good

happy

proud of you

congrats

[balmy ridge]

yes

thank youi

appreciate it

im excited for this monologue

kami has been typing for like 10 minutes

[hybrid tendon]

kami's writing about how much she loves the bbc joker

[balmy ridge]

i think so!!!!!

[restive plover]

mr bones down 😔

[balmy ridge]

its okay

[white zodiac]

ok man 💔

is kami asleep on the keyboard

[lunar zealot]

baseball card is my favorite joker.
one of the best in the game too; for a multitude of reasons from an innocuous premise of 'uncommon jokers each give x1.5 mult'
it gives a build direction, whether it's taken early mid or late game - in a game where direction is almost everything, to have a joker that provides it and gives scoring that is more than adequate for its opportunity cost is an incredibly large boon, not even considering the implications of every uncommon giving x1.5 yet
making every uncommon x1.5 makes every uncommon viable; every uncommon no matter how esoteric gives xmult with bbc which allows for a surprising amount of strategy
'bad' uncommons like idol seance and showman, rather than being unusable on gold stake runs instead gain a second wind of giving x1.5 mult
xmult and +mult uncommons have additional note simply because x1.5 on top of the value they themselves already give is significant; retrigger jokers have inherent synergy as they are uncommon and strategies that tend to use them (wee, ancient joker, triboulet) can always make use of baseball card for more xmult; utility and econ uncommons also have note simply due to the fact that they would not provide scoring by themselves if not for bbc - cloud 9, shortcut, and so many more, because the amount of uncommons means you will almost never run out of options
and you don't necessarily have to only use uncommons in any given run; 2 alone give x2.25 mult which is more than see2, more than duo, more than ramen, and considering you in a typical run have a +mult joker, an econ joker and 1 or 2 xmult jokers, should at least 2 of those be uncommon that already justifies bbc's place on any given build - let alone 3 or even 4 uncommons giving x3.375 and x5.0625 mult respectively which would easily allow you to beat violet vessel in 1 hand; but even then a bbc run can and does beat violet vessel making its score ceiling more than adequate, as well as being resilient to most boss blinds
tl;dr bbc good

[balmy ridge]

timing

[restive plover]

oh my gosh i forgot i asked abou that

[lunar zealot]

I would have said more

[lunar zealot]

but i hit the character limit

[balmy ridge]

[balmy ridge]

omaigah

[serene forge]

[sweet bramble]

Who hired riot games to balance balatro

[lunar zealot]

KIMI NO AIBA GA

[balmy ridge]

mm... to burger or not to burger

[shell dagger]

surely better than swash

[balmy ridge]

he was dagger food

[alpine halo]

any advice for orange stake abandoned

[balmy ridge]

straights

[shell dagger]

burglar is 1.75x hands, swash isn’t scaling that much in 2 rounds

[balmy ridge]

im not

using swash

i was gonna feed him to dagger

i guess ill take burger tho

[shell dagger]

i meant to say dagger

[alpine halo]

i dont think swashbucklers doing anything here right? i think burger would be better

[balmy ridge]

how many times

do i have to say

[alpine halo]

really? arent straights kinda weird to fix and build around

[balmy ridge]

abandoned has 40 cards

[alpine halo]

whoops

[shell dagger]

not on abandoned

[balmy ridge]

it's much easier

[alpine halo]

ah

i did high card on abandoned for blue stake that was fun

[restive plover]

guhhhh... groker......

[twin lantern]

mambo mambo

omatsuri mambo

[sweet bramble]

Groker my beloved

[balmy ridge]

groker?

[shell dagger]

you already have red card

[balmy ridge]

is that

green + square?

I SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

[shell dagger]

but green is essentially free to scale as you’re already scaling square

[restive plover]

green gobling mask called me

[shell dagger]

so i guess it’s okay here

[restive plover]

yeah

[balmy ridge]

they call me the spotter of differences

but not in a racist way

[restive plover]

i just picked up red card too this shop

[sweet bramble]

best scaling is gift card + swash 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️

(not really)

[restive plover]

big if true

[wintry ice]

same scaling as grimbo

[sweet bramble]

nah but my favorite scaling joker is wee joker 😊

[wintry ice]

except you lose mult from selling things instead of discarding

[wintry ice]

just use grimbo burglar tee bee h

[fading cobalt]

"my build needs a hanging chad and its cooking"
Next shop: perishable hanging chad

[balmy ridge]

o

wrong screenshot

i won

[sweet bramble]

this is true

[balmy ridge]

photochad enthusiast.. [duck smoking cigarette shaking head gif]

[fading cobalt]

Its not a photochad build lol

I hate photograph

[restive plover]

judgement just made pants

😭

[jovial plinth]

If i use blueprint on gros michel and it disintegrates will blueprint do the same

[sweet bramble]

Nope

[restive plover]

we live in a society

[cosmic sun]

[jovial plinth]

Is this a good deck its the best ive gotten so far

[fading cobalt]

Gros michel when it comes to not going extinct when its perishable/rental

[timber radish]

how do yall have so many negative jokers 💔

i only get like 1/2 per run

[restive plover]

second judgement made vampire

Society

[sweet bramble]

Tags and ectoplasm probs

[serene forge]

what do you do in this position?

[fading cobalt]

Go to #⚙・modding-general

[sweet bramble]

Scream and cry beccause WHAT DID YOUD O TO YOR GAME

[serene forge]

wdym modding this is vanilla gameplay

[upper temple]

why is my green joker only giving +1 mult when it is currently +6?

[fading cobalt]

Mhm

[fading cobalt]

:classic:

Lol

[upper temple]

what happened

[fading cobalt]

@cosmic sun can you send [duck smoking] emoji

[sweet bramble]

FINALLY!!!!!!

