[maiden peak]

I do have a single polychrome 10

[frank grove]

how many sixes do you have?

[maiden peak]

3

[fringe nebula]

def sixth sense

[frank grove]

yeah

[fringe nebula]

almost like blue stake never existed

[maiden peak]

Low key thinking Chad for the chance of getting dejavu

And I think Sixth sense works with brainstorm

[frank grove]

it doesnt

[maiden peak]

Whaaaa

Crazy

[frank grove]

it makes sense since it destroys cards

you cant copy trading card either

[maiden peak]

Sold chad and used strength to get 2 extra sixes
Got 3 auras in a row💀

[glad smelt]

Flower pot gotta become common card

It’s soo bad

And just make a photo fucking uncommon

[knotty zodiac]

chad uncommon

[fringe nebula]

you know what

let's sell both fools

[proper pollen]

bro imagine trying to play with one discard couldnt be me

[glad smelt]

Also

[proper pollen]

madness!

[glad smelt]

That’s just…. Madness

I’d lowkey love 0.4-0.5 obelisk, would be fun to play

[gentle basalt]

????
Obelisk is already quite strong??

You want to buff one of the strongest jokers?

[unique pecan]

Didnt someone said that blue stake is gonna be changed in the update

Or did i made that up

[frank grove]

it is getting reworked yes

[unique pecan]

😮

[fringe nebula]

funny how i can just.... do so many goofy things when i'm not doing winstreak

[green meteor]

Use them, then sell them

[glad smelt]

I need to buy Balatro on both phone and pc to play from both right?

[knotty zodiac]

round 1 shop. fool is set to none

[eternal pumice]

[knotty zodiac]

🍌

[glad smelt]

Banana got saved

By Mr bones

[green meteor]

Missed out on a golden opportunity

[sacred maple]

Oh come on I was two points away from beating the boss blind in one hand

[primal olive]

ts kinda crazy tho, early baron and dna

[primal olive]

natural neg ramen?

do i just buy the showman

incase for a blueprint

[sacred maple]

No, it got negative through neg tag.

[primal olive]

oh wait i didn't win anything so no blueprint

😭

is the showman just too early

[sacred maple]

Though I gotta say it was quite good because shortly after I found baseball card.

[primal olive]

or just take it

[sacred maple]

easy win orange stake beaten

[honest latch]

i didnt even know you could do this with debug mode

[vestal copper]

huh

[slender mauve]

first gold stake, kinda mad

[knotty zodiac]

cryptid time

[vestal copper]

cr*ptid

[fringe nebula]

flash card, vampire, and license

all three of them benefits alot from midas mask

[zenith pumice]

thats a really cool combo

[exotic silo]

Okay, Dagger scales very fast I like it

(I lost because I accidentally chopped off the blue joker at one point)

10/10 would play ceremonial dagger again

[fervent wolf]

I am the goat

[honest latch]

is this enough to naneinf

[random lark]

ante 4???

[honest latch]

just got lucky

[unique pecan]

🥶

[random lark]

any mime?

[honest latch]

oh shit i need that dont i

[random lark]

prolly

[honest latch]

meh next round maybe

e143

not even naneinf

[fringe nebula]

weakest ante 1 vagabond run

[honest latch]

every time i do a hand it takes like 30 seconds

[fringe nebula]

i-

should i do the safe play or should i take trading card

you know what who cares about winstreak

[white anvil]

NOOOOOOO

[marsh dove]

i just bottom decked 7 out of 8 tens in a deck

that might be the most atrocious bottom deck ive ever had

i also bottom decked 4 out of 4 steel

i drew the first 10 in the first hand so i had 11 outs in my deck from there, and they were all in the bottom 45% of my deck

0.036%
💀

[honest latch]

this might be enough this time

[lyric karma]

Thats jolly wdym

Also

i need someone to try out that seed for me

[lyric karma]

Thats a massive win actually

disables suit-debuff boss blinds

[honest latch]

how much do you have to do for naneinf

[naive bone]

Isn’t it like

308

[honest latch]

308

okay noted

[naive bone]

Had this run before I forgot that too many ectos give you a negative hand size

[lyric karma]

really?

[shell dagger]

Assuming this is trib dusk, you would’ve naneinfed if you played flush 5

[lyric karma]

Negatives do that?

[naive bone]

Yeah

[shell dagger]

Ectos do that

Not negatives

[naive bone]

Every ectoplasm gives -1 hand size and it stacks

[lyric karma]

yea mb

[lyric karma]

And what happens when you get negative hand size?

[white anvil]

you die

[naive bone]

Instant loss when you select the blind

[lyric karma]

oh

[mortal nimbus]

Having 0 cards in hand means you lose, having 0 hand size means you can’t draw cards.

If you had cards before hitting 0 hand size, you will be fine until you next run out of cards, either this blind (if ecto’ing mid round) or the next (instant loss)

[naive bone]

I did it whilst in the shop

[primal olive]

why so many aces tf

[lyric karma]

scholar value

[naive bone]

I used cryptid on the foil ace before endless so I kinda just ran with it

[manic vault]

what are some examples of good chip jokers

[primal olive]

oh

scholar

[lyric karma]

Wee

[naive bone]

Wee and hack are a match made in heaven

Can never seem to get them in time though

[vestal copper]

stuntman bp

[median nova]

Do i take the idol gamble or play for consistency with the club joker

[lyric karma]

Odd todd

[vestal copper]

you are on black so prob the clubber

[lyric karma]

arrowhead

hiker

[naive bone]

Probably the club

[median nova]

Damn 😔

[naive bone]

If your levels aren’t high enough then the idol won’t really do much

[lyric karma]

and if you didnt fixed your deck

[vestal copper]

it couldve been silly but its orange black deck

not the time for the sillies 😔

[fringe nebula]

never punished

[brisk bluff]

Wee joker is cracked

[fringe nebula]

wee joker scales really fast

yeah

[lyric karma]

your wee grew up so much

👀

[random lark]

no +mult joker, was the wee that big?

