[prisma oak]

hanged man letting you get rid of cerulean bell is so good

[fair sapphire]

chad is making me cry right now

[wintry valley]

aw man i lost

yeah sadly i threw

atleast i learned some new stuff and i went from 2 million highest score to WHATEVER THAT IS

8 jokers unlocked

[tranquil steppe]

Only 10 jokers left to gold sticker. What do you all think they are

[stark karma]

Nice job!

[stark karma]

Stone and glass are classics

Perhaps idol and seance too

[fair sapphire]

matador

0 chance

[tranquil steppe]

Those are 2/10 of them yes

[inland fable]

Consegui familia

[tranquil steppe]

I have matador

[wintry valley]

oh my days

the soul came back to hunt me

[harsh relic]

boa mano brother

[tulip sapphire]

Im struggling to clear the stages at this part of the run with pairs level 18 what do I need to do

My deck now has 10 red seal queens in it but I assume I should stay with pairs?

[tranquil steppe]

Get an x mult

[tulip sapphire]

I think im cooked

[tranquil steppe]

But yea you’re locked into pairs

[tulip sapphire]

I need 90k

And i didnt get anything

[tranquil steppe]

Maybe Mr bones will save you

Got any glass? Steel?

[lime pawn]

do i need the ecto to get an additional copy or am i good already?

[tulip sapphire]

Yeah I lose

Thats so sad

[tranquil steppe]

Skipping is fun

[glad viper]

what do i gribbly grabbly

[tranquil steppe]

The blue man

[glad viper]

😭

[sand lily]

Blueprint you silly goose

[tranquil steppe]

What if I told you I skipped every single round 1 run

[tulip sapphire]

If i wanna go for a deck stacked 5oak Goldstake kinda thjng

Checkered deck is the place right?

[tranquil steppe]

Or abandoned I guess

[carmine path]

Will a debuffed card still trigger it's in hand effect at the end of a turn?

[fair sapphire]

bro WHAT

stacked pack

is this rare i’ve never seen/noticed before

[ornate grove]

sock photo and hack came from judgement..

[rancid gull]

you just need a chad now

[terse vale]

then glass

to not die

[terse vale]

and no!

[vagrant wagon]

What is the best idea here?

[shell dagger]

Immolate

[terse vale]

immolate and go next

[carmine path]

A real tragedy

[terse vale]

if you had onneeee more dollar it would have been cooler

[meager narwhal]

Is BP being on Yorick the right move here?

[sharp plank]

Yes

[meager narwhal]

Figured

[sharp plank]

19x is crazy

[meager narwhal]

Run is dead anyway

[meager narwhal]

Well I am on ante 13

[spring thicket]

Pretty sure unless u have red seals

[sharp plank]

That’s a lot of red seals

[meager narwhal]

Yeah but 94T is not happening

[sharp plank]

Maybe not yorick then

Maybe copy chad

[shell dagger]

With red seals u copy photo

Copying chad is a 4x

[sharp plank]

Photo is 6x?

[shell dagger]

32x

[sharp plank]

Holy fuck

[serene forge]

skill issue plant doesn't counter photochad

[tranquil steppe]

I had 23x once

[digital pewter]

the most gratifying delay you'll EVER see

[deep fossil]

Should I make a mod that just removes superposition

[tranquil steppe]

Yes

And satellite

And seance

Kill them. Kill them all

[digital pewter]

rework it to when an ace is scored in a straight it makes the tarot

[unborn cliff]

why do you have 7 jonkler slots

[digital pewter]

5 card draw challenge

[light brook]

matador.

[deep fossil]

?

[tranquil steppe]

Cuz he’s the goat

[light brook]

remove matador.

[tranquil steppe]

Matador is useful .01% of the time

[unborn cliff]

matador is an incredible joker when it works

[tranquil steppe]

Yes the .01% of the time he works

[meager narwhal]

Well, rip to the best run I've ever had

[unborn cliff]

surely thunk will make it so that it triggers on serpent and hook right

playing a hand does in fact trigger the boss blind

[serene forge]

bloodstone is so fucking booty butt asscheeks

[tranquil steppe]

Local Thunk will add more beneficial bosses like serpent

[unborn cliff]

i think you're noob actoually

you have oops

[serene forge]

make a mod that removes photograph

[unborn cliff]

No.

[light brook]

just get lucky 😂

[tranquil steppe]

You had Bloops!!!!

[vagrant wagon]

Should i do castle

[light brook]

how did you lose dawg

[unborn cliff]

yeah

[tranquil steppe]

Castle is fun

[serene forge]

no flush levels

[unborn cliff]

that isn't bloodstone's fault

[serene forge]

it is

it requires flush levels

[light brook]

that is NOT a bloodstone issue

[tranquil steppe]

Quick everyone bully the dude who lost

[unborn cliff]

also why did you not play your red seal nine

idiot

utterly foolish

[serene forge]

thats an azure seal silly

[tranquil steppe]

lol @unborn cliff is climbing the list fast

[light brook]

what’s that one scene in a play i know where the dude shoots another dude and blames it on another guy who’s not even in the scene

[tranquil steppe]

Oh that’s just the CIA

This

[serene forge]

https://cdn-useast1.kapwing.com/static/templates/who-killed-hannibal-meme-template-full-ca7bdf6c.webp

[light brook]

yes this one

[tranquil steppe]

That’s based off of that meme

[sharp plank]

Yes and take lovers while you’re at it

[unborn cliff]

wat

[serene forge]

if i took the eternal bus that was in the same shop as the bloodstone I wouldn't have lost

[light brook]

“how could bloodstone do this” says the dead run which clearly was caused by lack of flush levels

[tranquil steppe]

You know what you did

[serene forge]

there were tons of mercuries here

[unborn cliff]

it's only bloodstone's fault when you die when it doesnt hit due to lack of oops

[light brook]

son why were you taking mercuries in a bloodstone run

[unborn cliff]

every other bloodstone death is pure skill issue

[light brook]

she had oops though

[sharp plank]

Fr

[serene forge]

SO I CAN DEMONSTRATE HOW SHITTY BLOODSTONE IS ☠️

[unborn cliff]

precisely!!!!!!!

