[fringe nebula]

take popcorn

[stone shell]

dang nat J-6 straight

yikes next hand might win but i dont want to pay for popcorn rental

but the alternative is gambling for 2000 points on black deck

well 1500

its not impossible

im selling popcorn

yo did i get out of here

i think the bus is worth taking even if its rental

im likely not scoring enough for big blind so buffoon is forced by doing this

[green apex]

holy

ante 1 ouija carried my jokerless run

[stone shell]

IF I COULD TAKE YOU I WOULD

UNFORTUNATELY I BELIEVE I NEED SCORING AND NOT TRADING CARD

accidentally zoned out and played faces oops

think i played that early game to the best of my abilities

minus buying blueprint im never listening to a spade/j

[green apex]

am i just bad at the game or is omelette harder than jokerless

[stone shell]

i think you're just bad

sorry

[green apex]

omelette is one of the last challenges i have

[pastel pagoda]

I found a crazy seed while trying to beat omelette lol

[green apex]

can omelette be played like jokerless 😭🙏

[pastel pagoda]

I got my first naneinf when i did that seed on ghost deck

[ebon condor]

wait whats the downside of taking trading here

its a joker pack youve already spent the money

[pastel pagoda]

No you spent the money to look in it

You have to pay even more to actually take it

[ebon condor]

riiight mb i forgot

[green apex]

hold up why

[pastel pagoda]

Cuz like

[green apex]

is it because you lose out on discarding for your main hand

or general discarding

[pastel pagoda]

No no

You paid to see whaqt jokers are in the buffoon pack

Right?

[green apex]

yeah

[pastel pagoda]

Now you have to pay to TAKE those jokers

Like you paid to see if there is something worth paying money for in the buffon pack

[green apex]

yaeh

hmm ok

thanks

[stone shell]

i meant take and use

[ebon condor]

fair enough

its still nice to hold onto in case you get that scoring tho

[green apex]

maybe this is why i suck at goldstake smh

[stone shell]

holy econ

[ebon condor]

common riffraff w

[green apex]

rental doesnt even matter does it

[stone shell]

that coupon tag cooked so hard

[green apex]

with the generation of jokres

[ebon condor]

wdym

[stone shell]

usually you would either break even or gain 1 dollar from the sell value of the jokers riff raff generates

although if you pull 2 econ jokers from riff raff it is a bit redundant

riff raff is cooking too hard

[ebon condor]

hooooly shit

unfortunately you dont have many permanents rn but

[green apex]

wow

raised fist being perishable is kinda... but still huge

[proper pollen]

does anyone else never see the eternal sticker on the trading card

[fringe nebula]

me

[proper pollen]

since its like the same colour as the background

[fringe nebula]

i do

riff raff and credit card on black deck are soo good

[stone shell]

whats a sticker chat

[proper pollen]

like eternal or perishable

or R*ntal

[fringe nebula]

damn clean

almost like you're playing on white stake or smth

[stone shell]

i should probably look to replace flash card asap

swash alone carries mult enough

do i ruin the lineup

[fringe nebula]

no

look for another scoring joker imo

[stone shell]

flash card is 16 mult but swash is 40 im not too attatched to it

[fringe nebula]

you already have enough econ from temperance

[stone shell]

true but more econ -> more chance to find scoring

[fringe nebula]

i wouldn't take rocket

[shell dagger]

rocket is buns here

not even breaking even till ante 7

[stone shell]

i forgot i had these do i still need some

[fringe nebula]

i would make more of em

[shell dagger]

depends on ur planets

but you’ve got the jokers for a pair build

[proper pollen]

tje consequence of no chigoat 💔

[stone shell]

i can definitely put one level in 4oak

[fringe nebula]

that's still alot of mult even on pairslop nonetheless

[fringe nebula]

and you still have alot of time to find retrigger

[stone shell]

i dont think its neccesary rn i can find mars another time

[exotic silo]

The beginning: Idol starts hitting

[stone shell]

i found a blackhole

i dont think i need that mars anymore

[exotic silo]

Chicot save at the second to last shop before certain death

(Idol missed TWICE but I got through because I had three copies of the cards that Idol chose both times)

Luchador clutch on the Plant

[proper pollen]

blue print on chigoat

[odd mango]

FINALLY WON LOL

[stone shell]

is a blue seal and a red glass worth $20 and removing slop

[knotty zodiac]

STM bottomdeck is fun

[stone shell]

assuming worst possible luck i would probably still take it

[odd mango]

good econ and good joker that scales the reason i won lol

[exotic silo]

Ectoplasm clutches right as blind requirements caught up, I got Seltzer to survive just about, still no Observatory

[stone shell]

i only lost the glass but that still hurts

[exotic silo]

Used glasses and 23 Erises to edge the last boss blind to finally get Observatory

i got lazy and ended the run at ante 25

could have reached ante 26 but no more than that unless I got either a nat negative duplicator joker or nat negative juggler into a third ecto

[queen kindle]

FUCK IT WE BALL

[exotic silo]

that was my first deep endless run, thanks for coming to my ted talk

[exotic silo]

looks like a winning combination

[pastel pagoda]

Thats pretty good

[exotic silo]

as long as Hologram scales reasonably well, you're basically winning now

[queen kindle]

just saw madness and half in the shop and decided fuck it, pivot time

[stone shell]

holy shit

[queen kindle]

taking him for the funny

[eager bluff]

Is standard pack worth opening early? And, beside blue seal, which cards you gonna pick

I actually always pick gold card for money but dont know if its ROI worths it

[stone shell]

three stickers is crazy work 😭

[queen kindle]

too late homeboy

[stone shell]

+3 gold stickers 🎉

[tiny temple]

About time for me to start gold stake, I'm scared

[queen kindle]

apparently cryptid affects hologram

based

[quick umbra]

Seems like a pretty good run so far

[jagged cliff]

Negative egg carry??

