[urban sun]

baseball card is not fucking useless what re you on

[serene forge]

weak mult that works on face cards only (bad)

[serene forge]

no dummy

[spiral cairn]

my luck is only face cards

[serene forge]

baseball card works with seance

[urban sun]

O

[bronze linden]

it is simply not as good as a number of other jokers - not bad in its own right but is quickly outscaled

[urban sun]

MB

[granite ridge]

5 is not weak compared to other options

[spiral cairn]

thank god dont get the plant

[urban sun]

apologies

[spiral cairn]

i had 2 mimes scary and smiley

thts a good combo no?

[urban sun]

the only reason i have superposition stickered is because i found a mr. bones 😭

[bronze linden]

scary and smiley will give scoring but the mimes wont help with those jokers

[serene forge]

so smiley face isn't actually good is what you're saying

[bronze linden]

were your other cards steel or gold maybe ?

[spiral cairn]

i havr red seal on most of them

[serene forge]

since you're just winning cuz of luck

[granite ridge]

ok i sold perkeo for golden joker does that make golden joker better than it

[spiral cairn]

no smiley is still good

[urban sun]

:pain

[spiral cairn]

its not the only joker i have bro

ra

[serene forge]

what does mime do here LMAO

[bronze linden]

mime doesnt retrigger the cards you are playing so you only had the red seals - the 2 mimes unless you have steel/gold/blue seals are not helping score

[serene forge]

mime is a good jonkler though

[urban sun]

i only have jimbo stickered for the common early game jokers

[spiral cairn]

also how does serpent work exactly

[spiral cairn]

what

it retriggered something

i got 600k in one hand

[serene forge]

retriggers cards held in hand

[spiral cairn]

i didnt hve any steel or gold

[acoustic kettle]

Gives 3 card

[spiral cairn]

in hand

[serene forge]

not played cards

lol

[bronze linden]

did you maybe have sock and buskin ?

[spiral cairn]

no

nothing

it was all normal

[bronze linden]

or steel cards in hand

[spiral cairn]

i know it said again like twice

[shell rock]

or raised fist

[spiral cairn]

for every card i played

[granite ridge]

steel most likely

[spiral cairn]

it was not steel

[urban sun]

😭

[shell rock]

was it a blue seal

[granite ridge]

seltzer or dusk

[spiral cairn]

no

[spiral cairn]

no

[serene forge]

true

[spiral cairn]

gang

nothing

[split minnow]

unseeded run on ante 5
what are our predictions
do i naneinf or throw on ante 7

[granite ridge]

red seal

[bronze linden]

well mime doesnt retrigger played cards so idk what happened

[shell rock]

the third option

[granite ridge]

dude this game has very narrow options

[spiral cairn]

diddy mentality

[serene forge]

show deck

[granite ridge]

every situation can be read easily

[split minnow]

Which is???

[urban sun]

is this abandoned deck?

[granite ridge]

how the hell did you spam react horses all at one like taht

[split minnow]

yeah

[serene forge]

yep you're totally going naneinf with this one gl

[spiral cairn]

also what is the point of verdant leaf

[split minnow]

if i dont ill drop the run seed

[serene forge]

i click fast

[spiral cairn]

it doesnt even do anything if you have enough mult jokers

[shell rock]

the one where you lose to cerulean bell because you can't select the cards you want

[urban sun]

its to make baron mime people hate themselves

[serene forge]

kills on-scored scoring builds

[urban sun]

also photochad runners

[split minnow]

fuck

[urban sun]

👍

[serene forge]

basically just plant but doesn't insta lose games for people who only ever run face card builds

[granite ridge]

its supposed to counter played/held in hand builds duh

[urban sun]

yknow that isnt a problem if you ✨ level pair ✨

[spiral cairn]

pleh

[brisk sandal]

Saved!

[bronze linden]

different types of builds are nerfed by different things

[shell rock]

actually yeah what hand are you building

[mild hazel]

Wow the game is harsh

[urban sun]

or just dont play a five card hand

[serene forge]

bait

[urban sun]

first time

[spiral cairn]

i feel you

[shell rock]

credit card in the buffoon pack. every single time.

[urban sun]

this is why yellow deck is superior

trust

[mild hazel]

For one time I seen a no malus blue print, i can't buy him

[mild hazel]

But which one tho

[split minnow]

going for mainly flush hearts

[granite ridge]

credit card in buffoon pack

[mild hazel]

[granite ridge]

the one with a credit card

[serene forge]

I hate Four Fingers

[split minnow]

Fuck my gros michel just went extinct

i might suffer

[shell rock]

oh

[urban sun]

lol

cavendish will show up next shop

trust

[granite ridge]

grass is green

[shell rock]

you should still try to win the run though

[urban sun]

i hate shortcut

without four fingers

[shell rock]

even without the moral support of michel

[granite ridge]

lmao skill issue much?

[serene forge]

I love Shortcut

shortcut is just fingers but good

[split minnow]

OH MY FUCKING GODDDDD

[shell rock]

i love four fingers it almost won me another gold stake toady

today*

[serene forge]

ok

[urban sun]

i prefer four fingers over shortcut anyday

[shell rock]

yippee!

just don't sell the run my guy

[split minnow]

IM ONE DOLLAR SHORT IF I SELL THE FUCKING DROLL JOKER

[serene forge]

also skip less

[urban sun]

sell showman

[granite ridge]

sell showman

[shell rock]

oh you didn't show the money

[serene forge]

where is your econ anyways

you need econ to naneinf

[shell rock]

yeah sell showman, invis joker can still show up later

[split minnow]

no clue what that means i have 50 hours on this game

[urban sun]

you'll need like 60 more ectos if you want to naninf

[granite ridge]

...

