[terse vale]

wow

[white zodiac]

if you want to be specific about same round payout then you left out rebate and parking (specifically for early game :3

[terse vale]

what

wait how

[proper flame]

any other royal straight heads in chat (10-J-Q-K-A)

[lunar zealot]

I don't see how this is important to my point that satellite sucks ass

[alpine hollow]

Only for ante 1 small blind

[white zodiac]

my argument was second worst before you joined in

[proper flame]

Oh for sure. Even when I go into a run thinking I want to try something else, I restart if I can't get that ante 1

[white zodiac]

otherwise yeah

[lunar zealot]

Satellite is inherently worse than delgrat

[alpine hollow]

It does also work with a queen high straight

[lunar zealot]

because again it starts at 0 dollars

in an ideal world it starts at 1 dollar because you've used mercury

[alpine hollow]

Except by the time you get it, you probably have used a planet or two by then

[lunar zealot]

ah yes it starts at 2 dollars

[manic talon]

thats not even good

[lunar zealot]

It costs 6

[manic talon]

youre saying it like thats much better

[lunar zealot]

and spamming random planets for specifically satellite value isn't nearly as good of an investment as making 9s for cloud 9 value or Playing the Game for rocket value

Because again satellite starts at 0 dollars

[alpine hollow]

I will concede that cloud 9 and rocket are inherently better, but satellite is a solid third

[manic talon]

crazy that rocket starts at 1 but satellite starts at 0

[lunar zealot]

Still no

[white zodiac]

not really how you should look at satellite but yeah sure

rocket starts at 1 dollars damn rocket stinks

[alpine hollow]

High priestess

[lunar zealot]

like satellite has heavy heavy flaws

like the fact that it starts at 0 dollars

[alpine hollow]

That’s not a flaw

[lunar zealot]

inherently yes

[alpine hollow]

Many things start at 0

[lunar zealot]

When are you ever using mars or uranus in a normal run

80% of runs your planet investments are mercury

saturn

[white zodiac]

are you realistically going to pick up satellite at frequent points in the game where it starts at zero and at the time you would have used planets already (something you already do)

[tranquil cargo]

uranus is great, idk what you're talking about

[lunar zealot]

and very sometimes pluto and jupiter

[lunar zealot]

The only reason to play two pairs is to scale pants and for that reason uranus has antisynergy

[white zodiac]

black/plasma/painted/erractic deck streaking

[alpine hollow]

I’m not a pair player though

[white zodiac]

i’m a mix of 2oak/2 2oak player currently on black atm

[lunar zealot]

black - play pairs
plasma - play pairs
painted - play straights

[alpine hollow]

2pair has the highest chip-to-mult ratio of the basic hands

Hence it is best for plasma

[white zodiac]

having a restrictive play-style is destined for a lower probability of success

yeah

[alpine hollow]

I stand by that argument

[lunar zealot]

you say restrictive when c++ would take significantly longer time if pairs weren't a viable hand

let alone winstreaks

[alpine hollow]

I don’t give a heck about winstreaks

[lunar zealot]

pairs are consistent, not restrictive

if anything they let you open up more options

[lunar zealot]

Lol i wasn't the one who first brought it up but ok

[white zodiac]

my 4 win streak on plasma was all 2 2oak purely from a bullshit standpoint that i have a harder time to pivot between the limited amount of shop options to switch my point sinks

[signal frigate]

It snowballs pretty quick

That's why I like it alot

[lunar zealot]

also rocket literally requires nothing from you

[signal frigate]

The benefit you get from it later is huge

[lunar zealot]

all you need is to play the game

[alpine hollow]

It was a sarcastic argument, I think

[signal frigate]

I know

[white zodiac]

buying rocket

[signal frigate]

Rocket and Rebate clashes with being the best econ jokers imo lol

[lunar zealot]

rebate midas mask actually

[signal frigate]

Both don't require too much to give you money

[white zodiac]

well no

[lunar zealot]

rocket is insanely good but its biggest weakness is you can't take it late

[white zodiac]

rebate blows every other econ out of the water

[signal frigate]

Actually you right

[white zodiac]

rocket takes a few rounds to meet equal cash payout

[signal frigate]

But rocket does come really close, I'd say the same for Midas too

[white zodiac]

midas is second in line

[lunar zealot]

It should be rebate > midas >= rocket

it depends on circumstance

[alpine hollow]

Midas removes any glass/lucky/etc from face cards though

[signal frigate]

Midas and Rocket is closer than Rocket and Rebate

[lunar zealot]

then just put them on numbered cards

[white zodiac]

you don’t put other enhancements on face cards

[signal frigate]

That don't matter much, just use it on numbered ranks

[lunar zealot]

golds can make many enhancements because money can be exchanged for goods and services

[white zodiac]

they’re prone to more boss blinds anyways so you naturally enhance everything else in association with what jokers are available

[lunar zealot]

You naturally dupe 2s and 9s anyway

[white zodiac]

stm/8balls/wee/todd/fib

[alpine hollow]

Dupe 2s?

