[winged vault]

there's no point carrying on the run now

didn't get the other BP and I never got a red seal until ante 25

[vale wharf]

Joker idea: snake eyes
Reduces all probabilities by 90%

This is useful to preserve your glass cards and Cavendishes

[barren wigeon]

so it has 2 or 3 uses

and is terrible in every other scenario

an active detriment

[vale wharf]

It's AMAZING on fragile

[royal ore]

did you just fail the fragile challenge and come up with this joker idea

[buoyant ridge]

nothing + mult again..

[barren wigeon]

lmao

[barren wigeon]

zwei paare

[tight pike]

Fym cavendishes that thing aint dying

[vale wharf]

Nah haha
Only jokerless remains

[buoyant ridge]

game is just unbalanced on black deck

[winged vault]

Canvendish rarely dies though anyway

[barren wigeon]

you'd be surprised

[modern panther]

Jimbo... What the hell... streamer luck seed

[winged vault]

so, snake eyes only really has one use, which is glass

[vale wharf]

It also doesn't change the probabilities for wheel and space joker

[barren wigeon]

mmm

how many kings you got

[hidden lance]

nice

[paper echo]

jimbo blessed you dawg

[fringe crest]

average pair build

rare tag gives duo and supernova in same shop

ended the run by picking up stencil joker and blackboard

[buoyant ridge]

and dying again

[fringe crest]

you got this

[worthy owl]

optimal joker order?

[winged vault]

for what?

money?

[fringe crest]

depends on your cards

[winged vault]

score?

[worthy owl]

score

[fringe crest]

if you show me your deck i can tell you

[worthy owl]

i died nvm all my spades debuffed by the goad

fml

it was a bunch of 8 red seal steel spades and then i tried to get a ton of kings

[fringe crest]

interesting

[winged vault]

I got a run going for ante 39, but I didn't get all the pieces of the puzzle

I was missing one more Blueprint and the red seals came too late cause the game decided to make spectral packs not exist lol

[winged pelican]

I keep playing high cards and I can’t get 300 chips what am I doing wrong

[winged vault]

I can't tell if this is a joke or not

[tight pike]

Nah that ain't fair, all possibilities = all possibilities even the negatively affecting ones

[floral mural]

assuming this isnt a joke your first ante should be beaten with some form of big hand

[winged vault]

I was gonna say, what an oddly specific tarot and joker to exclude

[floral mural]

flushes ss default but straights and full houses if theyre close enough to be drawn

not a straight missing a middle tho

[winged pelican]

?

[tight pike]

Also that still means 8 ball and lucky cards are worse

[floral mural]

you want straights missing edges

[tight pike]

And bloodstone would be shit

[floral mural]

on ante 1

[winged pelican]

Yeah I’ve played an ace and a king but I’m only getting like 40 chips max

[fringe crest]

actually space joker has been proven to hit more than any other 1/4

[floral mural]

do you know standard poker hands?

[winged pelican]

what’s poker

[floral mural]

you can pick up to 5 cards to form hands

[fringe crest]

rip off balatro

[winged pelican]

what’s balatro

I’m betting on go fish brah

[fringe crest]

poker but better

[winged vault]

poker where big number go big

[fringe crest]

i love when my poker number go bug🤤

[winged vault]

well, I'm done with Balatro for the day. I failed to get the ante 39 run I wanted and it's just sadge

it was a seedless run as well

[low fog]

what do y'all think

[winged vault]

well, except for using brainstorm to get the perkeo from the skip

[winged vault]

it's... something

[low fog]

i can get to e15

way further too

but i gotta get my shit together

[winged vault]

it will last for sometime in endless

[winged vault]

the most this would realistically go is ante 15

if you're getting e15

maybe ante 16

[fringe crest]

thats still generally considered seeded in the community

[hearty tundra]

Ts the kinda run id get on plasma white stake

[buoyant ridge]

a good madness run on black deck

[low fog]

You were so close

[winged vault]

Ante 15 assumed you would get to e15

Sounds like you were a bit off from e15

[civic canopy]

Chat am I cooked

Do I spend one planet

[winged vault]

One planet won't contribute much to the scoring at this point

[civic canopy]

Observatory btw

That’s why I havnt

Anyway

[winged vault]

Try to order your jokers

[civic canopy]

It is ordered for flush five

High card is at level 49 though so I might do it instead for the last hand

[winged vault]

Use a balatro calculator to see what the best joker setup should be. But based on the score you got, it's unlikely you will past it

[civic canopy]

Yup

[winged vault]

I'm assuming you got observatory quite late

Since you only have a couple of negative planets

[fringe crest]

seeded?

[opal bay]

Bro😔

Why tribollet now

[jolly relic]

mmmmm shortbread

[fringe crest]

mmmm braindead run🤤

i love whenever i get one

what hand did you play?

[opal bay]

🥵

Flush five

🥺

[formal crater]

8th day hanukkah gift to me

[opal bay]

🥺

Its so beautiful

I want it

[thick mountain]

Fangamer!

[opal bay]

Thanks

[formal crater]

came with bonus art + sticker by artist Nina Matsumoto who made Celeste

[thick mountain]

I love celest so much. I used to print all of their merch and we were like ten minutes apart so I always go to go get cool stuff in the warehouse.

I have the nintendo switch celeste special edition hehe

[modern panther]

What do I sell for sock (Resending bc i accidentally sent only one screenshot)

[formal crater]

[languid heron]

Drunkard id say

[sand lily]

This is such a weird setup but I wonder if it will work

Three certificates at beginning of round then three stencils the rest of the time

[thick mountain]

I can't believe it either lol.

