[serene forge]

illiteracy competition and you're my opponent:

[young python]

(it’s a fine deck i just hate it)

[summer jay]

You approached yellow deck (a high tier deck) sucking as objective and got mad when explained why it was an L take

[delicate tide]

no i disagree with you fully

[summer jay]

Also you're just bad at arguing

[serene forge]

we know they're 15

[serene forge]

[summer jay]

Abandoned deck is the definition of the word potential

[tender hill]

How is the smiley face card bad

[tender hill]

i said im almost 15

[mystic bramble]

[tender hill]

[summer jay]

A couple times I lost a run by 1 chip on ante 8 boss

[tender hill]

unc we are polar opposites

[serene forge]

my birthday is in 5 months

[heady narwhal]

• maximum of +20 mult which half joker can give more consistently & simply is not enough for lategame scoring esp on purple stake
• doesn't work with pairs and especially doesn't work with ride the bus
• vulnerable to plant + every other debuff boss. but especially plant

[young python]

real lmao

[terse dock]

Smiley has a max of 25

[mystic bramble]

I have peak Balatro reaction images

[tender hill]

no joker is bad if you know how to use it

[heady narwhal]

wrong. full house and 5oak aren't real

[serene forge]

blowman:

[hybrid tendon]

séance :

[delicate tide]

idol

[heady narwhal]

some jokers are more equal than others. to a significant degree

[tacit stream]

econ for strush build. bbc fodder

[lunar zealot]

baron seance throwback idol showman bloodstone

[terse dock]

Yeah ok bud try making a run around idol function in 8 antes

[young python]

some jokers are more equal than others

[mystic bramble]

Why is he telling the truth

[tender hill]

yes some jokers are better than others but all of them are still useful in some way

[delicate tide]

some jokers just have a horrible function or consistency

[serene forge]

its called blowman

[lunar zealot]

enlightened centrists playing balatro: every joker is good

[hybrid tendon]

idk I don't play strushes, game hates me

[summer jay]

Idol might as well be endless only

[heady narwhal]

again this is wrong

[lunar zealot]

enlightened centrist

[serene forge]

LMAO

[tender hill]

its not wrong per se

[tacit stream]

bootleg photochad in abandoned deck

[heady narwhal]

idol and showman and baron

[summer jay]

8ball

[mystic bramble]

Is the Jimbo card peak tho

[tender hill]

im not with the political bullshit

[mystic bramble]

It’s so useful

[cerulean parcel]

Cult of lamb is goated

[heady narwhal]

anyways smiley is in the bottom 20% of jokers no matter how you define "bad"

[terse dock]

Yall wanna bleed out here

[tender hill]

flash card is good though

[young python]

been meaning to check it out

[cerulean parcel]

Yes

[heady narwhal]

what does this have to do with anything

also it's not all that

[tender hill]

im just saying

[cerulean parcel]

There’s been some good sales for it recently

[serene forge]

its a joke

[tender hill]

Its underrated

[mystic bramble]

I use it all the time after I hex it

At the start

[tender hill]

i know im just saying

[summer jay]

Devs gave up on textures halfway through

[lunar zealot]

flash card's only redeeming qualities are

1. being a better straps than straps
2. being uncommon

[young python]

i think it’s on gamepass so i might get on my xbox over my break

[cerulean parcel]

You should it’s actually really good

[alpine basalt]

uhhh does flowerpot not work with wildcards?

[cerulean parcel]

Cool

[mystic bramble]

The business card one is fun

[summer jay]

-$30

[young python]

i love the art for it

[mystic bramble]

Free money!!!

[young python]

yea 💔

[summer jay]

Just buy the game at that point

[tender hill]

what are the best face card skins bro

[mortal nimbus]

flower pot works with wilds, you still need 4 cards

[terse dock]

Subjective

[summer jay]

Amogus

[alpine basalt]

whats the deal with flowerpot, does it not work with wild cards?

[tacit stream]

it works

[mystic bramble]

It’s whatever you like

[hybrid tendon]

if you don't take care of politics, politics will take care of you

[serene forge]

amogus, slay the spire, stardew valley

[terse dock]

Wild cards only cover one rank

[heady narwhal]

i'd say
3. somewhat viable for the "i have $60 but it's ante 4/5 and i have no idea how to scale!!! what do i do!!" niche which happens sometimes ish

[young python]

it’s like $10 and i also need it for online play lmao

[mystic bramble]

Balala

[hybrid tendon]

happened to me once

[lunar zealot]

flash card scales very well in short periods of time

especially the whole converts econ to scoring thing

[distant vault]

Flash card is my goat

[tender hill]

i think slay the princess tboi vault tec and rust are good

[terse dock]

You know what else does

[lunar zealot]

but like idk it's far too intensive

red card and pants far outclass it

[terse dock]

Red Card

[mystic bramble]

Tarrot?

Oh and red card

[young python]

i love tarot joker

[terse dock]

hell ho

[heady narwhal]

no!!!!

[mystic bramble]

I’m so bad lol

[tender hill]

whats tarrot?

[lunar zealot]

flash card is uncommon though

[mystic bramble]

Don’t listen to my advice

[terse dock]

what the fuck are you running vagabond every solitary run

[mystic bramble]

The tarrot joker

[lunar zealot]

so it's definitely points towards it

[terse dock]

Fortune Teller

[tender hill]

oh he misspelled it i thought he meant parrot

[mystic bramble]

The funny looking joker when you open a pack then a dice

[young python]

should i go into the game blind or is it more fun if yk some stuff going in

[distant vault]

How's the setup

[terse dock]

Hallucination?

