[calm lily]

[calm furnace]

immolate not scaling glass is so ass

[calm lily]

[calm furnace]

[calm furnace]

no spectral does

[calm lily]

sigh

[patent sail]

dice it up 🗣

[atomic trout]

Dear God

[wicked sequoia]

Heard that's getting fixed in 1.1

[calm furnace]

didn't find oops or idol

[patent sail]

i hope 1.1 fixes a bug where flower pot appears in shops

[calm furnace]

also i was stupid copying an Ace but oh well i just wanted to beat ante 8

[calm lily]

its a good joker tho

🤣

[atomic trout]

[lost vault]

[calm furnace]

sigh two perkeo hold runs today but no freak builds 💔

[calm lily]

aw

shucks

just more diamonds and gold

[sleek sail]

It appeared to be about 8 antes too late for perkeo anyway

[calm lily]

for it to be a helpful perkeo

[sleek sail]

I mean, ig

negative canio and pariedolia

[lost vault]

worlds best cloud 9?

[molten badger]

any card destroyed +x1 mult

[molten badger]

mine said currently $4

unless this is a joke

[calm lily]

probably

[wicked sequoia]

Is this the average anaglyph experience for anyone else

[distant thunder]

i played anaglyph for some good amount of runs and never got a memorable negative skip

[fervent wolf]

Mine said -4

[atomic trout]

I'll miss you Credit Card 😭

Rough Gem is powerful with Flushes 💎

[lost vault]

it is

[calm lily]

need more double tags

[atomic trout]

The Taliban gold sticker helps too

[distant thunder]

the double tags werent the problem it was that the negative tag wasnt showing ;-;

[atomic trout]

And people say Hanging Chadster sucks 🤣

[honest dawn]

Now I realize it's easy to get a K with a red seal

[molten badger]

oh lol

next time make a joe with it saying ucrrently $0

[honest dawn]

It's simply deck fixing a card with a red seal; for example, you get a 7 with a red seal and you convert it to a K.

[sullen apex]

i didnt i tried saving him

[honest dawn]

When I started playing, I waited for a j, q, or k with a red seal to appear.

[patent sail]

you still didnt save him 😔

[lost vault]

is this pog chat

what do j sell

[patent sail]

prolly fib

[atomic trout]

The Juggler

[lost vault]

i could probably lose fib

[patent sail]

if we miming it up you domt need fib anymore

[atomic trout]

Fibby only works on what, 5 cards?

[sullen apex]

i tried moving him to get him out of harms way and he kept exploding

[fervent wolf]

Yeah

Is 5

[molten badger]

i had a negative dna in shop

[patent sail]

shoulda left him alone 🥀

[atomic trout]

Balatro doesn't give a damn 😨

[patent sail]

bro played 7 colors

[fervent wolf]

Flushes are L

<

[atomic trout]

But...

[patent sail]

nya!!

[atomic trout]

I won the last game with Colors

[fervent wolf]

Meowww~ >_<

[honest dawn]

The Magic Trick voucher, I think it's called, can also be used like DNA if you do deck fixing with Death.

[fervent wolf]

On white stake

[cerulean spoke]

i reran it

[patent sail]

i do flushes early game until i get something that will let me spam pairs

[atomic trout]

Wasn't enough 🤣

[fervent wolf]

Okay let's see some proof

[cerulean spoke]

its not getting deleted 🙁

[honest dawn]

It's probably underrated now that I think about it

[atomic trout]

Shush. Sometimes I lose too

[cerulean spoke]

now i need explanation how it got deleted that run

[honest dawn]

Likewise, without that function it's a bad voucher, so they should rework it.

[fervent wolf]

Wow, who would've possibly figured!?

[cerulean spoke]

yeah but it got deleted

[fervent wolf]

Skill issue (literally)

[fervent wolf]

Thats either an error or glitch

But eternals don't get deleted

[honest dawn]

You need to improve your decision-making

Losing at white stakes unless you've taken a risk is not normal for someone who has been playing for a long time.

But if you're new, it's understandable.

[fervent wolf]

They have blue stake stickers on jokers, they are not new

[honest dawn]

Even if you play blue stake, there's a chance it won't be that good, but it might be relatively good.

Relatively normal*

[atomic trout]

Ante 2 Wall 🤣

[honest dawn]

Why do you need experience to win every time at white stakes? Winning almost every time is one thing, but winning consistently is quite another.

[honest dawn]

Hablas en español

XD

[patent sail]

bro played 8 colors now

[atomic trout]

A veces

[patent sail]

thats more than a rainbow has

how did he do that

[quartz ember]

are those not the same thing

[atomic trout]

But English is best here

[honest dawn]

Intenta hacer deck fixing y subir los planetas al principio

[last path]

this is truely a random run of all time. did it solely for stickers lol

[quartz ember]

pair

[patent sail]

why is your build just STUFF

[honest dawn]

English is universal, but it's not a language I particularly like; I prefer Spanish or French, for example.

[atomic trout]

I should just quit Balatro.

[patent sail]

HOW

genuinely how

[atomic trout]

Why not? 🤣

[quartz ember]

wtf

how did you not score

[honest dawn]

The most skillful issue I've ever seen

[quartz ember]

like anything

[atomic trout]

I see Hieroglyph. I score low

[patent sail]

how did you do that

[atomic trout]

I don't know how you guys score at the exponent numbers 🤣

[patent sail]

walk us through your strategy on this one

[wicked sequoia]

mmmmmmmstinky

[molten badger]

same card with steel and retriggers i think people do

[quartz ember]

I dont know how you score in the double digits

[rich mauve]

enlighten us

[atomic trout]

So I saw Hieroglyphic. And then I blacked out

[molten badger]

also using negatives, way too many negatives

[rich mauve]

🙏🏻

[atomic trout]

I woke up losing.

