crimson heart sucks
the unspoken tech
always take ante 1 eternal rental cert 👍
certification so yummy
cause doc said so 😐
are we deadass
oh boy
i guess to do might be worth it?
No more obelisk, please game
are u doing decks in order
ehh not as a eternal. for me. a rental to do is like very free if its pair/high card
cause u can just sell before the end of the round
i'm just messing around
RIP The Pillar took me out...
well yes
i'll just take the mercury in the shop and leave
i was just curious
does the retriggered cards get retriggered by this retrigger
joker do what joker say
ez
dont be dissing scary face
Halfsies is so good
half plus scary face is lots of chips and mult. 60 with a face card pair and 90 with three of a kind. Very reliable joker imo
i did take scary
chips are always valuable
specially when i found a chad the round after
Lucky.
easyness
I should really get to doing more gold stake runs. Chat I've done ghost, yellow, and painted. What deck should I gold sticker now
blu
💙
Ooh yeah. blue deck is so fun, thank you
how many decks are there again?
Blue
blue deck so comfortable
i forgot
I've done them all in gold except black and jesus christ black deck is awful.
15
Fr. plus its just much better than + 1 discard imo
blue deck is pretty easy
I'd just use a random number generator
Never played blue
i mean it’s situational but usually yea
unfortunately-1 discard is very troubling so red deck counteracts that nicely
hm
+1 hand is +1 discard
my gold seal is a jack
because you can use ur hands as discards. it generally is significantly better imo. only time it aint is with rebate or other on discard effects
BUSSSSS
theres plenty and theyre all quite good for the most part
trading card and burnt joker along w rebate makes extra discard massive
but even then. you can still get value from them on blue deck quite easily due to more hands. so its easier to get plus mult scaling done as well. and space joker is generally better with more hands and I love space joker even if he isnt the greatest
more fun then burnt thats for sure
Yeah. I will still take it. its just space joker is more fun cause GAMBLING
Ride the face all day
not sure about vampire without chad
definitely if you have seed money
if no seed money id boot ttm
Balatro u ok?
id open packs first or grab seed and go next
Man I hate painted deck
why
somehow these are all new stickers
Anj rocks
truking it
Wym truking
hm
i think i have too little space to utilise dagger
i'd have to sell rebate to utilise it
so idk if it would be worth it
might just sell ramen for carto instead
depends on levels
Mr. Balatro should fire whoever made black deck.
but yea prob just the cartomancer i guess
nightmare blunt rotation
foil is also tempting me
though foil family might also be good yea
and my econ is shit for constellation rn
hm
i like foil family here
well you are already incentivised to build towards 4oak
Yeah a little bit too late yorick
that is true
and it still supports you before you can enable it
right now what I desperately want is value gen
so it's a safe pick
Bro if only i had stone joker
high score
ill prob take fam then
on the one hand blue seal on the other hand
okay pair or 3oak might be better
46 is insane
jimbo giveth
what should I do?
i'd take temp if you can draw it consistently already
🪨 🪨 🪨 🪨
stone
hmm
If only I had stone joker on that run
definitely goated as hell run, damn
which one
least insane yellow deck start
ante 2 round 2? yeesh
Rock 🏴
wraith gives something to copy with blueprint
worst case you get a refund
I got ancient joker
HUGE W
what a start lmao
You can most likely already say you won then, if you play correctly
another high score
bro im bro broke
what the heck
You'll be fine
Ghost Deck is either the best or the worst deck in the game depending on if you can actually get a good starting joker
In my case it always ends up in me needing like 2k more to defeat the final boss
invested
Unsuspecting The Pillar walmart customer: Where are the cards that have been used this ante?
Conspicuously-double-rare-tag-shaped-throat walmart employee: We're out of those
I always do double skip when its an ante 1 pillar
better to just get a page 1 joker
Shame on the pillar
🐔
GG'S
Can't wait till I finally have a double (perhaps triple) eternal (polychrome) madness run
he eats all your jokers
castle aj is dubious
eternals are immune
ohh
tbh...........
I haven't gotten chicot tf does it do?
I think it makes boss blinds easy
yup!
