[spring dragon]

Okay what would you like me to call you then smartass?

[spring dragon]

NOOOOO

[shadow sundial]

she her ..?

this guy...

woke up grandpa

[spring dragon]

But then apparently I'll do that wrong

I want specifics

[glass creek]

If you play high card/pair (or maybe even three of a kind) then the -1 handsize shouldn't matter much and you can use the extra discards for stuff like rebate

[cursive lion]

thank you mr bones 🙏

[spring dragon]

Mr bones saves so much

[fervent wolf]

Joker idea: reversability: rare, $10

Hands can be used as discards, discards can be used as hands, -1 hand size, -1 discard

[cursive lion]

green green

[spring dragon]

This don't even do anything positive for you 😭

[fervent wolf]

It does

[cursive lion]

yep, another green joker build in the works

[shadow sundial]

well this kinda doesnt work because like,, hands are basically discards anyways

[spring dragon]

Precisely

[fervent wolf]

You can use discards to scale stuff like rtb and green joker

[spring dragon]

Less money

[shadow sundial]

okay but grimbo still faults to playing hands then

and also rtb is purely skill regardless

[cursive lion]

mystic or cursed judgement pull?

[fervent wolf]

Like it should cost less?

[lunar zealot]

Hey 5 dollars

[spring dragon]

No like you lose money

[shadow sundial]

no you get less mkney

[cursive lion]

negative tag.

yay!

food joker.

wtf...

[spring dragon]

Less hands, less extra hands at end of round, less dollars, less happy

[fervent wolf]

You can also turn excess hands to discards for stuff like trading card, mail, or faceless

[jagged torrent]

I hate geen jonkler

[shadow sundial]

i love grimbo

[lunar zealot]

Negative tag moment

[shadow sundial]

goated scaler

[spring dragon]

Geen 🔥🔥

[lunar zealot]

[cursive lion]

it doesnt hurt getting another joker i can be better then nothing well food joker

[cursive lion]

[jagged torrent]

This is why you never skip on gold stake

[thick haven]

[manic talon]

[spring dragon]

Except for that 25 dollas

[shadow sundial]

R.I.P.

[stiff fjord]

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[jagged torrent]

I pray for your soul

[stiff fjord]

[jagged torrent]

And your sanity

[spring dragon]

I think he hates bloodstone

[shadow sundial]

i haye bloodstone

[modest spade]

I hate Bloodstone

[spring dragon]

I hate Archies

[shadow sundial]

bro is misgendering EVERYONE

[modest spade]

mods ban this USER for transphobia

[shadow sundial]

ban him ASAP!

[jagged torrent]

Gender is a scam by toilet companies to sell more toilets

[spring dragon]

It's a slur for face cards

[serene forge]

i hate archies and demo dashes

[shadow sundial]

true

[spring dragon]

Type shit

[modest spade]

You might be cooking then

[spring dragon]

I didn't make it someone else did

I don't remember who tho

[serene forge]

who is he

[spring dragon]

I don't take any credit other than the idea to make a slur for face cards

[cursive lion]

i think you guys are jinxing it i did a holo tag skip

[spring dragon]

You

[serene forge]

I don't understand

[cursive lion]

tbf amelia your pronouns are any

[serene forge]

[modest spade]

STOP SKIPPING FOR JOKER TAGS RAHHHHHH

[lunar zealot]

Okay so my negative tarots look different on mobile

[serene forge]

i forgor

[spring dragon]

That shit looks like a blue icebreaker

[cursive lion]

[modest spade]

Relatable

[cursive lion]

[serene forge]

[floral mural]

radioactive blue is my favourite tarot

[cursive lion]

its just another lost

[spring dragon]

Best ankh in the history of ankhs

[modest spade]

Most annoying Redditor you know: ''hahahahahaha guys guys this should let you play flushes and straights with 3 cards guys''

Sorry I'm just beefing with people I made up in my head

[shadow sundial]

ankh or bust

[spring dragon]

I'm sleepy so I'm going to bed gn

[modest spade]

Goodnight

[jagged torrent]

Peter copying hermit? :]

[jagged torrent]

Good night mate <4

[serene forge]

guys get this, there should be a joker that gives 1x mult when you play something that has a high card

[modest spade]

You're funny

Do you want to be my friend

[jagged torrent]

I want to be your friend [I'm not very funny tho]

blue stake rework idea: -2 discards

[modest spade]

🦭

[warped wave]

I may finally have a run'

[jagged torrent]

Mods ban this guy, and increase his rent by 60%

[serene forge]

punished for using bloodstone

[cursive lion]

true...

[warped wave]

GUYS

[tacit stream]

Blue Stake Rework idea: -1 Hand, +1 Discard

[warped wave]

I THINK I MAY FINALLY BE ABLE TO WIN

[umbral salmon]

This plus hieroglyph and troubadour 🤑

And black deck

[acoustic kettle]

-1 hand
-1 handsize
-1 discard
-1 joker slot
-1 consumable slot

[cursive lion]

sure we can make this double holo tag work

[glass creek]

Synergy

[manic talon]

FINALLY AN XMULT MY GOD

this run started so good but didnt find any Xmult for straight 8 antes

[warped wave]

...

