[flat rock]

Send him to black deck gold stake

[torn drift]

easy win

[flat rock]

Yo ass LYING

[torn drift]

idk i didnt unlocked it

[balmy ridge]

when big larry came just to put him down

spongebob turned into a clown

[mild hazel]

Hi, Is there any optimised way to get legendary joker in gold stake ?

[quartz ember]

play with consistent econ to be able to afgord all the packs

[tardy spade]

that's a good strategy on gold stake anyway

[mild hazel]

THat's not a optimisation, but just a normal play tho

[tardy spade]

the way to find legendaries is by opening arcana and spectral packs

that's how you do it

[mild hazel]

That's not my ask but well

[tardy spade]

what is your ask?

[mild hazel]

If there is any optimised way to get them, not how to get them.

[blissful shard]

4th won round no turtle bean,spend down 100$ with overstock plus

[tardy spade]

what do you mean by optimised?

[mild hazel]

More odds to get them

[tardy spade]

yeah I don't think so

if you have all other spectral cards in your possession, do you always get a soul?

[mild hazel]

I'm almost sure you can't do it without a perkeo anyway

And even more before ante 8

[torn drift]

i won red stake with only 12 rounds

i skipped all rounds

[mild hazel]

Tho I don't know if spectral deck is stronger for seaarch

[tardy spade]

yeah I don't think there's a way. I think it's a fixed %0.4 chance

[tardy spade]

soul cards can't appear in the shop, so I'd say no

[quartz ember]

yea but thats all you can do so thats why I said it

I mean if you want you can do anaglyph for a chance to get a big arcana/spectral skip but I would argue that its better to do more cobsistent runs on yellow deck

[alpine talon]

JOKERLESS FINALLY BEATEN

[tardy spade]

gg

[solid tapir]

another L for the violent vessel

[torn drift]

what

thats impossible

[alpine talon]

@everyone get a load of this guy

[sacred path]

checkered deck strategy? staight flush?

[alpine talon]

Just flush

[torn drift]

flush

easy af

one of the best deck

[solid tapir]

we dont need jokers to beat this game

[alpine talon]

On white stake*

[torn drift]

oh

[solid tapir]

well yes

[alpine talon]

Did anyone beat jokerless on hold stake on black deck

[sacred path]

does hiker joker stack on cards?

[solid tapir]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89bQmpePwfI

I was right

[solid tapir]

yes

[alpine talon]

Holy

[solid tapir]

we truly do not need jokers to beat this game

[alpine talon]

Indeed

I am NOT doing that

[solid tapir]

no one is as goated as Dr. Spectred

so no one is going to attempt this

[alpine talon]

Actually gold stake for jokerless is basically purple stake

Think about it last 2 stakes are affecting jokers only

[quartz ember]

I love referencing a video that doesnt beat the challenge in question

(later he beats it in another video so doesnt really matter but)

[solid tapir]

true

[solid tapir]

what does this mean

[quartz ember]

did you watch the vid

[solid tapir]

yes

[pale wolf]

that was lvl 1 pairs for 4 rounds until i finally drew all my blue seals

awful but raised fist is kinda broken

[alpine talon]

It's only 20 mult

Not too good

[pale wolf]

max 22

but yea its very consistent

and benefits from steel

[lament crater]

do we need cards to beat the game?

[pale wolf]

steel is why raised fist is juiced tf up, it adds an entire category of xmult thats applicable to your joker

[solid tapir]

interesting question

[pale wolf]

yes

[solid tapir]

might have to do a looks inside

[lament crater]

i did watch a video

[pale wolf]

if you have no cards you lose

[lament crater]

where someone started with no deck

and then rerolled for arcana skip tag

to get judgement

to get stone joker or certificate

[pale wolf]

marble

[lament crater]

mb

[quartz ember]

evidently not as in the video black deck gold stake is not beaten jokerless

[solid tapir]

the link to the other video is in the comments

same thing

[pale wolf]

how did they win, was it plasma?

[quartz ember]

ah yes, great

[lament crater]

lemme find the video again

[solid tapir]

technically stone cards are cards

[pale wolf]

and then you still needed the cards to beat the game, even if you didnt start with any

[lament crater]

true

[pale wolf]

if you had watched the vid that was posted in chat then you would see that he loses it, the one where he wins is called a master class in calculated risk or something

[solid tapir]

yes I know

I have seen both

[pale wolf]

okey

[tardy spade]

it still scores when debuffed, just gives no chips

[lament crater]

there are actually multiple and they all do with a challenge deck with no effect i think

this is the one i watched: https://youtu.be/4xsdO-7uxY8?si=xXl1zm25B1g1LwZr

there is also: https://youtu.be/v5QlpxhThvI?si=GtOTzDa7iYYuzYge

but it all starts with the same principle of marble joker

[solid tapir]

thats what a debuffed card does, yes.

[lament crater]

this was the final build for the first pic

[manic talon]

the video where he actually beats the challenge is annoyingly hard to find

[solid tapir]

I like aces

[tardy spade]

BU likes balatro doesn't he?

[tardy spade]

this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=393RyKvmWfE

[manic talon]

yea that one

[lament crater]

now i'm curious

[manic talon]

if you search gold stake black deck jokerless it doesnt show up

[solid tapir]

the one where he loses is the first one that shows up and the masterclass one doesn't at all for me

[tardy spade]

it's in the pinned comment of the other one

[solid tapir]

I have to find it in the comments

[lament crater]

would smth like a 0 card deck, you have to roll for arcana pack > judgement > marble/certificate, BUT the cards are constantly debuffed, basically being no cards, work?

