Stab that man

[wraith iris]

good players (not me) manage well over 50% winrates on all decks, on gold stake, though some decks are certainly more consistent than others

[glossy mortar]

Oh I know. I never said I was a good player xD

[pale wolf]

lmfao

[patent sail]

if you need to reroll the run until you get a good start what are you even doing

[pale wolf]

yea its the rng

green deck is fairly weak

[somber barn]

I get a crap start, I forge my own dubs

[glossy mortar]

Like when I start working on gold stakes that’s when we will see where the real challenge is at.

[wraith iris]

are you keeping every deck at the same stake?

mine are all over the place lol

[glossy mortar]

It is. It’s why I have it unlocked to orange stake right now. Anything that I can unlock that far is pretty weak.

[glossy mortar]

I used to, but after finding out blue stake black deck is something that would take literal days of time to beat. I decided to scrap that and just do whatever I find interesting next.

Green deck is actually only one of 2 decks I have unlocked that far.

[wraith iris]

my current stake completions are

5 gold
1 orange
2 blue
1 black
2 green
3 red
1 white

[somber barn]

My steak:

Medium-rare

[wraith iris]

poor nebula deck, all alone at white stake

it'll probably stay there for a while

[patent sail]

i got a legendary one bro get on my level

[somber barn]

That shit is still mooing

[wraith iris]

i dont want to play straights, and i have a hard time imagining it being really good with much else

[mortal needle]

New High Score let's go

Got high score with serpant last ante

Knew I was dead anyway so I full-sent it before ante 24

[wraith iris]

niiiiiice

141 cards?????

is that really neccessary?

[glossy mortar]

Red: Blue
Blue: Blue
Yellow: Orange
Green: Purple
Black: Black
Magic: Purple
Nebula: Blue
Ghost: Purple
Abandoned: Blue
Checkered: Blue
Zodiac: Blue
Painted: Purple
Anaglyph: Blue
Plasma: Purple
Erratic: Black

That’s what I got so far.

[mortal needle]

DNA, 2 blueprints and brainstorm

[glossy mortar]

Nope! But I did attempt gold once! First try I got to ante 7 then died to bad draws.

[wraith iris]

yeah, go for gold on your favorite deck! it's a completely different experience

[pale wolf]

you are bad at matching colors /s

let me take a go: red red blue blue yellow yellow green green

[rugged pond]

i meet plant XC

[pale wolf]

erratic is easy to beat once if you're gonna reset for a very good starting deck but its not super strong without resetting

[glossy mortar]

The more I play the more I realize that draws are the real enemy. It’s why I’ve pretty much exclusively been using pairs now. They are the most reliable.

[pale wolf]

i think its bottom half of viability without resetting

[glossy mortar]

Erratic is very hard. The nature of the game has you doing whatever type the first few jokers demand. If your deck isn’t built for it. You die. It sucks.

[pale wolf]

not the worst

[glossy mortar]

However it’s nothing compared to the true most challenging decks in the game.

[pale wolf]

erratic deck is strictly better than a normal deck's distribution

any amount of deckfixing is good

[rugged pond]

my three Perkeo seed dead XC

[glossy mortar]

In order based on my experience so far the hardest decks are, Black, Plasma, Zodiac, Erratic, and Abandoned.

[patent sail]

abandoned hardest???

Average photochad builder 😭😭

[glossy mortar]

The gap in difficulty between black and plasma though is massive.

[rugged pond]

why plasma is hard

[glossy mortar]

It’s like black is 1st place, then there is 30 spots that are empty, then plasma and the rest.

[patent sail]

its not impossible buy like

why would you even do that

[rugged pond]

its eazy to alive

[fringe nebula]

because it's really awkward to pivot from chips to mult

[fringe nebula]

play purple or orange stake

[glossy mortar]

Abandoned is weird and only difficult because the start kills you so much without any face cards. However if you live past the start and get a workable build going, you can easily take it.

[rugged pond]

most of the time can win with only chips

[fringe nebula]

again, play purple or orange stake

[patent sail]

Channels & Roles

at the top

over the channels

[sleek agate]

purple stakes makes this a lot harder

[tawdry rock]

just imagine i question mark reacted this but i cant because im blocked

[patent sail]

you dont even need faces 😭 son

[obtuse shuttle]

[patent sail]

abandoned was my easiest so far and i didnt need any faces ever

[somber barn]

🧄

[patent sail]

no wonder it was hard for you, face addiction is insane

[fringe nebula]

just get an early +mult and play straights

[rugged pond]

i finish the plasma gold stake with 5 chips joker (

[keen pilot]

I'm very smart
Picked up this joker, while playing a pair build on Golden Needle challenge

[glossy mortar]

So like the “proper” order would be.

