[pale wolf]

[patent prairie]

[languid pecan]

thats why i said drop supernova and not tc

lol

[patent prairie]

[sly bolt]

well, it's a different kind of cute

but I guess it's the same

here's to more colored zebs

[pale wolf]

im just like, guess im blue now

[languid pecan]

do you think they wouldve given joker role if that happened to anyone else

[sly bolt]

🍪

[pale wolf]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[sly bolt]

oh

oh.

yeah :<

[pale wolf]

is that a lot of discards

[sly bolt]

6 discards I think

[pale wolf]

but it all good now

[pale wolf]

holy golden needle practic3

[sly bolt]

there should be gold stake challenge decks tbh...

[pale wolf]

i had the idea that you need to beat each stake on all challenge decks to unlock the next one

[proven gulch]

oh god this takes up 2 joker slots, removes my xmult but its so much valueeee

[sly bolt]

that is very tedious to do tho 🥀

honestly there should just be a challenge randomizer

[languid pecan]

why 2 joker slots?

[pale wolf]

ohoho yea

[proven gulch]

no tc value

[languid pecan]

true

[proven gulch]

i skipped

[languid pecan]

whyd you sell burnt

wasnt burnt a free win

+2 mult +30 chips per round

[pale wolf]

between burnt and vagglebond

i dont value tcard more than either, vagabond is enough card removal eventually

[languid pecan]

True

Holographic is nice too considering not much mult going on

Wait I'm dumb

[pale wolf]

oh shit that's an eternal trading card

never mind LMF

it hides so well

goodbye midnight chat

[languid pecan]

Goodbye 1 am chat

[proven gulch]

diminishing returns

[fading cobalt]

Roffle Heavy > Roffle Lite

[proven gulch]

holy

[fading cobalt]

Yooo a purple seal

Fire

[proven gulch]

mega :)

[fading cobalt]

Oh shit wait its actually fire

Can riff raff give negatives?

[solid garden]

so true

[fading cobalt]

I mean so far I've just been seeing ante 8 runs that aren't just stupid endless brainrot so

It feels much more genuine than his lite runs

[proven gulch]

yes

same chance as nat neg

[fading cobalt]

Wow

Isn't riff Raff just genuinely amazing then?

[proven gulch]

yeah, but not bc of negatives

[fading cobalt]

Its like a free reroll generator tho

[proven gulch]

that's why i take eternal rif raff early game

[exotic orchid]

Tips for abandoned deck? I don't play this deck much. Only played once on white stake because i dont like the lack of face cards. But need it for gold sticker now.

[fading cobalt]

Its chaos the clown and coupon tag in a joker

Essentially

[proven gulch]

straight

[fading cobalt]

Well yeah but still pretty great

[exotic orchid]

That should be my focus?

[proven gulch]

it's just broken because it lets you build up interest w/o spending on jokers

[fading cobalt]

No they're calling you straight

[fading cobalt]

Yep

Also temperance value

[proven gulch]

yeah, go lobotomy if you can though

[exotic orchid]

Wot?

[fading cobalt]

Balatro lobotomy

Balatromy

[exotic orchid]

Is that a mod?

[fading cobalt]

No

[exotic orchid]

:|

[fading cobalt]

[exotic orchid]

I will ask in #🎙・server-chat

[floral mural]

also on gold stake is generates jokers with no stickers

like perishable eternal and rental

those gurranteed to be missing is so good

[random basalt]

Is this right? "if a card already has an enhancement and you put another enhancement on that card, the new enhancement will replace the previous one. This also applies to editions and seals"

Obvious answer, just checking

[obsidian patrol]

It does not apply to editions no?

[tranquil cargo]

yes, that's how it works for playing cards at least

for jokers, you can't replace the edition

[random basalt]

On playing cards

[solid garden]

I love occasional silly runs on lite

[fading cobalt]

Not the biggest fan myself

[unreal island]

big hands like straights, 3oak, and 4oak are much better on abandoned due to the smaller initial deck

[wicked warren]

little early for you idol

[white coral]

how rare is this

No negative skip and two negatives

[unreal island]

i'd say at least rarer than getting a baron

anyway actual answer is probably close to 0.3% squared

[stiff ore]

say, can i still use straight flushes to unlock the flush joker?

[white coral]

First run today i lost on ante 1 but found a natural negative photograph :(

[stiff ore]

oof

[white coral]

Has to be flush

[stiff ore]

okay

so straight/royal flush is fine

[white coral]

Nah

I wouldnt risk it at least if ur going for the unlock

[stiff ore]

well my thought was to use checkered deck for straight flushes instead of normal flushes

[white coral]

Straight flush and royal flush contain flush, but this says win without A Flush

[stiff ore]

yeah but the flush planet isnt the same as straight flush planet

[white coral]

My bad i forgot you had to win without

[stiff ore]

same with 5 flush

[white coral]

I thought you were tryna win with

[stiff ore]

nono

win without to unlock the joker

[unreal island]

yes

[stiff ore]

only one im missing in the row

[unreal island]

its just the hand flush

[stiff ore]

good to know, deck, get that checkered ass over here lol

[stiff ore]

i figured that was the case but i wanted to make sure before i put a bunch of time into it lol

[unreal island]

i mean its not that bad to win a run w/o playing flush

i did it accidentally on my second file

[stiff ore]

its the main hand i play

[unreal island]

ah

[stiff ore]

i did too accidentally on mobile lol

i was using full/flush house

just couldnt remember if the flush house/straight/5 flush etc, worked

[proper turtle]

lol what black stake red deck just like that?

