[lunar hawk]

but eternal

[inland helm]

omg

[molten thicket]

do not

[inland helm]

i mean

you could

[molten thicket]

b-but the double dice dream

[lunar hawk]

it would be a funny cat with an unfunny chad build

[inland helm]

and then use your first few hands mega-copying the chad, then final hand copy the cats

[lunar hawk]

the dream we all chase

[lunar hawk]

actually i'm thinking rn, i cannot do that with dusk if i find it

[inland helm]

true

and you could with seltzer but itd run out rly fast

[molten thicket]

therefore use seltzer

[inland helm]

so maybe chad is the play,,,,,,,,,

[lunar hawk]

then chad or i reroll for the majestic dice/seltzer

i'm ante 12 btw

[molten thicket]

uhhh

[inland helm]

hows your score

like do you have a big gap

[lunar hawk]

e11, almost e12

[molten thicket]

have you used any ectos

prob yes

[lunar hawk]

2 actually...

[inland helm]

glup

[molten thicket]

gulp

[inland helm]

sounds like the run will end soonish anyways, id say grab the chad and burn through hands scaling the cat

[lunar hawk]

a 5 hand size is rigoriously possible

[lunar hawk]

okk then i will

no dice...

😞

[inland helm]

i mean youve already won so it doesnt really matter, either way you'd probably only last another ante or so

unfortunately linear scaling only takes you so far

but cat is fun so

[buoyant ridge]

was wee a bad idea with 2 stuntmans ?

[molten thicket]

do you have blank btw

[molten thicket]

true plasma deck gaming

[inland helm]

oops all chips

[lunar hawk]

yeahhh

[lunar hawk]

winziger is a funny name lol

[lunar hawk]

like a boss

[buoyant ridge]

i think yes because i lost due to the missing value of wee because of 2 stuntmans

[slate lance]

Just got my first ever makeup

Peak

Yes ik this is game discussion no i do not gaf

[molten thicket]

it doesnt matter that much though

[willow plaza]

if i claim the -1 ante -1 hand voucher does it mean i have to play 1 more ante to win?

[lunar hawk]

they are all going through my shop without being able to do a thing...

[inland helm]

unfortunate

[woven spire]

no and yes, the points you need to score are the same

[molten thicket]

yes

[willow plaza]

oh ok

[woven spire]

it’s just more time to scale or deckfix

[lunar hawk]

uhm guys i tried to buy an ankh with no joker slot available and now he is hanging on my screen

[inland helm]

what

[willow plaza]

i beat my first red stake!!!!

[inland helm]

hell yeah

[woven spire]

now try black deck gold stake!!

[inland helm]

[woven spire]

im joking, please don’t.

[willow plaza]

i dont even have gold stake yet

but a gold steak sounds delicious

[inland helm]

mmm yummor

[woven spire]

lowk the best deck for getting used to the stakes is chekered, when you unlock it check it out

[inland helm]

"check" it out they says

[molten thicket]

ba dum tss

[willow plaza]

i actually have all decks up to the one where you unlock it by beating a red stake deck

[woven spire]

lmao

[willow plaza]

i feel like checkered will be easier for deck shaping

[woven spire]

it is

that and zodiac

[molten thicket]

i like ghost

[willow plaza]

okay well that "checks" out

[molten thicket]

my first gstake was ghost

[woven spire]

lol

[molten thicket]

ghost is fun

[woven spire]

mine was chekered just like a week ago

[potent tree]

i am so dumb...i just started another blue deck gold stake run

i wanted to start yellow deck

[jade arch]

I can't do it. But I have to. All for the gold sticker

[woven spire]

button named main menu:

[plain salmon]

ARE WE SERIOUS RN!!!!!

[potent tree]

and start a new run to lose my winstreak? hell nah

[woven spire]

fair

[plain salmon]

i lost by two points cause i had green joker and had to discard to find my hand

[violet bear]

Walled

[plain salmon]

ive been walled

[violet bear]

Greenbo giveth, greenbo taketh

[plain salmon]

grimbo is slowly making its way up the ranks

[violet bear]

Healing from the photochad allegations

[icy fable]

Heh

[plain salmon]

sometimes there isnt a choice but to take the path to villainy

[icy fable]

Sometimes we play

Sometimes we balala

But it in the end it doesnt Even Matter

[woven spire]

its always photochad

[plain salmon]

you can never escape the chad

[icy fable]

Chad is a really good joker

[woven spire]

used to be trash lol

[lunar hawk]

to my glorious lads that have followed my run since the rising cat kingdom

[icy fable]

Eh.
I would call it meh

But now trash

[plain salmon]

i think the fact that photo and chad are so good together and also both commons is a big reason theyre both up there

[icy fable]

Make photo uncommon

[jade arch]

Mkay, do you guys think this should be enough?

[woven spire]

one more retrigger is kinda trash for a whole joker slot

[plain salmon]

photo should be x2.5 and rare

[woven spire]

thats incredibly op

[icy fable]

It should stay as it is
But whit uncommon

Soo You dont kill the combo
But make it harder to obtain

[woven spire]

then make riff raff useless lol

[jade arch]

yeah it was enough

[icy fable]

Riff raff is not only for photochad

Are ya crazy

[plain salmon]

i mainly use riffraff to try to get rabait

rebait

[woven spire]

most of the time tho

[jade arch]

riffraff for campfire though

[icy fable]

Rebate
Grimbo
Supernova

[icy fable]

Campfire

[plain salmon]

SUPERNOVA

[icy fable]

Rtb

[woven spire]

never thought abt that, good point

[icy fable]

Theres a Lot of decent commons

[plain salmon]

also riffraff for dagger if for some reason you want to do a dagger run

[violet bear]

Any other common econ joker is also a decent roll

Dagger is uncommon

[icy fable]

Golden

Delayed

[woven spire]

dagger is too much to take care of for me

[plain salmon]

to feed dagger

[icy fable]

