Holo

[wet burrow]

5 blood hits is 7.6x, but ur probably not getting 5

[lunar zealot]

Meet Potential Joker

[wet burrow]

if u have red seal on all it actually might make sense

[stark charm]

I would kill supernova and rely on planet for base mult (or wee but wee’s chips is hella good)here but if your planet is so ass I think you could kill cavendish

[wet burrow]

only cavendish can kill cavendish

you have to let fate do its thing

[stark charm]

You can eat it really

Wait till some new banana plague appear and cavendish actually get killed :>

[cloud sinew]

theyre already vulnerable to panama disease

it's not about if, but when

[wet burrow]

nah they got all the vaccines

[left spoke]

But what about antivax bananas

[orchid comet]

whats the play here?

[stark charm]

Kill antivax (banana)

[cloud sinew]

bye bull

[wet burrow]

bull gotta go

[orchid comet]

what aboit the extra chips 💔

[wet burrow]

useless ngl

[orchid comet]

alright

[cloud sinew]

basically doesnt matter

[stark charm]

Kill bull

Use planet for chips

[orchid comet]

chicot

[stark charm]

Chigoat

[orchid comet]

very helpful considering im only doing boss blinds

[atomic trout]

Yey

[left spoke]

I mean you can level up a hand 10+ times to achieve what the bull does here

[atomic trout]

Overfilled the violent cup

[cloud sinew]

also you kinda just win with anything

[atomic trout]

I love Nova

[stark charm]

Imma attempt omelette without cracking the egg , I saw someone did it

[visual niche]

ante 1 round 1 😭

[stark charm]

Gimme tarot merchant

Yo who is that egg

[cloud sinew]

you have to get the money to afford it first

[left spoke]

Must have been the wind

[stark charm]

Lucky temperance

[visual niche]

HOLY PACK LMAOOOOO

[cloud sinew]

it's harder jokerless

[half stone]

ok i am back what is this run

[stark charm]

Yeah jokerless is so chill

[visual niche]

incredible beginning. i'm 10 bucks in debt

[slow iris]

credit card actually in the buffoon pack

[cloud sinew]

this is really not a good start tbh

[left spoke]

Isn’t that spade joker also good?

5 rounds but still

[slow iris]

it is erratic so

[left spoke]

ah

[slow iris]

could be like 1.5 spades in the deck

or 7 trillion

[left spoke]

surprisingly i mined for a good erratic seed and the suits rarely went lower than 10

[atomic trout]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu defeated again

Bull sucks.. when you're poor

[vale shale]

El grillete.

[atomic trout]

🗜️⛓️

Having one less Hand Size is hard

[stark charm]

Oh I lost

[atomic trout]

Ha! How?

[left spoke]

I would like to share this slightly amusing regular pack

[stark charm]

Even glass card could not save me

[slow iris]

flush three

[atomic trout]

Double Trebuchet?

[left spoke]

yeah

[atomic trout]

The glass can only hold for so long. Literally and scoring and figuratively

[left spoke]

Invisible hit probably, this photo is ~1 year old

I just kinda screenshot cool things

[heavy heron]

more mime steel moment

[atomic trout]

Rhetorically

[heavy heron]

ironically i didn’t need mime at all to win that actually

steel alone was enough

[ivory reef]

Why are there no fire sounds on Apple Arcade version

I’m not crazy

They definitely aren’t there

[ashen tide]

It is pretty amusing

[orchid comet]

what did seeing double give again

[ancient gyro]

oh geez this certainly can't end badly

[orchid comet]

itll be all kings

trust

[ancient gyro]

😲

[orchid comet]

close

[ancient gyro]

even better

[orchid comet]

?

[ancient gyro]

allegedly

[ebon condor]

why is your handsize so high in the first place

[ancient gyro]

i wonder

[ebon condor]

oh im highkey stupidcore

[cloud sinew]

lot of words just to say "idiot"

[ebon condor]

in that case why are using oujia

[orchid comet]

chat what did seeing double do 😭

[austere whale]

Mime + blue seal might be the strongest synergy

[orchid comet]

im gonna unlock it idk if its worth it

[austere whale]

Like actually its INSANE with straights

[minor portal]

x3 mult

[orchid comet]

WILD

I had blue print brainstorm with perkeo

farmed uranus so hard

[ancient gyro]

yeah no luigi still sucks

[ebon condor]

worst consumable moment

[gentle basalt]

? this is the best usecase of oujia

[ebon condor]

youre gonna have 7 handsize once bean dies still

still pretty shit

[north ravine]

Guys I just beat gold stake for the first time. It's just luck

[gentle basalt]

but you get a lot more cards turned into whatever rank it was

[cloud sinew]

best non-fringe usecase is serpent

[ebon condor]

yeah but 7 handsize

[gentle basalt]

if there is a time to use oujia, it is this

[viral raft]

gg wp

[gentle basalt]

fringe case, (almost) requires ghost deck

[ebon condor]

its when you have a permanent handsize buff in order to not have 7 handsize

[cloud sinew]

except it just doesnt

[viral raft]

ouija sucks

[gentle basalt]

requires enough to be called fringe

[minor portal]

oujia is a spectral card that is in balatro

[cloud sinew]

no it doesnt

[ebon condor]

ehhh id say that getting oujia from 6th sense or seance and then holding it long enough to see serpent is still p niche

[viral raft]

ouija is so bad that you will just straight up just sell it or skip it

99% of the time is just not worthy to use

[cloud sinew]

remove the direct downside, my beloved.

[ebon condor]

yeah im not playing with -1 consumable slot for fuckin oujia

[minor portal]

but think of the theoretical value

[cloud sinew]

it's -handsize

[ebon condor]

no i mean like

holding it hoping to see serpent

[viral raft]

imo ouija should just remove edition and ehancements as a downside instead

[potent tree]

what happened to lilo

[viral raft]

and maybe is actually really good even in early antes

[visual niche]

are you kidding me

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt matter much at all, and just makes it not fun without having that big of an actual downside

bad change

just have it not have a direct downside imo

[potent tree]

immolate in spectral pack trust

[minor portal]

credit card in next reroll

[visual niche]

shouldn't have

[gentle basalt]

ouija

[cloud sinew]

bait

[potent tree]

you win some you lose some.

