[fleet rose]

[barren wigeon]

[mystic arch]

DW, we all start somewhere

[barren wigeon]

[low fog]

[potent tree]

you don't rely that much on mime do you? rest of this you can just facetank

keep mime i mean

do a discard for burnt upgrades

[fleet rose]

yeah i got this game Literally today. so im just trying to get out of "Starter" phase

[pale wolf]

depends on scoring situation

[potent tree]

[low fog]

[potent tree]

[low fog]

verdant leaf is a skill issue

[mystic arch]

I didn't really have anything else to copy tbh

[low fog]

[barren wigeon]

you didnt get a single other tarot card

[potent tree]

Stupidly, I will admit that

[mystic arch]

Lucky you then

[mystic arch]

Brainstorm

[pale wolf]

what is it

[gloomy leaf]

do I not love a Baron 😈

[pale wolf]

he'll no

[low fog]

i hate the plant bro

[mystic arch]

Baron isnt that useful if youre not making a run centered around it I believe

[placid quartz]

level 11 full house already too

[mystic arch]

KILL THE PLANT

[pale wolf]

It's not that he isn't useful if you're not going for him, it's that he's useless even if you try to use him from the start

[placid quartz]

(two dupe tags and a lucky orbit)

[ember turtle]

i do not like playing around shoot the moon

[pale wolf]

stm is ez

[ember turtle]

but i admit it can be very fucking powerful

unlike baron

[pale wolf]

my most recent stm run

[mystic arch]

Should I sleep or get on Balatro?

[ember turtle]

what's the time + how much time did you sleep last time

[heady narwhal]

i love playing around stm

it's my #1 favorite joker

[mystic arch]

10 pm + like 4 hours

[ember turtle]

waow

[mystic arch]

But tomorrow is an easy day anyways

[ember turtle]

oof, i suggest sleeping if you have to get up early

[mystic arch]

And after that is winter break

I kinda do tbh

[mint jetty]

"Yes! Another gold stick- oh wait"

[pale wolf]

if the boss blind is Crimson heart they have the chance of either ride the bus getting disabled, and therefore not being able to reset, or peridolia being disabled and not resetting ride the bus

[low fog]

istg i ALWAYS get a wee joker in my packs, if it doesn't appear here i'm ragequittign

[mint jetty]

Wait, it is

[pale wolf]

so it's still worth taking over satellite

[mint jetty]

I'll try

[pale wolf]

and if you're forced to reset ride the bus you just sell pare

[mint jetty]

No way

[pale wolf]

absolutely goated

oh also constellation is in the wrong spot

and mime

[minor portal]

maybe constellation is pinned

[dense kraken]

I won with egg truly peak

[pale wolf]

lol what

[minor portal]

the joker is stuck

[mint jetty]

It worked!!

[mystic arch]

Hear me out on riff raff +ceremonial dagger

[pale wolf]

That's a thing in a single challenge deck

[minor portal]

No other explanation for it being there

[pale wolf]

very cool

[mint jetty]

I was scaling bus

[pale wolf]

this one's for the books

[mint jetty]

Thats why

[pale wolf]

You should take a screenshot on the cash out screen with ride the bus not reset

[minor portal]

evil bus joker

[mystic arch]

ESPECIALLY if riff raff gives egg

[pale wolf]

💯

[mint jetty]

[sinful plaza]

what's the better one instead of lucky card

[dawn forge]

GOLD STICKER POPCORN

[sinful plaza]

is it it glass

[dire crater]

There are zombies on our lawn

[frail oriole]

grats

must be annoying to get

popcorn is the fastest disappearing one right?

[hearty tundra]

Yeah

[dawn forge]

yeah i had mail and rebate so i just swapped it

[barren wigeon]

chad has almost double the rest of my jokers

[barren wigeon]

rounds that is

[potent tree]

me when i get yorick and 0 +mult jokers to use it with

[distant vault]

Black deck too easy

[dawn forge]

goated

i beat black deck w this

[candid niche]

sell the Hex and get the Herman?

what's the play here?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

buffoon

[sinful plaza]

@crystal field is this good

wai

do I try get a better jokers and which one

[terse vale]

buffoon ya

[tall mango]

Possibly replace drivers license with glass joker, it will prob scale with all those glass kings

[sinful plaza]

if I can find that

[tall mango]

Yeah

[sinful plaza]

I don't think I have that unlocked

[tall mango]

Oh

I think this run unlocked it since you need at least five glass cards in your deck to unlock it

Or sock and buskin

[candid niche]

generally what is the best order to open packs/buy things from shop?

[terse vale]

ohhh i’m saved

as muchh as I do wanna take the saturn tho I cant

[mint jetty]

30% chance

🤡

[sinful plaza]

@tall mango who do I replace

hlep

[candid niche]

idk if i should hold onto this round 2 Egg. he's made me like $80 of Temperance money

[sinful plaza]

is it worth to keep duping the mars

or only make death

[tall mango]

Replace the to do list

[sinful plaza]

my time is ticking with each ante

[tall mango]

Dupe death unless you have the observatory voucher

[sinful plaza]

I get e12 right now

so much yet no

[tall mango]

Dang

[sinful plaza]

does upgrading 4oak make a whole of a difference

[distant vault]

Black deck TOO EASY

[tall mango]

I mean it’s already at like level 75 right?

