cloud sinew

frank grove
willow frost
#

frank grove
#

because its more money?

cloud sinew
willow frost
#

you have rebate

frank grove
#

its useless to me now?

willow frost
#

why do you need money from sold jokers

frank grove
#

because i needed an open slot for stuff

compact gazelle
willow frost
#

until theres no kings in your deck its not useless

marsh vortex
#

photo over smiley right

willow frost
#

anyone got jokerless challenge tips

marsh vortex
#

yay i got a new deck but idk what it was

rancid gull
#

Blue seals

#

Glass

willow frost
#

just glass

compact gazelle
#

telescope is actually decent on jokerless

ancient gyro
#

consumable blocking

rancid gull
#

Glass is especially important if you come across the wall or violet vessel

crisp stag
#

i beat it for the first time and it was extremely close, played 5 of a kind jacks which was probably not optimal

rancid gull
#

Jokerless actually gives you an advantage since you can consumable block act

#

Cause jokers won’t take up any slots in the shop

#

Obv

oh its endless

jesus fucking christ this seed is insane

i wanted to sit down for a casual game bro

rancid gull
#

Just keep glass in case of violet vessel

compact gazelle
#

also don’t die

rancid gull
#

True

#

So true

#

Crystal ball is a tier

#

More consumable blocking

#

If it won’t tank your economy ofc

compact gazelle
#

crystal ball is always good
even better here

crisp stag
#

yeh i did use consumable blocking

#

i did also find observatory but never managed to get a planet x up top

Ofc I get the perfect build going to finally win with the last stupid joker to get C++ and then I get Balatro'd and lose to RNG...

I can't anymore... 300 hours... getting C++ has been the most painful, frustrating and unfun experience in gaming for me so far. I'd rather grind out all those covenant achievemnts in Souls thrice again than do this.. It's so bad that after I get all the achievements, I'm done with this game since whenever I see Balatro at this point, all I think of is the RNG BS I had to endure throughout it all. Such a shame, since outside of Gold stake and C++, it's been in my top games. It's just sad that this experience made me lowkey hate it and just not have fun anymore...

rancid gull
#

Fuhhhhh

rancid gull
#

I completely forgot about flint

#

lmao

compact gazelle

hopefully you got flint like ante 2

passive effects don't require an action, therefore overruled by boss blinds and copy compatible jokers.

active effects that require you to do something are unaffected by a boss blinds inmate effects when entering the round.

Hey everyone, quick question about unlocking the "Palette" voucher. I've successfully reduced my hand size to 5 (tried it with Stuntman + Merry Andy or Stuntman + Ectoplasm), but it still won't unlock for me. I have completely disabled all mods and I'm not playing on a seeded run. Am I missing something, or is this a known bug? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That was just I put together temporarily for testing 😂 . But on the other hand, as long as it's Hearts or Spades, playing the corresponding flush and stacking that 1.5^5 Mult is actually pretty huge.

but stuff like gold or blue seal can make it worth to copy mime and I think you want one more mime than baron if you have steel/red seal

frank grove
#

you can win most runs without 5 jokers let alone 6

dark cairn
#

it doesn't offset the -1 hand per round but thats the point

marsh vortex
dark cairn
#

i wonder why?

true cliff
#

I'm going to make a list of construction jonklers

slow iris

#

+1 joker slot means
Better abstract joker/baseball card
More room for eternals
More room for joker synergy
More power you can get from your jokers in general

frank grove
#

and -1 hand is less money and a harder early game which is fun and challenging but the extra joker slot doesnt really matter

dark cairn
#

But you still have to think very carefully about what you're taking because -1 hand per round is still crippling

fringe nebula
rancid gull
fringe nebula
frank grove
#

i can bet most people forget its even there and still win

dark cairn
#

unless you're playing a seeded run and/or are drspectred its going to be helpful at least somewhat

marsh vortex
dark cairn
#

youre not going to win every gold stake run with just 3 jokers

#

💀

frank grove
#

of course not im not saying just 3

#

but 6 is a little overkill for most runs

dark cairn
#

hell you cant even win 100% of gold stake runs with 5

#

there's always a risk of loss if you don't already know what the seed contains

fringe nebula
# fringe nebula

why the fuck are ankh, wheel, temperance, and hex not banned on this stupid challenge

