my first few run wins when i started the game were hallucination
my favorite tarot gen
Yorick past blue deck you have to get it before ante6 or its just wont carry you unless ur build is already nice
yeahhh 
i hate trib with all my veins

you hate everything girl
I love you
I think its abstract
Theres more
Hey I love you
Same
Theres more lesbians
Same
Anyways
and if you get trib before ante 6....
who
then what
Everyone and you included
most people arent deckfixed to all queens or kings
holy crap it's mr penis
and its difficult to deckfix to that in 2 antes
Is it even possible to afford that? In any reality?
ew
-2 for this 
lesbians rise up
Oh
yellow
it's at least an x3 in ante 6 which is absolutely heat
unconditional x3?? count me in
I wouldn't say 150 but hes right abt everything else
no way it’s @copper knoll
it's reddit, so misinformation gets upvotes and accurate information gets downvotes
You need 23 cards?
or they rather
blueprint should erase all of that
it's basically a reverse stack overflow
so 1x every ante
i'm half lesbian does it count
unconditional 1x every ante
Yes
and youre complaining
sure
Wungus requires conversation
unlike triboulet
I dont think its better than trib but i have gotten trib like twice
which requires a lot of deckfixing
That depends on what this tier list is measuring. Ante 8 runs, ante 8 speedruns, ante 39, and trying for Nan-inf are all ways to play Balatro that have some commonalities, but they still require different playstyles that result in needing different jokers.
That said for all those, I need to know why Perkeo is only “pretty good” instead of “HEAT.”
blocked message bruh
guys.... showman can give you two souls potentially...... how op is that..... 
ante 8 runs, and its because I find perkeo to be a little underwhelming sometimes
What does 2 showmans do
delete reddit
baseball card value
I like the deckfixing and money it gives you but I'd rather have all the jokers in the heat tier
personally at least
It could give u 2 showmans tho
Look at his hat
Hot
Take up 2 joker slots
the second showman is replacing another uncommon anyway
two souls in the small arcana pack 🔥
four souls in the standart pack
I like showman i can get more bloodstones
and one of them will hit
only one

girl youre not good at this
thats a big obelisk
hating on bloodstone moment
oh 69
Hi
shoveler i believed in you :(
nice
Im joking lmao
it was 2 when i started typing 😔 i'm not very good at this
awa
Got 3 black holes this run lol
3 oaks
I opened so many planet packs this run hoping for a black hole and just having to skip instead
well i typed 2 initially too 😡 but who corrected herself??? 🤬 ME
I dont like bloodstone very much
the most undeserved gold stake win but I'll take it. i won from a degenerate credit card
girl you angry asf
youre expelled btw
Yeah, played erotic deck and was a perfect deck for 3oak
But i like to play hearts cus they are the amongus which is sick
face with symbols over mouth emoji
blueprint should punish you
played WHAT deck?
for angry
Very erotic
im not into that weird stuff
That is NOT what its called
Analglyph deck is my fav
The catch with Perkeo is the same catch with Brainstorm and Blueprint: it’s only as good as the card it’s copying. That means it has the same floor and ceiling as the other copy jokers, but it depends on the consumables found instead of other jokers. I feel like that should bump him up because even the worst consumables are $4 extra from selling the negative copies, and money, even small increments, can make or break an ante 8 run. That’s why I think Perkeo’s heat.
its not very erratic for me
what if blueprint is
good
yeah cause it sucks
doesnt mean its good
what legendary are good
doesn't make it not suck
triboulet is good
I love trib
Ricky and canio and chicot and perkeo
yeah you can get free 10 dollars and buy a voucher
supernova is wayy too high i think. and bus is a better jokeler than grimbo in my opinion
also you're underrating glass joker and hrt and loyalty and flowerpot
so many blocked messages
these econ jokers are crazy
Chicot is good for selling
same
I hate flower pot and loyalty card
wow theres another blocked message
Hit the road mostly sucks
i think this tier list would be c tier if the tier names were S/A/B/C/D/etc but since it's subjective it's pretty ok
is contrarianism the new thing now
im always right
All legendaries are good if you can build around them… well, except Chicot. Chicot doesn’t need a build around.
