[digital pewter]

unless you're just getting a lot of good eternal jokers which is a big doubt

[ancient gyro]

new gold stickers in 1 run

[flat warren]

Does ectoplasm -1 hand stay if neg goes on a perishable

[digital pewter]

oh wow

was it uhhhh

anaglyph?

[cloud sinew]

yes

[lament condor]

we have a run

[ancient gyro]

no

[wooden sluice]

we did it

[digital pewter]

dang

[digital pewter]

not even close

[wooden sluice]

im so cooked though anyway

[digital pewter]

true

[wooden sluice]

this run is chopped

[digital pewter]

now you simply need to get an instant ankh and eternal joker

[wooden sluice]

except im getting spectral pack ankh instantly so its fine

[wooden sluice]

yup

[digital pewter]

exactlyyyy

[wooden sluice]

not good

[void girder]

which joker should i bp

[digital pewter]

how do you get 10 new gold stickers in a non-anaglyph run though??

[lament ledge]

got 2 negative cards in a row when i dont have money.. fml

[digital pewter]

black deck with antimatter and three negatives?

[digital pewter]

one time a riffraff generated two negative jokers

crazy pull

[ancient gyro]

ghost

[digital pewter]

ah, yeah that makes more sense

[ancient gyro]

ignore the first ss

[void girder]

keep on lusty or move to baseball

[ancient gyro]

nvm it's 9, grimbo was already gold stickered

[cloud sinew]

lol

[digital pewter]

oh

still a W gold stake

[lament condor]

i mean i'd rather do this then play erratic deck

[wooden sluice]

i sold the run, forgot i could by noneternal scoring since it was boss

gg

[lament condor]

im going insane

[cloud sinew]

ABSTRACT

[ancient gyro]

good for like

4 rounds

at least

[lament ledge]

genuinly what the fuck is this ragebait

[cloud sinew]

ante 3 and you have $6

[ancient gyro]

one opened pack

[lament ledge]

yeah i openned the blue pack and took rare joker that sets everything to 0$ hoping i will get smth op 😭

never gamble again 🙊

[ancient gyro]

huh

[blazing kernel]

yo i got 1.1 early 🔥 🔥

[ancient gyro]

is jimbo going to be my last joker sticker on this profile 🥀

[obsidian osprey]

no way yall voted splash over bloodstone

[terse vale]

well

[ancient gyro]

splash has actual use cases

[cloud sinew]

9 people voted like 14 days ago

this was not us twin

[obsidian osprey]

oh my bad, didnt check the date

[granite heron]

i had a run where I had to pick up an eternal holographic splash to survive and then proceeded to find a stuntman

and suddenly splash was crazy because I could put enhancements on whatever the fuck i wanted and get value from them all the time

[serene forge]

splash does the thing it's meant to do

bloodstone doesn't

[granite heron]

no bloodstone is meant to ragebait by not triggering and its very good at that

/s

[tranquil steppe]

It is harder on black deck yea but amazing setup if they survive that first ante

[tranquil steppe]

There are a lot of bloodstone haters here

[copper temple]

hi

[tranquil steppe]

Hi

[still pike]

Hi

[foggy bane]

whats the strat for plasma deck cus i know its very different than any other deck

[hollow grove]

Chips matter more than mult on plasma, basically

[tranquil steppe]

Value chip jokers more than normal

Odd Todd is basically a +15 mult per hit on plasma for example

[granite heron]

Ok its more than that right

like suddenly "2x xmult" is not a flat 2x to score

[tranquil steppe]

Correct

You have to adjust your play style for sure

[grand lynx]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[granite heron]

You kind of need xmult to survive in the later antes so there is some point where you have to pivot from chips to xmult

...right?

[tranquil steppe]

Something x mult in plasma is worse than taking chips

Like bull for example can be super strong in plasma

[heady roost]

does a judgement in the non-perishable challenge create an eternal joker?

[granite heron]

Yeah, but like bull can't beat violet vessel

[serene forge]

chips good early game xmult good late game

chips not particularly good late game unless you can scale them really really hard with a wee or something

[tranquil steppe]

If you face VV in plasma well uh I hope you have mistaaaaaaa bones or Luchador

[lament hornet]

Help! How many cryptids to naneinf? Do I sell a mime to try this invis joker? Deck is all red seal gold kings except for two steel Im saving for the later pivot

[dawn sedge]

49

[serene forge]

I did have a bull that could beat vv before but that was with a blueprint and like 400 dollars and an arrowhead

[grand lynx]

blatro

blateoo

[lament hornet]

Thats doable >:) ahh Ive never gotten cryptid off 6th sense with a perkeo

Invis joker for mime or just march on?

[grand lynx]

🫃

[dawn sedge]

how it GENUINELY feels pulling a number out of my ass

[granite heron]

whats the naneinf threshold again?

[tranquil steppe]

See even Runic says bull is good

[serene forge]

not sure how many with only 2 copy jokers

invis might be worth trying but you want a showman I think

and more econ

[tranquil steppe]

Econ schmecon

[red scroll]

what's the play?

[grand lynx]

amogus

[tranquil steppe]

Kill dna for the soul

[serene forge]

sell photo

[tranquil steppe]

And pray it’s trib

[granite heron]

what level is your high card and you're duplicating red seal steel kings right

and what is your max hand size

[tranquil steppe]

Oh no photochad nvm

[red scroll]

still trying to set up glass on my kings, so holding off for now

[serene forge]

nothing really helps other than chicot or maybe perkeo

[tranquil steppe]

I misread what you had

[serene forge]

but photo is useless

so just sell photo

[red scroll]

it was yorick :/

[hollow grove]

This is exactly what I was about to say too, @red scroll

[serene forge]

why glass

you want gold and steel

[hollow grove]

Awww

[red scroll]

more scaling

[serene forge]

scaling for what

you have a baron

[red scroll]

...going further?