[cerulean parcel]

Blind

[young python]

wow

[terse dock]

Learn your poker hands

[mystic bramble]

Yeah

[tender hill]

damn youre broke

[cerulean parcel]

The tutorial is pretty simple

[terse dock]

I see my bad

[distant vault]

Wow good or wow bad

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[mystic bramble]

Also I have not beat green stake

[distant vault]

Taking tips

[cerulean parcel]

No

[terse dock]

Hallucination is good

[tender hill]

my favorite hand is flush

[heady narwhal]

gift card is pretty good

[summer jay]

Balatro taught me how to properly identify poker hands

[serene forge]

why are you copying constellation

[young python]

i’ve played a handful of rogue likes so i’m excited to check out the gameplay

[tender hill]

Because stonks go brr

[serene forge]

YES

[gilded arch]

working on real life balatro with physical cards in augmented reality! lmk if you want to help beta test!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41EfkyilqPY

[young python]

i’m impressed you won lmao

[serene forge]

we know

[distant vault]

X mult

[serene forge]

how much do you have on flash card

[tender hill]

We all love the banana

[serene forge]

its probably more efficient to put it on flash card

[cerulean parcel]

It’s definitely an interesting roguelike

[young python]

woah

[serene forge]

because bs is bad with xmults usually

[tender hill]

Balatro can lowkey make you better at poker

[tender hill]

im talking abt gros michel

[distant vault]

I forgot how much flash card was at but u prob right

[mystic bramble]

I love the banana card

The first one

[heady narwhal]

no stm 0/10

[mystic bramble]

Not the second

I like the gamble

[distant vault]

Shoot the moon ?

[mystic bramble]

I need like 26 more jokers to find lol

[terse dock]

Nah hes outclassed by his brother

[mystic bramble]

And one is a legendary

[heady narwhal]

no it stands for faceless joker

[tender hill]

The other banana is buns

[atomic trout]

The best hunts are the challenging Joker unlocks. 😄

[distant vault]

Good one

[terse dock]

You claim to be 15 but you have the baiting skills of a 9 year old

[hybrid tendon]

this is yellow deck all over again...

[terse dock]

Grow up

[mystic bramble]

Lowkey I love the combo with the ballot and smiley

[tender hill]

im not even baiting

The other banana is ass

[hybrid tendon]

free 3x mult

[tender hill]

it gives 3 mult

[distant vault]

+3 mult

[young python]

[mystic bramble]

I hate the big boss that has like 320k hp on ante8

[atomic trout]

But it could arrive in shop or not.

[distant vault]

🔥 🔥

[tender hill]

And sure it has a 1 in 1000 chance to not dissapear

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[terse dock]

Are you confusing +mult and times mult

[tender hill]

you get 15 mult with gros michel

[tropic umbra]

vessel

[young python]

this is a real take

[atomic trout]

Antimatter and Cavendish are risk takers, lol

[terse dock]

Times mult multiplies your mult

[tender hill]

wait

[cerulean parcel]

Gros michel is good

[tender hill]

OH IM CONFUSED

[serene forge]

they should add an electric banana that can be gotten after cavendish

[tender hill]

WAIT HOLD ON

[serene forge]

make it part of dlc

[hybrid tendon]

cavendish is xmult not +mult like gros michel

[tender hill]

OHHHHHHH

[heady narwhal]

what are your top 10 most used jokers

[distant vault]

Do you take blank

[tender hill]

nvm

[tender hill]

fuck lemme check

[summer jay]

Bro doesn't know multiplication 🥀

[mystic bramble]

What’s the best deck to try to learn to gold stake

[atomic trout]

Of course, and always lose because my eco is trash, lol

[cerulean parcel]

When I get gros Michel I expect to get cavendish

[tropic umbra]

i hated violet vessel so I pokefied them

[young python]

i think they teach it at 16

[terse dock]

Blue

[distant vault]

Same

[summer jay]

I learned it in 2nd grade

[heady narwhal]

yellow and blue deck are the easiest ones

[summer jay]

[tacit stream]

smh should have made cavendish ^1.3 mult instead so it's clearly better than michel

[atomic trout]

But I had to get 10 to find Anti-Matter, so it matters, hehe

[mystic bramble]

Oh I’ve been trying to do ghost XD

[cerulean parcel]

XChips WHEN??!????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???

[distant vault]

True but I never see it

[terse dock]

They teach exponents at 17 they don't get it

[atomic trout]

I only seen them a few times. Only to lose to Ante 11 lol

[cerulean parcel]

Learned it in 1st grade

[summer jay]

Imagine when cavendish disappears it unlocks the omninana which gives ^3 mult and has a 1 in 1000000000 chance of being destroyed

[heady narwhal]

#🙋・frequently-asked

[terse dock]

Multiplication is commutive

[tender hill]

im just not reading the joker descs

[serene forge]

I love Bell Beast

[serene forge]

smartest bloodstone user:

[terse dock]

I love taco bell

[mystic bramble]

Why is red stake the first one it’s so hard

[cerulean parcel]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[tacit stream]

OK then ^^1.13 mult

[mystic bramble]

No money 😭

[heady narwhal]

i think ante scaling would be a little harsh as well

[terse dock]

yeah thats good they teach tetration at 13

[young python]

how do u feel abt the bell eater fight

[serene forge]

scientists should research the correlation between iq and usage of certain jokers in balatro

[serene forge]

i like it because i get to watch eira fucking beat the shit out of it

[mystic bramble]

Am I gonna win with this deck

🔥

[terse dock]

Misplaced smiley face

[atomic trout]

Depends on your choices in the game

[distant vault]

Platinum stake: -1 hand

[terse dock]

Move to far right

[cerulean parcel]

Arrowhead better

[mystic bramble]

Ok

[heady narwhal]

eternal would probably be the easiest first stake but i think it's good that they save the new mechanics for later in the progression

[serene forge]

don't do this

[tacit stream]

the squished 2 of clubs will carry the game

[cerulean parcel]

Best fight ngl

[mystic bramble]

Honestly I only joined this server for game help

[terse dock]

Little known fact: also dope on the mic

[mystic bramble]

Because I’m ass

[tender hill]

is golden joker a bad joker?

