[narrow scroll]

[vestal copper]

[narrow scroll]

[vestal copper]

[deft sandal]

you didn't throwback hard enough

[lament condor]

LOOK AT ITTTTTT

LOOK AT ITTTTTTTTTTTT

BALATRO IS MINEEEEEE

[patent sail]

now plasma

[lament condor]

been there done that

[deft sandal]

Now do it

[patent sail]

insanity

even nebula?

[sullen aspen]

id say nebula is way easier than people make it out to be

minus one consumable slot is a pain in the ass dont get me wrong

[patent sail]

i never tried it so what would i know

its one of those decks that kinda exists and i never really remember about it

[sullen aspen]

but idk I didnt find it particularly difficult

[patent sail]

the other is green

[subtle drum]

i'm currently suffering thru nebula deck orange stake

🫃

[patent sail]

gl with gold 🥹

[subtle drum]

fr

[lament condor]

green nebula anaglyph and erratic i haven't done yet

[eager summit]

imma need to use this seed on checkered

[lament condor]

anaglyph seems the easiest of the bunch

[subtle drum]

probably

i love anaglyph deck

[glossy mortar]

I just got Trib while doing photochad and it’s made me realize. Isn’t Trib just a worse version of photograph?

[patent sail]

nebula might be pain, the rest are perfectly fine

[subtle drum]

😌❤️‍🩹

[patent sail]

no its not?? its like idol but less picky

[subtle drum]

burger king foot lettuce ahh voice

[glossy mortar]

Like photograph works on all face cards, not just queens and kings. So it feels worse.

[eager summit]

don't you mean better

[glossy mortar]

Plus if you use pareidolia that works with photograph, but that wont work with trib.

[subtle drum]

nope

[patent sail]

dont get me wrong its like

not the best for a legendary

but its really good for what it is

[lament condor]

we left hoopify in 2024

[eager summit]

it works on the first played face card

[vestal copper]

fym worse 😭

[patent sail]

photo is 1 base trigger, trib is 5 base triggers

[eager summit]

trib works on all played queens and kings from my understanding

trib is better photo

[patent sail]

dw its amphy

[vestal copper]

oh its bait

[subtle drum]

cold

[vestal copper]

yeah checks out

[eager summit]

ah

[glossy mortar]

Yeah but photo works on all face cards. Not just kings and queens. Meaning you can do it to any card. So unless you were playing 3+oak, it’s worse.

[tired silo]

💀 ngl the legendary cards in this game arent even good before ante 12

[subtle drum]

ight imma go play fortnite cya

[glossy mortar]

I mean. They are good. But honestly they should all be better.

[subtle drum]

love y'all

[subtle drum]

xoxo

[patent sail]

??? yorick??

[patent sail]

chicot??

[glossy mortar]

Like getting a legendary should be special. However it really feels like they are just 50/50 on if they help when you get them.

[vestal copper]

yeah this is double bait

all legendarys are broken fym 😭

[glossy mortar]

Though if you get them early enough. You can build around them, and it very well could get you an easy win.

[tired silo]

nah bro the X2 pair card is better before a later ante

[eager summit]

procs only on the first one tho so only if you're doing highcard is photo better

[patent sail]

twin you aint always gonna have chad with photo, plus who even does pairs with trib? and even then 4x is 4x

[patent sail]

ts bait chat

[vestal copper]

yorick starts doing the same as it after 3 rounds buddy

[tired silo]

After

[vestal copper]

well bruh

[patent sail]

yorick is literally free xmult that essentially unconditionally grow as you play

that is unless youre running burger or green joker

[vestal copper]

there are a lot of ways to cut that down

[weak relic]

8 left

[narrow scroll]

i think i'd rather have a pair card instead of a yorick at ante 39

[vestal copper]

and also yeah

this chat is full of baiters today 💔

[patent sail]

the space build

[pure pike]

First attempt in gold stake and its so close :<

[patent sail]

might honestly just be skill issue takes

[vestal copper]

true

[weak relic]

[shy hound]

Should I sell ballot?

[patent sail]

like when i started playing i DEADASS thought mail in rebate is eh

i literally had no knowledge of what econ can do and just went for "i see big number thats big right away, i take"

[deft sandal]

this run do be just "stuff"

[patent sail]

the random assortment of whatever

[vestal copper]

jus random bullshit

at least pants

[patent sail]

"little bit of this and a little bit of that" build

[deft sandal]

pants carrying ngl

[somber barn]

Miscellaneous seasonings

[lavish gazelle]

Haha pants scaling go brr

[patent sail]

flower pot is my favorite scaling xmult

[deft sandal]

pants is in my top 10 lol

[patent sail]

gains 0 mult per nothing

[patent sail]

ima look at mine rn

[lavish gazelle]

Abstract is my most taken joker

[patent sail]

also bluestorm 🎀🎀 they are kissing omg

[wicked moat]

How do you get enough Blueprints and Brainstorms that they're in your top 3

[weak relic]

Stinky joker

[wicked moat]

I find one of those like once every 50 games

[narrow scroll]

valid?

[patent sail]

probably

[patent sail]

i like discards more cuz they make me feel safe

[floral mural]

yeah there isnt any terrible voucher here

its finr

its all good vouchers

god i lack any motivation to actually play balatro now

[lavish gazelle]

I'm starting to think my blank vouchers actually do nothing I haven't seen Antimatter in months

[floral mural]

thats why i call it a wast of 10 dollars in gold stake personally

not worth the investment for something that wont help you win

[deft sandal]

if someone has planet merchant/tarot merchant in the top 10 vouchers, that is a psycho

[floral mural]

in any way

[patent sail]

tarot isnt even bad, planet though...

yeah

[deft sandal]

the only time I would pick up planet one is for constellation

[floral mural]

even tarotis questionable because theres a lot more generic good vouchers than mediocre situational one

magic trick is similarly awful

[void girder]

its joever...