[iron sand]

it would be so cool if theres hwatu cards in balatro not sure what they would do tho

[formal crater]

my dad probably has some insane stuff. We founded and hosted the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo for the first 6 years

[thick mountain]

that is so cool

[formal crater]

then we moved

[thick mountain]

I almost had a shot at meeting toby I think but I moved there after the event sadge

[formal crater]

NOT TOBY

[barren wigeon]

hmm I wonder

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[formal crater]

YOU MISSED TOBY

[barren wigeon]

OK roffle

[modern panther]

Umm... what. What do

[barren wigeon]

hate to say it

bye ricky

[thick mountain]

rick for days

[thick mountain]

I got the pillow though

[fringe crest]

roffle stole it from hornet

[queen kindle]

dawg

[tight pike]

I knew it was gg at this point

[sand lily]

Just won with triple certificate and joker stencil :pog:

[tight pike]

Note I also got blueprint right after

FUCK WHY IT HAD TO BE YORRICK

[analog peak]

chat do i sell dna for showman

[tight pike]

Yes

[analog peak]

got it🫡

[tight pike]

You got enough kings

[analog peak]

true

im so thankful for that nat negative trading card

[tight pike]

A second blueprint or brainstorm would be even better

[analog peak]

5th nat negative this run btw

the bp was ecto but the vagabond and egg were natural, along with a now extinct popcorn and bean

[west perch]

if i'm dropping red deuces should i call a doctor?

also i totally sell a dusk for lucky cat right

[analog peak]

already found brainstorm, showman goes?

[west perch]

also i love how immediately after i go into lucky cat i see an oops all sixes

raw dogging with no dusk but that's okay we're still one shotting

[wanton breach]

What do i sell here, chat?

[vale wharf]

Joker idea
Name: projector
Rarity: rare
Ability: +1 hand each round, first hand of each round creates copies of all selected cards to hand and destroys played cards

[west perch]

GUYS. conundrum

[wanton breach]

Old blue seal ability, but better

[vale wharf]

Wait what
I'm unfamiliar with this

[west perch]

VERY nice idol opportunity. not completely mono-carded yet. but my lucky cat is already 10x. do i dump 6's?

[wanton breach]

Old blue seal ability is to return the cards that you have played

[west perch]

oops all 6's is the only thing not providing like direct scoring value

[naive cove]

Joker idea: Jambo
Effect: deletes black deck from your game and awards competitionist++ if you have gold on all the other decks

[west perch]

sounds racist

[naive cove]

I hate black deck so much

[vale wharf]

Unlock requirement: beat black deck on gold stake

[naive cove]

Giggity

[wanton breach]

You're making it sounds racist

Black deck have white on it

[naive cove]

Making black deck the worst in game is racist

[wanton breach]

Sounds like skill issue to me

[vale wharf]

Joker idea
Name: 67
Rarity: common
Ability +6 and x7 mult 🫲😎🫱

[fiery nymph]

im committing suicide and its your fault

[vale wharf]

Noooo I'm sorry

[prime valve]

The brain has rotted to the core. Its too late.

[steep iron]

thats the idol of all time

[west perch]

wooo. we idol maxed. now i just gotta replicate this polychrome lucky red seal and we're gucci

[flint vine]

Beat my first ever gold stake!!

[west perch]

ante 15. maxxed out at 1.443e15. not bad

i realized i went too aggressive with hanged man even after i had all 2's

its hard to get card bodies at the end cause you don't wanna risk an idol whiff

[zenith timber]

funny unseeded

[unborn cliff]

i like this run

(photo)^2(chad)^2

[zenith timber]

and red seal gold king

53mil 😭😭

[unborn cliff]

here win

[fiery nymph]

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 2

[unborn cliff]

what time does balatrodle even refresh

[serene forge]

idk

[unborn cliff]

oh my god bruh

[ancient gyro]

same time as bereals

[merry wren]

do i take dna instead of a brainstorm?

[manic talon]

its client based, so your own clock

[hybrid tendon]

yeah uh balatrodle in 10 today, not my day

[serene forge]

i think you hold r because this run looks cooked

[unborn cliff]

thank you showman very cool

[spring jungle]

is this worth taking 😭

[unborn cliff]

no

[spring jungle]

im so lost in my jokers rn bro

[serene forge]

take over photograph

[unborn cliff]

its purely less score than anything invis will give you

[spring jungle]

i just need a baron

[ivory reef]

Question, would paredolia have synergy with baron?

[unborn cliff]

no

[spring jungle]

should i sell anything before selling the inv joker??

[unborn cliff]

no

[spring jungle]

alr

[unborn cliff]

you pretty much die if you sell any jokers

[unborn cliff]

unless you have red seal steel already

[spring jungle]

helll yeh

[unborn cliff]

best hit ❤️

[spring jungle]

AINT NO WAY

got a baron

do i sell photograph? or chad??

[unborn cliff]

chad

[spring jungle]

alright

[coral drum]

Im playing straight flushes what do I sell for gang

I want the brainstorm but man

[zenith timber]

save scummed for wraith and it’s a DNA, worth $45 that i had?

[coral drum]

Idk if my mult survives without egg pirate

[zenith timber]

should i just reroll to spend $$

[unborn cliff]

hell no

[zenith timber]

ok but then golden ticket with red seal gold and DNA will make it back easy

low antes too

i mean can i reroll or just get it next round

[unborn cliff]

i suppose i suppose

[zenith timber]

how does the RNG work

like if i go next round does it switch

or will the wraith always be a DNA

[unborn cliff]

wraith will always be dna

its determined by the seed

that wraith always and will be that dna

iirc

[zenith timber]

ok ill spend the money then throughout next few rounds then use it

never mind i did it and got the money back in 1 round

broken seed

[tranquil steppe]

Seance

[unborn cliff]

pretty nice deck you got there

[coral drum]

Yeah i did, struggling to build into this, ik ill need to move out of egg and pirate for x mult soon

Fishing for a lucky cat or something idk

[tranquil steppe]

At least if you do that, egg can pay for lots of stuff

[coral drum]

Tru

[ivory reef]

Pretty easy ngl

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[unborn cliff]

roffle yesterday:

