[compact gazelle]

go for it

[cosmic sun]

it generates value

[terse vale]

idk the levels they have

[simple jacinth]

bram poker is the best name for a challenge

[autumn hemlock]

oh that one...

[deep fossil]

Why are yall Chinese reacting me ?

[tranquil steppe]

Eternal shoot the moon was a mistake

[simple jacinth]

it truly meats requirements

[autumn hemlock]

yeah i have to agree

[cosmic sun]

Level 3 + foiled 9, with crystal ball I could probably leverage campfire a bit more

[deep fossil]

Stop it

[ancient gyro]

wdym

[terse vale]

oh yeah foil nine

[river hawk]

thats like my entire source of mult bro

[cosmic sun]

Plus Square might not be scaling too hard

[river hawk]

i have a insane madness tho

[unreal topaz]

cloud 9 is foil, it can supplement chips before finding mercuries/blue seals

[terse vale]

i was just about to ping you lmao
but I do not have a japanese keyboard and idk your actual user

[unreal topaz]

its early enough

[terse vale]

yeah ur right

for vv

[ancient gyro]

not that you can even make use of it

[tranquil steppe]

He’s succulentsupplecheeks

[terse vale]

and atp

you wouldn’t even need lucha

[cosmic sun]

I could have just not taken it on principle of being spoonfed but we ball

[river hawk]

Still every time i get a legendary i will always sell something

Even if its shit i need to know

[fringe nebula]

get verdant'd

[ancient gyro]

you had two other good choices

[tranquil steppe]

lol I’ve done that before. It hurts when you pass on a Soul

[ancient gyro]

arguably better

m

[tranquil steppe]

How dare he have fun

How dare he play how he wants

[ancient gyro]

how dare have a discussion in a discussion chat

anyways

[unreal topaz]

it used to hurt, but now it's funny

[tranquil steppe]

You’re with the zebra crew

[warped mango]

which is your favourite combo?

[karmic garnet]

How do I compensate with a bad, like I don't want the best stuff but what am I supposed to do when no mult or chip jokers in the shop

[ancient gyro]

don't lump me with the monochrome horse

[cosmic sun]

I'm sending the seed after this dawg

[hybrid tendon]

🦓

[unreal topaz]

usually ppl saying this are ignoring something powerful

[cosmic sun]

"Here is all the xmult"

[terse vale]

yeaah

[ancient gyro]

rtb is a good joker 👅 🗣️

since when

[unreal topaz]

it used to give +2 mult per hand played wayyy back in the demo at one point

[warped mango]

what

[tepid lichen]

Is this a sign to build for flushes

[unreal topaz]

i gotta find the vid

[fringe nebula]

freshly out of a freezer take

[terse vale]

no !

[karmic garnet]

Idk man not sure if 8 mult is powerful

[terse vale]

?

what joker

[warped mango]

which do you think is the best sinergy in the game?

[terse vale]

andy yorick

[fringe nebula]

vampire marble joker obviously

[warped mango]

photochad

[terse vale]

I mean its good but like not the best

[tidal pawn]

vampire midas mask

[warped mango]

no no

madness and eternal jokers

[hybrid tendon]

bp bs

[ancient gyro]

most entertaining versatile is stuntman fist purely for early game steamroll

[cosmic sun]

chips mult and xmult

[karmic garnet]

I was just giving an example that's all

[fringe nebula]

vagabond flower pot

[median gust]

Hey why was this different ? Was it bc it was copied??

I’ve never seen that

[terse vale]

maple brown oatmeal is soooo fucking good

[median gust]

But why red deck

[tidal pawn]

yea copied jokers don't have the same back as the rest

red deck is the default deck

[tepid lichen]

its the default deck ig

[median gust]

Interesting ! Thanks

[terse vale]

ok well what do you think of green joker

[median gust]

default skin

[terse vale]

or like obelisk

[unreal topaz]

keep in mind winning in fewer hands gives you extra money

which gives you more options

[terse vale]

I just remembered kami thought I was like 26 lol

[cosmic sun]

I'm not buying it but here is yet another crazy shop from this run

[unreal topaz]

try sending a seed you lost due to "bad shops"

i'll let you know what you missed

[ancient gyro]

what do you think of

[terse vale]

good idea

[fringe nebula]

have more money, reroll more, or just try to survive the early game and wait

[karmic garnet]

Say less cause I don't want to grab an eternal that's just gonna be worse in the end

[cosmic sun]

The shop sucks

[unreal topaz]

that seems like the issue

[ancient gyro]

you can have two dead eternals in your final build who cares

[unreal topaz]

early eternal +mult gives you short term safety

which is invaluable

usually you need 4 jokers max to beat violet vessel

[ancient gyro]

jolly is one of my most frequent eternal pickups from mostly streaking and black deck

[fringe nebula]

brother i have picked eternal rental jimbo just to survive earlygame before

i still won

[rare quail]

Hello, I beat a challenge so I should have gotten the Rule Bender achievement on steam, but I didn't get it. I even beat a ghost deck gold stake run to see if I would get it after but I didn't.

Sorry if this isn't the right channel to ask questions

[cosmic sun]

how are you gonna survive gold stake @karmic garnet

[karmic garnet]

Well I'm not Balatro university I just made it to blue stake a couple of days ago😭

[tranquil steppe]

You do what you gotta do

[ancient gyro]

brooke kept a r1 perishable rental cola on black and still won with it despite running on questionable decision making

[karmic garnet]

Idk keep trying I guess

I don't plan on just quitting

[ancient gyro]

plan on being more divergent

[cosmic sun]

imma be more neurodivergent

[limber loom]

[karmic garnet]

7IZLP7H3
Red Deck
Blue Stake

[ancient gyro]

@unreal topaz

gs

[unreal topaz]

yea i was gonna

[ancient gyro]

o

[terse vale]

seems fine to me

i’d take

[cosmic sun]

verdant leaf btw

[terse vale]

dude

[ancient gyro]

