[tawdry rock]

thats his name dont wear it out

[cyan sparrow]

I just had an interesting idea, what if they crossed stardew valley with balatro

balatro valley

[foggy dome]

Mid ass build

[honest dawn]

Burglar negative natural

[mystic sequoia]

Almost the first successful 8ball run in history

[fervent wolf]

Had me tho >_<

[cosmic sun]

I see mult econ and xmult

and the goat bbc

[fervent wolf]

YES!!! I am the goat UwU

[foggy dome]

Yea i guess it was just kinda boring

[primal grotto]

i just beat jokerless by getting really lucky and with tarot cards and lucky triggers

[rich yoke]

is this enough jokers

[tranquil steppe]

Mmmmmm anaglyph

[rich yoke]

oh no whatever shall I do

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[foggy dome]

If you need to ask, no it's not

[sharp plank]

17 jokers lmao

[foggy dome]

Bloodstone is ass without oops all 6

Its the worst kind of scoring

Inconsistent

[glossy mortar]

I understand now why people say 90% of this game is spent pressing new game. I’ve been trying to do Green Stake Black Deck now for 2 hours and have finally realized that it’s not possible to actually beat it unless you get an extremely lucky free joker.

[fervent wolf]

Meow >_<

[sharp plank]

But with oops it becomes one of the best

[sharp plank]

pets u

[foggy dome]

Sure but you have to take into account that bloodstone oops is 2 joker slots

[naive heath]

skill issue

[fervent wolf]

Mroww!! jump back I do not like pets ><

[naive heath]

so is most Joker combos

[tranquil steppe]

Idol has entered the chat

[foggy dome]

Idol can be made consistent

[tranquil steppe]

“SpongeBob is a bad combo”

“HoloCert takes up 2 spaces so it’s arse”

[foggy dome]

You dont pick up an idon with a default 52 deck

[sharp plank]

Oops enables more than bloodstone

[foggy dome]

True enough, but it opens up few scoring options

Does make a lot of econ jokers incredible though

[sharp plank]

Sorry (couldn’t resist because I love catgirls)

[tranquil steppe]

Which makes it extra ass

[fervent wolf]

Meow! Is fine~ ×_×

[foggy dome]

But if you pick it up when your deck is all 1 card then idol is just

Free gigascoring

[tranquil steppe]

Now meow meow is a good joker

[foggy dome]

Idol is thus a situational joker of sorts

[sharp plank]

I❤️lucky cat

[tranquil steppe]

Yes. So .0001% of the time it’s useful lol

[tranquil steppe]

Same

[fervent wolf]

Always has been (insert astronaut gif)

[foggy dome]

If you focus a lot on econ and deck fixing you can get it done most times in at least white stake

[sharp plank]

Oops lucky cat bloodstone paredolia parking my beloved

[foggy dome]

Oops Space man my beloathed

The card says 1 in 4

That should turn into 2 in 4

[primal dragon]

How can i make it so i can block a joker from appearin

[foggy dome]

The game cannot fool me

Spaceman is 1 in 50

[sharp plank]

Fuck the wheel

[foggy dome]

Unless you get it to 4 in 4 spaceman does nothing

[sharp plank]

Wheel has worse odds

[foggy dome]

Wheel doesnt have odds

Its a pallate cleanser for fool cards

It clears up the leftover gunk in your fool card compartment

[tranquil steppe]

Lucky card cash triggers more than space dude

[sharp plank]

In my 200 hours of playing this game I’ve never gotten polychrome from the wheel

[magic vessel]

When i want banana to wilt, it persists, deciding to corner chair me instead

[foggy dome]

Ive gotten it one or twice

[glossy mortar]

I wish there was a faster way to restart the game.

[magic vessel]

Install the brainstorm mod

[foggy dome]

What method are you using

[glossy mortar]

Like having to tap menu and new game every time sucks.

[sharp plank]

Hold down the r key

[magic vessel]

Oh thats a feature

[foggy dome]

You dont have to yeah. Hold down r

[glossy mortar]

This game dosen’t support keyboard controls.

[cosmic sun]

to every vampire hater, pass the ball if you ain't gonna play

[foggy dome]

What

[magic vessel]

Now ante 15 it

[foggy dome]

Are you playing on mobile

[cosmic sun]

🤢

[serene forge]

makes a trash decision
doesn't even get punished for it
still complains

[foggy dome]

Okay bud what's the vampire at. Come clean

[cosmic sun]

"help my steak is too juicy"

[foggy dome]

I bet his ass isnt even 3x

[cosmic sun]

3.5x

[foggy dome]

Damn

[serene forge]

lmao

[foggy dome]

Did you have a golden ticket at some point

[serene forge]

you really think green joker is clearing gold stake by itself

[cosmic sun]

53 grimbo and I started discarding to utilize purple seals to leverage more vamprie scaling

[serene forge]

super blunder

[cosmic sun]

and eating devils

[sharp plank]

Shitty anti synergy

[cosmic sun]

Anyhow when you see a route to win you take it

[cosmic sun]

Not really

It's only anti synergy if Grimbo is at 0

[foggy dome]

Am i just that bad at vampire gaming? Every time i try i cant even get him over 2x before cavendish shows up

[sharp plank]

You lose mult because of the purple seals

[foggy dome]

And by then i cant justify keeping thr vampire

[cosmic sun]

Gaining xmult is better there lol

[serene forge]

53 fucking mult

you don't need more

lmfao

[cosmic sun]

A purple seal is potential vampire food

And mult has diminishing returns alone past ante 5

[serene forge]

green joker says -1 mult per discard

[sharp plank]

