[calm furnace]

its still decent but i usually find myself preferring to have enhanced cards

not really because if you are playing to win you gonna play pairs and bloated deck doesnt affect pair builds

[heady narwhal]

it does, just not as drastically as other builds

if you add 4 bad cards to your deck you're less likely to be able to dig for your gold cards and blue seals

[calm furnace]

i just had a run and the only downside to hologram was that i had to sell my rebate because i couldnt discard for econ

but the insane scaling is worth it

despite the bloat i was able to get mercury to level 30 with mostly blue seals

hologram bloat is still more managable than groker and no discard builds

[heady narwhal]

i do think hologram is very powerful. but i wouldn't be sure it's more powerful than 0.2x vampire was

[desert niche]

ROCK POG

hey wait youre a furry

[heady narwhal]

it's also a little hard to nerf because changing it to 0.2x per is pretty minor and changing it to 0.1x per would completely murder it

[calm furnace]

if vampire is at 0.2x i would still pick hologram over it 99% of the time given the choice

[desert niche]

holgorgram ruins deckbuilding tho

[calm furnace]

not sucking played cards is imo the bigger nerf

[spice glen]

fuck this game

[calm furnace]

pairs dont need deck building

[spice glen]

last time I’m going for two pairs

[calm furnace]

and at 0.25x per card you dont have to buy every card

you can just buy kings or aces and do a venus or a mars build

[desert niche]

for that you need to get pairs, which also doesnt happen often

[desert niche]

thats true

[calm furnace]

huh?

[heady narwhal]

3 +mult jokers gaming

[desert niche]

i wasnt saying hologram is bad, just that it has a doenside

[calm furnace]

pairs are almost guaranteed

[spice glen]

it was either that or a second golden joker

[desert niche]

i meant getting pairs leveled up

getting a build that works with pairs

[calm furnace]

but that applies to all hands

[heady narwhal]

that's incredibly easy

[calm furnace]

unless you get telescope

[heady narwhal]

99% of gold stake builds work with pairs

[calm furnace]

also can just get chip joker and flat mult and ignore planet scaling

[heady narwhal]

get a single +mult scaler and you're golden

[calm furnace]

the only time i wouldnt pick hologram is when im doing a straight build

[desert niche]

ive not really have had the opportunity to get pairs working in my last few runs

[calm furnace]

heck i take hologram and erosion together

especially on ghost deck

[heady narwhal]

with straights i'd assume it would be fine as long as you only pick middle ranks

[desert niche]

with my luck i wouldnt

honestly

[calm furnace]

still with the -1 discard i wanna thin my deck as much as i could

[wintry ice]

what

[desert niche]

get pairs upgraded

[wintry ice]

this is more than statistically incorrect

[calm furnace]

but the beauty of pairs is that you dont have to scale mercury for it to work if you have the right joker setup

[desert niche]

if

[wintry ice]

they're one of the easiest hands to use with purple and blue seals and gold cards

[desert niche]

you need a good +mult, xmult and chips

[calm furnace]

thats not a big if because flat mult is plenty at common

[wintry ice]

that's a very common setup

[desert niche]

and a lot require specific hands

[heady narwhal]

this is like 4x as easy as getting other handtypes upgraded anyways

• easy to get telescope on pairs
• easy to hold blue seals in hand
• easy to burnt joker
• easy to space joker multiple times

[desert niche]

its the setup you should go for

[wintry ice]

the whole reason why you play pairs is that it's the best hand for a good amount of jokers

[calm furnace]

pretty much

[desert niche]

but i havent gotten that setup for so long

[desert niche]

and for that you need any of those

[heady narwhal]

any of those 4 setups?

you should look in more standard packs then

[wintry ice]

you should be less picky about jokers

[heady narwhal]

standard packs have a 1 in 7 chance to give you a blue seal every time

[wintry ice]

etc

[calm furnace]

groker, supernova, square, runner, red card, bus

these are all common jokers

and work with pairs

[heady narwhal]

i don't like supernova

[wintry ice]

it also works well with steel but that's more secondary

[heady narwhal]

stm as well i think

[calm furnace]

for pair builds its probably my fav common that scales with hands

only downside is no repeat hands boss and that it doesnt work with obelisk

[heady narwhal]

i think bus and grimbo are way better. very difficult to underscore with supernova and actually scale it

[wintry ice]

it's a bigger downside than the other jokers mentioned

[calm furnace]

i dont see how groker is better than nova tbh

being able to discard with nova makes it better than groker imo

[heady narwhal]

if i win in 2 pairs i scale supernova 2 mult per round. with grimbo or bus i can play some highcards and scale 4 mult

[wintry ice]

-1 mult is marginal when you have it at +30

[heady narwhal]

supernova is also vulnerable to eye, ox, etc

and you can't use it with obelisk

[calm furnace]

imo nova downsides are less annoying than groker

i take the less potential mult of nova, given how easier it is to discard for blue seals

just checked lol nova is my most used +mult card

[nova mantle]

win with only 3 jokers

[calm furnace]

test

[nova mantle]

and 2 gold stickers too

[calm furnace]

both mobile and pc its my most used kek

[ancient gyro]

more often than hc yeah, more x mult options long term

[glad sequoia]

Lol, got both perkeo and observatory on this run

[ancient gyro]

novas downsides are dying to boss blinds and anti synergy with jokers and hitting the wrong hand

grimbos downsides are

[calm furnace]

what anti synergy aside from obelisk?