[pale wolf]

The first video is so dumb, it immediately violates its own rules

[solid tapir]

debuffed cards are still cards

[lament crater]

but technically they would be as useless as no cards

they would pose as psuedocards

you have them

[pale wolf]

instead of just using brainstorm to reroll seeds for arcana packs or judgments with marble Joker, giving yourself a marble Joker from the very start and then using two skips is more resources than before

[solid tapir]

but they are still cards yk

[lament crater]

but they benefit you just as much as not having them

[solid tapir]

debuffed face cards scaling bus

a debuffed 2pair or full house also scales pants

and grimbo

and SN

[lament crater]

then only marble allowed

and no other cards other than stone cards allowed

then you would truly have no effect i think

[solid tapir]

but stone cards are cards 😔

[lament crater]

but for the principle of the challenge they'd be debuffed anyway so basically they are just no cards

[pale wolf]

You could test this by playing double or nothing and playing as many of your cards as you can in the first ante

All debuffed cards

[solid tapir]

perhaps by some rule creating an exception

but we can't win balatro without cards

seemingly

[lament crater]

and also, would decks like plasma be allowed or does it have to be a challenge deck with no effect

actually how would you ever get past the first ante

i can still imagine that (under the conditions of playing plasma deck) if you get another arcana skip tag on big blind, and from that you get a joker that gives you enough chips to clear the boss blind, it would be possible

so like getting ice cream on the 2nd judgemenet possibly

or actually if you get fool in the same pack as the first judgement possibly

[torn drift]

i can beat plasma deck gold stake with no joker

[pale wolf]

i should replace jimbo with this i think

[solid tapir]

we will never know

[lament crater]

unless someone tries

[solid tapir]

why replace jimbo when you can keep him

[lament crater]

could be a cool but painful challenge

but all the cooler if you complete it

[pale wolf]

overscoring for digging for rebate

esp bc its rental

[solid tapir]

you have $56

and you are on gold stake

I would advise against getting rid of that +14

[pale wolf]

naturally

[solid tapir]

KHPBCKDK this seed is cooler on black deck gold stake

try it

[pale wolf]

the sly joker + raised fist will be a massive scoring boost bc i dont have chips

and its also a $1 holo

[solid tapir]

no hands levels

?

[pale wolf]

some

[solid tapir]

what hand

[pale wolf]

another thing I have to dig for is blue seals

pairs

[solid tapir]

makes more sense now

fair enough

[pale wolf]

raised fist kinda sucks with bigger hands

you need to block the low cards by playing them

[solid tapir]

low straights

but I get what you mean

[pale wolf]

pretty hard to build a deck around long-term though

[lament crater]

i dont have black deck gold stake on my main profile but lemme see

[ripe oriole]

I really inflicted myself a run with only 2 tarot slots and no overstock for 26 ante lmaoo

[solid tapir]

fairs

[pale wolf]

jeez

[solid tapir]

gl

I have not attempted it on any stake lower than gold stake

managed to make it to ante 6 before dedge

OP couldn't make it past ante 3 and icl I can see why

[pale wolf]

oh wait I just realized why

[solid tapir]

realized why what

[pale wolf]

there was a cloud 9 behind the text box

[ripe oriole]

Will still managed to get fucked by burglar, as usual...

[pale wolf]

That's why I needed the extra slot too LOL

[torn drift]

is that u

[pale wolf]

no

[solid tapir]

awesome

[lament crater]

what's the catch in the seed

[spiral cairn]

balala

more like

balls

[solid tapir]

pain

[tardy spade]

This is a custom challenge I have, on the topic of beating balatro with no cards

[solid tapir]

I will say, after ante 3. You have a free run-ish

if it was white stake I probably could beat it easy

because the jokers I got in ante 4 make the run free ash

just not enough resources unfortunately due to gold stake and black deck

[pale wolf]

Would it be cool for there to be a spectral card that converts one card to the rank of another card

[solid tapir]

so death

[pale wolf]

no

just the rank

[solid tapir]

weaker death ?

[ripe oriole]

Not weaker you fool

[solid tapir]

if it is only copying the rank

[pale wolf]

what do you think I want to do with that four

[ripe oriole]

But more like a card that remove enhancements from a card and move them to 2nd selected card

[pulsar forge]

yeah it would be cool but yknow

pretty easy to death everything from there

[solid tapir]

this is completely different to what they said

like.. an entirely different concept

[pale wolf]

I can't death the four because it's too small for raised fist and far away from my range for strengthening, I might actually end up hangmanning it later

[ripe oriole]

Lmao it's pretty much the same if you think about it

[pale wolf]

anyways the spectral card would be called Possession

[ruby trail]

hack build fr

[solid tapir]

different enough for it to matter for deck fixing

[tardy spade]

no it's not

[lament crater]

...where are the jokers...

[solid tapir]

the jokers are in ante 1 round 2

that's your hint

you get 1 jonkler that matters

@ripe oriole your idea will make it so that the 4 remains in the deck

[lament crater]

then reroll ig

[solid tapir]

lets say we transfer the steel and blue seal to a 7

we keep the 4 and the steel becomes a zoolander

@pale wolf's idea makes it so that the 4 turns into a 7

so now we have five 7's and three 4's

[lament crater]

i'm missing 1 dollaroo for green joker...