Park

[buoyant ridge]

can anyone try this seed ? seems easy at plasma at first with only chips but gets very hard because of the needle

[violet bear]

Oh no you meant as a way to feed

Talking about feed

[quaint blade]

Scholar is fun to build around

[icy fable]

True hypernova

[violet bear]

Faceless too

[icy fable]

True

[quaint blade]

Facts Big Bang

[icy fable]

Square Joker also

[violet bear]

Also it can spawn the discard and handsize jonklers to buff rebate and/or improve drawing gold cards

[icy fable]

Runner

[icy fable]

And more

[plain salmon]

im a big fan of ante 1 supernova on ghost deck and doing three of a kinds

[pale wolf]

oh forgot to upscale

dang

[violet bear]

Riffraff is just good

[woven spire]

what

[violet bear]

Even 2 not great jokers is still 3-4 dollars

[icy fable]

Riff raff as a first shop is a goated start

[plain salmon]

i do think that campfire is my least favourite joker, either that or drunkard

[icy fable]

mine is Bloodstone

[violet bear]

What about the freaky eternal riffraff ante 1

Would you

[jade arch]

Okay, I'm 76% of the way to get completionist ++

[quaint blade]

Dagger + Riff-Raff

[quaint blade]

Perfect for early round

[icy fable]

Riff raff
Gold stamps
Here we go

[plain salmon]

"lebron is my least favourite basketball player"

[icy fable]

Bloodstone is like the Darwin Nuñez of balatro

[unreal island]

nah lebron would be obelisk

[icy fable]

The lebron of balatro is yorick

[plain salmon]

why on EARTH would lebron be obelisk

[woven spire]

same, but bloodstone oops might be one of my fav combos, add a lucky cat and some lucky cards

[plain salmon]

i swear rebate would be lebron

[icy fable]

Rebate Will see a nerf soon

[plain salmon]

itll still be goated

[wheat haven]

I broke my blue seal glass king 😭

[plain salmon]

even if it was 1 dollar for each discarded card

[quaint blade]

Hiker is the Mo Salah of Jokers

[icy fable]

What if rough gem
Gave an extra max 5 interest
Too

[pale wolf]

testing deck sprites for idea i have

[plain salmon]

hiker is the benzema of jokers

[pale wolf]

i think #2 is the way

[woven spire]

idk what im looking at

[violet bear]

oh the rainbow gray one looks great

[quaint blade]

Most reliable

[plain salmon]

incredibly reliable, but not gonna stick around for long

balatro but you can only buy one thing from the shop the entire run, whats the game plan?

probably buy a riffraff no?

or a cartomancer

[quaint blade]

I saw a speedrun that uses only Bull

[uncut matrix]

that’s rly all you need

[plain salmon]

tbf i beat gold stake with only a madness but obviously i was buying planets and tarots

[vague sequoia]

Fuck this game

[quaint blade]

Stacking Madness is a balance act

[vague sequoia]

Threw a perkeo trib run

[quaint blade]

But so satisfying

[quaint blade]

Unlucky..

[plain salmon]

i havent had a legendary in so long

definitely over 50 runs

[vague sequoia]

I don’t like the game anyways

[pale wolf]

yea riff raff

[vague sequoia]

(Goes back to playing it)

[plain salmon]

love me some hand size

[safe flower]

Hologram carries the run once again

[magic tree]

What a flop!

[potent tree]

why can't i have runs like these for gold stake...

[woven spire]

blank just doing nothing

[wheat haven]

I wish i didnt take trio

[plain salmon]

photo is better than banana

[wheat haven]

Yeah youre right, i like cav though it makes me feel safe

[woven spire]

kinda embarasing...

[woven spire]

until it goes extinct

[pale wolf]

swash that high is pretty embarrassing

[wheat haven]

it has happened once and it was very sad

[plain salmon]

theres an infinite amount of universes where that cavendish goes exstinct next round

[woven spire]

i use it for first 3 antes shhhhh

[wheat haven]

That just makes me sadge

[woven spire]

i would be happy lol

[plain salmon]

to be fair theres also an infinite number of universes where cavendish is a legendary that gives x5billion

[wheat haven]

I'll be happy when i get a negative skip

[woven spire]

whole purpose of anaglyph

[magic tree]

67 Joker: if you have a scoring 6 and 7, gains +67 Mult

[potent tree]

why did i decide to deckfix here

[stark karma]

yeah I mean that would do it

[woven spire]

why aces.

[stark karma]

red card was pretty useless this run

[brisk crown]

First Buffoon Pack blueprint (Black Deck, Gold Stake)

[proper turtle]

a fun run with wee and this is red deck gold stake just about beaten

[woven spire]

where could wee be.

[wheat haven]

Show us how big your wee is

[proper turtle]

I wonder

[magic tree]

Wee !!

[stark karma]

mine was like 1200 if anybody is asking

[slate lance]

Isnt parking for photo pretty good there tho

[wheat haven]

nice

[woven spire]

Average wee

[magic tree]

Not so Wee

[wheat haven]

i sold banana, the parking is making me like $30 a round

[stark karma]

should I take eternal mime for potential blue seals here?

[slate lance]

Do u even need econ if ur that stacked on scoring...

Like i feel like at that point its just brainless

[wheat haven]

If I pick up 5 rental negatives then yeah haha

[tame sluice]

bread👍

[slate lance]

Who cares abt negative money if u already make like 1 mil or more a hand

[wheat haven]

true, there arent many thought in my head ngl, I just click button

[slate lance]

Being called brain is kinda ironic then 😭

[fallow fog]

ive a question

whats wrong w painted deck

[fallow fog]

idl plasma

painted is fine

i love black deck

🙃

[slate lance]

Nih uh

Ghost deck better

[fallow fog]

thats valid

i think abandoned is best tho

the lack of cards is amazing

[wheat haven]

its looking like no negative skip 🙁

[queen dock]

Pretty strange run but now I'll never have to play nebula deck again

[heavy heron]

📫 📧 💰

[potent tree]

i think that's enough aces of spades. run's lost anyway

[heavy heron]

i think you have a lot of aces

what ante is it

[wheat haven]

man there is no negative skip all game, so sad

[potent tree]

11

i ditched my dna start of ante 9

[wheat haven]

Oh well, gold sticker on séance isnt bad

Ante 9 has a negative skip of course 😭

[stark karma]

does he know?