[deft sandal]

if illusion is fixed, it might not be that bad

[patent sail]

i mean im way more inclined to take tarot merchant than planet merchant personally

[weak relic]

Where xmult

[void girder]

?

[patent sail]

i have a funny top 10

[deft sandal]

spongebob build

[patent sail]

i love square so much

[lavish gazelle]

Hey Patrick, wanna see my joker synergy in Balatro

[patent sail]

really now

[deft sandal]

they love photochad, you cant say f them

[patent sail]

photochad is obviously the bad word here

shouldve censored that one, sorry

[deft sandal]

can i not type fuck?

[void girder]

wym by xmult

[patent sail]

i cant apparently

maybe its bad only in all caps

ill see

FUCK photo

no?

wow

[deft sandal]

lmao

[patent sail]

maybe its just caps

[patent sail]

x3 for example

multiplicative

[lavish gazelle]

It hurts the feelings of Photo and Chad I guess

[patent sail]

chad is fine photo get out of here

[deft sandal]

Im doing flush house build with pants lmao

[void girder]

does spare trousers count?

[patent sail]

thats additive

+mult

[void girder]

oh

[weak relic]

How did you spend your entire game not finding any xmults like hologram or blackboard

[patent sail]

xmult is multiplication

[void girder]

idk

[lament condor]

photochad

[wicked moat]

I did it yall. My 2nd to last boss was The Ox and I had 3 rentals so I skipped the small and big blind in ante 8 but I made it.
C++ baby

[weak relic]

Nice

I only have 8 jokers left

[patent sail]

environmental storytelling

[deft sandal]

just a ghost deck player

[patent sail]

my first gold stake

[deft sandal]

I be flushing like it's the toilet

[void girder]

im gonna try again with this knowledge

[deft sandal]

these deja vu must be from all the naneinf attempt

[patent sail]

xmult is super important

[deft sandal]

nat neg odd todd

"throw it in the pile" -roffle

[patent sail]

its funny how hex being one of the worst spectrals most of the time becomes one of the top 10 just cuz ghost deck exists

[weak relic]

My top 10 is very disgusting, yeah

[deft sandal]

that's crazy, i couldn't find the hearts

[somber barn]

Checks out. V-Day ends and all the love is gone

Tragic

[patent sail]

what did i say about discards

im a pathological discardmaxxer

[somber barn]

This run was strange but somehow worked

[patent sail]

build is just stuff

[somber barn]

New run on phone, didn't have much unlocked

[patent sail]

yeah no its fine

[somber barn]

And RNGesus don't like me

[night bridge]

Build running on chips and hopes, props to you for making it work

[sleek agate]

most difficult yellow stake start

[somber barn]

Doubled down on enhanced and planet cards, hanging Chad saved me

[patent sail]

my first orange stake win was with a build thats like 5 random xmults and then castle for chips 😭

[somber barn]

Absolutely mint

[patent sail]

yeah no ima go for yellow deck as 4th gold stake

[night bridge]

Which ones have you done so far

[patent sail]

ghost, abandoned, red

just the easy ones

[night bridge]

I bet abandoned was a fun build

[patent sail]

abandoned gold was won in the most canonically accurate way possible

straights build 🎉🎉 (my one and only)

[night bridge]

Runner my beloved

[patent sail]

though ante 7 it did give me a heart attack because game was like

"you know what would be really funny? not drawing a single 6 until the very last hand"

[night bridge]

Balatro when i need a Jack to finish a straight

"Would you perhaps like another Queen?"

[somber barn]

Balatro when I need an ace for yet another scholar run:

"Best I can do is a 2, buddy"

[patent sail]

usually that but 10s

[lament condor]

gasp

[sullen aspen]

yay black deck gold stake done

[patent sail]

never

he made a statement so outrageous they kicked him out of the university

[teal thunder]

do i take the nat negative madness

[patent sail]

ante 2

doable

[teal thunder]

just gotta pray it doesnt snipe my rebate

[lament condor]

noooooo

absolutely not

[patent sail]

??

we here LOVE madness

[lament condor]

not only is it 12 dollars (when you're already VERY stable on money) it can snipe literally anything

0 eternals

[patent sail]

okay but like 1.5x right away, i bet 1.5x is useful rn

[lament condor]

ramen already gives 2.0x

[worthy atlas]

ante three antimatter

[patent sail]

unless they are into boss then it will do nothing

[lament condor]

vampire is xMult too

[patent sail]

vampire tho

i would pick it ngl

[lament condor]

ok what if it hits ramen or that rebate

taking it basically loses you the game if im gonna be honest

[patent sail]

well losing ramen is still fine cuz madness will be 1.5x AND will become 2x later and they wont die because of that on ante 2 i believe

[wanton briar]

"Play only one hand"

my one duplicated holographic Buglar:

[lament condor]

still doesn't take away from the fact that you

1. can't chooose what it eats, might as well sell your entire roster if you take it
2. lose interest
3. doesn't give you anything right away

[sullen aspen]

no😭

[lament condor]

if you take it you lose the game its as simple as that

[patent sail]

i would still do it icl

[lament condor]

loss by ante 3

[patent sail]

humble restart

[sullen aspen]

if it snipes either rebate or Ramen he losses yk that right

[patent sail]

i believe 1.5x instead of 2x on ante 2 is still fine

i see madness before ante 3 i take

[lament condor]

i think 9/10 times you don't take the madness

[patent sail]

i mean yall probably know better anyway

[lament condor]

unless you magically get the greatest eternal jokers its gonna kill you

[patent sail]

but i would 100% take it

[teal thunder]

ONG

[patent sail]

in fact the reason i dont take it ante 1 sometimes is because i just cant afford it

