[tranquil steppe]

But wait there’s more

[acoustic kettle]

Does anyone even fall for that

[stark karma]

please sire could I have some game speed

[stark karma]

was gonna say not bad for non endless but well....

[pale wolf]

That's how I normally play

[tranquil steppe]

I reject your reality and substitute my own

[pale wolf]

just imagine I used it on an economy tag instead and got even more money

but literally anybody could do that

[acoustic kettle]

I sentence you to a 1x game speed baron mime run

[heady narwhal]

this is easy. you just die in the ante 2 small blind anyways

only takes about 3 minutes i bet

[stark karma]

try this skip lol

[pale wolf]

if thunk didn't want you to save scum then why would .5 animation speed be in the game

[hasty harness]

halfway to 10

[heady narwhal]

hiker carry

[stark karma]

got like 80 chips at most hahaha

[stark karma]

actually no my +2600 negative bootstraps carried me later

[hasty harness]

holy mega pack in shop 1

💀

poly constellation and holo faceless

[cosmic maple]

What am I running and why is it working 😭

[tranquil steppe]

You’ve already won

[hasty harness]

it got even better

lol

[tranquil steppe]

Voucher already wow

Overstock

[cosmic maple]

What do I drop for peradoila here?

[slate lance]

Hell yeah

[prime valve]

Chad?

Not chad because of AJ maybe fortune teller?

[lyric shore]

its ante 11 and you dont have face cards?

[cosmic maple]

Fortune teller has over a hundred.

[prime valve]

And how much chad can get you mult?

[cosmic maple]

Idk

It's mainly for the money ig

[cosmic maple]

So not a lot

Also idk why I have aj

[proper bronze]

buy madness

[prime valve]

Its negative so no wonder.

[cosmic maple]

No

[prime valve]

Thats madness

[proper bronze]

but the family

buy

[indigo laurel]

correct order would yall say?

[cosmic maple]

Ya prob

[pale wolf]

honestly I can't believe there's no challenge deck with a starting eternal madness

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[pale wolf]

and maybe like reduced price Jokers

[proper bronze]

yes but sell photo

[serene forge]

looks good to me

[indigo laurel]

saem cus why i dont have it unlcoked with this deck

[indigo laurel]

for? bloodstone for some reason is still locked to me

[serene forge]

you need 30

i think

30 hearts

[pale wolf]

aka one checkered run

[indigo laurel]

i did unlock it this run

will it appear in the shop?

[serene forge]

i'm not sure

[pale wolf]

if you leave the shop and it says it got unlocked then I believe when you go back into the run it can appear

I'm not sure if it can happen in the same session

[indigo laurel]

gotta found out

[serene forge]

that's interesting

[pale wolf]

do not quote me on this because I'm purely going on instinct

[serene forge]

a seed's contents changing based on your unlocks within one run

[pale wolf]

I know for sure that it can change, I just don't know if it doesn't change within the same session

[proper bronze]

if you unlock it

[indigo laurel]

lvl57 can i delete blue seals now

[indigo laurel]

is chad better than photo in this case?

[blissful cedar]

Raised fist supremacy

[gaunt scaffold]

Would u ankh here?

For a double trin

Trib or nah?

Random seed btw

My gut telling me not to

[indigo laurel]

im not an expert im bad at the game so if i were u id not

[proper bronze]

i'd ankh for double dna

[indigo laurel]

55 deck

[lyric shore]

trib isnt the wincon here its dna hologram

[calm epoch]

ankh for the dna 🔥

[gaunt scaffold]

Really?

[indigo laurel]

chad for photo ?

[lyric shore]

no bro dont ankh

[plush sierra]

I AM FINALLY DONE

[indigo laurel]

can never be me

also whats with the code langauges everyone got in their names

[plush sierra]

that's the achievement name

[indigo laurel]

oh

[hollow glade]

[gaunt scaffold]

Nvm seed died

[pale wolf]

I think it's so funny when doc makes a prediction on what the hand's score will be, and then it's like way off, and he just sits there for a moment stewing in the hit to his ego

[gaunt scaffold]

Couldn’t score enough lol

[calm epoch]

LMAO

[pale wolf]

Like I just watched him play a straight with runner and a newly obtained fist and he was like I think this hand wins
and then it overscored by like 3x the blind

The tension was palpable

[calm epoch]

🔥

doc being doc

[hasty harness]

obelisk run

rah

[pale wolf]

🤏

[hasty harness]

hm

[indigo laurel]

i could never use obelisk

[pale wolf]

I'm just imagining you holding a tablet with both hands playing this with your thumbs

mouth completely open

[cosmic sun]

balatro players discovering optimal obelisk

[indigo laurel]

😭

[cosmic sun]

yea it all makes sense now

[pale wolf]

interesting

what if bloodstone was a flat 1.25x with a 1 in 2 chance to be 1.75x instead

[indigo laurel]

what should i do now. make my heart kings glass?

[hasty harness]

i think thats just too consistent tbh

i think its better then ancient

[pale wolf]

too

[pale wolf]

That is not true

[hasty harness]

if that were the case

[pale wolf]

well I mean you might think that

oh oh you mean after the change

[hasty harness]

yea

rn no lol

[pale wolf]

maybe maybe yeah, probably

[hasty harness]

just make all ur cards hearts instead of balancing / doing wilds

and its really only dead if u run into the heart boss

[pale wolf]

I mean you are locked into a suit which is a detriment

[hasty harness]

true

[pale wolf]

I don't know maybe it could still be 1.5 for the 1 in 2

[wintry igloo]

symmetric enough?

