[cursive lion]

YOO

[fading cobalt]

Cerulean bell must be heartless 😒

[jovial mica]

youre broke tho :[

[white zodiac]

most new players aren't very well experienced with optimizing their money early on which ends up killing their run in the late game

[cursive lion]

[cursive lion]

MORE!

[fading cobalt]

MORE!

[jovial mica]

[drifting finch]

[jovial mica]

whyy

[white zodiac]

[jovial mica]

why would i take the mega if the standard is right there lmao

[cursive lion]

i mean if you have good econ you can take both

[white zodiac]

you get 2 picks on megas

[drifting finch]

why would you not take both

[jovial mica]

weird

[white zodiac]

and a larger choice pool

[cursive lion]

beggers cant be choosers

[tawny grove]

I have ascended

[jovial mica]

[magic stone]

[cursive lion]

lucky cat...

[jovial mica]

icl do i just discard lowest 5 in rank order and pray

[autumn vector]

Yeah sure do that I guess

[drifting finch]

man trying to gold stake green deck is painful

[autumn vector]

Nooo

No lucky cat

[autumn vector]

That’s a lot of copy tags

[cursive lion]

where is the negative tags

[autumn vector]

Idk probably somewhere

[hallow bolt]

how do you get past ante 32?

[cursive lion]

[jovial mica]

my run is going absolutely nowhere

i need to pivot or something

[cursive lion]

farwell my yoricks

WA6373AT

[white zodiac]

crimson bean, perkatory

[lusty estuary]

what should i copy here (Idol is inactive due to inadequate deck fixing)

and i don’t know how much is trust bugstone

[round fox]

do bloodstone

[paper raven]

hello does anyone know/think if the price in the app store will be reduced for black friday?

[lusty estuary]

All the copy jokers on bloodstone?

[round fox]

Yes

[lusty estuary]

gulp wish me luck

[round fox]

wait

no i just noticed its ante 15

mb

lowkey no idea how u could save this

[lyric shore]

even with every bloodstone hit its not enough

[round fox]

maybe dusk cause it could exponentially xmult

[jovial mica]

genq what do i take here

[round fox]

???

[lyric shore]

copying dusk is most score but you still die

[jovial mica]

not sigil bc i havent encountered any suit debuffs yet

[round fox]

yea theres not rlly anything u can do atp

[round fox]

ecto is best ever

[lyric shore]

lol

[round fox]

i think

[lyric shore]

why not immolate

[jovial mica]

negative on luchador would be useless tho

[lyric shore]

on anything you have negative is useless

[jovial mica]

my econ is already alr

[lyric shore]

? its 20 more dollars and -5 bad cards

[jovial mica]

fair..

[lyric shore]

you usually should immolate every time you see it

[jovial mica]

and then i get this..

bye bye misprint ig?

[white zodiac]

immuhlate, skip

[jovial mica]

skip

[vestal shoal]

Folks whats the move here?

[lyric shore]

arrow not helping

[jovial mica]

FUUUUCK

im done balatr-ing today its 11pm lmao

[hallow vale]

Help

What to do

[shell seal]

Skip

[hallow vale]

Judgment

[cursive lion]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1434685376362053742 if anyone wants to play on this seed

[fading cobalt]

This build is gonna make me combust

[paper raven]

hello does anyone know/think if the price in the app store will be reduced for black friday?

[fading cobalt]

No its literally immaculate

Chefs kiss

All my favourite jokers aswell

Constellation, chad, obelisk, mime

And of course blueprint

[grave magnet]

Hey guys, is there a way to play my steam save on mobile?

[short rover]

Is there a meta deck and joker combo?

[fading cobalt]

Not really

[short rover]

Ok cause I can hardly win

[grave magnet]

Same

[cursive lion]

sadly no

cross platform saves isnt a thing for balatro (yet?)

[fading cobalt]

Watch balatro university

[cursive lion]

yeah balatro university is a good channel to learn

[short rover]

Is it really that helpful?

[graceful oasis]

isnt every balatro university video like an hour long? not really worth imo

[white zodiac]

consider the balatro 101 playlist for 6 minute advice

[graceful oasis]

@short rover focus on unlocking new cards and making progress every run. a lot of the base edition jokers and vouchers make it harder to win

[white zodiac]

well university courses are an hour long

[graceful oasis]

this is a video game, not an undergrad degree

[cursive lion]

TRUE

[white zodiac]

what are you implying

u can have an hours worth of learning

[fading cobalt]

Just listen to it like a podcast while playing balatro

[eternal tree]

Nah it's basically a math degree at this point

[graceful oasis]

im not implying anything, im flat out saying im not interested in sitting in an hour lecture for something i do wth my little free time. If I had more learning energy I would go put that into my actual masters program lol

[white zodiac]

attention span goes down lower and lower by the day

[fading cobalt]

This run was so good its got me tearing up

Selling chad killed me honestly

[white zodiac]

you can play it at X4 speed and still retain what he's saying (just like balala)

also yeah balatro 101 playlist

[graceful oasis]

if the barrier to entry for a video game is "you have to watch a bunch of hour long tutorials" then its not a good videogame. Same as how you need the wiki for every stardew valley / terraria / dark souls quest. Telling new players theres this huge barrier to entry to learn the game is not true lol

[white zodiac]

which is not what I said

the first thing I recommend was a 6 minute video playlist

per request

[grave magnet]

Hehehe, i found how ta do it. https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/s/a8T3OJmXlm

[fading cobalt]

The wiki for missions or quests is so normalised its just a standard in games atp

[graceful oasis]

i followed up to what you said with "isnt every bu video like an hour long" and instead of saying no there are six minute videos you compared it to a college course lmao

[fading cobalt]

The game is intended for you to have an attention span to learn what you're meant to do

[simple stag]

whats the play here

[fading cobalt]

If you need to use a wiki then thats a skill issue tbh

[white zodiac]

reading is mandatory one might say

[simple stag]

replace red card?

