[thorny wigeon]

That's it

I am gonna play Needle challenge on black deck

[stiff ravine]

Finished gold stake for first time. This deck works surprisingly well, ended with more than x6 on constellation.

[pale wolf]

oh shit

[zinc karma]

Ofc it does

Its flushes

[pale wolf]

massively multiplayer balatro rpg

[pale grotto]

I messed up

[red thistle]

What the fuck happened. 😭

[stiff ravine]

I played high card

[pale wolf]

I feel like that wins? and you have two extra hands

[pale grotto]

3 free shops but -6$ but round

[pale grotto]

No the round, the game

[pale wolf]

That's not even free shops

[red thistle]

Am i the only one questioning the monitor.

[pale grotto]

I waste my 2 double tag

[pale grotto]

Rerolls srry

I wish they were shops

[pale wolf]

why would you ever have three d6 tags

[red thistle]

Doc said it's underrated once!! It must be an uncracked gem!!

[pale grotto]

Thats why i messed up

[zinc karma]

🤔

[lunar zealot]

i mean your build is very standard

+chips +mult xmult xmult econ

replace econ with another xmult so you beat vv

otherwise perfectly vanilla lol

Play pairs instead of high card

and you'll get even better results

[pale wolf]

also yeah, that screenshot isn't a beaten game

[fading dome]

yooo use the new wiki instead of the shitty fandom one

[still laurel]

Question, why do i see people going for naneinf saving thousands of dollars? Given reroll prices reset every shop wouldnt it make sense to go down to 0/low enoughyoull still hit interest cap each shop, so ur minimizing $ per reroll?

[pale wolf]

if you took glyph you could play 2 ante 8 bosses

[red thistle]

Balatrowiki.org?

[austere escarp]

just threw my run got too greedy

[pale wolf]

you need massive amounts of money to roll through after certain boss blinds

[fading dome]

That's the one

[lunar zealot]

use money to reroll for serpent

[static mist]

didnt know there was a newer one ill check it out ty

[stiff ravine]

Yes, I know it’s a standard. What surprise me is how they synergise quite well, that I never would have tried if not chance upon them in gold stake.

[pale wolf]

And certain amounts of money to get serpent

[austere escarp]

sold card sharp thinking constellation would be enough and it barely wasnt

[lunar zealot]

once you have enough money you don't need to reroll shops anymore

[red thistle]

Classic L.

[austere escarp]

really wanted 3 stickers

[still laurel]

ty ty

[lunar zealot]

so just keep rerolling for serpent

[lunar zealot]

yuh just play pairs

[pale wolf]

does anybody know the average amount of money you need to spend re-rolling to find a specific uncommon

[still laurel]

so like at this point (my deck is like 2/3rds steel 1/3rd gold) I should not reroll shop and save money instead?

[pale wolf]

not counting any blocking

[red thistle]

You need to consult jmibo for this.

[lunar zealot]

1 dollar

[pale wolf]

omg I found it

[unreal iron]

PB WINSTREAK!!!

no white stake cheating i did 4 gold stake runs and won yattaaaa

what deck should i do next i already did 5 of them owo

[rose coral]

green?

[unreal iron]

oooo ruining the streak possibly

because green deck late makes me broke

hmmmmmm

[rose coral]

i think you got it

[unreal iron]

but the decks i chose are like, money positive most of the time?

ghost, blue, yellow, checkered

yeah yeah green deck it is

[rose coral]

good luck to ya

[cosmic seal]

oh

[gaunt folio]

Glad to know it wasn’t my fault much lol

[neon light]

Should i switch to baron?

The only problematic boss blind I haven't done is the plant

But i got reroll voucher

[neon light]

Okay nvm i will just sell the 2x on flushes

[heavy heron]

have you ever seen anything so beautiful

[neon light]

I forgot i had that

[unreal iron]

thanks bro

[lunar zealot]

dies to vv

[neon light]

Least useful sygil

[heavy heron]

that’s what steel and glass are for

also i’m not even ante 8 yet

i get strong enough for vv easily

[twin lantern]

how much FPS do you have also DAMN

[rose coral]

whoopsie daisy

[cosmic seal]

oh

[gaunt folio]

Black deck seems like it’s impossible to consistently win unless your name is Dr Spectered

[unreal iron]

whatever streaking is stressful

i beat my 3 winstreak tho

[heavy heron]

only when i’m screen recording, 60 fps

when i’m not? like.. 20..

[unreal iron]

and i know its 4 gold stake runs

[heavy heron]

thank you ios 26 bug

[rose coral]

lets just do it again

or mby not actually

[still laurel]

do i sell anything for baron or dna here? Scoring e50 per hand when brainstorm is on baron even with no steels in hand, have 2/3rds steel 1/3rd gold

[gaunt folio]

But that man is magic

[unreal iron]

you could sell showman for baron i dont think you need a 2nd dna tho

[gaunt folio]

I don’t watch him often, but I’m aware of his achievement of c++ without losing (I think that was what happened)

[twin lantern]

yup

[still laurel]

Why would I not keep showman for more copy effects?

[unreal iron]

im really not sure im not familiar with endless that much

[gaunt folio]

Dude is a Balatro machine

It’s absurd

[unreal iron]

i aspire to be like doc one day

[lunar zealot]

dna could go for baron if you have enough plutos to survive the -2 pseudo hand size

[gaunt folio]

Ngl I think he’s one of a kind lol

[twin lantern]

high card 🔥🗣️

[gaunt folio]

High card and pair w

[still laurel]

But doesnt DNA help with income?

