[vestal copper]

average photochad run:

[rich mauve]

new blue stake: spectral packs can no longer appear in shop

[drowsy rain]

New Blue Stake: Photograph will no longer appear in shop or judgement while having Hanging Chad

[torpid bridge]

Why people be hating photochad

[rich mauve]

because auto win if no

[vestal copper]

its just not fun

[strange compass]

And auto lose with plant

[vestal copper]

there sre so many more builds that are way cooler and more fun

and 2 commons just eat em

[torpid bridge]

Photochad is not auto win if you play small hands

[rich mauve]

new blue stake: flipped jokers may appear in shop (they will be flipped when you buy them and you will not be able to read description anymore)

[drowsy rain]

I just love hacking my wee you know

[rich mauve]

so like

you gotta remember what you bought

[torpid bridge]

Needs planets or big hands for easy wins

[drowsy rain]

It doesn’t help that smiley face is common too which basically decimates the first antes

[sand lily]

Is two pair with seeing double peak?

[torpid bridge]

While all 3 of them are common, chance of getting them all at early antes is not that high

[rich mauve]

seeing double is peak

[drowsy rain]

Idk about seeing double but two pair is peak

I like never pick up seeing double

[vestal copper]

its better with pair slop but yeah

[carmine spoke]

What should i do lowkey

[sand lily]

I'm trying to gold sticker it

[drowsy rain]

Yeah then just spam pairs

Two pair is better if you have retrigger jokers

Otherwise it’s pairs

[rich mauve]

new blue stake: vouchers expire after some time

idk when

[torpid bridge]

After the next ante

[rich mauve]

maybe like 4 antes

[carmine spoke]

What am i supposed to do just skip or replace the sock and bussin with something im playing flushes

[molten badger]

to get another showman

[torpid bridge]

[molten badger]

randomise value from 1-10 rounds, changes every time boss blind is defeated

[drowsy rain]

If you already leveled up flush enough you don’t need the scary face per say

[carmine spoke]

Its like lvl 8 i think

[molten badger]

black hole spam moment

[hasty onyx]

New blue stake: reveal one digit of players ip address to 4chan every 23 discards

[drowsy rain]

I would take sock if you plan on going past ante 8

[brave goblet]

I have to huh

[drowsy rain]

over scary face

[carmine spoke]

Alr thx

[rich mauve]

violet vessel!

hey that's me

[brave goblet]

level 11 pair

hmmm

168 chips on the square

[strange compass]

Fatass

[brave goblet]

I also have a red seal glass ace

[torpid bridge]

Mine is cgnat

[hasty onyx]

I remember i had a dream where i opened a spectral pack and it had black hole and soul and i chose black hole and i just started fucking tweaking and like running around in rage

[torpid bridge]

More than happy to share my IP

[compact gazelle]

luchador is better than card sharp here no matter what

[nocturne frost]

I hate that this seed is working

[drowsy rain]

Eternal misprint is peak balatro

[nocturne frost]

I hexed it

It was eternal Misprint and eternal certificate start

[rich mauve]

generally it's the other way around

misprint hexes you

[brave goblet]

[rich mauve]

and give 0 mult

[nocturne frost]

I had a choice, eternal certificate or eternal trading card

[brave goblet]

Maybe I should suggest doc this seed

[nocturne frost]

Then wheel hit on certificate

[rich mauve]

[drowsy rain]

All square jokers fault btw

[brave goblet]

I shouldn't have taken that cloud 9

actual huge misplay

It used to be a rental rebate

[drowsy rain]

What is even the point of cloud 9

Who is making a 9 build

[brave goblet]

I would

[iron vigil]

It's an alright econ joker

[brave goblet]

you make more 9s to get money to make more 9s, instant flush five

[drowsy rain]

It’s just uncommon golden joker

[brave goblet]

tell that to $40 a round cloud 9

[strange compass]

Square jokers needs 8 hands to match a FOAK with Wee

[drowsy rain]

Me when I try something new for once but get outplayed once again by king of hearts flush five

[shell dagger]

cloud 9 is one reason you would

[carmine spoke]

I messed up badly

[sacred pike]

This is the closest win I have ever had. Was clenched the whole run
Started with the Eternal Brainstorm out the gate...was salvaging the rune the whole way through lol

[strange compass]

And that's assuming that the 4oak had no triggers

[drowsy rain]

uhhhh ok

what happened

[drowsy rain]

Isn’t it the only reason

[shell dagger]

odd todd

[brave goblet]

that's the best reason

[nocturne frost]

Sock instead of ramen or doesn't matter I reckon

Boss is acorn and ramen lives

[brave goblet]

almost like one's a common and one's a rare 🤯

[strange compass]

I swear Cerulean Bell man, sometimes it's the easiest boss ever and sometimes it just locks in and picks the worst possible cards

[rich mauve]

new blue stake: rounds cannot give more than x $

[drowsy rain]

I do love odd todd

[brave goblet]

bell is horrific against 5 card hands

[primal dragon]

Eat that ramen

[shell dagger]

anyway you don’t need a reason to build into a specific rank, the fact that it makes 4oak online is enough for any rank

[sacred pike]

i got extremely lucky. i would have been cooked with any bad card

[shell dagger]

cloud 9 just softens the transition by giving you money

[brave goblet]

investment tag skippers in shambles

cloud 9 players in shambles

[sacred pike]

also i had seltzer until that last hand lol

[strange compass]

Rarity doesn't matter that much

[drowsy rain]

i mean it does

[brave goblet]

You don't see wee every day

[strange compass]

I see wee everyday

Cuz I have one

[weary idol]

Am I right in thinking I take dna for juggler?

