[balmy ridge]

f

isss supernova classes as scaling?

should be right?

im doing balatrodle

[latent egret]

no

no number that changes in card description

[balmy ridge]

but it scales with hands played

oh i see

[lyric shore]

it doesnt

[balmy ridge]

thats stupid i thin

maybe im stupid

cries

dagger?

[latent egret]

it’s in the description of the different categories, just not very intuitive

[balmy ridge]

dagger displays the current mult in its text

[latent egret]

yes it is

[balmy ridge]

it was not dagger

[ember turtle]

the white deck....

[vocal cedar]

just lost a good green card run because i got the needle as a boss blind and didn't understand the description (I thought it meant only one TYPE of hand not just one hand 😭)

[latent egret]

you should hide that

[lyric shore]

whyd you go dagger after your first guess lol

[balmy ridge]

oh fuck

i meant to

[fading cobalt]

[balmy ridge]

u guys saw nothing

schizos

[fading cobalt]

It should be

[pale wolf]

interesting

[vocal cedar]

what is balatrodle

[latent egret]

i went constellation - supernova - runner

[fading cobalt]

Wordle but balatro

[balmy ridge]

wat im sayin

[lyric shore]

u still didnt hide it

[pale wolf]

Not according to what it says on the rules

[vocal cedar]

ohhh

[balmy ridge]

holy crap what a pack

[fading cobalt]

Thats stupid as fuck

[lyric shore]

oh nbm

[balmy ridge]

BALATRODLE SPOILERS 3

there

hidden i think

[pale wolf]

no, It's consistent

[balmy ridge]

pretty sure i did last time but ok andrew

no e

andrw

[fading cobalt]

No, its stupid

[balmy ridge]

where ur e

[lyric shore]

yea u did mb

[tired kestrel]

Devious grimbo backstabs a run once again

[pale wolf]

in 3 as well this morning

[lyric shore]

if you guess xmult it will be yellow if its +mult

[latent egret]

it’s not intuitive but supernova and like spaceman are the only ones that don’t work

[balmy ridge]

i guessed rnner too

[pale wolf]

nova and hiker are the ones that trick you

[balmy ridge]

meets all the criteria but doesnt count annoynig as frick

grrr

[balmy ridge]

its my second day of doing balatrodle i didnt know that

[pale wolf]

I mean then you get the name hint

[lyric shore]

more you know

[vocal cedar]

sad, innit

[balmy ridge]

i play balatro i can't read

[pale wolf]

and then things like misprint or perkeo dont have RNG tag even with random elements

[fading cobalt]

I think its annoying that the rules say its scaling but i personally think it shouldn't count

[pale wolf]

it must be an objective definition

[lyric shore]

yea the rules make it obvious that it counts

[fading cobalt]

I know but I'm saying it shouldn't

[lyric shore]

i agree but at least its fair

[pale wolf]

lol
||"a non-uncommon, non-mult joker less than $7? hmmmm
dagger."||
technically balatrodle spoilery woops

[narrow wadi]

how do i win without splash?

[pale wolf]

You can even sell it

[wintry ice]

balatrodle ||why the fuck does this count as scaling????||

[pale wolf]

cmon

[wintry ice]

increases or decreases

what

[narrow wadi]

campfire on x6, holo on x5.75, i think i need to keep the splash and hope it can carry once it's not disabled

[unreal iron]

still scaling

[pale wolf]

if the value on the Joker changes then it scales, whether positively or negatively or both doesn't matter

[heavy heron]

||but isn’t dagger mult||

[pale wolf]

are you joking

[narrow wadi]

yes lol

[pale wolf]

You could always sell supernova

[narrow wadi]

it was my campfire sell slot for ante 8, cos i had seed money so didn't need my golden joker

[narrow wadi]

i think if i did this i might've actually lost lol

[heavy heron]

||that’s funny because by that definition popcorn is scaling||

[pale wolf]

Coward /s

[proper turtle]

when you are rewarded for doing what you always do

[narrow wadi]

i already beat it but i had 51 mult on two pairs from supernova, my 2 pair was level 14. i scored 900k with supernova and both xmult jokers active

[heavy heron]

holy negative baseball card

[narrow wadi]

i think it is possible that selling nova wouldn't lose

i don't think it was likely

[heavy heron]

negative 5x joker

crazy

[pale wolf]

honestly don't care about the streak this is just funny

[narrow wadi]

rip no plasma

[proper turtle]

cerulean blue would have me dead if not for mr bones

[lunar zealot]

yknow what would be so fucking funny

ante 2 psychic

[buoyant ridge]

ez

[lunar zealot]

Triboulet

[pale wolf]

I think that would be pretty funny

[lunar zealot]

praying for your downfall rn

[pale wolf]

chiclets

[lunar zealot]

FUCK

unironically you could keep swash here

[pale wolf]

oh you want to know something that's really funny

🙂

[lunar zealot]

you no longer need to worry about vv

[manic talon]

2 legendaries in one run HOLY

[lunar zealot]

i only see one

[fading cobalt]

Jimbo and swash 🗣️🔥

[lunar zealot]

and it's eternal

[fading cobalt]

Jimbo

[pale wolf]

My first Joker

ever

[lunar zealot]

You know what fucking sucks

Like genuinely

the tutorial seed apparently isn't hardcoded

to give jimbo ante 1

[hoary jay]

natural ante 3 perkeo 🥹

[slim sonnet]

HOLY

[fading cobalt]

How are you meant to get a unnatural perkeo

[pale wolf]

How can you avoid it?

playing five cards would have even been optimal but I just needed to stick it to the psychic

[hoary jay]

there's these things called seeds

you can find them in the seeds channel

or the seeds thread

[lunar zealot]

I just

assumed

man

[pale wolf]

no I mean like, when you're actually in the tutorial I don't think it allows you to do anything different for the first ante

[fading cobalt]

Saying a seeded run gives unnatural legendary should only apply to bugged seeds like ALEEB

[lunar zealot]

Nono

Go into balatro right now

hop into tutorial seed

First shop i believe gives red card empress

and not jimbo empress

[pale wolf]

I'm pretty sure that's not even bugged

It's just a good seed

[fading cobalt]

