(who knows)

[royal bobcat]

and arrowstone is what you find with the shovel in the hit game red dead redemption 2

[verbal wren]

Is e58 enough for next ante?

[river kindle]

am i cooked

[verbal wren]

Nvm im saved

[verbal wren]

Invis clutch

[jagged torrent]

You should be fine but I'd recommend rolling down for a dna

[jagged torrent]

Oh shit

Lol

[verbal wren]

That's what I was attempting to do since ante 16 but shop only had 2 slots so it took forever

[jagged torrent]

Rebait for dna? You should still have enough tho

[verbal wren]

After ante 24 I can switch back and just reroll for serpent

Is this even worth at this point

[quartz ember]

it is (if you survive with it until you find next good joker)

[verbal wren]

I can survive this ante and next I'm 90% sure

[quartz ember]

i guess you have dna which you'd kinda wanna sell before

but even dna hit would be net positive by a little

[verbal wren]

It won't hit DNA trust

[jagged torrent]

Might be a waste if it hits dna

[jagged torrent]

Based and gambler pillled fr

[coral hill]

Got satellite gold sticker finally

Probably one of the weaker econ jokers

The hassle of unlocking it isn’t worth the mid joker

[verbal wren]

It hit DNA

[coral hill]

It’s a really awkward one to buff

[jagged torrent]

Immediately punished 😔

[coral hill]

If you just double it, it could be overkill

[verbal wren]

Not punished

[coral hill]

Especially if you are on constellation runs

[verbal wren]

It never happened

[shell dagger]

If the goal is naneinf then it’s completely pointless

[verbal wren]

Alright

[coral hill]

Supernova has been a run saver

[shell dagger]

All you needed to do was replace dna with burglar or parking into burglar and you had it

[jagged torrent]

I mean you could get a showey and get another blue jonkler

[coral hill]

Retroactive scaling is wild

[shell dagger]

Ecto 2 means u need another copy joker

[jagged torrent]

:]

[verbal wren]

I savescummed it so it never happened

[jagged torrent]

Loll

[pale wolf]

if balatro is so good wheres balatro 2

[jagged torrent]

@ sex update when?

[verbal wren]

I need more kings first do you know how many I need for it?

[coral hill]

Tbh i’d rather have thunk make something new instead of balatro 2

[quartz ember]

how does it change anything, you get the hand size back from dna

[atomic forum]

are you not ready for the balatro cinematic universe

[languid thicket]

Uh what

[glass creek]

The Balatro Movie

[pale wolf]

you already had the hand size from DNA

[stiff fjord]

jimbo funko pop

[pale wolf]

so you lose it until you get brainstorm back

[quartz ember]

no but for naneinf, you would sell DNA for burglar

now you dont need to sell it

like, having n copiers, you can never go wrong with using ecto n on DNA, or am I just very bad at math (unless you end up at <0 hand size :D)

[jagged torrent]

Petition to cast Jack black as jimbo<3

Hack was in my first shop.

is it the time for obelisk pivot

Oh come on

[stiff fjord]

true

[atomic forum]

card

[pseudo forum]

Im saving seed for yellow deck

[twin lantern]

hmmmmmmmmm

[twin lantern]

that's why you always take retriggers :p

[shell dagger]

yeah

the 4 blueprint setup is already very tight

-2 hand size kills you with the normal setup

a violet vessel scare into heiroglyph which turned out to be unnecessary

[jagged torrent]

I mean it'd be a good update. trust 😔

[shell dagger]

i think it’s doable if you don’t take heiroglyph and have nacho tongs but still not good advice

un-scratch that, it does make beating ante 24 way harder

[boreal sorrel]

any reason why i didnt get completionist+ after i beat my last gold stake?

my internet died on one of my runs idk if that affected anything?

[shell dagger]

Yep you go from e87 to e73 if you take ecto 2 and fail to make use of it

In ante 24

Hence you die

[zinc karma]

Didnt want to risk it for a joker that works for only one joker which is rare

Btw

Small wee

Sadly

[shell dagger]

maybe small, but certainly big enough to go all the way

[atomic forum]

i sure do love obelisk

the end is in sight

[tawdry burrow]

Good run I guess

Had these jokers and observatory voucher in tow

The blue seals definitely carried me

[plush osprey]

observatory goated fr

can even make flushes work

[tawdry burrow]

I went "observatory would go clutch here"
Beats ante 7
Observatory appears

[atomic forum]

wrathful joker, mime, seance, luchador, stone joker, seltzer, acrobat, flower pot, matador, the family

i wonder if i should switch from anaglyph

[tame monolith]

I was watching a Balatro uni video, he has a perished joker so basically a free slot and a rental matador in the shop, the tooth is next round why does he not take it “because it’s a rental”

[plush osprey]

definitely

just play yellow

[tawdry burrow]

Checkered is funny

You can play flush every round

[atomic forum]

anaglyph does not help enough with so little jokers remaining

[tame monolith]

Like why not just sell it before the round ends it costs nothing if u do that and u gain money from its effect??

[tawdry burrow]

And flush spades with arrowhead and wrathful goes insane

[atomic forum]

plasma could be good too for stone joker run

[plush osprey]

what was the perishable?

[tawdry burrow]

I should try the Typecast challenge some day

[tame monolith]

Faceless but if was devuffed

[plush osprey]

oh yeah doc is human

[tame monolith]

Nah that’s such a simple play lmao I “borrow” rentals and I’m a complete noob I’m just confused why he never does it when he does way more complicated things for less money

[zinc karma]

God protect you from my envy

[plush osprey]

it’s easy to see other people’s mistakes

[tame monolith]

Yh ig

Like I wouldn’t rlly point it out if it was a one off I just feel like I’ve seen that same kinda rental situation so many times where he doesn’t consider it’s one round use

So I thought there was maybe smth more to it

[lyric shore]

matador doesnt trigger on tooth lol

[terse vale]

no

[jagged torrent]

no barron?