[cloud sinew]

i wouldve just taken the other joker in shop

[viral raft]

i mean without a downside ouija just turns in one of the best deckfixes on the game

[cloud sinew]

okay 👍

[visual niche]

eternal two pair??

[gentle basalt]

eternal mad that you already have stickered?

[cloud sinew]

it's orange stake twin

stickering does not matter

[gentle basalt]

immolate already exists and even provides 20$

[left spoke]

It’s ok

[gentle basalt]

spectrals can be busted on the top end, it is allowed

[left spoke]

It’s a comfort joker

[viral raft]

imo that should be nerfed but even inmolate sometimes just kills your blue sealed card

[cloud sinew]

my lobster is too buttery my steak is too juicy

[gentle basalt]

fair, still not taking eternal mad in shop 1 though

[shell dagger]

why

[cloud sinew]

then you're a bad player

it's good, easy to trigger, +mult

[echo sphinx]

buttery lobster argument

[viral raft]

i don't like spectrals because some of them are literally the most op shit in the world and others are literally a red card sinergy

[viral raft]

i'm not saying that inmolate is not op but sometimes i guess is not that op(?

[cloud sinew]

im fine with the top end of spectrals

[viral raft]

Like i would like that my inmolate not kill my blue seal

[left spoke]

Like… like an ok chair or a borderline unhealthy but delicious meal

[cloud sinew]

-5 +$20 is fairly often still worth taking even if it kills one of the best cards in your deck

[gentle basalt]

shop 2 or shop 3, ill take it if nothing else, but i dont see a point to take it shop 1 and play with -1 joker for most antes

[cloud sinew]

because it's good scoring and it's easy to trigger

[viral raft]

yeah, i will keep always take inmolate but i wish sometimes that just doesn't takes my beloved blue seals

[left spoke]

Huh, that’s actually pretty smart

[shell dagger]

would you take eternal rebate in ante 1

[ebon condor]

no it's not

[shell dagger]

bc that’s like playing without a joker slot in ante 8

[gentle basalt]

what kind of question is that, i would take eternal golden

[shell dagger]

so why not eternal mad, something that makes the early antes very easy

[viral raft]

i just hope that most of spectrals get buffed, most of then are just useless after early antes

[left spoke]

The combo itself is though

[viral raft]

and inmolate get nerfed because if the most broken thing ever

[cloud sinew]

i dont think that "most" spectrals need buffs, just the low end

[gentle basalt]

(especially on yellow) i trust being able to find something better to not have to -1 joker

[cloud sinew]

they are not on yellow deck though

[gentle basalt]

yes but i was talking about myself

[cloud sinew]

???

[gentle basalt]

i only play yellow deck

[left spoke]

Do you think it should reward you less if at all?

[gentle basalt]

anyways, that is true elsewhere too

[viral raft]

yes

less money

[gentle basalt]

surely you cant say its a must-take, thats a very weird take

[left spoke]

I’m always happy to see immolate

[cloud sinew]

i am saying it's a must take here

it's a very consistent +10

[viral raft]

it literally deckfix and also gaves you free money

[fathom pagoda]

I think people would still take Immolate 90% of the time if it gave zero money.

[left spoke]

It’s like shooting a red barrel even if there are no enemies close to it

[viral raft]

inmolate is just a better hanged man 100% of the times

[ebon condor]

its like probably like the correct play but also i wouldn't blame someone for not wanting it

[grizzled robin]

worth the risk.

thats so sad tho

[left spoke]

ye

[gentle basalt]

i think at the least, you are supposed to look into the buffoon before making up your mind

(i am aware you can get 2 eternals)

[cloud sinew]

i wouldn't at all. guaranteed +10 vs maybe getting something better but also might get nothing at all

[gentle basalt]

guaranteed +10 lol

[ebon condor]

admittedly it does fall off quite quickly for a +multer

[cloud sinew]

i'm saying you are guaranteed to get the joker that gives +10 on a fairly consistent basis, not that it always gives +10

[viral raft]

true, 1/3 of the spectrals are just useless after early antes

[cloud sinew]

don't be obtuse

[viral raft]

the others are OK

or just straight up op like Inmolate or trance

[ebon condor]

trance immolate son or hex ankh daughter

[cloud sinew]

trance immolate son

[robust lance]

straightens angle to be 90

[left spoke]

My sleeper agent brain went back to that family guy bit

[viral raft]

like spectrals truly needs a balance changes, theres no way that inmolate is on the same level as the others spectrals and blue seals is just way better than the other selas

[cloud sinew]

should be an immolate trance son but okay

[ebon condor]

fuck u right

[shell dagger]

trance son or immolate daughter

[slow iris]

trance daughter

[cloud sinew]

they don't need to be rebalanced overall, the weakest ones just need buffs.

[north ravine]

Trance son ( technically daughter )

[viral raft]

trance inmolate son because he will always won with pair slopp

[left spoke]

Lmao

[cloud sinew]

immolate daughter

[robust lance]

Ankh non-binary child

[left spoke]

Immolate daughter though

She will commit arson

[viral raft]

inmolate daughter

[north ravine]

Hot take: sigil is way better than ouija

[shell dagger]

coldest take here

[slow iris]

trance people

[cloud sinew]

thats not a hot take at all

ouija is incredibly ass

[ebon condor]

talisman son or cryptid daughter

[left spoke]

Ionno sigil is boring for me

[cloud sinew]

talisman son

[north ravine]

Cryptid daughter

[viral raft]

i mean, inmolate and blue seal 100% need some nerfs, both are just a 100% just take

[ebon condor]

immolate is fine tbh

[north ravine]

In reality the thing called wild cards need a buff

[cloud sinew]

theyre getting buffed

[ebon condor]

its rare enough that it being strong is just a fun thing in like 1/20 runs

[left spoke]

Do you know how?