[serene forge]

absolutely fucking not

[unborn cliff]

snail

[fiery nymph]

bro...

this cant be serious

a rare joker is like 6-10$

and you got a random one for 45

[unborn cliff]

a very garbage one at that

[cloud sinew]

wrath is ante based

[unborn cliff]

wrath

[cloud sinew]

wraith shut uo

[unborn cliff]

anyways shows what i know about the game

[coral drum]

Rip beat the run but couldn't find the x mult i needed to get much further

[lunar zealot]

Ello ello

[lunar zealot]

shut uo

[spring jungle]

coulnt it be good to switch out photo for steel(2,4x)

[lunar zealot]

Not really at all

At best you replace phorograph

[serene forge]

neither are useful

[lunar zealot]

to get like a modicum more mult

[spring jungle]

yea

[lunar zealot]

Make money find mime

reroll for like faceless or rebate

[spring jungle]

need some red seel steel

[lunar zealot]

red seal gold first actually

then again ante 13

[lunar zealot]

far too late

[lunar zealot]

no

[spring jungle]

that dosnt apply to the baron right?

[lunar zealot]

Sock isn't mime

[twin lantern]

You want to move as far away from photo and replace it with something that helps your baron set up ASAP, I wouldn't be socking my busken rn

[spring jungle]

alright!

[twin lantern]

Like photo is less than 1% of your score as long as you have a fixed deck

[spring jungle]

i dont 🙁

[twin lantern]

F

No nane inf this time

[spring jungle]

not at all

[lunar zealot]

Next tike try focus making more money

[unborn cliff]

DUDE FUCK

[spring jungle]

this is one of the first runs i have got over endless 😭

[lunar zealot]

Like really really really focus

[unborn cliff]

I FORGOT I HAD 2 HANDS

his greed sickens me

[twin lantern]

You need genuinely thousands of dollars to do nan inf

Unless its seeded

[unborn cliff]

im so pissed bro i found a negative juggler and a troubador

that could have been another ecto

[twin lantern]

Why ecto

Oh

[serene forge]

smartest photochad user

[twin lantern]

Its not baron

[spring jungle]

im not that safe rn

[unborn cliff]

dude i had my game on x516 speed my brain was off

[serene forge]

photochad user with greatest attention span

[twin lantern]

Gotta find mime like yesterday lol I hate Nan inf

[spring jungle]

think im cooked

playing highcard

[twin lantern]

Depending on specific jokers to show up to do Nan inf is like idle playing cookie clicker instead of actively trying to stack buffs

Lame

[acoustic kettle]

5 card high card

[spring jungle]

not looking good

[twin lantern]

Rip

[spring jungle]

tf do i do here

[acoustic kettle]

Copy photo maybe

[twin lantern]

You die endless is designed to kill you

Try again? Idk ante 13 kinda pog

[spring jungle]

for me atleast

rip

[uncut matrix]

now would be a good time for antimatter :(

1 reroll later...

this game taunts me

[zenith timber]

is taking a second ecto bad here? have 75% red seal gold kings

[coral drum]

It does nothing for me but ride the bus is one of the prettiest negatives

[long oxide]

Do I take scholar

[supple veldt]

im a hacker uwu

[open briar]

So is this game abandoned by its devs

[modest spade]

Update is coming out in 2026

[formal shadow]

what are some fun builds you guys aim for

(unseeded)

[acoustic kettle]

Not really confirmed

It releases when it releases

[acoustic kettle]

Straights

[modest spade]

Oh yeah this is true

I forgot, sorry

[kindred jasper]

Ily painted deck

[acoustic kettle]

Thunk thunking his thunk so hard

[zenith timber]

worth taking second ecto? deck is like 75% red seal gold

[harsh estuary]

what do i do with this joker? should i change the fibonaci? im a beginner so i dont know that much

[acoustic kettle]

There's really no good hits for ecto

[long oxide]

Is it better to copy bloodstone than to have family?

[acoustic kettle]

Nah

Sell everything else

[zenith timber]

ok thanks

[acoustic kettle]

The blue bait

Do not fall for it

[coral drum]

Chat I got my first higher score build

[formal shadow]

i got my first 3.e whatever build when i was playing balatro the day i had finals ❤️

[coral drum]

Im thinking ab ecto because I took a speculative eternal Oops 🥀

The lucky cat never showed and I got a trib the next shop

[zenith timber]

is aura predetermined or by ante

[last bolt]

i can smell the gold stake

[formal shadow]

whats the strat to obelisk? i dont entirely understand

[coral drum]

Amazing things are happening

[lunar zealot]

Play pairs

Obelisk works so well because it perfectly segues into what you already want to be doing on gold stake

playing pairs

[formal shadow]

ohh ic makes sense

i sold it anyway i got photochad smiley face lol

[lunar zealot]

with obelisk specifically you want to specifically have a +chips joker already

like square or castle

[formal shadow]

surely i win with this right

gold stake..

wait no

[humble hound]

stupid fucking thing again

[formal shadow]

green

[lunar zealot]

+mult you should already have by that point

[trim notch]

Imaginengetting eternal guy that gives +mult depending sell value

And ankhing all the time

[signal frigate]

Green but ye, put your smiley face to the left of Photo

Slightly bigger score

[formal shadow]

yea i noticed after i almost lost :(

[signal frigate]

I adore your pfp as someone who's currently obsessed with CSM

[formal shadow]

lolol ty ive gotta get back into reading it since im done with work and finals

[signal frigate]

I'm fully caught up to it and

The movie was recently done

[formal shadow]

yea the movie was rlly good

[signal frigate]

Why the fuck are they teasing Season 2 almost IMMEDIATELY?