[coral hill]

Getting real close

[split minnow]

havent unlocked that yet 💔

[granite ridge]

bro slept for 50 hours midgame

[split minnow]

someone who's better than me can probably naneinf the seed

ill drop the seed when i lose

[granite ridge]

what have you been doing alldat time cuh

[split minnow]

going in blind

[granite ridge]

nah not every seed in naneinf-able

[split minnow]

i know

[granite ridge]

especially on non plasma deck

[split minnow]

but this one probably is

[split minnow]

true

[serene forge]

i thought this was a joke because it was abandoned deck

please dont say youre serious

[shell rock]

trust get that uhhh joker from cryptid

[granite ridge]

and youre on abandoned lmao

[split minnow]

im not lmao

[urban sun]

[acoustic kettle]

Shoot the moon ending to the moon's dreams

[split minnow]

oh well

[urban sun]

😭

[frank raft]

i just checked my dads hours on balatro he has more then Roffle 😭

[compact halo]

I got bored of attempting gold stake naneinf and just went for third c++ instead. It’ll be easier

[urban sun]

doesnt roffle have like 2000 hours

[compact halo]

What’s your dads discord

[coral hill]

While yorick feels bad to use on gold stake, it’s still strong

[frank raft]

he said in a recent video like 1500

[split minnow]

J713PV48

[acoustic kettle]

Roffle has that dad energy

[sly coral]

gold stake nanainf sounds so painful

[frank raft]

offline

[coral hill]

I got a chicot in this run as well, but sold it because i had matador

[sly coral]

I love roffle

[compact halo]

I feel like he also said that like last September

[frank raft]

my dad has 1830 💀

[urban sun]

yorick is a free win

[urban sun]

does he have c++ at least

[shell rock]

that is certainly a set of jokers right there

[coral hill]

Ios doesn’t track hours played unfortunately

[urban sun]

im like 400 hours in

[acoustic kettle]

Dads playing photochad out here

[compact halo]

If it did I’d probably total be over 2k I think

Including pc

[shell rock]

i have a lot of hours probably

[coral hill]

I’m maybe 500?

[frank raft]

no

[frank raft]

^

he just fishes for photochad runs

[urban sun]

379 hours

[compact halo]

Okay doing gold stake naneinf. It’s going to happen

[acoustic kettle]

😭

[sly coral]

i have 400 on pc and more than 100 on phone

[urban sun]

what has he been doing 😭

[shell rock]

ok i have at least 50, plus probably like 10 on pc and i don't know how to check on phone

[urban sun]

i should sleep

a

[acoustic kettle]

I fell asleep a lot blaying palatro on phone

[sly coral]

i just woke up guys

[acoustic kettle]

Uhh

[shell rock]

blaying palatro

[sly coral]

i feel asleep while playing plasma gold stake

[frank raft]

fishing for photochad

[acoustic kettle]

I see jimbo in my dreams

[frank raft]

he plays exclusivy ghost deck on gold stake and doesnt do anything else

[urban sun]

i think i've dreamt of balatro more than once

[shell rock]

based asf

[acoustic kettle]

Dad vs bean let's go

[serene forge]

I love Yorick

[shell rock]

i love triboulet

[sly coral]

ew

[urban sun]

i also love yorick

[acoustic kettle]

I love chicot

[urban sun]

that has to be seeded

[shell rock]

oh i saw this it made me happy

[frank raft]

the seed isnt red

[urban sun]

BRO

HOW

[frank raft]

that means unseeded

:)

[urban sun]

im aware

how good is 5 copies of jimb-

dies

[shell rock]

how good is 5 copies of blueprint

[acoustic kettle]

I hate photochad

[split minnow]

why would you ever need 5 copies of blueprint

[urban sun]

thats not photochad thats photophotophotochadchadchadchadchadblueprint

[shell rock]

idk for all that lucrative scoring ig

[sly coral]

good as the joker u r going to copy 5 times

[shell rock]

[sly coral]

better than popcorn then

[shell rock]

how good is chicot and 5 blueprints? (GONE WRONG)

[sly coral]

It’s eternal

[unkempt reef]

[unkempt reef]

[junior jasper]

[urban sun]

[unkempt reef]

[junior jasper]

[unkempt reef]

synergy with my mail too

[urban sun]

eternal mail in rebate

a

[junior jasper]

i love the live updates its like im listening to a transmission

[unkempt reef]

working on purple stake rn, only tryna go to 8 ngl

[urban sun]

you need to find an invisible joker

and make a fullhouse

[junior jasper]

unrelated but my friend on his second ever run on balatro got a soul card in the first pack, it was perkeo, and then it was also polychrome when he used the soul

[sour quail]

just knocked out my final orange stake 🔥

[junior jasper]

nicee

[sour quail]

gold stakes I have remaining are Green, Magic, Nebula, Ghost, Checkered, Zodiac, Painted and Erratic

[junior jasper]

the only gold stake i have is checkered deck rn

im going for ghost cause someone told me to

[unkempt reef]

look whos back 🔥

[junior jasper]

card face 👅

[sly coral]

jimbo

[unkempt reef]

rebate is poly now, cool

i dont even think i can lose this run atp

[junior jasper]

the mischevious plant

[unkempt reef]

highcard alone gets me over 2 million lol

im fine

[junior jasper]

[severe arch]

I tried to make money by playing a card that gives me money + blueprint to copy the joker that would make me money jsut to die cuz i realised it was the blind where you only have 1 hand this game stinks

[junior jasper]

card face with

[unkempt reef]

it doesnt matter

my base mult on high card is high enough

i already won

[pale grotto]

My guy, the only decks i have in golden are checkered and then Ghost, we are the same

[mortal summit]

Fire

[north schooner]

The mouth stikes again! The Eye awaits...

