[gentle island]

I got an Ouija

[candid niche]

also interesting

[cloud dirge]

Have 10 hours in the game and finally got a wicked (died ante 13) run ( i know bad order, had to get the shot after buying)

[gentle island]

Round 4 🙏

[shadow shore]

How tf

Im guessinf chad hex ankh then the rest

[brave fox]

Invisible hit on the yorick , I need discards 🥲

[candid niche]

i want to play House here so that my 3oak stays strong. does this win?

[cloud dirge]

ecto'd the blueprint later on into invis into third chad

[unborn cliff]

what level is 3oak

[candid niche]

yeah i calculated it by hand, it wins i think

[candid niche]

7

[unborn cliff]

just play 3oak man

level 6 on ante 4 will be fine

[candid niche]

:(

my poor levels

[unborn cliff]

woman

[candid niche]

i like how turning "man" into "woman" turns the sentence from "bro just play 3oak" to "play 3oak, woman"

oh man, planet merchant is carrying my levels

[unborn cliff]

well you make me sound like an incel when you say it like that

[candid niche]

ive never found so many of any planet without telescope

[unborn cliff]

tsk... foids..

[candid niche]

tch, balatroids

oh, i found a Justice

this will save me from Plant

not exactly a pressing issue, but its good to have a safety net

[unborn cliff]

why are there no flat mult jokers in my game

[sullen lintel]

Can boss blinds show up twice in an ante 8 run without a reroll tag or retcon/directors cut?

[candid niche]

i ate them

[unborn cliff]

no

[sullen lintel]

Ok

[unborn cliff]

your greed sickens me

[candid niche]

never punished

[unborn cliff]

these foids man

[shell dagger]

no but they almost can

[sullen lintel]

Now I have a bigger question

[shell dagger]

actually ignore me

[unborn cliff]

?

[sullen lintel]

If I reroll into a boss blind (like plant) and beat it early game will it take it out of the pool for later

[shell dagger]

yes

until you exhaust the pool

[sullen lintel]

Ok

[candid niche]

yeah, well, my question is bigger

[unborn cliff]

you have to cycle through every other boss blind before you can go against the same boss

[pale wolf]

you would have to try to do it

lol

[candid niche]

question

see? so much bigger

[shell dagger]

but if you exhaust the pool then you likely already have the voucher so it’s fine

[candid niche]

[pale wolf]

does

[candid niche]

my sixth sense is sleeping due to not drawing 6s

oh man. i really want to take spoker here to be funny

is that stupid

[shell dagger]

Yeah

[pale wolf]

idk

[candid niche]

i mean, i'm only playing 3oak

[pale wolf]

id rather just money tree

[candid niche]

fair...

[full glade]

Which do we reckon i take

[candid niche]

....and as soon as 6th sense wakes up, it gives me ankh

thanks, thats so useless

[shell dagger]

Cat

[wheat haven]

Okay guys this is where I struggle, do i take discard voucher?

[candid niche]

i really need to fix my deck

[shell dagger]

nah

id take sly tho

[wheat haven]

thank you 🙂

[sullen lintel]

Personal preference really

[turbid nova]

I got this combo early game

[sullen lintel]

"Do I want to gamble 2 dollars of interest and the possibility of not clearing ante 1 boss for an extra discard"

I would if I were you

Unless youre planning on playing high card or pairs

Then avoid it you don't need it

[cloud sinew]

i would take sly over the voucher

[wheat haven]

I took sly, Im just out here tryin to get my last few joker stickers again

[candid niche]

ok clearly something is wrong

....shit

its Vessel

and i didnt find any more scoring

i had to use my backup Justice to win...

how am i so weak??

this run is like, nearly perfect

....i found Trio.

[full glade]

Fucking awful lock not one trigger for 4 antes

[candid niche]

this is somehow ridiculously weak

and i'm about to lose to The Wall

[acoustic kettle]

No hand levels maybe

[candid niche]

level 16 3oak

....man

i don't know what went wrong

i literally didnt find any good jokers for the run

no sock, no bs/bp, nothing

...i feel cheated

[heady narwhal]

onyx agate is a good joker

[candid niche]

yeah but it didnt really do anything

i couldnt even find deck fixing

[heady narwhal]

i mean you won

[candid niche]

i had to discard a bajillion numbers every blind

[heady narwhal]

that's something

[candid niche]

true....

