[wintry ice]

what is bus at for that to even be a consideration

[left skiff]

I love this [Silly] Community :D

[woven spire]

I know that run was satisfying

[frank grove]

The blue stake change helps a little bit

[zenith spire]

23 not including holographic

[acoustic kettle]

The blue stake rework will help

[nova junco]

yeah other than that

[frank grove]

Like having an extra discard all the time will help a tiny bit

[woven spire]

blue stake re work?

[nova junco]

theyre barely reliable even in low stakes

[wintry ice]

idt you have enough 10s or 4s for that to be worth it

[nova junco]

yeah blue stake is not good thunk said he's gonna change it

[distant vault]

Blue stake rework: -1 hand

[untold onyx]

I think we should have one more hand size by default

[wintry ice]

also no offense but 23 at ante 6 is kinda bleak

[zenith spire]

yeah

[untold onyx]

Black deck found shot in alleyway

[nova junco]

golden needle

[distant vault]

New challenge: all jokers are rental

[nova junco]

oh no

[distant vault]

Who could do it

[calm furnace]

campfire 🔥

[distant vault]

Wait how about

[frank grove]

A single rebate kinda saves you for a quite a while

[distant vault]

All jokers are perishable

[wintry ice]

harder jokerless

[calm furnace]

oh hell nah

[untold onyx]

All joker are rental would be pretty balance with how many jokers can provide value before end of round

[distant vault]

That sounds fun actually

[wintry ice]

easier jokerless

[distant vault]

Playing with jokers is definitely easier jokerless

Yea

[untold onyx]

All jokers are eternal would probably be the hardest out of those 3 challenges

[distant vault]

Nah

[frank grove]

There already is one of those right?

[distant vault]

Hell no

[wintry ice]

that's already a challenge in vanilla

it's not bad

[untold onyx]

Oh right

[distant vault]

I think it would be perishable rental eternal

[frank grove]

And I genuinely don’t remember it so it can’t be that bad

[untold onyx]

That is

Dreadful

[wintry ice]

it's on white stake so

[frank grove]

Yeah

[wintry ice]

decision making doesn't change too much

[acoustic kettle]

Well typecast is only after ante 4

Maybe everything in shop should be eternal

[wintry ice]

there's a second one

[frank grove]

I want there to be challenge stakes that would be neat

[distant vault]

New stake: platinum stake

[acoustic kettle]

Custom challenges

Infinite content

[distant vault]

Shops have a 1 in 2 chance of not appearing

[untold onyx]

Gun sticker: kills the run if not purchased or taken when seen

[distant vault]

Madness:

[woven spire]

blue stake rework: make everything blueprint, nothing to copy

[untold onyx]

Blue stake rework: -2 discards, screw you.

[spring jungle]

Is it worth taking the dna when im 2e above

[distant vault]

If burglar appears anywhere money gets set to $0

[latent pecan]

yea dna is hand size

[spring jungle]

What do i switch it with?

[latent pecan]

when you have blueprint and brainstorm

[spring jungle]

Playing h card btw

[zenith spire]

I forget but bus doesn't trigger if it's debuff right?

[distant vault]

No

[latent pecan]

maybe driver's licence or photo, maybe photo

prolly photo

[spring jungle]

Thats what i was thinking

Thanks!

[wary zodiac]

hey folks

[nova junco]

I assume you're playing a red seal, if that's the case then you should sell the license, if not photograph i think

[spring jungle]

Sold the photo

[nova junco]

Today we're back for more gold stake balatro

[spring jungle]

Thank god i got a baron!

[zenith spire]

Holy shit yes I've finally beaten black deck on gold stake

think I did like 80+ runs probably a lot more than that

[untold onyx]

Gg

[calm furnace]

holy

[calm furnace]

yeah its normal that shit is hella ass

i have like 500+ gold wins only 2 on black

and it will forever remain 2

unless it gets a massive rework

[zenith spire]

Black deck is like kicking yourself in the balls

[spring jungle]

Is the spectral worth taking here?