[tranquil steppe]

lol @light brook is also climbing the list

[unborn cliff]

so she is skill issue

[serene forge]

oh

i misread

[sharp plank]

Not enough flush levels

[unborn cliff]

almost misgendered

heart sunk

[serene forge]

no I didn't take mercuries for bloodstone

do you think im stupid

[unborn cliff]

yeah

[serene forge]

fuck you you use photochad

[unborn cliff]

sometimes at least

[light brook]

“let me load nerf darts into my pistol to demonstrate how badly it works” ahh

[sharp plank]

Yea

[light brook]

what 🙏

[serene forge]

yeah i would never pick up a bloodstone alone obviously because it sucks ass

[gritty laurel]

I feel like I really backed myself into a corner with pareidolia+scary face. Heavy dependency on it for chips but no scalable mult jokers or xmult.

Felt like I needed to bite the bullet and convert to a 1 slot chip option to make space for mult/xmult.

I sold scary face + pareidolia for brainstorm and then picked up castle on rerolls to try to rebuild chips.

Lost next round due to the chip problem.

Thoughts? Dead man walking? Overthought it and shouldn't have sold?

My feeling is I was already dead and needed to do something drastic to try to right course

Only had lvl 5 three of a kind

[serene forge]

this was literally a perfect scenario for a bloodstone start and it still died because it is ass

[leaden rune]

Hi people, can i share my game here to ask how to place my jokers?

[tranquil steppe]

Runiccccc

[serene forge]

your mult looks more weak than anything ngl

[gritty laurel]

Hm I guess I should have sold blueprint for more mult in retrospect?

[tranquil steppe]

Runic pyramid please love me

[sharp plank]

Sure

[livid temple]

Balatro players try not to force pairs challenge

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[leaden rune]

i have this rn (unseeded run, got lucky i guess), how do i wanna arrange them for the best results? im playing mostly wildcard kings/queens rn

[olive basin]

Shaw

[unborn cliff]

why no copy sock

[sharp plank]

Copy sock

[serene forge]

you don't force pairs, pairs force you usually

[serene forge]

hey

[leaden rune]

okay thank you :D anything else to improve my run?

[olive basin]

Hello:D

[leaden rune]

(other than deck optimization)

[unborn cliff]

polychrome red seal, brainstorm, more jokers

run of the mill trib run slop

[light brook]

5 million dollars

[serene forge]

ectoplasm would be good but sell chad before using it

dusk is also great

[leaden rune]

i think im good. 3e14 points at ante 7 boss blind

[unborn cliff]

that can also improve your run in real life as well

aura

[light brook]

oh wait we were talking about balatro

hex trust

[unborn cliff]

2hollis trips and falls at in n out

[gritty laurel]

yeahh, I felt like I had all these dead ends. Couldn't sell abstract with its +28, and couldn't realistically find a great replacement to beat it quickly. Maybe I used my remaining runway to get bonus chips on my 2/3/4/5 to replace scary+pareidolia but I also kind of needed the +20 from retriggers of luckys. Lots of misplays

[vale widget]

Gold stake is so annoying istg

[terse vale]

tarots

[digital pewter]

easy challenge

[unborn cliff]

how the hell was abstract at 28

[digital pewter]

it's still crazy to me how hard blast off was in comparison to literally all other challenges so far

[unborn cliff]

blast off sucks

yeah you start with good jokers

but WOW it sucks

[terse vale]

not even divisible by 3 :?

[unborn cliff]

balatro math rates are skyrocketing

[digital pewter]

it is absolutely not "worth - 2 hands and -1 joker slot" good, that's for sure

[gritty laurel]

Holo (+10) and 6x+3 jokers

[unborn cliff]

i see

[eternal kestrel]

The plant should quiver when the Luchador is sold

[terse vale]

wait ami wrong

[unborn cliff]

plant should quiver all the time because i will beat it to death because i hate it

[eternal kestrel]

Entirely valid

[digital pewter]

the violent vessel shivers when a soul card brings the red demon.

[unborn cliff]

you're gonna take eternal blueprint and then get verdant leaf

ok buddy

[terse vale]

just get sum glass

[eternal kestrel]

Took ankh which gave brainstorm

[unborn cliff]

dont do that again..

[terse vale]

wait

you do have glass

u didnt need lucha !

[unborn cliff]

kid named luchador

[eternal kestrel]

Couldn’t’ve played 5oak with any other card

Needed Luch

[digital pewter]

glass door

[terse vale]

I would hav just build 3oak

[eternal kestrel]

The red general

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[serene forge]

plant doesn't counter photochad anyway you're fine

[tawny venture]

wth stormcone mutual⁉️

[serene forge]

I have no clue who that is ngl

also project sekai ong

[leaden rune]

do i replace any of them with photograph?

[tawny venture]

I'm not surprised you don't know because I wasn't sure where you knew them from 😭

I just saw them as a mutual

[serene forge]

probably terraria discord

[tawny venture]

mayhaps

[serene forge]

we have another separate mutual apparently

[tacit quail]

wtf

[tawny venture]

stormcone is prevalent in the geometry dash space is where I know them personally

[tacit quail]

smeared joker and seeing double is guaranteed x2 on any club or spade

[serene forge]

I don't really play gd

[tawny venture]

so I assume that's not the case for you (thank god 🤣)

[fringe nebula]

thank you top-up tag

[tacit quail]

any club or spade = x2

sorry for order i was scaling

[tawny venture]

occasionally I'll see a joker I still haven't unlocked and go "oh yea that joker's a thing"

[barren wigeon]

alright folks, welcome back

[barren wigeon]

i do that with jokers i have unlocked

[tawny venture]

if I'm not stupid that club joker is called seeing double

[tacit quail]

ye

[barren wigeon]

tis

[tawny venture]

I'M RIGHT

I don't know how I got that

[tawny venture]

stone joker:

[barren wigeon]

mainly smeared joker

[serene forge]

seeing double and satellite are probably the most forgotten jokers

but like satellite is actual crap

see2 is good

[tawny venture]

smeared joker surprisingly isn't that rare for me and I take it whenever I can

[ember turtle]

i haven't played vanilla in 3 days
i feel like i know nothing about the game anymore

[barren wigeon]

I forget abt smeared joker until I get it from a judgement and then theres a frown on my face

I go boowomp

[tawny venture]

I've came across satellite a couple times but I don't really take it

usually by the time I do it's too late and my econ is set in stone

I do remember the run that unlocked it for me though'

[barren wigeon]

by the time satellite is good you dont need it

[shell rock]

straights run, bottom decked all of my queens

[manic zealot]

I just learned that the flint activates matador

[barren wigeon]

straight run without shortcut?

