[pale wolf]

almost never

[toxic wolf]

damn i must play this stuff AGAIN

[pale wolf]

whats wrong with checkered

oh did it not register

[toxic wolf]

oh i love checkered

[acoustic kettle]

There are some good skips

I love orbital tag on anaglyph

[toxic wolf]

no i just have to keep doing checkered runs to unlock the NEXT deck because obviously you couldn't unlock it on purple stake

[pale wolf]

ye

[white coral]

Hey chat i did it

[pale wolf]

you monster

[toxic wolf]

alright guys we all pray for bloodstone oops all 6s blueprint the tribe brainstorm all poly on this run

[tranquil steppe]

Anaglyph is very fun with all the double tags.

[tranquil steppe]

Lord Canio sends good fortune your way comrade

[toxic wolf]

holy fuck this stake is actually deabilitating

[faint linden]

Do I sell Holo Wily?

[toxic wolf]

this is the first one that feels like actually hard

[tranquil steppe]

You always sell your soul

[acoustic kettle]

Sell the scary face

[tranquil steppe]

Sell wily

[faint linden]

Even though it's Holo?

[white coral]

It will be the chicot man

Id sell the banana tho

[faint linden]

Not terrible since I'm kinda worried about The Mark

[lyric wave]

crazy run, this was my first plasma deck gold stake win lol

[faint linden]

That's my main mult source. I'm on Checkered

[acoustic kettle]

Either sell scary face or arrowhead imo

[nova elk]

I could use some tips here

unlocked every tarot

[white coral]

Holo joker :

Plus it will die

It always dies

[acoustic kettle]

Banana is good

For cavendish later

[white coral]

Lot of gambling

[faint linden]

I'm praying for Cavendish later

[faint linden]

This whole game is

Selling Wily

[white coral]

Strategic gambling

Its winnable by math

[tranquil steppe]

That’s just adding +10 mult

[acoustic kettle]

Just sell the chips

[faint linden]

Perkeo

[white coral]

Ayoooo

[tranquil steppe]

Niceeeee

[simple jacinth]

gn chat

Pants were at 100

[toxic wolf]

every balatro run sacrifices a part of my soul

[acoustic kettle]

Fluh

[simple jacinth]

but you can't sell just half of perkeo 🙁

[toxic wolf]

my corporeal body is gone

i am

[simple jacinth]

this run was fun because I don't often have cause to take petroglyph, let alone hieroglyph

[faint linden]

Damn banana won't die

[simple jacinth]

and I got to do both this time

also the showman was a last-ditch take because I thought I'd need to dig for another stencil for enough scoring but petroglyph stalled me for long enough

still needed to sell for verdant though

[lyric wave]

rip

[nova elk]

do i need to buy the voucher in shop for it to change?

[toxic wolf]

i am tempted by the evils of bad decisions

is it an objectively bad joker to take

yes

is it incredibly funny

yes

[lyric wave]

no, if you miss the voucher for an ante, it's gone

it can reappear but it's not guaranteed

[fallow fog]

its like

actl so badddd

considering u have supernova

[simple jacinth]

see what you do here is

[acoustic kettle]

Odd todd is not that bad of a pick

[simple jacinth]

sell nova, full skip to boss

find chips in a shop somewhere

???

[vocal rose]

no

[simple jacinth]

profit

[vocal rose]

it isn’t that funny

[ripe gull]

what evils you got a 1 joker pack and eternal odd todd isnt that bad

[twin lantern]

hi people

[simple jacinth]

supernova's scoring work is not yet done

[faint linden]

Run died in Ante 6

[toxic wolf]

i learned my lesson and holy shit we may win

one oops all 6s please localthunk do this one thing for me

okay that's not what i asked for but this is not bad

[dull sapphire]

daily random deck random seed gold stake - day 3
GJBG89S9 abandoned deck
comments: imagine having any form of econ in early game couldn't be me hahaha

this seed was just so painful to play earlygame with

and then i just one-shot violet vessel without expecting to lol

[wintry ice]

the virtuous wish granting mechanical star when someone wants legs:

[fallow briar]

this guy is fat

[ancient gyro]

might as well spitball my seed loadout

[last bolt]

Ah, yes

[woven spire]

and handsome

[fallow briar]

whats the most expensive reroll someones gotten

i just got 52

[wintry ice]

like 40 or so

i don't play endless much so

[safe fractal]

why would you possibly need to reroll it 47 times 💀

[fallow briar]

52 times

[safe fractal]

no because the rerolls dont start at 1

starts at 5

so 47

[fallow briar]

i have reroll vouchers

starts at 1

[safe fractal]

i see, my bad

[fallow briar]

all good

[safe fractal]

how many hours do you have on balatro out of curiosity?

[ancient gyro]

over a thousand

[fallow briar]

lemme check

[safe fractal]

i still havent got the 100,000,000 points in 1 hand achievement yet

[fallow briar]

180

also guys am i cooked

[safe fractal]

almost got it today but accidentally put a useless free negative joker to left slot ruining my entire system and didnt realise

[safe fractal]

i have 130

[wintry ice]

1.1k

most of it being last year

[safe fractal]

lol

i used flush so much before its nerf its still my no.1 planet

[ancient gyro]

since when did Jupiter scaling get nerfed

[safe fractal]

didnt get nerfed, saturn got buffed

shouldnt have said nerfed

[safe fractal]

kind of an indirect nerf.