Nah theres no way

[hoary jay]

i say natural because it isn't seeded

[fading cobalt]

5 legendaries by ante 2 and its not bugged

[pale wolf]

it was found through data mining but it's a legitimate seed

[fading cobalt]

Alright then

[pale wolf]

well, A legitimately functioning seed, you can't actually roll it in normal gameplay because it's not long enough of a string

[pale wolf]

no I know, but just playing the tutorial seed is different from how Jimbo forces you to take certain items and stuff, but I see what you mean

[lunar zealot]

BUT LIKE COME ON

AT LEAST MAKE JIMBO HARDCODED IN

And i dont mean the cutscenes i mean the literal jimbo joker

[lyric shore]

whys it matter whos replaying tutorial seed

[pale wolf]

Am I missing something, I thought the seed was tutorial

[fading cobalt]

What site is that

[floral mural]

tutorial seed is probably like joker tags where it replaces the first joker with jimbo maybe?

[pale wolf]

the soul

https://spectralpack.github.io/TheSoul/

[orchid comet]

do I grab wee ante 5

[hasty harness]

do u have chips already

[orchid comet]

square joker yes

[hasty harness]

then probably not

[tepid skiff]

I would only take it if you have hack or chad

[orchid comet]

I do not

[hasty harness]

then dont id say

[graceful oasis]

I wonder if seeded runs still get stickers on the jokers surely not right

[lyric shore]

nope

[graceful oasis]

I’m waiting for my trailer to get loaded @pale wolf if you wanna argue about what retroactive means some more

[violet bear]

They do not

Otherwise c++ would be trivial

[balmy ridge]

no

[graceful oasis]

C++ IS trivial 🙂

[cinder yew]

Any advice on golden needle challenge ?

[graceful oasis]

Speak softly and carry a big stick

[violet bear]

Trivial as in, done in a stupidly low amount of runs where you know everything that’s gonna happen in advance

[lyric shore]

6 discards so play 4oak or straight

[balmy ridge]

then why haven't you done it?

[hasty harness]

do yall think i should sell out of burglar if i get it b4 ante 32 if i find an ecto

[lyric shore]

yeah

[balmy ridge]

chances of finding ecto + burglar on plasma deck are pretty low

dont really understand the question

[hasty harness]

i have the handsize to survive

• omen globe

[balmy ridge]

ok

[lunar zealot]

Why are you playing the blinds

[hasty harness]

i have the handsize to survive

[lunar zealot]

fullskip to serpent every ante so you dont die

[hasty harness]

so why not farm money

[hasty harness]

i have the handszie

i did the bean bug lol

[lunar zealot]

nuh uh

[obsidian patrol]

they got 27 hand size

[lunar zealot]

i cant read

[obsidian patrol]

Im a balatro player

[hasty harness]

i plan to bean bug on ante 32 again

do i take chat

i mean

imma need to sell out of a copy joker if it hits one anyway

when i get bean

[balmy ridge]

bean bean bean

fein fein fein

[hasty harness]

i think imma pass it for now ngl

ill just start serpent farming

when i cant survive blinds anymore

and then try to bean bug on ante 32 again

[wintry ice]

you could replace dna

[hasty harness]

ill need dna for ante 32 tho

or wait

[lyric shore]

you will?

[hasty harness]

ur not wrong actually

[wintry ice]

wouldn't bean be enough

[hasty harness]

if im gonna be bean bugging

i wouldnt really need dna

[wintry ice]

you could also use a bunch of ectos with this kind of hand size

[hasty harness]

with the caveat i find the ectos

lol

i already got one really early in the run tho which is nice

[fading cobalt]

I just played a 4oak of 7 clubs but didn't unlock seeing double

[pale wolf]

i asked nicely for xmult and received

[hasty harness]

yeah now that i think about it tho ill still probably skip the invis

because ill sell out of it anyway

for bean

if i DO hit

a copy joker

anytway

[fervent umbra]

the rng gods have blessed my black stake run today

[lyric shore]

if it hits a copy its more money for a bit

[hasty harness]

true

[fervent umbra]

3 nat negatives btw

[hasty harness]

but it also means i might not survivve the blinds for now

which means starting to serpent farm sooner

[violet bear]

This screenshot on checkered would be quite funny

[balmy ridge]

dont mind me just loading up balatro

[haughty widget]

wha

[hasty harness]

why isnt perkeo mogging

[balmy ridge]

he is

[haughty widget]

oh its a youtube thumbnail

[balmy ridge]

do you not see his chin

[haughty widget]

for google translate

[pale wolf]

cruel cruel game
im not selling chicot for oops

[balmy ridge]

yeah the hanging child is

the background is just a screenshot from a run

[haughty widget]

i thought you earnestly came up with "hanging chad - hanging child" yourself and decided to edit that

[balmy ridge]

no

search bean balatro on youtube

my goat

[haughty widget]

which would've been genius

[unreal iron]

well thats interesting

thank you balatro

[hasty harness]

extra hand is nice tho :p

[balmy ridge]

didnt 1shot small blind heh what a chud /j

[unreal iron]

rough gem on checkered deck too

i mean

[fervent umbra]

welp, im dead.

[unreal iron]

😔

[balmy ridge]

to be fair

that sucks buns

rough gem is prety good i think

maybe

slightly above average

[unreal iron]

it is really good

[balmy ridge]

the illustrious chad

[unreal iron]

and now im stuck in a predicament

[balmy ridge]

fool is empty?

[unreal iron]

is to do list worth it for the juicy sticker

[unreal iron]

yesss

[balmy ridge]

i think so

to do list isn't thaaat bad

and if you need it stickered then definetely

[unreal iron]

its still econ technically

[pale wolf]

when The Moon is a better choice than $14 temperance or another pair level

[fervent umbra]

not bad at all.

