[turbid sluice]

today i buy balatro

and this is good game

very

🙂

[inner stratus]

had 2 back to great back runs die to the plant :/

[turbid sluice]

aghhh

[inner stratus]

idk what the odds are on finding directors cut but it doesnt feel good

[rugged bloom]

Most money I've had at the end of Ante 8

[inner stratus]

is that the bull?

[rugged bloom]

That is indeed the bull

[manic zealot]

silly bus go vroom

[fringe nebula]

stone card & obelisk combo is so underrated

ngl

[manic zealot]

absolutely

[hidden musk]

finally beat black deck as my 4th gold stake deck im so thankful i never have to do that again

[patent sail]

i need golden needle challenge to die in a fire

[rugged bloom]

Peak shit

[patent sail]

i get anything good and the game IMMEDIATELY gives me the boss that directly counters it

[rugged bloom]

I should obviously take the wraith right

[molten thicket]

hex the brainstorm obv

[fringe nebula]

this game is spoiling me (drawing this much gold cards with no discard gameplay is something)

[quick cobalt]

I’m working on black deck rn and I hate it so much

[manic zealot]

obelisk is so based

[rugged bloom]

I can't let go of the bull, it's carrying my score, golden ticket has to go now?

[molten thicket]

i mean you don't need ticket

mime is fine

[fringe nebula]

you can take dna later at around ante 15-17

[rugged bloom]

Golden Ticket + Midas Mask + Pareidolia + Sock and Buskin carried

[rugged bloom]

I have red seal gold kings

I can't let go of the DNA

[molten thicket]

but if you're playing bull then maybe selling mime/dna?

[fringe nebula]

you don't need dna at this stage of the game

[rugged bloom]

this is a naneinf push

the bull is there just for the score

until i don't get the baron

so what, DNA goes?

or golden ticket?

[fringe nebula]

dna goes

[rugged bloom]

even with the red seal gold kings?

okay

[patent sail]

if there was a way to portray eternal suffering in the deepest and hottest pits of hell in a balatro challenge, it would be golden needle

[rich mauve]

bwaltro

[quick cobalt]

bwaltwo

[rich mauve]

joker jockey

[rugged bloom]

Couldn't find the baron

[quick cobalt]

the last syllable is pronounced whoa btw

[fringe nebula]

arrowhead gold sticker

[rugged bloom]

It's fine though, the only baron in the seed was ante 3

[subtle drum]

man i could really go for a baseball card bootstraps bull to the moon throwback rn

[rugged bloom]

ykow what

imma try and redo it

with that baron

[patent sail]

[subtle drum]

flowers? for me?? 👉👈

[patent sail]

for dagger

[white coral]

GUYS!!!!!!!!!

Its one joker left

[rugged bloom]

So close

Which joker is it?

[white coral]

Stone joker

Mf doesnt exist

[rugged bloom]

Lmfao

how the hell have you not unlocked him yet

[white coral]

No i have

But i never completed anything with him

So he's worth 9 stickers

8*

[rugged bloom]

What do I do? Sell Sock?

[white coral]

Prolly

[rugged bloom]

Just one run

And you'll get C++

C+ before C is funny

[patent sail]

LMAO

ITS ALWAYS HIM

[patent sail]

have at least 1 stone card in your deck

[karmic totem]

Does anyone know how flower pot interacts with smeared joker? If you reach a boss blind that debuffs one of the suits, it affects all red or black suits with the smear joker. So what I'm saying is, can you activate flower pots with pairs, black and red card, with smear joker?

[patent sail]

also when new level

[white coral]

ARE WE SERIOUS

IS THAT HOW YOU GET HIM

[stark charm]

i think you will win without baron

[patent sail]

yes

[white coral]

is that why he never appeared

[white coral]

At the end of the month :3

[patent sail]

when will your new level appear

[rugged bloom]

I'm trying a naneinf push

[patent sail]

if i have to play golden needle for any longer i will do things

[vestal copper]

this is a run that exists ig

alr i can oneshot vessel with ts

[wanton breach]

sell baron

[vestal copper]

ok bus first buffoon pack

here, win ass seed

[wanton breach]

oh, if that's the case, sell all joker except baron and golden ticket

[patent sail]

sell all jokers and die

[wanton breach]

i mean he got a good money generator

why need to sell anything

[fringe nebula]

rerolled vessel just to get crimson heart....

still survived atleast but damn

[patent sail]

crimson fart sucks ass can we kill him

[wanton breach]

i hate bloodstone

[fringe nebula]

i love cavendish

[rugged bloom]

Already lost the run 🥀

[patent sail]

needed an excuse to send this

[lofty sapphire]

is this the correct way to play balala

[patent sail]

why is your wee not wee

[wanton breach]

you could search for mime or any +mult joker wit that bajilion money

[vestal copper]

thank you flint for almost killing me

[fringe nebula]

5oak card sharp is definitely a choice

[fringe nebula]

TRUE

[patent sail]

funny

[rugged bloom]

Can anyone actually make an ante 1 baron/mime run work

[rugged bloom]

This was technically seeded

[vestal copper]

riff raff from a judgement

[patent sail]

doc can probably idk

[lofty sapphire]

card sharp is mostly there for normal flushes

[vestal copper]

peaking

[lofty sapphire]

im probably just gonna win by playing 2s

[rugged bloom]

earlier the only baron i found was ante 3

so i ran it back with the baron

[lofty sapphire]

it dont matter

[rugged bloom]

got even less far

[wanton breach]

you should choose between card held in hand or card played

[fringe nebula]

no, because chips matters alot more in earlygame

[wanton breach]

CP is stronger early while CIH is stronger late game. but it still depends on come circumstances

[lofty sapphire]

WHAT is stronger early game

[wanton breach]

card played

[rugged bloom]

WHAT is stronger early game

[wanton breach]

oh fu

[molten thicket]

stop abbreviating 😭

[fringe nebula]

wha-

cp is def a way to abbreviate card played

[wanton breach]

what else i should abbreviate it to

💔

[rugged bloom]

Just say card played 🥀

[lofty sapphire]

gay banana!

