Or the tooth
Should i buy certificate or no?
Depends if you have base mult without abstract
Sell abstract?
Gatekeeping
I dont rly have much mult base
i only gold stake
Then you might want to keep abstract
Ty
But i’d move my “copy leftmost”
Fellow gold staker
I only have like 6 goldstakes
I play gold stake every so often, not all the time though
Unfortunately for you I am the #1 Pierre hater
Any other c++ players here tho....
i mean ive done it twice
Are u tryna flex or what ya doin
what level is your prefered hand
Working on getting to that point
do you need scary face
I have respect for you
22 club cards
im working on a save of mine getting all jokers to have a sticker that roughly matches their color, like golden ticket and golden to gold and like lusty to red and stuff
Nah
The balatro discord server
sell perkeo to get a negative one :3
Real comedian
:3
I should be in your top 10 jokers
does double showman actually do anything
Im gonna say it, baseball card is pretty average
just like me fr
I never have enough uncommon to make it worth anything
@lunar zealot I summon my back up
it gives u a higher chance to a nat negative blueprint
most of the best jokers in the game are uncommon
No, but I'm pretty sure the second showman has like a 500% higher chance of appearing compared to normal
(/s)
baseball is such a fun joker
TY
getting two of them makes it have 2.25x mult
If I get a bloodstone I'm already getting more mult
which is already more than serviceable
the one use for it
a lot of the rares are too niche to use, but like baseball works with like most of the good x mult jokers
And then we have oops all bloodstone, that's way more than baseball will ever give me
do you have both hand size vouchers?
no ):
wow 7x on a slowly scaling number that dies to multiple bossblinds
me personally I would keep looking for a bp/bs
im gonna die next ante ):
oh its not plasma <.<
this certainly outweights a joker that gives a realistic minimum of an universal 2x mult
I guess maybe perkeo its only really an econ joker
yeah, my friend convinced me to play black deck, im gonna kill him
@finite heron hammers
i'd say you should continue to build up economy unless you need to take mime now
i got hologram
🥰
i think perkeo dies then
Ehhh
Average in the sense that it's not going to hit ceilings like triboulet
it's too late to set up observatory or cryptid
blasphemy
but even with 2 uncommons that's x2.25 mult
with 3 uncommons that's already x3 mult
they did compare it to blood oops
so
If you get the 20$ lucky card hit, vagabond still triggers. I didn't expect that
fundamentally flawed argument
two jerkers vs one
also bloodstone oops are both uncommons lol
very low bar
bites finger cutely
the real synergy here is all three
I'm saving you with shovels
I'm better than bloodstone oops
2 specific uncommons which culminates to boss blind vulnerabilities
it's the wall
there's no hope 😔
why has the wall appeared in every run
where I actually
Have a chance
I bet a baseball card would fix that 🥶
Wifi having an aneurysm 😔
Eat your wifi
2 uncommon jokers
oh this is gonna be miserable
But I need it 😔
tasty
balatrodle in 2
Eating your wifi is like uh sawing off the end of a shotgun makes it spread more
wait
why did i click on that
this is so real
same
oh well i'd have gotten balatrodle in 2 regardless
same 😭
or even 1 since ||the answer is one of the optimal starts||
W
I got onyx agate
balatrodle in 4
i think you should have dragged dna to the left before the round started
Oh no it's the needle
Yummy
💥 💥 💥 💥
||a certain someone will get it in 1||
do i like get rid of anything
Fortune teller is at +19
Trousers is at +32
and hologram is at x2.5
loyalty
trade it out for cert
Ok
having 31 club cards is great and all but
The club
scares me
also the boss blind is further proof that
High contrast
clubs should have been green
I got cerulean bell
What a deck
I hope I can make it
Wow
Got a crazy Lucky Cat
balatrodle in 1 
||oh hey im using that||
slowed and reverbed
sweet
Hooray i got rough gem too
do you need the base mult
Kinda? Idk
if you're playing 4oak/5oak then no a few more planets and that STM is gone
4 of a kind 5 of a kind
shoot the moon
shoot the moon
What ante can i get to with this
probably a few of them
probably 12
shoot the moon and blue don't really matter tbh
Should i have all copy jokers focus on hologram for points
I mean like
Compared to 1 copy focus on Blue
if blue's chips represent a bigger % increase to your scoring than hologram's xmult
but they almost certainly do not
so you copy all holo
copying blue is at best a x2
Whats my best bet to go for more antes
find idol or trib (legendary)
Full house of jokers
An option
For base mult
Idk what my best solution is lol
@fervent wolf what would u do lol
Leave it
You don't have baseball even
So not worth
ok so i have a build going. rocket, bull, chicot, wee, and the one where every remaining card in deck gives +2 chips. plasma. ive pulled a soul card, if i use the soul then i get a perkeo to replace my chicot. not sure what it gets me if i sell the per card deck
i need money so idk
probably sell one, get hermit and use perkeo, right?
i main menu reset after finding out it was a perkeo
$198
upcoming blind is serpent which is fine. ante 7 rn
Can get 4billion right now
should i ankh here
seems like a risky decision but balatro is basically full of basic decisions
if you ankh the todo list you might lose some chips or ez flushes
depends on your main poker hand- flushes or any oak
is this the optimal joker layout
yeah i think so but
wonderful
hehehe
Bombaclart
e25 is very far from e17
I fucking hate this dogshit game.
Anyway, excuse me whilst I play 6 more consecutive hours of Balatro
thats with dna
it scores about e28 with current copies
How many hours y’all have?
FRICK U JIMBO
oh then you're likely gonna make it
200~ 😭
6
I might have the most
i think 150
I have no life
do u shake if you dont play for 2 hours
checks out
i had a dream where jimbo was my dad and we were in a zombie apocalypse
Over 800
Holy shit
bro 😭
photochad at the second shop lmao
WAT
use justice on the 4