[fading cobalt]

Prob

I would argue buskin isnt amazing

But I could be wrong

[graceful oasis]

"reading is mandatory one might say" is balatro all you have my man

[fading cobalt]

Whats your main game

[graceful oasis]

a full time job in construction management followed by a masters program in data science with a focus in machine learning

[white zodiac]

I play scrabble every now and then

geoguesser

uhh

I think that's it atm

[graceful oasis]

then pokemon heartgold :3

[fading cobalt]

Man why are you insulting people on discord when you have a life? Surely you have something better to do..

[graceful oasis]

you got me !

[fading cobalt]

Best advice for you is just play balatro more and you will begin to learn what you should be doing

[white zodiac]

discord and ppl having free time woah

[fading cobalt]

A guide isnt needed but to get good quickly its recommended ig

[graceful oasis]

ill never tell a new player they dont have to watch a bunch of youtube videos to understand the game again my bad

sorry pimp ❤️

[fading cobalt]

Like you could probably watch a hour and a half worth of videos from balatro uni and learn alot of the game then pick up the rest yourself

[white zodiac]

it varies from player to player, if they ask for advice I'll give out the most time efficient method which they can just put in the background

dual monitors and all that

or picture in picture on mobile

ppl that don't want to do that wouldn't be asking for help in the first place

[graceful oasis]

time efficient isnt how games should be played imo. they want actionable advice that helps make the game fun

giving them a path to go down ie "focus on unlocking new jokers" gives them something to do where they will pick up tactics and hints along the way.

the most time efficient game through a puzzle game is to google all the solutions the second you get stuck but then you dont get anything out of the game

if they wanted to watch videos of the game, they would do that.... but they want to PLAY the game.

[left juniper]

I don't think you can tell someone else how to have fun

[graceful oasis]

thats exactly why telling people to watch youtube videos is not helping them lmao

also why i said imo

you can assume if theyre playing the game and asking for help, they want help specifically making the gameplay fun

[left juniper]

Just because it doesn't help you it doesn't mean it wont help them

[cursive lion]

for me watching some videos from channel like balatro university has helped with my skill

[left juniper]

Someone asked a question and another person gave advice 🤷 Then you kinda pooped on the help

[graceful oasis]

not at all what i did

I also gave advice then asked "isnt every balatro university video like an hour long" and everyones blood pressure rose for some reason

[white zodiac]

you cant just assume that lol

[graceful oasis]

reread my messages lol i didnt say anything out of turn until you implied i didnt have reading comprehension

[fading cobalt]

Fuck you baron

I trusted you, I trusted the process. But you didnt pull your fucking weight

[white zodiac]

their first question was asking about what was meta, implying any unspoken advice they want to pick up and apply in their runs. if I would've said roffle or some entertainment focused streamer I would've wasted that person's time with their response of help. bu goes in depth for each critical decision made in game which is smooth enough to play in background, in 4x speed, in short form videos, etc

[white zodiac]

that wasn't towards you, that was towards the games mechanics

[graceful oasis]

oh my bad then

we both gave advice idrc if they take it or not lol

rip my reading comprehension ig

[white zodiac]

no blame the game

that's what I did

[graceful oasis]

i blame the middle east

[fading cobalt]

Middle east just caught the craziest stray ever

[orchid comet]

hola

[orchid comet]

real

[orchid comet]

oh yeah so true

[solar solar]

i finally beat every deck on red

[orchid comet]

I recently switched off roffle cuz I noticed he wasn't doing smart plays or stuff I didn't know

[orchid comet]

why is urs negative

[solar solar]

I dont even have any hate towards painted I just forgot it dexisted

[orchid comet]

what did you do that I didn't

[manic talon]

roffle lite is all hype moments and aura

[solar solar]

texture pac k

[manic talon]

its not actually optimal plays

[fading cobalt]

Trolling me with ts

[orchid comet]

that's awesome

congrats

[mortal nimbus]

Roffle Heavy is where all the good content is

[orchid comet]

Roffle Dark is way better

[manic talon]

damn

[white zodiac]

oh my days it's the bb

[solar solar]

now time to tackle gold stake #2

[orchid comet]

open spectral pack

why do I get so excited abt spectral packs

is arcana better than spectral

[orchid comet]

I think it's mostly deck fixing

and seals

[fading cobalt]

Not necessarily

[solar solar]

i love spectral packs because of immolate

[fading cobalt]

I see spectrals as the legendary of booster packs

[orchid comet]

ankh and wrath for me

[orchid comet]

and ecto

[orchid comet]

yeah samee

[solar solar]

i wonder which way this run will take

[orchid comet]

rectangular blood

[mortal nimbus]

There aren’t that many spectrals that are crazy good on higher stakes, but even the less flexible ones have common enough niches to be useful

[solar solar]

just got the best immolate ever

shop 2

and NO hearts were in the deck i drew

[orchid comet]

what's considered higher stakes

[solar solar]

blue and above i believe

[mortal nimbus]

Yeah, blue is where the difficulty spikes the most

[orchid comet]

-1 discard?

