[signal frigate]

I think me modding the game fucked the playtime

[jagged valve]

FUHHH

Who do we kick here

BS (Bloodstone) I asune

[signal frigate]

Pareidolia probably served it's purpose

No wait

[jagged valve]

Canio bro

[signal frigate]

Yeah that Bloodstone isn't doing much without Dice

Kill it.

[sand lily]

Wish I had gift card

[signal frigate]

I would've killed that Faceless if it wasn't eternal

[jagged valve]

This run is gonna change my life

[opal pine]

grrrr this could have been amazing

[jagged valve]

If there's a card that sells for 5 in buffoon...

Perhaps

I'm gonna charge my phone and continue canio perkeo run later

[signal frigate]

If Credit card is in that pack, it would

1/144, let's get it

[manic talon]

cant even buy it if it was base edition

[signal frigate]

One dollar off

[pale wolf]

i losted a checkered run bht i was on a different profile so my strek no breaky

[dark cairn]

i'd say "man if only this were gold stake" but if it were gold stake theyd prob both be perishable or eternal rental

does matador work on the mouth?

[opal pine]

what's the rank of a stone card?

[grim thunder]

Nice

[opal pine]

for raised fist

[sand lily]

It will usually ignore stone cards, but if you only hold stone it's +0 I believe

[distant vault]

Fuck green joker

[opal delta]

what did green joker do…

[distant vault]

He sucks

[jagged valve]

Lowkey time to drop Pareidolia or nah?

Smth gotta go I can't lie

Wtf why did I say it like that

[tranquil steppe]

But parecanio is such a goat combo

[dark cairn]

its funny how pairs are still really good even on painted deck

though i guess anything is good if you get a polychrome green joker in the first shop lol

[ocean yoke]

Should've been yellow deck

[white zodiac]

what’s the streak rn

[sand lily]

I am popping off with jokers I barely use like bootstraps

update: I got cavendish instead

[signal frigate]

None.

But it reverts to whatever rank it used to be if you UNstone it

[signal frigate]

Reason why I think C++ is a great challenge

Cuz it makes you do that too

[sand lily]

Slowly working on that rn

[lost vault]

read the card

[signal frigate]

Doing that to my 4th profile now

[plucky shuttle]

ladies and gentleman, THERES A CHANCE

[opal delta]

I want to take the voucher but I feel like having only one discard would be really bad

[terse vale]

can i see the deck

[sonic sentinel]

you have infinite money and not running hit the road, you’re prolly fine atp

unless there’s a lot of purple seals for vampire but even then tbh

[manic talon]

Checkered deck flower pot REAL?

[opal delta]

sure

[terse vale]

ya you’ll B fine

[desert quiver]

Quick Question Gamers...
Does shortcut apply to straight flushes?

[terse vale]

yes

[languid heron]

Yes

[minor portal]

Only evil flushes.

[terse vale]

why wouldn’t it

[desert quiver]

Idk, just wanted to make sure.

[opal pine]

nice run (+60 red card and +44 fortune teller)

[sand lily]

What is the worst possible joker? (including eternal/perishable/rental etc.)

I

[terse vale]

eternal rental showman?

[sand lily]

I was thinking my new username but I think it might get even worse. Eternal rental showman would be awful.

[sleek valley]

Anyone want to guess what my gold sticker jokers are at this point? I only have 2 gold stake wins, so its not a lot

[sand lily]

Photograph, hanging chad, supernova?

[sleek valley]

Only one of those is correct

[alpine halo]

orbital tag is so goated

its like

oone of two or three good skips

[silk cobalt]

Guys, which one should I sell for brainstorm?

[sonic sentinel]

Tbh I’ll take a rental (not eternal) 8 ball just to fish for a tarot card or two that round, and if I don’t get any I’ll sell it before the round ends

[sleek valley]

How big is the hologram

[silk cobalt]

6.25x

[opal pine]

dna I think

but don't know

actually probably not

[sonic sentinel]

With some rental jokers it’s cool to gain it’s effect (like rerolling for free with chaos) then sell it right after, you effectively get the benefit once for free

or sometimes more

[silk cobalt]

How about, I sell smiley face, brainstorm the DNA, stonks for hologram, then brainstorm the Sock and Buskin?

[woven spire]

do you have good scoring cards?

to copy

[sleek valley]

Since we've rightfully moved on to helping someone, ill just give the answer. Blueprint, Brainstorm, Yorick, Drunkard, Chad, Bloodstone, burnt, trading card, rebate

[woven spire]

I would sell smiley face

copy DNA

Hologram gon go brrrr

[sleek valley]

Nobody was ever going to guess burnt. Trading card is often sold by ante 8, but its not that weird to see it still there

[woven spire]

copy those steel red seal for a potential baron mime run

[manic talon]

strongest smeared jorker

[bold star]

Which one for blueprint?

Green joker, at 34, 7 K and 35 Q

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[steel hedge]

“im a robber” ahh robber

[serene forge]

trip

[bold star]

I mean i rarely hit dna, or the trio, and sometime got trib

[distant vault]

Fuck green joker

[fallow saffron]

Any smart people able to help me out with this nan inf attempt (or tell me if it’s dead lol)

[kind creek]

Mime is going to be bad with the low hand size, right?

For some reason this feels like it might be a good idea to pair them actually

[harsh juniper]

is there any reason to buy the blank voucher after already unlocking the +1 joker voucher?

[kind creek]

as far as I know it's just -10 dollars, nothing else

[harsh juniper]

got it lmao

[kind creek]

Like because of how stuntman really wants some mult, maybe steel would be stronger with the chips

or with how this is round 2 and gold is going to make a huge diffirance

[stark karma]

I heard certificate and mime are getting reworked

true?

[jagged blade]

anyone know the odds?