[wintry ice]

saturn buff made straights fun

[fallow briar]

ggs this is my last hand and then im dying next ante

[safe fractal]

never said it didnt. i was just saying before its buff i used jupiter so much its still by far my most used consumable despite having used it less post balance changes

[toxic wolf]

is it sock and buskin selling time

[wintry ice]

i was just commenting

[fallow briar]

id actually sell supernova depending on what you play

[toxic wolf]

flushes and i've played it 23 times

[fallow briar]

ok sock bye bye

[wintry ice]

selling bloodstone sounds like the safest route

depending on flush levels

[toxic wolf]

it was a perkeo

[ancient gyro]

not that flush was good to begin with pre-post 7 hs gs

[toxic wolf]

i am disappointed

[wintry ice]

makes up for the economy ig

ante 6 legendaries are a risk anyways

[toxic wolf]

i'm simply not winning this run

[hard mantle]

bababatro

[toxic wolf]

i have not enough chip or xmult

[safe fractal]

egg

[toxic wolf]

every time i start a run i see god's vision and he is weeping

[thorny axle]

question

would seperent ante 1 be balanced

[fallow briar]

rip run

[manic zealot]

how I couldn't manage to draw like any jacks is beyond me

[thorny axle]

use that sigal and play a Flush

[fallow briar]

?

[manic zealot]

I did

the sigil saved the run

[thorny axle]

W sigil

[safe fractal]

Egg

[fallow briar]

?

[safe fractal]

most used joker

[fallow briar]

??

heres mine

[safe fractal]

nah you're sleeping on egg

[lyric wave]

bloodstone!!!!

[ancient gyro]

6 nanlet jokers, could be worse

[manic zealot]

careful the bloodstone hater will appear like an apparition the moment you mention bloodstone

[toxic wolf]

[safe fractal]

[manic zealot]

here's mine

[fallow briar]

photochad

[manic zealot]

in retrospect I don't really understand why or how photo is my most played

[unborn cliff]

i like these stats

[fallow briar]

how do u have banana

[manic zealot]

I was a unique new player

[ancient gyro]

unique isn't what I call it

[safe fractal]

if egg has 100 fans, im one of them
if egg has 10 fans, im one of them
if egg has 1 fan, im the only fan
if egg has 0 fans, i am dead

[fallow briar]

oh nvm i thought it was runs finished with, like stickers

[thorny axle]

bloodstone?

[fallow briar]

finishing with bananas is mental

[hard mantle]

last deck to white stake

[fallow briar]

yeah ik

i forgot i can read

[manic zealot]

part of why banana is there is because I've played for so many hours, and my bananas never fucking go extinct

[unborn cliff]

good luck on your journey daughter

[hard mantle]

love me some flush decks :3

[hard mantle]

ty

[safe fractal]

if i see egg before the start of ante 4 im taking it 10 times out of 10

[hard mantle]

DAMMIT

[wintry ice]

egg is neat

[hard mantle]

im short one whole dollar

[manic zealot]

oh yeah I'll send mine too forgot about those

[tiny raptor]

Bruh

average blue seal fan

[wintry ice]

free baseball card

[unborn cliff]

hes a skip anyways

[hard mantle]

is hologram any good?

[fallow briar]

i like it

[wintry ice]

hologram is great

[toxic wolf]

is amazing

[tiny raptor]

Vic spotted wtf

[wintry ice]

it's better later on

[unborn cliff]

top 5 jokers in the game

[wintry ice]

oh hi amb

[hard mantle]

alright ill pick holo up then lol

[fallow briar]

just open standard pakcs and free fin

win8

win*

[wintry ice]

another btd6 player moving to a better game

[ancient gyro]

its only a top 10 joker overall

[ancient gyro]

o

[safe fractal]

just below egg

[tiny raptor]

I haven't played bloons in over 2 years

👍

[wintry ice]

me neither

[shell phoenix]

what

how

[fallow briar]

guys am i washed

[hard mantle]

does it only count cards added from standard packs, or do cards from spectrals count too

[manic zealot]

what's confusing

[tiny raptor]

All cards added

[unborn cliff]

"hey what version of windows released in october 2012"

[tiny raptor]

incantation is rly good with it

[safe fractal]

Egg + Buccaneer before start of ante 2 = easiest win of my life

[acoustic kettle]

All counts

[hard mantle]

also: does it remove mult for removing cards?

[tiny raptor]

magic trick works

[acoustic kettle]

No

[hard mantle]

okay tyall

[tiny raptor]

marble joker or certificate works

[shell phoenix]

confused why you only use high card and pair

[fallow briar]

uuuhhh.. windows 12?

[manic zealot]

they're incredible for gold stake

[unborn cliff]

dude

[manic zealot]

which is what I mostly play

[acoustic kettle]

Pairslop

But it works so

[thorny axle]

slopslop

[acoustic kettle]

[hard mantle]

do i bother picking up two pair? im planning on just playing flushes

[shell phoenix]

is high card and pair really the most used combo in this game rn?

[tiny raptor]

I try not to overdo pairs in my gold stake runs but they're just so easy

[unborn cliff]

balatro is funslop

[manic zealot]

yeah

[toxic wolf]

this is not going to win but god i am going to throw this into a volcano if it doesn't

[hard mantle]

actually if i got two pair i couldnt open a standard deck, which i need to scale my hologram anyway

[shell phoenix]

gamblebait

[tiny raptor]

The idea is you should get most of your scoring from jokers rather than "better" hands

[ancient gyro]

two pairs have decent viability in harder decks overall

[hard mantle]

this is checkered tho lol

[manic zealot]

i like high card

[unborn cliff]

we have the same winstreak

[ancient gyro]

your question wasn't closed ended

[hard mantle]

fair enuff

[tiny raptor]

Straights are pretty viable too but you can just die by not drawing one so it needs a lot more work

[acoustic kettle]

Flush is checkered's pair

[wintry ice]

pairs are the most boring part of the meta

[manic zealot]

facts

[ancient gyro]

same ongfrfr

[wintry ice]

the fact that they're optimal 90% of the time makes them very overcentralising

[manic zealot]

this is why I want to see the rework of blue stake

[unborn cliff]

hacker

[tiny raptor]

blue stake rework blue seal nerf

its all the blue xs causing problems smh

[ancient gyro]

meh

[fallow briar]

nobody thinks ill win 🥀

[manic zealot]

I really hope blue seals don't get nerfed, they're fine. what needs to happen is to buff the weak things, not nerf the good things

[thorny axle]

scholar why are you here

[acoustic kettle]

The rebate

[ancient gyro]

to invite variety in a roguelike is to balance both sides of the spectrum

[thorny axle]

how would you nerf blue seals???

