[shell dagger]

than perishable brainstorm?

was it that close

[vocal rose]

I obtained two perishable brainstorms

[vocal rose]

it had 5 rounds

and I was getting huge value

[potent tree]

ok NOW space has to die right

[vocal rose]

I found an ecto but wasn't able to get another x mult

in time

econ issue

[olive basin]

You kept joker because you wanted to joker sticker correct?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vocal rose]

no joker was actually the only option that would've gave me more scoring lmfao

I had 100 dollars to roll down

and im being serious

I didn't get shit

[olive basin]

That is so shaw!

[vocal rose]

even then I would've scored enough

if crimson heart didn't have aura

it genuinely sniped the worst jokers

[distant vault]

Fucked

[vocal rose]

my highest hand was 200k and that was consistent

so ig I still had a 20% chance of losing

to vv

[distant vault]

[karmic garnet]

Tried to win with madness, made it to ante 7 boss then died

[olive basin]

There only one thing left to do

Run it back!

[olive basin]

What stake and was madness your only joker?

[karmic garnet]

White Stake and I kept trying to feed it while trying to find mult but no luck

[karmic garnet]

He also ate my brainstorm 😭

[olive basin]

Yeah madness literally drives you crazy by taking up all these jokers slots and essentially hindering you by not being able to add more jokers

[karmic garnet]

Madness is just a bit hungry that's all

[olive basin]

Shaw

I mean sometimes yeah

[potent tree]

absolute cinema. (i rely on constellation way too much these days)

[distant vault]

Bro taking a lovers instead of skipping

[red thistle]

Biblical levels of gluttony.

[karmic garnet]

Fat chud of a joker

[verbal oak]

Can all the gold diggers in chat convince me this is a bad start?

[storm dome]

had natural negative ancient and two legendaries

lost cuz no retrigers

[tranquil steppe]

Trash. No poly photochad?

[tranquil steppe]

Constellation is GOATed

[tranquil steppe]

Yeppppp. Red card is ass

[novel hound]

i just made this meme it maybe sucks

[ancient gyro]

my turn

[mild badge]

I finally completed one gold stake, I don’t know how people complete it for every deck that’s insane

[vocal rose]

okay

there is a play here you HAVE to do

if you don’t

unoptimal

[ancient gyro]

next round

[olive basin]

Smeared joker is good

[potent tree]

couldn't find any copies. constellation ended at 5.6x

[storm dome]

it's called insanity

[olive basin]

It called gambling you have to take a chance

[ancient gyro]

no shot this is a good method of scoring

i meant to send the other one sooner

[storm dome]

if it work it work.

[tranquil steppe]

lol I like it. Smeared is glorious for flush runs

Same with four fingers

[tranquil steppe]

It takes a lot of time but can be done. Congrats!

[glad scroll]

hey guys
idk why but my balatro doesnt seem to have any sound except one

[serene forge]

do you get paid to write things like this

[glad scroll]

can someone help me?

[lost vault]

mid joker

[glad scroll]

and its only the clicking one

[tranquil steppe]

Yes. $4 million

[serene forge]

damn

must be nice

[ancient gyro]

what a very informative and thought provoking statement

i died

[tranquil steppe]

Burnt can carry you far

[atomic trout]

Two Showman?

[olive basin]

Are you using head phones and on computer, xbox, or mobile?

[tranquil steppe]

Not enough

[atomic trout]

Does another Showman do more shows?

[olive basin]

Only rich people can trade showmans

[tranquil steppe]

He does matinee and night shows now

[atomic trout]

I would take it if it was Polychrome

[glad scroll]

i use headphones and its computer

[olive basin]

Have you tried updating your computer and turning it off and then back on. This usually solves 90% of any tech problems

[tranquil steppe]

The other 10% is solved by smashing it with a hammer

[olive basin]

If you have done this already then you actually have something going on

[glad scroll]

i will try updating

but really weird thing is its not sound overall only most sounds except one

[olive basin]

Computers are weird when they’re not up to date

[tranquil steppe]

Or when China hacks you

[olive basin]

This is somewhat true but china and Russia perform hacks on a larger scale and usually more organized towards governments and causing public anarchy

🤓

[unreal iron]

i love being weak to every single suit boss ever

i love it i love it i love it

[tranquil steppe]

lol yea. I would hope they’re not targeting you specifically

[unreal iron]

consider me a smeared HATER

its bad at doing this one thing

[olive basin]

No you hate blood stone

[heady narwhal]

best flush strategy tip: don't play flushes

[unreal iron]

i also hate bloodstone

i do hate smeared less than bloodstone at least

[tranquil steppe]

But flushes are the best

[olive basin]

Smeared has done nothing to you

He given you opportunities

[unreal iron]

flush players trying to cope with the fact that it scales just as fast as pairs do

plus its a 5 card hand

[olive basin]

made your life better at times

[unreal iron]

"but flushes are easy!" so are pairs bro i dont see your point at all

[olive basin]

But bloodstone takes

For it demand two things from you blood and a joker slot

[unreal iron]

if jupiter had ACTUAL planet scaling like 25/2 or 15/3 or something similar

then yes, an actual unique-ish hand type

but oh nooo its 15/2...

bummer

[olive basin]

See here I updated my computer and dont have to worry about that

[heady narwhal]

earth and planet x should be buffed before jupiter i think

[hidden lance]

speculative burglar

[atomic trout]

Let's play "What will Invisible Joker become?"

[glad scroll]

ok
restarted pc
still no sound

can it be related to the fact that im still on windows 10?