[distant vault]

If you're rich

[lament bronze]

If you want to gamble on the antimatter one showing up

Or to get blank itself out of the possible rotation

Since it can be annoying sometimes with how long it sticks when ignored

Basically rolling into a blank voucher wise

Ba dumb tss

[dreamy creek]

balapro

[twin lantern]

hello!!!!!!

[dreamy creek]

[twin lantern]

im yumi

[dreamy creek]

as in tasty?

[stark karma]

kinda rare

like whatever lol

idk

[indigo snow]

ridiculous pack but should i take the neg juggler or the blue guy?

im fishing for an ecto rn with no luck

[burnt grail]

How many 6s in your deck?

[indigo snow]

i’ve been deathing every round i have 1 but like 10 purples

the neg juggler offsets the ecto nerf to the baron setup and i can always roll for bp later i guess

[burnt grail]

so you made your choice

[indigo snow]

i’m scoring like e26 without steel im way ahead yea

[burnt grail]

ohh

that’s a good run

well

[indigo snow]

holy shit its a mega pack im stupid LMAO

[burnt grail]

oh-

I also do that mistake a lot

mostly when I can pick two in arcana tho

[indigo snow]

yeah not a bad run

[woven spire]

W deckfix in ante 10?

[vale shale]

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What deck we thinking bout.

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

black

[serene forge]

bad suit ngl

[vale shale]

9th black deck run.

[heavy heron]

no bias at all

actually you're forgetting about the lusty synergy

[woven spire]

i passed the head in first ante

[serene forge]

nope

definitely not

[woven spire]

fym ❌

i admit it, im playing bloodstone oops

[heavy heron]

what in god are these effects

covering up half ym screen

[woven spire]

FR

[tiny harbor]

i was golding my deck and now i'm out of cards to score

[woven spire]

Greed explained:

[serene forge]

ante 10 feels a little late for that

[woven spire]

fr

[tiny harbor]

i just got red seals

bruh

[woven spire]

numbers go up me happy

[trim rover]

Needed 560k: Gets 1e13

What a run

Close run but satisfying

Holo was at 4.25 i think

[west perch]

this feels like a pretty OP start for plasma no?

just lots of chip stacking

[harsh juniper]

can someone please exlain tags for me and he diet cola joker? I am confused af

[west perch]

every blind has a tag that you can get if you decide to skip

when you sell diet cola, it doubles the next tag you get. so you get two

[last bolt]

tips for anaglyph on gold

if possible

[harsh juniper]

what do you do with those tags then

[last bolt]

thanks

[west perch]

oh god i'm gonna be so naughty with chips

[fluid quartz]

Thoughts?

[serene forge]

no

[serene forge]

why

[fluid quartz]

No voucher tags

[serene forge]

econ/orbital skip is useful

[shell dagger]

nothing, they are just rewards

like double your money up to $40

[last bolt]

got it

thanks

[lost vault]

balatro

[harsh juniper]

i see, thank you

[west perch]

reroll for throwback -> go ham

[lost vault]

throback sucks

[last bolt]

its

an alright joker

[lost vault]

no

it’s horrible

[last bolt]

mediocre

[west perch]

not on anaglyph

[lost vault]

it sucks on anaglyph too

[last bolt]

i hate anaglyph more than painted

[manic talon]

its okay, it could win Gold stake plasma

[west perch]

that's what i'm trying to do right now

been really struggling

[woven spire]

i thought

scared me ngl

Chat do i take it?

im on e13 without bp

it wont make much difference right?

[west perch]

swapping it for dusk or?

[woven spire]

idk tbh

[trim rover]

Unbelievable I'm still going with this

[manic talon]

cat wont do much

[west perch]

looks like you're set up for good lucky procs if you have the cards

[trim rover]

Wild this run is still going

That eternal misprint just hitching a ride be like:

[woven spire]

thats what im thinking

but idk

[west perch]

if you can get it to 2x in a couple rounds it's kind of better than dusk already no?

well probably not

[woven spire]

No dusk gives me 5 times x2 and 1.5x

Ill just skip

is the safest option i think

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[potent tree]

me too, me too.

do i sack business card for a soul

[serene forge]

do you need bull

[potent tree]

i mean with black deck i need more scoring

i don't run straight flush so i can't maximize arrowhead

[serene forge]

sac business card then

[potent tree]

this deck is between straight and fullhouse

[serene forge]

how many saturns

[potent tree]

both are level 4 atm. yes level 4

[serene forge]

damn ok

[potent tree]

but we got chicken strips yet again from soul

so we good

[serene forge]

that's good

[potent tree]

i picked up cat kinda late unfortunately.

so it's only at 2.5x

even with oa6

damn 3 lucky cards all triggered in one straight, and one gave both mult and money

[idle haven]

are we fucking for real

i just lost the run because of this shit

i fucking hate balatro

[fervent wolf]

Straight run was fun

[serene forge]

common flush L

[potent tree]

man if only it was gold stake

[idle haven]

i was ante 3

i was still deck fixing

[serene forge]

why

pair better

[distant vault]

Holy mother of dog shit

[idle haven]

because i didnt get anything good for pair

[serene forge]

above average skip tag

[serene forge]

skill issue

[idle haven]

the game gave me nothing but jokers for flush

[distant vault]

I don't care what the tag is i take it

[idle haven]

amgaf

[serene forge]

Lightning McQueen Gaming

[distant vault]

Dude just get good jokers. Skill issue

[idle haven]

joobiwow

[distant vault]

Balatrocord when you don't play optimally to have some bit of fun

[idle haven]

i dont play optimally

i play only flushes on white stake and if i lose i complain and blame the game

[opal pine]

playing with two pair do I take any of this?

