[queen current]

hurray the one time obelisk succeeded

[celest roost]

Whenever I resume the game and play a hand, this error appears.
How do I continue the run?
It is on Ante 37, I really don't want to reset it.

[wanton breach]

That is GG Well Played

[queen current]

you made the gam eimplode

theres no more game

[night turret]

It’s like this game wants me to kill off cavendish

[celest roost]

But whyyy

It loads up just fine

😔

Whatever I try this happens

I tried deleting all unnecessary jokers, not using tarots, not activating dna, still just dies.

[stiff ore]

hell yeah, ill gladly take it with the sticker since its negative lol

[night turret]

Yeah I’m cooked chat

[vale shale]

Pretty sure the deck also matters in that. So it's realistically crashing not just because of the jokers

[night turret]

I didn’t pay attention to the boss Bind

[vale shale]

That's a straight.

You can pull through wdym

Is your fortuneteller not good

[night turret]

Only got like 14 mult, I tried upgrading more before hand

[hollow ferry]

why do you have the two pair joker with a straight build

[night turret]

I’ll try this and then a two pair

[night turret]

I was planning to get rid of it but didnt get any good jokers

TWO PAIR MY GOAT

[vale shale]

That's a straight build?

[night turret]

Yup

[vale shale]

Your levels on straight is low why

[night turret]

Barely got any celestial packs….

And I got telescope as well

Might be cooked

[deft sandal]

Oh no, what should I do

The Mark on Abandoned deck

[storm estuary]

Give up

[deft sandal]

[deft sandal]

[night turret]

I GOT THROUGH AND FINALLY WON BLAKE STAKE

[deft sandal]

what the hell is a blake stake

[night turret]

Ohhh nice, you running speed runner too?

[patent prairie]

hmmm i wonder which card i should destroy

[deft sandal]

Ah yes, polychrome scary face, just what I needed on abandoned deck

[night turret]

Don’t do the Jack! You’ll ruin the build

[deft sandal]

always love a great straight flush build

[violet trail]

Is it winning?

Is it consisten?

[deft sandal]

very consisitent

[midnight viper]

hellooo

[deft sandal]

Séance would be great if I could find one

but i got brainstorm now

[mossy finch]

didn't know the riff raff can give negative jokers also

[midnight viper]

[deft sandal]

look at this 6 of heart

*chef kiss

[hidden lance]

lol

[deft sandal]

hex the blueprint instantly

[waxen fable]

What score would this Get .

[floral mural]

actual tough choice

1x on hologram or 20 bucks

but considering the gold cards and blue seal i always take incantation here

[violet trail]

Why the pope there

[deft sandal]

welp gg

commited to playing chips

[floral mural]

golden and 8 ball stickers

[midnight timber]

should I play

the game

[raw schooner]

no

[midnight timber]

why not

[raw schooner]

oh idk

[wary zodiac]

are you fucking kidding me

[raw schooner]

arcana into hermit

[wary zodiac]

there was NO credit card in the buffoon pack ):

[raw schooner]

or arcana into judgement into credit card

ez

[wary zodiac]

..,,

lets

[wary zodiac]

[raw schooner]

tragedy

[wary zodiac]

might have to quit

ggwp

[raw schooner]

not useful round one anyways lowkey

[wary zodiac]

yeah but its fun

[pale wolf]

hello!

[wary zodiac]

helloo

[pale wolf]

r1 blueprint is fake anyways

[raw schooner]

its true

[pale wolf]

you buy it, have no money or interest or scoring to show for it, and die

[raw schooner]

unless from buffoon pack. then it's immaculate and beautiful and brave

[pale wolf]

yeah obviously unless you have money somehow

I would take it literally any scoring to supplement but that costs more muni

so it's like a yellow deck or immolate exclusive

[raw schooner]

yellow deck or perhaps selling hex before round 1 ends

bc interest

[pale wolf]

selling hex is for fools

[raw schooner]

yeah and that only ever happens if you KNOW round 1 shop has bp

[pale wolf]

polychrome scoring is worth more than $2

uh, $3

[pale wolf]

Even then, same situation before, you have no money

[raw schooner]

we are on the same page

[pale wolf]

i just slept 12 hours

balatrodle time.

I'm doing horribly

[raw schooner]

me too

idk joker costs by heart 💔

[pale wolf]

i got it in 7. brutal not even gonna post it

depressing

[raw schooner]

I got it in 6

i managed to guess one with everything green but just wasn't the card

[vale mesa]

this is my first time doing one and i got it in 7
is 7 that bad

i don't remember most joker costs

[raw schooner]

i don't either

[pale wolf]

i had 2 stupid guesses so i shouldve gotten it in 5

[midnight timber]

unblock me

[pale wolf]

i remember joker costs but i straight up just forgot the price i was guessing for

and once i guessed a deconfirmed category bc i forgor it wasnt close

[midnight timber]

unblock me

[left juniper]

I literally don't know any joker costs. I'm sure the information wont be important

[pale wolf]

its pretty vital

[left juniper]

Math is illegal. There's no way I'm remembering prices

[pale wolf]

balatrodle is a good way of learning it actually, its good knowledge for knowing which joker to take and sell out of packs

[midnight timber]

can you pls unblock me

[left juniper]

Min-maxing 😴

[mossy finch]

let's go

wtf

[shell dagger]

why on earth did you reroll

literally

[mossy finch]

how do i take it

[shell dagger]

you couldn’t have afforded anything

[mossy finch]

for the earth(full house)

[shell dagger]

7-5=?

