[deep ferry]

makes sense

[lavish ridge]

i wanted more ;_;

[deep ferry]

I guess a lot of stuff is possible in this game

[molten thicket]

but how would copying juggler work

[pale wolf]

yeah it would be kind of weird to be able to freely change how much hand size you have, it would be completely free

because when your hand size gets bigger you draw more cards to fill it up

[mossy finch]

I beat da fragile challenge deck

[lavish ridge]

i suppose

[molten thicket]

that would probably make juggler way way waaay too op

[pale wolf]

I think they should change all of these passive abilities to start of round abilities and make them all copy compatible though, like burglar

they being all 3 of localthunk

[molten thicket]

imagine how broken jokers like merry andy would be with that

[candid niche]

it's peak

[molten thicket]

who needs deckcutting when you can dig for eternity

[pale wolf]

In my eyes merry Andy would also have the penalty copied
Don't ask why, it just feels right

burglar is already kind of electric being able to be copied

and that's really fun so I feel like it would be better to make the passive abilities active instead of burglar passive

[molten thicket]

yeah but burglar's downside is no discards and bp/bs doesn't do the downside again

[pale wolf]

You don't know that it doesn't

[molten thicket]

what is it gonna do

[pale wolf]

it removes all of your zero discards

[molten thicket]

make you have -6 discards?

what does that even mean

[pale wolf]

no?

it would remove all the discards you currently have, which would be zero

[worn meteor]

You get into debt with the green deck with -6 discards

[molten thicket]

well yeah

but thats basically no downside

[pale wolf]

That's how it is right now

[quartz ember]

too bad

[pale wolf]

😭

[mossy finch]

Looks pretty horrifying

[shell dagger]

That’s smashing

[pale wolf]

burglar and Andy are the only Jokers that take away from your resources when you pick them up

so I think they'd be the only special cases

[molten thicket]

stuntman

[pale wolf]

oh and stuntmania

honestly yeah, make stuntman hand size loss at the start of round, and make it copyable so that if you are copying stuntman at the start of the round you just screw yourself over

Make it an attention check, like dagger

[molten thicket]

but thats such a bad mechanic

it just fucks the player over with no upsides

[pale wolf]

I think you're missing the real issue with this idea of most passive abilities being made active abilities, and that's shop packs

How are you going to handle hand size Jokers if they give you your hand size at the start of blind, You won't have the extra hand size in the packs

[candid niche]

we abstracting

[molten thicket]

exactly and thats why i dont think it should be copyable

[glossy forge]

Is Ante 1 Hieroglyph a trap

I have a mail-in rebate in the shop

[narrow igloo]

no do it

ascend to ante 0

[molten thicket]

do not

[glossy forge]

But... Money

[narrow igloo]

dont listen to this guy

[molten thicket]

but like why

[glossy forge]

I'll report back if I win or die B)

[narrow igloo]

why not

[quartz ember]

its not really, but its also not a good play

[narrow igloo]

its funny tho

[glossy forge]

NVM I can't afford it 😭😭

Sorry for the bait

[quartz ember]

it is

[candid niche]

man

black deck is rough

[glossy forge]

My double tag is from cola

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[little nexus]

yo im new to the game would anyone be willing to hop on a call with me and help me through a game?

[serene forge]

100%

[molten thicket]

hey should bp/bs copy the polychrome/foil/holo from other jokers

[serene forge]

meh

[shell dagger]

ehhh

[tawny crag]

nah

[shell dagger]

can’t copy negative

[molten thicket]

i mean invis/ankh cant copy negative

[shell dagger]

and then if it could copy holo/poly/foil you’d need to make the distinction

ik

[molten thicket]

oh yeah

you need to differentiate between the copied joker's edition and the bp/bs edition

[serene forge]

it's a blueprint which means it is only able to copy the base ability of a joker and therefore not the editions that are tacked on after the fact

lore reason

trust

[molten thicket]

bu-but-wha-

ok fine

[little nexus]

would anyone be willing to coach me im new

[candid niche]

this is looking promising

[mossy finch]

Photochad hits hard

Brutha

[shell dagger]

make sure to copy the photo

[mossy finch]

Sure mate

Brutha😭

[left marlin]

Isn’t it far better to copy the chad rather than the photo or am I insane

[mossy finch]

In my second reroll I got this

In my first I got dna

In the booster pack I got idol

lol

Now tell me what should I get rid of?