[untold onyx]

We need doc to try to get the c++ streak again but only on black deck gold stake

[light dome]

Good job

[untold onyx]

Which should probably be outlawed as some level of torture

[calm furnace]

some people are into that but no normal human is into willingly playing black deck

black deck should be the counterpart to painted deck.+1 joker slot -2 handsize

it will still suck but be good for pair lobotomy

[zenith spire]

I did quit balatro for a bit cause I was raging against black deck. currently I'm trying to beat every deck to gold stake one at a time. I've beaten red, blue, yellow, green, and now black deck

[untold onyx]

I guess? The main issue with black deck is that it's upside only comes online in like ante 3 or 2 at best

[calm furnace]

for black deck you reroll for ante 1 riff raff and press R if tou dont

[untold onyx]

It should have no downside cuz you don't really have anything special for the first few antes

[frank grove]

gets a stuntman and then the boss is the psychic

[calm furnace]

there is almost no upside because you don’t need more than 3 jokers to beat gold stake

[zenith spire]

that and your economy is shafted in the early part with no upside until later

[calm furnace]

i lost a run like that with double stuntman 😭

[zenith spire]

Like I think black deck would be fine if they just added that like discards or hands give more money

[frank grove]

yeah i always forget about it and then im like oh yay double stunt on plasma lets go, ok f me then

[jagged ridge]

merry christmas!

uh

if it is christmas for yous that is

[calm furnace]

6 joker slots dont add much below ante 8

[untold onyx]

I'm on a hammock talking about Balatro in a nice windy Christmas eve

[calm furnace]

the upsides of black joker come from endless and even at endless it sucks

[untold onyx]

This isn't quite "the life" but it's pretty nice

[zenith spire]

yeah which is why like there should be an economy buff for black deck

[spring jungle]

Wtf do i sell

[untold onyx]

Parking?

[calm furnace]

parking

[spring jungle]

Thats my only income tho

But yea

[calm furnace]

no gold cards???

[fading token]

Copy the gold cards

[spring jungle]

No

[frank grove]

you're doing a ? baron mime run with no gold ?

[spring jungle]

Got no gold red seal

[ancient gyro]

this is far from true

[spring jungle]

Im new😅

This is my best run

[untold onyx]

I think they should start you with a default joker, that +4 mult ensures you can get all the value from your hands in the first ante at least

[calm furnace]

the only two runs i won with black had early riff raff

[frank grove]

probably try to find some gold cards, probably easier than getting value out of the parking

[calm furnace]

a single red seal gold card gets way more money than parking

[frank grove]

exactly

[calm furnace]

on average that is

[frank grove]

and they have dna

[ancient gyro]

success via anecdotes

[wary zodiac]

an early head allowed me to more freely deckfix towards hearts

[zenith spire]

Cash is king, more money you have the more you can get good jokers and get tarots to modify your deck

[spring jungle]

Was really close too dying but then i got baron so i just focused on surviving

[zenith spire]

Understandable was just giving a tip. Good job with the build

[spring jungle]

Appreciate it! Thanks for the help

[alpine halo]

I think I wanna do blue deck as my next gold stake

Seems really good

[frank grove]

what are yalls fav decks?

[untold onyx]

Painted I think

[zenith spire]

holy ngl beating black deck on gold stake for months to playing magic deck on white stake feels so weird. like it's so nice to have 3 discards. And yes I was only playing black deck for months

[calm furnace]

why 😭

[calm furnace]

painted ghost and checkered

[alpine halo]

Abandoned was my first gold stake but ghost is my fav

[frank grove]

i think mine is a tossup between abandoned and zodiac

[calm furnace]

ghost has the f r e a k

[zenith spire]

you can understand my pain, and why I had to quit for a while. My goal was to beat each deck one by one so I was stuck on gold stake black deck for a while

[untold onyx]

Do you also waterboard yourself for fun ?? Black deck gold stake is not fun by itself I can't imagine this was too great

[calm furnace]

i kept black deck for last both phone and pc

[alpine halo]

Zodiac is interesting

Notice how no body said nebula

[zenith spire]

triple major IRL in uni so maybe

[alpine halo]

Fuck nebula

[calm furnace]

nebula is anti fun

[frank grove]

ive done a couple black deck gold runs recently and its not as bad as i remembered but maybe i just got fairly lucky early game

[untold onyx]

Nebula Deck is ass give me my consumable slot

[calm furnace]

its the ultimate pairs only deck

no fun allowed

[frank grove]

i dont remember the last time i loaded up nebula

[alpine halo]

Exactly

My point exactly

Fuck nebula

[calm furnace]

its not a bad deck

its like groker

its anti fun

[frank grove]

yeah its weird how much -1 cons. slot makes the game worse

[tender quarry]

No one really knows how good nebula is because no one likes it enough to bother to find out

[calm furnace]

i cry when i see emperor

[lost vault]

who tf shortens consumable

[untold onyx]

Groker isn't anti fun, nebula would still suck if pair and HC spam was nerfed, groker still works as a resource management joker

