[solid tapir]

because they wanted to

[sly coral]

it has no good hits

[solid tapir]

lol

[spiral glade]

Fun

[solid tapir]

you don't have enough chips

if you die then share the seed

I will attempt it

[spiral glade]

Perkeo woulda been funny

[buoyant ridge]

ther are only 2 metas: wee with hanging chad or hiker with hanging chad, otherwise it impossible to win

[spiral glade]

I could actually start making my kings red seal

[sly coral]

not w 1 copy joker

[solid tapir]

this is not true

I think on my plasma ws runs I had only 1 wee run

I had a scholar run too

[buoyant ridge]

better =

[solid tapir]

wth just happened

[winter pike]

10 natural negative invisible jokers popped into existence

[solid tapir]

ready to go as well

[winter pike]

indeed

impatient ones

[solid tapir]

quite the rare balala event

[winter pike]

indeed indeed

[lament crater]

sans?????????????????

[solid tapir]

which jonkler is that

[winter pike]

odd todd

(?)

[lament crater]

negative odd todd

[buoyant ridge]

maybe if im so bad at the game i should play cryptid

[solid tapir]

crazy snipe

[buoyant ridge]

maybe thats more fitting for me if i want something more balanced

[solid tapir]

why not play pokermon gold stake

[lament crater]

um?

[solid tapir]

:)

[lament crater]

whats the play

[winter pike]

❓

[solid tapir]

what's the shop looking like

the ante, the money, the boss blind

[winter pike]

why do people not just

screenshot the whole screen

[lament crater]

9 bucks (i spent it all on rerolling to find invis), boss blind is verdant, i'll js sell odd todd, ante 8, lvl.16 high card

[solid tapir]

honest mistake

[lament crater]

glass joker is at x2.5

[solid tapir]

sure

[lament crater]

seltzer has 7 hands

[solid tapir]

if you think you can win the bb then you can skip

[buoyant ridge]

ez win

[lament crater]

what to copy?

[solid tapir]

to preserve seltzer

[pale wolf]

any advice

[lament crater]

i am already at boss blind

[pale wolf]

never mind game's gone now, you guys took too long

[solid tapir]

probably copy seltzer if you're playing multiple glass

[ocean lily]

Cryptid?

[winter pike]

my bad

[lament crater]

sell lusty joker

[buoyant ridge]

nah, pure skill

[safe flower]

Thank you thunk

[lament crater]

fuck you invis joker

[winter pike]

what if invisible joker had no texture

and was truly an invisible joker

[sly coral]

just take rare skips

[lament crater]

brainstorm mod on gollies

/j

[solid tapir]

I've got the invis right here

[heavy solstice]

Woah you got a negative invisible on painted deck

So cool

[solid tapir]

[winter pike]

then why is it 0/5 hmmmmmm

[solid tapir]

he's so invisible

that it can't sense his presence

[heavy solstice]

Painted deck

[winter pike]

fair enough

makes sense

[solid tapir]

yup yup

[ocean lily]

Reddit hivemind jerk off one another yet again

[lament crater]

wee

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[half nexus]

lol stop engaging once it gets to the point of all caps

[rugged pecan]

It’ll hit this time right..?

[cloud sinew]

1/4, surely...

[rugged pecan]

Ante 4 and had 3 invis so far

[half nexus]

does oops affect misprint

[wintry ice]

the fact that this is still alive shows how crazy yorick is

[cloud sinew]

No

[floral mural]

the biggest pain of this peak build is rearranging steel cards every hand

[wintry ice]

misprint doesn't use a listed probability

[rugged pecan]

Uhm

[half nexus]

having a bunch of misprints does help with base mult tbf

[wintry ice]

i'd have to assume that the base mult is carried by blue seal and steel

[cloud sinew]

and each is independent so the variance isn't as big of a deal

[rugged pecan]

Time to scale yorick with 2 discards 🔥

[ocean lily]

And blud tried to dm me something like "im sorry you got your feelings hurt" or some shit, i only red the thing that shows like sort of pre message then ignored

[cloud sinew]

crazy thing to say

[half nexus]

yeah bc when u scream in all caps people see it as an emotional insecurity

dont let it get that far just take the high road

[ocean lily]

U said the magic word

U know what that means

[cloud sinew]

magic deck

[narrow wadi]

Matador and chicot gold stickers on the same run

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[ocean lily]

Rats!? I was rats once, they locked me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with crazy. Crazy made me rats.

[wintry ice]

🐁

[lament crater]

does invis joker need something before it can spawn?

[wintry ice]

no

[cloud sinew]

Invis has no prerequisites*, no.

[narrow wadi]

Got chicot ante 1 on my run which was sad but kept it the whole run cos it’s a hard gold sticker to get

[lament crater]

i've been getting every other rare joker from this tag

[wintry ice]

rare tag when

[half nexus]

guys i hit my first unseeded non-legendary naneinf yesterday after 6 months of attempts

[ocean lily]

Only valie chicot will ever get is for c++ and if you somehow got it before the reroll boss voucher/s

[rugged pecan]

😠

[wintry ice]

invis moment

[safe flower]

The red seal drought is unreal

[half nexus]

ante 0?

