[glad bronze]

It's not awful

[acoustic kettle]

/ky

Nah

[low tiger]

scaling + mult and 2 xmult

[ancient gyro]

i took a bloodstone for my strush run 👅

[heavy heron]

and how did that go

probably fine because it’s strush and wins without bloodstone

[low tiger]

I’m so sorry for your loss

[acoustic kettle]

Is bloodstone winmore

[torpid jolt]

hear me out

[heavy heron]

no money…………..

[glad bronze]

Bloodstone oops goes crazy

[torpid jolt]

free switch 2 edition/upgrade pack for balatro that just enables mouse controls

[glad bronze]

Wait nvm worse than photochad I GET IT

[ancient gyro]

[glad bronze]

[low tiger]

double polychrome swash isn’t too unreasonable

[glad bronze]

Triple polychrome madness

[acoustic kettle]

I love ghost deck

[glad bronze]

[acoustic kettle]

Free money

[lost vault]

ive done this too

:3

it lowkirkenuinely carried icl

[low tiger]

I’ve ankhd a non eternal madness more times than I’d like to admit

[heavy heron]

niceee

[glad bronze]

Whenever I see eternal madness I don't care about the run anymore and take it

[glad bronze]

This is why I don't winstreak gs

[acoustic kettle]

Well i mean

You think baron is good

No surprises

[glad bronze]

It's not awful

It's underrated but in no way great

[lost vault]

baron is stanky

bad joker

baron shmaron

meet potential joker

[low tiger]

Baron is not underrated

In what world is Baron underrated

[acoustic kettle]

Where is that baron copypasta

Meet Potential Chatter!

'just wait until i get the run i want after holding R 17 times'
'don't tell me facts with statistical basis like obelisk scaling faster than yorick'
'let people have fun (insert slur here)'

007
0 winstreak
0 facts synthesized and internalized
7 hundred baron runs forced (and lost)

listen to constructive criticism? ❌
'it's my opinion so deal with it' ✅

give me liberty
give me fire
give me plasma deck white stake ante 1 perkeo or i retire

"if" and "when" but never is

[lost vault]

baron js quite overrated

[silent quiver]

Baron is not takeable in like 95% of scenarios but i have had like 3 runs where it has saved me

[glad bronze]

In a world where underrated means underrated and not "THIS IS THE GOAT WOOOO"

[lost vault]

insert slur here immediately registered as the f slur in my mind

[acoustic kettle]

Baron is well rated

[distant thunder]

agree

[acoustic kettle]

Surprisingly

[hollow yacht]

ante 2, got $33. would you pick

[low tiger]

that’s literally how a lot of people talk about Baron

[lost vault]

the thing is

people overrate the shit out kf baron

[acoustic kettle]

Only nanlets

[lost vault]

oooh he can score infinity!!

[low tiger]

white stake pilled

[heavy heron]

jesus

[glad bronze]

Who else here is glazing baron rn

[heavy heron]

yall eating them alive

[glad bronze]

This is what I mean

[acoustic kettle]

It is well rated

[heavy heron]

take it down a notch

[lost vault]

well nobody but point js people do

[acoustic kettle]

Rated shit, is shit

[distant thunder]

Eternal trading card is akward beacuse after the deck is fixed it loses value

[glad bronze]

So overhated

[silent quiver]

I like the term nanlet

[low tiger]

most people here are talking about gold stake context

[lost vault]

yummy

[hollow yacht]

exactly what I'm thinking

[ancient gyro]

go to r/balatro

[hollow yacht]

but it saves me a lot of money

[wintry ice]

"baron is underrated" what part of the general community, which is more than just this discord server is underrating it?

[lost vault]

i think "overhated" is a silly concept... just let people hate things :(

[wintry ice]

maybe try not using small sample sizes for your stances

[acoustic kettle]

In this server it is well rated

Out there it is overrated

[glad bronze]

It's a god damn witch hunt I swear

[distant thunder]

I love the concept of it , small econ and deck fixing jocker but i would really not take it since its eternal

[lost vault]

reddit

[heavy heron]

i know LOOLLL

[acoustic kettle]

It's r/balatro

What do they know

They put obelisk in like f tier

[wintry ice]

dissagreeing with you and providing proper arguments against your takes = witchhunting, apparently

[lost vault]

balatro reddit would tell you with a straight face that baron is good for straight builds

[heavy heron]

well… i will say the “white stake pilled” comments were not necessarily constructive

[distant thunder]

please tell me the pun was intented

[low tiger]

how often do you win gold stake runs when you take Baron

[lost vault]

not entirely

[distant thunder]

aw

[glad bronze]

Nor saying "go to r/balatro"

[celest jetty]

I have heard of balatro reddit takes being questionable, but straight baron builds?!