[rugged bloom]

gay banana

[fringe nebula]

replace seltzer?

[wanton breach]

replace shoot the moon

[rugged bloom]

What are you running?

[lofty sapphire]

idk nothing in particular

was a flush run until i got wee joker and seltzer

now i just play 4-5 twos and win

[wanton breach]

ohh

[lofty sapphire]

why would i do that

then i have no +mult

aside from the supernova

[rugged bloom]

Looks inside
Naneinf push
Looks inside again

[wanton breach]

jk

[lofty sapphire]

word

liking this deck more than i thought i would

[wanton breach]

solid hand

[twin shuttle]

I think I might have found a crazy combo with Immolate, this one gives you a big ass dragon

[rich mauve]

[rugged bloom]

The Yuri has been assembled

[lofty sapphire]

yuri mentioned

(why is it called yuri)

[rugged bloom]

Blueprint x Brainstorm

Photograph x Hanging Chad

[lofty sapphire]

i didnt ask what i asked why

[rugged bloom]

They're lebanese

The Baron calls to me like Loki's mask

Hell nah, all this right before the Verdant Leaf

[weak relic]

I had a run like that before

I won ofc

[rugged bloom]

Yuri Yaoi and that one enby

Do I risk it with the Invis?

I think I have to

ya'll got any idea?

[patent sail]

women kissing!

[rugged bloom]

Should I take the invis?

Yeah good decision

LET'S FUCKING GO

[smoky niche]

me when i lose on ante 7 boss blind because i was playing diamond flush and widow shows up

[rugged bloom]

Hilarious

Holy shit, a perfectly timed ectoplasm

THE NEXT SHOP

[jagged dune]

Why would you take wrath joker

[molten thicket]

wrathful??? crazy

[rugged bloom]

Zany >>>

[rancid gull]

Sell all and take the spade joker

whatever it's called

[white flint]

why is my golden joker gay

[rugged bloom]

Wrathful joker

[rancid gull]

Because it gives you 1.5x mult

Hope this helps!

[white flint]

do i make 2

i js got ankh

from sixth sense

[rancid gull]

8 dollars per round???

Do it

[white flint]

im on yellow deck

[rancid gull]

It’s such a bad play, but I’d honestly do it

lol

[rugged bloom]

Which stake?

[white flint]

orange stake

[rugged bloom]

Hmmm

[white flint]

i can maybe get away with this cuz i got riff raff in shop

[rugged bloom]

basically gold stake minus the rentals

[rancid gull]

Yeah I’d still do it

1.5^2

[white flint]

and i got mail in rebate from riff raff

[rancid gull]

Goated

[white flint]

aalot of money

[rancid gull]

If you find another ankh

Do it

Trust

[rugged bloom]

okay so

question

i need 4 copies for naneinf

when can i ditch the dna and hunt for an invis

This is my current situation

[willow frost]

is that entire deck mostly red seal steel

[rugged bloom]

welll

[willow frost]

show

[rugged bloom]

no actually

should i keep building the steel army

[willow frost]

yes please do

[rugged bloom]

okay then

[exotic orchid]

Top tier build. 👌

[willow frost]

or convert cards to steel kings with death

[rugged bloom]

I'll get an antimatter soon

[white flint]

yeah i have no real way of scoring

[willow frost]

keep some gold for now but not too much

and yeah you can ditch dna whenever you find invis i think

[exotic orchid]

Got 3 gold stickers. 👌 I am very happy. This has been a very productive day.

[rugged bloom]

i'll try to get the antimatter first

wait roffle recently naneinf'd without antimatter

oh he bean bugged

[willow frost]

yeah youre not roffle just do it normally lmao

[rugged bloom]

:(

[willow frost]

sorry

you could be roffle

[cosmic token]

I'm bad at math, do I even consider another hanging chad instead of photograph?

[willow frost]

no

[cosmic token]

okay 👍

[willow frost]

5 triggers x 3 photos is 15
7 triggers x 2 photos is 14
so yeah nah

[cosmic token]

I see I see, thanks 🙂‍↕️

[willow frost]

👍

[rugged bloom]

okay so, time to ditch the DNA for the invis?

[winter estuary]

oof
what a way for this bean glitch run to end

got retcon before ante 8, but antimatter was literally the very last voucher in the shop

bonus: got a bunch of double tags but failed to find negative tag in time

[warm epoch]

guys how do i do naneinf here

[willow frost]

sure

[rugged bloom]

hmm nevermind

i could use some more deckfixing

i'll come for it once i get antimatter

hopefully i get antimatter

[warm epoch]

help pls

[rugged bloom]

what's the issue

[warm epoch]

i can do it you mean?

[willow frost]

well find baron first lol

[warm epoch]

ig i need baron and red seal

[willow frost]

also is it better to not buy a voucher if its shit like magic trick until you find good vouchers, even if it means it might show up again?

