[barren wigeon]

no it isnt

photochad

[tight pike]

Looks inside
is anything but a fucking madness card

[eternal solar]

photochad is 8x

[barren wigeon]

x3

24x

do the math pal

[eternal solar]

what

[wintry ice]

4x vs 3x

[barren wigeon]

THERE IS A DRIVERS LICENSE

[eternal solar]

if you have a 3x instead of photograph it would be better

[barren wigeon]

no it wouldn't???

youre really bad at math dude

[floral mural]

there is a chad in shop

[hidden lance]

how often do you guys play stakes besides white and gold

[eternal solar]

3 x 3 = 9
9 x 3 = 27

[wintry ice]

did they even see the image in question

[eternal solar]

never

[shell dagger]

photo becomes an 8x with chad

[eternal solar]

photochad is 8x

[floral mural]

very occasionally black stake on ghost deck for attempting 5 of a kind jokers

[eternal solar]

2 3x jokers is 9z

9x

[wintry ice]

2x3x3 = 18
2x4x3 = 24

[barren wigeon]

okay

[frank grove]

i have a profile where im getting all jokers to their color, like lusty to red and wrathful to black and stuff

[barren wigeon]

you do know that

[shell dagger]

blueprint copies photo with photochad is 64x

[barren wigeon]

EXACLTY

[shell dagger]

bigger number than all of urs

[barren wigeon]

THERES A BLUEPRINT

[wintry ice]

yea

even still it's better than card sharp without it

[barren wigeon]

I play balatro i cant do math

[wintry ice]

dr spectred:

[hidden lance]

theres something wrong with you but in a good way

[frank grove]

theres a few where im like what do i even go for here, like steel

i guess white

[hidden lance]

get the prettiest color then

[outer rover]

Is mime the move here

[brave goblet]

how many kings you got

[eternal solar]

guys discord made a balatro ref

[outer rover]

28

[eternal solar]

take mime + the voucher

i would kill sock

[potent tree]

i was looking at Enhanced honestly

[brave goblet]

can probably drop yorick lol

[cloud sinew]

"Enhanced"
"holographic"
"tags"

[brave goblet]

bro thinks he's on the team

[eternal solar]

oh god theres even more

[outer rover]

I got him to X10 u sure

[cloud sinew]

yorick and trib both do very little relative to baron mime so yes

[brave goblet]

x10 is nothing compared to how much xmult is pouring in from baron mime and even your trib combo lol

[cloud sinew]

i would probably drop trib here though

given it's likely only 4x

[eternal solar]

drop sock

[cloud sinew]

id keep sock for golden ticket econ potential

[eternal solar]

trib is still 2x if you play a king (which you will when you have all kings held)

[outer rover]

I’m playing 5OAK since I’m too scared to play high card

[eternal solar]

get on the high card gaming

[brave goblet]

what's your high card level

inb4 1

[eternal solar]

?

[brave goblet]

inb4 is a text indicator meaning "in before", which kinda means like "What if I jinx it"

[eternal solar]

oh ok

[outer rover]

1. Like I said I’m scared

[brave goblet]

that is kind of concerning

But surely you can afford to play at least 1 high card to see what it scores lmao

[bleak blaze]

Chat do I

1. Trance for blue seal for obvious strength
2. EGG²

[brave goblet]

as much as egg squared is based, trance lol

[alpine halo]

Egg squared is funny

Also

Swash bonkler

[bleak blaze]

Blue seals are so good though 😭

[brave goblet]

yeah I'd just take the boring trance

[outer rover]

262,736

[brave goblet]

is that with the mime

[outer rover]

Yeah

[brave goblet]

I guess that makes sense, you're not on plasma

I don't have a great sense of what baron mime scores are on normal decks

[lament smelt]

I guess blud wants me to play high card

all i need is a chip joker like bull or blue joker

[outer rover]

The chad anaglyph and green deck enjoyer:

[brave goblet]

I fear no man
but green deck enjoyers, they scare me

[tight pike]

I hope I'll get something good from this standard pack

The 3 stones in question:

[brave goblet]

best it can do is a couple of wild 3s and stone card

[lament smelt]

and ofc boss blind is psychic

[uncut matrix]

i’ve looked through so many standard packs for red seals and only got a couple red 3s

over weeks of looking

[tight pike]

Let me just reroll this boss blind, I hope it's not anything too difficult, I can't really build my mult easily

[shell dagger]

take the 3

[tight pike]

Flint:

[shell dagger]

you can strength a 3 into a king in weeks

[uncut matrix]

i do

and then the run dies before i can

i was too greedy

[fickle mesa]

you have a burnt joker which requests that you play pairs

and then with pairs you dont need a chips joker

since u have burnt joker

[floral mural]

burnt joker is also good because the scaling isnt part of the joker itself so selling it lets you keep what you already got

[tight pike]

Misprint when you need Mult vs. Misprint when you already beat the blind with base chips and mult basically describes how balatro rng is meant to screw your runs over

[floral mural]

burnt joker kinda goated for stickers i can get all the value and then dump it for a gold sticker ante 8

on some common

[brave goblet]

real

even when burnt is perishable you can still milk 5 levels out of it before dumping

[tight pike]

Eternal Riff Raff ;-;

[outer rover]

I don’t know why people don’t like green deck

[languid pecan]

tragic (early ouija on painted)

[outer rover]

Pick up DNA?