[fringe nebula]

glass is for idol/trib build

[serene forge]

so build into the baron

[fringe nebula]

for baron, you want steel

[serene forge]

with gold and steel

[hollow grove]

e308

[grand lynx]

🫃

[serene forge]

I hate Photograph

[grand lynx]

how do i do 5 of a kind levle up make

[hollow grove]

I think it should be uncommon

Chad can stay as a common though

[fringe nebula]

no

[grand lynx]

the uh 5 of kind

[hollow grove]

You start seeing the planets being offered once you play 5oak hand

[grand lynx]

🫃 👍

[serene forge]

what would that solve

you didn't spoiler

[wintry ice]

(balatrodle)

[grand lynx]

🫃 is the new blatro logo

[fringe nebula]

it's too late now

[hollow grove]

I'm a bit new here and I don't know what this emoji means

[slate portal]

what lets u get more than 5 joker slots

[serene forge]

it's fine some guy earlier spoiled me because he got mad at me telling him to spoiler tag his balatrodles

and did the same thing yesterday too

[grand lynx]

pregnant man

[wintry ice]

why would they do that

block worthy behaviour

[hollow grove]

Yes

But why

What is it implying

[fringe nebula]

antimatter

[serene forge]

undeveloped frontal cortex

[grand lynx]

i dont know ask hornet they started it

[red scroll]

unfortunately did not matter

[manic zealot]

funny, also I just noticed I have an extra joker slot lmao

[wintry ice]

transmasc representation

[serene forge]

dude what

[faint linden]

This is why we like Luchador

[serene forge]

why'd you pick up an idol

what

[manic zealot]

cert being the goat once again

[lyric karma]

Luchador my goat

[serene forge]

certificate be bad challenge (impossible)

[fringe nebula]

i love luchador and bones

[faint linden]

Yorick is my favorite joker

[grand lynx]

multi x us is op they should remove it

[fringe nebula]

@still pike stop it

[wintry ice]

lurker asked to stop lurking

[granite heron]

you wanna know what's crazy? in that setup its 110 kings to naneinf on their own, so with an 8 card hand of kings plus the giant castle chip bump, 49 is going to be like exactly 1 or 2 cryptids off of naneinf

[serene forge]

just block and they can't react anymore

[grand lynx]

🫃 is no meme its not funny anymore we overused it

[still pike]

What did I do? im not chatting im in a run trying not to lose

[dawn sedge]

im just like that

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[faint linden]

Had Photochad, Castle, and Gros Michel carry me through Orange Stake Checkered

[hollow grove]

Good idea

[faint linden]

It wouldn't die and I wanted Cavendish

[granite heron]

that guy is gonna hit e307 and have a very bad day and also believe that you made a genuine math error and weren't trolling

crazy

[fringe nebula]

e307 is cooler than e308

honestly

[hollow grove]

That's a good point

Takes skill to get as close to naninf as possible but not actually reach it

[granite heron]

i would go for exactly e300 personally

[faint linden]

I know this community, so I'd like to use mods to hit e621 and see the communal crashout

[granite heron]

i mean i wouldn't really count "doing math" as a game skill but like you do have to plan a lot

[cosmic sun]

lil classic

[light brook]

what’s my goat constellation at

[cosmic sun]

3x something

[light brook]

w

[hollow grove]

Yes and no?

The order of operations and certain interactions in this game are hard to understand at times

At least to me

Only started playing this year

But also, you have to actually pull it off

Play the right cards, do the right things, not fuck up and discard when you meant to play a hand

etc

[tranquil steppe]

It is the GOAT

[tranquil steppe]

Yes

If everything is multiplication and there are no jokers that effect that, then order of operations doesn’t matter

[shell dagger]

its rare that everything is multiplication

[serene forge]

I hate Baron

[sharp plank]

I hate idol

[lyric karma]

Atp what joker do you not hate

[wintry ice]

cert

[sharp plank]

Blueprint

[unborn cliff]

I hate 8 ball

[serene forge]

red card

[serene forge]

kirbyfan647 alt

[wintry ice]

i 8 ball

oh wait

[unborn cliff]

why you rental

[wintry ice]

polychrome lusty joker

[unborn cliff]

did it

[lament hornet]

First naneinf done with 100 red seal steels in hand

[hollow grove]

Rude 😤

Are you going to take it anyway?

[unborn cliff]

died on the first fucking blind award

NEVER chase the straight

[hollow grove]

RIP

[unborn cliff]

i took lusty and died because there are no jokers in my game

[hollow grove]

Sounds like a tough seed

[wintry ice]

first to ever do it

[merry swift]

why would you take lusty joker and go for straights 😭

[light brook]

been there on white stake once 😞

[unborn cliff]

are you stupid

[wintry ice]

he restarted

[unborn cliff]

that was rude sorry

[merry swift]

oh don't worry it's okay

[unborn cliff]

hmm

this appears to be a """"'run"""""

[merry swift]

photograph next shop

[unborn cliff]

surely

[merry swift]

bro a clean trading card in ante 2 is so nice

non rental non perishable

[hollow grove]

Going for straights is easier once you have 3 consecutive cards

Like you have 8,9,10

Look for 67 or QJ

I've had better ante 1s now that I'm at least open to playing straights

But yeah I do sometimes die going for them, but also die looking for 5th card in a flush

[foggy bane]

funny

[unborn cliff]

dude

[light brook]

look for WHAT or QJ

[unborn cliff]

who do i execute.....

[merry swift]

trust

[unborn cliff]

who goes

[merry swift]

what hand are you playing

I would take erosion away

[light brook]

spawn an ecto from nowhere

[merry swift]

wait no

you got trading card

blue joker

[unborn cliff]

i will surely not be punished

[hollow grove]

Don't make me say it, bad example

[unborn cliff]

i could NEVER be planted right

[merry swift]

blue joker and trading card are enemies

[unborn cliff]

[light brook]

the humble next ante:

[unborn cliff]

its ante 3 rn

folk....