Get Midas mask+paredolia and/or Medusa

[serene forge]

not lose all your mult and die by discarding

[foggy dome]

Tf is medusa

I aint ever seen anything called medusa

[serene forge]

I mean cavendish is literally like top 5 so not really a fair comparison

[serene forge]

probably meant marble joker

[sharp plank]

The joker that adds stone cards

[cosmic sun]

Vamp is not S tier but people are dumb for not taking it sometimes lol

[foggy dome]

Marble joker

[serene forge]

pareidolia is kinda crap you don't need it

just deckfix better

[foggy dome]

Marble joker got my ass thru my first win in balatro

[serene forge]

yea

[foggy dome]

Love that guy

[cosmic sun]

Marble is good, maybe a little hard carried by Holo existing

[foggy dome]

Yeah it was holo marble joker

[sharp plank]

Marble certificate holo my beloved

[foggy dome]

If it wasnt the first it was one of the first

[sharp plank]

Just play high card mfs

[cosmic sun]

Anyhow if you wanna feed vampire then open them tarot packs, get some purple seals

Or any value generation

[foggy dome]

I say this cuz i remember it being the first but im actually not sure if marble joker and holo are available from the start

[sharp plank]

I just pressed the unlock all button so idk

[silver turtle]

jfcwtf

[honest dawn]

F

I didn't get a bean

[cosmic sun]

[honest dawn]

I had a negative burglar; if I managed to do it, I'd definitely do the bug.

[cosmic sun]

Someone is gonna draw Jimbo like Pennywise in a bubble bath now

[rich yoke]

yeah free cosmetic on the 20th of feb

[cosmic sun]

iykyk

[naive crystal]

Awe man:( my fav people aren’t in chat

[cloud swan]

is this good for my 3rd day owning the game?

[lost vault]

madness

[sharp plank]

Holy fuck

[sharp plank]

Skinky!!!!

[lost vault]

wasup

[sharp plank]

pets u

[lost vault]

mrrph~

:3

[cloud swan]

is that a bad Holy fuck or a good Holy fuck

[sharp plank]

Good holy fuck

[cloud swan]

🎉

[lost vault]

not even naneinf smh my head

[atomic spruce]

shake my head my head

[sharp plank]

I haven’t even gotten a e score yet

[atomic spruce]

it’s okay

[cloud swan]

i could not for my life get a red seal 💔

[atomic spruce]

i believe in you

[slender creek]

when is fortnite getting a jimbo skin

[atomic spruce]

ts beautiful

[lost vault]

darn

[atomic spruce]

missing red seal and poly tho

(the kings)

[cloud swan]

I KNOW 💔

[lost vault]

did u not copy dna with the blueprint for the handsize

[cloud swan]

i did

but that was like my 4th hand

[sharp plank]

She could have taken an ecto too

[cloud swan]

whats ecto?

[dreamy creek]

i love throwback

[sharp plank]

Ectoplasm

[cloud swan]

what does ectoplasm do

[sharp plank]

It’s a spectral card that makes one of your joker’s negative in exchange for losing hand size

[heady narwhal]

lose the game

[cloud swan]

oh yeah i think i took one of those on an earlier ante and thats what made my king negative

i dont remember

baron*

barons the king mult guy right

[sharp plank]

Yeah

[cloud swan]

yeah

[sharp plank]

1.5x per king in hand

[atomic spruce]

😭😭

[lost vault]

?

[atomic spruce]

baron mime combo is goated

[gray plaza]

Ever seen this much money and hand size before

[atomic spruce]

im crine

[lost vault]

ok?

[atomic spruce]

OHMYGOD

[cloud swan]

how do you get this much handsize?

[cyan sparrow]

here are two jokers i don't really know what to do with them

[sharp plank]

He’s a cute femcatboy I couldn’t resist

[atomic spruce]

left one is bunyons

afaik

[atomic spruce]

i guess????

[cloud swan]

WE all love the left one

[sharp plank]

Splash is situational imo

[gray plaza]

Hitting the bean bug about 6 times

[atomic spruce]

yea

[cloud swan]

i see

[atomic spruce]

not something u would use often

[cyan sparrow]

what about Showman?

[sharp plank]

Should I explain how it works

[cursive crater]

showman is even more situational

[cloud swan]

oh yeah is it better to have blueprint on the mime or baron? im assuming mime if the kings have like steel poly whatever

[gray plaza]

Makes Jokers, Spectrals, Tarots and Planets appear multiple times
Basically if you have, say, Blueprint and Showman, Blueprint can appear again

[sharp plank]

Pretty good if you want a specific joker copied but invis is better

[cyan sparrow]

I didn't know that, that is cool

[sharp plank]

You should have an even number of barons and mimes. Count steel as a baron and red seal as a mime

[gray plaza]

Another thing people may not know, take the BP example, if you find a Blueprint while already having one and you sell the one you have and showman, Blueprint can still appear again

I don't normally recommend doing this though

[trim violet]

eu sou o unico br aqui?

[cloud swan]

can you explain this more i dont get it

[gray plaza]

You want scoring and trigger effects to be as equal as possible

For example

[cloud swan]

yeah okay thats what i thought then

[sharp plank]

So basically if you have steel kings and no red seals copy the mime

[cloud swan]

maybve

[gray plaza]

3x Baron (BP, Baron, Steel)
3x triggers (initial trigger, red seal, mime)

[fervent wolf]

Meow nya >_<

[sharp plank]

Hey little kitty

[fervent wolf]

Hai :3

[cloud swan]

ohhhhhh

[sharp plank]

Wanna be friends

[vast delta]

we love to see scores in the millions on ante four

[cloud swan]

because the red seal will re-trigger the baron but the mime wont?

