[wicked mango]

Um i have 100%. Gold stickered every joker. How do i have 1 new discovery?

[rugged bloom]

I assume it means a negative you hadn't seen earlier or something

Maybe a polychrome or something

[cosmic sun]

Thank you Acrobat

Actually it didn't matter

[keen pilot]

The no discard use bundle really carried my early game econ tho, it was a very lucky start lol

[keen pilot]

$14 from delayed gratification

[rugged bloom]

Why aren't you selling the certificate?

Do you not know how to play the game?

[keen pilot]

lmao

[chrome otter]

Gg

[versed sable]

[chrome otter]

Great seed btw early brainstorm

[rugged bloom]

When did this happen lol

[cosmic sun]

More servers need that

[slow iris]

All jokers debuffed until 1 playing card sold

[thorn thistle]

sacrificed invisible joker from verdant leaf

[rugged bloom]

Is it just me or early Brainstorm is more common than Early Blueprint?

[chrome otter]

Same

[robust lance]

notice how the 2 best things here would get destroyed eventually

this is a reference to how balatro both gives and takes

oh ok

ok whew im good now

got banana

[frank grove]

nice and quick stm run

[fiery nymph]

chaos the clown

amazing run

🔥

chaos the clown is honestly something i hold for a couple rounds

[frank grove]

i had him for like half the run

[fiery nymph]

its overall very useful

but hes also the first thing i sell

if i need another jonkler

[frank grove]

i bought tarot tycoon fairly early cause stm needs insane deck fixing and then a judgement just gave me dna so ..

[fiery nymph]

w judgement

it gave me a poly wee yesterday

[frank grove]

and i had overstock+ so each reroll is like 3 tarots 😭

[open gale]

do i take sock instead of dusk? not sure if its compatable?

[fiery nymph]

my most notable stm run used vagabond

[frank grove]

sock doesnt retrigger cards in hand only mime does, dusk also doesnt retrigger the card held in hand

[open gale]

does dusk even do it?

[fiery nymph]

its just so good at getting the tarots to fix

[frank grove]

no

[fiery nymph]

no ur better off looking for something that would help the baron mime score

[frank grove]

yeah if i saw vaga i would've held off getting tarot tycoon

[open gale]

okay okay

what would bbe good? blueprint or shoowman?

[fiery nymph]

try finding dna, invis, blueprint, showman

stuff along those lines

[frank grove]

98 pretty good

[fiery nymph]

i only pick up fortune teller if i have crazy tarot gens

or tycoon

because otherwise it scales pretty slowly

[frank grove]

Yeah it sucks that it can be perishable

[fiery nymph]

ruins the point of it being a mult scaler

that should be changed

[frank grove]

cause it takes so much work to get fortune teller to even compete with the other +mults and then it just has a 30% chance of being perishable 😭

[opal bear]

hi guys i have a question

what is the most optimal configuration of this?

[fiery nymph]

yeah it just doesnt make sense at all

[frank grove]

this is correct i think

[fiery nymph]

i dont remember any other mult scalers being like that

[silent topaz]

do you have red seal glass

[opal bear]

no

[fiery nymph]

this looks good

[obsidian lotus]

Damn playing jokerless really makes me miss even Jimbo

[opal bear]

this is most lucky seed i have ever gotten by chance

[frank grove]

even with red seal glass with two socks i think its still better to double copy trib

[fiery nymph]

flush five builds honestly get capped so bad

[frank grove]

Supernova can also be perishable i think

[cosmic sun]

little humble obelisk to signify win streak 3

[fiery nymph]

maybe it was made to be that way since they both scale based on preexisting actions?

hands played and tarots being tracked

[frank grove]

yeah they're both retroactive same with throwback

[fiery nymph]

niceee

[obsidian lotus]

Do I have a chance at beating jokerless, I m at ante 5 atm, what should I focus on

[slender mauve]

omg omg i did a thing! i gilded the black!

i think it was like 10ish attempts

[rancid gull]

Nice dude!!!

You did it on objectively one of the most fuck ass bosses too

[raw wadi]

how can i even go this far

[rancid gull]

i hate crimson heart

[frank grove]

Try to find some glass

[rancid gull]

Luck

perfect deck building

[slender mauve]

well on the black deck it's kinda easier than on others, cause extra joker

[raw wadi]

fair enough

[rancid gull]

well doing bd++ i've been fucked by crimson heart hard

Violet vessel has done me in less than crimson heart

[slender mauve]

funny thing on one of the previous runs i rerolled crimson just to die to violet lol

and i think I'd actually beat crimson, but we'll never know lol

[placid ridge]

First shop Ante 1. I have exactly 7 dollars 🤔

[slender mauve]

would be buffon pack for me

[placid ridge]

and... Baron 👀

Good enough

[wicked mango]

Oh that counts? Cool

[vestal copper]

cooked 😭

[placid ridge]

I would probably take rough gem if it wasn't eternal

[vestal copper]

baron without deck fixing is bait

[placid ridge]

true, but I'm hoping I'll survive long enough to make use of it

[obsidian lotus]

istg those glass have been dodging me

wow

[placid ridge]

and so it begins 😈

[slow iris]

imagine someone accidentally sends a message in #ceremonial-dagger

[fiery nymph]

not even

i think every seed can go past that

[placid ridge]

sending a link to it seems like a great way to cause that to happen...

[frank grove]

Yeah..

[slow iris]

👉 #ceremonial-dagger 👈

[placid ridge]

bruh

[silent topaz]

the amount of bans has doubled since it was mentioned in suggestions 2 days ago

[fiery nymph]

😭

[obsidian lotus]

if I take the voucher will it mean that end boss will be ante 7 difficulty or one ante more until win

[placid ridge]

one more ante

[slow iris]

more servers should have a honeypot tbh

[fiery nymph]

real

[obsidian lotus]

prob shoulndt take it then

[placid ridge]

Probably not. Unless you want another ante to prepare for the final boss or something.