[shell dagger]

slow down the animations

[cosmic sun]

[fading cobalt]

Thanks

[upper temple]

They need to add a 3x option

[cosmic sun]

🦆 🚬

color coded mallard with cigarette butt

[fading cobalt]

I'm a balatro player, I can't read when boss blind is the mouth

[shell dagger]

thanks, the emojis weren’t loading

[white zodiac]

moeny

[cosmic sun]

I am pretty sure the duck smoking emote I sent is in a fucked up format or something that doesn't load on mobile

[lunar zealot]

Lol

[upper temple]

it gives +1 before the other jokers and all the retrigger chad stuff and then gives +6?

[shell dagger]

it doesn’t give +1, it upgrades the green joker by +1

[sweet bramble]

should i do it

[shell dagger]

then gives you whatever value mult has during the joker scoring phase

[upper temple]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[fading cobalt]

No

Made me close my game

[cosmic sun]

winnable

[sweet bramble]

boooooooooooooring

[white zodiac]

we make do one might say

[upper temple]

why is the mult after the hanging chad stuff? Is it because its on card score so its post multiplication? Which means I have a useless eternal joker? So I basically need fibonacci or something idk

what shud I do for base mult

[shell dagger]

it’s just the way it’s scored

[alpine halo]

for straights i just spam planets right

[shell dagger]

planets

[fading cobalt]

Have you ever had a dream?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[upper temple]

Damn. Alr so for on score/steelcard trigger stuff i need to rely on planets

[shell dagger]

yeah

[alpine halo]

all 6's in question

[fading cobalt]

Pack it up Amelia, we get the it

[serene forge]

i like using the dice

[fading cobalt]

Oops all sixes and six sense is a insane duo tbh

[verbal mural]

Doing a joker tier list, and my friends are saying campfire is F tier

[white zodiac]

last time someone had a dream, they got shot

[alpine halo]

me when i lie

[sweet bramble]

its awesome if youre rich

[verbal mural]

Exactly

[upper temple]

I hate campfire

[serene forge]

ditch them

[fading cobalt]

Even not rich its pretty strong

[alpine halo]

new friends time

[upper temple]

I have never found campfire good

[cosmic sun]

@verbal mural

[alpine halo]

sell consumables

[sweet bramble]

Thats true especially with liquidation

[upper temple]

I see...

[final briar]

got the tiny hands achievement now. trading card on abandoned deck makes it trivially easy. thanks to whoever pointed out that achievements have to be unlocked when using mods 😁

[cosmic sun]

@upper temple

[serene forge]

blunder

[winged bolt]

what if i just dupe trading card

no real strategy in mind, it just sounds really funny

[verbal mural]

Cause they are ass

[white zodiac]

@cosmic sun

[cosmic sun]

x8 campfire x8 holo

[white zodiac]

[alpine halo]

or you could cryptid the 3

3's are so ass

worst card in the game

[winged bolt]

i could cryptid the king...

[sweet bramble]

Campfire does seem like a love it or hate it joker

[winged bolt]

all road leads to baron

[upper temple]

oh wow

[serene forge]

weakest campfire gameplay:

[fading cobalt]

Second trading card should give a second chance to destroy a card

[sweet bramble]

The illusion of free choice....

[serene forge]

all roads lead to game over you mean

[winged bolt]

that's double the destruction!

[fading cobalt]

Use immolate money to find a better joker than blue joker

[hasty harness]

all roads lead to idol

[lunar zealot]

Ello ello

[fading cobalt]

All roads lead to photochad

[serene forge]

go to bed

[robust lance]

can't believe it... I'm going... STRAIGHT.

[lunar zealot]

It is 9 am dumbass

[robust lance]

sickening

[sweet bramble]

This is actually true

[serene forge]

go to bed you need your morning nap

[robust lance]

ok but wee is fun

[winged bolt]

do yall have any tips for green deck im trying to beat it to unlock another deck

[lunar zealot]

Wee is optimal here

Wait no

You have double order

[sweet bramble]

same bestie

[lunar zealot]

take that fucking invis

[last spade]

What’s the highest score you guys ever got

[lunar zealot]

naneinf

[winged bolt]

like 80 mil

i dont got enough brainpower to hit the naneinf yet

let alone the funny e numbers

[serene forge]

0

[alpine halo]

decent start

[robust lance]

man on command serpent is actually pretty good for... straights.

[cosmic sun]

at least 1

[sweet bramble]

Liike 100 billion

[lunar zealot]

Surprisingly easily lmao

ante 1 perkeo is the most free naneinf in the world

[serene forge]

why coupon tag

[lunar zealot]

Helping matters was seance immediately giving cryptid

[final briar]

only C++ and Rule Breaker left to go now

[alpine halo]

more value than i wouldve gotten from playing the blind

i think atleast

[sweet bramble]

Game is easy when you get a legendary ante 1

[alpine halo]

chicot

[tranquil steppe]

I just sold burglar for lucky cat

[lunar zealot]

Well duh

[sweet bramble]

Game is easier than easy then

CHIGOAT

[lunar zealot]

i got ante 14 naneinf

that was with no mime

[shell dagger]

should’ve a39ed

[lunar zealot]

I replayed the seed and found mime and got it down to a11

[serene forge]

i disagree

[lunar zealot]

can cryptid a39?

i thought only observatory could

[sweet bramble]

Very large blind when very large chicot walks into the room

[shell dagger]

???

ofc

[robust lance]

sells world
gets world back

[alpine halo]

im horrible at the game and wanna ge tbetter so just curious why would it be better to play the blind

[white zodiac]

blackboard spec

[shell dagger]

remember literally the only roadblock stopping perkeoless a39 is a32

just do that but burn all your cryptids on ante 32

[lunar zealot]

isn't there a point where you use more cryptids than you make though

[sweet bramble]

The more times you visit the shop the better, and collecting money from the blinds also helps

[lunar zealot]

Idk i don't ever go a39

i dont know the strats lmao

[shell dagger]

you just skip to serpent every round when that happens

[alpine halo]

yea but i dont get bonus money from small blind so wouldnt coupon be more value than 3$ tops?

