[red briar]

my scoring is set for a long time now

[steady marten]

1

[devout reef]

Nope!

[ancient gyro]

well

[wraith slate]

although ankh gets rid of scaling base mult so probably not worth

[lofty vault]

2 hexed constellation is good if you can survive with it

[steady marten]

Alr alr

[lofty vault]

Xmult early game is ASS

[lofty vault]

I'd take the left one

[versed sable]

good times

[olive stirrup]

Holy pack

[red briar]

if i kept levelling flush even

the stencil joker would carry my score

[lofty vault]

Half joker

[olive stirrup]

I'd take half joker

[twin lantern]

hey, sorry if i bother you. guys but, i have a question

[wraith slate]

flip a coin

[olive stirrup]

Do i skip here?

[ancient gyro]

stm 🗣️

[terse vale]

take stm!

[ancient gyro]

my bae

[lofty vault]

Chat what if there was a half blueprint joker that only triggered the joker to its right 1 in 2 times

[olive stirrup]

Boredom cryptid mod

[wraith slate]

I would never buy it

[lofty vault]

Use it on bloodstone

[wraith slate]

although speculative oops all sizes is just that much better

[olive stirrup]

Already exists

[olive stirrup]

Oops all sizes

[twin lantern]

how can i get the rank "joker" in this sv?

[red briar]

lost to the spade

[lofty vault]

Something fancy probably

[red briar]

the goad

whatever its called

[twin lantern]

hmmm

[red briar]

is okay

[twin lantern]

if can be doing a naneinf

[pallid ferry]

last deck and stake before c+ ,,

[ancient gyro]

cool

[twin lantern]

damn bro

[lofty vault]

It's easy with enough bullshit

[pallid ferry]

freakin black deck is making me lose my mind i cant wait to finish this

[light brook]

goat mention

[devout heron]

IT MIGHT BE MY FIRST NINEINF IM SO EXCITED

[twin lantern]

hey, buddy, i have a question, if you can answer obvious

[lofty vault]

Just get an eternal stencil and hex with 5 ankhs

[twin lantern]

👀

[light brook]

yes miku

[olive stirrup]

Accidental reference right there

[pallid ferry]

how hard could that be right?

[twin lantern]

how can i get the rank "joker" like you in this sv?

[lofty vault]

You got enough cryptids?

[devout heron]

yo bro that ticket is gold right?

[twin lantern]

[twin lantern]

yes

its gold

[devout heron]

idk really i hope so

[lofty vault]

Someones probably done it maybe

[devout heron]

ok let me take it

i have directors cut

[pallid ferry]

i gotta hope for the best

[light brook]

okay so essentially just be cool and if thunk is feeling generous he’ll give it out

[devout heron]

should I go forward with the antes so that i can copy more cryptid?

[lofty vault]

What are the 5 jokers

[twin lantern]

ouh, i gotcha, thank you bro

[light brook]

do not ask for it because it automatically puts you on a blacklist (until he forgets)

[twin lantern]

[twin lantern]

daaaamn, okey

[lofty vault]

So be chill and don't be a whiny lil mf about it

[light brook]

uhhh i fink there’s more than 5 broski

[light brook]

essentially

[lofty vault]

The 5/150 in yo name

[pale wolf]

anyone important in the server can give the role it seems

[twin lantern]

fr?

[light brook]

oh uh dna wee hack holo and half

[lofty vault]

Give it to Jimbo

[pale wolf]

not only thunk, head mods and probably playstack

[light brook]

yeah but usually thunk is the one who decides it

[ancient gyro]

or a random mod

[red briar]

abandoned deck frying me without help

[twin lantern]

ahhhh, okay, thank you

[lofty vault]

I found abandoned fairly easy

[pale wolf]

jokers themselves arent important

[twin lantern]

sorry if my english isn't very good

im from other continent

[light brook]

you’re all good! i can understand it perfectly fine

[twin lantern]

seriously?, damn, thank you

[lofty vault]

Rebate on abandoned is amazing cuz it already dealt with 12 cards for you so you have less to search through

[light brook]

this, it’s essentially cosmetic along with (mentally please don’t boast) bragging rights

[lofty vault]

Is the face paint Jimbo uses edible

[light brook]

it’s on egg so i’d assume so

[red briar]

im trying to play setups but they never work :C

[lofty vault]

So I can lick him and not get poisoned

[light brook]

oh wait you don’t eat the shell

[lofty vault]

Calcium

[versed sable]

bragging rights are fun :3

[light brook]

if you want to i guess but im sure he wouldn’t like it much

[red briar]

i think i need to play white stake blue deck more

since i cant get out of early antes ever

[lofty vault]

Give em a banana as a bribe

[devout heron]

voucher gold again?

[lofty vault]

Voucher

[light brook]

show him your wee

[red briar]

if i cant win on blue deck

what kind of player am i

[light brook]

a learning one

and learning does not equal bad

[heady narwhal]

• ride the bus
• the duo
  "here, win"

[coarse shuttle]

yall how good is this so far

[red briar]

some of the setups i've lost on would beg to differ

[light brook]

there is no such thing as “bad at x” but there is such a thing as “i am still learning x and will get better with practice”

[heady narwhal]

money situation is looking bad and you skipped too many times

[coarse shuttle]

im bad at balatro

[red briar]

it's a skill in and of itself

[coarse shuttle]

yeah ik ik

[light brook]

*i am still learning balatro and will get better with practice

[devout heron]

guys pls help

[heady narwhal]

aj + blueprint seems alright as long as you can level up flushes and thin your deck

[light brook]

no need for it

[devout heron]

i wish i took ectoplasm before

[light brook]

bp is better and bs wouldn’t do anything here

[heady narwhal]

• shoot the moon
• drunkard
  "here, win"

[lyric karma]

I love magic deck

[coarse shuttle]

WAIT HOLY SHOOT
50K AT ANTE 4

[devout heron]

do you think i might do nineinf?