[fiery nymph]

less people should be getting their accounts compromised

[frank grove]

Im shocked that the bots dont have filters to not send messages in channels like that

[obsidian lotus]

Lets play a game

will the only reason I could win this challenge break or not

please place your bets

[frank grove]

nah it doesnt break

[obsidian lotus]

🙁

😭

it broke

[versed sable]

uuh
am i selling blueprint or showman
next blind is crimson..

i think i sell a bp here

[placid ridge]

That's... a lot of double tags for a deck other than anaglyph 👀 crazy

[versed sable]

i've been spending until $100 rerolls every shop qwq

[placid ridge]

lmao

[frank grove]

insane money

[placid ridge]

yeah

[versed sable]

ig ill sell bp

look for one more bean

[rancid gull]

guys help me

i'm being forced to play flushes on black deck

[obsidian lotus]

guys I think the gamle hates me

[versed sable]

ow my money

spent $15k in one shop qwq

[night turret]

I am slowly beating this stupid deck

[versed sable]

lol

[night turret]

Gawd dang

[willow frost]

holy crap

[pulsar rune]

As you can see I’m on a very good track to getting my first Nan inf, unseeded as well. I’m looking for burg right now but I can’t serpent yet because I’ll win too fast. If I get serpent prematurely, should I roll a different boss blind or will that not change whether I get serpent at a later ante?

[versed sable]

the game basically

takes all of the boss blinds

puts them into a bag

[willow frost]

also just found out drdreamo recently got his first unseeded naneinf

crazy

[versed sable]

and then takes them out one at a time in random order

[cursive lion]

its a honeypot channel

some other servers i am in has it

its for spam bots

[versed sable]

once you go through every blind it'll shuffle them again

[pulsar rune]

Ok so if I “put it back in the bag” it doesn’t necessarily affect whether I pull it later

[cursive lion]

they either post in every text channel they can or the first

so if you post in there you just get banned

[willow frost]

(the guy whos set pretty much every long seeded wr in the game)

[pulsar rune]

This seed was insane, it’s a random seed and I got baron and mime in the same shop roll on ante 6, got a blueprint from a judgement, and got a natural negative DNA on ante 10

I think this is the run

[potent tree]

well, it's been awhile since i been here

how's balachat doing

[versed sable]

meowing

and doing bean glitch

[thorn thistle]

tarot generator

[rancid gull]

11th Black Deck ++ win

I pulled that hologram out of a random judgement at the right time

[sly obsidian]

i can sometimes hear the soundtrack or ability procs when I'm not playing balatro
also what do y'all think of this build
first win and got me to 11 ante

[stark nimbus]

https://medal.tv/games/balatro/clips/mlQUHHgsu9zADx33N?invite=cr-MSxudUMsNTgyNDg5Mjg2 what are the chances for this😭

[rancid gull]

i mean it's a decently common chance

rare-ish

[stark nimbus]

ig

but like chad + photo

top 5 best joker combos

[bleak atlas]

wish i never took this damn eternal photo

[rancid gull]

this is still goated asf though lol

[bleak atlas]

yeah i mean im trying to push upper limit

e31 rn

cap

if i had idol could go higher

[rancid gull]

idol hitting the 9 of diamonds

[potent tree]

after savescumming i have determined that both hex and ankh will hit grimbo. which would be better (grimbo currently at 29)

yes, you see eternal chad just for bloodstone

i meant, bludstone sorry

[rancid gull]

ZAMN

BLOODSTONE

[frank grove]

i wouldnt do either

[potent tree]

you're saying keep bludstone?

[frank grove]

im saying find some better x mult

[trail steeple]

hiker + hack + baseball card carried me i thought the build was so stupid😭

[quaint stag]

both of these options are kinda terrible

id just hold

[potent tree]

aight

[pulsar rune]

DAMMIT I DIDNT REALISE I CANT HAVE GOLD CARDS IN MY HAND THIS ANTE

IM SO STUPID FOR FUCKS SAKE

No nan inf today

[versed sable]

that took 23 minutes

i made back $2000 just from the gold cards at the end i think

[quaint stag]

also if you're running grimbo chances are you arent getting bstone value anyways without flushes/bigger hands

if you can pivot into a better xmult that'd be great

[potent tree]

well i got more econ now from foil parking...

[quaint stag]

yorick is the cherry on top lol

[trail steeple]

i got it so late it didnt matter tbh

[versed sable]

and i got so lucky qwq

[south oasis]

idk why but i decided to try gold stake black deck again

photochad my beloved

[open pier]

guys please help i cant unlock palette

ive tried everything

[frank grove]

anaglyph hope for a voucher tag

[south oasis]

or play on ghost deck and just buy every ecto and ouija

[open pier]

i have

ive gotten multiple runs where ive reduced my hand size to 5

both seeded and unseeded with mods and without mods

[south oasis]

oh is it just not giving it to you

[open pier]

yeah its just permanently locked for me

[south oasis]

weirdge

[frank grove]

wait that is weird

[south oasis]

maybe try reinstalling the game or smth

my achievements were bugged out when i played a few months ago but once i reinstalled it just kinda fixed itself

[open pier]

will that delete my save files😭

also how do i delete it

[south oasis]

nah as long as ur on the same steam account it will be saved in the cloud

[open pier]

so do i delete it on steam?

[south oasis]

ye just uninstall it

and reinstall

[potent tree]

sack parking for ramen?

i have DC so can reroll to avoid hook

[zinc willow]

You ever have a great run, but you know it wont be Nan-inf?

[south oasis]

yeah that happens a lot

[potent tree]

yeah, i've never tried a naneinf run before lmao

[south oasis]

ive thrown maybe 2 naninf runs cuz i was dumb

[frank grove]

I basically only play ante 8 gs so every single one basically 😭

[south oasis]

and a bunch just died cuz of voucher luck

[zinc willow]

Its got the right jokers, the deck isnt even that bad, but my RNG just isnt there

[potent tree]

my best run got to ante 15 thanks to double photo double chad and random constellation

[frank grove]

my best on gs got to like ante 17 with idol and red seal glass

[south oasis]

generally if you build up enough econ on plasma deck white stake you should be able to naninf maybe like 10% of the time

[zinc willow]

If I could get red seal and baron id have a shot at ante 17

[south oasis]

ofc im not that great at naninfing

[potent tree]

but still, worth?

[south oasis]

yeah take it

got that burglar synergy

[zinc willow]

My 1 and only naninf run was with aces and perkeo...

[potent tree]

honestly based for using aces

[south oasis]

aces is crazy lol

all of my naninfs have been the burglar & serpent

[zinc willow]

I was copying my steel aces EVERY SINGLE HAND. FINALLY SPENT 36 CRYPTIDS TO HIT NAN-INF

[open pier]

wait so did you do another run?

