will taking the idol affect my scoring? and if so is it positive or negative? really the only way i can get better scoring considering my deck is fully lucky king of hearts with red seals is an ectoplasm right?
Balatro irl
Ok is this powerful
It depends on your current deck
wonāt affect your score, will reduce your max money output if you swap it for anything
i have to say
after playing 3 flushes with the suit of one of the yknow
the chips pass stuntman
without the downside
Should have called him Mr. Chip
k ill just keep sock and wait for an ectoplasm than. thanks!
"here, win"
How
probably because swishbonkler is trash
is animusic the channel that makes music paired with stuff bouncing around like a kugelbahn
Oof
yea
I'm forcing myself to make
107 jokers
for this thing
yeah
first one
itās worth it
peak deserves effort
Give me something worthy to play in solo and multiplayer
i could never

I also thought it would be easier to make something themed after a series I like
But why specifically 107?
joker idea: without people, you're nothing
if hand contains no face cards
x0 mult
Ello
Ok so...
I thought that instead of just making jokers for the JUST the songs, I thought I'd also make Jokers representing the instruments too.
so then I went onto the animusic wiki and then just started picking instruments. I can't really say I had a proper "method" to picking them.
So I ended up with 16 jokers representing two pre-animusic songs, 45 for animusic 1, and 46 for animusic 2
0-0
is this satire?
great joker
this feels like more of a challenge run type of thing
I hate The Idol
i love an idol prepared deck
does rebate only pick ranks you have?
but not ancient
no not for ancient
;-;
ik but trust it's still lowkey the goat
I rarely lose a gold stake run where I get the opportunity to build around ancient
Same here, With NEGATIVE TOO
Yk Iām cooked when I lost with this on a big blind on ante 3
boy do i have the seed to challenge those limits
go nuts
black deck gs
the decision making was 100% not there for random redditor number 19 thousand today
Shoutout to when I hit this 1 in 50625 lucky card trigger
shoutout to this maneuver i did a while back
stop being so negative
STOP being so holographic
holophobic
How would I have discovered 4 things on this run? It was a random high card white stake run
LOL
Also I got a natural negative brainstorm from a judgement this run
i dont really know how the "new discoveries" things works it isnt that transparent
Should I get rid of anything? Or nothing?
Got rid of credit card ?
As in I shouldnāt get rid of anything and move on with my day? And try to win with this deck?
Ye.
Yea probably best
The belovedš
Is it weird that my second gold stake deck completion is erratic deck?
not really. you can do them in any order you wish
i'm just choosing to do all decks in order this time. erratic being my last
abandoned was my last on the first savefile
my last one was red
Red was mine
Baseball card is overrated
i don't care about how it's rated
it is however good and you can't deny that
It is, but how many times do you see it?
Not enough imo
Iād imagine rarely
Given itās a rare card
Iām bored as hell lol
Why does everyone say ghost deck is the best but I find checkered deck going through stakes much easier
Abuse flush with it kinda makes things easier
Checkered is the easiest deck to gold
Yea a lot more Strats work with it
spectral cards can help a lot
plus u can get an early 1.5x for the rest of the game if u get lucky
they both depend on playstyle
Also just had a funny madness joker full eternal run lol
It is easy yes. Anaglyph and painted are also pretty easy
how many times do you ignore it when you do see it
is the better question
Too much
baseballs too good to ignore
Thanks for the free dub HoloCert
better than a majority of jokers yeah
so hello, is it ok to ask for general advice on how to play well in general? like I dont understand how people do builds or how that even is a thing and how to do games that last a while
a rotation of -90 degrees would help this image
gguh what is certigram š£ļø
Got it ante 2 and made it x7
I barely won this game thanks to Mr Bones and lost on ante 9 
yeah ofc
but it does help if you ask more specific questions about gameplay situations