[potent tree]

dagger would have been better here than madness honestly...

[tame sluice]

Well well well

[dreamy creek]

[woven spire]

can i get souls in arcana skips?

[potent tree]

yes

[charred plover]

completionist+ !!! (somehow the achievement didnt unlock for some reason)

[woven spire]

anaglyph boutta go wild

[potent tree]

do a victory lap

[charred plover]

do i need to unlock completionist first for it to unlock lol

[potent tree]

win any run

[tame sluice]

U have to win one more after doing the completionist+ req

[potent tree]

and you will get the achievement

[charred plover]

ahh i see

thanks!

[wheat haven]

yeah go play a white stake and enjoy the low stakes

[tame sluice]

😂

[dreamy creek]

abandoned being the last deck is pretty wild

[stark karma]

the shopping spree was succesful

maybe a blueprint would be better hmmm

[charred plover]

i also did c+ before completionist lol

got 1 more voucher to unlock

[dreamy creek]

real

[woven spire]

your last deck being abandoned is crazy lol

[stark karma]

is it the upgraded magic trick?

[charred plover]

yep haha

[dreamy creek]

magic trick sucks lol

[charred plover]

exactly

[stark karma]

wait maybe this eternal brainstorm is better?

hmmmmm

[dreamy creek]

take the eternal showman

[charred plover]

i guess i can do anaglyph to try and speedrun getting the voucher

[woven spire]

got card sleeves only for this little combo

[stark karma]

sweeeeeet haha

[honest dawn]

I did the bug

I'm so happy

[woven spire]

what bug is that

[calm epoch]

yippe

got chicot from soul

[honest dawn]

Bean carmesi

[honest dawn]

Good

[pale wolf]

crimson bean

[tranquil cedar]

finally beat this dumbass challenge

crazy hamburger

[pale wolf]

what challenge is that again

oh wait

Non-Perishable or type cast

but it's non-perishable

there we go

[tranquil cedar]

great defection skills

what

i meant deduction

wtf is my keyboard on

[wheat haven]

your desk

[heavy heron]

BROTHER WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW

[potent tree]

so the last legendary joker i have to unlock this savefile is...canio? damn.

oh wait no perkeo either

[heavy heron]

well uh…. i’ve been having a lot of these runs for some reason…

the slow adjustment from flush to high card

LOOLLL

[tranquil cedar]

typecast (ante 8) and non perishable only differ in the amount of joker slots

[floral mural]

weakest stm run

[tranquil cedar]

so there was deduction

[heavy heron]

that’s true, i’ve had better

good days

red seal luck 😞

i like how shoot the moon doesn’t even do anything there at that point

it’s all mime

LOOLLL

[heavy heron]

i opened 3 spectral packs, not a single deja vu

also opened almost every standard pack

only red seal was an ace

and i ain’t finding 11 strengths..

[heavy heron]

you should replace that image with bloodstone

i have this tinging feeling you’ve a personal hatred for it..

[floral mural]

me when a joker has a hint of downside to it to counteract an upside

what does reddit think of stuntman

[heavy heron]

when i first played this game for the first few months i could not for the life of me figure out how to use vagabond without dying

[inland helm]

what does reddit think of cavendish

[heavy heron]

now? not so much LOOLLL

so maybe that’s why that reddit post was made

newer player

struggling w what i struggled with

figuring out a way to survive with $4 to your name

[honest dawn]

Naneinf?

It would be my first time using one of my own seeds haha

It's noticeable that I've improved playing gold stakes in terms of decision-making.

[uncut slate]

$4 to your name during the round

[charred plover]

photochad in a pack

[uncut slate]

which is the interesting part about the vagabond

[honest dawn]

Simply choose Chad, Trivoulet does the rest

[uncut slate]

my friends all call him the broker so i have to correct myself from saying that

[heavy heron]

true

temperance awaiting 😍

[charred plover]

turns out c+ also triggers when you get another achievement lol

oh nvm

thats not c+

im blind

[north spindle]

i understand how ppl could think vagabond is bad
if you're not playing most of your hands its rough

[charred plover]

chill

[heady narwhal]

there are benefits to pairs other than consistency. for one thing, you can dig for value generation more easily and you can hold more gold cards in hand

[shell dagger]

?

[wheat haven]

Someone is angy 😠

[bronze linden]

ok they just suck

thats fun

[uncut slate]

report the message too

for hate based on identity

[smoky merlin]

good heavens

[safe flower]

Wew

[smoky merlin]

we're not going to abide that sort of chatter

[heady narwhal]

thanks

[craggy hearth]

Aww man I missed it

[safe flower]

Weirdly aggressive about a flag

[wheat haven]

He really don't like flags

[safe flower]

Theres no fixing some people

[craggy hearth]

Which flag

[tacit stream]

lol I think I saw "that person is typing" while the banhammer gets swung at them.

[craggy hearth]

🇿🇲

[north spindle]

i think its ace/aro flag?

[craggy hearth]

What is that?

[tacit stream]

i think they mean the flag used as the background in jmibo's avatar.

[craggy hearth]

ohh shoot I lowkey thought they were talking about a national flag 😭

[wheat haven]

im sure I saw them being really weird in the chat yesterday too

[north spindle]

i assume that too
it did take me a second to realize what they were talking abt tho i thought they were just overly agressive abt pairs for a second lol

[heady narwhal]

iirc i ignored them because they just replied "stfu" to a random message on the first day they joined the server

[craggy hearth]

Yeah I mean there’s bound to be weird/rude people everywhere

That’s what we’re for 🗣️🔥

[charred plover]

there it is

[wheat haven]

Congrats man

[fading dome]

Probably too late but this is documented here https://balatrowiki.org/w/The_Shop#Edition_cost. What page(s) were you expecting to find it on?