[frank grove]

yellow deck > takes hiero first shop > only plays high cards????

3 pairs beats 150 😭

[patent sail]

double digit is technically an exponent

[quartz ember]

or glass

[molten badger]

someone explain how i got triple+ the score required on a blind

[honest dawn]

I recommend you look at your options before taking action, because you might want to play a full house, for example, at the beginning, and that might not be the most profitable strategy.

[patent sail]

you played cards

[atomic trout]

Technically I wanted to see how low one can score

[full orbit]

Tu hablas español?

[honest dawn]

Obviamente

[molten badger]

nah i mean the combo

[patent sail]

rich get richer challenge and spend all your money

[atomic trout]

No mames 🤣

[molten badger]

if i played random cards it would not get me to like 44k score

[patent sail]

0 score

[full orbit]

Bien. Yo comprar poco español

[patent sail]

oui oui bonjour baguette

i dont speak spanish

[frank grove]

what deck should i play today chat?

[full orbit]

I’m not any good 😓

[honest dawn]

Learning languages is also a good thing; it gives you more job opportunities and can also help you if you want to travel to another country.

[quartz ember]

green

[frank grove]

i havent played green in so long

im down

[patent sail]

that one deck i forget exists

[lost vault]

look who finally showed up

murder juggler ?

[patent sail]

probably

[lost vault]

ir maybe const....

[quartz ember]

or conste

[lost vault]

hunmm

[quartz ember]

[atomic trout]

I like that challenge

[atomic trout]

Don't have to. I screenshot in Spanish

Not enough money for Tahiti

Ashy!! (#1 Flower Pot hater)

[safe venture]

Flower pot is awesome in 4oak builds

[lost vault]

pog!!!

[cloud sinew]

nah

[atomic trout]

Gotta love the Anagram Deck

[cloud sinew]

fpot is a full house / straight joker

[frank grove]

or if you have splash

[rich mauve]

Violet Vessel | Very Large Blind

[atomic trout]

I love Splash

[safe venture]

Not large enough

[atomic trout]

Purple Stakes Violent Cup is the hardest

[lost vault]

ruff gem unlocked :D

[rich mauve]

let's see who's blind is larger

[atomic trout]

1.2 Million chips

[safe venture]

[atomic trout]

The Needle is basically the opposite of the Wall

[safe venture]

Grass is kinda green too

[lost vault]

dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same

[safe venture]

Perpetuate

[willow frost]

depends what side youre on

[rich mauve]

no director's cut?

[atomic trout]

Not where I live 🤣

[safe venture]

I ain't in the terraria corruption so it's definitely green

[atomic trout]

The Plant is overrated. I hate the Eye

[safe venture]

THE ARM SUCKS IF YOU'RE PLAYING PAIRS

I HATE THE ARM

[lost vault]

there was a dc earlier in the run but i decided i didnt need it
this was before i got the baron

[atomic trout]

The Plant is hated because of the Baron Mine runs 🤣

[safe venture]

It's actually pretty fucking okay

It's not generally hard for everyone like the wall or needle

[rich mauve]

I hate plant because it only shows up when I get photochad

[limpid gate]

Mmhmmm average balatro screenshot

nothing wrong with it at all

[atomic trout]

Everyone talks about the Plant. But we forget the Wheel with two Dice Haha

[limpid gate]

You forget the mark with paredolia

[atomic trout]

That boss becomes the Mark with Pareidolia

[limpid gate]

XD

No way we just did that

[atomic trout]

We did 💀

[rich mauve]

eternal negative pareidolia

[safe venture]

Play leftmost cards and pray

[limpid gate]

Or yk, use use suit/rank shenanigans to try and deduce your cards little by little

or just cheat by leaving/rejoining after playing a hand (my favorite method)

[safe venture]

Flushes

Johne flushe

[lost vault]

pray for a luchador chat

[atomic trout]

Luchador and Matador. The only Mexican jokers

[warped cradle]

worst run ever?

[atomic trout]

Well. Matador was Spain. But shush

[lost vault]

i deadass took trading card to dilute the uncommon pool

[atomic trout]

Kinda? What else you got?

[warped cradle]

this wasnt on gold stake this was on magic deck red stake

im just trying to win at all decks

[atomic trout]

Why do you have two chip Jokers? 🤣

[warped cradle]

showman pog

[atomic trout]

Blue joker suuuuuuuuuucks. But you have Hologram. With DNA or Marble Joker. Maybe

Or that gross Card voucher

[warped cradle]

i was just trying to get shit

done

[lost vault]

o7 we had a good run

[opaque vale]

CHAT

C++

[lost vault]

8ball carry, trust

wow i played a random ass zodiac run to unlock golden ticket and this happened

[lost vault]

funny how that goes

[opaque vale]

RNG was blessed: I got The Family, my last remaining joker off a judgement card

It’s time to finally uninstall this game

(jk im never leaving Balatro)

[molten badger]

Monsieur time

[patent sail]

its not even bad

[molten badger]

i once beat the plant lol

not jokin

[stoic gull]

sad day

ante 8 btw

[lost vault]

same gng

its not that hard

this build just wasnt prepared to deal with it

[molten badger]

i beat it in school

[lost vault]

if only she had the foresight to purchase director's cut

[lost vault]

🤨

[molten badger]

i got balatro in school laptop

and beat the plant

[frank grove]

ok, i still think steel joker scales really slow, its only like .5x ahead of like an ante 5 hologram even though i got steel in like ante 2

[lost vault]

