[serene forge]

i'm honestly not a huge fan of card sharp

[warm kindle]

99% of the time I think my decisions are fine but like the 1% I make wrong from playing too fast can cost me runs 😭

[vocal rose]

I think so too but I don't think about the long term effects typically

[lunar zealot]

me neither

[zealous trellis]

i somehow won despite my joker setup

[vocal rose]

which end up accumulating into a loss

[lunar zealot]

i don't like directly losing to needle and eye

if i need card sharp to survive i take it yeah but

[serene forge]

what the fuck

[lunar zealot]

if i have options i don't want it

[serene forge]

show deck

[vocal rose]

I love it

[visual turtle]

Red card isn't

working for me specifically

[vocal rose]

wdym

[zealous trellis]

btw the sock and sly were natural negatives

[vocal rose]

how does a joker specifically not work for you and YOU only

[warm kindle]

I agree with most of this list, kinda surprised that oops is that high and bloodstone is that low

[manic talon]

goated start tbh

[serene forge]

i can kinda see baron working with this

[vocal rose]

because it's typically very easy to get value from oops all sixes

[warm kindle]

Ig they dont like skipping packs idk 😭

[serene forge]

what was your high card level

[vocal rose]

and bloodstone is so fucking shit

[twin lantern]

Why flash card so low 😢

[zealous trellis]

1

[visual turtle]

Idk when to NOT buy from the shop especially if both packs aren't playing card ones

[vocal rose]

because of the $ to mult ratio

[serene forge]

???

pair level?

[north schooner]

Chat, how do I salvage this run?

[floral mural]

honestly the reason im losing a good bunch of runs is probably spending too much on rerolls

[cosmic sun]

cause it scale slower than multers that take less money and setup

[floral mural]

i need to cut that habit out

[earnest bison]

Beautiful view of Ursa Major where I live.

[serene forge]

red card is dogshit why would I ever skip a pack 😡

[warm kindle]

Its good when u have lots of money, otherwise its meh

[earnest bison]

(Ignore how my phone screen is scratched.)

[vocal rose]

with no vouchers its $5 to +2 mult PER SHOP as the rerolls obviously get more expensive

[lost vault]

very balatro related

[warm kindle]

+3 mult or blueprint 🤔

[zealous trellis]

im mostly playing full houses

[serene forge]

HUH

[vocal rose]

$11 to +4 mult and so forth

[visual turtle]

-# i won't

[cosmic sun]

3 mult on principle probably

[floral mural]

you dont need juggler just skip it smh

[vocal rose]

with the vouchers its different though

[cosmic sun]

[serene forge]

full hourse with baron 😭

[visual turtle]

OK WAIT

[zealous trellis]

i didnt get baron till like begining of ante 8

[visual turtle]

I can skip this time

[delicate tide]

You gave family justice!!!!

Thanks

[cosmic sun]

if I actually skip a blueprint it's gonna be to flex on ppl who take it ante 1

[humble lichen]

forgot to get the seed, but natural negative baron/dusk and legendary coulda been a fun run

[visual turtle]

oh my god I just realized

[serene forge]

antisynergy final boss

[floral mural]

for held in hand scoring effects you dont want 5 card hands. you want pairs or high cards

[earnest bison]

Ursa Major provides X0.1 Mult per Planet Card used, no?

[visual turtle]

i have to
skip a pack

[serene forge]

also

[warm kindle]

No boss reroll voucher 🥀

[zealous trellis]

wow one high card was enoughj 1.6 mil score

[lost vault]

nah thats a different constellation

[visual turtle]

WAIT

[humble lichen]

didnt find boss reroll with 500 cash either

[earnest bison]

Must've been thinking of Ursa Minor, then.

[visual turtle]

SO ME NOT BUYING ANYTHING DOESN'T CONSTITUE AS ME SKIPPING PACKS??????

[cosmic sun]

balatro players knowing about red seal mimes but not valuing gold cards outside of endless is funny

[humble lichen]

what i was looking for sadg

[floral mural]

yes red card is open a pack and then skip it

[twin lantern]

fair i just like flash card bc it rewards you for rerolling which i do a lot of

[warm kindle]

How new to the game are you 😭

[cosmic sun]

money generators for them usually involve chad lucky card or smth

[serene forge]

red card fucking lied to me 😡 i skipped a blind but i didn't get red card mult even though i skipped the shops with the packs 😡 localthunk fix your game

[visual turtle]

I have LITERALLY never decided to use red card until now

[north schooner]

The only thing keeping me alive is splashing evens into unrelated pairs. And spaceman putting in work.

