[lyric wave]

yeah roll

[ebon condor]

i mean its worth considering

[lapis lion]

also black hole

[lyric shore]

bro what

[ebon condor]

is your scoring struggling to the point that burglar will serve you better?

[earnest goblet]

oh my god its beautiful

[lyric shore]

rebate is not better than 10 hands with nova

[vagrant wagon]

Skip?

[ebon condor]

but on flushes its not great

[lyric shore]

we have 9 hand size on checkered

[ebon condor]

unless u have 9 handsize

[lyric wave]

well don't skip cause you can still sell

[ebon condor]

oh

[lyric shore]

and even so its 10 hands

like

[ebon condor]

yeah burglar may have been correct

[nova junco]

I mean you can't use rebate AND burglar and the rebate is being very helpful rn

[raven fjord]

this is beautiful, i can see how people get addicted trying to get that dopamine hit :k

[wanton breach]

take that two pair chip joker and hex it, then buy spare trouser

[lyric wave]

oh crap that's right you can copy burglar with brainstorm

[narrow scroll]

i'm just now realizing i didn't even need to do that
i'm scoring like 200k per hand

[vagrant wagon]

Oh forget that every time 🙃

[lyric shore]

im the only one thinkin

[narrow scroll]

how is campfire this good

[earnest goblet]

guys do i take both

[ebon condor]

its so strong

[wraith iris]

idk why i was worried about that run,

[ebon condor]

it used to be +.5x

[lyric wave]

idt you have room for lusty

[ebon condor]

and i thought it was BAD back then i was so foolish

[wraith iris]

8.5x madness and 86x flash card made it easy

[lyric shore]

and why do you want lusty lol

[earnest goblet]

i might swap it for abstract because of the red thing and chad

(i forgot the name lol)

[lyric wave]

red seal?

[earnest goblet]

yeah that

[lyric wave]

also no it's eternal, permanent -1 joker slot

[raven fjord]

I didn't know they nerfed it , i was wondering why it wasn't getting big after feeding it so much

[earnest goblet]

ill leave it

[nova junco]

Eternals there's no way I'm taking it

[earnest goblet]

swash over abstract?

[nova junco]

That slot is for our square boy

[lyric wave]

how much is swash giving you

[narrow scroll]

two pair run!!!

[earnest goblet]

swash gives my 19 abstract 18

[raven fjord]

devil arcana ❤️

[lyric wave]

minus two cause you'd be selling abstract

less mult than abstract

[earnest goblet]

yeah ok

ill leave it

[vagrant wagon]

The arcana what do I Take

[nova junco]

Maybe tower? Idk that's not a very helpful pack lol

[raven fjord]

strength 9s to 10s for more density of 10s, that's what id do

[ebon condor]

could also strength for better 2ps yeah

[wanton breach]

strength queen and jack? help you a bit to get two pair

[raven fjord]

yeah prolly better

oh what would yall make gold

i usually gold like 10s cause of the plant fear

[wanton breach]

9

[lyric wave]

I would make whatever you're not using in your final hand gold

[raven fjord]

or 9s

[lyric wave]

but yeah I like the gold queens, gold slay the princess looks nice

[earnest goblet]

do i sell rebate and take over the moon?

[vagrant wagon]

Death?

[lyric wave]

how many queens do you have

[earnest goblet]

sry i meant to the moon

[wanton breach]

gold the jack then death

[earnest goblet]

mbmb

[raven fjord]

make something gold and death

[vestal copper]

rebaterot must consume

[nova junco]

I think it's the other moon?

[lyric wave]

oh to the moon

[nova junco]

But it's not gonna give you much anyways

[lyric shore]

why would you do that

[vestal copper]

ttm is still prob not worth it

[nova junco]

Rebate is giving A LOT

[lyric wave]

yeah not worth

rebate is huge

[lyric shore]

thats not even close to as good

[nova junco]

Just 2 cards you're getting $20

[raven fjord]

rebate money = more points from bull :k

[vagrant wagon]

Should i take something else here

[nova junco]

And also more photograph

[raven fjord]

nah, early on uranus doesn't help cause u can grow the pants

[nova junco]

If it was me I might just take wraith and temperance and spend down, can't recommend it tho

[narrow scroll]

this is a take right?

[lyric wave]

yea

[raven fjord]

yep can't recommend it either

[raven fjord]

go next:)

[nova junco]

I mean at least temperance

[raven fjord]

oh thats a take mb

[earnest goblet]

do i sell anything and take space?

[raven fjord]

i think that was kinda obvious take 🥲

and hold

[nova junco]

I think the next joker you take is just photo

[vagrant wagon]

Overstock?

[vestal copper]

hold R for a fun effect!

[lyric wave]

uh

don't

that's reset

[raven fjord]

what happens

oh

[vestal copper]

yeh

[raven fjord]

overstock and arcana

[vestal copper]

overstock peaks

[raven fjord]

I'd take overstock even if i was in debt

[vestal copper]

foolish but yeah

[raven fjord]

fair

[raven fjord]

hang em

[nova junco]

H a n g

[raven fjord]

5,6 id do

actually 5,7

[vestal copper]

murder all of these people

[raven fjord]

6s for sixth sense maybe

keep ur options open they say

[nova junco]

Yeah you still have 3 open slots so it makes sense

[vestal copper]

a good avoidance of 67 there gg

[raven fjord]

true true

[raven fjord]

lmao

[vagrant wagon]

Should i also take the celestial

[raven fjord]

yeah ante 3

[vestal copper]

take everything that helps as long as you are above 25

[marsh swan]

Wow. Just wow.

