[tame cobalt]

It's just getting the right jokers

I'm just rollin the dice till it works

[twin lantern]

Golden ticket did nothing the whole game bruh ante 1 pick up w midas mask

[austere escarp]

Every single seed is winnable remember that, reflect on what you did wrong and learn from past mistakes

[tame cobalt]

On golden?

Haha

[twin lantern]

This way of approaching the game is exactly why you're losing

[river gust]

u sure?

[hardy fable]

Dr with a 74 winstreak on gs

a guy with like 100+ on blue

[tame cobalt]

Golden needle

[lavish gazelle]

When the joker poker balala seed is impossible

[hardy fable]

ehhhh ig 25

[austere escarp]

I mean there might be some outliers but damn near every single seed has the resources to win ante 8

[twin lantern]

Yeah there's ppl with like gold stake streaks that go up to almost 100, im oretty sure someone here has like a 20streak or something

[tame cobalt]

Even if most seeds are technically possible that's assuming you have foresight about what's in shit like booster packs and shop rerolls

[austere escarp]

Thats not inheritely true

[vale wharf]

Chat, if we have 5 eternals and get verdant leaf... are we straight up fucked?

[austere escarp]

You could also be super risk adverse and play everything safe

[twin lantern]

or just good game sense :/ you dont even need to play balala to get good game senes

[tame cobalt]

Anyhow golden needle is extreme rng

[river gust]

sometimes rng just hate me

[twin lantern]

any rouge like would do

[sour quail]

insane plasma deck start lmfao

[tame cobalt]

Normal balatro rules go out the window for golden needle

[sour quail]

ante 2

[tame cobalt]

It's an icky challenge

[twin lantern]

ez

[austere escarp]

Golden needle having 6 discards makes it not that bad

[tame cobalt]

That really doesn't help that much imma be real

[river gust]

i think u said that alr

[twin lantern]

Golden needle, more like: free straight build

[tame cobalt]

It shits on ur econ and the fact water isn't banned makes it even worse

[austere escarp]

I mean yeah but I am not the only one repeating myself here

[floral mural]

are you running a build that uses on score a lot is the question here

[river gust]

true

[vale wharf]

On score?

[hearty warren]

you get to see 38/52 cards in golden needle and there are 40 possible straight flushes in the game

[sour quail]

HAHAHAHA

[austere escarp]

if BU can get c++ without any losses you can beat golden needle I believe in you

[floral mural]

jokers and enhancments that trigger when a card scores

[river gust]

card packs included?

[tame cobalt]

I said I don't want help and then people come at me with useless advice lmao

[austere escarp]

then take some time off

[river gust]

pick the left one obv

[twin lantern]

depends on the build, photochad will lose but grimbo hologram wont be bothered

[hearty warren]

just a perspective of how you can survive ante 1 even if you pull nothing for the first ante

[floral mural]

if youre not using that as your scoring leaf is pretty much free

[river gust]

ah

[vale wharf]

I seeeee

[twin lantern]

So you just joined the server to cry about being bad at the game,

^ me

[vale wharf]

Makes sense once you realise it's not the jokers being debuffed

Like crimson

[austere escarp]

theyll be back in an hour just drop it

[twin lantern]

The most common balalacord interaction tbh

[tacit stream]

laughs in 5 eternal madness
On a more serious note, you're safe as long as you're not relying on scored cards triggering to score.

[twin lantern]

Imma get back to grinding winstreaks i took a break to play skyrim

[river gust]

you're never safe in balatro

How do you like my 80 card deck

[signal frigate]

Watching the roach king

[sacred trench]

Sure am

[signal frigate]

Hit the road actually goes hard here

[sacred trench]

Oh yeah it does, but painted deck won't let me do it 😔

[signal frigate]

Rip

[sacred trench]

I actually found a blue print right before the final boss bind , I didn't want to buy then sell him

[tacit stream]

Behold my chaotic 100+ card deck.

[sacred trench]

I could have gotten there! But then again I got to 77 in 8 antes

On painted

Lucky Cat is one of my favorite Jokers

scammed

[plush scarab]

Are my jokers and played hand in the right order?

[tribal dock]

<@&1133519078540185692> ive gotten two add requests from spam/soliciting/phishing bots in the past hour from this server

oops wrong chat but still goes

[austere escarp]

dm me the names and id

[vale shale]

So I started the black deck run. This might be a first win.

[lunar zealot]

Ello ello

[brazen night]

I want to buy this on my pc but I only have 7.41$

FML

[unreal island]

sell mail in rebate to make room trust me bro

[austere escarp]

good morning

[austere escarp]

I think about this like everytime I see you in chat

[lunar zealot]

why that out of all the things i've said

i'm literally the girl who made the most iconic screenshot we have

[austere escarp]

I feel like I have seen you say that 100 times

[austere escarp]

idk ill ask my autism later it just sticks out to me and its not even that funny

[lunar zealot]

Fair enough fair enough

i think my autism manifests in me saying the most obscure fuckin words

like esoteric

idk why i like that word so much

[vale shale]

Looks inside

[hardy fable]

can i be second for How cool I look

[austere escarp]

peter griffin stuntman

[unreal island]

yo.

[hardy fable]

nah I'm handsome squidward

[unreal island]

so just squidward

[warped crown]

is plasma deck easier to get naneinf in?

[unreal island]

i dont know, is the sky red?

[warped crown]

shiii i duno

[unreal island]

exactly

thats ur answer

um

naneinf on plasma bc it looks pretty :3

[warped crown]

i almost did but only issue is that i got my barons and dna late

and got planted

[crystal field]

mrow

oh god

[austere escarp]

damn no luchador or directors cut?

