[mint jetty]

I don't think you need it

[frank notch]

ok

[mint jetty]

You're already set up for chips with castle + andy

GG hardest run of my entire life

[terse vale]

all you need is more xmult and good +mult and you win ez

[cloud minnow]

Would it be better to avoid that one?

[terse vale]

getting rid of andy first would be good incase you still need abstract

[mint jetty]

Nah just the +mult

[terse vale]

vessel kills

probably crimson too 😭

[frank notch]

castle at 200 now

[mint jetty]

I think with andy they can easily pivot to 4oak

And add some glass

[frank notch]

im gonna sell andy if i see xmult or sclaing mult

[fervent pebble]

what am i doing

flush two pair straight build or something

🥹

[terse vale]

oh yeah that makes sense

idk about easily tho

[frank notch]

supernova, blackboard, or double

[terse vale]

I guess it would be good to get glass and small levels

blackboard

wait

nevermind still blackboard

[mint jetty]

They're on ante 3

[frank notch]

all options are eternal

if that helps

[echo sphinx]

oh we are gamblig

[terse vale]

by now they’re on ante 4
and since its kinda hard to score well with 4oak in the first place without card sharp its rare that they’ll get planets from blue seals

so they’d have to get them from packs

[frank notch]

speaking of card sharp

[terse vale]

actually it feels risky to me idk

yeah I guess andy goes for blackboard

[echo sphinx]

last hand

its a wrap

[terse vale]

you do have seals so I guess mult is coming from there too

[echo sphinx]

holy seeing double

[terse vale]

?

well its blackboard here

[echo sphinx]

with cert its a bit sus

blue seal and not being spade club

[terse vale]

not really

at this point they dont need blackboard to activate i’m sure

so they can farm planets

and even later in the game cert is probably gonna equal the suits out anyways

[slender mauve]

where six

[echo sphinx]

eh its purple stake

scoring is a bit tight up there

cant go wrong with 2xmult

[terse vale]

I mean still tho they don’t need it now

they’ll need it later and they’ll get it later

[echo sphinx]

better early than never

[terse vale]

they can still pick up cards too

[terse vale]

:?

[echo sphinx]

xmult is not that common

[terse vale]

they simply don’t need blackboard right now so they can focus on blue seals now

and later they can focus on blackboard

[echo sphinx]

(assuming the blackboard shows up in shop later)

[terse vale]

no I meant for them to take the blackboard now

[echo sphinx]

blue seal dont clash with blackboard

[echo sphinx]

cuz iirc blue seal only works on winning a hand

[terse vale]

immolate

[echo sphinx]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[terse vale]

how are you at 6 dollars

[echo sphinx]

BURN IT ALL

[terse vale]

ya

[echo sphinx]

so why not blackboard if there's no antisynergy

[terse vale]

wait how ARE you at 6 dollars

[terse vale]

yeah i’m saying they should pick blackboard !

[frank notch]

i picked blackboard

[echo sphinx]

yippie

[frank notch]

kill me

[echo sphinx]

(i forgot what i was speaking ngl)

[echo sphinx]

you'll be fine

+mult, +chips, and 2xmult? its a wrap

[frank notch]

no i wont im scoring only 100k each hand after the first

[red sparrow]

:c

[echo sphinx]

just score a bit better

bringing tarots into the Wall can make up the difference

[terse vale]

but its not too much +mult

[terse vale]

hooly shit

[echo sphinx]

is ok they got planet scaling

[echo sphinx]

lol

[terse vale]

I actually hope theres a credit card in the buffoon pack

[echo sphinx]

same ngl

could get the midas

[terse vale]

I mean they could get both !

[red sparrow]

The buffoon

[terse vale]

well holo is cool too

[echo sphinx]

this discord wants the server wants to kill me

[frank notch]

close one

[red sparrow]

But Midas and constellation

[terse vale]

cant afford it

[echo sphinx]

u broke lol

[frank notch]

(i have enough hand levels where duo is better than abstract)

[terse vale]

oooh duo

[echo sphinx]

the duo 🔥

[terse vale]

makes sense

[red sparrow]

I could have gotten the vampire Midas if I was richer

[terse vale]

yes

thats a correct statement

[echo sphinx]

lol

[robust lance]

Just take abstract and leave

[echo sphinx]

+3mult, have to gamble for better

[red sparrow]

At least now I can scal my holo

[echo sphinx]

but ye if i was doing streak gaming id abstract

[robust lance]

You’ll get a good joker next shop

Take abstract

[robust lance]

Use hex you goob

[red sparrow]

I’m an idiot

I lost

[frank notch]

first purple stake win this save

[robust lance]

Wow that’s your first purple EVER???

