[olive stirrup]

Like theres only room for chips in plasma

[echo sphinx]

yep

[rugged bloom]

For baron mime, the scoring will be
1.5^(H*(S*(1+R)))

[olive stirrup]

Yeah that's how it works

[fringe nebula]

i felt really glad the moment i see popcorn lmao

rerolled deep at ante 1 with $60, and i couldn't find any +mult except level 2 flush 😭

[rugged bloom]

Where H is the handsize, S is the number of things that give 1.5x mult (steel + number of barons)

And R is the number of retriggers (red seal + copies of mime)

[zenith raven]

Ah I see. So if I have two barons and 1 mime it becomes 7? Two barons two mimes it becomes 10

[rugged bloom]

Do you have red steel?

[zenith raven]

Yes

Wait

[echo sphinx]

holy

[rugged bloom]

So it would be (2+1)*(1+1+1)

So that's 9

[median grove]

is retrigger all "card held in hand abilities" good?

[zenith raven]

8 and 11? Lol my math is going out the window

[rugged bloom]

You're making some mistake

[zenith raven]

It’s not being asleep

[median grove]

for any build? even straight builds?

[rugged bloom]

Depends

It certainly doesn't harm

[echo sphinx]

mime adds a retrigger with the red seal (so, 3 total)

unless im wrong and im dumb

[rugged bloom]

It gives extra money from gold cards, extra planets from blue seals, and extra score with steel cards

[zenith raven]

But thank you makes sense. Def sell troub here then. Each card so much deadlier, having 2 less no big deal

[edgy stone]

Idk why everytime I take Popcorn it's always perishable. Is it higher chance for non eternal joker?

[night bridge]

It depends on how easy you deck fix or draw the things you want to retrigger but it translates to more gold, more planets, more score

[zenith raven]

I don’t think red seal itself can be retriggered, as it’s a retrigger itself

[rugged bloom]

Yes

[echo sphinx]

ye

[rugged bloom]

A red seal in of itself does not increase your score

It retriggers the things that give you score

Same with mime

Baron and steel cards give you score

[echo sphinx]

LOL NEGATIVE PANTS FROM A JUDGEMENT

[rugged bloom]

And red seal and mimes increase the times they're triggered

[rugged bloom]

Bro got fishnets

[echo sphinx]

and i lost cuz i gambled on the buffoon pack

such is gambling

[zenith raven]

I’m praying for a blue print here 🙏. Would get the extra mime/baron and an extra cryptid each turn.

Appreciate the help understanding the triggers! @rugged bloom

[rugged bloom]

No worries

I understand that the math can be kinda complicated sometimes

[edgy stone]

Nice! But can you survive with 3 hands?

[fringe nebula]

just ur feeling probably

i mean, popcorns are perishables anyway

[echo sphinx]

no i died cuz Manacle blocked twopair

blue joker wouldve brought this run forward

[rugged bloom]

Me when I get my Ante 8 Boss Blind as the Verdant Leaf, so I sell out of my Chicot

[edgy stone]

If u pls can I have your seed?

[flat tiger]

somehow misprint made the chart

[echo sphinx]

fuc

[rugged bloom]

Mine is smiley face

[plain briar]

ig a brainstorm goes

someone pray up an ecto

🙏🏿

[teal thunder]

mmmmmm

[edgy stone]

Im always proud of my boy "raised fist" saved me a lot in early and always keep as a core Joker for winning

[narrow scroll]

infinite money

[teal thunder]

i got a cartomancer from the buffoon pack, i think ima try rolling for a non eternal rebate

oml the cartomancer gave me a judgement of raised fist

now we have something

[echo sphinx]

holy greedy

[echo sphinx]

infnite money

[teal thunder]

it paid off

[narrow scroll]

balatro's a gambling game 😭

[plain briar]

3rd invis this run

[fringe nebula]

hoooooooooooooooly shit, GPE95S9L

a roller coaster from the start until the end

[zenith raven]

Ended up getting blueprint

So if I’m understanding correctly, as long as my baron/mime ratio is balanced, it’ll be optimal? 3 mimes/2 barons

[teal thunder]

sometimes

[narrow scroll]

i think 3 barons might be more optimal
since you have a retrigger already with the red seal

[olive stirrup]

Finally encountered a full joker

[zenith raven]

Oh really? I’ll try that now. Just got this from the past run. Time to test. Thanks!

[echo sphinx]

help my lobster is too buttery

[fringe nebula]

get a grabber first, and then we talk about how buttery your lobster is

[echo sphinx]

thats true

should i voucher skip

[fringe nebula]

please actually try to win

[echo sphinx]

damn

[narrow scroll]

is eternal ante 1 chaos the clown a take on gold stake black deck?

[fringe nebula]

yes

[echo sphinx]

yep

[fringe nebula]

$5 per round is worth it i'd say

[olive stirrup]

Do i take dice?