[lunar zealot]

Oh right serpent

[idle haven]

Yoooooooo ahahahahaha who here plays balatro hahaha 👀👀👀👀👀👀

[sweet bramble]

The shop visits are basically a "free" reroll and more booster packs

[sweet bramble]

What is balatro?

[idle haven]

Niche game

[sweet bramble]

Please quit making random video games up

[quick solar]

wait this bypasses the joker limit

[final briar]

I heard it's gambling 😬

[lunar zealot]

what the fuck

[sweet bramble]

Not. Cool.

[winged bolt]

....now i could take sigil in hopes of turning all of this into hearts

[alpine halo]

ah i didnt think about it that way, that makes ante one 8$ value +booster packs if you one shot it

[white zodiac]

did you kill a negative

[winged bolt]

do i take the gamble

[idle haven]

Eternal negative egg in the buffoon pack

[sweet bramble]

Exactly!!

[serene forge]

it has the same problem as most skips, no guarantee you're actually getting anything remotely usable at all while losing a shop opportunity and money from the blind

[quick solar]

yeah

[idle haven]

Yes

[serene forge]

also because this is orange stake perishables absolutely ruin it

[white zodiac]

yeah that happens

[idle haven]

Discard all hearts first

[white zodiac]

similar to having negative invis

[sweet bramble]

The only consistently valuable skip is the investment tag and even then its only worth early

[serene forge]

gold stake rentals are really bad for it too

[winged bolt]

wait is sigil fully rng or is there anyway to influence what suit you get?

[idle haven]

Rng

[alpine halo]

ah okay so coupon gets worse the higher stake you are because of joker conditions

[idle haven]

So if you want hearts

Just dont risk your current hearts

[winged bolt]

fair enough

[alpine halo]

would it have been worth it to take d6 + investment tag?

[final briar]

i think coupon tag is fine if you're willing to restart runs aggressively if the free shop sucks

[sweet bramble]

d6 isnt really worth it

[bleak blaze]

Obelisk deniers in shambles

[idle haven]

Flush is best hand for casual runs

High card is best for serious runs

[shell dagger]

d6 is also pretty bad

[idle haven]

Anything else is stupid

[sweet bramble]

Pre blue stake definitely but anything past that mehhh

You can make anything work but if youre forcing wins flush isnt amazing

[serene forge]

no

[potent tree]

if i discard a debuffed card with trading card active, will the card not be destroyed

[white zodiac]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[idle haven]

I've tried everythign and cant beat plasma blue deck

[white zodiac]

mhm

[serene forge]

d6 is probably the worst tag in the entire game

lol

[serene forge]

it is destroyed

[potent tree]

flash card:

[alpine halo]

ohhh thanks that makes a lot of sense

[potent tree]

oh cool it worked

[serene forge]

no lol

[last spade]

Is there real life balatro playing cards?

[serene forge]

you skipped a blind to get that tag

[alpine halo]

really?

[sweet bramble]

Thats like buying $300 worth of lottery tickets and your total winnings being $301

[restive plover]

this was the silliest blue stake win ever

[hybrid tendon]

bloodstone if it didn't change

[winged bolt]

oh hello midas mask

[white zodiac]

you're not skipping if youre fucking poor lol

[serene forge]

i mean you can

but not for d6 lmfao

[sweet bramble]

🙏

[opal delta]

hi

[white zodiac]

yeah that's what I meant

[restive plover]

red card 57 groker 35 pants 52 and two foil squares with 172 chips each

sooo silly funny

[sweet bramble]

should i do it gang 😈

[robust lance]

small ass blinds lmao

[earnest pelican]

This was a silly one lol

[sweet bramble]

Superposition is fun as hell but my iq is in the negatives

[tranquil cargo]

joke's on the ox, you're about to play a bulwark

[sweet bramble]

[unreal saffron]

Anybody have any tips for Black Deck? I’m tryna Gold stake it but I can’t manage to beat Purple Stake

[sweet bramble]

Patience and luck

[tranquil cargo]

don't be afraid to take a bad eternal joker

[sweet bramble]

Black deck is evil

[unreal saffron]

Black deck is very evil

[tranquil cargo]

eternal riff-raff on black deck is actually goated

[unreal saffron]

Should I mainly focus on getting Jokers since I have that +1?

[tranquil cargo]

yes, scoring jokers and econ are what you need

[sweet bramble]

Its just all about getting awesome jokers early so you dont die

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[opal delta]

lots of people dont like bloodstone

[tranquil cargo]

skong is right for once, don't take bloodstone

bloodstone is bad on black deck (and any other deck, even checkered)

[sweet bramble]

Sorry I can't read Im taking bloostone

[unreal saffron]

Should I focus on Jokers like Photograph or like the standard +mult and xmult jokers

[tranquil cargo]

I'm not sure what focusing on jokers like photograph means

if you don't see a photograph you can't make one appear

[unreal saffron]

Played and scored card

[opal delta]

photograph is only good if you get sock or hanging chad honestly

[serene forge]

focusing on jokers is how you lose in this game

[white zodiac]

for once

has said it hundreds of times

[sweet bramble]

Photograph on its own is mehhhh yeah

[tranquil cargo]

take whatever decent scoring jokers you can find

[serene forge]

you should use what the game tells you to

which usually is standard +mult and xmult but not always

[tranquil cargo]

sometimes it's great stuff like fibonacci or pants, sometimes it's meh stuff like jimbo or jolly joker

[opal delta]

I usually play two pair with fibonacci but that might just be me

[serene forge]

i play pair

[sweet bramble]

I play six of a kind

[serene forge]

i play flush four

[white zodiac]

jokers and certain poker hands that let you survive the early game regardless of late game build restrictions

[sweet bramble]

flush one

[tranquil cargo]

instructions unclear, played 1 stone card

[robust lance]

was curious and decided to test, works with abandoned too

[sweet bramble]

flush

two

[robust lance]

dude wee would pop the fuck off here

[tranquil cargo]

does that combo (diplopia+erratic) work the same the other way?

sometimes deck/sleeve order matters, such as with violet and plasma

[robust lance]

idk i dont have diplopia sleeve

i didnt tick the "have unlocked anyway" box

or something

[white zodiac]

u doing alright

been real quiet lately

[vocal cedar]

any tips for abandoned deck?

