[floral mural]

are we calling hallucination bad? opening packs is good

[frank grove]

but if you have enough 8s and retriggers and an 8 ball it would be impressive to lose

[rocky tiger]

Ok thats a good point i forgot carto activates at the end

[floral mural]

you get rewarded for opening packs

win win?

[unreal topaz]

no i'm saying i like the idea of having 3 of it

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[floral mural]

having 3 hallucinations sounds fun unless theyre all eternal

as good as fixing is 2 joker slots for scoring is rough

[unreal topaz]

still fun, just score with blue seals and glass/steel

easy

i'm barely even kidding

[floral mural]

also about vagabond. rebate vagabond is basically no downside vagabond

rebate gives so much money

anything with rebate is good apart from burglar tho

rebate is just too good

[frank grove]

rebate is far too good

[idle haven]

What's the move

[floral mural]

skip

[lavish gazelle]

Having three is kinda odd since if you hit you overcap on slots

[torpid bridge]

We were just talking about 8ball lmao

I love 8ball

[idle haven]

8 BALL

WHERE

[floral mural]

the odds are independent so thats fine

[torpid bridge]

Scroll up abit

[idle haven]

I want 6 8 balls and a negative oops

NOW

[frank grove]

how about 2 negative oops

[idle haven]

Don't have to tell me twice!

[torpid bridge]

Imagine 2 oops with lucky cards

You get infinite money

[idle haven]

Can't wait to get 12 copies of lover and one star 🙏🙏

[idle haven]

I actually had a bloodstone run like this

I think I sent it here before

[frank grove]

i always forget the fragile challenge exists

and that dna isnt banned in it

[quartz ember]

dna isnt much use unless you are scoring with high card, eh

[frank grove]

its useful on fragile? the entire deck is glass with 2 oops

everything insta breaks

thoughts?

[quartz ember]

so does the card you used to dna

[frank grove]

yeah, but not the copies

you just got to find a copy joker

[quartz ember]

copies?

[quartz ember]

oh right

[frank grove]

it copies the card, you get a replacement

[quartz ember]

"just"

[frank grove]

with enough money anything is possible

[quartz ember]

true

[frank grove]

or with the infinite tarot gen anything is possible i guess 😭

[rocky tiger]

Reroll

[frank grove]

im not actually doing vaga

[rocky tiger]

Sell baron

[frank grove]

thoughts?

[quartz ember]

epic

[rocky tiger]

Eightball goat

[frank grove]

now i just got to find ... dna!

[torpid bridge]

I love 8 ball

I actually once wanted to become a balatro content creator

But im lazy as fuck to set things up

😔

And like

Im using a mac mini as my daily driver

Can it even stream

I dont even have a mic

And a webcam

[wary zodiac]

always take the free shop skip tag

ante 1, econ, base mult, xmult

[stable owl]

What is eternal

[lunar zealot]

if you have it you can't get rid of it

ever

[stable owl]

Oh is it like the challenge

Haven’t tried those yet

[frank grove]

yeah you cant sell it, it cant be destroyed by ahnk, hex, dagger or madness, shows up in challenges and black stake and above

[pliant yoke]

You'll end up taking a "bad" Joker just to survive early, and get stuck with it later.

[robust pawn]

My run is done 😢

[jade arch]

Does pareidolia also work with the spectral cards that generate face cards?

[torpid bridge]

No

[wary zodiac]

everything is tempting besides the eternal

gold joker is less so but its still econ with bull

[subtle steppe]

should i go baron?i have 6 steel kings

[torpid bridge]

Burglar my goat

[signal frigate]

All playing cards

[wary zodiac]

i love bungler

[signal frigate]

Except for Stone cards since they don't have ranks

[signal frigate]

Not really too late to do it, you could try selling one of your photos

[wary zodiac]

they have secret ranks underneath the enhancement, but idr if that counts

[signal frigate]

Stone cards removes the rank

You can reverse it but as a stone card, they don't count as a normal playing card

But they'll score regardless unless they've been debuffed

[shell dagger]

late but I’d take burglar here

7 hands vs violet vessel is way easier than 4 hands especially when all hands score the same with bull

[signal frigate]

I didn't see this but yeah, I'd actually take Burglar here too lmao, Gold is the second best though

Bull can carry while burglar can generate you hand money

[subtle steppe]

dame un grr

[subtle steppe]

genuinely

[quartz ember]

very nice, i guess chad goes unless you have lots of luckies etc

hope your deck is fixed nicely

[stable owl]

How tf you get 2 blueprints

[subtle steppe]

3 invis in 1 run

[quartz ember]

ankh, invis, showman

[stable owl]

Annnnnd you got mime

[stable owl]

Let playing cards into shop is bad no?

[wary zodiac]

i took burglar and won :)

[wary zodiac]

typically yeah, it just floods your shop

[wary zodiac]

cool to know

[gloomy swallow]

Satellite has been gold staked!

3 more to go;

[wary zodiac]

yeah, i ended up with like, 700 chips on bull by the end

[signal frigate]

Good job

[wary zodiac]

i had reroll voucher just in case, but i didn't need it, the crimson heart decided to debuff my econ joker, my burglar, then finally debuffed a scoring joker by the time i was like, 5 chips away from the score requirement 😭

plasma deck is so silly

[gloomy swallow]

Progess

Wait I meant to put it in red tier

nvm

[stable owl]

What does the draft paper joker do

In top tier

[torpid bridge]

Why was space joker on the top

[craggy hearth]

Copies the ability of the leftmost joker

Brainstorm

[stable owl]

Bruh so another blueprint?