[terse vale]

how many high card levels do you have how many kings do you have and have you seen the plant

[lyric shore]

and why baron when you are doing chips plasma

[terse vale]

even if you have seen the plant baron is neverrr the play

[tame monolith]

Well there’s my answer then what’s the point of adding lol then mate

[lyric shore]

i thought all the confusion was kinda funny when the answer was that simple, no harm meant

[pale wolf]

lol

[jagged torrent]

I have 18 red seal steel kings

[tame monolith]

Yh

[jagged torrent]

So I kinda thought he'd be good

3 lvs in high card

TwT

[naive jolt]

Random Natural Negative Stencil Jumpscare

Only the 2 hardest challenges left

[royal bobcat]

i think golden needle is harder than both of those combined

[somber charm]

They tricked me, erosion is even worse on abandoned deck

[shell dagger]

bus better anyway

[pale wolf]

cruelty isn't really that hard

golden needle is prob the hardest one yea

[naive jolt]

Golden needle was easy for me, i did it on second try

OK maybe a bit more if you count the rerolls

Here's the first try

Here's the second try

[zinc karma]

I mean, an uncommon simply giving u +48 mult for free is way too broken

[plush osprey]

erosion is alright

[red thistle]

Emiman.

[naive jolt]

Me when the boot exist

[red thistle]

Free and boot in the same sentence.

[zinc karma]

Money needed

In abandoned, erosion would literally just give +48

[naive jolt]

It's fine

[red thistle]

Yea but it doesn't.

[zinc karma]

U dont have to do anything

[red thistle]

Because thunk likes balancing.

[zinc karma]

Thats why i said "would"

[red thistle]

Oopsie.

[fluid wedge]

What hand is 5 stone cards

[naive jolt]

Uh ? How

[lunar zealot]

https://files.catbox.moe/ia7cjp.jpg

chat should i buy clearance

[naive jolt]

Yes

[lyric shore]

why not

[lunar zealot]

no uncommon xmult and 4 eternal jokers is sending me

[ember turtle]

pros:
hell yeah money
cons:
25% temperance nerf... no more dopamine

[lunar zealot]

find hologram or something

[lyric shore]

bbc can do everything

[ember turtle]

going for stickers

[lunar zealot]

rocket has to go soon for a xmult

hologram probably

[ember turtle]

rocket is buffing my bull rn

economic wise i'm doing very good

[lunar zealot]

you're ante 4

[ember turtle]

so yea ig rocket won't be as good

[lunar zealot]

blinds will scale too hard

[ember turtle]

true...

[lunar zealot]

rocket only gives x1.5 and some amount of chips

have to replace for even something like card sharp or bb

bb or hologram wins here

[ember turtle]

card sharp would be awesome because i'm pair slopping rn

[lunar zealot]

bb makes it a bit harder to utilize raised fist

and hologram starts at x1

you have money so reroll if possible

[pale wolf]

pretty wild balatrodle in 4 ||absolutely brutal 50/50 between certificate and cartomancer, same ability, cost, rarity, even number of characters in the name and starting letter. BRUTAL||

[lunar zealot]

scratch that

Reroll

just keep rolling

i forgot hallu is common

hmmmm

40 dollars...

[distant sable]

Got 2 invisible jokers and they both copy my perkero 💔 and i didnt get a red seal until like anti 14 or smthng.
Still was fun! Decided not to finish it cs it just didnt feel satisfying to be the first time i get it

[lunar zealot]

you have to play blinds

get money and find a xmult joker

[ember turtle]

you're right i got 18$ from it

22$ is not worth skipping a shop

also i found a constellation

[unreal island]

Highkey getting ultra lucky with these white stake plas runs

Also the scaling is soooo forgiving

[lunar zealot]

gg i think?

You need to turbo scale it

[lyric shore]

starting with bloodstone 💔

[lunar zealot]

but it should be good since you have enough scoring during

thanks to bbc

[unreal island]

What the axtual shit LMFAO

[left elm]

Literally got pareidollia before plant

[pale wolf]

it's a great balatrodle starter

tells me a lot of info about if its a cheap/expensive common/uncommon/rare

and xmult covers telling me its xmult, or if it's potentially +mult or +mult/chips

if its not close to the price but is still uncommon, it's oops, the only uncommon under $5, and if its close to the price, but under, and not uncommon, its a smaller set of expensive commons

Goated start

[unreal island]

What the fuck LMAO???

[kind cloud]

Yeah I got ankh and invis, BP was in first shop

[plush osprey]

i like the devil

you buy it for 3 dollar

[river slate]

OUIJA GAMBLE PAYED OFF

[kind cloud]

Then used a judgement and got bs

[river slate]

FINALLY

[plush osprey]

and then it gives you 3 dollar

[cosmic seal]

King DNA

[cosmic seal]

havent had a king run yet

[cyan ocean]

should i swap one of my jokers for this

[plush osprey]

no

[cosmic seal]

whats the boot do again

[cyan ocean]

mult scales with dolla

[cosmic seal]

econ card with a flush build

[cyan ocean]

it's at +22 rn because i have 55

[cyan ocean]

i dont understand what this means 😭

[river slate]

frfr

[hardy fable]

why, if they'res a suit boss just skip but if you're winning without needing one of the jokers, sure sell it

also why do you have boots with aj, the aj will always proc b4 boots

[cyan ocean]

the what will what the what
please speak to me like a toddler i havent played a lot

[plush osprey]

they have 7 balatrillion dollars

[hardy fable]

a,

why you have jokers that score on card but have joker that score after cards, they not synergize

[brave fox]

Ive been using anaglyph deck all night, its starting to be my fav deck so far

[cyan ocean]

like which ones

[cosmic seal]

when you have ancient joker and forget to check which suit before blind flips all jokers

[cyan ocean]

card sharp and ancient?

