[tardy spade]

we don't need to make one of the most powerful jokers even more powerful

[untold onyx]

That feels convoluted, and thematically doesn't fit with blue seals, it'd be cool if seals had some kind of drawback maybe as an extra stake

[tardy spade]

-$3 if held in hand at end of round

[cyan sparrow]

haha 😄 I believe that is the original trading card joker and he got nerfed afterwards

[tranquil jacinth]

With all this seed had given me, it had not given me a soc

[molten thicket]

oh yeah it does that sometimes as well for me

[placid ridge]

love getting the optimal negative tag timing for gold stickers

[vestal copper]

qell

[tardy spade]

blue stake rework: Blue seals have been reverted back to their old version

[tranquil jacinth]

W

[molten thicket]

i just kinda uhh lobotomize it by spamming every setting

usually works

[reef oyster]

geez so many dobule tags

[tranquil jacinth]

I forgot what were original blue seals

[tardy spade]

random planet

[untold onyx]

Blue seals summon Jimbo to come bend your kneecaps whenever triggered

[old flax]

easiest win of my LIFE😭✌️

[tardy spade]

wefguiefguiefguidhsgdfjksghdsjkfghfjksdghdfjkshgdfjkshgdfjklsghdfjkslghdfjklsgdfhsg

[placid ridge]

[untold onyx]

Reducing the reliability of blue seals could be cool, you already get a random tarot with purple

[tranquil jacinth]

Time to get 8 negative bimbos!!!

[molten thicket]

hell no

[brave goblet]

Square up

[tranquil jacinth]

Jimbo I mean

[molten thicket]

you are getting 2 - 3 planets every round

[reef oyster]

if i have 2 joker stencil will the mutiplyer decrease or increase

[untold onyx]

Getting one or two random planets in a card that can also have gold or steel is reasonable I think

[tranquil jacinth]

Still works ig

[cloud sinew]

Because I'm not infallible, nobody is. having C++ doesn't mean I'm automatically right

[cloud sinew]

increase

[untold onyx]

Those are a bit of extra econ if you don't want them

[tardy spade]

emperor is much more useful than priestess in most cases. The same would be true with purple seals being much more useful than blue seals

[molten thicket]

if that is not the planet i want then im never taking blue seals

[serene forge]

credentials don't make you automatically right

source: politicians

[cloud sinew]

A decent nerf I saw was making them give a random planet after the first one

[untold onyx]

Oh that's cool

[tardy spade]

what about if blue seals had input randomness rather than output (i.e. you could see when you got one what planet it would consistently give you every time) like how orbital tags work

[placid ridge]

the crew

[cloud sinew]

A bad one I saw was making blue seals give the planet for a poker hand you played that round, instead of the one you won with.
this reinforces lobotomy way too much imo

[untold onyx]

That's not a crew that's a whole circus troupe

[molten thicket]

uhhhhh

[cloud sinew]

that wouldnt really change anything vs just making them be random

[molten thicket]

ehhh

[tardy spade]

so Blue Seal: Creates a pluto if held in hand at end of round and another blue seal in a pack would be Creates a jupiter if held in hand at end of round

[molten thicket]

maybe?

[untold onyx]

Maybe they just give you a celestial pack?

[molten thicket]

what

no

[queen cloud]

double egg

[tardy spade]

synergy with telescope

[tranquil jacinth]

Baron jump scare

[vestal copper]

b*ron

[cloud sinew]

red card would 100% be the best mult scaler atp

[placid ridge]

+5 gold stickers :)

[molten thicket]

do NOT diss my goat baron

[tardy spade]

yeah....
Also hallucination

best tarot generator at that point

[untold onyx]

Ok I'm just saying stuff at this point, new update blue seals instantly win the whole game and give you Nan e inf and give you c++

[vestal copper]

how good are you at celeste

[tardy spade]

working through all the B-sides now

[vestal copper]

i honestly dont remember you from cnet

[molten thicket]

i beat the c-sides and farewell

[vestal copper]

oh alr

im green gm

[molten thicket]

and i did some goldens

what the fuck

[vestal copper]

yall need to do modded ngl

[tranquil jacinth]

4th baron in the same shop..

[molten thicket]

i got bored after advanced lobby in sj

[vestal copper]

im working on 7bg rn too

[vestal copper]

dw its just the lobby that is bad

theres a ton of better stuff

dsides 🤤

[weak relic]

Wait what is that an eternal negative madness?

[cosmic sun]

when do we get the entire alphabet

[vestal copper]

1d is bad and then its all peak

[molten thicket]

so i just did the gm and the expert gym

and did some goldens

[vestal copper]

cool

which ones

[molten thicket]

they're so long

[vestal copper]

they are peam

[cloud sinew]

can you keep it about balatro or take it to #🎙・server-chat or #🃏・off-topic please

[placid ridge]

yeah. I already have gold sticker for it, so it was pointless to pick up, but it was the last shop before the final boss blind, and I had no intention of doing endless, so taking it was the right move for me.

[vestal copper]

gruh

[molten thicket]

im too lazy to do them all

[vestal copper]

ig, the game is peak tho i hope you will get further into it

[weak relic]

Hmm what's that "jokers" role for?