[raven fjord]

wait

[nova junco]

DAMN

[raven fjord]

nvm

[vestal copper]

unluckily late

[lyric wave]

massive

oh ante 7...

[raven fjord]

u got money so worth it definitely

[lyric shore]

you already won it dont matter

[marsh swan]

Yeah it's tiny bit late

And i skipped the planet voucher

[nova junco]

I mean take it anyways

[raven fjord]

always the correct choice even in this case

[nova junco]

But yeah it won't do much

[marsh swan]

I mean if it helps it helps

So Y not

[raven fjord]

negative bean 🥲

[lyric wave]

bean glitch??

[raven fjord]

trying for my second naninf

[lyric wave]

oh yeah bean glitch

huge

[raven fjord]

maybe if it was on ante 8

[lyric wave]

still +4 hand size

if you double skip

[raven fjord]

ahh risky

im doing high card

[lyric wave]

verrrry risky, that's how I like it lol

[raven fjord]

no scoring jjokers btw

[lyric wave]

may I remind you: you have a fucking shitload of hands lol

[vagrant wagon]

Arcana?

[raven fjord]

oh yeah

fk

[nova junco]

I think that's both chaos and uranus

Arcana too if you want

[raven fjord]

@nova junco i actually thought u had C++ ..

[nova junco]

Working on it lol

[lyric shore]

dont uranus too much

[nova junco]

Soon

[raven fjord]

yeah it'll get wet

nvm

[nova junco]

To be fair ideally you don't keep playing two pair for the whole run

[nova junco]

What

[raven fjord]

uranus then temperance

id do

idk

really bad choices there

wait strength maybe..

[nova junco]

Strength no

I think emperor tbh

[raven fjord]

idk how thier deck looks like so

[nova junco]

Temperance is useful but only 3 jokers

[raven fjord]

but the interest

[nova junco]

Yeah fair

[vagrant wagon]

I took the temperance

[raven fjord]

id strength queen and 7

but yeah

safe temperance prolly good

[marsh swan]

Orange stake tim- what the hell is this.

[lyric wave]

lmfao

[raven fjord]

first time seeing that

[marsh swan]

Why does the game keep teasing me with these negatives

[green apex]

same

[nova junco]

Say it with me kids

[green apex]

round 1 shop 😭

[raven fjord]

happens to the best of us

[lyric wave]

I'm so glad I've never seen nat negative rough gem on checkered

[earnest goblet]

i should have gotten rid of rebate and got more scoring 😔

[lyric wave]

rip

[vagrant wagon]

I took the free reroll there

[lyric wave]

our collective greed was too much

[green apex]

greed gets the better of us

[green apex]

what a shop

[vagrant wagon]

Yeah

[earnest goblet]

ive been trying so long to beat checkered on purple stake

i just cant do it

😔

[green apex]

purple stake is where it starts getting stupid

or is it blue

its like equal

[raven fjord]

@lyric wave the negative bean run died to vv.

[lyric wave]

blue stake is -1 discard

[lyric wave]

ripppp

[raven fjord]

im sad

[lyric wave]

hi sad

I'm sheep liver

[raven fjord]

🥲

[green apex]

hi sheep liver

im sly

[lyric wave]

purple stake is the increase blind size directly after blue stake

[raven fjord]

i gotta recover from that depressing fate

[green apex]

yeah

[lyric wave]

it's a fucking lot straight after blue stake

[green apex]

i cant tell when it really starts getting difficult

probably blue

[raven fjord]

i think blue stake

[lyric wave]

blue stake is the biggest spike

[raven fjord]

blue, and then purple. orange is fine mostly

[green apex]

perishables can get in the way..

[vagrant wagon]

I‘m thinking about what I take but if someone could also say something would be nice

[lyric wave]

orange is really not that bad, I first tried it every single time I got up there, and then gold stake is the real finale

[raven fjord]

yeah seen a couple blueprints ..

[lyric shore]

hermit and roll bruh

[green apex]

ok THATS unfortunate 😭

[raven fjord]

orange is mildly annoying

[lyric wave]

keep trying that technique with doing ante 1 jokerless btw, eventually that econ pump will bullshit your way into a good ass setup

[green apex]

idk i would hermit, photo roll once then next ante.

is it the play idk. (i suck at balatro)

[lyric shore]

ok you really shouldnt ever skip the first pack

[raven fjord]

yeah and keep track of ur money and score.

[calm furnace]

waiter waiter more rentals please

[vagrant wagon]

Again new shop

[lyric shore]

photo is reallly bad here

[lyric wave]

depends on the deck

[tranquil cedar]

“Cmon, baby... Sell your mult... You only need me...”
–baron

[tidal pawn]

Riffraff made me do it

[calm furnace]

double rental pants since ante 2

god rentals are so good

[tranquil cedar]

pants my beloved

[green apex]

this setup is kind of cool

pants are nice

[lyric shore]

it should only be a consideration on plasma and even then pack is better mostly

[green apex]

shirt joker when

[tranquil cedar]

genuine my fav joker

[lyric wave]

it should be a consideration on checkered too

[earnest goblet]

do i take negative gift card?