[teal thunder]

madness my goat

[sullen aspen]

either that or u deck fix for something that has good flat mult

[teal thunder]

on black stake and above, madness is really damn good if you get it early

[sullen aspen]

if u dont get either its a wrap

[primal sable]

if i use these on these aces what will be removed

[lament condor]

blind leading the blind

[primal sable]

cause i dont wanna lose my shiny

[patent sail]

wdym

[sullen aspen]

steel and glass will get removed

[teal thunder]

do they know

[primal sable]

noooo

[lament condor]

you don't lose the shiny you lose the enhancement

[primal sable]

i gotta get seals 🦭 on them how i get those

[lament condor]

the shiny is seperate from the enhancement

[patent sail]

spectrals

[primal sable]

i think i want the steel cause it gives me 1.5x

[lament condor]

spectral pack or six pennies

[primal sable]

thx

[primal sable]

what does 6 pennies mean

[patent sail]

sixth sense

[lament condor]

0.06$

el seis

[patent sail]

if first hand of the round is a single 6, destroys it and makes a random spectral

[primal sable]

ohh

[lament condor]

the big 6

[teal thunder]

vampire survived until ante 5, and after he got kirked by madness i managed to survive until the big blind of ante 8 where i somehow didnt draw my hands and died 🥀

[lament condor]

the north carolina 76 cents

[primal sable]

people always say spectral packs are good i get nothing but trash

[lament condor]

what did i say

[patent sail]

or you can find sealed cards in standard packs

[sullen aspen]

they all have their own use case

[teal thunder]

i didnt die because i took madness, i died because i couldnt draw my hand

[patent sail]

what you said wasnt really related to how they died tho

[teal thunder]

different problems

[primal sable]

this is what i get

[lament condor]

they still died

[teal thunder]

immolate

[sullen aspen]

immolate is the best one

[patent sail]

IMMOLATE HELL YES

[sullen aspen]

yk that right

[lament condor]

IMMOLATE

[patent sail]

light em up

[lament condor]

LIGHT EM UP

[teal thunder]

deck fixing + money

[lament condor]

BURN THEM

[sullen aspen]

20 dollars and deck fix

[sullen aspen]

exactly

[primal sable]

wdym

[teal thunder]

crazy

[primal sable]

it will just remove all my aces

[lunar zealot]

There is never a reason not to click immolate here under any circumstance

[teal thunder]

we on the same freakquency

[patent sail]

when i started playing i was so scared of deleting my cards

[lunar zealot]

Name 1 reason not to click immolate

[sullen aspen]

never say that shit again

[patent sail]

drew entire hand of your best cards?

[lunar zealot]

Big whoop use the money you got to death them again

[sullen aspen]

20 dollars is 20 dollars

[primal sable]

cause i have 70 cards and my best cards are in my hand

[sullen aspen]

u have

dna

😭😭

[teal thunder]

ive talked to u like one time total my dude

[patent sail]

me when i get canio twice

[sullen aspen]

and brainstorm

[lament condor]

@teal thunder on lampy's soul twizzy is playing hard to get

[lunar zealot]

Your best cards are holographic aces of spades and you have bus and hologram

You don't need cards

[sullen aspen]

k

[lunar zealot]

literally you can play pairs and win here

[primal sable]

is that bad i clicked it cause it was shiny

[teal thunder]

k

[sullen aspen]

no

it pairs well with hologram

[primal sable]

oh

[lunar zealot]

Click immolate

[patent sail]

and i know he is strong

but i fucking hate him what is his problem

[teal thunder]

omg brb i think my vinyl arrived

[primal sable]

ok

[sullen aspen]

literally one of the best jokers

trading card

immolate

hanged man

[patent sail]

last time i had him i sold him to buy walkie talkie

[sullen aspen]

all scale him

[lament condor]

why the hell is canio getting hate

[primal sable]

is my deck trash

[lament condor]

canio is top 10 jokers

[teal thunder]

HELL YEAH my stankonia vinyl arrived

[sullen aspen]

holy scholar build

[primal sable]

im trying to get 100 cards

[teal thunder]

my collection grows

[primal sable]

what does that mean

[lament condor]

drspectred reference

[teal thunder]

nah thats goated

[sullen aspen]

scholar joker

[patent sail]

all 4 times i had him he didnt scale literally AT ALL bro just eats all means of cards destruction as soon as he spawns

[sullen aspen]

tho id copy the purple seals

[primal sable]

i dont got that one

[sullen aspen]

tarot cards are so useful

[primal sable]

also how can i improve my jokers

[lament condor]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm this does seem like an issue with the skill

[primal sable]

and should i be copying that guy

[lament condor]

when using DNA copy him then move the hologram and copy that

[teal thunder]

how much mult is on ride the bus

[patent sail]

i shall find my screenshot where i sold him for a walkie talkie

[primal sable]

oh shoot that makes sense

[lament condor]

at least 3

[sullen aspen]

bit of a stretch

[primal sable]

is this good

[teal thunder]

its decent

but with the dna and hologram, youve got a way better source of xmult

id say you dont need the bus

[primal sable]

ok

[sullen aspen]

bus goes for any econ/tarot generation

[primal sable]

that one card on the left is x6

[sullen aspen]

even cartomancer

[primal sable]

oh shoot i didnt check in a while its x8.25 now

[teal thunder]

yeah exactly

dna + holo is so goated

[primal sable]

nice

so what joker should i be looking to replace the bus

like a one that copies

the blue guy

[teal thunder]

as long as you can remember to copy dna when you need to, this should be an easy win

[teal thunder]

blueprint is def one you should look out for

[primal sable]

i already one im trying to beat high score

won

[teal thunder]

free win

[lament condor]

canio of doom and despair

[primal sable]

what does the white clown do

[teal thunder]

+1x everytime a face card dies

[patent sail]

when i get him, nothing

[primal sable]

oh i dont think i have that one

[teal thunder]

ye its a legendary joker

you can only get it from souls

[lament condor]

the problem is that its ante 2 on blue stake ashy dies most of the time if they don't sell canio