[sinful plaza]

it's level 88

[tall mango]

Oh dang it makes a small difference

[sinful plaza]

do I just dupe the death

[tall mango]

Yeah that seems like the best way to go

[sinful plaza]

how do u get huge hand sizes

[tall mango]

You mean every round or just one round

[sinful plaza]

every round

mime can retrigger stuff and if I have more stuff I get more score

[uncut matrix]

dna

[sinful plaza]

the deck though

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[uncut matrix]

copies of dna or serpent with burglar

[tall mango]

Whyy bloodstone can lead fun combos

[tall mango]

Yeah that is what I do

[serene forge]

play high card

[uncut matrix]

ignore this person its a ragebaiter

[sinful plaza]

level 3 high card w/l?

[serene forge]

uhhh that won't work probably

but now you know

[sinful plaza]

level 88 4oak 😎😎

[tall mango]

He already has 4oak at level 88 so high card won’t work

[thick junco]

Pirates

It's time

Buy NOW

[uncut matrix]

high card would add 3 more hand size which is huge

level it up and start playing that

[tall mango]

Yeah most ppl in this server already have Balatro

[serene forge]

of course there's no real need to optimize at this point of a run

[sinful plaza]

what do I do with this

[thick junco]

I might buy, I'm stuck in the Apple Arcade version

[thick junco]

Cry

[tall mango]

Oh yeah that’s true

[hallow zenith]

How do I not cook this run; my scoring is shit and I cannot find anything

[thick junco]

I mean, if Apple Arcade games don't leave Apple Arcade, I might not buy

[sinful plaza]

I have glass card red poly kings

[candid niche]

i love almost losing to a boss, not because the effect, but because of bad draw luck

[tall mango]

Yeah since you only have like 7 steel cards replace mime at least that’s what I would do

[sinful plaza]

mime is for steel

[uncut matrix]

are you scoring >= 3x the requirement

[sinful plaza]

the glass joker could get bigger

[uncut matrix]

if yes you can drop license

[sinful plaza]

I get e12 on 900m is that enough

[uncut matrix]

if you can get glass to catch up im not sure

[tall mango]

I mean if you have bad luck then glass joker is the one to get 🤷‍♀️

[uncut matrix]

honestly drop perk

if glass will grow

[serene forge]

double stuntman really isn't winning?

[sinful plaza]

I forgot perk is useless for mult

I need for death tho

[uncut matrix]

its a risk reward deal cuz yea ^

just get purple seals

[sinful plaza]

Do I bother with the Mars

I don't wanna dupe Mars anymore

[uncut matrix]

dupe death

anyways you have a perk regardless

you just only have 2 instead of 3

i think that’s not too bad

[bleak blaze]

Thats one hot banana

[sinful plaza]

is blueprint in right position

or should it be left of the family

[fleet rose]

... this souds like a deck annihilating joke

[uncut matrix]

hologram growth ^

[potent tree]

hologram fr

[uncut matrix]

calculate how much xmult you get

[fleet rose]

Funny, it showed up WITH hologram but i cant get both.

[thick junco]

Guys I'm so confused please gimme advice.
I play Balatro on the Apple Arcade version, and I'm worried it's gonna get removed in the next year or two, and I'm thinking of buying the PC version, but I don't want my progress to reset and I don't wanna drop 12$ of a game I can only play at home when I can easily play Balatro+ on the go. Do I buy or nah?

[fleet rose]

yeah. pain ig

[uncut matrix]

4*1.5*4*3 vs 4*4*1.5*4*2 if i did the math right

[sinful plaza]

so is mime better?

[uncut matrix]

left is mime right is 4oak copy

looks like 4oak is better

right? or am i stupid

alc is making me math less

[sinful plaza]

idk but

[uncut matrix]

oh dub

[sinful plaza]

glass is at 4.75

[uncut matrix]

already past license

youre good

[hidden lance]

and also underrated combo with vampire

[uncut matrix]

true

lets have both

[candid niche]

world's dumbest build

[lament smelt]

i did it

high card superiority

[sinful plaza]

is this better and for what

[uncut matrix]

erm

[karmic garnet]

I haven't gotten the chance to make a bunch of steel but lucky cards seem to be my best friend rn ( the cat still refuses to show in my runs)

[sinful plaza]

I'm playing 4 red steel poly Kings

my head hurts

this is the farthest I've gotten by a mile

[long oxide]

Rip

[sinful plaza]

do yu lose when you run out of cards

[long oxide]

Nss

[sinful plaza]

rip

[neat ore]

Joker idea! Gains plus 4 mult for each mult card in ya deck

[candid niche]

#⚙・modding-general

is it time for Ecto?

[sinful plaza]

then it eats up all your jokers and destroys itself

set money to 0

[neat ore]

I can't play moded balatro I'm on ps4

[candid niche]

yeah its a mod concept

make a mod idea with that concept

that's what i do

i make up stupid ideas and post them there

[sinful plaza]

is there a dna deck

[neat ore]

Earn 7 dollars for each ecto you use

[candid niche]

no

anyway

[sinful plaza]

there should be a dna deck you start with 46 cards of two different random suits

[candid niche]

and i got a chad to print even more money with lucky cards

[sinful plaza]

and dna joker

[candid niche]

Golden Ticket crying rn

[sinful plaza]

does the dice make glass cards break less

[brazen island]

Yeah but I’m not in any kind of rush to get it lol

[neat ore]

Need a lucky cat

[candid niche]

it makes it guaranteed

[candid niche]

ive been hunting for one

[brazen island]

Yellow deck rework
It’s piss
It’s all piss

[candid niche]

Baseball Bill isnt doing much for me

[sinful plaza]

so it breaks glass 💀💀😭😭😭

[candid niche]

yeah with 2 oops the 1/4 becomes 4/4

its really late for lucky cat though

[brazen island]

Everyone talks about photochad, everyone ignoring its superior older brother, goldsealchad

