[south badger]

goofy ahh gmaing

[vocal sun]

does rebate have an equal chance per which card to discard or is it based on what you have more of counts for more chance of it being picked

[tacit quail]

High risk play is to buy ankh and move on

2x poly on first joker

[south badger]

i sell juggler and pop the arcana first then see what i get

judgment 😄 oops all 6s 😡

[candid niche]

i finally unlocked merry andy :3

[vocal sun]

purp scales too fast to get any further, pretty sure the flash card was at like 150 or something and lucky was probably close to 10x, had 4 lucky 8s i got to every round bc i had enough hands and discards to, and that helped with acrobat, first purp stake win tho so thats nice, had chad for a while and replaced it with dusk to get more lucky procs, was gettign up to high thousands for multi

[vocal sun]

do it trust

[tacit quail]

ts sucks

it dont suck but like i dont like this play style

[maiden hedge]

Collecting negative jokers like infinity stones

[shell dagger]

negative parei came in clutch

[pale wolf]

i havent played balatro in days

time for a BLUE RUN

[slow epoch]

Oh thank god

[languid kite]

chat I beat the game

[tacit quail]

rip the streak 😭 :

[manic zealot]

it's cuz you got naneinf and then left the game and came back

[forest narwhal]

just opened this standard pack on an unseeded run

[tacit quail]

fire

[pale wolf]

meh

[forest narwhal]

should i be concerned

[vocal sun]

love getting blueprint first stake and then absolutely nothing good to synergize with it to get past ante 2

[languid kite]

Actually no
I got two Mr bones and a merry Andy
I played 2 hands (5 cards each) that didn’t clear the score, then I discarded my entire deck

[pale wolf]

i like it better when i have a free win

[languid kite]

that’s new.

so uh
is this the bone zone?

[safe venture]

Don't worry just keep discarding until flush

[south badger]

im back gng

and im out of juice

[pale wolf]

welp i took an eternal rental spaceman and he proceeded to not proc for 20 hands

good stuff

[south badger]

what happened in the past 20 mins

[hollow ferry]

imagine trusting thats disguised as a joker

[south badger]

true

[manic zealot]

ohh ok, for me it was because of naneinf I got the same error message

that's a wacky way to get that error

[tacit quail]

riff raff negative 😎

[hollow ferry]

0.003% chance to happen… (missing 20 times in a row)

[pale wolf]

im astounded too

[tacit quail]

riff raff foil

[pale wolf]

i think 1 proc early on wouldve saved the run

[south badger]

go buy a lottery ticket

[pale wolf]

but literally nothing

[pale wolf]

i have bad luck not good

[hollow ferry]

what hand were you playing? pairs?

[pale wolf]

ill get hit by a boat on my drive in

3oak, but with 2 hand size vouchers

basically pairs

[south badger]

bro built like a bowling pin

[tacit quail]

funny ah joker set

ill take 5 rounds of gift cart

[analog mulch]

If only this was multiplayer

[slow epoch]

erratic deck please give me 7 of clubs
i want that joker

alternatively, a bunch of diamonds

[rotund solstice]

hi all, im a relatively new player so just trying to see how I can optimize this run as much as possible. Ghost deck, red stake. Currently have 5 red seal gladd kings, and 2 red seal steel kings. What should I focus on copying? Do I look to start playing flush fives with my glass cards? Jokers I should look for (besides blueprint and brainstorm, I think mime would be good too?) sorry for so many questions im just new lol

[slow epoch]

unless you get mime i think glass is better

[serene forge]

was that a nat negative baron or did you ecto

[rotund solstice]

what does nat negative mean

[serene forge]

natural negative

[rotund solstice]

like it just showed up in the shop? if so then yes

I didnt ecto

[serene forge]

damn nice

[rotund solstice]

yea

pretty huge

[serene forge]

you should build towards baron and look for mime

make some red seal golds

[rotund solstice]

even with ancient, chad, and photo?

[serene forge]

all of those are bad with baron

with baron you want to play high card and keep your cards in hand

[rotund solstice]

ah I understand

theres no alternative where I would play flush fives?

with glass cards

[willow holly]

the game could use auxiliary gamemodes.

im sorry

[serene forge]

well idol is a no go here because the deck isn't fixed

and flush fives are very hard to play with ancient

[rotund solstice]

I passed up an idol earlier, it was way too early (like ante 2 lol)

ive been trying to deck fix but I have very little ways to get tarots

[serene forge]

so baron would be the best thing to build towards especially since it's negative

you do need some high card levels though

[rotund solstice]

yea idk why ive been leveling flush that was dumb

i dont have telescope which sucks

and I also have no blue seals

[rotund solstice]

that would be smart now that you mention it lol

[willow holly]

i cant hold back the opinion anymore.
there needs to be more ways to enjoy the current system. like a boss rush system or something.

imagine the ability to go in with a premade build of only cards you've unlocked already in some type of boss rush or secondary gamemode and give more reason for the player to want to play different playstyles, builds etc that people fall into sticking to making the game stale for themselves

a tertiary mode or abilities in the mode unlocked throughout or by reaching certain feats in the game.

something to exercise the game mechanics in new ways that isnt just adding new cards, jokers etc.