.5X more than hologram is impressive

[frank grove]

i got a LOT of purple seals

[stoic gull]

deleted a negitive rand mult and it gave me another [x3] 🤷

[lost vault]

pog

[frank grove]

certificate carried this run for sure

[molten badger]

you mean misprint ror what

[frank grove]

got it early perishable and it gave me all 4

[molten badger]

onc got on lucky card

like bro wjat

[atomic trout]

For the start

[patent sail]

idk he stays for a while sometimes

[scenic sigil]

Blue joker effectively doubles, triples or even x10's your score at the start when you have no levels

[frank grove]

yeah

[patent sail]

thats too mhm

i sometimes leave him be if i dont find any better chips source

[scenic sigil]

Also I'm a flower pot defender

[frank grove]

flower pot is just tough to get going or you need other jokers to help it

which is just worse than like blackboard which just mostly works without any work

[scenic sigil]

That's so many jokers flower pot doesn't deserve the hate

I'm gonna give super hot truke rn

Flower pot is better than DNA in non-endless runs

[patent sail]

its not worth for how much effort you need to consistently hit it, esp when theres card sharp, cavendish and blackboard

[lost vault]

maiw

[frank grove]

given how many uncommon x mults there are, flower pot is just not worth going for most of the time

[scenic sigil]

Sometimes you get to ante 7 and you gotta make it work and it saves your run

[patent sail]

mrrp nya

[scenic sigil]

if you don't have overstock and are broke it can come in clutch

[lost vault]

nom

[frank grove]

totally

[scenic sigil]

Also today I had a gold stake run get saved by loyalty card

Every card is valuable sometimes this game is so good bro

[patent sail]

i dont want to say that its useless despite how much i joke about it, it definitely has its use cases like any other joker, but most of the time theres sometging better to go for

[scenic sigil]

Simply discard better

I think the good thing about it is that you can make it work with a completely unfixed deck

[frank grove]

yeah but the whole game you might be deck fixing to something else and wow here is flower pot which is just basically useless at that point

[scenic sigil]

Yea but you can say the same about blackboard

[frank grove]

blackboard doesnt require you to build towards wilds, or all 4 suits

[patent sail]

i like docs suggestion, it shoukd give 2x when theres 3 suits

[scenic sigil]

I think that's a good idea

[shell dagger]

hell nah

[simple jacinth]

chat I think this might be the run

[scenic sigil]

Like I said it works with an unfixed deck. And only a few wilds are usually enough

[jolly relic]

is it wrong to think people who p2w in any slightly competetive game deserve to die

[shell dagger]

dna is just slightly bait early and it is winmore

[scenic sigil]

Who's doing p2w in balatro

[patent sail]

3 suits is way more manageable to get scoring and 2x will still help anytime

[simple jacinth]

me, I'm buying glass joker

[shell dagger]

but it still enables 4oak and prints blue seals if you have them

[jolly relic]

ermm did it not say any slightly competitive game in my message

[patent sail]

me, i pay for the jokers

[frank grove]

glass joker more like goater

[scenic sigil]

This is the run bro

I don't think any boss blind can take that build out

[scenic sigil]

is there p2w in balatro multiplayer

[shell dagger]

vessel maybe

[frank grove]

also flower pot is pretty goated with seeing double so thats fun

[scenic sigil]

Nahh 3 polychromes should take care of vessel

[jolly relic]

are you js ignoring the specification for fun or are you stupid

[scenic sigil]

Yessss I didn't even think of that

[scenic sigil]

I just don't see how what you said is related to balatro

[frank grove]

ive done a few runs with seeing double and flower pot and it works fairly well since you have to build towards wilds or other suits as well as clubs

[lost vault]

3 big wees 😵‍💫

[molten badger]

https://youtu.be/G0j8H9AWvFE?si=rPD6fO_o0OjbxA6K

[jolly relic]

it doesnt matter if its related or not

[frank grove]

this is the balatro discord

[scenic sigil]

This is the balatro discussion chat

[patent sail]

if i had a dollar for every pixel in this image id be in debt

[molten badger]

recorded on nokia

[stoic gull]

if the invisible joker had one more round it wouldve been thew perfect sell. instead I sold a negitive random mult joker that i had which then copied my x3 if >16 enhanced cards joker

[molten badger]

does random mult mean misprint tho

misprint has rand

[jolly relic]

so youre just boring

[stoic gull]

oh yeah

[scenic sigil]

G tier ragebait

[stoic gull]

sorry i remeber effects but bad at names

[patent sail]

g for gbalatro

[scenic sigil]

I'll be honest I'm also biased for flower pot because I feel bad for wild cards

[scenic sigil]

G stands for gluefactory because horses are my favourite animal

[frank grove]

when wildcards get changes hopefully it somehow makes flowerpot a little more viable maybe

[patent sail]

wild cards definitely need more use cases, very underrated

[scenic sigil]

I think if they werent fucked by the suit killing boss blinds they would be fine

[frank grove]

yeah, that is their problem though

[patent sail]

maybe the tarot should let you make 2 simce its an enhancement that doesnt give score right away and get fucked by suit bosses

[simple jacinth]

you sure have

[scenic sigil]

Congratulations on C++

You can finally play the game

[simple jacinth]

I already could, I've beaten C++ once before

[opaque vale]

it’s so jarring going from gold stake runs to clearing a white deck run to have the c++ register

[pliant wadi]

my flashcard is giga right now

but its also not doing anything

[simple jacinth]

okay so technically speaking I'm not 200% but also... gold stickers errywhare baybee

[patent sail]

find that last thing

whatever it is

[scenic sigil]

Lol that's true. After 3 months of playing gold stake playing that one white stake run felt like when you get off a trampoline

[scenic sigil]

You gotta do jokerless again

[frank grove]

it costs 3 dollars to make one of them, sometimes more and gets just destroyed by like 5(7 with leaf and plant)/28 boss blinds which sucksss

[opaque vale]

shit you not it was weird skipping blinds and knowing I could comfortably complete the run

[simple jacinth]

anyone wanna guess what I'm missing?