[floral mural]

i was talking abkut using full house with baron. also i do care for gold cards dont worry

slotless econ is amazing

[cosmic sun]

I just mean others cough reddit

[visual turtle]

ok now that I know that

[warm kindle]

I used to think it was terrible ngl

[vocal rose]

mults looking rough rn

[warm kindle]

When I started

[visual turtle]

the thing seems usable now

[cosmic sun]

when you frame it as 6 mult in most shops it's pretty disgusting

god bless shitty packs

[zealous trellis]

aaaaaand i immediately messed up

ggs

[delicate tide]

Standard pack into purple seal into judgement into mult

[vocal rose]

I might be taking this

[unborn cliff]

red seal poly lucky 2 in the standard pack

[visual turtle]

-# I should send an image and not like describe my situation

[warm kindle]

Yeah once I realised its been carrying my runs ever since

[serene forge]

when you say red card is good on r/balatro:

[grand tinsel]

Plasma deck is fun

[delicate tide]

Yeah probably

[vocal rose]

I'm pretty desperate

popcorn at 4

chips are fine

[visual turtle]

do i ride public transportation

[delicate tide]

Yeah do it I guess

Idk im washed rn

[zealous trellis]

ok beginning of a black stake run, do i take eternal paredolia or marbel joker

[floral mural]

how addicted to mult and bonus cards are they

[earnest bison]

Why not? You're using Abandoned.

[delicate tide]

Bad or bad

[visual turtle]

Marble because you could get the plant

[grand tinsel]

Stone time

[visual turtle]

And die

[vocal rose]

bruh

fib in the next shop

ante

[delicate tide]

Frick

[vocal rose]

whatever

[cosmic sun]

are you good at scaling bus

[delicate tide]

Punished ish

[vocal rose]

I can live with one eternal being bad

I mean I was probably gonna die without that smiley

[zealous trellis]

this guy gets it, i might vote for him if he ever runs, surely there wont be any giant robots to deal with

[grand tinsel]

Eternal faceboi is never a pick I make, it can lock you into death so easy

[cosmic sun]

they do have 2 more slots

and possibly getting out of arrowgoat

[visual turtle]

not really? I'd probably get +4 or +5 multi on the boss

[serene forge]

never take eternal parei

ever

[vocal rose]

BRUH

from judgement

[zealous trellis]

the goal is to get an insanely high high card level and so my chips can actually do something

[cosmic sun]

you basically gotta know how to use most if not all your hands on bus

[visual turtle]

i am doing pairs so maybe

[cosmic sun]

having a second mult scaler can definitely save you so it's kinda nothink on abandoned especially

[floral mural]

pareidolia in general is only really useful for specific econ jokers

[visual turtle]

who
do
I sell though

[cosmic sun]

steven

[visual turtle]

Rip steven 💔

[floral mural]

since the amount of scoring face jokers that are also good is.... small

[delicate tide]

LMAO

i knew it

also

[cosmic sun]

play your lowest scoring pairs, if you win too hard with that play high cards

[delicate tide]

i think u found ur mult

[vocal rose]

I did but

I cant rely on it

since I need x mult too

so im gonna have to play fib

this game STINKS

[cosmic sun]

hmmm ante 4 red with 2 other mults

surely you can find a way to get out of chad arrowhead

[visual turtle]

Yikes the needle

[cosmic sun]

oof that one hurts to go into blind

[vocal rose]

I dont want to though

thats just my chips

for the rest of the run

[visual turtle]

hopefully I can level up pair high enough

[vocal rose]

I think im just gonna roll down for glass since I also took tarot tycoon

[cosmic sun]

could also make spades and possibly get bb

[vocal rose]

thats what im doing rn too

[cosmic sun]

arrowhead is not out of the equation entirely

[vocal rose]

I just gotta deck fix like crazy

[grand tinsel]

Or a ghetto photochad, but it’s kind of a lot of commitment for that unless you’re on abandoned deck or something-

Still, not good in most cases

[sleek valley]

Do I take devious here? Runner is only at 75

[cosmic sun]

naw

[sleek valley]

I am going to need to improve my score somewhere soon

[cosmic sun]

that's a good time to spam pairs on nova ngl

best way to use it

[visual turtle]

aaand i died

[cosmic sun]

nvm

ante 7

gah damn

[grand tinsel]

Rough gem shop one, interesting

[cosmic sun]

straights?

[visual turtle]

Red card is cool

now

That i used it

[cosmic sun]

how many straights have you played and what is the level @sleek valley

[cosmic sun]

how much scoring per hand

[grand tinsel]

Fortune Teller my beloved

[sleek valley]

63k

[simple bronze]

uh i need x mult now right

[sleek valley]

need to get better

[simple bronze]

still haven't found any x mult

[cosmic sun]

I think on abandoned you can tank it for a little longer but not for devious

since abandoned has easier straights

[grand tinsel]

Simply acquire some polychromes

Nah-

Tbh I only get polychromes when I’m not really trying to, it’s annoying

[visual turtle]

Foil Fibonacci 🥰

[grand tinsel]

Foilnacci

[simple bronze]

mannn

this doesn't help me at all

[grand tinsel]

Interesting lineup

[cosmic sun]

maybe sell runner and keep scaling saturn, might work on red stake

[cosmic sun]

the chips from saturn scaling is pretty cracked on its own

[visual turtle]

now

To enact the To buy oops all 6's glass plan

or to skip

Hmmmmmm

[grand tinsel]

Why you oopin your glass 🤨

[sour quail]

mfw no full house on painted deck

[visual turtle]

the plan is to get oo6, hope for glass joker, buy playing cards, and profit off glass joker xmulti

[cosmic sun]

pair supremacy strikes again

[languid pecan]

why did you take bloodstone

[cosmic sun]

or 3oak even

3oak goat

[sour quail]

didnt draw it bruh

look at your screen

!!!

