[serene forge]

hm okay I guess game design elements are considered gambling now

fucking hell

[granite tusk]

3 dollars 1/4 odds

[daring perch]

why play 4oak when you could spam pairs

[ebon maple]

Its evil

[ripe gull]

yea 4oak is just better then both

[noble ermine]

pretty sure balatro has stakes and odds

[ripe gull]

because its better in some situations

[daring perch]

mmm steak

[heady narwhal]

presumably because it's addictive and potentially very harmful

[ripe gull]

mfw i tell them that you cant force 1 strat forever

[knotty zodiac]

gacha games with lootboxes: not gambling
a bit of green felt and chips: gambling

[ebon maple]

Why play pairs when you can play full house

[daring perch]

you kind of can tbh

[serene forge]

the solution is to add a gacha system to balatro

[spring granite]

exactly, that's why it's definitely a gambling game

[serene forge]

since people apparently love gambling so much

[granite tusk]

i dont know man, it's not like people develop addictions and lose all of their money and their lives or anything

[spring granite]

you're right I love gambling

[ebon maple]

Pairs: hi 👋🏻

[compact gazelle]

didn’t the pegi rating get reverted after playstack went after them

[errant bolt]

Fair ig

[daring perch]

i gotta get my 6 star swimsuit edition negative blueprint

surely this time

[frank grove]

somewhat reverted

[serene forge]

I wonder how many pulls it'll take to get a 4 star yorick fr

[compact gazelle]

if you force pairs forever you’ll never unlock the duo tho
:3

[frank grove]

i think balatro is now a 12 instead of an 18 which is mostly reverted

[fringe nebula]

i thought this is kind of obvious, but alot of people have lost wealth and stuck in debt due to gambling

[daring perch]

true...

[serene forge]

so true

[ripe gull]

if you want to win consistently you dont play solely pairs

[ebon maple]

What is it requiremen?

[errant bolt]

My philosophy with actual gambling has always been, "never bet anything you aren't prepared to lose"

[ripe gull]

winstreakers will use them a lot but it is not forced

[heady narwhal]

win without playing a pair

[granite tusk]

win a run without pairs

[serene forge]

every noob's first run is flushes it's fine

[compact gazelle]

win run
no pairs

[fringe nebula]

also, some of the machines are intentionally rigged

[knotty zodiac]

they did. but the original decision is still just as absurd

[ebon maple]

Thanks guys

[knotty zodiac]

rating agencies and their laziness

[ebon maple]

Casinossssss

[noble ermine]

balatro is a gambling game because I pick ouija in the spectral pack

[ebon maple]

Hate them

[daring perch]

if you're good you can definitely force runs to be pair runs. many runs will have stuff that drives you towards something else but you can do it

[spring granite]

and the circle goes in the- that's right. It goes in the pair hole

[compact gazelle]

there’s a wheel and a chip
good enough for them i guess

[daring perch]

the runner? that's right it also goes in the pair hole

[ebon maple]

Localthumb has talked about the new banana anynore?

[ripe gull]

if you are trying to win consistently no you dont otherwise you arent good forcing pairs just makes it so you lose anytime you get unlucky with it

[daring perch]

[compact gazelle]

“wheel of fortune is a roulette” moment

[frank grove]

i dont think so

[fringe nebula]

casinos are designed to attract people with their shiny neon lights and ringing bell noise and stuff

[serene forge]

I hate Ouija

[ripe gull]

winsteakers will use them a lot but no where near enough to force it if something better is available

[daring perch]

oh thats whos family i got for winning black deck gold stake

[spring granite]

idk, I've heard pairs are necessary to win

[knotty zodiac]

more news at 11

[ripe gull]

easier 3oak
dies to drawing rng on 3oak

[compact gazelle]

and the no windows
and the advertising
and the fake skill factor

[noble ermine]

wow I bet you think balatro isn't a gambling game either

[serene forge]

I always die inside whenever people say weegee is good for 4oak/5oak

[ebon maple]

Fuck draws

[dawn gulch]

Ans that's why you go Pear

[ebon maple]

Wtf is weege

[spring granite]

ouija

[daring perch]

i dont want them either can you win black deck gold stake rq

[ripe gull]

luigi

[spring granite]

the walluigi

[ebon maple]

I died due to not finding a second pair once

[granite tusk]

it's kind of crazy that casinos ethics seem tame compared to the roblox devs and streamers that relentlessly push gambling on children

[compact gazelle]

those guys don’t know what they’re talking about because ouija isn’t good

[spring granite]

what if he's just really lucky

[spring granite]

should've used more lucky cards

[daring perch]

true...

[ebon maple]

It is affected by rng, it is not gambling

[daring perch]

$20 is coming this time trust

[serene forge]

you should stick around to see amphy's messages

[ripe gull]

been gone for so long

[spring granite]

I remember when this was posted lmao. When did this become a reaction image.

[ripe gull]

you arent even newgen anymore

gg

[ebon maple]

Isnt that due to them serving alcohol though?

[compact gazelle]

didn’t bitcoin baron eventually figure some stuff out and get their first win a while ago

[dawn gulch]

I always picked Sigil so i can either Bloodstone maxing or lose to the suit bosses

[serene forge]

shut the fuck up loser

[spring granite]

wholesome arc

[ripe gull]

:(

[knotty zodiac]

dry gambling still illegal iirc

[ebon maple]

Below 18 right?

[noble ermine]

a man of culture

[serene forge]

89 reactions is crazy holy moly

[ebon maple]

I think 18 and 21 is due to alcohol building, could be wrong

[errant bolt]

I wonder what deck/build he was playing

[ripe gull]

red

[dawn gulch]

Source: Balatro

[ebon maple]

What are thosd calcz

[compact gazelle]

probably flushes

[brittle umbra]

ok so, if I want Balatro on my pc, I can have it cheaper because I already have vampire survivor ? neat

[daring perch]

btw if anyone is new to the chat calc is short for calculator

[errant bolt]

Give flush gamers more credit than that smh

[sand lily]

The Needle in the early antes is Adolf Hitler: The Boss

[compact gazelle]

no.

