[valid abyss]

we are speaking in a civil manner about funny gamble game

[ivory sun]

the ecto hit the banana it’s over

[valid abyss]

[silver canopy]

[sudden prairie]

Neg banana is my fav

[valid abyss]

put a seatbelt on

[silver canopy]

yea that happened to me a run or 2 before

[valid abyss]

crashing is never fun

[left juniper]

Just setting up that -1 handsize for blackboard. Very smart

saddest

[sudden prairie]

hey, you can edit messages

[silver canopy]

3rd times the charm lookin ahh

[sudden prairie]

Hope this helps 🥰

[valid abyss]

phone

[sudden prairie]

same ?

[valid abyss]

holding message

then clicking edit

then navigating to the letter

is far more time consuming than just retyping it here

[sudden prairie]

you sound like me complaining about using a d pad 😂

[valid abyss]

this is my legacy now

[lunar zealot]

Why would you ecto here

[valid abyss]

this is actually a great question

[craggy gale]

Welp this is certainly a run

[ivory sun]

and she left me

[valid abyss]

why WOULD you ecto here

[narrow wadi]

there's a driver's license in the first shop as well, surely i take it cos as soon as i get flat mult i shld live until i can get it online

[valid abyss]

i think you misheard the question my guy

[sudden prairie]

Idk if yall know, but ecto = more jonkler

why WOULDNT you

[valid abyss]

as an echoplasm lover

[left juniper]

It could be worse

[eternal anchor]

this is funnier than it has any right to be

[valid abyss]

you sell your bad jonklers to land the ecto somewhere right

[eternal anchor]

I'm gonna say that when I get cornered in any argument now

[ivory sun]

she came back i always hit the ecto

[eternal anchor]

gg

[valid abyss]

hit the woah

[craggy gale]

Immediately hits the 0.1%

[ivory sun]

cavendish has the chance to do the most funny thing ever rn

[valid abyss]

im going to fill your joker slots with 5000 oops all sixes

[eternal anchor]

I actually once had Cavendish die on me but I had an Oops all 6s

[unreal iron]

isnt the chance of getting cavendish right after michel dying like pretty high

[craggy gale]

Dude you can’t just-

[unreal iron]

its happened to me like 4 times if i recall

[ivory sun]

most of my mult is coming from lucky cards anyways so it’s not that bad that she left the first time

[valid abyss]

why would you ever spin the wheel with a blueprint

second question

[eternal anchor]

supposedly it's a common but I rarely ever find it then
In my Erratic run from earlier I found Gros Michel ante 2, made it all the way to ante 10 and never found Cavendish

[left juniper]

F is for Fun

[unreal iron]

so it hits vagabond .w.

[valid abyss]

please dont take the baron

[sudden prairie]

Those instances probably just stick out to you because of how good they must have felt

[craggy gale]

Low money for vagabond shenanigans

[left juniper]

Baron Blueprint Stencil will carry trust

[unreal iron]

i remember other instances of michelle taking 6 antes to die or never finding cavendish after it dies ante 1

ive also had a cavendish die to me it was so bad

[sudden prairie]

Yes, because those felt bad lol

[unreal iron]

i was raging so hard

[valid abyss]

michelle left me

[craggy gale]

Honestly it might but with a level 2 high card it’s uh

Rough

[sudden prairie]

that's just another case of bias

[left juniper]

Yeah Baron bait for sure. But its fun

[sudden prairie]

this is the true mark of a balatro gamer. Idc about c++++

[nova mantle]

do i drop astronomer for this cartomancer

[unreal iron]

you take michelle when you find it like 80% of the time anyways

[sudden prairie]

that's a fortune teller

[unreal iron]

funny how im going for c++++

[left juniper]

Where cartomancer

[valid abyss]

uhh

if you think your levels are good

then surr

[nova mantle]

sorry fortune teller

[valid abyss]

as a csrtomancer hi

[nova mantle]

i get confused with the english names

[eternal anchor]

The first time I learnt of Cavendish's existence and read its description, ngl I burst out laughing

[sudden prairie]

Damn, all good bro :\ my b

[eternal anchor]

I didn't know it only appears after Gros Michel goes extinct

[unreal iron]

vagabond fortune teller ship

[nova mantle]

well const is at x1.6 rn

[left juniper]

If you need scoring then definitely take Fortune Teller over Astronomer. +37 mult is a good base and I assume your Constellation is decent at the moment? You could also drop the Oops maybe?

[valid abyss]

i like to think that when someone anywhere in the world snaps a random gros michel goes extinct

[nova mantle]

eh, oops is actually boosting my scoring a lot due to chad and AJ

[left juniper]

Could sell Oops for Fortune Teller 🤷 Keep Astro Boy for Constellation

[valid abyss]

i dont think you should

[left juniper]

Do you have Lucky Cards?

[valid abyss]

you'll find another fortune teller later if you really want it

[nova mantle]

i think ill leave it for now

[unreal iron]

lucky cards and no lucky cat

[nova mantle]

a lot of em

[unreal iron]

so lucky

[left juniper]

Ah gotcha

[scenic mortar]

i love trans people

[nova mantle]

my boy hasn't appeared in the shop

yet.

[left juniper]

Yeah probs leave it then. Jupiter levels would be best

[unreal iron]

lucky cat is gone when you need it the most

[crisp knot]

does anyone know how to download cryptid

[nova mantle]

aighty thanks

[unreal iron]

go to the github page probably owo

[nova mantle]

i just had him last run so its fair if its resting lmao

[left juniper]

#⚙・modding-general

[subtle loom]

lucky run

[unreal iron]

2nd c++ is all fun and games until you get to the 130/150 point again and have to use shitty uncommons and time your shops for food items

this is gonna be fun

[proven gulch]

god i hate pairs

[unreal iron]

said no one ever

[silver canopy]

what mod has those chips on the jokers

[proven gulch]

they're like hc but sometimes they miss

[unreal iron]

enable stake sticker during run

its a setting

[silver canopy]

ah

[ivory sun]

mmmmmm xmult on xmult on xmult on xmult action

[unreal iron]

yeah theyre less powerful with less hands

[unreal iron]

oh im xmulting it

[ivory sun]

do i take a showman for the big funny

[unreal iron]

well you gotta score 300k incase of vv

if you are scoring 300k then funny

[ivory sun]

lemme check

[proven gulch]

i just did a 71 pair game and it kept missing

[ivory sun]

268k

[proven gulch]

never again

[unreal iron]

per hand?