(Trollface)

[red sparrow]

The new run

[echo sphinx]

lol

[red sparrow]

I’m between ouji and ankh

[fervent pebble]

did it in one shop nice

[terse vale]

immolate

[ebon condor]

no such thing as a bad immolate

[terse vale]

because money?

[ebon condor]

best consumable in the game

[terse vale]

and if you ankhed you’d have 2 joker slots for 100 chips and an average of 11.5 mult

and ouiji does nothing here

[red sparrow]

But I could get double misprint or go for a five of a king build

[frank notch]

20 bucks

[terse vale]

don’t for get the minus one hand size

[ebon condor]

joker slots and -1 handsize make those poor plays

[terse vale]

the best you could do with ouiji is a 3oak build

at best

[robust lance]

I had one (it managed to nuke all of my blue seals (3 (it was early ish)))

[terse vale]

immolate has no downside here

[ebon condor]

if you REALLY need the scoring then maybe ankh

but it does not seem like thats the case

[ebon condor]

that was a good immolate you just didnt see the vision

[red sparrow]

I see no diwnside to that ouija

[robust lance]

my BLUES though…

[ebon condor]

tsk tsk cant hold onto everything

forward progress my friend

[robust lance]

My B L U E S!!!

[ebon condor]

when will they learn

[terse vale]

you will never be able to do a 5oak build here by the way

[ebon condor]

i mean with 8ball its doable

[frank notch]

hand size

[ebon condor]

idk why its ante3 boss round 6 tho interesting play

[terse vale]

maybe but why 5oak

[robust lance]

That emoji looks really damn dumb (in the possibly affectionate way)

[ebon condor]

good question

[frank notch]

like 8 cards set to a RANDOM rank is never worth it

[ebon condor]

4oak is strictly better

[frank notch]

that emoji looks really damn dumb (in the insulting way)

[terse vale]

[robust lance]

Gets 9s (cloud 9 🔥)

[terse vale]

earnest pibbly

[robust lance]

What the fuck.

[terse vale]

honestly it could be good direction if it weren’t for the -1 hand size

[robust lance]

Just get larger hands

[ebon condor]

i mean i do think the 8ball could leave this unpunished

[red sparrow]

I once got aces through it. Then played flus five build

[red sparrow]

I skip a lot

[terse vale]

there had to be something more 💭 and if not then there is no way that’s happening again

by the way sorry if my tone sounds a bit rude

[ebon condor]

probably

[terse vale]

ohhh yeah

[ebon condor]

that was likely the something more

[red sparrow]

It was black stake

[ebon condor]

i mean still relatively forgiving

but hey good on you for getting that to work

[terse vale]

I ggguuuuueeeesssss

[robust lance]

Lucky you said that cause I wanted to say “Mfs play gold stake once and treat anything below as easy mode”

[terse vale]

blue stake is the biggest divider

[robust lance]

Im indifferent

[ebon condor]

hey i try my best not to ridicule new players for being new

[robust lance]

I still play 5 card hands

[olive stirrup]

I once immolated all my poly glass kings

[ebon condor]

w immo

[olive stirrup]

Red sealed btw

[ebon condor]

you can play queens now

(much better)

[terse vale]

I try too but it always goes like
“why are you skipping”
“skips are good”
“no heres why”
“okay but still”

[robust lance]

“It’s fun”

“STOP HAVING FUN!!!!” (Nah I’m kidding)

[olive stirrup]

Def is purple bro

[terse vale]

like I don’t mind if you have fun just don’t use it as an argument

[ebon condor]

i mean yeah sometimes new players dont listen to advice and then complain when they lose and thats annoying

[echo sphinx]

as much as i like to shit on blue stake its not

[terse vale]

photo those chads sock those buskins just don’t make it my problem

[olive stirrup]

Blue is hard asf but purple is like ante 13 to ante 14 scaling on difficulty y'know what i mean?