[crystal field]

i feel like when i first started playing balatro i was like

[warped crown]

nope

[crystal field]

directors cut is lame im not gonna take it ever

[warped crown]

💀

[crystal field]

and i got burned way too much gor it

[warped crown]

that shit is my lifeline

[austere escarp]

directors cut is really good when you need it but useless if you end up not

But the security makes it good

[crystal field]

of the vouchers its definitely one ive had to learn to appreciate

and i take it almost every time now never know when ur gonna get creamed by eye or wall

or whatever is gna kill me right

[austere escarp]

violet vessel

[crystal field]

vessel isnt usually as bad as effing crimson heart for me

like if I get the square im cooked against heart

[acoustic kettle]

Vessel is a bitch

[austere escarp]

too often I have a run that could win just not vessel

[crystal field]

that does feel bad

[lost vault]

uwu

[crystal field]

its always me clenching my cheeks when I beat the ante 7 boss to check and see and hope i dont get vessel or heart

and then it ends up being acorn and ijbol

[acoustic kettle]

Cerulean ball

[crystal field]

cerulean bell is annoying for the once in a blue moon straight build

but for pairs its also laughable yeah

[acoustic kettle]

Acorn and bell is so easy

But then vessel exists

[unique glade]

anyone have tips for blue stake black deck? i've played so many runs without winning and i'm just getting tired

[crystal field]

verdant leaf also tends to be a nothingburger boss

[crystal field]

pray for red card

[acoustic kettle]

Oh yeah i forgot it even exists

[vale shale]

☠️

[acoustic kettle]

What do you even want here

Chicot or triboulet i guess

[vale shale]

Ok so yeah we won probably

[crystal field]

wha

oh yea

if its canio so sorry thats a real bad one

perkeo too

trib is good for this specific situation hmmm

[dark cairn]

wtf

[versed hemlock]

How do I salvage this

[acoustic kettle]

Should've made glass numbers

[fringe crest]

cry

thatd all you can do

is cry

[vale shale]

I got perkeo

But atleast I won black deck gold stake

Winstreak 2

[crystal field]

very cool

atleast you got $10

[vale shale]

I had liquidation

[crystal field]

fuckkkk

[vale shale]

I had egg

[crystal field]

atleasy you got $5

[vale shale]

So it's fine

[crystal field]

liquidation is crazy

sometimes I think about balatro prices

like why is fuckinn

ft a $6 joker

[barren wigeon]

[versed hemlock]

I lost

[barren wigeon]

[versed hemlock]

Hold this for me

[vale shale]

Grin djokrt

[dire sapphire]

ive done a similar run

but it was
blueprint
brainstorm
burglar
the duo
ride the bus

and with all hand vouchers + blue deck

most fun win ive had

[storm pewter]

do i wanna take chad over parei/dna here

[unreal island]

ur mum

[lavish gazelle]

Yes, sell parei

It's doing nothing rn

[vale wharf]

Who is generally better, yorick or canio?

[glass creek]

Yorick is more consistent.

[lavish gazelle]

Yorick definitely

[quiet hawk]

Hi hi beginner here! Should I replace sth with DNA here? Running a lucky-face card build. Thanks! ><

[heady narwhal]

finisher blind concept: no effect within the round but you have to beat the ante 10 boss blind to win now

[heady narwhal]

if you're just going for an ante 8 win there's no reason to replace anything when it's already a8

[tacit stream]

[insert colour] Overtime

[heady narwhal]

if you're doing endless then it depends

[heady narwhal]

i haven't played endless in ages but i'd probably replace duo there

you'd ultimately want to shift away from lucky and towards glass flush5 (which dna would help you sustain)

[quiet hawk]

Okey thanks ><, imma just throw a coin to see if I wanna do endless

[tranquil steppe]

Probably over dna if you’ve already gotten what you need out of it

[lunar zealot]

I think

people give cartomancer too much credit

rental carto is fine

i suppose it's the baseline

i dunno what else can be done with it

i'd just prefer hallu really but you can never really go wrong with it?

Then again everyone prefers hallu

[acoustic kettle]

Well carto is always the safe option

But he feels so

Basic

[lunar zealot]

Basic isn't bad necessarily

You know what i think?

[proper flame]

anaglyph deck is so fun because it rewards my bad decision making

[lunar zealot]

there's not enough tarot gen jokers

[lunar zealot]

8 ball certainly exists

superposition is ass

hallu far outclasses both of its peers

cartomancer is the baseline

[proper flame]

superposition is good if youre already doing that type of straight. Royal flushes do it, royal straights as well (Best way to use photochad imo)

[lunar zealot]

and vagabond is creative mode: the joker

[proper flame]

But really shit if you arent doing a high/low straight

[lunar zealot]

you don't normally deckfix for a-k or a-2 straights

hell aces are usually the first ranks you cut for straight builds

in that sense superposition is nicheless

inconsistent too and not worth spending time on

[proper flame]

Not typically but my most played build is probably high straight w/ face card synergies of some kind

[lunar zealot]

8 ball and hallu are both common

[lunar zealot]

anecdotal

your mileage varies

[proper flame]

yes im aware of that

[acoustic kettle]

Hallu is gambling

Win gamble feel good

Hallu better joker

That's why

[lunar zealot]

Everyone likes hallu

hallu + red card is an astonishingly good synergy

[jagged torrent]

I love schizophrenia jonkler<3

[floral mural]

quite a tough choice

i think its runner tho

[violet bear]

Holo runner has to be it

[vale shale]

I like runner

[proper flame]

yeah holo runner over rental mail in is pretty easy

carry you through multiple antes in one hand plus get some scaling chips perhaps

[gusty python]

just blew a possible naneinf run bc I didn't realise I was at ante 24 yet and couldnt roll into serpent but did end up getting my high score the ante before

[vale shale]

Gg

[ripe iris]

yeah that happened to me before

[indigo laurel]

I got yorick and died first ante skill issue or bad luck

[void trail]

What deck did you play? And how late did you get it?

[alpine hollow]

you probably relid on just yorick

although you can baeat ante 1 boss jokerless/planetless/tarotless

[void trail]

Yeah but bad luck can mess it up easily, especially on black deck

If he played on that one at least

[alpine hollow]

black deck is different, unless you get 2 K10 straights

[void trail]

True, I never go for boss blind on black deck I micht skip first one for money tag but on second I try to get a early joker that works for first few antes at least

[latent egret]

why

[proper turtle]

what do I copy here?

