[plucky agate]

Yeah

[pale grotto]

I didnt touch plasma deck yet srry

[plucky agate]

It's 4x larger

[left vigil]

I'm playing orange stake because I want a little challenge but rentals piss me off

[stiff fjord]

doesn't the buffoon pack always show up on the first shop you visit and not just after round 1

[plucky agate]

That's so fucking valid holy shit

[proven gulch]

really? i hardly ever skip ante 1 anyway so i wouldn't know

[white zodiac]

first shop regardless of skips

[proven gulch]

extra money to get it and time to build up interest is valuable though

[plucky agate]

Interesting I didn't actually know that either

[stiff fjord]

yeah i figured

[coral summit]

But, and hear me out here

If I get something godlike I can win ezpz

[white zodiac]

well he was wrong so

[pale grotto]

-# alolaaaa

[plucky agate]

There's no rare that can realistically give U a free win

[stiff fjord]

i always skip small & big blind when i see the pillar so that's how i knew

[proven gulch]

vagabond comes close

Actually AJ does that

[plucky agate]

Free deck fixing my beloved

[pale grotto]

Obe?

[proven gulch]

ante 1 does nothing

[white zodiac]

campfire

[plucky agate]

AJ?

[proven gulch]

ancient jonkler

[white zodiac]

too many boss blind risks

[pale grotto]

Economy killer

[plucky agate]

OH yeah

[stiff fjord]

[proven gulch]

[plucky agate]

Obsessed with ancient jonk

[random ice]

Look at this beauty

[pale grotto]

Htr?

[plucky agate]

He's my fav guy

[proven gulch]

photo + fib, synergy

[white zodiac]

needle/flint/mouth/serpent

[pale grotto]

Where is my photochad T-T
I want them tooooo

[proven gulch]

serpent is usually fine, just costs a little money

[pale grotto]

Serpent is like the best Boss right?

[strange canyon]

Im not making it past this ante, do i take?

[proven gulch]

needle is true though but you can get through it with a little luck

[proven gulch]

hell yeah bye bye trib hello chicot

[plucky agate]

My toxic trait is that I will always try to do an ancient joker build if I get it early enough

I love him

[strange canyon]

Alr

[proven gulch]

trib's the best joker possible though so

[white zodiac]

serpent halves your card digging power and in ajs case your suit digging

[acoustic kettle]

Obelisk is free win

[stiff fjord]

this is me but with runner

[strange canyon]

It was rick

[plucky agate]

Just deck fix 4head

[strange canyon]

I wasnt making it anyways, i hit e18 i need min e21

[proven gulch]

temperanc value

[plucky agate]

Rick: yo!

[proven gulch]

gg

[coral summit]

THE RARE IS BARON

YESSSSSSS

[pale grotto]

The thing with obe is that i need to farm other hand to then play with another and i dont know how to pivot

[proven gulch]

lock in worst joker in the game

[plucky agate]

You shall perish

[coral summit]

Mind you, Baron is what got me THIS

[plucky agate]

Baron got me this

[random ice]

God what a perfect run

[pale grotto]

Mime is what got you there

[cloud wolf]

I smell ......plant

[plucky agate]

But I still think it's not good for average runs

[strange canyon]

WAIT MY GAME RELOADED WHEN I CAME TO TALK HERE AND I HAVE TRIB BACK

What

[random ice]

I almost always take Troubadour with Ancient

[plucky agate]

True actually

[pale grotto]

Hii

[strange canyon]

Accidental save scum

[pale grotto]

The humble plant is near

[strange canyon]

If i glass i might make it

[proven gulch]

Did you know if you sell both tribs you get a different legendary 🤫

from cryptid mod 🤫

[coral summit]

Shop also has eternal cloud 9

Gross

[acoustic kettle]

Cloud 9 is like better golden joker

[plucky agate]

Best econ joker

[white zodiac]

now if this was gold stake...

[stiff fjord]

cloud 9 is fine

[acoustic kettle]

Better sattelite

[pale grotto]

Time to farm those nines

[white zodiac]

amazing*

[plucky agate]

Golden joker is a better satellite most of the time

[acoustic kettle]

Cloud 9 better than both

[coral summit]

I mean sure cloud 9 gives money but where’s the mult

[strange canyon]

Runs dead

[white zodiac]

c9 is a better satellite

[strange canyon]

o7

[coral summit]

c9 also removes the utility and value baron has

[pale grotto]

I never found a good satellite when i found him sat always have like 2$ or less

[strange canyon]

On to orange stake

[white zodiac]

as if baron has a place in the higher stakes

[acoustic kettle]

Best rare is clearly obelisk

[plucky agate]

It's clearly the tribe

[proven gulch]

yoooooo holy luck

[pale grotto]

Best rare is obviusly the order

[coral summit]

My last game got me proccing dozens of steel kings multiple times due to blueprint I don’t wanna HEAR it

[pale grotto]

You are studying while playing?