1st: Black
2nd-29th: N/A
30th: Plasma
31st-39th: N/A
40th: Zodiac
41st: Erratic
42nd-49th: N/A
50th: Abandoned

[tawdry rock]

gotta get my face card fix in the morning

[fringe nebula]

get violet vessel'd

[patent sail]

dont talk to me until i had my photochad

[sleek agate]

that is more often than not very difficult to pull off

[inner hollow]

Chat is ts tuff

:(

[tawdry rock]

[inner hollow]

I tried rly hard for this

[rugged pond]

u r right XC

[rugged pond]

why not?

[patent sail]

O7 the funny 8s and kings deck run

[obtuse shuttle]

I played all of Balatro and Terraria without guides, if possible

[somber barn]

That's real life

[tawdry rock]

FUCK needle

[rugged pond]

[tawdry rock]

who even likes needle

[somber barn]

No, that would hurt

[sleek agate]

this is true, speaking from experience

[obtuse shuttle]

that's cool

[tawdry rock]

mono-ality of man

[fringe nebula]

this is a run i guess

[somber barn]

The run of all time

[rugged pond]

i only read wiki after trying to against the moonlord

[obtuse shuttle]

The same thing happened to me, in the end I made a super long sand and with that it becomes easy

Hi chat I’m having a funny game and would like some advice

[somber barn]

The rain is risky

Bring an umbrella

[floral crown]

Rn I’m having a good run but don’t rly have any econ other than a few gold seals and lucky hits, is oops worth?

Yoricks on x18 rn

But I don’t rly need him since I’m hitting like e15

[umbral coyote]

if you wanna go crazy into late game sell yorick

replace him with econ

[keen pilot]

Well, long-term, I'd imagine Yorick's x18 is soon gonna be less relevant

Depends on how much you score rn

[queen kindle]

just played The Evil Hand

[floral crown]

:0

[fringe nebula]

ok but have you ever done this

[keen pilot]

For reference, a single triboulet on a 5 card hand of queens and kings is already x32
Add a red seal to all of them, it becomes x1024
Add 2 copies of Triboulet and it's x1073741824
Add a chad and now it's x68719476736
Yorick only gives you 1 more e

[queen kindle]

yooo

[somber barn]

oooy

[keen pilot]

Rip

[somber barn]

Dang

[fickle mesa]

why were u even using steel face cards anyways

im assuming thats the problem here

[keen pilot]

OMG

[fickle mesa]

honestly depending on ur high card/pair/whatever hand type you have you should just be able to sell the mime and rebate to survibe

or just the rebate

[torpid bridge]

Is it tight?

[fickle mesa]

casual sexual harrassment but ok

[somber barn]

Not a high enough level for ranked

[fickle mesa]

yeah sure you did

[somber barn]

It is a funny name

[fickle mesa]

notably didnt edit your message but instead made a correction because it was just such a "funny" mistake to make

[torpid bridge]

T and R are next to each other so he probably did

[fickle mesa]

yeah im used to that

[keen pilot]

I had to play a flush 5 of 9's with 3 of them as glass

[fringe nebula]

sup i just tabbed in

[fickle mesa]

the reason i have my name is because i picked it out a while ago and its the only name i can use that feels connected to me without having it be connected to my old deadname

[warm niche]

yeah that's fair

[somber barn]

A unique connection

[valid flare]

What should I get for more scoring?

[fickle mesa]

not that i hate that old username, but the more i can be seperated from my deadname the better i feel

[fringe nebula]

idol

[somber barn]

Jimbo, off to the shadow realm with you #🃏・off-topic

[warm niche]

that's fair too

[valid flare]

I saw one in ante 2 but it was too early so I skipped it hopefully he's not mad about it and decides to show up

[torpid bridge]

How is your pronoun it

[fickle mesa]

i mean in the sense of "this here is me, when somebody says this username or pings this username i know this is me"

but i also do like shadow the hedgehog

[torpid bridge]

Arent people only using it towards people they hate

Or disrespect

[warm niche]

some people do have it pronouns for itself

like we're not the only one

[fickle mesa]

hi

i use it

[warm niche]

see?

