[potent tree]

well rip run. luckies got to 11.25x each.

i had to sell chad against VL so i could further build my existing cat

also my flush fives were at best level 2 that time

[uncut slate]

rich get richer with precisely $1 and play a high card with no levels = 1 point right?

[fallow briar]

do i take troubadour?

[ancient gyro]

good enough

[fallow briar]

i skipped it

[uncut slate]

wise

[fallow briar]

cool i got double heart

[shell dagger]

what happened

[ancient gyro]

wish i knew

[shell dagger]

nuked

[ancient gyro]

probably got too racist on one server

[pale wolf]

not quite a full 11 stack but bottom 3 hands filled out

[pale wolf]

woah what

[pale wolf]

did your Discord account get nuked??

[ancient gyro]

yeah

still wondering what happened

[pale wolf]

How does that even happen

i mean i guess you dont know lol

[cosmic sun]

did you say something remotely age related

💀

[ancient gyro]

i have a couple theories but it's something so out of reach

[heady narwhal]

hello

[shell dagger]

they don’t nuke your account straight away for that

just disabled

[pale wolf]

oh yeah sarcasm about age doesn't get taken as sarcasm

[ancient gyro]

no, i don't recall getting blown up just for offending mha administrators

[shell dagger]

a shoot the moon run for your return

[ancient gyro]

oh joy

here's my gift

since well, haven't played in a couple days

[heady narwhal]

woag that's a lot of cards

[ancient gyro]

woahg

[pale wolf]

did that happen???

[warm kindle]

huh 😭

hopefully youve changed if thats real

[potent tree]

bro is all for one

[terse vale]

who is this newgen

[compact gazelle]

1

i think

on rich get richer with $1

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[terse vale]

prolly 2 right

[terse vale]

ohhh

letme see

ohh yup

[warm kindle]

pretty sure its 3 or 4

if u play high card vs the flint

[serene forge]

5

[tulip pond]

Let’s not go any higher

[serene forge]

high card would be 3 x 1 then if you play a 2 that becomes 5 x 1

[warm kindle]

oh yeah it halves before u play the card

I thought it was the other way around for a sec 😭

[terse vale]

the lowest score is 0 but by the rules ig its 1

[shell dagger]

Play a debuffed hc in the double or nothing challenge

[serene forge]

and there's no way to play a debuffed card into

oh

you're right actually

[compact gazelle]

if were allowing challenges its definitely on rgr

1 chip x 1 mult

[shell dagger]

true

[grim thunder]

Got C++ :D

[warm kindle]

wait yeah u can just get to 1 dollar lol

[tulip pond]

so 3

[warm kindle]

woudlnt it be 1

[warm kindle]

0 excluded

[shell dagger]

0 doesn’t require challenges

[tulip pond]

if you’re including challenge decks yes

[terse vale]

hypothetically if I was at 1 dollar tho

[tulip pond]

otherwise it’d be 5

[terse vale]

does 0x stencil do anything : have i asked this before

[tranquil steppe]

Chicot has been helpful for me a grand total of 1 time

[tulip pond]

gives x1 mult

[terse vale]

aaaww

[terse vale]

chicot is peak

cmonn lets get into some discussion

[tulip pond]

peakcot

[hybrid tendon]

brainrot

[pale wolf]

Wait I'm stupid that was 3 years ago

It's literally the caption

[placid quartz]

whats the optimal setup here chat

[candid niche]

amazing

[blissful scroll]

Play cards ℹ think

[terse vale]

ok peak

my plan worked

[placid quartz]

of course

[ancient gyro]

i rather take a clean madness than an eternal madness

[terse vale]

the only reason I see this is for pivoting
and why would you wanna pivot out of madness cus at a certain point its better to just go with it

[ancient gyro]

idk I can't think of anything controversial rn

[terse vale]

to me its like
if you take the madness, thats the gameplan for the whole time
if you don’t, its not the right choice

but idk

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

what did you sell

[candid niche]

hallucination

[serene forge]

ah

[candid niche]

i had a Scary Face too, but i sacked him for Blueprint

the yuri was too strong

[serene forge]

no scoring jokers????????

[west perch]

dude i thought shortcut was like oh you can make straights either like normal or aternating every card. i didn't realize you can add gaps like anywhere.

this run gonna go hard

[candid niche]

level 19 flush five queens of hearts lucky cards, half of which had red seals and holo

so... big base score

[serene forge]

ah

reasonable

[pale wolf]

did you read what the card says lol

[west perch]

yes

in fact that's how i knew to post this revalation

[candid niche]

who should i try to copy?

[shell dagger]

chad probably but it’s not a huge deal

[candid niche]

aka which 3 jokers do i sack

[shell dagger]

I’d rather have rebate instead

[candid niche]

spoker would be funny, but....

oh yeah uh, the Fool's text box is covering Rough Gem

[pale wolf]

fun

oh yeah definitely would have rebate over invisible here

[distant vault]

I hate chicot

[pale wolf]

:V

[candid niche]

...i lose...

i couldnt roll down to find an actually scoring joker...

[distant vault]

When I get chicot

[pale wolf]

why did you sell everything

😭

[terse vale]

hjhgggggg

[candid niche]

to get a rebate?