[spring granite]

please don't slander my most played hand 😣

[orchid pumice]

u suck

[brittle umbra]

Ik, I already have it

[knotty zodiac]

https://www.shouselaw.com/nv/defense/nrs/463-350/

[compact gazelle]

he does indeed
sucks a lot of things I think

[knotty zodiac]

ofc other states vary

[ebon maple]

No but seriously, am i dumb or wouldnt it be 5x1 and 3x2?

[ebon maple]

Usa things crazy

[ebon maple]

It actually doesnt full counter, does counter thogh

[daring perch]

extra photo

[ripe gull]

the difference in upvotes lmao

[compact gazelle]

one copier on photo and one on chad vs both copiers on photo

[spring granite]

truth nuke vs liedrogen bomb

[wintry ice]

tough choice tbh

[ebon maple]

Oh so its 2 copies yeah mb, was thinking 1 blueprint onlye mb mb, its late here

[noble ermine]

vs coughing baby

[ebon maple]

Oh so its 2 copies yeah mb, was thinking 1 blueprint onlye mb mb

[daring perch]

go madness

[serene forge]

top mind of r/balatro just solved gold stake

[wintry ice]

madness has an advantage i guess

[compact gazelle]

(feat. coughing baby)

[granite tusk]

she credit card in the buffoon pack until i skip for red card value

[daring perch]

i ❤️ madness

[ebon maple]

Clearly skill issue

[wintry ice]

reddit being stupid is old news at this point

[daring perch]

just play erratic deck smh

[spring granite]

jokes on them I build into regular flushes, saves on deck fixing so I can focus on the real win criteria

(lucky cards)

[noble ermine]

and people say balatro isn't a gambling game

[granite tusk]

red card is easy fast scaling unconditional plus mult at a common

[daring perch]

unconditional my ass

it is easy fast scaling though

[wintry ice]

this would be decent as an eternal

[compact gazelle]

what
crimson heart?

[granite tusk]

unconditional in round at least

[shell dagger]

it’s unconditional scoring

[wintry ice]

it gives you score no matter what you play

[shell dagger]

un debatable

[daring perch]

oh i thought you meant unconditional scaling

[ripe gull]

hi vic and rt

also true

[spring granite]

red card requires me to have self control and not take everything from every pack

[fringe nebula]

||trading card might be the worst card in the game, and HERE is why:
when you draw your cards, you have a bunch of cards and they all have value
so when you DESTROY a card, it's gone, and you can't turn it into a gold, so you lose out on over $40 over the course of the run. also, just like that, it's harder to make a straight! you're screwed! and then you get 3 dollars for it, which isn't even an interest step! only like 30 jokers are 3 dollars or under, so it's basically useless. Also, with blue stake, you only have 2 discards and when you use one on a single card (TO HURT YOR FUTURE ODDS MIGH I ADD), you now cut your discards in HALF. that's even worse than what blue stake did, reducing by a third! everyone hates blue stake, so think about it!!!!
finally, it's a uncommon which means that it takes up a valuable uncommon skip slot for The Idol which is the best joker in the game.||

[shell dagger]

hello

[wintry ice]

hi wall

[granite tusk]

+3 mult if conditions

new joker idea

[wintry ice]

are you made out of bricks or wood

[ebon condor]

how to unlock the scribbled joker

[wintry ice]

honestly

[compact gazelle]

30 jokers below $3
what have I not unlocked!?

[daring perch]

new deck idea: +1 joker slot -2 handsize

is this good

[knotty zodiac]

is this real lol

[wintry ice]

i think i am in a situation where i'd take a photo with no chad

[compact gazelle]

discard a royal flush hope this helps

[ebon condor]

no

[fringe nebula]

and focus on planet levels yeah

[wintry ice]

trading card sucks because it's -1 discard

[compact gazelle]

trading card sucks because it could have been yorick

[fringe nebula]

that thing is still stuck in my head

[wintry ice]

yorick sucks because it could have been rebate

[fringe nebula]

burnt joker is bad because you have -1 discard

[daring perch]

trading card sucks because it doesnt sell for as much as blueprint

[ancient gyro]

it could've been burnt

[compact gazelle]

rebate sucks because it could have been two rebates

[daring perch]

rebate sucks because it couldve been oops parking

[spring granite]

burnt joker triggers 300% more often than space joker though

[noble ermine]

blue stake sucks because it could have been gold stake

[knotty zodiac]

rebate sucks because it could have been seance

[wintry ice]

i took seltzer for flint my risk calculation skill is better

[compact gazelle]

rebate sucks because it could have been negative rebate

[daring perch]

burnt joker triggers infinitely more often than space

[errant bolt]

sucks

[shell dagger]

erm

[spring granite]

space isn't infinite silly

[noble ermine]

two space jokers worked pretty well for me tbf

[compact gazelle]

well we don’t actually know that all we know is the edge of the observable universe

[noble ermine]

maybe you guys are just bad at the game

[wintry ice]

where the fuck were my face cards

[fringe nebula]

on painted too

[noble ermine]

second and third on the left

[fringe nebula]

wow

[noble ermine]

hope that helps

[ancient gyro]

in abandoned deck

[daring perch]

stole them for erratic

[wintry ice]

i should probably just go with flushes if i have no levels on anything else

[compact gazelle]

in the pile of 17 cards duh

are u dumb or what

[knotty zodiac]

i guess on the upside, fib would have died here too

[wintry ice]

do i go shortcut again

[compact gazelle]

yes yes yes yes yes

[daring perch]

yes

[digital pewter]

hey! that's not-... hope this helps!

[daring perch]

straights are callin

g

[sterile zealot]

What do we cut for the chad

[noble ermine]

you're right

[compact gazelle]

I’d pivot out of naneinf baron mime for a shortcut straights build

[daring perch]

parei

[ancient gyro]

I wouldn't atm but u can if u wanna

[compact gazelle]

80 strengths is light work

[daring perch]

TRUEEEEEE

[granite tusk]

straight builds on gold stake 🔥🔥

[daring perch]

i ❤️ straights

[spring granite]

my worst streak of space joker was with it itself not triggering 12 times in a row, but with a retrigger on it I did get some value at least

[compact gazelle]

straight builds 🔥 🔥
FTFY

[noble ermine]

are gay builds being added in the update?