[heavy heron]

yea

[ancient gyro]

tbf my last in depth text wall explanation almost got me banned

[wintry ice]

"go to r/balatro" was stated as an example to check what the actual perception of baron is

[heavy heron]

you send walls of anything and get almost banned it’s funny

[ancient gyro]

they don't want me to explain myself it's a hard life

[wintry ice]

balatro server ban speedrun

[lost vault]

"here, win"

[distant thunder]

LMAO

[ancient gyro]

no not that

[glad bronze]

This is what yall are doing to me 😭

[lost vault]

such a funny post

[ancient gyro]

not you personally, just the idea at hand

[lost vault]

Hiker is

Hiker

[low tiger]

hiker is so much fun but I can never make it work

[ancient gyro]

need what

and who's this we

[lost vault]

but it feels so bad when i lose a run to the needle or the eye for no resson

[glad bronze]

Hiker is a really nice card, I can never work it unfortunately

[ancient gyro]

or if I can't be hand agnostic

[low tiger]

hiker Chad > photochad

[wintry ice]

card sharp is vulnerable to boss blinds which none of the top 10 xmult jokers are

[silent quiver]

Backup glass card

[glad bronze]

This, it's under there

[terse vale]

btw what R those numbers in your name for

[lost vault]

im sorry but one glass card almost never makes up for card sharp failing

[lost vault]

ror2

[gloomy swallow]

Card Sharp isnt bad but its by no means usually viable

[wintry ice]

?

[silent quiver]

Goat

[low tiger]

how is card sharp not usually viable

[terse vale]

I seee

[silent quiver]

What?

[terse vale]

its viable

[acoustic kettle]

Dies to eye

[terse vale]

its like A-

[low tiger]

dies to one boss = not viable

[silent quiver]

Yea it dies to some boss blinds but that doesnt mean u never take it

[karmic totem]

Hi hi

[wintry ice]

it perfectly complements strategies that spam 1 hand

[ancient gyro]

also not many ppl mention about this for carp shark that it requires you to play 2 of the same poker hands in which the rare instance where you're not pivoting off of a non pair build, will have varied inconsistencies

[wintry ice]

which are common in high stakes

[lost vault]

i mean isnt this why most people dont run face card jokers

[wintry ice]

no

[ancient gyro]

how come ppl are talking about it

[lost vault]

true

im just bullshitting

[terse vale]

yeah and it takes one hand to get online

which ISNT BAD

[acoustic kettle]

It's not good to begin with so

[terse vale]

but thats why I say its A-

[wintry ice]

it's more that most of them are either economy or don't carry themselves well past midgamr

[terse vale]

from there its free x3 usually

[ancient gyro]

face card scoring* jokers

[lost vault]

chat we can all agree certificate is the best joker right

[glad bronze]

Just look under there and you'll see

[terse vale]

best

is

a stretch

ITS GREAT THO

[low tiger]

certificate top 1 joker

[wintry ice]

it can be in the top 10

[sinful estuary]

Finally gold stakes'd my first deck. That is so much harder than I was expecting

[lost vault]

nuh uh

[uneven moon]

ive never understood in which scenario i should take the showman, is it good here ?

[ancient gyro]

cert can stay in someone's top 10 :)

[silent quiver]

I gotta get that blue seal

[terse vale]

Tru

[low tiger]

me when i get all red seals from certificate

[acoustic kettle]

Cert but it only hits red seal

😔

[lost vault]

blue seals 🤤
purple seals 🤤

[terse vale]

idk if it beats yorick

[silent quiver]

I foam at the mouth for the blue seal

[glad bronze]

Cert but it never hits red seal

[lost vault]

i beat yorick

[acoustic kettle]

Best cert

[lost vault]

with my hands

[karmic totem]

I don't really post much on this server, but I wanna share this chart

[ancient gyro]

cert but it

[wintry ice]

the one negative is that it gave me a bunch of red seals when i needed a blue seal to scale chips once

[lost vault]

W certificate

[glad bronze]

But you're playing around a specific type of card

[low tiger]

I knew him

[lost vault]

yo, rick, you done messed up

[ancient gyro]

every time it doesn't poop out a blue seal it makes blue seals harder to find (fwp)

[acoustic kettle]

What

[low tiger]

red seal is like the worst seal for beating ante 8

[lost vault]

kid named purple seals

(theyre goated too)

[ancient gyro]

awesome sauce

[glad bronze]

Bloodstone, photo, that stuff

[acoustic kettle]

The ass jokers

Got it

[karmic totem]

Ye. Naked Red Seals need work while the other seals can be used straight from the box

[ancient gyro]

potential man jokers

[wintry ice]

so red seals are joker specific while blue and purple are pretty much universal

[low tiger]

naked red seals 🤤

[acoustic kettle]

DO NOT THE RED SEAL

[turbid nova]

Blue seal goated ☝️

[silent quiver]

I think that alot of the rng in the game is sorely miss represented. At least in terms of like stated number ie 1/4 for 8 ball wheel, 1/15 for lucky card money ect. Ive done alot of testing and ive found strong evidence against these numbers

[lost vault]

naked red seals in YOUR AREA

[wintry ice]

usually red seals do the same as gold seals do

[lost vault]

qhar

[wintry ice]

which is make money through gold and lucky cards

[low tiger]

me when I miss all my bloodstone rolls

[silent quiver]

After alot of time spent tracking the numbers ive determined that every chance in the game comes out to around 50/50

You either get it or u dint

[celest jetty]

Can they get out of my area? I dont want them here right now

[ancient gyro]

gold seals can still technically be profited when duping them with no enhancements

[mortal needle]

Y'all think this is enough for naneinf? ||(!!!SEEDED RUN!!!)||

[lost vault]

naked purple seals in your area

[terse vale]

yea I was gonna say I’m starting to feel like gold seals and red seals are interchangeable when comparing all 4 seals

[low tiger]

I’m trying to play Balatro they’re quite distracting

[acoustic kettle]

Nah

Hold r

[karmic totem]