[shell dagger]

you aren’t insane but your maths is wrong

[plucky shuttle]

probably idol if you dont have deck building

[shell dagger]

copy photo is 4^3, copy chad is 2^5

but 4^3 = 2^6

[mossy finch]

Alright I just started this run 3 minutes ago

[mossy finch]

Don't worry I got the brainstorm and blueprint in the same shop

[little nexus]

can someone coach me im new to the game and have been having a lot of trouble : (

[plucky shuttle]

best way to learn is just by playing the game. you cant learn something if you dont know how it works yourself. once you have an understanding of the game, watching some informational youtubers like Balatro University who explains his every decision is very helpful

[pale wolf]

Balatro University @drspectred

YT

[mossy finch]

Feel the game

[mild ruin]

Just had a run go to ante 17. Didn't see a single Oops.

Didn't need it, just found it funny. I had overstock+ by like ante 7 too

[candid niche]

bro Michel JUST died and Judgement gives me Cavendish

[mild ruin]

I'm kinda beefing with Cavendish... I've had 2 die in the last 3 days

[candid niche]

ok game

(this is good, i need to glass my face cards for Canio)

[eternal pumice]

I hate bloodstone

[mild ruin]

Okay 15 mult

[slow epoch]

I have a brainstorm and a gros michel, if i copy michel, can I lose my brainstorm?

[tawny crag]

no

[slow epoch]

ok

[candid niche]

amazing

[slow epoch]

What’s the best thing to be copying here?

[wintry ice]

depends on planet levels

[slow epoch]

obv cartomancer when selecting a blind, but is cavendish before my flash card better?

[hidden lance]

lol

[slow epoch]

pair build, its at level 5

[hidden lance]

i just wanted the voucher but sure

[slow epoch]

nvm, flash card is better
cavendish only would give 12

[tawny crag]

i hate bloodstone

[wintry ice]

yea

[candid niche]

well, it was a good run

i never thought canio was good, but i guess i was wrong

[hexed coral]

this is what i live for, still need to find cavendish because gros michel popped first ante

[candid niche]

any tips on unlocking Hit the Road?

[tawny crag]

deaths

[candid niche]

i'm on Erratic with 7 jacks

[serene forge]

my reaction when i see someone on reddit complaining about the plant and the top comment is "just buy directors cut bro":

[lavish ridge]

hit the road sucks so bad

just dont unlock it

[candid niche]

yeah but i dont want to not have it unlocked

[lavish ridge]

jk you actually have to throw your run to unlock it though

[serene forge]

it's just erratic deck

[lavish ridge]

the only shortcut is to start with jacks on erratic and then just try to do it on the first couple rounds

[candid niche]

well that was easy

[serene forge]

nice

[candid niche]

now i'm missing the one where i need to play four 7 of club, the one where you win in 12 rounds or less, the one where you play a hand of 5 gold cards, and thats it

[hexed coral]

four 7 of clubs is bs

[pale wolf]

it's fine

[hexed coral]

almost impossible if you dont get dna early

[pale wolf]

like 1 magic deck run

[candid niche]

well we have 2 of them on erratic

[candid niche]

magic deck?? how come

oh, for Death and the Fool?

[serene forge]

starter fools

find a death and you win

[pale wolf]

tarots in general

[serene forge]

because you have 3 deaths

[hexed coral]

1 is better than 2 right

[candid niche]

yes

well

[glass mountain]

2ND WIN EVER LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

[slow epoch]

Speculative wraith?

[candid niche]

that's
(chips) * ((base mult * ((22)*4 retriggers))*3)
vs
(chips) * ((base mult * ((22)*2 retriggers))*3*3)

[hexed coral]

no idea what to replace, probably cavendish and scale the hologram though

[forest birch]

The banana must perish

[slow epoch]

Oh actually I think I just take the blue seal for constellation

[heady narwhal]

seems unnecessarily risky when the run's almost over

[glass mountain]

or chips * (basemult * (4) * 2 retriggers)*9)

[candid niche]

whatever

[glass mountain]

the 2nd one

[slow epoch]

Congrations I is winner

[ivory bridge]

Btw my favorite deck is green deck ,my bad for being a absolute chad

[slow epoch]

Verdant leaf really doesn’t do shit

Green deck is great because I don’t have to think about or get any economy jokers, because scoring jokers are economy if I oneshot every blind

[tranquil jacinth]

I just installed brainstorm and did the settings on it, but how do I active the rerole

[heady narwhal]

green deck only loses you money

(on blue stake and above)

[candid niche]

dude theres no freaking Deaths

[heady narwhal]

so you really do need econ jokers

[slow epoch]

good point but I was playing red stake, and burglar goes kinda hard if you find one

[hushed dust]

do I take baron

and what do I replace if so

[tranquil jacinth]

Lucky cat probably

[hushed dust]

cat is at 7.5mult rn

[tranquil jacinth]

Maybe sock then

[mortal needle]

OKAY SHOWMAN, I'LL TAKE THE MONEY 😭

[slow epoch]

green deck early feels a little like yellow, because you just have way more money in ante 1, except you also don't need to save, so you can buy that shop 1 blueprint

[hushed dust]

I was going 5 lucky cards every hand but maybe I replace the cat and switch to pairs?