[cloud sinew]

no

[left spoke]

oh

[viral raft]

"Fine" and is literally the card that you will always play no matter the situation

[ebon condor]

yeah

[viral raft]

inmolate is straight up op idk

[left spoke]

i like runner a lot

[ebon condor]

its not common enough to be overwhelmingly strong

[north ravine]

Deck building value and 20$ is alot

[cloud sinew]

i agree that immolate is OP but i don't think it needs to be changed

[north ravine]

That's like 3 hanged man for -10 cost

[pale wolf]

there's only one bad part of immolate

and that's that it is impossible to say on Google Voice to text

[shell dagger]

2/16

[viral raft]

with that logic all spectrals should be op as inmolate because all of them have the same chances

but hell naw

[cloud sinew]

strawman

[left spoke]

Burnt joker should do a 1 in 4 to destroy any discarded or played card

[cloud sinew]

why

[tranquil oyster]

spectral packs are just too rng based, even for balatro. you either get immolate or "baron for 26 gold".

[viral raft]

why lol

[ebon condor]

hm notice how i didn't say that

[left spoke]

ionno i want him to burn stuff

[primal heath]

is obelisk the play here? i've got 2 discards and 10 hand size

[shell dagger]

it’s kinda by design tho

[left spoke]

it’s probably terrible balance wise

[shell dagger]

tarot packs are safer but more boring

[viral raft]

yeah but spectrals are not common in general, not only inmolate

[shell dagger]

yeah

[left spoke]

But I remember seeing burnt joker for the first time and being pleasantly surprised by that cool art

[cloud sinew]

the theming is about burn cards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_card

[viral raft]

inmolate is not like the soul which have less chances

[ebon condor]

mhm

[left spoke]

But the effect felt a bit underwhelming

[pale wolf]

The volatility packs are volatile, any plans for a fix? @magic perch

oh woops

[shell dagger]

who pung

[pale wolf]

that didnt ping anything in the preview

wtf

[viral raft]

inmolate have the same chances as ouija lmao

[cloud sinew]

yeah

[left spoke]

oh, interesting

[pale wolf]

This is like asking why the winning number on roulette wins if they all have the same chance

[cloud sinew]

that doesnt mean they have to be equally as strong

[pale wolf]

things can have equal chances and yet still be better or worse than each other

[cloud sinew]

hologram is equally* as likely to appear as showman, that doesnt mean they need to be as strong as each other

[cloud sinew]

nerf hologram <3 /s

everything should be as bad as showman

[ebon condor]

truth missle

[echo sphinx]

imagine if showman shows the most bought joker in your account

[viral raft]

true but both should have useful situations, inmolate is a card that 99% of the time you will take while Ouija is literally a skip pack card

[cloud sinew]

they do both have useful situations

[viral raft]

ouija should atleast have good moments

[pale wolf]

I've used ouija to win before

[cloud sinew]

and it does

[ebon condor]

mhm and oujia should be buffed

[north ravine]

I once had a relentless showman. 3 rerolls and bro showed up all three times

[north ravine]

Just remove the -1 hand size would suffice

[cloud sinew]

i agree!

[minor portal]

he had a show, man

[echo sphinx]

agreege

[pale wolf]

The worst part is that there's literally no way to stop him

showman appears as many times as he wants

[echo sphinx]

tho id do "discard 2 cards, then switch all to same rank"

[north ravine]

He wants to show

[cloud sinew]

someone gave me a seed where you take an eternal rental negative showman in first shop.
i refused on the spot

[north ravine]

He would have probably just cloned himself

[viral raft]

but inmolate is just way better, like if i see a pack with inmolate or ouija i think all of us will take that inmolate because ouija is just way worst

[cloud sinew]

why is that a problem though

you said they should both have good situations, and they do.

[north ravine]

What's yall's highest score?

[cloud sinew]

naneinf

[left spoke]

I like showman, he does funny things

I call this one “home alone”

[pale wolf]

like e12 lol

[ebon condor]

like e22

[pale wolf]

i dont play endless mode so

my highest score was ante 8

[rich mauve]

hi lilo

[cloud sinew]

do you have C

[north ravine]

You got sock and buskin? No we got burg and ler

[ebon condor]

my highest score was also a8

[pale wolf]

not playing ≠ never having played smh

[ebon condor]

gold stake triple trib

fun run

[cloud sinew]

okay but do you have C

[pale wolf]

i think

[north ravine]

I got a orange stake trib run

[cloud sinew]

cool

[pale wolf]

🦓

[north ravine]

Guys chicot is better than canio

[cloud sinew]

i disagree

[viral raft]

inmolate is just good always, free deckfix and free money
meanwhile ouija is just pure RNG and also just -1 hand size you
the comparation is like crying baby vs nuclear bombs

[cloud sinew]

Yorick > Canio > Chicot > Perkeo > Trib
-# for ante 8 gold stake

[north ravine]

The glorious plant.

[ebon condor]

chicot 3rd or 4th best leg

[viral raft]

truthnuke

[cloud sinew]

i havent died to plant in like 50 runs

[ebon condor]

honestly i think perkeo might bd better but it depends

[left spoke]

Trib last? Is the plant really that bad?

[north ravine]

I lost my trib gold stake run to plant

[minor portal]

so the 51st run

[north ravine]

I got a chicot in a soul before I got trib

Should have just kept

[cloud sinew]

it works in the least builds, and is the most boss vulnerable

[viral raft]

trib forces you to play kings/queens

[left spoke]

But honestly any xMult that doesn’t get destroyed by a boss blind is a win in my book

[gentle fern]

Hello! I just got the game and downloaded it. I played for around 5 minutes and then it started lagging like crazy and then crashed. I validated the files and it said something like 170 files were faulty and it redownloaded everything but after relaunching, the same thing happened. I tried validating again but this time it said nothing was wrong. Can't find a crash report or sometihng in the folder.. Help?

[viral raft]

trib is the only legendary with a direct counter

[rich mauve]

that translates into "I haven't used photochad in 50 runs" which is a good thing

[north ravine]

Holographic and cavendisu

[cloud sinew]

ive used photochad like 10 times in the last 50 runs

ive just planned around plant every time because im smart

[north ravine]

Photochad is goated

[viral raft]

i hate photochad

[left spoke]

I’m sorry, i don’t know how to help you

[north ravine]

Guess which legendary i got

[viral raft]

canio?