+3, +3 😉

[lost vault]

no you need more Sauce

[lost vault]

bro getting lusty w/ it

[low tiger]

gold seals at least give you $2

[celest jetty]

I dont want those either, why do the seals not have clothes on

[lost vault]

3

[terse vale]

$3

[low tiger]

you spend one by playing a hand

[lost vault]

naked blue seals in your area

[mortal needle]

Fair enough 👍

[silent quiver]

🤤🤤

[karmic totem]

The entire hand looks like a broken monitor

[low tiger]

why are all the seals naked

[wintry ice]

why do you expect seals to wear clothes? they spend most of their day in the water

[terse vale]

thats kinda if you play it by itself

[lost vault]

:3

[ancient gyro]

except you do that regardless if you have seals or not. pays for rental and has convenient econ timing

[silent quiver]

Hold on lemme count rq

[low tiger]

no serpent restart

[low tiger]

no serpent restart

[terse vale]

lol

[ancient gyro]

(before vaga/rental deduction)

[celest jetty]

I dont want ANY of the clothes-less seals in my area stop

[silent quiver]

Just counted ur short like 200 just restart atp

[mortal needle]

Eh I'll just send it and see what happens

[low tiger]

at least have the decency to put on a speedo or something

[lost vault]

naked gold seals in your area

[mortal needle]

Close enough

[wintry ice]

do i sell burglar or jolly

[karmic totem]

Gold seals ready to go on the first hand

[Visit site]

[wintry ice]

easy game (balatrodle)

[low tiger]

spoilers jeez (I willingly clicked the reveal button)

[lost vault]

No marriage, no romance, all these purple seals want are your DI||SCARDS||

[wintry ice]

anyways i think selling burglar is safer

[terse vale]

idk if you can sell jolly right

[wintry ice]

could i maybe take egg over jolly

pairs are level 7 already

also i forgot to take telescope before the pack

a

[terse vale]

ohhhh

[silent quiver]

U buy telescope right

[wintry ice]

my 2s look solid

[wintry ice]

i'll buy it next round

[silent quiver]

Id say ur prolly good w egg here

[terse vale]

yeah youcan sell it i’d say?

[wintry ice]

i mistakenly took the celestial pack before it

[terse vale]

i’m manifesting a red card

everybody give me your power

[wintry ice]

like what in the world is this

[karmic totem]

+3

[wintry ice]

(it's the average abandoned deck run but shhh)

[terse vale]

ohh abandoned deck

[celest jetty]

[wintry ice]

i might be able to go 4oak later

[terse vale]

I thought the purple seal did that all on it’s own

[terse vale]

makes sense

a bit too late for +1 scalers I think

[ancient gyro]

you got like 3 ranks to work with lol im stupid

[lost vault]

abandoned goat

[wintry ice]

or flush 5 with poly...

do i make this glass

i'd guess so because it's a huge safety net for scoring

[ancient gyro]

sure

[terse vale]

not like there’s a downside if you do

[wintry ice]

needle is also coming up so

[lost vault]

this is all showman does

sell him

[terse vale]

guuuulp

[lost vault]

right now!!

gulp gulp gulp

[distant thunder]

i want funky double stuntman !

blup

[mortal needle]

Looks about right yeah, I think I'm still a little off maybe ||(SEEDED)||

[silent quiver]

His stupid face

[acoustic kettle]

The numbers disappeared

It is naneinf

[wintry ice]

is this just an instant win

[lost vault]

ignored my advice 🙁

(you needed more sauce)

[naive cove]

I wish there was a joker that made the odds of uncommon and rare jokers appearing in shop more likely

[mortal needle]

Oh yeah it is thx

[lost vault]

no fcking way

[ancient gyro]

supposedly

[terse vale]

time to selllllll golden ?

[lost vault]

probs gift card

[wintry ice]

i guess

[acoustic kettle]

No

[lost vault]

its s rental

[acoustic kettle]

I lost with this

[wintry ice]

...

[acoustic kettle]

Generational throw

[terse vale]

I think either one is fine

[wintry ice]

as if my win wasn't secure enough already

[low tiger]

blast off is such an annoying challenge

[wintry ice]

i just need use use rebate as a shield for the xmult

[distant thunder]

hehe showman gave me double stuntman

[low tiger]

I beat joker less and golden needle before blast off

[ancient gyro]

the pivot of all time

[wintry ice]

what is balatro

[acoustic kettle]

Ask thunk

[wintry ice]

man this game is silly

are we dead serious

[silent quiver]

Unnecessary

[wary crypt]

Blue stake beaten

[wintry ice]

i guess i could sell c2 now

[silent quiver]

Odds r already fine

[low tiger]

is jolly joker the best of its “family”

[silent quiver]

50/50

[wintry ice]

i'd give it to sly

[low tiger]

Oh sly is good

[wintry ice]

i'll be sacrificing red seals for this but it'll be worth it

[ancient gyro]

hehehehaw

[naive cove]

I just don't like spending entire white stake runs trying to find a baron over and over so I can go into a deep endless run.

