[plain ermine]

it is kinda just a worse rebate though lol

[proper bronze]

even riff raff better econ

[gloomy swallow]

riff raff so good

[proper bronze]

rebalanced rebate

[plain ermine]

true!

[gloomy swallow]

I used it here and there and it had its utility but i also kinda wished i had rebate there

it just a dollar tree rebate

[smoky bobcat]

mime for econ

[gloomy swallow]

not even that i think they are both the same price

[smoky bobcat]

chaos the clown for econ...

[plain ermine]

astronomer for econ

[gloomy swallow]

chaos clown is good early game

[heavy heron]

yummm

[gloomy swallow]

now that is a good joker early game

[dire barn]

i used that on my first green stake win

[smoky bobcat]

space joker for econ is pretty good

doing a funny space joker run rn that i just lost

got to ante 6 because i didnt wanna get any scoring jokers

[gloomy swallow]

Space joker funny

[heavy heron]

i don’t know why i’ve been playing like this recently like i just open standard packs until i see a cool card

and just play towards that all game

in 2nd video i ignored an acrobat so i could keep my hand size LOOLLL

because i had so much steel

card scoring 🤤

i almost died to the pillar both runs but thankfully enhancements exist

[lavish ridge]

Just get pareidolia

Then its the best

[heavy heron]

woah woah woahhhh

[smoky bobcat]

paradolia golden mask

[heavy heron]

i love me some faceless

[heady narwhal]

i like faceless

[heavy heron]

faceless is so satisfying

[plain ermine]

yeah i like faceless too, it’s just relatively weak compared to some of the others

[quartz ember]

delgrat

[plain ermine]

which is fine

[gloomy swallow]

alr I see where you go now

however that's just as reliable as canio and PARALEIDOIA

[latent egret]

satellite

[heavy heron]

surely satellite is worse than faceless

surely

[gloomy swallow]

it's just a wet dream at that point

[heady narwhal]

i'd say business and satellite and maybe rough gem are worse (i mean rough gem is probably more income but it costs $7!!)

[gloomy swallow]

eh it's debatable

[quartz ember]

yea satellite too

[heavy heron]

BUSINESS is… not worse than faceless.. i think

[lavish ridge]

Business>faceless its not even close

[plain ermine]

rough gem can be paired with retriggers and stuff but it requires a full diamond flush to get most value out of

[gloomy swallow]

oh rough gem is another choice for worst one yeah

[crude nest]

Play this seed: 7ZXJYWBS

[heady narwhal]

satellite: $0 per round earlygame
faceless: $5 per round earlygame

[latent egret]

“nooo but you dont understand if you spend 20$ satellite is a great joker ?!!!!@

[heavy heron]

if i see a rough gem early i turn off my brain and go diamond flushes

[heavy heron]

what deck?

and stake?

[latent egret]

average satellite fan

[heady narwhal]

it's easier to discard 3 faces than to play 5 scoring faces imo

[quartz ember]

2.5$ per 3 faces 5$ per 3 faces

[crude nest]

I got it on a challenge

[proper bronze]

#1156061354076155944

[heavy heron]

faceless is less luck than business

[heavy heron]

ahh i see

[latent egret]

its 3$

for 3 faces

[heady narwhal]

faceless also works with rtb and hrt and such

[heavy heron]

you also have to remember that it costs you $1 to play extra hands for a CHANCE at business to work

[crude nest]

X vision to be precise.

[quartz ember]

yea maybe

[lavish ridge]

I almost never get to discard 3 face cards when im also trying to score

[plain ermine]

hrt

[heady narwhal]

faceless is easiest if you have half joker or a chips joker or something

[heavy heron]

like sometimes you can’t play your face cards early so you be doing some weird high card on a face card hoping business hits

if it hits you’re only up $1

if not, you’re down $1

[heady narwhal]

yeah most hands with business are money neutral which is bad

[smoky bobcat]

just use perkeo + hermit each round for econ

$20 is more than $5

[plain ermine]

use cert to find gold seal easy

[heavy heron]

they got a point

[neat ore]

How good is 5 copies of trading card?

[smoky bobcat]

not great for scoring i think

[quartz ember]

epic

[tough hemlock]

what a start to a run

[smoky bobcat]

what a start to a run

[ocean yoke]

should i do the funny or take the supernova

[tough hemlock]

LOL

[proper bronze]

debuffed high card with the flint will do

[plain ermine]

love wins

[dire barn]

THE DUO HAS ASSEMBLED

[proper bronze]

balatro yuri

[ocean yoke]

its so peak

[smoky bobcat]

lost :( didnt get the lucky proc

[proper bronze]

what

💢

you were 1 score away

[heavy heron]

wait what happens?

does it still only delete 1 card

for $15

or like

delete 5 cards, $3 each

[proper bronze]

didn't you ask that already

[ocean yoke]

and in barely anything i got a nat negative and a polychome super nova

[proper bronze]

like few days ago

[ocean yoke]

im doing two pair one odd one even just for the funnys

[smoky bobcat]

shit happens ig 🤷‍♂️ sometimes the game just doesnt want you to win

[tough hemlock]

wowza am i winning

[red thistle]

Start?

[smoky bobcat]

yeah thats ante 1 im just on plasma

[red thistle]

With a 4.8k big blind.

[red thistle]

Sure buddy.

[smoky bobcat]

thats just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes

[true pilot]

hi

how to correctly sell this 2

[obsidian patrol]

save scum

[smoky bobcat]

sell one, if it is wrong, quit and reload, then choose the other one

[vague sequoia]

Sell the brainstorm first

[smoky bobcat]

but also its set in the seed so it wont be an rng thing if they both dont work

or get the clubs joker so you can play flushes

[true pilot]

its plasma

[lavish ridge]

Wait a minute everyone, i just remembered the worst econ joker is reserved parking

[true pilot]

i dont think i would survive

[smoky bobcat]

youll want to pivot into mult eventually anyways

[obsidian patrol]

dont need it

[smoky bobcat]

but yeah sell both invis and if one turns back into invis just sell it again later

but i like jupiter because its big and round

[obsidian patrol]

+15 mult on club flushes is really not something you should be considering on plasma

[native fog]

its my first day playing and i got to round 20 is it good?