[lofty vault]

Balatro

[fringe nebula]

the mult comes from glass

probably

hack glass

[lofty vault]

Level 1 high card with a single retrigger with glass goes crazy

So much mult

[lofty vault]

Actually no retriggers let's not get crazy

[vestal copper]

4 ‼️ mult

[lyric karma]

4 mult is crazy

is like

[lofty vault]

That 4 mult could be the difference between 10 score and 40 score

[brisk bluff]

I was using 5oak levels

[vestal copper]

if you got 4 mult you basically already won

[brazen jolt]

I Just had the worst luck ever. I had blueprint and brainstorm copying bloodstone together with dusk. I played a heart flush and i only got x1.5 like 5 times

[lyric karma]

fih

[vestal copper]

yeah thats the average bloodstone moment

[cursive crater]

common bloodstone L

[lofty vault]

More triggers than usual you should count yourself lucky

[worthy tinsel]

Normal gameplay

[lofty vault]

5 entire triggers

[lyric karma]

you shouldve knew better bro

[brazen jolt]

btw, the blind before this i reached 50 million this way. Now i reached 90k....good joker

[lofty vault]

That's like 1.5⁵ mult

Which I'm not good at math so I have 0 idea how good that is

[cursive crater]

bloodstone is the potential man of balatro

[lofty vault]

Sounds ok

[worthy tinsel]

Yeah a classic bloodstone moment

[lofty vault]

The humble space man

[brazen jolt]

bloodstone without oops is too sketchy

[vestal copper]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1008707962249941102.png?size=48&name=true~1&lossless=true

[lofty vault]

Blood stone is not a man it is a gemstone

[vestal copper]

blood stone is not a gem its a piece of useless shit

[cursive crater]

✅

[lofty vault]

It might have bits of people inside the gem but it's not people

It takes the soul of everyone who takes it then loses because of it

[cursive crater]

always "if" but never "is"

[simple jacinth]

how do you think bloodstone feels when it misses

[lofty vault]

It gives a lil chuckle

[worthy tinsel]

I still remember this run ,I won it but it was pain

[lofty vault]

The fuck you mean color level 27

[cursive crater]

eternal showman is mental

[vestal copper]

average bloodstone fan: please over 0 retriggers please sun pls pls pls oa6
average aj fan: oh hey, you drew a flush! take your win there

[lofty vault]

The gambler

[vestal copper]

not even rental

[lofty vault]

Ancient is fun

Ancient without deck building is interesting

[lofty vault]

Cuz you have an equal chance at drawing whatever suit you need

But you have a higher chance of drawing random bullshit

[vestal copper]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1008707962249941102.png?size=48&name=true~1&lossless=true

[lofty vault]

Just gotta pray to them

[lofty vault]

If I make another one of these hypothetically within the day which one should I make

I'm thinking fib cuz I have no fucking idea how to make it

[worthy tinsel]

Third gold sticker on showman was funny

[vocal rose]

lobotomy

[static fern]

You know the run is gonna be fire when it starts like this.

[lofty vault]

Ok the rare skip is a lil ehhhh

[sacred maple]

You're my favorite joker

[lyric karma]

Imagine winning the first run on a new profile

[vestal copper]

the tribe

[midnight talon]

you made these?

[fervent wolf]

Aye, appreciate it!

[midnight talon]

watch bro get the dou

[lofty vault]

There's a chance

[static fern]

[vestal copper]

[midnight talon]

[static fern]

[lofty vault]

How many times do I have to say this NO FIRE THEY ARE FLAMMABLE

[vestal copper]

oh

[static fern]

duo it’s like Way better than anything

Wee joker it’s so bad

lwk

[lofty vault]

Clearly someone doesn't know peak jokers

[vestal copper]

wee is a tier at least

[lofty vault]

Probably the best chip joker in the entire game

[midnight talon]

https://giphy.com/gifs/flightreacts-alextekah-roloroll-yasK38fdvOi6IR1gbn

[static fern]

i lwk was hopping for A Blueprint

[lyric karma]

oops and bloodstone

yay

[lofty vault]

Bloodstone came first then people kept asking for oops

No one asked for Fibonacci tho I'm just making it cuz JoJo

[fringe nebula]

this pairslop observatory build can oneshot vessel

i mean, how am i supposed to lose with this

[tacit stream]

blueseal spam + 2 strong Xmult 🔥

[fringe nebula]

+observatory

[vocal rose]

this is like the easiest win

only thing im missing is econ

[unreal topaz]

you gotta be magic deck's #1 fan, and i respect it

[unreal topaz]

that red gold card definitely counts

[vocal rose]

I got the econ

[rugged bloom]

Chat hear me out, and let me know if I'm alone on this one

[unreal topaz]

fair enough

[vocal rose]

just need x mult

im doing a nebula streak rn

[rugged bloom]

When I watch naneinf runs, the sound effects are satisfying af right

[lofty vault]

Chat how's the joker set up

[rugged bloom]

But I like the sound effect most when the gameplay is on x4 speed and the video is in X2 spee

[rugged bloom]

You're on something for sure

[cursive crater]

now do hack

[lofty vault]

Pain meds mostly

[rugged bloom]

Need

On a serious note though did you make these?

