[wintry ice]

crimson heart

[tardy spade]

depends on the situation

[shell dagger]

Basically mime has nothing to retrigger if parking didn’t trigger the first time

[fading cobalt]

What is a consistently annoying boss then

[mighty garden]

OHHHHHHHH i understand it now

[manic talon]

crimson heart is almost always the most annoying boss blind

[random ice]

But if Steel triggers it tells Mime to do a Parking check

[shell dagger]

Yes

[random ice]

Basically any Trigger tells Mime the card exists

[tardy spade]

flint

[wintry ice]

eye can also suck sometimes but that's entirely because of blue stake

[manic talon]

at best its a mild annoyance that wants you to waste some hands, at worst it ping-pongs between your best jokers

[fading cobalt]

That must mean water sucks aswell right?

[random ice]

I draft Suit Changer tarots for Eye

[manic talon]

and its RNG, which makes it so much worse than dying to VV

[random ice]

Sometimes to pull off a Flush house for it

[wintry ice]

water denies value at most for pair builds and can just kill a poorly deckfixed large hand build

[tardy spade]

dying to VV is annoying but it is a skill issue. Dying to crimson heart is much less a skill issue

[wintry ice]

vessel is tough but it's atleast fun to get past

[random ice]

Leaf can kill a Photochad if you walk in with 5 eternals, but that's on you

[manic talon]

acrobat/mr bones/dusk disabled at final hand, or god forbid crimson heart picks your loyalty card in the hand that it procs

[wintry ice]

if you're using on scoring builds you don't need all 5 slots in the first place

[manic talon]

worst part is you literally dont know if it will happen or not

[random ice]

Sometimes I take Negative Skip specifically to get fuel for Leaf, Ante 7 Negative Skip is meta for me as either Leaf insurance or Heart Mitigation, if I'm already scoring silly numbers

[tardy spade]

what if you sell the debuffed card

[wintry ice]

it's unnecessary at best for leaf

also glass cards are really good to have for heart

[tardy spade]

can crimson heart disable perished jokers?

[manic talon]

no it just skips it

[random ice]

If you are already scoring your 400k, it's best to look for insurance. That's my view

[wintry ice]

that explains why it only ever hit baseball and bus one time

[tardy spade]

also doesn't crimson disabling loyalty card cause buggy behaviour?

[random ice]

I love seeing Acorn, such a joke of a boss

[manic talon]

thats only a tech if youre running stencil, because after you play a hand crimson heart will pick a new joker and now you have less jokers so crimson heart is more likely to pick a good joker

[wintry ice]

acorn should unselect your jokers after they flip

[zinc willow]

Okay, I got one I've never seen before, its an infinite blueprint

[wintry ice]

that way it's atleast a puzzle

[random ice]

Click and drag tech gone rip

[manic talon]

the internal count of loyalty card still ticks down even when disabled, even though visually it doesnt, so when it gets disabled when loyalty is online, it will still wiggle on the next hand, but it doesnt give the Xmult

[tardy spade]

I know you can drag a joker when it shuffles to keep track of it. Can you also select a joker to keep track of it?

[wintry ice]

if you're fast enough

[manic talon]

if youre fast enough yes

[tardy spade]

so selecting a joker before entering doesn't work?

[zinc karma]

Fuck

[manic talon]

you click the blind enter, and before amber shuffles but after it flips your joker (iirc, i dont quite know the specifics cuz i just do the hold tech only, acorn already a joke as it is), you can select a joker, and it will be selected throughout the shuffle so you can keep track of one more joker

[tardy spade]

so what happens if you select a joker before entering blind?

[manic talon]

if you select a joker before you click enter, amber acorn just deselects it

[mighty garden]

why is every legendary joker always chicot 🥀

[manic talon]

thought of that part atleast

[tardy spade]

alright

[tardy spade]

it's a 1 in 5 chance

[manic talon]

man i wish

[mighty garden]

yeah ik its just the other ones are way more fun to play with

[turbid reef]

Is there anything I can do or should I reset the run? Can’t skip and can’t select any tarot card

[wispy hound]

new high score, also my card stats js for fun

[turbid reef]

Wrong screenshot

[tardy spade]

did you by chance relog after skipping for an arcana?

[turbid reef]

Closed the game after using death on the wrong card

[pale wolf]

if ur on steam theres a way to fix it

[turbid reef]

Guessing there isn’t a fix for mobile

[pale wolf]

nope runs bricked

[mighty garden]

is it a mod that i installed that changes "planet" on pluto to dwarf planet

[turbid reef]

Unfortunate. The run was looking good as well

[pale wolf]

no

[dire tapir]

how rare is it to get brainstorm

[pale wolf]

it's a rare

[mighty garden]

woahh, pluto ceres eris have dwarf planet and planet x has "planet?" thats cool

[pale wolf]

so it's 5% of Jokers

to get a rare, i mean

[dire tapir]

thanks

[nova mantle]

next boss is verdant leaf, i should sell swash right?

[pale wolf]

is purple joker more

depends on if you need fib +whatever its giving you

[golden panther]

Hi

[amber dragon]

DAMN!!!!

highest hand i've ever done by at least 5x

[dire tapir]

[tardy spade]

and the photochad

[amber dragon]

excelsior

[slow iris]

[cursive lion]

My greed with ankh and later on invisible paid off

[amber dragon]

damnn

zodiac deck op

[somber monolith]

[gusty maple]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo curseeeee youuuuuuuu

[tranquil otter]

jimbo build

[dire tapir]

JIMBO

[dire tapir]

how’d u do perkeo,es naneinf?