[obsidian patrol]

probably

[dire barn]

I'D SAY SO

[glad sequoia]

Oh my goodness, two souls in one shop

[dire barn]

oops caps lock was on

[native fog]

lol

i had dagger which i got to +66 mult

lowk carried

[thorny axle]

strange, isn't it

[indigo oyster]

What ante did you get to? @native fog

[native fog]

7

[dire barn]

what is strange?

[indigo oyster]

Nice. Very good understanding or the game for the first day.

[glad sequoia]

It was perkeo

[native fog]

thanks

[dire barn]

oh the photochad

[native fog]

i rlly like the game, not like anything else ive played

[dire barn]

yeah, i only got to like round 15 ante 5 my first run

[indigo oyster]

For real. It just feels so good on the brain

[dire barn]

that's great

[dire barn]

especially if you turn the speed up to 4

[native fog]

that run was like my 3rd or 4th

[dire barn]

oh ok

[native fog]

how do u do that

[wheat haven]

Leave me outta this

[dire barn]

go into options, game speed should be one of the first things you see

[native fog]

ok ill make sure to do it next time i play

[dire barn]

yeah, it makes the game so much faster, especially on higher stakes when you have a lot of things happening

[native fog]

yea ik what u mean. sometimes the game feels a bit slow.

[dire barn]

yeah, and mods let it go even faster

are you playing on pc?

[native fog]

yh

[cloud sinew]

balatro 🐘

[native fog]

is it on mobile?

[obsidian patrol]

you can increase the speed

in the settings

[dire barn]

yes, and switch, playstation, xbox, etc

[native fog]

ill deffo get it on mobile. will be so good for long flights

[dire barn]

yeah, its only 10$ too

or free on apple arcade if you have that

[smoky bobcat]

cant afford the first shop eternal blueprint :(

[dire barn]

NOOOOOO

[cloud sinew]

holographic splash would be the optimal take here even if you could afford blueprint

[native fog]

o yes i have that

[smoky bobcat]

yeah i know i already took it

[dire barn]

then its free

[smoky bobcat]

blue stake pairs funny

[native fog]

w

ok bye i gtg

[dire barn]

same

[indigo oyster]

I don't usually take splash, what is the common strategy with splash?

[smoky bobcat]

play pairs, then add any lucky/glass/bonus/mult cards in the extra slots

[indigo oyster]

Ahh, ok. That makes sense. Less worry about fitting the hand.

[smoky bobcat]

or in my case, anything that can retrigger with the hack i got in shop 2 lol

[thorny axle]

Five Random Bullshits

[smoky bobcat]

plus it gives you the opportunity to add more things to non 5 card hands, like gold cards with lucky ticket, or 2s when youre playing with your wee

[indigo oyster]

True! What is the mod that adds those stats under each joker? And also that switches the brainstorm to look like the joker it is copying?

[smoky bobcat]

but also splash can suck with some cards (pretty much just ride the bus) because it considers everything to be scored, so you cant really use them to dump extra cards anymore

but overall net positive, esp if you get a bit of score with it on top

[smoky bobcat]

"JokerDisplay", and "Blueprint"

[indigo oyster]

Ok! Thanks.

[icy fable]

Splash My goat

[smoky bobcat]

a couple other good mods to look for imo are "Galdur" (simplifies the card select screen before a run, and makes it easier to see more than one at a time), Handy (lets you click and drag to select cards instead of one at a time, and a bunch of other QoL improvements, and "Casey"

[heavy heron]

well alright then

funky win streak going

[cloud sinew]

with lvl 23 high card it wouldve been best to add glass instead of lucky

[heavy heron]

well considering the run ends at ante 8

it wouldn’t matter

knew i’d win either way

[smoky bobcat]

omfg how could we possibly have forgotten to bring up lucky cards when talking about the best econ

thats just $20 every trigger if you use them right

[red thistle]

Mime's nutty.

[heavy heron]

it is

but honestly high card is nutty

[stark karma]

photo over wee? wee is only at like 80

[heavy heron]

the lack of pressure to deck fix is very freeing

you could like.. be fooling chariots and not have a care in the world

[smoky bobcat]

sell the vagabond while youre at $34?

[stark karma]

mmmmmm

the deckfixing tho

ok

[smoky bobcat]

also photo kinda needs retriggers to be nice

[stark karma]

true

[smoky bobcat]

and you wont have a lot of space in your deck for it on painted

[stark karma]

skip ig

[smoky bobcat]

but tbf so does trib so you could make it work

[heavy heron]

let’s just say i don’t always do the most ideal things if i know i win

LOOLLLL

cavendish hard carry

whoops finger slipped

chad sold itself

that’s so weird

anyways balatro

bro foil supernova first shop is just a free win like that was the least effortful run ever

[stark karma]

I made it work

[heavy heron]

hanging trib

hanging phototrib

[smoky bobcat]

thats all you need for the rest of the run tbh

[heavy heron]

just don’t get planted!!!!