[north spindle]

out of curiosity what was ur last deck?

[charred plover]

abandoned lol

[solid garden]

oh, it's not late at all! that's exactly what I needed, thanks!

[north spindle]

abandoned is fun

[solid garden]

i was looking at the card modifiers page btw

[charred plover]

welp i just accidentally pressed new run on a triboulet, sock and brainstorm run

got too excited

[polar cargo]

if matador bad why $44

[fading dome]

Yeah that makes sense, thanks. I might add a link to the shop's pricing section somewhere on the card modifier page 🤔

[wheat haven]

If my glass breaks im gonna be mad

the red seal glass survived

[solid garden]

would be a great addition, thanks once again!

[wheat haven]

I get 8 new gold stickers if I ccan finish off this run 😄

[obsidian patrol]

i love easy runs

[void topaz]

BOOTS

first time boots has cooked everyone applaud

[ripe oriole]

Just lost an ante20 run due to around +30 sixth sense not giving ecto until it was too late to score when I got it. Guess how many tries it took this time ?

[void topaz]

like 6 orrr

[dark otter]

67 67

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[ripe oriole]

O N E

[uncut slate]

chudstone

nothing ever happens

[ripe oriole]

Yeah at this point the game is just tryna ragebait me I'm afraid

[obsidian patrol]

Why do you need ecto here

[void topaz]

cmon brah

lock in

[ripe oriole]

Naneinf

[fallow fog]

question, what do you think the hardest joker to gold sticker is

[pale wolf]

bean

[obsidian patrol]

probably some food joker

[willow frost]

banana

[pale wolf]

banana gets to perish sometimes

[fallow fog]

in contention rn is the f- banana who decided to off itself on the ante 8 boss blind

[ripe oriole]

Banana without a doubt

[fallow fog]

sorry i was trying to rant but discord guidelines dont let me swear

[obsidian patrol]

no cause it gets to be perishable

[fallow fog]

couldnt meet the comedic timing

[pale wolf]

banana has many more rounds you can potentially find it for stickering

[fallow fog]

yeh i gets

but i had it on the boss bljnd

i won

but it said extinct!

[pale wolf]

happen to me twice

[fallow fog]

and

i dont have the gold sticker

[pale wolf]

i get it

[fallow fog]

two nickels

[ripe oriole]

Well jokers like gros michel could be tied with legendary for obvious reasons

[fallow fog]

true

i focused the food jokers first so im only left w stupid michel

[lyric shore]

michel being common makes it way easier than bean

[pale wolf]

bean you have to find within 4 round of the end and it can't be perishable to save it

also uncommon yea

[willow frost]

banana has a 3125/7776 chance of not dying before it perishes, which is slightly less than the chance of it dying prematurely

[fallow fog]

i think the most annoying ones are the conditional uncommons tho

[willow frost]

idk what that means in terms of the argument

[pale wolf]

yeah on average banana will die before it perishes

[quartz ember]

bye bye banan

[pale wolf]

but that doesn't mean perishing is invalidated cuz bean can't do that at all

[willow frost]

thats also true

[smoky bobcat]

i cant fucking BELIEVE i am about to take this faceless joker over the negative duo just because im trying to hunt for gold stickers

this sucks lol

[willow frost]

yeah youre onto something

[fallow fog]

its the start if the run

take the duo

[willow frost]

money

id take faceless still

[honest dawn]

I'm going to be my first naneinf

[quartz ember]

its ok tbh

[honest dawn]

And without perkeo

[fallow fog]

ok if thats the argument then fine

[honest dawn]

🥹

[willow frost]

gl!

[low falcon]

What's should I sell

[fallow fog]

id alw take the negative

[willow frost]

fair

[quartz ember]

looking good

[fallow fog]

cause verdant leaf alw comes at the wrong time

[willow frost]

free scoring is also nice

[smoky bobcat]

i have 4 jokers left i need to get gold stickered so theres a v good chance i wont get another one if i dont grab it now :( plus i can hex because funny ghost deck

[fallow fog]

mr poly over there

[pale wolf]

faceless is fine to take for this sticker because it contributes

[fallow fog]

aight

[rugged bloom]

It calls to me like Loki's Mask

[smoky bobcat]

bloodstone if you cant pull hearts consistently

[fallow fog]

its not a bad joker to have anyways

[smoky bobcat]

i already took the faceless i just hate that its over a negative rare lol

[pale wolf]

easy Seltzer drop

[fallow fog]

those kings look lovely

[smoky bobcat]

ghost deck moment

honestly hack

[fallow fog]

it do be like that sometimes

whats left for you

for me its the stupid banana

[low falcon]

So should I sell the first joker?

To photo

[pale wolf]

no, tribe

[fallow fog]

it immortal

[pale wolf]

tribe is 3x

oh

[low falcon]

Why tribe

[pale wolf]

my b

[fallow fog]

eh.

[pale wolf]

it's 3x

[low falcon]

So first one?