[craggy hearth]

Similar

[gloomy swallow]

It's just the goat

it just is the goat

this dude did so much

[torpid bridge]

Yeah so much

Literally upgrades my high card 2 times per run

[gloomy swallow]

would you call this a winning run

I would

I won with it

as dumb as it is

I was taking poly skips because my debt was uncureable

but I managed

he did that

that's what good jokers do

[stable owl]

-34💀

[pale wolf]

??

[gloomy swallow]

final debt was this

[signal frigate]

They asked about Pareidolia

[gloomy swallow]

-55

[signal frigate]

If it counts cards as face cards generated by consumables

[pale wolf]

yea, they were asking is parei would make familiar make any rank card

[torpid bridge]

-34 money is goated

[pale wolf]

at least i'd assume

[gloomy swallow]

that's an interesting Reaction

[pale wolf]

and tbh i dont know why it doesnt

i've thought the same thing

[signal frigate]

Well it's not gonna be a face card but it'll count as one

[pale wolf]

all cards count as face cards so why isnt the pool of ranks all ranks now

confuzling

[gloomy swallow]

wouldn't that make incantation

uh

go kablooey

[pale wolf]

why

[gloomy swallow]

that one run I had just bumped up the usage lul

[torpid bridge]

I think pareidolia only affects jokers

If you have canio and parei

Strength helps scale canoo

Cuz canio is a joker

[pale wolf]

strength

[torpid bridge]

I mean

Hanged man

[pale wolf]

i know what parei does but i dont know why

it doesnt say it only affects jokers

also no parei doesnt only affect jokers

the plant

the mark

[torpid bridge]

I mean

Debuff is only in the match right

Anyway

Maybe localthunk wasnt even aware of this

[pale wolf]

thats what i wonder

if it was even considered

@austere escarp hi juice

[torpid bridge]

Flush enjoyer

[stable owl]

Me the flush five enjoyer:

[gloomy swallow]

ironically my most played hand is highcard somehow

[subtle steppe]

ante 18 no retcon,no plant

[torpid bridge]

Same here

[pale wolf]

normal

mine was high card for a time in between flush and pair bc i was trying out big hands so often

and scaling mult builds are what i won mostly with until i got better

[stable owl]

I just wish I can start with dna and trading card every single time

[subtle steppe]

BOI

[acoustic kettle]

What if trading card is copiable

[subtle steppe]

more money

[jade arch]

Should I take it?

[cloud sinew]

would just give more money per copy, like what having multiple trading cards does now

[cloud sinew]

no

well

[jade arch]

But ride the bus...

[cloud sinew]

if arrowhead wasnt perishable i would say 100% no, but someone more awake than me would be able to argue in favour of taking it here

[magic cosmos]

its ante 3 and arrow head is perishable I would say take it until u find another reliable chip source

[jade arch]

I also need to gold sticker the stone joker

[magic cosmos]

no u right they can still hold on the arrow head until it perishes but their eco dosent look the best and dont trust the rng gods

plus it not eternal they can sell it whenever

[magic cosmos]

it could be good if u find hologram too

[pale wolf]

lilogram

i just made that up

@cloud sinew feel free to steal

[lunar zealot]

marble joker for speculative holo

truly the minds of balatrocord knows no bounds

[pale wolf]

it worked once so its a good play

[lunar zealot]

your mom

[pale wolf]

what ?!

[silk cobalt]

Should I buy the mobile too even if I have the Steam version? (wish we could download mobile ports of bought games but I understand why they don't)

[exotic orchid]

Had an interesting run. Got 3 gold stickers.

[exotic orchid]

I have both.

Amount of playtime i have justifies the purchase. Even though i don't play on pc.

[magic cosmos]

as long as u don't take bloodstone every play is correct

[willow frost]

ok not playing on pc immediately invalidates that purchase

[exotic orchid]

I use it for some other purpose

Mobile modding.

[willow frost]

oh ok fine

[torpid bridge]

I have on both

[magic cosmos]

why?? u can buy the game just to support

[torpid bridge]

And i found myself playing on mobile more

🥲

[willow frost]

if youre just straight up not using it thatd be a waste

[torpid bridge]

I haven beaten gold stake on steam yet

🥲

[willow frost]

fair

cant you just send him money though

[willow frost]

gl, the streamer luck will kick in soon

[magic cosmos]

but I want the game instead I wanna play somewhere else and I have a backup plan

[torpid bridge]

I respect localthunk so I paid for both version

[nimble igloo]

I have it on steam and ps5

[torpid bridge]

I see no reason of not purchasing on mobile if you feel like

[exotic orchid]

Same lol. Nothing beats lying on bed at 2am playing balatro because I can't sleep.

[willow frost]

well if you want to play somewhere else thats fine, im just concerned if you buy it and dont play it

[magic cosmos]

[magic cosmos]

thats fair as well

[torpid bridge]

Honestly you would play on mobile more because of how convenient it is

[nimble igloo]

Why the concern, people can do what they like with their money and I bet you've got games in a backlog somewhere you've not played. It's inevitable these days

[torpid bridge]

You are on a bus, you prolly play it yo pass time

[exotic orchid]

Pc version has the perk of enabling mobile modding.