[manic zealot]

wtf

[barren wigeon]

youre just asking for it man

[vagrant wagon]

Should I do idol?

[shell rock]

no, four fingers

[barren wigeon]

nope

[tawny venture]

I had 12 double tags lined up and gained like $300 on a bootstraps + bull setup

[barren wigeon]

well theres your problem

[tacit quail]

whole lotta nothing 😭

[ember turtle]

i've done straight flush runs without shortcut, it's not mandatory

[shell rock]

the ONE time i try to build strush man

[vagrant wagon]

To much deck fixing or why

[barren wigeon]

ok but

why

[ember turtle]

uh

[tacit quail]

fym

[ember turtle]

wdym why

[barren wigeon]

too much setup in general

like

why would you want to

[tawny venture]

I LOVE THIS COMBO

[tacit quail]

so good

[serene forge]

fingers is crap

for straights

[barren wigeon]

ok bro do you REALLY need all 3

[harsh relic]

easy deck huh

[serene forge]

it's more of a strush jonkler

[tacit quail]

yeah i need all 3

[shell rock]

which is why i was building strush-

[serene forge]

I hate Four Fingers

[tawny venture]

okay maybe not smeared but it's fun to play at least 😭

[serene forge]

oh

[barren wigeon]

dont cut your messages this isnt 2020

[shell rock]

i like four fingers a lot, it just makes everything easier

[ember turtle]

because i had my straight flush at level 3, and had 20 cards of one suit and decided it'd be nice if i just go for it while still doing flushes with the help of jupiters
(i rarely play flushes)

[shell rock]

its a habit and i will not change-

[barren wigeon]

ok ew

[shell rock]

too bad-

[tacit quail]

i can not fucking believe i am scaling green joker with strushes

[barren wigeon]

i guess

[barren wigeon]

why in the world are you doing that

[sharp plank]

Lmao

[tawny venture]

I know having smeared joker and playing flushed deck is functionally very similar but is one actually superior than the other

[tacit quail]

because

[ember turtle]

wait y'all also call em strushes?

[barren wigeon]

wow your names blue

[tawny venture]

checkered deck I mean

fucking "flushed deck"

[ember turtle]

flush is bait

always switch off flush

[shell rock]

flush house is right there

[barren wigeon]

depends

[barren wigeon]

untrue

[ember turtle]

flush house and strush are very good hands to switch off flush with

[sharp plank]

Simply because I guessed correctly what the dev’s first console was

[barren wigeon]

what was it

[shell rock]

in my experience, flush runs only win with very good jokers or very high levels

[barren wigeon]

early game blue seals

[sharp plank]

PlayStation 1

[tawny venture]

wait omg I remember that conversation gg

[ember turtle]

those are not gonna help with making strushes..

[sharp plank]

Gg

[barren wigeon]

they will make flushes more viable and appealing

[ember turtle]

hmm sure

[ember turtle]

https://files.catbox.moe/lqdbu2.jpg

[terse vale]

HHGAGAGGGGAGAGAGGHHHH

[ember turtle]

this is half true

but without levels and jokers how else are you supposed to win

[manic zealot]

bro i was able to get like full payouts from this matador every boss

insane

[ember turtle]

also flush levels suck

[spice jacinth]

Flouse

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[fringe nebula]

always believe in top-up tag 🗣️

[pearl garnet]

I have a question, if I were to use an Ankh or an Invisible Joker and get a second Castle, would both Castles end up using the same suit every blind, or could I end up with one Castle wanting me to discard Spades and the other Castle wanting me to discard Hearts?

[tacit quail]

whas even going on here

[pearl garnet]

I wasn't sure where to post my question

[manic zealot]

I'm pretty sure they will be identical

[tacit quail]

noo my runnerrrr 2/3 my base chips noo

[serene forge]

suits will sync

the same happens with multiple ancient jokers

[fringe nebula]

crimson heart killed another run

o7

[tacit quail]

pray +20

noo

[keen pilot]

This shop hurts so much..

[fringe nebula]

yellow deck my beloved

[serene forge]

average crimson heart encounter

four out of six jokers are utility and you still get fucked

[tacit quail]

yeh

[fringe nebula]

you can also have $8 at first shop with blue deck ig

[serene forge]

ccitbpt

[errant bolt]

bro what's wrong with my balatro game

[glad viper]

hey, the screen is a little small

[serene forge]

the ds port just looks like that dw

[fringe nebula]

i'm being thrown back to the 2000s seeing this

[unreal jolt]

Hologram plus that one joker that gives a card with a seal every round is so gas

[manic zealot]

certificate

[unreal jolt]

Yea

[keen pilot]

Beautiful shop 1 pickup

[fringe nebula]

certificate by itself is really good

i love my blue seals

[unreal jolt]

No, I hate purple seals

[fringe nebula]

????

how

[unreal jolt]

They piss me off

Always making me discard the one card I don't wanna discard

Or I get. Them from a card pack and it's like, polychrome mult card with a purple seal so I miss out on the benefits of either a free tarot or 1.5x mult and 4 mult

[primal eagle]

what

[unreal jolt]

Then the tarot is always some useless shi like make 3 cards a spade

[primal eagle]

i acrually dislike blue seals

they kinda make the game boring for me

[unreal jolt]

So we just rage baitimg

[primal eagle]

no i seriously dont like it

cuz im using too much of it

[fringe nebula]

that's a fair point honestly

[lime pawn]

👀👀

[serene forge]

this you?

[lime pawn]

apart of the crew now

[unreal jolt]

Yea

It sucks

[primal eagle]

thats funny

[fringe nebula]

??????

[fringe nebula]

hallucination is very strong though

[unreal jolt]

I open a pack I don't even need and what do I get, a card turning stuff into hearts

If I even get a tarot card

[serene forge]

confirmation bias

[unreal jolt]

Hallucination is buns

[serene forge]

tarot gen in any capacity is useful

[unreal jolt]

Na

[primal eagle]

not even superpos is bottom 10

[unreal jolt]

Super position is bottom 2

[serene forge]

this is like saying space joker is bad because it can not hit

or that cav is bad because it can die

[primal eagle]

ok actually it might be bottom 10

[terse vale]

?

