[proper knot]

banana on the pack

[acoustic kettle]

I run flush

[abstract rivet]

sweet

[acoustic kettle]

[buoyant fog]

flush is alright early game

[bitter python]

yeah im gonna go ahead and sell tbh- serpent is next boss

[buoyant fog]

after ante 4 it sux

I always go for 2 pair or high card builds

[acoustic kettle]

It can hang on plasma

[buoyant fog]

and straights if I'm desperate

[acoustic kettle]

Esp more procs for bonus cards

Or arrowhead

[buoyant fog]

fair enough, especially with good synergys

[grim thunder]

Hopefully

[abstract rivet]

flushes can scale ok into the endgame if you can sufficiently enchance your deck a bunch

like a whole lot of lucky and glass are great in 5 card hands

and of course blue seals that correspond to the suit you are building towards

[hybrid tendon]

I mostly go for pairs lol

[abstract rivet]

yeah i don't really get why 2 pair when you can just pair

i feel like my non-pants 2 pair builds kinda fall flat, they have the disadvantages of large card size hands without that much of the advantages

[acoustic kettle]

2 pairs is just pants

[buoyant fog]

I like 2 pair because it synergizes well with a lot of jokers, not even just trousers

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[acoustic kettle]

And maybe black deck

[proper knot]

if you gonna 2 pair js full house

[acoustic kettle]

It scored a little more than pair

[buoyant fog]

I've gotten to ante 12 with a 2 pair build several times

[acoustic kettle]

And on black that's good

[serene forge]

other way around

if you're gonna full house play 2 pair or 3 of a kind because full house is fucking garbage

[abstract rivet]

which joker besides seeing double (you can just turn half the deck into clubs anyways to consistently activate it) or square (you can normal pair it anyways)

[buoyant fog]

Lemme just fish for full house

2 seconds later

okay run is dead, restart

[acoustic kettle]

If fh just 2 pair > if 2 pair just pair > if pair just hc

[proper knot]

fuh missclick

[buoyant fog]

I would say it works well with chip jokers, square, wee, blue joker

But honestly I always level it up as a nice backup for other builds

its a great supplement if you have let's say a lvl 12 two pair as a last resort

[wicked warren]

what are these judgement pulls (all but vagabond from judgement)

[buoyant fog]

plus its great for burnt joker too, since its easy to get and discard, and scales better than pair and hc

[proper knot]

play wee

[sage blade]

sup

[proven gulch]

thanks John Balatro

[proper knot]

beautiful

[dreamy creek]

did you know? judgment has a 0.001% chance to pull a legendary but only if obs isn't recording

[buoyant fog]

Egg and Swash always seems good but I can never make it work

I always pivot and sell egg just before I get swash

although once I had swash and gift card work and it was so satisfying

[proper knot]

not that good imo

just flat mult

its better to sell and get a better build

[proven gulch]

got an early eternal holo swash and stencil + ante 2 egg and that's basically the win

nearly got vessel'd though, lucky card clutched with 2 procs

[buoyant fog]

niiiice

I hate getting vesseled man

happened so many times on a perfectly good orange stake run

[proper knot]

violet vessel is so tuff

[buoyant fog]

its usually alright on anything before purple stake

[proven gulch]

stencil gives me anxiety

[buoyant fog]

Dude one time I had copied stencil and I got ectoplasm

best day of my life

then blueprint on top of that

[proper knot]

5 stencil the best build

[buoyant fog]

easiest win of my life

[novel brook]

Oi question

Best way to get 10mil?

[wicked warren]

if i find

[buoyant fog]

unfortunately I couldnt tell ya

[proven gulch]

photochad

or just do a baron run

[frank raft]

campfire perkeo

[proper knot]

its js 10mil calm down g

[proven gulch]

i mean if you're gonna do one anyway

[grim thunder]

I almost finish this

[proven gulch]

it's consistent too

[proven gulch]

no naneinf?

[grim thunder]

I did a naneinf on my first hours playing Balatro

[balmy ridge]

blue deck gold stake DONE :D

[lunar zealot]

Aj

[wicked warren]

bloodstone too inconsistent 💔

[unreal island]

wtf wrong with swashithan

wait

double legendary???

what the flip

[balmy ridge]

yuuurp

got chico ante1 small skip and canio from shop pack

[balmy ridge]

wdym he's chad

everyone is chad in my game

[grim thunder]

Fourth legendary of the day

[balmy ridge]

and a stencil lol

[twin lantern]

campfire, blue seals for pair upgrades, fortune teller, one good econ joker or econ vouchers, one chips joker (like literally square joker even), and two other good xmults

and use glass cards

I'm giving a practical approach. I could just say use baron mime

scaling chips, one scaling +mult, at least one scaling xmult is necessary. If the remaining joker slots are any scaling xmult you'll get there very quick

don't sleep on chips, even a +100 is insane

if you're going planet scaling for chips, replace it with an econ to scale other jokers

or use another xmult

this is just one approach and it involves one of the easiest hands so it's possible on most runs

[proven gulch]

grimbo or aj?

i think they might both just win

[echo tartan]

grimbo

[shell seal]

grimbo probably the best option

but u will have to sell mystic summit

[lunar zealot]

Grimbo is more consistent

[frank raft]

pretty much what i said

[stark karma]

Joker Idea: Miner
Uncommon

x3 mult if no cards are left in your deck

[frank raft]

that seems really bad what

[proper knot]

WORST joker

[stark karma]

It’s like drivers license but for cutting cards/ having lots of discards/hands

[frank raft]

still just not good

[stark karma]

Why

[frank raft]

that basically mean ONE hand is gonna get the three X

because you just lose if you dont have cards

[stark karma]

Not true

[frank raft]

unless your playing high card where you get 8 (yippie)

[shell seal]

Is like acrobat

but worse

[stark karma]

If your hand size is 8 you can play 2 4 card hands

Or 4 2 card hands

It’s pretty versatile

In that way

So it’s different from acrobat

[frank raft]

but also its a much harder condition to meet comparatively

[proven gulch]

i died by not reading the psychic

twice.