[white zodiac]

fh has more os combinations r1

[sweet bramble]

Cards like ride the bus are so aweosme

[white zodiac]

consider value cards

[vocal cedar]

oh snit true

[white zodiac]

this applies for decks outside of abandoned

[thorny onyx]

first win i got the game a bit ago the only reason i won was because i had level 8 pair and lvl 8 high card lmao

[sweet bramble]

Thats true but especially on abandoned you wont be backed into a corner and forced to reset past blue stake

[white zodiac]

of all my thousand hours of playing the game on gs, I've never ran into a situation where I was forced to crash my bus

[unreal saffron]

Nice man

[urban sun]

the one time cano actuallys works

[sweet bramble]

I should note that im not that amazing at the game

[white zodiac]

o

[manic talon]

REROLL TAG MY GOAT

[urban sun]

why is ancient joker, castle, and the tribe still on my list 😭

[tender hill]

Its time to open this game for the second time

I barely got time to play it the first time

[potent tree]

i have discovered the power of trading card

[white zodiac]

well logic still applies. abandoned has a very small deck so you take advantage of finding specific cards and poker hands more frequently where you otherwise couldn't outside of abandoned. ie blue seals, gold, rebate targets, etc

[winged bolt]

bros do i ecto the photo

[urban sun]

we all love trading card

[frank shard]

Thanks for your consideration but I’m doing just fine

[robust lance]

blueker popping off

he's almost at stuntman level

[urban sun]

i think stuntmans sick

[tender hill]

Eh this game cant be that good

Its just roguelike poker

[tranquil cargo]

surprise, it's good

[sweet bramble]

We've all said that at some point

[tender hill]

Im gonna play this for 30 mins

[sweet bramble]

4 hours later

[ripe iris]

you will not be sleeping tonight unfortunately

[tender hill]

why

I have school tomorrow

[ripe iris]

you close your eyes

and see nothing but balatro

you may try to sleep

but it will haunt your dreams

and no matter what

it will find you

in the middle of the night

[sweet bramble]

ive had stress dreams about the game sometimes 😭

[ripe iris]

and you will not escape it

[manic talon]

photochad if it was underwhelming

[robust lance]

finally found it
and yup its implemented correctly

[tender hill]

FUCK i lost

[sweet bramble]

The game is pretty hard at first, keep trying, all of us have a trillion hours here lol

[serene forge]

canio according to r/balatro users be like:

[robust lance]

this gives me an idea

[sweet bramble]

Whos saying this about my baby girl canio

[viral raft]

any joker that isn't from baron/photochad builds is just F tier to the Redditor

[tranquil cargo]

actually I guess it becomes much thinner than abandoned, at a rate of about 1.3 cards removed per round

[robust lance]

damn ok

r/balala users playing their joker poker

[sweet bramble]

something something eggs basket

[idle epoch]

You misspelled "every balatro player"

[silk raptor]

The joy I felt on gold stake with a ride the bus coming across the plant and having it do nothing

[left juniper]

That's why making builds to only beat Ante 8 is a lot more fun. Anything works

[tranquil cargo]

r/balatro users encountering blueprint in a shop and having to ask reddit what to sell for it for the 5th time that day

[cosmic sun]

saw someone get scared of verdant leaf yesterday and the screenshot was all scoring on jokers

[left juniper]

On the flip side becaue it's not exclusive to reddit. It make me angy when people send cropped screenshots missing context and are like. "Should I take this joker?"

[idle epoch]

Be balatro player
Have a deck full of cards that are only there to play hc
Verdant leaf shows up
"Uhm guys I might be cooked"
Is in fact pleasantly surprised to be not

[silk raptor]

Yea I had this exact thing happen yesterday lmao (I didn’t sell a joker I just didn’t buy a sixth after antimatter yet)

[sweet bramble]

be balatro player
play balatro

what went so wrong?

[silk raptor]

It was ghost deck the eternal ride the bus was the first joker pickup and hexed

[crystal field]

bbc 🫶

[cosmic sun]

endless brain

[silk raptor]

Then I hexed an eternal burnt joker too lol

[wintry ice]

they should change verdant leaf to debuff everything

[idle epoch]

"Just one more round"
That round is either the CRAZIEST round you've ever played or the most painful

[sweet bramble]

they should add a boss that closes your game if you have photochad

[silk raptor]

All jokers debuffed instead of all cards debuffed would be an interesting change on a higher stake

[shut quartz]

chat help

[barren wigeon]

that would be almost impossible

well no

just really hard

[silk raptor]

Not if it kept you having to just sell a joker or smth

[barren wigeon]

or do you mean all jokers debuffed until one sold

[silk raptor]

That yeah

[shut quartz]

what doooo

[wintry ice]

it would be an easier crimson heart

[silk raptor]

Wouldn’t really be hard though ig you’d just have some garbage joker or a random nat negative possibly

[manic talon]

debuff everything including the boss blind

[ripe iris]

is trib just dagger food atp

[wintry ice]

i'd sell photo or chad

[crystal field]

yummy tribulet

[barren wigeon]

why would trib ever be dagger food

[crystal field]