[serene forge]

why would you play two pair with burned jonkler

[opal pine]

idk

I wanted to play with two pair, what should I play with with burned?

[serene forge]

pair

[vocal rose]

pairs

[serene forge]

or high card

[opal pine]

is there any way to see the seed of a current run?

[vocal rose]

no

until you win

[serene forge]

only after you win or die

[vocal rose]

or lose

[opal pine]

alright then I'll just try playing with pairs from now and retry this seed if I lose

[vocal rose]

for very obvious reasons

[opal pine]

still do I take something in the shop

[vocal rose]

bones and go next

[opal pine]

why mr bones?

[wintry ice]

greedy joker is also an option

[opal pine]

yeah but why bones? I heard it's quite shit

what's better buffoon pack or medium arcana? or both but no interest

or well, little interest

nvm I need more scoring so buffoon pack

I'm thinking photograph but have no clue whether that's good with pairs

[white zodiac]

it’s ok

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[idle haven]

only took 6 antes

[serene forge]

bro has a +80 erosion and doesn't give a shit

[uncut slate]

i woulda taken 8 ball ngl

[opal pine]

+80 erosion?

[white zodiac]

i take

[idle haven]

cant find it

[idle haven]

EIGHT BALL

[ionic rampart]

i’m starting to think that was a blunder

[lunar zealot]

ello ello what we doin

[opal pine]

balala

[idle haven]

might've been

[ionic rampart]

what makes pairs so good?

[feral dock]

they pair well with a lot of things

[idle haven]

joobilaugh

[opal pine]

is the idol good with pairs?

[idle haven]

oh my peak

[feral dock]

i think it worked :]

[idle haven]

i think i won

[heavy heron]

don’t sleep on venus i guess!

[idle haven]

what a number

why ecto why

yay

[severe arch]

weirdest deck that won me the game ngl

[opal pine]

do I take the buffoon pack even though I already have 5 jokers?

[severe arch]

burglar is such a weird joker

[severe arch]

if there's jokers you think are underperforming then yea

[opal pine]

well the idol, but that one'll only really shine once I thinned out my deck

[serene forge]

no because the idol is good with nothing at all

[serene forge]

should've sold

[serene forge]

yeah

[severe arch]

regardless, if there's jokers you feel like is prob not that good soon then getting the jumbo pack is good, like i'd open it just to see whats inside knowing that i'd prob sell the business card

[serene forge]

you have the money

[idle haven]

mayb

[serene forge]

and you can always find something better

[opal pine]

money or tarots?

[potent tree]

not bad for only 2 hands a round

[idle haven]

oh my joker lineup

[fiery notch]

if you don't think your jokers are set, you should (almost) always take the jumbo

[potent tree]

showman: where would you be without me?

[idle haven]

i literally just got him and he instantly got me another blueprint next shop

[potent tree]

now time for golden hell (black deck gold stake)

[shell yarrow]

Oh dude you are COOKING
What's Fortune Teller on?
(mb if I get the name wrong I've been playing in French recently)

[idle haven]

dude

[minor portal]

rest in piss showman

[shell yarrow]

WHAT LOL

[distant vault]

Showman fucking sucks

😡

[pale wolf]

2 lol

[potent tree]

damn...loyalty card really do be calling my name

[minor portal]

loyalty card is the lebron of balatro

[serene forge]

I think I sell idol and grab dice

because of the sock

[heavy heron]

didn’t know loyalty could be so expensive

(that was a joke)

[idle haven]

are you fucking kidding me

[shell yarrow]

Holy shit lol

[serene forge]

now you really regret ectoing that photo now don't you

[idle haven]

YES

oh my fucking god

[potent tree]

speculative foil flowerpot?

[opal pine]

I think you mean because of the business because sock isn't a chance

[serene forge]

sock retriggers business card

[idle haven]

oh no whatever will i do

[shell yarrow]

Oh no
You with your e score

[idle haven]

of course polychrome hits the only non red seal i have

[fallow fog]

i mean

just make it red

😁

[idle haven]

yeah ik

but still

[fallow fog]

murphys law

[shell yarrow]

frfr

[fallow fog]

*proceeds to forget to reroll

[opal pine]

both of these could potentially be good

[idle haven]

i dont put it past myself

[ionic rampart]

*rerolls into debuffed hearts

[ionic rampart]

give me your seed

[fallow fog]

wtf

[idle haven]

i have retcon

[idle haven]

once i lose sure

[fallow fog]

wheres the nat neg dusk

[potent tree]

[opal pine]

I think supernova supernova will long term be better than photograph

[idle haven]

wow

[fallow fog]

what the actual fk

[ionic rampart]

yippee

[shell yarrow]

dude what the fuck

[idle haven]

this seed is op

i just came across gold

[shell yarrow]

how
LUSTY JOKER esp

[ionic rampart]

what level is your hand

[fallow fog]

theres still no brainstorm

[fallow fog]

shbsnnsnjdjdnnd

[shell yarrow]

they got a brainstorm in shop just didn't buy

[idle haven]

like nothing im lowk forgetting to get planet cards

[fallow fog]

nat neg brainstorm

[ionic rampart]

not even a nat negative brainstorm trash seed ngl

[fallow fog]

have u taken any ectos yet

no right

[idle haven]

yes

it fucking hit photo because i forgot to sell

[fallow fog]

u got photochad tho

so

perfect

u can take one more ecto

[idle haven]

yup

yes

[fallow fog]

then wait for a nat neg troub or juggler then take one more

[fallow fog]

sheesh

[idle haven]

absolute latro

[fallow fog]

oh wait no antimatter yet

maybe can start considering voucher skips

[idle haven]

yup

[fallow fog]

btw i think three bps on trib may be more optimal with the chad now

[idle haven]

i'll check

im on the needle rn

but one sec

this is my current best score due to lack of red seal polychromes

[fallow fog]

if you got the red seal poly chrome i think the order doesnt matter

[idle haven]

i got 4 rn

all in my hand

i'll show you how quad trib goes

[opal pine]

I'm already in ante 5 do I still take the rocket?