[torpid bridge]

It as a pronoun sounds humiliating to me

But fair

[fickle mesa]

honestly why do people even use "he"

[torpid bridge]

They choose it

[somber barn]

I've only ever been called It in a derogatory term

[fickle mesa]

it sounds pretty insulting tbh

[torpid bridge]

Ywah

[fickle mesa]

i am making something known as a "joke"

yes i know why people use he

[dense stag]

whats happening i wanted to come here to talk about balatro

[warm niche]

it's kinda hard to tell with text sometimes- I really did think you were serious

[dense stag]

oh my bad

[torpid bridge]

Im serious about the it pronoun

[somber barn]

Joker chronic dark pack

That sounds kinda cool

[torpid bridge]

Ok chips

[somber barn]

There's a storm outside, actually

Lemme go check the machines

[rugged bloom]

am i onto something or on something

[valid flare]

🫩🫩🫩

[rugged bloom]

should i take the half joker

[torpid bridge]

Tldr

[warm niche]

like some people do use it for itself, but like, there's also the aspect of not feeling human or human enough or incompatible with feeling human that drives towards wanting to use it

though I mean of course there'd still be those who don't want to be referred as it, it's just it depends on the person and if they're okay with it, like if they're not okay with it, it is to be respected

it's a lot like... gays and lesbians using the slurs that refer to them; like some of them are okay with it, but others aren't

[fringe nebula]

fun is prohibited on plasma deck

thank you for your understanding

[somber barn]

What the shit is that

[shell dagger]

imagine stone joker tho

[fickle mesa]

i use it because i was repeatedly told that i wasnt compatible with the way that humans are

[rugged bloom]

That's a fucking lie

[warm niche]

and also even if the person sucks you still have to respect their pronouns and identity

[rugged bloom]

This was a fun setup on gold stake plasma

[rugged bloom]

erm

[fringe nebula]

get violed vessel'd

[rugged bloom]

what's the context

[fickle mesa]

and now theyre surprised im a cat

[warm niche]

OHHHHHH so that's why pussy- oh like a cat, oh that's very suitable

[somber barn]

YOURE A CAT

oh i didnt even consider

no the joke is genitals let me be clear

and not just for her, but for like, other people too

[tawdry rock]

holu shit hes been like this for so long

[rugged bloom]

You clearly came out of someone's butt cuz you talk mighty shit

[tawdry rock]

[rugged bloom]

Mods, ceremonial dagger this dude's wee

[tawdry rock]

nothijg related to balatro

[somber barn]

Ah crap, I might get the axe too

[fringe nebula]

can we go back and talk about balatro in #🕹・game-discussion thanks

[keen pilot]

Well, the difference is some use "it" to disrespect, by using wrong pronouns
A lot of men would also not like it if they were referred to as "she", it doesn't have to be "it" necessarily to sound disrespectful
But using "it" pronouns if asked to is not disrespectful or derogatory

[warm niche]

essentially this

[rugged bloom]

Ya'll are trying to reason with someone who still watches cocomelon, thinks 69 is the peak of humor, and hasn't been disciplined ever

just ignore them

that's the best way to deal with people like them

Ignore them just like their parents did

[warm niche]

no this was for like an entirely different person who was wondering why I had it in my set of pronouns, not them

[solid rock]

joined 3 hours ago and stirring this much shit, god damn

[rugged bloom]

Don't give them the attention they don't need

[somber barn]

Guys, look

[fickle mesa]

yeah okay but insulting somebodys history or anything else abt them that they cant change is not actually going to hurt them as much as it hurts other people who have had similar histories and who are completely fine people

[tawdry rock]

what are we even talking about

[trail hemlock]

Mod logue police summoned

[tawdry rock]

i thought this was game discussion

[fickle mesa]

anyways ummmm

[fringe nebula]

anyways, riff raff is the best econ joker

[rugged bloom]

I am completely aware of that, I apologize for anyone who had a bad family life, I've just had enough of bullies for a lifetime and don't care how I deal with them

Anyways I'm gonna take the fucking half joker

oh nice! dang that it's perishable though

[keen pilot]

I got a hiker basically for free the other day lol

[rugged bloom]

My hiker carried my gold stake plasma run

[keen pilot]

It's so satisfying to get value out of rental jokers and then sell them

[floral crown]

Was fun while it lasted, sadly never saw a sock

That’s a fun seed has both yorick and trib

[warm niche]

there were some runs of mine (not now, I don't have the game up right now, but before today, and probably... no I forgot the dates) that started out amazing but crashed out before they could get even better
might have some screenshots of those but might have to dig a little

[vestal copper]

hiker is peak

[keen pilot]

Had Yorick, Canio, and Trib in a single run one time

[floral crown]

My game still says I haven’t unlocked canio >:(

Sometimes games just don’t save progress idk why

I’ve definitely had him before

[rugged bloom]

i have lucky cards, do i take chad? in place of whom?