[tacit stream]

negative BP in next reroll trust

[narrow wadi]

It did nothing all run lol, I’m going for c++ eventually tho and I didn’t need another slot. I even put matador in over rebate on last shop for another bad joker gold sticker

[rugged pecan]

There was not 😔

[cloud sinew]

ante -1 my beloved

[narrow wadi]

The chicot matador build is cursed af lol

[half nexus]

u guys seen the double mr bones trick to get to ante 564 or whatever

that shit is so funny

[cloud sinew]

yes

SUAS

[sly coral]

wait can u get ante -2

[half nexus]

no theres only 2 back in time vouchers

[cloud sinew]

no

[flat rock]

What's the c++ I don't play on steam

[sly coral]

oh oh oh right

i forgot the game starts at ante 1

[cloud sinew]

completionist++, get a gold sticker on every joker (win with every joker at gold stake)

[pale wolf]

very unlikely it did nothing all run, you got to ignore every boss after all

[lament crater]

fuck you game

[rugged pecan]

The run died 😔

[flat rock]

Oh damn

[narrow wadi]

I was running a rtb hologram pairs build, no boss effect mattered

[violet sparrow]

gulp

[cloud sinew]

needle and eye both mattered

[pale wolf]

and any other bosses that might have given you trouble leading up to finalizing the build

[narrow wadi]

I think I beat them regardless but maybe I guess- I’m still happy I gold stickered a rare and bad joker

[pale wolf]

it removes a lot of variance which lets you make what would normally be riskier decisions with impunity

[ocean lily]

Credit card in the +1 shop slot voucher

[violet sparrow]

should i pick burnt joker

[pale wolf]

yea yea yea yea

[cloud sinew]

not having to worry about boss blinds means you don't need to prepare for boss blinds in any way

[lament crater]

finally. it's complete

[cloud sinew]

I only got Flushed after C++

[violet sparrow]

well

[flat rock]

What do I do

[violet sparrow]

high card run time it is

[orchid comet]

yo

[cloud sinew]

take michel

[orchid comet]

I watched a video and felt the need to ask how is campfire considered a good card

[pale wolf]

my flushed was after c++ as well

[lament crater]

i got it cause iceave asked me to get it

[wintry ice]

rare tags

[flat rock]

The brainstorm is talking to me like the green goblin mask

[cloud sinew]

campfire works on consumables as well as jokers

[pale wolf]

it scales extremely fast using a resource that you usually dont need a lot of by the end of a run

[violet sparrow]

that or pair

[pale wolf]

money

[orchid comet]

oh?

that sounds awesome actually

[narrow wadi]

I think it’s great for high stakes, even an x2 mult joker is fantastic which is very very easy to get immediately

[cloud sinew]

rental non-eternals help out campfire a lot as well

[wintry ice]

campfire is one of the better rares because of that

[orchid comet]

oh what a coincidence

[wintry ice]

if you have an econ joker you can sell it when you need to get more power

[floral delta]

think its won

[pale wolf]

you skipped big blind for a rare tag?

[violet sparrow]

should i go for a flush build instead or

[orchid comet]

I have never seen that card

[ocean lily]

Perkeo+emperor, my beloved(i only ever got perkeo once and it was at the end of my 1st gold stake win, i bilve run didnt go that long after)

[stiff fjord]

campfire gets better on gold stake because of rentals

[floral delta]

+2 mult for every 5$

[wintry ice]

it was from a modded joker

[orchid comet]

I see that's nice

[floral delta]

I use Bull as well so it's a decent combo imo (+2 chips for every 1$)

[pale wolf]

I was trying to figure out how the round number made sense lol

[orchid comet]

is green deck the easiest or do I js spend too much

[pale wolf]

with no actual income though is sketchy

[floral delta]

maybe I find economy tag

[pale wolf]

its one of the harder ones for gold stake consistency

not super difficult but bottom half

[wintry ice]

it was from this

[orchid comet]

I haven't got past more than 2 stakes I think

[floral delta]

blue is among the easiest

[orchid comet]

on green

[floral delta]

black is hardest I think

[orchid comet]

I started getting frustrated for not winning so rn I'm js tryna win on black

[floral delta]

funnily I somehow had more of an issue with CHECKERED DECK GOLD than this

[floral delta]

think I was getting ass luck

[pale wolf]

checkered is usually the easiest for beginners to gold stake

but it trains terrible habits

[orchid comet]

yeah it sounds easy

[pale wolf]

flushes are not a great hand

[orchid comet]

u could get straight flushes a lot

[wintry ice]

is selling the fools for grabber an option

[pale wolf]

yes

[violet sparrow]

what do i pick?

[wintry ice]

i have gift card too so they gave more

[pale wolf]

id do it

[wintry ice]

couldn't think of tech fast enough

[floral mural]

its an easy first gold stake but blue decks a good first normal deck imo

[pale wolf]

nothing go next

save your money

[floral mural]

i see an option in my gold stake gameplay and dont know how to fix it

[uncut slate]

can't believe you sold burnt joker for this trash

[violet sparrow]

is the flint a good boss blind to reroll tag

[spring dragon]

HOLY SHITE

[safe flower]

This does jack shit for me

[pale wolf]

wait that cannot be the same run Pls

[floral mural]

what do i do if none of the jokers id seen in a run are capable of starting a gameplan

by ante 4

[violet sparrow]

you see uh

[wintry ice]

scholar would have been an option if you didn't already have earlygame +mult

[violet sparrow]

flush brainrot hit

[pale wolf]

I'd need an example seed

[uncut slate]

I'm actually gonna cry

[spring dragon]

Sell for dusk and you get 3 dollas cuz of extra hands 🧠

[orchid comet]

wait huh how do u unlock that joker

[floral mural]

next time it happens ill save the seed

[random ice]

Just a little money

[orchid comet]

my fav spectral card as a joker

[floral mural]

i forget to save seeds a lot

[pale wolf]

i maintain that not seeing the "right" jokers is almost always an issue of economy

[violet sparrow]

should i use boss tag?