[mossy finch]

im asian ez 2

2

[shell dagger]

do you know how many jokers cost $2 or less

or consumables without any vouchers

[mossy finch]

bro i was looking for the earth to get it and make a negative copy for money

[shell dagger]

sorry but you get no sympathy from me

[mossy finch]

[wary zodiac]

im getting such absymal draws rn

constantly

its getting frustrating

im taking a break

[pale wolf]

Saturn???

0 iq play

you see, earth gets much more valuable than saturn when negative

[lunar zealot]

slay the spire hard as balls and i keep losing but i cant stop playing

[willow plaza]

are there any tips i could use to i can stop relying on photochad or powerful jokers every run

like general tips

[fervent haven]

watch balatro university

made me 100x better at the game and able to beat gold stake

learn the value of money management and scaling jokers too

[willow plaza]

are his videos individually based on one aspect or is one video just him explaining good moves

in the run

[fervent haven]

any of his gold stake videos he explains why he does what he does

[willow plaza]

oh alright

[fervent haven]

he has tons of videos titled gold stake lessons. Also recommend watching his gold stake completionist streak playlist

[vale mesa]

balatro university?
or you could just play some

[mossy finch]

now i just need cryptid from sense

[willow plaza]

play some

[fervent haven]

playing is good but seeing someone explain why certain choices are better is helpful

[vale mesa]

i'll say im not great at the game rn
but i don't feel like there's a point in watching videos on strategies

[fervent haven]

I found them really entertaining. Just depends on how different people like to enjoy the game

[willow plaza]

i feel like in most of these runs its like "oh he just gets a great joker after rerolling a little"

[vale mesa]

alright thats fair

[fervent haven]

pay attention to his money management. On many of his runs he comes close to losing but manages to survive haha

some of them he never even gets xmult

[vale mesa]

on plasma deck or not

[willow plaza]

in most of my runs i come close to losing

but i still lose

[fervent haven]

on all the decks. he rotates through the decks

[vale mesa]

damn

[frank grove]

He doesn’t really do plasma runs very often

[willow plaza]

i main checkered deck cuz flushes are love

[vale mesa]

plasma deck is the chip deck

lol

you don't always need mult

jokers

[fervent haven]

pairs is so much better than flush. Believe me I used to only play flushes when I started

[willow plaza]

ive gotten to orange stake (or the stake before gold cuz i forgot) on checkered

[fervent haven]

checkered deck is still a very strong deck

[willow plaza]

flushes are good in early antes but i find it hard to transition

[mossy finch]

oh shit

[fervent haven]

scaling falls off

[vale mesa]

lol when i started i played straights all the time

[willow plaza]

i cant just get spare trousers

every run

[fervent haven]

straights are so fun to play if you get a good setup

pairs get boring cuz they're usually free wins with how easy it is haha

[frank grove]

Yeah

[willow plaza]

i feel like i have to use up 4 discards every time i want a straight they just never happen

[frank grove]

Straights are fun to play around

[vale mesa]

ive beat gold stake on ghost deck and most of my other decks are either on white stake or not won at all lol

[fervent haven]

yeah, they are just so hard to make happen. You basically need four fingers or shortcut

[willow plaza]

i usually get 3 or 4 broken up straights

[vale mesa]

shortcut better

broken straights are funny

[fervent haven]

Ever tried straight flushes with shortcut, four fingers, and smeared joker XD

[willow plaza]

a,k,q,j,9,8,7,6 i feel like ive seem this a ton

[fervent haven]

so real

[willow plaza]

smear joker not needed in chekcered

[fervent haven]

i always lose my 10's

[vale mesa]

checkered deck starts you off with an eternal negative smeared joker

sort of

[fervent haven]

i reject checkered deck

embrace plasma for high score meme runs

[willow plaza]

smeared joker actually is bad cuz the club boss blind will debuff ur spades

[vale mesa]

im playing checkered deck literally right now

yeah ik

[willow plaza]

i guess it just goes to show that 10s are also hard to find irl as well

get it

[vale mesa]

mhm

we get it

[willow plaza]

its either a mult 2 or a debuffed ace

maybe even a glass queen hahaahhaa

nvm

[vale mesa]

ok actually i wanna gold stake plasma now

bc

plasma is easy asf

[pale wolf]

its the microoptimizations that you observe from doc that help a lot

order of buying/sell/opening packs, when to use tarots, etc

[shell dagger]

famous last words

[fervent haven]

much harder on gold stake than white stake

still, not a terribly hard deck on gold stake

but blue deck and yellow deck are prob easier tbh

[vale mesa]

damn

[frank grove]

Vv on gold plasma is 2.4m right?

[shell dagger]

plasma is one of the hardest to streak

[vale mesa]

anyway im black staking rn

uh luck

[manic talon]

Plasma is dumb fun until purple where you have to lock in somewhat

[wind bolt]

Umm....

