[fiery nymph]

i dont like the dependancy

[ripe gull]

mfs when worse ancient joker

🦓

[wicked sonnet]

two versions of history

[wicked sonnet]

not really worse it's just a variant of

[rancid gull]

Mfs when better ancient joker with dice 😝😝😝

[ripe gull]

its worse

[rancid gull]

Only takes 2 jokers

[static adder]

mfs hate everything that isn't photochad

[pale wolf]

ancient joker that can miss!!

[ripe gull]

its 2 entire joker slots and does less because u can die to head

[rancid gull]

What’s ancient gonna do? Miss your suit???

I wanna play only hearts!!!! 😝😝😝

[pale wolf]

lmfao

hearts main

[wicked sonnet]

this is true

i would definitely put it below grimbo

[pale wolf]

im a grimbo main in balatro

[frank grove]

i find the dice combo fun and stuff but im almost never using bloodstone in runs honestly

[wicked sonnet]

but it's still absolutely in my top five

how is photochad my top two jokers i haven't used them in forever

[rancid gull]

Make yourself some wild cards and then run rough gem

Your Econ will be crazy

[ancient gyro]

but yeah my top 5 mult jokers are

pants
red card
rtb
grimbo
fist

[fiery nymph]

grimbo and square are my top two

[wicked sonnet]

this is valid

fist underrated in general

[ancient gyro]

woah

[rancid gull]

Unironically, erosion go a little hard

[ancient gyro]

erosion doesn't work all the time

[wicked sonnet]

YES

[fiery nymph]

🔥

[wicked sonnet]

it's my favourite (not best) of the + mult jokers

you're basically always looking to cut cards for the most part and it scales so quickly

[frank grove]

erosion is pretty fun

[ancient gyro]

fist being controllable "already scaled scoring" is pretty valuable

[rancid gull]

Trading card and erosion

[rancid gull]

So true

[fiery nymph]

i like how you can control the fist a lot

[wicked sonnet]

erosion + hologram + certificate + dna + marble +

[ancient gyro]

fist also doesn't have any boss blind counters

[wicked sonnet]

fist is nice

[ancient gyro]

while having steel compatibility

[wicked sonnet]

i absolutely underrate it

[frank grove]

apart from leaf i guess, but you can just sell a joker so it doesnt really counter it

[ancient gyro]

if you have to forego an extra joker sticker I suppose

[fiery nymph]

i cant do this straight run

because i have no idea how to start one

💔

[light brook]

well that’s what my girlfriend thought but idk she was pretty unsteady with it

[fiery nymph]

thanks

[light brook]

can’t do em in june so do em now (real talk runner is must )

shortcut and 4 fingers also help

but score wise you need runner

[frank grove]

once you have any levels runner is not as great

[fiery nymph]

i feel like runner wouldnt even be the best thing

[frank grove]

cause one straight level is two straights played for runner

[light brook]

idk straight build mult is kinda hard

[ancient gyro]

runner is a pair joker anyways

[fiery nymph]

i need someone to explain this to me

[rancid gull]

Straights are evil

[light brook]

for specifically straights i think it is except for whatever the xmult card is

[ancient gyro]

or an obbylicks joker however you view it

[frank grove]

the best thing is shortcut, shortcut helps you play straights more consistantly which is the issue not 15+ chips every hand

[light brook]

scale up runner, then abandon it and start to play pairs

same with pants

[fiery nymph]

i see

[ancient gyro]

runner requires straights to scale, but doesn't have any requirements to score

[fiery nymph]

yeah exactly

that make ssense

[eager summit]

what do i sell

[ancient gyro]

and pairs have the most joker compatibility

[rancid gull]

Astronomer

[ripe gull]

wowzers a brained take

[eager summit]

other than that

[ancient gyro]

lukewarm

[formal steeple]

is there even a max amount of jokers you can have?

[crimson hinge]

Do I wanna copy any jonklers here?

[eager summit]

mail

[ancient gyro]

5 :3

[frank grove]

no, you can do cola spam for neg tags to get hundreds of jokers

[ripe gull]

5 6 with antimatter and none with negatives

[ripe gull]

conste

for endless no

[ancient gyro]

rest is just paperweight

[unreal topaz]

copying rebate would be nice

in an endless context

[crimson hinge]

True, some nice money source

[ripe gull]

still kinda bad

gticket is better

[rancid gull]

Rebate try not to be good challenge

[fiery nymph]

what do i get here

[crimson hinge]

Would have to get rid of all my scoring tho

[fiery nymph]

groker or bus

[unreal topaz]

theres an open joker slot so why not take the short term money

[rancid gull]

Groker or bus

[ripe gull]

holding it for better is better there

[crimson hinge]

Eh I guess

[rancid gull]

Personally I’d always go with ride the bus

[ancient gyro]

golden ticket satire when I farm

[unreal topaz]

you could buy it and hold for blueprint/brainstorm

that would be ideal

[crimson hinge]

Indeed

[unreal topaz]

bus for sure

[ancient gyro]

rtb

[rancid gull]

Find yourself an 8ball my friend

[eager summit]

i sold reserved parking

[fiery nymph]

okay

why do i rtb over grimbo

[rancid gull]

So you can discard

[unreal topaz]

using discards gives you value

[cosmic sun]

just one of those runs

[unreal topaz]

not discarding costs money

later in the run

[fiery nymph]

should i fix to pairs

[rancid gull]

Grimbo and Delayed gratification is a good combo tho

[fiery nymph]

i see

[unreal topaz]

especially on ghost deck with easier access to seals

[rancid gull]

I do like that combo

[fiery nymph]

yeah exactly i love that shit

[fiery nymph]

this makes sense

im doin pairs

[rancid gull]

Welcome to pair slop

[fiery nymph]

madness next shop

[umbral fable]

Guys, whats a tag??