[cosmic seal]

splurt

[cyan ocean]

splorb

[hardy fable]

nah they're fine since x mult but having boots isnt that uhh efficient, say you have a base mult of 4, if you do x mult first, let's x2 so 8 then +2 mult so 10 but if you do 4+2x6 will be 12 which is what's happening with aj and boots, the aj is doing x mult first before the + mult, I mean it's understandable you have boots if there's nothing better but having an econ joker or a utility joker can help with deckfixing for your flushes

[jagged torrent]

What the helly let's goo?

[wintry ice]

you could sell boots ig

boots is notouriously bad

[cosmic seal]

if you sell boots how much are you maxing out at

can you still bea tthe next blind

[wintry ice]

they're using bp aj

[cyan ocean]

it's currently at +22 mult

[wintry ice]

i don't think scoring is much of an issue

[cosmic seal]

LOL

[median kiln]

Is there any way to check the seed after beating 8th ante and not dying

[wintry ice]

the seed should be on the win screen

[cosmic seal]

go for squirt bottle

[cyan ocean]

and i did get 300k+ on ante 5 boss but my game speed is at 4 and i can't see what happens

[cosmic seal]

reroll til squirt

[median kiln]

I accidentally clicked endless

Without seeing the seed

[wintry ice]

lose

[median kiln]

I said without losing

[wintry ice]

you can't

[median kiln]

Fuck

[wintry ice]

without some mod or whatever

[cosmic seal]

never played seed

[cyan ocean]

ok so next boss is club debuff but since im on ante 6 i was going to keep it until 8 to disable boss blind there, unless it doesnt unlock it for you (which then ill probably just not buy it)

[cosmic seal]

keep a useless joker in case the debuff is sell one card or all card debuffed

[cyan ocean]

should i swap one of them for the jolly?

actually ill decide when i know what the ante 8 boss is

[polar cargo]

fragile challenge

[cursive lion]

Ideal run for mad world challenge?

[cursive lion]

Glass joker 🔥 🔥

[polar cargo]

find it kinda funny

[cosmic seal]

LOL

[cursive lion]

Nat negative gros Micheal 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

[cosmic seal]

the negative banana

[cyan ocean]

this seems good should i swap it for something

[cosmic seal]

yes man

swap it for the boot

[cyan ocean]

ok

[cosmic seal]

the squirt bottle

[cyan ocean]

i think thats enough chips..

[wintry ice]

might be

[cursive lion]

I feel like indie jones in the first movie where he is pondering the ancient wonder

Fuckkk this could’ve been golden

I wish I was able to find an ecto 💔

[cyan ocean]

idk if i should do this because for all i know it could be "yeah screw you i disable all your cards" or some shit like that

[cursive lion]

Well were you able to comfortably reach 300k

[brave goblet]

with blueprint ancient you can beat violet

[tawdry burrow]

Are you strong enough for 300k

[hardy fable]

gets bell or heart:

[cursive lion]

For whom the bell tolls

[cyan ocean]

you should look up

[cursive lion]

Yeah you should be fine

[unreal island]

why the fuck is bootstraps still alive

KILL THAT BITCH!!!!!!

[cyan ocean]

alright
but i NEED a full house with at least 1 heart first

[wintry ice]

you already scored more than vessel

it's not a problem rn

[cyan ocean]

true

[wintry ice]

are you not using flushes?

[cyan ocean]

no

[wintry ice]

weird

[cyan ocean]

i rarely get them

[brave goblet]

🤯

insane

[wintry ice]

that's usually the strat you want to go for with ancient

so you maximise triggers

[cyan ocean]

oh shit yeah
ill try for a flush then

i fordor

[brave goblet]

inb4 level 1 flush

[unreal island]

kids be like "omg gros michel!"

little do they know "Extinct!" is coming 🤣 🤣

[cyan ocean]

hmmmm

[wintry ice]

well it doesn't matter now if one is a much higher level

[cyan ocean]

yeah

as seen here

house is better

[wintry ice]

full house is never really a hand you should go for

[unreal island]

third worst build to go for 🥀

[wintry ice]

generally it's better to save the pair for a second 3oak

outside of ante 1 and maybe trib

[cyan ocean]

😭

[cursive lion]

The fungal infection that threatens near extinction is coming 😂

[brave goblet]

gros michel going extinct is great!

unless you actually need it

[unreal island]

i've played balatro for hundreds of hours (probably) and i've never seen cav go extinct

(me playing balatro)

[brave goblet]

neither have I

[cyan ocean]

if i win a run on 12 rounds do i still get the whatever you get

[unreal island]

just realized

100 hours of balatro is like

20-100 naneinf rounds

[wintry ice]

yeah

[wintry ice]

i've seen it happen like twice

[unreal island]

r u going for triple dead jimbo

[stuck dagger]

I got gold stake on the third deck now, i feel happy

[unreal island]

or are u just gonna have two ++ save files

[wintry ice]

just 2

[unreal island]

is the last one for dicking around

[wintry ice]

idk if i want to go for it a third time

i don't even use my thind profile

i've been playing hollow knight instead

[unreal island]

yooo

i bought it recently

is purdy fun

[wintry ice]

what's purdy

[jagged torrent]

I had two back to back runs where it dies 😭

[unreal island]

literally a one in a million chance

still more probable than blueprint showing up while having showman

[cedar shell]

imagine if stone was comptabile with other enhancements

[jagged torrent]

I mean you can add a seal to it but yeah would be cool

[wintry ice]

that's more probable than a baron setup

[burnt topaz]

So some of you might remember me smack talking ride the bus and genuinely not being a fan of it…

[ivory sun]

67 yorick hologram poggers

[cedar shell]

why would you do that?