\guys

help

This is my best run ever

I dont wanna lose

[manic talon]

get some glass cards on your non face cards just in case you meet the plant

[warped wave]

I even got immolate for deck fixing

[manic talon]

clean 1 hundo (and 10)

[granite ridge]

nice

wait what thats a lot of 2pairs/full house damn

[manic talon]

1 full house, and 1 flush that has a 2 pair in it, all the rest are actual 2 pairs

[granite ridge]

how did you prevent winning blinds early

[manic talon]

i dont

[granite ridge]

unless there's only like 2 scaling per round

[manic talon]

i just never got any xmult until ante 8

[granite ridge]

damn

[warped wave]

My only worry is I get spade cards debuffed

[valid abyss]

hey guys so i mightve

overshot just a tad

insane fucking shops i cant lie though

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SEED

[warped wave]

what should I sell for verdant?

[floral mural]

smiley i guess

or wrathful

[warped wave]

ok

[floral mural]

both do about as much nothing for scoring

chrck if one has a gold sticker i guess

[left juniper]

Not that it matters since photochad + canio are doing most of the work but your jokers are in the wrong order technically 👀

[thick haven]

is invis buyable here

[warped wave]

FINALLY

I WIN

[left juniper]

Congrats!

[lunar zealot]

Is this enough cryptids

level 10 high card

[warped wave]

you can never have to many

also, I feel like I was doing something wrong in my gold stake runs lol

[weak coyote]

guys

[weak coyote]

is it worth getting the blueprint polychrome rental debuffed after 5 rounds😭

[left juniper]

Probably 🤔 You need 45 Red Seal Steel in hand with Baron, Mime and 4 copy jokers right. So this would give you up to 90 just from cryptid.... someone crunch the numbers

You're missing 2 copy jokers but you'll have double the amount of cards in hand 🤷

[nova junco]

Idol only picks cards you have right?

[left juniper]

Yes

[nova junco]

What if you have 0 cards or all stone?

[left juniper]

Yeah maybe. Depends on the round/ante

[left juniper]

Ace of Spades

[nova junco]

Damn lmao

[lunar zealot]

Yeah i can pop it

[weak coyote]

ante 1 no other jokers😭

[left juniper]

I wouldn't because rental might just kill you lol

[weak coyote]

yeah lmao i wouldn't get good econ😭

plus it'd get debuffed at 5 rounds

and i have no other cards

[left juniper]

For it to be worth you'd have to hit an econ joker you can copy in the next shop and be able to afford it

[granite ridge]

on ante 11 damn

perkeo is just that good huh

[weak coyote]

i wouldnt get it either way

[lunar zealot]

Rip it

[left juniper]

Not that it matters since you did the math but wouldn't both copies on Baron be better? 🤔

[granite ridge]

4x3 and 3x4 wouldnt matter i think

i guess its just better to copy mult in general anyway

[lunar zealot]

Nice

[vestal fern]

who is neinf and why are we saying nah to them

what did they do

[valid abyss]

chat it'd just be too funny

the mimes are getting to be too much

[umbral salmon]

This will be balatro in 2014

[wise dragon]

I like your balatro skin

[valid abyss]

#1412350576762814501 if you like it that much

[wise dragon]

@wise dragon mentioning myself so I can check it later easily

[valid abyss]

this run i have is the best run ive had in my entire life

[wise dragon]

Wait, can you mod it into monile?

[valid abyss]

dont think so

unfortunately

[wise dragon]

Sadge

[valid abyss]

every voucher i could ask for

every tarot i could ask for

every jonkler

my life will be COMPLETE shit from here on out because i pured all my luck into this run

[wise dragon]

Red seals?

[rugged warren]

first naninf after completely throwing the other day

[umbral salmon]

Congrats

[wise dragon]

Damn

[jagged torrent]

GIVE ME YOUR SEED please

[valid abyss]

will do right after i lose

[jagged torrent]

Ty :]

[valid abyss]

oh wait i already won

here it is TIVDXJDG

[jagged torrent]

Can't wait to play with your seed

[valid abyss]

i like screenshotting all my win and lose screens and post it in a channel in my private server

my entire balatro biography is in there

[valid abyss]

oh and btw i am total shit at this game so like theres no particular plays you need to know to be able to play this correctly

[wise dragon]

Have you c++ the game?

[valid abyss]

nop

[wise dragon]

Damn, that's actually pretty impressive

I'll try naneinf after c++

[jagged torrent]

ant 3 nat neg loyalty card btw

[valid abyss]

like i know how to play the game and i would say im decent but this is by far the luckiest run i have ever had

[wise dragon]

If campfucker ever shows up again in my runs

[jagged torrent]

Dw I suck at the game too lol

[valid abyss]

if dnafucker ever shows up again in this run

its showed up like 3 times already

[jagged torrent]

I only have half the jonklers with the gold sticker

Lol

[umbral salmon]

Why didn't you take DNA?

[valid abyss]

i had a good reason that i dont remember

which is good reason enough for me

ITS TIME TO PIVOT GUYS

[jagged torrent]

😭

[valid abyss]

with 39 kings in my deck and at ante 15

its just the better play

[olive portal]

afterall they're all two strengths away

just 78 strengths and you can have a perfectly doable wee pivot

[umbral salmon]

Just get a lil bit of xchips and you'll be going naneinf in no time

[valid abyss]

i swear to you i was going to hit the new run button on ante 2 for this run

then i got a straight flush and i had to go on

[sleek agate]

what do i take chat

[uncut slate]

i take the drunkard here probs but very reluctantly

depends on boss blind i guess

but i have died enough times from pointless ante 1 greed to take the +mult i get

[valid abyss]

i dont think an eternal drunk man is worth it

[uncut slate]

yeah its a tough call

[sleek agate]

drunkard is extremely good

[valid abyss]

think about wee joker and the effects of an alcoholic in his childhood

[sleek agate]

even if eternal

[valid abyss]

you cant do that to wee

[sleek agate]

i can also one shot the next 2 rounds

[uncut slate]

yeah exactly

[sleek agate]

which is money

[uncut slate]

its a good enough eternal but chad is chad

and the monkey brain wants chad

[sleek agate]

my monkey brain is telling me drunkard

shiny

[uncut slate]

true

[valid abyss]