[tardy spade]

unfortunate. Not much you could have done there either since you had idol.
You could have tried using suit changers

[unborn cliff]

evolution

[tranquil otter]

true

[nova mantle]

numbers in their score? i clearly see many numbers in their score

[tardy spade]

baron-mime-serpent-burglar-blueprint-blueprint-brainstorm-brainstorm-dna-red_seal-steel-kings

simple

[violet bear]

Don’t talk to me, my son and my niece ever again

[gusty maple]

I was blind sighted, I shoulda done it in the small blind, I realized at the big blind

[tardy spade]

yeah pay attention to the boss blind

it might kill you

[gusty maple]

73.75 lucky cat and 8168 on my wee, I'll take it

[random ice]

Here we go lmao

[tardy spade]

my first ever billion-point hand was bloodstone, oops and blueprint

[pale wolf]

my first ever billion point hand was with hiker and splash and mime

[tardy spade]

.....what was mime copying?

[random ice]

Boss is bell

I'm gonna win

[pale wolf]

oh, raised fist

you rite

[tardy spade]

how did that get to 1 billion? There can't be enough scaling

[pale wolf]

i had a red seal

[tardy spade]

but no x mult?

[random ice]

LMAO

[pale wolf]

you could lose this

[random ice]

I have too many hearts to lose

[pale wolf]

💔

[pale wolf]

fake

[random ice]

Just bought Seltzer at the end to flex lmao

Seed is 72CL6ARV

I like how Photochad would have won anyway but I also got Bloodstone Sixes

And a Seltzer on top

The funny thing is, Photochad insured me against The Head and Bloodsixes insured me against the Plant

So I didn't actually NEED any boss reroll

Neither showed up anyway lmao

[lavish nacelle]

Diabolical

I almost lost that run tho

[random ice]

Love me an AJ run

[pale wolf]

mmm

bull rebate run

thats lobotomy econ
lobonomy

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[orchid comet]

mine was 4 holo (2 from shop & invis, then bp and brainstorm)

I still hate that my muscle memory made me play high card for dna and I lost to needle

[orchid comet]

I was increasing holo by 3 cards per round can u imagine that with 4 holo 😭

[unreal iron]

hitting 80 stickers

hmmmm

[fading cobalt]

I'm yet to find a good idol run

[unreal iron]

idol?

why

[mystic leaf]

hii!

[fading cobalt]

Wdym why

[mystic leaf]

ngl i feel like whenever i play plasma deck im not getting better at the game

[orchid comet]

my bloodstone says that's ai

[ocean lily]

for a sec i literaly thought this was bp 😭

[unreal iron]

like on gold stake?

[fading cobalt]

No at all

[orchid comet]

from the corner of my eye I did too

[manic talon]

you really had to work to get an idol run, and 9 times out 10 its worse than baron mime

[unreal iron]

it is calling...

like this CAN work

[ocean lily]

isnt barron mime like the only way to naninf?

[unreal iron]

i want the sticker dont x react me

[fading cobalt]

Dont fall for baron

[unreal iron]

i know its bait but like

kmasdkmjdasmkj

[ocean lily]

that would mean its best then any other possible build

[fading cobalt]

Perkeo, observatory

[random ice]

You can absorb one Eternal, not a second

If you didn't have the Eternal Riff Raff I'd say yes

[unreal iron]

fuck

[manic talon]

ehh, not really but, realistically yes, its the best way to get naneinf and the one thats way more reliable

[orchid comet]

perkeo cryptid

[random ice]

Perkeo observatory

[fading cobalt]

Hey I already said that

[random ice]

Ecto ankh Photochad / Stencil

Oops

[fading cobalt]

Tryna steal my credit

[ocean lily]

i doubt u will get naninf by cryptid-ing steel cards .-.

[orchid comet]

invis joker

[random ice]

Ankh Cola Steel cards

[manic talon]

ecto ankh stencil is so funny but also 100% a meme

[vagrant dawn]

I’ve seen someone do it lmao

[fading cobalt]

Perkeo, cryptid, mime, red seal?

[orchid comet]

u do with theeeee whatever joker gives mult for king in hand

[vagrant dawn]

you need a lot tho

[random ice]

Also double Chicot

[fading cobalt]

Its just a slightly different baron run

[ocean lily]

thats barron

[random ice]

Double Chicot NANEINF is possible still

Thanks Handsize glitch

[orchid comet]

isn't there a legendary for that too

[orchid comet]

I only know this one cuz of balatro university

[manic talon]

i mean chicot glitch and crimson heart bean glitch is still a baron mime run

[ocean lily]

it gives xmult when a face is destoryed

[random ice]

No really Google it

Spectred did it

[fading cobalt]

I know it from a world record naneinf run lol

[manic talon]

you need more than 2 chicot but yes

[random ice]

Manacle is undone twice

[fading cobalt]

Oh boy 10 handsize

[random ice]

Look just watch the videos he boss rerolls every ante and progressively increases Handsize

And it snowballs

The Handsize increase is enough to match Endless scaling

[fading cobalt]

Oh yeah cuz the hand size is permanent

[manic talon]

the handsize increase is permanent

[fading cobalt]

I forgot about that

[random ice]

Also I think Burglar Serpant can do NANEINF under the right circumstances? Or at least boost a Baron Mime

Fun fact: I've never actually done NANEINF, I was well on my way and after the 5000th shop reroll or whatever I got bored and bailed

Like it's a SLOG

I cannot be bothered

[manic talon]

probably the most consistent way to get naneinf if you dont do perkeo rerolls

[thick haven]

lol?

[amber dragon]

hey buddy there are numbers in my score

i think you mean letters

[heavy aspen]

Is there any feasable way to clutch this 😭

I have not had a single hand available other than high card last hands

[fringe warren]

Pair of queens then add on the 2 5 and 8 for raised fist

You're probably screwed but that's the best hand

[left juniper]

Where is your xMult hiding

[heavy aspen]

since when can you have multiple cards for raised fist lmao

[heavy aspen]

my pants joker?

[pale wolf]

percryo

[heavy aspen]

36

[left juniper]

You play the 2,5,8 so fist picks the 9

[heavy aspen]

lost

That was one of my best runs 😭

[fair glade]

yo WHAT is going on bro 😭 🙏 ⁉️

[left juniper]

Mods?