[light brook]

plants one of the bosses that don’t show up till ante 5 right

[unborn cliff]

4

[light brook]

good luck on ante 5 speedblitz…

[cloud sinew]

it can show up ante 4

[harsh relic]

business carry

[merry swift]

bro don't look behind you

[unborn cliff]

infuriating

[cloud sinew]

goodbye trading card

wait

honestly bye smiley

[unborn cliff]

perishable i fear

[cloud sinew]

5 rounds of double econ

[merry swift]

yeah but more money

[unborn cliff]

i already skipped him

[cloud sinew]

L

[light brook]

correct i predict ante 5 will be bad for him though

[buoyant ridge]

is it just me or does the plasma deck "dong" sound sounds similar to the whatsapp notification

[merry swift]

rest in piece

[unborn cliff]

kid named no base mult

[cloud sinew]

kid named x64

[serene forge]

Remove Smiley Face

[cloud sinew]

also "no base mult" you have incredible econ

[unborn cliff]

timer

i skipped blueprint

[serene forge]

skill issue

[cloud sinew]

youre not spending well if you have no base mult

[wintry ice]

what

[serene forge]

what are you doing

you need one thing with photochad and you don't have it

[unborn cliff]

IM TRYING........

[serene forge]

wait you

you fucking petro'd

[hollow grove]

So rude of half joker to be perishable /jk

[unborn cliff]

sorry

[cloud sinew]

holy shit

[unborn cliff]

i don't deserve to win this

[cloud sinew]

youre back 2 antes and you still havent got any base mult

[unborn cliff]

i'm trying to see how badly i can play

trust me bro

[cloud sinew]

5 ANTES AND YOU HAVE NO BASE MULT

[sharp plank]

What the fuck does that mean

[serene forge]

not enough bloodstone

[cloud sinew]

petroglyph

[unborn cliff]

smirk

[cloud sinew]

omg hi spoker

[willow frost]

are you going to skip this one

[unborn cliff]

obbylicks IS a free win...

[serene forge]

well there's your base mult

[unborn cliff]

space joker though.........

i took spoker

[merry swift]

watch space joker not hit the entire run

[serene forge]

should've skipped

to play badly

[willow frost]

yeah i honestly thought he wouldve

[unborn cliff]

dude.... fuck yes

[cloud sinew]

lose right now

or are you trying to see how badly you can play and still win

[unborn cliff]

do i take 2x mult

[unborn cliff]

kind of

[merry swift]

what hand are you playing

[serene forge]

skill issue

[light brook]

where are the flush levels twin

[willow frost]

thats not what they meant lol

[light brook]

flush is the best

[unborn cliff]

i found 8 plutos so hc i fear

[merry swift]

I wouldn't take it lol

[willow frost]

HOLY BLUNDER

[unborn cliff]

civilian

[merry swift]

if it was 3oak or 4oak etc you could get more money

[unborn cliff]

it's more score over bc

[light brook]

GUYS ITS A JOKE I KNOW PAIRS ARE BETTER

[unborn cliff]

i took sock

[fringe nebula]

nah, flush is better than pairs

[unborn cliff]

i'm excited to lose

[merry swift]

it's more score yes but do you need it this urgent?

[light brook]

wait actually what do yall think is the worst hand

[unborn cliff]

i'm only like 10k over rn it's kind of urgent

[unborn cliff]

flush

[fringe nebula]

straight flush

[merry swift]

makes sense!

[light brook]

wouldn’t straight flush be worse

[unborn cliff]

10k over WITH sock

[merry swift]

straight flush is fun but too much deck fixing necessary while you could be getting 5oak

or flush five even

[cloud sinew]

flush five

[light brook]

flush is buns because there aren’t enough jokers to synergize with it

[cloud sinew]

?

flush only has jokers p much

wdym "not enough jokers"

[cloud sinew]

4 sin jokers, 4 gem jokers, AJ, etc

[light brook]

there’s like 3 viable ones

[hollow grove]

3oak

It's just so mediocre

Maybe I'm just not good at playing it

Don't like full house either unless I want to play lucky cards etc

[light brook]

fair i hadn’t thought of the sin jokers

[cloud sinew]

you think that 3oak is worse than all the secret hands and straight flush?

[lyric karma]

How the hell im going this far

[unborn cliff]

i may have spiked a little

[light brook]

i’m in a weird relationship with flushes rn so forgive any takes i have lol

[serene forge]

full hourse

[cloud sinew]

same question applies to you

[serene forge]

yes I do

[cloud sinew]

youre not being sincere

[serene forge]

I hate Full Hourse

[hollow grove]

Yes at least for now

I'm a long way from c++

[cloud sinew]

do you use the secret hands/strush more often than you use 3oak (within ante 8)

[wintry ice]

being mediocre is better than having no use cases

[serene forge]

I can't think of when id ever want to spec into full hourse

[lyric karma]

3oak is pretty good but when you build towards it you end up going 4oak and 5oak/flush five

[hollow grove]

In terms of number of hands played, no

But in terms of them helping me to win, yes

[sharp plank]

Me neither

[lyric karma]

for early game at least is reliable

[cloud sinew]

wdym "in terms of them helping me to win"? do you mean youve won more runs as a result of using the secret hands rather than 3oak?

[hollow grove]

Yes exactly so it feels bad to dump levels in 3

[serene forge]

how many times have you won with straight flushes

[willow frost]

why are we just sending screenshots of random shit lmao

[serene forge]

uhh no

[cloud sinew]

building towards 5oak/flush five isnt really a fair argument

[grand lynx]

we aint

there verry important

[cloud sinew]

stop doing it twin

[serene forge]

3oak is easier to draw than all of those

[unborn cliff]

this win was not earned in the slightest

[serene forge]

and still scales efficiently

[fringe nebula]

stop it

[grand lynx]

ok

[serene forge]

thats also why 4oak is better than 5oak

[brave goblet]

but consider, you can slap on one extra glass card on the 5oak

[hollow grove]

Yes

I don't really play 3oak

Again, this is probably a skill issue on my part

I prefer two pair

[fringe nebula]

ok but you don't need 5oak to win 8 ante run

[serene forge]

5oak is like second worst imo

[lyric karma]

hm

[serene forge]

maybe for whatever reason you really need the higher base mult idk

[cloud sinew]

i dont need 5 glass in my 5oak build

[lyric karma]

why tho

[brave goblet]

why don't you

[cloud sinew]

because overscoring doesnt give me anything

[lyric karma]

Fair

[brave goblet]

soooomeone doesn't know how to have fuuuuun

[sharp plank]