I could have gone further if I got a joker with a multuplier or something
yeah it's okay to ask
generally it comes down to experience. more often than not, not skipping at all in a general sense, unconditional scoring, and econ are three things you like to have in your high stake games.
aka consistency consistency and consistency
Ante 3 of an unseeded run and I've seen ancient, idol, sock, blueprint, and baron. I'm overwhelmed by choice
What does the racer joker do I donāt have that one yet
+250 chips
general questions are usually just time investment of the game
specific questions just come down to context and a picked out scenario
thank you
-2 hand size +250 chips
Doesnāt look so good for lategame tbh
Yep
Certigram doesnāt have the same ring to it
Stuntman can carry you to a win pretty easily but he hems in your options and falls off past ante 8
Can an Ankh Spectral card copy an Eternal card?
yes
You could make up for the small mult with something like tarotmancer ig
Yeah and it won't delete it, but the copy will be eternal as well
for early game rhythm insights, might I recommend balatro university balatro 101 video playlist on how to pilot the first couple of antes without a given joker support or game direction.
for general game pacing in regards to scoring, buying shops, saving money, etc. you can go check out his balatro gold stake lessons where he picks out runs players may struggle and does one of your usual tutorial lessons you do in math class
a 100th of a gram
I tried the game last year, didnāt understand shit, watched a 10 min tutorial last month and got into it right away š
Checkered was probably the easiest time I had winning a deck on gold stake
Just do flush every round lol
me too
I just recently got gold stake on Painted Deck, and it was a lot harder
I just spammed flushes
its practically the most straightforward
Ironically, I did so by completely ignoring Painted Deck's gimmick
black deck was so hard bro
Baron is calling to me but he's not the way
Nebula is hard af
love nebula
I still havenāt beaten it once š
oh you meant the deck
Nebula has the hidden ability to prevent planet packs from showing up
my bad
nebula doesn't exist in any other balatro entity
Maybe they meant the constellation joker?
how do they-
Baron is a trap
baron is often a trap
Hello my precious
Whatās yāalls least favorite boss blind to go against
serpent
I really appreciate how different jokers are good in different contexts. Like what's considered good for gold stake vs endless is quite different
Baron is an endless mode joker, not an ante 8 joker
easy
Violet Vessel
oh you said least fav
The fish
It loves screwing me over at the end of a run where I was barely winning
I really hate the mouth
violet vessel with a lot of xmult jokers
You have to plan forward a lot
Serpent isnāt even a boss
Fav is psychic I always play 5 cards lol
Serpent is an enhancement
Flint
flint is rough sometimes
Psychic is easy in standard play, and only really does anything to builds that rely on a lot of steels
Yeah
I also hate the Club because I always encounter it when the only xmult joker I've seen is seeing double
All the ones that disable a suit are annoying
Yup
Psychic is only bad early and super late
The suit disablers are annoying, but generally not too bad unless you rely on that suit to win
jorking my stencil
early bc it kills half joker and prevents square from scaling
and super late bc of high card
the eye is one of my least favorites because of how it just murders card sharp
Thereās this one time a got the plant the moment I got a good paraedolia build š
I had to sell it almost immediately
nova too
abysmal luck
Flint is just a Ć·4 on some setups, especially early on
flint
on streak runs
That has fkd me over a time or too and made me think acrobat is better for that reason
Same with needle and card sharp
I donāt think Iāve ever lost to needle
Itās not common but it happens
fuck dude, this reminds me why crimson heart is my least fav boss blind. acrobat was disabled on my final hand and I would've won once and I've held a grudge ever since
I also despise the Arm
rip
Oh yeah we don't have negative images of any of the consumables, mostly cuz it's a lot of work to generate them