[rancid gull]

Actually kinda cracked

[fiery nymph]

im gonna do that

😅

[rancid gull]

A skip tag?

[fiery nymph]

its rental

[frank grove]

the things you get from skips

[umbral fable]

“Gives a copy of the next selected tag” what does that mean?

[fiery nymph]

do i take the rental madness fr fr

😭

[umbral fable]

Ooooo tyty

[errant bolt]

You get a skip tag when you skip a blind

Effects depend on the tag

[rancid gull]

Honestly might be worth

Even as a rental

[fiery nymph]

yeah true

[rancid gull]

Hopefully you get a nice blue seal/ scaling chips joker eternal

[ancient gyro]

i've taken it on black deck twice and made it work (ignore the obvious anecdote)

[rancid gull]

My fellas, are we skipping for a mega standard pack?

[fiery nymph]

im worried on overscoring

but i seem to be ok rn

[ancient gyro]

you have hc for that

[rancid gull]

U can also move your madness to left most

[ancient gyro]

and that

[fiery nymph]

im gonna do that

[rancid gull]

If ur not doing that already

[fiery nymph]

i have not

[frank grove]

do i keep scaling dagger now that bus is around.. hmm

[fiery nymph]

but i havent overshot yet

my econ is chopped

💔

[rancid gull]

How much

[fiery nymph]

uh

i was reading chat

and didnt realize i was on the mouth

yeah fuck that run anyways

🥀

[ancient gyro]

oh

[rancid gull]

Bro is not the reader

[fiery nymph]

😭

i feel bad

that couldve been fun

[atomic trout]

Huh...

That's a weird shop

[fiery nymph]

oh grimbo first shop yippeee

[atomic trout]

Still in space 🤣

[fiery nymph]

at least its cool

😭

[atomic trout]

Still in space

Even the music is in space

[frank grove]

I LOVE MATADOR

when matador works got does he work well

[ancient gyro]

the lucky card joker

[unborn cliff]

ante 1 matador is lowkey better than an investment tag sometimes

[ancient gyro]

yeah

more money

[fiery nymph]

i miss madness

[unborn cliff]

holy seance

[fiery nymph]

wow

[unborn cliff]

naneinf seance

[fiery nymph]

madness shop one

im fried

[unborn cliff]

this is surely a good financial decision

[fiery nymph]

its an amazing investment!

i mean

its one shotting rounds

boom eternal certificate

[tranquil steppe]

What would you take ante one in a pack - burnt joker or spare trousers?

[atomic trout]

Game's glitched. Gave me Blueprint way too late

[ancient gyro]

trousers prob

[frank grove]

probably trousers

[ancient gyro]

prob comes down to the deck

in terms of what can I get away with

subjectively speaking

[frank grove]

yeah, if i can beat the boss without anything (ghost/checkered) then maybe burnt

[eager summit]

something tells me i won't be beating the boss blind

[tranquil steppe]

That’s what I picked earlier today and it worked out but it was a much harder decision than I anticipated

[hidden lance]

straight spamming

[tranquil steppe]

It’s hard to pass on burnt

But trousers is one of the best scalers

[cosmic sun]

Just one of those runs (Obelisk x4.8)

[ancient gyro]

burnt would make more sense if I already had a mult source or if I'm playing plasma/checkered

puny obbylicks

[unborn cliff]

is it too early for a mime

[unborn cliff]

i sold flash card

[ancient gyro]

ight

[cosmic sun]

Sold flash card to the surprise of no one

💀

[unborn cliff]

foil was helping

[tranquil steppe]

Right but this was round 2 ante 1 with 0 jokers

[hidden lance]

flash card is so ass

[ancient gyro]

yeah I figured

[cosmic sun]

The Flash Card I had was at 20 something and that was only because it was A8 shop before Boss Blind

But it didn't really matter because I just found wheels that multed my other jokers

[flat warren]

There needs to be a Weakness card that does opposite of Strength frfr

[crimson hinge]

I have no idea how this worked but it did

[unborn cliff]

i guess bro

[tall jetty]

LOOL

oh its plasma deck

[spark kernel]

How hard is gold stake green deck

[cosmic sun]

I should actually use the flint to scale bus more

[atomic trout]

Still in space

Nearly flopped

[frank grove]

god i love oops

[ripe gull]

hold lucha till final hand

scale before

[tranquil steppe]

I love OAS

[frank grove]

oops not only killed my banana in like 2 rounds, thank god, but its just throwing 20 dollar hits at me like crazyyy

[spark kernel]

How hard is gold stake green deck

[umbral fable]

Yo how tf am i supposed to beat the game if atleast one time per run, i get shafted and literally pull 0 cards that work????

[tranquil steppe]

Not too hard

[flat warren]

AY DIOS MIJO

[ripe gull]

harder then average but not horrid

[atomic trout]

All Eternal Jokers... Perished

[tranquil steppe]

Oh look it’s Maduro’s captor Luke!

[ancient gyro]

pairs are more expensive on average but not much change outside of that

[tranquil steppe]

I think he killed El Mencho too

[ripe gull]

there is no price on perfection

[flat warren]

Capturing Maduro gave me 3 photos

Take notes

[tranquil steppe]

And you unlocked achievements

You’re probably in El Salvador

[flat warren]

Close, WA state

[tranquil steppe]

lol basically the same thing

[ancient gyro]

you're right

[tranquil steppe]

I forgot Canada was El Salvador

[unborn cliff]

died on ante 10 because baron wont fucking show up even after rerolling thousands of dollars away

[unborn cliff]

like bro 💔

[ripe gull]

it does that

u gotta play around it and steel early then to score for mime

[unborn cliff]

also this chud ass idol hit king of spades ONE time

[ripe gull]

idol isnt good

[unborn cliff]

chariot does not exist in my video game

[ripe gull]

yea it does that

[unborn cliff]

it saved me from needle at the time

[ripe gull]

standard pack go brrr

or early illusion but that kills chance for baron more and you dont have gold value anyway