[strange compass]

Ooh clutch

[brave goblet]

is your wee wee or is your wee yuge

[rich mauve]

yes

[brave goblet]

no baron

[rich mauve]

dna gives more hand size

[drowsy rain]

9/10 dna cards win big after you get that last duplication

[iron vigil]

Mistprint

[drowsy rain]

A dna card is a dna card but a misprint could be anything

[iron vigil]

truth

[strange compass]

Ok but I think square should be a little bit better than what it is rn

[austere whale]

Shortcut + Flowerpot + Planet Tycoon is goated

[strange compass]

Like runner scales so high

And it's a common too

[iron vigil]

Flowerpot dawg 😭

[nocturne frost]

Nah it's fine, I turned around on it

[austere whale]

Square is as good as runner

[drowsy rain]

The common joker is easier to use but scales slower, the rare joker is harder to build towards but scales much faster, I don’t see much of a problem

[nocturne frost]

Square joker is a yet another pair joker

[cosmic sun]

Square keeps going while I usually stop at a certain point with runner

[frank grove]

yeah but most of the time having 150 chips is enough anyway

[austere whale]

Yea if u play high card or pair u can surpass runner with square

[cosmic sun]

And then at that point you don't even have to scale square which is already a luxury

[rich mauve]

new blue stake: start with eternal flower pot

[drowsy rain]

Runner is better because I don’t have to play pairs

[austere whale]

Usually i get both to around 300 if i ger them ante 1

[drowsy rain]

very simple

[cosmic sun]

Plus not having to play straights

[austere whale]

Trueeer

[nocturne frost]

Having +50 chips is enough anyway, and then you switch off chip jokers because planets scale chips

[fluid nova]

guys what do i do here yall seem smart asf and im not so help pls

[cosmic sun]

Runner is a pair joker actually

[iron vigil]

holy evil incarnate

[strange compass]

Even then, there are the other chip jokers + with pairs you can spam planets

[cosmic sun]

Straights don't need runner

[quick cloak]

balatro 2 is here

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[iron vigil]

eternal flower pot and two The World

[cosmic sun]

Cause straights scale with saturn

[frank grove]

yeah straights have enough chips already

[drowsy rain]

Immolate and pray to john balatro brotato

[rich mauve]

ye

kinda cool

[fluid nova]

but i get to do 2 things i got like 4 of the queens

[nocturne frost]

There is already Passant

[quick cloak]

if scc looks cool

we love rougelikes

[drowsy rain]

I would skip after the immolate unless you plan on ankhing your brainstorm tbh

[strange compass]

If you are on phone, you can see what it deletes and close the game before the animation ends

[quick cloak]

rogue

[hollow nebula]

You have a few greenneedles

[drowsy rain]

an expert can chime in idk

[fluid nova]

pc

[nocturne frost]

You can save scum on pc too

[fluid nova]

or i use the ecto im not sure at all tho

[drowsy rain]

If you plan on keeping chad and dusk

[nocturne frost]

Mobile version is a very direct port

You can even glitch some pc controls on it

[quick cloak]

he has enougj brainstorms bro

[fluid nova]

i could ankh ecto the brainstorm lol

[drowsy rain]

Does ankh copy negative? I don’t think it does

[fluid nova]

it dosnt but id have a negative and normal one

they would look cool together

[drowsy rain]

I understand

[verbal zephyr]

bizarre run but we take it

[drowsy rain]

But you might die lol

[fluid nova]

right

[fervent wolf]

Meow >_<

[iron vigil]

amazing scholar build

[fluid nova]

valid

[drowsy rain]

i wish there were more ways for aces to score

[strange compass]

Ye Ace got shafted

[fervent wolf]

Fib, Odd Todd

[strange compass]

Which is weird cuz Ace is the best in actual poker

[drowsy rain]

Yeah but unique

[heady narwhal]

scholar is the best joker in the game because it scales quadratically with retriggers

[iron vigil]

true

[rough spire]

My god, Throwback is a great joker. I love this game so much

[drowsy rain]

aces should be super powerful and they’re worse than twos

[fervent wolf]

Superposition idk 0_0

[strange compass]

Should be equivalent to face cards. I am surprised there isn't a legendary that has something to do with Ace

[fluid nova]

this is what i now have

[drowsy rain]

damn lucky ecto hit??

[weary idol]

Sorry. New question. Do I take a bean? If so what for? 53 kings, maybe 30 have a red sticker

[fluid nova]

yurr a 5x cat too

[heady narwhal]

they're much better than face cards as-is

[drowsy rain]

That’s great

[iron vigil]

are your kings steel?

