[languid pecan]

better question why did you reroll boss

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt work retroactively

[void briar]

cause surely it cant be worse than plant

[languid pecan]

do you mean naneinf

[unkempt creek]

wasnt sure havent used it just read something about savestates

[jagged torrent]

Playing high sets money to zero:(

I need my dna to live

[potent tree]

if we were still allowed to post gifs i found some funny plant ones

[languid pecan]

why?

[crystal field]

we cant be trusted w gifs? rip

[vale jetty]

What ante you going for?

[alpine hollow]

spend it all at the shop first, then enter

[void briar]

you would rather die than lose all your money

[potent tree]

bro ox isn't even thst bad

[languid pecan]

youre not a baron build...

[jagged torrent]

27 ish

[languid pecan]

you dont need dna

[crystal field]

[royal bobcat]

Yeah I had to throw up so I needed Jenny to stop the bus so I could leave

[jagged torrent]

My class cards 💔

[alpine hollow]

i could make a capitlism joke or something

[jagged torrent]

I need those to live lmao

[jagged torrent]

How tf was I supposed to know it was gonna be the plant 😔 💔

[cloud sinew]

unironically though it's optimal if you have matador and youre going against Plant, or you have glass and you dont wanna break it, etc...

[void briar]

thats what you risk by rolling once

[vale jetty]

Off topic but every economics teacher I’ve ever had has loved me since my legal name is Adam Smith…..

[alpine hollow]

lmao

[crystal field]

oh no

[cloud sinew]

you weren't, you were supposed to not take the risk
-$200 vs ~1/x to die

[potent tree]

bosses can't be repeated right?

[cloud sinew]

not until you see every boss in the pool

[languid pecan]

yes and no

[vale jetty]

I personally invented capitalism

[jagged torrent]

I thought it wasn't going to reroll into the plant since I already faced it

Mb

[potent tree]

yeah that's what i was getting to next

[crystal field]

hes bull

[potent tree]

slow typer

[mortal nimbus]

I found the post with the fix
https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/comments/1e8oy0x/will_naneinf_always_crash_the_game/

[vale jetty]

If only I was a Taurus, I’d be the chosen one

[jagged torrent]

@cloud sinew can you reroll into the same boss I've you haven't seen all the bosses yet?

[crystal field]

zodiac consumables! what could they do…

[cloud sinew]

you might be if you look at an accurate star signs chart

[potent tree]

i'm a gemini

[alpine hollow]

did you know that the bss blinds are named after the meaning of the symbols, which is the ancinet polynesian alphabet

[vale jetty]

I like my sign tho why ruin it

[jagged torrent]

Well that doesn't make any sense, how tf did I get plant twice 💔

[cloud sinew]

because it's not accurate

[languid pecan]

guys what deck do i play

[crystal field]

Phoenician i think but yes

[alpine hollow]

probably rerolled too many times

[jagged torrent]

Plasma

[cloud sinew]

Flint's is made up

[vale jetty]

Where do I look now I’m curious

[alpine hollow]

thats it!

[languid pecan]

i dont wanna 🙁

[alpine hollow]

correct

[mortal nimbus]

You can reroll from a boss to that exact same boss if the first instance is last in the initial queue, and the second instance is first in the second queue

[jagged torrent]

Can't, I didn't see the serpent onece

[languid pecan]

i havent tried doing plasma all chips tho gold stake i suppose

[alpine hollow]

idk then

[crystal field]

plasma all chips is pretty easy i think thats how I beat it the first time gold stake

[cloud sinew]

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/upshot/zodiac-signs.html

[potent tree]

which circle is the current one

[vale jetty]

I have to pay for it sadly

[alpine hollow]

if you get helmet guy on plasma its an easy win

[potent tree]

"helmet guy"

[alpine hollow]

i forogt the name

[potent tree]

stuntman is now helmet guy

[crystal field]

VROOOOM

[cloud sinew]

you wont win consistently that way, but if youre just wanting to force a run and win once without caring how many times you lose, yeah

[alpine hollow]

thats the one

[crystal field]

this was prob months ago

[languid pecan]

it isnt?

[alpine hollow]

my brain is really cooked rn

[crystal field]

and tbf im a pretty new player

[languid pecan]

im bad at plasma

[crystal field]

[grave magnet]

my only uncommon is hiker. should i take baseball card?

[potent tree]

then put it in a time machine so it becomes raw

[languid pecan]

i beat gold stake plasma so long ago i forget what i did for it

[potent tree]

as a hiker appreciator i say yes.

[crystal field]

thats totally fair

[cloud sinew]

you can't win at gold stake on plasma deck 100% of the time with chips only, there are runs where the only lines that win [without foresight driven optimal plays] are by pivoting to mult

[potent tree]

away with sly joker

[severe arch]

Guys what if instead of Balatro it's UNO

[grave magnet]

i only took em because im doing a pair run

[jagged torrent]

Probably x mult, there's not really any other way to get around gold plasma scaleing

[potent tree]

you get 120 chips at least from scary face and chad

[grave magnet]

tru

[potent tree]

atp xmult will be more beneficial than chips

[crystal field]

just get 5 wees

[cloud sinew]

juggler > sly
baseball > scary

[opal delta]

WHAT THE HECK I DONT WANNA BE CANCER

[crystal field]

and 52 2s

[potent tree]

i finally had a wee run 2 days ago but only got it to like 300 ish

[crystal field]

I mean 300 chips not bad

[alpine hollow]

youve gotten gold stake before ive even unlocked it

[potent tree]

people got 2k sometimes

[severe arch]

you're an umamusume fan you already are unfortunately

[crystal field]

I started playing this summer ! but I dont play often lowkey

[alpine hollow]

Cancers the crab though

[vale jetty]

Still not a Taurus with the accurate one 😞

[crystal field]

actually the best resource for me has been balaU

[alpine hollow]

ive had it for about half a year, and ive only unlocked orange on 2 decks

[crystal field]

love drspectred

[opal delta]

according to scentists the dates for zodiacs changed

[alpine hollow]

whats that?

