nah
i meant 4 antes
since u had 3-4 negatives as u said
u probably got it around ante 3-4
which means skipping a shop
and scaling opportunites
which could have crippled ur run
for worthless negatives
No i think i skipped twice that run, once for econ probably a bit earlier on or smt else
it still came
PLEASE I NEED HELP ANYONE
still proves my point that u skipped a shop + scaling opportunity in blind
depending on ur jokers
etc
One shop for a couple negatives js not that bad a trade
At that point i genuinely cares more abr getting cool stickers than beating ghe run
rip
random negatives that dont help ur build
🤔
if ur econ is so good as u say
one shop for a couple negatives is a pretty bad trade especially considering in-run stickers
u can reroll and get a lot of value
CAUSE I WANTED FLIPPIN STICKERS 😭 god dayum
sorry u have such great econ!
this is why i dont play anaglyph for C++
In order to get cool stickers you have to beat the run...
And i did later :3
Like 2 tries later
ah cool
id rather get 1-2 stickers a run on a more consistent deck than beat anaglyph 1/3 of the time with 3+ stickers a time
yellow or ghost are the best for stickers imo
I think the primary arguments for anaglyph for C++ shouldn't be negative tag anyway
or at least in my experience
i should start a new save file and try and get c++
Please.... Is there anything I can do?
see how many runs it takes me
if u dont have a lot of stickers yet i can see the arguement
but yeah anaglyph will just get u dupe negatives
usually
guys use black deck for C++ 
I was goldstaking anaglyph for the first time sis, i just wanted to make it count
The earlier i get tons of stickers the better, i got 5 on my win
ghost for rares and anaglyph for uncommons, but thats about it
:( it's the same way my Trib run died
2-3 negatives per win on average
if u have high base mult on a hand
Powerspikes from econ tags, levels, even just playing anaglyph deck as a normal deck are all far more compelling to me than negatives
it’s not that many
But I think Ghost is just the best for it
Like 25 :(
Pretty strong, very easy, huge powerspikes
u also need to find a negative skip
i think if ur at the end of the run and u see a negative skip and need a lot of stickers and u know u win theres nothing wrong w taking the skip
Even Ecto if you want
in the first place
the chance of that is included
i still dont think ghost is that good for C++, zodiac/yellow/abandoned have been much more impactful for C++ progress than anaglyph or ghost ever have in my experience
plasma…
yeah i was getting like 3 stickers per run thanks to ecto on ghost when i first started grinding stickers
I recently took an econ tag on Anaglyph and I spent most if not all the money I gained on rerolls. Sure enough, I eventually did find a Joker I hadn't gold stickered yet
w that said i never negative skipped once and got c++ just fine
Ahh this is EXACTLY the hypothetical I was talking about this morning.
Now do I take Hologram, or do I open the buffoon pack??
buffoon pack
crafty
Theres nothing better thsn finding ecto on a high card build
actually yeah crafty
this lowk kinda sucks
since u wanna be like using steels and blue seals
high card builds are high card builds instead of pair builds bc of the in hand effects
Not always
except if you’re playing stuntman
i mean usually thats why i go high card
I can see Zodiac and Abandoned, maybe Yellow just as a generic good deck but I think Blue does that too with a bit of upside in 4oak glass pivots late
But in fairness at that point it's splitting hairs
the reason you go high card is if you have stuntman in lobotomy or if you have stm/fist/baron, otherwise you go pairs
well yeah besides stuntman
Or just scale high card and have good + x mult...
@shell dagger @fickle mesa crafty really?? But hologram just looks sooo enticing ☹️
hologram is rly good if u dont die
take holo if you want
but u might
I still go Pairs even if I have Stuntman lol
high card scales worse than pairs, why would I run high card over pairs there
i completed c++ (or like my last 80-100 stickers) all on ghost in like a little less then 2 days
i think crafty is the safer pick for maintaining a streak but it is so much less fun
i think ghost is really good but we all have our own opinion
meanwhile crafty lets u survive and u can probably find smth roughly as good as the hologram later when u need it
thats suboptimal i think, given youre not going to draw pairs anywhere near as much with 6 handsize
omg
Bc u dont always pick what ur run gives u
bait 
Im genuinely happy running any hand type
plus the big advantage for pairs vs hc is that pairs scale chips faster
Straight flush only on checkered or smear runs tho
@hasty harness good bait
and stuntman sorta has ur chips covered at least pre blue seal
if you’re in the situation where you can play a high card build like that, when would it be worse to play pairs?
its still bait i tell you!
im saying that i wouldnt run high card over pairs in that scenario if i was given the option
that cheeky baron wont fool me
I will take crafty and see what happens
you can’t force what the game gives you, but the games already given you it

