[neon mural]

how

just cause its asking for discards?

[calm elk]

hm. guess I'll pass on it for now but I'm glad it's an actual tough decision and not just be being completely inexperienced

[wintry ice]

econ helps deckfixing

[cloud sinew]

rebat is very good econ which enables rank-specific deckfixing quite well, and youre rewarded for fixing for ranks for photograph and mail-in as mail-in rebate picks cards proportional to what's in your deck

[wintry ice]

you should also get blue seals if you make the switch

[atomic trout]

This is bad.

[wintry ice]

uh oh

[calm elk]

damn

[atomic trout]

And its not even the Glass Challenge

[calm elk]

thats crazy

[neon mural]

I mean I think he clears 8th either way so ultimately its not that big a choice

[blissful cedar]

So if i have 20 queens im more likely to get queens from mail in?

[atomic trout]

Damn

[wintry ice]

i'd still rather sell supernova instead because econ can translate into safety

[atomic trout]

I love SuperNova, high card runs

[blissful cedar]

R u a polyglot angry monkey

[neon mural]

im afraid to google that word

[terse dock]

Knowing several languages

[last bolt]

A polyglot is someone that speaks multiple languages

[atomic trout]

A poly what?

[atomic trout]

That's new.

And strange. I just like Spanish

[neon mural]

wouldnt you just say multi-lingual

[terse dock]

mmm fancy

[atomic trout]

Biligual, the game has Mexican Spanish. I don't like Spain Spanish LOL

[blissful cedar]

I ran across the word poly glot and it just hit me

[atomic trout]

And English is overated, haha

[blissful cedar]

I swear i saw you post something in japanese too

But it was probably the waffle dufe

[neon mural]

polyglot you have to explain if people dont know what it means, multi-lingual is pretty self explanatory

[atomic trout]

Someone here does

[last bolt]

It is NOT new

[atomic trout]

That's better, lol

[last bolt]

Mid 17th century

smh

[atomic trout]

Dear god

I have a poly gut!

[wintry ice]

poly = various
glot = tongue/language

[atomic trout]

Or just bilingual, only two languages, haha

[neon mural]

I understand how words work, im just saying not everyone knows what a glot is

[blissful cedar]

Put that glot to work!

[terse dock]

There is scarce new in english

[atomic trout]

I shouldn't have shown you guys in Spanish ,lol

[last bolt]

Bilingual yeah

I'm tryna learn like

3 other languages

[blissful cedar]

Squaddddd

Which ones

[last bolt]

Apart from English and Spanish

[atomic trout]

Whoops

wait. wrong screenshot

[blissful cedar]

Im trying to get my accent in spanish to come out and also hit n2 in japanese

Im like high n4 low n3 right now

Idk i can rrrrrr in spanish anyways

[last bolt]

Real

[blissful cedar]

We hate english squad

[last bolt]

i have a friend that speaks no english at all and has his game on english

like

[blissful cedar]

It helps vocab and alot in the long run

[atomic trout]

My best run

[blissful cedar]

Cap

[last bolt]

should i try to put mine in russian

[atomic trout]

I love posting failures and close calls

[last bolt]

I'm tryna learn russian

[atomic trout]

Like this. How??

[wintry ice]

what people's screenshots look like after complaining about rng

[atomic trout]

Got the worst luck

The reroll joker Is so expensive

[placid ridge]

I think a lucky card just triggered 3/3 times for me with hanging chad...

[blissful cedar]

If you dont know anything it wont do much but it will come back when you do learn something as your brain burnt it in some where

[placid ridge]

and I opened this chat to ask whether that seems insane

[blissful cedar]

Just dont fry ur brain

[atomic trout]

For real?

[blissful cedar]

The money or the mult

[placid ridge]

yeah...

[atomic trout]

Oops All Sixes helps

It's so underrated

[placid ridge]

my luck this run has been insane on many levels

[atomic trout]

What does the leftmost Joker do?

[placid ridge]

basically already won by ante 3

[atomic trout]

I totally forgotten

[blissful cedar]

Card gives 1.5x mult

When played

Suit

Card suit

[atomic trout]

Sounds lame

[placid ridge]

ancient joker. It is very good. One of my favorites.

[blissful cedar]

Not card

[atomic trout]

I remember never touching it

[last bolt]

Я ненавижу Цветок 👎👎👎

I know some

[atomic trout]

I always avoided it. Felt extremely situational

[last bolt]

A bit

Idk

[atomic trout]

Ewww. Russian

[placid ridge]

play a flush of whatever suit it says and you get 7.6x mult

[blissful cedar]

Thats cool

[atomic trout]

Hello?

[placid ridge]

with no retriggers

[last bolt]

what's wrong with russian

[blissful cedar]

Yeah exposing urself to more uhhh russian helps

Speaking odd

[last bolt]

i like the language

[blissful cedar]

Should change my phone language to somethin

[last bolt]

i wanna learn russian

[atomic trout]

I like the language too. It's erradic as the deck

[last bolt]

[blissful cedar]

Why do u hate flower

Is that an idiom for something

Thought u called me a slur

[last bolt]

Цветок is the name for "The Plant" blind in russian

[blissful cedar]

Oh

[atomic trout]

Totem, Photograph, Hanging Chad, Sock, and of course Banana

[blissful cedar]

Yeah fuck the Цветок

[atomic trout]

Forgot the plant is imminent

[placid ridge]

ancient joker, not totem. Much better.

for early game

that is

[blissful cedar]

Ive never gotten totem up

[last bolt]

👎👎👎

[blissful cedar]

I dont even think i have a stamp on it

[serene forge]

I love The Plant

[atomic trout]

Oh god..is is the plant?