[primal sable]

so should i DNA the 2 with the purple seal or keep dna my steel aces

[patent sail]

and im not even arguing he is the Top 10, i know he is strong as hell, i just dislike him

[wanton briar]

i was SO FUCKING CLOSE GOD DAMMIT

I forgot to use brainstorm to double my extra hands with my two burglars by 3x

[teal thunder]

purple seals have a damn lotta value

id say copy it where possible

[night bridge]

-12 gold is interesting

[teal thunder]

but try to keep enough glass aces to play your hands

[wanton briar]

yeah its because i got put in debt by the tooth

[primal sable]

oh ive been copying the steel ones not the glass oops

[patent sail]

we ALL hate the tooth

[teal thunder]

ante 2 antimatter wtf

[primal sable]

i actually couldve had x20 if i was using copy on the dna

[patent sail]

always gamble

[teal thunder]

i love gambling

[patent sail]

hell yea

[lament condor]

better question where did you get the money for swash egg square and blank and still have 10 bucks left over

[teal thunder]

steel is pretty good as well, but usually glass is better, unless you have a mime

[teal thunder]

yellow deck

[patent sail]

yellow deck?

[night bridge]

Yellow deck

[lament condor]

yellow deck can't be THAT strong

[patent sail]

IT IS

10 bucks at the start is huge

[night bridge]

Money is power

[teal thunder]

how do you keep your pants up when you're performing its amazing. "belt"

[lament condor]

i beat it gold stake but i forgot how it felt to play it

[teal thunder]

yellow deck, ghost deck, and plasma are imo the top 3

[ebon condor]

PLASMA???

[patent sail]

isnt plasma tough on gold

[ebon condor]

XECUSE ME

actually wild take gave me whiplash

[lament condor]

YELLOW ABOVE ABANDONED?

[primal sable]

is the grim good

[night bridge]

Abandoned is fun I always end up with crazy builds

[patent sail]

most of the time is meh

[lament condor]

oh hell no im not hearing this take out

[teal thunder]

the start can be, but once you get past that you can get some pretty fun runs

[primal sable]

i didnt know you could get a spectral in a normal pack this must be rare

[patent sail]

unless youre feeding hologram

[teal thunder]

what vouchers do you have?

[night bridge]

Voucher

[ebon condor]

anyways top 3 prolly yellow blue and then ghost/abandoned

[lament condor]

abandoned is top 2 decks

[night bridge]

Unless is a soul

[patent sail]

omen globe vpucher

[teal thunder]

or blackhole

[ebon condor]

checkered and zodiac follow behind prolly

[patent sail]

yesh omen globe

[night bridge]

Omen globe indeed

[teal thunder]

ye omen globe 🙏

[primal sable]

also whenver i see that eyeball one on the botton should i get it idk if its worth

[lament condor]

ghost abandoned and plasma/blue if this ain't your top 3 its wrong

[patent sail]

depends a lot

[primal sable]

oh

[ebon condor]

WHY DO YOU ALL LIKE PLASMA

[night bridge]

Good early skip, not much helpful late run

[lament condor]

high score runs

[ebon condor]

HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER PLAYED THE DECK

[shell dagger]

top 3 for what

[lament condor]

decks

[shell dagger]

no shit man

[patent sail]

i dont ❤️‍🩹 its good for high scores but not for ante 8

[shell dagger]

doing what in balatro

white stake? gold stake?

[lament condor]

in general

[teal thunder]

the world is gifting me a banana

[shell dagger]

not bothered then

[night bridge]

Plasma white stake my beloved
Plasma gold stake hell itself

[patent sail]

as soon as i pick rtb all standard packs are full of face cards

[primal sable]

which one is better

[teal thunder]

BANAN DIES IMMEDIATELY

[shell dagger]

trance

[patent sail]

dream

[night bridge]

Trance

[ebon condor]

no such thing as an 'in general' balatro ranking bc endless and a8 are so wildly different it skews perception if you dont split it

[somber barn]

Why my banan extinc? :(

[ebon condor]

10 billionth tierlist with baron in s tier

[primal sable]

what happens if i use a strength on a stone card

[patent sail]

bro i forgot i had my friends mod installed until i got jumpscared by a green seal 😭

[primal sable]

maybe i unlock secret card

[shell dagger]

nothing unless you remove the stone enhancement later

[obsidian patrol]

anaglyph in B and zodiac in C

its bleak

[patent sail]

nothinh

it upgrades its stored rank

[somber barn]

It becomes a face card, I think, or at least it did for me

[night bridge]

Anaglyph deck kinda high imo

[obsidian patrol]

it upgrades its stored card

[patent sail]

then it was a 10/J/Q

[lament condor]

anaglyph feels too gimmicky but it has its fun moments

[obsidian patrol]

but its still a stone card

[lament condor]

clown car build is definitely a highlight

[primal sable]

i dont think ive ever even played a stone card in this game are they even usefull

[patent sail]

it has a rank and suit stored about it, just inactive

[somber barn]

For some reason, every card provided by tower is one of those

[patent sail]

situational

[shell dagger]

yes

[obsidian patrol]

they can be situational

[night bridge]

+50 chips are always welcome here

[somber barn]

Just don't get too many stones or you'll poop the bed if you didn't level up high cards

[rugged bloom]

The most unfair gold stake plasma deck setup

[patent sail]

tower... makes anything you choose a stone card? if you make face into stone it will stay a face until unstoned

[night bridge]

High straight build cooking

[rugged bloom]

To any "Erm aktually 🤓" merchants, I already beat the Plant

[somber barn]

I meant stone joker, mb

[patent sail]

marble

stone is the chip gainer

[rugged bloom]

i'm halfway done already

[somber barn]

I'm eepy

[rugged bloom]

I can never keep remember them

[somber barn]

