i like cloud 9
well fed kitty
oh 😀
ok ok
joker that makes things discounted
Flash not always but yeah this is definitely a good flash run
we have a few of those
so discount voucher into a joker
82 flash 58 pants
@pale wolf im gonna do a tierlist based on how good they are ante 1 first buffoon pack
early swashbuckler + egg combo. this run is gonna be so perfectly mid
Is red card hallucination a good enough combo to be worth itv
yes
over one of your mult jokers
i remember the tier lists for the rares for a1
ok but one list for each deck
bc theyre different
burnt joker sweep
I love ticket though
I had a cert that run so holo was fat and ticket was getting devils
going through all the stakes again on phone is kind of a pain
unlock all bro
no :(
Indeed he is
"I had a certificate that run so hologram was fat and ticket was getting devils"
sentences that would scramble a victorian childs brain
afaik that was the best score I've ever got
i think it'd be really funny to get at the very least get c+ on my phone too
the best score I got was 89 chips
Not bad for a ride the bus rn for straights
I got 90 one time
good.
I didn't got a screenshot tho you just gotta believe me
yea having to do 105 non-gold runs sucks for subsequent c+
source: trust me bro
they should make an unlock some button
Flavor wise why does hologram do what it does 🤔
prob the main reason why I'm doing black++ instead of c++x6
sell rocket for rebate?? rocket payout is $5 rn
I've already got naneinf and won every deck 3000 times on various stakes, I'm now going completionist
Rocket is awesome
you got room?
uuuuh
hologram means new picture so maybe adding cards are new pictures
show run
hologram in fact means new message
duh
eh rocket is fine
gram is grammar
w first draw
rebate can be 5 & more
The pair of 9's goes hard asf
ummm
What challenge is that?
Apparently it's just give me everything for a retrigger run day
huge pull
Should've realized, in no other case do you get 100 dollars on ante 1 lmao
I’ve been stacking my deck with jacks and 8s and taking ANY planet card that contains a 3oak, do I take dna on ante 6
does anybody understand what this joker means..? i cannot comprehend it !
honest to god
Sell this joker to create a duplicate tag
1.5x mult for every king held in hand
red card
don't take it
it's green
Do I take dna or not 🙁
like the plant
What's your deck composition
Maybe you don't need DNA anymore
Yeah you need DNA in my humble opinion
But let the big dawgs give their opinion I haven't even got base C
Hmmm
i say get rid of sly(???) joker
Sly is correct
This dna would be good if my redseal was a king
It’s just I have no other chips
mfw didnt have to use 2 hands
but couldnt have known
i keep losing white stake runs bc im so used to having 4 hands
The song by Kendrick lamar
lmfao
Actually I have so many bonus cards who am I kidding
very rough tierlist;
"how good they are ante 1 first buffoon pack"
You should go for bloodstone or something like that, you already got retriggers soo
half in the same tier as burnt is throwing me
you think its that big an indicator of success?
Getting rid of my sly joker cut my average score from ≈45k to ≈27k
and not cert??
practically guaranteed to win in one hand, otherwise basically guaranteed in two
is this for surviving early antes or long term prognosis
Obby licks is a low tier and that's all that matters ❤️🩹
indicator of success. just based on this throwaway tierlist and the amount of thought ive put into it, i think half joker is a better indicator of success as the first joker of a run than cert is
hmm interesting
cert is better if you survive, yes, but youre more likely to survive with half than cert imo
Speculative photograph?
straight flush farm acquired on second ante
ice cream vs popcorn is interesting
that should be reversed
Mf playing balatro on easy mode
i didnt do the usual cross-examination between jokers
where i check if each joker deserves to be better than every joker ive placed it above
I once got four fingers and shortcut, the concept of an ace, a queen, a 10 and an 8 being considered a straight is mad funny to me
ok now i want this but assuming theyre eternal
😎
right as you said that i rolled a free negative
Polychrome red seal king
beautiful
You could sell business card if you don't need the money
nuh uh
sad!
Obelisk tho 💔
making lilo work overtime
i do
yeah. hey i'll take what i can get
no you dont 🫳
I did
Fair tho, all negatives are good negatives
Except madness on white stake
what's the build with madness anyway
Bean my beloved#
Get lucky so you get eternal jokers that are fairly good and then get madness
Free win from there
madness doesnt feel like sauce to me anymore
or stuntman/andy, or vampire, or marble joker, or splash, or showman...
why not?