🥀

[unreal topaz]

did you miss investment tag? @karmic garnet

[terse vale]

I must be playing on the wrong seed 😭

[finite palm]

OOPS

[cosmic sun]

6.5x holo

[ancient gyro]

@karmic garnet this cannot be the seed you're struggling on

[terse vale]

this is getting ridiculous

[cosmic sun]

BUGGED game

the shops cannot be this free

[karmic garnet]

I made it to ante 6 then died

[unreal topaz]

ikr

[unreal topaz]

ohh its a money management issue

[serene forge]

I hate Blooddtonr

[unreal topaz]

okay then

[ancient gyro]

your initial point was saying you had horrible shops

most definitely

[karmic garnet]

Nope pure skill issue tbh

I had plenty of money

[ancient gyro]

econ management is a majority of the performance snowball

[serene forge]

did you get needled

[ancient gyro]

and not playing pairs I suppose

[serene forge]

I don't know how else you lose with this start

[unreal topaz]

yeah skill issue is a money issue

[ancient gyro]

must have been hard countered by 2 of the only bosses

[fringe nebula]

you serious?

[ancient gyro]

otherwise

idgi

[sharp plank]

Take Card Sharp

[cosmic sun]

Take Card Shart

[karmic garnet]

I guess

[serene forge]

I checked the seed

ante 6 is wheel

ante 7 is serpent

[ancient gyro]

🥀

[serene forge]

how the fuck did you lose dawg

[ancient gyro]

and if you close your eyes

[karmic garnet]

Still kinda new to the game

[minor portal]

Jimbo himself ended the run

[serene forge]

also if you didn't take ante 1 investment you still get rebate in the next ante 1 shop lmfao

oh ante 4 has eternal bloodstone i get it now

[karmic garnet]

I got 24 wins, I'm trying my best man

I don't even have blood stone unlocked

[ancient gyro]

oh thank god

[serene forge]

what do you not have

missing unlocks fucks with the seed a little

[karmic garnet]

126/150

[ancient gyro]

you're still worth saving

[unreal topaz]

im probably supposed to drop rebate here? esp with a gold card and purple seals in the deck already

[serene forge]

yea

[fringe nebula]

yeah idk man

[sharp plank]

Fuck rebate

[unreal topaz]

damn i didnt see a clean rebate

[sharp plank]

Go next

[unreal topaz]

was that off the riff raff?

[karmic garnet]

Like I said I'm not that great at the game

[tranquil steppe]

Uh yea. It’s perishable too

[unreal topaz]

omg i forgot they didnt play on gold stake

its not as bad on blue stake

[median gust]

Rebate I didn’t even know how to use

[ancient gyro]

find a rank it says, gain 5-6 moola

[unreal topaz]

i wanna try and do something interesting with this now

[ancient gyro]

o

[unreal topaz]

could be fun

esp with 2 purple seals in the deck already

[serene forge]

discard = money

a lot of money

[serene forge]

8ball run incoming

[median gust]

Oh yea

I started using it on gold stakes

Bc it’s so useful

[manic talon]

i would, personally had a lot of experience getting shafted from no jokers on ante 1 and 2 so the guaranteed 2 jokers from 4 dollars is great, and besides unlike plasma who doesnt actually have a lot of jokers that work on it, Checkered can get away with playing non-flushes if it comes down to it your real misses are like 5 jokers, 3 of em are uncommon

[median gust]

Before I didn’t realize I could get like $25 per discard if all ur cards are the same thing 🤣🤣

Just play hands until u have it then discard

Can be insanely useful so I always look out for it

[unreal topaz]

gold or glass?

[median gust]

Gold imo

[unreal topaz]

yea i was thinking gold

i can probably make it glass later if i want

[serene forge]

gold

mime is there

[unreal topaz]

yeah only ante 5

[manic talon]

fucked up and twisted its only a choose 1

[unreal topaz]

ante 7 i'd do glass

[serene forge]

one of the few satisfying things about endless is using rebate on a fully fixed deck with 4 copy jokers and getting over 500 dollars per round

then it stops becoming interesting because the animation is so fucking long ong

[serene forge]

jack

next

[unreal topaz]

the standard packs have been too kind

and its an 8

[median gust]

Nice run

Red seal and metal is great !!

[cyan sparrow]

your jokers look anime

[olive basin]

Not blue print-chan

[cyan sparrow]

did you feminize jimbo

what about femboys

[serene forge]

femboys are indeed real but ok

[karmic garnet]

I haven't even done anything

[icy turret]

Bruh

[teal peak]

Yo my nanief high score dissapeared from my stats

[terse vale]

it resets your score

[unreal topaz]

13 billion finish, that was fun

[teal peak]

Broooo why 🫩now I can’t flex

[unreal topaz]

idk what they missed but mime+brainstorm was insane econ

and score

[unreal topaz]

actually that was much easier than my average gold stake run

like what was supposed to be difficult?

[teal peak]

Is gng talking to urself

[unreal topaz]

someone sent a seed they had "bad shops" on

[unreal topaz]

this seed was fun but it felt much easier than my average gold stake run

[manic talon]

rare fortune teller W (its not really a W i got a lv 26 flush)

[shell dagger]

9 streak died bc I didn’t take loyalty card…

[unreal topaz]

its always the needle on blue deck streaks

[shell dagger]

6 hands I was raking in parking money

21 rerolls by ante 4 is rare

[unreal topaz]

fell asleep at the wheel?

