[patent sail]

Reasonable

[exotic orchid]

Chess streamer and grand master.

[patent sail]

Im glad to get that one out of the way

[manic zealot]

I think this is my 3rd legendary I've found today wtf

[royal bobcat]

idk

[lofty sapphire]

ah i lost

[heavy bone]

I thought nemo was a fish

[royal bobcat]

imagine not having the trans soul textures </3

[exotic orchid]

Nemo got skill checked by levy so much she gave up chess smh.

[manic zealot]

hell yeah it's the goat

[fringe nebula]

vanilla balatro all the way

[somber barn]

Everyone always ask who Nemo, never where nemo

[white flint]

does andy work for getting palette?

[patent sail]

I need gay soul texture, that ones mine

[fringe nebula]

yes

[white flint]

ok

so i need to get 2 less handsize somehow now

[unreal topaz]

just tested it, perkeo does copy stuff if you go to 3/2 or 4/3, but once you are at 4/3 fools do interesting things

[patent sail]

Such as?

[fringe nebula]

you want to look for :
-ecto
-andy
-ankh
-invisible joker
-stuntman
-ouija

[unreal topaz]

like you can use a negative fool at 4/3 consumable slots but you just don't get anything lmfao

[lofty sapphire]

before i give up, this run is 100% borked right?

[unreal topaz]

it just burns it

[patent sail]

Game just trolls you

[unreal topaz]

yeah

[royal bobcat]

so i was right

thank you miss shark

[patent sail]

Thank you shark we all say in unison

[still pike]

Take which one?

[patent sail]

Super

[unreal topaz]

maybe my screen recording will upload, one day

eventually

[patent sail]

Super your nova

[patent sail]

So does it just go to 5/4 with perkeo lol

[unique aspen]

Free planets

[unreal topaz]

you can't get to 4 consumable slots

i had crystal ball so i said 4/3

[patent sail]

I mean didnt you say it still copies

I may have misread

[unreal topaz]

it makes negative copies

[fringe nebula]

ok syn and zoahl are right about checkered deck

the fact that you can just take something like hologram instead of mult jokers at ante 1 feels nice

[weary whale]

WAIT

TODAY IS APPARENTLY BALATRO’S SECOND BIRTHDAY

[manic zealot]

hell yeah

also my mom's birthday

[unreal topaz]

this is the experiment results

[manic zealot]

double celebration for me

[somber barn]

They super my nova til I mult

[exotic orchid]

Happy birthday john balatro.

[weary whale]

“Happy Birthday Mom, I got you a naneinf.”

[unreal topaz]

yeah, also various econ jokers become way safer

[patent sail]

Baling our atros today

[lofty sapphire]

I HATE SQUARE JOKER

[shell dagger]

free win

[patent sail]

I LOVE SQUARE

Take him

[unreal topaz]

you're on orange stake, just take the good joker and profit

[manic zealot]

dude you can do the squarepants build

[heavy bone]

need to hit gold stake he will change your life

[wraith iris]

rebate is the play, right?

[heavy bone]

square up

[shell dagger]

Ye

[unreal topaz]

absolutely

[lofty sapphire]

every time i use square joker it goes terrible

[unreal topaz]

even as eternal rental it would be worth

[unreal topaz]

skill issue

[wraith iris]

dang, ok

[lofty sapphire]

what am i even supposed to play with it

[heavy bone]

cant force it early

[unreal topaz]

even tho square is like...really easy to use

[lofty sapphire]

idk man

[unreal topaz]

high card/pairs

[patent sail]

Everytime i use him i end up balatroing real hard

[lofty sapphire]

just never made sense to me

[heavy bone]

usually pairs

[shell dagger]

you also have the 2 pair joker

just play 2 pair when you can and hc when you can’t

[manic zealot]

for your build rn you play 2 pair when possible

[unreal topaz]

if you have scaling chips+scaling mult every hand scores the same

so you can play 4 hands all worth the same amount instead of 3 throwaway hands and one big hand

[lofty sapphire]

ill try it

[heavy bone]

planet cards are op

[wraith iris]

lol he's back in the next shop

[patent sail]

He wants you to take him

[shell dagger]

hex in the mega spectral

[unreal topaz]

taking swash seems too risky

[wraith iris]

yeah :(

[unreal topaz]

i mean you have $19, you can reroll next ante if you need to and take the celestial pack for scoring vs the boss

red deck also makes scoring easier early on

[heavy bone]

play those big hands

[unreal topaz]

would you ankh the rebate? bc i would even tho it's probably dubious

[patent sail]

Red deck just removes blue stake

[unreal topaz]

seems fun to me

and it probably works

[heavy bone]

yin and yang

[patent sail]

So blue stake and up its just playing a blank deck

[unreal topaz]

nah blue stake and up it protects you from the horrors of blue stake

[wraith iris]

i played it bad and lost at the boss lol

[unreal topaz]

classic mail in greed

[wraith iris]

yeah

[unreal topaz]

did you take celestial?

[patent sail]

🐈

[wraith iris]

yeah, got a full house

[manic zealot]

I love me some yo rick action

[wraith iris]

it was the only 5 card hand i played tho

[unreal topaz]

yeah that's rough

[manic zealot]

also business card was excellent econ this run

[unreal topaz]

jupiter or saturn woulda done it

[wraith iris]

for sure

maybe i should have taken uranus instead?

idk

[lofty sapphire]

is this unironically worth it with a 2 pair build lmao

[unreal topaz]

with level 2 2 pair you can win with 3 2 pairs, which is maybe more reasonable on red deck specifically

or maybe flush and 2 2 pairs

[patent sail]

Two of a two of a kind

[unreal topaz]

i think you can do better, other joker slots can just be xmult and abandoned already makes drawing 2 pair easier

[heavy bone]

this run is dead bc no antimatter what should i look for when rerolling shop with 2.8k

[lofty sapphire]

holy moley

save some cash for the rest of us

[patent sail]

Thats not even that much

[unreal topaz]

bean doesnt do it i dont think

over dna

[patent sail]

Those deep endless runs get more

[unreal topaz]

that would be the best hit

aside from yk

nat negatives

[heavy bone]

got a negative mail and rebate one time

[heavy bone]

ion know maybe

worth a try

[unreal topaz]

nat negative rebate is cool but it still didnt come close to the money i made with hand size bugs

[fringe nebula]

ante 2 ankh into a snowball

[unreal topaz]

it would be +2 hand size, same as nat negative troubador

[patent sail]

Opposed to hand size spiders that actually eat your money

[lofty sapphire]

cutting it so close for no reason gotta love early wall

[wraith iris]

neither of these are worth taking, right?