[slow epoch]

granted, i don't know what green feels like in higher stakes

[serene forge]

I hate Green Deck

me when i get punished twice as hard for scaling my hand based jokers

[tranquil jacinth]

What stake are you on

[hushed dust]

I think this is red or green

I already beat it im just tryna get as far as possible

[tranquil jacinth]

Then it's not to bad to get rid of lk lucky and pivot to high card it pair

[tranquil jacinth]

Oh then switch out lucky

100¢

[hushed dust]

how should I order the jokers

[tranquil jacinth]

Doesnt matter as look as you ha e BP copying baron and raised fist at the front

[hushed dust]

other random question

does the baron trigger count as a card ability for mime to retrigger

[solemn bough]

Yes

[toxic wolf]

You can't use ectoplasm when you have one joker i'm disappointed

[solemn bough]

And thats a way you naneinf

[solemn bough]

What ?

[hushed dust]

what should I focus on to get there

like bunch of steels with red stamps

or glass maybe?

[tranquil jacinth]

Yes

[terse dock]

Is the joker editioned

[hidden lance]

wow

[candid niche]

we did it

[toxic wolf]

i realize i may very well be profoundly stupid

[candid niche]

....why didnt it work?

[terse dock]

:brilliant:

[hidden lance]

is that for seeing double?

[candid niche]

yea

[terse dock]

Debuffed

[severe arch]

Run ALMOST ended cuz The Plant apppeared and almost killed my run but i managed to get Mr Bones beforehand after rerolling for atleast 40$ Burn Joker is kinda mid ngl

[candid niche]

bro thats bullshit

the hand contained 4 7 of club

[solemn bough]

Well if you have baron the thing to do is to look for the mime and blueprint and brainstorm to copy them, and definitely play high card with a lot of red seal steal king

[terse dock]

The 7s of clubs dont exist

[harsh flame]

alr so i have
4 finger, shortcut, raised fist, burglar, blueprint, card sharp
and cavendish is in the shop
should i take it, and if yes, what do i replace? straight is only level 2 because the entire time all my planet packs have been jupiter

[solemn bough]

Hmmm I am seeing double

[harsh flame]

so far my only real mult giving card has been raised fist

[terse dock]

Yes kill finger

[harsh flame]

alr

[hushed dust]

is there a reason im not getting spectral packs at all anymore this far into the run

[candid niche]

AAAAAAAGH

man

[solemn bough]

They are very rare you know? Don't know exactly the stat but seeing a lot is uncommon

[hushed dust]

maybe its just cus im playing slower further into a run

idk

[solemn bough]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[harsh flame]

i won :D

had 1 hand left on c heart

[shell dagger]

you’re also probably seeking them out so their scarcity is more noticeable

[hushed dust]

yea fair

[serene forge]

how did plant kill you but not leaf

also you're wrong

[glass mountain]

balchicottro

[candid niche]

unlocked seeing double :3

[slow epoch]

Oh yeah, I’m really taking advantage of that extra hand size

[severe arch]

Mr Bones

also I got a negative flush joker so i sold that beforehand

[slow epoch]

invisible jimbo unlocked

burglar is my favorite econ joker

[nova elk]

should I rearrange it some way?

[terse dock]

O LORD

[terse dock]

Sell misprint

[nova elk]

sold

should i rearrange anything?

[terse dock]

It doesn't matter but I put econ and utility jokers on tje left

[terse dock]

Why are you copying 7s and not 9s

Take bean

[candid niche]

...because i already had 7s before finding cloud 9

[terse dock]

I dont car pivot

[candid niche]

yeah its a good time too

[valid ether]

Just need 12 strengths at exactly the right time to get them all 9-eing

[terse dock]

Or 24 deaths of course

[valid ether]

Right!

6 strengths 6 fools works also

Orrr some cryptids but then you need some deletion

Sounds like death (both kinds)

[candid niche]

i lost

i unlocked seeing double though

[serene forge]

no I don't understand how you were able to crush leaf but not plant

[candid niche]

....how tf do i unlock Merry Andy

[serene forge]

since debuffs don't look like they hurt you at all

[candid niche]

i guess Anaglyph deck makes me want to skip?

[serene forge]

plasma white stake

[candid niche]

oh

[serene forge]

anaglyph encourages using all your skips on one big one

so actually it's quite poor for this

[candid niche]

i see

[serene forge]

plasma white stake you just get some chip jokers and you should be ok

[candid niche]

when do i start skipping?