[crystal field]

Balatro University youtube channel

[potent tree]

balatro university drspectred

[crystal field]

has lots of good info for how to go about gold stake

❤️

[alpine hollow]

theres actually two types of zodiacs: topical and sidereal

[potent tree]

and zodiac deck

[alpine hollow]

oh, that guy

[proper flame]

I know you've probably made your decision already but this scenario is basically exchanging a joker slot to make your hiker polychrome except you're paying 8 dollars

[crystal field]

will also help for lower stakes as well

[potent tree]

which i have not used in months

[proper flame]

At that stage in the game I still take it tho

[alpine hollow]

ive found the best way to win is get really lucky

[vale jetty]

In my personal experience just watching good player play regularly helps me improve the best

[crystal field]

this is true

[opal delta]

wait what

[proper flame]

My strategy to win:
Find photochad
Find Justice
Avoid Plant

[crystal field]

if you get a legendary its guaranteed lucky win right?

heh

[unkempt creek]

chicot begs to differ

[proper flame]

one time i got chicot and died instantly

[unkempt creek]

i personally love chicot

but some people just die because of the goat

[crystal field]

chicot disables the most fun part of the game

😔

[cloud sinew]

losing?

[unkempt creek]

the plant

[vale jetty]

What does he do

[unkempt creek]

the ox

[crystal field]

disables boss blinds

[unkempt creek]

the ball torture

[languid pecan]

im cooking.... something?

[crystal field]

all of them

[potent tree]

pivot to bull and bootstraps!!

[cloud sinew]

the most fun part of the game for me is winning runs so

chicot is goated

[vale jetty]

Oh yeah I used him twice today I should know that

[potent tree]

also we need a cash based xmult

[proper flame]

Perkeo also isnt a guaranteed win if youre in immediate need of scoring

[cloud sinew]

if youre in immediate need of scoring then 4/5 arent going to help

[crystal field]

do we?

xmult like bull and bootstraps

hmm

[potent tree]

ATM?

[vale jetty]

Cash based x mult just seems like a sure fire way to naneinf with perkeo and temperance

[crystal field]

gives what for what

[proper flame]

Stock Market

[x0.1 Mult] per $15

[crystal field]

like .2x for every $10?

[unkempt creek]

do i win because i got cryptid

[crystal field]

so with $90 you get 0.6x?

[unkempt creek]

like is this very naneinfable

[languid pecan]

o7 garbage run

you will be missed 8 ball and trading card

[cloud sinew]

ew

tells you how many its gonna give

[potent tree]

8 card trading ball

[proper flame]

maybe change it to 10 dollars idk im not a game dev

[alpine hollow]

random bullshit go ahh build

[languid pecan]

it doesnt

[cloud sinew]

that's the "3" then

[languid pecan]

it only shows you how many it can give

[vale jetty]

I didn’t even realize the time I gotta be up in 4 hours for work, night y’all thank you for answering my bajillion questions ❤️

[languid pecan]

not how many it will

[crystal field]

that makes sense

[cloud sinew]

oh that's also silly

[crystal field]

3 8s

[cloud sinew]

just less problematic

[languid pecan]

i dont "cheat" lol

[crystal field]

hmmm

[potent tree]

is rebate or cloud 9 better for early econ? probably rebate right

[languid pecan]

albeit its a single player game

[cloud sinew]

who brought up cheating

[languid pecan]

me

[crystal field]

rebate u get 1 extra dollar for just 1 discarded card

[proper flame]

both are very good but rebate is probably better

[languid pecan]

thats my line in the sand so i consider it in my own game as cheating

[cloud sinew]

absolutely rebate

[languid pecan]

to each their own tho

[crystal field]

also you get the money before the round ends so interest

[alpine hollow]

when i get it on pc, im going to play on the way older version

[potent tree]

lately i've been trying to deckfix for cloud 9 but it never appears. always rebate instead

[alpine hollow]

back when 8-ball was good

[placid cave]

the balala brainrot is getting to me

[languid pecan]

(still is good)

[potent tree]

can rebate land on a rank that doesn't exist in your deck?

[cloud sinew]

no, but technically yes

[languid pecan]

yall keep underestimating the 8 ball

[crystal field]

deckfixing for that might be unwise

atleast serious deckfixing

[alpine hollow]

not unless it is all stone

[royal bobcat]

If you hang the cards before the round yeah

[languid pecan]

the only thing that was doing anything this run was my level 8 two pair

[cloud sinew]

if you have no rebate targets, it defaults to Ace

[languid pecan]

then the eye cooked me

[unkempt creek]

`

[proper flame]

Little known fact but 8 ball actually has a 1/100 chance to give a tarot card upon scoring an 8. The tarot card will also ALWAYS be The World

[royal bobcat]

Or all stone

[potent tree]

interesting

[unkempt creek]

is this naneinf

or

[cloud sinew]

always being The World is a huge buff wdym

[languid pecan]

ok guys i didnt like gold stake plasma, give me a new deck to play besides plasma or green deck (i hate green deck)

[proper flame]

Not if youre going bloodstone

[royal bobcat]

Guaranteed tarot insane

[crystal field]

its black deck time

[languid pecan]

bloodstone sucks

[languid pecan]

fine fine

[alpine hollow]

today i leanr that groker is actually decent

[cloud sinew]

good thing im probably not running bloodstone

[crystal field]

hehe

[alpine hollow]

especially if its foil

[proper flame]

You should run bloodstone its like gambling but you always lose

[languid pecan]

grimbo? green joker?