[ancient gyro]

2 antes of cringe gameplay

[ancient gyro]

eye

5 card hands

[calm furnace]

eye is not a joker?

[ancient gyro]

please read what I say next time

[calm furnace]

" and anti synergy with jokers "

[ancient gyro]

before that

[calm furnace]

i asked which joker other than obelisk

you replied eye

[ancient gyro]

any 5 card enabler

[calm furnace]

but yeah eye kills nova 100% of the time

[vague sequoia]

Is it the best joker

[ancient gyro]

scores too fast via base chips and results in slower scaling

[heady narwhal]

photograph

[calm furnace]

eye also kills groker if you count on mercury for chips

[ancient gyro]

any x mult source before flat mult on joker scoring

[heady narwhal]

well yeah but at least you have a chance

[ancient gyro]

it doesn't have to, you have an out

[heady narwhal]

you can probably play a straight or a flush or something, or find a common chips joker, or ....

[ancient gyro]

nova can also be perishable

and is not hand agnostic

which is a huge problem on harder decks

if the priority is for streaks or whatever

if

[ancient gyro]

win streak profile 💔

with slight bias

[heady narwhal]

is stm good for win streaks?

[ancient gyro]

only if you're not relying on it

if that makes sense

generally no

[sudden river]

to anyone wondering if double credit card does anything

[ancient gyro]

it's not consistent enough for obvious reasons

[lost vault]

ah, so you can get yourself into deeper shit, very cool

[sudden river]

the challenge deck is hand size is inversely proportional to money

[ancient gyro]

it can make for a unique naneinf method

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[ocean lily]

.-.

[sudden river]

unimpressive draw but a demonstration of hand size

[glad sequoia]

It's so big

[sudden river]

screenshotting now because I'm worried the next hand will win

[serene forge]

i love hrt

[sudden river]

it did not

[glad sequoia]

Especially on abandoned deck

[dark cairn]

love how every time perkeo spawns in one of my runs i die to something stupid

"yeah lets give him the legendary joker that duplicates consumables and then give him only the worst consumables in the game"

[glad sequoia]

Every time I get perkeo in a run it becomes my econ joker usually lol

[pale wolf]

if you're afraid you're going to win shouldn't you move the steel to the left

[dark cairn]

hermit and temperance does not exist after perkeo appears

[pale wolf]

and not copy shoot the Moon

[sudden river]

I'm also trying to not lose but I'm screenshotting to demonstrate the hand full of queens on this challenge deck

[glad sequoia]

True lol. At worse you get $4 for selling any negative consumable

[lost vault]

i hate Waterstone

[heady narwhal]

which of these jokers should i take?

[ocean lily]

would the 2pair be enough here, im feeling realy gready

[heady narwhal]

i want to do both but i'm not sure

i think i'll just take bloker and hope for the best

[ocean lily]

honestly, neither since they are both meh and eternal, but if u realy have/want to shoot the moon is better i belive

dont quote me though

[heady narwhal]

blue joker is very good i think

[serene forge]

that's fine

[heady narwhal]

maybe the single best nonscaling +chips

wait stuntman exists

maybe the second best nonscaling +chips

[serene forge]

perkeo is a golden joker in the absolute worst case scenario

[serene forge]

both ngl

[heady narwhal]

too late ... unless ?

idk how to work with htr + stm

[serene forge]

hmmmmmm

I love hrt

[heady narwhal]

i love blackboard

i have a lot of real jokers but i think this run is still dying in ante 4

[ocean lily]

do i take invis, only one that seems worth replacing is abstrackt, or maybe golden ticket since i only have a single gold 2(its red seal though)

[heady narwhal]

shit

i guess it's just a pairs build?

[ocean lily]

dead chat ):

[ocean lily]

since its taking too long ima just skip):

run died anyways

[shell rock]

balatrodle in 2

[safe venture]

I'm so ass

It's so over

[humble gulch]

I'm not taking that

[heady narwhal]

black deck is actually so easy (when you get riff raff)

[royal ore]

do i gamble for runner

[heady narwhal]

i'd go with the holographic turtle bean here

blue joker is also an option but shortcut should cover your chips

[humble gulch]

For some reason I get antimatter so easily in black deck runs

[pale wolf]

BUH!

[distant vault]

Hi

[honest dawn]

One less Joker, I need 4 more Jokers to get 100%.

Three of those four are jokers who are consumed by the passage of time.

[modern panther]

Do I bungle chat?