[heavy bone]

ill reroll and see doubt anything could show up

[unreal topaz]

ante 4 wall is the hardest one most of the time

[patent sail]

Obe the lisk

[unreal topaz]

if you didnt take square you wouldn't survive

[fringe nebula]

holographic FT can be good, obelisk too

[wraith iris]

i dont know how :(

[patent sail]

I got jumpscared by ante 7 wall and barely made it

[unreal topaz]

holographic could be worth considering, obelisk is powerful long term, i might buy both

[patent sail]

Spam idk something like flush

Pivot at 15

[wraith iris]

hmmmm

i see it

[unreal topaz]

you want to get jokers that give you points no matter what hand you play

ideally scaling mult

[lofty sapphire]

thoughts?

[patent sail]

I won with 11 flushes on my obelisk run

[lofty sapphire]

im kinda poor rn

[unreal topaz]

and sometimes scaling chips, sometimes flat chips

[fringe nebula]

the most useful smeared joker ever

[lofty sapphire]

dont even have full jokers

[patent sail]

Just spammed random hands that arent flush after it and won

[lofty sapphire]

lol

[unreal topaz]

just one obelisk run?

[patent sail]

Yeqhh i dont get it often

[patent sail]

My first orange stake win was obelisk

[unreal topaz]

this is a pretty average obelisk, bus and square are perfect for enabling it

[patent sail]

The other time i got obe early i died even before the pivot

[wraith iris]

yeah, but it takes up a bunch of money and a slot for 4 antes before you can even start using it

right?

[unreal topaz]

you just need those types of jokers, not specifically bus and square

[wraith iris]

and forces you into a particular hand

[unreal topaz]

that's true, i could see just taking fortune teller for short term safety and saving up money for interest

bc by ante 3 you need chips

[unreal topaz]

thats not rly an issue

in general

[unreal topaz]

if you take obelisk then it costs maybe $15 if you have to spend down for scoring

[patent sail]

Not really

Forces that before the pivot

After that you can play just anything that isnt that hand

[unreal topaz]

could be worth but it's kind of risky

[crisp condor]

chat, how does it look, is ot terminal

[patent sail]

Where balala

[wraith iris]

right, but surviving until pivot is the hard part

[crisp condor]

i need to play it more

but isaac too good

[patent sail]

My brother plays TBoI, it was too hard for me

[unreal topaz]

yeah, the issue is it's expensive so it could make it harder to get a chip joker for said survival

[patent sail]

I like balala because its slow and yoy can think

[crisp condor]

skill issue

[somber barn]

No fallout 4 :(

[unreal topaz]

usually it's not too hard tho

[crisp condor]

no

[lofty sapphire]

is this worth for a 2 pair run

[patent sail]

I mean yeah i never denied it

Its not my type of game

[unreal topaz]

i dont think survival is the issue, i think snowballing money is the issue

[lofty sapphire]

in theory i dont really need the enhancements right

[crisp condor]

then what's your type

[patent sail]

Balala

🎉

[unreal topaz]

absolutely

[crisp condor]

like genre

[lofty sapphire]

dude this seed is so mean to me

[crisp condor]

not game itself

[lofty sapphire]

like PLEASE give me ur anus

[patent sail]

Idek i just play anything that isnt fast paced

Mostly like balala and stardew valley

[unreal topaz]

guess what? because of square joker, you don't need the chips from planet cards, you have a reliable source

[lofty sapphire]

yeah but it could be better

[crisp condor]

so you like cozy games

[lofty sapphire]

like im ending most hands with 0

so i have no money

[unreal topaz]

also, spare trousers gives you mult regardless of what hand you play, even tho it only scales on 2 pairs

so you don't even have to play 2 pair long term

[lofty sapphire]

yeah

[unreal topaz]

you might have ignored an eternal value generator

or spent down too much

[patent sail]

More like anything that doesnt require a whole lot of action, i guess that

Its fun to watch my brother play something like ultrakill or tboi but i myself could never

[unreal topaz]

or ignored standard pack value generators

usually one of those shows up by then

[crisp condor]

huh

[lofty sapphire]

game is trying to epic troll me

cant upgrade pants for ONE TURN

unplayable

[patent sail]

He recently got into mewgenics which is like closer to what id play, because you can just stop and think about your actions

[lofty sapphire]

dude

every

single

tarot pack is WORTHLESS

[unreal topaz]

what's that one got

[lofty sapphire]

i have not seen ONE SINGLE HERMIT OR HEIROPHANT

[unreal topaz]

bc you have vampire

theres like

8 enhancements

[lofty sapphire]

the ones im getting dont even have enhancements anymore

[knotty zodiac]

heirophant isnt very good ante 6 normally

[lofty sapphire]

actually so mean

[unreal topaz]

its for vampire food

[lofty sapphire]

is that not the one that gives money based on joker value

regardless

theyve all been worthless

[vestal copper]

thats temperance

[patent sail]

Which is what i like about balala, you can just sit there contemplating your actions for half an hour if needed

[knotty zodiac]

ah my bad

[crisp condor]

hell yeah

[hollow grove]

I like the concept of that game but there's just so much poop etc

I know it's from Isaac devs and I haven't played Isaac for same reason

[lofty sapphire]

ok vampire has eaten literally every enhancement in my deck

and its at 1.7x

actually so broke 😭

if i wanted to be poor i would log off of balatro and go outside

[patent sail]

I mean that kinda stuff is that devs entire thing

[vestal copper]

you would use vagabond

[lofty sapphire]

WE ARE SO BACK

[patent sail]

Mewgenics isnt much different and has a simular "aesthetic"

[hollow grove]

I might be on a winning gold stake run for black deck btw 👀

[lofty sapphire]

im on the boss for ante 7, do we think this is worthwhile to pickup?