[frank grove]

im lazy

[glad sequoia]

Getting emporor and high priestess feels bad on nebula deck

[calm furnace]

i think i have my highest WR on nebula but that’s because i rarely ever pick it

[frank grove]

my highest wr is on painted

[alpine halo]

Well yes it’s good but it’s not fun

[calm furnace]

yeah nebula has the weakest deck fixing potential

and deck fixing is fun

[frank grove]

if blue seals get nerfed then nebula kinda gets a buff in a way

[calm furnace]

blue seas dont need a nerf

just nerf mercury

[glad sequoia]

I hope blue seals don't get nerfed

[ancient gyro]

unlike nebula, grimbo is good and not fun disabling

[calm furnace]

grimbo is fun disabling

[uncut slate]

i don't get how you nerf mercury without making it just pluto

[calm furnace]

and nebula is not bad

[calm furnace]

nerf pluto as well

[shell dagger]

it’s below average

[calm furnace]

fuck meme baron

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[spring jungle]

Do i still buy this?😭 legit got no idea

[uncut slate]

what is pluto supposed to do then

[shell dagger]

+5 +1

fr

[glad sequoia]

Pluto +0 mult +1 singular chip 😂

[calm furnace]

• 5 chips only

[serene forge]

where is your econ

[spring jungle]

Nowhere

[shell dagger]

buy rebate

[serene forge]

how are you even alive

ngl

[spring jungle]

Ionno

Im lost

[uncut slate]

i was imagining some hypothetical change a while ago where planet cards go from played hand is -> played hand contains, and then severely weakening the bottom ones

[spring jungle]

Got a new best atleast

[uncut slate]

that way 4oak is never worse than pair and pair can be allowed to be worse

[ancient gyro]

its within the bottom 5

[spring jungle]

U think i should buy invis?

[uncut slate]

but i wouldn't know how to balance it well

[serene forge]

maybe

[calm furnace]

how does that work

[spring jungle]

Could sell mime snd hope to copy blueprint

[glad sequoia]

You should get it

[calm furnace]

did you copy gold cards?

[spring jungle]

Yea some

[spring jungle]

What do i sell

[uncut slate]

like if mercury was +10 chips to hands containing pair or something

[calm furnace]

you have the reroll voucher?

[spring jungle]

Dont think so

No i dont

[calm furnace]

f

[frank grove]

they dont have the money to reroll anyway

[glad sequoia]

Probably mime, if you can survive two rounds without it

[spring jungle]

😂😂

[calm furnace]

it’s looking bleak

[spring jungle]

Could be hard

Think im dead next round without it

Play only one hand

Yea i cant

😔

[glad sequoia]

Rip

[calm furnace]

pluto scaling +0 mult would be so peak it would kill most endless runs

[uncut slate]

yeah it really doesn't need mult for most ante 8 gameplay

i think within ante 8 context though the times where you get a level a billion high card with some glass and steel are really silly

[calm furnace]

ye you always wanna have a flat mult joker with HC

[uncut slate]

and it doesn't feel particularly degen

baron mime being broken in endless doesn't affect me really bc I don't play endless

[calm furnace]

pluto + 5 chips + 0 mult
mercury + 5 chips +1 mult
there you i fixed balatro

[frank grove]

i rarely play endless too i should do more endless runs

[ancient gyro]

nah

[uncut slate]

this makes them both kinda useless tbh

you gotta use so many mf cards to do anything that they'll be useless without a seal

[calm furnace]

nah still good with flat mult and chips joker

[frank grove]

yeah but if you also add more chips jokers then its not as bad

[ancient gyro]

on card x mult will be a dead option

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[glad sequoia]

Just sounds like less options to win which would make the game less fun

[untold onyx]

HC and pair can be useful like that with just being so reliable to play

[calm furnace]

pairs dont care about on score xMult tho

[uncut slate]

imo it should just be easier to play the bigger hands

[frank grove]

right now, mercury is like kinda too good

[calm furnace]

way to good

[latent pecan]

wtf do i copy here i need to live 🥹

[calm furnace]

-1 discard doesnt help

[untold onyx]

That's ok because irl mercury is the coolest planet in the solar system

[ancient gyro]

jokers that utilize x mult will, and glass. you're just limiting options in an unhealthy way

[uncut slate]

i don't think mercury is too good, it's just too easy to get

[calm furnace]

how will jokers that utilize xmult be weaker if mercury lost 10 chips?