ITS TIME TO PIVOT GUYS

[uncut slate]

i mean drunkard is definitely the safer pick

whats up with the contrast on your jimbo

[sleek agate]

i think I'll go with drunkard. it's a good pick

[valid abyss]

#1412350576762814501

cool pack

[uncut slate]

+1 discard can be really valuable too

sometimes it doesn't matter at all but its clutch when it matters

[valid abyss]

the almighty eternal but not joker-slot-taking-up wasteful voucher

colon symbol

[uncut slate]

im ngl it just looks like i screwed with the contrast on my monitor or something

[sleek agate]

nahhhhhh not green joker 😭 😭 😭

[uncut slate]

not sure i get it

[olive portal]

i use it

you get used to it

[uncut slate]

i think i just don't see the vision

[olive portal]

adds more color to balatro

[uncut slate]

fair enough

[valid abyss]

i agree honestly

it just makes it less dull

no offense to thunkatron

art is amazing but the contrast and shadows give it more life

[uncut slate]

i would probably pass on this one but i would also probably die in ante 3 as ar esult

[sleek agate]

EASY

[uncut slate]

lol

ok u win now

[sleek agate]

drunkard definitely the good choice

[foggy sun]

just one more queen and then Im fully deck fixed

[valid abyss]

good luck finding it

im sure itll be instantaneous

[uncut slate]

yeah i think my winrate got a lot better when i started accepting the early eternals for +mult

sometimes it's just good enough

[foggy sun]

yeah doesnt help that my hand size is 4

(im using a dna to compensate for lost handsize to take more ecto's

[uncut slate]

what are you even doing 😭

ohhh ok

[foggy sun]

we do a little seeded content once in a while ok.

[uncut slate]

endless is so goofy

[valid abyss]

im overdosing on fire emojis

im just too fire

[foggy sun]

fr, it takes me 5 minutes to score one hand ):

pretty solid seeded run thus far (ignore the planets)

[valid abyss]

holy shit psychic actually almost killed my run

[uncut slate]

using dna for hand size to play flush 5 is crazy work

[valid abyss]

dna needs 1 card

psychic still kills that

undnaable

[foggy sun]

yeah u just dont know how peak it is

(one slip up and its over)

[valid abyss]

glad i formed a coherent and completely real word to emphasize my point

[foggy sun]

yeah boss rerolls is so good

[valid abyss]

too bad i dont have director's cut

[foggy sun]

cause like... if I somehow managed to get one more handsize, i can ecto again for more blue print

[valid abyss]

which i would REALLY enjoy right now

[earnest bison]

Ravioli ravioli give you the A39ioli

[uncut slate]

39 antes is so much balatro

[valid abyss]

Oh No the blind is So Very Large

[earnest bison]

If he don't get A39,

[foggy sun]

yeah uhh very scary

[valid abyss]

i cant imagine how you'll possibly get through

better to just start a new run

not worth it

my god this made me remember

[foggy sun]

guys I forgot to copy dna ):

holy skill issue

[valid abyss]

i had a dream where you could use tarot cards on playing cards by viewing the deck

[valid abyss]

like you didnt have to draw them

you just got the tarot and opened the deck and used it there

[foggy sun]

bro what is this image

[earnest bison]

I dunno.

[valid abyss]

can i get one

[earnest bison]

Of what?

[valid abyss]

tamale

hes clearly selling it

for $15 no less

[earnest bison]

I mean, I guess? You'll probably end up in eternal torment for interacting with an EXE, though... but you can be Tails, so it all works out.

[foggy sun]

guys (i reset the timeline to continue the run) should I sell dna to get +1 hand size? I wont have to deal with that nonsense anymore and still be able to play flush 5

I have way over 200 cards so running out of glass isnt a concern of mine

[valid abyss]

as previously implied we're gonna watch cocomelon

[earnest bison]

But you can be Tails, though, so it all works out.

[valid abyss]

i love level 55 high card

the planet cards are doing absolutely nothing to my score right now but theyre funny so im still getting them

oh holy fuck i love serpent

[earnest bison]

I love snakes too.

(Serperior is better than Samurott, fight me.)

[valid abyss]

e82

im never getting higher than that

unless theres a weed joker or something

[long oxide]

Lol

Nat negative burg

[valid abyss]

sell the madness and use judgement

trust me youll get a poly madness

with a red seal

obelisk lovers are gonna tell me to sell every joker and get an obelisk to save the run

[uncut slate]

and they'll be right

obby duo

pivot to pairs

you win

[valid abyss]

true

[median summit]

This right?

From the App Store

[tranquil cargo]

I wonder how old that tip is, considering old boss blinds really punished certain hand types

[earnest bison]

It feels AI-generated.

[long oxide]

Would there be a reason I can't ecto here

[tranquil cargo]

several bosses (manacle, serpent, arm, and a few others I forgot) explicitly said "[certain hand type] is not allowed"

[uncut slate]

how so

[earnest bison]

All your Jokers have Editions.

[long oxide]

Frick

[tranquil cargo]

that was their old effect

way way back

[uncut slate]

oh that's crazy

was this in demo

or launch?

[tranquil cargo]

idk

but the information must have been made public somehow since cryptid has them for the nostalgic boss blinds

[mighty topaz]

Wtf does chicot do again?