[fair glade]

i only have multiplayer enabled

[pale wolf]

mods

delete mods and reinstall

[fair glade]

kk

[tranquil otter]

lol

double lol

2 for 1 lol

[shell seal]

lol

[pale wolf]

hows it goin bros

[tranquil otter]

dont see that every day

[late helm]

I mean thanks

[eternal anchor]

I used a negative Emperor and I'm somehow using 4 consumable slots out of 3 lol

[nova mantle]

perishables are the bane of my existence

[eternal anchor]

this is PEWDIEPIE

[cosmic sun]

day 3 of DNA sticker hunting

[orchid comet]

why is everyone sticker hunting

[orchid comet]

huhhh

isn't it supposed to just create 1 if u don't have space

that's wild

[orchid comet]

that's awesome

[orchid comet]

💀

[eternal anchor]

It created 1 even though after using the negative Emperor but before it was created, it said 3/3

[tranquil otter]

cool

[orchid comet]

that's wild

[low spire]

i was fried

[low spire]

how are you selling so much

[tranquil otter]

lot of money

its not complicated

also zodiac deck helps

[last cradle]

1 pair giving me 367k

🙂

[robust iris]

Why is it still locked

[last cradle]

go back to main menu?

[low spire]

what is blank voucher for anyway

[last cradle]

reload game?

[robust iris]

Still Nothing

[eternal anchor]

Redeem it 10 times to unlock Antimatter

[low spire]

what if i’m playing an unlock all save

i still have to buy it 10 times

[eternal anchor]

no

find Blank in a run, then find Antimatter in the same run to get another Joker slot

[low spire]

ah

[robust iris]

Why I can’t unlock anti matter yet 😭

[low spire]

i’ve been doing green stake but i haven’t been buying vouchers a lot

[robust iris]

Don’t tell me it’s glitched

[humble gulch]

I love stickers

[thick haven]

should i stick with the baseball build or do a madness pivot

actually might be late idk

[eternal anchor]

What's your hologram looking like?

[noble steeple]

Can someone explain something for me? Baseball card procs 1.5x mult per uncommon and the holographic should be doing +10mult. For some reason the +10mult is only proccing after baseball cards' 1.5x Going left to right should do the +10 mult then the 3 1.5x right?

[white zodiac]

you have other concerns needed to be worried about first (econ)

[white zodiac]

bbc procs from the order of uncommon cards

also suboptimal joker order

[noble steeple]

So should baseball be card be moved far left because it's proccing first then?

I'm mostly just aiming for $400

[white zodiac]

edited because my dumbass didn't look at the picture and assumed that the question was a more niche interaction

[unreal iron]

i lovee vagabond as much as the next guy but my god this took SO LONG

[white zodiac]

flat mult needs to be positioned before uncommons

editions occur last upon the trigger order for jokers and cards regardless if there's x mult tied to the card/joker it's on

[unreal iron]

thats 4 stickers down at least

[noble steeple]

Gotcha, thank you

[white zodiac]

I had a similar lobotomized build

[last cradle]

Had a really close call 🙂

[pastel jungle]

Any assistance would be helpful - to make it more likely to naninf, what do I need to be digging for?

[white zodiac]

uncommons that give flat mult (Jj, erosion, pants) need to be placed before uncommons that give x mult/no scoring

[unreal iron]

thats actual lobotomy mine has... synergy

kinda

[pastel jungle]

I am usually an ante8 andy. this is uncharted territory for me

Deck for ref

[last cradle]

❤️

[white zodiac]

kinda (casually adding another e to my score)

[shell current]

Baron mime and cryptid

[unreal iron]

😔

[tepid perch]

thanks balatro
very helpful

[unreal iron]

lowkey hack could be something

but go buffoon

[tepid perch]

no it cant??
no matter whats in the pack it cant be bought
and this early I have no value in 2 - 5

thanks balatro

[unreal iron]

insta cert

:3

[white zodiac]

j joker
doioioioioing

[tepid perch]

yep
imma look for a hologram because this is doomed anyway

[white zodiac]

no need

cert qualifies as a solo worker

[tepid perch]

elp

that round sucked anyway

[humble gulch]

Got more stickers

[last cradle]

couldn't keep playing pairs

[white zodiac]

how did you die to a two top of the game joker roster

[nova mantle]

holy shit erratic gold stake has been such a pain ive never had so much struggle since plasma

[white zodiac]

oh well

[tepid perch]

Im relatively new
I though cert sucked

[white zodiac]

oh mb

well uh

[unreal iron]

when im given a fixed deck and cant do jack shit about it

what?

[pale wolf]

no

[tepid perch]

Im still working my way out of using noob traps like flushes and full houses

[unreal iron]

not saying gold stake erratic ISNT hard but

[tepid perch]

the flushes... they call to me

[nova mantle]

well not every hit is a good hit yk

[unreal iron]

thats a deck i wouldnt expect someone to struggle on

[white zodiac]

you just casually had two of the top jokers in terms of versatility

[nova mantle]

and i dont wanna restart everytime i get a one that isnt borken

[ivory sun]

synergi!!!

[nova mantle]

broken*, dont wanna play hold r simulator yk

[white zodiac]

gets two run winning pair jokers instead

[pale wolf]

erratic is strictly better than base deck

[unreal iron]

just work with what you get honestly

[white zodiac]

yar

[viral raft]

Hot take: if you lose against a boss that debuffs a type of card that's 100% your fault

[tepid perch]

How ramen feels

[nova mantle]

me neither, maybe ive had bad hits or whatever...