if im going for naneinf and i get a natural negative mime, should i still use one ectoplasm for another negative or should i keep the extra 1 hand size
prob screw the pair??
this exact thing happened to me but i had yorick than got canio, if you get york buy a lottery ticket
use ectoplasm
you might be able to nan
maybe
my current setup, just need retcon and anti matter voucher
And burger
well yeah
need to get them to steel too first
how much money should i save?
before start turning to steel
Burger
For my ante 39, I never did steel
oh yeah its worth using ecto
for sure for sure
Not necessarily how much, but when you need the scoring
as much as you can
Pop ecto and look for showman?
The result
dont even need showman
just look for brainstorm
i only have blueprints
Would satellite be better or worse than astronomer for me right now?
chicot is evil
Bp is better than bs
ecto hit baron, my setup looks so cool now
i always know
I needed it unlocked on the file anyway 
ey game is game
replace onyx
So true
I did it! Second naneinf. first try of second time.
I was about to lose to the mouth (have a flush build, but didn't draw any flushes), but I did have a judgement card. Sold a joker, used judgement, judgement gave me luchador. Unbelievable judgement clutch.
this setup looks so fake
did you sell showman for the 5th blueprint right before this screenshot? Or was the most recent one from invis?
i got an invis
nice lol
And ectos for mime and baron? Or negative tags? Or insane luck (I guess that sorta is insane luck for the negative tag hits though)?
natural negative mime and ecto on the baron
what do i look for for my 8th joker? just got anti matter voucher, do i go for dna? or another copy joker
still need retcon voucher tho so kinda nervous that i dont have that yet
Just one thing all the blueprints should be on mime
I put them all on mine after I score to make money
pretty sure this is best setup for scoring tho
doesnt change the math enough to make all on baron better
also I don't have any steels rn
with all red seal it's 2 mime, with all no red seal no steel its 3 mime
i still think its 3 on baron btw
4 on baron is better with no steels all red seals
i was confused cause i was talking about red seals and youre comparing without red seals
yeah
Is that an online calculator?
yeah
What’s the link?
Calculate the score of any Balatro hand
Thanks
I hadn't noticed I had a bunch of Double Tags until my first skip lol
lmao
welcome to anaglyph
I'm doing gold stickers and took a negative skip
and managed to still have my ramen at the end without madness killing it.
Very lucky
+6 stickers.
and ended with 10 jokers
Madness only kills when picking small and big
It won't trigger on boss
So it helps if you are picking for some gold
You should do it before the boss round
Anyway i can taste it, 18 jokers left to gold sticker
The most annoying ones are done beside soda
I know, but I got ramen like 2 blinds before
Does eternal ramen exist
so it was lucky that it killed the other negatives and not ramen
no
yeah
I sold brainstorm just to get stickers on lusty and smiley
Guys what's this planet card I'm missing
I hate Bloodstone
rate my build
9/10, you have me
6/10 not enough Synergy
Getting good progressive ×mult early on is a blessing
×19 mult is wild
And Swashbuckler with +79 mult
I was mega lucky
Yeah, got the duo pretty early and was going for pairs, though had the chance to pivot with baseball so I went for it lol
Baseball Card is awesome
Tyty
For very long time since i last had fun with straight post blue stake
Pretty funny run
is it even really possible to get to ante 39 without perkeo? I'm messing with the calculator and it seems like I need a hand size of about 21 with one free joker slot and 7 baron/mime/copy or about hand size 26 with two free joker slots. this is to get e180 to beat ante 32
Nice neg effect on baseball card
For a moment i thought of the sith lord
Burglar serpent on plasma
man...i've gone an entire day without playing this game and it feels...strangely good
Wat
Enough yap, get back to it!! 2nd save ain't gonna C+ itself!!
Joke
Don't listen to me lol
beating ante 32 is the problem, can't get serpent since it's a boss blind
honestly idk. i'm making changes to my lifestyle that may include deleting all my games
my job market is unfortunately cursed
GUYSBI USED A OUIJIA AND ALL 9S AND I HAVE COILD 9
thoughts on what i shuld play..
unfortunately chad is anti synergistic with vampire. you want chad to trigger lucky card's effects
what's your vampire at rn
You skip
1.1x 💔
Vampire is quite good but it's anti Chad
Should just get rid of it for photo
sell vampire and get the lucky bonus imo
Somehow got this setup to work lol
And then get lucky for that quickly multi and money
alright thank you
and people say they hate throwback.
way to prove the haters wrong
It's throwback
It's good joker with duplic
The antisynergy was strong this run lol
Throwback takes away from HoloCert though
honestly though, throwback would scale less than hologram ye
if you didn't skip at all
plus assuming you find standard packs in at least one shop
cwazy? i was cwazy once
or spectral
anyone got tips on how to play plasma deck on gold stake mid game? I feel like i know how to play early game and late game, but im struggling to figure out how to consistently force a win without very good joker rng mid game.
Fair enough i guess
Get ankh please
i made it to x10 to clear erratic purple stake
i wish man 🙁
now i need to continue orange stake...
I had a build up of skip tags I used on spectral and that really helped boost hologram
i feell like it's because the same pair spam strat you default to on other decks is harder to pull off because of the weird chip to mult transition to have to do
Highest ante I got was 6
so other than insane joker rng or just getting very lucky with blue seals idk how you become consistent on plasma deck
but I paused midrun and so far I am doing pretty ok...
Needle tried REALLY hard to take me out that run too
should i cop
You got a decent money generator?
card and dice
You got zero mult tho