[balmy ridge]

early econ always good i think u take it

[graceful oasis]

same reason I don’t pick up Pennies in the street

ain’t nothin but a step to a steppa

[unreal iron]

its at 3oak

so its not

great

[balmy ridge]

chills bro.... full body chills

[balmy ridge]

should be able to get at least one perchance

[graceful oasis]

Hundo p

[fading cobalt]

Fuck you flint

[unreal iron]

meh

[balmy ridge]

flint lockwood from the hit cartoon movie" Cloudy with a chance of meatballs)

god i love that movie

he made spray on shoes

and then they got stuck

comical moment

[graceful oasis]

Fuck and then what happened

[fading cobalt]

Ball knowledge

[hasty harness]

btw what r the odds that the wee was actually a helpful nat negative but i was just rare blocking it lol

[graceful oasis]

No elite just ball knowledge lmao

[hasty harness]

could have been a dna baron blueprint or brainstorm

[fading cobalt]

Rare ball knowledge

[pale wolf]

Chicot just made my game harder

[ripe iris]

do i try to make a pivot here or stick with campfire and duo

[graceful oasis]

Uncommon ball knowledge detected

[balmy ridge]

he tried to present his spray on shoes at a convention for people who invent shit then he got his shoe spray stuck and they all laughed at him then he cried very sad, then he went to alien land

[fading cobalt]

I don't think cloudy with a chance of meatballs is elite ball knowledge

[graceful oasis]

FUCKFUCKFUCKKKK

[pale wolf]

I think you stick with what you got

[ripe iris]

thats what i was thinkin too

id probably die

[pale wolf]

It's better to have two x mults than one

[fading cobalt]

Duofire or campduo

[ripe iris]

i mean hologram is a very powerful xmult and dna is helpful for my blue seals

[limber agate]

I'm so mad i had a winning run and then my jokers changed position when i wasn't looking and i lost on the last hand

[balmy ridge]

too late to scale hologram and you probably get more value out of your current jokers than you would from dna

[balmy ridge]

if you think you can get more value from it than duo go ahead

[robust lance]

Imagine this but with balatro

[balmy ridge]

that would be so epic

[hasty harness]

uh guys

it might not be the right play but its the FUN play

[hoary jay]

im hitting the road

[hasty harness]

im doing it

[fervent umbra]

yall already know what build were doing this run

[hasty harness]

ig sell out of dna

[limber agate]

i had 22 cloud nine and then i thrws

[hasty harness]

b4 i rip it

[lyric shore]

u got 100 handsize bro

[hoary jay]

who's the hit the road fan they need to know

[robust lance]

Me

[hoary jay]

I'm doing Hit The Road

im copying deaths btw

[wintry ice]

10$

[hasty harness]

okay the dna came back as well

💀

[balmy ridge]

if you done bean glitch then you can use as many ectos as you want

[hoary jay]

are you fucking kidding me.

[balmy ridge]

especially since ur gonna do it agian

[hasty harness]

but it also takes a hit to my score

[balmy ridge]

[hasty harness]

-2 handsize is pretty big

[tulip drum]

That’s wild 😭

Don’t face cards give the best token gain too?

Or at least in the beginning of a run

[hasty harness]

technically aces cuz they give 11 but face cards arent powerful for that reason

[ripe iris]

face cards have a lot of powerful synergies which is why people often gravitate towards them in a run

[hoary jay]

those are called chips

[tulip drum]

True I ran a couple runs and the face cards were really good for my pair build where it gave 21+ multi for pairs

[rugged umbra]

chips dont matter anyway never buy chip jokers!
(sorry first time ragebaiting please be nice)

[hoary jay]

My mood has been ruined.

[tulip drum]

Chips tokens potato patato

[ripe iris]

i hope you die

[tulip drum]

Sad 😔

[ripe iris]

ngl theres only like 3 or 4 good chips jokers tho so i can understand that

[lyric shore]

only 3 or 4 huh

[royal bobcat]

idk how long i can keep this run alive chat

[ripe iris]

idk i only thought of 4

[ripe iris]

and one of them is a bit of a stretch to call good

[royal bobcat]

debt angle?

[hasty harness]

planets go brrrrr

[tacit quail]

10 hands 34 cards 9 handsize 🙏

[tulip drum]

I like the jokers that add huge multi to certain hands like 21+ multi for pairs

[hasty harness]

no ur run is cooked if u do that ngl

2 rentals is tough

[royal bobcat]

i know

but it would be really funny

i don't think i can keep living for much longer anyway

idrc about winning since i alr have all achievements

[hasty harness]

what hand were u playing tho

[tulip drum]

Btw chat what’s a good starter deck to play I’ve unlocked up to black deck

[hasty harness]

if u were spamming pairs u should be fine rn tho lol

[royal bobcat]

flush

[hasty harness]

yellow

[ripe iris]

gold stake black deck

[lyric shore]

blue and yellow

[hasty harness]

i mean its ur run

[dense wraith]

omg this is such a disappointing use for ankh

[hasty harness]

u can try the tribe

[tulip drum]

I mainly spam pairs with the torn in half joker

[royal bobcat]

no if i take the tribe i know i'm dead

[ripe iris]

BLUE SEAL

[hasty harness]

just take the trance

imo

[royal bobcat]

that's like

a fact

[tulip drum]

Thx 🙏

[hasty harness]

yeah obviously

[ripe iris]

WHY WOULD YOU NOT TAKE THE BLUE SEAL

[hasty harness]

but its ur run lol

[minor portal]

120 chips 🗣️

[royal bobcat]

but like do i really want to keep this run alive anyway

[ripe iris]

BANNER ISNT DOING SHIT COMPARED TO A BLUE SEAL

[royal bobcat]

right

[hasty harness]

u said ur reasoning i dont hate it

[rugged umbra]

i have been educated on the goatness of planet cards

🥹

[hasty harness]

planets goated

chip joker = bad

😈

[royal bobcat]

i can't even reroll man

[tacit quail]

its hard to understand how good blue seals are until u get a cooked blue seal run

[rugged umbra]

true 😤

[royal bobcat]

if i do i won't be able to pay for my burnt

[ripe iris]

planets make 90% of chips jokers obsolete

[hasty harness]

blue seals are just SO good

juts sad when u never draw them lol

same go with purples

[dense wraith]

Even without trance being in the pack ankh wouldn't have been worth cloning banner

[rugged umbra]

purples appear when i run out of discards digging for them thats always how it goes

[hasty harness]

btw i saw someone say they might make rebate give $3 do yall think thats a good change