[calm epoch]

i was playing a two-pair run and at round 11's shop i found eternal pants

[pale wolf]

It's not like uncommons being better than rares is unheard of, although maybe AJ and Bloodstone are too close in flavor

[calm epoch]

im blessed

[hasty harness]

hm

[pale wolf]

The build of all time

[proper bronze]

yes if you sell bloodstone

[jagged valve]

Skipped an eternal midas mask for rocket then next round immediately got a foil midas mask

[calm epoch]

why hating on bloodstone

[hasty harness]

infintie x mult

[pale wolf]

it is bad for consistently winning

[calm epoch]

tbh i never lost a run with bloodstone so far-

[potent tree]

it's not worth ankhing a stuntman correct?

[wintry igloo]

I'm trash at deck fixing tho
beat ante 8 just now and still have 52 cards 🥀

[hasty harness]

depends on context

[pale wolf]

I don't think I would most contexts

but maybe if you can not benefit from hand size at all

[pale wolf]

uhmmmmm

[cloud sinew]

or higher handsize is detrimental to you

[hasty harness]

what is this build lolllll

[cloud sinew]

and you dont die to psychic somehow

[tranquil cargo]

ankhing a polychrome stuntman is definitely good

it's not eternal, so you don't die to psychic

[pale wolf]

It's instant death if you see the psychic

because you'll lose 250 chips

honestly no I don't do that early double stunt man

Not just cuz I think it's sub-optimal but because I think it's less fun

[pale wolf]

a4

gold

busted

[potent tree]

i haven't found any good jokers to hex and ankh...it's not sustainable

[cosmic maple]

Correct brainstorm copying pls?

[pale wolf]

I mean yes I would hex ankh it for survival with no other options given

[wintry igloo]

would cavendish go with this instead of bloodstone?

[pale wolf]

I don't think so

unless it lets you hold more kings in hand

[wintry igloo]

not really playing any cards actually so I was thinking selling it

[robust lance]

the reason its giving 8 dollars is because I'm actually in witness protection

[pale wolf]

yeah I was assuming heart flushes which is not great with Baron

[potent tree]

do i take burnt here or gamble for midas in the buffoon pack (yes i died the last run)

[tranquil cargo]

I'd go buffoon pack here, but it has nothing to do with midas in particular

you still have no +mult

[indigo laurel]

there is nothing i can do more right? already turned half to glass and got every joker i need ( i think ) and no showman for more blueprint and brainstorm ig im dead? maybe i regret selling the showman 💔

[abstract rivet]

i guess your cap is basically around e20ish then

[abstract rivet]

since thats what the idol+retriggers setup is

yeah

or e40ish on plasma

[cosmic sun]

😴

[indigo laurel]

im going to start making steel ig to backup the glass

[abstract rivet]

it is theoretically possible to naninf with idol+retriggers setup

but you NEED to do the crimson bean to get the necessary handspace for all the ecotoplasms

[amber vigil]

HELL YEA

im finally done

GG

that was a marathon holy shit

[tranquil cargo]

or play on black stake and get a ton of ectoplasms and ankhs

[indigo laurel]

yeah im not that smart thanks

or lucky

[pale wolf]

nice

how long

[latent egret]

the only way you get an extra ante or 2 is if you find dusk

[indigo laurel]

guess who forgot to change the joker order 😍😍😍

[pale wolf]

i savescum that errytime

bc i am scum

[proper bronze]

you can sell bloodstone

[tranquil cargo]

you cannot save scum playing a hand

[pale wolf]

uh

says who

lol

[winged void]

Should I cop

[tranquil cargo]

the game

it saves after every hand

[pale wolf]

it only saves once you draw all the cards in your next hand

[proper bronze]

temu

[indigo laurel]

and whys that

[pale wolf]

or rather, once the last card (of the next hand) is drawn from the deck, it doesn't need to travel to your hand yet

[wintry igloo]

died because of this 🥀

[proper bronze]

nothing will change

[heady narwhal]

it's not eternal

[indigo laurel]

why not keep it tho

like sell it for what

[heady narwhal]

$3

[indigo laurel]

still makes a different in scoring tho no?

[proper bronze]

not a big difference

[heady narwhal]

1/32768 chance it doesn't

[pale wolf]

witness pure magic

[heady narwhal]

definitely burnt

[potent tree]

i should have done that and i failed

[heady narwhal]

i'd have taken the crafty joker over the pack

[fervent wolf]

And now, a moment of silence for the Dagger, which will be sold to win the run

[pale wolf]

they tried to school the queen of scum

smh smh

[heady narwhal]

incredible localization

[pale wolf]

thats uhh nederlands right

[heady narwhal]

think so

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[heady narwhal]

me too!!!!

[pale wolf]

[serene forge]

NO

[pale wolf]

unrequited love
this is a classic tale

[serene forge]

NO

[potent tree]

why do y'all continue to bully fork

[indigo laurel]

too late mr serpent i cant reach u

[proper bronze]

skip

[heady narwhal]

so true

[indigo laurel]

check first skip

[proper bronze]

oh damn

[indigo laurel]

[heady narwhal]

i wonder if they're going to improve any of the official translations

i've heard they're not very good

[pale wolf]

I mean I don't wonder, I assume they're going to

it would be sort of an embarrassment to have a big update and not fix them

[potent tree]

rip econ?

[pale wolf]

ew just don't take it

[heady narwhal]

weren't they like going to do community translations then decided it was unethical or something

[pale wolf]

did they think it was like having people work for free

[red thistle]

Yucky.