[terse vale]

whw

[pale wolf]

yeah but you don't need to sell all of your things

[candid niche]

wait, i must be stupid

[terse vale]

but your acoring

THE CHAD

not too many bad hits

[pale wolf]

sadge

[candid niche]

idk how to play zodiac deck

[pale wolf]

it might not be real

[distant vault]

Idk how to play

[candid niche]

we're winning

yo, rick!?!

[distant vault]

Let's see

Yess

[candid niche]

with a wasteful in the shop!?

[distant vault]

Not today chicot

[candid niche]

and a rebate in the next shop!? crazy

[terse vale]

i’ve seen less talk about zodiac deck nowadays

[distant vault]

Yorick my fav

[terse vale]

idk what thats about

[covert storm]

Any way of winning. I was trying to get a flush and the CARD would not drop

[coarse silo]

Top 5 worst feelings in Balatro is getting a hand like this

[covert storm]

I got to excited because I really wanted to try swashbuckler with the egg

[distant vault]

No

[covert storm]

Let me go cry for a second

[distant vault]

I feel you

[covert storm]

Or let me just try the seed again, wish I can just restart

[distant vault]

It happens

Me when I skip twice for double investment tag and die instantly

[covert storm]

The ACE DID IT

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

[distant vault]

🔥 🔥

[covert storm]

I survive

[candid niche]

me when my closeted friend comes out

[distant vault]

I hate nebula deck...

[covert storm]

My New Year’s resolution is to get abs so I can make thirst traps for the broskis

[terse vale]

is there gas in the carrr

[distant vault]

Yea why

[terse vale]

I think the people down the haaall know who you are

[distant vault]

🙏

[candid niche]

do i hex the rick?

[pale wolf]

doc stopped playing it because he needed challenges

[pale wolf]

That's not the reason but I'll choose to believe it is

[candid niche]

he's 4x right now

[distant vault]

Depends

Do you survive with out flat mult

What's your scoring like

[candid niche]

probably? i can just buy planets

[pale wolf]

id just immolate

[terse vale]

not worth it

[queen kindle]

yall ever just pivot to five of a kind

[terse vale]

rick is fine on its own

[pale wolf]

That's too free of an option pass up

[terse vale]

also you have rebate

[distant vault]

I would immolate

[candid niche]

fair

[distant vault]

Yes

[candid niche]

rip random cards

hello $20

[distant vault]

Yorick is already gonna have massive x mult

[candid niche]

yeah ante 1 rick is crazy

[pale wolf]

maybe if there wasn't the best spectral card sitting right next to it it would be a consideration

[candid niche]

diet photochad :|

[soft vapor]

I fumbled so hard it's inse

[candid niche]

i guess abstract dies

[soft vapor]

insane

[distant vault]

My boy abstract

[candid niche]

or face, actually. i dont have too much face card deck fixing

[distant vault]

He's underappreciated

[terse vale]

ooh ok

[pale wolf]

I don't think that's the reason but

[candid niche]

i used to have the flush flat mult joker, but abstract is just better

[pale wolf]

I don't know maybe all the people playing zodiac are just too good for this chat now

[candid niche]

who dies for Sock, Abstract or Scary Face?

[terse vale]

prolly neither

[gilded hawk]

i think my cat got messed up somewhere along the way

[terse vale]

but it depends ig

it aaaaalways depends

[candid niche]

i need abstract for flat mult, i guess scary can die

[soft vapor]

DIED on VERDANT LEAF for no reason

[terse vale]

do u need the chips

[candid niche]

i dunno

[soft vapor]

Guess I needed more money

[candid niche]

its ante 3, i can probably find chips later

[distant vault]

Fuck photochad

[candid niche]

i could be funny and sell the photo for the sock

[terse vale]

fair but still

[terse vale]

I mean ngl

👀

[candid niche]

scary buskin gaming?

[soft vapor]

Ouchie ouch my toe hurts from having a splinter

[terse vale]

sure but try to find alternatives

on score is scaryyyyy

[pale wolf]

im not crazy about going in on sock photo but you dont need scary if so

[terse vale]

oh yeah I forgot sock and photo if scary face gets removed

[pale wolf]

or abstract really

[distant vault]

Honestly just ditch photo

Fuck that shit

[pale wolf]

also a valid choice

[terse vale]

I think abstract is needed for now

[distant vault]

Yes keep abstract

[candid niche]

i sacked Scary face

[distant vault]

I like the look of half joker I'd ditch photo for it tbh

But I play pairs

[terse vale]

lets hope your mult stacks up

[candid niche]

....and i found chad

amazing!

[steep iron]

doubleskip for this....

[terse vale]

would have been a better line if you removed mult but whatever

lmaooo

[obsidian lotus]

whats the play here

[candid niche]

do i cut abstract for true photochad?

[pale wolf]

abstract is 15 which means that you need a base mult of at least four to match it with sock photo

[obsidian lotus]

do I take chad?