[humble hound]

i'd be less mad at that

[signal frigate]

It was probably the best anime movie of this year ngl

[formal shadow]

def

[signal frigate]

I'd say it was better than Demon Slayer

[humble hound]

my husband's ringtone is "in the pool" lmao

[formal shadow]

yea im def inbetween both but

im a bigger fan of csm i never got into demon slayer so im def biased

[formal shadow]

peak

[humble hound]

i've also replayed kick back an ungodly amount of times, but im recovering

[formal shadow]

spare trousers really isnt doing anything here i think id be safe to grab midas rigfht

its at like 24

[formal shadow]

i was lisqtening to kickback like 24/7 when the anime came out

[signal frigate]

I'm not a big fan of Demon Slayer BUT

I love how good it looks

[narrow wadi]

this is so sad

[signal frigate]

Entertainment District arc was an amazing season

[formal shadow]

agreed

[signal frigate]

And it's funny how similar CSM and Demon Slayer is when it comes to arcs

Season 1 of DS was an appetizer

Same with Chainsaw Man, meaning there's not alot of stuff happening, just standard story telling

And then the movies comes along that's about ONE particular character that later makes everybody cry

Then Season 2's gonna be full of nothing but action

[hearty tundra]

Just got trib on an ancient run 💔

[low fog]

negative brainstorm also deserves love, look at him

[narrow wadi]

i like piss card

[signal frigate]

I never noticed the stains

Little dude's been through it

[formal shadow]

to get golden ticket do i have to play a hand with 5 SCORING gold cards?

[low fog]

ALSO

[narrow wadi]

even if it looks pretty cool it's throwback so like ur still sad seeing it

[formal shadow]

hallo

[narrow wadi]

i don't remember, unlock requirement doesn't say they have to score but cos it's balatro they might need to

[formal shadow]

they dont need to score i raw dogged it

thank you

[narrow wadi]

np

[signal frigate]

Just get a gold card with a gold seal on it

Oh wait that's different

[narrow wadi]

i'm currently just sat in the psychic fight with 4 hand size

it's so sad

[uncut matrix]

the seed im on rn is such a joke

8 copy jokers most of which i couldnt even take :(

[signal frigate]

Why's that?

If it's a money issue, it might be your fault

[uncut matrix]

its a i only have 5 joker slots and 2 of them are baron mime issue

[zenith timber]

sell golden ticket? i got red seal gold

[signal frigate]

Yeah

[blissful cedar]

IS IT NEGATIVE RF THO

[narrow wadi]

sell showman

[zenith timber]

want more photo 😓

[signal frigate]

I would say just sell Ticket for now

[blissful cedar]

Sell golden wtf

[narrow wadi]

the end goal of the build should probably be idol

and ur kinda poor

[blissful cedar]

Showman is foil

[narrow wadi]

and?

[signal frigate]

He could also just sell the second photo

[uncut matrix]

not a single decent nat neg either

[signal frigate]

If he's surviving fine right now, he can swap out the second photo

[blissful cedar]

Oh thats highscore run

[narrow wadi]

u sell showman, it is literally only +50 chips given ur looking for idol anyway

[zenith timber]

so showman or gold

[narrow wadi]

u need gold to find idol

[zenith timber]

i go showman

[narrow wadi]

it is always showman

[zenith timber]

dupe chad or photo?

chad gives more retriggers for gold

so that then

[narrow wadi]

u sell showman u don't want another photo or chad

u want idol

[signal frigate]

If he wants a second copy of brainstorm, he should keep showman

His deck probably isn't fixed for Idol yet

It's not wise to pivot if that's the case, he'll die

[narrow wadi]

he would also need golden ticket to have any chance to find another brainstorm

the money is not great

[signal frigate]

That's why I'm suggesting to sell the second photo

I assume he's fine without a third one

[worthy yarrow]

oh nooo....

[signal frigate]

Gg go next

[buoyant ridge]

striahts are just soo bad

[formal shadow]

whgats the best order gonna be for this

[signal frigate]

It's a 43 card deck, I highly doubt this is fixed for Idol yet

[fringe crest]

homophobic hand

[narrow wadi]

this is the real gg go next

[last bolt]

I predicted it

[signal frigate]

None, you can't put anything in order lmfao

[zenith timber]

need like couple more deaths or hanging men

[coral drum]

Hory shet

[signal frigate]

How much score are you netting?

[fringe crest]

nice

[narrow wadi]

i mean this can be a baron pivot lol

[zenith timber]

like 30 bil flush 5 copying chad so 3 chad 2 photo

prob more if copying photo right?

[signal frigate]

And how much do you need to pass the blind?

[zenith timber]

yes but can’t find

[zenith timber]

95bil might die soon

but not copying photo

[narrow wadi]

yes but also less money

[coral drum]

I had fun but I wasnt planning on playing for naninf so I wasnt careful with my joker slots 🥀

[signal frigate]

Gold might have to go

[zenith timber]

plus i have a secret glass card if needed

[signal frigate]

You should've went with Lucky Cards

[zenith timber]

i’ll do chad as much as i can then die

[signal frigate]

This is a Photochad run

[narrow wadi]

gold ticket is literally the only chance this run has to get a decent score

u need money

[zenith timber]

i didn’t even mean for it just got lucky

[narrow wadi]

and that's all the money

it only goes for a mime

[zenith timber]

do i need to use glass on this

[narrow wadi]

prolly not

[signal frigate]

Nah

[narrow wadi]

u said ur scoring like 30bil

[signal frigate]

You pass that

[zenith timber]

yes without copy ohoto

[buoyant ridge]

straights are so shit generally

[signal frigate]

Next ante you might need to

[zenith timber]

with photo gives more so prob safe

[signal frigate]

I always go for Lucky Cards in Photochad runs

[narrow wadi]

gold cards are better here

cos ticket

[signal frigate]

Free up a space for a scoring joker

[narrow wadi]

u go for glass generally in photochad anyway

[signal frigate]

Then you can safely transition to glass soon

[narrow wadi]

the money from golden ticket is wayyyyy higher than it would be with lucky cards

[signal frigate]

Lucky cards can work as econ

[zenith timber]

wait so what’s my goal rn

[signal frigate]

The problem is the slot you'd be getting

[narrow wadi]

lucky cards are $1 per trigger, gold cards are $4 per trigger

[signal frigate]

Most definitely idol

[narrow wadi]

it's all kings, baron also works

either is fine

[signal frigate]

His handsize can be an issue, if it's Baron alone that's not gonna cut it

[zenith timber]

bro 💔💔

[signal frigate]

Yeah, I think you actually need that to survive

[buoyant ridge]

why isnt this winning ?