[harsh relic]

300 upvotes is sad

[digital pewter]

remembered drspectred's mod that makes all mentions of straights into gays

[daring perch]

can't believe gold stake players are homophobic

[wraith slate]

rip fun black deck white stake run, only $190 nat negative egg

[compact gazelle]

probably not, but players have made resource packs to fulfill that

[daring perch]

all builds are gay builds

[wintry ice]

i already have a sticker on it

so

[willow frost]

no retcon? thats brutal

[ancient gyro]

ight

[wraith slate]

yeah, no retcon, no overstock+, no overstock for like 20 antes, got 3 bean bug triggers on ante 16 but got no ecto

[granite tusk]

what about straight builds

[noble ermine]

the gayest, in fact

[willow frost]

rip

[woven spire]

la

[knotty zodiac]

the planet scaling is overcompensating for something

[wraith slate]

actually did get overstock+ but no retcon or first version lol

[compact gazelle]

hey
saturn is perfectly average.

that’s rude

[granite tusk]

was so confused about your jokers until i realized it was black deck

[sterile zealot]

Braindead build is complete

[granite tusk]

this is the most standard balatro build i think ive ever seen

[harsh relic]

r/balatro build

[knotty zodiac]

two days later:

r/balatro: here's why the plant should not exist

[sterile zealot]

Is it time?

I’ve played 13 two pairs

[granite tusk]

a redditor will make 13 posts asking what's the next thing to replace just to die on ante 12 with this build

[granite tusk]

whatever you do don't take ramen

[fringe nebula]

i disagree because rtb

[knotty zodiac]

"i had retcon but i forgot to reroll"

[sterile zealot]

No like do you think

It would be correct here

[harsh relic]

frrr 😭

[sterile zealot]

To take the obelisk

For my first blue stake win

Hands look like this rn

[fringe nebula]

yes take obelisk

because you have a source of chips

[sterile zealot]

What do I pitch for obelisk?

[granite tusk]

scary

[knotty zodiac]

take if you can play 2p a few more times

[fringe nebula]

play 2pair like 2 more times ig

[sterile zealot]

Hmm I’m barely surviving the blinds as is

[granite tusk]

you have enough chips with chad you don't need scary

[knotty zodiac]

hm id do the math a bit more closely. if you really cant play a bit more 2p, ramen is prob better

[granite tusk]

if your barely surviving maybe take ramen and reroll to $50?

[brittle umbra]

how do i use stone cards ?

[granite tusk]

you play them?

[granite tusk]

what does your deck look like

[spring granite]

free 50 chips onto any 4 card or less hand type pretty much

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[sterile zealot]

Maybe we don’t need obelisk anyway

[spring granite]

can make great use of them with plasma especially

[clever summit]

Hi all, my friend and I are having this problem where we'll be individually playing our own run singleplayer. And within 5 minutes the game starts freezing up, black screen, goes back to game and it instantly crashes back to the desktop and it just repeats if we open and play again. We've verified game files, updated our graphics drivers etc but stuck on what to do.

How do we fix it?

It never did this when I had the game on gamepass. This only happens on the steam version of the game

[knotty zodiac]

earlygame: +50 chip to your hand is pretty good.
lategame: vampire food, drivers license support, unlocks stone joker for gold sticker

[granite tusk]

just hope you don't get the plant next ante

[serene forge]

it's a good chip source and it also deckfixes for rebate

[woven spire]

boom

boom

[brittle umbra]

does the stone card count no matter what I put with it ? like two pair and a stone will work ?

[woven spire]

boooom

[serene forge]

skill issue plant doesn't counter photochad

[warped prairie]

swear i cant have a face card build without the plant

[spring granite]

yes

[serene forge]

skill issue plant doesn't counter photochad

[woven spire]

damn

[serene forge]

YOU TOOK A NEGATIVE TAG WHAT ARE YOU DOING 😭

[brittle umbra]

ok so stone with red seal is worth grabbing yeah ?

[woven spire]

no chad tho

[serene forge]

bro you deserve to lose that one icl

[warped prairie]

not looking before clicking obv

[woven spire]

i don’t think there’s a way out lol

[serene forge]

skill issue why the ever loving fuck did they take 2 photos without a chad

[sand lily]

I got obelisk ante 1, what should I be doing?

[spring granite]

a little negative here or there doesn't hurt anyone

sometimes it's hard to resist

[granite tusk]

any red seal is worth it early if your build is centered around hand triggers

just enhance them to see what they are

[warped prairie]

youre acting like chad will be in the shop no matter what lmao

[serene forge]

you should just pretend negative tag doesn't exist and isn't something you can click on

you would win more that way

[knotty zodiac]

hm why skip

[serene forge]

roll more

[woven spire]

Maybe they didn’t see it, but yeah taking negative tag there is a skill issue

[granite tusk]

ive gotten a blueprint from a negative skip before

[serene forge]

and skip less

[granite tusk]

s tier skip tag

[serene forge]

no you havent

[warped prairie]

well ive been hitting 1 bil every time so kinda dont need the money that badly so said screw it ill take a negative

[granite tusk]

yes i have

[serene forge]

you obviously do need the money because you just lost 😭

[frank grove]

you can always use more money

[sand lily]

Balatro players act like you have an entire pool of all the jokers available to you all the time. If you get perishable rental 8-ball or eternal rental showman it's "why didn't you just use (uncommon joker)?"

[woven spire]

why would you take a negative when facing the only boss that can kill you.

[granite tusk]

just let me spread my negative skip agenda bro

[warped prairie]

literally lmao

[spring granite]

build up a single hand type like two pair to 15-20 if you really want to be safe and then go with flush, straight, high card, and pair to scale it really quickly for the ante 5-8 push pretty much.

[warped prairie]

learn to read buddy, wasnt paying attention just like you rn

[serene forge]

roll more

[serene forge]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[woven spire]

There you go, skill issue

[warped prairie]

never said otherwise

[spring granite]

we're Balatro players, a subset of us can't check boss blinds!