[serene forge]

you can play four rounds before you have to full skip

so id probably play the first two antes to get stuff then start skipping

[shell dagger]

yeah reset for a good start on plasma white

like bull or stuntman

[hushed dust]

Could someone explain how to play the first shop, I am just kinda relying on being lucky there to start off my runs

[shell dagger]

watch balatro university

[hushed dust]

what video specifically?

[shell dagger]

no one video is gonna show you how to play the first shop

[slow epoch]

Shit what do I do

If I can get started I think I can win this run

Do I Reroll?

Boss is window (diamonds debuffed)

[shell dagger]

absolutely do not reroll

I would take shortcut

[slow epoch]

Yeah ok

I guess I’m going straights

[glad echo]

Shortcut is goated

[vale mesa]

shortcut makes stupid looking straights lol

[serene forge]

I love Shortcut

[glad shore]

is painted deck good for getting the invisible joker

[slow epoch]

Fuck I did not get a mult joker or any god damn Buffoon packs

[vale mesa]

yeah

[lapis juniper]

is the steam and switch version of balatro the same?

[serene forge]

post seed

[slow epoch]

sorry i already moved on
i lost on like ante 2

big blind

[serene forge]

awa

[candid niche]

man

merry andy is hard to unlock

[south badger]

i had the run in the bag then my cavendish fucking exploded

[candid niche]

idk how to use ghost deck

[vale mesa]

lol ive never had a cavendish die on me

[slow epoch]

reroll for a good scaling mult joker ante 1, hex it, and play around it

[vale mesa]

you just play it
ghost deck is fun

[slow epoch]

reroll seed, not shop

[candid niche]

wait i meant plasma deck

mb guys

[slow epoch]

oh

[vale mesa]

lol

[slow epoch]

chips

[south badger]

oh btw i got a run with both baron and mime first shop

[vale mesa]

im struggling to beat plasma deck on purple stake lol

*orange

[serene forge]

im surprised you even survived that long

[south badger]

im lowk ahh at dis game

[serene forge]

well no

[south badger]

but i got ante 11 run today

[serene forge]

im saying that because baron is fucking atrocious early

[south badger]

idk

[vale mesa]

lol

[candid niche]

i'm trying to unlock merry andy...

this is hard

[vale mesa]

whats the unlock req
i dont think i have it either

[candid niche]

win in 12 rounds or less

[vale mesa]

ok

[south badger]

i unlocked almost all the jokers almost a year ago but all my deck stake progress got eviscerated

[vale mesa]

oh wow thats a lot of skips

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[slow epoch]

yeah it's legit every other rounf

[candid niche]

i'm freaking stupid

i keep playing blinds when i need to skip every single one

[vale mesa]

i love bloodstone lmao

[minor raven]

Should I buy brainstorm ?

[serene forge]

bye photo

[quartz ember]

just commit to fullskip, believe in the heart of the cards

[quartz ember]

bye bye photo

[quartz ember]

and copy some tribulet for max scoring once you need it

and fix your deck more

[glass mountain]

BRO

[empty ermine]

apparently, Black Hole doesnt contribute to the Constellation Joker :( I didnt know this LOL

[vale mesa]

its a spectral lol

[empty ermine]

Yeah that's a fair point

[winter edge]

hello… i’m still fairly new to balatro and i need tips to literally just get through Black Deck white stake… 😭 i’ve been at it for 3 days and can’t seem to get past ante 4 or 5… ik it shouldn’t be THIS HARD.

[south badger]

gng should i gamble with the space joker or the joker pack

[unborn cliff]

do i just die if i take it after ante 2

[last path]

just achieved the fastest cavendish. shop 1. gross micheal. after round 2 extint. shop 2 cavendish

[south badger]

now do the fastest cavendish death

[unborn cliff]

i had that

[glass mountain]

is ts real?

[unborn cliff]

skip for arcana pack, gros michel, dies after that round, right in shop, dies right after boss blind

it was crazy

[hard plover]

No

[south badger]

mine cavendish died today on ante 7 and i lost bcuz of ts

[serene forge]

fake

it should be a rare tag and a poly tag

smh my head

[unborn cliff]

hi hornet

[serene forge]

hi

[south badger]

so

[maiden hedge]

Holy shit

[unborn cliff]

hackar

[south badger]

insane, never seeen a legit egg

so

[south badger]

spaceman or joker pack

fast

i need it now

[vale mesa]

reroll fr

[south badger]

fr

[serene forge]

don't talk shit about egg

[serene forge]

space jonkler is good

[south badger]

did ts

[vale mesa]

it dont trigger

[serene forge]

what the FUCK are you doing

[south badger]

this

[vale mesa]

lol

[serene forge]

you should be imprisoned for doing that

[maiden hedge]