[brave goblet]

I just hate the way the economy works on it

[tight pike]

Yes

[brave goblet]

I like having interest rather than doing contract work

[tight pike]

Actually idk what to replace it for

[terse dock]

It only has downsides

[proper turtle]

I mean, I lowkey find black deck better than green

[brave goblet]

Well yeah cause black deck has the same economy as other decks, fundamentally

[outer rover]

If you finish blinds in one hand it’s an easy $15 every blind

[brave goblet]

Yeah, which means attempting to scale played on hand jokers costs you $15 every blind

On every other deck due to the interest, we can make way more money than green's wack rewards lol

[languid pecan]

it forces you to play in ways that would otherwise be detrimental on other decks

[civic sierra]

holy shit

[outer rover]

Dudes will say this like doing so won’t cause you to win in one hand later on anyways

[crystal field]

same as popcorn really.. u just need to find it lategame

i dont think perishable works

maybe tho

[brave goblet]

You can easily stop winning in one hand with some reordering or playing suboptimal hands lol

[civic sierra]

somehow saved it

[brave goblet]

and in any case there's a big difference between early game and late game

[outer rover]

Dude just buy mult

[brave goblet]

REAL

dagger time

[languid pecan]

man 4oak build so fun

[crystal field]

reb card

[outer rover]

@brave goblet

[brave goblet]

how many of does 56 cards are kings

[crystal field]

are you scoring with baron or trib

[languid pecan]

NOOO

[brave goblet]

I actually dunno what to do, you probably won't get very far trying to naneinf on ghost deck without perkeo

[languid pecan]

ah crap that was last shop

[brave goblet]

rip lol

[languid pecan]

shouldve rolled down

im probably fine but we'll see

[crystal field]

ezpz

[honest dawn]

In the last ante I got a Joker that I had without a sticker, but I had zero money (because I had spent the 70 I had on rerolls).

Also a good game with Flush House

[wary zodiac]

bro deadass im starting to grt tired of photochad

[languid pecan]

lets do this

[terse dock]

Yeah good luck with that on purple stake scaling

[crystal field]

not bad gg

[languid pecan]

GG

[crystal field]

painted goated

[languid pecan]

early ouija pretty fun on painted

[honest dawn]

It's underrated

[honest dawn]

It's easily a top 5 deck for gold stake

[heady narwhal]

$6 from remaining hands + $2 from remaining discards + $5 at most from blind reward < $15

[crystal field]

careful who you say that around lolol

[languid pecan]

one of the only decks that allows ouija to actually do something useful

[heady narwhal]

winning in one hand on otjer decks gives $8 from remaining hands + interest, which is the same as green deck's remaining hands + discards money

[potent tree]

how many break chat

[languid pecan]

none

[heady narwhal]

so aside from the early game, green deck can only lose you money

[crystal field]

wait japanese name guy deleted his acct

[honest dawn]

My play style doesn't rely on jokers that much.

[potent tree]

one broke.

[honest dawn]

But that +2 hand size is much better to me than a joker slot

In gold stake

[languid pecan]

troubador without the massive downside

[potent tree]

however justice in the next shop to make up for it.

[honest dawn]

Exact

[potent tree]

so we should be clearing this ante...

[languid pecan]

the great thing about painted deck is that it makes it way easier to play hands like straights 3oak and 4oak

2 pair honorable mention too

[bleak blaze]

XMult is communist propaganda

[crystal field]

it also makes it easier to play hc

[languid pecan]

and the scaling you lose from the joker slot just comes from the better scaling from planets

[crystal field]

hella room for gold

[bleak blaze]

So much steel

[crystal field]

stm on painted is fun

[outer rover]

This requires vouchers/juggler, in which case if you have green deck the same vouchers it would still make more

[bleak blaze]

Though recently ive been playing a LOT of Yellow Deck

[outer rover]

30

[wary zodiac]

wtf

[crystal field]

oh also

[outer rover]

Both

[wary zodiac]

i don't actually know what i take here

[crystal field]

if you have good jokers on painted ectoplasm is like

way way better on painted

[honest dawn]

XD

[heady narwhal]

what

[heady narwhal]

huh

[wary zodiac]

lucky cat or bloodstone build? 😭

[bleak blaze]

The only XMult joker I saw was a rental perishable Family on the last ante

Planet cards carried me

[crystal field]

pick now

[honest dawn]

Saturn is a very powerful planet.

[outer rover]

Nvm I’m tripping

[honest dawn]

And egg+adventurer

[bleak blaze]

Straights are so good oml

I think they scale at the same rate as Mars?

[crystal field]

whats the adventure

[honest dawn]

It's the best multi-item combo excluding gift cards (why is it better than an egg)

[outer rover]

Don’t put me on the spot like this!!!

[crystal field]

oh swashbuckler

[honest dawn]

It was possibly translated incorrectly

[languid pecan]

i dont do straight builds often unless i have some type of deckfixing (abandoned deck or painted are 2 good ones) but straights are crazy good

[potent tree]

FUCK. balatrolator says i lose by less than 4 billion. oh well...constellation got to 16.8x so that's nice i guess. but i had 5 undrawn glass kings

[crystal field]

straights are good on a few decks

[heady narwhal]

isn5t it better to copy constellation here?

[crystal field]

shortcut is always a good time

[lament smelt]

holy cow i am the luckiest man alive

[potent tree]

wait

maybe you're right?

