[plucky bridge]

stone cards are pretty good for low card hands like high card and pairs

[jagged cliff]

make sure to not rip the ecto, you don't really wanna go down in handsize

[pure oasis]

yeah figured it too that now i don't need it so badly. Was just beating this ante Boss with one hand.

[jagged cliff]

If you get something like the bean bug, then it's no issue to use the ecto

so no harm in holding it

[pure oasis]

while creating two more of those Kings

[pure oasis]

You mean Turtle Bean

[jagged cliff]

theres is a known bug involving the turtle bean

[foggy quarry]

I love my stone card runs on plasma deck

[jagged cliff]

which can give you permanent + hand size

[manic talon]

Technically you dont need bean exactly, just any jokers that modifies your handsize

But bean is the best one

[pure oasis]

ah, yeah, i red about it, haven' tested it yet though

[foggy quarry]

I can’t believe your invisible hit

[jagged cliff]

if you get the chance its worth it for sure

[pure oasis]

lol, me neither. I was already preparing to sell another DNA

[manic talon]

You can even do it with -handsize joker, you just have to do it in the opposite way

[pure oasis]

yeah, let's hope it appears

[jagged cliff]

rooting for ya

[foggy quarry]

Yeah it works with stuntman doesn’t it

[pure oasis]

ah, haven't heard that one

[manic talon]

Stuntman, merry andy, juggler, etc

[foggy quarry]

Crimson bean runs are by far my favorite runs I’ve ever had

[manic talon]

You can also use both +handsize and -handsize to make the handsize increase even bigger, but it requires crimson heart to hit those 2 jokers right after another to actually get the value

[pure oasis]

get an another Invisible Joker? 😛

because the first one was so good

[foggy quarry]

Yeah I was trying to set that up, the sad thing was I actually saw a stuntman early in that run and saw the bean like 2 rounds early, can’t wait to get crimson bean more solidly

[pure oasis]

damn that turtle crimson is broken, seems a bug

crimson turtle or what it is called

[wicked sonnet]

hello

i'm in the middle of my first ever orange stake run

i have 3 polychrome blueprints

i have never been in this position before i'm gonna bottle it i know

[manic talon]

Crimson bean, you need to exit the run and resume to do it, its clearly one

[buoyant fog]

No skips btw

[manic talon]

Get a good joker to copy

[wicked sonnet]

yes that is my next goal

[buoyant fog]

I'm just trying to unlock the final 2 jokers I need and I got this insane run

[wicked sonnet]

i am on ante 5

$56 but a pretty bad deck build tbh

[late bay]

Man, feels like this was the gold stake I was on the longest. Thank goodness it’s finally over.

[foggy quarry]

Honestly I don’t skip very often either

[buoyant fog]

I do sometimes but I just thought the 2 natural polychromes was insane

[foggy quarry]

I have ptsd with that knife in the eternal knife challenge

[pure oasis]

well, there is the Turtle Bean

butt i guess, i'll keep on rolling

[gloomy swallow]

I added the jokers i have an orange sticker on the tierlist of the jokers i have gold stickers on based on how they helped at all

[pure oasis]

also the Merry Andy in same shop, lol

[jagged cliff]

Wait what, how does that work

[jagged cliff]

[pure oasis]

damn

[foggy quarry]

I think it’s because of how the crimson heart disables the jokers, it increases your hand size even more when the -hand size joker is disabled and the bean or any +handsize joker is enabled, because I’m fairly certain how the glitch works is based on your hand size on the left side and when you leave and come back in your cap hand size matches it

[manic talon]

If you use a positive handsize joker, you exit the run when its disabled, with negative handsize jokers you do it when its not disabled (otherwise youd get permanent handsize decrease)

Iirc

[pure oasis]

maybe four Kings per round is too much

[foggy quarry]

That’s right, I had it backwards

[cunning osprey]

Rate my setup guys

[foggy quarry]

Perfection

[manic talon]

Worse than 2 jimbos, 0/10

[jagged cliff]

ahhh, okay

[pure oasis]

i guess i sell another DNA

it is too alien

[jagged cliff]

why sell DNA

[trail forge]

Was nice to get a more unusual win that wasn't blueprint ancient chad
Two holographic stencils!

[jagged cliff]

But what about 5 poly stencils, new goal?

[pure oasis]

my thought process was that i am creating too many of those good kings in deck, there is still rubbish to delete and harder to get golden ones in hand to make money

[latent egret]

i had one like that on ghost (ofc) was decent fun

but the very next run i had nat neg perkeo so it faded in comparaison

[covert badge]

in a serious conundrum rn, do I take the ecto? I applied 2 ectoplasms already and redeemed the palette

[jagged cliff]

You can keep DNA and still not make it activate

Just play 2 cards

[latent egret]

makes dna necessary for 5oak

[pure oasis]

yeah, you are right

[ruby swift]

Abandoned deck done, (ghost and zodiac previously) which do u guys suggest next

[jagged cliff]

You can since you have DNA, that way you also keep on having glass

[covert badge]

gotcha thanks ❤️‍🩹

[jagged cliff]

Thats crazy 😭

[latent egret]

yea i only had like 80 hours at this time too

[jagged cliff]

Insanity

Bro got the golden run with only 80 hours

Godlatro must love you

[latent egret]

it was on a stupid deck like green stake anaglyph or smth like that

[jagged cliff]

Checks out, only good things happen on bad decks with dumb stakes

Got a really good trib run once on black stake checkered deck

[latent egret]

i also had a great trib run with nat neg luchador lmao

and the plant ante 9

on my first run of gold stake red deck

ive had some banger seeds, but never bothered to try naneinf

[jagged cliff]

I still really want to hit naneinf 😭

I keep getting real close with something like plasma baron mime

But then I either dont have retcon or im missing crucial other jokers

or vouchers

[blissful shard]

cerulean bell is so easy brah

[covert badge]

the end of a wild ride

[vale wharf]

People rate bull and bootstraps really low, but if you have both, they're definitely A tier

With an xmult, they're heavenly

[left juniper]

Show me these people

[latent egret]

bull is b tier i think, even by itself

[vale wharf]

Roffle rated them C 😭

[pure oasis]

do i still need the Brainstorm? 🙂

[jagged cliff]

yeah

kill one dna

take the bs

[pure oasis]

yup

it is dna if needed

[jagged cliff]

You need to get blank and antimatter so you can get the last copy joker needed

[left juniper]

People actually consistently rate Bull quite high. Bootstraps is worse but Bull is amazing

[cloud sinew]

which is fair for bootstraps

[cloud sinew]

over DNA at this point

brainstorm is a copy of DNA

[pure oasis]

yuh, [12.09]Munkki: it is dna if needed

and it was sort a inside joke. That's why there was a emoji in the end

[left juniper]

Also Roffles tier list video is from almost 18 months ago... we can probably assume his stance has changed by now

[vale wharf]

I agree bootstraps is worse, but both together is insane

[jagged cliff]

probs

[pure oasis]

well, now let's hope the Ret Con before it is too late

[left juniper]

Here's espaV's tier list. He's gotten a 40+ gold stake win streak on Yellow for reference - https://imgur.com/EcWPHwl

[jagged cliff]

make sure to take voucher skips if possible

[foggy quarry]

Honestly bull encourages such good money making jokers the synergy is so helpful

[pure oasis]

but one cannot skip the boss

[jagged cliff]

bloodstone in D hurts me 💔

[left juniper]

Bull gives a ridiculously good amount of chips

[jagged cliff]

[left juniper]

True. Should be lower

[jagged cliff]

WHAT

Leave

[obsidian patrol]

Potential Scoring

[left juniper]

Okie dokie 👋

[obsidian patrol]

0 out of 5 hits

[jagged cliff]

Its peak

The ultimate gamble

Will I win this blind by a mile or die with 10000 points missing

[pure oasis]

hmm, damn

[pure oasis]

what did you ment with voucher skip? Still beginner in this game

[jagged cliff]

you know the skiptags when skipping blinds

There is one which gives you an additional voucher in the next shop

[pure oasis]

yeah, ah ok. Forgot that completely

[jagged cliff]

it happens

[pure oasis]

yup, shit

[left juniper]

It gives a voucher in the NEXT shop. Important to remember. Unlike the regular voucher which stays the entire ante this one will not

[jagged cliff]

That is important to mention yeah

[pure oasis]

well, i have one Double Tag from selling the Diet Cola so i get three Vouchers at skip?