[north ravine]

Trib

[viral raft]

nice

[north ravine]

Died next ante to plant tho

[cloud sinew]

build that dies to the plant vs the plant

[robust lance]

Balatro gives and Balatro takes

[cloud sinew]

you had 6 antes to prepare for plant

[north ravine]

Balatro stakes*

[rich mauve]

plant only appears when you decide to go for face cards

[robust lance]

Yeah just don’t get the plant

[north ravine]

I don't pay attention to the boss

[north ravine]

So i basically skipped a luchador

[left spoke]

The only glitch i encountered is this one and it did nothing but spook me

[minor portal]

balatro will stab you in a dark alley for +4 mult

[gentle fern]

Thanks for replying but since you can't, respectfully, this message is not for you 😅

[viral raft]

i hate trib because i spend most of my build prepared to counter plant instead of just playing thoses kings/queens

[left spoke]

Oh. I didn’t want you to feel ignored

[rich mauve]

omg is this physical instrument himself???

[gentle fern]

I just want to gamble man LET ME INN

[rich mauve]

it's the goat himself??

[left spoke]

Yes, that would be me

[cloud sinew]

post this in #1200105253559873707

you'll likely get more help there

[gentle fern]

Thank you

[left spoke]

Is your avatar hand-drawn perhaps?

[rich mauve]

not mine but yes

also

can every plasma run be turned into naneinf or do you need a lot of luck?

[cloud sinew]

uhhh

doc believes every run can naneinf i think

but i personally dont have an opinion on it

[minor portal]

Not all plasma can be naninf but all naninf can be plasma

[left spoke]

as a man who yet couldn’t achieve naninf I cannot really say

[north ravine]

My best is e13 I feel u

[minor portal]

I think sun tzu said this

[rich mauve]

ok I'll try to do it after learning not to fumble it

[north ravine]

Sun as in the tarot card guy?

[terse vale]

every seed or every run :?

[molten thicket]

what does this mean

[molten thicket]

what

no way

[shell dagger]

he said e20 but not naneinf

[terse vale]

ohhh

[shell dagger]

i think it was discussed in the 5 hour get your own naneinf vid

[cloud sinew]

i believe youre correct

[molten thicket]

yeah he said like "every seed can reach e16" or sth

and like 1 in 5 can reach naneinf?

iirc

at least ive heard multiple ppl say that 1 in 5 seeds can reach naneinf

[left spoke]

The man who sold the world

[abstract oyster]

For 1 dollar too

[left spoke]

Ah yes my favourite tv show

“Best i can do is 1$”

[north ravine]

That's a probability not possibility, probability is a value that's likely but not defining unlike possinility

[cloud sinew]

what

[north ravine]

Each run has a 1 in 5 probability of reaching NANEINF. That doesn't mean ever 1 in 5 run will be NANEINF

[thick citrus]

WTF

[versed echo]

Painful

[zinc sigil]

Im conflicted is this good

[zinc sigil]

Shoot the moon and mime is so op

[thick citrus]

Ik

[north ravine]

So basically possibility means were given a value which may increase with the turns as it gets more likely, probability stays statistically the same

[still current]

Ohhh obelisk so good

[molten thicket]

each run has an ~1/5 chance to have the potential to naneinf

[north ravine]

10/10 rare

[cloud sinew]

i dont think that's true at all

[still current]

Agree

[cloud sinew]

at least that the different word doesn't mean that

[versed echo]

This dude really tried being negative to convince me

[thick citrus]

Idk

[versed echo]

Get out of here man

[north ravine]

( I'm just shortening the whole concept of probability into a easy to understand text )

[molten thicket]

also this number is with perfect play, not optimal play i think

[cloud sinew]

possibility = a chance that something may happen / be true.
probability = a numerical value (can also be described as a "chance") describing how likely it is that something may happen / be true

[cloud sinew]

you did a very bad job, you just made it more ambiguous

[molten thicket]

esp with sth as luck-dependent as naneinfing

[calm furnace]

mista bones clutch

carried it since ante 1

[left spoke]

Interesting strategy

[cloud sinew]

they are synonymous*.
there are situations theyre not, but that's a different usage of the word;
"it is possible, but not probable" as probable means "likely"

[heavy heron]

😱 😱 😱 😱 😱

synergy!!!!

[north ravine]

I apologise for my lack of explanation skill, I will take this criticism very serious ( not sarcasm )

[left spoke]

Oh man I sometimes can’t take criticism

[versed echo]

That's why hes the goat!!!! THE GOAT!!!!

[calm furnace]

the only strategy was pray for mr bones

[north ravine]

Sometimes I become a sore loser and leave the server lol ( this is satire )

[calm furnace]

i even skipped for shop tag just for throwback value 😭

couldn't find a single xmult to save my life

[left spoke]

A foul inner voice whispering how people secretly want to feel superior instead of helping me prosper

[north ravine]

This is how bad I was at balatro when I got my first win a few months ago

[robust lance]

It’ll carry you to success

[versed echo]

I've got one jack in the deck thanks to familiar

[cloud sinew]

seems like a pretty good run

[oak leaf]

Yo guys just got the game both for steam and mobile, is there a way to connect the two in order not to play on different saves each time?

[north ravine]

I had no idea what I was doing back then lol

[robust lance]

I’m a foul outer voice.
They want to feel superior.

[cloud sinew]

no

[versed echo]

How many damn wheels did you get?

[north ravine]

That's the neat part, you can't

[north ravine]

27

[versed echo]

WHAT

[left spoke]

The prayers have been answered

Mr bones died for our sins

[oak leaf]

Aight thx

[north ravine]

MR BONES IS THE MESSIAH

[north ravine]

I had a shopping spree

[versed echo]

I could imagine so

It's kind of beautiful to look at

[slow iris]

truth

[versed echo]

All these bedazzled 'Bos (Slang for Jimbos)

[lethal hawk]

any deck recommendation 4 stuntman unlock plis im new

[north ravine]

Plasma

[molten thicket]

what's stuntman's unlock req again

[left spoke]

Yeah

[north ravine]

I think do some random

[cloud sinew]

100,000,000 i think

[molten thicket]

oh

just plasma?

[cloud sinew]

yeah

[left spoke]

100 Million

[north ravine]

Tribuloet+ sock is ez 1 billion

[cloud sinew]

just do plasma white stake and stack xmult

[lethal hawk]

ight thanks guys

[left spoke]

Photochad should be enough

[north ravine]

With a few blueprinrs

[left spoke]

Some glass here a blueprint there

[cloud sinew]

x8 does not score 100,000,000 without serious support

[versed echo]

Depends on the base

[left spoke]

I mean yeah ofc

[north ravine]

We need a sock too don't forget

[cloud sinew]

it's just that you said "photochad should be enough" 😭

[versed echo]

What if you have a hand with a base mult of 100,000,000?