[acoustic kettle]

Photochad will die like ante 12 anyway

[brave fox]

Another invisible, guess the smiley face can go, I never had triple legends before 😬 let's see what happens

[acoustic kettle]

Even this dies on ante 15

[candid niche]

guys how tf are you supposed to play Red Card

[night bridge]

Build a good economy first so you can afford to skip packs

[sullen lintel]

Build econ then skip standards and arcanas that dont contain money

And planets that dont contain your hand

[candid niche]

i lost

[gentle island]

Average round 1 shop

[sullen lintel]

Something something credit card buffoon pack immolate spectral

Holy 1 dollar short nvm

[gentle island]

I know 😭

buffoon pack was nothing good

[sullen lintel]

Buy brainstorm then sell it for money for spectral

Clearly

Immolate and wraith inside spectral for blueprint and money

Thats what'd I do

[gentle island]

Here is where I am at rn I think once this is done Ima open that spectral and see if its a god seed

[candid niche]

what???

[vague sequoia]

Interesting

[gentle island]

is this allowed 🫤

[night bridge]

Thats a weird looking greenbo

[candid niche]

doubtful

[acoustic kettle]

Do not the grimbo

[flint dust]

I hate the stupid red rock

[candid niche]

should i take Hal?

[flint dust]

stupid red rock is only good whe you have the green rock with it...

[night bridge]

Cartomancer already guarantees you 2 tarots at the start

[flint dust]

no you have cartomancer

[candid niche]

fair

dang it

i got ancient joker'ed

he's on Hearts, but the Head is coming

lets hope i can find Luchador

wait

i'm stupid

oh my god

[lunar zealot]

I looooooove hangovers

[candid niche]

i just lost because i thought it was on hearts

it wasnt

[acoustic kettle]

[lunar zealot]

do i send the image

[candid niche]

safe Carter vs speculative Mime

[lunar zealot]

WAIT

DID I FULFILL MY GOAL OF POSTING THIS IMAGE 100 TIMES BEFORE 2026

Probably not

[candid niche]

...how am i supposed to know

do i take Carter or Mime

[zinc karma]

If u truly believe, yes, u did

Congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[lunar zealot]

god im so hungover rn

[zinc karma]

Carter

[candid niche]

wow, very funny, Carter

[scarlet belfry]

thats enough balatro

[abstract rivet]

Did u do the holding unto joker thing

[scarlet belfry]

i forgot to

[abstract rivet]

Like if u have + mult you hold unto the joker to make sure its all the way to the left

[scarlet belfry]

i got my jokers into the placement i wanted to

[gentle island]

When you take two rare skips and get thsi

[scarlet belfry]

why do other people get to have fun man

[warped moth]

May you win your struggle runs this year 💜

[acoustic kettle]

Terrible hits

[warped moth]

$8 I guess

[gentle island]

and on that deck too

[warped moth]

Or $4 and some potential

Oh wait eternal

I can't read

[gentle island]

and the potential you are talking about? its abandoned deck

I reset

because im not wasting anti 1 for that

[warped moth]

Driver's license

[candid niche]

is eggbuckler worth it here

[acoustic kettle]

Blueprint in first ante

[gentle island]

I mean I am not getting off the ground easily its purple stake

[candid niche]

have you tried jumping

[warped moth]

3X is 3X 🤷‍♂️ when you're desperate or if you wanna do a funny play you can just keep that joker until it eventually becomes useful

[gentle island]

Good thinking

[night bridge]

I dont see why not

[warped moth]

Potentially better than your other 2 mult sources if you keep egg for long enough

[lunar zealot]

x3 mult is good

license is just blackboard but requiring good econ

[warped moth]

Yeahh ^

[lost nova]

How the freako do u beat purple-gold stake guaranteed most of the time

[lunar zealot]

Play pairs

[warped moth]

• enhanced cards on abandoned isn't really the worst of plays

Score boosts by cards are always welcome

[warped moth]

Play seeded

[echo tartan]

be doc spectred

[lost nova]

Yeah yeah I get that but what else should I do

[lost nova]

Not rlly a fan of seeded

[gentle island]

Cheat

[night bridge]

Good econ ig is the main thing so you can see more jokers/stuff to help you

[brave fox]

They really blessing me this run 😩

[warped moth]

Jokes aside, unless you're a god and you do microplays and optimize the fun hell out of a run, losing runs is very much expected in high stakes. Can't have a guaranteed win, not just always but even most of the time

Embrace losses and learn from them 😌

[lost nova]

Jimbos aside?

