[vague sequoia]

Now were both stupid bcz 16>15

So your order is optimal according to me

[main wolf]

First sun found of the entire run
Game can be so ridiculous

[main wolf]

Undeserved bone is ez win it literally always gives the 50%

[cloud sigil]

SLAY

[white forge]

Eris stock already at $40

[tranquil steppe]

Bloodstone is goated fr fr

[ocean yoke]

Abstract is carrying

[tranquil steppe]

Whoever just posted that mrbeast thing, that’s a big scam RIP

[visual flax]

ture

[tranquil steppe]

Abstract is a top tier joker change my mind

[wintry ice]

it's good for a common

[ocean yoke]

Ok but what about flower pot

My beloved

Flowerpot

[wintry ice]

scuffed the order unless you have splash

[ocean yoke]

8 ball is overrated imo

It's bad

But like

Not that bad

[wintry ice]

who's overrating it

the general playerbase hates it because they compare every source of economy to rebate

[deft ledge]

That ante had a family!

[main wolf]

I find everyone rates it as mid at best which is what it is

And nothing wrong with that

I love using it

[white forge]

Just hit e200

[glad bronze]

CHAT

[quartz ember]

yes, throw the run

[glad bronze]

throw the run for a second blueprint

but it's actually so worth

[gentle island]

What do I take

[glad bronze]

dude

what's your scoring looking like

[gentle island]

I mean its ante 2 blue stake

so like once the invis is active I will have nothing

I have 0 deck fixing for kings

[wicked sonnet]

my best run ever

this is the last ante before i need to start using glass

i didn't even want this to be a high score run i was doing this purely to get the last voucher i needed

if i hadn't bought all the vouchers the run could've been better lowkey

[wintry ice]

trio gives proper direction

[white forge]

I have 20k in eris stock now

[rain sail]

balatro update any day now

[hallow zenith]

My best unseeded run by far (it's seeded cuz I wanted to see what else there was)

I loved this run so much

[wicked sonnet]

rip run

couldn't find a showman/another seltzer

dies at e31

tbf only e37 with another retrigger joker

but maybe an idol copy goes higher idk

[gilded arch]

lmao how tf did this keep up with purple stake scoring requirements

I had a foil mr bones that sadly sacrificed itself for the final ante

and I died immediately after lmao

[unreal iron]

no xmult???

[gilded arch]

I couldn’t find any besides steel cards

but those apply before grimbo obviously

there was a mid game throwback in there but scaling it up would have killed me for sure

[wicked sonnet]

mr bones is the goat

[ancient gyro]

you'd be surprised with what you can work with

[wintry ice]

eternal credit card is crazy

[tranquil steppe]

Nah

[tranquil steppe]

Mistaaaaaa Bones is amazing

We’re cookin famb

And negative double tag skip incoming

[stable glacier]

guys does albotra ever go on sale for a good amt ?

[wintry ice]

idk

[stable glacier]

i got 10$ in my steam wallet for some reason

[tranquil steppe]

Holy mother of fug this seed is unreal. Burnt AND photo for the negatives???

[stable glacier]

i barely ever use steam since i'm a console player but it's been there for like a year lmfao

[stable glacier]

how fixed is your deck ?

[wintry ice]

first unreal double negative skip

[tranquil steppe]

Not yet

[plush stone]

yay

what do i do

only luchador can save me

[tranquil steppe]

Or mistaaaaaa bones

[plush stone]

ok nvm the big blind skip rerolls the boss blind 😍😍😍😍

[tranquil steppe]

You can reroll if you skip

Yea

[plush stone]

yesss 😍

[stable glacier]

ass card

glass*

[humble hound]

NY luck??

[plush stone]

wait

if i reroll the plant can appear later?

[humble hound]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[plush stone]

bc idk if i should reroll or do what u said

prolly reroll

[ashen saffron]

Can anyone tell me what this is?

How is this neg and holo?

[lost hamlet]

it's not negative

just holo

[shell dagger]

It makes a negative consumable

[stable glacier]

yes

i think

i never reroll lmao

[plush stone]

okay ill just try to best jt

[wintry ice]

only after all other bosses have shown up

[stable glacier]

i should but i dont

i just died to the goad on ante fuckin 4 on plasma deck

you wont believe what my setup was

[plush stone]

yeah i lost

[stable glacier]

tragic

[plush stone]

what was it?

[stable glacier]

shouldve went with the ass card

[stable glacier]

arrowhead 😭

literally my only scoring joker everything else was utility lmfao

[plush stone]

oh maaan (i have no idea what that is)

hahah

[wintry ice]

+50 chips per spade

it's decently strong

[plush stone]

oh okay

nice then lmao

[stable glacier]

and it should be an insta win on plasma deck , which takes your chips and mult , adds them together then divides them equally

[plush stone]

oh yeah i know that one

[stable glacier]

but alas . . .

[plush stone]

congrats dude lol

devastating

maan fuck me i shouldve skipped

[stable glacier]

sedcbi91 if anyone else wants to give it a go maybe you'll be smarter than me somehow

got a decent amt of two pairs but the only joker i saw for that was an eternal

[shell dagger]

gold stake?