[unborn cliff]

only notable part about this run was the fact i hit seance value 4 times in a row without deckfixing and that the seance was actually good

[slow iris]

woa

[unborn cliff]

here win

[ancient gyro]

squibby

[turbid dove]

Oh my

My fav deck is ghost deck

You cant go wrong with it

[unborn cliff]

wow ecto pog

[ancient gyro]

a2 r1 💔

[unborn cliff]

surely ectoing the blueprint will not get you killed

🐴

[ripe gull]

"seance was good in endless" aka just the 1 niche it has

[tranquil steppe]

Hex that BP

[unborn cliff]

skipped for a double tag

[ancient gyro]

surely

[unborn cliff]

🥀

[turbid dove]

Its a past run

[unborn cliff]

i got seance shop 1

[ancient gyro]

o

🥀

[unborn cliff]

it was a crazy ass seance

[ancient gyro]

seance giving me 5 immolates that one run I had was something else

[serene forge]

I hate Bloorstone

[ancient gyro]

bloorstone

[serene forge]

im too tired to correct that

[ancient gyro]

no you're not

[serene forge]

im dying of hunger

[ancient gyro]

you have too much reddit hours

[unborn cliff]

the seance was really good but i didnt even get to use the ecto because i couldn't find good enough jokers to sell everything but mime and brainstorm

[atomic trout]

What could be worse than one Medusa?

[unborn cliff]

immolate in standard pack

[serene forge]

a decapitated one

[atomic trout]

TWO MEDUSA

[unborn cliff]

voodoo doll of medusa is worse actually

[serene forge]

I hate Medusa Head

[ancient gyro]

what if medusa gave you head

[unborn cliff]

my wee joker is made of STONE now!!!!

[cosmic sun]

I could use endless players as transportation if I print out a spectral card and dangle it under a stick

[serene forge]

medusa was canonically ugly as fuck thats kind of the point

[frank grove]

ecto on a stick 😭

[unborn cliff]

does she reject me? would make sense why she debuffs my hearts

[cosmic sun]

Hop on my endless player drawn carriage

[unborn cliff]

this is my first creative joke please laugh

[serene forge]

neigh

[ancient gyro]

she'll fit right in in today's society

[ebon maple]

HahahahahahahahhahahahahahaahahhHahahahahahh

[unborn cliff]

thanks

[serene forge]

what about baron on a stick

[unborn cliff]

roffle drawn carriage

[serene forge]

she'd be in the upper half of people probably

[cosmic sun]

I switch out jokers and cards depending on how fast I want them to go

I would say Baron is max speed

[serene forge]

if you put obelisk on do you get thrown off

[frank grove]

they kick you off, yes

[unborn cliff]

stops dead in its tracks

[cosmic sun]

If I want to reverse ngl

[frank grove]

😭

[serene forge]

this is brilliant

[frank grove]

how would you parallel park with that?

lots of sticks i imagine

[unborn cliff]

reserved parking

[cosmic sun]

Insane maneuvers

[unborn cliff]

rotates the carriage 90 degrees

[cosmic sun]

I would have to wave the sticks around

[serene forge]

I hate Minecraft

[unborn cliff]

what the fuck bro.

[frank grove]

i cant believe they made the new baby sheep soulless

[cosmic sun]

I love Gregtech

[unborn cliff]

guy playing cult of the lamb for the first time

[serene forge]

im a coward so my bones jump out of my skin whenever i take damage

[serene forge]

good game

[unborn cliff]

this is true

[dull ridge]

Where can I get advice for my run?

[unborn cliff]

#🕹・game-discussion

[frank grove]

this makes sense from a balatro player honestly

[cosmic sun]

Minecraft modpack tier list:

1. GTNH
2. RLCraft
   everything else is doodie

[unborn cliff]

honorable mention: better than wolves

[frank grove]

gtnh is one of the most painful things i have ever attempted to play through, its very cool though

[cosmic sun]

I STILL need to get around to that

[unborn cliff]

it's so fucking difficult

[cosmic sun]

I feel like it's easy to lose direction

I stopped at LV

[dull ridge]

Should I sell a joker to buy the mime?

Keep in mind the mindteller gives me +30

[cosmic sun]

Smiley can go

And then DNA soon

[dull ridge]

Even if I only play face cards?

[cosmic sun]

I mean Fortune is at +30

[unborn cliff]

those don't look like mimeable cards to me

[cosmic sun]

And it's White Stake

and you have Yorick.

[dull ridge]

It’s all about gambling

[unborn cliff]

spoken like a true newbie

[dull ridge]

I always play based off luck

[cosmic sun]

You're probably overscoring at that point

[dull ridge]

It keeps me entertained

[unborn cliff]

vibes > luck

[dull ridge]

Hell nah

It bores me

[unborn cliff]

BOOOOORINGGGGG

[dull ridge]

So if I pick the mime, should I buy more “mimeable” cards?

[cosmic sun]

Buy devils

And blue seals

Steels are fine too because you could get Steel Joker

[rocky helm]

hello

[woven spire]

hi

[edgy stone]

Shoot the moon and raise fist

[dull ridge]

Also, when should I sell dna?

[woven spire]

ionno

[rocky helm]

oh yeah,,, i never finished this run

[cosmic sun]

For another xmult joker

[rocky helm]

rawg

[cosmic sun]

Or econ joker even

[woven spire]

what is glumbus.

[dull ridge]

Kk

Thanks tom

[rocky helm]

burglar

[unborn cliff]

it's glumbus, obviously.