[placid ridge]

speaking of banana, I decided to buy gros michel just cuz, since I wanted cavendish later. gros michel went extinct immediately and cavendish was in the shop.

[atomic trout]

[calm elk]

hell yeah just beat yellow deck for the first time with my high card set up

[atomic trout]

It's common Joker. Oops All Sixes makes it mold faster

[calm elk]

im scoring like 700k per hand right now

[placid ridge]

very true

[last bolt]

idk how yall manage to do high card builds

[last bolt]

this was the closest i got to one

[serene forge]

that's a good one

[calm elk]

Im gonna be real im super new so I think a lot of this was just luck but heres my set up right now

[last bolt]

negative castle

yum

[calm elk]

I bought a bunch of random vouchers that havent really helped me at all but telescope is goated

[last bolt]

ion fw telescope only bcz of nebula deck

-1 consumable slot

🥀

[calm elk]

And wasteful voucher has been really good with yorrick

[lament bronze]

Fire

[last bolt]

Tips for uh

|

green and nebula

pls

[placid ridge]

I am having perhaps the luckiest run of my entire life honestly. Feels crazy.

[lament bronze]

Awful awful things to see

[placid ridge]

the negative tag hits could've been better but other than that, insane.

[last bolt]

my last two decks for c+ 🥀

[lament bronze]

Nebula if you really want to get it over with, start with a straight

Then spam celestials

One single Saturn can kill all the way to small blind ante 2

If you have a high straight

[last bolt]

damn

[lament bronze]

That's what, 4 bucks if you get a celestial pack shop 1?

Shop 2?

And with 2 you can also barely come close to oneshotting ante 2 entirely

[last bolt]

I could try doing the same thing i did on yellow

[lament bronze]

It's nuclear, and it's the one with the most scaling per actually being available

[last bolt]

without drunkard and chaos, ofc

homophobic build 🔥

[lament bronze]

Nebula deck feeding into straights is nuclear enough, but yeah

Also good for the new scoring requirements and being joker agnostic

So you won't find that many troubles with stickers getting in the way of what jokers you want for these

Only issue is rng reliance and somewhat backwards deck fixing than usual

Green though don't got too much, it's rough

[last bolt]

so

should i do green before nebula

so ion struggle that much

or

not on my last one

[signal frigate]

You don't have to worry about Interest for greendeck, nebula you kinda just use the vouchers and planets to your advantage, Constellation helps alot

[placid ridge]

So... I sell photograph, right?

oh wait... triboulet doesn't work like that lol

nvm

[acoustic kettle]

Sell triboulet

[placid ridge]

big brain

now, the face card retriggers are nice for ancient joker

on some level, selling triboulet makes sense, but I refuse lol

[stiff ore]

oh boy what a deal, thanks tag

[wintry ice]

pareidolia likely just makes you more vulnerable here

[wintry ice]

average showman and average uncommon tag in 1 screenshot

[stiff ore]

YO! FIRST SHOP ARE YOU KIDDDING ME!

[abstract rivet]

Throwbacks a trap

Especially on black deck

Don't try to skip every blind

[stiff ore]

i dont, but it going up by .25 every time i do is pretty nice imo

[west perch]

i mean i did gold stake black with throwback

but i got really lucky

i got a throwback and a stuntman

[shrewd hatch]

Got a second black deck gold stake win

Obelisk is so goated man

🗿

[wintry ice]

it has a far greater cost per 0.25x mult than other xmult jokers

[terse dock]

Play one (1) hand with obelisk

[signal frigate]

Dont take that

[placid ridge]

I did not, thanks lol

[wintry ice]

like const needs you to use 3 planets
dna needs you to add 1 card
and campfire just needs you to sell 1 card

[placid ridge]

took some thinking, but I realized it was a bad idea

[wintry ice]

throwback needs you to give up a whole round of scaling

[signal frigate]

Good on ya

[wintry ice]

which in the meta where you want to spend as much time as possible in rounds

isn't really manageable

[terse dock]

Campfire used to need you to sell a half a card instead

[signal frigate]

Kill that throwback.

I don't like that it's occupying a joker slot.

[signal frigate]

Then you lose out on a couple dollars from the round you would've played, possible better jokers in the shop and then an entire round of what could've been good scaling from stuff like Blue Seals

Is that worth the mult you get from Throwback?

[wintry ice]

it usually just serves as a polychrome if you have like

ante 1 investment

[signal frigate]

Isn't it also uncommon?

I guess it's good burner fuel for BBC

[wintry ice]

yea

[signal frigate]

Even then, this joker is genuine ass, I don't like it

[wintry ice]

me neither

[signal frigate]

It's downside is too punishing for a tiny reward

It's even more punishing in Higher Stakes

Right now he can get away with it on Green

[spiral cairn]

Day 1 of balatro
more like balls

actually its like day 18 but whatever

[signal frigate]

Can't even remember the amount of times I've played this damn game

[lunar zealot]

Who says the sacred words

[signal frigate]

I dare.

[lunar zealot]

You are deemed worthy to speak its name

[signal frigate]

I thank thee for thy will

[serene forge]

what the fuck

that's genuinely so funny

now don't take an uncommon tag ever again

[stiff ore]

im not sure if i should sell something for greedy

[wintry ice]

it does more than droll

[serene forge]

photograph

[wintry ice]

photo isn't terrible with sock

[serene forge]

photograph

[wintry ice]

still probably does more than droll

[stiff ore]

but sock makes it a X4 multi

[atomic trout]

Is this too much scaling?