[keen pilot]

Unfortunately had to sell Canio cuz it stayed at x1 for several antes

[warm niche]

this one had both vampire and driver's license

[keen pilot]

Meanwhile, I was able to scale Yorick past x50

[rugged bloom]

does half joker go?

:<

[keen pilot]

Do you have hand levels tho?

[rugged bloom]

level 8 pair

[torpid bridge]

Your first mistake is taking vampire

[rugged bloom]

this is purple stake btw not gold stake

[keen pilot]

Hmm, could be good enough then

idk

[ancient gyro]

no

[thorny pebble]

New softlock unlocked, destroy 5 cards for 20$ when hand size is only 5

[keen pilot]

Oof

[obsidian patrol]

why cant you skip

[thorny pebble]

I don't know

Cuz I have no cards left

[ancient gyro]

only case is if you're overscoring by 3x the blind amount currently

[warm niche]

i think there was one run that I had both Midas Mask and Vampire but that flunk

[fickle mesa]

i believe this is considered a hardlock

[rugged bloom]

red card in place of whom

stuntman right?

[fickle mesa]

a softlock is when u can keep interacting w the games mechanics and such but cannot make progress right?

[thorny pebble]

Hmm might be, what's the difference

[fickle mesa]

at least as ive always understood it

[thorny pebble]

But i can't right

All I can do is abandon my run

[fickle mesa]

mhm yeah

which is why i labeled it as a hardlock

but truth be told i could also be speaking out of my ass

[thorny pebble]

But can't you just quit the game when u get softlocked too?

I don't know

Let's just sat that it's a lock

Say

Spectral lock

[fickle mesa]

well yeah usually thats the only option when softlocked

[thorny pebble]

Also, 0 hands lol

[fickle mesa]

you cant do anything besides delete your save and start a new save

[thorny pebble]

So this is a hardlock too then?

It's an Insta loss

[keen pilot]

Did you take a hieroglyph? :0

[fickle mesa]

not a big deal in balatro but in like pokemon yeah

[thorny pebble]

Maybe

On golden needle

[vestal copper]

0 turns into 1 i think

[fickle mesa]

no this is more of a guaranteed loss except not really

[thorny pebble]

No you just die instantly I'm pretty sure

[fickle mesa]

if you reroll the boss and skip to the needle every time youll have 1 hand to use

[vestal copper]

oh well

[warm niche]

way too many runs where I've had so many double tags and then this happens

[fickle mesa]

and if you find a burglar ur fine

[thorny pebble]

Hmm but i don't have that

[thorny pebble]

True

[fickle mesa]

but even if you were about to die thats just "about to die" id say

truth be told the term "softlock" isnt really useful in roguelikes

unless its something like

[somber barn]

Binary be like

[fickle mesa]

"i will never be able to unlock purple stake"

which i dont think is a situation anybody will run into

[thorny pebble]

What if you could physically pull your run's seed out of the screen and smack the fuck out of it into giving you what you want

[somber barn]

Heh

[somber barn]

Heheh

[exotic wadi]

this was from the same build as earlier
the plant gutted me so hard bro

also use the seed on ghost deck for good results

[somber barn]

Photosynthesize, mf

[exotic wadi]

there is an invisi joker and ankh in the seed

[somber barn]

Why does the plant keep curbstomping everybody around here?

[exotic wadi]

my build was PERFECT with 2 polychrome hanging chads

[rugged bloom]

I recently beat orange stake on ghost deck with a trib, ankh, and canio

[somber barn]

Just bring weedkiller and bam, no more plant

[exotic wadi]

what did you use the ankh on

[rugged bloom]

Trib

[exotic wadi]

the plant shivers when chichot loses his temper

[rugged bloom]

Our adrians are shrinking

[somber barn]

Me when told to get in the flask by Little Nicky:

[coral tendon]

omd

[somber parcel]

Hello im fairly new going for my 1st high score run, i dont have many red seals on my kings just alot of gold and some silver cards, whats the best joker to blueprint ?

[patent sail]

hows my deck looking like

[fringe nebula]

baron and then copy mime for money

finally, a run that feels earned rather than just getting lucky

[patent sail]

who dies i want that blueprint

probably square right?