Doesn't it like end u up with 100's of planet cards
that would be perkeo
Oh
nobody knows what chicot does
it's like matador, you just gotta see what happens with the boss blinds
nice run
I haven't got chicot before
chicot does a different thing every ante
It makes you depressed
did it reverse the blinds
with The Wall, it cut down the score requirement by half, then the second one cut it by half again
negative house edge
with the needle, it gave me +3 hands back
🤑
if you have 2 chicots, you'd get +6 hands
Every players own boss blind is happiness, getting chicot disables that
3
chicot doesn't disable boss blinds, it more like... "reverses" them
and you'd get even more hands if you had handy voucher/were on blue
Great so instead of being neutral I become depressed
the hand size that it gives you on manacle is permanent for the run
you'd get like 15 hands
do I indulge
no doesn't work like that
if you're doing flushes no
also what are these weird names lol
I don't need it but thanks
alr
😱😱
if you had the fuckin smeared joker I would say yes
Thanks discord for sending a message I thought I sent earlier, like 5 minutes late
latest gold stake win
by ante 8. the red card was at 48
final high score. I've never ran a build this far before. I held a luchadore in case of plant but died before then. Should have kept my showman for longer
lost this run because i took a failed risk
i sold the trio when i got an invisible hoping it would copy the at the time 4.5x hologram
it copied the bootstraps
Just got this game two days ago, and have roughly 10ish hours on it now? I feel like I have a massive fundamental misunderstanding though because I havent beat red deck on white stake yet. Is that typical?
Like how long did it take for yall?
sheesh
There's a single weird thing in this screenshot, will you find it ?
calculate score button (all spectrals in arcana pack)
Nope, this is just a mod
This is the first time it happened to me, felt like "wait it was a spectral pack ???"
omen globe
shouldnt the background be gray since you're in endless
Ok I must admit I never even realized when and how the bg color changes lmao
2 different kings
so its NOT the background
got it
This is to make easier to sort and know at all time the proportion of steel/gold, highly recommend
i dont think you're getting purple value
hanged man in question
Nope, hanged man is to reduce amount of gold
chud
i think raised fist is good enough for my main +mult
yeah
just got this fella out of a judgement
what rank
probably jacks
egg
That’s the best
have you tried watching any videos? https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdNGt-ihEAcEx0WnRNCrRH6Ur7jPHYWeZ&si=zYqjmmM9mlbgZHWd
bruh
game really wants me to play two pair
pherishablechad
play QPMX7111 and skip the first blind trust me
doomed yaoi
Purple value AGAIN @unborn cliff
haxxor
all balatroads lead to balatrome
absolute jimbo
hell yeah
gg
possibly my greatest mobile run and i did it while watching planes trains and automobiles
Fun fact: invisible joker is programmed to copy whatever your worst joker is every single time
this is true
factual statement
help, please.
Whats the joker that you need to win in 12 or less rounds to unlock it? its my last unlock and im going crazy
I didn't know if you beat a gold stake, you automatically unlocks all previous stakes
Throwback ?
ive been trying for DAYS
Might be stupid tho
Are you on plasma deck
nah i have throwback
andy
yes
Merry andy
play the first or second ante and then start skipping
will try
+3 mult
Just buy Throwback lmao
the only joker thats driving me into madness
Plasma white stake is pretty much free
I got perkeo
i didnt see that mf once
since i started trying to unlock it
Sounds like a skill issue tbh
prolly tbf
maybe selling something for andy would be good too
Faceless
I die
Banana
Do you need the chad
no
Yes
it's not really doing anything actually
Chad is the one to kill
Well easy sell
i love oops all sixes.
yummy
I hate Bloodstone
holy run
Bloodstone forgives your sins
you dont.
yea i do
thinking of selling banana for andy now
with oops🙂↕️
“But why”
money
Vic already committed to do the egg + swash
well faceless doesn't get much more consistent with it so
You want to spend $7 on a perishable meh joker?