[limber nova]

egg

[light brook]

erm we forgot to mention mars

[jagged dune]

i love erratic deck

[light brook]

see what’d i say

[heady narwhal]

mars is also cool!! doesn't work that well with stm though which is what i would be taking here

[limber nova]

[devout heron]

@light brook

[light brook]

also being bad at roguelikes is kinda hard because sometimes the game gives you a layup and sometimes it shits on a fan

[wintry ice]

i'm taking notes

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[light brook]

i am very inexperienced with naneinf, but i do believe there is a high chance of it

[limber nova]

like unrolled photochad

[red briar]

i am a pretty good example of how this cannot be

[lyric karma]

being bad at roguelikes is easy
just have zero reading comprehension

[light brook]

i am also coming around to such opinions

[jagged dune]

Still remember when I found an use for superposition

[light brook]

so 90% of the server?

[jagged dune]

It was unbelievable

[lyric karma]

maybe, maybe

[heady narwhal]

when and how do you die usually

[jagged dune]

98%

[desert pebble]

whats the jokers dimensions i need it to draw icons for a thing

[lofty vault]

Balatro

[light brook]

1:1 for squoker i know that

[heady narwhal]

71x95 with 1 pixel of transparency around the edges

so effectively 69x93

[jagged dune]

1 pixel margin

[desert pebble]

ty!

[jagged dune]

There is a correct sized Jimbo in the pins of #🎨・fan-art

[serene forge]

i remember playing slay the spire once and taking a maw bank over blue key when i had ectoplasm

[olive stirrup]

Do i take sock?

[red briar]

i barely win in early antes then just die

[heady narwhal]

probably not imo

[red briar]

due to lack of good scoring cards

[devout heron]

do you know someone that alr did nineinf?

[versed sable]

i wouldn't

[jagged dune]

how handsome

[versed sable]

hi

[heady narwhal]

i don't like taking retriggers when they don't already synergize with what i have

[coarse shuttle]

bro ts is so overpowered 😭
all i gotta do is get a flush of the suit aj is then i win 1 hand

[woven spire]

we all do

[heady narwhal]

do you know how to circumvent the suit bosses with aj

[devout heron]

may i ask you what do you think of my run?

[coarse shuttle]

im new so no

[devout heron]

and may i ask you what to aim at now

[coarse shuttle]

pretty good

[woven spire]

hallo

[jagged dune]

Sometimes I forget that I played balatro for months and start thinking I'm a newbie

[humble gulch]

I mean, a lot of people have unseeded naneinf

[heady narwhal]

if there's a suit boss coming up, play the big blind if aj is on the debuffed suit and skip the big blind otherwise

[humble gulch]

Myself included

[versed sable]

strong,,
i doubt naneinf rn though

[coarse shuttle]

k

[heady narwhal]

aj can never roll the same suit twice in a row so this guarantees you won't get countered

[wintry ice]

isn't cryptid the most common non-burglar naneinf strat

[heady narwhal]

still have to watch out for mouth and needle and water and such though

[woven spire]

yeah

[devout heron]

should I take braintstorm now and try to do nineinf?

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[wintry ice]

idk between that and observatory

[versed sable]

i
don't think so?
not sure qwq i usually don't play perkeo and don't play non-plasma, and i base my scoring a lot off of testing

[humble gulch]

You need Perkeo, I wouldn't consider that common

[woven spire]

it’s the most known tho

[devout heron]

how do I test

[coarse shuttle]

do i buy chad
and what do i sell

[devout heron]

taking brainstorm now and trying to do nineinf at the next round imo could be great but idk.

[lyric karma]

Maybe drunkard

[versed sable]

well
play hand and then quit to main menu and go back, once you're about halfway through the hand so you can estimate accurately
but that's only if you don't find that cheating lol

[woven spire]

the straights guy

[devout heron]

?

[light brook]

things i have never been called:

[woven spire]

mb wrong reply

[devout heron]

well i will go to bed now i will ask you tomorrow

[carmine berry]

not my proudest gold stake but..a win is a win ig..
and its another complete

[red briar]

ffs

[devout heron]

@woven spire what do you think

[olive stirrup]

What do I take?

[red briar]

bout to lose another blue deck white stake

[woven spire]

you could nan with that setup.

[versed sable]

i'd sell straights joker

[woven spire]

if those 48 are cryptids

[olive stirrup]

Skill issue bro

[lyric karma]

Show deck and hand levels

[red briar]

mega skill issue on my part

[versed sable]

vamp is honestly doable maybe
you do have econ

[woven spire]

“Instead of helping someone let’s just say skill issue”

[olive stirrup]

I'm in ante 2

[devout heron]

so should I take brainstorm?

and go for it?

[heady narwhal]

vamp and drunkard

[olive stirrup]

Like bro blue deck is one of the easiest decks

[woven spire]

if you want to do it, yeah

[woven spire]

So?

[red briar]

there has to be some sort of diminishing returns on levelling your hands this high

[versed sable]

oh you get two? take both non-eternals

[woven spire]

Someone new can’t lose?

[lyric karma]

it would take a while to get enhancements for vamp value, but yea take it

[versed sable]

true

[lyric karma]

Also just realized you can take two

take vamp and drunkard

[red briar]

but bleh

i'm in too deep with burnt joker

may as well see it through

[wintry ice]

when i'm in an unhelpful advice competition and my opponent is a balatro server member:

[red briar]

okay due

i didnt want my 40$ anyways you can have it

[wintry ice]

it's best to reroll all your money away before going into this boss

how much does 3oak score

[lyric karma]

that hurts

😿

[woven spire]

they have a level 20 pair so i’m pretty sure it’s not leveled up

[versed sable]

excuse me, my advice is-
actually no it's probably bad too

[coarse pollen]

What's the best mod you've ever played? I liked the Lost Edition

[woven spire]

#⚙・modding-general

[red briar]

violet vessel means gg's for me

[fiery nymph]

i hate vessel

it kills my pairslop

😣

[wintry ice]

with 0$ for xmult too

[woven spire]

that’s usual with pairslop runs

[fiery nymph]

though i can win with pairslop

[red briar]

pairslop...