The Tooth is one I find obnoxious, because it harms you more if you're barely scraping by
heart has disabled my acrobat and bones so many times
It kills your economy, but only if your economy is already doing badly
the arm is horrible if you're incrimentally scaling your planet levels into only one hand
You just gotta get used to it
The tooth can suck a big one too when you face him early and have no money
I thought it wouldnāt affect me when I was broke, but it makes you go into debt
Yeah, its description doesn't say that it stops at $0
@turbid nova that's where wraith clutches up
The Ox can actually give you money if you're deep in debt
real
Though, unless on gold stake, you're unlikely to be in debt by ante 6
I asked somewhere what the hermit does at negative money and someone told me it sets it to 0 too
When I was playing I just learned that it's one where it gives u negative money š„¹
Honestly it would be really funny if it doubled your debt
I was like at -$20
Credit card meta
I hate when that happens
That was so close to beating the ante too
I hate the bell.
W
Iām missing one
Iām tryna get all the jokers too, Iām working towards the 30 clubs and 400 dollars ones
I just got the $400 achievements
Donāt ask me how but by the grace of god I still have blackboard, madness hasnāt killed it and itās been like 10 rounds
I keep buying fodder jokers and it kills those
Money
Money
Peak bio
Iām kinda just down to watch anyone play tbh
I almost got to 400 on a regular run, but I realized itās easier in this challenge run
I love that ācheat codeā
Nah, itās easier when you have oops, lucky cards and Econ jokers
Congrats!!!
that's not true btw, hermit just does nothing when you're in debt
Congrats, which was the hardest one
It's fun when you can take advantage of the game's wording
uhhh, I don't know
I guess the rough gem was the only one I had to look for
Not like Iād use it then thanks anyway
or that took a while to look for
Thereās no way you played four 7 of clubs organically
now gold sticker all
hell no
a 4oak is a 4oak
why
I suck at gold stake even when using good jokers
Gold stake do be hard until youāve won like 100x
do c+
one of my favorite a2 boss blinds
The Arm is deadliest in the mid-game
Early-game, you might not have any hand levels or not be relying on them to score
the only gold stake run I've ever won was a lucky ghost deck shop 1 trousers
Late-game, you probably have so many that losing one isn't a big deal
and also a duo
Yeah exactly
I said that earlier too
its debilitating for pairs via planet scaling specifically
Ante 1 Trousers makes the game so much easier
i originally got the vessel but rerolled not knowing what i was getting myself into 
Especially if you can find Square Joker to go with
i cant send a screenshot but im running photochad with 2 hanging chad and a photo. i just got a blueprint what do i copy
SpongeBob combo ftw!!!!
Great name
ante 1 most hand mult scalers practically
square a1 on black is weird
you're forced to scale it half as often on that deck specifically
compared to others
Yeah
as a temporary maneuver to not fucking die
A lot of my high stakes runs can be attributed to scaling jokers, but Black Deck makes them weaker
Part of the reason it's so bad
Which one is this
š
why are all these randoms being compared to the big J šššššš
going in order
from the collection
Iām voting Wrathful because I got a stake sticker on it
jimbo has the least offensive requirements
Big J is the worst here imo bc at least the others scale a bit better into midgame with retriggers
that's not what scaling means
dont ever diss big j like that heās a good person
should i just like, make the next poll now. i realized it would take me a month to get past round 1
he's also unironically the best pick of the 5
alone?
Judging by the other cards I think his legal name is Joseph J. Joker
this
Ohhhh
His legal name is Gary McCready
triple J
I think I ran into this one and I lost
yeah that's what I said
I think thatās why I donāt have it
š
This one is obnoxious for 5-card hand builds
But it actively makes high card and pair builds stronger
depends on the type but generally yeah
deck digging is essentially halved