[tranquil cargo]

negate all boss blinds

[mighty topaz]

Aight thanks

May many blessings fall upon ye. May you have a fruitful future for shedding knowledge and sharing kindness.

[uncut slate]

also +10 for temperance

secret legendary passive

[wicked shore]

Worth taking 2nd ecto, no observatory,

?

[valid abyss]

farewell run

[earnest bison]

No Ante 39?

[valid abyss]

NOOO

[lunar gate]

man
plasma deck kinda sucks

[valid abyss]

get out of here

i am a plasma deck fan

possibly #37 plasma deck fan of all time

[simple jacinth]

I did a stupid, chat

double walkie/double agate with blue and I reroll out of flint straight into the club

I honestly doubt I'd have had trouble with the flint anyway but it's stinky

[lunar gate]

i know

[valid abyss]

both are terrible

[lunar zealot]

Haha

[simple jacinth]

still wasn't gonna unlock seeing double that run

I had tarotmancer for a while but it never gave me the moon so as second invisible it is

here's a thing, can invisible copy invisible?

I assume yes

[lunar gate]

drop a tip man

[lunar gate]

yeah

i did it with ankh

[valid abyss]

tip: use an umbrella if its raining outside

[foggy sun]

first naneinf I've personally gotten.

[mortal nimbus]

Invis can copy invis, but the copy will have its progress reset

[floral mural]

its to prevent infinite money

[lunar gate]

on plasma deck...
but still a great tip thx

[valid abyss]

me when i Observe my Tory

[foggy sun]

yeah fr tho'

[mortal nimbus]

I forget if it was during a beta or the release patch, but Invis used to save the progress (allowing for infinite money if you had just 2 invis')

[lunar zealot]

Drop seed

[foggy sun]

isnt this the part of the game when I crash it

[foggy sun]

its the popular neg perkeo neg trib ante 2

[lunar zealot]

only specifically when you close and reopen balatro

otherwise you're good to get to ante 39

[foggy sun]

ahh I see

well... gonna hit naneinf every hand now ig

[ruby trail]

the first shop of the run

[wind jolt]

Plante 2 boss moment

[ruby trail]

?

[lunar gate]

the usual suspects

[alpine hollow]

Plant will hard counter your current setup

[ruby trail]

ok

[simple jacinth]

holy sharpshoot

[alpine hollow]

wow

[lunar gate]

only if it's enoughly unlucky

[uncut slate]

nah just get wet

i never umbrella

[alpine hollow]

Umbrellas in sunny weather is really underrated

[shadow mortar]

Hi is there a website to know the seed based on the shops?

[alpine hollow]

You will see the seed when you die or beat ante 8

[shadow mortar]

B4 that?

[alpine hollow]

I dont think so

[foggy sun]

pretty good run for me. dont care its seeded

[shadow mortar]

Ah kk

[alpine hollow]

congrats!

Ill never get to ante39 myself, but its always cool seeing others do it

[foggy sun]

yeah, cant wait for the day I can do it unseeded tho

that will truly be exciting

[earnest bison]

Close enough, welcome back Dokkan Airplane Mode.

[simple jacinth]

oooooh it's gonna be big

it was big

so that's luchador, clever, and to the moon done

it was almost troubadoub instead of luchador

[valid abyss]

get ready to find the plant ante 2

[stiff fjord]

"small" blind

[north schooner]

Worst opening hand ever?

oh look the worst scaling joker and worst econ joker, in the same shop

[minor portal]

abstract might want to hear about this

[heavy bone]

what is the optimal jonkler placement, barely beat last ante and had to sell a brainstorm for DNA bc i never get hand size vouchers

[north schooner]

abstract doesn't really count as scaling, nor does bootstraps

[minor portal]

but it scales

[manic talon]

it technically scales

[north schooner]

Yeah, but if you're talking about a scalar, it usually means unbounded

[manic talon]

boots is unbounded

[north schooner]

yeah but boots is shit

[manic talon]

i mean, yea, but it is unbounded

technically abstract is also unbounded

[north schooner]

bean bug doesn't count

[north schooner]

This is your fault

[minor portal]

For the record, I didn't do anything.

[north schooner]

what is this seed??

[quartz ember]

this was the correct joker placement

[north schooner]

Shortest-lived egg ever

[simple jacinth]

two jokers left on page 1 to gold sticker...

...and once again zany is one of them

I think zany could use a buff

[north schooner]

Is a5 too late for a bus?

[ruby trail]

whats yalls joker stats looking like

[lunar zealot]

Well duh

[lunar zealot]

esp if you have nova

[median summit]

To be fair, the ox is still that punishing

[north schooner]

I guess. I don't wanna die to eye

[heavy bone]

Yea i just sent it before someone responded and prayed. The runs dead though so now im just trying to beat my high score do you think this will beat it? (Least obv c++ flex)

[north schooner]

Is a6 too late for HRT?

[quartz ember]

ye that'll do 😄

[vocal rose]

if you’ve deck fixed before maybe

[north schooner]

nope

[heavy bone]

lets see then 😈

[north schooner]

question is does it help me out more than Mr bones

[north schooner]

I do have a bonus discard at least

[terse gyro]

2/5 legendary gold stickers🙂

[rose tendon]

pls wish me luck

[kindred cedar]

Genuien question, is there a way to beat gold stake without praying for good jokers? The past idk how many rounds ive been losing over and over again because i only got shit for jokers and then got outscaled too hard

Yes i did go for pairs and didnt waste my discards for no reason

[rose tendon]

no

unless youre really good

i had to get really lucky to gold stake all decks

which deck are u struggling with?