[heady narwhal]

by like 5%

[bleak blaze]

If theres an Ante 1 Runner im playing straights immediately

[crystal field]

yea but runner is a pair joker

[heady narwhal]

this i don't agree with

[crystal field]

i mean

i do play straights immediately

just 1 per round

[bleak blaze]

Maybe not playing into them.the whole round

But its early direction is what my point is

[crystal field]

or more early for more chips earlier

[crystal field]

direction to find scaling +mult yea

if you can stack lots of straights its an easy obelisk gg

[potent tree]

so i need all lucky cards to trigger just to beat the boss score. send prayers

[bleak blaze]

Basically

Obelisk is so good ❤️

[potent tree]

WE GOT IT

[outer rover]

Trib I suppose. I don’t have the hand size to make the best use of mime

[crystal field]

so no dna

[languid pecan]

please tell me you moved the glass

oh wait

disregard

didnt see chad'

[uncut matrix]

the lucky hits wouldnt do anything atp

[potent tree]

well run's ending this ante for sure unless i draw 5 glass cards

this one has 3 glass cards (the last obscured card is glass)

i moved it around dw

[distant vault]

Campfire doing nothing:

[potent tree]

aw. that's unfortunate. but still hell of a run

[lament smelt]

erosion and 35 cards is a little broken

xd

[potent tree]

wait one minute. i'll show you lol

.

21 cards right there.

[lament smelt]

was your most played hand perhaps high card

[potent tree]

"welcome to the salty spitoon, how tough are you?"
"how tough am i? i got to +100 mult with erosion!"
"yeah, so?"
"on abandoned deck."
"r-right this way sir."

[soft vapor]

Oh my

[frank grove]

the brothers!

[potent tree]

i think that was a 2 pair run

[potent tree]

this early it has to be steven.

[soft vapor]

Yeah

But like

[potent tree]

todd is good

[soft vapor]

They reunited

[potent tree]

wait

[lament smelt]

I always go Todd early

[potent tree]

if you skip they will remain together

don't separate them!!

[soft vapor]

Also I fumbled two blueprint runs on yellow deck

White stake

[lament smelt]

Either Todd or blue joker are solid chip jokers early game

Then use bull

A lot

I love bull

[potent tree]

i was about to console you then saw this...but i've done it too. on anaglyph

[potent tree]

stuntman:

[soft vapor]

I had a run with blueprint and brainstorm and gros michel has gone extinct 😭

The only thing I could copy was odd todd or hanging chad

[potent tree]

it is practically impossible not to draw into a pair, sometimes even a 2pair, before you run out of discards

if you have burglar doesn't count because you get more econ anyways so you shouldn't be mad

[soft vapor]

Burglar is quite good

[soft vapor]

Unless you bought wasteful

[heavy heron]

look look i know i have the dice

but this

is insanity

[soft vapor]

~1/3 chance btw

[potent tree]

i mean you're more likely to get more needed vouchers earlier as you buy ones you don't need

[heavy heron]

if only my wheels were like this

[soft vapor]

It's always 1 in 2 though

It either happens or it doesn't

[distant vault]

Ante 1 rentals are so bad

[potent tree]

you've used some hands so i'm not surprised. but at least one more card at max will be drawn face down

[soft vapor]

Wtf I haven't gotten a soul card yet on the account reset

Hold on

[potent tree]

oh wait

my ass didn't see oa6

i'm a dummy

imagine rolling wheel on fragile

you're playing russian roulette at that point.

[inland plover]

In reference to the official Balatro playing card pack. Would the jokers be considered aces, and if so which is which? I want to know this so I could play solitaire with them lol

[potent tree]

solitaire isn't played with more than a standard 52 card deck

[inland plover]

As in which joker would be clubs, spades, diamonds, and hearts?

[potent tree]

the jokers are jimbo juggler blueprint and michel right

[inland plover]

It has 52 cards

[inland plover]

Yeah

[potent tree]

plus the 4 jokers

[frank grove]

blueprint as spades make sense i guess, nana as diamonds, and then flip a coin

[potent tree]

right?

[inland plover]

Mhm

[inland plover]

Good point

[potent tree]

so you wouldn't use the jokers in solitaire

honestly blueprint goes clubs for me. jimbo is always ace of spades

[inland plover]

The jokers since there’s 4, would act as the aces

[frank grove]

there are aces in the playing card set, no?

[inland plover]

Oh wait I’m so damn dumb

[potent tree]

that's what i'm saying lol

[inland plover]

Yeah I just saw them lmao

[frank grove]

i thought you were talking about playing them as wild cards

[potent tree]

honestly not a bad idea

[inland plover]

I now realize that lol

[frank grove]

that is a type of solitaire

[inland plover]

Ooo, that could be cool

[quaint token]

should i end it all?

[potent tree]

"the plant does not counter photochad" or however someone said it

guess just copy yorick

[inland plover]

I believe it’s like a get out of jail free card. When ya come across it you can pick what it is. Like for instance you can say it’s a 10 of hearts

[frank grove]

this is why you gotta get some glass on some non faces with the god forsaken photo chad

[potent tree]

you'll get at least 100 xmult by this time surely

[frank grove]

yeah, same in some kinda rare poker styles where they throw jokers in as wild any suit any rank cards

[quaint token]

not even a dent

[inland plover]

Yeah

[potent tree]

and this is copying yorick?

with both bp and bs?

