If you only have one copy then you prioritise scoring before retriggers
i need to remove my polychrome cards lmao
Unless you're holding like glass
I would copy the tower and make disco rocks
Throwing the run but still fun
What you need is red seals
i mean, i have idol and no baron
maybe i can still play flush five instead 
my only read seal isn't polychrome
and it's also heart
I'm confused do you need polychrome or not
Ah
Real
But if you pivot to baron your edition doesn't matter?
Or would you rather want holographic
For the king you play
We won gg
66CPFV5C
How do you have the seed but haven't finished the run?
Wrong photo whoops
This is like 3 different builds in one line up
There was also a negative joker in ante 4 but i didn't risk it
*stencil
Do I take it
Damn straight

Using death to create more of the thing you're deathing is funny ngl
Buskin?
Yeah
How much do you need dna
do i sell or use, i need money for baron lmao
Sell
I kinda need a maxed out king since I donāt yet have one
4 dollars or a planet you can find and level from a celestial pack
How would dna help with that tho
Like once you find a good king you start copying it?
If you keep dna then nothings worth selling for buskin
Are you playing high card pivoting into baron when it shows up?
Buskin isn't needed then
Alright thanks
Just pray you find baron before dying lol
i'm gonna death harder for now
You have to be jokingā¦
Take chad
I need better scoring
I'm deathing it sooo good rn
22 more chips wonāt make a difference
I Donāt have anything extra from triggering
6/7
The moment you find a when scored joker then chad will carry
chad
Its ante 1 bro
Round 1
Photograph is the worse choice here
Weāre so not serious how do I just now get antimatter
heās gonna play 4 high cards 
You know what sure Iāll take it, my first arcana pack I took a star
Just so I can have a suit preference for the time being
Got a straight flush on the club and then it popped up
Next shop had a wheel
Should I dna the red seal steal or polychrome
RED SEAL
I call this not knowing what on earth is going on.
showman moment
How does your deck look like that when Iām past you and mine still looks like a toddler made itšŖ
I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Just to see if I can get duplicates of a good joker while I wait for something else
we found a bloodstone fan 
Showman is first on the hit list when I find something better
But until then heās here to party
Well showman dies
Actually I might get rid of banner, I think Iām fine keeping showman for now
I just wanna see if I can pop off
Itās a risk but itās one Iām willing to take
Guys on plasma goldstake
Is it like better to try get both ur chips and mult high
Or focus heavily on one or the other
what deck could i even do with this joker
ideally the play is to pivot from chips to solely mult
Iām saved š„ŗ
What if i got two of the same scaling chip joker
Guaranteed to hit Constellation if I sell out since the brainstorm is foil
I've got good levels in flush as well since this is checkered.
Barely any deck fixing and I haven't met Head or Goad yet :P
Aka castle
Should i still try move onto mult, i did just get a rental holo in shop so i might move to that
Ecto or temperance
Temp
that could work, 2 runners could do it, 2 castle maybe with extra help, and wee solos
Yeah
Are u asking what kind of run fits a vagabond?
So keep them yeah?
it just seems so goofy to play
If ecto hits seltzer it just ends up hurting me with no lasting benefit
but that isnt really consistent, but if you want to just win once, you can do that
I did get the voucher for +1discars
like am i supposed to be constantly below 4 money?
So thats helping a lot
Yeah
so how am i supposed to do anything
It works well with stuff like drivers license, fortune teller
like buy jokers and stuff
Yeah, just hold 1 temperance or 1 hermit until after the round and then use the card after you win
Theres jokers that give u money at the end of the round
you get tarots, one of them gives jokers, 3 of them produces money
Just buy as much as u can in shop
But yes, stay below $4 during the round and then go above 4 after the round lol
A lot of things are goofy to play
Burglar ends up with pretty goofy runs in my experience
I love burglar tho
burglar is rlly good with ride the bus
oh shit
At this rate do I just sell showman and judgement
Yes and loyalty card too
Do I take selt here
2 tarots per hand, seems okay i think
How good are u scoring rn cause like
I dont see a point, since it dissapears in 10 rounds anyway
It wont be a permanent help to ur run
2 perkeos
SELLING SHOWMAN AND USING JUDGEMENT WAS THE RIGHT MOVE LETS FREAKING GOOOOK

PHOTOCHAD
Iām scoring +12 e from a level 2 high card
And I already passed plant as well š„²
Blessed run
This boss blind is mark but Iām playing flushes I can sort by suit
Ok yeah probably.take it
Lucky
U wont get through the next ante without it right
Iāve been slaving away looking for one
selling perkeo always breaks something inside me
So do I try and make an effort for drivers liscence?
it didn't even survive one round
Seltzer has 1 hand left
How far are you from activating it?