[wintry ice]

what's the current boss

[violet sparrow]

flint

[minor portal]

nah you got that trust

[wintry ice]

do i take this for early +mult

[wintry ice]

should be doable

[pale wolf]

whats the star

[minor portal]

misprint does nothing but hit the 21 mult each time

[floral delta]

bruh

do I get the gift card or nah

[minor portal]

there are no consequences of picking up misprint

[floral delta]

its perishable and rental but I have swash anyway

[pale wolf]

yea kill luchador

[wintry ice]

1 in 2 chance to level up the first played hand

lasts 5 rounds

[violet sparrow]

should i take foil brainstorm

[wintry ice]

yea

it's foil so

[orchid comet]

I don't see why you'd leave brainstorm

[violet sparrow]

telescope too?

just in case?

[floral mural]

for what its worth getting to ante 4 without anything major yet is quite rare for me

[minor portal]

reroll for until you find a negative one

[wintry ice]

i wouldn't take telescope below 25$

[sly coral]

nah dont it costs 2$ more

uh brainstorm

i forgot to reply

[lament crater]

pluh

[violet sparrow]

already took brainstorm though so 🙁

[pale wolf]

id take the brainstorm and then maybe open the spectral tbh

[wintry ice]

gluh

[orchid comet]

same

[violet sparrow]

it has ecto and incantation

[pale wolf]

wraith with only 11 (-4 is 7) or an immolate goes nuts

[floral delta]

glad rentals can be more than 1$ with gift card

[minor portal]

Spectral pack has incantation and ouija

fuck

I didn't see their message

[pale wolf]

prob just skip then, rip money

[violet sparrow]

used incantation anyway because 1 extra joker good

[pale wolf]

wut

[minor portal]

ecto

You used ecto

[violet sparrow]

ecto my bad

[pale wolf]

you prob just lost the game

[wintry ice]

i don't think it's worth trading your hand size this early

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[minor portal]

what joker did it hit

[pale wolf]

no need for ecto when you have essentially 4 empty slots still

[violet sparrow]

wrathful

[wintry ice]

you have to be use you can draw your prefered hand after taking it

and it has nothing good to hit right now

[serene forge]

yeah that's not good

[violet sparrow]

gulp

is run dead

[minor portal]

the other option was misprint

[pale wolf]

the options were misprint and wrathful lol

[pale wolf]

maybe, play it out

it is white stake i keep forgetting

[slow iris]

negative foil brainstorm

[pale wolf]

with proper play you would be completely fine still

[serene forge]

ectoplasm is good when
you have good jokers, preferably ones you intend to keep for the whole run
you don't have any food jokers or stuff you intend to use for a couple rounds then sell
you are confident that you will not die from the hand size loss

[slow iris]

if you could ecto the same joker twice would it become positive instead of negative

[pale wolf]

would it be cool for a spectral card to add $10 of sell value to a random joker

[sly coral]

maybe

[wintry ice]

would be cool if the game had more sell value scalers in general

the only 2 are egg and gift card

which makes it so swash isn't too useful past earlygame

[cloud sinew]

more things that are related to sell value would be good

[orchid comet]

does this win or nah? Do I buy any joker and sell devious?

[acoustic kettle]

Sell value is only for temp and swash

[orchid comet]

or fist

[unreal island]

Man i love balatro, i cant believe it was made by just one guy

[acoustic kettle]

John balatro

[orchid comet]

it was?

that's wild

[violet bear]

Yeah, john balatro himself

[terse vale]

TRU

[acoustic kettle]

Guft card exists but not any that benefits from it

[violet sparrow]

now at round 17 in this run

should i take troubadour

[safe flower]

This is a first for me

[half nexus]

what ru playing and what’s your deck like

[violet sparrow]

red deck white stake

[half nexus]

i mean what hand

[acoustic kettle]

What hands

[violet sparrow]

flush

[half nexus]

send a screenshot of your deck and hands

[orchid comet]

do I get ankh on blueprint

[latent egret]

depends on plantes levels tbh

[orchid comet]

straight lvl 4 is highest

[latent egret]

damn your order is carrying then

its a x9

[orchid comet]

with 50 I could probably reroll for some more

[orchid comet]

yes

[heady tiger]

What do I sell here?

[orchid comet]

it is

[latent egret]

oops

[acoustic kettle]

Holy photochad

What in the photochad

[half nexus]

u need more planets to consider killing anything. u got no xmult, only take troubadour if its hard to draw enough flushes to win

[heady tiger]

Even tho I have many lucky cards?

[orchid comet]

do I just do medium or ankh on order

[latent egret]

i wouldn't do it

[sly coral]

oops or invis

[half nexus]

or if your goal is to switch to a harder hand to draw like straight flush

[latent egret]

+20 means nothing when you get x64 from photochad

[acoustic kettle]

I mean oops could be good in case of plant

[latent egret]

glass if plant comes

[latent egret]

you just medium

[half nexus]

id kill the invis if oops is your econ

[orchid comet]

alright thanks

[half nexus]

bp/bs on chad makes it stronger

[orchid comet]

level 5 now

[violet sparrow]

i lose

[latent egret]

it's only x2 the econ, not the source

[half nexus]

yeah depends if they’re scoring enough i suppose

[latent egret]

it's not like mail in rebate where 80% of econ comes from there

[half nexus]

if scoring isn’t an issue rn i stand by it, also im a sucker for builds with a bunch of oopsies so personally id skip the blueprint hoping for an oops copy if i wasn’t worried about beating ante 8 :) :)

natural negative lucky cat WILL come.