[ivory sun]

yeah

[unreal iron]

good enough

[sudden prairie]

finally a better chips joker than this hiker

[unreal iron]

those pair spam games are the worst

was it like vagabond or something

and you fucked up on the eye...?

im trying to guess here since those cost me runs before 3:

[ivory sun]

i got another chad

[sudden prairie]

every game is the worst ig

I'm literally playing straights lol

nvm

[unreal iron]

bro has never experienced a strush run

[serene forge]

redditor buffoon pack be like:

[unreal iron]

doing a good strush run is like losing your virginity icl

everything unveils to you

[serene forge]

it's true i got a girlfriend after playing my first successful strush run

[unreal iron]

throw it back

[unreal iron]

huh i got a boyfriend

how coincidental

[cunning glen]

wtf why cant I get pulls like that (but tbh take party joker and skip all the blinds)

[unreal iron]

wrong!!!

i mean its white stake you can probably do that actually

[serene forge]

ooo thats awesome

[sudden prairie]

hmmmmmmm

[cunning glen]

might as well take bannaa

bananana*

[unreal iron]

yeah why not

just gotta get interest tho

[sudden prairie]

I def want it but idk what to sell

[solid tapir]

chaos perhaps

[unreal iron]

hiker, chaos

[cunning glen]

aint no one liking my opinions huh-

[solid tapir]

not hiker

[sudden prairie]

yall really like this damn walkie, huh?

Well it's foil

[unreal iron]

i mean throwback isnt a very good joker

[solid tapir]

well walkie only because its foil

[sudden prairie]

but hiker+runner+straight is more than enough chips

[solid tapir]

then sell walkie fr

[unreal iron]

lowkey walkie could have synergy with 4oak 10s

and lucky cards

just speculating

[solid tapir]

tfw runner

[cunning glen]

i mean it rly depends if ur speedrunning or not tbh

and if ur skipping a lot

[sudden prairie]

you don't like runner?

[solid tapir]

no Im saying mysk said 4oak when you have runner lol

I love runner

[unreal iron]

you dont usually speedrun in balatro .w.

[ivory sun]

67 card purchases…coincidence or just another sign

[jagged torrent]

Oh nvm stunt man

[unreal iron]

and even then you'd rather have a BUNCH of other stuff rather than throwback

[jagged torrent]

I thought he was negative lmao

[solid tapir]

you speedrun white stake to show the plebians that white stake is baby stake

[unreal iron]

^^^

[solid tapir]

I did a white stake blue deck speedrun and won with high card

sub 7 minutes

very proud of myself

[sudden prairie]

honestly maybe it is hiker :\

[unreal iron]

sometimes anaglyph deck fucking hits with the skips

getting 7 orbital tags to nuke the boss

[solid tapir]

if you've had enough chips from him then sure

[unreal iron]

4oak

[sudden prairie]

I love the man, but maybe he's outclassed by planets and runner

[unreal iron]

ill never forget that run

[sudden prairie]

plus, walkie can potentially pivot and I keep the runner chips

hmm

[solid tapir]

I had this once on anaglyph

even though I wasn't playing pairs

they went from level 1 to 25

[sudden prairie]

you're playin em now

[unreal iron]

i was about to lose considering my pairs werent scoring enough points and i didnt have any 4oak levels

[solid tapir]

lol

[solid tapir]

clutch

[sudden prairie]

I hate decision making dang

[unreal iron]

why is bro playing balatro then

[sudden prairie]

Real

[north schooner]

I stumbled into one, just now, like accidentally walking in on your roommate
#🕹・game-discussion message

[sudden prairie]

I'm a gaming masochist tbh

[unreal iron]

rare seance strush run???

[solid tapir]

this was the situation

and this was the deck

[unreal iron]

funny thing is strushes dont benefit from most of the spectrals

[solid tapir]

final boss

[unreal iron]

so seance is even worse in that case

[solid tapir]

oop forgot to reply to this

[sudden prairie]

Wait, why are you even playing them if not for seance ?

[unreal iron]

high scoring potential

[solid tapir]

scoring

the run I replied to was a royal flush run

[sudden prairie]

isn't it just easier to play n fix straights

[unreal iron]

lvl 30 strushes if you can manage is like 1000 chips and like some fuckton of mult

i dont remember the scaling of strushes

iirc its +20/4?

[solid tapir]

if the shop keeps giving you neptune

then you know what you must do

[unreal iron]

yes BUUUUT hitting a strush run

[sudden prairie]

4/40

damn

[solid tapir]

case in point

[unreal iron]

is actual dopamine

[sudden prairie]

I feel the opposite of yall on this I think. High card runs are like my pie in the sky

the worst hand becoming the best?

that's so much better than the best hand being good

[solid tapir]

high card is like pairs

[sudden prairie]

but funnier

[solid tapir]

also high card is not one of the worst hands fr

the worst hand only is full house

[sudden prairie]

The literal worst hand in poker

[solid tapir]

fr

[sudden prairie]

not Balatro

[unreal iron]

i mean i can see an argument for high card considering its usually harder to play than pairs since their scaling is god awful +10/1?

[solid tapir]

okay well

poker

[solid tapir]

grimbo when high card

[sudden prairie]

It's just so goofy to play 1 card and win

[solid tapir]

this is true

[unreal iron]

you still spam pairs with grimbo ;3

[solid tapir]

ofc

mercury is my goat

[sudden prairie]

walkie gone

[solid tapir]

also if you want high card dopamine you should speedrun white stake

[north schooner]

How it started ^^

How it's going vv

[solid tapir]

someone beat the violent vessel with a 5/5 seance build

[unreal iron]

oh youre dead

[north schooner]

Kinda miffed I missed those blue seals tho

[unreal iron]

wait huh???

5 seances?

[solid tapir]

here it is

[unreal iron]

am i reading this right

[sudden prairie]

I guess for yall it's about enabling access to the least accessible hand?