[fiery nymph]

depending on my xmult

[red briar]

i had no xmult so

that's on me

[fiery nymph]

300k vessel seems like a dream

😭

i gotta stop playing ga

[woven spire]

lmao fr

[red briar]

yeah my jokers are normally not very good

[woven spire]

we got the violent vessel in gs

[red briar]

i just

don't know how to get better

[olive stirrup]

Arcana or buffoon?

[red briar]

red stake yellow deck might do it for me

[olive stirrup]

Yellow deck is better

For u

[woven spire]

yellow is a pretty good deck if you want to get better

Easier to learn econ stuff

[olive stirrup]

.

[wintry ice]

the easiest way to get xmult is to get more money to find them

[red briar]

having hack as the only viable joker earlygame is a slog

[wintry ice]

buffoon i think

[wintry ice]

i think glutton is better that early

[manic talon]

common yorick L

[red briar]

should i even be playing red stake

if i cant win consistently on white

[vocal rose]

seed money ttm

[wintry ice]

it's ok we know you're in love with him

[royal bobcat]

does someone know if its possible so get my game pass savefile to my steam version of the game?

[olive stirrup]

Blue stake is fucking impossible any tips?

[humble gulch]

Do pairs

[red briar]

it appears that most of my bad decisions are made between ante 1 and 3

[olive stirrup]

Seed money tall tall mountain from sm64

[wintry ice]

blue stake favors small hands a lot

[olive stirrup]

Thx

[slow iris]

skill issue

[humble gulch]

Sometimes even two pair

[humble gulch]

Also

[olive stirrup]

Throwback is a good joker fym

[humble gulch]

Soon you'll hate it too

[lunar zealot]

Happy ides of march chat

lets kill the fuck out of julius caesar

[olive stirrup]

Why?

It is easy

[slow iris]

blue stake is one of the easiest stakes

[humble gulch]

Skipping it's usually really bad and Throwback scales really poorly

[lyric karma]

so?

[humble gulch]

It's just not worth it

[lyric karma]

Wait i just read

thought it said blue deck not blue stake

[olive stirrup]

Bro the creator of the game and the community wants to update it because it's too difficult wdym 😭 😭 😭

[lunar zealot]

someone send the image

[lyric karma]

dont be awake all night to 1am kids

[red briar]

i think i don't like yellow deck

[red briar]

tiny bit late

[olive stirrup]

Why

[humble gulch]

I usually sleep at 11 pm... or 2 am

[olive stirrup]

For me it's 8 :32 pm

[wintry ice]

1 round of value isn't worth 0.25x mult

[red briar]

because i am bad at balatro

[humble gulch]

I love yellow deck, yellow deck my beloved

[wintry ice]

especially lategame

[red briar]

and i don't like any of the decks because i can't fucken win any of them

[humble gulch]

It makes bootstraps a lot more viable

Which is my favorite uncommon

[red briar]

if i got photograph right now it would be huge

[lyric karma]

i love bootstraps

[humble gulch]

We

[lyric karma]

right, we

🙏

[red briar]

just saying...

if i got photograph right now...

[humble gulch]

My favorite common is egg

[humble gulch]

You're not Ruffle, bro

[olive stirrup]

Hack on abandoned

[red briar]

but of course big yalatro has to sabotage me

[olive stirrup]

Tf is yalatro bro😭

[narrow scroll]

ruffle???

[olive stirrup]

Not even close on the keyboard

[lyric karma]

balala but it yaps

[humble gulch]

He almost summon jokers into existence 🥀

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[humble gulch]

I love Bloodstone

[olive stirrup]

Rufflelite my goat

[lyric karma]

im starting to think me too

[lyric karma]

riffle

[red briar]

red stake yellow deck killing me bro

[olive stirrup]

Bloodstone is kinda good

[narrow scroll]

i love bloodstone because i am a 12 time lottery winner

[humble gulch]

You literally start with extra money, how can it be killing you

[olive stirrup]

For multiplayer it's the goat

[lyric karma]

Pro tip, dont skip the small blind

[red briar]

i don't

[red briar]

because i suck bro

[lyric karma]

go for pairs then

[humble gulch]

Not getting three dolars from the small blind shouldn't be a problem at all 💔

[red briar]

go for pairs in ante 1?

[narrow scroll]

go flushes for ante 1
unless you get like a green joker/ ride the bus ante 1

[lyric karma]

Obviously not

but like

build for pairs

[humble gulch]

Of course not, only if you find a joker that's good with pairs

[red briar]

how do i build for pairs if i don't get the right jokers ✌️

[wintry ice]

play large hands until it's best that you shouldn't play them

[wintry ice]

blue seals

or go for straights or 4oak instead

or flushes since it's low stakes

[red briar]

what if i don't get those either

[narrow scroll]

flushes are really good for the first two antes
a single jupiter can somewhat carry you to the big blind ante 2 which is nice

[lyric karma]

Unless you find the resources to build for something the same as good

[humble gulch]

Just play, it's impossible to not get something

[wintry ice]

then look at what jokers you got

[manic talon]

selling Yorick continues to be a 100% winrate strategy, Common Yorick L

[red briar]

if you saw some of my runs

[wintry ice]

guys i think she wants to marry yorick

[lyric karma]

flushes and straights carrying ante 1 and 2

[humble gulch]

Pairs in the back waiting to carry the whole run

[narrow scroll]

saturn ❤️ ♥️

[red briar]

are the first 2 antes about building econ

and then ante 3 you start buildikng

[humble gulch]

Not really

[manic talon]

you dont have to remind people youre a white stake player fork we all already know

[stoic isle]

yo, rick?