[candid niche]

i dont think i can scale it past Baseball in time

[candid niche]

you can't make this up

[neat ore]

The dice is very speculative

[candid niche]

(but my run is centered around lucky foil 10s, so photo is useless)

oh baller

[brazen island]

The photograph will imbue your heart with the density of its sins portrayed. Maintain lightness and prosper before the scales of ra

[candid niche]

my wheel of fortune always hits

[wintry ice]

weaker abandoned with +4 start cash

[brazen island]

Chat is always deadest when I drop the most fire chat messages

[fading mango]

what... i just drew 3 cards at the start

new game and got 3 cards

WAIT what...

i only have 3 hand size

wtf

[brave fox]

I finally managed to get the obelisk to work out lol, that was really fun

[brazen island]

Drop the seed when u die. Might be a bugged one

[fading mango]

KGUVCRHW

here

[brazen island]

Unless it’s modded

[fading mango]

na its unmodded

wait i just tried it again

[brazen island]

Worked fine for me that’s weird

[fading mango]

i tried it again and got 3 hand size on the same seed

i wanna work this out

[fading mango]

you doing gold stake

im doing that rn

nevermind, im like genuinnly confused

[brazen island]

White and gold work for me normally

I’m on mobile rn tho so maybe that’s why

[candid niche]

i accidentally used an Immolate and cut a lot of my important cards :(

[fading mango]

hmm maybe

[candid niche]

and now it ends

RIP Gamblecore run

[fading mango]

o7

[wintry ice]

smods issue

restart the game

[candid niche]

but i unlocked black stake on ghost deck so

[sinful plaza]

I died

I forgot about the mouth 😭😭

[brazen island]

Worth it every time

[fading mango]

i dont have any mods currently on but i have them disabled in game, would that still be the case?

[wintry ice]

yeah

[fading mango]

ah i see

[brazen island]

Easier to add new/ make good cards than remove any at all

[wintry ice]

it's an issie with the api itself

[fading mango]

makes sense

man now im sad i did not find a crazy bugged seed

[hearty tundra]

Can you even find antimatter before ante 9?

[brazen island]

You can find it ante 2

[brazen island]

Actually you can find it ante 1

[marsh compass]

I want to sell something to use the soul but I can’t!

[sinful plaza]

who is he?

[hearty tundra]

Ceres

Play a flush house

[brazen island]

Sell drivers license if u really want the legendary

[sinful plaza]

ok

[marsh compass]

That times 3 though I need it

[hearty tundra]

Weird, idk if ive ever seen it early before almost every time ive bought blank its never shown up

[graceful shard]

[brazen island]

It’s only a x3, the photograph and retriggers is x32

[brazen island]

The only way to get it ante 1 is with heiroglyph/ante 0 shenanigans

[wintry ice]

tier 2 vouchers are rare

[brazen island]

It has an equal chance of showing up as any other voucher once blank has been bought. It’s just because it’s tier 2 and the voucher pool is bigger than it seems

[wintry ice]

specially antimatter for me since i don't take blank often

[sinful plaza]

I've never got antimatter before lol

[marsh compass]

Got perko

[brazen island]

Antimatter is frequently kind of useless anyway

[hearty tundra]

I mean it definitely makes sense why its so rare, it just feels like i havent seen it in forever

[brazen island]

It’s as rare as any other voucher

Any other tier 2 voucher* which is half of them

[fleet rose]

... im trying jumbo.
admitidly this is the furthest ante i've gotten to and it was a 2 pair deck.

[brazen island]

Deadest I’ve ever seen this chat

Where are the discussions at today

Gotta interject with my asinine takes somewhere

[fleet rose]

idk. im just showing my balatro runs and showing things i find interesting

[brazen island]

Sorry king I wasn’t talking about u

Just meant there are usually more people here

[blissful scroll]

Nice job

[brazen island]

Yeah good job dawg ‼️‼️

[potent tree]

did bro say jumbo

[fleet rose]

Keyboard messed up

i have to literally Copy paste r

[brazen island]

Yeah he talkin bout yo mama

[wraith cloud]

so I'm looking for some odd assets and I was wondering if anyone could help me:

editions for jokers are done via shaders but I need to display an edition directly in an image... has anyone base a transparent overlay that I can just drag on top of another image for the 3 main editions (negative obviusly wouldn't work)

[broken spear]

only 2 achievements

[wraith cloud]

I noticed the wiki uses somethings like that for the edition pages

[brazen island]

The modding chat is more likely to be able to help you out

[deft panther]

I'm bad at balatro

[marsh needle]

5 new gold stickers all at once!!! Also magic deck gold stake ggs

[distant vault]

Same

[deft panther]

Badlatro

[distant vault]

Prickly on

[marsh needle]

popcorn gold sticker is huge

[distant vault]

Obelisk denier

[pale wolf]

i terraria

[deft panther]

Polychrome Vagabond looks metal as hell

[marsh needle]

first ante pickup i was so hype

Used hex on the dude

Also a no xmult win haha

[deft panther]

Vagabizzle with the polychrizzle

[pale wolf]

this is what the balatro calc site uses

[deft panther]

Polychrome Vagabond:

[pale wolf]

its not perfect tho

[marsh needle]

W/ the help of trading card i got this

[marsh needle]

Yeah yeah but no xmult joker

[deft panther]

I've become an Ancient Joker believer

[marsh needle]

Ancient is awesome

[wraith cloud]

excellent, polychrome isn't transparent but that's the only one I don't actually need

[marsh needle]

Just dont deckfix to a single suit

[brave fox]