[tacit quail]

no thats ass from a butt

[rugged umbra]

lets meet in the middle and call it 4.99

[hasty harness]

i mean lets be fr as much as we like rebate it is overpowered atm

lol

[tired kestrel]

Real gamers don't abuse planets

[hasty harness]

real gamers do abuse planets

[ripe iris]

"real gamers" lose runs because of that

[tired kestrel]

Ok but

[unreal iron]

CAVENDISH WENT EXTINCT

[tired kestrel]

120 chips is alot

[unreal iron]

i audibly gasped

[hasty harness]

lowkey i hope they dont patch chicot and bean bug in 1.1

[tacit quail]

real gamers planet

[lyric shore]

so what are the good chip jokers

[hasty harness]

its so rare anyway so when u get a run for it

its fun

[tired kestrel]

Skill issue

[royal bobcat]

wait my run is actually alive and beating

[dense wraith]

dude the blue is gonna hit the straight flush 😭

[hasty harness]

rofl

[tired kestrel]

Is it time for the fabled straight flush build?

Wait this could be hype

[ripe iris]

id say like runner, square, bull, and mayb stuntman

[hasty harness]

*stuntman

[dense wraith]

that could be a sign of that

[ripe iris]

stuntman

yeah

mb

[hasty harness]

all g

[lyric shore]

not even wee huh

[ember turtle]

square is the best chips joker because you can play pairslop

[hasty harness]

tbh wee is overrated imo

[tired kestrel]

All of them if you get unlucky with planets

[hasty harness]

if u dont have chad or hack/deckfixing u cant scale it easily

[ember turtle]

wee is awesome with a few retriggers

[hasty harness]

when wee works tho it works

lol

very strong

[tacit quail]

take the L my deck said so

[tired kestrel]

It's a whole 8 chips per play and 2s are easier to find than entire ass straights

[dense wraith]

do I take a pack here or just take blue joker

[tired kestrel]

Literally the fastest scaling chips joker

Main issue is that it's a rare for some reason

[hasty harness]

i didnt say runner was better then wee

i just prefer things like square usually

[tired kestrel]

I'm trying to compare to other jokers

[hasty harness]

true

[wintry ice]

it's a rare because it's far faster than every other option

[hasty harness]

yup

1 chad and wee is already huge

[dense wraith]

wee is possible to be scaled faster than runner with some setup

[wintry ice]

it's the only one that can realistically get over 500 chips

[tired kestrel]

But you're almost never getting it when it matters becasue of that

[hasty harness]

if only it was parking

[royal bobcat]

glimbo!

[wintry ice]

you can take it ante 5 and it'll still help a lot

[tulip drum]

What deck is that

[royal bobcat]

i think it's the polychrome golden jimbo angle

i love that guy

hes literally me

[lyric shore]

i like it

[wintry ice]

poly gold is great

[wintry ice]

ghost

[royal bobcat]

chaos but i can actually spend the money

GUWAH

??!!

[tired kestrel]

Maybe? at that point you should have something for chips surely

[wintry ice]

not a guarrantee

[royal bobcat]

poly golden is really pretty

[unreal iron]

well i did win anyways clutch madness im ngl

and thats another 3 stickers down

[dense wraith]

sold banner for 2 packs and found a better use for ankh

[tired kestrel]

idk wee isn't bad WHEN he works but i have only gotten use of of the thing like twice

And one of the times was an ante 4 wee

[tulip drum]

Cool

[tacit quail]

go play plasma deck take wee and pivot to it EVERY time and you win

no matter what the run is

force it

[tired kestrel]

Ok but like

It's plasma deck

[minor portal]

evil plasma deck

[tacit quail]

also play fullhouse early then move to oak build so youre already ready

yeah plasma you can win gold with just chips dude

[wintry ice]

it doesn't really make sense to take rarity into account for how good a joker is

[tulip drum]

Why is plasma deck evil?

[wintry ice]

if you get a good joker and it fits the build you take it

[lavish gazelle]

Divides chips and mult

[minor portal]

true!

[tulip drum]

That sounds yucky why would u want that 💀

[hasty harness]

evil black deck + 1 hand

[tacit quail]

that would be insanely hard no. youd have to full load chips and play highcard. literally dont get more than 1 mult

i want to play it

[royal bobcat]

holy rental cartomancer into emperor

[wintry ice]

it would also likely be impossible

[tawny bough]

flush run going good :)

[tacit quail]

xmult would be important ig

[wintry ice]

unless score requirements are lowered

[lavish gazelle]

Score blinds would be have to be halved

[tacit quail]

i mean as long as it's 'divides higher by lower'

[hasty harness]

EWWWW

flush

just kidding lol

[wintry ice]

wouldn't that be unusable

[tawny bough]

im new this will be my fourth win if i win

[tacit quail]

not if you get really low chips somehow

[hasty harness]

i was joking lol its just a joke that flush is really bad

[tired kestrel]

The rarity makes it so much more important for a joker to do it's unique role really well, when it can and likely will be replaced by planets or even common jokers because you just got them earlier, that makes a joker alot worse when it pops up so little

[hasty harness]

but any strat can win tbh

[tawny bough]

yeah

[hasty harness]

ur on white stake afterall

its just compared to other hand types flush is lacking

[tawny bough]

i won with three of a kind, pairs, straight and pair so far

[tacit quail]

thats pleasant

[wintry ice]

but that doesn't matter much when said joker can match the planet scaling and give you immunity to things such as flint and eye very quickly

[hasty harness]

flint is an evil boss blind

[royal bobcat]

incantation for jenny, right?