[vast delta]

photochad peak

[cloud swan]

not the mime*

[trim violet]

oh my god

[heavy heron]

ahh don’t worry, you’re learning!

[sharp plank]

Also that display name is crazy

[cloud swan]

I thought long and hard

it was a real brainchild

is

[sharp plank]

Lmao

[cloud swan]

was jan 30 yesterday or the day before

[fervent wolf]

I don't know you that well >.<

[heavy heron]

the day before

[fervent wolf]

Sowwy

3:

[heavy heron]

actually it was the day before the day before yesterday

[sharp plank]

That’s ok we can always get to know each other

[cloud swan]

yeah okay so if i bought balatro on the 30th its been 3 days

[sharp plank]

Np

[fervent wolf]

~<

[vast delta]

shoot shoot shoot shoot

[hasty onyx]

I HATE TWO PAIR BRO

[vast delta]

praying for a luchador in this trying time

[hasty onyx]

DO YOUR JOB

[sharp plank]

It’s how I won my first run

Two pair the goat

[simple hull]

lowkey might be chilling with cavendish and bs

[cloud swan]

who up flushing it

[vast delta]

mmmmmaybbeee

But that's only going to get me around 32,000

[sharp plank]

I also used to play a lot of flushes

[cloud swan]

the best hand objectively is full house and thats a fact

[vast delta]

(I just played a non-face card flush (the hand I've been playing) to see what it scored, and got around 16,000 without copying the Cavendish)

[cloud swan]

full house is ball

[hasty onyx]

How does stuntman expect you to get 100 mil in one hand without a seed

[tranquil steppe]

Or a mistaaaaaa bones

[vast delta]

truth

[tranquil steppe]

There are ways

[hasty onyx]

I get that its possible but to the average person thats mental

[tranquil steppe]

I agree

[sharp plank]

So are trans women. And catgirls

[hasty onyx]

Allthat for a joker that isnt even that good

[tranquil steppe]

I remember that one being insane and involved glass and steel redseals and retriggers

[sharp plank]

And I can’t forget my gf who is neither

[tranquil steppe]

Kinda like satellite

[hasty onyx]

RONG

[heady narwhal]

?? stuntman is great

[wintry ice]

250 chips with a manageable cost

[heady narwhal]

+250 chips is higher at base than most runners, square jokers, and castles in ante 8

[vast delta]

alas ):

[light brook]

think of the hand size cost though and how much that limits build potential

[cloud swan]

it must be complicated to be in a relationship with a sphere

[fringe nebula]

o7

[wintry ice]

do you think people who think just reacting is an argument will be able to realise that mult is short for multiplier

[light brook]

rip

[sharp plank]

Lmao

[heady narwhal]

90% of the time i'm playing pairs anyways so it's not a big deal

[sharp plank]

She’s legitimately amazing tho

[light brook]

oh fair enough if it works it works!

[heavy heron]

o?

[hasty onyx]

The plant is my opp bro

[vast delta]

fr fr

[heavy heron]

it seems i was pinged

[heady narwhal]

of course you lose blue seal & gold card value but the blue seals aren't very important when you have 250 free chips

[wintry ice]

consistency is a higher priority than potential

[fringe nebula]

picked eternal rental jimbo just to survive the earlygame lmao

[sharp plank]

Fuck the plant

[heavy heron]

it seems you've been planted..

[placid cave]

my brain can’t comprehend this sentence

[trim violet]

'

[sharp plank]

Lmao that’s crazy

[placid cave]

how is 250 free chip good

[heavy heron]

they're pointing out the fact that the -2 hand size means you have less space to hold gold cards/blue seals in your hand since it's so small... but the less blue seals isn't a big impact anyway because stuntman makes up for it in +250 chips

[heady narwhal]

no numbered glass card?

[fringe nebula]

250 chip IS good wdym

[heady narwhal]

more than enough chips to last through ante 8

[wintry ice]

because you can't take chips for granted

[light brook]

“how is free pizza good”

[hasty onyx]

Why would 250 chips not be good

[placid cave]

diabetes

[heavy heron]

99% of the time, planets are ONLY for chips

so 250 chips is a big deal

after all... there's only so many ways to get chips in this game consistently..

[placid cave]

Are we talking about plasma

[heavy heron]

planets being the only "consistent" way

[heady narwhal]

no

[tranquil steppe]

It’s aight

[placid cave]

yeah I don’t see it

[fringe nebula]

planets are meant to save joker slot instead of having to use it for +chip joker

[exotic pike]

photochad spotted

[wintry ice]

what do you think mult does

[light brook]

if a pizza salesman comes up to you and says “ay here’s a free pizza” you’re saying “no i’m concerned about my risk for diabetes”?

[sharp plank]

I’ve actually had a run with 2 hand size

[exotic pike]

i sitll havent beaten gold stake lol (red deck)

[hasty onyx]

Why do you type like an anime protagonist

[heavy heron]

i just like dots....................

[exotic pike]

someone's jealous they aren't a part of the main cast

everyone knows nurturyy is the main protagonist

[placid cave]

How the hell does the salesman know my address

[heady narwhal]

you need both mult and chips to score any meaningful number of points . since that's how multiplication works

[heavy heron]

thank you

someone's finally saying it

[exotic pike]

how DO i win gold stake on red deck btw

[light brook]

heh… wouldn’t you like to know… thinks to himself darn side characters…

[lunar zealot]

Howdy chat

[placid cave]

im kind of a mult and xmult guy

[heady narwhal]

play pairs

[fringe nebula]

play pairs

[heavy heron]

you keep trying!