Comedian

[fallow fog]

nono im trippin

sell tribe

[pale wolf]

It's not Eternal what

[smoky bobcat]

get rid of hack , you arent using the 2-5s and the +10 mult is after the bloodstone/photo so it will be nothing

[pale wolf]

bro

are using the twos and fives, for Bloodstone

[fallow fog]

i saw the purple poly on the top left

and thought eternal tag

LMAO

[pale wolf]

four hack cards on Bloodstone is worth more than 3x

[fallow fog]

agreed

[low falcon]

So sell hack

[smoky bobcat]

he has 4 cards that have a 50% to proc and hes going to be duping kings anyways

[fallow fog]

you can sell the drunkard/juggler also i feel

[smoky bobcat]

because youre not gonna be going into kings and 2s with 6x poly red seal kings like that

[fallow fog]

ok and the kings are polychrome also

hack may be the best sell

[smoky bobcat]

oh its bean, faceless, stone, and greedy (diamonds one) btw

i just got cavendish like 2 games ago

[fallow fog]

pog

[smoky bobcat]

shit sucked

i just cant get stone to show up ever and i cant keep a bean alive unless i get it in ante 7/8

[fallow fog]

hope ur making a stone card first thing every match

bean actl sucks

[smoky bobcat]

im trying my hardest lol

[fallow fog]

i was lucky to get it early on black deck

[smoky bobcat]

i was just doing black deck but i wanted to do pairs ngl

[fallow fog]

i settled the popcorn and bean like first thirty golds

[smoky bobcat]

might do zodiac for the extra shop chances later

i got all the other foods all at once with a single anaglyph deck negative tag

got a nice and easy 14 gold stickers that run

[low fog]

Holy SHIT.

[fallow fog]

niceee

[pale wolf]

could be worth an uncommon skip on analglyph

[low fog]

I'm so mad bro if only i was on black deck

no nevermind i don't wanna be on black deck

[fallow fog]

wdymmm

i love black deck

[low fog]

you whaaaattt...

[fallow fog]

trying to c++ on black deck only

[low fog]

bro

[fallow fog]

wow the game heard u

you want an extra joker?

here ya go

[smoky bobcat]

easy extra 1.98x mult on that bad boy

[fallow fog]

i hate my life

[vocal rose]

oh I remember doing this

it was fun

[fallow fog]

ikr right

i haven’t even c++ normally

i js got bored doing it the normal way

[slate lance]

Idk how yall find black feck fun at all

[fallow fog]

if you hate ur life

[slate lance]

I do

Byt why would i wanna make it worse

[fallow fog]

honestly its the challenge

[slate lance]

Getting c++ normally is a challenge anyway

Well more of a time challenge

But yea

[fallow fog]

patience

[smoky bobcat]

its not a difficulty challenge its an rng and patience challenge

[pale wolf]

it is difficulty

otherwise people would not be able to streak it for 10 plus

[smoky bobcat]

fair enough

[vocal rose]

difficulty

c++ normally is boring

[low falcon]

Should I quit +1 discard joker?

[slate lance]

Its just annoying tho

[pale wolf]

trib would go nuts

sure

[low falcon]

Trib or discard

[pale wolf]

talking about the legendary

[slate lance]

Canio is gonna be in the soul

Trust

[low falcon]

Trib or discard bro

[vocal rose]

not really

[smoky bobcat]

i think no matter what you get itll probably give more than 1.5x mult from the discard joker

[vocal rose]

it’s more difficult

[slate lance]

I pick bro

[vocal rose]

but it feels more rewarding

[neat ore]

Just how good is 5 copies of fib?

[slate lance]

A bit yeah

[smoky bobcat]

it should boil down to how easily you can pull your kings first

if you need that discard to do it then youll die before you can ever use a legendary

[slate lance]

Idk honestly i dont think that way
I feel just as happy with every single deck win i get

[potent tree]

lol i just unlocked shoot the moon for free

not using checkered deck

[low falcon]

🥺 🥺 🙏 🙏

[smoky bobcat]

hey that could still be nice

with the voucher

[low falcon]

ty balatro for all

[smoky bobcat]

start stacking infinite planets for infinite 1.5x mult

[slate lance]

Foil aswell gyatt damn

[low falcon]

Sure

[slate lance]

Has anyone gotten a polychrome soul

Oh shit wait i have

[smoky bobcat]

that +50 chips could totally scale better than the 1.5x mult trust

[slate lance]

I had a polychrome yorick

[low falcon]

Should I still playing color hearts?

[slate lance]

Its an extra x mult source but when u find something better like idk showman then take it instead

[buoyant ridge]

loosing because i cant draw my red seal king , what am i doing wrong ?

[low fog]

shiii that was a good run

[low fog]

fuck this game brah

[smoky bobcat]

not sure if the lack of a single plain red seal would save you in most cases - whats your jokers atm ?

[north schooner]

Hoping to draw a single card in a 52(+?) card deck?

[buoyant ridge]

this and its always insufficiant on plasma early

[low falcon]

Bro🥺

[hasty harness]

im balatroing it

[buoyant ridge]

the wall on plasma early is always a run killer

[quaint stag]

so difficult for no reason

[buoyant ridge]

but hey, i have my cheating tool which makes runs a bit easier

[smoky bobcat]

it always works out to be more than 1.5x lol - now all youd need is a blueprint/brainstorm to put perkeo with and to copy the chad and youre golden for life :) swap out the tribe once you get it and the run is basically a guarenteed win

if youre on ghost you COULD try wraithing but thats pretty risky unless you get it in the first 2-3 so its probably not worth it if you have more than $25 already lol

[pine drum]

So far so good on this pair build. Should I sell cartomnacer or merry andy for the ice cream? Or should I skip and keep enhancing my cards each blind???

[shell dagger]

just skip

chips from burnt and foil should be enough

merry andy is value

[smoky bobcat]

probably not worth it unless youre actively abt to die ? youve got a foil so youre not gonna be missing much from it tbh

[low falcon]

How can I active perkeo 1.5 I got observatory but I don't see when it 1.5x

[shell dagger]

you have no money and bull

[fallow fog]

i almost bought rough gem on checkered deck

[smoky bobcat]

you get observatory, and a planet of the hand that you are playing (flush) in your inventory. perkeo copies that planet, and then whenever you use it it will give the 1.5x mult for each one

right now you have full houses, so it will only activate if you play a full house

[low falcon]

So I need to use the planet?