[south oasis]

ig just try it

[open pier]

alright ill try get to 5 hand size again and ill tell you how it goes

[zinc willow]

Triple copy of perkeo (2 brainstorm and a Bluprint) if i had run kings it would've been WAAAAAAAYYYYYY easier. But I like ace of spades. Yes I was running Poly Arrowhead

[desert pebble]

ante 4 black deck and i forgot my extra joker slot

ooops.

[trail coral]

100 wins after 170 hours in balatro💀 9/15 c+, 48/150 c++

[potent tree]

current boss is plant, do i reroll and risk hook/mouth?

i had to...and we got hooked.

wasted 4 hands. oh well

[open mortar]

why.

[small cobalt]

Guys I just opened a buffon pack and have to choose between blueprint and photograph (I don't have a hanging Chad or any deck fixing on ante 5) which should I do

[bleak atlas]

i got up to 6.4e40 with all glass on that double trib flush 5 build

had i been able to sell the photo chad for blueprint or idol coulda pushed further

note to self: don’t take eternal photochad

[trail coral]

1000 photochad rounds🥳

[marsh tartan]

tips for 15m city challenge

[potent tree]

no oa6 sadly but still good run

never using bludstone again.

[viral raft]

wdym oa6?

[potent tree]

oops all 6s

[viral raft]

oh i see

[potent tree]

which would guarantee bludstone triggers

[viral raft]

i hate bloodstone and full house

[potent tree]

ok bludstone is understandable but why hate on fullhouse??

[viral raft]

full house does nothing

any hand is better than FH

[south oasis]

full housery

[viral raft]

you want good planet lvl? straight or 4oak, you want scaling? two pair or 3oak

the only reason to play full hosue is early game and obelisk farm with pants

[olive stirrup]

Full house is inconsistent asf but doesn't deserve the hate

[olive stirrup]

Of a kind 6

[viral raft]

i mean imo deserves alot of hate, literally doesn't gave any benefit, is only "good" in ante 1 and maybe 2

[slow iris]

yellow card

[knotty topaz]

YOU MISS 100% OF THE BLUEPRINTS ON RARE SKIPS YOU DONT TAKE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Cavendish within 1 reroll 🥹🥹🥹

[drowsy rain]

“This is balatro” ahh shop

[harsh relic]

everyone is here

[vast delta]

COMPLETIONIST + DONE BABYYYYY

[harsh relic]

gg!!!!

[vast delta]

didnt get the achievement tho somehow

[harsh relic]

you have to win another game

[vast delta]

ohhh okay gotcha

[indigo mesa]

so this is how i die

[lapis aspen]

accidentally took a eternal trading card 🫩 but i got a blueprint after so its ok

[lapis aspen]

oof

early baron is hard to set up

[heady fable]

Got offered an ante 1 eternal mine, skipped, next shop was baron

[lapis aspen]

thats baddd

[heady fable]

Yeah

[lapis aspen]

picture i took

i have another

[heady fable]

After that the jokers were straight dook and I died ante 8 big blind cause I just didn't get any good flat mult or steel kings on hand

[indigo mesa]

ever since the recent run where i willingly didnt get naneinf and then made a stupid decision and died without it, ive been trying so hard to get these runs to work and they never do, i genuinely dont understand it i either dont find ectoplasm/antimatter, die early to some stupid shit like this, dont find baron, or just have such terrible deckfixing that baron doesnt even fucking work

[drowsy rain]

Just bought trading card while I had a burnt joker I might be einstein’s relative

[rose tendon]

what do i do here? i cannot give up the barons or the brainstorms...

[indigo mesa]

ive gotten naneinf before its not new to me

[heady fable]

Gold stake red deck has not been kind to me today

[indigo mesa]

bro what
you obviously sell one of the barons???

[heady fable]

You quite literally can give up a baron, a blueprint is a baron

[lapis aspen]

one baron dies

[rose tendon]

no i cant... because im at e25 right now... and boss is e21

next ante i will die

[lapis aspen]

dawg WHAT do you mean

[indigo mesa]

then you sell showman

[lapis aspen]

yeah

[indigo mesa]

they mean that they need the extra baron or they die

[lapis aspen]

ohshaiddnsbajahshahhhh

[rose tendon]

yea if i sell the showman i will just die... again at an higher ante

i guess it just cant happen without perkeo

[rose tendon]

naneinf

[lapis aspen]

naneinf is spider man blanket

y know what i mean

[rose tendon]

no

[lapis aspen]

oh

[rose tendon]

i do not understand

[lapis aspen]

i see

well

[heady fable]

Why is there such a big difficulty jump from orange to gold, I've lost orange once but I just can't win gold

[lapis aspen]

orange is fruit and gold is valuable

[drowsy rain]

The only difference is rental jokers, yeah they suck but idk about that big of a jump

[rose tendon]

im gonna give up the baron hoping i find another blueprint

[drowsy rain]

Orange taste better than gold

[rose tendon]

coz with showman i can reroll

[lapis aspen]

bread taste better than key

[potent tree]

well, damn. 0 queens drawn, 0 shortcut found

and i even sold a lucha for ts

[rose tendon]

thank you balatro chat

[lapis aspen]

genuine pain

[heady fable]

I am aware, but even the jump from to purple feels easier than orange to gold

[lapis aspen]

you’re welcome

:)

[potent tree]

i should've switched to 4oaks when i found that trio...

but no, i decided to gamble on straights this time

trusting my +90 runner at that time

[drowsy rain]

Early game econ is probably a huge problem for you then

It is for everyone

[heady fable]

Yeah I just can't find any econ jokers that actually hit

[lapis aspen]

fifth baron this run and i cant take it🥀

[lapis aspen]

2 mimes spotted earlier too

[drowsy rain]

for every five baron runs you must do at least one photochad or idol run

[heady fable]

I got a reserved parking earlier that just never hit

[lapis aspen]

the law of equivalent exchange

[heady fable]

But even if I get good econ I can't find any scoring jokers or planets

[lapis aspen]

mankind cannot gain something without losing something else in return

[drowsy rain]

I kinda hate using parking because you need to hit twice to make profit every hand and it simultaneously puts you out of using face cards for a few hands

[lapis aspen]

DUDE THERES ACTUALLY NO WAY

[heady fable]

Yeah well beggars can't be choosers, it was all jimbo offered to me

[drowsy rain]

It’s econ though so like

you have to pick it up

[heady fable]

Yes that's what I said

[drowsy rain]

yeah

[heady fable]

Still died cause no scoring jokers appeared in shop that weren't Rental eternal crazy joker

[rose tendon]

is selling the rebate... the right move?