[green apex]

interest questionmark

[lyric wave]

not taking the negative is pain but you can't

[calm furnace]

i got lucky with draws i kept getting 2 pair despite handsize

[green apex]

SHOOTING MOONS!!!

[lyric wave]

you should take shoot the moon though

[tranquil cedar]

buy blank and both packs and skip them

[lyric wave]

shoot the moon is pretty sweet this early

[green apex]

free mult

[royal bobcat]

its pretty

[lyric shore]

opening buffoon pack is better econ usually

[earnest goblet]

you know what ima risk it and take both

[vagrant wagon]

Do i Take the blue joker?

[fringe nebula]

you're damaging your early econ but maybe if you can get it back running

[calm furnace]

checkered deck guarantees winning ante 2 small blind

i would take the gift vard

[green apex]

i would skip 😭

[tranquil cedar]

press r for a while to unlock a special cutscene

[lyric shore]

that gift card costs so much...

[green apex]

oh yeah

especially when you are deep into a run

[earnest goblet]

i got chad

LETS GO

[lyric wave]

oh to be clear I'm talking about gold stake, your instant buffoon pack is unlikely to give more cash and even less likely to give an unstickered scoring joker

[lyric wave]

big

[royal bobcat]

temperance for fri

[lyric wave]

SURELY this time you get the fuckin photo lol

[tranquil cedar]

if you press ctrl+alt+supr you instantly get 1000 blueprints trust me bro

[lyric shore]

i know, you still should not ever skip the pack unless the shop is better

[fringe nebula]

sigh

[calm furnace]

the whole point of checkered is the safety to take bigger risks early on

because checkered clears early antes faster

[tranquil cedar]

brainstorm to copy the fool

🧠

[calm furnace]

gift card has insane potential value there especially negative

[lyric shore]

skipping the pack isnt a risk its just worse

[earnest goblet]

scoring 💔 🥀

[lyric wave]

discard for queens

[calm furnace]

negative gift card can make swash not shit even

[tranquil cedar]

who needs scoring when you can just

[lyric wave]

if the pack isn't likely to give you much, saving your money will always give value

and the pack isn't likely to give you an econ joker, which is the only thing you need ante 1 checkered

[earnest goblet]

i survived somehow

[lyric shore]

if it gives you scoring that is econ

[tranquil cedar]

proceeds to open it and find a polychrome mir 🙌

[lyric wave]

it saves 2 bucks maximum which is erased because you're losing interest because of it

[cloud sinew]

That isnt true

[lyric shore]

...and then you have to buy less scoring later and wont have to roll for a joker

[cloud sinew]

"2 bucks maximum" no.
scoring is potentially +$3 every round

[lyric wave]

this is on checkered deck

[marsh swan]

What are these joker options

[fringe nebula]

take banana

[lyric wave]

you can pretty much guarantee winning everything ante 1 in two hands on checkered

[lyric shore]

boss in 2 is lucky

[earnest goblet]

yeah i lost btw

[lyric wave]

damn

[cloud sinew]

Most flushes dont score 300+

[earnest goblet]

was like 70 score short

[lyric wave]

your flush needs an average of 7 or higher, not that hard to do

I beat boss in 2 nearly every single run

[lyric shore]

with 2 discards its not "pretty much guaranteed"

[cloud sinew]

8*, 7 is for full houses

[lyric wave]

ah right average of 8

[earnest goblet]

you can also win the 1000 point blind as well

[royal bobcat]

carp sharp shop 1 gg

[lyric wave]

that one is far more risky, you either lose loads of money from hands or you risk having to get a straight flush

a straight flush isn't impossible on checkered but it's not the easiest thing either

[marsh swan]

Why is there so many negatives and why are they all bad

I mean it's still decent

For the swash

But $7 is pricey

[royal bobcat]

yo its jimbo

[marsh swan]

It's EVIL Jimbo

[royal bobcat]

sexy jimbo

hmu

bad boys slidin in my dms

[earnest goblet]

how am i even here atp

[royal bobcat]

have you hit the moon yet

[earnest goblet]

i only just bought

[royal bobcat]

im asking cuz youve been shooting it for a while

[earnest goblet]

before this blind

[marsh swan]

How did you survive with only mime

[royal bobcat]

empress

prolly

[marsh swan]

And jupiter levels

[earnest goblet]

i had a emperor and got some card things

[earnest goblet]

level 1 💔

holy

[lyric wave]

rare instance of skip being worth??

[earnest goblet]

yep

[royal bobcat]

well you don't know that before skipping

thats why its bad

[earnest goblet]

im taking paintbrush

[lyric wave]

well yea if it guaranteed crazy value every time you skipped it wouldn't be bad

[earnest goblet]

anything to take?

[lyric wave]

I have a decision to make...

[lyric wave]

jj is a consideration, scaling mult is obv very nice

[fringe nebula]

i just got 2 back to back natural negative lmao after a reroll

[lyric shore]

do not take jj you already have nova

[lyric wave]

that's insane

how much is nova at

[earnest goblet]

3 lol

[royal bobcat]

not flash card

flash card is

poo poo

i will take a firm stance on it

[earnest goblet]

wrathful maybe?