[lunar zealot]

wee and fibo value

[alpine hollow]

That only good if you a wee joker, which is a rare

[white zodiac]

i dupe aces as a stm rtb head for stimulation

[lunar zealot]

I mean you don't not take wee when it's available

[alpine hollow]

I also dupe aces for 5oak value

[lunar zealot]

better to play towards it just on case

[signal frigate]

You can also utilize Pareidolia for Midas

[lunar zealot]

Same with obelisk

pair runs naturally segue towards obelisk

[signal frigate]

Even more gold

[lunar zealot]

so why not play towards it just in case you do get it

It doesn't hurt you if you don't get it and you win if you do

[alpine hollow]

The same argument could be made for Canio

Or many other jokers

[lunar zealot]

Exactly

if you have the resources buy wasteful voucher if it doesn't interfere with your build too much

in case you get purple seals or yorick or rebate or faceless

[alpine hollow]

I do

[white zodiac]

you get into the habit of making more black suits for example while also putting held in hand enhancements and seals on it too

[alpine hollow]

Is that for chalkboard?

[lunar zealot]

Yep

X3 mult for free is just uncommon cavendish

and that it's uncommon also gives it bbc value

[alpine hollow]

Chalkboard fails if you have a stone In hand, right?

[lunar zealot]

With pairs you can almost always proc it

[white zodiac]

speculative 4.5x

[viral totem]

YESSS I finally got the seltzer/hiker combo

[lunar zealot]

Better than speculative dice lol

[proven gulch]

best scaling mult joker

[lunar zealot]

Hooooly

[alpine hollow]

Holy heck

[white zodiac]

dice will be nothing more than speculative econ for me

[lunar zealot]

like some jokers are so good you naturally want to play towards them just for the chance of getting them

But on the other hand some jokers aren't worth building towards

like do you REALLY want to make lots of hearts for bloodstone value

be so for real

[proven gulch]

yes, learned it the hard way today

[white zodiac]

i dupe ranks for common jokers a lot more than i think i should

[alpine hollow]

Thats a shame

[white zodiac]

except for aces with rtb that just makes sense

[proven gulch]

my phone is grayscale so i thought it was error on my part and didn't realize 😭

wrong reply

[alpine hollow]

Bloodstone is awful though

[white zodiac]

exactly

[lunar zealot]

Exactly

[proven gulch]

i build towards trading card by having cards in my deck

[alpine hollow]

But rng is a fickle thing, and I don’t put much trust into it

[lunar zealot]

Neither do we

we just do it anyway because it doesn't hurt

Making spades and clubs for blackboard isn't guaranteed but it doesn't hurt

[white zodiac]

i’m just minimizing the risk of building towards something that might not even happen

yeah i’ll still build towards it even if i’ve already seen the red suit boss blinds

with a few case exceptions

[viral totem]

Card

[lunar zealot]

And yeah biases can occur

[alpine hollow]

I can tell

[lunar zealot]

I myself disproportionately favor uncommons because my favorite joker is baseball card

[white zodiac]

my bias lean towards 2 pair and specific rank builds since i’ve been playing a lot of the harder decks

[alpine hollow]

My biases lean towards flodding my deck with stones

[white zodiac]

and well

streaking

[lunar zealot]

Not a bad bias mind you

[white zodiac]

oh joy

[lunar zealot]

only really bad if you're specifically flooding via marble joker

[alpine hollow]

As in, winstreaks?

[lunar zealot]

and even then that's good hologram value

[white zodiac]

yeah i understand kami’s point completely

[alpine hollow]

Thats the best bit though

[lunar zealot]

It's good for pairs

[white zodiac]

she just says bbc all the time so i’m gravitated to disagree with her on instinct when i stub my toe or something

[lunar zealot]

LMAOOOO

hey man everyone here says bbc

It's just our thing

[white zodiac]

it’s

just when you’re here

[lunar zealot]

hell naw

look up bbc on #🕹・game-discussion

[white zodiac]

i go feral

when you react to it

[lunar zealot]

Yeah cuz i love bbc

[echo tartan]

british broadcasting corporation?

[lunar zealot]

Baseball card

[white zodiac]

[alpine hollow]

I must admit that I do tend to disagree with you on instinct, due to the obelisk/pair disagreement , and for that I apologise

[lunar zealot]

I have very polarizing opinions i get it

[white zodiac]

bbc was my first rare joker sticker on the black deck profile :3

[lunar zealot]

You wanna hear my hottest take

photochad fucking sucks

[white zodiac]

true

[lunar zealot]

I will not elaborate

[alpine hollow]

I 100% agree on that take

[white zodiac]

make them uncommon

[proven gulch]

What are the best jokers of every rarity in your opinions (gold stake)

[white zodiac]

uh

[lunar zealot]

rebate blackboard blueprint

[alpine hollow]

Hanging Chad is fun though

[white zodiac]

rebate/blackboard/bp

yeah

[alpine hollow]

[alpine hollow]

Nvm I’m dumb

[echo tartan]

5 grams what?