[gaunt folio]

If the game just gave me some damn levels

[unreal iron]

at this point he might be john balatro

[heavy heron]

dies to vv :(

[unreal iron]

yeah you just did

[heavy heron]

you’re right

[twin lantern]

I'm more jealous that you have what appears to be 120 fos 😭

[heavy heron]

gotta lock in harder next time

[gaunt folio]

Throughout poker and calculators, he alone is the honored one

[heavy heron]

IS IT REALLY?

[cedar shell]

you really hate to see it

[stuck shuttle]

Nah if you can survive th upcoming rounds then you want to find bp or brainstorm most

[twin lantern]

probably 😭

[heavy heron]

i don’t think an iphone 13 offers more than 60

[twin lantern]

it's way too smooth for 6

60*

maybe 90

[lunar zealot]

If you want income roll for rebate

[unreal iron]

a brainstorm could be anything, even a credit card!

credit card in the tarot merchant btw

[heavy heron]

i wish you saw what my game looked like when i’m not recording

seriously you wouldn’t believe it

[twin lantern]

then always record 🗣️🔥🔥

[heavy heron]

it’s like i’m playing balatro on the ps2

[heavy heron]

you’re just big brain like that LOOLLL

[gaunt folio]

There have been a couple times where I reset the run right there because the pain of seeing one I couldn’t afford ante 1 is so devastating

[still laurel]

Do i just max reroll every shop looking? I make abt 200 a round

[gaunt folio]

lol

[heavy heron]

pov my 30 gb of storage when i look in my photos after one run

[oblique kelp]

Can someone explain to me what this means?

Cause I played hands that made more than 100 chips

[twin lantern]

as someone who's never even used a laptop let alone a desktop outside of school and even that for only like 20 minutes in a year, i do not relate

[oblique kelp]

so I don't get it

[lunar zealot]

The blue one

[gaunt folio]

It means your chips can’t go higher than your money

Ig

[oblique kelp]

but they have?

[lunar zealot]

the BLUE one

[cold finch]

free w

[twin lantern]

the blue one

the left one

[heavy heron]

lets say you have $75. when you play any hand, the max amount of chips (the blue number on the left) can only be 75 highest; it won’t let you go higher

[gaunt folio]

Not score

[twin lantern]

holy fucking mult 😭

[cedar shell]

chips =/= score

[oblique kelp]

ohhh you mean this part?

[heavy heron]

yea

[gaunt folio]

😭

[heavy heron]

i’m happy for you, genuinely

but this is also on my phone not my laptop

[twin lantern]

wait why 😭

[gaunt folio]

Chips are the blue number, score is the final number

[oblique kelp]

Oh ok thanks guys!

[twin lantern]

i know

[heavy heron]

it’s good to stay off technology

[twin lantern]

the ps2 reference

[twin lantern]

bruh 😭

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[oblique kelp]

Are there any ways to exponentially increase my money?

[twin lantern]

as someone who wants to persue animation i do NOT agree 😭

[heavy heron]

OK THEN MAYBE NOT

[gaunt folio]

In what circumstance

[lunar zealot]

absolutely not

[oblique kelp]

Or is it only the 20$ interest I get

[fading dome]

Balatro is a bit confusing in that aspect, it uses the word "chips" for both the blue chips and the final score

[gaunt folio]

25 dollars is the interest cap

[twin lantern]

it's always a flat increase. You can't "scale" money

[gaunt folio]

Which gives 5 dollars at the end of round

[unreal iron]

55 with seed money :3

[twin lantern]

although vouchers do go crazy

[cosmic seal]

@rose coral

[gaunt folio]

*50

[heavy heron]

bro ppl in this server are crazy like i show a video showing a cool sigil moment and the first reply is a guy on all 4’s going “ooogh uhhh sir you lose to the ante 8 boss blind violet vessel” can’t i just have fun bro LOOLLL

[unreal iron]

i like 55

[heavy heron]

and i won anyway crazy

[oblique kelp]

Idk some rougelikes like this have options for that

[rose coral]

?

[gaunt folio]

????

But it’s 50

[twin lantern]

this one doesn't

[unreal iron]

yeah but i like 55

[cedar shell]

good for you, but john balatro disagrees

[twin lantern]

istg that happens WAY too often

[unreal iron]

:(

[twin lantern]

"john"😭🙏

[gaunt folio]

Lmao

[heavy heron]

fr and when i showed them a video of me clearly winning over vv’s threshold they went silent

crazy

[twin lantern]

humbled in 10 seconds 🙏

[heavy heron]

i feel like people build an ego off a single player game and it makes no sense

[lunar zealot]

Me having to sell my ante 1 rocket so i can buy campfire to beat violet vessel

[cosmic seal]

i like seeing ur pfp

[rose coral]

thanks!

[gaunt folio]

I showed this earlier, but here’s my third to last win to get c+

[cedar shell]

me selling my entire lineup for campfire scaling

[twin lantern]

well theres people like me who CAN'T enjoy any game because people like me treat it as a job and never have fun. I guess some people let that show in their texts 😭

[lunar zealot]

insane how you're assuming i'm at all being rude

[heavy heron]

YOUVE GONE MAD

[lunar zealot]

holy shit

[formal abyss]

i remember thinking that having my chips over $ was an instant loss and never got around to playing this challenge lmao

[twin lantern]

DOUBLE MADNESS 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[gaunt folio]

I adore madness joker

[lunar zealot]

Unironically would make the challenge 10x more fun

[gaunt folio]

Believe it or not, this is my second black deck win with a double eternal madness on ante 1

[lunar zealot]

otherwise it's literally easier than white stake

[heavy heron]

case in point like you can actually focus on the comedic point of the video and not immediately tell me something that implies i’m playing poorly

[twin lantern]

it for sure would

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

[gaunt folio]

Madness is the goat

[twin lantern]

"stay mad, kid" just got a WHOLE new meaning 😭

[gaunt folio]

Lmao

[heavy heron]

TREAT IT LIKE A JOB?!