[white zodiac]

mm scoring wise I'll say campfire is higher on the list slightly with black deck bias

[heady narwhal]

mr bones might be the best joker in the game, and HERE's why:

[acoustic kettle]

Obby and campfire is such free wins

[stiff fjord]

i didn't get how to use obelisk until i actually tried to use it and it single-handedly won me two runs

[coral summit]

Decent chips or shitty chips

[stiff fjord]

blue

[heady narwhal]

why do you have baron

[proven gulch]

blue

[acoustic kettle]

Banner is great

[proven gulch]

poor skippage decisions

[white zodiac]

butttt....

[coral summit]

It was free

[strange canyon]

Fuck it

[coral summit]

And it handed me my last win

[heady narwhal]

why did you take a skip tag

[pale grotto]

I used obe 1 time and he won me the Orange stake Magic deck

[coral summit]

Because it was ante 1 round 1

[pale grotto]

Love that guy

[plucky agate]

I never know when to pivot into obelisk

[acoustic kettle]

Baron is not that good

Esp ante 8 runs

[coral summit]

It got me to ante 13 LMAO

[plucky agate]

It got me to ante 26

[white zodiac]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[white zodiac]

it got me to red stake

[pale grotto]

I pivoted from level 9 pairs with 17 played pairs to a level 4 hc with 1 played high card and i was flying

In ante 5 i think

[acoustic kettle]

Yeah you only need 14 to fully set up obby

[coral summit]

What’s the play

[torn drift]

hear me

[stiff fjord]

obby licks

[torn drift]

we need a montecarlo simulator app for balatro

so we can win

[white zodiac]

it depends

[proven gulch]

next

[torn drift]

like an extension

[white zodiac]

die

[acoustic kettle]

Press r

[strange canyon]

I take red card right?

[acoustic kettle]

And reset

All eternals with campfire

[sly coral]

r

[acoustic kettle]

Seems like a good idea isn't it

[strange canyon]

Its working out

[proven gulch]

orange stake campfire :(

[sly coral]

campfire is always good

[white zodiac]

two money hungry jokers with no money

[strange canyon]

Its working

[coral summit]

Hrmmmmm

[proven gulch]

just play gold stake and you can get extra value :)

[proven gulch]

Spectral

[coral summit]

The spectral is calling to me

[acoustic kettle]

Gold stake makes campfire better

[coral summit]

Holy crap! Two Barons!

[proven gulch]

NO

two blues

[coral summit]

Yucky

[acoustic kettle]

And die next round

[strange canyon]

Campfire fueled by straights

[coral summit]

Sold baron :(

[stiff fjord]

two blues will give more consistent scoring than two barons

[white zodiac]

I'm not attending the funeral

[coral summit]

Do I do the planet pack

I don’t even know what hand to go for

[white zodiac]

straights

for when you have zero direction

[coral summit]

Two pair and full house are my most played

[proven gulch]

send the planet pack

[coral summit]

Got straight up

Do I get $4 in interest or do I shoot for a reroll

[cold finch]

does 8 ball activate like, ever 😭

[stiff fjord]

save for interest, find a +mult joker next shop

[proven gulch]

interestante

[white zodiac]

yeah

[coral summit]

Yooooo fortune teller

[white zodiac]

they did a good service

mm

[proven gulch]

how high is it

[sly coral]

golden or hallucination🤔

[coral summit]

[white zodiac]

misprint

[white zodiac]

golden first

[proven gulch]

misprint spectral and wait for better scaling

[proven gulch]

hallucination

you have 1 econ piece

[sly coral]

right

[strange canyon]

Got tbe money

[white zodiac]

hallucination if you're keeping egg long term

[proven gulch]

blueprint if you reroll down to 10

[coral summit]

Which card should I give a gold seal to

[white zodiac]

temp hit

[proven gulch]

jack

[white zodiac]

usually low/red ranks before you put stone on them

[unreal iron]

jacks

[strange canyon]

Cart is actually good here

[balmy ridge]

having to skip this hurts my soul a little

[unreal iron]

holy win???

[white zodiac]

high ranks otherwise for pseudo discarding

[strange canyon]

Feeds the fire

[proven gulch]

holy

cart is always good

[strange canyon]

Its esp good here

[proven gulch]

remember not to get the fifth joker for leaf

[coral summit]

Order find

[acoustic kettle]

Who needs card scoring on verdant leaf

[proven gulch]

cool take it

[white zodiac]

awooga

[proven gulch]

open a celestial for saturn

[acoustic kettle]

Matador

[white zodiac]

now find a better mult joker lol

[acoustic kettle]

Take the matador

[proven gulch]

😭

[coral summit]

If I open another celestial I still have enough to get $4 interest

Is that worth it?

[acoustic kettle]

Not ideal for campfire

[unreal iron]

any ph*tochad run

[dry ether]

negative mr bones

[strange canyon]

I get two tarots per round

[unreal iron]

any run that relies on retriggers for scoring

[proven gulch]

yeah it's okay, $5 saturn is definitely worth it and $5 something else is alright

[coral summit]

Earth Neptune or Uranus

[proven gulch]

im gonna go now bye

[coral summit]

Oh

[proven gulch]

heh.. uranus..