I get that

[solid tapir]

you are reading that right

[sudden prairie]

high card is just always there, so who cares

[unreal iron]

4 seances and a bp*

[solid tapir]

same thing fr

[narrow wadi]

this better be enough lol, it was hard af picking up driver's license ante 1 then getting barely any card enhancements (only got active on ante 6)

[jagged torrent]

Thanks Obama

[solid tapir]

gl

baron

[robust fulcrum]

Should I get the nanners

[jagged torrent]

He isn't doing shit

[solid tapir]

I can see that

[narrow wadi]

it was enough, i got one +20 mult before the glass which honestly might've been the difference

[solid tapir]

nice

gold stake next

[nova mantle]

little bit of trivia, name all jokers in this image

[narrow wadi]

yup, this is the second to last deck i need to finish all the stakes on

[solid tapir]

awesome

good luck

[narrow wadi]

i lost 1 run up to gold stake on green so far, it's been a pretty easy one

nearly lost this one

if i had worse luck and driver's license/ trousers were disabled more than once each i would've lost lol

my supernova was only like +40ish

[left juniper]

Gary, Dave, John, Johnny, Bob, Shaun, Shawn, Sean, Adam, Bobby, Jimothy, Smiling Stu, Lyle, Kyle, Jyle, Kris.

[north schooner]

nah I've still got a little fight left in me

[solid tapir]

Seltzer, Ancient, Supernova, Blueprint, Lucky cat, Drunkard, Scholar ?, idk, Abstract, Mime ?, banner, Smiley ?, Golden Joker, idk, idk, Wily

[left juniper]

Kinda easy

[narrow wadi]

i honestly feel like brainstorm isn't that good on high stakes, but with foil it's still an auto pickup

[robust fulcrum]

Guys do I get the nanners

[solid tapir]

I mean

you can replace trio

lol

but it seems useless at this stage

if you can reliably draw 3oak

[left juniper]

Whats Holo on?

[solid tapir]

or whatever your hand is

[unreal iron]

blueprint ancient joker supernova brainstorm wily joker lucky cat abstract joker smiley face business card raised fist even steven sly joker mime scholar

[sudden prairie]

punished for selling walkie 🙁

[unreal iron]

thats all i can see and name

[unreal iron]

#alwayspunished

[left juniper]

Me when someone stole all my punctuation

[solid tapir]

no point in replacing holo even if it is at 1.5x, it will outscale banana soon enough

[unreal iron]

i cant be bothered

[robust fulcrum]

1.75 + poly

[jagged torrent]

I would be fine with it but I couldn't get the reroll vouch

[narrow wadi]

the anti egg lmao, this might be the worst joker i have ever seen

[jagged torrent]

7 rounds skipped for it

[unreal iron]

its actually a solid pickup

not even kidding

[left juniper]

Holo is better but Trio is funnier

[jagged torrent]

Even sold my mime for a double tag

[solid tapir]

where is business card coming from

[unreal iron]

permanent temperamce value

[unreal iron]

in the shop?

[north schooner]

You had 7 voucher skips?

[unreal iron]

name all the jokers in the image?

[narrow wadi]

this is not worth losing $3 every round on a useless eternal

[jagged torrent]

Double tags

[solid tapir]

ahhhh

[unreal iron]

ITS NOT USELESS

[solid tapir]

I didn't read that part fr

[jagged torrent]

And 3 other in the run

[unreal iron]

EGG IS SO FUCKING GOOD

[solid tapir]

I just assumed it was all the jokers in the line up

[narrow wadi]

it's eternal and rental lol

[solid tapir]

lol

[frank raft]

FELLOW TV PLAYER

[narrow wadi]

i can't sell it and it costs me money every round

[unreal iron]

maybe skip idk i'd personally cop that

especially on green deck

[solid tapir]

depends on how much money they have

[frank raft]

bonus round: name all the jokers in this one

[unreal iron]

you dont need to ever sell it???

[narrow wadi]

you would pickup an eternal rental egg??? like u need to be getting so much temperances

[solid tapir]

if they aren't doing so hot on econ maybe eternal rental egg is not the play

[unreal iron]

it pays for itself after a temperance

[unreal iron]

also yes??? ever heard of purple seals?

[narrow wadi]

it pays for itself after a temperance after like 3 rounds, it will kill me before that

[solid tapir]

idk all I see is temperance value

[unreal iron]

or tarot gen jokers?

[sudden prairie]

we are few but we are strong

[unreal iron]

youre on green deck you can get away with it

i think

[solid tapir]

no

[frank raft]

no other use for the jokers in hand

[solid tapir]

not in every scenario

[solid tapir]

yup

[jagged torrent]

A temp? Do you play gold stake?

Or is he just memeing?

[unreal iron]

my guy im going for a second c++

what do you think

[solid tapir]

@narrow wadi Hello Billy, I hope you did not end up taking the rental eternal egg

[narrow wadi]

i did not lol, i appreciated that even with temperance value it is a goddamn awful joker

[jagged torrent]

Mods take their c++ away and make them play gold stake black deck for all eternity

[solid tapir]

egg is great as an eternal

[unreal iron]

why the fuck would you do that

[solid tapir]

but in this situation

[narrow wadi]

not as a rental eternal

[solid tapir]

on green deck

[unreal iron]

i sentence you to gold stake plasma deck

[narrow wadi]

i might've picked it up as just eternal

[unreal iron]

for eternity

[solid tapir]

that is fair

[vocal rose]

thats what im subjecting myself to rn

black deck++

[solid tapir]

I see this as an absolute win

[unreal iron]

a fate worse than death

[narrow wadi]

i felt like i would die before i cld get enough value from temperance

[jagged torrent]

Nooo still a little bit better than black deck

[solid tapir]

you most likely would

[jagged torrent]

Machosim++

[solid tapir]

guys gold stake plasma isn't even that bad

it's actually fun

[unreal iron]

said no one ever

[solid tapir]

said me

the plasma enjoyer

[unreal iron]

try beating vv

[solid tapir]

done it

many times

hehe

[jagged torrent]

Says the person who told someone to chips their way though gold plasma 💔

[left juniper]

