[fringe nebula]

very good

[heady minnow]

I'm so confused wth are those than?

[patent sail]

What are you talking about, stickers on them?

[fringe nebula]

there are 3 effects : eternal, rental, perishable

[heady minnow]

I guess?

[patent sail]

Explanation up here

Bad stickers appear on higher stakes

[fringe nebula]

taking an eternal means it will stay for the rest of the run because you can't sell the joker

[tawdry burrow]

stake chips just says that you won x stake with that card

[drowsy rain]

Rental means your life will be 10x more annoying for the next 30 minutes

[fringe nebula]

rental : for each rental joker you have, you'll have to pay $3 each round (your money can go below 0)

[tawdry burrow]

things like the knife or even Ankh can't destroy it either

[royal bobcat]

me when a gold sticker on a joker gives it 2x values

[patent sail]

Hex 🔥🔥🔥

[fringe nebula]

and perishable : perishable jokers will no longer work after 5 rounds

[tawdry burrow]

selling still counts (I think?)

[patent sail]

They should make gold sticker give jokers ^1 stats

[drowsy rain]

Road work ahead

[royal bobcat]

so true

[heady minnow]

uh, yeah, I sure hope it does

[ebon maple]

If i destroy a debuffed face card does it boost canio?

[tawdry burrow]

idt

[patent sail]

But yeah youll see bad stickers on higher stakes if you ever reach them

[tawdry burrow]

debuffed disables EVERYTHING

[ebon maple]

Prolly

[tawdry burrow]

playing a debuffed face card doesn't reset bus last I checked

[knotty zodiac]

except the rental fee

[heady minnow]

Idk if I ever will really

[patent sail]

Black - eternal, orange - perishable, golden - rental

[ebon maple]

But maybe legendario

[tawdry burrow]

bro

[fringe nebula]

ok zodiac might be a good deck?

[drowsy rain]

That would be kinda rude if that was the case

[ebon maple]

No it doesnt, but it doesnt score, they dl get duped by dna

[ebon maple]

So they dont rigjt?

Sad

[vague elbow]

eternal can be good in the following circumstances: madness, ankh, hex
rental can be good in the following circumstances: basically just campfire
perishable can be good in like. basically no circumstances. you'd basically always prefer a card to not be perishable

[patent sail]

I thought i wont get past purple either but its not as hard actually

[drowsy rain]

Riff Raff stop being a goated joker!!!

[heady minnow]

I'm on white stake I feel like I'll never even beat that

[vague elbow]

im struggling to think of a reason i'd want a card to be perishable

[patent sail]

Very niche scenario - perishable banana/seltzer to secure gold sticker 🔥🔥🔥

[jagged cliff]

me when riff raff first shop

[ebon maple]

Also rental is good for a lot of utility jokers

[royal bobcat]

there's more than campfire: jokers like cartomancer, illusion, soda, etc work really well because they're essentially free but temporary

[patent sail]

If you started very recently its okay, youll learn eventually

[ebon maple]

Exactly, even some econ and turtle ie

[vague elbow]

that doesn't help you win runs, sorry - yeah, for c++ it can be good for food jokers

[vague elbow]

yeah, i definitely sold rental short

[heady minnow]

it feels so impossible though when will I?

[knotty zodiac]

also sometimes you wouldnt be able to afford the full price joker, but you can use a rental for part of a round for free

[vague elbow]

it's good for a lot of things that you can just sell instantly after using, or before winning a round

ive definitely used rental econs before

[royal bobcat]

i mean both rental and eternal can be DEVASTATING on some jokers, but they have upsides that make them nuanced and interesting

then theres perishable

[jagged cliff]

as long as you make more than you lose its fine right

[patent sail]

You can probably watch Balatro 101 series by Balatro University, this guy helped me out A LOT when i started

[ebon maple]

FINALLY

BYE BYE ANAGLYPH

[vague elbow]

yeah? i guess? it depends how good the econ joker is

[drowsy rain]

Yeah but rental is annoying and hates everyone

[vague elbow]

something like golden joker, there's very few reasons not to take a rental one

[drowsy rain]

Perishable lets you enjoy the game for like five rounds

[jagged cliff]

bro boutta get the WORST negative jokers possible 🗣️

• perishable

[vague elbow]

i mean. you can always get a non-rental one instead, and the rental one blocks it...

[patent sail]

Oops, all food!

[royal bobcat]

no it doesnt let me enjoy the game the jokers I want are GONNA DIE

[vague elbow]

this is why i hate perishable. why would i take a perishable when i could take the same joker but regular, if the perishable is blocking it? the truth is that you take perishables of jokers you wont need for long anyway haha

[patent sail]

Actually no here it will be
Good

Bros about to win

Wait no popcorn wont live

[vestal copper]

all perish rental showmen

[patent sail]

Eternal

[royal bobcat]

i wouldn't mind so many men

[vague elbow]

negative skip on its way to give the worst cards imaginable:

[drowsy rain]

Eternal Rental Bootstraps run

who has the balls

[patent sail]

I will still gamble em anyday 🔥🔥🔥

[royal bobcat]

react all you want but showman is the most eligible bachelor in the entirety of the balatro cast

[heady minnow]

thanks!