THE PLANTTTTT

I hate this game

[latent egret]

photo is optimal for non glass face cards

if glass for at least 3 cards, copy sock

if 2-1 copy chad

[vale shale]

Is pants active

[hot leaf]

I DID IT

I BEAT THE KNIFE'S EDGE

[hardy fable]

nc

[hot leaf]

Easier than i thought ngl

[lunar zealot]

I mean

dagger isn't necessarily a bad joker by any means

all knife's edge really wants from you is enough econ to buy a dud joker every so often so dagger won't kill your hologram

[sterile kindle]

finally won my first run after almost 9 hours

[regal cobalt]

round 67

im sorry

[sterile kindle]

67

[signal frigate]

You have chad

What's your highest hand level?

[signal frigate]

Hello long haired Jinx

[sterile kindle]

hello dingus names Ray

[signal frigate]

Pleased to meet you

[sterile kindle]

great to meet you too

[sweet bramble]

Great job!!

[neat ore]

Should there be a straight house poker hand?

[pale wolf]

composed of what cards

[neat ore]

Playing cards from a deck

[pale wolf]

https://www.balatrodle.com/ spoilers in 4 should've got it in 3 though

[lunar zealot]

bro starts with hologram

[pale wolf]

i doo

it's optimal

[lunar zealot]

you need to join team spare trousers

[pale wolf]

i used to be

[lunar zealot]

why did you leave

[pale wolf]

until it won in 1

[lunar zealot]

Sad

[jovial plinth]

Oh my god i got an instant gros michel extinction my luck is cursed

[pale wolf]

that's usually great

[woven spire]

i use gros to get past 2 first antes without spending more money, and i hate when it goes extinct first round lol

[wintry ice]

it's overrated for earlygame for that reason

i only take it when it's the only option available

[lunar zealot]

michael is like misprint but even less consistent

Which is saying something because misprint's design philosophy is being inconsistent

[undone laurel]

Two more stickers!

Andy is awesome

[vale shale]

gg

[twin lantern]

Is the black deck one of the hardest decks to win with or am I stupid

[latent egret]

ante 1 canvendish extinction trust

it can happen

guess how i know

[latent egret]

it's the hardest deck for early game by a long shot then late game it's mid/better than most

[faint birch]

im now on a winstreak of 4 with no sight of my needed jokers

suffering from flushcess

side note riffraff really is the fucking goat

[jovial plinth]

It was

Immediately got a cavendish after

Dna + hologram is insanely good

[latent egret]

balatrodle spoilers

man f this

litterally beat around the bush

sly was unoptimal af but i blanked

[proper bronze]

i think that was blueprint double brainstorm and dna

[calm epoch]

i just did uhhh
got cartomancer -> it gave emperor -> it gave judgement -> it gave nat neg riffraff

round 5 btw

lmao

[signal frigate]

That's a good thing actually

[latent egret]

depends if the cavendish stays around

[signal frigate]

Usually it will

Unless you're unbelievably unlucky

And lost that 1/1000 dice roll

[latent egret]

round 3 cavendish extinction

[signal frigate]

Only had that happen in Modded Balatro

[proper bronze]

i got gros michel once from ante 1 to ante 6

[latent egret]

had that happen on unmodded

[proper bronze]

yeah

[latent egret]

#🕹・game-discussion message

man someone was hungry to eat both these bananas

[signal frigate]

You think that's impressive? Here's my Michael surviving from Ante 2 to ante fucking 9

[carmine lantern]

[proper bronze]

man jimbo is hungry as hell dude

[spring scroll]

Do I just... keep hitting next round? Or is there something I should actually look for
First time getting one of these... funny runs

[signal frigate]

You have observatory?

[spring scroll]

[signal frigate]

Yeah, you might wanna watch out for the bossblinds that'll kill you if you haven't run into them yet

What's your highest hit?

[spring scroll]

This isn't for naninf or anything, just... first time having a run go goofy 🤣

[signal frigate]

Rn, you want red seal glass for later

[signal frigate]

I don't think that's enough

[spring scroll]

yeah not intending to go, just having fun and wanted to know what I should be looking for

[signal frigate]

Also, you did that on Orange stake which is impressive

[spring scroll]

so I'll look at deck culling & red seal glass

[spring scroll]

yeah this was just working on stakes

[signal frigate]

Amazing seed

[signal frigate]

Good voucher btw

[spring scroll]

easy, will keep just trecking along, ty for input

[pale wolf]

|| You knew it could not have been banner because it couldn't be $5||<

[spring scroll]

no real point actually rolling down so I'm just vibing on standard packs and looking for deaths ig

[pale wolf]

excellent

[latent egret]

you could replace photo with showman

and use glass

or just take the 1/8 downgrade in score while you can

[spring scroll]

isn't photo like super important for me or nah? thought the whole point is blueprinting & brainstorming the photo?

[latent egret]

bp and bs are great for perkeo too

[signal frigate]

Observatory is actually enough here

That's kind of the plan but

[latent egret]

but if you are getting through by a ton, you can get more value than photo

[signal frigate]

Photochad does do a little bit of scoring

Or just Chad honestly

[latent egret]

gonna need luck and money to roll down

[spring scroll]

regretting the eternal chad rn 🤣

[signal frigate]

Well you beat the run already so there's really nothing to lose here

[latent egret]

i had the same problem

[signal frigate]

What's your highest score again?

[latent egret]

eternal chad in a double trib run

[spring scroll]

oh f me just realized I'm up to scientific numbers now

[latent egret]

i was so pissed

[signal frigate]

E13 I imagine

[signal frigate]

You reached the E's?

[pale wolf]

notation 😭

[spring scroll]

nah I hadn't scored in notation just yet

so I think this run has... run its course

[signal frigate]

Really?

Well, maybe flush wasn't the best

[spring scroll]

yeah strangely enough I wasn't planning on doing a high score on orange stake 🤣

[signal frigate]

Actually, try copying both Chad and photo

[pale wolf]

100 is just 1e2

[signal frigate]

Even out your copies on both to maximize it

After duping more planets, move your copies

[spring scroll]

sure let me have a sus

[spring scroll]

ofc perkeo placement v important

[signal frigate]

Blueprint on photo, brainstorm on chad

Then ship it

[spring scroll]

damn nice call 2e12

[signal frigate]

Yeah, I was wondering why you haven't reached notations yet cuz you had the right setup

You'll live for a while

I think your pitstop is ante 16?

