4 oak oneshots the entirety of ante 1
why
Why not?
i think that’d be silly
kinda pointless
You're pointless 😥
nuh uh…
I like to do stupid plays on Balatro just to freshen the game up
LIke Anaglyph extra money
then again you unlock throwback by continuing a run from the menu
Gettnig three vouchers?
meh
kinda silly but excusable
You get to do alot of funny stuff with double tags
I did a big brain desperate play once when I got red card and skipped to get like 10 mega celestial packs
And then skipped when I didn't see a pair
Ez 60+ mult
gay banana?
The strongest banana to ever live
bro’s in gay debt
Does this increase the debt?
-$60 dollars was funny
Oh it does
It doesn't
I've never done that cuz I hate Credit Card
ok but having 3 yoricks instead wouldve been fire
I had two Anhks before Yorick
3 gay cards is funnier than 3 yoricks
This run, I can't remember the Seed, but it was hilarious
two ankhs? but then you’d only have 2 ccs
ankh destroys all jokers including copies unless theyre eternal
I found a natural Credit Card with Hex on Ghost Deck, then Anhk twice
Yorick came way later
double ankh doesnt work like that
... wait
so if i replace one of my chads with a sock and buskin will that be better? i have glass red seal king flush fives i play
you would
copy cc
destroy cc and then copy cc again
It doesn't. how did I do it?
probably invisible joker
it's been a while since I did that run
THAT
My bad. It was Invisible Joker!
Ahnk destroys regular jokers, it was Invisible Jokers, but I remember Ghost Deck because I Hexed CC
No, since Photo only activates on the first card, you're only adding one trigger instead of two from a chad
but glass value?
If that were Idol/Trib and you have a deck of only either king or queens, sock is more preferable
You wanna go for glasses already?
now we get to the real question: why did uou hex credit fucking card
Spoiled Banana
Why not?
i have 90 cards and 50 are glass
it sucks
Yeah, why not?
How fixed is your deck?
Is it only one rank?
i have way too much junk like 20 random cards
Has anyone achieved this Crash Out?
Limme find one of my own
holy moly
What the?
Can't find it but I have this
I love it.
Youre the most negative around lol
ive been getting glass in hand and after digging for purples, steels, or blue seals i just dna it 3 times and get a flush five glass
so is sock and buskin better then?
ok whatever im gonna say its better even though i cant do basic math
hi guys. quick question. anyone ever had an issue where some game text has flickering shadows? currently my "hands" text is flashing white and driving me nuts
not me
Bruh
i mean hes cool
please tho anyone know if taking a double hit the road will save my run
is that a negative something???
Constellation
mmm i see
i think my run is already dead, 0 money, 2 hit the roads and 2 commons
hello whats the best order if i wanna play flush five red seal glass kings?
I don't believe in econ
sure would be nice to have a madness eh
Somewhat stable
Damn
mime and baron BACK TO BACK in the shop
holy crap was this close
Very real run
i have a decision to make
purple stake painted deck round 1 shop
foil rebate or shortcut?
Rebate
yea
Foil rebate is insane
i wanna make use of shortcut on a high stake run sometime but it cant compete with that
and a holographic jolly joker in 2nd shop

it's eternal though so i'm MILDLY skeptical of taking it
but nah i think i take it anyway thats an easy +18 mult
If only it is a blueprint instead of brainstorm
AYO A JUDGEMENT GAVE ME BRAINSTORM
KILL KILL KILL KILL
i hate eternal cards so much i just lost a run because of early ankh just killing my brainstorm and copying the stupid eternal i was forced to take earlier
sigh...