[heady narwhal]

think so

[pale wolf]

I mean that seems like an incredibly easy fix

just hire em

[indigo laurel]

alr ggs! but i swear my highest was like e29

[heady narwhal]

seems like that would take away a lot of the logistical advantages of community translations

[pale wolf]

You should really only need like two or three speakers of a language that already play the game to be able to translate it so just pick 3 of the ones that were helping

[heady narwhal]

you couldn't just hire like 1000 people to each write one line of localization

[pale wolf]

per language

Instead of using it as the employment process they can just use the community translations as an application process

perhaps they even did, and its just on some other private Discord with the same people

[gaunt temple]

mines E81

[safe moat]

Holy shit

[safe moat]

Mine is naneinf

[proper bronze]

hi yorick

[indigo laurel]

ur the goat

[mint jetty]

This isn't bad right? When i discard a pair i lose 1 mult but get 1 mult and 15 chips back

[red thistle]

Why're y'all measuring your highest scores.

[indigo laurel]

what that mean

[red thistle]

It's very pointless.

[mint jetty]

What do you mean

[proper bronze]

oh ok let's measure our decks then

[safe moat]

I guess but it’s also fun to do shenanigans

Like more than 50 jokers using cola

[red thistle]

Person1: my hand did whateverE29
Person2: well mine did whateverE81
Person3: well mine did naneinf

[red thistle]

My wee is 1,100 chips long.

[latent egret]

honestly one could be enough if they understand deeply the game and the language

[heady narwhal]

i mean the english localization was mostly written by one person i guess

[latent egret]

the issue with most translations is consistency, like calling straight « suites » then « quinte » in french

[cedar shell]

what if there was a card edition that put a card at the top of the deck but could not be discarded/could not be played/ both and what would be the upside of having it

[fiery nymph]

i was playing photochad and it mightve been the only good time chicot was used

🥀

[barren wigeon]

chicot hate is not acceptable in the balatro discord served

[fervent wolf]

First time that I EVER saw Stone Joker on a Gold Stake run and probably one of the only times I saw it period

[barren wigeon]

especially since chicot is better than trib

[fiery nymph]

agree to disagree

[barren wigeon]

no

i dont agree to disagree

i will NEVER agree with a chigoat hater

[distant vault]

Chicot fucking sucks

[barren wigeon]

bad take

get stoned

[distant vault]

[fervent wolf]

I like Chicot but Trib IS better

[barren wigeon]

think about it

[barren wigeon]

who's more consistent

[distant vault]

Who's more fun

[barren wigeon]

canio

[distant vault]

True

[fervent wolf]

Neither, both rarely appear since 99% of my soul cards are Canio

[fiery nymph]

perkeo 🤤

[white zodiac]

careful, we share mutual servers

[distant vault]

Canio is an awesome concept

So is perkeo

[barren wigeon]

99% of my soul cards are perkeo and chicot

im fine with one of those two

[fiery nymph]

most interesting legendaries imo

[distant vault]

Perkeo so unique I love perkeo

[distant vault]

Yup

[barren wigeon]

not that big of a perkeo fan

[tawdry burrow]

plant about to get you

[fervent wolf]

Soooo?

[barren wigeon]

especially since im broke 99% of the time

[distant vault]

Canio is super cool

[tawdry burrow]

Chicot did save me from one time which was cool

[fiery nymph]

yeah thats what the chicot was for...

[distant vault]

You could have sold him

[barren wigeon]

think about it, what loses you the most runs

[fervent wolf]

Crazy start lol

[fiery nymph]

chicot my free 10$!

[distant vault]

Myself

[tawdry burrow]

what in the

[barren wigeon]

vessel

[hoary ravine]

what the sigma

[barren wigeon]

or wall

[tawdry burrow]

DEFINITELY LEAF

[barren wigeon]

or the worst thing to ever be added to balatro

the hook

[fervent wolf]

Big blind, been countin

[barren wigeon]

chicot solos all of that

[tawdry burrow]

discards 2 per hand played?

[robust lance]

Mr krabs warned us about this

[barren wigeon]

im crine he losing to big blinds

[barren wigeon]

yes

[fervent wolf]

I'm joking, it's usually the wall

[fiery nymph]

if you dont get a hand with your discards ur pretty much fucked

[barren wigeon]

that is the 2nd worst boss blind

only topped by vv

because its vv

[tawdry burrow]

I play a lot of checkered so that doesn't affect me as much
CHALLENGE DECKS ON THE OTHER HAND

[robust lance]

In which way

[barren wigeon]

checkered...

[fiery nymph]

verdant leaf aint even that bad for me

[barren wigeon]

in a "I hate this boss because it makes me lose a bunch" type of way

[fiery nymph]

i usually have an econ joker

[fervent wolf]

Crimson after disabling Acrobat, Dusk, or Mr. Bones on the last hand:

[tawdry burrow]

verdant leaf made me lose a fuck ton

[barren wigeon]

wait till bro discovers eternals

[tawdry burrow]

I also get needled every goddamn time

[barren wigeon]

luckily i use none of these jokers

phew

except for the occasional bones

[tawdry burrow]

when the needle appears and you're not prepared it's just GG

[white zodiac]

(of stickers)

[barren wigeon]

love bones

[tawdry burrow]

bones is a good man

[fiery nymph]

i never take eternal econ tho

[tawdry burrow]

he's very loyal and honest

[fiery nymph]

unless its like rebate

[barren wigeon]

oh...

why

[tawdry burrow]

eternal egg you say

[jagged valve]

Mythical beginnings 😭😭

[tawdry burrow]

what in the goddamn

[fervent wolf]

He just wants to save lives by sacrificing his own, knowing that he will die....what an honorable guy, he deserves a medal and a slot in the hall of fame

[white zodiac]

i do

[fiery nymph]

i feel more freedom with scoring honestly

[north spindle]

"here,win" if it actually won instantly

[tawdry burrow]

crimson heart feels tense but I do go through

[fiery nymph]

i love aj

[tawdry burrow]

violet vessel

[north spindle]

abandoned + 2 copies of ancient is probably gg by itself since u can get thru the whole deck each round right

[tawdry burrow]

I either two shot it or lose to it pretty much

[fiery nymph]

amber acorn my free win

[red thistle]

What a BAD player, taking TERRIBLE jokers like GOLDEN JOKER with the ETERNAL TAG.