[spring scroll]

do we roll down for anything or just have fun until its gone?

[pale wolf]

@signal frigate In my mind you are a penguin

[lunar zealot]

freestyling until i say something gay

[signal frigate]

Well, were hoping for more joker slots

[signal frigate]

Why is that?

[pale wolf]

I'm not sure, does it not resonate

[signal frigate]

To me, you're a tiny cat girl that rests on my shoulder

[pale wolf]

You already failed

[signal frigate]

Do I seem like a penguin??

[pale wolf]

A tiny cat is sort of close to a rat

[signal frigate]

Oh, that's a rat girl??

Well now I see you as that

[pale wolf]

my profile picture is Argo the rat
she's not actually a rat girl but was her title

[signal frigate]

I have a slight fear of rodents

[pale wolf]

she is an information broker

with loads of mischief

[pale wolf]

I'm not sure why

I think it's Dingus having some letters in common with penguin along with not being able to quite make out your profile picture most of the time

[signal frigate]

Does this help?

[pale wolf]

a bit

[signal frigate]

Well, I suppose now you see me as a hooman

[calm epoch]

i unlocked gold stake :D

ngl i locked in so hard on checkered deck today, was at its green stake before i started playing

[rancid niche]

It's awesome how this game allows you to unlock whatever you want however you want

[pale wolf]

slick

[rancid niche]

I unlocked checkered deck after winning gold stake

[calm epoch]

damn

[quaint stag]

the result of two skip tags LMAO

[pale wolf]

at that point in the game, I decided to do all of the gold stakes at once instead of just having one gold stake win on one deck hanging around while I finished up the stakes on the other decks

[calm epoch]

h m

[frank crescent]

Woah ante 1 blueprint

[rancid niche]

Obelisk pivot

[wintry ice]

insane pull

[quaint stag]

bought it and sold it

[pale wolf]

checks out

[wintry ice]

look at me in the eyes and tell me i'm human

[pale wolf]

double skips, gets massively rewarded for it, and then throws the reward in the trash

classic

[calm epoch]

💀

[quaint stag]

wtf was i supposed to do with the obelisk

[rancid niche]

I feel like I wanna take a break from the game after what I did last night

[pale wolf]

win? It's one of the best Jokers in the game

[calm epoch]

build a gameplan

duh

[faint birch]

fuck up your build

it really is kinda the midpoint joker

[wintry ice]

the polychrome makes it do something early on

and then lategame it's just a win

[pale wolf]

aint no way im getting reacted by noobs

[kind creek]

Very tempting turtle bean

[mild talon]

Hi everyone

[quaint stag]

granted the next shop also had supernova so

[kind creek]

do I take it and what do I sell if I do?

[faint birch]

tbh spam a bunch of high cards or something if you get it at the start and sandbag through the start too

[wintry ice]

they have no arguments so they must false react

[kind creek]

damn, no images today

[pale wolf]

supernova is like the anti obelisk but it can help you stack

[wintry ice]

i'd rather spam pairs for safety

[faint birch]

then you just go wacky "i think i will deliberately use 2 pair for once"

[calm epoch]

oh wait i thought that emoji was the true one, not the false

[lunar zealot]

LMAO white stake o clock apparently

[pale wolf]

You still need some sort of Base mult besides supernova to be able to start scaling obelisk

[proper bronze]

what about me

[lunar zealot]

Hello chat your friendly reminder that obelisk is one of the strongest jokers in the game

[pale wolf]

you're aight

[wintry ice]

one of

[rancid niche]

This joker gains x0.2 mult per time you fuck up your build and has a very awkward way of scaling that it requires you to plan 4 antes ahead

[calm epoch]

i didnt have the need to check the text below that emoji after seeing that face and thinking "oh its the true emoji"

[lunar zealot]

this joker gains x0.2 mult per hand

[pale wolf]

aka just have a stack of one hand type and then stop playing it

[lunar zealot]

you just said it dude

[wintry ice]

the "planning 4 antes ahead" in question being regular gold stake gameplay

[lunar zealot]

x0.2 mult per hand is x2.4 mult per ante

[pale wolf]

which happens most runs anyways

[lunar zealot]

x2.4 mult is faster than yorick (~x1.3) and madness (x1) combined

[latent egret]

yes

what kind of question is that

[lunar zealot]

I have no idea why you're treating x0.2 mult as bad LMAO

[rancid niche]

Not for me on gold stake but sure it does happen quite often

[calm epoch]

gang which deck i should try to get to gold stake next

[quaint stag]

i wonder what unbiased takes you will give me

[lunar zealot]

I think baseball card is good

[rancid niche]

Baseball card is pretty good

[pale wolf]

im streaking on painted rn, last run was a free obelisk win bc of pants but you can make obelisk work in much worse circumstances https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1442687610454671390/screen-20251124-202106.mp4?ex=6926570a&is=6925058a&hm=2db25958e053360774e1b9c3cb6e90d3531a9588ba5f17e5065725f0f9c81566&

[latent egret]

if someting goes against your beliefs doers it have to be biased ?

[wintry ice]

if my most played hand isn't stacked that high i play 3 hands a round and it works out anyways because obelisk is that strong

i have yet to have an obelisk lower than 5x

[lunar zealot]

The only reason i had a 3x obelisk was bc i had it ante 7

[pale wolf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1441965330380492830/InShot_20251122_203347886.mp4?ex=6926595d&is=692507dd&hm=91291ab3863214565acdee37ba3f6d59c6adef91d23d5160f5f2921a4780a5a1&
a few runs before this

[quaint stag]

i had a run with hologram/baseball/throwback for abandoned deck

[latent egret]

if you have a foil and a flat source of mult, which is a lot of runs, you wi nwith obby

[rancid niche]

The other jokers are flexible

[kind creek]

I am tempted to take turtle bean here

[proper bronze]

i mean when i get it i have like 36 pairs played and 0 others so it's like not that hard

[lunar zealot]

if you get an even earlier obelisk you can get xmult to literally rival canio

[kind creek]