[humble gulch]

Vagabond forces you to have less than 5 dollars

[lyric karma]

not necesarily

[humble gulch]

An early credit card it's really good too

[lyric karma]

like, you can start building at early ante 1 if you get the right resources

[olive stirrup]

Do i ankh hack?

[humble gulch]

You'll die

[lofty vault]

Lowkey balatro is a game

[stoic isle]

balatro

[red briar]

balatro is something terrible

[humble gulch]

It feels like it was meant to be played 💔

[lofty vault]

It even has updates and stuff

[humble gulch]

Or does it

[red briar]

balatrines dicen balala

[olive stirrup]

The run is saved

[lyric karma]

hold on, actually feels like it was meant to be winned by playing too

[olive stirrup]

Are u Spanish?

[lofty vault]

Don't be ridiculous now

[lyric karma]

balatro balatres

[humble gulch]

It kinda feels like it should be played on a screen tho

[lofty vault]

Buh

[olive stirrup]

Bruh💀

[lyric karma]

😦

[olive stirrup]

Is that Miku and teto?

[humble gulch]

You got your priorities straight...

[red briar]

this game feels so repetitive dawg

[lofty vault]

I have them gay at the moment

[serene forge]

no it's kagamine rin and megurine luka

[red briar]

start run
get nothing good for the first 4 antes
resetr

[humble gulch]

That's a skill issue

[olive stirrup]

Most of my runs

[lofty vault]

Loser mindset

[lyric karma]

Pessimistic mind

[red briar]

it's how most runs go

[narrow scroll]

i hate nebula deck!!
the -1 discard is worse than stubbing your toe 3 times

not discard

consumable slot

[red briar]

i have to restart or i'll simply lose to not scoring enough

[lyric karma]

i hate N(ebula deck)

[wintry ice]

not finding good jokers is usually a sign of pickiness

[lofty vault]

Get ball

Why aren't you pondering the orb

[red briar]

i'm super picky when this is my shop

[humble gulch]

The worst deck, black deck it's way more fun

[narrow scroll]

i live next to no fortune tellers

[olive stirrup]

he's learning 🥹

[wintry ice]

what boss blind is it

[serene forge]

whats boss blind

[humble gulch]

Matador is really good

On ante 1

[frank grove]

What’s boss?

[serene forge]

if its matador compatible take it

if not buffoon

[wintry ice]

i'd take buffoon pack regardless

[red briar]

the club

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[frank grove]

I would take matador

[lyric karma]

Take matador totally

[serene forge]

matador good

[wintry ice]

yea take buffoon and matador

[serene forge]

and buffoon

[lofty vault]

I refuse to believe it won even though it did

[red briar]

i got wrathful joker from buffoon

[lofty vault]

It's rage can't be contained

[wintry ice]

ante 1 matador on compatible bosses is basically a better investment tag

[humble gulch]

That's everything you need

[serene forge]

yeah i think jugger is just not yet experienced enough to know what's worth taking yet, which is ok, they'll learn over time

[lyric karma]

true, true

[lofty vault]

Matador + the head or something

[red briar]

so im at 38$

now what

[wintry ice]

it's still deserving of a rework because it's unclear what boss it should work on

like wdym it doesn't work on hook

[humble gulch]

They'll soon know that Bloodstone's really good

[red briar]

pull nada for the next 2 antes and quit

[humble gulch]

So you do speak spanish

[lyric karma]

it should work on verdant leaf too

[wintry ice]

check what's in the shop

[frank grove]

it does work on leaf no?

[red briar]

looks inside

[lyric karma]

afaik no

[serene forge]

arcanas

[wintry ice]

if it's you find a joker that scales from hands or econ you should take it

[serene forge]

look for a hermit

[wintry ice]

i'd honestly take saturn

[serene forge]

or a devil or something

[red briar]

sun, death, and wheel of fortune

[lyric karma]

i didnt got matador that far on my last runs

[red briar]

son

[narrow scroll]

saturn is never bad unless it is

[serene forge]

wheel

ngl

[olive stirrup]

Baron on abandoned is funny

[humble gulch]

I would take sun

[red briar]

nothing

[wintry ice]

death into spades can be decent ig

[serene forge]

wrathful is good enough scoring for now

[humble gulch]

For nothing in particular...

[red briar]

fucking hell

[frank grove]

The wiki says it does so

[lyric karma]

Take fortune and gamble

[humble gulch]

World

[lyric karma]

oh

[wintry ice]

strength 10s into jacks to set up 4oak just in case

[serene forge]

i would emperor because i'm greedy but world and strength are both good here

[red briar]

this run sux already

[lyric karma]

take world

[frank grove]

But like only until you sell a joker but if you just don’t sell a joker then it works

[red briar]

rerolled still nothing

[humble gulch]

You'll soon understand

[serene forge]

nah

[narrow scroll]

BUS!!

[frank grove]

Bus?? Is not nothing

[serene forge]

you have stable scoring and great econ

[wintry ice]

38$ by ante 2 small blind is insane

[serene forge]

bro

[lyric karma]

Dont say that yo, what if you get a polychrome blueprint on the next shop

[humble gulch]

Don't reroll again...

[serene forge]

that's a bus

take it

lmao

[wintry ice]

well strengthing into jacks woukd have been a mistake

[spice lance]

All roads lead to flush, take the spades bro

[red briar]

i won't

[wintry ice]

bus is very good

[serene forge]

yeah so

[wintry ice]

all scaling +mult jokerd that aren't bootstraps are good

[red briar]

square joker and space joker

[serene forge]

most scaling jokers in general are super strong

[wintry ice]

ft also isn't good this early

[red briar]

this is what i mean bro

[lyric karma]

What i'm trying to say is that, dont be so pessimistic

[stoic isle]

how long have you guys been helping this guy

[frank grove]

why didn’t you take bus?