[granite tusk]

most balatro players don't know they're one negative skip away from getting negative blueprint

[woven spire]

that’s kinda true

[knotty zodiac]

would be nice if there was a sts style boss preview

[spring granite]

i think I've gotten nat negative blueprint more often than skip tag negative blueprint even on anaglyph

[serene forge]

#🕹・game-discussion message

[granite tusk]

propaganda

[frank grove]

just getting in the habit of looking at the boss blind in the shop after a boss is always a good habit

[warped prairie]

see this guy understands

[serene forge]

i've gotten a nat negative blueprint twice

actually 3 times

[spring granite]

but then most people would need to be able to read as an additional requirement

[serene forge]

ive gotten blueprint from negative skips 0 times because i don't take them because they are bad

[spring granite]

I take them because it's fun to gamble

[frank grove]

name checks out

[spring granite]

but not when I'm in a losing predicament

[serene forge]

this isn't rimworld, losing isn't fun

[knotty zodiac]

guilty. me on psychic dying to charge my square

[spring granite]

nah I think losing is fun occasionally

doesn't really matter if I win if I'm having fun gambling lucky cards anyways

[knotty zodiac]

MUST PLAY 5 CARDS

[olive fiber]

This green deck build is disgusting

[serene forge]

suboptimal ordering

[ancient gyro]

I didn't need to see this

[olive fiber]

Was their a better one?

[olive fiber]

Is it bad?

[sterile zealot]

Is this even a boss blind

[serene forge]

blueprint and carp sharp go far right

brainstorm probably copies flat mult and goes to the left of blueprint

[olive fiber]

Oh that makes sense

[spring granite]

yes, it says in the description

[sterile zealot]

Plasma deck obtained!

[olive fiber]

Dam you got lucky

[sterile zealot]

Blue stake defeated

[sterile zealot]

I was on blue deck I could just burn hands

Until I hit some nonsense

[olive fiber]

Fair

[narrow scroll]

the far right joker should go before the blueprint and card sharp
i can't remember the name

[narrow scroll]

yes because whenever you have bones it targets that

[olive fiber]

Fair but what makes it disgusting is that I used pairs only

[static fern]

😭

[sterile zealot]

Anyways my awesome glass jacks save the day

[olive fiber]

Damn

[sterile zealot]

Glass card Photochad kinda OP

[olive fiber]

Glass?

[sterile zealot]

Yeah cuz Chad works very well with glass

[sterile zealot]

Credit card in the buffoon pack

[spring granite]

the crown calls to you, but you are not filled with greed, and thus pass on to a future unburdened by false riches.

[static fern]

what are you talking about

[wraith slate]

tarot pack into hermit after selling chaos

[static fern]

i just got a Negative Baron

[static fern]

🧐

[wraith slate]

idk if that's enough money tbh lol

[sterile zealot]

Joy: just beat blue stake
Pain: Photochad build

Which do you prefer for gold stake: yellow or bluedeck?

[frank grove]

any but plasma honestly

[sterile zealot]

I like the blue one

[spring granite]

you don't have enough money because you did not horde it nor did you play on yellow deck, and therefore you cannot purchase the card which derails almost every run it appears in early. A Balatro player with purest soul, avoids a fate of cards dealt null.

[manic talon]

blue deck is just yellow deck but you buy the ante 1 grabber, which you would do anyway

[tall sky]

holy fuck I'm eating GOOD tonite

shop 1 nat negative stencil

blue seals into death, into death again

sixth sense with last 6 giving ankh

[manic talon]

letsgo ankh stencil

[sterile zealot]

Blue deck so good

[tall sky]

im getting spoon fed

[sterile zealot]

Is black deck gold stake as evil as people say

[tall sky]

do you like pressing R for 8 out of your 10 attempts

[wintry ice]

so uh

[tall sky]

do i break the symmetry

[wintry ice]

@ancient gyro i'm not trusting you again.

[manic talon]

any blue seals/telescope?

if you do you dont even need it probably

[tall sky]

3 blue seals, 2 of them with steel

[ancient gyro]

oh

[quartz sail]

Trying madness on gold for the first time, if I have all eternal jokers will it still stack?

[tall sky]

and I'm looking to make more copies of it

[manic talon]

its funnier to skip the blueprint

[tall sky]

yeah i agree

let's ride the black n white stencil

roffle video title here we come

[ancient gyro]

were you able to afford that for the shortcut route

[wintry ice]

probably

i mean rebate is there

[ancient gyro]

I mean in between rounds

[proper pollen]

wee joker synergy, hack synergy, fibonacci synergy etc

[wintry ice]

whuh

[tall sky]

yeah we're just

going crazy now

[spring granite]

realizing the eternals can survive madness is a canon event

[ancient gyro]

cause shortcut is 7 bucks (8 with interest)

[covert steeple]

I
LOVE
RESETTING

[wintry ice]

6th sense my beloved

[ancient gyro]

hilarious

[spring granite]

shoot the moon my beloved

[wintry ice]

if anything i could sell stm for it

[quartz sail]

I know they survive, I’ve just been leaving one open slot to feed him. Just want to know if I take a 5th eternal it’ll still grow.

[manic talon]

it do

[ancient gyro]

idk what you're talking about

[spring granite]

it will, purely contingent on small and big blinds

[void lintel]

madness doesn't destroy jokers to scale

[manic talon]

you dont have to feed madness he kills for the love of the game

[void lintel]

joker destroying is a side effect

[wintry ice]

whar

[ancient gyro]

stm is eternal by design

[quartz sail]

Okay, thanks for informing. I’ll let you guys know how it ends. Only my second gold run that might win and I grabbed him as my first

[wintry ice]

what if i don't believe in monarchy

[ancient gyro]

we could always settle with a game of chess

[wintry ice]

is 2 grims enough for a 4oak pivot

(i got a mult card, a bonus card and 2 wild cards from them btw)

[proper pollen]

do I take a 50/50 to get this on bus?

