[ancient gyro]

I hope you didnt

🦵

[fringe nebula]

zzzzzzz

[ancient gyro]

omg bro shut up

[sour sleet]

It’s so perfect, how do you do this?!

[fringe nebula]

by being so weak at the midgame

[sour sleet]

The legendary setup of wow

[stable swift]

Hello

[sour sleet]

That’s fair I guess, using all my energy to send you a nat negative abstract joker near you

[sour sleet]

HELO!

[ancient gyro]

the synergy of all time

[fringe nebula]

AGAIN

[wintry ice]

by 2222

[cyan briar]

[fringe nebula]

i hate plasma deck so much

[wintry ice]

true

[ebon maple]

I hate nebula

[ancient gyro]

true

[sour sleet]

What should I do guys, take the cardomancer instead of drunkard? It’s gold stake and I’m playing flushes

[shell dagger]

what level flush

[lapis blade]

How dare they tempt me like this

[shell dagger]

I wouldn’t drop drunkard

[sour sleet]

Oh wow, I don’t know what to say atp

Flush lv 4 so 10mult

[sacred maple]

HELL YEAH 2ND WIN
thank god I stacked up 3 holographics and 4 polychromes. I just had to memorize where the polychromes are.

[shell dagger]

drop flash card then

[sour sleet]

I have 9hand size, the flash card? Ok thought I’d keep for its scaling quite nicely

[wintry ice]

yea flash card and ancient are incompatible

[sour sleet]

Let’s goo!! Nice job

[sour sleet]

I should’ve known, sorry!

[grim crane]

does sock and buskin work in this

[leaden dragon]

sure, why not

[grim crane]

like does it retrigger in hand cards

[sacred maple]

WAAAIIIT
I forgot that it's not 3 holographics, it's 2 holographics and one negative

Good thing bootstraps is quite good, otherwise it'd be a waste of a negative.

[spark canyon]

thanks

[sour sleet]

No it doesn’t, you shouldn’t take it because if your doings. Run with hand held kings, then the cards you play won’t matter as much

[shell dagger]

no

[sacred maple]

Need help. I found a gros michel in the shop. Should I risk it and get it for a miniscule chance of Cavendish or should I not risk it?

[sour sleet]

Negative skips tsk tsk tsk

[shell dagger]

the decision won’t affect your highest ante this run

[sacred maple]

At least you can buy it even if your joker slots are full.

[fringe nebula]

and that is why i always keep luchador in my slot

[sacred maple]

I know but I want to get super far.

[spark canyon]

i'm a simple man, i see a negative tag, i gladly skip

[sour sleet]

That’s fair, I love taking them too! Especially on anaglyph deck (spelling sorry…)

[ancient gyro]

a simple 3x isn't going to help you in blinds that increase by a couple scientific notations every ante

[shell dagger]

Play plasma deck then

[spark canyon]

🤝

[sour sleet]

You can if you’d like to! It may not change much, but I’d take banana just because it’s a banana, it’s fun to me! If you wish, you can ignore them telling ya it’s not ‘optimal’ or whatever

[sour sleet]

🤝

[leaden dragon]

double tag is ass

fight me

[wintry ice]

it's pretty niche outside of endless

the best tag to use it on is handy tag

[sour sleet]

Or negative tag or you just wanna have fun, or are gambling for the completionist achievement

[wintry ice]

i thought it was about general viability

[sour sleet]

Then yeah it’s pretty bad, but I like to think about the many niches different cards have!

[sacred maple]

Not unlocked yet

[sour sleet]

If you’re still on that one shop then I’d get rid of your first joker if you really wanna do a gros or cavendish run to help ya out!

[flat terrace]

Does Android version of Balatro have settings for changing resolution and FPS cap? Do they work?

In my experience they didn't, but I would like to hear from others as well

[sour sleet]

love the pfp

Can’t help with your question but just wanted to tell ya it’s great!

[flat terrace]

Oh, a friend of mine made it, jokingly saying that it's a treasure from Egypt or something

[mortal dock]

Finally won black deck with

And swashbuckler

[flat terrace]

I liked how unique and simple it was, so I've had it as my PFP ever since

[pale wolf]

not that i know of, although you can probably change phone settings and it'll accommodate

[sour sleet]

Ah! Neat, I guess then that you forgot to edit your about me aswell given that your on internet now?

It’s very nice!

[flat terrace]

Eh, I don't really have much to add there

[sour sleet]

Nice!! What was swash at?

[flat terrace]

I don't know what those settings are, but I'll look them up I guess...

I didn't really find much info about them. Guess I'll suggest a better implementation of resolution and FPS cap in #1155557846805643434

[pale wolf]

theres some limited options by default in my developer settings

I'm not sure why you would want to cap the FPS though

I think it's already capped at 60 since that's what the game runs at

[flat terrace]

It's to mitigate overheating

I looked up online and saw someone with a Samsung Galaxy device saying that adjusting resolution and FPS cap to lower values worked for mitigating overheating

[atomic trout]

It's Valentine's Day ♥️

[flat terrace]

What does that Joker do?

[fringe nebula]

the world, the sun, the moon, and the stars
all bow before the lovers
for love is the wheel of the universe

[fringe nebula]

+3 mult for each heart played (stronger with retrigger)

[rose wolf]

can someone explain the 5 eternal polychrome madnesses joke to me, i've seen it in this server and i have no clue what the joke is supposed to be

[open mortar]

i won my first vanilla run

[rose wolf]

congrats!