Aight yall we taking shots for every time we gotta play a face card

[marsh needle]

and spec into retriggers

[deft panther]

I was an ancient Joker doubter and now I'm in shambles

[distant vault]

Fortune teller really be the goat

[marsh needle]

buy lovers whenever u can

[deft panther]

Smeared Joker + Ancient Joker is how I finally beat gold stake on green deck

Second gold stake deck I've got now

[distant vault]

Which other

[deft panther]

Checkered which was first

[distant vault]

Same

[deft panther]

Got checkered to gold stake and beat it then got Green Deck to gold stake and beat it

[brave fox]

Smeared with ancient joker slaps pretty hard

[distant vault]

First ever win was with green, first gold win was with checkered

[deft panther]

Now I can justify never playing green deck again

[marsh needle]

My first gold was yellow deck :3

[distant vault]

Yellow is the best deck

[brave fox]

Im trying to get my 1st gold rn

[marsh needle]

its a fun one for sure

[deft panther]

How much stronger would Green Deck be if it was $2 per unused discard

[brave fox]

With this zodiac deck

[marsh needle]

2 left!

[distant vault]

Idk someone will lose their shit and call it unbalanced over that $1

[deft panther]

Probably

[marsh needle]

Green deck went smoothly for me but i think i just got lucky builds

[distant vault]

Nebula: start with one voucher, has downside. Zodiac: start with 3 vouchers, no downside

Nebula so bad

[marsh needle]

Green deck was almost exclusively pairspam builds for me ahhaha

[tulip pond]

green deck will function differently post blue stake rework

[potent tree]

of all the bosses i could roll off of VV, this was the worst. but yorick once again pulls through

[deft panther]

I had horrendous luck with green deck in my gold stake and orange stake attempts

[distant vault]

Thats why yorick is the best

[deft panther]

I felt like I was being trolled on green deck with Orange Stake

[marsh needle]

Rick: yo

[deft panther]

Would just have runs where I never got any jokers

Or I would get jokers that are functionally not doing anything on their own

Like Mime or Oops 6s

[distant vault]

Ante 1 eternal rental egg

[marsh needle]

Trio is so good bro hell yeah

[distant vault]

Trio was my third to last sticker

[brazen island]

It would be unbalanced because of the additional dollar + fuck you + I am tying your karma eternally and intrinsically to the suffering of a thousand newborn lambs simmering at the feet of a mountain melted by the thunders of heaven’s fury

[warm kindle]

problem is u gotta play three of a kind and up

which is rare at least for me

[brazen island]

Heater message +2

[marsh needle]

Whattt i be playing 3oak and stuff

[distant vault]

I wish tags excluded rentals

[warm kindle]

I normally go for pairs or two pairs

[marsh needle]

Good on erratic deck and magic deck at least

Which is what ive been playing recently

I like using the fools to copy strength

[distant vault]

Pairs

[potent tree]

welp rip run, yorick x10

[marsh needle]

very good for straights or 4oak depending on what ur feeling

[distant vault]

Welcome to gold stake

[marsh needle]

Skip… skip.. for … red card value >_<

[distant vault]

Skip for my sanity

Shit ass baffoon pack

[marsh needle]

Main menu -> new run for ur sanity

[jade arch]

Okay, question. What happens if I just...

[distant vault]

Yup

[jade arch]

Will it work?

[marsh needle]

Yip!

Oops

Yup

[distant vault]

Sixth sense will destroy riff raff

Yes

[brazen island]

I see nothing wrong with this, take jimbo and go on with your day

[jade arch]

I mean like, will DNA copy the 6 before it's destroyed?

So like, infinite spectrals?

[tulip pond]

yeah

[deft panther]

You're the first person who's been honest with me in a long time. I respect that.

[south palm]

Ante 0

What

[marsh needle]

Burger?

❓

Also omg scholar still has 0 sticker

[deft panther]

Bro acting like he didn't just buy the hieroglyph voucher

[wintry ice]

i'd maybe take faceless

[marsh needle]

Perhaps true…

[wintry ice]

wasteful is also there after the big blind

(if you get the money without dying)

[marsh needle]

Ended up building my whole run so far around it

[wintry ice]

awesome

[marsh needle]

Does mime retrigger hit the road

Or faceless

[brazen island]

What if we added 50 incrementally larger blinds between the little blind and the big blind that don’t let you scale your jokers or give you money or shops or access any resources

[marsh needle]

poker

[brazen island]

Balala

What if we made Balatro but it’s multiplayer and doesn’t have the jokers and involves real money and maybe we call it balala circumcision circle

[pale wolf]

what is wrong with you?

that's not a normal thing to say

[brazen island]

When I was five years old I drank six ounces of yellow printer ink and the doctor says it dissolved a sixteenth of my frontal lobe

On the bright side my uvula shines like the sun now

[marsh needle]

Idk what to sell for that invis

Do i really have to sell gay banana… noooo…

[brazen island]

Sell the guy standing behind you in the blue raincoat

[marsh needle]

okayyy

[brazen island]

He’s worth $3 but don’t bring it up it hurts his self esteem

[heady narwhal]

do you need invis?