[royal bobcat]

flash card is my OPP

[lyric shore]

why wrathful? you have soo much mult

[earnest goblet]

okok

myabe celestials?

[royal bobcat]

wrathful maybe but like you kinda wanna keep playing flushes for nova

how long can u survive without additional jokers

[earnest goblet]

not sure

[lyric wave]

if you don't take jj for later on in the run, you have more than enough mult for like the end of ante 3

you can go far with just nova and holo misprint

[earnest goblet]

ill leave everything

[lyric wave]

I might be fucked

[lyric shore]

lmao why did you take that

[lyric wave]

I was not paying attention to the game lmfao

[earnest goblet]

good jokers?

[lyric wave]

hanged man is the only take there

also oo castle is big

[royal bobcat]

bloodstone </3

[lyric wave]

bloodstone <3

[earnest goblet]

rerolled

[lyric shore]

hey you won

[royal bobcat]

baseball

base my ball

[earnest goblet]

i have enough xmult i think

[earnest goblet]

...

[royal bobcat]

u never have enough xmult

[lyric shore]

card sharp dies to stuff take baseball

[lyric wave]

baseball card would go nuts in place of either nova or misprint

[royal bobcat]

get rid of nova lowkey

[eager bluff]

Should i take anything here?

[primal eagle]

you wanna get out of misprint anyway

[lyric shore]

do not get rid of nova omg

[earnest goblet]

about that....i kinda left it

[primal eagle]

no

[lyric wave]

how high is base mult

[lyric wave]

kek

[royal bobcat]

nova is at 4

[primal eagle]

they both eternal

[royal bobcat]

may i add

[primal eagle]

cant sell

[lyric shore]

this the easiest win ever just scale them both

[royal bobcat]

with that kinda build nova is gonna be at 17 by ante 8

u aint gonna need nova

[eager bluff]

How you guys deal with rental jokes early?

[royal bobcat]

u dont

unless you'd die without

[primal eagle]

wait u were seriously asking

[lyric wave]

I don't deal with rental jokers early cause I do ante 1 jokerless on checkered

[primal eagle]

wtf

[lyric wave]

also the better option here was bus

[royal bobcat]

wtf do u mean no

[earnest goblet]

also does anyonre watch stuff while u play balatro amd if yes what

[primal eagle]

no

bus os rental

[royal bobcat]

i dont

[lyric shore]

shop 1 eternal rental is crazy

[primal eagle]

id take 4fungerz

[lyric wave]

I listen to music but aside from that not really a whole lot

[earnest goblet]

FUCK YES IM COOKING IVE WON

[lyric wave]

oh my god yesssssssssss

[eager bluff]

Jokerless ante 1 is doable but if going into ante 2 still rental then i still skip?

[lyric wave]

standard pack goes hard

[earnest goblet]

XD

[primal eagle]

dont take long term ones unless you are at the edge of death

[eager bluff]

Not rare during my run

[royal bobcat]

the only shop 1 (or early) rentals i would take are: rebate, golden joker, cloud nine, any joker i'd sell before the end of the round like cartomancer, sixth sense, burnt joker or space joker

[lyric wave]

going for a rental to survive ante 2 small blind is worth as long as it's not eternal rental

[earnest goblet]

ykw im opening the standard cause why the fuck not

[lyric wave]

lul

inb4 red seal polychrome queen of hearts

[royal bobcat]

its glass and it breaks

[earnest goblet]

to no suprise it sucked

[lyric wave]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lyric shore]

i mean its insane to take those unless its rebate

[royal bobcat]

hey thats a gold card

[lyric shore]

wym it sucked 😭

[eager bluff]

Yeah true

[royal bobcat]

no i take early rentals a lot

i just don't keep them

you would be stupid not to take a rental spaceman or burnt

sell them before the end of the round

[lyric wave]

you probably shouldn't take rental gold joker, it's only +1 dollar per round and it very much can just be a net neutral cause it puts you below interest

[primal eagle]

pretty much that, ill add faceless & midasmask

[eager bluff]

This

[lyric wave]

midas is 99% of the time a take for me unless eternal rental

[primal eagle]

rental riffraff is goated

[livid temple]

the one time i get oops with bloodstone

[eager bluff]

Trueee

[lyric wave]

this is so sad you even have the deja vu

[royal bobcat]

rental econ is fine because it almost always gives more than 3 dollars

[lyric shore]

we talkin about eternal rentals

[primal eagle]

ante 1 eternal rental is a no for me whatsoever

[livid temple]

CHAAT I MADE IT

[primal eagle]

not even bp/bs/rebate

[livid temple]