[hard mantle]

space joker: thoughts?

[manic zealot]

that one I agree with, it should give $4 not 5 that one is fair

[unborn cliff]

most realistic blue seal nerf is just bringing back old blue seals

[tiny raptor]

They overly favor hands that are easier to draw

[ancient gyro]

3*

[thorny axle]

what did old blue seals do

[hard mantle]

is space joker worth the 5 schmeckles

[ancient gyro]

random planet

[manic zealot]

nah, 4 take it or leave it

[acoustic kettle]

Gamble

[toxic wolf]

orange stake is going to make me throw something out the fucking window

[ancient gyro]

4 is still too strong

[thorny axle]

yes

[unborn cliff]

ccibp

[thorny axle]

i'll take him for 10 tbh

[fallow briar]

congrats 💀

[thorny axle]

????

[unborn cliff]

folk

[wintry ice]

should be fine for now

[tiny raptor]

rebate would still be really good if it was 3 per i think

[fallow briar]

i was 4/5 on a flush and all i got was random bs

[hard mantle]

okay yeah im glad yall convinced me on hologram

[tiny raptor]

Happens

[hard mantle]

this is carrying my early game

[fallow briar]

time to go again ig

[manic zealot]

this is an incredible start

[fallow briar]

go for a flush or full house?

[worthy elk]

Flush

[unborn cliff]

clubs flush

[manic zealot]

yeah flush

[fallow briar]

wait i have a straight

lmao

[acoustic kettle]

Diamond flush

[manic zealot]

oh yeah lmao

true

[fallow briar]

and another one right after

nice

[tiny raptor]

Full house with 2 pair in hand is horrible EV

[fallow briar]

good right?

[unborn cliff]

yes

yes

yes

yes

yes

[wintry ice]

one of the better things you could have gotten from that uncommon skip

[acoustic kettle]

Econ is never bad

[unborn cliff]

vagabond

[hard mantle]

do yall like my build chat

[fallow briar]

actually it was the free shop one

[manic zealot]

holy luck

[manic zealot]

it's a bit speculative but I dig it

had potential

[hard mantle]

had </3

[manic zealot]

meant to say has

[barren wigeon]

very blue build

[manic zealot]

true!

[unborn cliff]

needs a splash and an ice cream

[manic zealot]

greatest to do list of all time

[unborn cliff]

and a cloud nine

[hard mantle]

what do we think of it now

[slow epoch]

Oh boy purple stake here I come

[fallow briar]

straight flush 🔥

[wintry ice]

hack could maybe go for riff value

[manic zealot]

better fs

what ante

[ancient gyro]

dies from no mult

[wintry ice]

1 common mult scaler and you're set

[manic zealot]

I agree

[hard mantle]

ante 4

on big blind

[manic zealot]

yeah i would sell the hack unless you already build a lot around it

[hard mantle]

yeah fair enough

[serene forge]

white stake emoji

[fallow briar]

arent straight flushes like this great

[acoustic kettle]

Four fingers shenanigans

[unborn cliff]

i love card destruction

[serene forge]

I hate Four Fingers

[slow epoch]

Do I take photo?

[serene forge]

why the hell would you take photo

[manic zealot]

now I want to take this out of spite

[unborn cliff]

skippppppp

[tiny raptor]

Do it

Goated

[serene forge]

your loss

[hard mantle]

every glass card i played broke

[ancient gyro]

speculative obby licks

[serene forge]

true

[wintry ice]

good to counteract holo ig

[hard mantle]

hologram is at 4 times mult

[fallow briar]

straight flush 🔥

[serene forge]

I think it's funny how the wiki says that erosion is really good in the fragile challenge

[hard mantle]

flush it straight down the toilet

[fallow briar]

🙁

[hard mantle]

man this build is so stupid

[fallow briar]

🙂

[wintry ice]

well riff can be sold now

[hard mantle]

true i suppose

[serene forge]

yay

[fallow briar]

whats the play

[tiny raptor]

Score enough points to beat the big blind

[hard mantle]

i mean. i guess? it helps my abstract joker i suppose but thats not really a permanent stay

oh well. it cant possibly hurt me, its negative

[slow epoch]

I think I sell sly here, right? Pair is at level 7 (100 chips)

[unborn cliff]

skip it

[slow epoch]

Ok

[valid ether]

Skip or I would sell Misprint maybe

altho thats +20 possible mult

Not sure thats the right call

[unborn cliff]

selling misprint makes us weaker

[fallow briar]

how

[valid ether]

That is what I said yes

[ancient gyro]

sly can die

[valid ether]

I just meant cuz the cartomancer is holo its 10mult anyway

But prlly not worth u right

[fallow briar]

nvm got it

[ancient gyro]

its fine

[unborn cliff]

hm what do i sell here

[manic zealot]

that sure is something

[lyric wave]

sell a trib

[manic zealot]

yeah

[unborn cliff]

misclicked and sold every joker

darn it

[ancient gyro]

scribbly

[manic zealot]