[fringe nebula]

madness is just that one funny joker that gets stronger on higher antes ig

[pale wolf]

what

[rose wolf]

i don't understand it either

[fringe nebula]

this is madness

[rose wolf]

i know what madness is

i just don't know why that specific screenshot become a meme

[pale wolf]

madness?
||THIS IS SPARTA||

[fringe nebula]

i meant that literally

such a madness

[rose wolf]

oh

[shy stirrup]

A fun two pair build

Got to ante 11. Got the Pants up to +114 mult and the Constellation up to x6.3

[cosmic sun]

clippy is in shambles

[uneven orbit]

space joker carried

[cosmic sun]

It did

[shy stirrup]

Verdant Leaf thought he did something there

[uneven orbit]

I sure do have the best mega arcana pack

I'm not even sure if I wanna pick lovers

[terse vale]

moon and wheel why not

[uneven orbit]

I mean, I'm doing a high card run

[terse vale]

wait what cover did the pack have

it wus tower wasnt it

[uneven orbit]

No idea

[terse vale]

I only say moon cus blackboard and wheel cus why not

[uneven orbit]

It can work yeah

I'm just gonna pick wheel and skip tho

Spent 8 dollar for a "Nope!"

[torpid bridge]

[uneven orbit]

I got a holographic

[terse vale]

coool

[torpid bridge]

I love bloodstone

[uneven orbit]

ima finish the run and see how it goes

[brittle folio]

guys is it better for blueprint to copy sock & buskin or idol

[amber forge]

Buskin I think

[cyan briar]

buskin

[brittle folio]

Alr

[cyan briar]

if it doesnt work that well just copy idol

[leaden dragon]

@acoustic ridge

i have an idea

cloverpit x balatro collab

[cyan briar]

they already collabed

[torpid bridge]

Did you actually ping everyone?

Or someone with the name everyon

[leaden dragon]

i'm such an idiot

[leaden dragon]

it's like 1k people

not the whole server

but what if we had a ror2 collab

that would be gas lowk

[torpid bridge]

Thats lame attempting ping everyone ngl

[cyan briar]

yeah

[torpid bridge]

Imagine mods forgot to lock access to everyone ping

[leaden dragon]

you also despise ride the bus?

my man

[torpid bridge]

Yeah

[leaden dragon]

such mid has never been seen before🥹

[cyan briar]

like always

[cosmic sun]

"Here is all the xmult you will ever need"

[cyan briar]

21 million on ante 4

[torpid bridge]

Bet it was Retrig build

[cyan briar]

wdym by retrig

[torpid bridge]

Ancient

[cyan briar]

i just used photochad combo

[torpid bridge]

Thats a retrig

[cyan briar]

with 2 blueprints

[torpid bridge]

Combo

[cyan briar]

and 1 brainstorm

unseeded btw

[torpid bridge]

Photo, ancient, idol, tribo are scoring mostly by retrig

🤓

[torpid bridge]

To be strong i mean

[median nova]

Double legends in my seed 😛

[cyan briar]

once i got 3 legends on a unseeded run

and i just started replaying balatro

😭

[median nova]

damn so lucky wth

[cyan briar]

i have the clip on my console

and the seed

[weak relic]

Chicken nuggets

[median nova]

don't really play seeded either but that's cool

[cyan briar]

me neither, i dont really play seeds

[lost nova]

Hey I need help with black deck orange/gold stake

Only way I’ve been able to get far is if I’ve been lucky to get the right jokers (I came back to Balatro so I’m a little rusty)

[fickle mesa]

tldr play pairs

scaling jokers like green joker and square joker are very powerful

try to stay aware of your scoring and focus on powerful ways to close out the endgame after incrementing your way through the first 5-6 antes

[plush lance]

Current run

Dusk , Bean and cavendish clutch

[lost nova]

What if I’m not lucky enough to get scaling

Cuz that’s pretty much my gameplay

[leaden dragon]

holyyy

i got a great run but i don't think i can say the seed in here

[cyan briar]

https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1156061354076155944

and https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1155567192771928104

[leaden dragon]

no

i literally cannot

it's a forbidden word

[cyan briar]

wdym

[fickle mesa]

these are usually harder runs, you do need to find some source of scaling but sometimes they can be a little more unconventional than just jokers

[leaden dragon]

https://giphy.com/gifs/meme-clown-balatro-UBpe7uiZCyCt685Gar?message=i-used-a-slur-as-a-seed

copy paste this

[fickle mesa]

think of jokers like shoot the moon or marble joker as scaling mult/chips options

[cyan briar]

https://giphy.com/gifs/meme-clown-balatro-UBpe7uiZCyCt685Gar

[fickle mesa]

or maybe you use stone cards without using marble joker

pop open standard packs to find blue seals those are incredibly powerful and then can be paired with steel and glass lategame

[unborn cliff]

thats oomf

[fickle mesa]

you need to find some way to scale - scaling jokers are just the most straightforward way

okay this is funny

im assuming im not gonna get in trouble for posting this since i meant it in the "ruining your run" sense

[cosmic sun]

you buy enough flat mult to match the scoring of the ante and then pray for a scaler, or if you don't find what you need you move on and hope for enough xmult to make up for it.

Half Joker and Fist can be good for this

[fickle mesa]

its not just about hoping

its about making a lotttt of money

with enough money you can just do anything

maximize your money

[calm moth]

Whats the strongest order for these jokers?

[fickle mesa]

youve got it

actually

okay i didnt see the holographic

i think this is still correct though?

42 x 1.5 = 63 + 10 = 73

[true cliff]

Yeah no jokers give mult after the hand is played so yeah

It's good even with editions taken into account

[glad sun]

Did game get update yet

[fickle mesa]

27 + 10 = 37 x 1.5 = fraction thats lower than 73

[flat terrace]

Oh wait, order of Jokers matters in most cases?

[fickle mesa]

it has gotten many "friends of jimbo" updates that add different card skins

[fickle mesa]

yes

[pastel pagoda]

Only matters if you have a flat mult joker and an xmult joker

[fickle mesa]

generally you want +mults on the left and xmults on the right for maximum scoring

[flat terrace]

I'll keep that in mind

[pastel pagoda]

Same goes for cards

[glad sun]

so game = abandonwares? this is sadness

[terse vale]

?

[fickle mesa]

the game is literally in active development

[flat terrace]

Oh, xmult cards exist?