[crystal field]

black deck lowkey is better than green deck, i never thought of it this way

[potent tree]

i used to call it groker but now i call it grimbo (also polychrome better)

[alpine hollow]

ye

[languid pecan]

green joker is cracked

[cloud sinew]

are you ragebaiting

[proper flame]

green deck feels so OP if you suck at economy (like me) since I never stockpile money anyways

[crystal field]

what do u think

[alpine hollow]

it saved me in the space challange deck

[languid pecan]

black deck is more fun than green deck imo\

[proper flame]

so for my purposes, green deck is just more money

[cloud sinew]

that was a sincere question can you just answer it directly

[crimson pollen]

Hello everyone! Can anyone tell me how to fix this black UI?

[crystal field]

maybe but both are kinda not fun

[alpine hollow]

green deck + credit card

[languid pecan]

depends on your playstyle

[crystal field]

my playstyle is being terrble at the game

❤️

[proper flame]

Real

[cloud sinew]

report it in #1200105253559873707 and someone might know

[languid pecan]

I like black deck but there are runs that you just cant win by playing optimally

[alpine hollow]

your better than me

[cloud sinew]

...?

source?

[grave magnet]

what should i pick based on the info?

[crimson pollen]

ok tnx

[cloud sinew]

talisman

[potent tree]

i completed black deck before abandoned

[alpine hollow]

sigil

[crystal field]

abandoned deck is pretty fun actually

[potent tree]

i gold staked everything else before white on abandoned

[royal bobcat]

Could someone win every black deck run ever hmm

[languid pecan]

im not saying impossible seed, im saying based on making the most optimal decisions but you lose anyways\

[crystal field]

so much power over the deck

[proper flame]

Talisman on a face card

[cloud sinew]

again, source?

[unkempt creek]

guys

[cloud sinew]

also ik what u mean dw, optimal without foresight

[royal bobcat]

The source is me sometimes I die when I play well

[quartz ember]

I assume meaning optimally, i.e. picking the best option in the moment

[crystal field]

playing responsibly yeah

[unkempt creek]

what do i need to do to naneinf

[crystal field]

sometimes u gotta make a terrible decision and pray

[unkempt creek]

like copy joker wise and cryptid wise

[languid pecan]

well i found a seed and i genuinely dont know how to beat it without having foresight

[cloud sinew]

whats the seed ill beat it

[languid pecan]

kk

hold on

[quartz ember]

there was BU video like 5 days ago on black deck with that kind of setup

[alpine hollow]

the most effecient playstyle, but not being able to see the future. Like a seeded run, excpet youve never seen the seed before

[cloud sinew]

that's what without foresight means yeah /gen

[alpine hollow]

in one attempt?

[cloud sinew]

yes

[crystal field]

riff raff is the black deck goat

[languid pecan]

5V9KYNKM

[cloud sinew]

I'm gonna take my time because I know it's hard which is it's own bias but

it doesn't affect the information I know about the run outside of that

[proper flame]

riff raff is just lowkey fun

Not the worst eco joker early game + you can luck into actual good jokers

[languid pecan]

gl

[alpine hollow]

imagine riff raff but for uncommons

[proper flame]

I love finding a riff raff in shop 1 ghost deck and hexing it

Doesnt scale well

but fun

[cloud sinew]

honour system btw, not gonna bother recording unless requested because i cba and i wouldnt lie for brownie points

[crystal field]

for me getting riff raff on black deck gold stake goes from 0% win potential to 20% instantly

[alpine hollow]

chess battle advanced

[crystal field]

early enough anyway

[rose gust]

How can you tell im a masochist ? (Mains black deck)

[crystal field]

the VIPs

but it should just make 1 uncommon

[proper flame]

riff raffing into photochad

[alpine hollow]

photochad is overhyped

[royal bobcat]

The only honor I care about is the one that helps me get material goods

[crystal field]

riff raffing into superposition and splash >>>

[quartz ember]

ZYS2XNBM is hard also

[alpine hollow]

splash is great though

[cloud sinew]

here goes

[crystal field]

i mean both are but

[languid pecan]

genuinely wish you best of luck

[proper flame]

Sock and Photochad is instant win (sans ) but yeah

its talked about a lot

[languid pecan]

what deck

black deck?

[cloud sinew]

spade flush is the line im gonna go for

[quartz ember]

black gold (ofc :D)

[royal bobcat]

I love sending someone my seed and they get card sharp grimbo acrobat by the end of ante 2 and I want to jump off a buildings roof

[crystal field]

acrobat :/

[cloud sinew]

taking the rental cola after opening the buffoon for better odds of a useful joker

[royal bobcat]

What about the double cola dream 😱

[proper flame]

I have to have had multiple runs that are just Sock+Photo+Chad+Chip joker of some kind (Usually Castle, very good jonkler imo)+xmult joker (Usually the trio or etc)

its hard to resist

[languid pecan]

very optimal never thought about that

[cloud sinew]

im skipping here and im gonna take the juggle tag in the big blind and then sell cola after skipping so i dont get +6 handsize for no reason

[languid pecan]

interesting i didnt try that

[cloud sinew]

average black deck start

[royal bobcat]

Lilo is going on her bu arc

Lmao

6 dollars A2 start

[crystal field]

Im highkey invested

[cloud sinew]

okay i die against the big blind almost definitely so im taking the arcana, though (20/28)x(0.3)x2 for a rental joker to save me if i roll instead...

i think the arcana is the better play

mult for sure, i die otherwise

[royal bobcat]

This seed is crazy work

[opal delta]

I dont think I can outplay this score for a while

[languid pecan]

told you it was a bad one

[cloud sinew]

i wanna put it on my heart A/10

[unkempt creek]

what do i do

[royal bobcat]