[craggy veldt]

Hello

Balatro fellas I seek your advice

[mortal nimbus]

what exactly is it retriggering? do you have any editions

[lofty sapphire]

eh ig not fair point

[hollow grove]

I have blueprint though so I need to actually remember to move it around

Flip / shuffle jokers might be hard with the 3 hands but we'll see

[hollow grove]

Which boss

[lofty sapphire]

serpent

[white flint]

ok so i have 3 oujia's

[lofty sapphire]

i dont need it

[night bridge]

How many kings you have

[white flint]

do i lose the run or

[craggy veldt]

Rocket gives 11
And castle 87

[lofty sapphire]

is THIS worth it?? im on abandoned so i dont actually know if i need the hand size

[hollow grove]

Ditch smiley face for brainstorm is what I'd do

Smiley is a lot worse on plasma

Baron depends on your deck

[night bridge]

I mean thats a lot of deck fixing to do still, without a mime you wouldn't go too far, if you are chilling id say go for it but if you want the win i wouldnt risk it

[white flint]

ok so i have 5 hand size

what do i do now

do i finish the run?

[craggy veldt]

🫡

[craggy veldt]

🫡

[weary whale]

How many chips on the castle?

[craggy veldt]

87

[hollow grove]

Were you going for the unlock? Well done

[white flint]

yeah

i have to finish the run right?

also oujia hit face cards 3 times in a row lol

[weary whale]

What is your deck looking like? How many kings?

[weak relic]

Not again

[white flint]

i have 10 kings

since oujia hit king

and jack twice

[primal eagle]

guys i need help

which joker should brainstorm copy?

[white flint]

that one

[craggy veldt]

🍌

[primal eagle]

thanks

[fringe nebula]

the x3 mult one is optimal

[hollow grove]

iirc, you don't need to win

The unlock will trigger even if you lose

[lofty sapphire]

i wonder which one is square joker

[knotty zodiac]

banana DL both fine

[weak relic]

Put it on the leftmost

[white flint]

ima sell all my jokers cuz even if i do high card ill win

[primal eagle]

Yo it worked! Thanks

[hollow grove]

Niceeee gg

[lofty sapphire]

ok wow beat orange ante for the first time with 5 cards ive beaten a maximum of white stake on (hologram shouldnt be included in that metric)

[shell dagger]

probably not tbh

[weak relic]

Perkeo

[white flint]

cuz i got pairs dream lol

[weak relic]

Now what

[shell dagger]

i could see it being correct though

[weak relic]

Do I just copy deaths

And hangmans?

Maybe I should

[night bridge]

Yup

[lofty sapphire]

ok so like how is this useful

[hollow grove]

Niceeee

Love the polychrome rif raff providing more value than just about any of the cards it could generate

[weary whale]

Oof

If you go Baron, you only have 6 other face cards if you don’t want to play kings. Keep that in mind.

If you just want to complete the run and don’t care about going further, get rid of the rocket and take brainstorm. Have it copy Hanging Chad and move it over.

That’s just what I would do.

[glacial galleon]

because you can do fun runs with number-oriented cards

[weak relic]

4oak heaven/hell. Nothing in between

[glacial galleon]

8 ball cloud 9

[primal eagle]

you have fun by playing on a fully randomized deck

[potent gale]

Definitely one of the most fun decks imo

[lofty sapphire]

why would i play balatro for FUN, im trying to WIN

im WINMAXING

[fringe nebula]

canio only at x3..........

[white flint]

ok so wth

[primal eagle]

its tiring to play for me cuz i need to check deck before every hand/discard

[craggy veldt]

Si should I get read of the rocket or smiley?

[white flint]

i lost

went into menu

it didnt do anything

[craggy veldt]

I mean I’ve never reached “e” before

[shell dagger]

it’s not the strongest deck but it immediately enables 3oak most of the time and puts you in a good place for 4oak

[fringe nebula]

the only reason i'm carrying satellite is because of the foil lmao

[night bridge]

Still depends on what you want to do, if you are aiming for a highscore those 87 chips arent going to be relevant, but idk how your score is looking rn so i cant tell, still, 11 bucks a round could be replaced with some gold cards and a mime if you intend to move further

[white flint]

wth now

palette hates me or what

[trim stump]

i got alllll the ships

[white flint]

i didnt even have any jokers that limit my handsize

[wanton magnet]

Buying cards suck... I love my hand size

[white flint]

only used oujia

[hollow grove]

Okay now I really want to win because I just found a negative flowerpot which of course doesn't have a gold sticker

[weary whale]

I’d keep smiley. You should have enough money to finish Ante 8, and keeping up with mult is a better option in the long run.

There’s always more ways to get money (like with temperance & hermit), but retriggering jokers will be very important.

[weak relic]

Also should I take this now?

[craggy veldt]

En if I shoot anything else but a full house I’m cooked

Lol

[wanton magnet]

Its beautiful

[hollow grove]

Do you have a good target for it?

[weak relic]

Hallucination just chilling in the corner

[trim stump]

i had a different photo and a different chad before lol
also the chad is natneg

[fringe nebula]

checkered deck done, go next

[weak relic]

I have a steel king of diamonds w red seal

[wanton magnet]

Theyre looking at each other

[weary whale]

Checkered was my first (and so far only) deck to get a gold seal

[lofty sapphire]

checkered seems really fun

[weak relic]

Gold seal no way

[lofty sapphire]

i fw checkered heavy

[night bridge]

I mean thats the thing, if you fail to draw all those kings you might be in trouble, but again, if you are just chilling and dont care if you lose that run then you could go for that baron. Maybe just get brainstorm and wait for a blueprint or sock so you can have more retriggers and get that e score without the baron

[lofty sapphire]

will prob be my next after abandoned

abandoned my beloved

i love minimizing randomness

[wanton magnet]

I never take DNA ngl unless I got a polychrome king with steel and red seal... other than that death cards are the goat

[lament bronze]

• Play balastro in quantum computer
• A little bug, I have to look inside
• Looks inside
• Superposition no longer works

[hollow grove]

That definitely qualifies!

I'd ditch hallucination

Don't forget to target DNA with blueprint and brainstorm for first and then move them after

[craggy veldt]

I wanna win this run
Since I’m on purple stake in the ghost deck lmao
I wanna be on the same stake on plasma

[fringe nebula]

my first gold stake clear was a year ago with yellow deck
and then a month and half later i got my c++

[lofty sapphire]

this reads like chatgpt

[night bridge]

Isnt this your current run? I thought it was a white stake plasma

Im confused

[lofty sapphire]

with the "That definitely qualifies!"