[unreal jolt]

Cavendish is heat

[terse vale]

????

[unreal jolt]

And that one's different, if it hits your Garunteed to get something useful

[serene forge]

nope

[primal eagle]

bus & obelisk is bad because if u reser it u die

[unreal jolt]

Yes

[terse vale]

goodness

[manic zealot]

it really isn't

[serene forge]

idol and blowman are worst

[unreal jolt]

Abandoned deck is so fun

[unreal jolt]

Literally never heard of these

[terse vale]

idol and showman?

[unreal jolt]

Tbf I've only unlocked like 130 jokers

[fringe nebula]

you can have temp, hermit, death, hangman, emperor, fool etc from tarot gen

that alone makes hallucination VERY worth it

[terse vale]

also just the general deckfixing like bonus cards and stone

and stuff like that

[fringe nebula]

glass is also really good

[leaden rune]

i got a bunch of red seal polychrome queens with these jokers rn, do i upgrade them to kings?

[unreal jolt]

You can also have any of the cards that change stuff into other suits, stone cards, and hang man isn't even good unless your deck relied on destroying cards

[unreal jolt]

Idk

[fringe nebula]

hangman is always good wdym???

[terse vale]

hanged man is fine on any run

yeah

[primal eagle]

hangman is always good wdym???

[unreal jolt]

Destroying cards is pointless unless you need less of a specific card or have a joker benefiting from less cards

[lunar zealot]

?

[unreal jolt]

?

[primal eagle]

?

[lunar zealot]

A joker benefiting from less cards is every joker

[fringe nebula]

?

[unreal jolt]

Who are we questioning

[terse vale]

gold cards, more reliable hands

[unreal jolt]

No tf?

[primal eagle]

blue joker

[lunar zealot]

Name one joker

[terse vale]

THE LIST GOES ON

[lunar zealot]

-2 chips oh the humanity

[terse vale]

bro is gonna name blue joker

[unreal jolt]

The joker that gives chips for each card in your deck

[lunar zealot]

It frees you up to get a seal card

[terse vale]

[lunar zealot]

Oh the humanity

[unreal jolt]

Is that blue joker?

[lunar zealot]

a joker you remove at ante 3

[lunar zealot]

Ohhhh the humanityyyy

[unreal jolt]

Preciate it

[lunar zealot]

Won't someone think of the children

Name one joker

[primal eagle]

thats 66.7% of the entire score if u play a debuffed lv1 high card on flint

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[lunar zealot]

Man shut your bitch ass up

[unreal jolt]

Just did

[shell dagger]

Joker

[unreal jolt]

Man shut your birch grass up

[primal eagle]

😭

[serene forge]

thats very rude Kami im telling your mother

[lunar zealot]

My mother is dead

[unreal jolt]

Woah

[primal eagle]

im still telling her tho

[leaden rune]

new highest hand, 1.3e21!

[serene forge]

i will resurrect her

[unreal jolt]

My highest is 4.2 mil

Or something like that

[errant plume]

is there even a way to get a debuffed card outside of the blinds

[lunar zealot]

please don't i don't think she'd enjoy living in 2026

[shell dagger]

My highest is 296

[unreal jolt]

Never beat the small blind in ante 11

[terse vale]

challenge?

[serene forge]

you're probably right

[shell dagger]

Double or nothing

[errant plume]

oh right that one

[lunar zealot]

your*

[unreal jolt]

No he was right

[shell dagger]

y’roeu*

You're is correct

good shit

[unreal jolt]

Bad shit

[lunar zealot]

Holy bbc

[fringe nebula]

rtb paredolia

[lunar zealot]

mmmmmngh

[unreal jolt]

[keen pilot]

why am I doing this to myself

[terse vale]

wouldn’t it be funny if standard packs could give debuffed cards like with no enhancement or anything

[terse vale]

?

peak

[unreal jolt]

I hate square joker

[terse vale]

ok

[primal eagle]

why😭

[terse vale]

well I knew that

[solemn tide]

any tips for green stake

[keen pilot]

Too much thinking

[unreal jolt]

Would be goated, add a joker that gains x mult for each debuffed card (plant hard counter)

[terse vale]

I guess just know which jokers are good ?

[scenic mortar]

I think square joker is a joker you can use in balatro

[terse vale]

idk

[fringe nebula]

the score requirement is higher on green stake
find joker sinergy

[terse vale]

A tier chip joker

[unreal jolt]

Green? It should be red then turn brown as you cook it

Your meat might be rotten

[shell dagger]

Learn where your score is coming from at any point in the run, like what % each joker is boosting score by

[primal eagle]

i been typing green deck tips until

😭

[fringe nebula]

hahaa

[unreal jolt]

I. Also on green stake, absolutely been eating sh for making dumb mistakes

[keen pilot]

Gotta make sure I play 4 cards, make sure all cards in hand are spades/clubs, and also that I get value from raised fist

[idle kernel]

“cavendihh” 🥀🥀🥀

[terse vale]

not that hard imma be honest

[unreal jolt]

It's heat

[terse vale]

you can even go high card if its that hard

[fringe nebula]

sounds fine

[errant plume]

true it really doesn't sound that bad (although going for pairs might be annoying)

[primal eagle]

ok i know how to play green stake

buy egg

[unreal jolt]

Too difficult, can never get the cards I need

[terse vale]

wdym

[errant plume]

🗣️

[terse vale]

if you’re talking about blackboard just pick up the light suits

[unreal jolt]

Like I need a high card but I only ever get flush fives and straight flushes

[opal canopy]

Suffering from success

[primal eagle]

just play 1 card instead

[leaden rune]

at what point is idol worth it?