+20 mult

[barren wigeon]

what could the build possibly be

[ripe iris]

no way in hell im ever using him and he has 10 sell value

[cursive prairie]

lol

[ripe iris]

pair spam

[cursive prairie]

in the last hand

[ripe iris]

trib will be useless

[barren wigeon]

ughhhh

laaame

[crystal field]

no daggeris better than trib

[ripe iris]

say what you want but it wins me runs

[crystal field]

and more exciting

[barren wigeon]

winning runs is lame as shit

[ripe iris]

winning is fun, losing isn't. end of story

[crystal field]

also we are currently sitting at 115/150

[barren wigeon]

if you want to win runs just spam photochad brainlessly

[silk raptor]

stuntman + mime 👀

we love synergy here

[foggy sun]

idk what this run is but im here for it

[crystal field]

the jokers do be negative

[ripe iris]

i need stuntman for chips and mime is good bc i have gold and blue seals

[barren wigeon]

its a lot more fun to lose with a fun build than it is to win with a lame one

[barren wigeon]

when the jokers come out negative

[ripe iris]

maybe for you

[crystal field]

disagree because the fun builds are the ones that win

[barren wigeon]

yes, the gold seal mime synergy as everyone knows

[ripe iris]

dont enforce your beliefs on me

[barren wigeon]

why is bro so pressed

[ripe iris]

i mean gold cards and blue seals

[foggy sun]

I would have much more fun with a vamp plus midas mask build than a baron mime so u right

[barren wigeon]

take a chill pill

[ripe iris]

not pressed just asking him to respect me playing the builds that win me games

[barren wigeon]

add a golden ticket for PRIME synergy

[barren wigeon]

no

[sweet bramble]

le hardest boss...

[barren wigeon]

dont wanna

booorinng

[foggy sun]

Not neccesary for the build but still tuff. Plus we got other bangers like certificate holo

[crystal field]

the PWANTTT

NYOOO

[foggy sun]

cause I love certifcate. its like top 5 joker imo

[barren wigeon]

[silk raptor]

where’s the pareidolia!

[barren wigeon]

me but supernova

[crystal field]

certificate is goated asf

[barren wigeon]

or runner

[crystal field]

one of the few perishables worth taking

[barren wigeon]

or shortcut

[ripe iris]

do i take the merry andy for minimum mime synergy

[barren wigeon]

i like shortcut

[crystal field]

yes

[foggy sun]

supernova is also goated. Love a reliable scaling + mult joker.

[silk raptor]

wym it’s great synergy you gotta find those blue seals

[barren wigeon]

my favorite scaling +mult even if grimbo is probably the best

[ripe iris]

im not using discards bc of delayed grat and grimbo

[crystal field]

with 5 card draws?

[silk raptor]

keep the delayed gratification for even better synergy

(this was a joke)

[crystal field]

oh ok

[foggy sun]

Yeah. grimbo is better because the mult can transfer if u pivot later on. but like. supernova doesnt punish discards

[crystal field]

sometimes balatro is just like. here. win idgaf

[foggy sun]

red card on yellow deck. lowkey drooling

[tender hill]

YES I WON

LETS FUCKING GO

[tranquil steppe]

lol I was thinking the same thing. Dagger is super overrated

[sweet bramble]

found wee just too late in the run

[silk raptor]

I love the balance between grimbo supernova and bus since like they all do the same thing but there’s on specific caveat to each one (can’t discard, can’t switch hand types, can’t play face cards)

[cursive prairie]

baron in wraith

[tender hill]

I UNDERSTAND IT NOW

[crystal field]

highkey we getting some stickares

[foggy sun]

Its so cool how localthunk made it so they all are good but u have to play around it

[sweet bramble]

welcome to the cult @tender hill

[foggy sun]

plus if its anti 1 u lose out on early game econ to build them up

so thats another caveat

[tender hill]

cult

wth

[silk raptor]

I know yeah the game is so incredibly well balanced if you understand where your strength is coming from. Makes it more interesting than endless where it’s only really idol or baron and even then idol falls off

[tranquil cargo]

and even with baron, eventually naneinf falls off

[cursive prairie]

BRO

WTF

[tranquil steppe]

We praise Lord Canio

[cursive prairie]

FIRST ARCANA PACK

[foggy sun]

Yeah all the jokers are actually solid in an ante 8 run. There is no joker I wouldnt use (except for loyalty card, that thing needs a buff)

[sweet bramble]

Please chicot..

[barren wigeon]

pre chicot

[cursive prairie]

should i pick temperance?

lol

[crystal field]

hugeness

[foggy sun]

temperance because +0 dollar is better than chicot

[silk raptor]

worst case it’s still +$10 future value for temperance

[foggy sun]

(even tho chicot is the goat of ante 8 runs)

[wintry ice]

the sample in question:

[cursive prairie]

should i buy that shit?

[stark karma]

is weiner the move?

[foggy sun]

less synergies. yes go for it

[tranquil cargo]

if you're referring to hanged man, absolutely

[barren wigeon]

if youre referring to hung men, yes

[wintry ice]

i'd take hanged man

[silk raptor]

I’d buy the hanged man to get canio scaling tbh

[barren wigeon]

if you are not, absolutely do not

[stark karma]

a little akward with bus but its chips

[tender hill]

i deadass dont know what im doing

But im winning

[cursive prairie]

i need pareidolia

[white zodiac]

hey google remind me to update my list of shame in 30 minutes

[cursive prairie]

and gg

[tranquil steppe]

Wow you basically already won

[barren wigeon]

how is wee awkward with bus

[tender hill]

Someone give me a quick explanation of this

[wintry ice]

you can probably sustain the double rental with how insane rebate is

[cursive prairie]

why

[foggy sun]

That is so me. when I first got the game. I didnt take negatives because I thought it would have some secret downside

[barren wigeon]

you have a cavendish that can scale

[silk raptor]

Acquire money, fix deck, get jokers, number go big

[tender hill]

okay

[tranquil steppe]

Uh because your setup is phenomenal and canio is about to be X3 at least already

[barren wigeon]

anyways how we feelin

[cursive prairie]

guys i lose i think

[barren wigeon]

no fucking way you fumbled that badly

[tranquil steppe]

Money is optional

[tranquil cargo]

remember: the shadow realm is a real place where you will be sent if you lose a run (and then you'll have to wait for someone to hit a 0.3% chance to free your soul)