Faceless can go tho
it pays for itself
Andy is better
i sold chad
🪦
only things i have to retrigger is 2 lucky cards and a poly chrome
Andy is not better
Do u have a blue seal
i have 2 purples
Idk if I would’ve sold chad then
I'd wait for cav
Vic on that speed run to the grave
Hey guys im a bit new, how long is it supposed to take to beat red deck on white stake?
sad
Its taking me forever I can rarely get past ante 7
It can take a while to win the first time, yeah
it depens, you have to understand the basics of the game
It depends. For a newbie it's like 2 or 3 day
as in how many runs? i took around 7 runs to do if for the first time
go to wiki and read up on some joker synergies. Helped me first time.
Oh Jill lmao I wish
for that i would recommend the yt Drspectred
the game isn't exactly easy to learn
Hes crazy at balatro
Im like 5ish maybe 10ish hours in and still havent beat it.
Noted, thanks
thats absolutely normal
Lol
it can get frustating because he spends 45 minutes in the first 3 rounds
The house always wins
Lmao this is incredible
but you will understand everything, i always recommend him to new players
It’ll take a while and then everything will start clicking and you’ll be beating gold before you know it
lack of chips
Crisps
Is there a server y'all know of thats maybe a little more beginner friendly? Been trying to read yalls chats and its a foreign language to me, lol. I'll definitely watch his videos though thanks for the recc
server chat channel
You can PM me
getting advice from a nanlet is surely going to end well
you can DM me if needed, im not the best at explaining but with my help and cruiser we could get ya to understand the game and win somewhat constantly
it's hard to give general advice without context
I'll watch some of those Drspecterd vids and if I'm still having trouble I'll probably take yall up on that
yea
Appreciate it
feel free to share your runs here as well, some of us could help make ur decisions easier
the basics are:
value economy
don't underestimate chips
value scaling jokers
It’s better to learn on your own tbh. People here give all sorts of whack “advice”
dw abt it, let me see the begginers videos he has, most of them are for gold stake (hardest difficulty)
it's a game where everyone has their own opinion on jokers
yeah like how some people say bloodstone is good
people being divided is nothing new
- Understanding the game mechanics
- Unlocking and remembering the jokers' combo and mechanics
- Luck
That's how i learn to play balatro
lol at luck
i feel like watching good players helps you learn a lot easier
luck is a factor that can be dealt with
how to win:
get a blue seal
just don't fall into the trap of jokers like idol, baron, etc
r we allowed to drop youtube links here?
those jokers don't do much in real runs
No, it's a matter of luck that i stumbled upon an interesting balatro video
making good decisions is very important for all balatro runs and drspectred is good at teaching u what kind of choices he makes
Without it, maybe i won't even like balatro that much
doc is great at consistent gameplay
which is the most important thing to learn for this game
I wouldn't really rely on roffle deep endless runs, most of the runs he posts are unrealistic
The closest I've gotten to winning ante 8 was building a deck that was centered around diamond flushes, had like 75% of deck converted to diamonds and some regular cards upgraded and was already super strong early on, then the ante 6 or 7 boss was the "All diamonds are debuffed" lmao
idk if im allowed to drop youtube links here so look at ur dms ill just drop it there
Thanks
you win some you lose some
I only watch roffle for his dad jokes
what kinda setup you had
on-scoring builds have a lot of vulnerabilities that pair runs that mainly rely on unconditional jokers don't have to deal with
i imagine just something like greedy joker
diamonds don't have many good scoring jokers associated with them
normally if you do a flush run you just need like a fuck ton of flush levels and bunch of xmults
neither of the light suits do
bloodstone is bloodstone
their scaling is also like marginally better than pairs in the context of gold stake
Yeah, remembering joker synergies with decks, tarots, spectrals, ect. Can help with your decision making
most runs already revolve on high +mult
so the extra mult's difference ends up not mattering much
Appreciate all the advice guys
I do think that deck shaping and understanding tarot usage is more important than learning to remember all the jokers
good luck
Simply pair
it gets to the point where flushes are a noob trap
both are equally important
Real
flushes are great for getting through ante 1 and 2 but unless you pull an ancient joker or a photochad I wouldn't stick with it past ante 1-2
jokers will be your main scoring the majority of the time
deck shaping and joker choices both supplement each other so neither is more important than the other
the reason why flushes suck is because of the terrible chips scaling on its planet card btw
also that they are a 5 card hand
chip scaling for its size
hell yeah
Good
gottab love a madness first shop
yeah it's always fun when that happens
heterosexual time ig
nvm it's another pair run
okay i guess it really is a pair run
I hate Bloodstone
WTF
Lmao

Bloodstone forgives your sins
bruh look at my game
1/2 of the time
Only if you’re a noob
I'm missing a castle in gold stake
But I never manage to get any benefit from it.