[rotund solstice]

@serene forge what do I sell for blueprint I just pulled it

yorick? even at 11x lol

[tawny crag]

dna

[serene forge]

everything except baron and dna is pretty equally useless

id sell photo and chad and pick up the egg too probably

[rotund solstice]

it feels hard to commit to high card off the bat cause its level 1 which is so bad

but I probably just should

[serene forge]

ah right

i forgot about that part

[rotund solstice]

yea

thats why I wanted to sell yorick or ancient

for now

[serene forge]

yeah selling those might be wiser actually

[rotund solstice]

this is a big learning moment for me lol

[rotund solstice]

why egg? temperance value?

[serene forge]

yea

the logic is that you don't need that much scoring

[rotund solstice]

so ill probably sell yorick and ancient then

though selling yorick is a bit scary cause I think thats whats keeping me alive rn

[serene forge]

so you use the other jokers for some type of value generation

[rotund solstice]

im not scoring that high

[serene forge]

yeah maybe pass on the egg to be safe

[rotund solstice]

if I had at least a few levels on high card it would make sense

[hard mantle]

hello char

[grave aurora]

There are 2 joker slots left, so which 2 cards should I add, guys?

[hard mantle]

first hand of the run, a royal flush

[grave aurora]

nice

[grave aurora]

help me

[wanton breach]

Can't find mime, but is this good?

[manic zealot]

Squidward

[desert quiver]

Something that gives good mult…

[dreamy girder]

May not be optimal, but it did it's job

[desert quiver]

Especially if +mult and xmult

[dreamy girder]

Oh, just realized you can't even see it

[forest birch]

Chat what do I copy

[wanton breach]

I see the square jomler

[dreamy girder]

Just replaced mime with dna before this ante

[dreamy girder]

Chad

[wanton breach]

Oh its photon

[marsh needle]

First hand

[surreal pier]

Imagine if there was a deck that allowed you to play 6 cards per hand

[dreamy girder]

Cryptid:

[surreal pier]

Cryptid would likely go funky lol
Imagine the funky hands like three pair, six of a kind, flush six, overflow (Full house upgrade, like 2 three of a kind's), overflush, etc

[dreamy girder]

Hand that is just your entire fucking deck

(Yes that is a hand added by cryptid)

[hard mantle]

this isn't even a spade build. we just keep getting worlds

[dreamy girder]

ZA WARLUUDO

[hard mantle]

TOKI YO TOMARE

[surreal pier]

I'm confused, cryptid allows more than 5 cards per hand played?

[fast jewel]

I'm just starting to get to late-ish game semi-consisently. What should I drop for idol?

I'm guessing chad so I can still get 2/2 bloodstone retriggers?

[wintry ice]

i'd remove the lower first

so don't take it yet imo

[hard mantle]

dammit, that runs over </3

couldnt get the card we needed and it led us to being sloppy

i hate this joker so fucking much

[fast jewel]

don't take idol yet? Seems like I can hang that last two with a few rerolls, but I must be missing something obv

[gloomy swallow]

One more gold staked! (Superposition)

[vocal rose]

I’d take it

[spice glen]

uh oh

[vocal rose]

that’s a crazy chance to not hit the idol

[fast jewel]

Thanks @vocal rose - Appreciate it. I agree. Drop chad or oops for it? I think chad is the right choice, but I'm not positive.

[vocal rose]

i’d drop chad

[fast jewel]

tyvm

[vocal rose]

however you don’t need glass right now

so don’t play those

just make a bunch of magic cards

[fast jewel]

yeah, I was building glass before idol showed up

I'm new to this higher score stuff

[spice glen]

fuck this game

[fast jewel]

OMG lolol. Now what... this is stressful.

I'm guessing drop oops and bloodstone, pray it copies brainstorm

[hard mantle]

the literal first joker i pulled

[fast jewel]

Huzzah!

[hard mantle]

alright no yeah we're not doing this lol

im clearly not actually in the headspace to be playing balatro

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[hard mantle]

bloobstone

[fast jewel]

agreed. takes two slots to be effective. I'm ditching it and praying for a blueprint.

[tawny crag]

bloodstone

[fast jewel]

damn, look at those copies

ditching bloobstone was the right choice

[jade arch]

Is this a good joker combination?

[candid niche]

i need to work on unlocking Golden Ticket

surely this will not be punished

[solemn tide]

This will end well

[candid niche]

we scraped by ante 1

well, i guess 2 jugglers is cool

[dry sail]

What are y'all doing?
Black deck gold stake, so I think I'm going red card

[candid niche]

shenanigans

JUST WHAT I NEEDED!

[heady narwhal]

100% redcard here i think

[hard mantle]

who pinged us?

[jade arch]

Gonna go get 4 gold stickers babyyyyyy

[candid niche]

yay! i got golden ticket

now i have everything unlocked

[jade arch]

Wait fuck!

[candid niche]

do not the

[jade arch]

Splash already has a gold sticker!

Okay, I got 140 gold stickers

[candid niche]

do we win this do you think

we don't

i lost

[stark karma]

You could have gone past ante 39 with that bones

[candid niche]

i happen to suffer from chronic Skillissueitus, so i wouldnt be able to utilize it to its fullest

[stark karma]

White stake red deck 🥀

[acoustic kettle]

Can you use double bones bug to gold sticker stuff

[shell dagger]

propa big obelisk

[candid niche]

hmm free money, or gambling?

money

[fast jewel]

Is there a world where picking up baron makes sense here, without a high card pivot? Not sure if adding steel to my deck would make a tangible difference. Sorry for the spam.. this is the best I've done in this game so far and want to make good choices, heh.