[cosmic sun]

but you were full housing

[grand tinsel]

I wanna do a lucky cat build but the shop never gives to me(yes when I meet the invisible prereq)

[cosmic sun]

the dookie hand

[manic talon]

This seed has Eye into pillar, they dont want this run to win lmao

[simple bronze]

i need x mult

[languid pecan]

blood stone doesnt help at all in that regard

[sour quail]

actually I was 4oaking but full house would have been enough to win

[cosmic sun]

shhh shhhh let it be a learning opportunity

[sour quail]

dont be presumptuous

[simple bronze]

welp i lost

geuinely i could not find anything good in the shop

[cosmic sun]

noob

[modest spade]

Be nice

[open hemlock]

sadly ts my best run i ever got

[cosmic sun]

nah not to him

[visual turtle]

You gotta always assume the worse about the game

[cosmic sun]

[visual turtle]

It'll help you

Be cautious

[serene forge]

you still lose when you have blueprint and poly pants in ante 3

[cosmic sun]

Yea I do not like that mindset

[serene forge]

bloodstone with supernova is

a choice

certainly one of the choices of all time

[modest spade]

Bloodstone Supernova Obelisk

Beautiful anti-synergy

[languid pecan]

in this game you get what you get otherwise spam pairs

[simple bronze]

i liyrtslu couldn't find anything else

supernove shop 1

then nothing

[visual turtle]

what other jokers did you see

[simple bronze]

so i focued on leveling up planets

[cosmic sun]

the mouth and 4oak sound like a nightmare

this is why pair sweep

[simple bronze]

random chip and x mult

[serene forge]

post seed

[languid pecan]

[visual turtle]

Good news

[cosmic sun]

oh yea they were saying no one could beat their seed

[visual turtle]

I got negative shoot the moon

[cosmic sun]

[visual turtle]

Bad news

It's abandon deck

[languid pecan]

[cosmic sun]

whos gonna be the one to break the news

[visual turtle]

free money i guess

[languid pecan]

standard packs

[visual turtle]

I am not playing face cards in my face cardless deck

[modest spade]

Temperance value

[visual turtle]

💔

[languid pecan]

[modest spade]

[serene forge]

??????????

[lunar zealot]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

[languid pecan]

[simple bronze]

yeah all useless

[lunar zealot]

ok this is just ragebait or severe cognitive dissonance

[visual turtle]

They somehow didn't get a ceremonial dagger?

[simple bronze]

wup

wut

i didn't see any of that

[visual turtle]

you didn't buy the arcana pack?

[sour quail]

just did pairs and lost to ante 3 wall 💔

[languid pecan]

i took the jumbo buffoon round 2

[simple bronze]

no because yall say i shouldn't be spending money

i need to save money on interest

so i only bought planet packs

[visual turtle]

Well I'm not an expert but you gotta get arcana packs most of the time.

[serene forge]

well i'm confused now, this is whta the buffoon pack has according to seed analyzer

but still

ride the bus LMAO

[simple bronze]

wtf

acrobat would have saved me

[serene forge]

blunder

[cosmic sun]

you should probably watch balatro university do a pair run ngl, idk if you could just hop in and do one after playing big hands and expect to know how to play it optimally

[simple bronze]

ya know what imma just stick wiht my strategy saving money is for suckers

[sour quail]

buddy i know how the game works i just got unlucky lol

[cosmic sun]

one anecdotal loss

[simple bronze]

imma buy everything i see

open every pack i see

[cosmic sun]

do you 🗿

[sour quail]

yes

[cosmic sun]

most played hand hc is a little concerning

[visual turtle]

Don't do it

[sour quail]

has bro heard of endless

[visual turtle]

Do NOT open standard packs

Unless

[modest spade]

We all do high cards as throwaway hands

[visual turtle]

The joker wants you too

[modest spade]

It's my most played hand too for that reason

[sour quail]

my most money is $896,779 do you think I only play ante 8

[cosmic sun]

this channel? oh they'll let you know about it

[modest spade]

Even though I play pairs and straights more often

[cosmic sun]

[visual turtle]

Hey look it's the plant

In my faceless abandoned deck

Yay negative raised fist

[finite bay]

we are robock_12

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

AJ is on diamonds idk why i bought him, for fun i guess

[sour quail]

thanks showman this is just what I need in ante 3

[acoustic kettle]

All cards count as same suit

[sour quail]

absolute cinema

showman value through the roof

[manic talon]

strongest showman

that showman couldve been a hologram or a certificate

but now its another showman

[cosmic sun]

cinema is watching someone say they know the game then post a screenshot with showman

[acoustic kettle]

Why does gold stickers sometimes looks like orange

[cosmic sun]

this is definitely annoying

[clear sigil]

thanks game appreciate it

[cosmic sun]

it's definitely a little darker though so I learn to spot it

[surreal spruce]

Color

[visual turtle]

Aw couldn't make it to 72,000 in time

[manic talon]

the gold shine effect sometimes makes it look like orange

[vestal fern]

why are oranges called oranges

[compact halo]

Hi friends anyone know why my cursor doesn’t show up on my desktop game

[serene forge]

I love Ride the Bus

[compact halo]