[fringe nebula]

especially on stupid black deck

[echo sphinx]

ah crep the run is a bit joever

The Needle is here

[lofty vault]

Guys balatro is a video game

[narrow scroll]

sometimes
have you ever played balatro with your life on the line

[lofty vault]

If I eat 8 jack in the box tacos then play a gold stakes match does that count

No wait 9 I ate one while going home

Definitely too many tacos but ah well

[narrow scroll]

[lofty vault]

Gonna die while playing balatro of taco poisoning

[teal thunder]

chat who should i murder

[lofty vault]

Is the deck thin enough

[teal thunder]

almost

[lofty vault]

Could probably trim the rest with just tarots

[teal thunder]

true, but i lost my tarot generation when i sold the cartomancer and that has left me scrambling for hung men

[lofty vault]

That's like 5 hanged then 2 more for the stones

But like deaths and stuff so less

[teal thunder]

youre right tho, rip trading card

too good to pass up on

[lofty vault]

Unlucky with the rentals

You are not allowed to have money that run

[teal thunder]

lmao

[teal thunder]

i have been the luckiest i have been in a long time with hermits and money shots

i have been very rich this run

🤑

[lofty vault]

Rentals gonna bleed you dry

Get below interest so you lose more money

[plain briar]

4th invis

[teal thunder]

too bad im not poormaxxing

[lofty vault]

Gotta stay broke for speculative vagabond

The speculation is you'll actually find him

[inland jetty]

does cryptid come with the abilioty to disable animtions?

ability*

[lofty vault]

I'm fairly certain that's a different mod but I have 0 idea

[teal thunder]

would honestly murder sock for a 6th sense

[lofty vault]

Me when I'm in a laundry room and I see a singular sock that doesn't go to any other sock

[thick citrus]

Idk why but I just did it
I got steam balatro on my phone

[echo sphinx]

lol this is pretty bad

[flat tiger]

you still buy it for 1 no? and can sell when needed

[echo sphinx]

ye ig

its a fill in for temperance true

[rugged bloom]

+$1

[echo sphinx]

works half the time cuz rn i dont have maxed interest

so sus

[wintry ice]

i'd sell baron for both jokers atp

[frozen tendon]

what's scoring the least here?

i'm assuming half but with a lvl 15 pair is 50 chips needed or mult?

and supernova is more than half if that isn't obvious

[echo sphinx]

idk probably the half

[frozen tendon]

just found an ice cream, def the half now?

i have to sell one for final boss that's why i ask

[void lintel]

are you relying on played cards to score?

[teal thunder]

never found an idol rip

[void lintel]

if not then you can ignore verdant

[teal thunder]

or a red seal

or an ecto

;-;

[frozen tendon]

oh shi i'm dumb asf

i just beat it but i sold half haha

[void lintel]

at least you beat it

[teal thunder]

womp womp

[teal thunder]

never found a sixth sense ;-;

[teal thunder]

how?

[frozen tendon]

i mean

looking at your joker lineups i'm sure the econ wasn't great

[thick citrus]

U can’t play with mods

[frozen tendon]

so ofc you won't find everything

[teal thunder]

econ was fine actually

and had max overstock

just got unlucky with the shop rolls lol

[echo sphinx]

insane

[ember glen]

i hate the water so much
black deck gs and had a canio

[maiden peak]

What am I supposed to do now😭

[ember glen]

play queens with kings in hand

[loud flicker]

Win

[frozen tendon]

damn i lost my streak

ofc it was a castle game

[fringe nebula]

how many streak?

[frozen tendon]

7, not sure if that's impressive, they're all higher stakes, this one was the lowest one funny enough

damn nebula deck

[lime remnant]

whats the general plan here

dna? then burglar?

or another ecto and voucher skip for paint brush

[fringe nebula]

chat hear me out

[proper pollen]

blueprint on it means that it squares like plasma

also double e150 is just e150

[frozen tendon]

erm non optimal cards played

[finite heron]

How many hands is that

[proper pollen]

2

[fringe nebula]

ok but it's exact 15 mil

look at the score

[frozen tendon]

that was kinda sick actually i take it back

[flat tiger]

is marble cert hologram a busted combo or is DNA spam still better

[fringe nebula]

certificate > dna > marble

i'd say

[flat tiger]

I only got hologram to 17.75 when I forgot to swap blurprint and died

[lime remnant]

lil help

[smoky niche]

green boy or shortcut

i guess green is good for pairslop

[exotic silo]

perkeo + incantation + hologram 😈

[fringe nebula]

shortcut for fun

grimbo for real play

[smoky niche]

i should have taken the shortcut becayse the next shop has 4 fingers

for the ultimate straight play

and then i die on small blind

[echo sphinx]

hate this guy

why?

[lime remnant]

its always the blueprint in ante 1 round 1/2

[fringe nebula]

how did you die again

[flat tiger]

always greed ante1, you dont get to greed later on

[frozen tendon]

they are so cute

[echo sphinx]

which should i scale

[fringe nebula]

both

[echo sphinx]

no 3oak

like i can only pick one at a tme

[fringe nebula]

so much econ damn

[echo sphinx]

do i prio straight or dont care and just see if it shows up or not

[vestal copper]

alternate them maybe

[fringe nebula]

if you need chips then yes

scale runner

[echo sphinx]

ogei

[flat tiger]

one of them you cant sell tough

[fringe nebula]

brother there's literally a luchador before you face needle

[granite sandal]

this constellation is gonna be so huge

[wet jackal]

Fellas, I finally beat black deck on gold stake

The road to completionist+ is gonna be smooth sailing from here

[fringe nebula]

yeah man you kinda threw by not taking luchador, knowing that the next boss blind is needle

[fringe nebula]

gg

[echo sphinx]

ye 😔

[lime remnant]

my wee

[echo sphinx]

i need to figure out how to play better

[fringe nebula]

your mistake is pretty simple on this seed

[echo sphinx]

skip?