[burnt topaz]

I take everything I said about scaling +mult jokers back

[cedar shell]

scaling +mult jokers are genuinely insane

[unreal island]

lowkey the hardest part about baron runs is deciding where to hide the white stake plasma deck

[cosmic seal]

i havent did a baron run yet

[burnt topaz]

I still think that red card might be a bit too difficult to scale but I’m willing to accept that it’s good

[cosmic seal]

or a flush five

[wintry ice]

actually i should have said idol

because it's genuinely the potential joker

[cosmic seal]

whats the point of the idol

[wintry ice]

you just have to decide if the contents of the pack are better or worse than +3 mult

[cosmic seal]

you have to discrad until you find one card

[wintry ice]

and usually it's worse

[wintry ice]

endless

except not even endless because baron exists

[burnt topaz]

39 mult per hand, 300 chips per hand, x1.5 mult twice, +10 from holo, plus my level 8 straight is too hot to handle.

It’s not a god run or anything, but it’s pretty impressive

[cosmic seal]

the ancient squirt

[cedar shell]

idol builds will center around making your entire deck one rank and suit, and idol will be guaranteed to give x2 mult on that card

[cosmic seal]

my tiny brain only recognizes flush

[burnt topaz]

Play the all 10s seed

[cyan ocean]

HOLY SHIT

[cosmic seal]

wow its a jupiter

[ivory sun]

i accidentally killed chad 🙁

[burnt topaz]

Wasn’t expecting fertilizer to be on a 1M hand

Gotta admit

[cosmic seal]

FLush smooth brain

[cyan ocean]

i dunno what fertilizer is but i got 12M on one hand

[hardy tartan]

i think thats a few

[burnt topaz]

Alright

[burnt topaz]

The power of hack and wee joker

[burnt topaz]

So both of you guys have only 1 remaining?

[vocal rose]

wait is 5 the worst or best

[burnt topaz]

5 is worst

[cedar shell]

i only have 1 left

[wintry ice]

oh

then 2

perkeo is good but it's economy isn't likely to be better than an xmult joker

[burnt topaz]

Perkeo at 4 is actually wild

[cosmic seal]

you dont need bones if you build a good deck

[wintry ice]

not really

[cedar shell]

this is like an ante 8 tierlist

[formal abyss]

bp, trousers, camp, perk, bones for me

[burnt topaz]

I mean if I have Mr bones on ante 8 I’m cruising through

[wintry ice]

it's a ranking of 5 very usable jokers

[cedar shell]

when i find perkeo i just kinda copy hermit and let him sit around on my lineup

[burnt topaz]

Alright

Consumables without knowing what comes next

[wintry ice]

also not every build can get past the brick wall that is violet vessel in gold stake

specially because blue stake almost forces pairs

[burnt topaz]

1-5

1 being best

Fool

[cedar shell]

1

[wintry ice]

1 or 2

[unreal glacier]

Or temperance depending on the other jokers in the lineup. Perkeo is pretty much a 20$ econ joker in most cases

[cosmic seal]

blue stake checkered deck

[burnt topaz]

Wheel of Fortune

[unreal glacier]

Or a death machine if you happen to have glass

[cedar shell]

ok i actually love wheel

[undone laurel]

I think I got 4 stickers out of this

[cedar shell]

solid 3 i think

[wintry ice]

yea but it's not always going to be better than fast scaling scoring

[undone laurel]

Dusk, faceless, juggler and AJ

That's four

[wintry ice]

wheel is a 4

[cosmic seal]

ancient joker is uselss on checkered

[wintry ice]

i spin it if there's nothing better

[cedar shell]

editions on jokers are almost always helpful unless you ecto block the wrong joker, but also helpful to ecto block the right one

[burnt topaz]

My previous run on 15 minute city I got 2 wheel procs in a row using a poly oops all, but the oops all just kept on breaking my glass cards and it doubled the cards face down during the wheel

[cyan ocean]

didnt know i just didnt do straights

[unreal glacier]

Sure but even then it's just a golden joker if you have any planet cards or tarot cards

It's just generally nice to have but gets sold if you need to score

[wintry ice]

it's usually worse than just taking guarranteed value

[cosmic seal]

flush smooth brain

[wintry ice]

pretty much

[burnt topaz]

Planet C

*X

[cyan ocean]

i love flush

[cedar shell]

ok im not great about 5oak

i dont really like to unlock it if i have potential for eris

4

[unreal glacier]

5oak is quite inconsistent anywya

[cedar shell]

1. Fool
3. Wheel
4. Planet X

[wintry ice]

4oak is already good enough

[unreal glacier]

Unless you have crazy deck fixing

[wintry ice]

5oak is just pointless because of that

[shell dagger]

I’d put it at 5

[wintry ice]

yea

[shell dagger]

I’d rather have lovers

[cosmic seal]

DNA

[wintry ice]

arguable worst planet in the game

[cedar shell]

there is going to be something worse

[burnt topaz]

Grim

[cosmic seal]

5oak abandoned deck + DNA

[shell dagger]

I don’t rate anything lower than it though

[unreal glacier]

Mhmm flush house and full house are probably worse imo

[shell dagger]

So for me there won’t

[wintry ice]

i love fucking over the chance of getting seals for the sunk cost fallacy hand type

[unreal glacier]

Or well maybe not

They're like same tier

[wintry ice]

flush house has a reason to exist due to it's scaling

full house is a contender though

[cosmic seal]

fuck scaling

[unreal glacier]

I guess?