[ebon condor]

but theres also plenty who genuinely try to improve and i respect that a lot

[robust lance]

First we bala and then we tro 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

[echo sphinx]

purple and red stake are imo bigger dividers than a stake that makes some hands worse

[terse vale]

I see it as like “oh shit I actually have to manage my resources now” but I agree purple is a pretty big jump

[robust lance]

You’re both wrong it’s actually orange

[olive stirrup]

Red stake is NOT the bigger divider bro, it's only 3 dollars left than a normal run

[terse vale]

well blue stake doesn’t juust do that

[frank grove]

Blue stake doesnt really make the game much harder its just meta defining

[red sparrow]

Throwback

[robust lance]

That’s like 50 bucks

[echo sphinx]

per ante
and makes early econ way worse

[terse vale]

I mean its odd for a first stake but idk

[echo sphinx]

if mailed wasn't so strong then the red stake is more felt

[red sparrow]

For me it is none less cause I try to get throwback every run

[olive stirrup]

3 dollars per ante, I think in this game there are some great early econ jokers that def could help with that

[echo sphinx]

lol

[robust lance]

Dude I want those throwbacks

I’m gonna win gold with it

Again

[red sparrow]

My throwback gets to like 6x by the ante 8 boss

[frank grove]

there was this run i did the other day which was stupid

[echo sphinx]

more like cover the gap and then some at the expense of literally nothing

[vestal copper]

get out

[terse vale]

bait ..

[robust lance]

(Peak)

[red sparrow]

I also like Midas and vampire then spamming face cards to bring up vampire

[echo sphinx]

without them the econ in early is tighter

[olive stirrup]

How big of a gap could be 3 dollars in 8 antes bro

Like if u have rebate

[echo sphinx]

lol

[olive stirrup]

Then discarding only 1 card cover the gap

And 2 extra dollars

Allat only by discarding 1 card btw

[echo sphinx]

bro takes the strongest econ joker period

[robust lance]

That’s like 8000000000488352669416942859462528696836253 dollars

[vestal copper]

you need to get econ jokers

[olive stirrup]

24 dollars btw

[vestal copper]

sm blind payment doesnt depend on shit

[frank grove]

like 24 dollars isnt much, but its also compounding if you started with more money at shop one you would start to build interest earlier in a run

[red sparrow]

W serpent

[robust lance]

It could also send you into interest tho so that’s like 8 extra bucks

[olive stirrup]

Yeah that's literally the base of the game, if u don't have econ jokers u can't even win a white stake run

[echo sphinx]

no small blind reward means taking a longer while to get $5 interest

[terse vale]

wait youre actually not kidding

[olive stirrup]

Econ jokers are the key

[terse vale]

its round seven at the ante 5 boss

what

[vestal copper]

u can but sure

[echo sphinx]

skill issue

[red sparrow]

:D

[tall sky]

knives

[echo sphinx]

and it affects later antes precisely cuz the interest builds up slower

[noble timber]

not even true

lmao

madness runs rarely need econ

or stencil

[frank grove]

also you can beat white stake without any jokers at all

[terse vale]

I mean they do

[olive stirrup]

We know u beat jokerless bro pack it up

[echo sphinx]

its kinda the reason i consider early packets to implicitly cost +$2 dollars

[noble timber]

even gold

[frank grove]

yeah

[olive stirrup]

Also I said almost any run

[terse vale]

obviously but thats crazy hard

[noble timber]

yo how tf did u know

first try too

[echo sphinx]

lol

[terse vale]

stencil runs need econ for planets :???

[frank grove]

yeah but interest usually can pay for that

and gold cards

[spark kernel]

Got chicot from a soul card

[noble timber]

holy imagine if there was some sort of

SEAL

[terse vale]

so econ

[noble timber]

that gave u planets

[frank grove]

there are ways to make money outside of jokers

[terse vale]

im not talking about just jokers :??