Dunno why you think an eternal rental egg is somehow good for temperance value. You're getting back the money the egg took from you. That is just neutral money. Have it for long enough and your temperance caps out so you're only losing 🤷

[solid tapir]

alright that wasn't an "always do chips"

I added that xmult should be something they should look for

[cold remnant]

lol

[jagged torrent]

They are a fake plasma enjoyed fr 😔

[solid tapir]

only for safety against vv

[cold remnant]

Lmao even

[solid tapir]

this is lies and slander

[cold remnant]

Why does this keep happening

😭

[solid tapir]

because bloodstone is ass

lol

[left juniper]

But if someone can enlighten me on the smart maths of keeping an eternal rental egg for temperance value please let me know

[jagged torrent]

Just get lucky fr

[sudden prairie]

HMMMMMMMM

[solid tapir]

true

[narrow wadi]

do i sell brainstorm here? i have no econ and 2 rentals wld make it very hard to scale constellation

[sudden prairie]

I'm just pondering this whole fucking run, no actual gameplay

💀

[kind creek]

hello where is the shop decision help hotline

[solid tapir]

sure

[narrow wadi]

idt brainstorm is good enough on gold to justify keeping

[jagged torrent]

Can you score without it? Than go for it

[left juniper]

You found it. People will talk a lot of shit until someone seriously needs help. Step right up

[solid tapir]

in your situation it is better to just sell bs

it will come around

smile

[sudden prairie]

Green Day riff

[narrow wadi]

ty for the help, i assumed it was the right play, it just hurts to sell brainstorm lol

[shy abyss]

green deck can eat rentals

[solid tapir]

its ok frfr

[unreal iron]

usually its worth it if you have interest and actually good tarot gen

[narrow wadi]

2 rentals with no econ wld make it rly hard to scale constellation

idt brainstorm is worth it

[sudden prairie]

Your deck is sorta Econ

not great

[solid tapir]

you need to find some money gen

[shy abyss]

but with a stuntman and halfsies to copy you should be consistently one shotting stuff

[sudden prairie]

but like, it's there

[left juniper]

But you're losing $3 to MAYBE get it back in Temperance value lol

[unreal iron]

thats why you use tarot generation if you can owo

higher chances of actually finding temperance to begin with

[kind creek]

On one hand, I desperately need scoring here and usually win by playing pair twice and misprint doing miracles to the base mult
on the other, Midas mask + Gold ticket + soc + Dusk would let me get some planets and better mult

[solid tapir]

if you can afford a rental eternal egg, why not.

unless you have better econ options

I don't see the downside

[shy abyss]

is that bait

[unreal iron]

oof you gotta replace misprint

[left juniper]

Yeah so you need more temperances than rounds with egg to balance it out

[solid tapir]

just take grimbo

fr

actually you have midas mask

you can take ticket

[shy abyss]

rental eternal gift card i could see but rental eternal egg

[solid tapir]

play some gold cards, and then do your hack cards

also that build is so confusing

you've got some split identity shit going on there

[left juniper]

If your cards are already gold why not sell Midas for ticket? Or Hack if you wanna focus on Face cards? Although you will lose some baseball card value

[solid tapir]

if one can afford it, why not.

I've won runs with rental eternal egg

because

[kind creek]

I am very scared of losing baseball value here, might die

[shy abyss]

-3$ per round, -1 joker slot are downsides

[sudden prairie]

I think I sell hiker for foil bus unfortunately :\

[solid tapir]

don't need jokers to win this game

[sudden prairie]

I love this man, but he never sticks around

[solid tapir]

painted should teach us this

[left juniper]

You could sell Jolly (I think thats the leftmost) for ticket and hope Misprint clutches up

[solid tapir]

I've won games with eternal wily, eternal sly

they aren't doing shit late game

[shy abyss]

eternal wily and eternal sly keep you alive

[cold remnant]

zamn

[solid tapir]

but a rental eternal egg has value even in the late game

[kind creek]

best hand so far was 14.434

[sudden prairie]

I'd rather die early than fizzle out late

[shy abyss]

eternal rental egg gives you good temperances 10 rounds from now in exchange for compounding interest and potentially not being able to take better value generators

[narrow wadi]

now this is goated econ

[solid tapir]

me dying to stinky bb after my 45m run

[left juniper]

If you have Madness sometimes you pick some stupid eternals too. I had an eternal Abstract and Todo List with Madness 🤷 I was desperate for +3 flat mult for the Abstract early to help Madness

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[solid tapir]

valid

abstract is my goat anyways

[solid tapir]

it's technically positive money but I still hate it

the rental fee applies before you get the money 🥀

[left juniper]

I feel like people underrate Abstract and Summit early

[narrow wadi]

for round 1 pickups i like summit and michel the best

[solid tapir]

those are great early pickups fs

[shy abyss]

who is people

[solid tapir]

I've seen some people say stuff like that

[left juniper]

You wouldn't know them, they go to a different school

[narrow wadi]

michel can be risky and all but u want it to pop for late game anyway

[solid tapir]

as long as michel doesn't leave me when I need her

once I get more scoring she can go to the salon for her glow up whenever she likes

sooner rather than later, preferably.

[marsh goblet]

im running 3oak but im getting an insane amount of money from merry andy + faceless. i definitely want this duo cuz im starting to fall behind on scoring. what goes? red card is +45 because of my insane econ, 3oak is level 8 (170x17)

[sudden prairie]

I stopped taking mystic for a bit. When I was new it seemed really good, when I learned enough to know I knew nothing I thought it was bad for some reason

[solid tapir]

just sell mery andy then

[narrow wadi]

my last 2 michel runs it lasted like 14 rounds which was rly annoying lol

[solid tapir]

selling red card is a mistake

and you can still get money from faceless

plus its holo

[solid tapir]

ouf

[marsh goblet]

oh good point, less money but i have enough lol

[solid tapir]

yep

and with the extra hand size returning to you

faceless will still be reliable

[shy abyss]

do you need andy to be able to consistently play multiple 3oak

[robust fulcrum]

Blessed seed

[solid tapir]

this is a good question to ask actually

because based on that you might need to sell faceless then

[solid tapir]

looks inside

[left juniper]

@kind creek We the people demand an update. Hows the run going?