[marsh needle]

Itd be so awesome

[heady narwhal]

best case it's another duo and you can get x2 just by rerolling

[marsh needle]

Best case is another hit the road

Im scaling it a lot per round

[hidden lance]

pulled a vagabond out of the wraith hahaha

[heady narwhal]

either way i don't think it's worth it unless you're not getting through vv without it

[green apex]

holy i sniped the balatrodle today

||cloud-9 -> hit the road||

[marsh needle]

My god this run is going insane look at this gameplay 😭

This is peak (trigger warning: not playing perfectly optimally lol)

[opal delta]

god I wish I could buy balatro on my phone

[long oxide]

I've gotten chicot 4 times in a row

[opal delta]

I dont have my wallet right now though

[long oxide]

Don't do it, it will consume u

[long oxide]

Lol

[fiery nymph]

🤤

[candid niche]

this is stupid

[opal delta]

it consumed me on apple

[long oxide]

Same sadly

[opal delta]

now it will consume me on android

[long oxide]

You must resist

[sand lily]

So this is probably a known bug...but what is the deal?

I just started this run

[tranquil cargo]

wow, zodiac deck is even worse than I remember

[sand lily]

I don't understand why I only draw 3 cards

[tranquil cargo]

are you running any mods?

[sand lily]

Only "stickers always shown"

[marsh needle]

Hell yeah dawg

[candid niche]

lusty is doing literally nothing. if only i could get an ecto

[marsh needle]

I dont think i even take it 😭

[dry sail]

What y'all doing in this situation?

[marsh needle]

cryptid jack is much better i think

[marsh needle]

Win

[tranquil cargo]

half joker

ik blueprint is the best joker in the game but this early on, gimme that +20 mult

[marsh needle]

lol

you wouldnt surely

[fiery nymph]

highkey crypt

[marsh needle]

Yupp

more jakcs

Wish i had more discards :(

[fiery nymph]

it would probably just disable the boss blind anyways

[dry sail]

I love constellation and getting it ante 2 lets me ramp it quick, while blueprint is so much better in many situations, I feel constellation is safer

[marsh needle]

Havent faced plant yet

Plant is run over but i have money so i can at least try to search luchador or get some glass

[fiery nymph]

ante 12 black stake? 👀

[marsh needle]

i have like +400 mult with triple flash card hahahaha

[abstract rivet]

Blueprint is a 2x at worst

Assuming you have at least 1 scoring joker of course

[marsh needle]

Constellation needs money which you cant quite assure, blueprint assures money via easy wins which will allow you to buy good jokers like constellation later

I take bp

[candid niche]

Verdant Leaf forced me to get rid of Space Joker....

[abstract rivet]

You get 5 money in interest normally

And theres likely to be a planet pack

Or better yet, blue seal

[fiery nymph]

idk imo constellation is still one of the most consistent scalers i know

[marsh needle]

In an ante 1 pack with a decent scorer in my slots

I take bp not constellation i think

[fiery nymph]

i used it a lot with blue seals

[fiery nymph]

yeah constellation doesnt scale fast enough for me to be comfy with it

with bp you could really get any +mult and glide through some antes

[uncut slate]

constellation needs money
the insidious blue seal:

[fiery nymph]

but they got a point about it not being super strong early antes

you may not have a blue seal or enough money

[uncut slate]

yeah it's not very useful until you have a good amount of +mult already

[fiery nymph]

yep

[marsh needle]

One of my fav builds ive ever done

+196 flash card

[faint linden]

Might win the dumbest run I've ever had. Plasma Deck with Blue, Foil Runner, Shortcut, Negative Swashbuckler, Holographic Card Sharp, and Polychrome The Trio

Won Ante 8 Small Blind in 1 hand

[marsh needle]

This deck FIXED

[vital tree]

ok

[soft vapor]

Do I take the bait

You never know what's in the buffoon pack

[marsh needle]

21 dollars? Can’t be bait

Buy both

[soft vapor]

Oh right

[marsh needle]

If no scoring, buy saturn

[soft vapor]

I forgot im on yellow deck

Hmm

I think we take the misprint

[marsh needle]

Wasteful voucher came back 🙏

[marsh needle]

Misprint and blueprint will keep u chilling for the first 2-3 antes

[soft vapor]

Now this is interesting

Yeah sure

[marsh needle]

Got plant’d

Somehow even with all that, i couldnt find any luchador or mr bones

good run

+284 flash card

[marsh needle]

Woah

Awesome

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[dense stag]

thank you for giving me 2 ourple seals on the boss blind where i HAVE NO DISCARDS

[nova junco]

Idk why but I seem to find brainstorm 5 times more often than blueprint

[humble hound]

Spent 3 hrs on black deck and lost every time. I'm cooked

[opal delta]

me too!!!

[rancid gull]

what's with the bloodstone hate?

[dense stag]

i lost because on my first round with dusk because i was dum dum and didnt look properly on my hands

[nova junco]

White stake?

[humble hound]

gold

[nova junco]

Yeah it's rough

[humble hound]

🥲

[rancid gull]

I honestly don't remember how I did black deck gold stake

[nova junco]

I won that one but I absolutely did not deserve it the seed was unreal

[rancid gull]

But I remember hating every moment of it

[marsh needle]

nooo my 3 winstreak

i never lose on accident bruh

i thought that would win

was not in danger

[humble hound]

rng has been the biggest issue
cause ive had some solid decks building up and still lost

[rancid gull]

C+ is more miserable to do than C++

[marsh needle]

Im almost done with c+

[rancid gull]

I have nothing but hatred for Nebula

[nova junco]

I think the key to understanding black deck gold stake is knowing what risks you can afford to take and what you can't which is surely a lot less than other decks

[nova junco]

SAME

[marsh needle]

That’s the last one

For me

[nova junco]

I only have plasma and erratic left which look like they're on the easier side

[marsh needle]

Im doing my 2nd to last rn

i did plasma and erratic earlier

[rancid gull]

Honestly erratic is so fun

[marsh needle]

Erratic is fun

[pale wolf]

i understand black gold
i just dont win it

[rancid gull]

