how bad do you want that juggler, i think you could pull off an ancient joker

wintry ice
#

i have a lot of blue seals and i'd rather not fumble the run because of holding them

#

ok now i have to hold less of them

Im pretty new to this game

And I do t k ow what should I do now

#

Help?

long sinew
#

I would probably get rid of scholar for business card and maybe smiley for chad but it depends on deck and levels

static pendant
raw whale
#

the great food combo?

long sinew
# static pendant

Hmm I’d probably swap smiley for chad if you’re just looking to win tbh, should be an easy win though

static pendant
#

Ok thx so much

rugged bloom
#

might've bugged the game

probably a modded thibg

potent tree
#

oof. do i drop something for erosion? bus is at 41 currently

hybrid tendon
#

if you keep cutting you could drop bus

shell dagger
#

might as well drop bus

hybrid tendon
#

erosion is at like 56 rn

shell dagger
#

it’s already better than it and will scale faster

hybrid tendon
#

yeah

potent tree
#

aight

#

unfortunate that i haven't found canio

#

i'm down to 2 face cards

quiet hawk
#

what is optimal copying for baron and mimes

shell dagger
#

both on baron

quiet hawk
#

im so pissed this is yellow deck though

#

otherwise it wouldve been a high score i think

#

maybe with serpent

potent tree
#

abandoned deck but better i guess

#

and yes i haven't found places to put steel or gold on my blue seal

#

the ONE blind i can lose to with this build appears.

#

wait

#

nvm acrobat can clutch

long sinew
#

Common acrobat W

olive locust
#

I hate acrobat

potent tree
#

also forgot i had grabber in my shop

#

so we good.

#

definitely picking up erosion over bus was the right call.

#

i understand the power of trading card now

olive locust
#

My first ever perkeo i got was negative and bc that was my first perkeo i didn't realize the colors were wrong and for some reason didn't read the negative effect so i fumbled the run cause i had one free joker spot and i only realized that in my last round

celest spade
long sinew

#

What was erosions effect

#

Its + mult for less cards in deck right

#

Or + chips

celest spade
#

Erosions is much better than i thought it was

#

u know what they say
a thin deck is a good deck

#

they say the same about twinks

if u already have a very thin deck youre probably very late gsme and it isn't good enough/ u alreafy have like 5 xmult options instead

I didn't screen shot but my last run i got 5.5x on throwback and 7.5 on astronomer + copy

bronze linden
#

i'm being bullied for a shop 1 madness

#

but alas

potent tree
#

highly unfortunate to roll this blind. but at least run is done

north spindle
#

its funny that gift card is basically only good because temperance is in the tarot pool
i can't think of many jokers who have their power level changed so drastically because of a single other thing existing in the game

potent tree
#

wait nvm i acrobat'd the needle

#

my dumbass keeps forgetting

azure wasp
#

Sell out for bluey and go naked against the boss, or keep green and chaos?

bronze linden
#

this run hates me

north spindle
#

i would keep that probably

azure wasp
#

Yeah

north spindle
#

pretty nice set of 2 jokers and tanking your econ seems bad

Ok that's what I thought, ty

I misplayed and forgot my glass jack and it ruined it FAH

azure wasp
#

Instead of Balatro this game should be called "Card Sharp saved my ass again" this thing needs a nerf imo

smoky orbit
#

HAHEHEH

#

very real💔💔

azure wasp
#

I'm almost sick of seeing it. I just passed on it in a run because I was growing lucky cat and pivoting to 3oak

#

It was only red stake though, it it were high stakes I probably wouldve fit it in and stuck with pairs

barren wigeon
#

correlation = causation

barren wigeon
#

doesnt work with so many builds and a couple bosses

azure wasp
#

If you find an early Sharp it's just about gg, and for many builds it is a complete life saver late

smoky orbit
#

is this rare?!?!

barren wigeon
#

straight builds

smoky orbit
#

i didnt expect that

barren wigeon
#

ANY 5 card hand build

#

even the water makes it hard to get card sharp online

azure wasp
#

If you see sharp ante 1 or 2 don't you take it 9 times out of 10? I do

barren wigeon
azure wasp
#

High card and pair enabler, one of the best ones

Definitely doesnt need a nerf

help what the fuck do i do

unreal iron
#

a blueprint could be anything, even a brainstorm!!!

junior cave
#

Blueprint is more favorable than brainstorm if you must

unreal iron
#

i mean you'd probably sell chad if you have enough ranks to play 4oak fib cards

last bolt
unreal iron
#

theres also an argument to sell brainstorm for copying xmult

#

or just do nothing and go next

last bolt
#

I think

#

I sell chad

unreal iron
#

yeah thats the most sensible thing to do

#

tribe could also go

#

unless you hit flush 5 or something

junior cave
#

You got the deck towards do so? You can do that then

last bolt

im playing uh

in case y'all didn't notice

flush 5 8s are okay tho

# lost vault it may not feel like it

it feel like every once in a while theyll just fuck up the fraction for things so maybe youll have every glass break or never hit a wheel, or if youre lucky get an unbreakable glass which is pretty nice