[fringe nebula]

space

[somber barn]

Space man nooooo

[fringe nebula]

or marble

[patent sail]

i have 250 chips per hand from stones so chips literally dont matter

[fringe nebula]

actually

bp copying marble is good

[somber parcel]

also should i pick up bloodstone if i find it or not enough hearts?

[patent sail]

square dies tbh

[fervent plover]

AAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

FFFKKKKK1!!!

[quiet kraken]

[hasty tendon]

🤔

[fervent plover]

3 negatives were money based. WHY!!

[fervent plover]

damn, take both

[somber barn]

Pot of greed

[fervent plover]

i had like 5 negatives, and 3 were like money givers. at least give me the retriggers type. but nahhh!!

[somber barn]

Game said get ya money up, not ya funny up

[fervent plover]

🫠

[somber barn]

Which seeing your name

Is absolutely hilarious

[fervent plover]

👊

[somber barn]

👊

The irony is like an onion

It has layers

[coral tendon]

What’s the mod that lets you multi select cards

[fervent plover]

👊

[quartz ember]

you are going for baron not bloodstone

[obsidian patrol]

if you have baron

dont go for bloodstone

[rich mauve]

okay great start

[somber barn]

[rich mauve]

I can gold rocket today

[fervent plover]

good card start so far

[fervent plover]

[coral tendon]

What’s the mod that lets you drag select cards

[somber barn]

[fervent plover]

just search for it bro, not many here use mods

[rich mauve]

cool

[fervent plover]

or just search yt

[patent sail]

yeah that was a rather funny build i might say

[fervent plover]

nah, got from skip tag, the 2nd one

[rich mauve]

ngl this could be one of the best starts I've ever had

also grabber appeared again

[rich mauve]

I missed it ante 1

[fervent plover]

bruh, what do u think would happen if i got chicot? will matador be useless then?

[fringe nebula]

yes

it will

[rich mauve]

okay okay

I believe I'm good to go

brainstorm from wraith

[fervent plover]

imagine playing face cards mostly, and then u get a joker that tells you to discard them. Just WOW!

AAH!!! WHY IS FACELESS NEGATIVEE!!

[rich mauve]

well goodbye seeing double

[fervent plover]

a bit of help guys

what should i replace smiley with?

playing face cards mostly

fortune is +8, jj is +6,

both are growing

personally feel like removing forturne

[patent sail]

game tryna tempt me with double negative skip wow

[somber barn]

Heart of the cards

[fickle mesa]

you can discard your faces early game using the fist for mult and then later on youll have enough face cards that you can discard them

[shell dagger]

fortune

[patent sail]

you know what they say about gambling

always gamble

[fickle mesa]

or just not use the photograph here, its not very good

[fervent plover]

why discard? how will discard help fist?

[somber barn]

Get rid of small numbers

[rugged bloom]

Holy shit I just went 3 for 3 on my spaceman

that's insane

[somber barn]

Spaceman ballin'

[patent sail]

i survived

lets see what i get

[somber barn]

Disappointment

[patent sail]

you were right

clever joker and ice cream

[fickle mesa]

[patent sail]

always gamble tho

[fervent plover]

[somber barn]

[patent sail]

[somber barn]

I ate it

Mb, homie

[patent sail]

[somber barn]

[patent sail]

bwst joker

[torpid bridge]

Nat

Natto

[somber barn]

O heavens

[torpid bridge]

Nat can be natto

[patent sail]

[somber barn]

Natalie Wily

Nathaniel Joker

[rugged bloom]

[somber barn]

how is natto

[somber barn]

I'm fighting urges rn

Must. Be. Better.

[patent sail]

broski what IS this

[torpid bridge]

Ice cream

[somber barn]

Isn't it like fermented red beans?

[patent sail]

i dont see ice or cream

[rugged bloom]

What the hell is that

[torpid bridge]

Natto

[rugged bloom]

This looks like beans dipped in string cheese

[torpid bridge]

Yall never heard of natto?

[rugged bloom]

Clearly not bro

sis

[somber barn]

That is mold

[torpid bridge]

Nah only bean

Yeah

Mold

[somber barn]

Moldy red beans

[rugged bloom]

Keep this shit in a laboratory 🙏

[somber barn]

But the mold is edible

Allegedly

[rich mauve]

okay this seed was really good

[torpid bridge]

Cheese is moldy

[rugged bloom]

What cheese have you been eating vro 🙏

[somber barn]

Bleu cheese

[rugged bloom]

I haven't eaten cheese in a long time

[somber barn]

Cheese IS fermented milk, so.. technically correct

[rugged bloom]

I live in a hostel in my college

and we aren't allowed to cook for ourselves

[somber barn]

Pfft, college

[fervent plover]

hmm.... need help in choosing again

[rugged bloom]

which is why i cooked here

[somber barn]

That sentence alone was too expensive for me

[fervent plover]

jj is +30 now

[rugged bloom]

if you're building towards a baron, ditch the photograph

[fervent plover]

i just got the baron recently, so could not build for it. cld go for it. but will lost the mult it got then

retrigger will also help photochad

[rugged bloom]

do you want to win the run or keep going into endless

[fervent plover]

should i selll fist?