[vocal rose]

I mean it would make sense over troubador

[fast jewel]

yeah I was going to drop that, just had it in the roster before baron showed up

[vocal rose]

but an econ card would be way better

[fast jewel]

ahhhh

[vocal rose]

like rebate or retrigger spamming with oops

[acoustic kettle]

Well you can pick it up for now

[vocal rose]

your money is very low and you need an extra copy joker for more scoring

[fast jewel]

got it, appreciate the input guys. I'm at a point where I don't have the skill to min/max, just proud of getting here to begin with lol

[hard mantle]

hey, you've done way better than i have

think my record is like ante 12?

[candid niche]

should I hex someone, or go blue seal

[fast jewel]

I'd blue seal

[candid niche]

or i could hex the wee and be funny...

[fast jewel]

idk if it's proper, but I only hex when I have just one joker, usually an econ joker that I think I'll keep around a while

[candid niche]

i'm hexing wee

[fast jewel]

yolo

[candid niche]

lucky card hits carried me

[abstract leaf]

Does seltzer work on cards in hand like steel?

[candid niche]

no

it retriggers all played cards

[manic owl]

If the baron was nat-negative sure, but even with troubador id pass on it

and since u have no mime

ik ur post was a while ago

[fast jewel]

thx... yeah I played 1 round with it (dropped troub to pick it up), and it made no difference with such small hand size and no steel

[manic owl]

its just an additional 1.5^(3*2)

xmult

[fast jewel]

aye

[manic owl]

So 1.5^6 so around 6x mult

[fast jewel]

Here's where I'm at now, time is officially running out!

econ was my biggest mistake

[manic owl]

Get rid of seltzer if u find a Showman

And pray to god you get another bluepie

[fast jewel]

1000% - I was thinking the same! I'm surprised I had the right idea tbh

[manic owl]

gtg tho

Cya

[fast jewel]

tyvm

[manic owl]

But enjoy the rest of your run and hope you dont get planted.

(unless u rolled past it)

[fast jewel]

I didn't get a single boss reroll until this ante, so there's that

haven't played glass yet, I'm so stoked on this

[manic owl]

Also id make sure ur jokers are in the right spot, in the img it does look like so (4*5)

[unreal vine]

Sad

Can't anhk

[fast jewel]

I've been trying to play around with that, but can't seem to find the right order. The current order gets me e31

[wary flicker]

ankh

[signal frigate]

Close to what my highscore was actually

[wary flicker]

do it

[unreal vine]

No bro

[manic owl]

Sell and pray to a good joker

[unreal vine]

I die

[manic owl]

Sell the non-eternals

[unreal vine]

Yeah bro I know but this spectral is from an skip

[signal frigate]

If you have all Handsize vouchers, you can get another 2 copies of bluestorm

[manic owl]

thats what you shouldve

[manic owl]

oh

[manic owl]

Bluestorm???

[unreal vine]

That's the point 😅

[signal frigate]

Blueprint/Brainstorm

[manic owl]

i thought it was their child

[wary flicker]

I won a run today

so updated

[manic owl]

But now thats canon

[wary flicker]

still very far

[signal frigate]

It's more like a fusion

[manic owl]

BlueStorm Is the child

Brainprint

is their other child

[thorny axle]

ridelodia

ride the bus + parelodia

[unreal vine]

PrintStorm

[manic owl]

GREATEST COMBO EVER

[signal frigate]

I got as far as ante 24 but I could've gone farther if I didn't get bored lmfao

[manic owl]

RIDE BUS AND PAREDOLIA

[signal frigate]

Anti combo

[manic owl]

x1.5 Stupidity

[wary flicker]

real

[manic owl]

you shouldve gone until you couldnt

[wary flicker]

I dont go into endless that much recently

[manic owl]

Ante 39 is real

[signal frigate]

X2 because it's Idol

[unreal vine]

The solo is a great joker, thanks John Balalo

[thorny axle]

delayed graification x mystic summit

[manic owl]

oh

Also btw: I had an e20 run with trib

[thorny axle]

delayed summit

[manic owl]

..I got planted

[signal frigate]

Well I probably could've gone to ante 27

[manic owl]

I had an e20 with Idol.

...Got planted again

[unreal vine]

Sneaky the plant in the pocket

[full glade]

What do we think guys

[manic owl]

Bad

[thorny axle]

2.6 the hook cycle

[manic owl]

You need blueprint

[wary flicker]

I cant pose gifs?

sad

[unreal vine]

XD

[signal frigate]

With glass cards, I got E50

[thorny axle]

deadass i was watching this without sound and my brain added the sound back in 😭

im fucking cooked

[manic owl]

music u mean?

[signal frigate]

If it was plasma, Def would've gotten ante 27

[thorny axle]

Balatrotted

[fast jewel]

haven't started with glass yet, but is there a better order than what I'm using?

[candid niche]

this shouldnt have won

[manic owl]

I can think of any song that i know on the spot and it plays in my head and i can fully hear it

[candid niche]

640 wee

[unreal vine]

All correct I think

[thorny axle]

no

[signal frigate]

You're gonna die to Idol

[manic owl]

Blueprint on Idol

[fast jewel]

bp on idol ahhh

[signal frigate]

It's red stake.