That doesn’t mean they’re great unless you’re willing to put the work into them.
my whole chat is blocked except you
epic the musical reference
even me ? 🥀
And supernova looks cooler than the other scaling +mult jokers
no
same, i only see the lesbians
i have more pronouns so i'm more right
that is my entire reasoning for having it that high
what do pronouns have to do with this
we're just that good
Bus is my favorite scaling mult joker because it both allows discards and a transition to obelisk
perkeo vs brainstorm whos better
Brainstorm
hu?
all
me
but its a rare
they're very bad but they can save your life if you need them to imo. something like idol or baron or bloodstone is just not going to do anything ever. lose less >>> win more or whatever idk
brainstorm
rarity doesn't dictate if it's better or not
no i lose with mime
depends
I only like loyalty card specifically with Burger
what the fuck does it have to do with rarity
i wouldn't put them super high but i'd put baron and idol and showman and bloodstone in a tier all by themselves
skill issue
according to this guy showman > cavendish
everybody loves me
bloodstone oops got me a gs win
cant hate
bloodstone is not as bad as the rest
I love my wife more tho
if it is more rare its better
Why doesn't steven trigger on face cards 😠
I hate Bloodstone
no
in my personal experience bloodstone has never saved me and loyalty/flowerpot/even throwback have saved me a couple of times
Bloodstone has saved me a bunch
one uncommon is easier to get than two uncommons
I will never use flower pot or throwback
i don't have one😔
The tarot booster pack joker in the top tier is kinda insane to me
one day you will, trust
i think that placement is based
one day...
Hallucination is top 2 tarot gen depending on your preferences

who do all the lesbians have to be already taken
objectively? probably not that good
subjectively? hell yeah i love hallucination
it is NOT better than vagabond or perkeo
Vagabond and 8 ball are my top 2

I can see why one might prefer vagabond but I like hallucination
awa
I dont consider perkeo tarot gen
when i want to watch jolly but my witch wife wants to watch spooky
even though it is
then I don’t trust your list 🙂
For me personally itd be like a c or b tier
is blueprint a witch
the gif is showing in my head
Perkeo can be any consumable gen
if you download the gif you can send it
i think you should try out midas and certificate. they're some of the best value generators in the game
most
cert especially is run winning
which is why I dont consider it true tarot gen
also yeah certificate is a better tarot gen than hallucination tbh
even though it isnt its sole purpose
Delayed gratification in bottom is so insulting
certificate is my favorite scaling chips joker
I love delayed gratification :[
yeah I made this list a couple weeks ago id put them higher
I hate delayed gratification
chicot is the best tarot generator
It is tho
almost the whole chat being blocked so fucking pissing me off dude
I might get c++ besides delgrat out of pure spite
it just isnt tarot gen
It's card gen
Lets me buy more tarots
I'd consider it best card gen
hmm
what does idol hit if all cards are stone?
Technically purple seals = more tarots
Ace of spades
yes which is why its card gen
it generates purple seal jokers
Ace of spades.
Is this any better
with that mindset every econ joker is tarot gen
so does it trigger on stone cards or nah
Does anyone ever actually buy green joker when it shows up?
I feel like I never use it.
No.
imagine not currently being on ur best streak currently
yes
Show ur best streak rn
imagine sucking at the game
nearly always in ante 1-2
What stake
99% collection everybody clown on this guy
It's a fairly average stats sheet
time zones
3 gold many times
I love grimbo
it's 4 am
Engagement bait my beloved.
its the best +mult scaling joker
chicot makes it more likely to defeat boss blinds which makes you more likely to get to the next shop to get more tarot cards
Im better than everyone in this chag rn bow beneath the raised fist cult
it's a very good joker
Jokerless is so ass
Im joking btw
4pm here so they all active
why
you dont need to say that youre joking i think sarcasm can be interpreted very easily
shortcut activates neurons
oh
Werent u just a hornet?
why is this darker than campfire
would be cool
Rabmen.
no thats another lesbian
no that's forc
actually I took the darkness from campfire
I’m playing a combo of lucky flush house, 4/5 of a kind. Holo is 12x. I’m confused, who do I brainstorm? Is there scenarios where it changes or it always to brainstorm/blueprint x type of joker?
type @very
oh
mmh ya ya
i guess i sell golden
i need hibernation but i can't sleep so i'm here
I see... i see lots of lesbians
change nick to very gay pansexual mime
good
Real
Not every run is this generous and you'll realize that as you ascend the stakes.
no thank you
no you didn't (ignore the shit editing)
for the most part you copy photo unless its glass
Worship the raised fist
pog, temprenece could never
Its ok if you dont make any sudden movements or mention bloodstone or baron they cant hurt you
Well I have gold stake wins, but I’m still ass.that’s why I’m asking what to dupe, retrig or x mult?
the Ox reference
Im scared too its ok
i'll change it to this instead
Xmult.
dollar
i'm not even opening those blocked messages bruh
dollar
so true so true
EQV3WPNZ early wee and invis, i couldnt get past ante 3 cus i didnt have any mult, probably could have done better
What about for glass and lucky? Still?
