I like the giftcard
green needle is not a joker
red card is good but
gift card is cool
kinda boring
the context clues aren't too hard idt
Yuh just stonks all ur cards
huge flat mult scaling
gift card is fun
Stm no idea glassy no idea obelisk canio
my least favorites are like
bloodstone and idol because i don't like chance based scoring
dataminer
shoot the moon
SHOOT THE MOON
fr
But idk I never get red seals
oh like the joker that gives +1$ per point of interest?
red seals aren't required
13 mult is plentiful
balatro discord players trying their hardest to not send death threats challenge (someone called a joker other than showman bad)
Rocket ❤️🩹
chad is here and photo is not
My favorite econ
Is showman bad? It gets me through early so often
i wonder where the 13 mult came from
he's the best around
Wait no thats stuntman
stuntman is good
showman makes it so the same jokers can show up
one of the better rares
and same tarots
They never do btw
showman is for endless pretty much
Fucking scam
lmao
I only get 2 high card planets in a 1 card pack
famously bad joker obelisk (and this wasnt even that optimal scaling either i could've got it higher)
i kinda like stuntman if im low on chips
So its 6 mult?
i almost always take stuntman
square joker mogs
X6.4 mult and i couldve got it to like 8 if i was playing slower and didnt have the two brainstorms
but he is very instant which is why hes good
hes at its best when you dont got any planet levels on pair
butttttt
🥀
when no one got me ik stuntman is there for me
i have two brainstorms
i think all scaling chip jokers other than wee are about equal in effectiveness
he has different functions over chip scalers in that it's already scaled
Is the negative joker hand size
No it was a nat neg brainstorm in like ante 3 or something
and the stm i just found whilst rolling
The right most
yeah wee is the best chip source in my opinion
i like using stuntman with high card
and took it for fun
gonna alter my hand size where a pair of 2s is my ev
i dont think its crazy to say though
So how do you have 7 hand size with stuntman
paint brush voucher
stuntman is particularly effective on painted
he pretty much supports every hand that doesnt have enough chips via planet
lobotomy but with two pairs
Yeah
which makes the "drawback" of a smaller hand size less of an issue
pair/2pair/straights/multiple non joker scoring options
Is that a joker or idk
spare trousers
What does that last thing mean?
it's a nickname given for scaling +mult pair builds
That does make sense
Non joker scoring options so planet cards and chariots?
scoring sources that don't require a joker slot (enhancements, planets)
Thanks
Im sorry if I ask too many easy questions
ur good
Hi
Im biased so straights but two pair is probably the right answer
I hate BLoodstone
i have no successful gold stake straight run
two pair on the other hand i have a lot
but ill consider that a skill issue
i have quite a lot of good straight runs
😔
but i do really like straights so whenever i see the gates open im diving
mmmm see
Who was it that said hologram was insane
sell faceless after using it next boss?
I need hologram and dna right
hologram and dna is cool
hologram is a very consistent scaling xmult joker
it depends on what your first mult source is
So ante 1 its really good?
2 pairs have more joker options
like anywhere until 5
Yeah
Okay I will try it now then
i find it awfully hard to get things like shortcut for straights
And I spam card packs and pairs
pretty good already
i think straights require a lot more game knowledge but can be very powerful when i do
im just not at that point yet
straights are more picky on what tools they need to make them work as well as they do
Yeah
yeah its easier to pivot to 2pair instead of straights
HOW I KEEP DRAWING THOSE BLUE SEALS
i honestly just use two pair in runs where i dont have a crazy prominent chip source for pairs
has anyone even gotten naneinf without mime or baron
2 pair itself can pivot to other oak hands
Yeah
yeah
how
perkeo
on my first ever c++ i ended up getting all 3 of my remaining jokers in one run (perkeo, troub, and some random common)
other methods usually require perkeo
Bean bug or perkeo
ok other than perkeo?
whats that
+5 permanent hand size every time crimsom heart disables bean
if you have like 30 socks with ecto anhkk then it can iirc?