[warped moth]

Jimbos aside indeed

[lost nova]

[brave fox]

I managed to reset and keep my negative showman too 👀

[acoustic kettle]

If jimbo is joker

Is joke jimb

[distant salmon]

couple of rare jokers

[lunar zealot]

to play pairs is superfluous; rather, pairs are a 'canvas' - an easy hand you can play almost all the time, allowing for enormous flexibility when it comes to joker usage
to start, note 'scaling +mult jokers': as mercury does not have good +mult per use, among other reasons, a +mult joker is typically necessary. ride the bus, green joker, and supernova scale off of hands played; red card off of packs skipped, etc.
next, if possible, find an econ or util joker to stabilize and begin rerolling for a scaling +chips joker like square joker or castle, or a xmult joker like hologram
from there it's rather straightforward: play pairs, scale your jokers, make money, win

[distant vault]

K

[distant salmon]

how do i beat checkered deck

[acoustic kettle]

Flushes

[lunar zealot]

pairs or flushes

idk ask vayn

[acoustic kettle]

Play flushes

Save the pairs for other decks

[distant salmon]

ok

[gentle island]

now that is what I call a rare skip

[distant salmon]

smear joker and ancient joker on checkered deck good?

[acoustic kettle]

Smeared does nothing

[distant salmon]

oh

whats he good for then

[acoustic kettle]

Smeared makes the same colored suit the same

[quartz ember]

wdym

[acoustic kettle]

Checkered deck

[distant salmon]

oh

[acoustic kettle]

Checkered only has spades as black and hearts as red

[quartz ember]

yes thats a fine combo

[acoustic kettle]

Smeared does nothing

[quartz ember]

(tho just -1 joker slot compared to any other deck)

[hard mantle]

trying to figure out high card
it's not going well but i'll get it down soon enough

[distant salmon]

i gotta learn how to scale better aswell

[acoustic kettle]

Blue seal

[serene forge]

if this is weird you probably need some deep introspection

[distant salmon]

im buying every arcana pack

i want a leg card

[hard mantle]

felt... my record is only like ante 10 ^^;

[distant salmon]

yuh

same

[hard mantle]

i also have like 4 wins but i restart runs constantly

[quartz ember]

best being ante 10 doesnt really have anything to do with how well you know to scale

[distant salmon]

same

[hard mantle]

cannot believe i bought this game yesterday and yet i've been this hooked

[distant salmon]

to get like a rare joker or double tags

[hard mantle]

i mean.. isnt it? even at lower amounts of scaling, you still have to scale up

not everyone can make builds that get into the millions in like 2 antes </3

[quartz ember]

yes, but you cant just scale 10x in one ante with basic jokers and planet levels

[distant salmon]

I LOVE HANGING CHAD SO MUCH

[hard mantle]

same!!! trying to get it so i can do a high card run

[quartz ember]

you are confusing endless mode, which is all about econ, with ante 8 games, which is about consistent scaling sources of +chips, +mult, and some xmult

[hard mantle]

i feel like im walking into a university level class when i havent even graduated middle school, no offense

[quartz ember]

always have some money at hand

try to get a source of chips and +mult and econ/other value generation

[hard mantle]

also fuck black deck is kicking my ass

[quartz ember]

note that source of +mult or chips can also be planet levels

[desert quiver]

I mean it does seem a little weird.
I imagine it builds up mult fast though.

[gentle island]

was this a bad decision

It was infact not a bad decision

[desert quiver]

Its ante 1, I do this a lot and imo this isnt too bad.
You only need to score about 150 chips per hand and you should be fine.

[desert quiver]

Yeah! 😋

[desert quiver]

Get the seed money for extra moneys.

[gentle island]

Thats what I was ss

[royal ore]

honestly seeded runs should not count towards your stats (e.g. amount of rounds completed with a joker, most used planets, etc)

[gentle island]

agreed

[warped moth]

GG fifth page!!
Gold Seltzer marks the goldening of all food jokers!!

[scarlet belfry]

I HATE THIS GAME

dude

i got the best jokers ive ever seen

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[blissful fog]

Close call

[brave fox]

Looking like it might end soon here, not bad for a last run for the year

[atomic trout]

A bit close hehe

[atomic trout]

How Erradic is your Deck?

[blissful fog]

Yea

[vague kettle]

wait what was the seed about again

[heavy heron]

happy new year balatro guys

[atomic trout]

The Deck. What's it like

[blissful fog]

Ramdomizes the cards(type, amount) in your deck. Like for example, You could get 12 diamond aces out of 52 cards, or 5 heart of kings, etc

The randomization is based on the seed

[dreamy creek]

balala

[atomic trout]

I get that haha

[blissful fog]

Cool

[white forge]

Reached my final form

[pallid ferry]

balatro buddies, i gotta do my last run of the year..

[fervent wolf]

Happy New Years Balatro Chat!!!!