[white zodiac]

favorites i’ll prob go with stm/glass/campfire/canio

[vapid nest]

Could be any other thing

[white zodiac]

[proven gulch]

oh i like canio actually

[alpine hollow]

Weed joker lore

[proven gulch]

hanged man is so satisfying

[jaunty breach]

hi

[lunar zealot]

anyway my wife is calling me goodbye chat

[alpine hollow]

Farewell

[short rover]

hello 🙂

[ebon helm]

so now I spam pairs, right

[jaunty breach]

is there a mod that adds more challenges

[lunar zealot]

Try to win but use all 4 hands

[ebon helm]

gotchu, I'm starting with a flush

[short rover]

hello 🙂

[lunar zealot]

Spam pairs if and only if you have a scoring joker which you don't

[ebon helm]

it gave me a judgement into bloodstone

[white zodiac]

discard for a 5 card hand and then play throwaways until the last hand

[ebon helm]

LOL

[lunar zealot]

so be careful

[ebon helm]

okie

gg next run pls

[valid abyss]

bloodstone reference

[lunar zealot]

Oh gg just try not to die to head or pillar

[tranquil cargo]

it's supposed to be possible to naneinf as early as ante 25 against serpent, right? the amount here just seems too low

(only the rightmost king is non-red seal)

[lunar zealot]

Check balacalc

[valid abyss]

turn it into one

with the death

[short rover]

how i take screenshot?

in widows 11

[valid abyss]

printscreen

[short rover]

dont work

🙁

[valid abyss]

big glowing flaming waving button on your keyboard

[jaunty breach]

do you have 215 kings in the deck????

[ebon helm]

there should be a "PrtSc" button on your keyboard

[valid abyss]

ok search up printscreen in settings

[lavish gazelle]

Snipping tool or something

[valid abyss]

theres a setting for it

and turn it on

[tranquil cargo]

203 kings

problem is serpent seems too weak to let me draw enough

[short rover]

its activated ¿where i see the screenshot

[ebon helm]

Chat is this synergy

[echo tartan]

perhaps

antisynergy with castle though

[valid abyss]

it should be copied to your clipboard

just ctrl v wherever you wanna send it

[ebon helm]

damn and it's such a good joker too

:^^^^)

sorry guys tarrifs

final offer

[ivory mason]

nooooo

[short rover]

should skip

or no_

?

[valid abyss]

no

[short rover]

it guive u an olographic

[valid abyss]

polychrome* and its almost never worth it

the joker will end up being sold and you'll miss a shop turn

x1.5 mult will not help early on

[round fox]

What should I get rid of (if any) for negative sixth sense?

[valid abyss]

do you need to get rid of anything

its negative

am i crazy i dont know if buying negative needs a slot

[round fox]

Buying negatives needs a slot

[valid abyss]

dam

[round fox]

very sad

[valid abyss]

i think hallucination

[round fox]

Also, should I move a blueprint over to blood stone or no?

[valid abyss]

yes

if you're playing hearts everytime

[round fox]

I’m going for a mainly hearts run yeah

[valid abyss]

then yes

mr raised fist isnt doing very much to the score

[round fox]

I don’t have any +mult jokers tho that’s it

Other than my mult cards

[brisk crown]

Negative doesn’t need a slot, it makes one when added

[round fox]

It does???

omfg it does

[valid abyss]

apparently if your joker slots are all full you need a slot to buy negative

[round fox]

no he’s right

[valid abyss]

which i thought i knew but i forgor

WHAT

see i knew i was awesome and right

[round fox]

I thought u had to sell 😭 😭 😭

[valid abyss]

its NEGATIVe for a REASON

im going to kill you with hammers

[round fox]

well ig hallucination gets to live to see another day

[valid abyss]

hallucinations arent real they cant live

wake up

[round fox]

Hallucination + the double dice + two blueprints would be really good since it’d give 3 tarot cards garaunteed per booster pack

Only probably is getting that third slot

[valid abyss]

make sure to put blueprints on sixth when you play a six

i always forget to manage my jokers

[round fox]

same

I always forget to play a six lol

one time i had sixth sense and forgot for like 7 rounds

[valid abyss]

i hate when i always debate whether to sell a joker for another one then completely forget to use the one i got and then lose because the joker i sold was very very useful to my score

[lyric shore]

it isnt copyable

[valid abyss]

this is a LIE

how DARE you

[short rover]

what u think

[valid abyss]

take the arcana and perhaps the egg

[short rover]

thank u

[round fox]

aw man

[short rover]