[exotic pike]

I TRY AND IT NO WORK

[fringe nebula]

get blue seals

[light brook]

he’s going door to door selling free pizza

[heavy heron]

and don't listen to that mad man talking about pairs!

[lunar zealot]

Why do so many people dismiss +chips lmao

[heady narwhal]

this doesn't make sense to me

[exotic pike]

I HAD CHICOT AT ONE POINT AND STILL DIED

[lunar zealot]

I feel like it's such a bad way to think about the game

[wintry ice]

and what value do they use as a base?

[sharp plank]

What’s this seasons theme then?

[heavy heron]

flushes

[wintry ice]

it surely isn't colored blue

[tranquil steppe]

I lost my leg to the beetus

[placid cave]

Bro the chip is enough

[lunar zealot]

chips are half of your score dude

you need more if you wanna survive

[wintry ice]

the chips from what?

[exotic pike]

the flint is probably the worst boss blind to face in gold stake (for me at least)

[lunar zealot]

10 x 1000 = 20 x 500

I think

[placid cave]

planets and cards?

[exotic pike]

the plant isnt even that awful if you know what ur doing

[fringe nebula]

yep, the bane of relying on planet cards

[light brook]

I feel like the main reason people dismiss +chips is because it’s harder to scale due to the lack of xchips so people just ignore it entirely and get chips from planets

[lunar zealot]

chips are half your score

[wintry ice]

so this is assuming you're able to consistently buy or draw them

[lunar zealot]

it's why square runner castle bull and wee are great

[heavy heron]

ahh yeah, the more heavily reliant you are on planet cards, the more dangerous the flint gets

[wintry ice]

which frankly isn't the case

[placid cave]

i kinda do

[tranquil steppe]

.5x20000 = a billion doll hairs

[lunar zealot]

Anecdotal

[exotic pike]

i think another issue is i cant seem to find any good chip jokers

[heady narwhal]

are yoy consistently able to get a lot of the same planet?

[hasty onyx]

Literally what are you meant to do when all your jokers have something to do with face cards and 80% of cards in deck are face

[tranquil steppe]

Oh no not the anecdotes

[fringe nebula]

mmm money

[wintry ice]

"kind of"

[light brook]

wee bull and square are quite good for scaling fast

[tawdry rock]

balatro

[exotic pike]

you dont rely on a face build alone

[heady narwhal]

ideally you want to have 200+ base chips if you have no other chip sources imo

[hasty onyx]

True..

[exotic pike]

i havent found wee yet, but ive tried square and it no good

[cosmic sun]

People will underestimate anything until they reach higher difficulties

[heady narwhal]

so that's around 13 mercuries

[cosmic sun]

Then reality hits

[heavy heron]

well there's only like 5 scaling ones in the whole game, so that's not a surprise

[wintry ice]

and i'm assuming this is about the lower stakes that has no risks attatched to them

[heavy heron]

hence the importance of planets

[wintry ice]

like green for example

[tranquil steppe]

Square isn’t exactly what I’d call fast to scale

[light brook]

yeah it’s really only good with two pair and 4oak, so that’s fair if it’s not your build

[heavy heron]

stone joker, bull, runner, square joker, and wee

there's your 5 scaling chip jokers

[placid cave]

Ok maybe I’m just unimpressed with most chip generators because i had some good wee joker runs in the past

[exotic pike]

i think the issue is i get a good scalable mult, scalable chips and scalable xmult, but never all three in one run

[heavy heron]

so yea... either those or planets...

[light brook]

people be sleeping on square

[heavy heron]

or you somehow made an odd todd work

or scary face or smth

[cosmic sun]

Square is fast on the principle that pairs are optimal and hand scalers already ask that you play many pairs

[exotic pike]

square isnt bad per se, just difficult to set up esp in a gold stake run

i am NOT playing obelisk

[heady narwhal]

in my experience it's like

square: +16 chips per round
runner: +15 chips per round
castle: +18 chips per round
bull: +?????? chips per round

[tranquil steppe]

I think square gets the respect it deserves

[sharp plank]

Fuck obelisk

[cosmic sun]

Playing 4 cards per hand is like the easiest thing

[wintry ice]

comparing a chip joker with wee is like comparing an econ joker with rebate

[exotic pike]

castle is really solid

[tranquil steppe]

Runner can be more just saying

[placid cave]

and runner

[heady narwhal]

caveats:

• runner and castle can scale faster if you get synergies and deckfixing
• square is easier to do with grimbo and bus

[wintry ice]

or like any scaling xmult with yorick

[heavy heron]

exactly! just find a four fingers and play flushes!

[cosmic sun]

Also Obelisk is easy once you realize you're actually drawing from more than one hand

[light brook]

people say it scales too slow i think it scales decently enough

[tranquil steppe]

But I get what you’re saying

[exotic pike]

i had yorick at one point and still died in ante 6

i think i just genuinely suck at the game

[heavy heron]

oh yeah i forgot castle

wow

[cloud swan]

what if the balatro was the friends we made along the way

[heady narwhal]

keyword "can"

[cosmic sun]

ragebaiteth

[exotic pike]

i am on orange stake for checkered deck bc i do not like red deck

[heavy heron]

i just like flushes 🙄

[sharp plank]

Hell yeah

[fringe nebula]

red deck is like.... very standard tho?