[stable glacier]

nah i'm on red now

[shell dagger]

but you mentioned eternals

[stable glacier]

yes i did

[wintry ice]

the

[stable glacier]

oh nevermind its purple

[plush stone]

i forgot how those higher stakes have all those eternal jokers and allat

thats just torture

[stable glacier]

the end screen showed red stake lmao

[wintry ice]

high stakes just challenge you to be as resourceful as possible

[ancient gyro]

be liberal or be conservative

[plush stone]

i remember i had my first gold stake run on checkered deck i think

but i changed phones and all my progress is gone i guess there is no way to get it back

yeah i play on my phone

[shell dagger]

goad is in ante 2 on this seed

[knotty shell]

is this optimal or do I put baron first, have basically no steel cards

[wintry ice]

baron

[shell dagger]

challenging start

[serene forge]

plant doesn't counter photochad

[plush stone]

how

[ancient gyro]

kid named numbered glass card

[plush stone]

oh

[wintry ice]

didn't you have a boss reroll vouchet

[plush stone]

i had but im dumb

stupppiiidd

[earnest viper]

I have discovered peak!

[neon tusk]

Nice casual run on black deck with an Ante 1 trib

[plush stone]

i just forgot if im being real

[stable glacier]

whoops

i forget plasma makes the score 2x lol

[ancient gyro]

we just lying now 💔

[stable glacier]

thats even more tragic

[serene forge]

you had one thing you absolutely could not do to with the run and you still went ahead and did it

[plush stone]

yeah like i said im an idiot

[stable glacier]

dying on ante 2 in plasma i should just quit the fucking game

[plush stone]

my best run and i fucked it up in the dumbest possible way lol

ill just forget about it

[stable glacier]

lets quit the game together

do a walk out

[shell dagger]

although I didn’t see the arrowhead despite having really good econ

[plush stone]

yeah i guess we should

[stable glacier]

cmon lil bro i'll hold ur hand

[plush stone]

ill hold your something else

[stable glacier]

it was in a buffoon pack

[ancient gyro]

he's more likely to experience symptoms of dementia at a younger age irl

[stable glacier]

whichever shop had the double pack , i think it was either the 3rd or 4th one

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[shell dagger]

yeah sorry but u should not have died here

[ancient gyro]

i love Alzheimer's

[stable glacier]

yea that

[stable glacier]

i took the credit card and made it neggy hoping i'd get a hobo or whatever its called

[ancient gyro]

i don't think it was for the sticker if im being real

[plush stone]

vagabondddd

[ancient gyro]

vagar doesn't need a wasted joker slot to make work

[serene forge]

trio

invis sucks

[stable glacier]

that guy is so goated

[terse vale]

credit card and vaga combo aint even that good

[shell dagger]

vagabond was on the same shop screen as credit card tho

[plush stone]

i love him

[serene forge]

credit card doesn't make vaga good

vaga makes credit card good

[plush stone]

i love not having money

[stable glacier]

bruh what

[serene forge]

well

remotely good

rather

[terse vale]

[serene forge]

its still not that good

lol

[plush stone]

lmao

[serene forge]

yeah credit card totally worth it

[stable glacier]

my creddy came from a buffoon i never saw hobo

[ancient gyro]

who said I don't have money

[serene forge]

are you missing unlocks

[north moss]

hi

[shell dagger]

i ankhed hallucination then got fool hermit from it

[stable glacier]

a few yea

[shell dagger]

so i was able to roll way deeper

[serene forge]

that's why

[plush stone]

okayyyyy

[serene forge]

vagabond is an Econ Joker

[stable glacier]

so ur telling me if i 100% the collection i would've won

[shell dagger]

maybe

[serene forge]

i mean you had arrowhead still

[north moss]

anyone knows the chances of a negative tag appearing?

[serene forge]

too high

[shell dagger]

1 in 24 (are there 24 tags?)

per small/big blind

[serene forge]

I thought there were 30

no its 24

im stupid

[terse vale]

in like the antes where all 24 are active tho

[serene forge]

also negative tag doesn't show up ante 1

[north moss]

are the chances changed if the tag already appeared during a run?

[terse vale]

dont think so

[shell dagger]

no it’s independent

[stable glacier]

rewatching the video clip and seeing how many two pairs i got pisses me off like maybe i should just taken eternal sly

[north moss]

I have 6 double tags and waiting for a negative tag lol but also have a garbage tag that would give me 80$ per tag and not sure if I should keep waiting or just go for the cash

[slender creek]

i havent played balatro since last year 😂😂😂😂😂

[stable glacier]

i haven't committed any felonies since last year

hip hip hooray

[shell dagger]

haven’t showered since 2024 xd

[terse vale]

i’m going to kill each and every one of you

and the only disappointment in it for me is that I only get to do it once

[heavy heron]

WELL THAT WAS CUTTING IT A LITTLE CLOSE

2 legendaries

skipped 4 blinds bc free win

2 negative skips gave me DNA and idol

LOOLLLLL

great endless seed

too bad i don’t care enough for endless

[serene forge]

never take negative tags unless if you're early into grinding c++

[terse vale]

yea

[serene forge]

money tags on anaglyph are useful

[heavy heron]

oh bad timing for what i said

[serene forge]

meh you had crimson heart and you were already completely winning so who cares

[heavy heron]

true

i skip quite often believe it or not

[north moss]

what's c++ lol?