[terse vale]

abtract

[distant vault]

Bro yorick keeps winning

[soft vapor]

Me when I'm liteeally investment tagging it rn

[terse vale]

unless ur in a shop

[candid niche]

i'm playing mostly flushes since i took Paintbrush, so

[pale wolf]

ew

[terse vale]

sorry i’m kinda tipsy i’m lowkey stupid

[pale wolf]

yes

[pale wolf]

oh drunk sounds good

[steep iron]

LEAVE ME ALONE

[obsidian lotus]

Do I take chad or do I just go to the next round

[pale wolf]

goated

[candid niche]

and we got director's cut to block the nefarious

[terse vale]

ya i’m basically that

idk what i am right neow

but i know i’m him

[pale wolf]

right meow

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[distant vault]

Is photo an instant buy for you guys

[pale wolf]

hell no

photo sucks

[blissful scroll]

Hmm

[serene forge]

remove bloodstone

[distant vault]

Same

[serene forge]

nope

almost never

[distant vault]

Me neither

[pale wolf]

photograph is basically hand specific scaling plus mult without retriggers

[terse vale]

it depends but 98% of the time no

[obsidian lotus]

replace blood stone with chad?

[terse vale]

like if im on a straight run or need early scoring

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[terse vale]

otherwise no

[distant vault]

Yeah I won like 2 runs with it while getting c++

[candid niche]

i got holo on Rick from a wheel

baller

[pale wolf]

well no, I had many photo chad runs during my stickering

That's not because I ran into photo and then Chad, it's because I ran into Chad and then photo

[covert storm]

Hello kings and queens

How is everyone

[serene forge]

my first gold stake win was photochad but I genuinely don't think ive used photochad a single time after that on gold stake

[distant vault]

Im not gonna lie I never take chad either.

[pale wolf]

That sucks

[distant vault]

Maybe I suck

But

Idk why I would

[pale wolf]

Chad is very good

[obsidian lotus]

and which do I blueprint, the face card retrigger?

[candid niche]

...now what

[distant vault]

For lucky cards?

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[distant vault]

Im guessing for enhancements

[pale wolf]

it turns lucky cards into gold seals, gold seals into investment tags, and glass into a win

[candid niche]

i could hit a face card with aura for later in case i get a deja vu

[distant vault]

Good point

[ancient gyro]

any enhancement, gold seals,any on card joker irrespective of scoring or econ

given less deck fixing requirements than the other retriggering alternatives

[pale wolf]

your supposed to be pink

i dont like this

[ancient gyro]

hehehehaw

[terse vale]

chad is so versatile

[barren wigeon]

would chad working like it does in multiplayer be a good nerf or would it be too bad

[distant vault]

I'll make more use of it like that

I just associate chad with photo and it made me hate both of them

[ancient gyro]

wdym more 💔

[obsidian lotus]

which joker do I blue print?

[distant vault]

I never used it

[obsidian lotus]

jorick is at 18x

[candid niche]

oh boy....

who dies for blueprint?

i mean, brainstorm

...i guess i can sack Sock...

[signal frigate]

My biggest red card

[fervent wolf]

3 oak of daggers lol

[signal frigate]

This thing becomes 10 times better with Mega Pack tags

Because of Anaglyph

[candid niche]

is it better to copy Chad or Photograph?

[signal frigate]

Photo

[candid niche]

i always forget what they say is optimal

[signal frigate]

That's white stake so

I'd actually consider selling sock

Yorick is for safety because there's still 2 antes left for Plant to appear

[candid niche]

i have Director's

[signal frigate]

What's your suit for your faces?

[candid niche]

trying to centralize to Clubs

[signal frigate]

You don't wanna reroll plant only to roll into a suit debuff your deck is built on

[candid niche]

i have backups in Spades though

[signal frigate]

That's good at least

[candid niche]

i'm playing Flush right now due to lack of Death

[signal frigate]

Love the art on that pfp btw

[candid niche]

thanks, i made it myself

it was my halloween costume :3

[signal frigate]

Anyways yeah, I'd still sell sock

That's only one retrigger

[candid niche]

true

[signal frigate]

Unless you're pivoting to Idol later on

[candid niche]

again, Death/Hung Men drought

i have a few nice Foil lucky queens, but like

[signal frigate]

That's why we get purple seals for this

[candid niche]

havent been lucky enough for them either

[signal frigate]

Lack of those tarot only means you're not generating enough

Based on my experience at least

Yk what? I'm tackling Black Deck for my next Gold Stake

I wanna get this shit over with before I suffer again

[candid niche]

next shop has a death and a fool

[signal frigate]

We kinging

[candid niche]

...and a Hung Man, but I don't have the consumables voucher ;-;

[distant vault]

Oh my god

[candid niche]

sad

[distant vault]

Should have been on yellow deck

[candid niche]

this is tricky.

i have the opportunity to unlock flush five right now, but i don't have the deck fixing to make it consistent

[signal frigate]

Buffoon packs are generally worth it

[distant vault]

I agree

[paper echo]

what if instead of the plant we called it the evil doom blind

[candid niche]

do i play flush five now, or do I keep with Flush?

i guess i can try flush five

[steel chasm]

Should I

[candid niche]

no synergy with Even Steven. don't do it /j

oh boy....

is Invisible Joker worth it here? who would have to die?

my econ is pretty solid thanks to seed money

[wooden aspen]

Help

Retcon in shop

[candid niche]

i really dont know if i should let go of Rebate for invis

[wooden aspen]

Thou what if its a hack seed thooooo

[candid niche]

wdym hack seed

i dont know what that means

worst case, it dupes photo or chad

best case, i get another rick or brainstorm

i sold rebate

[serene forge]

I hate BLoodstone

[wooden aspen]

I dont understand stuntman

Why is he a Rare joker

[fiery nymph]

because hes a goat

[candid niche]

nice, we got a second brainstorm from Invis

who do i copy though

[wooden aspen]

But hes soo baddd

-2 handsize???