[burnt topaz]

Guys I said grim

[cedar shell]

1. Fool
3. Wheel
4. Planet X
5. Grim

[wintry ice]

3

[unreal glacier]

Full house is cheeks

[burnt topaz]

Finally

[wintry ice]

i'd rather take grim than planet x

[burnt topaz]

I think ivy might have a perfect ranking

Mars

[cedar shell]

it took me a second to remember the spectral, i was thinking why are we bringing up green joker

[wintry ice]

2

[shell dagger]

grim is not worse than Planet X so nah

[cedar shell]

1. Fool
2. Mars
3. Wheel
4. Planet X
5. Grim

[burnt topaz]

Vic has

1. Fool
2. Mars
3. Grim
4. WOF
5. Planet X

[shell dagger]

i didn’t join chat early enough to begin

[cedar shell]

what about stakes rated based on how interesting or fun they are

[pale wolf]

why isnt black hole the best consumable

🙂

[burnt topaz]

Because it wasn’t on my list

[cedar shell]

black stake

[burnt topaz]

I chose 5 random, and we ranked them in order

[burnt topaz]

Introduced tags to jokers, it’s a new step in the game, I’ll go 2

[wintry ice]

black stake is a 1 or 2

[tawny ridge]

new player, my best run yet :)

[burnt topaz]

Im gonna regret not putting black at 1 but I don’t care

[cedar shell]

gold stake

[wintry ice]

the increased possibilities with madness, ankh and hex are cool

[burnt topaz]

Still haven’t beat gold stake

[wintry ice]

rentals are a neat way to test your resource management

probably putting it on 2

[shell dagger]

black stake 1 gold stake 2

[burnt topaz]

I’ll do 3 purely because I don’t know

[cedar shell]

white stake

[burnt topaz]

White stake 1

[shell dagger]

5

[wintry ice]

it's the base stake

[ivory sun]

evil egg

[wintry ice]

4 incase blue stake is an option

[shell dagger]

shit

[cedar shell]

hes too smart

read me like a book

blue stake

[burnt topaz]

5

[shell dagger]

6

[burnt topaz]

All my homies hate blue stake

[wintry ice]

10

[burnt topaz]

There’s not even 10 stakes

lol

[cedar shell]

wait what are even your lists atp

[wintry ice]

restricting builds is that terrible

[burnt topaz]

1. White
2. Black
3. Gold
5. Blue

[shell dagger]

1 black 2 gold 4 blue 5 white

[wintry ice]

1. black
2. gold
3. idk
4. white
5. blue

[cedar shell]

i was debating between purple and orange

i think ill just go with orange

[shell dagger]

both fit in 3 for me

[cedar shell]

ACTUALLY NO

[wintry ice]

both would go there yeah

[cedar shell]

red

[shell dagger]

so that’s chill

[lunar zealot]

i actually really like green stake

[wintry ice]

same for that

[lunar zealot]

I think green stake should be the default

[burnt topaz]

I hate red stake, genuinely, I’m more than happy with that at 4

[lunar zealot]

and there should be an easy mode

that has white stake scaling

[wintry ice]

the modifier is a bit rough for the first stake above white

[burnt topaz]

Alright

[shell dagger]

is this the stake effect in isolation or is it how fun each stake is to play

[lunar zealot]

red being so early makes it good

[burnt topaz]

Rank these things in Balatro from 1-10 without knowing what comes next

[cedar shell]

i remember doing my first couple green stakes i would just die ante 4

[wintry ice]

though ig the intent was to make people learn to manage interest

(it did not work)

[burnt topaz]

It could be a joker, deck, stake, consumable, tag, blind, etc.

[lunar zealot]

it just makes people skip small blind kek

[cedar shell]

no reward vs $25

a person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts

[wintry ice]

investment tag is the best thing you can get ante 1

[cedar shell]

i like ante 1 coupon tags

[ivory sun]

gg it was fun while it lasted

[burnt topaz]

Alright

Ultimate Balatro Blind Ranking

1-10 it could be anything

Let’s start off with Ox

[wintry ice]

they're too volatile usually

[lunar zealot]

i mean 8

[wintry ice]

it's like 15$ of completely random value

[lunar zealot]

it's bad if and only if your +chips comes only from mercury

[shell dagger]

Ox as in how fun it is or how easy

[wintry ice]

compared to 25$ that you can spend on anything

[shell dagger]

What are we ranking based on

[burnt topaz]

How much you like it

[cedar shell]

i no like ox

7

[lunar zealot]

I like ox

in concept

[shell dagger]

I found other ifs haha

[lunar zealot]

so like 4

[shell dagger]

6

[wintry ice]

ox is a neat concept

[burnt topaz]

Like the metroc is hard to call

When we’re including so many things in Balatro

[cedar shell]

i like most things in concept, but im viewing this list as im playing a run

[shell dagger]

The credit card synergy is nice

[lunar zealot]

ox and wraith yuri?

what are we thinking chat

[sly coral]

🤔

[burnt topaz]

I’m waiting for Vic’s ranking

[lunar zealot]