[hasty harness]

makes my planets want to kill themselves

😔

[pale wolf]

maybe just cryptid

depends on what you've been doing

[royal bobcat]

thats the other option yeah

[hasty harness]

out of these options id say cryptid for jenny

[tawny bough]

nom flush

[pale wolf]

I threw my chicot run earlier and feel bad

[royal bobcat]

either i copy queens or i get 4 enhanced cards

[hasty harness]

like if ur only 2 enchancements away

[wintry ice]

yea you could do that and still get license online in time

[hasty harness]

from getting it online

do then queens

[royal bobcat]

i have 6 hands and 9 hand size, so i can just flush my bush

[pale wolf]

incantation could also destroy one of the lucky cards so you only get three net

[balmy ridge]

lol i got 4 of the exact same card from standard packs this run. wonder what the chances of that are

[silent hinge]

stm build👍 (dont mind the jokers)

[dense wraith]

died trying to get a blue seal to hit two pair 💔

[pale wolf]

very low, wow

[silent hinge]

shoot replied wrong

[royal bobcat]

better than 2

[hasty harness]

guys why cant i strength my nat negative stm into baron

[tawny bough]

oooo

[pale wolf]

debatable

[hasty harness]

ITS BATE

*bait

dont take it

[tawny bough]

oh okay

[hasty harness]

para is mid

[hasty harness]

also when u play ur hand make sure u always put ur face card as the first card

infront of aces etc

so chad carries

[tawny bough]

ya ik

[hasty harness]

okay good

i remember my first time i would put the ace for the chad 😭

[tawny bough]

LOL

[wintry ice]

uh i'm pretty sure that's not rebate

[tacit quail]

joker rework idea

Four Fingers

Flushes and Straights require 1 less card to play

this is just a wording change but it allows something really funny

[hasty harness]

😔

[silent hinge]

this was the ante 3 btw

[hasty harness]

four fingers is so buns brooo

[tawny bough]

yeah i think im not gonna lose 🙏

[buoyant ridge]

what am i doing wrong ?

[hasty harness]

goated seed

[tacit quail]

imagine stackable four fingers

2 of them

3 fingers

[hasty harness]

5 fingers

just automatic flush

[balmy ridge]

this seed LOVES queens (3 shoot the moon with showman)

[hasty harness]

😄

[tacit quail]

3 four fingers = straight flush with 2-3

[wintry ice]

focusing in both chips and mult yet again

[tacit quail]

4 of them and high card is a straight flush

[signal frigate]

Gato

[silent hinge]

that would be 8 fingers not 3

[tacit quail]

5 of them? stone card straight flush

[wintry ice]

it's hard to fully tell with just the image of the end screen

[civic moth]

With 5 of them you can play 0 cards for score

[tacit quail]

stone card

[wintry ice]

like you can't tell how the run got there

[signal frigate]

Would that count a hand I wonder?

[haughty widget]

is there any reason not to skip small blinds at higher antes?

[signal frigate]

It'd be real funny if it didn't

[tacit quail]

yes why not

[haughty widget]

on red deck i mean

[signal frigate]

Even if the blind itself doesn't have reward money, your hands still give you money

It's worth playing a round just for the hand money

[haughty widget]

higher stakes sorry

oh

[silent hinge]

cant u like just play 0 cards in cryptid

[haughty widget]

oh that's tru

[tacit quail]

if you have interest dont

[wintry ice]

3$ and the first shop is better than most skip tags

[tacit quail]

if you have no interest and no money it might be worth

always check it

[buoyant ridge]

loosing again, what am i doing wrong ?

[signal frigate]

The faster you can get your interest online, the better

[viral raft]

Baseball is hard carry the run ngl

[vale jetty]

Which joker being copied scores more usually?

[silent hinge]

depends

[tacit quail]

rahhhh 1st round gros michel pop ante 4 sb

[hasty harness]

well u need something to actually retrigger rn

[viral raft]

depends

[wintry ice]

yea

[buoyant ridge]

what am i doing wrong ? was spare trousers a mistake ?

[signal frigate]

Having hack when you're duping kings for some reason??

[hasty harness]

yeah what is hack doing for ur build

[wintry ice]

what steps did you take to get to this point of the run

[viral raft]

weird build and also low scaled pants

the boss doesn't helps too

[buoyant ridge]

idk i wanted spare trouaser to be good at plasma but nothing X mult showed up

[signal frigate]

You are ONLY going +mult, that's why

[wintry ice]

just the end screen isn't enough for us to tell what lead the build to this state

[buoyant ridge]

maybe i slept too much on bull

[tacit quail]

why would you +mult on plasma

[wintry ice]

xmult pivot

[buoyant ridge]

i had like a good red seal card but i wasnt able to duplicate them

[signal frigate]

Eventually, that +mult can get multiplied

[tacit quail]

yeh but by itself im not scaling +mult without an xmult already here

[wintry ice]

ig it makes sense because two pair is already a decent hand for plasma

[tacit quail]

if i have the option of that vs chips

[signal frigate]

Which plasma likes because bigger number is better

[silent hinge]

until ante 6 or 7, bull on plasma is free (mostly)

[fading cobalt]

So many gold stickers in one hand but you're asking for help? 😭

[buoyant ridge]

that gold stickers were because of lucky runs with op jokers

[signal frigate]

Not everyone is good at the game

[buoyant ridge]

on ghost deck

[signal frigate]

You aren't that far in the game yet I can tell

[fading cobalt]

Died cuz you'd probably wanna be looking for xmult in ante 5-6

[signal frigate]

It's plasma

I think he still would've won?

He was just direction less with Hack being there for some ungodly reason

[wintry ice]

i think the best way to go is making planets your main source of base mult when running planets

[fading cobalt]

Lmao

[wintry ice]

but i couls be wrong

[buoyant ridge]

plasma is the only deck thats requires more understanding of chips mult than other decks

[signal frigate]

Eventually you're gonna wanna switch to mult anyways

[blissful fog]

Perkeo just there for the ride lmao

[buoyant ridge]

maybe a calculator would be helpful for each hand on plasma ?

[signal frigate]

Chips just serve as a way to breeze through early antes and build your econ

Find a suitable chip joker early, good econ joker, +mult and Xmult as the last objective

[fading cobalt]

On plasma right

[tawny bough]

fun flush hehe

[wintry ice]

yea

[vale jetty]

What the pick

[buoyant ridge]

and what if i dont find anything X mult or its a tricky X mult ?

[signal frigate]

It's constellation here

[hasty harness]

already have pants so its constellation

[wintry ice]

then you could keep building chips

[vale jetty]

Bet

[viral raft]

Base ball just carry the run lol

[vale jetty]

Ty

[viral raft]

6 uncommons

[fading cobalt]

I didn't notice you're on plasma so you would've wanted to replace hack with more chips

[wintry ice]

would going all in on chips be a good idea if you have directors

[cedar shell]

carto or hallu

[hasty harness]

anaglyph negative skip?