[opaque vale]

especially after two ectos 👀👀

[patent sail]

illusion

[simple jacinth]

I'll pass

[pliant wadi]

magic trick upgrade

[simple jacinth]

Bingo

[patent sail]

lmaoooooo

[frank grove]

yeah

[patent sail]

no one likes it

[scenic sigil]

M gonna go ahead and play a white stake run now to see what it feels like

[frank grove]

its always illusion or planet tycoon

[simple jacinth]

Y'all know what you're talking about

[scenic sigil]

Stolen valour name

[opaque vale]

but yeah, either way it’s official :)

[pliant wadi]

I sometimes take magic trick if I have glass cards and I want to be constantly using death on them

but thats about it

[simple jacinth]

Fiiine

[opaque vale]

I just need to complete Jokerless and then my naneinf mission can begin in earnest

[pliant wadi]

even with hologram id rather just fish for a dna lol

[simple jacinth]

I just love that it almost ended on three wee jokers and two buses

[frank grove]

magic trick is good with hologram but like only if you have scaling chips and mult of some kind

[cyan cairn]

hey, does anyone have any ideas why a seed would behave differently? specifically I'm seeing a different spectral card than in a video, and both instances seem to have everything unlocked and its only a couple months old

[frank grove]

cause trying to dig through tarots, planets and magic trick is annoying as hell

[twin lantern]

idk what to do

[pliant wadi]

I think an update between game versions will do that sometimes

[scenic sigil]

the only thing I can think of is something in the inventory blocking a spectral

[simple jacinth]

two buses, two wee lads, and a portrait of a child on a pane of glass

[wintry ice]

most likely a mod conflicting with the game

[burnt drift]

eww

what is this build

[twin lantern]

bloodstone lol

[patent sail]

vagabond 🔥

[cyan cairn]

when was the last update that might've changed things?

[burnt drift]

its not

[wintry ice]

probably nothing considering hitting oops would be bad

[pliant wadi]

no idea

[wintry ice]

like a year or 2 ago

[pliant wadi]

I am bored of endless runs at this point

[wintry ice]

1.0.1

[pliant wadi]

giga gold stake run tho

[scenic sigil]

I don't think we've had an update in the last few months

Localthunk if you can hear me localthunk...

[patent sail]

new banana

[twin lantern]

It pains me so much that its perishable its my favorite economic joker

[pliant wadi]

wait when is the new joker coming out

the banana one

[shell dagger]

before 2050

[frank grove]

with 1.1 whenever that is ready

[wintry ice]

in 1.1

[patent sail]

running a full houses build with vagabond just to troll him

[scenic sigil]

Coming out 2025...

[wintry ice]

which is releasing at the same time as half life 3

[cyan cairn]

I tried a pretty well known naneinf seed, where u get 3 brainstorms ante 2, but its always a deju vu for me instead of an ankh

[white flint]

i js though that with four fingers there could be a hand called 4oak flush but it would be really situational and mostly nonexistent

[frank grove]

maybe you need to use hex ?

[scenic sigil]

Let me try it as well what's the seed

[swift lodge]

who needs money

[simple jacinth]

https://youtu.be/55Ei4k5uzD4?si=e4dAh8xRZ-bR2yKN

this is the credits theme for my second C++

I got that portrait of a Jimbo on a pane of glass on my phone

[simple jacinth]

noce

[swift lodge]

its 12k now

[scenic sigil]

Just tried it without using hex, I still get Ankh

Very strange

[frank grove]

weird

[burnt drift]

Bizzare

[last wren]

whats the most replaceable card here?

[simple hull]

build?

[twilit bridge]

smile

no question

scary next

[simple hull]

actually yeah it doesnt much matter

[cyan cairn]

i mean, its between scary face and smile

[twilit bridge]

precise

jittleyang or fuhuhlatoogan

[cyan cairn]

id assume the smile proccing before photograph is more relevant than scary face no?

[twilit bridge]

5 mult making zero difference if he has planets and deck fixed

no retriggers either

he need to replace smile or scary with a chad or sock

or mime

obvious

fortnite

[cyan cairn]

his blueprint being on photo tells me hes not far fixed for baron yet but yeah

[twilit bridge]

true

trying for naneinf for a while now, e80 is my highest score so far

[simple hull]

[keen pilot]

[tired hemlock]

unless they are near the end, but then burglar would be

[simple hull]

get you a dna and stock pile money

youve got the setup

[tired hemlock]

yeah try to get an ecto, but if you cant you might want to sell brainstorm

[deep fossil]

#🃏・off-topic

[cloud sinew]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[deep fossil]

That’s not Balatro

[tired hemlock]

unless you have enough red seal steel kings

[simple hull]

you only need on negative

two for nan before a26

so theres no need

[tired hemlock]

yeah but they need a dna and eventually a burglar unless they have enough red seal kings (for DNA but they still need burglar) so they can either ecto or sell brainstorm

[thick orchid]

Just finished completing RED stake with red deck. I dont get how you guys can get such high points. I stranded at the 800k blind.

i still think how no matter how many op jokers i get

the biggest hand i played was w random shit

😭😭😭

[tired hemlock]

if you get a high enough mult amount, plasma deck can almost square your score

[quick cloak]

my trib wasnt even on bro

nvm it was

[thick orchid]

Already done white. Or are you telling me to play white?