[noble timber]

chigoat

[frank grove]

yes but this guy is

[olive stirrup]

Gold cards also cover the 3 early dollars

[terse vale]

also its not in every run ! you need econ to open packs consistently anyways

[noble timber]

clocked

[terse vale]

well no ?

[noble timber]

no im pretty sure the blue seal is readily available

[terse vale]

what are we talking about

[frank grove]

it costs 3 or more dollars to buy a devil which pays for itself and then it can start paying for the difference

[noble timber]

I dont do gs often but I still find the blue seal early

[red sparrow]

This ox gonna be easy

[noble timber]

im talking about this

once u have one or two blue seals

u dont need planet packs

[spark kernel]

Soul card and black hole in the same run

[versed sable]

by ante 3
nice

[echo sphinx]

waow

one levele

[terse vale]

I mean if you have excess money it wouldn’t hurt but I would say at like 3 seals you dont need packs

[echo sphinx]

this run is so won lol

[red sparrow]

I might be fucked

[echo sphinx]

you're fine surely

i see flush with duo

[terse vale]

and I meant standard packs !

[echo sphinx]

nvm i dont

i blind

[versed sable]

Big blind

[echo sphinx]

[red sparrow]

What do I do?

I lost :c

[opaque ice]

How 🙏 I fucked up by taking gold ticket thinking ill get alot of devils, I didn't. I had shitty scaling im genuinely suprized

[ebon condor]

hey a wins a win

[opaque ice]

Tell me about it

Im getting my second deck at gold

My first was geen

[ebon condor]

oh dang

greens kinda rough for me the econs always weird

[red sparrow]

Time to flush max

[opaque ice]

It took me 3 attempts to win on gold

And like +50 for purple and orange

I got carried by the goat

[ebon condor]

that just means you got good obv

[opaque ice]

Photochad

And good scaling

[echo sphinx]

big money

[opaque ice]

Damm

[red sparrow]

This is why skip good

[terse vale]

please

[echo sphinx]

me when ante 1 investment

[terse vale]

its anaglyph investment tag

thats like one of the only good skips 🥹

[ebon condor]

skipping is fun and can get you funny highrolls but 99% of the time its not a good idea

[red sparrow]

These are the good skips

[terse vale]

no

[opaque ice]

I did a stupid

[terse vale]

why didn’t you circle handy thats like one of the only good ones too lol

[opaque ice]

Frogor to sell jimbo

[terse vale]

or top up

[ebon condor]

boss reroll tag notably not circled

[opaque ice]

Now I have another ankh

[terse vale]

and if polychrome isn’t a good skip why did you skip for it twice

[red sparrow]

I don’t re roll bosses unless it’s really bad boss

[terse vale]

what are we DOING

[opaque ice]

Ahem

[ebon condor]

ok what if it is

[red sparrow]

Because I skip a lot

[opaque ice]

PLANT SUCKS

[red sparrow]

Then I re roll

[red sparrow]

Mult cards are good and I like planet cards

[cosmic sun]

ragebait or casual elitist in chat

[manic zealot]

definitely bait

[cosmic sun]

[red sparrow]

I only like hanged man on canio runs

[woven spire]

bait?

yeah it has to be

[terse vale]

im sorry but I don’t believe you this is bait

[rocky helm]

[terse vale]

i play a few more pairs and then start with highcard

[terse vale]

I don’t see it as worth it

[versed sable]

from what i've heard it's not good enough to be up there

[red sparrow]

I used to always use magician for the gamble but now I find mult cards better than lucky ones because of consistency

[echo sphinx]

shop good on first ante pick but its kinda gambly

pray that shop doesnt have sucks eternals

[woven spire]

What hand is your favorite

i need to know

[versed sable]

-# (negative, spectral, and juggle are all "if you have a ton of double tags in endless then you can" I think)

[red sparrow]

Full house

[versed sable]

yeaa

[woven spire]

Yeah this is bait

[echo sphinx]

fullhouse is not THAT bad 😭

[woven spire]

Magic cards are not consistent and your favorite hand is full house

[red sparrow]

I’m also new

Only like 300 hours

[woven spire]

[terse vale]

lucky cards arent for the mult usually

[rocky helm]

supernova is an antisynergy right?

[woven spire]

ye

[red sparrow]

Really?