[wintry ice]

well that's an easy win angways

[serene forge]

okay so

[frank grove]

Also square and space are really good as well

[narrow scroll]

square...

[wintry ice]

a free win if you took bus

[serene forge]

my suggestion is to play around with more cards even if you think they're bad

[red briar]

i'll just pick this up tomorrow

[humble gulch]

Honestly I'd choose supernova or green joker over bus 🥀

[serene forge]

because you're missing some very good cards

[red briar]

every other time i've taken bus it's almost always been a loss

[frank grove]

Why?

[serene forge]

bus square and space joker are all incredible

[wintry ice]

missing out on face cards ain't all that

[spice lance]

space joker then go pair slop for the 1737274th time

[humble gulch]

I just don't like bus

[narrow scroll]

supernova??

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[red briar]

this game pisses me off sometimes

[serene forge]

yet you love bloodstone

curious

[stoic isle]

anyway i had lunch

[wintry ice]

like if you have bus you won't want to do a face card run ever

[red briar]

well all of the time

[humble gulch]

What's the problem...

[versed sable]

what exactly are you looking for in your shops?

[wintry ice]

because the good face card scoring jokers serve the same pourpose that bus does

[red briar]

legitimately anything

[stoic isle]

i have some advice

[red briar]

as long as i win i don't care what i play

[frank grove]

You just saw bus, square and space back to back to back what

[stoic isle]

minimal advice

just buy jokers

[versed sable]

you found bus and square, that's a build
+1 mult +4 chips every hand is good

[slow iris]

damn

[stoic isle]

literally just buy more jokers

[humble gulch]

Free win

[stoic isle]

you can always replace them

[spice lance]

Literally milky way

[wintry ice]

bus, square and space joker at ante 2 is a free win on gold stake

now imagine white

[lyric karma]

Balatro runs are most usually about doing what you can with the resources you find, you got wrathful joker? Build for flush of spades until you get something better, you only got matador for econ? Use it to make money from bosses until you are on an ante where, the boss blind isnt compatible, and until you get a good shop, or get a good buffoon pack, of enough econ to reroll for something good, you will have to stick to that gameplay

[narrow scroll]

i really like how that looks

[lyric karma]

it looks so sick

[serene forge]

here win

[red briar]

i just think i'm

slow

af

[serene forge]

nah

[stoic isle]

entire chat pauses to say "woah that looks cool"

[serene forge]

you're just new to this

you'll get better as you play more

[lyric karma]

Okayyyyy (loses at ante 4 the eye)

[humble gulch]

I mean, ante 4 it's not that hard to oneshot

[wintry ice]

oh right i left things off at this

[humble gulch]

Rebate

[stoic isle]

mmm money yum

[frank notch]

scarychad

[red briar]

i have like 350 runs so far

i've only won 9

[wintry ice]

this run is legitimately unethical what

[coarse shuttle]

yall what do i sell to put stone joker in

[stoic isle]

those were my stats

[red briar]

that's a 2% winrate

[humble gulch]

Stop reseting, dawg 🥀

[red briar]

surely it can't be that hard

[frank notch]

straightchips

[wintry ice]

the game has a learning curve

which is sorta steep

[red briar]

even when i know i'll lose the next blind??

[stoic isle]

instead of resetting, just keep going until you lose

[humble gulch]

What if not?

[spice lance]

replace the straight one

[coarse shuttle]

i did

[red briar]

what if it's mathematically impossible for me to win the blind dude

that's what happens

most of the time

[serene forge]

devious

[frank grove]

Are you resetting after you go into shops?

[coarse shuttle]

i did

[lyric karma]

usually happens to me that when i havent gotten a strong hand or wasted my time gambling (with judgement and fortune) when i get early eye i barely beat the round

[narrow scroll]

i really like how negative mr bones looks
i'm a little biased but i think it's my favourite negative joker

[humble gulch]

Probably not, you start to search for something better or glass

[frank notch]

get jokers so you can win

[red briar]

most of my resets are mid-blind when i realise i'm not gonna win

[lyric karma]

or, in rare scenarios, die

[stoic isle]

there were a few blinds i've been in where i thought i was gonna lose and i won by like 39 chips

[spice lance]

then go for full stone deck (I never did)

[humble gulch]

I don't have one yet

[olive stirrup]

Arcana or buffoon?

[terse vale]

my chud daughter

[humble gulch]

Brainstorm looks pretty cool tho

[coarse shuttle]

THEN ATLEAST FINISH THE BLIND

[terse vale]

save money

[frank grove]

Neither

[red briar]

i'm gonna start a new yellow deck red stake run with all the advice in mind

[stoic isle]

card balatro arcana

[red briar]

and i'm not gonna be surprised when i lose on ante 4-5

[lyric karma]

go next

[terse vale]

whats with the double mult tho

[humble gulch]

Why not?