Sorry hornet

[south badger]

red or green

[serene forge]

green

[south badger]

true

[serene forge]

though I don't think you need either tbh

you should save money

[south badger]

alr

is ts enough moneys

[serene forge]

yea

[south badger]

'i may not have a brain gentelmen, but i have an idea'

should i do it

[serene forge]

yes you should play the blind

[distant vault]

Flash beating red card again

[vale mesa]

ok but poly red card looks cool

[south badger]

fr

[distant vault]

True

[south badger]

i mean the skip

[vale mesa]

meant as in dont

[serene forge]

canio sucks

[south badger]

hes ugly

[vale mesa]

opening 100 arcana packs and finding not one single hanged man:

[serene forge]

that was a joke obviously

canio is awesome

[south badger]

final answer: should i skip

[distant vault]

Chicot is right there

[serene forge]

no

[primal eagle]

glass joker is the goat

[serene forge]

look for money tags

[south badger]

they both ugly

[south badger]

no

[distant vault]

Another flash card victory

[serene forge]

wdym no

they're the best ones

[primal eagle]

whenever i wanna protect my glass cards while playing them i just love to have a glass joker around

so they dont break

[vale mesa]

can't 2 chicots give you like permanent hand size

[south badger]

im the best gaming

[distant vault]

Flash card gang really be the best

[royal ore]

screw you obelisk haters

[serene forge]

yes but that's not really applicable outside of endless

[serene forge]

gremlin nobelisk

[serene forge]

why'd you even ask

[south badger]

ragebait

[distant vault]

Guys was this worth

[serene forge]

absolutely

[vale mesa]

whats the highest ante anyone has reached skipping all small and big blinds

[distant vault]

Here it is after the win

[primal eagle]

permanent +1 hand size benefits (almost) every single run, no matter what ante

but like of course you don't wanna ankh a chicot and lose your scoring and expect that 1 in like 20 chance to have a manacle

[glass mountain]

which should i buy?

[serene forge]

that's.... exactly what my point is

[primal eagle]

nothing

[serene forge]

dagger then kill suck

[primal eagle]

save money

[serene forge]

then kill photo

[distant vault]

Fuck photo

[glass mountain]

tryna do photochad but i havent seen chad anywhere lol

[south badger]

kill everything with dagger then lose

[vale mesa]

buy the free blueprint and foil photograph in the mini shop at the bottom right

[glass mountain]

i have the bp alr

[primal eagle]

↑ don't listen to this guy btw, easier to sell sock and photo manually

[serene forge]

also you should buy the schermafbeelding gekopieerd joker

[south badger]

a man who thinks all the time

[glass mountain]

it's a windows message ofc it's not a joker 😭

tf

[vale mesa]

wait really?

[serene forge]

it's a joker wdym

[distant vault]

No way

[serene forge]

it's right there in the shop

[distant vault]

Really

[vale mesa]

bruh what

[south badger]

its a secret joker

[vale mesa]

oh ty

[south badger]

it has 1/1000000000 chance to appear

[vale mesa]

shouldve bought a lottery ticket

[south badger]

it turns ur device into an atomic warhead and detonates it

[vale mesa]

rip

[south badger]

he or she didnt buy it so yk

[tranquil steppe]

[serene forge]

Defeat the Boss Blind

what did you pick up photo for bruh

[vale mesa]

my strat is get 5 jokers and then save up double tags until i find a top up tag

[south badger]

done

[vale mesa]

now put it into your savings account

[south badger]

im top 2 wealthiest ppl in the world rn

[vale mesa]

houses are expensive nowadays

[south badger]

pulling a full house would be peak but im using low skill flushes

[marble pewter]

This was probably my luckiest run ever

[vale mesa]

gotta make a graph plotting
the average income of an unemployed person
against
price of a $100 house
across the years

[serene forge]

full hourse is probably the worst hand in the game

also what

flushes with supernova

[vale mesa]

ew flushes

[south badger]

im spamming flushes

[vale mesa]

i don't even think they're bad

i just hate them

[serene forge]

pairs are better

[south badger]

they lowk so no skill

[vale mesa]

5oak is fun
it also requires no skill

[serene forge]

what's your flush supernova at

[south badger]

never ever played a pair run

[south badger]

18

so 19

[serene forge]

you're so close you have nova and carp sharp

[south badger]

yeah but i dont think pivoting would begood

[serene forge]

yeah not here but

im just saying so you know

[south badger]

im gunnna go pair build next game

sounds very fun ngl

[manic zealot]

Pair gaming

[vale mesa]

to most efficiently play pair builds
start a new run and destroy 3 complete suits

voila

[south badger]

huh

[viral ledge]

what should i copy

[serene forge]

hologram probably

[south badger]

banana

[manic zealot]