[simple hull]

most of the folks doin high score are on that deck yes

[pastel hatch]

baron mime red seal blueprint brainstorm and you can hit high numbers

[quick cloak]

yeah ik i js struggle to deck fix

[tired hemlock]

if you want to do a high score run you'll most likely need to use white stake plasma to get anywhere

[keen pilot]

You were saying?

[simple hull]

that being said i would personally recommend completionist first

[quick cloak]

i can barely get deaths, fools let alone get seal editions

[simple hull]

pog

[tired hemlock]

sell brainstorm!

unless you've ecto'd

[pastel hatch]

generally speaking when you get baron mime going with gold cards you should have abundance of money to roll for these

[quick cloak]

there shud be a mutation edition for a new stake that has a rly low chance to invert effects

so x mult is divide mult

ultra terrorist balatro

🤫🤫🤫

[quick cloak]

fair enough yk

[cyan sparrow]

do you guys like the ride the bus joker

🚌

[pastel hatch]

anyway 33/150 stickers

[tired hemlock]

baron mime also needs money to deck fix for in the first place. my advice is to prioritize long term economy over short term strength/deck fixing unless you need it at that exact moment

[simple hull]

in the right context

[pastel hatch]

its really good, do i like it? meh

[tired hemlock]

strong for gold stake runs but i love face cards lol

[pastel hatch]

well you kinda spam gold cards and hope you see mime

[simple hull]

also a sock idol build is better while getting the deck ready for baron mime and then pivoting

[cyan sparrow]

these are fair takes

[tired hemlock]

to get gold cards you need tarots... you need at least some money in the first place

[tired hemlock]

yeah thats been established as the new route for naneinf, etc.

[quick cloak]

its okay if i start w it, bur if im alrdy on face build, im not giving it up

[pastel hatch]

ok but its not like you have no money

[white flint]

Imagine a hand so situational it’s not even in game

That could be 4oak flush with four fingers

[quick cloak]

wha

[simple hull]

it works too, thats how i got mine

[tired hemlock]

yeah im just saying to advice to do a baron mime build with gold cards isn't the most helpful

[lost vault]

insane synergy :clueless:

[swift lodge]

gg

[thick orchid]

I like that astronaut joker. Dont have a clue of its name.

[quick cloak]

what was the build

[tired hemlock]

its especially good because most people in the middle of the run do not have enough cards in their deck to really use mail in rebate to it's fullest potential unless they get dna early

[white flint]

It’s astronaut joker prtty sure 😭

[quick cloak]

space joker?

[swift lodge]

didnt naneinf due to not finding an ecto, but got far because of retcon and negative invis

[white flint]

I suck

[quick cloak]

the 1/4 to upgrade hand?

[slow iris]

it's called Space Joker

[swift lodge]

baron mime, negative troubador, 3bp 2bs

no ecto used

negative invis

[white flint]

Also throwback is the one that u have to skip ante’s for it to gain mult right ?

[tired hemlock]

yeah non-legendary naneinf's usually choke due to vouchers or spectrals as opposed to jokers

[swift lodge]

i had every voucher, except the handsize vouchers

plus not finding any ectoplasm after omen globe

i had 14k $

[tired hemlock]

most likely one of the least used mult jokers. i feel it should get buffed becuase it can't out scale a lot of the scaling mult jokers and the downside is too big

[swift lodge]

so rolling down wouldnt have been an issue

[tired hemlock]

yeah hence the voucher OR spectrals

[thick orchid]

How do i get the plasma deck?

[white flint]

I think I accidentally won my 1st balatro run with it lol

[heady narwhal]

win a run on blue stake or higher

[white flint]

Beat blue stake

[tired hemlock]

it can be good for low stake runs or if you're attempting to unlock the joker that requires you to play very few rounds lol

i wish it was .5 instead of .25 but im no balancing expert

[white flint]

I mean i was very knew to the game

[thick orchid]

Man blue is after green or later?

[white flint]

I still am tho

[heady narwhal]

blue is the fifth stake of eight

[thick orchid]

Fml

[white flint]

Less than 100 hours in game 😭

[cloud sinew]

buffing skips directly would be a better fix imo

[heady narwhal]

i think it's very undertuned as-is. apparently it used to be x0.5 but not retroactive

and before that it was a completely different effect

[thorn dew]

yellow deck might be the best deck

[cloud sinew]

blue is the goat, yellow is a close 2nd

[tired hemlock]

yeah if you won the game with it, thats good. its objectively not a very good joker, but just because a jokers not overall good doesnt mean its wrong to use it if it works lol

[tired hemlock]

yeah overall i think this might work too

[white flint]

I thought it was good so I used it

[thorn dew]

While I am a red deck and zodiac deck enjoyer, yellow deck is just too reliable

sometimes way too reliable

[pastel hatch]

kinda why i dont like it

no fun

[thorn dew]

I didn't say it was my favourite

I said it was the best one

[pastel hatch]

yeah i know

[keen pilot]

Already on pace to blow past my previous high score

[thorn dew]

Zodiac is my favourite personally

[tired hemlock]

i would usually use yellow stake to play the first round on a new stake to understand it's challenges while being able to survive economically

[pastel hatch]

my fav deck is black

[cloud sinew]

I hate black deck so much

[pastel hatch]

LMAO

[thorn dew]

mate, you're on pace for naneinf damn

[cloud sinew]

the shit you need to do to survive is insane

[tired hemlock]

im fine with black deck on lower stakes but its annoying af on higher stakes

[white flint]

Local thunk should add more math jokers fr fr

[simple hull]

i golded it and never looked back

[tired hemlock]

lmao real

[thorn dew]

same

[cloud sinew]

prime polly :3

[pastel hatch]

my only gold stake for now, going for c++ on black deck only

[cloud sinew]

same

[simple hull]

wtf

[cloud sinew]

so i can be a better hater

[pastel hatch]

ive been enjoying it a lot

though only 33/150 for now

[simple hull]

how much have yall played this game to force yourself into that

[white flint]

I really want pi joker

[thorn dew]

painted at least lets do funny mime shanenigans, high stakes black deck is just misery for me

[pastel hatch]

i just like the deck

[white flint]

I made 3 versions of js pi joker 😭I nigh be delusional local think will add ts

[tired hemlock]

oooh what would it do?