I'd go 10 7 of hearts for both flush and straight use

[cloud sinew]

im thinking about base chips

[crystal field]

sell the rebate before u invis

[cloud sinew]

if i survive and somehow get scoring next shop to survive water, i'll skip for coupon

[unkempt creek]

well yeah

[crystal field]

thats all ik

[unkempt creek]

but should i invis soon or wait

[crystal field]

qwq

Hmmm

depends if ur thinking of getting rid of the perkeos

[quartz ember]

why wait

[unkempt creek]

well i have 30 cryptids

idk how many i need

[crystal field]

for naneinf i dont know actually

[languid pecan]

is what

[crystal field]

maybe wait for a good replacement for rebate

[unkempt creek]

wait lemme show deck

[royal bobcat]

What's too greedy

[jagged torrent]

No coppy effects that invisible is pretty useless

[unkempt creek]

yeah

[crystal field]

maybe it can be smart to seek out a bp or dna

[unkempt creek]

ive been rerolling so much

[crystal field]

😔

[cloud sinew]

i'm certain i didnt draw properly this round

[opal delta]

im getting bored again

[cloud sinew]

this was a tough one

[opal delta]

maybe I should play something else

[cloud sinew]

gonna see how many attempts it takes with foresight

[jagged torrent]

Like a wise man one said spend half of what you earn per round -dr spectred

[I think]

[unkempt creek]

ok so i should spend like 70

[crystal field]

good luck on black deck

[vale wharf]

When are they releasing Balatro 2: evolution?

[crystal field]

its time for bed

[languid pecan]

Good luck

[unkempt creek]

burglar or do i not need it because perkeo

[languid pecan]

its an evil seed

the first buffoon pack proves that

[quartz ember]

no burger

[unkempt creek]

ok

[jagged torrent]

No burger for perk

[opal delta]

no burger?

[unkempt creek]

no burger

[cloud sinew]

ill be fiiiine

[jagged torrent]

+4ing my mult to this rn

Why isn't he rental perishable tho? :(

[cloud sinew]

thatd be too easy smh

sheesh okay i died a2 on my 2nd attempt, yeah this is rough

[cloud sinew]

im gonna play the seed that reg said

[languid pecan]

yeah ive been wanting to see if anyone else had better luck

literally no idea how to do it without knowing what cards you draw each round

i wonder if you need to take the eternal rental castle but then your econs dead without taking an econ skip

[cloud sinew]

thats what the cola -> double investment/double coupon is for

[gentle lintel]

Holy shit.
I'm sure this isn't very impressive to most of you, but I just beat Jokerless and I'm stoked

[regal gale]

cross progression, it it a thing or will it be soon?

[cloud sinew]

it will be

[languid pecan]

yeah the problem is you need to live lol

[regal gale]

any idea when?

[languid pecan]

i did it before by knowing what cards i drew but

thats no fun

[cloud sinew]

no

[languid pecan]

anyways never noticed before but are retroactive scaling jokers still able to be perishable? never realized that

[cloud sinew]

yes, most non-retroactive scalers are immune

exclusions being campfire and HTR

[unkempt creek]

ive rolled like probably 2k

and havent gotten one copy joker

this is just not nice

i think i need to rip the invis soon or i lose

[languid pecan]

is supernova immune i forget

[cloud sinew]

that's a retroactive scaler

[languid pecan]

yeah

was hoping it was immune anyways :/

[cloud sinew]

cause fuck the rule right /j

[languid pecan]

lol

[cloud sinew]

i lived a1 😎

[unkempt creek]

i can only score e16 with all red seal steel

do i rip invis or just use cryptid

[cloud sinew]

if youre willing to savescum, then rip invis

otherwise, sell bootstraps

[unkempt creek]

like if i use 1 cryptid i think id be fine

well imm sell bootstraps anyway

[cloud sinew]

:3

[unkempt creek]

also how do i actually savescum

like i can do it sometimes

others it doesnt work

[cloud sinew]

Main Menu

[unkempt creek]

does my gamespeed affect it at all

or no

[cloud sinew]

no

you do need to like

[mortal nimbus]

the game only saves your game state after certain actions

[cloud sinew]

some are QTEs

like exiting a pack or selecting blind or whatever

[unkempt creek]

so when i sell invis the game does not save

[cloud sinew]

it doesnt, no

[unkempt creek]

i see

ok

imma just rip it rq then and see

it hit perkeo

[cloud sinew]

huge

also taking uranus here for satellite

[quartz ember]

nice, then you are prolly winning

[unkempt creek]

im assuming i dont want it to hit perkeo

[cloud sinew]

jesus fucking christ

[languid pecan]

I think you won

Ish

[unkempt creek]

riff raff goat

wait so if i rip invis onto perkeo and use a cryptid should i be fine

or should i save invis

[dark cairn]

if i have a wild card in my hand will blackboard still activate?

[unkempt creek]

this is by far the closest ive been to naneinf

[unkempt creek]

yes

[dark cairn]

k

[mortal nimbus]

wild cards have a black suit, so yes

[cloud sinew]

yes

the only time that wilds are treated different for BB is if theyre debuffed, then theyre just their base suit

[mortal nimbus]

having a red suit is not the defining factor, just if the card has a black suit

[unkempt creek]

so invis perkeo or save invis

i need help por favor

[cloud sinew]

😭

[royal bobcat]

another reason why it's the worst +mult scaler in the game, yes even worse than bootstraps it might not be factual but in my heart it is

[mortal nimbus]

damn, if only you had 1 more slot

[unkempt creek]

swashbuckler bouta carry

[cloud sinew]

the sob emoji is because this run is insane after the first ante, not that i cant take it

im not that stupid

[unkempt creek]

ok

do i rip ecto

or no

its in a pack

i think not right

cuz then i might like actually lose

[royal bobcat]

i was going to send a gif but i remember i'd get flagged by the automod :(

[cloud sinew]

you can savescum this it's just a QTE

[royal bobcat]

quicktime event lmao

[cloud sinew]

if you pause before the animation to leave the pack finishes

[jagged torrent]

Handsize?