[jagged cliff]

you will get 2

[foggy quarry]

3 vouchers total in your ship yeah

*shop

[tiny nexus]

I literally just didnt find any xmult

Red card was at 93

[unreal iron]

oh

[tiny nexus]

Just couldn't score enough

[unreal iron]

damn that sucks

[pure oasis]

so the Double Tag isn't used in that skip at all?

[foggy quarry]

Those runs feel like the worst luck, just give me some xmult I’m not asking for much smh

[royal bobcat]

bull is great, bootstraps is garbage

[jagged cliff]

it is

[royal bobcat]

bootstraps A tier when it's the worst +mult option baffles me

[foggy quarry]

It is but it only adds one more voucher since you only have one double tag

[jagged cliff]

You have one double tag, you skip.
You will enter the next shop activating the voucher skip + the copied voucher skip

But if you skip the bossblind then yes, technically you have a shop with 3 vouchers

It add 2 to the existing one you get guaranteed

[brittle tendon]

Bro is that a skylanders quote?

[jagged cliff]

Skylanders mentioned yoo

Yeah it is

From my fav boy Pop Fizz

[brittle tendon]

Ye I remember that

Blast from the past I guess

[tiny nexus]

Shoutout to trigger happy

[brittle tendon]

I still have been looking to play spyro's adventure

I played giants, swap force, trap team and superchargers

[brittle tendon]

Stealth elf and roller brawler

[pure oasis]

but how can one skip the bossblind?

[brittle tendon]

My goats

[jagged cliff]

I meant big

[manic talon]

Your ass is on thin ice

[sharp falcon]

I just had double trib with like 10 red seal kings/queens and then got plant in like ante 6 I'm devastated

[pure oasis]

or was it just technically

[royal bobcat]

true, should be f tier

e is too nice

make it z tier

[left juniper]

This cuts me some slack right? #1425492022118187009 message

[floral mural]

when you gold 50 dollars with bull you get a respectable 100 chips. when you hold the same amount with bootstraps its 20 mult

boostraps is worse flash card almost always

[pure oasis]

oh, yes. I was thinking there is a way to skip it somehow

[royal bobcat]

the first one is great, the second one is so underwhelming i want to laugh

[floral mural]

and flash card is not the greatest

[jagged cliff]

You can emulate it, but that ruins the toys to life a little

[brittle tendon]

Bro just send it to hell where it belongs

[brittle tendon]

Ye I want to collect the first series of figures

I have some like slam bam and zap but it's still like a small collection

[pure oasis]

but yeah, when you skip big blind to boss you get 3 vouchers in the small blind, but is one of those copy of one of those two?

[manic talon]

Looks inside, nice

[jagged cliff]

Vinted is a really good place to search, that's where I got half of my collection

[floral mural]

flash card is usable by virtue of letting you spend your money but it aint that great

[pure oasis]

trying my best to understand this voucher skipping related to the Double Tag

[brittle tendon]

I've heard it's good, but I also saw Silent Hill 2 for 1000 euro

[jagged cliff]

It just adds 2 vouchers to the existing one you get, its not a copy of another voucher

[jagged cliff]

Yeah... you need to get good deals

[pure oasis]

but didn't the skip already add one?

[royal ore]

+192 flash card

-# (ante 1/2 rocket + money tree)

[pure oasis]

ah, damn so it is three

[jagged cliff]

Got a good collection going

[brittle tendon]

Cex is good cause they have some of the smaller parts for cheaper like the shield and boots but then you'll see some characters for like 30 euro

[jagged cliff]

Skip adds one, dt adds another

[lunar zealot]

chat

[brittle tendon]

Damn you got a shelf for this, that's actually cool. What the rarest?

[jagged cliff]

Never used Cex, don't even know if we have it here

[lunar zealot]

calling all balatronians

use the most fucking esoteric balatro related terminology you can think of

just be completely bullshit with it

i need to confuse someone who's never played

[pure oasis]

missing 8 vouchers right now

[brittle tendon]

Ye it's more in Europe and stuff

[jagged cliff]

These 2 probably, they both go for well above 200 bucks

[jagged cliff]

Which ones

[brittle tendon]

Oh shit ye those ones, I saw them going for high ass prices

[jagged cliff]

I'm from europe, but I've never seen a Cex in my life

[jagged cliff]

Best thing is, I got the one on the right for 5 bucks on facebook

[brittle tendon]

Probably just a UK, Ireland sort of deal then

[jagged cliff]

Maybe

[brittle tendon]

Ok thats mad

[brittle tendon]

I'm in Ireland so I use Cex a bit but they also can be kinda shit so I've been looking into emulation if they have stuff for like a kidney or 2

[deft panther]

Balatro

[foggy quarry]

If you’re trying to go for naneinf I’d recommend continuing to try and farm as many double tags as you can so you don’t have to skip as often, it also gives you a better chance of actually getting all your vouchers because you don’t have to rely on seeing a voucher skip as frequently

[pure oasis]

Sorry ten missing, Nacho Tong, Overstock Plus, Glow Up, Liquiditation, Recyclomancy, Monet Tree, Palette, Ret Con, Blank and Antimatter

and now i got Nacho, so 9 left

[foggy quarry]

What ante are you on

[jagged cliff]

The only ones you really NEED are nacho tong, Blank and antimatter, palette and retcon

[raw loom]

Can perishable debuffed jokers still get gold stake stickers ?

[foggy quarry]

I feel like nacho tong isn’t necessary in this high of an ante

[pure oasis]

15/8

[pure oasis]

yeah, that might be good idea

[jagged cliff]

ye

[pure oasis]

don't know what that 8 in that ante means

rounds?

[foggy quarry]

Just what a normal run wins on before you go into endless

[jagged cliff]

it is if you've taken the one where you go back one ante and lose a hand

[manic talon]

8 means the end of the run

Once you got 8/8 the run is over

[latent egret]

you "win"

[pure oasis]

oh yes

[foggy quarry]

Depends how optimized your deck is tho, if you can play your scoring hand immediately or after a discard or two by that ante then you don’t really need the extra hand, I only like getting in when I’m farming my golden ticket but I wouldn’t say it’s necessary for score or the scoring hand in a meaningful way

[deft panther]

Magic deck has become one of my favorites as I've been using it to unlock jokers I haven't got yet

[jagged cliff]

I suppose

[foggy quarry]

Tho tbf if you’re switching your kings from gold to steel then I agree with you

[manic talon]

Its called endless because you choose to still play after the run ends

[jagged cliff]

Bro's running a marathon

[pure oasis]

well, i think i am missing more than ten vouchers. Hiero- and Petroglyph, magic trick & illusion, Telescope & Observatory, Planet Merchant & Tycoon, Tarot Merchant & Tycoon. Those are usually the ones i don't buy during run because i think those makes run harder

or what do you think?