[willow frost]

i started playing on pc so i fucking hate playing on mobile lmao

[magic cosmos]

yeah u can do so everywhere anywhere

[torpid bridge]

The only drawback of mobile is you cant install mods

Actually can but so tedious

[willow frost]

i havent paid for any of them lol

[magic cosmos]

true

[willow frost]

but yeah people can do what they want with their money

[willow frost]

as in theyre all free

[torpid bridge]

The only thing that I find a waste of money is subscription to corpos

Like youtube premium

[exotic orchid]

I just install the mods i want to play for the month and forget. Also once you set it up properly with lovely injector. Its very easy to mod.

[torpid bridge]

Spotify or what not

I prolly hate the rich

I dont want them to get richer

[lunar zealot]

something about you feels very familiar

[willow frost]

lmao

the username and pfp might give it away

[exotic orchid]

Ye i hate subscription model.

[tiny temple]

I know it isn't actually impressive to people here but I'm hyped that I got my first 1 billion chip hand last night

[willow frost]

nice

what were you using

[nimble igloo]

I keep getting stuck on ante 12, I have no idea how to build to score that much

[torpid bridge]

Subscription model gives the false impression of we owning something, and it boosts consumerism which is not a good thing at all

[nimble igloo]

Managed to take this out though

[silk cobalt]

Same lol
1 Glass Five of a kind Photochad with blueprint brainstorm was my setup 🔥

[exotic orchid]

Either go for flush five builds or high card builds with baron and mime. Both can reach past 13.

[magic cosmos]

hhhhhmmm what could it be

[willow frost]

you cant get much further without photochad/trib/glass or baronmime

[torpid bridge]

I think the first one who used this model was salesforce, seeing how much money they make has inspired other corpos

[nimble igloo]

[viral raft]

Baron mime or face based builds

[lunar zealot]

ante 12 kills 90% of builds

ante 13 kills the other 5%

[willow frost]

its basically the cut off point for any interesting builds

[lunar zealot]

past ante 13 there are essentially 5 builds that survive

[silk cobalt]

With Perkeo, anything is possible

[nimble igloo]

I just want to do ante 12 for the last voucher unlock atm

[cunning osprey]

I hate this game

[willow frost]

fair actually

[silk cobalt]

Oof

[viral raft]

5? i thought that only Baron mime, Trib and idol build were the only builds that survived +13 antes

[willow frost]

i havent seen perkeo in over 6 months, thats why i forgot

[lunar zealot]

bloodstone and observatory

though bloodstone not for long

[viral raft]

true, but bloodstone is kinda like a weak Trib so yeah

[silk cobalt]

Get enough cryptids and we're chilling

[magic cosmos]

Bloodstone is wack

[nimble igloo]

My collection looking almost complete - I just need to find a few jokers I've unlocked but not bought. Only two locked are 100,000,000 in one hand and another I forget.

[tiny temple]

I would have taken a picture to remember better but had $400+, the joker that gives mult for $$, blueprint and the joker that gives mult for each card added to the deck, a polychrome random joker and then the one that gives xmult for skipping blinds (as the deck that gets double tags)

[exotic orchid]

Sell invisible joker.

[willow frost]

get the perkeo first
also if you're talking about cryptids thats just turbo baron mime, pure perkeo would be observatory gaming

[cunning osprey]

it's not enough tho

[willow frost]

nice!

[exotic orchid]

Oh shit yeah you are right.

[cunning osprey]

I can get 13$ at most

[jade arch]

bruh. Sixth sense does nothing when duplicated

[willow frost]

i cannot spell

[silk cobalt]

True... The mult on 50 eris would be

[torpid bridge]

Bloodstone is more like ancient

Idol is more like triboulet

[tiny temple]

Thanks!

[viral raft]

:true: i still dislike Bloodstone

[exotic orchid]

Yeah don't think you can copy it. Kinda stupid tbh.

[torpid bridge]

It is reasonable

[viral raft]

same as Vampire

[lunar zealot]

sixth sense destroys a 6 and makes a spectral

a duplicated sixth sense cannot make a spectral because the first one already destroyed the 6

[torpid bridge]

Since you only play one card, you destroy a single 6 and thereby should only get 1 spectral

[silk cobalt]

Could've given u 2 spectral cards atleast

[exotic orchid]

I mean it could have given and extra spectral lol.

[lunar zealot]

it's simple to understand

[torpid bridge]

Then its broken

You cheat its penalty

Which shouldn't happen

[silk cobalt]

It's also kinda rare to get two so... 🤷

[viral raft]

yeah, basically the same as Vampire, it "takes" the enhanced and then obtains the xmult

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

And that also dismisses seance which has worse gameplay

Imagine 6s can be copied while the minigame is so easy

Whats the point of playing seance?

[exotic orchid]

Feel like games are far more interesting when you are farming for gold stickers. Encourages more experiment with jokers you won't take otherwise.

[silk cobalt]

Stickers won't be put on seeded run right?

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[obsidian patrol]

Yes

[tiny temple]

Still so far away from that haha

[torpid bridge]

Too me i find the surviving improvise interesting

[pale wolf]

thats like saying you only play 1 hand per hand and so you should only be able to scale 1 green joker at a time

[torpid bridge]

On high stakes combos dont often appear as easily in low stakes

[pale wolf]

its not necessary

[tiny temple]

Is there any guide or general strategy for early hands prior to having jokers? I still struggle with deciding what hand to go for and how aggressively to discard

[torpid bridge]

Green joker only scales 1 per hand

Iirc

[pale wolf]

read

[slate vale]

Huh

D:

[torpid bridge]

So you are saying im saying unnecessary stuffs cuz its obvious?