[stiff ore]

jesus

[wintry ice]

no

go further

[atomic trout]

I feel like it's not enough, haha

[halcyon sage]

i wonder what ill choose

[atomic trout]

Nah. Not enough scaling.

I kinda forgot Baron exists.

[zinc willow]

So this is kinda crazy on the negative count

[atomic trout]

How?

What's with the top left?

[zinc willow]

I watch YouTube while playing

[atomic trout]

What a list, 🤣

[zinc willow]

Will drop seed when I die lol

[atomic trout]

But the Negative Count. That's a lot

[zinc willow]

Im a big Th3Birdman15 fan

[atomic trout]

You skipping a lot?

[stiff ore]

should i do it? lol

[atomic trout]

Depends.

[zinc willow]

A little cant remember I know 1 of those is a natty neg

[atomic trout]

What's your deck like and what are you planet scaling?

[stiff ore]

mostly been an econ diamond flush

[atomic trout]

Scaling chips with Hiker.

[wintry ice]

idt you have the space

[atomic trout]

I see the Diamond Joker, missing more Diamonds?

[stiff ore]

yeah thats the thing, id ell something tag the soda then judge a random joker

[atomic trout]

You could risk the Glyph

Hieroglyph. Yeh. Take the eye.

[wintry ice]

nah

not on black deck

[atomic trout]

Awww. You can use the scale more with Hiker.

[zinc willow]

Just flush could use a lucky cat

[atomic trout]

That's Black Deck? Holy

[wintry ice]

2 hands is a terrible amount

[stiff ore]

yeah im skipping it

[atomic trout]

Hanging Chad? Sock and Sockit?

[lunar zealot]

Do it....

Doooooooo ittttttttt.....

[atomic trout]

Palpatine says Do It.

[stiff ore]

HAAAAH

[zinc willow]

Rando seeds be crazy

[atomic trout]

The game can be crazy at times

[zinc willow]

Especially on checkered deck if you've messed with em

[atomic trout]

My best deck

[stiff ore]

so i sell hiker for blueprint yeah?

[atomic trout]

Blueprint should never be sold, lol

[zinc willow]

I got my black run from an arrowhead. Chad, blurred, and whatever the club version of around head is called (i never use it)

[atomic trout]

Wait. I read that wrong. Take the Blueprint*

[stiff ore]

should i sell hiker for blueprint?

or something else to keep the scaling

[atomic trout]

Rough Gem is nice

If only you can find Smeared Joker.

[stiff ore]

a card useful in any situation lol
leave it in my hand - X1.5 multi
discard it - tarot card
play it - adds to my econ flush

[atomic trout]

Nice

[zinc willow]

Smeared. Idk why I called it blurred, I've only got like 400 hours in here, im a bit of a newby

[atomic trout]

Same here, I forgot about Ancient Joker one time here.

I get that one and Totem confused

[zinc willow]

I know what they do, I just forget the damn names

[atomic trout]

And the Obelisk.

[zinc willow]

Add is a bitch, only thing worse is Type 1 Diabeties

And I got both

[atomic trout]

I got diabetes after eating too many Cavendish with Diet Soda

[zinc willow]

Okay that made me laugh. Gotta chill on my end gonna wake my wife up lol

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[atomic trout]

Oh way, Monolith and Obelisk. Haha, I like the challenge deck.

[zinc willow]

I havnt EVER been able to use Obelisk correctly its that one I just dont get

I assume it works similar to the bus but I really dont know

[atomic trout]

You play high card for a while until it reaches a number so high that when you play other hands AND not high card, it scales on each turn

Playing a high card will reset the xMult

That's just an example, play a hand that you know it wont reach and flow over.

[zinc willow]

The reset functions what ends up killing me

Thank you for explaining that does make more sense

[atomic trout]

[If the most-played hand is a tie between multiple hands, playing any tied hand will reset Obelisk.]

Thanks Wiki 😄

The challenge is HARD though

[zinc willow]

I got Bus to green on an all aces deck in the random deck category so I dont have much ground to stand on

[atomic trout]

Sounds like a good thing

Right?

[zinc willow]

I mean. Depends there are those who say any award given in that category dont count because its a home field advantage which I guess has some credence becuase you can seed farm for ages

I could technically farm for an a 8+ kings deck for a couple hours and find just about any joker i want

They occur (atleast for me on mobile) about every 9 resets

Someone with better math skills could break that down ALOT better than me

[atomic trout]

Or just guess

[zinc willow]

True...

[atomic trout]

Use your math thinking skills.

I just go for the moon. And lose

[zinc willow]

I do math the long way, common core is handy until you dont have somewhere to write shit down

[atomic trout]

Easy

I just did the math in my head and got lucky

Last hand? NO problem

[zinc willow]

Ganaste.... is that Greek? Just guessing I dont have much in language skills

[atomic trout]

Mexican Spanish

[stiff ore]

sweet

[remote comet]

Someday eventually someone will make a physical version of balatro 🥹

[zinc willow]

Ahhhhh. Knew i should've taken that instead of german...

[atomic trout]

What was your deck and planets?

[atomic trout]

I wish I knew German.

[atomic trout]

That poor deck must be stuffed

[atomic trout]

You're really are collecting diamonds

Flush run too?

[zinc willow]

Its not a "pretty" language, I dont speak it fluently but I could get myself through the more rural parts of Germany if I absolutely had to

[stiff ore]

yes econ flush

[atomic trout]

Dude, that's so smart.

Good luck on the House, Fish, and the WNDOW

The Water...