Splash wouldn't seem harmful directly tho
splash is harmful if you dont want to score those cards
madness is like chilli sauce
for rtb and thats kinda it
oh and throwing glass without breaking
we need more jokers with downsides
heats things up real good but really doesn't go everywhere and can actively make things worse
I can't think of a situation where you wouldn't want to score cards 😭 glass cards maybe?
evil joker: -4 mult
also removing enhancements with vampire + drivers license 
ride the bus
also yes, glass cards.
I keep getting early gold stake madness into like, survival eternal misprint
downsides careful limitations that influence but don't dominate your playstyle
Oh that's fair
And similar disfavorable forced options
splash is good with glass cards
overscoring while scaling with something like todd
like runner, ride the bus, green, madness
but splash prevents you from using your hands as discards in this sense
Predictions for score now, closest guess wins, (Red card +39, Constellation x1.7)
yo why is everyone pressuring ME and localthunk to release the new latro update✌️ ✌️ ✌️ ✌️ ✌️ 🥹
i dont see overscoring as a true "downside" because thats you "being punished" for doing too well.
half the time i’m playing glass cards TO break them tbh
150,000
I like it
Well thats not good
it is, but i dont consider it a downside mentally. its just a constant unconscious loop going on in the back of my brain, it's not joker specific.
im just nitpicking
Do I win free robux if I'm the closest
No
call you a mummy quarantined in a pyramid the way that's scoring 2mil
guys im playing green deck for the first time in forever is green joker good or nah since u get more money from hands remaining so its really harmful to econ to scale
if Splash is the one adding it
:((
It's pretty good despite losing a potential couple bucks
oh actually 2mil is way out, more like 700k?
well yeah but on green deck no interest and i have no econ atm
time to lose my 2 green deck streak rq
since run just started
you get money from discards remaining bro
so not sure
You still lose
i havent played green deck in awhile
Todd or chad here?
I win ❤️🩹
chad probably
uuuuh red card
Already on 60
so nothing
I got killed by the plant, annoying
pretty much
green has been so fucking challenging, mentally. i played 4 runs and im now on a streak of 2 but ive had to spend so much more mental energy on early decisions than on any other deck besides black
nah its todd probably
we plan ahead for this
green is pretty weird
balatro yoga
at least its not plasma or erratic...
i like plasma
plasma is easy
green is gnarly but interesting
ill streak one of them next
i like plasma
green deck should be rebalanced
not to streak at gold stake
plasma is a complete lack of thought the entire run thru
green makes pairs expensive and has some weird unspoken rules of econ management
it should be able to make interest
have fun streaking on it 💔
mf lost in rich get richer😭
Found nothing for it, coulda used my money but then my chips would be down a lot, and it's an easy challenge it won't take long. Econ is soo good here. I needed to go anyway so this just gives me an excuse
and make normal money from hands and discards
it's better to leave it untouched
and have +1 joker slot
plasma is probably the most challenging to streak imo if youre not 100% locked in each run, otherwise it's black because of how much your fundamentals need to be honed in which you only really get from experience
like I feel like the correct option is pretty obvious most of the time
and -1 hand
Plasma in white stake serves as to turn your brain off and play which ever you like
Any joker goes
Oh damn wasn't trying to @ you lmao
Alright round 2, closest guess wins (+31, +45, x1.7)
i think plasma is nowhere close to black in terms of difficulty
I have a higher black deck win streak than plasma if it's anything absurd
Play the 3oak see how it goes
second worst isn't putting any cherries on it
I realized my 4oak is better than 5oak
true
for streaking at gold stake "if youre not 100% locked in each run", yes it is.
late game derails are so awful
Level 6 compared to 2,
flush is probably better, but probably aint doing much
not being locked in on black deck just means you’ll lose in ante 2
410000~
I have experience to say that it is through failed streak attempts
respect bro 👊🏻
better mentally to lose on a2 than a7/8
ITS ALMOST THE EXACT SAME SCORE WTH
wierd build but i rock with it ig
I had polychrome red seal kings
Missing by like 100 chips wth
brooke got like a 8 black win streak or some bs
Yeah
dude this is so schizo 💀
now she don't talk here
I played them to get 5oak value hopefully for enough with baseball card but no dice
:(
i dont think you understand the difference that streaking makes; winning consistently on plasma is very difficult because you have to regularly pivot from chips->mult which you need to plan for from the VERY start of a run. black deck just requires you to be better at the same playstyle that matches with 90% of other decks. plasma is incredibly unique in how you're meant to play it, which can fuck you up if youre not planning for it all the time
2 decks left to red stake, magic and zodiac
😭 fuck is this?