I hate when that happens ):

[lyric wave]

aw man not the pocket hex

[fallow briar]

i guess time to be rich

double rocket

[valid ether]

I dream of this

[hard mantle]

im not intending to go endless with this but i think its a pretty solid build

[unborn cliff]

winning

whats holo at

[hard mantle]

x4.75

[naive heath]

gang i cant win the green stake

[unborn cliff]

here win

[hard mantle]

please disable the face joker

[fallow briar]

im keeping these two to ante 8 idc

[ancient gyro]

x17

[fallow briar]

ill probably lose

[hard mantle]

okay actually not the worst outcome

[unborn cliff]

wow

[ancient gyro]

wow

[fallow briar]

i had a x12 holo before

[hard mantle]

yk what? i can take this to endless

[slow epoch]

Hlep what do

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[manic zealot]

don't take the baron

it's bait

[slow epoch]

Pair is level 14 and supernova is giving 23

I was more wondering if abstract is better than sly

[manic zealot]

hmmm

yes

because pair levels are high

[slow epoch]

Ok, sell sly for abstract

[manic zealot]

ye

[fallow briar]

take?

[unborn cliff]

no

[ancient gyro]

depends

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[serene forge]

no

[unborn cliff]

skip

[fallow briar]

🥀

[ancient gyro]

current levels and future levels from burnt can work ok

wrong ss

[serene forge]

if you have to ask if photo should be picked up the answer is more than likely no

[fallow briar]

i have lvl 8 high card though

[naive heath]

chat do yall like madness

[exotic orchid]

If you want to win then baron is a bad choice unless you have your deck fixed. Also get rid of the chip joker. Go all in on mult.

[toxic wolf]

i am finally on a good fuckin run

[manic zealot]

on higher stakes yes

[serene forge]

wtf is mute

[ancient gyro]

i have no feelings for it

[serene forge]

ye

[manic zealot]

it means you're being annoying

[fallow briar]

no

[toxic wolf]

the venerable eternal madness and all eternal joker build

[exotic orchid]

Yes. Auto win joker.

[ancient gyro]

im poor so this is the next best thing

[toxic wolf]

i had a blueprint madness all eternal build with supernova and flushes so i was brutally winning that run

[serene forge]

what happened to pinocchio nose

[fallow briar]

fuck it i bought the photo

[unborn cliff]

dead in 2 rounds

[ancient gyro]

mute is funnier

[distant vault]

God dammit trib

[unborn cliff]

cryptid pog

[ancient gyro]

debatable

[serene forge]

Mistake

[unborn cliff]

evil money

[manic zealot]

crazy

[toxic wolf]

could have been incredible but my build is already too good

[acoustic kettle]

Well snb is just a 2x mult

[unborn cliff]

why thank you showman

[acoustic kettle]

Blowman

[slow epoch]

I sell misprint right? I already have a shit ton of chips from mercury, and it’s less consistent and on average worse than abstract

Small blind shop

[acoustic kettle]

Card sharp is great

[toxic wolf]

this is a tough decision i think the red seal kind is the objectively right decision but money

it absolutely was the right decision

[serene forge]

smiley face feels like a

[serene forge]

yes

[toxic wolf]

well one it's eternal from early in the run and it's alright with the amount of face cards i play

[slow epoch]

Hell yeah purple stake down

[fallow briar]

as much as this is kinda cool i really need to sell one of these dudes

[unborn cliff]

are these good jokers (ante 0)

[fallow briar]

very useful pack

[wheat imp]

50/150 (+2) Cards! :P

[unborn cliff]

backrooms camera

[ancient gyro]

feels like a

[fallow briar]

🙂

[halcyon garden]

W

[manic zealot]

game handed me this build on a silver platter

[tiny raptor]

shortcut is so good man

[manic zealot]

it really is

[distant vault]

I think i won

[toxic wolf]

a very fun build to get my final deck

[pale wolf]

why

[toxic wolf]

got good score

[fallow briar]

i have 22 on high card this obelisk has to carry me 🙏

bye bye rocket

[pale wolf]

but you didnf need fhe score

you needed teh money

[toxic wolf]

...huh

[fallow briar]

i need the score so bad

[pale wolf]

you played glass instead of gold seal for the scoring but you scored over 8x the requirement anyways

so you didnt need glass

[manic zealot]

bro shortcut + telescope is insane

this is a hella fun run

[distant vault]

[pale wolf]

oh theres a sock

i am not right 🦓

[ancient gyro]

classic zeb

[toxic wolf]

i'm kinda spooked

[unreal orbit]

Pareidolia carried so hard ( jk I was in a challenge )

[fallow briar]

bro carried me so hard

[serene forge]

feels like smiley could be removed from this and nothing would change

[distant vault]

Negative vagabond so ugly

[ancient gyro]

i wouldve died to ante 3 wall

[unreal orbit]

Meh

[distant vault]

Like hack

[unreal orbit]

I mean, there's worse

[distant vault]

Madness

[toxic wolf]

anyone get extremely tired after playing more than like 3 long runs of balatro

[unreal orbit]

But one of the best is 4 fingers

[distant vault]

Me after 1

[ancient gyro]

two years ago 3 runs was a daily standard

[manic zealot]

haven't even needed a 5th permanent joker this whole run because of how strong the shortcut gambit has been

[manic zealot]

yes I just took a nap earlier after a heavy run lmao

[toxic wolf]

I feel like hanging chad is legitimately maybe my favourite negative

it looks so clean

[distant vault]

Castle

[manic zealot]

it sure is nice looking

[fallow briar]

why does it have to be perishable

[serene forge]

reasonable then

[manic zealot]

at least it can carry you to the finish line

since ante 7

[ancient gyro]

its still gonna be alive on the finisher blind

[serene forge]

you have five rounds left to play you're fine

[ancient gyro]

r19*

[distant vault]