bait <-----
me
If u have super bad hand size, if ur relying on tons of in hand effects, or if u just want to max out supernova
the plant strikes again
I mean me neither
you said "Or just scale high card and have good + x mult...", which if youre applying that argument to this statement then youre not logically consistent
Hate plant!
ty negative skip
nice
it was bait
im 2 streak painted?? weird
popcorn in ante 6??????????????
Well yeah but obv if ur relying on only ur jokers , high card isnt bad
Thats what i said u dont always pick , if u get the conditions for a high card build , no reason to not go
am i a painted deck expert after all
on a baron build????????
How?
they must have eaten it before the show even started
bad scoree
high card absolutely is still worse if youre just relying on your jokers for scoring
baron tends to be bad
How did you lose with so many kings and a baron
conditions of a high card build aren’t “have a good + x mult” that’s a pair run
baron is bait what a surprise
its good if ur playing on the easiest difficulty trying to do a certain glitch
he just found baron rn so he prob didnt have the base mult from whatever hand
he was playing
Oh
but like for a gold stake run? not very powerful
Makes sense Ig
Lmao lost to the hook first boss blind
it is the most dangerous
not 100% sure just a guess
cuz thats a LOT of kings
so im assuming it was like lv 1 highcard or smthin
Worse than pairs yeah but u dont always have a choice
What if for example ur deck is rlly cluttered due to holo and u have smt like ecto lessening ur handsize
lol
hallucination, blue joker, sly joker, half joker, and glass joker
but holo wouldn’t have saved u there 🙁 maybe the buffoon has holographic riffraff
glass joker is fun
why would u take the ecto in this situation but also yeah pairs can kinda work here
I love glsss joker so much 🤤
“what if i misplay” essentially
What if u dont get them consistently enough
pairs are almost completely unaffected by deck bloat
i don’t take ecto
and ur not rly pivoting when ur deck is super cluttered
u can still play pairs prob even if u take ecto
If u got holo then i dont see a problem
ur luck to not draw a pair even with that little handsize
I do agree holo was not the right pick, bad habit I’m trying pry myself away from, almost always lose when I spend all cash on holo first shop
is pretty bad
Yeah
Trust me ive had insanely bad luck before
So sorrry i dont trust the game to give me pairs
I try to
its my first time ever getting a build with it and coincidentally it won 😋
I usually dont lol unless I have an insane need for a 6th ( or 5th on painted) joker
if youve got hologram and enough good jokers that an ecto is worth considering
I dont ALWAYS take ecto jeez
koker
SHURBRBSUEJHRJR
then you probably win
ecto is one of my least taken spectrals
prove it
im trying to keep an open mind to more scaling xmult jokers than just const holo and vamp lol
theyre almost all good
throwback is a little terrible
I took it so much on painted its one kf my highest LMFAO
I hate painted sm
idk why people say hologram is good, this joker is ass