[night turret]

Unfortunately black is where I had to lock in

Never gave me a rare joker UNTIL the 7 or 8th ante

[vale mesa]

wow good for you

i mean if you're desperate you could try

ing until you get something usable

[wind bolt]

Anytime

[vale mesa]

run start

[pale wolf]

[midnight timber]

any tips for first run?

[left sorrel]

If I have no clubs on my deck, can my ancient joker select clubs?

[midnight timber]

yes

[pale wolf]

ancient joker is the only random joker that doesnt look at deck

[acoustic kettle]

Yes

[midnight timber]

should I take ancient joker

[acoustic kettle]

Bbc value

Wait is aj uncommon

[midnight timber]

rare

[narrow igloo]

... whats the bbc joker...

[pale wolf]

baseball card

[acoustic kettle]

Baseball card

[narrow igloo]

ghot it

[midnight timber]

noo the eye

omg why am I getting so many standard packs after selling hologram

[gloomy swallow]

Two more!

And 4 more!

[midnight timber]

balatro

[heavy hare]

not with hologram unless your bus isnt scaled at all

oh this is crazy late mb

[midnight timber]

I won my first run

😎

omg yellow deck

Powerful

[calm furnace]

madness runs peak

[midnight timber]

what's a madness? and why do your jokers have weird things on them

[midnight timber]

oh and why the round score is it yellow and the deck weird

[weak shale]

madness is a joker that kills other jokers for free mult

[vale mesa]

ah yes killing other jokers for free mult

[weak shale]

the round score is yellow because if you have any prospect of skill and you actually beat the game you unlock harder difficulties and that changes the color of the score icon. Also the deck is the ghost deck or whatever tf it’s called it gives you a hex that makes a joker polychrome and kills all the other ones

[weak shale]

a small price to pay

[midnight timber]

why do the jokers have those circles on them

[vale mesa]

well yeah

[weak shale]

the weird circles on the jokers are stickers there are 3 stickers in vanilla one makes a joker into a subscription service one makes it immortal and another makes it go stale

[pale wolf]

you're educating a troll

[vale mesa]

even if you hadn't sent 10706 messages

[pale wolf]

they arent asking questions in good faith

thats why i keep them blocked

[vale mesa]

guys what is the second joker called

i forgot

[weak shale]

real

wtf is that glint on the blind icon

[vale mesa]

modded

[ancient gyro]

always keeping me blocked from my biased runs

[vale mesa]

i feel like mail in rebate is just way too good for a common

[weak shale]

yeah but it’s too much of a crutch to just up and nerf it without a ton of other balance changes

[pale wolf]

hi

[acoustic kettle]

It is too good period

[pale wolf]

rebate is powerful

[narrow igloo]

imo its my fav econ

[acoustic kettle]

Nerfing things in a singleplayer game feels

Hmm

Idk

It doesn't feel right

[idle blade]

balatro

[narrow igloo]

do u think it would be bad if they added 2 more legendarys?

[vale mesa]

not necessarily, depends on what they do

[narrow igloo]

becuse o cant stopthining about this specific one i thought of

[narrow igloo]

is there a chanel to put ideas?

[weak shale]

yeah maybe over the course of a year or 2

[narrow igloo]

or can i js say it here

[weak shale]

#1155557846805643434

[vale mesa]

oop

[weak shale]

oops indeed

[acoustic kettle]

Suggestions

Sheet for sheet stuff

[vale mesa]

here's an idea
if you go in debt
it should increase by 50% rounded up every second

yknow

regular interest

[hollow ferry]

every second?

[olive basin]

Best econ in game

[vale mesa]

yep

[olive basin]

They’re going to add food jokers

Not necessarily legendaries

[vale mesa]

$-1 goes to $-62 after 10 seconds

[narrow igloo]

[olive basin]

How does the plant have to do with anything

[vale mesa]

you eat plants

add a joker which is chicot but only for the plant though

[olive basin]

Actually yeah next time eat a salad

[vale mesa]

uh what are your ideas

[narrow igloo]

im abt to put it in #1155557846805643434

[glad sequoia]

Rare walkie talkie build

[little escarp]

bruh my game just crashed mid game

[lost lantern]

Hello everyone i need help ive been trying to have trouble calculating on how to discard a hand properly for the right hand i want

Is there like a mathematical thinking to it or am i just not doing something correctly

[narrow igloo]

it saves

[little escarp]

yeah just annoying tbh

[olive basin]

I did a run where is was Walkie talkie and even Steven it was synergy out the wazoo

Plus constellation and astronomer

[glad sequoia]

Lol nice

[minor raven]

First win on golden stake

[narrow igloo]

yayyy niceee

[hardy fable]

and i carried

[glad sequoia]

Was going to say chigoat W but I didn't need him in the final blind lol. He did save me against the pillar though

[midnight timber]

oops

🥶

do I do it

[ancient gyro]

you're my primary source of ableism

[fallow fog]

erhh, you cld watch how balatro university discards the opening hands but that may be too advanced

[celest bridge]

flush gets nothing imo. though it gains most of its buffs from containing both two pair and 3oak

[fallow fog]

but like there rly isnt much math, just look at whatever cards are left in the deck to see how many outs there are, and play to what has the highest chance

[midnight timber]

balatro

[midnight timber]

discard cards you don't nee

[calm furnace]

the lion doesn't concern itself in such concepts as economy, interest and planet scaling

[sinful meteor]

Does a Nat negative invisible just cancels antimatter?