[jagged cliff]

If i were you, don't get magic trick, planet merchand and tarot merchant

[pure oasis]

yes, those i try to avoid, and also the petroglyph until lategame

[manic talon]

Why arent you taking telescope

Thats crazy

[foggy quarry]

Hieroglyph and petroglyph are great atp because it gives you more time to get vouchers, jokers, money, deck fixing

[jagged cliff]

Why avoid pertroglyph

[pure oasis]

ah, usually i take, just haven't seen it in this run

[foggy quarry]

The only concern would be if you can’t get to your scoring hand quick enough and are worried about the lack of an extra discard

But ngl when I have overstock plus I take everything except planet merchant and tarot tycoon

[vale wharf]

👹this emoji looks like madness

[pure oasis]

well i was thinking that less discards was too much penalty for the lower ante because typically wanted to discard more purple sealed cards for the tarots and deck modifying, maybe i´need to update my knowledge there

[vale wharf]

No, not the discord version

[foggy quarry]

I mean it makes a difference but the biggest thing in optimizing rounds is how much money you’re generating over even an extra tarot card so going back an ante is helpful for even just money generation alone, and if your money’s good enough you’re automatically getting more tarot cards

[jagged cliff]

valid

[jagged cliff]

Bro takes magic trick 💔

[pure oasis]

hmm, what i am even rerolling from the shop?

[jagged cliff]

Show your loadout

Deck and jokers

[jagged cliff]

I guess deck fixing

Make sure to have enough money to roll with a showman once you get antimatter

'Cause you will need another Blue or Brain

[foggy quarry]

Ikkk it’s just to clear vouchers, I’ve gotten punished so many times with back to back bad vouchers and it helps in needing less double tags for the vouchers I need along with adding more cards to the deck if I don’t have dna yet, drspectred convinced me

[jagged cliff]

😭

@pure oasis, you know about copying mime at end of round for getting extra money?

[pure oasis]

26 red steel-poly, 6 purple seal, 1 blue golden, couple regular red goldens in those Kings

[pure oasis]

yes

[jagged cliff]

Okay, just making sure

[pure oasis]

yeah, it also copies planets so leveling up it too

[jagged cliff]

I also don't know if you should be having only steel atm, 'cause gold gives you the money you need to roll for both serpent, showman into copy joker and the burglar later on

[pure oasis]

don't know how much it matters in high ante anymore though

[jagged cliff]

If you hit like, level 50 i'd say you're good to not take more

[pure oasis]

lvl 58

[jagged cliff]

Yeah that'll be enough

[pure oasis]

yeah, but did you mean that i should copy more golden Kings now?

[vale wharf]

I HATE BOSS BLINDS

[jagged cliff]

I'd say so, yes

[vale wharf]

What a sick joke

[pure oasis]

maximum of those per round?

[jagged cliff]

Make sure you score the required score with as much gold as possible

You will really need money

Money is the limiting factor most of the time

[jagged cliff]

Should've thought of that

[pure oasis]

yeah, gotta focus on that now. 821 bucks

[jagged cliff]

Hoping you hit the antimatter soon so you can showman into copy joker

[pure oasis]

haven't rerolled with more than 55$ per round to this moment.

[pure oasis]

yeah

[foggy quarry]

Honestly if your score’s doing well and you’re comfortable for a while, it’s not the worst idea to get a golden ticket when you get antimatter and farm as much money as you can before you get your last copy joker

[rancid niche]

Question

If you have two banana

And one dies

Can you have small banana and big banana?

[foggy quarry]

Like the +mult and xmult one?

[rancid niche]

Yes michel and Cavendish

[foggy quarry]

Yeah, Michel just has to die once and then cavendish is put in your joker pool

[rancid niche]

Cool

[royal bobcat]

what a way to go off

[pale wolf]

yes, if you have 2 michel and only one extincts

You can have both at once

[royal bobcat]

is michel a small banana

its average sized

[pale wolf]

they are smaller than cavendishes

[foggy quarry]

Some say 3x smaller

[acoustic kettle]

They said gros michel tasted better

Why is it only +15 mult

[vale wharf]

😭 yeah
I should have played 4oak

[pale wolf]

it was sweeter, but apparently it's a urban legend that artificial banana flavoring tastes just like michel

Hank green made a video about it and in the comment section somebody wrote a post about how it was their thesis and they tracked the fact down to a 2013 scishow video

[acoustic kettle]

Hmm

I wonder how it tastes

So expensive

[pale wolf]

https://youtu.be/I9ZtvpBoXzI?si=2uHwlnnq4P9euIzS

[acoustic kettle]

Yeah but like

[royal bobcat]

i dont like bananas so if you give me a banana that tastes like a abanan even more ill be pissed

[acoustic kettle]

Hearing someone describe it is not the same as tasting it myself

[vale wharf]

Y'all really sleeping on bootstraps
All I gotta do now is buy playing cards and look for bull/stuntman

[foggy quarry]

Sounds like you’re more into canvendish then

[jagged cliff]

But buying cards cost money, making bootstraps more useless

[acoustic kettle]

Bootstraps so

Ass

[vale wharf]

I have an egg, I'll sell it by ante 5-6

[royal bobcat]

stop trying to shoehorn bootstraps in

[acoustic kettle]

Still so little mult

[foggy quarry]

Or stay with me here, pray to god for tarot voucher and use as many temperances that you can find

[royal bobcat]

it's not gonna work

[safe moat]

Hot take

I actually like blue stake

[royal bobcat]

the pun wasn't intended

btw

[acoustic kettle]

[vale wharf]

"I'll show them all" Bipeks muttered silently

[royal bobcat]

character arc

[pale wolf]

why

[foggy quarry]

I like it rn bc I’m on red deck lol

[safe moat]

Because I feel like it’s important to learn how to work around discards

[acoustic kettle]

Well sure difficulty wise it is a nice challenge

[foggy quarry]

Green joker 😇

[pure oasis]

damn, verdan't leaf. And no antimatter

[acoustic kettle]

But like

[sharp falcon]

Thoughts on my most used cards? Am I very basic

[pale wolf]

because of Blue stake

[pure oasis]

i guess bye bye DNA

[safe moat]

Yeah

[royal bobcat]

well, the downside is that it makes like 5 jokers worse, makes every 5 card hand way worse than pair and more

[jagged cliff]

How so

[pale wolf]

Blue stake helps you prepare for blue stake

That doesn't seem like a great reason

[safe moat]

Yeah 😭

[pure oasis]

need to sell or it de-buffs?

[quartz ember]

no retcon 😭

[jagged cliff]

Do you have enough score to win without DNA

[safe moat]

I may need to take a look at the suggestions for changes

[pure oasis]

hmm, not sure

[keen pilot]

Which card should I pick?

[foggy quarry]

My most used cards are so cursed in comparison lol, I’ve been grinding naneinf for the last two months

[royal bobcat]

the stone one

[keen pilot]

You sure?

[pale wolf]

2 months

[pure oasis]

no ret con, yeah

[foggy quarry]

I think the other stone one is wayyyy better

[pale wolf]

How is this possible, you don't have showman /s

[royal bobcat]

@grokimbo is that true?

[pure oasis]

hmm, Mime is uncommon, but can i survice without the Mime?