[summer jay]

Man just start a new run

[mystic bramble]

Me like it

[terse dock]

No

[serene forge]

no

[summer jay]

No

[terse dock]

Rebate is just overpowered

[serene forge]

free money is good

[tender hill]

yeah

[cerulean parcel]

Also fuck bell beast

[young python]

woah buddy

[heady narwhal]

golden joker is good imo. most value generation is very nice

[young python]

still time to take that back

[tender hill]

Whats that one card that allows all cards in one hand to score called

[young python]

splash

[heady narwhal]

splash

[distant vault]

I like golden cause I don't have to do anything

[terse dock]

Splash is mid

[summer jay]

Splash

[cerulean parcel]

The stag was always better

[distant vault]

And rocket

[atomic trout]

Splash

[tender hill]

i like using splash sometimes

[hybrid tendon]

I'll make you one @serene forge

[serene forge]

please

please

please

pla

asdpl

[heady narwhal]

splash is cool i think. one of my least disliked jokers

[atomic trout]

Splash is nice when it comes to Lucky Cat and lucky cards up the butt

[mystic bramble]

Nah I got this trust

[cerulean parcel]

Very gay Zote when?

[terse dock]

Get a room

[tender hill]

its one of the best commons

[heady narwhal]

iwouldn't say that

[serene forge]

stop being homophobic 🥀

[tender hill]

not one of the best

[terse dock]

splash is a really neat idea its just underutilized

[mystic bramble]

I posted a Balatro meme in my family group chat and my mom said gay jokers lol

[tender hill]

But its a good common

[cerulean parcel]

Where’s your pfp from?

[young python]

why is he lying 😭😭😭

[serene forge]

already exists

[terse dock]

Mother 3

[tropic umbra]

nearby bonk should say that they're adding xchips then then add some sort of chip type candy that's blue to the merch shop and then call it x chips

[atomic trout]

Splash is bad when Ride the Bus is used, it will RESET

[heady narwhal]

most value generators are better and most scaling jokers are better and i'd say a lot of the early scoring jokers are better

[serene forge]

they think yellow deck is bad its ok

[sleek night]

Beat my first gold stack.... with also the most cracked run i ever got

[heady narwhal]

the main advantage to splash is that it's $3

[tender hill]

DAMN SON

[heady narwhal]

there's often no reason not to take it

[mystic bramble]

FUCK I SHOUKDVE JUST RESTARTED

[mystic bramble]

that stupid ass boss that gives me no discards

[cerulean parcel]

It’s beautiful

[hybrid tendon]

why eternal pareidolia...

[summer jay]

Watuh
Put your discards away watuh

[atomic trout]

What is happening? lol

[serene forge]

go home buddy

[sleek night]

I got a Ace polychrome and i cloned it a lot when i got this joker

[tender hill]

how overpowered can one be in balatro

[sleek night]

This shit was cracked

[tender hill]

not just naneinf

no not just that

Getting so much points

That it crashes the game.

[serene forge]

play cryptid mod

[tender hill]

without mods.

the base game.

[young python]

you can’t then

[terse dock]

Can't

[summer jay]

It's physically impossible without hacking

[mystic bramble]

Didn’t even realize a different between +mult and xmult

[tender hill]

i mean is it REALLY impossible?

[mystic bramble]

I just used the highest number stuff

[small garden]

[serene forge]

erm actually you could get 84 negative copies of triboulet in theory

[terse dock]

Naneinf is a fallback when the game reads a number it cant recognize

[serene forge]

skill issue

never take eternal parei ever

[summer jay]

When you reach naneinf you can't go higher

[tender hill]

yes i understand

[sleek night]

Always remember to take the boss reroll voucher when you can

[tender hill]

But i mean like

Making the game lag

[summer jay]

[tender hill]

To the point

[sleek night]

[tender hill]

Where it crashes

we will require the most ass pc in existence

[hybrid tendon]

unless you have a bad pc you can't

[tender hill]

That can barely run balatro

[terse dock]

There's a memory leak just play for 800 years

[serene forge]

or perhaps don't take a dogshit eternal joker that actively hurts you for very little benefit lol

[sleek night]

It's funny

[summer jay]

Physically impossible to make the game itself crash from overload without hacking cuz you'd never reach the conditions

In vanilla

[tender hill]

If theres a straight and gay hand

What about bisexual

[terse dock]

He was fucked anyway

Photochad with no backup glasd

[summer jay]

Ambidextrous

[tacit stream]

backup glass won't help when they got eternal pareidolia

[summer jay]

[terse dock]

I am aware

[atomic trout]

Heart broken.

[tender hill]

transgender?

[terse dock]

Im saying that even if he didn't take he was fucked anyway

[atomic trout]

Not a fair boss.

[summer jay]

That's not a sexuality

[mystic bramble]

Wait does cavendish gives xmult or +mult?