For only chips

[signal frigate]

Why not, that's a cool queen

[wooden aspen]

Like holy

[signal frigate]

Lesbian queen

[fiery nymph]

that can be a good thing though

[signal frigate]

If you're talking about Stuntman, he was the MVP in this gold stake run last night

[steel chasm]

1 in 2 my ass, my flush didn’t trigger bloodstone once

[signal frigate]

I lacked the chips

And Stuntman gave me more than enough

Because I was running pairs with Seeing Double

I could beat VV with it

[ancient gyro]

250 chips for essentially no scaling time or effort is welcome

[signal frigate]

That's like a whole multiplier

It's pretty damn good

You're gonna learn to appreciate it in Plasma too

[fiery nymph]

if ur running pairs stuntman pretty much doesnt have drawbacks

[ancient gyro]

well

it can

[fiery nymph]

aside from hand effects

[signal frigate]

It didn't matter

[novel hound]

please game give me photograph

[distant vault]

Riff saved the run ante 2

[fiery nymph]

i like using it with blackboard

[signal frigate]

Because I was running Pairs

[candid niche]

guys, who do i brainstorm

[signal frigate]

That econ is fucked

[signal frigate]

Even it out

Actually you can't even do that

[fiery nymph]

[signal frigate]

[candid niche]

rick is x15 btw

[signal frigate]

Then that.

Storm that and watch the numbers go

[novel hound]

i’m so screwed bruh

[terse dock]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1415780753735680151 collwct

[signal frigate]

Copy Card Sharp

[terse dock]

Pjoto

[candid niche]

oh yeah. 2 billion score

[signal frigate]

Was I right?

[wooden aspen]

I dont need stunt joker if i have a high hand level right

[terse dock]

Honestly you dont want photo here

Play pair lobotomy and win

[wooden aspen]

Like level 8 pairs ante 4

[terse dock]

If you photo you get p(l)ants'd

[signal frigate]

Have it copy Card Sharp and he probably wins

[signal frigate]

He's ante 7

He can't get Planted after this

[terse dock]

fuck

[novel hound]

grand total of 6k score from that hand

[terse dock]

ok they didn't block fuck in general

[signal frigate]

Do you have a glass or sumn?

[novel hound]

i have zero discards now and a half and half split on my suits it’s over

[terse dock]

The plant will appear just to screw them

The censorship is getting ridiculous

[signal frigate]

How'd you get this bad? You have no money

[signal frigate]

Fuck, shit, bitch, ass

Sounds good to me

[novel hound]

whatever i’m hoping this next run can be good

[candid niche]

guys, do you have like, pet names for cards

[terse dock]

Cant say fuck t h em

[signal frigate]

Fuck them clankers

[novel hound]

i’ve won the past like 3 stakes with photochadprint

[candid niche]

ie. "gross michael" (i hate this one) and "rick"

[signal frigate]

Idk, seems like a skill issue to me

[signal frigate]

Yo! Rick!

[terse dock]

This is targetted

[signal frigate]

Michael, Sharpie, Green Boi, Kanye West

[signal frigate]

I saw that for a whole 10 seconds before it disappeared

[terse dock]

Ricky Y., The Goat, bbc

[distant vault]

What happened

[signal frigate]

My question is, how the fuck did they screw their econ so bad for 7 antes?

[terse dock]

Not playing well

[signal frigate]

Their financial skills are down 6ft under

[distant vault]

Unlike others I don't need econ to win

[candid niche]

i got Jimbo (obvious), Groker/Grimbo (green joker), Bloker/Blimbo (blue joker), Terrance (temperance), Herman (hermit), Minos Prime (Death/Judgement), Goldker (golden joker), Rick (yorick), and a few others i'm forgetting

[signal frigate]

This would've loved a Vagabond

[distant vault]

True

[signal frigate]

I call them Jimmy

[distant vault]

These rentals are leaving me dry

[signal frigate]

I'm stealing Herman

But my favorite is Kanye West

Try to guess who that is

[cyan rain]

peak run

[terse dock]

showman

[signal frigate]

The epitome of a Gold Stake run

Pivot galore

[cyan rain]

4 gold staked decks

already

[terse dock]

These arent the same run

[signal frigate]

I'm at 8 in my current profile

[cyan rain]

yes

peak runs

u got mails

[signal frigate]

My Steam is finally showing the correct Playtime

[terse dock]

You changed to yellow deck midgame?

[cyan rain]

im android

[signal frigate]

300+ hours, would've been 400 by now if it didn't separate the offline one

[cyan rain]

if its possible

[signal frigate]

Also wrong

[terse dock]

Is there a racist joker

[candid niche]

...mistakes were made

i accidentally Wheeled my last naked joker

no more ecto :(

[terse dock]

its time to play FETISH OR ADVANCED BALATRO TERMINOLOGY

[candid niche]

[signal frigate]

Idk, you decide that

[terse dock]

Showman feels pretty racist

[signal frigate]

How so?

[terse dock]

So does wrathful joker and bloodstone

[signal frigate]

That was the wrong answer

It's Canio.