I HATE this card
I never get the timing right
This card has saved me a few times
But I'd only say it's "good" when you have boosts to hands per round
legitimatly have never taken this except for discovering it
Bigger fraud than baron

ewwww
I hate Bloodstone
I used my last discard, i did not pull a gay flush š
š
no gay flush no win..
š¢
I kept pulling neptune meow
Actually there only hand i could make was a flush one
why the last 3 rounds i've played on erratic AJ has shown up every time...
in the first 2 antes at that.
I hate Baron
Baron hates you too
Gave me everything i neededš

Never thought of that, damn
Hmmm, save it!
with such a high pair level
Should I replace photograph or brainstorm with hanging Chad or no?
square joker becomes less valuable

And I'm in love with High Card
New no baron mine highscore
Anyone got tips on red deck red stake
Ante 35
Finally beat Golden Needle.
Good luck
Depends on which Stake
I bought the blank voucher but havent seen antimatterš
That challenge is evil
Been bashing my head against it for weeks
Itās red stake
Also peep the $
Did you buy 10 Blanks?
Red Deck, I usually try to find strong hands like Straights at the start. And I personally go for High Card
Yup, I just meant this run specifically it didnt show up when it would've been amazing lol
So many high card
High card is actually good?
For me during White Stakes haha
Purple and beyond I have to go for stronger Hands
And luck

i love poly duos

I got double this on Forza lol
Thats
I have 1600 in gmod
How do yall
How long have u been playing the game for?

Dude thats more than an entire fucking year
I know
Like a few months,years?
Forza Horizon 4 is very fun
Idk when the game came out soo
2017 ish
And since I got the dlc, even more reason to grind Forza
No matter how much i play games my most played is only on 300 hours
that's a long time tho
i had 400 hours in cyberpunk
restart in the pause menu
I might need classes bc I thought that was 6 antes
idk what i did or how i did it but i opened a buffoon pack and got the 2 jokers bugged in my screen
they are covering the hung man
That's insane
Did it let u play em?
i can move them wherever i want lol
The moment of truth
Darn
what is this bug lol
I love lucky cat
Idk, restart game might fix
beep
Boop
i dont really care abt an 8 ball or splash, funny bug ig
Most likely
I'm deadass starting to understand the cards more
HOLY
The elusive negative invisible
Unlucky
Jeez how long have you been playing š
Why do you have illusion
In an endless run
Is it for seal kings or something?
maybe bad voucher luck
Lot of money
Could be for steel kings or planet seals
i just unlocked is, is it just me or is this actually really strong?
Bad voucher luck
It's one of the best jokers in the game
H
Still need to use hanged man or trading card here
good to know, I will look for this in future runs
im dead kinda
started deck cutting too late :\
Rip taco cat
also, question, does this unlock all button mess anything up in terms of achivements?
click it once
it'll tell you
Fun times
you dont get achievhments
Hey honest question, if I get the game on PC can I get my progress that I earned from Mobile? I'm primarily a mobile user for the game
yes, if you unlock everything on a profile you dont get achievements
All rainbows
dont think so
but if I don't do it on my main profile, I can still get achivements on steam and in game there, correct?
they dont sync up but iirc there is a way to get andriod saves on pc
prayge
Restart in the menu screen
yeah its profile dependant
The among us group
Dang that sucks, oh well guess I'm sticking to mobile
the stats page will be blue if you can get achievements
Was it too late to start building flush five?
I might have to after my GamePass runs out on my Xbox
Ooo
Tbh mobile is worth the buy
ye
Yeah
Especially if you don't have WiFi access that much
i was into pairs until ante 8 lmao
That's unlucky, rip
Wait I can play it without WiFi?
I mean it is gold stake so it makes sense
Well, I sometimes use hotspots
Its the strongest joker in the game
glass cards are kinda nuts to no ones surprise
HOLY
Nice
Just make sure to keep them up
I get envious man I cant reach that high of a score š
It's pretty easy
made a doctor for madness :P
Photochad will do it
comes with experience šŖ
Oooooo
This with the eternal challenge is insane
ive never attempted naneinf
brother this is the eternal challenge
If someone made a Breaking Bad mod I'd probably laugh the entire time
I've gotten naneinf 4 times so far
sheesh
This was most recent, happened a week or two ago
good lord
the fuck am i looking at
is that a photochad naneinf?
perkeo moment
It is indeed
what mod is this that changes the jokers look?
i think the ahnk ecto nan infs are far more interesting than like the baron mime runs honestly
its funny how you can naneinf with nearly every flat x mult joker with perkeo
they're both boring
because
"Intentional game design"
it relies on baron mime as well
Sucks you can't do it with cavendish
Ew, don't mention such a trash Joker to me
Omg I should baseball naneinf