[tender hill]

asexual

[terse dock]

X

[summer jay]

What hand

[atomic trout]

x3 Mult

[tender hill]

I dont know

[mystic bramble]

Peak

[summer jay]

Exactly

[mystic bramble]

Time to kill my mich

[atomic trout]

And a 1/1000 chance to break. hehe

[serene forge]

perishable chad no less

[tender hill]

one more question

[sleek night]

I need to exploit better deck change, i really underestimate that for a long time while it's literally giving god power with a good rng

[tender hill]

what is the most powerful enhancement

[serene forge]

lucky

[tender hill]

in balatro

[atomic trout]

Gros Michel has to extinct before Cavendish appears.

[young python]

love

[hybrid tendon]

depends

[sleek night]

Lucky and glass i would say

[mystic bramble]

Ik

[heady narwhal]

it looks pretty intact to me

[summer jay]

All enhancements can range from op to useless depending on your build

[hybrid tendon]

I'd say either lucky or gold most of the time

[serene forge]

I love Glass Joker

oh i forgor gold

its definitely gold yea

[heady narwhal]

gold imo

[tender hill]

lowkey i think its either steel or glass

or maybe lucky

[summer jay]

Rare W take

[heady narwhal]

those are pretty niche aside from endless

[sleek night]

Gold is the one i like the less, it's cool to have for econ but the Xmult from glass, lucky and steel tho....

[heady narwhal]

value generation is universally helpful

[mystic bramble]

What’s yalls opinion on the walkie talkie

[sleek night]

(And lucky can give a ton of money too)

[heady narwhal]

lucky doesn't give xmult

[sleek night]

Ah mb

[summer jay]

X20 mult

[hybrid tendon]

it can, doesn't mean it will, unlike gold

[summer jay]

Fick I forgot to cancel reply

[tender hill]

can balatro make you better at poker?

[serene forge]

steel is mid as fuck

[heady narwhal]

no

[hybrid tendon]

no

[summer jay]

The most it'll do is make you learn the hands

[tacit stream]

Walkie Talkie if it's an Exotic joker

[serene forge]

no

[sleek night]

Ironically i learned the base of poker with it lol but idk about getting better at it

[summer jay]

Balatro has almost nothing to do with poker aside from the hands you play

[heady narwhal]

imo it goes gold > lucky > bonus > glass > steel > stone > mult > unenhanced >>>>>>>>>>>> wild

[sleek night]

Wild is really the looser of the band

Why take this

[tender hill]

hanging chad one of the best commons

didnt mean to reply lmao

[heady narwhal]

it'll be buffed at some point!!

[tender hill]

only good if youre spamming flushes tbh

[summer jay]

When you don't pull moon, star, sun, or world and it's the next best thing

[heady narwhal]

i think it'll be "counts as any suit, cannot be debuffed" which is probably better than stone

[heady narwhal]

not even good for that imo

[tender hill]

is smeared joker a good joker

[heady narwhal]

suit tarots do way more for you in that case

[sleek night]

Legit i think i never got any good flush run since i started the game

[summer jay]

It is when you're trying to flushmax

[heady narwhal]

i'd put it in like low c tier personally

[mystic bramble]

I AM SO FUCKED

Damn

[sleek night]

Good early but the fall off is always hard i feel like

[summer jay]

Called it

[mystic bramble]

God

I love this game how it counters me

[heady narwhal]

it helps you with arrowhead, agate, flowerpot, castle, and maybe aj but that's about it

[mystic bramble]

Gives me more opportunities to try different stuff

[summer jay]

A j

[heady narwhal]

"what about the other suit jokers?" they're not good

[tender hill]

photograph is overrated

[summer jay]

How dare you insult lusty joker

[heady narwhal]

"what about poker hands?" i could take em or leave em personally

it's worse than shortcut for straight flushes and straights are good enough anyways if you can play em reliably

[atomic trout]

I just learned that Straights are the best scalers. And here I was using High Card.

[tender hill]

how exactly?

[mystic bramble]

Honestly even Steven I don’t like him

When odd Tod is just better

[near cairn]

+3 mult per level

[summer jay]

[tender hill]

or maybe

Just pair them

yorick and perkeo are the only good jokers here ngl

[mystic bramble]

No

[atomic trout]

I play a lot of high card

[tender hill]

Why not

[dark cairn]

i love how two pair is normally complete trash
but the moment you get spare trousers it becomes the most op hand in the game

[silent lark]

can you guys shut the fuck up please

[mystic bramble]

I don’t know

[atomic trout]

It scales nicely

[summer jay]

That'd require them to play low-mid straights or full houses to get the most out of it

[tender hill]

woah woah calm down buddy

[tender hill]

how do i make this better

[mystic bramble]

Yikes

[silent lark]

yall are crying like toddlers and half of yall are mature enough to understand that this argeument is genuinely pointless. especially @tender hill

[summer jay]

The argument already ended vro

[tender hill]

the argument was like 30 minutes ago

youre late

[dark cairn]

i just got here whats happening lol

[silent lark]

still mean what i said tho

[tender hill]

ok buddy boy

[silent lark]

system is an idiot thats what

[tender hill]

are they ever gonna add pvp to balatro

[tender hill]

i dont know you bro

[summer jay]

No

[tender hill]

why are you calling me an idiot

Never did nothing to you

[summer jay]

Cuz L takes

[near cairn]

-calls someone stupid for an argument that happened 30 minutes ago
-ignites another pointless argument
impeccable logic, by the way

[tender hill]

listen im not trying to get into this argument again

But like

is this shit not stupid

[tender hill]

EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN

[mystic bramble]

It’s a funny card game guys lol

[tender hill]

its not just a card game

[summer jay]

[tender hill]

Stonks

i need stonks

[mystic bramble]

[tender hill]

STONKS ARE MY PLEASURE

[tender hill]

why is balatros music so GODDAMN GOOD

[mystic bramble]

It’s one song and idk

Wait

I’m lying

There could be more

And it’s just so peak

[tender hill]

ITS 5

[mystic bramble]

WHAT

there’s 5!?