[unreal jolt]

An IQ too high

[fringe nebula]

when your deck is fixed

[primal eagle]

your entire deck is in the same suit & rank

[unreal jolt]

Then I only get 1 card which gives like nothing

[primal eagle]

or close enough

[shell dagger]

small deck and at least 2 of each unique card

then it’s a 4x with good planets

fully fixed deck isn’t necessary

[opal canopy]

I got lv 18 full houses at ante 4

[unreal jolt]

Ok

[opal canopy]

Nice house

[unreal jolt]

It's my school

Someone left a sandwich on the ground

[errant plume]

i'd say when half of your deck is a single suit and rank but i've only used it once in this run i could be very far off

[opal canopy]

Why are you on dipcord and at school

[leaden rune]

what should i focus on deck fixing

[errant plume]

holy

[unreal jolt]

I'm not at school anymore

[opal canopy]

Oooooooooooooooh

[unreal jolt]

I'm eating lasanya

[opal canopy]

I’m eating air

[unreal jolt]

Chat died

[manic zealot]

yes we are dead

[unreal jolt]

@jade arrow fact check this

[ember turtle]

yummers

[fringe nebula]

i died the moment you told me that you hate purple seals

[errant plume]

pray for hung men and immolates that don't snipe queens idfk

[unreal jolt]

I hate purple seals

[lucid glacier]

is rich get richer a easy challenge deck

[unreal jolt]

Idk

[fringe nebula]

compared to the others yes

it would take fewer attempts

[lucid glacier]

ok

[leaden rune]

so going for polychrome red seal queens?

[errant plume]

yes

[mossy pumice]

Dumb question, kinda new to the game. How do I see my active....tags are they called? The buffs when you skip a blind.

[errant plume]

bottom right

[lucid glacier]

bottom left

[lunar zealot]

Bottom right

[errant plume]

should be to the right of your deck

[lucid glacier]

right

[lunar zealot]

Bottom middle

Top left

[mossy pumice]

ah okay, i did see something there at one point but the tag i got was consumed so I didn't see it anymore lol

[lunar zealot]

Ayyyy macarena

[mossy pumice]

but it'll be onscreen is what im hearing

[lunar zealot]

Depends on the tag

Some are instant some aren't

[mossy pumice]

i see. i'll have to pay more attension. I only just clicked skip blind or the first time after getting the game yesterday. i didn't understnd why i would skip but i also never touched the little icon next to it

[lucid glacier]

if im being honest skipping most of the time isnt worth it because you want to see shops

[mossy pumice]

is there a difference between "next shop" and "base edition shop"?

[lunar zealot]

Well you're in luck because skipping is really mid a lot of the time anyway

[lucid glacier]

no

[errant plume]

i've only skipped in one run (outside of impatience/ante 1 investment tag) and it was to get perishables to last until final boss

[lucid glacier]

do yall know if buying cards in challenge deck counts for achivment

[lucid glacier]

lol

[errant plume]

i don't think challenge decks count for any achievements (outside of 100% completion)

otherwise small deck would be way too easy with fragile

[lucid glacier]

ok

[errant plume]

and also i believe challenge decks don't count for unlocking stuff

[tacit quail]

That's a funny win but no sticker but yay

hmmm 1 glass right at end

[lucid glacier]

this joker compo is stupid but it works

[leaden rune]

got faced against crimson heart,,,, rip double legendary run

5e20/1.7e21

[errant plume]

😔

[heady fable]

Why are there no multiplicative chip jokers?

[leaden rune]

can i share the seed?

[errant plume]

probably in the seeds forum channel

[leaden rune]

early double legendary joker btw

like ante 3

[mossy pumice]

I just joined and I know that's in the #🙋・frequently-asked

[fringe nebula]

chips already get multiplied by mult

we don't need another one

[lunar zealot]

There is

it's called mult

[heady fable]

True but xchip would be cool

[lunar zealot]

We do have xchips

it's called mult

[heady fable]

Yes that exists but I'm talking about a joker that just multiplies your current chips like how cavendish multiplies mult

[lunar zealot]

Yes exactly

that's called mult

mult multiplies your current chips by mult's value

[heady fable]

Yes but why not have a joker that multiplies chips before they're multiplied by mult

[leaden rune]

thx, i posted :D (also had 15 new unlocks from one run)

[lucid glacier]

becuase iit wouldent be that good

[lunar zealot]

We do

it's called +mult

[errant plume]

15 new unlocks wtf

[mossy pumice]

Your question is answered in the #🙋・frequently-asked

Will you ever add X chips?
No, even if there are marginal differences between Xchips and Xmult, mult was always intended to be the only multiplier for your chips. Chips will only be additive.

[serene forge]

mult is xchips is why thats hard to understand

it multiplies chips thats why it's called mult obviously

[heady fable]

Its not

[serene forge]

it quite literally is

[fringe nebula]

wdym?????

[serene forge]

chips x mult

[heady fable]

I meant it's not hard to understand

[fringe nebula]

mult multiplies your chips

[heady fable]

😭

[serene forge]

clearly it is since you're not getting it obviously

[lunar zealot]

2000 x 10 = 1000 x 20

[heady fable]

I just want a time chip joker for arrowhead

[serene forge]

we got those

[mossy pumice]

I mean everyone screaming it's the same thing just stop. Even the dev admits in the FAQ there are margial differences. Just point them to the FAQ.

[heady fable]

I am getting it I just want an xchip joker

[serene forge]

most scoring jokers are mult jokers

[lunar zealot]

xchips will make plasma stupid

[leaden rune]

im only at 61% at the collection (211/340) so no wonder i got so many new discoveries

[errant plume]

ah

[lunar zealot]

there is no point to xchips except to make plasma deck stupid

[lucid glacier]

what do i sell

[errant bolt]

plasma deck already kinda busted

[serene forge]

bloodstone and photo

[lunar zealot]

Nah

[north spindle]

it would also make foil edition marginally worse

[fringe nebula]

seeing double

or bloodstone

[lucid glacier]

ok

[vocal rose]

x chip argument again?

[serene forge]

no

plasma sucks

[vocal rose]

it’s the second hardest

[fringe nebula]

first time since i joined this server

[errant bolt]

oh um i had really good plasma runs...