[craggy veldt]

It is

THATS my current run

[night bridge]

Oh i get it

[craggy veldt]

Sorry for bad English ahh sentence

[lime dust]

how many achievements do you have for this game so far 😭

[craggy veldt]

🥀

[craggy veldt]

16:14

[night bridge]

Yeah ok well then yeah you might want to get brainstorm only instead of rocket, those 11 bucks wont make a big difference for ante 7-8

And copy photo for score

[craggy veldt]

Gotcha

[night bridge]

Whats the ante 7 boss blind

[craggy veldt]

The water

[hollow grove]

Huh it totally does now that mention it but I'm human and didn't use it

I sometimes write like ai and it's very frustrating

[craggy veldt]

👀

[potent gale]

Booooo I hate clankers

[lofty sapphire]

lol no worries i just thought it was silly

[night bridge]

Better pray to draw face cards

[hollow grove]

Which hand are you playing

[night bridge]

Yeah thats a better score, try to look for a justice in the shop

Or death/strenght

[craggy veldt]

Ben playing since September and just unlocked this mf

[fringe nebula]

your choice of words, and the structures of each sentences you send on this discord server are interesting

[night bridge]

In case you dont draw your cards

[lofty sapphire]

how do you unlock this jit again

i forget

[craggy veldt]

Yup

Also I gifted Balatro to a friend 3 days ago
It was his first time playing
(Today he’s already in purple stake 💀)

[craggy veldt]

100mill

[fringe nebula]

iirc you have to score big

[lofty sapphire]

.....that took 5 months?

[craggy veldt]

xD

[lofty sapphire]

cant tell if i play too much or what

[fringe nebula]

your friend is similar to me then

[lofty sapphire]

i got the game a few days ago and i have it but also i have 50 hours so

[craggy veldt]

I play almost daily but I’m UNLUCKY af

[weak relic]

Forgot one which was 5 vouchers on ante 4 or smth

[craggy veldt]

I feel like…

[lofty sapphire]

i got this hand on BLACK DECK

[hollow grove]

Thank you, I think?

[lofty sapphire]

LMAO

[craggy veldt]

Damn can’t send gifs

[lime dust]

no like on steam what percentage achievements are you at

[craggy veldt]

Yay

[marsh swan]

I love you spaceman

[craggy veldt]

Duuuude look what my friend sent me

BROOO

😭

[night bridge]

Spaceman getting ready to lvl up the discard hand

[fringe nebula]

that is not purple stake

[craggy veldt]

HES using another deck

HES purple stake on blue deck

[lofty sapphire]

this is 100% worth selling my sharp for right

[fringe nebula]

absolutely not

[lofty sapphire]

it perishes in 3 rounds

[fringe nebula]

ok maybe yes

[night bridge]

Immolate in spectral pack

[lofty sapphire]

feels soooo bad passing on a natural negative

[lofty sapphire]

oh god

[fringe nebula]

do it

1/8 chance

let's go

[craggy veldt]

He sent this

[vestal copper]

immolate

[lofty sapphire]

my body is shaking like the 60 year olds spending their retirement at the casino

[night bridge]

Imagine the dopamine hit

I mean its ante 2 why not

[lofty sapphire]

trueee

ok im sending it

no immolate but i get to gamble within my gamble

BAAAAAAANG I LOVE GAMBLING

WE ARE SO BACK

[night bridge]

It was the only choice, and the right one

[vocal tinsel]

i just had like 50 consecutive losses on black deck gold stake 🫩

[lofty sapphire]

sounds about right

[vocal tinsel]

i want to move on to other decks so bad but i’m playing them all in order

[night bridge]

Better pray for some +mult now

[lofty sapphire]

yeahhh

ok so i did lose

but i gambled and thats all im here for

[midnight talon]

oh my flippin days

negative was from a tag btw

so it was free

[craggy veldt]

Mmmm

[hollow grove]

Oh fuck I have bell coming up on my black deck gold stake run

57 card deck that can play pairs or flushes (arrowhead)

I hope I don't die, don't have any extra hands or discards

Easily meet the score if rngesus is kind to me though

[harsh juniper]

Can invisible joker show up again after being used?

[lofty sapphire]

not even close

[hollow grove]

Good question

I believe so but it's annoying that the wiki doesn't explicitly say one way or other

This is only from logical extrapolating, that other jokers can show again after you get rid of them; I'm not 100% certain if invis works differently fsr and haven't been lucky enough to get it twice

[lofty sapphire]

its sooooo tempting

but i have no eco

[hollow grove]

Consider it if that arcana pack has magician, maybe??

[harsh juniper]

Yeah that's what I was thinking, if you sell a joker or even feed it to the knife or madness they can show up again, right? But maybe inv works differently? I'm so curious

[lofty sapphire]

maybe

i lost right after anyway because the game refused to give me any jokers but wtv

[hollow grove]

bah better luck next time

[weak relic]

Skipping is the play here, right? Ecto gonna hit dna

Yeah i am still in hunt for baron now laugh at my misery

[manic talon]

It can

[hollow grove]

Could sell DNA first and then try to roll back into it with all that money

[manic talon]

Only joker that cant show up again is Michel, when it dies on its own, then michel cant show up but cavendish can

[latent egret]

nope

it costed you a round

which is worth a lot of money lol

[harsh juniper]

Nice, thanks!

[manic talon]

(Well technically theres also other jokers that can only show up if you have certain enhancements in your deck but thats a different condition entirely)

[harsh juniper]

What do you mean

[lofty sapphire]

ok by far the wealthiest ive been early

[latent egret]

cant get glass joker if no glass

or lucky car if no lucky cards

[manic talon]

Steel joker, glass joker, lucky cat, and golden ticket can only shpw up if you have the corresponding enhancements in your deck

[latent egret]

also stone joker but it sucks

[manic talon]

Oh yea forgor stone joker is a joker

[latent egret]

compared to the others

[harsh juniper]

Oh well yeah

[manic talon]

So if you destroy/remove the corresponding enhancements, it stops showing up again

Idk if this is 100% correct but so far i havent seen someone who got a enhancement joker without having said enhancement when it show up so i guess its most likely true

[tender quarry]

Made a deck tierlist based on how fun I find them

[humble dune]

Oh nooo

[tender quarry]

The main thing I value is decision making, so stuff like Black ends up high while ghost ends up low

[humble dune]

So brutalll

[tender quarry]

(except plasma because it's stinky and nebula because it's stinkier)

[humble dune]

I hated getting nebula gold stake mannn

I just didnt like the playstyle that the deck supports >:|

[weary whale]

Am I missing something?