[quick umbra]

Natural negative egg might i add

[stone shell]

as an encore heres my 4oak if i had the ability to play it

[quick umbra]

Thanks random buffon pack

[stone shell]

think that scored 800k

[jagged cliff]

ohhh snap

[vestal copper]

nat neg egg is basically gg

[queen kindle]

my hubris

[stone shell]

yeah even VV wouldn't have been much of an issue

[vestal copper]

violent vesseled

[stone shell]

couldve scored 1.5m if i was able to hold onto the steel

[jagged cliff]

Why is everyone getting in debt

[smoky niche]

had a godly gold stake black deck run but i got slaughtered by the plant again

[ebon condor]

classic face card build moment

[smoky niche]

glass numbered cards dont do shit 💔

[midnight talon]

why hide rental

what did rental jokers do to bro

[lyric karma]

how unlucky do i have to be to not draw a single pair on a boss blind

[vestal copper]

break

[fringe nebula]

don't be

you will have less money on gold stake but it's still fine (on decks other than black)

[jagged cliff]

That moment when you wanna play Balatro but you can't because you're supposed to be working 💔

[tiny temple]

I feel like my orange stake runs have often been relatively close for much of the runs. Hard to imagine having way less money to work with and winning unless I high roll

[tiny temple]

Feeling that now

[ebon condor]

plus, there are situations where rentals can be helpful

after all they do start cheaper

it creates a lot of interesting strategy

[fringe nebula]

don't be afraid to take eternal econ joker btw

if i see ante 1 eternal golden joker i would take it with no hesitation

[tiny temple]

Interesting, ok!

[stone shell]

right i was meant to be doing homework and not black deck gold stake

at least i had fun ig

[jagged cliff]

go do your homework

[tiny temple]

This is kind of unrelated but is it relatively accurate to say that you most of the time you can't win on purple stake+ without xmult jokers? What if you just don't get offered any? Is that a realistic concern?

[stone shell]

@fringe nebula
not really a hard seed but how much money can you squeeze out of this seed
Q7ET9VU8

[midnight talon]

lwk me yesterday

[stone shell]

realistic but its still managable if you play around enhancements and hands instead of joker scoring

[ebon condor]

generally, yeah, you need xmult to live

[jagged cliff]

Its just so relatable

[stone shell]

glass + steel by themselves are alot strong than people give them credit for

[fringe nebula]

i have said it 8 times in this server and i will say it again

money solves balatro. if you have money you can reroll deeper

[ebon condor]

however, if you focus on econ and rerolling, not finding ANY is very unlikely

[ancient adder]

Hey y'all!

[midnight talon]

hi

[ebon condor]

even stuff like gold cards can be extremely strong without even taking up joker slots

[jagged cliff]

waddup

[ebon condor]

ive been underrating them for years and i must repent

[fringe nebula]

triple devil is one of my favorite start on magic deck yeah

[tiny temple]

Yeah I think I over prioritize trying to stay above $25 even when I may need to re-roll early on and am probably undervaluing econ jokers and gold cards

[fringe nebula]

black deck?

[stone shell]

black deck

[ebon condor]

what deck are you going for gold on btw?

[stone shell]

tbh all decks are viable for gold stake except black deck and nebula

[ebon condor]

nebulas overhated the deck is fine

its the 3rd or 2nd worst deck, sure, but its like c tier

[stone shell]

nebula is cool but i just feel like reducing a consumable slot is not a good tradeoff for telescope

[ebon condor]

black deck is f tier

[stone shell]

esp with the antisynergy with tier 2 telescope

[ebon condor]

oh absolutely, but its not like horrid

[tiny temple]

I haven't started yet. Going to be doing all of them, just have 2 orange stakes left

[vestal copper]

is green the 3rd worst

[ebon condor]

nebula would be like a b tier deck without the -1 consumable slot idk why its even there

[ebon condor]

plasma

[vestal copper]

oh

alr

[stone shell]

(in a gold stake context)

[midnight talon]

going for green stake with checkerd deck, wish me luck gang

[vestal copper]

gl

[stone shell]

gl

[tiny temple]

Good luck!

[ebon condor]

but like genuinely i cant stress enough black deck is the worst deck by genuinely an insanely wide margin

[tiny temple]

I'm guessing I should leave black deck for last lol

[ebon condor]

its not remotely close

[frank notch]

do i go for it?

[midnight talon]

sitaution im on rn

[tiny temple]

It's funny because when I started playing on early stakes I was sure it was maybe THE best given how powerful jokers are

[ebon condor]

yeah i thought that too when i started playing lol

[stone shell]

jokers are op but the problem is you need to live long enough to afford them

[ebon condor]

but as it turns out, -1 hand is so so so so bad

[trail pier]

i think this is the most ive played a single hand type before endless

[tiny temple]

Yeah, just for clarity. The main issue with black deck is early antes being brutal right? Feels much more manageable and becomes a positive by late antes?

[ebon condor]

yeah pretty much

[stone shell]

you still feel the -1 hand impact even in late antes for certain builds but its alot more managable by like

[ebon condor]

-1 hand not only greatly reduces your margin for error, but also your econ, as well as your ability to scale jokers

[stone shell]

ante 4

[ebon condor]

in the late game, its certainly more manageable, but it can still be rough

but like, if black deck only gave you that -1 hand after ante 4, it would be like 3x better

so

[tiny temple]

I have another totally unrelated question. Is photograph good for anything other than photochad?