16 cards away š
I have no enhancements
in Ante 6? I wouldn't bother
Got an Ante 1 invisible joker
All 5 of these are good
ā¦okay, so I MAYBE could theoretically try to get Wee Joker copied here with Ankh.
Any thoughts?
The best odds you can get are 50/50
Since you canāt sell half
Trueā¦
And if it does end up being half I would just press new run
And to be honest Iām not sure Iām done with chad
Eeeh, if it was plasma deck i'd do it, probably not for Ghost
do i need to place baron at a specific place for max Again!ing
Iām considering selling golden for space joker
Because I have gold seals
ā¦and hanging chad
Copy baron once and mime once
so this
yes
Is a rental golden joker ever worth it?
are you okay with 1$ a round at the expense of a joker slot
Gimme the seed
after i die?
It's the usual advice, to have an equal numbers of Baron+Procs
0 upon purchase, lower upon interest cut, 1 after two rounds at best
yeah
The run just got more cracked
Yup
me personally nah
Early game
No money
(Almost) empty joker slots
I was more interested in the interest angle
Whatās the best seed
I might consider c9 rental eternal when above interest cap
Iāll wait š¼
Face cards
Yawn
I almost always avoid rental cards unless it's something that could make my build
Besides like
Yupp
When they're something you sell almost immediately anyways
this one 
Someone doesnt like to live dangerously it seems
Sad
I've had too many runs messed up by rentals eating away my econ
This ipad?
And how exactly does a human being like myself play this
A bit late for that, but cool!
foldable
I mean I do this for hologram right?
keyboard
8 letters
Theres still time to restart the game and forget about this seed
Bruh
I donāt wanna forget this
This is amazing
The hologram is negative
I can buy it
I donāt understand
I ā„ļø cavendish
I can tell
Anyways score predictions
Letās see em closest guess wins
Fortune teller at +25, hologram at x1.75
As a decorated veteran balatro player, i've come to grow weary of face card strats
I find solace in numbers
U should move one like i did lil bro
do i continue making 300 bucks a round or take a showman
i score e32 btw, score can wait
hell yeah
I took photograph because plant had already passed, I took sock and buskin since I already had photograph
i would keep the econ rising tbh
idk about perkeo too since i don't even have telescope
Itās fine to go for face cards when plant isnāt a problem and also the mark is a pushover since I donāt need to know what face card it is just that it is a face card and that it is a diamond (Which I can find if I sort by suit and have a single numerical club or ace of diamonds)
do i keep it to make negative plutos later
U always have a choice
U can choose to break the cycle
And move to greener pastures
U can do it
I believe š
or just throw after finishing deck fixing for showman instead
Ok holy shit im one round away from the final boss
I lost the run
Im getting 150k a hand, but i have mr bones so if i continue i will 100% win plasma goldstake
But
I hot a soul card
i didnāt get the memo 
Now im thinking do i risk selling abstract and getting x30 mult than x75
For the gold sticker
Is ur nametag related to puerperium per chance?
i think bro likes stm
wild guess tho
hell yea
#š¹ć»game-discussion message
sometimes you have to get go of your goat ticket
Ur almost there
Nirvana is within reach
Stay strong
I did the calculations and
Selling abtstract for soul barely changes anything for me
Im on plasma so it only makes me get like -30k a gand
IM SO HAPPY
And mr bones makes it so i only need 200k
This completely disregards multiple jokers including:
Scary Face
Pareidolia
Business Card
Baron
Midas Mask
Photograph
Reserved Parking
Smiley Face
Sock and Buskin
Hit the Road
Shoot the Moon
Canio
Triboulet
Refusing to do face cards builds almost completely neglects 13 jokers, 2 of which are legendary.