[pale wolf]

i dint like these

[fallow briar]

true

[ancient gyro]

why is it gween

[distant vault]

Burnt looks like something you'd see in a nightmare

[vocal sun]

whatever the fist is called the negative looks weird

[distant vault]

Lusty

[serene forge]

lusty joker is mario so negative is luigi

[pale wolf]

I'm ok with this

[vocal sun]

idk the color is too weird imo

[serene forge]

I hate Negative Smiley Face

[distant vault]

The best

[vocal sun]

yeah thats pretty nice

[pale wolf]

it looks surprisingly close to hrt

[serene forge]

I LOVE HRT

[distant vault]

Or

[ancient gyro]

one point perspective moment

[pale wolf]

wait
....

[distant vault]

Wait

[pale wolf]

did you apply the negative shader to my joker???

[distant vault]

I just got it from google

[pale wolf]

WHAT

[distant vault]

What happened

Im so confused

[fallow briar]

i love u obelisk

[ancient gyro]

exposed

[distant vault]

Negative obelisk so terrifying

[pale wolf]

oh never mind

It's not the same picture LOL

[manic zealot]

negative midas mask has entered the chat

[distant vault]

I feel like I have to take it

Or I die irl

[fallow briar]

they should add c+++, where you need to find every version of every joker (like negative, polychrome, etc)

[manic zealot]

that will just take a fucking lifetime

[fallow briar]

yup

[ancient gyro]

u buffoon

[distant vault]

Shit is so cool

[distant vault]

😔

[minor portal]

wheel of fortune will love this idea

[night turret]

I might have not thought this through

[hard mantle]

hi chat im back

[manic zealot]

the funny

[pale wolf]

nice.

[manic zealot]

hi back

[hard mantle]

:D

[distant vault]

Flash card gang winning

[hard mantle]

i regret taking the negative spectral ngl

[distant vault]

[hard mantle]

my hand being smaller isnt the end of the world but its annoying

[night turret]

NEG TAG COMING IN CLUTCH

[hard mantle]

i feel like i have a decently strong build going

[night turret]

Okay I officially don’t I know what I’m doing

[night turret]

Oooh nice mult and playing card

[ancient gyro]

67 will never be as funny as 21

you stupid

no im not

[hard mantle]

now i just need to get rid of the hearts

[hard mantle]

if we get lucky, this will be our highest score yet

okay we didnt but we did just score 3 mil in one hand

[fallow briar]

can misprint solo this

[hard mantle]

....i think this is our best build yet

[fallow briar]

oops wrong reply

🙁

[night turret]

Hmmmm

[hard mantle]

we're also secondary leveling high card, cause we want to try and get a bunch of steel cards

[night turret]

Maybe

It’s only 2k

[hard mantle]

:3

[manic zealot]

it was fun while it lasted

[fallow briar]

he did not solo 🙁

thats it for today bye nerds

[manic zealot]

o7

[hard mantle]

this is gonna be a new record...

[ancient gyro]

depends

[worthy elk]

I’m about to eat this chickfaly🤑

[hard mantle]

chat i need your help here. immolate will guaranteed get rid of at minimum 3 hearts here, but the possibility of a polychrome card is REALLY nice

[desert socket]

very similuar to the run i had earlier today

[worthy elk]

GAMBLE IT

[dapper perch]

any idea how to setup for the naneinf ? i have mostly red seal steel kings

[wary crypt]

Fun build :D

[hard mantle]

im going to hit immolate

[manic zealot]

what deck

[hard mantle]

polychrome isnt guaranteed

[dapper perch]

ghost

[manic zealot]

https://balatrogame.fandom.com/wiki/Guide:_naneinf

[hard mantle]

okay. im trying to get rid of hearts, but this is a really good card

what tarot converts to spades? is there one?

[dapper perch]

thanks a lot :D

[wary crypt]

Yea you need that

[nova junco]

The World

[manic zealot]

the world

[wary crypt]

The world

[manic zealot]

ya

[hard mantle]

ty :D

[worthy elk]

Do you guys think if ChatGPT played 100 runs of gold stake it would win 1?

[manic zealot]

I picked up my photochad very late just to push one ante higher

that's the highest ante I ever got to playing mostly straights

[lunar zealot]

za warudo

[hard mantle]

a couple bad hands nearly killed our run just now

[desert socket]

check what showed up for me

[lunar zealot]

Chatgpt doesn't know how to do anything

[hard mantle]

always knew the world was the best stand

[lunar zealot]

And i don't mean this as an insult

[hard mantle]

chat this might be it for our run. ante 11 </3

[lunar zealot]

chatgpt is an llm

[desert socket]

low tier ai

[manic zealot]

if only the supernova wasn't eternal

[lunar zealot]

all it does is predict the most likely word that comes after the previous

[desert socket]

exactly why i didnt get it lol

[lunar zealot]

it's also not trained on balatro

[wanton breach]

The most unreliable High card build that died on ante 11

[hard mantle]

dammit

rip to that run </3

i got a new high score tho

[nova junco]

How long have you been playing the game

?