[mystic sequoia]

Finally got c+

[shell dagger]

Yeah probably

Should’ve won this one

[unreal topaz]

yeaa

happens

[karmic garnet]

I haven't made it to gold stake but ggs

[unreal topaz]

like what did you miss?

bc ante 1 had investment tag

ante 2 had riff raff, seed money, and i think purple seals came early on

also mime was early

there was a card sharp ante 1

seems straightforward

[karmic garnet]

Don't know I'm just bad and blame the shop for my losses

[unreal topaz]

i was hoping to find something specific that you overlooked

so it could be instructive

[karmic garnet]

Idk I just try to look for things that'll help me score high

So I tend to avoid spectral packs and certain jokers like 8 ball and the ones that give spectral cards

[unreal topaz]

better would be to just look for enough scoring to get by and as much value generation as you can

stuff like xmult is powerful long term but early on the most powerful jokers are the ones that give you money

[lament hornet]

Pareidolia
Midas Mask
Ceremonial Dagger
Invis Joker
Satellite
Stone Joker,

All that's left for c++! Wish me luck :)

[unreal topaz]

you can probably hold onto those longer than you'd think, even taking them as eternal is usually fine

[unreal topaz]

slippery uncommons

stone joker in particular

[karmic garnet]

I'll open my viewpoints then

But also sometimes the shop dead ass just doesn't give me jokers on rerolls almost half the time,idk what to do when that happens

[unreal topaz]

you have to be patient, most rerolls won't give you what you're looking for when you have an established build

thats why you can never have too much money

[karmic garnet]

I usually grab rebate, egg, and golden joner

Golden Jonkler

[unreal topaz]

those are good, that seed had mime which i used for money long term

[tranquil steppe]

Sooooo that’s a free win

[unreal topaz]

also gold cards, and seals from standard packs

[unreal topaz]

those make money without taking up joker slots

[ancient gyro]

checkered has less "bad" hits yeah

[unreal topaz]

which is particularly powerful

they get even better with tarot cards

[karmic garnet]

That's true

[unreal topaz]

dont sleep on lucky cards either

[vital geyser]

does the brainstorm not copy the 6s?

[unreal topaz]

they are not compatible

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodtone

[peak plinth]

Natural negative brainstorm😮😮😮😮

[vital geyser]

oh thats very good to know thanks chef

[unreal topaz]

you can see this by copying sixes with brainstorm and then trying to move brainstorm

[serene forge]

holy hell

[karmic garnet]

I use everything in tarot's except for the ones that switch suits

[opal canopy]

What are our opinions on chicot

[peak plinth]

I hope it get a bloodstone so I can get double the procs

[unreal topaz]

powerful but slightly boring

[hollow lodge]

SOULS CAN APPEAR THERE???

I thought they were Arcana Pack only

[subtle drum]

nah

[karmic garnet]

Never gotten it but it seems really good

[subtle drum]

goated

[vital geyser]

oh yea there it is

[hollow lodge]

Chicot is really good if you get it Negative

[opal canopy]

It’s quite literally a spectral card what did you expect

[heady fable]

Do I deserve public execution for this build?

[opal canopy]

Yes

[hollow lodge]

I just haven't seen it, or Black Hole in there, so I expected them to be exclusive

[karmic garnet]

Oh yeah and thanks @unreal topaz

[opal canopy]

You must die for this war crime

[fringe nebula]

if you don't want to get needle'd, vessel'd, wall'd, eye'd, mouth'd, water'd

chicot is there

[heady fable]

I did

[unreal topaz]

np! also blue seals are busted, especially if you play pairs

[heady fable]

I had retcon but I forgot to rerole 😭

[unreal topaz]

you prob figured that out but it's good to keep in mind

[opal canopy]

Fav decks?

[karmic garnet]

Pairs are my most played card

[heady fable]

Ghost, Plasma, Red

[opal canopy]

Blue,abandoned,ghost

[karmic garnet]

Oh yeah how do I know what's my most played hand for obelisk if my most played hand switches

[opal canopy]

Check the hand cheat sheet

It should say there

[hollow lodge]

Perkeo is really good when you have actual scoring, and don't manage to lose ante 2 on Plasma Deck

[opal canopy]

How the heck do you lose on ante 2 with plasma

[unreal topaz]

say, if you played 15 pairs, all the other hands can get up to 15, but the obelisk resets if you play 16 of any hand

[hollow lodge]

I wasn't keeping track of my hands left, and played high cards looking for a gold card.

[unreal topaz]

pre blue stake too

[karmic garnet]

When you put it like that it sounds bad to use

[sand lily]

Violet vessel makes me act like a violent vassal

[unreal topaz]

obelisk is very powerful

[opal canopy]

Snake makes me wanna die

[karmic garnet]

It sounds powerful but it'll eventually get reset right?

[surreal spruce]

No

If you play right with it

[sand lily]

Should I take eternal seance to get the gold sticker out of the way?

[karmic garnet]

I'm thinking of this

[unreal topaz]

nope, with deckfixing even in endless it won't reset usually

if you plan it out right

[surreal spruce]

That’s not realistically going to happen

[opal canopy]

Uh Ja

[harsh relic]

yas

[unreal topaz]

you only play like 4-6 hands per round, and if you play pairs first you can play 2 pair, high card, flushes, straights, 3oak, et cetera

you have so many options

[hollow lodge]

Blue Stake should cease to exist by it's own hands

[karmic garnet]

Ohhhh okay

[hollow lodge]

I lost a Baron Blueprint start on my favorite deck to Blue Stake being included in Gold Stake

[unreal topaz]

i've gone to ante 13 with obelisk and played flush house, 5oak, and flush fives

at that point

[opal canopy]

How do people have a full king deck by ante 7

[unreal topaz]

usually it's early purple seals

[opal canopy]

My deck is gets no changes

[unreal topaz]

or tarot merchant sometimes

[hollow lodge]

A lotta Dead, Hanged Men, And Purple Seals

[subtle drum]

cos they’re cheating frfr

[lunar zealot]

Obelisk does sound bad to use

it's not an unreasonable claim to make

[subtle drum]

obelisk is ass

[lunar zealot]

many people like you have said the same thing

[subtle drum]

lmao

[hollow lodge]

Obelisk is too much work to get being good

[sand lily]

Now I'm in a weird spot. I guess I should play queens and leave the kings in hand?

[lunar zealot]

but obelisk can and is one of the strongest jokers in the game

[unreal topaz]

you also dont need a full king deck, you just need a small enough deck where you draw the same exact hand every round

[hollow lodge]

Probably?