[fickle mesa]

it is not abandonware ya goof

[terse vale]

yesss

[pastel pagoda]

Yeah. Steel, polychrome and glass cards all give xmult. There are also jokers that give specific cards xmult when scored, for example idol

[flat terrace]

Don't steel cards need to stay in hand to give mult though

[cyan briar]

glass, steel and polycrome

[terse vale]

yeah! its okay though

[cyan briar]

they still give xmult

[fickle mesa]

yes to the right of things like queens if you have shoot the moon

or right of the lowest card if you have raised fist

[pastel pagoda]

Yes, but if you have specific jokers that give flat mult to cards held in hand the order matters

[cyan briar]

ante 2

[balmy ocean]

A modest score

[fickle mesa]

why did u not pick up aura with that seltzer

i guess it doesnt matter too much

you win anyways

[novel rain]

Chat would it be better to copy Chad or Fibonacci?

[cyan briar]

wdym with modest

[balmy ocean]

A fine score

[balmy ocean]

I would say fib but your choice

[thorny pebble]

There will be a balatro update this year right

Any idea when?

[pastel pagoda]

Balatro tomorrow

[balmy ocean]

Well we said that last year

[thorny pebble]

I know,,,

[balmy ocean]

So I’m pretty hopeful

[pastel pagoda]

Depends on the hand you play

[novel rain]

Low straights

5-A

[thorny pebble]

What's the highest e before naneinf

like x e300?

[pastel pagoda]

Yeah fib is better to copy here if you dont have any editions/seals/ehncancements

[cyan briar]

yes

[shell dagger]

1e308 is not yet naneinf

2e308 is

[thorny pebble]

so then what is

[pastel pagoda]

I think its like 368

[thorny pebble]

ah

thanks

[shell dagger]

Specifically 1.797e308 which is 2^1024

[thorny pebble]

Good to know that I'm still 270 orders of magnitude away from naneinf

seedless naneinf that is

[novel rain]

Yeah okay copying fib is slightly better

[cyan briar]

damn

[novel rain]

Just about 10,000 more chips it seems

[pastel pagoda]

Emotional support mystic summit

[calm moth]

So times mult goes last?

[thorny pebble]

Yeah, put your polychrome spade joker last as well

polychrome is 1,5x too

[obtuse shuttle]

I"am SO NERVEOUS

[burnt drift]

if anyon has the new rayman DM me

PLS

[stiff ore]

fuckign finally

[pastel pagoda]

The order of jokers is a little bit more complicated if you have a brainstorm

[wise bear]

Good

[wise bear]

[pastel pagoda]

Emotional support egg

[calm moth]

Whats the best order with brainstorm

[pastel pagoda]

Depends on what cards you are playing. If you have good enhancements/seals/editions then its better to copy the chad

[stiff ore]

just one more deck to unlock

[pastel pagoda]

If you dont I would just copy the tribe whenever playing flushes

[pastel pagoda]

Copying hallucination whenever you open any packs is important too

[terse vale]

tribe

[crystal trench]

Could you give me the seed?

[thorny pebble]

huh?

[stiff ore]

swearing to the gods not to screw this run on me

[rich mauve]

how did it go?

[stiff ore]

why do i ever open my mouth

hoe the hell are you supposed to win purple stake with anaglyph deck anyway

ive been trying for weekss

[shell dagger]

Dont double skip ante 1

[stiff ore]

i normally dont

i got the pillar and 2 free shop tags so i decided to give it a shot

[royal bobcat]

Ure playing the blank deck

[terse vale]

still not worth it

never double skip ante 1

[stiff ore]

Like I said I don't normally do it

[terse vale]

well i’m saying to never do it

[stiff ore]

Fine

Sorry

[royal bobcat]

Always do it

It never backfires

PLEASE double skip for the D6 foil tag

[terse vale]

its ok! im just saying

[rich mauve]

always skip ante 1

never punished

do it

skip class

[fickle mesa]

tbf i totally would take 2 investment tags on blue deck

or painted or checkered

that or double tag + investment in that order

[ebon maple]

I just had an idea for a joker

Game changer: changes the joker-played card order

[fickle mesa]

this is kind of a chicot joker

of "removes a very interesting mechanic of the game and makes things more boring"

[warped herald]

New to the game how do I win on green deck,I'm trying to unlock as much decks as possible

[fickle mesa]

its powerful for the sake of being powerful and doesnt have the player interact with the mechanics in a meaningful way

[crystal trench]

What are your guys’ best hands?

[fickle mesa]

pair is not just my best hand

it is the best hand

[crystal trench]

I mean score

in one hand

[fickle mesa]

ag

[crystal trench]

also no that would be flush

[fickle mesa]

probably like e12

[fickle mesa]

lol

okay

[twin lantern]

Naneinf

[fickle mesa]

do you play on white stake?

[iron vigil]

Blast off fellas

done ✅

now only jokerless left

[crystal trench]

Woah, how?

[crystal trench]

Isn’t that hella difficult though

[warped herald]

Dante how do I win on green deck manager

[iron vigil]

🕐 🕥 🕔 🕧

!!!!!!

[warped herald]

Understood.

I genuinely might have the worst rng ever

Plus I'm fairly new to the game

[twin lantern]

seeded run negative perkeo and trib it allowed me to scale both far enough were I could naninf nearly every hand

[terse vale]

ehhh honestly

[fickle mesa]

ive never done naneinf it seems very annoying and time consuming

[crystal trench]

I mean non seeded lol my apologies for not specifying

[iron vigil]

.

I feel it will be kinda tame

blast off was probably harder

[twin lantern]

oh then e301

[crystal trench]

holy moly isn’t that close to naninf anyway?

[fickle mesa]

getting to ante 18 or whatever and losing because you didnt get boss reroll

[terse vale]

I got to e125 and I never wanna do a highscore run again that was boring asf

[warped herald]

My highest hand was like a 20m I think

[static urchin]

What Strat you guys use to get past the jokerless challenge

[warped herald]

Flush with ancient joker and hanging chad

[fickle mesa]

level up straights

[static urchin]

So inconsistent tho

[twin lantern]

yes off by a couple 0s 🙏

[fickle mesa]

youve got an extra discard

[terse vale]

4oak

[fickle mesa]

you should be fine to draw them until eventually you get a hung man

its hard to win every time at the jokerless challenge

4oak is good too

[static urchin]

4oak?