[signal frigate]

Say goodbye to gold for now

[signal frigate]

Are you playing straights?

[buoyant ridge]

yes

and i cant find good Xmult jokers

[formal shadow]

is dna valid here and if so what to replace with

[signal frigate]

Put an ace first for Chad to retrigger, you'll probably win that with Acrobat

[narrow wadi]

u just wanna setup a good last hand then u shld win pretty easily

[signal frigate]

I think you should kill your non kings first since this seems to be a Baron build

[buoyant ridge]

that doesnt win

straights are generally so weak in balatro

[formal shadow]

okay so dna later then?

[signal frigate]

No?

[buoyant ridge]

there arent just good joker synergies

[signal frigate]

Why'd you waste the rest of your hands?

[signal frigate]

It's not about synergy

Synergy isn't everything in Balatro

Straights have really good scaling

They're the 4th fastest scaling planet

Saturn alone can make up for the lack of +mult

[coral drum]

Take dna and drop photochad if you have baron and mime atp

[signal frigate]

They should focus on deckfixing first

They have next to no fixing

A trading card is more viable here

And one good Tarot generator

[coral drum]

Tru they have 64 cards

[signal frigate]

Hallucination or even cartomancer is good

[coral drum]

Unless they flood the deck with so many kings it doesnt matter lmao then they could look for a hologram

[signal frigate]

And a couple of purples

[signal frigate]

This ain't a Hologram deck

[buoyant ridge]

maybe i should play the mayhem mod if i want it more fair

[signal frigate]

Fair?

[tender quarry]

"Playing Pokermon on my main profile won't skew my stats in any way"

[signal frigate]

Why'd you use your main profile for mods?

[buoyant ridge]

jap, mayhem is at least balanced

[coral drum]

Only if youre going for high score or naninf it isn't, any decks a hologram deck otherwise

[tender quarry]

From basically one gold+ stake run which I wasn't even trying to break btw

[signal frigate]

Compared to Vanilla?

[tender quarry]

I have a backup if I want to restore it

But I don't see a reason not to tbh

[coral drum]

After I complete my joker collection ill install the extra credit mod or something

Heard it adds some fun stuff that doesnt break the game

[zenith timber]

worth pivoting?

[signal frigate]

Maybe

You'd want a mime too

[formal shadow]

its time to replace barnarnar with blueprint correct

[signal frigate]

How good's your high card?

[signal frigate]

And yes

[zenith timber]

level 22

[signal frigate]

Try it

[zenith timber]

what do i sell though?

[signal frigate]

Chad

[zenith timber]

and do i copy baron or

[coral drum]

A sock and buskin with all those extra retriggers would go hard tbh

[signal frigate]

Then try to roll a bit for mime

[signal frigate]

One for Baron, then the rest is still photochad

[zenith timber]

might have to use balatro calc first to make sure i dont die before i buy

[signal frigate]

Nah, that's only one retrigger

And it's a Photochad run

So, it'll only add one singular trigger

[coral drum]

Its 5 retriggers on a full hand what

[signal frigate]

That doesn't matter since Photo only activates on the first hand

So you're not getting any benefit out of it unless you have Idol

[formal shadow]

socks not doing me anything now right

im just doing high card

[signal frigate]

Aye

[coral drum]

If youre only playing high card yeah sure but if youre doing flush five you can use the hanging ballot with the sock for 7 extra retriggers instead of 4

[signal frigate]

Now you just wanna replace Photochad

[signal frigate]

Again, what are you getting from the extra retriggers?

Photo only scores on the first card

[formal shadow]

ok so then cavendish the photo?

or chad probably

im just doing high card tho

[signal frigate]

How many golds you got?

[steel chasm]

Interesting build

[signal frigate]

And how much are you currently scoring?

[formal shadow]

lowkey forgor

above 1b

[serene forge]

runner is not a straight joker

[signal frigate]

Get rid of Chad for now and convert the rest of your non gold or steel kings into Gold with that midas, probably get rid of photo for the Cavendish too

[formal shadow]

wait wouldnt i want steel kings tho

for retriggewrs

[signal frigate]

You want a ton of money if you're scoring enough to pass the blinds

[steel chasm]

Enough to one hand the blind

[serene forge]

you dont want steel until you need it

[formal shadow]

ohh ic

[serene forge]

gold is better to make a lot of money

[formal shadow]

makes sense

[signal frigate]

Good to know, I'm asking someone else though

[steel chasm]

Oh

Mb

[signal frigate]

Peak build btw

[signal frigate]

Nah you good lmao

[steel chasm]

Gang I might be cooked

[serene forge]

you're probably fine

[signal frigate]

No you're fine

That's exactly what Madness is for

[serene forge]

probably shouldve thought twice about taking ancient with 5 eternals though

[signal frigate]

Madness doesn't care about your cards

So debuffing them is pointless

[signal frigate]

I sure do hope you've leveled up your preferred hand alot for this

[steel chasm]

Should be enough

[signal frigate]

I love Verdant Leaf for this exact reason

[steel chasm]

Hell yea purple stake beaten

[signal frigate]

Because Madness just laughs at its face

[signal frigate]

Noice

[steel chasm]

Me facing the plant using the abandoned deck

[signal frigate]

Oh nooo, my cards have been DEBUFFED?!??

Whatever shall I do with this x14 Canio and +166 Red card I have?!?