[cloud sinew]

1000 hours

[simple hull]

i dont even have 1/4 of that

[white flint]

It might be bad but it’s prob best of all 3 so every hand without a face card and a pair gives +31 chips for each card scored

[pastel hatch]

so far ive been using mostly strong jokers so its been really fun (i also had one initial gold stake win but i didnt ss)

as to hours i have like 100? if we include what ive played on mobile

[white flint]

Dang I have like 70 smth and haven’t beaten purple stake yet

😭

[keen pilot]

What other vouchers do I need?

Retcon ofc

Anything else?

[simple hull]

money tree

would help

[pastel hatch]

need? not really

[white flint]

Is ts how gluttony looks in balatro

[pastel hatch]

theyre going for high score from the looks of it

so i mean

[keen pilot]

No, pretty sure that's how it looks like

[cloud sinew]

fuck... do i skip or golden joker, squoker at 0

[keen pilot]

(Yes, I did just roll the shop several times just to find this joker)

[pastel hatch]

id pick up gold joker cause no sticker

[cloud sinew]

Stickering is not the priority

winning is

you cant sticker without winning

[pastel hatch]

oh youre streaking?

[simple hull]

that is hilarious

[pastel hatch]

i mean you need moneys

gold joker isnt perfect but its ight

[cloud sinew]

yeah

[white flint]

Btw how long does it take for balatro to become a grind and not a funny little game you play now and then

Like in hours of playtime

[pastel hatch]

its a game

if you dont have fun dont play

imo

so its always a funny little game

[simple hull]

until you start on c++ or Ante 39 grinding

but then you find ways to make it more fun

[tired hemlock]

i mean its decent econ i dont see any econ jokers in your roster but that depends on how safe your score is

[simple hull]

like ghost deck

[pastel hatch]

?? holy

canio is funny

[white flint]

I mean rn ig im trying to get higher stakes on most of my decks

[cloud sinew]

I made it out of hell

[pastel hatch]

i need to lock in cause i dont wanna lose a legendary gold sticker

[hasty onyx]

I think you good bro

[pastel hatch]

these are rare

[simple hull]

first deck id recommend would be getting checkered unlocked, its one of the easier to use to get others unlocked and a good way to practice econ management with decent deck fixing right out the gate

[cloud sinew]

Ive never found it to be

[simple hull]

it was my first gold stake

[cloud sinew]

but im autistic and balatro is a special interest lol

[white flint]

I got all decks but the orange stake win one

[patent sail]

Erratic

[keen pilot]

Huh.. that's gotta be pretty lucky then, that I got all the necessary vouchers, I only did one skip (with a double tag)

[tired hemlock]

wow thats really lucky wtf

[white flint]

Prob gonna do smth like getting black stake on all my deck before going for golden stake or smth

[keen pilot]

I'll be sure to get the seed when I'm done with it!

[cloud sinew]

Holy shit

im saved

bye rebate i love you

nevermind!

[pastel hatch]

i died ante 4 cause i couldnt find a way to nuke my face cards

unlucky

[tired hemlock]

yeah canio can be really strong, but if you cant fing a hanged man, glass or trading card ur kinda cooked cause it wont scale

[white flint]

I remember the 1st time I got a legendary joker I got canio and perkeo

And I could find a way to nuke face cards

I was new to the game then trust

[keen pilot]

Here, I got the seed!

[worldly aspen]

i dont know what to get for jokers now

[white flint]

I just realised I’m sometimes so fucking stupid

I forgot golden ratio and Fibonacci are basicly the same thing

[worldly aspen]

i need 2 more jokers and michelle went extinct

[glossy mortar]

If you want an absolutely insane seed. Here it is a VERY early Perkeo and on ante 7 you get to go back in time as soon as you get Trib. There was also a glass joker that I should have taken early on.

[pastel hatch]

for consistency its supernova right? (i just really want an excuse to press spectral)

[glossy mortar]

I don’t go past ante 8 but I’m sure if you knew how to abuse perkeo you could do it.

[tired hemlock]

you'll get an immolate trust

it'll kill all your facecards twin

GAMBLE

[quick cloak]

uys whats rhe best deck for blue stake

[worldly aspen]

i agree but i might be biased

[pastel hatch]

honestly not the worst

couldve been much much worse

[quick cloak]

supernova cannot be this fun bro

not one blueprint

how

[tired hemlock]

powerfull ass joker on gold stake

[worldly aspen]

look

[tired hemlock]

rare

[tired hemlock]

harder to find

[worldly aspen]

blueprint

[quick cloak]

mult final boss

[pastel hatch]

i love card sharp

[worldly aspen]

i have 2 joker slots do i take the tribe

[tired hemlock]

looks really fun to play

[quick cloak]

ante7 eye would like a word

[pastel hatch]

i did die with it like 3 times

[tired hemlock]

😭

[quick cloak]

same

[tired hemlock]

blackboard never betrays you twin

thats why you stay loyal to that chalk

[quick cloak]

also my ques

[pastel hatch]

it does though

[quick cloak]

whats the best deck for blue stake

red wud undo it but its not that great in general

shud i js go black again

[pastel hatch]

any deck?

like

[tired hemlock]

very rarely

[pastel hatch]

yellow deck is prob the easiest

[tired hemlock]

like if it betrays you its kinda ur fault

[pastel hatch]

or checkered

[pastel hatch]

well early on it can betray you

[tacit quail]

so disappointed this is perishable, the potential synergy 😢 i take it anyways just in case i get 3 planets in next shop

• i need scoreys

[tired hemlock]

it honestly might be worth it financially anyways take it twin

[pastel hatch]

with 0 planets and 0 gold?