[zinc willow]

I've completely lost the vocabulary for it, I can speak some of it. I need to re-download the evil owl and brush up. Or play Rust on German servers, best way I've figured out how to learn languages honestly is gaming on alt language servers

[atomic trout]

Verdiant Leaf Debuffs your cards until you cut out a Joker.

Curlean Bell picks the wrong card.

[stiff ore]

do i swap photo or sock with baron?

[atomic trout]

Do you have Kings?

[stiff ore]

i guess i dont really have a ton of kings

[atomic trout]

Who was your final boss?

[stiff ore]

acorn

[atomic trout]

Needs more Kings, and shooot, flips them Jokers

I remember facing Amber Corn without realizing the flipping and hides your Jokers at the time. It can mess up a run.

[stiff ore]

eh even with it shuffled still got it in one

[atomic trout]

I lost to the damn boss a few times LOL

[vocal rose]

its one of the easiest boss blinds in the game

[zinc willow]

Has anyone bought thr premium balatro?

[vocal rose]

you can hold a joker while it shuffles

[acoustic kettle]

There's a premium balatro?

[atomic trout]

It is. When you can hold onto a Joker when it shuffles

[vocal rose]

yes

[atomic trout]

That trick works on the phone too XD

[vocal rose]

yep

[atomic trout]

Easier on mouse and keyboard

Those poor PS5 people, fight the Amber like a warrior

[stiff ore]

.......

[lyric shore]

eh they can still check with eternals

[zinc willow]

Its supposed to have like a few jokers and a new thing that mults chip amounts

[acoustic kettle]

There is another balatro?

Since when

[lyric shore]

do not buy that lmao

[atomic trout]

No, lol

If you want a virus, go for it

Malware? I'll take it

[tranquil cargo]

balatro has existed for thousands of years, but was recently made into a video game

[tropic umbra]

evil balatro

[stiff ore]

do i take TtM

[acoustic kettle]

Evilatro

[atomic trout]

There's others that copy the game haha

[acoustic kettle]

Balatro

Where is goolatro

[atomic trout]

Ballatro*

[lyric shore]

greedy does nothing so sure

[atomic trout]

Greedy Joker? It's an okay starter Joker

[lyric shore]

its ante 10

[atomic trout]

It's useless now

+3 Mult on a Flush is just a mere +15 Mult

[stiff ore]

yeahh i suppose its on average 18-24X16 multi

[atomic trout]

It's basically a worse Gross Michael

[tropic umbra]

3 = 15??

[atomic trout]

Wait. Unless you do Five a Flush?

[atomic trout]

When you Flush

[acoustic kettle]

Baron

[lyric shore]

no it has 0 impact on this run no matter what

[acoustic kettle]

Why flush baron

Flush baron down the drain

[atomic trout]

Because the player had Rough Gem, basically a Flush Econ

Based the Deck around diamonds.

[stiff ore]

yeah alright i swapped greedy for TtM

[tropic umbra]

oh you're talking about the sinful jokers

[atomic trout]

How was the Window btw?

[atomic trout]

Good. Good....

[atomic trout]

I didn't realize they were sinners, lol

[tropic umbra]

4 of the 7 deadly sins

[zinc willow]

Thats it

[acoustic kettle]

Wrathful greedy lusty

And something

Idk

[atomic trout]

I like the references though

[tropic umbra]

missing pride envy and sloth

[tropic umbra]

gluttonous

[atomic trout]

Smeared Joker becomes way too strong. Or so I thought.

[lyric shore]

thats not extra content

[zinc willow]

Huh guess I misread somthing

[lyric shore]

looks liek collector stuff

[acoustic kettle]

The players

[atomic trout]

The Tribe or the Order?

[stiff ore]

fuck well that was a fun run

[acoustic kettle]

Order

[atomic trout]

🫡

[atomic trout]

Straights are nice. With Shortcut and Four Fingers.

[acoustic kettle]

Tribe sucks

[atomic trout]

Needed more Flushes

[stiff ore]

yeah didnt run across many jupiters

[atomic trout]

Flush runs after Ante 8 is nearly impossible

I try to reach Ante 12

[wind jolt]

Just do checkered & get a negative bloodstone in every single shop, seems easy to me

[tropic umbra]

i got there, checkered deck, oops, double bloodstone

[atomic trout]

oh nice 😄

[atomic trout]

Ohhhh... I like you.

[stiff ore]

i was doing alright with the econ

[atomic trout]

That was a strong econ. I give you that.

[acoustic kettle]

Ew...

[atomic trout]

At least it does something

[wind jolt]

Don’t ew it
If it works it works

[atomic trout]

no. I take it back, it's really bad.

[tropic umbra]

what did i do

[acoustic kettle]

I guess bloodstone is just aj in checkered

[tropic umbra]

i had hack there too

and another one

let me grab the screenshot

[acoustic kettle]

Both 50/50

No difference

[tropic umbra]

not a screenshot

yeah this was it

but

[atomic trout]

But?

[tropic umbra]

don't ask where the quality went

[quartz ember]

you forget the fact that bloodstone doesnt hit

[tropic umbra]

i ate it

[acoustic kettle]

True

[atomic trout]

An when it doesn't hit, the red screen appears before you.

[acoustic kettle]

Could've gone further with a retrigger instead of tribe

[atomic trout]

The Tribe is nice, temporary

[tropic umbra]

run was months ago

[atomic trout]

I mean, x2 is nice but there's.. better

[acoustic kettle]

Tribe is such a fraud

[tropic umbra]

the switch that was on the battery did a thing

[acoustic kettle]

Just give me duo

[atomic trout]

The Tribe s good on Checkered Deck lol

[tropic umbra]

i have sought the pairs now

[acoustic kettle]

Duo still better

[atomic trout]

Four finger and Smeared Joker would just be killer with the Tribe

[icy hollow]

bloodstone mention?