[twin lantern]

i do.. And i hate myself for it

i can't enjoy any game

[lunar zealot]

how am i implying you're playing poorly ????

[twin lantern]

never

[heavy heron]

i mean hey like lock in

[twin lantern]

wdym 😭

[lunar zealot]

from the info in the video i see you don't score enough to beat violet vessel and might not have enough spades to play additional flushes

[gaunt folio]

Maybe it’s just because I’m good at playing around it, but I think madness is underrated (as in it’s considered decently high tier but I think it basically carries gold stake runs)

[heavy heron]

i literally just hit a sigil for all spades

[twin lantern]

but.. that's what rounds and shops are for...

[heavy heron]

and also the info from the video shows i’m a 3x off vv

which is very clearly circumventable since i’m 2 (maybe 1?) ante’s away from ante 8

[twin lantern]

glass cards easily get that done with and a couple justices aren't THAT hard to find

[lunar zealot]

so what part of that is rude when i'm literally just trying to help

[heavy heron]

and that’s exactly what i did but funny enough i didn’t even need it

[lunar zealot]

i didn't try to sound rude

like come on man

[twin lantern]

I'm pretty sure that was also a joke

they didn't mean to argue

[cedar shell]

saying something that doesnt come off with the utmost sincerity and kindness doesnt equate to rudeness

[heavy heron]

you’re not helping at all like there’s a clear difference between “hey i think you need to get some steel and glass ready for vv in case” instead of “loses to vv” when that isn’t even the point of the video, the point was to show my cool sigil moment

[eternal anchor]

ngl hitting spades from sigil while having arrowhead is an actual power move

[twin lantern]

okay okay relax

don't make it a full on argument

[heavy heron]

i’m just explaining why their “help” doesn’t come off that way is all

[lunar zealot]

how was i supposed to know you'd read what is clearly not meant to be an attack on you as a player as one

[twin lantern]

@heavy heron @lunar zealot chill

[heavy heron]

okay so in the future, focus on the point of the video maybe LOOLLL

[twin lantern]

both are in the wrong

relax

[lunar zealot]

this is literally something i say casually

[heavy heron]

like i wasn’t asking for advice i was showing a funny moment

[cosmic seal]

wtf is vv

[heavy heron]

but you do you

[heavy heron]

violet vessel

[twin lantern]

violet vessel

[cosmic seal]

what that

[lunar zealot]

you seem really pressed over something not remotely meant to be rude in the first place

[heavy heron]

ante 8 boss

[strange agate]

Today I learned:
the same way debuffed clubs/ spades are valid to allow BLACKboard to activate the x 3; Perishable (expired) or Debuffed Uncommon Jokers (with no effect) still count for Baseball Card to get an extra 1.5x
@sly coral
Thank you inactive Onyx Agit for your contribution

[cosmic seal]

what it do

[eternal anchor]

oh it's one of those ivory I hate bloodstone gags

[heavy heron]

brother i dropped it already LOOLL it seems you’re pressed

[twin lantern]

×3 score requirement

[cedar shell]

mfs in game discussion when they post something and someone discusses the game instead of what they want

[lunar zealot]

x6 blind size

[heavy heron]

let it go big dog it’s alright

[lunar zealot]

'brother'

[cosmic seal]

LOL

[dire inlet]

hey guys, im trying to break the fragile challenge, what is the best way to go about creating a tarot loop via perkeo and emperor, along with fool and hermit/temperance. since all the enhancement cards are banned it should be feasible enough

[heavy heron]

???

[buoyant ridge]

is it normal to loose on black deck gold stake ante 2 ?

[twin lantern]

if let's say the ante boss requires 300000 chips to win, the violet vessel bumps it up to 900000

[cosmic seal]

LOL

[twin lantern]

wait am i wrong

[heavy heron]

i’d say that’s the only possibility

[twin lantern]

hold up

[heavy heron]

when it comes to black deck

[twin lantern]

it's 4x isn't it?

[dire inlet]

yea black deck is obnoxious

[heavy heron]

it’s a 3x normal

so

[twin lantern]

nvm

[lunar zealot]

i think you should have all the tarots banked except emperor and fool

[heavy heron]

100,000 —> 300,000

or

[cedar shell]

its normal to lose in general, not every run is a winner

[heavy heron]

400,000 —> 1,200,000

[cosmic seal]

LOL

[lunar zealot]

I believe in the code it's x6 the base

[twin lantern]

it's normal to lose on round 1 on black deck

[lunar zealot]

the base is 50k which is 300k

[cosmic seal]

bloodstone squirt bottle

[lunar zealot]

but it's for all intents and purposes x3 the boss

[heavy heron]

yea but i don’t think of it like the base

because most of the time you don’t enter ante 8 expecting to compare the boss number to small blind number

but yea.. base

[pale grotto]

Its normal to lose on any deck on any stake

[lunar zealot]

ribeye?

[heavy heron]

🥩

[lunar zealot]

t bone?

[formal abyss]

is it normal to stake

[lunar zealot]

only if your name ends in belmont

[cedar shell]

its normal to eat stake, we are omnivores

wait

FUCK

[pale grotto]

Xd

[lunar zealot]

😭

[dire inlet]

ty i shall try that

[lunar zealot]

so i believe it's like

sun world star moon

hanged man

[pale grotto]

The steak?

[lunar zealot]

judgement

High priestess hermit temperance

is that everything?

[pale grotto]

Death

[cedar shell]

if im messing around with riff raff for fun should i ankh it for 3 commons/round or just use the trance

[lunar zealot]

yeah that

[formal abyss]

death isnt banned in fragil?