[latent pecan]

2 kings will get discarded i think im just dead

[uncut slate]

mercury is kinda horrible unless you can spam it

[calm furnace]

its easy to spam

its easy to generate blue seals for

[uncut slate]

blue seal isn't in every run

[ancient gyro]

the other one

[calm furnace]

for pluto? yeah it will kill mime baron

which is healthy for the game

[ancient gyro]

that's not an ante 8 balance idea who tf cares about that specific niche

[uncut slate]

yeah i don't think pluto is too strong

[calm furnace]

its not

im just a hater

[glad sequoia]

Healthy for a single player game by making less options viable seems, weird

[ancient gyro]

pluto isn't strong for more reasons than it's mult so why target it

[frank grove]

its also not just blue seals, burnt joker, space and just plain planets in the shop are good enough for most runs right now. the concept that pairs give the same +chips per planet as a flush is a little odd

[calm furnace]

so mime baron endless dies

[uncut slate]

flush is in a weird spot because it's kinda boring

[ocean lily]

I think(THINK! Dont take my word for it, i have -7 skills in naninf/long endless runs) u should be copying barron with both, or maybe 1 copy on barron

[spring jungle]

Apparently

[calm furnace]

yeah add to that gold cards for better economy better parking value

[uncut slate]

even if the planet was good it's just hard to build around flush

[ancient gyro]

you can kill mine baron without touching ante 8 gameplay via other methods like serpent rework

[ocean lily]

There is an app that lets u check score before hand

[ancient gyro]

and other existing bugs

[calm furnace]

like everything goes in pairs favor

[uncut slate]

straight flush planet is good but the hand still sucks

[frank grove]

pairs are more spammable for scaling jokers

[glad sequoia]

And then both multiplicativel rares for both flush and pairs are the same. It's odd

[latent pecan]

i think i gotta do 1 mime and 1 baron

[calm furnace]

for xMult i get it

[latent pecan]

anyway im prolly dead

[calm furnace]

juptier starts ar +4 and its the easiest hand to deck fix for so flushes shouldn’t be rewarded

[ocean lily]

There is a balatro calculator

[latent pecan]

yea i died

[ocean lily]

U can google it, its 1st link

[frank grove]

tbf there are more jokers that play into flushes for x mult like aj and bloodstone but yeah still a little weird

[ocean lily]

O7

[latent pecan]

i tried to set it up once and i gave up after 5 mins i dont really need it since i dont usually go for endless

[calm furnace]

flushes benefit from on score effect so the tribe being 2x is fine

but why is pair getting as much chips as jupiter

[uncut slate]

i think flushes are in a fine spot as a hand you play to get 5 scoring cards rather than anything else

[calm furnace]

yeah and tribe is fine too

[ancient gyro]

chips isn't much of a concern for flushes. initial chip amount from scored cards isn't much

[calm furnace]

but as someone above pointed its absurd that jupiter and mercury scale the same chips eise

[uncut slate]

you can play 5 bonus cards

[frank grove]

you can play 3 stone with pair, whats your point?

[ancient gyro]

i still like to suggest the -1 hand, +1 discard blue stake rework to be in play for the speculative meta shift

[uncut slate]

-1 hand just doesn't sound good for anything

[calm furnace]

that kills econ and fun

everything is black deck now

[ancient gyro]

with other tweaks

[uncut slate]

makes it harder to make pairs if you have a ton of stone...

[glad sequoia]

Gold stake black deck 2 hands 😭 kill me now

[uncut slate]

flush doesn't have that problem

[ancient gyro]

black deck would be reworked to -1 discard

red stake would yield 1 dollar small blind cash out

[calm furnace]

so it will still be 3 hands 2 discards

so still ass

[ancient gyro]

3 discards*

[shell dagger]

3 discards

counting is hard

[ancient gyro]

erm what's 2 plus 1

[calm furnace]

1

[shell dagger]

6…7?

[ancient gyro]

21

u stupid

no I'm not

[calm furnace]

thats 2x1

[shell dagger]

nam nat

[calm furnace]

blue stake rework any joker you see and you dont buy gets banished from the run

[glad sequoia]

Would in some ways make runs easier. Although seeing great perishables would hurt. Scaling jokers like red card and hologram can't be perishable though so I think all in all would make runs easier

[uncut slate]

-1 hand +1 discard enthusiasts when the water:

[ancient gyro]

oh no one boss blind

[distant vault]

Damn

[glad sequoia]

At least you get a blue seal

[uncut slate]

you're proposing a baby version of golden needle which everybody hates

[distant vault]