I'm going for C++ and i still haven't unlocked all joker, am i cooked?
hmm so it appears
ill take a gaze
i'm guessing you sampled it from campfire in-game. i think there's a shader that increases saturation
If glass copy chad as for lucky cards it's interchangeable.
they are both less then 2 ante in
Appreciate it
Do i finish this portrait now or do i stop and start the merry andy portrait
finish now
🫡🫡
What is this supposed to be.
Do I take sock and buskin idk what to drop
A girl with a deer skeleton around her head with flowers in front of her face
shortcut card sharp sounds fun
yes, drop photo or hanging
cardsharp is never fun
Its a college but painted
I mean the fact that i didn't recognize it i guess tells that you need to finish.
Well i mean the girl and one of the flowers arent painted yet but i hope the deer skeleton and the flowers r discernible
nah i had the sprite file, i mustve darkened it and then forgot
idk if i like it tbh
This is tuff
I like it
Yike
what is this
Runs still on it will come back around
a shield
what would it do?
the main thing is that the way the lighting works doesn't seem that similar to how balatro's art does it
the background is also a little strange
it looks nice though
…
This challenge is really hard...
Any tips?
yea
dont make a build around card triggers
i like this idea a lot but how would it effect stuff like glass joker
just not help it at all?
they'd scale but the card would stay
perhaps
Alright 👌
perhaps the order of the Jokers would matter
would this also apply to gros ?
no, I think Jokers that consume themselves are a different sort of thing
just because
fair
but it would prevent madness from destroying things
Hello, game discussion chatters
ohhh
Well that stings
so like a eternal function oitside of high stakes
idk it
pack :p
i like that idea
Credit Card in the Buffoon Pack, so true
same thing essentially except it's xmult and it's rare and it adds a copy to the deck instead of preventing destruction
If there's a credit card in here im gonna do a little jig
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. 🫵
oh yeah sort of the same thing
i officially aged up gang
Hey it's pancake on bnuy guy! Hello
cool joker so shield is cool joker by extension i think
even better than a credit card, a bus
Hi blue pikman.
would it also do the same with dagger
weird question
yeah I think so, as long as it was to the right
That's me! Hello hello, hope you're doing well :)
tbh maybe even 25 is overtuned
i think so
I have bad news for you, localthunk is reworking blue pikmin in 2026
selling Jokers isn't destroying them I think
guess we're doing a 180
they do the same animation
yeye
WHAT!!!!1!!!11!!1!1!1!!1!1!!!!11!11!
id go as far to tone it down to 10
yeah but like, it's not the wording involved
I'm using that excuse for the food Jokers as well
i feel like preventing destruction of cards is already too good
A pair of pair of trousers that gain a pair of mult if a pair of pairs is paired 😍
pants + zany joker, did a full house build, and yeah, full house is bad
immolate with bull is an instant 40 chips so to tone it to the same level it would be 8 chips per destroyed card
biggest bait in history
Is there cryptid mobile (prob not)
I was looking for my trousers man, why'd you steal 'em??
-# jokes aside that run is already looking fun
LMAOOO
yesm
come on man it'll totally be fine, polychrome brainstorm is better than polychrome blueprint after all, come on you're totally going to get stencil next
are you atleast inmortal
Spare trousers? More like pair trousers
How?
👖 👖
#📜・modding-rules as well
yes chips seems like a crazy amount to give especially when accounting this synergy with dagger and madness
Does it matter if the pc can't run balatro?
no
theres an immolate on the buffon pack to get my interest up too
I'll do it tomorrow too late for pc rn
Mmkay
I really love your profile picture.
Zombies on ur lawn...
I wouldn't honestly.