[manic owl]

Its 3*5 triggers

[fast jewel]

was trying to balance mult with retriggers

[manic owl]

Compared to 4*4 triggers, blueprint is better on idol

Until Seltzer runs out

[full glade]

Ye the run was this morning but idol was the only way to progress

[candid niche]

well yeah but i'm bad

[thorny axle]

damn

[manic owl]

Blueprint on Idol

[signal frigate]

You're fine, you equalized your scoring and retriggers

[thorny axle]

fuck red stake i guess

[manic owl]

no he didnt. His scoring is 3*5 when if blueprint was on idol itd be 4x4

[signal frigate]

If you had a red seal, you can consider that more

[fast jewel]

yeah I'm all red seal

[signal frigate]

Then it's fine

[manic owl]

You have to balance your triggers (With plasma ofc.)

[pale wolf]

dingoose

[strange panther]

here we go again

[signal frigate]

Yo

Oh yeah, I forgot I was originally doing a Bloodstone run

That turned into idol

[thorny axle]

deadass shoot the moon might be stronger than baron

[signal frigate]

Because it is

[manic owl]

Assuming you have steel red-seal, Blueprint needs to be on baron for max effect. (5*5 rn ur at 6x4)

[signal frigate]

It provides early strength and can get stronger later on thanks to Steels and Mime

[strange panther]

all gold rn, just farming money

ik

[manic owl]

oh

ok then its fine

[thorny axle]

i know people are gonna say this is bait but for 99% of the game +13 mult > 1.5x mult since it only takes place after the scoring phase

[signal frigate]

You want an ungodly amount of money for a run like that

[manic owl]

BUT STILL HAVE BLUEPRINT ON BARON UNTIL END OF ROUND

[thorny axle]

comically small deck

[fast jewel]

BP on idol did actually improve score to E32

[manic owl]

AFTER YOU PLAY UR HAND PUT BLUEPRINT ON MIME THEN U CAN!!!!!!! AAAAAAA THE PAIN OF IMPERFECTION!!!!

[strange panther]

no point until i actually need the score, im watching stuff on my 2nd monitor this is more important xd

[manic owl]

dies of poker chips

[signal frigate]

It's still worth cuz if you have alot of steels, most of that is gonna get 1.5x boosted

[manic owl]

Idk whats more satisfying the flames going nuts or the xmult noise

[strange panther]

$37 temperance without any gift card or egg is juicy

[signal frigate]

Winning a Gold Stake run.

[manic owl]

specifically where it plays over and over

IE: Baron or Idol

[strange panther]

also this is before i have either of the hand size vouchers

[signal frigate]

With the jankiest build you made

I was so glad Stuntman appeared cuz I was severely lacking in chips

And also, Anaglyph giving me all the double tags to uber boost red card

[safe flower]

Flowerpot sniped to gold

I'd like to thank mr spaceman for his service

[thorny axle]

w spaceman

[nova elk]

fr its impossible to win a deck

[dreamy girder]

Yes, the mod

[nova elk]

doesnt modes just makes the game easier?

[signal frigate]

You can also just play the entire fucking Deck

[visual arch]

guys what else do i need to do to get naneinf. seems like i have the setup?

[nova junco]

Get like

4 more blueprints and a way to avoid the plant

[signal frigate]

And no this isn't a joke, that's a thing you can do and the hand is just called "THE WHOLE GODDAMN DECK"

[visual arch]

i already faced the plant and have reroll voucher

[signal frigate]

You're gonna need more copies of blueprint and brainstorm

[thorny axle]

the nefarious None

[signal frigate]

You need at least 4

[nova junco]

I love how Talisman just lets you play

No hand at all

[signal frigate]

You'd probably disagree but drawing the entire fucking Deck is funnier

[nova junco]

The Entire Fucking Deck™ Is peak balatro comedy

[nova elk]

any recommended mods?

[vocal rose]

you don’t have the setup

also show more context

[thorny axle]

qol or content?

[nova elk]

what qol is

[thorny axle]

quality of life

[visual arch]

just grinding for showman/invisible at the moment, and i'm going to start building telescope even though i don't have it yet

[ancient gyro]

not enough inf-

oh

[vocal rose]

oh you aren’t naneinfing

[nova elk]

so quality

[vocal rose]

like

not even close

[visual arch]

Ya, but I'm saying I have the foundation

[vocal rose]

no you don’t

[ancient gyro]

yeah this isn't happening

[vocal rose]

this is why context matters

[tawny crag]

what happen if u sell a negative invis joker, do u get 6/5 jokers?

[visual arch]

just rolled into DNA but I think it's too early

[ancient gyro]

it only takes one picture

[thorny axle]

Yes.

[vocal rose]

yes

[austere rain]

Yo guys rate the build

[thorny axle]

• egg

[austere rain]

Eternal jimbo goes crazy

[vocal rose]

you have ALOT to go

like ALOT more work to go

for naneinf

especially revealing that it’s yellow deck 😭

[visual arch]

no room for showman, rip

[austere rain]

Especially on non plasma

[tawny crag]

unfurtunaly had to sell my big ass cat

[austere rain]

Yeah

[ancient gyro]

its far too late for perkatory

[visual arch]

oh well.

[thorny axle]

as someone who has won one (1) gold stake run

purple stake is the hardest stake

[ancient gyro]

personally one might say gold

[thorny axle]

no as in

[tawny crag]

i fell white stake being harder bc i am dumb playing it

[thorny axle]

biggest jump from previous stake to that stake

[fast jewel]

it's not amazing by pro standards, but I just finished the run and wanted to thank you guys for helping me with late game decisions. Best I've ever done by a mile.