[vague elbow]

bootstraps my beloathed

i think bull is genuinely ok tbh

[royal bobcat]

bull is good cuz chips r rare and

[patent sail]

Bull isnt bad

[royal bobcat]

the conversion rate is good

[drowsy rain]

Chips jokers will always have value to a degree just cus there’s so little

[patent sail]

It does a lot sometimes

[royal bobcat]

bootstraptssucks bc mult is plentiful and the conversion rate sucks

[knotty zodiac]

rekt by ante 7 ox

[patent sail]

Ox appears once in a lifetime istg

[royal bobcat]

ox isn't real

[patent sail]

He was my last blind to be discovered

[knotty zodiac]

i have a personal vendetta against ox

[royal bobcat]

i never see the ox

[vague elbow]

ox only appears at 3 am when youre delirious tbh

[royal bobcat]

i never see many bosses actually

[patent sail]

Ikr

[royal bobcat]

WHERE IS THE PSYCHIC

[patent sail]

You can have mine thanks i get him way too much

Also ante 3-4 tooth HURTS

[tidal echo]

can someone help me find a strategy to use

[drowsy rain]

You unlock the Ox after doing the runerigus evolution

[patent sail]

Pairs

[tidal echo]

i jsut started playing today and ive never won a game

[jagged cliff]

the worst boss imo is the one that apparently was standing behind you while you were playing balatro when you were supposed to be working, hate that one

[patent sail]

Pairs or flushes

[royal bobcat]

it might take a while before you get your first win

[tidal echo]

but like do i aim for certain jokers to get and do i need to curate my deck a certain way and all that

[drowsy rain]

Boss hog

[tidal echo]

i know i haev to i jsut dont know where to start adn what i am aiming for

[vestal copper]

ox never ever appears ever

[royal bobcat]

you can't aim for specific jokers, you need to take what the game gives you and make the best of them

[vestal copper]

rigged to not spawn

[royal bobcat]

usually newer players like using flushes because many jokers work with flushes

[patent sail]

You work with what you get

You generally wanna have a +chips, +mult and xmult joker for score and likely econ

[tidal echo]

so what hand upgrades do i invest in and all that

[royal bobcat]

so i would recommend playing around with flushes to see how joker synergies

[ebon maple]

Almost all of tje unstickered

Good enough

[tidal echo]

whats econ?

[patent sail]

Money generators

[royal bobcat]

depends on what jokers you find, but just start with flushes to understand how the game works

[tidal echo]

k

[ebon maple]

Is summit hard to sticker?

[tidal echo]

yeah i get how it all works i jsut get stuck on likle the 4-6th ante

[jagged cliff]

not really, it shows up a lot

[patent sail]

One good pretty much universal tip is

Keep that interest going

[jagged cliff]

you should look for the ones that are the most uncommon to appear

[tidal echo]

i cant find combos that generate large amounts of score to get me past that point

[patent sail]

Stay above 25 bucks if possible

[royal bobcat]

nah its a common, also it's hand agnostic mult so it's often useful if only underwhelming

[ebon maple]

Will take it but prolly change it in next reloads, sad to ditch a +33 abstract thogh

[patent sail]

What do you pickup usually?

[ebon maple]

Please popcorn

[drowsy rain]

Popcorn and Bean

[jagged cliff]

if you know you can win the run with 4/5 jokers, just try and get the 5th joker to be one that just doesnt show up or dissapears after a few rounds, like the food jokers or things like rare/legendarys

even some uncommons can take a while to finally show up in a run

[patent sail]

Stone joker

[jagged cliff]

took me forever to get a few of them stickered

[ebon maple]

thats what i have been doing, is cola hard?

[drowsy rain]

cough cough turtle bean

[ebon maple]

I already have most of them

Only popcorn is left happily

[jagged cliff]

nah, it doesnt dissapear so you can keep it around

[vague elbow]

5 polychrome mystic summits is +296 mult btw

[lost cradle]

guys my friend won't stop saying that mr bones is the best joker... what should I do!!???

[jagged cliff]

dont remind me of that painful joker to sticker

[drowsy rain]

Thank you for this information!

[patent sail]

Get him out of the way asap, he WILL haunt you

[ebon maple]

So do i take it?

[vague elbow]

well its actually more than that because it also multiplies it from your base mult

[jagged cliff]

i mean, id take cole here instead of mystic

mystic is still common

[ebon maple]

Oki, tysm

[jagged cliff]

np

[drowsy rain]

I’ll be sure to reference you when I get five polychrome mystic summits

[vague elbow]

anyway load up ghost deck and reset till you get mystic summit 😴 then just get 4 ankhs

[jagged cliff]

just make sure you have enough score

otherwise youre back at square one

[vague elbow]

will it win? no

[knotty zodiac]

i started making a useless stone card in my deck every game...

[patent sail]

Stone joker is so annoying uhhhh

[vague elbow]

i cant imagine getting a gold sticker on invis organically

[drowsy rain]

Stone Joker and Stone cards are seperate

Stone cards are actually useful

[patent sail]

The hardest part is resisting selling him

[vague elbow]

stone joker doesnt add stone cards to your deck, thats marble joker

stone joker gives you chips per stone card in your deck

[ebon maple]

YIPE

9 golden sticker

[patent sail]

Stone joker is mid as hell, marble sometimes good

[fringe nebula]

it's literally the same as holding luchador/bones

[ebon maple]

Canio was so stronh

[drowsy rain]

I don’t understand why I would want more chips on top of my chips

[patent sail]

Harder to resist

[ebon maple]

Almost got it yesterday, fuck the eyr

[vague elbow]

i cant imagine getting those organically either!

[stark charm]

marble is good on like... most mod

[vague elbow]

i play for ante 8 lol

[drowsy rain]

you’re rewarding my chips build with more chips

[stark charm]

idk why but mod are making stone card overpowered

[fringe nebula]

you can win a gold stake run with 3 jokers so

eh

[vague elbow]

i mean i agree

[knotty zodiac]

a7 eye is often terrifying

[vague elbow]

but i wouldnt take an invis then lol

[drowsy rain]

You can win a gold stake run with 0 jokers

[vague elbow]

again, organically

[ebon maple]

Not drawing the 3oak killed me inside

[vague elbow]

if i was trying to get gold sticker on invis id do that

[fringe nebula]

oh lol

[knotty zodiac]

to the point where i usually just ask "what if a7 eye"

[fringe nebula]

c++ is not about playing optimally tho

[vague elbow]

just rerolled a satellite into another satellite

[royal bobcat]

nah thats streaking

[vague elbow]

😔

[royal bobcat]

streaking is where u need to play well

[vague elbow]

i dont really care about playing optimally

[royal bobcat]

u cant bruteforce streaks unless ure really lucky

[vague elbow]

im not going for win streaks i just want to win and have fun

so i sometimes play suboptimally because its more enjoyable that way

[drowsy rain]

I only play balatro to have fun

that is the only way

[knotty zodiac]

or good

[royal bobcat]

then thats not bruteforcing

thats playing well

lol

[drowsy rain]

The only game I play with no enjoyment is overwatch and that is a completely different realm of gaming

[jagged cliff]

then.. dont play it?