[solar solar]

blue stake is why my two gold stakes are gonna be the two that can nullify that the most

[mortal nimbus]

Yeah, that’s extremely punishing

[fading cobalt]

Sometimes I feel like Jimbo rigs the game so he can ragebait me even harder when he comments about my loss

[mortal nimbus]

Blue restricts gameplay quite a lot more than purple, orange and gold

[orchid comet]

I reached blue stake in green deck but I'm playing black rn cuz less discard in a deck with no interest is frustrating

[mortal nimbus]

And with old gold stake, it was a nasty 1-2 punch

[solar solar]

wasnt old gold -1 handsize or something

[orchid comet]

I tried a few runs and just thought it's better to go from white to blue on a whole new deck than do it on green

[white zodiac]

old orange stake

[orchid comet]

yay free money

[white zodiac]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[fading cobalt]

Devastating misinput

[craggy hearth]

bro how are yall mods so speedy

[fading cobalt]

I'm starting to believe you're not light yagami

[smoky merlin]

All mine

[mortal nimbus]

[orchid comet]

light was a nickname from a friend

[craggy hearth]

stop being so fast smh

[orchid comet]

I never thought of changing it

[smoky merlin]

no. I don’t think I will

[craggy hearth]

btw a little unrelated, but is ur user based off of the author

i always meant to ask but never did

[smoky merlin]

who is that

[warped prairie]

is this not like one of the worst negative tags 😭😭 game hates me

[smoky merlin]

poo te weet

[craggy hearth]

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

[solar solar]

AND I SAID.
FUCK IT. WE BALL.

[orchid comet]

if u have eternal jokers that's actually very optimal

[craggy hearth]

wait so it is or isnt

[warped prairie]

i havent even heard of eternal jokers ngl

[manic talon]

old orange genuinely so bad tho, basically removes a whole gameplay feature after ante 3

[orchid comet]

oh yeah it's trash

eternal jokers appear in black stake

[white zodiac]

whuh

[mortal nimbus]

Yeah, it was so brutal, I only got 1 Gold stake done when that was the case

[manic talon]

i got blue checkered and ghost on Gold

with the old update

[white zodiac]

i just didn’t play it

[manic talon]

man i miss the experimental branch

[mortal nimbus]

I honestly wouldn’t mind giving it another shot with the current joker lineup and the experience I’ve got now

[manic talon]

bring me back 1 in 2 X2 bloodstone

[white zodiac]

bring back old obby licks

[orchid comet]

😭

[manic talon]

black deck would probably be very annoying

[orchid comet]

get blueprint on bloodstone maybe then it'll work 💔

[mortal nimbus]

Oh yeah, I honestly don’t know if anyone has done black deck on release

[orchid comet]

bu probably

I saw some video like "black deck, gold stake, jokerless" on the channel tf do u even do

[fading cobalt]

Is that a negative drivers license?

[manic talon]

idk personally but doc and a streamer called lifecoach has
lifecoach did a 15 streak on all decks gold stake like way before everyone else did and stopped streaming lmao

[solar solar]

no thats my texture pack

[west hemlock]

Obliesk is lowk one of those jokers I should be using but I’m always just like “ehhh but I don’t wanna”

[fading cobalt]

What stake?

[orchid comet]

below black

[orchid comet]

real

[fading cobalt]

🤦‍♂️

[warped prairie]

white, im newish

[fading cobalt]

Obelisk my beloved

Whenever I see obelisk I'm like a moth to a flame

And everytime I grab obelisk I win

Except those 2 times where I fucked up my choice with scaling

[white zodiac]

probably would have picked up beta release obby licks

[orchid comet]

rtb off ante 1 then obselik at ante 6

[white zodiac]

4*

[manic talon]

i mean, it would basically win you the game if you have planets, but you can only use madness (or gamble on what jokers he kills every small blind or big blind)

[white zodiac]

to7

[fading cobalt]

Ante 1 rtb is goated

Ante 6 obelisk is a skip imo

I mean technically you can scale it but its situational ig

[warped prairie]

i take back all complaints, thank you poly tag

[manic talon]

ante 6 is still enough to scale obelisk

[fading cobalt]

Yeah but its situational

[manic talon]

its not that situational

you can do it 70% of the time basically

[fading cobalt]

Its actually easier to scale obelisk at a high ante cuz you've already played X hand alot so you just need to pivot and you can easily scale

Assuming you have blue seals it gets even easier

[manic talon]

ante 6 is a high ante

[spring dragon]

Now for the age old debate

[left juniper]

Chicot is the best

[manic talon]

and you have RTB which means you most likely has a ton of pair stacked

[spring dragon]

Is it Perk A o, or Perk E o?

[fading cobalt]

Yeah I changed my argument lol I agree that obelisk is good at high antes

[left juniper]

Perkeo

[manic talon]

its perkeo

[fading cobalt]

No its perkao

[fading dome]

I thought it was perkelele

[fading cobalt]

You fools

[jagged torrent]

Take it and sell it since you're on white

[tepid perch]

What’s a good hand to play towards in jokerless

[left juniper]

I call him Perry for short

[pale wolf]

i think perky o sounds dumb

[fading cobalt]

They abandoned the run

[fading dome]

straights seem to work pretty well

[left juniper]

Straights scale the best

[fading cobalt]

What would you rather it be?

[manic talon]

usually straight, sometimes its 4oak

[pale wolf]

perkeo in the roman pronunciation

[manic talon]

wait wrong reply

[jagged torrent]

She perk on my o till I coppy

[manic talon]

yall green

[fading cobalt]

Like per ke o?

[left juniper]

No wait I felt important leave it

[pale wolf]

yea

[fading cobalt]

Thats a nice way of pronouncing it

[left juniper]

Straights of 4oak are good. I ended up doing 5oak through luck skill

[fervent wolf]

Throwback to the triple stuntman run

[fading cobalt]

A perkeo? Perkeo the platypus?!?