[tropic umbra]

but it was my best run besides my aleeb run

[atomic trout]

Four Fingered Tribe?

[acoustic kettle]

Sucks

[atomic trout]

With a Blood stone?

[icy hollow]

even worse

[shell rock]

i won a straights run today that like never happens

[acoustic kettle]

Aj better

[atomic trout]

A Smeared Four Fingered Tribe with Bloodstone sounds God awful on Checkered Deck

They're gluttons too

[tropic umbra]

it's really not that bad

[acoustic kettle]

Smeared on checkered💔

[atomic trout]

It's.. haha, it doesn't work

[acoustic kettle]

Are we deadass

[icy hollow]

:clueless:

[acoustic kettle]

[shell rock]

what if you find a diamond card in your checkered deck huh

[atomic trout]

I just realized Smeared Joker only works on Spades and clubs and etc.

[icy hollow]

just makes the colors one suite

[atomic trout]

On Checkered it's basically useless LOL

[icy hollow]

yea

[atomic trout]

What are you smearing, no clubs? haha

[icy hollow]

becuase the colors are already one suite

[shell rock]

th

[atomic trout]

I'm such a dumbass. But it works on other Decks

[icy hollow]

can help aj still. to cover clubs/diamonds

but still kinda ridiculous

[shell rock]

i want to try a smeared + four fiingers straight flush run at some point, ive never gotten that combination ever

[atomic trout]

I like the fun fact, the Duo, the Trio, The Family, the Order, and the Tribe. They're community Jokers

[acoustic kettle]

Duo trio order the best ones

[atomic trout]

Hell yeah 😄

[acoustic kettle]

Family is alright

[shell rock]

duo trio the best ones

[atomic trout]

The Flush x2 is laughable

Scale like a man, Green Joker.

[acoustic kettle]

Duo downgrade

[tropic umbra]

slightly related but I sorta associate personalities with objects sometimes

[atomic trout]

Basically

[tropic umbra]

the family feels pretentious

[atomic trout]

Like some sort of gang?

[icy hollow]

it insists upon itself

[acoustic kettle]

Order is the best

[shell rock]

the family has high expectations just like irl

[acoustic kettle]

[atomic trout]

Holy. I like this.

[shell rock]

they always expect you to get that 4.0 of a kind

[tropic umbra]

like they're trying to be cool with their 4x mult with one of the most unbuildable types ever

[atomic trout]

So does the Order

[icy hollow]

4oak is not unbuildable at all lol

[atomic trout]

The Order, straights? Hehe

[shell rock]

well yeah but not in ante 2

[tropic umbra]

building for 4oak might as well just do 5oak

it's buildable

[shell rock]

which is always when i find it

[icy hollow]

4oak is my 2nd most used for gold stake (behind pair). i guess 3rd if you count random runs that dont rely on any specific hand

[icy hollow]

no

[tropic umbra]

but not reliable really at all

[shell rock]

good on erratic deck my beloved though

[acoustic kettle]

4oak is better than 5oak

[atomic trout]

I love the randomness of that Deck.

[icy hollow]

i would never really go 5oak over 4oak

[atomic trout]

I'm lost, what is this 4oak and 5oak?

[shell rock]

4 and 5 of a kind

[acoustic kettle]

Oak is of a kind

[atomic trout]

2oak?

[icy hollow]

1oak

[tropic umbra]

pear

[icy hollow]

12345oak 🗣️ 🔥 true straight build

[atomic trout]

1oak would be twig

It is Pluto, afterall

[acoustic kettle]

Soak
Suit of a kind

[shell rock]

i like the 1oak joker from cryptid

"The Filler": x1 mult if hand contains a High Card

[acoustic kettle]

Temperance valie

[shell rock]

misprint deck value

[atomic trout]

Is there a Joker that helps a High Card?

[shell rock]

mime and baron idk

[atomic trout]

I mean like, it doesn't have a DUO or Tribe

[quartz ember]

many jokers are good with hc

[icy hollow]

nothing that directly says high card really

only 6th sense

and dna

[shell rock]

6th sense, dna, burnt joker is implied

and stuff like supernova and ride the bus, but they're good with almost anything

[atomic trout]

I love high cards

[shell rock]

i like pairs

[atomic trout]

It's so underated

[tropic umbra]

everyone here is like balala professionals and then im just not

[shell rock]

and also two pairs and full houses

[acoustic kettle]

Who doesn't rate them

[atomic trout]

That explains a lot...

[shell rock]

supernova is lovely i didn't know how good it was until recently

[icy hollow]

🔥

pair or nothing 🗣️

[shell rock]

(two) pair or nothing

[atomic trout]

Does any one understand is that like per round? How does it keep score?

[acoustic kettle]

Per use

[icy hollow]

the planet stats is just how many times you used that planet card

[atomic trout]

Or the number times bought?

[tropic umbra]

how are you guys good

[acoustic kettle]

Used

[icy hollow]

the joker stats is how many rounds completed with that joker

[acoustic kettle]

Jokers are per rounds

[atomic trout]

Used? Holy

[quartz ember]

good in theory, by watching videos

[acoustic kettle]

I am not

[atomic trout]

That's a lot of 🍐

[acoustic kettle]

I am a plasmer only

[tropic umbra]

you sound like you know more than me

I am almost to plasma

[atomic trout]

Try Green Deck

[tropic umbra]

I unlocked it before

[acoustic kettle]

Fuck that deck

[acoustic kettle]

I'm just loud

[atomic trout]

I can't win Gold Stakes. lol

[shell rock]

hours and hours and days and weeks and months of nothing but practice

[tropic umbra]

that was on my switch

on my phone I have yet to beat it

[icy hollow]

idk. i just played pretty often and tried to learn from my mistakes that i made

[shell rock]

if i could see my balatro hours on mobile i would probably drop dead

[icy hollow]

and not rush through choices as often

actually consider your options as much as you can

[shell rock]

and ive won gold stake a whole 4 times

[tropic umbra]

i lost on violet vessel because I failed to draw a pair.