[molten thicket]

blue

[cloud sinew]

when localthunk deems you worthy of blue

[keen radish]

I can’t beat purple stake lol, somehow I lost this run with a deck full of queens

[weak relic]

Cool

[molten thicket]

no its bcs they gave an opinion so ass localthunk had to personally go clown them

[tardy spade]

you needed xmult

[keen radish]

I did

[vestal copper]

are jokers mods or smth

[tawdry rock]

NOOOOO

head i HATE you

[sand lily]

I'd bet anything the plant is coming

[cloud sinew]

build that dies to the head vs the head

[vestal copper]

you got your head cut off, some might say

[keen radish]

I’m excited to see the new jokers

In the update

[placid ridge]

shop 1 buffoon pack. Would eternal dusk be worth it? 🤔

[cloud sinew]

depends on the deck, the boss, what's in shop, etc

[molten thicket]

had to look at this image for like 20 secs to confirm that i wasn't tripping

[rich mauve]

there is now way that the plant isn't coming bro

[tawdry rock]

the run died

sobbing internally

[weak relic]

[tawdry rock]

i was gonna gold sticker trib too

[rich mauve]

oh hey sartre

[tawdry rock]

if it wasnt for those meddling heads

[tawdry rock]

chigoat ate perkeo

[weak relic]

Hi 1.2m

[tepid lichen]

Gold stake ante 2 stuntman+supernova, you guys think it's a pair or high card angle? I'm thinking high card

[weak relic]

Psychic

[tawdry rock]

oh my god its spreading

[tepid lichen]

What does it do I forgot

[graceful oak]

heya i'm in a pretty good run with idol can someone call me and help me not to mess up pls

[last geyser]

Supernova is like a better green joker

[tepid lichen]

Oh it's must play 5 cards

Well that doesn't really interfere with stuntman that much

If I'm doing high card

[cloud sinew]

supernova can be perishable, needs to one-shot Eye, and scales slower as playing different poker hands spreads out your scaling.

[tranquil jacinth]

Just got a nat neg Seltzer

[last geyser]

Yeah but discards 🥺

[weak relic]

Must play 5 cards

Assuming you're not on painted deck, that maybe translates to death

[cloud sinew]

doesnt matter that much in lobotomy

[last geyser]

Oh

[weak relic]

Unless

[tepid lichen]

Huh

It wouldn't do anything

[vestal copper]

wait green cant be perishable?

[last geyser]

So green is better then?

[tepid lichen]

I'd just play high card with 5 cards

[weak relic]

Oh

I thought you having 2 stuntmans

Whoops

[tepid lichen]

All good

[weak relic]

Me stupid

[cloud sinew]

Nope, neither can bus.

[vestal copper]

????????????why

[last geyser]

They start from 0

[cloud sinew]

non-retroactive positively scaling jokers (excluding Campfire and HTR) cant be perishable

[weak relic]

That'd make em useless

[vestal copper]

this game has so many quirks in it holy shit

[cloud sinew]

so madness, bus, green, trousers, etc... cant be perishable

[tepid lichen]

Nobody answered my question tho 😭 so high card right

[weak relic]

Always pair

[cloud sinew]

high card

[tepid lichen]

But like why here

[weak relic]

Idk

[cloud sinew]

Not with 6 handsize

[last geyser]

I’d say high card

[weak relic]

I just always feel like it

[vestal copper]

pair slop

[untold onyx]

Switch to pair if you find anything that works with it later in a short time, otherwise HC

[tepid lichen]

Alr thx guys

[deep fossil]

Only use flush like a REAL balatro player

[weak relic]

Yeah high card probably better

[last geyser]

😥

[cloud sinew]

pair scales way slower than high card there

[untold onyx]

The Flusher

[cloud sinew]

because youre drawing pairs way less often with 6 handsize

[untold onyx]

Hey so what is C++²

[cloud sinew]

i did it twice

[untold onyx]

That's just 2C++

[last geyser]

Im sooo closeeeee to c++

[weak relic]

Me too till I gave up

[untold onyx]

C++² would be 150 C++ completions ?

[primal heath]

how does this even happen

5x madness 🔥

[last geyser]

How many do you have left also why give up?!?!?

[weak relic]

Idk maybe 30 or less

I gave up the grind cuz...

[last geyser]

Oh nice

I’m on 149/150 🤕

[last geyser]

…

[placid ridge]

What are you missing?

[weak relic]

Yeah im nvm nvm im getting terrible at this game nowadays

[weak relic]

[tawdry rock]

baron you piece of shit

[cloud sinew]

Lol

[placid ridge]

the king himself

[last geyser]

Yessir

[solemn sonnet]

insane pull redemeed overstock and hanging chad just appeared there

[cloud sinew]

ghost deck for wraith or anaglyph for rare tag is probably best

[weak relic]

Funny enough, I put a gold sticker on it in a really crappy deck

Green

It had stm and mime

[weak relic]

Plant

[placid ridge]

Can plant be the ante 1 boss?

[stray sinew]

i deadass got blueprint, perkeo and chicot all in the same seed btw
only 8 jokers remain.

[last geyser]

I played like 90% ghost deck lol

[weak relic]

Next next ante

[last geyser]

Nicee

I don’t like him

Stupid baron

[weak relic]

Well me too

Stinky

[solemn sonnet]

why is abstract joker my most used joker i just realized

[weak relic]

You pick it too often

[last geyser]

Perkeo 😰

[solemn sonnet]

i swear i barely use it

[marsh swan]

Abstract is just that good

Also brainstorm above blueprint

[last geyser]

Rare skip tags giving perishable jokers is kinda dumb

[weak relic]

Yeah I mean the game just kinda gave me the win after handing me the optimal setup for it

[solemn sonnet]

i love skipping for a perishable the family

thats why i usually never take rare tags on any stake

[marsh swan]

The game loves giving the most trash rewards for most skips

Thank you thunk

[weak relic]

Why skip

[marsh swan]

The only reason i'd skip is for mr bones when its ante 8

Insta win basically

[solemn sonnet]

i barely skip and its usually for investment tag during like ante 1 lol

i used to skip ALOT for rare tags because i thought they were good but i was always met with stuff like the duo

[last geyser]

Would this he stupid to take

[tawdry rock]

duo is awesome what are you saying

[marsh swan]

The plant

[tawdry rock]

take the sixth sense

[heavy heron]

very expensive, and speculative

[last geyser]

🙃

[weak relic]

Sixth sense it is ig

[tame kiln]

Hello

[last geyser]

Hi

[weak relic]

Oh yeah that right

[marsh swan]

Hello Blueprint Balatro

[tame kiln]

Do you think an e17 is a good score?