skill issue. You got flushes, straight, 3 of a kind even
throw them
make the difference with a pair or two pair
hey random question, what would happen if you had all 5 legendary jokers and found a soul? or would a soul just not show up
It spawns jimbo
FUCK I FORGOT HOW DEATH WORKS AND DELETED A BLUE SEAL
NOOOO
Best Joker Combos Without Blueprint or Brainstorm
10: Vampire Midas
9: Swashbuckler Egg
8: HallucinationOops all 6s
7: Ramen Delayed Gratification
6: Ice Cream Rollback
5: Smeared Seance
4: Wee Hack
3: Sock and Buskin Paredoleia
2: Paredolia Canio
1: Yorick Merry Andy
2/2 chance of tarot card when you open a pack
That's hallucination
without opps it is only 50%
Wrong joker
Hallucination
Not abstract
Ice cream throwback is kinda
Eh
Smeared seance too
my b
Photochad should be up there
Both benefit from playing less blinds
Ice cream because it melts less
Throwback for the scaling
What’s the best strategy for jokerless
Well; there are worse
cough cough 8Ball, Red Card, Joker
Ain't no way
Don’t talk shit about my beloved red card
These were the types of builds noob me would do, its refreshing to walk into a build like that again and play it well
So has anyone beat jokerless?
Straights
Glass cards
Looking for blue seals in packs
But straights aren’t constant
Well
Neither is pair dummy
They scale well

And you can fix for straights
Pair you mean the easiest hand to get
Skipping one pack with Red Card still makes it worse than Joker at only +3. You need to skip 2 for it to have a better mult than Joker and even then you spent more money on packs and did not pick anything from them
i have a very interesting run going on, photochad four of a kind
It makes packs have a guaranteed value
Red Card is easily a bottom 3 joker at best honestly
You are opening packs anyway
bootstraps and flash card are like, comparable and mayyyybe worse than red card
lol
Red card gives you something if the packs whiff
I'd say flashcard is comparable
Spending 4 dollars on a pack just to skip it, if it the first pack you are using to scale the thing still makes it worse than Joker at +3 instead of +4 and that is not counting the money you spent buying it.
But bootstraps below
Yeah the good thing about flashcard counters the bad thing about red card (and dagger, too)
you can only scale it so much
If ur econ is going crazy ur flash card can go way crazier than a red card ever could
Without Midas Vampire is the worst because it does either nothing or has active anti synergy.
but Red Card is down there
vampire isnt the best but it does its job
Actuak white stake
And ive definitely won with vampirw while having no strong synergies like cartomancer / vagabond
You usually open packs anyway
Looking for tarot or planet
If you whiff you get nothing
What is the best deck
With red card if you whiff you get +3 mult
Love playing some erratic deck
Or let me rephrase your favorite deck
Plasma
Same
Even gold is chill
photochad slays on face card dominated erratic
It starts at 0
this is so fun
Well plasma is so different playstyle wise
Luckyyyy waow
If you're used to normal scoring plasma gold is hell
its misleading
It was my first gold
Chips works for ante 8
The mid game transition is mean
On white yes
On gold, rarely
I hate Bloodstone
I mean I used blue joker and did it
You just need the scaling ones
And I had like 85+ cards
Chips never worked for me in gold
Id have like a 140 dollar bull and be struggling
Hanging Chad on top
based
My fellas
You can't make me run straights
Abandoned orang estake done
Postcard my beloved
W eternal negative credit card
i had that exact thing recently and gold stickered my card haha
i believe we call this a "free win moment"
Does anyone not have hanging Chad as most used?
I have red card
(satellite was nat negative and polychrome blueprint came from wheel)
Idk why chad is my most? I use it a lot but ig i just used it more when i was noob
Mine will become rebate or green joker or blueprint with time i bet
rebate #1 for me
supernova #2
chad #3
It’s a free run with photo Chad
Photochad without the photo
soon
chad doesnt do much if you dont have enhanced cards or a photograph
my #1 is red card and #2 is blueprint
it synergizes with a lot of jokers
like a lot of them
chad does a lot more than photograph does
im aware
Or hitchhiker
I'm scaling my wee
even early game when it doesn't have those synergies its still acceptable because its a few extra chips
holy investment
Hitchhiker hanging Chad combo underrated
Aintnoway trib build without the trib????
ikr
Manifesting 100 hot single triboulets to your area
mayb
bottom 5 jokers
Worst: No Midas Vampire
2: Red Card
3: Seance
4: 8Ball
5: Joker
Also im doing similar rn :3
negative runner be like competitive walker
Vampire with midas is good
No way
without Midas the joker is active either nothing or anti synergy
Yeah even on erratic with a great start and lucky deckfixing and good econ
I could only get like
8 ball is not bad
60% my deck to be one card by like ante 6
Tarot gen is never bad
On erratic gold
my deck fixing is better hahaha
I thought the idol would get value but the risk was dumb :(
The anti synergy that vampire has with so many mechanics is sad
thank you negative tag
Yeah this will win but im not going to go into endless with this build
Its refreshing tho
Not the worst
Been too long since ive done retrigger type build
Vampire does its job
burglar mail in is right there
It is the Paladin Monk multiclass of Balatro without Midas - minimal benefit if really any for a mountain of issues and anti synergy in return.