What are u even playing
When I got it with 270 chips I lost
casual plasma
I mean why the mime and sock
Because I got crimson
That’s rough. Also impressive
did you not have a single source of +mult
sock for chips lol
Or however you say that final blind spot in English
Don't you have Mimo in gold?
How much does balatro cost on yall country?
is this a joke i'm not getting
I am carried by mime
There are no jokes here
okay

Nice!
You got this
What's the best way for you guys to get gold stickers when you're only a few jokers short?
this is good
Fucking love madness runs
Yeah
ty plant ily
They're really fun, actually.
Yup
id focus on rare jokers probably
they are not fun if you dont get eternal +mult
i'd focus on straight, 3oak or 4oak if that doesn't happen
awesome
kami is gonna love this
i mean you almos always gtta go for those early in the run
but a good +mult makes it really fun
i cannot stall in the slightest
too good
this is such a guarranteed win
too much aura
you HAVE to win that
also this is a high card build
the chances of not are slim to none
because my telescope is on it
yeah
i love scaling chips
theres no boss that can mess up that run
why castle
Fun fact: Oops! All 6's is always in the shop when you don't need it, and is never in the shop when you do
over squonker?
castle is SO underrated
grim are you deadass
more fun
gotta love him tho
at times. Ill say i used to undervalue castle alot until very recently
but all the scaling chips jokers are fun and good
i think
rip
wish my madness runs were nearly as good, i got 2 souls on an run with eternal madness lol
ive only had 1 good madness run lol
this is painful sometimes
Use madness to kill chicot
legendaries can be annoying to work with sometimes tho its not a big deal if you gotta convert it to $10
what is the worst legendary for yall and why canio
high score runs can be jank
Chicot
balatrodle in 6 (im tired so i was throwing)
my computed struggles to naneing
i forgot to disable debug mod
chicot is so fun tho
i mean
Exactly
fair point
its not a bad joker tho
2 chicots are more fun that 2 canios tho
Its not bad it deserves to be legendary
the legend
But id rather have yorick canio or perkeo
id rather have chicot over canio
triboulet?
the best legendary
fair
I remembered why i hate bloodstone 😭
not quite tho
chudstone
id rather have a trib than the others
Uglytrashstone
My favorite is yorick. I think he's the best for gs
Purple is back at it @unborn cliff
Never gonna find burglar tho, as per usual
I like supernova
the party ended an hour ago and he's still here
I'm showing this again because why not
(balatrodle) very efficient guesses
we can see that lol
gotta get used to it
Random ass Mobile run that suddenly became my new highscore
Sly joker sneaking in
what's so interesting about losing a carp sharp run to eye/needle with zero counterplay
I wish I saw flashcard more...
bruh
Perkio is the most fun, Yorick is the easiest to scale, Canio is a tease if you can't find something to blow up your face cards, Trib is the best with deck fixing, Chicot is for the real G's
if you can’t figure out a solution to this situation without chicot then whats the point
atleast i don't lose my whole bank account
Yeah, I really like doing naneinf runs but at some point it become so long and boring ugh
literally me
your device struggling to survive is so real lol
balatrodle in 6
is finding director's cut somehow a more interesting solution to you
not spoilered rip
girl
Man I got the Balatrodle in 2 why do y'all suck?
||what were you guessing astro for||
Director cut don't take up a joker slot 
?????
how am I supposed to ensure this happens
balatrodle in 7
||its fine i guessed brainstorm after finding out the answer is 8 dollars||
balatrodle in 9!!! lol!!!