[latent egret]

yeah but since it's purple stake it's not just going for a fun run id assume, beating it is a main objective

[half nexus]

ya fair

again depends if scoring is currently an issue right

if ur scoring 200k a hand on a pair then im beating it regardless

[acoustic kettle]

Lucky card sucks

I hate hitting 20 mult on it

Give me 20 dollars

[heady tiger]

This fucking seed, man

[orchid comet]

hehe fun

[half nexus]

I TOLD YOU

[half nexus]

ALWAYS keep the oops 💔💔💔

don’t actually

but it’s silly i love oops

my fav joker i think

[heady tiger]

Ahh well, I still am 99% guaranteed to win (loss condition is not pulling a glass on upcoming plant)

[acoustic kettle]

comes for us all

[coral summit]

First pack of the run

What do I do

Sixth sense can trim my deck down really early on I think

[acoustic kettle]

Sixth sense

[wintry ice]

i'd try it

no blue or purple stake to mess with earlygame yet

[coral summit]

Got Ankh

[fervent wolf]

W buffoon pack

[lament crater]

neg mr. death is the play here

[dark otter]

do i sell vaga, fortune with +75 and strength for brainstorm?

help quick pls

[fervent wolf]

I know it is

[dark otter]

pls

[fervent wolf]

Levels for hands?

[dark otter]

i can get flush house easily

[fervent wolf]

Can you consistently draw the.

Oh

Okay good

Then yes

[dark otter]

alr thanks

[orchid comet]

is there a way to save the run at a point like creating a save file in some games

so I can do smtg stupid and see if it works out or not and come back to the save

[lyric shore]

theres probably a savestate mod

[blissful bronze]

someone give me a seed money

[stark karma]

Had a dream I found a seed with 2 negative blueprints, 8 brainstorms and a negative photo and chad in like ante 2

And I was going mad trying to figure out how to afford all of them

[orchid comet]

oh there is apparently

but there's also stuff like "win blind" straight up lol

[kind cloud]

⛽

[signal frigate]

Just redo the seed

[dense stag]

weird first run

DIKTJO3Z

[floral mural]

i know fibs fine in that joker placement but it still feels wrong

[sand lily]

This was a silly build

[haughty carbon]

Whys kris in the balatro discord

[dense stag]

im very fond of the game

[haughty carbon]

You suck

[dense stag]

im making a fountain because of you im not having that

[haughty carbon]

DONT MAKE A TITAN!!!

[pale wolf]

ok

i now believe it is impossible to win a run on any stake on any deck besides blue

i stand uncontested, i must be right

[wintry ice]

romeo and juliet or something

[pale wolf]

thats like the classic fairy tale of beavis and butthead

[wintry ice]

another corgi run

[blissful bronze]

fly high canio o7

[atomic trout]

Does it double??

[coral summit]

Does Sixth Sense trigger during The Psychic?

[wintry ice]

they stack additively

[pale wolf]

it stacks, not doubles

+$1 per interest step per to the moon

[atomic trout]

I remember having three credit cards and going down -$60

[pale wolf]

yea

[wintry ice]

garlic

[pale wolf]

i thought it was a onion

[coral summit]

What’s the play here

Do I take the pack or

Actually yeah I should

[uncut slate]

how did you end up with sixth sense here

[coral summit]

[coral summit]

First pack had that or a bad eternal

[uncut slate]

fair enough

[coral summit]

And like

I will 100% take early game ankh

[wintry ice]

another interesting chip joker

[coral summit]

Problem is: ancient joker bad

[pale wolf]

double aj is awsome

[wintry ice]

double ancient joker should be more than good enough

[pale wolf]

aj isnt bad huh

[uncut slate]

ancient joker is lowkey goated

[orchid comet]

why does ante 11 jump to 7m 😭

[wintry ice]

you don't have to worry about whiffing flushes below blue stake

[orchid comet]

I always die here

[pale wolf]

you just need to not be dumb and walk into suit bosses

[atomic trout]

Yes or no? I can never fully cook it right

[pale wolf]

Yes

even with the absolute lack of context

[orchid comet]

I don't get why that exists

it's the one where u can't play ur most played hand right?

[atomic trout]

The Monolith Challenge said otherwise

[pale wolf]

you can hold obelisk while you play a relatively normal pairs game until ante 4-6 and just roll the rest of the game, its one of the most powerful xmults at any point in the run and only gets negated by a few game plans

[atomic trout]

Something like that

[pale wolf]

The design concept behind obelisk is to build a big stack/Tower of a single hand, and then dance around it by no longer playing it anymore

[atomic trout]

So play pairs until I die?

[orchid comet]

I see

[pale wolf]

until you're around or two away from not scoring enough, and then you get up to 1.2X scaling per round which is nuts

[orchid comet]

usually I build my jokers around a single hand like full house or straight so I didn't get it

[atomic trout]

I get 0x 🤣

[uncut slate]

just don't do that

[orchid comet]

why...

[uncut slate]

so you can use obelisk

[orchid comet]

ohh

[pale wolf]

full house really sucks in any context

[orchid comet]

alright

[wintry ice]

forcing builds doesn't go right on higher stakes

[pale wolf]

except trib

[wintry ice]

and full house doesn't have much of a use case past ante 1

[uncut slate]

also it's totally an ante 8 joker, not going to work for freeplay long term

[orchid comet]

the trio and duo make it worth it

[pale wolf]

if you have trio and Duo then you would just be playing three of a kind

You can play like two three of a kinds per full House

and the planet scaling is marginally smaller compared to being able to actually draw the hand consistently and multiple times per round

also, you don't need to play a full house to trigger both trio and Duo, three of a kind contains both three of a kind and a pair

[orchid comet]

yes ik

but I just felt like full house was better since I can keep tarots like strength to help if I run out of discards though usually I can get it thru just the discards

[nocturne frost]

Fragile challenge is fun

[wintry ice]

it's better to save that pair for another 3oak if you have any levels on it

[orchid comet]

and since the mult is higher than three of a kind

[uncut slate]

you can do that with 3oak

[wintry ice]

5 extra chips of scaling is nothing

[pale wolf]

yeah also consider getting two extra cards to throw away whenever you actually play a three of a kind to dig for the next three of a kind, not possible with full House

[bronze breach]