Bloodstone

*common
It’s considered mid? 😭
it's only useful for endless and even then you're better off with baron
one of the worst jonklers in the game
it's unrealistic to set up
bad in base game and mid in endless
which makes it impractical for actually winning
the idol is certainly one of the jokers of all time
I like using it idk
nobody said you can't
actually cool poll time
we're just saying it sucks
it's fun if you can get it going but if you can't why even have it
Wait

Polarizing as has a lot of fans and a lot of haters
all it really takes is 25$ of interest to get to atleast 3x on the last few rounds
Which is y’alls goat
see i thought polarizing as in it polarizes your run from bad to very very good
Rick!
yorick my friend!
My mannnnn
it makes you able to win by doing literally nothing
it’s always chicot
if you're holding a consumable exiting the shop, it copies the consumable
💔
Horse
perkeo can be super powerful when used right
if you have an item in your inventory, once you exit the shop, it will make a copy of that item AND it’s negative (won’t take up a slot)
Sounds like potential man
so if you have a hermit up there, exit shop, you will have 2 hermits now
he has high potential but his floor is pretty good too
1 of which doesn’t take up a slot
if you get bad tarots for him you could still just keep them to filter them away
Catch me with my man yorick and mystic summit we discardmaxxing
This is what high card and pair runs use I assume
speaking of which how rare is it for someone to be able to set up a tarot loop by ante 8 on gold stake
the joker card
To level the hand up quickly
the first joker card
Judgement?
well perkeo works with any hand, any run!
Hopefully I get it when my run isn’t already cooked
LOOLL yea
i'd say perkeo is specially good for flush 5 or 4oak
because of his really good deckdixing power
yes you can get every other tarot card other than judgement emporor and fool and just infinitly use them
NOBODY picking canio btw 😂 😂 😂
that takes a lot of setup still
I hate Bloodstone
actually nah you just get softlocked at like 146
Canio a bum fr 
Bloodstone hates you too
146 is still a lot tho
146 what
@versed path look im already making friends
jokers
i dont think
No
i was just talking about by only using perkeo
which one is the best v2