[lunar zealot]

and there's almost no jokers as strong as it

[hollow lodge]

Buff High Card tho

[primal eagle]

obelisk sucks because it seems too large for the inside of my

[sand lily]

That was the plan with eternal splash

[lunar zealot]

just by pure numbers alone, x0.2 mult per hand is x0.8 mult per round, and x2.4 mult per ante

[opal canopy]

Grab empress

[vital geyser]

do i get sock here?

[lunar zealot]

for context, yorick is around x1.3 mult per ante

[glad viper]

do i take the stencil

[unreal topaz]

you should do one or the other, not both

[hollow lodge]

Which Legendary joker is the best of the 2 best, Triboulet, or Perkeo?

[opal canopy]

I would replace smile

[lunar zealot]

it's hard to use but it's always going to be worth it because it literally scales faster than a legendary joker

[glad viper]

i could just ruin the whole run for the fuck of it

[hollow lodge]

Do it

[primal eagle]

whats the point

[lunar zealot]

Perkeo but also neither of the two are that great on gold stake

[glad viper]

chaos

[opal canopy]

Perkeo

[unreal topaz]

triboulet is good enough scoring for ante 8, all you need is money and tarot cards to support him

baron gets sold

[vital geyser]

i thought so

[lunar zealot]

and emergency in case you get fucked ofc

[sand lily]

but gold sticker

[primal eagle]

stencil does NOT give you a free reroll every round

[hollow lodge]

Imo, Triboulet is usually the better one. Some retriggers and light deck fixing and you're fine for a while

[primal eagle]

what

[hollow lodge]

Long enough to get your stuff together

[lunar zealot]

why ask then if you don't like the answer

if you like triboulet then fine we won't stop you

[unreal topaz]

you can get baron later, i would consider selling baron a safe play to make gold sticker triboulet more likely

dont hold onto too many jokers

[hollow lodge]

What makes you think I don't like the answer??? I literally just wanted to start a small conversation Servine

[sand lily]

I will sell baron if something better comes along

[lunar zealot]

but perkeo is statistically speaking better in more scenarios even if triboulet is quite strong

[unreal topaz]

riff raff

take a joker off riff raff

[primal eagle]

for endless it's the 2nd best, for ante 8 its the 5th legendary

[sand lily]

This is where I'm at rn

[lunar zealot]

Just save youe money

you can beat basically everything except the boss blinds that fuck you

[primal eagle]

i would say for endless trib has more use cases than double chicot

and is easier

hence 2nd

[lunar zealot]

Oh hey i reached my stop

[unreal topaz]

well rerolling for tarots is reasonable

[lunar zealot]

and retriggers ofc but generally you're on ante 2 so

Make more money

Make money now to make more money later

[unreal topaz]

rerolling does that

kinda

maybe

[lunar zealot]

True...

just don't overspend

[unreal topaz]

maybe theres an immolate in the shop queue!

[lunar zealot]

if you find like a midas you're in bidnes

[sand lily]

TRADING CARD :pog:

[lunar zealot]

Eh good enough

money AND deckfixing?

Satisfactory

[sand lily]

should I ditch raised fist or cartomancer?

[unreal topaz]

okay now you sell either fist or baron, i'd sell baron

[lunar zealot]

i'd reroll a couple times here

[sand lily]

oh rite baron

[lunar zealot]

baron needs a sticker

[sand lily]

but sticker...

nah trib is legendary I'm selling it

[unreal topaz]

baron sticker happens eventually

[sand lily]

*it being baron

If I find a mime later I'm killing someone

[unreal topaz]

seems greedy to hold splash and baron

[ancient gyro]

chicot can naneinf while trib can't 🗣️

[subtle drum]

i volunteer

🥀

[opal canopy]

Me when strength saves the run:

[unreal topaz]

welllll, with the help of turtle bean....

triboulet could

you would have to get triboulet after ante 16 tho i think

[ancient gyro]

bbut that's just bean

bb

[unreal topaz]

yea

[warped mango]

hi

[serene forge]

no you should play the kings too

[unreal topaz]

chicot gets more hand size than bean long term if you get five of him

[serene forge]

baron sucks

[sand lily]

should I be buying planet merchant?

[ancient gyro]

ugh I'm 2 days sober from terraria something needs to change

[unreal topaz]

nonono, you want tarot cards and gold stickers

and spectral cards

planets block all of those

[serene forge]

never ever take planet merchant unless you're trying to fuel constellation

[hollow lodge]

I hope they let Blueprint and Brainstorm copy Chicot

[serene forge]

it is actively bad 99% of the time

[sand lily]

I'm just a little concerned about chips

[lunar zealot]

you have triboulet

[ancient gyro]

what if baron was woke

[lunar zealot]

Chips are not the problem here

[unreal topaz]

you'll get planets eventually

[lunar zealot]

boss blinds are

[hollow lodge]

It's a baron

[unreal topaz]

you're on ghost deck too

[lunar zealot]

You need money for more important things than chips

[unreal topaz]

could find a blue seal in the shop

maybe

[lunar zealot]

like making sure you don't instantly die to the needle or the plant or something

[serene forge]

you just need a little bit of deckfixing and a plan for if you get planted

[sand lily]

I'm so scared to lose this run with a trib

[unreal topaz]

i mean trading card is the deckfixing

[lunar zealot]

You should be scared to lose every run no matter how strong you are

[unreal topaz]

they have that

[lunar zealot]

this is the balatro way

[sand lily]

The Hitler - should I be skipping?

[serene forge]

if you get hanging chad and a glass you are probably safe

[ancient gyro]

better for it to be a trib than a baron

[serene forge]

did not see that

[unreal topaz]

you have cartomancer and $76, you can prob reenhance cards

i wouldnt worry

[serene forge]

no

[lunar zealot]

you are not and cannot be invincible

But with smart play you can get pretty damn close

so play smart!