[idle haven]

quad trib is one e less

OH MY GOD BRO

if i can get thru this ante we might be cooking

[frank grove]

avg throwback run

[idle haven]

we've gone full poly

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[idle haven]

bloodstone goated

[serene forge]

correction

[idle haven]

FUCK

NO ANTI MATTER

[serene forge]

I hate Endless Mode

[idle haven]

i love endless

what a run

seed for anyone who wants it

[ionic rampart]

tragic

[opal pine]

I have a lot of queens so this one could be good, but look at the stuff I already have

what to do?

is this queen better than blueprint?

[patent prairie]

absolutely not

whats your dagger at

[brazen pagoda]

I need to share this with people who would understand. This is where I tragically lose after 2h30 of pure bliss. I had three legendary joker encounters in this run 😌

[serene forge]

Bloodstone is crazy good if you do flushes. I just immediately start making heart cards with glass/mult/chips. You can pair it with retriggers and oops to basically autowin. The only true weakness ends up being the Head and the boss that debuffs your cards played previous ante. If you get boss rerolls it is genuinely hard to f up a run with Bloodstone unless you find too late. I honestly find Bloodstone to be boring to play with now, it's an easy S tier for me.

Photo with chad or sock/dusk is obviously strong. Photo by itself is good if you have mult though. It really isn't super useful without retriggers otherwise.

No clue why DNA is so high though. Its main use is Baron naneinf runs for me. I guess you could copy blue seals or poly cards though.

[potent tree]

fullskipping good 👍

not how i envisioned beating black deck gold stake, but we take it.

oh and michel didn't die so free gold sticker

[sleek shore]

This is my single best gold sticker run. 4 stickers is so huge. Now only 3 jokers remaining for C++

[potent tree]

which 3 if i may ask

[sleek shore]

Seance, Baron and dagger

[potent tree]

dagger took me a while, good luck with that.

[sleek shore]

Dagger is so ass I’ve tried to win a run with it multiple times

I always lose when I rely on it

[frozen swan]

is there a way to remove the comically large 3 of spades that I can't interact with off my screen?

[faint linden]

Unreliable unless you have an "Oops! All Sixes"

[potent tree]

well fullskip run is dead. but still, not terrible

throwback hit 6.5 with hiero

and more importantly black deck is finished

[frozen swan]

everytime the 3 of spades comes up, I just straight can't use it

[floral mural]

time to carry trib i guess

this has to be trib

for my dismay

[potent tree]

stats after completing 5 of 15 decks

purple stake was harder than orange or gold, surprisingly

[sleek shore]

Reset the game

Idk what else you can do

[frozen swan]

I forgot I could do that

[potent tree]

soul has now moved into 3rd place on the usage list...damn

tied with wraith

only trance and aura remain ahead

[brave stirrup]

Dagger bro

[green apex]

holy nat neg photochad?

[sleek shore]

It’s ass

[opal pine]

starting my first red stake run wish me luck (with blue deck)

[vale wharf]

Flash card is so bad omg
It's so much money for the amount of mult you get

[opal pine]

what? no it's not ass, it's pretty good

[potent tree]

red stake shouldn't be too terrible, just requires slightly better econ management

[frozen swan]

it shrinked, thanks!

[green apex]

if you have a lot of money its solid.. rebate, gold cards, ticket

[potent tree]

now when you get to black deck...good luck with that one!

[opal pine]

with good econ that shouldn't be a problem

[potent tree]

also is it bad that grimbo and chad are tied as most used jokers this savefile

[sleek shore]

No

Grimbo good

[potent tree]

also somehow both bp and bs are in my top 10

[brave stirrup]

[potent tree]

6th and 9th place on top of that

[sleek shore]

Used to be a big photochad player when I started getting gold stake deck completions.

Honestly haven’t used photochad very much during gold sticker hunting

[brave stirrup]

Well to be fair it's kind of a passive, you should choose it if you usually do whats in the card. Of course you can specifically do what's stated but you can definitely just grind it up by just playing a good econ

[brave stirrup]

Hanging Chad when it comes to being the best joker in the game ever

[sleek shore]

Yeah it’s something you pick up if you have an empty slot you don’t need

Jupiter is this high because of how I used to play in until I started gold sticker farming. Now I almost exclusively play pairs

[serene forge]

how the hell is aura and wraith so high

[sleek shore]

I wish there was something to show recent stats

[serene forge]

where is immolate

[potent tree]

not in top 10...

[sleek shore]

What

[serene forge]

HOW

[sleek shore]

Why are we not picking up immolate

[potent tree]

i would but i usually find it when i'm deckfixing late in a run

rather than at the beginning

and unfortunately that just won't do.

[ionic rampart]

gotta get that $3 talisman money instead

[potent tree]

also deja vu hasn't been appearing that often

[sleek shore]

Talismid

[serene forge]

oh second save

[potent tree]

ye lmao

lemme switch to first

[serene forge]

that makes a little more sense I think

[potent tree]

um on second thought

immolate isn't top 10 here either

[ionic rampart]

anything special on the second save or are you literally just playing the game again?

[serene forge]

dawg are we playing the same game

[potent tree]

i hope we are.

[ionic rampart]

every copy of balatro is personalized

[potent tree]

see the amount of ghost deck i've done

[serene forge]

yeah hex checks out

[ionic rampart]

your copy just deleted immolate apparently

[opal delta]

runs going pretty well id say

I keep doing black stake runs because im too lazy to try and get another c++

[potent tree]

well i'm going for it

[indigo laurel]

Full house counts into trousers ?