[fickle mesa]

stuff that scales well w mult and chips

[pastel pagoda]

4 of a kind

[fickle mesa]

four of a kind

[iron vigil]

think of the shops as having chill deck fixing and planet scaling

[static urchin]

Oh mb

[iron vigil]

and then you just have to worry about econ

so manage your hands efficiently and dont steer off too much from your main hand

and with the deck fixing do a little econ with the devil cards

[static urchin]

Okay

[iron vigil]

this

[fickle mesa]

your hardest part will probably be your early game

[ebon maple]

Went with 4ok and 5ok

[iron vigil]

4oak i think is the best scaling planet in the game later on

also allows you to get some cards in your hand for econ and x mult

[fickle mesa]

at a certain point uve got enough tarots and planets coming in that you just win

[terse vale]

honestly its the midgame for me

[ebon maple]

Flush five and flush house and 5ok better

[iron vigil]

don't think so

[terse vale]

cus sometimes the planets just don’t come in

[fickle mesa]

its the same as mars

[ebon maple]

But yeah mostly 4oak is the best build

[iron vigil]

i should've clarified it better

[ebon maple]

50-5 35-4 50-3 vs 30-3

Iirc

[willow frost]

yes

4oak is mars

[iron vigil]

4oak you can hold one more card in your hand, you can also get it earlier on if you havent unlocked 5oak or flush five, you also don't run into the risk that is accidentally playing a flush five when you wanted to play 5oak

i see that as being part of the planet scaling, but yeah i should've clarified

[iron vigil]

i think that's the scaling too

[ebon maple]

Oh ok

I liked 5oak more due to enhancments and higher base but yeah

Could go both ways

[iron vigil]

that's true

[terse vale]

honestly 5oak isn’t needed for jokerless

[ancient gyro]

as with most poker hands

[fickle mesa]

im stupid i meant saturn

[shell dagger]

ante 4 rental pants yes please

[willow frost]

fire lol

[dim thicket]

today is the perfect day to try and gold sticker lusty joker

too bad i ahve to do a bunch of assignments first 😭

[sharp junco]

are u serious

[little stirrup]

[opal canopy]

Blue stake abandoned deck is this a good play?

[sharp junco]

the only thing that can ruin your run is picking up an eternal paradolia so yeah

[opal canopy]

Now do I take eternal flash card?

[ebon maple]

I am so tired of nebula deck

[sharp junco]

you already have 2 flat mult jokers, it's not needed but if you have stable econ its way better than ride the bus

[pastel pagoda]

So is it a trib or a baron build?

[ancient gyro]

way better is a stretch

[sharp junco]

Yes

[sharp junco]

only if you got sum money flowing in

cuz rtb is limited by your hands but theres no realistic money cap :P

[ancient gyro]

this logic is not properly reflected upon practice

[opal canopy]

My Econ is one hand and prayers

[sharp junco]

It insists upon itself

[opal canopy]

Eternal blue ?

[sharp junco]

then stick with ride the bus cuz youre on abandoned

not much to mess up

[sharp junco]

the chips one? 😭

[opal canopy]

Ja

[sharp junco]

you have a big chance of it just coming back without the eternal sticker

its a common

take it if you really need it

[opal canopy]

Uh this will only go so far with no xmult

So ima pray

[ancient gyro]

you'd be surprised how far those two flat mult scalers go without other support

[sharp junco]

ante 4

[shell dagger]

im so dead to needle

[opal canopy]

Yeah this run doesn’t have a shot in ante 4

[tender bone]

i just beat red stake black deck and its actually hell

why is this deck a thjing

[sharp junco]

it took me like 10 losses to beat it on white stake but gold stake was done in 1 try

some seeds are just terrible

[shell dagger]

if I kept square I would’ve won

curse the plasma pivot truthers

[tender bone]

yeah u really need to find money at the start

[opal canopy]

Yeah I lost
No xmult

[sharp junco]

who knew -1 dollar at the end of every round cause of the -1 hand during the first antes would make me so broke 😭

[tender bone]

yeah it honestly matters a lot more than it should

[ancient gyro]

black deck truthers

[warm epoch]

should i sell dna for sock?

this is what my deck looks like rn( fucked up)

[shell dagger]

sold square on my last black deck run too (2pair was at level 30)

[opal canopy]

Can yall help me out with blue stake

[ancient gyro]

I usually just play pairs and unconditional scoring

[warm epoch]

please tell anyone

[sharp junco]

spamming pairs is very cool until you score 59998 on a 60000 needle like i did 20 minutes ago

will i stop mercurybelieving?

No

mercurychads vs flushfoids

[warm epoch]

i think i will sell dna

[sharp junco]

okay taking 3 eternals wasnt worth it now i cant scale my wee faster

[shell dagger]

the gsg will continue

glory to ramen

lol nvm vessel

[sharp junco]

luchador after 1 reroll trust

negative too

[opal canopy]

I need help with first 2 antes blue stake

[shell dagger]

I threw even before vessel

Didn’t order jokers correctly

[ancient gyro]

genius

[shell dagger]

ok discord

[sullen aspen]

stm??

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[opal canopy]

Blue stake is actually the bane of my existence

[cloud saffron]

black stake is the comfort stake

[robust lance]

"Our brains are SHRINKING!" ass build bro

this is ruining my stats bro

[sharp junco]

okay i think this is ruined by me sucking at the omelette

i started this profile like a month ago

[ancient gyro]

ignorance is bliss

[sharp junco]

cuz i ruined my first profile by winning some gold stickers while i was playing modded so it wasnt a fair c++

[last path]

totally unserious gold stake run.