[jagged cliff]

dont think so

maybe let dna copy 1 card with copy jokers

sell

[keen pilot]

Crap, I've been caught!! Abort the mission!! /j

[pale wolf]

Grimbo is very different from grok because grimbo is consistently correct

[pure oasis]

it would be easier to find it, though then the cash flow would be smaller

[quartz ember]

nah

[jagged cliff]

But without mime there is only one retrigger on baron

[pure oasis]

why 1 card?

[jagged cliff]

I meant like, let dna copy a card

[pure oasis]

ah, of course 4 cards

[quartz ember]

mime would be bigger loss than dna probably

[pure oasis]

yeah

[jagged cliff]

thinking so too

[foggy quarry]

Yeah 😅 worth it in the end tho, I just really like high antes, I can’t help myself

[pure oasis]

yeah, that was my first thought too

[jagged cliff]

Well you have some money

So maybe youll find dna again

[pure oasis]

deck is already big

[jagged cliff]

But I dont think youre winning without mime

You will need DNA later on to pass some bosses

[pure oasis]

yeah

[jagged cliff]

So I'd say, copy dna with Blue and brain, then sell dna, play your good hand, search for DNA

[foggy quarry]

If you need score you need to keep dna and sell a copy effect joker, that’ll do more for your score than the extra copy effect joker

[pure oasis]

i can get the deck to 72 cards before selling

[vale wharf]

Ok, y'all were right, bootstraps gives such little mult for how much $ I have 😭

I need like $200 or something

[foggy quarry]

If score isn’t that dire tho then keeping the copy effect joker is way less of a hassle especially since you don’t have that much money

[jagged cliff]

Is that so? The copy joker triggers on all cards in hand while DNA adds just 4 cards

[foggy quarry]

Yeah but there’s 4 more cards of copy effect

[pale wolf]

https://efhiii.github.io/balatro-calculator/

[honest dawn]

I don't like the boots at all.

I prefer any other multi

[foggy quarry]

Wow I can’t believe I didn’t know that’s a thing, my mental math has improved so much and for what

[pale wolf]

That's a decent chunk though, most runs don't get $74 though

[pure oasis]

well at least i got liquidation to boost the economy bit

[pale wolf]

haha It's definitely still faster to do it in your head though

I don't think I've ever actually used it for my own runs

[pure oasis]

if there is anything worthwhile to buy

[shell dagger]

yeah balatro calculator is mostly for making people trust the calculations you do in your head

[foggy quarry]

Yeah but it comes down to rerolls getting really expensive which is honestly the biggest reason why the money’s important, if I have good money generation I’m rerolling $300 a round

[foggy quarry]

That’s fair

My trusting my calculations was learned by being stupid over and over instead 😂 just as effective they say

[pure oasis]

yes, now i don't have the economy needed yet

[foggy quarry]

Yeah but what’s great is you can really easily get there

[pale wolf]

endless mode is cool because you can use Fermi estimation instead of actual mental calculation /s

[pure oasis]

hmm, do i even use Death to make Purple King to Red? I guess yes

[pale wolf]

do you want the real answer to this

[nova junco]

Tbh with ancient the real answer is skipping

[foggy quarry]

If it’s an arcana pack yes if it’s not you might as well save it if there’s better ones to copy

[pale wolf]

if you were sorting your cards by rank when the previous round ended, then you picked the furthest left one for a potential Midas later

[pure oasis]

yea, arcana

[nova junco]

Is that how packs work

[pale wolf]

yeah they keep the same sort

[foggy quarry]

Yeah I would because then the death is in your fool card

[pale wolf]

it doesn't change the cards you draw, just the order they're in on screen

[pure oasis]

true

[pale wolf]

actually no it's not

I'm just silly

[vale wharf]

Is it time to sel egg

[pale wolf]

It's how arcana and spectral packs work but not standard packs

[nova junco]

Depends on if you can win without selling egg

[vale wharf]

It IS going well, I'll say

[pure oasis]

oh, there is a skip voucher tag!

[nova junco]

Ah yes sorting tarots by rank

[pale wolf]

The playing cards in the Tarot pack

[pure oasis]

even the darkest cloud has silver lining

[keen pilot]

Well, either way, I just skipped, cuz I want to fix my deck for idol
A stone card doesn't affect it, but doesn't really help me either

[nova junco]

Oh

[quartz ember]

epic:
the planet merchant in question

[nova junco]

That's just drawing a hand normally

[pale wolf]

yes 🙂

[nova junco]

[pure oasis]

what what?

[pale wolf]

I guess it can be useful on x-ray vision

[nova junco]

Ive managed to win the all face cards are drawn facing down with pareidolia using that strat lol

[pure oasis]

oh, wait, i can reroll verdant leaf, what is the worst case scenario after that?

[nova junco]

What jokers do you have

Depending on that it might be the worst mistake ever lol

[karmic jetty]

Great start to the morning, checkered deck gold stake and stickered invisible joker!

[quartz ember]

nothing really

probably crimson? could debuff dna on first hand and maybe you die

[pale wolf]

good sticker

[pure oasis]

i posted the deck and jokers just few mins ago

[karmic jetty]

What’s ironic is I got this early game and it duped photo for me, then I sold the duped photo for it right before last boss 😂

[pale wolf]

invisible isn't a temporary Joker but it at least is a rare and it does nothing for scoring, good stickering hit

[vale wharf]

Bootstraps is goated 🤑

[nova junco]

Oh yes reroll absolutely

[pale wolf]

it was never that bootstraps can't do well, it's that bootstraps isn't useful in the portions of the game where you generally need to encounter a +mult scaler

[pure oasis]

how's that? Well i got mime, baron, brainstorm and two blueprints, dna

[nova junco]

Yeah I wouldn't wanna sell any of those

Worst that could happen is the acorn messing up the joker order

[vale wharf]

Come on, I didn't even have an econ joker other than egg which I sold in the last round. If I had MIR, it would have been sooo much better. Then again, I'm fairly new and this is only red stake

[pale wolf]

low stakes gameplay makes up for most of it, but yeah with an econ source bootstraps isn't unusable

[foggy quarry]

True, though you can slow down the game to keep track of joker order or replay the first hand to see joker order

[pure oasis]

yeah, and after that the scoring mighjt not be enough anymore when there isn't enough Kings to boost up the score

[pale wolf]

You can't actually slow the game down to see where the cards go

[nova junco]

Wdym how much hand size do you have

[vale wharf]

I did get lucky with getting hologram in the beginning, so that also REALLY helped

[pale wolf]

it shuffles five times, but it doesn't actually slow each shuffle down, it just extends the time in between each one

[pure oasis]

i ment dna to copy more kings

[nova junco]

My idea was even without the extra kings from DNA it's still gonna be enough

[pure oasis]

to boost hand size and score

[nova junco]

Oh wait you're not in ante 8 are you-

Then idk just pray lmao

[pale wolf]

just post a screenshot uncropped

smh

[pure oasis]

yes, 16/8

or whatever that means

[nova junco]

Ante 16

[pure oasis]

what is that 8 in it

[pale wolf]

The game ends at a8

[nova junco]

The run ends at ante 8

[foggy quarry]

Oops, ignore me spreading misinformation

[nova junco]

Therefore you have like 5/8 as in ante 5 out of 8 you need to beat the run

[pale wolf]

It's my hobby as well

[pure oasis]

oh, yes

[warm tapir]

Is it just me or is Two Pair overpowered? I've beaten the game twice with a spare trousers build.