THANK YOU 11x LUCKY CAT

[lyric shore]

not even rebate hmm

[lyric wave]

holllly how

[primal eagle]

unless it's bp/bs when I have a normal rebate

[royal bobcat]

not even rebate is crazy

[primal eagle]

then thats a yes

[royal bobcat]

rebate is like the best joker in the game im sobbing

[lyric wave]

would you take an eternal rental nat negative perkeo ante 1

[primal eagle]

rental perkeo is funny

i think i wont

[royal bobcat]

well perkeo cant be debuffed

so

[lyric wave]

perkeo can be debuffed, but it can't have a sticker

[royal bobcat]

u know what i mean

[primal eagle]

on ghost/magic its a yes

the sell price for a negative consumable exceeds $3

so

on other decks ill probably die before it starts to work

[wintry valley]

best duo ever

[lyric wave]

photochad yaoi

[wintry valley]

yes

[earnest goblet]

flush 5 or just flush

[lyric wave]

does a flush win

[earnest goblet]

idk

[lyric wave]

wait you have card sharp

go for flush

[primal eagle]

flush

[earnest goblet]

ohh ok yeah

[lyric wave]

even if you didn't have card sharp, you don't really want to unlock eris

unless you do

[primal eagle]

cark shard + u kinda dont want eris in your celestial packs

[lyric wave]

in which case go flush five

[teal thunder]

idk how i got this far with this build in the first place but now that i know im dead its like a sigh of relief

[eager bluff]

F you

[primal eagle]

• 1 more supeenova ig

[earnest goblet]

sigh, of course i fumbled this amazing seed

[teal thunder]

nvm that hurt i was so close 😭

[lyric wave]

rip

[wintry valley]

damn 2 losses

[teal thunder]

real

[earnest goblet]

only i could do smth like that

[teal thunder]

L's dropping Left and rightL

[lyric wave]

did you not get a bloodstonable flush?

[earnest goblet]

i did...

[lyric wave]

just didn't score enough?

[wintry valley]

woahh

[earnest goblet]

yeah

[lyric wave]

unfort

gasp

[lyric shore]

how come you are skipping so much

[primal eagle]

eternal rental flash card as 1st joker is funny

[wintry valley]

what are the chances

[lyric wave]

it made sense when I got it (I had level 3 jupiter and was pretty high above the interest cap at the ante 2 big blind shop, and thought fuck it lets do some bullshit)

[teal thunder]

i am being rewarded i guess

[lyric wave]

you can't afford tribe and brainstorm rip

[primal eagle]

always do the funny

[lyric wave]

"but it would be funny" is an unfathomably good argument to me

[primal eagle]

a win is so easily obtainable

[lyric wave]

oop I

[primal eagle]

funny isn't

[lyric wave]

just accidentally hit go next

instead of roll

;-;

[earnest goblet]

sigh

[peak plinth]

5 jokers left for completionist ++!! This is so exciting

[lyric wave]

hell yeah!!

which ones?

[earnest goblet]

i give up in balatro....for tonight

[cloud sinew]

~1 in 20,000

[peak plinth]

Steel, stone and glass joker
Onyx agate
And to the moon I think its called

[earnest goblet]

i could never quit this game

[lyric wave]

to the moon is the interest one

[primal eagle]

what does joker role mean again

[cloud sinew]

Blue

[peak plinth]

Yerrr, that one

[earnest goblet]

time to watch others play balatro

[lyric wave]

if I may give a suggestion: dr spectred

[wintry valley]

woah

[lyric wave]

also known as balatro university

[wintry valley]

damn

[earnest goblet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jus4RWgzc6s

watching this rn

[wintry valley]

HELL YEAH

[earnest goblet]

ill have a look after

[lyric wave]

the rare skip into dna is so unfortunate

[cloud sinew]

Good god

why are you taking joker skip tags

[earnest goblet]

also, do you all play with the game sped up

[lyric wave]

4x speed

[earnest goblet]

same

[fringe nebula]

x16 speed

[wintry valley]

erm

[earnest goblet]

cant play without it

[lyric wave]

I would argue 4x speed should be base lul

[earnest goblet]

how, just how

[wintry valley]

i love that one joker that give 0.25x per skip

[lyric wave]

mods

[cloud sinew]

Throwback is very bad

[lyric wave]

oh we got a throwback fan

[earnest goblet]

lucky...

anyway thanks for all the help and gn all!!

[wintry valley]

i love it cmon

i'm a newbie

[lyric wave]

gn

[cloud sinew]

Throwback is 1/2 madness scaling for an even worse downside

[lyric wave]

I hope throwback gets an insane buff in 1.1, like making it go from .25x to .75x

it's just never a take atm

[fringe nebula]

newbies have different way of seeing things
let them stay as flushmaxxer for awhile

[wintry valley]

[lyric wave]

so you're telling me that madness is the best joker in the game!???!?!??!!?

[marsh swan]

So should it be buffed to 0.5x per skip? Or at least 0.4x

[cloud sinew]

No

[marsh swan]

Bull

[cloud sinew]

I would rather skips get buffed so it starts out higher on average, rather than making throwback encourage skipping more

[lyric wave]

ah true

[marsh swan]

I feel like most of the skips should be replaced

[solemn sonnet]

#blessed

[fringe nebula]

boss reroll, investment, double tag and voucher can stay

[manic talon]

Theres way too many money skips and only 1 and a half of them are good

[fringe nebula]

how do you buff the tags though

[lyric wave]

for the joker tags, make it create one so it can't have any stickers

or make it so that they can't have a sticker in the shop

[manic talon]

Honestly cutting the tags pool would make skipping better too

[lyric wave]

tru

[fringe nebula]

poly, holo, foil, and neg are weird because the joker that'll get the enhancement are random. idk how you're supposed to buff em

