vale shale
#

I lost for being stupid

#

I had a pair and a 3oak

#

I had half joker

pure oasis
#

is the Burnt Joker good here and if it is what to replace with it?

vale shale
#

But the 3oak had a gold card

#

So I did the pair instesd

wintry ice
#

i don't think you have the time to scale it unless magic trick is in the shop

shell dagger
#

Then after a few rounds clever joker should be on the chopping board

pure oasis
#

yeah, trying to find the photo i guess

manic talon
#

strongest constellation (he will be sacrificed soon)

wintry ice
#

and people call this joker good smh

literally only 1.1X and dies in small blind, literally unplayable

I miss playing balatro

#

I dont play it since 7 minutes ago

#

rental rocket kinda goes hard, you need to tough it out for 2 antes but after that youre so set

tacit quail
#

plasma is literally whatever the fuck

#

lv14 straight

#

not terrible fixing

wintry ice
#

4 fingers runner moment

tacit quail
#

literally had a ice cream pop on the boss blind

#

that mf giving me 5 chips

#

and i forgot to replace it

manic talon
#

runner so good on plasma

tacit quail
#

yeh

#

hey it was juuust enough for ante 8 so

random ice
#

Jimbo did heavy lifting

twin lantern
#

wsg gnggg

north smelt
#

Rate scuffed run

wintry ice
#

chipful

dense wraith
#

am I scaling square joker enough

wintry ice
#

are you winning early

dense wraith
#

the run itself has been fine so far

wintry ice
#

just move c2 to the left if you don't need the scoring

tacit quail
#

guys do you think i can do the elusive chips to xmult plasma deck pivot ?

#

lv4 straight atm so 13 base mult

#

i dont think i can

#

odd todd eternal was an error tbh but its what its

tacit quail
#

could be worth over tarot and scaryface maybe then see what hearts be doin

manic talon
#

nice

jagged valve
#

Had a brainstorm and a stencil, got 2 spectral packs on shop, ankh'd stencil thinking I'd just keep 2 stencils, then next pack I get a wraith with blueprint on it 🥹🥹

pale wolf
#

there was literally no reason the game should have been that close, I just didn't look at my deck for some reason

#

imagine a world where I don't play high

#

100 streak

#

That's what I would do if I had a paycheck from this

dense wraith
#

my ass is struggling with scoring and violet vessel shows up, I have to take the reroll skip to even have a chance of surviving

pale wolf
#

You should count yourself very lucky to see a boss reroll tag on VV

dense wraith
#

I nearly died multiple times from little scoring in general

shell dagger
#

4 more stickers ><

dense wraith
#

my lineup looks like this btw

pale wolf
#

glyph time

pale wolf
shell dagger
#

i only saw 2 temps this run 😞

pale wolf
dense wraith
#

run ends on small blind anyway

turbid reef
#

Dindijdindindidnidjdn

pale wolf
#

I knew it

shell dagger
turbid reef
shell dagger
#

even the hands todd was disabled i was scoring 200k

vocal rose
pale wolf
#

I really need to lock in next time I play, probably on my break today

vocal rose
#

you had early square and rtb right?

pale wolf
#

I want to get a five streak

dense wraith
vocal rose
#

what were they both at

vocal rose
#

I got close before

dense wraith
#

rtb was around 50 something and square was at around 180

pale wolf
turbid reef
vocal rose
turbid reef
#

I did that challenge but without winning

vocal rose
dense wraith
pale wolf
#

180 is like 12 full rounds of square scaling

turbid reef
#

Why do people use square it’s so ass

vocal rose
#

both are pretty low for when you found them

shell dagger
#

because it isn’t ass

pale wolf
#

😎

dense wraith
#

also I was broke for most of the run

turbid reef
#

No I’m being genuine. It scales so slowly I’d rather use anything else

vocal rose
shell dagger
#

i think you held onto abstract joker for too long

vocal rose
#

if you think square joker is “slow scaling” and “bad”

shell dagger
dense wraith
shell dagger
#

also you’d rather use anything else but chips scalers are rare so you are unlikely to find another one quickly

vocal rose
pale wolf
#

The money is so that you can find scoring

shell dagger
#

yeah

#

you have the scoring already

hushed mantle
#

Not quite naenif yet

vocal rose
#

and RTB by itself can carry you until you get interest cap

shell dagger
#

especially on abandoned deck

pale wolf
#

is foil square worse than normal square early

shell dagger
#

no

pale wolf
#

My total chip output always ends up being smaller with the foil but I guess it's safer throughout the game

shell dagger
#

i doubt it ends up at a lower value

pale wolf
#

It's happened to me two or three times

wintry ice
vocal rose
#

rtb/green joker + square would also be hard to scale every hand tho

#

because of how much you score

#

but then how did you become broke???