[cosmic sun]

Runner is less consistent than Square

[heavy heron]

although i don't think anybody on the history of this game has had 4 fingers + square joker synergy

[exotic pike]

yeas but i like having hands or easier way to get ahead

[wintry ice]

oh hey speaking of obelisk

[cosmic sun]

Square on average will scale for next to nothing

[sharp plank]

Flushes are shit pun intended

[heavy heron]

if you don't find it early, true!

[wintry ice]

idk if taking it or mega buffoon would be better but

[heady narwhal]

only if you aren't trying

[heavy heron]

mega

[tranquil steppe]

This is the way

[wintry ice]

well i do need an additive mult source

[cosmic sun]

I mean effort

[heavy heron]

i mean

it's also ante 1 and you got an ice cream

[wintry ice]

and i get rebate

[cosmic sun]

Square no effort

[heavy heron]

so i can see the saving money play..

but i'd still go mega

[light brook]

well an obelisk is an obelisk but a buffoon pack could be anything! even an obelisk!

[wintry ice]

and a refund

[heavy heron]

and a yjummy misprint

[heady narwhal]

ah that makes more sense

[wintry ice]

well not in this situation since there's obelisk in the shop

[heavy heron]

wait you took the eternal rental riff raff AND went for mega?

i would've went one or the other

[light brook]

we missed the reference 😞 🥀

[tranquil steppe]

Permanent rental riff raff certainly was an uhhhhh choice

[fringe nebula]

let's go gambling!!!!!

[cosmic sun]

it's riff raff

[heavy heron]

you're right you're right

[heady narwhal]

a good one, yes

riff-raff is great

[exotic pike]

it is time

[fringe nebula]

riff raff is my favorite econ joker

[tranquil steppe]

lol today must be Opposite Day. He’s great at the beginning and once you get what you need you sell him

[exotic pike]

uh

[tranquil steppe]

Finally someone sees him as an econ joker. I’m not the only one

[fringe nebula]

how do you do this without showman

[heady narwhal]

the head start is enough to make up for the lost slot & econ later

[light brook]

gang is this modded

[cosmic sun]

If you're getting C++ you're gonna have to learn to play with less joker slots anyhow

[exotic pike]

n-no

[cosmic sun]

Anyhow the benefits of a joker can often outweigh eternal/rental

[tawdry rock]

this fucking happened to me too yesterday

[light brook]

showman was in their back pocket

[cosmic sun]

Even if the benefits are short term

[tawdry rock]

!!!

[exotic pike]

showman deck

[wintry ice]

icba to open his messages what is he saying

[cosmic sun]

Well even a short term benefit can keep you alive so

[wintry ice]

gg ez lmao

[cosmic sun]

REBATE

[cloud swan]

the nefarious no showman duplicate:

[exotic pike]

well my run is going great so far

[heavy heron]

BRO

[placid cave]

8 fingers

[heavy heron]

I WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW NOBODY GOES SQUARE MAN + FOUR FINGERS

[sharp plank]

Chicken jockey

[heavy heron]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHH

never seen before synergy

[cloud swan]

no

[heavy heron]

i love it

[wintry ice]

this does sound like it would work

[fringe nebula]

because it stinks

[wintry ice]

even if rebate is perishable

[heavy heron]

excuse me

speak for your own chipless runs!

guys look how awesome my cloud 9 run was can you clap for me

[exotic pike]

that is not supposed to happen

[fringe nebula]

i would even say that hanging chad is an econ joker honestly if you get gold seal, business card or golden ticket

[heavy heron]

what are those 3 jokers

[exotic pike]

idk

[tawdry rock]

wait is your game modded

[exotic pike]

n-no

[tawdry rock]

is that how four fingers reappeared

[heavy heron]

🙄

[exotic pike]

no this is the secret showman deck

[heavy heron]

it was obviously the showman earlier

[heavy heron]

oh even better

[exotic pike]

you need five showmen in one hand

to unlock the showman deck

[tawdry rock]

reasonable

[last wren]

what jokers/changes to build would benefit (im currently playing flush 5s, would it be worth switching to high card or no)

[fringe nebula]

what ante are you at

[wintry ice]

doubt you have the money to make the switch

[tranquil steppe]

I’m clapping. Fug the haters

[heavy heron]

thank you thank you

[last wren]

12

[heavy heron]

please please, it was nothing

[wintry ice]

hm

[tranquil steppe]

I do love me some constellation and glass play

[wintry ice]

i feel like i'd rather take the reroll

[heavy heron]

i meannn a duskkk or a photograph could be a good! i don't think it's a baron run considering it's 4 against 1

[tranquil steppe]

Poly red glass is so rare but so so so much fun

[last wren]

i just got a photograph lol, should i swap it off baron?

[heavy heron]

yes probably HAHA

because if you're making trib work, baron is doing nothing

and if you're making baron work

trib is doing nothing

so you gotta choose a route

[last wren]

in both respective builds, which has a higher potential?

[heavy heron]

i have no idea honestly

maybe trib?

i'm not an endless person

[last wren]

you think even with all steel kings?

[honest dawn]

Baron is always the run with the most potential.

[last wren]

alr thanks

[honest dawn]

Now, if you're playing Trivoulet because it's legendary and you're more excited about it, that's fine.

[wintry ice]

it's hard to make the switch to baron and steel with this kind of setup though

[honest dawn]

You can also do naneinf with trivoulet if you do the crimson bean glitch and get a lot of ectoplasm.

