[plain mirage]

[thick haven]

holy grail of ouija

[granite ridge]

yeah it is chad glass

uhhh right? idk math

[plain mirage]

just count man

[granite ridge]

our brain is shrinking dot png

[granite ridge]

numbers are hard ok

[olive marten]

fuck i say

club queen flush 5 run

[granite ridge]

that guy is goated, would never do a missplay

not really but he should know basic things like taht

[modern panther]

Does this work with all stone?

[cosmic sun]

family splash stickers

[dim granite]

He had lucky cards so I'm assuming that's why + he was scoring enough either way

[plain mirage]

hes copying perk while in shop ofc, and if he doesn't need the scoring and can oneshot he doesn't need to move it at all, would copy chad for retrig effects

[cosmic sun]

81% to C++

[dim granite]

I just wanted to confirm cuz I saw he was copying Chad and I thought photo was better so wanted to make sure lul

[plain mirage]

chad copy is for max scoring, and yeah blueprint has a ton of different usage based on situation

i meant photo

shh

[granite ridge]

what is this image

[shadow sundial]

gabagool

[shadow sundial]

emkay in the big 25 bro

[modern panther]

Okay, we are so back

[shadow sundial]

go back to covid with the matt rose fans

[granite ridge]

oh shit taht guy is still going tahts crazy

WHY DO I KEEP MISTYPING "THAT"

[modern panther]

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK

[granite ridge]

hell yeah

[plain mirage]

+3 stickers, the deck only has 2 real jokers and i fullskipped to the end as u can see from the tags

[eternal anchor]

FUCK YEAH EAT IT VESSEL

[plain mirage]

[granite ridge]

perished jimbo carried

[granite ridge]

dayum

[modern panther]

I have been avenged

[granite ridge]

how

[plain mirage]

jimbo will now have gold sticker everytime he appears in game over to mock me

maxwin

im the blue seal lover for a reason

[vocal quartz]

fuck the pillar

[modern panther]

I have no words...

[still frost]

I do:

It's okay I guess but you have stone cards

[modern panther]

DOUBLE SHINY ROCK

[zinc karma]

I lost a run with 2 blueprints, 1 stencil and a chad cuz my 5oak didnt score as much as i thought it would

Yay

[granite ridge]

uh does your stencil have any mult with that many jokers

couldve scored more of theres no chad i think

[modern panther]

PFFT

[buoyant fog]

so sad its not a mega pack

[solid tapir]

ended up doing it manually

stinky bug

[buoyant fog]

stone joker is a great chip joker too

[solid tapir]

stone joker disappears when I take the speculative marble joker

otherwise he does his best to show up in every other run

[buoyant fog]

I only ever get stone joker when I have marble joker

[granite ridge]

you never used tower for no reason maybe

it cant show up if you dont have stone cards iirc

[buoyant fog]

wait marble joker?

you can get marble without stone, it happens all the time

[granite ridge]

stone joker

[mint jetty]

Thanks for the free 6 gold stickers trib

[cosmic sun]

wow, getting all the dookie out the way

except jimbo, jimbo the goat

[modern panther]

If only this wasn't a challenge run...

[mint jetty]

I like stone joker not because i think he's good but he's fun

[cosmic sun]

it's okay I just find it slightly redundant sometimes

and obviously rare

[mint jetty]

I like stuffing my deck with stone cards

I wish he was a + mult scaler

[cosmic sun]

if only

[modern panther]

The one soul i don't take

[proven gulch]

chuck space what are we doing

[mint jetty]

Space is the goat

[modern panther]

I lost? (F4DWN74E)

[zinc karma]

2x
2³

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[serene forge]

blue screen

you did not lose

[modern panther]

Ik, but I expected to go further

[serene forge]

well an eternal marble joker was probably not the play then

[modern panther]

Also, what is this double or nothing seed?

[modern panther]

Medusa challenge

[serene forge]

shrug

[modern panther]

You can tell from the challenge deck card background

And the fact that i had an eternal marble joker on white stake

[serene forge]

can you even play set seeds with challenge decks

[mint jetty]

Alternative universe

[serene forge]

i don't think you can

[mint jetty]

I dont think you can

[fervent wolf]

No

[night turret]

Should I reroll?

[granite ridge]

balatro players when a joker that is meant to be strong with setup isnt good without setup

[night turret]

Nah fuck it

I won’t

[modern panther]

No, but just in case there was a marble in there somewhere

[granite ridge]

looks like youre playing small hand type anyway its fine

[serene forge]

nah

[modern panther]

Also, wtf

[serene forge]

you probably should be skipping less though

[modern panther]

I don't need more retriggers

Only one I need is mime

[serene forge]

what are you even retriggering

don't the cards get disabled after you use them once anyways

[granite ridge]

pvp players would never

[modern panther]

Queens in hand

[night turret]

And we got cooked once again chat

[serene forge]

that's not how it works

lol

[granite ridge]

theyre aware pretty sure

[modern panther]

Red seals. Double or Nothing starts you with a deck full of red seals

[fervent wolf]

It's a er

[granite ridge]

white stake btw

[night turret]

Bruh it’s plasma btw

[serene forge]

skip less next time

[night turret]

I’m trying to unlock ante 12

[modern panther]

Plus, if you enhance a debuffed card, it's no longer debuffed

[fervent wolf]

Not that hard

[serene forge]

hope you can enhance your cards every round then

[granite ridge]

looks inside

double banan

[fervent wolf]

Yes, lucky invis

[modern panther]

I just took the Hack and chad bc funni

[wintry ice]

getting to ante 12 involves a lot of xmult

[serene forge]

before you get to ante 12 you need to get past ante 8 i think

[fervent wolf]

Hmm....not sure tho

[modern panther]

MORE MONEY

[fervent wolf]

Plant is easy what yall talking about

[modern panther]

Jesus Christ...

[fervent wolf]

Bye golden!