[hollow grove]

Found an answer to bell - have world and fool in hand 😎

[humble dune]

Im versing the tooth and its such a hard boss :[

Anyway I beat it

[subtle drum]

i can't beat ante 2 on abandoned deck 😭

[vestal copper]

major skill issue

[subtle drum]

not really, if u saw what was happening you'd understand

[weary whale]

I was just about to say

You had the full house of the queens and 8s.

Since you had the seltzer retriggers paired with the lucky queens, you would’ve gotten so much mult and money.

And it looks like you did.

[humble dune]

Just a bit :>

[lofty sapphire]

is it too late for pants?

ughhh this run suckssss i have absolutely no scaling

[subtle drum]

nvm free holoblueprint we're saved

[vestal copper]

bloodstone lover and cant beat ante 2

checks tf out

[subtle drum]

keep hating hater ✌️

[vestal copper]

ancient is just better

[subtle drum]

yeah and?

[vestal copper]

bloodstone requires a power of 1000 suns for a 1 in 2

[subtle drum]

just beat ante 2 who's laughing now

[tender quarry]

This is possibly the single weakest argument you could have chosen for why Bloodstone is bad

[subtle drum]

haters are my motivators

[vestal copper]

me

[hollow grove]

What do I blueprint here?

I don't know if it matters but I don't want to mess up and it's hard to immediately tell which is better between arrowhead and licence (or maybe even chad with the lucky jack)

Green joker on +27

[weary whale]

Just because one is good doesn’t mean the other is bad

Both have a major downside. Bloodstone only hits 50% of the time, but Ancient is only a 25% chance of being a suit you actually want

[subtle drum]

doesn't matter u can play to it

also wild cards

i am very aware that ancient is better than bloodstone but that won't stop me defending it

[subtle drum]

snail been real quiet since this dropped

[vestal copper]

i havs a life yk

cant always type

[subtle drum]

uh huh

[lofty sapphire]

PLEASE give me ACTAUL JOKERS

[vestal copper]

yeah

[weary whale]

Copy Green Joker

You’re already earning plenty of chips via the Arrowhead, so having more mult is a good choice instead

[subtle drum]

oh hi brainstorm

[hollow grove]

Just went with licence and won 😎

Black deck gold stake finally done

[subtle drum]

huge respect

i've done black deck orange stake and that took forever

so i can only imagine how hard black deck gold stake is

[tacit stream]

By that logic License would give even more Mult.
...assuming it's not a dud

[tender quarry]

Copying a joker that only gives +Chips or +Mult can never be more than x2

[weary whale]

I was just about to say, depending on how much license also has

[tender quarry]

So it's always License in this type of situation unless something gives a large proportion of both (which isn't the case here) or more xMult

[lofty sapphire]

dude like PLEASE

[subtle drum]

they really want me to play econ lol

[lofty sapphire]

every round is a nailbiter

[hollow grove]

Wouldn't licence have been strictly better than green?? /genuinely asking, I get confused about how order of operations works in this game

I also had +21 abstract and 10 mult from Holo

[lofty sapphire]

unironically i think i need to take this

[royal bobcat]

ghost c </3

[tender quarry]

It's boring 🙂

[royal bobcat]

iiiii disagree

[somber barn]

Shmoney

[royal bobcat]

ghost boring but blue a tier

[vestal copper]

ghost is not boring

[tender quarry]

It's boring on strong seeds (just going through the motions) and weak on weak seeds (hex doesn't do much in rental hell)

[lofty sapphire]

gotta love ante 5 wall when you have NOTHING

[tender quarry]

Hits are often unearned

Like you hit Immolate ante 1 so you win and you spend the rest of the run just playing it out

[hollow grove]

Good point, didn't think of it like that, thx

[weary whale]

The jokers trigger from left to right.

So you could increase the regular amount of mult higher than normal and then x2 with license, or have regular amount of mult, x2 with license, then x2 that amount on top of that

[hollow grove]

Licence is x3 though

[tacit stream]

License is x3

[subtle drum]

x3

:3

[tender quarry]

Blue is fun because it has a lot more decision making to playing it well compared to Ghost imo

[royal bobcat]

ghost is cool because i have access to silly spectrals

[weak relic]

Who do I kill for this guy?

[royal bobcat]

who would hate starting with a medium

[weak relic]

I really dont have an idea on what I am doing rn

[royal bobcat]

but syn you probably have like 1k hours or something

i still dont get why youd find blue more fun than ghost but blergh

[tender quarry]

Significantly more

[royal bobcat]

is it the commando situation but balatro

[stuck dagger]

magic deck gold stake completed

[vestal copper]

7k hours on blue deck

[royal bobcat]

no, new players dont like blue deck

[tender quarry]

What's the commando situation

[hollow grove]

Do you still need the rebate with all that money??

[royal bobcat]

gauss curve of new players liking something, mid range players hating it and long time players loving it

[vestal copper]

theres a player with like 7k hours on one starter character being the worst one too

[royal bobcat]

like commando in risk of rain 2

[vestal copper]

ac is the goat

[fringe nebula]

syn you're right about checkered deck, taking econ/scaling jokers at ante 1 feels so much safer

[royal bobcat]

which doesnt rely work here because the noob deck is checkered

[vestal copper]

checkered joker huh

[fringe nebula]

checkered deck

mb lol

[royal bobcat]

checkered is more commando than blue

[vestal copper]

would be an interesting addition

[royal bobcat]

im creating new sentences

never said before

[tender quarry]

It's a very good deck, lots of people underrate it because they've learned flushes aren't good at gold stake

[royal bobcat]

i just think its bowing

[tender quarry]