[quaint token]

plant: "please...like you can handle a fraction of my power"

[honest dawn]

And you also have hallucination next to you haha

[quaint token]

it was only 4x

[potent tree]

ah i see

yeah you might be screwed then.

by this time normally yorick would be at x8 or x9 at worst if early found

how late did you find him

[quaint token]

picked him up not too late but i had already taken petroglyph so the value was horrible

[potent tree]

yorick and canio as scaling legendaries are worth a lot if you build around their gimmicks since they're both xmult scalers

[potent tree]

ah that would explain a lot. unfortunate

petro's one downside is yorick, rebate, any discard reliant joker

most jokers don't give a hoot

[heavy heron]

CRAP CRAP

UHHHHHHHH

IT REALLY HAD TO BE ON THAT ROLL HUH

[formal shadow]

should i get rid of banana or the diamond joker

[brave goblet]

technically diamond joker actually contributes to score with photochad

[formal shadow]

i already got rid of it gulp

[pale wolf]

what? the jokers are jokers

[heavy heron]

well ok gg

[formal shadow]

what should i do w cavendish? holo is already like 4.75

[pale wolf]

and then discord loaded

[simple jacinth]

sac scary face

[pale wolf]

not crop the image is what

[formal shadow]

your mother crop thje image

[pale wolf]

probably scary goes though

[sinful plaza]

no seed

[pale wolf]

depends on hand level

[formal shadow]

just been doing flush house

[barren wigeon]

doesn't look seeded

[pale wolf]

mime into ankh isnt that crazy for ghost deck

[sinful plaza]

😎😎

[pale wolf]

no stickers possible either so like

[heavy heron]

well okay then

that was easy

[red thistle]

Holy shit can people stop cropping out the rounds and ante and money numbers.

[barren wigeon]

true just take pictures

[pale wolf]

% app pl I'll m

[formal shadow]

is this the most optimal

order

[pale wolf]

doesn't matter at all

[formal shadow]

oh

okay maybe im fucked and need to stop trying to cope

[lament smelt]

bull and bootstraps are so good

wow

[pale wolf]

bull yea

bootstraps has A very small niche

[heavy heron]

the niche being being the top 1% rich...

[barren wigeon]

bootstraps is ass but bull is great

we love bull

[pale wolf]

and also rich without having had good options already

[barren wigeon]

we dont love bootstraps

[heavy heron]

i've only had 1 bootstraps run in the past like 3 months

and it was like..

seed money

money tree

$120 consistently

they are few and far between

[civic canopy]

Gold stake black deck

Am I cooked since I have to sell the brainstorm

[lament smelt]

has +68 mult on bootstraps, it is infact not ass : )

[frank grove]

with 13 hands surely not cooked

[barren wigeon]

170 dollars stored for 68 mult isnt a great deal

[civic canopy]

I’m still scared I’ve been trying to hold take this deck for like a week

[frank grove]

and you have a justice

[civic canopy]

Anyway what’s the optimal joker placement

[lament smelt]

got nothing else to spend it on so oh well

[civic canopy]

Throwback at 3.25x

[pale wolf]

????

[barren wigeon]

nothing to spend 170 dollars on

hm

[lament smelt]

what else am i going to spend 170 on for 68 mult

[pale wolf]

How exactly is there nothing to spend the money on

[barren wigeon]

wait till this guy realizes 68 mult isnt that much mult

[pale wolf]

You're looking at this very short-sightedly

You already have to have the income available to you before you pick up bootstraps if you want to have that kind of money

if you can't spend money because you picked up bootstraps then you just lose because you never get there

[lament smelt]

it was at ante 7 and i won already anyway

[lament smelt]

its not that i cant

[barren wigeon]

you can get 68 mult on a grimbo in 17 rounds

[pale wolf]

so bootstraps is good when it's already a won game

[barren wigeon]

and be able to spend money

[frank grove]

and one x mult makes that far better than boot

[barren wigeon]

or on a rtb

or on a supernova kinda

[pale wolf]

That sounds like a bad Joker to me

[barren wigeon]

or in 11 rounds (if you skip everything) with red card

11 ish rounds at least

[pale wolf]

bootstraps is bad specifically because it skips over 69

[pale wolf]

that's why red card is better

and groker

[frank grove]

dont call it the grok-er 😭

[barren wigeon]

STOP CALLING HIM GROKER

ITS STUPID

HIS NAME IS GRIMBO

[pale wolf]

no that's just what he's called

[barren wigeon]

nope

no no no no no

[tranquil steppe]

Don’t listen to the haters. Bootstraps is good

[barren wigeon]

is there a server that has nope animated

id join that

[lament smelt]

god damn it you cursed me with the nope

just got nothing on wheel of fortune

[barren wigeon]

deserved for using bs

not even real bs but fake bs

[tranquil steppe]

To defeat the Huns?

[potent tree]

if the huns are in ghost deck red stake then sure

oh damn michel expired big blind ante 1

[smoky bobcat]

Ghost deck is my personal fav deck ngl

just use the polychrome well (not on michael)

[low fog]

thank you

[potent tree]

yeah that's why i've saved it (i found sock later)

[smoky bobcat]

paradolia value

[potent tree]

oh no...i found baron ante 2

are we being forced to naneinf

[tulip pond]

someone here did a photochad baron mime run on abandoned a couple times it’s not the end of the world

[tranquil steppe]

Lord Canio!!!!

[pale wolf]

still good

[low fog]

oh alright

[smoky bobcat]

Yeah at this point youll just need as many tarots as possible to make/enhance/destroy you can totally make it work

[smoky bobcat]

do it no balls

[potent tree]

the ouija gave me all 8s...time to restart the run!

[smoky bobcat]

hey wait whered canio go

[tulip pond]

you have strengths, deaths, standard packs, a couple other jokers, smaller deck for more frequent face card appearances

[pale wolf]

the pit of ignorance

[tulip pond]

weak stomach

[smoky bobcat]

sold canio so he could pick up flowerpot…

[potent tree]

oop...AJ in first buffoon pack...