Dw me neither 
Well, it still is that horrible challenge, so the run could go horribly 🪦
Plants vs. Zombies 2
I believe in you
My ADHD can't be satiated with just 4 servers with 2 of them being dead most of the time.
I NEED more.
bonanza
my something is fine with only 1 and only ever entering this text channel
nice
Big.
i dont play jokerless anymore
I will feed my children to campfire joker
This was my first time 😭
The other challenges should be easy asf
Ive done cruelty golden needle and jokerless already
15th century europe.
i dont like jokerless as its too hard and too boring for me
Congrats!!! 🎉
Display name checks out!
Tyy :3
OH NO STOP FIRE REACTING THE POPE IS BURNING HIM
Fair it did take me a lot of tries
I got blue seals going rlly early
Is that modded?
Also took a hieroglyph but made up for it with the discard vouch3r
NOOOOO I HATE YOU 15TH CENTURY POPE YOU SHALL BE DAMNDEDDD
good afternoon balatronians
Hellooo
is today the day we finally get 100%?
99.99%
c++ is the last thing i need on my current savefile
and then i've completed it
Oh you got this man
Sell a Baron for a chance at getting a second Mime? Or keep as is?
I did all that in a haze while overly caffeinated
Like he said, 15th century
As is, is fine.
What are your hand levels? Also, can check it out for yourself with the Balatro Calculator
sell luchador??
Right, and the retrigger to scoring ratio is good
Lvl 68 pluto. Also, didn't know about the calculator
No worries
Can send you the link if it doesn't show up in the search results
(I doubt it won't but yeah)
Considering that you reed seal steel king then you have 3 retriggers total and 4 xmult triggers.
or 2's
So getting another mime is the move but you don't need to rush because this is fine as is.
Yea the customization here is very dry.
I think I may have to do it myself 
-# /lh
Time to get mod perms.
smallest bait in history (dont talk bout the eternal swash pls)
*talks about the eternal Swash*
heartbroken rn
You sure you can't take it? Well, I can't see the other critical info to help you make that decision anyway
-# /nm
I'm doing a 3oak build and wondering if I should keep michel for the chance of cavandish (it debuffs in 3 rounds) or just take zany for the garneted +12
Tf is garneted 😭
They meant to say 'guaranteed'
Idk I just trusted Discord's auto correct lol
Ah
Well it was a scuffed run but the eternal egg on the first shop somehow carried
Through a ton of temperance
I'm a bad influence and would say "GAMBLE GAMBLE GAMBLE" because my Gros Michels often die early but it's really your choice
well ive got 42 whole dollars and 3oak which im playing has 190 chips, blue had 110 so i sold it
wtf why do you have eternal swash im gonna kill somebody because of this
im scoring 300k per hand rn im js looking for a useless joker to carry to the end tbh
isnt bs better than blue joker
Good choice
prioritize a high rarity useless joker
yeh i sold blue joker and picked up bs
not me tho 
i wanna play gta 6 yk
cant die soon

lmao watchall think bout this
LOL
id have to skip atleast a blind to get the poly effect...
cautionary tale of why poly tag is garbage
not a poly tag joker tho
ik, but it could've been
Why do beginners find it impossible to win without a legendary
What beginners 
In the beninging
-# /ref
Are we talking about white stake
Gotta ask Guama about that
Yes them beginners
Ahh
Das funny
I think we can all agree on the fact that it's because they're beginners, you said it yourself
-# /nm, gen
Gotta learn more stuff about the game so they should play more
In result of that, losing is expected to learn
Ah yellow deck my beloved
Im scared of how hard blue stake will be ive heard its the biggest difficukty jump
Even if they did have a legendary, it's not even a guaranteed win because they're bound to make mistakes or get an ill-suited legendary for their current run
eh not really, the effect of blue stake has been greatly exaggerated
Tbf I have hundreds of hours and sometimes I still fumble a run with a legendary
orange and gold stake are the difficulty jumps you'll really notice
Red to green is a big difficulty jump
Agreed, actually.
I’ve yet to beat any gold stake, closest is green deck for me
Hey, ay ay, slow down there don't fall into the elitism vortex.
Yellow Deck is so fun
Its took me 3 days to beat green stake
what would yall choose for this carry invis joker or superpos

id say invis since its more rarer but i wanna know yalls judgment
I would not carry an Eternal Superposition
In honest opinion, superposition is not a good joker ever
Oh wait you're doing stickers??