Yuri or yaoi

[sly coral]

yaoi

[wintry ice]

idk if i'm participating

[cedar shell]

wraith is a guy i fear

[burnt topaz]

Alright then

I’ll move on

[lunar zealot]

Or some other forbidden pairing where a girl makes out with a guy

[sly coral]

Yeah wraith is a guy

[lunar zealot]

shudders

[wintry ice]

ranking miscellanious things is hard

[burnt topaz]

Cavendish

[lunar zealot]

God could you imagine

[lunar zealot]

Like 5

[cedar shell]

the indecency

4

[lunar zealot]

i like cavendish but it's very

[sly coral]

thats crazy bro i cant imagine

[lunar zealot]

What's the word

too meh

[pale wolf]

conditional

[lunar zealot]

like

X3 mult for free

wowww

i would rate banana 1 if it were uncommon

Actually no banana is 2

even if uncommon

bc 1 is for bbc my goat

[burnt topaz]

@shell dagger ?

[burnt topaz]

I can’t remember what’s that an acronym for

[sly coral]

is there any common Xmult jokers other than cav

[lunar zealot]

Foto

[cedar shell]

i like it when my +mult is cruising and im desperately searching for xmult and hey banana!

[lunar zealot]

fotoched

[sly coral]

oh right

its so useless i lwky forgot

[burnt topaz]

Alright rt died

Let’s move on

Negative tag

[cedar shell]

ok so negative tag is bad

but im just a girl let me take it

8

[lunar zealot]

10

[burnt topaz]

Jupiter

[lunar zealot]

9

[wintry ice]

it's function is kinda boring

[cedar shell]

i feel like this is my 7 but i gave it to the ox

[burnt topaz]

Why on earth do I have ox written down twice

[cedar shell]

jupiter 9

[wind jolt]

Negative tag haters when it gives them a negative blueprint

[burnt topaz]

Triboulet

[cedar shell]

negative tag lovers trying not to spam survivorship bias

[lunar zealot]

8

[cedar shell]

5

[burnt topaz]

Wooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[cedar shell]

ok boypower lock tf and show me perkeo

[somber charm]

But that would only be on abandoned deck and it would be so helpful

[lunar zealot]

if you've known me for long i am a Very opinionated individual

the only on scored xmult i respect is ancient joker

[burnt topaz]

Kami I’ve known you for like 10 minutes

I haven’t known you for long

[wintry ice]

trib is fun when it works

it has a lot of caveats for a legendary though

[lunar zealot]

Inshallah

[burnt topaz]

I’ll just tell you it’s not there

[lunar zealot]

vic

[boreal oar]

my goat

[lunar zealot]

Do i post the pasta

[cedar shell]

we cant be friends anymore

[burnt topaz]

You used it for a previous ranking

[lunar zealot]

i need you to say it

[burnt topaz]

I wanna be unique

[wintry ice]

idk if it's needed

[cedar shell]

istg if you leave out perkeo but you put fucking bbc ill lose it

[violet bear]

Wait there’s a triboulet copypasta

[lunar zealot]

Awwwwwww maaaaaaaaan

[jagged torrent]

Just get lucky fr

[burnt topaz]

I still don’t know what bbc is

What does that mean

BBC is a news program

[lean spade]

big bla.... baseball card

[boreal oar]

british broadcasting coorporation

[burnt topaz]

Yeah but what does it mean in Balatro terms

[cedar shell]

the joker

baseball card

[boreal oar]

balatro balatro calatro

duh

[lunar zealot]

each uncommon joker gives x1.5 mult

[jagged torrent]

There's a jonkler called the base ball card

[burnt topaz]

Oh yeah baseball card isn’t there either

[cedar shell]

me and kami jumping u

[burnt topaz]

Anyways moving on

Cerulean Bell

[cedar shell]

6

[lunar zealot]

my 10 is already full 💔

Literally not a boss blind btw

so like 5

[cedar shell]

Im saving my 10 slot

[wintry ice]

bell is as much of a nothing burger as verdant leaf

[burnt topaz]

Cavendish is your 5

[cedar shell]

ill know when the time is right

[wintry ice]

you can lose to it very rarely

[lunar zealot]

No cavendish is my 4 i think

[burnt topaz]

Ox is your 4

[lunar zealot]

shit fr?

[burnt topaz]

Yes

[lunar zealot]

ok 7 then

[burnt topaz]

Skips 6

[lunar zealot]

Saving 6 for something mid

[burnt topaz]

Neither of you guys have put any of your top 3

[cedar shell]

i have 1,2,3,10 left

this is not good

[lunar zealot]

My top 1 is bbc

[burnt topaz]

Challenge Deck

[lunar zealot]

6

[cedar shell]

can i abstain

[lunar zealot]

i have not finished all the challenges

[cedar shell]

i just dont play them

idk if theyre good or bad

[burnt topaz]

Fine I’ll choose a different deck

[wintry ice]

jokerless is fun

needle kinds sucks at times

[burnt topaz]

Checkered deck

Instead of challenge

[wintry ice]

checkered is a bit boring

[cedar shell]

10

hoping i didnt cook my top 3

[lunar zealot]

6

[burnt topaz]

You did

[cedar shell]

FUCK

[lunar zealot]

LMAOOO

[burnt topaz]

Next up…

[strange agate]

@sly coral current streak: red, blue, yellow and green. Gonna take a break now

[lunar zealot]

oh im gonna enjoy this

[burnt topaz]

Mega Standard Paxk

[cedar shell]

yo

[lunar zealot]

Unironically though

like 2

[cedar shell]

3

[lunar zealot]

blue/purple/golds are good

[left juniper]

Throwback can be fun I swear

[lunar zealot]

Saving 1 for bbc and 3 for something more mid

[burnt topaz]

Speaking of blues

Blue Seal

[cedar shell]

NO

oh thank god

1

[wintry ice]

1

[burnt topaz]

What did you think?