[shell dagger]

No

[uneven laurel]

My mate legitimately thinks blue seals are bad 😭😭

[shell dagger]

no

[ancient gyro]

ew

[wintry ice]

what about 3oak

[ancient gyro]

i wouldn't pivot right away

maybe

[wintry ice]

idk 8 sounds like enough

oh banana is dead

[uneven laurel]

I would cause gambling... You have $52 to find another joker, totally will work out

[ancient gyro]

welp

[wintry ice]

well then

[shell dagger]

pair time

[manic talon]

even if you hit the 50/50 you also lose a polychrome to get a poly anyway so its not really that high of a increase

[ancient gyro]

so about that 4oak idea

[wintry ice]

4oak with steel

clearly

[tall sky]

not even a contest

[shell dagger]

JIJ

[tall sky]

nat neg stencil has to be like

[wintry ice]

oh i actually drew all of my 6s

[tall sky]

a hype run in the making

[manic talon]

no new stencils? damn

[wary crypt]

We love pair builds

[tall sky]

i got two, it's good nough

for not a ghost deck run + not eternal

had to fish for invisible without any econ generation was a little harder

[manic talon]

tbf one stencil is also just enough too

[tall sky]

consider the hype ankh tho

[manic talon]

true

[tall sky]

obviously I'd love to go six stencils

but like also

not a roffle video

[fringe nebula]

here, win

[tall sky]

it would've been so easy if it was a roffle video

[harsh relic]

wee

legit

[wary crypt]

Yea, that was my second gold stake win today

[wintry ice]

great now i can remove all the aces

hopefully i can make a fool out of it as usual

[quartz sail]

Second ever clear, middle one is basic Jimbo

[wintry ice]

oh do i sell trading card already

[harsh relic]

nice 🔥🔥

[granite tusk]

this took 10x more thinking and consideration than naneinfing

[wary crypt]

Ayy

[quartz sail]

Congrats to you too

[lapis lion]

@crashmdo

[wary crypt]

Thank you:D

[knotty zodiac]

me: cert is good
also me:

[sand lily]

vagabond vampire goes nutty

[wintry ice]

i forgot that i was going against plant but still won

free boss

[safe hull]

what's the best order for these

[manic talon]

copy photo unless you have 6 steels

[serene forge]

dying to plant is a skill issue

[spring granite]

that's why shoot the moon is goated

[safe hull]

I have 11 steels

[manic talon]

in hand

at the same time

[wintry ice]

do i just sell rebate now

[vocal rose]

how many gold cards

[wintry ice]

none

somehow

[manic talon]

standard pack has a gold queen trust

[wintry ice]

holo blue 6

not interested

[proper pollen]

:(

[eternal crest]

hi :3

[safe hull]

now how do I fix my deck

[sterile zealot]

Challenge deck idea:
Face your Fears
Eternal Scary Face
48 cards (missing all face cards)

[manic talon]

get more purple seal and gold cards

[safe hull]

why

[sage bough]

Pretty solid run

[steady wharf]

YES!!! I finally got the checkered deck on my stitch and my phone

[edgy stone]

Which deck do u think the best and worst in Gold Stake?

[sage bough]

Yellow and Black

[sterile zealot]

I’d assume the BLUE one maybe

[steady wharf]

Well I would like another hand over discard

[wet flume]

is the soul tarot chance buffed or something because ive gotten like 6 souls in the past 3 runs

[steady wharf]

But that’s just cus I play flush

[edgy stone]

Me too, blue or yellow

[steady wharf]

I don’t think so but the same thing happened to me like a month ago

[serene forge]

I hate Plasma Deck

[wet flume]

okk

[wet flume]

skill issue ngl

[wet flume]

what

[fringe nebula]

beautiful

[steady wharf]

Did you get the soul or are you rage bating us

[wet flume]

no it's saying the ankh is useless

[steady wharf]

Is this a good hand?

[edgy stone]

Black deck is the only deck out standing in my point

[wet flume]

cause it's just gonna destroy the joker and add it right back

[serene forge]

boring

[wet flume]

yes

[sage bough]

What

[serene forge]

that is not how ankh works

[mystic ledge]

i got my easiest run ever, it was finished ante1 , duplicated polychrome ancient joker -> flush to win (feels good after floping many runs today)

[wet flume]

That is not how deez nuts work

[brittle umbra]

ectoplasm or ankh ?

[steady wharf]

I got this a bit ago

[serene forge]

medium

[woven spire]

yeah

[serene forge]

also probably don't open packs when you have 7 dollars

[wintry ice]

idt anything is worth selling everything or getting -1 hand size for

[serene forge]

most skilled photochad and baron user

[brittle umbra]

to any card ?

[wintry ice]

in that screenshot

[brittle umbra]

i'd put it on a 5

[ancient gyro]

jack

[wintry ice]

you could put it on a random even rank

[serene forge]

it doesn't matter that much i think

maybe a king or jack is best

[woven spire]

hatred is growing gawd damn

[ancient gyro]

i like speculative decision ranks so

[minor portal]

what happened here.

[ancient gyro]

jack

[serene forge]

this guy likes plasma deck i had to do it

[woven spire]

oof, fair enough

[wintry ice]

did you

[wet flume]

ok 2 souls back to back like waet

and it's Chicot and yorick

[edgy stone]

Plasma is the second best deck in Gold Stake

[woven spire]

i had 0 fun at gs plasma

[fringe nebula]

plasma gold stake is very unstable

[wet flume]

skill difg

[woven spire]

not enjoyable

[fringe nebula]

even with alot of econ, trying to pivot towards xmult feels really hard

sometimes

but sometimes, you just get a top tier plasma joker and get an easy win

[wintry ice]

self checkmark reacting are we real

[woven spire]

How, not liking a deck because it makes the scoring completely different from the other 14 decks?