Something like that, Blue has a lot of depth but isn't very flashy

While Ghost is the opposite

[royal bobcat]

i like flashy things

[subtle drum]

it's giving this

[fringe nebula]

chat do i reroll and die to violet vessel

[royal bobcat]

thats the gauss curve yes

[subtle drum]

oh

[weak relic]

It's bell

[subtle drum]

we call it the bell curve

[weak relic]

Trust me bro

[fringe nebula]

ok i trust you

[royal bobcat]

whats the gauss curve hten

[fringe nebula]

yoooo

[subtle drum]

could be the same thing

[royal bobcat]

OKAY ITS ALSO CALLED THE GAUSS CURVE

[weak relic]

Ggs

[royal bobcat]

i'm not fucking stupid chat W

[subtle drum]

haha thought so

[tacit stream]

I just wanted to say that they might be talking about the bell curve instead of rerolling into bell lol

[royal bobcat]

for a minute i thought i made a fool of myself

fate worse than death

[vestal copper]

fool cant copy other fool

[fringe nebula]

the most uncomfortable win i've had in a while

[subtle drum]

gng...

half joker...

😭

[royal bobcat]

wheres the other half

exodia joker confirmed??

topsies and bottomsies

[vestal copper]

gojoker

[royal bobcat]

find both and get x3

[somber barn]

Black deck, just played lost 8 games in 5 minutes 😵‍💫

[vestal copper]

congrats on your first gold stake win!

[subtle drum]

full joker: +40 mult if played hand contains 6 or more cards

[royal bobcat]

+1 hand selection limit as well

six of a kind

longer straight

[vestal copper]

cryptid ass joker

[royal bobcat]

mega flush

[somber barn]

Low card

[subtle drum]

canio cos i'm not good with perkeo

[fringe nebula]

it was really hard but them photochad suddenly decided to appear at ante 7, and the emperor gave me justice

[vestal copper]

gg photochad

my first gold win was unironically double photochad😭

[subtle drum]

beautiful

two of each?

that's amazing

[vestal copper]

2photo

1chad

[subtle drum]

aww

still

[vestal copper]

i was dissatisfied with that win

fuck photochad vro

[fringe nebula]

chat would you open buffoon pack or just take eternal fist

[royal bobcat]

thats disgusting

[vestal copper]

damm

[subtle drum]

i'm playing eggbuckler rn but my egg is gonna perish 😔

still worth it i think

[weak relic]

Open the buffoon pack

[fringe nebula]

i feel like i would rather take fist in this scenario

[tender quarry]

I think my first gold stake win was straights back in old gold stake (When straights had worse planet scaling, -1 Handsize, Blue Seals weren't a thing and boosters were expensive)

[subtle drum]

buffoon for sure

[fringe nebula]

i don't feel safe opening the buffoon pack honestly...

[vestal copper]

99% of gamblers quit before they hit big

but yeah fist is the reliable one

<@&1133519078540185692> hi

[tender quarry]

Good of you to ping mods, wouldn't want them to miss out on this great oppurtunity

[vestal copper]

tru

[somber barn]

Help

[solid rock]

thanks for the ping! they're now banned

[vestal copper]

good

[tender quarry]

Be honest, you just want to keep the free crypto for yourself

[weak relic]

Should I actually take it?

[tranquil steppe]

Mistaaaaaa Bones!!!!

[weak relic]

If then, who am I gonna kill?

[solid rock]

I don't want to touch crypto even if it was free, it's dealing with the devil

[weak relic]

Health insurance

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[tender quarry]

The Devil? Like in Balatro?

That's a pretty good tarot...

[hollow grove]

Are you trying to winstreak?

I usually don't care as much if I lose in ante 1 due to a bad buffoon pack

But yeah fist is good enough that I'd take it

[weak relic]

Saves you from death at a cost of 3 dollars

[subtle drum]

i may have underrated raised fist tbh

it might be half decent

[tender quarry]

Fist is the best non-scaling +Mult and it's not particularly close

[gentle lintel]

Highest level I've gotten a hand

[subtle drum]

holy

[somber barn]

I now despise obelisk!!! 🗣️

[subtle drum]

maybe burnt joker isn't bad either

[subtle drum]

always have personally

can't stop it resetting

it's inevitable

[tender quarry]

I think Fist vs Green Joker ante 1 is more of an interesting decision point than people realise

[vestal copper]

fool

[subtle drum]

snail trying to give helpful advice challenge impossible

[gentle lintel]

Burnt Joker OP with pairs.

[vestal copper]

possible

[subtle drum]

i highkey hate pairs but alright

[gentle lintel]

....
Nah
....

Guys, Spectre told me to just pay pairs and I think he was right

[vestal copper]

an entire poem, even

potato kb

[gentle lintel]

I was talking to my wife

[tender quarry]

I was talking to your wife too

[somber barn]

Wha about blackjack

[vestal copper]

what about soyjack

[somber barn]

:0

[vestal copper]

and balatro

[dim comet]

hey someone recommend me another game

balatro got boring for me now i overplayed it

[vestal copper]

ultrakill

[dim comet]

is that a card game

[pure pike]

Great set, bad luck

[subtle drum]

k i'm cooked i had +mult and that was it

[vestal copper]

nope

basically an opposite of balala but its still peak

[subtle drum]

opposite?

how so

[vestal copper]

ultrakill is the opposite of balatro yeah

[dim comet]

iswear the best runs get cooked by plant

[subtle drum]

every time bruh

[vestal copper]

fucking 2d turn based roguelite vs mobility based 3d shooter

both are peak tho

[subtle drum]

i see

[gentle lintel]

I know. She says hi son

[dim comet]

ultrakill looks

complicated

to play

[vestal copper]

its not that bad

[subtle drum]

what about a mobility based 3d "shooter" but a card game? behold, neon white

[tender quarry]

I've been playing a lot of 9 Kings over the past week or two if you want something somewhat similar (strategy deck builder rougelike), or Wildfrost is another game I like that hits the same itch as Balatro

[vestal copper]

i had 0 experience with shooters but was still able to become decent

[gentle lintel]

You like sports?

[tender quarry]

Or stuff like Inscryption if you haven't played it and don't mind something a bit more lore heavy

Mewgenics came out recently and I've heard really good things but haven't played it myself (compatibility with mac)

[weak relic]

Bye bye perkeo?