[low fog]

did it

died

[desert zephyr]

Finally

[sinful plaza]

bro ate everything

[tulip pond]

gee wonder how that happened

[low fog]

okay so

[potent tree]

good work soldier. now be like me and start your second savefile

[tulip pond]

pull up the elon pic where he gets bullied for having no real scoring jokers

[vale wharf]

Balatro, I hate you 😭
Why would you taunt me with this wee joker 😭😭😭

[tulip pond]

the red stake effect

[vale wharf]

Wha-

[vale wharf]

Seriously, I just need $1

JUST ONE

[rain ice]

Sick mobile run on orange stake

[vale wharf]

Wait, I can open the buffoon packs and find blueprint and sell it for a $1 profit

Perfect!

Yeah, this is cyber bullying

Jimbo, why

Just tell me why

[low fog]

does that

does that even work

what's the max you can get

[vale wharf]

What hand/level are you playing?

[tulip pond]

pairs probably

[sinful plaza]

guess which one he'll eat next

[tulip pond]

into flusher

[sinful plaza]

he got hungry

[surreal quartz]

What yall know about the best build in the game double showman

[wintry igloo]

nice

[bleak hemlock]

so goofy

[wary flicker]

for what oops?

[wary flicker]

waiting for dagger

[jolly relic]

just bought trading card when i have burglar 🥰🥰

[wary flicker]

if its early you could sell burglar tbh

[jolly relic]

its negative

[bleak hemlock]

no one knows

[wintry igloo]

verdant leaf got rekt

[wary flicker]

oh fair

[jolly relic]

OMFG IM GONNA CRY

I LITERALLY

I JS TOOK FACELESS

[rain ice]

Played flush all the way through anti 11 then died because of lack of base mult not many planet cards offered

[jolly relic]

AND PAREIDOLIA

i canr even use them

[wary flicker]

kaitlyn sell burglar atp

😢 g

[rain ice]

Yes and no not endless but to get a win yes just need base mult as much as possible

[jolly relic]

i might just restart

that run wouldve wasted my time

i know it

[wary flicker]

🙁

[jolly relic]

why do i always get cryptid from sixth sense

[wary flicker]

complaining but good spectral

[jolly relic]

why would i need cryptid ante 1 round 2

[wary flicker]

well you can keep it until you get a good card

[atomic trout]

This was evil!

Fuck the Needle

[low fog]

best way to beat the cruelty challenge?

[simple tinsel]

Just got here. Beat my first black stake

[tranquil steppe]

Congrats!!

[atomic trout]

SHITSHOT? Damn Jimbo!

[tranquil steppe]

He prefers Gary

[hearty tundra]

Honestly i think i might just be bad at the game

Im coping with my varying losses

[tranquil steppe]

You’ll get better

[atomic trout]

Nevermind...

[tranquil steppe]

Flushhhhhhhhh

[atomic trout]

Down the drain

[atomic trout]

It's colors 🤣

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vale wharf]

@hardy fable thanks for showing up 😍

[tranquil steppe]

Hello

[atomic trout]

The gay 10-4 kills

[hearty tundra]

Oh ik ive just been doing ancient deck purple for like a week now and keep dying to stupid misplays on my end

I got like 100h on the game i shouldnt be doing what i do but oh well

Also

Is c+ just max gold decks and ++ max decks + jokers?

[potent tree]

buh buh.

crimson juggler moment

[tranquil steppe]

Mega points incoming

[atomic trout]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Not again

[potent tree]

and i was able to ecto without a downside too

[vale wharf]

What is even happening 😭

[pale wolf]

just jokers on the last one

You can get C, C+, and C++ independently of each other

[hearty tundra]

So what’s the difference between them all

[pale wolf]

All collection items discovered, all decks gold staked, all jokers gold staked

[quick salmon]

Last night

[atomic trout]

[low fog]

i'm gonna rip my clothes off and scream bro

[ebon arrow]

That's depressing

460 rerolls no blue print or brainstorm, and no DNA until ante 17

[low fog]

flexing your misery huh

[quick salmon]

When the rare joker is rare

[atomic trout]

If it makes you feel better. I lost on Ante 0

[low fog]

you what

[ebon arrow]

There's rare. Then there's seeing 1000 cards and not getting blue print or brainstorm rare

[low fog]

oh yeah. it's all coming together

[hearty tundra]

Oh that makes sense actually

[potent tree]

w movie reference

[ebon arrow]

Okay game

Trying to make up for last time

[atomic trout]

Yay

[ocean lily]

am i the only one who finds square joker realy weak?

wee scales faster with just a single 2

and can scale up to 5 times per hand without other jokers

[jolly relic]

no

[ebon arrow]

Common vs rare

[atomic trout]

With Trousers? Nah

[ocean lily]

i swear i saw somewhere that someone said square is a good chips joker

[atomic trout]

It's alright on White Stakes

[wary flicker]

square isnt terrible tho?

[low fog]

pro tips to die

[wary flicker]

if you get it early its just easy

[low fog]

quickest route to the nearest bridge please

[proper turtle]

Not the best but definitely isn't the worst

[proper turtle]

Even in higher stakes it gets the job done

[ocean lily]

if u want to die just play a high card of the golden 2

[low fog]

aaahahahaaaa

ahhhh

ahh ahha

ah

ahhhahah

ha

[ocean lily]

death screne ante 2

[somber whale]

😇

What a blessed run

[ebon arrow]

YO

Nat negative from judgement

[somber whale]

Can someone help me figure out what to do next??