YEAAA BABYYYYYY

[short rover]

I LOVE U ICE

[valid abyss]

lies and deceit

photoshop

[valid abyss]

oh i meant take the

booster pack

arcana pack

high priestess is gay if you dont have a constellation

[lyric shore]

we buyin out the shop with no money

[short rover]

XD

[valid abyss]

not my fault he bought the High Priestess™

[round fox]

probably obvious but since im new ill share it anyway
I just found out that if u sort by suit on the ones where 1/7 cards are flipped, then sometimes there'll be a card on the side of the same suit as the card on the other side, so u can get easy flushes

[valid abyss]

we know but

good on you for figuring it out

[round fox]

i won :D

[valid abyss]

i mean at least i know im not sure everyone else does

[valid abyss]

Insert celebration gif

[round fox]

is it reliable to risk it for the biscuit on that spectral card where it changes all cards in hand to one suit

im kinda scared to use it cause itll either make all my cards hearts (good) or make all them some random suit (bad)

[lyric shore]

usually it isnt a risk cuz you wont lose much

[lyric shore]

why are hearts good and everything else bad

[hearty warren]

the $2 is prob more worth it

[round fox]

im trying to do an all hearts run to make for easier flushes

[hearty warren]

$3 for a single sun card and you have reliable hearts

[proven gulch]

x9.25 glass joker + bp + card sharp :p

[round fox]

fair enough

[novel moss]

Usually it's hearts cause of a potential bloodstone, even though it could not proc 4/5

[hearty warren]

bloodstone is a scam

[novel moss]

Just squeeze the stone harder for more blood.

[hearty warren]

sell the stone for more value over the course of the run

[jaunty breach]

guys i want a mod

[novel moss]

Just get lucky.

[jaunty breach]

a mod that adds good challenges

[short rover]

wow

[proven gulch]

[proven gulch]

i said gold stake #3 in the message

are we being intentionally dense or do you just really love semantics

[valid abyss]

okay?

[tranquil otter]

yo bro you know you dont gotta do gold stake if you wanna unlock the challenges right

[valid abyss]

Dear balatro community,

Thank you for your time

[shadow sundial]

yeah he dors whatever

but how does thag make ylu successful?

[quartz hinge]

buying riff raff might have been a mistake. I thought it was impossible for riff raff jokers to be eternal but that doesn't work on this challenge mode

[shadow sundial]

thay make stunt double more successful

[shadow sundial]

challenge mode say ermmm nuh uh

ypu gotta het good jonker next sgop ot you DIE

[nova mantle]

did this and i got them eternal plus a negative madness

[quartz hinge]

"can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time" type moment

[shadow sundial]

i mean

not the worst.jokers to get

[valid abyss]

eternal egg will never not be funny to me

[nova mantle]

i legit won that to be serious

[shadow sundial]

rebate is rcon and egg is temperance value

[quartz hinge]

worst part is that I would have exactly 1 single shop attempt to buy a joker that synergizes with egg

[nova mantle]

picked a negative tag and got this reserve parking which was wonders for my econ ❤️‍🩹

No way I can afford a rental constellation, huh?

[coral hill]

I FINALLY got to do a good obelisk run

Lives were saved

I loved this run bro, i got 45 mult on a fortune teller

[lunar zealot]

Obelisk and card sharp?

[coral hill]

is that a weird combo

[lunar zealot]

Kinda

[coral hill]

it werked for me

violet vessel made me more desperate for good x mult

[stark karma]

hey hey I don't wanna break the rules, can we talk about knockoffs in this server?

[white zodiac]

off topic

[white zodiac]

makes sense on black deck somewhat

[lunar zealot]

We used to talk about jokerpoker balala

[white zodiac]

and if you

[cloud wolf]

I love gambling

[white zodiac]

balala

[coral hill]

duo is the true mvp here

[ripe gull]

real kami

[misty flame]

i wonder if the update is still coming this year

[white zodiac]

he already said no

[misty flame]

oh wait when

[jaunty breach]

what a run

what do i do guys

[obsidian patrol]

https://localthunk.com/blog/im-slow

[misty flame]

i would get the first joker (im having a brainfart i forgot what its called)

[obsidian patrol]

id look for chips or plus mult in buffoon pack

[jaunty breach]

here's your buffoon pack

im gonna buy em both

and then crash my economics

huge

[pliant jewel]

eternal family is quite a commitment

[jaunty breach]

oh my god

this is the mandate of heaven

[silk tapir]

I got a big Jj

[obsidian patrol]

Why uh

[obsidian patrol]

Why didnt you take rebate

[jaunty breach]

omg i keep getting four of a kind at the last hand

[heavy bone]

Is this proper copying? Also, am I just cooked even if I do beat this ante? No blank or anti voucher...

i know its wraps

[viscid plaza]

Proper yes, but I believe if you do an extra Baron copy it will be slightly bigger (That's what Roffle does), but man no blank/antimatter sucks

[heavy bone]

yea its sad. this is the closest ive been to nan

[wintry river]

blue deck gold stake

[heavy bone]

getting Hieroglyph like 3 antes in a row is rough

ill try 3 on baron

[jovial stratus]

Is baron better than blood stone here? no, right?