[olive basin]

Dude Windows 10 officially ended free support on October 14, 2025

[tranquil steppe]

Card sharp

[olive basin]

Meaning you not getting anymore security updates in the future

[atomic trout]

Double Steel

[glad scroll]

ye
i forgor to updatre

[atomic trout]

Easy victory

[glad scroll]

but still

it shouldnt be related to my sound problems right?

[tranquil steppe]

Double steel is sick

[olive basin]

Not directly related but you should probably do something about that in the future depending on your circumstances

[atomic trout]

2.6x Metal

[glad scroll]

maybe

[olive basin]

Continuing sound for Balatro

[glad scroll]

yeah

[atomic trout]

So many Cryptid

[olive basin]

did you load up the game and see if it fixed itself?

[glad scroll]

Yeah
It didnt

[olive basin]

You check your balatro settings and the music is turned up all that etc?

[glad scroll]

ofc

[olive basin]

You’re on Windows usually in the bottom right corner on your windows home pagw there a button that will open up sliders to adjust volume on games and applications

[glad scroll]

i dont think its windows related

[atomic trout]

Banana's weak!

[glad scroll]

beacuse i have like one balatro sound of clicking in menu

[olive basin]

To me it sounds like you turned down one of the settings in Balatro

[ocean lily]

do i take, stelzer is on 3 hands left

[wintry ice]

there's a rental certificate in the shop

which one do i take

[ocean lily]

im scoring like 20ish k

[ocean lily]

id probably take gold and the certificate, then sell cerificate when round starts

[glad scroll]

I really didnt

[wintry ice]

i wouldn't

it's also eternal

but even then i think it's worth it

[olive basin]

The only things that can affect sounds outside of balatro is windows or discord

[ocean lily]

oh its eternal, hell nah

[glad scroll]

Like
I never touched balatro sound settings

[ocean lily]

anyone

[cosmic maple]

I have two directions here :/ which do I go?

[wintry ice]

it has a 3 in 4 chance of being worth it

when the only bad hit is red seal

[olive basin]

Can I get a screenshot lol?

[wintry ice]

i think i'll take golden since i have a higher chance of getting blue seals

[tawdry burrow]

woah diamonds

[glad scroll]

Hmm
I will try turning off discord

[cosmic maple]

Yurp

[olive basin]

No that not what I’m saying

[glad scroll]

I know

But

[pale wolf]

the clicking one?

[glad scroll]

Yeah

[wintry ice]

tempted to just take fist and then sell it

[paper echo]

"oh boy, i sure do love my build thats based around one specific poker hand!"
the malicious and devious eye:

[tawdry burrow]

since fucking when is balatro on the xbox gamepass

[olive basin]

See windows and discord have things that allow you to manipulate your sound input and out based on the tabs you have open and when you’re using certain apps

[tawdry burrow]

and what's that mod that shows effects near the joker

[pale wolf]

are you sure thats not the noise from your mouse IRL?

[olive basin]

that why they could have a potential affect on your game sound

[wintry ice]

jokerdisplay

[tawdry burrow]

thanks

[tawdry burrow]

now what about this

[olive basin]

That what I’m starting to think

[atomic trout]

This is the end

[olive basin]

He could be trolling as well which would be very uncool but you know life is life

[atomic trout]

Nah, I'm fuckin around. Of course I win

[olive basin]

[pale wolf]

this is googleable

[ocean lily]

my steltzer just died and i got a photo 🥹

[pale wolf]

You're asking somebody to do a Google search for you

[wintry ice]

cert was a good idea

[pale wolf]

cheating imo

[wintry ice]

it does feel like cheating sometimes

[terse vale]

wut does

[ancient gyro]

it happens

[wintry ice]

cert

[pale wolf]

Blue seals

[terse vale]

ohhhhhh

[wintry ice]

also wtf you're back to your old pfp

[ancient gyro]

certificate

[wintry ice]

lol

[olive basin]

Cert is literally /give

[ancient gyro]

they got to me

[cosmic maple]

I want da banana so badly :(

Can't have it tho

[slender creek]

guys what joker in balatro would fit best as a metal band name

[potent tree]

oa6 surely goes here

[shell dagger]

ice cream

[terse vale]

seems better tgan nice

[wintry ice]

ig i delete aces

[pale wolf]

delayed gratification

[olive basin]

Green Joker

[wintry ice]

or 6s and 5s since they're not of much use to me

[cosmic maple]

Surely not, I have so many lucky cards

[cosmic maple]

?

[potent tree]

lucky cat would be better for that

[cosmic maple]

I know but I don't have it

Haven't found it

[glad scroll]

yes, i hear a distinctive balatro clicking sound

[glad scroll]

turned off everything except balatro, still nothing

[glad scroll]

im not

[terse vale]

dice*

[olive basin]

There should be a joker that does what cert does except enhanced cards

[cosmic maple]

Nah we luv dice

[terse vale]

would be booty

kinda

[pale wolf]

Cartomancer pretty much

[olive basin]

True cert is way better

[pale wolf]

cartomancer is that without deck bloat

[indigo laurel]

Isissusuhs raahhahahahahahaha THIS GAME SUCCKKKSSSS

[terse vale]

seals are way more valuable than one enhancement per round

[olive basin]

But idk just thinking of an aspect of Balatro that hasn’t been covered yet

[indigo laurel]

died ante 7 boss cus FUCKIN BOSS ROLLS SWITCHED UP MY CARDS AND I MESSED THE DEATH AND INSTEAD OF DEATHING STEEL I DEATHED LUCKY JAISISSUAUHS

[pale wolf]

dna is also that but with a hand penalty

[cosmic maple]

5 poly dice one neg lucky cat all lucky cards goes hard though I would love to see that

[pale wolf]

You only need three dice

[terse vale]

atleast you get to choose

[cosmic maple]

5 guarantees both hit

Money and mult

[pale wolf]

or sorry

4

4 dice brings it to 16 out of 15

[ocean lily]

if i get a perishable joker thats disabled, can that one finisher blind target it to disable?