[rocky helm]

alr

[manic zealot]

for the money

[red sparrow]

Get clearance

[terse vale]

yes now stop baiting

do not

get clearance

[red sparrow]

Clearance is good

[echo sphinx]

usually is for the $1.5 dollar per magic played on average

[red sparrow]

You save money

[terse vale]

right now atleast

don’t get it right now

[manic zealot]

context is important

[woven spire]

they have 11 bucks

[terse vale]

get it on the last shop prolly

[red sparrow]

So that means that as they get more money they can save it

[terse vale]

please stop talking

[red sparrow]

What is they skip

[rocky helm]

its ok, i've stockholm syndrome'd myself into playing without any money, so i dont care for interest

[red sparrow]

I’m going to shut up now

[rocky helm]

time for high card?

[terse vale]

iuuh I gues ya

[woven spire]

huhhhhh

[rocky helm]

stockholm syndrome

[terse vale]

ok well now I feel bad i’m sorry

but are you actually taking our arguments into account

[red sparrow]

Yes

[woven spire]

i still think they r baiting

[manic zealot]

it matters to us that you improve at the game if you're being serious

I hope you still feel welcome

[red sparrow]

I’m not that good yet

[manic zealot]

ok

[red sparrow]

Is vampire and Midas a good synergy?

[woven spire]

If you are not baiting, we are here to help and make people improve

If you use it mindlessly then yeah the voucher can genuinely hurt more than it helps

but it can help buy time or dodge some particularly nasty bosses if you can't score around their gimmick (which you could in this case as you had glass)

It allows an entire extra ante which is more time for scaling jokers that scale on play counts

[karmic berry]

HOW AM I GONNA GET 1MIL

[viral raft]

bro Hologram is doing everything 😭😭😭

[karmic berry]

ikr

im doing the small blind rn

[viral raft]

i see

[frank notch]

[viral raft]

hologram power

look at his deck

73 cards

[karmic berry]

idk what do you mean

[viral raft]

how are you still alive with mostly shitty jokers

[light brook]

allow me to explain my favorite voucher

[light brook]

holo carrying most likely

[viral raft]

[viral raft]

72 cards 😭

[viral raft]

[karmic berry]

[feral needle]

Endless Mode is kinda just Bonus

[red sparrow]

Ok explain it

[feral needle]

[compact sail]

Any way to get both of them?

[tardy cosmos]

no way

[viral raft]

well done, try to change some jokers most of them are jsut early game

[tardy cosmos]

unless you get a hermit in arcana pack

[karmic berry]

ahhh i dont know what jokers are good

[tardy cosmos]

dont get anything imo if you can survive just get intrest

[viral raft]

do you want me to explain some nerdy balatro tips?

[feral needle]

Hermit would produce 3 dollars

and if they buy a joker, they cannot get the arcana pack

[compact sail]

I will be praying for arcana pack -> judgement -> Credit Card

[karmic berry]

yea

i also wann aknow what deck i should use

[viral raft]

ok i'll dm you, is alot of thingys to explain

[red sparrow]

Yellow

Then ghost

[tardy cosmos]

its a non zero chance

[karmic berry]

aight ill use that

[tardy cosmos]

go for it

[red sparrow]

Yellow unlocks my goat ghost deck

[light brook]

heiroglyph is a voucher you take most of the time, as, you essentially play last ante again. if you were able to clear last ante easily, it’s a guaranteed take. sure it may be more chance to lose if you have an inconsistent build (ie, bloodstone) and sure it digs into econ to due lower hands per round. BUT it’s 3 more rounds to scale your scaling jokers and 3 more shops to visit. that HEAVILY outweighs the downsides

[feral needle]

It's -1 Hand per round

not hand size

[red sparrow]

Could I have some tips to 🥺

[frank grove]

farewell silly run

[light brook]

you’re correct, i phrased it wrong (i meant hpr)

[light brook]

petroglyph is one you take less, as i’m sure you’ve heard many grievances about blue stake. this is essentially making the rest of your run the blue stake debuff, plus the downsides (and upsides) of heiroglyph. usually i personally don’t take it as it usually shows up late game to where it’s unnecessary

[robust lance]

But petroglyph is kinda funny

[light brook]

true

all of the rules go out the window when play=funny

5 eternal madness run my beloved

i miss you every day

[dull ridge]

Should I sell a normal joker for blueprint?