Pennywise speaking facts

DAMN

[ancient gyro]

I've played enough black deck and overall streaks rotating and single decks to figure this one out with other changes

[distant vault]

New boss blind - The Air: Start round with 0 hands

[calm furnace]

they’re proposing forcing the most hated effect (-1 hands) on all decks

[distant vault]

Am I cooking

[ancient gyro]

the initial idea was +2 discards but syn said it'd be too broken

[calm furnace]

you got choas you won

[distant vault]

Im on to something aren't i

[calm furnace]

someone made the math, chaos ends up saving insane amounts of money on the long term

[distant vault]

Watch it die

[calm furnace]

yeah its not rental it will die

michel is 2/1 to die 1/10000000 to die if perishable or rental

[ancient gyro]

ight

[calm furnace]

negative midas looks cursed 😭

[ancient gyro]

blackface

midos

i like midos

[grizzled yew]

Where are my cards

[ancient gyro]

cropped out

[grizzled yew]

no

Not there

[calm furnace]

so we have midas and madness both doing black face when negative

[glad sequoia]

Skip arcana pack into double hanged man

[grizzled yew]

I didn’t use anything I just skipped small blind

[ancient gyro]

that's not how that works

[grizzled yew]

And wouldn’t that be destroying 4

[wintry ice]

midas more like mid ass or something idk

[glad sequoia]

True 8-4=4

[grizzled yew]

It just gave me three

I’m so confused

[ancient gyro]

mid ass couldn't idol proof my black deck run it needs a buff 💔

[glad sequoia]

That's weird

[grizzled yew]

I discarded and it gave me three again

I made a new run and it happened again

What I do

[frank grove]

It’s a steam modded bug I think?

[grizzled yew]

I don’t have any on

[frank grove]

At least that’s what I’ve heard before when people have come in here with that problem

[dire gazelle]

hey guys, is it normal that i feel like i always have similar runs? also i struggle to win, do u have few tips? i've won 3 runs so far

[wintry ice]

do you always go for a similar setup

[dire gazelle]

idk, i don't feel like it but maybe

[wintry ice]

well one thing would be to take the best that's currently available and to save your money for interest if you don't see anything worth buying

[dire gazelle]

that's what i do but i get some builds that are fine early but struggling at 70k

[signal frigate]

What are your usual setups?

[glad sequoia]

Especially when you have glass joker

[lost vault]

balatro players*

[spark kernel]

Why is purple stake really difficult

[lunar zealot]

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

d morning

[lunar zealot]

score requirement

<@&1133519078540185692> crush his skull

thank you

[spark kernel]

And i thought green stake was bad

[ancient gyro]

mery crismasu

[lunar zealot]

Violet vessel is 1.2 million chips

[shadow spruce]

3 new stickers at the same time oh my god

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[spark kernel]

Cant even get to ante 8 in purple stake

[serene forge]

@ancient gyro NO

[lavish ridge]

I've concluded that loyalty card is worse than seance thus making it the worst joker in the game.

[serene forge]

@hybrid tendon

[hybrid tendon]

I LOVE YOU TOOOOO

[shadow spruce]

wait till you find out about burglar

[lavish ridge]

i know about it

[serene forge]

YAYYYYYYYY

[dire gazelle]

it's always like going for a deck full of one color or something like that

[signal frigate]

So, you're flushing

Try to build towards one particular joker this time

[ancient gyro]

so like this for example

damn

[signal frigate]

Like, if you find a constellation

Focus on scaling that up by buying EVERY planets you see

[dire gazelle]

yeah kinda but i know it's not very good

[signal frigate]

Or if you have a Pair of Pants

Go full two pair mode

[ancient gyro]

let's not promote vagabond behavior

[signal frigate]

If you find either a shoot the moon or Baron, play high card and fill your deck with either kings or queens, whatever you have

[ancient gyro]

but yeah

[signal frigate]

Hey, Vagabond is a good joker

There's also campfire which is great

[ancient gyro]

if you find baron, no you didnt

[ancient gyro]

vagar with no vagar

[signal frigate]

Just grab a riff raff and feed it infinitely

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[signal frigate]

One good +mult and a good econ, you can super power charge Campfire

I prefer to just grab a gift card along with me for a while so I can get temp value

[shadow spruce]

@crystal field i'm sooo close

[signal frigate]

Then I can sell my econ joker to feed Campfire even more

[signal frigate]

That's red

[shadow spruce]

what about it

[signal frigate]

It's supposed to be blue

That means you may have messed up that profile

[ancient gyro]

unlocked all

[shadow spruce]

i had the bright idea of loading mods on it one time

i suppose the save just never got unfucked

[signal frigate]

Yeah I assume that

[dire gazelle]

i found baron and did a good run, ty i'll try your tips now

[signal frigate]

Because if it was unlocked all, it should've already been 100%

[ancient gyro]

for joker stickers?