[mortal summit]

It’s the needle

[pale grotto]

The mouth killed me so many times

[vestal fern]

barbeque chicken alert

[north schooner]

Oh, I thought they meant one hand type

[mortal summit]

Nah I get it

[pale grotto]

I need to Focus more on pairs and less in 4oak

[unkempt reef]

welp

this is the end of this run

easiest run i think ive ever had tbh

Seed if anyone wants it: LBD8T5B6

[sour quail]

sure looks like it lmfao

[unkempt reef]

skip first blind for charm

[river kindle]

should i pivot?

[peak hearth]

How good do you guys reckon dr spectred is

[unkempt reef]

the best

no question

[peak hearth]

Tuff

[unkempt reef]

he got C++ with out losing a single time

[peak hearth]

I have no idea how one could ever reach this position and neither am I going to pretend I know what to do in this, so flip a coin and find out

[unkempt reef]

no he should not pivot lol he was joking

200 eris cards is way more mult

[peak hearth]

The "even though it's debuffed" line lives in my head

Is this mf genuinely just showing off now

I'm watching his fast52 performance and he's doing it all chips

All chips

What

[hardy fable]

he did all +mult on plasma:D

[peak hearth]

It boggles my mind how we both start a run in the same position and then he pulls out shit like this

I have so much to learn it's genuinely absurd

[hardy fable]

he did jokerless black deck

on gold stake

[buoyant fog]

I did jokerless gold stake too

[unkempt reef]

because its likely after the first shop he's already ahead of you, he makes use of jokers most people dont consider picking up, he knows exactly how to use each one to its fullest

[buoyant fog]

(I lost on ante 1)

[peak hearth]

"likely" it's a guarantee atp

I should get out of my comfort zone really

[sour quail]

lmao my run was going a little shakily but then in one shop I found rental blueprint, mime, death and chariot

[peak hearth]

I found two perishable bullshits in a row

Two

Perishables

Fuckkkk

[buoyant fog]

Oh boy I cannot wait to play a run of balatro

Perishable Zany Joker:

[peak hearth]

What ante was this on

[sour quail]

7

gold stake

[north schooner]

which video is that from?

[peak hearth]

Idk the video but it's on his aura farming video

Or the compilation at least

[north schooner]

Maybe the most important thing is he knows when to greed or not

[quartz ember]

yes you should
(if you just want max score)

[north schooner]

like.. is it worth throwing away hands to try to find that blue seal? It depends...

[peak hearth]

Is there a way to get half as good as him

[unkempt reef]

he also spends like 5 minutes on a decision most ppl make in 5 seconds lol

[mental elm]

hi

[unkempt reef]

he makes sure its exactly what he needs to do

[unkempt reef]

watch him

[north schooner]

he's also a math professor and has played more hours than anyone

[unkempt reef]

ive improved a lot jsut by watching how he picks up certain "bad" jokers and makes use of them

[peak hearth]

Because he thinks. A lot. He just rambles on about shit he knows he won't pick and moves on to another topic once theres literally nothing else to say

[serene forge]

I hate Jupiter

[peak hearth]

Low-key fav planet

Biggest one

Would love to live there

[serene forge]

fair

[peak hearth]

Also pretty

But fuck the planet card, scales like shit

I should probably moderate my language

[north schooner]

I think the first multiplayer tournament matches between him and roffle are fascinating to watch, because Roffle beats him but is still constantly learning from doc tech

[peak hearth]

Someone please educate this fool, why did doc lose to bean recently

[north schooner]

also I mean, the first multiplayer match they played, doc wiped the floor with him

[peak hearth]

To be expected

[sour quail]

ghost gold staked

[unkempt reef]

mutliplayer balatro takes a different approach than regular balatro

[quartz ember]

because bean happens to be (close to) the best multiplayer player

[unkempt reef]

you have different things to consider and bean plays a LOT of multiplayer

[quartz ember]

(also they played ghost white which is def beans specialty)

[peak hearth]

Is there an actual queue to join in vs

[peak hearth]

Ah yeah, doc agreed to that I remember

Humble man

[north schooner]

I too would like to be compressed into a sphere

[peak hearth]

Ante 7

12 minutes in

Random seed

Ok bro

[quartz ember]

check out the multiplayer discord

[unkempt reef]

i mean tbf he has a trib lol

but yeah he still made all the right calls after getting it

[peak hearth]

Oh I'm not entirely interested in competitive play just yet, my device happens to inhibit my capabilities to even access modifications and such

[north schooner]

phone gang

[peak hearth]

You get me

You're a real one

[peak hearth]

This is just absurd honestly

And here I am complaining about my luck

[serene forge]

I love Mime

[peak hearth]

High-key it's a skill issue

[peak hearth]

Hm who doesn't

[lavish quail]

best mult scaler in the game fr 😱 😱 😱

[peak hearth]

It's time to john

[peak hearth]

Is it?

[sour quail]

I just lost a run because space joker legitemately didn't trigger ONE time in over TWENTY HANDS

[north schooner]

the rental banana that would not die 😡

[peak hearth]

Nope!

[quartz ember]

always has been 🔫

[peak hearth]

Yo what happens when you go deep into the negatives with rentals

Do they just debuff

[quartz ember]

you dont have money

[north schooner]

no, they just keep you from getting out

[peak hearth]

What

[north schooner]

debt debt debt, unless you get a wraith or the Ox

[quartz ember]

you just dont have econ

[scenic sigil]

I've never had wraith or ox save me from a debt hole

[peak hearth]

Who could've thought that the ox could actually save you

[quartz ember]

which makes you lose unless your build is complete

[scenic sigil]

Usually it's run killing

idk if I've ever survived a debt hole

[north schooner]

No, you could also come back after a break and forget you were playing Ride the Bus

[scenic sigil]

I think one time with a good temperance

[quartz ember]

lmao

[north schooner]

Reset!