[shell rock]

your mail in rebate is eternal

also hi fellow dumb tag user :D

[heady narwhal]

going down to $6 for an eternal rental seems bad to me

especially when it kills your only source of econ

[tranquil steppe]

Congrats! What are you missing

[heady narwhal]

you could maybe win with rtb + squoker + burger + hologram, even with no money and a missing slot, but this setup is already winning

[modern panther]

Rare quad-seal spectral pack

[shell rock]

which seal is the best, purple or blue

[wintry ice]

blue

guarranteed scaling is guarranteed scaling

[tranquil steppe]

Blue

[modern panther]

I know it killed me last time... but hear me out

[shell dagger]

just save for grabber

[modern panther]

Died to needle

[amber forge]

Crazy seed I'm on right now, I got 4 9s from an incantation earlier, and now I get this from a card pack lol

[shell dagger]

drop the seed

[amber forge]

11 9s in my 40 card deck lol

[heady narwhal]

cloud 9 when

[echo tartan]

oops all 9s

[atomic trout]

Hnnn... Black Deck

Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn... BLACK Deck?

This could have been Painted Deck!

Damn. I lost the game.

[soft vapor]

I thought merry andy and green deck would be a good combo but even without using the discards it's a lot worse golden joker

[unreal iron]

i like green joker on green deck

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[unreal iron]

fits surprisingly well

[unreal iron]

im quite fond of onyx agate

[serene forge]

same

[narrow igloo]

so tuff

[cobalt talon]

El dia blo

[serene forge]

im quite fond of my gf

[unreal iron]

thank you 🙏

im also quite fond of gluttonous joker despite being a strictly worse version of agate

[distant vault]

Damn

[sudden river]

sell halvsies, you're making enough levels with burnt joker

[pale wolf]

yeye and card sharp copy is better than half surely

[distant vault]

Yeah sell him for what

Im dead chat

[pale wolf]

wtf you didnt take brainstorm??

😭

[distant vault]

Nah im gonna win anyways

Didn't feel like it

[nova mantle]

I'm indifferent about rough gem

[cobalt talon]

Guys I think I should go uranus, smth is telling me

[heady narwhal]

i don't like green joker on green deck

[distant vault]

No reason to sell halfsies

[heady narwhal]

each hand costs $1 extra

[heady narwhal]

half joker my beloved

[nova mantle]

Nah grab that Jupiter

[hybrid tendon]

teto_heart

[distant vault]

Green showed up late

[distant vault]

They wanted to kill him over brainstorm

My boy

[pale wolf]

it woulda been better

[distant vault]

Yeah but

I was fine and on autopilot

Time to poly skip on ghost

Damn

[solid garden]

as one should

[serene forge]

[heady narwhal]

woulf Jj be overpowered if it was +3 per reroll?

[spice glen]

Should I listen to the devil on my shoulder

[spice glen]

i think jj should be +50 and a kiss per reroll that would be pretty cool

[heady narwhal]

what did you skip for

[spice glen]

a rare joker tag

[atomic trout]

They most evil Needle.

[sudden river]

I got a gold sticker on the fist

[heady narwhal]

sell the baron and take chaos

get grabber after the small or big blind if possible

[distant vault]

Flash is the play

[bleak blaze]

Maybe? With Liquidation and Tarot merchant it would be diabolical with all the Temperances and Hermits

Basically a more cracked Red Card

[heady narwhal]

i think it'd be less cracked than red card since i'm spending on packs before rerolls

[distant vault]

No it would not

[heady narwhal]

liquidation
temperance

[bleak blaze]

So it'd probably be more useful in the mid game

[distant vault]

Yes some jokers have synergy that doesnt make them cracked

[bleak blaze]

Jj being +3 that is

[distant vault]

"Flash ante 1 is bad"

[heady narwhal]

flash card build
look inside
green joker, blueprint, hologram, blackboard

[atomic trout]

What could go wrong?

Should I Skip?

[distant vault]

No way, flash can't win on its own?!?!

🤔

[atomic trout]

Duplicates the money

[distant vault]

Guess its bad

[atomic trout]

Nah.

[distant vault]

I have good jokers with my good joker, yes

[atomic trout]

It worked on my side

[heady narwhal]

i could win with bloodstone and those 4 other jokers especially if the bloodstone was polychrome

[distant vault]

Nope. Kill flash and the run is done. Green is there for the foil

Flash was at 90

Holo came in late

[safe venture]

Discard until flush strikes again

[atomic trout]

All that for nothing

[heady narwhal]

in any case i'm not arguing that Jj is never good, or even that Jj is bad

i just think it's a little undertuned

[distant vault]

Never said you did but I do see people talk bad about it a lot

Literally got it ante 1 and its almost at 100

Not a problem with the joker that chat sucks with it

[distant vault]

Damn

OK time to poly skip again

[atomic trout]

LOL

[atomic trout]

I lost to the next round

[distant vault]

To what

[atomic trout]

Big Blind

[distant vault]

Damn

[sudden river]

Sr. Huesos?

[atomic trout]

Señor Huesos

[wintry ice]

sir bones

[atomic trout]

Señor Bones saves the day

"Te salvo el Señor Huesos"

I remember this run went horribly bad.