[marsh swan]

For what build

[tame kiln]

[weak relic]

I gave up the grind cuz I literally lost with so many advantages in my end

Im just getting more and more terrible at this game

[last geyser]

It’s ok

It happens

[tawdry rock]

thats it

[tranquil jacinth]

I lost I couldn't find soc in time

EZM4XG64

[tame kiln]

Sorry, I don't speak English, I'm using a translator and I didn't understand anything, haha.

[tawdry rock]

im gonna put a perishable negative brainstorm and blueprint in the same shop in ALL your next runs

[warped cradle]

i have a stupid question

[tranquil jacinth]

Thats what I get for loosing a God run

[warped cradle]

if i beat a deck on gold stake, does it give all the stickers for deck?

[tranquil jacinth]

Yes

[warped cradle]

like it does for jokers

[tranquil jacinth]

So if you have s Jimbo it will get white blue orange etc

[last geyser]

But you have to go through each deck from white to gold right?

[warped cradle]

no i meant the decks itself

[tranquil jacinth]

it's impossible to do a gold stake run without beating all previous decks

[warped cradle]

i know for jokers it gives you all the stickers

[warped cradle]

not if you hit unlock all bc you were tired to try to find all the jokers

[tranquil jacinth]

Then you can't earn achievements I don't think

[warped cradle]

whoops

lol

i wasn’t tryna get c++ anyway

[mystic pollen]

If i have this joker and my poker hand is flush and in my poker hand is 3 wild card and two other, will this pot jojer work?

[solemn sonnet]

yay im winner

gold stake green deck is done...

this is by far my favorite deck

[full vortex]

What did you get on the runner

[solemn sonnet]

something around +300 chips

i started playing straights really early and was hanging on a thread but then photograph and hanging chad appeared

[full vortex]

You just gotta lol

Theyre too consistent to not take

[solemn sonnet]

i got photochad on like ante 4-5 so im really lucky that i didnt get the plant

[full vortex]

Cavendish is juicy too

[solemn sonnet]

i can proudly say i have banana with gold sticker now

[full vortex]

I like green deck its fun

[solemn sonnet]

i got it on ante 8 shop LOL

[full vortex]

My gros michel has a higher sticker than my cavendish which is quite funny

Sometimes they just dont wanna go

[marsh swan]

Agreed

[solemn sonnet]

green deck was my favorite deck the moment i unlocked it

anyway im not even going to bother trying to beat black deck

i have it on blue stake

and im not touching it past that point

[mystic pollen]

Good

[reef estuary]

I'm rusty at the game so sorry for asking a relatively simple question, but for endless runs is a 2nd ecto worth? Completely forgot

[tawdry rock]

whats your build

[reef estuary]

1 sec I'll send my jokers and deck

[tawdry rock]

if it depends on 5 cards and you havent deckfixed too well i wouldnt recommend it

[reef estuary]

I'm completely deck fixed dw about that

[tawdry rock]

show :3

[reef estuary]

1 sec my ps isn't letting me send the screenshots to the app so I gotta take a pic of my TV so sorry in advance for the quality LMAO

[last geyser]

Which is better here?

[last geyser]

Also remember that time I had 5 eternal polychrome madness with 11.5x mult lol

[tawdry rock]

holy™ flipping™ flip™

one more flip™ for good measure

[reef estuary]

On abandoned deck btw LMAO

[tawdry rock]

uhh take the ecto yeah go ahead

[strange compass]

300 chips

[last geyser]

Anyone?

[sand lily]

Vagabond vampire is insane

[reef estuary]

Both are risky so it's lowkey just trust your gut

[tawdry rock]

where midas mask

[last geyser]

I’m right here

[quaint stag]

i love vampire sm

[torpid bridge]

Wdym by risky?

[sand lily]

I only like vampire in certain circumstances

[torpid bridge]

Correct

Vampire sucks most of the time

[sand lily]

I also despise ride the bus, excellent username

[unborn cliff]

i hate vampire sm

[torpid bridge]

Why are we sharing braincells

[quaint stag]

i feel like it could use a buff tbh it feels very situational but with midas mask or cartomancer/vagabond it works well

[jovial copper]

functional obelisk run

[quaint stag]

if it was 1.2x it would be so much better imo as a scaling xmult

[unborn cliff]

here win

[torpid bridge]

Export it to a zip of pics. I dont watch videos

[cosmic sun]

people don't feed it hard enough tbh

[unborn cliff]

guy that hates everything

[cosmic sun]

You should value crappy tarot packs more after you get Vampire cause it will turn them into xmult

[quaint stag]

controversial take but i don't like grimbo i think scaling it is way too much effort and losing mult for discards is annoying

[torpid bridge]

Id rather play jokerless than play cards without effects

[quaint stag]

kog pfp peak

[unborn cliff]

playing hands is too much effort

are balatro players disabled?

[cosmic sun]

frankie my beloved

[cloud sinew]

dont be ableist

[quaint stag]

me when i don't want to lose mult for discarding despite jokers like rebate giving value off discards

[torpid bridge]

People who enjoy big hands exist

[unborn cliff]

are balatro players THAT lazy?