Kanye West = Canio

[terse dock]

Generic 1950s announcer

You know

[signal frigate]

How is that racist exactly?

[terse dock]

It's the 50s

[signal frigate]

Yeah?

[uncut matrix]

everythibg is racist nowadays

[terse dock]

Also showman promotes getting only one kind of thing

[signal frigate]

You mean to tell me a dude announcing the news is racist?

[terse dock]

(Joker supremacy)

[candid niche]

oh, i forgot Eric (eris)

[terse dock]

eris is enis

[signal frigate]

I only give pet names to jokers, not other cards

[manic talon]

Showman is 100% racist, hes a Showman ffs

PT barnum type guy

[terse dock]

yeah have you seen what those bastards were up to in the 1800s

above average height women in the circus

[signal frigate]

They tend to be the most diverse people though

Just

In a wrong way

[static chasm]

this is the first thing i read when i enter the server

[signal frigate]

Because they parade people who are different in Circuses

[manic talon]

the showman himself is a racist old white guy most of the time

[terse dock]

And why are they considered different exactly

[signal frigate]

There's a movie about a Showman

[terse dock]

He wasn't the greatest

[signal frigate]

They have something different

Not considered "Normal" to others

[signal frigate]

It was a great movie though

But yeah, the story was told behind a curtain

[manic talon]

the movie made we read the actual history

[terse dock]

Bro couldn't parry the flintlock bullet

[manic talon]

that guy did not deserve a movie

[signal frigate]

Hid stuff that he did

[candid niche]

Pterodactyl Barnum?

[signal frigate]

Speaking of, I am not sure if I'm allowed to mention this but someone's making a movie about a certain dude who had everyone using deepfakes for

[terse dock]

Proto Mister Bean

im serious look at him he looks like mister bean

[terse dock]

We are jolly kirk we carry the sleigh

[dreamy creek]

is blueprint worth it in this situation?

[fiery nymph]

what does the cake pop do

also is that roblox? 😭

[unborn cliff]

i dont know is it

[fiery nymph]

i dont have enough proof yet

it might be desmos calculator acting like its roblox

you never know

[unborn cliff]

all roads lead to desmos calculator

[crimson carbon]

ancient joker run :3

[fiery nymph]

stay safe out there

[novel hound]

worst thing to ever see as a checkered player

Downloaded last night. Have 7 hours in 2 days. This is bad, right?

[novel hound]

i can’t have fun if i’m not playing a flush every turn bruh

[sly plume]

hell yeah

I can't get my brain to think in Plasma but got it somehow anyway

[hybrid tendon]

bro's playing balatro on roblox

[young kestrel]

And uh, dont ask about the build, messing with negative tags

Now I look schizo cause of my internet

Sometimes, luck hits you

[hybrid tendon]

[atomic trout]

Flush Gold

[royal ore]

and when i do its like ante 2 rental perishable

[alpine basalt]

well I mean perishable isnt that bad

not like its truly needed

[royal ore]

[manic talon]

[serene forge]

why

lmfao

invis sucks

[acoustic kettle]

Invis my dad

[novel hound]

yay i beat purple stake

photochad my beloved (carried me through my last like 3 or 4 stakes)

[supple yarrow]

what are jokers to avoid in general at purple or higher stakes

[serene forge]

blowman and idol

[supple yarrow]

real photochad carries

[supple yarrow]

i seee, ty

[distant vault]

Hey jonkler

[sweet shard]

jonkling my jimbo rn

c++ x2 grind

[supple yarrow]

i might hop on and try beat yellow deck purple stake as my next practice run

[novel hound]

when the run got hanging chad + photograph + blueprint + burnt

[supple yarrow]

im not gonna lie my run that beat erratic purple stake as my first practice stake i got all of those too LOL

but i also had trading card and had sold burnt for certificate as i still needed trading at the time, not many tarots

[acoustic kettle]

Erratic isn't as fun as i imagined

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone forgives your sins

[supple yarrow]

i mean i only played erratic purple stake because i was told it would be a good deck/stake to practice deck fixing and money management bc im trash

and i mean i did kinda learn some deck fixing and stuff from it so they were right

[acoustic kettle]

I don't really deck fix

[blissful scroll]

hate this game

[supple yarrow]

lol, i didnt either but i want to eventually be able to beat gold stake so i do kinda need to learn it to have better odds

[acoustic kettle]

I have been high rolling a lot this streak

[ancient gyro]

me neither

[acoustic kettle]

Wins without any deckfixing

I somehow got two pairs on EVERY HAND after getting trousers

Without any deck fixing

[ancient gyro]

me when I hit the 66% draws 4 times in a row

[acoustic kettle]

I got it 30 hands in a row so

Wait no

35

I ended up with 70 mult trousers

Oversized pants

[shell dagger]

double stencil by ante 3

hee hee

[distant vault]

C+++ when. Gold sticker every joker on every deck

[sweet shard]

no

[distant vault]

😔

[potent tree]

one early ouija changes everything.

[modern panther]

Do I?

[potent tree]

credit card in buffoon pack trust

[shell dagger]

id rather sell 1 fool for cloud 9 tbh

scaling econ and scoring

brainstorm stinks

[modern panther]

But it is a copy effect...