[potent tree]

yes

[sleek shore]

What is interesting in black stake

[lunar zealot]

a full house contains a two pair

[sleek shore]

Yes

[potent tree]

eternal jokers without risk of perishable or rental, basically makes madness almost zero risk

[ionic rampart]

but 4oak doesn’t cause balatro hates fun

[lunar zealot]

4oak is not a two pair

because it's two pairs of what

[indigo laurel]

i knew that just didnt wanna die and figure out so safe to ask the beautiful smart people of game discussion

[potent tree]

oh a wild kami appears

[vale wharf]

This has been a very weird run
Trading card at 30
Level 14 pair

[lunar zealot]

don't patronize me (do it anyway i deserve praise)

[potent tree]

you mean flash card i hope

[sleek shore]

Trading card?

[vale wharf]

Oh yes, flash

[sleek shore]

No it’s part of the new patch trading card scales now

[ionic rampart]

the phantom trading card murdered 30 cards for fun

[potent tree]

oh damn 30 dollars a discard? immolate is so last year

new trading card is gonna be my most used joker!

[lunar zealot]

If you think about it it's technically erosion value

so trading card is like

half an erosion

[lime folio]

Guys help

[ionic rampart]

if you think about it every joker scales because it makes abstract stronger

[potent tree]

i had a good trading card/erosion run like a week ago

[sleek shore]

What is this shop

Holy shit

[potent tree]

true...

[lime folio]

I’ve been playing too much balatro I see it when I close my eyes😭

[lunar zealot]

If you think about it

[potent tree]

same but astroneer for me honestly 😭

[lunar zealot]

Uncommon Jokers each give x1.5 Mult

[potent tree]

a new spectral card should be made. idk about the name, but the effect can be "Creates a random Uncommon Joker, halves your money"

[lime folio]

I need to sleep cuz I have school tommorow but I REALLY want checkerd deck and I wanna play

[opal delta]

hi everyone

[lime folio]

Hello

[potent tree]

it's exams week innit? go sleep

[lime folio]

Nope

[potent tree]

or are you not american

[lime folio]

Week after break

The day we come back

Quarterly’s

[potent tree]

ahh. where i'm at we all do exams before the break lol

[ionic rampart]

exams are temporary
balatro is forever

[sleek shore]

We are Balatro

[potent tree]

and anyways i've graduated so until i find employment i am a full time balatro'er

[lime folio]

Flush five forver✌️(I’ve never beaten red stake)

[vale wharf]

Wowwwww, the game is giving me reroll surplus after I won
Thanks!

[ionic rampart]

now you can scale to naneinf

[sleek shore]

I love it when the game gives you the best shop imaginable right after you win

[potent tree]

ah next deck i can play is magic. this will be fun (not, my fools are gonna become my most used consumable 😭)

[sleek shore]

Blueprint once appears literally right after I got naneinf

[ionic rampart]

double perishable

incredible

[lime folio]

I’ve been trying to win with blue hand but then I die to horrible rng

What do you mean all the diamonds are at the bottom of the deck balatro devs

[sleek shore]

If i took both my scoring would actually drop

[ionic rampart]

absolutely fire shop

[sleek shore]

But just blueprint would have increased my scoring by so much

[ionic rampart]

you could also buy the voucher to permanently weaken your run :)

[vale wharf]

Do I sell the hex? 😭

[ionic rampart]

yes

[sleek shore]

Another interesting shop

Unfortunately it was rental otherwise I would have taken it

[sleek shore]

Yes

[ionic rampart]

just skip everything for the rest of the run

[vale wharf]

I mean, you have rocket

It will pay for it

[sleek shore]

My scoring was enough to win the next five rounds

So it was not worth the $3 per round

[ionic rampart]

i hate perishable so much

[vale wharf]

You had $44!

[ocean yoke]

Ik sock is better than oops buy like

Or is it?

[sleek shore]

No

[ocean yoke]

Should I sell oops for basket

Busket

[sleek shore]

Oops is the goat

Never sell oops

[lime folio]

Apparently there’s a mobile balatro who would’ve knew

[ionic rampart]

sell the bloodstone for sock

[sleek shore]

Yeah it’s not like I exclusively play the mobile version

[ocean yoke]

Wisd words

[vale wharf]

You can also bleed while wearing socks

[lime folio]

Really?

[sleek shore]

I’ll get C++ and retire

[vale wharf]

Yeah, if you get struck by a stone

[ionic rampart]

why have i been wearing socks all this time then

[lime folio]

Hmm

Let’s all walk in the snow barefoot🙏

[sleek shore]

Flushes —> High card —> Pairs

Transition from noob to less noob

Or atleast that’s how it worked for me

[lavish gazelle]

Steel toe socks

Can't get me now

[indigo laurel]

is there a way i dont die and win

[sleek shore]

Don’t die

[vale wharf]

And win

[sleek shore]

It’s so simple

[visual arch]

This is a funny run with the Observatory voucher:

[ionic rampart]

i’m going to need you to listen to me very carefully:

cheat

[vale wharf]

1.5x toes

[idle haven]

Yes

[indigo laurel]

very helpful guys thanks

[ionic rampart]

yw

[sleek shore]

No problem!

[quartz ember]

taking the hologram is prolly a good idea

[sleek shore]

Make sure not to screw up the first step

And you should be good

[lavish gazelle]

Polychrome steel socks

[vale wharf]

Balatro pop quiz!
What colours are the edges on mail in rebate?