[drowsy rain]

Pretty sure the only econ i refuse to take 90% of the time is delayed grat

Even satellite I take more than grat

[heady fable]

Forgot that was even a joker honestly

[red sparrow]

Which one?

[drowsy rain]

wdym

[red sparrow]

Which one is grat

[drowsy rain]

Delayed gratification

[red sparrow]

Oh it’s the discard one

[drowsy rain]

$2 for every discard left over after round

if you use no discards

[red sparrow]

It’s useless

[drowsy rain]

so it’s a golden joker except with restrictions and requires extra discards to earn $2 more per discard

[full orbit]

Golden Joker my pookie

Carried my black deck run

[drowsy rain]

Honestly I have no idea why it earns $0 if you use ANY discard, there must be some broken tech I’m not aware of

Just let it be $2 per discard left

[full orbit]

Gratification for not using your discards

[rose tendon]

goodbye showman... yes?

[willow frost]

no what

arent you scoring enough

[rose tendon]

damn... too late

should i have fished for another blueprint?

[willow frost]

yeah

hows your scoring

[rose tendon]

e38... but will die at ante 19 probably

perkeo aint happening at this point

[willow frost]

damn

oh yeah this is ghost deck

well gl

[eternal pumice]

[minor portal]

+15 mult

[feral needle]

1 in 6 chance of destroying itself at end of round

[cinder fable]

surely hoping this is not an irrelevant soul im tempted

[rose tendon]

dew it

[cinder fable]

ok i was right

bad decision

[serene forge]

I hate Bloodstone

[rose tendon]

what is it

[cinder fable]

it was a trib

[serene forge]

damn

[drowsy rain]

oof

perkeo would have gone so hard js looking at it

[cinder fable]

true

[warm vector]

finally beat gold stake

yess

[cinder fable]

it wouldve helped tbh i need more red seal steel 4s

[drowsy rain]

why am I being questioned perkeo on ghost deck with a mime build 😭

[cinder fable]

aaand blueprint appears 2 shops later 🔥

[serene forge]

it's ante 9

[drowsy rain]

What do you think would have been better than perkeo

The others are scaling and chigoat on white stake

[serene forge]

I thought chicken nuggets at first but they said they're using 4s so like

none of them are really that useful

[drowsy rain]

Ay if you rip a soul then you want perkeo 🤷‍♂️

even ante 9 perkeo is good when you’re on ghost

[finite heron]

Parko

[limber nova]

Js won with ts lmao

[serene forge]

paco

[finite heron]

Why is the miss print just observing

[drowsy rain]

damn near assembled exodia

[willow frost]

he checking that top card in your deck

[finite heron]

Cro is not part of the team

[finite heron]

You can do that with your collection

I don't think that's true

[limber nova]

I wouldn’t know, i’m just hoping to get blueprint to make it stupid

[finite heron]

Or just going for the sticker

Would be a better explanation

[drowsy rain]

Was gonna say for verdant but he has chicot so he lit just tagging along

[finite heron]

"We won"

[cinder fable]

nice1

[willow frost]

man this is not the balatro ost

[humble gulch]

Hehe

[cinder fable]

dont mind it :fh_nothanks:

ah

[humble gulch]

Two fps

[azure stag]

Could someone explain Perkeo to me please?

[cinder fable]

1/3rd of an fps*

[summer horizon]

Man I've been trying for hours to do gold deck anaglyph deck

It's so hard

[azure stag]

Ah, I see I now have another planet slot with that card, is that what it means by consumable slot?

[humble gulch]

Once you exit the shop it creates a copy from your consumables that doesn't take up space

[fiery nymph]

why is there music to this

😭

[humble gulch]

Why is so bright...

[azure stag]

It's brilliant music

no idea

hahaha

[finite heron]

Is that negative perk

[fiery nymph]

mid ass clip

:(

[cinder fable]

left my playlist on shuffle

[azure stag]

it's perfectly unbright on my screen

[cinder fable]

saturation 300%

[azure stag]

yes

[cinder fable]

deal with it 🫵

[azure stag]

So does it effectively give me an additional consumable slot?

[limber nova]

Think i fudged the run, but that’s the best i’ve ever done, so…

[finite heron]

Ze mouts

[azure stag]

4,959,240!!!

wow

I'm some way off that!

[cinder fable]

it makes a negative card from one of your cards that you have in the consumable slot

when exiting the shop

[azure stag]

Ah so it doubles the effect of that card?

[cinder fable]

it duplicates it

[azure stag]

and doesn't take up the additional slot

[finite heron]

3 negative perkeos are always better than 1 canio

[light brook]

twin are you playing in chernobyl

[azure stag]

Nuclear winter is real

[cinder fable]

yes duplicates the card and doesnt take a slot because its negative

[limber nova]

And anything is better than chicot

[finite heron]

Chicot is so situational

[light brook]

uhh i think you mean chiGOAT

[limber nova]

I could have survived if i had nix’d it in my run

[humble gulch]

That's a lot of polychrome

[finite heron]

Shecoat bro

[cinder fable]

ok its joever

[cinder fable]

chad next

[light brook]

take the dusk please

[humble gulch]

No, thanks, I need money

[finite heron]

Highcard

[limber nova]

Highcardslop

[cinder fable]

i swear to god

[humble gulch]

Yeah

[cinder fable]

i was playing flush houses

[light brook]

“oh no i died in ante 5 because bloodstone shit itself! if only there were some retrigger to prevent this!”