[fading mango]

welp

struck me again

[pale wolf]

no

[naive cove]

Black deck.

[olive basin]

I mean at this point I would try googling

[opal pine]

what happens when you use strength on an ace?

[cosmic maple]

1-2-4-8-16-32 which fills the 20 requirement for mult and money

[terse vale]

2

[pale wolf]

so you need a dice for Lucky cards to work at all

lol

[terse vale]

it loops

[ocean lily]

i keep forgetting i picked up a negative burnt so im not lvling up my flushes with it 😭

[pale wolf]

it starts at 1

[terse vale]

from ace, it goes to 2 and back up

[ocean lily]

and its perishable and 2 rounds left

[pale wolf]

what?

where you getting 20 from

[naive cove]

How in the god damn fuck do you win with black deck on higher stakes

[cosmic maple]

Nah it would just be very fun to watch

[terse vale]

thats kiinda how it is in most card games anyways

[terse vale]

good decision making

[cosmic maple]

20 is the requirement for the money is it not?

[serene forge]

skill issue plant doesn't counter photochad

[terse vale]

and money management

[cosmic maple]

Am I remembering wrong?

[pale wolf]

Yes you are remembering wrong

[olive basin]

It always the basics mult chips , x mult and good econ. Understanding where your scoring comes from.

[pale wolf]

It's 1 in 15 for $20

[naive cove]

I feel like the optimal decision would be not picking black deck

[fading mango]

ye, well i just wanted an easy gold stake win

doing it for funsies

Mb gang I thought mult was 15 and money was 20

[terse vale]

tooooooooooo bad

[pale wolf]

oh hell no LOL it's one in five

[serene forge]

lesbian joker

[olive basin]

Then you’re not a true gambler

[cosmic maple]

Only a one in five? Damn lucky cards are better than I thought

[pale wolf]

for the mult

Lucky cards are essentially mult cards with a dollar and change added on

[ocean lily]

should i take blood stone, and should i replace scary face or smiley

[terse vale]

this fucking kid in the music shop i’m in holy shit

[pale wolf]

on average

[cosmic maple]

Drop the burnt it's perishable

[pale wolf]

I thought you were adding the denominators of the two different chances to get 20 and was out of my mind

[ocean lily]

its also negative

so im keeping it for temparance

[cosmic maple]

Oh forgot mb

Why does the negative gotta be perishable 🥀

[ocean lily]

if it wasnt negative i wouldnt have picked it up

[cosmic maple]

Understandable

[ocean lily]

dw, at least it wasnt from a skip tag

[cosmic maple]

I know that would've been a waste of a shop

[bronze bolt]

pansexual joker: any played hand gets 2x mult

[olive basin]

Black deck sucks but you gotta keep playing if wanna learn however if you’re generally getting destroyed and it been like 3 to 5 runs then play a different deck. Balatro is about taking your and most importantly having fun! @naive cove

[ocean lily]

anyone? its probably smiley that getting the boot since photo and bloodstone cover mult right?

[quartz hinge]

I think smiley actually scales better with bloodstone

it's flat mult not xmult

[ocean lily]

so scary is getting yeeted?

im yeeting the scary

[serene forge]

don't take bloodstone

[ocean lily]

why, isnt it just more score?

[serene forge]

nope

your setup is fine

[opal pine]

do you think I need more money🤔

[ocean lily]

even if scary/smiley get the boot?

[olive basin]

Take it and make chat go crazy

[ocean lily]

im half strugling, i need 2 hands to kill blinds

my flush is lvl 6

[serene forge]

well bloodstone won't help with that

[olive basin]

If you don’t need blood stone you’re chilling though

[serene forge]

its checkered deck you should be able to play multiple flushes

[olive basin]

You have chips mult and xmult

[pale wolf]

it probably makes sense to take it over scary

scary doesn't represent that many Bloodstone procs, and you have lots of retriggers

[ocean lily]

i only have 2 retriggers on a single card

[pale wolf]

lots of triggers I should say

[ocean lily]

max of 7 per hand

[terse vale]

prolly 5 total triggers usually right

I mean for scary face

[pale wolf]

3

[olive basin]

Lol

[terse vale]

and happy face and stuff

[olive basin]

Bloodstone can raise your score and you can play 3 hands pretty consistently but his lack of planets could get him killed

[ocean lily]

i have flush lvl 6 and no blue seals

others are 2pair lvl 2 and pair lvl3

rest lvl1

[olive basin]

Generally I would make decisions on my own and learn from my own mistakes

Make your choice

Whahahahah

[olive basin]

[wary flicker]

such astrange run but worked out in the end

brainstorming baseball card tho god

[ocean lily]

how can i check whats my highest hand this run

[olive basin]

Leave the run and look at it before going back in

[ocean lily]

whats the base for ante 8 gold stake?