[heavy heron]

skipping ante 7 and 8 happens quite often if i don’t want glass to break or if i know i win already

[serene forge]

achievement for gold sticker on all jokers

[modern panther]

Which one?

[heavy heron]

definitely the right one

sock and buskin is too speculative

[modern panther]

Planning on playing pairs anyway, but I want your opinion

[heavy heron]

the duo provides immediate and long term value

sock…. is a giant maybe if he becomes useful

so it’s not worth it

[modern panther]

Fair point... and sock can always come back

[north moss]

I'm already in endless mode with a strong set of jokers, getting 12 negative jokers could send me to the moon

[heavy heron]

oh yeah negative tag is pretty good for endless with skips

or voucher skip

both are good for endless

with endless, you generally can see where your run is going to end

hence why negative tags might be your only way out in some cases, with a very rare chance it works out

same with voucher skip, if you know the only way out is like

antimatter

fun fact if you take a voucher skip, you can change the game speed at 0.5 when you enter next shop

and if you see blank load first

buy it immediately

then there’s a chance antimatter will appear in the same shop

[summer steppe]

hi guys

[heavy heron]

in fact that goes with any voucher skip

set to 0.5 speed

if first voucher that appears is a level 1 voucher

level 2 can appear right after you buy it

in the same shop

[stable glacier]

alright chat do i fumble this somehow or am i winner today

find out next time on balala ball z

[summer steppe]

do i get dna..

[heavy heron]

do you have a good card to copy?

[stable glacier]

show us your deck

[heavy heron]

i’m going to say no if your goal is to win

[summer steppe]

i have 1 polychrome steel king

[heavy heron]

listen if you’re a gambling man do it

otherwise

[summer steppe]

hell yea i am

[heavy heron]

you win with what you already have

[summer steppe]

but no i need to secure this win cuz im trying to get all the jokers unlocked

go big or go home.

what do i get rid of tho

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[north moss]

from my experience DNA is good if you get it early in the run, late it's tough to make it work

[serene forge]

idol sucks

might as well take it

[summer steppe]

idol does not suck..

[serene forge]

post the deck

[summer steppe]

its ass please forgive this sight

ive been playing queen high

[serene forge]

explain how idol is going to do literally anything at all with this deck?

[summer steppe]

LONG TERM

[half void]

AAAARGH WHERE IS MY MIME

[summer steppe]

long term idol will show its worth

i believe in it

[serene forge]

I don't

[summer steppe]

well ur

very gay lesbian hornet

[serene forge]

nice, you can read

[summer steppe]

thats right

i can also write

[stable glacier]

don't trust hornets

or lesbians

[summer steppe]

ok NOW what do i do

literally next shop

[north moss]

buy the voucher obviously

[summer steppe]

what about the baron..

[summer steppe]

that was funny i wasnt expecting that

[modern panther]

It came back

[uncut matrix]

you have more of an idol build than a baron build

[summer steppe]

I JS GOT RID OF MY IDOL

[uncut matrix]

...

[summer steppe]

my deck:

[uncut matrix]

shoulda kept it

[north moss]

you have 5 kings in your deck, not sure it's a good choice

[uncut matrix]

shoulda built around it

[summer steppe]

.

ive been tricked

[serene forge]

do you want trib/idol or baron

[summer steppe]

i tried i got like 2 hanged man and the nothing.

[serene forge]

you can only pick one

[summer steppe]

guys

[serene forge]

build around it by finding something that gives you deckfixing lol

because idol is deadweight at the moment

[summer steppe]

idol is dead

[serene forge]

dna can help potentially

[summer steppe]

hes gone

hes dna now

[serene forge]

and you'll just roll down for an idol later

[summer steppe]

so i roll the baron?

[serene forge]

i would skip baron yea

[modern panther]

I'm an idiot. I died to the window WITH A SUIT CHANGER IN MY CONSUMABLE SLOT

[summer steppe]

happens to the best of us

and the worst..

[hushed dust]

could bloodstone be better then any of the cards here?

then ig this is where it ends 😭

[serene forge]

no

[hushed dust]

💔

[stable glacier]

and the unlucky

[summer steppe]

guysf

for a trib idol photograph build should i use glass or steel?

also high card or flush fives?

[shell dagger]

glass flush 5

trib benefits from playing cards

baron benefits from not

[summer steppe]

does that mean i should replace photograph witu smth better

[serene forge]

yea

[ancient gyro]

trib idol sock glass poly f5 all benefit from played cards
baron mime dna steel hc all benefit from cards held in hand

endless wise

[summer steppe]

so idealy i should replace photograph with bs and dna with idol?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[silent quiver]

Shelby rides the bus

[serene forge]

pretty much

then you try to find sock and dusk too

[modern panther]

$0 wraith. I'm playing pairs

[pearl finch]

why is bro watching while playing

[modern panther]

Attention Deficit - Hey, Donuts!

