yeah that wud do it lol
or if you enhance it in anyway
my ride the bus is currently at +2 scaled
-# nor your advice for that matter
And that's why I decided to play with an ace and not with a k or another number
start scaling
hmmmm
whats that one where u discard face cards ti get mult
canio? also destroy, not discard
discard is yorick, be he doesnt care about card type
i see
i mean kinda? you play hands w non-face cards to get mult
yeah it is destory can confirm as someone who got canio from soul
the way u talk is so funny
keep going
unfortunately that run is LONG gone
what was camp at
rough boss blind
yh that wud do it
what a chud
if dagger was at 40+ it would beat VV
i dont think red card is the play here
buy devil and never look back
it absolutely is?
mult problem completely solved for you run with red card that early
yeah the idf took over his run
i used to think "skip" meant js ignoring the packs lol
so i was confused my reds not going up
YES OMG
😭😭😭
bruh
yet another thing doc taught me
lmao +6 for free every round
some legendary joker scaling
are we fr
🤣🤣🤣🤣
ante 8
should i sell all other jokers and use to copy ride the bus
brother
i mean i lowk see a lot of new players literally interprete it that way, maybe tutorial needs to include pack opening
brother
some of the wording is strange
bro gave us zero context
perkeo is in fucking danger
sell the bitch
So do I dupe the kings? And re roll the jokers and replace the non race card joker
yeah ngl
Bruh i just wanted to do a regular run after 2 months without playing
don’t crop the screenshots
fyck u mean regular
UR AT 200 CARDS
it makes it so much easier to give advice if we can see everything
anyway dagger campfire is some tricky business
should pay more attention
Did you like snort meth?
can I do whatever the hell this hand is
i hate accidentally scoring infinity points :( its so annoying it takes forever :(
RTB is at +9 mult, +10 (from holographic), on ante 4 rn
oh god that’s scaling so slow
either way everyone is dying, just depends on which way
how does you acquire "the harem"
just pick up flower pot 💯
yeah man i hate when i have 216 foil red kings and an infinite baron
Cryptid parpol
its just terrible sigh
any planet cards?
Aight and remove the train joker?
are any of your hands leveled up
the what
noo
???
where did that come from
Whatever the fuck it is
Team
its a bus bro
What do I get
its called ride the bus
okay but like
Aight cool
its clearly a bus
duo gg
😭😭
you take both
goodness me
the skipping
So no?
oh god
she ride on my bus till i +1 mult 🗣🔥
worlds first 4ofakind fan
yeah tbh just ankh the stencil
she ride on my bus till i faced her
🔥🔥🔥🔥
sincr you don’t care about scaling RTB at all
1 x3 x3
Thank
why would you sell it
W
who up riding they bus
I love you so much sr pelo and ena dream bbq chapter 1 was soooooo good
should i sell all other jokers to force the stencil yo be ankhed
find something idk
u do the math bro
buy planets
what do I kill
whatever shop gives you
brute force it
the boss
am selling smiley
depending on hand level you could get away w it without selling
level 7 five of a kind
am doing a 5 of a kind run lmfao
id start with making a 5 of a kind then
green boss on the green stake 🎀
yay i got 10k achievement and got to 500 mult
purple boss on purple stake isnt as joyous though
do I hit it
whats your score without space jonkler
thats what am saying
good pick? or not
technically really good, but depends on your deck
I have had it since the start lmao I dunno
get a smear and u will have a fun time
am selling smile
what even is a smear
HOW IS TWO PAIR MY MOST PLAYED
send me the screenshot of smear
haha me too bro
meh, smear wont help too much here i think, you need to get rid of all red regardless
tbh i dont know his ither jokers
weird ass round
smear does nothing to blackboard
2 joker stencils
uh huh
It was a dead run anyways. This grind is just getting more harder and harder
start deck fixing ig
should i get misprint
yeah go on
its hella ass unless you are dying for +mult dont
do u have any levels
honestly I shouldn't be alive rn
this is ante 6 on orange stake
holographic from 3 consecutive wheels btw
he has none i dont even thimk he has planets
what about it telling you the next card in RED?