I swear I only hear one

[tender hill]

for different states of the game

If youre in the shop

[mystic bramble]

Oh lol

[tender hill]

It plays the main theme

But differently

If youre opening celestial pack

[mystic bramble]

I think it’s just because it’s like elevator music

[tender hill]

Then it sounds like reverb heaven

[near cairn]

the best rendition imo is the one they played at The Game Awards

[tender hill]

Exactly

[mystic bramble]

What’s yalls thoughts on the ceremonial dagger?

Honestly it’s just like in the middle for me

[near cairn]

yeah same, very mid imo

[tender hill]

i have one problem with the plasma deck

[atomic trout]

Not enough chips?

[tender hill]

When you get high mult and high chips

and then it balances

and then the outcome is lower

[buoyant bison]

decided to do some neptune gaming for fun

straight flush with 9 steel in hand is kind of hilarious

[atomic trout]

My gameplay is: Chips chips chips on Plasma Deck

[near cairn]

i reckon that’s just a you problem lol. if you’re playing Plasma you have to solely focus on chips until you can get retriggers going

[atomic trout]

Stuntman is your friend.

[tender hill]

Alright

[vale wharf]

This is beautiful
12 queens 👑

[buoyant bison]

very strong but expensive and I keep accidentally killing good jokers with it

[mystic bramble]

Real

[tender hill]

I have so many devil cards

now i realize how op perkeo is

[mystic bramble]

Fibonacci is so fun to use

With splash

[tender hill]

its op

[atomic trout]

You need high chips or high Mult. And the added bonus of the double scores.

[blissful cedar]

Does anyone ever focus so hard on getting their hand together that they forget to follow and focus on the rules of the boss blind and lose?

[tender hill]

yea

[blissful cedar]

Does that happen often to anyone else

[atomic trout]

Yes

[blissful cedar]

Ok. Thank you so much. I feel horrible

[tender hill]

its called being in the zone

[buoyant bison]

the amount of times I read "no repeat hand types" as "play only 1 type of hand" or vice versa

[tender hill]

damn ive played 20 flushes this run

[atomic trout]

I got mouthed off by the Mouth many times lol

[mystic bramble]

I HATE THE WALL

[tender hill]

and i have obelisk

So im lowkey selling ngl

[mystic bramble]

Not fun

[heady narwhal]

this can only happen if mult and chips are <2 away from each other

[atomic trout]

You should meet it's father, the Violet Vessel

[mystic bramble]

Oh I hate that guy too

Lost a really fun run with that

Because I didn’t get the cards I needed

[atomic trout]

Purple Stakes Violet Vessel is the worst.

[blissful cedar]

I wasn't paying attention to the physic and had really strong 2 pairs and 4 of a kinds.... i had plasma deck 2 glass cards level 19 2 pair with 1 hierophant 4 and 2 steel cards with 2 blue seals sitting there waiting and i played it with only 4even tho i had a raw 9 to spare

[mystic bramble]

I’m on green stake IM FUCKED

[blissful cedar]

I had wasted 2 hands to get the 2 pair and only had 2 left m

[tender hill]

which deck should i try next

[blissful cedar]

It was so sad and demoralizing

[atomic trout]

Reading helps, lol

[tender hill]

Im bored of plasma

[blissful cedar]

Go play black deck then

That was such a good run

[atomic trout]

Ewwugh

[tender hill]

black deck is ass

[blissful cedar]

On to the next

[atomic trout]

Black deck makes me sad.

[blissful cedar]

Plasma deck in increased difficulty ass

[minor portal]

Plasma is the ultimate white stake deck

[blissful cedar]

Surviving early game black deck is peak hype

white stake

[tender hill]

cause you can get more joker slots with negative jokers

instead of black deck

[atomic trout]

But your start is slow, and hard

[tender hill]

Black deck also removes 1 hand every round

[blissful cedar]

White stake plasma is just green stake everything else

[atomic trout]

That means -$1

[tender hill]

So at this point you just wanna get your shit rocked

[atomic trout]

And on Red Stakes, whoo my! Less money! 😄

[minor portal]

Black deck is only annoying because of the econ loss tbh

three playable hands are manageable

[tranquil cargo]

and because it's easier to die with 1 less hand

[atomic trout]

Why is Red Stakes so damn hard for the next difficulty? Shouldn't Gold Stakes be -1 Discard?