[ripe oriole]

It's the same concept and idea, the details don't matter at all, dont @ me for something this futile

[solid tapir]

there is a lot of optimizing you can do to get out in one hand

for round 1

[lament crater]

i need to play big blind in one hand ig

[solid tapir]

and round 2 you can get out in 2 hands

nono BB you can only get out in 2 hands

round 1 you can get out in 1

[lament crater]

yeah ik

[pale wolf]

well that sucks

[solid tapir]

smartest balala player to walk the earth

[lament crater]

the pain is to type this seed over and over in mobile

[pale wolf]

ill wait for xmult instead

[lament crater]

instead of being able to paste it

[solid tapir]

ouf

[lament crater]

actually

nvm

im blind

theres paste seed

button

call me names

[solid tapir]

I thought yall didn't have it fr

[winter pike]

smartest balala player

[lament crater]

alright i got green joker ig

[solid tapir]

now gl

for like 2-3 retries I was getting baited by the red card

[lament crater]

tell me, is there a good tarot in ante 2 shop

[solid tapir]

nope

[lament crater]

then no fool value ig

[solid tapir]

nothing useful at least

I ended up saving the fool for something else later on

pretty sure it shows up in ante 3

I think

[lament crater]

thing is, do i want zany joker with the fact that i'll have to use discards in the worst case and make my green joker worse

[solid tapir]

you need zany

and you can play without making grimbo worse for a while

[pale wolf]

rebate keeps hitting only my low cards

it's a 2

[solid tapir]

rebate moment

[solid tapir]

it'll hit poly next time

[pale wolf]

i win!

[solid tapir]

I love hit road the

[pale wolf]

Wait I just had a funny idea

[solid tapir]

foil is a hit

and a welcome one

[lament crater]

ante 3 rn

[solid tapir]

read the boss blind

[pulsar forge]

the runner:

[lament crater]

what are these shit jokers in shop

[solid tapir]

before you make choices

[lament crater]

fuck you pillar

[solid tapir]

foil runner

more chips is chips

[fluid wedge]

Me with a killer paradoilia build

The humble plant:

[solid tapir]

once I figured out the line it was actually very easy to get out of ante 3

it was the following ante's that were extra crushing

[tardy spade]

wtf why is this so hard?
Surely the x4 blind size has nothing to do with it

[solid tapir]

surely

[ruby trail]

i just sold luchador to the verdant leaf

[tardy spade]

enjoy your doublely disabled verdant leaf

[fluid wedge]

Task failed successfully

[solid tapir]

congratulations you sacrificed an innocent man

[solid tapir]

the plant is not a huge problem fr

water and flint are the real assholes

[lament crater]

will a reroll on shop before small ante help me

[ruby trail]

psychic on a baron mime build

[solid tapir]

no

the correct line is to actually double skip

[lament crater]

...? how tf are you scoring

[solid tapir]

grimbo, zany, greedy

[tardy spade]

do stone cards in your hand rank by their hidden rank?

[lament crater]

i barely scored past ante 2 boss

[solid tapir]

and full house level 2

that was my set up going into the BB

you get out in 3 hands

[lament crater]

where did you get greedy from

i did not see that

[solid tapir]

Ante 2

Round 2

[solid tapir]

greedy is important

[mild hazel]

Can you find souls card in a spectral pack ?

[lament crater]

yeah gg i did not see that or i js didnt wanna buy it, one of two

[solid tapir]

it shows up in shop after r2

[ruby trail]

yea

[lament crater]

you didnt need it

[solid tapir]

nice

now good luck with the rest of the ante's

[pulsar forge]

The Fish

[fluid wedge]

Which joker is the one unlocked by scoring like 100 mil in one hand?

[solid tapir]

since you took the uncommon skip you should get a nice gift for ante 4

[shell dagger]

Stuntman

[pulsar forge]

shunned man

[mild hazel]

Thanks

[left elm]

Should I get cat instead of opss ??

[haughty carbon]

Where's your square joker and 13 xmult jokers

With level 99 pair

[haughty carbon]

Without the oops, the cat sucks

Just skip

[pale wolf]

hrt

[lament crater]

hologram...

[solid tapir]

yup

[lament crater]

which doesnt even help me in small ante where i now die

[solid tapir]

did you die ?

[pale grotto]

I play a run today with 3 htr

[pale grotto]

I lost :(

[solid tapir]

this is why greedy is important

and the double skip would have given you a free shop too

[lament crater]

yes it did give me a free

shop

from which i sold the two tarots from empress

sold the hologram

used the 2 packs for full house

and rerolled

for the hand size

[solid tapir]

we both did completely different lines lol

I ended up going with the hologram

I got him to like x2.75 or x3

went 4oak 8's

[lament crater]

i wonder if i reroll one more time will i find a good joker

[solid tapir]

I want Dr. Spectred to try that seed

would be interesting to see how he wins it

I think its possible

[lament crater]

ima switch to pc because i want my save states to save me time through the first antes

[pale wolf]

glowman obe

[solid tapir]

retrying ?

[pale wolf]

this is beautiful

[lament crater]

then i have to go through the first antes and thats boringggg

[pale wolf]

familiar is 1/4 chance to kill a jack and on average makes 1 jack

[waxen fable]

Familiar gonna kill one of those jacks and then spawn anything but jacks

But this is negative thinking annd. Not fun

[lament crater]

its gonna kill the 5

trust

[pale wolf]

the highest card I'm holding is a Jack, meaning that whatever face cards generated that aren't Jacks will be strictly detrimental and not strengthable into any useful cards

[gloomy swallow]

when that grimbo burglar vagabond vampire combo hits hard

[pale wolf]

and my deck size is already bloated

[waxen fable]

Me personally I'd do a pussy move it's called click familiar and then save scummy

[gloomy swallow]

jacking it...