[lofty vault]

Yeah

[flat warren]

DONT FUCK THIS UP BIG DAWG

[lofty vault]

No queens or kings upon thee

Good swash value tho

20 mult

[flat warren]

Truth. Literally first arcane pack had trib, that’s a first for me 😂

[fringe nebula]

ALWAYS BELIEVE IN HALLUCINATION 🗣️

[lofty vault]

@fringe nebula rate the joker build

[sacred maple]

Dude I just had such a fuck you moment
I see rental gros michel, expect it to go extinct in one round, it did, but it still took three dollars from me.

[fringe nebula]

what build

[lofty vault]

Id say it's functional

[fringe nebula]

6/10

i would give it 8/10 if one of them is foil

[lofty vault]

Thank you weather app for saying it's going to rain after it started raining

[lofty vault]

What would make the build better

[fringe nebula]

like i said, if one of the jokers is foil

i would give it 8/10

[lofty vault]

8/20

[lofty vault]

But what joker should I add

[fringe nebula]

dusk

[lofty vault]

Dusk

Average club role at it again

[eager summit]

lusty

i like having both at the same time

more stim sound

[lofty vault]

Wilds with lust, greed, glutton and wrath with bloodstone fr fr

[brazen jolt]

i refuse to believe bloodstone chance is actually 1 in 2

its more like 1 in 4

[vestal copper]

feels like a 1 in 3 for sure

[vocal rose]

it used to be

[vestal copper]

so the worst uncommon used to be even worse?

[lofty vault]

What joker is most likely to secretly be a furry

[vocal rose]

oh okay

[vocal rose]

showman is worse

but yes it used to be that bad

[vestal copper]

showman is not that bad

[vocal rose]

lol

[lyric karma]

midas mask

[vestal copper]

he can be used to dig up a new bp and bs deep in endless runs

but if we count non-endless (the actual game) then yeah your prob right

[vocal rose]

well the discussion here should be always considered ante 8

as endless isn't the focus of the game with no balancing

non endless hes horrible

[vestal copper]

yeah

endless is just a different game

most of shitty cards suddenly become good

[latent egret]

wasn’t it x2

[vocal rose]

yeah

[latent egret]

which makes it still be worse

[calm sapphire]

the worst uncommon is also the worst joker in the game, idol

[vestal copper]

you are not wrong

[latent egret]

showman worse

idol is temp value and very unreliable scoring

showman is detrimental

to most gold stake runs

[sage blaze]

bruhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[lyric karma]

What happened to your saturation dude

[paper birch]

Yo guys i think i greeded green joker enough 🥹

[sage bough]

What should I buy here

[spring lion]

Any good videos I should watch please @ me show I will see it I’m going to bed

[mortal hill]

Chat I haven't been here in many months, post your silliest games. I'll start

[flat warren]

What do I do here

[latent egret]

enjoy the 2 trib runs

no need to switch, its basically too late to naneinf

try to find s&b and go ante 20 probably

[flat warren]

Just got blueprint too 😂 copy trib obviously?

[latent egret]

no copy chad id say

[foggy pond]

Hello. I have one question. What for is blank voucher when I unlocked Antimatter?

Thx for answer

[narrow scroll]

not too silly, but this is a recent silly run i got
i call it a marathon

[latent egret]

have you gotten a two tier voucher once

like handy/nacho tong

[fringe nebula]

you need to take blank before getting antimatter

[narrow scroll]

you need blank voucher to have antimatter appear in shop

[light brook]

looks inside
fuck

also i record my runs so i can play them back and improve thats why i have video

[flat warren]

Just found s&b. Drop photo?

[lyric karma]

Wait a sec thats not balala

[sage bough]

I think you're mistaken

It clearly is

[lyric karma]

Hmmm

Yea youre right i checked again

mb

[sage bough]

Happens

[latent egret]

yes

you need to deckfix for perfect draws

and play luckies

and copy sock

[lyric karma]

what if we find the other half of half joker?

[light brook]

tape bro together

[brave goblet]

it's cavendish

if you know what I mean

[lyric karma]

sincerely i dont get it

[brave goblet]

Then I will not explain

Surely someone will get it

[lyric karma]

i want the explanation still

please

[brave goblet]

Cavendish is the bottom half of half joker

[light brook]

ohh i get it

[lyric karma]

ohhhhhhh

[light brook]

||is it referring to the new joker art||

[lyric karma]

😭

[brave goblet]

No it's just a dirty joke

[lyric karma]

thats worse

[light brook]

weiner joker

[brave goblet]

What would Sausage joker do?

[light brook]

[lyric karma]

[light brook]

[light brook]

[lyric karma]

Pray

[lofty vault]

Balatro but there's no twist it's just balatro

[midnight talon]

i lost

[brave goblet]

do you guys pronounce balatro the way doc says it or the way bean says it

[lyric karma]

you didnt believe in your cards

[lyric karma]

i uhhh

[midnight talon]

my cards failed me

if they stayed as two pair i would have won

[lyric karma]

you were the one who failed the cards

[foggy pond]

Thx

[midnight talon]

the failed me

they didnt make twopairslop

[brave goblet]

there was a free win button right there (the options to main menu button)

[lyric karma]

Man i hate that everytime i double tap a message by mistake ends up with a 🇮 as reaction

like who the hell invented that

[brave goblet]

just react enough so that that's not your default reaction anymore

[light sail]

I don't know which Joker I trade, I'm making 3 and a half million points with this build.