[lunar zealot]

and then all the enhancement tarots are banned on fragile

[pale grotto]

Devil

Oh

[lunar zealot]

what are you deathing a card into

[pale grotto]

Srry

[lunar zealot]

another glass card

[twin lantern]

memes > win

[pale wolf]

non-eternal riff raffs seems like a dream

I've only had eternal ones for like 10 runs

[pale wolf]

@lunar zealot

[lunar zealot]

I JUST SAID PAINTED

[pale wolf]

ty!!

[cedar shell]

eternal riff-raff is goated

[pale wolf]

pretty good starting deck on painted

[cedar shell]

riff-raff is actually an econ joker because all the cards are shit so you just sell them all

[delicate tide]

I’d say it’s pretty average

Also .3.

Poop

Score

[buoyant ridge]

should i take the orbital skip for +3 full house or dont do it ? my hands are still level 1 btw because i have hologram

[heavy heron]

i think you’ll be sticking to 2 pair more than full house

i’d say no

[uncut slate]

full house is impossible to draw

[heavy heron]

you need the extra time to scale pants

so i wouldn’t skip

[quartz ember]

my hands are still level 1 btw because i have hologram
this makes no sense

[twin lantern]

@cedar shell could you accept my friend request?

[lunar zealot]

they mean holo is killing their econ

[uncut slate]

they actually removed it from the game it won't deal you a full house

[quartz ember]

you should be playing, and leveling, hologram

pairs

not hologram

[twin lantern]

😭

[heavy heron]

that’s true, full houses aren’t a hand anymore

[quartz ember]

wtf am i writing

[heavy heron]

it’s rumored the last time someone found a full house was a few centuries ago

[twin lantern]

nope

i legit drew a flush house like 8 times in a row 😭

[heavy heron]

soooo.. what vouchers did you get

[uncut slate]

that's a different hand

[twin lantern]

and the entire deck only had two occurances of it 😭

[heavy heron]

THATS CRAZY

[twin lantern]

me winning a run with only full houses:

[heavy heron]

but tbf flush houses are easier to draw than full houses

[twin lantern]

how

it's literally the same thing

😭

[heavy heron]

wdym? full houses aren’t real

[uncut slate]

simply a fabrication

[twin lantern]

-# oh i see what we're doing mb

[uncut slate]

propaganda by big house

[heavy heron]

HOW IS YOUR TEXT LIKE THAT

[twin lantern]

nvm i might have hallucinated

[heavy heron]

it’s okay i do that too

[twin lantern]

insert a "-# " before text

-# tiny text :p

[heavy heron]

-#that’s awesome

wait huh

[twin lantern]

space

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

o

-# i see

[twin lantern]

i literally said "-# "😭

i added the space 😭

[twin lantern]

-# yeeeah

-# why are we whispering

[heavy heron]

this was a hallucination too

this whole run

[twin lantern]

god damn

the game makes you watch ALL that

😭

[heavy heron]

LOOLLLLL I KNOW

ITS SO CRUEL

[twin lantern]

@cedar shell

ya there?

btw chat diwali is coming up 🔥

[pale wolf]

weird run

I don't think I win it

[twin lantern]

all eternals 🔥

legit two econ 😭

one econ one util

[twin lantern]

ectoplasm in spectral trust

[uncut slate]

nah this is beyond winnable

hologram carries

[twin lantern]

get your mult and chips from free planets

easy win maybe

[uncut slate]

pretty sure i had one almost exactly like this last night

[pale wolf]

yeah I think the arm murdered me

[uncut slate]

instead of half joker i had eternal holographic abstract which is not much different

[pale wolf]

deleveled my winning hand three times unavoidably

[uncut slate]

but otherwise holo was my only scaler

[twin lantern]

yeah that's maybe dead

[pale wolf]

yea dead

genuinely though I think I win there if I don't run into the arm

[lost flax]

I know it's probably not notable in any way in a server as busy as this, but I just beat gold stake on black deck and finally got Completionist+, but none of my irl friends are still playing so just wanted to post it somewhere to celebrate 😂

[twin lantern]

nah dude that's INSANE

i can't even do white stake black deck 😭

[white zodiac]

it's so over 💔

[hasty harness]

looks inside

photo chad

[twin lantern]

sup fowler

[hasty harness]

ggs bro

nice

[hasty harness]

whats up

[lost flax]

I raged pretty hard at orange and gold

Well, more orange

[hasty harness]

im about to start grinding out the decks after hitting naninf like a week ago

[lost flax]

I came back after a day away expecting to get nowhere and got two wins in about an hour

[hasty harness]

had 4 decks gold staked before that

[twin lantern]

my english textbook burned that name into my memory istg

[steady raven]

What do I do?

[lost flax]

I've never naninf-ed

[hasty harness]

dang nice

[hasty harness]

its way easier then gold staking

[twin lantern]

holy

[hasty harness]

only took me a few hours total

without knowing much except the basics

[twin lantern]

you should savescum i think

sell a bloodstone and check it

[lost flax]

Final win came with this (Chicot from a mega arcana in ante 1)

[hasty harness]

i mean tbh there isnt a legendary that helps u right?

for ur build

[lost flax]

It just scraped 400k for the ante 8 boss

[hasty harness]

peak

[twin lantern]

ah yes TV

[twin lantern]

what an experience

[lost flax]

Yeah I play on ps5, don't have a pc 🙁

[hasty harness]

like juts look at the legendary cast and think about it

there isnt really a legendary thats super good for u

[twin lantern]

i don't either

just a phone

[lost flax]

Oh I figured it would be super hard as the furthest I've ever get was ante 14

[twin lantern]

no tv too

[hasty harness]

nah you just need to know what ur doing tbh

[twin lantern]

if you get the right seed it's very easy

[hasty harness]

like finding jokers at certain points

[dreamy creek]

guh

[twin lantern]

also a bit of skill

[hasty harness]

i did it unseeded like 3 times already

twice i wasnt even going for it

[lost flax]

I actually bought a PS Portal second hand the other day, but it's not arrived yet. May switch to just a couple of gold stake attempts each night in the journey for Completionist++

[twin lantern]

my point stands

[hasty harness]

i just pivoted into it lol

[hasty harness]

yeah as long as yk what ur doing

and u get certain jokeres at certain points

its not that bad

gold stake runs r way harder

[twin lantern]

yeah

[lost flax]

I have a vague idea, red seals on steel kings with baron right? Or Perkeo for cryptids?