[thick haven]

am i dead here? (high card lvl5, 5oak lvl2)

[fervent wolf]

Challenge: Demolition

ALL jokers are destroyed at the end of the boss blind, gain the sell value of all jokers destroyed at the end of the boss blind, 10 Joker slots

[fervent wolf]

Yes, obviously

You have only scored a tenth of a sixth and have one hand left

[thick haven]

mime always gotta hide from me bro

[fervent wolf]

I haven't play yellow deck in a while

[twin lantern]

holy no scaling

basically spam planets

and get one xmult per ante

good challenge tho

[fervent wolf]

What if I made it so that jokers keep all current scaling they had when they were destroyed

[twin lantern]

that's gonna make it complicated

this is a good challenge

put it in #1155557846805643434

[fervent wolf]

It's suggestion worthy??

[twin lantern]

very rng based though so I'm not sure but i like it

I'll upvote it even if everyone else hates it

[twin lantern]

people put so much garbage in there you don't even have to think about if it's good enough
-# I'm not saying yours is garbage

[heavy heron]

could’ve used a mime or two

[twin lantern]

chat I'll advertise my suggestion cus why not
#1429415961676611594

[twin lantern]

god that sucks

[heavy heron]

i mean i still won LOOLL but mime would’ve been cool

[fervent wolf]

The only game idea I made that I like is a boss blind

[twin lantern]

i also wanna see number go up 👍

[twin lantern]

what?

[twin lantern]

I've only made like 3 suggestions and 2/3 were upvoted

[modern panther]

Apology accepted, Jimbo Balatro

[fervent wolf]

The Wildcard:

Combines 2 boss blinds together

(Cannot combine the mouth and the eye)

Or

The no-waste

Cards drawn face down after discard

[twin lantern]

I'm sorry but both are bad

[cloud sinew]

needle/water
fish/house
flint/wall
serpent/psychic

[modern panther]

Apology absolutely accepted

[fervent wolf]

Deal with it

[cloud sinew]

so many combos that just... completely fucking kill 90% of runs

[cloud sinew]

thats bad game design

[acoustic kettle]

Needle/water/psychic combination

[fervent wolf]

And then you get Chicot

Or Luchadore

[twin lantern]

why bp bs not kissing

[cloud sinew]

you should not need a specific joker to counter a boss blind

[fervent wolf]

The Needle: Burglar

[twin lantern]

❌

it's not NEEDED

[cloud sinew]

it isnt necessary

[acoustic kettle]

Suit/suit/suit

Play flushes

[fervent wolf]

You still don't, with the right build, almost any blind is conquerable

[cloud sinew]

???

needle/water is just "hope your initial draw wins the blind"

[twin lantern]

nope

2 discards:

3 hands:

[cloud sinew]

WATER

[cloud sinew]

NEEDLE

[twin lantern]

3 HANDS

[cloud sinew]

i feel like you are missing

a lot of context

[twin lantern]

2 DISCARDS

[modern panther]

Wat

[cloud sinew]

this is about BOSS COMBINATIONS

[fervent wolf]

THE COMBOS

[twin lantern]

oh COMBINATIONS

OH

SORYY

CHAT

[cloud sinew]

do not act so arrogant when you are missing context

[twin lantern]

I'M SORY

[cloud sinew]

its okay just dont be so arrogant next time

[twin lantern]

i was joking but sorry

i didn't mean ro act arrogant anyway

[cloud sinew]

thats fair

[twin lantern]

english isn't my first language mb*

[fervent wolf]

Months ago, my first flush five 🥹

[serene forge]

Pepper

[fervent wolf]

Salt

[modern panther]

My gods, it's beautiful...

[fervent wolf]

Hold on why both

[modern panther]

Oh, no, I forgot to sell my consumables, whatever will I do?

[shy abyss]

the combo one is horrific, the other isnt different enough from water

[fervent wolf]

Here's a joker idea that some said was good

Stamp: Uncommon

Price: $6

All played cards have a 1/7 chance to receive a random seal when scored

(They obviously can't already have a seal or they won't receive one)

[proper knot]

cool joker concept

would make it rare tho

[stark karma]

Even 1/8?

[fervent wolf]

Nope, 1/7

[fervent wolf]

I was thinking that as well

[shy abyss]

seems like a less interesting version of passport from EC imo

[serene forge]

lore accurate hanging chad

[proper knot]

bro

gigachad

[twin lantern]

holy fucking megachad

[shy abyss]

like certificate let's you flood your deck with seals in exchange for bloat. passport let's you seal a specific card with some heavy restrictions. stamp would let you flood your deck with seals with no bloat with any amount of retrigger

[twin lantern]

new rare coming up 🗣️🔥🔥

[fervent wolf]

Challenge: "it's only temporary..."

All jokers are debuffed after 8 rounds, banned cards: green joker, ride the bus, Ceremonial dagger, yorick, canio, lucky cat, glass joker, steel joker, obelisk, vampire, stone joker

[shy abyss]

more splash synergy would be kinda neat ig bc you basically get 3 seals every round for free with splash but that's crazy. in general it makes it trivial to average more than one seal with no bloat and can pretty easily push expected seals/round over two

[modern panther]

Oh, no, the Pillar on D or N, whatever will I do?

[fervent wolf]

Okay @twin lantern this gotta be peak?

[twin lantern]

so basically if you speedrun your way to ante 8 you keep everything

it's very unbalanced but fair concept

[fervent wolf]

It would be devious if I made "no skipping allowed"

[twin lantern]

I'd never play that challenge 😭

[fervent wolf]

Me neither 😭

[modern panther]

... It's joever

[lunar zealot]

Might be better than stm if it's all steel

Then again

nnnnnnnnnnnooo????????

Hmmmm

[modern panther]

It's all joever... (1E76VEJ7)

[proper knot]

two runs in a row with a 4 ante brainstorm...