[coral summit]

Heh..

[red thistle]

They hate anything green.

[proven gulch]

fr tho take uranus

[coral summit]

Well none of these boost straights very much. Uranus it is

[unreal iron]

what does this mean chat

nat negative credit card from ante 1 saved me from verdant leaf once :3

[red thistle]

Put 2 and 2 together, green = plants. Like verdant leaf and the plant.

[proven gulch]

judgement op i won :)

[unreal iron]

plant isnt even a counter to photochad just use glass 10s or something

[coral summit]

Jesus this run REALLY wants me to take fortune teller

Hm!

Now, do I skip for 3 mega arcana packs or is that still not a good investment

What is a good enough investment

[white zodiac]

money or specific orbital tags

preferably more than 25

[sly coral]

my only hope against violet vessel

[coral summit]

Sixth sense

Yay or nay

[strange canyon]

i take anti right

[strange canyon]

probably

[vestal fern]

"man i want onscored mult and i dislike face cards!" the rather exotic Fibonacci:

[white zodiac]

preferably not in a straight run, pairs are fine

[strange canyon]

dammit the run died

so close to the end

I couldnt find a straight

wouldve been so nice

[coral summit]

How do I make straights easier to find? Is there a tarot that makes it easier?

[white zodiac]

hanged man

[strange canyon]

just cut down

[white zodiac]

have a pyramidal rank distribution

[coral summit]

Fair

Reduce small cards

[white zodiac]

shortcut

[white zodiac]

cut the end ranks*

slightly inflate the middle ranks

[strange canyon]

i cvoudlve gotten an eternal 4 fingers but

[white zodiac]

have a smaller deck size overall

[strange canyon]

that wouldve meant no 5th slot

[white zodiac]

as if straight builds need all of their slots

[strange canyon]

no i mean joker slot

with that build

[sly coral]

7 streak rn i need to win on the other 8 deck wout losing

[white zodiac]

exactly

[cold finch]

Dagger or voucher...

[white zodiac]

gl

[silk hound]

Which do I take?

[strange canyon]

it was more of a madness build than a straight build but yeah

[sly coral]

ty

[white zodiac]

ride the bussy

[strange canyon]

alr

[white zodiac]

burnt for 2oak lvls

[silk hound]

Bet

[pale grotto]

Hanged is my beloved i couldnt choose anything else :(
But bus is the optimal decision there

[coral summit]

THREE FREE NEGATIVE JOKERS

[strange canyon]

the perishable dna

its bait

i cant take it

[coral summit]

Sorry, four

[white zodiac]

idol shitman and seance

[strange canyon]

i will however take the spectral

[coral summit]

Four free negative jokers

[pale grotto]

I also love the 2oak instead of pairs

[coral summit]

…fuck it

[pale grotto]

It was a good espectral pack?

[sly coral]

i really dont want to lose my streak to bloodstone but idk should i?

[white zodiac]

if u wanna die/waste 7 bucks

[sleek valley]

i made bread

[nova junco]

Streak? Nah don't

But if I was playing casually I'd absolutely take it

[sly coral]

oki

[nova junco]

And if I kill the run ante 2 that's the most honorable way of losing ante 2

[sly coral]

i would never take bloodstone again if it made me lose this streak rn

[nova junco]

Nah if you actually care about not dying then don't take it

[white zodiac]

7 wins in btw

[nova junco]

Nice

I probably never did a streak higher than like 3

[pale grotto]

I need a tiny help, im stuck in gold stake Magic deck, what should i do in ante 1?

[nova junco]

Magic deck? I haven't gold staked it yet but probably just go all in with one tarot and go from there

[white zodiac]

the same thing you usually do for most other decks, mercury/saturn is a cool starting push

stabilizes the first couple antes

[pale grotto]

Pray for photochad to appear got it, ty

[white zodiac]

[nova junco]

Also you can use the fools to get flush house or 5oak very early

Or hanged man too

[pale grotto]

Flush house instead of pairs?

[coral summit]

Do I skip here

[nova junco]

I rarely do pairs even though they're considered the meta

[nova junco]

I think sigil can't do any harm right?

[pale grotto]

I usually beat tiny blind 1 open joker pack beat the Big and Boss blind open Planet pack and loose in ante 5 or so

[pale grotto]

Who is the Next Boss?