[waxen fable]

If it hit Jack

[solid tapir]

just asking if you're gonna keep attempting the seed kek

[lament crater]

yea i am

i'm set on the challenge

this helps me as a player

[pale wolf]

I just took the temperance, because of this boss blind as well

[solid tapir]

I applaud you

[solid tapir]

it does

[winter pike]

extremely easy run

[solid tapir]

campfire ✨

[winter pike]

riff raff my goat giving me a negative golden joker

[pale wolf]

ugh

[solid tapir]

also negative golden boy is just...

drunkard question mark

[latent egret]

maybe cs if you got lots of jacks

[pale wolf]

yea its just getting tight

plant is next

[solid tapir]

yeah

can't get rid of cs

[latent egret]

feelsbadman

[pale wolf]

if this was next round id be so happy

[solid tapir]

open arcana hoping for glass ?

[pale wolf]

I don't like opening the arcana without re-rolling to block with tarots

or planets for the celestial

[solid tapir]

buy BP, then roll

[shell dagger]

Round 24 xmult pivot

[solid tapir]

Arrowhead the goat

[pale wolf]

with what, glass?

[shell dagger]

Yeah

1 red seal glass king

Could’ve won with just chips but this is more fun

[solid tapir]

red seal glass is strong ash fr

[heady tiger]

Question, if I order my jokers as Midas > Vamp > S&B, would that result in the cards becoming gold, getting sucked up, and then becoming gold again?

[shell dagger]

No

[heady tiger]

Damn, would've been cute

[solid tapir]

would be funny

[pale wolf]

if I had known the future I could have kept rebate

[solid tapir]

do you live ?

31k without cs

[pale wolf]

30k x 4 is 120k

and i have 5 hands total

[solid tapir]

yeh

good job

[pale wolf]

so I didn't even need card sharp

[solid tapir]

another reason why the plant is not a real bb

[pale wolf]

anyways I got a better drunkard

this is literally the best Joker for my build

[solid tapir]

Mr.Andy

[winter pike]

there are no real boss blinds

[shell dagger]

Is it gonna triple htr

[solid tapir]

this is true

[solid tapir]

more discards makes hit road the stronger fs

and since they are playing pairs

even better

[ripe oriole]

Well well well....

[ruby trail]

what happens with an idol with all stone cards

[mortal nimbus]

Ace of Spades

[shell dagger]

Yea but I doubt the extra discards are worth a card sharp

[solid tapir]

if they have enough jacks it's possible

would make a decision based on that

[shell dagger]

If HTR is getting 2.5x pre andy, it would need to be 7.5x to match card sharp

On a repeat hand

[lament crater]

@solid tapir i definitely got here with more money this run

[pale wolf]

👼

[solid tapir]

figured it'd be much easier on white stake haha

[lament crater]

oh fuck

i completely forgot

😭

[solid tapir]

true

[solid tapir]

lmaoo

[pale wolf]

well I also want to dig through my deck to actually find the Jacks

and I have purple seals of course

[lament crater]

i wondered why i suddenly didnt have swashbuckler rental

[solid tapir]

less painful run

[lament crater]

sorry, i'll go back to gold stake

[solid tapir]

it's allg fr

[lament crater]

istg im a dumbass

[solid tapir]

you can attempt it on white stake too

[lament crater]

i wondered why i now have like 36 dollaroos

[solid tapir]

I noticed that too and immediately looked at the stake

had to make sure I wasn't doing a stupid

[lament crater]

but you can certainly cut down on green joker as to what i see

[solid tapir]

I personally never felt safe doing it

you can try

[lament crater]

well i optimized so far that i already know what cards im gonna draw 😭

[solid tapir]

I had ante 1-3 fully mapped out on my notepad

kek

[lament crater]

ok

its only a 6 dollar difference

[solid tapir]

still rich

rich is good

[lament crater]

you can actually scrape by ante 2 boss blind without green

[pale wolf]

I just realized that the game didn't save my last streak record

[lament crater]

you go into ante 3 with 40 bucks

rich

[solid tapir]

nice

you're optimizing this better than I did so far

at least money wise

[lament crater]

yea

we dont know if this is a better path yet tho

[solid tapir]

you'll figure it out

soon enough

[lament crater]

i wanted to see if it is worth it not double skipping

you do get upgrades to 3oak but its rental so fuck that 😭

[solid tapir]

might be needed to help you live

dk what the scoring is looking like

but SF is nice

[lament crater]

i think a lvl 2 full house scored 5k for me rn

[solid tapir]

that's good

one of those celestial packs has a FH level p sure

[balmy ridge]

god DAMN. do i even take idol?

[solid tapir]

no

[balmy ridge]

tc go next?