[drowsy rain]

You wouldn’t understand

[knotty zodiac]

quitting pvp games dramatically improved my life

[jagged cliff]

did you perhaps put too much money into the game to quit

[ebon maple]

Is there any way to see golden stickers apart from joker pages? I mean the raw number, lime 67 golden stickwrs

[vague elbow]

yeah its in settings

[drowsy rain]

If that was the case I would still be playing fortnite

[vague elbow]

"Display Stake Stickers during Run"

[ebon maple]

I mean the numbers

Mb

[jagged cliff]

i gave up on that boat, just accepted that theres too much money put into it, but i just dont wanna play it no more 😭

[vague elbow]

ohhh i think its in your stats?

[drowsy rain]

Not a single soul was left unreaped from 2018 fortnite

[jagged cliff]

so true

[fringe nebula]

none, 1 golden sticker counts as 8/1200

so

[ebon maple]

Sad

[fringe nebula]

it's fine

[ebon maple]

I will go count them manually then

[fringe nebula]

just keep playing until you have 6 remaining

[drowsy rain]

tbf that was the funnest times I had playing games with my friends

[fringe nebula]

and then you can count

[knotty zodiac]

if you play pc i think https://www.balatrostats.com shows it

[jagged cliff]

there was nothing more fun for me than prime lethal company with my 3 main bros

[ebon maple]

Mobile>>>

[knotty zodiac]

ya me too

[drowsy rain]

Game died too quick

[knotty zodiac]

i think you can backup the savefile to pc. i cant be bothered lol

[ebon maple]

81

Not bad

[fringe nebula]

81/150 or 81 jokers left

[ebon maple]

Mainly cause most of the commons are lacking

So good

[ebon maple]

81/150

[jagged cliff]

developer had to put more in the game in a shorter time, we've played it for a LONG time, mods kept it alive for us

but the developer just didnt add much for a long time

💔

[drowsy rain]

Friday Night Funkin levels of greed

[woven spire]

i need planets.

[jagged cliff]

whys your game so, different

[vague elbow]

huh. in my entire balatro career ive played flush house 17 times. contrast that to flushes, which i've played... 10030 times.

[woven spire]

a lil mod

[jagged cliff]

eris and planet x look so nice what

[drowsy rain]

Need more saturns please

Saturn is a goated planet

[woven spire]

not a straight guy

wait

[vague elbow]

ill get an unseeded naneinf someday. it has to be before the update because thats gonna kill unseeded naneinf

[jagged cliff]

almost the same

[vague elbow]

me neither

[woven spire]

do u want the mod?

[vestal copper]

lmfao

[jagged cliff]

[jagged cliff]

Sure

[woven spire]

jokers look great imo

[drowsy rain]

“No!! Jupiter scales unoptimally!” The nerd says as I use my 16th jupiter

[woven spire]

daaaaaamn

[vague elbow]

ive used 1231 jupiters LOL

[jagged cliff]

They look so beautiful

[vague elbow]

sometimes you just gotta do what u gotta do

[drowsy rain]

No sticker on satellite fairs

[vague elbow]

lmao ive used more souls than ankhs

[woven spire]

WHO uses it

[jagged cliff]

what about jokers tho 🗣️

[drowsy rain]

It’s always chad, photo

[woven spire]

naneinf runs destroyed my stats

[ebon maple]

C++ that doesnt pairslop

[vague elbow]

i also have chad really high

[ebon maple]

Love It

[jagged cliff]

chads just really nice

[jagged cliff]

Scary face??? 😭

[drowsy rain]

Chad is amazing

[vague elbow]

even when you spam pairs flushes are integral for the early game and are probably the most consistent 5 card hand

[drowsy rain]

Photo is a crutch

[woven spire]

did it on plasma lol

[ebon maple]

Love him

[jagged cliff]

dang

[woven spire]

what 4 days of naneinf does to ur stats

[ebon maple]

Will do it on another profile

[vestal copper]

yall are insane

[drowsy rain]

I mean who doesn’t take chad

[karmic tulip]

me

[echo sphinx]

i love retriggers

[drowsy rain]

oh ok word

[jagged cliff]

not even a blueprint?!

[karmic tulip]

jk

[woven spire]

yh for the best

[ebon maple]

Me2

[knotty zodiac]

idk why bs is higher than bp

[jagged cliff]

Still need to naneinf on my pc account, already did it on phone

[ebon maple]

NO CHAD?

[karmic tulip]

im in a naneinf run rn

hopefully

[drowsy rain]

eggswash enjoyer fairs

[karmic tulip]

what do I need for naneinf?

[jagged cliff]

another bp

[knotty zodiac]

im slowly recovering from the "only cards worth taking have blue seals" mentality

[karmic tulip]

yea finding cola and voucher tag for that.

maximising money for now, deck is fixed with gold red seal kings

[drowsy rain]

Me when that splash chad with the gold seal hits

[woven spire]

286 is huge tho

i hate you.

[jagged cliff]

heyy PBP

[jagged cliff]

it is, but ive reached way way higher on phone many times
i couldve had an naneinf way sooner on pc, but i screwed up a run where i got a nat neg mime

[woven spire]

ooff

[vestal copper]

me

[woven spire]

i remember screwing up a run just beacuse burglar didnt show up in ante 25 v

[drowsy rain]

word

[jagged cliff]

Only unfortunate thing is that I got naneinf on phone, then after that it crashed everytime I played a hand, then highscore got reset and now it doesn't say naneinf

[jagged cliff]

Happens to the best

Used phone mostly just to get a naneinf, it shows

[woven spire]

stencil and spectral pack...

do i gamble?