[pale wolf]

no..

nevermind.

[silk cobalt]

Perishable... Ooff
It's still usable nonetheless

[slate vale]

I guess

[tiny temple]

Have not seen perishable jokers yet, too low of stakes so far, that horrifies me!

[slate vale]

Annoying in some cases

[silk cobalt]

Go for flushes on the first ante 90% of the time

[slate vale]

Yup

[tiny temple]

How frequent are they?

[slate vale]

Pretty frequent

[silk cobalt]

The other 10% are higher scoring hands XD

[slate vale]

At least it makes temp value D:

[slate vale]

1% is straight flushes

Lol

[jade arch]

Bloodstone clutch

(pls give me oops alerady)

[slate vale]

Got oops and 8 ball (perish) shop 1/2
Got michel and cav (back to back)
I got a lucky cat on the last shop before i die (And haven't drawn any lucky cards even with decent deckfixing)

[west python]

Rip run 😭

I'm cooked

[slate vale]

Photophotophoto fakechadchadchad

Woaaah

[jade arch]

Mime please mime come to me

MIME!!!!!! I NEED YOU MIME!!!!!

[quartz ember]

no you need some reliable mult

[latent egret]

baron in gs

[exotic orchid]

Baron never works this early lol.

You need hand levels.

[latent egret]

wee is a free win

very often

[calm furnace]

how big is that wee?

[jade arch]

It's wee

[exotic orchid]

My wee is average sized. ☺️

[torpid bridge]

Wee makes up for the chips

[serene forge]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[raw whale]

YOOO

[molten thicket]

gaming

whats that blind display mod called

[hardy fable]

if it ain't broke don't fix it

[quartz ember]

you dont have any xmult?

also is that an ancient joker in the 2nd picture and you are playing high card???

[brisk bluff]

?????

Keep getting cavendish 💀

[quartz ember]

I mean yea if you have snova then you do that but make sure to get some good hand levels in that case, and xmult always

[quartz ember]

me when common joker is common:

[raw whale]

this is fucked

[brisk bluff]

Back to back shops tho

[molten thicket]

how did you manage to do this

[grand peak]

@brazen basalt do you play balatro

[brazen basalt]

Yes

[grand peak]

Wow 😲

[torpid bridge]

You dont have enough x mult jokers

[serene forge]

roll more

[quartz ember]

fix your econ then

[torpid bridge]

But lmao the joker skin

[quartz ember]

also remember to use steel and glass

[torpid bridge]

I see big 🍑

[raw whale]

yup i'm dead

actually i can win this maybe

[torpid bridge]

I think that what makes you unable to win the game

Stop looking at 🍑

[raw whale]

nope

[serene forge]

NEGATIVE ONE DOLLAR

[molten thicket]

how are you always in debt

[raw whale]

money eating boss blind and bad econ

i should have probably sold bp for money

[torpid bridge]

Btw I have doomed yuri

On black deck

[raw whale]

doomed because choose 1

i'd brainstorm because eternal, has some madness/ankh potential

[torpid bridge]

I lost that run btw

🤓

[raw whale]

lol

[torpid bridge]

Early game i had only business card

And bp

No scoring jokers

Lose at boss blind ante 1

[raw whale]

isn't that pretty impossible

[torpid bridge]

Boss blind is 600

Which needs 2 big flushes

I couldn't dig 2 big flushes

💀

[jade arch]

Stone joker out. Only two left. Vagabond and flower pot

[wintry ice]

doing the boss blind on black deck with no scoring jokers is asinine

[quartz ember]

on black deck its not

[torpid bridge]

Yeah it was a sure lose run

I didn't save the seed

But things get pretty impossible cuz no scoring jokers early game

The econ was also rental which made econ terrible

[ancient gyro]

that joker usually pays for itself provided ample scoring

[torpid bridge]

Idk but like on black deck

You have to dig for face cards

[serene forge]

I hate Lusty Jonkler

[torpid bridge]

And the odds is 1/2

If you are unlucky enough you get no money

[brisk bluff]

Is this good order

[latent egret]

glass ? red seal ? poly ?

[ancient gyro]

we make do

[latent egret]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[brisk bluff]

Red seal wild

[latent egret]

i think trib is better to copy

[latent egret]

with red seal

[torpid bridge]

I think this was the build that got me win black deck

I was super lucky to get 2 cavendish

Cant recall how

🙂

[brisk bluff]

Alr ye

[latent egret]

its honestly worth going for glass at this point

because you wont get ante 17 without glass and another retrigger

aj is starting to not be enough

[magic cosmos]

someone is very late to the party

[hybrid sparrow]

how is this score possible

[hybrid sparrow]

how

[magic cosmos]

thats like nothing on white stake

[magic cosmos]

dont take bloodstone

[hybrid sparrow]

im trying to get past green stake on the first deck

[magic cosmos]

honestly i miss my lucky cat

i dont want a trib

[abstract rivet]

Tribs basically another idol

[hybrid sparrow]

is anyone playing right now

[abstract rivet]