[tender hill]

im gonna try ghost deck gold stake

[blissful cedar]

The early game econ loss spreads out into more problems very fast

-1 hand is no small feat

[split hinge]

Cuz I sleep with his vids on ig

[blissful cedar]

Its almost always better to skip the first small blind imo

[atomic trout]

Looks inside

[tranquil cargo]

it's almost never correct to skip

especially in ante 1

[blissful cedar]

Take ur 2 dollars then

[dark cairn]

you know when i first started watching people play balatro on youtube i saw yellow deck and went
"what, you just start with an extra $10? that's it? just a blank deck but you took out a loan? thats so boring bro"

but im having a blast with the gold stake climb on yellow deck

that extra economy enables SO many extra options

[atomic trout]

Yellow Deck is the opposite of Black Deck

[blissful cedar]

There are no draw backs to yellow deck

Painted deck is the opposite of black

[near cairn]

every single Roffle short I see is just him throwing poggers after he gets something unbelievable. gets very exhausting very quick

[atomic trout]

Except that it becomes a regular, bland deck

[tender hill]

with ghost deck i think you should always use your hex card instantly

[blissful cedar]

Regular with 10 dollars and a head start on eco isnt regular

Regular bland deck is ghost deck and you sell the hex.

[dark cairn]

or being like doc and playing pairs on checkered deck

[atomic trout]

Ghost Deck at least you get Spectral Cards in shop, Magic Deck +1 Consumable.

[blissful cedar]

Yellow is even consider widely as one of the best decks

[atomic trout]

Zodiac a bunch of horrid cards.

[tender hill]

hmmmm

[blissful cedar]

Thats not regular

[terse vale]

thats kinda painted

[tender hill]

Should i pick raised fist

As my first joker

[split hinge]

I dont get it whats avocado reaction

[blissful cedar]

^

You always take raised

[tranquil cargo]

raised fist is one of the strongest common jokers you can start with

[atomic trout]

Ohhh yeah... -1 Joker +2 hands

[dark cairn]

havent played zodiac deck but idk starting with overstock sounds really good

[blissful cedar]

The revolution will see u through

Sometimes you take bus

[atomic trout]

I forgot it had that.

[dark cairn]

+2 hand size

[blissful cedar]

But public transportation doesnt always serve u well.

[dark cairn]

not hands

[atomic trout]

Zodiac is okay. I like Ghost better 😄

[dark cairn]

ghost deck is busted

[blissful cedar]

Bullshit

You gotta get lucky with that shit

[near cairn]

rtb gave me my first gold stake win. it’s broken on Abandoned

[tender hill]

spectral cards are your best bet in gold stake imo

[blissful cedar]

Its one of my weakest decks

[tender hill]

you have soul and wraith

[atomic trout]

I remember 4 Jokers and doing Straights.

[dark cairn]

starting with a hex is batshit strong

[tender hill]

Which both give you rare and legendary jokers

[blissful cedar]

May the lower class rise above

[tender hill]

And they arent rental

[atomic trout]

The x1.5 isn't enough for the start. with the starting low base chips and Mult

[dark cairn]

it is for the first ante

[atomic trout]

True.

[dark cairn]

and it makes the mid and endgame way easier

[atomic trout]

I usually use the Skip Tags

[dark cairn]

there is a reason why natural polychromes are just as rare as natural negatives

(not including hone/glow up)

[signal frigate]

Zodiac is objectively a good deck, it's just terribly forgettable

[near cairn]

i’ve never liked Zodiac because it starts becoming a pain in the ass when useless tarot and planet cards fuck with shop slots. the opportunity cost on Zodiac is off the charts

[atomic trout]

It's never talked about 😭

[tender hill]

straights are op

[dark cairn]

zodiac deck is drspectreds fav deck for some reason

[signal frigate]

No one likes it because it's just really boring to some extent

[atomic trout]

It's like Jokerless with benefits.

[signal frigate]

Well, the vouchers are amazing

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[signal frigate]

Everyone does

[dark cairn]

jokerless but you can actually get jokers

[heady narwhal]

?

[atomic trout]

Dear god. LOL

[dark cairn]

thank you for typing bloodstone

[vale wharf]

Please Jimbo, do not eat my fucking blueprint 🙏
Please, my first gold stake 🙏🙏🙏

[dark cairn]

you got my words mixed up

[atomic trout]

Tarots and Planet cards

[dark cairn]

👍

[serene forge]

that's why it starts with overstock

[heady narwhal]

tarots are good

i take tarot merchant on regular ass runs

[atomic trout]

They are good when they give me what I want, lol

[blissful cedar]

You dont even risk this

[near cairn]

even so, it does end up being a pain sometimes

[atomic trout]

I've seen Tarot cards that just mock you when you needed them the most

[exotic orchid]

What are you copying with bp anyway lol.

[blissful cedar]

The best scenario here is yake burnt and play pair right?

[vale wharf]

Madness

[heady narwhal]

what do you mean by this

[vale wharf]

Hmm?

[dark cairn]

if you have stuntman you dont need chips so take burnt and play high card

[serene forge]

or hc

[blissful cedar]

I wouldnt risk madness and blueprint

[serene forge]

because stunt

[atomic trout]

I had Death cards appear on cards that I wanted to copy, not show up lol

[exotic orchid]

Oh didn't find any eternal mults?

[vale wharf]

WAIT

[serene forge]

never in a million years you pick photo here lmao

[vale wharf]

I CAN SKIP EVERY BLIND FROM HERE ON

[blissful cedar]

Yeah they both are +1 mult on level up

[vale wharf]

No 😭😭😭

[heady narwhal]

what

[dark cairn]

burnt joker my beloved

prob my favourite joker ngl

[vale wharf]

Beautiful

[atomic trout]

Nevermind. I want Tarot cards that help me on my runs. More Hermits

[lunar zealot]

Burnt is great

[dark cairn]

only time im unhappy to see it is if i dont have room/discards for it

[tender hill]

ok im on ante 4

please

[steep knoll]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIRD WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tender hill]

I need to win this gold stake

[tender hill]

try gold stake

[dark cairn]

flushed away

[atomic trout]

Yay 😄

[fallow shadow]

how do you get the napkin joker

[dark cairn]

discard a royal flush

[atomic trout]

Brainstorm? lol

[heady narwhal]

unlock all button

[terse vale]

? no

[fallow shadow]

thank you

[steep knoll]

Jokers that made me win

[atomic trout]

Funny how Royal Flushes are so underated. lol

[terse vale]

Thats not how u get it

[heady narwhal]

4 mult jokers?