[olive basin]

Right under the continue button

400k and

VV 1.4 million

[ocean lily]

ty

[brave goblet]

1.4m or 1.2m

[ocean lily]

my highest had is 100k so i probably need an upgrade

[brave goblet]

some xmult of some kind

[ocean lily]

ima take blood stone for smiley

[olive basin]

No you will die

you’re giving up mult for x mult

Meaning you be multipling by nothing

[ocean lily]

1st off, i genuenly fucking thought this was bp, 2nd take invis for scary or pass up, in case it hits buisnies or burnt?

[brave goblet]

only 100k with photochad? damn

[olive basin]

Man really sold the smiley face

[serene forge]

I would not

[ocean lily]

ok

[pale wolf]

astronomer!!!!!!!!

[vocal trellis]

I had a run with Blueprint and Baron, but booster packs with 0 Queen or Kings, and I found a total of 1 death, no strength, it was all bait😭

[foggy sun]

assuming burnt was obtained a shop or two before. I would take it, hold on until u sell burnt because it dies. and then just like. hope it doesnt hit buisness card

[olive basin]

This is very shaw

[brave goblet]

how much money did you have

I'm guessing not much

[vocal trellis]

I had lil money, I was trying so hard to get the deck online 😔

[foggy sun]

taking poly skip is diabolical

[pale wolf]

[brave goblet]

lil money? that's why

[serene forge]

poly skip and rare skip at once mind you

[ocean lily]

got 106k with like 4 blood stone procs on the half base blind

[olive basin]

Baron is a long term joker to obtain same with bp

[serene forge]

looks like you're screwed

unless you find dice literally right now

[vocal trellis]

I had at least 20 saved per round for interest, but it didn’t work out, should’ve invested in an econ joker 😔

[ocean lily]

i did 1mil with a glass card

i had the tarrot saved for so long in case i got in a pickle

[serene forge]

oh

well there you go

[pale wolf]

100x8 is 800?!

[ocean lily]

disabled jokers get the sticker right

[olive basin]

yes

[ocean lily]

thats how math works, yes

[olive basin]

Hornet we’re the fools we should have let him cook

[serene forge]

trial of the fool reference

[olive basin]

Perkeo?

[olive basin]

Man, my brain focused on the green spot and red hair

I’m ready for round two

[ocean lily]

WHO IS SCREWED!!!! WHO???!?!?!?

full joker setup, got flush to 10

[tranquil steppe]

Red hair?

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone that’s what’s up!

[pale wolf]

it wasn't supposed to be a game lol

[potent tree]

goofy ahh lineup that's barely made it past the last blind

[opal pine]

do I take money, hanged man or red card boost here?

[opal pine]

that isn't too bad of a setup actually

[olive basin]

One time I had bp and acrobat it was a nightmare

[pale wolf]

It's entirely dependent on your current scoring situation

[olive basin]

With the jokers flipped:(

[opal pine]

two flushes to finish

[pale wolf]

and what is red card at

[ocean lily]

btw this was my 2nd gold stake win, 1st was plasma(:

[olive basin]

20$ is 20$ take it that two packs in the future

[tranquil steppe]

Oh man you still have space?

[olive basin]

Plus more options

[pale wolf]

I'll say most of the time you do take the money but with absolutely no other Jokers I'm skeptical about scoring enough

[sand lily]

Getting photograph and hanging chad in the same shop is so wonderful

[tranquil steppe]

Money

[pale wolf]

I don't like chicken on the bone

[tranquil steppe]

Which money can help you with if you reroll

[olive basin]

Green stake though

[pale wolf]

taking risks where you don't need to is a recipe for losing, opting out of guaranteed survival and into having to roll for a chip Joker is not ideal if it's the situation

hence why I don't just instantly say take the money

It's still probably taking the money though

[potent tree]

in the words of bon jovi, we're livin' on a prayer

i've arranged my jokers correctly

[coarse silo]

Disney channel movie ahh lineup

[potent tree]

NYEH

[coarse silo]

That’s more impressive than beating the boss blind

[potent tree]

993

[last bolt]

son

[olive basin]

Best thing you can do is reflect on the run and ask yourself what could I have done differently or taken a different joker etc what decision did you make you get here.

[potent tree]

yeah i figured

i'm just tryna finish all the decks in order this time

[olive basin]

Then once you got it, run it back!

[potent tree]

but not on this seed, cause that won't count lmao

[rugged umbra]

Shouldve sold all jokers except blueprint, put steel on the king and pivot to baron mime with your 26 dollars

[potent tree]

on abandoned deck?

[tranquil steppe]

$20 is nice

[olive basin]

Ohh never replay seeds or do seeded runs you gain nothing from it

[potent tree]

yee

[rugged umbra]

Do not dwell on the past when you are abandoned

[olive basin]

The only time I ever do a seeded run is funny seeds in multiplayer battles

[opal pine]

+9

[magic heart]

Do I just go next?

[rugged pecan]

What would you even want it to copy…

[olive basin]

Perkeo is essentially needed for you to continue so yes

[rugged pecan]

As long as you can survive you keep going

[olive basin]

In truth His run is over

He might be able to serpent and nan inf

I don’t know how many kings you need etc

[serene forge]

well done

[olive basin]

But it non-plasma

[magic heart]

I don’t take a second soul

Right?

[olive basin]

A another soul would essentially end your run immediately

[faint linden]

What deck is easiest to stake-climb?

Checkered hits a MAJOR roadblock at Purple

I have all except Erratic

[olive basin]

You have all unlocked or gold staked?