"or superpos".
yup
Oop
Yes Invis imo
Oop.
aighty
Maybe overkill for a 4k Blind?
😁
Superpos (lol) will come by easier next time
probably invis
superposition is a better joker and it's common
Hell yeah, thas why I believed
great job!
whats wrong bout calling it superpos 😭
ion wanna say ition
im a super pos
Any itions in the chat.
Is there a way to get more Rounds or Joker slots?
hieroglyph and petroglyph give you more rounds
only negatives and antimatter can give you joker slots
You can play as many rounds until you die as for joker slots there's antimatter voucher and ectoplasm.
"pos" is slang for "piece of shit"
So we found it funny, even though you didn't mean it. "Superpos" meant super piece of shit LOL
oooooh
No the rounds to use cards
I meant hands sorry
+2
Ugh
what
The voucher straight up gives 1 joker slot but ecto converts one of your existing non-enhanced jokers into negative but takes handsize from you.
or nat neg invis...
Well for hands there are two vouchers and there's burglar which can be copied by blueprint at the start of the round.
Negative tags are so good
i didnt know this until today wth 😭
This game sure gets confusing
thats mad funny
This sucks.
Also so
I noticed a pattern
A holographic card has a +10 multipler to it or something like that?
another one for the collection
At least Jokers
https://www.balatrowiki.org
This website is super helpful for those starting out as long as you don't mind seeing spoilers for the game's locked Jokers, vouchers, etc.
yeah
playing cards too
It can also be applied to cards.
I wish to be covered in foil
there's also foil which is +50 chips and polychrome which is x1.5 mult
and fluorescent, which increases game brightness by 2x, helps you see better
Yeah
jeeeebus that's one hell of a straight flush
yeah hes like really good
Just deck testes
what
average bloodstone user
Is there a score limit for the game? I think the game is too lazy to calculate it.
Hey thats me
rest in peace
gotta be cheated in wtf
Idk i saw someone score 1000 points once its gotta be around there
-nan
Balls? 
Well
Idk
I just activated the debug mode and I'm seeing how far the game goes.
I'm still amazed at how lucky you have to be to pick some wild cards and make good plays.
Here's an unfun fact: The top left corner of the dotted line on the Overstock voucher is slightly thicker than the rest
I have been cursed with this knowledge, and now I am cursing all of you as well :)
Out of topic but I love Baba is You and that Discord tag is very amusing to me
Lol Mr Bones win still counts
Yes it does
where seance
bands
Baba Is Peak
odd todd with two hanging chads goes crazy ngl
this is my deck viewer
Finally passed it
Yet another easy bloodstone win
if you wanted to get a big hand size you can look up the crimson bean bug or the chicot manacle bug
oh wtf
if i sell a joker debuffed by crimson heart does it debuff another joker? im running joker stencil
they hated jesus because she spoke the truth
So you've been stealing all our Spare Trousers, huh? /j
im not using bugs i aint a bitch
woah woah woah
Farthest yet
my plan is to fill my joker slots then go into crimson heart, sell the debuffed jokers and every single one when it doesnt debuff bull/joker stencil
There has never been a more consistent card than bloodstone it never misses
Its guaranteed to hit
No its not lmao
Yes i love to see it
I'd take 2 or 3 steels over bloodstone any day of the week
yeah checks out

when i pick up bloodstone it usually procs half the time
average trans girl smh
Id say like 1/4 the time realistically
just nothign but misinformation
My last challenge 🙏
Not doing the community justicncome on bruh
I would like bloodstone a lot more if it said
per failed trigger
that would be quite funny
Im sure theres a mod for that
That was so fun to play, hope you enjoy it
-# /gen
I want it to do a loud incorrect buzzer every time it fails
you have you ever seen the video thats like "i created the hardest balatro mod, nopelatro"
Now THAT'S a mod worth making
Tyy
Its just medusa with extra steps
Mmhm
Id never here it cus my bloodstone never miss
its like every joker has a 1 in 2 chance to not proc
For sure, yeah... /lh
baron build against plant but every time the debuffed cards try to trigger it makes a bonk sound
and honestly it doesnt even really give "hardest gamemode" it gives most annoying gamemode
no i like the clicking noises
Oh I love the debuffed sound 
Technically the hardest balarro mod would.just make the blind size like 1 billion
Fair
This but it just tazes you
bloodstone ?