[fringe nebula]

space joker could be a replacement for runner

[echo sphinx]

:thonk:

ill atke it

[fringe nebula]

i would take space joker yeah

and them try to level up pair

econ is not really an issue because of riff raff

[granite sandal]

oh my goodness

[vestal copper]

goated

i unironically struggled with green stake on black deck im so cooked 😭

[fringe nebula]

i mean

red stake killed black deck

literally

those $3 from ante 1 small blind is very crucial for black deck honestly

[vestal copper]

yeah -3 buck is kinda sad

damn my ass got confused there

but yeah green on black already felt like gold in a way

i managed to get a blackboard bs trio c9 run and win but that was quite lucky

[fringe nebula]

2 winstreak gold stake black deck that i did is harder than 11 winstreak on magic deck

[vestal copper]

makes sense

[vestal copper]

also i played the entire run forgetting about the extra slot

hieroglyph on black is almost always a trap right

[flat tiger]

it took me quite a while to get used to not having the $3 when I start red

or I should say took time to adjust

which mostly just consists of, pray you can draw enough flsuh/straight/usable joker

[granite sandal]

in other news, i'm only 7 stakes away from c+, and only 2 of them are gold stake

i need to beat magic on gold stake and then erratic on green stake and up

[flat tiger]

is C++ just have a build that dont use all the joker slot so you buy whatever trash joker at the final shop?

[granite sandal]

sometimes

another way to cheese it is to get lucky and find a negative skip tag on anaglyph deck

[echo sphinx]

by the slimmest of margins

[wet jackal]

For worse jokers, yeah pretty much

The entire reason I have a gold sticker on popcorn is because I had a photochad run going and decided I could farm a couple stickers on random jokers

And popcorn just made sense to get a sticker on, seeing as food items are supposedly really difficult to get a sticker for

[echo sphinx]

and then lost on small blind

[drowsy rain]

I am engaging in some funny business

[flat tiger]

or you happen to have sell joker boss ante 7 and dont find anythign better

so you have a random joker getting stickered

[echo sphinx]

om

[simple jacinth]

take the bull

[drowsy rain]

o7

Thanks plasma deck

You did nothing

[simple jacinth]

F

[drowsy rain]

None of them died though so they lived a happy life

[echo sphinx]

i lost

the gros michel died and i forgot to replace

it lived for 1 round

[flat tiger]

somewhere someone is gonna get Cavendish broke on first round

[echo sphinx]

im gonig to regret this pick

[fringe nebula]

put riff raff to the right side of madness

please

[echo sphinx]

(wait whats wrong)

[fringe nebula]

if you put riff to the right, madness destroy first, and then riff raff gemerate jokers

[echo sphinx]

ooo

i didnt get tht run far

damn

learning something new

lol

shouldve not gmbled

or do i

+$1 🤑

[fringe nebula]

temperance for $1 profit

or keep it until you have 6 jokers and then pop off temperance

[echo sphinx]

true
do i rush for temprance value or just build interest

[stone shell]

i would just buy whatever jokers i find valuable regardless of interest

[still pike]

Win?

[stone shell]

since temperance is likey giving ~$10 dollars to kickstart interest

[stone shell]

polychrome jimbo spotted, ggez

[echo sphinx]

ic

[still pike]

Lost

[echo sphinx]

i threw the run i bought hieroglyth

[fringe nebula]

oh

[echo sphinx]

die

its on me

[fringe nebula]

i won a bd gs run after taking hiero before

[stone shell]

at least you can admit that 👍

[echo sphinx]

lets see if this run can still make it

[fringe nebula]

even worse, both hiero and petro

[stone shell]

if you lose send the seed i wanna see if varv could win while forcefully taking hiero

[echo sphinx]

petro is a decent pick imo

[fringe nebula]

oh right ral

[echo sphinx]

i need to remember to post the end scene for next time.

[fringe nebula]

wanna try a very interesting seed i found?

[echo sphinx]

sure

[stone shell]

still busy over the weekend and stuff 🥲

[fringe nebula]

understandable

[fringe nebula]

you want to try?

[echo sphinx]

twopair

[echo sphinx]

i might be making worse decisions but ill try

[stone shell]

get holographic on clever

(thats clever joker right)

[fringe nebula]

clever

mad and clever

you are mad and clever for doing 2pair

[stone shell]

i should give a name to the 10 common jokers

for hands

[echo sphinx]

lottery pulled out a negative

that's a first

[scenic sigil]

I got a polychrome photo from it yesterday. I didn't even know editions were possible

[echo sphinx]

i forgot to check my chip scaling

i ded

[fringe nebula]

seed

[echo sphinx]

@fringe nebula seed?

[scenic sigil]

Does judgment also do editions?

[echo sphinx]

can i tab out of this

[fringe nebula]

close game

[echo sphinx]

fric theres no run history either

that would be pretty nice for me personally

[scenic sigil]

Try turning off and on again

[fringe nebula]

close game and continue

[echo sphinx]

the run died

[fringe nebula]

GPE95S9L, magic deck gold stake

i beat it unseeded but lmao

[echo sphinx]

idt it works

[stone shell]

clicked out of instinct and my goat is there ❤️

[fringe nebula]

loyalty card is your goat?

[echo sphinx]

wait thats gros michel

god daym

[fringe nebula]

can you beat violet vessel while having loyalty card, ramen and steel as your only xmult

[echo sphinx]

ill just play red deck cuz thats the one i got golded

[fossil torrent]

if only

[echo sphinx]

interesting, i already made a different choice

i took eternal riff

[scenic sigil]

I can sense the pairslop

[stone shell]

one of my unconventional ones

[echo sphinx]

time to make cash

riche

[stone shell]

my reserved parking has missed all this before

[echo sphinx]

it do be like that sometimes

[white forge]

$53 eris

[echo sphinx]

WAOH

oops frgot boss blind and failed

[stone shell]

what're you copying tho

[echo sphinx]

woe si me

[echo sphinx]

god knows

[stone shell]

the riff raff

[white forge]

4 joker a round is big Econ

[echo shard]

Stg if I somehow throw this

Invis joker hit

[echo sphinx]

watch this man greed on the last round and not score enough

[echo shard]