[stark karma]

Well that’s why it’s uncommon and license is rare

[frank raft]

acrobat is uncommon and just better in nearly all scenarios

[stark karma]

Should the reward be different then?

[frank raft]

also raritys mean jack shit because hallucination is common

[stark karma]

x4 mult?

[frank raft]

and hit the road is rare

[shell seal]

I think by the time u have a deck small enough to rely on that joker there will be better Xmult joker options than an X3

[frank raft]

so the rarity argument is hard to justify

[stark karma]

That’s a fair point

[proper knot]

^5

[frank raft]

i like the theme but it has to be diffrent

[proven gulch]

x400 mult and it'll still be mid at best

[stark karma]

Lmaoooo

[lunar zealot]

idol jumpscare

[stark karma]

What if it was money instead?

[shell seal]

yep fr

[proper knot]

^^16

[frank raft]

50!

[proper knot]

$1426e24

[proven gulch]

anyway why would you need to reward a good thing further?

that's just bad game design

[stark karma]

That’s kinda fair

Hm

I just thought it would be an interesting condition

[fervent wolf]

Challenge: the hourglass

Must beat all blinds in 40 seconds, game speed is locked to ×2 shop kicks you out in 20 seconds start with 4 dollars, 52 standard deck, 6 joker slots, 3 consumable slots 8 hand size

[stark karma]

Maybe it could work like DNA but in a more unhinged way lol

If played hand contains one card and no cards remain in deck create a copy of that card

Is that dumb

[shell seal]

kinda

[lunar zealot]

This Joker gains x1 Mult and -1 hand size when Blind is selected

[shell seal]

what benefit u can get from that?

[stark karma]

Duping the card you want several times

Digging for something deep and then getting more of it

[shell seal]

couldnt that kill u?

[lunar zealot]

Exactly

[proven gulch]

so free full skip whenever you get it?

nice

[ivory sun]

you can’t let the game make fun of you

[stark karma]

It’s also super risk and reward

[shell seal]

why would u want that card if u r already winning with 1 card

[fervent wolf]

The blind bag: ALL shop packs, vouchers, and cards are face down and cost 6 dollars

[proven gulch]

risk: get a really thin deck
reward: unthin your deck

[stark karma]

Maybe u aren’t

[proven gulch]

you're good at this

[stark karma]

Maybe u have more hands after that one

[vestal fern]

PEAK joker idea

The House

Draw EVERYTHING face down

[shell seal]

u could only play high card that way and you would also have to win with that play

[vestal fern]

jokers, playing cards, heck even the boss blinds and your consumables

[lunar zealot]

Actual Joker - Common
This Joker can act as a playing card and can be selected, played and scored along with other playing cards

[fervent wolf]

Banned tags: top up tag

[stark karma]

No?

[lunar zealot]

You can declare what card the joker is

[proven gulch]

The House

EVERYBODY lies

[lunar zealot]

yknow like actual card games

[fervent wolf]

Does it have to be a base edition card

With nothing

[lunar zealot]

If the joker is editioned the card is editioned

you can select the joker to enhance it

because it's a playing card

[shell seal]

For what purpose would you copy the card ?

[fervent wolf]

Can it break if it's glass

[lunar zealot]

So technically you just have a playing card in your joker slots

[lunar zealot]

Yes

[fervent wolf]

Would only take this with seance or to do list

[acoustic kettle]

It's like that one consumable in cryptid

Interesting

[shell seal]

what is the differente with a random enhanced card?

[proven gulch]

holy jank

[lunar zealot]

LET ME COOK

[proven gulch]

no

[acoustic kettle]

Does it get debuffed by crimson heart

Or verdant leaf

[lunar zealot]

Verdant leaf technically no because it's a joker

and i think we declare that the joker is a joker with playing card properties

[acoustic kettle]

Well it's a playing card as a joker

Fuck it get debuffed by both

[shell seal]

would that just serve to activate the joker along with the other cards? or does it have other uses?

[buoyant fog]

alright guys what should I go for here

[lunar zealot]

you can play the joker as a playing card and declare it to be any playing card you want

[buoyant fog]

should I go for pairs?

[lunar zealot]

if you have an 8 6 5 4 you can declare the joker as a 7 and get a straight

[shell seal]

ohh like an actual joker?

[lunar zealot]

yes

[umbral salmon]

Sell the invis for interest 🧠

[shell seal]

what invis? xd

[buoyant fog]

Wait invis

u mean stencil

also eternal

[acoustic kettle]

Wait that's even stronger than cryptid's

[umbral salmon]

Omg I'm stupid

[buoyant fog]

LMAOOOO

[umbral salmon]

Yeah

[acoustic kettle]

No?

[umbral salmon]

Stencil

[stark karma]

Joker Idea: Family Tree
Uncommon

Selling a rare joker creates an uncommon joker
Selling an uncommon joker creates a common joker
(Must have room)

[lunar zealot]

what does cryptid have

[acoustic kettle]

"Transfer" a card into a joker slot

Similar but it's one specific card

Not like this where it is customisable

[shell seal]

kinda

if u get 1 pair and a random card + that joker, it will be a 3oak or two pair?

[acoustic kettle]

I assume you declare what card that joker will be

[lunar zealot]

you declare it

[vocal matrix]

Help. Sell a Baron or risky ecto and hope it doesn't hit DNA?