[signal frigate]

Grimbo is second pick but Constellation is too good that it's not even close

[silent hinge]

istg photo always like 7 times in the shop when u dont have space. when u need it just doesnt appear

[hasty harness]

if he didnt already have + mult it'd be closer

[viral raft]

yep, it's purple stake so i'm playing anything

[signal frigate]

With blueprint, Hallucination might actually be better here

[tawny bough]

ooo thats cool bit to late in the run tho

[hasty harness]

doing more then riftraff

[blissful fog]

You can try to find a better chip joker like scary face till you get photo and while finding that, managing econ and upgrading your hand

[tawny bough]

riffraff is x1.5 tho

[viral raft]

yeah, great joker to low poker hand builds

[hasty harness]

how

oh poly

[viral raft]

is polychrome

[tawny bough]

poly

[hasty harness]

i couldnt tell lol

[tawny bough]

ye

[fading cobalt]

Still doing more than riff raff ngl

But then again planet levels might not be worth much in ante 7

[wintry ice]

it goes well with photochad

[viral raft]

nope, is too late and probably Kiwi is not playing low poker hand build

so is not worthy at all

[wintry ice]

if that's your main scoring

[violet sparrow]

alright tips for ghost deck?

[viral raft]

hex in a good joker at the start

then you won

lol

[signal frigate]

You can also just sell it if there's nothing good

[tired kestrel]

Sell hex for an extra 3 bucks

[tawny bough]

what do i do here

[viral raft]

any econ, scaling or xmult joker is worthy yo hex

[viral raft]

2*

[tired kestrel]

1$ interest

[tawny bough]

i got 3/5 on hearts actually nvm

[viral raft]

true

[wintry ice]

polychrome > 3$

[signal frigate]

Play a heart

[tired kestrel]

Also you pop hex literally no matter what joker it is

[tawny bough]

ye ik

[blissful fog]

It honestly depends on the build you're going for

[violet bear]

Love it when greenbo scales 1,5 times more than normal

[vale wharf]

What's the highest score ever played in a single hand?

[tired kestrel]

Ok but, 3 bucks is 3 bucks

[wintry ice]

there's no clear direction that early

[hasty harness]

naneinf

[blissful fog]

Naneinf

[signal frigate]

Spectrals are common enough in Ghost deck that I'd much rather sell it ngl

[fading cobalt]

Getting that early interest would be better than holding hex till you can polychrome a good joker

[violet bear]

Uhh e16?

[viral raft]

almost any joker with hex is worthy lol

[tawny bough]

600k flush

[violet bear]

Oh ever

-nan i think

[viral raft]

GHost is op because of that

[signal frigate]

Naneinf.

[vale wharf]

Even with naneinf, different naneinfs would have different values

[hasty harness]

true

[signal frigate]

1.5x on their own is barely anything

[tacit quail]

so like

[tired kestrel]

no don't, it makes the big blind and boss way easier even if you only have an econ joker it's worth

[viral raft]

Naneinf (1.8E308)

[fading cobalt]

Thats not how naneinf works lol

[blissful fog]

-nan is lower than 0

[wintry ice]

being guarranteed to have an xmult joker is still a more interesting to me

[vale wharf]

Wdym

[fading cobalt]

You can't go higher than naneinf

[hasty harness]

i mean with mods u can see what ur score is even if it goes past naneinf

i think thats what they meant

[signal frigate]

You don't need the Polychrome to survive ante 1 to 3 on goldstake

[fading cobalt]

Oh

Well thats mods tho

[vale wharf]

This

[signal frigate]

Building econ is far more important than holding it for a joker

[hasty harness]

technically not all naneinfs r equal

[tired kestrel]

It makes it easier which is valuable

[vale wharf]

Naneinf is just the limit

[viral raft]

yeah, naneinf isn't a number, the game just break so no matter what you do, nothinmg is highjer than naeinf

[violet bear]

Wait then how does it clear the blind

[tawny bough]

bad deck for ancient unless it gets diamonds or spades

[wintry ice]

it's better to guarrantee early scoring than risk dying to the boss blind

[blissful fog]

True, could've scored more than e308

[vale wharf]

It is, isn't it? It's the limit which anything beyond can't be calculated

[tacit quail]

so like when you have joker stencil how do you play it

just planet max?

[wintry ice]

even something like a polychrome jolly joker is good enough

[tacit quail]

mult cards ig

[blissful fog]

Yea kinda

[signal frigate]

Usually, I find more success in selling it than using it ngl

But that doesn't prove alot

[wintry ice]

anecdotes aren't very valuable

[signal frigate]

It does depend on how you wanna use it I suppose

[fading cobalt]

And technically you can't see the highest number past naneinf without mods so saying naneinf is the highest score in balatro is the best answer you could give to someone

[rustic aspen]

only black deck gold stake left for c+ now

[fading cobalt]

Especially when you take into consideration console players who can't install mods

[tawny bough]

annoying i have 2 blue seals but they keep being in play

[cedar shell]

sixth sense is actualy advanced deck pixing

[vale jetty]

I scaled too fast and now can’t upgrade pants as fast 😭

[signal frigate]

Dupe em

[cedar shell]

advanced card removal

[wintry ice]

this is why you upgrade pairs with it

[tawny bough]

ples game i BEG

[signal frigate]

Going flush may have been a mistake actually

[signal frigate]

Photochad with Ancient should be able to clear this

[tawny bough]

oh yeah i could even play a double or smth lol

[vocal rose]

you are more than fine

[blissful fog]

Photochad alone is enough k think

[vocal rose]

like you will one tap it

[signal frigate]

With Gold Stake, that would be scarier.

[vocal rose]

not even

[signal frigate]

Be happy you're not dealing with 1.2million

[wintry ice]

if it's not enough i'd say it's because of the build being all over the place

[fading cobalt]

360 no scope

[vocal rose]

photochad and aj clears 1.2 vessel

[fading cobalt]

They could even beat 1.2

[signal frigate]

I know, Photochad alone could be threatened by Gstake Vessel but he has Ancient

[tawny bough]

hmmmm idk if that wud win

or i got 2 chances to get 2 more clubs

[vocal rose]

no photochad alone counters violet vessel

even then

[signal frigate]

You had wilds right?