[shell dagger]

copying what

[atomic trout]

Noooo

I got head!

Beheaded*

[modern panther]

The only time when you don't want head

[atomic trout]

I focused too much on Heart cards.

[acoustic kettle]

Black suits better

[modern panther]

Raffle my beloved

Egg, Chad and red card

[shell dagger]

what happened to brainstorm 🙁

[modern panther]

Died because I couldn't draw a 5

[shell dagger]

riiiiight

[modern panther]

Got crazy joker, then got cucked by my deck

[serene forge]

lava layer

[acoustic kettle]

Abandoned > yellow

[shell dagger]

Blue

[modern panther]

Goodbye red card

Also, black

[acoustic kettle]

Never played blue

[modern panther]

Oh, wait, hello, fellow cimp

[acoustic kettle]

[potent tree]

chat...is it time for another straight flush build??

[shadow spruce]

@crystal field i gold stickered the bean!

popcorn and bean are down what other jokers are hard to get stickers on

[modern panther]

Ehehehe

[shadow spruce]

are you watching balatro while playing balatro

[modern panther]

Ofc

[shadow spruce]

incredible

[modern panther]

I have Attention Deficit - Hey, Donuts!

[atomic trout]

🖕Bell!

High Card for the win

[modern panther]

Mother fu- goodbye, Tribe

[atomic trout]

I didn't realize how strong Bull is

[modern panther]

God, I'm sick of getting Photochad runs

[pale wolf]

then dont pick up photo

🦓

[shadow spruce]

i was gonna say

[potent tree]

are you fucking kidding me...

this is a loss

[ancient gyro]

keep a clean profile

[pale wolf]

when doc got tired of blue seals being an auto win what did he do?
stopped taking them

[ancient gyro]

i mean

[shadow spruce]

why's shoot the moon so high up lol

[shell dagger]

it’s simple goaded

[ancient gyro]

im just following the script

can't be a basic bitch in a sea full of bitches

[serene forge]

I just witnessed someone in celeste server die

[atomic trout]

Not enough High Card levels

[potent tree]

huh

[ancient gyro]

did they beat the level

[shell dagger]

Noo

[modern panther]

I'm going for faces anyway, like I always do, so why not? It's almost an easy win, with enough setup

[atomic trout]

Especially on Green Stakes

[serene forge]

they ate a mooncake that expired 2 months ago

[potent tree]

well at least they didn't have level 12 straight flush and lose to needle

[serene forge]

true

[pale wolf]

I feel like there's some circular logic going on here

[modern panther]

Emphasis on almost. Unlike a lot of Roffle's chat, I don't think Photochad is an instant win

[serene forge]

why would you always go faces

that's not how roguelikes work

[ancient gyro]

u don't see me going queens every run despite my peculiar flavor

[modern panther]

Bc fuck the system, I do what I want

[serene forge]

tribe sucks but why tribe

swash is infinitely more useless here

[ancient gyro]

sells for the most

👅

[serene forge]

but the

but the temperance value

[ancient gyro]

what's that

[modern panther]

Gift card + gegg + swash

[serene forge]

you're using photochad

flat mult is useless

[modern panther]

Am I the Jimbo now?

[lost vault]

going faces us always an easy win!
the heinous, nefarious, dastardly Plant

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[lost vault]

I hate Bilestone

[modern panther]

I meant Photochad. If you can get Director's Cut, you don't have to worry about Plant

[supple yarrow]

btw if c++ is all jokers gold sticker what is c and c+

[pale wolf]

simply choose the voucher

[lost vault]

there’s other counters, but also you wont always get director’s cut, not really a reliable strat

[pale wolf]

collection filled out, and all decks

[lost vault]

also

[pale wolf]

gold stakes

[modern panther]

C is full collection, C+ is all decks gold stake

[lost vault]

you dont always find photochad in every run

[supple yarrow]

i seee

[pale wolf]

photochad is powerful and nearly always should be a win but face builds generally kinda sux

its okay

[modern panther]

Umm... about that... there was a point when I did.

[lost vault]

skill issue

[modern panther]

Also, faces have a lot of synergy. Baron/mime, stm, sock, scary/smiley, Trib, Photochad.

[abstract beacon]

they have a bunch of synergy, but they also have a bunch of boss blinds that target them

[pale wolf]

and two boss blinds specifically catered towards them

baron sux

[modern panther]

Yes, but, it exists, so i have to acknowledge it

[abstract beacon]

does bad synergy count as synergy?

[pale wolf]

antisynergy is when they are bad for eachother

splash and rtb for one

[atomic trout]

I love Splash

Makes High Cards more powerful

[abstract beacon]

baron is really only strong for endless, so I'm not sure it really counts for face card synergy for conventional runs

[atomic trout]

[ancient gyro]

who's doing all the work in the group project

[shell dagger]

the main face synergies are econ ones

cos they don’t kill you if you get a bad boss

[pale wolf]

when i talk about how Ace is actually a pretty good rank, i dont mention scholar even though it exists

[sacred trench]

The easiest boss blind

On abandon deck

[pale wolf]

bc its not a factor

[ancient gyro]

pari isn't a scoring enabler but an econ enabler in the same sense

[pale wolf]

pair my dolia

[sacred trench]

Pants are a top tier joker

[pale wolf]

yea

[distant vault]

[pale wolf]

spare trousers is pretty broken

[atomic trout]

Why? I have Paradolia

[distant vault]

Angry monkey on

[sacred trench]

No face cards

[distant vault]

Staying

[pale wolf]

do i smoke or do I play balatro

[atomic trout]

But... Paredolia 😢

[pale wolf]

🦓

[distant vault]

Both

[potent tree]

man what a shop...