[sleek shore]

I’m colorblind idk

[lavish gazelle]

Sell rebate and take holo is a start

[indigo laurel]

baby pink

[sleek shore]

What is this joker name in game (super hard impossible difficulty)

So hard nobody can answer

[ionic rampart]

IT’S JIMBO

[ocean yoke]

Maybe in another life

[sleek shore]

No he’s called joker

[ionic rampart]

I HATE THIS GAME

[ionic rampart]

sell the third sock from the right it looked at me funny

[green apex]

oh wait thats true

sell it for the new one

[indigo laurel]

omg shes so crazy i love her ah green leafs

[sleek shore]

Sell the merchman and buy the red card

Which color is objectively better

[tawny radish]

hmm

wait lemme check

bananas are appareantly yellow so it must be that

[acoustic kettle]

Jimbo jones

[sleek shore]

All colors are equal all answers are correct

Now for the hard questions

Only one correct answer

[acoustic kettle]

Plalsmsa

[tawny radish]

probably one of them

[sleek shore]

I can’t tell you how much I hate plasma

[ionic rampart]

black

[sleek shore]

Honestly black was more enjoyable than plasma

[acoustic kettle]

[sleek shore]

I’d rather play black than plasma

[ionic rampart]

the problem is that both of these decks are boring

[sleek shore]

2 people have braincells

Cool

[sleek shore]

Blue is boring but yellow is fun

[ionic rampart]

blue is literally the worst deck ever

[sleek shore]

I’ve seen people rank blue above yellow

[ionic rampart]

they lack 4/5 senses

[sleek shore]

Broskie if I wanted +1 hands I’d just reroll yellow deck until I got the hands voucher

[patent prairie]

anaglyph

[potent tree]

all roads must lead...to photochad.

[sleek shore]

I start with +1 hands and 2 dollars extra

[sleek shore]

Photochad and burnt joker is an insta win

[sleek shore]

So true they need to be skinned

[vale wharf]

Why isn't blue better than yellow?

[ionic rampart]

because blue is worthless

[crisp frost]

?

[sleek shore]

Just reroll yellow deck until you get a shop with hands voucher

Now you have +1 hands and extra money

[acoustic kettle]

Plasma is yellow but better

[sleek shore]

Plasma is the worst deck ever created I hope it gets deleted

[ionic rampart]

you lack whimsy

[crisp frost]

What is the best deck for news?

[acoustic kettle]

Plasma

[sleek shore]

News?

[acoustic kettle]

Yellow is so boring

Like

[potent tree]

new players

[acoustic kettle]

Extra money

That's it

[sleek shore]

Yellow

Yellow for everything

[crisp frost]

Ok

Thanks

[green apex]

and you start with 2 dollars interest instead of none

broken

[ocean yoke]

Beginning 5 so boring

Maybe except green

[sleek shore]

Yeah it’s actually start with 15 dollars

Even more since you can build interest money quickly

[acoustic kettle]

Plasma is just yellow since you don't need to buy anything

[ionic rampart]

jokerless plasma gaming

[ocean yoke]

Yea but it's plasma

[vale wharf]

Well, what's the best deck?

[sleek shore]

Yeah but the end game is literally impossible 99% of people cannot solve this one

[sleek shore]

Yellow

And yellow

Also yellow is good

[acoustic kettle]

It's just 2x blind size

The score scales faster

[sleek shore]

“Just”

[ionic rampart]

erratic is pretty funny

[sleek shore]

The score doesn’t scale faster otherwise it wouldn’t have been too bad

X mult sucks early game and chips sucks end game

[ionic rampart]

haom reportedly can’t pivot

[vale wharf]

You're wrong, plasma is 🤭

[sleek shore]

Yes I can’t

It’s why plasma is ass

I can’t spam pairs and win

[ionic rampart]

do not blame the deck for your own shortcomings in life

[sleek shore]

No that’s what I’m gonna do

Fuck plasma

[vale wharf]

I don't pivot, I just look for square joker and clone it and then search for blueprint and brainstorm

Maybe find a bull too

[acoustic kettle]

I mean

I can spam pairs and win

Skill issue

[sleek shore]

Don’t get every X mult joker in one shop well fuck you haha

[vale wharf]

I genuinely don't understand what they mean by pivot

Where tf do we find 3 xmults from?

And we're not scaling a +mult usually

[acoustic kettle]

2 is enough

[potent tree]

finally unlocked seeing double

idk how it took me this long

[sleek shore]

Average team needed to beat plasma deck

[acoustic kettle]

Also you can still scale +mult

[visual arch]

Is it worth it to take blueprint here?

[vale wharf]

What's the requirement?

[ionic rampart]

i love how this unlock is the only thing 7s have going for them

[potent tree]

4 7 of clubs

[vale wharf]

You need just one moon card 😭

[crisp frost]

What you suggest for orange stake?

[hollow kernel]

finally beat orange stake for the first time i could shed a tear

[sleek shore]

This is the only ever fun plasma deck run I had at high stakes

The rest genuinely piss me off

[vale wharf]

Which deck?

[sleek shore]

Won with just straight levels

[hollow kernel]

magic!

i was trying it on yellow for a while but got irritated and went to magic

[vale wharf]

I never know how to use the starter fools on magic

[sleek shore]

How could you not beat it on yellow

[ionic rampart]

hermit

belated yellow deck

[sleek shore]

Mercury

[hollow kernel]

terrible luck so many times lol

i was raging

[sleek shore]

I always use fools on mercury

[pine drum]

Doing the Mad World challenge and this is my first shop

[ionic rampart]

you’re insane

[sleek shore]

I know

[hollow kernel]

i did this in the one i just beat on orange it’s the way to go

[sleek shore]

The perfect ante 1

Except my Econ is ass for the rest of the game

[vale wharf]

Stop cheating 😭

[queen kindle]

FUUUUCK I THOUGH ASTRONOMER WOULD BE FINE

[ionic rampart]

if only you were playing plasma deck

[sleek shore]

Plasmid

[vale wharf]

I've beaten 4 gold stakes now, let's see how yellow deck white stake compares...