[coral summit]

Agh, I don’t know

[cosmic sun]

are you playing pairs or straights

[coral summit]

Straights

[cosmic sun]

no hand size is bad for straights

[pale grotto]

You can see it

Run info -> blinds

[nova junco]

Ecto isn't that great with this setup imo

[coral summit]

Window

[sly coral]

shiny

[coral summit]

No diamonds

[nova junco]

devil on your shoulder take the gamble with sigil

[pale grotto]

Hope that they dont land on Diamond or Skip it

[cosmic sun]

*hearts

[coral summit]

Skip

[cosmic sun]

rough gem > copestone

[coral summit]

Hieroglyph yay or nay

[cosmic sun]

no

[pale grotto]

-1 hand can be tough if you dont find a straight easily

[coral summit]

Fair

I’ll reset to claim more negatives and then go next

[nova junco]

Virgin rough gem (gives great econ and a great foundation for a strong build)
Vs gigachad bloodstone(probably kills you but what if you get dice)

[coral summit]

Negative Splash
Negative Eternal To-Do List

[nova junco]

To do list isn't that bad actually

[pale grotto]

4$ for a straight flush 🔥

[cold finch]

until it hits you with the

''Straight flush''

''4oak''

[nova junco]

Yeah but when you get pair or high card you can get a lot of money (relatively)

[cosmic sun]

idk if they know their scoring enough to use todo hands

[pale grotto]

Yesss

[pale grotto]

True

[cosmic sun]

saturn is probably carrying if they took a bunch of saturns

that nova probably tiny as hell

[pale grotto]

If It is a free todolist It also dont make any harm

[cosmic sun]

well the harm was that they skipped, so

[nova junco]

Bruh

Oh wait nvm-

[cosmic sun]

tiny nova

in a straight build

[nova junco]

No no mb my brain isn't braining

I read it wrong

[pale grotto]

supernova tinynova

[sly coral]

poly cards saved me🙏

[pale grotto]

Huge

[coral summit]

What the actual hell is this hand

[candid bay]

Idk man I see a full house

[nova junco]

Full house time

[candid bay]

Hey, so maybe I’m new and I just have yet to try it out, but what does blueprint next to brainstorm actually do?

[tranquil cargo]

copy what brainstorm is copying

[candid bay]

But if they’re next to each other, wouldn’t they copy each other and do nothing?

[alpine nest]

What?

I mean

If blueprint is the left most joker

Yeah

Brainstorm copies the joker ALL the way to the left

[candid bay]

I’ve seen people play blueprint next to brainstorm

OHHHHHHHHH

[nova junco]

Brainstorm says "copy the leftmost joker" not "joker to the left"

[candid bay]

Yeah that’s my bad

Thank you guys

[alpine nest]

Np

[coral summit]

Should I sell something to get superposition

I’m already running straights

[alpine nest]

No

[nova junco]

I think at $70 you don't need the extra tarot especially if you're not scoring that much

[cosmic sun]

what is saturn at

you should consider dumping one of your blue jokers if straights are at a reasonable level

[coral summit]

5

[coral summit]

Should I be rerolling instead?

[cosmic sun]

Dump one

[alpine nest]

No

[alpine nest]

Nooo

[cosmic sun]

Base interest cap is $25 without vouchers, you should reroll.

Down to around $25

[nova junco]

Yeah

[alpine nest]

Why tf would you you take superpositionxhere

[nova junco]

Possibly more than 25

[cosmic sun]

Tarot gen

[nova junco]

So you don't go below if you get a voucher or something expensive

[white zodiac]

or until your consumable slots are filled

[alpine nest]

He don't need it

[coral summit]

Devious joker

Continue or not

[cosmic sun]

They also don't need an extra blue joker from the looks of it

So.

[coral summit]

+100 chips on straight

[cosmic sun]

A tarot could help them fix for straights

Or better

[alpine nest]

NO

HOW COULD YOU

[lament crater]

😭

[white zodiac]

gguh

[cosmic sun]

you took that joker?

[alpine nest]

They seem like directly counterintuitive

[lament crater]

they are

[coral summit]

No

Found Runner

[cosmic sun]

dont need runner

[white zodiac]

oh the pair joker

[alpine nest]

?

[white zodiac]

we don't need him

[alpine nest]

It's better chips

Atp you sell blue no?

[white zodiac]

not in this run

[cosmic sun]

it's ante 5 and they have saturn scaled.

[alpine nest]

It's early enough

[cosmic sun]

they have blue lol

[mental ruin]

I wanna take it but dagger kinda the only thing keeping me alive

[cosmic sun]

that's enough until they get more saturn levels

[coral summit]

What if I sell the other blue, get runner, and shoot for something better

[alpine nest]

Or

[coral summit]

That gives me an extra slot

[alpine nest]

Copy x mult

[mental ruin]

Lucky cat has 1.25x. I kinda just got it

[alpine nest]

Baseball

copy baseball

[mental ruin]

oh

[cosmic sun]

keep the blue, reroll for more xmult.

[alpine nest]

Free like x 7

[mental ruin]

so take rocket and copy baseball?

[alpine nest]

What're ur levels

[coral summit]

No xmult, out of reroll money

[cosmic sun]

at that stage you'd rather scale saturn than runner

[mental ruin]

cat is 1.25x

[alpine nest]

Planet

Levels

[mental ruin]

oh

Weak

[cosmic sun]

then go next, every shop is just that process from now on

scale saturn, find xmult

[mental ruin]

Tryna turn it into lucky run rn

[alpine nest]

Copy baseball

Keep dagger

[cosmic sun]

Tarot packs can help you fix for straights if you find deaths, you want jack high or 10 high straights so anything else can be cut from your deck @coral summit

[mental ruin]

Dagger dead unless i get negative

[alpine nest]

?