[ocean lily]

am i the only one who resets if i cant one shot the 1st blind

[sudden river]

makes little difference on yellow deck

[turbid nova]

First time breaking 1M and 3M

lets goooo

black deck took me 3 tries

the start is kind of difficult

[heady narwhal]

yeag black deck is very bad

[last bolt]

is this good

[vocal sun]

i am looking at a masterpiece right here

which one tho, probably holo right?

[ocean lily]

yeah, take hologram, its generaly not recommended to skip

especaly on higher stakes

[hushed bison]

what the fuck was the strategy here

[vocal sun]

its probably that challenge run no?

[vocal sun]

yeah thats what i was thinking, thanks

[hushed bison]

true....

[ocean lily]

i just lost such a fire run to the boss that lets u play only 1 hand type 😭

i didnt read and made a throwaway hand

[vocal sun]

tragic

[ocean lily]

bewear us balatro players, we dont read our boss blinds

[vocal sun]

yeah i came back from a trip and was in the middle of a run and saw the plant and thought i was fucked but i had some crazy stuff for ante 5 so i destroyed it with some random hand

[hushed bison]

when will the dating sim dlc be added i want to do things to perkeo

[heavy heron]

that’s actually such a crazy boss if you’re going for a 5 card hand because it means if you don’t get it in 2 discards you’re dead

[ocean lily]

Whats worst i think i was able to kill it without throwaway hands, but i was greedy for mail in rebate discard value 😭😭😭😭

[vocal sun]

pretty sure i had a poly blueprint(on yorick), scary face, hologram, hanging chad, yorick, and a negative pair joker, by the end of the run i had like 15x on yorick and lost on ante 13 or 14

[ocean lily]

Why would u be worried about plant? That build didnt relay on cards, all that mattered was the hand type

[trim notch]

When u get used to, u just see the symbol and color and know what it is

[glad sequoia]

Pain 🥲

[little escarp]

goodmorning, goodafternoon and goodnight

hello everyone!

[vocal sun]

i barely paid attention to what i had and most of the time o do face card stuff so i was worried bc i didnt pay attention

[ocean lily]

I usually go straight to the blind, dont even glance at the boss 😭😭

[tacit oasis]

Black deck gold stake making me feel miserable jfc

[little escarp]

ive heard nothing but bad things about black deck

is it really that bad?

[glad sequoia]

Definitely not fun

[glad sequoia]

I've done it 6 times, yes it is really that bad lol

[tacit oasis]

It’s just hard to get going with fewer hands. you need more scoring from the start, 1 fewer hand is less money too which makes everything harder

You get a good joker and it’s a rent one, with so little hands you end up bankrupt

[little escarp]

mmmmmmm yeah that makes sense

[wintry ice]

+1 joker slot also isn't as big of an upside as people think

[little escarp]

yeah that seems really good cause you dont need a negitive joker but the one less hand does sound bad

[tacit oasis]

It’s good mid to end game, which is worthless when 99% of my runs are dying before that

[glad sequoia]

Yeah it's much more difficult to scale jokers and at the same time have less money to find better jokers and planets. It's really rough

[wintry ice]

5 joker slots is also more than enough without the downside

[tacit oasis]

All my homies hate black deck

[little escarp]

yeah fs

[little escarp]

seems like everyone hates it

[glad sequoia]

It's definitely my least favorite. I only play it if I really feel like challenging myself

[tacit oasis]

I just need this one and other 2 to get C+ after that I’m not touching black deck ever again jfc

[little escarp]

mhm

[ripe gull]

i mean with any other downside it kinda would be

but not to an extreme amount

but being able to sometimes pick up just another mult scaler for if you dont get an xmult for a while or being able to keep it while still having is nice

[atomic trout]

Oh my god, Brainstorm does work on Riff Raff

[glad sequoia]

Yeah pretty cool

[tacit oasis]

no me jodas!

[vocal rose]

it does!

unless im wrong but

if you hover over brainstorm it’ll say compatible

[compact bay]

Why do you have it in Spanish?

[vocal rose]

this MIGHT be a shocker to you…

but maybe he speaks the language and prefers it that way

yk bc english isn’t the only language

[glad sequoia]

😮

That's crazy

[compact bay]

I know, I speak Spanish 🤣🤣🤣

[royal ore]

c++ lol

time to do challenges

[distant vault]

Ankh deck

[royal ore]

i think the ankh was why i got c++ this run

that and hologram the goat

and blue seal straights

[distant vault]

Awesome build

[glad sequoia]

Idol is online 👍

Unfortunately my idol is perishable though

[vital grove]

How do you get to that point? Idol is one of those jokers I just automatically skip when I’m playing gold stake. Too much deck fixing required to get it online before the required scores get up there

[glad sequoia]

It's just late game push pretty much. This was just a pair build until ante 7

Stuck with eternal jolly lol

[woven spire]

hello people that can’t read

[sudden river]

the thumbnail is bad

[hasty harness]

idol top 1 joker smh

i agree with everything else tho

[woven spire]

idol is trash

[hasty harness]

nuh uh

[sudden river]

vagabond is rare for a reason

[woven spire]

ante 8+ is goated

[fickle mesa]

idol is very trash

[woven spire]

but 8- might be one of the worst jokers

[hasty harness]

idol is best joker yall just hating 🥶 🥶

[sudden river]

also why is yorick in the center instead of chicot like he's confusing two legendaries

[fickle mesa]

besides that all of these have use cases at best and are incredible at worst

[fickle mesa]

have you used idol in ante 8 runs before?