New pfp check

[serene forge]

i love this game

[sour quail]

man every single time I see vampire it's an ante after I sell midas

hate you vampire

[grand tinsel]

Spare trousers pog

[lunar zealot]

i don't like the antisynergy with square

but i'll take it

if i get xmult i win

WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT

[round nexus]

3 birds with one stone hitting rocket, jimbo, and obelisk stickers in the same run

How is pants anti synergy with square? Two pairs is 4 cards. I love putting thkse together

[cosmic sun]

reddit be telling scary stories about this card around the....wait they are dead from the cold

[grand tinsel]

Stops you from playing 4oak if you want to scale them simultaneously

[lunar zealot]

pants wants you to play as many 2 pairs as possible to scale it as much as possible

square joker gives +chips which makes you score too fast

this is also why generally you want to use as little uranuses as possible on pants runs

[grand tinsel]

Oh, that too

[lunar zealot]

additionally if you even want chips

just use uranus

[round nexus]

I mean if you're scoring that much then you don't need the extra scaling?

[lunar zealot]

square joker will never outscale uranus

[lunar zealot]

trust me you do

[grand tinsel]

With fast scaling, you will

[cosmic sun]

having a really fat multer be making a difference ngl

I used to be okay with just 40 but sometimes an 80 in ante 8 can come in clutch

[grand tinsel]

I’ve made a fortune teller that big

[round nexus]

It's easy with fortune teller

I've had fortune tellers get up to 130+ with vagabond lol

[grand tinsel]

Emperor Fool is all you need tbh

Well

Vouchers help with that

[lunar zealot]

OOOOO

[cosmic sun]

game free

[grand tinsel]

I rarely get baseball card, but when I do it’s literally the best form of xmult I can easily get-

[lunar zealot]

yall already know me as #1 bbc glazer of balatrocord

[grand tinsel]

Would you like to rephrase

[lunar zealot]

i see nothing wrong with what i said

[grand tinsel]

Totally

[cosmic sun]

[grand tinsel]

Flat mult jokers that are naturally polychrome 😫

[grand tinsel]

Not for you 😔

[buoyant pumice]

I love madness too

But like

Stop it

[grand tinsel]

How far did you scale it

[buoyant pumice]

6.5

aka it goes i die

I wanted a pair level not two blueprints

[lunar zealot]

wtf why do i die to vv

[manic talon]

Technically BP copying photograph will net you more score (X8) but not that much higher so whatever

[lunar zealot]

OH FUCK I CANT READ IM A BALATRO PLAYER

[buoyant pumice]

Too tempting, do it

[echo tartan]

you can use steel cards multiple times a round

[outer basalt]

You're talking about card games! Sounds like you're discussing strategy or analyzing gameplay Which game are you playing? Are you looking for tips or just sharing observations?

[grand tinsel]

It’d be funny if you could pass your hand instead of playing and take a consolation prize of chips-

[outer basalt]

That's a hilarious idea! A "pass" option with a consolation prize could add a fun twist to the game. It'd be great for players who want to avoid a bad hand or save their cards for later. Maybe the consolation prize could be a small amount of chips or a special "wildcardcard for the next round. What do you think would be a good consolation prize?

[twin lantern]

its effect happens during scoring and is held in hand, way better than on-scored effects

this is too formal or well structured for most average individuals

that's why they called you a "machine"

no one expects such well written responses

[echo tartan]

notice: very few people use both correct capitalization and punctuation

[lyric shore]

no its literally the exact tone that gpt uses

[vestal fern]

The real galaxy-brain move in Balatro

Scaling +Mult jokers into Constellation on Ante 2? Everyone sleeps on this combo because they're chasing for consistency and flashy xMult, but this is pure, unadultered tempo acceleration. You're not just scoring -- you're reshaping the probability distribution itself.

Trust the process, not the payout.

Most players see the setup cost and panic. Black deck's +1 joker slot paired with Constellation's xMult? That's not RNG dependence, that's chaos controlled to your own will. You're literally shaping the natural variance of the game. Pure Balatro sorcery.

the balatro ai reddit comment (i WILL keep overusing this)

[grand peak]

Holy chatgpt

[grand peak]

Whyyy

[vestal fern]

The original comment was made in a reddit post i did not make it

[grand peak]

Yeah ik

[vestal fern]

It goes against Ramb deltarune's morals to ask a machine to do work for him

I could never, innit

[grand tinsel]

What can I say, I love nanners

[grand peak]

Ramb deltarune is so cool

[vestal fern]

step 1, get gros michel
step 2, get bread
step 3, fuse the- oh shit the gros michel went extinct
step 4, get Cavendish
step 5, ???
step 6, banana bread

[twin lantern]

No.