[silk hull]

The more I play nebula deck the more I kinda realize I hate it

[compact bay]

Happy new year for balatro🎉🎉

[ripe iris]

verdant leaf is not a real boss

[pallid ferry]

3 jokers is all it takes

also yellow deck gold stake cleared

[lunar zealot]

Jimbo carries

[pallid ferry]

he appeared in the last shop before the boss blind and decided to get him a gold sticker lol

-# also he def gave me good luck on this boss blind because it almost didnt select a card i can play into an ancient joker flush 😨

[rocky tiger]

I just beat purple stake for the first time how on earth do i beat orange stake now

[pallid ferry]

NOOOOO

[uneven dust]

You suffer😔

[rocky tiger]

i got so lucky too

im so cooked

[lunar zealot]

Happy new year

[lapis blade]

[past spade]

Still ass at anything over white stake

[atomic trout]

White Stakes is fun though

[past spade]

[fringe crest]

happy new years guys

2026 WILL be my year

[nova mantle]

Happye new years

[covert storm]

Is the wee joker good???

Like should I try to make a deck around it

[fringe crest]

depends

but generally

yes

[nova mantle]

It's a pretty good chip scaler

[covert storm]

Bet will try then

Thank you king

[nova mantle]

But you do need a hanging chad or playing something like a 4oak to scale it properly

[fringe crest]

i like to scale it early game then if i want to i can just stop playing twos cuz the difference wont be as major

[nova mantle]

It's kinda like spare trousers where you can play two pair through certain antes and then pivot if you find obelisk for example

[acoustic kettle]

Wee is the best chip scaler in the game

[edgy ivy]

Havnt showered in a year
Let's go for 2 now keep the streak going

[scenic siren]

YOU SAID IT WRONG

at least i hope

[potent tree]

happy new year balatronians

[acoustic kettle]

Jimblings

[eternal pumice]

Happy new year btw guys

[acoustic kettle]

Turn into cavendish for 2026

[scenic siren]

yes

You've ripened

and once you fail your resolution you rot again

[eternal pumice]

Im way too drunk for ts

[scenic siren]

lol

[olive basin]

Gros michel when will you expire so I can get cavendish?

I need it to win my run

[nova mantle]

Bring in the dice

[covert storm]

Nor the 10 or 5 want to drop lmfaooo

Just wanted a straight

[nova mantle]

Shoulda wished that in your new years resolutions

[eternal pumice]

Never

[olive basin]

I still have to gold sticker you

You’re by far the most challenging joker I have encountered for beating Balatro

Even more challenging than matador

[thick junco]

Man, first game on PC

[olive basin]

New Year new challenges

[thick junco]

Literally lmao

[sly bolt]

hello chat I'm pretty new to the game, how do I unlock the scribbled joker?

[thick junco]

I wanna beat this by tomorrow (or today) and make sure I can get to Green Stake so my progress is same across

[olive basin]

You mean brainstorm?

[sly bolt]

idk the name

it looks like a tissue with scribbles on it

[thick junco]

Does it copy an ability?

There

[sly bolt]

idk

[thick junco]

Is it this

[sly bolt]

THAT ONE

[thick junco]

Discard a royal flush

[sly bolt]

that sounds hard :<

[thick junco]

Which is basically Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10 all of the same color and symbol

[thick junco]

Make a game on the normal stake, get tarot cards that turn it into a specfic color and hope you get lucky :)

Or spectral deck

[olive basin]

A natural royal flush yes

But you can fix your deck to make sure you get the royal flush

[sly bolt]

difficult 😭

[thick junco]

Just hope you get lucky

[sly bolt]

am not

[olive basin]

Stove I say let them suffer it a challenge let them learn

It will be more rewarding

[thick junco]

Lmao alright

[olive basin]

lol

[thick junco]

Dude

I need to find both Blueprint and Brainstorm on my PC

Because I switched from Apple Arcade to PC today itself

[toxic wolf]

This sounds relatively fine on checkered deck.

[candid niche]

whats the best case for Invisibmo here

[olive basin]

Valid I didn’t think about that

[toxic wolf]

I guess I have to do that too, lmao.

[olive basin]

Oh lmao

[thick junco]

Huh

Maybe I've been losing Green Stake is because I only play the blue deck

[acoustic kettle]

Blue deck is one of the easier decks

[thick junco]

Oh lmao

I like it

[outer rover]

I just had to pick up the paredolia didn’t I

[thick junco]

My favorite deck

[toxic wolf]

I like blue deck, but checkered is such a crutch.

[olive basin]

In reality black deck and green deck will be a nightmare

[thick junco]

I love paredollia

[candid niche]

whats the best case scenario here? constellation is at 2.2x

[thick junco]

What does Checkered do?

[candid niche]

(invisible is active right now)

[toxic wolf]

Only heart and spades, easy flushes all day.

[candid niche]

your deck has 2 copies of the spade and heart suits

[thick junco]

Ooh

[outer rover]

You can just do this to instantly unlock everything. It disables achievements, though.