[white zodiac]

guess this counts too

[tawdry burrow]

what does acorn do again

[robust lance]

Crimson heart targeting your scoring jokers instead of the economy jokers you have

[white zodiac]

sry ill do better

[fiery nymph]

peak

[white zodiac]

nothing most of the time

[robust lance]

Nothing basically (flips and shuffles all jokers)

[fiery nymph]

flips ur joker

[tawdry burrow]

ah

[pale wolf]

with a bunch of input from a discord

[hoary ravine]

this build rocks

[white zodiac]

i could work on vietnamese localization

[tawdry burrow]

I won't work on a PT-PT localisation solo

[jagged valve]

RIP already

AJ on diamond

[tawdry burrow]

F

[humble gulch]

Oh no

[white zodiac]

someone didn't skip

[north spindle]

my favorite is when you have 5 hands and 2 econ jokers and it never targets either of them

[tawdry burrow]

photo chad

I got it once and that was that I think

otherwise I just aim for like flush or pair²

[north spindle]

you bp here right?

[tawdry burrow]

I'd blueprint

tribe might not be as worth

considering what BP could proc

fuck that's the order

[north spindle]

isnt that order

[tawdry burrow]

order on checkered I wouldn't pick up

[north spindle]

if order a) wasn't rental b) you played on a deck w worse early game i would take it

[tranquil steppe]

Bp ez-pz

[tawdry burrow]

even with the mythical royal flush build

[humble gulch]

Those are five dollars right there 🔥

[north spindle]

i mean i would absolutely take order on checkered in a lot of situations
just not here

[tawdry burrow]

hanging chad + lustly/wrathful does wonders in checkered last I checked

[potent tree]

YO riffraff just generated cav

we eating good tonight bois

[torn drift]

if i get c++ will i get a lot of girls?

[potent tree]

and i threw the run immediately.

[red thistle]

The opposite.

[torn drift]

bruh

[robust lance]

Men understand C++ (the balatro kind) more don’t worry

[supple veldt]

tf is going on here

[lunar zealot]

only if you're a lesbian

[robust lance]

Blue joker carry

[torn drift]

hu????

[potent tree]

why do i KEEP seeing grimbo and bus in the same run

[pale wolf]

whats rhat

[potent tree]

portuguese i think

[robust lance]

Both basically do the same

[red thistle]

Common jokers.

[pale wolf]

why double it

[humble gulch]

Oh no again...

[tranquil steppe]

Man constellation perkeo by ante 2 is nuts

[supple veldt]

it got weirder

[slate lance]

Chat

If u got an uncommon + mult

And baseball

What triggers firs5

First

[potent tree]

if baseball is later, then the +mult

[supple veldt]

i think the card effect triggers first and then baseball

[slate lance]

Ok good

[latent egret]

baseball placement does not matter

[slate lance]

Now whats better cavendish or 3 1.5's from the baseball

🤔

[supple veldt]

3 1.5s is equal to 3.375 or smth

[slate lance]

Yeah

God damn it i gotta sell one of my non gold stickered cards

[supple veldt]

oh wait that was exactly right

go math

[alpine horizon]

gotta love constellation x astronomer

[supple veldt]

wait but how is cavendish replacing 3 whole 1.5s

oh baseball is replacing dish nvm

[latent egret]

smh flush gaming in the big 25

[robust lance]

The best yoai frfr

[latent egret]

rough gem might be the only valid reason to play flushes in gs ill give you that

[alpine horizon]

they could never make me hate you flush

[latent egret]

i have no words

[robust lance]

Was boutta be on your side but why the FRANK is earth he second most used 💔

[latent egret]

this makes me sicker than seeing chinese worker training videos

[latent egret]

earth second is a war crime

[grand bloom]

I just sacrificed my whole loadout to get 3 sixth senses and only one works at a time :(

[robust lance]

Emperor GOTTA be more

[alpine horizon]

i love full houses and flushes ❤️

[latent egret]

man is still in the honeymoon phase of balatro

kinda jealous tbf

[alpine horizon]

dont fix a running ship or whatever its called

[robust lance]

I’m on the abusive relationship phase 💔 💔 💔

[alpine horizon]

finished orange stake on all decks now just need gold

[latent egret]

you will be struck by 1000 unhappiness

be ready to put the pairs in the bag

[slate lance]

I got negative skip tag on ante 8 but it was on the big blind not the small blind

🥲

[robust lance]

I’d rather jump into an oncoming train 🔥 🔥 🔥

[slate lance]

If it was just one previous i couldve gotten 4 potential gold stickers

[robust lance]

Three of a kinds though I’m down

Hell high cards even

Just not pairs

[river quest]

Triple blood stone ante 2 and no oops

[latent egret]

only on painted/abandonned

[river quest]

does erosion work on abandoned

[robust lance]

Yes

It just starts from 40

[floral mural]

ancient joker too. today i had a run i lowkey hoped would die from how badly it shouldve lost. arrowhead flush spam on plasma gold stake. and i managed to WIN

[robust lance]

So it’s weaker on abandoned technically

[latent egret]

arrowhead needs retriggers and you might still die to vv

[floral mural]

i am aware but i had these vouchers

i already did the run its a thing i already won

[robust lance]

This is obviously a paintbrush carry

[floral mural]

deck was also "fixed"

[latent egret]

one of the greatest strenghts of abandonned is just being able to open all the standards and have very high expected value

[robust lance]

That’s deadass more than I’d ever do

[floral mural]

really a golden ticket carry tbh

that money is cracked

[latent egret]

barely won tho lol

nice run

[floral mural]

its a run of all time

never said it was one which wasnt built to die

[unborn cliff]

what a fun boss!

i love losing on WHITE STAKE

[floral mural]

its more proof econ is everything considering i rolled down nearly every round and still hit interest cap with chad golden ticket

[inner plover]

"Fair and balanced" ahh🥀

[amber forge]

I've got 1 round left on invisible joker, but sock is very important to survive, what should I do?