Definitely your hologram

Or banana

[south badger]

then when banana explode sell blueprint

[serene forge]

it is absolutely hologram

since it's above 2x

[viral ledge]

bet

[south badger]

bet

[vale mesa]

special effect ✨

[south badger]

im not even gonna ask ima just say its photochad time

[distant vault]

[serene forge]

baron

[vocal sun]

bruh i rerolled and got eternal sock in it

[serene forge]

why did you reroll with 11 dollar

[vocal sun]

why not

[south badger]

fr

[vocal sun]

i got drunkard so its worth it imo

[serene forge]

because that is a super blunder

[vocal sun]

idgaf ill play how i want to

[serene forge]

I don't care

[vocal sun]

im not tryna play perfectly with no mistakes im tryna have fun

kinda the point of games

[serene forge]

i agree

[vale mesa]

yeah but like
what if rerolling gave you +100 joker slots somehow

[serene forge]

having fun is good

[vocal sun]

so why are you questioning what i do

[serene forge]

that's why i like trying to win

[serene forge]

so true

[hollow nymph]

Is this optimal?

[south badger]

it happened to me once

[south badger]

i dont know

maybe

[vocal sun]

blueprint 😍

[serene forge]

oh hell nah brainstorm got shrunk

[visual turtle]

wait, you guys don't stick crap to the ceiling and see what works

[south badger]

huh

[visual turtle]

and make abhorrent joker combinations

[vocal sun]

yeah wait why is brainstorm small

[serene forge]

hrt made it lose height :(

[safe venture]

Balatroing

[south badger]

should i get dna for gold joker

[safe venture]

Brainprint is the best ship mankind ever concocted

[serene forge]

Discard until flush

[safe venture]

The evil and intimidating

[south badger]

thats what im doin rn

[wintry ice]

show deck

[south badger]

fym plant

[serene forge]

plant doesn't counter photochad

[serene forge]

also it's ante 7 i think they would know already if they got a The Plant

[south badger]

i forgor

[serene forge]

dawg wtf are you even gonna dna if you picked it up lol

[south badger]

my dna

[safe venture]

Them holographic aces 👀👀

Hm

[wintry ice]

nothing worth duplicating

[forest birch]

Perchance

[vale mesa]

ok but like
dna makes me happy

i like dna

it is good

[wintry ice]

it's good when you have something worth copying

[south badger]

true

[wintry ice]

in this case you kinda can't do anything with it

[honest dawn]

That was a great game, but I still haven't gotten the bean sticker!

I'm going crazy

[south badger]

i mean with optimal play i will get the last blind in 2 hands

[vale mesa]

plus you need dna if you plan on having children

[south badger]

i love beans

[south badger]

fr

[wintry ice]

dna is useless!!!

[south badger]

tell me, what are u made of

[honest dawn]

He's a good Joker, but because he's unusual and only lasts 5 rounds, his gold sticker is a nightmare.

[serene forge]

not in my case

[south badger]

no i mean i like eating beans

[wintry ice]

carbon, hydrogen, oxigen, etc

[south badger]

what

[honest dawn]

Look at this beginning haha

[honest dawn]

Ah

[south badger]

beans r tasty

[serene forge]

im trans and lesbian

[honest dawn]

The beans are delicious

And it's also easy to prepare

[vale mesa]

lemme rephrase that
you need DNA if you plan to exist

[south badger]

the question is: beans?

[serene forge]

beans are good

[south badger]

yea

[serene forge]

you are right

[wintry ice]

beans are good food if you pair it with proper grains instead of bread

[south badger]

alr that is the optimal play score

ima win if i get lucky enough with the discards

[atomic trout]

Easy victory 🤩

[vale mesa]

yknow sock is just a 2x

[south badger]

yea

and

[vale mesa]

ok

i mean replace it if you get something better

[south badger]

im cooked anyways

[valid ether]

[vocal sun]

does it happen to be the negative tags

if not thats my only guess

[south badger]

get in

[vocal sun]

dude i just took a spectral pack and have no clue what i took from it

how in the world

[hollow nymph]

Lmfao now I'm just extra dead. (Best hand e21)

[serene forge]

wat

[atomic trout]

The Needle was next.🤣

[south badger]

im talking to the elephant

[serene forge]

oh

[vocal sun]

how would i tell what i took from a spectral pack if im pretty sure everything is normal

i know my jokers, cards, and money is normal and hand size too

[south badger]

gng i forgor i can reroll bosses

[hollow nymph]

Me staring at the plant after it's killed me fore the 30th fucking time

[modern panther]

Chat... We might just make it...

[hollow nymph]

Chat, chat?