[lucid glacier]

i got canio 😭

[serene forge]

now honestly if xchips existed I wouldn't mind because plasma deck fucking sucks but thats beside the point

xchips would break the fundamental idea behind plasma

[serene forge]

good

[errant bolt]

it helps a lot for early game

[leaden rune]

and only failed to double bad boss blind 🥲 verdant leaf into crimson heart

[serene forge]

you have 223 dollars go find some hanged man

[opal canopy]

Omg it’s the hornet

[heady fable]

I just think they would be neat is all

[vocal rose]

we’re talking about gold stake

[errant bolt]

ah

[errant plume]

damn leaf too rip

[vocal rose]

which is usually the topic of discussion

[errant bolt]

I'm still only on purple stake as my highest

[opal canopy]

You could get 2 MAYBE 3 uses out of this

[leaden rune]

cant wait to unlock plasma deck, it looks so op

[errant bolt]

it's on either yellow deck or the double tag one

[fringe nebula]

it isn't

[serene forge]

I hate Orange Armadillo

[serene blade]

but then guess what

[errant plume]

i forgot anaglyph existed

[lunar zealot]

Plasma deck purple stake

[serene blade]

+2 hand size no downside

[lunar zealot]

violet vessel is 2.4 million chips

[opal canopy]

Chicken butt

[lucid glacier]

bro what is this seed?

[serene forge]

troubadour if it was crap:

[errant bolt]

double investment tag 👌

[serene forge]

WHY DID YOU SELL SEEING DOUBLE

[north spindle]

sorta cool
wonder if it would feel better as uncommon? i think id need to actually play with it to find out tho

[serene forge]

AAAAAAAA

[fringe nebula]

because they're going for flush

[opal canopy]

You have to keep a minimum of money and if you don’t, no had size for you

[leaden rune]

makes early antes easy, which is where i tend to fail cuz im too stupid to figure out early runs

[serene blade]

this... never LOSES hand size

[lucid glacier]

because i like bloodstone more

[serene blade]

it just asks for an ever increasing amount to improve

[serene forge]

plasma deck is easy for 3 rounds before you get your shit kicked in (aka literally the same amount of rounds as any other deck)

[opal canopy]

That sounds broken

[lucid glacier]

YORICK!!!!

[serene forge]

ewwwww

[serene blade]

the end result is plus 2 maybe plus 3 hand size

[vale shale]

6 7

[solid python]

y'all do i play this

[leaden rune]

idek what the downside of plasma deck is, i just see scores basically squared at some point

[serene blade]

or if you go insane in the money deck, maybe more

[vale shale]

OMG BALALA

[north spindle]

the way that chips/mult are distributed in the game means that its hard

[opal canopy]

If it just doesn’t go down at all, then you could horde 45$ quite easily, then reap the benefits permanently

[serene forge]

2x increased blind size

your score barely scales while blinds scale really really fast

[serene blade]

yes

[leaden rune]

x2 blind size for ^2 score, seems worth it tbh

[serene forge]

it isnt

[north spindle]

specifically
investing in chips early has way better returns
investing in mult is the only way to consistently actually get high enough amounts in the end game

[opal canopy]

Please tell me it would atleast be a legendary

[serene forge]

plasma is also just not fun becuase it makes flat mult jokers useless in early game

[serene blade]

legendary with plus two hand size????

[leaden rune]

but points jokers more useful

[north spindle]

so you're almost guaranteed to have to cross over at some point which is rough because if your chips and mult are close together plasma deck is basically just "x2 blind size"

[opal canopy]

..rare

[fringe nebula]

not really, plasma deck makes some jokers useless

[serene blade]

yes rare

[leaden rune]

idk balatro youtuber makes it look fun

[serene forge]

most balatro youtubers are crap

[opal canopy]

That’s a lot more fair

[serene forge]

balatro university is the only good one

if youre trying to learn

[leaden rune]

im just watching for fun runs

(roffle btw)

[errant bolt]

It kinda depends on if your goal is "I just want to beat ante 8" or "I want to get to the highest ante possible" tbh

[gritty laurel]

Thoughts on played hand based mult scalers on black deck? Eg ride the bus, grimbo

[serene forge]

those runs you see are also white stake where plasma actually doesn't suck

because white stake is easy enough where you can just go full chips and win

[leaden rune]

i just watch and play for fun 😎

[gritty laurel]

Does the -1 nerf them too much?

[serene forge]

you can't really do that at all on high stakes unless you get really lucky

[serene forge]

obviously they're still great but -1 hand still hurts a lot

[serene blade]

another route I thought of was making it start at 30 and then reduce scaling to doubling. not really sure on the PERFECT numbers for it

I wanted more jokers to give you benefits for hoarding cash

I think they're fun

Bootstraps and Bull deserve more friends

[errant bolt]

I'm a big yellow deck enjoyer, not having money in the very early antes is misery

[leaden rune]

whats funny is when i got this run, i was watching a video about a five triboulet run

[terse vale]

fair

[leaden rune]

i mean my highest stake i beat is red stake... im still new so not trying to break any records

[opal canopy]

Uh
Banking joker
If you have 50$ or more, gain 10 mult for every 5 dollars over

[vagrant wagon]

What is a good strat for DNA?

[opal canopy]

Prob needs a nerf buttt

[serene forge]

bad idea

win more cards aren't good

[serene forge]

sell it for interest

[nova junco]

Wouldn't that only be useful at the point where you don't need it anymore

[opal canopy]

Uhhhhhhh

[wicked moat]

Went into the final round with a lvl 39 high card lol, that’s gotta be a PR for me

Only 8 jokers left to gold sticker

[nova junco]

that's really the issue with jokers that give you score based on money, that every joker kind of does that when you buy them

[serene blade]

perfect

this is a shitpost btw

[serene forge]

bull is a good joker though

[nova junco]

So you maybe either keep $10 for 20 mult with that joker or get a blueprint or some xMult

[serene forge]

becuase the conversion is good

boots isn't good because the scaling is really bad

[nova junco]

Yes because bull is immediately useful

[leaden rune]

how long did it take to get gold stickers so far?