[pale wolf]

probably fine then

oh and then chat loaded

[faint linden]

Unlocked. The highest sticker I have is Blue

[steep pulsar]

Is that true? Isn't there value in trying to analyze possible misplays

[olive basin]

You could play a seed over and over I guess there nothing wrong about it. However, two reason why you shouldn’t

[ancient gyro]

foul play taco bell

[opal pine]

do I take a planet card or skip?

[olive basin]

Balatro is a rng based game you would be playing something you might never play again in that exact scenario

It better to get exposure to the randomness then focus on one thing

And Secondly it time consuming @steep pulsar to replay run over and over

[ancient gyro]

if your planet is in the pack you take it, otherwise no. some exceptions could be a1-2 pack pickups

[ancient gyro]

ight

[opal pine]

I'm not really focusing on one specific card rn though, I don't really have a build yet trhough jokers or deckbuilding

[azure crow]

Hey guys ! Look all my beautiful joker ^^

[proper turtle]

just 5 more wins to c+

[lament smelt]

got canio and hanged man on ante 1 with magic deck

[ancient gyro]

then skip

tdl 👅

[lament smelt]

ahaha

[olive basin]

The bottom right corner is crazy 😭

[opal pine]

tdl?

blue seal or purple seal?

which do I take

probably purple to build my dekc

[humble gulch]

I might just cry right now

[faint linden]

What's the easiest deck to stake climb?

[pale wolf]

easiest for noobs is usually checkered but for more consistent play blue and yellow

[ancient gyro]

blue

[opal pine]

it's perishable🥹

[ancient gyro]

he's back

[pale wolf]

i losted

5streak

[ancient gyro]

💔

new record

[faint linden]

Never made it past Ante 6 on Purple

[pale wolf]

but i can do 4 regularly now for sure

[opal pine]

who?

[potent tree]

wait this might be the run

cert and mime ante 1

[pale wolf]

broke

[faint linden]

I know what Mime is but what's Cert?

[potent tree]

ificate

[pale wolf]

repost balatrodle in 2 spoilers

[potent tree]

what do i take from a spectral pack chat? wraith giving trio or ouija generating 10's

you probably want context huh

[faint linden]

I thought those were random

[potent tree]

nah you can savescum

and the same things will happen

[opal pine]

is this a scam?

[pale wolf]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[signal kernel]

Scam alarm

[smoky merlin]

I won

[pale wolf]

🤙

[magic heart]

Shut the fuck up gang🙏

[pale wolf]

like calling forth lightning

[signal kernel]

That is a Random named “announcements”

It’s gone

[pale wolf]

oh wraith is free yeah

[smoky merlin]

announcement: balatro is good

[pale wolf]

at minimum it's a plus $3

[smoky merlin]

thank you

[pale wolf]

then why do i lose so much

[smoky merlin]

such is life

[proven canopy]

I love certificate hologram

[smoky merlin]

oui oui

[lament smelt]

oui oui indeed

[pale wolf]

[lapis leaf]

That's one way to get Even Steven into the gold stake hall of fame

This was a fun run

Riff-Raff creating lots of filler jokers to support Madness

[proven canopy]

Its gold stake anyway

You dont need to kill jokers if you have eternals

[lament smelt]

i got a soul aswell😭

[opal pine]

oops or green joker

[smoky merlin]

but I’m not a soldier

[lament smelt]

oh cania

i mean canio can be really good

ig

i just need a hanged man

[opal pine]

wait oops because otherwise castle won't scale as well

[brazen island]

tough with the castle, i might take oops and look for some other source of mult since castle is very reliable

[proven canopy]

Take oops and spam lucky cards

Or try and kill a banana

hanges man

praise the lord

[upbeat wing]

Guys I need advice to see if I can hit the max ante, I got this unseeded run on yellow deck thats unreal. I hit a polychrome jack early in run and then put a red seal on it, next turn I get dna duplicator and blueprint shortly after. I'm pretty new to game, I'm wondering if there is anything I can do differently? or am I just good to go. I don't want to run out of glass so I have about 50/50 split rn

[lament smelt]

x7 on canio

XDDDD

[brazen island]

no, it's yellow deck

[wintry ice]

you don't have a source of mult that carries well into lategame yet

[upbeat wing]

so you have to play on harder stake to get the max?

[potent tree]

the mouth once again humbles me

[brazen island]

no you want to do white stake, but you have to play on plasma deck to get to ante 39

[upbeat wing]

39

omg

wth

[brazen island]

there is no 'max ante', but the scoring breaks at ante 39 and you lose no matter what you play

[lament smelt]

[upbeat wing]

ah I see

[serene forge]

what is castle at

[brazen island]

yummy i love canio

[lament smelt]

500K on one hand😭

[lament smelt]

x7 canio supremacy

[proven canopy]

Light work with canio

[serene forge]

I hate Swishbonkler

[proven canopy]

Yorick is the better legendary tho

[lament smelt]

i mean ez win ig

[proven canopy]

I love yorick

[serene forge]

don't use bloodstone

[opal pine]

I already chose oops but it's now at 72 chips

[brazen island]

its only ante 2 so i think at that point i'd prefer a polychrome castle over grimbo regardless of what its at, grimbo is one of the worse scaling mult jokers and decent chips can be a lot harder to come by. do you disagree? would like to know your take since thats actually a tough choice for me

[upbeat wing]

I haven't unlocked plasma yet

[wintry ice]

i dislike yorick

[proven canopy]

Yorick hater

[brazen island]

don't worry about ante 39 even once you do. it takes an ABSURD amount of luck, restarting, and game knowledge to be able to get there

[proven canopy]

Yorick is the best

[wintry ice]

most xmult jokers chsnge how you play

yorick just gives you a free win

[proven canopy]

Exactly

[serene forge]

if castle was at an acceptable amount then i would say just ignore scaling castle and get green joker up (also wdym grimbo is one of the worse scalers)

[brazen island]

lowkey canio is my favorite legendary

[wintry ice]

it would be more interesting if the mwta encouraged larger hands more but

we're in a pair meta

[proven canopy]

I would like canio if i got a single hangman every time i got him

[upbeat wing]

would looking for another idol be better?