[pearl finch]

[serene forge]

damn so close

what happened to econ though

[azure ginkgo]

Crying in the club (I don’t have a connection on my laptop rn so can’t upload a screenshot don’t judge me)

Second gold stake trib run I’ve lost to plant man

[wintry igloo]

we "probably" fine

[serene forge]

dude i really need to know what possessed you to feel the need to take a rental eternal credit card

[azure ginkgo]

I bought it out of desperation to get a luchador

Was my only option

[cold ginkgo]

guys did I deserve this win? (at the start I had half joker so I just kept playing with 3 of a kinds)

[azure ginkgo]

I have trib and Chad with a bunch of queens, don’t need to buy anything for the rest of the run if I survived the plant

[serene forge]

i guess that's fair then

how much did you spend rolling

[azure ginkgo]

~$140 over three blinds

[brave goblet]

Muhnee

[candid niche]

the run is running

[wintry igloo]

yup, it was a fun one

[worldly sphinx]

Besides the amount of cards offered? Do you get higher rarities?

[cold ginkgo]

also does someone relate to thinking that crimson heart would instead of always disabling only one random joker the showdown boss would disable one more joker every hand played?

[night turret]

Finally I get my favorite build!!’

[brazen island]

Bro how did u respond to my comment from yesterday just now lmao

Just the number of cards offered

[north moss]

this is muhnee

[brave goblet]

noooo, I've been outmuhneed

Ironically, not being able to spent makes you not make as much money

I literally found exactly two temperances that whole run

[north moss]

how much mult should the green joker add to be more useful than Ramen?

[heady narwhal]

either grimbo or rtb will always be less useful than ramen in this case

[austere rain]

I always forget how annoying it is to do plasma deck gold stake

[heady narwhal]

unless you've discarded a bunch of course

[austere rain]

Guess I just need to get better at having the money to pivot

[north moss]

ramen is full

[austere rain]

Speculative oops that kept me alive because it was my only early chips

[summer steppe]

chat

i stand no chance in this ante

do i wraith for brainstorm

[heady narwhal]

hex blueprint

wait that's wraith shit

[summer steppe]

or skip and reroll for idol or bs

i WILL lost if i dont get idol or bs

what yall thinking

[austere rain]

Isn’t idol uncommon

[summer steppe]

yea

[heady narwhal]

ankh steel joker maybe? it's your best scoring joker

[austere rain]

You could gamble the wraith for a bs lol

[summer steppe]

good idea.

[summer steppe]

yea but is it better to skip and reroll the shop for bs or idol

or lose the money and wraith for bs

[austere rain]

They’re both pretty unlikely

[summer steppe]

yea..

which is the most likely

[austere rain]

If you feel like savescumming since the run’s pretty much dead you can

Take wraith and if it’s not bs reset and roll

And then you learn that you’re dead either way

[cloud sinew]

hanging chad, luchador, 4fingers, astronomer and photograph

[austere rain]

Instead of just dead one way

[summer steppe]

last time i reset on a spectral pack it broke my run..

actually the runs dead anyways u right

[austere rain]

Hit the road incoming

[summer steppe]

alr im wraithing

BURNT JOKER

AMAZING

[austere rain]

Unfortunate

[cloud sinew]

doesn't save you at A16 sadly

[austere rain]

Yeah rip

One of the better rare jokers in general but like

Too little too late

[summer steppe]

nah i got nothing

if i didnt get rid of idol earlier...

REGRET

[wintry igloo]

surely nothing will happen

[summer steppe]

say goodbye chat..

[austere rain]

Ante 6 psychic, calling it now

[gentle island]

So now I could take the invis or I could take the double spectral

[summer steppe]

e19

[gentle island]

what should I do

[summer steppe]

so close yet so far

[summer steppe]

bro

a blessing and a curse

[austere rain]

If you like playing straights go invis

If you don’t then gamble

Invis gives you a very clear goal

[gentle island]

I gotta hope for the destruction card

[summer steppe]

u can keep invos for later u dont need to use it on atraight

[austere rain]

Immolate is also another option

We love immolate

[gentle island]

There we go

[austere rain]

If it gets rid of the high cards you definitely go hard into straights

[gentle island]

Yeah

the 20x on straights is going to go crazy

[wintry ice]

what's with people insisting on taking idol no matter what

[austere rain]

People do that

?

[gentle island]

I think its good for multiplayer

[calm moth]

am I over thinking what dusk does

[austere rain]

If hands = 1, last hand retriggers all scoring cards

[wintry igloo]

nice try

also got an invis

[wintry ice]

ante 7 psychic

[wintry igloo]

that was a nice try as well

[scenic siren]

Good run going

[scenic siren]

Ante 9 Goad

[wintry igloo]

got a burglar and luchador I think we got it bois

[scenic siren]

Yeah I think I'm winning... Almost 60k second hand on round 15

[wintry igloo]

I hit 150k per hand good thing that I got the burglar I guess

[modern panther]

There's no way this scuffed build makes it through purple, right?

[shell dagger]

It’s not scuffed

Although you’re overscoring rn

[modern panther]

Is it too late for it now?