[sly bolt]

no

that is lame af

[olive basin]

Based

Don’t ever do that

[candid niche]

the hell is scribbled joker

do you mean Smeared Joker?

[sly bolt]

nooooo

[olive basin]

Brain storm

[outer rover]

They were referring to Brainstorm

[candid niche]

or like... brainstorm?

[outer rover]

Nobody plays balatro to unlock jokers bro

[thick junco]

I wanna do this on anotherr player account just to have fun

[candid niche]

oh. in that case, all you need to do is discard a royal flush

[toxic wolf]

But achievements are fun.

[olive basin]

I gambled my way to the top

[toxic wolf]

Seriously, you have to put your on the line.

[outer rover]

I guess. Was never really much of a trophy hunter in games

[candid niche]

my Invisimbo copies Constellation

[candid niche]

⌚

[olive basin]

Yes, you could click a button and unlock everything in mere seconds but that is no fun there no challenge and no reward

Reset your profile and give it a try

[outer rover]

The challenge is that I can instantly go and play Gold Stake on Ghost Deck instead of slaving away for a couple hundred hours

Yes I do so love starting off with thirty trash jokers

Misprint and Lusty Joker all day so I can die at ante 3

So much fun

[olive basin]

You know everything about balatro should it not be easy to clear through stakes and unlock jokers?

[sly bolt]

that must be so exciting

[outer rover]

Not with Superposition and Misprint lol

[outer rover]

Yes, the part of the game everybody plays is exciting

[sly bolt]

so true

[olive basin]

I mean you’re having fun so I guess it doesn’t really matter

I won’t convince you any further I prefer to suffer lol

[sly bolt]

yeah no I much prefer a more natural progression thank you

[outer rover]

And I don’t. That’s okay. I was giving you a suggestion in case you wanted to get into all the game has to offer ASAP

[sly bolt]

sorry yeah no I'd rather not do that

it's much more fun for me to unlock everything naturally

to each their own, but I don't see why you'd be aggressive about it

[outer rover]

I was not meaning to. Forgive me if I came off that way

[sly bolt]

at least to me it does, idk

yeah it's alright, dw

[cloud sinew]

suboptimal blueprint

canio is x12

[upbeat ruin]

broooo

[cloud sinew]

even if you had $10 I'd take Michel here

[sly bolt]

banana tbh

[outer rover]

Just do what I would do and copy the seed and use it for a yellow deck run

[sly bolt]

banana that dies in 1 or 25 rounds no in between

[sly bolt]

what is this

I don't play games sorry

[outer rover]

I wanted to cringe at this so much but that was lowk funny lol

[olive basin]

Lol

[olive basin]

This is from a game called undertale

[sly bolt]

ok

[outer rover]

Start with Metal Gear Solid, thank me later

[olive basin]

I need to play that

[outer rover]

It’ll change your life man trust me

If you want I have a playing order guide I made that I can give you

[olive basin]

Right now I’m playing undertale, deltarune, and binding of isaac

[upbeat ruin]

what do i do

[outer rover]

Right now I’m playing Expedition 33, Nier Replicant, and Assassin’s Creed 2

[olive basin]

I will gladly take that please

[outer rover]

DMs

[graceful arrow]

Happy new year balatro

balatro: thanks

[upbeat ruin]

first orange stake victory

i hope

yes

yay

[wary zodiac]

i decided to watch balatro university

i am enlightened

also this is the weakest possible boss blind i could've had thrown at me 😭

im literally playing level one high card

[rocky tiger]

How are you alive

[shadow shore]

Bro hit randomize and went with it

[candid niche]

uhhhhh who dies for the soul

this is on the Omelette challenge

cloud 9 is giving me $7 per round

and swashbuckler currently is +130

[wary zodiac]

careful planning

i picked up square early to get chip scaling, a popcorn to keep me alive

and i got a lot of it

an even steven along with the burglar gave me a LOT of time to farm

because it would win

but really slowly

i got green joker ante four

got a ramen

dropped the ramen for card sharp

then got a negative ramen off a skip tag i took for fun

[wary zodiac]

it makes sense if you look at it close enough

this is like

a gold stake build honestly 😭

its not particularly fun, but it wins

[wary zodiac]

holy

[candid niche]

it gets better

we transitioned from eggs to tribs

orange stake and i picked up eternal riff raff r1 bc it was funny

ive made it through by pulling random bullshit with steel mime and glass cards somehow

genuinely as soon as that poly joker gets eaten by madness i just lose

it just got eaten 😭

[old flower]

this might be a really dumb question, but what is the card skin/texture pack you have? i have seen a lot of youtubers with it as well but cant find it

[rocky tiger]

unfortunate how close this was

[candid niche]

its built in

go to settings and click customize deck

there are several options for each suit

(also, high contrast cards helps)

[old flower]

Random Balatro Fact:
You can make a card score when it shouldn't by having it a stone card and then converted into a non stone card while it is being played, while it no longer give +50 chips like it's meant to, it will however still be played

Alr bet

Then lost

Found sock

[placid cave]

i love tag skips

[cosmic harbor]

[vocal matrix]

How much do you have on holo?