1/3 OF JOKERS GOLD STICKERED FOR C++ AND BLACK DECK GOLD STAKE
I GOT OVER 800K
MR BONES AND TRIBOULET GOLD STICKER
LETS FUCKIN GOOO
Aahhhh
no i meant i just beat black deck gold stake and i wanted to include it in the message
Got lucky with getting stuntman
this is so nice to see holy shit
oh ok
Never said it would be easy
Its tempting, gosh knows i know
But if u dont wanna settle for easy noob strats and take ur prowess to greater heights, u know what u gotta do frend
why wouldnt you take it
yeah
can you help me out bro
im so lost with this deck
.
i mean what even is going on here lol
im trying to get fortune teller rn for mult
basically just infinite tarots
because of vagabond
Blue Stake Pulverized!
brainstorm just gives me more tarots or mult or money depending on what i consider i need
money
upgrading score and lose economy looks like a bad idea
the goal is make money
i spend 300+ bucks for nothing every round
I could've gone further with hack š
aside a few plutos
I wonder what hand type I love
Neg faceless is crazy good
Holy
it's nothing
HUSKER PFP!?
you made steels way too early
the mail gives 5x3 (2 copies)x5 (discards) every round
yes
HUSKER PFP!?!?!!?!?!??!
It's like a wild PokƩmon encounter
Lmao yass
Have u watched episode 6 yett!
Yessssss, I have
Huskers playing balatro irl lol
Whueheuehehee
Yeah you've got death
and 37 cards, it's big
Woah maybe get some strength and find seance XD
the nat negative seance woulda been actually helpful
gold cards
nah
Yh i remember when i first started playing balatro and had no idea what i was doing
Thanks for the trip down memory lane
Hey tbf
hi
Flushes arent THAT bad
theyre a little past "first started playing"
300 over 300 is an unreasonable amount for anyone
Pairs are obv better but still
I like my flushes
Also blame the fact that checkered was my first deck I gold staked
Mine was two pair until I did checkered deck lol
Flushes are easy on checkered but theyre only semi reliable on others
Ive had so many timrs where i have a flush build and the game fucka me over
3 discards and not a single of my syit
Suit
Myne was yellow but then i skipped to painted nebula and black
I just finished plasma thankfully
Iām thinking about doing plasma next for gold stake
uh oh
Its rlly hard.
Iāll need to get used to spectral cards not being in shop
So booted up the game on mobile for the first time in months. Restarted a few times and...well now I'm here
Soul on Ante 2 (?), Invis in Shop then Brainstorm in I think Ante 5 reroll
Not sure what to do...
Id sell the photo ngl
Photo is basically slightly weaker trib
WOAH
I need to fish for Sock
What does sock do again
Retrigger all face cards
Oh thar sock
and buskin
Sorry i dont know all the like short terms for jokers
buskin for that sock
I easily forget names š
the only ones i dont know are a few first pagers
Theyre so mid ngl
On plasma theyre good for early ante but other than.that basically useless
the ones i can name are decent
if i destroy gros michel using hex does it count towards getting cavendish?
Im talking about the like hand specific ones
+mult for pair and two pair are kinda banger thoughh
same
or does it need to destroy itself for cavendish to appear
jolly, sly, crafty, mad are epic
nah it specifically has to go "extinct!"
How r they epicc
i see thanks
np
yea this
they are substance for the two of the most versatile poker hands
wily 
mad is 2pair mult?
only know that one cuz it was the last sticker
how come lol
i wouldnt have expected it to be a first page joker
it probably wasnt a more difficult sticker last bc i was very intentional with my stickering
but the front pagers lasted a long time for me
you usually get those as free negatives no
first page was my first fully stickered one i think lol
games donāt really allow you to do that as freely
intentionally stickering harder jokers makes sense to end up having something like mad as the last sticker
i was left with 18 billion uncommons at the end lol
shortcut being my second to last sticker is weird tho
i got lucky with stickering them though so its ok
Oh... yeah...thanks jimbo?
that is weird
should i take faceless?