[modern panther]

That's mostly due to a 95-chip rock

[shell dagger]

probably shouldve waited till the last hand for that

not too late for wee

[modern panther]

Does hiker or rocket go? Rocket is at $5

[shell dagger]

hiker

[scenic siren]

Tada

Omg

I js got Trousers in the shop right after

[neat ore]

What's a better combo than merry Andy and hit the road?

[scenic siren]

Ig ill take it for clever

[scenic siren]

Pareidolia and Ride the Bus

[shadow shore]

Vagabond joker and credit card

[neat ore]

Interesting

The synergy

I can feel it

[shadow shore]

How to scale photochad
Level up hand
Red seal 🦭 and steel card
Blue print and brainstorm
Mime
Retrigger face card and what else

[modern panther]

Stupid idea...

[wintry igloo]

second brainstorm-trib-chad build of the day

[warped moth]

Got rental michel in hope that it would die soon enough for cavendish to be available... On ante 3. Won the run and atp I wanted to see how long he would last. Turns out I died before him

[heavy totem]

Guys, i need some advice. Im trying to go for naneinf. What should I do?

[scenic siren]

Y'all how do I get any of Onyx Agate, Arrowhead, Etc. easily

[modern panther]

I love this game!

What... What do?

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[wintry igloo]

ggs my 3rd gold stake

[serene forge]

hold r because its impossible without perkeo on this deck

try plasma deck instead

[modern panther]

So it truly begins...

[modern panther]

IT TRULY BEGINS

[heavy totem]

oh right, I totally forgot about this... 🫣

but still, i'm curious to know. Say this was the plasma deck, what would be advicable? I can still use this as a practice run.

[modern panther]

I know what I have to do...

[cursive crater]

for arrowhead and bloodstone, play checkered deck
and for the rest, just hunt for their respectable tarot card and use the fool

[scenic siren]

So Moon and Sun I think it's be?

Either way I mainly want Clubs so I'll do moon

[modern panther]

Pray for me, chat

[austere rain]

This entire run dies the moment my jokers start perishing

[candid niche]

amazing start

[modern panther]

I mean... I won. I didn't get blue seal value, but I won

[potent tree]

wee with hackchad

absolute cinema

[modern panther]

That's a pretty massive wee

Ggs

[red thistle]

It's average.

[serene forge]

sell the dna and grab the blueprint, then hope you find antimatter and retcon within the next couple of antes

[candid niche]

worlds greatest blueprint

and michel just died

and he came back stronger

jeez

[red thistle]

[heavy totem]

will 1 copying joker be enough to replace like 4 extra scoring cards?

[latent egret]

how likely am i to win

[candid niche]

world's most imposing Oops

i have a few lucky face cards, but i don't want Cavendish to die

....but the hallucination....

fuck it, we kill Drunkard and take Oops

i trust in Cavendish to stay strong

[serene forge]

yeah

and four copies is mandatory for burger naneinf

[candid niche]

....man

nah screw photo

this is a lucky build

i won't let cavendish or halu die

[stable glacier]

is this the false chicot from the okbuddyjimbo sub ?

[stable glacier]

PREVIOUSLY ON BALALA BALL Z

i got a foil blue print , bull , and castle and golden joker in ante 2

NOW ON BALALA BALL Z

no way i fumble this right ?

......right ?

[livid ridge]

I barely play vanilla balatro but thanks to having it on mobile..

[unborn cliff]

i hate the plant

[tranquil cedar]

will jimbo be able to win ante 8?
find out on the next episode titled: "jimbo loses ante 8 and is brutally massacred by violet vessel afterwards"

[gentle island]

the dream card

Here are my jokers

idk if I can naneinf this

[unborn cliff]

not even close

[gentle island]

Yeah

[unborn cliff]

probably like

e78ish at most

[livid ridge]

Bye bye run

[gentle island]

what jokers would I be looking for?

And is my current locationing for jokers good?

[livid ridge]

Yorick is gay now 🗣️🗣️

[unborn cliff]

baron mime blueprint brainstorm burglar

[unborn cliff]

lore accurate yorick

[stable glacier]

me ? lose ? to violet vessel ?

psssssshhh

. . . . .

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[tardy spade]

How many cards would you need to play at once in order to trigger all the type xmult jokers?

(the rare ones)

Is it 8?

[tranquil cedar]

at least 1

[quartz ember]

depends if you can also have other things to help

[cloud sinew]

in one hand it would be 7

the constraint is on 4oak + straight, where the minimum is 4 cards for each with one rank overlap between those hands so 4+4-1

[quartz ember]

you'll want 3 idols and 2 socks I'm pretty sure

[cloud sinew]

if you're not including 4 Fingers and such then yes it's 8 cards

[stable glacier]

PREVIOUSLY ON BALALA BALL Z

GOT SMEARED JOKER STARTED LEVELING STRAIGHT FLUSH AND FLUSH

EZ WINS

ox is coming up though 😞

i think one straight flush should do it

[quartz ember]

next question how many cards would you need to play to trigger all jokers in one hand

[stable glacier]

a single ace

scholar joker , fibonacci , hanging chad , blueprint , hack

[cloud sinew]

doesn't trigger any of the rare hand xmults or seeing double, etc

[stable glacier]

oh is this for a specific setup

[quartz ember]

no

all jokers

[cloud sinew]