[unborn cliff]

it doesnt have to be all or nothing

[cosmic sun]

it's cause people run pairs at gold stake and pairs are spammable

[torpid bridge]

And discard to dig for hands is not valueless

[unborn cliff]

-1 mult for 5 dollars is a good enough trade off

[cloud sinew]

it doesnt reset from discarding, it loses 1 mult per discard. -1 mult for $5+ is very good

[unborn cliff]

guy that hates the best scaling +mult joker in the game

[cloud sinew]

okay well

it's not even top 3 so that's a stretch

[cosmic sun]

You can discard with grimbo

[torpid bridge]

Green is mid tbh

[near dew]

yes

finnally did it

[quaint stag]

it doesn't reset but i don't like when jimbo balatro yells at me for discarding

[unborn cliff]

grimbo is top 1 or 2 in the scaling +mult department

[near dew]

after 105 hours

[torpid bridge]

Pair spammers glaze it so much

But its just mid

[cloud sinew]

red > trousers > bus

[unborn cliff]

i forgot about red

[quaint stag]

red card is goated tbh

[violet lagoon]

Ride the bus fricking sucks

[unborn cliff]

bus is worse than grimbo #IMO because it full resets rather than losing 1 mult

[cloud sinew]

ive had it "fully reset" like 8 times in my 1000 hours, and none of those were forced.

if youre resetting bus, that's a skill issue 99.99% of the time

[quaint stag]

bus is op on abandoned and kinda eh everywhere else that isn't a canigoat/erosion build

i love you canigoat

[unborn cliff]

yeah like obviously bus is better when you dont reset it it's lowkey just a little stressful

[quaint stag]

you will always be the best legendary to me

[unborn cliff]

im a balatro player i cant risk raising my cortisol levels

[cloud sinew]

bus isnt even that much better on abandoned, you just dont need to use any of your brain for it.

you have 2 discards and you can still play faces, you just can't score them

[violet lagoon]

WHY SHOULD YOU NEED IT

[unborn cliff]

kid named not playing face cards

[violet lagoon]

EVEN ON GHOST DECK

[quaint stag]

exactly i like when i don't have to think that hard

[unborn cliff]

scaling +mult

[violet lagoon]

Then pants

[torpid bridge]

Theoretically you dont need a scaling +mult to win

[cloud sinew]

because you get every joker you want, every time /s

[torpid bridge]

🤓

[unborn cliff]

requires a specific hand vs just spamming slop hands

[quaint stag]

trousers is highkey goated

[violet lagoon]

Trousers are peak

[unborn cliff]

trousers IS good but its #LOWKEY not better than bus

[torpid bridge]

Trousers are the best scaling +mult

[harsh relic]

we all riding the bus ✌️✌️

[torpid bridge]

I prefer riding the bussy

[cloud sinew]

it absolutely is better than bus because of how fast it scales and still enabling face card synergy

[violet lagoon]

Yk what I started a new run and got riff raff I'll search for ride the bus and we will see

[unborn cliff]

[violet lagoon]

I bet he will suck ass

[quaint stag]

i will always glaze hologram

[unborn cliff]

ok well uhhhh

shut up lilo

i win

[quaint stag]

hologram certificate is so stupid it's funny

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[cloud sinew]

losing with a joker doesn't make a joker bad inherently, what's way more likely is that you didn't play well

[torpid bridge]

Definitely

[unborn cliff]

me when i glaze top 5 scaling xmult

[quaint stag]

hologoat

[unborn cliff]

i lost with blueprint and brainstorm so that makes them bad jokers

[torpid bridge]

I saw certificate when i had hologram, i insta rejected it cuz i was cooking a straight build

🤓

[unborn cliff]

guy that plays straights with hologram

[torpid bridge]

People cant stop me from playing 5-card hands

[violet lagoon]

I got him right now at the shop guys

[torpid bridge]

Everything is possible with deck fixing

[unborn cliff]

[torpid bridge]

I not only played straights with hologram, but i also played it consistently

[quaint stag]

mfs at violet vessel with 1 hand left and a level 10 straight with no levels anywhere else

[torpid bridge]

Every hand

🤓

Just deck fix harder bud

[unborn cliff]

"why did i lose when i actively played towards antisynergy"

[unborn cliff]

right because deckfixing is so easy on gold stake

[torpid bridge]

Yes i deck fixed on gold stake

[unborn cliff]

anecdotal evidence please save me anecdotal evidence

[torpid bridge]

I dont play lower stake tho

[violet lagoon]

Current situation btw

[torpid bridge]

🤓

[unborn cliff]

What a seed (random). 3 souls before ante 8. Sold the yorik just previous ante.

[sweet pollen]

holy shit

what did i do to deserve this

im coming for you thunk

[violet lagoon]

don't have it anymore

You would still be dead

[unborn cliff]

Idk Canio isn't the greatest

[twin lantern]

Has anyone managed to get Naneif in a random seed? I can fix the deck to have gold kings, but it becomes very difficult to score points after Ante 9.

[vestal copper]

drspectred

[mystic pollen]

Hmmm

[twin lantern]

I keep rerolling to see if I can get a Baron or Idol, but it never comes at the right time.

[mystic pollen]

Interesting

[torpid bridge]

Do you have mime?

[twin lantern]

.

[torpid bridge]

Mime

[twin lantern]

I can finish Ante 8 with plenty of money, but it never comes at the right time.

I almost got it, I had the perfect deckfixing and just needed Baron and Mime.

[torpid bridge]

Well seeds for naneinf are quite rare

You are just unlucky

[twin lantern]

like a bunch of gold polychrome kings with gold ticket

[twin lantern]

oh i see

so it's not necessarely my fault

[violet lagoon]

Doing another run, supernova is better

[torpid bridge]

But not being able to score points after ante 9 is a little bit weird

[twin lantern]

I made a setup to get a lot of gold, I had an arrowhead with brainstorm blueprint and economy jokers.

its plasma deck

[shell dagger]

Many have

Usually you use photochad before you find baron mime

Or idol if it takes long to find it

[cosmic sun]

rerolled from vv into this nightmare

[twin lantern]

oh i see, i was just focusing in money

and deckfixing

[strange compass]

I think ante 10 is when you really start struggling

[unborn flint]

I can’t get past black stake anyone have any tips?