FINALLYYYY
id drop parei for rebate
2 legendary jokersšØ
igh thx
Is zodiac deck good?
certing my ificate all over the screen
actuall yi think i lose next round if i dont hold bones
g e
yeah its pretty good even on gold stake. relatively inconsistent but more frequent highs than something like ghost deck
should i start copying chariot with perkeo and bp?
i have steel joker
so i could just make everything steel
NO MAN

You got 2 blueprints you couldnāt buy on shop 1ā¦
š
game wants you dead
I have baseball card, throwback, blueprint, invisible, polychrome, and a negative, I failed to meet even 50% of the requirement for SMALL BLIND 5
Im just thinking balatros kinda interesting cause its literally a roguelike abstacted down to its fundamentals and given a vague poker vibe. Like normally in a roguelike your like achieving something in game like killing enemies or something like that but balatro your just overcoming a number by creating a bigger number which is created by multiplying 2 numbers together that dont mean anything. You then buy jokers which while technically related to a deck of cards are basically just things that give you higher numbers in various ways etc. Like theres no dressing it up as something else its literally just playing around with numbers
do i sell card sharp?
sorry hun they're just not that good
I would say maybe swashbuckler
this is what happens when you have like no actual base scoring

is telescope on straights
Yes, Galileo was straight you can blame him for telescopes
Obelisk is kinda annoying so i could see you actively avoidimg it i dont blame you but campfire is really good what
campfire need a decent bit of econ
it's satire
or seals
god i love white stake
actually my feelings on them are sort of the opposite, but for both of them it's just a statistical anomaly that I didn't have a good run with them until the end of my stickering
True but if you have money it cooks
simply ignore the restrictions
(then econ in question being 25$ saved up)
obelisk is always a free win
obelisk needs unconditional scoring

obelisk more like obeshit
sure if you get it ante 6 with level 20 pairs itās not gonna work
give me my idol š¤
if you get it before ante 4 its won
it just depends on the build you have
āobeliskā more like āa joker that wins runs but people irrationally hateā
I started scaling it at the end of ante 2
campfire is more general
Idk about free it takes some thinking to use right plus certianly not always. A lot of the time its too late to pivot and youll just die trying
obelisk early 
multiplayer arc
looks inside
likes obelisk
well i still never take it because itās not very good in multiplayer
What if
but iām playing regular balatro again recently
I wish man
thatās why i have double oops spaceman run going 
this is why obelisk is worse than campfire
oopsman is a fun combo
campfire the goat fr
oops man with 2 oops omg itās awesome
i ankhed my pops
oops
Oops all space
pops
campfire sitting freely in the top 5 but obby licks cant barely get above top 10, so bad
Yeah obelisk early would be really good. Its somehow never happened to me yet though
spaceman obelisk synergy /s
iām not taking it tho even if itās like kind of maybe decent for this build
photo has been pushed out
9 unconditional scoring jokers 
Half is conditional
xd
xdult
blue metobelisk
I mean like
on joker score
If you get it early you can just go 3 of a kind or pair and it carries you. You get it later its not that good
i think perhaps my favorite thing in this game is when your econ purely comes from lucky card hits
i could use 50g of ptadalafyl
I mean I wasn't making a statement on The viability of it, just that the condition for scoring it exists
joker ??
poker.
I think half is fine, it has a lot of merit as something that lets you dig in your deck without overscoring
it can be toggled on or off that's cool
Oh i didnt see the 9 unconditional scoring jokers comment somehow my bad
is that a dinosaur
Yippe, free run once I get x mult
miss pringle
Mr pringle's wife
have you ever seen amber acorn shuffling just two jokers
like i saw that and like, when it was done shuffling. THEY WERE IN THE SAME PLACE as they were before the shuffling
good luck
there's no Bean
aw beans
I mean it is possible but you don't have a ton of money
tyty its custom
im so upset lol
retcon showed up on ante 17
when if it came on ante 16 i could have bean bugged
but we still okay i think :p
beag
I mean if you get petroglyph ante 17 You could have done bean bug twice in a row
will bean bug be patched
I assume it will
golden joker 3 times in a row
no tarot voucher too, it's gonna bean fr
if it comes with fixing glass joker ill take it
i mean its just a fun bug
yk?
yeah
naur only played face cards
no
what do you mean in hand
Damn
only played and scored
I have the queen
Lmao
socking my busking
honestly sock and hack would be really strong if they had mime functionality
it would make mime less unique
basically seesms if your blue gold cards are face cards or low cards
you can pick between mime and sock/hack
whereas if you get blue 6-10 or ace only mime will do anything
what?