[jagged cliff]

hell yeah

thats what its all about

[woven spire]

oh right i have no money

[jagged cliff]

https://klipy.com/gifs/cat-gambling

[patent sail]

Why would you even ask that

[jagged cliff]

immolate in the spectral

[patent sail]

ALWAYS gamble

[woven spire]

true true

[patent sail]

Ouija and hex

[jagged cliff]

💔

thats probs whats gonna happen

cause that always happens

[woven spire]

i fucking died

[jagged cliff]

broo

[knotty zodiac]

"very large blind"
mult: "hold my beer"

[jagged cliff]

what did you do wrong

[patent sail]

Close one

[echo sphinx]

oh my mult

[patent sail]

I wonder whats the most chips ever scored

Like the chips side

Non plasma

[jagged cliff]

Good question

It's probably above 100

Must be

[patent sail]

I would imagine its hiker + retriggers

I once had a run where i copied up a +250 king

[knotty zodiac]

surely its hack wee and a bunch of bp bs?

[patent sail]

What if both

🎉🎉🎊

[plain briar]

which do i take

[woven spire]

u funny

the 1$ joker slot joker

[novel zephyr]

Ik i'm bad at the game but what y'all think?

[vague elbow]

stupidest win ever

[vague elbow]

whats the throwback at

[patent sail]

Throwback 🥀

[jagged cliff]

Look at that guy, how can you say no

[patent sail]

Piss joker

[jagged cliff]

Throwback

[woven spire]

i did take it lol

[jagged cliff]

good

[late kite]

hi im new here, can i ask a modded balatro question here?

[vague elbow]

i had a groker and a square for a while but they genuinely were not contributing to my score

[late kite]

or is there a different chat for that

[vague elbow]

nope, theres designated modded channels tho

[patent sail]

#⚙・modding-general

[late kite]

thanks

[novel zephyr]

7.3

[vague elbow]

how is it at 7.3 what

the math aint mathing

[patent sail]

Rounds up

[vestal copper]

holy fucking throwback

[woven spire]

here he is, does nothing and fucking dies: the joker

[vestal copper]

24 blinds skipper

[novel zephyr]

well it was around that

[patent sail]

Its 7.25 rounded up

[vague elbow]

ok 7.25

[knotty zodiac]

in balatro we round half down xD

[novel zephyr]

but it was seven point smt

[vague elbow]

ok thats better than selling it for the stencil tbf

[molten thicket]

god DAMN.

[vague elbow]

but also my god why were you skipping so much

😭

i mean if it works it works

[knotty zodiac]

skips go brrrrrr

[jagged cliff]

will give you a level when you play your throwaway hand

[novel zephyr]

my friends told me to cook so ask and you shall recive

[woven spire]

it gave me a level on a pair

pairslop run it is idgaf

[jagged cliff]

noooo pairslop

[echo sphinx]

pairslop gaming

[jagged cliff]

[novel zephyr]

I play without fear

[woven spire]

all roads lead to pairslop

[vague elbow]

i play without fear and thats why i DONT skip

[echo sphinx]

society if blue stake didn't -1 Discard

[vague elbow]

oh yeah this run was pure pairspam

it was like +18

[knotty zodiac]

world peace

[vague elbow]

now its +20

[echo sphinx]

hm

[vestal copper]

🪨 🔥

[echo sphinx]

what if i made a brutal suggestion based on it

[vestal copper]

blue stake doesnt need a rework

[jagged cliff]

wasnt there gonna be a change to blue stake

[tidal echo]

can someone help me salvage this run i think im cooked

[echo sphinx]

its so bad that pairslop is the optimal way forward

[vestal copper]

rebate nerfed

[vague elbow]

it doesnt matter whether or not it needs one blue stake is getting a rework lol

[knotty zodiac]

https://localthunk.com/blog/im-slow

[tidal echo]

what do i do here to not die or am i done for

[vestal copper]

1.1 will be new 2.2

[jagged cliff]

ive seen this

[knotty zodiac]

save your best hand for the acrobat

[tidal echo]

ok

[tidal echo]

would that be a pair or flush do you think

[vague elbow]

yeah play a pair last

[tidal echo]

with the levels

[vague elbow]

youve played 23 pairs its pairs for sure

[tidal echo]

with supernova as well

yeah

[knotty zodiac]

its close

[vague elbow]

the 4 extra base mult doesnt matter, that only covers 5 out of 8 mult itd need for flush to be better

[knotty zodiac]

but ya i think pair by a little

[eager summit]

winnable

[vague elbow]

and pairs already have better chips - i dont think that matters much though cause flush will go over pair with card chips

[vestal copper]

hit that vagabond

[vague elbow]

the poor constellation

[knotty zodiac]

also for the pair you can add stone cards

[eager summit]

2x

[vague elbow]

lowkey you might need to take a meteor tag

[knotty zodiac]

so ya pair finish

[vague elbow]

2x on a constellation 😔

i just had a run where it got to 6x

[eager summit]

i already did, 9 levels to 3oak

[vague elbow]

meteor, not orbital

[eager summit]

oh

what's meteor

[vague elbow]

cause orbital doesnt actually give you planets

it gives a free mega celestial pack

[eager summit]

oh right

[tidal echo]

this should do the trick right?