"all jokers in one hand" meaning every joker triggers on that hand

[stable glacier]

oh

hmm

[gentle island]

OMFG all this time of rerolling every one of these skips finally paid off

[cloud sinew]

uhhh you can't unless you're only counting all mid-round triggering jokers

[gentle island]

its canio 😭

[quartz ember]

(anyways its a trick question but leads nicely to todays trivia which is: How many jokers can you at maximum trigger with one hand)

[stable glacier]

better get to discarding kid

or is that the destroy face cards one

idk i never see any legendaries besides chigoat

[gentle island]

that one

[stable glacier]

better get destroyin kid

[quartz ember]

canio with ghost deck kinda goated

[tiny hound]

I’ve now completed 3 decks on gold stake!!!! I’m so happy

[gentle island]

its ggs

[potent tree]

if only wasn't perishable

[gentle island]

true

I mean 5x is 5x

[potent tree]

nice work. i've completed 9 decks on my 2nd savefile

[cloud sinew]

108 I believe

[heavy hare]

tye most jokers triggering would prolly require a flush five of hearts, triggers bloodstone with glass so at least one can break anf trigger glass joker with to do list set to flush five, ancient joker set to hearts, 2s so that hack, fibonacci and wee joker can trigger plus a pareidolia to trigger photograph and smiley, would trigger the duo, trio, the family and rhe tribe, if the 2 glass breaks it would trigger canio

i can't think if more :3

[cloud sinew]

the most unique joker triggers, i.e each joker can only count once

[heavy hare]

huh

yeah i was trying to think of the most unique joker triggers

[gentle island]

Glass works for canio right?

and death doesnt?

[tiny hound]

Death does

Or no

[cloud sinew]

death doesn't destroy, it converts. you might be thinking of hanged man

[tiny hound]

Hanged man

[potent tree]

death simply converts a card.

[tiny hound]

I’m thinking handed

[potent tree]

hanged man works, grim/familiar/incantation works, immolate works

[tiny hound]

I just associate death with destroy LOL

[potent tree]

trading card, sixth sense (only if you have pareidolia)

[shell dagger]

ante 1 rental pog

crazy what midas mask can enable

[tiny hound]

One day I woke up and all of a sudden, I was much better at balatro

[candid niche]

wow, what a great draw

[tiny hound]

I was completing stakes rapid fire, it was the craziest feeling

I felt so smart (I’m not)

[cloud sinew]

your sleep spindles are putting in work

[tiny hound]

Before then my highest was purple stake and I had taken weeks tryna beat that

And then boom

Purple won, orange won on second try, boom bam bop

[shell dagger]

Typa shit im on u wouldn’t understand

[tiny hound]

[dull sapphire]

YR4CU8AJ greendeck, made some bad decisions on an otherwise strong seed

[quartz ember]

I counted around 99 rn, but I'm not sure if straight or flush house is better actually. I tried flush five but realized that flush house is better halfway through so it might not be even correct for that one

[pale wolf]

i would assume you want straight because of superposition/seance and wanting to cover more ranks bc of shortcut

flush house gets 3oak 2pair jokers in return though

hard to say

i mean, off the top of my head

[pale wolf]

you would need a straight flush with 4 wilds and a lucky

[quartz ember]

(btw with trigger I mean any kind of jiggly thing, so you dont need to worry about stuff like square or wee conditions)

[tranquil cedar]

would you look at that

[pale wolf]

or 3 wilds, i mean

[silent bay]

they're tempting me to high card

[pale wolf]

lucky card to trigger cat, and wilds for flowerpot

[stable glacier]

luchador showed up twice after i picked up golden joker again

[quartz ember]

cause they still trigger by giving you score

[stable glacier]

man

[pale wolf]

so scaling a joker isnt triggering it

[stable glacier]

two tragic plasma losses today

[pale wolf]

so things like worrying about giving lucky cat a scale are negligible

that makes this less interesting imo

[manic zealot]

I love ancient

[quartz ember]

sure, still plenty to think about, and thats just another case to consider

[gentle island]

The seed if anyone wants to try, (canio on first tag skip)

I thought it was good fun

I went in a very random direction

[narrow igloo]

i will def try later

[narrow igloo]

[manic zealot]

hi moonkat what's up

[tranquil cedar]

yoooooo

nice seeing you again

[manic zealot]

same to you

[abstract rivet]

i suggest pairs

since more jokers work with it

eg duo and seeing double. and has almost 50% better scaling because of the chips

50% better scaling if all the mult comes from other jokers

[pale wolf]

[toxic wolf]

Doing a white stake checkered deck run just to discard a royal flush and I stumble into 2x mult heaven??

[hollow rover]

What were the odds, damn

[gentle island]

Does anyone else skip every charm tag they see?

[hollow rover]

@gentle island For the tarot packs?

[abstract rivet]

its like 8$ of value

you get like 5$ of money for max interest as well as whatever u make from the blind and hands

its objectively not a good value

[toxic wolf]

Tbh, arcana packs are amazing, and I will usually skip it unless I am in super hell.

[toxic wolf]

Well, depending on the blind and the stake.