[dim comet]

also id like if you can play it without using ur brain

can play it while listening to a lecture

[vestal copper]

ukill may work

[weak relic]

I really dont know how to naneinf

[molten thicket]

should've copied plutos but skip dna

[gentle lintel]

I'd thoroughly recommend ABK26. It's a basketball management game. The coach mode takes some thought, but the player mode is pretty mindless

[tender quarry]

Inscryption or maybe Wildfrost out of the ones I mentioned then

(If you want something balatro-like)

[weak relic]

Dont have observatory yet

[molten thicket]

you can prepare first

you should prepare first

[dim comet]

looks cool

oh i remember the one balatro game

slay the spire

ima check

[pure pike]

Probably echoes of creation, you can afk the game to be stronger and its lowkey fun

[dapper zenith]

Officially got orange stake on every deck....

time for gold...

[stuck finch]

I love this card.

[manic talon]

BACK TO BACK I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[stuck finch]

Damn, $-3??

[pure pike]

Use bull + lots of economy card

[manic talon]

you roll down before the ante 8 boss

[vestal copper]

get a good build

[dapper zenith]

lock in desu

[vestal copper]

green is also not very good

[dapper zenith]

I also played for 200 hours

so it was'nt really a casual playthrough past blue

[stuck finch]

I've nearing 30 hours, I think

[vestal copper]

im like 40 hours in i think

3 golded decks :nails:

are you even enjoying playing plasma

[dapper zenith]

Im usually fine as soon as I get a X multer

but ye I don't ; like plasma

[vestal copper]

lmao(

[dapper zenith]

was an annoying palythroiugh trying to chips it

I just ended up bruteforcing it with mult

[pure pike]

Yh, its good in early game but it wont carry you later on unless..

[vestal copper]

just play what you enjoy vruh

silly

[dapper zenith]

I wish lucky cat shwowed up more

[pure pike]

THISS but theyre hard to find

[vestal copper]

true

rarest uncommon

[gentle lintel]

I like Plasma. Took me an age to get through orange stake on it, but then gold I got like 2 runs later.

[vestal copper]

[royal bobcat]

lucky cat when not a single lucky card triggers and i die

fooling around

[knotty zodiac]

horsing around*

[vestal copper]

skippin 🐎

[tender quarry]

dogging around*

[pure pike]

Maybe you still didnt unlock many rare jokers, i wish i also do :<

I always get thoes X mult depending on the poker hand

[dapper zenith]

During my oran ge stake adventrurtes

I was at plasma and past it

and I got triboulet

I think 3 times?

[pure pike]

Ohh, youre just lucky then >

[dapper zenith]

and fumbled it by misplay each time

was unfortunate

[vestal copper]

no suns?

well

[gleaming cobalt]

how the

[fringe nebula]

sigh

go next

the tooth is the most annoying boss ever exist

[vestal copper]

true

[dusty void]

The fish is a silent killer

The fish is a silent killer

Yo I need a different deck to gold stake black deck is physically paining me

[weak relic]

Savescum

Maybe not

Do it/not do it, its not like anyone would care

[dusty void]

True...

But I lowk play not thinking half the time

Especially against the fish

Okay that's an overstatement

[fringe nebula]

pardun?

[willow frost]

which one you want

[twin lantern]

Wait you can pick a suit now?

That's so sick

[willow frost]

yeah

which one you want

[twin lantern]

I'll pick Hearts because I can't help myself

[dusty void]

How do I describe this

[willow frost]

nice lol

[twin lantern]

(I don't like Bloodstone)

[weak relic]

Idrk

Should I kill Perkeo?

[dusty void]

That's the most

[weak relic]

Help

[dusty void]

Uhh

Balatro trailer type run

[willow frost]

no wtf

[twin lantern]

The Common Elite

[weak relic]

That's all I need to hear

[twin lantern]

Right, what did I come here for...

Any estimations on when 1.1 is coming out?

[split python]

Im probably gonna want two chads over two photos right?

[white flint]

chad is more versatile

imo

[split python]

yeah big money potential

[somber barn]

Same as GTA 6

[white flint]

1.1 releasing when half life 3 will be announced

[hollow grove]

Not this year

Hopefully 2027

[twin lantern]

Ah, long time then

lol

Been thinking of making a second save file for the longest time

[white flint]

ngl i never before saw any balatro gameplay before buying it

but i saw it was on sale during christmas and i was bored and bought it lol

now its one of 2 games i have 100+ hours in lol

[hollow grove]

What's the other 👀

[vestal copper]

i watched quite a lot of content before buying the game

[white flint]

btd6

[twin lantern]

Balatro is fun for me because I never bought into the hype

[white flint]

i almost have 200 on that

[stone shell]

unless you wanna try your hardest to get a cryptid, kill perk

[twin lantern]

I saw lots of my friends playing and struggling with White Stake but I thought it was so boring

Friend bought it for me, I began playing it out of politeness and... just to put it into perspective, is one of the few games I have 100%'d

[stone shell]

this is my besties' assessment on balatro

[hollow grove]

I have that and it seems good but I've never got around to playing it for whatever reason

I guess partly because I got it for free on epic, which I don't use much

[fringe nebula]

gold sticker on wee and greedy

[white flint]

i got it for like 4 bucks on sale on steam

[twin lantern]

Does this look better, I wonder

[fringe nebula]

man it sure is nice knowing that you can still get golden sticker on perishable jokers

[twin lantern]

I did C++ without knowing that

LOL

[fringe nebula]

I DID THAT TOO

like

lmao

[white flint]

wee joker is cool

[twin lantern]

A girl mentioned it to me a few years ago

And I was like "...Right, that's so obvious. I don't know why I never thought about that"

[white flint]

big wee

[willow frost]

this guy is op as fuck

he just does whatever

[vestal copper]

big wees are always so goated

[stone shell]

4.74e6 dang

[willow frost]

whats the biggest written number on a scaling joker anyones gotten

[cloud sinew]

holy shit

[white flint]

its either prob something on wee ig or lucky cat maybe idk

cuz they scale fast

i think bro likes lucky cat

its the same guy from earlier

i think the cat is lucky

[patent sail]

negg ❤️‍🩹

[bronze maple]

how many oops do you have??