all red š¦ glass
no thats orange stake+ , it adds perishable stickers to jokers that disables their abilities after 5 rounds
perisable sticker
its disable their effect
but the stuff like the rental effect will still take effect
and if its uncommon it still works with baseball
Cuz I'm him
That's good?
No, it's trash
Which is why scaling jokers are so good
yeah it doesnt even make the jokers less expensive either which can be really annoying with rares
Ahh
it has very minor usage with food jokers not disappearing while getting gold stickers but thats not really important
but at least it doesnt nerf the sell value so thats good
its a small length of time relatively that you care bout that
What sucks is that you still gotta watch out for bean and popcorn
discord is testing an age verification check
no i stickered those months ago
I know, I'm saying that in general
If you see going for c++
how did you do this
ye but its only 25% of food jokers that you find like 4 times a run
idk

so the vast majority of the time you just dont see that
was able to survive this long due to vagabond
considering i have so many eternals lmao
vagabond my goat, you keep giving me death
I hate Bloodstoen
Does hit the road still takes $3 after debuffed?
yes
the rental still take effect
so if you want to take it, just be sure to have a lot of income
i was able to generate a lot of income
because my kings were foiled multi plus lucky with gold stamp
gotta say, the worst part is not getting the joker you want after rerolling 10 times in shop

i don't think bus should ever lose this
i did not care for ride the bus
I only EVER use Ride the Bus on Abandoned Deck
how is supernova winning here?
it's a good joker even outside of abandoned
basically +1 mult per hand with no downside
just don't play face cards
I'll bring out the big guns
Because it's based (one of 5 jokers with a purple sticker)
supernova doesnt really allow you to pivot to something else

Better than snova
So i ended it

Ride the bus
we prevailed
YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH
lose 1 good face card synergy vs lose instantly to eye and lose the ability to use obelisk
hm i wonder which is better
Why do people like Bus so much? Genuine question
0 downside
and also just being able to switch to like playing 3oak if the trio comes up and stuff
It is a grimbo without downside
fast scaling mult and its downside is barely a downside
because face cards are kinda crap
this makes sense in the context of pair runs
and scoring based face cards don't mesh with mult jokers anyways
where card scoring isn't too prevalent and +mult jokers are all the rage regardless of deck
like you would never touch a photograph with a 10 foot pole if you had green joker
Grim? Like the Spectral?
Green jimbo
good competition but easy blackboard
x3 mult for 0 downside and is uncommon
sorry runner
Thanks
there is never any competition
i mean runner is very good
yeah
runner cannot compete with blackboard
blackboard is cavendish 2
Well runner should be second
I love egg
runner is great and is one of the only scaling chips but blackboard is just free x mult almost allthe time
No one voted for runner
AND IT'S UNCOMMON
š
IT'S AN UNCOMMON JOKER
TRUEE
Requires a fuckton of deck fixing
I hate Bloodstone
just use hex it's not that hard
on everyone's soul we love bbc
real!!
only if you use flushes with it
actual lie
Requires low card hand
if you need deckfixing to make blackboard work you are bad at this game
which already fall off past blue stake
it needs 0 deckfixing
Never played with it
if you can't play blackboard with pairs you should refund this game and find a different one
it's basically free
š
It is very consistent even without deck fixing
x3 mult play a pair and play the cards that aren't spades or clubs
Basically free 3x mult
And it's uncommon
I should experiment with it next time I see it
"this joker needs too much deckfixing"
"how?"
"idk i never used it"