[peak hearth]

I hope the girl I like shatters my ribs with a ribcage punch

Would feel amazing

[north schooner]

spectral or buffoon?

[peak hearth]

That's how the ante2 big blind must feel when getting stuntmanned with no other jokers

[peak hearth]

Both lol

Oh damn forget it

It's rental

[north schooner]

spectral: 2 in 18 chance of usefulness (immolate, wraith)

buffoon: 1 in 1 chance of perishable rental showman

[peak hearth]

Wow I'm a fucking idiot

I thought you meant the tarot joker

Maybe spectral

[hallow vale]

Rn just getting money

[north schooner]

ok, maybe 3 in 18 chance of useful

[north schooner]

No worries!

[peak hearth]

What would doc do here

[north schooner]

Trance easy

[peak hearth]

Is this man unironically going handing in front of a crowd

[north schooner]

Actually! It's cartomancer, I can take it, get the tarot and sell it back before rent is due

[peak hearth]

Naneinf*

I am disabling autocorrect

Fuck You Gboard

[north schooner]

what event is that?

[peak hearth]

Fast52

[peak hearth]

Meaning you can even profit out of that wow

[north schooner]

Was totally the right play, too, thanks! Cartomancer into chariot into full house 1 hand clear

I wouldn't have thought of it if you didn't say anything

[peak hearth]

Even a fool can spout something resembling a proper thought every once in a while it seems

[brisk bluff]

I hate violet vessel

[peak hearth]

How do people even modify their deck to that degree like wtf

[brisk bluff]

💔

[peak hearth]

Eh you got it

[brisk bluff]

Square is 232

Wee is 360

Castle is 144

Im not winning

😭

[peak hearth]

It's not impossible

[quartz ember]

deeeeeeeth card

[peak hearth]

(I have no idea what I'm talking about)

[brisk bluff]

Barely scored 600k to win the last round

[peak hearth]

Maybe the sun woke up In a good mood today and kindly sent you an atom to change a bit in ur device and summon three battle passes

[brisk bluff]

More likely to send me atoms to lose instantly ✌️🥀

[peak hearth]

Wouldn't even be surprised

It's johning time

[faint badger]

Any tips to get 400$? I try to get unlock this joker

[peak hearth]

No idea honestly, wondering the same

[faint badger]

I could never save to 400$ lol

[peak hearth]

More than saving I'd imagine it's about making more than you're spending

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the notion I have for stable econ

[sour quail]

used an ecto to try free up a slot (im gold stickering) and apparently negative debuffed jokers dont actually give you a slot 😭

[sly coral]

play on plasma and just dont spend ur money unless u need to

[peak hearth]

You got balatroed

Gg

[frank light]

balatro moment

[faint badger]

Ill try, thanks

[sly coral]

a rebate can really help too

[peak hearth]

Wunderbar

[frank light]

people think yellow deck would be the best for it but its definitely plasma

[sour quail]

W triboulet gold sticker

[peak hearth]

Fuckin all sixes, sock, business card and John rebate would be a heavenly combo

[sour quail]

2 down, 3 to go

[peak hearth]

How'd you even find them that often

[sour quail]

?

wdym often

[quartz ember]

you dont

[sour quail]

i have 300 hours and have used a grand total of 61 soul cards

that's 5 hours per legendary

[peak hearth]

Am I seriously so far behind that I rely on frequency more than skill on its own

[sour quail]

?

[peak hearth]

Or are you all just gods at the game

[peak hearth]

What puzzles you, little one

I can provide answers if need be

[jagged torrent]

😔

[peak hearth]

Full house idk

I'd imagine the high card would win though

[tranquil cargo]

the non-steel 10, but put baron in front first (I'm assuming since you have baron mime you leveled high card a lot)

[jagged torrent]

Uhh it's lv 1

[tranquil cargo]

oh

[jagged torrent]

I've been broke the entire game

[willow turret]

Oh.

[peak hearth]

Just John it

[bitter python]

I'm in an awkward position- never gone naninf yet, but i feel like im in a really good position to do so here. What's the play here?

[tranquil cargo]

it's actually still enough

that 1 mult multiplies to 656.8

[jagged torrent]

I see so who do I coppy? TwT

[tranquil cargo]

copy baron

[jagged torrent]

Ty :D

[peak hearth]

Why not the fucking mimic oh yea

There's a lot of parallels between speedcubing and balatro surprisingly enough

[jagged torrent]

Do you have observatory yet? That could add a bit of mult until you find cryptid

[peak hearth]

Like, if you try new methods your performance will go to shit for a while and then return stronger than ever

Applies to both

[bitter python]

not yet, only had the opportunity to get overstock- my only voucher :/

[quartz ember]

it actually applies to everything ever if you think about it

[pine swift]

Was going for baron run found a trib

And the idol which is 50% online

[frank light]

trib/idol goes crazy

[heady narwhal]

i mean you can see that one of them is giving you a slot

since you have 6 joker slots

i guess it's just when you use ecto on a debuffed joker?

in which case does that mean you can lose joker slots on orange stake and above?