[torpid bridge]

Retrigger builds normally wont struggle until ante 12

[fluid quartz]

if you cant find the baron, go idol and golden ticket, then just farm money until you have the components you need

[torpid bridge]

Highroll

[twin lantern]

i just got arrowhead for points so this make sense now

[jovial copper]

mult is not real, lost in ante 3 because there quite literally wasnt any

[torpid bridge]

Actually

The easiest way is playing small hands

[violet lagoon]

Guys why my hand is getting shorter every round

[unborn flint]

I’m like hella new what does that mean

[torpid bridge]

Like high cards or pairs

[strange compass]

I just died here. The highest I've gotten is ante 13 I think

[violet lagoon]

it was like 5 now it's 4

Im using stuntman

[torpid bridge]

First get a chip joker, a plus mult, better if you can find ones those can scale

[strange compass]

Did you take ectoplasm

[unborn summit]

Hi, are there any mods that rework blue stake? I'm tired of my builds getting exploded by having only two discards. I know it's a skill issue for sure, but I am just plain not smart enough, and I would like to nerf the game to my lack of intelligence.

[strange compass]

Or some other joker that reduces hand size

[violet lagoon]

No

[torpid bridge]

Try to secure your eco by getting eco jokers, or saving hands or keeping your money above 25 for max interest

[unborn summit]

I know the 1.1 update will rework blue stake, but I don't really want to wait

[strange compass]

Hey don't blame yourself bub blue stake is blue stake

[fluid quartz]

blue stake is hell

[torpid bridge]

Try to survive and maintain good sources of income until you can get an xmult joker

Dont be picky about what you will get

Thats my genuine tips

[unborn summit]

Well, I've gotten past it on some decks and am trying to do gold, but like... only 2 discards = dead for most fun builds

[fluid quartz]

dont be afraid to take eternal jokers

[strange compass]

The game is literally begging me to play pairs holy shit 😭

I can see local unc on his knees

[violet lagoon]

It got -1 hand size every ante...

HOLY SHIT WHY VIOLET VESSEL IS THAT

[quick cloak]

dude

what di i take

[strange compass]

Huh

[shell dagger]

Trading card probably

Oh it’s green stake

[sweet pollen]

dude

[shell dagger]

Brainstorm

[unborn summit]

I know the meta is pairs, but like... I keep ending up getting jokers like Baron and Shoot the Moon instead of static mult

And those builds explode if you haven't already fixed your deck

[nocturne frost]

The game is taunting me.
I'm in the last shop of the gold stake black deck run, 4 out of 6 jokers are eternal, the other two are the photochad.

Shop start: Perishable Brainstorm
Reroll: Blueprint
Reroll: Brainstorm

Neither has stickers yet.

[torpid bridge]

Its ok not playing meta

[quick cloak]

holy shop

[unborn flint]

Idk why but I have gotten further on black stake jokerless doing it as a joke but further then I got with jokers

[torpid bridge]

I mean like if it works, it works

Wtf you need to pivot to pairs

[unborn summit]

sure, but like... i would like to actually win

[torpid bridge]

When your deck is consistent enough to play non pair hands

[quick cloak]

eternal summit

[foggy jewel]

Guys, how can I do a run with only high card?

[torpid bridge]

It really depends on the situation

[strange compass]

Oof

[shell dagger]

Very normal on black deck especially

[calm furnace]

here go win

[torpid bridge]

If you watch enough drspectre run, you will see he plays some off meta builds even

[quick cloak]

ik i get it too often

[maiden peak]

Trading card easy
Brainstorm is only as good as a joker it copies so it can be useless if you don’t get anything good
Trading card is immediately working, gets you deck fixing + econ + it’s negative

[torpid bridge]

Cuz the current situation allows it

[quaint stag]

black deck goldstake is worse then being beat with a bat

[shell dagger]

Plasma deck reset for a charm tag with a stuntman or bull in the judgement

[nocturne frost]

My opinion on Black deck has shifted further into positive

[unborn summit]

I think DrSpectre is awesome but like... I don't know if he has any videos where he explains why he makes the decisions he makes

[shell dagger]

All of them pretty much

[torpid bridge]

Like you got a tons of suit changers and you can afford straight flush, and you have the order, wtf you need to play pairs

[quick cloak]

im now purple stake on black deck idk why i keep using this deck

[nocturne frost]

It incentivizes much more cool strategies and asks you to be tight

[shell dagger]

Except the speedruns

[torpid bridge]

Its dependent on the situation

Playing off meta sometimes is the most optimal for the game

[nocturne frost]

Unlike what I consider the worst deck, the nebula deck, which incentivizes you play the most boring way

[unborn summit]

All of them??? Am I stupid or something? Like, I don't hear him explain the math behind why one decision is good over another, or maybe I'm just watching the wrong videos

His recent video on pairs meta was explained very comprehensively

[calm furnace]

there is no off meta, you play what you get

[open thunder]

This is sad

[torpid bridge]

Not really all of them

[shell dagger]

He usually explains every decision more than roffle would for example

[calm furnace]

he over explains everything and this is why i cannot watch him

MAAAYBe

[unborn summit]

Yeah, Roffle absolutely doesn't explain anything

[shell dagger]

But yeah fair enough he’s not delving into probabilities for the whole vid

[calm furnace]

MAAAAAYYBBEEE

[nocturne frost]

I can only watch BU on 1.5x

[maiden peak]

This is the most random collection of jokers I’ve seen 😭

[open thunder]

ik

i was just trying to beat the non-perishable challenge

[nocturne frost]

I also cannot watch his gold stake videos because I play almost exclusively on black deck and all of the seeds he shows are so easy looking

[open thunder]

i mean it worked

[unborn summit]

But maybe something about drspectre's explanations are going over my tiny head or like... I'm looking for something specific that isn't appearing

[calm furnace]

anything works on white stake

[torpid bridge]

Have you tried balala seed

[shell dagger]

What is it

[torpid bridge]

I have failed the seed 5 times

🤓

[calm furnace]

whats the balala seed

[unborn summit]

what does this question mean

[torpid bridge]