Ooh yeah

It'll be fine

Cat should scale

And bull

[mental ruin]

ok

[white zodiac]

ranks 5-J

[strange canyon]

Do i take the merry

[cosmic sun]

Keep dagger, 28 is good enough when you have that baseball setup

[strange canyon]

i do have paintbrush so merry wont negatively hit me too much

and itll scale faster

[alpine nest]

Do it

[cosmic sun]

you also have brainstorm in that setup so...

[strange canyon]

i would take lucky cat but i took con

[coral summit]

Looking for those has proved difficult but thanks

Do I take seed money

[alpine nest]

Mhm

[cosmic sun]

Make sure you take note of the interest cap now

[strange canyon]

On to gold stake

[nova junco]

Yes

But remember to stay over 50 instead of 25

[mental ruin]

Take dna?

[cosmic sun]

naw

what are you scoring with your setup

[torn drift]

easy

only 12k

bruh

[mental ruin]

Mime keeps popping up

what do i do

[cosmic sun]

what are you scoring with your setup

[mental ruin]

uh

help. The mime jumpscares

[cosmic sun]

dont need this time

also your straight is at 300, no need to keep bull super high at all

[white zodiac]

they don't know he hasn't unlocked satellite yet

If I take Sock, it’ll work with Shoot the Moon

[buoyant crater]

[coral summit]

I have 3 negative tags and could get 4 mega spectral packs

It’s calling to me like cocaine

[willow frost]

maybe not super good now when youre skipping so much but still keep it

[buoyant crater]

thanks (:

[strange canyon]

the eternal rental golden joker

earn 4$ lose 3$

[unborn cliff]

[fading cobalt]

Yup

[buoyant crater]

THANKS!!, since i skip im gonna sell it but thanks guy for the tips

[steep iron]

most normal gold stake run

[unborn cliff]

lowkey savescum it and take hermit

[fading cobalt]

Lowkey use trading card to scale it

[coral summit]

Run died

[ivory sun]

[fading cobalt]

If you get dna then you can consistently scale it

[unborn cliff]

play lucky jack you'll get 20 mult and win trust

Daily dose of Jimbo ragebait

[urban oar]

Hi

[languid drift]

What should i discard/play to ensure one last straight on my last turn? I'm pretty sure one straight will win me this one.

[unreal island]

plasma deck white stake ahh build

[alpine nest]

Hype tho

Nan potential

[unborn cliff]

i love ride the bus

[willow frost]

i guess discard two 10s, an 8 and a 6 for starters

[unreal island]

round 2 btw

[steep iron]

uhmmm

[alpine nest]

Give me your seed

[unreal island]

round 3 shop

[steep iron]

i mean

[alpine nest]

DIE DIE DIE

[steep iron]

i can savescum

no need

😎

[willow frost]

you may need a retriggering joker

[steep iron]

yea

[echo tartan]

seltzer is right there

[willow frost]

preferably not that one

[heavy heron]

after you use your discard, sell andy to gain a hand size (and use that extra hand size to pseudo-discard with your 2nd-to-last hand, to find your straight)

[floral mural]

i mean for this run it seems pushing through the uses using skips could be viable for seltzer

[willow frost]

thats true the trib run never lasts forever

[balmy ridge]

can you do the steam achievements on challenge runs?

[unborn cliff]

yeah

[steep iron]

theres sock

nice

nooo

this guy perishable

[somber nebula]

do i just ignore him?

[willow frost]

swap out a dusk

[somber nebula]

waste of money

[willow frost]

well ok if you were already decided then fine lol

its better for your scoring

[somber nebula]

how

[ruby trail]

i sell swash right?

[terse dock]

You can move it

[floral mural]

brainstorm can be the dusk or any other joker

dusk can only be dusk

[terse dock]

Also copying scoring generates more than copying retriggers

[terse dock]

Go next

It's bait

[unborn cliff]

sell swash and take the voucher

[somber nebula]

its white stake on deck that already have you cover

[terse dock]

Did i stutter

[willow frost]

x1.5 bloodstone x1.5 dusk (bloodstone) x1.5 dusk 2 (bloodstone)
vs
x1.5 bloodstone x1.5 brainstorm, x1.5 dusk (bloodstone) x1.5 dusk (brainstorm)
for every card

[lone halo]

why oh why couldn't I have done this on gold stake. now I have to play Madness again someday

[modest stirrup]

has anyone figured out if it's possible to draw an opening small blind where it's impossible to one shot with perfect knowledge?

[unborn cliff]

it absolutely is

[somber nebula]

sure but for only ante 8 purple completion its not needed

[modest stirrup]

so there's 18 cards that you can draw that you can't score 300 points?