dark cairn
#

again like

#

im not trying to say its a good deck

#

of course not 💀

#

but im saying that its a hardmode deck done right

#

because more joker slots is fun if you know how to use them

frank grove
#

Yeah, i would rather any other upside but thats just me

dark cairn
#

if all else fails, if you find a burglar, just take it and suddenly you have 6 hands per round

true cliff
dark cairn
ancient gyro
#

I still don't understand the nebula explanation, you're forced to lock into one hand type harder, making pivots less common

frank grove
#

i like decks that allow me to do more fun stuff like zodiac or abandoned which allow me to play 3/4oak and straights and stuff rather than oh my abstract has 3 more mult wow

ancient gyro
#

not very roguelike

dark cairn
#

it matches my playstyle

ancient gyro
#

and what if I want to change

dark cairn
#

having telescope from the very beginning means you can plan around making full effectiveness of it

dark cairn
ancient gyro
#

i

#

😐

dark cairn
#

not every deck has to be catered specifically toward you

true cliff
dark cairn
#

if i want to build around planet cards why would i not play the planet card deck

ancient gyro
#

not for me but for the concept of a roguelike

manic talon
#

thank you vagabond, good judgement

dark cairn
#

get this

#

so

#

sometimes

#

people like to make their gameplay more consistent

ancient gyro
#

on average

dark cairn
frank grove
#

until its not

dark cairn
#

by any means necessary

#

unless you find a ton of xmult

ancient gyro
wintry ice
#

hear me out

#

i have enough glass cards to replace green joker

#

so i'm gonna just skip to the boss to not lose them

cyan sparrow
#

hay doodz i beat black stakes with checkered deck

ancient gyro
cyan sparrow
#

I unlocked the anaglyph deck

dark cairn
frank grove
#

nebula is just kinda less fun than other decks imo

dark cairn
#

sorry im kinda tired today so im not getting hte point

rapid sedge
#

what should i take here (abandoned deck)

cyan sparrow
#

planets are cool 🪐 here is a planet

wintry ice
#

i think i might take this over duo for the sticker too

dark cairn
ancient gyro
frank grove
#

doesnt allow you to planet or tarot block as well and just generally puts a constraint on a core gameplay system

ancient gyro
#

entertainment wise

wintry ice
#

oh wait crimson heart

ancient gyro
#

and gets fucked by more boss blinds indirectly

wintry ice
#

uhm

#

it hit my worst joker

ancient gyro
#

hi

dark cairn
#

i want to have it more

#

:/

cyan sparrow
#

i wish i could skip boss blinds that are gnarly

marsh vortex
#

got a ouija that made only kings 🙏

fringe nebula
ancient gyro
#

here's a cassette tape

cyan sparrow
#

lol 😄

wintry ice
#

finally

cyan sparrow
#

that is a good voucher

#

whoa, triple uranus

wintry ice
#

a second run where i use the hand size boost to my advantage

ancient gyro
wintry ice
#

and i got a hard sticker

dark cairn
#

like of all things to pick at about which decks i like and dislike im surprised yall aren't more concerned about me thinking zodiac deck is the 2nd most boring deck in the game

ancient gyro
#

lobotomous build is this

wintry ice
#

and then skipped to the boss

dark cairn
#

cause most people i talk to at least like zodiac deck

#

but i very much dont

frank grove
#

yeah if you already dont like tarots it makes sense why you dont like zodiac

wintry ice
#

oh this sounds nice in this deck

dark cairn
wintry ice
#

it's also somewhat annoying to sticker

dark cairn
#

i had a worse time with anaglyph deck and zodiac deck than black deck

ancient gyro
#

o

true cliff
dark cairn
#

i dont know how

frank grove
#

i lovee zodiac its probably my most played deck honestly

dark cairn
#

i shouldnt have to wonder how

#

but i did

rancid gull
#

zodiac is awesome

ancient gyro
#

I mean at least you're not doing gsg or black++

frank grove
#

it doesnt work on some boss blinds

dark cairn
#

he only works on certain bosses

#

its very unclear

ancient gyro
#

only works on specific hand score disabling boss blinds

dark cairn
#

he's gonna get reworked in the future

wintry ice
#

because the joker's effect is poorly stated

frank grove
#

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Matador check the wiki to see what works