[stiff ore]

lol nice

i just got order too so straights are gonna be brilliant for this joker

god i hat when gros michel dies immediately

[proper turtle]

note that straights are a harder hand to play

[proper turtle]

that's the best part, you get a cavendish in return

[stiff ore]

yeah if it shows up for me

[proper turtle]

this was a high card run died on ante 11

[stiff ore]

yeahhh nope

[potent tree]

once again i cannot sleep

[flint tapir]

chat its a sign

[marsh dove]

💔

[covert quail]

im crine bru

[supple veldt]

stencil vs poly hack 👁️

[unreal iron]

when the soul

[unreal island]

damn bruh i got work in 4.5 hours

pulling an all nighter is fun i suppose

[vale shale]

Funny enough mine ends in 30 minutes

Yes!!! Sunday!!!

[covert quail]

[vale shale]

I don't have to work!!

[covert quail]

huh sunday

[unreal island]

straight bala'ing it

[covert quail]

it just became saturday for me bri ✌️

[unreal island]

bro i got this stupid fucking blister on my thumb

[vale shale]

Bro's on the other side of the globr

[covert quail]

😭

[vale shale]

Cover it up.

[unreal island]

thinking of popping it

then just putting a bandaid

[covert quail]

do it

js like dont get it dirty

[vale shale]

Nah realistically. That's kinda bad.

[unreal island]

alright where's my spare used needles

[covert quail]

could lwk scar tho

[unreal island]

that's kinda badass

[covert quail]

needle and nail clippers 😭

[unreal island]

nail clippers is nasty work

toenail blister

[vale shale]

I had a blister on my foot but my goofy ahh friend pinched it with nails, not poked it, pinched it, and it hurt as hell

[covert quail]

i had one and i used a knife and scissors

[vale shale]

I used medicine to cover it up but it was slimy and the medicine I applied didn't stick to the wound

[covert quail]

but it was lwk in between my fingers so i had to break it

[vale shale]

So I just slopped the medicine all over it and put a band-aid

[covert quail]

wths even in a blister bro

[vale shale]

Water

[unreal island]

yummy blister fluid

[vale shale]

It can be blood.

[unreal island]

even better

[vale shale]

Which is literally just the same as water but it's just uncomfortable to see.

[covert quail]

how tf does that even happen you gotta get like hella burnt or smn

[vale shale]

I had a blister after a pan filled with literal oil. Like a bottle deep frying, feel onto my foot.

Fortunately, it was off the fryer after it was like boiling hot

But it was still hot as hell.

[covert quail]

i got mine from getting melted caramel on my finger

[violet bear]

Mmm, deepfried toes

[patent bridge]

just watched DrSpectred's run with Obelisk

craziest run ever

It should be in books

[violet bear]

That obelisk was insane

How does one even do it

[patent bridge]

hes just the goat

[vale shale]

How much x

[patent bridge]

like

wow

[vale shale]

Reminds me of the time I utilized obelisk for the first time

Wait let me pull up the image

[patent bridge]

did u see the video?

[violet bear]

5 2pair was his highest

[patent bridge]

Its 15 minutes only

[violet bear]

That was an insane take

Idt anyone sane would’ve gone for it

[vale shale]

Nope

But this was my first obelisk run

[violet bear]

Watch it

[patent bridge]

yea watch it

[patent bridge]

it was like that lol

[violet bear]

Yeah pretty much

[vale shale]

Because I had like 3oak at 4 but I bought obelisk before the blind and that was my only good scoring joker

[patent bridge]

Bro like I feel like my brain shouldn't have seen that

[vale shale]

So I had to stop at 5 or else the run ends.

[patent bridge]

I'll have that run in my mind for months

[violet bear]

And he did it while speedrunning

[patent bridge]

yeaa

[violet bear]

Like, how

[vale shale]

The GOAT gotta do GOAT stuff.

DrSpectred did that move

[violet bear]

Doc is simply not human

[late topaz]

finally beating gold stake with whatever the hell those joker setup is

[obsidian patrol]

looks inside

Normal joker setup

[vale shale]

Photograph without any joker synchronizing with it

Brilliant.

[obsidian patrol]

Only for genius

[vale shale]

I guess I forgor what joker that is with the spade, can synchronize wit it.

[late topaz]

didnt find any Chad or buskin just red seal lucky card

[proper turtle]

are we humiliating violet vessel like this? bbc blueprint and brainstorm setup is crazy

ggs, anaglyph deck

[unreal island]

shortcut should've been up front

after brainstorm

[proper turtle]

oh yeah, I forgot banana was poly

5 negatives lol, anaglyph deck is funny

lmaooooo

[tired kestrel]

I'M SO COOKED

So fucking close too

If i could just save 1 high card the eye was up next i could squirt out a few pairs to play

o7

FUCK i was playing so well i made 1 mistake

[proper turtle]

my highest ever round score lol

[violet bear]

The obby licks burglar gambit

[tired kestrel]

I feel like i needed all those eternals to live too, if i could've saved just 1 i would be fine

[austere escarp]

do I sell yorick for blueprint?

[violet bear]

No

Yorick is the most consistent scaling xmult joker in the game

[austere escarp]

blueprint does everything

[tired kestrel]

Blueprint will just copy a worse joker

[austere escarp]

real

[quartz ember]

yesssss blueprint automatically wins1!1!!1

[austere escarp]

TRUE AND REAL

[violet bear]

Real

[austere escarp]

also this is kinda a crazy seed

I also have 9 twos and 7 4s

[violet bear]

Find the wee

Do it

[rancid niche]

Wee in the buffoon pack

[austere escarp]

free win

[rancid niche]

Discard vouchers would go hard here

[austere escarp]

or merry

[rancid niche]

What hand are you playing?