like it lgitches
what
it glitches to a code of a card
you dont need to have it for thay effect
just open the jokers collection
well it wasnt discovered i think
until i bought it
@cloud sinew you're right. This grind is getting boring when you just focus on efficiency
also i want to amplify +mult with the joker stencils
what u guys hoping for in update 1.1
what do I bp now
bro im keeping misprint t gave me like 304 mult after being multiplied by x16
make pluto scale 1 chip 0 mult and mercury scale 5 chips 0 mult
uh
thats it
golden joker worth here?
should i take iy
in the joker slots?
always believe u will get baseball
Really?
i have 3/5 used slots
bet it all on green
I deserve death
Holy shit zippo did a balala collab
new blue stake
make pluto take away 1 mult and destroy all barons upon being used
should i get thst
Really
big joker. cmon john balatro. we already have a small one we deserve a big one
we both got it fucked up
free money gaming
but might nerf stencils a lot, go for it if you will survive
all cards are now clubs suit
still x2 x2, might be fine
pairs less centralized
bc who likes clubs
rebate and blue seal nerf
LITERALLY OMG
HOW DID I LOSE THIS
my last joker unlock is 30 clubs 😭😭😭
sya um.. whats with the joker sticker?
reset your save
i have yet to di any of those lol
i did beat it wiht white stake
via nerfing pairs instead of making all other hands as viable
mods, make all his finishers violet vessels
i havent gotten a death or chad in how long
He’s only gone and got all gold stickers. Just cruelty and jokerless to go 🎉
thats not a sticker, thats a part of the jokers art i rhink
riff raff reference
holy shit did they really add balatro reference to baseball card
insane
dammit it coudl have been throwback!!
rip that run is over
aww well i just swapped golden joker for it
instant death
huh
best of luck lol i managed to get to purple stake before i had to switch to another deck lol
getting my gold stake on ghost deck 💯
hardest deck lowk
-1 hand might not seem like much, but it becomes really punishing
and -1 joker
My dumbass spent all my money rerolling for a negative forgetting that I don't even need cards to win
?? its +1 joker
Funny Number
-1 joker is painted
oh whoops
anyone who played that on high stakes, how bad is it? lowk won it first try on white stake, -1 joker sounds kinda scary
It's fine
The -joker slot really Isnt that bad
You can go for harder hands because hand size high so planet scaling makes up for lost score
+2 hand size is really good and the game even lets you get the hand size vouchers on top of that
It's not like, easy
i think im good for the rest of the run lol
But definitely not the hardest deck
Nebula, black, plasma are worse
Mayhaps anaglyph
im interested in checking out the plasma deck lol
Black deck sends shivers down my spine
Plasma deck idk never found it that hard but VV can give you the middle finger
More so than usual
Sometimes you can just go chips rhe whole time but making a pivot for mult half way inbetween can be more consistent but really tricky
I mean black is absolutely horrible, i know that, but how bad is nebula? Its one of those decks i dont really see played a lot
nebula is weird
You're a mean one, Mr. Flint
I find it fun but the -1 consumable slot is butt
god even a high card is doing too much xD
nebula isn't even that awful it's just annoying as anything
it easy to spam pairs on it though with telescope
I mean yeah, -1 consumable seems so random
red seel or copy grimbo
ankh the banana.
temperance and then copy green joker
throw the run sure
oo yea
Nebula is bad because that -1 consumable spot is surprisingly harmful. You can only get value from a single blue seal, you can't use emperor nor purple seals effectively, you can't stock on useless tarots and planets to make packs better etc
Nebula suuuuuuuuuucks
There is yet to be -1 hand size deck and im absolutely not excited to see it added
fun run
You should've played old gold stake
Pairs be like
I heard it was brutal
dang it doesnt synergize
man i wish black hole procced constelation
What would y'all do?
I started playing in the latest update 🐈🎉🎉🎊
Like this autumn i believe
alright time to win lol
Showman 👎
But i do know that old gold stale was hell (thanks to doc, one and only)
was tryna stack stuff :/ no luck
I got an idea for a joker
sell showman? what is showman doing there?
wanted to be cheeky and stack but meh
Go on
resets if cant oneshot
Call it Bullseye
lowkey just deadeye frm isaac
That's awful 😫
Glass cards to get it started and then ramp from there
ye
:p
Tbf I’d rather that than obelisk
I mean i would like to see something related to fire or incentivising one shots
idk how good it would scale early on tho
idk wut to do
should i sell trib for brainstorm
localthunk make it happen 🔥
should i have some fun..?