getting a death and a hung man from emperor feels so nice
update makes blue stake give eternal to enhancements on cards
imagine
Not having card enhancements is not the end of the world
i like blue seals
The mult gain is laughably small
best seal in game fr
It is a little low but
have you tried the brown seal
It is nowhere the worst joker
turns your cards into 7s? (which have no special effects other than rtb)
And in order for vampire to not be about as anti synergistic as multiclassing Barbarian with Sorcerer you have to spend a metric ass load of money on Tarot/Spectral cards which give enchantments.
gives poop card enhancement if scored
what does a poop card do good sir
I hate Bloodstone
nothing
Or have midas
i think i got purple stake on it yesterday
Midas vampire got more synergy than my parents
do you think constellation is bad for this reason
or campfire
constellation is probably my most used xmult at this time
Well campfire's scaling is higher
its true that sometimes enhancements are important but if not
even more than cav (and i find that quite a lot)
ill take the scaling
i died with this exact goddamn play to a boss blind that disables all face cards
yeah but the premise is the same
actually what am i saying, driver's license
spend money on tarots to get mult
appears so often for me
i did not get a director's cut sadge
well e12 is my new high score
hitting e is very good
right after i win the game too lmao
i guess i should taken the bean if i knew that this boss blind was gonna kill me
i hit e for the first time on this savefile thanks to double photochad
Constellation has POSITIVE synergy with the mechanics it interacts with, so no
I don’t think it the best, but it is far from the worst
well not exactly
if im never playing the hands im leveling up
chigoat would have saved me
wowie
my first savefile has a high score of e14 thanks to AJ
at ante 9? that's already a perfect hand if you get the mime
no baron
we must go idol
and maybe trib
remove ballet for baron and also photochad for blueprint and showman for another idol if you get it
the sad part is i did not even see lucadhor come my way
much less me taking it if i had known
this will be our best hand yet
our? who's our my guy?
the people im on vc with
absolute cinema
just lost my baron, mime, many steel king, brainstorm run to the plant get your violins folks
oh i see them now
Ballintro
oh you completed my random deck challenge
Bro. Where are my diamonds.
Gone, reduced to atoms
I think two pair with the diamond first wins but that is abysmal
after 15 antes i got the deck fixed
In the deck. Hope this helps.
is it possible for you to lose on the balatrodle website or does it just keep going until you either give up or find out what it is
Drew 8 Hearts
Drew 9 Clubs
Drew 11 Spades
Diamonds?
4️⃣

thats why you dont usually build around flushes
Balatro would never want to draw your hand.
that is NOT why u dont usually build around flushes 😭
maybe thats the case for straights / 4oak / full house
you don't build into flushes because they level like trash
Yupyup
and thats why mr dagger is there
Anyways, next run
-.-
The game is teasing me with this first round
ohhh there are my diamonds they were hidden in the next run
HOLY SET UP BRO
Bro.
Sell showman for showman
already done
Hell yeah.
Anyone played Baba is You recently
best run oat thanks to ecto
best score to die on
round 68 (after 67) and the required e score is e67
the final hand
i loved this run
so much fun
zodiac gold just about beaten
Wait was the deck again
Zodiac right
I played counter strike and completely forgot about it
imagine a bloodstone here, damn
end of ante 4 square yippee
first time ive managed that
im on ante 2 🥀
holy wild card synergy batman
Two good choices...
This will decide the rest of the game but for now I don't have anything going.
Mime ez
Is balatro getting a movie just like iron lung?
...
Yes, we will put ben starr inside the iron lung submarine and fill it with fake blood
Of course hes playing as jimbo
No I mean like just a balatro movie
What would it be about
Yea but i think my idea is funnier
Also ofc jimbo will be played as frank Sinatra
OOPS!