Lacking scoring very much, I think foil could help me

[kind creek]

also dice parking + turtle

[lunar zealot]

yes genius that's how you play obelisk

[wintry ice]

every loss i had with obelisk was because i was stupid

[rancid niche]

Same thing, flexible jokers. I think this is the only way to go with obelisk. Scaling jokers that aren't supernova

[lunar zealot]

have hand agnostic +mult and +chips so you can pivot

[lunar zealot]

'only' as if that's a bad thing

[pale wolf]

so you're saying that obelisk works with the most consistent, most played strategies already

which is reliable Jokers

[wintry ice]

"you can only win with this card if you play the game normally"

[lunar zealot]

are you like

[calm epoch]

erm

[lunar zealot]

ragebaiting

or something

[rancid niche]

I'm not saying it's a bad thing

[lunar zealot]

You very clearly are

[calm epoch]

is this normal for erratic deck

[lunar zealot]

unless for some reason i'm to read that as genuine

[wintry ice]

why are you stating it to discredit obelisk then

[calm epoch]

only 5 clubs 😭

[kind creek]

thats erratic deck's main thing

[faint birch]

yall get really worked up when someone isn't playing the game like you

[pale wolf]

Yes you are correct that there are situations where you should not take obelisk and it does happen
but the situation we were talking about was a double rare+poly skip into obelisk
presumably early game, where you should absolutely take it

[lunar zealot]

nothing is normal with erratic deck

[rancid niche]

I'm not... I'm stating it to understand obelisk better lmao

[calm epoch]

deck deckfixed itself ig

[quaint stag]

wtf is this lmao

[lunar zealot]

there it is

[proper bronze]

yes

[wintry ice]

strawman argument

[lunar zealot]

give me liberty

"if" and "when" but never is

[rancid niche]

To understand how I could win with obelisk if I ever pick it up because I think I never gave obelisk credit when it clearly wins gold stake runs

[wintry ice]

yeah it works with most gold stake strategies

[pale wolf]

To begin with, the double skip was already a huge mistake and the polychrome obelisk was a huge reward/jackpot

[wintry ice]

even a chip source as low as a foil is enough for it

[lunar zealot]

you say most when i think you should say the main gold stake strategy

[faint birch]

they're clearly not saying it's dogshit they're saying they don't get it, they're wanting to learn

[lunar zealot]

that being pairs with scaling +mult

[quaint stag]

i dont deck fix i pray and if i dont win i start again

[pale wolf]

my friend one day you will streak

[lunar zealot]

do you hold r if you don't beat the a1 small blind in 1 hand

[pale wolf]

and you will care about the loss

[wintry ice]

it also works with photo and fib builds

or some thing like mystic summit runner

[rancid niche]

God forbid someone doesn't know how to make use of certain strategies yet

[kind creek]

good meme idk why others didn't get it

[faint birch]

i like to use flush

[quaint stag]

no i do it in all 4 hands and i go out to the club like a man

[pale wolf]

people definitely are a little rude off the bat, can't just assume

[lunar zealot]

Damn

[pale wolf]

bottle full of bub

[autumn sphinx]

Guys i was going for a pairs run and obelisk made its appearance, do i take? (Ante 3)

[lunar zealot]

in my defense people are fucking stupid

[faint birch]

breaking out the copypasta is not a good sign

[lunar zealot]

how many pairs have you played

[pale wolf]

show the hand list and Jokers

[lunar zealot]

and do you have +chips and mult

[faint birch]

this doesn't help your defence at all

[lunar zealot]

Shocker

[rancid niche]

So anyone that doesn't play the game like you do is stupid?

[pale wolf]

is it defense or defence

[lunar zealot]

Literally not what i said but sure

[autumn sphinx]

Blue joker, and errosion (i have destroyed some of the cards)

[rancid niche]

Because the game is clearly supposed to be played one way right

[quaint stag]

erosion lowkey goated

[lunar zealot]

i played with your mom

[rancid niche]

Yeah here it comes the casual 5 year old behavior

[kind creek]

guys could you please stop insulting each other and giving sarcastic comments
I want to try and help people who ask for it and get help myself

[pale wolf]

when someone posts in here I assume they want objective, game-winning advice/discussion
anyone can play for fun how they want but theres factual things to be said

[quaint stag]

i love you hologram joker

[autumn sphinx]

Do i take obelisk than

(34 pair plays)

[lunar zealot]

i mean blue joker is completely antisynergistic with erosion is the thing

do you have chips from planets

[rancid niche]

Yeah which can be said without being a dick

[autumn sphinx]

I waa desperate for mult

[lunar zealot]

the main thing you need to consider is the obelisk pivot itself

[autumn sphinx]

Was*

[lunar zealot]

if you survive that you win

[faint birch]

so anyway, @rancid niche depending on your playstyle some jokers might just not be that good, despite being usually incredible for the optimised playstyle a lot of the power players use

[jovial plinth]

Man im on some insane luck

[autumn sphinx]

The erosion has foil

[wintry ice]

you can pivot to obelisk if you have levels on mars

[jovial plinth]

I neat purple stake first tru

Try

[lunar zealot]

what stake are you on

and ante

[autumn sphinx]

Blue

[lunar zealot]

Dude just send a screenshot or something

[autumn sphinx]

Ante 3 rn

[lunar zealot]

my god

[faint birch]

for instance, i don't really like to do pairs, i prefer flushes, which locks me out of a few pretty good joker strats

[proper bronze]

why are these dudes beefing over some a game with jokers and some cards like poker or something

[lunar zealot]

i think you definitely can pivot

[pale wolf]

playstyle isnt a valid excuse for losing imo

[autumn sphinx]

My phone screenshots dont work

[faint birch]

who the hell said that

[wintry ice]

i don't force strategies unless i'm sure i can do so

[autumn sphinx]

👍 , ill tell u how it gors

[pale wolf]

me? You just replied to it

are you hallucinating

[lunar zealot]

then again pairs are really the only build that can be reliably forced in the first place

[proper bronze]

who even plays this game

[lunar zealot]

given it's less the hand and more the jokers

[quaint stag]

not me

i hallucinate playing balatro

[kind creek]