[cursive prairie]

XD

[wintry ice]

glass jokee in almost never

[barren wigeon]

WHY WOULD YOU TAKE PHOTO

[barren wigeon]

not a fan

[tender hill]

Okay so i know one thing

[barren wigeon]

i dont be glassing

[tender hill]

If you put number in order

Gives more points

[wintry ice]

glass joker is good xmult

[barren wigeon]

ok

good for it

I dont wanna

[wintry ice]

it's consistent lucky cat

[silk raptor]

Dagger over obelisk, I know I’m being rage baited but I can’t prove it

[crystal field]

should I buy these guys? it will allow me to get out of superposition and also potentially duo

[tranquil cargo]

glass joker doesn't actually need the glass to break from being glass

[barren wigeon]

do you see the name of the obelisk tier

[cursive prairie]

thank u canio

[tranquil cargo]

you can just get hanged man or trading card and do it yourself

[crystal field]

canio stinks

[white zodiac]

putting you on my red seal list

[silk raptor]

oh okay just not for you

[barren wigeon]

thanks

[barren wigeon]

im too stupid to obelisk

[foggy sun]

giftcard is insane if u dont have 5 jokers/a free slot. its econ that keeps paying off well after its sold

[white zodiac]

I wouldn't thank me

[silk raptor]

I don’t understand how people can genuinely hate obelisk like you just look at the number and play something else

[barren wigeon]

but I like red seals

[tender hill]

what do i do bruh

[barren wigeon]

i dont be gift carding

[white zodiac]

I associate red seals as stinkers

[wintry ice]

but my flush build...

[barren wigeon]

why

[foggy sun]

just move on, hold money. since u have a jimbo. u can win the boss blind

[tender hill]

Do i buy penis

[barren wigeon]

what if you have onyx agate

[tranquil cargo]

r/balatro users: a rare joker must be immediately useful to me or else it is garbage
also r/balatro users: ante 1 blueprint, easy win

[unreal island]

going all in on one hand is a pretty common strat for new players like flushspam

[silk raptor]

I pivoted exactly out of that with only 9 flushes played when I found an ante 4 obelisk and won the run lol

[tender hill]

Nvm i read that wrong

[unreal island]

or even pairspam with no pivot

[tender hill]

It said venus

[barren wigeon]

and you get red seal flush

[unreal island]

also a heavy reliance on planets

[wintry ice]

save money

[unreal island]

notably for chips

[tender hill]

Ok

[white zodiac]

consistency purposes

[tender hill]

Alright

[barren wigeon]

double the chips

double the fun

[tender hill]

Its time for boss blind

Wish me luck

[foggy sun]

Alright we got a straight

[barren wigeon]

i like hands

[heady narwhal]

what am i even doing here

[cursive prairie]

w start

[wintry ice]

it's understandable with scaling mult builds

[foggy sun]

why did u take the rare skip

[terse dock]

Troub lets you draw hands easier

[foggy sun]

especially on black deck

[barren wigeon]

ok but it gives me less hands

[tender hill]

My score is 456

[silk raptor]

Overstock my beloved

[wintry ice]

dna on black deck more like

dni

[terse dock]

So does ride the bus

[tender hill]

Squid game reference?

[barren wigeon]

ride the bus gives me scaling mult

[cursive prairie]

cause is a w start

[barren wigeon]

troubador gives me 2 hand size

scaling mult > 2 hand size

[foggy sun]

I think its good if u have things like gold cards, and blue seals. because U can hold them without as punishing things yk

[barren wigeon]

and ride the bus isnt losing a hand

you get +1 mult

[silk raptor]

what will you copy with the DNA is the better question

[wintry ice]

the w strat of getting a joker that's an active detriment early on!!!

[tender hill]

Yess i beat the boss blind

[foggy sun]

but. like early on. scoring is far more important than convience

[terse dock]

And troub gives you seals, gold/steels, and more draw

[cursive prairie]

sweat | .gg/Y3aJfqzh7w

[terse dock]

You're playing too narrowly

[barren wigeon]

ok but i get less hands

i like hands

why would i want less of something i like

[terse dock]

You dont need hands you have money from gold and score easier with either 4oak or more steel

[barren wigeon]

duh

[terse dock]

I see

[barren wigeon]

but I want hands

[icy hollow]

Bloodstone too high

[terse dock]

Its bait

[barren wigeon]

its in sometimes dawg

[barren wigeon]

no

[icy hollow]

Yea

[barren wigeon]

i just dont like trobadoob

[icy hollow]

Thats too high

[barren wigeon]

bloodstone got me my gold stake

[terse dock]

Then youre too dense for your own good

[barren wigeon]

cant put it that low

[crystal field]

i dont think I can beat eye should I heiroglyph

[barren wigeon]

calling someone dense for not liking a joker in a game is reddit behavior

[tender hill]

just let people play the game the way they wanna play it

[white zodiac]

says the person making a raunchy tier list assaulting my eyesight

[fading dome]

green joker and space joker seem a tad high

[icy hollow]

😭 🙏 wtf

[barren wigeon]

green joker????

[tender hill]

people getting mad over an opinion

[barren wigeon]

HIGH????