[idle haven]

wow thank you misprint for giving me +0 mult and ending my run i fucking hate you

[abstract rivet]

missing out on a shop is not good

[gentle island]

yeah

[idle haven]

the shop in question would just have superposition, seance, 2 standard packs and magic trick

[gentle island]

I mean I only skip ante one ones

because if they miss I reset

[hollow rover]

I try not to skip blinds unless I got jokers that synergize with skips, or else you speaking facts

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

that's why you don't skip shops

so you have more chances of a good one

duh

[reef kernel]

Pairs are genuinely so hard to get 🥺🥺 why cant i get a pair

[hollow rover]

@gentle island I'd take the pack if the seed isn't showing me any tarot packs or jokers that give me tarots

Something is better than nothin

[serene forge]

i skip for it on 1-1 to see if there's a soul

otherwise hell no

not ever in my life

[gentle island]

yeah thats what I mean

and for me if its on 1-2 I skip them both

[toxic wolf]

You just made me imagine bloodstone oops all 6s and lustful joker with the tribe on checkered deck and now i'm just imagining the devastation

[serene forge]

arrowhead better smh

[gentle island]

I once had 3 oops all 6s in a run and it was bloodshed

lucky cards gone wild

[toxic wolf]

I swear wheel of fortune is the actual thing that fuels my gambling addiction in this game

[idle haven]

well well well

[full glade]

Holy shop

[hollow rover]

Face card spam

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[idle haven]

you know it

[idle haven]

sometimes i wonder why we allowed people to have free speech

[hollow rover]

Absolute cinema in the making

[toxic wolf]

Goddamn that's a nice setup.

[manic zealot]

is there anything you don't feel the need to say that you hate over and over again?

[serene forge]

that's not how free speech works but ok

[serene forge]

marble jonkler because everyone hates marble jonkler already

[toxic wolf]

To counteract some of the negativity, I love . Very cool card.

[idle haven]

i think im in love

[serene forge]

run saved

[manic zealot]

it always comes in clutch if I see it on gold stake

[idle haven]

i love winning ante 4

i wonder

do i sell anything for sock chat

[gentle island]

This is what I skip rare tags for 🙏

[toxic wolf]

I feel like maybe selling scary face?

[indigo oyster]

Definitely, I approve of selling scary face.

[gentle island]

Is skipping rare tags bad?

[idle haven]

scary face will be gone

[hollow rover]

Sell the scary face I guess? The retrigger is fun

U could easily scale in millions right now

[toxic wolf]

I'm straight flushing it

[upbeat abyss]

got the burnt joker for the first time and holy crap its broken

i also got triboulet from a tarot pack and it pairs so well with my red seal foil king

[serene forge]

most tags are

[dull sapphire]

9CE5379R green deck, weird seed, features jokers you'd think would suck together going very well together

||cloud 9, fibonacci||

[upbeat abyss]

peak high card setup?

[idle haven]

i sell everything here right

[toxic wolf]

obviously

[serene forge]

trib is not a high card joker

[upbeat abyss]

it works tho lol

[serene forge]

and trib clashes with everything else you have here

[upbeat abyss]

how its good

[serene forge]

except chad obviously

[upbeat abyss]

its workin

[serene forge]

+mult jokers trigger after trib

[hollow rover]

localthunk adding gigachad joker when?

[upbeat abyss]

im still keeping it since im js tryna win

[idle haven]

oh my econ

[serene forge]

im saying objectively trib wants you to be playing more cards

play like 3oak or something

[upbeat abyss]

i gave up on black deck and went to the next one cuz i just cant beat it lol

[toxic wolf]

To hieroglyph,,, or not to hieroglyph.

[upbeat abyss]

i have lv22 high card though

[neat ore]

Synergy = guaranteed run

[upbeat abyss]

[serene forge]

[eternal pumice]

[upbeat abyss]

[toxic wolf]

Wise words.

[idle haven]

[upbeat abyss]

[toxic wolf]

That is nutty. But is the gamble worth.

[idle haven]

RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[upbeat abyss]

[toxic wolf]

Rahhhh.

[upbeat abyss]

hanging chad x triboulet is peak

[idle haven]

[languid heron]

Reroll coming in clutch þere

[serene forge]

[idle haven]

[latent egret]

seeing double is such a treat to use

i really love its design

[serene forge]

true

[upbeat abyss]

goated seed

one of the first jokers was burnt

and i got the soul and trib

[idle haven]

this will be our best hand yet

[toxic wolf]

of course this 🃏 comes in when I don't know if I want him.

[upbeat abyss]

alright should i try black deck 😭

[hollow rover]

I hate it

[upbeat abyss]

i have yet to beat it its evil

[hollow rover]

Purge that deck from the existence of this universe

[upbeat abyss]

i lost on round 23 and gave up

sorry no

on round 24

[hollow rover]

What stake

[upbeat abyss]

normal

im trying to beat all the decks

[hollow rover]

Oh it gets progressively painful in black at higher stakes

[upbeat abyss]

i cant even beat it in easy mode 😭

[hollow rover]

Yeah it takes time, that deck is nasty

[toxic wolf]

i did not read the boss blind guys

we may be cooked

[hollow rover]

🫡

You served well

[upbeat abyss]

i lost on round 24 bc i got the blind that 3x the blind

[toxic wolf]

saved by the random good hand??