[north ravine]

And red seal glass cards

[north ravine]

Id win balatro

[versed echo]

Then you get 8x 100,000,000

[cloud sinew]

"what if the world was made of jelly"

[north ravine]

Id eat my organs

[versed echo]

Average cryptid hand

[north ravine]

Does this count as cannibalism or self harm

[versed echo]

(Ante 4)

[cloud sinew]

sorry twin i dont know what that is, i only play real balatro

[left spoke]

Uh i meant them as a core part of a bigger build that i don’t wanna describe

nvm

[molten thicket]

you sound so elitist

[north ravine]

I've been watching so much balatro content that now my YouTube feed is filled with ACTUAL casino poker

[cloud sinew]

i am being

[versed echo]

Photochad couple when they see Burnt Joker across the bar and really dig his vibe

[north ravine]

She is a elite

[molten thicket]

true..

[north ravine]

just do this tbh

pretty easy

[cloud sinew]

me practicing chinese

[raw wadi]

does that card affect stone cards?

[left spoke]

nop

[north ravine]

Very easy tutorial 10/10 on simplicity

[cloud sinew]

no

[pale wolf]

meanwhile on balatrowiki

[raw wadi]

alr

[north ravine]

0/10 for my mom's credit card

[molten thicket]

when was this update man

i leave for 2 DAYS

[pale wolf]

it was announced in 2014

duh

[terse vale]

ehhh i’ll get a chance to sticker bus later

bro my shit is lagging

[pale wolf]

see, feb 17th 2014

always trust the gg wiki

[left spoke]

Im sure ante 1 bus will

[terse vale]

would troub be good here? I don’t know honestly

[north ravine]

Isn't it weird how even with all this success we didn't get a S4 but instead a knock off game about the show

[north ravine]

I don't think trib would suit ur deck rn

[north ravine]

I mean the jokers your having

[frank grove]

what does your deck look like

[pale wolf]

yea its wild but i guess it makes sense with how the first 3 seasons were made by a group of toddlers and their pet frog

child labor and all that

[terse vale]

normal deck

I want more consistent flowerpot and better parking for now

[frank grove]

yeah troub is probably a decent pickup cause of flowerpot

[slow iris]

troub

[terse vale]

well parking wouldnt be bettr actually my bad

[left spoke]

I see the bigger hand = more face cards to hold = more money = more flash card scaling

But you play 1 hand less so uhh a bit less money so uhhh probably not?

[terse vale]

-1 hand I forgot

[north ravine]

Troubador?

[slow iris]

yes

[north ravine]

Ah sh

Mb

[north ravine]

Which means my leg in japanese

[slow iris]

i like troub when playing straights

[left spoke]

I played straights with andy

[edgy stone]

Play painted deck and you already got troub with full hands

[left spoke]

Somehow worked lol

[terse vale]

im doing magic++ !

[slow iris]

i'd take troub even on painted deck

[terse vale]

magi-completionist plus plus

[left spoke]

So

Gold stake black deck stories?

[robust lance]

Plus plus pro max premium model deluxe (with free built in sims card)

[slow iris]

i'd take if going for straights

[north ravine]

Painted deck allowed me to unlock invisible joker

[left spoke]

hoover max extract Pressure-Pro model 60

[tardy spade]

Is it just me Who restarts if I am aware that I misplay at all in ante 1?

[wet burrow]

no

[left spoke]

I do that sometimes

[north ravine]

I'm rhe same

[left spoke]

There was a time i thought rare joker skip tag was op and restarted till i got it

[north ravine]

No rare joker helps u in the early ante

[wet burrow]

25 dollars is the only good tag in ante 1 ngl

[left spoke]

I cried when it was obelisk

[north ravine]

And a mega arcana

[north ravine]

Debateable tho

[edgy stone]

If I couldnt find any good non rental joker at Ante 1, I'd restart

[north ravine]

Sometimes maybe good

[wet burrow]

i have never tken that lol

maybe its just me

[median grove]

what is the best card enhancement with aj?

[left spoke]

Spectral pack skip feels so inviting

[north ravine]

U can get perkeo or smth

[left spoke]

But i shall not be tempted

[frank grove]

No, i only take investment tag ante 1, coupon tag is a scam and on yellow econ tag can work

[north ravine]

Spectral skips make u lose game

[wet burrow]

ouija incantation :/

[median grove]

what is the best card enhancement with aj?

[left spoke]

Immolate ❤️‍🩹

[worthy tinsel]

The humble vagabond

[wet burrow]

poly

red seal

[median grove]

the best enhancement tho

[wet burrow]

oh

glass

for high score

[median grove]

okey thanks

[wet burrow]

lucky and mult arent bad tho

[frank grove]

wilds do work but glass is way better

[median grove]

is chips bad?

[frank grove]

wilds have too many problems to rely on them

[worthy tinsel]

Glass or steel, but mostly glass

[frank grove]

chips also is fine

[wet burrow]

ya

[left spoke]

I wanna say lucky cards

[north ravine]

There's so much chips when we level up that it loses its value overtime

[edgy stone]

gold card is the best for any long or short term

[north ravine]

But chip is still good none the less

[median grove]

from planet flush?