Its 32x at worst witha flush 5

[ancient gyro]

ok
you have 8+25 cards to dig for face cards initially. generally over half of your deck in which 6 of your face cards are drawn out.

business ev payout is 6 dollars, with rental is 3. for low rolls that's usually fine given you have the scoring to not die in the moment for more shop leniency.

rentals are slightly more strict with econ management but it still has positive ev provided you're keeping it over the long term just fine

[abstract rivet]

And you got retriggers so its way better than cat will ever be

[magic cosmos]

ik but I want my kitty back

[magic cosmos]

i know i know bcz im just being a cry baby

I got at least another 2 antes bcz of it

[pale wolf]

actually u love showman

\

if you rearrange the letters in showman you get shwoman

[magic cosmos]

just play white stake on ghost deck and emulate ur entire deck

blow up everything for money

and never take bloodstone

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[slow iris]

I hate Throwback

[silk cobalt]

How many copies of a certain rank in an Erratic deck 5 of a kind build for u to decide "Ok am done rerolling"

[pale wolf]

there isn't any, its entirely random

afaik

[serene forge]

none because I don't play 5oak

because it sucks

[pale wolf]

oh wait

[hardy fable]

don't reroll and just play

git gud

[pale wolf]

i am dumb i thought you meant the game decides what the max number of a rank is

[silk cobalt]

How bout flush 5

[pale wolf]

uuh

i dont play erratic and when i do i dont reroll

[acoustic kettle]

5oak sucks

[terse vale]

ya

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[exotic orchid]

Depends on my mood. And type of spread.

If there is a deck with 8-9 king of hearts sure. I can deck fix the rest.

If its spread everywhere. Probably 15

[cloud sinew]

this would make a good anton ego meme

[cloud sinew]

any

[gloomy vigil]

bought balatro

I dont know ANYTHING

[exotic orchid]

Congrats.

[gloomy vigil]

I dont even know how to play normal card games

[exotic orchid]

Gamble.

[cloud sinew]

you dont need to, dont worry

the game tells you how to make every poker hand, just hover over the poker hand in Run Info

i didnt know basically anything about poker/card when i started :3

[exotic orchid]

If you need any specific clarification you can ask here. Evergone will be happy to help.

[cloud sinew]

^

[gloomy vigil]

lemme boot the gamr rq

what is a face card

I made it to ante 2

[exotic orchid]

Cards with K Q J on them. They have a chip score of 10.

[gloomy vigil]

thanks

[stable owl]

When you press run info it should show what the hand types look like

[gloomy vigil]

what is a straight

[stable owl]

Consecutive numbers

[dreamy creek]

i love bloodstone

[latent egret]

you can look these up, they are just normal poker hands

[exotic orchid]

Straight with face cards would look like A K Q J 10. But you can also do 5 4 3 2 A. A can be placed both at the top or at the bottom.

[gloomy vigil]

made it to ante 3

lovely

[stable owl]

Flush five:

[stable owl]

What jokers you using

[gloomy vigil]

ante 4

am doing wel I think

[pallid bronze]

i keep always losing in infinity antes

[gloomy vigil]

joker crazy joker ride the bus and dusk

[vale wharf]

Wow, it's a spare trousers reference

[lunar zealot]

to understand balatro you need to understand how to win the game

[pale wolf]

woah

[lunar zealot]

first you need to understand how to lose the game

[pale wolf]

a snivy

[lunar zealot]

the way to lose balatro is to not score enough to beat the blind

this can happen for 3 and only 3 reasons

1. Poor choice in jokers

2. a boss blind that you cannot deal with

3. a hand that you are unable to play

[stable owl]

Have at least one economy joker then choose mult joker then chip joker

[gloomy vigil]

pluh

[stable owl]

Is it even that good…

[gloomy vigil]

two pair is my goat

[lunar zealot]

throwback? not remotely

[pale wolf]

lilotic

[gloomy vigil]

truly the lightning of the balatro world

[lunar zealot]

at best, its best use case is for x1.5 mult but that's not by skipping blinds

nonono

there is 1 joker im talkin about

heheheheheheh

[olive basin]

No way

[lunar zealot]

ain't that a pokemon

[gloomy vigil]

banana joker might be goated

[lunar zealot]

Banana is great

[acoustic kettle]

It is

[lunar zealot]

gros michel is good and cavendish is amazing

[wintry ice]

snivy evolution line mention

[acoustic kettle]

I mean cola isn't that bad

[lunar zealot]

soda isn't bad

[gloomy vigil]

isnt cavendish that one guy from murphy cartoon or whatever

[acoustic kettle]

It's just cola

[acoustic kettle]

Cavendish is a banana

[gloomy vigil]

that works too

[wintry ice]

cola just seems to have the same issue as anaglyph

it usually just doesn't get used

[lunar zealot]

soda is a 3 dollar double tag

basically the same thing as buying a high priestess

[acoustic kettle]

Taking a handy tag is nice

[wintry ice]

it's a low opportunity cost so

[lunar zealot]

in that you've a good chance to get 0 value from it

But hey if you can get value then it's worth

[gloomy vigil]

ok I got the most op build

all cards are considered face and all face cards are +5 mult

[acoustic kettle]

Well you kinda need a joker slot for cola

[gloomy vigil]

plus banana bc yes

[lunar zealot]

which you will usually have

[acoustic kettle]