I think I'll change to poker, is easier

[pine drum]

thanks, Im ok for now. was just with a "win more" mentality but you are right. Ice cream on the long run can bring me down on later antes

[smoky bobcat]

you need a jupiter in the slot on the top right, then perkeo can copy that instead of the earth

[heavy heron]

no no so observatory gives you 1.5x for a hand played if the planet of that hand is in your inventory

so if you play a flush and have 2 jupiters in your inventory (the upper right corner), you’re going to get 1.5x and another 1.5x to your score

what perkeo does is allow you to make a billion copies of something in said inventory

so perkeo will let you have 25 negative jupiters in your inventory, allowing you to get 1.5x^25 to your score each time you play a flush

[smoky bobcat]

youll probably win more with a single chariot than the ice cream in the long run from that lol but yeah i get what you mean

[river compass]

Is this a good build?

[low falcon]

So it only actives 1.5 if I play that hand in the planet

[potent tree]

how did this work chat...

[heavy heron]

yes exactly, so if i play a high card, i need a pluto specifically in my inventory

[low falcon]

Ooh okok ty

[smoky bobcat]

also do you need the +3 discards from the andy on a pairs build ? you should be able to pull them pretty much constantly without it and the hand size could be nice for gold/steel/blue seals

[potent tree]

between trading card and sixth sense i destroyed at least half my deck

[smoky bobcat]

unless youve got a lot of purple seals or smth idk lol

[pine drum]

for now i just have it for some extra money at the end of each round

Once i get a good +Mult or xMult ill get rid of it

[smoky bobcat]

are you thinking of green deck because youre playing on erratic lol

or pulling gold cards ig nvm mb lol

[pine drum]

oh i see

wasnt paying attention lol

guess i played a lot of green and got that idea stuck on my head

[smoky bobcat]

no worries - its still a really good card it just might not be helping in the same way youre thinking atm

i wont lie ive been playing so much black deck recently i keep forgetting i only have 5 joker slots atm it happens to all of us lol

[pine drum]

been there, after i made gold on checkered, on any other deck I tried to play my brain automatically tried to go for a flush build

erratic rewired me back to normal lol

[woven spire]

does mime retrigger shoot the moon?

[smoky bobcat]

yeah im pretty sure it does

[potent tree]

yes

[smoky bobcat]

its anything in hand

[woven spire]

my run is saved then

[smoky bobcat]

same with baron, raised fist, and reserve parking

reserved parking could be a really nice econ for a bit if you need it w/ shoot the moon too because you constantly want them in your hand anyways

[low falcon]

Should I start copying poker or flush

[woven spire]

Noted

thanks

[smoky bobcat]

o7 good luck king

then obviously make ur queens steel/gold and hope for the best

[shell dagger]

Perishable trading card delivered

[woven spire]

never did a stm run

so lets see

[smoky bobcat]

stm was my first ever gold sticker :) single handedly carried the run for me up to ante 4 lol

[woven spire]

try to get 5oak consistently, for now flushes

[woven spire]

my first gold sticker was bloodstone and photochad lmao

thats the only run ive won in gold stake so far tho

[smoky bobcat]

youll get the hang of it soon enough

[low falcon]

Too hard to get that planet

[slate lance]

Whats yalls most controversial balatro take

[potent tree]

this.

[smoky bobcat]

sell/use the 4oak, and start copying flushes with the perkeo - consider each flush like an additional steel card in your hand

[potent tree]

and i'm gonna hit the discard button

[slate lance]

Wha 😭

[smoky bobcat]

im getting subtly directed to add more steel cards to my deck

[trail pier]

just won a run where my only xmult was a polychrome jimbo xd

[wintry ice]

photochad is overrated by the general community despite being very powerful

[smoky bobcat]

photochad is 10% photo and 90% chad

[heavy heron]

it is good!

[wintry ice]

you still need material to get it going

[heavy heron]

only overrated because it be doing easy numbers

[trail pier]

i agree, it's really good but you'd think it was the strongest combo in the game if you read what people say about it

[wintry ice]

so it's not exactly an instant win

[heavy heron]

planet levels and photochad… and then try to look out for plant

but they say “plant counters photochad” as if not every build has a counter

[wintry ice]

also deckfixing if you're running it with 3 or 4oak

honestly needle and water are just as problematic for photochad as plant

[trail pier]

i had run the other day where i had 4 polychrome chads and 1 photo xd

[heavy heron]

water is genuinely a run killer for 5 card handers

[heavy heron]

sounds tasty

[wintry ice]

it's funny to use photochad with shortcut atleast

[heavy heron]

i’ve been finding mime more than photo or chad i don’t even get it

look at what they be shoving in my hands

[trail pier]

thats crazy

[wintry ice]

holy shit pivot

[heavy heron]

this is like 6 runs in a row like this i’m not kidding

[potent tree]

me: buys rebate
jimbo for absolutely no reason:

[heavy heron]

no i dropped baron

sorry

3 kings

LOOLLLL

[smoky bobcat]

stone joker my beloved

[heavy heron]

ahhh you’re the only one who saw what REALLY caught my eye

[smoky bobcat]

dudes been hiding from me ever since i started trying to gold sticker

[trail pier]

nothing a few strengths cant fix :3

[shell dagger]

you did well little one

[heavy heron]

true… but it is ante 8….

[smoky bobcat]

just gain $4000 and start rerolling

flashcard value

[trail pier]

flashcard is the strongest joker in the game if you have infinite money

[heavy heron]

bootstraps

[smoky bobcat]

currently have mine at +68 mult 😎😎

[calm epoch]

bull?