[kindred cedar]

Ive been trying to gold stake anaglyph deck for a while now

[north schooner]

What are you using your skips for?

[kindred cedar]

I die on like ante 3

Usually to get money tho

[rose tendon]

can be done, use it on negatives or rares

save money in ante 1 and 2, dont open too much

[kindred cedar]

Nah bro

Its not worth

[kindred cedar]

I didnt open anything on ante 1 and 2

Left with 2 jokers and 20 bucks

[north schooner]

Money is ok. Orbital is good too if it hits a reasonable hand

[reef barn]

Should use it to open 5 arcana packs 🔥

[rose tendon]

this is how i beat it

[kindred cedar]

I mean i havent even seen a negative in 5 rounds

[kindred cedar]

Fr fr

[reef barn]

You may skull emoji me but that doesn’t even sound too bad tbh

[kindred cedar]

Oh wow, ante 1 eternal and rental idol

[reef barn]

Horrible idea

[kindred cedar]

Thank you balatro

[kindred cedar]

Idk what youre talking about, its clearly the best play

[reef barn]

Obviously

[abstract rivet]

Tbh are most rentals even takeable ante 1 since they ruin your econ so bad

[reef barn]

No

Unless it’s like
An Econ joker

[north schooner]

I had shit for jokers and didn't get any scaling mult (let alone non-perishable mult) until ante 4. Run is turning maybe winnable?
#🕹・game-discussion message

[reef barn]

Then maybe

[abstract rivet]

I feel like the first 3 antes should have stickerless jokers initially

After that then stickers should show up

[reef barn]

A perishable is fine to take early tbh

[abstract rivet]

Well eternal is weird since you may have to lock in a flat mult

[north schooner]

nah, that'd take all the fun out of it

[abstract rivet]

And yeah persihables can work early

[kindred cedar]

Not really, i forgot the first jokers name but thats quite decent same goes for the fourth one

[abstract rivet]

But i hate rentals early

Its actually rng you can't really play around that much

[reef barn]

Unless it’s Econ a rental is just unpickable early

[kindred cedar]

Eternal rental oops all 6s on round 3

This game loves me

[reef barn]

I might consider an early rental burnt

I love burnt

[abstract rivet]

Still stings though when all you level up are pairs and can't accumalate interest to get jokers that actually work with pairs

Early game is get to 20-25 money asap

[mild hazel]

The fact i'm gonna buy the memory card is wild

But 4 golden token in one run, when I miss so less is just insane !

[abstract rivet]

How ur base mult going

[north schooner]

perishable arrowhead is not terrible, sure, but it's expensive. swash without any support is also bad, so I had to buy them together and couldn't afford much for many antes. Sometime you have to compromise.

[mild hazel]

165 x 17

[abstract rivet]

Oh wait stake sticker reasons

[mild hazel]

But i already can do some billion scoring so the banana is not necessary to win

and the final boss is the belt

[abstract rivet]

I mean blueprint is objectively the better pick but I know you are optimizing for stickers

Plus like

[mild hazel]

Yeah that's it, otherwise the game could be incredible

[abstract rivet]

You are probably gonna have a flash card run anyways eventually

[earnest bison]

That's Brainstorm, you dummy.

[north schooner]

I had to keep buying perishables because that's all the shops had, and mine kept expiring. 🤷

[abstract rivet]

Yes i know

[kindred cedar]

Bro, i just pulled another oops all 6s but this time its perishable, there is nothin to compromise

[mild hazel]

I like the fact only 2 joker win my run, and 1 is basically not even in my golden stickers, so lucky me ngl

[north schooner]

fair fair

[reef barn]

What if there was a spectral that removed stickers

[abstract rivet]

Only useable on high antes

[reef barn]

Ah yeah

True

[abstract rivet]

If there were jokers that interacted with stickers

[north schooner]

I guess just go straights and Saturn then

[abstract rivet]

Maybe

[kindred cedar]

Finally a useable econ joker, it only took 6 rounds

[mild hazel]

Wraith and ankh in spectral booster anyway

[kindred cedar]

Planing on doing so xd

[abstract rivet]

But thunk would need to add new bad stickers to the game and thats not really that possible except maybe blue stake change of -1 discard to some kind of sticker instead

[mild hazel]

Hello to the new crew

[kindred cedar]

(Rounds ment in i died 6 times and havent gotten shit prior to that)

[mild hazel]

Also there is a observatory voucher so my score can go really easily ultra high

[abstract rivet]

But yeah honestly, flash card is gonna be a carry in a run so its probably not necessary to cram it in, if you can find another rare/uncommon instead yeah

Like a showman or invisible

[north schooner]

Is it really always immolate? I kinda need that jack

[mild hazel]

I'll look for, but I take it if I don't find other

[abstract rivet]

Its just 1 jack, it helps you dig for your other jacks

[mild hazel]

But yeah, thanks for the reminder

[mild hazel]

MOHHHH

So cute

[north schooner]

nah flash card is trash, needs carrying itself

[earnest bison]

I like the Blueprint/Brainstorm kitties.

[abstract rivet]

Its like one of the best scaling +mult jokers

[mild hazel]

Like this motha f#'!%a ?

XD

[abstract rivet]

It goes good with gold cards, and it goes insane with egg/gift card for temperance value

[mild hazel]

Ngl I wanna take him, he just make me lose a lot of game

[abstract rivet]

You can reroll so much with 50 money

[north schooner]

It's gonna nuke all the black cards and leave the red ones, I just know it

[abstract rivet]

And if you find more fools+temperance, you can reroll like 10 times in a shop

Its 20 dollar as well

Can reroll a few times to maybe find a black suit changer or death

[mild hazel]

I'm also sure memor card would done a good run by one day, jsut i never found her unfortunately, even if it's one of my favorite jocker :/

[north schooner]

It's the worst.