[steel chasm]

The “larger blind requirement” watching in fear as I score 10 times what its requirement is 3 antes before I come against it

[signal frigate]

That would be way more threatening if there's a boss that does the polar opposite

Debuffing all Jokers instead

[steel chasm]

“All jokers debuffed until one playing card sold”

[signal frigate]

What if there's a boss that debuffs all jokers if you play your least played hand?

Or your most played

[minor turtle]

just had this goated run even tho it was only purple stake

[atomic trout]

Should I take Photograph?

[vocal rose]

no

[steel chasm]

Me laughing at amber acorn when it Litterally does not matter where the position of my jokers are

[vocal rose]

you're on abandoned

why would that

ever be a good choice

[steel chasm]

It would be funny

[serene forge]

oh i missed the joke

[atomic trout]

You're abandoned! 😩

[steel chasm]

Take the preemptive photograph

[signal frigate]

Me when abandoned deck:

It can work

If you're willing to use your money to get a ton of faces

[steel chasm]

Peridolia or whatever its name is

[signal frigate]

It doesn't say you're not allowed to do a Photochad run

But do you really want to waste your time doing that?

[zenith timber]

my econ is fried now, golden ticket eternal looks tempting, is it worth?

[steel chasm]

I once had a photochad oops all bloodstone combo

[signal frigate]

This is why you need mime for all them gold cards

[zenith timber]

i’m trying man luck doesn’t like me

i’ll skip on the ticket

see how much longer i can survive

[signal frigate]

You have next to no Uncommons to block the pool to show Mime

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[zenith timber]

should i replace cartomancer with some uncommon

[minor turtle]

bloodstone my beloved

[zenith timber]

never mind cartomancer is uncommon

💀

[minor turtle]

why'd you bojack me

[serene forge]

@hybrid tendon

[hybrid tendon]

true !

[serene forge]

[hybrid tendon]

[zenith timber]

bro i got idol but the fricken card ain’t it

i have a single jack of hearts

i could still win next ante if my glass jack comes

[serene forge]

common idol L

[hybrid tendon]

idol moment

[left skiff]

Any tip for the green stake?

[tepid skiff]

pairs

[last bolt]

are pairs that good

[tepid skiff]

for gold stake

[narrow wadi]

what a dagger

[last bolt]

So was playing ace pairs in this run good

[minor turtle]

how do I stop being a flush advocate

[last bolt]

find a hand you like

[minor turtle]

I like flush 😭

always running hearts

[zenith timber]

how do i tell the calculator the idol card

[minor turtle]

Man I'm nowhere close to understanding this game

[narrow wadi]

speak into your computer and hope it's listening

[zenith timber]

can i even win this? i have like 3 glass cards in my deck i can try to discard for

idol had 1 job

[narrow wadi]

getting all 3 glass cards gets u like x64 extra which isn't enough to bridge the gap idt

[zenith timber]

💔 i will discard the one jack i have for another king at the very least

wish this king luck

[atomic trout]

Should take Photograph?

[zenith timber]

💔

[fallow fog]

sup

as a baron mime enjoyer

there should be a red seal equivalent of editions

so a retrigger edition

thoughts

[atomic trout]

Tiger Five of a Kind

[warm pebble]

I feel the same 😬😳

[vale shale]

Quintilla 💥💥💥

Alright alright. 1 take gold stake run any deck. What deck we thinking bout.

[wary flicker]

feel like

too op

to have two

mainly for jokers

[wary flicker]

painted

[vale shale]

Mmm ok.

Am I still 100% win rate on painted

I think so.

[wary flicker]

I wish

[buoyant ridge]

unbalanced game

[hot plank]

im running the deck that gives the telescope voucher immediately, and i cant seem to get observatory ante 1 at all. is it coded not to or am i just unlucky?

i can get it from voucher tags tho

[atomic trout]

I call it the Fragile Five of a Kind Flush

[buoyant ridge]

i cheated...

[hot plank]

shame baseball card isnt uncommon

[buoyant ridge]

this game so inbaklanced so i must cheat

why cant this game have eXponential mult

[atomic trout]

Why?

WHAT?! 🤯

[hot plank]

trib appears only when you dont need it

[novel hound]

i’m devastated

i wish this game had a creative mode or something where you can just give yourself whatever you want and just get the highest scores you can for fun

[minor portal]

rental perishable brainstorm

[novel hound]

better than no brainstorm

[minor portal]

maybe if you had any jokers

but currently, no, it isn't.

[novel hound]

yeah i abandoned the run already idec

[fringe crest]

ive discovered that supernova is op on the telescope deck

ive been staking it for today trying to atleast get to gold by the end of the night and its carried my last 3 runs

[novel hound]

i also had a crafty joker right before this but i sold it to see if i could inch closer to getting the photograph (no bruh)

so

[atomic trout]

Noooo

MY GLASSES

[faint linden]

This run is socking my buskin if you know what I mean

Ghost Deck isn't Ghost Decking

Not getting any Spectrals

[stoic root]

thanks
very helpful

[faint linden]

Love to see it

[buoyant ridge]

thats why hit the road is also a super bad joker

[faint linden]

What's that one do?

[maiden horizon]

There is a debug mode if ur playing on pc

[maiden horizon]

Gain 0.5x mult for every discarded Jack, resets after defeating blind

[faint linden]

Ew

[maiden horizon]

Very hard to use past blue stake

[faint linden]

Would be good if not for the reset

[primal kindle]

What does erosion do

[maiden horizon]

Yeah it would be a legendary bro

[maiden horizon]

+4 mult for every removed card from your deck

[primal kindle]

Ok

[dark cairn]

AWOOGA

[primal kindle]

They should add cvnty regirock with a handbag joker

[vale shale]

Still 100% winrate probably

[maiden horizon]

Four fingers on painted deck is epic bro

[buoyant ridge]

kill your run

[dark cairn]

First time ive ever seen someone using four fingers on gold stake

[primal kindle]

What’s the red one

[maiden horizon]

Madness

[vale shale]

Madness.