[ebon condor]

uhhh its not amazing

[stone shell]

contextually good but photochad is just its best synergy

[ebon condor]

its good in any situation where a single glass card would be good

which is sometimes, dont get me wrong

[midnight talon]

40.67 is crazy bro 💔

[shadow kayak]

i just lost a baron run in the worst way imaginable 😭😭

[jagged cliff]

?

[shadow kayak]

oh i wish

just watch

[lyric karma]

didnt draw enough kings?

[shadow kayak]

noo 😭😭

[ebon condor]

?????

[lyric karma]

why did you do that in the first fucking place

[ebon condor]

how did you manage that

[frank notch]

nat negative cavendish???

[shadow kayak]

idrk

[jagged cliff]

😭

[stone shell]

but why

[jagged cliff]

thats insane

[shadow kayak]

it just happened

misclick ig

but like

[ebon condor]

im sorry but thats really funny

[stone shell]

also you couldve savescummed i think

[shadow kayak]

theres nothing to press around that 😭😭😭😭

[jagged cliff]

But hey, poly egg!!!

[shadow kayak]

my finger just went there

[lyric karma]

what were you trying to do then????

[jagged cliff]

Shh savescumming isnt fun

[shadow kayak]

i was literally crying from laughter as i witnessed my poly egg appear

[shadow kayak]

idk i wanted to reroll

and it just happens i wss reading the hex

[jagged cliff]

POLY EGG!!!

[shadow kayak]

poly egg is the funniest thing that has ever happened to me in a long time

im not even mad bc
i wouldnt have laughed that much if i went on w the run

[jagged cliff]

Was that the Hex of 26

[lyric karma]

it hurts even to me but i cannot not laugh

[jagged cliff]

new run time, it was green stake anyway

who cares!!

[lyric karma]

Who was that

im going to find you

[shadow kayak]

im literally dying i love the poly egg

[shadow kayak]

i just started on ghost deck so it kinda matters

but i won the run so meh

[ebon condor]

endless is just for the funny anyways

[lyric karma]

If you were streaming that it would be so iconic

[jagged cliff]

youll get a fun run soon

[keen pilot]

exactly what I need here

[shadow kayak]

it is iconic as it is

[twin lantern]

Nah

[ebon condor]

finally, some good fucking synergy

[lyric karma]

hell no

[ebon condor]

nova + baron truly the greatest combo oat

[trail pier]

omg

[jagged cliff]

Egg!!!!

🥚

[shadow kayak]

and the thing is
ive been trying orange stake black deck the entire night and i got so sleepy in that baron run bc it just
was kinda easy 😭

i think that could explain it a lil

[twin lantern]

Sell all but egg

[lyric karma]

Get the egg, find an spectral pack and use hex

[shadow kayak]

NEVER BUY A HEX

WORST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE

get the egg tho

[jagged cliff]

BUY A HEX

[lyric karma]

no actually

[twin lantern]

I buy hex

[keen pilot]

p.s. this is meant to be a joke, in case there were any doubts xP

[lyric karma]

They should do it

[shadow kayak]

it wouldnt hit the egg i fear

too many jokers

hed end up w a hex’d mime or something

[ebon condor]

solution: sell them allk

[knotty zodiac]

tried this, pretty sure this is not the way

still convinced that red card is only good if you have no other scaling mult choice

[shadow kayak]

knowing hex itd just destroy my last egg and leave me jokerless

[unreal topaz]

a lot of booster packs are ones that you skip anyway

you can play pretty close to normally if you use red card

[fringe nebula]

yeah i couldn't find the gift card

where did you find it

[stone shell]

ante 2 i think

[unreal topaz]

like celestial packs give you what you want like half the time, maybe less, standard packs have a lower chance than that of having the seals you want, arcana packs and buffoon packs have a lot of bad hits

red card is a consolation prize

[fringe nebula]

red card is good, but you still need chips lol

big mult don't matter if your chip is only 40

[unreal topaz]

yeah

you skip celestial packs every time if you have a strong source of chips

without that you skip them more often than not but still take the planet you're using

[stone shell]

weird im using blueprint seed analyzer and i cant find the gift card

surely i didnt manifest it with sheer will i was on vanilla

[fringe nebula]

yeah that's why i'm confused

[unreal topaz]

prob an uncommon block

it was a joker you had already

[stone shell]

it was

[unreal topaz]

and got rerolled into gift card

[stone shell]

at the start of round

or well like ante 1-2

i did NOT have anything else

[unreal topaz]

wack

[stone shell]

closest thing is this boot which is a gift card instead

[fringe nebula]

how

[keen pilot]

Oh no.. I really shouldn't.. or should I?
More +mult and x1.5 is still pretty good xP

• it's funni

[smoky niche]

who needs vampire anyway

[fringe nebula]

me

[smoky niche]

why is gold stake black deck so cringe

[stone shell]

i distinctly remember skipping for coupon and then riff raff generating a fuckton of econ

[fringe nebula]

black deck is fine until blue stake

-1 discard on black deck is brutal

[stone shell]

did i get it from a judgement?

no i dont think so

[fringe nebula]

also, black deck earlygame is VERY hard
dying at ante 1 is not a surprising thing

[knotty zodiac]

two things here:

• OP claims full skip except for hermit is optimal. it's... not.
• I claim that red card is worse than other scaling mult. red card is not bad, but you have to make larger sacrifices for it relative to rtb, green, supernova, fortune teller, trousers, etc, which makes it worse than the alternatives