[serene forge]

yes and no

you should be using baron for deep endless runs

[proven canopy]

I never get any hangmen or immolate when i get canio

[serene forge]

roll more

[brazen island]

i mean in ante 2 theres not much you could've done. and among the scaling mult jokers, grimbo is the most restrictive. like i prefer bus, supernova, pants, red card, etc

there's other better ways to get your mult

[brazen island]

but getting reliable chips is harder imo

[serene forge]

id argue nova's more restrictive but anyways

I think gronkler is still the play

[opal delta]

I hate bloodstone

[brazen island]

yeah that one's definitely up to preference

[serene forge]

me too!!!!

[brazen island]

same

[kindred tiger]

Unseeded

[proven canopy]

Arrowhead is my favorite suit stone

[ancient gyro]

uh

[serene forge]

same

[ancient gyro]

no thx

[proven canopy]

Arrowhead is lwk fun

[upbeat wing]

yeah I guess baron is better but I didn't know what I was getting into lol

[acoustic kettle]

Rough gem

[serene forge]

bbc and full skip trust

[proven canopy]

Bloodstone is pain because i never get oops

[upbeat wing]

full polychrome deck

[proven canopy]

And i spend all my money rerolling for it only to lose on ante 7

[wintry ice]

well you can't exactly pick and choose

[serene forge]

bloodstone worst joker

[ancient gyro]

there's an unstickered ttm in the shop

[wintry ice]

so green is a consideration regardless

[brazen island]

bloodstone is the calcified placenta of Kali, it is the incarnation of evil

[brazen island]

it's a consideration, but would you rather take jimbo and ignore the castle or skip jimbo and scale the castle

[upbeat wing]

That's only with one glass.. numbers going crazy

[brazen island]

i think im doing castle in that situation

[opal pine]

why not?

[serene forge]

there's no good mult in their loadout yet

castle can wait

the way i see it

because oops is also useless at the moment

[brazen island]

scholar will cover mult in the short term, grimbo's not going to provide much immediate value

[proven canopy]

Onyx + arrow + smear + flush build

[brazen island]

onyx + arrow + chad + pair build

its fun, trust

[proven canopy]

• lucky cards 🤑

[serene forge]

its a scaling joker that's kind of the point

[latent egret]

ive just had a 4f+smeared strush build on orange stake

[proven canopy]

Green joker lwk makes me mad i hate it

[latent egret]

was decent fun

[brazen island]

right but if its not going to provide value in the short term and they already have something that can, i think it makes sense to hedge and wait for another source of mult in favor of scaling the castle

[serene forge]

if you had a red card you won't pass on a hologram just because they're somewhat contradictory

[opal pine]

if I take twof it will put a foil on the oops, do I take it or temperance?

[brazen island]

no ofc not, but castle and grimbo are more than just a little contradictory

[opal pine]

4f?

[ancient gyro]

prioritizing stickers

[brazen island]

well, i guess getting +2 mult per round on grimbo isn't THAT bad

you might be selling me on it actually

full discarding still to scale the castle but scaling the grimbo slightly anyway by playing 4 hands in case nothing better comes along

[proven canopy]

Its tricking you its actually still 1/200

[opal pine]

I savescummed and know it will put a foil on the oops

unless I sell oops

but it's a good source of money rn

[proven canopy]

You dont even need foil tho

[brazen island]

that's still around ~40 mult on the grimbo by ante 8 which is better than nothing, and you could stop scaling the castle earlier if you get blue seals or better chips to bump up the grimbo

[opal pine]

fair

[brazen island]

yeah okay yk what horney you sold me

[proven canopy]

I lwk hate foil

[brazen island]

hornet*

[proven canopy]

Every time i use an aura i get foil

[brazen island]

it's a 50% chance for foil so makes sense

[proven canopy]

50% chance for anything else too

[brazen island]

me after my thousandth wheel, never hitting the 1/1000 chance for negative

[opal pine]

do I take supernova over oops or abstract?

[hard silo]

foil is normally the best hit

[proven canopy]

I didnt even know you could get negative from wheel so thats new to me

[brazen island]

yeah 1/1000 chance tho so super rare

tell your friends

[opal pine]

probably abstract to scale stuff better, otherwise I'll just win instantly for abit

[proven canopy]

My friends are too poor for balatro

And they dont trust me that its good

Because im a little liar and told them to get peak and we played it once

[brazen island]

kris you have a pretty interesting run going lol

lot of hard choices

what hand are you playing and how many have you played

pretty dependent on that

[opal pine]