Flush five outclasses it in every way

[serene forge]

flush five > 5oak anyways

[cloud sinew]

we're not arguing fun

we're arguing balance

[wintry ice]

3oak is better for card sharp and most trio runs imo

[lyric karma]

this

[serene forge]

"I play for fun" final bosses

[cosmic sun]

Move over Balatro player, guy who plays for fun is speaking

[cloud sinew]

also I know how to have fun, I play videogames with most of my free time lol

[hollow grove]

Sure you don't need it but it's nice to play 5 cards if they're red seal lucky etc

[fringe nebula]

lmao

[serene forge]

ong it's like the guy who said to unlock 5oak to get business card value

[brave goblet]

ong

and not like a bunch of pairs before finishing off the blind

[light brook]

but guyssss balatro is about having funnn not how good your hands are

[brave goblet]

5oak business card strats

[light brook]

i was then executed

[brazen island]

Goated canio run. There was a clean pareidolia early too but I didn’t even need it since I had tons of face cards

[light brook]

NOT the wind bro ✌️

[serene forge]

I was then executed

[fringe nebula]

fork i saw that

[brazen island]

Balatro is about learning how math doesn’t exist and numbers are vibes based

[fringe nebula]

based

[brave goblet]

trib is so lame, it's only like a x4 on a pair and it happens before the joker mults come in, literally a worse loyalty card

[willow frost]

or about installing 20 "qol" mods that basically play the game for you

[cosmic sun]

"I play for fun" lowkey one of the biggest red flags sometimes

[brazen island]

Don’t you dare say something is worse than loyalty card. I will not hear this slander about the undisputed GOAT of being a horrible joker

[light brook]

where does flowerpot rank on your list

[brazen island]

Handy is necessary tho. Now that I can click and drag I can never go back

[brazen island]

It’s up there, top 10 worst joker for sure. Not sure which spot exactly tho

[cosmic sun]

The people who actually play for fun are like your coworkers and normal people not some guy defending Idol tooth and nail on a discord for 20 hours

[brazen island]

The people who play for fun are the people on the reddit who make memes about how much they love flushes

[willow frost]

bro just said coworkers to discord users

[cosmic sun]

erm guys coworker core

[light brook]

can we not i’m scared of that word

[cosmic sun]

ah sorry

j*b

[light brook]

AAAHH

[sharp plank]

Get a job

[light brook]

JESUS GUYS CHILL

i take pride in being a person who plays for fun

[serene forge]

I have an interview in five days

[cosmic sun]

When you're losing an argument so you hit your opponent with "I play for fun" and they disintegrate

[brave goblet]

I don't, I'm a sweatmaxxer 5000 (a reference to how many mercury cards I've used)

[echo owl]

I lost my 40 hours of progress what do I do

[sharp plank]

Fuck tenor is banned. I have the perfect gif

[cosmic sun]

This one goes out to Kirby

[brave goblet]

beat it again faster with all your knowledge

[light brook]

nothing you can do to get it back

lock in ig

[brazen island]

Brother trust me if you really love this game that 40 hours will be a drop in the bucket by the time you’re done with it. Keep pressing on

[potent gale]

man

[echo owl]

Yes I’ve tried literally fucking everything

[brave goblet]

TOO GIMMICKY

LMAOOOOOO

[brazen island]

No hit the road hold r

[brave goblet]

being FORCED to play face cards

[echo owl]

40 hours is a lot my most played game has like 230

[cosmic sun]

"Yo actually Pareidoila is so good"

[light brook]

sorry bro best of luck getting back to were you were

[echo owl]

Thanks

[brazen island]

I know it stings to lose it, but just start playing again despite that feeling of not even wanting to play anymore and the spark will come back

[echo owl]

Ok thanks

[brazen island]

And you’re better at the game now so it’ll be easier to get where you were

Those first 40-50 hours make you learn a TON

[potent gale]

dw this run im tryna unlock it

[brazen island]

Don’t listen to the haters it’s a goated xmult joker

[willow frost]

by the time youre done with this game you might have more than 230 on it

dont worry about it

[brave goblet]

don't forget to exit to main menu and start up the run again to unlock the best xmult joker in the whole game

[brazen island]

Before Balatro my most played game was terraria with like ~400 hours which I’ve played since I was a kid, and one day I woke up and had hit 1000+ on Balatro. Kinda just happens

[brazen island]

Unironically one of the best

Hit the road > constellation

Hologram is better I’ll concede that

[icy nimbus]

Hey chat rate my

AAAAAAAAA

[brazen island]

Missing an H of spades to really bring it all together. 8/10

Hit the road is reliable you guys just don’t know how to preemptively deck build

[wintry ice]

htr isn't that bad

[brave goblet]

htr is fine

[brazen island]

Always go queens jacks 9s and 8s of spades when you don’t have something to build towards and you’ll be set

[brave goblet]

it is however, notably a lot less braindead than the typical xmulters

[brazen island]

Or clubs

[wintry ice]

i like htr's brand of gimmicky

[brazen island]

Hit the road is the most fun xmult joker

And it’s super powerful yall are just haters

[wintry ice]

i'd rather go with 2s than go with 8s

[brave goblet]

8balling

8 ball is common, wee is rare, checkmate

[potent gale]

does it keep its multipied mult throuhgout the antes?

[brave goblet]

and consider, if you 8ball, you can get tarots to rapidly swithc to 2s

[zinc zephyr]

Type shit?

[brave goblet]

it can't even keep its multiplied mult after a round

[potent gale]

oh :(

[wintry ice]

true

[brave goblet]

htr is just a jacked up mystic summit 🧠 🧠

[wintry ice]

shit?