[acoustic kettle]

I have more hours in balatrocord than in balatro

[shell rock]

im sorry but thats a you problem how does that happen to someone

[tropic umbra]

so close

i got to 400k before the final hand

no didcards

one hand

[atomic trout]

I remember losing to Cerulean Bell after it picked the wrong Card

[tropic umbra]

not a pair in sifht

[icy hollow]

i have just under 400 hours on balatro on my phone apparently

[shell rock]

ok well that happens to everyone i think

[lyric shore]

yea you just lost to bell

[shell rock]

crimson heart is my least favorite type of loss

[acoustic kettle]

Nah

Vv

You just feel the doom

From the start of the ante

[shell rock]

crimson heart makes you feel like you have a good chance

[atomic trout]

The scariest moment in Balatro

That's an evil Needle

[shell rock]

and then, you watch as the rng gods tear your hopes of winning a run to shreds, right in front of you

[tropic umbra]

you know what's more evil

the eye thar I hate

[atomic trout]

Losing to the needle?

[shell rock]

the mouth but specifically when you have dna

[tropic umbra]

it's just needle with 2x blind size

[atomic trout]

The mouth needs a fist

Fuck That boss. The times I forget to read 😝

[lyric shore]

how do you not read the boss as soon as you can

[shell rock]

the mouth isn't that bad with most other builds, but with dna... man

[atomic trout]

Have you seen what language I have it on?

[tropic umbra]

the eye is evil

[icy hollow]

still fine with dna

u just dont copy a card for one round

thats not rly a big deal

[shell rock]

because balatro players lose the ability to read within 10 hours of downloading the game

[acoustic kettle]

Just

Uhh

[lyric shore]

you play on a language you cant read?

[acoustic kettle]

Memorise the icon

[atomic trout]

Read?

[atomic trout]

Read too. I accidentally DNA and Bam

[shell rock]

i wonder how many icons i know by memory actually

[atomic trout]

[shell rock]

stop

[tropic umbra]

ik all of them

[acoustic kettle]

That's uhh

[shell rock]

thats scary

[atomic trout]

The one with the line and circle

[acoustic kettle]

An irrelevant boss blind

Which does nothing

[atomic trout]

👁️

[tropic umbra]

hiss

[acoustic kettle]

into gotta be the easiest end

[shell rock]

just

chicot

[atomic trout]

The Plant dries up when I have 10s

[shell rock]

the plant hates my deck of 47 steel polychrome 9's

[atomic trout]

Does this happen to anyone?

[lyric shore]

22

[shell rock]

it is genuinely difficult to only score 22 points in a blind

[atomic trout]

It should have been an Achievement

[lyric shore]

why are you buying heiroglpyh in ante 1

[icy hollow]

tbh i think i know the finisher boss blinds by icons

[shell rock]

because funny

[icy hollow]

plant/needle

[atomic trout]

Why not

[icy hollow]

and that might be all

maybe water i could recognize 🤔

[shell rock]

i would prob recognize by colors

[lyric shore]

complete waste of $10 and -1 hand

[atomic trout]

🪡

[icy hollow]

i dont rly remember the bosses by name either ngl

[atomic trout]

But I did it for the laugh 😋

[icy hollow]

just a few of them

[atomic trout]

Losing to Ante 0

Local Should add this as a Trophy

[acoustic kettle]

Calculated

[atomic trout]

What was the lamest achievement, none of the completionist+++++

[lyric shore]

flushed

[atomic trout]

For me it was ROI

Buy Five Vouchers before reaching ANTE 4

[shell rock]

update i know all the boss blinds by memory except i almost forgot the hook

no one likes that one anyway

[icy hollow]

oh thats true. i know the hook by name

and the flint

[icy hollow]

yea, flushed was my last achievement to get lol

i got "you get what you get" and "flushed" in the same run

to finish off the achievements

[shell rock]

what is "you get what you get"

[icy hollow]

win a run without rerolling the shop

[shell rock]

oh i could do that one

[acoustic kettle]

I gold stickered abstract already as i just found out

[shell rock]

biggest hurdle would be memory

[icy hollow]

only really ROI, flushed, and you get what you get

are annoying imo

the rest you jsut get by playing the game naturally tbh

Speedrunner could be annoying too

but some jokers already require that for unlock condition so its like. youre doing it anyways for unlocking your collection. it just also gives an achievement

[lyric shore]

yea any achievement you wont get naturally is dumb imo

[icy hollow]

tbf i did get ROI naturally close to when i started but still yea

[lyric shore]

i wont play 5 wilds in 100 years

[quartz ember]

i could argue any achievement you do get naturally is dumb

unless its a secret unlock condition*

[acoustic kettle]

Omg gay grimbo

I'm so winning this

[final bough]

all rare lineup‼️‼️

[orchid comet]

damn

W

dna + bp is so fun to use

[final bough]

real

invis copied dna too

[prisma egret]

should i copy bootstraps or bull

[final bough]

78 steel king of spades

[orchid comet]

do you need to unlock mime

im asking for myself

is it something that's preunlocked and u just need to discover it or do u need to unlock it

[prisma egret]

you just need to discover it

[orchid comet]

alright

thanks

[manic talon]

if its page 8+ its an unlock

otherwise its just a discover

[tardy spade]

Ok do I buy balatro mobile?