[minor portal]

wonder what I should take

[rancid niche]

Merry is awesome

[austere escarp]

4oak mainly

[rancid niche]

Pretty good

[tired kestrel]

THis game is fucking stupid HOW AM I ALIVE

[minor portal]

I should probably sell stencil

[rancid niche]

You're in ante 4 with bunkler as your only scoring option

[violet bear]

Scoring from jonklers

[rancid niche]

That's something you wanna consider

[minor portal]

yeah.... I should probably get a third chicot

[violet bear]

The flint is only brutal if a lot of your score comes from hand leveling

[rancid niche]

You wanna pull off the hand size thing?

[minor portal]

No I just think it's funny

Which it is.

[rancid niche]

That's honestly the best way to play this game lol

Choose the funny thing over winning because you can almost always win on low stakes

[minor portal]

bait of doom and despair

on a silver platter no less

[twin lantern]

wth is that club joker

[austere escarp]

lowkey W yorick

[twin lantern]

i wah

want that

AND

why is your yorick cutie patootie

i want that

[austere escarp]

yandere jokers mod

[long lark]

just found a yorick card. is it any good ?

[austere escarp]

yes

[tired kestrel]

KILLING EVERYONE

[neat ore]

Guys i have a specteral idea what if there was a spectral card or a tarot card kinda like lovers but it would count as any rank instead of suit

I know im a genius

[twin lantern]

youre a genius

i think youre cute

[neat ore]

Thanks

[twin lantern]

<3

[hollow temple]

I have no idea what I’m doing

FUCK

[rancid niche]

The name is so funny

Reverse space jimbo

[rancid niche]

A joker then

[twin lantern]

thats... not the name

thats the boss desc

[rancid niche]

Potato potato

Tomato tomato

[neat ore]

Your nice

[twin lantern]

❌

[neat ore]

What

[twin lantern]

thank youuu

[neat ore]

I need you to do me a favor

[rancid niche]

In card games the joker counts as any rank and suit

So a joker would be what you're describing

[neat ore]

I mean balatro

[long lark]

wow that card was cool. i only got it too x4 since it was a 2 pair run on 2nd seal red deck lol

[rancid niche]

I know

[twin lantern]

what is it..?

do you not want me to talk ever again

i can do that if you think im annoying

[rancid niche]

If you wanna add a new enhancement of some sort it would be the joker, it turns regular cards into jokers, counts as any rank and any suit. Basically compliments your hand whatever it is, if played with 3oak it would make 4oak, if played with a suited 4oak it'll be flush five

[neat ore]

Actually the opposite your really nice

[twin lantern]

im quite curios

[lunar zealot]

you get 1 million dollars but balatro is never created

[rancid niche]

You're not annoying

[lunar zealot]

yes or no

[twin lantern]

and scared at the same time

[rancid niche]

Nope

[twin lantern]

yes pleae

i will buy a lot of garlic bread

[rancid niche]

How much?

[neat ore]

Only if yonkai watch gets better

Then I'm accepting it

Make yo kai watch 3 better then we have a deal

And 4 ofc

[rancid niche]

If any of you take the deal and my beloved balatro is removed from reality. I will find you, and I will delete your system32

[vale shale]

But localthunk is still alive right?

[twin lantern]

like around 94

[rancid niche]

That's a whole lot of garlic bread

[twin lantern]

right right???

mmm galic bread

[rancid niche]

How many vampires are you planning to assassinate?

[twin lantern]

none

i like vampire

[rancid niche]

Good, may I come in?

[twin lantern]

i wanna be a vampire

[twin lantern]

only if you bring garlic bred

[neat ore]

That's some expensive garlic bread

[rancid niche]

Sure

What beverage goes best with garlic bread?

[twin lantern]

i guess wine?

[lunar zealot]

No he disappears mysteriously

[twin lantern]

NOOOOOOOOOO

[hollow temple]

Choices choices

[twin lantern]

bea will you be my trainer

[neat ore]

I asked John balatro to hire me because I invited the atari he ignored me

[neat ore]

I could why not

[rancid niche]

If you're playing full houses pick wily for short term chips because you probably don't have enough chips yet

[twin lantern]

yay!!!!

you may call me yumi ^^

[rancid niche]

Pretty sure there was a juice called yumi

[long lark]

decided endless mode for winning & the game decided using it against me in the end

[twin lantern]

umm uhhh 😳

[neat ore]

I think I might just call ya that

[twin lantern]

thank you

[vale shale]

Guys

I'm gonna play 1 gold stake

Give ke a deck

[unreal iron]

make that nebula deck

yes suffer :3

[vale shale]

I got cha!

It's just 1 game so like

[rancid niche]

Oh it was yomi

[unreal iron]

you gotta win tho

[vale shale]

If I lose the first round it's over

[unreal iron]

uh uh

go for a win

winning run lfg

[vale shale]

I'll update

[rancid niche]

You know I think I'm gonna do the same, choose a deck for me too

[twin lantern]

☹️

[twin lantern]

golden deck

[rancid niche]

Yellow deck?

[neat ore]

What happens if I talk about something that isn't balatro

Do I get put in jail

[rancid niche]

I'm still on orange stake on yellow deck so I guess I'll just win orange and then gold

[minor portal]

do y'all know how I should order my jonkers

[vale shale]

Bing bong.

[minor portal]

I might be on to something

[rancid niche]

+mult to the left and xmult to the right

[unreal iron]

already ante 2 and you got something cooking

get rid of ummm

hmmm...

ice cream? probably?

how much are you scoring

how many pair levels rn

maybe riff raff is the play i dont think you need any other jokers although +mult would be very nice

[rancid niche]

OH MY GOD TRIB IN ANTE 3

[jagged torrent]

You simultaneously combust

[twin lantern]

tribblet

[violet bear]

Chadless photo to sticker invisible and the +chips straight joker on a pair build was definitely a run

5 left and i’m finally free

[vale shale]

Gg

This is like.