[pale wolf]

get this ai slop out

[viral raft]

that's not a ai slop brotato

atleat for what i know

[tepid perch]

illistration was made atleast 10 years ago

[nova mantle]

appart from this one im still missing all the colored decks (yellow green... black)

[alpine nest]

Idc what it is i want it out regardless

[pale wolf]

bro that says 9 where it should say 12

[alpine nest]

It could be made by van Gough idc

[nova mantle]

and then ill be set with my sweet c+

[white zodiac]

what

[tepid perch]

this is the worst mentality
its from alice in wonderland

[pale wolf]

source lol

[white zodiac]

damn aiw is ten years old

[ivory sun]

https://spotify.link/TVwkLkYQWXb
/j

[nova mantle]

its so hard tho 😭 orange stake has been so rough compared to the earlier ones where i could get away with a rtb on a deck with very few face cards or obelisk where i could pivot from flush/pair to somethin else

[ivory sun]

/srs

[tepid perch]

ppl dont know how to spot ai generated stuff do they

[unreal iron]

relying on specific jokers to show up guarantee losses tho?

[white zodiac]

virus 😍🔥

[pale wolf]

looking at the clock is a dead giveaway, as well as the general style of the image

It's very obviously AI to me

doesn't seem like you know how to

[tepid perch]

the clock is the only reason im even giving this thought

[unreal iron]

theres a watermark on the left i think?

[nova mantle]

and anaglyph/painted was easier, maybe luck ig?

[pale wolf]

One might think AI would eventually start making fake watermarks, pretty sure it already does

if you can read it and find the original source for the image then I'll believe it

[nova mantle]

not saying i rely on those, ive had more runs with different ones i was js giving 2 examples of jokers i won with

[shell current]

AI still does to signatures what it did to all text in 2022

[white zodiac]

erratic is better in terms of fundamentals since it's strictly better than a default deck but the line sits right above painted and anaglyph

[pale wolf]

which is fine because the signature in the photo is illegible

[hidden lance]

lol okay

[unreal iron]

https://x.com/luztapiaart/status/1975985627683565848

Luz Tapia Art (@luztapiaart)

Seeing this drawing I made on 2012 become a meme it's still crazy to me

X · Oct 8, 2025, 6:04 PM

[nova mantle]

for example, last run i won with lucky cat, chad, fibonacci and lots of lucky 8's

[pale wolf]

by golly

[tepid perch]

XD she has a post about it
proving that the file is 12 years old
lmao you type of people suck

[pale wolf]

the artist just sucks at roman numerals and recreated exactly how ai would make a clock

[tepid perch]

I mean im sure your a fine person

[nova mantle]

mmh, for me i felt pretty comfy with painted since the extra hand size made you able to get hands easier in the early antes so i could get my interest going to get sm good stuff on the latter shops

[manic talon]

this also already has been a meme before AI image generation was created, let alone became good

[pale wolf]

i never seen it

[tepid perch]

just do your research

[pale wolf]

i literally did

couldnt find any matches

[tepid perch]

it took 1 google search

[unreal iron]

no but like

know your meme

limc

point the sources

[white zodiac]

painted deck restricts your eternal joker picks early game which is a coherent downside when attempting to play it frequently on gs

[nova mantle]

well its mean to word it that way, right now you never know if something is an ai artwork or not so you kinda become a bit paranoid

[pale wolf]

1. the pic doesn't scream "meme" to me, its random artwork not an image macro or any joke related
2. i google lensed the image and saw no matches older than 2 weeks, nobody would reasonably search further than that

[white zodiac]

the artist looks like she also made those hard af angry bird hd renders

[unreal iron]

she probably did actually the style looks similar

[tepid perch]

fair
i said sorry but still fair
Im an artist and i always get irrationally mad when I see an artist get accused of AI when what theyre posting is clearly not

[white zodiac]

can they commission me freaky gengar

[thick haven]

3rd gold stake completion (im in massive debt)

[eternal anchor]

The meme factor drowns any meaningful search results

[unreal iron]

go find out if she does comms :3

[tepid perch]

and I was a bit mad because of this

but i shoulodnt have said u suck

[pale wolf]

you literally threw the exact same thing at me

it was just a question of who was right

[viral raft]

the clock is actually well made idk what are you talking, the hands and the proportions too, also the image is really old like from the 2010's it's really hard that is from a ai

[pale wolf]

ai can do proportions fine

[nova mantle]

well im still grinding all the gold stake decks so i dont think about grinding it a lot on gold stake , when i do grind stickers ill prob stick with another deck i feel more comfortable with

[random ice]

Guys, boss is vessel

I think Bloodstone is legit the play

[white zodiac]

have fun

[tepid perch]

but I was the one right and I knew it and it was proven
Imma just drop this

[viral raft]

yes, but not 4 or even 2 years ago

[unreal iron]

reroll for glass maybe?

[random ice]

LMAO look at all my Retriggers

[unreal iron]

yeah but like you can reroll for glass yk owo

bl**dstone

[nova mantle]

mmh fair, its mean to call something AI in a derogatory way when its not tbf

[random ice]

Too late took the bloods

[shell seal]

Seek for oops

[unreal iron]

no procs for 4 hands

[viral raft]

yeah

[unreal iron]

watch it

[nova mantle]

thanks lad

[random ice]

I took a Justice too

[nova mantle]

well off i go to see if orange stake wants to be beaten now

[random ice]

I'm not totally stupid

[tepid perch]

your days are numbered
for your build can only last so long

[white zodiac]

aaaaannywaays balatro

yeah you died with a pretty funny broken loadout

[random ice]

Easy peasy

[unreal iron]

evil people be like: i love bloodstone

bloodstone is so good

[random ice]

Look, I don't love it

But here, and very specifically here

It was the solution

[eternal anchor]

Bloodstone is one of the first Jokers I ever orange stickered lol

[random ice]

Like my deck is ALL HEARTS

I had multiple sources of Retriggers

[tepid perch]

well I wish I grabbed the seed then

[random ice]

And violet vessel coming up

[unreal iron]

i stickered bloodstone with yorick and canio lmfao

dude did nothing for half the run

[shell current]

An idol would have won you the run if you didn’t find the justice card

[tepid perch]

How is cert broken though

[unreal iron]

seals are broken

[random ice]

Blue seals are scaling

[white zodiac]

blue/purp seals

[unreal iron]

so by extension, cert is broken

[random ice]