[woven spire]

chicot is not all bad

[fickle mesa]

on gold stake?

[hasty harness]

so we just cant take jokes ig

💔

anyway as i was saying

[distant vault]

Easy game

[hasty harness]

idol top 1

[woven spire]

gng i saw u hating on grimbo a few days ago

good run tho

[fickle mesa]

its great but its also usually the punching bag people bad at the game go for

[shell rock]

i did one time in ante 3 of erratic deck then i died to the goad in ante 4 /:(

[distant vault]

Grimbo sucks

Yes

[woven spire]

agree

[hasty harness]

L opinion 💔

[fickle mesa]

this might be referring to old yorick

which might be one of the worst jokers

[woven spire]

what was it?

[shell rock]

also, another straights run who am i becoming

[distant vault]

Bus is better than grimbo

[fickle mesa]

after 23 discards it becomes 5x mult

[woven spire]

i mean, it could save some runs but def the worst legendary

[fickle mesa]

seeing as you are probably discarding 3 times a round pre blue stake

thats not good

[woven spire]

i love oops all 6s

[distant vault]

Stop having fun

[woven spire]

owwww.

oops all 6s it’s on my 5 best jokers idc

[shell rock]

oops is a fun joker

[woven spire]

THIS

[fickle mesa]

i have autism. if you do not make it clear to me what you are saying i will interpret it literally. however if you dont want to do that i usually do catch onto jokes when theyre funny so try that out

[shell rock]

because it synergizes with a few other jokers, wheel of fortune, and lucky cards

[fickle mesa]

oops is very pareidolia

[woven spire]

didn’t mean to react

[wintry ice]

oops is good with lucky cards and a few neat value generators

[shell rock]

reserved parking and business card

[fickle mesa]

oops and space joker 🤤

[hasty harness]

im not joking though idol is top 1 🤫 😈

[shell rock]

my goats

[woven spire]

oops, lucky cards, cat, bloodstone and sock my buskin, had a few runs like that

it’s just fun to see

[woven spire]

space joker is a love/hate relation

[hasty harness]

space joker is fire

[woven spire]

that mf never procs

[fickle mesa]

i love space joker

[woven spire]

but i still like it

[fickle mesa]

it only procs 25% of the time

[strange depot]

And John Balatro wept, for there were no more wheels left to fortune

[fickle mesa]

expect on average 1 level per round

[shell rock]

oh yeah lucky cat how could i forget

[woven spire]

hell nah

[hasty harness]

still good

[woven spire]

that’s a lil too much

[fickle mesa]

its about how much you can expect

[shell rock]

sometimes space joker hits those odds

[fickle mesa]

its a 1 in 4 chance so if you play 4 hands in a round

[hasty harness]

i saw a clip of space joker hitting 5 times in a row b4

[fickle mesa]

then on average itll be a level

[woven spire]

same odds as wheel btw

[fickle mesa]

yeah i know

[glad sequoia]

I'll get it 5 times in a row some runs and then others I'll get an eternal space joker and procks a total of 4 times through ante 8, one being a throw away hand I don't want to level up

[woven spire]

still astronomer>space joker

[fickle mesa]

on average space joker will give you a level each round that is just how it goes

[hasty harness]

i prefer space still i think

[fickle mesa]

astronomer is like

[woven spire]

astronomer is econ too

[fickle mesa]

yeah thats the thing its money

you were probably buying those celestial packs anyways

[hasty harness]

astro being considered econ is eh

[fickle mesa]

whether u had it or not

[hasty harness]

yea

this

[fickle mesa]

all its doing is saving u money

[woven spire]

it gives you money=it’s an econ joker

[hasty harness]

yeah packs but for some reason first thing i thought of is buying and selling planets lol

[fickle mesa]

so on average you arent getting that many extra planet cards

[hasty harness]

which sure it works but its not efficient at all lol

[glad sequoia]

Astronomer feels like a gift card you got for Christmas to a place you like. You'll use it but you kind of just wish you'd been given money instead

[woven spire]

.

[fickle mesa]

they already made a gift card joker

[ripe gull]

the whole video is bad

[night turret]

you would rather have egg ngl

Unless you got some negatives

[floral mural]

i agree on idol and splash and thats about it

[woven spire]

gift card is so much better than egg

[hasty harness]

where is showman

[floral mural]

even 8 ball is like not good but as a slot filler playing to it isnt unreasonable

[fickle mesa]

yeah no lol

[night turret]

Showman is an eh not down right horrible

[hasty harness]

i hate 8 ball cuz it never hits

[fickle mesa]

splash is a nice quality of life joker but its rare to find the slots for it

[woven spire]

fair

[floral mural]

considering yorick is there this is probably based on endless where showman actually matters

[hasty harness]

its more actively a detriment usually

[night turret]

That is the worst

[fickle mesa]

being able to play as many lucky cards or gold seals as youd like while sticking with pairs is nice

[floral mural]

it either does nothing or ruins packs

[woven spire]

what’s the most fun yall had in a run?

