[tranquil steppe]

I’ve seen that maybe a total of 2 times ever

[manic zealot]

I'm actually taking it because hologram, if I didn't have hologram I'd NEVER take it

[tranquil steppe]

Yep you have HoloCert. Great combo all around for you

[manic zealot]

yep! and now i have brainstorm/blueprint too

my holo is at x16.2 lmao

[tranquil steppe]

Yea you’re cookin

[tranquil steppe]

That’s amazing!

[manic zealot]

I might make it past ante 11 with this damn

[ancient gyro]

i don't take illusion specifically because of hologram. someone else can enjoy their 6 dollar card purchases

[shell dagger]

All it does is make half the cards in the shop more expensive

It stinks

[manic zealot]

I didn't mind because I have clearance sale

[bitter perch]

Well fed = blueprint + dna

[manic zealot]

I essentially have the same amount of food for my hologram because of bp/bs + certificate

[ancient gyro]

the statement in question

[bitter perch]

Less helpful than copying good cards imo

[serene forge]

the best thing about illusion is that you can take it in naneinf runs and not shoot yourself in the foot by doing so

[manic zealot]

yes this is true

because it doesn't cause cards to appear more often so it's safe to take if you have overstock

this happened when I got naneinf

[lost vault]

balaro!

:3

[bitter perch]

@serene forge u give off gay vibes, idk what it is I can't put my finger on it

[jolly sage]

Replace yorrick with DNA? Yorrick is at 12x

[lost vault]

wtf stereotyping smg

[manic zealot]

yeah you're probably safe to

[serene forge]

shock and awe

[bitter perch]

Ikr, just a hunch tho

[jolly sage]

Alright thanks

[hybrid tendon]

oh she's very gay

[ancient gyro]

for bloodstone

[serene forge]

Miku_love

[lost vault]

gays

[hybrid tendon]

teto_heart

[lost vault]

:3

[bitter perch]

Das what I'm sayin

[hybrid tendon]

so true

[bitter perch]

So many of them... Next you'll say ur gay too

[serene forge]

Plasma Deck is the worst deck in the game. The average Balatro novice will think it's the best deck, "look how easy the first antes are!", except on gold stake you fall so behind on scaling that by ante 5 you're cooked. Each attempt ends up taking like 20 minutes because that's how long it takes to realize you're cooked. Whereas with something like Black Deck, you know within the first 5 minutes if you're dead, and if you make it past that, you've got an extremely strong chance of winning.

In short, Plasma deck wastes time and it sucks.

[lost vault]

maybe

🤔

[bitter perch]

Next it'll be me :0

Ahhh

Oh wait that's not new

[manic zealot]

it was one of the hardest to gold stake fs

[hybrid tendon]

lmao

yeah

plasma is bad

[bitter perch]

It's okay if u only focus on mult (emphasis on okay)

[hybrid tendon]

I did it chips only :p

[shell dagger]

it’s rough

chips only is easiest for a 1 time win

[lost vault]

plasma players when i bash their skull in with a brick

[shell dagger]

ow

[manic zealot]

just found a nat negative acrobat

don't mind if I do

[tranquil steppe]

So eternal rental BP after small blind. We skip yes?

[manic zealot]

start of the run?

then yeah skip

ok I found antimatter and a showman

...

let's see

[shadow frost]

do you take photograph here? over bloodstone?

[manic zealot]

yes

more reliable

[shadow frost]

in that case I probably brainstorm the chad over the sock I guess

[manic zealot]

plus you have a copy joker and retriggers

[lost vault]

bloodstone mroe like bloodshit

[manic zealot]

it's so good

[lost vault]

brownstoan

stone

[shadow frost]

this seed is nuts. I just naturaled all these jokers and a glass red seal king

[manic zealot]

that is huge

[lost vault]

actaully phooto graph wouldbe better

uwu

[manic zealot]

try not to play that king and instead to copy death cards with perkeo, to use on that king

[jolly sage]

Is mine safe in a flush 5 build?

Running steel kings*

[shadow frost]

oh really? thanks

[lost vault]

ya

:3

[manic zealot]

it's not gonna do a whole lot for flush five

because not a lot of cards are left to be held in hand

there are better pickups for the stage in the run you're in

[tranquil steppe]

Ante 1

[manic zealot]

yeah unless there's like a rebate there, I wouldn't take

it'll suck all the money away

[shadow frost]

thats my plan, I copied it twice, but cant find another death. I wish I didnt use my 2 right away but I was desperate at the time

[lost vault]

why steel? wouldnt lucky be better? for da money?

:3

[neon mural]

Might be one of the better setups I've had that actually made Hit The Road work. Found an early polychrome jack and landed hit the road shortly after

[manic zealot]

true, switching to luckies is worth

[ancient gyro]

yeah I'll do it

[manic zealot]

oh boy

[lost vault]

madness is peakness

[manic zealot]

o7

[spark kernel]

I HATE PURPLE STAKE I HATE PURPLE STAKE I HATE PURPLE STAKE

[manic zealot]

ouch

yeah

[spark kernel]

Iven been on this god forsaken stake for 5 days now

[manic zealot]

what deck

[spark kernel]

Red

[manic zealot]

purple is I think the biggest difficulty spike honestly

the scaling is hard to get used to

but you'll get it with time

[spark kernel]

And i thought greens scaling was bad enough when i first got introduced to it

[neon mural]

yeah once you clear purple working around perishables/rentals is comparatively easy

[manic zealot]

yep totally

[manic zealot]

what jokers you got left?