but thats with red seal poly glass
so a lot of things have to lineup and thats tough
Yeah, scaled it to x9, still, it was in the first shop and I had to think a lot, but it's great for early game

very tough yes, just need enough ectos and ankhs and eternals... and perkeo..
just luck slop
tbh
but very rare for anyone to do that legit
there's also the chicot bug
oh yea but thats +1 hand size only
no
it's consistent though
f5 can't cant naneinf without legendaries or a specific bug
with bean bug you can play a flush five and still nan right? but like thats not really flush five naneinfing so no
up to +5 per hand
Does a finisher blind appear if you somehow manage to be and ante -8?
can't be at ante -8
Also is it even possible to be below -1?
hello chat
runner
runner
runner
Dont I rush 25 dolla
but how naneinf with this? or just steel cards
lots of steel cards, copy jokers and mime yes
I rather have a chip source mid to late game
I see
runner i guess.. only since youre in painted deck
straights are hard for new players icl
also if i was you i wouldnt ask for advice too much
I can try
runner is normally a must grab in general
just experience the game yourself
Ope guess I cant win lmao
as a pair joker
Ive been playing for a month
ah i see
Kinda sick of my 1% winrate
GOD i love vagabond
Its a joke.
xd
Im just really bad
👅
i think
@sly girder I don't think I'm doing all five stickers at once, but surely I'll get Stone Joker with this one
fs
now dear viewer I want you to think what went wrong in this interaction
jusdt dont listen to the propaganda and play for photochads bro xd maybe the game wont be as fun or engaging but youll win way more
u already won :)
then again when i say this im subjecting myself to atleast 30 hate replies but
well
I mean you are wrong
not hating just saying you’re kinda wrong
there we go xd
noo not my cards...
being neurodivergent is how the game rewards you
balatro player reading challenge
to be fair talking here is fully optional
I like facecards so easy and consistent but u just dont really win many runs
Or me atleast
complaining that your take will get backlash when you could just not say the take if it bothers you
Died
just seems a little self inflicted
nope i was just trying to be a sigma evil mastermind and predict the hate comments
At least I've got this
calm down
ohhh i see, carry on
how did you not get the joke
hooray
thats exactly why i said "there we go"
my goat space man
what joke 
All ur runs just have poly jokers
that you said "no hate" and i acted like u hated bro
whatever
is there literally anything i can do lmao
the card you start with gives you a poly
Thats the theme of the deck?
I'll die if I take space joker, you know
I see
guess it wasnt very obvious
theme of the deck
i dont care
Ghost deck
didn't somebody get banned for inciting negative vibes
this is common occurrence where people do not read replies I apologize 😭 I didn’t know you were joking
o

I kind of need space and he's such a joker
eyes
well you didn’t bring any glass

youre fine dw it wasnt very obvious now that i look at it
and also chose pareidolia
Was a nice run aezar
am i next
what would that even do
in this situation
well yeah no duh
the jokes might actually kill me
it worked w my synergy
rule 10 moment 🥀
Bahaha
Do you guys always take spectrals
lose ig
I always do
Not really
I regret it alot
like spectral packs ?
lmfao bro jus typin shi
on streak runs I'll think more about it
not always no
but generally I try to
What are streak runs? Like winstreaks?
yeah
ya
✌️
Get it peace cause of 2
This run will make him green with envy
well spectral cards are actually pretty cheap and worth picking up... worst case you end up with a decent seal which you know, cant say no to that
mine is 5 but I got blueprint on 2 of those runs so I feel like its cheated
Uh, so
immolates are S tier too early game aswell
Wraith was set gold to 0 get a rare joker right
Guess how I lost
correct
Five too
please stop with the jokes or else i will +1 mult on hand played and -1 mult on discard. Polychrome: 1.5x mult when triggered
Is five a lot
the first ecto is amazing if your combo is locked in
the second is rarely takeable, and any more screws you
Some might say you were joke(r)less
worst case the shop weight of 2 actually kills your run from reducing your joker weight probabilities (not too impactful)
well played actually
i liked that one
Are soul cards in spectral packs I only found them in arcanas
is this.. net gains..?