[dark cairn]

combat

[primal kindle]

I know you’re mad about it what’s it’s name

[atomic trout]

LOL
Them Jacks stay for the ride.

[primal kindle]

Thanks for getting rid of it so the guy on top can go thru free

[buoyant ridge]

cryptid or mayhem mod if i want a more balanced game

[primal kindle]

Yea sure

[buoyant ridge]

i just cant win on green deck gold stake

[primal kindle]

I can only win on checkered dick

[atomic trout]

Try Green Deck.

[primal kindle]

Money is money cash is cash you are bold, brash and you belong in the trash

[atomic trout]

But.. made it Gold Stakes somehow with the Green Deck, lol

And it was my favorite Deck until Orange Stakes.

[buoyant ridge]

the problem is this game is too complicated for my brain to handle on gold stake

[primal kindle]

GOD STAKE

[buoyant ridge]

everything is so complicated

[atomic trout]

I play on Whitey Stakes

[buoyant ridge]

thats why dr spectred can play this with his PHD in maths

[atomic trout]

Not the 🔴 Stakes

Red Stakes makes the game too hard.

[vocal rose]

stop coping

[primal kindle]

As I was saying about the cvnty regirock with a handbag joker

[vocal rose]

im pretty sure hes said his phd contributes nothing to his game knowledge in balatro

[primal kindle]

You need math to play

[vocal rose]

im not understanding the correlation

[atomic trout]

Spectred has played the game more than us fans combined XD

[vocal rose]

you could be a god at balatro and not touch the college level

same goes for the other way

[atomic trout]

Spectred is really smart with his decision making in Balatro.

[primal kindle]

Not even a single person has ever been to a concert

I read on a college level

[inland temple]

am i going insane

[atomic trout]

What does college level have to do with Balatro?

[vocal rose]

nothing at all

[atomic trout]

What planet card is that? 😂

[vocal rose]

people like to compare themselves to drspectred

come up short because they havent put in the time like he has

and then attribute the reason why to being he has a phd

[atomic trout]

Fuck 'em. I just play Balatro for fun XD

They can compare themselves to Spectrum is kinda sad. Just have fun with Balatro. I know I have. 😛

Does anyone watch Roffle?

[brave fox]

My deck is a mess rn

[uncut slate]

why is this guy always taking scary face and playing the dang 3oak

[obsidian oracle]

trib.

[vocal rose]

bad choices

which puts himself into a worse mindset

[uncut slate]

yeah

probably

[simple creek]

God Golden Needle sucks
Did Jokerless in one try but Golden Needle in maybe 20

And it required a lucky double chad, photograph, and NO plant 🫠🫠 maybe I suck at this game lmaoo

[uncut slate]

golden needle is just evil tbh

[simple creek]

My jokerless deck
Got lucky with very early purple seal and tarot vouchers

[dark cairn]

i beat jokerless using flushes cause i got a billion sun and moon cards and a lot of blue seals early

[simple creek]

No way 😭😭 honestly goated

[dark cairn]

iirc beating that stupid challenge took me like 3 hours

all my prior runs, where i had tried playing straights, either died cause i didnt draw the straight or died cause i couldnt keep up with scaling

it was awful, im never touching it again

[uncut slate]

i first tried most of the challenges

golden needle took a few and jokerless took two

[simple creek]

Did u switch talking about golden needle or still jokerless?
I saw one person say use 4oak in jokerless like a year ago when I completed the game on PC, and just ran with it again

[uncut slate]

i used straights

[simple creek]

Golden Needle.... is there even a large strategy

[uncut slate]

gneedle just seems like luck to me idk

[simple creek]

Straights' scaling is good... if you can, yeah, draw them 😬😬😬

[uncut slate]

you get so many tarots

[last bolt]

I HAVE TWO DECKS LEFT

[simple creek]

Sigh
Should I attempt C++ on mobile
I know I will
But I'm like... do I want to lol

[simple creek]

Is black one of them?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[last bolt]

C++ should be possible on any platform

[last bolt]

flip a coin

[simple creek]

Yeah it's possible
Its just such a slog LMAO

[hearty pilot]

Dude.

[neon mural]

Now I just gotta hunt down some jokers I dont have gold stickered and some ecto tags

[last bolt]

Anyways, here's the progress
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |

[simple creek]

D o u b l e b a n a n a

[simple creek]

You did black deck gold stake, rest is a breeze
You're a balatro professional

[uncut slate]

yeah as much as i enjoy gold stake i think c++ ends up being a little silly

[neon mural]

Whats the worst part of c++? Cause im down to my last 15 and its honestly been pretty fun the whole way

[uncut slate]

it's the last few

[simple creek]

Yeah
I did a run on anaglyph to try to get jokers
Banked a bunch of tags, found a negative tag ante 5
Every. Single. Joker. I got. Perishable

[uncut slate]

perishable still gets stickers

[simple creek]

I know
Wasn't strong enough yet to skip to the end

OH WAIT

IM DUMB

LMAOO I FORGOT

welp

[glad echo]

Looking for one random joker when you're at 149/150

[uncut slate]

lol

but yeah when it's a random garbage uncommon that the game won't show you it's just playing gold stake

whether or not you get c++ from a run is kinda unrelated to your actions

[simple creek]

🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️
I got C++ on PC under the impression that they don't get stickers after dying BTW
Only learned otherwise like, recently, when talking to someone

[uncut slate]

c+ is a more interesting challenge

obviously not as big of an accomplishment but still

[simple creek]

Yeah agreed

[last bolt]

did it with the most unconventional setup

lvl 2 pair btw

[neon mural]

https://i.imgur.com/jijjo4U.png

Whats gonna fuck me over more, not finding a non-gold sticker, or Violet Vessel?

hold up

Holy just made it

[ivory reef]

Ngl challenges are way more fun than the base game

[inland matrix]