[sand lily]

I don't want all my kings and queens to be red xd lol

[serene forge]

this is a black deck moment tbf but still

[ancient gyro]

k

[unreal topaz]

unless you have chicot

[ancient gyro]

hold some enhancement consumables

[lunar zealot]

Ur just bad fork idk what to tell you

[unreal topaz]

and an existing build

[lunar zealot]

idk what you were even going to say

Kekw

keck double u

[serene forge]

probably not allowed to write it here

[sand lily]

Ayo?????

[lunar zealot]

Then type it somewhere else

[lunar zealot]

Could be perkeo

that solves your econ and util

[serene forge]

sell fist

[lunar zealot]

And if it's chicot you win outrighr

[serene forge]

you'd better not choke this

[sand lily]

fr

[serene forge]

what other legendaries do you not have a sticker on

[sand lily]

canio & perkeo

[serene forge]

yeah perkeo would be awesome

[unreal topaz]

on ghost deck

even higher upside

[sand lily]

copying cryptid or even just death

[subtle drum]

WHAT DID HE SAY

[unreal topaz]

or immolate, ig trading card does that but still

[sand lily]

so chat I am selling fist?

[unreal topaz]

i say yes

happens after the trib so its not that impactful

[ancient gyro]

i just now realized he had fist baron

[topaz musk]

hello guys can you help me I have a problem

[sand lily]

It's canio gang

gg

[ancient gyro]

call 911 for emergencies

[unreal topaz]

trib seems better anyway

[glad viper]

what does that have to do with anything 😭

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[sand lily]

destroying my jacks

[topaz musk]

lol

[unreal topaz]

with the trading card too

not neccesary but fun

[sand lily]

YO

I am keeping this seed fr

[lunar zealot]

Hey 10 bucks

also you can delete your jacks

you now have a way to deal with plant i'd say

[unreal topaz]

we got plant insurance now

[topaz musk]

my game do not start I just buy it from stream but Ive been playing since a while on ps5 but I just cant open the game

[lunar zealot]

And 10 bucks

[ancient gyro]

geico

[lunar zealot]

that's the important part

[serene forge]

i hate ooze golems

[unreal topaz]

just keep 4 of one non face rank so you can play 4oak with glass

[sand lily]

That's smart

[primal eagle]

chaos the clown

[glad viper]

💔

[unreal topaz]

i used it recently

[lunar zealot]

Unless they've been playing full house like some kind of psycho

[ancient gyro]

some kind of mob

[terse vale]

[lunar zealot]

some kind of 100

[unreal topaz]

who would do that

[terse vale]

aw

[lunar zealot]

I literally just said a psycho

can you read

[unreal topaz]

no

im a shark

[ancient gyro]

she gave up half way

[lunar zealot]

bad girl

[unreal topaz]

sharks cant read

[lunar zealot]

you need to learn MEDIA LITERACY

or just literacy in general humu humu

[serene forge]

plant doesn't counter hrt fr fr

[sand lily]

Bummer could have baron mime'd but gold stickers are more important

and 2 legendaries is nuts

[unreal topaz]

trading card doesnt even have a gold sticker yet???

[lunar zealot]

5 new stickers is better than 4 new stickers

[unreal topaz]

im shocked

[serene forge]

*0

[ancient gyro]

mine took a while

[serene forge]

because you'd lose by using baron

[sand lily]

Negative stone joker...is now the time?

[serene forge]

holy hell

[unreal topaz]

surely you find an eternal trading card somewhere

[serene forge]

i would just take it

it's late

[sand lily]

It will mess up my deck but trading card could fix that...also gold sticker 🙂

[tepid lichen]

Ur kidding me ... idk what I even could've done

[ancient gyro]

idk I've either replaced it or died with an eternal at some point

[unreal topaz]

ante 6 theres prob not that much risk

[river hawk]

Perkeo as obama

Interesting amirite

[unreal topaz]

fair enough

[serene forge]

not take three rentals probably

[unreal topaz]

usually it gets replaced ig

[ancient gyro]

and well black deck shit

[faint linden]

One of the 4 I need along with Glass, Stuntman, and Golden Ticket

[tepid lichen]

I had pretty good money tho and it's triple ancient I think u gotta take that

[ancient gyro]

got to the point where stickering baron and photograph last intentionally wasn't funny anymore

[unreal topaz]

ig spending a discard matters more on black deck

for trading card

[opal canopy]

Idc what people say abandoned deck straight build op

[unreal topaz]

it's great when you get a blue seal

[opal canopy]

What do that do again

[unreal topaz]

planet card when held in hand

at the end of a round

[opal canopy]

And that’s good why?

On a straight

[unreal topaz]

because saturn cards are very powerful

and it gives guaranteed saturn if a straight is your winning hand and you hold the blue seal

[thick narwhal]

This is my best run yet

[opal canopy]

I use space joker and pray

[austere whale]

Tierlist of difficulties of decks

[unreal topaz]

i think you get slightly more points with one copy on photograph

[austere whale]

Discuss

[opal canopy]

Plasma and green

WHAT THE

[unreal topaz]

green deck and nebula should be swapped, nebula is annoying but not on the same level as like black or plasma

[serene forge]

you had 16 dollars

[opal canopy]

elaborate or your getting banished

[thick narwhal]

How? Wouldn't more first card retriggers be better?