[floral mural]

i love 0.25x mult for planet strats

[unborn cliff]

the flint is just such a fun boss that never kills runs because it is never bad

[unborn cliff]

[humble gulch]

No Steel Joker ):

[jagged valve]

Half of the way there for C+!

[distant vault]

Share that immolate

[latent egret]

kill golden joker

[floral mural]

think golden can go if you take buskin

this run would get demolished on plant but uhh

[jagged valve]

Hi bov

[distant vault]

Let's go 🔥 🔥

[unborn cliff]

how many wins

[amber forge]

You cursed me, immediately got it the next ante lol

[supple veldt]

bloker is so fantastically mediocre

[floral mural]

well putting everything into faces to the point where any counterplay to plant doesnt exist is a risky move after all

[potent tree]

guys does needle trigger before or after burglar? i forget

[robust lance]

Simultaneously

(Before)

[distant vault]

Ziggy

[supple veldt]

you get your +3 burglar hands with needle

[wintry igloo]

oh god bro why

[floral mural]

burglar is an active effect so after needle takes your stuff

[latent egret]

its trib, sell chad

[wintry igloo]

should we gamble

[latent egret]

ofc, the run is dying soon anyways

[wintry igloo]

it was perkeo 🥀

[latent egret]

go dupe deaths and make some glass then lol

[civic stone]

So i decided to calculate how long i should reroll to get NN mime/baron/BP/BS on the first jimbo pack

Assuming 20 seconds per reroll

89 hours

[wintry igloo]

I was going for flush house actually

want to change it into flush five but dont know how

[floral mural]

honestly if youre going for white stake endless attempts don't bother with flush house and go directly for flush five everything is the same op card strat

[wintry igloo]

I was just playing to unlock the last 1 voucher that I didn't unlock yet

and trying to get my deck to 20

[floral mural]

thats something else then

[tranquil steppe]

Not selling invis for the lolz

[supple veldt]

every time ive tried to go deep endless it's just been the same baron mime steel kings nonsense lol

haven't been able to get 4 copiers

[wintry igloo]

yeah I already beat the blue stake so I just said why not going until I unlock some achievements or lose

[tranquil steppe]

Duplicate a random joker after 19 rounds

[potent tree]

once again dusk has chosen to elude me, but this was a pretty solid run

[tough ruin]

I don’t know where to post this, but I don’t have a way to filter seeds due to being on mobile. If someone with immolate is willing to find me a some seeds with a perkeo, blueprint, and brainstorm by the end of ante 2? Thanks in advance!

[white zodiac]

search specific filters in #1156061354076155944

[wintry igloo]

does "Tiny Hands" achievement unlock anything?

[robust lance]

Nope

[wintry igloo]

ah so it's just like a trophy

oops sorry

didn't know stickers were bad

[tough ruin]

All stickers are bad, with the rare exception of rental stickers, as expensive jokers become $1 to purchase, even if you have to pay every round, which is better for cases like an ante 1 brainstorm in shop.

Unless you are talking about seals, in which case they are all good but niche usually

[white zodiac]

which you still don't take off rip

[white zodiac]

blue and purple are not niche

[wintry igloo]

not those stickers I meant

the stickers in discord, which are not allowed to send

[potent tree]

take burnt?

[white zodiac]

I don't bid 👅

[robust lance]

Nah go all in on stencil

Trollface

[pale wolf]

depends

are you planning on playing any hands

[potent tree]

well i have pairs to level up again

but i was tryna hunt for ankh to use on stencil

[white zodiac]

wwy sticker first

ignore the money printer

[outer fog]

would anyone be interested in hopping in a call with me to help me get better at balatro?

[pale wolf]

do you need grimbo

[white zodiac]

it's at 100 rn

[green bronze]

[pale wolf]

okay

[white zodiac]

aka the majority of the player audience

[pale wolf]

I would probably keep ramen for the sticker

[white zodiac]

ight

[pale wolf]

trio is rare but more helpful and not consumable

[white zodiac]

forgot to mention yeah this is a 3oak build

been overscoring every round

cool

[pale wolf]

then again when do u use up ramen

[white zodiac]

fresh hot ramen

[tranquil oyster]

idk, ramen is one of the jokers you keep using on gold stake, no? free xmult built for pair / high card. if you're going for c++, you'll see it anyway sooner or later.

[tough ruin]

Zeba is right in this case, unless your ramen is at 1.1x it’s worth keeping it for the sticker, especially considering the scoring from trio

[white zodiac]

ramen u don't normally keep in your final build

[pale wolf]

I think trio is an okay choice but it's perishable so you might have to skip or just overscore more

[white zodiac]

I don't score enough for vv currently

2-3 3oak at most

oh well

I'll pass

[tough ruin]

Do you have director’s cut voucher?

[white zodiac]

no

[tough ruin]

Okay then. You def need scoring eventually.