[robust lance]

made it worse

[sharp junco]

holy chips 💔

[robust lance]

honestly an arrowhead carry

[sharp junco]

joker lineup lookin like

[robust lance]

they call me the hydrogen bomb

the way i cheated

[opal canopy]

This run is so cursed

[sharp junco]

my run was just saved by a +20 mult lucky card high card hit praise to balala gods

[ancient gyro]

i heard interest is a cool feature

[obtuse shuttle]

Is so crazy that run

[opal canopy]

4 XMULT JOKERS

[patent sail]

Who ate all the interest money

[delicate tide]

What is this

[opal canopy]

Blue print and card sharp

[haughty mortar]

what do i do ;-;

[patent sail]

You get 1 doller per every 5 dollars in the bank at the end of the round

[haughty mortar]

this is my best run ever

[robust lance]

sell a brainstorm

[patent sail]

5 max by default but can be increased to 20

[haughty mortar]

thanks

❤️

[keen radish]

Higher stakes simply produce less cards that form hands you are building for, and it can tell what your building for

That’s just how it is

That’s my theory

There’s no way it doesn’t

[toxic scaffold]

Fyi you had a free Joker slot. In the future if you see the boss blind is this, but a cheap forgettable joker so you can sell it

[sharp junco]

only thing the higher stakes do for me is mess up my draws, i never really have any issues with joker stickers

which maybe tells me my deck fixing is my weakness

[fickle mesa]

probably sell the non negative brainstorm

[keen radish]

That’s exactly what I mean

[haughty mortar]

i solled the non negative

[sharp junco]

which is why pairs win gold stake so much, you can always draw a pair

[fickle mesa]

actually wait it can be negative or not it doesnt matter

[opal canopy]

Uhh guys

This pair build might be op

[fickle mesa]

its more like "worse econ = less tarots = less complex hands"

[sharp junco]

this run is held together by tape and cardboard bro

[fickle mesa]

same for -1 discard

[sharp junco]

1 bad hand draw and its over

[keen radish]

I wouldn’t call 2 pair a complex hand but

[brave goblet]

Hologram on ghost deck is so braindead lmao

[sharp junco]

1 incantation and you gain an entire x1

[brave goblet]

Fr

[cosmic sun]

two pair is forgiven because of pants and obelisk

[sharp junco]

scoring above 1.2m rn but i know ill die to violet vessel

[vestal copper]

nvm

[ancient gyro]

fr

[sharp junco]

nvm im saved

[hidden lance]

accidentally reset the bus at ante 5. couldnt even save scum in time

[sharp junco]

acrobat wasnt even needed a single time it was just ruining my joker slots by being unsellable

[vocal rose]

ffs

[robust lance]

relax, you'll handle it.

[sullen aspen]

holy double poly blueprint

[ancient gyro]

thankfully didn't plunder my stats 😓

[rugged bloom]

thank you riff-raff...

[ancient gyro]

never miss a 2 2oak draw

[vocal rose]

i hate this game

[ancient gyro]

zamn

i avenged you

[twin lantern]

grimbo theory

[vestal copper]

grimbo for the winbo

[rugged bloom]

how're ya supposed to win gold stake plasma deck

"Chips then x mult" i fucking know

what jokers will be good

[waxen quartz]

photo chad, trib probably easiest

[ancient gyro]

chips, planets, money, 2 pairs, retriggers (optional)

[vestal copper]

hiker seltzer

[hidden lance]

okay i was able to save scum. my god this was a nasty run not in a good way

[ancient gyro]

something like this #🕹・game-discussion message

[waxen quartz]

hmm. 2 3 of a kind hands at level 5 with 5 x3 jokers will do it

[rugged bloom]

are we on something

[ancient gyro]

peter what are you doing

[rugged bloom]

are we on something

[waxen quartz]

feels like a good start. but hitting good enough xmult jokers on gold stake might end in tears

[brave goblet]

hey you got a certificate, that's not fair

[ancient gyro]

and a different deck

lul

[waxen quartz]

playing 100 hands with square is good enough if you can copy it

(except violet)

[rugged bloom]

what if i keep adding cards

[hidden lance]

the humble 1.2x steel joker

[waxen quartz]

then you can't make a high value hand

[dreamy creek]

new roles cool

[rugged bloom]

stone cards

[ancient gyro]

not that it was ever meta anyways

[rugged bloom]

nevermind i failed

[ancient gyro]

oop

[hidden lance]

four fingers is so underrated. i love that guy

[rugged bloom]

I love being four fingered

[vestal copper]

all the gold stakers are going to murder you rn

[rugged bloom]

pretty useless on gold stake plasma deck

[hidden lance]

yeah the thumb is usually the tricky part

[dreamy creek]

i love four fingers

[waxen quartz]

plasma is auto-win for 5 antes. it's just what you can get in that time

investment skip, possibly rare skip very worth

[ancient gyro]

yeah xmult is far too conditional to consistently go for without other +/x mult sources (at least 2 more jokers) compared to chips via scaling jokers/planets or flat chips

[robust lance]

i know this is a modded deck and all but this is the closest thing to being able to play challenge deck on red stake and up because who would actually skip

[ancient gyro]

me when I lie

[waxen quartz]

xmult has the 2 commons that are good enough: photo+chad

[hidden lance]

ehh if you have runner it scales really fast even without it straights is one of the best scaling hands so you dont need a mult joker or chip joker

[waxen quartz]

and chad is just worth anyway

[opal canopy]

Holy

[ancient gyro]

I like to win all of my runs, not just the good ones

[opal canopy]

Easy ahh blue stake run

[vestal copper]

they are good but are they fun?

[waxen quartz]

but they're common jokers that just win. chad is fun, photo less so

[rugged bloom]

they're fun

[vestal copper]

photochad and fun in one sentence

[waxen quartz]

also there's def a reason balatro university starts his gold stake all deck speed runs with plasma

[ancient gyro]

the latter also gets indirectly nerfed on plasma

[rugged bloom]

lowkirkenuinely photochad is fun

[hidden lance]

its the hardest

that scaling is killer

[waxen quartz]

it's the swingiest. you get stuff that wins that deck or you don't

[rugged bloom]

it's the only deck where you can win the first two rounds on a two pair

and also the only one where you need to score 2.4 million to win

[ancient gyro]

it has the highest skill ceiling

[waxen quartz]

think it's really more a high-roll ceiling 🙂

[ancient gyro]

no you can still run win streaks on plasma rather frequently

[waxen quartz]

balancing chips and mult is the best scoring on other decks too. but going all in on one really limits the useful jokers

[rugged bloom]

technically speaking that's the optimal strategy on plasma

[waxen quartz]

(the going all in on one or other being how you win plasma)

[rugged bloom]

going all in on either chips or x mult

[uneven laurel]

Ayo got my first painted gold stake win with bread and butter

(also three of a kind build?)