[lament crater]

yeah

lvl 3 rn

[solid tapir]

probably

[solid tapir]

nice

[solid tapir]

it would be better to take tc if you have something to find in your deck

maybe later you will

[pale wolf]

raised fist is kinda broken tbh

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1431618992333918342/InShot_20251025_081657583.mp4?ex=68fe1295&is=68fcc115&hm=cc8d97551ef7906c62a1ebdd34c2d2ad7fe46b6d6299d4adc071ecb1e998b75a&

[solid tapir]

I like the fist

[lament crater]

actually the path i took rn screwed me up

[solid tapir]

damn

what happened

[lament crater]

no full house material

but its ok

i put a save state at start of ante 3

[solid tapir]

there were a lot more Mars cards down the line

[royal ore]

raised fist is good yes but maybe hit the road and your pair levels were why you won

[solid tapir]

cool

I did all my resetting without those lmao

[pale wolf]

raised fist is why i could get any of those

[lament crater]

i mean thats also fine but it tedious kinda

[solid tapir]

I wish I did it the way you're doing, I was just lazy and didn't bother learning how to do it

[pale wolf]

and i didnt have that many pair levels tbh

[solid tapir]

zeba

you have level 40 pairs

on gold stake

you had pair levels 😭

but yeah raised fist did a lot of heavy lifting too

[pale wolf]

thats only a few

[winter pike]

couldve been more

couldve been 50 or something

[pale wolf]

I didn't even bluesealmaxx

[winter pike]

or 60 or 70

[pale wolf]

probably couldve hit 69 since i was playing so safely

i was getting remaining hand money every round

[solid tapir]

majority of my gold stake runs I manage like level 30 pairs

if I get certificate or burnt I can get to 40+

[willow frost]

i usually stop at 20ish and focus on scaling jokers

[pale wolf]

im just slightly high and wanted the safety buffer for stupid mistakes like selling card sharp for merry andy :^)

[solid tapir]

not a good idea honestly

[willow frost]

how come

[solid tapir]

fair

[pale wolf]

The chips

[solid tapir]

why would you stop scaling your hands

[willow frost]

id rather sell the planets for money

[pale wolf]

Blue seal planets?

[willow frost]

yeah

[pale wolf]

what are you trying to get instead???

[willow frost]

money

[pale wolf]

for what

[solid tapir]

this is worse than hearing white stake endless players say baron and idol is good

[pale wolf]

to buy what

[willow frost]

im trying to get negative blueprint

[pale wolf]

oh come on you're trolling

[solid tapir]

I'm actually so astonished

that someone plays like this

[pale wolf]

tbh though...

[pale wolf]

this was a mistake too

[sudden meteor]

mfw i get a nat negative invis first shop in

[pale wolf]

i ended up not needing the chips from sly at all in the face of blue seals

[solid tapir]

the seed trolls us sometimes

[solid tapir]

at the time your decision making was reasonable

imho

[sudden meteor]

agreed (it only went downhill from there)

[solid tapir]

[lament crater]

surely i take the jumbo pack

yesy what do you think

[solid tapir]

well

it's worth it for holo

so yeah

[mighty venture]

GUY

my banana card play 17 game NOT BROKEN

[sudden meteor]

long live the banana

[mighty venture]

WTH BRO MY LUCK

GUMRBL2Z bro play my seed 😭✌️

How tf 17 game NOT BROKEN

[fiery kiln]

I just watched a youtuber on the all eternal challenge take photograph when they have ride the buss

genius

[tranquil cedar]

they're a balatro player

they can't read

[sudden meteor]

the most intelligent Balatro specimen

[mighty venture]

Is my fav combo

[tranquil cedar]

reading the joker explains the joker

[tranquil cedar]

stencil is doing quite literally nothing

[sudden meteor]

but why read when I can make numbers go up

[tranquil cedar]

heh number get big

fun

number is become big number man happy

[sudden meteor]

see number - is big

[fiery kiln]

Also in typecast they saw first shop mime and red card

They took mime

[sudden meteor]

always the speculative mime

[tranquil cedar]

skill issue

well I mean it's balatro after all

who doesn't love gambling

[sudden meteor]

gambling but the only loss is your mental state

[lament crater]

yesy i dont like the hook anymore

[sonic robin]

Surprised I manage to have double banana 🤣

[fiery kiln]

what is this

[lament crater]

@solid tapir dk what to do here honestly, the tarot pack has emperor, empress and priestess, surely i take the jumbo standard pack but then idk how to get my hand when the fucking hook exists

[solid tapir]

mega standard, and empress perhaps

[lament crater]

lemme try

[solid tapir]

hoping to draw 3oak or fh

[lament crater]

take poly 6 and steel 7?

only 2 mult choices i see

[solid tapir]

sure

[lament crater]

now the dilemma

will i get those jacks in the boss blind

[solid tapir]

good luck

😭

[lament crater]

lemme save here

[ruby trail]

what if the telescope didnt put the planet card at the first spot

[winter pike]

?

[solid tapir]

what if telescope was a blank voucher in disguise

[viral raft]

A deck that should be buffed/nerfed?

[lament crater]

i dont get any fucking 3oaks

[ruby trail]

nebula

[viral raft]

imo Yellow is too good and Black sucks ahh

[lament crater]

well i wouldve gotten one

[solid tapir]

8's?

[white zodiac]

40 minutes of digging

[hardy fable]

guess what hand I was playing

[solid tapir]

I also died on ante 6

what was your line up

[white zodiac]

stm, scary, grimbo, burger, other stuff

[solid tapir]

I see

seed is doable tho right

[white zodiac]

yeah

[solid tapir]

just need to be better fr

[lament crater]

where was that hc icl

[white zodiac]

I died to something stupid

threw away all my queens

[solid tapir]

rip

[solid tapir]

high card ?

[lament crater]

hanging chad

[solid tapir]

ahic

[lament crater]

not enough...