[vocal rose]

so he’s like extra extra okay

[fading cobalt]

Cant you find more clubs

[tawny bough]

i got one wild 😭

[wintry ice]

play the glass and the blue seals

[tired kestrel]

Play hands to draw more clubs

[wintry ice]

you literally won't use the planets anyways

[signal frigate]

That glass can clear it

Even without Ancient support

Play your highest leveled hand with a diamond flush with that glass up front

[vocal rose]

ectoplasm using aj is weird though

[hasty harness]

had to roll down a ton but i got the copy joker i needed

[blissful fog]

Kinda risky

[signal frigate]

He's keeping a poly riff raff, that's probably the least weird part

[tawny bough]

alr easy clear

5th white done

[tacit quail]

guys im entering ante 6 and i havent had more than 2 jokers the whole run

[fading cobalt]

He?

[tacit quail]

peak balatro

[visual atlas]

Hey peeps, am new here, is my naneinf cooked? (this is my first time being near naneinf and its unseeded ) ive been serpent farming but i cant find another copy joker, if i take the shop burglar would that give me another 3 hands or do i have to keep rolling and hope for a blueprint/brainstorm - also have to save money for rerolling the boss

[polar yacht]

I FINALLY COMPLETED BLACK DECK ON GOLD STAKE

[wintry ice]

her her her her her herher herher

fred fasbear

[hasty harness]

gg

[tired kestrel]

Ancient deck diff ngl

[tacit quail]

welcome to the post pain club

[signal frigate]

I don't look at people's pronouns on the internet that often

[tacit quail]

ancient deck 😭

[vocal rose]

you need 4 copy jokers for the scoring

[tawny bough]

IM SO DUMB I PUT THEM IN THE WRONG ORDER BRO KILL ME

[signal frigate]

Always assume everyone is a man.

[fading cobalt]

I would say by their name alone its obvious they're a girl 😭

[tawny bough]

im so pissed of rn...

[vocal rose]

so you’ll probably not get enough

scoring

[signal frigate]

Welp, we go again.

[hasty harness]

ngl ur probably cooked unless u find another copy rn cuz next ante ur dead

[tired kestrel]

I forgot what it was called dog

[hasty harness]

since u cant reroll for serpent

[blissful fog]

Ante 31 is your last chance so you need alotta luck to find it

[fading cobalt]

Holy fumble

[tawny bough]

imma do ghost deck again

[signal frigate]

I can change my name to "Princess Bubblegum", would it be obvious?

[vocal rose]

please tell me how you fumble this

[vocal rose]

oh my god

[blissful fog]

Throw of the century

[tired kestrel]

smh

[tawny bough]

yep

[signal frigate]

I can see them making that mistake because they're relatively new

But it does feel bad

[hasty harness]

bean bug go brrrr

[fading cobalt]

If you put the special star and heart symbol next to it then yeah I would assume so

[signal frigate]

Three oak wasn't the best hand to play considering you seemed to have leveled up flush alot

[tawny bough]

NOO I HAVE NO DISCARDS 💔

[vocal rose]

ante 39 moment

[hasty harness]

im planning on it

[blissful fog]

Ante 39 kinda run right there

[wintry ice]

not exactly

[hasty harness]

this where im at rn

[tawny bough]

i didnt get a flush tho

[signal frigate]

Strush round 1 is impressive though

[hasty harness]

im gonna try and bean bug again on ante 32

if i can get a bean

[signal frigate]

Did you bean exploit?

[hasty harness]

yup

[vocal rose]

I always try use gender neutral words tbh

[signal frigate]

Nice.

[hasty harness]

25 handsize rn

[visual atlas]

@vocal rose @hasty harness @blissful fog yeah i thought i was cooked ngl, i did have another baron but i realised too late that i didnt have enough hands to reach naneinf

[hasty harness]

and 2 ectos

[fading cobalt]

Yeah I was presuming heavily but still

[tawny bough]

lol its a restart run anyway cuz i had to use hands to get the royal flush

[buoyant ridge]

chips are so difficult on plasma, i suck at this game

[tawny bough]

its a royal flush LOL

[hasty harness]

tough

[blissful fog]

2k dullers yea you can prolly find it lol

[hasty harness]

its not that hard to get a naninf tho

[tired kestrel]

ah yes because as we all know usernames always tell you a persons gender

[fading cobalt]

Same or I just check pronouns

[hasty harness]

so youll be fine

[signal frigate]

Why? You're first round

[vocal rose]

they’re the same

[signal frigate]

They count as one

[lyric shore]

eternal parei!

[fading cobalt]

Of course not. Just some do

[signal frigate]

Lmao

[wintry ice]

i'd say eternal pareidolia and eternal rental sock are the root of this loss

[vocal rose]

too much work for stepping on landmines

[buoyant ridge]

but i needed chips and more retriggers

[vocal rose]

that WILL blow up very much

[signal frigate]

I always play a run even if I lose because of that one miniscule chance that it might win

[tawny bough]

imma try find a royal flush

[signal frigate]

Best feeling ever

[fading cobalt]

What landmines?

[tacit quail]

this is mathematically better right

5x5=25
4x4=16 x1.5= 24 x1.5 = 36

[buoyant ridge]

and why does dr spectred take rentals early ? i would never do that

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[signal frigate]

You've got a pretty low chance

[tired kestrel]

bruh how do you get a gender out of that name

[vocal rose]

unintentionally misgendering someone

[visual atlas]

yeah just annoying cos its first time being near it, i got e304 tho i guess

[signal frigate]

Because he's fuckin Doc Spec

[tawny bough]

well i need to discard it for a goated card

[tired kestrel]

They're really good jokers

[hasty harness]

you can survive with one rental depending on what it is but 2 rentals will cook u

[vocal rose]

bc he wins

[blissful fog]

You need another copy joker since you need a minimum of 20 hands to reach enough handsize for naneinf

[tired kestrel]

The simple answer is that the rental is worth it

[fading cobalt]

The profile and the symbols

[signal frigate]

Rentals become meaningless when the Joker it's attached to pays it off

[violet bear]

The doctor can what most cannot

[buoyant ridge]

plasma is the deck im struggling the most

[lyric shore]

its really hard

[tacit quail]

I AM SOOOO CLUTCH

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[tired kestrel]

Literally anyone can do that

[vocal rose]

I wouldn’t say meaningless since you’d get even more value without rental

[hasty harness]

get chips early and then pivot into something later

[tacit quail]

natneg on a joker stencil build bro im clutch

[tawny bough]

so closeee

[fading cobalt]

Of course but yk. Most of the time you can guess and be right

[signal frigate]

Probably the worst negative you can get with that setup

[buoyant ridge]

how is roffle so good at plasma ?