retrigger held in hand effects
What can I change
Knowing that get good money
And also the other card is a polychrome scary face
wait what do u wanna copy
might as well maybe u can go for diamong flush 5
Thatās what am doing
Each 2 first hand get me around 20$ each š¤
However I still need to make them all a single suit
whats ur deck comp
there should be a rare retrigger joker for 6789 that does held in hand effects
Didnāt even mean to get this lmao
as well as scoring effects
this is an actually good one
Acrobate on last hand
but maybe 7-10 because those are fs the worst
Maybe I can get the planet for this one
Thatās pretty much it
All the other cards are money only lol
no which card lol
Diamond
Still converting the other cards
,,,,,,,
Absolutely abysmal Buffon ppack
I have some glass, some bonus and some mults at this point
champfire for the heavyweight champ
campfire
Glazers

ok glass is one reason to take DNA
in that level of econ yeah
hallucination could be money
-4$ on ante 4 is precarious
so is
not being 4 dollars under broke status
slightly
huh
W OR L
inbisibo isgood
chat how long until he sees it
yeah xD
im a balatro player ofc i dont read or know anything about balatro
obv wouldnāt work in the real game but would be fun and cool fs
relatable
I don't want the brainrot numbers to get a retrigger
67 joker retriggers 67

not a clue
NOBODY MOVE
because u may retrigger cards
I CAN STICKER TRIB
itās cause they are meta 
how are they meta
in multiplayer
snore
retrigger deez
oh. ok
Some mischievous chatter is probably praying for plant rn
already passed it
is it called the plant because plants dont have faces
itās like an industry plant
or like someone planted to usurp the kingdom or something
idk
no its because the symbol looks like a plant
its plant because you faceplant straight into it
oh yea lwk faceplant makes most sense
wait i never noticed wtf
oh yesssss
whats facemark then
patrick i swear to god
i would send a markiplier gif if i could
i got 3 beans at ante 17 lmao
canio goes for trading card again
if canio gave less than x1 per destroyed card it would legitimately be worse than erosion
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1415780753735680151 collect ny shggrsutibs
The fist one?
lets make 0.1x
Have you considered being good at the game
no actually
Wouldn't fit the theming
Fair enough
ok whatever buddy
Canio was a fictional jester who murdered his wife and her secret lover
ok and Im supposed to agree with a fucking killer?
pog rebate stickered
were supposed to be better than thatā¦.
Yorick caused everyone to die at the end of hamlet
what no he didnt
yorick is a fat chud
wasnt he dead
Chicot was a renowned army veteran
thats why I love him
Perkeo killed grapes with his rampant alcoholism
trib is terrible but its soooooooooo fun
Because he was an alcoholic
He thinks The Hermit is actually a Guinness
Canio is terrible and not fun
canio is really good and not fun
like atleast yorick is good and not fun
trib>perkeo>yorick>canio>chicot for fun-ness
Canio is yorick but he trades reliability for speed
chicot is great but GOD is he boring
"yeah so i dont really do anything besides act like a luchador permanently"
i dont like unreliable jokers is why we effing hate bloodstone and misprint
booorinngggg
but canio is still fair xmult
You see the thing is
Canio's unreliabiliry can be countered with econ
canio is reliable you need to find 1 tarot card
only meed 1 hanged man for x3
and he's alreaady x3
doesnt change the fact destroying cards is hard alot of the time
thats why trading card is le goat
Yeah
Madness runs are good for the soul
You're in superposition between correct and incorrect
is the situation at hand a comparison between legendaries
This run was fun asf lol too bad I biffed it
canio is actually terrible because he has a restraining order against all hung men which is why you can't ever find them in canio runs
This pack sucks
Red Card
red card
spare trousers is actually goated
I knew it
"this pack sucks"
looks inside
reliable scoring
good afternoon balatronians
I hate showman
also, showman is funny
new best!