[shadow spruce]

on my phone it is

what's the color change meant to signify

[hybrid tendon]

[signal frigate]

That means you fucked up the profile in some way

[serene forge]

[shadow spruce]

not good!

i already went into the .jkr file and manually edited out all the mod residue so i don't know what else the game wants from me

[signal frigate]

If it's Blue, you're fine

If it's red, you done fucked up

[signal frigate]

It's not that big of a deal if it's with mods but it'll stay there to remind you

[shadow spruce]

this is what you get for installing steamodded 😈

[gusty sage]

steam wont let me buy the game

i already have it on switch steam please let me give mr thought more money i wanna play pvp ahhhhhhh

[unborn cliff]

señorita pregunta

[gusty sage]

si

[unborn cliff]

distantaction

[alpine halo]

third gold stake is done

yellow deck is pretty fun

i think i wanna try nebula next

[unborn cliff]

save nebula for later

its pretty hard

what decks have you done so far

[alpine halo]

thats why i wanna get it out the way though

so far ive done them in this order, abandoned, ghost, yellow

ghost was really fun

ankhing it

[unborn cliff]

abandoned is a good one to do early

probably go for magic deck then nebula

[alpine halo]

isnt magic the tarotmaxxing one

start with ball and 2 fools

[unborn cliff]

yeah

[alpine halo]

i already started a white stake on nebula so i'll see if i can finish this run out then i'll do magic

i think i already did red stake on magic

[unborn cliff]

go for it champ

something something believe in yourself

[alpine halo]

i suppose

[eternal pumice]

[unborn cliff]

i agree

[alpine halo]

i feel like i get a lot of black holes

are they not actually that rare

[unborn cliff]

nope they're just as arare as soul

[gusty sage]

yo why did the fire emote just nut

[unborn cliff]

for some reason

[alpine halo]

i never get souls

like really rarely

lmao

[unborn cliff]

i was in a soul drought for a good month once

[alpine halo]

real

repost

jamie CAN beat gold stake

youre welcome

[unborn cliff]

are my stats good guys 🥹

[alpine halo]

what the fuck

[unborn cliff]

whats up

[alpine halo]

ten thousand perkeo rounds

i wish i got perkeo that often

lmao

[gusty sage]

i was playing on switch one time and bc the buttons are so goddamn small i sold perkeo instead of moving it over and then i immediately lost the run

[unborn cliff]

its 10.560 actually

so about 11

[untold onyx]

Ye olde Nan e inf player

[alpine halo]

is your top voucher observatory

[unborn cliff]

pretty sure its overstock

[alpine halo]

technically itd have to be telescope above observatory

[unborn cliff]

reopening the game to find out

this is also my brainstorm save file

[alpine halo]

you cant have observatory without telescope

[alpine halo]

ohhhhh

okay that makes a lot of sense

[unborn cliff]

yawn!

[distant vault]

Hello

[pale wolf]

ok time for Red DECK RUN!!!

[distant vault]

[pale wolf]

holy fuck

[untold onyx]

RUN, RUN JIMBO IS BEHIND YOU

Oh god he's here

[pale wolf]

welp

[untold onyx]

Groke it

[distant vault]

Red deck sad

[pale wolf]

no rental square for me

i won't fall for it anymore

[distant vault]

🙏

[pale wolf]

rtb wouldve been more fun

[distant vault]

Damn

F u green joker

[pale wolf]

i got rental rebate its okay now

you can rebate and groker

[silk hull]

how it feels to move past being a flush addict

[shadow spruce]

oh! don't look!

[distant vault]

We'll go through this together

[signal frigate]

You fixed it

[silk hull]

I wish playing larger hands felt better

[distant vault]

Yup

[shadow spruce]

i had to remove a ton of modded shit in meta.jkr but yeah

[distant vault]

Pairs too strong

Well no

Dont nerf pairs

Buff larger hands !!!