The wordt luck I've gotten

Everything after bs was just peak garbage

"I need a scoring joker"
"Ok here's satellite"

[unreal iron]

you couldve sold sly and ice cream if you did score enough to generate something like abstract or summit

not sure why you have both 8 ball and hallucination too

it is indeed gg that sucks

[raw loom]

Does space joker still proc even if the card played is debuffed ?

[rancid niche]

Yes

I lost to a lack of sock and buskin

Apparently uncommons are rare in my runs

Used a DNA, sold it, found it in the next shop twice

And no sock and buskin

And no chad too

[tawny bough]

funni start

i need mult tho bad

WHYYY

so rip dna or rip 2x flush

[white zodiac]

dna on black

[tawny bough]

good point LOL

[white zodiac]

synergies prob

consistency wise, kings are worse

as straights exist

[pale wolf]

kiwi nolifing this game got damn

jus like me fr

[dry remnant]

photochad on steroids

[vale mist]

[willow frost]

wait youre a joker?

[pale wolf]

jokular

[willow frost]

how did that

happen

[pure oasis]

would it be +ev to keep drunkard instead of tthe Golden Joker to feed more Rebate and Parking?

[willow frost]

yeah keep drunkard

[pale wolf]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[pure oasis]

yup, thanks. gonna keep itt

[willow frost]

lmao

[white zodiac]

not to be that guy or anything but I was the first one to notice

[pale wolf]

not to be that guy but
i definitely noticed first

[vale mist]

well if you find that one discard on average is earning you more than $4, then ya

[pale wolf]

🤪

[white zodiac]

no you weren't
you got banned here how could you notice 👅

[pale wolf]

on top of just 5 being more than 4, you can get multiple of those 5s in the same discard and theyre also pre-interest, so you can safely spend below $25

[tired kestrel]

what the hell do i do here

Big blind btw

[vale mist]

not to mention probable parking benefit

[vale mist]

you could grab photochad to boost one hand that doesn't win, then sell before winning hand to avoid rental

[tired kestrel]

Oh yea i didn't see that

[pale wolf]

there's no photo chad

[vale mist]

oh oops I mean photo 😭

[tired kestrel]

well fuck i need to hold photo

DIED ANYWAY

[vale mist]

aaand emergency points

[tired kestrel]

killing myself

[vale mist]

noooo

[tired kestrel]

Imagine not being able to draw a flush with smeared joker

i'm trying jimbo i'm trying

[vale mist]

I've been trying to get my gold stake on black deck too

it's a struggle man

[tired kestrel]

The worst part is that i fucked up 2 winning runs because of missplays

[violet bear]

That’s wild

[white zodiac]

not rly sure if what you had was a winning run

[white zodiac]

#🕹・game-discussion message

the storm

[tired kestrel]

I don't mean this run dummy

just in general

[white zodiac]

o

[pure oasis]

Can i beat the Plant 20k with 5 hands. Lvl 3 Full house. Or try to find chips joker at any cost.

[violet bear]

[pure oasis]

there is only 3 copies of 9s and Ts in the deck to make it harder

[vale mist]

well this is an encouraging start- carto and black hole from first shop, took econ tag, and carto gives me hermit

[violet bear]

Next ante there would’ve been aj in the buffoon pack trust

[tired kestrel]

Nice go

[pale wolf]

this is actually the first time I've scrolled through the chat log of when it happened

[tired kestrel]

dog even aj can't save me from black deck at this point

[violet bear]

OMEGALUL

[white zodiac]

nsfl spoilers

[violet bear]

Honestly fair enough

[pale wolf]

wild zebra gets savagely killed by homeless man

[tired kestrel]

Dude i got further with raised fist than ancient joker on average at this point

[vale mist]

uhh is this a trap

[tired kestrel]

No you're on black deck

Very worth even if only for early game

[vale mist]

ooo

very encouraging start

[tired kestrel]

Take eternal joker stencil and save yourself from other bad joker pickups

[violet bear]

Well fist is also a pretty good jonkler

[tired kestrel]

Yeah it is but it ain't no aj

[violet bear]

But going further with it than aj is kinda crazy

[tired kestrel]

I just had no money on the aj runs

[pale wolf]

balatrodle in 3 and oh boy are people going to be pissed about this one

[tired kestrel]

||fym its not scaling||

[violet bear]

OMEGALUL

||technically it is copying the hand number and giving that flat mult off that||

[tired kestrel]

THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME

[violet bear]

But yeah that’s kinda dumb

[pale wolf]

got to love rebate value

[violet bear]

Common orang stake L

Actually

Common skip tag L

[pale wolf]

truth

[tired kestrel]

At least it's 8 bucks due to temperance

[white zodiac]

8

[tired kestrel]

yeah cuz i have to buy temperance

[tawny bough]

my pairs r lvl 15 i think imma kill the burnt joker since i just got playing card

[white zodiac]

can't believe bs exists just for rebate value

[tired kestrel]

What for?