[willow frost]

then once again why did you ask lmao

[unborn cliff]

yeah probablyt

[proper flame]

On a spade build 💔 every time

[somber nebula]

thx

[languid drift]

Yeah i figured I could've sold him for verdant leaf but i would've lost 3 discard

[willow frost]

yeah just 4 or 5 cards of each suit between 2 and 7 that dont make a straight flush

[modest stirrup]

and you can't pick any 4 of the same kind

[proven gulch]

okay according to the balatro calculator i just barely win

pray for me guys

[willow frost]

oh right

[wintry ice]

that's an option

[proven gulch]

i'm lower class

:(

[lone halo]

if you have photochad and one blueprint and one brainstorm, shouldn't you copy the chad once and the photo once?

[lament crater]

41 bucks and cant afford it, i'd rather js take the -10 rn

[proven gulch]

chad is 2 triggers + innate trigger + sock+buskin + it doesn't matter

[hidden lance]

just fumbled a seed with an ante 3 perkeo and 6 sense. god damn

[lament crater]

or beat boss blind and then reroll

[lone halo]

oh yeah sock. but without sock?

[proven gulch]

yeah i'm gonna do that

how about fumbling ante 1 perkeo ante 2 brainstorm sixth sense

i'm trying to get through upper stakes Plasma as quick as possible. should I just reroll my runs until I see investment tag, given that ante 1 is free on plasma?

just play it normally

idk who that is

[coral summit]

Kanna is a character from the Blaster Master Zero Trilogy

So I’m not surprised

It’s pretty niche

[vital grove]

I just realized that Splash (“all played cards score”) is pretty useful. There’s a boatload of jokers that read “do [good thing] when [adjective] card is scored”

[wintry ice]

splash is good for econ support

[vital grove]

Via gold seals and lucky cards?

[nova mantle]

bull's at 130 and rtb is at 10, what do i copy?

[wintry ice]

and business card, sometimes rough gem

[vital grove]

Oh, that “get money when face cards score”

[wintry ice]

it becomes more replaceable in the lategame

but it's an utility common

[naive marten]

Yall I had a crazy ghost deck run earlier with 5 eternal poly madness’s and one eternal fibb, with a deck full of poly lucky 8s

It was so fun

[lone halo]

love me some 8ball

whoops, this one

i just got Bugglar, that's why drunkard is still there

[proven gulch]

ahhhh idk if i can afford this man

[coarse silo]

Use the calculator dawg

[cosmic sun]

vamp doubters in absolute shambles

[nova mantle]

USED IT dawg sorry i had caps on

[jagged valve]

Ok ok so I am quite a noob and I finally got Perkeo, my run kinda unstable I wanna know how I can win

This a red deck white stake run btw

[glossy kettle]

Game says I'm missing one Jonkler but, I have no idea who this is

nothing has appeared in quite awhile that has said "not discovered" to help out here either

[jagged valve]

This my setup if anyone wanna take a look idk if this allowed

[lone halo]

stone joker

[glossy kettle]

oh right i forgot he exists

[proven gulch]

fuck me man wtf is this draw

[glossy kettle]

apparently the game did as well as i have not seen him, at all, in well into triple digit numbers of runs

[jagged valve]

What I was doing was: trying to get as many diamond cards as possible (doing royal flushes and spending all discards) then grabbing 2 spectrals, and then putting blueprint on mystical summit, dna and perkeo are new idk how to contribute them to the win other than maybe cloning cards with DNA and blueprint my mult still cooked tho

[glossy kettle]

my average balatro draws be like

[vocal rose]

did you deck fix for the worst possible straight

[jagged valve]

It's a big deal cuz I'm such a noob I didn't even finish ante 8 on red deck yet

Only green iirc

[glossy kettle]

royal flush is not really a good hand to try for on any deck outside of checkered

at least not without a ton of deck fixing

[jagged valve]

I'm doing deck fixing sorta

Hanged man and other tarot cards, cloning cards with cryptid

Etc

Also doesn't royal flush just count as straight flush with a different name

I'm on mobile

[glossy kettle]

to my knowledge cryptid would actually make royal/straight flushes harder since you're more likely to stuff your deck with and continuously draw the same card

yes, yes it does count a straight flush

[jagged valve]

Relief

[jagged valve]

Well I'm not just putting cryptid on the same card always

[nova mantle]

purple stake will be the bane of my existence

[glossy kettle]

i will admit

[jagged valve]

I'm just thinning out the deck to favor diamonds

[glossy kettle]

thats a smarter use of cryptid on straight/flush builds than i've been able to do

usually for me pulling a cryptid is my cue to begin a pivot into four of a kind/flush five

[ruby trail]

royal flush in a tarot pack is pretty cool

[glossy kettle]

:o

anaglyph reminds me

i just had a run that should've died the moment i did this, but i did a speculative double "free shop + holo" skip on ante 1 and ended up pulling a holo Merry Andy and a nat holo delayed gratification. somehow, someway, this worked

this and the clutch Shortcut i found in the free buffoon pack carried me until i got actual good jokers

where tf is this kinda luck when i actually need it and not when i'm dicking around

[unreal island]

holy tarot generation

[fading cobalt]

Balatro keeps crashing on this seed I'm playing

[nova mantle]

do i get rid of any of these for blue joker? i feel 3 mult scalers is overkill lmao

[fading cobalt]

I dont think I can play it omg

[nova mantle]

you playing modded?