[manic talon]

you should do jokerless with flush trust 🙂

[jagged torrent]

5oak is soo bad for scaleing 😔

[left juniper]

Perkeo the perkypus... clean minds please

[fading cobalt]

Nah high card

[left juniper]

Wait lemme see

[manic talon]

i've done jokerless wit straight 4oak and flush just to feel something

[fading cobalt]

If you didnt say clean minds i wouldnt have even thought of anything dirty minded

[manic talon]

honestly you can do it if you find a steel blue seal or a steel red seal

[pale wolf]

I've done jokerless with

[jagged torrent]

Machosim speed run any %

[fading cobalt]

Fair enough

[white zodiac]

your feet

[jagged torrent]

What

[solar solar]

AND BALL I DID.

[left juniper]

No look ez

[manic talon]

jokerless is pretty fun ngl

[fading cobalt]

Its ironic that balatro can actually have an any% category

[left juniper]

lvl 34 5oak in jokerless no problem

[white zodiac]

can’t wait for the silly additional stake add ons

[jagged torrent]

Sorry but I like my jerkers 😔

[pale wolf]

what game cant

[jagged torrent]

Bbc my beloved

[fading cobalt]

Hmmmm

Technically none

[manic talon]

if you cant win without your jorkers you dont deserve to jork

[white zodiac]

tic tac toes 👣

[left juniper]

As an Australian I thought you were doing some name calling for a second 🙃

[fading cobalt]

Since every game has a trophy/achievement system

[pale wolf]

what name calling, cant

🤪

[jagged torrent]

Wait maby you are right vayn

[fading cobalt]

As an australian I'm confused what you mean

[left juniper]

@mods break 1 arm and 1 leg below the knee

[solar solar]

funniest run of all time

[pale wolf]

Don't look at this run it is too funny and you will die from laughter

[jagged torrent]

What did bro do

[solar solar]

i didnt think it would win honestly

i completely expected the bloodstones to fall flat eventually and kill me

[left juniper]

They know what they did

[fading cobalt]

Dude your texture pack keeps baiting me into thinking you have negative

What does it even look like when you DO get negatives?

[pale wolf]

you should expect that but sometimes it doesnt happen

[acoustic kettle]

I laughed

[fading cobalt]

Does it just turn pitch black?

[solar solar]

it was rlly fun ngl

[left juniper]

oh lmao I thought that too until you said it

[jagged torrent]

Alr @/mods get em pregnant and force them to play ultrakill without parrys

[manic talon]

if you believe hard enough that just wont happen

[solar solar]

lemme demonstrate

lets use like

negative hanging chad

[fading cobalt]

Playing ultrakill while pregnant is crazy

[pale wolf]

bloodstone backwards is enotsdoolb

[jagged torrent]

Teaching em young

[solar solar]

heres negative hanging chad

[fading cobalt]

Wow

So its just like reverse colours

Does a negative colourful joker return to normal state??

[pale wolf]

wait its upscaled as well as made dark mode

ew :c

[solar solar]

wym upscaled

[lunar zealot]

I am here!

[pale wolf]

wait nvm

[pale wolf]

hi!!

[hollow halo]

This doesn't matter at all bc I've already won but would u guys say that campfire is harder to gold sticker than cavendish?

Not harder but rarer

[fading cobalt]

No

Cavendish is more dependent on rng

[manic talon]

nah campfire is busted in gold stake

[pale wolf]

I would get cav out of the way

[jagged torrent]

Hi big k

[fading cobalt]

Kami I played a bbc run and it was peak

[manic talon]

i mean its a rare so its harder to find, but campfire is just too good

[hollow halo]

For sure but idk what I'm less likely to run into, just thinking about future runs

[white zodiac]

when you find a campfire you’re most likely to keep it for the rest of the run

[acoustic kettle]

Can cav still spawn after cav extincts

[hollow halo]

I guess cavendish since I'm relying on banana breaking

[acoustic kettle]

Never had it gone

[fading cobalt]

Yeah but some runs you dont find michel till late antes and not to mention those rare situations where it wont destroy

[hollow halo]

I think I've had that happen before

[manic talon]

it can

[pale wolf]

for cav you need to find a specific common and hold it for ~4 round and then find another specific common

[white zodiac]

cav can be annoying to find and can also technically kill itself on finisher blind

[fading cobalt]

Finisher build?

[hollow halo]

Good point

[manic talon]

yea cavendish is a whole ass minigame

[pale wolf]

exodian't

[lunar zealot]

Cavendish more like

[fading cobalt]

Cavenbish?

[hollow halo]

Well said🔥

[pale wolf]

calves on that bish

[fading cobalt]

I've seen only one clip of Cavendish going extinct in my entire life

[pale wolf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1387860177939726448/1403122996796854423/2025080723021400-EE327B3F1EA16B12FE45F55BCABC4BD6.mov?ex=69091a1f&is=6907c89f&hm=2e69e9723de565ff0771037aba668ba63f683f7c20dec44932d08c3b7aa63b64&

[hollow halo]

It's the most devastating feeling

[fading cobalt]

I can only imagine lol

[white zodiac]

i’ve had three events of banana 2 exploding

[pale wolf]

my first cav ever died in 6 rounds and it was before i knew enough about the game to know thats significant

[fading cobalt]

If you brainstorm/blueprint baron is it the same as using mime for baron?

[hollow halo]

I think I felt my lifespan decrease watching this 😭 ante 2 cavendish is so lucky

[fading dome]

depends on your setup, but generally, absolutely not

[pale wolf]

did you keep watching

[fading cobalt]

Cavendish is common??

[pale wolf]

yes?

[white zodiac]

that’s what the blue bubble says

[hollow halo]

Yeah, the end is precisely why my lifespan decreased 😔

[fading dome]

it would suck if it was uncommon/rare, it'd be so hard to find

[fading cobalt]

Always thought it was rare tbh

[pale wolf]

that would suck indeed

click on my profile btw

[fading cobalt]

I can't I'm paralysed

[graceful oasis]

clown is an econ joker if youre desperate

[fading cobalt]

[pale wolf]

thats good stuf with flash card since you reroll a lot

[fading cobalt]

Is that a poly to do list?