ceres? 
it also works on android so
desaturated balatro my favorite game
I aint wasting 10 bucks
??
they prob have it on gamepass
Im playing pokertro: the rogue-ish mobile game
ecto is also on my bottom 3 used spectral
grim incant and familiar kinda gas ngl
idk where ecto is i doubt its high
my fav joker ecto
Ectoplasm is my 7th most used
ouija is bad don't use
ouija might beat it out but i think ive had more times where a ouija mattered more than an ecto funnily enough
im well aware
incant being the lowest makes sense because i basically only take it for hologram runs
its oddly nice against certain bosses on 4oak runs
it took you 85 uses to get it
Just five more stickers
Bottom 5 but I see 5 below it?
incant for golds
when do you take ouja
idk, incant familiar and grim early to find gold cards are pretty good
never
luigi
I sold Perkeo just to buy Obelisk
I have 552 hours on steam twin...
85 of ouija in 552 hours is not much
deck bloat for the chance at gold cards... youre coping
ghost deck vs needle or only one hand type on 4oak build
but hologram.incantation!!
WHAT HAS THIS TURNED INTO
one ouija every 389 minutes...
it's insanely high
grim and familiar i can understand for run direction, but incant has too much variance
??? no tf it isnt
🔥
theres no good cards in your deck early on, anything is better than that
interesting emergency glass usage
i think i used 2 in my life
i dont think thats true twin
unless you have like 5 hours
every 6 hours irl you ouija
you weegee
every ~6 hours of playtime, on average, i use a ouija. sure
hmmmm
my ante record is ante 22, i'm not a newb 
at least
my luigi is only at 48 with 850 hours lmao
adding 4 of any 9 ranks is just not worth taking
being enhanced doesnt change much of that
ouija gets so much better when you stop thinking of it as an early game deckfixing option and as a mid/late game emergency button
In fairness I think it's a fair bit better on checkered
ive also played a lot of jokerless so that's definitely skewing it
also painted
Since bloat isn't quite so important as there's a bit less incentive to play into potential pivots/boss outs
I have 55 Ouija uses on 423 hrs
painted u can fuck with it or with ecto a lot more safely
30 trance 
and ur changing more cards too
it's too much ?
this is esp good since 4oak is really really good on painted
Incantation is not terrible if you're playing Pairs anyway
Pairs are resistant to deck bloat
deck bloat is still pretty bad if youre playing pairs unless you have a pretty good reason to do it
It's not worth it but it's not a disaster
icl docspectre is cool but i cant agree with his uses of incantation
but what if incantation makes 4 9s
as it makes finding your good cards, like blue seals etc, harder
they very rarely give u smth u want
then it would be goated
This part is pretty fake
i like grim and familliar
it absolutely isnt
you don't use enough purple seals
1/6561 uses it'll do this, sure
medium should be way above deja vu
gg died at 15.25 glass jim
27 mediums
-3 cards of your deck that you get to see?
you can use 10 per game easily
while blue seal use is limited to 2/3
4 random enhanced cards for pairs, getting random enhancements like golds and lucky and steels or just to add 4 enhanced card and to unlock the enhancement specific jokers (it cant even get stones so stone joker is still locked), seems pretty good
Deja Vu being used so much just screams Baron/Mime shenanigans
the more cards you add to your deck the worse your deck power gets proportional to your deck, which makes finding good cards worse unless you're increasing the ((# of good cards / the number of cards) to your deck faster than youre bloating
you can go further
purple seals have a higher ceiling than blue
your starting 52 cards are nothingburgers anyway, it will be on average better than your starting cards
dont make me do it
to you
or the high chance that incantation makes something of value enough that it isnt actually worse off
Balatro needs an inscryption and risk of rain collab
like maybe if you have one blue seal, deckbloat is real, otherwise its not
gearbox should buy this game and add 50 paid dlcs
If you draw about 60% of your deck and it takes 10 hanged men to draw 100%, then those hanged men collectively account for a 2/3 increase, so each is a 6.7% increase in value in deck (in reality, the first hanged man is lower and is about 4% increase). When considering the amount of value that you need in deck for this to be better purely in terms of value gen than like one extra gold, you need a lot
if you open standards and your options are lucky/steel/mult are you gonna take a card or skip? most of the time im going to skip because its a bigger deal to deck bloat than it is for me to add those cards into my hand most of the time
most fun unseeded run ive ever had xD
This argument is for hanged man but it can also be used for incantation of course, just using the one I've thought about before
What the fuck
i was gonna do baron mine but the game forced me into yorick
you could have probably gone farther if you went idol sock
I wonder how risk of rain 2 is doing, I don't think I've ever been interested enough to return to that game so I haven't paid a dime
I hate Bloodstone
me when I win
retriggers go further but this is funnier

now its just 40 purple sealed heart jacks
not even for drifter.
And if you have the amount of value in your deck where hanged man is not only better than devil in terms of value gen, but also better cumulatively considering the time to get to that point, then you should just win
Hanged Man is an incredible tarot but Value Gen is not the reason
Or, similarly, deck bloat is very undesirable but not because of Value Gen
value gen is one part of it
it's a multifaceted problem, you said that it was "fake" that value gen / card seeking is hindered by deck bloat
It's a very minor part of it that shouldn't be taken into account as much as people do
which is just being disingenuous and hyperbolic for the sake of your argument
So yes, I do think this part is fake and people should not be concerned with the loss in value gen from bloat
There are much better reasons to not bloat
that does not mean you "should not be concerned" with it, it means people should not be concerned as much as they are
At that point you're arguing semantics
removing nuance from the conversation is always problematic imo
here win