[lyric wave]

like genuinely who takes the mega standard pack skip

[fringe nebula]

mega standard is uhh yeah

def needs a buff

[lyric wave]

make it unable to have a sticker is my only guess

[solemn sonnet]

the guy that does the "balatro but i start with 0 cards" videos

mega standard pack is by far one of the most useless skips imo

[lyric wave]

should be deleted if we're being honest

[autumn sphinx]

B-but steel polychrome red seal king

[lyric wave]

how do you buff the skip without buffing the relatively balanced normal pack

[marsh dove]

well

the madness run has 2 souls

crazy

[lyric shore]

make it 2 packs

[lyric wave]

how many packs does it need before it's ever a consideration

and at what point is that number just too absurd to put into the game

[solemn sonnet]

You could make it have a copy of a random card from your deck but that doesn't seem like something that would fit into vanilla whatsoever

[lyric wave]

like is 5 mega standard packs really worth a skip?

[lyric wave]

that seems quite bad

[lyric shore]

yea

[solemn sonnet]

yea it only has a use when your deck is completely fixed and even at that skipping for one copy of a card isn't good either

[manic talon]

Wait lilo, since when you get a joker tag

[cloud sinew]

like 4 days ago

[cloud sinew]

Make the joker tags give stickerless jokers

[manic talon]

Nice, i stop hanging around in this channel for a while i miss a lot of stuff ig

[lyric wave]

you could also have those skips apply them to one of your jokers (EXCEPT negative tag where it'd be the stickerless idea)

[fringe nebula]

top-up tag is actually pretty nice because you're guaranteed to have clean jokers. No rental perishable whatsoever

[cloud sinew]

I dont like this idea, it makes them way too worth taking

[marsh dove]

crazy

[manic talon]

Free Poly on your jokers seems crazy

Ghost deck taking strays

[lyric wave]

fair enough, either you allow them to appear early and they get too much value or they can only appear too late and get no value

[manic talon]

Foiling a +mult joker also seems insanely good

Wheel but you know it hits damn

[tawdry rock]

oh my god not again

[lyric wave]

pretty mad run

[cloud sinew]

and what edition it hits

[tawdry rock]

[manic talon]

Ngl i had a poly skip + double tag recently for shit and giggles, and when it doesnt hit a sticker it does feel good (one of em hit eternal but im not selling it anyway so pretend its not eternal)

[plain briar]

is it worth unlocking 5oak or should i stick with 4oak until i unlock flush5

[lyric wave]

does a 4oak win

[wintry valley]

wtf i just discovered

[plain briar]

its only lvl2

so i dont think so

[lyric wave]

could go for 5oak then

[manic talon]

Its not worth unlocking 5oak or flush 5 honestly, especially given your current joker setup too

[wintry valley]

blueprint is compatible with cola so if you sell it next to it it will create a double tag

oop

[cloud sinew]

I think it does

[manic talon]

It also works with luchador

[lyric wave]

cola?

[cloud sinew]

Yes

[lyric wave]

yeah

[wraith iris]

should i... be concerned?

[plain briar]

so i just stick with 4oak?

[cloud sinew]

But not invis :(

[lyric wave]

imagine if it worked on invis, literal infinite money glitch lul

[manic talon]

Fucked up and twisted "game balance" decision by

[wraith iris]

it's a very suspicious best hand

may have had too many gold cards, idk

[manic talon]

balatro.exe

[tawdry rock]

dont play balatro at 3 am or jimbo.exe will come and give you -4 mult

[wraith iris]

ok i go to bed now

[lyric wave]

the real horror is that bloodstone gives +0 mult per hit

[wraith iris]

also, where in the world is it 3 am right now?

like alaska?

[tawdry rock]

its 5 oclock somewhere

[deep fossil]

It’s also raining somewhere else too

[lyric wave]

it's 3am here in alaska

so yes

I'm playing balatro at 3am... gonna get that -4 mult

[wraith iris]

THERE'S AN ALASKAN HERE?

it's not that crazy ig

but no one lives there

except you apparently

[lyric wave]

I'm not exactly a cryptid or anything, there's 70,000 people in this discord

[wraith iris]

but only like 5 reading this chat

[deep fossil]

There’s a 167k not 70k

[lyric wave]

yeah okay I didn't know the actual number

[deep fossil]

Okay

[tawdry rock]

please add 2000 people or remove 1000 people

[wraith iris]

if we say that an alaskan is as likely to use this server as the average english speaker, that gives us 50-100 alaskans on this seerver

[tawdry rock]

adding 1000 works too but i cant live with that dumb stupid number

[wraith iris]

that's a fair number i suppose

[lyric wave]

what's wrong with 68

[tawdry rock]

its ok

but 69 is better

[lyric wave]

true

both are better than six seven omg guys six seven

lol six-7

[vagrant wagon]

Whats i good idea here

[tawdry rock]

arcana pack

💯

[tawdry rock]

shitty pack 💯

uhhh ok whats your build supposed to be

[vagrant wagon]

A two pair build i think 🫠

[tawdry rock]

yeah okay but what cards

[deep fossil]

7 of them

7 cards

[vagrant wagon]

Don’t tought about it much now but I think I will go on face cards

[tawdry rock]

i guess turn the 2 into a jack with the death

[vagrant wagon]

Something else or just go on to the next blind

[tawdry rock]

next

[vagrant wagon]

Voucher and arcana would i take

[novel rain]

So apparently using Smeared Joker on Checked Deck doesn't unlock Rough Gem?