[spring lion]

Iirc you have to change it manually

[lyric karma]

figured

[rugged bloom]

Torturous AF

[lyric karma]

Maybe sock

[light sail]

I buy blueprint and copy what?

[drifting gorge]

chicot if you're feeling lucky, yorick if you're not feeling lucky

[drifting gorge]

wdym? this is clearly now a wee joker run

just scale the chips a ton and it's only white stake plasma deck

[rugged bloom]

chat for naneinf can we take heiroglyph?

[static fern]

scary face, you can still earn enough Mult with Blueprint Photograph,

[light sail]

Ok

[static fern]

furthermore

it is common

so you can easily get it back

also

i have noticed

is it the run seeded

or nonseeded

[spring lion]

How do I get good

[lyric karma]

Yorick ig

unless you want retriggers

Then copy chad

[lyric karma]

chicot can be copied?

[lyric karma]

Win

[spring lion]

Yeah but like I’ve only beaten ante 8 once

[lyric karma]

beat it more

Ok but seriously now

what you usually want on a run is chips, mult and (ocassionally) xmult

have a balance between those and you will be fine

unless you are playing on plasma

then go all chips

[terse vale]

I hope I dont see anything stupid

[lyric karma]

sorry the expert came

[terse vale]

and chicot cannot be copied no

[lyric karma]

theyll tell you from now

[spring lion]

So far this has been my best run yet

[terse vale]

I mean I’ve been seeing a lot of stupid things lately cus none of the people who R usually here are here and it gets tiring seeing people say trib is the best legendary joker

[lyric karma]

Oh

i thought you were saying that im wrong

[spring lion]

Aside from few I won’t say no joker is the best it all depends on what you are going for

[lyric karma]

mmmm

[solemn sonnet]

god blue stake is so miserable i've already gone through 10 attempts and all dead because of no cash and not being able to draw any good hands

might as well just start going for pairs

[terse vale]

well i’m saying generally the best

and most consistent

[lyric karma]

dont go for pairs until ante 3 or when you have it lvl 3

unless you get the bus

or grimbo

and/or early telescope

[spring lion]

Just saying if I ever ask for help in here I would like an explanation as to why I should go for that choice

[lyric karma]

oh

[terse vale]

ya!

don’t forget never to crop this goes for everyone ! here!

[spring lion]

I do think it is reasonable to know why to learn how to make decisions for myself as I get better

[proud garden]

keep watching the pros play

improve by osmosis

[terse vale]

(not roffle)

basically just doc and supershock

[lyric karma]

the pros play in question: use hex on a baron mime build to get polychrome egg

[flat warren]

FUCK I FORGOT TO REROLL PLANT

[terse vale]

I mean focus shock

[flat warren]

that was about to be my best unseeded game and I messed it up 😢

[terse vale]

aorry

https://youtube.com/@focussh0ck?si=PWxjNIYvVvgqqW9g

pretty good

[spring lion]

I’m assuming when you say doc you mean this channel right?

https://youtube.com/@drspectred?si=HQiPPHiUoBGg9A-N

can we stop arguing over a username that's just so childish

[timber nymph]

Hi all. I need opinions on whether I should sell something for the invisible here or stick with the lineup here? Got about 10 polychrome red seal glass kings so plenty of cards to use with whatever choice. Can also take the voucher to lower the scoring pressure so fairly confident I can pop it with plenty of time to spare. Not sure which has the higher scoring potential?

[midnight talon]

look at his name

[lyric karma]

If you need discards then no

Dont grab the voucher

[solemn sonnet]

im doing a flush build so its kinda obvious

[lyric karma]

technically no since i didnt knew that but ok

[solemn sonnet]

i took a rare joker skip tag in the beginning already expecting to see like hit the road or something but i got ancient joker

so i have this that just scores like 10m average

[lyric karma]

Pivot to flush 5 of kings

Trust

[lyric karma]

why you want to fight so bad

[upbeat burrow]

Holy shit finally a gold stake black deck win

This god forsaken deck is garbage

[lyric karma]

congratulations

🥳

[upbeat burrow]

Thank god I was lucky and got anti matter before ante 6

[lyric karma]

if you get grabber it stops being garbage imo

[upbeat burrow]

Yeah but it didn't appear

Thank god I got an early trousers

another page 1 gold sticker

nat negative throwback the goat lowk

[calm furnace]

cant someone explain to me why abandoned is considered a top tier deck when abandoned's strengthes dont really help with the pairslop meta?

its def one of the strongest decks in the game for non pair builds. easily the best for straights

[terse vale]

deckbuilding at all is crazy

and makes straights more consistent

which opens up a lot of options

[versed sable]

less cards means it's easier to draw your good cards, whether that's blue, gold, steel, glass..
and it does get you more possible hand variety, it's a lot more possible to do other hands

[calm furnace]

yeah but the meta for consistent wins dont depend on deck fixing

[versed sable]

i'm not an Abandoned expert at all though

[terse vale]

less cards to see more cards you WANT to see

[latent egret]

makes any value gen card dependent so much better

[calm furnace]

its great for getting the best out of rebate

[terse vale]

well just because its not pairs doesn’t mean its not good
straights would be the 2nd best hand if they were consistent

and on abandoned they are

widens the options and stuff

[calm furnace]

yeah i realize that, it has a lot of advantages

but it also suffers from a weaker early game

[vestal copper]

what the fuck

[versed sable]

starter pack shop

[vestal copper]

a natural roll btw

[serene forge]

I hate Pareidolia

[tardy birch]

my first crazy run came from a midas mask vampire pariadolia

i know it’s bad but i will not hear any slander

[vestal copper]

pairslop central

why did i still not unlock palette

[tardy birch]

negative shortcut pulling weight

[serene forge]

parei completely unnecessary there

[vestal copper]

its a challenge deck so lmao

[tardy birch]

OH my bad i’m slow

[serene forge]

probably because it's challenge deck

[vestal copper]

i died lmfao

silly but worth it

[tardy birch]

???