I've been watching these machines all night

[patent sail]

top 10 jokers like no one ever uses

[obsidian patrol]

the humble hologram

[patent sail]

marble? hell yea

stone? no

[night bridge]

Good chip source

[patent sail]

stone is ass tho

marble is good yea

marble is the creating one

[obsidian patrol]

well marble isnt good

its good if you have hologram

thats about it

[patent sail]

kinda that yes

also for pair/hc spam for extra chips idk

[obsidian patrol]

i guess but you'd rather want blue seals

[primal sable]

should i encantation or just copy the ace

[somber barn]

Risky

[patent sail]

copy

[somber barn]

I say incant, no huevos

[patent sail]

incantation is hologram feeder

but like

what ante is this

[somber barn]

Valid question

[primal sable]

10

[patent sail]

dont crop your screenshots ever, we need more info

[somber barn]

We NEED THE DATA

[primal sable]

ok heres full

[patent sail]

fuck ouija

[primal sable]

is it really that bad

[sullen aspen]

only good in painted deck

[night bridge]

Judgement blueprint let it ride

[patent sail]

-1 hand size for not that good of a benefit

[patent sail]

truth

[lament condor]

ouija is fun if you can make it work

[night bridge]

Good dopamine hit when it hits what you want tho

[somber barn]

LET'S GO GAMBLING

[lament condor]

i take it sometimes if im just running random white stake runs

[patent sail]

i only ever take it like

ante 1 jokerless when im feeling particularly lazy

[ebon condor]

oujia is probably the worst consumable in the game

[patent sail]

ouija isnt like terrible but its not good enough to warrant having that -1 hand size

[primal sable]

how about familiar

should i get that

[patent sail]

hologram food

[primal sable]

oh yea

[patent sail]

but you do need to delete garbage cards later if you wanna get far

[night bridge]

Idol predict

[primal sable]

i just got this

[patent sail]

always hope for idol

[primal sable]

someone here hates this card

[patent sail]

everyone

[primal sable]

is that a card

[patent sail]

joker

practically useless in ante 8 runs, really good endless though

[rugged bloom]

Done

[primal sable]

should i open packs to look for it

[night bridge]

Need oops tho

[rugged bloom]

Legit one of my breeziest gold stake runs

Even though I had a negative econ for 2 and a half antes

[patent sail]

if you wanna get really far maybe

[rugged bloom]

I legit didn't get to buy anything for 6-7 (unironically) shops

[night bridge]

Thooth again ig

[primal sable]

my goal is to beat this

[patent sail]

but you need to keep only copies of one card in the deck (aka crazy deckfixing) or it WILL betray you

[night bridge]

Doable

Missing retriggers still

[rugged bloom]

Yeap

It took me 4 hands to carry

[patent sail]

it gives x2 mult per played card of a rank and suit and chooses those rank and suit from what you have in your deck at random

so you need to have only copies of one card in your deck to guarantee the constant mult

[teal thunder]

@patent sail cavendish only just showing up 💔

[night bridge]

Food for food fair trade

[patent sail]

guess the egg dies

[rugged bloom]

I think this is the most optimal and dependable way to beat gold stake plasma deck

[teal thunder]

we making scrambled eggs tn

[rugged bloom]

Go all in on chips, because +chips scale much fastert than +mult

[teal thunder]

obelisk up to 5x already

[patent sail]

dont crash it

[teal thunder]

oh hey egg, back so soon

[patent sail]

oooh risky

[teal thunder]

im banking on the 3 of a kind

[night bridge]

Getting close

[primal sable]

people should start using jokers that work well together that could be a good strat im gonna try it

[patent sail]

when i won with it i spammed 11 flushes first

[rugged bloom]

Am I onto something or on something?

[lunar zealot]

We are localthunk

[teal thunder]

i did that but with high card lol

[patent sail]

isnt that like ehat people already do

[primal sable]

idk maybe

[rugged bloom]

We are localthunk

We carry the flame

[patent sail]

thats risky, high card can happen accidentally as a throwaway when youre out of discards

[teal thunder]

ik, my deck fixing isnt great either but so far ive been lucky

got 9 hand size so that helps

[errant brook]

Okay I need you all who are smarter than me's opinions: Does this make ante 39 hypothetically possible now without Perkeo?

[patent sail]

just pray you stay lucky like that

[patent sail]

very very unlikely

[rugged bloom]

Show us your deck

Come on, don't be shy

[errant brook]

Bro it's ante 6 lol

[patent sail]

theres literally nothing else that would help rn

[errant brook]

I'm just asking about nat negative Baron

[rugged bloom]

Alone? Very unlikely

[patent sail]

pick him up for fun

[teal thunder]

yeah

why not

[patent sail]

i hate when people think baron = instant naneinf

[shell dagger]

it was already hypothetically possible

[teal thunder]

might as well take em

[rugged bloom]

You need a deck full of steel red seal kings, mime, 4-5 copy jokers, DNA, and Burglar to reach Ante 39

[patent sail]

i have picture about that

[obsidian patrol]

there are a lot of factors than just nat neg baron to get to ante 39

[night bridge]

I mean idk how much score is ante 38

[errant brook]

I'm not thinking instant naneinf but this frees up one joker slot so the question basically was "Does having another BP/BS make beating ante 32 doable without Perkeo"

[shell dagger]

ante 38 isn’t the problem

[night bridge]

The serpent is mandatory i guess

[teal thunder]

LMAO

[shell dagger]

the only hard ante is 32

[night bridge]

Ohh the big boss blind

[rugged bloom]

The real problem is Ante 24 and 32

[night bridge]

Yeah i forgot about it

[shell dagger]

24 is easy

[night bridge]

I was used to ante 24 for final boss blind

[errant brook]

I needed Bean to beat Ante 24 earlier. Spent 4,700 dollars to get it, then lost on ante 25 due to not having enough money

[rugged bloom]

I don't know how people do Ante 32 for ante 39 push

[teal thunder]

ss from my best run, also got the bean bug 🙏

[rugged bloom]

I guess bean bug or temporary idol pivot

[patent sail]

this is extra funny because they somehow didnt beat ANTE 2 WITH A 1.5X AT THE VERY LEAST

[errant brook]

I've done it once using start with Perkeo mod

[shell dagger]

2 natural negatives or a bug

or perkeo

[rugged bloom]

What does the Perkeo mod do?