[fickle mesa]

and early game its kind of like a chips joker

[atomic trout]

Racist. Because I like it 🤣🤣

[floral mural]

hands down worse joker in the game imo

[woven spire]

ngl i’m spanish too and i play in english

[fickle mesa]

showman does suck

[woven spire]

the traduction is trash

[fickle mesa]

it might suck more than idol

[atomic trout]

I like Mexican Spanish 😋

[night turret]

One time before going to a boring math and CPU class, I hit up to I think ante 15-16 And was estatic

[fickle mesa]

idol doesnt actively hurt you and can theoretically be used against the wall or violet vessel

[hasty harness]

also seance is pretty bad but ive used it a few times so i have a soft spot for it

[sudden river]

do you not like having a third blueprint/brainstorm

[wintry ice]

showman is usually more detrimental

[atomic trout]

Skipping is nice

[compact bay]

I speak Spanish too, bro, I wanted to see what you'd say 🤣🤣🤣

[night turret]

First time I had my phone constally moving because of the game

[hasty harness]

i also like being able to get the right planet card in my planet pack instead of 4 uranus

[atomic trout]

No mames. Balatro is fun in different languages

[sudden river]

telescope

[floral mural]

the amount of econ you need to make use of that aspect of showman is insane

[fickle mesa]

nanlet lol

[hasty harness]

o wow i never thought to buy a voucher that might not show up during the run at all to fix this issue! thanks!

[fickle mesa]

do people still use that word

[floral mural]

showman before you have every joker youd want in endless (which doesnt natter for balancing) is always a detriment

[night turret]

Got 7.574e18 on that run

[floral mural]

showman is the worst joker for me because its actively detrimental

[fickle mesa]

the only exception is if you have photochad or a cavendish i think

but if you have either of those you're probably winning anyways

[night turret]

Worst is 8ball, it hits once every blue moon

[fickle mesa]

so at best its a winmore

[floral mural]

like idol seance and baron suck but they at worst do nothing rather than sabotage your run

[sudden river]

I've never nanned but I've had a run go up to ante 19 and died because I only had three copy jokers

[hasty harness]

probably died for other reasons

like money management or vouchers

[floral mural]

if you have the econ to reroll and make showman usable youd win anyways

[fickle mesa]

that too

[fervent haven]

Is unseeded wr still e472k by balatro university?

[woven spire]

my best run was a baron mine that got to e18 only copying mine with a double bp and a brainstorm, sold it because i had the head as the blind boss and rerolled a sigil, all my kings were hearts

that run had so much potential

[sudden river]

it was my first successful baron mime run on plasma

[floral mural]

actively hurts your run is worse than doing nothing

[hasty harness]

probably not if u allow bugs like beanbug

[fickle mesa]

my best run i had a 2 ride the buses a mime and a bunch of blue seals on the magic deck

[night turret]

Hmmm I think I should take it

[sudden river]

died to the big blind

[fickle mesa]

and i won with nothing else

[floral mural]

like i dont like 8 ball either but doing nothing and being a non scoring joker means letting it simmer isnt horrible

[woven spire]

stm=fun run

[hasty harness]

i mean like if u had 3 copiers dna mime and baron im pretty sure u can get to at least ante 24

[night turret]

I guess, it’s only good for swash and not much else

[hasty harness]

been awhile since i did a naninf tho

[fervent haven]

doesn't the glitch only increase hand size tho?

[fickle mesa]

shoot the moon is good on every deck except plasma

[hasty harness]

more handsize = more scoring

[woven spire]

permanently tho

[night turret]

I was talking about Jimbo but okay

[floral mural]

baron mime scales off of hand size in endless

[sudden river]

I sold my showman prematurely and I rerolled to get it back. I spent the remainder with an open joker slot and random commons filling its space

[night turret]

He never hurts me to have

[woven spire]

still, take stm

[fervent haven]

e472k is an insane number tho, permanent handsize isn't gonna give you close to that number

[woven spire]

he’s eternal

[hasty harness]

what was ur lineup

[hasty harness]

i mean u can easily get like 60 handsize+ if ur lucky

[sudden river]

baron mime blueprint brainstorm blueprint dna

[fickle mesa]

didnt he do some like perkeo cola shenangans

[hasty harness]

i did bean bug twice in one run and got like 40 handsize

[woven spire]

e472k?? are we on cryptid?