[unkempt creek]

whats a bad hit for it

i have no vouchers

[jagged torrent]

Also this^^

[unkempt creek]

for handsize

[jagged torrent]

Perk

And invis

[cloud sinew]

what the fuck

[unkempt creek]

and rebate right

[jagged torrent]

Canio

[cloud sinew]

omg u were right

[languid pecan]

holy

anything besides trib

[jagged torrent]

Usually it wouldn't be, but since you have no coppy effects rebait isn't as good :/

[languid pecan]

maybe canio if you never find a hanged man'

[unkempt creek]

i savescummed it hit perkeo

[cloud sinew]

with this much econ...

[unkempt creek]

uh

it crashed my game

[cloud sinew]

what did

[unkempt creek]

idk

im restarting my game

ok im good

[jagged torrent]

I just noticed your pfp. What kinda coc are you playing twin 😭 💔

[unkempt creek]

rog hider

[royal bobcat]

perishable campfire

[jagged torrent]

Does it jump under the walls? 😭

[languid pecan]

no

[unkempt creek]

yes

[cloud sinew]

fuck i took a grim and i didnt win the 1/4 to hit a face card

[languid pecan]

the only reason to not like supernova is eye and ox imo

[dark cairn]

got runner the order and superposition on my red deck purple stake run

[languid pecan]

it didnt hit an ace did it

[dark cairn]

needless to say that was an awesome run

[jagged torrent]

Istg glass cards be made outta steal when I'm playing a canio build 💔

[cloud sinew]

it did

[languid pecan]

o7 ace

[unkempt creek]

bro

i cant get a copier for the life of me

[cloud sinew]

theres no fucking way

theres no fucking way youre gonna make me do this rn

[royal bobcat]

no, it's also terrible for obelisk, the best joker in the game, forces you to only play a single hand type, it's lame and can get perishable

[cloud sinew]

the only way i win here is if i sell canio

[jagged torrent]

Brain storm is the secret 5th legendary 😭

[cloud sinew]

what the fuck

[unkempt creek]

i fucking guess

[languid pecan]

was gonna suggest selling rebate but then i realized that 50% of your chips

[cloud sinew]

i dont even win so nvm

i got greedy because the run was steamrolling everything

so thats my bad

[jagged torrent]

Average gold back run:

[languid pecan]

me

[cloud sinew]

foil rebate, canio and brainstorm
yeah

[languid pecan]

it turns out losing 25% of your potential scoring, a possible 1 dollar per round, and probably something else im not thinking about hurts a lot

[unkempt creek]

oh

my

god

i got a brainstorm

i sell a perkeo right

[tawny grove]

man

[jagged torrent]

Yep yep

[cloud sinew]

its kinda just like

-$1 almost always

unless you'd spend that hand for digging or scaling

[unkempt creek]

ok

so

[jagged torrent]

Sell boots and invisible after wards and if the ivis doesn't hit save scum

[unkempt creek]

do i sell something for dna?

[languid pecan]

i dont think so

[jagged torrent]

Nope

[unkempt creek]

alr

[languid pecan]

perkeo is basically dna

[cloud sinew]

well

[unkempt creek]

so i should pop invis

[languid pecan]

but not 100%

[cloud sinew]

dropping rebate at this point would mean

you dont need to use as many cryptids per round

[unkempt creek]

true

[cloud sinew]

since you have the naneinf engine sorted already

its just about cryptid usage

[unkempt creek]

so rebate?

[cloud sinew]

yeah

[languid pecan]

how do they get the $$$ tho

[unkempt creek]

so i sell rebate then pop invis

?

[cloud sinew]

you dont need $$$ at this point

[languid pecan]

fair

[jagged torrent]

They are on plasma with cryptids, money is pretty useless now

[languid pecan]

i thought they needed way more copy effects

[cloud sinew]

potentially but

[unkempt creek]

^

[cloud sinew]

yes

[unkempt creek]

ok thank you

[languid pecan]

yeahhh true

[jagged torrent]

Yes

[unkempt creek]

it hit brainstorm

[jagged torrent]

Yipeee

[languid pecan]

best hit by far

[jagged torrent]

Bust hit

[unkempt creek]

i only copy baron righ

t

cuz all red seal

[languid pecan]

probably theres math but it usually is copy baron

[cloud sinew]

bye luch

actually wait

no yeah i should sell it

cause even if i win early

[unkempt creek]

baron 2 brainstorm and mime

[cloud sinew]

its $ from hands

[jagged torrent]

Sell lunch a door for interest real true

[royal bobcat]

most wealthy luchador

[languid pecan]

you playing steel or gold

[unkempt creek]

steel

[jagged torrent]

Full steal

Or theyd be dead by now TwT

[languid pecan]

1 steel 1 baron 1 baron 1 baron = 4 baron, 1 red seal 1 mime 1 base trigger = 3 retrigger, i think i counted right

[unkempt creek]

also how many cryptids will i need

[languid pecan]

so yes copy baron

[jagged torrent]

Are you going for nan, or ante 38?

[unkempt creek]

nan

[jagged torrent]

Oh you have more than enough for nan

[unkempt creek]

oh

ok

so i just use all of em

and send it

[jagged torrent]

Quick question

[unkempt creek]

?

[jagged torrent]

What's your high level?

High card

[unkempt creek]

only 23

should i get that higher first

[languid pecan]

doesnt high card level only give 2-4 es

[jagged torrent]

Hmm well this, but I only have the card requirements memorised for lv 50

To they might need a few more cryptids?