[teal thunder]

bro was trying to play high card probably

[errant brook]

First arcana pack has Soul

[night bridge]

You were aiming for naneinf squared holy steel

[rugged bloom]

I use Brainstorm Mod for that

I don't know what Perkeo mod does

[patent sail]

average roffle chatter

[rugged bloom]

They got it too

[thick narwhal]

Would be me

[rugged bloom]

they forget that you need flat mult to mulitply

[teal thunder]

worth it

[night bridge]

At that point yeah they got everything imaginable

[teal thunder]

didnt make it too much further tho

[rugged bloom]

Sometimes you can do everything right to achieve naneinf but fail because you don't have red seals

[teal thunder]

lol

[rugged bloom]

It's really unfair

[shell dagger]

how tf did you pass 39

[rugged bloom]

They should make a deck which allows you to buy spectral cards in the shop

[patent sail]

bones idk

i dont think he wpuld save here

[shell dagger]

is this ragebait

[rugged bloom]

Bones doesn't work for ante 39

[rugged bloom]

You tell me, Capy

[teal thunder]

cuz i scored naneinf?

[patent sail]

chat

[teal thunder]

i had enough cryptids ig

[patent sail]

👻

[teal thunder]

spooky

[shell dagger]

naneinf can’t be compared with nan, you usually just lose regardless

[patent sail]

you still die to ante 39

[gray tartan]

what goes here

[lament condor]

least valuable dagger

[rugged bloom]

show us your deck

[teal thunder]

well then i got no clue how i got past it

maybe i broke broke it

[patent sail]

game should end at ante 40 instead. think about it - you will have met all 5 showdowns AND the final blind will be a showdown

very fitting

also just a prettier number

[gray tartan]

woaa

[gray tartan]

ante 7 btw

[rugged bloom]

you need more 2's

[lament condor]

so if i get violet vessel i basically lose

its fine i got bell

[rugged bloom]

What deck is this on

[gray tartan]

ig chad goes for bp

[patent sail]

plasma

[lament condor]

el yellow deck

[teal thunder]

wait so how did i get past it then??

[lament condor]

do i take invis

hmmmmmm

[patent sail]

ask localunc

[ebon condor]

is it normally -nan like that?

i thought it was just nan

[rugged bloom]

it is -nan

[patent sail]

steammoded naneinf

[obsidian patrol]

you dont

[ebon condor]

ah thats prolly the reason then

[teal thunder]

these are the only ones ive got

[patent sail]

my build is just STUFF

[teal thunder]

would talisman or brainstorm impact that

[patent sail]

steammodded is the framework mods work on, twin

[ebon condor]

its possible idk ive never used them

[rugged bloom]

I use Brainstorm, Saturn, and Deltarune Cardfaces

[patent sail]

talisman very likely

[teal thunder]

ouhhhouguhhhfhh

[ebon condor]

also its known that just steammodded can cause issues sometimes

[teal thunder]

my brain melt

[gray tartan]

i got a perkeo 😭

[teal thunder]

what does talisman even do

it came with brainstorm

[patent sail]

removes score limit (it you enable that)

[rugged bloom]

You on your own now

[ebon condor]

well it was still breaking at a39 so i assume they didnt turn it on

[patent sail]

new limit becomes shit you cant even reach in cryptid with some insane setups

[teal thunder]

oh yeah ur right

[patent sail]

well still may be related to score in some way

[shell dagger]

That’ll do it

[patent sail]

oh yea also lets you disable animations

[teal thunder]

is it worth it to have talisman enabled if its gonna mess with some stuff in the game?

[lament condor]

maybe im not rating yellow deck high enough i beat this first try

[teal thunder]

vro discovered yellow deck

[patent sail]

i mean i have it enabled too but it doesnt do anything for me

[teal thunder]

💛

[gray tartan]

what goes now 😭

[teal thunder]

oml

uhh

wee

[lament condor]

"vro" br thnks hs shksphr

[rugged bloom]

stop playing with your wee

[teal thunder]

m bd fgt

[gray tartan]

but I'll die without my wee

[obsidian patrol]

wee probably

[rugged bloom]

"vro" -...- . - --- ... . - - ..

[teal thunder]

would you rather a large wee, or brainstorm

[patent sail]

i have like 9 mods on and all are either cosmetic or QOL

[night bridge]

Is idol set up already?

[wanton breach]

perkeo

[gray tartan]

i think hack dies for now i literally cant survive without wee

[obsidian patrol]

how many chips do you have on your hard

[teal thunder]

oh is ur deck not idol ready?

rippp

[obsidian patrol]

hand

[teal thunder]

honestly might have to be idol if ur deck aint fixed enough

[gray tartan]

id never betray my beloved perkeo

[night bridge]

Thats the thing normally wee goes but if your score still relies on it then hack ig

[teal thunder]

yeah id say kill idol for now

[gray tartan]

ya hack goes

[teal thunder]

he can always show up later when ur deck is fixed

[gray tartan]

oh wait true

i can come back for it true true

[night bridge]

Idk about that

[night bridge]

Death perkeo should fix that deck quickly

[gray tartan]

thats also true

but like hmmmmmmm

[night bridge]

Spanish meme

[teal thunder]

perkeo will also be able to generate infinite money basically to roll back for an idol

[night bridge]

Recorten los screenshots

[teal thunder]

what does ur deck look like?