[night turret]

He’s the goat you mean

[sudden river]

I also had a luchadore in case of plant but I should have sold it

[hasty harness]

like right here for example @fervent haven

i dont know my score since i didnt have mods to make it not be naninf

and instead above e308

[fervent haven]

he combined perkeo with plasma deck and ankh + ecto + cryptid in a baron mime build

[hasty harness]

but i think that might beat it

potentially

[fervent haven]

lmao no

[distant vault]

No room for you here soul

Run is already set

[fervent haven]

it's not e472

[distant vault]

Familiar it is

[fervent haven]

it is e472,000

[woven spire]

e472k it’s not achievable

no way

[hasty harness]

oh i thought u meant e 472

💀💀

[fervent haven]

check his vid lol

[woven spire]

lmao

[fervent haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uZoo8JyJvc

[woven spire]

THAT is achievable

[hasty harness]

yeah easily

[fervent haven]

it's insane lmao

[fickle mesa]

having more digits than there are chips necessary to beat most finisher boss blinds

[hasty harness]

oh i see lol

[woven spire]

he didn’t even had talisman, can’t really know what his score was tho

[hasty harness]

yeah thats probably standing as a wr for a long time

[fervent haven]

it can be plugged into a balatro score calculator without much difficulty

just by counting his handsize + joker count of each type

[woven spire]

i mean, if doc says it, i believe it

[modern panther]

Why can't I get a run like this on gold stake?

[woven spire]

tips for c+? i wanna start doing it and i only have 2/15

[tacit oasis]

Balatro university daily vids

[woven spire]

yh i’ve seen a bunch of those

[distant vault]

Bruh

[woven spire]

?

[distant vault]

Nevermind

[woven spire]

mhm

[distant vault]

[idle flax]

Hey I was just wondering if there were any other ways to get the tutorial to play. I tried going onto my second and third profile and it still wouldn't run the tutorial. Is this something they plan to add? Or is the only way by resetting the cache for the whole game. I had some friends try the game and was going to have them see if they liked it but they weren't able to play the tutorial.

[modern panther]

I want to... I can't, but I want to

[hardy fable]

Chinese goat milk(iykyk)

[hardy fable]

no

[vast delta]

I just thought of something, if you play a flush with wild cards and vampire sucks the wild cards, it still counts as a flush, right?

I just thought about that and I don't think that's something I've experienced in the game yet

I mean I don't see why it would stop counting as a flush, because the vampire happens after you've already played the hand, but that's just an interesting interaction that I haven't thought about yet

[nova junco]

Iirc it does and it still scores all the cards

[modern panther]

It's every time...

[nova junco]

Stone cards are also scored after getting unstoned

[vast delta]

The 50 chips?

[nova junco]

Yes

[vast delta]

interesting

[nova junco]

They don't score 50 chips though

They score normally

[fickle mesa]

better econ = easier to find stronger jokers without any stickers

[fickle mesa]

chicot is strong here

[vast delta]

oh gotcha

[fickle mesa]

now u dont have to think about the plant

or the one that quarters your score

flint thats the one

[nova junco]

I get the plant but it doesn't matter getting /4 if trib is giving you x128 lol

Chicot is still the best pull though that's facts

[humble hound]

[distant vault]

You know what to do

[vocal rose]

this makes me sad

[acoustic kettle]

Credit card

[vocal rose]

in the judgement

[distant vault]

Abk cookin

[humble hound]

there was no cc in the buffoon

[vocal rose]

safe option would be to take sly joker...

[acoustic kettle]

Soul in arcana ngl

You could sell it and get pants

[humble hound]

why didn't i think of that

[modern panther]

Why. Never. On. Gold... I hate this

[unreal island]

oh my goodness gracious its EVERYWHERE

[acoustic kettle]

Balatro looks different

[hearty tundra]

This is the kinda run you get on white

Every single time

[vocal rose]

half those jokers might be perishable or rental on gold

half joker

[acoustic kettle]

Or you don't take in gold

Because there's a better option short term

To live

[modern panther]

Jesus Christ. I don't have space!

[wind bolt]

I need some help

[wheat haven]

you have 2 bloodstones, you need serious help

[wind bolt]

the dice or the picture

[wheat haven]

Dice if you're playing flushes

[wind bolt]

Yes, I do

But I m waiting for negative tarot

[spring jungle]

i never understood ride the buss, if im going for two pairs. should i destroy all facecrads and only play numbers?

[woven spire]

always take oops
-roffle

[wheat haven]

Ride the bus is a bit late here. But yes, you remove face cards and play something simple like pairs

[barren wigeon]

yes

[nova junco]

If you're gonna do ride the bus then you can't play face cards

[spring jungle]

havent bult a deck at all

[wind bolt]

Hahaa

[void jacinth]

should i replace something with baron? i play four of a kind kings and i have a lot of kings in my deck but i can retrigger many lucky cards and the lucky cat works very well

[fringe crest]

worst spectral pack ever

[nova junco]

But yeah ante 5 it's kinda late

[spring jungle]

okey

[nova junco]

Wraith

[barren wigeon]

no

[spring jungle]

alright

[fringe crest]

no

[woven spire]

but seriously take the dice

[barren wigeon]

if you dont need it theres no point in taking it

[void jacinth]

[wind bolt]

Really? 😭

[fringe crest]

[nova junco]

Cat scales faster with dice

[viral ledge]

[unreal island]

[fringe crest]

[distant vault]

[fringe crest]

[serene forge]

[unreal island]

[distant vault]

[woven spire]

[modern panther]

Do I skip it? I don't want to...