Balala

[shell dagger]

Like what specific thing are you looking for an explanation of

[unborn summit]

Like, why a given decision will create more value over another, or why it will be more sustainable to reach the end of ante 8

[torpid bridge]

I only watched dr spectred when i started playing the game

After that i mostly watch multiplayer content

🤓

[nocturne frost]

Btw I would say my current success rate on black deck is 1 in 7, which is embarrassing but it is an improvement

[shell dagger]

Hard to say for sure without knowing specifics

[unborn summit]

I guess that's fair

[shell dagger]

This isn’t a satisfying answer but it comes with experience

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[torpid bridge]

Agree

[unborn summit]

Sometimes truth is not satifsying

[nocturne frost]

Cold takes only

[torpid bridge]

This is really where the skill is

Kids can even spam pairs

[manic zealot]

My biggest erosion in a while

[torpid bridge]

But read the situation

And decides the optimal move

It needs experience

[unborn summit]

I wonder if there is a mod or tool that analyzes your runs and tells you where you could have done better. Because like... in videos that get posted online, everything already works out, but real life play isn't like that

[normal mica]

Been trying to get a unseeded trib run for a couple days and of course when I give up I get it on ancient deck

[unborn flint]

I want rocket but for what

[unborn summit]

And I don't want to waste people's time by asking them to watch my runs if a tool or mod could do it

[torpid bridge]

I think someone had made an AI model that plays balatro

[shell dagger]

I can’t see how it would be feasible for a tool like that to exist

[torpid bridge]

But the model wasnt the best

[shell dagger]

It’s not like chess where there are only a few moves

[nocturne frost]

Like yesterday realized that Ancient Joker is actually really good, because it's not a flush joker, it's not a wild card joker, it's a yet another pairs joker, a weaker photograph that works on non-face cards

[unborn flint]

I’m addicted to chess

[unborn summit]

Chess is exactly what I was thinking of. When I was messing around on chess.com, it would tell me every single move I made that I could have done better

[unborn flint]

What should I get rid of for rocket

[brave goblet]

Absolute madness (I think I rerolled like twice the whole run)

[nocturne frost]

Do dice do anything

[torpid bridge]

How many lucky cards you have

[unborn flint]

Nine

None*

[unborn summit]

Alright, well... good talk, y'all.

[torpid bridge]

Dice

[nocturne frost]

Then get rid of dice

[unborn summit]

I wonder if I should just work on getting all my other decks up to blue stake until 1.1 is out

[unborn flint]

Runners at 45

[unborn summit]

and then just... not play past blue stake until the rework is out

[foggy jewel]

What should I do?

[nocturne frost]

Dice is an amazing joker, but it has to be doing things

[torpid bridge]

Keep the runner

Chips jokers are worth x2 or even x3

[serene forge]

that selection of sun, chariot, and lovers is absolutely going to make or break your run

[torpid bridge]

Get brainstorm

[torpid bridge]

Get c++ before 1.1 is out

[foggy jewel]

Ok

[last geyser]

Do I take this?

[nocturne frost]

Yes

Very yes

[last geyser]

Okk

[torpid bridge]

Absolutely

[cinder crater]

i dare som1 to get gold stake on the mound

[shell dagger]

It’s better than invis that’s for sure

[nocturne frost]

And you still have a guaranteed Hex slot

[shell dagger]

I’ve won a gold stake run with an identical start before lol

[serene forge]

unironically yes

it's foil

[torpid bridge]

50 chips is huge early game

[last geyser]

What about this?

[shell dagger]

Fist better

[unborn flint]

W

[serene forge]

buy and sell because rental is bad but also don't take rare tags

they suck

[torpid bridge]

I would take duo tho

[last geyser]

I’m just taking it for gold sticker

[shell dagger]

No more skipping for rare jokers

[last geyser]

Hmm ok

[serene forge]

wat

[shell dagger]

It will destroy your economy

[serene forge]

don't do that

[last geyser]

I have one left

It’s baron 😥

[shell dagger]

Take sticker jokers in the end when you know you’ve won

[nocturne frost]

If it was without the gold sticker I would have taken it without even a thought

[serene forge]

you're not getting a baron build on gold stake

get a winning run first and then roll down for it

[last geyser]

Hmm ok

[foggy jewel]

I think I've won

[violet lagoon]

Guys I swear to god if violet vessel comes I will eat one of you

[serene forge]

baron from rare tag is still a 1/20 chance btw

[serene forge]

how

[last geyser]

Oh 😭

[torpid bridge]

[foggy jewel]

I'm lucky i guess

[last geyser]

Rentals make me sad

[upbeat jewel]

How rarely do you guys ever go with a straight build. Considering how much deck manipulation and jokers for it to be consistent i tend to switch to a different hand

[terse vale]

why are sum people who have never been blue before blue :?

[last geyser]

Like 1/3

Idk

[torpid bridge]

Rare for me tho

[teal peak]

This ain’t seeded bro

[torpid bridge]

If i play 5-card hand, its either 5oak, f5

[glad viper]

lucky

[upbeat jewel]

Like at most I never stay with a straight build. I usually use it a bit to generate specter cards and then change build

[torpid bridge]

I stick to it if it works consistently enough

[cinder crater]

man i cant get the brainstorm :(

[upbeat jewel]

Then there are people who play only pair propably

[cosmic sun]

win streak 3

[torpid bridge]

Like that one time i got superposition, manage to turn half my deck into a q k j 10

[last geyser]

😭😭

[torpid bridge]

With a very uniform distribution

[teal peak]

do u think i can get naneif

[glad viper]

maybe

[torpid bridge]

Then i sticked with it till the end

[upbeat jewel]

But usually to get to that point takes a lot of resources

[torpid bridge]

It came very naturally

[teal peak]

ok i shud ditch the trib tho right and go straight for baron mime

[torpid bridge]