4
if you get a copy of every tarot other than judgement fool and emporor you can just cycle through them and get a negative version of every joker
you can also tarot loop a bunch of money
it's banned from records due to having literally infinite potential
Me when the emperor generates a fool 
but it still needs too much setup for an ante 8 game
hang on lemme ss my stats
Been playing for like a month
Ha I have a bigger win streak
i spam reset
the only time i dont is when i win a run and like the first shop

the one niche it has is like
scaling pants with obelisk
baron sucks but he still holds a spot in my heart

bl**dstone i only use it with dice on a lucky run
which i dont use lucky that often
lucky cards are passive money generation for no cost
there's no reason to not atleast make a few
i never hit it
Skill issue tbh
well it costs nothing to play them
if that's the case then why do they have a 1 in 5 chance to grant mult
actually 4 dolla dolla cuz of tarot pack
you already buy them above interest quota anyways
mreow!
Lucky cards are ways for youtube chat to call you a hack for relying on rng to win
not if you save up 25$
it delayed the joke

Ah okay
aren't chasers people who want to specifically date trans peoole
idk
probably but this guy hates obelisk so i don't care

lame ass
i like anyone who's femenine
you're lying
i dont like femboys
but you just said you liked femboys
that was a joke pal
idk if i like men romantically but femboys are pretty atleast
very based
whats the joke???
is it funny to like femboys?
whats funny about that?
gyulp
silly joke: i hate campfire
your comment on obelisk was funnier
its ok my friends gay
that is a stupid excuse
No.
yes, it always has been
No.
Maybe
are we serious
I am a rare joker that gives ×1.5 mult for every uncommon joker
you are asking
go airball somewhere else
"are femboys boys"
you're not getting a date here
like
Im asexual pal.
are you
Fellas
Yes
Are you a boy?
yippie~
asexual people can still date tho ?
Why Is He Telling The Truth?
gonna win anyway but whats the best order for the jokers?
oh hornet look its a bl**dstone yell at them now
isn't that aromantic ?
hanging chad, sock, brainstorm in that order
Someone should call a mod to prevent anymore drama
sell bloodstone and photograph
i dont know nor do i care

sure
@lunar zealot omg it's your favorite
sexuality isnt that big of a deal for me
I hate Ectoplasm
is trousers correct here or nah?
i hate obelisk haters
optimal move here is actually to sell all your jokers & close the game
yes
isnt it going to have like zero value for a long time?
???
idk
No?
it's 2 score
trousers scales pretty fastz
per hand
2 per hand
yeah but it's going to take forever to become as strong as sly joker
thats 8 mult in a single round assuming you dont win
trousers is probably the one scaling +mult joker fast enough for plasma
trousers is like a free win ngl this early
mult and chips are two different numbers
on plasma?
it's going to be great as a pivot tool for xmult
still really good on plasma
im only asking because it's on plasma
but i think cuz of xmult torousers is still a good play
i realized this was plasma
i feel like if i dont rng an x mult joker mid game
my suggestion is
don't play plasma its fucking awful literally worst thing ever to be made in a video game
well im trying to figure out how to gold stake streak it
but i cant figure out how to make mid game consistent
i mean i'd take grimbo over hologram at this round
fuck you rngesus