[last wren]

i got trib ante 2 so i just built around it 😭

[heavy heron]

yeah that's what i'm saying like

you can't pivot out at this point

you have a sock and chad and idol

[last wren]

is it possible to naneinf with my build or nah?

[heavy heron]

what deck are you on?

[last wren]

green

[wintry ice]

what ante is this

[heavy heron]

maybeeee not

[wintry ice]

oh absolutely not

[last wren]

12 currently

why does the deck change things?

[heavy heron]

most of the time you can't naneinf on a non-plasma deck

most of the time

[wintry ice]

plasma is basically mandatory for perkeoless/handsize bugless naneinf

[last wren]

oh really?

[heavy heron]

yes, plasma just

gets so much higher scores

it's incomparible

[last wren]

which ones plasma again?

[heavy heron]

the one called plasma deck

[wintry ice]

you basically need half the 0s on it

[dreamy creek]

nan inf is simple you just need 2.00x10^308 negative jimbos

[heavy heron]

or do you mean what it does?

[last wren]

i mean what does it do lol

[wintry ice]

balances chips and mult

[heavy heron]

well like

[dreamy creek]

yo plasma is goated

[wintry ice]

which basically squares the higher number if there's enough of a difference

[heavy heron]

it adds your chips and mult into one number and divides it in half, and multiplies it by itself

[fringe nebula]

this one

[wintry ice]

neat

[heavy heron]

so for example instead of 16 chips x 200 mult

16 + 200 = 216

then 216 / 2 = 108

108 chips x 108 mult (much higher)

[wintry ice]

and hermit into fool from overstock

[last wren]

would you say plasma is the easiest deck?

[heavy heron]

depends on your stake!

[fringe nebula]

on high stake the pivoting from chips to xmult is kinda tricky

[wintry ice]

yes on stakes lower than purple

[heavy heron]

like easy as in.. for endless? or surviving until ante 8?

[wintry ice]

no on purple or higher

[heavy heron]

if you mean endless, it's "easiest" yes

if you mean surviving until ante 8

no, not easy at all

[wintry ice]

well that's close

well that's just a win

[heavy heron]

i think you won as soon as hologram showed up

[fringe nebula]

why is hologram at leftmost instead of jj

[heavy heron]

they'll probably move it

[wintry ice]

i want to play more hands

[heavy heron]

probably doing some farming shenanigans

yup

[wintry ice]

so i need to score less

[fringe nebula]

fair

[heavy heron]

hehehehehehehh

this is like.. maybe the first time in months i made flowerpot work

[wintry ice]

i took a gold queen instead of a red seal 2

may i be stupid

[fringe nebula]

the last time i made flower pot work was thanks to vagabond

[heavy heron]

i made it work because of double hallucination

my god

hallucination is

slowly becoming my favorite joker

[wintry ice]

vagabond moment

[fringe nebula]

hallucination is great

[wintry ice]

hallucination is fun and good

[heavy heron]

like for a common

[wintry ice]

what a jackpot

[heavy heron]

it’s actually borderlining my favorite

[fringe nebula]

really good ability for a common joker yeah

[wintry ice]

flash card might stay at 24

[primal dragon]

What type of evil is this

[wintry ice]

well i probably need tor replace chad with this for economy's sake

[atomic trout]

In my dying battery...

[wintry ice]

an average negative skip

[primal dragon]

It was a natural

Fuck this game bro

[wintry ice]

i'm sure

it clearly doesn't say that it costs 0$

yea this works

oh shit

[primal dragon]

Be grateful

[primal rock]

Red seal ace of spades!?

[wintry ice]

this is the expected result of skipping 6 times in 1 run

[fringe nebula]

i forgot when was the last time i died to cerulean bell probably because i play pairs

[wintry ice]

@lunar zealot hi i think you'd like to see this

[tranquil steppe]

I skipped at least 10x in an earlier run and got the dub

[wintry ice]

oh boy it sure would be funny if the game gave me rebate

this sucks

i'll just take jupiter for survival

[lunar zealot]

Ive been pinged

[lunar zealot]

Ough yeah baby

[fringe nebula]

wrath gave me nat neg wee

[wintry ice]

well this is something

is runner nova worth it

[fringe nebula]

on abandoned deck too

[wintry ice]

(i used my fools on a mercury)

[fringe nebula]

maybe high card with occasional straight?

[wintry ice]

i think i could do with taking gros instead

[cursive lion]

NEGATIVE GREEN JOKER 🗣️

[wintry ice]

idk supernova runner always felt a bit clunky to me

purple guy

bruh

well this is good

the

[wicked warren]

it’s literally always him

it’s so crazy how every time i get a run like this that wins by threads it’s the violet vessel who screws it up

[unreal jolt]

Anyone feel like giving me some advice?

[manic zealot]

on?

[glad viper]

drugs

[unreal jolt]

What do I do

[cosmic sun]

america has a fucking fentanyl crisis

[unreal jolt]

I need all my jokers

[tranquil steppe]

Where have you been

[glad viper]

you kill the banana and GAMBLE

[unreal jolt]

Shut up, not a crisis if it's intentional

[manic zealot]

if you want it so bad, you sell banana

[serene forge]

2/2/26 balatrodle in 4

[unreal jolt]

I need the banana to destroy itself so I can get cave dihh

[cosmic sun]

Chat misses the Smiling Friends reference

[tranquil steppe]

The wut

[unreal jolt]

Wait can you still get th cavendish if you sell the Michel?