I just reroll until I have 12 of one card

restart i mean

[humble hound]

i definitely don't know 100% but i try to use things i learned from balatro uni

[rancid gull]

erratic is fun

[marsh needle]

Black gold is dumb and i just got a lucky run to carry me to win it

[marsh needle]

Either many of one card, easy straights, lots of one suit

[brazen island]

It’s bad

[marsh needle]

Its nice :3

[rancid gull]

I like bloodstone a lot

[nova junco]

I uhhhhhh rerolled enough and found a seed that was basically impossible to lose so yeah c: im not looking back

[rancid gull]

Not like the best joker ever

but it's neat

[humble hound]

its a shame seeded runs don't count lmao

i might just try another deck to finish

[nova junco]

If you wanna look it should be in this chat from like yesterday

[jade arch]

What do you guys think of my deck fixing?

[nova junco]

🪴

[serene forge]

I hate Blodostone

[nova junco]

I love bloodstone

[rancid gull]

i like bloodstone

[jade arch]

Well I'm very lucky

[brazen island]

It is the shrapnel trapped in the stomach of a soldier, festering, rusting over, infecting the flesh of its host as it degrades, like a parasite that takes nothing from its host, instead choosing to destroy itself for the sole, defiled purpose of destroying another with it

[marsh needle]

Woah

[brazen island]

I hate bloodstone

[marsh needle]

Rebate andy drunkard

[untold onyx]

Bloodstone is just a boring and unreliable joker to take without OA6, it's like a lucky card but if you relied on your lucky cards for xMult

[nova junco]

EXACTLY

the thrill of the gamble

[terse vale]

[deft panther]

I'm about to lose this run if I don't change something what do I do

[jade arch]

This is a poker game

[deft panther]

Would love if discord could pull its head out of its ass long enough to send my screenshot

[jade arch]

If you don't gamble it all, are you playing correctly?

[terse vale]

ya

[jade arch]

Fuck I lost

My life savings... gone

[untold onyx]

Just win them back smh

[jade arch]

My student loans...

[untold onyx]

Just win them back smh my head

[terse vale]

this aint even poker you joker

[humble hound]

you gotta kill balatro

[untold onyx]

We have to kill John Balatro, hop on the 'copper

[paper echo]

g

gamzee

[humble hound]

oh no the homestuck are gathering

[paper echo]

better run away

[untold onyx]

To be read in the voice of duke nukem wearing a clown costume

[terse vale]

boooo

[covert storm]

Hello where can I go for Balatro advice

[rancid gull]

Here lol

What do you need advice on

[covert storm]

Cool cool cool

[untold onyx]

What are you struggling on?

[paper echo]

why is gamzee addicted to balatro

[untold onyx]

Well, you're not struggling!

[rancid gull]

Yes egg sell value transaltes to more swashbuckler

[covert storm]

I’m still new to Balatro I’m on black chip but I was thinking of selling the left flush joker for the egg

[rancid gull]

yes

wait

[untold onyx]

That's an unwieldy amount of negatives

[rancid gull]

It's ante 7

not worth it imo

[covert storm]

I swear this is my first time

[covert storm]

That’s what I’m thinking but the flush is just a flat 10

[rancid gull]

if you found egg like 4 antes ago, I think it would be worth

but it's too late

[nova junco]

Egg is always worth

[humble hound]

[covert storm]

I for the LOVE OF me could not get more flush planet cards and hangman cards

Would it be funny if I did a poll

[rancid gull]

at least you got some glass

[covert storm]

Also appreciate the help

[untold onyx]

Word of advice, move your xMult jokers to the right

[covert storm]

I wanted to get a flush 5 never got that unlocked ever

[untold onyx]

Your hologram is least effective all the way to the left

[covert storm]

I thought I did, which one did I not do

[rancid gull]

Yeah, that's true

You got drivers license too

move that to the right

is that a natural negative license?

[covert storm]

You’re SO right thank you king

[covert storm]

I got it from the negative skip, but I only have 6 enhanced card so it’s not perking

I got a lot of jokers but they are lacking synergy

[untold onyx]

You'll do fine, with your xMult to the right you can surely clear this, and that finisher blind is basically doing nothing with how many options it has

[covert storm]

Okay

[vocal rose]

no skipping from now on

[covert storm]

So don’t by the egg and just push through 🫡

[covert storm]

Why what’s up

[vocal rose]

skipping is a huge detriment to your runs if you're trying to win

99% of times you will be affected negatively

[covert storm]

I got lucky and got a double tag twice and got a neg, so I end up getting THREE negs

You guys want the seed

Also if I could what should I replace my Droll Joker with

[covert storm]

I’ll keep that in mind

[tranquil steppe]

That setup is really fun on anaglyph. You can end up with like 8+ negatives

[covert storm]

I have 5 right now

[tranquil steppe]

Yea that’s really cool for non anaglyph

[covert storm]

I GOT super lucky right now, I chucked my money hard on rerolls and got three Jupiters

[opal delta]

hi

[sly bolt]

hello chat I'm pretty new to the game, how do I unlock the scribbled joker?

[covert storm]

Hello hello

[covert storm]

You mean brainstorm? Or am I wrong

[sly bolt]

idk the name

[covert storm]

The one that’s drawn on a napkin

[sly bolt]

it looks like a tissue with scribbles on it

[covert storm]

Oh for that it’s pretty easy, discard a royal flush

[sly bolt]

that sounds hard :<

[covert storm]

Nah nah, you end up seeing them, a decent amount of time. It also helps with going into a game with the mindset of just getting brainstorm and not winning

[sly bolt]

:<

[covert storm]

Because royal flush hits hard

Last question from me guys

[candid niche]

who dies for the Soul?