How to make joker order look good 😭

[harsh estuary]

should i swap the fibonacci with the polychrome scholar or not? pls help i need some advice

[neon mural]

Depends on if youve done any deckfixing / what your hand levels are

[harsh estuary]

this is my run rn

[neon mural]

okay, have you done any deckfixing and what are your planet levels

[vocal rose]

fuck no

[harsh estuary]

this is my deck n planet levels

[neon mural]

yeah I wouldnt swap

[harsh estuary]

okay ty so much ive been thinking abt this for like 30 mins

[neon mural]

you dont actually gain anything cause you lose the baseball synergy to gain a 1.5x poly, its a net neutral swap and its easier to use fibonacci

[scenic sigil]

I just got C++ earlier this morning

What's next

idk what to do now

[harsh estuary]

okay ty ty

[scenic sigil]

is it feasible to get naneinf on an iPhone sixteen? I've had high score runs but the phone really starts to overheat and slow down

[neon mural]

no idea

[scenic sigil]

Don't tell me I have to play other games now

Do I look into slay the spire

[neon mural]

I love sts

it was the game that got me into roguelikes

[atomic trout]

I never tried it, is it fun?

Feels too rougey

[neon mural]

its a completely different format to balatro obviously but yeah I have a lot of fun

[atomic trout]

Like Hades.

[neon mural]

Ive A20d on defect and decent on the othe 3

I mean I love hades too

but if you didnt like hades you might not like sts

[atomic trout]

I keep seeing Slay the Spyre on Steam..

I wonder why? 😆

[scenic sigil]

I think I can now play gold stake normally, for fun

I've been shitting all over my builds just to get more stickers for so long

I can make actually good builds now

[manic talon]

strongest cat

[neon mural]

bro this banana has survived to Ante 6 I mean what are we doing

[harsh estuary]

should i swap the baseball w the abstract joker?

[neon mural]

nah you have 3 good uncommons for baseball card

if anything id swap for the half, but it depends on wht hands youre playing, cause if youre focusing pairs/3oak id keep the half

[harsh estuary]

okay ty so much

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

btw put bootstraps between matador and half joker

[scenic sigil]

Think about it. Is even just 20+15 (only counting the half joker) better than 20x1.5x1.5x1.5

[harsh estuary]

ive done the round already

[harsh estuary]

okay ty

[scenic sigil]

For next time

[harsh estuary]

okay thanks for the advice

[scenic sigil]

I think most of your score is coming from that baseball card rn

[harsh estuary]

yea its a lifesaver

[neon mural]

oh my god my gross michael finally died on round 20

[scenic sigil]

Were you joking when you asked whether you should sell it

[harsh estuary]

i never reach ante 8 before this

[neon mural]

no I think hes very new

[scenic sigil]

You can do it buddy

I think you could replace half joker with any uncommon and win easily

[neon mural]

yep

[scenic sigil]

Just keep the bootstraps on the left

[neon mural]

I have an 83 card deck on a gold stake lol

[scenic sigil]

Hologram?

[neon mural]

7.75x yep

[scenic sigil]

Nice

[harsh estuary]

thank you im very new in this game, js bought it a week ago

[neon mural]

2 cryptids + Magic Trick

[calm elk]

Ok guys im a little bit new

But im on a high card run on the yellow deck white stake right now

is the hanging chad worth replacing any of these jokers with? its hard decision

[minor portal]

Supernova.

[wintry ice]

probably better than supernova yeah

[neon mural]

I have to sell the Cavendish but I have tried so many times to get walkie talkie gold sticker, I need to do it

[wintry ice]

what levels are your hands

[neon mural]

yeah supernova is gonzo

[wintry ice]

you might be able to ditch bull if your levels are high

do you score enough without either

[calm elk]

Vic im going for high card only to beat ante 8, my high card is level 7 right now and I just beat the "no duplicate hand types" boss so im chilling on that front

[wintry ice]

ig you could sell photo if you don't have much other than that

[calm elk]

Im scoring like ~50,000ish per high card

[wintry ice]

i'd definitely keep supernova

[neon mural]

lets go, Walkie Talkie finally gold stickered

[calm elk]

Not worth ditching any of them then?*

[neon mural]

I mean...you could ditch mail-in but youd need to make sure you get hand levels asap

[wintry ice]

take a screenshot of your deck

[calm elk]

I do have the telescope voucher purchased

[wintry ice]

if you have a few lucky cards or gold seals chad is probably better than photo

since it isn't doing much

[calm elk]

oh my deck is heinous

[wintry ice]

or if your supernova is somehow low

[cloud sinew]

dropping rebate wouldnt do anything because it's negative

[calm elk]

idk what I was thinking early game

Im also very new lol

[neon mural]

wdym its polychrome

[neon mural]

not from my screenshot

[cloud sinew]

???

[neon mural]

this run from the dude with the triangle name

[wintry ice]

this is the context

[cloud sinew]

you literally just showed this screenshot though

[neon mural]

I was answering the other dude who posted question

its just unfortunate both screenshots had mail in

[calm elk]

My bad if i interrupted yall

[neon mural]

no u didnt

[wintry ice]

it would have been clearer to reply to it

[cloud sinew]

ah i understand

[wintry ice]

instead of reposting the image

[calm elk]

guess I just skip it for now?

so painful to pass up on though haha

[neon mural]

I mean you have telescope

you can scale high card pretty quickly

[wintry ice]

if your high card play count is low you could make the switch

[neon mural]

and its white stake

so boss blind would only be 100k

[calm elk]

my play count is at 17

[neon mural]

and you said youre scoring 50k with high cards rn?

[calm elk]

Yeah

[wintry ice]

though it's less of a guarrantee since it's a condition

you could consider selling supernova for it

[neon mural]

I personally would just grab the photo chad and get high card up a few levels cause mail ins not helping scoring as much as the extra x4 would be

[wintry ice]

rebate helps set up photo

so

[atomic trout]

I like Mime now, I just wish it appears