[high sun]

I just got c++

[wicked moat]

I’m on ios so idk the play time (it’s bigly) but I have 175 wins if that helps

[nova junco]

And also chips are a little more limited than mult to get so maybe I'd rather have a bull than a bootstraps

[high sun]

It doesn't take too terribly long if you start focusing on trying to sticker stuff

[nova junco]

I keep procrastinating the grind😭

[high sun]

Checkered deck is what got me there

[serene blade]

I mean. I'd like this if I pulled it

[wicked moat]

Don’t start the grind bro. Choose happiness. It’s just a game

[high sun]

A goal is fun tbh

[wicked moat]

I’m grinding Anaglyph, going for those big negative stacks

[high sun]

Checkered is easier imo

[pale wolf]

balatro

[nova junco]

"don't start the grind, I'm grinding anaglyph" 💅

[high sun]

I tried alaglyph and switched and my progress went much faster

[nova junco]

Also same

[wicked moat]

I don’t doubt it, I find Anaglyph hard to get rolling on, I have to get lucky with econ or good jokers early on

[leaden rune]

how many total games played?

[wicked moat]

Yes, take it from me

[nova junco]

I don't have many stickers(not on my main file at least) so any negative jokers will probably get it to me

[small needle]

hi am new

am playing baltro

[nova junco]

Hello welcome to hell

[small needle]

help

this brings me great pain

[cosmic sun]

[wicked moat]

Idk, it doesn’t tell me that on ios

[nova junco]

Nooo

Say it with me kids

[livid temple]

credit card in the judgement in the arcana pack

[leaden rune]

oh wait you cant look that up, thought you could see how many games played

[nova junco]

PERFECT TIMING

[small needle]

and if it isnt there

[high sun]

I got a credit card sticker for my irl credit card

[leaden rune]

im thinking about 100%ing this game on steam

[serene blade]

sending my sympathies

[nova junco]

It's a joke just get the buffoon and ignore the stencil lol

[wicked moat]

I wish. It’s probably a lot. I’m guessing I lose like at least 10 games for every 1 I win with Anaglyph

[high sun]

Game is better as a mobile game for me

[serene blade]

copy the seed and start again with yellow deck

[high sun]

Have it on both and it's more fun to play mobile to me

[nova junco]

Realest answer

[small needle]

which one has more sell value?

[manic zealot]

I'm guessing the holographic

[serene blade]

hmm A rare vs a holographic common

[nova junco]

I like it better on PC but mobile is just a lot more convenient, i usually play balatro when I'm on the train which is often

[neon tusk]

Not getting near NaN but I’m happy

[nova junco]

Why sell value😭

[small needle]

to get the stencil

[nova junco]

Ignore the stencil

[small needle]

it wont work right

goodbye stencil

[nova junco]

Get the lusty joker and score more points

[leaden rune]

are you playing anaglyph bc its most fun or easiest?

[nova junco]

Negative tag skip

[small needle]

i'll tell y'all how it goes

[leaden rune]

NaN is at ante 39? (is it score over 1.79e308 perhaps?)

[high sun]

People think its a good deck for c++ because you can get like 6 negatives on a good run

[serene blade]

Holo Lust $5+$3 = $4 sell value
Baseball $8 = $4 sell value

[high sun]

But just winning consistently is more important

[serene blade]

they are equal @small needle

[serene forge]

I hate Negative Tag

[high sun]

For c++

[nova junco]

Yes but having 10 jokers (6 of which completely useless) is peak balatro gameplay

[lunar zealot]

Frugnktidjbbjkkik;bbbbjjnbbb

[high sun]

What were people's last joker for c++. Mine was hack somehow

[primal eagle]

holo

i think bbc is $4 and holo is $5

[leaden rune]

how do you get to naneinf? like what scales so much that you can reach a score greater than 1.79e308

[primal eagle]

credit card

[high sun]

And took like 3 days to get the sticker for

[serene blade]

I mean. Think of the abstract joker and swashbuckler value

[primal eagle]

(it was almost rebate)

[wicked moat]

Yeah what they said. If you get a stack of negatives (happens maybe once every 2 or 3 winning runs) than you can possibly sticker one of the negatives, or at least have a powerful enough build with the negatives that you can swap one of your regular jokers for an un-gilded one

[nova junco]

It's a bit complicated but basically baron mime and an unholy amount of held in hand cards

[wicked moat]

Anaglyph is certainly not the most fun imo. Altho those negative payouts can be fun

Tough early game tho

[leaden rune]

oh so basically just hoping for a good run and negative tag on any joker you want to sticker?

[leaden rune]

sooo... steel king stacking?

[wicked moat]

Pretty much

[nova junco]

Yeah lol
It works well enough when any joker you want to sticker is most of the jokers

[high sun]

Checkered deck is the real tech for c++

Easy to win and to win with 2 or 3 disposable slots

[wicked moat]

E.g. here's one I sent a while ago

[nova junco]

Pretty much
There's a lot of tutorials if you want a better explanation

[primal eagle]

lets say you have 3 barons and 3 mimes.
Each red seal steel K in hand is going to trigger 5 times (itself + red seal + 3 mimes)
Each time it's gonna give you x1.5^4 (steel + 3 barons)
So each red seal steel K gives you 1.5^20
1.79e308 is 2^1024 which is around 1.5^1750, you just need like 90 of those Ks in hand

[leaden rune]

you have to have the sticker when u beat ante 8 for it to count?

[wicked moat]

Yep

[leaden rune]

pretty much what i thought, thx

certified king duping

i should c++ this game

[primal eagle]

its the easiest way

there are plenty of other ways to do it

but significantly harder

[nova junco]

Wait dont all of them involve baron mime somehow

[primal eagle]

not really

[nova junco]

There's the planet cards actually I think?

[primal eagle]

if you have trib/idol with 100000 retriggers and yes perkeo observatory

you can also do it

theres also other weirdly funny ways

dr spectred posted some

like stencil, stuntman, etc

[nova junco]

He's been on a quest to naneinf with stuntman hand size lmao

[leaden rune]

time to get 12 negative barons

[nova junco]

Or you could just install cryptid if you want

And play one hand

[leaden rune]

ive seen modded balatro vids. its crazy (i saw like e100 cash)

[nova junco]

I don't play cryptid but when I played it ONCE I crashed the game round 2

You don't even have to play the actual game you can just stay in the shop forever lmao

There's stuff that gives you free rolls and endless money it's crazy

[tulip sapphire]

Does this look good for a gold stake run

[neon tusk]

o7

[pearl garnet]

So what happens if I Ankh here? Do I get 7/6 Jokers?

[nova junco]

I don't think the game lets you ankh?