[lilac meteor]

what are the chances i fumble this

[queen kindle]

painted deck black stake baby im slowly climbin

[lilac meteor]

I won!

Do I get rid of bs?

[latent egret]

fo score yes

no doubt

[lilac meteor]

what do i do

do i rid of blueprint

[smoky vessel]

just give me my pareidolia vro 😭

[silver mortar]

how this card works exactly?

Deducting sells values?

[lunar zealot]

egg gains 3 dollars of sell value at end of round

[silver mortar]

ah

[lunar zealot]

it sells for 2 dollars if you sell it immediately

next round it sells for 5

etc etc

[silver mortar]

ethernal egg

funny

well, I imagine there is a build for sell value

[lunar zealot]

eternal egg isn't useless but it is bad

[silver mortar]

I even have negative gift card, whatever

thanks

game is telling me something

[manic talon]

this is good

[lunar zealot]

What stake is this

[silver mortar]

I ignored egg, since I will have enough scaling for pirate anyways from card

[lunar zealot]

if it's low enough you might win outright

[silver mortar]

I will win anyways

but it's like 5th

or something

give or take one

XD

[tranquil steppe]

Best temperance

[silver mortar]

some money printing

[boreal hamlet]

What should I discard for brainstorm 2 pair build

[quartz ember]

smiley

or throwback I guess but its easy to get hand levels

[silver mortar]

1$ rerolls are interesting, when you have chance to get 50 gold now and then

Will this end up to 2.5?

what are stakes effects past purple?

[shadow spruce]

oh hey page 7 is fully stickered

[minor portal]

perishable jokers, expire after five rounds, rental jokers, only one dollar but takes three dollars at the end of every round

[silver mortar]

jesus

that's harsh but interesting

Good thing I'm not completionist

[minor portal]

Perishable jokers aren't that bad

inconvenient but not much else

[shadow spruce]

the only golden jokers that show up on gold stake are perishable rental/eternal rental it's pissing me off so bad

make yourself useful

[twin lantern]

Found this

Also

I need help please

This is type cast btw

[vale wharf]

Chat, which mod shows the value of the score you're going to get?

Idk what it's called

[quasi yew]

temperance value

good enough

[wary flicker]

not sure

tbh

I feel like its cheating in a way hah

[vale wharf]

How so?

You can still calculate it by yourself, but that takes time

[wary flicker]

fair, but I feel like thinking about how good your scoring is is part fo the game

maybe Im being too daft

chat

god

[vale wharf]

It's just a time saving feature

[wary flicker]

shame im playing a pair build

[graceful tangle]

there is no way i lose this golden needle run

[wary flicker]

lmfao

[graceful tangle]

ill still find a way to lose it tho

[wary flicker]

damn yh I just lost

supernova paired with bloodstone was stupid

[graceful tangle]

bloodstone did me bad the last few golden needle runs

i used to love that joker

LMAO GG

hahaha no fucking way

[wary flicker]

What a weird run lmfao

[quartz ember]

nice, just skip smart for bossblinds now

[graceful tangle]

yeeees sir

[graceful tangle]

rng blessed me good today

[obsidian patrol]

it felt great to sell the bp just to get the bean sticker

[graceful tangle]

hahah do i go for massive points or not

merry andy would be the safe way i guess but seltzer is so tempting

[twin lantern]

Pleaseeeeee can I get help?

[frank light]

with what?

[twin lantern]

Do I take sock? Who do I replace if so?

[frank light]

id say so

do you need reserved parking?

youll be making more than enough money with mime

[twin lantern]

I guess I’ll replace parking and I’ll keep mine

[frank light]

and with perkeo you can just get a devil card and print endlessly lol

or death etc.

[sand oak]

I need only erratic deck for gold stake all decks
Any tips? Never play it but I want to "rush it"

[frank light]

just keep resetting until you see a good deck

the rest is just up to you and your skill level

[soft vapor]

Balatrodle spoilers but 4 TRIES DAMN

[acoustic kettle]

A run of all time

Should i raised fist here actually

[regal sigil]

definitely

one of the runs

[manic talon]

Oh yea we are SO BACK

New streak incoming

[regal sigil]

why is it pink

[manic talon]

because

[regal sigil]

...

[quasi yew]

💅

[regal sigil]

you dont go for high scores i assume

[manic talon]

its a pretty good deck to do 3oak, but again, usually going for pairs work

[quasi yew]

WAIT A MINUTE

64.9k flushes?

[manic talon]

got a cryptid naneinf on my 2nd profile and never touched endless run again

[regal sigil]

yeah makes sense

endless makes the game pointless after a while

[lyric shore]

too many flushes

[acoustic kettle]

Hmm flushing doesn't seem to work with raised fist

[manic talon]

what

[acoustic kettle]

But that holo

Is tempting

[quasi yew]

oh my

[regal sigil]

i only plat flushes in the first few rounds

[quasi yew]

jupiter gourmet

[regal sigil]

its pretty boring

[tiny nexus]

Flushes biggest fan right here

[acoustic kettle]

Droll and crafty is holding together the build

[quasi yew]

spinning toilet gif

[acoustic kettle]

Oh damn

Constellation and burger in shop

What am i selling

How's my deck looking on #Balatro? Flush 5 is giving 1,010 chips times base 60-7 mult

Bluesky · Dec 22, 2025, 11:22 AM

[acoustic kettle]

Well kinda regret taking eternal droll but i had to live

[soft vapor]

Guys

It's time

[median summit]

o7

[molten thicket]

uhh

[manic talon]

softlocked

its over

[soft vapor]

It didn't hit bean

[mossy finch]

the needle is not that sharp

[pale wolf]

steam!