[ocean yoke]

Show deck

[heavy bone]

[valid abyss]

who blued your balatro

[valid abyss]

do you have kings and levels in high card

if yes then baron

[valid abyss]

or just sell fortune teller

actually wait

yeah no sell bloodstone

[valid abyss]

or not

i dont know

yeah no dont sell bloodston

[wary tartan]

I need someone better then me lol to see if ante 13 is possible on this seed

[valid abyss]

find an oops instead

[valid abyss]

find a seed analyzer

[jovial stratus]

What is oops?

[wary tartan]

Where ?

[valid abyss]

https://spectralpack.github.io/TheSoul/

[wary tartan]

I'm on mobile

[valid abyss]

oops all sixes

doubles all listed probabilities

[jovial stratus]

oh

[valid abyss]

makes bloodstone always trigger

[jovial stratus]

oh shit, i never did that before 🙁

[wary tartan]

How do I see the seed of a run before winning?

Mobile

[vocal rose]

you don’t

[wary tartan]

O

[serene forge]

smartest r/balatro user

[vocal rose]

that’d be stupid if you can see it before winning

for a free win

[heavy bone]

[floral mural]

are they considering a baron run before ante 3 as well

[prime cosmos]

im still quite new and only had my first ante 8 success today. went to ante 11. - i had 12 jokers and kinda figured it out.

best tips for new players? obv go for +chips/+mult and xmult.
any specific jokers or tags to go for that give a nice boost?

[floral mural]

well tags are actually usually bad

[tranquil cargo]

generally avoid tags, skipping is rarely ever worth it

[floral mural]

skipping in general should be reserved to doing it rarely if at all

[ocean yoke]

Robber and rebate work well

[prime cosmos]

i like the +foil/holo or negative joker tags, but mostly i dont use them unless i use the "x multi" from skipping blind joker

[floral mural]

in general investment tag ante 1 is about all you should generally take for now

there is other ok tags but theyre far more situational and require a lot more thought

[north schooner]

Bean done! Showed up at my very last reroll and luckily had enough consumables to sell to afford it.

Three more to go...

[floral mural]

ancient joker enjoys skipping as well but its not for the tags. its to avoid suit debuff bosses

[floral mural]

those are the worst tags and literally never worth imo

[floral mural]

those effects can be good but not good enough to throw away a shop interest and whatever joker scaling or value you get from a round

[north schooner]

Sixth Sense
Idol
Perkeo

Maybe I should do a naneinf run? 😂

[abstract rivet]

I mean

Its okay in the first ante

If you are a filthy resetter and just want a good free joker asap

[floral mural]

its a bad habit to gamble on joker editions

even in ante 1 small blind

[abstract rivet]

I know its not optimal

Because of sticker

[floral mural]

like youd prefer more options in that case

[abstract rivet]

If its a bad sticker i just reset lmao

But obviously don't do this if you want to win streak

[floral mural]

its moreso i dont want a new player to become stuck in that skipping mindset

since thats a good way to lose

[abstract rivet]

Yeah

Sometimes i end up losing round 2/3

[floral mural]

if someone brings up anaglyph as a deck where you wanna skip a lot. no you actually skip like once or twice a run

[abstract rivet]

Cuz 600 points to score without any kind of helpful joker sucks

I hate the hook

And -1 hand size can be rough

Also funny how the forced to play 5 card hand basically invalidated half joker

[signal frigate]

You usually only need two good flushes to score 600

Or a good flush and a straight

[signal frigate]

The only bad sticker is perishable

Eternal doesn't matter if it's on a joker you never wanna sell

Rental is basically free with good enough econ

[signal frigate]

And to be fair, half joker's only thing is getting you out of Antes 2 to 3

[floral mural]

early rental is brutal

dont

lets not pretend rental isnt really bad early if you dont have a damn good reason

[signal frigate]

You wouldn't skip a really good joker even with rental in it, I would just play my rounds better and keep interest afloat

Though that's not the best way to go at it

[floral mural]

ante 1 rentals are basically untakeble tho

[signal frigate]

I did say with good enough econ

One econ joker, I'd say it's worth taking any Rental

[floral mural]

when do you have good econ on ante 1 is my question

[signal frigate]

Rebate

It's a common joker and immediately solves econ

[floral mural]

honestly im more worried about a new player throwing their shops away then tsking rentals when they reach gold stake and learning that lessons immediately

[signal frigate]

My issue is them resetting because of a sticker

[floral mural]

like skipping for editions is a trap thats seemingly not bad to fall into

[signal frigate]