It's too expensive early game and by the time you can afford to scale it, it's unnecessary because you probably already have a scaler going.

[earnest bison]

Especially if you get Reroll Surplus/Glut. Insert connection between that feeling and that one image of Rumi eating kimbap, because I need an excuse to post that image.

[abstract rivet]

Ok leveler uh how do you feel about red card

[mild hazel]

Lol it's a tragedy scene, even titanic is less sad thhan this

litteraly my last reroll before the boss

[abstract rivet]

Because flash card somewhat occupies a similar niche, but you can actually benefit from rerolls as well

[north schooner]

uh

[mild hazel]

Oh it's "flash card " ? Sorry in french it's memory card translated by, strange :/

[north schooner]

best scaler in the game

[north schooner]

flash card deserves to drown 😂

[abstract rivet]

Flash card goes pretty nice with econ, plus getting hermits in the shop feeds itself

Getting it to like 14-16 mult is fine enough for early game, thats basically a mystic summit/abstract

[north schooner]

Crazy expensive

[earnest bison]

Reroll Surplus/Reroll Glut with Flash Card might get you moving like 2003 Grievous. (Probably not, but I want an excuse to post this, because it's cool.)

[abstract rivet]

Flash card also combos pretty okay with the reroll clown

[earnest bison]

Chaos the Clown.

[mild hazel]

Struggle 2 hours for finally get these run was worth it, i'm just a bit sad to not have try to optimise it but well, i don't really like playing for infinite so that's okay to me.

[abstract rivet]

A free reroll is pretty decent and its common enough

[north schooner]

Let's say, best case? You spend $35 for +14 mult. With Red Card, that would have gotten you +24.

[mild hazel]

Become a uuseless joker when you have doubl green voucher tho

[abstract rivet]

And yeah flash card has the advantage over red card where you can actually scale it up immediatly if you pick it up later in a run at like ante 4/5 if you stockpiled a decent amount of money

[mild hazel]

That chould be balanced imo

[mild hazel]

I just said sorry for miss naming bro

[earnest bison]

I wasn't insulting you.

[abstract rivet]

And as i mentioned before, gift card goes insane with flash card

[mild hazel]

Ah allright my bad then

Sorry.

[abstract rivet]

I presume you are playing pairs if u are going a flat mult build

[mild hazel]

Gift card is one of the best economy joker imo, underrrated as hell

[earnest bison]

Hey, apologizing's my thing! I'm the Canadian here!

[north schooner]

If you pick up flash card early, and you can only afford $5 per shop, it's not going to scale fast enough to keep up with boss blinds. Red card can solo for quite some time.

[abstract rivet]

At the very least you can still actually build your deck with flash, since red requires not doing that

Hermits help

Plus it isn't like you reroll only for flash

[mild hazel]

In very early but flash card outscale really quickly the red card if you're economy is not thrash

[abstract rivet]

You were going to reroll anyways to search for stuff

So you get rewarded on top of something you should already be doing when searching for tarots/jokers

[north schooner]

Maybe mid game? Certainly not rerolling in early antes

[abstract rivet]

At like ante 3 is considered mid game?

[north schooner]

I'd consider it early still

[abstract rivet]

And well if you have rebate or other econ that helps if being able to reach interest cap faster and lets you reroll easier

also flash card has the advantage for being uncommon for the sake of basedball card

[north schooner]

All the arguments I've heard for flash card involve having other specific jokers to actually make it work

[manic talon]

its because flash card is not good

[abstract rivet]

I get flash card to like 80-100 mult easy

Red card gets to like 60-80 by the end

[north schooner]

Ok? By then you should have found xMult, and the difference is negligible

[craggy gale]

I think this is a free win if I don’t get plant lmao

[earnest bison]

Always pack a Chicot, just in case.

Also, what's the seed?

[north schooner]

Bus, Grimbo, red card, even supernova all out scale flash card and one of them usually shows up in the shop early enough to make the run. Flash card can't carry an early run, so I usually avoid it early, and by a4 when I've got enough econ to support it, I've almost always got something else going.

[craggy gale]

Still playing, I don’t know if I can check the seed as of now

[round nexus]

HUUUGE. 4 gold stickers, including banana and sixth senth

x15 on canio btw

[manic talon]

gros michel can still die

[round nexus]

no it cant lol, im literally on the boss blind

[abstract rivet]

Oh it can

It can die right before the round finishes

[round nexus]

are you serious

[abstract rivet]

And no sticker for you

[earnest bison]

It's good for some people, but not good for others. Let's end the argument there.

[abstract rivet]

It happened to me

[round nexus]

omg dont scare me like that

[earnest bison]

He's for real, brochacho.

[manic talon]

its a 1 in 6 what are the chances:)

[abstract rivet]

I mean its 5/6 for it to not happen

[median kiln]

Crazy start

[north schooner]

It's objectively bad, but some people like it, which is fine.

[abstract rivet]

Plus banana is a common u will find it again later

[round nexus]

recently my banana has been dying on the first round

SAFE

[north schooner]

expired banana is the way

[abstract rivet]

U ever have cavendish die on you?

I had it die like 2 times ever

[round nexus]

no

[north schooner]

yeah, in a blue moon

[round nexus]

its beautiful

[manic talon]

nice

[round nexus]

ramen is my only food joker left

[manic talon]

i havent got cavendish died on me in 800 hours

how are yall getting cav deaths

[north schooner]

I finally got popcorn out of the way

[abstract rivet]

Banana always early game

[median kiln]

Nan inf potential?