Balatro Wiki

Matador is an Uncommon Economy Joker that provides a cash boost whenever you play a hand that triggers a Boss Blind's ability (such as attempting to score debuffed cards). This effect doesn't work with all Boss Blinds due to an oversight, though, and can occasionally give results inconsistent with what one might expect. As a general rule, any ha...

wintry ice
ancient gyro
rancid gull
#

Thunk has addressed it

#

it's getting reworked

dark cairn
#

in general things that trigger matador are
playing a debuffed card as part of a hand
playing a hand that isn't allowed by the boss

wintry ice
#

yeah it's

#

kinda stupid

frank grove
#

and the flint

#

which is kinda cool

stone shell
#

wanna gold sticker scary face if i can and im sure i can get drivers online, do i replace chad

dark cairn
#

nope green joker getting countered by The Hook is intentional

ancient gyro
unreal topaz
#

that score was with hologram disabled lol, i was hoping i could maybe activate card sharp

frank grove
#

i still love matador even with its quirks

dark cairn
#

The Hook can also give you tarot cards if it discards a purple seal, or give you money if it triggers Mail-In Rebate

wintry ice
#

i like him for the early econ boost

dark cairn
#

What

wintry ice
#

but his design is a bit iffy

lyric karma
ancient gyro
#

take it to thunkard, this has been known for two years

pale wolf
#

non sequitur imo they arent related, but matador should activate on hook imo yea

frank grove
#

yeah

lyric karma
#

You have a good econ

stone shell
wintry ice
#

is this a flash card angle

frank grove
#

matador should just be like 4 dollars per played hand in a boss, but i think that would be boring

stone shell
ancient gyro
wintry ice
#

with 5 dollars

stone shell
#

and gold cards

wintry ice
#

what am i saying

pale wolf
dark cairn
ancient gyro
#

well that's not

unreal topaz
stone shell
wintry ice
#

you took an uncommon skip?

rancid gull
#

don't underestimate it though

#

because it can actually have insane value

dark cairn
#

oh wait

wintry ice
#

so

dark cairn
#

its amphy

#

amphy is a troll

frank grove
#

yeah, matador can be like a 1/2 for like 20 bucks an ante its fairly fine at its job

dark cairn
#

they were talking yesterday about how they wanted to know eveyrthing a seed does but didnt want to play seeded runs

ancient gyro
#

passionate one might say

frank grove
#

its not rebate but nothing is

stone shell
#

i think amphy is angry that its trigger requirements feel inconsistent

unreal topaz
stone shell
#

which is a valid crashout

dark cairn
#

they're a troll/baiter

pale wolf
#

it doesn't count as a discard though

#

it counts as discarded cards

dark cairn
pale wolf
#

slightly different

dark cairn
#

and purple seals

frank grove
#

yeah it doesnt take a discard from you it just is a net 0 on green joker

ancient gyro
#

i wanna ping lilo so bad

rancid gull
#

green joker is a net 0 tho with the hook

pale wolf
#

and it doesn't stop trading card from triggering

dark cairn
#

oh thats what you mean

#

ok

rancid gull
#

so at least you don't lose anything

frank grove
#

I think most people here agree with you btw

pale wolf
#

matador's description is what

frank grove
#

that matador should count for more bosses

ancient gyro
#

well it's getting tweaked anyways

#

who cares

dark cairn
#

stop falling for the bait guys

frank grove
#

this is insane bait

pale wolf
#

yea matador is the wack one here

stone shell
lyric karma
#

but the hooks ability affects ramen ?

ancient gyro
#

huh

rancid gull
#

green joker is not bad

pale wolf
#

ok this is a skill issue take though

frank grove
#

does anyone have a bait emoji to react with?