[proper knot]

fuh

[fervent wolf]

The boring life

Cards can no longer receive enhancements, all cards start with a random seal, 7 Joker slots

Banned cards: consumables(justice, chariot, lovers, devil, tower, empress, magician, familiar, grim, incantation) jokers(lucky cat, glass joker, marble joker, vampire, midas mask, stone joker, steel joker, golden ticket, driver's license) @twin lantern sorry for ping but I constructed a new one, this is long

[proper knot]

overpowered

[vestal fern]

guys i became blue

i'm chip colored now

[modern panther]

Lucky Cat, stone, steel, glass and Golden Ticket are redundant bc those jokers can't appear w/o the respective enhancement on at least one card in your deck

[proper knot]

what if you became mult colored

[fervent wolf]

That's why they are banned anyways

[modern panther]

Just seems like a waste of time banning them if it's impossible for them to appear, anyway

[fervent wolf]

There are ppl I have met who thought that those jokers appear no matter what, so I just put it to clarify for the ppl

[chilly hull]

what we thinking

[proper knot]

yeah

pretty fun joker to bluid to

[signal frigate]

Skipping is terrible so I'd happily take this

[fervent wolf]

Did you not read the challenge

[signal frigate]

I didn't stutter

I won't skip

[plain mirage]

no handicap can make skipping worth it rahhhh

[eternal anchor]

I have a chance to finally sticker the showman son of a bitch

[signal frigate]

Jokerless still has joker specific vouchers and boss blinds appear

[signal frigate]

Question is, are you willing to chip To-do list? Or one of the legendaries?

[eternal anchor]

I'll probably get rid of Perkeo because I've been wanting to upgrade the To-Do List sticker for a while

[signal frigate]

Well you're probably gonna regret that

[fervent wolf]

No?

[glass kelp]

Sad way to die

[signal frigate]

Legendaries aren't easy to come around

[signal frigate]

Blank voucher still appear

[eternal anchor]

ante 8 boss is literally next

[fervent wolf]

But not antimatter

[signal frigate]

To-do list is common

[eternal anchor]

it has a white sticker tho

[signal frigate]

I'd probably sell that one and get one of the harder ones chipped

[eternal anchor]

it peeves me more than Perkeo's blue

[wintry ice]

i'd rather sticker a legendary than a random common

[ripe gull]

Yo that's not gold stake

[eternal anchor]

don't care I just want any sticker on it 😭

[subtle loom]

another golden stkae run

[signal frigate]

Would you rather gold chip a common joker that appears 90% of runs? Or a legendary that has a 1% chance and also a 1 out of 5 to appear?

[ripe gull]

Also hi vic

[wintry ice]

hi floor

[eternal anchor]

A common joker that you're likely going to sell by the mid-game

[pale wolf]

brutal

[signal frigate]

Well that doesn't matter since you're orange stake anyways

[ripe gull]

Its not gold stake don't bother lol

[eternal anchor]

Orange is pretty damn good

[subtle loom]

blueprint is crazy

[ripe gull]

Hi zeba++

[signal frigate]

It won't count to anything but go ahead and pick

[eternal anchor]

it will count towards not seeing Showman empty 😭

[signal frigate]

Goldchipping a legendary means the same one won't appear in the next gold stake runs

[fervent wolf]

Hi Zebra

[eternal anchor]

whatever

[ripe gull]

Its not gold stake

[pale wolf]

🦓

[signal frigate]

You can keep that in mind next stake

[signal frigate]

I am aware

[subtle loom]

????

[plain mirage]

yeah if u gold sticker a legendary it wont appear next gold stake run

unless u have all

[modest spade]

Only for the first soul too

[pale wolf]

the first soul of every gold run will be one without a gold sticker, the game actually filters seed on itself

[signal frigate]

If a Legendary has a gold chip on it, that same legendary won't appear

[fervent wolf]

I need professional opinion if this is good...

[modest spade]

If you get a second soul on gold stake it can be anyone, even ones with a gold sticker

[pale wolf]

if applicable ofc

[signal frigate]

If jokers are allowed, I don't see much of a challenge

[subtle loom]

ui didnt know thats a thing

[ripe gull]

🦓

[signal frigate]

It's to make sure you can gold chip them easier

[eternal anchor]

It isn't a thing. He is making stuff up to make me look like the stupidest person in the world for making my own decisions

[signal frigate]

You wouldn't want the next soul you get to be the same one you already goldchipped last run

[pale wolf]

its 100% a thing

[fervent wolf]

It actually is

[ripe gull]

me when im litterally wrong and its also fucking orange stake so that doesnt even work

[signal frigate]

Shit man, didn't know I committed a crime

[subtle loom]

ouch

[signal frigate]

I at first thought it was gold stake so I was trying to give sound advice

[signal frigate]

One of my C++ profile was cursed because everytime I had Yorick, that run would always lose

Yorick doesn't wanna get a gold chip

[zinc karma]

Yayy i love playing straights

[pale wolf]

yorick is broken

[signal frigate]

He is really stubborn

[signal frigate]

Good news, Trib will now not appear in the next gold stake run

[subtle loom]

oh my gos i got a winning run using straight lmao

[pale wolf]

ew everyone point at the photochad

[modest spade]

Blocking Trib from appearing again, heartwarming

[zinc karma]

Straight is goated

[pale wolf]

jk nice

[signal frigate]

It's temporary so it's valid

[subtle loom]

main provlem with it is that everytime i tried to play with it the run would alway die

[zinc karma]

[signal frigate]

Straights are tricky to play around

Don't worry

[eternal anchor]

done 😎

[subtle loom]

heres another one

[signal frigate]

I'm always confused about Orange and Red

[pale wolf]

and still not really worth it unless your jokers really line up or you dont want to play pairs

[subtle loom]

true

[signal frigate]

They BARELY have any color difference

[zinc karma]

Chips only cuz u can

[signal frigate]

Runner does give decent chips

And you don't need to ALWAYS play Straights to use it

[zinc karma]

My thing is orange with gold

[signal frigate]