[heavy heron]

wait i just realized bootstraps is kind of like flash card

[trail pier]

bull + bootstraps = +infinity chips +infinity mult youre right

[heavy heron]

$5 for 2 mult

[smoky bobcat]

yeah its just you can get reroll vouchers and stuff for flashcard

[heavy heron]

except bootstraps makes you save

[smoky bobcat]

chaos

[heavy heron]

flash card makes you spend

[calm epoch]

^

[heavy heron]

yup that’s the flash card carry

[trail pier]

i think flash card is better because youre at least rerolling so youre seeing more stuff

[calm epoch]

^

[smoky bobcat]

chaos + flashcard = photochad

ez op

[heavy heron]

chaoscard

[wintry ice]

the domestic bull:

[calm epoch]

bootstraps is only good when you already have a good loadout and the interest vouchers

[heavy heron]

bootstraps is never good*

[calm epoch]

(compared to flash card)

[trail pier]

bootstraps is okay if you have good econ but i dont take it very often

[heavy heron]

even with good econ

like

[calm epoch]

i mostly use it for early antes

[smoky bobcat]

no no no you guys are forgetting about the two polychrome to the moons i had a couple games ago

[buoyant ridge]

loosing because i cant draw a four of a kind

[heavy heron]

you need what $100 for bootstraps to have any meaningful number? and if you have $100 you can pivot out of bootstraps

[smoky bobcat]

bootstraps wouldve been op in that scenario specifically and nowhere else

[wintry ice]

it's atleast decent if you're holding money for seed money interest

[amber vigil]

Whats the highest yall have scaled constellation before ante 8

[wintry ice]

which isn't good for it

[buoyant ridge]

maybe i shouldnt add cards to my deck even blue seals

[trail pier]

bootstraps usually just feels a bit 'win more' to me and if i have the amount of money where its useful i can just roll for a good joker instead

[shell dagger]

how many kings did you have

[wintry ice]

"i'm running 4 of a kind so clearly i shouldn't use the thing that makes 4oak as strong as it is"

[buoyant ridge]

7

[shell dagger]

so you didn’t lose because you didn’t draw the 4oak

you lost because earlier you chose to play 4oak despite not being able to yet

[wintry ice]

you need a lot more than 7 of a rank to play them consistently

[trail pier]

this was the biggest lucky cat i got i think xd

[heavy heron]

you’re kitten me

get it

[trail pier]

i also got a huge wee once too

[heavy heron]

you got a big wee but i got a big deck

[pale wolf]

endless mode?

[buoyant ridge]

thats why 4 of a kind is so unreliable

im so bad at this game its a huge skill issue if i cant win with a legendary on gold stake plasma

i feel like the worst player here

[shell dagger]

Don’t be glum

[wheat haven]

Yo I played anaglyph for 7 hours yesterday and won once, imagine how I felt, and thats after I already have c++

[floral mural]

there isnt a single person who doesnt throw runs unless youre specifically doc

but even doc has throws i imagine

[pale wolf]

doc throws too

usually when timed

[dense stag]

why not both

im gonan go play balatro i havent in a little bit

[pale wolf]

i.e. multiplayer, speedrunning, marathon events

[dense stag]

im one deck closer to c+

[latent egret]

your deck is too large

this allows for a higher % of unlucky draws

[heavy heron]

you’re right

[terse vale]

would it be such a crime to pick up red card

scaling bus is not very easy right now

[floral mural]

cloud nine gaming

[smoky bobcat]

if youve got the money from cloud 9 then go for it

[potent tree]

rare 4oak w

[dense stag]

i still stand on misprint being the goat

[winged vault]

15 Minute City completed

[heavy heron]

well i wouldn't call 4oak w being rare..

4oak is a good hand 😍

i love 4 oak woods

🪵

[winged vault]

I think I probably got some of the best jokers for that challenge

[dense stag]

crazy lineup

[winged vault]

and that hallucination as well

that thing gave me so many magician tarots

[buoyant ridge]

this is giving me brain damage

[trim rover]

W

[buoyant ridge]

and loosijg again

[shell dagger]

It’s not very informative to keep posting losses

[buoyant ridge]

but im so bad at this game

[shell dagger]

You never seem to have much money at all

How are you spending it early on

[buoyant ridge]

panicking because i cant win on the next blind

[shell dagger]

You can win up to round 5 jokerless very easily

[buoyant ridge]

maybe i should save over 50 dollars

how on plasma ?

[shell dagger]

25 at the very minimum

[dense stag]

i can no longer hear the balatro main theme normally without soundgarden because of siivagunner

[shell dagger]

Plasma makes a hand that would score 300 on normal decks into 1500 points

That almost oneshots round 4

A full house can oneshot r4

[dense stag]

hey nice

yes jimbo, you have taught me well

by insulting me

[wheat haven]

Do i always take this handsome chap?

[smoky bobcat]

honestly i say you should take them both

[wheat haven]

I realised I was just asking stupid stuff, I took them both

[smoky bobcat]

or jumbo pack first

lol fair its still a good question

[wheat haven]

Found a rental faceless which might make me some nice money back

[smoky bobcat]

eternal rental does suck and brainstorm is really only useful when its got something strong to copy

oooh good luck

[gloomy swallow]

fuck yes

[wheat haven]

And a discard voucher puts me to $6 but I think its all coming back 🤑

[smoky bobcat]

cant relate </3 i think my run is lost because i pulled the eye

my entire dps is just based around the card sharp so....

nevermind worlds most clutch mr bones incoming

[buoyant ridge]

i think this game is not for me

[potent tree]

pretty nice 4oak run. dagger got to 80

[hazy epoch]

yoo when did u start da game

[buoyant ridge]

because i cant even a single gold stake run out of 30 runs

i wish gold stake would be easier

[shell dagger]

didn’t you just win a run with stuntman and wee

[buoyant ridge]

nope

because of the needle

[shell dagger]

your screenshot was in ante 8

did you take heiroglyph and reroll the boss

[fallow fog]

bro this guy hacked the client to get c++

then complained ten minutes later that he felt guilty

[thorny axle]

if only the joker didnt kill itself after 10 hands...

[buoyant ridge]

i cheated

[shell dagger]

ok so there’s a few things u could do

complain about the difficulty

or overcome it

[smoky bobcat]

thank god for mr bones

[buoyant ridge]

should a take dagger ?