I will

It wouldn't be the first time

Just the first time on gold stake

[echo sphinx]

om

[stone shell]

theres not even enough space unless youre on black deck 😭

[flat tiger]

how do you use campfire and when should i take it

[stone shell]

treat campfire as like the final push for a build if its not scoring what you need

its just buy and sell consumables

[flat tiger]

you need to sell 8 cards to even reach the power of banana card sharp or acro

[stone shell]

its not that difficult especially with good econ

[echo sphinx]

assume you dont get card sharp or cavendish or acro

xmult is xmult

[flat tiger]

when I got it I am most likely already screwed except that one time it stays in hand because it comes with negative

[echo shard]

I'm so greedy

[fringe nebula]

finally

[echo sphinx]

holy guacomole

[echo sphinx]

lol what

seed later

[stone shell]

how do you think i felt after struggling to find xmult for 7 antes 😭

[echo sphinx]

i should try that deck

[fringe nebula]

ok we win now

grabber too

[echo shard]

will do

Guess what

It hit

But I literally have nothing to use them for

[echo sphinx]

i gamble and remain unpunished

[echo sphinx]

copy Dusk xd

[echo shard]

Well yeah lmao

[fringe nebula]

how was the run

[echo sphinx]

interesting

i died to my own greed

[vestal copper]

dying to greed is so me

[echo sphinx]

3oak, 4oak, or 5oak

choices.

[flat tiger]

pairs

[echo sphinx]

lol

i need to check planet scaling or smsh

5oak is 4oak but +5 chip

damn that sh ain worth

[echo shard]

Brother

[echo sphinx]

lmao

[echo shard]

What is this seed

[echo sphinx]

imagine if that's a triboulet

no shot

[echo shard]

Never did I think I would have to sell a blueprint

[echo sphinx]

paradolia when

[fringe nebula]

was that triple death?

[echo shard]

Canio sadly

[echo sphinx]

triple Strength

5 cards became Ace instnatly

[fringe nebula]

oh good

i would shout like crazy if you actually used triple death on aces instead of blue seal

[echo sphinx]

the king rank is completely gone

[fringe nebula]

also, 4oak ig

4oak steel strat is pretty good

[echo sphinx]

neato

[fringe nebula]

BD7KVR3V, magic deck gold stake

the earlygame is kind of tricky to navigate through if you want to try

[echo sphinx]

im on red atm om

now im thinking
which suit is best?

im thinking diamonds cuz money

but

[fringe nebula]

if you want money go diamond ig

[echo sphinx]

what should be the default when there's no direction

[fringe nebula]

spades or clubs

for blackboard

[echo sphinx]

right

and seeing double

[fringe nebula]

and seeing double teue

[echo sphinx]

okok

[vestal copper]

heart is the worst suit right

[fringe nebula]

true

[echo sphinx]

i see the vision

[echo sphinx]

its the BEST suit cuz u could proc bloodstone 5 times!!!

[vestal copper]

[echo shard]

Lovely

[echo sphinx]

LOL

rip

thanks for your seedy

[echo shard]

Np lmao

Greed always pays off

[echo sphinx]

did you reroll at sm point to get the blueprint

[flat tiger]

does red seal make chad retrigger 3 times or just 1

[echo shard]

Can't recall but I think no

[echo sphinx]

one more retrigger corresponding to the red seal

[echo shard]

If I did it was only once or twice

Before ante 3 with a hieroglyph

[echo sphinx]

cuz im relady past it

[echo shard]

I mustve

It would be hilarious if one of those 12 jokers replaced it

[fringe nebula]

money

[echo sphinx]

nahhhhhhh

[fringe nebula]

[echo sphinx]

OMMMMMMmnious Obelisk

here, win

literally cant lose

[fringe nebula]

do NOT take

sock chad + enhancement cards are miles better than vampire

[echo sphinx]

which one

i took the mail

[echo sphinx]

ye

[fringe nebula]

i think invis copying chad or sock is better

while keeping trading card ofcourse

[echo sphinx]

yep

hoping for more retriggers

[fringe nebula]

vagabond on magic deck is sooooo good

the +1 consumable slot really make a difference

just some classic red card + midas mask combo

[next garden]

Now this is one hell of a line up for the fragile challenge

[echo sphinx]

lets do it again

[echo sphinx]

ikr

[bitter schooner]

Chat. Today i fumbled a great stake run because i played pair instead high card on accident

[stark charm]

Glass card

[echo sphinx]

speculative value six sense

what rank to sticker it on.

thonk

lets try quene

[stark charm]

Six sense feel really nice if you have joker slot left , 6 do almost nothing anyways and you get spectral card

[echo shard]

[fringe nebula]

i'm thinking about doing full pivot towards mime fist

maybe i'll just take mime

[vernal breach]

[fringe nebula]

ALWAYS TRUST IN LUCKY CARD

[random lark]

is this anti synergy

[fringe nebula]

i hate the tooth so much

no matter what kind of build you're doing, the tooth is just there to annoy you

[smoky niche]

how balatro feels giving me souls when i already have a winning setup

[random lark]

but you need the gold sticker

[smoky niche]

i am far away from c++

[random lark]

better to get the legendary gold stickers earlier than later

[smoky niche]

surely i will come by souls eventually

i still have the last 4 decks left for c_

c+

[random lark]

mindset of someone who's 145/150 gold stickers

if you see a soul and there's a joker you can throw away then always take the soul

[smoky niche]

im only 32/150 i have plenty of time 🙏

[smoky niche]

i mean yeah i think this is normal

[random lark]

32/150 with most decks beaten on gold stake?