[patent sail]

game gave me shoot the moon in like every shop this run, i think its hinting at something

[lament condor]

graci NO as

[gray tartan]

also gold seal and hack should make more money

[night bridge]

It depends which route to take both work but i feel rolling is kinda risky

[teal thunder]

exaactllyy

[gray tartan]

14 2 in 36 card deck

ya bye idol for now

[night bridge]

Oh well yeah ig idol then

[teal thunder]

yeah def idol

what do your vouchers look like atm?

[patent sail]

oh ofc i get needle as soon as pick up card sharp

fuck you needle

[teal thunder]

thats a pretty good lineup of vouchers

id be hoping for blank asap tho

also how many kings do you have?

[patent sail]

guess who shows up first pack next run

[teal thunder]

cuz you have a good setup if you wanted to try for naneinf asw

who

[patent sail]

card sharp ❤️‍🩹

[teal thunder]

he came back ❤️

[gray tartan]

2 💔

[teal thunder]

rippppp

[gray tartan]

id rerun this seed for nanief later

[teal thunder]

well, deck fixing should be easy with perkeo

if you come across a baron/mime, could be worth bumping up your king numbers a bit just in case

any red seals?

[gray tartan]

got the idol back now its 31 2 in 40 card deck

why is it on 10 of hearts imma cry

[teal thunder]

hell yeah

[errant brook]

RIP

[gray tartan]

4 fucking barons

[errant brook]

The Plant, not a single re-roll voucher in sight. Already passed through a Luchador early

[gray tartan]

im rerunning this

[errant brook]

Had I not re-rolled at all at the start I'd have been fine

[teal thunder]

oooooffffffff

[errant brook]

Weird seed, I think I had 0-1 purple seals

[teal thunder]

https://giphy.com/gifs/plant-jimbo-nariox-cQJeeyIpjxbGxVMRCE

[errant brook]

Lot of good stuff but lack of some vouchers was annoying

[gray tartan]

mmmm balalal

my favourite game ever

who 🆙 balatrong

[patent sail]

i always get the good stuff on low stakes

but as soon as i enter blue stake it stars giving me the most random unsynergising bs ever

[ebon condor]

fuck is that

[patent sail]

whar

[ebon condor]

the present

[teal thunder]

real

[patent sail]

trading card

it has 96 or so variants in aura mod

[ebon condor]

ah exiting

departing, if you will

[quartz ember]

mfw I have less econ to find good stuff

[patent sail]

randomizes after every activation

[teal thunder]

ooo

oh yeah btw, would you mind if i sent a friend request? :3

[patent sail]

i mean even when i got econ i just get the most random whatever

[patent sail]

me? i wouldnt

[wraith iris]

huh

[teal thunder]

https://giphy.com/gifs/balatro-GuNEPm96nUEtvQIukg

[wraith iris]

got both in this shop

[patent sail]

panting it up

[keen pilot]

I finally completed jokerless!

[teal thunder]

oh daaamnn

[patent sail]

hell yea

[teal thunder]

mm yummy

[patent sail]

i only have jokerless and golden needle left

[teal thunder]

tbh i havent really done many challenges lol

[patent sail]

i did them all on my phone

only recently got a game on pc

[patent sail]

except the needle and jokerless ofc

[glossy mortar]

So close but sadly it just wasn’t doable. Honestly devastating how close some of these seeds are to possible yet just can’t make it. I made so much glass for this specific reason yet the luck of the draw gave me none of the glass I needed.

Honestly the only part of this games rng that actually kills it is the deck rng.

[teal thunder]

ripppp

[glossy mortar]

Every other aspect of rng is fair, but the deck will just randomly decide to kill you for no reason. The deck is the true boss of this game.

[teal thunder]

the house always wins

[patent sail]

as like the boss haha get it balala reference

[glossy mortar]

Yup. Well i guess 3 hours now of trying at green deck wasn’t enough. Time to go back to the drawing board.

Green deck sucks not because it’s hard, but because it requires so much rerolling to find a doable start.

[wraith iris]

idk why more people dont talk about the perko+canio combo, this seems really strong lol

i think i'll get all my gold stake wins like this, seems very achievable

no way

[weak relic]

I spent everything on rerolls yet no non-gold sticker. Im afraid it's getting more and more harder

[wraith iris]

is there a way to see the seed before the game ends?

[patent sail]

mods

[patent sail]

yaoi

[somber barn]

Just quality time with the homies

[patent sail]

just in time huh

[somber barn]

Wh-

[patent sail]

fat erosion AND poly

[somber barn]

I really need more playtime, wtf are these cards

[weak relic]

Mmm I love erosion

[patent sail]

though what i have is still better

[fringe nebula]

i told michelle to go extinct and then i realized how rude i was

[patent sail]

if you dont recognise the uranus one i cant blame you, its a flash card skin

[somber barn]

No that one, I recognize anywhere

[weak relic]

Wher non gold joker?

[somber barn]

Uranus, my beloved

I want that on a shirt

THUNK, MAKE IT HAPPEN

[patent sail]

so like does anyone even die for erosion or do i just go next? i can win just fine but its funny

[somber barn]

Do it

Erode and win

[weak relic]

Fumbled a Canio run xDDDDDD

[patent sail]

meh if i kill flash card i lose my only chips source (being its foil edition) so i think ill just go next

[somber barn]

Gg, no re

[weak relic]

Idk but by the looks of it I probably just picked the worse decisions in that run

47 fuckin bucks yet didn't reroll for smth

[patent sail]

i seem to be very lucky for specifically holographics today

[pastel geyser]

Is there a way to record games and replay them/collect statistics? I'd like to, for example, figure out where I typically die with a given deck at a given stake to troubleshoot my strategy, or maybe cause of death (couldn't find the hand I needed, boss blind etc). I don't know if game states/actions can be written to a log and parsed externally maybe (like, is there a debug mode?)