[tacit quail]

yes its worth

i have 2$ already just a couple more

im buying the planets anyway

[south palm]

Who i sacrifice

[tired hemlock]

i dunno what he had

[tacit quail]

u can decipher it on the screenshot

[heady narwhal]

baron

[tired hemlock]

does bro need certificate of enrollment

[tacit quail]

either way it was worth

[heady narwhal]

does bro need the 2nd best value generator in the game

[tacit quail]

i made 5 back with 2+3 then sold it for 4

so net equal + free 10 mult

[tired hemlock]

unless you just got it, you've generated value

[worldly aspen]

i have been building towards hearts the entire time waiting

[pastel hatch]

that is NOT net equal

[tacit quail]

it is

[pastel hatch]

intrest

[tacit quail]

i paid for planets for xmult

[pastel hatch]

is a thing

[tacit quail]

shut up interest i play vagabond now just for you

credit card

[tired hemlock]

i dont know their build but it only really counts as the second best value generator in the game if you have hologram

[pastel hatch]

vagabond isnt bad

[tacit quail]

i know its great

[heady narwhal]

i don't think that's true

[tacit quail]

exactly

[tired hemlock]

vagabond is objectively good but i hate being poor lol

[tired hemlock]

what would you sell then?

[heady narwhal]

certificate is run-winning on its own

especially if you get it early

[keen pilot]

monis

[south palm]

Right i sold it

Now what so i do 🥀

[heady narwhal]

i just saw that the screenshot was from ante 10. probably still would sell baron. don't like it

[tired hemlock]

whats ur build

[tidal pawn]

Hmm I wonder

[tired hemlock]

no i mean what does their deck look like

[tidal pawn]

Oh alr

Sorry

[tidal pawn]

Why are there so many numbered hearts 💔

[keen pilot]

BOO!!

[tired hemlock]

yall r so rude on here 😭

[tacit quail]

any play here

u see the vision with ankh hex

but

i dont want these

[tidal pawn]

I was tryna make a funny 😔

[south palm]

I dunno 😭

[tired hemlock]

you kinda want to commit to either photochad/retriggers and scoring or baron

[tidal pawn]

Don't mind me just stealing that image tyty

[south palm]

Yeah

[pastel hatch]

temperance value or fun value...

[south palm]

I'm selling constellation

Thats it

[keen pilot]

Thankfully I rerolled into The Arm lol

[tired hemlock]

GAMBLE GAMBLE YOU'LL GET AN IMMOLATE

[tired hemlock]

WAIT

no

[south palm]

Oh

[pastel hatch]

man

[tired hemlock]

what is it at?

[tidal pawn]

ETERNAL EGG 🗣️

[tired hemlock]

fawk man

[keen pilot]

-2 high card levels 😔

[south palm]

2.7x

[pastel hatch]

its not bad

[south palm]

Not so much

[tidal pawn]

Sorry I ate em 😔

[tired hemlock]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i guess you can sell it

[south palm]

Ok

[tired hemlock]

always take an eternal egg

why cant i send gifs in this server

[keen pilot]

Yooo, this is soo lucky!!

[tired hemlock]

ADD IT TO THE PILE

[tidal pawn]

Always buy the Nat negatives, even if they do absolutely nothing

[solid garden]

HELL YEAH

[keen pilot]

+1 to the pile

[tidal pawn]

Mmmmm, negative baron 🤤

[tired hemlock]

If you’re still on the run by ante 24 it’ll help you with the verdant leaf

[lost vault]

mmmm, negative zany joker 🤤

[keen pilot]

True, the only ones I haven't seen yet are acorn and leaf, both of which would be bad news if I had no negatives to sell x.x

Now I can reroll the acorn safely

Unless.. no, nevermind, I think I already saw a leaf in ante 8
Which was about 7 hours ago, before I had to make a pause lol

Serpent time!!
It just randomly showed up, I didn't roll for it yet lul

[tacit quail]

one of those runs where i play a whole lot of anything

[rugged ingot]

Negative jimbo is carrying This run

[keen pilot]

ikr

[tacit quail]

i would love if family showed up rn

i need the sticker

[quick cloak]

negative swuare joker

we are playing pair again ig

[mystic sequoia]

Need some pants

[quick cloak]

holy

so many blueprints and still no building

💔💔

get it

[quick cloak]

fr

[keen pilot]

lol

[tacit quail]

rip double eternal poly golden joker

[mystic sequoia]

Tips for painted deck?

[keen pilot]

pretty goood

So what do I do now? Keep hoarding money, look for retcon and after ante 24 start looking for burglar?

[eager summit]

i'm winning this run, aren't i?

[wicked seal]

balatro balatrez

[fervent wolf]

Me mentioned

[tranquil steppe]

Skipping everything from ante 4 onward just so BP wouldn’t expire worked out

[keen pilot]

Also, this is just bothering me xP

A single non-red seal

[tender bone]

Have fun trying to destroy it

[old flax]

It seems the most logical option here right?

[keen pilot]

Thanks, got both on the very next hand lmao

[tacit quail]

nooo come on

[old flax]

i didn't mean to modify the message

[rotund igloo]

Vessel sucks!