[low tiger]

yeah endless is not very fun most of the time

the game was designed around ante 8

[wintry ice]

clash royale be like heheheha grr

[naive cove]

sometimes I just wanna get big number to go brrrrrap for a little while

[low tiger]

Yeah

[wintry ice]

in other news 4oak pivot is an opportunity

[low tiger]

Balatro asmr

[naive cove]

I just got done doing completionist+ so I wanna mix it up a little

[ancient gyro]

ragebait before it was cool

[final garden]

is this a good time to pivot for obelisk

[ancient gyro]

sure

[lost vault]

mmm

[acoustic kettle]

Goof

[lost vault]

maybe

[acoustic kettle]

It's overkill already

[wintry ice]

could this be the biggest satellite of all time

[low tiger]

0/10 obelisk pivot

just find baron

[ancient gyro]

op

[wintry ice]

what are your jokers

[celest jetty]

Nah, find the 5 legendary jokers in back to back tarot packs

[final garden]

raised fist polychrome mystic summit scary face cloud 9

[low tiger]

Can showman give you multiple soul cards

[ancient gyro]

mhm

[wintry ice]

i question how you're alive

[lost vault]

yes its just absurdly rare

[low tiger]

yeah I was just wondering

[wintry ice]

though maybe i'm too scaling joker pilled

[ancient gyro]

you can live with that

[wintry ice]

this is the third midas this seed

[low tiger]

Ante 4 that’s enough

[wintry ice]

like

bruh

[low tiger]

Midas on abandoned

[wintry ice]

the glass broke first try

oh and i can just win now

funny

[terse vale]

they’re saying its the easiest seed of all time

[low tiger]

holy

[celest jetty]

skip, both jokers aren't worth it

better to gamble for baron shoot the moon mime build

[low tiger]

[wintry ice]

i'm wondering if i'll be able to replace dagger with blackboard later

[naive cove]

abandoned deck is so busted

[wintry ice]

well

[ancient gyro]

depends on base chips/mult

[wintry ice]

close enough

[ancient gyro]

oh

[digital star]

9999/10000

[naive cove]

I hear Toby Fox is going to release Bandoned deck in 1.1. It's just the 12 face cards.

[pale wolf]

i lost a run :( inconcievable

[digital star]

L

[ancient gyro]

no the win streak

[low tiger]

is there like a definitive strategy for doing win streak on gold stake or do you just have to be good

[wintry ice]

a pair with no acrobat scores this much

wtf

[ancient gyro]

gguh

[pale wolf]

its okay

next run is blue deck eternal certificate

so ill proly get hologram right

[wintry ice]

well atleast i know i can hyper greed

[ancient gyro]

no

[wintry ice]

i don't think i should have taken telescope

[pale wolf]

tough choice

[low tiger]

what if cert adds a 9

[naive cove]

I mean, the 9 can be scaled up

[ancient gyro]

you asked for cert synergy

[pale wolf]

i also got a holographic banner in the shop so like

perishable banana :O

lets see

[atomic trout]

aaaaaaaaaaaaargh

Negative banana

[pale wolf]

retcon ante 3

[wicked ether]

holy

[wintry ice]

well then

[pale wolf]

i mean genuinely i could just win with that

[wintry ice]

that was silly

[pale wolf]

This is the imaginary scenario every swashbuckler defender uses

[midnight talon]

i was in a legendary run with the checkerd deck to lose to the eye T-T

[terse vale]

that was fast

gg

[wintry lynx]

GG EZ

[wintry ice]

guess i'm getting a 4 win streak again

[ancient gyro]

[wintry lynx]

blue clubs look so much nicer than the other color

[pale wolf]

yes

[unreal topaz]

the purple seal value

goes crazy

[wintry ice]

i got greedy with runner in ante 2 again

[unreal topaz]

many such cases

[pale wolf]

needle on a pair build 😎

[royal bobcat]

Needle on a card sharp build

[pale wolf]

uh why does supernova suck?? swashbucker is at 35 and supernova is only at 15 for one hand???

hello fix ur tier lists

[unreal topaz]

localthunk pls fix

[wild merlin]

if i do a seeded run do i still get the achievement?

[royal bobcat]

I fucking hate supernova

I'll never use it

[pale wolf]

no, it says this when you select seeded

[wild merlin]

AASJHGHAWHEGAHDGGHAW

how many seeds are there?

[pale wolf]

a lot

[low tiger]

as many stars in the sky

[lost vault]

false!

[turbid nova]

[lost vault]

glass just feels like a higher probability because you play more glass cards than you use wheels

but its rhe same chance internally

[low tiger]

do Balatro players play more glass cards than spin more wheels on average

[wintry ice]

probably

[royal bobcat]

I think we should ban the string of characters "1/4" to avoid wheel odds discussions forever

[pale wolf]

the game says 1 in 4

[royal bobcat]

Ban "one in four", "1 in 4", 1 out of 4", "one out of four" as well

Really cover all possible iterations of the phrase

And make it be GONE

[low tiger]

I just think the idea that local thunk would lie about a probability for no reason is really funny

[royal bobcat]

No I think the average player- ah actually it depends if they do trib endless or not

But I feel like the average player only does baron endless

[wintry ice]

14

[royal bobcat]

So I think the average player uses wayyyyy more wheels than glass cards

Which is a shame, really

[low tiger]

Wheel is basically the tarot you use when there’s nothing good

[royal bobcat]

Yeah wheel is what I use when there's nothing else

I'd use hiero before wheel

Well, hiero is a good tarot

So the example is not great

But I'd use empress before wheel

[wintry ice]

wheel is only better than the suit changers and lovers

[royal bobcat]