[proper pollen]

the humble 6 sly jokers:

[keen pilot]

Mkay, that's something now

[ebon condor]

well yeah, op is very wrong there but red card is actually fairly strong for a scaling +multer still

[fringe crest]

yeah this is a very good explaining of red card

[smoky niche]

how it feels when i open the first shop buffoon pack and see two shit eternal rentals

[fringe nebula]

the good thing about red card is that you can get +3 mult instead of using some random junk you get from opening packs

[stone shell]

yeah the closest explanation is i somehow got it by rerolling twice in ante 1

but like

[fringe crest]

you always take the eternal rental gluttonous joker though

[stone shell]

i cant afford that

[fringe crest]

balatrodle time

[ebon condor]

it scales based on something youre going to be doing already (opening packs), and provides a roughly 3 mult per $5 value proposition

which is pretty strong for a scaler, esp considering you dont need to burn econ with hands

[fringe crest]

fuck this game

i hate todays balatrodle

[unreal topaz]

i claim it's less sacrifices than grimbo and supernova but more sacrifices than bus, fortune teller isn't in the same league as those and trousers is ofc better than all of them

[fringe crest]

im playing colordle

[ebon condor]

obv things like trousers and bus are better but red card is up there

[stone shell]

is there a way to check judgement queues with blueprint

[unreal topaz]

in a typical run

like you take stuff from packs that you'd already take

you take a gold card from a standard pack or a mercury card from a celestial pack if it shows up

but red card makes the worst case scenario +3 mult

if you're getting something worth more than +3 mult from a pack that's great!

[manic talon]

Pants and red card are the only good scaling +mult joker. The 3 lobotomy +mult scaler is just okay at best.

[unreal topaz]

i have to disagree with that

[stone shell]

yeah sorry @fringe nebula i actually have no explanation for where i pulled gift card on black deck

[unreal topaz]

the fact that they will condense +50 or higher mult, which is also hand agnostic into one joker slot is huge

[fringe nebula]

lmao

[manic talon]

There should be in the top right hamburger button, along with other card sources like tags riff raff etc

[stone shell]

im officially an anomaly who is accusable of cheating in balatro

please do not ban me

[unreal topaz]

@ localthunk

[fringe nebula]

cheating????? in an offline game?????

[jagged cliff]

how dare people do such a thing!!!!

[lyric karma]

@ erradicate this guy

[manic talon]

Wait for your TurtleBean cheater video

[stone shell]

it all started when i sold oops all sixes for photograph when bloodstone was in the same buffoon pack...

[lyric karma]

No thats actually a good move

opposite of what you would think

[fringe nebula]

can you repeat the things you did one by one on that seed?
how did you somehow managed to summon a gift card out of nowhere

[stone shell]

i can try to replay the seed wait

[fringe crest]

aaaand got the colordle in 23

[manic talon]

You should play horsle

[lyric karma]

youall should play dledle

[jagged cliff]

you all should play balatro

[lyric karma]

boring

What is bus crasher typing tho

mega essay

[fringe nebula]

sorry, black deck makes me not want to play balatro for awhile

i shall read some manga instead

[fringe crest]

is horsle a real thing

[jagged cliff]

think bus crasher crashed

[keen pilot]

This is getting silly now

[manic talon]

Kinda

[jagged cliff]

manga

What manga

[fringe nebula]

houkagogakari

[lyric karma]

True true

happened to me

[onyx locust]

You can get soul cards in arcana packs?!

[jagged cliff]

I feel like I've heard of this, but I haven't heard of this

[fringe nebula]

yes

[lyric karma]

but instead of reading manga made me play other game

[lyric karma]

On arcana packs and spectral packs

[onyx locust]

I again got 2 legendary joker after previous dual legendary in a row

From arcana

[white forge]

$53 eris

[fringe nebula]

"houkago" is a common japanese phrase so yeah

[fringe crest]

horsle is so fun

[manic talon]

Isnt that naruto's dream or smth

[jagged cliff]

ahh, makes

[manic talon]

I got it in one

[fringe nebula]

that is hokage

[fringe crest]

how

[manic talon]

Secret tech

[lyric karma]

I guess bro

@knotty zodiac what are you writing

[proper pollen]

BLACK DECK IS EASY

[fringe nebula]

bus crasher is message edging

[stone shell]

yeah i somehow afforded it by ante 1

[lyric karma]

Makes sense

[fringe nebula]

god "message edging" sounds cursed

[stone shell]

im actually so confused

how

OH THAT MAKES SENSE NOW

it was judgement arcana pack

[lyric karma]

huh

[fringe nebula]

......

[keen pilot]

I did it

[lyric karma]

Holy moly

[stone shell]

my bad

did you just hanged and magician there

[smoky niche]

how did you get so many ankhs

[knotty zodiac]

im changing my mind as im writing, dont mind me lol

[fringe nebula]

i opened buffoon pack instead

[keen pilot]

Ghost deck and luck

[stone shell]

ohhhhh

[lyric karma]

aight

[eternal minnow]

Yinz know what you can find after gros michel goes extinct?

[stone shell]

i skipped for voucher tag blind 1

[stone shell]

so it went

skip small blind
beat big blind with straight -> diamond flush
buy the stuff in the shop since its free
judgement magician from arcana pack

did i just play incorrectly

[keen pilot]

pretty gooood

[stone shell]

is my thought process atypical from gold stakers

[fringe nebula]

why are you skipping the small blind on black deck you buffoon

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/694849009411555379.png?v=1&size=48&quality=lossless

[jagged cliff]

throwback value fr fr

[stone shell]

because i evaluated that coupon tag is a good skip for ante 1

small blind

also i usually beat big blind in 2 hands anyway

am i really that dumb

[manic talon]

You skipped so yea

[keen pilot]

"How Good is 5 Copies of Polychrome Supernova???"