[silk hull]

Idrk what you could do because I can't think of any way that wouldn't be too strong I think

[distant vault]

Yeah im not a game designer

But I find no incentive to play large hands

[shadow spruce]

the blue stake rework will hopefully make larger hands more than just a second thought on gold stake

hopefully

[silk hull]

Maybe

[pale wolf]

holy

[gusty sage]

what fuckingf seed

[distant vault]

Rip swashbuckler

Bystander

He didn't want this

[sinful plaza]

Well it's a challenge so

[shadow spruce]

it gives you the seed when you win/lose

[gusty sage]

yea i just noticed the deck in the corner

[shadow spruce]

is it mad world

[sinful plaza]

yes

[gusty sage]

no ik i meant after

[shadow spruce]

all around me are familar faaaces

[gusty sage]

worn out places

[sinful plaza]

very mad world with no face cards

no interest

no extra hands money

[silk hull]

I don't even care about the content I just need the damn blue stake rework

[shadow spruce]

hey at least it isn't old gold stake where it was -1 hand size

[pale wolf]

#sad

[shadow spruce]

larger hands were even more of a second thought then

[silk hull]

There was a beta orange stake that made pack cost scale too wasnt there

[shadow spruce]

yeah

[pale wolf]

magic trick should 100% give enhanced cards by default

it would be like marginally more useful

[tepid skiff]

what would the 2nd one be than?

[pale wolf]

seals and editions

[gusty sage]

jesus fucking christ

[sinful plaza]

C2PPUX4E

I won

[pale wolf]

the light

[gusty sage]

the goat oat

[sinful plaza]

It has PP

😜😜😜

[pale wolf]

between blue seal and spaceman i gained more levels that blind than i lost

oh, uh it was arm

I forgot it wasn't in the screenshot

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 3

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 3

[brazen island]

How do you figure out the %increase to your score that acrobat gives you? Like if I have 4 hands, how much is that increasing my score if each hand scores roughly the same in a pair build?

Is it like 80% or smth?

[pale wolf]

hey I just thought of something, does space Jokers position matter?

it must right?

[pale wolf]

the last one is 3x so

[brazen island]

Yes if you place it in your third joker slot on a waning moon and bathe it in a solution of silver and pigs blood it goes from a 1 in 4 to a 1 in 3

[hybrid tendon]

4 hands it would be about 150% if it's the only xmult and last on the joker order

[pale wolf]

its 2 extra hands essentially

[brazen island]

Ok but let’s say I’m scoring 10,000 points per hand

[hybrid tendon]

yeah

[pale wolf]

whatever you would have scored, add two more hands worth

[brazen island]

That should bring my end score from 40,000 to 60,000

[hybrid tendon]

yeah

that's 150%

[brazen island]

What’s that as a %

Is it fr

[hybrid tendon]

yes

[pale wolf]

😭

its 1.5x

[brazen island]

I’m dumb I thought 150% would be 100,000

[hybrid tendon]

40k is 100% 50% of 40k is 20k, so 60k is 150%

[brazen island]

Because… 100% would be 40,000… and 50% is 20,000…

[hybrid tendon]

+50% but 150% in total compared to the other

[brazen island]

Dang ok thank you math bug

[distant vault]

Damn

[pale wolf]

where do you go from this to 100k

[mortal nimbus]

100,000 is +150% from the original, for 250% total

[hybrid tendon]

they do +150% basically calculatin 250%

[brazen island]

Ok so normally my score would be 40,000… so + 100% + 50% of that would be 100k 😭

[hybrid tendon]

yeah

[pale wolf]

ooh

[brazen island]

This is why I’m glad math doesn’t matter in Balatro and is purely based on vibes

[pale wolf]

its uhh

relative

[brazen island]

It’s weird

[gusty sage]

wait i have a question

[brazen island]

Not anymore I’m gonna take it away from you

[gusty sage]

if u have drivers licsense and vampire does vampire take away the DL mult?

[brazen island]

I will rob you of your question

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[hybrid tendon]

yes

[brazen island]

Yes if you go below 13 enhanced cards

[gusty sage]

wait fr?

[hybrid tendon]

yes

cos it removes enhancements

[brazen island]

If you lose your enhancements in anyway it deactivates

[gusty sage]

damn i didnt know that

[brazen island]

Removing cards, vampire, etc

You have to stay above the threshold

[gusty sage]

i thought it was every enhancement added- kinda like how hologram mult stays the same even if u hang the cards

[shell dagger]

13 year olds cant drive

[dreamy creek]

balalala

[dreamy creek]

says who

[brazen island]

Nah pay careful attention to the wording: “if at least 13 enhanced cards are in your deck” (well it’s very similar yk)

[gusty sage]

so true bestie!