[acoustic kettle]

Depends on how fat holo is

[distant thunder]

[obsidian patrol]

if its more than 2x then its better to copy holo

[distant thunder]

BOOTSRAPS CAME IN CLUTCH 🗣️

[granite sandal]

first run of 2026 went okay i think

[thorny axle]

deadass i think this is the world's first ankh without eternals

[gentle island]

Man why did it block my gif

are gifs banned

[shadow shore]

You can run from it, destiny arrives all the same

[pale wolf]

tenor is disabled

[gentle island]

aww

why is that?

[pale wolf]

because if it wasnt, you'd use it

it ends up being spammy and unproductive for discussion

[gentle island]

aww

Why cant I press use?

This is a bug right?

[thorny axle]

you have one consumable slot.

you are holding a Pluto.

[gentle island]

Oh bruh ofc

I have never used this deck before

[unreal iron]

lebron james reportedly used the emperor on the nebula deck

how could you bro

[thorny axle]

balatro player read challenge (impossible)

lebron james reportedly bought seed money on green deck

[gentle island]

Well if lebron james did it then so should I

[white forge]

Insane shop

[fallow fog]

sell perkeo

🤪

[white forge]

Should I

[molten thicket]

sell the perkeo.

[solemn sonnet]

ts laced!!

i hate black deck

anyway i got natural negative even steven so im blessed now

[unreal iron]

2^6 x 5 currently

oh god do i have to do math for this

getting the s&b should be better than a brainstorm tho

[white forge]

I just went full perk

[solemn sonnet]

okay i win

black deck green stake completed

[solemn sonnet]

i win again because of hieroglyph voucher

[wicked moat]

Hieroglyph is op

[unreal iron]

white stake is too op

wdym less scoring requirements and no stickers on the jokers

[jolly relic]

gosh

eternal blueprint and then the next reroll literally eternal brainstorm

[white forge]

I’m gonna sell all my eris at the end with this

[solemn sonnet]

#blessed

black deck on black stake and got yorick

🤔

[trail acorn]

ultimate strat

[urban root]

I got five copying jokers

Tf man

That is crazy

That one scary face is doing all the work LOLZ

[white forge]

Mythical nat negative jimbo

[urban root]

What kinda seed is that?

[white forge]

Unseeded

[upper schooner]

hey, i am a new player and i don't understand this joker, isn't a perma bonus so with it's a good one ?

[solemn sonnet]

burnt joker makes it so when you enter a round, the first hand that you discard gets leveled up
ex:
the round started, you select a pair and discard it, pair gets leveled up
same with every single other hand
only works once per round

[upper schooner]

yes but i loose the level I got in the round ?

[solemn sonnet]

no

you dont

[upper schooner]

ohhhhh ok

i understand thank you ^^

[solemn sonnet]

😔

[half void]

well it was fun 🙁

[serene forge]

found this obelisk in ante 6, red card at +84

[white forge]

200 x $20 eris

[strange sentinel]

Kinda debating selling a joker to take the DNA, I'm trying to play 5oak 2's for the wee, but the amount of 2's I have in the deck is still very low.

If I take it and sell another joker - will I have enough scoring to survive?

Also - if you would sell a joker and take DNA, which joker would you sell?

[wicked moat]

I misclicked and reset Ride the Bus from like 50 to 0, in round 8 gold stake. Threw away an easy win

[upper schooner]

that's my best setup !

[upper schooner]

since I started playing the game

[quartz ember]

nice

[upper schooner]

i am a little bit proud of me 😂

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[quartz ember]

nice

[unreal vine]

Worst early in ghost deck be like

Naaah

It could be exquisite

[visual flax]

whats the best order here

[visual flax]

ruined by chicot

[distant thunder]

blueprint and brainstorm on burning joker , then one on mime one on baron

the best numbers are when the amount of barons/mimes is the closest to eachother

[visual flax]

awesome

thanks

gonna hit naneinf for the first time with this

[distant thunder]

yea if u get lucky with some ectoplasm even more assured

[hollow ferry]

youre going to need a lot of cryptids

[visual flax]

but that lessens my hand size kinda sucks, if i come across i might get

[visual flax]

yea i think around 40?