[solid tapir]

sad

[lament crater]

time to rewind

[solid tapir]

if you took the 8 instead if the 7 you could have drawn a 4oak there, that's what saved me

[white zodiac]

I was at 90 bucks at one point so that just comes down to shop searching optimization

[solid tapir]

cuz my 4oak was like level 5

[white zodiac]

which I don't have patience for

[solid tapir]

wow

nice

[white zodiac]

midas burger

[lament crater]

lemme rewind to that 8 then

[solid tapir]

I did consider midas but was too concerned with scoring

good to know

[white zodiac]

grimbo is on the third shop btw

it's enough

[solid tapir]

I did have grimbo

grimbo, zany, greedy, holo, something else

[white zodiac]

zany

[solid tapir]

😭

[wanton fjord]

balatroze and his ai generated shit content pisses me off

sorry

[lament crater]

the 4oak does 3k only 😭

[narrow wadi]

do i get vagabond here? i know it's eternal but it's so early and i can still have money at the end of the round cos rebate

[solid tapir]

Mars levels

[lament crater]

true..

[white zodiac]

if you were wondering why I had 90 bucks

[mortal aurora]

mult time

[white zodiac]

that was the reason

[lament crater]

lemme go back to ante 3

[solid tapir]

yeye I figured as much

if I try the seed again I will go midas line

[lament crater]

hm

oh wait yeah the double skip

ig

[lunar zealot]

this stupid dumb idiot thinks he's a bunny

[lament crater]

yesy

[narrow wadi]

i think he is a bunny

[white zodiac]

there's some weird rental + card discarding tech I used over the next two antes that I use in my own runs. idk how to word it

[solid tapir]

mhm

[hardy fable]

he's obviously a fish

[lament crater]

i turned 2 kings into lucky cards

[solid tapir]

I am unfamiliar with the tech so :P

[lament crater]

both +20 mult and 20 bucks hit

money!!!!!!!!

[solid tapir]

the first luckies hit, yes.

[lament crater]

interesting to find out

[hardy fable]

if I play nebula deck do I just get roi if I buy the vouchers every ante

[eternal flame]

I am so upset

violent vessel got me again

[white zodiac]

directors cut is your best friend/finisher blind repellent

[signal frigate]

Pair's worst nightmare if you don't have a scaling Xmult

[shell dagger]

Scary bell

[eternal flame]

I had cavendish AND card sharp

[shell dagger]

Couldn’t risk using dusk

[signal frigate]

Looks like it wasn't enough

[eternal flame]

yeah

cuz the boss is stupid

[signal frigate]

We're you gold chipping?

[lament crater]

oh thats perfectly on target

[eternal flame]

not really
I just picked up the raised fist early so that I could stay alive

[signal frigate]

I'm questioning why you took Fist unless you were chipping

[lunar zealot]

Hello gang gang

[white zodiac]

i didn't think about acro being a potential coughing baby on crimson

[signal frigate]

It ain't the boss' fault really

Violet Vessel is probably one of the more intimidating but balanced ante 8 boss

[white zodiac]

it's the hardest of the 5

[shell dagger]

I’ve had acro disabled on the last hand before, it sucks

Crimson is just swingy

[signal frigate]

It's challenging without any bullshit

[mortal aurora]

bloodstone gaming be like

[signal frigate]

No RNG, just a score test

[white zodiac]

the rng is the 1 in 5 of getting it

[signal frigate]

Holy shit I found a fellow 40k fan

[eternal flame]

I shoulda gotten lucky enough for acrobat 😔

[mortal aurora]

we are everywhere brother 🍻

[signal frigate]

Indeed brother

[signal frigate]

Kinda funny because I'm p sure World Eaters are actually calm as fuck when not in battle

[pliant jewel]

grimbo or square

[signal frigate]

Grimbo.

I'm not biased

Totally

Grimbo my beloved

[eternal flame]

grimbo if you aren't doing a discard joker

[signal frigate]

You don't have to get a discard joker for Grimbo to work

Just use your hands more than discards

[eternal flame]

no I don't mean that

I mean if you aren't doing some other joker like rebate

[signal frigate]

It can still work

[random ice]

Campfire wins the run again

[signal frigate]

But the alternative is Burglar interest

[minor gust]

Gang

I’m so close to c++

I would not wish this on my worst enemy though it’s fucking hard

[lament crater]

@solid tapir i'm stuck lowk

[solid tapir]

understandable

it's a rough seed

but andolth's line has a lot of potential

with the midas mask and grimbo

[signal frigate]

I've done 3 profiles of C++

Yeah

It's hard

But somewhat more fun than I realised

[lament crater]

thing is, even looking at soul i js cant understand a plausible path rn
https://spectralpack.github.io/TheSoul/?deck=Black+Deck&stake=Gold+Stake&seed=KHPBCKDK

[rancid widget]

bloodstone is a fucking abusive relationship istg

[rancid widget]

it fails me every time and i pick it up again

[minor gust]

Bro whyyy

[barren wigeon]

bloodstone and misprint are on the same level of not hitting for shit

[cursive lion]

looks inside

[solid tapir]

consider the midas line

cuz andolth was rich

and money is good

[barren wigeon]

do i wanna get C+? yes

[lament crater]

you js need to reroll on the right ante icl

[signal frigate]

I found it fun

[barren wigeon]

do i wanna play black deck?

absolutely not

[solid tapir]

yeh true

[minor gust]

Honestly I didn’t really struggle with black deck as some
Other ones

[left elm]

So should I get showman for oops ??