[thorny axle]

im pretty sure it took longer for me to beat purple stake than orange + gold

[tawny crag]

so its blue stake

[thorny axle]

blue stake is tough but its not as hard as purple

[nova elk]

the best hand amount, how people gets to this scores its crazy how bad i am

[tawny crag]

show the build man

[thorny axle]

like blue stake seperates the easy stakes and the Big Boy Stakes

[fast jewel]

I'm dumb and exited, mb

it was exactly like the last screenshot, seltzer ran out, and I was waiting to ecto and roll for showman or something. Just too late and I was too poor.

[unreal vine]

Idk bro

Probably

[tawny crag]

how can i make it better ( rather than glasses

[unreal vine]

As a person with 25% of the jokers with gold stake sticker and maybe 4-5 wins in gold stake, I think that maybe orange is a bit more difficult

[thorny axle]

more mult

[tawny crag]

explain

[unreal vine]

Maybe sock

[tawny crag]

i have it

[unreal vine]

Oh sorry I don't saw it

Mb

[unreal vine]

Popcorn carry

[tawny crag]

yeah

[unreal vine]

With 19 cards deck idk if you can really improve that run

[tawny crag]

got 1e39 without glasses

[unreal vine]

It's just very very good

[unreal vine]

Crazy

[tawny crag]

random seed btw

[unreal vine]

Wow

Nah idk find eris

A lot more eris

[nova elk]

should I rearrange it somehow? ante 6/8 round 7

[unreal vine]

Scale a bit more base mult from begin

[unreal vine]

Deck?

[terse vale]

put Xmult at the right

[terse vale]

it only matters for popcorn though

[unreal vine]

And buy smth for chips maybe

[unreal vine]

What deck are u playing btw?

[nova elk]

blue

i think im gonna lose the run

[unreal vine]

👍

[wintry ice]

yeah this is

rough

[nova elk]

blue is harder

[unreal vine]

How many xmult in throwback?

[safe flower]

Huh. Ok

[ancient gyro]

a6r7 should be a indicator

[safe flower]

Was not expecting to get past 11

[stable condor]

close one

[nova elk]

doesnt matter, last hand

[unreal vine]

Nah ur cooked, but put throwback in right

[nova elk]

put what

[wintry ice]

throwback

[unreal vine]

HOW

[wintry ice]

putting it to the right of popcorn is slightly more optimal

[unreal vine]

Yep

[wintry ice]

baseball, 4 uncommons, const and blackboard

and oops, man for levels

[nova elk]

that tells me nothing

[wintry ice]

what

[unreal vine]

Put the party guy at the right

BRO

[wintry ice]

do you have balatro in a different language

[nova elk]

im in a new run so doesnt matter anymore

[unreal vine]

Party guy in top right, a bit better

[nova elk]

and im new to the game

[unreal vine]

+_+

[unreal vine]

Ah got it

Blue deck is the goat of all decks

[wintry ice]

the lack of chips was bleak anyways

[unreal vine]

Not too broken, not too bad

[unreal vine]

True

[wintry ice]

it's a contender for best deck

due to it's consistency

[unreal vine]

It's just alright, and don't depend on what you get into the runs

[wintry ice]

no it's definitely up there

+1 hand boosts pairs a ton

and 90% of high stakes runs converge to that

[tawny crag]

supernova goes crazy

[naive heath]

plasma is the best deck

[unreal vine]

Yeah, but, I mean, if you compare it to other decks, is good too xD

Nah is just very good

[unreal vine]

No

[naive heath]

why

[forest birch]

My money don't jiggle jiggle

[unreal vine]

Difficult early

[tawny crag]

a single glass did not make it

[unreal vine]

Ggs

[pale wolf]

blue deck is the most consistent deck for gold stake ante 8

[unreal vine]

Is the only deck I have in gold stake xD

Purple on red

And in the rest just white or red, maybe green

[unreal vine]

I think zodiac is very fun to play btw

[wintry ice]

the scoring requirements of high stakes make it weird to play at best

[wintry ice]

also it has literally the opposite problem

[slow epoch]

I would love a hack here

[wintry ice]

it's one of the few decks that are worse late

[slow epoch]

also the one time strengthening my aces into 2s is useful

[unreal vine]

Why?

[wintry ice]

the balancing mechanic combined with 2x scoring requirements

[ancient gyro]

2.4m vv, bosses are directly harder from 2x scoring requirements, higher static chip scoring sources are more limited

[unreal vine]

Yo fcking walking Balatro encyclopedia lol

But I think my small brain understand

[tranquil steppe]

And weeeeeeeeeeeee

[zinc cloud]

Do I sell a mime for showman or just keep hoping blueprint eventually shows up?

Idk whether to burn through money or save

[spare badge]

any tips to beat a run

i cant seem to beat my first one

[tranquil steppe]

Umm who is raichu getting sucked up by

[tawny crag]

watch docs videos

[zinc cloud]

I’ll tell you for help with naninf on the above 👀

[slow epoch]

It was fun while it lasted
A hack somewhere could’ve taken it a good bit further

[zinc cloud]

Cramorant a hungry boy

[tranquil steppe]

lol I was confused because I don’t see showman.