GUYS I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF SOME HELP RN
im on the madworld challenge wtf do i do 😭
replace scary face probably?
@heavy heron thank u showman
yep thats what i thought
insane seed. super early Cavendish, gave it up for the photochad just for Cavendish to KEEP SHOWING UP like 4 times. also a brainstorm and blueprint before ante 8
Glass
oh and if i dont drwa my glass
lmao midas mask and pareidolia on checkered
balarto
HEHEHEHEHEHE
I win
cause i had photochad and brainstorm
What happend if I use hermit?
Someone help, there are uranus cards and I wanna buy them
But what happens if I use hermit with negative money?
you just get 0 money I think
Pray for me 😭
You got burglar and the duo
You'll be fine
No wait im stupid
🥀
This is only 3 hours of ever playing the game :3
I just woke up
Son...
i hope you get some pair levels ngl
thank god for foil blueprint
😔 run dead
what your pair level at tho
do you need the extra hands from burglar?
Is gold stake too harsh? The rentals stacked up and I couldn't recover my econ
you have to be very careful about taking rentals
unless you can reliably recover the gold lost in each blind by using gold seal cards or red seal this problem will occure
dont take ante 1 rentals (most of the time)
How is card sharp 30
?
He is holo
Bp and bs dont copy the edition
card sharp is 30, idk what it means
I take it of it's something super good like trousers
Its bait
Yuri is carrying this run
gg 1st try
ngl i want both
💀

Orange stake brings me pain
RNGesus has cursed me I can’t find good jokers
It’s 430 I need to sleep
Chad easily

foil has to be more likely to get from wheel on plasma deck
its like almost every time
it is
What does orange stake do? I have only gotten to black stake
It is cuz it just is the worst option
Perishable jokers
Orange adds perishables
Oh god
foil is just more likely in general
Dies after 5 rounds
oh
That is evil
it’s not actually that much worse that purple but I’m dependent on joker rng at this point
Remember to refrigerate your jokers
Please don't tell me perishable is on ALL jokers
Not all of them
not all of them
No only some like the eternal thing
seemingly most of them, but not all of them
it cant be on most of the scaling jokers
So all jokers basically become my gros michel luck great
like dagger bus, madness, red etc
if you use hiker on a card if you use a death or cryptid or any copy on that card does it keep the chips from hiker?
should do
I beluwve si
I only like 2 of those mentioned cards
If I’m dependent on joker rng to get Orange stake green deck done is that normal or me being bad at the game
No that is normal
A little bit of both
Mostly being bad

It’s like
Green Deck is fun, until the scaling of the green stake or higher starts hitting
I never get good synergies
I think green deck and black deck should combine fr
Granted I tend to reset too soon sometimes
I think ghost deck should give me a fucking ankh more often jeez
have you tried looking under the shop
they keep all of the consumables on a conveyor belt
Ye that's funny but I feel like my balatro game is just a wraith factory
Wouldn't one of the best combinations not be like polychrome eternal dagger with polychrome eternal egg?
not really
You can't feed egg to dagger, man thats bs
takes too long for egg to scale, ignoring the fact that it is eternal
So eternal egg is just quite useless
like you cant feed eternals to the dagger
temperance and that's about it
And swashbuckler I guess
I highkey forgot swash existed
I keep remembering cuz I have a skylander with the same name
50 dollar tempreances are quite good actually
the point of egg isnt to sell it
usually
Atp, trousers and Nova ain't even doing anything
I can gold sticker two random jokers
Tell me which ones, y'all
im going an 11 stack for obby
as long as you draw that hand yea you can sell the pants and nova
speaking of pants
I can, I know I can
i think i bought the wrong version of balatro
Whats the boss
4 more goldens! Bluetrib carries, the others were there to watch
mf out here playing Barato
How the heck did you ping a deleted user
school pc doesnt allow the web version anymore
i didn't
its not a deleted one
💔
same here
That's not even when their account was created
That's weird
i wanna go home to my laptop 💔
truest
I have 40 gold stickers, 100+ wins and Perkeo is still hiding from me
damn
kinda unlucky depending on how many times you've got legs
Beaten what?