[winter estuary]

if I can afford it I will buy everything except planet merchant/tycoon

[cosmic token]

all my kings were hearts 💔

[winter estuary]

although my recent runs have me seriously considering taking eventhat

[willow frost]

even like before ante 8 when youre still looking for jokers?

[winter estuary]

again, if I have the money, sure

[willow frost]

ok cool ill consider it

thanks

[winter estuary]

if you don't find retcon in time you can't make deep runs anyway

[willow frost]

yeah true

[willow frost]

this is unfortunate

[willow frost]

also why do you only have 12 handsize if its a bean glitch run did you take like 10 ectos lol

[winter estuary]

I only got one off on ante 8 for +4 hand size over normal

[wicked rover]

😭

[willow frost]

rip

getting effective bean bug rounds is harder than i thought before i tried some lol

[cosmic token]

this is one of the synergies of all time

[fringe nebula]

yep

that's sixth

sense

[stone shell]

infinite sixes engine

the unending gambling addiction

[covert steeple]

Balatro in a nutshell

[rancid gull]

Just add in hologram too

[fringe nebula]

and add perkeo for the funny incantation shenanigans

[marsh swan]

Stencil my goat

[rancid gull]

YESSS, the random bs go build

Little bit of this

Little bit of that

[cosmic token]

or cryptid for even more 6s 🥹

[fringe nebula]

i've managed got it working twice (once with grim, once with incantation)

[rugged bloom]

didn't get that far

[covert steeple]

Lot better than what I can do

Highest I've ever gotten is Ante 5

[rancid gull]

You need to get a score higher than the number of atoms in the universe

[rancid gull]

Keep grinding, use scalers!!

[rugged bloom]

I needed either an antimatter or a well timed invis/showman

[covert steeple]

Getting on rn

[rugged bloom]

none of which occured

9KM65VN9

here's the seed for anyone who wants to try it

[winter estuary]

I hear you
I have naneinf like 10 times, but all of those are either burglar/serpent or perkeo/cryptid
No chicot / bean runs yet

[rugged bloom]

now at least i know that i can do it

[willow frost]

i have one naneinf and it was burglar serpent lol, my plan for ante 39 is to get a good bean bug because theres no way im getting perkeo, but i honestly cant tell which is more consistent lmao

[rugged bloom]

i should've taken that invis or the showman

[willow frost]

rip gg

[winter estuary]

perkeo on plasma is way more consistent
especially if you learn how to use seance to get your cryptid/ectoplasm

[rugged bloom]

But I can be proud of myself

Cuz I did my best

[willow frost]

ah damn

i will see

[vestal copper]

alr eternal ancient shop 1

rebate and dna too?!

crazy

[dusty void]

Nice that's twice now

Black deck blue stake loss on round fucking 24

I WAS OFF BY 17K

[vestal copper]

damn i died

[dusty void]

WHY DID I SEEL MY FUCKING ILLUSION WHEN I KNEW DAMN WELL LEAF WAS UP

I'M SO DUMB

I DON'T THINK WHEN I PLAY TS BRO

[fringe nebula]

tip : you should try talking to yourself whenever you play balatro

trust me

it works

[dusty void]

THAT'S THE THING

[thin kestrel]

Should i sell dna or perkeo?

[dusty void]

I DO

I TALK LIKE I'M FUCKING DOC

YET I PLAY LIKE RARRAN

[fringe nebula]

def dna

[manic talon]

Baron Pog Baron (its from judgement)

[stone shell]

[fringe nebula]

ALWAYS BELIEVE IN LUCKY CARD FOR ECON

[fickle rain]

Does someone now how to unlock illusion? Im trying to complete my collection, i believe i have bought 20 cars, but the voucher just doesnt appear

[stone shell]

how did you buy 20 cars

crazy money

[glossy forge]

Castle goes for Cavendish right

It's at 80-something

[manic talon]

amber acorn counters luchador, its so over

[cloud sinew]

just gotta buy more, it doesnt display accurately sometimes

[stone shell]

pack it up

[cloud sinew]

How would you feel if Blue Stake made the big blind of Ante 8 have a showdown blind

[dapper sequoia]

Yes!! Reached e56!!! Managed to boost it all at once with The Serpent.

[fickle rain]

I have to get an early Magic trick i Guess, im trying in anaglyph rn with the voucher skips

[manic talon]

assuming you couldnt skip it, would make perishables a bit worse, but otherwise i dont think it would change much assuming the scoring is the same as current big blind

[deft sandal]

Uhh

[stone shell]

imagine the ante 8 lineup is just the wall and the vessel

[deft sandal]

always trust a shop 1 buffoon pack

[manic talon]

also how would it work with director's cut

[stone shell]

take andy for consistency fr

[deft sandal]

fr

[stone shell]

only rerolls the showdown blind ig?

and then after beating them you can reroll the finisher

[dusty void]

FUCK YES

BLACK DECK BLUE STAKEE

BULLSHIT DECK

[oak axle]

Burnt Joker gotta go?

Help

[dusty void]

[strange abyss]

[dusty void]

You don't need it atp

[stone shell]

[oak axle]

I had level 17 high

[dusty void]

Levels don't matter past ante 10

[oak axle]

Only picked it up a few ante

[dusty void]

17 is enough

[stone shell]

gotta hit my obligatory level 100 high card

the e4 is important to the score

e4 or e5

[oak axle]

What x mult is 100 level high card?