Not sure

[pearl garnet]

When I select it there is a an option to Use

[nova junco]

try it for the content

[small needle]

death

[nova junco]

And get castle of course

[normal elk]

Did someone know how many cryptid is necessary for naneinf, I don't want to mess it up this time

[pearl garnet]

It tells me No Space

[nova junco]

Oh damn

[primal eagle]

it will say nosoace

space

oh im late

[pearl garnet]

Oh well, Red Card value

[normal elk]

Found that seed while having fun with my brother on the game, that's probably my best seed ever

[mossy pumice]

wait.....that was a huge mistake wasn't it. I just took hieroglyph on black deck

[serene blade]

and it has a buy value of like 9

WAIT WRONG CHANNEL

[nova junco]

Oh no

[serene blade]

I wondered why people were talking about normal balatro

[mossy pumice]

i forgot about -1 hand

[serene blade]

back to the modded pits for me

[tulip sapphire]

So depressing

[pearl garnet]

Well, it was fun while it lasted. I always love seeing an Eternal Madness on Ghost Deck

[mossy pumice]

aaaand it's dead because i was risky

[autumn glen]

WHAT IS THIS LUCK

HOLY BALATRO

[nova junco]

Time to hang em

[small needle]

guys

rate the icon

[high sun]

Oh god people play balatro with a controller? Seems like literal hell

[autumn glen]

It’s not

There’s like no difference

[small needle]

balatro vr when

[high sun]

Maybe not for you, seems like my literal hell

Also the game might have no difference in mechanics but the play experience would be very different

[earnest pelican]

It's definitely a lot different

I have a bunch of hours on both PC and Xbox

[deep fossil]

aleeb 😃

[earnest pelican]

It's tedious on a controller at first, but it has a lot of button shortcuts that make it go quicker once you get them memorized

[keen pilot]

That moment when you're trying to play a straight, but

[deep fossil]

gayce of hearts

[high sun]

Why would you try to play a straight build

[keen pilot]

Idk, maybe I'm doing jokerless

[deep fossil]

Yeah gay builds are way better

[lament bronze]

[odd sorrel]

Do I even take this??

[fervent wolf]

Hi everyone

[faint linden]

Why the fuck would you take Eternal Bloodstone?

[odd sorrel]

I like bloodstone

[faint linden]

What happened to femball card

[odd sorrel]

I do not play for optimal outcomes, I play for fun typically and bloodstone is like top 5 jokers for me

[fervent wolf]

She will make a return when she feels like it!!

[terse pendant]

decent shop

[faint linden]

Ok. That tracks. 99% of the time, this server tries to go for optimal outcomes

[strange abyss]

+4 mult /10

[terse pendant]

(don’t ask about the build my swashbuckler is +295 mult rn)

[odd sorrel]

I Could sell blueprint and live probably but lowkey I don’t think there’s a lot of good outcomes from the soul anyway so I think I’m gonna skip

[strange abyss]

You could go to a casino and get something similar

[tranquil steppe]

What if we had a weaker copying joker that had a 1/6 chance to die like nanners

[high sun]

Too bad the blood stone is eternal

[keen pilot]

wow, I just pivoted into this build..

Oh also, both brainstorms are worth $22, so I get max temperance mostly just from these lul

[tulip sapphire]

Does this look like it could be my first gold stake win?

Or do I need to improve some stuff

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 7

[serene forge]

2/9/26 balatrodle in 4

[serene forge]

makes a bad decision
doesn't get punished
still complains

[fringe warren]

Sell Chad for soul get chicot sell chicot reroll shop once to get Chad again make 4 dollar profit

[tulip sapphire]

Me when I get flamed for picture from ages ago

🥺🥺🥺

[serene forge]

sell bloodstone

[serene forge]

this looks winnable if you don't get needled

[normal elk]

Is it enough ?

[tulip sapphire]

The moment u said this btw

[odd sorrel]

Not bad

[fringe warren]

I read local thunk like a book

[naive jolt]

Guys i want to do the wee, but i'll fuck it up also trading card very cool
But i like the wee
But trading card op

[serene forge]

new balatro update looks amazing

[serene forge]

wee

it's abandoned

[naive jolt]

Tf is this standard pack

[serene forge]

trash

[naive jolt]

Tf you saying it's 2 strength away from being perfect

[serene forge]

red seal is better

polychrome isn't even good on cards outside of endless usually

though maybe if you get chad hack it could be silly

[naive jolt]

I hate the mouth i hate the mouth i hate the mouth

It's a fucking ass boss

I always forget i can't pay different hands

Every single fucking time i forget

It's not even that i get greedy

[serene forge]

reading boss blind explains boss blind

[naive jolt]

It just doesn't register

I read it i go ok and i do it even then

Why why why

I hate it

It was a nice run

Fun jimbo and stuff

I wish there was a warning before playing the hand you will be locked on [hand]

I hate myself

[rare anchor]

i beat green stake with 2 jokers

[rare anchor]

it's especially annoying when you have dna, i had a build that was blueprint, brainstorm, dna, hologram and something else and i accidentally died to the mouth by cloning something

[heady fable]

Best run I've ever had died to misclick caused by crappy ui on the console version

[spark kernel]

What 😭 🙏

[heady fable]

Why does it automatically move your cursor to blind selection when reroling

Very frustrating

[naive jolt]

Yeah that kind of blunder moment

[serene forge]

punished for using dna

[naive jolt]

Oof

[spring thicket]

Pivot?

[heady narwhal]

pivot to popcorn greedy joker

[heady fable]

I got the plant, rerolled, got pillar, reroled to mouth, played another blind to farm money, next blind select screen I reroled to head, tried to reroled immediately but for some reason it auto placed my cursor on blind select and I clicked that by accident

[tacit stream]

It says "hand will not score" when you select the hand.

[terse vale]

?

this seems fine to me

like the perfect stm run

[naive jolt]

No no
It needs to say what hand will score before it score

My problem is i scored a high card and then realized wait i'm fucked when selecting my other hand and ir telling me ehe nope

[heady fable]

And idol just never showed up, he's so petty I hate him

[terse vale]

also its white stake scaling you genuinely just win right now

[heady fable]

He'll show up on ante 2 and then will get so butthurt you didn't pick him like yeah dude I'm not buying you when I have zero deck fixing

[terse vale]

hopefully you’ve been putting steel on numbered cards in case the plant ?