[brave goblet]

no matador value on the last hand huh

[cosmic sun]

yup it's bad

soooooo bad

[brazen island]

I often like to build tens since they’re not face cards and can be strengthened into jacks

[cosmic sun]

soooooooooooooooo bad

[brave goblet]

I don't really like jacks that much, just queens and 9s for me

[brazen island]

Matador is what loyalty card should have been

[brave goblet]

that ice cream and popcorn is gonna make you win in just one hand lmao

[cosmic sun]

whoops I scored too much

[brave goblet]

matadors can't catch bulls when they're full

[brazen island]

I still think loyalty card should create a coupon tag after every boss blind

[cosmic sun]

matador luchador is real doomed yaoi

[brave goblet]

slightly worse astronomer type beat

[lyric karma]

Swash + egg tho

[brazen island]

Matador is a gold digger who waits for luchador to die to get a life insurance payout

Or I guess it’s the other way around actually

[willow frost]

yyeah after luchador dies matadors just sitting there lol

[brazen island]

Luchador is a devoted wife who mourns the loss of her husband and stops doing anything out of depression

[echo owl]

Ok thanks

[willow frost]

i know that didnt really help but just letting you know lmao

[brave goblet]

quick throw away 3 hands for $24

(dies cause can't one-shot)

[brazen island]

Matador value > winning. Gotta take the rarer event when you can

[cosmic sun]

I'm lowkey autopiloting and forgot how much I was scoring

[willow frost]

your icecream wont last forever

[cosmic sun]

Just keep giving me Matador blinds

[brave goblet]

matadoring

hope you're putting the money to good use

[hollow grove]

Fingers or eternal Todd?

For black deck first buffoon pack

[cosmic sun]

The Toddster

[cursive lion]

hmm

[lofty sapphire]

any advice for this? only unlock im missing except for the legendaries

[quaint stag]

todd is better overall

[cursive lion]

did you level up anything?

if you are going for a flush/straight build four fingers might've be worth it

[quaint stag]

stuntman + manacle + ecto got me over the mark

[cursive lion]

especially on black deck and blue stake

[foggy bane]

guys matador just actually saved my econ i sincerely take back anything i said about it beign useless

[tidal flame]

I’m continuing the God run from yesterday

[hollow grove]

Yeah I went with Todd

[tidal flame]

Idk what to get

[cursive lion]

what's your stake?

and your deck

[cursive lion]

i think the main problem with matador is that its just confusing even as someone that made some blinds

[tidal flame]

Purple stake

[cursive lion]

hmm

[lofty sapphire]

ty

[cursive lion]

can we see your deck

[quaint stag]

made some blinds? /genq

[lofty sapphire]

based nickname btw

[tidal flame]

I can’t decide between order and hologram

[tidal flame]

I added 0 cards but I’m planning on adding some

[cursive lion]

yeah but honestly i am starting to think modding balatro isn't for me at least on my own

[cursive lion]

hologram than

[quaint stag]

ah thats fair

hologram is goated as hell tbh

[cursive lion]

like maybe if i worked in a group it would go more smoothly

hit me up i guess

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[quaint stag]

would i get shot if i said canio is the best xmult scaling joker or are we yorick maxxing here

[cursive lion]

yess, while lucky cat is my favourite xmult joker, and obelisk is really good, for casual plays, constellation and hologram are the best xmult jokers

[hollow atlas]

is this too many flushes?

[cursive lion]

for legendaries, i would it depends on which run you are doing

[cerulean zenith]

Oh my god bruh

[cursive lion]

if you are doing glass cards or something canio but if you are doing discarding yorick

[quaint stag]

bros plumber hates when you call

[tidal flame]

I lost the run

[cursive lion]

its fine

[quaint stag]

on blue stake and above ill always prefer canio tbh

[wintry ice]

yorick is the only competitor

[tidal flame]

Boss was the mouth and I couldn’t get another straight

[cursive lion]

i think the high card came from dna

[cursive lion]

def since you loss one discard sadly

poor yorick he can't have ANYTHING

[hollow atlas]

1474 high card and yet you're at 2.19e20

😭😭😭

[quaint stag]

yorick is consistent though

[tidal flame]

Seed is 4K35YK7U

[cursive lion]

i think that was one of my legendary joker runs

[tidal flame]

Skip the 2nd blind for holographic blueprint

[cursive lion]

or got lucky with an early hologram or lucky cat

[quaint stag]

ive had runs ive died where i didnt see any immolates/hanged man/glass didnt break/trading card didnt show up and canio didnt scale

at least with yorick i can get 1x per ante

[cursive lion]

for completionist+ do you play another run if it doesn't unlock the first time

[quaint stag]

i think?

ive heard and seen mobile balatro can be buggy if thats what you're on

[cursive lion]

if it makes you feel better, i tend to play flushes or straights first few antes

depending on my deck or jokers i either stick with flushes or straights, or move to two pairs/full houses, pairs, or high cards

[quaint stag]

tbh everyone plays high flushes/straights in the first ante

[cursive lion]

i mean they are pretty strong and reliable

[quaint stag]

ive yet to see people make straights consistently work

especially towards high antes and high stakes

[lyric karma]

tbh ive never got e score

[quaint stag]

yo btw where do you get icons near your name

[cursive lion]

well my first gold stake (the achivement i got was early because i was testing a stake i added woops) was a plasma deck with like four eternal polychrome runners

[wintry ice]

it's still 1.3x per ante with no real cost

[quaint stag]

nvmd found it

my highest score on mobile is e19

[cursive lion]

it was a cracked seed like several ankhs and a judgement pull of an INVISIBLE CUSSING JOKER man

[quaint stag]

on my pc save ill check

[lofty sapphire]

im still so mad that my only run where i was hitting e scores was on black deck

[quaint stag]

on pc its e11

[quaint stag]

black deck blue stake and above is genuinely painful

[lofty sapphire]

yeah not looking foward to it

that same run was the first run i actually beat it without a stake LOL

[cursive lion]

oh yeah i mainly play on steam/pc i just techincally have balatro on ios since its on apple arcade

[waxen quartz]

black deck is leave ante 1 with enough scoring to survive ante 2 and a good econ joker

[quaint stag]

see at least when other runs mess with your base moveset like painted giving you +2 handsize but 1 less joker thats managable

black deck is a pipe to the ankles

[quaint stag]

im ngl its just more convenient to play balatro on mobile

[cursive lion]

im cracked

[lofty sapphire]

you get 17% more jokers at the cost of 25% less hands it doesnt make sense

[waxen quartz]

for the question above, straights aren't consistent until you get your deck small enough to see all your cards