[woven spire]

fair enough

[rocky helm]

who do i sell

[dull ridge]

That’s kinda a poser question

[rocky helm]

wait

am i stupid

[tall jetty]

🕚

[rocky helm]

chad

[woven spire]

🫩

[dull ridge]

Everyone knows glumbus

Omg I love glumbus

[rocky helm]

glumb

"naninf" ahh hand

[plain briar]

what do i replace for baron

[rocky helm]

speaking of naninf. but anyways whats ur deck, u might not need it

[plain briar]

nah i def need trust

[stone shell]

assuming youre going for endless, carto?

[plain briar]

wouldnt carto help me deck fix

and get more kings?

i do have tarrot merchant tho

[stone shell]

true but money is life

[plain briar]

money is king

[stone shell]

no money does not give you 1.5x mult when held in hand

[plain briar]

:(

[eternal pumice]

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[plain briar]

hol up trading card??

[serene forge]

sell parei

[rocky helm]

im sorry but i have to

[cosmic sun]

the pareidoiley glaze is so bad people sell cartomancer over it

[rocky helm]

WAIT CAN BLUEPRINT COPY BURG??

[cosmic sun]

🤦

[rocky helm]

im crine

[terse vale]

sell EVERYTHING

[terse vale]

ya cus it activates

[rocky helm]

wait this is big news

[royal bobcat]

glumbus

[umbral fable]

Is this a good Joker combo to start the game off? Seems good

[rocky helm]

do i ecto here?

[faint linden]

One of the most overrated jokers

[atomic trout]

¡Señor Huesos!

I'm so losing

[umbral fable]

F this game

I hate this game

[cosmic sun]

You greeded egg too long

[umbral fable]

I threw bro

I forgot to put the last card to a flush and played a high card

[junior urchin]

Would yall believe me if I told yall this was the same run

[umbral fable]

Im constantly clicking the wrong buttons

[cosmic sun]

Joker that is overhated by Redditors who only play the game one way and respectfully rated by everyone else

[dull ridge]

Todd I fucked it up

[serene forge]

remove pareidolia from the game, ngl

[quaint stag]

this challenge run is so funny on my first run i got literally everything i'll ever need

i even got a hologram round 1

[cosmic sun]

How you throw with Yorick

What did you replace

[dull ridge]

I replaced smiley with mime

But then I replaced smiley with the king joker

[serene forge]

super blunder

[cosmic sun]

🤦

[dull ridge]

Idk it seemed like the right thing

[rocky helm]

rawg

[serene forge]

let me tell you

99 times out of 100, buying baron will not be a good idea

[dull ridge]

I was full of kings

[royal bobcat]

raw dog

the opposite of a hot dog

[rocky helm]

there's four

[stoic isle]

sometimes i realize i suck at balatro

[dull ridge]

I’ve never played it before

[serene forge]

well now you know

that it sucks

[royal bobcat]

[dull ridge]

Lmao yeah ig

It was fun while it lasted tho

• I got my first legendary

[cosmic sun]

So uh

Stone Joker amirite

[dull ridge]

Wait, do ppl actually play stone cards?

[random lark]

should be a rare bc of powercreeping stone joker

[cosmic sun]

For chips

[stoic isle]

i love getting stoned

[cosmic sun]

This feels like a Stone Joker sidegrade

Cause of the extra step to get chips + removal of chips

[dull ridge]

Btw does Balatro still gets updates?

[cosmic sun]

Probably worse most of the time than Stone Joker

[stoic isle]

soon hopefully

1.1 tomorrow

[minor valve]

Soon registered trademark

[lyric karma]

ok this time i dont get the double sense here

[dull ridge]

Lmao

[stoic isle]

that's weird

there should be at least a Sixth Sense

[rocky helm]

hiker + retriggers 🤤

[random lark]

wee +

[lyric karma]

We all love retriggers

[rocky helm]

wee+hiker+

[unreal topaz]

yeah, 50 chips per stone card is a big deal

[lyric karma]

+chad+hack

[unreal topaz]

its just hard to get a lot of stone cards

[lyric karma]

wait

[random lark]

2 chip scaling jokers might be a lil too much

[rocky helm]

not on plasma

[lyric karma]

Yea that makes more sense

[dull ridge]

But idk there’s a lot of downsides

[unreal topaz]

such as?

[random lark]

oh nvm then, plasma is all chips

[dull ridge]

From my perspective, most of the time play jokers that depend on cards

[unreal topaz]

for me it's the opposite

[dull ridge]

You always play with stones?

[unreal topaz]

not always

[rocky helm]

9M2ZPBGD is where i get my stimulation (ikik it has to bee in the seed forum but still)

[unreal topaz]

but often i'm playing pairs, and stone cards are pretty powerful with those

and chip jokers are scarce compared to mult jokers

[lyric karma]

Which deck and which stake?

[dull ridge]

I get the point but isn’t it boring?

[rocky helm]

plasma white, just read the forum i posted a long time ago #1414047898295079062

[unreal topaz]

how so?

i still play a variety of builds when i can

but since pairs or high card are easy to enable i often end up in situations where i can get use out of stone cards

[twin lantern]

My Cavendish popped :(

[unreal topaz]

higher ranking hands take a lot more resources to work

[tall jetty]

i recently started playing pairs or if i manage my deck only 1 suit (for example only queens) and i like it and its effective

[unreal topaz]

and pairs allow me to be greedier anyway

[spring granite]

seriously 💀

[dull ridge]

How do you actually play pairs

[tall jetty]

???

[dull ridge]

Isn’t it better idk three of a kind?

[unreal topaz]

a generic scaling +mult joker along with a generic chip joker enables you to start playing them

[dull ridge]

Btw keep in mind I’m a newbie compared to yall

[unreal topaz]

or like a mercury card or two

[unreal topaz]

rather than a chip joker

[tranquil oasis]

blueprint and brainstorm first ante

[cosmic sun]

As soon as you have a good source of chips and mult you just spam away

[late helm]

drop the seeds brother

[unreal topaz]

it's very difficult to play 4 3 of a kinds in one round consistently

[fiery nymph]

it was a good financial decision

[cosmic sun]

Oh yeah and scaling jokers

[unborn cliff]

this may be true

[unreal topaz]

it's very easy to play 4 pairs per round consistently

[atomic trout]

To hell with you, Medusa!