[echo sphinx]

yep

[vague elbow]

yeah thats more than enough probably

[knotty zodiac]

looks like it

[royal bobcat]

surely

[echo sphinx]

stone on first slot if doubt

[tidal echo]

oh ok

[vague elbow]

that probably doesnt matter

[royal bobcat]

yeah you should retrigger the stone not the random ace

[vague elbow]

but yeah that wuould be max score

[royal bobcat]

better to play optimally first

[tidal echo]

i got 109k lol

[eager summit]

ok so

uh

[vague elbow]

yeah acrobat does that

[tidal echo]

thios si the upcoming blindf

how should i prep

[eager summit]

lily

[knotty zodiac]

dont play not-pairs

[eager summit]

i got the next best thing

[royal bobcat]

you play pairs if i remember correctly, so the first hand you should play is a pair

[vague elbow]

just spam pairs yeah

[tidal echo]

its 1 hadn only

[echo sphinx]

pairslop

[vague elbow]

youre thinking of the needle

[tidal echo]

for 70k

[jagged cliff]

1 hand type

[vague elbow]

you can play as many of one hand type as you want

if you just play 4 pairs you should be good

anyway you know one pair can get you upwards of 100k with stone cards

[tidal echo]

oh i see

[eager summit]

@vague elbow will this do the job

[vague elbow]

with acrobat

[tidal echo]

what should i buy?

[vague elbow]

maybe but the ox will set you to $0 so thatll do the job LOL

if youre in debt the ox fixes it up

[echo sphinx]

lets gamble on standard packs surely theres a polychrome glass ace gold stamp

[tidal echo]

i got lv 8 pair

[eager summit]

so what, the tags trigger after i beat ox

[vague elbow]

yeah

[tidal echo]

\

[vague elbow]

tbf its not like seeing shops is doing much for you rn lol

[echo sphinx]

j steel

owo

[vague elbow]

dont crowd your deck, u wanna draw your rocks right

[tidal echo]

k

[vague elbow]

i mean idk

i dont have the full context

[royal bobcat]

i mean red seal gold is kindaaaa great

[knotty zodiac]

mm i might consider trashing the marble joker. it could mess up your pair draw if you have too many stone cards

[echo sphinx]

ohh right

[eager summit]

and with this, ox has no downside

[tidal echo]

im cooked

[vague elbow]

kinda goated lol

[tidal echo]

discarded over and over and didnt find a single pair

am i done for now?

[eager summit]

yumyum in my tumtum

[knotty zodiac]

hands are basically discards too.

[tidal echo]

but its one hand

[vague elbow]

nope, the mouth

[echo sphinx]

play 75432 and "discard them"

[vague elbow]

rip

[royal bobcat]

yumming my tummy

[echo sphinx]

rip

[knotty zodiac]

oh..

[tidal echo]

no discards though

[vague elbow]

i dont know how you got no pairs 😭

[echo sphinx]

ye play the hand
its kinda joever

[jagged cliff]

you could go for high card and hope on some sweet lucky card hits

[tidal echo]

honestly

[echo sphinx]

hope to get 5 stones by the last hand for the acrobat clutch

[vague elbow]

how many high cards did you play

[jagged cliff]

play 4 high cards and save the stone and 10 for your last hand

[knotty zodiac]

having that many stone cards is a bit like stuntman. bottomdeck occasionally

[vague elbow]

ok 10 high cards isnt bad

its not. good

but its not bad

[jagged cliff]

just do what i just said

thats the only way i can see you maybe winning

[vague elbow]

spam high cards and then hope for 5 stones

[tidal echo]

so what 5 do i play

[vague elbow]

the last hand is really all that matters here

[jagged cliff]

play 4 high highcards but keep the stone and 10 in your hand

[echo sphinx]

high

play for stones in the deck for the last hand

[jagged cliff]

and for the last one, well see what you have

[vague elbow]

5 stones is probably better than a 1/5 lucky shot

[echo sphinx]

anything more is a bit up to rng

[jagged cliff]

but hows he gonna get mult for the acrobat

[eager summit]

bro you're too late, i sold the credit card already

[tidal echo]

i got a glass card do i save that or what

[jagged cliff]

hes got chad

theres a chance

[vague elbow]

thats true

YES

SAVE THE GLASS

[tidal echo]

okok

[jagged cliff]

oh yeah glass

[tidal echo]

exactly what do i play her

[vague elbow]

play high cards, hold the glass in hand, dont play the stones

[knotty zodiac]

AQ32

[jagged cliff]

play everything but the stones and glass

[knotty zodiac]

hold glass

[tidal echo]

so play A, Q 3 and two but keep the glass and stones

[vague elbow]

yeah

[jagged cliff]

yea

[tidal echo]

ok

[vague elbow]

just do that over and over

hold glass and stones, play everything else as long as its a high card

[knotty zodiac]

your final hand should be glass stone stone stone stone

[vague elbow]

(if its not a high card make it one)

[jagged cliff]

K, J, 4

[vague elbow]

yeah play KJ4

[echo sphinx]

same strat

[knotty zodiac]

id hold the j

[vague elbow]

literally just play everything besides the glass and stones till the last hand

[tidal echo]

what dor

[knotty zodiac]

hm nvm

[tidal echo]

ok

first three it is

[knotty zodiac]

you could draw an extra stone

thatd be better

[eager summit]

i fucking hate water

[tidal echo]

same

[echo sphinx]

[vague elbow]

dont play a pair

[knotty zodiac]

[tidal echo]

[tidal echo]

[echo sphinx]

[tidal echo]

[vague elbow]

@jagged cliff lol

[woven spire]

LEAVE

[jagged cliff]

huh what you talking about

[woven spire]

dont

its a joke

[vague elbow]

glass is 100% chance

[tidal echo]

oh for real?

lol

[vague elbow]

yeah

[tidal echo]

what did i evben see

[jagged cliff]

yea no i counted wrong, i thought he had 5 levels in high card

[tidal echo]

no 4

[jagged cliff]

yea i know now

[vague elbow]

unfortunate 😔

[tidal echo]

how did i not find a single pair brooO!