I was scaling runner

So superposition was quite free

[tranquil steppe]

Econ, schmecon

[glad viper]

idfk

[torpid bridge]

Got a lot of death, strength, suit changers

[violet lagoon]

Got the leaf nvm

[manic zealot]

Rental city

[torpid bridge]

Like its really dependant on the situation

Sometimes it comes to u very naturally

And no needs to pivot at that point

Even tho the build seems anti synergies

But it works

[serene forge]

no I meant

how is this a win at all

[serene forge]

ewwwwww

[tawdry rock]

hell yeah

[foggy jewel]

Oh

[vestal copper]

here, win

[foggy jewel]

😭

[tawdry rock]

find a luchador

you really really need to find a luchador

[foggy jewel]

Ok

[vestal copper]

pray for lucha, kill the grati

[torpid bridge]

What was the negative one

[empty orbit]

what is theoreticaly seen the best deck to go goldstake ?

[torpid bridge]

Blackdeck

[vestal copper]

ghost prob

[torpid bridge]

Why is ghost the best tbf?

Cuz spectral can help with heavy deck fixing?

Then isnt zodiac better?

[manic zealot]

Funny shop

[torpid bridge]

Cuz more tarot

[vestal copper]

the juicy immolates

[foggy jewel]

Green joker

[torpid bridge]

How big was it?

[empty orbit]

I try out both I give up on Checkerd

[torpid bridge]

I think if you can get another x mult you can survive

[vestal copper]

here, pray

[torpid bridge]

Yellow is very easy

[gentle island]

average unseeded balatro run

[foggy jewel]

Only +3, I should sell it

[torpid bridge]

Just boring

Pray for luchador ig

[vestal copper]

yellow being boring is a very false sentence

[torpid bridge]

Its true

[vestal copper]

you are lying

[torpid bridge]

Cuz iam the one who says it

[torpid bridge]

😎

[vestal copper]

[gentle island]

its joever bro

[torpid bridge]

Wont help much

[open thunder]

Should I sell a canio on abandoned deck or should I look for a pareidolia

[torpid bridge]

Sell

Or keep it if you believe you can highroll

[vestal copper]

sac it to the dagger

[torpid bridge]

Trust your guts

[open thunder]

its gone

[vestal copper]

how much money did you have

before selling

[last geyser]

Do I take this

[vestal copper]

doesnt fit in the build

[torpid bridge]

He doesnt have other xmult joker

🤓

Doesnt have many choices tbh

[last geyser]

But what do I sell

Sixth sense ?

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

U are on ghost deck

[last geyser]

Aight

[foggy jewel]

[torpid bridge]

Spectrals are plenty

[last geyser]

Wait

[torpid bridge]

Get the chip joker

Replace delayed with it

[last geyser]

Do I take this?!

[torpid bridge]

Sure you do

[last geyser]

For what?

[foggy jewel]

Ok

[torpid bridge]

It will give you another swash eternal

[last geyser]

Oh

[torpid bridge]

🤓

[last geyser]

So I don’t take ?

[torpid bridge]

Ywah i dont see the point

[last geyser]

Aight

[last geyser]

Also

[torpid bridge]

Trading is doing good work

[last geyser]

Runner is on 0

[torpid bridge]

Sell it

🙂

[last geyser]

Ok

[torpid bridge]

Get the invis

Pray it wont hit swash eternal

Or trading

[tranquil steppe]

Definitely the most rentals I’ve had in one run. Only one was for a gold sticker

[torpid bridge]

Swash is actually not bad tho

[vestal copper]

rental vaga sounds so peak

[cosmic sun]

they could get egg then slowly start replacing their econ jokers

runner possibly

[last geyser]

Should I sell everything hex holo then ankh it ?

[torpid bridge]

No

[last geyser]

Ok

[torpid bridge]

Hex will hit swash

[last geyser]

Sorry

[torpid bridge]

🤓

[cosmic sun]

immo

[last geyser]

No it’s foil

[torpid bridge]

Oh yeah

Actually

[last geyser]

So should I do it then!?

Wait

But

Holo is rental

[torpid bridge]

Ank will kill holo

Not ank

[last geyser]

How

[torpid bridge]

Ank can kill holo

[vestal copper]

IMMOLATE

[last geyser]

Ohh

Right

[torpid bridge]

Its 50/50

[last geyser]

Ok

[vestal copper]

immofuckinglate

[last geyser]

I’ll just take familiar

[late helm]

genuinely majestic run

[vestal copper]

qell

[torpid bridge]

Sane play

[late helm]

wee at 2k

[torpid bridge]

Insta scales holo is not bad

[vestal copper]

oh fuck they had holo

im a fraudulent one there

still immolate tho 🤤

[foggy jewel]

Why did I take the boss tag? 😭

[last geyser]

Should I sell to the moon and trading before invis?

[torpid bridge]

How big is your holo?

[last geyser]

1.75

2.0 actually

[torpid bridge]

2 to the moon is not bad tbf

[weak bane]

is 4 blueprint + baron better then 3 blueprint 1 baron and 1 mime?

[torpid bridge]

You are crazy rich

[last geyser]

So I sell trading ?

[torpid bridge]

Yeah kinda

[last geyser]

Ggs

It hit swash

[torpid bridge]

See

It always hits the wrong one

[vestal copper]

invisible curse

[torpid bridge]

The illusion of choice

[vestal copper]

canio curse little brother

[torpid bridge]

At least you have free 100 chips

[pallid ferry]

ok then

[torpid bridge]

Id rather take blue joker

[pallid ferry]

im so lucky i cant believe i got a shop 1 blue joker

[last geyser]

I hate this game sometimes

[pallid ferry]

yeah thats probably the safe way, shop 1 bp/bs is kind of sketchy since you dont really have anything to copy i think

[pallid ferry]

well i mean that’s a kind of blue joker

[hallow zenith]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[empty orbit]

now u just need the lucky cat

checkers deck (orange stake) I'm going so far for a hearth flush build but need points ... shall I use the left one ?