[pale wolf]

most of the time I use up a bit of ramen before getting rid of it because purple seals are good

[white zodiac]

um

did you look at my build

[pale wolf]

no I know

[white zodiac]

o

[tough ruin]

Oh wait, you habe burglar

[pale wolf]

just as like a general thing

[white zodiac]

yeah that was the initial question

[tiny hound]

Advice?

[white zodiac]

part of me didn't wanna live another baron incident

[pale wolf]

noice

[lunar zealot]

i'd rather eat egg now than later

otherwise you die

don't greed

[pale wolf]

uhh if you need the scoring this round then you use it

[tough ruin]

Get trio prob, as you can copy it with brainstorm after getting your 6 extra hands, to get 3oak face cards

No green needed

[white zodiac]

if u have to ask for advice then id go for the safer route

[tough ruin]

Whoever posted that cat, clearly knows something I don’t, speak up.

[outer fog]

could anyone help me get better at balatro?

[white zodiac]

ik a guy

[tough ruin]

I’m not able to coach perse, besides, I still am mentoring my brother who wanted to try on my Apple account XD

[outer fog]

lol, thats fine

[white zodiac]

u could watch doc spectred balatro 101 playlist for an early game tutorial guide on how to pilot through barren resources given

[atomic trout]

I don't know what I was thinking 🤣

[outer fog]

oh ok thanks, I've been having trouble which jokers to pick up and how to make a build so I hope this helps!

[tough ruin]

There is some good info out there by someone that goes by Dr-DreamO on YouTube also. Watching some of the seeded pieces may give you some knowledge of what you’re doing for money generation, but again, it all depends on what is thrown at you.

[deep rapids]

absolute cinema

[outer fog]

ok thx!

[atomic trout]

Ante 0 whoooot 🤩

[tough ruin]

Have you seen that ante -1 video?

[deep rapids]

lol first ante 0 death ever? (jk)

[pale wolf]

isn't that stuff pretty outdated

[atomic trout]

There's -1 Ante?? I must lose to it

[white zodiac]

as for getting familiar with regular ante 8 pacing, doc has made recent vids on gs walkthroughs on how he pilots through the decision making throughout the game. you can just watch it on your second monitor or picture to picture whenever you see fit

[tough ruin]

Kind of.

[deep rapids]

oh do you get a voucher skip and go back 2?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[white zodiac]

idek who that guy is

[deep rapids]

REAL

[pale wolf]

Like the Jokers do different things outdated

[tough ruin]

Well, it’s a specific voucher skip on small blind, but I’ll find the video now

[pale wolf]

thats criminal

[atomic trout]

👑

[serene forge]

NO

[white zodiac]

yellow deck, voucher skip, 0.5 game speed, buy heiro before petro spawns from voucher tag

[tough ruin]

It’s a mobile link copied directly from safari (was questioned about this kind of link before so I have to make it clear.) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-_ubavyNTbU

[pale wolf]

me if I actually loved Bloodstone and made a typo

[serene forge]

NO

[nova junco]

[serene forge]

ME TOOOOOOOO

[hybrid tendon]

hehehehe yayy

[serene forge]

i feel bad for you atp

i had diet cola and shortcut as my last stickers and i found both of them in the same shop in ante 8

[potent tree]

i've had good dusk runs before

[tough ruin]

But did you win?

[potent tree]

problem is i keep dying by like ante 6 lmao

[serene forge]

obviously

[pale wolf]

[tough ruin]

Tip: dusk + idol for the memez

[hybrid tendon]

idol is basically useless before ante 8

[tough ruin]

Exactly

[woeful tangle]

Why isn't there a version of Balatro that allows you to use mods on mobile devices?

[vale shale]

Blueprint oh my god

[pale wolf]

it isn't stated anywhere, but I believe it's because of platform terms of service

[serene forge]

"i wish i could have a joker like red card but 3 times less cost effective most of the time"
the humble fortune teller:

[serene forge]

because that's against tos

[pale wolf]

🦓

[hybrid tendon]

you made it look even more sus

[dire crater]

Ehat the hell

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[dire crater]

This joker is bad without pareidolia anyways

eeeeeeee

Ok

[hybrid tendon]

Excuse me? Wym by scissoring? 🤨

[dire crater]

be careful lace

Getting hanging is way better than sock

[hybrid tendon]

hehehe yeahhh

[dire crater]

Hanging chad

[hybrid tendon]

I'll outlive anyone anyway

[dire crater]

ramen,green joker, burglar

[tranquil otter]

dam wtf

[tough ruin]

You already get money from the business card, so get stuntman for better scoring

[tranquil otter]

no lmao

[lyric shore]

thats insane lol

[tranquil otter]

dumbest option possible

[lyric shore]

less money less scoring

[mortal nimbus]

You need to be able to draw face cards, stuntman shoots you in the knee for drawing specific cards

[lyric shore]

and its rental

[tranquil otter]

i decided to take misprint because its late enough i wont score when i dont want to most likely

and temperance obv

[white zodiac]

quicker misprint tech

[serene forge]

where are you even getting your scoring bruh

[tranquil otter]

lucky cards and planets

[serene forge]

that's just bloodstone with extra steps

[lyric shore]

?