[round nexus]

its funny ramen is arguably the easiest food joker to gold sticker, but its the only i havent done yet

[north schooner]

Bean is gonna be the worst

[abstract rivet]

Ehh not really

Skip blinds

In fact sometimes if i am at like ante 6 or 7 i just full skip to the bosss to preserve bean to ante 8

[north schooner]

I just almost never see it

[abstract rivet]

Hand size is great with a bunch of steel or really want to get all the glass you have in the deck in one hand

[round nexus]

and if you're playing big hands like straights, it basically guarantees it

[north schooner]

Well, it killed a jack, but only left the one red king, so... I guess?

[median kiln]

9VBUZN7H

I got greedy ():

[abstract rivet]

Plus bean is great going into technically 3 of the finisher bosses. Crimson heart, you already know the deal with the permanent hand size (if it lands on it), leaf you just use all the hand size anyways before selling, vessel if you been relying on steel

[restive plover]

7

[median kiln]

A judgement just gave a blueprint

[median kiln]

Discard

To get hit the jack

[abstract rivet]

If you discard 1 7 you will have 6 7s in your hand

[north schooner]

Do I send spaceman to reentry?

He's been doing ok, but...

[dapper orchid]

you probably have enough levels that burnt doesnt add much more score

[manic talon]

space man can get more than one level per round

[dapper orchid]

much better leave the slot available for stickering

[manic talon]

clearly the better joker

[north schooner]

Never enough levels in pair

[abstract rivet]

Plus burnts an eternal

[restive plover]

please god no no no no

[abstract rivet]

1 less space for a potential xmult or sticker you don't have

[restive plover]

i can't escape it not at work not here not anywhere

[north schooner]

Let's see, EV with bp on space, playing 3 pairs a round is... 1.5 levels per round? With burnt it's 2.

[abstract rivet]

Well thats also assuming you get to fully play all the pairs and don't overscore by accident

[dapper orchid]

if you dont get to fully play all hands, do you need the burnt?

[north schooner]

Usually pretty easy to control with blackboard, but yeah, it's happened

[abstract rivet]

But yeah with 1 less hand especially feels like you will want an xmult (i assume they hieroglyped)

[north schooner]

and if not, space for a sticker, I guess

Hoping htr pulls through

[abstract rivet]

Strength and death pretty sweet combo

3 extra jacks if you hadn't already strengthed ur 10s

[north schooner]

Indeed, the reward for losing the jack to immolate I guess

[kindred cedar]

Release me

[craggy gale]

Dude this run is the embodiment of not the best but funny as fuck

[abstract rivet]

Oh epic antimatter

[craggy gale]

19 dollar temperances without negatives or egg is insane lmao

[kindred cedar]

I am not beating goldstake anytime soon

[north schooner]

fun runs are fun

[terse gyro]

almost a third of the way there with gold stickers,

[north schooner]

Obby might solo

[abstract rivet]

I only have 1 gold sticker left on my profile 2

And its the order

[kindred cedar]

Its ante 1 stage 1

[valid abyss]

jumpscare

[north schooner]

It's holo

[kindred cedar]

• rental

[north schooner]

Yeah, it's a stretch. Send me the seed when you're done though. I wanna try it.

[drowsy gulch]

most average ghost deck run

[kindred cedar]

I already restarted, im sorry

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[kindred cedar]

Okay i think this is a sign to never touch gold stake again

[craggy gale]

Aw

Anyways if you want to get this, skip first small blind

Ghost deck gold stake

Didn’t make the best decisions so it is very possible to go a lot further than I did

[median kiln]

It may be painful, but it's an easy-ish win

[median kiln]

Gay monsters hiding among the trio of water balls

[kindred cedar]

Yeah i know, but after 8 resets i really did not want to do it, especially when it has rental on it

[manic talon]

THANK YOU ANCIENT JOKER saved my ass

ancient joker is really is just bloodstone

[craggy gale]

Oh no the mark on abandoned whatever should I do

[royal bobcat]

aj is the real goat

[terse gyro]

goood ass run

[valid abyss]

those who copy the baseball card

instead of the baron

are either really uncommon

or really based

[terse gyro]

in this run, baron came at the very end

[latent egret]

or really no kings in hand

[north schooner]

I can't believe:

• This run pulled through after such a terrible start
• pulled VV when I was only surviving on all three hands, after having to take hiero to survive the Water.
• HTR earned its sticker for real, even if it did fall short against VV when I only drew 2 of my 9 jacks with 2 discards.
• Mime, which I picked up as a pity sticker actually did something when I drew the steel six I made in... a4? and never saw for the rest of the game and had completely forgotten about.

[valid abyss]

shhh let me philosophize myself

[north schooner]

Spaceman put in WORK

[valid abyss]

holy shirt

[terse gyro]

those who come after

[north schooner]

you left off "... if it were good"

[valid abyss]

you get a 1 in 4 chance of ancient joker picking the suit you want

it is essentially just a more workplace inclusive bloodstone

[pure oasis]

this King must be useful but exactly how?

[valid abyss]

STEEL IT

AND BARON MIME THIS RUN

[north schooner]

Nah, you shrink your deck so you can always draw a flush of the right suit, and you skip to avoid clashing boss blinds. It's 100% reliable, unlike bloodstone.