[violet bear]

Its still 50 free chips until you find something else

[white zodiac]

no reason to rn

[tawny bough]

it doesnt go with trading card so well since im playing pairs

[tired kestrel]

It doesn't need to go yet

[violet bear]

Also levels high card for a possible obby tbh

[tawny bough]

oh yeah lol

[tired kestrel]

Honestly, burnt joker might be better

[white zodiac]

trading card goes well with anything when you have any value in your deck

[pale wolf]

You kind of want to be able to play a lot of lv1 high cards if your pair is overscoring though, for a scaling bus
probably late enough into the run that it doesn't matter though

[dry remnant]

what should i go for gold stake today? ghost or plasma

[violet bear]

Yeah its ante 6

[vale mist]

woah this seed is a little stacked

[violet bear]

I’m looking more to a possible obby than scaling rtb

[white zodiac]

plassma

[tired kestrel]

WTF can i have it please god 😭

[dry remnant]

i hate you for that but okay

[fervent plover]

I think there is a bug, where if u connect headphones or something, sound does not come fr{m it. Game needs a restart

Is it fixed or still persisting?

[pale wolf]

Mobile right?

[fervent plover]

Pc

[vale mist]

trust will send (preferably after a screen that reads "you win!")

[fervent plover]

I don't have on android yet

[pale wolf]

huh never heard of it

[dry remnant]

I'm so trying this seed

[tired kestrel]

No i mean can you like, digitally send me your luck or smth

[fervent plover]

I literally had to restart to have it play on IEM

[tired kestrel]

Put cosmic rays into my pc so the my random seed is the same as yours

[fervent plover]

Only this game has it

[pale wolf]

yeah this game has a few issues like that

luckily restarting the game makes it completely normal

[violet bear]

The super mario cosmic ray skip

[vale mist]

oh bet

sending chi to your rng

[violet bear]

Truly remarkable

[tawny bough]

funfun

[tired kestrel]

ty gang

[violet bear]

Yummy

[dry remnant]

am i able to get bull from riff raff?

[pale wolf]

if you're winning with two discards left over then I feel like it's time to get rid of t card next tbh

[white zodiac]

only commons

[violet bear]

Its an uncommon

[vale mist]

wow this just keeps getting prettier

[dry remnant]

in what world is bull uncommonmmm

[vale mist]

for the love of me if I throw

[tired kestrel]

WE HAVE ARUN

[violet bear]

Skip for red card value

[tawny bough]

bringing out the calc

[dry remnant]

that is horrid

[dry remnant]

pretty much

[violet bear]

The needle is cooked

[pale wolf]

bull being common would change a lot i think

[violet bear]

Finding bull at the same rate as square man would be nuts

[pale wolf]

You could just ignore chips for the first half of the game assuming that you'll see a bull by building up money

[violet bear]

Yeah

[pale wolf]

at least it can be perishable

[white zodiac]

the uncommon rarity ballot change they didn't account for

[flat scarab]

I have a question... what should I get rid of here?

[floral mural]

bull is a fine joker since holding 50 dollars for 100 chips is far better than holding boots for 20 mult

[violet bear]

The 4x i think

[white zodiac]

vin diesel ⛽

[acoustic kettle]

What if chad becomes a rare

[violet bear]

Trib sock scores infinitely more

[vale mist]

sock the family for the sock

insane phrase

[pale wolf]

imagine they swap rarities

[tired kestrel]

DUDe

[flat scarab]

alr TY🙏

[violet bear]

Straight up socking it, and by it, let’s say my family

[floral mural]

its still kinda amusing that boot straps is beyond terrible and bull is quite solid

[vale shale]

last resort with tarots

like a money one because

[pale wolf]

I don't understand the issue

[floral mural]

bootstraps issue is the fact it requires obscene money to be on par with other mult scaling options

[pale wolf]

ooh

do you have a suit changer in your inventory

[acoustic kettle]

It can be solid by changing numbers

It's just terrible rn

[violet bear]

How would you buff bootstraps without breaking it in half

[tired kestrel]

no

[white zodiac]

you have fist is it that crippling

[violet bear]

I feel like its a very subtle line considering how strong bull is

[floral mural]

i wonder how viable a 3 mult per 5 dollars would be. like for holding 50 dollars thats 30 mult

[tired kestrel]

YEs i died

[floral mural]

thatd be aight

[white zodiac]

increase its numbers

[acoustic kettle]

i want bootstraps to be like bull also

[pale wolf]

make it 3 mult per $2

[white zodiac]

I uh

[acoustic kettle]

Per 5 dollars is such a hard threshold

Maybe per 1 or 2 dollars

[violet bear]

Yeah but by how much

[tired kestrel]

we're back the the usual i see

[violet bear]

I feel like 3 per 5 could still be kinda underwhelming but 4 for 5 is a really good rate

[violet bear]

continue

[pale wolf]

at 50 you get +75

[white zodiac]

10 mult per 10 dolla

[pale wolf]

That is a little overtuned

[white zodiac]

yeah

[violet bear]

Yeeeah 75 mult is a lot

[white zodiac]

throwing JJ in the pool drowning

[violet bear]

Maybe 2 per 2?

[pale wolf]

yea make it 100 mult per $100

[white zodiac]

fixed

[pale wolf]

then it'll really fit the theming

[violet bear]

Sick

[white zodiac]

🩹

[tired kestrel]

PLEASE, SAVE ME

DEAR FUCKING GOD

[violet bear]

I cast chicot

[pale wolf]

money!

[tired kestrel]

OH MY GOD

[pale wolf]

rest in peace

[violet bear]

F

[tired kestrel]

Please fucking god no plant

[floral mural]

1 mult per 2 dollars would work maybe.

[tawny bough]

ayeee i beat gold without asking for help a single time!!!

[white zodiac]

well

congrats

[pale wolf]

excellent

[tawny bough]

last night i was just rlly tired so i was making loads of bad choices

but today im actually thinking about all my choices

[white zodiac]

you actually kept trading card lmao

[vale mist]

I'm feelin good yay

this seed is unreal

[pale wolf]

I hope you're able to get that supernova scaled up enough

[tawny bough]

ofc i did its goated?