[wintry ice]

i think ante 4-5 is where most runs die

[terse vale]

one is enough

[stoic isle]

chips

[terse vale]

especially 5 imo

[humble gulch]

Two are better

[stoic isle]

anyway i'm in blue stake hell right now

[wintry ice]

since that's usually when you start needing xmult

[red briar]

i would take the buffoon pack here

[stoic isle]

please wish me good luck

[terse vale]

no? one is enough and having 2 just wastes a slot honestly

also you have to navigate bus and green

[frank grove]

I’m taking business and going next

[spice lance]

catch 'em all jokers

[terse vale]

bus takes priority over green obviously but still

[red briar]

business card

[humble gulch]

Not really, I'd say 3 it's when it gets iffy

[red briar]

when i'm playing flushes with like 2 face cards in them at best

[stoic isle]

i might just wait until the update so i don't have to deal with the evil and intimidating -1 discard

[frank grove]

Its 10 mult and even if you only make 2 dollars a hand that’s still fine

[wintry ice]

painted deck fr got me playing pairs to scale obelisk

[red briar]

it's not 10 mult though?

it's polychrome not holographic

[terse vale]

one mult scaler gets to like 50 - 80 at the end thats enough I swear 😭 like early stacking up on mult is fine but one mult scaler is fine

[olive stirrup]

Holy obelisk

[frank grove]

Oh whoops

[coarse shuttle]

I JUST GOT 1 MILLION IN 1 HAND

[frank grove]

It still lets you one shot next blind

[olive stirrup]

Stuntman unlock I think

[willow frost]

isnt that 100m

[olive stirrup]

Or hundred mil?

[humble gulch]

Having another one it's just a ×2, double green joker, supernova or bus are all really good

[high silo]

best 4 of hearts OAT?

[stoic isle]

woag

[red briar]

should i take ice cream for early chips?

[olive stirrup]

Def take red seal

[red briar]

skip, buffoon pack

idk

[humble gulch]

Where's the polychrome red seal

[stoic isle]

definitely

[frank grove]

It’s pricy I would go buffoon

[lyric karma]

Stuntman unlocks when reaching a hundred million

[serene forge]

why

purple is better

[stoic isle]

arcana first though

[olive stirrup]

?

[serene forge]

that red seal isn't even enhanced

[red briar]

looks inside

[frank notch]

no its 100 million

[lyric karma]

I meant hundred

[frank notch]

nvm c

[stoic isle]

HE SAID THE

[spice lance]

You see that jupiter? Take that and go next lol

[red briar]

i would assume fortune teller

[stoic isle]

-# chess battle enhanced

[lyric karma]

yea dont be awake until late you will be like me

[serene forge]

make sure to take that chad with the business card btw

[terse vale]

navigating both isn’t reeally worth it tho since they have caveats to scaling but eh

[lyric karma]

losing all the reading comprehension

[serene forge]

wait you passed it

[red briar]

that would've been good advice 3 minutes ago

[proper juniper]

that was close

[limpid gate]

Anyone have a seed they KNOW has cerulean bell at ante 8

[red briar]

i could just...reset the seed and go take it

[slow iris]

i'm trying to play straights for once but the game keeps giving me mercury cards

sigh

[limpid gate]

I cant do multiple runs atm

[lyric karma]

dont do that

[red briar]

but then i wouldn't complete the red stake

[serene forge]

me earlier

[lyric karma]

whats done is done

[frank notch]

COME ON

[red briar]

i'll just take fortune teller and jupiter

[humble gulch]

I'd say the only "bad" combo is green joker, bus

[red briar]

and go next blind

[lyric karma]

continue until you die

[serene forge]

punished

[spice lance]

Save scumming in balala is crazy

[waxen sentinel]

how do you even do that it autosaves so frequently

[red briar]

nada in the shop

[lyric karma]

i just searched and balala (that copy game) got taken out of the playstore

[ashen portal]

[lyric karma]

😿

[humble gulch]

Just as you draw your first hand, mid hands, every reroll and so

[spice lance]

Just be faster than that autosave lol

[devout reef]

Bait failed. Try again.

[slow iris]

leaving swashbuckler with the dead egg

[frank notch]

i just got a nat negative splash

[red briar]

?

[lyric karma]

Put business card at the right

[red briar]

let me take popcorn just to sell it 2 blinds later because it's not worth no more

[olive stirrup]

I'm running out of hands to play to keep scaling my obelisk

[humble gulch]

Those two extra chips surely will come in play

[lyric karma]

It is worth, take it

[waxen sentinel]

if they playing pairs then yes

[red briar]

i got popcorn from a tarot card anyways

[lyric karma]

Just be sure to put iit at the left of business card

[frank grove]

Popcorn allows you to one or two shot for an ante

[spice lance]

Next time try to go pair for 20+ bro, this looks painful

[devout reef]

Yeah but he would have to sell it in two rounds. So it’s not worth it.

[frank notch]

i'm not winning

[olive stirrup]

Yeah I have to downscale my grimbo to stay alive

[waxen sentinel]

holographic hanging chad and im 2 dollars off from buying it and dont want to sell anything. rip

[olive stirrup]

Only chips scoring is wild

[red briar]

green joker...

[frank notch]

plasma deck

[humble gulch]

I want the sticker so badly...

[red briar]

no clue what to do yet again

i said the early antes are not my strong suit

[devout reef]

How do you not understand what to do

[olive stirrup]

And? Chips scoring is like only for early game bro u have to score with xmult

[spice lance]

free win

[frank notch]

chips scoring

[red briar]

i have no clue what's good anymore

maybe if i got robber it would be worth

[devout reef]

It’s worth it without burglar

[red briar]

burglar ye

[devout reef]

Literally hard carries runs

[ebon condor]

you def can win plasma w only chips its just that they didnt have enough

[red briar]

how do i play the green card though

just never discard?

[ebon condor]

play as many hands as possible

[devout reef]

Don’t. Press. The. Discard.

[wintry ice]

chip only plasma works until vessel

[red briar]

with 4 hands that's hard...

[frank notch]

i had enough i just got unlucky with the boss

[waxen sentinel]

53 dollars already 😭

[ebon condor]

delete this please

dont mislead new players for fun

[olive stirrup]

Why did I send it twice

[stoic isle]

🐸

[frank notch]

wee in c tier youre going to the chamber

[spice lance]

I never switch to mult when playing plasma (I'm stupid)

[waxen sentinel]

red card me boy in f tier 🥀 he carried me when i was new

[red briar]

is runner worth taking on ante 3

[olive stirrup]

Plasma lover right here

[humble gulch]

Basing of a tierlist it's just a horrible advice...