[calm furnace]

gold stake is easier than orange stake

rentals are a good thing not a bad thing

[sinful meteor]

So if I’m at 8/7, antimatter would just get me to 8/8

[fallow fog]

only madness

[calm furnace]

ante 1 rental eternal madness is the most fun runs

[fallow fog]

says the guy who mains campfire

i agree

i rly dont like getting a jimbo pack with two rentals in the early game tho

[calm furnace]

there was one run i took rental eternal madness and satellite and kept buying different planets to scale satellite

stayed under 0$ till ante 4

[fallow fog]

thats insane

[calm furnace]

had to buy all base hands to start making 3$

[fallow fog]

planets prolly kept u alive

[calm furnace]

yeah pretty much hitting a random straight or 4oak

[fallow fog]

respect

golden needle is definitely harder than jokerless challenge tho

[calm furnace]

hardest challenge in the game

jokerless is not really hard since 3 discards allow you to dig and get good hands

you just need to be lucky with planets

or get an early telescope

Hi, anyone wants to play PVP Balatro?
(Without the mod)
Its simple, we decide a seed, deck, time limit and stake, and we try to score the best hand possible in the first 8 antes. Then we send screen pics of the YOU WIN! screen to eachothers DM (before the time limit) and see who wins.

[wintry igloo]

should I be scared?

[low fog]

gg

[left sorrel]

@low fog , you eant to play?

Pvp Balatro?

Look my above message

[low fog]

i don't have multiplayer

[left sorrel]

Its without the mod

[low fog]

and i'm def not good at multiplayer

[left sorrel]

Me neither

[low fog]

nah

[left sorrel]

You dont want to even try?

[late bay]

Probably the most fun I’ve had with a run, unfortunately I ran out of glass cards - 3 justice showed up and very little deaths. 😭

[midnight timber]

Oh no

[neat ore]

People call me the silliest cockaminie nonsense man in the Austro-Hungarian empire

[fast goblet]

What do I do here. I’m going for a high card run and I think Mime is good but I also need DNA to keep making more copies of my red seal steel king?

[kind creek]

guys do I have a chance?

[inland helm]

whats your high card level? and how much is rick actually contributing

i feel like its either blue or rick that go here

[pine swift]

I need dollar dollar dollar and another dollar

[fast goblet]

High card is at lvl 10 and Rick is at x22

[kind creek]

Blue joker's +10 mult will apply only after mime, so he basically only provides chips

I say get rid of him

[fast goblet]

Get rid of Blue?

But then I’ll have no chip source correct?

[kind creek]

Might be a misplay, but that's what I would have done

[inland helm]

hmmmm

[kind creek]

only 10 high card..

[fast goblet]

I had terrible luck with packs and blue seals

[inland helm]

this is a toughie but i think rick would go here, x22 is a lot but i think the double copied mime might be better? not 100% sure

[pine swift]

And run is dead.

[kind creek]

is this still salvagable?

[fast goblet]

Hm okay I’ll think on it or maybe do some calculations

[inland helm]

alr

[fast goblet]

Thanks for the input

I unfortunately think my run might be dead with this low of a high card level

Either way

[inland helm]

from first glance i think the red seal steels with mime should be enough with the extra mult from onyx

but im not 100%

[sonic robin]

Another day another hecking

[kind creek]

yeah, but do I use a red seal card to get more onyx triggers before mime works?

[kind creek]

hell yeah, imagine this but with 2s and a wee

[wintry ice]

try a 3oak

[sonic robin]

Wee + plasma = good time

[kind creek]

I feel like blueprint could be in a better spot, chad is 2 triggers while hack/soc is 5
and idol if it's active is like 15 from blueprint

[sonic robin]

Of course. I move it to hanging chad for farming lucky cards

[wintry ice]

copying idol is best for scoring

[kind creek]

ohhhh

one per hand

I see

smart, good cash money

[wintry ice]

copying hack is best fot econ

[fast goblet]

@wintry ice Could I get your input on this as well?

Trying to find the groups consensus

[inland helm]

ehhhh im not sure. currently including the other clubs played you'd be at 20 mult before steel, then the 6 steel hits would put you attttt uhhhh like 230 mult i think??

i could be doing math completely wrong lol

[wintry ice]

blue isn't doing much

sell it for mime and buy overstock

[sonic robin]

Level of high card? If it's high enough, chips from blue joker is not doing anything so might as well sell that

[wintry ice]

also get some gold cards

[fast goblet]

My high card is only level 10

So if I get rid of blue my chip supply is almost gone

[wintry ice]

still

[kind creek]

alright, time to call on the first and most important rule
when in doubt - gamble.

[wintry ice]

mime does a lot more

[fast goblet]

So I take it I double blueprint dna for more red seal steel kings and then double blueprint mime for high card hand?

[kind creek]

hold up, closing the game actually allowed for a savescum

[waxen path]

JUST GIVE ME MY STRAIGHT DAWG

[inland helm]

wait so was it not enough

[kind creek]

agony.