[cloud sinew]

erratic dub

[willow frost]

level 100 high card is 1005 x 101

[cloud sinew]

No

Its 995x100

[willow frost]

oh damn

oh yeah true mb

[stone shell]

isnt that 99

[willow frost]

nah it starts at level 1

[stone shell]

ah wait thats 99 plutos

[oak axle]

Yo guys it hit Mime

Is it alright to have 2 mime

TwT

[tidal wolf]

[oak axle]

@stone shell

Yo it hit mime

Ugh

Double soul ante 2

[weak relic]

Yeah my best hand got reset unfortunately

Cuz

[rose wolf]

holy crap lois

[weak relic]

Insanity

[median summit]

I feel like perishables should be 25% off, ngl

[weak relic]

Baseball card my favorite

[median summit]

Not perishable like Popcorn, where it dies no matta wat, but perishable stickered jokers (Popcorn would get 25% off if gotten w/ Perishable)

[rose wolf]

i ended up getting my first ever e score in this run 😭

i got a fifth madness after this screenshot was taken

[median summit]

Are YOU mad, @rose wolf?

[fringe nebula]

i refuse to believe that this is ante 2

[rose wolf]

i couldn't be happier

[median summit]

Mad as in loco cuckoo bananas

[rose wolf]

i have DREAMED of a run like this for SO long

[glossy forge]

Perkeo + Trading card is so strong 😂

I'm not even halfway through Ante 8

[oak axle]

GANG DO I ECGO

Ecto

[fringe nebula]

dice hallucination is kinda crazy ngl

[fringe nebula]

make sure it won't hit yorick

[patent sail]

top up tag just gave me a nat negative

[willow frost]

discord thinks youre a spammer fsr lol

[patent sail]

first judgement with nat negative drunkard, now top up tag and nat negative crazy joker

[pastel pagoda]

I gently use the ectoplasm...

[vestal copper]

crazy

[willow frost]

man lmao

[stark charm]

whose idea it is to add this ass blind

[pastel pagoda]

Why didnt you just skip it?

[patent sail]

whoever made cryptid i guess

[willow frost]

how do you have an absolute ap joker

[patent sail]

not even etrnal

absolute

[willow frost]

yeah that one

[stark charm]

enter dungeon challenge

[willow frost]

oh ok

i dont remember the challenges lol

[stark charm]

i think it cant be debuffed

[vestal copper]

in cryptids eternals can be killed right

[willow frost]

yes

[patent sail]

i guess idk

[stark charm]

how?

[vestal copper]

:nails:

[zinc willow]

So i got a pretty good ancillary benefit from my job, in about 1 oit of every 7 jobs I get a free 2 Tera hard drive

[willow frost]

absolutes are like eternals but even more eternal

[stark charm]

oh like this another ass boss blind?

[strange compass]

What is the best order for my jokers? Who should I copy with BS?

[willow frost]

eternals can be destroyed by gateway or have their sticker removed

absolutes cant

[stone shell]

guaranteed 2 tarots is pretty nice

[vestal copper]

gateway bypasses eternals huh

[sharp junco]

MONEY!!!!!!

[willow frost]

i believe

[strange compass]

Any help?

[oak axle]

rest in piece

Rip to my 5 natural neg jokets

-# the banana killed itself

[nimble matrix]

Hi I just wanted to say I finally reached completionist :)
Now, C+ and C++... Uhh......

[fringe nebula]

do i even need more money at this point

[stark charm]

greed is infinite

if you dont have 1000$ you fail balatro

[patent sail]

i crashed my bus

for the first time

[rugged bloom]

MIME FROM A JUDGEMENT

[formal shore]

why

[patent sail]

oh my goddddd fuck you needle

[jagged dune]

I love erratic deck

[patent sail]

i had a negative bus

[covert steeple]

Real, the Needle sucks

[jagged dune]

Guess that joker behind the you win thing

[mental cypress]

rocket blueprint and the baseball guy

[jagged dune]

correct

You know your balatros

[covert steeple]

I haven't played enough Balatro to know that

I've only had the game for a week and a half

[strange compass]

Does this have naneinf potential?

I got like 5 hanged man in this

I also got the retcon voucher

[rugged bloom]

we might be onto something chat

[broken swan]

This game really tests my greed

[willow frost]

no wtf is this

[frank grove]

no

[dusty void]

Yes

[strange compass]

I was playing straights with that 4 oak x mult joker and erosion for mult. It was really fun cuz I got so many hanged man

[willow frost]

good for you, thats a good ante 8 run

[strange compass]

Was playing straights early ante and then shifted to 4oak later antes

[dusty void]

Erosion is so fucking good it's not funny

Genuinely won me so many runs

[fringe nebula]

lucky cat and grimbo

[rugged bloom]

guys i have a question related to naneinf

[fringe nebula]

tell

[dusty void]

Shoot

[dusty void]

:(

[rugged bloom]

So I have all the 5 base jokers I need

I know that I need 4 copy effects

[dusty void]

Yeap

[rugged bloom]

that's fine

I know I have to make red seal gold kings first

[lyric karma]

which stake is better to unlock merry andy?

[strange compass]

I mean I have like one of the jokers and I was able to do alot of deck fixing with Hanged Man and Death

[rugged bloom]

then red seal steel kings

[terse vale]

white

[fringe nebula]

you don't need to have dna this early

[rugged bloom]

How do you unlock it again?