[dusty void]

Y'all quick question

So a naneinf with seeded perkeo counts

But if it's seeded neg then what

[woven spire]

Its just an easier naneinf

[dusty void]

I mean yea

But like

[bronze maple]

4k on wee

[woven spire]

Well, yeah if it counts for you why would it matter

[dusty void]

Ion know..

Nvm it's a dumb worry

Thanks though

[bronze maple]

I had a x20 campfire yesterday but that was modded

[woven spire]

mine was filtered seed 🤷🏽

[dusty void]

Brainstorm mod?

[bronze maple]

genuinely hilarious run

[woven spire]

yes

[dusty void]

I love that mod

[hollow grove]

It does count, but seeded vs unseeded should be considered separately imo

Unseeded is more impressive

[dusty void]

True

[woven spire]

same

[dusty void]

But if it's just rerolling for perkeo I guess it's the same

[woven spire]

I only used it for that cuz i feel like its kinda cheating tho

[dusty void]

Because my nameinf I only knew there was perkeo

But I also got a nat negative showman

[bronze maple]

id say its just saving time

you didn't know anything else about it, right?

[hollow grove]

There are other ways to naninf besides perkeo...

But yeah I get what you mean

[woven spire]

nope

[bronze maple]

then yeah your just saving 500 restarts

[dusty void]

Yea perkeoless is also super impressive

[bronze maple]

you still needed to skills to naneinf blind

[woven spire]

i did perkeoless

[dusty void]

I keep fucking up perkeoless

[patent sail]

who up pering they keo

[dusty void]

All I need is typically either retcon or burglar

[woven spire]

lol for me it was easier than with perkeo for some reason

[fringe nebula]

perkeoless naneinf is easier

for me

[woven spire]

same

[bronze maple]

I think my best is e189 unseeded and e258 seeded

[fringe nebula]

i never did perkeo nan because looking for cryptid is such a massive pain

[woven spire]

true

[stone shell]

never play full house chat its never worth it

[fringe nebula]

why is full house represented by planet earth

||because it's shit|| 🥁

[stone shell]

thats probably the best thing that came out of this planet

[vestal copper]

real

[prime tulip]

Guys I can play balatro more now

[vestal copper]

nice

[swift grove]

I'm trying to do c++, what's the best deck for gold stake in your opinion?

[vestal copper]

anaglyph can be quite good

[hollow grove]

Blue for me

A lot of people seem to like yellow as well

Not black 💀

[vestal copper]

with the negative tag

[swift grove]

Yeah I thought about that

[stone shell]

anaglyph for starting out, then pick your comfort deck for the last leg

[swift grove]

Alrighttt

Btw, the 76% C++, is that like the overall progression or the joker stickers

[hollow grove]

I should actually play anaglyph

It's the only deck I haven't even got around to doing on white

Seems so weird though

I don't like being kind of pressured to skip

[somber barn]

I lost 25 games in a row trying to beat black deck for some reason

Most of these were ante 1 losses smh

[split python]

Hard choices

[silk cobalt]

Sell rebate maybe but then u have no massive income

[tranquil steppe]

He is our savior

[split python]

Yeah can't sacrifice econ

[frank grove]

Im probably selling a chad there so you cna copy the rebate with bs and also copy the chad for score if needed

[split python]

Well sock can come back

[frank grove]

i guess but if you're working towards idol im keeping sock probably

[split python]

Yeah I dunno what my perfect goal is

I still have some deck fixing to do

[white flint]

i feel like nebula deck isnt talked enough about seeing how cool it is

[split python]

About half is diamond kings

[hollow grove]

I'd probably just cut one of the Chads but depends what hand you're playing etc

[proven ember]

Who have to go?

If I beat this, I will have 146/150

[vagrant wagon]

Should i take that

Sock

[proven ember]

And bust

[vagrant wagon]

Yeah true

[patent sail]

oh really now

[hollow grove]

I mean, trading card doesn't help w score

[proven ember]

Yea, but it's the only joker left that doesn't have any stocker

I think I will say goodbye to odd todd

[hollow grove]

Ohhhh

[proven ember]

I have pairs high enough

[hollow grove]

Bye bye Todd

[proven ember]

I am so lucky to got both erosion and trading card when I need to glide them

Holy moly

[fringe nebula]

i hate violet vessel

[vagrant wagon]

Same

[proven ember]

Haha ❤️

[vestal copper]

violent vessel

gg

[proven ember]

GG 146/150

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

3 bloodstone runs back to back thats fun

[hollow grove]

Congrats
What do you have left

[willow frost]

ah nice

[proven ember]

Final four are:
Business card - orange
Stone card - orange
Arrowhead - purple
Glass joker - orange

[willow frost]

ill have to switch to my other laptop to find my biggest wee but i think it was around 4k as well

[manic talon]

back to 10 streak, surely this time i can break 20 this month

[patent sail]

stone

its always stone

[proven ember]

Rock and stone

[vestal copper]

not so bad except for stone

[manic talon]

glass is also a bit annoying

[hollow grove]

Ahh cool

Those shouldn't be too bad in that they're actually helpful

Just a matter of finding them in a good run

gl

[proven ember]

Once I get my hands on some stone cards it will be easy

Maybe on plasma deck

[vestal copper]

oops all sixes will be great

[patent sail]

at least it can do something

[vestal copper]

glass and bard value

[proven ember]

Yea

4 jokers and my soul is free

[hollow grove]

I got a natural negative flowerpot today on my black/gold win that I'm happy about

One less useless joker I need to haul across the line

[willow frost]

yeah same, this screenshot is really old i havent played wee in a long time

[proven ember]

I got flowerpot on the polychrome splash run

[manic talon]

matter of finding it, any enhancement based joker means you likely would have atleast 2 to 3 antes that you just be unable to see it because the enhancement isnt there yet

[patent sail]

flower pot 🥀

hell yea get it outta there

[vestal copper]

very lucky

[proven ember]

So business card - any run while focusing on face cards
Stone card- Plasma deck stone card building
Arrowhead - that one deck that have two colours or plasma
Glass joker - pray for all six and him to show up

[patent sail]

i got nat negative chad this run 🎀

and negative del grat with no discards build

[vestal copper]

arrowhead is very good

mid a tier id say

[proven ember]

Never had much use of him tbh

[hollow grove]

Don't forget hanged man counts for glass joker

[proven ember]

Ooh