Oh my god we spawned it
balatro but every blind is crimson heart
no
i have to uncommon block for seance
Not worth
you have to understand
i actually just passed bbc
crimson heart/verdant leaf fodder

Never pass up on bbc
Also what is ur scoring??
observatory
Ah i didnt see that
should i sell trousers? +44 mult
Yes
v large blind 1.2m
Levels and deck info
U have 212 dollars no matter whT it is just roll for luchador
could sell trousers
god damn
I'm not really sure what happened but only one Joker left for C++
cola 😛
1 more sticker in the bag! joker stencil is very fun
I cant see a way that trousers is more valuable than having it copy chad here
i got groker, not skipping
If you took enough levels for your desired hand and draw your wanted cards consistently then take Brainstorm, yeah
...groker?
Yes, I agree
green joker
nah bro thats grimbo
we copy photo btw
I think you'll be fine, it's Brainstorm time
is it too early to take idol
if youre going for an ante 8 win its always too early but yes
Right, the balancing of retriggers and scoring
lets go ty blue
Why?
its grok er
balance retriggers and scoring
grok is this true
No problem, Shovel and Ivy helped too :)
ty shovel and ivy as well!
I believe it is the same under this circumstance if im counting correctly also hiker scaling
🤑
Yummy chips 
Wait its 1 less
copy chad = 5 triggers 1 scoring
copy photo = 3 triggers 2 scoring
Fr
hiker is negligible here
Somebody needs to make Balatro Chips with Mult sauce
Its one less trigger i cant count
I think for drunkard is a fair swap atm
Those 25 chips sound fye tho
Thank ur lucky stars and take brain storm
Thx
KIMFZKFV 1st skip wee, medium blind hack, i couldnt find any other good/decent scoring jokers or streanghts/deaths (only got to ante 3 though)
I finally got this stupid flower to look right thank you bloodstone
false attribution
Zebra is the Discord server link in your bio legit?
Cats have nine lives, so statistically it would proc at least once I suppose. But your cat still got lucky.
am i the only one that gets stuck either with shit econ or with shit scoring
just beat the boss blind in one hand lol stocked up on tons of lucky cards
like baisicaly only way i won is with face cards/with photo+chad
groker and burger in a small blind mega buffon skip in ante 2 is still my fav run ive ever had
my high card was insane
and little bit with chips on plazma
also i adore space joker shenanigans
That's a free win right there and agreed, very much a fun run
anyone knows how to help ):
im not, only maybe rare or negative for funziez, but even then i rarely skip
Rule breaker done!
remember that skipping a blind is also skipping a shop, meaning youre losing out on a free reroll. rare and negative tags get worse btw since once you get to higher stakes, theres a higher chance that the joker they apply to has a condition
what was this run?
I never realised how much Hone actually helped u get edition jokers
This was monolith
Its a challenge run
Negarive obelisk looks sick
right
gay constellation goated
i had a wierder one (double or nothing challange)
You need to remember working around saving money for the interest and buying what you need/think you'll need. This skill comes with playing the game more, or learn from the best players. Dr. Spectred has many videos you may want to watch :]
-# /nm
we love stencil shenanigans
i watch doctor all the time lmfao
his videos are really good
I found him a little late but yes, I agree. Still learned a bit from him ^_^
Econ management is a really important thing to learn in Balatro. Having little to no econ, you will automatically lose more often than not, as you have likely already learned
on 1st shop i open a bafoon pack if there is one, and usualy try to get to 25 asap and not drop below that, but i often try to reroll to get somthing for my build, get nnothing, mess up my econ and die
What stakes do you usually play on? /genq
You reroll too much?
im trying to get gold stake on all, im curently orange on checkared
Ahh I see
i dont go below 25 untill i feel like im not scaling too fast, and then die cus i dont get anything good
im on gold stake abandoned i love having a deck thats pre thinned for straights and other shenanigans
Hmm, I see. Well, I do have a friend that had the most insane unlucky streak in Balatro, even when he showed me that he was doing things "by the book." I hope you don't have it, of course. I say just keep playing the game as long as it's fun.
so basically you have to branch out and stop doing the "easy" combos
That too!