The

Is coming

[lunar zealot]

if you're ever actually wanting to buy soda

[gloomy vigil]

am insaneeee

4.5k in one hand

bana is still safe after 4 rounds

[hardy fable]

git planted in ante 5

[serene forge]

I couldn't think of anything else ngl

[gloomy vigil]

lost the banana :(

[wintry ice]

priestess does have the fact that it becomes one of the best tarots in the game if you have constellation

[lunar zealot]

Matador

[wintry ice]

but cola is pretty much the same thing

[gloomy vigil]

I still have an op build tho

[wintry ice]

so

[serene forge]

true actually

[gloomy vigil]

so far I have one handed all matches

[acoustic kettle]

The second banana is even better

[lunar zealot]

Also flower pot is uncommon order

don't get me wrong that shit is ass on any other hand besides straights

[wintry ice]

i'd like matador a lot if it's wording was consistent

[lunar zealot]

But like x3 mult basically for free?

AND bbc value?

Count me the fuck in

[acoustic kettle]

I forgot

Does matador have the compatible text like bp and bs

That might help

[gentle island]

😭

[acoustic kettle]

Tribe

[gloomy vigil]

I did like you said

all my cards are considered face

all face cards get +5 mult

and all face cards have 50% chance togive 2 bucks

and all rerolls get me more mult

[rustic nacelle]

Just pray you don't get the boss that debufgs face cards

[gloomy vigil]

I got a really good joker in the shop

makes it so I can dos straight with 1 rank gap

I gotta get rid of a joker tho

do I get that or the wrathful joker

[sand robin]

What should I get rid of for blueprint?

Or wait?

[lunar zealot]

what's the boss blind

[primal grotto]

supernova looks the most disposable

[lunar zealot]

it does but just be careful

[sand robin]

The tooth

[lunar zealot]

you should be fine to sell nova then

you beat violet vessel and crimson heart

for bell make sure to have the sun ready

acorn is beatable if you play smart

for leaf do math to see what's optimal to sell

probably bloodstone or sock it depends

[primal grotto]

honestly bloodstone kinda sucks without oops all 6s too unreliable imo

[lunar zealot]

bloodstone is unusable with oops

but this is an opportunity to make some use of it

[sand robin]

I been getting lucky with bloodstone tbh

[primal grotto]

just had a crazy win on orange stake checkered deck

[gloomy vigil]

:(

insane debuff

all previously scored cards of the ante are debuffed

[primal grotto]

everyone during the steven universe episode rocknaldo

[sand robin]

Acorn done

[primal grotto]

only played flushes never had to use a high card or pair

[magic tree]

photochad !!

[sand robin]

Is it worth sacking off photo for lucky I’m running a lot of lucky cards atm

[gaunt scaffold]

given i have this right

what would maek most sense

[gaunt scaffold]

i would do that

[sand robin]

I would wait for the voucher tag

[magic tree]

25$ ?

[gaunt scaffold]

id rather go for cat

[sand robin]

Ok

[gaunt scaffold]

why?

[gaunt scaffold]

think it makes most sense since u wanna get rid of chad later on

[primal grotto]

I took it to ante 10 and beat the small blind

[sand robin]

Welp i think Iost lol

Any way to get out of this lol?

[gaunt scaffold]

copy bloodstone?

[sand robin]

Think that might kill me aswell lol

[gloomy vigil]

I have played for 55 minutes

am already addicted

[gaunt scaffold]

welcome to the club :3

[gloomy vigil]

glad I joined

[lunar zealot]

gg go next

[gaunt scaffold]

damn sorry :3

ggs go next tho

[gloomy vigil]

it was that or between the ab+ dlc or isaac

[gaunt scaffold]

yeah haha

balatro goated

[primal grotto]

Yeah I would've advised against taking the lucky cat at ante 9 because it's too late for it to get to a good level

[gaunt scaffold]

i also play on mobile while doing stairmaster

[lunar zealot]

There is zero reason to replace a photograph in this build with a lucky cat

[gaunt scaffold]

damn

[lunar zealot]

lucky cat can work late because it scales fast with retriggers

[gaunt scaffold]

my bad then :3

[lunar zealot]

but lucky cat over photograph is nothing but a misplay fundamentally speaking

given cat is only a single instance of xmult

[primal grotto]

Yeah now sock and buskin doesn't really do anything

[lunar zealot]

it's like canio and campfire in a way

[gaunt scaffold]

uhm

what a seed

uhmmmmmmm

[acoustic kettle]

Free money

[gaunt scaffold]

ante 6 btw

[acoustic kettle]

Plant

[gaunt scaffold]

what

[lunar zealot]

be very careful

[halcyon flame]

Help

[gaunt scaffold]

is there a world where i sell something for dna?