[fast goblet]

@wintry ice

[kind creek]

it moved time back to before I used my death card
I have no idea, but I have another option now. To change a 10 into a red seal 2, then play full house with 3 steels working

[inland helm]

yes

[sonic robin]

I assume you're on non-plasma, chips is irrelevant

[hollow folio]

wasup guys

im back

[fast goblet]

Yeah im not on plasma

Okay sounds good thanks guys

[sonic robin]

Good luck! Fingers crossed

[inland helm]

ooooh good idea

i think youll be fine

[wintry ice]

i'd avoid copying dna if you have the scoring

[hollow folio]

And yes, I already bought balatro

[wintry ice]

since you need gold cards for econ

[kind creek]

🎉

[inland helm]

ez

[fast goblet]

Got one more ante and then it just wasn’t enough. Going to try another run. Thanks for all the advice

[sonic robin]

Aw, sorry it didn't worked out. At least passed one ante

[fast goblet]

Honestly just using the checkered deck to beat the different modes so I can unlock plasma

It was a good learning experience

[sonic robin]

Plasma is definitely for hardcore players, cause it's the easiest for doing high scoring endless run

[last bolt]

First shop, how we lookin?

[fast goblet]

Yeah I want it to try crazy runs with. At the end of the day I want to 100% the game but I just got it a week ago and am not in a rush

[vale mesa]

i love bloodstone

[vale mesa]

at the end of the day is an ambiguous phrase here lol

[fast goblet]

Fair enough lol

[last bolt]

dawg 😭

This run is bound to go wrong

i can js feel it

[hasty garnet]

Could someone provide me a good video or guide to the game? Im struggling

[lunar zealot]

drspectred (balatro university)

[hasty garnet]

This one?

[lunar zealot]

yeah

he has educational content

[tender bone]

Balatro university is actually the goat

[mossy finch]

what a combo

[sonic robin]

Waiting for Showman to shows up

[atomic trout]

Not enough cards

[kindred tiger]

Yo I found a really cool seed

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1455224993783873566

Really fun one

[sonic robin]

Nah, that's a good amount for me lol. Already traumatized with Baron Mime + DNA Cryptid build where I have 250 cards instead

[mossy finch]

I'm tempted to take that

[inland helm]

it would be funny

[unreal iron]

amazing baron sell

or like chad i guess idrk

[mossy finch]

another baron?

[floral mural]

balancing barond and mimes id good so yes

[mossy finch]

ok im taking it

[floral mural]

youd wanna replace some of these with copy jokers anyways so goodbye showman

[atomic trout]

What a CLOSE call!

I can see why the Bell is a threat to Straight Runs

[sonic robin]

Photochad glazer till I die

[mossy finch]

umm

what do I do I'm newb

[sonic robin]

If you have enough Kings already, you can sell DNA

[unreal iron]

or mime

yk

a blueprint can be anything

[sonic robin]

And fix the remaining non-Kings with Immolate and Hanged Man

[sonic robin]

DNA is not a long term joker. Yes blueprint can copy any but score difference wise, sell DNA will make him have 3 Mime or 3 Baron which can grant him couple more rounds

[rugged bloom]

Balatro? More like Ballatro

[inland helm]

but DNA can also grant hand size if youre copying more than once, and hand size is very important in a baron run

[indigo laurel]

to do list or buffon first shop

[inland helm]

whats to do list on

[indigo laurel]

high card

[inland helm]

id take to do list then, get some cash in 2nd blind and get a scoring joker before boss (hopefully)

[hollow ferry]

grab to do list and make some money

[indigo laurel]

yeah but that means i gotta one shot the big blind or two shot it

[hollow ferry]

use all your hands

[inland helm]

yeah

[hollow ferry]

you’ll make more money anyways

by using all your hands

[inland helm]

plus if it gets down to it you can use high cards as discards to look for high scoring hands

[indigo laurel]

defeated big blind dw

[inland helm]

ez

[indigo laurel]

im a superior human

man i love this song

no joker for boss, cel pack or reroll

[hollow ferry]

how much money do you have

[indigo laurel]

16
bought cel and got mercury

did i make a bad choice

[hollow ferry]

yikes

[indigo laurel]

my to do list is poly kinda helps

[hollow ferry]

oh

you might be fine then

[indigo laurel]

yeah i got a straight

[last bolt]

what

interesting song choice

[terse dock]

[heady stump]

Should I take the Arrowhead for the DNA?

[inland helm]

are you gonna convert those diamonds to spades

you should have enough glass but eventually if youre REALLY unlucky it might all break without dna

plus how much do you really need the chips

[unreal iron]

chips shouldnt matter when youre scoring e(num) on mult

[hollow ferry]

i mean they have a lot of mult so chips wouldnt hurt

[unreal iron]

its like nothing compared to a few e's yk?

[inland helm]

like realistically depending on your hand level and retriggers itll prob only end up being like 3-4x overall

which is probably not worth

[heady stump]

yeah i will keep the DNA

I can find another arrowhead later

[bleak hemlock]

capitalism ahh joker lineup

[opaque island]

Goodnight chat

[vocal rose]

one hit on rebate more than makes up for that

which is crazy

[bleak hemlock]

rebate is vewy fair and bawalanced

:3

[olive basin]

Blood stone means you ball

[primal grotto]

red deck gold stake conquered

[sullen mica]

ancient joker picks only suits i have or any?