[idle haven]

i used 6 auras and they all hit foil i fucking hate this game

[upbeat abyss]

oh i got that one last run

i got my red seal foil king so i won

[toxic wolf]

some jokers show up on unfortunately incompatible runs

[upbeat abyss]

alright chat im gonna try black deck again

i shall need your help

[toxic wolf]

WE ARE EXPERIENCING A COMEBACK AT THE 9TH ANTE??

[crimson hinge]

I can't choose, both of those are amazing jokers for the build i'm going for (jacks only, cuz I got a bunch of those earlier)

[upbeat abyss]

anything worth?

or do i just rack up $

[toxic wolf]

Mime is so good if you have a lot of steel cards, but 4oak is just good mult

[shell dagger]

buffoon and the Mercury

[upbeat abyss]

to try and get a pair setup?

[crimson hinge]

I think i'm going with mult then, since I don't really have a lot of steel in my deck

[idle haven]

i love this game

[upbeat abyss]

thats a big number

[shell dagger]

i wouldn’t think about it that way

you’ve been presented with pair scaling

[upbeat abyss]

scaling?

[shell dagger]

mercury scales pairs

[hollow rover]

ye

[upbeat abyss]

oh like

the hand upgrade

[shell dagger]

yes

[upbeat abyss]

i just call it that lol

good to know

mystic summit or this one that retriggers 3, 4, 5

has a spotlight

both seem decent early on

[idle haven]

lets see

IT HIT BRAINSTORM AND IT DID THE GLITCH SO NOW I HAVE AN EXTRA JOKER SLOT

[halcyon garden]

When new update

[crimson hinge]

when it's done

[upbeat abyss]

just be happy terraria 1.4.5 is coming this month

[halcyon garden]

No way nah fr? Naaah no way bru

[halcyon garden]

[toxic wolf]

NO I JUST SHATTERED TWO GLASS CARDS IN ONE HAND THE LUCKY GODS ARE NOT WITH ME

all for 750k 😔

[idle haven]

i will rearrange the jokers soon for better scoring but oh my lord

[pale wolf]

I trust this advice because you are a card player

[toxic wolf]

so close yet so bloody far

the fact it debuffed my wild cards just hurt so bad 😔

[night turret]

❌❌❌

You were right on some things

The foil made it look like a four fingers

[abstract rivet]

Since when was there an extra joker slot glitch

[idle haven]

on pc when invisible hits a negative it still gives you an extra joker slot

[abstract rivet]

Ah so it doesn't work on mobile makes sense

Sounds fun

[zinc osprey]

Hey everyone I'm currently trying to collect every joker, I just want to know if having any kind of pair in your hand count as playing a pair even if you spefically don't actually played a pair

Tryna get this one

[terse vale]

no

you can play hands that contain pairs

just do not specifically play a pair

[crimson hinge]

is this worth swapping for my jack four or five of a kind build?

(sorry that it's not in english but I think yall can understand right?)

[toxic wolf]

Imo, yes.

[idle haven]

do i sell anything for the brainstorm lowk

[gentle island]

Could sell the idol/sock

[idle haven]

im gonna sell a sock

[toxic wolf]

i have no clue when i beat black deck because i'm reading the description and it sounds absolutely horrid

[gentle island]

I like black deck actually

for me thats a good tradeoff

[toxic wolf]

i've been playing almost exclusively checkered deck because like flushes are just so easy but I feel like it is 100% not the best deck. but it lets me unlock the stakes decks

i only have blue and orange left

[gentle island]

Yeah I agree chekered deck was my first gold seal

[night turret]

Well fuck my run

[marsh needle]

they should make cloud 9 cost 9 dollars and give 2 dollars per 9

[toxic wolf]

I kinda want to do a high card run but I am not sure what deck to use lol

[idle haven]

this is my first balatro run of 2026 btw

[marsh needle]

plasma, red, nebula?

or maybe not plasma

well

not for early game

red and nebula the best for high card id bet

wait not red isnt blue the +1 hand deck

yeah

blue and nebula!! >o<

[magic tree]

This is why I love anaglyph deck

[marsh needle]

[crimson hinge]

lets gooo what a way to start 2026

[idle haven]

runs dead

[acoustic kettle]

Just skip

[idle haven]

what a start to 2026

[viral ledge]

whats the move

[rocky tiger]

Bp the egg

[viral ledge]

what

[rocky tiger]

Blueprint the egg

[viral ledge]

oh

[lunar gate]

egg.

[modern panther]

And they say flushes are bad

[rocky tiger]

They are

Thats not flush being good thats 15 jupiters being good

[lunar gate]

straights are way better

[rocky tiger]

FR

Real ones play towards royal flush

[modern panther]

Too inconsistent for my liking

[rocky tiger]

Just pull the right cards lowk

[toxic wolf]

Straight flushes with shortcut do make me happy, though, that’s a thing.

[rocky tiger]

Yeah one of my fav builds

My first orange stake run not quite sure how i got that far

[simple jacinth]

this game is kicking my ass tonight

[magic tree]

nice

[distant vault]