[vale jetty]

Most unique joker line up I’ve had to win so far

[terse dock]

Im not calling you dense because you dont like troub im calling you dense because you keep repeating the same argument and treat me like a fool

[tender hill]

anything i should buy orrr

[barren wigeon]

best scaling mult in the game

[fading dome]

talk to the pants

[barren wigeon]

youre kind of acting like a fool because youre getting a little steamed about it

take a chill pill

[heady narwhal]

this is so funny

[terse dock]

Steamed hams perhaps

[barren wigeon]

pants < grimbo

[terse dock]

Maybe steamed clams

[heady narwhal]

i think i might survive with the justice and chariot and 2 pair but like

[barren wigeon]

she grim on my bo till I +1 mult when hand -1 mult when discard

[barren wigeon]

"erm this is statistically incorrect" ok but which one has a cool nickname

[terse dock]

NO

[white zodiac]

what are you talking about

[terse dock]

The fellow's baiting

[blissful cedar]

I love that manga man and thanks for the codes

[barren wigeon]

grimbo > spants or whatever the stupid nickname would be

[unreal island]

seance is perfectly balanced btw it just sucks in nature

[silk raptor]

grimbo scales with any hand and pants only scale with two pair which isn’t reliable to hit for every hand early on but surely I’m just not good enough at discarding

[rough valley]

me and my buddies were playing a while back on the apple tv (which is insane that it exists) and had the greatest straight flush run of all time and now it brings me so much joy

[tranquil cargo]

why do they look so weird?

[barren wigeon]

aaaand I just got spare trousers

[wintry ice]

pants lets you use discards more often

[terse dock]

Throw an extra card away with your duos

[barren wigeon]

well im gonna take it but I won't be happy

[unreal island]

the goat

[steel chasm]

Hell yea

[barren wigeon]

the bar is quite low

[fading dome]

imagine being able to use discards with a faster scaling joker, that'd be crazy

[unreal island]

hell yea devil card

take pack and devil

[silk raptor]

never said pants are bad

[tender hill]

Why black specifically??

[white zodiac]

you're gonna get beat with those numbers

[unreal island]

one of ur grades is under a 95 this is unacceptable

[silk raptor]

grimbo just more reliable scaling early

[terse dock]

Scales with ankh

[unreal island]

i think you should derail your life and play balatro 24/7

[tranquil cargo]

look at this photograph

[fading dome]

I'm getting baited like a fish in this chat smh

[barren wigeon]

grimbo looks cooler

Waiter, more xmult jokers please

[quartz flicker]

nah. just got screwed over during a naninf earlier. i picked up a lucky cat and paid my tributes to it before losing

[foggy sun]

incantation is lowkey an ok choice. yeah it bloats ur deck. but it can generate a gold card, and other valuable things

[terse dock]

bread tastes better than key

[white zodiac]

it was a manga panel crop lol

[barren wigeon]

ok but which one is cool and green and which one is lame and orange

[unreal island]

ankh the golden tbh

[white zodiac]

it was hilarious

[shell dagger]

piecewise weierstrass then a^x looks like

[lunar zealot]

Ello ello

[terse dock]

You know what else can create a gold card

[white zodiac]

2 > 1

[unreal island]

also im telling yall early familiar is so fucking good

[minor portal]

sorry, did you say certificate?

[tender hill]

I thought that said green dick lmao

[foggy sun]

Grim is better imo. because it will always be aces it can generate more value. even if Aces arent as good as face cards

[terse dock]

thats a gold seal

get better

[white zodiac]

someone told me

[shell dagger]

valid

[minor portal]

I don't believe you.

[tender hill]

gahdamn this too easy

[unreal island]

eh i find that a few strengths do the trick

[white zodiac]

what does the dock have anything to do with this

[cursive prairie]

[shell dagger]

93 is in the highest band in my uni wtf

22 point scale

[tender hill]

Should i buy that last joker

[white zodiac]

what happened to the plasma streak

[tender hill]

Its in my shop rn

[foggy sun]

This is also true. but very early on. if i get a spectral between familiar and grim. I'll take the grim for ease of convience

[quartz flicker]

had to pay my tributes to the lucky cat

[icy hollow]

Ante 2 round 1 💔

[silk raptor]

Well now that rare skip doesn’t look so bad

[cursive prairie]

i used the rare skip

[white zodiac]

wtf
i never took band

[cursive prairie]

2 more skips?

[foggy sun]

the fact u made it through the boss blind on black deck without scoring is lucky

[shell dagger]

hmmmm

[heady narwhal]

i accidentally pressed cash out here and i think it's really funny that even with this much deckfixing, fortune teller was only at +18

[silk raptor]

Balatro isn’t about gambling but it sure does encourage you to go into debt

[heady narwhal]

comically bad joker

[quartz flicker]

gotta get those naninfs

[cursive prairie]

OU YEAH

[minor portal]

Keep skipping

[cursive prairie]

wraith, right?

[minor portal]

the only blinds you should ever play are the boss blinds

[foggy sun]

I mean. ngl is it noob of me to think the credit card would be a viable pick in THIS scenario if it werent eternal. ofc its stupid ik. but...

[heady narwhal]

make sure to use hex second for the chance to get the polychrome on blueprint!! follow for more balatro tips

[white zodiac]

that's not impressive though, you could just get that whenever

[crystal field]

red card almost +100

[minor portal]

skipping is not detrimental in any way possible

[tender hill]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1352790481284763780/1399192992937541673/squish.webp

[cursive prairie]

lol

[crystal field]

EURHMMM

[silk raptor]

but have you considered that it’s really funny

[quartz flicker]

i cant tho. i suck

[rough valley]

the sad thing about this is that red card will never get to hit 100. it will get close then skip right over. really says a lot about our society.

[tender hill]

Imma goon to balatro (jkjk)

[white zodiac]

accepted a challenge and didn't bother to work on it 💔

ok

[silk raptor]

then you can do that vagabond credit card “synergy” people talk about

[minor portal]

-1 hand

[tender hill]

LMAO

[rough valley]

the only important metric btw

[quartz flicker]

i already lost. i clicked 4 cards when trying to play a flush lol

[cursive prairie]

guys, keep skiping?