pale wolf
#

green joker is very good

ancient gyro
lyric karma
#

How the hell then it doesnt affect grimbo

rancid gull
#

get yourself a green joker and delayed gratification

ancient gyro
#

that went with my wiped acc

rancid gull
#

goated early game combo

pale wolf
#

it does affect grimbo

dark cairn
#

🪤 also works

frank grove
#

😭

pale wolf
#

you're connecting 2 unrelated things

dark cairn
#

zebra

#

its

#

a

#

troll

pale wolf
#

grimbo decrementing on hook is 1000% how it should be and has nothing to do with matador's inconsistency

ancient gyro
#

your grimbo take is what we are all referring to

dark cairn
#

yesterday they were bitching because they "cant play the game without restarting over and over for yorick"

rancid gull
#

no one said you were wrong dude

dark cairn
#

its a known troll

stone shell
#

we agree with matador just not the groker hate

frank grove
#

you're not crazy but like it doesnt really matter you took an uncommon skip for him and he doesnt pay out immediately and you're just saying the same stuff over and over again lmao

ancient gyro
#

well we already know what boss blinds matador works and doesn't work on for the past 2 years

dark cairn
#

.

frank grove
#

oh okay

pale wolf
#

if you press play hand and the boss blind effect causes (or could've caused) your score to do something different than it normally would've, then matador should trigger imo

ancient gyro
#

so it wasn't free, it was 3 bucks

frank grove
#

but you also took no other joker and grimbo on plasma lmao

dark cairn
#

can we get a mod to mute this known troll

pale wolf
#

but it isnt like that and people dont like matador already

frank grove
#

and you have like 40 dollars anyway

ancient gyro
#

yes we can read

stone shell
wintry ice
#

what's the explanation for this

rancid gull
#

matador when it hits

#

is actually amazing

#

No one is calling you wrong

wintry ice
#

he's an easy route for winning runs consistently

#

idk where the complaint is

frank grove
#

matador is very nice

ancient gyro
#

ad hominem

pale wolf
#

the complaint is that his effect has tenuous correlation with his description

#

lol

stone shell
frank grove
#

you're complaining that you lost because you didnt make 16 bucks of matador when you have 25 in the bank and interest and payout money in the ss you sent?

ancient gyro
#

pt 4

fringe nebula
#

are we having another amphy moment

dark cairn
wintry ice
#

oh it's this guy

ancient gyro
#

among other questionable choices

frank grove
digital pewter
#

i love when all my runs brick my draws

pale wolf
#

you called green joker bad and i called it a skill issue lmfao but keep blabbing about the same thing for 10 more minutes without actually saying anything of substance, really fun complaining instead of actually saying anything

ancient gyro
#

it's fun when I ping mods for no reason 😀

ancient gyro
stone shell
#

not the 4x blind requirement wall

#

deck is a bit down below

wintry ice
#

erm it's 1.5x over the normal boss blind multiplier

pale wolf
#

yea matador should trigger on hook, stop whining, NEXT ISSUE

wintry ice
#

i think

#

i already have this joker stickered but it's very good here so

ancient gyro
#

matador variance shouldn't be a 15 minute nothing burger argument

wintry ice
#

should i take this

fringe nebula
#

oh great, the arm on jokerless challenge

how fun, very entertaining

wintry ice
#

it's painted deck so

#

nvm

ancient gyro
stone shell
wintry ice
ancient gyro

it's not mid btw

ok fully revealed as bait

#

I LOVE BLOODSTONE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH Back to back bloodstone runs lol, and both came from judgements

stone shell
#

oh hi vayn can you help me make a decision people arent replying

wintry ice
#

"useful in specific circumstances" uh playing 4 pairs a round is not specific

pale wolf
#

explains that you are blabbing about the same thing for ages
repeats yourself
absolute troll behavior

ancient gyro
#

a @pale wolf copy spaghetti

fringe nebula
#

matador works ONLY when your played hand is affected by the boss blind

pale wolf
#

omg i should write something like that

#

for like, hologram

stone shell
# manic talon where

im not bothered enough to reply again but basically, want to take drivers and gold sticker scary face, do i sell chad

#

vagabond is also an option but i really love the deck fixing

ancient gyro
wintry ice
#

can you affoard to sell vagabond

ancient gyro
#

in case of side effects

pale wolf
#

never sell out a vagabond