[spark kernel]

So basically green and purple are the biggest jumps in difficulty

[manic zealot]

no purple and blue are

losing a discard is rough

[neon mural]

https://i.imgur.com/0eiCSWO.png

[spark kernel]

Thats werid i never find blue hard

[manic zealot]

it's hard to notice at first but it's the effect blue stake has once you get to the higher difficulties

[pale wolf]

so blue isnt the jump

lol

[manic zealot]

not necessarily by itself if that makes sense

but it is blue's fault

[tranquil steppe]

Gold stake would like to have a word

[latent egret]

blue is approx 2.3x the jump purple is

source : evian

[pale wolf]

what

the water

yknow i always thought it was funny they named a bs filtered water company naive backwards

[lost vault]

bro doing math on in

t

it

[tranquil steppe]

Evian is not naive spelled backwards

[neon mural]

Nothing hits quite as hard as a scaling +mult on first shop, lets ride the bus baby

[lost vault]

blue stake is 100x harder than purple stake trustme

[manic zealot]

I can't wait to see it reworked

[latent egret]

its the town that named the water

[pale wolf]

sure sure

[bold lion]

what mimic does

[manic zealot]

mime?

[bold lion]

the joker

[ancient gyro]

humina

[manic zealot]

yes, do you mean the mime joker?

[manic zealot]

it causes card held in hand effects, like gold cards or the effect of the baron joker, to occur 2 times rather than only once

[bold lion]

hmmmm

thanks

is possible to restore a file you deleted?

[manic zealot]

not sure

[neon mural]

like a save file?

[bold lion]

yes

i did bullshit

by accident

[neon mural]

no idea but you could just unlock all

[bold lion]

i don't see fun on that

[neon mural]

Nat Neg Cert in a buffoon pack huh

[neon mural]

no I agree, but it is an option

[manic zealot]

it's not the worst time in the world to just restart, I find that fun personally but that might be just me

[bold lion]

i'll just do every again then

[manic zealot]

ya

[bold lion]

i just won two times anyway

[latent egret]

tired of this bs

[neon mural]

the first few stakes will go super fast now that you dont have to fumble around figuring out basic mechanics

[latent egret]

the last 5 gs runs ive have been BBC or madness

[manic zealot]

lol bbc

[latent egret]

not even on purpose, every time i see them taking them is the right play

[bold lion]

well

i know how to play poker

it wasnt hard at all

to learn the game

[neon mural]

the only thing poker helps with is knowing what hands are better than others to start

[bold lion]

yuh

the joker mechanics really intrigued me

what DNA does

[neon mural]

if you find a poker game with a banana lmk

[bold lion]

he is just shacking there

i didnt understnad

[hollow halo]

Tryna get naneinf on my alt account, was blessed with this 🙏

[bold lion]

?

[neon mural]

DNA makes a copy of your first card played if its a single card

[bold lion]

so i can just

hmmm

interesting

thanks

[neon mural]

useful for making more glass, polychrome etc

gold cards as well

[bold lion]

i have a justice card

[hollow halo]

Gold red seal king 🔥 🔥 🔥

[hollow halo]

Oh yeah it's rly good with that

[neon mural]

and obviously synergizes with blue/storm so you can make multiple copies

[bold lion]

the white voucher really doesnt do anything?

[hollow halo]

If u buy it enough times then it unlocks something

[bold lion]

kk

[hollow halo]

Idk if u care about being spoiled on what the thing is

Or if u just wanna know

[bold lion]

don't care

i'll play to find out anyway

you can tell me

[neon mural]

once you buy it 10 times, you can then purchase it in your next run and have the chance of getting the Antimatter voucher which is +1 Joker Slot

[bold lion]

hmmm

[mortal nimbus]

Keep in mind, you need to also buy blank in any given run for the upgrade to appear.

[lost vault]

blank sucks

uwu

meet potential voucher

0 antimatters
+0 joker slots
7 dollars wasted ( i have clearance sale)

[manic zealot]

this was very satisfying

[neon mural]

really only good if you get it somewhat early and have crazy good econ which usually means youre already well on your way to winning anyway so its really just a win more voucher

[lost vault]

its more like a getlucky boucher

but also winmore cuz it costs econ

[bold lion]

first run after the reset

[neon mural]

can I give you a piece of advice

[bold lion]

yes

[smoky bobcat]

you should hex rn

[neon mural]

you want your +mult jokers (like spare trousers and ride the bus) to be before your xMult (in this case your Mad Joker because its polychrome) because you want to stack your +mult and then amplify it with the xMult

[lyric yew]

how can i get better at balatro? because i am not very good

[manic zealot]

welp. I guess it's two holo runs in a row today

[lost vault]

uhh the homosexual joker should be placed after the bus

[bold lion]

the order influence?

[neon mural]

yes order absolutely matters

[bold lion]

oh noes

[worldly aspen]

watching people who are good at the game can help

[neon mural]

jokers trigger left to right

[lost vault]

and um

[bold lion]

15 hours of gameplay without knowing that

[lost vault]

pants should maybe be to the direct left of the homosexual joker

unless uhavent scaled it muhc

[bold lion]

i may or may not just lost because of that

[lost vault]

:3

[neon mural]

so typically people will set up +mult then xmult and then chip scoring can go anywhere because its calculated independently

[lyric yew]

ill try that thanks!

[lost vault]

independently

smh

[bold lion]

Which is the best deck?