[distant thunder]

yes but u play highcard and if u can destroy or replace some cards that dont help you it wont be an issue

[visual flax]

yea i use hanging man on useless cards

[distant thunder]

yea thats awesome

Some deaths aswell If u come across

[visual flax]

oh yea i have

wait

this

i need to turn it into a king then chariot

[distant thunder]

some strenghts for it would do wonders

[visual flax]

if i get some

[distant thunder]

yuh

[visual flax]

haha i just got a strength

now i just need one chariot

which ante is the best time to hit naneinf?

[distant thunder]

that i do not know

[hollow ferry]

the ante where you get the serpent

[lunar zealot]

Yknow for someone who's never even remotely built a 3x3 piston door without a tutorial i'm shocked i managed to make a triple piston extender on my own

This is the wrong server

[hollow ferry]

👍

[visual flax]

i just noticed the burnt joker glazer in your username

peak

[distant thunder]

ikr

[visual flax]

hhaa yea

[lunar zealot]

do you have an econ joker

should make your job much easier

[distant thunder]

very reliable and keeps its value

[visual flax]

i had dna

[lunar zealot]

That's util not econ

[visual flax]

i have like 300$

[lunar zealot]

now THAT'S econ

[visual flax]

econ is booming

i mean i dont need anything else, just one more chariot and im good to go

[lunar zealot]

do you have perkeo?

what's your plan

[visual flax]

look

[lunar zealot]

keep duping cryptids

I was gonna say you can rip it but you're on ghost deck

you'll need at least like 60 cryptids i think

idk ask rt

[visual flax]

60?????

[lunar zealot]

You got lots of time

[visual flax]

ive seen people getting naneinf with like 40

[lunar zealot]

They're on plasma probably

[visual flax]

ah

maybe

[lunar zealot]

plasma has the ^2 mult that ghost doesn't

[visual flax]

yea

i dont have plasma yet haha

[lunar zealot]

rip

Good luck though

use ummm

[visual flax]

thanks

[ancient gyro]

still drunk?

[lunar zealot]

balatro calculator

[lunar zealot]

Hell no i'm not even hungover

[visual flax]

website?

[celest bridge]

for whatever reason, i have never seen gros micheal or a glass card break

[lunar zealot]

yeah look up balatro calculator

[ancient gyro]

good good

[visual flax]

my friend you either lose very early on or just lucky af

[distant thunder]

once my Michael broke in the first round 😭

[celest bridge]

im just lucky ig

[celest bridge]

well that's good, now you can get cavendish

[distant thunder]

good point

[lost hamlet]

when update?

[ancient gyro]

tomorrow

[stark forge]

what's the joker combo that works best with plasma? I'm gonna start playing that deck, just wanna know what I should look for besides the classic chip stacking

[acoustic kettle]

Mult scaling still works

[hardy fable]

me

[acoustic kettle]

Needs a little bit of help early before getting the xmult since plasma scales faster

[stark forge]

hell yeah brother, but I got killed last time I nabbed stunty

[stark forge]

did not know this, am ignant

the two decks ive barely played are plasma and eratic

[acoustic kettle]

Wish erratic is more fun

[visual flax]

uhhh

[stark forge]

gyatdamn

[visual flax]

someone has an opinion on this?

should i get one more ecto

[stark forge]

neat 😄

[visual flax]

im going for naneinf

for the first time

[acoustic kettle]

How far above the scoring are you

Ecto hurts a ton for baron mime

[visual flax]

around e15

[visual flax]

yea thats why im a bit skeptical

[acoustic kettle]

I mean you still have one free slot in burnt

You don't really need the ecto

[true wagon]

Going for C++ and Throwback is carrying me. Do I skip this blind with a Double Tag even though it's a waste of a Double? Using the double on the big would be much more useful, But not the best use of Throwback

[visual flax]

yea keep it

[visual flax]

but imagine if i get idk another brainstorm or blueprint

or i dup them

damn you balatro

[ancient gyro]

you still have a free slot

[visual flax]

hmm

yea

ill sell burnt joker in the end

but for now im stacking on high card

lvl 50

[ancient gyro]

you get diminishing returns for every level you have on your poker hand

[visual flax]

hmm

yea

you madafaka

i have 350$😭

[hardy fable]

if you don't win in 1 hand dont skip

[true wagon]

Okay next c++ dilemma: I have gold seal on Constellation but if I get Bootstraps, Con would be my drop. Throwback is doing most of the work. Do I risk the Constellation for Bootstrap swap?

[visual flax]

hmm

its a big risk

[true wagon]

Con is holographic at x1. 3 right now

[visual flax]

i wouldnt if i were you

[true wagon]

Indeed

[true wagon]

Yeah best not get too greedy

[visual flax]

true

[barren wigeon]

no

[wintry ice]

can't you swap hack instead?