[serene forge]

parei completely unnecessary there

[tardy birch]

since it wasn’t very strong at first i could play low cards and have more scaling hands for my vamp

[rugged bloom]

Should I take the Immolate or should I take the Immolate?

[versed sable]

"it helps but isn't strictly necessary" applies to a lot of the situations where you'd use paréidolie which is why i personally don't like it much, but it's certainly not useless

[versed sable]

good options
probably immolate but there's an argument to be made against it

[tardy birch]

i’ve seen enough ankh the blueprint

[rugged bloom]

Actually

You might not have even been wrong

But I had no scoring tech

[versed sable]

with blueprint brainstorm already, and a showman, i would never ankh xd

[tardy birch]

i know i was joking 🥀

[versed sable]

maybe if there's a baron in the shop

[tardy birch]

ankhing is suicide

[versed sable]

if there's a shop baron there's a chance it's worth

hmm

idk

[tardy birch]

i GOTTA start paying attention to the deck when people send screenshots

[eager bluff]

I like half joker, gros michael, green joker, stop the bus, trousers, square joker

[rugged bloom]

Having to depend on Mime Red Seal Steel for scoring 🥀

[eager bluff]

Dont sleep on pop corn or ice cream i used to pass on those

[tawny ridge]

gg

[versed sable]

rebate, trading card, burnt, riffraff, abstract, fist, michel.. hard to pick, it kinda depends on situation

[eager bluff]

Yeah cant really list those all

[tardy birch]

pog baron pog ⁉️

[eager bluff]

I will look for eco jokers and flat mult one to survive first few antes

Thats my rule of thumb

[versed sable]

rebate is insane money but 0 scoring and isn't as good for money if you need to draw good hand
TC is amazing value if you can afford to use a discard on it
burnt is pair gaming usually
riffraff is free scoring and/or money and/or sell value, sometimes it feels too inconsistent but sometimes it's awesome
abstract, fist, and michel are all just solid scoring with very little that you have to do to activate it (all with small downsides but easier to work around than most)

[rugged bloom]

Soon

Hope I get it soon

[versed sable]

other thing, curious if anyone else disagrees,
on white stake plasma for "get past ante 8" i'd put Runner #3, Castle #2, Wee #1

[eager bluff]

Stuntman first?

[versed sable]

(bull not in the list because sometimes you need to spend and it just murders you for it, but it's good)

[eager bluff]

Stuntman,wee, and square

[tardy birch]

dorkshire tea #2

[versed sable]

i like getting more cards in hand, and it only goes up to 250 chips and keeps giving you the downside when other jokers wouldn't

[versed sable]

square is too slow imo

for plasma

[eager bluff]

We play pair anyway :))

[cursive crater]

[eager bluff]

But true

[midnight talon]

who is "we" bruh

[versed sable]

in order to get ~250 you need 62 hands which is
unreasonable

[cursive crater]

guys i lowkey forgot to update my drivers for a little while

[midnight talon]

i plau flush so count me out

[vague ferry]

Hi

[cursive crater]

last time i updated was uh

[heavy heron]

stone joker is a consideration

[versed sable]

only 17 straights

[cursive crater]

september 2025

damn

[eager bluff]

Pair supremacy

[versed sable]

i don't normally get that many stone cards
and marble would add too much junk

[eager bluff]

:))

[midnight talon]

im a flush player so count me out

[heavy heron]

on plasma white it doesn’t matter if you add junk

[midnight talon]

i play non other then checkerd deck

[heavy heron]

the stone cards from marble itself are chips

so high card stone + stone joker

is more than enough to beat plasma

[midnight talon]

stone flush

[heavy heron]

but also you don’t need marble for stone joker to work

[midnight talon]

with high card lvl 15

so goated

[heavy heron]

me too :)

[midnight talon]

and some polychromes and holographics

[midnight talon]

my brother

[heavy heron]

look at me go

[midnight talon]

planet x?

[versed sable]

i'm assuming you wanna see
continue the run

[brazen pebble]

What do i do i have mostly king cards red coin

[heavy heron]

five of a kind

[midnight talon]

isnt that for like five of a kind

[heavy heron]

i thought the goal was to beat ante 8

that’s what you said right

[heavy heron]

yup!

[heavy heron]

YOOOOOO

HIGH CARD PLAYER

[slim swift]

New personal best. One step closer to naneinf

[heavy heron]

oh wait

you go endless?

[versed sable]

kinda
that's what i said but i intended to be "pivot into something better to continue past ante 8"

[heavy heron]

i’m guessing you go endless a lot

[heavy heron]

oh ok then yea marble/stone sucks

[versed sable]

this is my current run yeah

[slim swift]

If I had antimatter and an extra copy of blueprint, I would've cleared ante 24

[heavy heron]

wair so can i see your top jokers picked

that’ll give me more perspective

[heavy heron]

because my planets and jokers are strictly ante 8

[versed sable]

[heavy heron]

OK endless

LOOLLL

[versed sable]

lmao

[heavy heron]

understood

[versed sable]

parking is making a comeback

[slim swift]

Photochad reigns eternal

[vague ferry]

Is there any news of the next update ?