[stone shell]

i distinctly remember years ago people say that investment and coupon are the only good ante 1 skips 😭

am i outdated

[manic talon]

I dont like coupon tag at all, the floor is only 8 dollar of value, its way way worse than investment tag

[manic talon]

I mean, people do say coupon tag is good, i just dont agree at all

[jagged dune]

Taking the rare tag at ante 1 was VERY worth it lol

This has to me one of the most fun I had with balatro

[left sorrel]

It looks more like bluntish 🫣

[fringe nebula]

coupon tag is good........ ||if you get 2 mega arcana pack, a dusk and a vagabond||

[stone shell]

coupon tag on the speculative blueprint brainstorm double mega spectral packs next shop

[eternal minnow]

Its a joint :3

[keen pilot]

I wish I had antimatter now xP

[manic talon]

Maybe MAYBE coupon tag is better on zodiac, but i dont play zodiac enough to judge

[smoky niche]

where did the madness go

[stone shell]

gay space

[left sorrel]

Pair slop final boss

[smoky niche]

wait not madness

[stone shell]

not to be confused with a gay space joker

[smoky niche]

hologram

[manic talon]

Coupon tag sounds kinda okay in purple stake tho

[smoky niche]

how did you get so many ankhs

[jagged dune]

m

[keen pilot]

I got 5th ankh for the funnies

[vernal breach]

Thats really funny

[fringe nebula]

nah that is not pairslop enough

this is the ultimate pairslop

[keen pilot]

ghost deck + luck

[manic talon]

No square or blackboard in this, not slop enough

[jagged dune]

I also had this run before that died at this moment
It was also held by a rare tag in ante 1

Always take the rare tag at ante 1 kids

[fringe nebula]

how about this one

[jagged dune]

mmmm pairs

Yummy mercury

[keen pilot]

Tbf hologram would be much better in this spot rn xP

[manic talon]

Yea this one is pure unaldulterated slop

[stone shell]

flash card could probably be card sharp for true slop

[jagged dune]

Speaking of hologram

[manic talon]

Flash card is spiritually slop

[stone shell]

flash card is reroll slop

trust

[fringe nebula]

if you have to choose between flash card midas or red card midas, which one would you choose?

[keen pilot]

gg, 5 poly supernovae are indeed pretty good xP

[jagged cliff]

You know what, we dont need more balatro updates, just give me more balatro related stuff on fangamer 🗣️
Playing cards dlc packs with more jokers and contrasted cards 🗣️

[stone shell]

in a vacuum i think i would do midas red card

[fringe nebula]

i see

both of them benefit alot from rebate and midas, so i just felt like asking

[stone shell]

i think flash card would benefit more in general but my ass just likes red card more

im a simple person, 8 dollars for 6 mult

[vestal copper]

flash can have unlimited scaling tho ‼️

[keen pilot]

Rainbow card

[vestal copper]

gay card looks do good

[royal bobcat]

Yeah

I like how negative red card becomes golden card

[vestal copper]

red card is always the goat

[fringe crest]

this feels like every anaglyph run

all of my stuff didnt trigger

baseball card hit so fucking hard

[eternal minnow]

Guys

I think ive done it

Yes... Ive done it indeed

Everyone

Youve seen the cavendish

But now

The gros michel

[jagged cliff]

Is that a

[narrow scroll]

😭 😭 😭

[jagged cliff]

what i think it is

[eternal minnow]

The cavendish for reference

[jagged cliff]

this is so peak

[eternal minnow]

Oh shit i forgot to light the gros michel

[jagged cliff]

Enjoy your michel

[eternal minnow]

I am :3

Boutta open up balatro while i banana up

What kinda run should i do, deck/stake

[jagged dune]

Hmmm

[jagged cliff]

green deck green stake

get it?

cause green

[jagged cliff]

you get it

[jagged dune]

Blue deck blue stake

[eternal minnow]

Oh im gettin it

Nah green/green wins

[jagged dune]

Plasma deck plasma stake

[jagged cliff]

plasma stake!?

[jagged dune]

Fair

[lime remnant]

where is this luck when im running gold stake

[eternal minnow]

Non existent

[jagged dune]

PFFT

[eternal minnow]

Gold stake exists to hate you

[turbid dove]

Had my second best wee run

[lime remnant]

i lowkenuinely fumbled that run because i sold crafty to get greedy with the interest

[jagged dune]

I haven't played gold stake yet
Just beat orange stake some days ago

[jagged cliff]

youve got a nice looking wee

[jagged dune]

Finally got my hands on le erratic

[eternal minnow]

Enjoy the game while you still can

[jagged dune]

Imagine a deck only unlockable through beating gold stake

[turbid dove]

...