[barren wigeon]

bootstraps isnt great

dont think its even good

money to mult ratio is bad

[wintry ice]

i think the main reason was the sticker

[barren wigeon]

ah, i see

uhh

[true wagon]

I could But I don't have gold on Hack AND it's doubling my 4s with 10-4

[ancient gyro]

its not but it'll be one of the harder jokers I don't mind stickering early in the antes

[barren wigeon]

if you think you can win without constellation then you can go for it

[wintry ice]

what about juggler

[deft sandal]

that negative jimbo just chilling in there

[barren wigeon]

ofc, hes the goat

let him chill

[ancient gyro]

what about hack

[wintry ice]

i mean tbf

[true wagon]

Yeah juggler is doing less, but also not gold. I guess boot would do more

[deft sandal]

fr, but not when it's perishable, It should be eternal rental

[barren wigeon]

what's hack doing

[wintry ice]

i'd consider boots harder to sticker than hack

[barren wigeon]

Definitely

[wintry ice]

sticker fodder and walkie

[barren wigeon]

Hack is actually a good joker

[ancient gyro]

meh

[true wagon]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[wintry ice]

it's more decent than anything

but that's still better than boots

[true wagon]

It's good when paired with something else

[barren wigeon]

wee

we love wee

[deft sandal]

Hacking wee

[ancient gyro]

hack requires resources to do something while boots has a set value floor upon seeing the thing

[barren wigeon]

if you dont like wee what are you doing with your life

[true wagon]

Okay I think I'll swap jugs

[deft sandal]

this is how to grow your wee quick

[fickle mesa]

boots is worse but its also mult

so if u find an early eternal boots its regularly worth it to take

[deft sandal]

bro, what is ur username 💀

[fickle mesa]

dont call me bro

[barren wigeon]

shadowspussy

[deft sandal]

okay, maam

[ancient gyro]

call them shadowspussy

[deft sandal]

can i just call them pussy

[barren wigeon]

well thats unkind

[deft sandal]

[pale wolf]

spussy

[barren wigeon]

spusst

[ancient gyro]

can't believe we're dead naming @fickle mesa rn

[pale wolf]

sh*dowspussy

[deft sandal]

I'm love the vagabussy on goldstake

[pale wolf]

vagglebond is awsum

[red thistle]

Shadows🐱.

[ancient gyro]

vagar would've hit different on my last run

cause yk

[deft sandal]

Séance is so good on abandoned deck

[ancient gyro]

eh

[deft sandal]

it is so easy to set up straight flush build on abandoned

[red thistle]

Seance is never good.

[midnight timber]

not

[unborn cliff]

happy new year balacord

[deft sandal]

I've done so many straight flush run on abandoned deck

[red thistle]

Happy new year twin.

[pale wolf]

by the time youve "set up" straight flush, you're done with the game already

[unborn cliff]

it is exactly the same

checkered deck is seance's best deck and even then its mediocre

[pale wolf]

the setup is 10 antes

lol

[ancient gyro]

except when this happens

[ancient gyro]

no im not

u stupid

[unborn cliff]

typical ghost deck carry

[pale wolf]

you just said it's only good on checkered

[deft sandal]

Me when i fixed the deck to this

[unborn cliff]

yeah

it CAN be good on any other deck it just requires a lot of deck fixing for a mid joker

[deft sandal]

that's why I take vagabussy as an early game tarot generator to fix the deck

[unborn cliff]

now that's winning

[ancient gyro]

it was less of the deck and more on the fact that seance generated 5 immolates

[unborn cliff]

1 in 9999999 seance

[deft sandal]

I have done a run where I got vagabussy and cartomancer in the first two shop

[unborn cliff]

here win

[ancient gyro]

had to nerf it by holding the consumable cause I would've died from not having enough strush cards

crazy statement

[unborn cliff]

world's first helpful seance

[true wagon]

Got it thanks y'all

[ancient gyro]

almost made a worlds second helpful seance but I died with the combination of black deck and needle

[lavish ridge]

im seeing people on youtube talk about how pairs should be nerfed lol

[dense fiber]

I forgot I was on erratic deck and bought runner

this might be tricky

[barren wigeon]

this might be the easiest fibonacci hack build ever

[visual flax]

should i go for naneinf or keep grinding

[barren wigeon]

keep grinding

sell burny for a showman and find another BP or BS

[visual flax]

On it

[quartz ember]

correct discussion but wrong conclusion

[barren wigeon]

ALSO find antimatter

[visual flax]

whats that?

[barren wigeon]

oh fuck

uhh

a voucher

[safe fractal]

ultimate erratic deck

[visual flax]

which one

[visual flax]

omg get out

[barren wigeon]

the one that says antimatter

[dense fiber]

I forgot, how do the suits appear in hand, left to right?