[hard mantle]

i have 16 hours

[forest birch]

What deck do y'all think Charlie Kirk would have played on

[nova junco]

DAMN

That score is impressive that early lol

[hard mantle]

ghost deck

[lunar zealot]

time to change the subject

[wanton breach]

That's impressive

[hard mantle]

get it. cause he
nvm lets not get banned

[forest birch]

I'm thinking yellow deck

[lunar zealot]

Hey chat how we feelin about full house

[ancient gyro]

never watched the TV show

[nova junco]

He probably didn't play balatro so red deck cus it's the first one unlocked now let's avoid ban

[hard mantle]

ive been asking a lot of questions here, and i watched a few streams on the game before buying it

[wanton breach]

Good for early

[naive heath]

definitely not the black one

[lunar zealot]

flush is better

[nova junco]

I love it I wish it was stronger

[forest birch]

I think it's time to declutter

[lunar zealot]

i don't

[hard mantle]

chat rn

[wanton breach]

Depends, but in my experience, level 3 full house get me farther than level 3 flush

[gentle island]

Average photochad nonsense

[lunar zealot]

flush is easier to deckfix early for is the thing

[wanton breach]

Buys me more time to get a decent joker

[lunar zealot]

aka easier to make which is what you want early

[nova junco]

Full house is a strong hand speaking score, the issue is when you don't have a full hous

[wanton breach]

If i ever play flush i would just do it for fun, not chasing high scores

[hard mantle]

i really like checkered deck ngl, its a stupidly strong deck

[lunar zealot]

What?

that's not my point

[nova junco]

It's not the strongest but it's def easier to learn at first

[wanton breach]

Oh, my bad

[hard mantle]

plasmas the strongest right?

[nova junco]

It was my first gold stake

[lunar zealot]

Full house is barely stronger than 3oak

so just use 3oak

[hard mantle]

regardless im about to do checkered deck red stake

[nova junco]

Yes but you get 2 ranks instead of one

[lunar zealot]

It's fine

[nova junco]

Which can do wonders with synergies

[lunar zealot]

earth scales 5 chips faster than venus

[nova junco]

And also 5 cards obviously

[lunar zealot]

and unless you play specifically triboulet the additional cards only make full house harder to make and thus worse than 3oak

[queen marsh]

im trash at the game can anyone give me any tips

[ancient gyro]

you're statistically more likely to draw the flush 5 card hand with an unfixed deck early game

[lunar zealot]

Make money

[nova junco]

I've never managed to get a 3oak run

[queen marsh]

thx

[nova junco]

Also if you get a 3oak you PROBABLY get a pair too

[lunar zealot]

focus on economy above all else

[lunar zealot]

money helps you get stronger

[unborn cliff]

100%

[hard mantle]

this is a rough first pull but, whatever

[lunar zealot]

if you find an econ joker that you can take then take it and play towards it

[lunar zealot]

probably

what about against mouth and needle and vessel and bell

if you don't get a fhouse you die

[nova junco]

Focus on consistency rather than getting the number as high as possible, like you chips need to score 1000 point in the 600 chips blind so save the money/resources

[ancient gyro]

if you're playing fh, you're not playing it for the planet scaling

[lunar zealot]

better to just play 3oak

[nova junco]

That's what I'm saying lol

[wanton breach]

Flush five is the strongest and best scaling hand in the game, also the easiest to deck fix compared to flush house or straight flush
But if you're talking about flush it self, it's a bait hand

[hard mantle]

THIS is a much better pull

[nova junco]

High card:

[queen marsh]

is it weird that i bought 30 balatro calanders

[nova junco]

Early game this CARRIES

[hard mantle]

not the worst pulls actually

[ancient gyro]

f5 is not a gs a8 poker hand worth to discuss for in a consistency argument

[wanton breach]

High card needs lots of money to scale

[nova junco]

Supernova works great with pairs

[hard mantle]

not gonna build around walkie talkie but its not a bad thing

[lunar zealot]

Now play pairs

[ancient gyro]

also this is a straight up lie lmao

[hard mantle]

but it has a HUGE scaling lmfao

[nova junco]

I'd try to get pairs of 10 and 4

[wanton breach]

Huge?

[nova junco]

What

[hard mantle]

im running checkered deck, but ill keep it in mind

[lunar zealot]

Uff

[wanton breach]

Straight is more huge in terms of scaling

[hard mantle]

it has room for a ton of steel cards

[wanton breach]

Also pretty easy to do

[lunar zealot]

in terms of planet scaling then saturn is by far the best in terms of its ratio

and is one of the reasons straights are still good despite pairs existing

[hard mantle]

im just gonna just keep going with flush

[ancient gyro]

the highest to most consistent planet scaling 5 card hand on average

[spark kernel]

Purple stake is making me lose it

[hard mantle]

i dont like building for pairs, if im building that low im just doing high card instead lmfao

[wanton breach]

You're right, but just in that condition only. That's why i said high card cost a lot of money

[nova junco]

Yeah sometimes you just ignore the fact that you're on checkered if you get the right jokers lol

[dapper perch]

should i use both of the brainstorm for baron or mime ?

[ancient gyro]

pairs don't have a chip scaling deficit that hc has problems with

[night turret]

I FINALLY BEAT BLUE STAKE ON THE 5th TRY!

[dapper perch]

nice

[wanton breach]

Use it for baron

[hard mantle]

that VERY quickly becomes a moot point

[mortal summit]

Pair is barely any harder than hc but scales 50% faster why would you go for hc

[night turret]

This spectral was so dumb as well

[wanton breach]

You already have blueprint copying mime, that's enough

[ancient gyro]

how so

[dapper perch]

got it

thanks

[wanton breach]

No problem

[hard mantle]

coz having a bunch of steel cards is insane

[hard mantle]

does not take many planets to get to a point where its whatever. even better if you have a burnt joker

i love high card!!!!!

[mortal summit]

How are you consistently getting 7 steel cards in hand. (You could be decreasing hand size but that’s not very common)

[thick junco]

Bro is Mr.Negative

[wanton breach]

I used to love high card too, but when straight came into my live...