[rugged bloom]

both of these will have different pathways

[hard mantle]

look at this photochad

every time it makes me sad

[rugged bloom]

what's your levels

[fervent plover]

winning is priority, will go endless nevertheless

[rugged bloom]

levels

[fervent plover]

next is head

[willow frost]

ok so this is what they call natto

yeah this looks awful im sorry

[fervent plover]

did not get properly, mb

[rugged bloom]

i'd recommend ditch the baron

i mean

you can keep it

[rose wolf]

got some cool runs today

[rugged bloom]

it's negative right

[rich mauve]

gg rocket

[rugged bloom]

Polychrome Burnt Joker is one of the creepiest looking cards of all time

[patent sail]

chat HOW am i still alive

[rose wolf]

i can see why

[rugged bloom]

Run held together by duct tape and prayers

[rich mauve]

by using all your hands?

[patent sail]

yess

[rich mauve]

and with hopes and dreams

[rugged bloom]

...say that again

[patent sail]

i have red seal glass king in case of emergency

[somber barn]

That again

[patent sail]

I GOT TEMPERANCE i have money now

[rugged bloom]

Good thing

[rich mauve]

uhh with determination?

[safe flower]

Bro thinks hes on the team

[rich mauve]

bro is the team

jimbo is life

[patent sail]

i might beat it

supernova on +52 is wild 😭

ITS VERDANT LEAF i have a chance

i can just sell a useless negative

[compact elm]

That +14 mult is carrying that run

The Big J

[keen pilot]

As I was playing the Inflation challenge, I realised how hilariously broken it is in some ways, and somehow I chose the most boring way to beat it xP

[fervent plover]

@rugged bloom should i ditch baron then?

or fist?

[manic vault]

how do i get better at balatro

[fervent plover]

i just came back and read the chat, so kinda lost on what you said

[patent sail]

watch doc

[compact elm]

Ngl I just watch roffle a lot

[patent sail]

do NOT watch roffle

[manic vault]

what/who is doc

[patent sail]

watch balala university series Balatro 101 or whatever it was

[compact elm]

Balatro University

DrSpectre

[patent sail]

balatro* sorry

[manic vault]

ohok

[patent sail]

he is literally john balatro

[manic vault]

thanks

[patent sail]

he has a balatro 101 series you might wanna check out

[compact elm]

But yeah doc's video is more in depth

[patent sail]

im at the final boss this shit might win

funny

woulf take if it wasnt barely alibe

[placid tusk]

Morning

[compact elm]

What do you have against roffle lol

[rugged bloom]

show your setup again

[fervent plover]

or shoudld i sell metador?

[patent sail]

hes just not as good icl, and i kinda dislike his community (the chat 🥀)

[fervent plover]

Good Morning

[compact elm]

I see

[rugged bloom]

sell raised fist i'd say

[fervent plover]

alright

[safe flower]

Roffle is hilarious. He's a great player. His gameplay is set up for deep endless runs that make good videos, and the way he plays shouldn't inform people that are just trying to learn or be better

[keen pilot]

I mean, he is a decent player, and Roffle Heavy channel has a lot of interesting videos that more often focus on winning the run than long term high score plays he posts on the main channel, but yeah, he plays very quickly through a lot of the game and often misses some stuff due to that.

[patent sail]

docs videos are better for learning the gaem

[safe flower]

You can watch roffle heavy for his shorter runs though

[patent sail]

which is waht that person wanted

[fervent plover]

good decision tht was

[compact elm]

Just speaking from experience

[patent sail]

what a funny ass run that was

[vestal copper]

roffle is cool content id say

[patent sail]

I WON

[vestal copper]

he does a lot of stuff just for the content tho

[vestal copper]

peam

[patent sail]

idk how i managed to live that long with this setup

[valid ether]

What is going on

[patent sail]

literally no xmult

[compact elm]

Because no purple stake debuff

[safe flower]

One bad hit, here we go

Chad, ill take it

[vestal copper]

black stake ig

[valid ether]

The question is will it kill me to take it

I think maybe

It will

[keen pilot]

Doc is really kinda inspiring, the way he makes gold stake look easy and making plays most people would not even think of

[vestal copper]

doc is too goated

[fervent plover]

won, now time for endless

[safe flower]

God damn it

[vestal copper]

bro looks at the first draw for like 5 mins analysing it

[compact elm]

I especially really like his gold stake winstreak videos

[fervent plover]

i pray tht i dont get plant

[compact elm]

Honestly far more impressive

[keen pilot]

Like using a rental burglar and selling it after getting extra hands!