im arguing in favour of nuance
I mean ok id pay for an extra like 15 or 20 jokers depending on the price
i love balatro
I think the effect is so minor in all but the most winning of games or in edge cases that you can safely remove it from the equation when talking purely about theory
But of course, understanding why is the most important part of that
taking the first lucky/steel is okay in a 52 card deck is good honestly it turns death online because now you have a good card in your deck, i think people should be taking it more often
I think I would ram randy pitchford into a canyon with a bergentruck before I ever let him get his grubby mitts on this game
you didnt answer my question
Taking early lucky/steel for death is very speculative, not sure I like the argument (I can see steel to try and start preparing counterplay for certain bosses though tbf, even if it's not something I'd do)
i would take a lucky or steel if my deck has nothing going on
i would be more in favour of lucky cat or steel joker as an argument than for death targets
i lost to running out of cards
if i dont already have a purple/blue on my deck, same with incant
I've said it before but the main reason you want to avoid bloat is so that you can play around what the seed happens to throw out better. It's a lot easier to take an emergency pivot to 4oak, play around a trio you see or find a way to make a strong hand on a hard boss if you can see more of your deck reliably
mhm
though i think youre looking at value gen from a single source when evaluating the difference in thinning vs adding cards
i also dont just hanged man cards if theres an option for an enhancement tarot in the same pack on a naked deck
Mostly this
im not taking a tower/lovers/chariot over a hanged man most of the time without more context/reason to do so
Other than Gold, Lucky and maybe glass (probably not but I can see the argument) I'm taking the early hanged man
Ello ello