[fervent wolf]

Challenge: the reprint

All cards have 1/2 to change all played cards to a random suit and rank, 12 hand size, start with a negative eternal splash, 1/4 chance to debuff all played cards of a random rank for 3 rounds, rank changes every 2 rounds, 1/10 chance to add a random enhancement, edition, and/or seal to played cards

Crimson Heart cannot debuff Splash

[shell seal]

thats kinda broken though

[acoustic kettle]

Can the card have editions though

Hmm

[shell seal]

u can use that jonkler without a limit of uses

[lunar zealot]

if the joker is editioned the card is editioned

[acoustic kettle]

Wait no

Enhancements i meant

[lunar zealot]

the joker can be selected and enhanced as it is a playing card

[fervent wolf]

Can't add seals to jokers

[acoustic kettle]

Glass steel gold etc

[shell seal]

if the jonkler is neg?

[lunar zealot]

Actual joker is a playing card

You can trance it and deja vu and talisman it

the only useless seal is purple because you cannot discard actual joker

[fervent wolf]

This is peak ideas yall

[acoustic kettle]

It's not really that broken

Hmm

[shell seal]

i mean

u will always have a pair

[lunar zealot]

Card art is the typical bicycle joker art

But made non copyrightable

[acoustic kettle]

Wait can it be used on ALL hands?

[lunar zealot]

you declare what playing card it is

so you can use it to complete any hand

[acoustic kettle]

Yeah so is it a one time thing or can you use it 4 times in 4 hands

[lunar zealot]

Not that it matters since many hands are still bad

[fervent wolf]

The mega mouth: you can ONLY play one hand type thr ENTIRE run, banned blinds: the eye, the wildcard, the psychic

[lunar zealot]

4 times in 4 hands

[acoustic kettle]

Holy

[shell seal]

thats why I say it's broken cuz it can be used indefinitely

[buoyant fog]

guys is hex stupid here

[lunar zealot]

x4 x4 x4

x64

[acoustic kettle]

Why would you

Hex

[lunar zealot]

x5 x1.5 x 5

X37.5

do not hex

[acoustic kettle]

What if hits blueprint though

[buoyant fog]

Thank you Kami

[acoustic kettle]

[buoyant fog]

I cannot math

[fervent wolf]

It can't

It's foil

[acoustic kettle]

Oh foiled

[buoyant fog]

Literally my plans are foiled

LMAO

[shell seal]

but that way there would be no point in playing high card unless you have a baron or some joker who benefits from the number of cards not played

[lunar zealot]

you still can't play a lot of strushes or ffives

and shit

[acoustic kettle]

Pairs are so free

[lunar zealot]

I guess this would be good for 4oak and straight

[buoyant fog]

also is it worth buying space joker and going down to 3x each

[lunar zealot]

but that's really it

[acoustic kettle]

It's good for anything

Make it glass and it's guaranteed 2x mult every hand

[lunar zealot]

before joker scoring

[acoustic kettle]

breaks

[lunar zealot]

and also actual joker can break yeah

[buoyant fog]

okay interesting....

if card sharp, I'd get 3x 3x 3x 3x

but only after the second hand

[lunar zealot]

9 27 81

but you die to eye

[buoyant fog]

True

I could sell on eye

[shell seal]

or needle

[buoyant fog]

Now needle would truly fuck me over

[acoustic kettle]

Arm gonna take all of those levels away

[lunar zealot]

WHERE IS BRO'S MONEY THOUGH

WHAT

[shell seal]

fr

[buoyant fog]

already beat arm

[buoyant fog]

spent it all on spectral packs LMAO

[shell seal]

i think something beat ur econ

[acoustic kettle]

He's always at 3 dollars every screenshot

[buoyant fog]

trying for ecto

[acoustic kettle]

[lunar zealot]

Starving artist

[acoustic kettle]

Ante 3 ante 6 ante 8
All 3 screenshots
All on 3 dollars

I respect the consistency

[buoyant fog]

Okay so should I card sharp or nah what do you guys think

also yes I spent all my money on planets I'm indecisive rn okay

[shell seal]

just buy all the planets at this point

just to be sure

[buoyant fog]

True

[shell seal]

[buoyant fog]

okay I'm gonna hold off on card sharp

I may live to regret this unless by the hand of God I get ecto

[shell seal]

how would u buy card sharp?

[buoyant fog]

oh wait ur so right

I was too broke anyway

I'm moving too fast bro I'm gonna throw this run

[ivory sun]

this run is sending me into a deeper psychosis

[lunar zealot]

Grabber :)

[bitter python]

literally just died to eye cuz of card sharp lol

[ivory sun]

the stars align every now and then

rebate doesn’t do the money if the cards a re debugged?

[lunar zealot]

Sell stuntman eventually

[lunar zealot]

Yes

[ivory sun]

darn

[lunar zealot]

faceless doesn't proc either

Neither does canio

[ivory sun]

high card wins rn

Fr I got so lucky on the boss blind

I was a bit worried because I didnt draw my glass cards on the first few hands but we got there

A negative hallucination is really good

[faint badger]

bro premoved that 😭

[wide kettle]

I didn't plan for the Anti diamond boss blind blew it. I can't seem to get anything past ante 12

[tropic umbra]

They’re calling it the most basic gold stake run ever

[shell seal]

the most avrg gold stake run

[earnest bison]

I just downloaded and cropped a bunch of El Goonish Shive panels. Would this one be good for a Jonkler's art if I made a meme mod?