W straight flush
plasma would definitely be the most mentally taxing to streak imo
yeah it has a worse learning curve but i think when played well it’s easier
About as a straight as a gay pride rally
Since 8,7,6,4 count as a straight and 8,6,4,3 count as a flush you got a straight flush
Mad wicked actually
a little confused tho how you die on a 10k score tho
This is why I love those 3 jokers, my new favorite combo is what I call “Smeared Pot”
i think if you have decent level by ante four it should be ok
made me uninstall
oh whoops now that you mention it i put my flower pot in the wrong place
so how many plasma builds are there
u have to try it to believe it
it's a 4 joker synergy
a lot
Didn’t even notice you had pot
yeah streaking plasma sounds like hell
more than the opportunities that show up
more than white stake blue deck??
Plasma is mad wicked for gold staking just ONCE, it was my second gold stake and it was hell
I got bad draws as well and I had 3 hands because I actually took the (hieroglyph i think) to get down an ante to mitigate the damage but nah. Also my levels weren't that good, there were barely planet packs and I got one level of 5oak, the rest were just waste of money considering I had the kings. I did the best with what I had at the time for what I was going for, I don't really care for it, it's an easy challenge
Thankfully the next one was magic deck and that one was very comfy
spent a minute figuring out what i should do;
take the hallucination, buy the pack. worst case i get nothing and i just sell it for $2 and buy the flash card
best case, i get something worth in the pack and i get a tarot
GROKER anyway
then i just wouldnt take a joker
AND DEVIL?
and i would take flash card
dang
U could have easily gotten away with that egg gold sticker tho
Fucking full house
okay so im gonna open the jumbo and then if i get a tarot im gonna take the other pack and then buy sly and death
I GOT A PAYOUT
also no decent card in pack
decent a1
Green joker and green deck
if i get 1 more eternal egg....
how often do you even take a non-eternal egg?
fuck
almost always if i have a free slot
very often
egg is a slot filler you dump if you need the slot nothing wrong with that
get midas and pray for vampires
temperance
nah i skipped
eternal egg
is fine
i’m taking it ante 1 buffoon pack
Just when I entertain the idea of putting a sticker on Séance I get photochad
oh i didnt realise todolists could have two different requirements
yeah
theyre independent
i am proud to say that i didn't gain enough traction and lost the run
would be annoying if they were both on straight flush every two rounds
Once the game rewarded my loyalty to eternal egg with an eternal swash
didnt lose a level of pair against arm <3
RAHHHH green joker burnt
$1 for 15 chips
my brain is permanently rotted even though i only spent 15 minutes on that run, i see basically any hand now and i think "that's a straight flush"
shortcut?
That always happens after a shortcut/smeared run
shortcut smeared 4 fingers
ah
pffffffffffft
:(
i love shortcut on checkered
I be clicking 2 spades and 3 clubs and going "why isn't that a flush??"
the only ever reliable neptune build
will two double tags do what i think it'll do?
Sell everything bruh 😭 I promise it'll be worth it
errm i just unlocked antimatter voucher but i still get the blank voucher in the shop? am i missing something?
nuh uh
i have lost the ability to play on other decks with other suits
Yuh uh
3 copies or 4 copies
i have too much on the line
Lucky cat is always worth it
u need to get the blank voucher and then u can get it in the shop
yes
tyy
Unlike obelisk
obelisk supremacy
For every run you first gotta buy blank voucher so antimatter can appear after
Obby licks is NOT all that bro 💔
ive had too many close calls this run
Typically you might find Blank early in the run and then you won't find Antimatter until past ante 8 
is there any world where i take ankh here? or would that be stupid
rebate and photograph are eternal so i could sell smiley + sock to copy stone
pb of what
unlucky
anyone? yes or no
green deck gold stake streak
stupid
k
no need to be rude about it
it'll grow back
you asked if it would be stupid
i almost got a green deck naneinf today bro but i didnt get a single cryptid w 10 spectral card blocked i hate green deck now
ty for listening to my rant
bye
stupid
#⚙・modding-general be damned
math ain't mathing
THREE CHIPS OFF WHAT
36,000
glass
high card photochad 😭
never in my wild eyes
even if you were dead this round, you couldve set up loyalty this ante knowing that needle would probably kill you.