[solid tapir]

but I think with 5 hands and the discards they have, it can still be reliable

[robust fulcrum]

Wait what should I drop for sock

[solid tapir]

are you playing a full hand of face cards

[robust fulcrum]

Yeah

[solid tapir]

sell holo

[left juniper]

Holo

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[sudden prairie]

I wish seed money was displayed on the hud somehow

[narrow wadi]

if you tower a face card does it still count as a face card with ride the bus? i assume it doesn't but like it is still technically a face card

[sudden prairie]

I always spend down to $25 instinctually and then feel bad

[solid tapir]

nope

a stone card is a stone card

[shy abyss]

andy also makes it much safer to transition to 4oak which might be a good idea

[kind creek]

Internet is pretty bad, I am trying to send the beautiful draw I had on the small blind
basically I got four gold kings after using all of my discards and one hand as an extra discard, then I used a pocket death to make it five of a king and got out with 62 dollars

shop (after some costly rerolls) had an abstract with 21 mult on it, instant misprint replacement

[solid tapir]

I like money

[kind creek]

ah, there it is

[left juniper]

Please no hot takes here

[solid tapir]

this whole channel is hot takes

[robust fulcrum]

Yall think this is the best way to order my jokers

[terse gyro]

broken ass seed, blueprint on the first shop and a natural polychrome merry andy

[solid tapir]

put one copy on chad

[left juniper]

Beautiful. If you can replace Hack with different uncommon that would also add some scoring it would be so good

[kind creek]

true

no uncommons so far sadly

[left juniper]

No don't do this 👀

[solid tapir]

that is also a possibility

[left juniper]

Playing the card, chad and sock is 4 triggers. Double copy photo is 3 scoring. Don't copy chad

[solid tapir]

actually yeah this is right

3:3

my bad @robust fulcrum

[sudden prairie]

I spent to $25 again 🙁

[shy abyss]

6 * 2 = 4 * 3 in fact

[solid tapir]

I want to check the calc for this

cuz sock is one retrigger

[marsh goblet]

i think blue seals are a little busted chat

[left juniper]

Maybe with 2025 math but back in my day...

[shy abyss]

so copying chad is marginally better for chips and meaningfully better if you have enhancements

[valid abyss]

balatro

[kind creek]

4×3=12
6×2=12 + 20 more chips

[solid tapir]

Okay so I was right

[shy abyss]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[left juniper]

Yeah but this is the internet in 2025 so I can't admit I'm wrong but instead I'll attack you and your character

[solid tapir]

@robust fulcrum here

[sudden prairie]

spent so long thinking about that run to lose to ante 4 water :\ I'm gonna play without thinking now wish me luck

[solid tapir]

fair enough

[kind creek]

I may be blind

[marsh goblet]

dawg my 3oak levels have almost caught up with my +60 red card

[left juniper]

Good mathing though. A lesson learned. My b

[solid tapir]

allg

[shy abyss]

"balance scoring and triggers" is like "balance chips and mult", it's only a hard rule if you are distributing from equivalent total pools

idk if i worded that well but

3 x 3 < 2 x one million

[narrow wadi]

is dna a pickup here? i can sell clever for it but idk if it's even worth

[sudden prairie]

Hell yeah 🙁

[narrow wadi]

i would only copy golds rn

[left juniper]

Lets all be honest though. The scoring is so high the "correct" copy doesn't matter (but I was still wrong due to maths)

[sudden prairie]

so excited 😢

what a great rare joker to see

[valid abyss]

see i KNEW i was right i always wondered why people copied photo

[solid tapir]

simply put

copy on scoring, copy on retrigger for 1:1

copy on scoring, copy on scoring, copy on retrigger for 2:1

copy on scoring, copy on scoring, copy on retrigger, copy on retrigger for 2:2

[valid abyss]

ok but what if we

[solid tapir]

you should copy photo in some situations

[valid abyss]

copy on RETRIGGER* twice

both blueprints on the uhhh

funny chad

[robust fulcrum]

Well while you guys were talking about that I made it to my new high score

Lmao

[marsh goblet]

im gonna sell a +63 red card

[robust fulcrum]

I don’t think a different order of jokers would’ve gotten me much further in terms of ante cause of the blind scaling at purple stake

[solid tapir]

your 3oak levels are good enough

[shy abyss]

now do it on a worse hand with a mult card in front 😄

[valid abyss]

oh copying only chad is a far worse score

[marsh goblet]

i also have a couple of steel cards

lol

this seed was SUPER fun

[sudden prairie]

Hell yeah 🙂

So excited 🥲

[marsh goblet]

i got holographic faceless first shop

[sudden prairie]

what a great rare joker to see

dies to boss

[solid tapir]

obviously this will be slightly different

[marsh goblet]

and then i couldn't afford wasteful cuz i messed up but then i got merry andy anyways and red card to abuse my huge cash pile

[robust fulcrum]

And with the glass cards too it’s hard to predict which order would be better

[solid tapir]

well not slightly, quite different with the mult enhancement

[marsh goblet]

alright time to play the annoying stake

[solid tapir]

if you have double photo

[shy abyss]

it's really not it's like middle school math

[solid tapir]

but with double photo you are copying chad anyways

[terse gyro]

playing the same seed on gold stake then white deadass is like going from mc hardcore survival to creative mode

[solid tapir]

it's a 1.4k difference with high card +4 mult king

[robust fulcrum]

I’m trying to play the game not do middle school math😭

[marsh goblet]

got shortcut on painted deck, time to play the "turn my entire deck into one suit" minigame

[solid tapir]

the same rule; however, still applies

[marsh goblet]

A NAT NEGATIVE ECON I CAN'T AFFORD NOOOO

[shy abyss]

now do it with a lucky card and dice

[narrow wadi]

picked up lucky cat ante 3, i am now 0 for like 30 with lucky procs

[cold remnant]

Oh wow

I won :o

[solid tapir]

it's gonna be similar regardless twin 😭

[floral mural]

youre not gonna rely on a lucky card proc for score so youd run it the same unless youre overscoring and copy chad for more cash chance

[cold remnant]

Final setup

[shy abyss]

it's a joke

[shy abyss]

more evidence that negative is the worst edition

[solid tapir]

I personally took all these shenanigans light heartedly, but balatro players can't understand jokes

we can't read

[cold remnant]

Judgment kindly gave me the driver's license

[sudden prairie]

what're Pink Floyd fans on about, the wall literally sucks

[cold remnant]

Think I got hologram out of a judgment too

Idk, I beat gold stake yippee!