[dreamy creek]

gold steak

[hasty harness]

red seals on steel kings is how i did it

[pale wolf]

grats

[twin lantern]

especially when ts happens

[hasty harness]

but yeah perkeo for cryptids works as well

[twin lantern]

the wheel hit it 😭

[dreamy creek]

absoloute peak

[hasty harness]

well i mean at least it was pretty much survive the rest of the run

ante 7 afterall

[twin lantern]

but still 😭

[hasty harness]

you could potentially take a skip and bring it into the ante 8 boss

if ur not on the ante 7 bb rn

[twin lantern]

yeah that's what i did

[hasty harness]

makes sense

[twin lantern]

i took a skip on ante 7

ante 6*

rare skip

[hasty harness]

you need early game econ really bad tho

[lost flax]

I struggle with deck modification quickly enough to get enough steel kings (though I'm used to higher stake scaling, maybe going back to white will help)

[hasty harness]

to reroll for baron/mime/copys/deck fixing

[kind cloud]

Gold stake black deck lowkey was light

[hasty harness]

yeah white is way easier

• u can farm money way easier

cuz scaling is slower

and u have more discards

etc

so you can farm with stuff like parking and rebate

way easier

[twin lantern]

legit 4 econ one scoriny

[lost flax]

Makes sense, I'm looking forward to a few white stake runs again I think

[white zodiac]

yeah I should start doing c++ with only black

[twin lantern]

$40+ per round

[kind cloud]

😭😭 im still working on gold staking all decks just wanted black out of the way. Have naneinf and gold stake black so everything should be easy now right??? Right????????

[hasty harness]

tell me about it ive had runs that naninf'd that had like trading card, rebate, parking, a chip joker, and then like midas mask (sell out of it right after i finish) since im gonna mime anyway

and since ur on plasma the one chip joker is enough lol

[pale wolf]

after doing c++ white stake felt so boring and free to me

[lost flax]

Tbh I just want to get past ante 16 so the stats menu has all of the blind levels that it shows achieved (haven't found a way to scroll it past the 16 it displays on ps5)

But naninf would be cool

[pale wolf]

and every time I test something on white stake now I feel the same

[dire inlet]

almost completed exodia cant wait to break this challenge open like crazy

[twin lantern]

one single scary face carries till like ante 4

[hasty harness]

naninf doesnt stay on ur stats btw

[white zodiac]

join me on the black deck side quest

[hasty harness]

after u do one more hand its over

[pale wolf]

yeah that's as far as the game shows

[lost flax]

I found black the worst by a fair way. Didn't enjoy plasma either

[pale wolf]

honestly I think my black deck C++ would be faster than my first one

[hasty harness]

lowkey i prefered blue joker since if i did midas mask the extra gold was nice

[lost flax]

Yeah, I'd take a screenshot of that

[hasty harness]

but yeah its better

[pale wolf]

I already had 3 black runs in mine

[cedar shell]

are you copyinng star?

[twin lantern]

but it's better at the beginning for the gold cards

[pale wolf]

3/45 means 1/15 my c++ wins were black deck

[twin lantern]

like, when you're making them

[white zodiac]

c++ with only black deck, cannot obtain wins from any other deck (including white stake wins)

[hasty harness]

game is trolling me btw i started to grind to get these decks up to gold stake now after naninfing

[twin lantern]

it does fall off afterwards tho

[pale wolf]

impossible

[hasty harness]

and then it gave me ts

💀

[white zodiac]

what why

[pale wolf]

actually not

i lied

[twin lantern]

suffering from success

[kind cloud]

Who has a nebula strat never touched it - gonna try to go from white to gold today

[white zodiac]

sbeve

[kind cloud]

Pairs?

[pale wolf]

I thought you needed to violate one of the conditions to unlock Black Deck

[hasty harness]

should have saved it for a gold stake run

🙏

[twin lantern]

spam pairs

[white zodiac]

no just discoveries

[twin lantern]

absolutely do not use tarots

[pale wolf]

so that's just playing a few red deck runs and restarting before winning the boss

maybe even just one

[white zodiac]

that's why I was able to think of it

which means I have to unlock andy on black 😐

[hasty harness]

this is how yk i was going for naninf 😭

[white zodiac]

yuh

[hasty harness]

hopefully it changes a bit after i gold stake grind

[pale wolf]

sounds interesting

[hasty harness]

mime is so fun tho

[twin lantern]

looks inside

fucking leaves

[hasty harness]

infinite planet levels and econ

[hasty harness]

looks inside

mime go brrrrr

[kind cloud]

Wait why, cause consume slot?