[valid abyss]

ancient joker doesn't pick from the suits in your deck

at least thats what i think i understood from what you just said

[north schooner]

No, that's why you shrink your deck

[valid abyss]

for

[north schooner]

so that if it says spades, you can ensure you can draw a spade flush, etc

[valid abyss]

oh thats what you mean

sure thats plausible but a little hard to do in practice

[terse gyro]

what 4 jokers do you have left, curious about that

[valid abyss]

i get what you mean though

[plush osprey]

bro has a small deck

[valid abyss]

but its easier to just find an oops

at that point

[north schooner]

not so sure

[north schooner]

Sixth Sense
Turtle Bean
Idol
Perkeo

How did I get Baron without mime?

[valid abyss]

can we get a perkeo v2

win the run instantly if you're based

i think its a pretty good joker ability

[north schooner]

It doesn't take that much cutting to make it almost a sure thing. You just have to make sure you win in one hand. And cut proportionately.

[valid abyss]

ok but hear me out

buy an oops

[drowsy gulch]

im having none of this bloodstone propaganda

[quartz ember]

ok but hear me out

[valid abyss]

i am having none of this anti bloodstone propaganda

[quartz ember]

no oops in sight

[valid abyss]

especially from a person named 8 ball messiah

[valid abyss]

ok but hear me out

wear glasses

hope this helps

[drowsy gulch]

how to spot heretics in the wild

[quartz ember]

already am 🤓

[valid abyss]

here you go https://google.com/

[north schooner]

Way easier to get down to 45 cards than it is to both find oops and make everything hearts, and not die to the Head

[drowsy gulch]

purple seals dont exist, dont worry

[north schooner]

what?

[valid abyss]

making sure you have 5 cards of a really good card for each suit to ensure ancient joker is good is far harder than "ok this isnt a heart so let me use this hung man on it"

[drowsy gulch]

you dont get it, its easier to find a clean oops than to deckfix

[quartz ember]

also just -1 joker slot in general unless you find yet more specific things for oops synergy

[north schooner]

You don't need a really good card, you just need a few jupiters

[valid abyss]

oh and just before we continue this inherently civil conversation can you sign this document saying this will not descend into a degenerate argument about cards in a funny number game

[floral mural]

strong deck cutting is all it takes to make ancient good while bloodstone needs oops and not getting head which are far less reliable to get

bloodstones requirements arent stuff in your control

[north schooner]

As long as you don't glaze flash card, we're good

[floral mural]

which is the main problem

[valid abyss]

i fucking hate flash card

so we're good

[drowsy gulch]

if you want to play bloodstone you find an oops first, build around lucky cards and whatever and then go for bloodstone, not the other way around

[valid abyss]

counterargument

[drowsy gulch]

oops is useful by itself, bloodstone isnt

[valid abyss]

+15 mult

free dopamine

[floral mural]

and using bloodstone without requirements is way riskier than ancient too

[north schooner]

1 in 32 chance of 1x

[valid abyss]

ok im going to be honest

bloodstone is just so much more fun to use

[floral mural]

ancient and bloodstone score the same but sure

[drowsy gulch]

bloodstone is just uncommon misprint

[valid abyss]

i had a bloodstone hit all 5 hearts once

i dont think i can ever be as happy as i was that day

which not only says a lot about my life but it says a lot about how fun bloodstone is

[north schooner]

Sure there's a 1 in 32 chance of that as well

[valid abyss]

i am going to 1 in 32 chance your save file

[floral mural]

1 in 4 chance to barely outdo tribe on bloodstone btw

[north schooner]

It's not uncommon if you're playing how many hands to ante 8? At least 30?

[valid abyss]

more than 1

probably

[north schooner]

OOF

[floral mural]

like 2 triggers are the average but you still need to hit 2 triggrrs

and unfortunately if youre using flushes you need all 5

[restive plover]

bloodstone moment 😈

[north schooner]

Bloodstone lovers in shambles

[valid abyss]

i can confirm

[royal bobcat]

wait until you won't get any scoring when you need it

[floral mural]

also chance based scoring sycks to rely on and bloodstone is xmult so you cant ignore it post ante 3 unlike misprint

[pure oasis]

"few minutes later..."

[valid abyss]

holy fuck guys i just made a discovery

hanged man is the aftermath of hanging chad

the hung man's name is chad

[north schooner]

Ok, I got 1/3 closer to c++, and I have work to do. I'm out, may your bananas live as long as you need them, and your bloodstones not abandon you in your hour of need

[restive plover]

wouldn't have been a two eternal bloodstone run without it lmao

Clair Obscur my beloved

[mild vigil]

I'm also contemplating not getting that.

So should I get these games with all my remaining game money or nah

[frank light]

if you could only get one game from this year

its that one

[mild vigil]

Is balatro worth the price I'm paying lol

[heavy solstice]

For the bundle or just the game

You ask the server full of balatro players of course i'll say yes

But really depends

How you like balatro

[mild vigil]

I don't know is the issue

I love seeing challenge runs

[frank light]

Balatro is worth 60 bucks iibh

[heavy solstice]

Yeah, but decide.

I know i didn't regret paying for it

I occasionally play

[mild vigil]

But I don't think I'd like. Playing it

[heavy solstice]

Lose, start a run, lose again

It's fun

Trying for mundane strategies besides the usual stuff makes it fun to me

Working with whatever i've got and calculating my every move

[frank light]

Cloverpit is also a banger

definitely worth it as well

[mild vigil]

That leaves me with 10 bucks if I buy that now what could I get for that 10?

[spice flare]

guys i just got the game

how do i play it

i can never get 300 chips

my max is 100

is this game just rng

[mild vigil]

Play higher tiered pokerhands

i select multiple cards but it only plays one