Unless you're lovers, sun, moon, stars or world I'm not using wheel

[pale wolf]

found you

[wintry ice]

and like

[wintry ice]

calling it better than the dark suit changers is debatable

[pale wolf]

time to get yoinked

[stable owl]

didn't trim my deck at all and just balled with it lol
regret the corrosion

[royal bobcat]

I mean arrowhead and agate are really strong but being uncommons you won't see them that much idt

[low tiger]

blackboard

[royal bobcat]

Aight yeah

[wintry ice]

it's mainly for blackboard, yeah

[past mica]

Okay hi guys 👋👋 so basically I keep seeing lots of balatro stuff and my friend keeps telling me to get it and I like yhe look of the game and all but am a bit conflicted wether to buy it on my phone or steam or Xbox

[wintry ice]

and i guess c2 aswell

[royal bobcat]

I may have forgotten about blackboard

[low tiger]

if you want to ruin your life phone

[weak seal]

25%
a quarter of the time
once every four uses/every fourth use-

[past mica]

Im barely ever on my Xbox or PC anymore though

And i hate making decisions for myself

Jokes but

[royal bobcat]

Phone might be better if you plan on playing the game a bit here and there.
Pc is fine but console requires real dedication lol

[dapper lagoon]

Got my highest score after a couple weeks on the game

[past mica]

Okay that works for me then

[dapper lagoon]

And watching lots of roffle

[past mica]

My phone battery life is dying anyeah

[low tiger]

Phone is pretty good

All the ports are good

[royal bobcat]

Like Balatro on console means that you have to do quite a bit of effort to start playing balatro

[past mica]

I was just wondering if there's any big issues eith the mobile one

[low tiger]

No

[royal bobcat]

An amount of effort that will make me not play the game

[low tiger]

Stone cards can be weird I think

[royal bobcat]

Nope

[weak relic]

I forgor to buy a dummy joker

[royal bobcat]

I'd play Balatro more if I had it on phone

Shit I'd actually have something to do

When bored

[past mica]

Well im probably gonna have way more time on a bus in a year or so

[weak relic]

Silly me

[past mica]

Might just be perfect

[royal bobcat]

Phone is the most handy but pc is the most comfortable

Is what I'd say

[weak relic]

[past mica]

If only my PC was comfortable

Its so old 😔

[royal bobcat]

Maybe not laptops? My fingies hurt from using the touch pad

Peak when on mouse tho

[past mica]

No its a PC its just so slow I cant be bothered to use it anymore

[pale wolf]

PURPLE JOKEKRER

wait no its groker but evil

[past mica]

Okay Im lretty sure ill just get the mobile one and then just see what im feeling from there

[wintry ice]

william afton

i wonder if i can get 87 mult on fortune teller

[pale wolf]

yes

just use 87 tarot cards

[atomic trout]

Nebula Deck is weird

[low tiger]

Emperor -> fool -> emperor 87 times

[atomic trout]

Even the Mime failed me

Damn you, MARK

[calm furnace]

he lies about 8ball im pretty sure

[low tiger]

8 ball my goat

[turbid nova]

Took me forever to even beat ante 8

[pale wolf]

idk if thats my biggest c9

[wintry ice]

i got a deck full of 9s on abandoned once

[pale wolf]

woah

[atomic trout]

That one less Consumable hurts

[turbid nova]

Yeah

[peak plinth]

My fault for going for the spade flush ig💔💔💔💔

[low tiger]

Balatro card draw when you want to play any hand that’s not a pair:

[peak plinth]

My holographic golden joker carried me enough thankfully

[oak elbow]

I just beat this at school, yellow deck red stake

Hologram might be the best card

[serene forge]

JUDGMENT GAVE ME A MIME HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[oak elbow]

Luck unimaginable to the likes of me

[nova elk]

What cards I should put hex on when starting with ghost deck?

[latent egret]

your first joker if you see it as eternal

[nova elk]

Eternal means?

[wintry ice]

you can put it on a page 1 joker if you need to buy one

[latent egret]

you are going to have it until you lose

[oak elbow]

Can any joker be eternal?

Or just important and non perishable ones

[nova elk]

Does it choose randomly which jokers stays?

[wintry ice]

any outside of the food jokers

[serene forge]

put it on the first joker you take usually

preferably something you intend to keep for a while

if you get a food joker then consider either selling or waiting for a different joker

[serene forge]

anything that isn't a food joker

egg can be eternal though

[oak elbow]

Okay thank you

[nova elk]

Is supernova a good one to put it on?

[serene forge]

yes

one of the better ones for sure

[low tiger]

one of the best

[oak elbow]

Interesting name I should say

[serene forge]

starting with poly scaling mult

[rugged bloom]

the jokes write themselves

[low tiger]

sock for the dagger value

[rugged bloom]

i took chad and found vagabussy for dagger value

[wary crypt]

Who needed acrobat anyways? (Sold it on ante 6 and almost lost 🥲)

[low tiger]

Vagabond my goat 😔

[calm furnace]

time to die yorick you ugly overrated fock

[low tiger]

I’ve never seen a polychrome matador woah

[sinful estuary]

Can someone help me walk through where to put the blueprint/photochad setup? Got a pair build at lvl 15, with a mix of lucky and mult facecards. I'm assuming it should be hanging chad blueprint photochad?