Should I stick with idol or go for baron

[wintry ice]

baron has a much higher ceiling

just sell bloodstone

[pale wolf]

full House would need a big planet buff or like two extremely viable common Jokers to see much usage past winning ante 1

[dense stag]

nice :)

[bronze breach]

Idol is not online tho

[orchid comet]

I always considered full house as a better option to go for if I saw a two pair

[bronze breach]

Still need deck fixing

[orchid comet]

since it is above flush in the thingy

which is my 2nd go-to

during runs w/o much jokers focusing on specific stuff

[pale wolf]

Don't pay attention to the order of the hands in the hand list too much, otherwise pairs would be the second worst rank instead of the most consistent by far
planet scaling is what really matters for these five card hands that usually rely a lot on their planet levels rather than ability to play multiple of the hand type per round

[misty atlas]

photo photo chad chad

anhk then ghost joker

[safe flower]

Based based based based

[orchid comet]

okkk

[pale wolf]

and earth and flush just dont have enough to make up for draw odds and decreased digging

[wintry ice]

flush is fine below blue stake

[safe flower]

Half decent on checkered too

[wintry ice]

but the fact that it's chip scaling is the same as pairs combined with the reduced discard makes it suffer

[pale wolf]

Two pair is an alright hand as well, it has a lot of chip scaling for being relatively easy to draw so you only need to focus on mult Jokers for the most part, It's good when you have fewer resources

[buoyant ridge]

what am i doing wrong ? even witl lvl 13 two pair i cant win this

[wintry ice]

and the mult scaling part of it doesn't matter as much when the game is dominated by scaling mult jokers with pairs

[nocturne frost]

Oops just pair

[pale wolf]

I'd say it's about as good as pairs on checkered, since it makes them nearly as likely to be drawn

[orchid comet]

what's chip scaling

[pale wolf]

like the number of chips you get from leveling up the planet

[wintry ice]

put misprint between brainstorm and duo

[orchid comet]

I see

[eager lynx]

what do?

[west copper]

Isn’t it like

Absurdly obvious

[eager lynx]

no im not that good

[west copper]

Sell misprint

[eager lynx]

see i wasnt thinking that

[orchid comet]

get brainstorm

[eager lynx]

my bad

[coral summit]

Is acrobat worth it?

[orchid comet]

dont listen to me I'm new

[brave plume]

is it time for bloodstone and oops to go?

[orchid comet]

no

[buoyant ridge]

even with lvl 13 two pairs i cant win this

[orchid comet]

the misprint...

[safe flower]

Develop your econ more, something better will come

[orchid comet]

ur order of jokers 😭

[safe flower]

High card level?

[brave plume]

only got it at 4 rn but i am prioritizing planet packs for high card

rebate is just really good for econ rn so im not sure

[pale wolf]

i sure like it with nova

That's nearly free spamming

just play carefully

[orchid comet]

wouldn't u need an econ card then cuz u wouldn't get money from ur hands

[pale wolf]

maybe if you moved your Jokers like people said earlier already lol

[orchid comet]

if u rely on acrobat

I never really go for it

[pale wolf]

The ultimate goal of money is to get scoring, and interest will handle income as well as enhancements/seals

[buoyant ridge]

double missprint wouldnt have helped

[wintry ice]

it adds a safety net for your scoring while you scale supernova

[orchid comet]

that's not how brainstorm works

[wintry ice]

and you can't be picky about xmult regardless

[pale wolf]

sure 🙄

[orchid comet]

brainstorm copies the ability of ur leftmost joker

[wintry ice]

it would still have been an effective increase if you put it between duo and brainstorm

[orchid comet]

it'd still copy duo

[pale wolf]

ideally you should have brainstorm all the way to the right almost all the time

[orchid comet]

ye

blueprint way better tho

imi

imo

[wintry ice]

unless you're copying a +mult joker but yea

[pale wolf]

true

[vestal fern]

Joker Stencil🔥

[nocturne frost]

And so I assembled exodia

[coral summit]

i might be screwed this run.

[pale wolf]

In case you were wondering why hand levels matter more than base scoring

[nocturne frost]

Each planet is like a negative eternal jimbo or better, that's a good way to think about it

[pale wolf]

uuh no

[uncut slate]

each planet is like a planet

or better

[rancid widget]

....no, i will not take you, goddamn bloodstone. never again bro

get out of my face you stone

[minor portal]

gamble EVERYTHING on idol it will surely work with a 51 card deck

[eager lynx]

u like vagabond that much?

[uncut slate]

vagagoat

[pale wolf]

vagabond is juiced

[uncut slate]

vagagoat can turn ur entire deck into red seal gold if u think about it

[pale wolf]

definitely a bigger asset when you're holding AJ then bloodstone would be

[uncut slate]

so u make all the money end of round anyway

[brave plume]

alr what do i kill here

[rancid widget]

yes and im escaping the abusive relationship that is bloodstone

[brave plume]

oops or bloodstone

[brave plume]

vagabond is good

[uncut slate]

oops no stone doesn't do anything

but bloodstone highkey garbage lowkey

[rancid widget]

wtf are you doing having baron which implies high card build and bloodstone

[lyric shore]

pivot bro

[brave plume]

i needed heart flushes to make it into endless

NOW im pivoting thx to blue

[trail holly]

goodbye bloodstone we will not miss you

[brave plume]

do i just kill both of them

[unreal island]

Why tf r u running both baron mime and dicestone

[rancid widget]

then murder oops for temporary help from bloodstone

it won't trigger a single time but you know

[eternal anchor]

I'd probably sell Mail-in Rebate in this situation

[brave plume]

too late i killed the oops

[unreal iron]

bloodst*ne

[eternal anchor]

nice, now bloodstone WILL be useless

[sage abyss]

How does the burnt joker work?

like if i play a flush will that get upgraded?