[fiery nymph]

always get madness shop one ☝️

[dull ridge]

Okay, but isn’t it hard to get an actually good setup for pairs?

[cosmic sun]

Oh yeah and Obelisk exists so runs always have a chance to have different hands

[tall jetty]

im also newbie

[cosmic sun]

or maybe a rare Trio setup

[tall jetty]

i mean medium

im 80 hours wby

[umbral fable]

Ive never Ganaste yet😔

[unreal topaz]

I wouldn't say so at all, i'd argue that it's harder to get a good setup for other hand types long term

[cosmic sun]

Yeah cause with pairs you don't really have to do much besides have Joker scoring

[tranquil oasis]

HUNQYAGT

[late helm]

325 as of today 🛌

[unreal topaz]

there's a lot of generic sources of mult in the game

[late helm]

did you lose already lmao

[dull ridge]

My main base is full house and I find it easy to get a not so good but still good setup

[late helm]

what happened

[tranquil oasis]

no

I just lowk got bored

[cosmic sun]

At that point scale 3oak

[late helm]

full house just isnt good for highers diffs

or anything

rlly

[unreal topaz]

once you have blue seals pairs allow you to get even more value out of the broken thing

[late helm]

ngl

[tranquil oasis]

and also because I’m going somewhere in a second

[late helm]

Aaaa oki

[unreal topaz]

just dump all your resources down the blue seal bottomless pit and you win probably

[cosmic sun]

Burnt Joker Spaceman

[rancid gull]

I love blue seals

[dull ridge]

Once I get on a high score, I switch it to five of a kind or idk what it’s called in English

[tall jetty]

if u are playing white stake the flush is easiest\

[late helm]

yeah 5oak

youll see on higher diffs

full house wont do it consistently

or itll be harder

[fiery nymph]

me too

some guy was talking about how they needed a buff

😭 🙏

[dull ridge]

So what should I switch my main base for?

[late helm]

they r literally so good

[rancid gull]

Who said that????

Buffs???

[fiery nymph]

ider

[rancid gull]

What are we smoking

[unreal topaz]

depends on what you get

[late helm]

its really just wtv works for u lol, if u like full houses just do that

have fun

[tall jetty]

what stake are u

[unreal topaz]

full house is probably dubious since drawing it consistently is its own challenge

[tall jetty]

play 4 fdun bro

[cosmic sun]

nah try everything

[dull ridge]

I mean yeah, but I want to experience that naneinf everyone’s been talking bout

[unreal topaz]

sounds like you got a long way to go

[late helm]

thats a bit away 💀

[cosmic sun]

Actually when you try everything you also have to be honest with yourself

[frank notch]

baron mime on serpent

[cosmic sun]

Which strats are more consistent and why

[frank notch]

like the only naneinf strategy

[dull ridge]

I know but you gotta have a strat since the beginning ig

Like not a consistent strat but kinda of an idea

[unreal topaz]

you need to get the fundamentals down first

a typical naneinf run has some intricate pacing that takes a few tries to get down properly

[dull ridge]

Idk like the 4th one or 5th ig

[umbral fable]

How come a royal flush is t any better than a straight flush?

[unreal topaz]

it's way easier if you get through gold stake on a few decks first

[dull ridge]

I played a lot like a year ago and now I started playing again

[fiery nymph]

exactly bruh

they might be a top 1

[unreal topaz]

they're the same hand

just a different label

they scale by the same planet card

[umbral fable]

Yea but youd think the game would give you a bonus for getting a royal

[fiery nymph]

chip count i guess

💔

[unreal topaz]

idk it would be annoying to have a whole nother planet for the royal

[frank notch]

royal flush unlocks brainstorm when discarded

[dull ridge]

Are the spectral packs really good for a run?

[rancid gull]

Yes

[frank notch]

thats the only practical use

[unreal topaz]

they have very high potential

[umbral fable]

Damn i shoulda discarded

[fiery nymph]

i never use those in a real run anyways

or a flush house

[frank notch]

and brainstorm is essential

[unreal topaz]

that one i've used quite a few times

royal flushes i've done on like one gs run

[fiery nymph]

ive used both a total of like 3 times

😭

[tall jetty]

so black?

wait thats good actually

[umbral fable]

Ill discard my next royal flush

[unreal topaz]

flush houses are just way easier to deckfix for long term

[fiery nymph]

im too consistent in my gs runs

i dont experiment gs

[dull ridge]

I don’t really buy them that often since I don’t see the potential in them

[fiery nymph]

i want to but i have to learn more concepts in white stake for now

[umbral fable]

Im deck fixing pairs

[unreal topaz]

if you play some zodiac you can probably play some flush houses by the end

or abandoned

[dusty prairie]

just enjoying a little balatro

[fiery nymph]

i did experiment with this on gs last game though

i want to do a straight run

[unreal topaz]

i mean thats just a pairs build

[fiery nymph]

ya

[dull ridge]

Blue one but I play mostly white

[unreal topaz]

certificate goes crazy

[dusty prairie]

no one is questioning that I did this on ante 4?

[unreal topaz]

i'm worried you won't pick up trading card

[fiery nymph]

blue seals my beloved

[knotty zodiac]

am i going to die if i take 3 econ jokers lol

[tall jetty]

wdym mostly white? so u have blue on 1 deckbut on others white?