[stoic isle]

WEEEEEE

always buy wee joker

[stoic isle]

always pivot to wee joker

[olive stirrup]

It's like general tier list idk

[red briar]

is runner worth taking or do i have enough leeway to reroll

[frank grove]

Yeah wee is great on every deck

[frank notch]

wee is generaly an op joker in ANY deck

[humble gulch]

Just no

[terse dock]

You might be a foolish individual

[ebon condor]

OH THATS AMAZING

with green??

yeah take that

[red briar]

how is straights good with green joker

[wintry ice]

i'm accidentally 1 shotting bosses

[red briar]

you need to discard to actually get straights

[frank grove]

Yeah runner worth, the telescope is also probably worth it if you play pairs

[humble gulch]

They're not really good

[terse dock]

Just fix bro

[ebon condor]

play straights whenever you have them

[spice lance]

Those tier lists are for general viability, of course many of them jokers are situational.

[wintry ice]

this might be a sign for me stop putting blueprint on it

[terse vale]

ok im back and I didn’t say this earlier but I’ll say it now! having 2 scaling mult jokers is kind of a crutch because again, one works perfectly fine! it gets to 50 - 80! if you have 2 every game you’re wasting a slot you could be using on econ and deckfixing

[red briar]

i've been playing flushes so far

[ebon condor]

but you dont need to play them excusively

[wintry ice]

you can use hands as discards

[terse vale]

many examples of 1 mult scalers working

[devout reef]

I have a question

[frank grove]

You use the straights to scale chips and then usually play pairs or some easier hand with green

[devout reef]

Jugger, if you play a pair, how many cards are you selecting for that pair hand?

[humble gulch]

Why would you not have two on gold stake

[ebon condor]

once runners at like +100 and greens at like +30 youll be getting good scoring regardless of what hand you play

[red briar]

2?

[devout reef]

Why not 5

Or as many as you need to dig faster

[terse vale]

because one! is enough! chips and mult can survive until like ante 5 or 6

[red briar]

should i sell popcorn now

it's at +4 mult

[frank grove]

Yes

[red briar]

i'll reroll some to see if i can find any mult i guess

aaand nothing

[lyric karma]

you need more things than mult

[wintry ice]

i can already kill vessel 😭

[lyric karma]

Usually you want chips too

[humble gulch]

I'll always take two if I have the opportunity tho

[lyric karma]

chips are good when you dont have mult

[stoic isle]

hess

[lyric karma]

if you have enough flat mult you want xmult

[coarse shuttle]

sad

[frank grove]

I’m almost never taking two mult scalers cause it usually doesn’t matter

[waxen sentinel]

dumbest possible joker set (yes ik ill put the x mult to the right)

[stoic isle]

-# the seed is in the screenshot

[lyric karma]

which multiplies your mult if you didnt know, that makes the value grow at a bigger pace

[manic talon]

What if you sell the +mult

[lyric karma]

and when you have all those covered, or at opposite, you don't, you should build your econ

with jokers or interest

or both

[olive stirrup]

If this doesn't win I'm cooked

[lyric karma]

I believe

[coarse shuttle]

-# im stupid

[devout reef]

Reposition

Also use your tarots

[humble gulch]

I'd love to get spare trousers

[devout reef]

Or tarot I guess

[olive stirrup]

NOOOOOOOOOOO I FORGOT MY LUCKY CARDSSSS

[wintry ice]

[humble gulch]

Died

[olive stirrup]

I had a 8.4x obelisk

[devout reef]

…

Did you just have like no chips

Or mult scaled

[humble gulch]

Good start

[devout reef]

Cause losing with an 8.4 obelisk is…impressive

[coarse shuttle]

should i get the ramen

[limpid gate]

Anyone have a seed they KNOW has cerulean bell at ante 8

[devout reef]

Not needed

[coarse shuttle]

why

[limpid gate]

bug testing

[coarse shuttle]

i had one but i didnt save the seed

[humble gulch]

Died cuz I couldn't draw anything 💔 💔 💔

[whole wyvern]

Hi! New ish to the game. Is doing flush runs near the start a good strat?

[devout reef]

Near the start yes

But they fall off in the middle antes

[red briar]

okay, runner is at 90 and green is at 30

[coarse shuttle]

unless you have good jokers for flush

[wintry ice]

what the fuck

[limpid gate]

why are we runnig 3 +multi jokers

[red briar]

i needed more mult

[olive stirrup]

Grimbo was at 43, ride the bus was at 32, I didn't have glass cards that was my mistake

[limpid gate]

Whats the boss

[humble gulch]

I'M SORRY? That's a free sticker 💔 💔

[lyric karma]

Orange blueprint

[red briar]

i havent found anything better to use my slots for so

[limpid gate]

Thats just orangeprint

[lyric karma]

True, true

[wintry ice]

cheart

i already finished the boss

[olive stirrup]

Do i ecto?

[limpid gate]

Rip, not ceruleon

[humble gulch]

"Here, win"

[weak relic]

No

[limpid gate]

Time to wait again

[wintry ice]

my wifi went down so

[humble gulch]

No

[weak relic]

My beloved

[lyric karma]

Where are your uncommons

also i love bbc

[wintry ice]

type shit

[olive stirrup]

WHAT

[red briar]

im telling yall this run is losing

[humble gulch]

Nat negative dusk 🔥

[lyric karma]

BaseBall Card

[limpid gate]

Insane Obelisk, nice

[thick delta]

what’s the move here what do i sell and do i take dna or pareidolia to pair with canio

[olive stirrup]

Do NOT abbreviate baseball card like that please

[lyric karma]

we all do dw

[thick delta]

long term duping glass face cards is better right?