[zinc cloud]

Ah I passed it a few times just not sure if I made the right call or not

[wintry ice]

i mean you need extra copies of either anyways

[safe flower]

I was a little sneaky

I had polychrome red seal glass

[viral ledge]

how do yall pronounce chicot

[low sorrel]

I have a question

[viral ledge]

i pronounce it “shee-kou”

[acoustic kettle]

Chico

[low sorrel]

I dont know why but I read it as 'chicaro'

[candid niche]

(shee-KOH)

[zinc cloud]

Run update, how do I try and naninf this 😭

Reroll infinitely looking for DNA or try to get to serpent without it?

[naive heath]

shik ot

[candid niche]

why arent you copying baron? that's killing your score

[zinc cloud]

Just farming gold so may aswell copy mime

[candid niche]

...dont you want to naneinf though

[zinc cloud]

Yeah but I have to do that after ante 24 no?

[candid niche]

who said that

[zinc cloud]

Why copy baron before I can get close to attempting it if copying mine is enough to clear the round?

Wait im misunderstanding you my b

I do copy baron then swap Mime for gold

Just got insanely lucky with a natural dna hoping I can do something good here

[tawny crag]

dna just overrated

[zinc cloud]

Well Ive never done above e85 before and Google said it was good to get naninf so I just assumed 😭

[narrow igloo]

its only good with some fore of copying

imo

[slow epoch]

Specifically it’s good because you get more red steel kings

[viral ledge]

should i do it for the funny

[slow epoch]

Duh

Obviously

[distant vault]

Hello

[lunar zealot]

do you have a sticker

[distant vault]

How do I beat white stake

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 5 :p

[serene forge]

balatrodle in 3

[last geyser]

Hi can someone help me

[slow epoch]

Jimbo I think it’s time for you to get a sticker

On the one hand, I want to win this run
On the other, I want sticker on jimbo

[wind bolt]

Showman and he exes

[prime gate]

He finally showed up

[slow epoch]

so glad jimbo showed up

you should take him you have the slot

[south badger]

yo gng

[wind bolt]

Can I get ecto please?

[south badger]

i just finished this peak run

[wind bolt]

Gg

[south badger]

might even be my pb idk

[molten thicket]

this display is breaking my eyes

[south badger]

GET OUT

[ripe gull]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[smoky merlin]

its mine all mine

[south badger]

bro gettin slimed out

[ripe gull]

thanks vonne

[smoky merlin]

i live to serve

[south badger]

anyways

[slow epoch]

what even happened

[south badger]

rate dis run

[south badger]

sum scam ad got sent

[molten thicket]

instantly nuked

[south badger]

straaight up eviscerated

[slow epoch]

0/10, you have 5 jokers, didn't unlock invisible joker smh my head

[molten thicket]

deadass thought "did bro ecto on the credit card" until i saw the deck 😔 💔

[south badger]

i had invis on this run and it gave me the 4oak joker

jack of all jacks

[idle haven]

I think the hardest part of a bloodstone run is finding bloodstone

[dawn imp]

is it worth to get a second ecto if its -2 hand size?

[slow epoch]

no

especially not on baron mime

[dawn imp]

also when should i switch to steel kings, ante 16?

[south badger]

maybe the bloodstone was the friends we made along the way

[dawn imp]

ok thanks

[slow epoch]

also, just so you know, it is an additional -2 hand size, for a total of -3

[idle haven]

Exactly

Fucking stupid

[dawn imp]

i understand, thank you

[idle haven]

10 antes not a single bloodstone

[south badger]

xd

at least u held up for some time

[idle haven]

27 shops with 82 rerolls and NO BLOODSTONE

[south badger]

even without the bloodstone

[idle haven]

Not to count all the buffoon packs

[south badger]

heh

[idle haven]

Yeah constellation carried me

[south badger]

another common constellation w

[idle haven]

Hologram better smh my head

[hard mantle]

need a new pfp but i dont wanna draw one blehhhhh

i dont even know what joker id make into it

[south badger]

i never said hologram worse

[idle haven]

Hologram

[dawn imp]

does anyone know this

[south badger]

my first ever win was with hologram

[molten thicket]

it depends on a lot

just switch when you feel like the score req is catching up too fast

[lilac meteor]

"I'm you, but better." Ahh

[south badger]

'im you but slightly more gay'

[lilac meteor]

just a bit

[molten thicket]

also switch if you have a free joker slot and you see a rebate

[south badger]

also btw i love seein those late game runs when i get burned by even hearing 'ante 12'

[lilac meteor]

Do I switch baron for mime for more money

I have a habit of selling it

[woven spire]

we chipsmaxxing chat

[lilac meteor]

of using all my moolah

[south badger]

chips on plasma go brrrrr

[woven spire]

true

[molten thicket]

honestly if the new update doesnt have some neuron-activating "ding! ding! ding!" type gameplay then i aint playing it

[woven spire]

just got the second hiker and brainstorm

[woven spire]

u only get ding ding ding if u play right

[heavy totem]

Any fun things I can do with this?