Maybe like 10ish times
Certainly 10 times
mr boney is my favourite 4x mult joker
8.6 obelisk on an 11 twopair stack
All deleted accounts have that creation date
idk why
interesting
was that when they changed how names work or something
with the #2643
do you rember number tags
on profiles
oh i thought you meant change to the tags
not from the tags
the tags only changed in the last 2 years right
i dont know 
I looked it up and somehow got distracted by the macedonian naming conflict and then the greek revolutionary war of independence from the ottomans
which i didnt even realize happened
may 2023
yeah i remember before then… i think…
im glad i snagged a 4 character one
flush build and skipping in gold stake? youll be executed here
i didnt have a reason to get a smaller one tbh
It's obelisk, not a flush build
I just take whatever base mult can get
and again, sometimes you must skip with obelisk
I would have died if I didn't
I used walkie-talkie for most of the game for my base mult
real?
just dont meet the plant
Yap it is
rip run
can u reach nanoinf with just hanging chad
no
he can be negative and do nothing
retrigger naneinfs are possible but you do 5 card retriggers And lots of copy jokers on trib/idol
Only need about 308 septillion chads!
I once got egg and swash in two shop slots
I mean they're both common but yeah
any tips for newbie on gold stake with yellow desk?
Oh damn you were actually doing it
I said that as a joke before I went to bed bc that setup is what people use to get naneinf
I'd replace your chad with a showman so you can get more blueprints/brainstorms in your next run
ayo i got holographic blueprint on first shop
Open the buffoon pack there has to be a card in there
i got gros michael
Michael
now i got scholar and hallucination reroll suplus and 1 standart pack and 1 jumbo arcana pack
how i should build up? i got 39$ rn
what should i do?
im using phone version for balatro 🙏
oh wait, i actually should js ss that 😭
oh damn I hope they add screenshotting feature to your phone
🦓
Im just being sarcastic but fair enough
yeye couldn't quite tell
That's what i got rn
Damn good jokers
i got blueprint and michal on first shop
should i buy hieroglyph?
You are copying burnt and hallucination when appropriate correct?
yeah im copying them then i buying packs or discarding hands
Hmm hiero is 6 extra levels
You could, I don't think you need to
uu i got hologram
but its rental :(
Hm that's pretty good
spectral!!!
sigil and ouija
nooo!!!!
Me when spectral
should i gamble with ouija for kings?
No
he'll no
k
Ehy do you want kings even
Kings aren't even the best rank you could get
so do i use sigil or skip?
You can use Federal if you want, especially if most of the cards drawn are red suit
sigil
Federal
yeah yeah whatever
federal?
Voice to text garbage
ill skip spectral pack then since there no really good cards :(
crazy luck
sigil generally just doesnt matter but if it hits black suits it helps Blackboard potential
Will sly joker be gold stickered if I keep him and win?
so if your hand is mostly red suits usually I will use it just in case
yes
Yes, but he will keep charging you rent
i lost... 😭
why
i used my discards and hands wrong ended up with no cards to make flush
flush!?
which was my main hand
😭
im not best player i know 🙏
burnt Joker with flush is A dodgy play
Why are you a zebra btw
I was 9 years old and thought of the name zebra go boom

I don't know why, I didn't particularly like zebras before then
Wait, it sounds broken on checkered deck
Not really broken, but certainly doable
bebe
NO WAY
Discarding flush is crazy
Holyyyyyyyuyyyshitttttttttttttttt
My build is so ass and Mr. Bones comes out of the woodwork like this angel
No way I was making it to ante 9
perishable Mr bones is interesting
I'm on ante 8
feels appropriate
So it's ok
Also, he was one of the first 5 jokers I gold stickered
He's such a goat
yea just saying a revive mechanic with a timer seems pretty normal
we all love bone man
Ah, I see what you mean
Ummm, should I just skip to the end?
God i feel like shit rn
Baseball card god
Why what happened
Got vaccinated and i got a fever 🔥
Wait, that can happen 😨
Gng what do I do here
that's how vaccines work
Vaccines are bad for humans, clearly 🤬🔪
I thought that's how they worked back in the day
I know now
But baron and make steel kings
But im broke
Like I can sell base joker and banner then buy jumbo arcane pack and play for temperance or idk
Don't do that 😭
next time don’t voucher skip with 3 bucks
might be one of the worst shops i've ever seen
(*for your situation)
the only thing especially good is the overstock
Y'all should play more yellow deck
I gold stickered 26 jokers in one day
So how do I move here with my money gng
to be honest this is a very simple equation that you should be able to solve on your own, you have 3 bucks, everything in the shop is more than 3 bucks
i guess you could sell jimbo for delgrat maybe
and that can be taken next shop too unless rheyre full skipping
vouchers reroll on ante end i believe so the voucher skip extra should stay?