[smoky niche]

trib on abandoned deck 🔥

[random lark]

that's a lot of overlap

[smoky niche]

yeah my stats are 21% on joker stickers and 73% on decks 💀

[bitter schooner]

I just skipped 3 dice. And then a bloodstone appears. Yall always takr a speculative dice

[smoky niche]

a bit too much photochad

[random lark]

i have like 60% sticker progress and i'm on low stakes checkered deck playing every deck in order

[smoky niche]

i played white stake and then switched platforms and played gold stake

so i only have wins in gold stake

i just pressed unlock all

because im lazy

[random lark]

also on last shop you should probably roll to 0 to find a joker you don't have gold stickered

[mental dome]

in total I think it took me 1,073 hours

[smoky niche]

if i have the luxury to do that yeah

[mental dome]

but the majority of that I wasnt trying to get C++

[random lark]

naninf?

[mental dome]

ive not done a naninf run

just chilling and playing as a bedtime cycle down routine

[smoky niche]

how long is your bedtime cycle down routine

3 hours a day

or 2

[mental dome]

maybe 15 minutes lol. balatro on the steam deck puts me to sleep pretty fast after the brain switches off

but I did buy not too long after release

[honest latch]

its been 3 whole minutes bro

[smoky niche]

least modded balatro

[queen kindle]

i have no such weaknesses

[white anvil]

Its insane

I think I've gotten a soul card literally every run

[white anvil]

Bro what

Bro is on ante 40

[honest latch]

talisman mod

[quaint blade]

first time i hit that first hand

[bitter schooner]

Chat tarot stone card (no tarrots or packs) deck when?

[fringe nebula]

no

[teal thunder]

oh my god finally the mime shows up

got my entire deck setup for baron mime before either showed their face 😭

[quartz salmon]

Do I sell rebate or dna?

[teal thunder]

rebate

the game really wants me to go idol

[wintry igloo]

double synergy lets gooo

[teal thunder]

rip this run

couldnt find the baron 💔

[brave goblet]

imagine if certificate could give cards with editions, the way riff raff does

[quartz salmon]

Do I take invis over dna?

[fiery nymph]

its already really good lol 😭😭

would make sense though

[brave goblet]

good to busted 🧠

[spice lance]

PLEASE LET ME PLAY STRAIGHT IN PEACE 😭

[quasi cairn]

should i replace anything with hanging chad? is there any joker cards adjustment i need to do? still learning with the game

[digital pewter]

two more jokers gold stickered, sixth sense and luchador

i had an ice cream before the luchador but because it's common and luchador is uncommon i traded

really glad i got those two out of the way though

[spice lance]

The Plant loves your jokers lol
Get rid of the chip one

[keen pilot]

Should I sell brainstorm for certificate? 15 kings, 0 red seals, 4 sixes

[quasi cairn]

[versed sable]

uhh
i wouldn't

Woah just stumbled upon a seed with a natural negative eternal bloodstone in ante 1

[lapis blade]

Red card

[versed sable]

i'd be tempted to sell burglar and still discard for yorick while holding green

[lapis blade]

I think keep yorick as temperance value truuust

[pure schooner]

Smbody pls help

I need to pivot to canio as fast as possible

[lapis blade]

But if I have x1 mult yorick at whatever ante I am I just die

[stone shell]

no you dont canio will take a while to catch up

[versed sable]

if you can live a round without burglar then you're probably fine

[pure schooner]

what if i glasscard

[stone shell]

you already get 32x from photochadchad alone

[pure schooner]

Okay

[narrow scroll]

yeah
it can still be +2 per round

[keen pilot]

It comes back anyway

[versed sable]

meow

[keen pilot]

COME ON
I was so desperate for a red seal I picked up a red seal stone to check what rank is

[pure schooner]

Nope run dead

[keen pilot]

just what I needed /s

[versed sable]

real

[keen pilot]

pls no

[rancid gull]

The goat alert

[keen pilot]

At least I got high card lvl 61

[nova leaf]

Fuck this boss man

4 scalings and shit still ain't enough for VV

[smoky niche]

luchador in the buffoon pack

chicot in the soul in the arcana pack

[nova leaf]

Good run ig

[keen pilot]

it exists!

Goodbye brainstorm, again

[edgy stone]

Im sure you will need him back again

[quartz salmon]

Do I take invis over dna?

[molten thicket]

yeah

should probably start switching to steel though

[rich mauve]

: (

deserved for using boots

[versed sable]

i wouldn't

[quartz salmon]

Should I pivot to steel tho?

[versed sable]

if you're gonna start needing score yeah
and I assume you will..? it's ante 15

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[midnight talon]

bloodstone with oops all sixs is goated

[worthy tinsel]

The humble the head:

[lunar zealot]

oh i'm cooked

wait nvm

i'm sorry baseball......

[tall sky]

shenanigans

level 30 flush five with funny 7 of diamonds

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[vestal copper]

wise

[vernal breach]

This is correct ratio right?

[south path]

on plasma deck should i focus on getting only chips or do i still get x mult and mult

idk how it works

[worthy tinsel]

Only chips or xmult

[south path]

does x mult multiply the multipler after it averages

i havent checked yet

[shell dagger]

no

averaging happens last

[worthy tinsel]

^

[indigo mesa]

the bloodstone hate is based

[smoky niche]

based? based on what?

[versed sable]

lot of chips early game, into base hand levels and xmult later, ideally

[zenith raven]

Let’s go!!!! Had one reroll left after this, pretty sure DNA was the only joker that could save me

Might actually survive the ante now.

Question, at this point, would using a foil red stamp king or a poly red stamp king be better for my played card? Or is it just negligible.

[indigo mesa]

wait could this save me?

[indigo mesa]

poly, for sure. its not negligible it almost 10xs your scoure (or gives you one extra “e” value.)

[zenith raven]

That’s what I figured. Thanks!