[smoky bobcat]

use your last $3 on wheel itll give you polychrome

Always does

[heavy heron]

or, like, pillar’d

if you get pillar’d carry some enhancements on you

and suit changers maybe if suit debuff incoming

[smoky bobcat]

Now youve just gotta full send into planets and tarots

[heavy heron]

always check boss each new ante, it’ll be your only chance at winning if an incoming boss comes to kill you

you can counter every boss coming (except plant) with preparation

[smoky bobcat]

yeah exactly

[fervent wolf]

Straights are awesome

[smoky bobcat]

hope to god you get a reroll voucher lol

[wintry ice]

(including plant)

[heavy heron]

(speculative luchador incoming)

[fervent wolf]

You can counter plant easily

[heavy heron]

nice

[heavy heron]

and how do you do that

[wintry ice]

because planet levels and justice don't exist

[heavy heron]

that’s right, they don’t

[fervent wolf]

Any glass cards or retriggers

[heavy heron]

not w $3 heheh

[wintry ice]

aswell as not basing all of your scoring on face cards

[smoky bobcat]

i mean if you find luchador you COULD take him over the photograph because it wouldnt be impossible to get it back but also like make that a last resort obv

[fervent wolf]

Besides, I usually run straights so I don't play face cards often especially on gold stake

[heavy heron]

well… considering they got photo chad and trib… yea they’re kinda reliant on face cards.. but true! glass can win here

for sure

[smoky bobcat]

oh also make sure you dont have all of one suit for kings/queens with death cards for that same reason

[heavy heron]

hanging chad alone allows that

[wintry ice]

yeah

which makes the threat avoidable

if your scoring is already more than fine

[fervent wolf]

Chad fib glass 3s

[wintry ice]

you should go for safety instead

[smoky bobcat]

verdant leaf though...

[wintry ice]

doubt you need all of your jokers with most on-scoring builds

[smoky bobcat]

nvm the fucking wee joker im stupid you wont be triggering them both so itll be like 100 chips max

[heavy heron]

that’s funny

[wintry ice]

just don't take too many eternals

[smoky bobcat]

yeah but hes on painted so hes only got the 4 which could suck

in general yeah by that point your planets should be enough to deal with it tho

[thorny garnet]

what a golden joker

[wintry ice]

wee is sellable

[smoky bobcat]

technically a net positive, about 50% of the time because of the loss in intrest

[thorny garnet]

its also chips because of foil

[serene forge]

eternal is a little sus imo

[smoky bobcat]

and its eternal so you can ankh it on ghost deck :)

[thorny garnet]

yeah thats what got me doubting

[smoky bobcat]

just in case you wanted two !

[thorny garnet]

but the thing is whens the next time i find some source of chips

[smoky bobcat]

the arcana packs..?

[thorny garnet]

relying on bonus cards feels BAD

but fair point

[smoky bobcat]

but itll help you score your hands until you can find a second joker

[wintry ice]

dunno if i'd take that as a second eternal

[stark karma]

hmmmmmm

[thorny garnet]

well that settles that thought

lol

Thanks judgement

[wintry ice]

you could swap photo or wee out

[stark karma]

yeah

probs photo

[smoky bobcat]

do wee

[stark karma]

I mean wee is barely anything

[smoky bobcat]

the mult is gonna be after your xmult

so it will do literally nothing

[stark karma]

but its fun to scale him

[smoky bobcat]

true

[stark karma]

yeah makes sense

no plant so I'm clear

[wintry ice]

if any threathening bosses are left i'd replace wee with econ

[smoky bobcat]

nice

all you have to worry abt now is leaf

[last bolt]

fuck painted deck and fuck violet vessel

[smoky bobcat]

but im sure theres no way that could possibly show up and ruin the run right

[wintry ice]

surely trib gets to 400k on his own

and if he doesn't then what's all that "high reward" for

[white zodiac]

naught

[smoky bobcat]

would trib work on debuffed kings tho ?

[wintry ice]

no

but they probably far more than overscore here

[smoky bobcat]

true

or ig crimson debuffing the chad for 5 hands in a row could kill lol

[stark karma]

lol

[stark karma]

ig sell wee?

[heady narwhal]

i don't think this can happen

[honest dawn]

1 million in Jokerless

[smoky bobcat]

i know it can do the same one repeatedly it would just be HELLA unlucky

[heady narwhal]

i don't think it can?

iirc it's coded to always switch

[white zodiac]

why would it stick to one joker for a roster with multiple targets

[smoky bobcat]

i lost a run because it debuffed my fucking constellation 3x in a row like a week ago but idk maybe one of the mods ive got on fucked with it

[white zodiac]

unless you have one joker it’s coded to always switch to another target when it’s available

or that

[heady narwhal]

that's likely

[smoky bobcat]

its literally just handy + skin mods though so idk

[heady narwhal]

steamodded is weird

[stark karma]

yall I'm finna cry

I cant do it

[wintry ice]

smods is weirdly unstable

[serene forge]

smots

[stark karma]

unbuyable brainstorm

[terse vale]

welp

[willow frost]

smots gaming

[wintry ice]

there was a bug where you couldn't draw past like 3 cards if you quit right as a hand finished scoring

[heady narwhal]

it reimplements a lot of the game from scratch for modding compatibility i think

[terse vale]

photo is ripe for the picking

[stark karma]

trib will be ripe for the picking on verdant leaf

[white zodiac]

at the cost of dying to leaf

[terse vale]

ohh yeah

[smoky bobcat]

just dont get leaf duh

[stark karma]

so sad bros

should I gamba

[smoky bobcat]

flip a coin

[stark karma]

more like roll a dice

[terse vale]

ya I forgot about leaf sorry

[stark karma]

its coo

[last bolt]

I hate this deck with my entire soul

[stark karma]

same bruh

[white zodiac]

if tails, this pokémon does 30 damage to itself

[last bolt]

I just violated the violet vessel

[heavy heron]

i feel like crimson heart is the “default” boss this game designed itself around

i don’t know if that makes e sense

[wintry ice]

teto fans when they get more of a song

[smoky bobcat]

i havent touched painted since i started hunting for gold stickers ngl

[last bolt]

And i still need gold on painted 🥀

[neat ore]

If I have 2 jokers that both give 5x mult that means it's together 10x mult?