[lofty sapphire]

hands are so much more valuable inherently

[quaint stag]

the 1 less dollar hurts so bad

[waxen quartz]

they scale really well though, and are "mostly" safe

[lofty sapphire]

it really does

[ancient gyro]

ight

[cursive lion]

true true thats one of the nice parts of moblie and portable console gaming, way more convenient to play

[quaint stag]

goated

[ancient gyro]

drag and drop

[quaint stag]

it kinda feels more natural in a way

[runic mulch]

does anyone have a good ghost deck perkeo naneinf seed? The seed finder I'm using doesn't seem to work with the spectral cards in the shop

[wintry ice]

whuh

[quaint stag]

in a way balatro is like the most gamey game ive ever played if that makes sense

[ancient gyro]

huwh

[wintry ice]

is this assuming you get ecto or antimatter or

[quaint stag]

its something that i could just play for the sake of it with enjoyment everytime

[lofty sapphire]

?

[tall owl]

just about gg time

[lofty sapphire]

you get 1 extra joker slot at the cost of 1 hand

i meant 20% more not 17

[wintry ice]

oh

[waxen quartz]

https://miaklwalker.github.io/Blueprint/?seed=1Z61KBG&deck=Ghost+Deck&antes=8&stake=White+Stake

[wintry ice]

yeah the deck is made to be hard

[waxen quartz]

it's the ante 5 naninf seed. should be easy enough to figure out the steps

[tall owl]

gg

[ancient gyro]

oh im two jokers away from completing black++

ugh do i finish it today

[wintry ice]

idk you do you

do plasma c++ next

[waxen quartz]

that sounds painful

[ancient gyro]

id be down

[waxen quartz]

like reroll for trib painful

[cursive lion]

is it some of the perishable food items

[ancient gyro]

no

all of those are done

[wintry ice]

what did you leave for last

[ancient gyro]

jimbo

banner

💔

[wintry ice]

oh that should be easy

[waxen quartz]

at least easy to find. play anaglyph and hit that late ante negative tag...it's about once every 3 runs

[ancient gyro]

order was my last rare

[lofty sapphire]

DUDE

i just took the spectral card

that destroys 5 cards for 20

with canio

and hit all 4 in the hand i was given

[ancient gyro]

I don't have gs unlocked on this profile on that deck

[wicked rover]

i forgot this happened

[waxen quartz]

ya, really think stakes should unlock like other things. playing all the decks on all stakes gets tedious

[ancient gyro]

well I did it on purpose

[hollow atlas]

thank God that it isn't an eternal one

[wicked rover]

i dont know that that means ive not beaten white steak once

[cursive lion]

i mean hold on

[fringe nebula]

time to savescum

[snow current]

How can I get this run to naneinf my deck is only red seal gold poly kings

[sleek valley]

Can't get past orange stake on painted deck

[brave goblet]

I mean technically the stakes unlock the other decks lmao

[fringe nebula]

get an ectoplasm

[cursive lion]

well on the challange non-perishable and black stake and beyond you can get "eternal" jokers

[wicked rover]

also i beat it in one turn buy spamming my top cards

[cursive lion]

you can't sell nor destory it

[brave goblet]

take more advatange of the hand size for blue seals and bigger hands

and you can still pairmax on painted for that same reason

[sleek valley]

I do when I can, but they just haven't been showing up

[brave goblet]

no muhnee

[fringe nebula]

you want 4 blueprints, mime, baron, and burglar at ante 25

you still don't have ectoplasm there

[sleek valley]

And when they do, I get killed by a boss im not set up to beat.

[brave goblet]

I haven't played painted in AGES though so idk

[quaint stag]

blue seals are broken abuse them before thunk evaporates them

[runic mulch]

thanks

[cursive lion]

malverk idea: all items but its obama

[sleek valley]

Yeah, having fewer joker spots means its harder to balance econ and scoring

[brave goblet]

all in on devil

[sleek valley]

Yeah, I should probably use more gold. That i can manage.

[quaint stag]

i might be dumb but i hope thunk changes the way some things are worded

[brave goblet]

that's fine

[ancient gyro]

well he's said that it'll still be the strongest overall seal if the current rework idea goes through

[quaint stag]

specifically "-1 hand every round" like it sounds like a constant 1 hand drain instead of just losing 1 hand permanently

[cursive lion]

lowkey this is why i didn't pick up troublator because i thought it takes away one hand away per round 😭

[wicked rover]

i like face card jokers

[brave goblet]

troublator

[quaint stag]

the wording is really weird

[cursive lion]

the plant is coming

[brave goblet]

I would say I hope the plant gets you but that's just white stake so you'll be fine

[wicked rover]

the what?

[brave goblet]

you'll know when you run into it

[brave goblet]

🪴

[cyan briar]

"You know why the plant debuffs face cards? Because plants don’t have faces That was my logic lmao" - LocalThunk in the Balatro Discord

[wicked rover]

directors cut

[brave goblet]

subconsciously he meant that when you run into the plant, your run falls flat, i.e. a faceplant

[quaint stag]

from plant to eye

💔

[wicked rover]

or that one legendary joker who i forgot the name of

[quaint stag]

CHIGOAT

[cursive lion]

how he felt saying that:

[brave goblet]

i am become plant, destroyer of face

[cursive lion]

going to get some progress done on c++ on black deck

[lofty sapphire]

dont yall just love playing games waiting for that 1 specific card to appear in your shop

oh what joy and whimsy

[cursive lion]

just be more adaptable

[lofty sapphire]

no i need stuntman

im trying to reduce my hand size to 5

lmao

[sleek valley]

Why 5 specifically?

[cursive lion]

for me my strategy was getting lucky with some ectoplasms lol

[fringe nebula]

play ghost deck

[cursive lion]

the tier 2 voucher for hand size is locked behind a hand size of 5 and below to unlock

[lofty sapphire]

for the unlock

[sleek valley]

I think i just happened to do that naturally in a run.