[lavish gazelle]

Based on blood

Like OSHA

[vestal copper]

true

[zenith raven]

20 card hand!

[indigo mesa]

you NEED to do crimson bean fr 🔥

oh no you dont, you have $20

[hearty tundra]

EIGHT gold in one run

[zenith raven]

Well, we’ll see if I survive up until then lol

[vestal copper]

2 nat neg chigoats 🔥

sure ull high roll

[zenith raven]

God that made me nervous. Got to the last card before I saw the fire

[zenith raven]

Yeah I had to roll all my money just to get DNA to survive

[indigo mesa]

bro im so desperate to not die to the plant that i just looked at a seed analyzer and there is not a SINGLE LUCHADOR in the first FIVE HUNDRED cards of this ante.

[brave goblet]

Pairslop pairslop

[indigo mesa]

i was gonna say yay for the 8 ball sticker but alr have c++ lol

[hearty tundra]

This seed had a nat neg hallucination first shop, and later in the run theres another one in the shop

I’ve never seen anything like that

[brave goblet]

Sometimes I wonder about doing another C++ but I'm not about that life

[vestal copper]

black++ :clueless:

[indigo mesa]

WAIT. I HAVE FOUR MIMES. I CAN JUST MAKE STEEL NUMBER CARDS. WTF WAS I THINKING

[vestal copper]

u still can live

get that econ up

and take the hang

[indigo mesa]

dude im in big blind and i just steeled the red seal stone. IT WAS A JACK ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

[brave goblet]

oh hell nah

I tried black deck again not so long ago and got my ass kicked

[gentle basalt]

Why would you take that risk, its only one additional retrigger, which is not much compared to 4 mimes (its only an additional mime)

[indigo mesa]

what are you talking about
the plant is coming up i need scoring from anything but face cards as soon as possible

i savescummed anyways

[gentle basalt]

You should have done steel on something else in the first place

[zenith raven]

Showman(other than being a massive gamble), does nothing for me right? I need an ecto or by some miracle a nat neg invisible joker to make any difference in my future score, right?

[olive stirrup]

Sell gift card bro

[indigo mesa]

i savescummed so its not a problem

[indigo mesa]

i hate to say it but i think your cooked no matter what you do, unfortunately these antes were not meant to be played with $38… it would be nice if u still had some gold in ur deck but u have 362 cards so i highly doubt that

[wicked meteor]

Do you want to solo multi

LVNQS

:))

[zenith raven]

Yeah not one single gold stamped card. And at this point I can’t even use it, because that would break my DNA and I’d die right away lol

Ye I die at Ante 24 lol

[indigo mesa]

WAIT DOES THIS OOPS SAVE ME

[wicked meteor]

:))

Yo

[indigo mesa]

im selling mime i need a chance

[wicked meteor]

Do you want to solo multi
LVNQS

[molten thicket]

we love double immolate over here

[wicked meteor]

Nice

[zenith raven]

@indigo mesa it’s possible I even die at ante 23 boss lol. Even one single none red stamped king in my starting hand would end the run for me lol

Still have a few other cards left

[indigo mesa]

😭

[molten thicket]

what the fuck.

[indigo mesa]

endless runs suck

well

time to (probably) die

[zenith raven]

I’m loving it, never had a run this long. Haven’t really attempted the mime+baron build until yesterday tho.

But yeah I’ve been playing this run since last night. Soooo freaking long

[austere whale]

Does judgement joker order reset every ante

[olive stirrup]

Def sell troubador for dna, and poly has 1.5x base mult so it's better

[zenith raven]

Ugh bloodstone lol

[vague ferry]

Jokerless win

[molten thicket]

endless runs are really long without speedup mods like saturn and stuff

[austere whale]

Bcus on my last gold stake seed (9U35H47P) on abandoned deck, i got a blueprint and a brainstorm from judgements from a superposition

[surreal charm]

whats the reason for holding on to the dna

[zenith raven]

Oh I most certainly did

[zenith raven]

I have 4 copy cards, so it adds 4 extra cards to my hand

[indigo mesa]

HOLY SHIT.

[zenith raven]

Then with 5 cryptids, I can get my hand size to 20

[indigo mesa]

I HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

[surreal charm]

is that better than another blueprint/brainstorm/mimebaron

like thats what youd sell for the showman right

i havent done the math im just asking

[molten thicket]

its very neglectable

[wicked meteor]

Do you want to solo multi

[pallid mesa]

highest ft ive gotten pre-endless

[zenith raven]

I believe so, I’d have to check the math. But also, I had $38 lol @surreal charm

[wicked meteor]

Nad

[austere whale]

What do i even do after C++

[surreal charm]

i mean yeah without econ you arent gonna get much further anyways

[wicked meteor]

Nanif

[pallid mesa]

if you haven't naninfed yet, do that

[wicked meteor]

Cryptip

Mod

[austere whale]

I guess, but thats just one run so it probably won’t take me THAT long

[wicked meteor]

Multi

[zenith raven]

Ideally, if I had Econ, I’d prob grab the showman, try to get an ecto, then get a blue print and a DNA

[austere whale]

Also im on mobile so i cant do modded

[surreal charm]

multiplayer, gold stake speedruns, mods, do it again, go outside, make love to a woman, watch a movie, your call

[zenith raven]

Blueprint OR mime would do actually

[surreal charm]

get it not on mobile and run it back

[wicked meteor]

Mime baron chicot
Or mime baron burglar
Or perkeo gost

[austere whale]

YOU CAN MAKE LOVE TO WOMEN IN BALATRO???!
-# and i thought c++ was gonna be hard, thats gonna be impossible

[heavy heron]

this is very insightful

[pallid mesa]

ugh still need g-needle and jokerless for all chal

pain.