That too, it's those three

[subtle loom]

truth nuke

[signal frigate]

The color difference is barely noticeable

I know I'm not colorblind but I do see it when I look closer

[zinc karma]

I can only tell when i click the joker

[subtle loom]

also this run i replaced the planet xmult with mr bone lmao

[subtle loom]

and i got the easiest final boss blind ever

[signal frigate]

Constellation is one of the best xmults in the game but you've unintentionally goldchipped one of the more annoying jokers to gold chip lmao

[zinc karma]

Stop bullying acorn

[signal frigate]

Or intentionally

[subtle loom]

thats my intention lmao

[signal frigate]

Yeah I guessed twice

[subtle loom]

im using chip anyway so im gonna just do that

[subtle loom]

never

[signal frigate]

And it's essentially a free win at that point

[zinc karma]

Bully crimson instead

Spread the hate for crimson

[signal frigate]

I think I have a bit of malice against Vessel

But that's only because I'm a Shoot the moon spammer

[zinc karma]

Vv never gets me that bad

[signal frigate]

And pairs are my favorite to use

[subtle loom]

i actually gold stake square hljoker too

i hoped it would do something

[zinc karma]

Crimson 90% of the time FUCK with my runs

[subtle loom]

but it did not

[subtle loom]

whats that

[zinc karma]

Pairs are fun, but they get kinda boring

[signal frigate]

Violet Vessel, triple score requirement

[subtle loom]

but atleast i goldstaked it

[zinc karma]

So i prefer straights

[signal frigate]

In Gold Stake, it's 1.2 goddamn million

[zinc karma]

Ig i never got vv in my gold stake runs

Might have been blessed tho

[subtle loom]

vessel fucked with me

[signal frigate]

It heavily punishes spammy builds

[subtle loom]

i ALMOST beaten it

[stark karma]

1S1ZXY92 early mime baron blueprint, bungled it on purple stake by selling the mime right before the baron
then I bungled it with a dumb play

[subtle loom]

i dont think seed will work in getting gold sticker

[zinc karma]

They dont

And baron mime only works on endless

Otherwise its not fun

🤔

[subtle loom]

its so bad

[sinful sparrow]

I'm in this weird spot with this game. Got C+ and all but I can only win around 1/20 gold attempts on the easier decks. Have about 1000 hours in and I am not getting any better. Watched dozens of hours of Dr videos. I feel like a failure for not being being able to win at least 1/5 gold attempts. Wondering if I should just give up.

[plain mirage]

well a lot goes into consistency but first of all is playing slow

[zinc karma]

Tf i hljoker

[subtle loom]

joker*

[plain mirage]

when i was learning for gold stake streak i also just played blue deck over and over idk if changing decks often is a good idea

[subtle loom]

me tio

[twin lantern]

do you understand how much money and scaling that us

[subtle loom]

my first golden stake was in blue stkae

[serene forge]

I hate DNA

[twin lantern]

1/3 chance for gold seal = 17.3/52 cards are gold seals

are you sure that's not op 😭

[zinc karma]

Try different builds every run, perfect them and acquire more knowledge on deck building

[fervent wolf]

Wait it's 1/4

[subtle loom]

its actually 13

[twin lantern]

nvm I'm stupid there's 4 seals

but still

[zinc karma]

I also got it, but cuz he was neg lol

[plain mirage]

also i know u said u watched some dr vids but some of his video where he gives the seed first before playing to let u try the seed those ones goes crazy

[twin lantern]

i frogot purple seal 😭

[twin lantern]

also, PURPLE SEALS WOULD GO CRAZY 🔥

13 purples 😭

[subtle loom]

purple seal is fool hermit temperance

[eternal anchor]

seeded runs don't earn you stickers

[fervent wolf]

"Poor purple seal is always discarded...."

[subtle loom]

judgement

[plain mirage]

who said stickers here bro

[twin lantern]

infinite money glitch

just reroll for campfire and win smh

[eternal anchor]

I think after C+ the next step would naturally be C++

[subtle loom]

high priestst

[twin lantern]

straight fax

[plain mirage]

the guy explained his main "next step" idk where youre going with this

[fervent wolf]

I realize it's op but I made it just for fun

[subtle loom]

globe voucher

[twin lantern]

well hey that's an entertaining challenge fs

but not balanced in the slightest

[fervent wolf]

Because at the end of the day, ALL of us Balatro addicts need a break from the hard, stressful runs....every once in a while.....

[subtle loom]

black deck is considered the worst deck

[zinc karma]

Thats sad ngl

Idek why blue joker is there

[acoustic kettle]

Blue joker my goat

[zinc karma]

🤔

Dubious

[subtle loom]

mine is highest lmfao

[acoustic kettle]

Blue joker is like the best chips in early

[zinc karma]

I kinda prefer ice cream

[subtle loom]

bith are good

[zinc karma]

Yeye

[acoustic kettle]

Blue / ice cream / banner is good

[zinc karma]

Nah, i hate banner

[acoustic kettle]

💔

[subtle loom]

the delayed gratification is good

[zinc karma]

Im not proud of that either

[plain mirage]

consuming the biggest planet

[zinc karma]

[lunar zealot]

bl*e archive in my balatro discord?

hell no

[shell seal]

i dont play blue archive lol

i just have the gif idk why

Now i can get into some mods maybe

[subtle loom]

is black deck universally agreed that its the worst deck?

[eternal anchor]

idk plasma is up there

[acoustic kettle]

Plasma is nowhere as bad as black

Only bad thing about it is 2x blind size

[lunar zealot]

worst

It's the hardest deck

the worst deck is nebula

boring as fuck

And people at least like black deck

[subtle loom]

1 consumeable slot?