[olive stirrup]

Is bro playing on a xbox?

[wintry ice]

could have gotten it higher but my limit was 15 plays

[thick delta]

yes

[olive stirrup]

I didn't know balatro was for xbox too

[wintry ice]

so i sandbagged less than usual

[red briar]

aaand the run lost

just like i said it would

gg

[waxen sentinel]

these 4 craps got me through checkered deck purple stake by themselves???????

[thick delta]

it’s on gamepass

[weak relic]

Why not?

[limpid gate]

Average x multi W

[lyric karma]

dont call my boy cavendish crap 😿

[thick delta]

still what’s better?

[limpid gate]

Or stencil

[wintry ice]

looks inside
high tier +mult joker and 2 5x mult jokers and cavendish

[limpid gate]

True

[red briar]

even after taking advice i'm still bad

[waxen sentinel]

not calling them crap im just. shocked they were able to do it without more than 4 jokers on purple stake

my flush was only level 2....

[red briar]

guess i'm still to blame for that loss

✌️

[lyric karma]

Welcome to painted deck

[waxen sentinel]

checkered deck actually

[limpid gate]

No wonder you were going flushes

[lyric karma]

Well you just played like painted

[wintry ice]

lvl 2 flush is crazy

[waxen sentinel]

literallyyyyyyy level 2 flush is insane

[lyric karma]

true, true, true

[waxen sentinel]

and i was just throwing caution to the win and skipping EVERY single booster pack

also i picked up the plus 1 joker slot voucher

which boosted the stencils even more

[weak relic]

Even these 2 can carry tbh

[lyric karma]

Antimatter that early????

damn

[waxen sentinel]

do you guys want da seed or smth

[limpid gate]

Nah

I lazy

Unless it had cerulean boss

[lyric karma]

unstoppable force and unmovable object

[limpid gate]

then yes

[waxen sentinel]

it had VIOLET VESSEL. AND I STILL GOT IT WITH LEVEL 2 FLUSH 😭

[limpid gate]

nice

[wintry ice]

what shenanigans could possibly require cerulean bell

[waxen sentinel]

i had some mult cards and they pulled through major time when it came to that x mult coming in effect

[whole wyvern]

Is it good playing it through ante 8 with checkered deck?

[waxen sentinel]

def

checkered deck is basically just flush land 😭

[limpid gate]

I want to leave/rejoin the game on cerulean and see if the card select from cerulean allows me to play a hand while the throwback unlock popup shows up

[red briar]

holy garb shop

[wintry ice]

there are some times where pairs are better on checkered

[olive stirrup]

What do I sell for invis

[wintry ice]

garbage shop
looks inside
order

[lyric karma]

Thw order is huge

[whole wyvern]

Cool!

[olive stirrup]

I had a stroke reading that

[limpid gate]

People hate free xmultis

[whole wyvern]

I'll sit on this deck for a bit 🙂

[wintry ice]

as usual the no good jokers allegations are due to pickiness

[humble gulch]

I fumbled so hard, my head is in the clouds 💔

[limpid gate]

Bugs so complicated it gives jesus a stroke... putting that on my resume

[humble gulch]

Look what I found tho

[red briar]

straights are hard to get

[wintry ice]

look it's order but worse

[lyric karma]

How come you got this idea in the first place 😭

[wintry ice]

you should get them consistently enough with 3 discards

[lyric karma]

man i envy bug finders imagination

[olive stirrup]

Chat what do I sell for invis??

[red briar]

well i don't, that's why my last run ended

[wintry ice]

just don't aim for ace straights

[limpid gate]

Ive... played way to much

I think Ive literally done every interaction in the game I can think of

or atleast testing every area for bugs

[olive stirrup]

Have u done crimson bean?

[limpid gate]

Yeah, who do you think helped find those bugs

[red briar]

one straight is never enough to actually kill most blinds

[wintry ice]

that's wrong as long as you find some saturns

[limpid gate]

With the order and a consistent leveling... disagree? maybe Im wrong

If Vics saying it Im not wrong

[wintry ice]

you can also get some random +mult and chip jokers to help

[red briar]

didn't i tell you i already lost the run that had the order

[wintry ice]

hell this applies to gold stake

[limpid gate]

Skill issue... (idk what the run was like)

[wintry ice]

this has like a quarter the scoring requirements

guys

[limpid gate]

💀

[humble gulch]

Surely I can't lose this one

[red briar]

sigh bro

what a slog

[slow iris]

gros dies and cavendish is in the shop right after

🔥

[red briar]

it just isnt

[cursive lion]

Buy luchador just in case

Maybe reroll once?

[limpid gate]

Dont hate on my boy luchador, he allows me to play the same round infinitely
And throwback Ive gotten to over 100x

[olive stirrup]

Do i wraith for 12$?

[olive stirrup]

Actually impossible

[limpid gate]

Not with glitches it aint

[wintry ice]

no the blue seal is better

[cursive lion]

I think the main issue is that throwback scales when you skip so it can be hard to scale depending on your ithernjokers

[wintry ice]

just reroll?

[cursive lion]

Doesn't deserve all the hate but it’s a weak xmult joker in a lot of cases

[limpid gate]

Agreed

[cursive lion]

I usually only pick it up on anayglth

[limpid gate]

but it definitely isnt bad

[cursive lion]

Also I love the art itself too

[slow iris]

it does

[limpid gate]

same

[wintry ice]

1 entire round isn't ever worth 0.25x mult

[limpid gate]

smh but I need that guy for my bugs

[wintry ice]

in the optimal case it's a polychrome

[limpid gate]

so like skill issue for yall playing legit

[wintry ice]

it's not completely terrible

but it's not very good either

[cursive lion]

Nah it’s negative it’s like flash card scales naturally