time to thrive
Localthunk please make getting 5 8 balls instantly win the game
what does trib and perkeo do
holy xd
Trib is x2 for each king/queen
@tawny bough :(
win
meow
Perky gives you a negative Consumable on hand
trust dont get spoilers
Perkeo copies one random consumable and makes the copy negative every round
alright lets see here

This
Sometimes one can get past Ante 12
it's impossible to scroll pass ouija
like you gotta take it bro
just like wheel
Perkeo was my first legendary i believe and i died with it before ante 8 because i didnt know how to play the videojame yet 🐈🎉
The Wheel and the Wheel of Fortune are the same.
actaully i went with incantation, since ive already got good 3OAK set up already
skip?
At your risk
Depends on if you have steel or anything else to retrigger
nope xd
alr
how have i not found that damn pair joker in like 100 gold stake runs
Why dont you just click them to remove the (!)
Do you even need to click? Just hover over
i mean
i think its a little too late for hologram now lol
no
i think this is where i die
oh no!
+2 gold stickers
Fun visual glitch from opening the game after a while
Beat the shop blind vro
woooah thats weird
...what the hell whats all the extra hud from?
hiving those blind on screen in the shop is so nice
Actually might scale green jonkler a lot
yeah but grimbo is not synergy with photochad
I mean not the best out there, but pretty good
im rusty
Fair 🐈🎉🎊
Would blueprint overpower baseball card here?
holy random seed
Man
just found a nat negative brainstorm, this HAS to be the naneinf run
and a mime next shop holy
Would be so good to get early, ante 7 will do pretty much nothing to score 💔
This might be the craziest seed ive ever got:
61CLF7VG
2 invis jokers, 2 legendary jokers, brainstorm and hanging chad
so um
What are the legends tho
Guys how can I win game with black deck what strategy is good?
Trib and perkio, great setup for glass cards
Yeah thats kinds good
i had 3 tribs but had to discard one for boss blind
Bro I’m so done
Pair it up 🗣 💯
I just want my stickers
Really LOL let’s try
Honestly i dont have a clear strat for any deck, but pair spam is optimal anywhere i believe
I just do whatever my jokers tell me to do
Yeah not to mention anti synergy with smiley face
Hrm do i get hand size if im 2pairing
Or boneana
probably
don't need more +mult, trousers should be enough for quite a while
eternal showman 🦓
greatest choice oat
Hes gonna bring a full shop of showmen whenever you reroll
I bought it and i relized too late
buying it in the first place
i won thx to it so, i dont think is bad at all
RAAAAAAAAUGH ANCIENT JOKER MAXXING
wait if you have two ancient jokers are they set to the same suit or no
i realized that in endless, ec¡verything was mercury and scholar joker
they are actually
oh neat
only tdl can be offsync
the more you know
they are not random, they are set by the seed... so they cant be diferent
wich one?
i love ancient joker sm its fun to use
Not accurate, he didnt bring 20 copies of himself
fr
we are not the same
misscharacterisation
Thats all he ever does 😔
ancient joker + smeare best combo
more susceptible to suit bosses
The one run i had that combo i got lucky and avoided them, never punished 🗣
holy shit my caligrapy is so ass
i managed so dodge all of em
now that i think about it, smear joker basically turns your deck into a checkers deck
neat
This game despite’s me
baby’s first random nan inf
Green joker carry
better pick up the duo to get x2 naneinf!
best deal ever
fr
peak
my God
sell ancient
just got telescope now i need the upgrade but that will be easy
alr did
Why was black deck hard again?
gg
Madness instant take
Wtf
god i love having my runs be shut down by violet vessel for two hours straight
truly the ultimate gaming experience
One time i lost a run because i only got 2x on my cat
i had an oops
screw you violet vessel
certificate so goated
fellow certificate enjoyer
How many blue seals did it give ya
sometimes the vouchers just don’t align
idk i just died , i didnt check the deck
Did the soul card used to remove all your current jokers to give you a legendary? I swear I remember it saying that but it doesn't now and I can't find a patch note saying it changed so I want to know if anyone else remembers this
Doing like the last 50 jokers of completionist++ is the slowest burn of all time
it took me like 20 hours to find my last joker
it was wee.