[still frost]

Nebula isn't the worst, it's the most boring

[shell seal]

So its the worst

[still frost]

Depends on your definition of worst

Worst to me is a deck that does the least

Like Anaglyph

[lunar zealot]

nobody likes -1 consumable slot man

[manic talon]

sometimes you just get it

[pale wolf]

yeah I think nebula is the worst deck as in it should be removed from the game

[eternal anchor]

I'm not the best player by any stretch and yet I don't really find black deck so bad lol

[pale wolf]

but black deck is definitely the least consistent win rate, or maybe plasma

[still frost]

I think nebula shouldn't have a downside

And probably another upside

Like +1 pack slot

[pale wolf]

I think it should start with crystal ball as well, but keep the downside

[eternal anchor]

Nebula is just meh

[proven gulch]

o7

[manic talon]

but the extra 1.5X if you find observatory

[still frost]

True, let's nerf observatory down to 1.1X

To make up for Nebula buffs

[lunar zealot]

lilo had a good idea i feel

+1 joker slot and start with hieroglyph voucher

[still frost]

+30 joker slots -30 hands

[lunar zealot]

rather than -1 hand off bat

[eternal anchor]

you start at ante 0?

[lunar zealot]

Yus

[pale wolf]

thats for black deck?

[lunar zealot]

yuh

[shell seal]

balatro manager is it safe?

[eternal anchor]

wouldn't that mean you'd find the finisher blind at ante 7?

[lunar zealot]

no

[pale wolf]

i see, i mean that could work

[lunar zealot]

that's not how hieroglyph works

[pale wolf]

the thing you replied to was talking about nebula tho

[eternal anchor]

idk I just feel like having to play 9 antes (essentially) would be odd

[lunar zealot]

Dicriabp

[pale wolf]

black deck prob does need more spice

[lunar zealot]

Wake me up in 23 minutes

[pale wolf]

[lunar zealot]

[pale wolf]

[vocal quartz]

i might be blind i thought trance was aura and accidentally replaced my red seal with a blue seal

😔

[subtle loom]

rip

imma try to get more deck stake winned

[shell seal]

🥀

[subtle loom]

maybe checker deck

another thing is that local should add tag gotten in the stats

[subtle loom]

i alway get the investment tag at ante 1

[manic talon]

checker so easy

oh now you show up smh

[subtle loom]

lmao

[subtle loom]

25$ is so good

[stone garnet]

Got my first ever gold stake run today

[lunar zealot]

perishable too

what would fork say

[lunar zealot]

wtf obelisk with max hand 5 LMAO

holy based

[stone garnet]

I got it late

[acoustic kettle]

Round 15

[spiral cairn]

yay i beat green stake

black time

[stone garnet]

My main carry was ante 1 foil knife into baseball card and constellation

[spiral cairn]

also is ceremonial dagger really that good

does it have to destroy thr joker to work or can i jus put it far right

[stone garnet]

It’s a win con like green joker and bus

But you do need to sac jokers

[spiral cairn]

eh

[stone garnet]

But gift card and egg

Are really good with it

[spiral cairn]

pleb

i abuse constellation

x8 mult i got once

[stark karma]

vagabond just gave me three deaths in a row ToT

[stone garnet]

We love vagabond

[scarlet coral]

Vagabond supremacy

[vocal rose]

it’s a decent option

[stone garnet]

It does the job pretty well

It’s a good wincon if you play around it

[serene forge]

it's a good thing it showed up here and not earlier

[glass creek]

balalatro

[serene forge]

that way it'd lose you the game at a time when it doesn't matter

[manic talon]

Skill issue

[stark karma]

we're cooking now

mfw trying to waste money for vagabond finds you blueprint

he's the goat fr

[eternal anchor]

Typecast complete

[worldly barn]

What's your pfp?

[stark karma]

It's my OC!

hehehe

[worldly barn]

Have you ever played UFO50? The art style just reminds me of some stuff from that game a bit

It's neat 😎 👍

[stark karma]

I'm making a fan game! hahaha

well kinda

thanks tho

it was inspired by Derek Yus art

[worldly barn]

Makes sense

[serene forge]

opposite of it really

[shell seal]

i guess i just get lucky

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[shell seal]

baltro

[hollow charm]

balatro

[subtle loom]

black stake checker done

[wheat pumice]

First ever instance of a Negative tag being good

[subtle loom]

what is the best tag

[hollow charm]

brainstorm my beloved

[subtle loom]

probably investment tag

or econ tag

[wheat pumice]

The best tag is to not take a tag

Despite saying this I always fall for negative tag trap and take it anyways

[round nexus]

Finally got gold sticker on mr bones and glass joker

I also had gros michel but had to sell to beat the leaf

i wish i could've gotten the sticker on the banana

[wheat pumice]

rip

[round nexus]

regardless, im still happy i got stickers on 2 of the hardest jokers left for me

[subtle loom]

hey i got one on mr bone too

[round nexus]

the hardest ones are the food jokers, the ones you tend to sell like credit card and sixth sense, and mr bones bc his whole purpose is to die

thankfully the only foods i have left are banana and ramen. Ramen is easy if you do a no discard build. Banana will be annoying

[subtle loom]

i got ramen on my first gold stake run

[subtle loom]

some of hardest is invis and luchador

[frank raft]

my gold sticker run has not gone quite to plan

[median plover]

rip to my run where i got net negative barron and mime in the same run

couldnt get burgler for naneinf

[left juniper]

Mods are so fast. Reveal yourself so we can shower you with thanks

[astral steppe]

I'm multiplayer pilled so for me usually ante 1 rare tag or ante 1 investment tag

[subtle loom]

truth nuke

[eternal anchor]

Five-Card Draw was too easy lmao

[slate rampart]

nother day nother pie in my face

this seed has comical deck fixing

shop 1 trading card and hieroglyph

my deck was down to 19 by like ante 5

[earnest bison]

If only you had Erosion...

[zinc willow]

I have officially never gotten this lucky on unseeded

[eternal anchor]

I DREW A 4OAK

[earnest bison]

Neat, especially with only a 5-card hand.

[zinc willow]

Hey Ivan which mod do you have for the multiplier?