@quaint stag you seem sane
do I take turtle bean here?
on one hand, I have big problems with scoring rn (Last hand brought me to 1503 on a 1500 blind)
on the other, it's foil and I would get Painted deck + turtle bean + dice parking

[rancid niche]

I was just trying to figure out what's the optimal strategy and early planning to pick up obelisk because I always get it in my shop and sometimes I feel like I should pick it up, but since I didn't know how to win with it I just didn't risk it

[faint birch]

what on earth are you on about

[lunar zealot]

eternal oops is a choice

[wintry ice]

it's chips and money generation

[lunar zealot]

I would definitely take bean here and sell business card

[pale wolf]

yea ive had enough of that ✌️

[lunar zealot]

you need to feed your red card somehow

[wintry ice]

i'd replace business card for it

[kind creek]

but business card is polychrome... with dice

[lunar zealot]

and the polychrome doesn't matter this early

[wintry ice]

yea

[lunar zealot]

it's ante 2

[wintry ice]

then parking ig

[lunar zealot]

+mult from red card is much more valuable than x1.5

[quaint stag]

i'd love to help but i'm lowkey buns at balatro sorry dude

[wintry ice]

if the polychrome is necessary

[latent egret]

indeed, ppl wanna take stuff in the wrong way no matter how oyu say it

[lunar zealot]

which it's not

just play straights

[pale wolf]

bean seems very pertinent with parking in tow, but did you scale red card this shop

[lunar zealot]

and if you get reserved money then play pairs

it's ante 2 so you will survive

[faint birch]

at this point if you wanna ask someone specifically dm them or everyone one else will weigh in

[rancid niche]

On level 1 flushes it's +2 mult

[proper bronze]

preferring one hands over others is suboptimal for a normal game but if you're doing some sort of challenge it's ok

[lunar zealot]

if you need flat scoring then find like a wheel or something you have oops

[pale wolf]

if you didn't scale red card and you're going to die next round then I guess you have to get rid of parking

[kind creek]

I thought I could keep it until ante 8 since I already have dice
red card is currently at +6, both packs skipped

[quaint stag]

red card is lowkey underrated as fuck tbh

[lunar zealot]

not really

[faint birch]

that's crazy i don't really wanna be optimal i wanna play it my way

[lunar zealot]

it's top 1 scaling +mult joker

[kind creek]

I got no planets other than a single saturn after ante 1 boss

[lunar zealot]

and anyone who thinks red card is bad doesn't know enough about the game

[wintry ice]

reddit:

[kind creek]

Just buffoon and booster packs mostly

[quaint stag]

i rarely see anyone use it

[pale wolf]

reddit* underrates red card to C tier lol

[pale wolf]

I meant Reddit I meant Reddit

fuck

[lunar zealot]

Because you're on reddit and youtube

[quaint stag]

its my favourite joker

[wintry ice]

reddit card

[proper bronze]

i think there's more strats that rely on pairs than those which rely on flushes, i can be wrong tho

[lunar zealot]

balatreddit is like an echo chamber in all the worst ways

[faint birch]

thats crazy i wanna play flushes tho

so

[pale wolf]

red card is EXCELLENT
it adds a winning option to every pack, which makes it both a utility joker and a scoring joker

[wintry ice]

yea pairs work with most oker combinations

[proper bronze]

flushes are good

[pale wolf]

they're... okay sometimes

[lunar zealot]

I have a whole writeup on this hang on

[proper bronze]

i love red card

[latent egret]

not really after ante 1

[pale wolf]

ugh

[quaint stag]

if you get an econ joker like cloud 9 or gold joker red card early can be really really broken

[faint birch]

true!

[wintry ice]

flushes need you to have like agate, aj or arrowhead

[lunar zealot]

red card makes every pack useful in some way---in an ideal world you will open every pack every shop, and not all of them will have hanged man, a joker you want, immolate, mercury, etc etc
in this sense red card contributes as both a scoring (helping you win) joker and as a utility (gives dud packs the ability to still contribute to scoring) joker
helping matters is its +mult per pack skipped, and comparing the overall +mult to its peers, green joker and ride the bus
the latter 2 gain +1 mult per hand; on most decks that is 12 mult per ante; in contrast, red card is +18 mult per ante should you skip all 6 packs per ante
However this +6 mult is often not seen much as a straight upside in terms of mult per ante because rarely do you ever skip every pack in a given ante; in this sense it should be thought of as a buffer to let you weigh what packs to skip and which ones to take, as overall red card has more variance in favor of it gaining mult compared to its peers due to that fact
overall red card simply covers a very solid utility niche of making every pack opened useful whether it be through offering the card you want, or by giving +mult to red card (and it cannot be overstated that a niche like this is Very Good) while also being a good scaling +mult joker in its own right

[proper bronze]

yeah

[wintry ice]

and i guess checkered

[kind creek]

I never noticed its usefulness until this run, where I had NO planet packs, barely any scoring jokers (eternal sly and droll) I refused to take in earlier buffoons
but here it's saving me

[lunar zealot]

Red card's only real prerequisite is needing a stable economy

[slate lance]

Good flush builds can generally be stronger tho i think

[faint birch]

never really need those tbh

[lunar zealot]

but like that's every joker's prerequisite

[rancid niche]

When it's paired with hallucination it's even better

[faint birch]

it helps tho

[pale wolf]

this is truly a lot of yap to say red card adds a winning option to every pack

[lunar zealot]

except like yorick or something self sufficient

[slate lance]

Rn im goldstaking checkered so im about to get my fsir share of flush runs

[lunar zealot]

Your mom's a winning option to every pack

[proper bronze]

they have a decent base mult, if you have jokers that are independent of the hand you play, it could be pretty good

[pale wolf]

bc shes the fuckin skipper
now to the brig

[latent egret]

worst thing is

[wintry ice]

anecdotes aren't very precise

[latent egret]

it's stil better as a winning strategy to go for pairs on checkered

[lunar zealot]

yes checkered is like ghost in a way where it provides early game strength

except instead of hex it's flushes

[autumn sphinx]

Ok uhm

I got a brainstorm but no gold

Im shop

[slate lance]

I mean it depends on what u can get

[faint birch]

right cos im talking about me

[latent egret]

i meant overall in terms of winning on average

[lunar zealot]

You do actually

[faint birch]

when i talk about me i mean im talking about me and what i want and what i like not referring to the optimal strategy yall like

[quaint stag]

unlocking brainstorm hurts my soul lowkey

[slate lance]

I guess so then yeah

[pale wolf]

I don't think this is actually true

[lunar zealot]

because jupiter scales horrendously

[slate lance]

Im only on green dtake rn tho since i just started basically

[faint birch]

nah

[faint birch]

works fine for me

[lunar zealot]

anecdotal

[faint birch]

yes!