[pale wolf]

yum yum

[graceful oasis]

yeah thats the only reason im gonna sell him

but clown flash was my whole build lol

[pale wolf]

its ante 8

[hollow halo]

It's kinda hard to explain but I'll try- mime retriggers all of the ×1.5 effects attached to your kings. BP/BS on baron is just another ×1.5 on your kings.

So like-
If you have 3 barons, mime would make that 6 barons. But blueprint would just make it 4 barons

Or well

Not really

[graceful oasis]

yeah i just know the 1.5x will be better than the extra 6 mult on flash

so its time to depart

[fading cobalt]

If you had 1 baron what would it be then

[pale wolf]

more or less, not even counting the steels on it

[pale wolf]

yeye

[hollow halo]

With steel or with no steel?

[pale wolf]

no need for more scaling

[fading cobalt]

No steel

[fading dome]

if you had only 1 baron, no other held-in-hand jokers, and no steel/gold/blue sealed/red sealed cards, then yes, it'd be the same

[fading cobalt]

Ok then baron sucks

[pale wolf]

there should be more held in hand jokers

[fading dome]

petition to change blackboard into a held-in-hand joker

[hollow halo]

Mime and blueprint would have the same effect on your score then

[fading cobalt]

It is a held in hand joker technically

[orchid comet]

do I do ecto or cryptid rn

my deck isn't fixed much

maybe a tarot or two

[fading dome]

can't be retriggered by mime :(

[hollow halo]

Assuming no red seals

[fading cobalt]

None of your jokers are worth making negative imo

[pale wolf]

its a held in hand activation condition, not a held in hand effect

[hollow halo]

If red seals then blueprint would be better

[orchid comet]

rebate

[fading cobalt]

Replied to wrong person

[fading cobalt]

Fair enough

[pale wolf]

I think you do crypted on whichever you have the most ranks of, unless it's a balanced deck in which case maybe you just skip

[fading cobalt]

1/4 chance to get something decent or a guaranteed chance of fixing your deck

Hmmm

[orchid comet]

I could sell theeee astro and straight

[pale wolf]

just throwing a cryptid onto a plain card in an already full deck is bloat

[orchid comet]

I got astro cuz I wanted hand levels

[fading cobalt]

You could die

[hollow halo]

Lowkey neither

[pale wolf]

why are you calling space Joker Astro

[orchid comet]

that's not space joker

[pale wolf]

😎

[orchid comet]

alright I'll do neither

[pale wolf]

im jk

[orchid comet]

usually I always go for ecto

[orchid comet]

realised 😭

[pale wolf]

but yea skip

[white zodiac]

neither

[pale wolf]

hand size is necessary

[hollow halo]

Ecto would be sick but it's wheel of fortune odds rn and the punishment is more than losing out on $3 😭

[white zodiac]

ecto makes your rebate worse, ignoring other obvious punishments

[pale wolf]

Even if you could guarantee the ecto hitting rebate I think it would be losing

[upper needle]

i didn't want econ anyway

[lunar zealot]

what the fuck am i looking at

[fading cobalt]

What even happens here?? 😭

[lunar zealot]

death

they can't buy chad or planets anymore

[manic talon]

i think -9 dollars per round is certain death

[lunar zealot]

uh uh uh

double investment tag

or like handy or garbage

[hollow halo]

Can you even make money in this scenario without rly good skips

[lunar zealot]

that's literally the only thing that can save them

[manic talon]

spectral skip > wraith > burnt Trust

[fading cobalt]

I didn't even see the rentals

[fading cobalt]

Spectral skip > ankh > more photographs

[hollow halo]

Watch the spectral pack be incantation and grim 😭

[fading cobalt]

Or ankh

[hollow halo]

Abstract joker copy 🔥

Yk

There is a world in which incantation helps

With gold and lucky cards

[fading cobalt]

Then lucky card just refuses to trigger

[hollow halo]

1 in 15 chance my ass 💔

[orchid comet]

how is retcon unlocked is it just buying directors cut 10 times

[quick solar]

is this the best start to a run

[pale wolf]

it isnt an unlock

[fading dome]

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Retcon

[orchid comet]

oh

[pale wolf]

oh well I guess it is

[orchid comet]

I just never see it then

[fading dome]

but it is?

[empty mauve]

On abandoned deck probably

[orchid comet]

lmao

rtb on ante 4 worth getting?

[pale wolf]

yeah I never clocked it

[orchid comet]

ah well most my jokers r useless anyway

[pale wolf]

it seems like a very early unlock

[orchid comet]

I'll probably buy it

[quick solar]

should i save hands for more money or play them for more bus?

[fading dome]

Oh yeah most of the vouchers are like that. Every single (upgraded)* one has an unlock condition but most happen just by playing the game for a bit

[lunar zealot]

many are saying this

<@&1133519078540185692> crush his skull

thank you

[orchid comet]

play for bus I think

[orchid comet]

FINISH HIM!