[twin lantern]

yea

emperor sucks

and there's very little tarots you want when going pairs

[white zodiac]

strat atm is to purposely not unlock jokers as a consistency measure idk if you would call it unethical for the challenge but I'm doing it

[hasty harness]

but hang man :p

[pale wolf]

black++ profile created

[twin lantern]

• your chips come from planets

[hasty harness]

i love gambling

[white zodiac]

yooo

[twin lantern]

but pairs 🗣️🔥🔥

[pale wolf]

strateegie

I'm probably just going to worry about those once I'm like halfway through

[hasty harness]

lowkey i could push this alot further but i gotta grind goldstake

[white zodiac]

🧠

[hasty harness]

bye bye potential naninf

:p

[white zodiac]

yeah

[twin lantern]

see the judgement first

[pale wolf]

going for full skip unlocks will be a nice break from gold black

[hasty harness]

lowkey not bad

i got drivers

💀

[twin lantern]

yeah nanenf 🔥

[hasty harness]

imagine if it was blueprint and i rare blocked

🤫

[twin lantern]

savescum

[eternal anchor]

Emperor is a guilty pleasure of mine to use lol

[hasty harness]

hang man or money go brrr

been awhile since i played high stakes

yk taking banner on red deck

ill try it

jk im taking idol ante 1 shop 1

🥶

[twin lantern]

the FUCK is that first pack 😭

[hasty harness]

who knows bro

💀

on red deck as well so + 30 chips

[buoyant ridge]

2nd win on black deck gold today

[pale wolf]

I will begin my first run of this later when I'm on lunch LOL

[twin lantern]

x1.5 too

[pale grotto]

Im so grateful that someone teach me about savescumming, like a i sold the wrong jokers all the time

[white zodiac]

there was another challenge I thought of which was c++ without unlocking throwback but idk if I'll get that far yet lol

[dark otter]

do i sell brainstorm for mime?

[pale wolf]

I want to make a video on save scumming

[twin lantern]

same

[hasty harness]

okay wow

[pale wolf]

what, just completing every run in one sitting?

[hasty harness]

i think the games trying to tell me not to use discards

💀

[twin lantern]

literally just go menu it's not that complicated 😭

[dark otter]

do i?

[twin lantern]

OKAY

[hasty harness]

i wanted the voucher but i cant pass that econ

[pale wolf]

there's a lot of nuance

[white zodiac]

something like that

[twin lantern]

THE GAME'S JUST HANDING IT TO YOU LMFAO

[hasty harness]

yeah 💀

[white zodiac]

no savescumming or continues

[cedar shell]

i love to complain about survivorship bias but i keep on taking riff-raff bc i got photochad one time

[hasty harness]

i wanted the voucher but yeah nope

im taking grat

okay so this run seems free 💀

[twin lantern]

i almost read that as surviv and being the survev.io player i am i got a bit excited

[pale wolf]

there's explaining the different phases/animations that you can save scum during, which ones are feasible on what animation speeds, when you should or shouldn't to mitigate breaking your run

[hasty harness]

so much grat value

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[pale grotto]

The Next joker you Will have Will be Green joker and ramen

[serene forge]

ante 7 water

[twin lantern]

btw @cedar shell could you accept my friend request?

[buoyant ridge]

yesterday i was sh** af but today gold stake black deck is manageable somehow

[cedar shell]

uhhhhh why?

[twin lantern]

nothing bad

you'll see in dms

[pale grotto]

If the hook discards your cards It counts for the delayed gratification?

[pale wolf]

no

[hasty harness]

INFINITE SYNERGY

[twin lantern]

i can't dm you without you accepting the request

[white zodiac]

will you include the weird interaction like when you drop frames in balatro for android it doesn't register your last savescum checkpoint

[pale wolf]

you actually have to press the discard button for delayed to disable

[pale grotto]

Oki ty

[pale wolf]

I wasn't aware of it

[white zodiac]

oh

[pale wolf]

I feel like I drop frames every third time that I re-enter the app while it's running

[white zodiac]

it happens to me every time I end a phone call

[pale wolf]

and still save scum okay

[pale grotto]

Guys should i buy balatro in mobile to just keep playing the Game all the time?

[pale wolf]

if I was making a video I would do a lot more testing though

[white zodiac]

when I restart the game like that it doesn't register my last input

ight

[pale wolf]

repost

[brittle tendon]

Balatro player: "Bad draws don't exist. They can't hurt you"
Bad draws:

[twin lantern]

bro wtf 😭

[twin lantern]

okay that's diabolical

[pale wolf]

and this is why we play pairs

[floral delta]

today's balatrodle

[twin lantern]

".mjult" 🗣️🔥🔥

[hasty harness]

okay so this run should be pretty easy

[cedar shell]

genuinely what were you looking for to make the difference

[brittle tendon]

Sorry I wanted to do something different

[white zodiac]

whats wrong with this draw

[brittle tendon]

A SINGLE JACK

I HAVE 7 JACKS

[dire inlet]

i have successfully created exodia. infinite money and i can set this up as much as i want in the future. what should i do with this wealth

[dark otter]

do i take dna?

i score e25

[brittle tendon]

STILL IN THE DECK

[dark otter]

for brainstorm

[vapid wing]

Why werent u playing pairs lol

[cedar shell]

what does your deck look like

[white zodiac]

prob wanted to feel alive

[white zodiac]

only to die

[brittle tendon]

I was building 3oak

[dark otter]

i need more golds but yeah

[brittle tendon]

And still pairs os most played

[cedar shell]

i wouldnt use dna until my deck is all red seal steel/gold

actually

hmm

this isnt an idol build

[dark otter]

yeah

[pale wolf]

balatrodle spoilers in 4*
not much else to say

[brittle tendon]

I needed 1 jack to win

ONE

[dark otter]

i need more red seal kings for serpent too

so do i change brainstorm for dna?