[uncut slate]

i kept making dumb decisions on the painted deck so it took me way too long to get it done but for some reason this is what did it

which feels kinda weird

why is a baron castle build the one

i feel like i greed way too hard on painted deck

[north schooner]

Baron castle shoot the moon? You got the whole royal family there

[uncut slate]

because of the missing joker slot i see a good econ joker and think "yeah i can probably get away with dropping a scoring joker for this"

usually, i can't

[earnest bison]

If only he had a Legendary Jonkler...

[balmy ridge]

chad or invis?

[uncut slate]

glumbus

[balmy ridge]

glumbus is scholar that bad

[uncut slate]

i just like saying glumbus

[north schooner]

bog standard running pants build redeemed by swapping out the longstanding Mr. Bones for a clever joker that needed a sticker. I love it when the sticker joker is at least somehow relevant, if only in theme.

[balmy ridge]

thats awesome happy for u

[uncut slate]

ok what is this build

processing what's on my screen now

[earnest bison]

The Jonklers are really hitting the

why is fortune teller here

Standard gold stake build

[uncut slate]

what are you doing with dna

[acoustic kettle]

Nvm

[earnest bison]

Why is Fortune Teller mogging me?

[uncut slate]

idk what the sleepy kitty is

it's a cute cat

but idk what the joker is

[balmy ridge]

got a red seal foil jack of clubs so copying that

[uncut slate]

fair enough i guess

[balmy ridge]

early mult, looking to swap it soon

[balmy ridge]

raised fist

[uncut slate]

invis is kinda rough with eternals because it'll get stuck on eternals sometimes

[balmy ridge]

yeah i took chad

[uncut slate]

chad is just universally good

[balmy ridge]

building for face cards anyway so looking for photo

photochad is boring but whateva

[uncut slate]

red foil chad with any scaling mult is probably a win tbh

[balmy ridge]

not really

not on gold stake

maybe if i got a better scaling mult than fortune teller

[uncut slate]

yeah fortune teller doesn't count

lol

in my head i just ignored it hahaha

i always be takin that guy

[north schooner]

[balmy ridge]

i mean sixth sense is good but not to finish the run with

I think I usually end up getting bus, so I like my discards.

[uncut slate]

i do busburger sometimes lol

it's fine usually but sometimes you draw 5 face cards and cry

i am going to play 10 hands. i don't care what's in them.

i might just suck at playing for them

FUCK PLANT

[north schooner]

they're usually fine for me.

I had 4 cards in the bottom 16 left in that deck that would have let me add glass to that straight. Or could have gotten one addl lucky hit, or maybe played a few more pairs instead of trying to draw that glass straight or or or

4x 6s in deck, can i justify taking sixth sense?

5x 6s*

[gaunt nacelle]

that texture pack is so

interesting

[balmy ridge]

i don't think i've ever used a ouija it just never seems worth it unless you have a hand full of 2s

and -1 hand size

I made sure I didn't have anything bigh

is it crazy to swap hologram for sixth sense here?

[kind mulch]

Ofc

allways take the egg

I don't have Swashbuckler

so damn close

what an awful run

useless eternal smeared really did it

I think if bus didnt get disabled on first hand I could have pulled through

[tawdry burrow]

I decided to not take the eternal egg

[balmy ridge]

worst decision ever

Crimson losses feel the most unfair sometimes

[balmy ridge]

i think smeared is good in theory but feels pointless to use

[tawdry burrow]

I got banana out of Judgement

[alpine nest]

Question. How does the shop rng interact with planet tycoon magic trick etc

Are jokers replaced or are they simply pushed back in the queue

One time I had Perkeo and Midas and bitch decided to target my scoring jokers every time

[stark karma]

in what theory ToT

[balmy ridge]

you tell me, you're the one who took it

[balmy ridge]

no clue sorry

[alpine nest]

Like if in a line up of

Does it become

[stark karma]

8 ball and space joker are actually the biggest bums

[modest spade]

I love Space Joker

[manic talon]

Iirc they just push the jokers back until the seed rolls a joker instead of tarot/planet, the queue of jokers is still the same

Atleast thats what it looks like from a seed analyzer

[errant brook]

KZGP5KJ4 6th Naneinf seed earlier with a nat negative blueprint in ante 2. Was pretty crazy having that from the start

better not throw this

[balmy ridge]

you need goatbuckler

[ocean yoke]

whats that

[balmy ridge]

swashbuckler

[ocean yoke]

ah yea

[balmy ridge]

adds the sell value of all other jokers to mult

[ocean yoke]

yea yea yea just auto correct

YO

@balmy ridge

guess what i found

[balmy ridge]

THE GOAT

love him so much

egg for bull would be crazy

[atomic forum]

madness sure is goated on this challenge

[balmy ridge]

btw is erosion nerfed on abandoned deck? its usually -52 im sure

[manic talon]

Gift card is egg but better

[ocean yoke]

temperance is carrying it

[atomic forum]

yes

because its based on full deck size

[ocean yoke]

and i just found a gold seal

[atomic forum]

which is smaller by default

[balmy ridge]

egg adds sell more sell value for buckler

+3 from egg +1 from giftcard on the egg alone

[manic talon]

Gift card adds +5 there

[balmy ridge]

i said on the egg alone

[manic talon]

No joker is in a vacuum

[ocean yoke]

big bull

what should i sell

burgular?

wait

i dont need to

duh

and there is my first black deck gold stake win

[manic talon]

The sell value of burglar probably is better than the enhanced cards in your deck

[ocean yoke]

yea

[stark karma]

the blueprint brainstorm are def handy

[twin lantern]

too bad you arent

[stark karma]

??