[stark karma]

ok I'll buy brainstorm and if it's leaf I get a funny moment

[heady narwhal]

that's strange because violet vessel and verdant leaf are the only ones that are the same in pre-release versions

[smoky bobcat]

its 5x, then 5x after, so its 25x

[stark karma]

actually I could just get some glass?

[smoky bobcat]

that would work

[heavy heron]

what was crimson

[white zodiac]

what’s 5x5

[smoky bobcat]

no it wouldnt

[heady narwhal]

i think acorn used to shuffle every hand, and heart/bell were leftmost/rightmost joker disabled respectively

[smoky bobcat]

wait no it would youd just have to sell the photo/trib if you got leaf and pray for the one glass card

[white zodiac]

you’re telling me acorn used to do something

[heavy heron]

wait what, it shuffled your hand? can’t you just rearrange it manually?

[smoky bobcat]

it would do the same tbh

[ocean yoke]

luchador W

[heavy heron]

also heart disabling leftmost joker is stupid you can just move something useless there

[heady narwhal]

shuffles jokers every time you play a hand

[heavy heron]

glad they changed it

[heavy heron]

ohhhh

wait that’s so good

[white zodiac]

damn i can’t read

[ocean yoke]

came in last second

[heady narwhal]

apparently it sucked because it got reworked to a nothing boss

[white zodiac]

you didn’t need to use him btw

[ocean yoke]

why doe

complete flush build

[heavy heron]

next time, check boss then skip if you must (if you’re about to select big blind, ancient is on hearts and boss is on hearts, then you’re GUARANTEED ancient won’t land on hearts when boss comes around because it can’t repeat same suit 2 rounds in a row

however if you’re about to select big blind, ancient is on spades and boss is on hearts, just skip to play it safe)

[white zodiac]

could’ve skipped big blind to preserve luch for a worse threatening boss blind

[stark karma]

phewwwww

[ocean yoke]

ah yea i just lowk forgo

[smoky bobcat]

so true !

[stark karma]

it was vessel

[ocean yoke]

its 12 am for me

thx though

just need to be on my guard

[stark karma]

NEGATIVE CONSTELLATION

[white zodiac]

aka needle/water/mouth/hook/serpent

[stark karma]

MY GOAT

[honest dawn]

Jokerless didn't seem as difficult to me as I thought it would be.

The last time I did it, it took me many tries.

[smoky bobcat]

it really isnt too tough because you get so many planets and tarots

golden needle took me longer tbh

[honest dawn]

Yeah

[thorny garnet]

having to sell my value generators because the wall is coming

i hate the wall

[last bolt]

average balatro player be like
(btw, what does ur message say, i can't read)

Should I go ahead and do painted on gold or should i finish orange on the rest of the decks

[terse vale]

is this server finally past its I hate red card phase

[smoky bobcat]

erratic

[terse vale]

I haven’t heard much about it

[heavy heron]

no

[last bolt]

damn alr 🥀

[heavy heron]

orange

🟠

[honest dawn]

Red card is good, better than ceremonial dagger.

[white zodiac]

we’re entering into a rebate isn’t op phase as of a couple hours ago iirc

[heavy heron]

🍊

[ocean yoke]

yea that wouldve been wise

[heavy heron]

BROOOO

[white zodiac]

figures

[heavy heron]

the mouth

[ocean yoke]

called it

[heavy heron]

i hate the mouth

[ocean yoke]

bad draw

[heavy heron]

you find your hand in two discards or die

same with needle

[wintry ice]

red car or something

[heavy heron]

except at least needle halves your requirement

[white zodiac]

don’t car

[ocean yoke]

burglar please i need this

[heavy heron]

the mouth you just die

[wintry ice]

whuh

[ocean yoke]

YEA

[ocean yoke]

IM KINDA JOKERLESS

Caps

ehoops

chat is this cooked

[heavy heron]

i mean a wet towel is better than dagger

[heavy heron]

but i will say.. dagger is very fun

[honest dawn]

I'm doing pretty well.

[stark karma]

violet vessel? never heard of it

[white zodiac]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[wintry ice]

dagger is fine

[terse vale]

fuuucckkk

[honest dawn]

Even if it's just fun

[wintry ice]

scaling +mult is scaling +mult

[glad sequoia]

Both perkeo and Trib in ante 4 round 16 shop here

[wintry ice]

and it's an unique source of it so i like it

[heavy heron]

just expensive to scale it

[white zodiac]

makes a fun sound

[heavy heron]

and need space

[smoky bobcat]

just do it on black deck duh

[stark karma]

Thunk gave me negative ride the bus just in case leaf wanted to mess w me

[smoky bobcat]

win-win

[ocean yoke]

ts lowk cooked since i played so much of low quality games with just photo chad and stuff but im tryna fix it but itll take a while

[white zodiac]

technically it has the best money to mult conversion

[ocean yoke]

for 200 hours it was just me doing whatever

[wintry ice]

i didn't draw a single pair they suck

[ocean yoke]

no strategy just head on

[heavy heron]

true but then you still need space

[wintry ice]

so called most consistent hand smh

[white zodiac]

which isnt needed all the time

[ocean yoke]

hoping for a flush build

[honest dawn]

I advise you to stop playing with figures when dealing with high wells.

[ocean yoke]

i have been doing that receently but 200 hours of my 280 hours were just playing glush builds so

[terse vale]

Well I did use an immolate before this with no jacks harmed

I don’t see why not

[wintry ice]

pair builds are the most consistent way to win because there are like 60 jokers that work well with them

[uncut slate]

proud to share that photo isn't even in my joker stats page

[wintry ice]

htr mention!!!

[ocean yoke]

W

[white zodiac]

it’s only a matter of time

[ocean yoke]

im tryna get photo outta here

i dont care about chad

chad can stay

[honest dawn]

And another tip, Hanging Chad is good on its own.