[molten thicket]

yeah thats why i only play plasma white

[woven spire]

playing the game good= Dopamine

[south badger]

if there wasnt the ding in the first place balatro would be much less popular

[molten thicket]

you can go 6/5 joker slots

[molten thicket]

so true

i love balatro brainrot

[south badger]

you can press the button

[molten thicket]

turn off your brain for a while and embrace the dopamine flood

[potent tree]

free temperance value honestly

[south badger]

how many hrs btw

[woven spire]

oh my

[potent tree]

that's like 6 bucks right there

[molten thicket]

like 165

[south badger]

huh

[potent tree]

w hiker run

[south badger]

182

[woven spire]

thx

[heavy totem]

That's gonna help my naneinf run a lot

[south badger]

tf is ur deck

[molten thicket]

btw if you get 6/5 joker slots you can't take negatives

[south badger]

makes sense ngl

[woven spire]

highest one is 160 chips

just chipsmaxxinf

[south badger]

tf

[molten thicket]

and if you get an ecto it just makes you have 6/6 slots

[south badger]

i mean 160 is much but not on a milion much

[woven spire]

i took an early DNA so i have a bunch of 130+ chips

[south badger]

ah

bonus them all and foil

[molten thicket]

we hiking with this one

[woven spire]

one hand.

[woven spire]

hiking to the high scores trust

[south badger]

who needs mult when we can have naneinf chips

[molten thicket]

also question: should there be xchips

[woven spire]

a judgement just gave me that

[south badger]

no

[woven spire]

we chipsmaxxing fr now

[primal stirrup]

Who even needs mult

[molten thicket]

oops! all chips

[slow epoch]

dear lord

[woven spire]

lmao

[woven spire]

fr

[south badger]

its the same as xmult, would only have a diffrence in plasma

[slow epoch]

my last 2 plasma runs I had 2 wee jokers and three runners respectively (invis and brainstorm)

i won obvs

[molten thicket]

i think the biggest difference is gonna be how easy it is to get big +chips

[woven spire]

localthunk said that wouldnt make sense and wont even think of adding it

[slow epoch]

mult is xchips

[south badger]

thats the thing

[primal stirrup]

Imagine losing a run like that

I’d get violent

[woven spire]

monee or stuntman cuz its funny

[molten thicket]

true..

[slow epoch]

xchips being seperate from mult really only matters for plasma

[south badger]

xchips would only have a diffrence in plasma so xchips wouldnt make sense

[molten thicket]

you go all chips you stick to all chips

[south badger]

stuntin off the mountian we hiked

[molten thicket]

such bars

[woven spire]

this just made me cry

[last geyser]

Hi

Someone help plsss

[primal stirrup]

This MIGHT be MF DOOM

[woven spire]

fr now

[lilac meteor]

do i take the invis

[woven spire]

sure

[molten thicket]

the illest villain himself?

[woven spire]

i would

[last geyser]

I’m going for a high score run, what should I drop for blueprint or should I not take it ?

[primal stirrup]

I probably would, I mean that’s the reason you have the showman right?

[south badger]

wanted to add the sockin part but i dont want to get slimedby mods

[molten thicket]

drop the business card

[lilac meteor]

alrighty

[woven spire]

business fs

[last geyser]

Okk thanks guys

[lilac meteor]

Always take blueprint/bs, i suppose you csn drop business if you want scoring

[last geyser]

But

[primal stirrup]

Bro gets it

[lilac meteor]

drop oops if you gamble

[woven spire]

[molten thicket]

[primal stirrup]

He died on my gfs birthday, actually so rough

[last geyser]

I need deck fixing for swap to idol

[left pelican]

[woven spire]

ALWAYS take oops

[lilac meteor]

IF you gamble

[last geyser]

AHHHH

[molten thicket]

jeez

thats so sad to hear

[woven spire]

IF you want to suffer

[lilac meteor]

exaxtly

[last geyser]

DO I TAKE YHE GAMBLE AND DROP OOPS OR DO I TAKE THE SAFE OPTION OF BUSINESS

[vocal sun]

[woven spire]

drop bussines gng

[molten thicket]

drop the business please 😭

[last geyser]

Okk

[south badger]

isnt there an achievment for that

[primal stirrup]

When it comes to Balatro, it’s not an if it’s a when

[woven spire]

he does fs

[vocal sun]

its 2 and i already have it

[lilac meteor]

but just land the 1 in 32768 chance of getting it all proccing

[south badger]

sad

[vocal sun]

ikr

[lilac meteor]

every time

[woven spire]

so i think ima just hold r

[woven spire]

rough gem appeared again im taking it

[molten thicket]

[primal stirrup]

Chat black deck gold stake is easily taking the longest out of any deck so far

Evil ass deck

[south badger]

yall talmin bout gamblin but today my cavendish killed my run i had in the bag by exploding

[molten thicket]

do not walk outside during a thunderstorm with those odds

[primal stirrup]

Fr man, at least he had a wide discography though, so I’d like to imagine he passed feeling pretty accomplished

[south badger]

it was ante 7

i was shmovin

[vocal sun]

ong how do you even get unlucky enough for cavendish to die

how many ladders did you walk under

[woven spire]

we are CHIPING IT

[south badger]

and he just fucking exploded

[molten thicket]

bro was farming bad luck on god 😔

[primal stirrup]

How many sins did you have to commit for this to happen

[south badger]

Pretty sure I’ve gotten a chicot from my last like 5 souls

[lilac meteor]

for safety, oops. If you wanna proc lucky cards then bloodstone

[lilac meteor]

This is up to ya

[south badger]

iits the chickot plauge

[last geyser]

But if it doesn’t hit then my run is over

[lilac meteor]

exactly

[hard mantle]

chat i need advice: do i take even steven or do i just open a buffoon pack

(first joker)

[vocal sun]

buffon trust

[lilac meteor]

IF you want safety, then go for oops

[last geyser]

Ok

[molten thicket]

[last geyser]

Wait

[hard mantle]

thanks

[lilac meteor]

just sell oops ngl

[molten thicket]

god damn my typing is so shit

[last geyser]

What about this ?