[white zodiac]

all of the jokers you have are goated

[pale wolf]

it is very good, it's just that its purpose sort of diminishes towards the end of a run

once you start seeing all of the cards you want to see every single round, you don't really need more card removal

[white zodiac]

burnt and trading card is kinda funny since you weren't really able to use both of your discard jokers

[tawny bough]

well i wasnt coming anywhere close to dying so i had no reason to kill it

[white zodiac]

in your run

[vale mist]

aiming for that with the burglar

[tired kestrel]

Idk if the ankh play was the way to go but we ball

[pale wolf]

just don't miss the copy

[floral mural]

tell me that stuntman aint your only chip source right now

[pale wolf]

A Q full house build

xd

[floral mural]

are you working on the pair levels since im seeing that perishable over there

[tired kestrel]

I take vagabond here yea?

I'm pretty certain but i'm STILL gonna double check

[pale wolf]

hmm

uncrop your screenshot

[white zodiac]

make an emote for those ppl

[pale wolf]

I think it might be the play?

[white zodiac]

uh

[pale wolf]

oh very yes

[white zodiac]

black deck I wouldn't dare

[unreal iron]

why are you a joker

[white zodiac]

to pick this up

[pale wolf]

oh what am I thinking yeah there's no room

[unreal iron]

why are you blue

[pale wolf]

I was thinking of the other supernova game

[unreal iron]

i always hated the color blue

[pale wolf]

anybody playing balatrobe is a joker

[raw loom]

Trying to build towards flushF/FOK but struggling with early game blinds

When do you guys typically start building towards it ?

[obsidian patrol]

What is wrong with you why are you blue

[white zodiac]

never really

[pale wolf]

fok?

lol

[obsidian patrol]

Uhh never

[tired kestrel]

Aight after opening the packs i have decided

[obsidian patrol]

Grab dat certificate

[floral mural]

when the run gives the tools and incentives for it

[white zodiac]

oh you took it

[unreal iron]

5oak?

dont

[floral mural]

forcing strats usually leads to death

[tired kestrel]

Should i tho? i really heavily rely on drawing my face cards

[pale wolf]

foak definitely only represents one hand right guys
anyways no I don't really aim for matching five ranks together

[unreal iron]

go for 4oak its strong enough

[floral mural]

also even 4 of a kind shouldnt be your aim every run

[white zodiac]

unless you're on maybe abandoned deck

but yeah

[tired kestrel]

Nvm found chat

[pale wolf]

winrar

[raw loom]

I tried doing other hands since I found myself overwhelmingly leaning towards straights

[violet bear]

Always take the vagabond (not biased™)

[pale wolf]

why is there an Ohio license plate in front of me

it looks like dusk

[white zodiac]

I wouldn't be surprised from where you live

ohh

[violet bear]

mmmm shiny

[unreal iron]

i dont understand why are you blue

[violet bear]

hallucination value

[unreal iron]

😔

[tawny bough]

nom

[unreal iron]

nom

[white zodiac]

that shitty thing is bugged btw (doesn't actually give seals)

[tired kestrel]

Should i unlock 5oak?

#🕹・game-discussion message

[violet bear]

this voucher isnt real

[acoustic kettle]

Change flush to foas

Five of a suit

[floral mural]

honestly youre gonna hate my answer but you might wanna do pairs until you find something better on a run

[unreal iron]

wow

insane

[floral mural]

pairs have a lot of jokers that work for them so finding something for them is easy

[tawny bough]

bruh also its goated with the card scaling joker

xmult one

[white zodiac]

but it also doesn't do anything notably special lol

[pale wolf]

illusion? it makes the cards cost more, kind of a downgrade

[tawny bough]

no holo

[white zodiac]

6 dollars for an editioned card btw

[floral mural]

a voucher being only ever good with a specific joker means its not worth at all

usually

[tawny bough]

it is completeeeee!!!!

[floral mural]

and is in fact bad

[austere walrus]

what does suipernova does

whouldi buy it

otr ass

?

[pale wolf]

bruh

[tawny bough]

now time for black white

[austere walrus]

help

[acoustic kettle]

White deck black stake

[white zodiac]

erm this is an english server

[pale wolf]

🦓

[floral mural]

magic trick and planet merchant are basically never good unless you have their corresponding xmult joker usually

[austere walrus]

ik

i not nastive english man

waht supernova do

pals help

[white zodiac]

pals

[floral mural]

supernova gives mult equqls to the number of times you played the hand played in a run

[violet bear]

okay wait this is actually kinda hard. Cert over hallu or not, ive already got a blue seal. Thinking not but purple seals and another blue are great

[vale mist]

I might be boned by the eye

[floral mural]

its used for pair spam mostly and sometimes as backup flat mult in a pinch

[austere walrus]

that make no sence

[austere walrus]

ok

i spam

pare then

[violet bear]

average eye kill

[floral mural]

its good but has weaknesses

[hardy fable]

yippe my wifis back

[vale mist]

I sell card sharp?