Just do trib and if is correct on xmult do any of "The ..." jokers and ez balatrodle
eugh
handy mod runs without steamodded and has animation skip so naneinf doesn't take 199262 years
literally what does that have to do at all with the topic at hand
It started doing that when I got my third Idol 
hello?? You cant ensure the directors cut voucher. same for chicot
that many idols is crazy tho lol
I have it installed, might be a good idea to actually check settings 💀
yeah so what do you do in that situation then
just pull other xmult out of your ass instead?
the most efficient starts are the scaling 7$ xmult uncommons
find some other way to survive
done it before
Yeah I was trying to get more blueprints but instead, showman gave me 2 fuckin idols and then my first invis gave me my fourth
Maybe, i try with a random leg almost all the time
honest take
alright who's kicking the bucket here
So since there's no difference when getting 4 blueprints, I just yolo'd with it
yorick is as boring as chicot
thats crasy to get when you have an idol prepared deck
eg
wut why
arrowhead
|| my method is chaos -> blueprint and that narrows it down pretty much perfectly ||
arrowhead
It doesn't do much, it just sits there and make you win
oh
ability
actually i'll go see what a heart flush looks like
idk
This was a Bloodstone deck.
It just became an Idol deck
holy shit i love roffle now
75k not good 👎
||i don't think there are any rares in the economy category||
I got balatrodle in 1 once
i always go hearts for bloodstone, idc if people hate it, its the best suit joker
vagabond is my favorite Econ joker
Screenshot when I still have Oopstone
oop
vagabond is considered creation by balatrodle
Then I saw idol, I decided to turn everything into King of Hearts
I know
bloodstone oops?
Ye
RIP
i love those runs
we need more balatro portmanteaus
yeahhh
halloopsination
we are jolly good
i love oops
Hex or hank for green joker +6. I have eternal ancient joker rn and at ante 2
Ankh it
ank ank ank
Thx chat
We love ankh
i am going to commit to finishing abandoned deck gold stake right now
nothing can stop me.
In purple stake rn for yellow deck. Been getting crazy runs today
the plant:
double grimbo so peak
Ñ
ñ
ń
some balatwo before i grind
Do you know how I can set option to wait a sec to move mime before animation end ?
almost
just be fast
Abandoned Deck
Obelisk my enemy
i feel like every joker is useful
I hate you
you get faster with joker movements over time
i just haven't found the really good use case for some of them
joke
HOW is 8 ball useful
vagabond but bad
it's useful in that it gives you tarot cards
it does?
I don't like how unreliable 8 ball is
only if you score 8s
ive tried, but that mf wont give me a single one
not even with retriggers
the wheel is more reliable
Why its called oops all six! If it only gives a x2 on chances
8 ball 1 in 4: 0 in 999
glass card 1 in 4: 3 in 3.1
that might be too op
wheel of fortune will work but only gives u foil
gambler legendary that guarantees all probabilities
foil is underrated
It is, it instantly break glass tho
Poor glass
It's the second best edition
making everithing else a 10x betetr tho
Holo some dog shit
when are we gonna get evil oops all sixes that halves all listed probabilities
hooray new stickers
At e10 scoring, 1000 chips only will give u to e12 or e11
Obviously i'm putting negative aside
Huh
crazy
at e10 90% of the game is useless.
snake eyes 👀👀👀👀
what
ass
Fake
glass cards rejoice
the only useless thing is the +10mult effect
every +mult*
ur fault for taking poly skip
"God i love losing"
noooooooooooo
+5 mult from happy face when mult is on 100billions
smeared jonkelr in the overstock
actually i realized its a coupon lel
poly rough gem sounds great on painted
even if its a +200 from a shwash
useless
anyway
gem is yummy
I remember when i decided to take 5 eternals and just one ante later got 2 legendary jokers
I hate Swashbuckler
are you mad mansley
I like gambling
Since i didnt got jokers space left i just saw them go

oh my god im gonna kill you
Mr bones good
bull is quite good
Bull sinergyyy
i mean at e10 a lot of xmukt jokers are trash
synergy
Damn I wanted the ridiculous hand size
ive used it once lol
With da +1 monei
Rare W of today 🔥
i know brah
I almost never get it on my shop
Aswell as the luchador
so true

grabber feel sooooo good
grabber on black deck its a bless
Grabber doesnt give +1 hand?