[worthy tinsel]

If your flush levels are low is ok

[north ravine]

Yea

[frank grove]

depends on the hand, flushes suck for chip scaling

[median grove]

i agree

[north ravine]

I usually play straights wbu

[wet burrow]

wilds aren't bad tho like if u get a red seal wild thats hackable or sockable thats pr good

[frank grove]

I am a gold stake only player so mostly pairs or two pair but when the clock strikes straights are my favorite

[left spoke]

Runner my beloved

[edgy stone]

square is better

[worthy tinsel]

Eh

[median grove]

because of boss blinds right

[worthy tinsel]

Is good but that is
I would rather runner than square

[red briar]

hey guys

ready to get back to the balala runs

[terse vale]

im doing flowerpot

[left spoke]

Uhhhhhhh maybe, but 15 chips per hand is stupid even for straights

[frank grove]

Boss blinds and if you rely on them instead of evening suits in your deck you can bottom deck wilds which just kills you

[red briar]

i took a small break from balatro because i wasnt finding it fun but now im back and ready to beat the evil

[worthy tinsel]

Yes
But is nice to have like 4 max for AJ

[left spoke]

I felt that way after c+

[red briar]

im feeling that way after just regularly playing

because i never get good runs

[slow iris]

only thing square has going for it compared to runner is that it's easier to scale

[red briar]

ante 1 mime you say? don't mind if i dew >:P

[terse vale]

bro my fucking wifi

[slow iris]

runner is just better but both are good

[frank grove]

yeah

runner requires more work but it scales so much faster

[cloud sinew]

i think square is better

[noble mango]

What's your biggest wee ever

[terse vale]

honestly yea

[heavy heron]

HOLY NEW ANTE 8 RECORD non plasma

[cloud sinew]

i think runner will be better than square in 1.1 though, +1 discard helps a lot with straight odds

[north ravine]

I think around 3k

[frank grove]

for me it really depends on what deck im playing

[noble mango]

Holy

[median grove]

eah that happened to me

[median grove]

is it still nice to put red seals on wilds

[left spoke]

“You are the maker. The anvil and the hammer. Build your own future - luck is for losers.”

Probably something PI would say

[noble mango]

eh i mean i never go further than ante 8 or 12 usually

[north ravine]

Hack+ red seal + paradolia + sock works wonders

[worthy tinsel]

Ehhh

[median grove]

better on glass?

[worthy tinsel]

They get debuffed as well

[median grove]

yeah ive die that way because i had like 15 wild cards

and i didnt realize they go back to their original suit when debuffed

[noble mango]

So that's a double replay . . .
Never thought of that

[pure schooner]

What do i drop

[noble mango]

Show me your dek

[pure schooner]

Wtf did i js hear

[terse vale]

MY FUCKING WIFI SENF THE FUCKING IMAGR

[pure schooner]

Read

[noble mango]

If it's 100% hearts

[red briar]

how do i sufficiently get xmult going on plasma deck anyways

[terse vale]

UHHGGHHHHHH

[pure schooner]

Its barely fixed

[terse vale]

welp

[slow iris]

scary face

[north ravine]

Triple

[pure schooner]

Litterally my only scoring rn😭

[noble mango]

Scawwy face

[gray plaza]

Instant win right here

[pure schooner]

I have level 2 flush

[red briar]

would anyone be willing to hop in a vc and teach me a little more about balatro

[pure schooner]

Merry andy my goat

[red briar]

i feel completely lost right now

[noble mango]

Replay
Hack
Sock

[upbeat vine]

What are some good mods to use?

[worthy tinsel]

Yes but I mostly do red seal and steel
Glass can break and if you didnt have death/cryptid/dna well its gone

[noble mango]

Haha number go up
Stonks

[red briar]

handy >>>

[pure schooner]

Depends do u want the same balatro feel or u like big number go brrrrr

If big number go brrrr try cryptid, if u like same balatro feel i like bunco and paperback

[noble mango]

Is it just me or does anybody here turn cards to glass to break it

[pure schooner]

I do

[wet burrow]

ofc

[worthy tinsel]

Theres somengood qol mods out there
Youcan ask in #⚙・modding-general

[north ravine]

Red seap

[wet burrow]

it's 1/8th of a hung man

basically

[north ravine]

1/16th

[noble mango]

Turned like 3 2 s into glass and like none of them broke 😔

[pure schooner]

Wluld it be worth dropping scary face for golden ticket

[pure schooner]

Amd also technically 1/3rd a photochad

[red briar]

??

[wet burrow]

hung man kills 2, and justice kills 0.25

2/0.25 = 8

[noble mango]

Show me your deck

[upbeat vine]

I'm currently using handy, sleeves and joker display, Any other ones I should get?

[pure schooner]

It would be insane econ

[noble mango]

12 gold cards hm

[north ravine]

Yo my bad bro, i forgot 2/16 is same as 1/8

[noble mango]

Face imo

[red briar]

hhhfff

:C

[pure schooner]

Drop face or stick with face??

[fallow fulcrum]

May as well stick if most of your faces are golden

[brave goblet]

blueprint ticket would make insane bank

[noble mango]

Most of your thing is bloodstone ain't it

[brave goblet]

If you got any semblance of planet levels, drop scary

with bloodstone you only need one hand to nuke a blind

[noble mango]

Guh hard choices to choose

What's the hard part of balatro

The boss blinds?
The fact that you can only carry so much jokers and had to drop one for another one?
The game not giving you any hands?

[red briar]

can someone help me with my balala skills :C

[brave goblet]

attend balatro university

[north ravine]

Balala joker poker?

[brave goblet]

enroll

[north ravine]

Join dr spectre

[red briar]

yeah i'm really bad

[brave goblet]

ye

[red briar]

i cant get winning runs often

[noble mango]

What skills do balatro need actually

[north ravine]

Gambler mentality and luck

[brave goblet]

you just need to really know what everything does

[north ravine]

That's all we need

[noble mango]

Description is there so

[red briar]

i know what everything does but i just cant put everything together

[noble mango]

Oh and misprint is there

[brave goblet]

see there you go

[noble mango]

If ur bothered to check it every single time to know the next card ur gonna draw from your deck

[noble mango]

Like what

[red briar]

like

i can never make a good joker comp

[pure schooner]

Your seed giving u photograph ante one and chad ante 7

[noble mango]

Pro tip:
Don't make blueprint copy paredolia

[brave goblet]

I like how the solution is right there (attend balatro university) but lots of people don't do it

[worthy tinsel]

Adapt or die
Thats it tbh

[pure schooner]

I lowk hate having to come back here but i feel like choices get the better of me

What do i drop😭

[brave goblet]

lots of money you can find either easily

[pure schooner]

This seed is lowk js goated

[brave goblet]

Ticket lol

hope you enjoyed the wee bit of money

[pure schooner]

But econ

I dont have a good econ😭

[brave goblet]

alternatively, time to find an idol

[noble mango]

Interest

[red briar]

this is wgat i have rn

[fallow fulcrum]

I'd say yours is already secure, no?