[unreal iron]

picks all suits

[sullen mica]

🙁

[unreal iron]

not like castle

[primal grotto]

any that's why it sucks on checkered

[sullen mica]

castle my checkered goat

[unreal iron]

castle my goat

[sullen mica]

ngl i only play checkered xd

dont know what hand to focus on other decks

[primal grotto]

Don't you need to beat orange stake to unlock checkered?

[sullen mica]

yeah i played green for a while

then nothing except checkered

[latent egret]

pairs

[sullen mica]

like fr?

[latent egret]

yes

[sullen mica]

pair two pair what pair xd

[wintry ice]

pairs

ease of drawing + good enough chip scaling for how often it can be played

[hexed leaf]

which one

[hollow ferry]

whats to do on

[soft vapor]

Turtle bean prob

[hollow ferry]

IT PAID OFF!!!

[uncut matrix]

i would take todo or faceless

[uncut matrix]

this doesnt help at all

its early and they dont have money

[strong gale]

I finally cleared Anaglyph on gold stake and I did it in the dumbest way possible

skips only LOL

gg

[hollow ferry]

everywhere I go its always >looks inside…

[last bolt]

Quite the buffoon pack, ain't it?

[wintry ice]

3 dollars sell value

huge smeared synergy

[glad sequoia]

Not sure I've ever had this much money on green deck before lol

[ancient gyro]

i take the checkered joker

[gilded arch]

is this the dumbest gold stake win of all time

[hollow ferry]

yes

erosion 💔

[gilded arch]

I got erosion early and was committing to it until I got hologram and certificate

[glad sequoia]

Hologram goes crazy

[gilded arch]

but it was foiled so I feel kinda justified

[glad sequoia]

Trousers, blue seals, certificate and hologram were all you needed

[gilded arch]

also I got early observatory so it was over pretty quick haha

[glad sequoia]

Easy access to Uranus

[gilded arch]

at least I don’t have to gold sticker erosion

[ancient gyro]

contender for greatest baron sticker oat

[gilded arch]

I had 11 kings when I won

[ancient gyro]

i had zero

[gilded arch]

oh and also I got ante 1 rocket I had for most of the run

[ancient gyro]

decided that 7 hand cap was good enough for obby licks

[gilded arch]

nice

[nova matrix]

Easiest run of all time for me

[heavy heron]

dude

oh my god

[ancient gyro]

this vexes me

[wintry ice]

double aj checkered

[hollow ferry]

ok but what if ancient didnt land on spades or hearts

[heavy heron]

how do i always find the luckiest luchadors

[nova matrix]

We just ball

[heavy heron]

ALSO THAT WRAITH HIT IS CRAZY

[nova matrix]

If it wasn’t it photo Chad did enough

[glad sequoia]

Green deck can be fun

[nova matrix]

Green deck is my 2nd fav deck

[heavy heron]

anyways yes boring ahh run

yes i went supernova flushes

[nova matrix]

Yo

This guy likes Jupiter

[heavy heron]

desperate times called

[nova matrix]

He knows ball

[glad sequoia]

It's probably in my top 5. It mixes things up a lot

[nova matrix]

My personal favorite is anaglyph

[wintry ice]

i don't play green deck too often

[nova matrix]

That was my first gold stake

[ancient gyro]

i used to

[woven spire]

hi people that can’t read

[glad sequoia]

I always try to force red card and hologram builds on anaglyph from all the card pack skips. I like never skip but anaglyph has me do it sometimes

[nova matrix]

Chat what did he say? I can’t read

[ancient gyro]

it was up until the rotating streak attempt where I got sick of green deck slowly overtime

[woven spire]

lore accurate balatro player right here

[nova matrix]

I save it for either money or rare joker and pray for blueprint

I’m gonna do another run

Brb

[glad sequoia]

It's the most unique deck in the game after plasma imo

[ancient gyro]

anaglyph and unique in the same sentence

[glad sequoia]

I meant green deck my bad

[nova matrix]

Bloodstone

My beloved

On checkered deck

[glad sequoia]

Anaglyph is crazy vanilla

[strong gale]

just ball and skip everything on anaglyph

and pray you get a throwback

[nova matrix]

Oh my goodness

[glad sequoia]

Time to throw it back

[nova matrix]

Thank you local thunk

[hazy flame]

ayy let's gooo

[nova matrix]

Bloodstone is my favorite joker

[strong gale]

I actually just did win an anaglyph run by doing all skips LOL

[nova matrix]

2!; favorite

[glad sequoia]

The fact throw back scales as much for one skip as hologram does for adding a single card is nuts

[strong gale]

if it was any lower it'd be pretty bad

[glad sequoia]

And hologram can never be perishable either

[glad sequoia]

It's already terrible. I wish it was .5

[strong gale]

well in general I think Throwback is too niche to be really good

yeah

I usually only take it if I'm feeling silly or playing Anaglyph

[ocean yoke]

Yay

[ancient gyro]

key word "was"

then localcanadian gave it the silly indirect nerf

[strong gale]

Throwback still my goat tho

[glad sequoia]

If you skip every blind in a run and live it only gets up to 4x by ante 8 boss I think.