[austere whale]

The 1 consumable slot kills me so hard

[tepid lichen]

I thought I would draw a flush in 4 hands tbh

Didn't want to ruin my econ rerolling

[opal canopy]

Man buy a voucher god forbid

[tepid lichen]

I mean clearly I needed to

[unreal topaz]

well you get less triggers but more doublings per trigger

so it depends

but there i think it's best to split blueprint and brainstorm

[austere whale]

This is more based on how hard they were for me to rebeat, I still havent rebeat plasma and black, painted was very difficult and nebula was aswell, meanwhile ghost i have beaten like 7 times

[sand lily]

6 new gold stickers including two legendaries

[austere whale]

U dont get the voucher every time

[thick narwhal]

I thought of that but I was convinced triple Chad was better

[unreal topaz]

you can try it

probably

idk if you still have the run up

[thick narwhal]

That was a past run, I died on that same ante on the ss

[unreal topaz]

fair enough

[serene forge]

plasma gold stake is trash

[unreal topaz]

also you would survive at least one, maybe two more antes if you made glass cards

[serene forge]

green is trash too but less trash

[opal canopy]

I think you should shush

[serene forge]

painted is not that bad though i think

[serene forge]

shut up greenleaf

[thick narwhal]

I had a lot of holographic jacks but I went with red seal lucky card kings

[peak plinth]

Analglyph is goated

[unreal topaz]

it's one of the more difficult ones but yeah not on the black/plasma tier

[opal canopy]

What the heck is a green leaf

[serene forge]

painted is something you think sucks when you're a noob then you start liking it more then you get good and still think it kinda sucks because 4 slots is actually kinda a big downside

[peak plinth]

Very gay lesbian hornet doesnt care about anyone's opinion and cant be swayed

[austere whale]

Painted was really rough on rebeat as eternals kill runs more than normal

[unreal topaz]

real

[opal canopy]

Makes sense

[terse vale]

these decks be deers bro

they be fawn

[peak plinth]

Bars

[thick narwhal]

I still think abandoned deck sucks, I can't see any upsides

[terse vale]

free deckfixing

[austere whale]

Decks rated by enjoyment insted

[peak plinth]

Easy straights

[serene forge]

yeah not being able to take crap eternals or utility jokers easily hurts

[serene forge]

free deckfixing

[unreal topaz]

hardly ever being able to take eternal econ jokers really sucks

[serene forge]

faces aren't good in most scenarios

[opal canopy]

Easiest straights on earth

[thick narwhal]

Mhhh makes sense

[peak plinth]

Photo chad :3

[unreal topaz]

having 12 less cards means any good cards get drawn wayyy more often

[serene forge]

abandoned deck is so fun because you can do so much bullshit with big hands that you would almost never be able to get away with otherwise

[thick narwhal]

Ohjj

You could also do a hack wee joker run easier right?

[opal canopy]

Yeah

[unreal topaz]

yep, among many others

[serene forge]

straight flush/flouse/flive runs on abandoned is chefs kiss

[thick narwhal]

Ohhh

[unreal topaz]

mail in rebate becomes even more insane on abandoned

[thick narwhal]

Righttt

[serene forge]

pairs still are insane because blue seals get a buff on that deck but it's nice to have a change of pace sometimes

[opal canopy]

Any non-face boosting card benefits a lot

[unreal topaz]

purple seals, gold seals, blue seals, gold cards, etc all go crazier

[median gust]

this is why u should always get free shops at the beginning

[sand lily]

HAHA ANTE 9 IS THE PLANT

[thick narwhal]

Like the bus one?

[opal canopy]

Also ride the bus is op on that deck

[serene forge]

what's in the packs

[serene forge]

*all decks

[thick narwhal]

I think I'll try it out then

[unreal topaz]

its good on every deck anyway

[thick narwhal]

I haven't even played abandoned deck

[opal canopy]

More so on that one

[serene forge]

nah

you should never be crashing your bus ever

[median gust]

It’s very mid tbh

I like playing dangerously 😎

[serene forge]

how many queens

[unreal topaz]

^

[serene forge]

shmup the moon could be cool

[median gust]

Los 1

[serene forge]

damn

[median gust]

LMAO 1

[serene forge]

r time

[sand lily]

@unreal topaz @serene forge @lunar zealot ante 9 boss on that overpowered seed is the plant, lolllll

[unreal topaz]

see if you can beat it

bc you prob can

[serene forge]

you had canio tcard so you're fine anyways

[thick narwhal]

Just started an abandoned deck game and got a 4oak first hand

[opal canopy]

What are your thoughts on straight builds

[median gust]

An on erratic deck and tbh it can be ass sometimes

[opal canopy]

Bros already hitting abandoned deck high

[unreal topaz]

you still need tarot cards to draw 4oak reliably, but def much less tarots than usual

extra discard voucher means you see almost the whole deck

[thick narwhal]

Yh

[median gust]

But then other times you get 7 Aces and the walkie talky or whatever jokers give aces extra chips and mult

[unreal topaz]

actually on white stake you see like almost the whole deck

[serene forge]

good

[unreal topaz]

extra discard gets perfect draws

i think

[median gust]

on white stake it’s super easy bc of that

that’s what I loved about it

[unreal topaz]

yeah

[opal canopy]

Me when I get ride the bus ante 1 abandoned deck

[unreal topaz]

me when i get ride the bus ante 1, full stop

[median gust]

Wow

Literally amazing

[unreal topaz]

canio?

with vagabond?

[opal canopy]

LETS GO GAMBLING

[unreal topaz]

imagine

[median gust]

PERKEO

[sand lily]

nope got about halfway to scoring. Mr bones was in the shop, I'm an idiot who didn't check the boss blinds

[unreal topaz]

now for a hunt for temperance

probably

[median gust]

I haven’t got naneinf

[sand lily]

could have sold cartomancer/bought mr bones and continued

[median gust]

Do u think I could try it this run

[unreal topaz]

ohhh niiice

[median gust]

🤔

[unreal topaz]

yeah, how many sixes in the deck?

[opal canopy]

Get a planet card then your set

[sand lily]

I'll make a thread in #1156061354076155944 after I try this a second time

[unreal topaz]

no, you need to copy cryptid for naneinf on non plasma

[median gust]

what’s the easiest naneinf? I thought it was with perkeo, btw 3 sixes

[unreal topaz]

observatory is too slow

[unreal topaz]

yeah

[opal canopy]

Perkeo and plasma

[unreal topaz]

well perkeo+ghost is a bit easier

[median gust]

Hopefully I can use this to get a new high score bc my highest is e11

[unreal topaz]

oh fs, you can get plenty of money and idol online easily with perkeo

wait

also

you could do ankh+ecto

bc it's after black stake

not that you should

its harder than just using cryptid for obvious reasons

[opal canopy]

But you could

[tepid lichen]

Unseeded?