[acoustic kettle]

You don't need a lot of things from the lineup

Smiley for one

Pareidolia

[ornate stump]

actually here is reason

cat

[acoustic kettle]

Swash is pretty useless

But it is foil

But at that point hand levels are enough for your chips

[ornate stump]

remove pareidolia take blueprint ujel

[gaunt scaffold]

should i sell photo for dna

[safe flower]

Do you take the double? Probably not with the manacle

[gaunt scaffold]

id gamle it haha

[ornate stump]

sell perkeo ujel

[lunar zealot]

Play small blind

buy a joker and hex it

skip big blind

[heady narwhal]

just the big blind probably

[lunar zealot]

I said it first

[gaunt scaffold]

id gamble both

[acoustic kettle]

Skip everything and hex a playing card

[gaunt scaffold]

just for fun

[safe flower]

Im giving you credit even though the other guy said it firsr

Thanks

[lunar zealot]

NOOOOOOO

[safe flower]

I love you popcorn

[glossy forge]

Least complicated gold stake run

Pair maxxed to the gills

[junior cave]

Feels good brute forcing Verdant Leaf

[glossy forge]

The run started out with just the foil red card

[acoustic kettle]

The jokers just scream average gold stake run

[glossy forge]

Then the constellation came

And I was spamming blue seals with lucky early trance and cryptid

The majority of the run was the red card and constellation

[lunar zealot]

beats vv

[glossy forge]

Early rental rebate helped a ton

[lunar zealot]

good enough for me

[wintry ice]

is this worth it

[gaunt scaffold]

is this naneinf

compatible

[wintry ice]

i'm just gonna take it for safety

[lunar zealot]

ermm

[last geyser]

Black deck gold stake

I will not stop until I win

[lunar zealot]

you need to find and dupe cryptid

[last geyser]

This might take a while

[lunar zealot]

also you should have been playing on plasma

I doubt you can naneinf this run unless you get 2 more copies of blueprint and then observatory

[wintry ice]

well that works i guess

[lunar zealot]

and even then you might not have enough time

[lunar zealot]

Oh fuck you

[wintry ice]

i think i'll also sell walkie for sly

[lunar zealot]

that's jolly

[wintry ice]

so i don't get overloaded by rentals

[wintry ice]

i keep mixing the two up

[lunar zealot]

Jolly has red lips and 3 bells

[junior cave]

Was confused until you were corrected

[lunar zealot]

play more cryptid

[gaunt scaffold]

my hopes just died

[wintry ice]

should i take that instead

[lunar zealot]

how's your scoring

i would buy riff raff without selling jolly

[wintry ice]

i think 3 two pairs does it

[lunar zealot]

at least for this round and a bit

[wintry ice]

oh i drew my foil

[lunar zealot]

Play pairs for obelisk

[wintry ice]

is this it

can a parking and an egg deal with 2 rentals

[gaunt scaffold]

bro this seed is insane

[stable owl]

Obelisk players need to be studied

[lunar zealot]

Assuming you get temperi

[lunar zealot]

oh yeah put me on a stretcher and examine me

[last geyser]

Which one should I take

Or both?

[lunar zealot]

Look at my beauty

[wintry ice]

lol

[serene forge]

I hate Endless Mode

[wintry ice]

this person plays differently than me, they must be studied

[junior cave]

Yeah, I say take both. Pairs are consistent for Grimbo and Duo is good xmult

[acoustic kettle]

Balatro players must be studied

[last geyser]

Aight thanks

[stable owl]

I have not opened a standard card pack for so long

[junior cave]

Wait no

[stable owl]

The value just isn’t there

[junior cave]

I misread, either works yes

[wintry ice]

this is the exact reason why you should

it's the most consistent source of seals

[dreamy creek]

i love bloodstone

[wintry ice]

and it scales hologram

[junior cave]

I thought you had either Grimbo or Duo, only saw supernova rereading

[lunar zealot]

I guess you could say

you can't read

you're a balatro player

[stable owl]

Seals I didn’t think of, I was focusing on tarots to make kings

[gaunt scaffold]

would u copy death or temperance

[acoustic kettle]

Why kings

[wintry ice]

with your comment about obelisk that was a given

[wintry ice]

denying the possibility of blue seals in a type of run that relies on planet levels

[dreamy creek]

family thinks bro is part of the team

[austere rain]

Taking Hieroglyph on black deck gold stake to feel something frfr

[stable owl]

Got blue seal from spectral

[acoustic kettle]

Spectral is so rare

[stable owl]

I was on ghost

[gaunt scaffold]

death or king? :3

[austere rain]

Standard packs are pretty good too

[junior cave]

What is the state of your deck?

[austere rain]

Money can help you get more of the good kings, unless you already have a red seal steel/poly or whatever you’re going for

[gaunt scaffold]

gold cards are non red seal

[junior cave]

I think you have red steel kings? I can’t tell

[austere rain]

You have plenty of kings already too, use money to try to get 6s and 6th sense and start duping cryptids

[gaunt scaffold]

yes i have

[junior cave]

Death then

[gaunt scaffold]

i have no more 6's

[austere rain]

6s in the standard packs or strength 5s

Cryptid duping is really the only way to push high scores on non-plasma

[wintry ice]

why is the game acting as if i have telescope

[austere rain]

Sometimes that happens

[wintry ice]

all but 1 planet packs have given a mercury this run

[austere rain]

Planet queue just lines up real nice like that sometimes

[wintry ice]

well i'm not gonna be ungrateful

[magic tree]

Do I take baron ? pls

[wintry ice]

chat

do i pivot

[lunar zealot]

Without hesitation

[fervent wolf]

Rip, this was actually funny

[lunar zealot]

that's +70 mult

[stable owl]

Ante 5 pivot lol

[austere rain]

70 mult wins the game

[lunar zealot]

it also fixes any econ issues via the rental

[wintry ice]

now i don't have to pay a rental anymore

[lunar zealot]

yes indeed

I just said that

[wintry ice]

dagger my beloved

[lunar zealot]

I fucking love dagger

[atomic trout]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

[magic tree]

so do I take it or not

[lunar zealot]

better flash card

[stable owl]

I got the knife at like ante 2 and got to 100💀

[lunar zealot]

and it's still uncommon

[austere rain]

Temperance’s are worse but who needs temperance when you have +mult and one of the best scaling xmults

[wintry ice]

ok miss cammy

[austere rain]

This run had a 76 mult dagger or something similar

[magic tree]

.