[elder blade]

duh I give up beating blue stack,switch to pokermon

[lime remnant]

i hate green deck gold stake so much

[jagged cliff]

That'd be a good idea, @ add it

gold deck only unlockable through beating gold stake

Gold deck, everything cost triple the original cost

[elder blade]

oh oh how can I report bug,if I skip for free card and pack in next round it will cost money if i out game and rejoin

[eternal minnow]

Aww man green is all the suck of black but none of the reward

[jagged dune]

It felt so good beating orange stake

Erratic deck is so fun

[eternal minnow]

The game begins

[lime remnant]

absolute feeling of small blind 0 cash out

[jagged cliff]

your elemental power is

green

[eternal minnow]

Not off to a good start, just played a discard hand

OH WAIT GREEN IS THIS FA DECK

[jagged cliff]

What's wrong with Green Deck

[eternal minnow]

I gotta lock in

[jagged cliff]

You got this, Green deck, Green stake, Green background, Greened out

[lime remnant]

if you dont have good joker/deckbuilding luck to oneshot your econ is thrown in the water

at least in my experience

since you dont have interest

[jagged dune]

Green deck, Green stake, Green background, with a Green joker and on the plant (a Green boss blind)

oh and an uncommon joker (because Green rarity)

[eternal minnow]

Ante 2 check in

[jagged cliff]

Reroll is also green, might gotta press it

[eternal minnow]

Ante 3 check in

[jagged cliff]

See this is easy

Greened out but locked in

[eternal minnow]

Oop

Do i do the funny

Or wait no

I just have both credit card and a buffaon pack

Oooo

@jagged cliff

[jagged cliff]

What's up

[eternal minnow]

Bleu print

[jagged cliff]

Wait a minute, is that my favorite joker in the game I see?!

Buhbuhbuhbuhbuhlueprint!

[trail swift]

was looking up challenges in the updated balatro records list and this one looked interesting (especially since no one had done it yet apparently)

[eternal minnow]

Ah but which to sell

[jagged cliff]

Do you really need the extra discard

[trail swift]

score reversal being more mult than chips on every hand

[eternal minnow]

No, i have it purely for econ 😂

[jagged cliff]

Pff

Sell the Discard card

[eternal minnow]

Aaand this is your regularly scheduled ante 5 check in

[jagged cliff]

Alr alr alr, looking steady

[gentle basalt]

What??

Why would you ever do that? How would you even have money

[stone shell]

wrong tag

i meant coupon

idt voucher can even appear in ante 1

[eternal minnow]

Ante 6 ( i took neg skip)

[gentle basalt]

Coupon tag is also argaubly not worth it

[analog epoch]

Photochad moment (I couldnt get showman)

[molten thicket]

only tag worth it esp in ante 1 is investment

[turbid dove]

What is your fav jonkler combo

Other than photochad

Mine is wee and hack

[lime remnant]

you only want coupon in late i think

[lime remnant]

dagger and egg 🤤

swash works too

[jagged cliff]

This one is also fine

[eternal minnow]

OOOOH DO I PIVOT

No...

[vestal copper]

also add ⏳

[eternal minnow]

Its too risky

[jagged cliff]

whats the pivot

[eternal minnow]

Flush...

My beloved

[jagged cliff]

It's always flush

Love flush

[mystic ledge]

what does it do?

[jagged cliff]

Those who know

[stone shell]

why would you skip for a free shop when you can afford everything

[jagged cliff]

One of the best joker combos

[eternal minnow]

Wtp??

[lime remnant]

endless i mean, you could have the necessary joker but not the voucher

[jagged cliff]

Id pick nothing here personally

[eternal minnow]

Incant it is

[lime remnant]

wraith and then get disappointed on obelisk

[eternal minnow]

Im obelisk prepared

Actually its prolly too late

[stone shell]

my message earlier was meant for coupon tag not voucher tag lol

just had a brain fart

[jagged cliff]

Probably is

[pale wolf]

only the first 10 oops matter

[jagged cliff]

Yea I forgot it doubles everytime

But I wasn't gonna take time deleting the rest

[stone shell]

wheel of fortune still nopes btw

[jagged cliff]

Like always

[eternal minnow]

I forgot to check in

[jagged cliff]

How dare you

[eternal minnow]

I forgot i had reroll, violet vessel will kill me

[jagged cliff]

Nooo!!!!

[eternal minnow]

I might have been able to save it too

[jagged cliff]

This is a sad day for greeners

[proven ember]

OH MY GOD

It's happening!

I will just kill obelisk atp

[lime remnant]

obemid

[proven ember]

2.4 on obe

[lime remnant]

something tells me that the moment you get glass it never breaks

[proven ember]

Vs 1 in 1000 banana

[rocky nest]

Dam, wassup michael

[proven ember]

Y know, I will kill banana

[lime remnant]

negative micheal never go extinct 🥹

[rocky nest]

Eternal pants first buffoon pack btw 🥹

[proven ember]

Bad choice

Ggs

[jagged cliff]

Yo you got a message I think

[lime remnant]

you never kill banana mane

[turbid nova]

Since I’ve been playing the challenges I’ve grown the hate the violet vessel a lot

[molten thicket]

why are you playing plasma deck like its a normal deck

[turbid nova]

There’s a lot of runs where I would have won with any other boss

[eternal minnow]

@jagged cliff i should have grabbed green joker for the lol

[jagged cliff]

Yurp, would've been fun

I'd say next green banana, try again

[night turret]

Different run, should I hex the club joker or just skip it

[lime remnant]

prolly familiar

[vestal copper]

is this peak

[cloud sinew]

Red card is higher

[vestal copper]

yeah

[jagged cliff]

Perishable Credit Card?? Yooo

[potent tree]

good morning balatronians

[balmy flame]

letss fucking go

i lost this run

[potent tree]

can we get much higher? (so high)

[balmy flame]

but it was fun as hell

[potent tree]

what level is your fullhouse

[balmy flame]

mine?