unless you just got it
I got it from the very first shop with a poly tag
also this is OP right now so I'm good
Play the lucky first
nah
Why not
suboptimal farming
🤦🏽♀️
it wouldn't have given me any money anyway because I still saw +0 in the corner
😐
what
does the mod you have say the probabilities of the lucky hitting or something
i dont think i would ever want to use this then
that's kinda lame
this is no longer a qol mod, this just tells you exactly whats going to happen

savescumming simplified
so i was going for naninf and i got -nan, is this supposed to happen?
if it showed you the expected value & the lower and upper bound then it'd be fine, that's just showing you what balatro calculator can show you
but this shows you the actual outcome of RNG you couldnt find out without savescumming
You don’t know what the other luckies could’ve given you later on in the ante
Best to still play them to progress the hidden sequence or however it works
thats true, if you dont play one now you just get stuck never playing one
Should I sell the Hanging Chad?
yeah the outcomes of luck/probability based activations are in a queue for the seed you're playing
Sell a photo
i thought it was ante based as well
it is
already won 🙃
the cards that are going to be drawn are ante based and not round based, for example.
source: play a seed where you select the first blind, then skip and select the 2nd blind; you draw the same cards.
everything is separated into ante's in the game
not true
invisible joker isnt ante based
this one I know from watching an old doc vid
But what if the invisible copies the other photo?
then you didnt lose anything
based on the ante u buy it
that isnt true either
oop
YES it took several tries but now i got this unlocking merry andy and wee joker run in the bag
howd it go
it's under a queue
hands arent separates into antes
what if walkie talkie scored for 6 and 7 that would be funny
K, I'll do it
invisible joker is based on your joker array, it has nothing to do with when you take it and only to do with which jokers you have and how many you have
how do you get it to show the values below the jokers? is that a mod?
yes
rental sticker is in a different place on the card than perishable/eternal
i HATE purple stake
ohhh oki
with a PASSION
ty
jokerdisplay by @fleet zephyr
aw man im on the xbox version so i cant get mods 🥀
thank god
fucked up world we live in
i feel like jeb! rn
whats the highest wee yall ever got
hm nice
Should Blueprint copy the Hanging Chad or the Baron?
ive gotten like 1.6k
I had a great face card build going
Scary face, blueprint, hanging chad, photograph, and a x5 throwback
But then I sold scary face thinking I could get a better chip joker and it just went downhill
when you're lowk winning a run but you get hit with "No repeat hands" and get slimed out so you are reborn as the khaby lame mechanism
Hanging chad— triggers a card five times in total
K
i found a better quality version
That’s a x128 to your base mult with photograph
Baron
Play the jack
I hate Bloodstone
I feel like the fact you had a 5x throwback was not helping
Wdym
skipping that much is often self detrimental
It worked out fine, I was able to get to 200k with one face card
At least until I sold the scary face
What would you have suggested? (Not sarcasm, asking for advice)
Question
idol and burnt joker down, im getting there
nah
anti deck fixing
you'd just play ante 8 twice
Guess I'm playing straights
Good run anyway
I stickered Gros Michel, mad joker, flower pot, and smeared joker
Flower pot smeared joker was ultra cracked
i remember having a run where i got 3 natural negatives ante 3 after bying overstock and rerolling once, 3 on same page
if im playing a red seal flush five with sock at how many cards is it worth to copy it over photo
whats the best deck to complete all stakes with?
the easiest? for a beginner probably checkered
which one is that again
oh ive been doing red deck because i always discard a ton
the checkered deck
one of my friends came out as transfem do i tell them to get C++ in balatro
i meant what it does
makes your deck checkered
so only 2 suits?
perchance
Checkered / magic deck
percraps.