[grand peak]

I HATE THE MOUTH

[heady narwhal]

(get perishable -> ectoplasm on debuffed joker -> joker slots don't increase -> sell debuffed negative -> -1 joker slot)

[coral hill]

Finally got invisible joker

Supernova saved this run

[sour quail]

no

the lusty joker was nat negative

[marble hound]

Gotta put your trust in the heart of the cards

Wait I think that's the wrong card game

[tranquil cargo]

in this game, heart of the cards gets you killed by bloodstone

[marble hound]

Not unless you have your trusty dice

Diced up card that is, you need to shred Bloodstone into confetti and then not even celebrate with it

[white forge]

How can I improve this build

[tranquil cargo]

short of getting perkeo and observatory (which it's a little too late for even with 3 brainstorms) you kind of can't, it pretty much hit the ceiling of where it goes

[ocean lily]

finaly beat an orange stake :D

wees are at 672

[hearty warren]

2.4m violet vessel gameplay

[tranquil cargo]

world's most underwhelming perkeo

though I'm guessing you just used the death or whatever because it's the last boss

[ocean lily]

i just got it like previus round

and didnt find that much deck fixing before

[willow turret]

Perkeo, Vagabond = Erratic deck on fent

[quartz ember]

find negative perkeo, basically, then strength all 2s to kings and also get cryptid and get baron and mime (preferrably nat neg as well)

well, I guess non-negative works for now

[north schooner]

Here's how that run turned out btw

[tranquil cargo]

vagabond but you're secretly rich off of temperance

[ocean lily]

i got like 4 chads and a hack and they were all perishable 😭

finaly got a non perishable hack

[north schooner]

Turns out playing every hand to pump bus and groker is expensive, not that I had a choice, and never found an econ joker (aside from the nat negative credit card I picked up early for the sticker). Space Joker put in serious work, hit the first four pairs I played and kept going like that. The blue seal from shop 1 trance was key as well.

[north schooner]

Still hadn't found any xMult all the way until ante 6 so I picked up Loyalty card out of desperation, and it helped with the boss blinds. Stars aligned that it was always active during them even if it didn't oneshot.

[hearty warren]

if half of the hands you play to grow bus and grimbo are already hands you would be playing otherwise you're getting rewarded for doing what the gameplay loop already requires

it's technically $1 per hand but you have to play at least 1 hand per round anyways

[north schooner]

Grabbed Mr bones in the first ante 8 shop thinking I would skip to boss, but it was crimson heart and all my points were coming from jokers, so not sure if I could survive 5 hands. Figured one more shop would be good.

Got to the next shop and saw campfire. Sold Mr bones for it, and found one consumable per reroll. Arcana packs had a hermit then a temperance. Figured it should go into debt and skip straight there. So the negative credit card earned its sticker as well.

[tranquil cargo]

never trust mr bones against crimson heart

[north schooner]

Exactly. But instead I had to trust the reroll tag. It came up verdant leaf. I could have won a bus build with a pair of Queens if I didn't throw them away. 😂

Considered selling Spaceman so I could buy/sell jokers to pump campfire, but I held onto him because he earned that sticker. My man.

[formal abyss]

ive always wanted to do that 😔

[north schooner]

Vessel would have killed me I think

[verbal wren]

No crimson heart again sad

[tranquil cargo]

verdant leaf into a build that wants to sell a joker for campfire, funny synergy there

[north schooner]

Didn't need to sell anything though 😂 just face tanked the leaf

[hardy fable]

two ways

play plasma get bull and get econ(getting bull specifically is hard so this is pretty hard)

or anaglyph and just wait for big money skip

[west hemlock]

What’s the meta for blue stake? Build around 3 of a kind??

[north schooner]

Pairs

pairs are easy to draw and let you discard 3 other cards for free

And they work with a ton of jokers

[formal abyss]

venus is cool too sometimes but dont force it

[west hemlock]

What’s Venus

[formal abyss]

my bad

3oak

[west hemlock]

Oh right

I don’t remember the name of ANYTHING 😭

[sour quail]

gold stake moment

💔💔💔

[formal abyss]

pain

[willow turret]

Damn

[formal abyss]

this is why im scared of running madness

[willow turret]

Flash card doing marvels huh?

[sour quail]

16 mult is 16 mult

[formal abyss]

all im seeing is getting to sticker flash card

[sour quail]

unlikely .

[willow turret]

The tribe flash card and business card getting stickered

[pine swift]

Is it time to say bye to trib?

[worldly barn]

😭

[strange agate]

How do you streak PLASMA Gold Stake?

[sly coral]

i hate plasma gold stake

[strange agate]

Yeah. I have to practice

Bc it's gonna be my run killer

[sly coral]

i dont even want to touch plasma

[sly coral]

my deck rotation streak is 5 now

[strange agate]

I'm at 0 rn. Last run lost at green

Playing plasma rn

[sly coral]

im gonna play magic deck but im not confident

maybe i should skip to zodiac

[hardy fable]

got a winstreak of 5 but only played blue deck

[strange agate]

I just play them in a row

[sly coral]

thats what im doing too but i atleast want to get a personal streak record

[strange agate]

I think I can get to 6 streak almost consistently if I play yellow, blue, ghost, abandoned, checkered, Magic and red

[sly coral]

i can get to 30 streak if i just play zodiac😭

[strange agate]

Jeez

Sounds like a "nah, id win" moment

[sly coral]

ante scaling is okay but bosses sometimes kill me

[hardy fable]

uhh tails is c++ once again and heads is 200%

[sly coral]

ill start a random deck/stake run rn

and see how far i can go

[hardy fable]

was heads

[sly coral]

whats %200

[hardy fable]

Basically getting all the achievements again

God I have to beat black deck again

[median crystal]

how do i just swipe accross the cards and select all

[hardy fable]

ik it's a mod they use for that

[median crystal]

which

[hardy fable]

ask in #⚙・modding-general maybe

predicted fr

[autumn forge]

Erosion was fun, but it's time to go

[verbal wren]

Hopefully 4th blueprint

[sly coral]

time to go in debt

[autumn forge]

Fs holo was the one I didn't want it to copy

Probably should have just sold holo and maybe DNA as well

[spiral cairn]

if you have enough js sell dna

[verbal wren]

All 3 invis have hit blueprint

[lost fractal]

4th invis just hit the deck

[sly coral]