[jagged torrent]

No jonkling in public please

[jagged torrent]

So true

[subtle loom]

insane run

[subtle loom]

got a cryptid but thank god it wasnt nesscary

and bonus tarot card

[jagged torrent]

Nat vv or did you reroll for it?

[subtle loom]

i was kinda scsred about the acorn

[subtle loom]

nat

no reroll

[solid tapir]

eh, acorn not a real boss blind most of the time

since we have hands, we can determine where are jonklers are

[subtle loom]

wait i meant leaf

[solid tapir]

ah

[subtle loom]

acorn is piss easy

[subtle loom]

i dont wanna sell madness

[solid tapir]

your scoring seems to be coming from your jokers

so idk

[uncut slate]

also 90% of builds are just mult on the left so u just grab ur mult jimbo and drag him around

[solid tapir]

doesn't seem neccesary to sell anything

[junior jasper]

how many gros michels do you think i can fit into my joker slots before my school computer crashes

[solid tapir]

at least 1

[subtle loom]

well madness scaled far

so its kinda risky ig

[solid tapir]

nawr

[wind jolt]

Maximum of 38619

[solid tapir]

people sell jokers for leaf for no reason so many times

[jagged torrent]

My kings are at 700 chips

[solid tapir]

hiker maxing

[junior jasper]

yesterday my maximum was 188 before my game crashed

so is 187 the limit

or was it an off day

[jagged torrent]

Chips maxing on plasma like god intended

[junior jasper]

you have a very tuff name

[narrow wadi]

ok just need to gold stake black deck now

[solid tapir]

I am happy with this

[solid tapir]

easy

black deck gs got nothing on you fr

you got this

[junior jasper]

showman is so strange to see because like surely it increases the chances for you to get jokers you already have

[solid tapir]

I want 5 mercury's in my celestial pack

ty

[junior jasper]

theres no shot they just happen to show up now that i have showman when i looked for it without showman

[subtle loom]

almost thought runs over on ante 9

[junior jasper]

wish granted (im a genie)

[solid tapir]

bless

[junior jasper]

im an intern though im not blue yet

more like

grayish

[subtle loom]

somehow got a full house

[junior jasper]

is that cryptid waiting for destiny

[subtle loom]

it was supposed to help on vv

but i beat it without

[junior jasper]

what does ur card deck look like

[subtle loom]

thinks run actually over now

[narrow wadi]

what are the chances of 8 business card procs in a row?

surely very low

[silver canopy]

first black stakewin :yay:

[junior jasper]

1/256

[narrow wadi]

eh not too low tbh

still lucky

[junior jasper]

my calc says so

(calc is short for calculator)

[marsh goblet]

the eye is such a brutal boss blind

[solid tapir]

this is true

[junior jasper]

[marsh goblet]

the eye my behated

[junior jasper]

what if you could fix hanging chad to make it standing chad and it was just a guy who commented on your gameplay

[subtle steppe]

😟

[junior jasper]

you also have a tuff name

[solid tapir]

this build doesn't know what it wants to be

[junior jasper]

also what am i looking at

[solid tapir]

split identity disorder

[terse gyro]

im wondering, you know how you only get seeds of legendary cards that you dont have the gold sticker for, does this apply to the other rare common, and uncommon jokers, like you have more of a chance of getting those

[subtle loom]

NVM I BEAT ANTE 10

[subtle loom]

the answer is no

[solid tapir]

I think this only applies for legendaries

[subtle loom]

so its easier to gold sticker

[junior jasper]

ty

[lunar zealot]

No

[subtle loom]

look at this btw

[junior jasper]

hologram carries once again

[terse gyro]

ah ok

[junior jasper]

easy sauce light work

[subtle loom]

madness*

[solid tapir]

yah

[junior jasper]

shhh

[kind creek]

you can't get legendaries you beat gold stake with until you get it on all of them?

[terse gyro]

so for the rare, uncommons, and commons, you just have to reroll aggresseively

[restive plover]

hark, blessed be! a card of credit in the shop!

[terse gyro]

insane shop

[junior jasper]

blueprint joker smiling already 😭

[restive plover]

i came in with $6 i'm goated

[junior jasper]

hes reading the credit card number

[left juniper]

Yeah exactly. So you could in theory get 4 legendary jokers with a gold sticker and then always know what a Soul will give you (on gold stake) and sell it before winning

[lunar zealot]

[junior jasper]

i've been lied to too many times, @grok is this true

Would mr thunk be mad if I put cavendish as my bank card background?

should i take another riff raff just for funsies?

[junior jasper]

i have gros michel on my revolut card

[cloud sinew]

1/60 per pull, assuming golden ticket is in the pool

[kind creek]

Campfire would go so crazy here

a few negatives on those riffraffs

[junior jasper]

my expired one at least

[minor roost]

I might have canvendish and are asking after the fact 😬

Kinda lucky your card hasn’t gone extinct

[marsh goblet]

i bought an earth in the second shop and it somehow saved the run

[junior jasper]

had a scare with oops all sixes and almost lost it

[cloud sinew]

i think its completely fine because its personal use

[junior jasper]

$15 everytime i use it is tuff tho

AU gros michel

yknow it never appear foe me

oops all sixes and bloodstone makes blood run through my stone

[cloud sinew]

I will!

[alpine hollow]

It saved my ass in 5 Card Draw, against the Eye

It was cinema

[cloud sinew]

white stake 😭 never cook again

[alpine hollow]

??

[junior jasper]

187 polychrome gros michels versus 180 cavendish

[alpine hollow]

I can’t tell if that’s sarcasm

[cloud sinew]

it isnt sarcasm

[narrow wadi]

ngl this the most cursed build, no +mult lol

[cloud sinew]

i very rarely do sarcasm without putting a tone indicator, autism be damned.