thinning your deck means youre significantly less likely to bottom-deck

If you're playing pairs that's not too much of an issue
It is
pair brain rot
Skibidi Pair
yea but i would rather find something in your deck to draw into before destroying the cards for consistency
i mean are we talking hanged man vs enhancements?
Pairs having a bloated deck disables pivots which render you weak to certain eventualities
dam there should be more jonklers in the game that reward having big decks
That's fair
blue joker with the amazing scaling of +2 chips per card
truly a work of art
blue joker being the slowest +chips scaler in the game 💀
"more" jonklers
i dont even think there's anything that scales slower than blue jonkler
straps?
straps is + mult
right
and scales decentlly
hologram?
Fork.
kami
hologram scales quite well
omg fork, calm downnnnnnn
i tried
bull and blue joker scales the same (number wise), other than that theres no +1 chip joker
Pre buff hiker
isnt pre buff hiker 4
who ?
what's the best bad joker
i swear there was a version of hiker that was 1
number wise i suppose, but it's a lot easier to get money than cards in your deck so bull scales faster
Michael Jackson
Any bad uncommon
does anybody use blue joker as a scaling joker? I'd say it's 99% used as a flat benefit that decreases
bro is playing labatro 💀
castle on burglar runs (only works with hook)
technically still scaling
perhaps the slowest scaling is actually ice cream
because it scales backwards
it scales with a negative sign
Water with Luchador too
no fuck you
negative is less than +2
bloodstone sucks
2 boss blinds? damn this might scale too fast
Yeah it would be, that's why we're lucky it's one boss blind and one boss blind conditionally
infnite money theory
dead run theory
yo what in the world
+1 chips for every scoring card
literally worse than flowerpot
hmmm, with this trajectory, in the 2026 update hiker will be 6 chips
old balatro was in a really weird state
where 1 boss blind says "no full houses" and another says "no hand containing a pair"
wait we should graph this
Just a casual amount of rerolls and discards
death to 70% of runs
I saw a demo from 2022 where The Needle already existed
needle is so goated with acrobat
oh so that's why it's the nostalgic house in cryptid
Turns out a yorick at 40x isnt enough also in the 992 reroll i didnt get a single blueprint
we dont have the exact version for the other 2 so we wont know for sure the increase is linear or not
say for straights; you need either a 10 or a 5 to form a straight without shortcut or 4fingers.
that means theres 8 cards that can bottom deck and force you to not have a straight in hand.
you can reasonably see 24/52 cards in a base deck with 3 hands and 2 discards +8 handsize. that leaves your odds of bottom decking out of any straight at (~0.4% for no hanged man, then 0.29% for the second, then 0.19% for the third, then 0.12% for the fourth...)
this is assuming perfect hanged man ofc but your odds of bottom decking your straights goes down significantly, and compounding that across an entire run (which isnt entirely fair but for the sake of the argument&math) it means that your risk goes down dramatically. your risk of hitting a 0.4% across 23 rounds is about 9%, and your odds of hitting a 0.29% across 23 rounds is about 6.5%, and so on
i like your funny words magic (wo)man
Parentheses 🤨 why
i dont know their gender so im trying to be respectful
i use she/her :3
hey uh
i got this game and played it a while ago but most of my wins have been “getting a broken joker early” and then snowball into a free win
would anyone tell me how you’re supposed to pivot the game?
To me it just looks like a transphobic undertone. While I understand that's not your intention at all, one look at their profile and you already know pronouns
Bubblegum: +20 mult, 1 in 5 chance to create an eternal copy of itself at end of shop (removes negative from copy)
This is a custom joker idea that I’m actually proud of
The answer to most questions in this game is "have more econ"
My issue too tbh
its not that deep
That's a lot of mult
good to know ig
Basically if something pops up that you know will get you more scoring in the long run, you should focus on that
Could be duplicating a playing card, scaling a certain joker, etc
pivots are easiest, but also the least necessary, when you have jokers / a build that is hand-agnostic & dies to the fewest boss blinds
same!
thats the worst joker ive ever seen
hey, someone in #⚙・modding-general just came up with a joker that was a worse splash... so...
thats where this was gonna go before my 40x yorick didnt clear E17
free +20 mult??
wait how does this work on green stake and below
i feel a -mult +mult x would be a funny idea
No but here me out
It’s easy mult but you’ll want to pivot faster to whatever you can find, encouraging more creativity
It still works the same
I hate Bloodstone
eehhh idk about joker ideas that work specifically with stickers like wternal
Should I get hologram?
It's not that +20 Mult is bad, it's just overpowered. Unconditional +20 Mult that also duplicates
why would i ever want to do this
duplicates but it stays like for ever
Yeah but less joker slots
And sure it works with madness but then you’re relying on one specific joker showing up before your joker slots are filled
free eternal tag on a conditionless +mult is soooo good
too big a downside for me 
decisions decisions... bus is at +59, high card is 85 x 9, and ramen is X1.89
not when it's self-duplicating with said eternal tag so youre just forced to have full joker slots or risk losing joker slots for another copy forever
also forcing a joker to have eternal is just not vanilla behaviour so i dont like it
doesn’t seem like you can replace anything
i mean ig it makes sense but 1 in 5 is 20% chance, gros michel breaks pretty often at 1 in 7
welll
Let go of Ramen and copy the bus. You lose just a bit of mult but have a bunch more flexibility
hmmp
gros is 1/6
true. plus i can copy burnt
im a local idiot 1 in 6
Yeah maybe not vanilla
I’m making a mod (well at least ideas for it)
Also this would be a common btw
Also the chance is nullified if your slots are filled after getting it
I would do pairs since wayyy more chipsss
oa6 did wonders for my spaceman
Can you reach naninf with double tagging +3 hand size with a baron mime build?
anaglyph deck wise
i suppose it isnt too late to pivot since atp arrowhead isnt doing much but still high cards been pretty powerful
One time I ended up winning a run with Space Joker, Oops All 6s and Blueprint copying Space Joker. It was fuckin stupid lmao
yes
you can
I've done it once
ive wanted to
can you use the fool on fool
dont
no
no
its literally just a waste of time hoping for good RNG
my wife is just starting playing on stream rn
but every time i try to go for a baron mime build yorick appears and then the discarding begins
and was wondering if you could do that to farm for fortune teller
There should be a emoji for this
regretfully no, although technically there is a different way to do that i believe
you can do emperor ---> fool---> emperor and hope it keeps landing on fool
most ive gotten is emperor ---> fool ----> emperor---> fool---> emperor so i mean
spoilers for a legendary joker ||theres a joker called perkeo that gives you negative copies of random consumable cards at the top right. use this to get at least one of every tarot card possible excerpt fool, use the emperor, which gives you an emperor and fool, sell emperor, use the fool for another emperor. infinite money and fortune teller stacking||
i think thats about how it works
Legendaries are not spoiler material
they just tryin to be kind to newbies
Newbies should play the game before they join the server
sold a bus
Do I go Chad over scary face?
lmao you got a better sticker on Sock and Buskin' than I do 😭
pretty sure i have a gold sticker on sock
yep gold sticker
Onyx Agate was one of my first gold stickers ever
me with nothin on mine
I got half joker as one of my first gold stickers on this second file
just beat gold stake on ghost deck, most fun gold stake run i've had yet
had this clever moment against the ox where i hoped a 4 of a kind would be enough to beat it so that i didnt get my money reset and lose all my econ https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/lzN0R4AZrkUPGq1ja?invite=cr-MSxXZ2ksMzg1MjQ0MTcy&v=60
Watch 200 iq clutch pt 2 by mrmega1423 and millions of other Balatro videos on Medal. #balatro
Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What we thinking bout.
black deck 
Alright alright.
iirc, it was along with Hologram, Hanging Chad, Seeing Double and Abstract Joker
here's how the run ended. Ghost Deck + Hologram op https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/lzN7wmyr9_9X3og_p?invite=cr-MSx6WVIsMzg1MjQ0MTcy&v=60
Watch ace'd it, indeed by mrmega1423 and millions of other Balatro videos on Medal. #balatro
Vamp was at 4.2x and hologram was at like 8.5x or something like that
banana
Mmmmm markipliers
MY SECOND WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ggs! You're slowly becoming one with the hive mind
balalala
balalalala
Get a bigger best hand, and then top that hand, then top that hand, then t o p t h a ţ
Watch the number go up
so now that im done with ghost deck gold stake i now have red, blue, ghost, abandoned, checkered, and erratic decks gold stickered
im thinking ill do anaglyph deck next
im saving plasma and black decks for last ☹️
get the pain over with right now or save the pain for last
decisions decisions
Red is honestly the best for negating the blue stake debuff
saving it for last because ill have more experience so itll theoretically be less painful
This is what made me win btw
Not bad, but what is the Chad doing?
probably for extra mult on lusty joker
Ohh yeah right, I forgot how sinful jokers worked lol
I never really use them
fire
holy showman
I got the most batshit run ever I had 5 negative blue prints
anaglyph deck my beloved
ok anaglyph deck is really funny LOL
i had like 5 negative jokers
i dont usually take negative skips for obvious reasons but like
having 10 jokers with a foil abstract joker is too good to pass up, no?
I love anaglyph to mass level up a hand
never even thought of that
cerulean bell be thinking it can screw up my run by messing up my hand
not knowing im about to hit em with the level 50 high card
fr
anaglyph deck seems very flexible
anaglyph is fun asf
I think you take the skip here tbh.
it can be an economy deck if you take an economy tag
a better black deck if you take negative tag
better nebula deck if you take an orbital tag
etc
Anaglyph and negative tag 🤤 🤤 🤤
prefer my economy tags on anaglyph to negative tags tbh
anaglyph and voucher tag 🤤🤤🤤🤤
fair
20 mega standard packs with mega standard skip tag
Yeah negative tag sucks 90% of the time. But the DOPAMINE RUSH you get from hearing all the beeps and boops from your 20+ jokers is unmatched
200-300 dollars depending on when you rip it is just generally more compelling to me than the random negatives, esp on gold stake when can be smelly rentals
true, high rolling negative tags can be fun
and all the lil thingies going off
considering that standards are most times skips, i would take 20 mega arcana
mega arcana on anaglyph is pretty solid too now that it's mentioned
20 mega specrtal..?
Insane deck fixing
i didn’t play gold yet, i’m scared.
i prefer taking arcana
taking it ante 5-7 gets you 6-8 mega arcanas and that's a lotta tarots
whats the worst skip tag for anaglyph though
more options for deckfixing
reroll
ethereal is not mega
a double skip tag
its just a normal spectral
fair nuff
top up
Spectral is only good if you already got a fixed deck. Other than the seals, I think 20 mega Arcana wins no dif
yea that makes sense actually
even if you get anything u’ll still waste a lot of them
what does top up do? i play the game in spanish lol
"waiter! waiter! blocked common joker spawns please!"
2 common jorkers
spawns 2 common jokers if you have space
yeah that’s a waste
Why on earth is black deck impossible IVE BEEN AT IT FOR 8 HOURS
relatable
Boss reroll
tis a tough one, hard deck
consult the Orb
The Orb?
the Orb
I’m so tempted to see if anyone wanna call and see if they wanna coach because I can’t deal with this fuck ass deck
But The Orb is evil
the Orb knows all
Whats main problem ur having
which must be why its evil
Holy shit ur name is long 😭
wdym its just Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaub
But the cost you have to pay to take a glimpse of it's knowledge is unfathomable
Everything I get good cards I fail I can’t figure it out I have beaten a lot of other decks I just can’t do this one it’s making me loose my gros michels
if u have the patience the strat i did was reset until i got an investment tag