[dusty prairie]

im considering it

but

like

what do I replace with it

the double photophotochad is just funny

[unreal topaz]

you have so much extra scoring but not that much value generation

[dusty prairie]

I have polychrome gold kings

[dull ridge]

Oh no, I think in most of the decks I got until the second one but only to the blue in red deck

[unreal topaz]

i would sell photo, it's a common

[dusty prairie]

just need to start deathing

[unreal topaz]

comes back around if you want

[cosmic sun]

Lowkey a drunkard would be nice rn

[dusty prairie]

so does the trading card

[unreal topaz]

chad gives you money long term

[plain briar]

do i replace rocket or mail in rebate for luchador

[unreal topaz]

trading card is an uncommon

way harder to get

[dull ridge]

How do u even have so many negative jokers

In ante 4

[dusty prairie]

I got a little lucky

[unreal topaz]

and card removal is permanent value

stays after its sold

[eternal pumice]

[dull ridge]

Most of my runs I never have one

[tall jetty]

u need to skip for negatives sometyimes

[dusty prairie]

ima tell you a secret

[dull ridge]

Oh yeah, I always do that but almost never get them

[fringe nebula]

🐴 🐴

[cosmic sun]

🐴

[tall jetty]

oh okay so why u said u play white mostly? play the hardest difficulty possible (i dont mean to play red deck cuz u have blue stake) yk what i mean yeah?'

[dusty prairie]

@unreal topaz

this is my econ

[tall jetty]

if u unlocked red stake dont play white on this deck

yk

[knotty zodiac]

hm drunkard is +$2 per round right?

[unreal topaz]

yeah, trading card makes that econ even better

[dusty prairie]

only an extra six dollas a round

[cosmic sun]

Yea, those other econ jokers seem detrimental rn, I'd just save as much as I can while staying alive

[unreal topaz]

removing cards makes every single future card do more

[rocky helm]

its not worth it, yeah?

[knotty zodiac]

hm you dont think midas is +ev?

[cosmic sun]

Like Midas is usually good but will you generate enough to offset its rental tag?

[dull ridge]

So.. what is it?

[dusty prairie]

im picking up stencil

[dusty prairie]

its a secret

it wouldnt be a secret if I said it here

[knotty zodiac]

i should end up with +$4-$8 per round-3, net +1-5 , before deckfixing

[unreal topaz]

in an endless context later on rebate and idol become way more relevant

[dusty prairie]

thats why i DM"D YOU

[unreal topaz]

from trading card

also it helps you draw specific cards consistently

[knotty zodiac]

and then way more with golden ticket but then theres no more scoring

[cosmic sun]

I mean feel free to test, I've recovered from worse holes

[dull ridge]

Yh but I play chill, I don’t really want like a “challenge”, I js wanna set my high score higher

[cosmic sun]

One extra econ joker only btw

Ideally you want a 2nd xmult

[dull ridge]

Damn you’re right

Lmao

[dusty prairie]

I have an even BETTER IDEA

[tall jetty]

oh okaay play as u wish, the game is intended to be fun

[umbral fable]

Is this a strong set of jokers?

[dusty prairie]

I def need ANOTHER chad

[rocky helm]

oh. my. lord .

[fringe nebula]

no, but it works

[umbral fable]

What would be good here?

[light brook]

gatochad

[fiery nymph]

i could never use loyalty card

😭

[dusty prairie]

def picking up this polychrome 3 so I can sell everything to play a hack build

[rocky helm]

came for hiker + chad + chad + hack, got bp + chad +chad + photo

[dull ridge]

Quick question, if I play harder stakes do I have more chances to get better jokers or better runs?

[tall jetty]

nope

but the game is more fun

[unreal topaz]

higher stakes make it harder to get better jokers

[tall jetty]

if u have eternal jokers,perishable jokers,rental jokers

[unreal topaz]

harder to earn money

[cosmic sun]

technically madness is better

[tall jetty]

it adds new mechanics

[cosmic sun]

[unreal topaz]

harder to hold onto value generatkrs

etc

[light brook]

“oh i should play a wee/low card build!”
the humble photo:

[umbral fable]

I wanna get rid of it. I just got it cause its uncommon with baseball

[fiery nymph]

a bunch of jokers change up the higher you go

[dull ridge]

Man how do you keep getting more negative jokers

[fiery nymph]

campfire is pretty good since rentals get resold same price

you can do a bit of stuff with that

[dull ridge]

Mb I forgot it’s a secret

[cosmic sun]

dont fall into this trap btw they're playing hella suboptimal

[fiery nymph]

save scumming is for the weak

[rocky helm]

please pareidolia

[cosmic sun]

ppl who do this for rng stuff is kinda ehhh

I never bother

[fiery nymph]

i just think its weird

[cosmic sun]

It is tbh

[light brook]

i think the only respectable reason to edit files is for memes

[fiery nymph]

same thing with using bean bug for a naninf

[cosmic sun]

I won't outright object to it but like

The vibes are off

[fiery nymph]

like play the game normally ima be real

[cosmic sun]

I have never once used misprint tech

[light brook]

i think misprint tech is a different story

[fringe nebula]

sometimes i want to know what will the suboptimal plays (like taking wraith) do, so i savescum lol

[hollow atlas]

Question, why does the sound disappear if I connect a pair of headphones or earbuds?

[fiery nymph]

i dont even know what that is

[light brook]

like it’s an easter egg so it’s meant to be used idk

[cosmic sun]

it's a way to know the misprint mult

or smth

[fringe nebula]

no

[light brook]

i never see how it’s useful because very rarely is it useful

[unborn cliff]

taking soul every time i see it even if its bad

[light brook]

tells you the rank and suit of the next card you’re gonna pull

[proven gulch]

The order of operations is card chips, enhancements, seals, editions right?