Chat

[modern panther]

I have a habit of saying "chat" from streaming

[south badger]

this is it

only 2k

[vocal sun]

tragic

[valid ether]

Black hole?

[south badger]

anyways what the best deck for a pair build

[honest dawn]

What a great game! haha

[vocal sun]

nope good idea tho ive only gotten it once

[modern panther]

No... I couldn't draw a jack...

[vocal sun]

i mean i couldve just skipped it but i dont think so

[valid ether]

Or maybe if all jokers have an edition u used hex

[modern panther]

I should've taken bloker...

[vocal sun]

no none have an edition

[valid ether]

And it didn't do anything

Well

Then I do not know

No seals?

[vocal sun]

nope

atp im pretty sure i js skipped it

oh come on i used the glass card once and it broke

on the other hand it was a 300k hand and its only ante 6

[south badger]

kinda peak run ngl

[vocal sun]

it was kinda iffy earlier but i got a scholar, fib, bus, duo, and trio so its some nice multi especially when i get 5 of a kind or something

[south badger]

ima go plasma chips only

[vocal sun]

tragic, didnt get enough aces but i also didnt add like any to my deck or remove anything else so probably my fault

not too mad tho

[south badger]

😭

i mean if u didnt add any aces im not too shocked ngl

[vocal sun]

pretty sure i only had 5 or 6 aces in my entire deck so idk why i expected to get it every blind

[tacit quail]

can i obelisk rn

[vocal sun]

i did one with death and then maybe that one spectral card that adds 2 enhanced ones, oh also i think the spectral pack that idk what i got from it added foil to an ace

[vocal sun]

yeah

[south badger]

i think yes

[tacit quail]

a4 sb

[vocal sun]

its at like 14 where you cant

[tacit quail]

hmm ok

[vocal sun]

can

not cant

[modern panther]

That's funny

[wintry ice]

if you have consistent chips yeah

[south badger]

that obelisk bouta be big if u play it good

[tacit quail]

yeh

im gonna play a buncha random shit and see what my scorings like

two pair and flush both good rn might throw 3oaks in there

[devout marlin]

Bro, I normally don't chat but this is the most insane thing that ever happened to me, I'm in Ante 3. Ante 1 Nat. Neg. Chad and Arcana Pack had Soul with Neg Perkeo, next shop has Nat Neg. Vagabond

[tacit quail]

time to planet

[modern panther]

Pray for me, chat

[south badger]

insane

[south badger]

oke

[tacit quail]

aight lets go we popping

[modern panther]

My god

[tacit quail]

I KNOW i can't sell everything and go double obby but what if i did

[south badger]

thats just the start, my friend

[south badger]

u wouldnt have any flat mult so yk

[tacit quail]

blue seal might be it but im gonna forever wonder if i could manage it with a good reroll for flat mult

[wintry ice]

you're reducing scoring by like what

5x?

[south badger]

i mean you could copy the seed and try the risky way

after

[tacit quail]

yeh

[unreal iron]

cloud 9 AND acrobat???

holy

literally just win now

[modern panther]

We can do this chat

[unreal iron]

"win"

[tacit quail]

Baiting me

[modern panther]

We just need constellation

[south badger]

i mean x27 is big

[unreal iron]

the only thing that could possibly fuck this up is vv, flint, possibly needle and eye

theres also like uhhh

[south badger]

the voices will never stop btw

[unreal iron]

dont know actually

[modern panther]

It's funny and slightly useful for mult

[south badger]

we shmowin gng

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[south badger]

the boss is btw

[crystal field]

the late christmas gift !

[serene forge]

you're fine

i think

[modern panther]

NO! I just used my stronk

[south badger]

ye

imagine sock

[modern panther]

Do I take an eternal cartomancer over face?

[wintry ice]

i'd take faceless

[modern panther]

Rebate is eternal, I don't need more purely econ jokers

[shell rock]

remove the face

[vocal sun]

i think the 7 times my lucky cards got scored they all hit something, and also it was a 400k hand so thats nice

[shell rock]

or don't buy anything here?

[modern panther]

So worth

[tacit quail]

gg +3 gold sticker, odd todd, seeing double, obelisk

[cyan sparrow]

they should make a MOVIE about Balatro

[south badger]

peak obelisk gaming

[cyan sparrow]

Balatro: The Movie

[vale wharf]

Wrong server

[true tartan]

is it ever worth it to save up for first ante voucher in gold stake run?

[west python]

GUYS I BEATED MY FIRST GOLD STAKE ON GOLD DESK

[vale wharf]

Yellow deck, and yippee!!!

[west python]

what desk I should play now? 🤔

[vocal sun]

[vale wharf]

Blue

[true tartan]

black deck lol

[south badger]

congrats🎉

[west python]

Mb I just excited a little bit

[vale wharf]

Why not two?