[pale wolf]

vayn, our resident checkered deck expert and likely the only skilled player to actually put a significant amount of time into checkered, uses flushes like 70% of checkered runs

[faint birch]

good you're getting it

[slate lance]

Just started checkered not goldstaking in general

[lunar zealot]

what's her streak

52?

i forgot

[pale wolf]

something like 42

[lunar zealot]

close enough

i think she's played like 12800 flushes too

i need to ask her what kind of drugs she's on

[proper bronze]

i like streaked from white to black stake on blue deck and that was my first ever win

[quaint stag]

isn't that what you're supposed to do in checkered

[faint birch]

but i heard it's literally impossible to win with flushes because its bad or something

[quaint stag]

go for flushes?

[pale wolf]

yeah, the person was saying that pairs are still better on checkered but I don't believe it myself

[faint birch]

if you get a shortcut tho

[pale wolf]

flushes are just as consistent as pairs on checkered

[lunar zealot]

Checkered is like ghost

in that it provides early game strength

[slate lance]

Ifk how someone can play a similar hand so many times and on the same deck, i dont like doing the same thing over and over, part of the reason why i hate whenever i get photo atp

[lunar zealot]

but in the same way that your hexed joker can be good the whole way through

flushes can be similar

[faint birch]

i quite like checkered but i never actually play it that often

i just got the flush bug from it then moved onto other decks to do flushes

[slate lance]

Im genuinely only playing it rn for c+

[wintry ice]

depends on what you get

[lunar zealot]

Like there was this one time i somehow made blackboard work on a flush run

[wintry ice]

it's easier to use scaling mult jokers with pairs so

[lunar zealot]

flush bloodstone run in fact

No fucking clue how

[pale wolf]

when you have crazy tarot gen

[slate lance]

When im fone with c+ im going ghost and green and anaglyph until c++

[pale wolf]

oh what the fuck

[frank crescent]

Green deck beaten

[pale wolf]

thats messed up kami

[lunar zealot]

YES

[wintry ice]

blackboard moment

[lunar zealot]

fork would kill me if she found out

[faint birch]

deck control is usually amazing anyway

[lunar zealot]

Flush bloodstone

[pale wolf]

gg

[frank crescent]

I was struggling to get this off the ground until I realized "space joker sucks ass" and just took photo for xmult

[quaint stag]

peak

[slate lance]

I wouldnt say space joker sucks ass

[proper bronze]

the first golden stake i got was on abandoned deck

[wintry ice]

space joker probably would have helped more than smiley

[frank crescent]

I would say space joker sucks ass it barely proced once

[faint birch]

i like to fish for my seals and start genning tarrot and planets, so i have pretty solid scaling and deck fixing midway

[quaint stag]

space joker can be really funny with decent luck

[wintry ice]

given that most of that +mult won't be multiplied

[lunar zealot]

sometimes i look back at my old balatro runs and think what the hell was i doing

my first ever gold stake run i won because of

fucking

double polychrone stencil

[proper bronze]

me when this space dude doesn't trigger since i bought him in ante 4

[slate lance]

Pk tbf sometimes it sucks

[kind creek]

oh it's beautiful
(I went above 50$ on the small blind)

[slate lance]

But it can work rlly well

[lunar zealot]

LIES AND SLANDER

[faint birch]

sounds like a build if you enjoy yourself and it works

[lunar zealot]

THE ONLY X1.5 UNCOMMON JOKER I LIKE

IS BASEBALL CARD

[wintry ice]

space joker is a value generator

can't go wrong with those

[frank crescent]

It's like the eagles at that last game it got halfway in and it just stopped working even though it did alright at the start

[lunar zealot]

no i actually almost lost the run to violet vessel and only won because i found a luchador

[fervent plover]

getting big scores with this deck

[faint birch]

space joker once missed 14 times in a row and can fuck off

[fervent plover]

wish i cld get something more flush related

[slate lance]

Im surprised i genuinely found a good use for seance on one of my checkered runs
For the first time seance provided something for me lol

[kind creek]

baseball itself is rare I think

[wintry ice]

deviation is a part of randomness yes

[lunar zealot]

maybe find an econ joker

[fervent plover]

econ?

[lunar zealot]

Money

[wintry ice]

money generation

[proper bronze]

big like 50k

[lunar zealot]

econ = economy

[wintry ice]

like a gold seal or whatever

[lunar zealot]

a good part of the game is being able to stabilize and manage your econ

[fervent plover]

32k

[pale wolf]

but it puts 1.5 on uncommon

[faint birch]

i choose to view the world emotionally and not purely rationally detatched from my feelings so i can enjoy things more personally. therefore space joker is a bitch

[fervent plover]

have like 4 seals. red and blue i think

[kind creek]

speaking of space joker, I just wanted to confirm, a +3 turtle bean is worth selling for a polychrome + dice space joker, right?

[lunar zealot]

Because money can be exchanged for goods and services

[crystal kiln]

I think this was my best run yet

[shell dagger]

yes

[pale wolf]

I think so

[proper bronze]

yo that's me

[wintry ice]

pressed over joker game

[pale wolf]

oh you even have grabber absolutely

[faint birch]

oh shit yeah definitely

[lunar zealot]

Photo contributing a massive fuckall to your score as it should ❤️

[kind creek]

I put my faith in you, All 6s.
Please do not let me down.

[shell dagger]

I think you can start playing straights now even if they are level 1

[faint birch]

huh? do you not like allow yourself to become invested in the activities you enjoy?