Magic deck requires a lot of holding R tho, so if it's not your deal, go checkered
r?
what are you holding r for on magic
Holding R automatically restarts the run
Checkered is the easiest imo
Starting with charm tag and then hermit
first tried pretty much the whole way through magic
Yellow and blue are also very easy
how did i even get past black stake on red deck
brazy strat
i would usually just fool the first mercury i found
and then get back to my regularly scheduled pair spam
oh yeah why is pair apparently busted
Allows me to be very flexible
theres no good jokers that go with it#
Name a bad joker that goes with pair and we can probably explain why they're good
most of the jokers are good with pair
Pairs are just very strong and consistent
the one that gives +80 chips
very flexible in that you can only play like 0.5% of seeds apparently
Thats 80 chips right there brotati
Brotato*
Runner is good?
gets you through early game
I can choose my build very early on
idk why but i get so many lucky starts on ghost deck
Yeah it is
Its decent, i like it a lot personally
hex and whatever duplicates card but then i get 0 good jokers for the first 20 rerolls
thats the same reason i play flush, alot of good flush jokers
not really
more than pair
there are a handful of decent flush jokers but most jokers suck with flushes
Like, not even close to true
name a good pair joker
what am i gonna do with square joker if i play flushes
Its there a joker that i can ask if he is good and in reality it isnt?
most of them ngl
Most likely
?av @pale grotto
i dont know any pair jokers u gotta name them
Card sharp, green joker, constellation, supernova
i think im gonna do this run now
I took an eternal troubadour
Time for fun
card sharp, the bus, square, whatever else you like
i can see all of those excpt green being good
isnt green just like... +8 mult
name any joker and it's probably good with pairs
family
Green is +1 per hand played -1 per discart
green is easily 30+ mult by the end of a pair run
a very rare exception and honestly a pretty bad joker
true
Green is +1 mult when playing a hand and -1 mult when discarding, its easy to not discard when playing pairs
Uh burnt is really good too
With pairs
So is vagabond
Burnt is the goat with pairs
ill test this yall help me with the build if u want, im gonna use blue deck pair build
Look, dont go into a run looking for a build with a certain hand. If you find like 2 hanged man by ante two and some saturns straight will be better. Just an example ofc. Pairs are considered best because of low risk and you can get so many jokers helping it
Just work with what the game gives you
A “pair” build needs something to help it start scaling early
Like a blue seal or a early to mid game joker
if you go into a run looking for pairs it's honestly fine
lol sly joker
that's good
i mean ill take it
Is DNA worth it? (Pair is level 31)
nat negative oops on bloodstone run 🤔
Save money till interest cap and then try to invest in packs to get a blue seal
Pair is also so good because deck bloat cant really hurt it much
kk
I lied, pair is level 24
What do you plan to copy with dna?
this is ggs right?
Foil queens
Its cinema
I mean if your aim is just ante 8 then i think that chicot is more valuable?
Yeah you probably right on this one chief
I planned on selling burnt
Now just look for a way to get lotsa only good sell option tbh
Chigoat will make final blind a pushover
Kill the smiley
dna doesn't even literally even do anything
The intimidating and harmful eternal tag:
oh boy oh boy
idol and brainstorm on ante 9
Also true, but maybe a few levels lost on pairs is worth it to make the deck a lil more consistent. Chigoat honestly removes all need for strategy apart from the small chance that you might just miss the draw
Idk
Depends on what his current pairs are scoring
Deep endless push time
Sadge
Why not brainstorm the Sock?
i did that on the round
Well idol is more score, but having more triggers on lucky cards is probably good as he might be scoring well above ante 9 requirements
For money
Wait, does idol only trigger on the first score?
ive got 4 pair jokers but im having no luck on any seals at all let alone blue
No?