[dapper perch]

huh

[lunar zealot]

Have you considered high card has no duo or see2 synergy and is harder to obelisk pivot with

[ancient gyro]

you have obby licks favoring pair spam, lack of chips for scoring as 50% of your score is chips with mercury having 50% more score. 4 pairs r2 with nova or any common hand mult scaler barely beats it, access to x mult jokers (c2, duo), etc.

[lunar zealot]

High card is fine but definitely not as optimal as pairs for gold stake

[hard mantle]

tarot cards, discarding, and card packs mostly

[lunar zealot]

i think its use case is for blackboard when playing cards are restrictive

as well as obelisk

[wanton breach]

You don't play obelisk if you're focusing on high card

[rugged pollen]

Oh no verdant leaf

[spark kernel]

This stake is from hell

[lunar zealot]

you should be playing towards obelisk no matter what (at least early) because it's one of the best jokers in the game

[nova junco]

Sadly in gold stake pairslop is often the most consistent strat

[hard mantle]

whoops, i fucked that run up LOL

[ancient gyro]

which is not what she said

[queen marsh]

what deck should i use

[ancient gyro]

black

[lunar zealot]

Magic

[hard mantle]

knew i should have gone with my gut and stuck with flush

[slow epoch]

I beat it with pair build

[mortal summit]

That’s like 10 steels per run that’s lowkey crazy

[ancient gyro]

most of my joker records are done with black 👅

[slow epoch]

Got lucky with a duo, but consistent hands are good

[lyric wave]

blue stake is so so much worse

[wanton breach]

It is harder to get High card online in my opinion, you need lots of planet, baron + mime, or perkeo, and also steel card and +hand sizes

[lunar zealot]

That is not high card

[nova junco]

That's the biggest difficulty jump tbh

[spark kernel]

I prefer blue stake over purple

[lunar zealot]

that is baron/mime

[hard mantle]

ten steels if you're a coward

[mortal summit]

IMO purple was the hardest stake

[lyric wave]

obv purple is harder since it's a later stake, but blue's way more of a jump

[ancient gyro]

don't car

[wanton breach]

It's good until i played all hands to a same number

[lunar zealot]

Yeah and

play 14 pairs

you're good for the entire rest of the run

[wanton breach]

I'm focusing on scaling joker or joker that generally gets better with deck fixing

[lunar zealot]

endless doesn't exist

[lunar zealot]

obelisk does scale

[nova junco]

Yeah and score how lol

[lunar zealot]

In fact it scales faster than yorick

[lunar zealot]

have existing +mult and +chips

don't be condescending towards me

[wanton breach]

But it's easy to reset

[nova junco]

What😭

[lunar zealot]

then don't reset it

[nova junco]

This is a game about funny jokers

[lunar zealot]

14 is a good buffer

[pale wolf]

only if you have short term memory loss

[nova junco]

I think the correct pick is swashbuckler but look at greedy he's so orange

[pale wolf]

proper play you shouldnt be forced to reset obelisk almost ever

[ancient gyro]

realistically never going to happen when you've played the game long enough for the purposes of winning with unconditional scoring sources

[wanton breach]

So i need to play as much pair as possible and then play another hand?
But what if i had played all hands to the same level as pair?

[lunar zealot]

That will never happen

play 14 pairs and then pivot to other hands

[ancient gyro]

if your name is zebra and it was bus instead of obby licks in 2025

[pale wolf]

yummy

[ancient gyro]

not realistically going to happen

[nova junco]

Hell yeah just get them an enhancement

[ancient gyro]

you're asking questions that youve never experienced first hand to that extent frequently enough to worry about

[queen marsh]

what is this shop

[mortal summit]

You won’t. There are 96 hands in a balatro ante 8 game. you can only get 7 hands up to 14 at a maximum

[hard mantle]

yup

im doing an ace spam build lol;

[wanton breach]

It happened to me. Maybe because i get it a little too early and didn't play it right

[ancient gyro]

main obstacle short term for scaling obelisk initially is just finding unconditional scoring sources

[mortal summit]

Ig you could burglar or hieroglyph but those are niche

[lunar zealot]

Yeah play 14 pairs

[pale wolf]

sometimes you have like 28 high card 32 pairs played and obelisk isnt worth taking but thats not many runs

[lunar zealot]

which you should be doing anyway

[wanton breach]

True, that is what happened to me

[lunar zealot]

which is why obelisk is good

also i just wanna say

[queen marsh]

what should i get

[ancient gyro]

i mean

[nova junco]

Or pivot later

[pale wolf]

obelisk also has antisynergy with some other good jokers

[lunar zealot]

Obelisk, scaling at x2.4 mult per ante, is faster than both yorick at x1.3 and madness at x1

[nova junco]

Like stencil

[ancient gyro]

novar

[lunar zealot]

obelisk is good

[wanton breach]

I always find obelisk while im broke and have limited room for scaling it without loosing

[ancient gyro]

burny

[hard mantle]

IT IS TIME TO SET OFF AN ACTUAL BOMB

[lunar zealot]

Fuck nova

[pale wolf]

card sharp, blackboard

[lunar zealot]

burnmpt...

[hard mantle]

oh hey my gros went extinct

[ancient gyro]

anecdote

moment

[nova junco]

Good now you can find a different banana

[hard mantle]

ZA WARUDO

[lunar zealot]

i love blackboard

It's like cavendish but it's uncommon

so it gets bbc value

[queen marsh]

should i get bull or castle

[nova junco]

That's great but you have to pay attention, your steel red seal ace is hearts so you have to change it

[lunar zealot]

what ante are you on

[wanton breach]

Real

[hard mantle]

im aware

[wanton breach]

I'm just a fool with obelisk

[dapper perch]

should i keep it this way or do 2 brainstorm for baron and 2 blueprint for mime ?