[verbal zephyr]

idk

[weary idol]

Yes

[verbal zephyr]

u dont get planted at least

[iron vigil]

and also what is your scoring

if you feel like you need to score more then def do take bean

[weary idol]

e31 atm

[drowsy rain]

Neither do twos

[iron vigil]

but i feel like you're completely fine as is

[verbal zephyr]

what do twos have going for them other than hack

but hacks too rare to rely on

[heady narwhal]

the woker

[drowsy rain]

you’ve never hacked your wee

L

[verbal zephyr]

yeah but i mean like

if u open a standard ante 1

[iron vigil]

she retrigger on my wee till i again!

[verbal zephyr]

u see an ace and a 2

u gotta take 1 of them

u pick the ace surely

[drowsy rain]

for

what speculatively

[heady narwhal]

• why are you opening a standard pack ante 1
• why are you taking a non-seal from a standard pack

[verbal zephyr]

yeah but the 2 is more speculative than the ace

[strange compass]

Have not hacked my wee for so long

[drowsy rain]

yeah so I skip the pack

[strange compass]

It's making me Madness

[verbal zephyr]

i mean true

[strange compass]

Huh

[heady narwhal]

facecards have utility for value generation but that's about it. if i'm building into one rank for 4oak or similar, i'd much rather build aces

[drowsy rain]

aces have zero retriggers besides the obvious worldwide ones

which is why it’s sad

[iron vigil]

you could get a pareidolia too, i guess

and red seals

[drowsy rain]

If I get a negative pareidolia

then maybe

[iron vigil]

true

[strange compass]

Face cards have the x mults which is why I just think they are the best

[crimson hinge]

hex four fingers or sell and hex photo?

[strange compass]

In late antes you need x mult the most

[heady narwhal]

retriggers aren't worth building into

[drowsy rain]

I think we’re talking high score vs gold stake rn

[iron vigil]

hex four fingers and get misprint for safety

[drowsy rain]

different arguments

[heady narwhal]

those suck ass except after the game is over

[strange compass]

That's just a roundabout way of playing face card

[weary idol]

I fucked it. But boy that was fun. My heart was racing n🤣

[strange compass]

We are talking about Ace and Face ranks

[verbal zephyr]

u gotta hex the photo

[strange compass]

Oof

[verbal zephyr]

for the content

[iron vigil]

nicee

[verbal zephyr]

what if chad next reroll

[crimson hinge]

photochad here I come 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[iron vigil]

hex the photo then play only high card so you lose

[heady narwhal]

sell and hex misprint

[drowsy rain]

I murdered negative credit card and his poly brother came to avenge him

[verbal zephyr]

hex the photo then sell it for good luck

[iron vigil]

poly card

[strange compass]

Four fingers hex is the safest. Pickup photo, sell, and then hex to get cashback

[drowsy rain]

but what if the next reroll is chad

✌️

[verbal zephyr]

trib next arcana pack trust

[strange compass]

I can't imagine Chad losing

[steep grove]

Hes always in the NEXT pack 😞

[drowsy rain]

Me when I take my speculative ante 2 invisible joker for my speculative perkeo so I can get naneinf with my speculative observatory

[eager summit]

i lucked out and got amber acorn

[strange compass]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[eager summit]

sorry, i stole your luck

[rich mauve]

ante 8 50k requirement

wow

it feels like

I'm old

[void lintel]

the boss blind for white stake at ante 8 is only 100k minus violet vessel

[eager summit]

lucked out again, as i'm doing 5 of a kind kings

[primal dragon]

I love playing with my wee

[eager summit]

there we go

[gaunt gulch]

instantly had to sell it for the verdant leaf 😔

[iron vigil]

double scary face bro

you're fearless

[gaunt gulch]

🥀

showman clutch

[eager summit]

same twin

[candid scroll]

how many cryptids do i need for naneinf on average

[iron vigil]

like 200

considering you have red seal steel

doesnt need to be kings

[sweet pollen]

what do i pick: king or steel 10?

[eager summit]

what do i sell

[eager summit]

king bc it takes 1 tarot to make it steel but 3 tarots to make the 10 a king

[sweet pollen]

too late

[sweet pollen]

maybe the three of a kind?

[vocal rose]

the poly joker

[eager summit]

shit you right, i just realized after i sold hologram

i'm so fucking dumb

i got yorick tho

[sweet pollen]

goat

do i sell business card and get blue joker?

[eager summit]

i deserved that loss

[nocturne frost]

Okay, so I'm back at c++ with black stake only, because last time I was called out on using white stakes on some other decks, so I'm doing it properly now. Getting back into the flow, and what I really like about it, is how you get truly abhorrent builds like this one
(I picked up Ancient for a sticker, and surprisingly it works like a weaker photograph in a pair build, never thought of that)

[sweet pollen]

i messed a run like that too a couple days ago

[sand lily]

I figured out a use for square joker that isn't ass - just pair it with four fingers

[heady narwhal]

???????????