[ionic rampart]

ride the bus voters need a lobotomy

[sleek shore]

Already got one

[lunar zealot]

#theusualsuspects resorting to violence when they don't get what they want

[sleek shore]

Ride the bus is easier to scale

[ionic rampart]

doesn’t synergize with pareidolia

[marsh needle]

… in an unfixed deck??? first hand btw

[sleek shore]

Who even buys pareidolia

[rigid forge]

oh man found a seed that has blueprint, brainstorm, perkeo, dna and rebate all before ante 7

[sleek shore]

I almost got C++ and I’ve still never unironically used it

[rigid forge]

shame I was already playing photochad on a gold stake run on plasma so can't really go for that

[unreal island]

honestly opportunity cost of not being able to use obby when using supernova just makes it strictly worse than rtb

grimbo as well with discards

[rigid forge]

I didn't use it before but now after C++ I find some uses for it e.g business card

[sleek shore]

Yeah it’s why I like rtb

And playing around its weakness is easy.

[lunar zealot]

supernova directly dies to the eye

that weakness is significant

its lack of flexibility hurts it too much

[sleek shore]

To get rid of face cards from your hand just play pair and your face cards

[unreal island]

seeing this as a deltarune fan was a jumpscare lowk

[ionic rampart]

have a card sharp just in case

[lunar zealot]

For grimbo vs bus

[lunar zealot]

I really don't care about your half assed attempts to be funny

not today at least

[unreal island]

im achieveing flow state rn im talking about zootopia in tboicord rn as well

[lunar zealot]

face cards just have less overall use cases on gold stake than discards

[ionic rampart]

👍

[lunar zealot]

discards have rebate, faceless, castle, trading card, purple seals, even yorick

face cards have

business card?

[unreal island]

business card is pretty good early game tho

um

[lunar zealot]

photochad but that's wholly incompatible with +mult in general

[unreal island]

i forget photochad exists half the time now ngl

photograph in general

photograph just kinda sucks

[sleek shore]

Is it normal to use photochad much less when you start gold sticker hunting

I just don’t pick up photochad much anymore

[fading ridge]

Haiii :333

[potent tree]

in desperate need of a bp rn

[ionic rampart]

how did this happen

[potent tree]

2 ectos because i didn't give a flying hoot

aaand we lost. oh well

[fickle mesa]

hey if u dont like what someones saying and theyre not hurting anyone just block and move on

[opal pine]

uhhh... yeah, I think I'll win this

[fickle mesa]

u dont need to make ur problems into theirs

[sleek shore]

Successful dagger run?

I thought dagger working was a myth

[ionic rampart]

rare dagger w????

[lunar zealot]

Oh wow so now it's my fault as always

My bad

[opal pine]

I got dagger after the first round

[fickle mesa]

whats ur fault

i didnt blame anything on u i just thought u were being harsh to somebody being a little goofy

[marsh needle]

Duplicate blue seal or queen? (I have 6 queens, one blue seal, playing pairs, level 4)

[sleek shore]

Dagger is so expensive to scale.

[unreal island]

"rare dagger w" as if dagger isn't consistent

[sleek shore]

I hate dagger

[sleek shore]

Dagger is ass

[marsh needle]

Could be a queen steel or blue steel

[potent tree]

guys...do you think i'll unlock invis with a ghost deck stencil ankh run? or waiting all the way until painted

[unreal island]

dagger's great

[sleek shore]

That’s why it’s rare W

[ionic rampart]

imo worst part is using a slot just to scale it well

[unreal island]

ykw haom

im gonna slap you

[marsh needle]

Its fairly easy to win with 4 jokers in white stake. I did it deliberately on ghost deck

Or maybe it was yellow idkkk

[potent tree]

that's a good point

[sleek shore]

Im being attacked for telling the truth

[fickle mesa]

and spoke because ive been told off like that before and i totally get it i get feeling annoyed but also it does hurt being on the receiving end

[solid plover]

How is it possibly good. Egg is the exception not the norm

[unreal island]

literally buy any joker to scale it

like

any joker

[sleek shore]

Not only do you need an empty slot but also there is always the chance your shop doesn’t have any joker meaning you have to reroll to scale it

[fickle mesa]

the average joker costs like 4 dollars right

[solid plover]

The jokers are usually better than the +2 mult you give dagger

[fickle mesa]

so its 4 dollars for 4 mult

[sleek shore]

$8-9 for a little mult is so bad

[fickle mesa]

if ur spending 8 dollars for 8 mult thats rly good conversion

[ionic rampart]

1:1 mult for money is like

[solid plover]

It’s sell value

[ionic rampart]

really bad

[solid plover]

Sell value is half of what you buy it for

[fickle mesa]

thats the same as green joker and bus what

[sleek shore]

No your spending $5 for reroll and 4 dollars for the joker

[ionic rampart]

when it also uses 2 joker slots

[fickle mesa]

its double the sell value

[unreal island]

meanwhile red card with its 4:3/6:3 conversion rate

[sleek shore]

So $9 for 4 mult

[ionic rampart]

so 1:1

[rigid forge]

yeah thats what sucks about the dagger

[fickle mesa]

usually u dont need to reroll

[opal pine]

I also got the one that gives you five money when discard a random rank, reaaaally early on

[fickle mesa]

yes just like green joker and ride the bus

[sleek shore]

Mail in rebate nice

[solid plover]

10 for 5 mult or a voucher that’s better

[fickle mesa]

it will be 10 for 10 mult

[ionic rampart]

both of those only use one joker slot surprisingly

[potent tree]

so the last jokers i need to unlock/discover this savefile are glass, steel, seeing double (all unlocked), golden ticket, hit the road, invis (all locked)

[sleek shore]

But sometimes you do

[fickle mesa]

on occasion you do in which case u can miss a round of scaling

[unreal island]

great thing about ceremonial dagger is that.. you don't need to constantly scale it???