Then just get planets normally
From packs
Why is it more score if you brainstorm the idol over the retrigger in that case?
idol only works once per ante actually
the money hits go crazy
Or just get a decent chip joker
it blows up afterwards
Exactly
ye thats what im doing now
ooo i just got telescope too#
peak
OOO half joker
Half joker is decent buts falls flat later on
i mean its good for my 5th slot for now till i find something better
that is a lot of eris cards
well i just found my replacement
How did you get so many negatives?
took me 3 days to get to this
How
so one weird thing about pairs is that you kind of want to win slower
i cant replace bloodstone yet cause im still not fully done with my deck
To scale better
ooo i got needle, that was scary
so one of the socks has to go
if you play 5 pairs every round to scale supernova you will win slower than playing with the half joker
Was the oops naturally negative?
but it's more pairs
yeah
anything that works really
Im very curious to how this was done
kinda sad i found baron mime in the same seed
anyone know what's most effective to copy with brainstorm? deck is currently somewhat fixed with queens
I mean its kinda between dusk and showman into sock after you have no use for bloodstone i think
sometimes but i guess its situational
for getting multiple blueprints / brainstorm
like u can get a second blueprint brainstorm
Not for pairs i dont think? Its for long runs, not for regular ones
The annoying part of Showman is having a slot you can sacrifice for it
the mega photochad
wouldve taken it if it was earlier, maybe right after blueprint but im alr ante 6 so yeah
the annoying part is not getting the joker u need
obviously the buckler my goat
Oh yeah, I guess it's also gonna bloat the shop
Depends on base mult right?
i should start getting glass real
Technically I know it doesn't matter but Smiley should be far left for max score 😬
True
i mean if it bloats the shop with a joker you already think is good enough to have in your lineup...
really? would have been the last thing i'd expect lol
ooo wait i got a blue seal
Another showman! 😄
you're right tho
i can start grinding up green a bit looking for it
another thing is that you can play 3 junk cards with a pair
So people
to dig through your deck without discarding
i win in like 1.5 hands rn so not rlly
w
What is your favorite joker combo?
you'll win slower if you're not proccing halfsies
Swash, Egg and Gift Card. The question was favourite not good so I don't need to defend it 😎
Red Card, Rocket
whats that?
1 sec i got ecto lemme see what it hits
jolly, its whatever tho
ill put blue joker in the new 6th slot
this is how to level up fast
😴
half joker
Starts with photo and ends with chad
did someone already make a "balatrify" TikTok account
brb making it now
"who is this niche joker who beat Violet Vesseeeeel??? this joker's name is Hit the Road and gains XMult when a Jack is discardeeeeeed!!! he's notorious for being a really good joker that can win gold stakeeeee!!"
wow one hit on like 15 triggers on bloodstone
lol fortune teller is better than half rn
so i have fortune teller now
Why does it trail each word.
Why erosion is so good like how, It shouldnt be so goated
What is your favourite joker combo?
True
i find it kind of inconsistent to dig for clubs just for 2x but it's a heck of a lot better than not having it
Finding hanged man while having erosion heals my heart
is just averages to like 1.5 for me usually
Rarer but true
yeah it rewards doing something you already wanted to do anyway
Instant gratification
Its not even that, its just the AMOUNT of mult is insane
Mmmmm...
Personally, my favorite joker combo ever has been smeared joker and ancient joker
Things like green squares or trouser squares, or even photochad haven't grown so much on me as this joker pair
I dont remember exactly but its 4 right?
It feels very satisfying
niche accent
Actually insane
It was +8 per card below?
took antimatter and also a second ecto
why is your bloodstone small dude
Fun, ancient joker is fun in general but with smeared joker its even better
Found dusk too it seems
weestone
there goes chad
LESSGO
Wee stone
X10 xmult if you have splash
Poor chad
egg
Feels wrong stop it please
Baldprint and skullstorm
rip lost on ante 10 small blind
We have a cat joker but where is the dog joker
lucky cat vs. funny dog
Skullstorm????
Inscryption???????
beautiful
avenged 3½ fold
Ehat would be the effects of funny dog?😭
butter dog, dog with the butter
whats the best deck for me to unlock plasma (beat orange stake i think)
honestly if you beat purple stake then any deck except black deck
Joker with something to do with the lovers kind of card
Idk
ive only ever beaten up to black stake
hold on wait
and it was on stream on red deck
illusion would go crazy here
invis hit sock 🔥
ghost deck is fun even if it's not the easiest. Easiest would be yellow or blue, same goes for gold stake
is the sock okay
we are cooking
btw why do yall have C in ur name
I'd say ghost is the easiest to climb to orange with
achievement%
eh
Blue and Yellow are stronger decks when optimised but as an unoptimised deck ghost is very strong
How do I stop photochad dependency? 😔
That is, it's easier for a newer player to win on them
trouser square is a bit overrated because uranus is already pretty strong
deck is almost done
just don't buy it
still very luck based and you can't just spam bad spectral cards (or good with drawbacks like ecto) without knowing what they do yet
Man i struggle so hard to get gold stake runs off the first ante. It feels like I cant find anything. Whats a good win percentage for gold stake to be an experienced player yall think?