Gros micheal goes extinct and, as always, cavendish is parishable

[grand tinsel]

You forget the long period where Gros Michel dies ante 1 and Cavendish doesn’t show up until like shop 2 ante 8-

[kind cloud]

my cavendish went extinct what do i do

[grand tinsel]

Getting Wraith when you’re dead broke is a great feeling

[grand tinsel]

Basically the game hates you, and you should die

[split hinge]

How can I even gold sticker the food jokers

[tall sky]

hold them

[kind cloud]

but i want banana bread :(

[grand tinsel]

You grab them as late as you can

[tall sky]

i promise you it's not that hard

as long as you have dead slots you can carry perishable jokers

maybe swap out rebate last shop for something silly

[indigo arch]

Splash

[grand tinsel]

Showman in the initial shop two shops in a row, it really wants me to take the bait

[manic talon]

mr bones invis and luchador confirmed food joker, egg confirmed not food joker

[tall sky]

eggs spoil tho

actually wait

i dont know what point im making

uh

le fishe au chocolat

🇫🇷

[manic talon]

so does luchador

[tall sky]

would you eat a luchador

[manic talon]

im not allowed to answer that

[tall sky]

there should be a texture pack with the sole purpose of turning all jokers into food EXCEPT the actual food jokers

[tawdry spade]

146/150 down

[vestal fern]

Extinct!

[tawdry spade]

Just got Sixth Sense, Stone Joker, Glass Joker, and Invisible Joker left

[vestal fern]

What food would each joker be though🧠

Fibonacci should be a plate of pasta, Stuntman should be a bag of chips, Blackboard would be a bean soup

Blueprint would be salt, Brainstorm would be pepper

[hardy steppe]

Anyone know if perkeo can scale enough in this position for naneinf?

[echo tartan]

if you find the serpent, probably

otherwise, i have no idea

[manic talon]

so you also turn the food jokers into humans?

[median crystal]

how do i build high card

[north schooner]

does Jimbo deserve his gold sticker?

[echo tartan]

probably

[modest ingot]

Can we have a joker called Snollygoster and he changes all of your jokers to the best one you have, aka itself?

[north schooner]

blue seals, orbital tag, a chips joker and a mult joker, telescope voucher and celestial packs

[north schooner]

Neither hologram nor glass joker deserve theirs right now. Standard packs dried up in the last 4 antes, and glass refuses to break

[median crystal]

how do i get good at the game tho

i started a couple days ago xd

[north schooner]

play more

[simple jacinth]

understand where your scoring is coming from and what's gonna make the most impact - are you getting enough mult/chips? What is your best hand scoring and how consistently can you get it?

get a handle on your money, try to only spend as much as you need to survive the next round knowing how much you're scoring

[wispy nimbus]

Get serpant and yeah

[north schooner]

Keep your funds above $25 when you exit the shop. You make $1 for every $5 you have up to $25, and it makes a huge difference.

Dont ever skip rounds.

[simple jacinth]

there comes a point where skipping is good and there are exceptions (otherwise they wouldn't exist) but this is good starting advice

[north schooner]

I wouldn't ever say it is good, but there are exceptions. Wait till you get better before you try to understand them.

[simple jacinth]

only handle skips when you're absolutely confident that they are beneficial and survivable

[north schooner]

oof, can I afford to trade blue for banner for the sticker?

pair's at 385 chips

[grand tinsel]

Was playing straights and the fish got me 😔

[simple jacinth]

Seems like most of your strength comes from mult and planets so yeah

[north schooner]

I think it's probably ok. Just gotta be conservative with my discards because Bell is the boss.

[simple jacinth]

dewit

[tawdry spade]

What goes to get this card in for (hopefully) a sticker?

I'm thinking chad and then moving Blueprint onto Card Sharp

[finite spade]

probably chad unless you have glass

[north schooner]

Three more down. Jimbo, banner, and the reprehensible bootstraps.

[grand tinsel]

Oh yeah, this is where the fun begins

[north schooner]

Glass continues never to break

[tall sky]

why not

[tall sky]

one example

list one joker I'll give you a creative answer

[manic talon]

even steven is coca cola odd todd is pepsi

[finite spade]

but coke is better and todd is better

[manic talon]

take it up to the coca cola company

[north schooner]

wait is that game good?

[modest ingot]

Gentlemen, I got the brainstorm.

Now to use a seed that gives me the brainstorm on small blind

[grand tinsel]

Do you see my vision

[finite spade]

the game is incredible, just don't interact with the community

[north schooner]

oh cool, I only know it from the KEYGEN CHURCH song of the soundtrack

and I never interact with communities, so I'm good

[finite spade]

they say while in the balatro discord

[tall sky]

gold cards are now gold foil chocolate

glass cards and glass joker is now breaking bad candy meth

[wintry river]

hee hee hee haw

ok next time i won't take burglar with bus

[finite spade]

bus burglar has never gone wrong for me

[north schooner]

at least you only lose half your mult?

at least bus is not eternal?

[wintry river]

was already nearing death with the whole setup

[north schooner]

oh yeah that's unrecoverable

[urban sun]

balatro

[tardy spade]

what if the second tier of magic trick allowed you to sell cards as well as buying them?

[manic talon]

depends on how many cards youre allowed to sell

[tardy spade]

say 1 per round, so it's like a permanent trading card

[manic talon]

anything higher than 1 would be too good, at 1 it would be pretty damn good too, but so is getting antimatter and the limiting factor of both is that the 1st voucher is useless

[tardy spade]

magic trick is more useful than blank

since at least it actually has some synergy (hologram)

[manic talon]

yea but without the synergy it actively harms you

[tardy spade]

true

[manic talon]

blank does nothing regardless of the build

so its probably like close enough

as broken a tier 2 voucher is, its still gatekept by the 1st tier so you can actually go pretty crazy on it without breaking too much ngl

[tardy spade]

another issue is that once your deck is fixed it no longer becomes useful and you're just left with the downside of magic trick

[wintry river]

dude

[manic talon]

neptune only nebula deck REAL

[grand tinsel]

Think I found the dummy Strat, Cartomancer feeds both the triplet fortune tellers, and vampire

[tardy spade]

@main matrix why the friend request?