[pale wolf]

if i do that i lose

[ancient gyro]

plant is a non factor in general and more of a net benefit for other builds that have unconditional scoring (rtb, other scalers given their own benefits)

[pale wolf]

burnt joker win

[atomic trout]

The only time Abandoned Deck becomes hard, Paradolia with Scary Face, and Smiley, lol

[shell dagger]

what’s da streak at

[ancient gyro]

streak number six

[sacred trench]

Welp, guess that you're out of luck

[distant vault]

But you also win

[pale wolf]

5

😎

[sacred trench]

Unless you get Nacho Libre

[shell dagger]

donr lose

[potent tree]

temperance and fool in arcana pack so we got both burnt and banner

[shell dagger]

im back at 13

[atomic trout]

But yes, Abandoned is easy with the Plant. But the cards... give out so little points

[pale wolf]

I'm never losing again

[distant vault]

Guys my steak is 1

[ancient gyro]

the smoke will reset your streak do nut

[abstract beacon]

it really only matters for ante 1, maybe 2

[modern panther]

Okay, now I think Bonkler can go

[distant vault]

Why am I so bad guys

[pale wolf]

im gonna have a 1000 streak

[sacred trench]

Go for 5s and with an Ancient Joker

[pale wolf]

and it's going to be unprovable because I haven't recorded any of it besides the end of the runs

[sacred trench]

You don't have over hundred hours in the game

[atomic trout]

It's like the Checkered Deck, easy start, slooooooooooow continuing Flush scale

[distant vault]

X to doubt

[shell dagger]

mayyyybe bc you take the poly skip on ghost deck ante 1

[atomic trout]

You'd be Flushed out before Ante 4

[ancient gyro]

im more or less on the same boat because im not doing 30 minutes recording sessions fuck that

[distant vault]

Hey man I like dumb plays

[pale wolf]

got to stream it

[atomic trout]

I love doing dumb plays too

[distant vault]

I like making dumb plays cause when I win it feels better

[modern panther]

Also, am I the only one who resets if I see Pillar ante 1?

[distant vault]

Like this dumb skip

[fickle mesa]

makes bad play why am i losing so much

[pale wolf]

hi spussy!!!

[distant vault]

And still winning

[fickle mesa]

hi zebra!

[pale wolf]

[ancient gyro]

hey sadow

[pale wolf]

spadow (spussy shadow)

[distant vault]

Also the skips do hit sometimes

[ancient gyro]

pillar isn't even the worst boss blind a1

[pale wolf]

pillar is fine you just have to like pay attention to what you play

Don't go for two different suit flushes in a row if you can avoid it etc

[shell dagger]

barely top 3

[pale wolf]

hook and what

[ancient gyro]

manacle

[pale wolf]

manacle yea

[shell dagger]

that one i was trying to spell

[distant vault]

Manacle

[pale wolf]

man actual

[distant vault]

And hook

[ancient gyro]

the two boss blinds that mess with your 5 card draws

[pale wolf]

that reminds me

[ancient gyro]

manacle is spelt very close to how it's pronounced

[ancient gyro]

reminder?

[shell dagger]

i dont pronounce it ever

[atomic trout]

Another loss

[distant vault]

Man uh cohl

[distant vault]

Fire

[atomic trout]

Blueprint actually sucked lol

[shell dagger]

fin de partida :(

[atomic trout]

I got the bull at a good level of Chips but it wasn't enough for Ante 10

[modern panther]

Blue or purple?

[distant vault]

Blue

[ancient gyro]

azul

[abstract beacon]

how many of each do you have?

[modern panther]

2 blue 1 purp

[abstract beacon]

purple then

[ancient gyro]

doesn't really change the answer

[shell dagger]

more blue

[pale wolf]

nah i forgot to add a section to this idea #1451672219317960866 message

[distant vault]

Blue is still better

[abstract beacon]

2 blue is plenty

[distant vault]

Ummm

[ancient gyro]

wow default reactions suck

[pale wolf]

poor guy

[distant vault]

🔵

[modern panther]

Hold on

[atomic trout]

Paradolia and Ramen in Balatro 🤣

[ancient gyro]

im good thanks

[pale wolf]

brace yourself

[modern panther]

? You don't even know what I was gonna do

[distant vault]

Guys what deck

[atomic trout]

I just realized that the food Jokers are always getting eaten

[shell dagger]

black

[pale wolf]

this might be new hidden lore discovery

[distant vault]

Fuck

Okay

[modern panther]

Black

[ancient gyro]

im willing to bet money about how genius your idea will pan out

[distant vault]

[ancient gyro]

the one that im gonna play soon

[atomic trout]

I like Ramen when Burglar is involved. Which happpened on my game above

[pale wolf]

what if it was a nitro gift

[distant vault]

I'll do black.

[modern panther]

Cough cough

[atomic trout]

black?

[ancient gyro]

dude my idea for nitro bounties went up in smoke

[atomic trout]

Deck?