[finite heron]

Why are you playing flush house with mime

[cinder fable]

highcard to farm vagabond 💯

[light brook]

yes i see seltzer

[cinder fable]

y not

[limber nova]

Equivalent to whiffing a nair against Luigi

[wary zodiac]

jesus christ thats a good rock

[cinder fable]

5 red sealed steels doing the work

[limber nova]

R O C K

[light brook]

except whiffing is a skill issue not a 1/2

[humble gulch]

HUH

[light brook]

i once met a man who whiffed g&w usmash

[grizzled robin]

what a fucking run 😭 the sad thing is ive already taken an ecto on a photograph which i sold before invis joker 🙁

[light brook]

holy shit

[humble gulch]

That's the fifth time already

[limber nova]

W H A T

[humble gulch]

I don't think I need a retrigger anymore...

[grizzled robin]

😭

[limber nova]

holy shiit lmaooo it’s only ante 5

[humble gulch]

Hehe

[finite heron]

I might be the unluckiest person alive

I never rolled polychrome on aura

💀

I actually never saw one in game

[humble gulch]

That's funny

I'm selling brainstorm

[finite heron]

Lower potential higher consistency

[fiery nymph]

its gold stake so thats fine

[humble gulch]

I'm playing six flushes, fuck it

Only played two, lol

That's a run right there

[gray plaza]

I finally managed to do the bean bug on a non-Plasma gold stake run and I was so excited that I forgot to do the fucking bug when the bean was hit twice of my 4 hands

Holy fumble

That's -10 hand size

[night turret]

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT SKIP FOR NEG

[gray plaza]

I'm actually pissed at myself lmao

[night turret]

DAMMN YOU ORANGE STAKE

[limber leaf]

Why would you sell the oops all 6's selling the banner wouldve been way better

[humble gulch]

Stickers

[limber leaf]

Ugh ok that makes sense ig

[humble gulch]

I don't really want to get far, this is my second file already

[limber leaf]

Gobble gobble

[eager summit]

finally a good run

[limber leaf]

Good? maybe. Strange? Definitely.

[fiery nymph]

this is a good run

[limber leaf]

What is?

[fiery nymph]

this madness run

[grizzled robin]

the run just keeps getting better

[limber leaf]

No one said it wasnt tho

[fiery nymph]

thats why im making a statemnt

[limber leaf]

Holy

[grizzled robin]

dna ❤️‍🔥 🥺

[limber leaf]

Dna is my baby

[grizzled robin]

unironically, just because i have dna, isnt it possible for me to take a 3rd ecto?

[limber leaf]

On your second hand how do you have your blueprints set

[grizzled robin]

1 on sock 2 on trib

[limber leaf]

Yes, but personally i wouldnt

[grizzled robin]

why

[limber leaf]

Ok good

[grizzled robin]

0 downsides

[limber leaf]

Sometimes its a bit too risky for me to have the right draws

[grizzled robin]

i think we good

the odds are impossible

i have 4 discards

[limber leaf]

If you dont draw the glass card it can end the run

[limber leaf]

Do u mean second? You only have 1 negative joker

[grizzled robin]

nope, i got this triboulet really late

i ectoed a photograph

which i then sold to invis joker my blueprint

didnt know the run would go this way 🙁

[limber leaf]

Why woild you sell that to buy the invis, you shouldve just sold anything else

[grizzled robin]

got to e28 jst now

nice

[grizzled robin]

huh? i sold it so invis doesnt copy photograph

the photograph was negative

[limber leaf]

Ig that makes sense but honestly im testing first

[grizzled robin]

ecto if im not mistaken copies the earliest joker

i mean gives negative

not copies

whatever

but yea thats how it works in the code

or atleast someone said so

i did some testing and it seems like it too

[limber leaf]

It copies a random joker

[grizzled robin]

nope

it seems that way but no

[limber leaf]

Also you can check either way

You can use it, if it dupes the wrong thing exit out and reenter then sell the thing it duped

[grizzled robin]

yea bro but thats cheating

tbf i do it sometimes when im trying to max out a run for fun

[limber leaf]

How bro

[grizzled robin]

genuinely a 10/10 run

[grizzled robin]

what do you actually mean how? backing out by save scumming so you get better results in a game is cheating

[night turret]

Is this possibly a bad play?

[eager summit]

non-perishable was surprisingly easy

[night turret]

Kinda wanna see where I can get with this

[grizzled robin]

u mean perishable only?

and yes it obviously is easy

[limber leaf]

Its not cheaying if its a SINGLE PLAYER GAME

[grizzled robin]

nowhere mate

[night turret]

Honestly it’s an easy challenge

[eager summit]

wdym perishable only

[grizzled robin]

whatever u say

bro

[night turret]

Really?

It’s got about 20 mult on each

[grizzled robin]

what does non perishable mean 😭

[eager summit]

all jokers are eternal

[ancient gyro]

context clues

[night turret]

Bro doesn’t use his thinking cap

[grizzled robin]

aha

well yea

its easy

slighttt confusion but thats what i was trynna say

[eager summit]

got an ankh on my shoot the moon

[limber leaf]

Hell yeah

[grizzled robin]

oh my fucking god this run 😭

[limber leaf]

Showmans gotta go ig

[grizzled robin]

ye ofc

still love showman

[limber leaf]

Yeah ofc

[grizzled robin]

the thing is

if i get palette i can genuinely go for a 3rd ectoplasm

all i need is 1 card in hand because i have 5 dnas LOL

this shit is so funny

[plain briar]

easiest gold stake run

[limber leaf]

Its 4th tho

Meaning youd die instantly

[grizzled robin]

oh

shi

negative juggler?!?!? #coping

[limber leaf]

Still wouldnt be enough i dont think

[meager narwhal]

First nat negative rare

[grizzled robin]

would

[limber leaf]

And you got the worst one

[grizzled robin]

i think

with palette i mean

5-4

=1

with 5 dnas im good

[fiery nymph]

???????