[patent sail]

we could take perishable rental flower pot... maybe. or we could instead go for eternal rental reserved parking for future value.

[vestal copper]

bro does his job too well

overqualified

[patent sail]

he is john balatro

[vestal copper]

true

[safe flower]

Thanks gold stake

[patent sail]

bell got EVISCERATED

[safe flower]

Absolutely mogged

Hologram is at 10x

[vestal copper]

the least powerful holo certificate run:

[safe flower]

I used to not understand certificate

[valid ether]

I found liquidation and brainstorm an ante after 🫡

[safe flower]

I'm a total evangelist now

[valid ether]

Insane shops

[safe flower]

Certificate is pure value

Blue seals are amazing, gold is great, purple is great, red is a place to dump chariots from shop

[vestal copper]

deck bloat but with holo it peaks

[mighty hare]

What card do I take

[mighty hare]

Can you help me ^

[hard mantle]

i mean, id take that jack

[mighty hare]

does polychrome work when In hand?

[hard mantle]

no

[safe flower]

I need like way more information

In general blue is a good pick but it always depends

[mighty hare]

Y

[safe flower]

You know what fuck it just take the jack

[mighty hare]

I did and lost

[safe flower]

Okay well then it wouldn't have helped you anyway

[mighty hare]

I had a joker

which gave me a discard

[patent sail]

yeah you tend to usually have those

[fervent plover]

dunno if i should take madeness or not

throwback has x2.5 mult

[hard mantle]

i find its important to secure income asap

[mighty hare]

so dat one

[hard mantle]

yes, pick it

[patent sail]

and THIS is why you keep gambling the negative tags kids

and another one upcoming dont mind if i do

[hard mantle]

4 dollars isnt crazy long term, but its really nice early on + it requires no action on your part

[patent sail]

AND SOUL

[mighty hare]

my income is having hands and discards at end of round

[patent sail]

YORICK

YAYYYYY

[fervent plover]

[untold cipher]

Double scary face????

🤯

[mighty hare]

you smart right?

[fervent plover]

guys, should i take it? with something?

[patent sail]

anything but that

[mighty hare]

10$

[fervent plover]

yea, got it in the first ante.

[mighty hare]

I can't make interest b4 yall say save it

[untold cipher]

I would say get rid of holograms but you cannot get rid of holograms : (

[patent sail]

the negative tag nonbelievers will look at this and say "must have been the wind"

[fervent plover]

muults will be crazy if i take, dunno with which tho

[patent sail]

we cant play the game for you vro 😭

[fervent plover]

throwback is x2.75

[mighty hare]

yu uh

[fervent plover]

fr

[untold cipher]

Throwback is your best option if you really want it

But then again you're giving away 2.75

So I don't know

[fervent plover]

but holo is x5.75 so pretty good

[untold cipher]

Oh shiiii

YEAH

You should definitely do it

[fervent plover]

do what exactly?

sell throwback?

[untold cipher]

Get happy face

[untold cipher]

Yes

[fervent plover]

aight lesgoo

[untold cipher]

Because you already have a five times multiplier

[fervent plover]

uufff... so crazy

im lit jumping rn from excitement

its the best set i ever got till now

and its crimson heart next.

[untold cipher]

One of my favorite synergies is literally just happy face double face and scary face plus the one card that makes all cards face cards

Makes my heart feel so happy

LMAO

[fervent plover]

got sock as holographic

[ebon maple]

What is double face

[fervent plover]

double smiley face jokers

[ebon maple]

Sock?

[fervent plover]

heheh, very lucky one.

[untold cipher]

This

[fervent plover]

HAH!!!??? only 975k?

TF?

[ebon maple]

Sock

[fervent plover]

sock?

[untold cipher]

Sock.

[fervent plover]

i told you what he meant by double smiley

[ebon maple]

Its called sock and buskin i mean

[fervent plover]

i dont understand

i think u might have replied to the wrong message?