Stakes?

[distant vault]

Deck

[atomic trout]

Black... Stakes?

[pale wolf]

did you have like a bunch of nitro stuff to give away or something

[distant vault]

Black deck

Haha

Not bad

[atomic trout]

That looks Gold to me.

[ancient gyro]

i had like two gift trials and a little nitro gift I won't from a tournament a while back

[distant vault]

Will i fumble

[atomic trout]

You live dangerously

[distant vault]

Probably

[pale wolf]

dman

[distant vault]

Yup

[pale wolf]

appeal!

[atomic trout]

Approved.

[pale wolf]

I bet you can still request your data back from Discord somehow

[ancient gyro]

i already sent my request

[distant vault]

2 judgements and 2 wheels

[ancient gyro]

i dont much care at the end of the day

[distant vault]

From first mega

[ancient gyro]

took me an entire day to figure out that I've gone extinct

[sleek valley]

Had a silly build earlier

[distant vault]

Damn

[atomic trout]

Oh no

[distant vault]

Spectral calling my name

But I will resist

[modern panther]

Uhh... face goes?

[hardy fable]

ye but what if witspths

[distant vault]

Im thinking grabber.

[modern panther]

Or gift card?

[sleek valley]

Egg goes

[modern panther]

No. 44 dollar gegg does not go

[abstract beacon]

do you have max temperance value without gift card?

i guess so

I'd probably get rid of gift card

[amber forge]

What is gift card for then?

[atomic trout]

Christmas

[modern panther]

It was for bonkler, but he's gone now

[sleek valley]

Then you dont need it anymore

[pale wolf]

Im back

[atomic trout]

Gift Card and Egg are the best for Temperance

[abstract beacon]

gift card is still good for building temp value, even without an egg

but with an egg, its a bit overkill

[atomic trout]

Nonsense, it's easy eco

If you can find Temperance

[pale wolf]

I noticed a curious lack of black deck

[sleek valley]

You're at max temperance value with the egg. Gift card isnt offering anything extra.

[modern panther]

Heavy breathing I don't need it... I don't need it...

[amber forge]

Yea 1 or the other, I’d sell egg if you’re trying to go endless

Never mind lol

[ancient gyro]

most ppl dont notice

[pale wolf]

🦓

[atomic trout]

Black Deck is the best deck. For losing often.

[pale wolf]

yes.

[atomic trout]

Can you imagine the original Gold Stakes on Black Deck? -1 Hand?

[pale wolf]

my best lose streak is prob black deck.

[pale wolf]

hand size.

[atomic trout]

Hand size? Oh..

[heavy solstice]

So satisfying

[atomic trout]

From what I learned about Gold Stakes... oh god where's my ECO?

[scenic mortar]

can i win balatro pokerless

[atomic trout]

I can win Balatro Planet-less 😄

I kidd, that's hard.

[potent tree]

i may have found 3 ectos in 2 antes...

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[atomic trout]

Is that a gay Matador?

[serene forge]

this trio is so useful

[potent tree]

indeed

[potent tree]

also indeed.

[atomic trout]

I forgot how useful and somehow usless Matador can be, I usually go for extra Hands or Blue Deck.

I learned that it works on the Bosses that NOT ALLOWED activates.

[potent tree]

yeah i had psychic the previous ante

[atomic trout]

You must play 5 cards. Now.

[azure ginkgo]

This is possibly the most god-awful, scuffed build I've ever run and it got me my very last gold stake win. i love this game so much

[ancient gyro]

flint and card debuffs are usually the best matador targets

[potent tree]

can uncommon/rare tags bypass the shop limit

[atomic trout]

I don't remember Matador working on Flint?

[pale wolf]

wdym

[atomic trout]

Matador only works on Debuff card uses and Not Allowed plays

[ancient gyro]

study up

[atomic trout]

Well fuck me silly.

[pale wolf]

well no, they cant

[potent tree]

if i don't have overstock or overstock plus and i use 3 double tags on an uncommon tag, will 4 uncommon jokers generate in the next shop

[ancient gyro]

young padawan

[pale wolf]

they'll save themselves for reroll or next shop

extra ones

[potent tree]

noted.

[atomic trout]

The Ox sounds so dumb LOL You get $8 bucks, gone, $8 bucks. gone LOL

[azure ginkgo]

those tags just make the next naturally generated jokers that rarity/edition, they don't add jokers or anything. so if u get a shop with 0 jokers none will be consumed

[potent tree]

well uncommon/rare tags force those jokers to be generated

[pale wolf]

any boss that directly affects scoring, plus ox

[potent tree]

in place of other shop items

[azure ginkgo]

i read it as the editions mb, brain is fried. yeah itll just stack them up then it wont overflow the shop

[atomic trout]

The Ox does remove your debt

[potent tree]

all our brains are fried at some point dw

i've been grinding ghost deck the entirety of today

[azure ginkgo]

thats a fun one

[ancient gyro]

you have to be some special person to be in debt at ante 6+

[potent tree]

all 12 hours and 22 minutes consecutive

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[potent tree]

in golden needle, perfectly fine

[ancient gyro]

zebra I can't do the thing

i dont play challenges I can't unlock them

i don't like some of the challenges but mostly I wish I could play them on gold stake

[distant vault]

I died