[light brook]

throwback to this bullshit i concocted a while back

[light brook]

[dull ridge]

[willow vine]

[light brook]

ft is the play sell bro

[willow vine]

and move your cavendish to the end

[dull ridge]

Oh yeah ik, I just moved jokers so y’all can see them

[dull ridge]

[wraith slate]

so many brainstorms, why not all blueprints lol

[south oasis]

moneymaxxing

[light brook]

congrats g

[stark nimbus]

uhm

[red briar]

is there a set of real balatro cards/jokers on sale? i think it would be cool

also hi chat

[willow vine]

i think these are a couple keychain vendors

i think the only offical merch i know of is the calender

[red briar]

dang

a real set of balatro cards and some jokers would be cool

[willow vine]

https://www.fangamer.com/products/balatro-playing-cards?srsltid=AfmBOoqhMhFPJEUME56QWh-kY9lJpCDUBc6CaJUuCgBpbSDhOc-wKRae

this is by fangamer

[red briar]

oh cool!

[thorn thistle]

now theres one more to unlock merry andy

[red briar]

ill have to grab them

[willow vine]

and check etsy too

[versed sable]

unlucky

[light brook]

plasma deck white stake is your way to go (andy was my last too, this tip helped)

i believe you can only play 4 normal rounds

so play through the first two antes normally and then skip to the boss for the rest

[stark nimbus]

Photo and Chad same shop

[thorn thistle]

maybe i'll look for investment tag

[tardy spade]

I am curious why the in-game balatro music is toned down from the actual sound file

[red sparrow]

12 rounds is easy. Just get throwback and skip everything

[versed sable]

@wraith slate to be fair i can't really copy mime more than 3x a lot of the time anyway, because i'm scoring too much rn

i'll get blueprints instead after ante 32

[light brook]

i second this, throwback carries andy unlock runs

i definitely wouldn’t say easy

but it’s a whole lot easier with throwback

[royal bobcat]

You're lucky. They just restocked

[light brook]

and if you’re on plasma definitely look for stuntman if you can’t find throwback

[red sparrow]

Do you only have 5 jokers unlocked?

[light brook]

nah that’s gold stake junk

[red sparrow]

Oh

[thorn thistle]

oh and also i might try to unlock palette voucher (like merry andy, stuntman, ectoplasm and ouija)

[opal pebble]

Time to brute force green deck and get gold stake finished no matter the cost to my sanity

[red sparrow]

Can you unlock stuff in seeded runs?

[light brook]

nope

[red sparrow]

Damnit

[half rivet]

just found one today after ages of playing lol

[opal pebble]

Ghost deck was my best friend (with ecto)

[thorn thistle]

true

[half rivet]

???

[light brook]

seeded runs are purely for fun, nothing like score or unlocks or anything it put towards the tally

[red sparrow]

Buddy that message was sent yesterday

[half rivet]

buddy messages don't clear daily i can respond to any i want

[red sparrow]

I’m just surprised you went back thousands of messages

[rocky helm]

i swear im not chip-carried!

[errant bolt]

What would be the best way to go about unlocking this joker? Last one I need

[light brook]

someone responded to them

[rocky helm]

anaglyph + investment

[red sparrow]

Ah

[errant bolt]

Would yellow deck also be best pick?

[light brook]

or whatever the one that doubles your money is (i forgot the name i never take tags)

[red sparrow]

Do white stake to make it easy on you

[red sparrow]

Economy

[fallow shadow]

bloodstone

[light brook]

+10 at the start vs +25*(x antes) pick your choice

[rocky helm]

thats what i mean

[errant bolt]

ty all, for some reason i didn't think to try to get runs with good ante 1 skip tags xd

[light brook]

honestly investment could work too

really any money tags on anaglyph

also bull bootstraps and rocket help a bunch

alla this for arguably one of the worst econ jokers 🥀

[errant bolt]

yea i finally decided to go about getting the jokers i was missing lol

got all the planet cards, hit the road & seeing double

[light brook]

there’s definitely some you have to dedicate runs to getting

like any of the gems or andy

[edgy stone]

Man this chips build is so fun!