[signal frigate]

And also this game is the only game along with Slay the Spire where 100% achievement is actually REALLY goddamn fun

[narrow wadi]

this is me with plasma deck lol, ik it's the strongest but i hate playing it- it's so boring

[minor gust]

I have been doing plus plus with ghost deck

[barren wigeon]

nah i get you

[white zodiac]

forgot to mention about the chad rough gem

[barren wigeon]

dont like plasma deck at all

[minor gust]

Same

[solid tapir]

missed those lol

econ issue prolly

[white zodiac]

sign me up

[solid tapir]

plasma deck is my favorite deck

beloved chips

[rancid widget]

i hate it because i know it's easy and i feel like im a total noob when i die

[narrow wadi]

valid

[barren wigeon]

my favorite deck is yellow deck

i like money

[signal frigate]

Ghost and Magic are my favorites

[narrow wadi]

i find the chip jokers rly boring and one dimensional outside of like wee jokers, mult jokers have so many more fun interactions

[signal frigate]

It's actually really damn hard in Gold Stake

Plasma Gold Stake is pretty punishing

[solid tapir]

eh

I like all the chip jokers

[solid tapir]

never experienced this

[narrow wadi]

my favourite is zodiac deck probably, tarot cards are cool

[signal frigate]

It's triple score requirement can be challenging

[solid tapir]

I play plasma gold when I want to have a chill time

[winter pike]

its double

[white zodiac]

[signal frigate]

It's Checkered for me

[solid tapir]

squimbo my beloved

[signal frigate]

Checkered is the brain dead deck imo

[white zodiac]

plasma gold is anything but chill

[solid tapir]

checkered is also great

[lament crater]

yesy atp who from us 3 cna code a bruteforce seed solver ongollies /j

[left elm]

I need the answer now

[solid tapir]

I've never found myself struggling on it

[signal frigate]

It's so easy, I win without trying in that deck

[winter pike]

checkered is so boring imo

[solid tapir]

I can barely make a functioning game in python

[white zodiac]

the struggle comes out when you try to get a win streak on it

[solid tapir]

that I can agree with

not every seed on plasma gold is the easiest

ofc

[signal frigate]

Every seed is winnable

[solid tapir]

but that goes for every deck

[solid tapir]

this is true

[signal frigate]

It's more so a skill issue

[barren wigeon]

every seed can go up to e something

[white zodiac]

this has yet to be confirmed

[barren wigeon]

according to the goat

[signal frigate]

Even if the seed has a rough start, you can still get a win in it

[narrow wadi]

i feel this is probably true but like maybe there's a seed with like no mult jokers for the first 20 shops somewhere

[solid tapir]

we won't know

until it happens

[winter pike]

just play every seed

only a few trillion or something

[solid tapir]

the black deck gs seed I shared was thought to be impossible by OP but so far 2 people have made it to ante 6 whilst OP was dying on ante 3

[shell dagger]

proof by assertion

[solid tapir]

so I believe in my heart that every seed is winnable

[signal frigate]

I'm the guy to smash my head against the wall

That's how I get my wins

[narrow wadi]

you sound like an anime mc

[signal frigate]

I'm not the guy to get proof of that

[solid tapir]

this can be both a good and bad thing

[winter pike]

i feel like the odds of a seed being unbeatable are too small for there to be a decent chance that one exists

[shadow sundial]

ba la

[winter pike]

like it could exist

[lament crater]

hey im a beginner and got past ante 3 so is that good or smth

[solid tapir]

fair

[winter pike]

but theres not enough seeds for one to probably exist

[narrow wadi]

i think i meant it in a good way dw, just found it funny

[solid tapir]

lala

[shadow sundial]

mb weong link

[solid tapir]

it's really good

[solid tapir]

[shadow sundial]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gm5qsNRDyA

bunch of really smart people in a balatro seeds server im in did this

[restive plover]

balala. balala gaming

[lament crater]

guys i have this glitch where i lose runs, i think i find impossible seeds every run

[solid tapir]

just need the Dr.Spectred.exe patch

[winter pike]

im not watching all of this

right now

maybe later

[shadow sundial]

okay

[winter pike]

and by later i mean never

[lament crater]

yesy can you give me the midas path

[shadow sundial]

give the snart people a chsnce

smart

[shell dagger]

spoiler but ||BU beat it on black deck gold stake||

[solid tapir]

midas shows up

at some point early p sure

idr but I did see him

[lament crater]

ante 2 first shop according to soul

next to zany

[solid tapir]

also p sure its holo

[lament crater]

nah

[rugged pecan]

Just judgemented a brainstorm and wraithed a baron 🔥

[silk tapir]

straight af

[lament crater]

goddamnit i started the run on white stake again

[solid tapir]

lol

[lament crater]

anyways midas zany now

[solid tapir]

glgl

[hardy fable]

a run where red is better than blue

[solid tapir]

this is straight af

[tardy spade]

wha

[signal frigate]

That's because you have a setup that benefits from red seals

Or you mean the deck

[hardy fable]

the deck

[signal frigate]

I might be stupid

[hardy fable]

aren't we all

we're Balatro players :D

[signal frigate]

Glad you agree

[balmy ridge]

your name is dingus

[vocal warren]

this reminds me of the time i got my flush to level 53

[viral raft]

How can you guys send ggifs

lol

[balmy ridge]

hacking

[solid tapir]

floosh

[vocal warren]

yes dude

[solid tapir]

download and upload

[viral raft]

ok lol

[vocal warren]

flushing the enemies

time to balatro

-# yes, i know i said i needed to take a break from this game but also like.. it's healing my attention span actually

[hardy fable]

I need to play balatro more then

[vocal warren]

it's healing my attention span a little bit

[viral raft]

oh that's great

i hope that you get well

[vocal warren]

bcuz i can actually sit my ahh down and pay attention to the game instead of jumping 30 apps at once

[signal frigate]

I'm juggling between three games

[vocal warren]

real

[signal frigate]

Balatro, Slay the Spire and Voices of the Void.