[cosmic sun]

Maybe, maybe if I am down to the wire on my 6th streak

I would use it

[light brook]

i think misprint tech is fine solely because it is very very rarely useful

[fiery nymph]

yeah that makes sense i was more talking about the people who save scum to win

[cosmic sun]

Would you do it during bus animation

if you crash the bus

Be honest

[proven gulch]

It's good in checkered deck ante 1

[umbral fable]

The run didnt work..

[fringe nebula]

i have some respect towards people who use every single tool at their disposal so idk

[umbral fable]

Im never beating this game

[light brook]

really any checkered/flush build but ehhhh

wait desmos guy did you make desmos

[proven gulch]

usually past the first two antes you'll have enough deck fixing to not need it

[ancient gyro]

has anybody here achieved a throwbackless++ profile before (c++ without save scumming/continuing a saved run)

[light brook]

true

[proven gulch]

it's important for a 4/4 split (we hate gambling in the gambling game)

[fringe nebula]

i did

[lilac rivet]

Managed to get a 2nd naneinf run going. Knew there was a reason I kept the Cryptid around

[fringe nebula]

i did my first c++ without knowing about savescum strat at all

[light brook]

WAIT YOURE THE GUY WHO MADE BALATRO ON DESMOS

[ancient gyro]

without unlocking throwback

[fringe nebula]

oh

[proven gulch]

it's in the name 😭

[light brook]

dude i was so impressed when i saw this i’ve mentioned this multiple times

[light brook]

i’m a balatro fan i can’t read 😔

[frank notch]

baron strat early ante???

[light brook]

hey guys let’s do an early baron

[cosmic sun]

[proven gulch]

oh you saw it on youtube

[dull ridge]

Damn doing Balatro on desmos?

[frank notch]

its working ish

[light brook]

i did

[dull ridge]

That’s impressive

[proven gulch]

there's a thread for the updated version if you wanna follow it #1475327450794819594

[cosmic sun]

it's white stake

[fiery nymph]

is yellow the easiest gs?

yellow deck

[ancient gyro]

in a way yeah

[fiery nymph]

ive done all of my gs wins on ghost

i think i should move on

😭

[stoic isle]

i can't read

[woven spire]

easiest for me was red

[ancient gyro]

blue is the most consistent/versatile given the highest gs streak record done in blue

yellow has a good mix of simplicity and strength. 10 extra bucks doing a lot for something without that much depth

abandoned has the most dynamic play style regarding various poker hand builds

checkered is the most straightforward deck in terms of run direction

[fiery nymph]

hmm

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[fiery nymph]

thanks thats very helpful

[ancient gyro]

zodiac is pretty self explanatory. more everything, consumable blocking holds more value on average

[willow frost]

whats the wr now

[ancient gyro]

still 93

[willow frost]

nice

[static adder]

Now do it in Scratch

[proven gulch]

I'm not a masochist

scratch makes me want to tear my hair out

[static adder]

Idk, I find Green Deck quite easy.

It's the deck I play.

[ancient gyro]

green decks downside doesn't play well into the current meta atm

[fiery nymph]

honestly i feel like that would be hard for me to relearn my whole mindset around interest

[static adder]

I mean, $2 for each hand left and $1 for each discard left seems simple enough to learn.

[agile cipher]

i just won for the first time

[serene forge]

green deck is bad

[agile cipher]

this game is very fun

[ancient gyro]

seeing more of your deck being a downside for cash out ev on average isn't what I like to consider doing c++ on or at the least, try to do a gs streak wr

[serene forge]

"yes i want to be punished twice as hard for scaling my jokers" - statements by the utterly deranged

[static adder]

Huh

[ancient gyro]

seeing more of your deck will cost you

[proven gulch]

Checkered is easiest but feels like watching grass grow

[static adder]

It has no downside.

[serene forge]

I don't think checkered is easiest

[ancient gyro]

most straightforward*

[fiery nymph]

yeah no i dont like checkered at all

😭

[ancient gyro]

most sane ppl are like this

low cortisol gameplay

[fiery nymph]

i like ghost deck the most because its fun

[harsh relic]

my goaaaaat

[proven gulch]

i like red deck the most :D

[fiery nymph]

its a fun deck fr

the discards make it feel pretty nice

[ancient gyro]

you see more of your deck on average

[ancient gyro]

good enough for a first deck

[robust lance]

no downside

[ancient gyro]

im white black yellow colorblind

[lyric shore]

lowkey it has no upside

[proven gulch]

OH SHIT ITS MARCH 4TH???

[serene forge]

it has no downside to justgeneric75 because they are a noob and don't know how to accumulate interest

[ancient gyro]

well the upside requires you to play an off meta play style

[lyric shore]

hyped for tmrw huh

[proven gulch]

STS2 COEMS OTU TOMORROW AAAA

[serene forge]

the upside is that in ante 1 it can be like a temu yellow deck

[terse dock]

1. it does have a downside
2. literally 11/15 decks dont have a downside

[proven gulch]

and my birthday but thats less importan

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[fiery nymph]

chaos the clown

[willow frost]

happy early birthday

[proven gulch]

thanks

[serene forge]

happy birthdayyyyy

[willow frost]

say that again lmao

we all saw that

[stone shell]

happy bday

[ancient gyro]

idk if I wanna wait for mobile port sts2 or start with pc

[stoic isle]

happy hessday

[serene forge]

what happened

[willow frost]

someone said something about slay the spire and surgery i couldnt read it lmao

[ancient gyro]

i wiped

[proven gulch]

i gotta do sat tutoring after school tomorrow, eating my sts2 time :(

can't even wake up early cause it releases during school

[ancient gyro]

i have work until 4 hours after it releases

[fiery nymph]

okay i have a poly raised fist

do i get certificate or red card?

certificate right

[proven gulch]

lucky i gotta wait 7

[ancient gyro]

cert

[fiery nymph]

okay

[proven gulch]

[fiery nymph]

thanks!