[patent bridge]

what would u do

[twin lantern]

Guys whats wrong with balatro

[stark karma]

sell everything and quit the game

[twin lantern]

wheres the jokers

[ocean yoke]

the most

[balmy ridge]

take trousers probably

you'd have to sell sock and scary face to justify taking bus

and it's hard to work around with unfixed deck and only 2 discards

[patent bridge]

i went straights

correct play is trousers probably

i had to buy planet merchant to get more Saturns

[balmy ridge]

yeah makes sense with poly shortcut

[modest spade]

Free sticker

🥰

Another free sticker ❤️

[sage blade]

sup chat

[shadow mortar]

Yo can any1 hekp me

[rocky nest]

Hell yeahh!!!! Anaglyph deck

[shadow mortar]

This my position

Idk how to conver to baron mime naneinf

[patent bridge]

the infamous face cards straight build

[shadow mortar]

I need a negative

But chance of finding ecto is los

Low*

[iron sage]

dude...

[rocky nest]

I mean
There isnt much chance that you will get baron nor mime but you like gotta get slowly grt rid of the socks ig, the like only good joker you have for baron mime is dna

[primal relic]

Oh ..Balatro I see

Has anyone added mods?

[shadow mortar]

Oh k thx, but i need one neg to naneinf right? How to do that

[primal relic]

Okay so Naneinf is possible but.....there needs to be a mix of things

[cold finch]

GANG

whats a better joker

Scolar

or walkietalkie

[primal relic]

Walkie Talkie. No cap

[lost vault]

scholar’s my goat

[shadow mortar]

Holy shi

[primal relic]

Hm?

[shadow mortar]

M6 run extended right when i was btta die

Idol from judgement

I only need one ecto

[torn drift]

Pants

[shadow mortar]

And hopefully i can take it to naneinf from here

[torn drift]

Bruh 12 jokers

521€ bruh

[shadow mortar]

Diet cola

[quartz ember]

you kinda need to pivot before ecto

[shadow mortar]

I prayed he hit a mime but unfortunately not

[shadow mortar]

?

Why is that so?

Cant i ecto brainstorm for the one required negative?

[quartz ember]

if you sell idol to ecto bs you need to find scoring

[shadow mortar]

Hmm thats a problem

[quartz ember]

assuming it hits

also you dont have antimatter yet

[shadow mortar]

I think ill use glass perhaps? Or roll down with my 500 bucks, or maybe if i findna mime or baron i might use it

[quartz ember]

should have saved tags for voucher skip

[shadow mortar]

Im just kinda praying on that

[shadow mortar]

I used them for negative jokers

Unfortunately

[quartz ember]

yea glass could work, its early so anything could happen

[shadow mortar]

Lord of luck please naneinf

[cold finch]

OMG this is setting up to be a perfect bloodstone run

[patent bridge]

one more for my second C+

guess what deck

[torn drift]

Dog

Dog deck

[cold finch]

2 back to back runs (first one, bloodstone setup, failed to pop off) with black hole wtf 😔

Damn im getting out there

[torn drift]

Make a boss called black Hole that destroy the cards u dont play

[shadow mortar]

I AM DEADASS SERIOUS

[torn drift]

!!!

[cold finch]

i intend plasma deck to be the last deck

[shadow mortar]

Im on the edge of quitting this gamd

I rolled from plant to head

[torn drift]

12 jokers?????

[shadow mortar]

And MY ENTIRE DECK IS KING OF HEART

Im so mad rn

I cant even express it

[plush sierra]

only 1 stake left.

[torn drift]

U cant lose with 12 jokers

[vocal rose]

you can get that run back easily

[earnest bison]

We already have something called Black Hole, though.

[shadow mortar]

Not when my entire deck is debuffed

[shadow mortar]

How??

[torn drift]

What does It do

[vocal rose]

by playing more

[shadow mortar]

Oh yeah

[vocal rose]

ante 11 endless is very short

[shadow mortar]

I mean the last 8 plasma deck runs i had gottwn similar shit like 1k money, a lot of jokers but i cant ksep getting unlucky each tims

[earnest bison]

It's a really rare Planet Card that raises every hand's level by 1, including the 3 secret ones even if you haven't used them in that run.

[shadow mortar]

I dont even hv brainstorm mod

Im on mobile

[twin lantern]

that's not what you say to someone who lost such a good run

[manic talon]

Trying to naneinf on mobile sounds awful

[twin lantern]

yeah it sucks

i haven't gotten past e18 and it took so long just to score each hand

[manic talon]

Normal Naneinf is already awful

[shadow mortar]

I mean he is right though

[twin lantern]

..

kay

[vocal rose]

wdym its the most straight forward path

[twin lantern]

yeah

[vocal rose]

I don’t need to comfort him lmfao

[shadow mortar]

I can get there by playing more, but its painful to keep losing runs

[torn drift]

Cool, what are the secret hands? I know there Is superpoker

[vocal rose]

I did it and my phone felt like lava

[acoustic kettle]

1k money should just win you any run

You have so much buying power

[torn drift]

Not true

[twin lantern]

meanwhile that one wraith:

[torn drift]

If u get a bad boss u lose

[shadow mortar]

Yeah thats what it feels like, but not when you are cursed by the bad luck

[twin lantern]

it's a joke...

[torn drift]

Oh

[acoustic kettle]

You have 1k money

You can literally pivot all 5 jokers

[torn drift]

I cant understand joke these days 🙁

[shadow mortar]

But not the retcon vouched

[earnest bison]

There's Five of a Kind, (self-explanatory) Flush House, (a Full House that's also a Flush) and Flush Five. (a Five of a Kind that's also a Flush)

[twin lantern]

oh dw you're not alone

[cold finch]

Straightflushin?