it does
the really bad thing abt black deck is that it takes a hand
Anaglyphi, ghost, yellow and plasma
Doesnt take 1 hand size?
nope
Oh
🐿️
Game doesn't want me to stop playing x)
jesus
exactly enough antes left to activate it too
precarious jokers
I see one way you can fit in some more xmult
your +mult is happening during card scoring, so steel cards would go great here
or glass I guess
easiest black deck run of my life rn
literally just dicked around with throwback and won somehow
whatever two new stickers anyway
Why is throwback sad
LMAO WHY ARE THEY FROWNING
Throwback had the best smile
resource pack i made
convenient cropping
for my own amusement
It is amazing
thank you
oh my god i ❤️ campfire
not pictured the actual mvp was gift card
realizing now i prob would have been better off selling banana for rental space
oh well
Flush haters in shambles
I had to redownload balatro due to a bug and my gold stake progress got wiped
damn....
that sucks
now that means I get to replay more runs
atleast now you will be able to get ur progress back faster
Congrats
could be fun but that means I have to complete black deck gold stake again
Damn
just did that its a chore for sure
-1 hand and -discard. oof
black deck should just take away the consumable slots or something
Like nebula?
Hand size
that would be
-1 handsize would match with painted deck
not fun
Yea
-1 hand is good tho
its a good challenge
stuntman is -2 handsize
nah i mean
Yes Im aware
the original black deck rules are good
Feels too rng
fucking hate black deck my god
That's not a challenge then
Black Deck is supposed to be challenging
It's funny how little the extra joker slot does
definitely the shops can be brutal
I'm boutta do Black Deck Gold Stake just to get it out of the way
Yeah
If i don't have a good joker ante 1 I feel fucked
man dont piss me off rn
Not really
That's on you for getting angry, Chad by itself is good
it's calling you
im just being silly or facetious sorry
I'm aware, I'm saying you shouldn't feel that way because Ante 1 isn't over
facetious retriggered 2 times
???
Treat it as the money round
Even if you don't get any good joker, you can still get one next ante
who are you ??? to tho
The dingus' comment
I meant having no jokers in ante 1 doesn't mean it's over
MAN MY FUCKING ABANDONED DECK 8 BALL RUN GOT WIPED
Balala
DAMN IT
the only time 8 ball did anything in the history of this game
Well that's just Black Deck being black deck
Everything else in that deck feels 100 times worse
lol 8 ball is fool’s gold
chat green joker or kill myself
crafty all day
Finally bloodstone did sum
Bro...
Banger hand
1 for green one for kraft Mac n cheese
Color
this is strange
Green joker on red deck, thats antisynergy, hold R
FUCK YOU GROS MICHEL
Bro restarts if he doesnt win small blind in one hand
Who wouldnt
I always win in one hand, i play a good deck
No blueprint in buffoon pack, hold R
I love green deck too
actual scam oh my god
:(((((
I poly skip on ghost
my banana :((((
I wish I got burglar and green joker more often
Hacker Manz is cooking
hrmmmm .....
Wily Joker or Erosion? I'm playing flush fives
RIP
permanent student loan debt... or rock it.....
I love rocket
or pack....m
wily
Use Eris
What
I got observatory
Erosion
I'm fine with additions
that 1.5x² aint doing much but aight
kill wily get erosion
Big Think
Kill rental
Eat burger

100 chips vs 24 mult?

Erosion just because its not rental, honestly you probably dont need the erosion if you have enough eris levels
ima bean guys
Wha
Beefy Eris
Burger
You probably have too many jokers to make this work
ik 
Data kiss really is cookin
ook man
Mcdonalds
Labubu
When is the mcdonalds and balatro colab
If they do it now there will be stranger things in the game


bean failed
Eris
all blueprints to baron
Smoot Planet
One brainstorm to mime
Smooth
Ok boys
once again we had to rely on constellation...but blueprint showed up ante 8 to save our butts
I'll sell wily joker and get erosion
but abandoned deck will now remain abandoned.
Idk why people be like 1hr to beat a run
In 20 minutes i alr beated it or im in the 4th attempt
Dont be so fast

Gross michele