[north schooner]

The Plant strikes again!

[wintry river]

free bus scaling

[manic talon]

most likely not a real person

[uncut slate]

the plant striking the bus is rare

[drowsy hinge]

Plasma deck gold stake is probably the most aids one,I even found abandoned deck gold stake easier

[grand tinsel]

Game gave me a negative lucky cat after I’ve scaled my vampire so far. I hate this game

[quartz ember]

i guess here the plant was big enough for the bus to crash on it

[zinc willow]

Not bad for unneeded

Unseeded*

[north schooner]

look who got a shiny new seal

[quartz ember]

new "charlie" boss blind

[zinc willow]

Oh.. shit, he's legit in the same spot while im typing, i am indeed a Charlie fan

Charlie would have fun on balatro i believe, I wish markiplier had made more videos. Had alot of fun watching him play

[north schooner]

The problem was none of the windows on the bus shattered

[zinc willow]

I have a hard time with the bus

Unless Im gonna run 10s, it feels rough. I guess I could run 8s or 9s though

[north schooner]

what hands do you try to play with it?

[zinc willow]

3 - 5 OAK

[quartz ember]

its quite like grimbo, you should not, you shouldnt use all your discards first

[quartz ember]

holy what!

[north schooner]

there's your problem

[quartz ember]

5oak with bus

[zinc willow]

Im a copier...

[quartz ember]

you need to be playing pairs

[north schooner]

if you're not playing 5 hands a round, you're not scaling as much as you could

[zinc willow]

Unless im running aces but I normally seed those

[quartz ember]

so that you can get rid of face cards with your played hands

(and not win too fast)

[zinc willow]

Fair enough

[north schooner]

try it next time, see if it helps

[zinc willow]

I have -autism aka ADHD so it makes this game a bitch when Im swapping jokers and building strategies

[tropic umbra]

i have a specific order to my jonklers other than mult before xmult

negatives, effect, econ, chips, mult, xmult

[zinc willow]

Also on my train of getting off nicotine this week so its even worse. Wife wants me to quit for our daughter its rough

[quartz ember]

interesting, I usually have all the extras on the right

[zinc willow]

I like building copy trains with seeded/model runs. Its fun

*moded

[tropic umbra]

goes out the
window once brainstorm

[quartz ember]

stay strong

[zinc willow]

I have noticed that brainstorm seems to be more popular in seeded runs than legendaries lol

[quartz ember]

yes, because legendaries dont actually amount to much the higher up you go (except perkeo and rarely chicot)

[zinc willow]

DNA Perkeo and Steele multi (ya i forgot the name Sue me) are my favs

[north schooner]

chips, mult, xMult, utility, econ. Negatives sort with their category. Symmetry when it can be achieved.

[tropic umbra]

negative jokers only really go out of order if they're xmult

[zinc willow]

Agreed

Copy machine plus -negative joker equals a joker with plus one multi on pc for some reason

Not plus 1 multi, plus 1 joker slot without negative on it

Which i dont really understand

[tardy spade]

is part of thunk's game design making sure jokers can be helpful on any stake?

[soft vapor]

What did I do 😭

[tardy spade]

posted on the r/balatro subreddit

[soft vapor]

true...

r/balatro users when someone makes a joke that isn't very hard to get

[tardy spade]

oh wait you were the comment poster

[soft vapor]

yeah

[tardy spade]

my point still stands....

[soft vapor]

true

Okay nevermind all of the balatro fanbase don't get jokes

[tardy spade]

I can relate

jokes are hard to get

[soft vapor]

i said something satire that doesn't really make sense

and someone went "but ermmmmmm that doesn't make sense though does it?"

and someone else went
"i think they might be joking"

😭

[soft vapor]

Also iirc it was a c++ guy

[wintry river]

holy shit

[tardy spade]

I'm this kind of person

[dark cairn]

Man if only this wasnt on abandoned deck

still gonna take it though obviously lmao

[dark cairn]

and immediately after this i got burnt joker and brainstorm holy SHIT

[quartz ember]

time to get some deeeeth cards

[dark cairn]

and this shitty ass game spawned the wall with no counterplay

because of fucking course it did

why could i be allowed to have fun

[tardy spade]

skill issue

[dark cairn]

and other lies you can tell yourself

[quartz ember]

except it isnt a lie

tho yea skill does limit the amount of fun

[dark cairn]

if you knew exactly what bosses were coming in each ante from ante 1 then i'd be more inclined to agree

but then i guess people would just restart over and over until they find a seed that doesnt have bosses they dislike

[quartz ember]

thats why you have to be aware of what bosses counter you and prepare for them with counterplay even if you are not facing that boss in the particular ante

[dark cairn]

i didn't have the opportunity to do that

[modest spade]