Purple seals are scaling

Gold seals are money

Red Seals are funny

[white zodiac]

red seals are
there

[unreal iron]

potentially more money/scoring potential

basically

[shell current]

Red seals are also money with extra steps

[random ice]

Red Seals are more of a mid late game thing

[tepid perch]

I like a small deck so I dont like cards that add more like marble
cryptid is the only execption

[random ice]

But still very good

[white zodiac]

other seals are welcome
two of them are broken on their own

[random ice]

Like if you stick a Justice on a red

That's beefy

[unreal iron]

when you pair spam it doesnt matter

[random ice]

Blue and Purple can't be beat though

[white zodiac]

pairs don't care how big your deck is

[random ice]

Small deck is not meta

Deck size is mostly irrelevant, you just need to access good cards

There are times you want to have a small deck, but most of the time you just draft good shit delete bad shit

[tepid perch]

I once got perkeo on ghost deck and accidentally killed myself with immolate

[unreal iron]

honestly after playing the game more ive realized that erosion is a bit mid?

[random ice]

That's just called being drunk

And not knowing what's happening

[tranquil cargo]

erosion has its moments

it's not always good but sometimes it's really good

[random ice]

I love erosions design, the very definition of situational

[unreal iron]

yeah for sure but it feels inconsistent due to standard packs being powerful

[white zodiac]

blue seals are fundamentally broken specifically for smaller size poker hands, purple seals are essentially value generators via money or deck fixing. at worst they're consumable blockers good for manipulating shop probability of other consumables

[unreal iron]

and hologram

[shell current]

Marble without hologram is worse than baron without mime

[tepid perch]

and Ive fallen into a noob trap

[nova mantle]

nvm i found a deck with 12 3's and a fib

[unreal iron]

okay what

[nova mantle]

erratic deck is mad easy

[random ice]

I mean that's a perfectly winnable array of jokers

[unreal iron]

insane start

[random ice]

Erratic is a lot more boring than it first appears imo

[shell current]

This is a super reasonable lineup in ante 3

[random ice]

Most exciting runs happen on Ghost and Abandoned

[shell current]

Unless you took smiley after two-pair tony

[random ice]

Turns out starting with 40 cards makes deck building way juicier

[unreal iron]

deckmaxxing

[random ice]

Abandoned is a really fun deck that looks boring

Erratic is a really boring deck that looks fun

Change my mind

[white zodiac]

erratic is just annoying

[random ice]

You might even say it's

Erratic

[tepid perch]

do yall like astronomer?

[unreal iron]

nice value generation

[white zodiac]

oh fun I have to look at my deck to calculate probabilities of certain draws every time I play a new run

[tranquil cedar]

the run is saved

[tranquil cargo]

it's a great rental on gold stake

[white zodiac]

pays for itself within one pack or two planets

great indirect synergies

fav being campfire

[hidden lance]

again??

[random ice]

Astronomer is like Chaos the Clown, Econ in disguise

Also I like Chaos too

[cosmic sun]

Chaos is the GOAT

the GOAAAT

(still can't find DNA)

[random ice]

One free reroll per shop is almost double shop contents

Pretty potent

[white zodiac]

orange is the new black

[tepid perch]

holy luck
astro or pair

[white zodiac]

ew

[tepid perch]

who do I sell

[white zodiac]

skip for red card

[shell current]

I pick up rental astronomer more than I take regular astronomer

[cosmic sun]

shits fucked up

[violet bear]

Rental astro into 2 free packs into sell astro for .25 on campfire

[tranquil cedar]

there is no way.

HE ACTUALLY SAVED THE RUN

[vocal warren]

yes

[tranquil cedar]

LONG LIVE JIMBO

[vocal warren]

THERES NO WAY JIMBO LIVED

LONG LIVE THE KING!

[white zodiac]

or yk just keep it for more camp value

[violet bear]

Or that yeah

[tranquil cedar]

HIP HIP HURRAY

[unreal iron]

you have 2 canios

i dont think you need to?

[terse dock]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1415780753735680151

[vocal warren]

and if you do, sabotage jimbo

[tranquil cedar]

did anyways just in case lol

[terse dock]

Are you sure

[tranquil cedar]

they were at like x2

[terse dock]

Your run doesnt look like it needs the mime triggers i

[tranquil cedar]

sooo

[terse dock]

I see

[tranquil cedar]

steel

got mime at like ante 2 and got rich with midas

[terse dock]

Yeah but like 2 x5 canios are enough to blow through 200000 easily

[tranquil cedar]

they were at x2

I already said that

[terse dock]

I know i was just saying if they were at x5 they would be enoufh

Did you just not find hung men

[tranquil cedar]

yeah but they weren't

[vocal warren]

lets kill this guy

[terse dock]

Why

[tranquil cedar]

yeah I found canio really late and my luck is ass

[terse dock]

Yikes

How late

[tranquil cedar]

which is weird because I had overstock plus AND tarot merchant

[vocal warren]

see what he said to me? Lets kill him @tranquil cedar

[tranquil cedar]

like ante 7 I think

[terse dock]

Yikes what were your other jokers

[tranquil cedar]

dude are you blind look at the picture 😭

[buoyant crater]

is this a good coupon ? i usually bought it every time but just asking

[terse dock]

Did you not sell?

[vocal warren]

It is good

[tranquil cedar]

sell what

[vocal warren]

but dont use it on ante 8

[terse dock]

I know you had an invisible but were you 4/5 joker slots other than invis

[vocal warren]

Bcuz if you get on ante 8 and go back, you'll still have to do a boss blind

and then you have to do ANOTHER boss

[buoyant crater]

oh okay, smart!! thanks you!