[vocal sun]

i cant play 2 at once

[vale wharf]

Of course haha, you can be

[tacit quail]

the obelisk so nice i have to do it twice

[west python]

I heard plasma desk is funny to play

[south badger]

do it

[west python]

Should I try it

?

[modern panther]

Mmm... maybe a problem...

[tacit quail]

aight pair spam time

[south badger]

what stake u got it at rn

[modern panther]

I can afford to skip to it...

[west python]

White, I was playing yellow desk till I beated it on gold stake

[south badger]

go chips only on white

i dont thind its viable later but very fun

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[south badger]

plasma peak

[tacit quail]

i plasma gold staked with chips only

fuck mult

[west python]

Why?

[tacit quail]

just grab EVERY chips and also find wee

[vocal sun]

fuck yeah first purp stake win

[south badger]

someone needs to do itand likepost it on yt

[serene forge]

its bad and inconsistent

[west python]

Ggs

[vocal sun]

went all in on lucky 8s on final hand and it worked

[sullen lintel]

holy rare skip tag

[west python]

Dam

[vocal sun]

god damn

[modern panther]

This is the most disgusting orbital tag I've ever seen

[west python]

Ppl fr using erosion? I find this joker useless

[south badger]

why do u have 2 pairs of pants

[south badger]

true

[sullen lintel]

i wanted 2 pairs of pants

[sullen lintel]

erosion goated

[south badger]

nah

[serene forge]

I love erosion. You guys are bad at this game.

[sullen lintel]

but I got a DNA so maybe not this run

[vocal sun]

heres my full thing, when i got rebate it was like ante 1 and i didnt realize it was eternal so i thought i was fucked but acrobat and poly lucky and poly reroll came in clutch

[sullen lintel]

but most of the time goated

[sullen lintel]

imagine opening a spectral and getting +20 mult and +20 dollars from an immolate

[serene forge]

good jokers don't become bad just because they're eternal

[modern panther]

How good am I on deck fixing?

[sullen lintel]

imagine getting +8 free mult every other shop from a hanged man

[serene forge]

if you see a shop 1 rebate you pick that up without even thinking

[west python]

True, but I lwk not into strat where you lose like 99% of your deck for like 100mult

[vocal sun]

i just dont use rebate, so idk how good it was

[serene forge]

i mean small decks are good, erosion's main weakness imo is that it's very bad with hologram

[tacit quail]

clutched up playin just pairs here

[sullen lintel]

contender for best econ joker in non fixed decks

[south badger]

true

[tacit quail]

sb ante 4 unsure

[sullen lintel]

without a doubt the best econ joker in fixed decks

[serene forge]

you win

[tacit quail]

The Wall says

[vocal sun]

dude i think against crimson heart it was for discarding 8s which is what my entire deck is about, bc i got a bunch of lucky 8s

[terse vale]

prolly just is the best

[west python]

I'm playing balatro on phone so I'll do a few runs with plasma desk and say my experience with this desk

Cya gng

[south badger]

plsma chips only done gng

[terse vale]

every other shop is very generous

[south badger]

i find one like ever 4 at least

[sullen lintel]

idk I get em pretty often

[south badger]

*over

[south badger]

depends on the run

[sullen lintel]

do I take here

[south badger]

this endless bouta be peak (ill die on ante 10)

[modern panther]

NOOO! IT'S TOO LATE!

[tacit quail]

[south badger]

top 10 saddest anime moments

[south badger]

[terse vale]

I don’t think so no

you only have 2 slots left to work with really

oops

[terse vale]

I was referring to this

[south badger]

i wouldnt buy anything

[modern panther]

Imagine being offered Photochad twice in a bus run

[south badger]

xd

average balatro expierence

btw i played abandonned deck today, had the run in the bag and then my cavendish fucking died and i lost

[modern panther]

It's not enough...

[modern panther]

Wait... you saw a Cavendish death?

[south badger]

yes, it was.... horryfying

[modern panther]

Holy shit

[wintry ice]

and you want to take a joker that primarily has the function of improving economy as an eternal?

[tacit quail]

[south badger]

geniuine tweakout material

[south badger]

[tacit quail]

[modern panther]

Does Obelisk scale if you have 2 most-played hands and you play one of them?

[south badger]

i think no

[terse vale]

no

it resets

[tacit quail]

holy shit im GLAD I LOOKED

[terse vale]

[slow epoch]

JIMBO IM SORRY

[hexed coral]

[slow epoch]

I picked him up shop 1 and never found something good enough to replace him

He carried me through the first few antes with the poly square, until I found the spare pants, but then I just… didn’t find any other good jokers other than duo

[vocal sun]

how int he world do i have $90