[cursive lion]

yeah that usually what happens

[zinc hawk]

ight

[sleek valley]

I wasnt going for it, it just happens

[lofty sapphire]

why ghost deck

[calm sapphire]

negative skip 🥀

[cursive lion]

spectral cards appear in shop

[zinc hawk]

rare skip round 1 aktually

[fringe nebula]

you have a higher chance to find ouija and ectoplasm

[cursive lion]

also you can find an ankh or wraith (invisible joker) for a stuntman

[lofty sapphire]

ah ic

good comms

[calm sapphire]

ah

less bad but still mid

[cursive lion]

you got a two for one deal

[tall owl]

streamer luck and im not even streaming

lol

[cursive lion]

honestly negative tags i get if im already scaled up or on analgyth

[zinc hawk]

this

[cursive lion]

he needs lucky cats to live

[calm sapphire]

negative tags are fun for far endless runs

[tall owl]

ngl i might die anyways cause i got no funds 💔

[lost vault]

mrow

[calm sapphire]

sometimes you get unlucky and end up with 50 random skips

[lost vault]

e3367

[cursive lion]

negative mr bones ❤️

[calm sapphire]

yez

unseeded

random seed

perkeoless

[lost vault]

crazy work

[calm sapphire]

1 save state, 1e2235 legit tho

[south oasis]

err im going for naninf unseeded is it worth taking this cola

and if so what do i sell lol

[calm sapphire]

yes and sell brainstorm prob

[south oasis]

alr

[lost vault]

yah

wouldnt a dna be better than a braunstorm

[calm sapphire]

maybe

[south oasis]

probably

[calm sapphire]

get som money instead

youre poor asf

[lost vault]

true

get some golds gng

[calm sapphire]

you're porb overscoring asf rn

[south oasis]

yes i am

i have a bunch of golds i think im just rerolling a lot

lol

[calm sapphire]

get a rebate

bonus cash

skip for vouchers, unless you got all you need

then spectral maybe

[south oasis]

nowhere near what i need ye

i dont have director's cut yet

or palette

[calm sapphire]

rough

unlucky

remember seance exists

it's the goat of spectrals

[south oasis]

lol

[willow frost]

at ante 15?

[south oasis]

nah seance goat for any ante fr

[calm sapphire]

i mean the earlier you get spectrals the better

its just hard asf to set up

[willow frost]

yes

[nova junco]

Straight flushes best hand in the game

[calm sapphire]

oh hell nah

lets not go that far

[nova junco]

I mean yeah that's true but if it's early enough then it's not that bad with a few suit change tarots

[calm sapphire]

in endless where you prob already have a full king build

[south oasis]

im not really experienced with naninfing so im definitely making some mistakes atm lol

[calm sapphire]

unless you kept som from the start

you can run up to 3 ectoplasms with DNA or bulglar

4 if youre feeling really wonky

prob no tho bc you gotta get past a24

[ancient gyro]

not for serpent burger naneinf

[south oasis]

found a mail in yay

econ be bussin

[ember glen]

I DID IT
I FUCKING DID IT
ALL STAKES ANAGLYPH SKIP ONLY

[calm sapphire]

?

[south oasis]

these vouchers are gonna kill me

[calm sapphire]

3 ectos are great for serpent burger

[glad viper]

YOU

[calm sapphire]

4 ecots even better for serpent burger

[ember glen]

ME

[glad viper]

GOOD JOB

[ember glen]

THANK YOU

[calm sapphire]

but youre dead to a24 if you do 4 too early

[ember glen]

fitting build

[south oasis]

lawl

[ember glen]

oh also popcorn sticker

nice!

[south oasis]

thats crazy

[hollow grove]

What did you find the most helpful tags were for that?

[ancient gyro]

yeah thats the problem

[south oasis]

drunkard + ramen is really funny

[near marlin]

decay popcorn

[ember glen]

the econ tags 100%

[calm sapphire]

rate mine

[calm sapphire]

3 is better than 2 tho

for a24

[ember glen]

fr 🙏
i got it at the ante 7 shop and it was better than my 1.25x hologram, so i had to take it

[calm sapphire]

i mean i did the math a year ago so im not sure

[calm sapphire]

holy blur

[ember glen]

woahh
that build looks so fun to play
10/10

[calm sapphire]

baron, mime, dna, all bp

[ancient gyro]

and the fact that you need 44 steels in hand and consecutive ectos minimizing hs makes it impossible for the returns you get in score

[calm sapphire]

3 ectos

wait let me redo the math

[ancient gyro]

its 1

[glad viper]

excuse me why are they all polychrome

[ancient gyro]

the math hasnt changed in 2 years

[calm sapphire]

1 ecto?

hell nah

[ancient gyro]

2 ectos can work but its neutral benefit for the one specific joker

3 doesn't work past a25 without natural anomalies

[ember glen]

the popcorn was my only source of mult 🙏
entire run depended on it

[south oasis]

how many kings is it for naninf with 4 copiers

[ancient gyro]

1 ecto

[south oasis]

anyone know

[ember glen]

wouldn't it be better to copy the dna first to get more cards in hand

[ancient gyro]

44

[south oasis]

ok thank you

[calm sapphire]

ts serpent tho

4 ectos are the best for serpent lol

[ancient gyro]

yes, that's what serpent naneinf is

[cursive lion]

yeah this seed is cracked

[calm sapphire]

talking about a24

its either 2 or 3

i dont remember

[ember glen]

what ante?

[ancient gyro]

you can't just say this without providing any form of calculation or media

[calm sapphire]

ok g 1 sec

takes a lot of setting up wait

[ancient gyro]

you just saw me get naneinf for 1

ecto

[cursive lion]

ante 4

[calm sapphire]

i did 4 ectos in a run many times

buddy bro

doesnt mean

4 ectos aint better

[ember glen]

damn that's amazing

[ancient gyro]

buddy bro

[hollow grove]

You're guaranteed for find even better things with aggressive rolling in the shop xD

[ancient gyro]

it's worse

-10 hand size is debilitating and far less practical to find, who knew

[nova junco]

Nothing will beat the absolute madness that was playing flush 5 with 4 hand size

[fair sapphire]

my negative luck has been crazy the oops was negative too

cartomancer is crazy

[calm sapphire]

bro

i meant

doesnt mean

4 ecots aint better

[ancient gyro]

ecots

[calm sapphire]

whats the highest base handsize

again

wait its 10 so 4 doesnt work lmao

3 does for sure tho

[ancient gyro]

to achieve naneinf?