@strange agate this is how i die sometimes

[verbal wren]

Showman gonna give another bp trust

[rugged bloom]

I may not have a brain, gentlemen, but I have an idea

[verbal wren]

Scary face carrying as always

[rugged bloom]

Scary face being goated in Balatro does justice to how shit Scary face is in Pokemon

[random ice]

Plant incoming

[rugged bloom]

NO DON'T SAY THAT 😭

[random ice]

Scary Face is alright, very solid chipsolve but countered by a boss

For me, an ante 1-3 pick

[verbal wren]

Scary face can be good

[rugged bloom]

There's better moves

[random ice]

Typically I try and have enough planet levels to get rid of my Chips joker

[verbal wren]

Obviously

[random ice]

This is why Painted is goated, guaranteed straights means that Chips are unnecessary and with enough Saturns, Mult can be solved via base too

[verbal wren]

Or just get bp bp bp bp photochad and win

[random ice]

That's plasma

Not painted

Also it's endless

And white stake

[rugged bloom]

Hydrogen Bomb vs Coughing Baby

[random ice]

Anything can happen on white stake endless

[verbal wren]

Yeah I was trying to do bean bug again but just got alot of bp so I could naneinf if I get lucky

[random ice]

Only way to do NANEINF with photo Chad is Ecto ankh iirc

[verbal wren]

I'm not talking about with photochad with the bps

[random ice]

Ohhh you mean with baron mime

The same way 99% of naneinfs happen lmao

[verbal wren]

Yeah because almost every other way is stupidly hard too do and takes God rng

[random ice]

I mean, endless already is god rng

That's why I'm not a fan

You can do everything correctly in the ridiculous chain of events needed for endless

And still lose

Ante 8 gold stake is where it's at for me

[verbal wren]

I do both I just want to get naneinf again

[pure oasis]

• "Sorry, my liege, but i think i might still sit on the throne and you can begin amusing me now"

[verbal wren]

My deck is so far from baron mime

[tawdry burrow]

Look who it is

[pure oasis]

my deck bit closer, got even couple red polykings there too. Though no Baron needed this time. Missing director's cut. That theoretically can kill my run.

[lost fractal]

dont these have the same probability as soul

[verbal wren]

I think I just lose from the blinds without baron

[pure oasis]

yes, you need either Baron or Trib to beat the blinds.

gl in your shoppings!

Hope your wallet is thick enough

[stoic sky]

Unseeded run ante 1 soul

[verbal wren]

My wallet was almost drained I just got reroll this ante

[autumn forge]

What do we reckon... drop one of the holos or lose DNA?

Holos are at x11

[tawdry burrow]

Oh my god the switch version

[autumn forge]

Actually, the remaining holo is shit without DNA so surely it has to be dump a hilo

[autumn forge]

Lol what gives it away?

[tawdry burrow]

First time seeing someone actually play on it

The controller glyphs are cool though

[autumn forge]

Oh ofc

That would give it away

[lunar zealot]

ello ello

[lunar zealot]

turn your crt down

[lunar zealot]

it depends but the only way to get stronger is to drop a hologram

ante 15 hologram will never do more for your score than idol

[autumn forge]

The controls are actually really intuitive. They did a great job

[lunar zealot]

especially if you get any form of retrigger

red seal, hack, sock and buskin

[lunar zealot]

antes simply scale too hard for any joker bar the highest ceiling ones

bloodstone, aj, photo, triboulet, idol

baron

[autumn forge]

Yeah I sold a holo

[lunar zealot]

post a13 antes i mean

you can get away with a build like bus into 4 yoricks for ante 12

and then if you're lucky ante 13

[fickle sluice]

9 discards

[lunar zealot]

and 2 dollars

[stiff fjord]

damn

[verbal wren]

Now I pray for baron or I lose

[fickle sluice]

blame the ox

[lunar zealot]

unless you have rentals on white stake why do you have 2 dollars

[stiff fjord]

most i've gotten is like 6 or 7

[lunar zealot]

fair

[lunar zealot]

67?

[lunar zealot]

dude

put some blueprints on your chad

[rugged bloom]

Ew what a horrible free rare 😒

[fickle sluice]

greatest scam

[lunar zealot]

<@&1133519078540185692>

get em

[sly coral]

what do they even gain from this

[rugged bloom]

Is that a real ping 😭

[trim talon]

crazy shop

[lunar zealot]

holy

[tawdry burrow]

Wee

[verbal wren]

Alright im bad at balatro somehow still ig

[lunar zealot]

honestly the hiero might be good because you need to grow your wee or you die

[trim talon]

True

[tawdry burrow]

God that sentence will get taken out of context at some point or another

[trim talon]

Prolly selling burnt and todd

[autumn forge]

Ok now we drop dna

[autumn forge]

Lol or maybe it's still holo

[tawdry burrow]

Fair point

[verbal wren]

Do I get rid of chad?

[rugged bloom]

"A little bit of this, a little bit of that" aah Joker 😭🙏

[autumn forge]

Longterm is it better to sell holo here so I can restock my glass cards?