Showman is jokes lol
get showman so you can get a second red card š
š„šŖŖ
showman is good for deep runs imo
Showman
showman is one of my remaining stickers
Bbc
Get showman for that 2nd showman
For 2x the showman perk
most endless runs aren't going to be on black deck
oh
so idk if that's an actual scenario here
he's basically detrimental unless you're in an insane pace
i see
me with a canio: finally a hung man!
what the king of clubs and jack of diamonds see 2 seconds later:
Iām going to kill my self
black deck moment
bro lost on black deck
do i take this voucher (so it doesn't reappear)
what is this supposed to be
if this is what hell looks like im
not ready yet
well here we go if i die i die
afterlife
i have 6 handsize rn
BEAN
Why are you fill ante skipping
bean bug pog
juggle tag helps tho
because im dead if i dont?
this restored my will to live
š
anyway ill update yall if bean bug keeps me alive
i got 6 handsize from 2 ectos
but i got a juggle tag + bean bug
so theres a chance if it hits bean enough
i believe in you
i have wrote 18 seal ideas yayyy
i mean ive already gotten an ante 39 bean bug run before
but i wanted to do it again lol
pick a number between 1-18
7
19
and i'll send one with said number
These tags suck
wth we skipping for rare and uncommon tags
ESPECIALLY on black deck
š
Trans Seal (WOKE)
This seal turns into a random seal when rank or suit of this card is changed
(It keeps this ability)
will it copy perkeo lol
well 19 is actually a joker
okay so 6 hands in
not a seal
we've only hit once
AAAAAAHH
š
3rd worst hit
mime and baron being the worst
and perkeo being the next worst obv
it got copied twice this run
3 in 5 chance of not copying a copy joker.. not that horrible tbh
wasnt it 50/50
no it's 2/5
fr
don't worry
do i use the tarot and throw perkeo lol
perkeo is literally useless
yes lol
it doesnt have a use button
š you scumming that
also depends if you play high card or five of a kind
high card
who plays flush five with baron
got my eco back
now that's better
yea i'm uncooked
how many consumables
yikes
do i pivot into steel now? (ante 14, scoring a few e's above req.) im not sure but i dont want to do it too late
okay ngl this run might still have ante 39 potential
11 base handsize isnt great but im missing a handsize voucher
so its 12 handsize
with 4 copiers
- i can try to bean bug ante 32 again
179 card deck š¤¤
2 ectos like the one im doing rn
but i got the ectos later in the run compared to earlier
so bean bug hit more
= more handsize
uh whaddo i drop here
yea probably
mime
mime
also ur cooked u need dna lol
u cant naninf
not enough cards in deck
how come?
i needed the telescope+ for my consumables to give x1.5
ah i see
i score e41
i used a cola with voucher skip too
use all the planets š
rip
yes man it's doomed
is the heiroglyph always worth it btw
depends on the situation
i feel like i always win with it
best case most the time is going back an ante to scale stuff like grimbo/rtb or hologram
mhm
imo it's better on ante 10-11
dna omg
its better on any ante that have increments of 8
so u can abuse bean bug more
š
ngl i think ive taken hieroglyph like.. twice? in a real run
permenant handsize increase if crimson heart disables bean
and u go to main menu
and then go back into the game
also rq what do i drop here (no retcon for serpent cheese)
oh wow
š
for example
heres a run i used the bean bug to get to ante 39
i had 28 total handsize
ik it says 25 but i used 2 ectos
lol
nah i used voucher skips earlier in the run
what about handsize skips
nope
no handsize skips
also LOL
i accidentally just got so close to naninf
tfff
wait
is this unseeded too
how far off from naninf was that
can he save run lmao
yup
not as good as the other run
since i only have base 11 handsize
cuz bean bug only worked once
got unlucky
but im cooking
about 1.6e307
š
because if i do it will reset by best highscore
Genuine beauty
o
like ill still finish it lol
imma try to push it to ante 39
but ill need to bean bug on ante 32
otherwise i wont make it
I do this all the time
what do i drop here
Everyone I can't lie anymore, I was forced to love canio by a man pointing a gun to my head. Now he's forcing me to love Triboulet
its just i need to serpent farm for money
trib is like so peak
Real
I just don't play endless :P
if u can survive without serpent farming then its burglar
Fuck you too idol fuck you too..
im living by like several e's so
yeah i finished c++ and gold stake running like 3 days ago so i just wanted to play casually rn
and have some high score runs
then drop burglar for dna id say
i never done that
what should i switch out here?
imagine
i shall eat my words and lock in to shoot the moon