[vocal rose]

just hop on checkered deck

[tacit quail]

its still +mult

[fading cobalt]

Gee its a server of a poker game and you're surprised I take a gamble on someones pronouns based on their profile

[signal frigate]

True but I'm saying if you got no choice but to take that rental

[blissful fog]

Experience

[visual atlas]

if i take the burglar in the shop, would that add +3 hands so i would reach 20 hands, but then i dont think i have enough scoring

[buoyant ridge]

should i skip the first one ?

[royal bobcat]

WERE ONLINE BABY

[tired kestrel]

What if you just didn't guess because thats pretty rude

[royal bobcat]

JENNY TAKE THE WHEEL, WE'RE GOING TO VEGAS

[tawny bough]

havent even got that unlocked yet im quite new

[hasty harness]

massive

[latent egret]

survivorship bias

[hasty harness]

no why would u skip for a $8 double

[signal frigate]

Investment???

[fading cobalt]

Well the other guy just calls everyone he

[royal bobcat]

only one temp for my egg so far

[fading cobalt]

So

[signal frigate]

I can't fuckin tell

[tawny bough]

bruh

[hasty harness]

its the double skip tag

[blissful fog]

No. You need the versitality of the copy jokers since they act as another baron in that situation

[hasty harness]

just play the flush

[royal bobcat]

[hasty harness]

lol

[royal bobcat]

CURSE BE UPON YE, FOUL ORANGE STAKE

[tawny bough]

im tryna unlock brainstorm

[hasty harness]

ohhh

[signal frigate]

You can sell that far left one

[hasty harness]

then hop on checkered

[tired kestrel]

Thats way less in your face and likely just a habit

[hasty harness]

if u have it

[signal frigate]

Oh it's fuckin perishable

Awesome

[tacit quail]

Most Useful Spectral Pack (both options are grayed out)

[visual atlas]

oh yeah 100%, was thinking of selling the showman for it tho, as im cooked next ante regardless

[blissful fog]

Go checkered and play royal flush there

[fading cobalt]

Way less in your face? Huh

[tawny bough]

i dont have checkered 😭

[royal bobcat]

i hope orange stakes gonna be reworked

[violet bear]

The blue sticker on the blue joker hides itself once more

[hasty harness]

is rental still going off on perished jokers a bug or intentional btw

just curious

[trail pier]

just had the free-est run of all time (stuntman, 2 red cards, card sharp, burnt joker)

[signal frigate]

Well gee, someone with a bit of sense into em

[blissful fog]

Oh damn

[hasty harness]

just feels like it shouldnt

[royal bobcat]

perishable is like not fun

compared to rental or eternal

idk

[fading cobalt]

The eternal sticker hiding itself on a bad joker is the worst tho

[signal frigate]

It adds an interesting twist to the stakes, I think it's not a bad sticker

[blissful fog]

Yea that's unfortunate. It took me many attempts to get unseeded naneinf

[tawny bough]

AYEEEE

[fading cobalt]

I'd rather lose a joker after 5 rounds then get my econ fucked by rental

[violet bear]

The funniest is hologram’s hat hiding the rental sticker

[signal frigate]

Only took your entire round 1 economy

[fading cobalt]

Worth it

[trail pier]

rental is way worse imo

[signal frigate]

Pretty funny though

[tawny bough]

restarts left the chat

[fading cobalt]

Yeah

[trail pier]

losing $3 eveyr round sucks

[fading cobalt]

Its not the worst thing

[tawny bough]

its so i can unlock brainstorm lol

[fading cobalt]

But it can be bad quite often

[signal frigate]

Play your runs man, you'll learn more by losing more than restarting

[fading cobalt]

Eternal rentals are the worst

[tawny bough]

BRAINSTORM

[trail pier]

early game its really bad but late game its managable

[signal frigate]

You could've done that way easier in Checkered if you have it unlocked

[latent egret]

the humble trading card

[tawny bough]

i dont have it unlocked jeezzzz

[blissful fog]

Unless I have econ and its a blueprint lmao

[hasty harness]

even in ante 2-3 its not that bad as long as u can meet interest

[signal frigate]

Well if but congrats

[fading cobalt]

Even early game can be manageable cuz of common econ jokers

[violet bear]

Eternal rentals are fine if that joker makes it much more likely for you to win the run

[fading cobalt]

Lol

[signal frigate]

Early game is like the best part imo

[hasty harness]

like burnt joker for example

ill take it everytime

[tawny bough]

thanksss only took like 10 attempts

[signal frigate]

That's where your decision matters the most

[tired kestrel]

Just calling someone "he" is much different than claiming out loud that you think they're a guy, dedicating the entire message for it too

[violet bear]

Or certificate, a scaling option, a very good econ joker

[fading cobalt]

I love niche scenarios where eternal rental doesn't suck as an argument to whether not eternal rental is bad

[hasty harness]

blue seals 😈

[signal frigate]

Are we still on with this?

[violet bear]

An xmult

[hasty harness]

i love blue seal abuse

[fading cobalt]

Ok huh

[tacit quail]

so peak

[violet bear]

Blue seal do be good

[fading cobalt]

Sorry if I hurt your feelings what

[tacit quail]

on the WLW seed............................. joker stencil is female

[trail pier]

shop 1 scary face, smiley face and photograph wtf

[violet bear]

But you know what’s better than a blue seal? TWO blue seals