[eager bluff]

No :(((

Still waiting for blue stake to be gone

[slim swift]

frick blue stake, all my homies hate blue stake

My current Paperback+Cryptid run is going bonkers

[eager bluff]

Avg pair enjoyer

[versed sable]

@heavy heron I do still have c++ but i also have played 18000 high cards, made it to ante 39, and have a money record of $292k
qwq

[slim swift]

Grimbo 😄

[heavy heron]

yeah i’ve played 14000 high cards funnily enough

so we’re kinda close there

[eager bluff]

I like him :)) my pal

[heavy heron]

but nah my record money is like $500 LOOLLL

[slim swift]

goated on ghost deck

[versed sable]

:3c

[heavy heron]

i can’t remember going endless ever

[versed sable]

bean my beloved

[heavy heron]

OOPS..

[eager bluff]

Feed Grimbo everyday

[slim swift]

bean among the best food jokers

[versed sable]

earlier in run !!
funny

[slim swift]

I lied, Bean #1 food joker

#2 Cavendish

[heavy heron]

holy easiest crimson bean bug of your life

DAMN WITH BEAN BUG YOU COULD TAKE LIKE 6 ECTOS

NOW THAY I THIBK ABOIT IT

[versed sable]

still only got it 5 times that ante iirc

[terse imp]

Is bloodstone good

[heavy heron]

no

not on its own

[eager bluff]

Only with opps all 6

[heavy heron]

it’s unreliable

[versed sable]

I've taken 8 I think

[heavy heron]

and you can do everything right w it and still die

because the joker itself comes down to luck

[heavy heron]

nice

[eager bluff]

1 in 2 my arsh

[midnight talon]

🔥

[versed sable]

rolled to $100 rerolls every shop and still no relevant nat negatives :(

[heavy heron]

i think they forgot to include the 0s behind the 2

1 in 20000

[rugged bloom]

Why does Negative Gros Michel aura-farm so much?

[terse imp]

Is chicot bugger

[heavy heron]

well finding relevant nat negs isn’t exactly smth that happens a lot 😭

no matter how many rerolls you do

LOOLLLL

[versed sable]

my previous money run had negative parking and dice

[heavy heron]

WELL THAT DONT HAPPEN A LOT

[versed sable]

i knowww

[midnight talon]

all i know is new banana card

[versed sable]

but when i'm spending $5000 a shop i'd hope for something

[midnight talon]

lwk need it

[heavy heron]

shame on you for thinking rerolling would give you something good!

[drifting gorge]

5000?!?!?!

[versed sable]

yes

[midnight talon]

it does

it gave me blueprint once

[versed sable]

rolling 1-100 every time is $5050

[midnight talon]

and one time a baron

[versed sable]

assuming you buy nothing

[heavy heron]

wow

rerolling gave you a blueprint 😍

don’t happen so often!

[sullen aspen]

jokerless is genuinely fun

[heavy heron]

it’s okay next time just take the negative skips duh

guaranteed negatives!

[sullen aspen]

straights still eating good

[midnight talon]

love the sarcasim mate

[heavy heron]

straights is best for jokerless

easilyyy

or maybe 4oak but

straights easier to start with

[sullen aspen]

I agree

u can deck thin easily

unfortunately i hit brick walls with standard packs and glass cards

[versed sable]

problem is i'm making tens of thousands $ every round qwq

[heavy heron]

okay but what’s more important… $10000 or a guaranteed neg!!!!!

that negative blueprint is always just around the corner!!

[versed sable]

my sanity which is lost either way

[heavy heron]

LOOLLLL

[heavy heron]

that was a sealed deal when you turned on balatro

also wtf did you just send

I SEE THAT

[versed sable]

oh I can't sticker

[heavy heron]

WHA LT IS RHAT??

[versed sable]

:(

[heavy heron]

LOOLDKFJFIF

i’m like im seeing smth for half a second

[versed sable]

i can't send my "fern dead" sticker

scam

[heavy heron]

you have a sticker of your own dead body

that’s scary

[strange compass]

Why did my Temperance go down?

[heavy heron]

because

you took

clearance sale

[versed sable]

listen i have friends that draw for me occasionally qwq

[heavy heron]

which decreases the sell value of your jokers too

[versed sable]

fair enough

[strange compass]

OH MY GOD 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I didn't know that

[heavy heron]

LOOLLLLLL

ITS PRETTY STUPID

[heavy heron]

they’re sweet for that

esp the fact they draw a dead version of you

so sweet

[strange compass]

Why does that make YOUR jokers less value bruh

[heavy heron]

yeah it really makes no sense

[sullen aspen]

why would It not

[heavy heron]

because you bought them for full price

[sullen aspen]

its a card game

[heavy heron]

that’s debatable… i call it a gambling game

[sullen aspen]

u dont always get the best deal

[strange compass]

Also won plasma gold stake in the funniest way possible

2 Legends in ante 3

[wicked mango]

I hate this game. Getting 100% is impossible. I've had the same solitary joker left to gold stake for more than a month and I haven't seen it once

[strange compass]

Still stupid

[rotund igloo]

Which joker?

[strange compass]

The game should tell you it lowers the jokers you own as well

[heavy heron]

what joker is it?