[tranquil cedar]

well it was this in ante 7

[terse dock]

Yes I recognize that but did you sell jokers for the soul

[vocal warren]

np gng

[tranquil cedar]

shoot the moon

[vocal warren]

W

[tranquil cedar]

no

[vocal warren]

fuck shoot the moon

[tranquil cedar]

I sold shoot the moon for invis

[terse dock]

I wouldnt have done that personally

[vocal warren]

W

[tranquil cedar]

sold midas for soul

[white zodiac]

what

[terse dock]

Your best hit on soul was chicot

[vocal warren]

I hate shoot the moon

[white zodiac]

why

[vocal warren]

because i love gambling my money, not what cards i have in my hand

[tranquil cedar]

wtv it's soul I be liking those legends

[vocal warren]

its conditional which sucks

[terse dock]

All jokers are conditional

[white zodiac]

it's perfectly decent

[pale wolf]

stm is good

[vocal warren]

ur dead right now, silence

i killed you

[terse dock]

dodges

[vocal warren]

I just hate it

I think it sucks

[fading junco]

it has been 1 yeat since jimbo said fuck.

[terse dock]

Intercourse

[white zodiac]

brainwash time

wooo

[tranquil cedar]

That's what I was saying about grimbo until I tried it

[vocal warren]

i will not be interacting with ragebait

WHO IS GRIMBO

[tranquil cedar]

why are you playing square balatro 🙏

[fading junco]

fuck

[white zodiac]

fold

[vocal warren]

why does your balatro look like its from wish

[tranquil cedar]

so that's why balatro is pegi 18

[warm kindle]

whyd I not get the completionist+ achievement (I dont have mods on or anything)

[white zodiac]

finish another game

[terse dock]

balator is peg 18

[vocal warren]

[white zodiac]

todd

[unreal iron]

steven here

[vocal warren]

[vocal warren]

it looks so weird i cant place it

Wait yes i can

@white zodiac why are the cards so... NORMAL looking

[tepid perch]

bruh

[vocal warren]

dude am i crazy

[white zodiac]

yeah

[vocal warren]

arent the cards supposed to be pixelated

why do they look so normal

it makes me uncomfortable

[deft marten]

the end of a really good run :( though it did make it like 5 ante's farther then it should've 🤣

[vocal warren]

i'm scared

@tranquil cedar Hold me im scared

[fading junco]

the best joker combo in the game

objectively

i will not be accepting any other opinions

[tranquil cedar]

im probably not strong enough to hold you

also is this /ref

[white zodiac]

I have no idea what you're talking about this is just a stm build

[shell current]

I do in fact speculatively strength my 5’s into sixes in hopes I can delete them

[tranquil cedar]

omg same

[honest knoll]

Anaglyph deck my beloved

[tranquil cedar]

i think someone defeated the boss blind

[vocal warren]

its not the build

its the card look

Why are they smooth

isnt balatro a pixelated game

[unreal iron]

#🕹・game-discussion message

anaglyph can be so fun

but the skips have to hit

[heavy heron]

i mean there’s no way i do it right

i just die

[white zodiac]

I have crt and high contrast off

[tepid perch]

watch me still lose

[vocal warren]

Ah

[heavy heron]

but imagine it…

[shell current]

It’s always fun even if you don’t skip because the card backs look nice

[vocal warren]

That explains why they're so smooth

[shell current]

I didn’t know judgement could contain eternals?

[white zodiac]

they dont

[tepid perch]

I just got a DNA
"im not gonna do a barron mime run" balatro

[urban sun]

test123

omg im shiny

[fading junco]

holy that custom brainstorm looks cool

[tepid perch]

https://github.com/stupxd/Blueprint

[hidden lance]

all i need is that dammed antimatter

[buoyant crater]

yay first gold run (:!

[dim heron]

just one more ante...

[tranquil otter]

W crimson heart, letting me get max score

[hidden lance]

holy shit

[tranquil otter]

surely you find joker you need in 4 thousand dollars of rolls

bean or showman into something i think

[dim heron]

the prophecy has been fulfilled

[hidden lance]

"surely 4000$ is enough to find a blueprint or a brainstorm"

[dim heron]

trust the bean

[wintry otter]

Yo I’m I. The shower

[dim heron]

hand size stays winning

[wintry otter]

Told you

[heavy heron]

i should select blind

do we agree?

[ember turtle]

obelisk was at 7.6x at ante 6 but i forgot to move the brainstorm and i died by 87k/90k

i'm so smart

[dim heron]

think of the +mult

[shell current]

A jimbo unshuffled shrivels up and dies, like a raisin in the sun

[white zodiac]

<@&1133519078540185692> there's bare ass thighs and feet in the server I don't like feet

[smoky merlin]

Gross

[dire tapir]

gros michel

[warm kindle]

well it worked lol

[unreal iron]

yuck

[buoyant crater]

i did my first defi and my first gold run but i didnt unlock the two achievements on steam ? thats bc i modded my game ?

[ripe iris]

brainstorm or dna

[pale wolf]

i missed it

[pale wolf]

victory lap bug, complete another run any stake

[buoyant crater]

thanks < 3

[river slate]

what do i sell?

[ripe iris]

if you dont need chad sell that

phot

photo

not chad

[river slate]

i do need it

it's my scorig

i was thinking of golden ticket

and then i find a ecto

and find goled ticket again

[unkempt reef]

lol do i take the 3rd invis joker

i wanna get baron mime but i have yet to find either nor a red seal

i think i gotta just farm the rest of six sense

[mortal aurora]

I used to talk bad about him but I've learned to appreciate square joker

[wind basin]

this is a weird run

[ripe iris]

8 jokers on ante 4 wtf

[rose monolith]

Is that cool in any ways

[white zodiac]

which one of these uncommon goons should i sticker

[cosmic sun]

gotta be stone

[ripe iris]

stone is gonna be better

[white zodiac]

showman isn't stickered yet

[ripe iris]

hiker is better

so your more likely to sticker it later

[wind basin]

had two negative jokers without the negative tag

and then one with the spectral card that makes one negative

[unreal iron]

grimbo fs

in reality it depends on how many stone cards you have

[white zodiac]

over showman?