[grizzled robin]

but ts aint happening

[fiery nymph]

WHAT

ur calling OBELISK the worst rare

[limber leaf]

Yes i am

[fiery nymph]

okay so one of the strongest xmult scalers is the worst rare

[limber leaf]

Whats pallette

[ancient gyro]

sigh

[fiery nymph]

where things like drivers license exist btw

and you think obelisk is the worst

[ancient gyro]

oh but you know what the worst rare is

[heady fable]

Blessed with round one hologram and ante 3 foil pants

[frank grove]

The deja vu of seeing people say obelisk bad/worst in this channel everyday 😭

[limber leaf]

Yep ofccc

[meager narwhal]

Incorrect opinion

[fiery nymph]

white stake take

🥀

[grizzled robin]

its the voucher after brush

gives +1 hand size

[ancient gyro]

what's palette

[grizzled robin]

is that not how its called?

like what do u guys mean

[fiery nymph]

its a joke

[ancient gyro]

im being pedantic

[grizzled robin]

ok

mb

too sleepy

[limber leaf]

Ok not the worst (forgot abt the family type cards) but notthe greatest like you guys are glazing it to be

[grizzled robin]

its 1am im playing balatro and i will keep doing it

[viral ledge]

how do i use burnt joker effectively? every time i get it i end up just leveling up high card or pair and never using that

[grizzled robin]

burnt joker is just not that good

takes up a slot

[fiery nymph]

okay

[grizzled robin]

can kill runs

[fiery nymph]

what are these HORRIBLE takes

[limber leaf]

Hot take btw

[grizzled robin]

its situationally good because you have to be at a point in the game

where u can survive with -1 joker slot

AND have a lot of discards to level up ur good poker hands

[void lintel]

pretty much a pairslop joker

[ancient gyro]

you're not built for the streets son

[fiery nymph]

its not the greatest but it is def one of the best

[limber leaf]

Worst scaling rare joker imo tho

[frank grove]

you can win a lot of runs with an econ and a utility joker (like burnt) and still be fine?

[fiery nymph]

.2 xmult per hand

is bad?

[grizzled robin]

and in most cases its hard to level up anything otehr than high card/pair bro

[frank grove]

and pair wins runs bro

[grizzled robin]

and it literally makes you think twice about what discards u use, bad mail in rebates, bad with trading card etc

[terse imp]

im done

[grizzled robin]

its just bad

[limber leaf]

Bc you usually build around 1 hand type which defeats its purpose

[ancient gyro]

yeah red card just isn't that good imo

[grizzled robin]

no youre not? use dna

or

[fiery nymph]

ur just not good enough to build around more than one hand type thats whats happening

[grizzled robin]

wait

[ancient gyro]

usually?

[grizzled robin]

im stupid

[terse imp]

the hand got voided and i got no extra cards

[grizzled robin]

mb

no i forgot it wont copy

ur right

[viral raft]

free planet lvl per round

[frank grove]

just use your hands first and then discard its truly not that much to think about

[limber leaf]

Most people push for one or 2 hand types which leaves it ineffective

I think campfires better tho

[hexed tundra]

I made a Balatro tier list

[ancient gyro]

tbf most ppl aren't the greatest at this game in terms of skill expression

[limber leaf]

Thats kinda true

[fiery nymph]

most players =/= good players

[frank grove]

Yeah also chips jokers exist

[limber leaf]

You mean ≠?

[viral raft]

never cook again 😭

[fiery nymph]

yes

[limber leaf]

Barely

[fiery nymph]

okay

[heady fable]

Bimbo × hologram synergy was funny

[terse vale]

lets go up to the roof

[fiery nymph]

is this ragebait

[terse vale]

cmon

its a nice day out

[hexed tundra]

Obelisk player detected

[limber leaf]

Finally my people

[terse vale]

you don’t know how 2 use obelisk

[fiery nymph]

or grimbo

😣

[ancient gyro]

yeah just ignore my screenshot

[viral raft]

Green joker and dagger as the same tier is just criminal

i don't care about Obelisk

[grizzled robin]

wow not to be offensive but you could pick funnier names

thats just like

[heady fable]

Have you ever actually used it or was this take revealed to you in a dream

[grizzled robin]

😭

[hexed tundra]

Obelisk player detected

[grizzled robin]

yes i actually had a run where i got a negative burnt joker

• a normal negative burnt joker

[hexed tundra]

Both are terrible

[grizzled robin]

but it was late in the run and i had 15 other negatives

carrying

in that situation sure! its good

[viral raft]

???

[fiery nymph]

its ragebait

[grizzled robin]

hes right

[barren wigeon]

anyone here who played the balatro demo?

[terse vale]

either you get every hand to five and you think its bad because of that or you’ve picked up obelisk once and lost and decided its viability off of that

[limber leaf]

Ok heres the real question tho whats worse campfire or obelisk

[barren wigeon]

and if so, can you explain the pattern voucher?

[barren wigeon]

both are great jokers

[heady fable]

Yeah you aren't supposed to keep it forever you get the hand to the desired level and then sell out, it's incredibly strong early and can be run defining

[viral raft]

less bad*

[hexed tundra]

I am not changing all my strat for ONE joker, homie

[terse vale]

photograph

[frank grove]

https://balatrowiki.org/w/Unused_content_in_Balatro#Pattern

[limber leaf]

No i mean more bad

[nova mantle]

lwk the only legendary ive instantly sold

[grizzled robin]

i really cant wait for the balatro update bro

[viral ledge]

this build is running on stardust

[grizzled robin]

the 2nd best one?

[viral raft]

less good*

[terse vale]

so its based off of personal playstyle rather than how good the joker actually is

I should have anticipated that

[hexed tundra]

Not sacrificing jokers for a +3 mult

[limber leaf]

Ok this has gotta be ragebait

[limber leaf]

Thank you

[barren wigeon]

yeah I saw, the issue im having is "spawns your most used tarot card" doesnt really mean anything

like when does it do this

[ancient gyro]

worst one*

[barren wigeon]

when you buy the voucher and then never again?

[nova mantle]

son 😭 💔

[viral raft]

is a good joker scaler lmao

[ancient gyro]

which is still an A- in terms of average performance

[frank grove]

when you buy the voucher you get the most used tarot or planet whichever is higher and then the tier two will give you the most used joker

[viral raft]

just scale it alot then just play it as your +mult joker

[grizzled robin]

huh

[barren wigeon]

oh well that doesnt sound good at all

[grizzled robin]

how is trib a bad joker u guys are ragebaiting

[hexed tundra]

No one would genuinely stop using their whole strat only to get 0.2x extra, there are better jokers than that

[terse vale]

it has photochad (good combo I hate to admit it) straights (its basically a x2 but still gets fucked because on score) and early scoring

[barren wigeon]

tier 2 sounds okay

[ancient gyro]

it's not bad, it's just the worst legendary

[viral raft]

is really good but is probably the worst legendary

[grizzled robin]