[foggy yew]

Ghost

[bold lion]

i just unlocked green

[worldly aspen]

i recently watched a video on zaino teaching fir stuff on balatro and that has helped me get better

[foggy yew]

Or plasma

[neon mural]

'best deck' is hotly debated and can depend on what your personal style most caters to

[bold lion]

idk these

[worldly aspen]

your crazy

[neon mural]

I was a plasma enjoyer for the longest time but now im ghost only for chasing my last gold sticker jokers

[worldly aspen]

i love checkered deck but i wouldn'y say its the best, i do agree ghost though could be the best

[foggy yew]

Not a huge fan of plasma personally, but i know ppl who are maining it

[bold lion]

how can i unlock ghost

[neon mural]

keep playing

[manic zealot]

yep

[worldly aspen]

yeah

[neon mural]

youll unlock it naturally through gameplay

[bold lion]

beet

[foggy yew]

Get higher stakes, and play new decks

[bold lion]

i'll go with green than

[worldly aspen]

thats most thje game just play and you will unlock stuff

[bold lion]

then

[worldly aspen]

without trying

[bold lion]

so this game has gamebreaks like isaac right

[worldly aspen]

i do have a question, where can i go to try and get help getting mods for balatro

[lost vault]

ya

[neon mural]

#⚙・modding-support

[foggy yew]

I mean it's a roguelite just like isaac

[worldly aspen]

thanks

[lost vault]

any xmult that can trugger multiple times can be very game breaking

ie

glass cards

[bold lion]

hmmm

[neon mural]

photochad + retriggers

[lost vault]

u cant break every roguelite tho

like dotage (to my knowledge)

[bold lion]

deadcells

[lost vault]

i didnt wanna give an example of a legendary qwq

[foggy yew]

True, some are more skillbased, some more luckbased

[bold lion]

yeah

[lost vault]

umm uhm

ror2 is pretty hard to "break"

[bold lion]

deadcells is really breakable tho

but most skill based

Thanks Borin you really saved me some time figuring out the order matters

[foggy yew]

I woudn't say "breakable", there is quite a ceiling of how strong u can get, but u CAN get strong

[neon mural]

yeah once you get that down you realize how hard youve been nerfing yourself unintentionally

[bold lion]

i one shotted thok once

[ancient gyro]

fine ig no stickers

[bold lion]

dang

[lost vault]

hmmm

[neon mural]

youre grinding gold stickers with black deck?

[eternal pumice]

[bold lion]

i'm seeing some things i can barely understand lol

[worldly aspen]

why is your screen so wide?, mobil?

[lost vault]

i guess u cant really "break" Hades, just get rly strong

[neon mural]

Thanks Gros Michel

[worldly aspen]

wow\

[manic zealot]

based

also how

[unkempt reef]

so many invis jokers lol

[foggy yew]

But getting that kinda build still requires more skill than luck imo

[manic zealot]

you had a negative invis lmao

[neon mural]

sheesh

[worldly aspen]

the run im on is this currently

[unkempt reef]

i used ecto on it to get para

[lost vault]

this is like that meme with the 3 dragons but one of them looks stupid

[alpine socket]

Hooray

[bold lion]

tru

[foggy yew]

WHAT DID U DO

[vast ice]

I've done it

[neon mural]

Polychrome popcorn jumpscare

[worldly aspen]

i did it better just now

[lost vault]

ah hanginggraph, everuones favorie combo

[vast ice]

i kept getting seeds with either hanging chad or photograph

[shadow frost]

NOW WHAT DO I DO

[foggy yew]

:3

[ancient gyro]

[ancient gyro]

[lost vault]

i h avent played in a hot ass minut tho

[lost vault]

[foggy yew]

[foggy yew]

Why not Ghost ? Ectoplasm flood

[bold lion]

what are the stickers

i have none

[worldly aspen]

yeah i love supernova

[urban hull]

Hey everyone. New member here, I've been playing for a few months now. Just yesterday I won my first run on Gold stake, yellow deck. Lately I've been sweeping all the challenges. Now i'm working on Cruelty.
My current build is (trying to be) diamond Flushes, still at lvl.1 though. Econ is quite solid with Rebate.
What joker, if any, should I get rid of to leave room for the Photograph?

[worldly aspen]

nice

i won my first gold stake about a week ago on checkered deck

[worldly aspen]

mail in rebate absolutely

you need to keep the retriggers for photograph

[sullen lintel]

Can juggler save you from death by 0 hand size? Like if you hit ectoplasms and ouija until you have 0 hand size and then you get a juggler will he save you from your fate

[worldly aspen]

should

i would assume

[manic zealot]

yeah you give up rebate for photo

the retriggers are huge

[urban hull]

right... but what about econ

[manic zealot]

how much money do you have

[ancient gyro]

been playing on black for the past few months for the purposes of getting better at decision making

[worldly aspen]

this should carryu you for a while

[ancient gyro]

anyways

[neon mural]

can someone hack into my game and spawn in one of these 5 jokers please, I have a run thats def clearing gold stake but I cant find any of these

[urban hull]

31. i guess i could save on interest and never go below 25

[worldly aspen]

yeah

[manic zealot]

you have enough money you'll be fine

[worldly aspen]

im telling you this should carry most the run

[sullen lintel]

I dunno man

But steel joker only shows up if you have steel cards so try that for him

[worldly aspen]

with phtot

[neon mural]

I got some steel already so im prayin

[worldly aspen]

photo*

is steel joker good, i keep getting him to pop up in my runs?