[unreal vine]

Rate build people

[wary crypt]

I love matador lol

[low tiger]

Yes you have it right

[wintry ice]

free win/10

[low tiger]

Matador would be such a fun joker if it triggered on more than 2 boss blinds

[unreal vine]

Fr free gold stake run

80k chill so scaling is just free

[low tiger]

I won a gold stake run with shop 1 matador and triggered it 0 times

[wintry ice]

i'd like matador if it's function was consistent

[tidal valley]

Pick 2 spectral cards to permanently remove, what are they?

[low tiger]

Hopefully it gets changed in the update

[low tiger]

Oujia and the aces one

[wintry ice]

sigil and ouija

[tidal valley]

I would probably pick the aces and numbered cards ones

[wintry ice]

grim sets up 3oak easily and helps hologram

sigil is kind of just a placebo effect

[tidal valley]

because both just mud up your deck

[low tiger]

Grim is fine but it’s just a worse familiar

Ouija is just ass

[wintry ice]

it's more deterministic with it's rank than familiar is

[low tiger]

Oh yeah that’s true

[wintry ice]

oiuja is detrimental outside of ante 1-3 painted deck and sigil is just a nothing spectral

like i'd take it if i have a bunch of hearts and diamonds in hand and nothing else in the pack helps

[low tiger]

I mean usually the only reason I use them is for holo scaling

[calm furnace]

SELLING YORICK FELT SO GOOOOD

Ouija has some nutty scenarios

Serpant with Ouija in hand and ability to spare hands

can turn almost half your deck into one rank

[low tiger]

It has niche scenarios but like

How often is that gonna happen

[calm furnace]

on painted deck i take ouija idk

[low tiger]

On painted deck it’s different yeah

[wintry ice]

wouldn't you have direction by the time that serpent can appear

[calm furnace]

its a pivot in that case

i never had the serpant into ouija but one time i was playing 3oak

and when i do 3oak and open a planet card and find no venus i take mars

at ante 6 i found ouija and did a mars pivot

its a niche card and doesnt help with the pair lobotomy

[low tiger]

pair lobotomy?

[calm furnace]

the gold stake meta

[low tiger]

oh yeah

[sullen torrent]

BALATRO

[wintry ice]

it's when you take a scaling joker and just spam pairs for the rest of the game

[lost vault]

this game has a sick sense of humor

[low tiger]

that’s what I do 😭

[calm furnace]

man i really dont like yorick that much

[cosmic sun]

I would cope with standard packs for this ngl

[calm furnace]

even with shortcut yorick almost killed my last run

[wintry ice]

yorick is a bit too strong

that's why i dislike him

[lost vault]

i do have one purple seal king

[calm furnace]

strong yes but also annoying if you playing sensetive hands

[low tiger]

yorick is the best legendary for clearing gold stake imo

[calm furnace]

you dont always wanna discard

[wintry ice]

you could just discard 1 less card

[cosmic sun]

I got grimbo yorick and then ended up finding red card

the grimbo was at +1 the entire game

[wintry ice]

it still has faster scaling than madness anyways

[calm furnace]

yeah but in my case i already had banana and photochad, trying to scale yorick would do nothing

[cosmic sun]

Mind you I found Holo too

[lost vault]

im still taking mime tho

[cosmic sun]

Sometimes Balatro just gifts you the free-est win of all

Also a random marble joker

[calm furnace]

ante 1 red card or runner is basically the game sitting a handicap

[low tiger]

red card ghost deck 🤤

[calm furnace]

red card anaglpyh

trust me

[low tiger]

ghost deck is my favorite

[calm furnace]

skip into the coupon tag

[wintry ice]

i should take spectral skips more on anaglyph

[calm furnace]

by far. if painted and ghost didnt exist i wouldnt be playing much balatro

[low tiger]

yellow is a close second

[unborn cliff]

4 eternal polychrome blackboards + perkeo

[calm furnace]

as a skiping advocate and an analgpyh enjoyer i advise against it

[opal pebble]

Ghost is the only deck that brings me joy

[calm furnace]

handy + investment = almost always worth skipping for
planet pack skips if you have constellation
card pack skips if you have hologram

[calm furnace]

it got the f r e a k

no other deck would let me get 3 rental eternal madness jokers and live

[opal pebble]

Plasma is also a fun one, at least when i get stuntman

[tacit quail]

hello my balatroheads

[low tiger]

I thought plasma would be way more fun before I started playing it

but it just kind of annoys me

[tacit quail]

the game keeps giving me scary face first shop so i keep pressing r

i dont want it

[low tiger]

jumpscare

[calm furnace]

i would rather play black deck over plasma ngl

[unborn cliff]

dude did you download a horror mod or something

[calm furnace]

whats wrong with scary face

[unborn cliff]

sounds terrifying

[tacit quail]

i dont want it i hate face builds now

[opal pebble]

I was so hyped when i finally got it then realized it falls off so hard if you can’t get the right setup

[unborn cliff]

"grrr!!! a decent chip joker!"