[pale wolf]

tbh I don't start this

[faint birch]

it's not genuine rage

it's playing it up, stakes and drama

haha get it

[pale wolf]

i just let the parking money ride with pair levels

[lunar zealot]

@pale wolf is this what i sound like 😭

[shell dagger]

It’s painted tho

[kind creek]

Not what I meant but I guess I'm going heart flushes now.

[pale wolf]

yea for parking 😄

[shell dagger]

That’s an insane amount of scaling

[lunar zealot]

oh no

[wintry ice]

i'd just go into pairs or two pair

[shell dagger]

Have you had the head yet?

[pale wolf]

I don't feel confident in playing four or five straights per round Plus that is more cards I get to farm money with parking

[wintry ice]

oh wait

[lunar zealot]

Woah take them out to dinner first

[wintry ice]

you have oops

[terse vale]

when we do they call us tryhards or sweats

[frank crescent]

[kind creek]

Sadly not

[proper bronze]

90% of the time i get oops all 6s is when i don't have anything that relies on luck and like never when i have space joker or some stuff

[wintry ice]

and an easy enough way to generate flush levels

yea go ahead

[shell dagger]

I mean bloodstone admittedly is pretty good here lol

[faint birch]

i'll probably do it ironically at some point

[kind creek]

but I assume space would level my flushes enough so that I can win anyway with other suits + red card

[lunar zealot]

don't tell fork

[pale wolf]

i uhhh dont think so

[proper bronze]

the best straight deck

[pale wolf]

oop do you have levels

[lunar zealot]

Spaceman

[wintry ice]

yeah you could keep red card for safety

[terse vale]

that is a really good smile emoji hooly

[pale wolf]

yeah but if they don't have any levels then they might just die by getting rid of red card

if space Joker decides to take a vacation

[kind creek]

dice spaceman, mind you

[faint birch]

being a "tryhard" is not a bad thing. we all like to do things our own way.

[autumn sphinx]

Yo kami

[slate lance]

Does anyone here actually like yellow deck

[autumn sphinx]

I won ^^

[pale wolf]

A lot of people do but I do not

[autumn sphinx]

Its aight

[pale wolf]

admittedly it is a powerful deck but I get bored on it

[somber monolith]

ME

[lunar zealot]

it's like the 2nd best deck in the game

[wintry ice]

it's a strong deck

[proper bronze]

being a tryhard is a good thing wdym

[slate lance]

I mean its the easiest for goldstake but once u do it, its just boring

[wintry ice]

but also monotone

[faint birch]

yellow deck is nice cos i love the economy

[kind creek]

Oh I was actually considering giving up the parking because of this
and since I am above 25$ anyway

[slate lance]

Strong doesnt mean fun necessarily

[frank crescent]

Yes it's fun

[pale wolf]

I think blue is both more consistent and more fun for gold steak

[proper bronze]

🤑

[wintry ice]

getting insane starts just because of the cash injection is funny though

[faint birch]

i like anaglyph because i find double tags fun

[lunar zealot]

I prefer painted definitely

[pale wolf]

That's fair actually you won't be able to farm much with playing flushes and you don't need money anymore

[wintry ice]

like what do you mean i can take both wee and red card from the round 1 shop now

[slate lance]

Ghost is most fun for me and green has best econ imo

[faint birch]

painted is great you can get flushes so easily

[pale wolf]

I would definitely say a no on the Green Deck thing

[frank crescent]

Got copper injected directly into my veins through an iv call that a money injection

[wintry ice]

green is a net loss in econ by lategame

[lunar zealot]

this but unironically

[pale wolf]

and in the early game makes it much more volatile by not having a stable interest flow

[slate lance]

Why? If you one shot you get a lot

[lunar zealot]

though flushes are easy to deckfix for painted or not

[pale wolf]

One-Shotting is a privilege

[faint birch]

i was completely unironic there

[wintry ice]

considering that you're usually using all of your resources when you have value generating cards

[somber monolith]

Flushes suck big time

[slate lance]

Ur assuming i wont have pivoted my run to have as many hands as possible by then

[shell dagger]

If you one shot then you aren’t digging though your deck, and so you aren’t finding as many gold cards etc

[silk tapir]

odd win but was fun

[lunar zealot]

I like painted but not for flushes necessarily

[faint birch]

well i like them

[wintry ice]

flushes are decent on painted but i'd prefer playing straights or two pair for the chips

[somber monolith]

Youll realise it eventually

[pale wolf]

I mean if you have gold cards then you discard for them because it's worth it, the same way you play hands to find rebate cards

[slate lance]

How about just dont play painted at all

Thats the best choice

[lunar zealot]

it's a good pivot point definitely but i would prefer straights

[faint birch]

in hand goes crazy on it i get you

[autumn sphinx]

But but think of the baron potential-

[wintry ice]

baron flushes

[shell dagger]

And it’s even more punishing on green deck

[lunar zealot]

Your mom has baron potential

[fervent plover]

ill kill this mf

[somber monolith]

<333

[shell dagger]

Because then you’re getting no deck benefit AND no interest

[faint birch]

600 other people have tried to convert me to your religion and they failed, it's not working. i'm 2 jokers away from c++ and i won't change.

[pale wolf]

if you're only discarding and you are still one-shotting I think you still come out on top with green deck

[jagged valve]

Get ready for Canio and Triboulet

[pale wolf]

It's the one-shotting that is not really the reliable Factor imo

[autumn sphinx]

The arm.

[lunar zealot]

why are we talking about religion on balatrocord

[autumn sphinx]

I also hate the eye

[lunar zealot]

jesus

[pale wolf]

remember canio glazer

[faint birch]

MY GOD

[shell dagger]

$2 less than another deck in the same scenario at full interest

[slate lance]

But instead of gold cards u get the improved econ, lets say u have 5 hands cause of smt like the handy voucher ur getting 8 bucks and then an additional 2 from discards thats 10 bucks, on top of the gold cards u mightve gotten on first draw

[pale wolf]

yeah fair, the gold cards would contribute to interest on other decks

[faint birch]

yall just start the church of pair, you need to work on branding more

[kind creek]

I think this will be the last time I ask for help this run
Luchador instead of a +15 (+21 with those two packs) worth it or not?