[tender hill]

misprint is overpowered

[fallow shadow]

pbjz have you tried balatrostuck yet

[heady narwhal]

i don't think this is true

[tender hill]

no cause think about it

[tranquil cargo]

the 0-23 mult or the see your next card trick?

[dark cairn]

Brainstorm
BaseNegative

Effect
Copies the ability of leftmost Joker
Rarity
Rare
Unlock Requirement
Discard a Royal Flush.

[terse vale]

👀 nooo I have not

[heady narwhal]

it'd be kind of silly to go for royal flush over any other strush

[tender hill]

you have the chance to get a high ass +mult

[terse vale]

it only works on wednesdays u forgottttttt

[atomic trout]

Unless you have Smudge, Shortcut, and Four Fingers

[fallow shadow]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1229122387308707930 out a few days ago youve GOT to hop on its peak

[heady narwhal]

even so why wouldn't you go for middle ranks?

[dark cairn]

i wouldnt call them underrated when theyre the hardest hand type to build around effectively

[tender hill]

yeah

[dark cairn]

on high stake, straight flushes are only viable on checkered deck and even then theyre very situational

[atomic trout]

True. I sometimes don't think about it.

[tender hill]

it would be a fucking hell to have a royal flush build

[atomic trout]

Straights then, for the win.

[heady narwhal]

i've run straight flushes at least twice on gold stake

[tender hill]

im gonna run spade only on gold stake

[dark cairn]

that was how i beat red deck gold stake lol

early arrowhead + like 3 world cards and went "hm yes this is the flush run"

[vale wharf]

Gotta be a W, right?

[tender hill]

plus i also have wrathful joker

[dark cairn]

arrowhead is freaking crazy strong

[atomic trout]

Flush house?

[dark cairn]

only viable with triboulet

[tender hill]

and shit

My misprint got disabled

time to sell it

[fallow shadow]

it's over

congratulations

[tender hill]

Since it is an inanimate object

[dark cairn]

keep for temperance value until you find a replacement

[tender hill]

I got egg

[dark cairn]

ok

[tender hill]

This will be helpful in the long run lwk

[vale wharf]

Yippee!
First ever gold stake!

[atomic trout]

Swashbuckler

[tender hill]

Cause i will be constantly losing mobey

But

[vale wharf]

Mobey

Mobey deck

[tender hill]

if i am in dire need of a couple jokers or tarot cards

I can sell the egg

[dark cairn]

was thinking the same thing lmao

[vale wharf]

Lollll

[tender hill]

how do i tell what a face down card is

[tranquil cargo]

you can sort by suit and by rank

[tender hill]

Bet

[tranquil cargo]

also using a tarot card on it will reveal it

[tender hill]

YES AND I GOT A STRAIGHT

LETS GO

fuck

I lost

[atomic trout]

Wah wah

[tender hill]

what deck should i play on gold stake

[vale wharf]

Is red card good? 🙄

[young python]

yellow

[tranquil cargo]

yes

especially on yellow

[vale wharf]

Ok, I will try it

[tender hill]

lowkey wanna do a seeded run fr

[young python]

do balls it’s a good seed

unironically

[tender hill]

what does it have

[young python]

perkeo or some bs idk

[tender hill]

which ante

[young python]

idk

[tender hill]

eh i have a txt file

Of a bunch of perkeo seeds

[young python]

idek if it does have perkeo

i usually just fish smthn off the seed channel

[tender hill]

Got it from a thread

these seeds are op

[vale wharf]

Hot take: jokers shouldn't have both eternal and rental seals
(especially at ante 1 😭)

[bleak hemlock]

blue seals go brrrrr

[tender hill]

should i do perkeo & canio

[bleak hemlock]

yes

[tender hill]

or perkeo & triboulet

[vale wharf]

It's beautiful

[vale wharf]

Come on, obviously triboulet

[tender hill]

Bet

[lament bronze]

Uses fushigi on your jokers

[bleak hemlock]

🦭

bruh look at this hand lmao

[tame sluice]

ts💔

[spiral cairn]

balatro

more lik

balls

ay how much is balatro on steam

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of wee joker?

[bleak hemlock]

plasma or normal?

[tranquil cargo]

on plasma deck that sounds insane

on anything else they better be polychrome or something

[neat ore]

Painted

[bleak hemlock]

on gold stake not that good

[midnight timber]

60$

and it needs a subscription to play it after that

that's just the demo

90$ per minute

[tranquil cargo]

and if you lose, you lose even more money

it is rated 18+ for gambling after all

[midnight timber]

180$ added to the subscription every time

if you los

and it automatically pays the current subscription payment x5 if you lose

[torpid veldt]

but if you win you lose 360$ which is more cause requirers more effort than losing

[midnight timber]

if you get naneinf then you die

[silent quiver]

Balatro in a casino where it costs 50 dollars to play and u get all the money u make during the run but its gold stake black deck with plasma deck blind scaling after ante 1 and u cant go past ante 8

Thoughts

[bleak hemlock]

vewwy fun run

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[bleak hemlock]

i love bloodstone

i also hate bloodstone

[silent quiver]

Schrödingers bloodstone

[tranquil cargo]

there's a 1 in 2 chance that I like bloodstone

[proper turtle]

should I swap stuntman for chad? I have lvl9 pair

[twin linden]

You have evil egg

[gentle nova]

Hi guys im new to this game should i just do a normal run or a seeded run

[proper turtle]

so rocket goes?

that money tho....