<@&1133519078540185692>

[tacit quail]

i dont like face cards now

[low tiger]

I watched too many endless runs

[tacit quail]

all my runs are groker rtb burnt slop

[unborn cliff]

me after getting planted one time

[calm furnace]

get jacks pilled

[craggy hearth]

Bum

[calm furnace]

always make jacks and nines

[unborn cliff]

moderator prime over here

[low tiger]

hit the road synergy

[tacit quail]

gonna carry this mf debuffed to the end for the sticker

[unborn cliff]

how it feels to limit your run and probably die

[tacit quail]

i need the sticker i dont care

[unborn cliff]

you cant get the sticker if you die

[opal pebble]

I just watched roffle’s pair build and i’m kinda intrigued to try a pair build now

[tacit quail]

im not playing for win streak im playing for get lucky asf and sticker

[low tiger]

pair builds are so busted

[opal pebble]

Pairs on plasma seems pretty dang busted

[tacit quail]

run might be on idk

[versed dew]

I finally got to golden stake! Its on checkered deck but i am proud of myself

[low tiger]

you won

[unborn cliff]

here win

[tacit quail]

[calm furnace]

you got this

[tacit quail]

im on -2 maybe not

[calm furnace]

with grimbo being rental just chill on scaling hologram until you get your money fixed

[tacit quail]

yeh i wont be doing holo yet

[unborn cliff]

roffle: time for another chill gold stake run
drspectred endless runs for some reason:

[tacit quail]

Credit Card in the Shop

[low tiger]

is it bait

[tacit quail]

could get me out of debt if i get a good econ or smth

[unborn cliff]

take it then buy the voucher

💯

[tacit quail]

truth

[calm furnace]

next boss is the ox

easy

[unborn cliff]

what if discount vouchers made the rental fee be less

[tacit quail]

i didnt because im scared of -11

[unborn cliff]

investment tag next ante

[low tiger]

wait till you hear about -12

[calm furnace]

so -2 then -1$?

[hybrid tendon]

that's funny

[unborn cliff]

yeah

[calm furnace]

rentals are already kinda chip at 3$

but anything that makes my fav mechanic in the game stronger is a W so i take it

[unborn cliff]

update idea: remove perishables

[calm furnace]

my man 🤝

[low tiger]

update idea everyone wins

[tacit quail]

run died i scaled wee with a high card at the start and died

[calm furnace]

nothing in this game i hate more than perishables

shit ass mechanic

[unborn cliff]

update idea add a button that sends you to ante 39

[low tiger]

perishable banana is funny

race to see what happens first

[tacit quail]

2 skips ones pretty good 1 kinda bad i will take 1 in 2

[unborn cliff]

"oh hey a [good joker]!"
the evil and malicious perishable tag:

[calm furnace]

perishable food jokers god damn i hate them

[turbid shell]

Who agrees that groker is really only good with burglar

[calm furnace]

its so jank seeing perishble tag on something perisheble by nature

[unborn cliff]

groker is good all the time

[calm furnace]

its good without burger

[unborn cliff]

perishable turtle bean

[turbid shell]

I despise groker

[unborn cliff]

perishable popcorn

[quaint harness]

LETS GOOOOO BLACK DECK DEFEATED

[calm furnace]

and popcorn

[unborn cliff]

[peak plinth]

Wanted to find a negative tag before winnig😔

[sinful estuary]

Does magic trick voucher also include seals on cards? Or is it just plain playing cards?

[peak plinth]

Plain cards

[naive heath]

should i sacrifice triboulet

[turbid shell]

I think you have to get illusion for that

[unborn cliff]

"I despise groker"
🤖TRANSLATING🔁
"I love losing runs and I have not beaten ante 6"

[unborn cliff]

magic trick nor illusion give seals

[tacit quail]

unsure but i prolly win these at some point

[turbid shell]

Dude I just hate groker. I discard too much for it. I don't exclusively play pairs

[unborn cliff]

eternal baron with trib

[unborn cliff]

then dont discard its pretty simple

"Dude I just hate groker. I discard too much for it. I don't exclusively play pairs"
🤖TRANSLATING🔁
"I love losing runs and I have not beaten ante 6"

[tacit quail]

discards dont give u shit if u were winning in one hand its basically 1$ per mult

its worth

[turbid shell]

Explain. If I mostly run full house/straight, then I need to discard

[tacit quail]

run other things

green joker lets u run anything

[unborn cliff]

full house is the worst hand in the game

literally just play pairs

[wild merlin]

do challenge runs give me unlocks?

[turbid shell]

I do sometimes like I just won off of a 5oak deck of 10s

[ivory portal]

Wowww

[wild merlin]

damn

[ivory portal]

Glass cards r really good

[wild merlin]

gg

[low tiger]

more challenge decks

[ivory portal]

Gg

[wild merlin]

dammit

[unborn cliff]

running other hands doesnt give you a reason to hate groker

[tacit quail]

the 10s glitch seed just does not count for this convo

[unborn cliff]

you just arent playing towards him

[wild merlin]

i wanted eris to join my collection

[unborn cliff]

you would love groker if you did GOOD RELIABLE pair buils

[low tiger]

Oh it might idk

[turbid shell]

Again, I discard too much. Especially when I can only find groker early game

[turbid shell]

Pairs are boring.