[craggy hearth]

boom

[pale wolf]

this is opening my brain to the idea of an interesting challenge

[orchid comet]

the only one I knew was blank (cuz it's so awesome) and hone (cuz it's so shitty)

[quick solar]

okay now i defenitel;y play for bus

[orchid comet]

that's wild

W

[fading dome]

can't believe we're hating on Hone but not on Magic Trick smh

[quick solar]

do i take rental square

[orchid comet]

I meant the upgrade for it

[orchid comet]

no

[orchid comet]

having 5 jokers with effect is wild

[lyric canopy]

[orchid comet]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[quick solar]

now all i need is xmult and chips
\

[fading dome]

just anaglyph deck for the negative tag and you're off

[orchid comet]

negative doesn't count

but ye I used anaglyph for it

[orchid comet]

get faceless 🔥

[fading dome]

bro please, keep it sfw

[fading dome]

wait really? 🤔

[pale wolf]

play a run on a new profile into endless, trying to get the earliest fail-safe default blank voucher possible
I think the voucher unlocks I circled are the only unavoidable ones

[quick solar]

i could take eternal rebate

[orchid comet]

yeah it's 5 jokers with polychrome, holographic or foil effect

[humble gulch]

Finally, i hate this deck so much, it was even worse than Black Deck. I just need to beat Nebula Deck to Completionist+

[orchid comet]

lmaoo

hate when that happens

[fading dome]

Yeah that's what the unlock in-game says, but I'm wondering whether that's actually true or not. The wiki says negatives also count

[orchid comet]

good luck

[orchid comet]

oh?

[atomic trout]

If this were Black Deck.

[orchid comet]

that would've been nice to know

[cursive lion]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dENYJbN1z4

[pale wolf]

it has to be at once right

[fading dome]

Yeah, at once

[quick solar]

least lucky bus build

[pale wolf]

maybe ill smoke a bowl and play some white stake anaglyph

[cloud sinew]

you could definitely get failsafe blank before then if you just played on anaglyph

[orchid comet]

W

[pale wolf]

barring skips

[orchid comet]

why is ur rebate in the middle

💔

[cloud sinew]

why barring skips

[cloud sinew]

equality

[fading dome]

Yeah wiki's right, any edition (including negative) counts

[pale wolf]

the point is endurance challenge getting harder not playing anaglyph ante 8 til you get voucher skip at the end

[orchid comet]

how'd you check

[pale wolf]

also I don't know if you could unlock anaglyph without unlocking a lot of these vouchers?

[fading dome]

I double checked the code

[quick solar]

is it worth

[orchid comet]

damn

yes

oh wait nvm

ur not doing high card build probably not

it's also rental

[quick solar]

i mean i could pivor

i have no level in anything tho

[pale wolf]

You need chippies not multies

[quick solar]

i coudl also play for castle

but only 2 discards

[orchid comet]

why rental 😭

[fading dome]

don't unlocks only happen at the end of a run? so none of the vouchers would actually unlock during the run?

[pale wolf]

since you have rebate I would take it

[orchid comet]

no vouchers can be unlocked mid run

I found out with hone v2

[pale wolf]

they're not tied to finishing a run I believe

[fading dome]

oh interesting

[pale wolf]

I'm not sure if it's tied to entering and exiting the run though, if it has to be the same session

[cloud sinew]

you can unlock things in-run and it affects the current one

[fading dome]

ah my bad

[cloud sinew]

you can do it at the start by unlocking brainstorm and its in the second shop of the tutorial seed iirc

[pale wolf]

some achievements and unlocks get given to me mid-run, sometimes it's only after entering the game after closing it, sometimes it's after re-entering the run from main menu, it's weird

and I can't tell how much of it is just mobile being buggy

[orchid comet]

yeahh

[gritty oriole]

how hard is it to get undeeded naninf in balatrez

[orchid comet]

after getting 5 jokers with effects it didn't gimme it till I played for a bit for some reason

[cloud sinew]

the prompt where it shows you what you unlocked where you can press "continue" is after a run, but you also get a prompt in-run on the right

[pale wolf]

5

[orchid comet]

then it unlocked mid run

[gritty oriole]

balatro balatrez esta jugando a balatro

[gritty oriole]

thank you

[twin lantern]

literally the average obelisk run

[gritty oriole]

Okay but i wonder if its an actual achievement

[cloud sinew]

it isnt

and it shouldn't be :3

[gritty oriole]

no i mean like

[pale wolf]

naneinf? its something you can achieve
but its not a steam achievement

[gritty oriole]

not an ingame achievement

Like

not a steam achievement

just in general

[cloud sinew]

...?

[gritty oriole]

😭

[pale wolf]

The word achievement existed before video games Lilo

[gritty oriole]

liek is it impressive or not

thats what im asking

[warped prairie]

just unlocked green stake 😎

[white zodiac]

no

[delicate tide]

Nah

[cloud sinew]

right but we're talking about achievements in the context of a videogame

[delicate tide]

It came with Balatro

[white zodiac]

it depends on who you ask

[orchid comet]

W

which deck

[gritty oriole]

good point

[pale wolf]

I mean expressly they've said not that lol

[orchid comet]

yes I'd say it is

but I'm new

[quick solar]

do i take castle or bull

[cloud sinew]

'lotta yapping just for there to not be a decent explanation

[quick solar]

castle is at 36 rn

[warped prairie]

yellow

[cloud sinew]

not really, it's very easy to do if you know what goes into it

[pale wolf]

is climbing Mount Everest an achievement
is beating Mario in 5 minutes an achievement

[white zodiac]

if you asked me i would just say seed has a 1 in 5 chance to naneinf

[orchid comet]

nice

[cloud sinew]

in that it is something that has been achieved, yes.

[pale wolf]

moreover that it's an impressive or notable one

[craggy gale]

Ok I get why people play pairs on gold stake now
Damn the scaling goes hard

[orchid comet]

castle

[abstract vapor]

Idek what to do with this kind of seed

[gritty oriole]

how do you even get to that conclusion or us that just a random statement

[orchid comet]

I wanna reach this

[gritty oriole]

Wtf

[abstract vapor]

Like I could go with anything I want

[cloud sinew]

vibes based, also naneinf is very easy if you know what goes into it

[white zodiac]

voucher rng is usually the only limiting factor that’s out of your control

[pale wolf]

I myself don't get impressed by naneinf but only a small part of the player base does it so like

[gritty oriole]

ya i get that

[cloud sinew]

~1/8 seeds can crimson bean, so WAY more than that can naneinf

[gritty oriole]

is crimson bean the hand size gltich

[quick solar]

too late

[cloud sinew]

yes

[quick solar]

now the problem is that i win too fast

[white zodiac]

everything else is solved through econ

[pale wolf]

is longest stand on one foot while eating hotdogs impressive just because so few people do it

[quick solar]

cant scale bus as much

[orchid comet]

fr?