[versed sable]

true :3
my pfp is friend's art too

[heavy heron]

mine is kinda art :3

kinda

not from a pal tho..

but it’s cool!

[versed sable]

[tawny ridge]

i love ankh but man this situation is so ass

[wicked mango]

The one that scales chips to stone cards in deck

[versed sable]

you probably need to have stone card in the deck for it to show up

[strange compass]

@heavy heron I also took the retcon voucher for some reason when I have Chicot 💔

[versed sable]

works that way for lucky cat, golden ticket..

[heavy heron]

OK THAYS JUST NOT SMART

LOOLLL

[heavy heron]

honestly the trance is better

[strange compass]

It's instinct

I had Rocket Money

[versed sable]

get another chicot for manacle time 🔥

[heavy heron]

oh yeah you need at least 1 stone card in deck for that joker to even have a chance at showing up

so make sure to grab towers

or open packs and grab stones

[strange compass]

I did not know that and that stoner joker was my last joker and I was hunting for it like days

[heavy heron]

yeah it’s not very intuitive

[versed sable]

-# "stoner joker" 😭

[heavy heron]

it doesn’t tell you that anywhere

[heavy heron]

isn’t that what it’s called

WAIT

WAITTT

NVM

[versed sable]

LMAO

[heavy heron]

LOOLLL

420 joker

[versed sable]

so close yet so far

[lofty vault]

Double the chance of getting absolutely nothing

[versed sable]

not wrong

[flat warren]

Drop photo for invisible?

[versed sable]

if you can get by on scoring, then probably yeah

[strange compass]

Yes

Photo is useless now that you have Trib

[flat warren]

It’s gonna copy trading card lol

I’ll drop it before I sell invis

[lyric karma]

Its a win still

[versed sable]

-# save scum 🔥

[strange compass]

^

[flat warren]

Idk what that means lol

[versed sable]

if you go back to main menu immediately after doing the sell then you can undo it lol

[flat warren]

Good to know

[versed sable]

you can do that for some things but not everything

[vestal copper]

pairslop final boss

[flat warren]

I already lost the unseeded version because I forgot to skip plant. I’m so mad

I know you’re fucking lying, my coworker distracted me and I just did it again

FAAAACK

[strange compass]

Oof

You can replay the seed

Screenshot the loss screen

[flat warren]

87LTL5EN

[hasty onyx]

We need MONEY

[flat warren]

If yall want trib on a1r1 lol

[strange compass]

Thank

[hasty onyx]

I took the rare joker tag

You’ll never guess what joker it gave me

[astral pendant]

Credit card in reroll

[wicked mango]

Yes I'm well aware

I have had a stone joker every run

Plumbing arcana and standard packs after i have some economy

[lyric karma]

mmm

[wicked mango]

Still no fuckin joker

[heavy heron]

NOOOOO

i shall not condone this method

[azure ginkgo]

Just got square joker off judgement, genuinely might be the best judgement I've ever had

[faint linden]

Squimbo the type of mf to slash my tire and laugh about it

[azure ginkgo]

squimbo is goated wdym (assuming thats square joker)

[faint linden]

(Name etymology: Square + Jimbo = Squimbo) Only time it's worked out for me is Red Stake Plasma Deck

[still geyser]

isnt ante 4 a bit late

[vocal rose]

it is

[vocal rose]

not really

with his huge handsize

[azure ginkgo]

with blueprint burglar? nah

[still geyser]

oh right burglar

[azure ginkgo]

it makes getting chips for pairs + two pairs + high card super easy

[faint linden]

Wee works better for me

[vocal rose]

square joker + green joker

[faint linden]

I tend to actually use my discards

[azure ginkgo]

Wee's great, but a bit less consistent to get scaling on, esp early on

[wintry ice]

i hate constellation like yorick is literally better

one of them is the best scaling xmult joker in the game by far but still

[wicked mango]

Final shop. Havent had lucky cards proc gold in 2 antes despite playing 3 of them a round. Still haven't seen the one fucking joker. Wish me luck, or perish

[azure ginkgo]

godspeed

[wary zodiac]

i made a gif

[vestal copper]

nice run

[foggy bane]

Gee thanks showman

[wary zodiac]

wait no where's the caption 😔

excellent

[wary zodiac]

my showman would've gave me two showmans

+8 mult is monumental

[foggy bane]

Sell showman and buy the new showman in case of the new showman being a better showman

[wary zodiac]

eternal rental showman next shop 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️

[sly prairie]

Should be doable if the Burglar is not hiding

[wicked mango]

God fucking damn it

[azure ginkgo]

im almost done with my burglar run you can have it when im finished

[foggy bane]

Trousers think he part of the team 🥀

[wicked mango]

100 gold of rerolls later fucking piss fuck this game how many times do i have to play to see one goddamn joker

[azure ginkgo]

$100 in rerolls isnt all that much lol

what joker are you looking for?

[wicked mango]

Scroll up or shut up

[azure ginkgo]

oh youre the lucky cat guy (and weirdly toxic?)

[wary zodiac]

burger ante 24

[azure ginkgo]

yeah thats like nothing to find a specific uncommon

[wicked mango]

100 is fine for a single round, it's like a thousand dollars of rerolls over the course of the previous antes

And idk how many times over the past month of runs

Again shut the fuck up and personally i hate you

[azure ginkgo]

lmao

i dont think ive seen anyone get legitimately mad over balatro before, congrats on being the first

[foggy bane]

One mcjoker with extra retriggers please

[azure ginkgo]

may you never find your lucky cat 🫡

[wary zodiac]

was gonna ask who hurt you, but thats probably the burglar

wait

[wicked mango]

I think I've been pretty clear who hurt me

[wary zodiac]

nah it was the cat

[foggy bane]

What if they made a lucky dog joker that gains mult everytime a lucky card ISNT successfully triggered

Am i cooking chat

[sand lily]

I'm working on C++ and I have about 30 jokers left to sticker. Should I be restarting until I see jokers I need stickered in ante 1?