[wet flume]

skill diff plasma better

[edgy stone]

Why do we need build around xmult? Chip is enough

[woven spire]

U said all that was needed to say

[fringe nebula]

usually, chips isn't enough to deal with 800k score ante 8

even worse, 2.4 mil violet vessel

[wintry ice]

chip builds die the second they come accross wall or vessel

sometimes even needle

[slow iris]

violent vessel

[serene forge]

why did you edit it you were right

[woven spire]

how do you see unedited messages tf

[serene forge]

my dad works at discord

[wintry ice]

oh yeah

how do i stop vencord from uninstalling itself

[woven spire]

but i wanna know

[wet flume]

there's like 67 plugins that show deleted messages

[slow iris]

use vesktop instead

[serene forge]

it does that every time discord gets updated

you just have to reinstall it each time

afaik

[woven spire]

didn’t even know there are plugins for discord

[wet flume]

IQ diff

[wintry ice]

easy run

[wet flume]

when is the 67 joker

[manic talon]

egg carry

[manic talon]

has made a blood pact to never make a 7s joker

[wet flume]

67 joker will come I can wait

[wintry ice]

when a 6 and a 7 are played and scored, instantly lose the game

[wet flume]

noooo

[manic talon]

finally, splash synergy

[woven spire]

r we deadass

[wintry ice]

oh hey i instantly won the game

[wet flume]

lost

[wintry ice]

lol

[woven spire]

win

i love polychrome grimbo

[daring perch]

67 joker: if you have spent at least 67 milliseconds playing this run, +4 mult

[wet flume]

67 or more cards discarded during the run = 67 image over the blind display permanently saves across runs

[scenic ice]

HELP PLZ

do i take that invis

[wet flume]

Hey king

[wintry ice]

can you affoard selling a baron

also focus more on economy

[woven spire]

copy mime

[wintry ice]

you'll die before you get the material for naneinf at this rate

[scenic ice]

my highest i've gotten is e104

mmmm okie

[wintry ice]

eggswash if it was good

[woven spire]

what how

[scenic ice]

nenver naneinf before but what's the general rule w/ how many baron / mime you need for a super high score

[wintry ice]

instead of +3 mult and +3 sell price every round it's +3 mult and +5 dollars

[woven spire]

4 copy jokers and at least ante 25

for burglar nan

[wintry ice]

4 blueprints or 3 brainstorms and 1 blueprint

and a free slot for burglar

honestly this doesn't sound terrible

getting the hard stickers on this deck will suck

[woven spire]

i see lol

[strange delta]

Hey if I mod Balatro will I still be able to get achievements?

Like the Handy mod?

[tranquil steppe]

Believe it or not, straight to jail

[woven spire]

holographic sly is goated

[strange delta]

+15 chips too?

[tranquil steppe]

They deal in bars of soap there

[woven spire]

if you try to run yeah

[ancient gyro]

i don't get it

[wintry ice]

money and mult

[tranquil steppe]

Yea they’ll bust a cap in yo azz if you run

[left parcel]

Slightly big deck

[tranquil steppe]

Thiccccccccc

[woven spire]

what the fuck is that hologram on

[tranquil steppe]

350

[woven spire]

oh 26

i’m blind

[wintry ice]

it instantly died

probably would be better to not take it because this sticker sucks to get

[tranquil steppe]

You’ll be rewarded with cavendish

[proper pollen]

you ever have a run where you are BARELY scraping byt

[fringe nebula]

yes

i feel yout pain

[wintry ice]

i guess it's better to have a chip joker than to not have one

[proper pollen]

😬 😓 😮‍💨

[wintry ice]

crazy judgement

[scenic ice]

wats the order to do this in lel

i'm thinking sell 1 baron, rip invis, buy showman?

[manic talon]

insane synergy

[scenic ice]

i'm scoring like over e28 ish rn

[hybrid tendon]

balatrodle in 1

||time to switch starter I guess||

[serene forge]

here win

[proper pollen]

aw man

[serene forge]

2/27/26 balatrodle in 4

[serene forge]

lmaooooo

[hybrid tendon]

🫂

[serene forge]

yippie <3

[dense pumice]

The dumbest build I’ve won with ever

[opal pebble]

Idk how but today i’ve gotten baron in 5 of my 7 runs

[harsh relic]

opposites attract

[neon mural]

My first run after naneinf and games already trying to entice me again

[safe hull]

what should I sell for baron

[neon mural]

flashcard prob how many kings do you have

[safe hull]

I got 31 kings and flashcard has +250

[neon mural]

red seal?

[safe hull]

ya

[frank notch]

put flash second to last for optimal scoring if you keep it

[proper pollen]

run just got good

[stone shell]

thank you cerulean bell for the faster lobotomy

[stone shell]

seems like the correct order to me

[fringe nebula]

troub gold sticker

nice

[stone shell]

okay i realized i miscounted sometime in the past so now my username is correctly updated

probably forgot to log the bean sticker

28 jokers remain

[proper pollen]

ante 1 wee gets really big

[fringe nebula]

double or nothing + matador = infinite money

[open lynx]

Hey gang! I figured out a new way of achieving nan-inf! With 15 maxed out vampires, you can get nan inf with a mere high card level of 3721259102032950860777259228607479884361855445335064164564989861471405489528771285209220665978022121909

[sage bough]

Photochad Round 1 and I'm playing on Abandoned Deck 💔

[knotty zodiac]

hm red steel vs starting the tarot engine. must be purple right?

[foggy sun]

People who fear commitment hate to see this

[proper pollen]

1st GS !!!

[stone shell]

abandoned deck is WORSE than BLACK DECK?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

[sage bough]

It's really not

[stone shell]

i thought the sarcasm was clear enough with the amount of question marks and exclams

[sage bough]

I thought you were a new player and you were genuinely asking

How would I know bro

[stone shell]

i have 82% until C++ 😭 im not THAT new

[foggy sun]

Bro sounds like the average backseat gamer in a streamers chat whenever they see photograph and chad in the same seed on abandoned

[sage bough]

I don't know what that all means

I can't stop playing Nubby's Number Factory

[frank notch]

abandoned deck on white stake with cheats on is worse than black deck on cryptid ascendant stake blindfolded

[foggy sun]

just play three of a kind.

[lyric karma]

there win

[foggy sun]

I find it very reliable with a 40 card deck.

seem to always draw it fr

[frank notch]

3.5 of a kind is better

[sage bough]

Photochad on the deck with no face cards

[stone shell]

to be fair

just pull a face from standard packs

[olive fiber]

I can't believe I'm gonna say this but I kinda wish I got violet vessel instead on cerulean bell 😭

[foggy sun]

What..?

[frank notch]

guys if you naneinf ALWAYS do it on white stake its easier

[foggy sun]

thats

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[terse vale]

I never actually noticed the background was pink

like really obviously pink

[serene forge]

that works????