[wintry igloo]

lel

[low fog]

ante 1*

[somber whale]

Is there a section for asking for game help??

[cloud sinew]

@pale wolf im so very confused...
i just transferred my backed up data from my old phone to my new one because it broke and my current run was also backed up.
it wasnt a device files back-up, I only had a backup of what apps i had downloaded, my gallery via google photos and some other stuff but not system files...

[ocean lily]

faceless and smile for bp and midas, copy chad(i belive, other option is photo), do midas after the vampirer

[somber whale]

Not copy vampire?

[cloud sinew]

copying photograph is better there

[ocean lily]

nah, photo scales way faster with retriggers

[alpine halo]

Should I attempt the ankh

[somber whale]

Ty guys 🥹

[cloud sinew]

smiley should be left of photograph

[potent tree]

i made a mistake picking up burglar. but oh well.

[mystic arch]

had this funny run which i accidentally ended because i used hex, forgetting the madness wasnt eternal

[ocean lily]

fuh no

[somber whale]

Wait so is Chad better to copy than photo?

[cloud sinew]

no, photo is better

[somber whale]

Oki

[cloud sinew]

photo is an extra 2^3, chad is an extra 2^2

[jolly relic]

does invisible ever change the joker its gonna copy

[alpine halo]

Okay

[ocean lily]

u could have quit realy fast after u messed up and have a chance to save the run

[potent tree]

if you sell the one it's supposed to then yes,

[somber whale]

Does ^ means multiplied

[cloud sinew]

yes; when the current target is removed or when you increase/decrease the # of jokers you have

[mystic arch]

nothing left to do now ig

[jolly relic]

okay

[cloud sinew]

^ means to the power of,
2^3 is 2x2x2 (2 times itself that many times)

[jolly relic]

thankyou

[ocean lily]

only when the target is sold or if u get a new joker i belive

[jolly relic]

i also js got a negative cola..

[pale wolf]

I'm pretty sure there's separate cloud saves versus client saves

[somber whale]

Ty very much

[potent tree]

for the second time in three runs michel expired ante 1 big blind...damn

[cloud sinew]

but i didnt back-up my client save

[jolly relic]

wait so if i take this negative cola and then sell it my invisible will change targets?

[cloud sinew]

no

because you didnt change the number of jokers

[atomic trout]

Maybe I'm ass 🤣

[jolly relic]

its only if i have it when i sell the invisible?

[cloud sinew]

by taking it you increased it, but by selling it you put it back to the same number

[pale wolf]

it was probably part of the app data

[cloud sinew]

yes, then it will reroll targets but can still hit the same one

[pale wolf]

I mean it must have been right

[cloud sinew]

why must it have been

[jolly relic]

ooh okay

[pale wolf]

I'm pretty sure current run stuff isn't cloud save

which is why you can continue a run while not on internet

so it must be on some local app cache

[cloud sinew]

it could be on both

[pale wolf]

cache app...

[cloud sinew]

but it could be that if the local save is from a sooner time then it's prioritised

[pale wolf]

hmm

[potent tree]

ante 2 cav yippee

[pale wolf]

would Be an easy test for gamepass or ios versions

As long as you have multiple compatible devices

lilo im on a 5streak

[cloud sinew]

im on a 3 loss streak on black deck

[pale wolf]

nice

my best streak has come at a time where i play balatro the least

[ebon arrow]

Nat neg city

This plus buskin holy farm

[pale wolf]

stick

[potent tree]

i didn't draw a SINGLE king

this is karma at its finest

[pale wolf]

😑 always kings

[potent tree]

and then i couldn't draw a queen on the next run with 1st shop ankh

can michel survive ante 1 (level impossible)

wow it survived for once.

[late pulsar]

Are we serious.

[potent tree]

you should take gluttonous and sell bludstone

[atomic trout]

I hate Needles now

Something about one Hand only really spikes my blood pressure, my sugar levels go diabetic, and my liver goes full on cirrhosis whenever I see a higher Ante Needle

It's worse on Purple Stakes too

[opal delta]

this is why acrobat is awesome

[atomic trout]

I never had Acrobat 🤣

Cardsharp? More like Card-shart

If only the Burglar was around stealing the hands

[royal ore]

huge swashbuckler value from the yorick

[wary flicker]

bro acrobat

saved me a lot

[tranquil steppe]

You’re really able to cheat the game by dragging a joker you want as they get flipped and shuffled?

[tranquil steppe]

Yeaaaaa acrobat is > card sharp in most instances

[shell dagger]

This is something a beta tester would be well aware of

[opal delta]

what do you mean you get to beta test 1.1

[shell dagger]

he’s lying

[atomic trout]

More NEEDLES

This boss sucks

[tulip pond]

so we can just get away with that

[shell dagger]

yeah

[tulip pond]

amazing

[shell dagger]

that’s why I put card player in my username

ive only played 2300 cards

[tulip pond]

i expected more from a card player

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[shell dagger]

One day I’ll hit 2500

[vale wharf]

Chat, advise me on plasma deck (purple stake+)

It's very difficult

[shell dagger]

chip

[tulip pond]

chip

planet

blue seal

[low sorrel]

I saw someone wkth a haloween bucket joker, which one is that?

[tulip pond]

retriggers

money

and some critical thinking

and two pairs

[serene forge]

5 copies of wee jonkler

[vale wharf]

Why two pairs?