Next run I kinda don't wanna use two pairs for that reason.

[pale wolf]

You're very close, just think about what would happen without spare trousers

[nova junco]

No it's spare trousers that's op

[quartz ember]

pants are great

[pale wolf]

It's not the hand that's broken it's spare trousers that's broken

[quartz ember]

2pair is ok

[pale wolf]

yeah two pairs still okay, probably second or third best hand

[pure oasis]

and after that one can continue to the Endless if likes

[warm tapir]

I'm fairly new to the game but I always levitate towards two pairs.

[foggy quarry]

It also just shows you that you’ll have a selection between specifically the 5 boss blinds in intervals of 8 which is why you couldn’t reroll into the serpent on this ante for example

[pale wolf]

I would say keep doing it, you're not going to run into spare trousers every run

it'll be a good way of learning

[quartz ember]

better than always going to flushes

[pale wolf]

The most consistent is pairs

[pure oasis]

damn, so better to beat this with selling DNA than take the risk

[nova junco]

You just said that without DNA you die tho

[pure oasis]

hmm

[foggy quarry]

I like gambling and going for 4 of a kind a few antes in if I can help it

[nova junco]

erm acshually

[pale wolf]

sounds like you have to reroll and just hope for not heart on dna first hand

which is a much better prognosis than having to sell one of your Jokers anyways

[nova junco]

🤓

[foggy quarry]

But pair is very consistent

[warm tapir]

Three of a kind and the Half Joker was also pretty powerful

[pure oasis]

but i first copy the cards and then sell it?

[pale wolf]

You can't copy debuffed cards I'm pretty sure

[nova junco]

I didn't think of that actually

[quartz ember]

you can

[pale wolf]

oh dang

[nova junco]

I'd totally take the gamble if it was me tho

Also do you have any eternals

[pale wolf]

please for the love of God just post a screenshot

[pure oasis]

no, this is white stake

[pale wolf]

why are you verbally describing your entire game

[nova junco]

^

[royal ore]

guys

look at my flash card

[nova junco]

Holy reroll

[foggy quarry]

What an attractive flash card

[pure oasis]

i did post it already just don't know how to repost it

[pale wolf]

Where's chaos, where is rebate

[foggy quarry]

I wanna take that flash card out to dinner

[royal ore]

i got like ante 1/2 rocket and money tree

[pure oasis]

there was deck and jokers

[pale wolf]

ooo

[shell dagger]

post it again!

[quartz ember]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[pure oasis]

but here it is

[pale wolf]

You chose to copy the message link instead of the image link
Chad move

[shell dagger]

what even is the question

[foggy quarry]

How much have you been scoring

If they can beat ante 16 without dna

[nova junco]

you have a brainstorm, you can just put the DNA leftmost

[pure oasis]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[shell dagger]

then yeah

no dna scores over e20 with 2 copy jokers iirc

[nova junco]

Also can final boss blinds appear twice in a run

[quartz ember]

just havent gotten used to the forward option yet

[foggy quarry]

Yeah but they have 3

[shell dagger]

so it’ll be easy

[dense wraith]

rental constellation at the start was definitely bait, wanted to see if I could get away with it tho

[pale wolf]

me neither it still seems sort of awkward but I try to use it

[mighty topaz]

Just woke up. Gonna start the day with a quick gold stake balatro run

[nova junco]

I assume not?

[foggy quarry]

If you can reroll then yeah

[pure oasis]

damn

[pale wolf]

@white zodiac Early constellation deaths are the new canon event

[nova junco]

I mean not by rolling them endlessly ofc

[pale wolf]

if you reroll enough yeah

[shell dagger]

assuming 9 hand size then you score e33 with all golds

with lvl1 hc

[nova junco]

Wait wait

You don't have retcon right?

[foggy quarry]

I think they have 8 hand size

[pure oasis]

so did i manage to re-post the deck and jokers right?

[pale wolf]

from dna

+1, hand size

[vale wharf]

Holy luckballs 😭

[foggy quarry]

Oh you mean if they sell the copy effect joker

[shell dagger]

8 hand size would be about e29 then

[nova junco]

Take Jimbo it's +4 mult while invis is +0

[pale wolf]

oh boy your money back

[foggy quarry]

Yeah I was thinking of selling the dna only if there’s room in the score for it

[vale wharf]

Hmm?

[pale wolf]

well I think they could use the DNA and then sell it

[pale wolf]

$4 Sell value

[foggy quarry]

I honestly didn’t know you could use dna on verdant leaf

Does the copy effect work

[pale wolf]

me neither but I'm being told you can

[shell dagger]

you can

[vale wharf]

Ahhh

[pale wolf]

I don't use DNA so I don't know stuff about it

[foggy quarry]

Oh then yeah I’d totally do that

[nova junco]

You can DNA debuffed cards

[pure oasis]

yeah, when playing the first hand i keep the DNA left but i move MIme to the left for the money after it copies

[foggy quarry]

Can you copy debuffed cards

[merry wren]

is this a skip? i have red seal steel kings with some red seal golds for some money on the side ;)

[vale wharf]

What a fuckin' start to the run

[pale wolf]

now that's a start

[quartz ember]

you can sell one baron I assume

[dense wraith]

I gotta stop taking eternal rentals this early on a run just because the joker itself seemed promising, especially if it won't do much at all in the start

[pale wolf]

hoping for another blueprint

[dreamy creek]

giess we doing 4oak now

[pure oasis]

yeah, i'll use it and then sell the DNA. Safest way

[nova junco]

Can you score enough if you sell one of your jokers

[merry wren]

and hope for what to get from the invis

[merry wren]

easily

[pale wolf]

Even normal eternal constellation killed a perfectly promising run I had, because I just bought it too early

[quartz ember]

copy joker

[nova junco]

Maybe sell a baron hoping invis gets blueprint

[dense wraith]

that run I just had found a good mult option (foil red card stickerless) just to be ruined by an early rental

[foggy quarry]

Actually wouldn’t using the dna not end up doing anything if you can’t use the dna in your scoring hand

[merry wren]

what would be the most optimal joker placement for scoring when i do need scores

[pale wolf]

if you can copy DNA then you get additional hand size for the next hand

[quartz ember]

and no hit is also good because ghen you can get a joker without an edition to replace it

[pale wolf]

cuz it adds more than one card

[quartz ember]

depends on your hand

[foggy quarry]

Basically trying to keep the scoring and repeating even including red seals and steels

[merry wren]

it’s like 3/5 odds for copying

i can switch to steel kings pretty easily o think

[nova junco]

You should try to get the same number of card triggers and x1.5

Like the kings trigger once naturally, once red seal and twice for mime+blueprint = 4 times,
and they give x1.5 once for steel and 3 times for 2 barons and a brainstorm = 4 times

[quartz ember]

its 5/5 to copy a copier or not copy a copier in which case you can sell it for better

[vale wharf]

I should stop spamming the chat with my images, so this is the last one, I swear
Should I duplicate square or the family? Or should I just duplicate randomly and keep both?

[foggy quarry]

So you can copy the dna even on verdant leaf, because that was my only hold up

[pale wolf]

yes

[nova junco]

Not your exact setup but you get the idea

[quartz ember]

as long as you can you need to have gold kings to get money

[foggy quarry]

Def the family, xmult way more valuable

[merry wren]

would i even want to take an ecto tho for a dna

[white zodiac]

make it your new username add on

[quartz ember]

why wouldnt you

[pale wolf]

constellation kills

[vale wharf]

But, chips...