[fading cobalt]

Nope

[glossy kettle]

I'd say you might be able to get away with getting rid of swash here

[nova mantle]

mobile i guess

[fading cobalt]

Ps5 actually

[glossy kettle]

i know Blue Joker + Hologram play really nice together if you can make it work

[nova mantle]

i know thats fake cuz the ps5 got no games

[fading cobalt]

It crashes when I select boss blind

[fading cobalt]

Alright buddy

[nova mantle]

aight

[glossy kettle]

i forgot you said "seeded" and for a second i was like "bro is on a MISSION"

[fading cobalt]

I got a little bit further this time but it still crashed 😭😭

[somber nebula]

dna is good for scoring or should i get invis? i have 21 red seal steel kings already

[fading cobalt]

Sell dna bro

[glossy kettle]

that depends, are you copying DNA?

[somber nebula]

yes

[glossy kettle]

hmm

[fading cobalt]

You dont need that many kings unless you're doing a hand glitch

[somber nebula]

• 3 hand size

[glossy kettle]

i mean the hand glitch in one way or another is like

vital for endless

[jagged valve]

Well thanks

[glossy kettle]

my main question would be like

if you sold anything for invis

what would you even be trying to copy

[jagged valve]

Anyways I'm not sure if I wanna keep playing in this run 😭😭

I'm too scared to ruin this

[somber nebula]

mime for money, burglar if serpent, in worst case mime and baron

i want best single hand, not furthres run

[fading cobalt]

I can't play the seed bro it keeps crashing when I start using cryptids 😭

[jagged valve]

Just realized my Perkeo is also foil dayumm

[fading cobalt]

I dont think you can naneinf on ps5

[lone halo]

pair Flash Card with Chaos here?

[vocal warren]

im frying

[jagged valve]

Mystical Summit is my only mult joker I might be cooked

[vocal warren]

I took a perishable gros michel and it died after 1 round

[glossy kettle]

would not surprise me

i don't think you can even naneinf on low end pcs

[shell dagger]

+mult isnt good on plasma

You can naneinf on ps5

[fading cobalt]

Well the seed keeps crashing so

[viral raft]

Weird combo idk

is Black stake so whatever

[scenic ravine]

Quick Question; for cards with Retrigger Effects like "Sock and Buskin", does the order matter for the retrigger or can it be anywhere?

[viral raft]

anywhere, the only time that the order matters is Hanging chad

[scenic ravine]

And that's the Hand order as opposed to Joker order?

[viral raft]

obviusly you need to order the cards with +mult and then the Xmult with sock & buysckin

[viral raft]

ahh, you mean the joker order?

[scenic ravine]

I'll give a specific example

[viral raft]

ok

[vocal rose]

joker order does not matter if it’s on scored effects

or held in hand

[tranquil cargo]

it does if you have multiple jokers triggering on the same scored or held card

for instance, smiley face before photograph

[scenic ravine]

I'm about to loose this endless mode; I've been playing my jokers like this, but I'm not realizing I should have played it with Socks in the leftmost slot probably

[viral raft]

yep, if you're scoring the only thing that matter is that the Xmult ones go to the right

[frigid scroll]

devastated

[fading cobalt]

This is as far as I can go before game crashes

[vocal rose]

that’s true

[wintry ice]

is this not enough with this many bps and bs

[vocal rose]

I never use smiley so I didn’t think

[viral raft]

Depends, if your card have good effects (Polychrome and Glass) Sock is better, smiley already triggers without sock, so if your cards doesn't have good effects/enchanments, Smiley is better

[shell dagger]

Oran stake

[fading cobalt]

Yeah its over

[lunar zealot]

You probably still don't naneinf here because you're not on plasma

check balatro calculator

[scenic ravine]

Thanks for the info, I used my last round to test it and I should have been doing it the other way; it's more optimal

[viral raft]

Yeah, also you can use the mod "JokerDisplay" so you can see how many point you gain with each stuffg

Helps me alot when i have alot of blueprinte/brainstorms

[fading cobalt]

I crash specifically with 34 cryptids, if I use more than 28 cryptids my game will crash

[scenic ravine]

I'll keep that in mind for testing, but I've heard seeing your points ahead of time can take the game from being fun to being a full spreadsheet

[balmy ridge]

stone cards ruin blackboard?

[viral raft]

yep

Stone is a no suit, so Blackboards sees it like a no spade/club

[fading cobalt]

Same with wild card right?