But that's kind of what you want as a newer player
C: Completionist (discover and unlock every joker, consumable, and voucher)
C+: Completionist+ (win every deck on gold stake)
C++: Completionist++ (get a gold stake sticker on every joker)
crazy
anyways ima actually try ghost as i do understand the spectral cards
if it makes you feel any better, the first few antes are harder than the last few of 8. After a bit if you've survived long enough then you're capable of going forward
it's mostly money in the early game tho
and chips
ok so im playing pairs or 3 of a kind i guess, hi half joker
ok 100% a pairs run
got jolly
Holy, nat neg cavendish
rip
boss ante finna say ''you cannot play cards'' the second you doing good
Is there ever any plans for more friends of jimbo packs?
I hate Baron

Been playing this game slowly since january, finally working my way through abandoned deck and it's the most fun I've had with balatro so far. I haven't lost a game from white stake to orange yet
Makes so many hand types possible. Straights are a blast with abandoned
Eternal half joker 😭
half joker is peak tho
and it's foil
blue joker is a good chip scaling joker right?
its fine early
jesus christ
but it synergizes with stone joker
"who got crucified and came back after 3 days"
marble joker synergizes with stone joker
amen
+2 chips vs +25 chips
oh yeah it scales... down
but also not really
yey
yes it is
black deck done
the more cards you have the more chips you have
it scales well with shoot the moon once you start adding more queens
Castle scales well with smeared joker
anyways cool, barely completed white stake ghost deck because i got like no spectrals till endless
the amount of shit in the toilet bowl scales well with eating
Why people like to have great econ when the best joker (vagabond) requires you to be poor?
so theres this thing called money that can be exchanged for goods and services (shop)
Because going from great to poor econ is easy but the opposite is hard
I've done 4 gold stakes, i believe the only time i had a good econ were when i built around boots and bull at the same time 😔
Vagabond is a rare
It’s also not “the best joker”
And even if you anticipate vagabond you shouldn’t stay below interest
everyone knows the best joker is bloodstone right
Vagabond carried my last run 😔
I see a blue seal and cavendish
I mean vagabond can get license up and running in record time i can tell you that
It’s good don’t get me wrong
Blue seal came from the perishable certificate i got in round 1
But the run definitely has other decent running parts like @shell dagger said
Blue seals are really good
The only rare joker i like besides vagabond is campfire
Negative campfire gotta be the best art in the game
obby licks
obby licks
Blu print
Baseball huh?
base balls is decent
bbc obby bp bs stuntman burnt duo trio wee aj
they all just gone
we only like vaga and campfire surely
I get it
Who likes obelisk 😭
💔
any obelisk hate in #🕹・game-discussion is usually met with severe consequences
Obelisk isnt bad, its just not cool to play around it 😔
Its so joever, i can hear the stampede yonder
It has clutched up in so many spots for me its unbelievable
im busy eating chicken can we move back the obby licks misinformation to 4 hours from now
idk I kinda like free wins
Most of the time its a free x mult that needs no thoughts
off to get 200% and I just beat white stake on green deck😎
What was dagger at in the bottom right holyshit
uhh I believe at like 70?
ignore the first 2 being an obv self inserted challenge
dagger is good
You got a yt tutorial right in this very chat to teach obelisk?
Splendid
What are some good independent mult and chip sources?
Often time i die when im pivoting from my most played because pf the severe dip in chips and mult so suddenlt
Red card and square
why do people have jobs when you can commit crime
Runner if you keep played high cards low
anything that's not locked to a planet or questionable card scoring sources
Runner isnt instant tho right? My main problem is that i die during the pivot
Odd todd
independent basically means your score not coming from planets or nova
you pivot into obelisk
Ideally runner would already be scaled
Oh true
meaning your sources of chips/mult would be scaled already
You pivot in ante 5 or so, you don’t pick up runner in ante 5
In that case something like odd todd would be better
You can pivot to 2 pair being your scoring hand
The only time i was ever able to worl obelisk was as the only time i picked it up and i transitioned from 2 pair to full house
And it was glorious
Is madness a good idea?