[neon mural]

Another run wasted 🙁

no gold sticker for me

[worldly aspen]

dang\

[ancient gyro]

he's sorta mid for its niche but I'll take him regardless whenever he shows up

[worldly aspen]

ok

[sullen lintel]

Hes alright while youre deck fixing and collecting steels but gets pretty outclassed late game

[worldly aspen]

so i could lean towards him

[unkempt reef]

🫡 great run (Seed: HAIKL9NN)

[worldly aspen]

my god

[last geyser]

Holy

[sullen lintel]

(If youre doing a run that involves high card steels)

[lost vault]

all these kings and u playing pairs

smfh

yaoi hands

[ancient gyro]

doesn't have to be hc

[worldly aspen]

whats that

[sullen lintel]

If you just going ante 8 with steels then hes pretty good and I take him if I dont have xmult

[worldly aspen]

actually i think i heard this and i dont want to know

[lost vault]

yaoi is a term that means boy's love
it is homosexual

[worldly aspen]

oh

why did i think it was bad

[lost vault]

the hands part refers to holding a bunch of kings in ur hand

balatro style

[jolly relic]

should i just give up getting gold stake on every deck if im struggling very badly to do plasma deck

[worldly aspen]

no

[neon mural]

no

[lost vault]

i mean some of it is nsfw ig

[worldly aspen]

plasma is one of if not the hardest to gold stake

[sullen lintel]

I've actually only done a successful baron run like once

[worldly aspen]

you should be failing

[bold lion]

the one with lower xMult should be before the one with the highest, right?

[lost vault]

me too but it was freaky and i played 3oaks :3

[neon mural]

which is funny cause that was my first gold stake deck but I brute forced it

[lost vault]

the barons were like

mu only xmult for most of the run

it was so bleak

but it worked

[ancient gyro]

all in all just get him whenever you need direction

[worldly aspen]

with x mult it doesnt matter because remember multiplacation still gets the same value in any order now if you throw in addition it changes and you want addition first

[shadow frost]

is this the optimal ordering? All glass kings with red seal

[manic zealot]

yes

[worldly aspen]

looks it

[manic zealot]

that is optimal

[sullen lintel]

If all glasses then should be?

[bold lion]

yeah right

[shadow frost]

how do I go higher from here? Capped out at e15

[lost vault]

idj

[shell dagger]

oFol

[smoky bobcat]

Maybe put chad on the left if its all glass

[worldly aspen]

what? just make sure addition happens before x mult

[lost vault]

im sure this is legitimate

[ancient gyro]

u answered that too quickly

[lost vault]

todays my big day!

[manic zealot]

I have 2 monitors

[neon mural]

yikes mods ban this dude

[worldly aspen]

same

i could have 3 if i open my laptop

[bold lion]

just said you're right

[sullen lintel]

Naw itd be better to put another copy on sock instead of chad i think if they're glass but I think its optimal rn

[smoky bobcat]

wow i sure cant wait to use discount code “lose one million dollars” to lose one million dollars on my next purchase

[neon mural]

I have 3 + my screen for work mounted above my personal screens

[worldly aspen]

ok, i cant tell if you were being sarcastic cause you know

[bold lion]

i wasnt

i promise

[worldly aspen]

ok

[bold lion]

i said yeah right because i was being dumb

[worldly aspen]

could be better

[worldly aspen]

ok

peak

[neon mural]

do I take eternal rental midas with a pareidolia? my only concern is clogging up the slot long term

[smoky bobcat]

You can try moving that photo in your third slot one space to the left if you want to be optimal btw

to the left of the photo

[shell dagger]

yes

[smoky bobcat]

No

[worldly aspen]

yeah cause that does something definately

[shell dagger]

i take eternal rental midas mask on gold stake ante 1

[smoky bobcat]

It would put it on the left :)

[worldly aspen]

it did

[smoky bobcat]

:D

[worldly aspen]

do it see

it worked

you can definately tell right

[smoky bobcat]

good job Dan132

your did it

[ancient gyro]

yes

[worldly aspen]

tu hablas espanol?

please dont actually answer i was trying to mess with paperman i dont know a lot of spaneish, im only in spanish 2

[manic zealot]

I know a bit

[smoky bobcat]

Portugal número um :)

[worldly aspen]

what

[manic zealot]

portugal is number one

[worldly aspen]

oh

[toxic wolf]

wow

is this the run to get gold stake

[jolly relic]

do i take natural negative eternal hit the road

[worldly aspen]

i saw um but you meany uno ok

[ancient gyro]

context hat

[manic zealot]

only if you have the money

[smoky bobcat]

If you want to be optimal you can move the photo one slot to the left :)

[olive basin]

Si, yo hablo español pero no podamos hablar en este server

[manic zealot]

I could just tell based on context it must mean one

[manic zealot]

yeah unfortunately

[smoky bobcat]

That’s probably because it wasn’t spanish

[worldly aspen]

he said um and confused me

[manic zealot]

t

[worldly aspen]

because it should be uno or un

[smoky bobcat]

It was portugese

[worldly aspen]

oh

ok that makes more sense

anyways gotta go for dinenr

pizza

[smoky bobcat]

Literally no downside to doing so

[worldly aspen]

dominoes

[jolly relic]

i have 5 jacks

and 55 cards

[smoky bobcat]

Money is temporary but the xmult from discarding jacks is eternal (until the next round)

[heavy heron]

YOOOO

AT THE MALL

FOUND THE FOOL??

[foggy yew]

I actually got curious of ur definition of "eternal"

[jolly relic]

our brains are thinking

[ancient gyro]

a single screenshot does wonders

[jolly relic]

what

[smoky bobcat]

Forever but only sometimes

[ancient gyro]

cause we're autistic in here

[ancient gyro]

a single screenshot does wonders

[toxic wolf]

friends. is this the run

[blissful cedar]

Mime is the best retrigger

[ancient gyro]

sorta

[jolly relic]

so like i have eternal mime and then clever joker and then abstract joker and then negative eternal constellation and then oops and then lucky cat

[ancient gyro]

im still going with my word

[jolly relic]

i should take the hit the road ?