Joker stickers were at 585 yesterday
idk i never voucher skip especially wtih 3 whole dollars
oh my gosh ts shi saving my run
i got blue print in next shop(but i had to sold banner and base joker)
seems like youve just made your situation worse
Is there any setup that would let you play a hand that triggers both the trio and the order?
unless steel joker is really high
how much is that steel joker
1.4x 🙏
You're cooked
yuh i am
wait its perishable I didnt even notice xD
i also didnt 🙏
anyways im dead and in new run
a real ⁉️ moment
its buffoon pack first either way
Are you most comfortable with yellow. If yes then yes
mystic summit and reverse parking both rental and eternal 💀
k
you can always take an eternal joker, and you can take more if they are really good/ fit your build
idk if id commit to an eternal delgrat or baseball card at the start
bbc is expensive and kinda xmult before it matters if that makes sense
elloo chat im new to balatro
delgrat kinda just sucks
helloo
o a good voucher
25% discount
alright, wish me luck
gl
like its usable econ but not good
thanks for the luck lol
W
I was cutting it close with that one
hm looks like i should buy clearence sale and skip
.
you shouldnt skip too much
when I found throwback, my life got a little easier lol
i mean leave the shop
you shouldnt skip at all basically
yeah
had 3 glass jokers going into that blind
should i sell smiley joker?
no lmao
why?
for better stencil
you’d literally just lose mult
but probably not needed
if anything, that stencil will become useless
to get 3× mult
ohhh trueee
its rhe same amount of xmult
also its technically a little better to put the glass card to the eight
right
ts my best run in the game so far
probably negligible though
i got my first legendary on this run
okokk
why tho?
becuz
uh
smiley
lol
thats loterally it
i told u it was negligible
but might as well
If u have encountered psychic or plant that chicot is a sell
I respect chigoat but . Hes not the best in this situation
Plant will disable all your face cards
pyschic it play 5 iirc
Psychic u need 5 cards minimum for a hand
i got this blind early
Have u encountered psychic
ouuu thats a run killer
naw i havent
I mean the blind scaling is gonna be the one that will potentially kill the run anyway
free jimbo!!!
i'd pick shortcut and then try to get saturns
you can also sell jimbo for overstock ig
if you're feeling lucky
i mean sure
i picked the one that didn't take space
because who knows if hack is even gonna help
https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/lJR9ipC87gueq__rB?invite=cr-MSxYN3gsMjU0NTQ5MTM3&v=38 quickest boss blind ever😭
Watch Untitled by pizzaaaaaaaaaaa and millions of other Balatro videos on Medal. #balatro
Hmm. Think i might need more blue seals
brutal
taking a break from black deck to try erratic felt like a blessing
you should try blue deck white stake
you're right, a vacation would be nice
I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
how can i find a way to hate every deck
is 88/150 a good number of gold stickers yet
photochad build of doom and despair (for blinds)
all blinds except 
we dont talk about that one
If you havent get to the 25 jokers left it should go pretty fast
the crazy part is 3 wheels out of 3 triggered for now
um
good morning all
thank you, showman
wait until you hear about my double eternal showman gold stake win
i didnt know the first one was eternal then i had the guarenteed win and sold my econ joker at the end for another one

i think its time
I had a showman but I had to sell for second Chad to get a bit more scoring cuz I was literally gonna die if I didnt
I was too lazy to do orange on some of these

What's worse, wheel of fortune not paying out at all or wheel of fortune making a joker foil?
foil jokers are great actually
foil is pretty nice
i like foil
yeah but you could get holo or poly
chips are great
dude foil is good
foil doesn't seem to be too useful to me
chips are scare 10 mult is not
+50 chips can absolutely carry when chips are scarce
if you have pure mult jokers foil is amazing
rate my second ever run