[pale wolf]

typod

[cedar shell]

i mean i guess

ask somebody with ++ in their name maybe im kinda dumb

[lean spade]

sounds good

[dark otter]

alr thanks

[peak hearth]

What now

Should I make it all js fuckin xmults

I do have observatory

[brittle tendon]

I got showman all green and thought I was right

I was wrong

[hasty harness]

first run of the day btw 😭

[peak hearth]

Peak

[pale grotto]

More discards 🔥

[peak hearth]

Bro is naneinfing

[dark otter]

i got it back

but like

not enough deck fixing i think

[peak hearth]

Is there a place where I can ask for help or sm

[hasty harness]

you can ask for help here tbh

[peak hearth]

I high-key don't want to kill this run

And I'd say it's going amazing

I'm faced with a very interesting decision

This vexes me

[pale grotto]

Tell us

[hasty harness]

show

[peak hearth]

What ever do I do now

[hasty harness]

what r u playing

high card? pairs?

[pale grotto]

Balatro duh

[white zodiac]

ultimately voucher luck and money will determine your naneinf run if you know the run down of naneinf setups

[peak hearth]

Mainly pairs

[hasty harness]

then take card sharp id say

for banana

[peak hearth]

Dawg I'm NOT on that level

[peak hearth]

Sure

[pale grotto]

The banana always feels like is eternal

Unlees you actually need it

[peak hearth]

Certainly so, but doesn't it provide a nice enough bonus even after death?

[white zodiac]

it doesn't take much to know how to get there #🕹・game-discussion message

[lean spade]

ante 6 is a little sus to rely on getting cavendish

[white zodiac]

in case you want to know

[untold solar]

What’s the smallest amount of cards you want to get down to in your deck.

[lean spade]

but youre probably winning either way

[lean spade]

1 wouuld be minimum

[peak hearth]

I am so unbelievably determined to overcome my skill issue it's unreal

[untold solar]

🤦🏼‍♂️

[hasty harness]

u can get the 3x banana

[pale grotto]

Cavendish

[peak hearth]

That's what I mean

[hasty harness]

id still take card sharp tho

if ur playing pairs

and want to beat ante 8

[lean spade]

can isn't much better than sharp anyway hee

[hasty harness]

ur setup should be enough assuming u dont run into the plant

or smthin

[white zodiac]

technically 33 but you don't need to do that

[peak hearth]

Even if I do, I'm confident Ill win

[hasty harness]

i mean photochad build into the plant is scary but okay

:p

[peak hearth]

Canio is carrying rn

[pale grotto]

I once have a deck of 11 cards

[vocal rose]

it’s white stake plasma lmfao

[hasty harness]

yeah nvm

💀

[vocal rose]

it’s impossible to lose

[hasty harness]

gonna win my first attempt ever at black stake red deck

unless i sell badly

time to baron pivot and kill the run

🤑

not actually but wow 💀

games given me so many barons recently

[peak hearth]

You got this brother

[cedar shell]

i love making bad pivots

[peak hearth]

Youre johning this

[cedar shell]

guilty pleasure of mine

[hasty harness]

starting the grind of c++

[pale grotto]

x2

[peak hearth]

Oh boy do I take the card shark

Okay I trust fouler

[hasty harness]

okay im getting id of the drunkard

[pale grotto]

Card shark?

[hasty harness]

pretty much guaranteed the win

[hasty harness]

card sharp

he meant

[peak hearth]

Maybe I can even run into the bananner later

Since it's common

[pale grotto]

No no no, now i want a shark joker

[hasty harness]

u shouldnt care about the 3x joker atp tbh

since the banana didnt kill itself

u cant find it

[pale grotto]

If you find cavendish he is going to expired in 3 rounds

[peak hearth]

I meant michael

[hasty harness]

i mean you cant hold it tho

what would you sell out of?

[peak hearth]

When I say later I'm assuming I'll survive to like ante 10 which is absolutely ungodly by my standards

[hasty harness]

no but i mean by then

banana will literally kill you

if you take it

• 15 mult does nothing by that ante

[peak hearth]

Actually yeah maybe I'll js fuckin forget the yellow stick

[knotty lion]

JOKER IDEA:
Barbershop Haircut

Gain x0.25 mult for every $0.25 you have

[hasty harness]

that would be extremely broken

[peak hearth]

And how much would it cost

[knotty lion]

guess

[hardy fable]

istg if it's a quarter

[peak hearth]

That would genuinely just mean X1 mult by each doller you get

[hasty harness]

yeah and that would be extremely broken

lol

[hardy fable]

yall just don't understand the joke fr

[hasty harness]

okay if i pivoted to the baron 💀

[hardy fable]

barbershop haircut that cost a quawtah fr

[sly coral]

thats good to know

[hasty harness]

game been loving giving me baron mime refcently

[knotty lion]

A REGULAR BEAT FOR THE STAR REPOORTER

[peak hearth]

And how? Did you have enough room there?

[hasty harness]

i mean the baron came like 2 shops ago i didnt pivot since ive done like 4 baron runs in a row now

[peak hearth]

Not to brag but I just scored 271 chips with a flush

[hasty harness]

but i could have sold out of delayed grat

if i wanted to baron pivot

but i just wanna get to ante 8

[knotty lion]

Adrien

Gain +6.7 chips for every time full house was played

(COSMETIC: Changes 'Full House' to 'Friend Group')

[hasty harness]

not go as far as i can

so i didnt

[peak hearth]

Why then?