[potent tree]

yes

[balmy flame]

uhh

[rocky nest]

Holy shi
Youre still in here 🥹
I remember you from 4 months ago

[cloud sinew]

flush house is playable too

[balmy flame]

i have no clue, it was a run from yesterday

flush house was mid af

four of a kind was my best hand

i think it was four of a kind, full house, three of a kind, flush house from best to worst

[potent tree]

yeah you wanna max the amount of times trib activates

so 5 card hands are usually better

[balmy flame]

i probably could've won that one had I not gotten needle

[cloud sinew]

You get an extra 2x from playing 5 cards

[balmy flame]

indeed, but I was still more than 2x short of winning that one

[lime remnant]

it can go even higher with retrigger stuff too

[balmy flame]

it would've netted me about the same score if I played 5

[potent tree]

yeah they have a chad

[lime remnant]

bad luck on the buskin?

[lime remnant]

no not just chad

[balmy flame]

didnt get a sock that run

[lime remnant]

no glass either?

[balmy flame]

i would've fucked if I had a dusk maybe

[potent tree]

or dusk yea

dusk was how i was able to build a wee run last night

[lime remnant]

dusk: always there when you dont need it, never there when you need it

[potent tree]

no chad and no seltzer

[fringe nebula]

could've been the easiest win you can get

[balmy flame]

cavendish... yummy...

[potent tree]

rare matador gameplay

[balmy flame]

im doing a new save, trying to unlock everything

don't want to move on from red deck till ive gold staked it

[proven ember]

I was playing for the glass card, to get it to gold

[arctic hollow]

do i take brain? and if so what for

[night turret]

On faceless?

[fringe nebula]

with boots and bull, $70 at ante 7 is kinda low honestly

[jagged cliff]

Showman

[balmy flame]

lmao

brainstorm the showman, that's right!

[night turret]

Showman got another show at my shop

Time for him to leave

[balmy flame]

chad first shop, lets gooo#

[potent tree]

unless i am mistaken then dna goes

[lime remnant]

oh i didnt pay attention on deck

[low spire]

what goes

[arctic hollow]

i thought get rid of dna for brainstorm, to keep looking for another copy

[fringe nebula]

delay grat

[vestal copper]

im questioning this bp

[night turret]

So skip or hex anything

[potent tree]

you need the dna only by ante 24 or smth i think

[jagged cliff]

If youve got enough score without the DNA you can do that yeah

[vestal copper]

i mean runner might go

[tepid lava]

well shit thats ggs

[lime remnant]

skip

[low spire]

it’s working with ramen and it gets me about $11-$20 a hand

[fringe nebula]

you can probably pivot into glass card shenanigans

[proven ember]

Been rerollin

[jagged cliff]

Well hello

[vestal copper]

well

[vestal copper]

yeah thats what im doing

ill take it

[proven ember]

I did bad, I will just keep on glassin

[arctic hollow]

dna's been popping off red seal silvers n golds for a while now

[potent tree]

peter

the is here

[coral jacinth]

Genuinely how 😭

[vestal copper]

alr got wheel and a folied ticket

maybe decent

[tepid lava]

early perkeo copy death

[jagged cliff]

I see

[lime remnant]

extensive deck building

[arctic hollow]

bye bye dna

[jagged cliff]

[fringe nebula]

funny how foil is so much more valuable when you're doing glass/steel retrigger build

[lime remnant]

foil is good idk why people downplay it

[coral jacinth]

I’m very new to Balatro, can you explain please 😭

[lime remnant]

perkeo is a legendary joker that allows to make a negative copy of a random consumable every round

[low spire]

guys assist me

[tepid lava]

Perkeo is a legendary joker that allows you to make negative consumables

[coral jacinth]

Oh yeah! Ive used that guy

[low spire]

i’m thinking swash tbh

[tepid lava]

and brainstorm copies the leftmost joker

[coral jacinth]

Negative makes it not take up a consumable slot in practice, right?

[lime remnant]

how many is your swash

[low spire]

+12

[fringe nebula]

because chips isn't flashy

people usually have level 20+ on a hand and act like chips isn't necessary

[lime remnant]

yes so pair it with a copying joker and its good

[coral jacinth]

Hell yeah

[tepid lava]

yes and if you have brainstorm, it allows me to gain 2 negative consumables

[coral jacinth]

Damn!

[tepid lava]

which i used to copy death twice

and eventually eris

[night turret]

New run, this game thinks it’s so funny

[coral jacinth]

So how did you get all the other cards OUT of your deck?

[lime remnant]

swash then

[sleek valley]

This is almost exactly the same joker roster I had in the red stake run just before this.

[fringe nebula]

you have alot of time to deckfix

not to mention you're on abandoned which is huge already

having hallu and trading card is a dream start for a baron

[tepid lava]

hanged man destroys 2 cards in your deck

[vestal copper]

almost died duh

thank god its acorn now

[coral jacinth]

Oh okay!

[tepid lava]

so copy that and destroy the cards you dont need

it may seem overwhelming but thats the fun of balatro

you can build whatever deck fits your playstyle

[arctic hollow]

do i replace showman with showman? Dont want to ruin my run yk?

[tepid lava]

im hoping to get naneinf soon

[arctic hollow]

4th copy joker??

[lime remnant]

holy photochad twong

[arctic hollow]

drop showman for another brainstorm right?

[lime remnant]

i never find a photochad

[lime remnant]

sure

[jagged cliff]

Photochad 🗣️

[tepid lava]

yes

[tepid lava]

of course easiest combo in the game

[jagged cliff]

yurp

A win is a win yk

[lime remnant]

always a chad never a photo

[jagged cliff]

💔

[calm furnace]

i love venus 🥰 dont even care about deck bloat

[night turret]

So far I’m running this

[arctic hollow]

now to try and voucher farm

[night turret]

Also what the hell is the chance of not getting them negative

[formal steeple]

this was a good run lol

[night turret]

It just had to give me speed runner

Instead of idol for negative

[jagged cliff]

Alrrrr whats it gonna be today

[simple jacinth]

goodbye hallucination

[jagged cliff]

Howd you know

[simple jacinth]

I'm in your walls

[jagged cliff]

you uh, want some coffee?