[vague elbow]

yeah thats a crazy low roll

[knotty zodiac]

i think you had a few too many stone cards

[vague elbow]

i mean your deck was stuffed with rocks

but still

[tidal echo]

and then managed 4 stones and a glass

[jagged cliff]

pair is just not that reliable

[tidal echo]

yeah lol

[vague elbow]

stop the cap

[echo sphinx]

generally i discard the smallest numbers to max out the pair chance

[tidal echo]

💀

[vague elbow]

pair is definitely that reliable, even with this many rocks

[jagged cliff]

you saw it wasnt

how unfortunate

[echo sphinx]

also who is saying pair isnt reliable

[vestal copper]

yeah high card exists

[tidal echo]

lol

[tidal echo]

and that worked didnt it lol

[vestal copper]

it is reliable tho

[jagged cliff]

high card is the most reliable

[vague elbow]

the marble joker probably killed u unfort

[tidal echo]

on that note im getting off

time to get my first win tommorow

[jagged cliff]

blaming it all on the goat marble joker 💔

[knotty zodiac]

ggwp youll get the next one

[molten thicket]

it can be less reliable than pairs in some situations

like against psychic + bad draws

[knotty zodiac]

pairs offer more control usually

[tidal echo]

wait btw what jokers pari well with mime

[molten thicket]

yeah

[echo sphinx]

but with your specific deck, discarding the smallest number first might have thrown the run away

[jagged cliff]

chad

[tidal echo]

fr?

[jagged cliff]

no

most famous one is baron

[tidal echo]

whats that do

[jagged cliff]

1.5x mult for every king in hand

[tidal echo]

ooh

and thae becomes 3x i assume?

cause it re trigges

buit its exponential

[fringe nebula]

don't mind me, just want to drop this information overload

[jagged cliff]

laters

[fringe nebula]

run ended with level 45 pair

[vague elbow]

you were burning down pairs?

[eager summit]

not this time, you evil sob

[echo sphinx]

wdym run ended

[vague elbow]

i mean fair enough i find pairs to be too hard to burn down so i burn high cards

[knotty zodiac]

"mercury is bad, only 1/15"

[fringe nebula]

with brainstorm and burnt

yeah

[vestal copper]

verdant leaf

[vague elbow]

the runs over its ante 8

i dont think verdant leaf kills this lol

[jagged cliff]

if there is one thing you could add to balatro, what would it be, and why is it more crossover cards

[fringe nebula]

runs past ante 8 don't exist

[echo sphinx]

ohhhh

[eager summit]

i actually have a proper answer for this

[echo sphinx]

i thought like "endless run ended"

neato

[jagged cliff]

take the stage

[eager summit]

nah, i'm a coward

[echo sphinx]

another stake above Gold

[vague elbow]

microtransactions + battle pass /j

[jagged cliff]

diamond stake

[fringe nebula]

if there is one thing i could do to balatro, it's to make blue stake -2 discards instead of -1 /j

[uneven raven]

spaceman never lets me down

[knotty zodiac]

crossplatform saves

[jagged cliff]

wdym /j, that would be so awesome!!!! i love spending money on virtual items in games!!!

[jagged cliff]

just make it 0 discards at that point

[fringe nebula]

high card meta

lol

[jagged cliff]

👑

you are so right

[jagged cliff]

deltarune crossover cards when

[vague elbow]

blue stake gives you -1 dollars every round

not in balatro in real life

[jagged cliff]

blue stake makes you lose the game when you play a hand

[jagged cliff]

oh-

where does the money go tho

[vestal copper]

blue steak makes all of your other steaks blue

[eager summit]

me

[fringe nebula]

blue stake makes every boss blind crimson heart

[vestal copper]

so free?

[knotty zodiac]

blue stake deletes pairs as a valid poker hand

[patent sail]

blue stake means its blue, and for an amazing reason!

[fringe nebula]

high card meta :

[echo sphinx]

in this stake, the starting deck gains Eternal

[lapis lion]

no fuck deltarune how about a dwellers empty path collab

temmie chang needs recognition!!! More!!!

[knotty zodiac]

hm

[fringe nebula]

DEP MENTIONED

[vestal copper]

lol?

[knotty zodiac]

blue stake: "hands can only contain scoring cards"

[jagged cliff]

I would love crossover cards of Inscryption, Cuphead, Outer Wilds and Hollow Knight

[eager summit]

ok so, this is a stupid addition that i would really enjoy... a version of full house that works based on the played suits

[vestal copper]

flush house

[vague elbow]

like... heart heart diamond diamond diamond?

[eager summit]

yes

[patent sail]

blue stake: evil

[echo sphinx]

flush lite....?

[vague elbow]

thats really funny

[lapis lion]

for thos e who don't know dwellers empty path, it's a game made by temmie chang (the ost is fire, made by temmie, toby fox and camellia)

[jagged cliff]

Flush Apartment

[eager summit]

full studio

[patent sail]

flush studio

[lapis lion]

smeared makes every card the same suit on checkered deck right

[knotty zodiac]

temmie village but a whole game

[vague elbow]

baby flush

[eager summit]

full studio would be playing 2 cards of different values

[patent sail]

its diamonds = hearts and clubs = spades, not spades = hearts

[vague elbow]

temmie the character =/= temmie the person jsyk

[viral raft]

Hot take: All Xmult jokers are great/useful and can make you won gold stakes...except Throwback.

[vague elbow]

no it does literally nothing special on checkered deck

smeared does the same thing on checkered that it does on every other deck

[viral raft]

Nope!

[jagged cliff]

throwbacks the goat, helped me win my first few gold stakes

[lapis lion]

oh

[echo sphinx]

[patent sail]

hearts will trigger both bloodstone and rough gem now which is something no one ever needed 🔥🔥🔥

[vague elbow]

thats how it always works if youre using smeared

[patent sail]

yeah i knoe

which is funny

[eager summit]

i'm gonna learn to draw and draw temmie with a temmie suit

[patent sail]

becaude thats a combo no one would ever want anyway

[knotty zodiac]

presumably the character is somewhat of a self reference...