[rugged bloom]

gonna use this combo to generate some value

[rugged bloom]

nice one

wait a second

is that photochad I see

[uneven laurel]

Ofc ofc

[ancient gyro]

don't open buffoon packs in a1 plasma as expected value is skewed against your favor early

[primal knoll]

And then die

[olive raptor]

Luckiest judgement pull? (It's the rightmost joker)

[primal knoll]

Oh wait it’s plasma mb

[plush lance]

What’s yall fav deck

[hidden lance]

ghost

[rugged bloom]

Charlie ffs can you be smarter

[primal knoll]

No 😭

[ancient gyro]

this one

[mighty flume]

ok... just 6 jokers more... and finally i can move out from freaking Nebula deck because i golded Astronomer. just missing:

• dusk
• loyalty card
• midas mask
• golden ticket
• bean
• seltzer

[primal knoll]

I don’t even know how I missed that I main plasma

[mighty flume]

C++ is so freaking close yet so far

[primal knoll]

Black deck?

[mighty flume]

no. C+ is the one of decks, and i already got all those. freaking ERRATIC was a nightmare for me.

C++ is the one of golded jokers, and im just missing 6

[brave goblet]

preach

erratic deck stinky

[opal canopy]

(Insert preaching here)

[cursive lion]

all roads lead to the baron mime build

[brave goblet]

[primal knoll]

Oh, i might get c++ before c+ then, I have nearly all gold stickers but only like 3 decks

[rugged bloom]

this build is all over the place and i'm about to make it even more all over the place

[brave goblet]

all in on wee

[cloud sinew]

your build is horrific

[opal canopy]

Should I go for erratic deck?

[brave goblet]

ante 4 is surely not too late

[rugged bloom]

i have a single 2

and i'll need to go all in on finding either hanging chad or hack tuah

[brave goblet]

cooked

[rugged bloom]

yeah it's not happening

[mighty flume]

there's NO WAY it is like that... or...

well, C+ is DECKS and C++ is JOKERS. so... in theory, you could get C++ before C+...

damm. thought C++ was "GET EVERYTHING IN GOLD, DECKS & JOKERS"

[hidden lance]

fair, i cant be bothered to play nebula or zodiac

[brave goblet]

yeah you can get C++ before C+

[rugged bloom]

C++ is jokers only

[brave goblet]

missing out on a lot of fun on zodiac

[hidden lance]

thats okay

[rugged bloom]

NO

[vagrant wagon]

What is a good deck to get only 20 cards left?

[rugged bloom]

I JUST ROLLED A BIT PAST THE WEE AND FOUND THE HACK

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[brave goblet]

zodiac

[rugged bloom]

Abandoned deck

[cursive lion]

should i

[rugged bloom]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

[brittle umbra]

Chat am I cooked ?

[brave goblet]

only perkeo would be a good hit here

[cursive lion]

looks inside

[hidden lance]

i havent played zodiac since i unlocked seeing double

[cursive lion]

lets find out

got trib

[wintry valley]

how are things lookin

[brave goblet]

zodiac deck ignorers don't know the joy of deck manipulation

[wintry valley]

peak ace build :3

[vagrant wagon]

And for what should i search then Hangend man or something else?

[brave goblet]

default 2 shop slots are ASS

[rugged bloom]

a trading card would be golden

[brave goblet]

trading card too

ye

[rugged bloom]

but yes zodiac deck is also not a bad option

thing with abandoned deck is that you start with 12 lesser cards

[brave goblet]

yeah but there are only 2 shop slots and no tarot voucher so you might not find the hanged men lol

[rugged bloom]

so instead of getting rid of 32 cards you need to only get rid of 20, which is a decrease of almost 50%

[hidden lance]

oh that was magic deck. wow i probably never played zodiac

[brave goblet]

lmfao

I play pretty much exclusively on zodiac

[cursive lion]

OH SHIT

[brave goblet]

goodbye steel

[vagrant wagon]

I try both options and see which is better

[cosmic sun]

A shop gave me Perkeo, Seeing, and Vaga

[rugged bloom]

what's that mod you got which shows you what's the future blinds in front of you?

[hidden lance]

magic deck is so pretty

[cursive lion]

unblind

copy one of each or both copy mime?

[rugged bloom]

what's the setup again?

[brave goblet]

one of ecah for scoring

copy mime if you're farming money probs

[brave goblet]

you really should find a rebate instead of parking lol

[cursive lion]

def

or find a showman or dna

[brave goblet]

money first

$2 is not gonna cut it

[rugged bloom]

this is fine for now

make a lot of gold cards right now

[brave goblet]

unenhanced kings 💔

[rugged bloom]

you need money if you're trying for a high score

[cloud sinew]

parking gives more money than rebate, it just relies on underscoring

steel makes parking give more money with mime which is funny

[rugged bloom]

lowkirkenuinely not a bad spit by riff-raff

would've been elite if this was a non-plasma deck

[brave goblet]

mult plasma run

it is foretold

[rugged bloom]

nope failed

can this work on plasma deck

[shell dagger]

Yeah

[ebon condor]

probably the strangest interaction in the entire game still

and yall DIDNT BELIEVE ME when i said this was a thing smh...