Im on Phone right now but I do play pc from time to time

[eternal anchor]

JokerDisplay

[zinc willow]

A big thank you

[zinc willow]

Sadly my run isn't quite as good as yours, plus its only green stake

[timid barn]

chat do i take the wrathful joker or the wrathful joker

[eternal anchor]

showman moment

[zinc willow]

Well...

[strange panther]

I had this random seed run where I got 1.4 bil by ante 4 but I forgot to grab the seed when I finished. is there any easy way to get the seed or is it just rip

This run went to ante 12 I can't remember if I got to 13 but there's way more score headroom I just made some misplays

[lunar zealot]

Die

so you can get your seed

[strange panther]

Me when reading

[north schooner]

Wrathful earns its sticker

[lunar zealot]

'earns'

[strange panther]

The run was like 2 days ago and I said I already finished i5

[lunar zealot]

Triple rental is diabolical btw

[strange panther]

And slipped my mind to grab seed on ante 8 win or when it already died

[north schooner]

Double rebate though. The banana was just heart attack insurance

[north schooner]

Honestly proccing before photo did maybe save me a bit

10 more to go
Mime
Pareidolia
Burglar
Sixth Sense
Turtle Bean
Popcorn
Wee
Idol
Hit the Road
Perkeo

[hearty glen]

Trousers or telescope

[north schooner]

Now that I mention it, goes michel was also rental, and luckily didn't stick around that long

[north schooner]

Trousers

You've already got deckfixing for 2 pair

[hearty glen]

Flush house too but nobody cares abt it

[craggy gale]

Dude I’m so POOR

How do I ever fix this econ

[hearty glen]

This is why you dont pick rental early

Unless you have good early econ

Is my guess

I havent played balatro in MONTHS

I have a shit ton of 8s

[craggy gale]

Welp I had to do it to survive

[hearty glen]

And rebate on 8

🦞

[north schooner]

credit card in the celestial pack

[craggy gale]

Surely

[hearty glen]

Absolute cinema

[golden pelican]

oph right business card

[eternal anchor]

credit card behind your computer 😑

[golden pelican]

wrong chat sry lol

[north schooner]

Honestly, if you can't score-afford to sell a joker, and you can't get out of debt, look for skips that will give you money or jokers

[north schooner]

That's maybe the only way.

find a wraith in a spectral skip pack

[manic talon]

matador good???

[plain mirage]

amazing luck on this run

[hearty glen]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

I got canio but I NEED THAT XMULT

[median kiln]

Bet it all on red

[craggy gale]

Welp too bad

Eh whatever

Not the best run anyways

[plain mirage]

the best run is winning the worst seed

[craggy gale]

Ngl if I took the rental eternal zany I could probably manage a run

It is what it is

[echo current]

massive W

only problem is I didn't get to find hack

or literally any retrigger joker

[craggy gale]

Watch as idol still misses

[echo current]

thankfully it didn't

so I died by my own terms

(not enough scoring)

[hearty glen]

Guys my banana died for cavendish

[craggy gale]

I can’t be the only one that just refuses to deal with ante 1 pillar right

[lunar zealot]

You kind of are

[craggy gale]

Damn

[lunar zealot]

if anything ante 1 hook is the worst

[echo current]

that is true

[craggy gale]

Ante 1 pillar is just way too annoying to deal with imo

[hearty glen]

God please tell me my seed run doesnt have violet vessel

[craggy gale]

Especially on gold stake

[echo current]

the humble skip tags:

or matador, even

[simple jacinth]

I should've given 8 ball the sticker just now, but I gave it to Riff Raff instead

8 ball put in some serious legwork

...for once

[echo current]

riff raff the goat

[craggy gale]

Yeahhhhh i think i gambled too close to the sun this time

It is what it is

[eternal anchor]

holy 3's batman

[hearty glen]

Funny how i was supposed to do two pair

But i got so lucky i decided to go for full house

[buoyant fog]

check this shit out

wait I posted the wrong one

ah shit I didnt screenshot it

I had brainstorm ro replace spare toursers

it was so good

I had marble joker ear'y on and got holo to 9.5x

[hearty glen]

NOOOO

VIOLET VESSEL

WHY DID I GET IT

[buoyant fog]

sadge

[hearty glen]

Its ponover guys

[sour quail]

remaining gold stickers

so many to get through

[hearty glen]

I hope violet vessel gets deleted

Ong

This boss blind has gotta be the worst one

[stark karma]

Hollup

why is he copying my flow

[violet bear]

Cause he’s cooking

[spiral cairn]

for checkered deck if you use castle will it only show hearts and spades?

or will it also show clubs

and allat

cuz clubs and diamonds technically arent in the deck

[acoustic kettle]

I think only hearts and spades

[thick haven]

Nah hes obviously copying the vagabond, never heard of a flow joker

[stark karma]

yes

it chooses from your deck like rebate

or idol

ancient works different

okay am I crazy or is Roffle awful at managing his econ and rolls way too much in the shops?

is it just like a content thing?

[acoustic kettle]

Gotta get that content pumping for roffle lite

[thick haven]

Smeared joker bypasses that thankfully

[acoustic kettle]

Rerolling = see more jokers = more "hoooly"

[stark karma]

yeah but at some point like how much holy do you need

[acoustic kettle]

As much as possible

[terse gyro]

3 new gold stickers 🙂

[acoustic kettle]

Farming roffle lite content

[granite ridge]

its based on what you have on deck so yeah only those two

[stark karma]

also it pisses me off when he keeps needless scoring instead of making money

like are you really taking a showman when you have average 50 bucks ToT

[sour quail]

W C++ progress

all of these were unstickered

[opaque wind]

bestie how did you not find two pairs wha

[sour quail]

82% done with C++ now

[atomic kiln]

getting closer to comp++

-# (Abandoned deck ma beloved )

[north schooner]

He's... playing vagabond?

[stark karma]

pancake waffles conjecture???