[red briar]

pretty mid

[pure schooner]

Idol 🚫

[brave goblet]

skill issue

[pure schooner]

Alr ill pray for a negative mime

[brave goblet]

Bean has shown me the way

idol haters just can't deckfix

[spark kernel]

I think he hates chicot

[slow iris]

hi i hate idol

[red briar]

im doing 3oak but im struggling to deckfix

[brave goblet]

that's some real idol gaming

W

painted idol too lmfao, I had one of those the other day

[pure schooner]

Valid

Also 🫡ty guys ill always trust random balatro discord members

[brave goblet]

W

Maybe you should make lucky cards instead

[pure schooner]

Luchagoat>>>chicuck

[noble mango]

Here's the deal

You murder blueprint, you essentially get no benefit, brainstorm is just blueprint

You murder gold ticket, your econ gon

You slaughter sockskin , your econ worsens and also your points, AND +chips and less bloodstone mult

You butcher dice, your bloodstone won't feel like giving you 1.5x mult, also less negative chances

You assasinate bloodstone, your score is gone

Neg jokers don't free space

[pure schooner]

I am i js got that idea

[pure schooner]

Valid idea

[brave goblet]

Sadly bloodstone oops has a limited lifespan

[pure schooner]

Ill pivot to baron mime after ante 8

Ill sock my bp and bs on lucky cards

[noble mango]

But if you somehow got enough deckfix idol takes care of the job

[pure schooner]

Anti idol

[noble mango]

Or triboulet

Which is just beter

[pure schooner]

Ive never run an idol build

[noble mango]

Trib op

[red briar]

i HATE black deck and i HATE jokers

[noble mango]

Tribskin

[pure schooner]

If i find a trib on this seed ill give u my first born

[worthy tinsel]

Yeah a legendarie will surely appear trust

[noble mango]

Play jokerless

[pure schooner]

Try painted deck

[mental bloom]

invis for cavendish right?

[red briar]

painted dih

[noble mango]

For some silly reasons

Soul gave me canio on a face card build . .

And chicot

[brave goblet]

whole x3 doing a lot of work

[red briar]

i just wanna be good at the game without watching a 2 hour long tutorial and still failing

[noble mango]

And trib on wee plasma build

[brave goblet]

mashallah may that invis hit the business card

[noble mango]

Bru

[brave goblet]

someone's got no attention span

[noble mango]

But hey
At least i got yorick

When i have 2 discards 😭

[brave goblet]

just watch it on x2 speed

[red briar]

painted deck seems very fun but gimmicky

[noble mango]

Screw you blue stake

[molten thicket]

where did the perkeo go.

[frank grove]

nice and fun straight run for abandoned++

[mental bloom]

in my deck lol

[brave goblet]

painted deck gets pretty annoying cause you don't have a 5th slot for utility

[molten thicket]

oh its the dumbass custom deck

[mental bloom]

indeed

[brave goblet]

but that's about it, the giant hand size makes up for it

[mental bloom]

but i take the invis and remove cavendish right

[noble mango]

What's your favorite econ joker

[mental bloom]

hope it lands either on the baron or the bs

[mental bloom]

gift card

[pure schooner]

I was wondering why i js had 3 consecutive wheel of fortune hits

I forgot oops was in my hand

[noble mango]

Mine's mime/rebate

[wanton magnet]

Should I take hallucination instead of mail-in rebate?

[noble mango]

Oops i forgot opps was in my hand

[grizzled robin]

no what

wtf kinda question is this

[wanton magnet]

Thats what I was thinking lwk

[grizzled robin]

15 dollar per card discard vs 1.5 tarot cards..?

[noble mango]

Try putting dice to be copied by brainstorm when ur in shop

[frank grove]

yeah even with two brainstorms and oops and if you had crystal ball rebate is usually better

[slow iris]

2 tarot cards

[grizzled robin]

why?

[noble mango]

And see if you get more variants like neg or holo

[grizzled robin]

not how it works

"doubles all LISTED probabilities"

i dont think probabilities for neg and holo are listewd

[slow iris]

oops can't be copied + it only increases listed probabilities

[grizzled robin]

but i might be wrong ofc

alr i wasnt

[noble mango]

ic

[mental bloom]

nope they're not that doesn't change their spawn rate

[noble mango]

I never really got my hands on either blueprint or brainstorm with oops together

[grizzled robin]

yea dice would be S+ tier if it did

[noble mango]

True

[mental bloom]

invis landed on photo :/

[noble mango]

Imagine it increase the chance of soul card

[frank grove]

i think it would be cool if hone and glow up did

[grizzled robin]

aw thats sad

[mental bloom]

from 0.3 to 0.6 eh

[red briar]

i cant win : C

[noble mango]

If you factor in blueprint/brainstorm

[slow iris]

oops can't be copied

[noble mango]

1.2 to 2.4%

Which is pretty massive

[mental bloom]

nah

[noble mango]

Imagine if it can tho

[mental bloom]

yea that would be fire

[frank grove]

I think oops being copyable would be funny

any% cav break

[noble mango]

Ye

[woven spire]

huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[noble mango]

Ok maybe we are making oops a S tier joker

[woven spire]

hell na

[worthy tinsel]

Glad we have invisshowman/ankh

[woven spire]

is my fav joker but oops is NOT S tier

[worthy tinsel]

Nah is not

[mental bloom]

least fav uncommon y'all ?

[noble mango]

Not rn

Im just imagining it being an s tier card

[woven spire]

idol

[worthy tinsel]

Seance

[frank grove]

Showman

[noble mango]

Dagger

[woven spire]

what

[brave goblet]

how can oops be an S tier when it ruins glass builds

[pure schooner]

Never

[pure schooner]

I wouldnt drop rebate for vagabond

[royal bobcat]

Let's go gambling

Now PLEASE hit my coin flips

[worthy tinsel]

Glass joker value ig

[mental bloom]

i love hearing that

[noble mango]

It's not an s tier joker rn

[brave goblet]

true .....

[noble mango]

It never was

[mental bloom]

understandable

[brave goblet]

yes, that's why it will never be an S tier

[mental bloom]

true

[royal bobcat]

Oops s tier????