[uncut matrix]

why seeded

do a normal run explore the game on your own

[twin linden]

Idk I just saw evil egg

[gentle nova]

Doesnt have to be a busted/godlike seed

A fun seed

[uncut matrix]

no reason to

seeded runs cant earn achievements and have a couple other things you cant unlock from them iirc

do whatever you want but theres rly no reason for a new player to seed runs before they know anything about the game

[candid niche]

guys, should i ecto here?

[proper turtle]

when starting off, unseeded runs are the best

[gentle nova]

Ooo ok

[vale wharf]

Oh my god

[uncut matrix]

lol

the fun option is going left

onyx is a fire +mult card tho

[gentle nova]

I did SILKSONG seed for fun but how do i counter/beat the fish 😢

[vale wharf]

What the fuck

[candid niche]

?

[vale wharf]

I'm definitely buying BP
Should I get bull too?

[uncut matrix]

whyu would you buy bp

[vale wharf]

If I get any xmult, I'm set

[uncut matrix]

thats so much interest and potential interest gone for very minimal temporary help

[vale wharf]

I'm going all out

All risks taken

[shell seal]

Balatrodle Idk why i struggled so much

[uncut matrix]

perishable bp not worth here

[vale wharf]

Oh, I didn't realise it was perishable 😭

I'm still not used to the stake stickers

[uncut matrix]

lowkey bull wouldve been a decent purchase there

you didnt need it then but as a growing chips joker it was pretty alr

[vale wharf]

5JLJZDHD
Here's the seed if y'all want

[proper turtle]

finally won blue on black deck

[vale wharf]

Bluestorm bullstraps (BSBS) is funny

[smoky vessel]

funny how life works sometimes

[vale wharf]

Are there jokers that can't have the negative edition? For example, you have your slots full with a negative invisible joker. This would make it impossible to sell it

[unreal island]

hi guys

[uncut matrix]

i think it just wouldnt do anything

[unreal island]

subscribe to my onlyjonks

[lunar zealot]

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY

[vale wharf]

Rip 🪦

[uncut matrix]

nice ante 2 shop

[uncut matrix]

is this the right ss? seems pretty standard

[lunar zealot]

learn to appreciate the small for what it is

[uncut matrix]

i mean

its a good shop for sure

not that special tho

where’s the obligatory copy joker / nat negative bean

[vale wharf]

Educate me, what's so great here?

[lunar zealot]

well i lost the run cuz shitty econ

but other than that red card runner grabber in one shop is amazing

[vale wharf]

No planets, no tarots, just pure 💰💰💰 🤑

Midas mask evolution 🧬 idea💡
Rose Midas: all face cards in played hand become gold and red sealed

[tame sluice]

is anyone online up to help me lol

[obsidian patrol]

Hi

[kind mica]

Say, is baseball card worth taking? If so, what do I replace? Blueprint is perishable and disappears in 4 rounds but I'd still get 8 jupiters from it. Not sure how much xmult I'd lose from removing blueprint right now.

[obsidian patrol]

probably bull or bootstraps go

[minor portal]

yes, eviscerate your scoring

[kind mica]

Gotcha, replacing bootstraps then.

Needed a reason to spend more money anyways.

[rugged wasp]

u jsut go over the limit im pretty sure

[obsidian patrol]

You end up with 6/5 jokers

[vale wharf]

Oh, I see

That's a unique interaction

[split hinge]

wow look how lifeless I am

[tame sluice]

I’ve sent 147k messages and spent 300 hours in vc

💔

[kind mica]

Ooh, finally unlocked erratic deck.

[tranquil path]

Quick question, I am going for C++ completing runs isn't the problem but getting legendaries to show up is. Is it just a waiting game now or is there anything else I can do to prompt them besides opening every pack?

My Troublesome Trio

[spice glen]

guys help what do I do here

do I ignore the brainstorm and just go forwards

or what do I sell

[quartz ember]

thats all, just grind it out on your easiest deck

[tacit stream]

also, until you gold sticker all 5, your gold stake seeds will always have their first Soul pop into a Legendary that you don't have a gold sticker on.

[tawdry burrow]

tried to play omelette
couldn't draw a flush for the life of me
dies

[tranquil path]

Thank you, I guess I'll make it a challenge and roatate them.

[tawdry burrow]

and I had Swashbuckler too!

[tranquil path]

That's nice, I'd probably quit if that wasn't the case and after this drought the first Legendary was one of my golds lol

[tranquil path]

what does your deck look like? Have you been fixing it so you can get rid of pareidolia?

[spice glen]

Im mostly going for full houses but my erratic deck had mostly aces and kings

I’ve been getting rid of any numbers tho

[tranquil path]

I'd get rid of pareidolia personally and switch to kings but idk what your goal is. It also looks good enough to win as is.

[spice glen]

yeah I managed to win. Now I’m just going to just test how good it is lmao. Thx

I’ll try switching to kings

[tranquil path]

best of luck

[quartz ember]

strictly speaking you would have just sold invis here, but ofc if you are going endless it doesnt make sense

[tranquil path]

oh yeah, I missed that

[obsidian patrol]

pareidolia