[rocky helm]

o7's guys

[rocky helm]

speaking of chips runs,,,

[tardy spade]

is it more likely drawing an 8-card hand from a normal deck to have a hand that contains at least 1 pair or a hand that contains no pairs?

[edgy stone]

Now I knew how to use Hiker

[willow frost]

a pair

[deft anvil]

So this is a lie

It's ANY edition

[willow frost]

its about an 80% to 90% chance apparently

[deft anvil]

Oh and decided to try a brain run

I got bored at the end and just started skipping

[night turret]

The font

[rocky helm]

metallica

[edgy stone]

James Hetfield?

[rocky helm]

guys what apperas more often bp or bs , for me bs way more often

[tardy spade]

they're equally likely to appear

they are both rare jokers

[marsh tartan]

black deck is genuinely evil

[wet burrow]

what happens if i ankh an active invisible joker

and i just have 2 invisibles

can i get infinite money?

[tall jetty]

hi guys

[versed sable]

i mean
it's pretty slow money
lol

[past crow]

W shop one riff-raff

._.

[vestal copper]

im sad

[fresh vessel]

hi guys

how is everyone

[light brook]

huh wdym it’s a lie

[cloud sinew]

No it isnt

negatives dont appear more often

[light brook]

yeah negative don’t count

ooh i get what you mean now yeah it’s all editions except negative

[patent shoal]

its been too long I want more balatro

[light brook]

so play more balatro

[patent shoal]

I've already done it all

[cloud sinew]

It lies about polychrome through, polychrome is 3x and then 7x rather than 2x and 4x

[patent shoal]

well I gold staked every deck, didnt start hunting for C++ because I split my time across mobile and steam

[light brook]

wait i thought it was equal chance for foil poly and holo

33% each

[cloud sinew]

Nope

[patent shoal]

man I just want the update so bad

[light brook]

what’s the odds for each

[cloud sinew]

foil is 2%, holo is 1.4%, and then poly and negative are 0.3% at base

[patent shoal]

maybe I should play some balatro

[cloud sinew]

with hone its 4%/2.8%/0.9%/0.3%
and with glow up its 8%/5.6%/2.1%/0.3%

[light brook]

when you hit wheel/aura are odds 33% each or are they skewed (not the right word but i hope you understand) similarly

[cloud sinew]

Skewed 50/35/15

foil holo poly

Its the same for both wheel and aura.

[light brook]

huh the more you know

sigh if only we had negative playing cards 😔

what would that even do

[cosmic sun]

queen me

[cloud sinew]

+1 handsize

[light brook]

goat the moon mention

[light brook]

i’d think either +1 hand size or +1 card selection (so like a flush 6 is possible)

i don’t like the idea of +card selection sizes

[wintry ice]

neither does thunk so

[light brook]

i assumed

[sacred pike]

the perfectly hilarious run needed to gold stake gift card

[light brook]

but like there’s so many combinations and thus secret hands to go along with

[solar bone]

what does that do? :o i dont understand it

[cloud sinew]

Duplicates cant* appear normally, this lets duplicates appear.

[solar bone]

OHHHHHH WOW THATS CRAZY STRONG

[cloud sinew]

No it isnt

[solar bone]

Thank you!

it is :o

[rich mauve]

hi lilo, haven't seen you in a while

[cloud sinew]

It doesnt make them appear more often than usual, it just lets them appear

[light brook]

meh it kinda sucks

[solar bone]

yea yeah! thats crazy strong

[cloud sinew]

and it means you cant prevent stuff from appearing which is a bad thing

[cloud sinew]

No it isnt

[light brook]

arguably one of the worst jokers in the game

[cloud sinew]

the odds of finding a duplicate of a joker you have are very small

[solar bone]

lol, I found showman 2 times hahah

thats interesting

[rich mauve]

the things you want to see is less than the things you don't want to see and having them in your slots blocks them from appearing again

[light brook]

double throwback 💀

[rich mauve]

showman ruins this

[cloud sinew]

Why do you think its crazy strong

[vestal copper]

why trib 😭

[light brook]

i don’t think they understand the concept of tarot/planet blocking

[rancid gull]

Has anyone ever pitched changing the tooth boss?