[torpid bridge]

Ywah that works

Blue joker is quite good

[vestal copper]

photochad on red stake

you might win with this joker layout ngl

[empty orbit]

I have 0 enchanted cards and how I know my luck from the last 82 no I will not win 🤣 but I shall try

yeah lost 🫡

[torpid bridge]

Blackboard isnt good with flush build

Especially heart flush

[empty orbit]

yeah ... needet it for the first 3 Ante didn't see the symbol

[last geyser]

I pivoted to 4 of a kind kings with the family

Hopefully I roll into baron before ante 8 🤕

[weak bane]

is 4 blueprint + baron better then 3 blueprint 1 baron and 1 mime?

[quick cloak]

okay uhhh

sure ig

[last geyser]

No

[quick cloak]

my holo has nothing rn do i kill it or smt else

[empty orbit]

I wish I could play any other build buty luck is like 0% 🤣 did try pair build and 4 of a kind king 😅 that did work even less

[weak bane]

S the mime is better ?

[deep fossil]

Open the packs

Don’t buy brainstorm

[quick cloak]

really?

[deep fossil]

No

[quick cloak]

this is prob the first tume i acc dk what ti do

[last geyser]

Omg

[last geyser]

This mfer

[glad bronze]

I wonder what joker I should sell

[torpid bridge]

Dont take it

[primal heath]

Its taunting you

[last geyser]

I need this stupid gold sticker

It’s the last one

[torpid bridge]

But its perish

[last geyser]

Yeah I’ll just try win with 4

[torpid bridge]

Can you win in 5 rounds?

If you are confident go ahead

[last geyser]

Idk maybe

[serene forge]

seems like that wasn't a free win at all huh

[serene forge]

nothing

[wary willow]

Whats the best card in the deck to build idol around

[serene forge]

unless you really need those hiero cards for some reason

[torpid bridge]

Face cards, or 2 3 5

[serene forge]

faces or 2 3 4 5

[last geyser]

Do I take this ?

[serene forge]

because of sock/hack

[wary willow]

because of hack?

ah

ok

[torpid bridge]

Take it ig

Its jimbo

[last geyser]

I don’t really want to

But ig I have to

[primal heath]

I got a negative order from a judgement

never gotten a negative joker from a judgement before

🫃

[pastel hatch]

fun black deck gaming

[edgy whale]

hellow fellas

[karmic garnet]

Hello

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[shy topaz]

is ectoplasm worth it??

[serene forge]

maybe

sell rebate and chad if you do

[pallid ferry]

buy this to help feed vampire?

[serene forge]

ye

[foggy jewel]

What should I do?

[serene forge]

riff

go next

[pallid ferry]

what should i sell for it ?

[karmic garnet]

I'd go riff Raff

[serene forge]

I hate Painted Deck

[pallid ferry]

your best bet is riff raff i think

[serene forge]

whats ur mercury level

[pallid ferry]

same its rough...

[terse dock]

Ruination shall surely befall me

[pallid ferry]

4 so its 55x5 base

[serene forge]

hmmmmm

idk if you can give up sly

[pallid ferry]

its also at 15 mult with supernova

[serene forge]

maybe it's a skip actually?

[pallid ferry]

may be

[edgy whale]

can somebody help me? does this hand makes sense with that joker which let's u to make flush oe straights with 4 cards?

it's not like straight poker, more like including both the poker hands separately rather than overlapping?

[pallid ferry]

i'll get more enhancements later plus there's already some i havent fed to vamp and i have those in my inventory

[serene forge]

yea it has a straight and a flush so its a straight flush

[rich mauve]

wait wtf I didn't know this

[pallid ferry]

it has the straight (7 6 5 4) and the flush (J 6 5 4) so yeah, never seen this before though thats pretty neat

thanks 4 fingers

[edgy whale]

not like straight flush but more like the hand consists of both straight + flush right???

[rich mauve]

yes

it is what game checks apparently

[edgy whale]

I know brohh when I discovered this, i felt very strange 😅😅

[pallid ferry]

also the boss was arm so i just lost all my pair levels lol

[serene forge]

ouch

[pallid ferry]

hmm,,

wish i was on any deck but painted

[pastel hatch]

lowkey just drop brainstorm

[ancient gyro]

first run in over like three weeks

damn

[pallid ferry]

this is gold stake

[foggy jewel]

Riff raff gave me smiley face

[ancient gyro]

ik

[pallid ferry]

honestly doesnt seem like a bad play

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[pallid ferry]

oh sorry i shouldve like said "this is peak gold stake" i worded that really weirdly

[pastel hatch]

yeah i think it is actually the play so you can stack xmult after supernova

but like

[edgy whale]

what would u choose?

YORICK OR CANIO?

early game...

[pastel hatch]

gold stake or white stake

[edgy whale]

actually purple...

[pallid ferry]

probably yo rick since its easier to set up although it depends on if its blue stake or above or not

[pastel hatch]

i think either is fine

yorick way simpler though

[pallid ferry]

yeah

probably my favorite legendary tbh i love yorick

[edgy whale]

canio needs a specific type of path/build to get the most outta it

[pastel hatch]

yes kinda

not really

just a bunch of tarot cards

[edgy whale]

me too yorick ma boii 🗿🗿

[fierce wedge]

hey guys i dont know if this is the right place to post it but i beat balatro while running a mile IRL and i thought you guys might enjoy it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxDmRS-cPhs

[pastel hatch]

omg?

[pallid ferry]

honestly a lot of the time i play canio i never get any hanged man tarots and just rely on incantation, grim, familiar, or immolate to snipe face cards

[pastel hatch]

it do be like that

[pallid ferry]

😔

[pastel hatch]

hanged man hates you on every canio seed