They don't even bother playing the round

As if they're never gonna get a good joker later on

[floral mural]

i reset on ante 3 if a run is on fumes (i am aware almost every run is beatable. im not good enough to do that)

[signal frigate]

I'd rather lose than reset because there's always a chance you'll get out of seemingly an impossible situation

[floral mural]

i say that but i only reset when i see imminent death

so uhh

[signal frigate]

If it's guaranteed death, I do see it

[floral mural]

hook and mantle are like such brutal boss blinds sometimes

[signal frigate]

Hook is worse than mantle imo

[floral mural]

early plant does nothing to me but those two on like ante 2 when you cant draw well are awful

[unreal island]

throw it back

[signal frigate]

Hook punishes you for basically playing the game

[signal frigate]

Back into the fucking trash where it belongs

[unreal island]

breaking news: boss blind makes playing the game harder

[floral mural]

hook disables using hands as discards reliably which is uhh sure fun when youre using a set of joker early enough that want a big hand

[signal frigate]

Breaking news, this particular bossblind makes it feel worse

[floral mural]

or anything above a pair

[signal frigate]

It also screws with Groker and I love my green joker

[floral mural]

something can have counterplay but still be ass

[signal frigate]

I've complained about Hook more than any other early ante bosses

A suit bossblind at least guarantees you can use that suit for the rest of the game

[elfin pecan]

btw

is there a mod to replace the balatro texture with the stupid balala ai generated one as a joke

[signal frigate]

You can find one

I'm not sure, I don't really use texture packs

I already like the default Collab ones

[elfin pecan]

yeah like

the balatro jokers are really nice looking but

sometimes i wanna see a shitpost

[floral mural]

i use oneshot face cards and thats it for my texture stuff for balatro on pc

[signal frigate]

Yahimod is just one giant shitpost

[elfin pecan]

i don't want any content changes

i just wanna see a texture change shitpost

i mean if none exist i'll just

make one

redraw the ai "art" to make it somewhat look like it belongs in the game

[signal frigate]

The only one I'd consider is replacing Canio's art into Kanye West

[stark karma]

hey guys check out my totally awesome and legit Balatro run that I just had

[elfin pecan]

WHY IS THE FONT

[quartz steppe]

Seems legit

[stark karma]

they programmed it wrong and every time you rerolled in the shop you get +100 dollars -1 for every reroll

amazing stuff

death also doesnt work

blue seals are old

[quartz steppe]

I think I went too far with cryptid mod

[stark karma]

so much funky stuff

[elfin pecan]

what even is this

is this that like

one roblox balatro clone

[stark karma]

sorta

I don't want to say cuz I dont wanna get in trouble

[elfin pecan]

i mean like everyone here has

balatro

[stark karma]

I'm not sure if I can share stuff like that

[elfin pecan]

probably

idk

[stark karma]

well

[elfin pecan]

but again i guess it doesnt matter

balatro copy

[stark karma]

other game servers I'm in dont mess with people trying to pass around pirated or copied versions of the game

or even talk about it

[quartz steppe]

Then don’t say it

[stark karma]

mb lol

I didnt see nuthin in the rules abt it

[stark karma]

I was really wondering how I could naneinf on red deck without perkeo and then perkeo showed up

but I think lowk their math is wrong for scoring

feels like I should be scoring more

maybe not

[north schooner]

perishable is completely fine for ante 1

rental is death

[stark karma]

my plan was to cola farm with the nutty money and then just get the hand size vouch

aight sorry sorry

[signal frigate]

Just get good econ

[north schooner]

on ante 1, what??

"just get 2/150 jokers in the shop" is not a strategy

[signal frigate]

I'm not saying you should take it ante 1

[north schooner]

Dude was talking about taking a first round skip tag to get a joker

[signal frigate]

Taking a skip tag is worse

[north schooner]

and resetting if it had a bad tag. That was the context

I just cannot with discord

[terse gyro]

hologram is my goat, and with this run i got to 101 jokers out of 150 with the gold sticker

[elfin pecan]

i think the only skip tag worth taking is

investment tag

boss reroll can be maybe clutch but usually never does

[terse gyro]

Honestly, what i find really fun about the c++ grind is figuring out how to carry the dead weight jokers into the final round

[north schooner]

Ante 1, yes. Past that, probably not.

[floral mural]

sometimes the riff raff and buffoon pack tag if youre desperate ante 2 as well i suppose

[shell crest]

FINALLY, I FUCKING HATE PLASMA DECK BLACK STAKE FUCK YOU BALATRO

[floral mural]

d6 tag is probably good but the value loss of 2 packs probably doesn't outdo the rerolls

[acoustic kettle]

Plasma is so easy and fun and harmless

[north schooner]

I did just take an ante 6 orbital (pair) skip in my last winning run and I have no regrets.