[ocean yoke]

i like chad

[uncut slate]

chad is my #1 though i always be takin that guy in case i get gold seals

[honest dawn]

It does not need a photo to work

[ocean yoke]

gracias

[honest dawn]

I'm talking about high stakes.

[smoky bobcat]

photo isnt even in my top 10 but chad is my #2 lol

[wintry ice]

photochad runs get more infrequent as you get better at the game

[smoky bobcat]

more than valuable enough by itself

[honest dawn]

Chad it's My top 1

[uncut slate]

possibly the most versatile joker

[ocean yoke]

happy to at least say i got brainstorm on the page

[honest dawn]

I'm almost certain

[ocean yoke]

before it wasnt

[wintry ice]

they don't work as well with smaller hands and need planets to scale

• it's 2 specific jokers compared to some random assortment or +mult, chips and xmult

[white zodiac]

i don’t have brainstorm

[ocean yoke]

my favoutire joker is wee tbh

so funny

[wintry ice]

wee is fun

[smoky bobcat]

exactly 1000 blueprints lol

[honest dawn]

Yes, Chad, it's top 1

[white zodiac]

fun

[wintry ice]

i like htr, obelisk, campfire and glass a lot

[uncut slate]

yeah tbh it feels like most of them time when offered a photo and i have chad i decline it

[heavy heron]

hit the road jackkk

[white zodiac]

i like unconventional runs

[wintry ice]

i wouldn't say it's the best joker in the game because consistent xmult is extremely valuable

[heavy heron]

me too genuinely LOOLLL

[ocean yoke]

cursed run with some random common are always the best

i want a see seeing double run

[solemn heath]

do i sell for the tribe here?

[white zodiac]

i like whatever this was

[ocean yoke]

ive never used that joker

[solemn heath]

obelisk ??

[ocean yoke]

r u an obelisk enjoyer

[honest dawn]

It's not the best, but it's the only common one that can single-handedly win you the game.

A rebuttal alone cannot win you the game

[white zodiac]

look closer

[honest dawn]

Rebate*

[ocean yoke]

these runs dont last long but are good if it happens

[white zodiac]

cav:

[ocean yoke]

I always go for pair high card and flush builds

[solemn heath]

guys what do i do 💔

[ocean yoke]

i should expand out

[smoky bobcat]

planet levels ?

[solemn heath]

straights is always a fun build

[white zodiac]

wdym don’t last long? the game ends at a8

[gloomy swallow]

oh that's some pretty good obelisk scalin- what the fuck is that hand distribution

[ocean yoke]

ik but not long game

i still enjoy it

i did a run with 3 blckboards

[uncut slate]

#neverendless

[wintry ice]

endless doesm't matter too much

[ocean yoke]

fun

[honest dawn]

The tribe is a Joker mess, they need to rework him

[kindred shuttle]

i find endless frustrating

[white zodiac]

started at ante 3 btw lol

yes this was intentional

[smoky bobcat]

then yeah sell the throwback depending on how high it is

[honest dawn]

A x2 for a five-card hand (and only for that hand and its improvements) is very bad

[gloomy swallow]

If your throwback is high enough already, dont sell anything

[honest dawn]

The same applies to any xmulti.

[solemn heath]

i think all the hand xmult cards need to be reworked

[wintry ice]

you need a lot of material to win with chad as your main scoring

[uncut slate]

i am endful

[ocean yoke]

i find it fun until ante 12 that is when the options stop closing

[gloomy swallow]

also copy photograph instead of photochad

[white zodiac]

could've done 6 hands but I like obby licks too much

[ocean yoke]

W gold stake enjoyer

[uncut slate]

duo/trio are fine

[ocean yoke]

im just tryna work trhough my decks rn

[solemn heath]

throwback is at 2.75 yeah

[gloomy swallow]

4x4 is greater than 2x6

[solemn heath]

okay

[honest dawn]

Duo it's good

[solemn heath]

thanks guysss

[honest dawn]

trio too

[kindred shuttle]

Yeah exactly, feels like it just becomes a totally different game after that

[wintry ice]

a rework is only needed when a concept is unsaveable

[honest dawn]

The straight one is very good

[ocean yoke]

just baron mime or whatever works

[honest dawn]

And the poker one is good.

[solemn heath]

less good for this run, duo is fine though

[honest dawn]

Va,4oak

[ocean yoke]

the options arent big for an endless run

far endless

[honest dawn]

The only bad thing in my opinion is the tribe.

[ocean yoke]

like ante 20+

even 12+

[wintry ice]

family also isn't much different from trio

3x is enough for a hand that scales that fast

[terse vale]

could help a bit
I was struggling a tiny bit on the manacle

[odd current]

What do I get rid of for blueprint?

[kindred shuttle]

Exactly, it feels like you get shoe horned into a select few builds

[wintry ice]

if necessary

[smoky bobcat]

the one single run i got an order working it was really fun but that was about it

[smoky bobcat]

astronomer ?

[ocean yoke]

this is why i do stupid builds and see how far it can go into endless

usually ante 10

but ante 1 - 8 is the tue innovation

[odd current]

I have neg constellation though so it has good synergy

[smoky bobcat]

yeah but blueprint has more synergy

[wintry ice]

constellation barely does anything with baron mime

[ocean yoke]

also you arent supposed to know everything by game design but since we have so many resoucres to study and have everything so everything is so optimal

[wintry ice]

what you should be doing is deckfix and build economy

[smoky bobcat]

youre comparing a 5.2x mult to a 125x mult with the retriggers

[odd current]

True

[ocean yoke]

man they need to fix wild cards and these kinda jokers

[smoky bobcat]

i deadass think if lovers worked on 3 cards instead of 1, like the other suit tarots, it could be way more viable

[wintry ice]

i'm still more than fine with the idea of flower pot only needing 3 unique suits

[smoky bobcat]

atleast in the early game

[wintry ice]

flushes don't scale fast enough to incentivise building into them

[ocean yoke]

yea i feel like the game just dosent want wild card builds because of the 4 boss blinds i just wish they could do smt about that

[wintry ice]

that's one of the many issues

[smoky bobcat]

but flush 5, or flush houses do

[wintry ice]

flush house is an option if you're already running flushes

but 4oak is good enough

the difference in scaling is overkill

[stark karma]

the most bizarre run I have ever done

[wintry ice]

did you just fullskip after getting ankh

[stark karma]

yup

[ocean yoke]

what?