I'm pretty sure that's not a thing

[brazen island]

it is don't think too hard about it

[opal pine]

pair, 8

[brazen island]

i'd probably sell the oops

well

hmm

how's your castle

and do you have pair levels

[opal pine]

pair is level 3

castle's at +99 chips

[wintry ice]

how needed is abstract

[opal pine]

probably not

[brazen island]

yeah youre good to get rid of abstract

[opal pine]

rn

[brazen island]

i did the math

[wintry ice]

yea

and copy supernova with bs

[brazen island]

oh yeah forgot about bs lol

[opal pine]

well I'll copy business first and if I'm in trouble supernova

[brazen island]

unless you can copy the money yeah

[wintry ice]

yea

[brazen island]

you should score around 2k per pair without copying supernova

[sinful meteor]

Are we feeling baron or bloodstone rn

[brazen island]

we're feeling burnt joker

pair time baby

[sinful meteor]

Smiley face run

[opal pine]

3k it seems

[opal pine]

still burnt

[brazen island]

get 2 levels from burnt joker on pairs for chips, play face card pairs for mult, you're so golden

[sinful meteor]

hmmm should I stay with the baron

[opal pine]

bloodstone is crap without oops and baron isn't that good unless endless or good deck building

[sinful meteor]

Cat thinking gif

[brazen island]

no, it's useless

[wintry ice]

burnt is there

baron is better

[sinful meteor]

burnt more like

mid

(I’ve never used it)

[wintry ice]

in this scenario since you have a 5% chance of making use of it instead of 1%

[brazen island]

its so good, especially with blueprint. just spam pair or high card and you win

[sinful meteor]

I think I’ll sell the baron and get burnt

[hard silo]

baron being shit aside, burnt helps make your baron better

[sinful meteor]

Well I don’t need to sell baron I think

Maybe for econ crap

[wintry ice]

you take the joker that wants you to play small amounts of cards and deny an easy way to level up small hands?

[hard silo]

and is bp compatible

[brazen island]

sell it to stay above 5$ for interest

[hard silo]

yeah backwards logic here

[wintry ice]

baron logic

[hard silo]

he can get away with not selling this round

[distant vault]

Fucking hate obelisk

[opal pine]

is dna good in my build?

[wintry ice]

send the build

[brazen island]

yeah but i just want to spread my baron hatred rhetoric

sell it sell it sell it

[distant vault]

🤮

[brazen island]

do u have blue seals

[opal pine]

no, not yet

my cards

[brazen island]

yeah copy the gold seal

get oops out of there

[wintry ice]

eh idk

[potent tree]

i'm happy this is gold stake abandoned deck. i am not gonna do another c+ and suffer through this again (once i finish here)

[wintry ice]

dna somewhat conflicts with castle

[brazen island]

worth it for the gold seals imo, they're foil too so that helps mitigate any damage to the castle

• if they get a blue seal to copy that'll also help

[opal pine]

do I copy the mult or gold card?

or nothing

[hard silo]

read the boss blind

[opal pine]

oh yeah

I'm stupid

I really need to read the boss blind more often

[manic zealot]

I forget that this can genuinely occur

[atomic trout]

Noooo

Wait. I reached Ante 12, Gold Deck

[opal pine]

I accidently still used a high card

[hard silo]

how the fuck

[opal pine]

thought a queen was a king

I know

I'm stupid

[distant vault]

You saved the run

Nevermind

[hard silo]

🐌

[opal pine]

I obviously lost

this is qenuinly so funny to me

[wintry ice]

i rerolled past dna and i have a blue steel king

fuck

[hard silo]

rip

nanlets usually don’t make this mistake

lol

[onyx mesa]

Take soul or GAMBLE FOR POLYCHROME WITH WHEEL OF FORTUNE

[wintry ice]

how many hermits am i getting

the cert paid off extremely hard

well then

[distant vault]

Bro said nanlet

[wintry ice]

i'm on a roll holy shit

[opal pine]

what's a nanlet

[wintry ice]

someone who values naneinf too much when judging jokers

turned into a catch all term for people who like endless for some reason

well

[opal pine]

do I take this sly joker?

[distant vault]

Hell yea

[wintry ice]

if you have to

actually

better safe than sorry

[opal pine]

oh btw there's also a gros michel in the shop

[wintry ice]

what is dna copying

[opal pine]

a 6 for sixth sense, or the blue seal

[hard silo]

blue seal is more consistent value

[wintry ice]

i think you could just sell 6th sense and get both

but idk

[opal pine]

well yeah if I find it then I do copy that, but if I don't but I did find a 6 then I'll just copy that

[opal pine]

that's..., idk

[hard silo]

i’ll sell 6th and get both

[wintry ice]

depends on how desperate you are for chips and xmult

[opal pine]

6th could potentially give me some really good stuff, and it's not as if I'm struggling a shit ton right now

[hard silo]

we’re just the passengers

you’re the one driving

[full glade]

What should i do?

[hard silo]

nothing

brokie

[opal pine]

sell baron and get the sock and buskin, unless you're planning ond doing endless

oh wait

pareidolia

hmmmm

[hard silo]

still nothing

[opal pine]

why not?

[hard silo]

he’s two boss blinds away from a fatal accident

[distant vault]

What the fuck

[manic zealot]

yep

[hard silo]

and also poor as shit

[full glade]

R u sure because it seems good but i kind of want to play baron aswell

[distant vault]

I love balatro

[manic zealot]

me 2 bro

[opal pine]

wdym?