Two on my main file, lol
Is it more common in arcana or is there no stat
might be
more common in arcana since you get more arcana
and more options
I see
real mfs will sell the joker you have then buy the temperance
to just really teach a lesson about saving money
legit
on average its marginally more common as there are more consumables and arcana frequency. the probability is 0.3% per consulable
Thanks
I play really fast and I have no idea on how to teach, mainly because I don't speak english 
what language
I think its only middle of the streak rankings ?
Spanish
hola
Bruh
el gato
Whats the highest like 10?
no habla espanol
highest streak ever?
Stop, I'm laughing for real 😭
I think 89
Its doc
el helpo me
With the 100% no death
highest for gs is 93 on blue deck
doc only got like 62
Oh
I say “only” in comparison to the blue deck guy
highest on black deck gs afaik is 7
93 is insane
What are you trying to say, dawg
by the way you dont even need any eco at all if you have tarot tycoon and overstock plus
which is what I'm trying to beat
right?
please help me
cause its just infinite temperances and hermits
Is there a no stake win streak thats like 400
por favor sen~or
thought it would have been something like 20 idk why
i dont have an international keyboard
theoretically it would be in the trillions as there isn't proven to be an unwinnable seed yet
without bugs
well you should probably vive'
is that live in spanish
how am i doing
it could be in theory
In this case it's actually "vivir"
but idk bout now
I only know brookes black deck gs since she actually played it while I was in chat
vivir is "to live" though?
i was like
i guess i did past tense
so it doenst work
I get to 35 first?
prob
vive is the present he/she/you formal
lmfao
vivir is untensed
Is that why in one piece its called vivre card
;-; when will i get my nan inf
obelisk build >:)
i know vivir is to live
you only have to try to find a way to kill ante 24
Whats that joker
idk you're pretty good
ill grab a knive and stab it
senor huezos
perkeo
no antimatter rip
thats mod 💀
Ohh
good choice
I actually don't remember how it's called on spanish, I guess it is Señor Huesos
like look, i get how endless runs get boring, but you gotta admit its fun seeing the high numbers
Ur fried right +e4 impossible now?
at the same time theres literally nothing i can do now and i will eventually just die xd
dang it
maybe not the in game knife, that one's not very helpful
yeee
the cult dagger stinks
having a sneezing fit after doing an intense ab workout the day before really sucks
no it dont
oh all 5 of my glass cards just broke at once
oh dang
boring run ngl
if it could sac the ante 24 boss blind maybe
Free win
for every bad take mentioned in chat, I have ten gs black deck screenshots to ratio against 🐘
give me a deck to use (not red because i already finished it on gold stake)
anyways
black
its not great but it works most of the time
black
its like B-
buh bye
at least i only have it on red stake i guess…
buh bye senor out
3 stickers
balala
boy you are going to suffer
Just realised I only have 4 joker slots
painted++?
paintedmaxxing
Stencil op
well I wannna join in on the fun too
gimme a deck thats not black painted or PLASMA
Green
green 🤔
zodiac
i hate green sm
welp
what the judgement
Guys, my friend told me that Obelisk is the worst rare Joker. Idk how to show him how to use it
green++ it is
magic
oh
I mean lowkey
i think i'm going droll over spectral
I don’t really wanna do green
forcefully reset obelisk ever hand, then when its time play a different hand
that just seems safer i think
do zodiac
its between magic and zodiac since those provide a fun spin on the game without changing how you play completely
I love zodiac deck
i got a michel early
Im the friend I guess
I think i’ll just flip a coin
I wanna know what abandoned++ profile stats look like
it went extinct next round
ooh i should do abandoned only c++
oooo wait yeah
i'm dead
alright argil can then 
C++ but every run has to be on the next deck

heads for zodiac tails for magic
c++ but on jokerless
Yeah half joker is so good
if u wanna
and you have to win with every possible combination of cards in hand
thats basically how i did a lot of my c++ runs anyway
tails 
I can't believe it's not getting nerfed
well probably because fist exists
I hate BLoodstone
and it's probably better for its niche
Does using strength even make sense in straight runs
- you can't change deck 'till you win
What do I strength
the only annoying part is getting completionist and actually unlocking magic deck
for inflating middle ranks a little bit, you could do that
i still haven't discovered planet tycoon on my black deck profile
my quick math was off...