What hand did you start maximizing with Burnt + Brainstorm btw I'm curious

[quartz ember]

you always have an opportunity for that (unless maybe black deck gold stake)

[modest spade]

Cuz I find it hard to believe those two would get hard walled

[dark cairn]

pairs

[grand tinsel]

Is a stone card plasma deck build common, cause idk

[quartz ember]

not really common i think

[grand tinsel]

It’s pretty good

[violet bear]

Nope, marble and stone jokers are uncommon

[grand tinsel]

I keel you

[modest spade]

There are better ways to get chips

So like, not really common

But it's something you can do, yeah

[grand tinsel]

Well yes, but have you considered

Stone Joker, Chad, Camper

[dusky gate]

hello

[modest spade]

His name is Hiker

[grand tinsel]

I had oops and hallucination to farm tower tarots and that was okay

I changed his legal name, it’s camper now

[modest spade]

You can't just change people's names like that

[wintry river]

the voices are calling me everywhere i go

[grand tinsel]

Yeah I can, I’m the name changer guy

[violet bear]

Don’t fuck with the senator, he can

[grand tinsel]

Gros Michel is Nanner, Cavendish is Bananner

[violet bear]

Do it, enlarge the wee furthermore

[grand tinsel]

Me when I hack the wee

[wintry river]

nah

[median crystal]

what mods is that

or

are those

[dark cairn]

game heard me complaining about boss blinds and gave me chicot

well ok ill take it

now i probably lose from not scoring enough lmao

[modest ingot]

What kind of Brainstorm is that?

[wintry river]

bluestorm (brainstorm texture pack)
jokerdisplay (text bwloe joker)

[dark cairn]

yep wow i lost from lack of score who couldve seen that coming

love how the only time i get a legendary joker is if its completely fucking worthless for me

[quartz ember]

rather think about what you could do differently

for example maybe you didnt econ/scale jokers enough early on

[north schooner]

no sorry, it's Big Mike

[dark cairn]

it was ante 2 and there were 0 scoring jokers in the shop

what do you do in that scenario

[quartz ember]

was there planets?

[dark cairn]

every time i open a celestial pack early in the shop it gives me useless trash so i don't do it

[quartz ember]

could you have sold chicot to reroll?

[dark cairn]

i didn't think i was going to die that soon

also i doubt 1 reroll from selling chicot wouldve done anything given how my runs have been going

[quartz ember]

then what you can learn is be mindful of your score and the possibilities you have in the moment

[urban hedge]

Maybe an odd question but would I lose if I had 7 hand size and used immolate followed by hanged man?

[quartz ember]

well this mindset at least is 100% gonna kill you

[north schooner]

legendary joker isn't going to help you with ante 2 either tho

[quartz ember]

otherwise you could have a chance

[dark cairn]

well it seems like every mindset is 100% killing me because every move i have made in the last 10 runs seems to have only dug my hole deeper even when i try to "change my mindset"

so idrk what to do anymore

[north schooner]

I believe it will auto draw a new hand for you, as long as you don't deck yourself

[urban hedge]

Yeah that would make sense

[quartz ember]

if you die without trying you wont learn

[urban hedge]

Yeah suppose so

[quartz ember]

also, sometimes playing some white stake ghost deck helps

its a nice break

[dark cairn]

weirdly enough i actually don't really like playing the ghost deck that much

idrk why

[quartz ember]

well, any deck, take your pick

[dark cairn]

i'm sure it'll give me something else to get annoyed over

[quartz ember]

then why are you playing the game. stop.

[dawn gulch]

I'm here struggling with Plasma Deck

It's only in Blue Stake

[dark cairn]

because i thought itd be a nice chill way to end the night but nope game had other plans

but dw if this next run dies which it inevitably will im gonna stop playing after that

[quartz ember]

oh now theres the problem

[lunar zealot]

who needs +mult jokers

[quartz ember]

I have done the same thing countless times xD

[lunar zealot]

literally i don't think i've proc'd card sharp a single time this run

my jokers are that strong

nice

woowwww took you long enough jesus christ

HAHAHAHHAAHAHAH

WHY DO I ONLY GET VV WHEN I FUCKING MASSIVELY OVERSHOOT THE SCORE REQUIREMENT

[quartz ember]

would have been better if it was verdant leaf

[lunar zealot]

no i even more overscore for leaf

proportionally speaking

i can win without steels

[hexed peak]

reroll tag lol

no boss could really matter for a build with 4 xmult jokers

[lunar zealot]

rip it

Very large blind

[quartz ember]

crimson is the worst but in this situation it too does jack shit

[lunar zealot]

if crimson hit card sharp it would basically do fucking nothing

and like even if it hit license that's just

what

3 steel cards?

i have +1 hand size

[lunar zealot]

just realized bbc would go so hard here

💔

[hexed peak]

realized what

[wintry river]

never got tiny hands apparently

[earnest bison]

I'm gonna determine my Deltarune route per-chapter via Balatro, by doing runs on the seeds "CHAPTER1", "CHAPTER2", "CHAPTER3", and "CHAPTER4". Should it be "lose>violence, win>pacifism, A39 anywhere>Snowgrave" or "win>violence, lose>pacifism, A39 anywhere>Snowgrave"?