[nocturne frost]

It's abhorrent because it is very much a glass joker run, and I just got lucky on justices and deaths, and it just felt so disgusting

Love it

[sand lily]

square joker is ass most of the time

[nocturne frost]

Square joker is fine by itself

[heady narwhal]

?????????????

[nocturne frost]

It's a pair joker

It's a common chips joker for pairs

And two pairs

[sweet pollen]

what do i do??

[heady narwhal]

how to use chips joker that relies on playing lots of hands every round: play handtypes that already have decent chips and are hard to play multiple times per round

[sweet pollen]

do i sell blue joker??

[wicked moat]

Epic first shop

[heady narwhal]

sell baron

[sweet pollen]

dudeee

[sweet pollen]

okk

[lost vault]

here, win

[sand lily]

square joker scales at the pace of an octogenarian sloth

[tranquil steppe]

Abstract is calling

[lost vault]

square > stunt

[heady narwhal]

it scales the same as runner if you play 4 hands per round

by the end of the game it's usually about +200 chips which is more than enough to win the run

[sweet pollen]

why??

[tranquil steppe]

Castle > stunt

[sweet pollen]

i think ill do a lucky card build

[lost vault]

mah your luck is all used up after that

[tranquil steppe]

Now there you go. Meow meow

[tranquil steppe]

15 mult is good

[sweet pollen]

🤤

[sweet pollen]

yeah but i could have better

[sweet pollen]

think so?

[quick solar]

i love this challenge

also how the fuck

i didnt draw a single useful card

i coudlg go for a really dumb play that just sinta kills me

omg we live

[rough spire]

Does ride the bus reset to zero if I play a face card?

[fringe nebula]

try it

and learn

[quick solar]

i could go for a really funny play here

[cosmic sun]

if the face card scores

[upbeat oyster]

:D

[cosmic sun]

Congrats!

[upbeat oyster]

thank you

I hate black deck

[sweet pollen]

send prayers 🙏

[zinc zephyr]

All that without photograph 💔

[upbeat oyster]

or bloodstone

what hand u playin

[zinc zephyr]

I see chariot and death I'm hoping flush five kings

[iron vigil]

ur doomed bro 😭

[quick solar]

holy shit we ballin

[iron vigil]

Blue joker will troll you

[sweet pollen]

yep

[terse vale]

sending prayers for every card except smiley and sock my buskin

[eager summit]

a debt collector's wet dream

[zinc zephyr]

Triboulet in the arcana pack:

[sweet pollen]

they the best jokers idc

[terse vale]

chicot in the arcana

[quick solar]

im litterally drawing half my deck

cloud 9 when

[fluid nova]

best arcana pack ever ngl

[sand lily]

Sometimes I like to drag out stupid decisions just to see how far I can go

[terse vale]

smiley :?

[zinc zephyr]

Temperance synergy

[quick solar]

i have no deck fixing tho so kinda cooked

[zinc zephyr]

No stickers on square joker is insane

[terse vale]

true

[sand lily]

I have been thinking about it wrong, I only recently got into pairmaxxing

[zinc zephyr]

To be fair it's abysmal to play with

[terse vale]

:?

[sweet pollen]

with a face card build retrigger deck yes

[sand lily]

I don't enjoy it at all

[terse vale]

its like peak

[zinc zephyr]

I will not tolerate square joker love

Just like how I won't tolerate obelisk glaze

[terse vale]

honestly i’d rather something like business card

[terse vale]

you would hate how I play gs

[quick solar]

just need dice...

[terse vale]

because obelisk is also peek

[sweet pollen]

i sold it cuz i already got enough money

[zinc zephyr]

green stake haha

[terse vale]

[sweet pollen]

and not enough score

[terse vale]

people who hate obelisk just aren’t using it right

[sweet pollen]

obelisk worse joker ever

[terse vale]

i’ve sadly been proven right every time

[zinc zephyr]

Dude I SWEAR I know how to use it and it's useful af but it's so abysmal to use

It's painful

[sweet pollen]

another john.balatro pearl

[terse vale]

well how do you use it !

[zinc zephyr]

placing it infront of ceremonial dagger

[terse vale]

you don’t play every hand like 6 times right

[sweet pollen]

madness synergy

[terse vale]

you stack up a single one

preferably pair or two pair or somethinb

[zinc zephyr]

I stack up three of a kind don't question why

pair and two pair are too mainstream

[terse vale]

man

idk about consistently getting 3oak

[zinc zephyr]

The only reason I do that is just incase I get PANTS

Lowkey a goated card to go with obelisk

[terse vale]

honestly two pair is great for uranus chips

[heady narwhal]

i love pair -> 3/4oak pivot for obelisk

[terse vale]

other than that its fib fodder

[sweet pollen]

two pair best hand ever

i mean

early game its very good

[heady narwhal]

less reliant on having a chips joker

[terse vale]

makes sense!