[tawdry rock]

..yeah

you need to turn your cool funny cards into diamonds

not have them considered diamonds

[tawdry rock]

but honestly clever thinking about using the smeared joker

[vagrant wagon]

Should i do cryptid

[stone spindle]

Nah

Click the money button

[vocal rose]

immolate

[stone spindle]

Also our poly is in the wrong spot or do we know this

[livid temple]

what do i replace

[stone spindle]

Probably dice

Also only 12 cards!?

[livid temple]

yes

[stone spindle]

Go add more

[royal bobcat]

u should prolly add more for rebate

[vagrant wagon]

Do i take the DNA?

[lyric wave]

no

[lyric shore]

for what

[royal bobcat]

you have pants so no not really

[stone spindle]

I see a mime and a dna

[royal bobcat]

unless you somehow have a lucky red seal polychrome card

[stone spindle]

Sell blue joker take both

[lyric wave]

if it's a even question of whether or not you take dna, you shouldn't take dna

[royal bobcat]

or a blue seal

[stone spindle]

You can take ir

And not use it

[lyric wave]

then why take it in the first place

[lyric shore]

in case

[stone spindle]

Because u can use it

[novel rain]

What happens if you use Strength on a stone card?

[lyric wave]

then the card below the stone goes up

[stone spindle]

The card under it gets strenghted

[stone spindle]

Also its ghost deck trance next in queue

[stone spindle]

JJ NOOO

[mortal dock]

You can't make this up

[stone spindle]

Also eternal clown on painted is not the move my friend

[mortal dock]

Didn't have a choice

[cloud sinew]

?

how did you not have a choice

[stone spindle]

Uhh

[plain briar]

he really needed rerolls

[stone spindle]

Skip is a choice

[lyric wave]

needed the +0 score from clown

[digital pewter]

nah guys you gotta trust the process

when flashcard comes back around they're gonna be hitting it big

[mortal dock]

Retry is the only option guys... I just wanted to show the irony

[lyric wave]

flash card gonna come back around ante 9 before small blind

[vestal copper]

hold r

[vagrant pike]

bro I had such a good run but my gros Micheal went extinct and now I can't get good +muti

[fringe crest]

peter

[patent sail]

you shouldnt rely on something that might explode at some random point, its good to have it but you cant rely on it

also play low garbage to get maximum out of raised fist

[vagrant pike]

ur right

but it was hard to find a xmuti thats good for my build

[patent sail]

i mean look at how much money you got

could reroll a bit to find something that works

[cloud sinew]

Yeah you dont need to keep that much money around lol

[patent sail]

25 bucks is enough

past that tgeres really no reason to keep money unless you rely on bull/boots

or you got interest vouchers i guess

[manic talon]

The type of greed they tell you in the bible

[patent sail]

when that mail in rebate hits

[distant vault]

[vagrant wagon]

[patent sail]

meh, maybe? are you able to do straights?

[patent sail]

fuck you violet vessel hell yea

[vagrant wagon]

My deck right now so i will try

[chrome narwhal]

Woooo

[sullen aspen]

considering ur on ghost deck yeah

[chrome narwhal]

That was number 5

[patent sail]

take that voucher as well i guess, you might need the discard

maybe

idk

[sullen aspen]

ure able to deck fix really easily

[sullen aspen]

yes

[vagrant wagon]

So Also the Order

[patent sail]

both

[sullen aspen]

order and voucher

[chrome narwhal]

Econ is also not a bad shout with letter

[vagrant wagon]

And then deck fixing i see

Should i hex the order

[patent sail]

sure

why not yet again

if youre keeping it then absolutely

[stone spindle]

This is true

Now chat does this win

[patent sail]

is there NOTHING ELSE you wanna discuss there?

[patent sail]

also the vessel is DEAD

[stone spindle]

Its just an average gold stake run idk what u want from me

[patent sail]

the jokers 😭😭😭 the hack and brainstorm 😭😭😭

[stone spindle]

I come from bmp

Got bored checked here

[wraith iris]

do i take obelisk here?

[stone spindle]

Sometimes i do single player runs

[stone spindle]

No

14 high cards i dont wanna die

[wraith iris]

makes sense

too hard to avoid playing high card

i've only used it like once before

[stone spindle]

Like u can

[wraith iris]

i dont know it well

[stone spindle]

Ye...

Like u won the run so like

[wraith iris]

wait i did?

[stone spindle]

Yup

[wraith iris]

this is enough on its own?

[stone spindle]

Basically if u keep scaling and rerolling and scaling wee joker you can just beat most bosses

[last geyser]

What hand should I focus on for the golden needle

[wraith iris]

ig so

[stone spindle]

Find any x mult and ur in (that doesnt include a joker that is too delicate) we also have supernova which is bad with obelisk

[stone spindle]

Youd be surprised how little u need to win a gold stake run of balatro

You got chip scaling and mult

Find a black board or card shark and ur basically free

[stone spindle]

I have more of these if u like

[wraith iris]

this is genuinely my first run with wee lol

[stone spindle]

Hes broken!