yeah you dont want really low or really high straights
wait what am I complaining about
I could unlock all
theyre less consistent
yeah
unless your deck is fixed
making more aces is also not that good
Dont you have 4 of each card
the chips from the cards wont matter later
high straights are not in as many straight combinations
Queen/jack - 6/5 is usually the call
A, 2, and Ks appear in 2 total straight combinations
Its not a circle its a chain
would be true if you could do smth like king ace 2 3 4
but you cant
I THOUGHT I WAS DEAD BUT THAT STRAIGHT SAVED ME 😭
but 5-10 appear in 5 different straight combinations
first abandoned++ run 🔥
Okay so I want 5-Q?
Good advice thanks
5 is fibbable and hackable, J has all face card joker perks
I guesss
Holy fuck I win?
with green its fine
if you have very good deck fixing tools and not just average, you can prioritize cutting low cards before ace faces at all
I sell the right most right
Free win
Okay okay so ramen
4 jokers is so little
I know, I just didn't wanted to give up on delayed gratification yet
ramen is kinda buns in a straight build
something simple like a photograph works but if you go with lower straight then
even with painted shortcut, if you have any value cards in your deck, you're usually discarding cards to find them more frequently
gold cards, blue seals, etc
Like this
yeah if you go with straight that has a face card
But now I alr am 7 dolla deep
gives a good amount of mult
Into that joker
oh my bad I didn’t notice you had delgrat
assuming you have good straight levels yeah that works
even better if you have retriggers
wait how are you at 4 dollars
you’re not scaling const under interest cap aarrree you…
I dont
I dont either
ah
Is this game worth the hype? It seems kinda different to the last few games I played
how many lv then itss gotta be like lv5 at least no?
gulp
If I wasnt talking in this chat I dont take photograph here and I just go next cause I want more tarots
Do I have news for you
Is that stupid
oh my god bro
how are you not upgrading your hands
I never do idk
lol
son
chips are important
I always buy tarots
buy both bro
I also buy card packs over planets
R u paying? 😭
no but the win pays you
well its only white stake so you couldddd get away with it
but later stakes you gonna need those planet cards
And is there any disadvantage to playing on mobile? I’ve been looking for new games to play on my phone
no
well you still have a good amount of money
I got fucking scammed
buy more
Ok boss
maybe find a telescope
2 pair
This is like, one of the best things that happened to me
you're currently hand agnostic rn
can you kill it
im blind
what
Dear Black Deck,
Fuck you.
Regards,
Whats 4oak
I took high card
Most played
High card doesnt even call me twin no more they call me clone
bro thought ts would defeat me 
But I guess two pair must be better
justice from emperor from purple seal
understandable hate
what do i even do
joyous negative rental perishable joker
you just play normally....copy the hologram bro
u already won
Four stickers left
you know
😭
I tried to post the gif of markiplier ragequitting Getting Over It
the thought never crossed my mind that a black hole could be in a spectral pack
idk why
ur right
or arcana if you bought omen globen
i just have always gotten them from celestials until now
Negative flowers looks good bro damn
ok close
Is this worth over tarot card
Hey, you won thats all that matters
It doesn't look THAT good
lmk when you get 43 abandoned win streak
Cause tarot card gives me deck fixing potentially right
no
Its lwk sexy tho
workin on it
It's a flower pot, bro 😭
for reference vayn has a 42 win streak on checkered
Gold stake I guess
Would
igb
i don't have evidence to prove abandoned top 3 in something
yeah
lets get throwback out of the way i guess ...
o
if throwback was buffed to 0.75x would it become a good joker
theres investment tag so its actually not going to be a paper weight either
×0.5*
0.75 is too much?