[low tiger]

pairs are kinda boring

[unborn cliff]

groker is best early game

[unborn cliff]

winning is fun

[low tiger]

yeah but just like playing a million pair builds gets old

[turbid shell]

Not when it's boring to win

[unborn cliff]

a boring win is better than a boring loss

[turbid shell]

That's why I play harder builds

To make the win feel more rewarding

[turbid nova]

Rate the setup

[lost vault]

why must i get the most goated runs known to man when im playing low stakes

[turbid shell]

Honestly I'd rather lose with a fun build than win with a boring one

[unborn cliff]

doesnt give you a reason to hate groker

[opal pebble]

I’m gonna sound dumb (i am) but what makes full house so bad

[cloud sinew]

cope

"i play worse so that it feels better to win"

[lost vault]

i took this screenshot because six seven please laugh

[unborn cliff]

hard to hit and doesnt have rewarding scaling

[turbid shell]

Yes it does, harder builds =more discards

[unborn cliff]

i hate this joker because i actively play against it

[twin rune]

Yeah I too mourn the lack of viable build diversity on account of blue stake but I don't go shunning one of the most reliable scaling +mult options out of a refusal to play around the constrictions of high stakes

[turbid nova]

So did I @lost vault no one noticed the world is healing

[lost vault]

<3

[unborn cliff]

intelligent new server member ❤️❤️

[low tiger]

every hand should be viable for gold stake

[turbid shell]

Honestly ur trying to sound like I'm stupid, but your totally right. I don't play that way. Have fun with your million pair runs. Now I'm gonna try a flush run

[turbid nova]

“Hard to hit”
Extremely loud incorrect buzzer

[unborn cliff]

see you on ante 6 when you die to the boss that counters you

[turbid nova]

Full house goat

[turbid shell]

Thank you

[unborn cliff]

two pair mogs full house

[turbid shell]

Most of my wins have been full house btw

[unborn cliff]

all 8 of them 🥹❤️

[low tiger]

you can win without pair

[turbid nova]

I like it becaue the number is higher

Higher number = higher dopamine hit

[unborn cliff]

hmm....... you pass

[cloud sinew]

one run is not enough to prove someone wrong dawg

ive won at least twice with every joker

[twin rune]

I have been forced to play full house on gold stake exactly once because of some nasty planet RNG and it was a miserable and terrifying time, can't imagine opting into it

[cloud sinew]

ergo there are no bad jokers!

[opal pebble]

Straight Flush is the best build tho tbh (i’m coping)

[tacit quail]

Diet Cola sitting there on the 4 joker build at ante 8 twice:

[unborn cliff]

anecdotal evidence save me anectodal evidence

[low tiger]

balatro discord members will tell you to stop having fun to play the game slightly more optimally

[unreal vine]

People how many chips do I need if orange stake? I don't remember

Final ante

[unborn cliff]

i dont care if he doesnt p[lay pairs

[shell dagger]

400k points

or 1.2m if vessel

[tacit quail]

full houses fuckin suc k

[unreal vine]

As gold?

[unborn cliff]

he hates green joker (top 3 scaling +mult) because he actively plays against it

that i do not like

[shell dagger]

purple is the last stake that increases the blind requirement

[silent quiver]

Grey seals when

[unreal vine]

Ah okey thks

[unborn cliff]

top 2 even

[turbid nova]

Don’t mess with us Fullhouse enjoyers

We can’t make it past ante 11

[tacit quail]

you cant play against it if you have hands and discards you will ALWAYS gain something from it

Seizure bomb

[unborn cliff]

this joker is bad because it counters my build

[tacit quail]

Why bro

[unborn cliff]

flash

[safe venture]

John flush

[lost vault]

i made my mime gay

[low tiger]

John flush

[unborn cliff]

she is mocking you.

[safe venture]

Mime has always been gay to me

I don't know

[calm furnace]

i love shortcut so much 😩

[unborn cliff]

kid named shortcut

[tacit quail]

rip the run

[safe venture]

Why would you play straights when FLUSHES exist 👀

[lost vault]

i have gotten like 4 successful wheels this run y'all tripping when you say its not 1 in 4

[sleek valley]

Could have taken a nat negative invis and broken the Joker count. Chose not to.

[opal pebble]

What about straight flushes

[safe venture]

Seance my beloved

[tacit quail]

Poly Groker from the double skip a1 ALWAYS double skip

[nova elk]

Jokers seems solid to me

[unborn cliff]

straight scaling vs flush scaling

[calm furnace]

because i can play straight flush 🙂‍↔️

[torpid bridge]

Green joker is shit

[low tiger]

flushes having the same chips as pairs is insane

[safe venture]

Not if you're playing pairs

[quick solar]

THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

[calm furnace]

bait

[unborn cliff]

whats your opinion on obelisk

[unborn cliff]

i like this run

[torpid bridge]

Even if i play pair its still shit

[torpid bridge]

Goated

[safe venture]

Ew id*l

[terse vale]

[torpid bridge]

3chad is not that good

[crimson hinge]

I think yes, never had it hit a single good joker

[torpid bridge]

2 chad and 2 photo better

[torpid bridge]

I meant that mathematically

Not ragebait

Lmao

[calm furnace]

i rather have 3 chads for econ

[torpid bridge]

Do some calculations

[unborn cliff]

did you consider that triple chad is really funny

[torpid bridge]

I dont see any fun with it

[quick solar]

whatever u say buddy

[opal pebble]

It’ll hit chad again trust

[torpid bridge]

Its just 3 chads

[low tiger]

my bad I should’ve summoned in a photo instead

[unborn cliff]

the humble open joker slo

t

(bean)

[torpid bridge]

Why u need econ anymore when its a sure win

[unborn cliff]

econ is good all the time

[torpid bridge]

Econ is for winning

[unborn cliff]

they have 2 open joker slots

more jokers.

[low tiger]

ASDFHJKBLASDFSADFUIBOASD