[potent tree]

finally a trib

[vale wharf]

Stupid ass game decided to taunt me with a wee first shop

[tulip pond]

twice as many chips base base value, upon trigger, and planet scaling

for a poker hand that’s not that much harder to draw

[pale wolf]

You have been playing this game for far too long to not know that, embarrassing!

Even though your name doesn't mean beta tester for any previous versions, you've been in here long enough just based on personal experience

I keep wanting to play balatro but I already won a run today

[tiny nexus]

currently played 18 straights and no high cards, runner is on plus 240 chips

got obelisk and card sharp one after the other

[serene forge]

NO

[pale wolf]

I would assume so

but no nobody knows besides Thunk and people testing the game

[novel hound]

who do i copy

[pale wolf]

aj

unless burnt

or unless money farming with chad

or sock

[novel hound]

i use checkered btw so there’s a chance ancient won’t do anything

[pale wolf]

wtf

[novel hound]

but it’s on heart rn so

[pale wolf]

why did you take it 😭

essentially useless slot bc you cant depend on the scoring

[novel hound]

i’m lowkey not that skilled

[pale wolf]

get wilds I guess

[novel hound]

this os my first blue stake run

[novel hound]

i have one so maybe i’ll focus on that

yeah no i just lost maybe i shouldn’t have taken that

[novel hound]

tbh i thought it’d work like castle where it only picks suits i have

[fallow briar]

i had an invis shortly after dna but sadly it copied the chad instead of bp o rbrain

[tranquil steppe]

My bad? I’ve said before I learn everything myself, I.e. no looking up tactics

[idle haven]

👀

[wintry igloo]

yep.

[potent tree]

spider wee, spider wee

[paper echo]

my balatros

[idle haven]

👀👀👀'

[paper echo]

tenna

why do you like 8 ball

[idle haven]

why doesnt everyone

best joker oat

[paper echo]

i mean its like somewhat okay

the only worse tarot joker is superposition

[idle haven]

if i dont have it i never naneinf

[idle haven]

seance not mentioned

[paper echo]

are we fr

[idle haven]

yes

[paper echo]

that gives a spectral

[idle haven]

1 in 4 chance for each 8 to give a tarot card

best joker oat

[paper echo]

wait

[idle haven]

with a straight flush

[paper echo]

8 ball with oops all 6s

[idle haven]

i hate seance

[idle haven]

with 2

[paper echo]

me too dawg

[idle haven]

you summoned it

[paper echo]

shit my bad

hey fun fact

theres a balatro port just sitting online for whatever reason

[idle haven]

why isnt it standing

[paper echo]

i dont know

[idle haven]

lazy bumlatro

[paper echo]

but yeah

now i can gamble while at school

the f students are the inventors blah blah blah

[idle haven]

teacher thinks im studying whole time im playing the latro

[paper echo]

son im crine

you dont know the jimbo

[idle haven]

the lat

thanks showman

[lost vault]

showman is so good do you got TWO uranus

[idle haven]

first time i ever got a soul card in spectral pack

[shadow spruce]

i imagine it's a lot harder to find due to being uncommon

[wicked sable]

i didn't even know soul was a spectral card

[idle haven]

i got canio and put him in my suicide note

wow thanks showman

[shell dagger]

back up to a 10 streak

[pale wolf]

with debug ofc

[shell dagger]

pretty rough start

[pale wolf]

🦓

[shell dagger]

lemme rerun

[pale wolf]

you have so much scoring on a pair

[shell dagger]

i definitely didn’t play optimally at the start

yeah not ideal

i took arrowhead and throwback, skipped for foil rebate

[idle haven]

removes negative from copy my ass

[potent tree]

no slides, all wee

(chad + hack)

[paper echo]

yeah okay thanks skip tags

[potent tree]

get a lottery ticket now

[paper echo]

my lucks probably ran out already because of this twin

[potent tree]

90 percent of gamblers quit before they hit it big

just look at that oa6 up there

spooky negative campfire

and of course NOW burnt appears...

[idle haven]

i js had one of those lol

[paper echo]

my luck did run out

i uh

i lost

my deck was kinda shit

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[potent tree]

enjoy some wee action

[unborn cliff]

@serene forge i saw that

[soft vapor]

I do wonder what very gay lesbian hornet could've posted

[hybrid tendon]

same fr

[unborn cliff]

probably something very gay and lesbian

[serene forge]

truly a mystery

[soft vapor]

uh huh

[unborn cliff]

i really want grimbo is he worth as a rental

theres a riff raff in the shop

[potent tree]

i mean obviously ankhing a rental is instant eco death

so i'd say just wait

[unborn cliff]

i took throwback and sold and took riff

[ebon arrow]

Its a throw but it's objectively funny

[unborn cliff]

perishable pmo

[tranquil cargo]

I think that may have actually been a throwback angle

[cursive crater]

very odd todd

[tranquil steppe]

No

[tranquil cargo]

skipping is normally bad, but getting a ton of xmult is good

[austere hull]

🥵🙏

[tranquil steppe]

Triple chad noice!