[ancient gyro]

there's always missing information no matter how many things other players usually say though

someone's run was ruined the other day cause they were on yellow lol

[smoky bobcat]

Is it free or is it like $11

[ancient gyro]

and they didn't bother to share

[jolly relic]

13 dollar 🎃

[jolly relic]

plasmer

[smoky bobcat]

Do you want the sticker for it

[jolly relic]

ooh you're right

[ancient gyro]

screenshotter ✌️

[jolly relic]

but like im never gonna be able to do

stickers

[jolly relic]

what 🥰

anyways ill just take it

since im so rich

[ancient gyro]

screenshotter ✌️

k

[foggy yew]

U just have to have it when playing last hand, not like actually use the joker

[toxic wolf]

it's every time with this game

every time i have a run

it finds a way

didn't get like any standard packs either

[bold lion]

what this does

[neon mural]

sell for a double tag which gives you double rewards if you skip a blind

[bold lion]

oh

[foggy yew]

Tell me (weird setup, i know)

[violet ermine]

guys I'm back

the only thing I need for completionist++ is bootstraps gold sticker

[toxic wolf]

wait is the interface modded that kinda fucks

[foggy yew]

Watch and cry

[foggy yew]

Fucks ?

[ancient gyro]

just crt and hr

[toxic wolf]

i mean it's cool

[violet ermine]

nah, I'm getting it tomorrow

[toxic wolf]

like the display for chips and mult is dope

[jolly relic]

should i sticker popcorn over space joker rn !!

[foggy yew]

My current mods, just some cool visuals and QoL

[ancient gyro]

idk !! u tell me !!

[neon mural]

Wraith just gave me a holo baseball card, wtf

[violet ermine]

yes

[foggy yew]

FUUUUUUU, right before Plant

And no way to get rid of it

[honest dawn]

Naneinf in a Ghost deck without legendaries

[jolly relic]

yay

i got

stickers

[foggy yew]

Pain

[smoky bobcat]

it wasnt actually that bad - if you wanna do them in bulk go for aneglyph deck and take the negative tag at the end of the run

i got like 25 stickers in one run doing that lol

[jolly relic]

stickers

yippee

[smoky bobcat]

good job :)

[fervent wolf]

Finally gonna get bean stickered

[jolly relic]

thankyiu

[smoky bobcat]

world's funniest bean extinct before the game ends

[fervent wolf]

( before bean I was rocking with a single Joker the whole game since ante 1)

[smoky bobcat]

its like jokerless but you have a free 7.5x mult

[fervent wolf]

Yay

[potent tree]

it took me a while to gold sticker the senzu bean

i think it was in my last 10

also yes i call turtle bean senzu bean.

it just rolls off the tongue a little nicer

[devout reef]

Greeded for seals and didn’t get punished

[jolly sage]

In the end I got cooked

[placid quartz]

what exactly would be optimal joker order here

[foggy yew]

What hand ?

[placid quartz]

flush five

with glass red seal kings

[foggy yew]

1 on blood stone 1 on sock

[placid quartz]

gotcha

is it worth selling chad for the oops

[foggy yew]

Definetly

If ur flush five, photochad is not doing much

Just remember to copy ur dna, u'll melt through cards with oops

[placid quartz]

true

thanks

[granite bough]

FINALLYYYYY got plasma deck gold stake😭😭

In the STUPIDEST way

[foggy yew]

U bruteforced it

GJ tho

[granite bough]

That delayed gratification carried so hard

[formal plinth]

first win. and on a non seeded run🥹✌️

[placid quartz]

welp, goodbye to the best run i've ever had 🫡

[placid quartz]

congrats!

[formal plinth]

ty :D

[bold lion]

i unlocked ghost deck

by accident

[foggy yew]

Perfect for sticker farming ❤️

[heavy heron]

hehehe chips

[heavy heron]

good job!!

[marsh dove]

If inmolate destroys all my cards in hand but I have cards left to draw I don’t lose right?

[heavy heron]

no you don’t lose

it auto draws

[marsh dove]

Cool

[heavy heron]

once 0 in hand

[foggy yew]

Like hell i do care about chips, just gimme more of that beautiful tiny gold circles

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

some good stickers

yummy stickers

[olive basin]

Excellent

[foggy yew]

3 more this run ❤️

I'm close

[heavy heron]

once you finish c++ you just kinda do whatever for fun it’s funny

[pale wolf]

ok so what the HECK is green deck? is it supposed to be IMPOSSIBLE!

[foggy yew]

Nah, u just have to 1shot everything

My goal is to have C++ before completionist :3

[heavy heron]

it’s possible, only if you have interest in doing it

get it

[pale wolf]

who is the first person to ever beat it??

[olive basin]

Impossible?

[foggy yew]

LocalThunk i guess

[pale wolf]

he must be relly good

[foggy yew]

In making games, yeah, very good

[heavy heron]

i like how over the months you’ve slowly just become a troll

LOOLLLL

[pale wolf]

ive always been a shitposter

[heavy heron]

prove it

[olive basin]

They have no goal because they have achieved everything there is in balatro

[heavy heron]

until i see the fully set up idol (every card is the same rank and suit) by ante 8 build

i disagree!