[ancient gyro]

chip source solved

[fiery nymph]

just making sure

[proven gulch]

cert is free win

[fiery nymph]

blue seal ❤️‍🩹

amazing shit

[proven gulch]

purpa seal ❤️

[fiery nymph]

you predicted my next seal

and gave magician

[proven gulch]

gold seal 🧡

[fiery nymph]

stop

💔

[proven gulch]

did you get it

[fiery nymph]

yes

😭

[proven gulch]

red seal 💔

wrong emoji

not even sure what server thats from

[serene forge]

modded discord client user

[fiery nymph]

gold

[proven gulch]

lies

[proven gulch]

nuh

[fiery nymph]

im taking a perishable egg

💔

[serene forge]

egg

[proven gulch]

egg

[fiery nymph]

egg

[proven gulch]

Is the default deck the worst possible erratic deck

[fringe crest]

egg?

[fiery nymph]

yay constellation

[proven gulch]

i cast no more blue seals

[quaint stag]

does anyone have any advice on how to beat this challenge

[frank grove]

hope to find chips early, dont rely on on scoring effects

use enhancements to remove debuffs when needed

[proven gulch]

Its not as hard as it seems, just look out for matador and skipping has a bit more value

[quaint stag]

wait you can do that?

[frank grove]

yeah

[quaint stag]

huh neat okay

[frank grove]

or i guess use a wraith and get poly blueprint that works too 😭

[honest latch]

I was playing on abandoned deck and I picked up a photochad because I forgot it was abandoned deck and I kept trying to get a face card clubs and it took me using up all my hands to realize 😭

[fiery nymph]

so uhh

i have a guaranteed win atp

💔

[proven gulch]

ever since you took cert

[fiery nymph]

i found hologram

😅

[pure crow]

So at the beginning of a run I like to reset until I get a good tag on the small blind since it doesn't give money. I'm currently running abandoned deck, and on this attempt, the first 2 times I got rare card tag I got Baron as my free rare 💀

[frank grove]

you still get money from leftover hands just no reward money

[pure crow]

Yeah but it's normally not enough to get anything good, there's a few tags that have more value in the beginning than an extra shop imo

[quaint stag]

second attempt and i got canio hologram gracias local thunk

[frank grove]

investment tag is usually the only thing im taking ante 1

[fiery nymph]

whats that tag again

[pure crow]

I take rares, occasionally I'll peek at uncommons, and the free shop tag

[frank grove]

25 dollars after boss blind

[fiery nymph]

oh right

yeah i take that one

i only skip ante 1

[frank grove]

on yellow i sometimes do economy tag (doubles your money)

[royal goblet]

What about Negative Tags?

[pure crow]

Oh right I also take investment and the +10 mult tag

[frank grove]

you take holo tags?

[pure crow]

I don't think I've ever seen a negative tag an ante one

[fiery nymph]

i dont find those worth it

[fiery nymph]

ante 1 yes

sometimes its asss

but its worth a try

[frank grove]

im never ever taking holo tags

[pure crow]

Is it even possible to get a negative tag in ante one?

[frank grove]

i dont think so

[fiery nymph]

idk ive never seen one

[frank grove]

its ante 2+

[fiery nymph]

wow

[pure crow]

Oh what's the wiki link? Is it just fandom?

[frank grove]

this is all the ante 2+ tags

[frank grove]

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Tags

[royal goblet]

I think it's happened in like 3% of my runs that I see Negative Tags on Ante 2 at the lowest. Never on 1, though.

[fiery nymph]

top up tag should be ante 1

i think thats fun

[frank grove]

that would be fun

[fiery nymph]

i understand the others

[frank grove]

yeah orbital tag ante 1 would be kinda nuts

[fiery nymph]

that leads ur run too well

[frank grove]

hmm gamble time?

[fiery nymph]

jacks tryst

[pure crow]

I don't think I've ever taken Top-Up tag on a serious run, it doesn't make sense to be only on ante 2+

[frank grove]

it hit 5s hmmm

[fiery nymph]

usually its too late

[fiery nymph]

hack gaming

[pure crow]

Indeed

[void lintel]

top-up being ante 2+ is also weird considering riff-raff

[frank grove]

is riff raff top 3 commons?

[quaint stag]

okay either i was lucky as fuck or it really just wasn't as bad as i thought it was

also canio doesn't gain mult from debuffed cards which lowkey surprised me

[fiery nymph]

ya i feel like it would be a fun ante 1 skip

[north relic]

wut to do here

[frank grove]

this was the run i just did on that challenge

[pure crow]

Is it possible to get a soul card from a arcana pack tag?

[quaint stag]

half joker disabled like its gonna do anything LMAO

[quaint stag]

yes it is

[frank grove]

yes,

just like how black hole can show up in celest

[pure crow]

Got it. So whenever small blind has arcana pack I should take a peek just in case

On ante one

[frank grove]

its more common to see them in arcanas and celest packs than spectral packs because you see more of them and more cards in them

[fiery nymph]

mhm

do you guys think it would make more sense to increase the soul chance in spectrals?

[frank grove]

I think it wouldnt hurt

even if you doubled the chance its still 6/1000

[north relic]

halp plz

[frank grove]

is ecto only -1 hand size?

[north relic]

its 02

-2

[frank grove]

yeah i would sell the second mime for the bp there

[median nova]

Soul giving me trib on a challenge run is actually gold omg

[abstract frigate]

holy god dam

[north relic]

is the baron better than the mime for the kings?

[frank grove]

baron is score, mime is retriggers. and bp can just act like the mime

since you have a neg mime anyway

[north relic]

what i was wondering was if the mime retrigger on each king would be worth losing two of them

[north relic]

ok, js was wondering which was better

thx

[frank grove]

when playing hands you should be double copying baron if you have red seal kings anywya

[royal goblet]

Asking just in case I find a Spectral pack.

[frank grove]

Best spectral is probably trance