W

save money

[cloud sinew]

you should drop a bus for xmult eventually anyway

[quick solar]

thats what steel is for

[pale wolf]

That is in fact not what steel is for

[gritty oriole]

me n my friend did it randomly yesterday

[cloud sinew]

steel doesn't synergise well with bus' +mult because the xmult of steel triggers before bus

[delicate tide]

Steel joker 🔥

[pale wolf]

ah my folly

[gritty oriole]

he got a pretty insane seed and i ended up backseating his run for like 3 hours😭

[pale wolf]

nice

[white zodiac]

multiple flat mult yields diminishing returns without x mult after bus

[pale wolf]

random seed without hunting for naneinf is impressive i think

[orchid comet]

forgot I was playing too

[cloud sinew]

i did that but with crimson/bean because otherwise it would be boring as hell

[orchid comet]

ante 4 rtb worth it?

[white zodiac]

gs naneinf was something i almost had the technology for

[cloud sinew]

more context is needed, but im airing on the side of "no"

[gritty oriole]

he deadass just pinged me saying that he got perkeo + yorick on ante 3 so i decided to see if the run would end up being any good

[vernal bay]

[white zodiac]

was 40 stencils short :(

[cloud sinew]

no

[orchid comet]

I have no use for the 1st joker

alright

[pale wolf]

blue deck, both handy vouchers, burglar, 3 blueprints, and 3 negative mr bones

[orchid comet]

I'll reroll

[cloud sinew]

you dont need a +chips?

[pale wolf]

im assuming

[cloud sinew]

wrong!

[orchid comet]

it's still at 15 I'm not doing straights

usually full house or flush

[pale wolf]

I think they're still lying

im right

[vernal bay]

Your scaling is coming from the bootsraps, sell abstract and pick up drunkard

[cloud sinew]

you should run straights, you dont have any other +chips

[white zodiac]

runner isn’t a straights joker

it’s a

[pale wolf]

if you played the straights then you would have the chips for the hands you're actually playing

[orchid comet]

alright

[orchid comet]

do I do this?

doesn't abstract have more value cuz it's black deck

[cloud sinew]

yes

[orchid comet]

alright

[pale wolf]

seems valid to me

[cloud sinew]

sure but it doesnt do much here because of bootstraps

you have +40 from boots

[white zodiac]

benefits runner and rebate

[orchid comet]

true

[vernal bay]

And drunkard will help you form straights for the chips you're missing

[cloud sinew]

means you get more money from rebate, and you play more straights for runner

[orchid comet]

rerolled and it's baseball

[cloud sinew]

uhhh

[quick solar]

is this my xmult

[orchid comet]

sell astro for baseball?

[quick solar]

tc has 1 round left

[cloud sinew]

i would drop trading card for it

[quick solar]

anti synergy with bull tho

[humble gulch]

All decks on gold stake

[cloud sinew]

drop drunkard i think

[quick solar]

ill still take it tho

[orchid comet]

W

[cloud sinew]

ik you just got it but that doesnt change anything about the evaluation

[vernal bay]

Agreed

[white zodiac]

drunky perishes, astro may be replaced soo

wins like this dont feel good anymore

[cloud sinew]

astro is to be replaced with something better than 1.5x

[white zodiac]

soon

yeah

[cloud sinew]

thats why I streak

[orchid comet]

oh right astro is uncommon

[white zodiac]

that’s why i used to streak

[orchid comet]

yeah makes sense

[white zodiac]

now i’m contemplating my future runs knowing my 4th run today won’t get stickered

[atomic trout]

How does this keep on happening??

[white zodiac]

idk, i didn’t see it

[pale wolf]

trying to streak only gives me more boring runs, not more interesting

[cloud sinew]

do you want the honest answer

[pale wolf]

I'm still attempting to streak though

[cloud sinew]

idk, ive found it to be the opposite

[eternal anchor]

Abandoned on Purple stake took me many more tries than it needed to but I'm finally ready to beat it on Gold

[white zodiac]

try uhhh ghost deck idk

[orchid comet]

I insta win on straights 💔

[pale wolf]

actually I Guess I'm just confused at how this is exclusive with streaking

[orchid comet]

try black deck 💯

[white zodiac]

move boots to the far right

[pale wolf]

i do occasionally

I have light work on a black only c++ profile but been busy past couple weeks

[white zodiac]

nice

[pale wolf]

im at purple

[white zodiac]

i don’t wanna look at balatro rn

oh

idk why i thought you were on gs already

[pale wolf]

i play slow

[orchid comet]

could there be a worse boss if I reroll the water

[white zodiac]

that’s fair

[shell dagger]

i just click unlock all

[orchid comet]

I can't do rebate in it

[shell dagger]

for deck c++ profiles

[white zodiac]

prob ox idk

[pale wolf]

I like the idea of being able to scroll through the menu though

[white zodiac]

i like having half of the decks locked

[balmy ridge]

perishable only run?

[shell dagger]

True

[quick solar]

guys im cooked

i didnt scale enough

[jagged torrent]

Soul in fool

[lunar zealot]

what the blast

[quick solar]

rip violet vessel

heres the seed

[lunar zealot]

you definitely could have won

[pale wolf]

i could...