Except that wheel is actually a 1/2 chance cause either it happens or it doesn't. scholar

I've got 5 wins now, a win each on white stake for each of the basic colored decks. This means all the decks I have left to unlock are unlocked with progressively higher stakes

I want to get more practice in with the game so I can improve and have a better intuition, should I go for say checkered/abandoned deck wins or try blue/yellow decks with red stake and further to start

I feel like I should go with checkered deck

if you want to brute force improvement then play abandoned deck or black deck

hi guys currently ante 17 on plasma

i should drop the brain storm for a DNA right? still looking for the anti matter voucher and currently capping at e40 with 3 Dna's on Baron and 1 brainstorm on mime.

they're some of the harder and faster to unlock decks

the literal only reason I won black deck was rolling yorick early and getting to almost x7 before I used both ankh and blueprint in the 8th ante

so idk if I'm ready to return to black deck

not having the extra hand was already rough for economy on black deck white stake

unborn cliff

its more of a nuisance to have -1 hand before blue stake

#

after that its actually difficult to win

bitter elk
# unborn cliff yes

is the set up im running currently optimal? 3 BP baron 1 BS mime? i tried other combo's it wont go past e40

bitter elk
#

trying to econ hard till i find the DNA

unborn cliff
#

and since you have no steel 3 baron 1 mime copies is sufficient

bitter elk
#

thank you thank you hopefully thats enough till i find that DNA

unborn cliff
#

trigger vs score is 4 and 4 so it is optimal

slate vale
bitter elk
#

why you count the triggers do u consider the red seals as one already?

unborn cliff
#

mime is another

#

brainstorm is another

#

initial trigger is another

#

so 4

bitter elk
#

ah the intial trigger

then baron procs 4 times per trigger

question when u have baron on a steel card does that mean its triggered twice?

unborn cliff
#

mime triggers steel twice

slate vale

baron only triggers when there is a king in hand

bitter elk
#

yea so when u have baron and the king is a steel card how do u count that

unborn cliff
bitter elk
#

its 1.5 x 1.5 already but does that mean its 2 triggers? then the mime which triggers that effect twice?

unborn cliff
#

2.25x total

#

then mime triggers them both again

bitter elk
#

so essentially mime triggers both of them again

Hey folks, I'm curious, is there ever a point at which to sell my Runner? He's at 465 chips which is effectively 7 x2 Mult Jokers (correct me if I'm wrong please). The choice I'm considering then is selling Baseball Bro as at the moment he's only 3 x1.5s, which can theoretically be more with Mime, but I used this run to unlock the 2nd Card In Shop voucher so my deck is thick as hell, so the odds aren't high

Atm I'm doing every deck in order by stake, so until I beat a deck on all stakes I don't move on to the next

RNG kills a lot of the higher stake runs but there's also a lot of RNG I can mitigate and risks I can choose to avoid, so there is much to learn

# minor cosmos how do you get better at this game i feel like im bad ash

There's a few basic tips, such as;

When playing a flush round 1, you need 40 or more chips from your cards to get 300+, so Diamonds QJ1064 would be exactly enough, whereas QJ1063 would require an extra card;
Playing the hand you're given, like when you get a full house than can make up a chunk of the score but you have a straight or a flush that can beat the blind in 1 hand - you could risk it and dig for the 1 hand win, but generally you're better playing the guaranteed 2/3 hand win than going for a 1 hand win and ending up losing the run;
Don't go autopilot and forget to move around jokers like Brainstorm and Blueprint, and don't forget to move cards in hand for Photo, Chad, so on!!! VERY IMPORTANT

Another thing is watching some of Dr Spectred's runs and learning his thought process - he stops and ponders decisions at most of the steps of the way, between what hands are more likely to go for even as early as round 1, what order to do things in, whether now's a good time to sell and buy a lategame joker or if it's too early and risky, so on.

These'll get you to considerable progress. I have learned throughout many things that it's easy to enter autpilot automatically in games and in real life, and that life is much better if you take your time and learn to think things through. Your winrates will be better, you'll feel that juicy feeling of your brain working (I miss it please come back), and it will feel much more rewarding knowing you gave it your all and didn't lose to a simple mistake without thinking about it

# bleak lark Is skipping blinds any good? or is it just not worth in general

Oh, that's another one I remembered recently - usually outside of ante 1 as Lacroix said you don't want to do skips because you're missing out on shop opportunities and in-blind triggers like gold seal/card or lucky, the face money Jokers, so on. However, either Roffle or Spectred once said that if you want to go for a negative joker, you should first consider where your scaling is right now. If you can comfortably beat the current blinds, there's an argument to go for the tag. Otherwise, it's too risky.

You may also find that the higher stake you go (and on green deck) you have less money production in your average run, so going for skips gets a bit better

#

These happen to be like the only 2 times I watched Roffle, not that I have anything against the guy, I just prefer to actually play the game myself now, or if I need background chore footage I'd rather just watch Malcolm

bleak lark
#

voucher skip can be good if you have your deck and jokers fully setup and still need vouchers