[shell dagger]

Jen joker

[dreamy creek]

[brazen island]

I’d beg to differ, put some keys and beers in these kids hands ASAP‼️‼️

[dreamy creek]

[lost vault]

[latent pecan]

you instantly win if you take the ancient joker but i dont think it's that bad to take blueprint and sock in white stake tho

it's hard to lose white stake runs

[lost vault]

do they LITERALLY only play endless

[shell rock]

yes

[heavy heron]

flush steel 😍

i literally only got flushes from blue seals

that’s it

i didn’t found one jupiter in a pack in 7 antes not 1 thats not an exaggeration

[pale wolf]

The seed is full of beauty

[distant vault]

Anticipating the ++ in the name

[shadow spruce]

cloud 9

[unreal iron]

those are easy as fuck

[shadow spruce]

they are

they're just getting really hard to find

[unreal iron]

i can see the struggle behind stone joker and flower pot

[unreal iron]

i mean ive been getting nothing but perishable rental AJs on my 2nd c++

it was like during the 130s or 140s when i got it stickered

fucking sucked

[pale wolf]

i stickered stone joker in my c+, Not even when I was specifically trying to sticker things

[distant vault]

I despise banner

[lost vault]

60 chips!!

[shadow spruce]

look at the city slicker pulling up in his fancy german Stone Joker

[pale wolf]

You skipped and got rewarded with something that's actually usable

so sad 🤪

[lost vault]

wait genuinely

why poly skip on mf ghost deck

[distant vault]

To spice it up

[lost vault]

and not sell hex

[distant vault]

Thats it

[lost vault]

i mean

cant argue that lmfao

[unreal iron]

polychrome skipping on ghost is another form of crazy

good on you ricky

[distant vault]

I've won some of them

[unreal iron]

BUUUUT

poly banner is usable

[distant vault]

Im fucking dead

8ball:

[unreal iron]

[nova mantle]

Spread the jolly spirit

[lunar zealot]

oh...

[unreal iron]

not to say satellite is bad i personally find it to be a decent enough econ joker

[pale wolf]

how many tarot packs do u need to open to scale cloud 9 to $9

then compare to how many planet packs for satellite

It's actually fairly similar

[unreal iron]

thats SO TRUE

[nova mantle]

Ragebaiting so hard 😭 everybody knows the best is delgrat

[lunar zealot]

We joke but satellite is an uncommon j

[unreal iron]

"with merry andy theres potential of up to 10$!"

like shut up

[unreal iron]

bbc upscale

[lunar zealot]

We joke but merry andy is an uncom

[shadow spruce]

the best econ joker is oops all 6's

[unreal iron]

another x1.5 to the roster

[shadow spruce]

yummy $20 hits

[pale wolf]

satellite sucks because it's an economy Joker that you can't take with a rental tag without specific circumstances

[lunar zealot]

We joke but oops is an u

[shadow spruce]

we

[unreal iron]

we ?

[nova mantle]

Potentially 50 if you farmed temperance value

[unreal iron]

[lunar zealot]

[nova mantle]

Best use case for midtellite

[lunar zealot]

We joke but satellite is

[unreal iron]

uncommon

[ancient gyro]

decent

[distant vault]

Satellite is one of the jokers of all time

[lunar zealot]

No it's bad

but it's uncommon

[ancient gyro]

which makes it decent 👅

[lunar zealot]

Satellite works best if you already have another econ joker

[unreal iron]

are most econ jokers bad because rebate exists?

YES.

100% yes

[distant vault]

Golden

[lunar zealot]

Pretty fast scaling secondary econ

[shadow spruce]

I’m super rusty w/ Balatro and am picking it back up. I keep catching myself with Riff-raff and then never committing to anything.

Deck is still default. What should I aim for here?

[serene forge]

science would advance greatly from studying the brains of r/balatro users

[unreal iron]

OBELISK RAHHH

take ove

obe

kill fortune teller tho

[distant vault]

Damn

[unreal iron]

then credit card maybe

[serene forge]

i would fix your econ but sell summit/fortune and pick up obelisk

[distant vault]

And then banana dies

[unreal iron]

xmult to the right 🙏

[main prism]

I think I always avoid obelisk because I basically end up flush and flush five maxxing every good run. I’ve never put work into mixing it up

[lunar zealot]

Never go credit card long term btw

[unreal iron]

mix it up then

[hard silo]

insanity is doing the same thing over and over again

[unreal iron]

sometimes a straight run blesses you from the pair lobotomy spam

I hate Credit Card

[unreal iron]

no, your line is supposed to be "i hate bloodstone"