Try this guide

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=drSH2ofiRcc

[unreal topaz]

i mean if you happen to get perkeo then perkeo is easier

but yeah that's a good guide in general

[median gust]

Yeah unseeded

[tepid lichen]

Yeah but it's more time consuming to reroll for it so it's not like a real strategy to only try and do

[median gust]

I’m trying to do it unseeded

I feel like seeded is just following a guide like what’s the point

[tepid lichen]

So in that case don't worry about perkeo

Like only if u get it

Try and do naninf that way

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[median gust]

Gotcha

[opal canopy]

Why tho

[serene forge]

its bad

[unreal topaz]

also smth interesting with perkeo+vagabond is you can copy temperance and only use it when you get to the shop

so you get to do vagabond without being poor

[unreal topaz]

for this specific scenario

[peak plinth]

Scaling chips or holographic rare

Hmmm what will I choose

[thick narwhal]

I got four fingers and the order in abandoned deck

[peak plinth]

Goated

[median gust]

Wow insane to get this

I’m just trying not to mess it up at this point

[thick narwhal]

Right?? Greedy holographic joker

[median gust]

Hahah what

[fathom pagoda]

The question is, how confident are you that you can build towards straights? The holo rare is eternal, and won't have much long-term value if you can't.

[median gust]

I got blueprint !!!

And perkeo

[pale wolf]

balatro

i havent had a decent game in a few days

[median gust]

real Balatro

ok play one rn I’ll pray for u to get a legendary

🙏🏼

[safe stream]

Anyone know if or when cross save is coming?

[opal canopy]

Holo rare

[median gust]

I wish it was easy to do that on Apple. I’ve tried to sync my iPad and phone saves and it never happens

[unreal topaz]

eternal chad is dubious

maybe its fine but dubious

[median gust]

i like it bc with the blueprint, it also prints. Money

4 chances to hit $20

[unreal topaz]

yeah, you just need more cryptids now long term for the naneinf

bc -1 scoring joker

[tepid lichen]

Naneinf is really unlikely on erratic deck with eternal chad tbh

[wanton breach]

straight is a great hand

[tepid lichen]

I think you have better odds of hitting a great high score building towards idol

[opal canopy]

Abandoned deck my beloved

[median gust]

im looking for the 6 = spectral

[tepid lichen]

Yeah that's good

[wanton breach]

i love abandoned deck bc its small deck

[tepid lichen]

Seance also works if u have good deckfixing

[wanton breach]

very easy to fix

[strange delta]

Does any one have tips for Black deck?

[median gust]

Not the best fixing, I haven’t been able to copy deaths

[strange delta]

I'm at orange stake.

[wanton breach]

be conservative in your decision making

[leaden coral]

what a pack

[unreal topaz]

good thing perkeo is the fastest deckfixing in the west

[wanton breach]

like, you should really think what card you should discard or what hand type to play during the early game

[strange delta]

Does spamming pairs work?

[wanton breach]

if you found pair joker early, yes

[strange delta]

I tend to play flushes.

[wanton breach]

if not, no

[strange delta]

Understandable.

[wanton breach]

flushes sometimes good. i always play full houses

[unreal topaz]

with scaling +mult yeah

[strange delta]

I keep losing at like ante 7

[wanton breach]

same

[strange delta]

I can never find a times mult joker.

[unreal topaz]

you're probably not generating enough money then

[wanton breach]

black deck high stake difficulty is just pure rng and money management

[wanton breach]

yes

[strange delta]

I burn my money quick which isnt good.

[tepid lichen]

I disagree with the pure rng sentiment but it's a lot easier if you get lucky

[wanton breach]

i just have skill issue then

[strange delta]

I hate how the only times mult joker I find is noodels

noodles*

[tepid lichen]

Ramen is really good

Almost a free x2

[thin cedar]

Hi guys is there a way to play on desktop if I bought the game in iOS?

[strange delta]

I tend to discard since I play flushes.

[unborn cliff]

what yall know about peanut butter ramen

[tepid lichen]

It's part of the reason to go for pairs

[tepid lichen]

Yeah that's a problem

[strange delta]

but on black deck im not allowed to play hands as discards.

Thanks for the advice.

[tepid lichen]

You shouldn't care too much about what hand type you play if you have chips, plus mult, xmult

[strange delta]

I'm probably still going to lose, my goal is to get better.

[wanton breach]

i tend to rely on mercury

[tepid lichen]

That's fine but still not as good as scaling chip joker like square

[primal eagle]

rely on discarding royal flushes

[tepid lichen]

Cuz it's susceptible to some boss blinds

[tepid lichen]

If you want to get better I would also recommend watching balatro university

He's doing a balatro 101 playlist I think

And has a bunch of gold stake videos

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 5, I thought ||the hand jokers were all the same price||

[strange delta]

I watch him to fall asleep.

[tepid lichen]

Lol

[acoustic hamlet]

my face when 1.7k for a single three of a kind

[tepid lichen]

Just got it in 4! So many similar ones

[serene forge]

2/8/26 balatrodle in 3

[unborn cliff]

we had like the same thoughts

lol

[wanton breach]

no symmetry 😡

[unborn cliff]

sowwy

[wanton breach]

owkay

[plain briar]

at what lvl should I stop using planet cards

[unborn cliff]

depends on the hand

[plain briar]

high card

[safe flower]

Hmmm

[unborn cliff]

depends on the build

[safe flower]

Tempting...

[manic talon]

Yea you can stop

[plain briar]

high card is lvl 20

[manic talon]

High card levels are negligable past the 20 mark, what you need is a mime

[plain briar]

yea ive been rolling for mime

or 6th sense

[upper spade]

That's just pure luck.

[plain briar]

is it fine if the invsi creates a baron?