[terse gyro]

on white stake yea

gold stake tho

[shell crest]

dude my luck has genuinely just been abysmal

[acoustic kettle]

I love plasma gs

[floral mural]

you only play plasma

[acoustic kettle]

[floral mural]

plasma to people who play every deck requires completely new gameplan

[terse gyro]

shout out to the runner when it comes to plasma deck runs

[floral mural]

(im a plasma hater btw)

its not fun for me

[acoustic kettle]

I mean the game plan is mostly the same

I do the same things i do for plasma in ghost and it works

[north schooner]

can you still go jokerless for 2 antes on gold stake plasma?

[acoustic kettle]

Not if i hit wall

[north schooner]

ok but otherwise

obviously if the boss blind is double what it is normally, you're going to have to compensate

[acoustic kettle]

Mostly i take a joker in ante 2 though

Because i am over interest cap by then usually

[eager lynx]

which one?

[floral mural]

medium

[north schooner]

Hex or wraith

😂

[floral mural]

eternal photo is certainly a choice

[north schooner]

how often do you have a good opportunity for wraith, tho?

[lavish gazelle]

Wraith gamble

[floral mural]

yeah i suppose

the safest play here is medium tho

[lavish gazelle]

Vagabond would go hard

[north schooner]

It's not bad, for sure

hex makes a lone photograph slightly more survivable

[floral mural]

eternal photo always rubs me the wrong way because its not good scoring early and youre waiting for 2 specific jokers to combo with it

eternal chad is like not really a big gamble usually at all because you need one thing to combo with it

of many

[north schooner]

Straight with a face card tho

or flush I guess but that's worse

[lavish gazelle]

That's a x2 on nothing

[north schooner]

I agree Chad is 100% better

[floral mural]

early lone photo is not a good idea is all im saying

[lavish gazelle]

It being eternal would be a skip

Imo

[acoustic kettle]

Eternal chad is such a chad

You might say he's

Eternal

[valid abyss]

i love planet merchant and constellation

synergy of a lifetime

[lavish gazelle]

Just how far can the planet jokers go

[valid abyss]

i got one to like x6 once

having like every other shop include celestial packs certainly helped

[floral mural]

its just the question of how far does constellation scaling get you if you have astronomer and planet tycoon

in endless

[narrow wadi]

one of my weirdest builds ngl

was a pair build

[lavish gazelle]

Can't forget satellite

[floral mural]

thats like 2 or 3 extra rerolls every round

lets also assume reroll vouchers why not

[acoustic kettle]

Imagine there is a deck that replaces ll planets with black holes

[shell crest]

then it isnt a good deck is it

[narrow wadi]

stone, marble, hologram is kinda a crazy build ngl- other than hologram i barely ever pick the jokers up

[floral mural]

thatd be op

[acoustic kettle]

It is

[shell crest]

its too op

[half nexus]

after SIX MONTHS of attempts and 389.6h on record, i got my first unseeded no-legendaries naneinf!

[shell crest]

fucking hell mate

GG

[north schooner]

nah this makes total sense

[floral mural]

a deck that gets no planet cards apart from a once per ante black hole might be fun

[acoustic kettle]

Five card pair

[valid abyss]

i had no idea that synergy even existed thats awesome

[narrow wadi]

same probably cos marble and stone joker are generally so awful that i just skip them lol

[valid abyss]

i havent even unlocked stone joker

[floral mural]

marbles aight in high card builds

[valid abyss]

i only have marble because i just wanted to unlock it

sold it immediately after

[floral mural]

ive taken persepective marbles a bit

[half nexus]

it was my last unlock lol i got it like this week

400 hours of playing and never picked it up until now LOL

[shell crest]

ive never seen anyone use stone or glass joker tbf

[narrow wadi]

in high card it's like ok at best, it's still bloating the deck and high card builds are very unreliable at high stake

[acoustic kettle]

Glass joker is amazig

[north schooner]

Glass joker is amazing

jinx

[valid abyss]

they said amazig

so

nuh uh

[floral mural]

kind of wrong. theyre basically worse pairs. and pairs are the most reliable hand

gold stakes most reliable strat is pair spam

[shell crest]

dude i dont have brainstorm unlocked 😭

i dont have much playtime in balatro but COME ON MAN

[valid abyss]

i fucking hate smart and intellectual conversation about synergies and strategies in balatro

can we talk about osmething funny

[narrow wadi]

even with a 69 card deck full of stone i just did pairs, it's still easy to find, for gold stake i've done high card like 3 maybe 4 times

[valid abyss]

like wee joker

[acoustic kettle]

Hc photochad

[north schooner]

glass joker is great because you just play all your glass cards and the worst thing that happens is you get x2 per card and if they don't break you get to play them again.