?? lol

[terse vale]

don’t simplify it like that

[barren wigeon]

this exactly

[grizzled robin]

how is yorick better

[terse vale]

0.2 per hand

[grizzled robin]

💔

[sly girder]

no joker is technically good or bad, it depends on context, and in this context it's bad

[ebon condor]

favorite thing about this statement is that dagger literally cannot give +3 mult from a joker

[frank grove]

yeah

[grizzled robin]

its so easy to build for facecards

its my go to

[ancient gyro]

this conversation has been brought up for the past two years and nothing has changed

[limber leaf]

Ig but at the same time it definitely has its moments

[grizzled robin]

all endless builds need to be facecards if you want to stand a chance, literally

[hexed tundra]

It's like that, you have to change your game every once in a while just to keep the obelisk

[viral raft]

Yorick is literally the best legendary with Perkeo and Canio 😭

[terse vale]

obelisk is one of the fastest scaling jokers in the game but you’re probably not even reading this message

[barren wigeon]

+1x every ante? getting even more if you have discard vouchers

[ancient gyro]

not talking about endless

[grizzled robin]

😭

[ebon condor]

most people dont care about endless so

[barren wigeon]

endless build, opinion disregarded

[fiery nymph]

its per hand so usually you geto to scale a lot, and in other occasions (if you are good) changing hands simply isnt a drawback! so you get an incredibly fast scaler with little to no drawback

[hexed tundra]

No one has gotten NANeINF with obelisk

[ancient gyro]

there's only 8 antes,

[sly girder]

perkeo is not great

[terse vale]

dude

[ancient gyro]

well

[terse vale]

so what

[fiery nymph]

yeah thats a horrible argument

[frank grove]

its technically possible btw

[terse vale]

what does naninf have to do with anything

[viral raft]

truthnuke, is a great support but Canio/yorick are better

[hexed tundra]

Why would you torture yourself?

[terse vale]

literally anything

[frank grove]

with perkeo and ecto anhk you can do it

but that isnt really the argument

[limber leaf]

Actually on my old account i did

[grizzled robin]

but seriously if you arent playing for endless most of the time, how is the game fun

[terse vale]

oh obelisk cant naneinf its a shit joker now awwww man

[hexed tundra]

Proof?

[barren wigeon]

idiot talking about naneinf when it comes to usefulness of jokers

[frank grove]

who cares if things can naneinf barely anything can

[grizzled robin]

gold stake is not that hard (no ragebait)

[ancient gyro]

htr has been naneinfd before, that doesn't really account for anything

[grizzled robin]

or rather, a bit repetitive

[fiery nymph]

the game idnt even designed to naninf this is a shit argument

[barren wigeon]

do you have C++

[ebon condor]

people like to go for gold stake winstreaks

and thats the main way people judge the viability of jokers

[ancient gyro]

ooo you should do black++

[fiery nymph]

endless is hot shit

[viral raft]

just won with shitty stuff in gold stake

[limber leaf]

I just said it was my old acc and ive been here on your side the whole time bruh

[hexed tundra]

It's not a good joker for scaling, there are better jokers for that, retro is even better than obelisk

[grizzled robin]

what that

[barren wigeon]

yeah youre shitty

[terse vale]

making smart decisions and getting rewarded is fun for me
you can only see number go up so many times

[sly girder]

true true, but often times ive lost by chasing perkeo and losing because im trying to make it work. i guess at minimum if you have a tarot it's a gold joker because you can sell the negative tarots for 4 dollars. it's definitely not bad, but id rather have yorick or canio, or even chicot in a lot of my gold stake runs

[frank grove]

Cause in ante 8 you can actually use jokers outside of like ... 12 jokers

[viral raft]

son 😭

[grizzled robin]

but

what does it fucking mean

i just got back to balatro after 2 years chill

[barren wigeon]

completionist++

[ancient gyro]

figures

[frank grove]

completionist++ (gold sticker on every joker, win a gs run with every joker)

[grizzled robin]

andddd ive upset a community so now theyre gonna larp their way into making me believe balatro has to be hard

[terse vale]

did you miss the part where I said its the fastest scaling joker
then you’re gonna say “but playstyle” just because it doesn’t fit with your playstyle doesn’t mean its not good

[grizzled robin]

like i said

gold stake gets repetitive

not easy

by ALL standards

[ancient gyro]

you can make it fun

[barren wigeon]

...so you dont have C++ and youre saying its repetitive

[terse vale]

bro

[ancient gyro]

doing black++ is pretty cool

[ebon condor]

yall quit dogging on them calm down

[barren wigeon]

yeah no shit the game gets repetitive if you spam photochad

[grizzled robin]

ive done gold stake lots of times

[limber leaf]

Ykw im swapping teams, obelisk is a good joker

[fiery nymph]

thanks

[ebon condor]

some people find gold stake fun, and when discussing the strength of jokers, gold stake is the metric generally used

[viral raft]

kinda true but is not for everyone lmao, specially if you try to won consistenly

[sly girder]

it's always been good

[terse vale]

calling us larpers

[barren wigeon]

you know how you make it not repetitive?

[terse vale]

like man

[limber leaf]

I know i just hadnt noticed till now

[barren wigeon]

by winning using different methods

[viral raft]

true, because literally anything works in white stake 😭

[ebon condor]

endless is its own discussion and the viablity of endless jokers should be separated in both discussion and in your mind

[barren wigeon]

🤯

[grizzled robin]

yea but all i asked was "how do you guys find not playing endless fun" and you guys are acting like i told u to jump off a building

like wtf im not even trying to ragebait

[sly girder]

happens. it's really easy to oversight certain jokers because they dont fit your playstyle. i didnt use obelisk for a while

[terse vale]

yes me too
what i’m saying is you can have fun however you want! its just that for joker viability conversations its usually ante 8 gold stake

[barren wigeon]

thats not all you asked???