[dense wraith]

too early for a spectral pack on round 1, immolate would be the only redeeming thing to find

[merry wren]

so the copyers should be copying mime then?

[pale wolf]

I take them because it's fun and you can't afford the hiker

and it's also checkered so you don't really need a joker yet

[merry wren]

alright i’ll keep farming money for it

[foggy quarry]

Yeah but you can get really solid chips from common jokers and planet cards, good mult is harder to find

[vale wharf]

Alr, let's go family

[dense wraith]

well actually your right, just on most other decks it would be a little risky

[quartz ember]

if you have red seal gold, you should have more barons than mimes

for scoring

[nova junco]

Depends on your kings

[quartz ember]

then change to all mimes for the money

[dense wraith]

annd it's almost nothing

[merry wren]

i have red seal golds for now but i’m pretty ahead of the score rn and i can switch to steel kings pretty soon oh wait i just got what you were saying

[dense wraith]

cryptid would have to duplicate a naked card here

[merry wren]

would taking invis joker be worth it then?

[pale wolf]

:>

[quartz ember]

yes its either way worth it

[vale wharf]

I threw 😭
I'm just gonna sleep

[merry wren]

so i sell a baton, get the invis and go until i get a dna

[iron plank]

ankh value

[merry wren]

what should i sell for the dna

[white zodiac]

speculative queen cryptid

[foggy quarry]

Yayyy 54 card deck…

[quartz ember]

if it hits no copiers then you sell it for the first DNA you see

[merry wren]

and if it hits a copier AND i see a dna?

[pale wolf]

yeah probably, I think I would preferably do nines

[merry wren]

that would be best case scenario rifht

[quartz ember]

I guess hitting a copier doesnt mattter actually

you anyways sell for dna I think

[reef badge]

hello chat

[merry wren]

it’s more convenient until i get a dna

[quartz ember]

but at least its a little more mime triggers for money

[white zodiac]

I go through the common rarity rank jokers first but it's just me

[merry wren]

i like that

so i’m selling the baron

[pale wolf]

on other decks I would probably go for a shoot the moon but seems less useful on checkered

[merry wren]

tysm :)

[pale wolf]

with no build direction given yet I'm still going to flushes

[foggy quarry]

You also just prefer copy jokers over two barons because they give you the value of the baron and the mime

[merry wren]

yeah it will be more convenient

ty :)

i’ll be sad if i hit the mime not really tho more money is always nice

[foggy quarry]

AND it’s kinda just a win win because if it doesn’t hit a copy joker and you have to reroll for a copy joker, at least you can ecto said copy joker later on

[merry wren]

right

tysm

i’ll go die to the plant now :)

[foggy quarry]

The dream 🫡

[pure oasis]

really no Ret Con

[dense wraith]

I don't even get to use drivers license that much

[merry wren]

lmao we have the same run going on js different decks

[foggy quarry]

Ooo but I’m always happy to see palette on naneinf attempt

[pure oasis]

good luck, hf 🙂

[merry wren]

you too :)

[pure oasis]

tyvym

well at least telescope and pallette is out from the list now

[wicked sonnet]

losing my MIND trying to beat orange stake for the first time

[pure oasis]

weird, when i press Print Screen for the screenshots it takes "old" shots

maybe i should stop using it and try another method

[pale wolf]

there's also snipping tool or programs like sharex

[foggy quarry]

Honestly feel like it took me longer to get my first orange stage win than gold stake win

[wicked sonnet]

does anyone haver any advice?

[pure oasis]

and i am not going to buy the Tarot Merchant here

[pale wolf]

Don't buy early rentals, keep your interest up

[dense wraith]

if y'all want me to use wraith then place your bets

[pure oasis]

ok, i'll try that

[wicked sonnet]

idk why but it's so much harder 😭 i'm not even missing many jokers because of the perishable

[pale wolf]

whoops I forgot that it was perishables not rentals

[sharp falcon]

Brainstorm

[pale wolf]

uhm Should roughly be the same as purple stake honestly

[wicked sonnet]

yeah

idk why it's so much harder

beat purple after like two attempts

[pure oasis]

but i just don't understand what is point of the Print Screen anymore if it Prints from history

[pale wolf]

I don't think it should, it's supposed to just put whatever is on your screen onto your clipboard

[wicked sonnet]

ig i'm just not being consistent enough with my builds

[wicked sonnet]

it shouldn't

i press prtsc and can take a shot of my current screen

[pure oasis]

yes, but it weirdly does in case of balatro and another game too Project Zomboid

[foggy quarry]

I mean another thing to is don’t forget to take advantage of planets and deck fixing, focusing on them will give you more consistency in your runs

[pale wolf]

try just double or triple tapping prntscrn

[pure oasis]

if i press it on disccrd it does what it should

[merry wren]

the invis gave me another baron lol
it’s js funny

[dense wraith]

It was the duo

[jagged cliff]

Why are we talking about printscreens

[pure oasis]

ok, ill try that next time

[wicked sonnet]

maybe i'll play some white stake to get some easier builds going for a bit and refresh my brain

thanks guys

[merry wren]

would selling the baron for a showman make sense?

[vale wharf]

Do people really play challenges?

[pale wolf]

to finish the game yea
I don't casually play any of the challenges after I beat them though except a couple times on fragile and to test things

[pure oasis]

we are talking about screenshots with Print Screen button

[vale wharf]

LT should add more, they're actually fun

[quartz ember]

if its easy to survive then prolly yes

[merry wren]

it is for now, thank you though

[jagged cliff]

Ah, who uses that button, just use window + shift + s

[pure oasis]

yeah, i know that combo but when i use it with balatro it opens the discord window

[vale wharf]

I have an idea:
If y'all have played BTD5 and BTD6, you'd know about the daily challenges where there's a super specific setup. Such a feature in Balatro would be really cool with really specific premade setups where you have to play 3 rounds or maybe even just one hand, but you have to sort things just right

[pure oasis]

for some weird reason

[jagged cliff]

huh, interesting

[pure oasis]

yup

[foggy quarry]

I would love that SO MUCH, let me try all the run ideas I’ve wanted to try for so long

[pure oasis]

oh, first 1$ reroll gave rare, DNA here we come

[jagged cliff]

Is that like the daily puzzle challenges from PvZHeroes? (if anyone remebers those-)

[vale wharf]

Yesss, it's like that too

[jagged cliff]

Ohhh snap

I'm down for that idea then

[vale wharf]

Yeah, and you would have full control when designing them, even the shop offers. Rerolls would be disabled to really make you think what needs to be done or showcase a specific joker

[pure oasis]

1687$ - the Vagabond is not going to see any action soon...

[vale wharf]

It's pretty cool, eh?

[foggy quarry]

There’s a chance if you feel like being really irresponsible lol

[jagged cliff]

Yeah fr, you're onto something, LOCALTHUNK hire this one

[jagged cliff]

Vagabond will carry

[pale wolf]

mr thunk

[pure oasis]

damn, golden ticket is offered, that would be ca$h

[foggy quarry]

Tbf if you don’t get retcon voucher there’s a chance for one of those soul crushing runs where you reroll like $2000 for luchador and still lose to like the plant or some bull

Those runs make me take a few days break from Balatro lol

[jagged cliff]

golden ticket S tier joker

[coarse condor]

got poly mime from a voucher, is it worth it to sell something for baron? or perhaps is it restart time?