cant put a fair price on knowledge ig
just look at college
Yo wait that’s smart
wat does 14/13 mean
It’s not that long
Damn you're right. But BUT
works if you want a one time win tho not really helpful if trying to build skill to win more consistently
Idk what else to say lol
it means i beat ror2 monsoon with 14 survivors out of the 13 selectable ones
Bro I have a entire deck of blue print and one gros michel
ur 100% right
Never seen that type of deckfixing
It’s pretty good icl
wanting the one time win is fully valid tho so like, def a useful strat for some ppl
mercenary my beloved
black deck is such a pain in the ass
Just wait for Cavendish and the deck will pop off
abandoned deck is the only thing i found that compared to it
the best way to win is to not lose
True true
so dont lose and you’ll win
true,,, I play it recreationally sometimes but my winrate is lowwwww
But what if you don't win?
The best deck is plasma deck
consult the Orb
are u a white stake player
It's good for white stake up to red stake, every ante afterwards is a nightmare
abandoned has a tough earlygame but it's pretty good once you get later on, the lower deck size puts you closer to perfect draws off the bat so straight builds are a lot more viable there than elsewhere on gold stake
wrong its antimatter deck
playing it as a pair deck if you get a +mult scaler early and a straights deck otherwise tends to net me the most success on abandoned
early game is the biggest patience tester for me which is probably why im turned away from it lol
Orange
Looks inside
⁉️
yeaaa the ante 1 and sometimes 2 can be v troublesome on it
Is the photochad pregnant?
Views Within the Premises
I hate Photograph
What.
pregante!!
i had a perfect run going eaelier today
i mean hey reddit gave them some negatives
I refuse to elaborate