[weak relic]

Im getting more and more dogshit at this game

[somber barn]

Nah m8, horse shit

When boss man says no horsin' around, but

[fringe nebula]

i hate plasma deck

[somber barn]

DAMN

[patent sail]

hell yea both glass cards that i wanted to die instantly died

[wraith iris]

definitely an above average seed, two legendaries in ante 2 first shop, and a blueprint not too much farther down the line
Seed: 52HM2VUL

[somber barn]

Above average seed, you say?

My wife advised me not to finish the joke

Sad days

[wraith iris]

it's ok, i bet it would have been really funny

[somber barn]

Heck no, I'm not that tall

Give him the seed

[patent sail]

no seed giving before the marriage

[wraith iris]

52HM2VUL

[somber barn]

Pre-marital seed giving

[pastel pagoda]

OH SO YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT BALATRO

[wraith iris]

any time 😉

[somber barn]

I just took psychic damage

[patent sail]

dont ask me why kings and 8s specifically, idk either

[somber barn]

why

[patent sail]

great question

no

thats yellow after deckfiximg

[somber barn]

Baron + 8ball users be like

[weak relic]

I dont get why r/balatro loves 8ball so much

[wraith iris]

yeah, that's why pair is meta, it's really hard to not draw a pair

[patent sail]

8 ballin

[wraith iris]

it's one of my only d tier jokers

[weak relic]

It's existence makes me mad I want him to go

[wraith iris]

shoulda renamed it f tier tbh

[patent sail]

my highscore is an 8 ball run 🎀

[wraith iris]

im not gonna show you the rest of my tierlist cause imma get flamed for it

[patent sail]

man credit card aint even bad

AJ IN D???

[wraith iris]

but i think most people would agree on most of those jokers, (at least for gold stake completions)

[patent sail]

marble isnt this horrible either

the rest is usual low tier inhabitants

[wraith iris]

i admit i may be too hard on AJ

i havent used it much

[fringe nebula]

putting ancient joker next to baron is an insult to ancient ngl

[wraith iris]

being in debt makes me sad

[weak relic]

Is bloodstone lower than these actual riffraffs?

[patent sail]

ante 1 free money or vagabond farm

[wraith iris]

bloodstone just barely scraped it's way into the next tier up, but it was a close call

[patent sail]

bloodtsone over aj??

🔨

[wraith iris]

ok im learning things about aj

ty for the input

[pastel pagoda]

Dont disrespect astronomer like that

[wraith iris]

i 100% disrespect astronomer like that

[patent sail]

when i had bloodstone shit hit 1 of 5 cards

[fringe nebula]

astronomer is fine imo

just not the best econ

and very expensive

[weak relic]

Constellation and campfire scaling

[fringe nebula]

$8

[wraith iris]

it is fine, but it's literally the most expensive economy joker in the game, so it feels really bad to buy

[patent sail]

not the best but a fun one

[wraith iris]

what's the best way to use AJ? just flushes with a mostly unmodified deck?

[patent sail]

flushes mhm

[rugged pond]

erm

[patent sail]

you can destroy or add shit just make sure its somewhat balanced

[wraith iris]

gotcha

[patent sail]

and have a few wilds

[rich mauve]

red seal wild cards :p

[glossy mortar]

Bruh that was a 9 head moment.

[wraith iris]

i'll give it a go sometime

[patent sail]

just in case

[patent sail]

in case you dont draw that 5th card

[wraith iris]

yeah, i always seem to die on any 5 card hand

[glossy mortar]

I took ancient joker at start thinking I could do a flush play. Well I forgot why ancient joker is considered f tier. You get 1 debuff suit boss and you die instantly. XD

[patent sail]

6 jacks left to kill and then its perfect kings and 8s deck

[wraith iris]

if im relying on straights or flushes or full houses, i'll eventually not draw it

[fringe nebula]

always believe in top up tag 🗣️ 🗣️

[patent sail]

can we horse react this individual

[covert zodiac]

Best decj for under 12 round unlock?

[glossy mortar]

Yeah idk how I forgot about that tbh. Never ever take ancient joker. That thing is ass.

[pastel pagoda]

Holy to the freaking moly

[wraith iris]

anaglyph, of course

[fringe nebula]

any deck works

[weak relic]

Fragile

[wraith iris]

does it count?

[weak relic]

Was feeling sarcastic

[teal thunder]

ho ho ho

[somber barn]

I am not

😢

[wraith iris]

gotcha, i wasnt sure if you could get achievments from challenge decks

[glossy mortar]

Alright well I think that’s it for today.

[weak relic]

Ye the other already said it

[patent sail]

yiy cant??

[weak relic]

Anything can work

[patent sail]

not with vanilla game anyway

with steammodded you can yeah

[weak relic]

Just play

[patent sail]

it breaks the restriction

[wraith iris]

right

[glossy mortar]

After now 4 hours of play I can finally say green deck orange stake is 3rd hardest thing so far I’ve tried.

[somber barn]

What's the second?

[weak relic]

Ofc I forgor to put the /s

[patent sail]

a measure of time which theres 60 of in a minute

[pastel pagoda]

Whats the zeroth?

[somber barn]

Thanks, I forgor

[glossy mortar]

2nd is jokerless, 1st is blue stake black deck. However jokerless has been beat, so it’s timer has stopped so it will likely be surpassed very quickly by many other things.

Jokerless took 5.5 hours. Blue stake black deck is currently clocking at 6 hours and has yet to be done.

[wraith iris]

is green deck that bad? it's one of the decks i dont have much experience with, it doesn't looks that bad? but also not good either

[weak relic]

I used baron mime to beat green deck on gold stake

[glossy mortar]

No green deck isn’t bad at all. In fact it’s very doable. Issue is the amount of rng you need to beat anything at that level is insurmountable. I had in that time 6 runs go past ante 6.

[weak relic]

Well not exactly baron mime

It had stm on it

[rancid gull]

stm my beloved

[somber barn]

Stm