[lapis lion]

seed with splash, all 4 common suit jokers, all 4 uncommon suit jokers and odd todd and even steven and smiley face

[viral raft]

Hi Spidey, tbh Throwback makes me won mt first run but i just hate skipping rounds in high stakes

[patent sail]

everything scores something

[vague elbow]

yeah the character was inspired by the person

[eager summit]

and all naturally negative

[viral raft]

I hope Localthunk buffs tags, except a few all of them are situational/trash

[lapis lion]

wait add fibonacci and hack into the mix

[jagged cliff]

what you dont skip all blinds??

[lapis lion]

YES

[viral raft]

Why i would do that? I lost minmax and shops

[lapis lion]

and add like idfk four fingers and shortcut

[eager summit]

it allegedly exists

[lapis lion]

"play whatever you want" seed

[lapis lion]

probably look for a seed where negative tag and anaglyph deck does it

[eager summit]

nah, do it on erratic deck

[patent sail]

erotic deck

[viral raft]

Erotic deck

[lapis lion]

erotic dick

oops

[viral raft]

[jagged cliff]

WHITE MODE?!

into the balatro server screenshots collection

[knotty zodiac]

wen dark mode

[viral raft]

That's even crazier

[eager summit]

erotic duck

[patent sail]

i like white mode

[fringe nebula]

balatro out of context :
i want the world

[knotty zodiac]

wen white deck

[vague elbow]

its erratic yall LOL

[knotty zodiac]

erotic white deck

[vague elbow]

white deck...

[vague elbow]

that doesnt exist, huh

what would it even do? nothing?

"no special effects"

[vague elbow]

or maybe itd be +1 hand, -1 joker slot

blue deck but worse

[patent sail]

i like playing with my wee, it just grows so much you know

[viral raft]

Guys which is better? OPelisk or CampFIRE? Imo obelisk is more consistent if you play it well

[vague elbow]

depends

[jagged cliff]

bloodstone

[viral raft]

Yep

[eager summit]

i like playing with your wee too

[vague elbow]

chat what r we doing.

[patent sail]

probably without pants too, they dont synergise well with that

[jagged cliff]

what in the roffle

[vague elbow]

ok i know the joke youre doing but this is just false what

scaling chips and scaling mult go together

[fringe nebula]

i'm not sure
at one side, obelisk makes hierophant and stone cards more valuable
at the other side, campfire makes random garbage you see on the shop more valuable

[viral raft]

Peak rng joker (i hate bloostone)

[vague elbow]

you can play multiple 2s in a full house

[patent sail]

id rather do 4oak of 2s

[knotty zodiac]

what are they talking about when they say "hack the wee"?

[vague elbow]

sure but like. then youre not scaling anything lol

[eager summit]

brb bathroom time

[patent sail]

the wee in question

[jagged cliff]

good luck

[vague elbow]

a million chips times 0 mult is 0

[marsh dove]

In the goat we trust

[fringe nebula]

YESSSSSS

[marsh dove]

The only joker I need

[patent sail]

ive won my only wee run without scaling mult im pretty sure

but thats thanks to both bp and bs being there

[fringe nebula]

I LOVE OBELISK

[echo sphinx]

time to spam pair or smsh

[vague elbow]

whats your most played hand

[patent sail]

4oak has decent scaling

[marsh dove]

I got obelisk early I’ve already pivoted into obelisk scaling

I pumped pairs

[vague elbow]

ok

how many?

[marsh dove]

They’re at 14 which is more than enough

[vague elbow]

yeah thats good

though u probably need flat mult of some kind

[marsh dove]

I’ve done way sketchier obelisk runs than this will be

[marsh dove]

I have a high level straight and flush which will tide me over until I can find a flat mult

[fringe nebula]

do you have source of chips

[vague elbow]

lowk that arrowhead looking kinda tasty

[fringe nebula]

like hierophant or stone

[marsh dove]

Arrowhead

[fringe nebula]

ok

[marsh dove]

But perishable

I’ll find shit tho

I got time

I did take a suboptimal route to do this though

[vague elbow]

a bus can never fail you 🚌

[marsh dove]

Sold a rebate to ankh because funny

[weary depot]

Gold stake finished

[marsh dove]

Obviously not the play but it’s fun so

[echo sphinx]

i like what you're thinking

CONSTELLATION I MEANT SUPERNOVA

[echo sphinx]

gimme a moment to fetch a ss

[vague elbow]

girl cant talk

[knotty zodiac]

wow the whole game is a glass card

[viral raft]

I hate Bloodstone, worst rng joker in the game

[weary depot]

it’s not connected to the internet

[patent sail]

supering my nova as well icl

[viral raft]

Idc

[viral raft]

Makes sense

[fringe nebula]

i only take bloodstone when i have dice

[echo sphinx]

ehhehehheeh

[marsh dove]

About that

My goat

[echo sphinx]

holy

[vague elbow]

fortune teller...

[patent sail]

print the screenshot and send it to each one of us individually by pigeon mail

[fringe nebula]

fortune teller is goated

[knotty zodiac]

i also accept owl mail

[viral raft]

Yep, is the only reason to take it, is like Photograph with hanging chad

Photois is trash but works with hanging

[vague elbow]

bloodstone is amazing 50% of the time

[patent sail]

i will also accept rebate mail

[vague elbow]

photo is rlly good ante 1

[fringe nebula]

the fact that fortune teller can randomly show up on shop with +26 mult without you doing anything is so nice

[echo sphinx]

[viral raft]

Almost any joker is good in ante 1 😭

[patent sail]

remove all words but the first one and add "sucks" to make this more accurate

[viral raft]

Except seance

[knotty zodiac]

lets see who is the #1 rebate lover

[vague elbow]

bloodstone sucks 50% of the time

[jagged cliff]

why we hating on the best joker in the game

[patent sail]

my top 1 is square ❤️‍🩹

[fringe nebula]

best joker in the game is vagabond

[knotty zodiac]

i want to do a square four fingers run. sounds fun

[patent sail]

jimbo is right there

[echo sphinx]

yall missing who the real best joker is

i heckn love hanging chadd

[vague elbow]

best joker in the game is mr bones because he can give you x4 mult for no cost

[patent sail]

squarepants run 🐈

[digital pewter]

dysfunctional vampire joker (concept)
sucks 50% of the time

[unreal topaz]

or 4x chips on plasma

[vague elbow]

so bloodstone

[patent sail]

bloodstone exists

[vague elbow]

oh

[patent sail]

okay now i get it

[vague elbow]