[wary isle]

one of my joker packs had a shoot the moon in it

abandoned deck run

[sly bolt]

smiley

[candid niche]

RIP mr happy then

[sly bolt]

also, copy photograph instead

[candid niche]

yeah but i want to milk money from lucky cards

[sly bolt]

lest you get trib

[covert storm]

Why not photograph

[sly bolt]

yeah fair enough

[covert storm]

I thought it pops only once

[candid niche]

sock & buskin let me get more money

[sly bolt]

if you're scoring well enough, might as well

[candid niche]

we're winning

[sly bolt]

now that's the one you should be copying if you want higher scores

oh wait nvm you're in endless

🤢

[covert storm]

OH MY

[covert storm]

Lmfaoooooo

[sly bolt]

endless mode is lame

the only use of endless is for post amber acorn screenshots

[candid niche]

ridiculous

[sly bolt]

you'll easily get into the e's

[candid niche]

i like big number though

[sly bolt]

me too but endless mode is just so boring

[craggy arch]

i’m pretty new to the game and i was wondering if hands stack in this game like if i played a full house would that also proc three of a kind pair etc

[candid niche]

zero ectos on ghost deck with omen globe is crazy though

[sly bolt]

nope

it'll only score as a full house

[candid niche]

well i hit e11

[sly bolt]

tho jokers will proc if requirements are met

[candid niche]

alr bro

who dies now?

[sly bolt]

graph

photo

100%

[candid niche]

alright RIP polaroid

[sly bolt]

it will be chicot

[deft panther]

Every time I beat the final boss blind I start a new run

[sly bolt]

based

[candid niche]

oh well, at least the plant cant ruin my run

....you were right

[sly bolt]

I knew it

I'm psychic

[covert storm]

What a goat

[candid niche]

we got an ecto though

maybe photo comes back

[sly bolt]

chicot is literally the best for boss blinds

tf did I just say there

[untold onyx]

I love chicot

[soft oxide]

chicot is the best boss blind

[sly bolt]

I agree

[deft panther]

This run is gonna die if I don't change something what should I do

[covert storm]

I have a question as well if you all don’t mind, my boss bind is all jokers are hidden and shuffled, but I can buy the director cut voucher…. Should I

[sly bolt]

what if chicot was a boss blind tho...

[candid niche]

disables your buttons

[sly bolt]

unreal

[covert storm]

Start spending your money on the rerolls

[candid niche]

i mean, i guess chicot is the 2nd best joker i could have gotten, since the petroglyph voucher eats my discard (sorry rick) and my build is face cards played (sorry canio)

....perkeo would be baller

[covert storm]

Watch you get it next

[deft panther]

I don't know what joker I should look for to save the run

[sly bolt]

aight gtg

bye chat

[deft panther]

Tarot joker and red card are both at about +40

[candid niche]

go sleep restfully

[covert storm]

Let’s see if the Balatro experts would know

[covert storm]

Any advice on this

[craggy arch]

so if i’m playing a high card run i js only play 1 card?

[wary isle]

Why am I seeing Face card related jokers in the shop, it is an ABANDONED deck run

[deft panther]

For high card you want something like Hanging Chad to retrigger your single card multiple times

[wary isle]

so this is what it feels like to have ride the bus and paredolia at the same, active anti synergy

[candid niche]

> abandoned deck
> looks inside
> photochad

[wary isle]

there is a surprising amount of anti synergistic combinations in this game actually

[lavish ridge]

this is what skill looks like

a skilled player gets these as their first 5 jokers every time

[quaint token]

6/7 jokers haha

[covert storm]

If I buy brainstorm how should I set it up

[lavish ridge]

sell the joker on the left, put hologram there instead. then put brainstorm on the right

is what i would do

[covert storm]

Thank you club penguin

[wary isle]

Worst Joker Pairings

Vampire Driver’s Licence

Half 2 pair, flush, or straight joker

Paredolia Ride the Bus

Supernova Obelisk

Hack 8Ball

Constellation Red Card

[twin lantern]

wrathful joker op

[pale wolf]

hmmm

ok lets try a run

belue deck ofc

[wary isle]

Imagine winning a run because Mr.Bones went off on the ante 8 boss

[pale wolf]

hmmm

vagabond i suppose

[lavish ridge]

i did that yesterday on the plasma deck. felt amazing

i even skipped the two previous blinds cause i knew it would pop safely

[pale wolf]

JUDGEMENT

[wary isle]

There is one kinda odd complaint that I have about this game

[supple yarrow]

hm?

[wary isle]

It is that some of the jokers are borderline useless without either specific jokers or a ton of deck fixing

[pale wolf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1379214645742796911/1448420733276524554/screen-20251210-160533.mp4?ex=6945be6d&is=69446ced&hm=4d13f3c8ee2096d85a96ee5163049ea396c4d166bb423a913f570585b3ecc7df&

[wary isle]

or in the case of some, actively anti synergistic.

[serene forge]

I hate Swashbuckler

[supple yarrow]

i mean sme jokers exist just for that or to have fun, the game isnt balanced for after ante 8 but most joker combos could make it there with the right play

[twin lantern]

such as?

[supple yarrow]

i mean its negative

[serene forge]

negative and absolutely useless

[pale wolf]

seance comes to mind, and idol

[wary isle]

Paredolia, Vampire, 8Ball, Seance, Superposition

[worn meteor]

vampire is alright

[pale wolf]

uh no these are bad examples

[supple yarrow]

all of those are... really useful...

