0.8x every blind which is just insane compared to like any other scaler besides maybe lucky cat in very specific scenarios and maybe campfire

[ember root]

It scales stupidly fast it's up there with like Madness

[slim junco]

Ah madness

[wintry patrol]

yeah, it’s faster than madness, especially given the fact that madness only scales on small and big blinds

[left glade]

i never played with magic deck

is good?

[earnest kelp]

Newest addition to my wall. Looks Great! 🔥

[ember root]

It's solid

The easy strat is to just use the two Fools to copy Hermit and become instantly rich

[left glade]

i dont know what i thinking

[flat tide]

Idk why I use swash so much

[true flax]

i'm mult...

[flat tide]

No your myce

[true flax]

how could you even assume that... what do you think you are, my mom's mom?

[flat tide]

Yea

I am

I have birth to your mom

[true flax]

[left glade]

i love u photochad

[flat tide]

Real

My latest run got way to far for what it was😭

[left glade]

thanks, i love u riff-raff

[flat tide]

Riff raff my beloved

[left glade]

madness is good?

i never played with he

[dry bay]

I love madness

[flat tide]

It’s fun

Especially on black stake

[dry bay]

it's better once you get up to black stake

[wintry patrol]

madness is very good in black stake+ if you get it early

[left glade]

i'm in the black stake

[dry bay]

cause then you have eternals that don't get eaten by it

[left glade]

ante 2

[flat tide]

But if your on white stake treat it like a stencil run almost and just focus on deck building and planets

[left glade]

vagabond is bad imo

[dry bay]

I mean you can farm A LOT of tarots with it

[glad oriole]

ur wrong imo

[left glade]

but you dont have interest

[flat tide]

Yea

[glad oriole]

vagabond is op i will die on this hill

[wintry patrol]

the amount of tarot cards you get more than makes up for it

yeah it is very good

[glad oriole]

he rewards you for spending

thats pretty rad

[flat tide]

As a yellow deck user I don’t truly use it a lot

[wintry patrol]

i don't really see how it's worse on yellow lmao

[glad oriole]

you can use vagabond on yellow deck

[wintry patrol]

what

[stable quarry]

Someone help pls

[flat tide]

What’s up

[stable quarry]

What goes for oops?

[glad oriole]

as long as its decently early on vaga is great

[flat tide]

One of the dusks?

[wintry patrol]

a dusk

[left glade]

i sell madness?

[glad oriole]

do you have all face cards

[stable quarry]

Oh ok thanks

[stable quarry]

Yes

[glad oriole]

oki

[stable quarry]

I wanted idol run

But like

[glad oriole]

then a duck

[stable quarry]

No idol showed up

[glad oriole]

dusk

[flat tide]

Duck

[glad oriole]

u’ll get on

e

[flat tide]

They should have a duck card

[wintry patrol]

i mean i guess so. you should've been taking eternal jokers if you have madness

[stable quarry]

Still possibility for idol to show up tho

Ok dusk is gone

Thanks

[wintry patrol]

sell madness but tbh it's because you were probably playing it wrong

[flat tide]

Np!

[wintry patrol]

when you have madness its scaling is good enough that you can usually take eternal jokers you normally would never take

[left glade]

do not appear eternal jokers in this run

ante 3

and nothing eternal jokers

[wintry patrol]

unfortunate i guess lol

[left glade]

i playing in the white stake...

😭

[wintry patrol]

oh

🤦

[left glade]

now i am in the black stake

madness appears again

pls

[stable quarry]

Damn the oops really did help, went from e13 to e18

[flat tide]

Have yall seen any community made cards that you truly think would go great in the game

[stable quarry]

Ok erm now I need help again

What’s going for idol?

[flat tide]

What’s up?

[stable quarry]

Oops?

[flat tide]

One of the bloodstones

[stable quarry]

Oh ok

[flat tide]

I think

[stable quarry]

Thanks

[flat tide]

Don’t take my advice!!!

Listen to others first

[stable quarry]

Why

Oh ok

Any others agree?

[flat tide]

Cause I’m not the best

Not nearly

[stable quarry]

Np

[left glade]

I'm going to try to make my first high card build

i use ectoplasm in baron?

[flat tide]

You got this

[flat tide]

Not this early

Just hex for now

[stable quarry]

No hex Barron then buy the splash and ecto that 😈

[wicked mirage]

unless they’re lucky oops ans bloostone should have the same effet

[flat tide]

GENUIS

[stable quarry]

They are lucky

So I should sell bloodstone then?

Lucky poly kings 😈

[left glade]

i have used hex now

i need a money

[wicked mirage]

then bloodstone should go in my humble opinion, x2 on every card is much better that x1,5 2/3 timzs

[stable quarry]

Wait erm I wasn’t serious

[left glade]

to buy splash

[stable quarry]

Bro nooo

Omggg

Sorry 😞

[left glade]

Splash not is good for high card deck?

[stable quarry]

Nooo

[stable quarry]

Ok thanks

[glad oriole]

splash is never good 👍

[flat tide]

Yup

[left glade]

ok, the first step for high card build is trying to a mime

[glad oriole]

the first step for a high card build is stuntman

otherwise its pairs

[left glade]

card sharp is good?

for high card build

[glad oriole]

ye

[left glade]

i lost....

idk how to use high card

😭

i think i need more multi and chips

[glad oriole]

you need good jokers because thats really the only reason to play high card

jokers like

greem

or bus

or stuntman

basically jokers that provide basemult and chips

because high card does NOT have that

also jokers tgat benefit from playing many and and from not requiring discards

so like

delgrat

ramen

[left glade]

stuntman is good? but the base for a high card build is baron no? and baron needs more hand size

[glad oriole]

groker

[glad oriole]

no

baron is shit

its so difficult to make baron worth your time

you need a lot of kings

you need a lot of levels in high card

or some other way to get mult

like fist

and yoy need to not encounter debuff boss blinds

[stable quarry]

Lucky cat for bloodstone ?