[slate lance]

If ppl can do jokerless then im sure only econ (and well some sincethe face card is lucky) should he rlly easy

[white zodiac]

except this isn’t jokerless

[slate lance]

Beauty of ghost deck

These cards are so gay

[slate lance]

Yea but ur mainly using ur dexkfixing and planets

For scoring

So its kind of like.jokerless

[white zodiac]

except nothing like jokerless

score requirements are increased 4 fold

[slate lance]

IT ISSS

Jokerless on gold stake i meant

Duh

[white zodiac]

shops are not as consistent in terms of specific draws

early game is less trivial

not something you say without providing substance behind its native difficulty

[valid ether]

just had this beautiful run I almost won but I think my deck size + levels killed me so I am sad. Probably should have swapped splash for something else but I wanted to try pareidolia+smiley fun

[slate lance]

Jeez ik jokerless isnt on gold stake

I just meant jokerless as in no scoring jokers anyway

Wtv 😔

[white zodiac]

highly unrealistic

k

[robust iris]

Actually what killed you is try to use that baron

[valid ether]

Is it notoriously bad

[robust iris]

It requires a lot of setup

[valid ether]

Because I had quite a few steel king copies so it worked out for a while

Idk I pulled it and ran with it

I love this game I learn so much

and it helps my bad math skills

[shell dagger]

the cav that fell from heaven

had acro before and probably wouldn’t have won

[mint jetty]

How many chips on runner

[magic tree]

RIP

[brazen token]

when sabes english and also español

[magic tree]

ITS ALWAYS THE PLANT

[lyric shore]

you couldnt afford another roll with 385 bucks?

[magic tree]

another roll of what

[lyric shore]

the shop?

[grim thunder]

:D

[magic tree]

it was over anyways, I wasnt scoring enough

[torpid ice]

god fuck

[white zodiac]

more shops can alter that scoring deficit

[magic tree]

yeah but what should I've looked for?

[lyric shore]

something to replace your jokers that scale bad into endless

[grim thunder]

My banana died :(

[mortal nimbus]

Should’ve skipped before the big blind to guarantee this didn’t happen

[magic tree]

WAIT MR BONES SAVED ME

[unreal island]

gg

[white zodiac]

considering you didn't fully have full on card scoring

[unreal island]

hoping u get a good +mult queen

[karmic junco]

chat which one

[grim thunder]

The run is still alive!

[viral rampart]

heyy everyone !! does anyone have any advice for winning in green stakes

[unreal island]

ew fucking neither

[karmic junco]

o

kay?

[lunar zealot]

Play smarter

[magic tree]

green joker

[acoustic kettle]

Actually

[lunar zealot]

and i mean this both as use good jokers and find out what jokers are good and what ones you just think aren't good

[acoustic kettle]

True

[lunar zealot]

Many jokers suck on stakes

Like baron

meanwhile bus is very good

[viral rampart]

wdym sorry im a noobie

[simple stream]

Guys I just had the craziest start to a run I've ever had

[lunar zealot]

Main advice is you need to score 600k consistently on any given build

[surreal spruce]

Grimbo is one of my fav jokers

I love grimbo

[lunar zealot]

otherwise you will die to violet vessel

[indigo laurel]

Balatro

[lunar zealot]

once you get to purple stake you need to score 1.2 million consistently on any given build

[acoustic kettle]

Plasma and do 2.4 mil

[simple stream]

since stencil doesn't count itself they were both giving x5 and I was in ante 1 :'D

[viral rampart]

reallyy ? i never thought it was any good

[acoustic kettle]

It is

Good

[magic tree]

its good with high cards and pairs

for example

just never discard

[acoustic kettle]

You can still discrd to dig for value

[lunar zealot]

We will have to talk about pairs

[surreal spruce]

You can discard with grimbo

[simple stream]

I have 8 kings is there any reason to get this baron?

[lunar zealot]

as stakes get high, hands get harder to play and you have to be more stingy

[magic tree]

or with the joker that gives you +3 hands

[lunar zealot]

straights? Too hard to make

xoak? too hard to make

flush? Doesn't provide enough value

[acoustic kettle]

2oak

[simple stream]

straights are a decent shot in the no face cards deck

[viral rampart]

wdymm i feel like im so dumb when i play this game ;0

[lunar zealot]

generally, blue stake's (current, as of patch 1.0.1f) effect of -1 discard heavily discourages playing 5-card hands due to inconsistency in being able to draw them; flush in particular gets significantly more flak due to it not providing nearly as much scaling via planets or consistent joker scaling like straights and saturn/runner, to compensate for its being a 5 card hand
in this sense the evolution of the meta has largely favored pairs due to their generally being easy to draw, easy to make use of in-hand effects such as golds and especially blue seals, and more accessible synergies with jokers such as hologram (more effectively able to scale hologram via bloating the deck if the hand played is largely unaffected by deck size hampering easiness to draw), blackboard (one can play a pair and unscored hearts/diamonds in order to always proc it) and scaling +mult jokers such as green joker (discarding for pairs is redundant)
tl;dr pair good

[tranquil steppe]

Negative burnt joker is sick

[lunar zealot]

Why do we lose Balatro runs?
Because you don't score enough to beat the blind
this can happen for 3 and only 3 reasons:

1. Your jokers suck ass
2. The boss blind fucks you
3. You don't draw your dogshit hand

[lunar zealot]

pair runs are largely immune to reasons 2 and 3

[magic tree]

what do I do know please

[lunar zealot]

OH FUCK MY NITRO IS ENDING

NOONONONONONONONONONO

WAIT WAIT WAIY

WAIT WIAT WIAT WIAT WATIA

[lyric shore]

hows it that serious

[white zodiac]

oh nyo

[magic tree]

?

I sell to the moon right

[grim thunder]

Yeah

[lyric shore]

oh sure

[magic tree]

okay thx

[rough prairie]

If I get gold sticker on a Joker does it also count for all the ones below it?

[mortal nimbus]

You just need the gold

[rough prairie]

Ah good, for a second I thought C++ might be literally madness

[shell dagger]

360

[white zodiac]

holy yap dont car

[lunar zealot]

I will eat you alive

[odd current]

What do I sell for brainstorm?