#

im a little confused

pale wolf
#

rerolling for Baron of course

vocal rose
#

like if you aren’t able to scale every hand

#

you’re gonna have money left over

#

leading to interest quicker

#

quite early too…

tacit quail
#

Weeeee

#

when youre weeing

royal bobcat

The humble hack:

tacit quail

Maybe top 4

Yeah probably top 4

pale wolf

hologram constellation yorick campfire obelisk canio

fading cobalt
#

I would say glass is better than campfire

pale wolf
#

I would not

#

Glass Joker is decent but you need specific tarots or hits from packs to scale it

lunar zealot
#

and you need glasses to even find it

#

and you don't always make glasses

pale wolf
#

its strictly worse than canio which is already worse than campfire imo

particularly for Violet vessel but yeah it scales as high as you need it to go as long as you're playing with proper economy

Credit card let me keep money while I can still get value off of vagabond

white zodiac

so I could ramp it up more

in shop

pale wolf

I don't like credit card with vagabond that much

white zodiac

same

#

I don't really take it ever

pale wolf
#

from my perspective, it really only lets you not pay attention to rerolling

since you don't want to be massively in debt

I still wanna use the shop and my joker slot

i do think cutting unwanted cards instead of stuffing wanted cards is not in the agenda

royal bobcat
#

GIVE ME MORE JACKS

#

but sir, you have other car-

nova mantle
amber vigil
#

you couldnt cut properly because of the SEVERE lack of purple seals

#

purple seals are so good bro

#

they literally self replicate

nova mantle
#

I've once had a 31 card deck with a single ace which wasn't fixed and guess what idol chose egg

nova mantle
rocky nest
royal bobcat
#

purple seals are deck fixing gods

#

thats why certificate has virtually no downsides!

#

unlessssss you get 20 red seals

nova mantle
#

If you have a deck at that level of deckfix you should also have your econ managed so you should be able to find at least a death or a hanged man every shop and slowly trim yo deck

nova mantle
amber vigil
#

a few purple seals can really help, specially if they are on cards with suits and ranks you want to deck fix towards

royal bobcat
#

you jest, but it's true

nova mantle
#

Every time you discard a purple seal, create a copy of said seal

royal bobcat
#

well, it's a 1 in 22 change to create a copy yes

amber vigil
#

good luck and purple seals can literally get idol online by ante 8

nova mantle
royal bobcat
amber vigil
#

well idk about certificate but standard packs are a priority now that i know how goddamn powerful purple seals are

cloud sinew
#

blue streak of 2 :P

amber vigil
#

also tower can nullify any bad effects towards idol by the purple seal itself

nova mantle
cloud sinew
amber vigil
#

you wring out ALL the value you can from seals

#

every last drop

nova mantle
#

Even if you consumable block with 3 slots it only reduces it to 4 in 19

tower is only really deckfixing for idol specifically

surprisingly consistenttoo

will i target them first with death? yeah but its pretty marginal imo

nova mantle

Random question but what happens if you immolate with a very small hand size ?

cloud sinew
hot geyser
amber vigil
#

its a positive feedback loop esentially

pale wolf
#

yeah it's just a soft lock, re-entering the run fixes it

#

because of savesscumming

#

i hope the pet ankh glitch never gets fixed

north spindle
#

whats the pet ankh glitch?

pale wolf
#

on ghost deck if you try to buy and use an ankh with full slots it purchases the ankh and lets it just be placed anywhere on the table for the rest of the run

wintry ice
#

it's better to change a card you can't play into a card you can play

amber vigil
#

not to mention that having purple seal doesnt debar you from the shop, having purple seals doesnt take any consumable space, joker slots or take away from econ

#

oh wait i forgot c was more than just jokers lol

#

insane that you can get all 3 independently of each other

paper night
#

meanwhile u can get all 3 at once

north spindle
#

im surprised illusion isnt the sticking pt

paper night
#

providing u got the right luck
and the right deck
and the right build
and gets slapped

willow frost
#

lmao

amber vigil
north spindle
#

seems like by far the least common thing to obtain to me probably?

amber vigil
#

I have never used illusion, ouija and glass joker

north spindle
#

like planet tycoon is also rare but unlocking the ability for it to appear is pretty fast

north spindle
#

whereas i had to specifically unlock illusion after everything else iirc

lyric shore
#

and you might see it early on zodiac

amber vigil
#

i mean planet tycoon is kinda useful if you are running constellation

amber vigil
north spindle
#

illusion is usefu maybel if you're running hologram
but like... yeah

#

both are pretty terrible

paper night
amber vigil
#

specially base magic trick is like really bad isnt it?