I'm speaking generally

[silk raptor]

could i have copied better here? (it was 2 brainstorms copying idol and a single blueprint copying sock (and there was dusk), and it's red-seal glass). there's a chad in there but it's not really doing much ofc. nat-negatives were taken in ante 23 for fun

[atomic kiln]

glass+3 idol
base+red+2 socks (n then the dusk)
should be optimal
-# unless im tired n forgetting something

[north schooner]

4 and 4, sounds pretty optimal

[silk raptor]

yeah i was figuring the glass was basically another copy of idol and red seal is another sock

[atomic kiln]

tho i guess with the chad another one idol is slightly better

[north schooner]

4 and 5, forgot the dusk

[atomic kiln]

[stark karma]

5.5 with chad sooooo

kind of unoptimal?

[silk raptor]

yeah but i don't think it would've been enough to make up e9 though (unless?)

[stark karma]

could have done 4 and 4.5

well they purely asked if they were copying optimally

which I guess they were'nt

oh it's u

ToT

it absolutely would not have made a difference

[silk raptor]

lol yeah so i guess it wanted to be one more copy of idol but yeah wouldn't have been enough

[stark karma]

might have added an e or few?

[silk raptor]

yea maybe would've been e70 at most

still was a fun run lol, i didn't find a red seal until like ante 21 or 22 i had gold seal lucky cards printing money for most of it

[atomic kiln]

idol runs r always fun tbf

[silk raptor]

until it snipes your one remaining card and it's gg

[atomic kiln]

true

[silk raptor]

i think that run started with a somewhat early bloodstone oops anyway

[atomic kiln]

oops is pretty fun when it comes to endless with bloodstone since u can do things like reserved parking more etc

[silk raptor]

it made the previously mentioned gold seal lucky cards pretty nice yeah

many four of a kinds were farmed for money that run

[atomic kiln]

$2~ per retrigger is pretty nice

[clever walrus]

should I replace smiley?

[spring bough]

If your poker hands have good base mult then yes

[atomic kiln]

yea

unless theyre on plasma maybe
depends on retriggers and stuff
(assuming theyre swapping it with bull since at a point chips dont mean much if ur going with mult)

[spring bough]

On plasma bull would be even better, no?

And after like the second card smiley will be very inconsequential

[atomic kiln]

yea true

[spring bough]

Because the trib is gonna juice up the mult so much that +5 doesn't matter

[atomic kiln]

just depends on the values of the other mult jokers generally

(and hand lvls if their low)

cant wait to be done with comp++ so i can do sillie challenge runs

[spiral cairn]

how to beat run without flush

im too addicted to playing them

and getting straights is annoying

i need that joker which gives x3 mult if hand is flush

[atomic kiln]

i normally tend to grab whatever till i get a scaling joker or 2 (while tryna keep ontop of resource gen when possible)

i mean flushes are very consistent if u play alot of flushed deck in particular

aloways love hitting a castle on flushed

[royal bobcat]

Don't play flushes

[atomic kiln]

fair

[royal bobcat]

You should see what your jokers are and choose your hand type depending on the good jokers you find, not the other way around

It's easier to play the hand your jokers want than find the jokers your hand wants

[atomic kiln]

yea

alot of the time the games just figuring out how to piece together what your given

[white anvil]

is sock worth here?

[atomic kiln]

sock with golden ticket can be very powerful

[royal bobcat]

Yes, with the absurd amount fo money you have/make astronomer is basically filler

[atomic kiln]

is also an extra 2x on your photo/4x with a glass 1st slot

[white anvil]

Do you think a full house or something would win with this build en?

en*

RN

i was playing exclusively pairs

[atomic kiln]

since u have photochad likely whatever you cna get the highest mult on and hit consistently

[royal bobcat]

Considering you have constellation I assume all hands are leveled so yes

[spiral cairn]

bro i don't get this game

[white anvil]

The hand levels are right there but youre right, they're leveled

[royal bobcat]

Start copying face cards if possible

[spiral cairn]

i got gros michel in ante 1

its ante 10

and its still not broken

but the one time i get cavendish last run it broke in one round

???

[atomic kiln]

happens

[spiral cairn]

pluh

[royal bobcat]

Idk I just looked at the joker lineup I can't listen to music, read, type and watch at 3 pics at once lmao

[white anvil]

Fair enough

[royal bobcat]

Do you have any kind of plant protection?

I'd start making a few glass cards if not

[rustic aspen]

🫡

blue stake is so interesting guys

[atomic kiln]

bluestake does take a while to get used to
is definitly when the game gets a lil less fun

[pale grotto]

Pairs pairs and more pairs T-T

[rustic aspen]

just a couple more..

[atomic kiln]

u got this

good luck on black deck if u havent beat it on gold stake

[rustic aspen]

thanks, currently only up to purple on black deck lol

[atomic kiln]

think id gen rather do jokerless than gold stake black deck

[royal bobcat]

well that's because jokerless is the best challenge in the game

out of the 20 challenges it's the one i liked the most

[atomic kiln]

real :3

did also like the one shot cards one

where it debuffed cards on play, all cards red sealed

[royal bobcat]

double or nothing?

[atomic kiln]

ya :3

[royal bobcat]

eh, just play around jokers

[rustic aspen]

jokerless was fun when I got the straights goin, decent luck with blue seals and all

[atomic kiln]

still, quite diffrent from the base game/the other ones

[rustic aspen]

golden needle my least fav tho

[royal bobcat]

golden needle is ass

[pale grotto]

0 discards 1 hand?

Or how that challenges works?

[rustic aspen]

6 discards 1 hand, discards cost money

[atomic kiln]

u have 1 hand, every discard you do costs 1 money

[pale grotto]

Oh

[atomic kiln]

meaning you have to one shot each blind, while being able to with less eco

[rustic aspen]

and for some reason the water really likes showing up in that challenge too

[pale grotto]

Ohhh

:(

[rustic aspen]

thats when you actually have to deal with 1 hand 0 discard

[pale grotto]

I only beat like two challenges the crazy Word one and the bus with the straight joker

[atomic kiln]

inflation was also quite a cool challenge since it kinda worked like giftcard aswell

[lunar zealot]

obviously not the ideal invis hit

[atomic kiln]

cmon we all love square joker..