[unreal iron]

you either take stone or hiker

[wind basin]

let's pray i dont lose it on one round

[unreal iron]

depends

[unreal iron]

perishable rental tbf

[cosmic sun]

my reasoning is because stone is one of the rarer rares technically

[white zodiac]

im not in a position to lose, I'm looking for the theoretical hardest stickers

[cosmic sun]

because of the requirement of a stone card

[white zodiac]

ight

[unreal iron]

then probably stone joker

[white zodiac]

what about idol lmao

[unreal iron]

idol doesnt need you to make stone cards to even have a chance to appear tbf

for the tradeoff of x1.5 with bbc at best

[white zodiac]

trying to weigh sticker importance on black

skipped an eternal one earlier

[cursive lion]

uh

[unreal iron]

the bean

[ripe iris]

my god

its so beautiful

[molten pier]

Stats after ~100? Hours on mobile

[rose monolith]

It just keeps getting better I'm not even ante 4 dude

[solid garden]

should I try to golden the naner?

[white zodiac]

lobotomized

[molten pier]

lol huh

[grave magnet]

i...guess i'm doing a two pair Build run.

[rose monolith]

i'm not good at the game so i don't have money yk

[unreal iron]

ditch mad

more pants scaling this way

[unreal iron]

"stats?" and its all fucking photochad

every single time

[solid garden]

I may have photochad top 4 140 hours in.

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

[grave magnet]

why though? does it pop twice with only pants?

[unreal iron]

you get more scaling throghout the run if you get rid of mad joker

plus, 2$

so why not

its still very early in ante 1

[wind basin]

unless my natural luck makes this infinitely worse,I will win this

[white zodiac]

new roster (red card and const aren't stickered yet)

[solid garden]

erratic deck gold stake, 10/15! goldened sly joker, superposition, canio and gros michel! I was so worried about it breaking after the played hand lmaoooo

[wind basin]

I guess I have something to sell

[river slate]

how many cryptid do i need to nan inf?

[buoyant crater]

it didnt work : (

[wind basin]

yipee

at least i got a sticker for the tarot card making joker

[ivory sun]

debate over stuntman here?

[rose monolith]

Oh hell nah this isn't the seed for me 😭

I downloaded the game 2 days ago bruh

[noble steeple]

Anyone got advice? I was just trying to grind the $400 econ but this run has just gone off the rails super quick. Stay the course for the unlock or swap in one or both shop jokers?

[wind basin]

and again with the brainstorm

[river slate]

o7

[rigid fulcrum]

I may get Balatro

[river slate]

do it

get it

[wind basin]

ride the bus omg

[rose monolith]

Is the Idol worth it?

If yes for what

[river slate]

n

[ivory sun]

worth replacing chicot?

[wind basin]

WAIT I realized

[rose monolith]

Alright 😭

[wind basin]

my rerolls start at 1 dollar

[river slate]

i mean if you want to pivot

in to idol

it's your choice

but you have a decent baron run going

how the deck looking?

[rose monolith]

Idk any of these terms I found an incredible run

[rose monolith]

No red seals yet

only golden cards and some lucky cards too

[river slate]

if you want to change hwo you score in the run basically

[rose monolith]

I mostly duplicate golden for money

[rose monolith]

I'm good I'm good

[river slate]

it's hard to change from baron to idol

[white zodiac]

not compatible

[low spire]

i need to hit a successful egg + dagger combo

i need it

[rose monolith]

what's not compatible

[river slate]

huh he's comping golden seals for money

i think no?

with dna

also don't flood your deck too much

[rose monolith]

Golden CARDS I only have 1 golden seals hidden in my deck

[river slate]

oh okok

don't flood the deck too much

[white zodiac]

ok call them gold cards

[rose monolith]

Well I'll try the run again with the seed if I mess up

[river slate]

or it's going to be hard to get the red seal going

[rose monolith]

It's really a beautiful seed I found

[rose monolith]

Yeah I might be cooked that's why

[river slate]

are you playing on ghost deck?

ora plasma?

[rose monolith]

I started playing yesterday so I don't know much about the game but I'm playing with the red deck

[river slate]

ooh okok

welcome in the community!

[rose monolith]

Ty tyyy

[wind basin]

perkeo woah

[river slate]

W

[wind basin]

free rerolls

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[heady narwhal]

this run is fucked up

i can't believe i got away with it

[wind basin]

hell yeah

[cloud sinew]

high card matching your highest is insane

[heady narwhal]

that happened in ante 7

so i had to go without acrobat for the final boss

[cloud sinew]

that's honestly fine considering you one-shot everything besides vessel

[heady narwhal]

yeah

i think if i had paid more attention to my scoring i could've avoided using acrobat previously

and maybe beat vv idk

[nova mantle]

hii, is this the optimal card order? this is kinda my only chance to score that million chips sooo...

[ripe iris]

glass first

[cloud sinew]

glass first, then non-glass poly at the end

[ripe iris]

^

[heady narwhal]

i love having an excuse to fullskip on gold stake runs

[nova mantle]

thank you

checked on balatro calc and apparently ts scores 1,100,000 so i should be pretty close

[graceful oasis]

in my quest to beat every deck on gold i have reached a turning point where the only decks i have left are the unfun ones lol

[random ice]

Thank you loyalty card

[nova mantle]

i did forgot to imput my flush level so i guess we won, thanks lads

[graceful oasis]

black, erratic, and plasma left

[random ice]

Actually useful for once

[nova mantle]

erratic is like watching paint dry while both black and plasma are straight torture, i wish you good luck

[graceful oasis]

is there any way to consistently play erratic

[eternal anchor]

meanwhile

[graceful oasis]

or is it just a shitroll every time

[white zodiac]

pairs

that’s about it

cya

[nova mantle]

not one that i have found at least, it is better than base deck its just that the upside feels underwhelming compared to all the other decks, js makin it not particularly hard, but very boring

[ripe iris]

just draw a flush 5 vro

[oblique crystal]

orange stake is eating my ass

[graceful oasis]

i just did the first win w it on f five aces lol

[graceful oasis]

hot

[eternal anchor]

Erratic potentially lends itself to 4oak or 5oak builds if you deckfix to your most common starting rank

[nova mantle]

what 💔

[white zodiac]

well they’re asking for consistent plays

which is by default pairs and other oaks late game

[ripe iris]

sadly couldnt find an ecto

[nova mantle]

tho to finding decks that lend to this playstyle, youll quickly find yourself in holding R simulator...

as one person said js work with whatever cards you have

[ripe iris]

should be noted that throughout this run i encountered both the plant and the goad and beat both without the boss reroll voucher

[random ice]

Lined up my loyalty card exactly with the boss

[ripe iris]

holy polychrome

[nova mantle]

lovely...