?*

[molten thicket]

steam 😔

[gloomy swallow]

absolutely cracked seed in casual lmfao

[pale wolf]

there's a program that fixes this, Lars made it

[gloomy swallow]

NAT negative baseball card and trib ante 2

with an ankh in ante 4

[cloud sinew]

"casual" 😭

[gloomy swallow]

I WAS PLAYING CASUALLY

WHEN I FOUND THIS

CASUALLY

I swear onh

ong

[pale wolf]

https://github.com/larswijn

One of these thingies

[quasi yew]

and only 2.4m chips with such setup?

[mossy finch]

i nailed it

[barren wigeon]

looks inside:

[mossy finch]

i will mark it as #2 in my synergy tear list

[barren wigeon]

...what's first

I cant think of any other synergy that takes an ass joker and makes it game winning

[lilac meteor]

hlep

[barren wigeon]

you cant take it unfortunately

should've ectoed

I mean, unless you wanna sell a BP or a mime

but that probably isnt metagaming

[signal lark]

is there a way to check if i have sock and buskin

[mossy finch]

chicot+mime+baron

[barren wigeon]

joker list

[willow frost]

just wait for now

get some cards and death them

[barren wigeon]

that's an active detriment when you get late game

[willow frost]

you dont need dna every time you see it lol

[barren wigeon]

Or endless rather

[mossy finch]

yeah

[barren wigeon]

dna is good for baron mime builds

[willow frost]

you dont need chicot just reroll

[lilac meteor]

i always skip, then I never find it

[barren wigeon]

yk, more cards in hand

[mossy finch]

scoring nan in every blind

[willow frost]

sure but not right now in this case lol

[mossy finch]

thats also true

[barren wigeon]

yeah chicot kinda sucks for high scoring baron runs

because you want the serpent

[willow frost]

nah youre good, this time will be different trust lol

[lilac meteor]

okay

[acoustic kettle]

9 hands

I am such a bad player

[barren wigeon]

eternal droll joker was a choice

[mossy finch]

it permanently provides +1 hand size if you "luckily" get 2 chicots

[acoustic kettle]

Had to live early game

[barren wigeon]

...so youd need to get 2 chicots

[barren wigeon]

fair enough

[acoustic kettle]

The droll really saved the run

[pale wolf]

why is it in quotes

[plain mirage]

i didn't know u could literally grab a joker while going into amber acorn to just hold it lol

[pale wolf]

@manic talon #offended

[pale wolf]

Yes, and if you have a joker selected with the buy and sell buttons active, you can also track where that one goes because the buttons stay

[willow frost]

that was the longest gap between messages ive seen in this chat

insane

[pale wolf]

some days it's very inactive

[hard silo]

i saw a 45 minute gap in this channel at one point

[vital pasture]

man i dont think im built for this game

i keep getting to ante 5 on the boss

and then losing on said boss

[quasi yew]

guys did i win

[barren wigeon]

no

[quasi yew]

but synergy :(

[barren wigeon]

you know who else has dementia?

you know who else has dementia?

[quasi yew]

drink some coffee

i dont remember what it does but ppl say it helps

[lilac meteor]

ssssooo

do i take it

[soft vapor]

I don't know if it's a well known glitch but because of cloud shenanigans you can get antimatter with only one blank

[quartz ember]

its not gonna make your run better

[quartz ember]

it is known

[soft vapor]

uhhhhh

ummmmmmm

Brokenlatro

[proper turtle]

you now need to actually buy it for it to get added in your collection

[hybrid cypress]

Literally my first winning game on mobile

[smoky vessel]

itsover

[thorn prairie]

is this one good

[zenith timber]

what do I sell?

[proper turtle]

yes

[pale wolf]

fun :p did you know that you can hold a joker right before acorn shuffles

[hybrid cypress]

I got chicot which disabled it

[pale wolf]

honestly I completely missed that, in which case your polychrome should be to the far right in front of dagger

I figured it was out of order because of shuffles

[hybrid cypress]

why

[pale wolf]

polychrome is a multiplier

[hybrid cypress]

I get it's to buff dagger but

[pale wolf]

You want to multiply after you add, not before

It's just good habit forming, not that it would specifically matter for that run

[hybrid cypress]

Oh

But then dagger would kill it

[pale wolf]

only if you forget when you enter the blind

[hybrid cypress]

Ah

[pale wolf]

It's not like daggers constantly killing, it only does it when you select blind

[hybrid cypress]

Thank you

[pale wolf]

[hybrid cypress]

[buoyant orbit]

would i be able to get cavendish again if i take this or nah?

[hybrid cypress]

Oh yeah

I got gros Michel twice

I don't know what that was about

it was in the shop and in the buffoon pack aswell

I just used the second one to feed dagger

[gloomy swallow]

Gold staked 7 jokers today! Would've been 9 if I didn't fumble badly...

104/150n

Current tierlist

[plain mirage]

normal generic balatro tier names

[gloomy swallow]

It's based on how much they helped in the runs where I won gold stakes

[plain mirage]

they're already 100% specific i think thats clear

[gloomy swallow]

I'd I hadn't fumbled a run today cardomancer and vampire would both be upped a tier

[wild jay]

Finally unlocked my first gold stake \o/

Man Orange stake rocked my shit I'm so glad I got this run today after like a month of attempts

[zenith timber]

tips?

[vague sequoia]