My dream build in nebula is 100% supernova, constellation, astronomer, rocket and space man

fh 💔
I wouldn’t take it here
You gotta work with you got dont you?
no
probably a stupid question but:
if you copy a foil, holographic or polychrome card with blueprint/brainstorm, does it also get the respective bonuses?
you dont necessarily have to play ONE hand once you start scaling obelisk
I can think of 5 better poker hands under zero context
so full house is kinda funny since its such a shit hand
Most often i die from it is because there is one blind where i get weak. When i stop playing my most played hand to till obelisk reaches like 3x
try the monolith challenge
That takes around one blind
only time it would make sense is when you have on card scoring sources
And my build drops
what takes around one blind
Did it, but still can’t incorporate obby licks in normal runs, because of incompetence. But ill try to use you guys’ advice next time i see it
The pivot?
You need like 4 to 5 hands before it reaches good x mult i think but thats because i guess i usually dont have good solid base mult
For photchad is it better if you get a blueprint or brainstorm to put it on the Chad or photo
farming hands shouldnt be something you keep doing until it's too late and x mult takes priority then
Oh no, I specifically encountered a weirdly large number of earths that run, fb was level 6-7 i think
ideally you don't want to rely on planet scaling/scoring
you should be scaling instead of trying to blow through the antes
obviously it WORKED
Blueprint is better but if you only have one copy joker then for photochad it doesn’t matter
so it was a good choice
but you'll see the higher x mult numbers from people slowing down their gameplay to get the big number
No like I mean what should the blueprint copy Chad or photo
I mean but like, you NEED to score when you pivot right? Like, the scoring power drops for a few hands when you pivot from most played hand. But thats because i usually over rely on planets anyway
just as a safety net
Photo
The universe isnt letting me get better at balatro i went to go watch some balatro university videos and fucking youtube is glitched
independent scoring is essentially either scaling chips/mult or card source score like todd/fib. these jokers don't care what hand you play so you're not at risk of dying as you farm your obby when you underscore up until the last hand by dividing your score by the amount of hands you need to win and your reward is .8x mult
I feel like im dogshit even after watching 😭. Whats the point of having done c+ if i am still unable to clear early game with good econ
Makes sense, but i recognise that i rely on planets too much for it to be effective often, ill try to play around it and better in general next time
Oh youtubes fixed yipee
I thought that was just my phone
@vocal rose is it worth taking?
its bugging on my switch too
I thought i had a virus lol
the gist is to use hand agnostic jokers
I got 17 pairs played
round 10 ante 5...
yes it is though
100% worth the pivot
Is fibb hand agnostic?
its foiled so you get the chips sorted out a little
any joker that doesnt care about what hand you play
so if it fits that term then yes
On Gold Stake, Ah Double hell nah
like runner and pants as an easy example
once you start valuing scaling chips/mult jokers more you'll realize how crazy obelisk is
depends if you're barely scoring and your chips on your most played hand exceed like x3 of your current scoring capabilities (4 hands, 150 chips assuming barely winning, rough estimate)
since those jokers will always give you score regardless of hands
Card sharp should be rare
changing rarity wouldn't change much
I mean, i know it literally is but it might require some deck fixing. On second thought a lotta jokers dont carr about hand type but im usually just scraping by so i dont reroll enought to find any good ones
also card sharp is good where its at tbh
I love card sharp
yeah
That's just as crazy as my idea for buffing the Rare "x of a kind" jokers
has 2 hard boss blind counters
I mean its crazy until you run into the two hard counters
and prefers spammable hands
esp during ante 5-7
more so 6-7 when you're relying on x mult
where you'll likely just pass away
basically blackboard
I mean if it didnt have those counters it would be an even crazier joker which is unnecessary 🤷
so does HTR which also instantly dies to 2 boss blind, and thats a rare
so does trib even more so, and thats a legendary
but ik what you mean
yea so why are you using that argument
so does photograph
what argument
chipper started it
not mine
Not worth taking holo here right?