[pale wolf]

no

it has to extinct

[unreal jolt]

Didn't think so

So either a legendary which idk what they do, or cave dih

[primal epoch]

gross micheal my beloved

[pale wolf]

uh id def kill banan myself

[unreal jolt]

Cave dih my goat

[unreal jolt]

Why not, I only live twice

And I've already won

[primal epoch]

unconfirmed third bananna joker my king

[wicked warren]

12 thousand dude

i hate this

[unreal jolt]

Modded 4th banana the legend

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 8, blunders lmao

[primal epoch]

cave and dih

[pale wolf]

ok lemme try

[unreal jolt]

Hey

I got canio is that good

He looks trash

[manic zealot]

it's eh this late

[unreal jolt]

BecuSe I already destroyed all my face cards

Legit have like 2 left

[hybrid tendon]

canio ante 9 🥀

[wintry ice]

it's too late to scale it either way

[unreal jolt]

No it's not

Peep this

[hybrid tendon]

it is

you get outscaled by the blinds

[pale wolf]

balatrodle in 4 :/

[wintry ice]

i got it in 4 too

[pale wolf]

i dont think of that joker as that category

[primal epoch]

I managed to get burnt out of balatro

played too much

[wintry ice]

idk balatrodle categories are pretty arbritrary

[pale wolf]

they're objective but i just, mentally disregard the ||money earning aspect of tcard, it doesnt register as its main ability||
still got there though

[unreal jolt]

Oof

Couldn't get a single tarot card for destroying

[twin lantern]

Imagine 80,000 discards

[primal epoch]

yeah, I only ever take it for ||the deck fixing||

[nova junco]

Come on guys get in some stupid absurd huge argument so I can watch the chaos

[primal epoch]

ok

uh

I hate balatro

[unreal jolt]

Imagine a 'stein joker that removes small blinds by taking them to his island

[nova junco]

Well ur wrong because doc likes it

[primal epoch]

its not fun at all and uh the music sucks and make every stake blue stake

[twin lantern]

I don't like the black deck

[nova junco]

Where's Lilo

[unreal jolt]

Why it's so easy to win with

[unreal jolt]

Here

@unreal jolt

Yo

[twin lantern]

I like the green deck it is my favorite (truth)

[unreal jolt]

What's that one do again?

[primal epoch]

funny money

[unreal jolt]

?

[twin lantern]

$2 for each remaining hand $1 for each remaining discard

[unreal jolt]

My fav is yellow deck so far or checkered

[unreal jolt]

Oh

Doesn't that one suck actual gardbage

[twin lantern]

It is the deck I've used the most I love it

[nova junco]

Tbh I have been playing balatro rarely recently and I always go with ghost deck

[primal epoch]

same

I adore spectrals

[nova junco]

But when playing more consistently my fav decks were checkered, then abandoned

[faint linden]

Erratic. Embrace the chaos

[full orbit]

Took a break from black deck because I wanted to kms. Pretty sweet start

[primal epoch]

open arcana, trust

[full orbit]

I trust you

[primal epoch]

I've been known to have good backseat playing

[manic zealot]

biggest glass jonkler I ever had

[unreal jolt]

.

[faint linden]

They return on Ante 18

[primal epoch]

😭

[nova junco]

Ante 18 you have to do 18 small blinds

[sharp plank]

Lmfao

[unreal jolt]

Except they all have the wall boss ability

[nova junco]

Also like wouldn't that make you incredibly incredibly weaker than usual

Doing one less blind

[primal epoch]

so you just lose the game? gotcha

[faint linden]

You got caught

[unreal jolt]

Yes, just like how stein lost

[primal epoch]

could be you just get the reward and shop without having to play the blind

[full orbit]

Chat do I Ankh?

[unreal jolt]

No, you still get shop and money

[unreal jolt]

Do that one

[nova junco]

Doesn't change much, aside from white stake they give no money

And if no money then no shop either

[primal epoch]

extra payout then

[full orbit]

@manic zealot I need you!!!

[nova junco]

Same as why it's bad to skip, playing rounds is more scaling and more money from leftover hands and econ jokers

[primal epoch]

god, why am I discussing balance for the 'stein joker 😭

[unreal jolt]

We need the stein jokrr

And add the 'combs joker while your at it

[primal epoch]

we need jumbo joker

[nova junco]

The hell was that

😭

[twin lantern]

What?

[primal epoch]

lebron pez dispenser???

[faint linden]

Create a Wee Joker and Oil Lamp each ante

[twin lantern]

This is not #pez or #basketball, get it together guys

[primal epoch]

OP

[unreal jolt]

'Combs joker, 50% chance for blinds to "slip in oil" and lose 20% of their blind goal (blinds need 20% less chips(

[wanton breach]

who tf is Cavendihh

[unreal jolt]

Who tf is fareru2

I run these streets

[oak axle]

BRO natural poly photo 😭

[primal epoch]

why are you 1.5× mult?

[full orbit]

Who tf is Dolphin

[nova junco]

GET THE GAY PHOTOCHAD SHIP

[oak axle]

Why so many gay hornets here

[unreal jolt]

Can we get the trump joker, builds wall

[primal epoch]

CRAFTY JOKER, MY ARCHNEMESIS

[wanton breach]

i run 2 km a day

[nova junco]

Guarantees the wall as boss blind

[unreal jolt]

And calls ice on any card with the diamond suit, making them convert to the club suit

Or they get deported from your deck

[wanton breach]

i spinned the weel

[primal epoch]

"All boss blinds are The Wall, 4x boss payout"

[wanton breach]

wheel*

[nova junco]

Which wouldn't even be that bad now that I think about it

[faint linden]

Or VV?