[brave plume]

ARE WE CENSORING BLOODST*NE

[trail holly]

all my homies hate shitstone

[lyric shore]

first discard

[brave plume]

you'd have to discard the flush

[unreal iron]

first discard levels up your hand that you discard

^^^

[strange canyon]

Yippee i won my second gold stake

Trib my beloved

[unreal iron]

ight bro i think you won

[trail holly]

slightly good run

[unreal island]

Today i almost beat jokerless but i got vessel'd

[trail holly]

violet vessel is like the hardest or easiest boss ever depending on your build

[brave plume]

IS IT FINALLY TIME TO KILL SHITSTONE

[trail holly]

such an inconsistent boss for that simple of a concept

[rugged bloom]

WHY DID I BUY THIS 😭

[trail holly]

THROW IT OFF THAT CLIFF

[brave plume]

DNA????

IM THINKING DNA

[lyric shore]

you buying vagabond?

[sly coral]

kings

[unreal island]

The beauty of balatro

[trail holly]

yeah

[unreal island]

It makes such simple things have so much nuance

[trail holly]

showman popoff 🔥

[minor portal]

selling blood stone for the love of the game (5/6 joker slots)

[unreal island]

Funny how the best pick js the 9 😭

[brave plume]

yeah ik i just hate stone

[trail holly]

purple seal my beloved

[uncut slate]

VAGABOND!!

[trail holly]

i know bloodstone is objectively better but i like onyx and arrowhead so much more

[brave plume]

thats fair tbh

[trail holly]

the inconsistency and being carried by oops is the thing that makes me hate bloodstone

[uncut slate]

bloodstone is the worst of the suit gems

[minor portal]

arrowhead the goat we LOVE chips

[brave plume]

BARON/MIME DIDN'T WIN??????

[trail holly]

rough gem is also cool but i dont really care about it as much as onyx or arrowhead

[brave plume]

WHAT

you can lose with baron/mime??????

[trail holly]

yeah if you dont fix your deck surprisingly you WILL die

[brave plume]

how bad am i jesus christ

[minor portal]

oh brother 💔

[trail holly]

its like a thing that you need to do yk

especially when youre pivoting

[brave plume]

in my defense, i'm bad at deckfixing

that and i could only find gold

[minor portal]

Deck fixing isn't real just pray every time you draw your cards

[trail holly]

arent we all

[trail holly]

the humble death and hanged man

[brave plume]

i didnt see a SINGLE steel card that entire run

whatever, i won, idc

[coral summit]

new run

[brave plume]

is it normal to be hard stuck on purple stake

[coral summit]

immediately took investment tag round 1

[trail holly]

prolly

i got stuck on it myself

[coral summit]

high priestess or buffoon pack?

[brave plume]

buffoon

fuck it up

[trail holly]

buffoon definitely

[coral summit]

photograph or vampire...

[brave plume]

i've been stuck on purple stake for 5 months now

PHOTO

PREEMPTIVE PHOTO

[trail holly]

youve been brainwashed by the photochad propaganda

but it is better in this cse

[brave plume]

CHAD IS GONNA SHOW UP NEXT ANTE TRUST

[coral summit]

lmao photo time

[trail holly]

if youre picking between that and vampire youre taking photo

[coral summit]

what is chad

[brave plume]

looks inside
photochad

hanging chad

[trail holly]

looks outside
chadphoto
wtf

[brave plume]

what the hell is this

[trail holly]

looks left
roffle lite
looks right
roffle heavy
wtf

[abstract vapor]

Do i just play for serpant since I have retcon?

[jagged torrent]

looks above
excellent deck fixing

[trail holly]

i dont think you have enough steel but sure

[brave plume]

guys

i have an idea

[jagged torrent]

Not enough steel but yeah it's your best bet

[abstract vapor]

Well i have to have enough money for rerolling for serpant

[coral summit]

red card or go next

[trail holly]

both of these are so good early game i personally prefer groker to set up for my glorious square joker 🤤

[brave plume]

eternal seal:

[trail holly]

yeah its a scaling joker ofc you want it forever

[jagged torrent]

A grimbo enjoyer?

Crazy

[trail holly]

square + green is one of the best combos for black stake or above so

[brave plume]

fair actually

[trail holly]

yes

[coral summit]

do i take red card or do i go next

[trail holly]

listen its +mult scaling thats all i need to like a joker

[trail holly]

red card good for high stakes but will fuck up your econ

[abstract vapor]

You're playing yellow deck so I would just go with ride the bus since your econ isn't hit that much and you can just pick up another joker

[coral summit]

next it is

[trail holly]

unless you have golden joker or cloud nine or any permament money gain then red card is not worth

[tired condor]

Which one

[trail holly]

constellation ❤️‍🩹

[abstract vapor]

Constellation

[tired condor]

Either I take the 15 mult or bet on the scaling consultation

[brave plume]

why is stuntman so fucking good

[trail holly]

i mean the +250 chips is staring at you

[coral summit]

hiker, trobadour
both are eternal

only standard packs

what do

[brave plume]

lemme rephrase that

[abstract vapor]

You already have +mult so xmult is best to go for here imo

[brave plume]

why did it take me this long to realize how good stuntman is (i'm a dumbass)

[valid berry]

wee gaming

[trail holly]

i dont like any of these but if you HAVE to pick ig id go hiker

[tired condor]

The only reason why I wouldn’t go constilation is black deck

[trail holly]

but theyre eternal so id skip

[brave plume]

REF DO SOMETHING HE'S JACKING HIS WEE

[abstract vapor]

Nice lol

[tired condor]

Also I’ve gotten 2 shop 1 madnesses and no eternals

[valid berry]

more like HACKing my wee

[coral summit]

i mean i dont have to i dont think

[brave plume]

trueeee mbmb

[trail holly]

"we love wee joker" we all say in unison

[coral summit]

if i use my double tag here i'll get 2 mega buffoon packs

[tired condor]

Great

[valid berry]

wee joker has a vibe to it

[tired condor]

I got a holo blue

[valid berry]

if you can get your run to work it feels chaotic

[tired condor]

That works

[trail holly]

discord user named The whole mega Buffon pack:

[coral summit]

...what

[tired condor]

🙁

[lost vault]

miau

[coral summit]

uh, ok

[tired condor]

What ya need

[coral summit]

im gonna use the double tag and skip here

[trail holly]

aint that what cats say

[lost vault]

yeah

nya

[tired condor]

I’m grinding for completionist+

[coral summit]

invisible joker!!!!!!!!!!!