[simple jacinth]

[vestal copper]

[formal steeple]

Managed to win two games yesterday, didn't stop playing until I won at least one

[lyric karma]

Where is your xmult

[jagged cliff]

Alright

[vestal copper]

[simple jacinth]

[formal steeple]

[low spire]

[jagged cliff]

Was hoping for perkeo since I wanted to try baronmime naneinf

but its not bad

[lyric karma]

Astronomer

[jagged cliff]

[vestal copper]

dgrat

[low spire]

astronomer is 1.8x

[vestal copper]

its not astronomer

[lyric karma]

It can grow bigger

[vestal copper]

its constellation bruh

[lyric karma]

no, like
sell something for astronomer

[low spire]

delayed is supposed to be working with ramen and green deck with the discard

i haven’t discarded once so i’ve been using delayed to get me about $11-$20 a round

[lyric karma]

to make cons grow up

[low spire]

ramen is still 2x

[tepid lava]

id say sell ramen tbh

you can still build constellation

[lyric karma]

yea

[arctic hollow]

DNA came back

sell brainstorm for invis?

[tepid lava]

whats your build

i need to see all your jokers

[low spire]

ramen does make sense

[lyric karma]

bro wants to do a move so bad even got chess analysis

[jagged cliff]

Who needs delayed tho

[arctic hollow]

In this order

Baron, Mime, negative golden ticket, negative sock and bustin, negative blueprint and 3 brainstorm

[low spire]

ME

IT GETTING ME BANDS

[lyric karma]

Them

[low spire]

$11-$20 A ROUND

[jagged cliff]

Its just some money

[tepid lava]

oh thats why you were thinking brainstorm but tbh your setup is fine atm

[low spire]

money i can use to roll

[arctic hollow]

I just got retcon which feels nice, currently scoring E26

[jagged cliff]

ohmy some freeco??

Maybe you need this one instead of delayed

[arctic hollow]

and theres the blank voucher peak

[low spire]

gulp

shit

[night turret]

Yippe

[low spire]

?????

how did you get

so many negatives

[coral jacinth]

Sheer aura alone

[lyric karma]

Negative skip ig

[jagged cliff]

Gosh

[night turret]

Would you believe me if I said 5 of them were naturally generated

[low spire]

no

[night turret]

Well I think 4 were

[brisk bluff]

💀

[fringe nebula]

10 winstreak on magic deck

[lyric karma]

Turn those into glass or steel

[arctic hollow]

Man i need more hand size

[glad smelt]

Is there any better scaling than wee + red card?

In whole balatro

[fringe nebula]

blue seal

[lyric karma]

the unsuspicious holographic juggler at the big blind shop: 🦸‍♂️

[arctic hollow]

I need me that negative

[jagged cliff]

Tribe and Justice coming in clutch here

[arctic hollow]

Taking 2 ectos is probably a bad idea right? If 99% of my score comes from kings in hand

[lyric karma]

totally

[low spire]

ZEUS!!!

GIVE ME A NEGATIVE CARD

AND MY LIFE

IS YOURS

[lyric karma]

Take a voucher tag and pray for paintbrush

[arctic hollow]

i dont think i beat ante 18

[vestal copper]

alr so a lucky card just gave me 20 bucks when it couldve given me mult and i died cuz of that

trolled

[lyric karma]

at least you died rich

[tepid lava]

DOUBLE TRIB ON ANTE 4

[vestal copper]

trulu

[low spire]

ZEUS I LIED GIVE ME PARADOLIA

[tepid lava]

DID HE GET ROFFLE'S STREAMER LUCK OR SMTH

[vestal copper]

curse of the canio

[arctic hollow]

holy moly i got to ante 19

[lyric karma]

riffles luck is a myth

[low spire]

i’ve only touched e scores once

[lyric karma]

he believed so hard the game generated 2 tribs

[hearty flume]

helooo, whats the best order for bp is it baron or mime?

[arctic hollow]

Fuuuuu im only hitting e28

[arctic hollow]

let blueprint touch baron, then swap right after it scores the high card so mime activates on your golds

[thorn dew]

Just naneinfed with bean bug and mary andrew

[fringe nebula]

3 baron 1 mime
once you get brainstorm, 3 baron 2 mime

[thorn dew]

+juggle tag

[low spire]

HE LISTENED

[arctic hollow]

Dead at ante 19

[hearty flume]

ok så bp bp baron mime?

[cloud sinew]

chad doesnt change anything about what I said. chad photo trib means going from 4 card to 5 card is 2x because chad triggers twice the same

[hearty flume]

didnt know you could swap mid tallying the score thaught it counted what it was when you finished the hand

[arctic hollow]

its only for getting the gold cards/blue seals the extra procs

[cloud sinew]

The jokers activate at different stages

mime retriggers golds and blue seals after scoring

[low spire]

nvm

[hearty flume]

ahh ok now I get it

[lyric karma]

I believe

believe

[hearty flume]

I only have red seal steel kings now and like 3 blue so well see how it goes lol

[brisk bluff]

Is it worth

[lyric karma]

Mmmm

[jagged cliff]

👋

[austere whale]

I guess we win

[tepid lava]

How many cards you genersted with dna

[tepid lava]

[woven spire]

[fringe nebula]