[acoustic kettle]

Do you understand what pivoting is

[twin lantern]

fuck yes

[twin lantern]

take it to the moon

[torn drift]

No if u play bad with a boss u lose e everything

[earnest bison]

The humble Chicot:

[twin lantern]

valid point

[acoustic kettle]

No boss will kill you if you're buying properly

[torn drift]

Ok

[acoustic kettle]

And 1k gold

[acoustic kettle]

You're just trying to lose atp

[torn drift]

Ok with chicot Is ok

[cold finch]

Instantly crashed 😔

[twin lantern]

me with luchador and a will to survive:

[shadow mortar]

Yep, but pivoting to any jokers is impossible on ante 11, especially when every single card is debuffed. (Yes, luchador is easily possible, but honestly, i wasnt expecting to roll from the plant to the head)

[twin lantern]

pivot to two mr bones 🗣️🔥🔥

[torn drift]

Chicot + Baron build Is op

U cant lose

[vocal rose]

they’re talking about endless gameplay

[acoustic kettle]

I mean you have money

[torn drift]

Auto nininf

[cold finch]

Perkeo the mr bones

[twin lantern]

you lose on ante 39

[patent bridge]

alright GG my 2nd C+

now x2 C++

[vocal rose]

no room for pivoting

[earnest bison]

Pivot to singing the Ducktales theme at the top of your lungs.

[torn drift]

Why?

[acoustic kettle]

Rolling down to luchador should be possible

[knotty wraith]

you know i just realized what is even the benefit to taking the hieroglyph and petroglyph vouchers
like at a pro level having an extra ante to set up and get your build on track is great but like at face value why would anyone wanna play an entire extra ante with one less hand/discard

[acoustic kettle]

Right

[earnest bison]

Tl;Dr, integer overflow.

[torn drift]

Only boss that can beat Baron build Is plant

[twin lantern]

cus the game doesn't let you win even if you score naneinf

[vocal rose]

holy noob

[torn drift]

Ok but u beat the game

[earnest bison]

Good on you!

[vocal rose]

😭

[torn drift]

If u score nineinf u beat the game

[twin lantern]

no the game literally CAN'T process that number so you lose

[acoustic kettle]

The humble psychic

[twin lantern]

that ain't true

[shadow mortar]

Or suit bosses if ur entire deck is one suit🥺🥺

[vocal rose]

you beat the game when you beat ante 8

🤷

[cold finch]

Scaling cards. Additional rounds to level things like obelisk, constellation, lucky cat, red card, 2 pants, square joker, additional rounds to set up, to level planets

[twin lantern]

and even if that weren't true then you'd not have antes past 39

[torn drift]

Ok but there Is infinite mode

[twin lantern]

infinite has no end

;-;

[torn drift]

Ik

[twin lantern]

what's your point 😭

[acoustic kettle]

Infinite ends on 39

[vocal rose]

that’s a bonus that you cannot win

you’re beating a dead horse

[twin lantern]

bro 😭🙏

I'm stealing that one 😭

[torn drift]

So when u beat the game

Then

[twin lantern]

kn ante 8 yes

[vocal rose]

the game says “You Win!!”

[shadow mortar]

There are two types of players:

1. Happy with ante 8 win
   2)Taking the run as far as it can possibly go

[torn drift]

Bruh then the game Is easy

[torn drift]

Yeah

[twin lantern]

that's when the "You Win!" appears

[vocal rose]

do you have c+ or c++?

[torn drift]

No

[earnest bison]

Quoted from the Balala Wiki, "In Ante 39, the score requirement exceeds 21024 (1.8e308), which is the largest number that can be represented in double-precision floating point format, causing the score to overflow to nan (not a number). Scoring over 21024 points results as the score showing as naneinf (nan exponent infinity). Since nan is incomparable to any value, scoring even naneinf is not sufficient for beating a score requirement of nan (even with Mr. Bones), meaning that at the current moment, Ante 39 is the highest Ante reachable in Endless mode without the use of glitches to skip antes. A player is considered to have "completed" or "beaten" endless mode if one scores naneinf on Ante 39."

[shadow mortar]

Wait, i just realized.....

[twin lantern]

try getting a 67 win streak with black deck on gold stake

[vocal rose]

have you played gold stake?

[twin lantern]

holy roast

[vocal rose]

it’s not a roast

im genuinely curious

[twin lantern]

but it's also a roast

[vocal rose]

this is interesting

[twin lantern]

a very deep one 🙏

[vocal rose]

perhaps

[shadow mortar]

Cant people technically reach ante 8, put the seed in a seed cracker mod, and find out where each joker is located, which bosses are present, etc.?

[twin lantern]

dude's cooked

[torn drift]

Yeah so with Baron u can go to Ante 39 and win

[twin lantern]

have you played gold stake?

[torn drift]

No im on Red stake

🙂

[acoustic kettle]

There's no winning

[twin lantern]

that's why

[cold finch]

Yall thinking what im thinking?

[twin lantern]

chat we should retreat

[cold finch]

Ante 8 sais otherwise 😔

[twin lantern]

MONEY

[vocal rose]

if the game is easy progress through the stakes 🙂

[gloomy swallow]

are you gonna be smear joking it

[torn drift]

The stakes are easy

[vocal rose]

lmk if it gets consistent for you

[torn drift]

Arent

[twin lantern]

get to gold stake

[acoustic kettle]

Hm yes obviously

[torn drift]

Yeah *arent

[vocal rose]

when you have one stake yeah

[shadow mortar]

It might not be winning, but to the person who reached there, it is a win, since they reached so far thay the game broke down due to code limits

[gloomy swallow]

i had a run where i had 2 cavendishes and one of them went extinct the round after i duplicated them with invis

[vocal rose]

well even then red stake is one of the most impactful stakes tbf

[acoustic kettle]

For black deck

It hurts

Like kill me

[cold finch]

no but i will be the peter the postman

[earnest bison]

Things get a lot harder later, despite how innocuous things seem at first. (Blue Stake and onwards is where shit gets really annoying.)