[acoustic kettle]

Obviously buy cola and sell brainstorm for double tag

[violet bear]

real

[white zodiac]

classic nova encounter

[austere walrus]

bro i lost ;-;

[languid heron]

Þe gangs all here

[austere walrus]

@languid heron how do u get fancy carsw i get common only :<

cards*

[vale mist]

OH SHIII WE OUT WITH A LUCKY HIT

aaaaaaaaaaand of course the plant shows itself

[languid heron]

Rip

[vale mist]

my luck karma's pulling all the boomerangs

[pale wolf]

tbh i like killing chaos

most of the time im only buying and selling chaos for the 1 free reroll

[lunar zealot]

plant literally does nothing to hurt you here

you beat the only boss blind that could kill you

[obsidian patrol]

Plant does not do anything to you

[white zodiac]

unless somehow your only chip source crutch comes from the scawy

[obsidian patrol]

even then its foil

[pale wolf]

I'm not even sure it's possible with the supernova and the scoring they just got with only + 20

[white zodiac]

idk his scoring situation

@pale wolf

[pale wolf]

I fucking knew

[tired kestrel]

I FUCKING HATE TIHS GMAE

[pale wolf]

agate seems fun 🙂

[vale mist]

I may have exaggerated the plant threat yeah

we also got mr bones so we ball

[white zodiac]

everyone does

[viral raft]

-> Play only faces
-> dies because his own fault by playing literally only faces
-> I FUCKING HATE THIS GAME

[pale wolf]

no glas

[tired kestrel]

I literally didn't have anything else i could've played

[viral raft]

glasses

[tired kestrel]

No glas

[viral raft]

or have extra xmult and lecel up planets

something that i do to survive if the game forces me to play faces is having xmult and search planets

so i can won not because only faces, also i won by the xmult itself

[tired kestrel]

Something that i do to survive is play the game well thats crazy

thanks real helpful

[vale mist]

hoowee

[coral hill]

Golden needle was brutal

[viral raft]

just don't depend around one strat lol

[vale mist]

oh hi antimatter

[tired kestrel]

YES I AM AWARE

[viral raft]

so

[vale mist]

oh this seed is crazy

[acoustic kettle]

Playing well does not mean playing faces

[pale wolf]

see just play like this instead

[viral raft]

exactly

[pale wolf]

simply get different jokers

[tired kestrel]

Dude i know

[viral raft]

when the game forces me to play faces i'll just search planet or xmult

[white zodiac]

simply play

[floral mural]

most face card jokers are either not good past early antes are econ you can miss for a round or can be substituted with glass

[violet bear]

I ended up skipping but died to the eye anyways

[floral mural]

scary face and smiley face are both early game scoring options and not great past that

[viral raft]

the only reason to play faces imo is for endless mode (one of the most useless thing on balatro), econ or maybe easy ahh build (photochad, triboulet, sock and buskin)

[tired kestrel]

this game is trolling

[viral raft]

4$ take it or leave it

[tired kestrel]

this game is genuinely trolling

[floral mural]

also if i run shoot the moon one joker slot is gonna go for another flat mult option

[white zodiac]

oh wait you're the double trib dude

[viral raft]

also don't skip blinds lol

[white zodiac]

me when my actions have consequences

[tired kestrel]

It's the first blind on black deck dog

[viral raft]

and?

[white zodiac]

skipping on black is an absolute death sentence early

[tired kestrel]

You get literally no cash

[viral raft]

better than nothing

and skip tags are mostly nothing

[signal frigate]

Hand money is hand money.

That's interest

[viral raft]

yep

[floral mural]

but you can get scoring or econ from the buffoon pack after ante 1 small blind

[signal frigate]

The one tag you'd wanna skip ante 1 is investment tag

[tired kestrel]

yeah and so is a rare joker

even if it's just to sell

[signal frigate]

And MAYYYYYBE Coupon

[coral hill]

I don’t like this challenge and I’m happy that challenges aren’t required for c++ for this reason

[white zodiac]

and even then you have to skip those on black for certain occasions

[proper turtle]

anaglyph green stake, is this deck easy or what because I'm still not able to get green stake on nebula, ghost, abandoned, checkered, painted

[floral mural]

joker skips are lowkey the worst skips btw if you wanna win

[willow frost]

yeah this is deck

[viral raft]

i mean yeah, but what if the rare is rental or eternal, you basically lost money

[white zodiac]

you miss out shop opportunity

[pale wolf]

The issue with small blind investment tag skip on black deck is that then you have to beat the big blind without Jokers

[signal frigate]

Missing out on 3 dollars is kind of a bad thing on Black Deck

[floral mural]

least consistent reward and terrible price

[tired kestrel]

ooo yea theres so much i can buy with my 4 bucks in the first shop

[signal frigate]

Ante 1 isn't so bad tbh

[white zodiac]

one less shop to prepare for boss blind (hook/manacle)

[floral mural]

the 2 common joker tag is better than a rare tag lol

[viral raft]

if you play around not being consistent not wait for good things

[proper turtle]

lol forgot the easy there

[viral raft]

that's why skip tags sucks

[tawny bough]

me with gold stake on ghost day 6 of starting the game and i did the gold run without asking for help :D(thats why im the goat)

[white zodiac]

buffoon pack is always affordable first shop

[floral mural]

the first shop buffoon pack exists tho?

[signal frigate]

Mega Buffon is way better

2 jokers have the same value as a rare

If we're not going into specifics

[white zodiac]

huh

[viral raft]

in shop 1 always appears a buffon pack 4$, that's 2 random jokers that you can choose, imo is better than a rare tag just because you have options

options= consistency

[coral hill]

Save me riff raff

[signal frigate]

And usually those two jokers just carries your early game but you're skipping for them which is the problem

[vale mist]

what a crazy series of events but ayy we got there

[coral hill]

Riff radf

Save me

[tired kestrel]

yeah but id still rather go for a skip that'll get me money long term or just in general

[white zodiac]

skipping aside, rare jokers are the worst subset of jokers to get in the first ante (no flat mult rares)

[signal frigate]

You get the money for it and 2 joker options

Playing the round is always consistently better

[vale mist]

seed is 39XSZ8XV

[white zodiac]

it's the definitive worst option to go for regardless.