[ancient gyro]

preferably not

[cosmic escarp]

As a beginner in balatro, these photos terrify me.

[plain briar]

coz i did the slow mo

and it did

so

do i just let it

for now?

[exotic pike]

which one do i blueprint

[upper spade]

Hanging Chad probably.

[exotic pike]

oke

[ancient gyro]

photo

[plain briar]

hang has more retriggers

compared to photo

[exotic pike]

OH MY GOOOOD

MY FIRST EVER GOLD STAKE RUN

OH MY GODDDDD

[ancient gyro]

2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 < 4 x 4 x 4

[exotic pike]

I DID IT I BEAT MY FIRST EVER GOLD STAKE

[upper spade]

Nice.
Are you doing them all in order?

[exotic pike]

IVE COME SO FARRRRR

[plain briar]

chad is 2 retriggers

[exotic pike]

sort of, im on orange stake for checketed

[ancient gyro]

please read the expression

[upper spade]

Checkered is kinda 50/50 when in a run

[manic zealot]

I love money

and burnt joker

and observatory

[upper spade]

I'm suffering on Nebula deck.

Gold stake on Nebula is hard.

[ancient gyro]

and what drove you into building another krusty krab next to your old one

[manic zealot]

money!

[minor portal]

rtb and midas mask is a dubious duo

[safe flower]

I guess it was the right call?

[manic zealot]

I finished using midas long before picking up the rtb so it wound up working out perfect

[exotic pike]

died immediately after but heres my seed!

[unborn cliff]

balatro literacy rates skyrocket

[median gust]

Congrats !!

[iron junco]

Should I sell polychrome mystic summit for driver's licence?

[median gust]

Do u have 16 already

[iron junco]

Yeah

[median gust]

Then yeah

[iron junco]

alr thanks

[opal canopy]

Straight vs flush opinion

[vocal rose]

straight

[iron junco]

Thank you, death

I died at ante 11, but idc

yippie first ghost deck win

[crude apex]

Clubbed to death, like a seal. Seeing Double is still my GOAT though

[lunar zealot]

I mean you won the run

[lucid glacier]

i want to beat orange stake with checkered deck and i want to know of any startegies i could use

ok thanks

[lunar zealot]

Flush is strong early

it's essentially the same as ghost deck's early polychrome

you can continue to play flushes but you can very reasonably pivot to pairs and play like a standard deck

[lucid glacier]

ok

ok

i just got photochad lol

[median gust]

Hi

[lucid glacier]

hi

[median gust]

ive almost finished deck building trying to get naneinf

[lucid glacier]

nice

[median gust]

this is what I’m trying to do, do u think it will be enough

I have to keep trying to use 6’s until I get a better spectral right??

[lucid glacier]

no crptid is the spectral you want

[median gust]

Ok so now I’ll keep trying to get 1.5x on the K red seal?

And then copy those and get rid of the rest

[lucid glacier]

yes but you want the king to be a steel card with red seal

[median gust]

Steel card!! Ok thanks 🙏🏼

all of em basically?

[lucid glacier]

yep, no problem

[shell rock]

hanging graph

[lucid glacier]

nice im on ante 4 with that combo

[shell rock]

round 1 too

[eager summit]

this middle dude keeps stalking me

third run in a row i see him in the first shop, always eternal

[lucid glacier]

it can be good eternal if you commit to it

[eager summit]

ik it can

[pearl marsh]

anyone else had any pc slowing down issue with balatro recently?

[lucid glacier]

no

are you using mods?

[pearl marsh]

hmmm might be on my end

yeah

but its pretty tame

[lucid glacier]

the mods could be messing with it

[acoustic hamlet]

is the blue guy good

[pearl marsh]

this my current set up

[lunar zealot]

Which one

[pearl marsh]

one of the best in the game

[lucid glacier]

Yes its oone of the best jokers in ther game

[pearl marsh]

can get you to ante 8 pretty easily most of the time

all it needs is one solid joker to copy

[lunar zealot]

Great in theory

[shell rock]

yuri

[median gust]

Hi I made like 3 red seal steel cards but how many cryptids do I need to get naneinfs?

How many more antes do I need to survive lol

Would the retrigger cards in hand joker help me get naneinf ??

50 or 100 or more cryptids

?

[shell rock]

i don’t know how far you’ll get with photochad

you typically need mime and baron

[median gust]

ok no problem

[acoustic hamlet]

what the fuck is the one on the right and is it any good

[shell rock]

its ok, it gives you random +mult between 0 and 24

[median gust]

erase photograph for mime or baron then?

[shell rock]

it will usually let you down though, take green jonkler

[median gust]

Is it un salvageable lol

Do I get rid of photograph and 6th sense if I find baron and Mime?

[late moss]

is it possible to player 3 player multiplayer ?

[unreal topaz]

depends on your jokers, you need baron+mime before making that call

if you wanna do the math yourself you need 1750 x1.5s for naneinf

[median gust]

So like

Damn

[unreal topaz]

so you can figure out how many x1.5s each king in hand is

[median gust]

That’s too many and I got lucky with a glass

Seems like I just won’t be able to get it lol

I’ve been getting 3x cryptids every blind now

But even then, to get 1750 is impossibly far away and I won’t survive until ante 30 unless I get baron mime right?

Or I need more hand size

[unreal topaz]

if you get baron and mime each king in hand is 12 x1.5s

so that means you need about 146 in hand for naneinf

[median gust]

48 cryptids

That’s doable

[unreal topaz]

so like 70 cryptids or so

not 48

[median gust]

Oh that’s right bc it makes 2

Not 3

[tepid lichen]

wait 70 cryptids seems like too little for this setup

its not even on plasma

idk ill see the math

[unreal topaz]

i said if they find both baron and mime

which is uh

[tepid lichen]

yea right even with that

[unreal topaz]

not the most likely

[unreal topaz]

yeah idk i think you got the cryptid and blueprints too late

unless you get brainstorm

and baron+mime soon

[tepid lichen]

imo if u want a high score

unless u see a baron