[north schooner]

Are you playing on a vertical monitor? wth

[wintry river]

i have my balatro window half the size of my screen so that i can open youtube on the right

balatro gets boring sometimes

[median kiln]

Do I do it?

[wintry river]

ok ok i get it you're not doing snowgrave

[earnest bison]

You never know.

[median kiln]

(unmodded)

[earnest bison]

I doubt that. Also, how. Also, seed?

[wintry river]

not even close
i feel like you underestimate how hard it is to go ante 39

[wintry river]

why

[median kiln]

2K9H9HN

[median kiln]

It's really popular

[earnest bison]

Neat.

[median kiln]

Natural negative trib and perkeo

And then it's smooth sailing from there

[median kiln]

Nan inf but with just plutos

One of my ectos got wasted on a baron

I don't even have the anti matter voucher yet

Lmao

I 100% can get inf

[north schooner]

Do I tell Flash card to go fuck himself?

[vocal rose]

duh

[violet bear]

Yep

[north schooner]

just making sure my pure hatred for him wasn't biasing my opinion

[dark cairn]

hmmmmmmmmm

starting to wish i didnt take that eternal lucky cat when i only had 2 lucky cards

i just thought itd be fun

think im gonna have to skip andy here

i need scoring not more discards

[wintry river]

how high is your card level

[median kiln]

Like 150

[dark cairn]

is bro actually doing the observatory accelerator

[wintry river]

they're attempting naneinf with plutos

[dark cairn]

thats only possible with observatory voucher

[median kiln]

Indeed, although I think the run is fucked because one of my ectoplasm hit baron

[wintry river]

they are

[dark cairn]

🥀

[wintry river]

they have it

[median kiln]

The Mime was negative from skip tag

[wintry river]

pivot to baronmine

[quartz ember]

I thought 8 perks are enough

[median kiln]

Obviously

[median kiln]

no

[quartz ember]

but maybe if they arent very early

[median kiln]

I already have a hand size of 1

Or 2

[wintry river]

nah dude do you think this is a request

that was a threat

[median kiln]

Crazy

[wintry river]

anyways good luck on your naneinf

why did i type "baron" after naneinf

what

[violet bear]

Muscle memory

With naneinf, always comes baron

[signal frigate]

I would probably sell that blackboard

Having an extra copy of Photograph is better than a singular x3

[violet bear]

x16 over x4.5 do be an improvement

[signal frigate]

Welp, that's still better than selling one of your chads or photos lmao

[violet bear]

Or the percolator

photo on the first copy

[signal frigate]

It doesn't matter much here but Photograph still

You'll skyrocket in score

[violet bear]

Or well actually if you win without the extra 2x you can farm the lucky card

[signal frigate]

He will

Just farm luckies yeah

That's not a Baron angle.

Although

You have a lot of steels, your levels may kill you

Your high card is too low

You're gonna need a mime to justify taking it

Imagine next shop you do

[thorny axle]

pair op plz nerf

[violet bear]

And some more plutos

[signal frigate]

And you die anyways because ante 12 and 13

[violet bear]

Pair is indeed op

[signal frigate]

I think it's fine

It's strong for sure but it still has weaknesses

[violet bear]

The humble wall and the humble vessel

And the humble needle

[signal frigate]

Eye aswell

And needle yes

[violet bear]

Eye yeah

[signal frigate]

It's particularly weak to bosses

[violet bear]

Pretty much anything that doesn’t let you spam 5 pairs

[signal frigate]

I mean you can spam in VV and Wall

[violet bear]

Well yeah

[signal frigate]

You're just gonna need something to scale

[violet bear]

You bash against a wall but yeah

Pun intended

[icy hollow]

Lol

[signal frigate]

What's the deck in question?

[icy hollow]

Black deck

Ante 2

[signal frigate]

And what jokers

[lunar zealot]

i think

[thorny axle]

one must imagine siyshus with blueprint AND mail-in rebate

[lunar zealot]

i think i need to start making balatro videos

[icy hollow]

Hack and bean

[signal frigate]

I need to start making videos in general

[icy hollow]

Therefore I am

[signal frigate]

Mail is common

You'll get it back

[dark cairn]

i wish flushes were more generally viable
they're really fun to play around imo https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/lhnE456ErgVMJkDqL?invite=cr-MSxUV24sMzg1MjQ0MTcy&v=60

[violet bear]

I would absolutely let my intrusive thoughts win, sell the juggler and take both

[signal frigate]

With dice, I think it's not a bad take lol

I assume you have it

[violet bear]

But yeah mail comes around

[icy hollow]

Its ante 2

[lunar zealot]

honestly i want to start now

[icy hollow]

Black deck

Lmao

[violet bear]

You should

[icy hollow]

And it was more in general about the 2nd comment "bloodstone is really good"

Lol

[dark cairn]

bloodstone is cool
when it wants to be

i understand that thunk probably didnt want it to be way stronger than the other uncommon suit jokers but like

chance based 😔

[hazy roost]

Thats why you always take the speculative oops

[dark cairn]

if i take oops its more likely going to be for a space joker or lucky card/cat build than bloodstone unless i'm on checkered deck

or if it's white stake i geuss

[hazy roost]

then play on checkered deck

[thin finch]

uhhhhhhh