[lunar zealot]

Do i say 1 or 3

[wintry ice]

literal strongest thing in the game

[lunar zealot]

because if i say 1 what if the final one is baseball card

[cedar shell]

last one gonna be a 3

[lunar zealot]

he wouldn't do that to me would he

Right

Can i call a lifeline

[burnt topaz]

I said earlier bbc wasn’t on the list

[lunar zealot]

fiiiine

1

[burnt topaz]

And we end with…

This is Kami’s 3 and ivy’s 2

Supernova

[lunar zealot]

Yeah sounds about right

[wintry ice]

aounds about right

[cedar shell]

dude i hecking love supernova

1. Blue seal
2. Supernova
3. Mega Standard
4. Cavendish
5. Triboulet
6. Cerulean Bell
7. Ox
8. Negative Tag
9. Jupiter
10. Checkered

[burnt topaz]

I do as well just didn’t think you guys did as well

[lunar zealot]

nova is. Fine.

scaling +mult

you just can't obelisk pivot and die to eye

but it can never go down so it has a niche there

[brave goblet]

I don't like supernova that much cause it punishes you for pivoting

[burnt topaz]

Kami has:

1. Blue Seal
2. Mega Standard Pack
3. Supernova
4. Ox
5. Cavendish
6. Checkered deck
7. Cerulean Bell
8. Triboulet
9. Jupiter
10. Negative Tag

[brave goblet]

ol' reliable but pretty borign

[lunar zealot]

All of this is good

[violet bear]

What are we ranking

[wintry ice]

supernova is good but it's undoubtably the most boring scaling +mult joker

[burnt topaz]

Honestly fair

If there was a voucher that added a pack slot to every shop like overstock does I would like red card a lot more

[jagged torrent]

What's wrong with it? :(

[burnt topaz]

Because then it actually has syngergies

In the synergy game

Other than I guess vagabond?

[cedar shell]

i always thought this was a money game

[wintry ice]

you can't pivot to another hand

[jagged torrent]

Ah fair enough

[wintry ice]

so you're kinda forced to use pairs or high card with it

[burnt topaz]

It’s a lot of things, 2 of which are money and synergy

Hold up real quick

[fading cobalt]

I wanna play balatro but i have 2 more hours of college 💔

[wintry ice]

i don't get why people call this the synergy game when most jokers that are specifically used for synergies are just

[burnt topaz]

Does anybody else notice that if you have a specific build the game tends to swerve in the other direction?

[wintry ice]

impractical

[lunar zealot]

EXCEPT MIDAS MASK VAMPIRE

AND BBC MY GOAT

BBC MY GOAT

KING BBC

[fading cobalt]

Thats just unfortunate events the game isnt rigged

[pale wolf]

sygmergy

[wintry ice]

all 3 of them don't depend on specific jokers

[cedar shell]

baron and mime have a pretty good synergy

[fading cobalt]

Like eventually you play enough antes and thats just gonna happen

[cedar shell]

baron showing up in my flush five build

[sly coral]

Does anyone have a balatro playlist

[burnt topaz]

No I don’t think it is, if you are playing on checkered deck you get a lot more clubs and diamonds from standard packs rather then the suits you actually want i swear

[fading cobalt]

Could you give an example of what this is supposed to mean....

[fading cobalt]

Like the ost?

[burnt topaz]

I just did

[lunar zealot]

You still play pairs on checkered anyway

[fading cobalt]

Yes well I asked before you did 😭

[sly coral]

nah like a spotify playlist

[wintry ice]

confirmation bias is a thing

[lunar zealot]

you play pairs on every deck except like painted and even then straights aren't as good as pairs

[fading cobalt]

Nvm it sent after you said it

But i typed it before that

[burnt topaz]

You also wouldn’t get world or sun very often from tarot packs

[fading cobalt]

[fading cobalt]

Umm idk about checkered deck man

[cedar shell]

ok i have one more teeny tiny blind ranking before i have to go

last one i swear

[burnt topaz]

Hold up let me finish my challenge deck and then I’ll try and show you

[fading cobalt]

That's a very bias thing tbh... Like are you just looking for a type of music to listen to with balatro?

What genre do you want

Or do you mean like songs with a balatro vibe

[molten thicket]

why does banana pop when you need it

[cedar shell]

these decks

[sly coral]

Naww i have a balatro playlist i made for myself i just want to see what others listen to

[shell dagger]

This isn’t real, you can check the code

The game doesn’t know what build you’d like

[sly coral]

just songs people listen to while plsying balatro

[fading cobalt]

You can search balatro playlists on spotify 🤷 I just listen to my main playlists while playing balatro, I dont have a balatro specific playlist

[cedar shell]

blind rank these decks 1-5
erratic

[shell dagger]

Skipped ante 8 big blind to roll away from crimson heart 🔥

[sly coral]

whats your spotify (if the main olaylist is public)

[burnt topaz]

It’s knows what’s in your deck though

[cosmic sun]

all my homies hate crimson

[shell dagger]

It doesn’t know what you’d like your deck to look like

[violet bear]

The broke run

[cedar shell]

i dont think it really cares though

[shell dagger]

Look at the code, like i said

[fading cobalt]

I'll dm you my playlist

[shell dagger]

You won’t find anything

[molten thicket]

my biggest fear is crimson ping-ponging between photo and chad

[burnt topaz]

I play on mobile and my laptop’s battery doesn’t work anymore

[wintry ice]

crimson heart moment

[cosmic sun]

would rather fight vv

[burnt topaz]

Balatro doesn’t even work on my laptop

[alpine nest]

Did we get a genuine balatro conspiracy theorist before gta 6

[burnt topaz]

Do you think this will do it?