[viral raft]

eternal and rental jokers

[white zodiac]

one less shop

[signal frigate]

You're building up a bad habit

[vale mist]

yay

[white zodiac]

one less round for prep

[signal frigate]

Skip tags progressively get worse the more you climb stakes

[white zodiac]

faster blind scaling

[tired kestrel]

bruh i am aware that it's usually bad i'm only doing this for black deck

[viral raft]

basically you're playing "hit the ante 1 or i bascially lost all my money" type of strat

just try to being consistent

[white zodiac]

the one deck you shouldn't do this on ever

[signal frigate]

I think that's worse

[tired kestrel]

There ain't no being consistant on black deck rn

[signal frigate]

Skipping on Black Deck is ass

[viral raft]

econ jokers and trying to one shot

lol

[signal frigate]

HUGE skill issue but nothing you can't improve on

[white zodiac]

in a 3 win streak on black rn

5 pb

[floral mural]

the smart option here is the buffoon pack. the funny option is the spectral pack

[white zodiac]

it's all about rng reliance removal

[signal frigate]

Go for the funny

[floral mural]

i kinda wanna do spectral but i knkw buffon is better

[viral raft]

ngl i suck at black deck but not because of that i need to play RNG

[signal frigate]

But imagine the immolate

[white zodiac]

eek

[tired kestrel]

ah yes let me buy the econ joker that doesn't exist

[floral mural]

im taking spectral and acknowledging its the worse idea here

[proper turtle]

cavendish for the duo? supernova is 32

[white zodiac]

how would you know, you skipped a blind

[tired kestrel]

1 blind bruh

[viral raft]

DAMN

[tired kestrel]

And it's the first

[floral mural]

yeah thats fair game

[coral hill]

I think black deck in particular is hard on gold stake because the optimal way to play gold stake is to pair spam and scale jonklers like green, supernova, square, etc.

[signal frigate]

If it weren't for Baseball card, I would tell you to sell card sharp

[pale wolf]

I mean to be fair, you mess out on seeing the last shop of the ante, not the first

[coral hill]

Black deck makes this harder

You sort of have to one hit ko each blind

[signal frigate]

You didn't gamble hard enough

[coral hill]

Which is hard with the ramping score

[viral raft]

Spectrals suck ahh ngl, half of them are good but the other half just works in ante 1-3

[floral mural]

going with grim there because sigil is terrible

[twin lantern]

would you click it

[willow frost]

take out the supernova

[white zodiac]

@pale wolf this is how I felt when they asked why I was playing on a tv

[twin lantern]

invisible is 2/2

[willow frost]

just sell it lmfao

[twin lantern]

not worth risk i think i can clear without double negative eh

[obsidian patrol]

depends on hand you're playing and i would use the invis first

[vale mist]

doesn't negative invis do nothing tho

[twin lantern]

ahhhh

right forgot

[viral raft]

why do you have 70$ and only 2 jokers?

[twin lantern]

truee

[willow frost]

it can give you 6/5 jokers

[obsidian patrol]

It can give you 6/5 joker slots

[signal frigate]

You paid for the pack, you are using that pacm

[willow frost]

but i dont think its hitting campfire if that happens

[vale mist]

right only when full right

[white zodiac]

prevents you from taking more negatives upon selling invis

[willow frost]

campfire

[signal frigate]

It essentially locks you out of another joker unless you can sell it

[viral raft]

still weird but cool

[twin lantern]

i just sold rest before selling invis to copy campfire, but then look oh spectral lets see inside

[vale mist]

what a funky mechanic lol

[willow frost]

yee

[signal frigate]

You got mad Purple seals?

[viral raft]

oh ok

[twin lantern]

nope eh

[vale mist]

negative invis should carry over fr

[signal frigate]

Campfire loves purples

[past nebula]

Joy

Got nat polychrome stencil, then found anhk and later ghost joker.

Then went crazy with that and baseball

[signal frigate]

I just riddle my deck with purple seal on Campfire runs

[signal frigate]

I forgot Stencil is Uncommon

[past nebula]

Ye...

For uncommong its very good (same as a lot of other uncommons)

[signal frigate]

I dunno why my mind thought it was Rare

It just seemed like it'd be a rare joker

But it would probably be a bad rare lol

[past nebula]

Yeah, since how powerful it can be

[white zodiac]

oh yeah

[flat rock]

Magic deck gold stake done
Sorry for doubting you triboulet

when the worst is an

A-

[signal frigate]

The worst Legendary is still a legendary

[white zodiac]

not like you're playing the game with asian parents

[floral mural]

actually an interesting choice here

thinning the deck which is generally good or the 6 bucks to refund the pack basically

[signal frigate]

You getting oops all perishable'd?

[floral mural]

im fine currently since lusty and drunkard aren't that terrible to replace

[signal frigate]

Yeah but that's usually not a good sign

Your shops could be cursed

[vale mist]

rather oops all perishabled than oops all rentaled

[signal frigate]

I've had gold stake runs where almost all jokers I rolled is perishable

[signal frigate]

I'd disagree actually because I can actually fucking use the jokers

[acoustic kettle]

Oops all eternal

[signal frigate]

Perishables are the worst when they're on a really really good joker that you wanna use till ante 8

[vale mist]

the humble eternal rental

[signal frigate]

Eternal is rarely a problem and Rental can be worked around

[white zodiac]

still works

[acoustic kettle]

All eternal but joker drop rates changes each ante

Ante 1 all commons

Higher antes more rares show up

[signal frigate]

Jolly is just hanging around

Bro thinks he's part of the team