[terse vale]

how do you unlock it again

[dusty void]

Wasn't it

Like

[rugged bloom]

so what do I do for now then

[fringe nebula]

rebate

[lyric karma]

I didnt unlock it before

[rugged bloom]

bruh

[fringe nebula]

or golden tiket

[frank grove]

you're missing everything actually

[fringe nebula]

replace dna with rebate or golden ticket

[frank grove]

and an eternal erosion is not compatable

[rugged bloom]

Win in 12 rounds or quicker

[strange compass]

You have to discard 5 jacks at the same time I think

[rugged bloom]

White stake

[rugged bloom]

That's hit the road

[dusty void]

Anaglyph white stake

[strange compass]

I got BS and retcon

[rugged bloom]

Merry Andy is Win in 12 or fewer rounds

[lyric karma]

aight

[rugged bloom]

so when do i start making gold red seal kings

[strange compass]

Oh ye this. Anaglyph or Plasma is good for this

[rugged bloom]

then steel red seal kings

[frank grove]

yeah? and 0 red steel or red seal kings at all

[rugged bloom]

Go on plasma white stake, go all fucking in on chips

[dusty void]

Once it hits e13

Or e12

So like ante 12

[cloud sinew]

c9 would go crazy

[stark charm]

i accidentally crashed one time and cooked instaenously

[dusty void]

Yummy

I can't wait to gold stake black deck

I'm gonna go for nebula after

Then the rest is smooth sailing

[strange compass]

I can strength the Jack maybe? I'll play through it normally and see if it could've gone differently with Ghost Deck

[rugged bloom]

i'm at ante 10 already

so i think i might as well start making red seal gold kings

[frank grove]

you need empty joker slots, the eternal erosion doesnt work

[dusty void]

Yea make golds

[strange compass]

Aw

[dusty void]

?

[frank grove]

to naneinf

[dusty void]

Do you mean stencil?

[strange compass]

I got the blank voucher as well btw

I can pray for antimatter

[frank grove]

yeah i guess

but still you need like 4 copy jokers

[strange compass]

4? How many do you exactly need

[frank grove]

its on blue deck so that makes it harder

[strange compass]

Baron,Mime,BS, BP, BP/BS and Errosion

I'll need an ecto too

[ebon maple]

Good run

[strange compass]

Why blue deck?

[ebon maple]

Should i try and take it to endless or nah?

[long hazel]

is the four finger joker any good

[frank grove]

how do you expect to get like 100 red steel kings?

[frank grove]

you're playing on blue deck, which makes it harder to naneinf, plasma is far easier

[strange compass]

I c

[strange compass]

Ye I probably can't do it on this

[patent sail]

another W for the obelisk nation

[raw whale]

synergy?

[patent sail]

dont ask me why my build is just things and stuff

[wicked rover]

am i cooked?

[frozen shale]

hm this is cool

[frank grove]

yeah with only 3 copy jokers you would need like 110-120 red steel kings in hand

[raw whale]

not necessarily if you have a stable chips/mult/xmult

[frozen shale]

eternal stencil?

[lyric karma]

the unpopular duo

[cloud sinew]

:(

[frozen shale]

I wanna beat gold stake

[cloud sinew]

hi red but bye blue

[lyric karma]

Should i grab bloodstone?

[strange compass]

I c thanks for answering some of these things.

[fickle mesa]

thats such a tiny obelisk omg

[patent sail]

ante 5 obelisk jumpscare

i was like "ok thats what were doing now"

[digital pewter]

oh my god bruh

i almost got another three stickers

[patent sail]

and also full skipped last 2 antes cuz i was getting close to crashing it

[wicked rover]

crap

[cloud sinew]

hex and ankh... ik trance but i think this is optimal

[strange compass]

Why not play Ace there to power up STM

[wicked rover]

ggs

[digital pewter]

i did, it just still ended up losing

[strange compass]

Tragix

[digital pewter]

rearranged the queen orders and everything

i had four discards too...

i literally scored millions with one hand

[warped herald]

I used a brainstorm on Stuntman and it only copied the +250 chips,not the -2 hand size. Is that meant to happen?

[weak relic]

Guys how to beat this game?

Im a newbie

And that's just my high score

[warped herald]

You are using plasma deck. That means you beat the game on blue stake.

[long hazel]

wondering is i should skip out on four fingers to keep the polychrome acrobat. Been tryna get help but not receiving it

[patent sail]

try to not lose

[ebon maple]

Should i take it?

[weak relic]

But how

[long hazel]

I like playing flushes but im not getting any this round

[patent sail]

play cards

[weak relic]

[sage ore]

sell one of the color jokers

[long hazel]

why? blueprint makes them kinda useful in the early game

[ebon maple]

Not sell the acro, sell either glutonous or the diamond one

[sage ore]

u r good

[broken swan]

If it works don't touch it!

[long hazel]

i mean another option is that i could sell either gluttonous/greedy and then buy four finger

[ebon maple]

Acrobat a lot better and if you are playing flushes you should focus on only one volor

[sage ore]

hand will give upgrade the stars joker

[sage ore]

yey

[long hazel]

true yeah

the issue is

i love playing flushes but i have no flushes this run 😭

thats why im so indecisive

[warped herald]

Is 5 cards the minimum hand size or something?

[long hazel]

i like clubs so i can sell the diamond one, and then get four finger?

[rugged bloom]

Canon event

[long hazel]

does that sound like a good game plan

[ebon maple]

Then go four fingers and sell diamond or gluttonous

[sage ore]

yess

[ebon maple]

What is your deck?