[serene forge]

vampire lmfao

[worn meteor]

paradolia exists for many synergies

[supple yarrow]

except vampire i hate it)

[ebon zephyr]

holy shit this might be it

i think i finally got it

[twin lantern]

true seance is the worst joker imo

[pale wolf]

superposition is 10000% usable and you have a skill issue

[wary isle]

Vampire without Midas Mask is the worst joker in the game

[worn meteor]

superposition and 8ball are fine

[pale wolf]

not to be taken seriously

[supple yarrow]

what does seance do again?

[pale wolf]

spectrals for strush

[worn meteor]

get a spectral for playing a straight flush

[supple yarrow]

yeah wait no thats a good joker

[worn meteor]

its situationally useful for endless

[supple yarrow]

i always find straight fluses before ante 4 if i have it

[worn meteor]

that's the highest praise i can give it

[rancid gull]

Seance does a whole lot of nothing for me

[supple yarrow]

i really just wanted it for immolate but i got a double perkeo seed out of it recently :P

[twin lantern]

paredolia is pretty niche but is designed to be synergetic with face cards which have powerful effects, vampire is just a decent useable xmult joker, 8ball and superposition are the weakest tarot generators but are still good for being tarot generators, and seance is just bad

[faint linden]

Can Mr. Bones activate on a Finisher?

[rancid gull]

Yes

Mr bones is goated for that

[supple yarrow]

balatro but only win bosses with mr bones

[pale wolf]

[faint linden]

Knowing my luck, Crimson Heart would disable him on the last hand

[supple yarrow]

it would be funny if every blind only had 1 hand aka needle challenge deck

[faint linden]

But you are given a "Skeletal Voucher" in return and Base Blinds are halved

[wary isle]

Seance is awful, that is true

[supple yarrow]

i mean the point is a challenge deck but that WOULD be funny

if only i didnt play balalalala on xbox

[wary isle]

Spectral Cards are the worst between the 3 and needing Straight Flushes hurts

[pale wolf]

8ball and superposition get a lot of hate from people that sell them after singular rounds of inactivity and never get the return on investment

[faint linden]

insert "epic handshake" GIF here

[faint linden]

Easy. Shortcut + Checkered

[pale wolf]

how are spectral cards the worst category lol

[rancid gull]

I love superposition and 8ball

[worn meteor]

no way spectral cards are the worst, immolate and trance are in it

[supple yarrow]

i love early ankh with jokers like blueprint or greedy joker, my favourite

[rancid gull]

those are like the highlights pretty much

lol

and deja vu

[faint linden]

Ouija is pretty decent

[pale wolf]

not to mention ankh hex talisman cryptid etc

[faint linden]

For trips, full houses, quads, and quints

[ebon zephyr]

i might actually have it in the bag

[pale wolf]

the purple seal one

[night turret]

Last run of the night, was there anything I could have done better?

[supple yarrow]

cryptid perkeo is like just op

frfr

[worn meteor]

perkeo is just op frfr

[faint linden]

Sounds like guaranteed Flush Fives after a while

[pale wolf]

early cryptid sucks but mid to late cryptid is awesome

not considering perkeo

[manic talon]

Cryptid in pack when no good cards drawn

[supple yarrow]

using crypid on red seal steel or red seal poly glasses is the best feeling

[faint linden]

I've always been afraid of Glass Cards

[pale wolf]

medium omg

[supple yarrow]

i mean if you have perkeo cryptid or dna + copy joker its mostly fine

[pale wolf]

i literally couldnt rembee

[supple yarrow]

i never get to use glass though because im unlucky

[faint linden]

I've never seen orange or gold with my own eyes as I'm stuck on purple

[manic talon]

Glass is so good, if it breaks it breaks

[supple yarrow]

do u mean stake?

[faint linden]

Yep

[supple yarrow]

ive only ever made it to green

[wary isle]

1 in 4 and having to play A specific rank is not good

[supple yarrow]

and it was on red deck

[pale wolf]

You don't depend on it for survival, it's just value generation

[supple yarrow]

because trib carry black and one before black

[pale wolf]

It's fine generation because it self-justifies, it makes itself better over time

essentially scales

[faint linden]

Imagine Eternal Jokers (like in "15-Minute City"), a Discard just stolen from you, and Green scaling applied again

[novel hound]

just beat green stake with a pretty mainstream combo but it worked

[pale wolf]

glass?

[novel hound]

no actually

[pale wolf]

if not glass you copy photo 🦓

[supple yarrow]

yeah how do ppl even play higher stakes

[novel hound]

tbf i probably would’ve been cooked if i didn’t have blueprint

[supple yarrow]

i only ever get carried by legendaries and photochad with glass

[pale wolf]

yea

maybe not

[supple yarrow]

so i strugle alot

[novel hound]

worked tho

[pale wolf]

depends on glass

[faint linden]

Blue is where the Discard is stolen from you and that's the highest I've ever won

[pale wolf]

i mean yea but

[supple yarrow]

(i think my most used joker by over double is chad)

[pale wolf]

same tho

[manic talon]

Photochad on checkered, even if you dont win in one, you can make 4 flushes with a face card on it pretty reliably

[rancid gull]

Chad is just insanely good

[pale wolf]

Chad is my friend

i overrepresent him

[faint linden]

Mine is Supernova

[supple yarrow]

i mean i only started using pairs within the past 30 games

so supernova i usually skipped

[formal shadow]

photochad or keep building madness its at x4 rn

[supple yarrow]

just find an eternal chad frfr

[formal shadow]

Be For Real .

[supple yarrow]