[vocal rose]

I’m achieving my third c++ with black deck only

😀

[shadow mortar]

Bro is crazy

[shadow mortar]

But how r u gonna get the deck stake wins?

[vocal rose]

wdym?

I’ll just beat all the stakes leading up to gold with black deck

[shadow mortar]

To get completionist ++, dont u need to win all decks with all stakes?

[vocal rose]

no

that’s c+

c++ is ALL jokers gold stickered

[acoustic kettle]

Technically c+ is a requirement for c++

[earnest bison]

You're cooked.

[vocal rose]

it isn’t

you can unlock c++ without getting c+

[vocal rose]

proof: me

[acoustic kettle]

Are you really a completionist++ if you're not even complesionist+

[vocal rose]

oh i’ve done c+ once

[earnest bison]

C++ is C++, except for when it's C++ as in coding.

[vocal rose]

it’s boring

[shadow mortar]

According to my knowledge, c++ is a coding language

[vocal rose]

ion wanna sit through the lower stakes they so boring

[acoustic kettle]

cout << "hello world";

[earnest bison]

Try reading your favorite webcomic as you play, like El Goonish Shive or Abridgestery Dungeon.

[manic talon]

Its almost like youre supposed to go from C+ to C++ instead of shotgunning C++, crazy design

[shadow mortar]

Nah idk c++ but i do know py(ik this is kinda off topic

[earnest bison]

Fuck it we ball.

[earnest bison]

I'm learning JS.

[vocal rose]

but then I’ll just get distracted

[shadow mortar]

Nice, isnt js a oop language?

[earnest bison]

A few misplays will make the run more interesting.

[earnest bison]

I dunno.

[vocal rose]

true

but I like focusing on one thing

[shadow mortar]

Why do all discord servers go off topic in 69 seconds?

[vocal rose]

and multi tasking is an impossible thing humans cannot do

unless they’re autonomous

[sage blade]

new player with a fresh seed

[earnest bison]

I just have that ESENCIA, I guess.

[vocal rose]

or unconscious

[shadow mortar]

Anyway cya, gotta grind more white stake plasma😭😭

[earnest bison]

Bye.

[fickle sluice]

[cold finch]

ARE YALL THINKIN WHAT IM THINKIN

[fleet monolith]

does anyone know where i can learn more about the games future update?

[dim spruce]

Do it

[fleet monolith]

or is it like. nobody knows?

[dim spruce]

Pretty sure the most we know, is that it's coming out sometime next year

Probably

[fleet monolith]

pain

[dim spruce]

Extreme

[compact halo]

Hi guys

[tranquil cedar]

Hi guy

[compact halo]

Hiii

[tranquil cedar]

heya

[acoustic kettle]

Thunk is slow

[manic talon]

Best way is probably to check on this blog from time to time, https://localthunk.com/blog/im-slow as a bonus you dont have to interact on discord

[acoustic kettle]

I'd reckon i can easily beat thunk in a 1v1

[tranquil cedar]

in balatro, right?

...right??

[ocean lily]

i beat the challange that gives u eternal ride the bus with a shoot the moon+ photo build

[simple bronze]

this is ggs

fuck paradolia reset my bus

[tight knoll]

Okay Short Question I play on ios and I had a really nice run, I did a mistake, and I lost on purpose to do it again. Than I copied the Seed, but it didn’t work, is there any way to find the seed out?

[fleet monolith]

anyone wanna play vanilla pvp with like 6/7 lives?

[finite spade]

looks inside

[harsh pine]

credit card in the buffoon pack

[rocky nest]

Double tags

[harsh pine]

i got my hgih score today

e13 and ive played 80 hours

is this good progress

[twin lantern]

well...

[fleet monolith]

in 80 hours

[twin lantern]

highscore is a bad indicator for how well youre doing

[fleet monolith]

kinda cooked ngl

[twin lantern]

My hs is like 500million

[fleet monolith]

oh

well

[twin lantern]

but my highest streak is 7

[fleet monolith]

nvm u doing great aj

[harsh pine]

my highest streak is 4

[simple bronze]

throw back is such a good joker

[harsh pine]

i dont do many white stake runs

[lyric shore]

yea streak or winrate is way better

on gold

[harsh pine]

winrate on gold is cooked

i onyl have one

[fleet monolith]

i mean its a single player game, so if ur idea of better is getting the highest score u can

[twin lantern]

its about winning more than endless as you only get a few joker unlocks and achievments from anything beyond ante 8,

[fleet monolith]

then id say ur doing better

[harsh pine]

is it normal to skip more then half the blinds

[twin lantern]

id say play 10 gold stake runs and find the ratio between wins and losses

[fleet monolith]

no fam

[violet bear]

Damn you don’t need to flex that hard on us

[harsh pine]

but what if its like

[simple bronze]

ay got sticker on selzer

[harsh pine]

a negative skip tag early game

[fleet monolith]

why u looking for negatives early game

[lyric shore]

even worse

[harsh pine]

idk man

[fleet monolith]

get ur lineup first lol

[harsh pine]

i play the game very

weirdly

[twin lantern]

Its normal to skip zero blinds during a run

💀

[harsh pine]

bro what

[twin lantern]

skips are mostly bad

[fleet monolith]

unless ur playing to try and get past ante 11 or sm

[twin lantern]

your reward for beating a blind is the shop

[fleet monolith]

and u get some tag synergy or sm

[harsh pine]