Actually 4

Hollow Knight

[vocal warren]

I jump between discord servers and apps

[signal frigate]

I wish I wasn't poor enough to get Silksong

[viral raft]

Balatro, Celeste and Isaac

[vocal warren]

its discord, my messages, balatro, and another game i have on my phone

[viral raft]

those are my 3 games

[vocal warren]

I love celeste

I played it, it was awesome

[viral raft]

Celeste is peak plataform games

[vocal warren]

real

[viral raft]

with Super Meat Boy

[vocal warren]

i really wanna play the binding of issac too

[signal frigate]

Hollow Knight, Balatro and Voices of the Void are the ones keeping my monkey brain happy af rn

[viral raft]

Is fun

[vocal warren]

Oh boy, I hope the binding of issac is on the gamepass!

[signal frigate]

Especially Voices, this game is great

Immersive sim with horror elements

[viral raft]

Isaac is fun but i'd suggest you to play with mods

[vocal warren]

I sure do hope this game isn't gonna cost me an arm and a head!

[viral raft]

in bought the isaac with + DLCs for just 13$ because of steam sales

it was worthy

[vocal warren]

it's gonna cost me 15 dollars

💔

rip

[signal frigate]

This game allows me to import any video stored in my computer in the in-game TV while doing work

I love it.

[viral raft]

yeah it hurts when the game isn't 99% discount on steam

[lament crater]

@solid tapir this seed is breaking me

[signal frigate]

My first real purchase was Terraria

[silk tapir]

what was the last slot?

[viral raft]

Pizza tower

It was fun ngl

[solid tapir]

I feel you

😭

[solid tapir]

nothing

didnt roll for a replacement joker

[lament crater]

i dont know anything anymore

[solid tapir]

maybe put it down for today

[silk tapir]

levels were all from Blues?

[solid tapir]

blues and celestial packs

[silk tapir]

nice

[solid tapir]

I had telescope

[viral raft]

it's normal to make alot of 100% on this game?

[signal frigate]

I have 3 c++ profiles

[viral raft]

like i'm trying to 100% again onm Mobile and my other steam account

[rose wolf]

sometimes it was possible to make jokers eternal

[silk tapir]

I have 2 C++, 1 on PC 1 on mobile

[lament crater]

the thing is its either this or playing plasma orange stake

i'm shit at both

[solid tapir]

play plasma fr

[silk tapir]

new profile just gives a target to play for

[rose wolf]

i really like joker stencil

[solid tapir]

go chips maxxing

[viral raft]

cool, i already have 91% on mobile and 68% on my other account

[lament crater]

and then i get the same joker luck like in this serd

its like i get a variant of this seed

every time i load up plasma orange

[solid tapir]

Im manifesting a scaling chips joker for you next plasma run dw

[silk tapir]

I bought Minecraft over a decade ago through my friend, I gave him my lunch money and had him buy it for me since I had no way to buy stuff online myself

[rose wolf]

i once got a run on plasma with 3 eternal polychrome stencils, i lost it to crimson heart though 💔 🥀

[white zodiac]

chip value requirements for plasma
(violet vessel requirements in parentheses)
1 hand: 1789 (3099)
3 hands: 1033 (1789)
4 hands: 895 (1550)

just fyi

[solid tapir]

the valuation on that goes crazy

[signal frigate]

Most of my steam games are gifts lmao

I'm that broke

[silk tapir]

I bought it back when horses and fireworks were new iirc

[solid tapir]

damn

the game is worth a lot more than lunch money these days frfr

[lament crater]

alright lemme start a run

[solid tapir]

glgl

[vapid nest]

I should take Dna?

[silk tapir]

I personally don't play much anymore but my siblings make full use of the account lol
nowadays I can afford to buy 2 copies of Balatro, some merch etc
old Minecraft took me a month to save for since I didn't have much lunch money

[acoustic kettle]

I finally bought games

[silk tapir]

power of having a j*b

[acoustic kettle]

So real

[solid tapir]

understandable

[quartz ember]

rather cut your deck tbh

[solid tapir]

uni is doing the same to me

[acoustic kettle]

Also made money from the whole cs2 skin thing

[solid tapir]

no

[solid tapir]

a friend of mine lost $3m

usd

[vapid nest]

Ok ty

[silk tapir]

I personally would but I would only use it if I draw the Sealed Queens

[acoustic kettle]

[silk tapir]

it's a free slot anyways

[vapid nest]

Free slot?

[cursive lion]

who should i get rid of

[silk tapir]

espcially to copy the Purple Gold Queen

[solid tapir]

this is something to considfer

more purple is more deck fixing

ultimately thinner deck

[vapid nest]

Im playing magician deck

[acoustic kettle]

Did you plant yet

[silk tapir]

oh wait I didn't notice Painted

[solid tapir]

halfsies

[silk tapir]

I'd replace the Duo for DNA to copy Purple for more deckfixing

[cursive lion]

the plant is coming

[acoustic kettle]

The comes for us all

[vapid nest]

Ty, i Will try

[cursive lion]

baron mime builds claim "i have my whole run ahead of me!" no. the plant is coming 😂😂😂😂

[quartz ember]

the workaround to plant:

[acoustic kettle]

[solid tapir]

this is the build around plant

[lament crater]

screw me sideways

[solid tapir]

hey wily is there

[acoustic kettle]

This is free win

[solid tapir]

she is on plasma

wily will help for a bit

[acoustic kettle]

That much xmult

Free win on any deck

[solid tapir]

useless for early plasma

try to find a decent scaling chips joker yukie

or anything with foil