[sweet pollen]

but then when you get half face card deck in ante 7 / 8 full house rules

[terse vale]

i’ve never had the econ or deckfixing to go 3oak when I have obelisk

i’malways just hand agnostic

cus by the time I get obelisk I’d already have a chips joker

but I’ve never tried deckfixing with early obelisk to be fair

[zinc zephyr]

Who tf goes "WOOHOO OBELISK ANTE 2 !!!"

[quick solar]

guys it it too late to pivot

[heady narwhal]

me

[heady narwhal]

early obelisk is best obelisk

[zinc zephyr]

Isn't your hand size 20

[quick solar]

yeah but i have no kings

[zinc zephyr]

Let me correct myself

Who (sane person) goes like that

[quick solar]

fuck it we ball

surely ouija

also no high card levels

[heady narwhal]

if you play like 15 runs on gold stake it comes pretty naturally

[zinc zephyr]

Silly you I HAVE played 15 runs on gold stake

[heady narwhal]

obelisk is best early because you get to choose which hand to build up & set up for a pivot from early on

[terse vale]

right

[sand lily]

Should I take cavendish instead of smiley face?

[zinc zephyr]

Hell yeah!!!

[terse vale]

ya

[zinc zephyr]

Eternal riff raff is diabolical

[terse vale]

eh

its fine

[heady narwhal]

not really

[terse vale]

even without polychrome

[zinc zephyr]

Isn't just a -1 joker slot right now tho

[shell dagger]

it gave them photochad

[zinc zephyr]

I guess

[heady narwhal]

maybe gros michel as well

and it also probably set their econ up quickly

[shell dagger]

taking eternals that only do something early on is very common if going for streaks

[zinc zephyr]

Could've been sly joker jimbo over and over again

[shell dagger]

you gotta get out of early and riffraff does that for you

[terse vale]

well its kinda like taking an eternal joker to survive

[heady narwhal]

sly joker is great

[zinc zephyr]

C++ players when I criticize ANY joker

Like it's just +50 chips how is that great 😭

[heady narwhal]

try criticizing worse jokers

[shell dagger]

You could’ve said wily and zany and it would’ve been a fine statement

Although those sell for $2 instead of 1

[zinc zephyr]

Wily is worse than sly ???

[shell dagger]

Yeah

[heady narwhal]

+50 chips 4 times per round, can be disabled if you need to scale your grimbo or whatever

[iron vigil]

lmaaao

+50 chips go a long way

[shell dagger]

You can nearly always play 4 pairs but can rarely play 2 3oaks with an unfixed deck

Per round

[drowsy rain]

the ante 1 eternal holographic superposition

[queen dock]

Sly is reliable and versatile.

[shell dagger]

Worth

[queen dock]

All hands that have a pair get +50 chips

[zinc zephyr]

Thing is aren't you going to sell sly joker and stuff if you got it from riff raff

[heady narwhal]

no)????

for one thing it only sells for $1

[drowsy rain]

riff raff give you good joker, keep good joker and sell riff raff

[quick solar]

uhhh

sell vag or no

[iron vigil]

maybe sell one of your credit cards?

[zinc zephyr]

Maybe sell a credit card idk

[iron vigil]

😭

[drowsy rain]

I have another idea

[iron vigil]

sell the death card for interest

[shell dagger]

sell baron itbsucks haha

[zinc zephyr]

What does C++ do to someone

I'm scared to go for it

[quick solar]

i have like 20 handsize

[iron vigil]

wait how

[zinc zephyr]

challenge deck

[shell dagger]

the challenge

[iron vigil]

oooh

[fringe nebula]

c++ makes you do math

[sand lily]

https://klipy.com/gifs/spider-man-norman-osborn-4

[drowsy rain]

Sell baron for speculative flower pot, insane pro balatro tactics

[zinc zephyr]

Is this math enough

[iron vigil]

lose all discards? Well go find them

[quick solar]

what is it

[zinc zephyr]

That's what I'm saying

[quick solar]

i havent done anything yet

[drowsy rain]

brohemian rhapsody

the cards

[fringe nebula]

that is not math

[quick solar]

oh truw ii am aying 5 of a kind

[zinc zephyr]

Yes it is

[rough spire]

My second legendary!!

[quick solar]

main problem with baron is that i have no ships

[zinc zephyr]

ships

[quick solar]

am i dumb or do i only see one

[fluid nova]

is it always the exact same?

[zinc zephyr]

I think he means ever

like in his balatro profile

[terse vale]

make them bettr at the game

[drowsy rain]

Chicgoat

[fringe nebula]

second legendary they have unlocked*

[drowsy rain]

One time I was about to play the plant with my trib and chicgoat saved me at the buzzer

[cloud sinew]

balatro

[heady narwhal]

it makes you better at the game .and also significantly more contrarian

[drowsy rain]

i will never forget

[rough spire]

Yes I started playing Saturday and I’ve unlocked Canio and Chicot

[cloud sinew]

It was 3oak, lvl 4 3oak with trip 7s

999 :(

[lost vault]

wowwie

[zinc zephyr]

okay

[lost vault]

:(

-1 dollar

[drowsy rain]

Why he ourple 😂

[rough spire]

Somebody here said they’ve been playing a long time and only got Canio once?

These things are that rare?