@native heath dr spectred

[fleet monolith]

u shouldnt be skipping

[harsh pine]

on my ifrst win

like

on ym thrid wan

i only played the boss blinds

i think im too used to skipping

[twin lantern]

this doesnt prove or disprove anything, Throwback is usable doesnt mean its good

[lyric shore]

try 0 for a run

[twin lantern]

🤷‍♀️

[harsh pine]

i cant

[fleet monolith]

lol i cant he says

[harsh pine]

i have to skip

[fleet monolith]

wdym u cant

[harsh pine]

i have to skip

[fleet monolith]

just dont skip bruh hahaha

[harsh pine]

i have to always skip

im meant to skip

[twin lantern]

skipping means you lose econ/scaling and a shop, its advised to only take skips if

[fleet monolith]

born to play like normal yet forced to skip by mother nature

[twin lantern]

youre depending on a parishable

or

[fleet monolith]

i mean im mostly a multiplayer gamer

so skips can be a bit more usefull there

[twin lantern]

youre doing anaglyph and found a really cool skip well u have a good amount of double tags

[fleet monolith]

but skipping as a single player, cant see a single reason to do that

[harsh pine]

born to skip

just play checkered deck

skip the first two

[violet bear]

The +18 pair levels gambit

[fleet monolith]

go play some multiplayer and skip when ur idol hits to go into pvp

best feeling

[modest spade]

pairs if they were cool and awesome

[harsh pine]

bro i had so much potential in a run

but no deckgixing tarots

[lyric shore]

sure but that isnt skip every blind

[harsh pine]

fixing

[modest spade]

who needs blue seals anyways?

[simple bronze]

orbital tag and investment says hi

[twin lantern]

think of it this way
your reward for beating a blind isnt the small amount of prize money, its the shop itself, as the shop will always have more value than anyskip (including skip tags)

[fleet monolith]

lol no, im just tryna give him valid reasons to skip

[harsh pine]

but you have to

spend money

in the shop

[fleet monolith]

my boy over here a skipahollic

[harsh pine]

yea boi

[violet bear]

This space man has a pair

[lyric shore]

do you have to spend 😭

[harsh pine]

roffle lite mentioined

[twin lantern]

learning balatro is learning how to manage your econ to make every shop count

[harsh pine]

ill probably reroll all my money away

by accidnet

[violet bear]

To then consequently get giga fucked by the vessel that is violet

[twin lantern]

money derectly turns to score or more money, so you need to learn how to always have good econ

[violet bear]

Peak balatro

[fleet monolith]

not everyone gets it. ive been trying to teach my gf, who is literally smart enough to be completing her masters rn.. and she still hasnt beat red deck white stake without help a single time

[modest spade]

Nuh

[twin lantern]

VV isnt that hard once you get to randomly facing it a 100plus times

[fleet monolith]

its like some people close off to understanding what they have to do to be better

[twin lantern]

intelligence isnt general in any sense, IRL advice right there

[violet bear]

Its manageable as long as you get to ante 8 with good econ or prepare yourself for it early yeah

[simple bronze]

ok then anti skippers what not nothing good in this shop

[fleet monolith]

so ive come to terms with

[violet bear]

I’ve had a x4 every 5 hands jonkler early on that saved my ass into vessel one run

[twin lantern]

Coming to terms? bruh its just an identififiable pattern

[violet bear]

Can never remember his name

[twin lantern]

loyalty card

[violet bear]

That one

[twin lantern]

i was saved by LC once

against vv

[violet bear]

Almost never comes up but when he does its clutch

[lyric shore]

the pack

[twin lantern]

hes only good if you can get enough hands to use him like acrobat

[simple bronze]

i got nothing good

[twin lantern]

otherwise its a headahce

[simple bronze]

i could have gotten a free poly chrome smh

[twin lantern]

CASTLE

[lyric shore]

wdym nothing good

[violet bear]

Or if you do some really convoluted and fucked up math including skips to warrant the 4x when you want it

[twin lantern]

WTF

If you dont think castle is good

than you got a brain worm

[lyric shore]

steven is fine too

good pack

[twin lantern]

but castle isnt parishable

like

castke

[violet bear]

Castke

[twin lantern]

is S tier ante 2

let alone ante 1

[violet bear]

Yeah early castle you’re basically set for the whole run on chips

[simple bronze]

castle no good

stuntman better

[pale wolf]

continue losing

[simple bronze]

stunt man photo and chad is goated settup

[twin lantern]

Schauen Sie sich diesen dummen Amerikaner an, der sich über einen Tippfehler lustig macht, als wäre er nicht dazu verdammt, die schlimmste europäische Sprache zu sprechen, bis er seinen beleidigenden Job aufgibt.

[floral mural]

but you got offered castle here not stuntman

[twin lantern]

castle > stuntman

easily

[quartz flicker]

balatro at 6am hits hard

[floral mural]

like how do you expect to win consistently if you dont take solid options that arent the best in their niche

[harsh pine]

shit

i accidentally

sold m yblueptiny

[floral mural]

you take what you get you dont hope for the perfect joker setup

[pale wolf]

so go to main menu and save scum it

[simple bronze]

fine i took steven i win?

[buoyant ridge]

ante 39 speedrun

[lyric shore]

fire start

[floral mural]

this shop would be a noobs dream if that photo wasnt perishable

[simple bronze]

congtats on the win

[floral mural]

yes i did buy the pack instead of takjng photo

[twin lantern]

photo is ass

lol

[floral mural]

my ass wasnt that desperate

[twin lantern]

no one pressing against that

[manic talon]

Why would you ever buy a perishable photo ante 1

[floral mural]

if i was desperate on black deck

[twin lantern]

you like losing

[simple bronze]

so you can find a perishable chad in ante 2