[cloud sinew]

who is yall

[ebon condor]

whoever it was who didnt believe me when i brought it up like 9 months ago

[cloud sinew]

"yall" and its just one person 😭

[ebon condor]

it was more than 1 person

[ancient gyro]

nine months ago i wasn't pregnant

[quick cloak]

wait rly

why does it do that

[ancient gyro]

resets the 1 in 2 proc chance for parking

[quick cloak]

ah

interesting

[cloud sinew]

mime retriggering parkin gonly works if something triggers on the card

[ancient gyro]

that silly goober

aka steel/stm/baron/fist

[cloud sinew]

so with just parking mime you get the 2nd 1/2 parking trigger only if parking triggers the first time

[tulip knot]

can someone help me beat yellow deck for the first time? (beginner) :)

[wicked moat]

I once again lost to The Mouth because I forgot about its ability and accidentally played a high card before my main hand

[plush lance]

Blessed magic seed

[rugged bloom]

It's very easy to confuse the eye and the mouth

I keep doing it while going down on my-

Actually nevermind

[rugged bloom]

What the hell are you running it on

[plush lance]

Wym

[rugged bloom]

Why's your monitor so blue

[plush lance]

Ion got pc I only got an Xbox 😔

[rugged bloom]

and i thought those were actual tarot cards behind your monitor

[cloud sinew]

being on a PC wouldnt change your monitor though lol

[plush lance]

Jus my camera is dirty

[cursive lion]

THIS IS BIG

[vagrant wagon]

Fuck you bp

[wicked moat]

If a glass card gets repeated, then its chance of breaking gets repeated too, right?

[fringe nebula]

no

[opal canopy]

Guys no black deck

[wicked moat]

Oh

[fringe nebula]

glass breaks after you score

[wicked moat]

I know but like if it gets played 3 times then after you score is its chance of breaking 3/4?

[cloud sinew]

no

it's just 1/4

[fringe nebula]

no

[wintry ice]

closer to 2 in 4

[wicked moat]

Oh ok, thanks

[wintry ice]

in total

the chance doesn't increment if that's what you were asking

[cloud sinew]

oh wait you're asking if you play it different times

yeah its 1/4 each time, the previous plays dont affect future plays besides if it was already broken ofc

[wicked moat]

Like if it has a red seal or you use hanging chad I mean

[cloud sinew]

no it's still just 1/4

[wicked moat]

👍

[wintry ice]

yea

[narrow scroll]

go flushes first ante (you can beat the boss blind with nothing if you play semi optimally)

[opal canopy]

Oh Ja zodiac deck is ghost deck

[narrow scroll]

oh wait my internet's bad that message was a while ago

[pale wolf]

balatro

[opal canopy]

Yo lilo

[pale wolf]

woah

its lilo

[cloud sinew]

hello

i am ill so im just feeling like observing balatro instead of playing it

[dusty valve]

Question, when playing abandoned deck, do you want to not get face cards in the deck?

[robust lance]

guess we can call you lillo (i fucking hate everything in my mental process)

[ancient gyro]

you can get whatever you want

[pale wolf]

you can if they're good enough

[cursive lion]

should i...

[opal canopy]

Uh I don’t but you do you

[pale wolf]

but not particularly face cards

[cursive lion]

trib? again? 💔

[pale wolf]

adding cards in general isnt ideal but if the card is good enough it outweighs

[dusty valve]

Ok

[ancient gyro]

they don't necessarily harm anything unless otherwise stated from my current joker roster

[opal canopy]

I’m assuming the game gave you the deck now

[robust lance]

holy crap natty neg

[cursive lion]

probably take this for some base chips

[dusty valve]

Yea. I’m still learning this deck

[opal canopy]

I beat blue stake w it

[fringe nebula]

depends on your build

you could take face card that has blue seal on it

or face cards with purple or gold seal

[dusty valve]

Ah ok

So aside from that stay away from face cards

[opal canopy]

Ja

[dusty valve]

Any jokers I should be looking for in specific?

[opal canopy]

Ride bus green joker,

Any card like hack and even Steven

[dusty valve]

These are my current jokers

Once I get enough good jokers I’m selling the tarot card joker

[robust lance]

im gonna die before ante 8 🔥🔥🔥

[opal canopy]

Odd jokers buttt

[dusty valve]

It’s what the game has given me via packs and the skips

[robust lance]

rerolled once and immediately bought photograph

[dusty valve]

I’ll take what I can get

[robust lance]

now i know why my stats are like THIS (i cropped out swash)

nightmare blunt rotaation

what is WRONG WITH ME

[patent sail]

Proud haver of no photo OR chad in my jokers top 10

[opal canopy]

Ja same

I don’t even think I’ve used em once

[patent sail]

I mean i certainly have at some point but i domt think i got them together a single time

[dusty valve]

My jokers have been…slightly fixed

Should blueprint copy hanging chad or the abstract joker

[patent sail]

Why not copy the ancient? Not doing flushes?

[dusty valve]

I am, I’ve actually been playing a lot of those

I just forget to look at the suit it needs

😭

[opal canopy]

LOOK AT IT

[patent sail]

I was about to mention a mod but youre on mobile

[dusty valve]

Yea

[opal canopy]

OR IM GONNA SPAM@ you

[robust lance]

"pick me pick me!"

FINE.

canio

[patent sail]

Temperance

[dusty valve]

It’s spades

[robust lance]

dude i have enough money for now

[patent sail]

Free 10 bucks

[dusty valve]

I can’t discard anything so it’s not like I can discard to get more spades

[robust lance]

its already at x3

[patent sail]

Legendary is cool but 10 bucks is 10 bucks (fuck canio)

[robust lance]

x5

[patent sail]

Canio is good but he pisses me off

[fickle mesa]

use your hands as discards

[patent sail]

I got him 4 whole times and all 4 he ate all hanged men in the shop so i fucking died with him next ante

[dusty valve]

Should I skip🤔

[opal canopy]

No

[dusty valve]

Understandable

[patent sail]

4th time i sold him for walkie talkie 😭

[gentle wedge]

what are we thinking chat

[patent sail]

Gay pants no way

[opal canopy]

Poly pants

[patent sail]

Gay pants any day

[gentle wedge]

oke gay polyamorous pant

[robust lance]

all in on banana

[opal canopy]

2 pair time

[dusty valve]

This should work🤔

[obtuse shuttle]

Yes... I DID IT

[gentle wedge]

two paireriño

[dusty valve]