[unreal jolt]

Adds a yellow tint over the dcreen

[primal epoch]

and didn't ?? impressive

[unreal jolt]

I live the wheel

[twin lantern]

Balatro quiz! What does Cheeky Joker do?

[primal epoch]

nah, just the wall

[nova junco]

What

[primal epoch]

sucks.

[faint linden]

Any Finisher?

[primal epoch]

the big wall

[nova junco]

Like every joker except for pareidolia

[twin lantern]

That would be a good joker I think that should be added

[oak axle]

Why

[twin lantern]

Joker idea: increases blind goal by 1000

[oak axle]

Crafty joker best joker

[primal epoch]

is calling...

[nova junco]

The hell

[primal epoch]

no upside???

[nova junco]

Nah because we have trump joker so every boss is the wall

[faint linden]

Make Balatro Great Again

[unreal jolt]

8 ball best joker

[twin lantern]

No I've just decided I'm going to come up with the rest of the idea later. Maybe next month.

[primal epoch]

but that defeats the statement of "every joker sucks but paradolia"

[oak axle]

Guys should I risk taking burnt joker

[nova junco]

What's the point of removing the plant if no pareidolia

[nova junco]

[wanton breach]

and doubles the prices of everything in the shop

[primal epoch]

what's the point of paredolia if the plant

[nova junco]

Actually yeah it might bother someone so let's stop with that joke-

[unreal jolt]

I didn't bring politics here, saying fuck trump is political. Mentioning him and what he's doing isn't, just descriptive, like how I could say Obama made Obama care

[oak axle]

Should I take?

[wanton breach]

yes

[unreal jolt]

Jokirk

[primal epoch]

yes, and please for the love of jimbo kill crafty

[oak axle]

It's eternal thought

[pale wolf]

" I didn't bring politics here" mentions politician

[oak axle]

:c

[nova junco]

Yes, then you start leveling pairs and just win with photochad and try to find something to reroll the plant

[unreal jolt]

Mentioning a politician doesn't make something political

[wanton breach]

you don't need to sell him tho

[oak axle]

Flower pot crafty splash build

[unreal jolt]

Mentioning your opinion in them does

[primal epoch]

CRAFTY IS A PLAGUE

[pale wolf]

yeah I just thrust that topic into the chat where nobody can speak about it or reply to it lest THEY actually be the political one, eh? good loophole!

[tranquil steppe]

But it checks whether league of legends or overwatch is installed and if they are the you can't unlock it

[unreal jolt]

Plenty of ppl replied and I had no issues with it

[primal epoch]

that one certain texture pack

[unreal jolt]

But when you brought your opinion into the conversation it became political

[primal epoch]

have fun with your ban 😭

[nova junco]

Um .

...

[unreal jolt]

Care to share

Joking

[primal epoch]

do your own research

[wanton breach]

elaborate

[pale wolf]

now if you had made a pun out of it id be happier, puns are always fun
like calling it Trump Card

[nova junco]

I mean to be fair when has balatro chat ever gotten a joke

[primal epoch]

its frontpage of BMM 😭

[wanton breach]

we're brainstorming rn

[unreal jolt]

We made several puns

[primal epoch]

DaDG reference??????

we spending 50 chips with this one just to tie

[wanton breach]

why is certain texture pack isn't compatible with my balatro?

[pale wolf]

dance and dance, grandma

[wanton breach]

the game is up to date

[primal epoch]

Dungeons and Degenerate Gamblers

[pale wolf]

nope

[wanton breach]

and the mod manager too

[oak axle]

Gang this is a blessed run??

[unreal jolt]

Dungeons and da dragons

[unreal jolt]

No

[wanton breach]

immolate

[primal epoch]

maybe you're missing dependencies, or they're out of date

[oak axle]

I got tribolate

[nova junco]

Soul isn't that useful unless it's trib, but you have flowerpot which is basically a free slot lol

[oak axle]

Yea

[oak axle]

Hahahah I did

[nova junco]

OH GOD

[wanton breach]

or maybe jimbo saved me from becoming a gooner

[nova junco]

HELL YEAH THE RUN IS ON

[primal epoch]

good things always happen when you murder Crafty

tech support has arrived

[pale wolf]

savescum pack and immo deja vu 🦓

[primal epoch]

lmao

[wanton breach]

go on

[unreal jolt]

Me before I run

[wanton breach]

my dm are open i think

[nova junco]

Only thing id do now is get more levels in pairs and swap astronomer with an actual money joker

[primal epoch]

marathon pregame

[oak axle]

Should I take sock and bussin?

[wanton breach]

yes

[nova junco]

HELL YES

[unreal jolt]

Me when I flip a switch titled run

[oak axle]

I dunno what to replace

[nova junco]

Planet joker

[wanton breach]

i forgor

[unreal jolt]

All of it with gros michels

[oak axle]

Astro free pack

[nova junco]

But then you don't even do pairs anymore you can just go 5oak

[wanton breach]

planet joker is completely optional

[primal epoch]

planet boy

[nova junco]

But you have burnt

[primal epoch]

end him

[wanton breach]

sock and buskin is a must

[primal epoch]

sock and bustin

[wanton breach]

[oak axle]

So this means I'm. Gonna build a flush five build?

[wanton breach]

poly my chrome if you will

[primal epoch]

bustin-to the small blind

bust right through the wall

[oak axle]

I'm gonna miss Baron mime

[primal epoch]

screw you wall, titanium socks

[wanton breach]

yep

[nova junco]

You're probably gonna win even if you just do pairs, really it's up to you you can do whatever you want with a god build like this lol

The only thing that's gonna lose you the run is