[balmy ridge]

thought that i was just making sure

[viral raft]

sure, good luck

[balmy ridge]

no wild cards definetely count

[viral raft]

no, wild cards works like the best suit of that moment, so you can think that Wild card to black board is a spade/club

[lone halo]

went with Flash Card and Chaos found me a blueprint! thanks chaos I'll get you a gold sticker one day

[viral raft]

this doesn't works with Flowerpot because with each joker WIld card use the best suit not all suits

[balmy ridge]

krusty my goat <3

[random ice]

Ever just decide to do something funny

[lone halo]

chaos is like my fav econ joker

[random ice]

I think I'm going to lose

[hardy fable]

finally got astronomer

[balmy ridge]

errm

i got c+ today so now im going for c++

whats the best way to start gold stickering jokers?

like the best deck and such?

[jagged valve]

So yeah umm any ideas ?

[balmy ridge]

whats the question

[unreal island]

the king isnt present

[jagged valve]

What to do so my mult isnt cooked for next blind

[viral raft]

if you don't have many golkd stickers, start with Anaglyph and spam Negatives

[unreal island]

nor is the silent one

[jagged valve]

I got good jokers but not many mult or chip ones though perkeo is foil

[viral raft]

after that play a good deck, i used Gold deck to c++

[balmy ridge]

ohh true thats a good idea. i have quite a few but that seems like a good way to do it

[hardy fable]

or just play yellow blue or abandoned and keep wining consistently

[viral raft]

yeah but after 500-700 sticker becomes useless, anaglyph is bad so when you need to Gold stake the ones with higher raretys, is better to play good deck to won easily with you held thoses jokers

[balmy ridge]

is there a way to see how many you have gold stickered or do i have to count manually?

[unreal island]

insane synergy

[viral raft]

like Yellow, Ghost, Abandoned deck

[balmy ridge]

black deck is my favourite hate me if u want

[lone halo]

negative spunion, lovin this run

[balmy ridge]

but probably not good for stickers due to 1 less joker slot

[jagged valve]

Stickers?

[zinc karma]

How tf do u guys win fragile (challenge)?

[jagged valve]

Ohh eternal, perishable

[viral raft]

just play gold until you see that the most commons already have gold, so then start playing good decks around them

[balmy ridge]

no

[jagged valve]

Whats sricker then

[shell dagger]

Full skip, get a couple Jupiter cards

[exotic basin]

is this the discord where i can find multiplayer matches, or is there a specific multipalyer discord?

[balmy ridge]

@jagged valve you see the little stickers at the top right of his jokers?

[jagged valve]

Yeah

[balmy ridge]

like blueprint has a gold sticker, space joker white

[jagged valve]

Yeah

[zinc karma]

Max of 8 flushes does not look cool

[viral raft]

No, i'll dm you with the link with the multiplkayer server

[balmy ridge]

if you beat a stake with a joker, you get a sticker on them corresponding to the stake level

[unreal island]

i dont hate u, but maybe try a stake above black

[jagged valve]

What does it do

[exotic basin]

@viral raft thanks

[balmy ridge]

just cosmetic

[unreal island]

noob still on red stake

[jagged valve]

Oh

[balmy ridge]

but also there's a steam achievement for getting a gold sticker on every joker

[jagged valve]

Btw u got any idea for me?

[balmy ridge]

its called c++

[viral raft]

np, i already dm you with the link

[balmy ridge]

your question isn't really direct

you wanted more mult?

[unreal island]

theres a steam achievement as well for getting naneinf with every joker its called c*

[balmy ridge]

i guess just reroll and hope to find some mult idk what else to say really

[nova mantle]

what would be a right ammount of hands played before pivoting to obelisk

[jagged valve]

Yeah want to get higher score in avg without sacrificing my good jokers

[balmy ridge]

chat is this real?

[unreal island]

yes!

[lyric shore]

12-15 is enough usually

[unreal island]

c# is naneinf on every deck which is way harder

[jagged valve]

So naneinf is a game mechanic now

[balmy ridge]

send the screenshot again pls i dont want to scroll

[balmy ridge]

what? how is every deck harder than every joker lol

[unreal island]

well actually no nvm lol

[unreal island]

yeah i backpedaled lmao

imagine naneinfing with jolly joker

[jagged valve]

What i'm doing is royal flushes or straight flushes in general to get spectrals with the middle joker I forgot the name of, mostly by thinning out deck into diamonds

Use all discards then play summit with blueprint

Now with perkeo and DNA

[balmy ridge]

honestly ice cream is worth taking over seance

[jagged valve]

Which have yet to be implement

[balmy ridge]

then just reroll and see if you can find something even better

might have to replace dna just to not die

[jagged valve]

Im getting lots of straight flushes tho and I wanna get negative spectrals

[balmy ridge]

but your deck is mostly fixed anyway

[unreal island]

royal flush build:

• superposition (goat)
• seance (best joker in the game)
• runner (trash)
• the tribe (best xmult)
• shortcut (temperance value)
• four fingers (WE yes WE are on black deck)

[fervent umbra]

chat im going for invisible joker unlock and i have the 4 joker slots but i see a nat negative

if i take the neg, will it ruin the invis unlock?

[balmy ridge]

it doesn't matter how many spectral cards you have if you're dead

[fervent umbra]

ok thanks

[jagged valve]

Well true