[fringe nebula]

0.3% i think

i forgot

[ivory reef]

Natural poly trib

[heady narwhal]

0.3% chance for soul per card in an arcana or spectral pack

[sand lily]

There's your gold square joker

[steady fern]

Is there a guide for how to force pairs to beat gold stakes?

[fringe nebula]

get good jokers

[heady narwhal]

technically speaking it's 0.2991% for spectrals

[zinc zephyr]

Well that's a jump

[cloud sinew]

is this because of the 0.3% for black hole to replace it after soul spawning in that slot

[heady narwhal]

• scaling +mult
• scaling +chips or reliable source of hand levels
• as much xmult as you can find

[rough spire]

So definitely an anomaly for me to have two already, that’s cool

[quick solar]

you can only get one soul/hole per pack right

[cloud sinew]

one of each without showman, yes

[quick solar]

wait so with showman you could potentially get a gull pack of only soul/holes

[cloud sinew]

Yes

[heady narwhal]

• get interest asap (but if you get a hand scaler early you should play all your hands every round)
• don't open packs until you have interest
• maybe open spectral packs before you have interest if you love gambling
• i love Standard Pack
• start rerolling around ante 5

[sand lily]

if only we could get those in consumables and perkeo them lol

[uneven laurel]

So, how come balatro doesn't have a daily seed competition built in game like other roguelikes?

[cloud sinew]

Localthunk decided against it

[terse vale]

would be cool but hard to code I guess

[heady narwhal]

iirc there's some text that says "Daily Challenge!" in the localization strings

[uneven laurel]

Bit sad, would be fun to see how quickly someone would score naniff

Could even have daily modifiers like "no common jokers"

[uneven laurel]

Or "all hearts debuffed"

The entire game

[median gust]

I only got 1 left

But what’s better to copy

I have 4 discard so i feel like i can find it

So 1.5 right??

[heady narwhal]

can't wait for

• 6 discards 1 hand
• discards each cost $1
• 3 joker slots
• small and big blinds earn no reward money

[zinc zephyr]

What the fuck.

Okay.

[median gust]

Bc it affects my hologram

[tranquil steppe]

Blueprint day

[heady narwhal]

skip for redcard value

[uneven laurel]

Honestly, harder the better. Imagine if one day the best score is like ante 6 lol

[tranquil steppe]

I like the daily thing. That could be fun

[median gust]

Nice legendary hahah

[zinc zephyr]

No no it's chill it was canio

[tranquil steppe]

Lord Canio!!!

[zinc zephyr]

Pareidolia PLEASE

[tranquil steppe]

prays to the Balatro gods

[zinc zephyr]

Yeah no okay what the fuck is this seed

[tranquil steppe]

That’s incredible. Get it and share it once you win kthxbye

And on gold stake too that’s nuts

[zinc zephyr]

WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT

[terse vale]

hey i’ve heard of this

[uneven laurel]

Nahhh wtf

[shell dagger]

Double parei incoming

[zinc zephyr]

Please no...

[formal shadow]

foreseeing

double redcard!

[crimson hinge]

I could do something really funny here...

[uneven laurel]

I'll be nice

Double canioooo

[distant thunder]

x10.2 monolith before my flush five caught up to my pair played amount

[zinc zephyr]

Thanks!

Yeah this is a crazy seed

[formal shadow]

not selling redcard is kinda crazy icl

maybe thats just me though

[zinc zephyr]

I was praying upon the gods of balatro

[wicked moat]

It was in fact a winner. Ended up doing something I always wanted to do: a 5oak 8-ball build

[zinc zephyr]

And I did get a hanged man so I'm surviving

[heady narwhal]

????

it's the best +mult joker and it's foil

[zinc zephyr]

That too!

(Mostly because it didn't have any stickers on it)

[terse vale]

best you could ask for

[uneven laurel]

Yeah I prefer 66% being amazing/good 33% bad than 50% amazing 50% bad

[terse vale]

when people say you’re “wasting money” on redcard I lowkey just tune them out

[idle breach]

you can use the hermit to double your 0 dollars

[cloud sinew]

it's not a waste if you get +mult out of it

[zinc zephyr]

Pretty sure I already have won right?

[terse vale]

EXACTLY

[cloud sinew]

yeah

[uneven laurel]

Getting trading card lol

[zinc zephyr]

Probably one of my luckiest seeds ever

Yeah I'm winning

[turbid nova]

With maybe some glass cards I could maybe get 100M to unlock stuntman

[bleak blaze]

Skip for red card value

[zinc zephyr]

I'm so glad I didn't

[serene forge]

here win

[bleak blaze]

Me too lmao

The ankh would've been fine if the game wasn't so generous XD

[zinc zephyr]

The game just felt like being nice

[turbid nova]

Def some potential here

To get that achievement

It’s probably easier on plasma deck

[zinc zephyr]

and negative grimbo

very cool

Could've been even more peak

[forest birch]

Balatro seeds in Ohio be like:

[zinc zephyr]

ACTUALLY tho

[lost vault]

this one goes out to my obelisk haters

[urban geyser]

i found a very silly seed, will post when im done

[lost vault]

i love this silly stone pillar

[tranquil steppe]

Pretty sure this is a GOAT run

[urban geyser]

photograph and business card are nat negative

[terse vale]

card sharp and obe

[tranquil steppe]

Wow this is a fun one too! Nice!