[tired condor]

Nice

[brave plume]

is there still time for madness

because i could do something REALLY funny here

[minor portal]

there is time for shortcut

[trail holly]

i mean... unless youre being carried on ramen/blue joker then i see no reason not to

madness is funny

[brave plume]

no

[tired condor]

Yes

[lost vault]

forces them outta vagabond

[trail holly]

personally not a fan of shortcut

[tired condor]

Sell vaugbond for it

[lost vault]

insanity

[trail holly]

thats automatically good

[lost vault]

shortcat is great

[minor portal]

One two skip a few

[uncut slate]

madness 👍

[tired condor]

Bruh

[brave plume]

i am not selling vagabond

[lost vault]

oh brother

[tired condor]

On BLACK DECK

[brave plume]

i refuse

[lost vault]

a vagabond hater

[brave plume]

im selling blue/ramen, not vagabond

or

[lost vault]

madness would destroy them

[brave plume]

wait

[trail holly]

i mean listen it can be good sutiationally but as a longterm joker its bad

[tired condor]

I’m saving the voucher for last shop

[brave plume]

fuck

[trail holly]

at least i dont enjoy playing it

[lost vault]

its a good joker to base your run a round

yes all jokers are situational

but vag is op if comes early on

[brave plume]

ETERNAL PHOTO

OH

[trail holly]

yeah but unless i see him in the first 2 antes im not picking him up

[brave plume]

THERE'S OH SO MANY JOKERS I LOVE

[bleak blaze]

Chat rate the ante 3 build, this might go endless

[lost vault]

id take him as late as ante 4

very op tarot gen

[brave plume]

i found hologram, isn't that just better than madness

[bleak blaze]

Depends on the build

[minor portal]

I personally would sell but you do you.

[mild scaffold]

I sense planet levels or 4 oak lucky draws

[willow frost]

the fuck

[bleak blaze]

Planet levels in straights lmao

Everything is rental

[trail holly]

youre prolly better at the game so i js wanna ask why is it good? it hinders your money for a few tarot cards that rarely are ever good, something like cartomancer or even hallu seems like a better option

im just curious

[mild scaffold]

Straights are just chill, although I'm not sure if planet scaling is as strong on plasma deck

Maybe you'll be able!

[lost vault]

it generates a tarpt every hand, thats more than worth losing interest, plus there are multiple tarots that work as econ generators making vagabond an econ in and of itself

also the deckfixing is op

glass and steel are quite strong

[trail holly]

OHHH i forgot its every hand yeah that makes sense

[willow frost]

it makes your cards good, and then you just keep hermit and temperance at the end

simples

[bleak blaze]

Vagabond is insanely good because it IS the econ

[lost vault]

interest is just 5 dollars a round

id say 4 tarots is better than that

eh on average anywya

[trail holly]

well alr makes sense

[pure fox]

what do u guys want out of the update

[crystal lintel]

worst shop ever

[abstract vapor]

Still haven't found a single ecto 😭

[brave plume]

what would happen if i did ankh

[trail holly]

1. new jokers
2. more lovers uses
3. new jokers
4. idk prolly some new usables
5. buffs to some absolutely useless jokers

[violet bear]

Usually yeah

[abstract vapor]

If it copies anything except the madness you lose the madness

[brave plume]

fuck

[undone laurel]

Blue stake rework!!!

[trail holly]

oh yeah and that

[crystal lintel]

LOYALTY REWORK PLEASE

[trail holly]

blue stake is hell

[undone laurel]

Watch it be -2 discards

[pure fox]

i want more consumables more than anything

and more decks

[trail holly]

-1 hand 🤑

[crystal lintel]

-1 hand blue stake on black deck

[trail holly]

so you get 2 hands and 3 discards

thats fair

[undone laurel]

Because who needs econ anyway?

[pure fox]

more card enhancements

seals

[crystal lintel]

always use the extra joker slot from black in a drunkard to counter blue stake

[pure fox]

brown seal

[twin lantern]

econ is an illusion

[trail holly]

whatsapp seal

[violet bear]

Econ is overrated

[twin lantern]

produces 1 turd everytime this card stays in hand

[crystal lintel]

card returns to hand like that old balatro version bean covered

[trail holly]

new boss blinds maybe??

[violet bear]

-2 hands

Turn black deck blue+ into golden needle

[abstract vapor]

Why not 3

Honestly who needs hands

[twin lantern]

cus then ya die

[pure fox]

saw a post saying the serpent should be a joker

and im like yeah

maybe

[twin lantern]

upvote ts

[crystal lintel]

always die ante 1

[violet bear]

Correct

[trail holly]

yeah that would be cool

but it would make naneinfing a lot easier too

[abstract vapor]

Retcon losing its only use lol

[pure fox]

i got c++ the other day and i have no interest in going for naneinf

my high score is like e19

[trail holly]

i mean there is that one clip of roffle rolling into the same boss twice so

[abstract vapor]

That's possible?