Oh right

The grind

[hasty harness]

so i can go to the next stake

[peak hearth]

Yeah of course

[hasty harness]

literally my first ever black stake red deck run ever lol

i just beat green stake

[peak hearth]

Why is everyone here so good

[hasty harness]

and it took me one run

[hasty harness]

i mean this run was pretty lucky

polychrome banner first pack

and then delayed grat next shop

literally clears early game

[pale grotto]

-# dont look at me

[hasty harness]

then i wraith'd for a blueprint

💀

[peak hearth]

Nono fuck that, you're quite literally a good player

[hasty harness]

ight blue stake red deck time

[peak hearth]

Luck means nothing when a master is at play

[hasty harness]

i mean that just isnt true but :p

[lean spade]

booglr from judgement pog

[hasty harness]

polychrome banner + delayed grat first 2 shops is a recipe for success

[plush osprey]

booglr

[hasty harness]

vagabond spotted 🤑

[hardy fable]

a someone having a 74 winstreak on goldstake and one who has 84:

[white zodiac]

jokers debuffed by crimson heart will retain their current score if it were to be reset via crashing bus/obby licks/htr/campfire at the end of the hand played or round (end of round in case of heiro/petro)

[peak hearth]

Uh huh so maybe I misspoke

[hasty harness]

👀

[hasty harness]

like even if ur the best player in balatro like dr spectered

u cant guarantee a win every time if you get bad shop rng at the start

that can kill ur runs especially on higher stakes

[hardy fable]

I forgot who had 84 but it's someone in this server

[hasty harness]

same goes for naninf if you dont get lucky with vouchers

or jokers at certain times

[peak hearth]

I mean you'd have to be hated by localthunk himself

[tender quarry]

Who has 74?

[pale grotto]

Who has 84?

[plush osprey]

yeah but you can get like >99% win rate

[peak hearth]

If anything, skilled players reduce the impact of luck by so much that they're basically in control of the skinner box aspect of the game

[hasty harness]

okay yo yk how i said the game was trolling me with barons

💀

cant even buy it and i wouldnt have but the game is literally trolling

[hasty harness]

yes agreed im just saying luck is still a factor

[peak hearth]

Ur js getting taunted lol

[vocal rose]

save for grabber

[hasty harness]

ik that was my plan

[pale grotto]

In that joker pack is blueprint

[hasty harness]

econ and extra hands

:p

[peak hearth]

Mhm you're a wise man indeed

[vocal rose]

it’s a factor for losing via human error

[hasty harness]

blue print is the worst when you get it early

since you kill ur econ and no joker to copy

[pale grotto]

Let me dream

[peak hearth]

Anyway I'll move on thanks kids, see yall

[plush osprey]

you can lose with optimal play on some seeds

[vocal rose]

ppl get that confused with a % chance of just straight up losing because of an unwinnable seed

[vocal rose]

no you cannot

[plush osprey]

optimal as in you don’t have knowledge of the future

[vocal rose]

if you’re playing to the best you will not lose IF you’re playing like a robot

[plush osprey]

optimal unseeded play

[pale grotto]

Sometimes the optimal play is going for 4oak

[tender quarry]

I am curious about this if anyone knows, can't find anything in the server about it

I think I know who the 84 is but want to find lots of strong players

[white zodiac]

for winning it barely dents your efforts to get there. skill is the ultimate factor proven from the continuous streak efforts from ppl who play it all the while

[vocal rose]

pretty sure zebra mentioned someone that had that

can’t remember who

[plush osprey]

didn’t doc have like 80?

[tender quarry]

Doc was 67

[white zodiac]

we've reached 60+ streaks so itll take a lot

[pale grotto]

Poor zebra all the people calling him that instead of zeba

[plush osprey]

black deck is always a gamble

[white zodiac]

I've gotten like

5 on black

[vocal rose]

yes but you’ll lose to human error not the game throwing a wall infront of you

[plush osprey]

nice

[vocal rose]

the chance of getting an actual unwinnable seed is so minuscule

[plush osprey]

i’m not saying the seed is unwinnable, just that you would have to make non optimal plays to win

like going for 4oak in a boss blind or something

[pale grotto]

If the seed obliges me to play green joker then it is unwinnable for me and i hate him

[hasty harness]

what did green joker do 2 u

😭

[vocal rose]

but if it brings you to win, is it truly non optimal?

[warm kindle]

I cant take the blueprint 😭

[vocal rose]

optimal play is (technically) a construct

[warm kindle]

ig I can sell baron and duo

which lowkey might be the play

[hasty harness]

sell everything but vagabond

🤑

[pale grotto]

I like discarting cards

[hasty harness]

and then die

[warm kindle]

dont need to sell that much

[hasty harness]

i mean lowkey if u can sell baron and duo

and live

i would

[warm kindle]

well I def can

[hasty harness]

u get 2x tarot

[warm kindle]

it would be stronger but like, baron tho

[pale grotto]

How high IS that red card?

[warm kindle]

cause 9x on blackboard would def be better rn

[vocal rose]

wdym

[warm kindle]

+30

on red card

[vocal rose]

green joker doesn’t disable discards

[hasty harness]

i mean lowkey if ur just trying to win you might already have it

[dire inlet]

i love the things gamebreaks enable

[hasty harness]

maybe you dont need bp

[vocal rose]

it’s not burglar

[warm kindle]

it makes it annoying to discard

[dire inlet]

big ahh fortune teller

[pale grotto]

I know but he loose multi if you discard

[plush osprey]

red card is so goated

mmmmmmm +3 mult

[warm kindle]

grass is green

[vocal rose]

yes but only if you need to dig for value

[warm kindle]

fork found in kitchen

[vocal rose]

if you’re playing pairs that’s not an issue

which is what you SHOULD be doing

[white zodiac]

after a couple antes, discarding barely dents your score assuming you play 2oak and nothing more demanding for score

[pale grotto]

The last Game i was playing pairs, im doing that is only that there are so many good things that needs a discard like purple seals trading card mail in rebate

[vocal rose]

after you realize how consistent green joker is for gold stake gameplay you’ll start to hate it because of how boring it is

[white zodiac]

yeah 💔

[pale grotto]

And sometimes its rare but sometimes you dont have a pair in hand