[glad oriole]

baron js good for endless because you have the time to fix for it

but in ante 8 runs

it is very rarely a good commitment

[left glade]

understand

[glad oriole]

no

[left glade]

so i need chips and mult only? like pirate joker + egg

[glad oriole]

you’d need to get cat to 438x mult for it to be stronger than bloodstone

[glad oriole]

not only but yiu do need them

you also want xmults like always

stuff like hologram constellation blackboard

card sharp

[left glade]

my dream is a hologram + marble joker 😭

[glad oriole]

hologram + cert is better smh

[left glade]

but the stone cards can be good with high card

its chips

[glad oriole]

ye

so can seals

blue seal op

[left glade]

i buy all the celestial packs right?

[glad oriole]

i mean pluto isnt very strong but still

[left glade]

to get pluto

[glad oriole]

dont sacrifice interest for it

thats just general advice

planets are good

but economy is better

[left glade]

this is a good start for high card?

[stable quarry]

Omg

I forgot to skip the boss blind

[glad oriole]

sell showman

[stable quarry]

What gets sold ?????

[left glade]

dont need, i lost, Rng of this game sometimes is horrible

[glad oriole]

well

dont force builds

[midnight crest]

Idol

[stable quarry]

Lol

[left glade]

this can be good

[orchid raft]

splash can save you in Early game, you can only pick cards that you find useful for the hand
If you have a odd Mult joker, you can only pick odd cards and winning just for that. Or if you want to have better high cards in early game tho

But in the rest of the game is practicaly useless

[glad oriole]

splash has never saved me early game

its probably at jts worst early on because you cant play extra enhancements or joker synergy cards as you usually do not have those early on

[left glade]

i got this pareidolia?

[glad oriole]

no

def take bbc tho

[left glade]

🔥

[glad oriole]

bana

[left glade]

i lost

i hate the rng.

please, i need a triboulet, please god

I HATE THE RNG

[ember root]

Chicot my beloved

[glad oriole]

swash value

[mint finch]

Wow

[stable quarry]

Decent run

If the mouth didnt kill me I would’ve died next ante anyway

[left glade]

thanks showman.

[glad oriole]

eternal dna is such an ass take sorry

[left glade]

[glad oriole]

Dinner Makes It To You

[glad oriole]

I HATE U SO MUCH ETERNAL DNA

[quartz ether]

[left glade]

[glad oriole]

[left glade]

GOD I LOVE YOU

[neon olive]

holy flush five do i go for the double blueprint

[austere python]

LETS FUCKING GOOO

[neon olive]

F i definitely should have hexed before ankhing

oh well

[austere python]

This was the most scuffed run of balatro I've ever played

[neon olive]

same 💔

[pallid hawk]

what a lucky finisher

[glad oriole]

copying photograph is better

[ancient radish]

how you guys deal with black deck gold stake? i think im in that stake for over a month now and cant move on

[left glade]

I HATE YOU SO MUCH ETERNAL DNA

I HATE YOU YOU ETERNAL DNA.

[left glade]

i sell hanging chad to blueprint?

or no

[strong prairie]

banged my head against the wall until it worked tbh

[glad oriole]

yes

it is strictly better to do so

[barren geyser]

Whats really the point of going past ante 8?

[pallid hawk]

big number

[left glade]

position it correct?

[glad oriole]

mm

[left glade]

happy

[glad oriole]

no

[pallid hawk]

bp on chad

[glad oriole]

bp chad

[ancient radish]

damn i was asking for golden but im in the one before. i thought i could find some help in the server but i guess ill keep doing the same, banging my head against the wall

[neon olive]

its ok 💔
also its so stressful im trying to make the 2 blueprint deck work with common jokers because i cant find anything better

[timid cloak]

I think you should use the blueprint on the photograph and the brainstorm on the chad

[neon olive]

dangit]

[strong prairie]

If you want a more serious answer, focus on econ (getting to $25) and grab early +mult jokers, even if they're eternal

[timid cloak]

I had good econ out of the womb

Probably because I play a lot of roguelikes that reward you for being smart with money

[timid cloak]

Nucr

Nuce

Nicr

Nice

[naive kestrel]

Goofy

[neon olive]

im gonna replay the seed and see if hexxing the blueprint before ankh would do smth

[timid cloak]

Also play on 4 speed maybe

[left glade]

my end is coming..

[naive kestrel]

Idk why I have so many blue joker pickups

[left glade]

i dont wanna die

[sonic field]

aint no way youre this far in a run without directors cut

[naive kestrel]

Aw, the plant reaps another run

I died to it today too lol

[sonic field]

would you rather always get bp and bs in a run or always get a soul card in tarot packs

[naive kestrel]

Prob bp and bs

[sonic field]

yeah

[naive kestrel]

You can wrap around weaker builds till u ger strong

The legendary jimbos are complex to get short therm strength

Idk my english, sorry

[left glade]

[sonic field]