SUCKS as in drinks your enhancements

[digital pewter]

i forgot the punchline

[vague elbow]

the best joker is ghost joker

[patent sail]

non functional joker (starts with flower pot and ends with flower pot)

sucks 100% of the time

[vague elbow]

the one that makes spectral cards appear in the shop

[digital pewter]

imagine an actual ghost joker and it's just a diet cola-like where you buy and sell it to create a random spectral card

[knotty zodiac]

broken flower pot joker:

0.5x mult, eternal

[fringe nebula]

oh now that shark is here, i have a question

do you play zodiac normally like any other deck? or is there something specific you want to do

[echo sphinx]

nah, imma destroy Sixes

[exotic orchid]

I agree.

[vague elbow]

me when oops all sixes doesnt make all my cards into sixes

[jagged cliff]

oops all six rework: Turns every card into a 6

[patent sail]

hammer joker

destroys all flower pots, gains X0.25 mult per flower pot broken, all uncommon jokers in shop now get replaced with flower pot

[exotic orchid]

I have yet to have a bad vagabond run.

[twin lantern]

:3

Ik

[vague elbow]

i think the joker who's killed me the most times is probably reserved parking

its just so enticing and then i play 4 high cards and die

[twin lantern]

No

[patent sail]

yes

we need something that destroys fl*wer pot

[twin lantern]

Dont play 4 high cards greedy

[patent sail]

🔨

[stone shell]

i think the joker thats killed me the most on gold stake was me

[twin lantern]

Hating on flower pot is an L

[vague elbow]

but im hungry 😔

[twin lantern]

Me too

[patent sail]

flower pot enjoyers when it sits there and does nothing

[stone shell]

well you didnt say gluttonous

[fringe nebula]

being able to make flower pot work is so satisfying

[vague elbow]

i kind of hate obelisk cause it always shows up when i have no business playing obelisk and whenever i have an amazing run all set up for it ready to go it just doesnt exist

[lapis lion]

when are we getting a joker which passively creates tags

[twin lantern]

Its ×3, if YOU cannot get value from a joker its a YOU issue. Skill issue.

[stone shell]

my flowerpot gold sticker was just 4-5 other uncommons and a baseball doing their damn hardest to carry it

[knotty zodiac]

good fit for seance remaster

[exotic orchid]

Bloodstone and ancient up there too.

[patent sail]

ive had ONE run where it was good because i found both it and splash at the same time

[twin lantern]

Flower pot ez ×3 <3

I love flower pot

[exotic orchid]

Also botched obelisk is a thing too.

[lapis lion]

flower pot + smeared is a good combo

[vague elbow]

ok, but those dont kill you BECAUSE youre getting value from them

[viral raft]

And that's bad, when you play balatro you play with consistency, especially with scoring jokers, another jokers like Hallucination are great because you don't depend on it to won round is just more resources, while bloodstone is a carry or killing run in all rounds

[stone shell]

ancient doesn't kill runs, you kill ancient runs

[fringe nebula]

oftentimes i find obelisk when i already have 12+ pairs played

[twin lantern]

Obelisk so good

[stone shell]

getting traumatic flashbacks of the one time i tried to do an obelisk pivot

[twin lantern]

Obelisk #1 win condition

[viral raft]

Obelisk my beloved

[lapis lion]

obelisk is good every few runs

[patent sail]

im better off going for literally any other XMult, flower pot is way too much work

yes you work with what you get, but is flower pot really worth it with how inconsistent it is

[stone shell]

but my most played hand was only twice

[twin lantern]

My most recent obe win

[vestal copper]

obelisk is always good

[lapis lion]

but if you have obelisk you just generally build your deck around it

[vague elbow]

i have so many runs with square/runner and like groker or bus, where ive played like 400 pairs. and theres just never an obby. and then i get a fucking negative obelisk on ante 8 when i have x6 constellation and x6 hologram

[exotic orchid]

Only time i ever played flower pot was when i needed the gold sticker.

[marsh dove]

I ditched the Fortune teller don’t need his ass anyway

I got the goats

[stone shell]

my dumbass doesnt focus on deck building with obelisk

[viral raft]

I love obelisk but that's a lie 😭😭 before ante 5 is just standing there doing nothing

[vague elbow]

ive played flower pot a few times. almost every time a seeing double shows up and i just go ok :)

[twin lantern]

Hating on pot is P

[fringe nebula]

i usually feel sad when i found an obelisk but my supernova says no

[twin lantern]

L

[viral raft]

Atleadt you can prepare it with minmax

[patent sail]

recently flower pot showed up at ante 8 finisher where i would die without that X3 and it had a chance at redemption

it failed spectacularly ❤️‍🩹

[vague elbow]

seeing double is flower pot's less demanding younger sister

[twin lantern]

It really isnt a lot of work

[viral raft]

I hate pot

[twin lantern]

Its ez

Hating pot is an L

Skill issue

[fringe crest]

good morning everyone

[vestal copper]

who tf likes pot

[marsh dove]

I mean pot is like mid

[eager summit]

back from the bathroom, that didn't look very healthy

[manic talon]

Which way western man?

[marsh dove]

Pot is occasionally ok but like

[fringe crest]

pot can be good

[patent sail]

well you gotta make all 4 suits score which is inconsistent at best

[lapis lion]

what's the best joker to have negative

[viral raft]

Who plays pot 😭😭😭

[vague elbow]

pot isnt a bad joker its just annoying and too much for what it's worth

[fringe nebula]

flowerpot is good but only when you have shortcut build

[viral raft]

Yeah