[floral mural]

glass joker doesnt need to be actively scaled too you just get like 3 breaks and that can be it

[north schooner]

glass joker sucks because it makes all your glass cards unbreakable

[floral mural]

3.25x

[narrow wadi]

i just realised this might be my first run over white stake with 0 flushes played lol

[north schooner]

Glass joker is basically a x10 better Vampire

[narrow wadi]

vampire is only remotely usable with midas mask and even then idt it's that good

[exotic turtle]

I am devastated 😭

[north schooner]

Isn't there a thing for that?

[floral mural]

vampires ok

[valid abyss]

another run dies to the plant

[floral mural]

its not that reliant on midas

[narrow wadi]

nope, and it wasn't by choice- i just got a full house first blind without discards, then got a 3 of a kind as my only scoring joker

[floral mural]

vampires demand for scaling is simple enough that using it isnt bad

[north schooner]

Nah, vampire's fine. It's like constellation but for tarots

[exotic turtle]

I would have beat it too, I discarded the wrong card and it ruined everything

[hardy fable]

nah vampire sucks

[valid abyss]

top 10 saddest

anyways

new run

[north schooner]

Except constellation is better because you still get the benefit of the planets

[floral mural]

vampires a c tier xmult scaler. its still an xmult scaler tho

[north schooner]

It's not great, but it's fine

[narrow wadi]

i can see maybe vagabond vampire being ok, but even then u kinda want ur upgraded cards- having a justice on final boss makes it free most of the time

[floral mural]

throwback is an f tier xmult scaler however and i will never use it in a genuine run

[hardy fable]

but it sucks.....

[north schooner]

Which makes it at least a b tier joker

[floral mural]

you have to be awful as xmult to be genuinely unusable

[lavish gazelle]

Oops all 6s and Glass Joker goes hard

[floral mural]

on that note hi baron and throwback

[north schooner]

It's fun when it works which is almost never

[narrow wadi]

i kinda see this tbh, when i say it sucks it's more that i never want to see it in the shop- i have taken it a few times when i couldn't find anything else

[hardy fable]

anyways hope yall understand the joke

[north schooner]

2x whoosh

[rustic comet]

should we clap

[valid abyss]

dont worry im the funniest man ever and i recognize this joke as funny

[narrow wadi]

if only i was playing plasma deck lol

[valid abyss]

my god

who said wee scaling is good

look at stone joker guys

[acoustic kettle]

Smh my head

[north schooner]

nah wee still beats stone

[acoustic kettle]

Hiker is better

[valid abyss]

smh my head

ice cream is obviously better

[narrow wadi]

stone is one of the worst chip scaling jokers lol, this was the weird situation of having a full stone synergy in ante 1

picked up marble with 2 stones from tarots

[valid abyss]

love how many people dont see the sarcasm

obviously my wee can get a lot bigger than that

[narrow wadi]

fr

also wee joker doesn't make ur deck half stone cards

[valid abyss]

i HATE stone cards

with a PASSION

because i LOVE flush builds

with a PASSION

[formal abyss]

fr...

[lunar zealot]

Meow meow meow meow

Meow meow meow

Meow meow meow

[narrow wadi]

my deck was a little bloated

[valid abyss]

A tiny bit

[narrow wadi]

why so few clubs and diamonds stones tho?

that's weird

[valid abyss]

obviously fixable with 40 hung men

[narrow wadi]

the funny thing is i got a ton of hung men this run

[north schooner]

checkered deck

[narrow wadi]

near the end i used them on stone

[valid abyss]

bbbbut stone joker

[acoustic kettle]

I love when my men are hung

[narrow wadi]

lol, if i was playing completely optimally i would've sold marble joker once stone got to like 350 chips, but i didn't need to and it was a funny build

hologram was already at like x6 and i was always gonna win

[civic moth]

Does invis copy perishable

[narrow wadi]

i think so

it says removes negative

nothing else

honestly i'm not too sure tho

i think i remember it copying eternal once

[civic moth]

Yeah because stickers don't exist in every stake

[acoustic kettle]

It does copy eternal

Never tried perishble

[civic moth]

Could try it for science

[acoustic kettle]

I think it will

[civic moth]

If it copies perishable, does it also copy the amount of games to perish or start at 0 🤔

[floral mural]

the only thing it doesnt copy is negative or the round counter of another invisible joker

[narrow wadi]

I’m like 90% sure it copies perishable, and like 70% sure it would copy the games to perish

[civic moth]

Copies everything

Perish

Rental

Games to die

Anyway starting a new gold steak run

[proper flame]

The dastardly abandoned deck paradeolia-midas mask-vampire build of doom and despair

[floral mural]

wrong midas mask vampire order now you dont get gold cards permanently

[civic moth]

This is like that scene in Zoolander with the celebrities giving each other the stink eye

[floral mural]

trust me losing that bit of vampire scaling id worth it for gold cards

[proper flame]

i dont want them. They're of the devil

[civic moth]

He's not wrong

[floral mural]

theyre good cash

like gold cards are busted