[fringe nebula]

yes

[serene forge]

wowwww

[fringe nebula]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[olive fiber]

You saw that right. I wish I had violet vessel for my last run

[frank notch]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[wintry ice]

wow, 30k bot accounts

[loud oriole]

do yall have any techniques to using the campfire joker

i feel like it's not worth it for what it asks for but idk

[fringe nebula]

have alot of money

[light brook]

tarot/planet gen jokers

[wintry ice]

build up money and then spend it on the last antes

[quartz sail]

You know what, we should add a spectral card called hammer and it can remove one playing card from the pool for the rest of the run

[light brook]

riff raff is a goat for campfire too

[stone shell]

assuming no liquidation then youre only spending 2$ for .25x mult

[olive fiber]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[loud oriole]

i have it rn actually

[light brook]

holy <@&1133519078540185692>

[fringe nebula]

<@&1133519078540185692>

jeez

[loud oriole]

so ive been using that but i feel like its not enough

[light brook]

same thing within 3 minutes that’s crazy

[quartz sail]

I’d like to thank random bot for the idea

[sly osprey]

It’s been getting worse

[sterile zealot]

Got the 100m scoring hand using this silly Photochad setup!

[fringe nebula]

campfire midas and campfire rebate are one of my favorite combo

[stone shell]

yeah the strat with campfire is build up alot of money so for the end you can roll for stuff to sell

[loud oriole]

ill keep in mind... ty

[stone shell]

youre not meant to use campfire the whole way just when you need it

[loud oriole]

aaa i see

[fringe nebula]

campfire works really well if you have alot of gold cards or if you have an econ joker

[loud oriole]

yeah especially since this is a painted deck run i have even less to sell

[wintry ice]

run saved

[stone shell]

painted should be fine since since consumables

[fringe nebula]

blackboard on painted deck sounds like a nightmare

but whatever works works

[stone shell]

nah surely it ain't that bad

[wintry ice]

i'm never worried about not triggering it's effect

i don't care about what hand i have to play so

[stone shell]

right didnt see you have a lobotomy setup

[wintry ice]

ante 4 square going crazy

[loud oriole]

i see i see. ive got golden atm so ill try to save up a bunch for later n make a better joker spread

[wintry ice]

deck with unique playstyle

looks inside

pairs

[sterile zealot]

Is this the most lobotomy setup possible?

[ancient gyro]

could've asked for plasma

[lunar zealot]

no

you need blueprint

[wintry ice]

hi kami

[fringe nebula]

honestly, i think photochad requires more brainpower than pair spam

[wintry ice]

photochad atleast needs deckfixing

[loud oriole]

how do yall be doing this

genuinely

[wintry ice]

this was a possible gros sticker seed

[loud oriole]

ive gotten to ante 12 ONCE

[ancient gyro]

possibly

[fringe nebula]

by playing ortalab alot

[wintry ice]

oh wait

cheart is an actual nightmare with this setup

[ancient gyro]

teehee

[fringe nebula]

crimson heart on painted deck is alot more deadly

yeah

[wintry ice]

lvl 4 pair save me

[loud oriole]

what is that.

[fringe nebula]

balatro

[wintry ice]

it disabled burglar twice

perfect rng!!!

[sterile zealot]

Crimson heart is a joke

[loud oriole]

😭 my fault

[wintry ice]

looks inside
free win against any boss blind

painted win streak

[sterile zealot]

Plant

[proper pollen]

photochad is actually guaranteed if you play abandoned deck

[fringe nebula]

make glass card on numbered card

[wintry ice]

are you sure that a single justice wouldn't completely obliterate it with double chad

[spring granite]

hmmm

[ancient gyro]

ikr

[steady drift]

This game does count as gambling i assume

[fringe nebula]

even if plant kills photograph, chad is still usable if there's a glass on ace or 10 or something

[spring granite]

rare joker that scales by 0.5× for every card debuffed in hand

how terrible is that concept

[wintry ice]

the

[fringe nebula]

double or nothing challenge

[ancient gyro]

those aren't 4s

[spring granite]

DNA meta

[tropic mulch]

I must confess

[wintry ice]

yeah it's really weird

[tropic mulch]

Square joker is actually good

[spring granite]

square joker vs runner

[ancient gyro]

square on harder decks

[tropic mulch]

Runner

[spring granite]

makes sense

[wintry ice]

speaking of runner

or rather

sPEAKing of runner

[ancient gyro]

works with more flat mult scalers like nova for example

[tropic mulch]

E t e r n a l
B u s

[spring granite]

the ride never ends

[ancient gyro]

yeah that's what that is

[wintry ice]

the public transport shall last

[tropic mulch]

NY city bus

10% of run ending for no reason

10% get shot

80% wheels go round

[wintry ice]

i got a hologram

[tropic mulch]

Nice

[ancient gyro]

another slop run

🥀

[wintry ice]

now what if i get shortcut

oh look

a blue seal

[lament condor]

r*d card incoming

[ancient gyro]

will vic beat my 7 win streak on painted

[wintry ice]

no

i don't even have a 5 streak on yellow

[ancient gyro]

tune in next time on balatro ball b

[wintry ice]

and that's the deck i'm best at

[ancient gyro]

o

[wintry ice]

i consider bull harder to sticker than runner

do i commit to the lobotomy

[ancient gyro]

uhh

it'll make for a stupid run if you pull it off

sure

[wintry ice]

ragebait attempt

[shell dagger]

It’s not like you really need to reroll the shop anymore

So bull probably scales faster than runner does

[deft panther]

BALL x PIT

Shit wrong server

BALATRO

[wintry ice]

erm

i still want an econ other than parking

so

idk

[ancient gyro]

no

[manic talon]

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[wintry ice]

guess it won't be my last sticker this time

[ancient gyro]

yea

[fringe crest]

how dare you

[wintry ice]

guess we're not lobotomying

bruh

it's fucking trib

[ancient gyro]

pranked

[wintry ice]

well i can gamble dying to vessel for a hard sticker

do i do it

[ancient gyro]

no

well actually

[bold crystal]

immolate or trance hmm

[ancient gyro]

how stable is your 4oak run

immuh

[fringe nebula]

immolate

[ancient gyro]

trance if you're vayn

[stone shell]

immolate

[fringe nebula]

this challenge is really easy?