[ancient gyro]

multiplayer sts2 or something

[pure schooner]

Oops is A tier

[royal bobcat]

Oops is like b tier if I'm nice

[pure schooner]

Crap alone goated with the right build

S tier would be broken on its own and game breaking with synergies

[frank grove]

yeah

[noble mango]

I was just imagining it being able to be copied, doubles the chances of card editions, like negatives, and the chances of soul cards appearing

[frank grove]

oops doesnt do all that much alone

[ancient gyro]

oops is primarily econ/utility

[noble mango]

It's more like c rn

[pure schooner]

Honestly its between a and b for me

[frank grove]

Yeah

[royal bobcat]

S tier is just "you always pick it up unless for some reason you don't have space"

[pure schooner]

C is to low

C is where i put the pickup at start joker

[royal bobcat]

The s tiers I have in mind are rebate blueprint most legendary jokers

[pure schooner]

Blueprint brainstorm
Rebate is A tier

Limited late game potential

[royal bobcat]

Rebate a tier is ragebaiting

[frank grove]

rebate is easily s tier

[ancient gyro]

we're power scaling jokers again 😐

oh well anyways

[pure schooner]

S tier early game but i always drop rebate by ante 6

[royal bobcat]

Let us have some fun

[noble mango]

Honestly all i know is joker isn't good at ante 3+

[mental bloom]

even higher

rebate is too good to be a common

[ancient gyro]

kid named fun

[pure schooner]

Idk why i said A
I meant S

[noble mango]

What if rebate is a legendary

[mental bloom]

dw

[mental bloom]

nah

[pure schooner]

There needs to be a legendary which retriggers every joker

[royal bobcat]

Rebate could be an uncommon (making it much, much harder to get) and still be op

[frank grove]

yorick rework

[pure schooner]

Js a more insane bp or bs

[noble mango]

Imagine an econ legendary

[royal bobcat]

That's perkeo

[frank grove]

yeah perkeo

[pure schooner]

Litterally chicot

[mental bloom]

welp, ggs, no mime unfortunately

[frank grove]

chicot can save you thousands sometimes

[pure schooner]

Temperance +10 value

[heavy heron]

the moon is dead again

[noble mango]

oh right that boy can dupe my 20 bucks card

[royal bobcat]

He ain't no boy

Perkeo is a MAN

[worthy tinsel]

All I see are S tier jokers and an A

[noble mango]

Anyways what if jokers can have seals on them

[blazing breach]

with it being “0.000e26”

[willow frost]

yo wtf

[mental bloom]

wait nvm i cant copy my baron

is vro in class

[noble mango]

How much kings

[blazing breach]

yes

[heavy heron]

it actually does make sense; level 1 high card chips don’t matter because plasma, and the 1 mult doesn’t matter either because it’s holographic queen for flat mult

[mental bloom]

hell yeah

[blazing breach]

shit no clue that penalty would’ve helped
i think 3?

[royal bobcat]

Idk if i'd put wee in S, assuming riff raff is the A tier

[willow frost]

the score being 0e26?

[heavy heron]

kings and photochad

it makes sense

it’s plasma

[blazing breach]

zero time ten to the 26th should be zero right

[heavy heron]

0 times anything is still 0

[willow frost]

a score of 0 doesnt beat any blind

[heavy heron]

so yes

[blazing breach]

then how does 0.00e26 make sense

[heavy heron]

oh because it

[noble mango]

0.00000000 1

[heavy heron]

it’s not showing the full number

[heavy heron]

^

[royal bobcat]

Well naneinf is so high it makes your high score counter go back to 0

[heavy heron]

yes there’s like a decimal we’re not seeing

[willow frost]

then why doesnt it say that

[blazing breach]

oh word so it should’ve like 0.01e25

or 1e23

something

[royal bobcat]

Imo thunk should add an achievement for naneinf and add a little flair to your high score count if you got naneinf

[heavy heron]

scientific notation is inherently a hidden number

[willow frost]

why does it use 26 as an exponent and not 23 or whatever

[blazing breach]

it’s a github version it’s probably really buggy

[heavy heron]

where did the picture go

[noble mango]

Has someone managed to get a red seal steel polychrome king and duplicated it

[willow frost]

bruh lmao

[noble mango]

And also got mime and baron

[willow frost]

still bizarre

[noble mango]

adventure

[heavy heron]

who wants to see my gold stake ante 8 new record non plasma

[fading dome]

I think Thunk has said he's not adding an achievement/unlock/etc for naneinf?

[heavy heron]

but if you see it, you HAVE to glaze it

[blazing breach]

mb i didn’t mean to delete i’ll resend

[royal bobcat]

Well no achievement is fine but I think it'd be cool to have it shown on some screen somewhere that you've gotten it

[heavy heron]

that makes sense… naneinf wasn’t intended..

[heavy heron]

yeah true

[noble mango]

Wish there's a joker that scales when you one shot blinds

[heavy heron]

that’d be awesome

[fading dome]

I mean, I could get behind fixing the statistics screen for the naneinf score

[royal bobcat]

I just think it's weird to have that one thing many people try to reach and when you do get it... It disappears instantly

[noble mango]

But he left it in for the sillies of goobers

[worthy tinsel]

Stuntman is the A
But tbh it would really be a S-/A+

[royal bobcat]

Stuntman is the A? Hmm

[heavy heron]

it doesn’t really disappear does it

the screen fire glitch stays

for like the whole run

LOOLLL

[royal bobcat]

As soon as you do so much as score a hand that does 1 chip worth of scoring after naneinf your high score counter resets

[noble mango]

Is it possible to beat balatro using only F tier jokers

[royal bobcat]

Which I think is lame

And while I for one do not care at all about naneinf I just think it's kind of disappointing

[frank grove]

its possible to do it without any jokers at all so yeah

[royal bobcat]

For the people who do

[noble mango]

Or does those jokers actually be a burden

[heavy heron]

i think the accomplishment lies in how hard it is to reach naneinf, i don’t think the game needs to reward you because it in itself is an accomplishment

but i can see what you mean

[royal bobcat]

No but like why is it literally ERASED when you get it

Like cmon

[heavy heron]

true

because it’s not a number

your high score can’t not exist

yknowww

[grizzled robin]

my lucky card just hit 20$ 3x in a row from hanging chad

[blazing breach]

i got it again with 6 kings and 1 steel queen

[grizzled robin]

man wtf

[blazing breach]

level 2 high card this time