[sleek shore]

Also rentals and eternals constantly clogging the shop

[unreal island]

+50/60 mult is enough

[ionic rampart]

what’s invis unlock again?

[fickle mesa]

rentals are 1 dollar for 2 mult

[sleek shore]

Win with only 4 jokers I think

[opal pine]

• 4

[fickle mesa]

its scaling +mult which is almost always good

[ionic rampart]

now we’re cooking

[fickle mesa]

yes and they also both come with drawbacks that dagger doesnt have

[sleek shore]

What

[fickle mesa]

well green joker u cant discard right

and bus u cant play face cards

i mean the latter is pretty much not a problem

[sleek shore]

Daggers you have one empty slot and can get screwed over by bad RNG

[solid plover]

The tarot scaling one is just better tbh

[fickle mesa]

what

[unreal island]

dagger drawbacks:

• you're stupid and forget to move it to the right

[fickle mesa]

what rng

[unreal island]

wrong reply

[ionic rampart]

fortune teller?

[unreal island]

but right person?

[fickle mesa]

i hope u dont mean it killing a joker

[solid plover]

Yeah

[sleek shore]

Not getting a joker in the shop when you absolutely need the mult

Which happens

[unreal island]

i used to think this way until i found out thats just not true

its retroactively good, but at that point you should already have found a good scaling +mult

[fickle mesa]

u dont use dagger as emergency mult

[unreal island]

and besides, some runs you just dont get good early tarot gen so like it struggles early game

[fickle mesa]

unless u can in which case u do

[solid plover]

May have a bias from a recent run with vagabond+bp

[ionic rampart]

what else is retroactive?

throwback and anything else?

[unreal island]

MY MOM

[fickle mesa]

but like early game u want like an abstract joker or smth to do stuff while u grow ur dagger

[unreal island]

absolutely biased

[fickle mesa]

dagger is ultimately scaling mult and scaling mult is very strong

[unreal island]

dagger so overhated fr

[solid plover]

I always find it at a point where the jokers I have are better

[fickle mesa]

ppl hate dagger because roffle hates it

[solid plover]

Or I just don’t have any

[fickle mesa]

you dont take dagger past like

[sleek shore]

Who is roffle

[fickle mesa]

ante 3 or maybe 4

[unreal island]

former roffle addict here, this is true

[opal pine]

supernova in my case

[fickle mesa]

supernova and dagger can grow together then

[ionic rampart]

can’t savescum when it kills a good joker by accident, therefore f tier

[fickle mesa]

and u can have 2 strong +mults

[unreal island]

you can say this for like every scaling +mult except for forteller

[opal delta]

NOOOO 😭

[unreal island]

mobile 😋

[sleek shore]

Mobile W

[fickle mesa]

fortune teller isnt a scaling mult though

[sleek shore]

Just close the game quickly

[fickle mesa]

its like half or abstract joker

[ionic rampart]

how does mobile saving work?

[opal pine]

does anybody want my broken dagger seed?

[fickle mesa]

this is slash joke slash reference

[solid plover]

Supernova too I think (if I remember the name right)

[opal pine]

wait I can post it in one of the seed channels

[unreal island]

royally fucked

[sleek shore]

Yes I want your seed

[opal delta]

probably gonna take shoot the moon anyway

[unreal island]

supernova too yes

[unreal island]

who wouldn't have??

[opal pine]

hold on let me win

[unreal island]

stm so strong

[ionic rampart]

i want supernova to display the highest hand on itself

[opal pine]

240 dagger mult

[fickle mesa]

tldr scaling mult is good and strong and daggers flaws dont rly change the fact that it can sometimes grow 8 mult in one round and thats simply insane

[opal pine]

won on the first hand no discards

[opal delta]

[solid plover]

Any green deck orange stake tips? Just beat purple

[opal pine]

NF5X6WSC here's the seed

make sure to open the pack

buffoon

[sleek shore]

Thanks

[fickle mesa]

the only one that can hope to grow as fast in one round is erosion but erosion can never be as consistent as dagger without trading card

[sleek shore]

HJT THE ROAD

GET THE SHIT JOKER

[unreal island]

dagger also has good synergies with judgement, riff raff, ankh, wof, wraith, etc.

[fickle mesa]

hit the road is like

good

[opal delta]

I dont have hit the road unlocked

[acoustic kettle]

Htr is okay

Baron though

[sleek shore]

That’s good

[ionic rampart]

okay but consider:

[sleek shore]

Keep it that way

[ionic rampart]

i hate it

[fickle mesa]

i love dagger you need to like

[unreal island]

free 4 bucks?

[opal pine]

with good money generation it consistently grows +6 per round, and yeah sometimes 8, and of course egg is insane

[fickle mesa]

unlearn the importance of synergies

[opal delta]

fyi it was the duo

so I can get 4 bucks back or a negative stm

[ionic rampart]

ankh??

[sleek shore]

You don’t want that

[fickle mesa]

you're never using ankh with a dagger unless the dagger is eternal in which case u want to ankh the dagger and nothing else

[acoustic kettle]

Why would you sell duo

[sleek shore]

( -hand size not good with shoot the moon

[opal delta]

because its stm??

[fickle mesa]

almost none of these besides riff raff are relevant

[unreal island]

dagger eat dagger, mmm yummy good

[unreal island]

eh i use ankh with dagger just to scale dagger

its just funny to see

[acoustic kettle]

Wha

[sleek shore]

I love it when ankh hits my non enternal madness

[unreal island]

i'd rather hex it tho if its standalone/eternal