you're likely skipping useful joker scalers
you're able to force wins by eventually playing enough hoping for photochad
but scaling jokers are the meta for winning consistently
along side playing pairs
Straights scale pretty nicely, pairs are quite easy to draw, don't be scared to try new things, etc. :3
one thing led to another in this groker run
insane scaling
sold him for verdant leaf
vampire munches on the tarrot card buffs right
i ate him
triboulet + chad outscales my 50 mult green joker anyway
it is boring
It's vanilla
(I like it, but always try different things after playing with PhotoChad a lot)
its too good
photochad is just x8 your base mult
there's barely any joker that can scale to that amount that's common
its 100% the best/easiest joker synergy
well I cant say 100% because so and so situations
and then balatro semantic argument
Dw the point was clear
-# /positive
ty
it's very easy to fall into a trap of only relying on photochad though
and then complaining about the plant because you don't know how to play other types of runs
Saw my friend do that, yeah. Often. 
you should really introduce him to roffle runs that aren't photochad
like a tasteful constellation or hologram run
plant doesnt counter photochad
thats the thing
I have! He's been cured now, no worries 
Again, they killed Jesus for speaking the truth
new players don't have the sense to prepare for that don't you think
they dont
and i had 3 spades in my hand
and ofc the flush was low af
yeah i think im just like
yes this is correct objectively
(I agree. Have used it with Glass cards and Glass Joker. Killed so many cards...
)
RIGHT
people dont think about glass joker enough by itself
Never hate on my underrated boy
people don't like breaking their glass
its an S tier joker
is the problem
Love those kinda runs tbh
they think glass breaking is always a bad thing
uncommon, uncommon, specific tarot. it's good, but...
you don't need oa6 to make glass joker good
rip
it just compliments it
couldnt find negative skip
what does glass joker do again i wanna do some stuff with it
0.75x mult for each glass card broken
Oh boy, you're gonna like it
-# /expression /lh
it stops glass cards from breaking
canio does that
it's basically canio but it works for all cards
gains xmult for every glass destroyed (hanged man counts aswell)
as long as they're glass
i neeeeed itttttt
its baby canio
and somehow it also works if your cards are debuffed
thtas funny
you can break a debuffed glass card and it'll increment glass joker
cant say that about canio
people just forget about glass joker because they don't use justice
they just think having a chance to break a card is a bad thing
So glad to have found people that agree 
i like using glass to thin my deck
yeah that
it works
glass joker
you pick up an early glass, it could be your xmult for the run
more like ass joker
sometimes you're just desperate for anything and it shows up
is steel joker decent
steel's okay
it's a humble xmult option
not as fast incrementing as something say, lucky cat
but it's always ready
el gatito
i wanna have a lucky cat run
point of steel is that it always reads your deck
so if you already have a lot of steel, steel joker is already powered up
it's just something of a safety net xmult
for stm runs i love seeing steel joker
I hate Bloostone
oa6's makes it goated but thats using up 2 slots for the effects of 1 joker still
i mean
you don't need oa6
it just makes it less rng reliant
if i had to pick a better option, i'd do trading card
if you have space jioker and other chance cards id say its great
trading card with glass joker is very much easier
you don't need to play around with the chances too much
ive assembled the four jokerman of the dusk
oh no...guess it's time to sell hex...
curse of chicot
yorick.
that's not bad
i don't have the discard vouchers sadly
oh i just got you from soul lol

Rainbow crew
"Skill issue" get it guys instead of helping im going to say skill issue im so funny right guys 🤣 🤣 🤣
skill issue
why are you losing?
because he has skill issue
You did not ask for help here, also if you want help you should be more specific
I didn't ask you
We cannot tell you what to do in something this generalised, at that point we'd be playing the game for you
If you want general information you gotta look at how good gold stake players play, a good starting point is balatro academy
@spark kernel you didn't answer my question
When i get good jokers my hands are bad but when i get bad jokers my hands are still bad why does this happen
What hands are you playing?
What are good jokers
well so much for that run. yorick x22, copied by a brainstorm with DL and cav.
And bad jokers
maybe the jokers you think are good aren’t actually good?
Lucky cat seems like a good boy
thanks
Space joker is bad boy, he's greedy and keeps the levels to himself
Next time I’ll use the reply button properly
ok, so you’re playing black deck gold stake, yes?
Pair or flush
What are the bad jokers you’re getting
Black stake ghost deck

Jokers that dont work with each other