I just did wee and trading card tdy
I rolled past a wee with a good run at ante 8 once and I think I died inside a little bit
CAT WHY DID YOU CURSE ME
Disheartening
The fall 😭😭😭
Now how is one brainstorm gold staked and the other is orange staked😭
They’re both orange, ones just reflecting weird
cause they won both times with brainstorm
Ahhh I see
That trips me up all the time
Still insane for ante three
On purple stake too 😮
inb4 suit boss blind and you didnt check your ancient before clicking big blind
Hated doing that
Felt like ror2 eclipse all over again
I’m praying I get completionist++ before 1.1
Last thing I need is more jokers to gold stake
Are you on ghost deck for that?
I switch between ghost, Yellow, Zodiac and Anaglyph.
Anaglyph is really funny
blue or yellow is the best generally to c++ but if you have a higher winrate on a different deck then use that
Erratic is also pretty funny
This was a fun run
Tribulet my goat
I kept the perishable just to sticker it.
Smart
I Assumed that
I did that with an 8ball a bit ago
I can’t remember ever hitting an 8 ball before 😭😭😭
Fuck that joker
And when it does hit it gives you a suit tarot that doesn’t even fit ur build
Couldn't find another non gold sticker with money I had despite having a open joker slot
does flashcard trigger before photograph?
No.
Holy shop
Help, reloaded the game and was stuck like this
Ah hell nah
i have been using gold sealed mult or bonus face cards
I wonder what the far left joker is??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I see
Guess
i have a polychrome drivers liscense but i dont think its worth it to switch if the flashcard triggers before all the x2 from photograph
Triangle joker
Blueprint! 🤔🤔🤔
It does not
okay thank you
How much do extra give you, is it +1$ for each one
It triggers after your played hand
Hands*
Yes
Okay, thank you
Every remaining hand Is 1$ unless on green deck
did crimson bean exploit get patched?
Which then it's 2$
I’m brain dead
improvement thank you
ggs
Copy photo now. Unless gold seal or lucky is first.
Worth
im using gold seals first but once i start hitting the limits i will switch
Good.
When you get that riffraff rental on ante 1 so yk ur locked for your 2 free commons
🤤
RIFF RAFF MY BELOVED 🗣🗣
Love riffing my raff honestly
Finally selling ur riffraff feels like abandoning ur kid
😔
man getting these 15 as gold is gonna be annoying cause they don't synergise so its gonna be 1 by 1 slooowly
The best gamblepilled jonkler
I’m gonna hate doing baron
i aint even won 1 run with half of them
first green stake win due to the most insane luck ive had 😭
Also family will end me too
Family is nowhere near as bad as flower pot to me
What's the fucking play 😭
idfk you brought this on yourself man
Generate 5 gazillion of something
hmm
hunt for a family
Copy the Buffoon pack
Merry andy is kinda fun at least to me tbh, hand size is kinda important on gold stake tho
run died
0 bucks
hack superposition shortcut/4f low straight glass spam
i wanna try that again this could be fun
Copy the 0s
Copy the gold sticker and stick it onto everything
I mean i think its usually good
Idk what youd replace tho
Hallucination is some good value gen
One copy on chad one on photo
goodbye scary face
If only one copy copying the photo is better
okay thank you
yeah im copying chad for money atm i can still 1 shot very easily
Fair game yup
so is chad better than the retrigger all face cards for a flush five build?
75/150 jokers gold stickered now
I mean chad is better with photo, but if all faces get some kinda xmult all retriggers will be better
It was my go to replacement
Eh, not that big of a deal i guess
As im lv2 max so i need 🍟
okay thank you i think i get it
Rn only first face matters so you wanna retrigger just that one as many times as possible, which chad does better than sock
The rest dont matter as they domt give anything
Right now anyway
there u go ashy
🐈
Question, what’s everyone’s opinion on green deck
ass
not much of an opinion on it
its a good concept
Is it weird then that it’s my favorite
Nah
for example I like obelisk
My fav is ghost honestly 🗣
you and probably thousands of others
What can i do, love that free 1.5x
Obelisk and Erratic is fun
Anyone know why there are 2 black boxes above my chips and multi number?