[limber leaf]

Fr

[viral raft]

because is just play the same build over and over until a boss counter appears

[frank grove]

I find endless runs way more repetitive than gold stake ante 8 has ever been

[viral raft]

Endless is just boring

[grizzled robin]

eh fair

[ebon condor]

i will admit the only fun in endless is big number

[fiery nymph]

yeah i love my runs to be based off of luck

[barren wigeon]

take accountability son son

[grizzled robin]

im sure next update endless gonna have a point i just feel it 🙏

[viral raft]

is just go baron mime build until you just got bad luck and dies

[ebon condor]

theres very few builds that actually care much about endless

[barren wigeon]

runs are only luck based if youre bad

[ancient gyro]

i talk about the game based on the intentions of including every joker into its intended a8 gs balance. endless has 7ish existing naneinf setups and the three most common setups are getting removed next update without being explicitly targeted

[viral raft]

Idol and Baron builds

[grizzled robin]

yea

[sly girder]

i kinda disagree? it's sometimes fun going for highschore runs. not every single run obviously, and i enjoy the variety of gold stake more, but endless can be fun

[hexed tundra]

It doesn't fit at all with anything, you need to play a hand a lot so obelisk doesn't scale so fast and you lose it again, and if you play a hand a lot it's because your deck and jokers revolve around that hand, changing all your game just to get obelisk in your jokers is just dumb and useless. If you get obelisk at early game you will have to play so many different hands, mid game? Change all your jokers quickly (tons of money or tons of luck) and in late game it's just too late...

(English is not my main language, sorry if y'all don't understand a lot)

[fiery nymph]

im talking naninf / high ante runs

its boring

[grizzled robin]

every balatro run is winnable if im not mistaken

[barren wigeon]

point still stands

its only luck based if youre bad

[fiery nymph]

seeds have limitations

not every seed can naninf

[limber leaf]

Also btw the argument that obelisk is bad cos no naninf potential is just plain wrong by @hexed tundra

[barren wigeon]

prove it

[sly girder]

i think that's wrong?

[viral raft]

"can" be fun, yes, but most of the time you're just playing the same strategy until the boss blind kills you :/

[hexed tundra]

It's Bad for early, mid and late game

[fiery nymph]

at least i dont think so

[sly girder]

i remember hearing that it is possible on every seed

[fiery nymph]

doc said each seed can e20

[terse vale]

before I read this I just want to say that I appreciate you engaging with this in a concise and well thought out way

[barren wigeon]

we will never know as there are like trillions of seeds

[frank grove]

naninf runs rely on vouchers a lot if a seed just doesnt have a voucher/voucher tag and you cant get reroll you probably will die unless you also get crimson

[willow frost]

nah not every seed

[nova mantle]

what the hell?

[hexed tundra]

Ah np 👍

Ty

[sly girder]

yeah, ESPECIALLY baron. i despise baron so much, i understand it's good, but it's soooooo awful that i have to wait for my hand to score for 19 years, just to do it over and over

[willow frost]

usually bad vouchers make seeds impossible to naneinf on

[nova mantle]

if this one is canio its gonna be mad lucky lmao

[sly girder]

every once in a while, sure it's fun, which is what i was getting at

[hexed tundra]

Take the magician, trust

[viral raft]

i hate baron, his literal purpose is for baron mime build and that's it

[sly girder]

but im not gonna wanna play 3 back to back 3 hour runs of baron mime spamming

[sly girder]

trueee

[nova mantle]

ofc...

[sly girder]

THE GOAT

[hexed tundra]

It's not that bad, come on

[limber leaf]

Not the point tho, the point is that 90% of jokers cant do it either

[nova mantle]

well its better than nothing

[viral raft]

like in gold stake or in a save run baron is 99% of the times useless

[nova mantle]

atleast i didnt get a second trib

[ancient gyro]

:P

[barren wigeon]

the plant shivers when chicot loses his temper

[sly girder]

i feel like obelisk is so versatile. you only need like 15 hands played in a hand for it to carry you to ante 8\

[terse vale]

it’s a hand agnostic joker, meaning it fits with anything as long as you don’t need to play a specific hand! One of the only problems is how chips from planets is out of the question

what I usually do, is when I find obelisk early, I spam pairs. pairs because you’re never forced to play it, unlike high card, and because its very very easy to draw! I spam pairs so I can build a stack of one hand! once i’m done scaling, all I have to do is play any hand BUT pair, and it scales like crazy

also youre never forced to take obelisk

[sly girder]

assuming you play it right

[ancient gyro]

or 7 if you're silly

[viral raft]

"this card is bad in endless!!" so with that logic 90% of the jokers are just trash 😭

[sly girder]

i mena

[limber leaf]

Exactly my point earlier lol

[terse vale]

you know I once looked up to c++ players as like the sweats of balatro

[sly girder]

the game isnt made for endless at all anyways

so

it doesnt matter

[frank grove]

Yeah the argument that a joker is bad cause it doesnt do anything in endless is silly

[terse vale]

I never thought i’d be talking like this when I started playing

[viral raft]

theres literally a reason that theres a ANTE limit to 8

because you won in 8

[sly girder]

yerp

[barren wigeon]

took madness then remembered im not on gold stake

[viral raft]

the game is designed to work until 8

then is just random shit

[ancient gyro]

pretty much

[bleak atlas]

hmmmm what do i do here?

[limber leaf]

How is idol in before set up

[grizzled robin]

photograph in useless

[worthy tinsel]

[grizzled robin]

aaaaaaaand list invalid

[barren wigeon]

is this for baron builds specifically

[sly girder]

❌

[grizzled robin]

never lost a run where i had photochad dont think

[viral raft]

idol in setup?

[willow frost]

is that what tipped you off lol

[sly girder]

it's talking about endless

[grizzled robin]

ah endless

[sly girder]

i think?

[terse vale]

mention photograph without mentioning photochad challenge

[frank grove]

I think im selling sock and copying chad with bp

[grizzled robin]

this guy just has the tierlists on speed dial? or

for every situation

[willow frost]

only use of photograph

[ebon condor]

i think its more specifically naneinf

[ancient gyro]

can't naneinf with idol without unorthodox setups

[limber leaf]

Then why is idol in presetup

[ebon condor]

which isnt technically endless

[hexed tundra]

This revolves around very specific jokers and the luck you get, you had to change your game for this to work properly

[ancient gyro]

it's just a naneinf tier list

[ebon condor]

but its the logical conclusion

[barren wigeon]

ah I see

[terse vale]

honestly in my one highscore run vagabond was not that bad for setting up since I didn’t have perkeo

[limber leaf]

Same goes for baron

[sly girder]

meanwhile, hanging chad has super high money potential with gold seals and golden ticket, and a ton of other stuff