[unkempt creek]

how many cryptids for lvl 50

[languid pecan]

level 10 is a x10 which is 1 e (2 on plasma) and level 100 is a x100 which is like 2 e's and 4 on plasma

[jagged torrent]

44 on plasma

[languid pecan]

something like that

[unkempt creek]

i have 59

i mean i have no trouble waiting just in case

[hollow temple]

Should I get brug?

[languid pecan]

itd just be a x2 at most and you have way more than a x2

i think

[languid pecan]

mmm burger

[unkempt creek]

well

i just got ecto from pack

[jagged torrent]

No you need bbc

[signal frigate]

Burg could be interesting

[unkempt creek]

so i could rip it and maybe get blueprint lol

[jagged torrent]

Tou don't have enough money

[signal frigate]

Burglar is the safe path

[languid pecan]

dont you have 0 money

[jagged torrent]

Waste of a handsize

[unkempt creek]

no i have 33 money

[signal frigate]

And gives early money

[hollow temple]

The illusion of free will

[quartz ember]

noooo, you were close to greatness

[acoustic kettle]

The burger burgs

[signal frigate]

Up to you, you can run an uncommon only run

[languid pecan]

8 ball

[signal frigate]

But I'd pick Burglar cuz it's a good joker

[jagged torrent]

Believe in the bbc

[languid pecan]

baseball card is a good find early game but not really earliest game

yknow

[signal frigate]

Still a solid scoring joker

It scores on its own

[languid pecan]

wdym

[jagged torrent]

Probably this ^

[languid pecan]

one of the few times bootstraps does something useful

[hollow temple]

Why do I keep getting rare cards?

[jagged torrent]

Honestly rip the cryptids, you should have enough

[unkempt creek]

ok next round

im gonna have 69

so

lol

[jagged torrent]

All that money is from gold cards 😭
It did nothing tbh

[unkempt creek]

me when chicot

[languid pecan]

good cant dilute the shop with non blueprints

[unkempt creek]

should i just sell perkeo and rip soul

cuz i think i nan either way

[languid pecan]

is it not all your base mult

[jagged torrent]

Sell the perkeo for the negative perkeo /j

[unkempt creek]

yes

it hit tirb

[hollow temple]

Do I need Barron?

[jagged torrent]

Holy one more x2 mult basically a photograph

[languid pecan]

congrats you got a 4x

[jagged torrent]

We got this

[unkempt creek]

im bouta rip all the cryptids now

[signal frigate]

You're in white stake, do you wanna get a big high score?

[unkempt creek]

whos ready

[jagged torrent]

Trib carry

[unkempt creek]

fr

[signal frigate]

We hitting the Naneinf today

[unkempt creek]

yessir

[hollow temple]

Probably

[jagged torrent]

We dieing next ante with this one boys!

[signal frigate]

Then focus on that Baron and get Mime

Steel kings, even better if they have a red seal

And level up High Card as much and as early as you can

[jagged torrent]

And flushes so you don't die

Brandon is one of the worst early jonklers

[signal frigate]

Early game, it's gonna be Hell setting him up yeah

Grab emergency glass cards in case of a Plant accident

[tawny grove]

is it worth it

[signal frigate]

I'd say so

Probably a good switch from that little genie

Or Trading card if your deck is good enough

[tawny grove]

aightt

[unkempt creek]

chat i did it

[hollow temple]

Do I get abstract.

[quartz ember]

yes

[signal frigate]

Which one do you think is worth more?

[unkempt creek]

guys i havent lost yet

somehow

[glacial iron]

scaling for pairs, lets freaking go

[sweet raven]

dude, judgement cards can be SO clutch when hunting for gold stickers (i got a win with Ramen)

[signal frigate]

This wants a burgler

[signal frigate]

I really like your pfp

[glacial iron]

ugh that

'd be awesome

[signal frigate]

That's your replacement for that stinky pair common next to Grimbo

[sweet raven]

thank you! friend of mine drew it

[signal frigate]

It's adorable

[jagged torrent]

Did ya get the nan?

[unkempt creek]

indeed

now im going to sleep

its 2

[jagged torrent]

Gn

[glacial iron]

mmm i'm on ante 8 i'll see if i can get it before The Big Scary Blind

[unkempt creek]

wait

oh nvm

the nvidia video is 150mb

i was gonna send the clip

well gn

[hollow temple]

Absolutely abysmal uncommon tags

[signal frigate]

Why are you skipping?

[rare oxide]

winner

also my first e pls congrat me

[still siren]

Any good tips in spending money for first two ante?

[rare oxide]

buy like only one thing in each shop i guess? idk
skip for boss money tag

[opal delta]

uhh I dont know how to explain this

at the first shop I usually buy only one thing, then the second shop I dont buy anything unless the voucher is good

then in the second ante its just about managing interest

[rare oxide]

i always spend all my money in the first shop then get a joker i want in the second shop

[graceful quartz]

Thought you needed showman for dupe?

[rare oxide]

for carde

[lavish gazelle]

That's a raised fist

[rare oxide]

cards

[lavish gazelle]

Look closer

[rare oxide]

sell mail in for cavendish btw

[haughty widget]

can you move blueprint during your turn to change it to an end-of-turn effect?

[heavy hare]

i don't believe so

[tawny grove]

what do i do here

[vale wharf]

Joker idea - Stolen ID
Rarity - Uncommon
Cost - $4
This joker copies the effect of joker to the left after 1 round and then perishes at the end of the round

[jagged torrent]

Surely

[latent egret]

trading card gotta go

[lament crater]

photochad strikes again

if only i took that oops before i got the bloodstone

[eternal minnow]

Anyone here listen to owl city

[heavy hare]

anyone here listen to dazey and the scouts 😼

[eternal minnow]

:( i asked first

[lament crater]

no way my 3 glass cards shatter all at the same time

fuck me

sideways

[eternal minnow]

Thats a joker unlock at least

[lament crater]

doesnt do anything when i have all 150

[eternal minnow]

Okay

[tacit stream]

luigi

[royal bobcat]

lets get this grimbshow on the road, shall we?