[subtle loom]

oop all sixes nevwr appearr

[kind creek]

I find it beautiful that a splash of water is one of the best jokers to compliment a flower pot

[junior jasper]

is card sharp doing it

[alpine hollow]

I agree!

[narrow wadi]

yup, with burnt on pairs base mult x3 is enough

[junior jasper]

im card sharping it so good

[cloud sinew]

too bad the combo rarely appears because they're both bad jokers 🔥

flowerpot just needs to be any 3 and its fixed

[alpine hollow]

They are both amazing jokers

[junior jasper]

card sharp was a carry when i started playing balatro on checkered deck for the first few times

[narrow wadi]

i'm not avoiding +mult just not finding it lol

[alpine hollow]

4 is simple

[cloud sinew]

are we being fr right now

[kind creek]

hiker also loves some hydration, splash isn't so bad

[alpine hollow]

Yes

[cloud sinew]

splash and flowerpot are bottom 25 jokers

[alpine hollow]

Spamming random shit is always fun

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[alpine hollow]

Especially if you find a glass card

[narrow wadi]

6s business cards is a pretty funny econ engine lol

[alpine hollow]

It’s (photograph) too strong for a common card

[cloud sinew]

are you ragebaiting or just incredibly naive

[serene forge]

whether you meant splash or photograph you are incredibly wrong

[junior jasper]

so we wrong

[alpine hollow]

I’m not rage baiting, so I must probably be naive

It’s X2 mult

[serene forge]

photograph is bad

[narrow wadi]

it's bad on higher scaling stakes

[serene forge]

x2 mult before mult jokers on one single card that has to be a face card

it's really bad

legit only usable with chad

[cloud sinew]

its 2x base mult

the only reason why photograph is used so much is because chad is so insanely overtuned

[junior jasper]

also the immediate blunder reaction made me laugh

well done amelia

[olive escarp]

So really the broken card is Chad?

[cloud sinew]

and chad is the only reason why the build doesnt just get gutted by Plant

[olive escarp]

Oh yea

[cloud sinew]

you can just get a non-face glass card and beat plant that way

[olive escarp]

Intlegcene

[subtle loom]

im alway pissed cuz its the only one i see for like 2 time

[kind creek]

is coming

you need to run.

[subtle loom]

besode bloodstone

[kind creek]

so many barons fell to this boss

[junior jasper]

also i made my first every perkeo particle accelerator last night and im very proud

if only i could stuff gros michel into the consumable section

[marsh goblet]

wtf is this seed bro 😭

how do u beat this shit

[cloud sinew]

what is this seed bro :3

[serene forge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/s/gzaVKqYlTx

[marsh goblet]

im just malding cuz i didn't win

after getting through 3 tough antes

had to pivot to a shoot the moon mime build to live with a whopping 4 queens in my deck

and i died to the hook

4TYJII6P if you want to try it tho

i don't exactly know what i did wrong tbh

[alpine hollow]

I think you needed more queens

Perhaps

[cloud sinew]

what deck were you playing on

[marsh goblet]

yeah but i didn't find any ways to get more queens

[marsh goblet]

painted deck

[cloud sinew]

alright

[terse gyro]

ice soup ah run

[marsh goblet]

im trying to gold stake painted deck and it's quite polarizing

[alpine hollow]

Lucky cat + Chad is a fun combo

[marsh goblet]

but i also really like it

[terse gyro]

im a believer in the lucky cards

[cloud sinew]

im taking lusty in the first shop and im taking the investment tag skip on the big blind

[marsh goblet]

THERE WAS AN INVESTMENT SKIP TAG? omg im so blind 😭

[cloud sinew]

:3

[marsh goblet]

nevermind i just have major skill issue

[restive plover]

got a canio, got a hanged man the next pack. yayyy

feel like everytime i pull canio hanged man becomes a .0003 chance

[lunar zealot]

how it started vs how it finished

[cloud sinew]

there was also an arrowhead when The Goad was ante 1, but im sticking with runner for now

[marsh goblet]

i had a run where i got canio but then died because of the eye. i got trading card the shop before the boss. the most painful part was that there was a trading card earlier in the run but i didn't take it because i didn't have enough room for anything other than scoring that was barely keeping me alive

[marsh goblet]

i see, chips were definitely an issue for me later in the run so runner is a good pick in hindsight

a foil golden joker was like half of my chips lol

[lunar zealot]

No reason not to take runner on painted

[marsh goblet]

true

[lunar zealot]

It's like the straight deck

[marsh goblet]

i kinda forgot that i was on painted

[north spindle]

i mean if you're running arrowhead
the plan is to do spade flushes right

[narrow wadi]

this is such a weird build, like it works cos of the 6s business card, lucky cat but it's just odd

[lunar zealot]

but on-scored sucks

[marsh goblet]

given that i don't think there's a better option than shoot the moon mime for mult later, something that doesn't lock you into a 5 card hand is probably better

[cloud sinew]

its painted deck, you can absolutely afford to be locked into a 5 card hand

[north spindle]

oh is this like a challenge

[marsh goblet]

true actually

[marsh goblet]

no, just letting her know about the seed i lost on. she's giving it a run for fun, and hopefully i can learn stuff from her run lol

[north spindle]

ohh

[marsh goblet]

yooo four fingers

four fingers my beloved this run boutta be lit

[cloud sinew]

supernova/runner & 2 saturns is scoring consistently, only issue is supernova being hand specific (there was a green joker earlier which wouldve been a good pick but you live and you learn)

[north spindle]

i mean i think in the situation pictured i take arrowhead bc strong and determine whether or not to dump runner at a later date

[marsh goblet]

wow you're playing this much differently than i did

i wonder if eternal supernova is takeable on painted

maybe it is if im going straight flush

but maybe i don't have the space for it with four fingers just making straight flushes easier

[cloud sinew]

supernova would not be the play there

given how fast neptune scales

[marsh goblet]

oh crap not supernova

uhhh

ace tarot

superposition

[cloud sinew]

gotcha

[marsh goblet]

they both have super in the name lol

i mean with enough planet levels i don't need scoring jokers

im supering my position rn

[north spindle]

i took superpos and kept it till the end on gs before and like
got good use out of it

[cloud sinew]

steel joker from a judgement, that's my xmult sorted

[north spindle]

pretty sure i had shortcut or something? it was definitely easier to make straights for some reason

[marsh goblet]

JUDGEMENT HAD A STEEL JOKER?? 😭

man i just played the run really unfortunately huh

also lowkey im considering cutting middle cards since im on painted deck and can make straights pretty easily anyways, i just want more superposition hands

[subtle steppe]

copying baron or mime which is better

[hushed mauve]

you split the copies

[cloud sinew]

if you already have superposition, this is a good shout.
otherwise, dont do that.