#

Like it only gives regular cards?

north spindle
paper night
#

meanwhile illusion: "and do u want extra spice on top"

amber vigil
#

"would you like to miss out on tarots and jokers to buy a 7 of clubs"

north spindle
#

if base magic trick pulled like standard packs do it might actually be ok

floral mural
#

both cant give seals which would be the only reasons you usually wanna add cards to a deck

amber vigil
#

amd illusion had better chances for seals and editions

willow frost
#

ive only wanted magic trick with hologram and in that one failed naneinf run where i desperately needed more cards to turn into kings

north spindle
#

largely bc seeing purple/blue seals would make it actually worth it

you said mouth's effect

Mouth would do nothing here

is hc strong too then?

mouth is free anyway isnt it

cloud sinew

Mouth is only 1 hand type
Eye is no repeat hand types

breaking news: mouth is just needle but it kills you slowly

so mouth

red deck gold stake, 11/15! goldened burglar, space man and red card!

north spindle
#

and your scaling is on pair

#

its not likely but ive had my burglar runs die like that before

cloud sinew
#

mouth would actually help me right now

#

because I'm scoring too quick to dig for my blue seals

#

I can just play a pair, then play anything but a pair to dig for my blue seals

inevitably results in arguing

Fair enough

hello! is there a score calculator mod that would be recommended?

i dont really see what just happened as an argument
more of a discussion

if you don't want to use a mod for it

but yeah what iceave said

#

make sure to disable "Preview Score If Cards Face Down" in the settings though

#

its on by default for some odd reason

cloud sinew
#

VV Ante 8, I could reroll but then I run the risk of it bouncing between groker/const/DL against crimson, which is worse than just facing VV

#

and I think I'm okay scoring wise

#

I can definitely win in 8 hands

i finally got my dagger sticker yesterday
what a headache

manic talon
amber vigil
#

whats the most consistent strategy for jokerless

manic talon
#

Dagger is so fun ngl

manic talon
north spindle
#

like what it asks for is pretty demanding and the reward does not feel proportional to how much effort u put into it

royal bobcat
manic talon
#

Especially Dagger + egg, is like +6 mult per round but you have to cash it out, its a fun dynamic

royal bobcat
#

depending on what you want it's either the cheapest, one of the fastest, or in between

north spindle
#

like unless you have a ton a ton of cash to burn its usually +4/round ime

manic talon
#

Atleast its cheaper than flash card

amber vigil
north spindle
#

which is like... fine but it also takes up an extra joker slot while doing this

amber vigil
#

idk

north spindle
#

didnt meant to make that a reply oops

amber vigil
#

i mean the main drawback is dagger is the slot is it not?

royal bobcat
#

dagger is usually a mult per dollar, which is the average for a commom mult scaler. uncommons are either way worse or better

amber vigil
#

that you need to decide at some point to stop scaling and have to constantly micro the positions

royal bobcat
#

you can have a full joker roster, just not while scaling the dagger

manic talon
#

5 joker slots are overrated

# royal bobcat really?

Blueprint is a copy your best joker, and your best joker changes in each phase of the game, at worst its one more of a joker at best its 4 or more extra jokers that you have

royal bobcat
#

brainstorm this high?

cloud sinew
#

that was just a relative comparison

#

not the top 3

royal bobcat
#

oh okay i see i see

#

i was confused

cloud sinew
#

im just saying that blueprint is better than rebate, but rebate is better than brainstorm

cloud sinew
#

because of compatibility

manic talon
#

Worse than jimbo balatrojoker

sometimes yeah lol

which is so funny to me

Damn bottom 1 joker smh

True, yorick is bottom 1

formal trout

that title still goes to showman

#

Matador

cloud sinew
formal trout
#

Matador might be genuinely useless to me

shell current
#

Matador is like a super hermit card that gets copied by blueprint

manic talon
#

Matador is basically an investment tag

formal trout
#

its usecase is very specific money printer

cloud sinew
#

matador rewards checking the boss blind

formal trout
#

maybe good for endless but for ante 8 eh not gonna risk it

cloud sinew
manic talon
#

Cant wait for the rework so matador's effect actually makes sense

formal trout
#

oh boy where did i said about "very specific money printer"

cloud sinew
manic talon
#

Does matador even have a usecase past ante 8

formal trout
#

not really

wintry ice
#

balatro players and reading

formal trout
#

unless you like stimulant

shell current
north spindle
#

nat neg matador is still more useful than like
a majority of nat neg cards at least i think?