[opal delta]

im confused on what you need cryptid for here

[jagged torrent]

Nan

[opal delta]

at this point of the game?

[jagged torrent]

I have 2 coppy effects

I could prolly get it

[opal delta]

go for it

I believe in you

[lunar zealot]

uuhhhhhhh

First of all buy that rebate

Second of all it really depends bc i would prefer cryptid here but observatory gives you scoring until you get baron/mime

[eager lynx]

which pack first?

[latent egret]

don't actually matter, you'll get to see almost the same cards

[signal frigate]

No but I listen to Joji

[signal frigate]

Same answer

[signal frigate]

You can buy both

[royal bobcat]

do i use square first shop

idk

its square

its prettyyyy baaad

[opal delta]

hi kami

[eager lynx]

u could try scrumming it but its a bit cheeky

[jagged torrent]

Honestly it's pretty useless for what I'm trying to do currently

[lavish gazelle]

Going for Nan with no baron or mime in play is interesting

[lunar zealot]

Girl make steels

[jagged torrent]

I'm trying 😭

[opal delta]

im sorry for not being helpful…

[jagged torrent]

I'll get them later money is more important rn TwT

[lavish gazelle]

Yuri is carrying you rn

[lunar zealot]

you using cippid or obbatory

[opal delta]

:(

[lunar zealot]

Oh my god it's both

Why are you duping both

[opal delta]

I feel discouraged now

[jagged torrent]

I'm waiting for a mime or something to pivot 😔

[opal delta]

also what is that pfp is that a cat

[lavish gazelle]

That's a loaf

[vale wharf]

Which joker is this? I'm missing only this one, the four suits of 30x each and the yellow legendary

[opal delta]

thats seance maybe?

[lavish gazelle]

You are now car

[jagged valve]

Could've sworn Yorick was orange

[vale wharf]

What does it do?

[opal delta]

it makes a spectral card when you play a straight flush

ughhhh im so unhelpful

[jagged valve]

Seánce or Sixth Sense guys?

Overall

Which wins

[eager lynx]

chat i think hologram goes

[opal delta]

[eager lynx]

am i wrong

[jagged valve]

Never used Cloud9 ever

But I think so yeah?

[eager lynx]

i love it. i have polychrome wild 9s

[lavish gazelle]

The rare cloud 9 strat

[eager lynx]

and yes i passed the head already

we're ok there

[jagged valve]

Is ancient joker only hitting hearts?

Do u have other suits still

[eager lynx]

no he swaps constantly

[opal delta]

ancient joker can switch to any suit regardless of what suits are in the deck

[eager lynx]

yep but im going for wilds

[jagged valve]

Really?

[opal delta]

yeah

[jagged valve]

I thought it was like the Idol

[eager lynx]

ok so hologram goes right?

i think so

[opal delta]

I would keep hologram around

[lavish gazelle]

AJ probably goes

[eager lynx]

aj? whaa

[jagged valve]

Yeah if it swaps then

It's not as reliable

[lavish gazelle]

3/4 of the time AJ is completely useless

[jagged valve]

It's almost 3 card AJ hit constantly on Holo

Just get more enhanced

[eager lynx]

aj has been useful every round so far

[obsidian patrol]

Whats your deck

If you got wild cards then its holo

[eager lynx]

yes i have wilds

wild polychrome 9s

[opal delta]

still more like one in a hundred cards, I think ancient joker might be the one to sell for oa6

[lavish gazelle]

No full hand retriggers either

[royal bobcat]

i(m going to hate this run i can feel it

[eager lynx]

well holo has already went but now im staring at a photo

[opal delta]

oh okay then

[eager lynx]

is the photo good here is what im considering

what do you guys think?

[opal delta]

I dunno, sell cloud 9 for it maybe??

[eager lynx]

not the worst idea but then what econ do i have

i dont exactly have a lot of lucky cards yet

[obsidian patrol]

Thats bait

[lavish gazelle]

I think I have to agree

[opal delta]

why did you sell ancient joker anyway

[eager lynx]

1.5^5 is 7.59

i didnt??

the holo went

[opal delta]

oh I cant read

why did you sell hologram

[eager lynx]

but 2x2x2 from the photo is 8

[lavish gazelle]

For the oops

But your deck isn't hearts

[eager lynx]

math tells me photo is better than aj maybe im wrong

1.5^5 vs 2^3

[obsidian patrol]

1.5 to the power of 7

[eager lynx]

ah..

right

ok so photo is bai..

bait..

i move on

[opal delta]

the only problem with ancient joker is that you have 5 wild cards out of around 60 when you need to be focusing on hearts

[eager lynx]

ill get more

[frail oriole]

Hello! I just picked up Balatro. When it comes to Joker order, is it most optimal to put the order like +chips → +mult → Xmult?

[obsidian patrol]

Chips dont matter where they are put

Just + mult before x mult

[eager lynx]

but getting more is impossible without my cloud

[frail oriole]

And the Xmult doesn't matter where its put right? 1,5X mult + 3X mult always comes out to 4,5X mult in either case

[obsidian patrol]

correct

[frail oriole]

Cool, thanks! 🙂

[lavish gazelle]

Unless it's like flat mult polychrome

[obsidian patrol]

Its just plain math ya know

[lavish gazelle]

Then it goes first

[opal delta]

mario in 13 minutes

[frail oriole]

Concerning hands, can The Trio and The Tribe both activate if my hand contains for example 5 Queen of Hearts?