[marsh dove]

Funniest build I’ve had in gold stake for a while

Total times mult is 15000

[heavy heron]

negative sixth sense🤤

[foggy yew]

Negative 6th sense looks dope

[marsh dove]

6th was a nat negative the yorick and acrobat were ecto

[olive basin]

Then the shitposting shall continue

[marsh dove]

Fr

I’m glad you were right about immolate not killing me that would’ve sucked lmao

[heavy heron]

i honestly can’t believe how strong immolate is compared to almost every other spectral card

like every spectral is strong to the point it comes to with a drawback, often making it unappealing enough to not want

like -1 hand size

but

immolate?

fixing my deck AND $20? 🤤

2.5 hanged mans

[smoky bobcat]

the downside is you also gain $20

[heavy heron]

and money for it

[heavy heron]

you’re right my bad

i hate getting $20

[smoky bobcat]

cant proc vagabond that way

it sucks

[heavy heron]

you right you right

[lunar loom]

I was wondering if I could have someone coach me through balatro I'm in need of help idk what I'm doing majority of the time

[heavy heron]

you should look up balatro university on youtube

they’ll have lots of tips and stuff for you

[lunar loom]

I don't really think YouTube helps for me

[heavy heron]

fair

[lunar loom]

When it's an rng based roguelike

Each run is different

[heavy heron]

that is true, but they give generic advice applicable to most runs

if not all

because while every run is different

every run has a solution, too

it’s your job to figure out what that solution is

[last geyser]

That’s a cool way to put it

[heavy heron]

and i think that channel helps a bit in helping you arrive on said solution!

[hearty tundra]

Wha do you guys think the hardest gold deck is

Black?

[heavy heron]

and there’s always more than 1 solution

[lunar loom]

I'll check it out and see what happens

[foggy yew]

Plasma imo

[heavy heron]

i definitely think it’s up there

[lunar loom]

Is there a video you recommend

I'm currently stuck on base black deck

[heavy heron]

i actually haven’t ever watched them myself LOOLDGKDOPFJF

[lunar loom]

Buh

[heavy heron]

MY BAD

but think about where you struggle

why do you keep dying?

[foggy yew]

Priv

[heavy heron]

is it the bosses? is it money? is it bad jokers?

the hand type you’re using?

[lunar loom]

I just think I pick the wrong options

[heavy heron]

that’s fair

well my first tip that applies to every run is

[lunar loom]

Like the wrong jokers not rerolling when I should

[heavy heron]

always try to save up to $20-25

end of shop

always

thats how you consistently make money per round

[heavy heron]

and rerolling when you shouldn’t, maybe

you see

it’s hard to give actionable advice without actually seeing what you’re doing, yknow?

[lunar loom]

Exactly

[heavy heron]

i wouldn’t coach you per se but if you do a run, i can walk you through MY mindset

for surviving said run

on call if you want

while you stream it

[lunar loom]

That's why I want someone to coach me through and help while giving advice

[heavy heron]

well my offer is there

up to ya

[lunar loom]

Thanks

[heavy heron]

you’re on base stake black?

i can promise you we’ll beat it first try

but up to ya

[lunar loom]

I might be watching hells kitchen later

Idk if you're busy atm

[heavy heron]

that sounds fun

[heavy heron]

maybe in like 30 mins i’ll be available

[lunar loom]

Alright I'll see if I am too

I play on mobile so it might be a lil iffy

[heavy heron]

i’m on mobile too

dw

[lunar loom]

Alright

Thanks

[formal plinth]

ty :D

[hybrid tendon]

chat

what do I do here

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[serene forge]

overstock plus trust

[foggy yew]

Looks like ez BP to me

[hybrid tendon]

my mult...

[fervent wolf]

🍴

[smoky bobcat]

bp space joker for more scaling and pray

[foggy yew]

I'm madman

[olive basin]

Man has never taken madness before

[foggy yew]

I won few times with it, it's not as mad as eternal egg

[tranquil steppe]

Now you need swash boiiiiii

[foggy yew]

Just got it :3

[tranquil steppe]

lol there it is. Love it!!

[foggy yew]

And madness

[tranquil steppe]

One more xmult and you’re gucci

[tranquil steppe]

But it’ll eat swash RIP

[foggy yew]

Nah, no cash for madness

I'd sell egg, but ._.

[tranquil steppe]

Good

[olive basin]

When was logic even a option

[tranquil steppe]

Just yolo it

[foggy yew]

xDDD

What the shop

[olive basin]

Yo lovers card W

[foggy yew]

My most used one

[hearty tundra]

Painted deck is rough…

[abstract rivet]

Quick advice, i would suggest holding unto temperance until you see another tarot booster pack

So that it can grow a bit each round

Then use it right before opening a tarot booster pack in case you get a fool

[olive basin]

Why he do that when he could be earning 5 dollars interest and get brain storm?

[foggy yew]

I'm already well past that, but ty

[abstract rivet]

It gains 3 a round anyways

Did u seell abstract and replace with bs

[cursive lion]

max value temperance ❤️

[foggy yew]

Duh, sbviously

[foggy yew]

Also tempting

[cursive lion]

what is your current hand size since we don't know if you have like paint brush vouchers

[foggy yew]

Nah, i have 6, getting below won't let me scale square

[manic zealot]

I like high card

[foggy yew]

Quick question, if at the boss bean will be 1/5, will i get a sticker for it, or it'll discard itself 1st ?

[manic zealot]

you'll get the sticker if a joker is perishable

[foggy yew]

Yeah, but food joker

[manic zealot]

you must finish the round with it in your joker roster, as long as it's there at the very end

[foggy yew]

Food jokers dissapear once they are depleted

[manic zealot]

you should skip to the boss if your bean will be 1/5 at the boss

then it won't count if it's 1/5 at the boss it'll be eaten

[foggy yew]

2 more stickers

Closer and closer

[serene forge]

eternal egg is good

not mad at all

[pseudo surge]

brah 💔

[foggy yew]

It's not, just counterintuitive

[fervent wolf]

Hermit in the arcana pack

[foggy yew]

That'd be clutch

[pseudo surge]

there wasn't 😔

[serene forge]

am i stupid or is this math wrong

[foggy yew]

Ok, i'm dumb, too dumb for that

How's rental egg GREAT, viable, yes, but great ?