[ember glen]

only in a skip run will you have this kinda end money amount (if you weren't planning on going endgame)

[calm sapphire]

3 ectos achieves way higher scores than 1 ecto

[cursive lion]

negative hack ante 1

too bad i only have ten and no credit card in a buffoon pack

[brave goblet]

psyched out

[ancient gyro]

they still achieve the same score, naneinf.

the former is far more practical to pilot while not getting sloshed in a24

[cursive lion]

ill share the seed and i guess on yellow deck this could be useful

[south oasis]

do i skip for vouchers here or do i gamble on getting a juggler skip

[hollow grove]

Can you sell something (without dying)

[south oasis]

i feel like the vouchers are good here

[brave goblet]

yeah take the vouchers

$1000 is good money

[calm sapphire]

goofy ahh

[south oasis]

oki

[brave goblet]

should be $2k but beggars can't be choosers

[calm sapphire]

saying after a24

for a24 i think 2 ectos are best

[brave goblet]

you wanna reroll into serpent anyway

[south oasis]

yup

praying for director's cut lmao

[calm sapphire]

you can get naninf with 2 ectos but 3 ectos gives a higher score

[ancient gyro]

you only need one

anything more isn't required

[calm sapphire]

if youre going above naninf

[south oasis]

its pretty much guaranteed though

[wintry ice]

is this assuming you have a natural negative juggler or troub

[calm sapphire]

1e309 is low asf

[brave goblet]

inb4 everything EXCEPT director's

[calm sapphire]

nah it was 3

[cursive lion]

this seed is cracked too

[calm sapphire]

4 was a goofy miscalculation

[ancient gyro]

they're cherry picking ideal scenarios in between antes that already naneinf, it's a moot statement

[wintry ice]

3 is for ante 39

otherwise it's just unnecessary

[ancient gyro]

oh silly me

[calm sapphire]

I mean it gets the higher score

all i mean bro

[wintry ice]

you still need to find tge jokers to make use of the ectos

[ancient gyro]

this is outside of my nanlet territory

info

[south oasis]

ok i got directors cut but i got 3 bad vouchers

5 ok ones ig

tarot merchant and planet merchant can go to hell

[calm sapphire]

all i meant from the start is that 3 ectos gets a higher score

sorry for the miscomunication

[south oasis]

retcon!!!!

lets gooo

[calm sapphire]

i did 12 ectos with bean and it worked pretty well too tho

[nova junco]

What

[ancient gyro]

well the person wanting to naneinf just wanted a naneinf and has the existing serpent burger setup

[waxen quartz]

well 180 handsize isn't an everday thing 🙂

[ancient gyro]

so like

I was trying to stay on topic

[calm sapphire]

ye makes sense

my brain got rewired to getting the highest score

after i started going for the random seed perkeoless wr

[waxen quartz]

did someone ever spreadsheet what you need for naninf for not perkeo things? think it's 870ish x1.5s

[manic zealot]

the game keeps giving me kings

[manic talon]

i mean theres a drspecterd video about naneinf that laid out how many 1.5X you need

[waxen quartz]

oh there was a per king calculation with the number of baron/mime you have

[calm sapphire]

ye its 876

[manic talon]

from the video

[calm sapphire]

the legendary baronless naninf

[foggy bane]

MY BITCH ASS CRASHED MY BUS ON ACCIDENT FUCK

[manic zealot]

I just did that the other day and I felt so dumb

[manic talon]

do you even need the bus

[quaint stag]

surely you should be able to get through on raw mult

[foggy bane]

"oh gollee gee ill play a highcard to try and get another ace surely nothing bad will hapen when i play this jack"

hold on lets see what i get when i play my hand

witout glas

600k

i can survive for another few antes

1 ante that is actually

[wintry ice]

well that's how many antes you need to survive

[foggy bane]

i was hoping on going endless tho

[foggy bane]

bummer

[hasty meteor]

Pov ( I lost again in that run xD)

[manic zealot]

the rare 5oak build (the game gave me so many kings I had to do something with them)

[alpine nest]

...

Wtfam

W

I

Wtf am i looking at

[manic zealot]

what's confusing?

[waxen quartz]

ya it's just x54 mult

[alpine nest]

Two eternal duo
Holo misprint
6 dollars
And u used an immolate

Idk how u managed this situation but i love it

And ur ante 9 so u won

Also u skipped a round i think

[manic talon]

6 dollars after you beat ante 8 is normal

[manic zealot]

every pack I opened gave me king after king, also yes I skipped for an ante 1 investment tag, and later on I used a hex on the acrobat

[manic talon]

just means you roll down on the boss shop'

[manic zealot]

I used up all my money before the final boss, I don't go endless nowadays

I always send my gold stake wins when I beat the ante 8 boss

[alpine nest]

I usually don't just bc

I'm lazy

[manic zealot]

fair

I just enjoy the interaction in here it's fun

[manic talon]

sometimes you need to roll down to make sure you win

[lavish shuttle]

Bro why can I beat blue deck gold stake but I can’t beat red deck black stake

[manic zealot]

blue deck is easier which helps

[brittle umbra]

Should I get this one or copy the Queen ?

[lavish shuttle]

I just wanna get game progression over with so I can do my white stake baron build runs

[manic zealot]

it's vagabond time

[manic talon]

its medium and the other isnt even a consideration

[fickle mesa]

you can do those right now if u want

[manic talon]

i mean if you want to discover sigil its fine

[bitter schooner]

Chat. MYSTERIOUS UNBOXING?? OR GUARANTEE 7 (very mysterious)

[south oasis]

lol

[bitter schooner]

Or possibly. STONE DECK BUILD

[fickle mesa]

blue seal

[bitter schooner]

Lowkey might be the way

[fickle mesa]

take the blue seal

[manic talon]

yea you already beat gold stake that means you already got plasma, you just need to unlock brainstorm and invisible joker

[fickle mesa]

i guess shiny rock is fun tho