[wintry ice]

insane

[ocean yoke]

ah

[stark karma]

x5 on each madness

[terse vale]

hmmmmmm ok ok

[stark karma]

my vouchers

[honest dawn]

XD

[ocean yoke]

dont you come back no more no more no more

[white zodiac]

wild cards being susceptible to boss blinds and flower pot bug is not something 3 wild cards would help for without opening new problems

[stark karma]

got an early level 7 full house from a skip

I dont even need stencil to win I think

[smoky bobcat]

if you mega spectral first, you WILL get ankh and hex in it btw

[terse vale]

suddenly there’s a change of plans

[smoky bobcat]

game guarentees it if you are lucky enough

told you

[terse vale]

also u were right

ya

yorick

and I have boss reroll

ggs I guess

[ocean yoke]

take ankh i think that would help the build

[smoky bobcat]

ankh the yorrick fuck it

[rugged bloom]

playing my first game of balatro today

i have huge hopes

[ocean yoke]

oh?

[white zodiac]

only to not use it

[terse vale]

bro OUT

WHO PUT THIS PHOTOCHAD ON MY SCREEN

[white zodiac]

oop

[smoky bobcat]

yeah ive actually memorized every order on every seed so i knew what was in that pack of theirs

ggez

[ocean yoke]

idk man smt tells me your run has pivoted

could just be me

[smoky bobcat]

ante 7 so the temp chad would stay alive with a single skip

could be nice

[white zodiac]

he doesn’t take it if you know where his scoring source comes from

[terse vale]

yeah its vessel i’m gonna have to reroll that

if its heart then this game hates me

[ocean yoke]

yea ik i was being sarcastic

[white zodiac]

[smoky bobcat]

lv50 high card

[terse vale]

its acorn ❤️

actually I probably could have won with vessel

I scored 340,000 in one hand with a 4x htr

[smoky bobcat]

hey i think im getting a sense of deja vu

[terse vale]

oh yeah I could have smoked vessel

6x htr

maybe its not so mid after all

[dark cairn]

wee joker is perfectly balancedf

[pale wolf]

now thats an average wee

[dark cairn]

still way higher than any other scaling chips joker gonna get to

[woven spire]

looking at the game textures i saw this, what is this stake lmao

[heavy heron]

i don’t know but it looks awesome

[smoky bobcat]

balatro stake

[heavy heron]

ultimate stake

[smoky bobcat]

you gotta fight mr joker himself

[heavy heron]

rainbow stake

all stake difficulties are 2x

blue stake -2 discards

eternals, perishables and rentals appear 2x often

[last bolt]

The Plant Is AWFUL (Worse Than Epstein)

[heavy heron]

small and big blind give no money

[last bolt]

since when

[heavy heron]

scroll up

[last bolt]

oh

[heavy heron]

purple stake plasma numbers starting ante 2

LOOLLL

nah that’s crazy

2k ante 2 small blind

[stark karma]

crazy take wee isnt that great on plasma

actually I might be wrong lol

[flint vine]

Quite pleased with this

+chips on plasma deck is great fun

[woven spire]

this is the "enchancements" folder lol

"a lil bit of this a lil bit of that"

[buoyant ridge]

what should i do here ? take burglar or ramen ? have lvl 20 high card but only 2 steel kings

[rugged bloom]

i just had a seed without a single buffoon pack

[woven spire]

whats splash doing for you

[heavy heron]

maybe you don’t need splash

[rugged bloom]

except for one which i skipped for a hieroglyph

No other buffoon packs

[floral mural]

the fuck is that next to anaglyph deck

[heavy heron]

maybe splash arrowhead

[dark cairn]

thats the zodiac deck

[woven spire]

Idk but i have seen it in yt vids

[floral mural]

not zodiac deck obviously

[heavy heron]

but honestly what’s ramen going to do?

it’s like

20 mult AND YOURE ON PLASMA

[marsh dove]

ive spent like 10k over 6 antes looking for a baron 😭

[last bolt]

checkered

[marsh dove]

no baron yet

mime can only carry this so far

[heavy heron]

it’s never ramen

no chance

[floral mural]

directly to the left of anaglyph

[woven spire]

idk to be fair

[floral mural]

that one looks wild its probably one of the removed stat based decks or something

[marsh dove]

its ante 14 and ive been mimeing for 10 antes ready for baron the whole time

and no invisible jokers to make more copy jokers + no baron

wtf

[floral mural]

where its "get your most used joker" and shit like that from the very early days of balatro

[marsh dove]

glad that was removed 💀

[gusty magnet]

i hate this game

lost to a fucking bug

i left my game like his

[woven spire]

bug?

[gusty magnet]

i saved to main menu

like 6 hours ago

just came back

and dna

[white zodiac]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[gusty magnet]

jsu

just

didnt work

[crude nest]

Is this good?

[buoyant ridge]

i f,ked myself up

[marsh dove]

forced to pivot to steel aces bc of plant and no luchador

lmao

[dreamy creek]

balala

[minor gust]

What skin is that???

[woven spire]

mod

[minor gust]

Lame

[marsh dove]

after >10k over 6 antes in rerolls

🙏 the game provides

[stark karma]

wait seriously?

[buoyant ridge]

what am i kissing on plasma ?

[stark karma]

I thought it just didnt do the shake

does it just break?