[sage ore]

absolutely

[long hazel]

u mean seed?

[ebon maple]

Nono, how is your deck looking

[sage ore]

no no deck

[long hazel]

blue

wait

hang on

[ebon maple]

Thus

[long hazel]

sorry im still relatively new

[ebon maple]

Np

[long hazel]

i think i should sell the clubs one then

[sage ore]

sell the clubs one

[ebon maple]

Sell clubs

[long hazel]

gotchu

i appreciate the help, i was worried this server was gonna be unfriendly

[sage ore]

and try to get more diamonds with tarot

[ebon maple]

Some are some arent

[long hazel]

i love tarots

[ebon maple]

But ask without worries

[sage ore]

it always help a lot

[weak relic]

I knew it'd happen

[ebon maple]

Get planted

[frozen shale]

here I am now

[stark charm]

Where is my observatory stack

[long hazel]

aight thanks

[warped herald]

can I see my run seed before losing the run

[long hazel]

i may be back cuz i need to get some help with modding later, which i assume there are channels for that

[broken swan]

Campfire burned it all 🔥

[fringe nebula]

gold red seal until ante 18

or something

chat would you greed and make 3 gold cards

or open buffoon pack

[stark charm]

Greed have no limit

[ebon maple]

Greef

[warped herald]

I have a kinda busted run I'd like to share but I didn't lose yet

[ebon maple]

When you win ante 8

[warped herald]

I'm in ante 4 Rn,but the run has the malicious trio of blueprint,brainstorm and photograph

[long hazel]

FUCK YEAH things are going in the right direction

[warped herald]

Would you believe me if I said I lost the run

[long hazel]

nvm

[warped herald]

I just miraculously didn't draw a SINGLE face card

[rugged bloom]

UNSEEDED PERKEO BRUH

what do I do

[warped herald]

F6U9P5D2 Seems to be the seed

[fringe nebula]

make alot of temperance/hermit/strength/death

also try to find sixth sense

[rugged bloom]

Will do

[harsh relic]

looks fun

[rugged bloom]

what about perkeo observatory?

[fringe nebula]

assuming you even get observatory at the first place

[rugged bloom]

nevermind i lost it

[long hazel]

i am tempted to skip but is it really worth it

my joker set is kinda good as is

[raw whale]

devious

[fringe nebula]

do it

do the double bones

and die

[stark charm]

inf life

[fringe nebula]

trust me it will cause a funny thing

[long hazel]

i'll take the risk

maybe it'll be really good idk

[raw whale]

i don't have anything to remove all cards from the deck

at least not something i can rely on to avoid dying until then

or does it work even without that

[fringe nebula]

oh right

[rugged bloom]

shop one blueprint

[long hazel]

i was hoping for dna but got something that's kinda trash rn

[rugged bloom]

this is insane

[raw whale]

actually do you need 0 cards in entire deck or just run out of cards while playing?

[long hazel]

wait wait

HANG ON

[long hazel]

I should ge the voucher maybe, and then spend on the tarot and also get vagabond

[rugged bloom]

this is insane

[long hazel]

I think it might be able to add up later even if acrobat is polychrome

would that be a good play

[fringe nebula]

find an econ joker

[fringe nebula]

good

[rugged bloom]

this is wild

[fringe nebula]

take gift card

[rugged bloom]

nevermind lost

insane

[fringe nebula]

simple math

[ebon maple]

Plant? Or no chad?

[fringe nebula]

taking runner at ante 4 is simply too late

[atomic trout]

Double gay Bean

[warped herald]

How does one beat blue stake on blue deck

[warped herald]

No chad + didn't get face cards

[fringe nebula]

play pairs

[ebon maple]

Shhh

[ebon maple]

Explore other strategies

[atomic trout]

High Card it is 😀

[ebon maple]

Durisimo hermano

[warped herald]

I mostly skip only the first blue blind due to economy then with whatever I get I plan around it

[fringe nebula]

you have -1 discard, so what will you do? there are 2 options
-fix your deck harder
-play easier hands like pairs

[rugged bloom]

yeah i shouldn't have greeded

[ebon maple]

Dont skip most of the times

[patent sail]

this was such a dumb win

[ebon maple]

Only investement is worth it 90% of times

[frozen shale]

eternal idol yay or nay

[warped herald]

I don't know what deck fixing is I only won like five times and never went beyond ante 8
Plus don't pairs give the least mult aside from high card?

[patent sail]

no

dont touch it

[rugged bloom]

first sixth sense

[fringe nebula]

pairs are spammable, and it's easier to hold blue seal and gold cards in your hand

blue seal is very very strong

[patent sail]

deck fixing is forming your deck around what you need to play

[warped herald]

Oh ok,but don't I need spectral deck for blue seal?

I rarely find ones

[fringe nebula]

or get one at standard pack

[warped herald]

And when I do it's usually the "destroy 1 card and create 3/4 cards"

[patent sail]

if you wanna play aces, you make a ton of aces and kill eveyrthing else for example

[ebon maple]

Deck fixing is changing the structure of the deck to favour your one hand type

[warped herald]

Oh so like spamming sun for heart flush?