[lunar zealot]

sock

assuming red seal steel kings

[serene forge]

this is gold stake

[serene forge]

rare tag was a

[mortal aurora]

fun game

[amber vigil]

bruh

[magic tree]

bruh

[white zodiac]

happy birthday jen

[magic tree]

gg

[sweet raven]

make sure not to play a flush 5. it doesn't count for some reason

[rough prairie]

in Ante 15 you couldn't reroll the boss?

Oh nvm

[serene forge]

misplay

[amber vigil]

ill just pick up ancient joker on white stake and play normaly

[serene forge]

skip blinds if you need to so this doesn't happen

[amber vigil]

till i get it

i just found it fun that this is the one thats left for the last one

[slate lance]

I KNOWWW

GYATT DAMN IT

[white zodiac]

[serene forge]

gyat haagahahah

haha

ha

[slate lance]

I just find it fun to say im not trying to be fun

Funny*

FUCK SAKE let me typeit again

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[slate lance]

I just find it fun to say rather than just god damn
I dont think gyatt is funny 😭

[simple stream]

Imagine I ankh myself a third stencil

[white zodiac]

nothing really stopping u

[simple stream]

that would just be 5x5x5 off stencils..

[rough prairie]

ankh hitting campfire would be kinda bad

[serene forge]

throwback sucks ankh is good here

wait

[signal frigate]

Me when Luchadore

[serene forge]

0 dollars in ante 5 are you fucking kidding me

[simple stream]

these things happen

[white zodiac]

trying to get the a8 debt wr

[signal frigate]

This might be one of the best line ups I've seen

[white zodiac]

no they don't 👅

[serene forge]

did you take a hiero????

you have 3 hands

[signal frigate]

You doing high stakes? Or high score?

[serene forge]

whar

[signal frigate]

Not necessarily

[signal frigate]

I meant is it on any stake that's not white

[serene forge]

it normally wouldn't be bad, it is here though unless they fix their econ immediately

[signal frigate]

Oh yeah, you were talking about him having 0 dollars

[serene forge]

yes

[rough prairie]

Yeah, campfire is kinda a pricy joker to keep

[simple stream]

im doing gold stake

[signal frigate]

I thought you were complaining bout your gameplay lmfao

[serene forge]

nah

[signal frigate]

How'd you get so poor?

[lunar zealot]

0 dollars with campfire is the single most intelligent play i've ever seen

You are truly a visionary

[simple stream]

thanks

well

[signal frigate]

Stencil counts as an empty slot itself right?

[simple stream]

I wish I didn't take it rn but I mighta lost earlier without it tbh

[lunar zealot]

just get your money up

[simple stream]

YES

[lunar zealot]

find a handy tag or something

only real way of stabilization this late

at least they're not rental

[signal frigate]

I just realised that Stencil's the only joker that I never actually used

[white zodiac]

with one homeless exception

[signal frigate]

I just goldchipped it without thinking about it

[simple stream]

honestly I might just alt+4 if its not stencil. or maybe I won't even risk it. getting campfire would possibly ruin my run if im unlucky here

[rough prairie]

You probably used it early, I think it's the only default Xmult joker?

[serene forge]

how'd you use diet cola

[signal frigate]

I just kept it

With BBC

[lunar zealot]

the default xmult joker is cavendish or blackboard really

campfire and obelisk being the scaling ones

and hologram ofc

[signal frigate]

And Constellation

[lunar zealot]

who?

[signal frigate]

Which my friend STILL thinks it's bad

[lunar zealot]

i forgot about constell but yeah

[simple stream]

campfire is bad cuz I keep getting rentals that are eternal

so I can't resell them

[signal frigate]

But I realised how good it is with the joker that makes planets and packs free

[lunar zealot]

make more money

[white zodiac]

they're not the main fuel for the fire

[signal frigate]

I forgot the name

[rough prairie]

Constellation is always good

[signal frigate]

Because I rarely use it

[signal frigate]

I know, it's one of my favorite xmults

I always take it everytime I see it

[rough prairie]

Always is a bit iffy. You shouldn't take it late if you won't have time to scale

[signal frigate]

I keep forgetting that this is what I set my steam background for

And I hate that my stats are lower than they should be, thanks steam.

[slate lance]

How do ik if i suck at balatro

🤔

[signal frigate]

Losing alot

It's okay to suck, you'll learn

[slate lance]

I lose quite a bit but i win quite a bit too

I mean ive managed to do c+

[signal frigate]

Then you're not "bad"

You're average

[slate lance]

And i got like 4 goldstake wins today i think

But i do gotta go through some losses

[signal frigate]

Then you're already better than 90% of Balatro players

[simple stream]

why am I so broke

[signal frigate]

You're probably better than me

[rough prairie]

Isn't a single gold stake win already better than 90% according to the trophy %?

[slate lance]

Not every balatro player is on one platform

[signal frigate]

I struggled at Blue Stake yesterday for some reason

But the moment I got my queen, I just breezed through it

[slate lance]

Dw i do that too

[rough prairie]

Blue Stake is the first hurdle because of -1 discard

[slate lance]

Ive honestly almost never gotten a good stm run yet

[signal frigate]

Well, I should be used to it when I'm 7 Decks in

[slate lance]

I needa do it

[signal frigate]

It got better in Endless which is hilarious

I got Mime very late and Brainstorm appeared

Handy tag gave me them dollars

[white zodiac]

I've gotten a few

[signal frigate]

I just skipped cuz there's no way I'm beating Ante 12

[slate lance]

Ok peak