[lavish gazelle]

Yes

[frail oriole]

That's pretty nifty.

[opal delta]

[dire crater]

Obelisk worst rare

[slender rampart]

It is done

100% the game

[lunar zealot]

yo mama a rare

[latent egret]

i just need one temperance and run is done

[slender rampart]

Get cloud 9 for 4th joker

Complete the meme

[civic moth]

Neg skips when you're doing a steak you've already done:

[opal delta]

[civic moth]

And yes the Showman did something

[slender rampart]

Thats spicy

[tranquil cedar]

steak

[latent egret]

i gotta stop playing in auto pilot when im not on gold stake

[hazy parcel]

W run chat? (Got to like ante 15)

[proper turtle]

showman for smiley, how much would the holo have effect on the score?

[latent egret]

depends on the planet level of your hand

[hazy parcel]

I am the devil on your shoulder and i say you should just play high card

[proper turtle]

just a lvl 3 flush 🙁

[latent egret]

but if its more than 20 then its just better

[latent egret]

if you're beatin antes by a lot its still worth

in the chance you find another bbc for exampl

[proper turtle]

baseball does amplify the score with the smiley being the only common joker

taking the risk

[shell dagger]

5 sticker run, although this was boring 🙁

[proper turtle]

ok yeah, mime does his thing I'm fine with the score

[floral mural]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[slender rampart]

[minor gust]

Wtf

How did this happen

Seltzer was the last one I needed

It registered than unregistered?

[proper turtle]

well ggs, it was a good call having showman, baseball got full reign

[dire crater]

🥩

[proper turtle]

caertificate and hologram with a flush run is op

you do end up with a very weird deck

[dire crater]

weird deck

I like that name

[proper turtle]

hologram is 6.5

[dire crater]

Tough challenge: every blind is a boss blind

[jagged valve]

Is there no place to check achievements

On mobile

[minor gust]

Game centre

[graceful oasis]

now that im in c++ the vibe of the game changes so much. I know I score 250k per hand rn so im actively avoiding picking up better jokers which is a cool change of pace

like 33/60 of my cards are face cards and im like NAH poly smily face is too much for this build i can get by just fine

[cosmic sun]

marble is lowkey free there

win more ahhh situation

[graceful oasis]

u were kind of real as hell there but i was blinded by the smily

i genuinely hate faceless ive never triggered it once

but i just got raised fist negative so i have room to get another shitty joker

[pale wolf]

balatrodle in 3

[graceful oasis]

what do yall think is harder to make work in gold ceremonial or half joker

surely ceremonial right

[pale wolf]

theyre very different jokers

[graceful oasis]

yeah i win this run either way just deciding which one i want the gold sticker on

[pale wolf]

do you mean which one is priority for stickering

[graceful oasis]

ye

[pale wolf]

uncommons over commons unless it's a food common

[rancid niche]

Mmmm food common

[graceful oasis]

good point

had to sell ceremonial to get past verdant and hoped my "create a rare joker" card would give me obelisk but alas ill take 4 new gold stickers in 1 run

[orchid comet]

exchange jolly for temporary boot?

only aiming for ante 8, next is big blind, pair build

[haughty widget]

you can strategically sort by suit/rank for the photograph joker right?

[graceful oasis]

you dont need econ anymore you have 100 dollars

[orchid comet]

yes

[graceful oasis]

if you watch your spending you have plenty of money, get rid of space station

[orchid comet]

I WANT econ

[graceful oasis]

what are you scoring per hand rn

[orchid comet]

it's at 8...

[orchid comet]

25k I think

[graceful oasis]

then get rid of the constellation joker and get boot

[orchid comet]

I don't have constellation

[graceful oasis]

fuck i forgot the name of it

the free planets one

[orchid comet]

astronomer

[graceful oasis]

ye

[orchid comet]

but it's free planets 💔

boot works well with econ tho doesn't it

[graceful oasis]

you dont need anymore planets if ss is at 8

[haughty widget]

is your pfp yassified chris hansen

[orchid comet]

so might be better to actually get rid of astro

[graceful oasis]

yes @haughty widget

[latent egret]

the type of run you'll never have on gold stake

[haughty widget]

mf be like "take a seat papi"

anyways

[graceful oasis]

@orchid comet get rid of astronomer, keep satelite, buy boot

the 8 per hand from that plus ropund rewards will level boot up twice per round

[latent egret]

got 7 blue seals too lmao

[graceful oasis]

ez win trust

[orchid comet]

found a blackhole earlier, sad that it doesn't count for satellite

[quartz ember]

I had the same path 👍

[graceful oasis]

yeah your pairs and two pairs will get win on red np

boot will make shit free as hell

[orchid comet]

it's orange stake

[graceful oasis]

potato tomato

being ableist against the colorblind

[orchid comet]

lmao

[graceful oasis]

all the more reason to dump your weird utility jokers imo

[orchid comet]

real

[manic talon]

this could happen on gold stake checkered ngl

[graceful oasis]

honestly depending on how much edge boot gives you you might be able to skip to ante 8 boss if youre a sneaky little fella @orchid comet youll have to see what your hand scoring is after picking it up idk

i didnt realize you were on orange tbh

[orchid comet]

49k or smtg

on queen pair

[graceful oasis]

show ur deck

[orchid comet]

no changes except a couple kings added

[graceful oasis]

but no empresses or anything like that

[orchid comet]

nope

[graceful oasis]

its all stock otherwise

[orchid comet]

gold cards

a few

[graceful oasis]

oh ok dont skip then lol

[orchid comet]

alright

[graceful oasis]

final boss on orange is like 400k i think ?

[orchid comet]

do I grab aj

[orchid comet]

maybe

[quartz ember]

yes

[orchid comet]

rn it's 220k ante 7

[orchid comet]

I do grab aj?