[wanton breach]

Not hate it, just never used it

[night turret]

Why does hack have to appear now…

[queen marsh]

2

[nova junco]

In general you should have equal number of barons and mimes

[ancient gyro]

this doesn't line up with what you said a couple minutes ago

[dapper perch]

okay

[hard mantle]

blackboard might end up getting sold at some point but i hope i can build into it lol

[ancient gyro]

blackboard works right off the rip

[wanton breach]

What always lined up with what i said is I'm always a fool

[nova junco]

[hard mantle]

NVM BYE BLACKBOARD LMFAO

[night turret]

Alright run ended, at least I beat blue stake!

[queen marsh]

i feel like i should go for jumbo pack

[night turret]

Highest wee joker has ever been

[nova junco]

YES COPY THE DAMN ACE

[ancient gyro]

@serene forge

also why

[nova junco]

You should save your money

[hard mantle]

why what?

its so peak

[wanton breach]

I would take that if I'm on checkered deck
Playing flush heart and leaving behind spades

[nova junco]

Don't

[mortal summit]

Aren’t you playing bloodstone? Wouldn’t you only want to level up flushes?

[hard mantle]

im playing exclusively 5 of a kind red heart aces

[ancient gyro]

she threw away blackboard for shitstone

[nova junco]

Then that's not 5 of a kind, that's flush 5 (5 cards, same rank, same suit)

[wanton breach]

Actually That's a flush five 🤓☝

[mortal summit]

If they’re all hearts it’d be flush five not 5oak, and depending on how early you are you’ll want to pivot to flush five for more bloodstone

[hard mantle]

(tbf its not all red heart aces yet)

[mortal summit]

I’d imagine the plan is to make them all hearts

[restive spade]

I've got a bit of a dumb question.
I've been watching alot of turtlebean's videos and I'm very new to balatro and not long just got it.

I was wondering the little joker tool tips that are underneath them in bean's videos, is there an option to enable them or was it like a mod thing?

[nova junco]

Yeah but they're gonna be soon enough and it's probably not worth it to level the five of a kind, take the round and the shop to find deaths

[hard mantle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

im almost at ante 8 anyway, im only playing this to red stake checkered deck

[nova junco]

I could be wrong since I don't watch them but I think you're referring to the "joker display" mod

[restive spade]

Ahh then it is a mod damn. Gotta set that up later.
Yeah it had like odds and stuff like the gm banana it had its mult and destruction chance

[dapper perch]

should i go for the naneinf or is it too risky ?

[restive spade]

Yeah why not

[mortal summit]

How long can you last?

[nova junco]

Not sure but you can do the math if you care enough

[dapper perch]

huh

[wanton breach]

At least stell a card first then cryptid

[dapper perch]

i'll collect more cryptids

[pale wolf]

im made of

[nova junco]

What I'm made of

[mortal summit]

Like how many blinds can you play before you die.

Cause I’d wait until the last second

[ancient gyro]

five nights

🐻

[nova junco]

five nights at F||ibonacci||

[wanton breach]

Five nights at Jimbo's

[hard mantle]

yay!

[dapper perch]

i think just another ante

before i start using more cryptids than i get per round

[nova junco]

That's 3 rounds? That means 15 more cryptids which is actually a lot

[hard mantle]

Oh welp

its over

[nova junco]

?

[hard mantle]

i accidentally reset my ride the bus and the boss blind disables heart cards

[nova junco]

What's the blind requirements?

[hard mantle]

and i have no way of rerolling it even if i got past this round </3

[dapper perch]

im currently using 1-2 cryptids per round

[hard mantle]

way higher than i can get

you win some you lose some

[wanton breach]

Finally a good paredolia without ever meeting the plant

[nova junco]

Holy xMult

[ancient gyro]

gee how'd that happen

[acoustic kettle]

And what does parei do exactly

[wanton breach]

I'm on abandoned deck

[acoustic kettle]

You only need like 3 faces for photochad

[wanton breach]

I'm high on high card

[hard mantle]

accidentally reset my ride the bus + got an unlucky hand

it happens

[nova junco]

Aura farming, obviously

[ancient gyro]

or this #🕹・game-discussion message

[hard mantle]

alright, time to get a bunch of enhanced cards

[hard mantle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[wanton breach]

I definitely can open a pack or two to get at least 5 face cards, but paredolia is funnier

[hard mantle]

no point in crying over spilled milk

[ancient gyro]

it was the first lesson to look over

[acoustic kettle]

Most reliable bloodstone

[wanton breach]

True

[ancient gyro]

to recite the quote of insanity

[hard mantle]

bloodstone was actually super reliable

[acoustic kettle]

[dapper perch]

im going for the naneinf

[manic zealot]

what's the build

[wanton breach]

Scroll up

[nova junco]

Grimbo scaled to e308 I think

[dapper perch]

i dont think i'll get to naneinf but im hopeful

[nova junco]

If you're going for naneinf might as well use all your cryptids

[wanton breach]

Why the steel is so white

[hard mantle]

i couldnt pass that club up.

[wanton breach]

Oh

[dapper perch]

yeah im still using all of em

[nova junco]

WEE RUN

Hi Very lesbian gay lace

[queen marsh]

no

[wanton breach]

Ice cream

[nova junco]

Isn't that the ice cream

[queen marsh]

yep

[dapper perch]

use 2 for baron and the other 2 blueprints for mime right ?

[queen marsh]

i will be back with more

[wanton breach]

Yes

[dapper perch]

okay

let's hope it gets to naneinf

[queen marsh]

way harder

[wanton breach]

Or lets wait for an expert to say a word