[strong gale]

if nobody got me I know throwback got me

[hazy flame]

i got 30/30 blinds now

[glad sequoia]

It's the solely the speed run joker lol

[molten thicket]

ITS THE 3RD SOUL DUDE

and there's still no ectoplasm in sight...

do i take it for the funny

oh i got chicot thats pretty good

[glad sequoia]

Chigoat

[dire crater]

Yeah its cool

[midnight viper]

degrace bloodstone embrace ancient joker

[ancient gyro]

i dont much care for either

[glad sequoia]

My favorite joker is either madness or Canio, but it makes me sad I can never use both at the same time

[ancient gyro]

technically you can use both

[glad sequoia]

In the eternal challenge I think

I think that's stuck on white stake though

[ancient gyro]

im saying in any setting

unless for some reason you're playing on 1.0

[glad sequoia]

I mean madness would just nom the canio at some point. It wouldn't be a reliable set up

[hazy flame]

fast

[rare matrix]

im having difficulty with the fish blind.

[ancient gyro]

kid named full skipping when high enough

[heady narwhal]

the fish is tricky

[olive basin]

Yes!

[trim notch]

Labububu

[rare matrix]

yeah

[glad sequoia]

You would have to be really high

[heady narwhal]

i think it mostly jusg takes getting used to ... the only advice i can think of is "alternate-ish hands and discards rather than starting off by using both discards" and "play pairs"

[ancient gyro]

you only need it to be around x3 with another x mult already active

[heady narwhal]

also you can figure out what thw facedown cards are (to some extent) by changing between rank & suit sorting

[ancient gyro]

x mult jokers can perform exponentially

[ancient gyro]

and holding a card from the playing hand to draw animation

knowing suit order is decent niche tech for something as small as steel card timing on face down bosses

making steel clubs slightly preferred in two scenarios I can think of at the top of my head regarding stm

[heavy heron]

ancient run..!! wahoo!!! criminal that my last hand wasn’t a flush though

[desert niche]

you call that an "ancient" run?

[heavy heron]

lemme see the final hand 🙄 🙄

omg wait there’s a baron

should’ve taken the baron duh 😍

[desert niche]

i skipped the baron

i was commited

[heavy heron]

you know what’s funny though

you have 5 scoring 0 retrigger

so your score will be high but

even one retrigger will make it better

[desert niche]

alternatively i have 1 scoring 4 retrigger

also i had red seal jacks so i actually have 1 retrigger

[heavy heron]

as it is here you’ll get 25 hits

[heavy heron]

OH

ok

[desert niche]

yehh

[heavy heron]

i want to see what your score looks like

[desert niche]

with 3 red seals it was 497,018,745

thats all the information i have

and it was before invis

point is: my run was more ancient

[scenic siren]

hi...

[heavy heron]

i’m proud of you

[heavy heron]

hi :)

[desert niche]

anyways

[heavy heron]

also i’m on gold stake cough

BUT YES

your ancient run

is more ancient

[scenic siren]

should I change my name from my joker and deck count to my card/hand glaze

[heavy heron]

yes

[desert niche]

i need some gold stake nerd to help me make a decision here

[scenic siren]

idk should i do hand or joker

[heavy heron]

how much is runner on?

[desert niche]

120 chips

[heavy heron]

okay i mean listen

you have a source of chips

no source of flat mult that’ll trigger before baron

so like

[desert niche]

its a lot tho

[ancient gyro]

change it to whatever im repping rn but with more rizz

[glad sequoia]

Oh sure, I'll take a free win lol

[heavy heron]

you can’t ankh, first off, it’ll kill your runner

and kill you

since no chips

[heavy heron]

wait what’s the decision you’re asking about?

[scenic siren]

no seeing double

[heavy heron]

i think it’s pretty simple

[scenic siren]

my glazed joker lol

[desert niche]

so no ankh

got it

[heavy heron]

skip ankh, take déjà vu and put it on a king and keep trying

[desert niche]

kinda sad

[heavy heron]

no i think that’d kill you

[desert niche]

but okay

[heavy heron]

if you had

some pluto or mercury levels

then maybe

but you don’t

so you need runner

[desert niche]

yeh

[strange sentinel]

Soooo, what way do I order these jokers 😅

I feel its either trib or chad all the way to the left but idk which one

[glad sequoia]

I mean it wouldn't be terrible lol

[scenic siren]

well, my new name suggests my opinion...

[desert niche]

why do people have to "glaze" specific things in balatro

[scenic siren]

why not

[desert niche]

every joker and card is good in the right situation

[warm jasper]

I know you 🫵

[mossy finch]

how do i scale it faster than the upcoming ante

[scenic siren]

thats... rarely true

[desert niche]

rarely, but is so.