#

post a8

formal trout
cloud sinew
manic talon
#

Matador hitting a boss is like 24 dollars, thats an investment tag -1 dollar

#

Well technically you get interest too so its more than tag

cloud sinew
manic talon
#

Still why doesnt it work on face downs, hook, or tooth, arbitrary ass rules

formal trout
#

passive i suppose, it only procs everytime the knock sound of the boss blind

#

and if matador able to negate tooth chicot would be a nothingburger card

#

and facedowns dont do that

cloud sinew
formal trout
#

there should be a more elegant solution

cloud sinew
#

thats why it's being reworked

formal trout
#

like intentionally picking facedowns

#

then it will proc

#

tho picking facedown per dollar in a face build

#

we are getting another stimulant boys

cloud sinew
#

so it's very weird that flint triggers matador but hook doesnt

formal trout
#

Gros Michel dies should turn into Deluxe Michel

#

just a bundle of banans

shell current
#

Flint is also a “mandatory” effect so it doesn’t make sense from a gameplay perspective

#

There’s no added risk to playing all your hands vs the flint whereas there is some risk to doing so vs the hook

formal trout
orchid comet
#

im so bored I could eat a horse rn

pale wolf
#

yeah I still think that matador should just be triggering any avoidable boss effect

vocal rose
#

or are there exceptions

#

matador always confuses me

cloud sinew
night turret
#

How does anyone use this in an actual deck?

north spindle
#

avoidable boss effect also seems kind of rough to me
because what does avoidable mean
like you can play lvl 1 hands against the arm so is that avoidable

night turret
#

I’m guessing the checked deck?

north spindle
#

technicaly hook is avoidable because with a small hs you can fail to have cards left to discard

shell dagger
royal bobcat
#

Every boss blind is avoidable if you score enough points balatrojoker

shell dagger
#

most spectral cards don’t make it easier to play straight flushes

cloud sinew

Playing a five card hand with five hand size is crazy work

pliant jewel
#

wait, if you have 5 hand size, and play all 5 cards, does the hook actually "discard"
as in, does it reduce grimbo mult

glossy furnace
#

might take lucky cat instead of the acient joker

glossy furnace
#

we take lucky for ancient?

#

nah

cloud sinew
shell dagger
#

lucky is more fun

glossy furnace
#

gulp

cloud sinew
#

ancient isnt as reliable as lucky considering you have hack

shell dagger
#

and you have 2400 chips so u aren’t at risk of dying in the next 3 antes

#

2700 even

cloud sinew
#

at most you'd need to play two hands against vessel

nah white stake

oh true you win regardless

not even going to pivot lol

cloud sinew

you have parking, troub and baron right there...

and you already have a negative DNA

you could keep one wee and youd be fine for a8

glossy furnace
#

could get trib for a wee

trib for better scalling

#

chips wise

Yeah

unreal island
#

Second file going smooth so far

#

Love u obbiepoo balatroheart

unreal island
#

Familiar gotta be one of the most underrated spectrals

#

Getting it early allows u to start building towards a certain face card from the getgo

#

And all u need to turn certain faces into a desired other face is a strength (unless ur going for jacks but just strengthen ur 10s)

#

Ofc im never taking a familiar over an immo but still

north spindle
#

i mean
i think its fine
though definitely in the lower half of spectrals

floral mural
#

grim is still the best card gen for non hologram needs

#

consistent single rank is good

north spindle
#

the main thing is just that other than hologram its best case is still just like
fine

floral mural
#

although i never take them seriously ngl

#

theyre funny gamble in my head without hologram

cloud sinew
floral mural
#

drivers license also makes sense i forgot

north spindle
#

i wpuld consider it for drivers licence if desperate

cloud sinew
#

also grim is good if you want to avoid deck bloat because youre only adding one extra card to the deck

white zodiac
north spindle
#

familiar is also nice bc of face card synergies

floral mural
#

but generally i dont see much use in adding random cards i cant choose directly even if i have a synergy

#

ngl

#

(by synergy i mean rank synergy(

adding glass to deck for deck thinning and also glass joker is a very common reason to take justice for me