[hushed mauve]

idr exactly how you split it

[north spindle]

ive starred warming on judgement
like its bad but also a) if you have the slot it probably mostly refunds its cost if you pull a dud b) if you play it enough times you probably get lucky at some pt

[hushed mauve]

i think it's like 3 mime 2 baron

don't quote me

[cloud sinew]

judgement absolutely is not bad

stickerless jokers

[sudden prairie]

Anyone else love this guy?

one of my absolute favorite jokers fr

[marsh goblet]

yeah superposition is already proving super useful i just wanna lean into it

do i take runner if im going straight flush? i feel like planet levels just makes it kinda irrelevant

[sudden prairie]

Super position rocks, it gives you this positive feedback loop that lets you keep leaning into it

[north spindle]

ok but mostly it is generating some garbage that does very
little to help

[cloud sinew]

probably not

[narrow wadi]

rebate landing on 2 all 3 rounds i've had it with an unaltered deck

that's uh

0.04%

[marsh goblet]

i mean it's better than wrathful joker and it'll get 30 chips per turn so why not

[sudden prairie]

shoulda played around it

[narrow wadi]

or to be the same card 3 times in a row not necessarily the 2 is uh 0.6%

[narrow wadi]

nah it's fine drew a decent amount of 2s

[north spindle]

like its worth considering over weak tarots but outside of desperation plays the strong tarots are just usually better

[narrow wadi]

just funny

[cloud sinew]

this is a more apt calculation

[narrow wadi]

it's a less funny number though

[cloud sinew]

you wouldve been surprised regardless of the rank, it's that it hit the same rank three times in a row

[cloud sinew]

it's riff-raff lite

[narrow wadi]

hence the 0.6% for any rank

[cloud sinew]

yes i know

[subtle steppe]

crimson heart😟

[sudden prairie]

hmmm

runners good enough as generic chips, even if you're not necessarily playing straights

Yeah ?

I guess there's also nothing in my build that conflicts with playing straights

I'm murdering Andrew

[sudden prairie]

Gettin close there lol

Congrats tho 🙂

[marsh goblet]

man

deckfixing for straight flushes is hard

when the game only gives you deaths

like wow thank you more purple seals ig

the ocean is thirsty

hanged men and strengths are for the weak

[half folio]

Balatro balatres

[sudden prairie]

Blackboard on painted :\

I guess worth?

boss is the hook, that could help

Conflicts too much with DeGrat maybe

[mild hazel]

Hi guys, do you htink anaglyph deck is a good way to farm legendary joker golden token ? (to find legendary joker, so)

[restive plover]

god bless invis joker

[sudden prairie]

anyone taking an eternal rental hack in ante 2 ?

[restive plover]

absolute cinema

[haughty siren]

usually no

[sudden prairie]

Should've put burglar between the canios and fib far left for better symetry

[restive plover]

eh the order changes anyway at the start of the round

when i copy burger

[haughty siren]

unless you have fibonacci or something that generates money along with the retriggers

[sudden prairie]

Maybe this is wrong, but I don't think of hack as being especially good for beating ante 8...? It seems like I see "pros" use it for endless pushes more often

[sudden prairie]

but then you just swap burger out then back in from the canio Sammy

[haughty siren]

it’s pretty good combo if you focus on those ranks, wee joker, eightball, low straights and so on

[sudden prairie]

Wee 🥀

I never see him :\

[restive plover]

2 lazy

[sudden prairie]

Call me petah griffon

[restive plover]

this cloned canio has saved me from ante 11

ante 12 time

[haughty siren]

i wouldnt take it if you dont have anything going on

[sudden prairie]

I am also not taking this black board

[haughty siren]

what

insane

[sudden prairie]

you think I should 🥺

[haughty siren]

if you got standard deck you should

[sudden prairie]

my deck is painted and these hands are large

[ocean yoke]

hope i can succed on this shit post of a run

[mild hazel]

Anyone to help me please ?

[sudden prairie]

I think skipping on the arcana pack with lots of double tags is a good way to find legendary jokers

You could also just reset 🤷‍♀️

[ocean yoke]

should i take it

[mild hazel]

Currently thinking about reseting, just wanna end with my last missing joker before

[haughty siren]

resetting on yellow, blue or red deck might be easier

[sudden prairie]

Me: I don't want blackboard on painted deck, that's anti synergy

Also me:

[mild hazel]

When I reset should i do the small blind ?

[sudden prairie]

My beloved 😍

Always punished bro, should've taken hack

[haughty siren]

you can

i mean

if you got the skip on big blind

[sudden prairie]

perishable rebate > golden?

Probably no

[haughty siren]

usually yeah

[sudden prairie]

especially with green

[haughty siren]

nah

[sudden prairie]

interesante

[mild hazel]

But only in this way, so ?

[sudden prairie]

I also need the holo bc green is teeny

[haughty siren]

?

[sudden prairie]

Hot take: don't like the nickname grimbo

[haughty siren]

is your goal gold stake sticker on legendaries

[sudden prairie]

I think of Mr bones everytime

[eternal anchor]

same

I call him Green

[sudden prairie]

Squimbo tho?😚🤌

[eternal anchor]

don't like squimbo either, it sounds like an octopus

[sudden prairie]

nahhh it's sounds like an adorable lil guy doing his best

[eternal anchor]

that's wee

[sudden prairie]

his best is gods work btw, but he's humble

[mild hazel]

YYeah, but should I just play the first small blind just for look on the first boosters ?

[sudden prairie]

true, but squimbo common

squimbo is always there for you

wee is

tricky

[eternal anchor]

I had like 5 runs in a row where I found Square and I thought I was gonna go insane because I was tired as shit of playing 4 card hands