[foggy quarry]

Actually tho, best money making joker in the game imo

[jagged cliff]

how much you get for your jokers

[coarse condor]

3/5/4/5 respectively

[jagged cliff]

fr, you either play your gold card for 4 dollar, or keep it in hand for 3

[pure oasis]

been there done that and it is always ragequit and go killing zombies to the Kentycky

[coarse condor]

I have to sell 2 no matter what

[jagged cliff]

sell the 3 and 4 and wing it

[coarse condor]

goodbye scary face and smiley face

time to run up the naneinf

[jagged cliff]

Closing Balatro because you lost to then start up Balatro because you keep coming back

[foggy quarry]

Way too early, it’s bait

[vale wharf]

And completing these daily challenges would reward you with Jimbo coins, which you could use in my second idea...

Joker Pass

• $16.99 a month
• 2 limited jokers every season (stays exclusive for the next 6 months)
• consumable run buffs (useful for gold stakes)
• featured joker, tarot, planet and spectral card skins
• ultra legendary edition available in runs (+50 chips, +10 mult, x1.5 mult)
• +1 joker slot every run

[coarse condor]

true, but i am a simple fish who believes they can deck fix with no econ or early chips/mult before it’s too late

[jagged cliff]

baron mime is NEVER bait

I won a game with both showing up in my first 2 shops

[foggy quarry]

Oh ofc, I’m too addicted to not come back

Too busy generating more money in this game than I’ll ever see in my life

[jagged cliff]

And 24,99 without ads

[foggy quarry]

I like it, full send 🫡

[fervent wolf]

I love Balatro

[fervent wolf]

Same bro, same

[jagged cliff]

What the hell is brawlstars spike doing in this chat, get him out of here

[vale wharf]

Noooo, spike is cute

[coarse condor]

more of a poco enjoyer myself

just hit 2000 trophies on him recently

[vale wharf]

I love Bibi

[foggy quarry]

Ngl I sell you when I get you otherwise I forget and you eat the jokers I like

[pure oasis]

damn, i am thinking hard now should i keep the Vagabond because ít is rare (good for the DNA showup) or get golden ticket for the money

[vale wharf]

My friend made some Bibi jokers for me

[jagged cliff]

show your roster

[foggy quarry]

My brawl stars is broken 😭 I can’t get back on it

[quartz ember]

how well can you utilize gticket?

[jagged cliff]

guess its balatro time then

[foggy quarry]

110% golden ticket, you’ll be able to reroll so much more

[jagged cliff]

Well do you really get something from the ticket? Dont really think so

You get a lot of money from mime alone

And as you said, vb blocks for dna

so just keep vb

It also blocks for invis

so 2 birds one sstone

[pure oasis]

yeah

[random basalt]

Can Ouija be used on top of Sigil?

[boreal oar]

i hate to optimise fun but +chips +mult jokers are so busted in the balatrodle. being able to guess like 3 abilities in one is insane

[foggy quarry]

Only if you need dna for score

Otherwise the golden ticket is incredible farming

[quartz ember]

vagabond is 1/17 -> 1/16
thats like 6% increased chance

[jagged cliff]

But on the other hand, golden ticket gives more money to roll and golden ticket blocks for showman, showman into copy joker

[quartz ember]

to find dna, if from golden ticket you get to reroll more than 6% more then its worth

[jagged cliff]

Do you prefer to block or get additional money

Both can be good options

[foggy quarry]

Oh wait you don’t even have dna I forgot, then yeah I’d definitely go golden ticket, easily like 400 extra a round with all of your hands and with mime on top

[pure oasis]

well rolled

[vale wharf]

Spoon feeding run

[foggy quarry]

Just play flush fives all gold and you’re in for a lovely time

[pure oasis]

don't know how much should roll now

[foggy quarry]

Plus if they have Red seals it’s actually 800 a round

[jagged cliff]

Which did you keep, GT or VB

[pure oasis]

16k cash

[foggy quarry]

I always roll half the money I make a round

But that’s just me

[blissful cedar]

Anyone have a black deck streak and have tips

Someone in here pissed me off earlier so finishing black deck first to prove a point

[white zodiac]

[jagged cliff]

Flush all the way

[pure oasis]

VB

[jagged cliff]

That's the only hand you need

[blissful cedar]

I got clowned for using flush the most in here

[foggy quarry]

Golden ticket doesn’t block for showman, golden ticket is common

[jagged cliff]

See how much you make a round with mime, than half that like Joover does

[pure oasis]

i kept the VB

[jagged cliff]

Huh, I thought it was uncommon

[foggy quarry]

Ikr

[pure oasis]

no GT is common

[jagged cliff]

It's so OP

[brave goblet]

Castling

[white zodiac]

uh I can give you the two seeds I've won on black deck that were challenging enough to consider using as a skill check

[foggy quarry]

It feels like it should be uncommon with how much money it generates

[brave goblet]

Didn't even get to trigger the card sharp

[blissful cedar]

Dm pls and ty

[jagged cliff]

For some reason I thought all the enhancement jokers were uncommon, Lucky Cat, Glass Joker, Stone Joker and then ofc Golden Ticket

[blissful cedar]

Im taking the black streak win streak as a current no

[foggy quarry]

I wish it was that way, that’d be such a better way to organize it

[pure oasis]

well now GT is offered again

[foggy quarry]

Tbf tho the two best money making jokers are both commons

[jagged cliff]

maybe go the GT round

[jagged cliff]

Mail?

[foggy quarry]

And parking too if you wanna shoe horn it in there

Yeah

[jagged cliff]

Hecking love mail

[foggy quarry]

Right

[pure oasis]

yup, GT it is. Obelisk was only rare that popped up

[jagged cliff]

Sick, now farm some money

[foggy quarry]

I love mail more than golden ticket when I really wanna turn my brain off

But what I really love is golden ticket mail

[jagged cliff]

been there

[white zodiac]

copy jokers I banned picking for stickering purposes

[jagged cliff]

Bro loves his econ

[white zodiac]

I don't have one atm

former streak was 5

for tips I don't have any :P

[foggy quarry]

I really do, I want my next big run to basically be a high ante idol run so I can have an excuse to run golden ticket and sock and buskin with a bunch of copy effects, I just love when I can make that even number real big

Plus tbf the run I had the most money in was also the one I naneinfed on lol

[pure oasis]

128$ per hand

not too shaggy

[foggy quarry]

Hell yeah

[white zodiac]

the first naneinf also used this method before completely pivoting

[pure oasis]

and also managed to use the Death 3 times

[jagged cliff]

Oh you mean like my current run?

[foggy quarry]

It’s honestly how I play a lot of my naneinf runs minus sock and buskin

[foggy quarry]

IT’S BEAUTIFUL

[white zodiac]

it's a fun cash sound byte

[quick solar]

ggs

[pure oasis]

correction 4 times

[quick solar]

no vouchers and couldnt suit change in time

[jagged cliff]

ikr

[foggy quarry]

Was this a challenge run

[jagged cliff]

Maybe if I encounter a DNA or something

[quick solar]

yeah

[foggy quarry]

Okay cool, I was trying to wrap my mind around the eternal jokers lol

[pure oasis]

this is ridiculous, why did i even buy this scpetral pack

[jagged cliff]

hex!!