[lunar zealot]

show deck

[boreal oar]

dna isnt sticking around long term but is serving more than holo and gloker

[lunar zealot]

generally speaking the only optimal thing to do here is to sell photo and golden ticket and then buy baron rebate if your entire deck is red seal steel kings and you have enough hand size

[tawdry burrow]

Behold

My creation

[lunar zealot]

but you die because no mime

[lunar zealot]

otherwise if your deck is say

you don't have any steel cards

[autumn forge]

Yeah glass will probably go at some point too, but it's x27.25 rn whereas holo is only x11.75

[lunar zealot]

selling photochad for baron pivot puts a dent into your scoring i'll do the math

what's your hand size

[verbal wren]

I can roll for some I was just saving the glass incase I needed it too live

[boreal oar]

obvs sell the smaller one, 27x is giving you just over 1.25e (not how maths works but effectively is whats happening)

[lunar zealot]

this is assuming level 1 high card

[autumn forge]

Yeah I get ya

[verbal wren]

I think 7

[lunar zealot]

all into baron gives this

[west hemlock]

I already rlly hate blue stake

[tawdry burrow]

Holy mult

[trim talon]

lmao immediately got another glyph

[lunar zealot]

with steel kings this goes up tooooo

[boreal oar]

rejoice for it is to be changed

[tawdry burrow]

Are the glyphs any worth it

[west hemlock]

What

[lunar zealot]

and obviously mime makes it like 10x better

[simple jacinth]

I really wonder how/if blue stake will change

[trim talon]

Yes if you desperately need to scale a joker

[boreal oar]

blue stake is getting changed at some point, we get our discard back

[verbal wren]

So do I sell chad or money

[tawdry burrow]

Question still stands

[lunar zealot]

i think you have to take rebate here so replace golden ticket for rebate

[simple jacinth]

What would you do instead of removing a discard?

[fading dome]

Thunk was pretty clear about it changing was he not?

[lunar zealot]

for photochad into baron i think optimally speaking you want to sell chad here for baron? the difference is completely negligible

[simple jacinth]

Yeah, he did seem set on it but I wonder if that will change with time

[lunar zealot]

and it's probably better to go all in on baron

find hand size or die

find mime or die

[tawdry burrow]

Funny how I haven't ever gotten photo chad

[lunar zealot]

only way you survive

start rerolling

[simple jacinth]

In terms of stake progression it does make sense, I can see why it exists, but it closes doors

[boreal oar]

ive seen a few people talk about going to ante 10 as gold stake and push all the other effects down by 1

[lunar zealot]

ante 10 gold stake kek

[verbal wren]

So now I pray for mime by end of ante then

[simple jacinth]

Ante 10 gold stake sounds kinda gruelling

[lunar zealot]

vv with the 13.2 million score requirement

well no it's ante 8

WALL though

wall just kills you

[fading dome]

ante 10 sounds way too hard

[simple jacinth]

Yes it's more game but like... not every build that makes it to ante 8 will make ante 10

[lunar zealot]

it's hard enough getting 400k on gold stake

but you need to get 1.2m to beat vv

[tawdry burrow]

If I get like tribe + lustful joker it's GG with checkered

[lunar zealot]

so generally speaking your build MUST reach 1.2m

but if you still have 2 additional antes then your build MUST reach

[simple jacinth]

yeah, it makes the win con for essentially any build "beat vv"

[lunar zealot]

6.6 million

[simple jacinth]

which I think shuts down a lot of builds

[lunar zealot]

which just isn't possible for 80% of builds

ante 8 is the best place for gold stake runs to end

[simple jacinth]

like, there are some gold stake wins I've got where I've needed bones as my out, vv or no vv

[boreal oar]

1.2 already isnt easy to hit tbf

[lunar zealot]

not even considering wall

[tawdry burrow]

Wall and Violet Vessel can be deadly at times

[lunar zealot]

ante 10 wall kills you

like you can beat ante 8 vv

but your build wouldn't beat ante 10 wall

[fading dome]

some people talked about blue stake introducing a new sticker

[boreal oar]

idk if i wanna deal with more restrictions

[fading dome]

4th sticker possible on jokers in my shop, yay 🥴

[lunar zealot]

like just reminding you

[boreal oar]

gold stake already feels kinda ass alot of the time especially perishable

[lunar zealot]

ante scaling starts to get ridiculous the moment you hit ante 10

[fading dome]

yeah ante 9 would at least be somewhat doable as it still scales in line with the previous antes

ante 10 is insane

[lunar zealot]

and don't get me started on ante 11

ante 11 kills 30% of builds

ante 12 kills 95% of the remaining ones

ante 13 kills the final 3%

[verbal wren]

I'm saved for now

[lunar zealot]

very good

you can sell out of both photo and chad and fish for brainstorm/invis/showman now

you should have taken rebate

very bad misplay

[verbal wren]

I forgot lol it's 4 am

[boreal oar]

basically anything going past ante 12 needs on trigger xmult and them builds are not the play for gold

[lunar zealot]

exactly

[pine swift]

Who says negative skip tag is bad?

Okay it was bad. Lost the run 😂😂

[royal bobcat]

how surprising

i mean i did get a hologram from the negative skip on cruelty

but thats not like

something you should do

[boreal oar]

my best negative skip was a brainstorm

but usually its some perishable slop

[simple jacinth]

I think the only thing I'd really think about tweaking right now are the odds of things like stickers coming up

[autumn forge]

So annoying

One glass off winning

[simple jacinth]

Perishable and rental are good mechanics, but the only risk is that they starve the pool of anything practical

and at that point no matter how good your econ is, your practical options are too slim

[autumn forge]

That would have been my best run to date as well

Still haven't beat ante 17

[simple jacinth]

I think the odds right now aren't problematic, but they can make it difficult to get a run off the ground

[hardy fable]

imma get 200% fr🔥

[simple jacinth]

Probably skill issue on my part though

[twin lantern]

like, perishable on a polychrome

[simple jacinth]

I wonder how much of perceived imbalance in Balatro is really just (my) skill issue in disguise

[simple jacinth]

album title right there

[boreal oar]

just forces a higher econ barrier to entry which is fine you wanna make alot of money anyway but the haptic experience of rolling and rolling past things you would want but cant take gets pretty draining

[twin lantern]

like screw ts

[twin lantern]

what do you do when this happens though @boreal oar

[ivory sun]

oh no don’t disable hallucination such a hardship

[twin lantern]