[white zodiac]

my lips

[shell dagger]

you’re doing xmult and chips at the same time

[buoyant ridge]

maybe i slept on arrowhead and splash too much

[shell dagger]

your castle is extremely low for presumably being an early pickup

[buoyant ridge]

which i sold

[white zodiac]

[stark karma]

do first hand/ discard jokers break when exiting the game? seriously?

[buoyant ridge]

when is burglar good ?

[shell dagger]

nearly always

[last bolt]

i was boutta ask why the blind was 800k but saw plasma deck

[stark karma]

only in naneinf

trust

[shell dagger]

extra hands are really good on plasma especially imo

[buoyant ridge]

i lost but my high card build was not bad

[dreamy creek]

best synergizes with mail in rebate

[civic sierra]

TIL seeing double doesn't count stone cards

[stark karma]

obviously

[shell dagger]

it’s extra score regardless of your scoring source

[stark karma]

its suitless

[dreamy creek]

stones don't have a suit

[civic sierra]

i thought I could cheese it lmao

[stark karma]

what's the most illogical mechanic in the game (besides matador)

[floral mural]

burglar in general is quite strong as youre trading 2 discards for 3 hands

[dreamy creek]

yall are gonna start telling me about some black board not working with stone cards next

[floral mural]

burglar castle is a massice anti synergy tho

[civic sierra]

calm down y'all, i just never use seeing double

[floral mural]

and when castle is your chips you wanna keep scaling it

[lavish ridge]

Unpopular opinion: castle isnt very good

[rugged bloom]

wtf lmfao

that's two consecutive runs without a single buffoon pack seen

[marsh dove]

almost maxed temp without legendaries, gift card, egg or ecto lmao

[rugged bloom]

all my jokers are from in the wild

lmfao what is going on

is this normal?

[floral mural]

ante 1 round 1 shop included?

[civic sierra]

does seeing doubles work if the club is debuffed

[floral mural]

since that pack is gurranyeed every time

[rugged bloom]

only that one

else no

[floral mural]

then its just bad luck

[civic sierra]

cause uh oh

[rugged bloom]

2 consecutive runs

i'm about to even win this one lol

[civic sierra]

PRAISE BE

[rugged bloom]

hey so it's normal to win using pairs then pivot to high card after winning right

[floral mural]

unfortunately that is explained by just not rolling the packs

[bleak hemlock]

gay and balack

[rugged bloom]

huh

[stark karma]

buying rentals into arcana packs might be the craziest tech I've ever seen doc do

[civic sierra]

pivoting to high card only happens if you leveled it up alongside pairs

unless you have some flat mult

[gusty magnet]

yeah??

[gusty magnet]

custom

also another bug

tgat just happened

wtf

wheres my turtle bean value

what is this

i discared

nothing happened

[stark karma]

mods dude

[gusty magnet]

it jjust stayed at 8

[stark karma]

ur mods are fucking the game I think

idk

[gusty magnet]

probably ngl

[civic sierra]

should be fine then yeah

[pine drum]

Dont you hate it when you got a perfect starting deck on an Erratic run and you suddenly lose because your brain clicks play hand instead of discard

[floral mural]

i dont restart for perfect starting decks on erratic

ngl

[rough prairie]

Hm, I think I'll bite the bullet and try to finish all stakes on black deck

[humble gulch]

I turned off my brain for this run

[dire barn]

NEW BEST

only lost because of unlucky hook discards

[uncut slate]

classic gold stake stuff love to see it

[quick flare]

second gold stake deck done, which was totally not carried by chad

[dim karma]

hey furry

[quick flare]

hello there

[pale wolf]

beep

[dim karma]

what type of furry are you

[neat ore]

Is anyone a green joker hipster here

[buoyant ridge]

and im missing chips again

[dim karma]

nah i don't do weed

sorry bro

wrong server

[neat ore]

Those are hippies not hipsters

Never heard of a hipster that does weed

[dim karma]

wowwww racism

okayy broo

im banning you

[neat ore]

Huh

[quick flare]

elaborate on 'type' ?

[dim karma]

idfk

what are you

[ebon jolt]

balatro

[quick flare]

a protogen

[neat ore]

It's a game

[ebon jolt]

ye

me gusta

[quick flare]

so half fur half robot

but anyway

[deft panther]

As a person who does weed I'm not a hippie I'm just a loser

[dim karma]

are you into half droids

[deft panther]

Please don't associate me with hippies

[dim karma]

yeah you get it

how it be fr

[quick flare]

protogens just.. are cool, thats about it

[neat ore]

I'm not saying all people that do weed are hippies just a bunch of hippies do it

[dim karma]

is it true that every furry goons

or nah

[heady narwhal]

looks like you could probably have more on the runner? i guess it's harder to underscore on plasma

[deft panther]

The ones that don't are the vast minority

[quick flare]

was about to say exactly this

[buoyant ridge]

i just cant get straights consistent

[heady narwhal]

vagabond not helping?

[shell dagger]

180 is remarkably low

[quick flare]

its rather annoying when such a small group just paints the entire fandom as bad

[shell dagger]

i get that in green joker runs

[dim karma]

ik why not turn 360° if you're gonna turn 180°

[deft panther]

You must have misread what I said

[dim karma]

it's fuckin stupid bro

[heady narwhal]

plasma makes it hard to scale imo

[dim karma]

i didn't know you were a rapper

[heady narwhal]

like i tried to run castle once and i just kept winning in one hand

[dim karma]

misread what i said

shot my opp shot him dead

[shell dagger]

i think my plasma deck runner average in the c++ file was over 300

had at least one 500+ run

[dim karma]

cool

[heady narwhal]

i wish the game recorded stats for best/average value on scaling jokers

[deft panther]

Caps poppin droppin opps but the rhymes don't stop

[dim karma]

his bitch callin so i gave her the top

i fucked that bitch till she drop

[deft panther]

Hey man we respect women in these bars

[shell dagger]

chatters what deck should i streak next, i just did blue

im thinking abandoned or zodiac

[deft panther]

Green

[quick flare]

I am blind at late hours of the day once again, but you've got it upside down.. and if your experience interacting with furries is this so far, then all I can really give is a sincere apology from the rest of us

[shell dagger]

im gonna ignore whoever said green…

[dim karma]

yeah put it all on red

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[dim karma]

whattttt

[serene forge]

zodiac

[deft panther]

The only way I can imagine that what you say being true is if you take someone liking anthro animal characters at all and extrapolating that to them being a furry.