[white zodiac]

you can also try this one. prob the hardest black deck seed request I've done in recent memory
#🕹・game-discussion message

[foggy quarry]

What were you looking for

[pure oasis]

yeah, i saw that option - in my nightmare

[jagged cliff]

But then he wont get the 1.5x polychrome

[pure oasis]

yeah, i was just too curious

[foggy quarry]

Fair enough 😂 I’m with you

[jagged cliff]

Hey Munkki, maybe its time for a little break

[foggy quarry]

In all fairness I’d totally open it up just for the small chance at a cryptid

[pure oasis]

hmm, the Diet Coke

[jagged cliff]

do it

You need vouchers

[pure oasis]

gotta get it and find some money joker afterwards, i guess

[foggy quarry]

Wait I’m gonna see if I can find where I had my money at the other day, I might’ve missed the screenshot before the game crash tho

[quick solar]

imagine if the hex was a soul

[jagged cliff]

Nah, high card build with photochad

[pure oasis]

hmm, it is uncommon so it boosts up the showman

[foggy quarry]

Yeah this was the run

[quick solar]

fragile challenge lowkey fun

[jagged cliff]

That's enough dices

[quick solar]

no i need more

[pure oasis]

nah, i'll sell it

[quick solar]

i think invis and ankh yeah

[foggy quarry]

I’d focus way more on money generating than joker blocking just because it’s a better chance to roll into what you’re looking for

[pure oasis]

golden joker is money

[quick solar]

i mean challenge decks in general are fun

[pure oasis]

but is it worth it, that is the question

[foggy quarry]

I just meant instead of finding something that would block for another joker

[pure oasis]

3$ for the 4$

[buoyant ridge]

what am i doing wrong on plasma ?

[jagged cliff]

need more chips

[pure oasis]

nice, business card

[foggy quarry]

Yeah except with a red seal it’s $6 vs $8 on top of the fact that the $6 is one time when you finish the round while the $8 is every hand until your final scoring hand

[pure oasis]

better than nothing

[buoyant ridge]

but how if i cant find hiker or runner

[white zodiac]

well youre absent of xmult for one

[pure oasis]

can't use it on boss though because boss is the Mouth

[buoyant ridge]

Xmult is extremely difficult to build a setup on plasma on mid game

harder than black deck

also from the rng of shops

[white zodiac]

planet levels usually narrow the gap between pivot points for mult transition

[wary solstice]

i hate ts game

[white zodiac]

and well economy optimization

[buoyant ridge]

best strategy, pairs or high card

[white zodiac]

first ante is more or less pretty absent shop wise

pairs, usually 2 pairs

straights could be a contender

[foggy quarry]

Oh well then yeah totally sell it, you’ll find it again later

[pure oasis]

well, i can use it at big blind then i'll sell it if something better shows up

parking would be fine

[proper turtle]

straight/royal flushes are so good

[foggy quarry]

Fs

[proper turtle]

photo, chad, sock and buskin gets me that

[foggy quarry]

Yeah love parking on fully setup baron mime build, another goated money farm

[proper turtle]

the runner I feel is one of the best chips scaling joker, right there with wee joker and castle

runner scales absurdly fast

[pure oasis]

44$ per hand

[foggy quarry]

Niceeee are you setting up the parking like it’s a baron when you’re farming too

[pure oasis]

it is with business card, was hoping to find parking

[foggy quarry]

Oh cool, yeah honestly the best you get with business card lol, still better than nothing fs

[pure oasis]

and yes, i'll try to throw the baron to the end afterwards

[foggy quarry]

Yeah I figured you had that down I just know for me it took me forever to remember to use the parking like a fill in for a baron the same way I do with golden ticket for an idol, idk why but it just took forever to click

[pure oasis]

lol, these Deaths keep racking up, 3 jacks and 1 queen left in deck

[heavy heron]

try again, you got this

[pure oasis]

correction 2 jacks

[wary solstice]

thx

[pure oasis]

i was afraid to let it go to the last hand, but it scored xxxe45

GT is back

[foggy quarry]

Congrats!

[jagged cliff]

the goat

[pure oasis]

tyvym

also got fool and death from the roll

even sold the hermit instead of playing it when the foll showed up

card modify > 20 $ if asked me

at least at this stage

[viral raft]

Well done

[pure oasis]

now i gotta remind myself, don't play 5oak

[viral raft]

5oak suck ahh

idk how but 5oask needs a buff

is so bad

[pure oasis]

yeah, it is horrendous against the Mouth

[viral raft]

is horreundous in general lol

[terse vale]

Idk how it can get a buff

[viral raft]

i know it sound weird...but what about being 4 mult instead of 3?

[terse vale]

ehhhh

[pure oasis]

no more quuens in the deck and last normal qeen left too

[terse vale]

still runs into the same problems straight flush does

[viral raft]

have more scaling after all, this hand dies after long term by Death and stuff like that, being more scaling makes it harder than flush 5 but more worthy in a way

idk

[viral raft]

SF is way better than 5oak

SF is hard to make but his scaling is actually goated

5oak not even that, his scaling is just 4oak but with +5 chips lmao

[potent tree]

good morning balatronians

[viral raft]

the only "good" thing about 5oak is that his base level 1 is good

[terse vale]

I’m just saying why do that when straight exists and is way easier to get and build towards early

[viral raft]

true, i player SF builds but tbh it only works whenm you're already winning, basically you play a harder hand for more scaling

[light spruce]

seriously considering selling 1 perkeo for mail in rebate (so I can oll twards the serpant in addition to cryptids)
please tell me I'm not crazy

It's just that at this rate I'll be running out of Cryptids...

[viral raft]

is like a "reward" for make the game harder

[pure oasis]

good morning

[viral raft]

tbh yes

or search a invis

[potent tree]

i'm surprised i still have many econ stickers to get

[pure oasis]

damnit, the Magic Trick

well the Needle is beatable

[viral raft]

Magic trick needs a buff ASAP

[craggy lantern]

can any1 let me know if they are able to get past ante 5 with this seed and setup i cant get past it FSR7I6P7 gold stake black deck

[viral raft]

is only useful with Hologram, great joker but literally is the only reason to buy it

[viral raft]

let me try in a moment

[tired kestrel]

I'll give it a shot too

[craggy lantern]

thanks

[buoyant ridge]

this game so unbalanced fr

[pale wolf]

and playing 5 of the same rank

[buoyant ridge]

game needs seriously balancing

[jagged cliff]

nah game is peak

[buoyant ridge]

hanging chad should retrigger a card 20 times instead of 2 times

[jagged cliff]

Okay that I can agree on

But it should not only retrigger

it should retrigger and give x2 for each retrigger

[buoyant ridge]

and flushes planets should give you +50 mult

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (had to sell seltzer so i dont get full score sadge)

[jagged cliff]

Yes

[jagged cliff]

Bloodstone my beloved ❤️

[viral raft]

is nice playing 1 more cards ngl, specially when you're playing retriggers, but tbh just wait until flush 5

you can just easily have flush 5 if you find the basic 4oak in your hand, use one suit card in the others and then one death

[cedar shell]

am i meant to take this over showman or am i required to take another blueprint (i cant sell the baron its bugged or smth)

[viral raft]

is too specific but i'd rather doing that thaqn just playing 5oak

[jagged cliff]

You can't sell Baron, maybe restart Balatro

[cedar shell]

i was really tired when i was doing this run and when i got coherent i realized i have one slot too many

and so i cant sell either baron because theyre both negative

[pale wolf]

if you can consistently play 5oak then no reason not to pivot 5oak flush5

[pure oasis]

phuuh, i almost failed with wrong joker order

[pale wolf]

sometimes happens

[terse vale]

crazy crazy pivot

[pale wolf]

cheating

bloodstone doesnt work

[manic talon]

thats because you dont believe hard enough