[fervent wolf]

When VV appears and I forget to reroll and I had 4 jokers ready to sticker that usually are hard to sticker:

[warped moth]

GG pages 6 (Hack) and 7(Loyalty Card)!
I only have 4 jokers left for my 2nd C++ now :D

[foggy yew]

2nd...

[warped moth]

The game never gets old 😌

[manic zealot]

frfr

I think I won

[potent tree]

i need to get back on my grind, i got 6 decks left to get c+ for the second time

i'm gonna try and complete c++ before c on this save as well

[manic zealot]

epic

[warped moth]

Gl with that!

Just leave blakc deck gold stakes for last

[potent tree]

nah i did it all in order so far

so black deck is done

[warped moth]

What a run

[potent tree]

honestly i struggled less with black than abandoned this time

[lost vault]

meowmeow~ uwu

[warped moth]

Thennn leave Plasma for last if you wanna

Since it's also a tough one

[potent tree]

nah erratic gotta be last

plasma will be 14th though

[manic zealot]

just got even better lmao

[oblique matrix]

Actually… you should set one of them on Chad…

[manic zealot]

not even crimson fart can hurt me

nah

[warped moth]

It can target chad or photo to cripple you

[potent tree]

[manic zealot]

I have them all copying photo in my game rn

[lost vault]

hell yeah

[manic zealot]

on ante 8 so i'm safe

[potent tree]

you should copy chad once and photo once

[manic zealot]

copy on both is better

[warped moth]

Idk y'all this looks like an all hands on photograph situation

[warped moth]

Yeah

3 scoring 3 retriggering

[manic zealot]

exactly

[lost vault]

they(localthunk) should make plant a finisher blind that always appears if u have face card joker

[potent tree]

against 2 scoring 5 retriggering

9 is less than 10

and they do not add up to 21.

[lost vault]

chat should i meow at my roommate

wrong serve roops

[potent tree]

lucky cat

i'm going to buy you

[lost vault]

.<

[warped moth]

Good point

[potent tree]

trust me i've forgotten myself at times

but it's drilled into my head now

now if you get a THIRD copy joker then you can put it on photo.

[lost vault]

nonsenes

[warped moth]

I got confused because chad gives 2 retriggers

[manic zealot]

I learned the ways from watching roffle videos when he's copying his jokers with bp/bs

[warped moth]

I'm way too used to using sock buskin and mime

[lost vault]

i think

it better to do photo

[manic zealot]

ya it was better score

[lost vault]

unless u have an even amt of copiers

ive done the math i thikn

[warped moth]

Yeah no azure has a point. One on chad and one on photo gives 2¹⁰ vs both on photo which is 2⁹

[dusty goblet]

Whats the best

Move

The invis joker is on 1 charge

[manic zealot]

sell invis for the chad probably

if it hits throwback it's a big oof

[digital pewter]

purple staked plasma

now onto erratic

[warped moth]

Well thought 🤔

[dusty goblet]

If it hits triboulet though🤑

[digital pewter]

inching closer to the finish line

[manic zealot]

gambling

[dusty goblet]

My inner gambler is tempted

[warped moth]

Welll

It's either gamble (sell photo) or play safe (invis)

[manic zealot]

yeah

[warped moth]

Or throw the run (trib)

[manic zealot]

I find I've improved the most as a player when relying less on the rng elements

that's why I think getting rid of invis is the better play here

[warped moth]

^^ especially in high stakes, consistency is valuable

[manic zealot]

absolutely

you can't afford to make mistakes in gold stake

[dusty goblet]

This is unfortunaltely only orange stake

[warped moth]

Though I will always attempt the stupidest runs possible for the love of the game

[manic zealot]

even in orange tho

[warped moth]

That's pretty high!

One before gold

[manic zealot]

tru

gold is not that much harder than orange in all honesty

[shell dagger]

i make mistakes in gold stake all the timr

you can’t afford to take too many, but however many that is will vary a lot

[warped moth]

:3

I loved that run so much

[manic zealot]

based

[dusty goblet]

That paid off

[manic zealot]

epic

[warped moth]

I also regularly go for full house
Why? Because I love full house 😌

[honest dawn]

I've already unlocked the voucher and officially have 100% of the game

[manic zealot]

ty showman, very cool lmao

[warped moth]

Well done!!

[honest dawn]

Double Showman

[warped moth]

Spiderman pointing at spiderman meme

[pale wolf]

how did you take a picture of balatro in 2005 with a flip phone camera

[manic zealot]

I just got a chad (huge)

[warped moth]

Except they're both Murphy

[manic zealot]

hopefully showman will show me another chad or photo now

[warped moth]

Oh yeah also

Gotta love getting a run to its maximum potential 😌

[rocky canopy]

My first win, I would like to call Jimbo some very rude names in celebration, because he was mean when I lost lol

[dusty goblet]

Thats the discord camera option for you lmao

[warped moth]

That nat neg hallucination was crazy value

[warped moth]

Congrats!!!

[dusty goblet]

First time reaching e

[manic zealot]

epicc

[warped moth]

Congrats as well!!

[manic zealot]

the wheel just hit poly on my drunkard

huge

ty showman very cool

[lilac meteor]

Throwback carry

[olive basin]

Showman pays out just be patient

[manic zealot]

ik

especially since I'm fishing for only commons anyways

[honest dawn]

Now I've been thinking and I think what I achieved in Balatro is insane.

I already have two naneinf and a "c++" achievement

I don't know, I was watching and it seemed crazy to me.

That's me

[manic zealot]

me too, twice as well. it felt amazing both times, I was super proud of myself lol

it's just such a grind

[quasi schooner]

How to get 100% on stickers?