[shell dagger]

i need to throw a run to properly reset my streak tho

since my last run died to the ante 8 boss

and that doesn’t reset the streak counter

[buoyant ridge]

okay i think its over XD

[deft panther]

Bruh

This is mean

You're bullying me

[shell dagger]

no hard feelings or targeted behaviour

i just don’t like green deck xp

[deft panther]

This guy has hard feelings for me and is targeting me with his behavior

[dim karma]

use red deck

[deft panther]

Red Deck is boring

[dim karma]

best deck ever

[deft panther]

Magic Deck final option

[dim karma]

maybe you're the boring one

ever thought about that

[deft panther]

I've never bored in my life I don't even have a borer

[vague sequoia]

It is not

[dim karma]

never being bored is boring cause then being bored wouldn't be boribg

paradox?

[deft panther]

I don't believe in paradoxes

[quick flare]

the fandom is in fact just built around the common interest in anthro animals. so yeah, you would be correct. you can like anthros without being a furry too, thats all good, but thats the common theme across the fandom anyway. you can think of the fandom like a comic con, where the common interest is characters from cartoons and comics and some cosplay as those characters. but now replace the comics with an anthro character you made yourself, and thats about it. a big portion of it is also found online, though

[dim karma]

i ain't reading allat

[quick flare]

enough yapping about this and back to balatro?

[terse vale]

still got a good few years in me

[dim karma]

im sorry it happened tho

or congrats

[quick flare]

real

[buoyant ridge]

okay what now ?

[dim karma]

67?

ayyyy 67

⚖️

[latent egret]

you got 5 hands

[dim karma]

nobody got five hands

stfu

lyin ass

i only got 2

[latent egret]

so you need 700 chips per hand

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[unreal iron]

violent vessel

[dim karma]

ohhh that's the exchange rate?

[unreal iron]

cinema

[dim karma]

which casino chip tho

[latent egret]

he got 5 hände

[dim karma]

ohhhh wie geht ist du

du bist shieldkroter

[buoyant ridge]

violet vessel is impossible with only chips

[latent egret]

if you play only pairs of spade you sjould be good

[latent egret]

you can do it

with the large runner

[stark karma]

can anyone guess the theme of this build lol

[quick flare]

"random bs go"

[stark karma]

maybe its too stupid lol

[buoyant ridge]

maybe like this ?

[latent egret]

you could have won without debug mode

you had enough chips on runner

[quick flare]

-# there's a debug mode??

[buoyant ridge]

nah it was impossible

[deft panther]

Decide the first move

Orange stake green deck

[nova junco]

"how are you today?"
me:

[quick flare]

credit card in buffoon pack

[latent egret]

very possible

[unreal iron]

dawg 😭

[deft panther]

Number #1
As in Number Number 1

[deft panther]

I'll trust you

You've ruined everything

[tame coral]

imma about to win. guess how?

[quick flare]

the other pack!

[deft panther]

It's too late

[buoyant ridge]

only 200k chips per hand, still insufficient

[wintry ice]

uh

[buoyant ridge]

and now i forgot i had the boss reroll voucher the whole time 😭

[solid garden]

rare sight of loyalty card being useful for fucking once

got that shit and troubadour goldened

16 to go

[dim karma]

stfu

[tame coral]

lvl16 flush coasting

[heady narwhal]

loyalty card is good actually

that's an overstatement but i could probably name like 15 jokers that are worse

[solid garden]

ok I'll change the topic while the pitchforks aren't here yet

why 9 out of 16 left are uncommons

sob

[stark karma]

ya'll wanna see something I just made

[deft panther]

Do I wee here

[stark karma]

sure lol

ah well

on green deck you do want to be discarding and playing less hands so

not sure

[solid garden]

ye :3

[stark karma]

you're gonna be getting more chips from all the planets you get no?

[deft panther]

If I could god damn get the planets yeah

[stark karma]

I made something for the people who got all the achievements and want something more from the vanilla game

or just the peeps who play to have fun

[solid garden]

wee and flash in academic are a bit confusing but otherwise pretty solid!

[shell dagger]

very tempting cert but castle is more than half my score rn

[shell dagger]

flash cards

and wee joker is of school age

he’s just a little guy

[solid garden]

ah

im stupid

[stark karma]

I've alreadyy knocked out cosmos build sans the space joker lol

couldnt find him

some of these builds are good and some are terrible

[solid garden]

is canio-pareidolia build worth a theme?

[stark karma]

its not really themed

just kind of a decent build

I dont care about midasvamp or photochad

[deft panther]

I LOVE BLUE STAKE AAAAAAH

[stark karma]

these are 16 thematic builds which range from okay to terrible lol

[solid garden]

as one should tbh

[wheat haven]

yo im gonna be rich

[solid garden]

one whole dollar!!!!

[wheat haven]

I used the wheel

[dim karma]

who wanna lowkey esex and play balatro

[pearl ferry]

Just did a run in balatro and

[dim karma]

who wanna be my queen of hearts 🥰

[pearl ferry]

Honestly didnt expect to get another throwback i had 2 4.5x mult jokers now

[dim karma]

nobody gives a fuck

well i guess i can give a pretty good fuck

hmu

[pearl ferry]

Damn rude

[ocean yoke]

What even is balatro

[shell dagger]

Evil checkered deck