[fallow fog]

omds u actl got it

[shell dagger]

absolutely not

[smoky bobcat]

got a nice and easy 4% of the score so it wont even work

i actually lost

[fallow fog]

i love how u called mr bones although luchador also cldve worked

[fallow fog]

oh.

gm

[cosmic maple]

Hmmmm I have 13 spades and easy deck fixing, do I grab it for smth?

[shell dagger]

you just took an investment tag I’m assuming, rental dagger is just gonna sap your money

[fallow fog]

spades??

[thorny axle]

nat negative (eternal) campfire

[cosmic maple]

Clubs mb

[smoky bobcat]

i just know what is going to come every single time obv

memorize every single seed and order and the game becomes potentially easier\

[fallow fog]

is ur base mult good

like wheres ur scoring cmg from atm

[cosmic maple]

Ehh

[smoky bobcat]

no more chad maybe ?

[pulsar oar]

This is making me wonder how many brains you would need to be able to store that much information

[cosmic maple]

I got lucky cards but idk

[fallow fog]

i was thinking kill the duo

[cosmic maple]

I don't really know rn

[fallow fog]

what hand do you discard for

[cosmic maple]

We love anaglyph deck

[fallow fog]

currently

[smoky bobcat]

also rares and a legendary did you skip on aneglyph lol

[cosmic maple]

Full house

[cosmic maple]

I got two rares from the first two blind skips

[smoky bobcat]

you CAN go into flush 5s with perkeo...

[fallow fog]

and do u overscore atm

i wld still go with killing the duo

[cosmic maple]

Completely

[smoky bobcat]

but at that point you prob would prefer the xmult

[smoky bobcat]

flush house moment..?

[cosmic maple]

Conflicting opinions don't help...

[cosmic maple]

That's what I would aim for yes

[smoky bobcat]

but if youre going to do flush house youll really not need the extra +mult tbh

[fallow fog]

ok ur base mult is p good im assuming

[smoky bobcat]

each planet is +4

[pulsar oar]

Yeah planets should scale enough by themselves

[fallow fog]

js keep the duo, onxy agate is not as good

[smoky bobcat]

yeah i think you should just stay as you are atm

[cosmic maple]

K thx

[smoky bobcat]

keeping it at 6x would probably be best for the moment

plus you dont necessarily have to go into clubs this way

[fallow fog]

i wld take onyx agate if its early antes and the base mult is bad, but seems fine for u rn

[smoky bobcat]

see what you get for perkeo duping and go with the first one

or diamonds for money bcs youll be fine on scoring lol

[fallow fog]

with the bp x18 is even safer

[smoky bobcat]

oh true i forgot he existed

[fallow fog]

oh yeh this wld be amazing

idol time

[sinful plaza]

hoh hohh

[fallow fog]

what face cards

[sinful plaza]

abandoned deck 🤣

[fallow fog]

exactly

[smoky bobcat]

hmm...

[pale wolf]

[wheat haven]

I wouldn't say no to a chad right now

[honest dawn]

Can you help me with some of my school English? To be honest, I'm not very good at English and I use a translator, so I can talk to you.

[pale wolf]

[thorny axle]

am i dumb or do i just not see the vision with green joker

[obsidian patrol]

i would if i had the time

[obsidian patrol]

you are dumb

[smoky bobcat]

wdym?

[thorny axle]

i see

[buoyant ridge]

LOL pure plasma core

[thorny axle]

like is green joker actually amazing and im just dumb

[honest dawn]

Anyone who can help? It literally just requires knowing English because it's relatively basic stuff. It's like me trying to explain Spanish to you.

[thorny axle]

or is it actually dogshit and im right

[obsidian patrol]

it is

[smoky bobcat]

its pretty nice when you use pairs/high card

[obsidian patrol]

Its a source of plus mult

[smoky bobcat]

and with burgler

[obsidian patrol]

With minimal downside

Which is one of the steps to winning

[buoyant ridge]

lol wth

[honest dawn]

Good

[smoky bobcat]

most scaling +mult is viable in atleast one or two different hands/decks

[wheat haven]

Man another good run and no negative skips

[obsidian patrol]

best scaling plus mult are like

grimbo

rtb

[wheat haven]

Sad

[obsidian patrol]

spare trousers

[smoky bobcat]

love me some pants

[pale wolf]

hes quite good

[smoky bobcat]

in fact, 2 drunklings

one of whom is homeless

[honest dawn]

Can someone please help me with school?

I don't want to fail, it's just that English is really hard for me.

I passed the other subjects: mathematics, physics and chemistry, geometry, and economics.

To name a few

[green stone]

😤

[shell dagger]

i don’t think the Balatro server is the best place to ask

[honest dawn]

They speak mostly English; all the other servers are in Spanish.

And as far as I know, there isn't a server where they can teach you English.

[wet pollen]

I got two legendary in the same shop

[robust lance]

“Jokerless”
Clearly two jokers

[thorny axle]

i died :(

wait

why is spare pants a uncommon

when runner is common

theyre basically the same
play a certain hand (twopair/straight) to scale mult/chips

[robust lance]

Because pants taste better than straights

[wheat haven]

Purple seals just dont wanna be discarded, wtf is this

[potent tree]

do i sell something for sock (straights level 26 atm)

[obsidian patrol]

one is more valuable than the other

[potent tree]

runner is 300 chips

[analog river]

Mult us way more important and 2pair is way easier to get

[potent tree]

honestly do i ditch drunkard

i might have to.

oops i found a cav...

[thorny axle]

i guess we're doing madness now

[obsidian patrol]

Please dont

You will lose instantly

[potent tree]

any opinions on what to throw out?

it has to be 300 chips runner right

[obsidian patrol]

what hand are you playing and what level is it

[potent tree]

straight level 26

[obsidian patrol]

its runner

usually runner doesnt matter as much if you get straight levels