[unborn cliff]

photo any day now

[austere hull]

Sigue así bro 😃

[trim wing]

Hi everyone have a great day! Always feel loved 💖💞

[floral mural]

ok so for future knowledge dont do this

posting something like that can lead to thr wrong people seeing it and thrn you know

[unborn cliff]

guess im not pro

[potent tree]

nah this based af

[unborn cliff]

replaying on white stake

[austere hull]

🌚

[hearty tundra]

Get it and skip every blind only do bosses

[unborn cliff]

how to lose:

[austere hull]

🙏🙏🙏🔥

[hearty tundra]

You have 3 chads and a photo ur fine

[unborn cliff]

i died anyways

[hearty tundra]

Well

Plant is unfortunate

[potent tree]

well rip run. wee got to 2700 chips almost, campfire could only get 2.5x this ante. i partly wish wheel didn't land on rebate

[unborn cliff]

no i survived plant

[potent tree]

5oak was level 41

[unborn cliff]

i just didnt find a joker

[potent tree]

now we get to the fun stake in ghost deck: black

so we can ankh without worrying ourselves!

early erosion?? credit card in buffoon pack pls

[hearty tundra]

What are you guys doing in this scenario

[potent tree]

hack dies

wait

what hand you playing

[hearty tundra]

Flush

[potent tree]

club flushes? yeah hack dies anyway

if you get canio free rtb synergy

[shell dagger]

nice

[alpine halo]

Is ankh worth it here, supernova has 25 mult and throwback is 1.75

[alpine halo]

@potent tree

Hope you don’t mind

[shell dagger]

i wouldnt

[alpine halo]

Alright

[potent tree]

you'd have to sell something to even be able to use ankh

your joker slots are currently full

[soft vapor]

Oh wow blueprint

[shell dagger]

Foiled again

[potent tree]

bro have have 2 consecutive judgements given me hack

i'm playing flush five ace of spades ffs

[soft vapor]

They REALLY want you to run wee

[potent tree]

i can kill one of the DNA i assume? i've been waiting too long for hologram

[unreal iron]

a brainstorm can be anything, even a dna!

[novel hound]

best run yet and beat blue stake ts was my build

i got lucky with ancient this time (i use checkered)

[unreal iron]

looks inside

[unreal iron]

fyi ancient doesnt care about what suits are in the deck

it still cycles clubs and diamonds too

[novel hound]

yeah i noticed this like a few runs ago

i thought it’d be like castle but i ended up getting lucky with the suits

and even when it picked a suit i didn’t have i still had photochad

[tranquil steppe]

Very nice!

[nova mantle]

madness and splash gold stiockers!!! i was scraping the bottom of the barrel for some scoring here

[tranquil steppe]

Yep kill a dna

[nova mantle]

25 jokers left now, i should probably get this before new years eve

[potent tree]

i was forced to pick up jolly to survive early antes and now i am regretting it

[shell dagger]

without jolly you might have died

[fallow briar]

not a bad start at all

[novel hound]

when the reply is accidental 🔥🗜️

[fallow briar]

haha i was gonna reply but forgot

and left it on and sent that

my bad

[paper echo]

should i commit piracy 🤔

probably noy

[fringe crest]

uhh

yes but dont for the latro

[magic plover]

HELP PLS I got a mime baron run going and im not sure if i should take this showman or keep the drivers license

[fringe crest]

we dont rob localthunk

[fringe crest]

WHY do you have drivers license

[magic plover]

cause i just got antimatter

[fringe crest]

why would you buy it

[fallow briar]

showman is better

[magic plover]

cause why not more score

[fallow briar]

i think

[fringe crest]

yes get rid of it

[fringe crest]

by a long shot

shouldnt be a question

[fallow briar]

what if the drivers is the sole thing that hes relying on to barely score? idk man what about the 0.1% chance

nah im kidding

x3 mult is like nothing

[magic plover]

So now should i copy more plutos or temperance for $$

[shell dagger]

what ante is it

[magic plover]

13

[shell dagger]

pluto

[magic plover]

thanks

[potent tree]

perkeo sacrificed himself for the greater good...

[placid quartz]

is this optimal layout

[paper echo]

i finally have balatro on steam

i can do modding and shit

[magic plover]

remember to move the bp to perkeo to copy twice

[shell dagger]

copy trib

[placid quartz]

oh my god i didnt even consider that

consequences of not playing in ~9 months

[magic plover]

wait how is trib better?

wouldnt the sock retrigger photo and trib as well

[quartz ember]

card+sock and trib+trib

[shell dagger]

if you play 5 face cards, copying trib is x2^10 while copying sock is x2^6

[magic plover]

mmmmmmmmmmm

[shell dagger]

essentially the copied trib is also retriggered by sock

[quartz ember]

vs card+sock+sock and trib

[magic plover]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[quartz ember]

photo you can disregard in this equation since its just a difference of 2 or 4x

[potent tree]

guys do i take burnt here and try to level up flush five

[shell dagger]

no

[magic plover]

also kinda unrelated but i keep the showman here until i find another blueprint, brainstorm, mime or baron right?

[shell dagger]

just blueprint or brainstorm

[vale wharf]

BALATRO POP QUIZ
What's the lowest score you can get in a round? 0 score excluded

[magic plover]

2?

[fallow briar]

3?

[vale wharf]

I feel like it's 3

[wary flicker]

7

[magic plover]

does high card give u one chip?

[shell dagger]

3

[fallow briar]

the half base score boss blind with 1 debuffed card?

[wary flicker]

5

its 5x1

oh yh 5

[shell dagger]

yep, debuffed with double or nothing challenge

[vale wharf]

Wait, but what is it debuffed by?

[shell dagger]

otherwise cards can’t be debuffed

[magic plover]

balatro wizards holy shit

also here u copy mime once and baron once right not baron twice/mime twice

[shell dagger]

it depends on what cards you’re playing

if it’s steel red seal then both are the same

gold red seal then 2 baron 0 mime is best

[magic plover]

usually its something like this

[shell dagger]

1 baron 1 mime then

[magic plover]

or glass king and all the others are silver

[magic plover]

alr thanks