[hard silo]

u can’t be fr

[wintry ice]

honestly this loadout is just

extremely volatile

[hard silo]

[manic zealot]

if he runs into the plant at any point he's cooked

[distant vault]

Mfers too scared of plant

Take the risk bro

Fuck it

[opal pine]

oh yeah I just realised

[wintry ice]

you should sell pareidolia at some point

[opal pine]

depends on if they have director's cut

[hard silo]

are ppl really this bad at giving advice

to have this happen

[distant vault]

9.7k pairs

[karmic jetty]

Another 3 gold stickers down: Hack, Wrathful and Banner

132/150

[manic zealot]

how many left

oh ok

the last handful are very annoying because you have to find them

[distant vault]

Yup

[manic zealot]

it took me like 2 weeks to get the last 2 or 3

[karmic jetty]

Yeah, the ones I’m dreading are Vagabond, Baron, and Mr Bones

[opal pine]

I mean, sure if they get up against the plant without director's cut then yeah, they're fucked, but they're fucked regardless of whether they sell baron and get sock and buskin, so, might as well prerpare for the chance that they don't see the plant

[karmic jetty]

Already got all the other perishable ones

[manic zealot]

LMAO mr bones was I think the last one I got

some of the other final ones were rough gem and seltzer

[karmic jetty]

Haven’t seen him after ante 3 in a while lol

I have rough gem left too

[hard silo]

that’s not how the game works, the point of econ is to play around boss blinds

how do you know if that person has the voucher, or even has the funds to reroll, and not get worse boss blinds

[karmic jetty]

Got seltzer a couple weeks ago on a very difficult run lol

[manic zealot]

I adore that the game allows you to get a gold sticker if a joker perishes and becomes debuffed

[karmic jetty]

Had to cheese that one so it didn’t die last hand

[manic zealot]

saved me decent time

lmao

[distant vault]

Fuck econ

[hard silo]

fuck you

:3

[distant vault]

Fuck you more

[distant vault]

10 seconds before disaster

[manic zealot]

any of your jokers would be a good hit if you sell your pareidolia for it

[hard silo]

thank you for cropping all the information out of the picture

[languid kite]

Question.

[full glade]

Ok thx

[manic zealot]

but idk is it actually helping with the extra chips from the foil?

[full glade]

Sorry

[languid kite]

I teleported Bread.

[distant vault]

Who's riding the party bus

[full glade]

What are the chances of thatr

[manic zealot]

you ig

[distant vault]

[manic zealot]

not terribly low, it is just an uncommon after all

[hard silo]

u got a number

[distant vault]

Is it the same

[sinful plaza]

this is my first triboulet

[full glade]

Should i alt f4 and sell smiley face

[manic zealot]

just don't fumble now

[opal pine]

I don't know if they have the voucher, and that's not the point of the advice I gave at first either, besides, do nothing is probably worse advice than advice that could save them later down the line as long as they get lucky and don't face the plant, and as for the econ, if they sell baron and buy the sock and buskin, they will still have more than 15 dollars left, which atm is their best interest amount /not mad

[distant vault]

Fucking perishables

[manic zealot]

no live with your choices

[distant vault]

Why

Why

[manic zealot]

also that's not a horrible hit from invis so it'll still be helping you

[naive cove]

I keep getting RNG fucked by shops and never finding my staples. I'm just playing basic pair build since it's supposed to be old reliable.

[distant vault]

Pretty

[opal pine]

I once had a negative ramen, it looked really good

[distant vault]

Rental will kill me probably

[distant vault]

It looks alien

Took the ice cream

[sinful plaza]

[fiery nymph]

i wouldve taken the brainstorm solely because of the foil

[distant vault]

Yes the joker itself is good but its rental

[fiery nymph]

but i feel like a bs with foil makes up for that

[hard silo]

not the best advice to give when you rely on assumptions and high rolling a blind to just have luck to blame for a game that has little applications of luck to win each run

[distant vault]

I have nothing great to copy.

Ice cream is chips too

No rental

BS just seems way worse

It will put me in a hole I can't get out of

Stabalized

[crystal field]

painted deck w

[upbeat wing]

Um this run is getting crazy

[opal pine]

alright, so better advice would have been that face builds are not reliable since you might face the plant, not that that helps them in this one specific run, so it wouldn't've been the best advice either, but anyway they've already long moved on so let's also move on.

[wintry ice]

do i sell bean for chad

i'm guessing the answer is yes but i wanna make sure

[hard silo]

um

[crystal field]

in general its best not to play around a specific rank unless you have extensive support for it which isnt often

generic scoring is always better

[hard silo]

i mean sure, there’s not really a wrong answer unless you are prioritizing x mult more than chips

[wintry ice]

they do in the context of this discussion

[wintry ice]

i have campfire for xmult and director's so i'm not too worried about scoring

[hard silo]

better advice would be to never focus on a singular build

[hard silo]

ight

[crystal field]

yeah

[crystal field]

this

well unless its pairs

[ancient gyro]

generally

[wintry ice]

pairs are just the hand that inserts itself into the most builds

[crystal field]

what happened to your account lol

[wintry ice]

i think i can ignore my mercuries and just secure the win now

[ancient gyro]

reduced to molecules

[wintry ice]

but at the same time it's unnecessary

[crystal field]

yikes

i wont ask how

[tranquil steppe]

Yes

[crystal field]

seems reasonable

[wintry ice]

i'll just do it

i think i have the resources for 3oaks

but having a free slot to charge campfire is also good

[crystal field]

either way its probably fine

Damn blueprint text is false

False advertisement

[crystal field]

well

[opal pine]

could you tell me what it is?

[crystal field]

maybe its like

dagger eating isnt an ability its just the effect and the ability is scoring (?)

[wintry ice]

bruh

[crystal field]

does blueprint ever destroy anything

[wintry ice]

is this a high enough 4oak level for me to ditch wee