[lunar zealot]

no worries miss vick

[floral flume]

Jacking it

[lunar zealot]

prolly not

[floral flume]

In jokerless

[magic tree]

okay thx

[acoustic kettle]

Jokerless naneinf

[molten thicket]

did they defeat the boss blind i cant tell

[lunar zealot]

anaglyph moment

[lunar zealot]

#nooticing they only got the money after they already won

[naive heath]

anaglyph is the best deck fr

[stable owl]

Btw can someone explain how stone decks work

I’ve only seen king decks

[molten thicket]

what does that mean

[stable owl]

Idk roffle had a stone deck thumbnail but I didn’t watch it

[naive heath]

high card

[stable owl]

With polychrome on a stone

[molten thicket]

probably just means every card in his deck is stone or sth

[stable owl]

How do you scale tho

[lunar zealot]

eh

stone card decks are not practical long term

You can beat gold stake

but they die ante 12

[naive heath]

burned joker

[acoustic kettle]

If you make the stone glass they can go further

Oh wait

Nvm

[molten thicket]

that...

[latent egret]

any +mult scaler

blue seals

basically the same as usual

[molten thicket]

or just play plasma

[naive heath]

fr

[lunar zealot]

ah chipsmaxxing

i love chipsmaxxing

[marsh goblet]

first high card win on gold stake, pretty fun run

[oblique karma]

:(

[lunar zealot]

i just dont like how it instantly kills me 1/5th of the time

[gaunt scaffold]

i just rerolled

the boss blin d

into the plant

[ionic breach]

What the hell do I do here 😭

[gaunt scaffold]

XDDDD

[molten thicket]

sell the rick

[calm furnace]

[ionic breach]

Poor Yorick 😔

[molten thicket]

[gaunt scaffold]

chat help me

what would roffle do in this situation

hmmm

[acoustic kettle]

Die

[ionic breach]

Play and pray xD

Ante 14, dang

[dense stag]

cooked

[gaunt scaffold]

I just closed the game

It magically dissapears

[stable owl]

Did you reroll boss blind

You must ply around the face card debuff bro…

Reroll or disable it with jokers

[gaunt scaffold]

I rerolled from another boss blind

Into that one

Haha

[stable owl]

💀

What was that blind

[gaunt scaffold]

Play one hand

Could’ve prolly won that one

[slate vale]

Missclicked

[last geyser]

Interesting

[ionic breach]

Defeated by small blind 😭

[stable owl]

Bro on 16

[bitter thorn]

best showman EVER

[marsh goblet]

i feel so sigma

im so good at this game

i think my gold stake winrate is above 50%

[bitter thorn]

damn

[stable owl]

Wish you can do that in irl gambling

[marsh goblet]

lol

man i love this game

i legit have butterflies in my stomach just because i feel so accomplished being able to consistently get gold stake wins

[slate vale]

Would cost alot to pay for gold stakes

[stable owl]

Successfully capped gambling debt to the $10 you pay for this game

[slate vale]

Confusion

[robust lance]

Free gift card

[slate vale]

Credit card

Just

Meh

[robust lance]

Idk why I said gift card

[slate vale]

Temp value ig

[stable owl]

What does the rightmost joker do

[slate vale]

(Normally 1/2)

[heady narwhal]

world's best negative skip

[stable owl]

Can it be abused like the idol

If I only have one suit

[slate vale]

Nuh uh

The dice makes it 2/2

[last geyser]

Black deck gold stake seriously got me stressing

[slate vale]

True

[stable owl]

I’m still on green bruh

[stable owl]

Should I always skip for negative?

Or poly

[slate vale]

Nah
None

No skips :P

[stable owl]

Not even on small blind?

[slate vale]

-# I did it because i made a funnie

[stable owl]

When it barely gives money

[slate vale]

Nuh uh

[slate vale]

Not even red

[stable owl]

Thx for clearing concepts

What do I skip for tho

Or never

[slate vale]

Never

[heady narwhal]

you should never skip for anything unless you'll die otherwise

[slate vale]

Unless you want to do some funny things

[heady narwhal]

or it's an investment tag on ante 1

[slate vale]

Still bad

Skips a shop

[heady narwhal]

not really i don't think

[slate vale]

Ante 1 shop 1 always give joker pack

[heady narwhal]

no matter how many times you skip, the first shop you visit always contains a buffoon pack

[last geyser]

Up to purple stake it wasn’t that bad

[slate vale]

Yeah i know

[stable owl]

I have skill issue

I’m on green for ghost and checkered

[sand lily]

I'm on the last round and I have a basically guaranteed win...should I take loyalty card just to get the gold sticker on it? Or keep turtle bean?

[unreal elbow]

mamma mia

[sand lily]

I wonder if someone who did C++ could suggest that

[tranquil cedar]

this has to be a suck joke

it was going so well

[slate vale]

Why would someone that has done java's opinion would be lesser ?
-# Joking

[sand lily]

I just want to know what is the best strat for getting annoying jokers out of the way

[tranquil cedar]