[alpine nest]

Probably

[shell dagger]

Probably

[burnt topaz]

That’s the correct answer

[left juniper]

Probably

[burnt topaz]

Not even 200k

Well don’t I feel dumb

[shell dagger]

Uhhh 700 chips and (58+41)*2.25 mult roughly

[cosmic sun]

pair bus on its way to hit 80

[shell dagger]

Random holographic in there

[cedar shell]

my school's principal is standing at the back of my classroom watching my on discord on my laptop

[burnt topaz]

It’s fine a few high cards will do it as long as I don’t play a face card

[shell dagger]

Your build is hand agnostic

[burnt topaz]

but opposite

[alpine nest]

Based principal?

[shell dagger]

Pay attention in class

[burnt topaz]

Everything’s fine

Funnily enough I don’t know if I use any of the jokers I just won with like ever

[cedar shell]

im not technically in class right now, im just in a classroom

[shell dagger]

Go study

[cedar shell]

the quarter is ending i have nothing else to study

[jagged torrent]

Focus on school kids, or your gonna end up unemployed and homeless like me 💔

[shell dagger]

you’ve studied EVERYTHING?

[cedar shell]

they dont give me the materials for next quarter until the quarter starts

yes ive done everything for this quarter, its designed to be finished in that timeframe

[shell dagger]

Study stochastic difference equations to model the expected value of space joker over 24 rounds

[cedar shell]

well how many times are you playing your desired upgraded hand each round

[lunar zealot]

BBC MY GOAT

Literal best joker in the game

i do not accept criticism

[shell dagger]

Depends on how much you scored in the previous hand, that’s why it’s stochastic

[lunar zealot]

give me ONE reason why bbc isn't good

[north spindle]

i mean you surely use a discrete method of analysis for space joker

[lunar zealot]

like i think it's the literal only joker you're free to take speculatively

[shell dagger]

Yeah difference equation

[lunar zealot]

Not even speculatively

if you get early bbc you build towards it

it's like obelisk

[cedar shell]

bro my algebra class actually took me back in time

bc why have we gone back to identifying slopes of a y=mx+b equation

ITS JUST M

[north spindle]

oh ok not differential eqn lol

[shell dagger]

But how do you know

[cedar shell]

i mean if you graph it you can use the rate of change equation to check it using two points along the function

[shell dagger]

Derive it from first principles

[cedar shell]

i do not know what you are talking about

my high school math classes peaked at honors algebra 2

[north spindle]

not 100% sure what "difference equation" is refering to but i assume its essentially just "use discrete prob methods"

[shell dagger]

Then you haven’t studied everything smh

[shell dagger]

Yeah it’s like an iterative map

[north spindle]

oh the stochastic matrix thing?

[shell dagger]

I haven’t actually studied stochastic processes so idk

[pale wolf]

i studied a singular stochastic process

[north spindle]

i recommend looking at how the reals can be explicitly constructed if you're interested in this kind of thing

(from the rationals)

[lunar zealot]

I like your funny words magic man

[shell dagger]

I think we covered one way in a topology class but i forgot

[north spindle]

its not like its that complicated but it is kind of clever and gives insight into why they work

[burnt topaz]

Yay I love playing my straight flush

[lunar zealot]

somehow i passed my math class in year 12

like. Somehow.

no clue how

[north spindle]

topology was nuts
hardest class i ever took

[lunar zealot]

Almost failed chemistry

[pale wolf]

i dont rember any of the math

[burnt topaz]

Actually I can swap out the 5 for the 4 of spades and it’s still a straight flush

[sly coral]

arent u like 30?

[pale wolf]

58

[shell dagger]

Last year mechanics was forced for undergrads, that was probably my hardest

[pale wolf]

59 next may!!!

[shell dagger]

Im not a mechanic

[north spindle]

its like "oh you thought real analysis was hard? try real analysis but instead of working in the 2nd easiest number space, deal with weird garbage"

[sly coral]

Ohhh that makes so much more sense

ofc

[pale wolf]

58 and a half

[sly coral]

happy early 59th birthday

[pale wolf]

ty ily

[sly coral]

ilytoo

[north spindle]

what is that

never heard of "mechanics" as a math class

[wintry ice]

math was cool

[pale wolf]

momentary relationships between linked rigid bodys

[wintry ice]

that sounds closer to physics

[north spindle]

i mean yeah i know of classical and quantum mechanics

[pale wolf]

thats more tarots and seances

[shell dagger]

Classical, mostly Newtonian with a bit of lagrangian, the hard bit for me was rigid and deformable bodies

[north spindle]

oh so it is physics then lol

[shell dagger]

Just couldn’t wrap my head around it, the exam had tons of derivations too

[zinc karma]

I hate this game so much

[north spindle]

yeah i thought classical was the hardest physics topic in undergrad that was a required course for sure

[somber nebula]

i already won run but what would be best to replace and copy?

[zinc karma]

Smiley

[cedar shell]

nuh uh

ante 5

[shell dagger]

Stuntman is likely making ancient joker worthless, so I’d ditch stuntman

[zinc karma]

And copy photo

[shell dagger]

Nah you copy ancient here

[burnt topaz]

They’re saying that they can’t lose with how good they are already

[somber nebula]

you cant lose with that build

[shell dagger]

Chad makes ancient a 17x