Like u can just do things in this game that doesnt involve playing fucking pairs

[patent sail]

WHAT are these joker textures

[stone spindle]

Owenlatro

[wraith iris]

ok i think we got it on lock now

im regretting the burglar a bit

but it's not bad

they're all the same, you're just unlucky lol

[light brook]

fun fact: jokers you inviz turn into red deck

[cloud sinew]

plasma W

[cloud sinew]

this is why red deck is one of the worst decks against amber acorn

[livid temple]

nah bro he lowk cooked icl

[stone spindle]

We did it

[light brook]

amber acorns a joke it’s so cheesable

[stone spindle]

This is true

[glossy forge]

8 BALL RUN RAAAAAARGH

[cloud sinew]

theyre all the same odds besides ones that have prerequisites; Stone Joker, Lucky Cat, Glass Joker, Steel Joker all require you to have at least one of their respective enhancements in your deck.

[glossy forge]

LMAOOO imma do the funny thing

[stone spindle]

Its good buy voucher

Gogogo

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[vocal rose]

wdym

that’s just very good joker

and if that’s your setup you can prob take tarot merchant for better fixing

[valid dock]

finally win gold stake

[valid dock]

i hate the stakes

[valid dock]

no

no

[cloud sinew]

stop posting this it isnt funny and it isnt balatro

[novel walrus]

Yes

[novel walrus]

Ok imma go to off topic then

[cursive crater]

what yall know abt joker poker

[cloud sinew]

I shouldnt have been mean, im sorry, and thank you

[tawdry rock]

balala

[cloud sinew]

@pale wolf you can "savescum" a new run in a winstreak on mobile (maybe other platforms too) if you close the game quick enough, letting you roll for a really good tag & boss start without resetting your streak

ill get a video of it hold on

[carmine spoke]

Should i ankh the raised fist

[tawdry rock]

first rip the judgement

[carmine spoke]

Alr

[carmine spoke]

Cartomancer

[terse vale]

naaah

[tawdry rock]

Awesome

[terse vale]

not yet atleast

banana needs to break

[cloud sinew]

yeah i would ankh fist later

[carmine spoke]

Do i go for the buffoon pack too

Or save up money

[cloud sinew]

I would just go next

[vagrant wagon]

Should i go arcana or smiley

[carmine spoke]

My scoring is good for now

[cloud sinew]

Smiley

Shouldve said to hex before taking it though, mb

you can savescum (go back to main menu) to undo it

[vagrant wagon]

You mean with the reserved parking?

[glossy forge]

Yeah exactly I'm elated at the chance to play a Glass Joker run!

[carmine spoke]

I found photo

[glossy forge]

I picked up the tarot merchant and he's sitting at x3.25

[wraith iris]

Ah I lost on ante 8 boss

[carmine spoke]

So uh

[tawdry rock]

nice

take photo

might find a chad later

[rich mauve]

pot

take the pot

do it

[wraith iris]

Random joker disabled, shoulda rerolled it. Big misplay

[rich mauve]

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[carmine spoke]

What if i sell all ankh raised fist and buy photo

[vagrant wagon]

Little question what is the best idea to win a run with out playing a flush

[carmine spoke]

Wouldnt work?

[tawdry rock]

no thats a really bad idea rn

[rich mauve]

it's always pairs

[carmine spoke]

Okay

[vagrant wagon]

Ok

[rich mauve]

but first ante go for straights or full houses

[tawdry rock]

youd get rid of a lot of your scoring just for a joker that only gives alright mult sometimes

[vagrant wagon]

My first shop

[carmine spoke]

How about i just found a rare tag

[cloud sinew]

@pale wolf okay i cant get a video of it, its really precise, but i did it once 😭

ill keep trying lol

[tawdry rock]

mo

no

rare tags are terrible

[carmine spoke]

Why

[vagrant wagon]

Should i do buffon

[carmine spoke]

Lowk i always take em

And negative tags too

[tawdry rock]

theres like a 90% chance it gives you a shitty joker that has no relation or synergy to your run and just makes you skip a way way better shop turn

[tawdry rock]

please stop skipping for anything that isnt investment tag

it is so unworth it most of the time

[carmine spoke]

Eh alr

[patent sail]

i sometimes full skip ante 1 when im lowk zoned out and doing whatever

[pale wolf]

closing the game entirely?

ye that's a part of the cloudscumming thing i've talked about a little bit, basically just using the cloud save instead of the local save to scum

[carmine spoke]

This lowk a hard decision

[pale wolf]

afaik that's what it is, and it doesnt work on airplane mode

[carmine spoke]

Immolate probably right?

[tawdry rock]

nope immolate

no good cards to cryptid

[ancient gyro]

so that's what happened to my last "win streak"

[tawdry rock]

and no reason to ecto or familiar

go for immolate

[patent sail]

this dude playing balatro at 14:37 😭😭😭😭 no one ever plays balatro at 14:37 dude wtf

[carmine spoke]

Why would i not

I was playing it mid class too

[vagrant wagon]

At what point do i switch to pairs

[patent sail]

mega spectral pack looking at me