Especially since

Darn😭

[obtuse shuttle]

NAN

[obtuse shuttle]

good luck! you can do it

[dusty valve]

JESUS CHIRST

FROM A SINGLE FLUSH OF CLUBS

[robust lance]

know this is a modded deck and whatever but this made me learn about a real card game

now i'll shush about it

[shell dagger]

the power of repeated multiplication

[dusty valve]

Yea no kidding

Oh no, what ever shall I do

[rich mauve]

cool

[dusty valve]

(Sarcasm if you couldn’t tell)

[opal canopy]

Check ancient jokey boi

[dusty valve]

Simon’s

Diamond*

[opal canopy]

How did diamond be Simon

[dusty valve]

Readjusting my cards

[opal canopy]

Hehe boi

[tender sphinx]

where should i put blueprint

[dusty valve]

I misspelled diamonds

[fringe nebula]

baron

[dusty valve]

Hanging Chad🤷🏻

[opal canopy]

Chad

[dusty valve]

HOLY

[wraith slate]

imma crash out why is the negative bean here 😭

[cloud sinew]

this is way too strong

[opal canopy]

Take it

[robust lance]

like you

[wraith slate]

already rolled and this is what I found in the next roll lmao

[cloud sinew]

removing 20 cards vs 12, its an even stronger abandoned deck

[ancient gyro]

while leaving up face card econ options

[robust lance]

i got a "a little bit of this and a little bit of that" type shit going on

(it sucks)

played a throwaway hand of queens and eights and thought "why didnt i move the 8" but i still got a tarot

[dusty valve]

HOLY!!!!! THIS DECK IS OVER POWERED

[obtuse shuttle]

:)

[dusty valve]

THAT OR ITS JUST MY JOKER LUCK

[opal canopy]

It’s ur luck

[robust lance]

erm ashually luck doesnt exeesy

[dusty valve]

I figured but still

[fickle mesa]

yeah thats just what blueprint chad and ancient joker would do for you

[opal canopy]

SHUSHHHHH

[fickle mesa]

get you a whole lotta points

[dusty valve]

I have never seen this many chips on my screen ever

[fickle mesa]

not that it really matters

[dusty valve]

Why couldn’t you have been a more useful joker

[fickle mesa]

the game peaks at 1.2 million

[robust lance]

dude this banana has survived like 10 rounds

[fickle mesa]

? this is incredibly powerful

[dusty valve]

Oh no, it is, but I’m playing Abandoned deck

I have no face cards

[ancient gyro]

what's stopping you from

[robust lance]

it immediately died after i said this

[fickle mesa]

oh right, why not use strength then

you only need one for each suit

i mean you win either way is the fun part

[dusty valve]

Fair

[fickle mesa]

ig u wanna save ur money

[dusty valve]

And it’s a negative so it’s fine

[fickle mesa]

to be able to roll into options that can help defeat hard bosses

[dusty valve]

Idk, I could use more tarots

[dusty valve]

Oh…I havnt bought that voucher in this run…or…any run😅

[fickle mesa]

thats not what i mean

[dusty valve]

Oh

[fickle mesa]

i mean rolling into useful cards that can help you beat the hard bosses

[dusty valve]

Ah yea

[fickle mesa]

like if you're against the no discards boss, finding a suit changer to use in emergencies so that you can make a flush no matter what

[dusty valve]

Like a spectral card?

Or one of those tarots?

[robust lance]

i could either sell invis or get a red sticker for it

copied the one i wanted

[rich mauve]

insane

now do it with

[ancient gyro]

something like this

[dusty valve]

What about buying this one? It’s not the best sure, but having a guaranteed x10 mult every round is useful

But if I were to buy it what joker would be good to replace

Misprint?

[rich mauve]

misprint

[cloud sinew]

none

-$7 for a useless joker, just dont take it

[dusty valve]

What kind of queen do you have?

[dusty valve]

Ok

[ancient gyro]

queen of spades

[cloud sinew]

your scoring comes from on-score xmult, +mult basically doesnt matter here

[dusty valve]

Ah, it’s just looking weird so I was curious

[ancient gyro]

who knew lying could be this easy

oop

[pale wolf]

10 streaks

[dusty valve]

I’m fairly gullible it’s fine

[ancient gyro]

canonically you've never gone past 3

[pale wolf]

no i got 5

i did that

[ancient gyro]

sorry that's where I stopped listening

[wicked moat]

Finally got one of the 2 jokers I need to sticker, and my checkered deck flush run was going good, had a high level flush and I had just gotten Card Sharp, and then I hit The Eye..... so cruel

[pale wolf]

i play mount and blade

[rich mauve]

guys

why is leveling flush up so annoying

🥀

[cyan briar]

once i got level 30 flush with burning and some blueprints and brainstorms

[wintry valley]

:3333

[rich mauve]

bro

[wintry valley]

it's soo tempting

[rich mauve]

this is like the 3rd same image

[rancid gull]

Now if you sell it you get two double tags

You have to sell the blueprint first though

[robust lance]

you're gonna get two colas

[wintry valley]

oh boy that sounds soo worth it

[cyan briar]

i might have dementia

[rancid gull]

The blueprint will reappear as a negative tag skip trust

[rich mauve]

you might have

3 times in an hour is concerning

( wording btw)

[rancid gull]

I think bro just wants to show his amazing achievements

[jolly relic]

eating croissant

[rancid gull]

He sold the blueprint…

[wintry valley]

cmon it was worth it :D

[rancid gull]

50 dollars, don’t spend it all in one place

[wintry valley]

uhuh

OH MY GOODNESS AGAIN

[dusty valve]

I’m gonna lose😭😭

Here is no hand here that could possibly save me

[dark cairn]

Got another 4 gold stickers in one run

[jolly relic]

2 croissants devoured

[dusty valve]

Unless someone sees something

[crude fiber]

Yo does having 4 stuntman jokers reduce number of hands?

[sullen aspen]

straight?

[dark cairn]

zany joker, egg, bootstraps, and showman

[rich mauve]

not even straight with spade as first card?