what😭
no clue bro
I used to think its boring right up until i realised what it actually does
free polychrome
That 1.5x is huge honestly
and deck fix
I guess i just love green for some of the middle ground stakes so that getting an economy at first gets way easier
I get it, yellow does the same, but the 10 just disappears sometimes
i think you can make it work pretty well
Before ghost i was running checkered a lot because skill issue
Highcard is highkey goated
but havent unlocked checkered
😭
does anyone else think erosion is underpowered or am i just noob
💔
not rlly
its good with trading card
Underpowered 😭 hell na
its not even that bro
ive been doing the decks one at a time
yeah erosion is kinda mid
Like wdym I played a 3 of diamonds on ante 6/8 and got e11😭✌️
then move to the other one
Hey, it’s easy to do flush houses with it
i was lowk excited because i thought it'd be crazy good on ancient deck but idk why i expected that
I wasnt even doing flush houses, i was doing just any ol flushes 😭
Fair enough
whats the easiest way to play a flush five?
8 of clubs=e39
abandoned?
W balatro
probably erratic
oh my bad ive called it that my whole life
Play 5 exactly same cards
dont have it
i cant read itss okay
magix
Hope that helps
with death
no shit sherlock
I love helping people 🐈💗
dw

anyways yeah erosion is good
Using that one seed with 10 of spades
he probably meant it unseeded
i need to unlock the planet card for 5 flush

what hand types do you think it synergises with
Idk js lock in or sm😭✌️
aight
Learn to deck build
every one of them ngl
just blow up cards u dont need
and scale it
Any that require killing everyone
Ghost deck gives you a chance to get cryptids which can help some
im bad at it leave me alone 😭
im not saying its a must
tbf as long as you dont care about winning, just death and cryptid one card
im saying its good
aye aye
Same bro dw
thats 4
I rely on crptid
i'll give it a shot next time
gl baby bro
youve had flush house and not flush five?
Last one was flush house for me 💔🐈
Go get it bro
happens ashy happens
First run i played it the planet just never appeared
yeah
Yeah thats what i did? I still got it in the end yknow 🥀
im so close to naneinf this run, I just need an ecto.
Unseeded?
yup
Fire
flush house got me my highest run tho so tthat was really fujn
All my best runs were high card
like baron mime or what
I dont score enough to beat the ante 24 boss though so I NEED ecto
do stone cards count for flush five?
Nah
They should make flower pot instantly make all your jokers negative and spawn in all 5 legendaries
nope
Just random shit
Nope
damn
guess the round
good idea
24
I do have omen globe, surely I get the ecto
You are all wrong
Close
true
No I hate burglar, he shows up all the time before ante 25 then he doesnt show up at all
taunting me.
burglar delayed gratification synergy
no ?
trust bro trust
round 12
Is there a point to swapping my jokers ever?
idts
Idts
only if u roll ecto
That doesnt work because he steals all your money
What's that
I dont think so
paradolia ride the bus
yh mn
i would of gotten away from it if it wasnt for those meddling kids
I have $7k at ante 20 surelyyy I roll into the bunglar
Close enough! 20 showmen
showmen? yes please
uhm
are you trying to naneinf before a26?
Yeah, u kinda need to take 2 steps back 3 steps forward if you wanna hit naneinf this run
nope
I already hit it?
Unless you get lucky
I see
I hit it ante 5 small blind
Oh it’s that seed
I think that's what cause the black boxes
I'd probably score too much to naneinf at ante 26
🐈
In that case because it’s seeded you already know what to do :) bc u can just check the seed
oh that’s what he was playing at
I mean I only know what to do up to ante 5
I just need the ecto rn
I dont wanna have to sell out of rebate to start rolling early
This run isn’t going anywhere bc you sold perkeo and used all ur cryptids
And you can’t savescum
😬
What's that
Quitting out to revert recent decisions
probably means u cant save shit
Watch out for violet vessel vro! 6x blind size is dangerous
😭😭😭
Only boss I'm concerned for is the one that disabled face cards
the plant.
Terrifying
Was half asleep and ran into the pant
Plant
Could've rerolled but I didn't notice
I am going to cry if I dont get an ecto
we all hate the eye
Why do people not like chicot?
chief thats not how u do that
is it that serious
Was cutting it close, gg
yes.