[wintry ice]

i have 6 aces i think

[ancient gyro]

k nvm

[last geyser]

Which one is it

[fringe nebula]

mad world

[quaint stag]

does anyone have any advice to beat purple stake plasma deck

im lowkey getting my ass beat by it

[proper pollen]

1st shop 💔

[last geyser]

Credit card

[proper pollen]

why couldnt the tag pull ts 💔

[last geyser]

In pack

[proper pollen]

trvth pack time

didnt get it but not that mad

[last geyser]

Credit card in trading card

[proper pollen]

the negative is better herer right?

[fringe nebula]

plasma deck on high stakes is one of the hardest

you want to have alot of money to pivot from +chips to xmult

[last geyser]

I think yeah

[ancient gyro]

or don't pivot at all and stick with 2 pair linear scaling

[last geyser]

Fr gold stake had me stuck for a while

[proper pollen]

now is it worth selling the poly license for the blueprint

[quaint stag]

my closest run died because ante 8 was violet vessel

[fringe nebula]

yep

[wintry ice]

honestly i'd take trading card here

[fringe nebula]

that's what a 2.4m violet vessel does to you

[proper pollen]

I had one of those earlier too you just gotta keep going that means youre close

[fringe nebula]

same

[quaint stag]

i was not scoring 2.4 million chips 😭

absolute ankle breaker

[proper pollen]

yeah its a close call I took the negative for the score

but polychrome arguably does enough already

[last geyser]

Idk

[ancient gyro]

are you streak brained or sticker brained

[quaint stag]

okay this new run i started has constellation + astronomer ante 2

could be a w

[marsh vortex]

hello fellow balatroers

[proper pollen]

castle is good, but is it worth picking up alongside a different chips joker?

[last geyser]

What does astronomer do again?

[proper pollen]

free planet packs

[last geyser]

Oh right

W

[quaint stag]

all planet cards are free

[manic talon]

checkered at home

yea its good

[quaint stag]

nvmd died to plant jarvis more alcohol

[wintry ice]

crafty isn't enough by itself

[quaint stag]

i either flunk out on scoring in early game or die to a boss that kills my scoring like flint/wall/water

[stone shell]

#worth it

[wintry ice]

yea those are the most common causes of death

[wintry ice]

average uncommon skip

[quaint stag]

high stakes plasma is a very fun and fair experience

i imagine this is what it's like to be hit by a bus

[wintry ice]

hit the road + bus synergy

[stone shell]

yeah my brain just isnt wired for balatro right now

[quaint stag]

okay this run has potential

judgement bankcard rerolled into negative eternal hologram

then i get vagabond and wheel of fortune hits abstract joker

[spring granite]

shoot the moon is a free win

100% of the time it works 50% of the time

[foggy sun]

shoot the moon and free win in the same sentence..? questionable. If u rely on it too early on, u will die from lack of reliability of getting queens unfortuenately

I cant spell either so thats chill ig

[spring granite]

have to gamble on drawing those queens

we stay winning

[drowsy wharf]

C++

[serene forge]

being punished for bad decision making

[turbid smelt]

I just hit e300

I’m fucking him

To whoever said baron was ass

That’s proof

It’s not

[serene forge]

skill issue

[proper pollen]

yeah Probably

I took DNA over smear since I thought I had gotten rid of enough clubs but I hadnt and I only had the two discards

so I couldnt flush every hand :(

[serene forge]

playing flush on abandoned deck is certainly the choice of all time

[turbid smelt]

Is it worth it to play erratic deck and new run until I have a crazy amount of kings

[serene forge]

yeah you can naneinf really easily on erratic if you start with like 10+ kings

[turbid smelt]

Naneinf and easy in the same sentance

[serene forge]

it should be easy for you with how much you ride baron

[turbid smelt]

I just got e300 with him

I was so close to naneinf

[serene forge]

skill issue

[proper pollen]

shit may be occuring

[serene forge]

dna sucks

[proper pollen]

I got like 6-7 jokers which score on flush

[serene forge]

NEGATIVE 19 DOLLAR

[drowsy rain]

I’m slowly realizing that Splash actually isn’t a bad joker

[proper pollen]

im going to get a spectral pack and then set it to zero and get a free rare joker

[serene forge]

supernova is not a flush joker

[main sentinel]

I REROLLED BOSS BLIND (FLUSHES SET MONEY TO 0) BECAUSE I HAD A FLUSH DECK BUT NOW ITS PLANT BUT MY DECK REVOLVES AROUND PHOTOCHAD

[turbid smelt]

Get out of debt dude

No Econ

[serene forge]

plant doesnt counter photochad

[turbid smelt]

What so ever

[serene forge]

get one (1) glass card

[drowsy rain]

If you’re running face cards never reroll unless it’s the plant or another insta death boss

[proper pollen]

not for you

[drowsy rain]

Especially photochad

[main sentinel]

Wait debuffs dont work against photochad? 😮

[serene forge]

clearly didnt work for you since you lost

[proper pollen]

my econ is rolling vagabond out of a specrtal pack and getting my money set to zero

[serene forge]

glass numbers wont get debuffed yea

[quaint stag]

how should i place my jokers? is it chad i should copy or photograph

[proper pollen]

shut up your just mad because Im good at the game

[serene forge]

*you're

[proper pollen]

your

[turbid smelt]

Doesn’t even matter

Photo Chad is triggered during the first face card scored

[drowsy rain]

Copy photo for scoring or chad for lucky cards glass cards and gold seals

[proper pollen]

where is the one that gives me a joker 🥲

[quaint stag]

ah i see ty

[proper pollen]

and erases my debts 🥲

[serene forge]

you should learn to play if you want to win more often

medium is great btw

[drowsy rain]

What are you DNA’ing

probably the purple seal right

[woven spire]

useless vessel

[serene forge]

dna is maybe the most overrated load of crap in this game

[proper pollen]

any enhancement to scale the vampire as well as the seal yeah