[wintry ice]

duplicate jokers aren't that powerful

[cloud sinew]

Why, and to what

[solar bone]

I dont understand that

[light brook]

we aren’t evil tooth fairies silly

[light brook]

so you can only have 1 of a given joker/tarot/planet at a time

if you have it in your slots it won’t appear in the shop

[wintry ice]

there's a strategy where you hold undesired consumables so that you can't find them anymore

[solar bone]

but how did showman appear again?

[rancid gull]

Cause I had an idea, change it to like a loss of 3 bucks per hand played instead of 1 dollar per card to punish the spammable hands more than the 5 card hands. In the reality where we pivot away from pairslop meta

[light brook]

because you have showman already and showman negates this ability

[rancid gull]

Ox is there to punish the 5 card hand

Or whatever

[solar bone]

oh you are saying what happens without showman

[light brook]

correct

[deft anvil]

The unlock condition mb

[rich mauve]

If you have something in your slots, they will be replaced with something else next time they should have been appear in the shop/packs

which means if you grap bad jokers and tarots and the time comes they that should appear in the shop, it will be replaced with something else (with same rarity), potentially better ones

[deft anvil]

I know how the voucher works lmao

[light brook]

using planets as and example, some people would buy off hand planets (let’s use neptune and mars for example) to make it so that neptune and mars wouldn’t appear in celestial packs anymore

[light brook]

with showman, this strategy is no longer viable

[tall jetty]

how to play for high card if in first antes i need to play other hands also if iplay for high card i play any card i want or make all cards beeing upgraded etc??

[cloud sinew]

what

[light brook]

similar thing happen with jokers (using this image as example)

[brazen pebble]

Yuck do i take baron or idol or neither im scoring e11 rn

[cloud sinew]

baron over chad

[light brook]

wordslop atp

[light brook]

yea pivot to baron

[rancid gull]

Wordslop is genuinely hilarious

[light brook]

bro jus saying words

[tall jetty]

how to do high card build

[tall jetty]

😭

[rocky helm]

guys do any of you know a seed that will make me enjoy balatro

[light brook]

don’t force builds

[rocky helm]

like fun

gameplay

[vestal copper]

i might be cooking right there

[light brook]

but a butt ton of plutos

[tall jetty]

i heard high card build is the best isnt it?

[light brook]

cooking with the heat of the moment maybe there’s minimal synergy (this is a joke this isn’t bad)

[humble gulch]

I don't like that red rebate

[light brook]

pair is meta rn

[fringe crest]

not nececarelltlylelylecly

[rancid gull]

High card builds are silly

[tall jetty]

why tho

[tall jetty]

XDD

[rancid gull]

Better chip scaling

[light brook]

chip scaling and just as easy to draw

[rancid gull]

Not much harder to find than high card

[tall jetty]

fym "rn" game didnt had any update since 1.5 year

[cosmic sun]

You been hearing from endless brainrotters I fear @tall jetty

[light brook]

near the start of when the game took off a lot of people said high card was best but soon after people realized chips scaling potential of pair

[vestal copper]

almost died to the flint

[tall jetty]

oka ty

[light brook]

plus there’s the constant white stake flushslop meta

[rancid gull]

Stinky ahh boss

My day be so fine

Then ante 7 flint

[light brook]

[rich mauve]

early baron means before ante 39

[empty silo]

[light brook]

wow it’s rare you see a baron build get this far when you pick it up r2

[vestal copper]

i fucking hate you trib

[light brook]

what are chad and sock doing here bro

[empty silo]

and it was a spades flush build for most of it before baron

[empty silo]

waiting for a replacement

[solar bone]

anyone know? :o

[light brook]

ah got it

[light brook]

because it doesn’t work for drunkard

it copies the leftmost

[rancid gull]

Bros got 20 jokers

a gold red seal of stone

[rancid gull]

Faceless joker taking effect

[light brook]

[empty silo]

well it almost carried

[light brook]

gold stone ain’t a thing twin

[vestal copper]

do you think i dont know

[rancid gull]

Imagine a reality where dual enhancements are a thing

[empty silo]