[lunar zealot]

this kills my econ

that's -6 per round

but i wanna do it so bad

[atomic kiln]

i did the same thing cuz it was funni x3
got an ankh on rental spare trousers last game

[lunar zealot]

good shop

[atomic kiln]

great shop o:

[reef barn]

Chat
How do I green deck

I’m having more issues trying to high stake this than I had with Black or Plasma

[atomic kiln]

green deck is quite diffrent to other decks kinda blanking on how i play it
(only played it for gold stake )

[lunar zealot]

not often you get an ante 3 license online lol

[reef barn]

I’ve been slowly working to get C+ one stake at a time
I have everything on Black stake rn (except 5 of the decks which have gold completion)

[atomic kiln]

half the time im scrabling on the last few antes to get it online x3

[atomic kiln]

[lunar zealot]

GRIMBOOOOOOOOOO

[reef barn]

But trying to complete Blue Stake green deck is proving to be difficult

[spiral cairn]

should i get?

negative face

[atomic kiln]

grimbo and square is actually really good considering your on a low ante rn 7 w 7

[spiral cairn]

worth it or nah

sadly its eternal

[reef barn]

I mean
Is there a reason not to grab it

It’s negative

[atomic kiln]

i mean its free so no reason not to :p

[spiral cairn]

oh

i forgot

[atomic kiln]

besides like ankh/invis etc

[spiral cairn]

meh

[agile sapphire]

Howdy. This may sounds stupid of me but how does one get eternal on cards?

[reef barn]

Black Stake

[agile sapphire]

Ah

[atomic kiln]

you need to be on black stake yea

[reef barn]

Has a chance to make jokers be Eternal

[agile sapphire]

Im slowly working on it

[atomic kiln]

there is also perishable and rental cards later on

[agile sapphire]

Rental cards?

[reef barn]

They make you lose money

Every round

[agile sapphire]

Ohh

[atomic kiln]

costs $3 at the end of the round

BUT they cost 1$

which does cause some pretty cool synergys :p

[agile sapphire]

Huh I see

[atomic kiln]

campfire becoming amazing

some jokers u can just take and sell back for free uses, free reroll etc :p

[reef barn]

Campfire is already amazing

[lunar zealot]

but make no mistake rentals suck ass

very very restrictive

[agile sapphire]

Hm

[atomic kiln]

real

[lunar zealot]

they enable some synergies but -3 dollars per round is rough

[reef barn]

I’d much rather have rentals than -1 handsize

[agile sapphire]

Ill try do red deck first til I get whole stakes on it

[spiral cairn]

i lost

diddy needle

[atomic kiln]

kinda just tends to be, do i have the eco to deal with the rental, and is the joker worth 3 a round

[agile sapphire]

The problem is I am missing five cards that has abilities

[lunar zealot]

early rentals kill you

no exceptions

[agile sapphire]

From collection

[lunar zealot]

even something like rental blueprint

[reef barn]

Rental rocket or something probably isn’t too bad to take

[atomic kiln]

rental blueprint can work but yea your normally fighting tooth n nail to keep it going x3

rental eggs/most eco jokers also fine generally

[lunar zealot]

no

not really

rental blueprint still kills you

[atomic kiln]

yea

[lunar zealot]

high rolls aren't reliable enough to consider rental blueprint

[atomic kiln]

i mean if its early enough im normally just "if it dies it dies" most i lose is like 5-10 mins

[lunar zealot]

ugh this is killing my obelisk value

why am i not drawing pairs

they should be easy to draw

[atomic kiln]

real

[buoyant fog]

I had the perfect run

and I lost to the mouth

[lunar zealot]

anw nice my grimbo is at +20

[atomic kiln]

i hate obelisk sm ;w;
i mean its not bad, is just a lil tedious to play at times

[lunar zealot]

should be scaled enough

[buoyant fog]

becuase I went too fast

and played high card

KILL ME

[atomic kiln]

[lunar zealot]

my hologram has been sitting at a very comfortable

x1.25 mult

[atomic kiln]

carrying trust

[lunar zealot]

oh hi speak of the devil

[atomic kiln]

[lunar zealot]

It would be so funny if i rerolled right now

[buoyant fog]

It was perkeo 2 pair man

[atomic kiln]

[buoyant fog]

with brainstorm too

why am I like this

[atomic kiln]

i have unironically done thatmore times than i wana admit with vouchers etc ;w;

tabbing out then forgetting when i tab back in n starting the next blind

[lunar zealot]

oh nooo i misclicked oh noooo

[buoyant fog]

I WAS ALREADY LEVL 33 ON 2 PAIR BROTHERRR

[agile sapphire]

here what i am missing from it and the five glass deck cards as well

[atomic kiln]

[lunar zealot]

unironically?

given my dogshit luck constell might be better than holo here

let's see

[atomic kiln]

possibly

[lunar zealot]

hmm i got cryptid this shop thankfully

[kindred cedar]

Guys i just found a seed with 3 "souls" and already skipped the end screen, is there a way to still get the seed?

[lunar zealot]

die

[kindred cedar]

Oh yeah makes sense

[atomic kiln]

[lunar zealot]

i need to turboscale holo these next 2 antes or i die to vv

[kindred cedar]

I just took hanged man instead of soul

Im smort

[atomic kiln]

was a chicot trust

[lunar zealot]

how am i even losing

i have 3 xmult jokers

thankfully the boss blind is acorn so i win

[atomic kiln]

[lunar zealot]

but vv could definitely kill this run

somehow

lmfao

[atomic kiln]

[lunar zealot]

just saw vagabond

maybe i should take it