×0.75 is way too much
just revert its last rework
x0.5 works
ok not actually that bad to get out of the way either
Full houses run incoming
pot isn't the worst thing on abandoned
yeah it isnt that bad on abandoned
smol deck
if you win with that stupid lineup
If there is hand size why isn't there Discard size
hand size = amount of cards in hand
Not the same thing
one more gold sticker left for painted++
an iq too high?
precisely, thats why there isnt discard size
Yeah but just tought if it
if discard size exist then hand played size have to exist too
I believe that investment tag it's a lot better if it appears on the second blind
🤔
Novice is this good enough for xmult
....kinda?
Niche
So I keep tarot
Okay
Better than loyalty card ig
ehh no
Wait
depends
Oh god
If u gonna rely on it then no
well
Dont take it
is it though
Find something else
in this case it's actually worse
With 6 hands it maybe is not worth
acrobat is more reliable
hold my blue deck nacho tong
Js find something like blackboard or carp sharp
Mmm carp shard
forgetting the blueprint burglar is outrageous…
if you can draw your hand, loyality card would proc 1.5 times per blind vs one acrobat proc
card sharp on straight run 🤔
Never heard of carp sharp
its painted
Mmfgh
but hes doing straight
might be a bit much
yeah?
painted deck makes it easier to play straights
still
ik but what if
am i doing this right?
lowkey gng sound like tiktok commentor 🔥 💀
So spectral packs are always just bait?
you dont find straight
yes
am i seeing double
ecto isnt the worst thing to find
seeing double mentioned
But my straights are ruined maybe?
balatro reference 🤯🤯
ecto is right htere bro
Most of spectrals are bad, so yeah
Cheap xmult
bro you still have 9 card in hand
immolate, ankh on black stake
Okay
oh no 1 out of my 12 hand size
they're still worth buying in the lategame
No more like the cards no
Clubs are pretty based tbh
cryptid is overrated but also really underrated
whyd u nut
I cant do multiple hands straights
bc people think of naneinf when they see cryptid
but its really usefu for other builds too
cryptid is situational
you can still fully discard for a straight
if anything bad happens you can skip
Okay okay
Yeah some spectrals are great (medium, trance, inmolate, Hex and Ankh) but alot o them are baaad
well its easier to one shot either way
and hold 3 blue seals on top of that
if you have a good card to copy its good, if not then its bad
oh
you can just ignore the ecto
Mb
wait this is white stake
Yea
invis is going to give you shortcut i can see it
I havent unlocked it
actually wild rare
wild
skull emoji
Great thing it's not perishable
All of my duos are perishable
Im pretty new
that's the point of them playing on painted
ik im just reacting to the fact he picked ecto
Found my xmult

first shop wee???
Novice another interest voucher would be too much on ante 7 right?
i have an excuse to use this image now
https://www.reddit.com/r/balatro/s/TE2DYNS9yF ITS ALL WINMORE
3/21/26 balatrodle in 5
no
Microscopic joker?
immolate, trance, medium are excellent hits, talisman, deja, cryptid are solid too
those who baron
stuff like familiar can also be somewhat useful
they were trying to unlock invis
What's the worst spectral card
ouija
my two favorite joker ideas are "halve listed probabilities" and "scale when score catches fire"
luigi
definitely the most original and good ideas
Figures . . .
The dumbest way to beat plasma deck:
weegee sucks so fucking bad
Activate When score catches fire jokers do be fire
I think Balatro is the only community where you can say
“Show me your wee” and not get banned
incantation hater
the former is just gonna stink most of the time
the ace one sucks as well but luigi is so much worse
Tf2
I like grim
give me your seed.
grim is ok
Fair.
incantation is the worst one of the three because of variance
At least scholar build exist
Wee boot
true so does archie
fib's better for A
not even
If I unlock all, am I still eligible for achievements on that profile
just a guaranteed rank
buh buh buh
incantation is ONLY good with hologram
but i need to play my glass flush fives
I main Ze Doctor in tf2, i am become hate
800 hours and I can't kiss Jimbo, 0/10
grim also makes it so that aces are the easiest rank
snake eye joker will let me play braindead glass builds more
ace are epic rtb tech
What can this do? Or should I not buy it?