[woven spire]

[lavish nacelle]

I mean yeah, but with water you could got more than 1 chance

[fringe crest]

[modern panther]

If anything is going it's cat. If I run into Plant or Head I lose

[modern panther]

No

[fringe crest]

[fringe crest]

[wind bolt]

Hahah

[fringe crest]

chigoat and worst in the same sentance💔

[modern panther]

Pop it

[wind bolt]

What legendary joker do I need for this build?

[marble gorge]

buddy you is gonna remember me for the rest of your life because I said bloodstone cucked once

[lavish nacelle]

What are you lookin for

[fringe crest]

you dont need one but preferably chicot or trib

maybe perkeo

[wind bolt]

Hmm the cât tell me to make Lucky for money

[lavish nacelle]

Not really perkeo, not that useful

[fringe crest]

planets

[lavish nacelle]

Maybe trib for more mult

But that's it

[wind bolt]

I play flush

[fringe crest]

trib requires deck fixing and a lot

perkeo can provide planet levels

chicot provides security

[wind bolt]

Nicee

[wind bolt]

I need a reroll voucher

[unreal island]

is it good

[wintry ice]

cruiser handle dissagreement challenge

[woven spire]

14 tries for balatrodle

diabolical

just forgot that mf existed

[pale wolf]

ooh balatrodle

[modern panther]

Dear god...

[woven spire]

it’s horrible

[signal frigate]

If you've passed the two bosses you were weak to, I'd probably say thanks to Chicot and sell him

[woven spire]

yh bye chicot

[signal frigate]

Imagine if he comes back immediately

[woven spire]

i’d say 3, the pillar can be diabolical

[signal frigate]

That's easy enough to pass

Just save your best cards for it

And use your shitty ones

[frank grove]

Or just skip to it, if you have to

[woven spire]

the thing is that i only notice the boss when im about to face it

i can’t read.

[viral ledge]

my god

[pale wolf]

🦓 okay it's actually good that I forgot what yours was

[woven spire]

[sand lily]

[compact bay]

Starting with that combo and having a full house deck all the time is a big risk.

[regal sigil]

[acoustic kettle]

Copy jokers are so good like that

Copy rebate

Copy burnt

[compact bay]

Yeah

[acoustic kettle]

Copy space man

[modern panther]

Never stop gamba

[narrow igloo]

[regal sigil]

[atomic trout]

This is impossible

[high barn]

I'm playing flushes btw

[acoustic kettle]

[high barn]

[regal sigil]

[modern panther]

"How many levels would you like?"
Yes

[willow moss]

Whats your guys favorite platform to play balatro?

Me personally I love my switch but since it doesn't have achievements I'll have to say my phone

I don't have it on PC but I guess mods could make it yours favorite

[magic vessel]

Mobile is top 2 ngl

[high barn]

[distant vault]

What's wrong with supernova

[manic owl]

[distant vault]

Too slow?

[manic owl]

Thats why i like

[distant vault]

How is it too slow

[manic owl]

it can be anything you need it to be

[wintry ice]

me when my joker doesn't score 5gajillion points in an specific circumstance and instead scores enough to win a real gols stake game

[distant vault]

Isnt +1 the normal

Bro

[manic owl]

Joker: Gives +4 Mult

[distant vault]

You're comparing blueprint to supernova

How does that make sense

[pallid ferry]

jimbo is scaling?

[manic owl]

dont give him the power

[distant vault]

Yea u right

Nevermind

[manic owl]

do not.

[distant vault]

[pallid ferry]

[wintry ice]

+4 mult per round for an easy condition is more than fine

[grave pawn]

doomed yuri

[manic owl]

GOD DAMN IT KRIS, WHERE THE HELL ARE WE NOW? Jimbo: Bor ba bee (Welcome to Balatro)

[pallid ferry]

[distant vault]

Bus is my favorite but supernova is above it

[manic owl]

I had an E17 idol run, but a rando card i had in my deck ruined it

[distant vault]

I can't believe rebate surpassed sly

[distant vault]

It really is

[hybrid tendon]

[hybrid tendon]

😔

[pallid ferry]

[hybrid tendon]

I guess I don't hate enough on bloodstone to be noticed like my wife...

[last bolt]

Hate on another joker

Rough gem

Or smth idfk

[hybrid tendon]

no other joker deserve as much hate

[pallid ferry]

[modern panther]

[last bolt]

I'd beg to differ

[last bolt]

No

[distant vault]

Showman

[last bolt]

[hybrid tendon]

8 ball doesn'T directly impact if you make it throuhg the round or not

[distant vault]

Showman is dog shit

[pallid ferry]

[royal ore]

i love this challenge because i get to kill throwback

[distant vault]

[serene forge]

YAYYYYY

[atomic trout]

[last bolt]

GREEN JOKER CARRIED ME

[royal ore]

[distant vault]

Fuck green joker

[royal ore]

[serene forge]