[wicked meteor]

LVNQS

[heavy heron]

after i beat C++ i just kept playing gold stake runs occasionally for fun

honestly i was looking forward to beating C++ so i could just

start playing gold stake

[wicked meteor]

Or play gold stake like roff

[heavy heron]

it’s all i’ve done since..

LOOLLL

[wicked meteor]

LVNQS

Multi

:)))))

[molten thicket]

gold stake sweat

how do you play this much balatro

[wicked meteor]

Nad no i want to play multi with me

[heavy heron]

kinda what happens after over a year

[wicked meteor]

Pls

LVNQS

[molten thicket]

after gsing some decks i retired and now i only play plasma white lol

[calm furnace]

most free win of all time i finished this run in 10 minutes

[wicked meteor]

Bruh

[calm furnace]

6th sense gave me a wraith

wraith gave me stuntman

then i find paro

and the rest is history

[molten thicket]

not the place to play multiplayer

if you want to play multiplayer go to modding general or the balatro multiplayer server

[wicked meteor]

I don't join this discord multi

[heavy heron]

that’s actually pretty reasonable

i’ve never tried actually playing endless but

[calm furnace]

canio is so freeeeeeeeeeeee

[heavy heron]

i wonder how that’d go

[molten thicket]

i just play for the brainrot

for the ding! ding! ding!

very fun

[wicked meteor]

:))

[flat warren]

Spending 8 hours on my phone playing Balatro at work is nice 😎

[olive stirrup]

NOOOOOO

I had my deck fixed for hearts

[quasi cairn]

unlucky

[molten thicket]

boy what the hell

[zenith raven]

Ugh that’s the worst

[molten thicket]

IT WAS PERKEO LMAOOOO

[true shadow]

FELLAS WHEEL JUST HIT TWICE

[olive stirrup]

Do i take red card?

[coarse dew]

no

half joker gets you through blinds for early game well

sell value is the same too

[vestal copper]

gg naneinf

[vestal copper]

yeah

[coarse dew]

actually?

[vestal copper]

scaling is very important

[molten thicket]

ok this is the most nervous ive been playing balatro

[vestal copper]

red card is rlly powerful

[molten thicket]

i can't choke this

[coarse dew]

what's the scaling again

i might be forgetting

[vestal copper]

+3 mult per pack skipped

[coarse dew]

early on actually valid

i take it back

[vestal copper]

i mean it can also have more value later on

[coarse dew]

yeahh

good base mult

[vestal copper]

pmuch

[coarse dew]

and celestial packs can be skipped if you wanna scale more

gold stake sucks ass dude

i bottom decked 5 kings and 9s

[vestal copper]

it can be quite hard with low rolls

[coarse dew]

with 15 cards left

[versed sable]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[vestal copper]

<@&1133519078540185692>

[coarse dew]

oh hell nah

😭

[craggy hearth]

Ban

[vestal copper]

taxevasion~1

[craggy hearth]

Bam

[versed sable]

ty

[vestal copper]

mr beast sure is generous today

[versed sable]

real

[serene forge]

LMFAO

😭

[versed sable]

amazing

[vestal copper]

already won

[viral raft]

opinions on Walkie Talkie? imo is below average is think playing around 4s isn't even worthy and the amount of chips/mult that you get isn't that good to make builds around it

[versed sable]

fine earlygame

[viral raft]

yeah

[vestal copper]

its decent for early game that's it

[serene forge]

WHAT

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP

[vestal copper]

here win

[heavy heron]

ankh in spectral

[viral raft]

like walkie talkie should be a build joker

[heavy heron]

ankh in spectral

[viral raft]

GG WP

[serene forge]

unfortunate

[heavy heron]

DAMN

[viral raft]

familiar is ok

[vestal copper]

damn

[livid scroll]

violet vessel on jokerless challenge is nuts

[icy vessel]

My big naturals..

Oighh

[viral raft]

yep

[heavy heron]

gotta stock up on glass and steel

[icy vessel]

My big naturals...

[livid scroll]

that's what i did

phew

[fickle trellis]

seance just along for the ride ✌️

[heavy heron]

i actually feel like doing jokerless now

[livid scroll]

straights are just straight up broken

unarguably better than flushes in most occasions

[icy vessel]

Hetero wins

[livid scroll]

yup

[fickle trellis]

all fun n games until you dig up 50 cards from your deck and not a SINGLE one is the 10 you need

[livid scroll]

life is about taking some risks

[versed sable]

well don't look for inside straight draws smh..

[livid scroll]

and of course there's deckfixing behind straights

[serene forge]

it ain't every day you're leaving ante 2 with a x6 poly joker

[vernal breach]

So close

Im at e100

[serene forge]

dude it just keeps getting better

[vestal copper]

yeah everything is better than flushes

[rich mauve]

I lost

[vestal copper]

(we don't talk about full house)

[livid scroll]

full house scaling def needs a buff

[fickle trellis]

cartomancer seems like it could work so well with vampire until it gives you the star several times in a row

just put the arcana packs in the bag gng

[vestal copper]

mega arcana pack jumbo arcana pack

[fleet cobalt]

Skipping in gold stake and winning is something

[south path]

wait why is flush bad

[vestal copper]

THROWBACK

[pallid bone]

i lost The Game because of these thx

[south path]

i just spam flushes in checkered deck

[vestal copper]

bad scaling not that reliable bad synergies

[south path]

wym bad scaling

[vestal copper]

its pretty bad

worst of a 5 card hand

[rich mauve]

4 flush levels doesn't pass 100 chips ✌🏻

[south path]

ohh

[fleet cobalt]

+2 mult per level is trash

[rich mauve]

it's so bad that I don't remember mult

[vestal copper]

+2

flush is just not viable

[serene forge]

aw

[rich mauve]

at least it's usable

[keen pilot]

Big oof
Got a voucher skip on the current blind

[south path]

dude i played two two pairs and a three of a kind and i didnt even notice it was the psychich

i had a super good run too

[vestal copper]

psychic is so bad at low amount of hours

[fickle trellis]

counterpoint: bloodstone makes my brain release dopamine when it hits good

[vestal copper]

bloodstone flushes........