Genuinely
ykw bro
He seems good in my run
u got this
I dont hate chicot
well I could always sell rebate and roll but I'd need to find a showman immediately
u got this king
chicot would be good if it was like a rare instead of a legendary
Other legendaries seem stronger and bosses arent that big of a concern sometimes
But when they are we ALL praying for chicot 🐈
mega spectral pack and it gives me NO ecto
ooo shittt thats not good looks
Hell na that would be wild imo
Hes kinda like
Too strong for a non-legendary, but also not really strong enough for a legendary
yeah hes an in-between
Cause it doesn’t directly help scoring the way the others do generally
But nobody properly hates him
Like you get soul and think I’m set if i can build around this then you get Chicot and it’s just survive instead with him instead of win using him
He should get some sort of an additional effect for sure, but what effect
Serpent always removes 3 cards when you discard or play 
yeah idk about that one
do you mean it draws 3 cards?
why are u telling me tht😭
I pribs got the leadt
Cause you're goated
Maybe take a page out of matadors book and give money for doing what the boss could have prevented/nerfed? And make matador clearer while we are at it
My best is like e25 or so 🥀
wow
wait whats ur setup looking like @tropic widget
I have antimatter and brainstorm was a nat negative in like ante 3
Five flush with gay lucky red heart kings run
holy luck
on god
I dont think it can get better than that
unless u roll the burglar
what ante do u need him again
Dont miss out on that x4 loyalty card vro, easy win 💯
Boss that kills himself most of the time
😭😭😭
I just need a showman or invis
Scraping by
did invis tell you that?
Idk what's more worth using blueprint on mime or Barron or brainstorm
Yeah
baron
I'm low-key geeked and the game is low-key speaking to me
Alright y'all, I need some help. I prob die next ante because I haven't found ecto or blank/antimatter. I have to take blueprint here and drop perkeo, right?
if you have red seal steel then copy baron twice
Invis somehow just chooses to target the worst option there is even if you have 5 times more actually useful stuff
500 high cards ahh
with this erratic deck gold stake win. i have gold staked all the decks. using the "useless" number 7
yes invis copy my nat negative 8 ball instead of my 2 blueprints
Useless number? 7?
imagine the 8 ball value tho
Literally my experience word for word
i forgot to finish the message lol
I just found a merry andy, I am going to be so rich by the end of this ante
I mean tbh 7 is the only one without synergies
is the last joker black board?
It better get something in 1.1
yes. it was a nat neg
Square btw
Invisible just showed up in the shop
I was close
On my life if it turns into blueprint @patent sail owes me 500 cigarettes
Nah circle joker
nvm I found the invis
Nice

holy luck
Bye bye rocket
that cant be real
I will literally go ahead and do absolutely nothing
Omg not the wall😬
it is
is the game ruined?
Watch out! Its a rather treacherous fiend!
this fuck ass spade is annoying me
my idol when I have 30 kings and one 8
balatro
don't even joke lad
that happened to me yesterday
Yo what was that game called about like gambling and jokers and stuff idk
Roulette
Or something
Joker poker i think idk
Omg it turned into a brainstorm
i think it was smth with 
What to do with 3 brainstorms😬
replace them with 3 blueprints
For what purpose!
You could even say you have some brainstorming to do
combine them all into super brainstorm
It's been done
because 3 brainstorms kinda suck.
Perhaps I should blueprint my brainstorm
the invis hit the blueprint im so happy.
🧠 🌪️ 🟦 🖨️
You would get nowhere without that hack
Truke...
I blindfolded him and told him all my kings are 2s, basically another mime
Need nat negative emotional support jimbo
Stuff like that should become an achievement
Not the mark! I need to know where my 17 steel red seal kings are😓
Like what
Having brainstorm and blueprint together
Lesbian couple achievement
😭😭😭
Shelby rides the buss
Watch out for big blind! That 1.5x size is kinda scary
i honestly hate the magic trick voucher
And losing Cavendish
erm yeah I'm goated
I can imagine
holy dopamine

hack carried
Only if real poker was like that 😔
do i need to get ectos with jokers instead of packs in naneinf runs
i ruined a run becaude i didnt get a single ecto
e82 was my best score
Saw my classmates play it the other day, didnt even have a blueprint, legit how are you supposed to win
hack:
antimatter is the big one
Specifically magic trick
more like magic mid
This was so funny
yes you should buy magic trick, tarot merchant and planet merchant IMMEDIATELY in a high score run