[wary zodiac]

hell YES

[foggy bane]

If you hate yourself yes

[sand lily]

I just want to finish it before thunk adds more jokers

[azure ginkgo]

Nah, though when I was getting down to my last few I would usually reroll until I got a semi-useful joker in the first shop just to make my life easier bc im lazy

def wouldnt for specific jokers

[vocal rose]

no

you shouldn't

you should be maximizing win rate whilst focusing heavily on econ so you can roll down on ante 8

for jokers that you need stickered

I'd try prioritize the jokers that need a condition to show up

like stone joker

[wicked mango]

Lol i got chicot and invis ante 2

These cannot be my first two jokers

[atomic locust]

Good morning how yall been doing and also
Just a reminder i want to let everyone know that you are loved and you are worthy if you need someone to talk too I'm always here no matter what as long as we build each other and lift each other up nothing could stop us

[still pike]

What do I take here? (Either regular rebate or holo banana)

Why is it blurry

[wicked mango]

Yeah I'm bad at both those. I think i got that tunnel vision idk i suck at this game

[wicked mango]

This all makes me want to fight

[wicked mango]

I wonder

Why not screencap it if you're playing on a computer lol

[slow iris]

damn

[restive atlas]

rebate

[grizzled robin]

by ante 6 😄

holy deckfixing

and a "few" purple seals

[gaunt valve]

This game hates me

[vestal copper]

cartomancer is goated tfym

[grizzled robin]

do i kill the dna and play for idol?

cause id guess removing mail in rebate isnt a good idea

its infinite eco with the deckfixing i got

also got retcon so we chilling

[versed sable]

i'd keep DNA over rebate but maybe i'm bad

[grizzled robin]

yeah i love dna too dw

i dont even need scoring irght now its only ante 7 but the thing is what if later on i need scoring

[versed sable]

just if idol hits something bad then being able to get copies of it could be nice
but ig you do have glass so idk

[grizzled robin]

hmm the thing is i could also just get eco from purple seals

[fresh pebble]

PEAK you can get bigger hand size if you have two chichots

[grizzled robin]

but not nearly as much

[grizzled robin]

wait what?

wdym bigger handsize

i mean is it permanent

[fresh pebble]

It's glitched on the -1 handsize guy two chichots will give plus 2

[grizzled robin]

oh shit

[fresh pebble]

So you will have one extra hand size

[grizzled robin]

but does it stay

or no

[fresh pebble]

And you can repeat this

[fresh pebble]

Yes

[grizzled robin]

god damn

[versed sable]

if you fight Manacle boss (-1 hand size) both chicots undo it -> net +1 handsize
and game is confused so it's permanent (for that run)

[umbral fable]

Does this joker count if i play a 3 of a kind???

[versed sable]

other bosses get messed up by it too
e.g. Wall

[versed sable]

yes

"contains" not "is"

[grizzled robin]

will it also upgrade level of poker hand

if you get that one boss

[peak blade]

got to the ante 8 boss trying to earn a gold sticker
but it was violet vessel and i was given literally zero x mult the entire run so i just restart, no need to bother trying to beat an impossible boss blind
very obnoxious

[turbid nova]

no

[glad smelt]

It does even if you play flush with pair inside

[glad smelt]

Needle just gives extra money with 2 chicots not perma hands right?

[wicked mango]

Oh riiiight i forgot about that damn it I don't deserve stone joker

[versed sable]

i think it's extra hands but temporary?

[glad smelt]

Ye, just extra money from them I mean

Anything else perma from chicots?

Game kinda get boring without real challenges except joker less

I’d love higher stakes

[versed sable]

not that i'm aware of

[versed sable]

do more bean runs
trust

[vocal rose]

just do gold stake

[terse imp]

can i naneinf here

[glad smelt]

Too lazy to just grind all stakes over and over to unlock it

[terse imp]

unlock all

[glad smelt]

I mean I finished blue/erratic/checkered gold stake few times

Each

Just too much time for just unlocking

Ehh

[grizzled robin]

how do you have 5 chicots

[glad smelt]

Yeah

[glad smelt]

Why not

[terse imp]

invisible joke and unc

[quiet plinth]

how to break past e23 barrier?

all my runs die around this point

[terse imp]

more hand size?

[vocal rose]

then you haven't challenged yourself enough

[quiet plinth]

how ?

[vocal rose]

are you double copying DNA

[terse imp]

vouchers/crimson bean/multichicot manacle

[vocal rose]

and also use plasma deck

if you want to do endless

[calm furnace]

CHECKERED DECK + BLACKBOARD SYNERGY IS UNMATCHED

[quiet plinth]

i was for a while

[vocal rose]

blackboard is unmatched*

[quiet plinth]

deck

[vocal rose]

if you want to go further use plasma

[glad smelt]

Voucher/perkeo/bean/chichot/ecto(for more jokers) for more hand size

[quiet plinth]

almost all spades are red seals

[grizzled robin]

yo can ectoplasm take your hand size to less than 1

[quiet plinth]

maybe hand size is what I need

[grizzled robin]

i actually dont remember

or is 1 minimum