[serene forge]

bruh

[rich mauve]

seeing bloodstone already drops my dopamine levels

[vestal copper]

foolishness~1

[vestal copper]

same

[fickle trellis]

few days ago i got an oops + bloodstone + lucky cat run

drools

[serene forge]

entering ante 5 with x14 shiny yorick

[icy vessel]

Me when baron and mine even though its ante 7 wo steel kings

[rich mauve]

bloodstone can beat halfsies at being a half joker

[serene forge]

yeah sure ok

[ancient gyro]

rare fork gs gameplay

[serene forge]

eight fucking discards

[fickle trellis]

the water is coming for you

[ancient gyro]

what's water gonna do

[vestal copper]

kill scaling for one round

[worthy tinsel]

+2 mult is ok
but +15 chips is sad

[vestal copper]

no htr might be a bit of a problem

[serene forge]

oh no my end result will be a x29 yorick instead of a x30 yorick oh nooo

[vestal copper]

actually nvm i forgot yorick

[fickle trellis]

water ended two of my runs earlier

[south path]

wait what has the best scaling thats not something like royal flush

[worthy tinsel]

If I wanted dopamine with flushes I would rather AJ than

[south path]

do straights have good scaling

[worthy tinsel]

Yes

[ancient gyro]

yeah

[fickle trellis]

straights have way better scaling than flushes

[worthy tinsel]

+3 mult and +30 chips

[vestal copper]

one of the strongest

[livid scroll]

proportionally the best

[worthy tinsel]

Flushes have bad scaling bc they are the easiest 5hand to draw

[vestal copper]

(for a decently reliable hand)

that doesn't require much deck fixingf

[fickle trellis]

full house is a funny hand i wish there were more jokers for it

trio and duo merchant

[worthy tinsel]

pants

[vestal copper]

add the home to the base game 🔥

x3 mult if played hand contains a full house

[ancient gyro]

yeah flushes/fh/5oak should have more jokers that should pair well with them as a better poker hand niche opposed to something like straights/4oak that function more like planet scoring glass cannons

[echo sphinx]

fax

[livid scroll]

i feel like flush already has plenty

[fickle trellis]

joker that makes full houses and two pairs count as the same hand. idk how broken it is or how the scoring would work just add that

[vestal copper]

flush has like none

[ancient gyro]

flush doesn't have a lot of good options

[fickle trellis]

add first ask questions later

[gentle basalt]

it has tribe, and maybe AJ

[ancient gyro]

there's aj

[vestal copper]

tribe is so bad omfg

[robust lance]

Not thaaaat bad

[echo sphinx]

i wouldnt count the greed lust wrath stuff as 4 jokers

[ancient gyro]

and half of the mineral uncommon suit jokers are more versatile with pairs

[vestal copper]

why is it the same as fucking duo

[worthy tinsel]

Same reasoning ig

What if it was x2.5

[ancient gyro]

probably to go with the jupiter scaling logic

[fickle trellis]

so that you can have both the duo and the tribe and have them both trigger when that one five you used the lovers on makes it into the same flush hand as another 5

[keen pilot]

FINALLY

[fickle trellis]

OBVIOUSLY

[worthy tinsel]

So mostly on checkered

[keen pilot]

Had no spectrals like.. the whole run

[livid scroll]

nice, you can now pick that ouija

[nova leaf]

How do you even nerf pairs

[vestal copper]

gg judgement

[ancient gyro]

flushes suffer from a similar core component that makes pairs work so well, a good joker selection

[heavy heron]

so uh

regarding that jokerless i felt like doing

yea first try LOOLLL

[echo sphinx]

id say dont nerf them but make other hands stronger

[robust lance]

Exactly what I was thinking

[fickle trellis]

what if instead of ouija it was called weegee and made all your cards into weegee cards that played spadinner sound effects when scored

[ancient gyro]

refer to my blue stake rework from a couple days ago

[fickle trellis]

well i wasn't even here a couple days ago

[vestal copper]

quite a fire one ngl

[robust lance]

Weegee…

[vestal copper]

WEE gee

[livid scroll]

sounds nice, they could also create a negative blueprint when scored

[ancient gyro]

new blue stake: -1 hand, +1 discard
new red stake: small blind payment is only $1
new black deck: +1 joker slot, -1 discard
swap heiro/petro downsides
tweaking certain discard based jokers

[keen pilot]

And it still won't matter cuz I'm dead soon anyway! :D

[serene forge]

what the

[heavy heron]

🤤

[robust lance]

Explain this then

[heavy heron]

now then it into glass

[fickle trellis]

seems balanced. nerf jupiter

[heavy heron]

find a justice and death it for your ante 8

wait are you going pairs

[livid scroll]

nerf earth

[vestal copper]

nerf showman

[fickle trellis]

what the fuck

[livid scroll]

nerf jimbo

[robust lance]

Too far.

[livid scroll]

i mean 4 mult is a lot

[echo sphinx]

nerf blue stake

[rotund igloo]

I admit I was wrong. Obelisk is a good card and is not warranted any hate.

I will hate misprint tho

[vestal copper]

🤝

[serene forge]

that was fun

[vestal copper]

forgiven

[fickle trellis]

i have done one (1) obelisk run and it was a miserable experience