it does what it says on the tin
balatrodle in 3
it wouldn't make much sense to add something literally useless to the game though, would it
After you buy it ten times it unlocks antimatter, which gives you +1 jokers slot
balatrodle in 3
-w-
is fib a good jonkler
i saw concept for the hand xmult jokers (don’t know the term for them in the community, but like the family and the trio and junk) for high card and it was “gains .1x mult for every high card played” and i think that’s too good
showman
yes
Not really
Snecko Eye (Rare)
+2 hand size
All playing cards are debuffed if they would score in a played hand.
bbc value
i see some conflict here
it's one of the better on card scoring jokers
fib can be a good joker
ok gamed
YES
silly
do i need retriggers
it’s incredibly good early game, and can go good in late game with retrigggers
nah
later stages tho
you can get plentiful value with a 2 pair
Busted Crown (Rare)
Gain +1 hand and +1 discard per turn. Future booster packs have 1 fewer option available.
its either i find hack when playing 4oak face card run or i cant find hack whenever i do wee/fib
🤔
the day will come eventually…
Which is the easiest
guys yall should totes watch my stream
shit i found sock before i found hack 💀
yes
What would reversed joker effect look like
uncommons are uncommon and there’s like 60ish of them
all
all of the above
xray and rich is the easiest
okayyyy
all free
Thanks for the actual good answer
bro this is selective hearing they are literally all easy
Coffee Dripper (Rare)
+2 hands
No longer gain interest.
i won with rgr me personally
this tho
rgr is the easiest run in the game
essentially all are white stake + very minor setback/buff
you have to be trying to lose rgr
real answer though would probably be rich get richer it’s really easy
im all in biased favor of monolith
i somehow find cruelty the hardest 😭
free obelisk :3
it is very hard
Now that Ive unlocked it how do I use it
15 minute city is just a free gay run
free chip and x mult joker 😀
you kill someone and you buy it
selling isn't required
:D
But what to copy
essentially except it doesn’t get rid of everything
Prob the baseball best case no
What a useful negative. Should I roll for DNA if so what would I sell for it
to buy the invis they have to sell something
Oh yea thats why u sell
most do get rid of everything to guarantee chances for a certain hit though just like ankh
oh or were you talking about when they pop invis sorry
maybe blueprint
Extra selling value
baseball in a8, aj for flush specific scenarios
Yea im new to invis just unlocked it
Just get it when 🍃 /
shows up
invis is essentially an ankh that doesn’t get rid of everything
But here is pretty useless?
And extra sell value for that tarot
He probably already haves director's cut
you can hold it or kill it with a dagger if say it would have copied an unwanted eternal copy in gold stake or something
Negative
I have retcon
U can kill eternal cards?
But I wasn’t rlly being sarcastic it’s a nice safety net
no
Never used that ig
FINALLY I CAN TALK TO PEOPLE WHY THE FUCK DO I GET ETERNAL EGG LIKE EVERY TIME
isnt the point of egg to sell it
Is the game trolling me
No
no, they mean if invis hitting a bad eternal is too big a risk you can knife it and it won’t activate
Temperance, my child.
That's actually decent
swashbuckler/temprernce value
What does knife it mean
At least you get temperance value,
And piratey swashbuckler
Ohhh temperance
Yea
ceremonial dagger
Or you could be me and skip half the blinds and get fucked
Alright everyone, name me the non-legendary joker you use the most (that is not BarronMime, PhotoChad, Blueprint, or Brainstorm)
ceremonial dagger
no it’s to feed the knife with
I see the green black dagger
Fibonacci
consty
yes
just got the game today i luv the game
Wait
Can you knife eternal jokers
I never used knife, it seems too suck
egg is useful for swash and tempy
no
egg should always spawn as an eternal
shortcut
no point in selling
I havent discovered it cause it made no sense to me
no, but you can madness them odd enough
Serious answer is const
what kaiasann said
Rental egg bad
This it totally not related to anything I'm doing swear
I guess Baron Mime or Photo Chad, but I use blueprint and brainstorm a lot too
Yea I got it now thank you 🙂
not true, madness don’t work on eternals