[white zodiac]

i
you can start over

[minor portal]

yeah, for sure

[silk raptor]

[cursive prairie]

money farming

high card

[dire crater]

Ok, if you use death on a forced card both cards will always be selected

[trim rover]

Speaking of skipping, do we do it chat

[tranquil cargo]

using it the other way doesn't remove the forced selection though

[rough valley]

learned this on a high card run and my heart was broken

[trim rover]

Do we do it

[silk raptor]

this is true? TIL I guess

[tepid perch]

legendary nat negative

[tender hill]

NOOOOOO

I LOST

NOO

WHY

[cursive prairie]

NOOOOOO

[tender hill]

HOW

[cursive prairie]

I LOST

[tender hill]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[dire crater]

Im playing double driving license

[tranquil cargo]

nah it's a common

[minor portal]

sure! skip everything!

[dire crater]

Whats til

[trim rover]

Nah bro do i actually

[silk raptor]

“Today I learned”

[robust lance]

ruh roh... i think the world is gonna EXPLODE if i get to this blind...

[rough valley]

they call that the fake id run where i'm from

[quartz flicker]

bit too inconsistent when only going for chips. so i admit that gold stake runs are too inconsistent when going for only chips

[white zodiac]

[robust lance]

also this build FUCKING is okay i guess

[foggy sun]

Ok so lets go over all the downsides of skipping. Scaling jokers like grimbo miss out on one round of scaling. Blue seals, purples, and golds all also miss out on value. We also miss out on cash out money (interest, extra hands/discards where applicable). oh yeah, and an entire shop too. some tags are worth taking (investment in ante 1) but other than that. The cons far outway the pros

[dire crater]

Mclovin?

What a stupid name

[tepid perch]

bruh nvm I hate this game

[quartz flicker]

photoweechad is fire bro

[trim rover]

But hear me out. Skip one blind and get a negative blueprint or brainstorm

[minor portal]

yeah but have you considered negative skip tag

[trim rover]

skill isse

[dire crater]

Whats the name of driver licence run

I have 2

[rough valley]

50/50 odds too. it happens or it doesnt

[quick solar]

y ou had $26 left to find a luchador

[white zodiac]

so in that sense plasma isnt good due to high variance in shops, scoring, and boss blind difficulties

mmm

[cursive prairie]

i lost by 130 points

[foggy sun]

overall its still bad in most decks. only deck I would consider it is that one that generates double tags. and thats because that deck is all about skipping and balanced towards it

[white zodiac]

how about I give you a seed to work with instead for time sake

[unreal island]

me when reroll is 27 dollars

[lunar zealot]

FUCK MADNESS

[cursive prairie]

bro i hate this deck so much

[foggy sun]

most of the time. it will give u a negative that wont help u in the slightest

[trim rover]

ok but get a negative blueprint or smth smh

[minor portal]

whatever you say pal

[quick solar]

sell showman and blueprint

[cursive prairie]

keep skiping guys?

[white zodiac]

I'll pass

[trim rover]

rare tag, maybe

[solemn saffron]

I forgot I had reroll voucher and rolled down for vagabond

[foggy sun]

well in that case. its insane. but thats only in seeded runs (or if your just that lucky)

[minor portal]

Arcana pack has soul card

[robust lance]

nothing happens

[cursive prairie]

bro how did u know

[robust lance]

i just draw 3

[trim rover]

if you dont get that everytime you're jst skill issued obviously

all skill involved

[foggy sun]

Maybe its also because I never take negative skips 🤔

[trim rover]

exactly

that explains it

[dire crater]

Lista de tareas xd

[foggy sun]

oh I just remembered what my discord user is to everyone \

yeah its very silly 💀

[trim rover]

yeah we all see it and are silently judging it

[cursive prairie]

flush with red or blue

[cursive prairie]

jeje

[trim rover]

blue all day

[rough valley]

the more you take negative skips the better they are
always remember the drawing of the two guys mining when you play balatro

[foggy sun]

yeah. sounds about right. its an inside joke ):

[cursive prairie]

bro i hate u

i was going with red

[lunar zealot]

Yeah you should change that

[minor portal]

oh it's an inside joke alright

[tender hill]

So do i lose my joker cards every time i lose a run

[dire crater]

I got hanging chad, should i sell smth?

[foggy sun]

ok yeah. I might consider it in future runs (only on decks that are naturally strong and can handle it)

[cursive prairie]

L start?

[white zodiac]

moment

[trim rover]

i never said what my goal was, maybe I meant that to happen

;)

[rough valley]

this wins btw

[tender hill]

So do i lose my joker cards every time i lose a run

[cursive prairie]

te voy a cagar a trompadas

[dire crater]

I got hanging chad, should i sell smth?

[foggy sun]

I'd sell throwback because realistically why would u want to have it other than to skip more (which is kind of bad)

[lunar zealot]

Yes goodbye throwback

[foggy sun]

...

[stark karma]

and that folks

is how you do it

[dire crater]

[trim rover]

gg

[foggy sun]

thats lowkey tuff.

[rough valley]

throwback unless its above 3x then license

[lunar zealot]

no +mult?

[stark karma]

sold it

shouldnt have

but did lol

[lunar zealot]

You asked a question and are mad you got an answer

[honest dawn]

I created the account two days ago and I've already made a gold stake on a blue and red deck.

[dire crater]

Wich one, i have 2 licenses (dont tell police)

[foggy sun]

U dont need plus mult if u have lots of x mult. or just high planet levels

[stark karma]

it was an act of hubris selling my 24+ rtb

[cursive prairie]

bro u are so good

[white zodiac]

kami why is baseball card good again i forgot

[rough valley]

the real one

[lunar zealot]

don't even joke lad

[stark karma]

wee at 460

obelisk at 5.4x

[white zodiac]

but this is balatro

[lunar zealot]

Small wee

[foggy sun]

baseball is good because its x mult that is relatively easy to hit.

[lunar zealot]

large obelisk

[trim rover]

I have like 100 hours and my best deck is purple stake, keep it up 😭

[stark karma]

rickety ahhh obelisk

[lunar zealot]

A good wee should be at least like 600 chips

Assuming you get chad at any point in the run

and chad is common

[stark karma]

I did but it was bad

[lunar zealot]

Sad

bad chad

[stark karma]

bad chad