L boss 😭

[wooden crown]

you skip

[boreal oar]

if its useful for the rounds it has i take it, if not im saving 15 bucks

[wooden crown]

assuming you have enough scoring to beat the final boss

[twin lantern]

why do i remember someone from trackmania from your name

[boreal oar]

it blows to see a perishable copy joker but its part of the game

[twin lantern]

no a WHEEL hit it, and i got it from a RARE SKIP

[twin lantern]

@boreal oar

[boreal oar]

then it was free and im rejoicing

[twin lantern]

😭

[wooden crown]

you paid in opportunity cost of jokers you dont get to see, buy etc and the money you dont make in the round

I mean @twin lantern if you still need to get the gold stake -it skip that all the way to the Bank, otherwise, feelsbad :(

[boreal oar]

im not making the argument for taking the skip but they asked me what id do if i had it and 1 brainstorm for 5 rounds can do serious work. maybe not as much work as couldve been done in the round but it can close the gap faster than other rare hits

[verbal wren]

I don't take this right?

[wooden crown]

hes ante 7, thats at most 6 rounds

if its fresh, two skips makes it

[jagged torrent]

Taking the -1 ant voucher in ant 8 is such a pain bruh

[lunar zealot]

Where the fuck is your scoring coming from

jesus?

Faith in christ?

Is prayer beating the blinds

[jagged torrent]

How much is each discard giving you?

[boreal oar]

the more important issue is having a bs with nothing good to copy, the man needs a value generator stat

[ivory sun]

i was ramping up my bus then i forgot i had it and then crashed it on the last boss

[wooden crown]

probably straights or odd cards flush houses

its abandoned

[verbal wren]

I get 25 per king and 200 per round

I need DNA

[jagged torrent]

Yeah keep it you'll need it to reroll for the serpent at higher ant

Just stock up on some moneys

:]

[verbal wren]

Yeah hopefully I get handsize voucher soon

[twin lantern]

23 luckies :p

prayers and worships yes 💀

[wooden crown]

😆 odd todd staring you down

[wooden crown]

yesterday I failed black deck gold stake crimson heart on a lucky proc

that never came

[pale wolf]

ante 7
round 15

tf are you doing lmao

[jagged torrent]

¿

[pale wolf]

that means like one skip an ante

maybe not skipping for one of em

bad play for trying to beat gold stake

[boreal oar]

ante 5 looks different these days

[jagged torrent]

I assume they had a scoring perishable. But yeah that's a lot of skipping for gold stake

TwT

[boreal oar]

the only place ive ever found skipping useful was challenges

and that was so that theyd finish sooner

as well as a couple throwbacks

[fading dome]

skips can be useful, just usually not multiple in the same run

[pale wolf]

skipping with a scoring perishable is so bad

unless it's literally to make it to the final boss and that's it

[fading dome]

yeah isn't skipping to save a perishable only decent if it's for the final boss?

[pale wolf]

like if you suddenly find yourself scoring 1.2 mil with perishable brainstorm in ante 4 then you can maybe full skip to the end

[foggy atlas]

I think only the tag that gives 25 bucks after beating boss is worth it in first ante

[pale wolf]

these are my thoughts

[jagged torrent]

That is the only reason I could think of since they don't have any negatives 🥀

[pale wolf]

negative tag is definitely not a reason to skip

A random Joker, in negative, with the same odds of being perishable or rental as before... for the price of an entire round of scaling and an entire shop of options

[jagged torrent]

It's very useful on high antes:]

[boreal oar]

i havent been in a position yet where id rather skip compared to seeing a shop and gaining in round value in gold stake

but maaybe i havent taken enough perishables

[jagged torrent]

Maby they did skips for money?

Idk

Man

[quartz ember]

especially since if its a good joker you can anyways buy it in the next shop

[lunar zealot]

also all 5 joker slots are rarely ever going to be too good to sell

you will always have at least 1 semi dud

negative tag is for nanlets who have bp bs baron mime rebate

or something

[boreal oar]

nanlets is crazy

[rancid widget]

this run was like. decent.

[lunar zealot]

if all 5 cards proc bloodstone you can beat the blind

on EVERYONE's soul that's gonna happen

[quartz ember]

trust

[jagged torrent]

we are dying br 💔

[rancid widget]

i once died cuz bloodstone decided to trigger zero times out of 10

[lunar zealot]

L skill issue

[quartz ember]

this is redemption!1!1!!!11!!

[boreal oar]

high odds bloodstone

[lunar zealot]

where tf is fork when you need her

[solid tapir]

fun run, started with pairs, ended with flush five idol

[rancid widget]

fucking bitch didn't trigger once

again

im not getting bloodstone ever again

*without dice

[solid tapir]

I had a bloodstone this run

*with dice

[lunar zealot]

kek

simply a difference in skill

[pale wolf]

where is bloobstone from

[simple jacinth]

the lore is apparently to do with an accident thunk had when he was younger

[pale wolf]

ok it's time to beat a gold stoke

[simple jacinth]

which, back in the glory days of chill chat, was not elaborated upon further

[rancid widget]

he dares to show up now

[simple jacinth]

gold stonk...

[jagged torrent]

I can't believe they named a rock after balatro:))
Thats so cool

[rancid widget]

i thought all the uncommon suit jokers were the things that thunk found on the beach

[simple jacinth]

onyx agate definitely was

[rancid widget]

oh yeah i was playing balatro in russian before and it was translated as heliotrope

[simple jacinth]

iirc it was some island off the southwest coast of america that I can't remember the name of

[royal bobcat]

thats a pretty cool rock

[simple jacinth]

never found out for rough gem or arrowstone

[royal bobcat]

very shiny

very cool

rough gem could be many things

[simple jacinth]

could be rough

could also be gem