2 ancient jokers and photograph and i died to the fucking mouth
lol
I hate Bloodstone
Now I wanna try photo and lucky cat. It's shit, but it sounds fun to say the name
Me too.
literally got all the worst boss blinds ever, 3 consecutive suit debuffs in a row and then the mouth 😵
No shot this build made it this far lol
i hate Knockback Tome
how is banner alive
I don't ever buy bloodstone unless I get oops all 6s
why u copy da Based Ball ⚾
Idk

I hate Shield of Shove
The most op set up is 900 neg blue prints and 1 gros michel
Been skipping blinds
I got it nat negative in ante 7 and wanted to Sticker it
would be funny that if gros perished bp would too
-900 hand size gonna go crazy with those ectoes
Ngl Balatro has been the best game I’ve played in a long time
I hate Bloodstone
i will fight you
It's definitely on my top 10 games list
For me it’s top 3
bloodstone without oops is pure ragebait
i dont think ive even played 10 total games
Oh damn I would not go to put it that high lol
do you really wish to die on this hill
i hate Planula
no not really :(
I hate Ring of Becoming
What's planula
i hate malenia
ror2 item
bloodstone used to be like my favorite joker ever
What
heals you for like 15 hp every time you get hit
(i used to main plasma white stake)
so good right
I hate Crown of Teleportation
eh it has a specific build that its good in but outside of that quite ass
i hate respawn, when is titanfall 3 coming.
Tomorrow trust
Trust yellow steak is best
i hate Curse of the Tower
❓
yellow stake:
piss
I hate PLasma Deck
whats yall favorite deck to play on for gold stake
ITS SO GOOD THO.
What would be white stake then 😳
blurred deck
Yellow stake: econ jokers are disabled, no money.

Horf
BRO WHAT DID I DO?
i passed out like 10 times but heres your stake sir
ghost
that sentence was a brick to the pipi
anaglyph just for fun

I feel ashamed that I understand the reference😔
see u get it
:3

exactly
:3
:3
just get a bunch of negatives
Bro the lottery is so easy to win, you just gotta guess the numbers
i dont think negative skip is reliable anymore bc i have so many jokers gold stickered
balatro is so easy dude just perform a dark ritual and sell your soul so that every joker is a negative
its now a less than 50% chance i get a non stickered negative

and theyre always rentals
Red deck is easy
The gods rejected my soul, am I cooked?
What if i already sold my soul
sell it to jimbo
that reminds me of a skit ive seen
maybe
Watch the money go up
i just gotta sell bp first, trust
its a skit by cheeseparade called selling my soul
wait i can transfer my soul?
I'd sell my soul to make an actually good idol build
yea you’ll just lose whatever thing you sold it for previously
those are the most satisfying ones
Yeah! I can just never get it to work 😔
The amount of deck fixing you gotta do is insane
no more cloverpit then
idol is a stinky butthead
HE'S MINE STINKY BUTT HEAD AND I LOVE HIM JUST THE WAY HE IS
ok
i made it work once just because i had luck, i had a bunch of different cards in the deck, didnt get to E numbers but saved me a bunch of times