[ebon maple]

For example using moon when playing clubs

[ebon maple]

Exactly

[patent sail]

i guess so

[ebon maple]

Or using hanged man

[patent sail]

just turning your deck into what you want it to be

[warped herald]

I'll try a pair run,thabks

[atomic trout]

Double Bean sucks

[patent sail]

pairs usually require minimal to no deckfixing as well

[warped herald]

So I got a spectral pack
My choices are

Trance
Immolate
Talisman
Cryptid

All of which I've heard are really good
So what do I take

[stark charm]

you can rely on mult from other source like joker or card hancement

[patent sail]

immolate

[ebon maple]

Inmolate

[patent sail]

immolate any day

light em up

[fringe nebula]

also, if you don't have blue seal, you can get some +chips jokers instead

[frozen shale]

hm

[warped herald]

I'll try that thanks

[frozen shale]

buy hermit use later?

[ebon maple]

Man going from nebula deck to Zodiac is the best feeling ever

[fringe nebula]

use later

[stark charm]

skip for red card value

[ebon maple]

Yees

[fringe nebula]

once you have like $10

[warped herald]

I don't have red card + is that a DQ pfp I see

[ebon maple]

Its a joke, some tips are

[stark charm]

yep mr yisang

[ebon maple]

Almost never skip inmolate

[stark charm]

free money+ easier deck fixing

[ebon maple]

Thats wyy almost never

[fringe nebula]

i would also suggest you to try high card build btw, it's pretty funny

[stark charm]

i love highcard my top hand

[warped herald]

For high card build are stone cards worth considering? My first ever win was with a stone run with red seals on them

[fringe nebula]

yes

very worth it

especially because high card is lacking in chips department

if you're lacking in chips, just make stone cards

[tacit stream]

On a low hand build Stone cards are good chips buff and also a good edition/gold seal carrier.

[stark charm]

Or... Have chip joker

[fringe nebula]

i really like stone cards because when i find an obelisk i won't have to worry about not having enough chips

[stark charm]

Multiple stone cards still consider highcard and highcard with stones are still high card

And it is all scored

[tacit stream]

Stone cards also soft-delete suits/ranks if you have stuff that runs on random suit/ranks that are not AJ.

[warped herald]

Okay my pair run failed due to rng

I'll try high card this time

[digital pewter]

W pickup

[harsh relic]

high card is very good for spamming ectos too

[warped herald]

Never mind shop said I'm going 3oak

[tacit stream]

kinda late addition, but at least that's another free gold sticker.

[tacit quail]

i am so lucky. 3 left and i pull one in a buffoon pack 🐐 2 left soon

[rugged bloom]

Is this invis ready to pop? Not sure tbh

[odd sorrel]

Ghost deck is so awesome I love this one

[tacit stream]

The Psychic: 😋

[tacit quail]

Pair runs 🐐

+1, 148/150

shortcut done

[marsh swan]

Black deck (ignore the diamond)

[tacit quail]

fucking pareidolia and glass joker left. how do i sticker these

Bro why are you in my a9 sb shop

[digital pewter]

switched out the pareidolia for the hiker because i have trouble getting hiker to fit in non-plasma builds

[tacit quail]

stop being here i wanted you last shop

[long hazel]

Let's say i use the herophant tarot on a card with a gold seal. Does it remove the gold seal?

[digital pewter]

seals and enhancements are separate, so no removal

[tacit quail]

no, seal and enhancement stack

[long hazel]

lit

[digital pewter]

you'll have a bonus gold seal card

[long hazel]

ty

[digital pewter]

same thing goes with editions too

you can have a foul bonus gold seal card all at once

[digital pewter]

i'm wondering what my worst gold stake jokers will be

[tacit quail]

don't know until you find out

sometimes you luckily get hard ones early

[digital pewter]

i've gotten a good over half of them gold sealed but im just trying to guess

yeah

[tacit quail]

my friend who just picked up balatro gold stickered showman like. 1st gold stake win

like man

come on

[digital pewter]

any of the rares ofc will be worse

[digital pewter]

lmao

[hardy fable]

my lasts joker for my c++ was certificate on the 1st one and sock for the 2nd one iirc

[tacit quail]

certificate is the goat ?!

[languid wedge]

Please give me a duplicate, please give me a duplicate, please give me a duplicate, please give me a duplicate, please give me a duplicate

[tacit quail]

just play holocert

i can farm a win if i get cert

[hardy fable]

I sell cert for other stickers most of the time

[digital pewter]

certificate is surprising

sock's slightly understandable but damn

[hardy fable]

all the times I selled cert was for a harder joker to sticker

[digital pewter]

ah

[tacit quail]

iguess yeah

[digital pewter]

alright, well it was good to get perkeo gold stickered

no fumble there

[rugged bloom]

ANOTHER mime from a judgement

[digital pewter]

now is just trib and canio which is gonna absolutely kill me

[tacit quail]

eh, its ok

[unborn flint]

..

[tacit quail]

gold sticker legendary rules

u will always pull those now

until you sticker them

[digital pewter]

i'm just hoping i can get the canio on a run with pareidolia

[digital pewter]

yup

that part i knew

[tacit quail]

i should look for that run

[rugged bloom]

Just went 10 for 10 on my business card

wtf

[digital pewter]

fire

[tacit quail]

i went 8 for 8 space joker once

on first 8

it was fucking ridiculous

never happened again

[rugged bloom]

insane

[digital pewter]

1/4^8??

[tacit quail]

maybe 7 it was definitely 7 or 8

[warped herald]

Genuinely how do I win on blue stake I've tried just about every strat I could

[digital pewter]

dawg

[digital pewter]

PAIRS!!!!!!