[manic zealot]

on gold stake if you beat a game with any joker, it counts as all the other stickers for that joker, including gold sticker

I found a chad but it's perishable

[quasi schooner]

Fuck

This is gonna take some time

[manic zealot]

yeah it does

[shell dagger]

It won’t be that bad

[manic zealot]

ok I found an invis we're cooking now

[dusty goblet]

Yall see the potential?

[lost vault]

balarto uwu

[lost vault]

throwback think he part of the team 💀

[warped moth]

Honestly? While it takes more time, I found it significantly more fun than C+

You actually get to make builds you wouldn't try before, with gold stickering as the incentive

[dusty goblet]

Should I sell chad or photo?

[lost vault]

photo duh

[manic zealot]

sell photo yeah

[warped moth]

And you're not bound to a deck until you gold sticker it

[manic zealot]

I completely agree, I also enjoyed the process more than gold staking all the decks. because once I was done with the bad decks I never had to play them again lmao

[warped moth]

Exactly!!!

[lost vault]

photo would be worth 1 instance of 2x
chad would be worth 6

[warped moth]

I don't wanna touch black deck ever again
Until I decide to make a third save lmao

[dusty goblet]

For max score triboulet or chad should be on the left?

[manic zealot]

doesn't matter in this case

[dark cairn]

i wish i could get more opportunities to build around straights on higher stakes

[lost vault]

trib i believe

[manic zealot]

since you don't have a copy joker

[dark cairn]

straights are really fun to play around

[lost vault]

...brainstorm

[warped moth]

Yellow either, to a lesser extent
Really strong deck, I just find it boring

[lost vault]

thats

what theyre selling fir

qwq

[dark cairn]

also progress updaet

[manic zealot]

one of my most fun runs in a while was a gold stake run where I got to run straights the entire game because of early telescope and ante 1 shortcut

[dark cairn]

im on green deck green stake, im honestly kinda having fun with green deck so far

[manic zealot]

it was awesome

[dark cairn]

the extra early game economy seems to at least partially make up for the lack of interest economy later

basically just a worse yellow deck

[bleak blaze]

I will always be a believer in the Eternal Riff Raff Gambit

[warped moth]

Green deck is so unique

I don't think I can compare it

[dark cairn]

I just wish that interest vouchers did something for it

[manic zealot]

no bad hits but on the bp would've obviously been best

[warped moth]

That's true...

[dark cairn]

maybe seed money re enables interest for green deck and then money tree acts like seed money does on a normal deck

[lost vault]

but yeah 3 trib 1 chad would be 2^21
wheras 2 trib 2 chad would be 2^18

[bleak blaze]

I like Green Deck because you can spend like a maniac early

No interest is fun

[dark cairn]

you can kind of spend like a maniac in general

youre not tied to interest

[bleak blaze]

But can be an issue later on without the interest

[dark cairn]

but theres a reason people tie themselves to interest in the first place

its just the most reliable source of economy

[bleak blaze]

Thats why 90% of my GS runs are on Yellow Deck

[dark cairn]

either way i think that either green deck should start with seed money and money tree so they cant appear in the shop

or localthunk should make them work on green deck

[warped moth]

Big ghost deck fan, personally (buzz lightyear meme)

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[dark cairn]

my fav deck for gold stake so far is uh

unironically

nebula deck

[bleak blaze]

Hey Ghost Deck is fun

[manic zealot]

yellow is mine

[dark cairn]

nebula or yellow

[manic zealot]

epic

[dark cairn]

i just really like telescope

[bleak blaze]

I love being able to to stuff like this

[dark cairn]

and having it from round 1 makes it more fun to play around

[warped moth]

That's a nice one :D I just reeeally hate the disadvantage

[dusty goblet]

this is an insane seed

I can share it to yall

[dark cairn]

all i did was avoid emperor and high priestess

[lost vault]

its bait.....

[terse vale]

horrible decision but mannnnnn

[dusty goblet]

should I risk it?

[serene forge]

can i ask what possessed you to take an eternal throwback

[manic zealot]

you should sell chad for it but chances are it won't be good

[manic zealot]

I think you can since chad is common

[lost vault]

what would you even get that helps lowkey

its way too late for perkatory

[serene forge]

chicot

[manic zealot]

but it's probab;y the wrong play

[lost vault]

chicot i guess but like idk

[manic zealot]

not very high risk so up to you

[lost vault]

u lose a considerable amount of scoring

[dark cairn]

can you guess what hand i'm playing around?

[serene forge]

1 in 4 chance of chicot isn't bad

this run is already completely won with 2 tribs

[warped moth]

I would 100% get that, that looks like a very funny run if you survive

[dusty goblet]

judgment pull..

[serene forge]

and you'll find the chad later

[lost vault]

the chad is worth 64x mult

[manic zealot]

straights

[serene forge]

literally not possible because judgment doesn't generate eternals

[dark cairn]

✅

[lost vault]

i mean technically the run has been won

ante 12

[dark cairn]

i love playing straights when its viable to

[manic zealot]

they're great, and saturn scales very very well

[warped moth]

My gaming philosophy is "Fuck it we ball" 🗣️

[dark cairn]

its comical how strong they are and how little scoring help they need when you dont need to completely build your deck around them like 4oak

[serene forge]

uhh

[dark cairn]

plus superposition is funny

[serene forge]

ur right

[lost vault]

:3

[manic zealot]

yeah having an early shortcut is like having a chip + mult joker it's so good because of how good saturn cards are

[serene forge]

i literally cannot read i somehow thought this was ante 6

don't ask how

[lost vault]

qwq