[lost vault]

it works tbh

[terse vale]

ya I was signaling that I liked it!

i’ve only tried it once recently and it did work

[lost vault]

like i couldve decimated goldstake violet vessel if i scored my highest

but instead i scaled obelisk for the first 3 hands of acorn

qwq

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[rough spire]

Should I blueprint ride the bus or Chad

[serene forge]

[lost vault]

[serene forge]

[zinc zephyr]

J99E5Q5K
Probably the most insane seed I've gotten yet
Canio round 1, Invisible joker round 2, Pareidolia round 3

[kindred blade]

Thank you shop, very cool!

[serene forge]

what's up

[turbid nova]

I’m tryna get far

I think I could win actually

[serene forge]

yes

[kindred blade]

Egg that I can't sell 😭 ik I can build around that but it strips away like half the versatility of the egg

[lost vault]

the temperance value

[serene forge]

temperance is good

[lost vault]

isnt temperance like 70% of the reason egg si good

[serene forge]

it's just an econ joker

[turbid nova]

Nope

Fuck the plant bruh

[serene forge]

[kindred blade]

Lowkey I forgot it existed for a second

[turbid nova]

Ok let’s go for blue stake now, off to a fantastic start

[long oxide]

[serene forge]

[deep fossil]

You’re cooked

[bleak gale]

Hellloooo

[lost vault]

fuck ass run

[forest birch]

Hop on nuhlatro

[quick solar]

no red seals

also couldve had 2 more cards in hand

but

shop price

[lost vault]

😋

[turbid nova]

Flush five build in the making

[quick solar]

rip

[lost vault]

vro chose the worst suit

[deep fossil]

Best*

[quick solar]

nat neg dice + bloodstone trust

[lost vault]

bloodstone is horse shit

[lost vault]

maybe

[deep fossil]

It’s really good with all6 tho

[lost vault]

this is loterally what every single bloodstone fan says

its not a valud argumebt

[violet lagoon]

Got a good run with it because of opps

And lucky cat

[forest birch]

It's like a baron but not good

[lost vault]

its like saying sock and buskin is top 10 vecause of triboulet

[lost vault]

baron is lowkey worse

[deep fossil]

I just like hearts suit cus it looks prettier than the other suits bro leave me alone😭

[quick solar]

guys fist is really good with mime and steel

[lost vault]

thats fair

[bleak gale]

I like bloodstone sock and pareidolia

[violet lagoon]

Every joker sucks alone expect perkeo

[forest birch]

You can nanny-inf with it tho=therefore good

[violet lagoon]

And madness

[carmine path]

I'm still a very beginner to mid level player in balator but I saw a video saying that pairs are really good, especially in gold stake but I don't really understand why? Do I really want to focus only on two cards when depending on the build, I could be doing more 3/4/5 of a kinds with the same deck?

[lost vault]

3 joker slots for the same expected value as Ancient Joker

[quick solar]

pareidolia + canio + immolate

[lost vault]

incorrect

[deep fossil]

Best is second is 3rd is last is

[lost vault]

a joker being good for high score doesnt make it good in general

[bleak gale]

It's fun to play

[lost vault]

baron is only really strong with certain conditions met

[terse vale]

easy to spam and works with most jokers

[lost vault]

those conditions being

[terse vale]

4/5oak is hard to deckfix for

[lost vault]

a very fixed deck

[forest birch]

This is also why idol is good

[old saffron]

enough with the math, let's look at the game from an esthetic standpoint

[violet lagoon]

I mean to win the game YOU NEED high scores

[lost vault]

abd a high level high card

[vocal rose]

gain 10 chips everytime a booster pack is opened

[terse vale]

3oak you don’t try to go for often

[lost vault]

not realky

unless you consider 100k to be a high score

[bleak gale]

There's no bad jokers, it just depends on how you enjoy playing

[forest birch]

Balatrocore

[violet lagoon]

yes you have

[terse vale]

cus of deckfixing but its not as bad as whats required for 4oak I guess

[vocal rose]

for regular gameplay yes there are bad jokers

[bleak gale]

I like playing flush builds and seeing what I can do with them

[fringe nebula]

because :
-the chance of drawing a pair in your hand is pretty high
-you can hold more gold card and blue seal in your hand
-you don't need that much deck fixing to make pair build works

[lost vault]

even if you do you dont need baron level high scores

[quick solar]

bank card is best for lux tax high score

[glossy shard]

Watching chat quietly

[bleak gale]

Even then not really, it just doesn't fit with what you prefer to play

[vocal rose]

what’s your definition of high scoring

[vocal rose]

yes even then

if i’m trying to WIN the game

[terse vale]

you just need scores that are enough

[lost vault]

idol is almost always unusable pre endless

[quick solar]

WATCHING CHAT LOUDLY

[old saffron]

a blazing score if you will

[vocal rose]

there are jokers that are bad

[bleak gale]

Like what?