[scenic siren]

i would agree for most of them

[warm jasper]

I think Trib being on the very left is the only thing that really matters

[ancient gyro]

to give newer players that require guidance a bit of a clearer roadmap for self learning

some ppl express it better than others

[heady narwhal]

no

[scenic siren]

true ^^^

[heady narwhal]

most of them, to be sure

not "every" card

[ancient gyro]

and some ppl want to win all of their runs, not just the good ones

[scenic siren]

idc if I win every run, I just care that the one I win was a fun experience

[strange sentinel]

I feel like this is bait

[scenic siren]

remove brainstorm trust

[desert niche]

i just got negative ancient joker?? why??

[scenic siren]

dont do that

[heady narwhal]

i think if you e.g. play gold stake without knowing about pair builds it'll be way harder to actually win a run

[wintry ice]

stuff like pareidolia and splash are mediocre at best in their optimal scenario

[pale wolf]

glazing is a stupid term

[wintry ice]

and do you count endless in these situations

[ancient gyro]

i mean in the sense that i can play more of the game other than the restricted set of jokers that can come into mind for most players.

[desert niche]

ive had a really good pareidolia run recently

[pale wolf]

thats like saying the human body needs water to survive is glazing water

[desert niche]

and splash can be pretty good in the right situation

[scenic siren]

i would not say that for pareidolia, but yes for splash

[heady narwhal]

i think this is wrong because pareidolia's highest possible value is very very good

[ancient gyro]

pari is at best an econ enabler

[pale wolf]

yea pareidolia does full midas deck

[heady narwhal]

midas mask, parking, and faceless in particular

[mossy finch]

does burglar help?

[wintry ice]

true

[scenic siren]

you just need like s&b, faceless, etc

[ancient gyro]

which is something I have usability for since a lot of common rarity and good jokers tie along with in terms of value gen

[wintry ice]

i'd only swap dna out after ante 24

if you even get there

[mossy finch]

I can try

[wintry ice]

how much are you scoring and how much does the current ante need

[scenic siren]

i actually dont get the point of not glazing a joker. it just expresses what you like to play most often, especially if its hand specific, unlike mine lol

[unborn cliff]

👀

[ancient gyro]

well i have one for content creator spite purposes

for general advice I just default to unconditional scoring

[scenic siren]

it doesnt have to be your most played

[heady narwhal]

i think knowing which jokers are "good" and "bad" is still helpful when i don't have access to the "good" jokers

[weary elm]

Today marks the one year anniversary of my first Balatro win

[desert niche]

TWO POLYCHROME YORI KS??

[weary elm]

Yessir

[scenic siren]

today would be the marker for my 5 day anniversary of my first balatro win

[heady narwhal]

like it helps to be aware that i don't have any good xmult and i can make decisions based on that

[weary elm]

I’m guessing I Ankhed

[scenic siren]

like Seeing Double

[weak relic]

is it worth it

[unborn cliff]

which joker(s) do you guys think would be incels

[ancient gyro]

if you had antimatter prob

[weak relic]

no anti yet

ill skip for now

[heady narwhal]

i don't want to play grimbo + squimbo + the duo + campfire + blackboard in the same way that i would play erosion + stone joker + loyalty card + throwback + mr bones for instance

[ancient gyro]

baron

[scenic siren]

Credit Card instantly came to mind idk why

[unborn cliff]

barons are well known to get with women all the time

[weary elm]

The guy that gives chips when your hand contains a flush

[ancient gyro]

not this one

[scenic siren]

is that the Devious one?

[unborn cliff]

baron mime is the only straight couple in balatro

[heady narwhal]

crafty

[scenic siren]

ah

[unborn cliff]

all jokers are women and baron is the only joker known to be male

[ancient gyro]

the baron we have believes in misogyny and is canonically gay

[glad sequoia]

Throwback

[unborn cliff]

so you're saying women cant be mimes? bigot.

[warm jasper]

photochad

both of them

[ancient gyro]

they can pretend to be anybody

in reddit lore we call it

[strange sentinel]

Oops, found an observatory 😂

[ancient gyro]

an incident

[scenic siren]

Credit Card is just very fitting in my head for that role.

[weary elm]

Devious is straights

Crafty is flush

[scenic siren]

well I don't play either so I wouldn't know

[weary elm]

This guy is an incel

[scenic siren]

nah

its 100% Credit Card

[turbid lantern]

Whenever I beat the game

It has somehow always, always, been when I was outside my own house or city

My house was cursed by the rng gods apparently

[paper osprey]

sometimes Im still amazed at what you can create in this game

[desert niche]

i think my run's going pretty well

ancient actually saved me

brianstorm aswell

[scenic siren]

3x ancient is wild

only problem is that its at the start twice

[nova matrix]

Lemm show you something nan

[desert niche]

ahem

[nova matrix]

Man

[weak relic]

got antimatter. god run incoming

[desert niche]

the ancient glaze

[nova matrix]

Ancient joker and bloodstone are my 2 favorites

[scenic siren]

oh...

yall, how should i get Onyx Agate

[sullen mica]

just got trading card pareidolia canio, does the trading card destroy debuffed cards? and do they stack canio?

[scenic siren]

idk how to get 26 clubs

[nova matrix]

Just check and refresh

[sullen mica]

cuz im pretty sure it didnt give me a stack of mult

[fickle mesa]

do u know how plasma works

[nova matrix]

Just open

Card packs

And tarot packs

[tender laurel]

Nice, gl!