[obsidian oracle]

negative dna from wraith

i think its my lucky day

[narrow scroll]

why do people even use painted deck it lowers your handsize by two and removes a joker slot..

[nova junco]

what do i do

I know which one is the correct option I'm asking which is the funnier one

and photo is probably the answer to both

[white zodiac]

photo solves ante 1 and has slight more reliability in nebula runs via base mult planets. mime is disappointing on nebula for its broken blue seal dups for later, has more synergies.

[nova junco]

Doesnt matter because I died due to the fact that I am blind and played high card instead of flush lol

[ripe iris]

shit lmfao

[shut quartz]

This has got to be one of the worst balatro moments... help
What do I do??? Theres a gative skip tag next blind too...

[nova junco]

clock in balatro?

[white zodiac]

i rate this screenshot a 6/10 :/

[shut quartz]

Very helpful, thanks guys

[shut quartz]

SystemClock mod

[fading cobalt]

If you guys had the option of playing a straight with 3 odds and 2 evens or 3 evens and 2 odds and you had odd todd with even steven which straight would you play?

[fading cobalt]

Go next round

I don't think anything in that shop is worth buying

Well paint brush would be good for baron build

But you can't afford that

[tranquil cargo]

how did you make it to ante 3 with no econ and no scoring?

[unreal iron]

sell baron, go next?

[fading cobalt]

In a perfect scenario you could sell photograph, buy arcana pack, get judgement then get mime from judgement

[tranquil cargo]

oh that's round 4, you've been skipping a lot

[fading cobalt]

Please tell me this is sature

[unreal iron]

win the lottery atp

[unreal iron]

it is yeah

[fading cobalt]

Yeah well I did say perfect

[white zodiac]

even high straights score more

[fading cobalt]

?

How is that relevant to what I asked

[white zodiac]

even numbered high straights score more than odd high straights

[unreal iron]

yeah 3 evens would be better

[shut quartz]

Stupid persistence

[unreal iron]

since saturn scaling :3

[fading cobalt]

Oh you meant even that way

[white zodiac]

well that’s not why

[fading cobalt]

I misread your sentence

[unreal iron]

normalize not skipping unless investment tag ante 1

[fading cobalt]

In the scenario saturn is level 1

[white zodiac]

saturn levels aren’t relevant but chip/mult distribution is to yield the higher score

[unreal iron]

i'd still go with 3 evens

[fading cobalt]

Okay

I kept wracking my brain about which would score more

[shut quartz]

I got like, 2 double tags ante one then poured them into rare jokers

[fading cobalt]

And now you only have one rare joker?

[solid garden]

normalize skipping ante 8 small and big blinds if you're lazy

[unreal iron]

so 8 7 6 5 4 > 9 8 7 6 5 in that case

but it all really depends on the setup

[fading cobalt]

Or 10-6 > 9-5

[unreal iron]

but scaling ;(

[shut quartz]

2, invis and baron
Forget what the other was...

[fading cobalt]

The setup is completely theoretical

[fading cobalt]

Oh right

[shut quartz]

Idk what happened to it tbh

[fading cobalt]

I forget invis is rare sometimes

[unreal iron]

schrodinger's setup

"this could be a lucky cat run"

[white zodiac]

6 high straights score 16 more chips than a 7 high straight. planets and higher rank straights only widen the gap towards more evens

[unreal iron]

"or not"

[uncut slate]

ante 3 $3 eternal baron?? chat is this ragebait??

[fading cobalt]

Check their rounds

[unreal iron]

how does one expect to win when they skip every blind under the sun 🙏

[fading cobalt]

They skipped like 3 blinds

[uncut slate]

this is madness

[solid garden]

I only have like 2 (two) fun decks for c+

shit

[uncut slate]

except madness is a good joker

[shut quartz]

As a shock to nobody I'm about to lose in the very next boss blind... sh0ildve sold invis for photochad...

[fading cobalt]

No this is throwback

[unreal iron]

those being?

im curious

[fading cobalt]

Skipping blinds is anti madness behaviour

[white zodiac]

i can think of other reasons how you lost

[solid garden]

I have red, nebula, painted, black and one more, I forgor

first two

[unreal iron]

red and nebula are your faves?

[random ice]

Ok I just had a batshit insane run

[fading cobalt]

Something comes to mind but.. nah its too far fetched

[solid garden]

not faves, my faves are ghost, abandoned and yellow

[random ice]

I had to full skip to keep my Blackboard alive

But I couldn't beat heart

[fading cobalt]

Holding baron and photograph without the 2 jokers that make them good is funny ngl

[random ice]

So I used Heiro to lower hearts score

Then FULLSKIPPED

Both the new Ante 7 and Ante 8

To keep my Blackboard alive and succeed

[unreal iron]

holy W

[fading cobalt]

Wdym keep it alive?

[shut quartz]

I litirally don't quite get what it was, how about like, you say what it was instead of being sarcastic bruh

[unreal iron]

perishable

[random ice]

Perishable

[unreal iron]

it wouldve died

[fading cobalt]

Ohhh

W

[random ice]

Most insane calculation I've done lmao

[white zodiac]

the story of how i used a heiroglyph to keep my perishable alive

[random ice]

No, the skipping kept it alive

[fading cobalt]

Baron is terrible without mime, you had photo without chad, you didn't have any other scoring jokers, so yeah dying at the boss was bound to happen