[hard mantle]

time to do a pair build

i tried flushes, and while theyre nice theyre too inconsistent for me on gold stake

[untold cipher]

Scream if you love checkered deck

[hard mantle]

absolutely insane pull

[ebon maple]

Noooo

Another one goes down

[untold cipher]

Gang you got super reacted with an X how does that make you feel...?

[hard mantle]

imagine wasting money on discord nitro to make an emoji shiny lol

[calm furnace]

greatest spaceman ever?

[calm furnace]

100% on hc and like 55% on 2 pair

too bad lost the run

[serene forge]

I didn't

I hate Bloodstone

[fervent plover]

Hmm... Flushes are really good
Just don't stick to it

[keen pilot]

yippee

[hard mantle]

personally i prefer starting with full houses but

[fervent plover]

Hmm... Try getting dice joker. Then I'll love it. But if

[serene forge]

no

[fervent plover]

Full house is most reliable

[hard mantle]

mmmmm, reliable? not really

its just easy to turn a full house build into a 3oak or pair build

they also work well with 2pair builds

[keen pilot]

Yeah, that's why people play pairs
Very consistent, and scales better than high card

[hard mantle]

i like high card as well, has the potential to be even more consistent than pair

but it requires you to have really good jokers

[manic vault]

what do i sell for soul

[hard mantle]

id prolly sell the gemstone

[fervent plover]

Might be for u. For me u feel fullhouse is the best

[vestal copper]

full house and reliable in one sentence

[manic vault]

the leftmost one?

[vestal copper]

maybe on abandoned

[manic vault]

+7 mult for each club

[hard mantle]

yeah, if you're doing a pair build its not the most useful card there

[manic vault]

ok thanks

[patent sail]

my game literally ate my yorick run 3:

[vestal copper]

sadge

[manic vault]

got yorick 😎

[patent sail]

i quit to main menu and the save disappeared

[manic vault]

thanks for the yorick lol

[patent sail]

OH ITS BACK yay

nevermind its not

now it crashes the game

[lapis lion]

pair joker

[manic vault]

rip

[lapis lion]

pair joker is worse that agate

[manic vault]

too late sold the agate

rip

[lapis lion]

what

noo

restart that run

legendary mistake

/joke

[serene forge]

is it

[hard mantle]

i only didnt say to sell the pair simply coz they dont have any other chips cards

[vestal copper]

it isnt

[lapis lion]

^^

guys

please

read the tone tags

[manic vault]

holy shit i got another soul card what do i sell now

[lapis lion]

if ur bus stop is low sell

[manic vault]

is +14 low

[patent sail]

blue stake feeling generous today huh

[fringe nebula]

or sell sly

[lapis lion]

you have abstract and yorick I don't think I need it

Specially since you can get trib or canio

[manic vault]

so sell bus?

[lapis lion]

prolly

[manic vault]

ok hoping for the best

[lapis lion]

then gets chicot

lmao

[manic vault]

got canio

[serene forge]

why would you ever sell bus

[lapis lion]

i never use bus

[serene forge]

yes lemme just throw away my only scaling mult option

[lapis lion]

abstract

[atomic trout]

I see why Plasma Deck can get one far 😨

[serene forge]

abstract is not real scaling

[atomic trout]

Unless Negative Tags with Anaglyph

[lapis lion]

Kinda is

[manic vault]

rip I'll finish this run and share the seed this seems pretty good

two souls in two arcana packs

[weak relic]

No

[lapis lion]

don't argue with me my highest is a very low e17

I've never gotten past ante 16 and never will

[weak relic]

XDDDDDD

[serene forge]

high scores mean nothing

[lapis lion]

my points are all wrong and ragged

[lapis lion]

no I'm not trying to flex I'm doing the opposite 😭

[silk cobalt]

[fervent plover]

Never got invisible joker. Wonder why

[lapis lion]

like arcana packs and celestial packs have their own theme song but what does spectral use

[lapis lion]

yo I think u need a photocard cuz u have hanging chad

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[manic kettle]

thank you cloud 9, very cool 👍 my highest cloud 9 while going for completionist++

[obtuse shuttle]

After doing everything in balatro, I concluded with this tier list, they are also ordered from best to worst, although in some categories with many it is difficult to organize, still everything is ordered by something :)

[uneven laurel]

I wish flash joker worked with just the word "reroll" including boss blind reroll, not just shop

And redcard should work with skipping blinds as well

[serene forge]

i hate your list a lot

[lapis lion]

this sucks

[uneven laurel]

Green joker in bad????