i wanna do a stencil run but you need so much luck to get it to work that is almost impossible
e
E
i mean getting like 6 stencils
Damn why didn't I think of that
Well then I am Eternal
Endless ain't really endless innit
Did I just win the lottery?
ic ecream 😋
Yes now reroll
Ok just did
ice cream!!
:D
homosexual
literally did my bit but louder ToT
Queer 🫵
yes.
I wish I was
I JUST FUCKING LOST
high on potenuse
yay, recyclomancy.
dumbass lol
I am
You didn’t take ice cream?
How
balatro player realizes blueprint isnt a free win every fucking time
your fault
in a vaccum blueprint is useless lmao
queer
Queen
:3
the icecream was basically a stuntman there
Yeah copy ice cream and build money
i should start removing kings from the deck in my balatro runs to protest trump
True
in balatro you always have to be modest in the beggining
im sure he’ll notice
and kinda always
How will I naninf with my baron then 🥺
heart rendering*
Looks inside
idk
doomed yaoi </3
Immortal and a cancer patient
Holy shit it is
Which one
I'm still waiting for the photochad fanfic on AO3
I michel on my banan
I was operating on similar flavors yesterday
here's an even sadder one
That one actually hurts. But hey at least the build could survive without it
true!
dude
OK sorry that sounded kinda rude
what I mean to say is blueprint is usually bait
The number did not go up 😔
early on*
ya
but also ice cream was RIGHT THERE!!!
methinks itwas a foil skip
oh yea probably 💭
It was, which means they had the equivalent of a stuntman with ice cream
REAL balatro players will ALWAYS gamble ALL their money away on a rare joker they don't even need, and lose literally next ante.
looks inside
but no -2 handsize
REAL balatro players would NOT read anything
REAL balatro players DON'T know how to read
i used to always use death in the wrong order 🥀
this evilish game taunts me with its wicked modifiers
i learned how to read in spite of shayy
real balatro players dont learn from tutorials and just learn by playing the game themselves
hope i get a non perishable tho 
I feel you I wasted my first ever red seal steel that way
i learned from drspectred, 45 minutes yapping in first shop.
Turn the left card
same LOL
drspectred has so much aura
I read that as Dr disrespect and got concerned for a second
can I say something
hell no.
his face reveal being in a random live that wasn’t even his makes it even better
mhm
I completely lied, I watched a lot of balatro from roffle before buying it
Hey folks
I didnt learn how to play by myself
technically it wasnt his first face reveal from what ive heard but first public one
I hate Bloodstone
Is drspec Balatro University?
true
yes
i like roffle too
Oh that guy and Roffle are great. I watch them before bed almost every night. Amazing for sleep apnea
It is a skill issue unless I personally find it annoying then it is artificial difficulty
I hate Smiley Face
i hate Frowny Face
same
Same, like what the hell is he even smiling about
im so shit at this game its not even funny
most times i want to learn from doc but when i fall asleep hes still in ante 1
average face of a photochad user be like
Ok Goldilocks.
im prettier
ermm im a boy
Ok uhhh Prince Charming?
i was to op and god had to nerf me by giving me adhd
but im a femboy though
confusing.
Ok uhhhh uhhh umm
I can't believe they're real
:3
I don't know any fairy tale femboy character
idk either
FUCK BLACK DECK I CANT TAKE THIS FUCKING SHIT ANYMORE HOURS FUCK IT FUCK IT FUCK IT FUCK IT
astolfo from fate
:3
Take a break -eve
skip tag till u get ancient
black deck moment
Superman has never been the same ever since he started Balatro😔 . The whole universe is in shambles
IMA KILL EVERY LAST CITIZEN
ikr he lost a gold stake run and tossed my car ☹️
i feel like since i started playing balatro i keep getting dumber
The moon?
reasonable crashout
ok
i dont either
I saw him fling a new born like a football the other day. While mumbling something about a plant or something
tier 2 card voucher?
haha yes
dont do that
so its a fair fight then i see
that’s fair
What do I do cause ONE MORE FAIL AND IM GOING TO LOOSE IT
valid crashout
just git gud brochacho
score the required amount of points per blind to win
you guys remember when he destroyed the moon, i heard him say something about a stone of blood?
Does the inability to read stack? Like if I play Undertale and Balatro does that double my inability to read?
I’m slimming your ass
guys rate difficulty for x-ray vision challenge 1-10
what does that even mean
Gang I gotta remain calm to win
Pulling up
I hate Bloodstone
woah woah woah
I can’t keep crashing it I just gotta get good
Start meditating idk man
I have a very bad skill issue
i unno
what
I ain’t pulling up im to lazy
*too
ngl i thought sliming meant killing
Imma pull up to u then.
I thought it meant something very VERY different.
I think killing your ass might sound worse.
Ok the we can play Balatro together
YAOII 
unc
I’m not playing black deck, u do it
fuck you
Sliming doesn't mean killing?
you know what’s worse about black deck? that i keep forgetting that i have another joker slot
Don't be mean or bloodstone is the best joker to ever exist
i dunno
It does
the way its used in the pac man show it kinda does
I’m a women/j
shut up jimbo 💔
The black deck does suck
HETERO STUFF IDK HOW YOU CALL IT 
Sliming literally meant "shooting someone down" so it did mean killing
I was joking but YAOI IG
some weird frankenstein of yuri and yaoi
Oh, ok
yuoi

Gross -eve