[forest birch]

licks your arm

[lost vault]

meowing loudly

[gusty sage]

I BEAT GOLD STAKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I DID IT

[vocal rose]

showman, idol, seance

[terse vale]

true

[forest birch]

Dogs be like

[quick solar]

mreoww :3

[terse vale]

oh peak

[harsh relic]

gg yoo

[fringe nebula]

nah, to win the game you just need to score enough

[bleak gale]

Idol is super fun for flush builds imo

[lost vault]

meeeow :3

[lost vault]

okay

[vocal rose]

idol and seance are useless and showman genuinely hinders your run

[violet lagoon]

if you have high scores, then you can survive future blinds

[fringe nebula]

good job

[gusty sage]

TS TOOK ME HOURS AND I FINALLY DID IT

[terse vale]

I mean you need crazy deckfixing for idol

crazy

[lost vault]

nuth truke

[bleak gale]

All of those have their place, that doesn't make them bad

[terse vale]

crazy deckfixing

[forest birch]

Good thing that you can naneinf with it=therefore good

[bleak gale]

I hate campfire but it's not a bad joker just cause I hate playing towards it

[terse vale]

endless does not count for anything in case you were thinking of that

[violet lagoon]

Turn every card into the same card is...

[quick solar]

guys do you support my push for black deck gold stake jokerless

[vocal rose]

it makes them bad if they have zero usage cases for ante 8 gold stake consistency

[lost vault]

ive never genuinely taken any of them wym they have their place

[terse vale]

well yeah but usually enough is fine

[deep fossil]

Has anyone actually ever used flower pot

[forest birch]

Seance is abysmal

[fringe nebula]

me

[vocal rose]

yes

[old saffron]

yes

[terse vale]

yea

[bleak gale]

I'm not! A lot of my runs I end once I beat ante 8

[lost vault]

idol requires an ungodly amount of deckfixing to activate

[harsh relic]

yes

[forest birch]

I did a wild card build with flowerpot once

[tepid skiff]

me when splash

[fringe nebula]

i have used flower pot before thanks to vagabond

[lost vault]

seance is a very small payoff for what it asks of you

[forest birch]

It didn't work

[violet lagoon]

When wild cards will be fixed, I'll check it out

[lost vault]

showman is showman

[vocal rose]

flowerpot is bad but

[terse vale]

stuff like canio is great but you only neeeeed at most x5

[violet lagoon]

Yoo Kris pfp my man

[vocal rose]

it exists

[deep fossil]

I never thought about that omg

[forest birch]

Man...

[violet lagoon]

I love Kris in every sense

[lost vault]

:3

[bleak gale]

Just cause y'all never pick them up doesn't make them bad, it just means you don't play them

[deep fossil]

Kris deltarune?

[gusty sage]

i have a gold sticker on (negative) yorkic, eternal polychrome jolly joker, eternal scary face, mime, persishable throwback (that i specifically skipped 3 rounds for the mult and so it would last) AND chad which is very random but ill take it

[vocal rose]

you’re just saying a lot of nothing burger statements

[bleak gale]

Showman lets me have stupid jokers and I ENJOY that

[lost vault]

okay but we've given more reasons that "i dont take it"

[forest birch]

No seance is bad and I love my echo chamber

[violet lagoon]

yea

[vocal rose]

that aren’t disproving why we’ve said they’re bad

[tepid skiff]

whos that

[forest birch]

What is it

[vocal rose]

you’re goal post shifting now

[deep fossil]

Good or bad

[old saffron]

descartes be like : "it is"

[forest birch]

Fallacy fallacy

[bleak gale]

I never play idol in endless

[bleak gale]

???

[vocal rose]

I cannot get more clear than what I said

[rough spire]

Dammit, I’m 0/2 with legendary jokers. Accidentally destroyed Canio, and then with Chicot I never pulled an xmult joker so the blinds caught up. Kept rerolling, it just never happened.

[lost vault]

ante 1

[terse vale]

yes showman lets uou have stupid jokers but its also just not good

[bleak gale]

"I can't get more clear than what I said" <-- just didn't like what the person said

[terse vale]

I should have fixed that lmao

[bleak gale]

Okay but it IS good, especially if you're using common jokers

[vocal rose]

Yeah that’s not what I said at all

[bleak gale]

Womp womp

[quick solar]

unfortunate but how do you accidentally destory a joker 😭😭

[vocal rose]

you’ve given no explanation or argument on why they’re good at all

[terse vale]

need crazy money to reroll into those

also ruins packs

[vocal rose]

instead you’re just giving anecdotal evidence and personal opinion

[bleak gale]

For common jokers?

[terse vale]

and consumable holding sadly

[harsh relic]

3 ouijas 🔥🔥🔥

[violet lagoon]

I thought showman would add a lot of chance to get that same jokers

[terse vale]

well yeah there’s a big pool of jokers

[lost vault]

man arguments with idol glazers are always fruitless cuz they never use actual logic