[keen pilot]

Hmm, probably sell chad?

[old flax]

funny how i thought the literal same thing in the exact moment

blueprint on the hack so every card can retrigger 2 times, wich means +cat values so yeah i think it's the best here

[tacit quail]

crazy space rn

wtf he keeps doing it

Huh

[tender bone]

Why does everyone love pairs so much

[tacit quail]

im lv8 pair in 10 pairs space joker

0 planets

???

when the fire

[keen pilot]

You can reliably draw it with no deck fixing, and it better scales in chips than high card

[old flax]

i only need a red seal goddamn, i:ve literally found 0 spectrals pack

and no useful red seals in the standards one

[solid garden]

spaceman the goat.

I love spaceman.

[tacit quail]

i <3 perishable spaceman that gave me lv8

[tender bone]

But how do you survive early on when you have no levels or broken jokers

[tacit quail]

4 pairs is good to scale

u play all 4 with a green joker or any scaler rtb etc

or even like you can just play them with space joker like i jus did

[tender bone]

Ah

[keen pilot]

Scaling chips and mult
Especially ones that scale with each hand played, like supernova, green joker, ride the bus, runner, and square joker

[tacit quail]

square goat

[tacit quail]

"pair"
"runner"

[keen pilot]

actually, idk why I mentioned runner

lol

[old flax]

tempting..

[solid garden]

our favorite pair joker

[old flax]

is the invisible worth?

[keen pilot]

Hmm, what would you sell tho? You'd probably have to sell the dice simply to avoid it being hit and even then you're not guaranteed to score better after invis

[old flax]

i mean best case scenario it's hack or blueprint, worst ofc cat and bloodstone

if i had a ecto maybe yes

[eager summit]

seems to be the case

[old flax]

ofc i found now the ecto

[eager summit]

the seed, for anyone who wants

[unreal jolt]

What do I do, I need my jokers

[old flax]

i found a legendary before a red seal😭😭😭

how

perkeo

are we deadass

[unreal jolt]

If it makes you feel any better I went 12 runs before ever getting my first blue seal, and 8 of those I was actively looking for it

[eager summit]

a bit late for you, buddy

[unreal jolt]

[unreal jolt]

Seriously someone help

[old flax]

best run i've ever had

wait why it didn't update my score on the stats what

[unreal jolt]

Too high

[pliant wadi]

holy shit after 200+ hours I just saw cavendish go extinct

now im fucked

[keen pilot]

I don't wanna talk about it..

[old flax]

it show the "high score" mark

for me it doesn't, is it for the mods?

[keen pilot]

Def not mods, idk why it doesn't show for you

[tawdry rock]

please get a higher score as in one more e than e167 or one less e

[old flax]

💔💔

[tawdry rock]

preferably two more e's

[keen pilot]

does naneinf sound good?

[tawdry rock]

yep

no numbers at all

love it

[honest dawn]

What I do?

[tawdry rock]

what are you hoping invis copies

and we ARE talking about the rebate here right

[keen pilot]

Invis is very unlikely to do good here, unless you sell out of everything except for baron, mime, and copy jokers

[tawdry rock]

couldnt hurt to try

[keen pilot]

With rebate you can hoard a bunch of money, find a showman and hopefully find a blueprint/brainstorm

[tawdry rock]

we are all gamblers here after all

[keen pilot]

I rerolled from the spade boss into the hook..

[tawdry rock]

theres like a non zero chance it copies a mime or a photo

[honest dawn]

I'm not selling the idol and photo, no way, it's an X16

[tawdry rock]

also why the hell do you have baron mime and an idol + photo

[honest dawn]

I think I'm safe with rebate

[keen pilot]

cuz nat negatives ig

[tawdry rock]

are you typing a college essay

[keen pilot]

yes

[tawdry rock]

oh ok go on

holy shit youre still typing

[keen pilot]

I was on a nearly perfect run as well, had almost all the vouchers needed with only 1 skip, 4 blueprints thanks to a showman and an invis, hoarded almost 6k of money
And the only piece missing was the retcon voucher..
And it wasn't even The Plant that killed me! D:

[tawdry rock]

a hook is better than all your cards being debuffed

rerolling was the right move

[keen pilot]

most cards*
had gold cards in heart suit
but there was much too much steel

[simple jacinth]

I decided to play the winning run out and crash the bus

Still 66k

[keen pilot]

I probably could've also used those 6k to find something in the place of DNA, like a bean.. But instead I did nothing!!

[grand pulsar]

I already have 6 levels in flush house and I probably should stick to my guns but also... the flush 5 with four polychromes is so tempting

[tawdry rock]

you couldve probably made all your hearts steel and red seal with that 6k

[calm lily]

glorious run, only thing that held me back was no antimatter/ second ecto

sad

☹️

now to sulk in a corner and reminisce for a few days

[blissful fog]

Yea lack of vouchers can fk up your high score runs especially if you're going naneinf

[calm lily]

yep

i was and like

i had blank

at the begining

antimatter didnt wanna show

[cloud sinew]

you dont even need to be on rich get richer to score 0 points

because psychic can appear ante 1

[wheat olive]

i got naninf on my ios phone but it crushes over over again and my highscore went back to 0 🥹

[blissful fog]

Yea you need to complete your joker setup b4 ante 24

[blissful fog]

Normal

[calm lily]

worst thing was i kept seeing brainstorm

[cloud sinew]

highscore being set to 0 is normal

[burnt drift]

im here cuz im bored

[calm lily]

i just needed another slot

and i didnt have the kings so i needed to keep dna

[blissful fog]

Unfortunate

[calm lily]

myeah