this is the first time i see someone actually die to acorn
it did not give me a face card and that was the whole build lol
bro its rng i swear
mmmmmm ok
maybe if i just somehow get like
the build was poppin ogg
I died to acorn
level 30 uranus
you can drag a joker to the left
you can move your jonkelrs
and it just becomes free
DUDE LOOK AT THE BEST HAND
You shouldn't have died to this boss...
Could have a slow down time speed
Fibp is goated
Fibo is cool, but i like flushes better
one is +8 and works consistently with two pair
the other one is +7 and somewhat locked to flushes
onyx js cool but flushes are Gay
fib is more than usable on flushes but it benefits more from the chips from plasma
in theory this means you like them
Are you saying gay is a bad thing
f**uck youre right
yes
Arent u gay
Haha so funny
Hilarious
You are even funnier than ride the bussy
how would one ride a bussy
dont answer that
@lost vault did you watch helluva boss and hazbin hotel
ts was from earlier but space and oops was poping off
no
my brother made me watch season one of hazbin
but i lost the run cuz crimson heart is bs
i didnt love it
There is a femboy in hazbin
shit hit constelation 3 fucking times
but it wasnt the worst thing ever
Why
i love space oops
He is deep despite his jokes
starts off with a 4s build
gets Perkeo
"Welp, I am now a Kings and Queens build"
errr not Perkeo, Triboulet
alternatively
"yay 10 dollars"
10 dollars
I hate Bloodstone
ten dobbars yay
Hey
Doesn't he look similar to the character you always send
did you not read when i said i watched hazbin season 1
Shelby rides the bus
not really
I did
Skinkina (15/18)
Im asking about how similar he is to the character you always send
You mean you ride the bussy?
Once or twice
😭
yeah the thing i thought would happen happened
tried scaling trousers
didnt rng x mult on time
died ante 6
man i have no idea
how you avoid this wihtout geting lucky
U have square and trousers and u died
i think like 96?
i got it at like ante 3-4 or something
trousers was like
52 i think
this is plasma deck btw
sorry if that wasnt clear
Yea i saw that
Plasma is quite bad
Srry i dont know how u were playing it but the no x mult is unlucky
Its not bad its just not the best deck ever
that's kind of what i mean
im not sure how to force mid game to be consistent
to where you can easily win like 70-80% of the itme or more
well it's liek
My normal math just doesnt math on this deck
early game is easy
Yeah
i just feel like you ened to rng x mult at such a specific interval in time
Later scaling suckass
With chips and + mult u dont rlly need x mult but in some cases its ehh
Even if you have xmult later
Really just depends on minmaxing ngl
but im assuming a really good player knows how to win close to 100% of the time anywuy
and im trying to figure out what they know that i dont
Like u increase your odds so drastically by minmaxing econ tarot cards ect
Sometimes xmult is just about the same as the chips
Truth
Truth nuke
Like the icecream
Sometimes can help you score more than a blackboard on this deck
right but it's like
My math just doesnt math
again it's specifically ante 5-6
like you run into the wall ante 6
you dojnt have stunman or something
how do you win that run 100% the time i dont get it
You need econs
Good econs to highroll
yeah but that can still fail
Success rate on this game isnt very high
Are you talking about drspectre
Good players are better at econ than normal players
Thats how they secure their win
You died most of the time due to bad ecos
i guess
plasma is also more volatile than usual
i over rolled a bit because i was reliant on banner
plasma is so gay
and i over spent a bit because io could imagine too many scenarios where i lose
but it's like
wow skinky loves plasma
it's not even like if i dont go below 25 at all
i win literally 100% of the time
Do you take it or not
that 100% depends on what you need
given that pants is there i think that any xmult joker other than like throwback is a take
If you are unlocky enough you will find no xmult
i feel like it's too hard to force an x mult joker 100% of the time by ante 5-6
I have several seeds like that
especially when i cant even gaurantee i win every blind on ante 5 regardless of draws
because i need banner value
then supplemental chips are just necessary
i had sly joker square and banner
Try the balala seed on gold stake btw
and a perishable odd todd
idunno what that is
i don't play plasma like ever because it feels weird to play so
Gotta learn alot from it
My condolences
Wtm chat ? Too late for perkio to do anything anyways? High score for me
i mean there has to be a way to win like every run on it the same as any deck
i don't need condolences if i'm freeing myself from an uncomfortable experience
maybe not though, but i havent actually had an insanely good player specifically confirm, so i dont have to just assume my observations are accurate without more concrete evidence
you could try using ecto for it
Drspectre do fail runs on stream
if its too late for perks then just skip ig
ghost doesn't get far without perkeo so
damn...so close and yet so far
pants got to 112
but i found 0 xmult the entire run
Actually without xmult
well aside from that one steel card
You can still use steel cards
pants us just crunk
Should have alot of steel cards
1.5*8 is 12
steel cards arent good unless you have blue seals
you could say that
Its good if you play high cards
also yes my fullhouse was level 3
high cards have shit scaling so no not really
My steel build scores consistently 4m
high card on plasma deck gold stake sounds like suicide
unles you get insanely lucky with some setup
yeas
unless u have lik
3 showman
stuntmna
not showman
Which one is more polarising
4
6
2
Obelisk
pairs are already iffy enough that you use two pair for the deck
i'd imagine high cards would be even more terrible
Pair with ice cream or blue joker
i spent the entire run to generate a second sly joker over 6 antes
when i coud've just saved up econ instead
that's not getting past ante 4
You're not scoring shit with these
"steel is so good just get 1 specific joker that dies to boss blinds"
correction: steel is so WEAK! 😂
the reason plasma is kind of less consistent on gold stake is because pair spam isnt as good on it
Steel is strong
depends but yeah usually
it probably is uranus honestly
15/18 = ?