[south badger]

unless a peak joker yk

[hard mantle]

yeah sure ill do a straight build

[lilac meteor]

I dont think so

[molten thicket]

probably not

[last geyser]

Ok thanks

[lilac meteor]

How much money do you have rn

Mr mueid

[lilac meteor]

also wth is that blueprint brainstorm placement 😭

[south badger]

yk you can always hold r

[vocal sun]

yeah wtf is going on there mueid

[hard mantle]

far from the worst build ive ever dealt with

[hard mantle]

straights are cool

and im only going for ante 8

[lilac meteor]

His brainstorm is copying the blueprint 😭

[last geyser]

YEAH LOOL I realised from seeing the picture 🤣
Also do I take ?

[surreal spruce]

Invis does nothing for you

Useless joker here

[lilac meteor]

Can you survive?

[south badger]

i very much DISLIKE straight builds bcus i need to count

[last geyser]

Yes

[molten thicket]

with 5 hands i think you do

[lilac meteor]

take it after bigblind

in my opinion

[molten thicket]

need more time to find that ecto

[lilac meteor]

also why are you hogging all the invis jokers bro give me some wth

[last geyser]

Wait

[woven spire]

wish me luck chat

[last geyser]

One thing

[woven spire]

imma need it

[lilac meteor]

the funnest deck to gold on

[surreal spruce]

Easy deck it’s light work for you

[south badger]

go chips

[lilac meteor]

ill hold your hand the entire way

[last geyser]

I have 9 non kings left do I take it for bloodstone !?

[south badger]

or obelisk

[woven spire]

fr? f yeah

[surreal spruce]

Yes

[molten thicket]

ooh yeah actuqlly

[lilac meteor]

is your idol hitting

[surreal spruce]

If your idol doesn’t hit you die

[lilac meteor]

king of hearts

[surreal spruce]

Flat out

[woven spire]

thx, but just orange stake was a nightmare

[lilac meteor]

yes

[last geyser]

Yeah but if it doesn’t hit I’m screwed 😭

[surreal spruce]

Rentals aren’t that bad dw

[lilac meteor]

I mean

With 319 dollars

First you open that arcana pack

[surreal spruce]

Look for hung men

[lilac meteor]

does it have any deck fixing

[surreal spruce]

And death

And fools

[molten thicket]

i think if you have un-oops bloodstone then youre basically cooked either way

[lilac meteor]

death, hang men, and tower should work

[hard mantle]

level five straight on ante 3, not bad

[molten thicket]

if idol doesnt hit you basically die

[lilac meteor]

Bro actually went for the straight build 😭

[south badger]

ts might be peak run ngl

[lilac meteor]

props to you

[surreal spruce]

Straights aren’t bad just usually require too much deck fixing to make worth it

But still one of the better hand types

[south badger]

true

[lilac meteor]

watch him come back and say
"Do i take it?"
With soul in the pack

😭

[surreal spruce]

Balatro optimized is just 98% of the time is pairs

[hard mantle]

sis*

[molten thicket]

straight sucks to build towards

[lilac meteor]

I call every human bro

[surreal spruce]

No they don’t

[woven spire]

just took this shit cuz i did not check the stickers on it, great

[lilac meteor]

mb

[south badger]

i think the most optimal balatro tactic is discard until flush ngl

[molten thicket]

i would die if he takes it and gets trib

[lilac meteor]

It can work

i guess

[surreal spruce]

Straights are easy to build for

[hard mantle]

you're good, just i dislike it

[lilac meteor]

sorry sis 🙏

[last geyser]

Ok done the deck is all fixed!!!!

Let’s goo

[surreal spruce]

Ragebait ggs

[woven spire]

just makes my golden 1 dollar but yh

[last geyser]

I’m gonna continue this run tomorrow

[lilac meteor]

Whatcha got?

[last geyser]

It’s 4am 😭

[lilac meteor]

oop

[kind blaze]

W rodrick

[lilac meteor]

yeah go to sleep bro 😭

[lilac meteor]

Close enough

[molten thicket]

stuff like immolate destroys at random which sucks for straights

[south badger]

if something low skill it prolly works

[surreal spruce]

$20 is 100% worth it

For the slight variation

Since there’s so many factors at play there

[molten thicket]

negative rick isnt that different from rick

[south badger]

he got them neutral colors

[last geyser]

Thanks for the help and goodnight 🤗

[surreal spruce]

Like current distribution of your deck, what cards were even pulled, if you immolate and it’s mostly face cards that’s a W for straights

[lilac meteor]

Goodnight

Or morning

Its literally 4am

[kind blaze]

maybe...

[surreal spruce]

There’s a lot of factors to that to say it’s flat out bad it’s just high risk but the reward is typically always worth it

$20 is $20

[south badger]

alr ima also go eep bcus its 5am for me

[lilac meteor]

Its rick, but he's kinda edgy

[lilac meteor]

you cant bro

we need you

[hard mantle]

i basically only have value cards </3

[south badger]

fym i cant

[surreal spruce]

W start

[fickle mesa]

this is normal and good early on