[rugged bloom]

insane

[rugged bloom]

odds

[warped herald]

Tried that,died ante 3

[tacit quail]

i also one time had 6/8

[digital pewter]

well you can't just try once and give up

it's all situational

[tacit quail]

well one less but

im not saying that

[warped herald]

Do I try 2pair

[digital pewter]

well like

here's the thing

[tacit quail]

pairs u gotta get the scaler jokers

[digital pewter]

you shouldn't go into a run thinking "i will go x thing"

you need to see what you get and go from there

everything is context dependant

[warped herald]

Saying that because I got square joker & Uranus first shop

[digital pewter]

oh then yeah probably

[tacit quail]

see, good idea

[digital pewter]

at least stick to it for starting off

[tacit quail]

square joker is pairs and two pairs and occasional 3oak or hc

yeh, scale it fully

it's good

[warped herald]

I got gros Michel second shop,I take it,right?

I'm with 13$

[long hazel]

holy fuck this run is GOLDEN lmfao

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[tacit quail]

i love 5oak

[warped herald]

Or do I open jumbo Arcana pack first

[serene forge]

yes

[serene forge]

no

[warped herald]

I got gros,now I have 8$,do I leave or open the pack

[vestal copper]

pairs with scalers

[serene forge]

leave

save money

[warped herald]

Who knows,maybe it's a soul card pack

Oh ok

[tacit quail]

swashy swashy buckly

[serene forge]

do you understand how rare souls are

[molten thicket]

based mentality

[warped herald]

They're like 1/100 no?

Idk

[vestal copper]

0.13%

[light brook]

3/1000

[tacit quail]

Maybe it's a Hanged Man 🔥

[vestal copper]

I think

[warped herald]

Holy

[serene forge]

each card slot has a 0.3% chance of being a soul

[warped herald]

Yeah I am NOT gambling for that

Do I skip small blind for free foil or play it for the money

[tacit quail]

well no

[serene forge]

play it

[light brook]

99% quit before their big win (don’t take it get your interest money)

[warped herald]

I'm on blue stake tho

[tacit quail]

i've had many legendaries but 0 cavendish pops

3/1000

fake

[warped herald]

And I'll only get 1$ interest

[serene forge]

never take joker tags they're not good

[serene forge]

you get hand money

and you see a shop

[molten thicket]

rare joker tag is decent though

[tacit quail]

Nah they were clutch when i had only uncommons left and needed to gold sticker

[serene forge]

and you get to play a round to maybe kill your banana

[warped herald]

Plus I should probably spend that deck to scale my square joker

[light brook]

well it’s for each tarot slot so a pack of 5 is 15/1000

[molten thicket]

if it's like ante 1 sb i'll take a rare tag

[vestal copper]

perishable rental baron

[warped herald]

Okay I got a trash shop with athlete and an eternal superposition

[serene forge]

why

[vestal copper]

when you arent deckfixed

[light brook]

it appears much more often then cav breaking because it has way more chances to happen

[vestal copper]

ahh message

[molten thicket]

if its good then great

[serene forge]

runner is fucking amazing if not for the fact that you had square joker already

[tacit quail]

i think all ante 1 and 2 skips are viable because it's ante 1 and 2 where you can get through with a paper bag and 0.45$ and some dust

[molten thicket]

if its not good then i reset

[tacit quail]

like it's fun

[warped herald]

I have 13¢ do I take an Arcana pack or nah

[warped herald]

I know

[vestal copper]

do you have gold cards or good econ

[warped herald]

I'm in ante 2

[tacit quail]

don't think in streak terms streaks are not for fun players "i have to win every run i play" is nonsense

[vestal copper]

nah

[molten thicket]

its a completely resonable thing to do

[serene forge]

better be ready to reset 95% of your runs then

[vestal copper]

farm that interest

[tacit quail]

Runs don't exist if they only go to ante 2

[marsh swan]

eg

[tacit quail]

Like they don't really count mentally

[serene forge]

what

[tacit quail]

Not real

Have not formed an identity to be called a run

[warped herald]

Ooh,negative tag small blind and rare tag big blind

Should I skip both

[tacit quail]

It's like if you take two steps did you go for a walk

No

[vestal copper]

he made a statement

[serene forge]

if you scribble out the hurricane on the weather report with a marker then the hurricane goes away

[molten thicket]

sure'\

[serene forge]

no

don't skip those

[warped herald]

So I don't take them?

[serene forge]

nope

[tacit quail]

It's more of a conceptual thing of "do not think about it below a2 because it depends too much on what you get"

[vestal copper]

skipping is bad

[serene forge]

both bad tags

[warped herald]

And i scale out my square?

[molten thicket]

if it means i have an easier time with the 1 run i do

[warped herald]

Thought negative was good tho

[serene forge]

nah

[serene forge]

you have the wrong mindset i think

[tacit quail]

it's for fun

[long hazel]

I AM CACKLING RIGHT NOW

[tacit quail]

the only thing i mandate on myself a1 is i do not play the run if i don't win in 1st hand a1sb

It's bullshit if I don't pull 300 score and the run is cursed and i hold r

[serene forge]

reasonable

[tacit quail]

Money up

[serene forge]

I used to do that all the time but i stopped doing that recently

[vestal copper]

i do the same tbh

[lyric karma]

man anaglyph is so fun

[tacit quail]

As for the rest i think ante1 i will honestly go for skips for the variety

I do it alot

a2 only if it's good like 25$

but not if i have scalers