[quick solar]

idk how i made a new discobvery??

[quick solar]

i know im just bad

[pale wolf]

yeah the new discoveries section of the results screen continues to be a complete mystery

[quick solar]

i had a chance to take hologrqam over constellation i probably shouldve done it

[pale wolf]

I'm not sure anybody knows what it is, it might be bugged honestly

[warped prairie]

ancient joker was keeping the run alive and smeared ended me

[balmy ridge]

always

[pale wolf]

just sell the smeared?

[balmy ridge]

sell it lol

[warped prairie]

yeah i thought ab it approx 3 hands and 5 discards in

[pale wolf]

rip

[warped prairie]

small brain moment

[manic talon]

[pale wolf]

You could still survive maybe

[warped prairie]

[warped prairie]

[warped prairie]

i am my biggest enemy on this game

[pale wolf]

mmm i hate money

[warped prairie]

i am the boss blind

can never remember to pop hex card before buying more stuff

[quick solar]

thanks riffraff

[pale wolf]

wow okay so some starts of runs are just so fucking juiced

[warped prairie]

[pale wolf]

this sucks

/s

i read it often

[pale wolf]

[warped prairie]

data transfer these [REDACTED]

[pale wolf]

its originally a reference to html syntax

[vernal bay]

Sell half joker for campfire, no?

[warped prairie]

sold business card 1 round ago for the hex to land, this game loves me rn

[nova mantle]

Im missing 1 run to gold stake nebula but it's genuinely so ass 1 consumable slot is miserable

[pale wolf]

big blind shop? or just gonna skip

[vernal bay]

Skipping

My deck is fixed enough at this point

[pale wolf]

You only need to skip once

[nova mantle]

You can go for it, I see you got nice econ

[pale wolf]

might as well use the extra shops for campfire next ante by skipping this ante

[pale wolf]

It's so boring

[craggy gale]

random ass build for a pretty free gold stake win

The one time I get value out of drivers license

[manic talon]

Play flushes until the game tells you not to

[quick solar]

who do i sell

[oblique matrix]

OA6

[quick solar]

💀

surely

[manic talon]

Banner 🙂

[quick solar]

😭

[oblique matrix]

sell bp

[quick solar]

real

[manic talon]

Either 8 ball or erosion

[vocal warren]

idk guys, I think i beat the blinds. What you guys think

[nova mantle]

8 ball is doing NOTHING unless your entire deck is 8's 😭

[manic talon]

They have dice

[quick solar]

also abandoned so alot more likely to hit ranks

it might be erosion here ngl

even tho its my biggest source of mult rn

[nova mantle]

I forgor well then sell erosion unless it has a lot of mult

[quick solar]

although wee hasnt scaled that much

i could get rid of it

[proven gulch]

still less than photochad 😔

[nova mantle]

Well if it's your source of mult don't sell it

Banner is there for your chips

[quick solar]

goodbye wee ig

[nova mantle]

I'd give up wee

[vocal warren]

Photograph got slaughtered

[pale wolf]

beautiful shop

[vocal warren]

Cinema

[vernal bay]

Love me a clutch x-mult.

[quick solar]

ok ig i have xmult now

[proven gulch]

copy 8ball! greeed

[nova mantle]

Genuinely

I got pretty tired of grinding gold stakes so once I do get nebula I'll take a break then come back for the last 5

[vocal warren]

I want y'all to know i died after

because the fucking bell decided to show up

[proven gulch]

plan?

[vocal warren]

stupid ass bell

[quick solar]

ONE IN FOUR 🔥

[proven gulch]

bel?

[nova mantle]

From THIS???

[pale wolf]

think it might be worth juggler over faceless

[vocal warren]

Let me explain

[nova mantle]

How you died from THAT?

[vocal warren]

Im doing the knife challenge

[nova mantle]

[vocal warren]

I get to ante 8

my seltzer dies

and then cerulean bell decided it wanted to show out

and it fell on me, crushing every bone in my body into dust

[proven gulch]

shouldve full skipped!

[vocal warren]

No dice

[nova mantle]

CERULEAN BELL?? YER DIED FROM CERULEAN BELL

[vocal warren]

Seltzer would've been dead regardless

[nova mantle]

Fumble of the century

[proven gulch]

i love mr bones he's so underrated

[balmy ridge]

its ante 2 surely u just die

[vocal warren]

I have unkind words to say to you

[quick solar]

i never take this right

[nova mantle]

I'm now curious what was your build

[proven gulch]

free insurance if you miss draws or order jokers wrong or reset your bus

[nova mantle]

Coz in my months of playing cerulean bell hasn't killed me a single time

[vocal warren]

Ngl, I ain't have one

I wasnt building for a specific hand

especially since I was doing the knife challenge

[proven gulch]

8ball?

[nova mantle]

I apologize

[proven gulch]

and hope it misses the dice

[vocal warren]

I have kind words to say to you

[nova mantle]

Yay

[balmy ridge]

i think its fine

maybe sell 8ball before invis

[pale wolf]

i suppose ive only seen money tarots

[vocal warren]

I dont deck build on specific challenges since I feel like deck building will fuck me over

[quick solar]

its a bout a thierd of my deck rn

so not that buuilt

[white zodiac]

erm what the discard

[nova mantle]

Knifes edge isn't the hardest challenge out there I'm sure next attempt youll manage to beat it

[vocal warren]

how big is ur deck bro

[quick solar]

who do i sell for the slot tho

[pale wolf]

sygnergy

[quick solar]

31 crads

[abstract vapor]

Chat which one do i get rid of

[vocal warren]

Thats the thing too

[pale wolf]

but the shops are barren

[vocal warren]

I've literally won this challenge before

against the bell too