[trail holly]

yeah

[violet bear]

Or a deck

[trail holly]

if thats the last possible boss blind the game can pick and coincidentally picks the same when it resets the odds that can happen

unfortunately

[pure fox]

serpent feels like more of a challenge kind of thing

[willow frost]

you start with 4 dont you

just golden needle it

[abstract vapor]

Imagine rolling double

[pure fox]

id have to kill myself

[trail holly]

mime+baron biggest nightmare

also photochad biggest nightmare

[pure fox]

nerf chad in update

[vocal rose]

how

[pure fox]

do it do it do it

[vocal rose]

photochad is not countered by plant

glass aces

[abstract vapor]

Like pvp nerf maybe

[trail holly]

you wouldnt deliberately make glass aces in a photochad run especially in early antes

[abstract vapor]

Zoah your trolling right?

[trail holly]

and besides that still doesnt have to be enough

[vocal rose]

yeeees you would

lmfao

[trail holly]

still the score can just not be enough

[vocal rose]

then you don’t know how to play photochad if that happens

[abstract vapor]

Who plays photochad without facecards?

[vocal rose]

chad with glass is = photochad

[abstract vapor]

You're just playing Chad at that point

[twin lantern]

..

[vocal rose]

for the main purpose of plant lmfao

[violet bear]

With a chad build you always make glass just in case, even without meeting the plant its still an additional 2x

[vocal rose]

obviously you play photochad

but in CASE plant comes

you have a fall back

[abstract vapor]

Well yeah but it still sucks

If that happens

[violet bear]

It sucks less if you don’t die

[vocal rose]

dying sucks more

[willow frost]

oh you mean black deck

i see

[twin lantern]

..

yes..

😭

[abstract vapor]

Bro ofc you're gonna have glass in a photochad build

[violet bear]

Yeah we were talking about a meme blue stake that removes 2 hands turning black into golden needle

[acoustic kettle]

Matador gave me a lot of money

[willow frost]

im not going to lie i thought you meant black deck should be -3 hands

my bad

[violet bear]

Classic matador

[twin lantern]

oh 😭

[violet bear]

[trail holly]

when youre in the middle of the argument and you realize your opponent is lowk right so you stop talking for a second

[twin lantern]

it's alr

[violet bear]

That would be quite funny

[woven tree]

negative red joker carrying with that oblivious +3 mult

[twin lantern]

"opponent"

[cunning osprey]

I do not believe that reserved parking is a 1 in 2 chance

[willow frost]

me every time

[twin lantern]

"red joker"😭🙏

[willow frost]

we're all opps here

group opp hug

[trail holly]

opponent works as a word in that sentence

[violet bear]

We should turn arguments into a duel to the death

[woven tree]

idk how its called on english version im sorry

[rustic haven]

For me it’s closer to 2/3 most of the time

[twin lantern]

nah I'm not insulting you I'm just making a joke

it's called "Red Card"

[willow frost]

no thats right

the joker is red

[woven tree]

oh okay

[twin lantern]

yeah logic

[trail holly]

theoretically yeah

[twin lantern]

but the correct name is Red Card

[woven tree]

ty

[violet bear]

The goat

[willow frost]

wait what language(s) do you speak

fucks sake

[vestal fern]

is that grimbo or jimbo

[acoustic kettle]

Survived ante 12 plant somehow

My deck is full of kings

[bleak blaze]

Straight thugged it out

[acoustic kettle]

The baron run is not baroning

[random ice]

Jimbo

[orchid comet]

riff raff or negative banner? Idk how useful banner is since I use up most my discards before playing

[random ice]

Riff Raff

100% riff Raff here

Also it Synergies with Campfire too

[orchid comet]

oh wait true

I didn't even think of that

damn thank you

[acoustic kettle]

I think i overreacted to the plant

I'm broke

Though i'm alive

[rancid widget]

do i get bloodstone here

[acoustic kettle]

I rolled down hard to get that chad

[rancid widget]

i would personally take riff raff for early game

[acoustic kettle]

Hm yes director's cut right after the one boss that kills me

Thanks john balatro

[marsh dove]

How rare are seeds you can’t win without playing something you couldn’t have known would be a good play? (Lose even if played perfectly without foreknowledge)

Gold stake ofc

[mild scaffold]

They're not super rare

[orchid comet]

I don't get how that is a good joker set and I wanna understand it

[acoustic kettle]

Depends on how perfect you play

Tbh

[coral summit]

Hmmm

[marsh dove]

I mean seeds that an optimal player would lose unless they knew the seed

[acoustic kettle]

They're really rare

[coral summit]

I have a lot of options, or I could just go next and do the boss

[acoustic kettle]

There's just so much stuff that can help with scoring

[rancid widget]

It depends. I have a full deck of wind cards that are also actually hearts

[orchid comet]

wind cards?

[rancid widget]

oh my bad

wilds

[acoustic kettle]

Face

[orchid comet]

what was ancient joker for again

[acoustic kettle]

1.5x per card with [suit] played

[orchid comet]

I remember idol I forgot ancient

[orchid comet]

I see

[rancid widget]

each played card of [suit] gives 1.5xmult when scored suit changes at the end of the round

[acoustic kettle]

That's a better description

[orchid comet]

my joker set usually depends mostly on playing one type of hand for xmults so this is very interesting

[stark karma]

Wild cards hitting 2 cards and not being debuffed by suit bosses would be enough of a buff imo

[marsh dove]

Ya I figured I just saw one on BU where he lost until he knew the seed enough

[orchid comet]

I'm taking campfire cuz I wanted to try smtg new infact

[marsh dove]

So I was curious how rare

[stark karma]

Thunk will prob add a wild card joker

I don’t know why we don’t already have one

Every other enhancement has one

[marsh dove]

Ancient jonkler

[acoustic kettle]

Maybe thunk will delete wild cards altogether

[marsh dove]

New lovers revamp

Each card turns your whole hand into wild

Balanced 🔥
